1. Each letter of each word in your lexigram must be contained within the original word, name or phrase you are lexigramming. You can use each letter in the original more than once in forming each resultant word in your lexigram, but not in the same word. For example, you cannot derive the words, ‘content’ or ‘contented’ as a lexigram, if your original word, name or phrase contains only one letter ‘T’. You must stick with the same letters, and number of letters, you are given!
2. The word, name or phrase you are lexigramming may not contain more than four of the five main vowels of a-e-i-o-u. It is best if the original contains only three or fewer vowels. Four vowels are permissible, but they are not ideal. If the original word, name or phrase contains all five vowels, it does not want to be lexigrammed, and is too complex to allow you to learn anything from it.
3. The original work, name or phrase may not contain more than fifteen different and separate letters of the alphabet. It is permissible, however, for the original to contain two or more of the same letter, as they count as one different, separate, and distinct letter of the alphabet.
4. The reason for Rules 2 and 3 is, if the original word, name or phrase you are lexigramming contains all five vowels and more than fifteen different and separate letters of the alphabet, you could form just about every word in the dictionary, and your lexigram won’t reveal anything personal or reliable.
5. Make all the words you can from the original word, name or phrase. Then look at the list you have made. Study them. Use your intuition and instinct to then form the words into short sentences. Complete your final lexigram in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS as I will demonstrate in the example below. If necessary, you may add in a lower case a, an, the, or but (in parentheses) to bring more meaning to a sentence, but this should be done sparingly, and only if necessary to comprehend the full meaning of a sentence in the lexigram
6. If the letters ‘n’, ‘o’, and sometimes ‘t’ are present in the word, name, or phrase you are lexigramming, then the words ‘NO’ and/or ‘NOT’ can be used to negate any other words in the lexigram.
Hey Euphonia thanks for connecting me to Lexigram Divination. I am a huge fan of Linda Goodman. I have read her book Star Signs where she has devoted a entire chapter to Lexigrams. I came across this post by googling the word Lexigram Divination. Please post some more on Lexigramming. I am very much into occult arts and divination stuff. If you have read Star Signs by Linda Goodman you will understand what I mean. Awaiting your reply.
Now there’s an idea! I’ve done a yes-and-no stones(Urim and Thumin) deep-dive on one subject; why not a deep-dive on someone’s (or something’s) name? Thank you for that future column idea. I did read Linda Goodman’s Star Signs years ago, and my paperback copy sits on a shelf in my study, though I haven’t looked at it in a while. She has some interesting insights into the meanings of various numbers. Thank you for visiting my blog!
I have that book by Linda Goodman myself. Hmmm…perhaps lexigramming the names of people in the news, or pending legislation, might yield some interesting insights…I’ll have to think about this.
