Cleromancy

Cleromancy draws or casts objects as lots and assigns meaning to the resulting selection.

How to approach it

Selecting a symbol and interpreting it are separate steps. Knowing the catalogue, positions and rules before a consultation helps clarify what the result actually offers.

An important distinction

Stones, tokens and dice can serve as lots. Their meanings should be established before the result is known.

An example to explore

Write three themes on identical slips and draw one as a reflection prompt, keeping its original meaning.

Taking the idea further

To explore further, compare the related concepts and note differences in material, procedure and interpretation. If you open a related tool, read its own rules; sharing a symbol does not mean carrying out the same practice.
