Divining the Future with Jo Edge

from The Medieval Podcast Hosted by Danièle Cybulskie

Not knowing the future is an intensely uncomfortable experience, which is why humans invented a clever system to predict the future through numbers, called onomancy. This week, Danièle speaks with Jo Edge about how onomancy works, who used it, and how it fit in with medieval theology.
