L'etnografia opera per favorire una convergenza delle conoscenze, al fine di comprendere meglio i valori spirituali e materiali legati alla cosmogonia locale attraverso un processo di riappropriazione e legittimazione. Si tratta di un lavoro complesso, poiché nelle dinamiche collettive la tangibilità dei risultati, la loro pertinenza e la loro qualità si scontrano spesso con criteri soggettivi e con l'ampiezza del cambiamento sociale, che non sono affatto facili da dimostrare. La divinazione è una questione di razionalità soggettivizzata e gli elementi a sostegno di essa sono eccezionali e rarissimi. Alcuni contestano il fatto che gli schemi divinatori siano pratiche che sopravvivono solo nelle profondità di civiltà arretrate, poiché gli oracoli greci e romani non sono sopravvissuti al modernismo. Così, la razionalità ha messo da parte questo schema con la sacralizzazione della ragione oggettiva. L'analisi etnografica diventa quindi funzionale, esplorando ora un paradigma esplicativo o causale con una teorizzazione diversificata, intrecciata per una maggiore comprensione di questo ambito non tradizionale che è la sfera divinatoria.
