"Santiago receives two stones in exchange for giving some of his sheep. Urim and Thummim. The white stone, Urim, means 'no' while the black stone, Thummim, means 'yes'. This brings the theme of omens into the book. An omen is an event regarded as good or evil. These stones allow him to understand the good and bad omens of his life. So the whole idea of 'omens' adds to his central understanding of knowledge." — Jan 18, 2020 03:26PM
