Geomancy | A Wisdom Archive on Geomancy | | Geomancy Geomancy refers to an ancient form of divination in which, simply put, handfuls of soil or other materials were scattered on the ground, or markings made in the earth or sand, to generate a range of dot configurations which could then be "read" by a seer.

| Archives on Geomancy | | | | Geomancy and Feng Shui In the 19th century, geomancy came to be applied to the Chinese practice of feng shui by which the location and orientation of houses and tombs was determined with close regard to the topography of the local landscape. The feng shui master or geomant employed a circular magnetic compass, called a luopan, which was marked off in rings containing data relating to astrology, directions, the elements, landscape forms, times of day, and so on. The aim was to locate a site where the energies or ch'i of the land and sky were brought into perfect balance. The harmony of these energies ensured good fortune.
The science of feng shui, literally "wind and water", recognized that certain powerful currents and lines of magnetism run invisible through the landscape over the whole surface of the earth. The task of the geomancer was to detect these currents and interpret their influences on the land through which they passed.
These lines of magnetic force, known in China as the "dragon current", or lung-mei, existed in two forms: the yin, or negative, current represented by the white tiger, and the yang, or positive, current, represented by the blue dragon. The landscape will display both yin and yang features; gently undulating country is yin, or female, while sharp rocks and steep mountains are yang, or male
It was the aim of the geomancer to place every structure precisely within the landscape in accordance with a magic system by which the laws of music and mathematics were expressed in the geometry of the earth's surface. The landscape itself may be manipulated in order to achieve the harmony sought through the placement or adjustment, or removal, of trees or rocks, or bodies of water. Every feature of the landscape may be contrived to produce an effect which ultimately is perceived as beautiful; indeed, perceived beauty in a landscape may in fact be simply when the lines of the dragon current are in balance.
At the outset, a geomancer must locate the course of the major lines of the dragon current in his or her area. These days, it is claimed that such energy lines can be detected, and traced, through dowsing.

Spiritual Dictionary on Geomancy
Geomancy: The term Geomancy is also used to describe the observation of energy lines (ley lines) and how important prehistoric sites seemed to follow these straight lines. This work began in the 1920s by a man named Alfred Watkins. Ley lines were later connected with the "Dragon Lines" of feng shui. Feng shui is also called geomancy.

Craft Witchcraft Dictionary on GEOMANCER GEOMANCER is someone who practices the art of GEOMANCY, which is a system of divination that consists of making a random number of marks either on paper or a shallow box filled with earth, then constructing a pattern of dots from those marks, which are then interpreted for the answer. If you would like to know more about how this is done, The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie has a chapter about it. It's a rather complicated system, and it's used mostly in connection with ceremonial magic. (See also: GEOMANCER, Witchcraft, Wicca, Paganism, Pagan Dictionary)

Spirituality Dictionary on Geomancy Geomancy (Greek. , "earth divination") A widespread system of divination either by means of designs drawn randomly on the ground with sand, pollen, or other similar powders or by detecting, through calculations and signs, the hidden forces present in the landscape. Chinese geomancy (feng-shui, lit. , "wind and water") is an ancient system of site analysis to determine its suitability for grave, home, or temple. Diviners often used a special compass (lo-p'an) that indicated the main cosmic factors impinging upon a site. In a "lair" (a hollow), in front of a hill, or behind a body of water were the most desired locations. Geomancy is best understood as an ancient method of harmonizing humans and their works with the terrestrial and celestial powers that might bring good or bad fortune to those who wished to build. See feng-shui (See also: Geomancy, New Age Spirituality, Body Mind and Soul)
