A three-part discipline
01 Identify the object. A letter, number, diagram, body, garment, planet, and narrative figure carry meaning in different ways.
02 Date the interpretation. An ancient shape may receive a medieval theology, a Renaissance overlay, and a modern occult correspondence.
03 Name the community. Jewish, Christian, Hermetic, and Gnostic readers can use similar forms for profoundly different religious purposes.
