Cleromancy

Cleromancy is a form of sortition (casting of lots) in which an outcome is determined by means that normally would be considered random, such as the rolling of dice (astragalomancy), but that are sometimes believed to reveal the will of a deity.

For the use of random selection as a way to make a fair form of selection, see Sortition.
