Onomancy
Onomancy, or onomatomancy, seeks divinatory meanings in names through letters, numbers or associations.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
Language and correspondence systems influence the reading; a different spelling can change the result.
An example to explore
Compare a full name with an abbreviated form and observe how a letter-based total changes.
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.
