May I ask what the words refer to when you post your lovely pictures? Number/object - is it a divination thing?

it is used as a matrix of meanings interpreted by 'day-keepers' to discuss social and psychological issues, plan events, name children.

Fascinating stuff. Did/do day-keepers have other rôles outside that of meaning interpretion/divination? Perhaps healing or shamanistic responsibilities - so often there is overlap between people who are healers and capable of intermediation/interpretation.
