The most complete history of Western divinatory geomancy in English plus detailed instructions for its practice.

Here is a complete guide to the lost art of geomancy - one of the major divination systems that are part of the Western magical tradition.Geomancy is simple, quick, and direct - anyone can get answers to any question in a matter of moments by learning how to read the patterns revealed by the 16 symbolic figures formed of single and double points. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, geomancy was used by everyone from popes to peasants because it provided practical, useful results.Often mistaken for feng shui or ley lines, or hidden within poorly explained tables and charts, geomancy has become something of a lost art - until now. Earth Divination, Earth Magic provides a fascinating look into the history, theory, and practice of geomancy, including a thorough set of instructions for both casting and interpreting a chart for yourself, or a friend.

Astrological Geomancy was once the mainstay of the Western Mystery Tradition as a form of divination only matched by Astrology. For centuries, court magicians used Geomancy to advise the crowned heads of Europe on matters related to war, marriages, foreign and economic policy. Most of the top magicians of the Renaissance and Cunning people used Geomancy as a quicker and more easy-to-use form of divination. Sadly, Geomancy, along with Astrology, fell from widespread use in the 19th century. While Astrology was restored to prominence and modernised in the 20th century, its Geomancy council remained an esoteric curiosity. Even within the 20th century, magical groups like the Golden Dawn and Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) rarely enthusiastically embraced Geomancy. The feeling was that although it was accurate, it was difficult as all its texts felt out-of-date, needlessly pessimistic. Lately, steps have been made to fix this issue and restore Geomancy to its rightful place in the modern magical corpus. In Star and Stone, Nick Farrell presents a step-by-step method of understanding Geomancy using more modern astrological methods and interpretations to lift this powerful oracle from its medieval roots and into the Internet age. The book takes the reader through the basics and into more advanced methods still firmly rooted in traditional Geomancy. It takes the would-be Geomancer from their first simple readings to more advanced understandings, all based on a more positive approach to questions. Farrell writes with a magical edge and interest in practical uses for Geomancy oracles, unlike many books on these matters.
