The Atlas of Systems
The grammars of divination, mapped with clear eyes.
Astrology, tarot, the I Ching and their kin. Each system is charted as what it is: a symbolic language humans have used for centuries to see themselves. The atlas records the grammar, the history, and the honest questions, and lets the systems speak.
