Generally yes. The Romans usually "took the omens" before beginning any major project and a long journey would be considered a major project in those times. They especially consulted omens or soothsayers before sea travel, as the Romans in general, were "landlubbers" and not natural sailors as were, say the Greeks or Phoenicians.Generally yes.

The universal language used in "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho is the language of omens, signs, and symbols. Through these elements, the characters in the novel communicate with the universe and gain insights into their personal journeys and spiritual growth.
I figured it out now, In the Alchemist, the KIng of Salem gives Santiago a white stone named "Urim" it signifies no. The king also gives the boy a black stone named "Thummim" and it signifies yes.
He tells them about the two hawks he saw fighting on the outskirts of the Oasis. From that he warns them about an upcoming army.
nagitive -- If you read the book you'll know that the omens are more positive than negative. (or "nagitive"). The omens help to guide Santiago on his journey to achieve his personal legend. Sometimes the omens show impending attacks. Sometimes they just appear to help him make a decision. In the grand scheme of things, you could more accurately depict all omens as positive because they are helping to point you in the right direction. The direction of your personal legend.
The alchemist tells the Englishman to observe the omens in the desert to understand the universal language of the world and to help him in his journey toward finding his Personal Legend. The Englishman is advised to be patient, listen to his heart, and be open to the signs that will guide him towards his purpose.
In Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist," Santiago's omens are signs and symbols that guide him on his journey to discover his Personal Legend. These omens include recurring dreams about treasure hidden near the Egyptian pyramids, the advice from Melchizedek, the king of Salem, and the language of the world that communicates through nature and events. Santiago learns to recognize and interpret these omens as crucial messages that help him navigate challenges and make decisions on his quest. Ultimately, they serve as reminders of the importance of following one's dreams and listening to one's heart.
Oh, dude, the unspoken language in "The Alchemist" is like, the language of the universe or something. It's all about signs and omens guiding the main character on his journey to find his Personal Legend. So, yeah, it's not like Spanish or French or anything, it's more like the vibes and energy of the universe speaking to you, man.
A term which comes up repeatedly in the text, the Soul of the World is sometimes equated with God. It is a spiritual force that binds all of us together and governs all things and that speaks with us in the language of signs or omens.
No such alchemist.
