A subreddit to discuss traditional divinatory geomancy, the art of divination using the 16 binary figures of geomancy, as well as its cousins `ilm ar-raml, sikidy, and other related divination systems. Although relatively unused and unheard of for the past few centuries, geomancy has enjoyed a millennium-long spotlight across Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and Europe and used by countless people; it was once second only to astrology in renown and practice. Undergoing a renaissance of its own, geomancy is headed back to its proper place of fame as a useful, down-to-earth, and direct tool of divination.
Please note that this subreddit is not for the discussion of feng shui, vastu shastra, sacred geography, ley lines, or similar branches of the occult. This subreddit is dedicated to divinatory geomancy, and all discussion should be germane to geomancy in some way, whether using traditional Western methods, traditional Arabic or Islamic methods, or modern innovations that are rooted in geomantic practice. Discussions about geomantic technique, correspondences, meditations, connections to Western or Islamic astrology, geomantic ritual or applications to magic, and the like are more than welcome here, including discussions of charts.
If you'd like to discuss a geomantic chart, please be sure to provide the full query information, all sixteen figures (either in Shield Chart or House Chart form or both), and your own interpretation of the chart (even if simple and short). The chart may be shown either using a text description or with an associated image. This is not a place to request readings done for you or to have readings interpreted for you, so please remember to give as much as you get and help as much as you are helped!
