Number 4: Artomancy

These divination methods all concern things in the diviner’s environment, often things in nature, or natural substances. These do have some rules, and can have guides as to meanings, but the interpretation is largely left up to the diviner. These are more heavily-dependent on the diviner’s intuition than the Symbolomancy methods are, and they also require an ability to see meaningful patterns in natural substances, in order to derive a message. These divination methods can have a very open-ended and subjective quality to them–where the diviner sees meaning, someone else would see just some naturally occurring phenomenon, or perhaps an interesting alignment, but nothing more. These are divination methods where the inquirer simply has to take the diviner’s word that what the diviner is telling them is the truth.
