If Artomancy can be defined as divining from one’s environment, then discussion of it would be incomplete without addressing this newish phenomenon called ‘Angel Numbers.’ You’ve probably already experienced this. You glance at a clock and it reads 4:44, 11:11 or some other repeating number. Or you’re walking down a street and you notice a license plate with the numbers 123 or 1234. Or lately when you rise in the morning, the clock always reads 6:05. Or it’s a three-digit number in a supermarket window or a six-digit number on a document which draws your attention and feels significant somehow. Angel numbers divination says these aren’t accidents; these are angels (and sometimes your ancestors or spirit guides) sending you definite messages, relevant to what is going on in your life at that moment.
As I recall, digital clocks came into widespread use in the 1970s. Before then, it was mainly analog clocks, with their round faces, minutes and hours marked, and their eternally spinning hands that everyone used to tell time. With the advent of digital clocks, it became possible to see three of the same number in a row, if you were looking at the clock at precisely the right time. The thing is, some people noticed they were happening to look at the clock when the same three numbers were displaying themselves multiple times. Almost as if there was a message behind it. And angel numbers divination was born.
