Divining the Future with Jo Edge

The Medieval Podcast - A podcast by Medievalists.net - Thursdays

This week, Danièle speaks with Jo Edge about how onomancy works, who used it, and how it fit in with medieval theology.You can support this podcast on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalists
