For the Hidden project I have looked in the idea of fortune telling. The majority of my research has been done using books as I have found that internet research tends to just throw up sites that tell your fortune rather then offer any of the history or real information.
Reading list:
Runes:
Thorsons Way of - The Runes by Bernard King
Complete Illustrated Guide - Runes: How to Interpret the Ancient System of the Runes by Nigel Pennick
Numerology:
Simple Numerology: A Simple Wisdom Book by Damian Sharp
Numerology: Your Character and Future Revealed in Numbers by Norman M Shine
Tarot:
Dragon Tarot Deck - by Terry Donaldson and Peter Pracownik
Having explored what these topics have to offer I found that Numerology gives the most. Out of all the different types of fortune telling I have looked at it is the oldest and has its roots in many cultures. Also, the fact that it has its roots in science and philosophy, even if now it is a 'pseudo science', to me makes it more creditable. It also, gives me the opportunity to bring together my love of numbers and design in an interesting way.
