Sigilinti

Sigilinti is a term used to describe the practice of divining information or gaining insight into a specific situation by analyzing the written or printed words that surround or are associated with it. This can include the study of the layout, typography, and other visual elements of text, as well as the interpretation of various symbols, words, and phrases that are embedded within or near the text in question.

The art of sigilinti is based on the principle that the meaning of text can extend beyond its literal interpretation, and that hidden components of writing can reveal additional information or messages. This practice often involves the use of various techniques such as semiotics, linguistics, and hermeneutics, although sigilinti practitioners may also incorporate other disciplines or personal intuition into their analyses.

While the concept of sigilinti draws on various theories of symbolism, coding, and hidden-meaning, its foundations are somewhat eclectic and may vary depending on the practitioner or school of thought involved. Some modern practitioners of sigilinti resemble those using techniques of lateral thinking, cryptograms, or divination in general, to extract concealed meanings or associations from written texts.

Sigilinti may be used in various contexts, including literature, art, and communication studies, as well as within occult or esoteric traditions. While its methods and interpretations can be idiosyncratic and may correspond with the specific view of the analyst, sigilinti can also be seen as a contemporary take on traditional forms of divination and the interpretation of signs and symbols.
