I like how stichomancy is framed here less superstitious and more as a way of being "talked to". The Kabir passage especially makes it feel less like “predicting” and more like listening for something. Something about interior readiness.
I do a rough version of this with clipped magazine words and let the powers that be choose the message. Think I'll be refering to that as Trash - o - mancy from now on...
Trashomancy! Yeah, I quite like your collages! I have done a few punk-ish collages for the cassette covers and there is this kind of “talking to” that happens when the cuttings are scattered on the floor.
Lots of good stuff here. Interesting bit at the beginning on different divination practices.
Thanks! Yeah, there is a divination form for everyone!

"Who will sing songs about blood?"
We, the poets, will sing. So will the dogs of war. (And the trash pandas.)
Ha! That image I don’t think I will forget! Thanks, Janie!
The most impactful books of my life have all fit in the back pocket with one fold or less. Love the design!
It beats carrying around Infinite Jest! :) And, thank you!
