Wendell has coded a fantastic computer program that allows interactive engagement with the alethiometer. It uses the beautiful alethiometer image drawn by David Scutt to produce a working version of the instrument – you can set questions by turning the three dials and the needle will flick to those symbols which form the answer. It's up to the alethiometrist's skill to interprete these of course. You can download the program from us on the alethiometer page.

Hey, I think the windows download may actually be for macs instead. At least, that's what the file says and my windows laptop can't open it! Maybe I'm just pressing the wrong buttons 🙂 Great idea!
Whoops, just didn't link to the right place. Thankee Holly; 'tis fixed now.
genius 🙂
WHeee! That's snazz. I'm going to download it! 😀
That is just unbelievable!!!! :laughing:
This is amazing! It's ambiguous enough that it almost seems to work!
Thanks, guys. 🙂
I've found "oracles" like the alethiometer useful for the reasons that JParry mentions. As you try to make the vague answer somehow connect to the question/issue that you have in mind, you usually end up discovering new aspects about that question/issue that you never considered before. It may not really tell you the truth, but it can help you discover more about it for yourself.
Absoluetly brilliant 🙂
If i had a virtual medal i'd give it to you. But i don't so umm… bye
:laughing:hiya do we ever get to no about who is in?
Version 1.1 is now available at neonavis.com – it has lower CPU usage and symbol popups, and it can be enlarged.
Hi ~
I was trying to find out more regarding how the 36 images were identified with their associated meanings. As I posted on the section about "Religion Is In", I found it interesting that the movie version of the alethiometer (on the movie website) has the images in a different sequence and is missing some interesting interpretations for some of the images.
Specifically:
Sin (from Apple), Soul (from Bird, as well as Spring and Marriage ~ all three were rewritten for the movie version), Christ (from Bread) and The Church (from Sword).
Is the movie messing with canon? Or has the canon not been written yet on the Alethiometer? Sorry for my lack of knowing ~ hence the post!
And THANX Wendell for the program ~ it is amazing. The ability to adjust to interpretations will be a useful to tool.
Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! rytgniyuolxcjd
Neither link working for me. Is it just my macbook being silly or have the links been severed?
The link to the page doesnt work 🙁
Hello! I’m trying to download it and I can’t. The link takes me to an error page. Is it still available? Thank you.
I suspect Wendell has taken it down – it’s been 7 years since this was posted 🙁
