#Bibliomancy

Bibliomancy is the ancient ritual of treating a randomly opened book passage as divine guidance, borrowing the authority of knowledge to justify one’s own uncertainties. A chance page flip is proclaimed as lofty direction, hiding behind it an excuse-making machinery for misinterpretation. While masquerading as a sincere quest for truth, it is in reality an act of projecting selfish desires onto printed words. The weight of the tome and texture of parchment amplify the aura of mysticism, temporarily easing anxieties about an uncertain future. In the end, any coincidence is merely converted into a self-serving narrative.
