Geomancy Poll

The term Geomancy originated from Ancient Greek geōmanteía translates literally to “foresight by earth”. In the beginning, Geomancy was performing by drawing on sand, or on dirt. There are 16 Geomancy figures that are made from randomly drawn numbers of lines or dots. The figures are entered into a specialized table, known as the shield chart, which illustrates the recursive processes reminiscent of the Cantor set that form the figures and according to place (the house) where a certain figure is, the fortune is predicted.

        • It’s too complicated for one comment. Just google it. But considering similarity between yijing and geomancy, there are many of them, as many as differences. You can even combine those two (of course, you need to be the master of both disciplines). I suppose that people on different parts of the Earth have come to the certain conclusions at the same time. Differences have been dictated by their backgrounds (religion, geography, traditions…..).

          • Okay, like numerology is supposedly a micro reflection of the macro. Some types of divination are meant to work by sympathetic magic. Some of them, I have no idea why they’re meant to work…

    • It’s an ancient foretelling discipline that originates from Persia. It’s similar to yijing (I Ching in Mandarin), a classic divination text, known as Book Of Changes. It seems that this topic is pretty intriguing, so I’ll write more about that in next posts. 🙂
