Hey all.
If any of you were a Linda Goodman (dec) fan and have read "Star Signs - The secret codes of the universe" then you'll be familiar with the word lexigram.
Basically, a lexigram is when you take a word, name, or phrase and look for hidden words within - that further describe the word, name, or phrase. It's similar to an anagram, only it uses your psychic intuition. New words literally jump out at you.
It's not about finding the most words, its about uncovering hidden meanings.
When you have the words, it's great to turn them into a new sentence or even a poem.
Let me give you an example. Out of the name Aeclectic Tarot, I can see:
"AT AECLECTIC TAROT, I CREATE" and "AECLECTIC CARE A LOT"
They were just two examples off the top of my head.
There are some rules:
1. The original word, name, phrase cannot contain more than 15 different letters and no more than four vowels (eg. the word Tarot has two T's and is counted once in the letter count which equals four).
2. Each letter of each new word (name or phrase) must be contained in the original word (name or phrase).
3. You can use each letter more than once in your new phrase, as long as they aren't in the same word. (eg. From Aeclectic Tarot, you can have "A LOT LATER")
4. When a negative word appers in a Lexigram, and the letters N. O. or T. also appear - it can cancel the negative word (eg. He is not a thief etc). Similarly it can mean that person has been accused of such but is not guilty.
5. If N.O.T. do not appear, or if Y.E.S. appears with a negative word, this person has to change their behaviour, or consider changing their name.
6. If both N.O.T. and Y.E.S. appear, they cancel each other out.
7. Never lexigram a person's name unless you have their permission, as it can uncover personal secrets about them.
8. All final lexigrammed words should be written in uppercase.
Would you have picked that in my full name (which you don't know) I have the words ANALYSE AND DETAIL?
Have a go at it yourself and see how you go. Try doing your Aeclectic name, your real name, or even Aeclectic Tarot's name. When it gets really interesting is when you lexigram your maiden and married names (if applicable). Then you can see if you are better or worse off, literarily speaking.
Linda Goodman believed in it so much, she changed the name of her book.
Cheers
