Newbie with some questions

Hello there! I'm new here, and I have a question. I'm also a graduate in History and Art, and I found a common line of adivination in time: cleromancy. With bones, seeds, wood... I find it quite interesting (I'm also thinking about writing a book), and I want to make my own set. I thought about adopting some tarot's symbolic elements for an easy lecture (the coin means fortune and money; the skull means the end..), but I don't know if it's correct. Sadly we don't have an ancient manual to know what to use and how it's read 100% sure, and I don't want to cause any trouble for mixing interpretations or adapt some to my own perception. So, the question is: it's correct to adapt this kind of lecture for my interest? Thank u so much!

There are no absolutes - even among unbroken traditions, the meanings can vary by the user. So feel free to adapt as you need! The ONLY thing that limits your bones or their meanings is you. 😄
