The Bibliomancer at Work

For Art Crawl, I’ve been creating these bibliomancies that I place into envelopes and seal with wax, so no one knows what they’re going to get before they purchase it. Most of them have phrases in the form of instructions — you’re meant to pose a problem and then ask, “What should I do?” Then open the envelope, read the words that have not been redacted, and figure out how to apply them. Others are like the one above, more like fortune cookie fortunes.

I decided to make a video showing the steps in the process. Once I did that, I had to make some appropriately other-worldly music to go with it. Which is why this is coming out only a few days before Art Crawl. Anyway, link the photo above to go to the video on Youtube. And come on down this weekend (October 4-6) to pick up your own.
