Have you ever lost an important object? Are you taking on a new job? Looking for buried treasure? The Art and Practice of Geomancy teaches readers how to divine the answers to life's everyday questions about health, luck, new jobs, and love, as well as those less mundane tasks such as finding buried treasure, predicting the weather, being released from prison, and identifying secret enemies.
Greer delivers to readers an ancient system of divination in an easy to use form requiring little more than a pen and a piece of paper. Using a system of counting odd and even numbers--from a deck of cards, a roll of the dice, or even by hitting sand or dirt with a stick to generate patterns--readers learn how to cast their own geomantic chart. And for those who wish to delve further, he offers exercises for geomantic meditation and ritual magic.
The Art and Practice of Geomancy will appeal to pagans, followers of the Western Mystery tradition, scholars of folk magic and divination, and anyone who wants to take their past, present, and future into their own hands.

This book is one of the best I've ever read about this topic. It answers all questions a learning geomancer might have. The book focuses on the figures itself instead of the astrological components (planets, signs etc.) that can complicate readings unnecessarily.

John Michael Greer, one of our leading esoteric authors, has done it again! The Art and Practice of Geomancy is definitely the best introduction to the traditional Western divinatory art of geomancy. Literally "earth divination" this lost prophetic art has been confused with the Chinese practice of Feng Shui which concerns itself with esoteric alignment and the orientation of architecture and landscape. Geomancy, which...
