Writing Notes: Divination (pt. 1)

It seems humans have for a very long time been troubled by the opacity of the future. They'd like to have a better sense of what lies ahead, and they've come up with some ingenious ways of trying to get at that information, each of which has a name. The suffix -mancy means "divination."

Divination - the art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events, or to discover hidden knowledge. It usually involves the interpretation of omens or, if you're really lucky, the assistance of supernatural powers.

Aeromancy

Divination from the state of the air or from atmospheric substances.

Requires that you keep your eyes on the skies.

You'll have to watch for clouds, birds, precipitation, etc.

This word doubles as a fancy word for weather forecasting.

Aleuromancy

Divination by means of flour.

You dabble in a little aleuromancy every time you crack open the fortune cookie that arrives with your lo mein.

In earlier practices, messages were baked into little balls of dough.

Aleuro - means "flour," naturally, but it's only used in technical words like aleuronat, which refers to a flour with a high gluten content.

Anthropomancy

Divination from the entrails of a human being.

Horrifyingly, anthropomancy is widely reported to have been practiced by a great many of the ancient peoples of the world.

Anthropo comes, via Latin, from the Greek anthrōpos, meaning "human being."

Astragalomancy

Divination by means of small bones or dice.

In early astragalomancy, small bones with marks carved into them were thrown and their positions used to predict the future.

The Latin word astragalus comes from the Greek astragalos, meaning both "neck vertebra" and "molding." The word astragal can in modern English refer to a narrow half-round molding or to a projecting strip on the edge of a folding door.

Axinomancy

Divination by means of the movements of an ax placed on a post.

An ax will only balance on a post for so long.

When it moves, according to axinomancy, its motions offer insight into who is guilty and who is not.

At the word's root is the Greek axinē, meaning "axhead" or "ax."

Belomancy

Divination by drawing arrows at random from a container.

The arrows most often used in belomancy have messages written on them.

The belo- part of this word comes from the Greek bélos, meaning "missile, dart, arrow." Bélos itself comes from ballein, meaning "to throw"—a root of such varied words as problem, hyperbole, parable, and devil.

Bibliomancy

Divination by books, especially the Bible.

You can open any book to a random page and decide that the first thing your eyes land on is a message that pertains to your future: instant bibliomancy.

It is especially practiced with sacred books, such as the Bible.

Cartomancy

Fortune-telling by means of playing cards.

In the 18th century, young women would apparently use cartomancy to learn the details of their own nuptials—including whom their future husband would be.

The cart in cartomancy of course means "card," and as the modern phrase tells us, if it's in the cards, it's inevitable.

Catoptromancy

Divination by a mirror or by crystal gazing.

Catoptromancy is a broad term of divination.

If you want to be specific, use enoptromancy for the mirror divination, like that employed by the wicked queen in the story of Snow White, and crystallomancy for the ball of rock crystal that the Wicked Witch of the West uses.

Employing crystallomancy is also referred to as "scrying." The likely root of the first part of catoptromancy is Greek katoptron, meaning "mirror."

Ceromancy

Divination from figures formed by melted wax in water.

Melted wax takes on interesting forms, and when you pour the melted wax into water the forms solidify and you can tell the future.

🏨 Airbnb: Rebranding to Create a Sense of Belonging

In 2014, Airbnb took a bold step in rebranding, shifting its focus from a simple platform for short-term rentals to a global community built on the idea of belonging. The new logo, affectionately known as the "Bélo," was designed to reflect this mission. It represented the idea that anyone, anywhere, could find a home and a sense of connection through Airbnb. This rebranding was more than a visual update—it was a strategic move to position Airbnb as a global lifestyle brand. Let’s explore how this new identity helped Airbnb grow into the global phenomenon it is today. 🌍 Creating a Universal Symbol Airbnb’s original logo, a basic wordmark, didn’t fully capture the brand’s mission. The new "Bélo" symbol, however, was designed to be universal. It represented the concepts of people, places, love, and community—all key to Airbnb’s vision. Building a Lifestyle Brand The rebranding also marked Airbnb’s evolution from a platform for booking homes to a lifestyle brand. With the new visual identity, Airbnb was able to communicate that it wasn’t just about finding a place to stay—it was about creating experiences, building connections, and fostering a sense of belonging. Lessons from Airbnb’s Rebranding Design for Universality: A strong logo should be simple and easily recognizable across different cultures and languages. Focus on Experiences: Your brand should communicate not just a product, but the experiences and emotions it delivers. Evolve with Your Audience: As your business grows, your brand should evolve to reflect its changing mission and goals. Ready to Create a Brand That Connects? Airbnb’s rebranding shows how a thoughtful shift in identity can elevate a brand from a service provider to a lifestyle leader. If your brand needs a refresh that connects with your audience on a deeper level, let’s work together! We’ll design a brand identity that resonates globally and builds a lasting connection. 🌐 tutmee.ru | Telegram: @tutmee

SGISD PhD Candidate Ashley E. Lazarre Publishes Interview in Woy Magazine 

Congratulations to SGISD PhD student Ashley Lazarre! Ashley interviewed Haitian singer Jean Belony (BélO) Murat about his perspective on the 15,000 asylum seekers who walked from Chile to the Del Rio, TX border. The interview was centered on migration and the need for healing in the midst of natural and man-made disaster in Haiti. Using BélO’s socially conscious music, they discussed building community in times of crisis and upholding Haitian culture and traditions. 

The interview was published last month in Woy Magazine, a bilingual (English and Kreyòl) Haitian lifestyle publication featuring news and other contributions from writers and scholars focusing on Haiti. 

Read the full article and interview, Chèche lavi lòt bò dlo: An Interview with Haitian Singer Jean Belony “BélO” Murat on Migration and Healing. 

Ashley’s research at SGISD focuses on the self-transformation of Haitian women healing their mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional trauma. One of her goals after graduation is to empower vulnerable groups to overcome their collective trauma through storytelling.
