The Art and Practice of Geomancy: Divination, Magic, and Earth Wisdom of the Renaissance

The Art and Practice of Geomancy by John Michael Greer revives one of the most practical and powerful forms of divination from the Renaissance era. Geomancy, often called the “sister art of astrology,” uses simple figures formed by dots in the earth or sand to reveal profound insights into life’s questions, cycles, and hidden influences.

Greer skillfully reconstructs this nearly forgotten art, blending historical scholarship with step-by-step guidance for the modern practitioner. He explains how geomantic charts are cast, interpreted, and applied to real-life situations ranging from love and career to spiritual guidance. Alongside practical instruction, Greer explores geomancy’s esoteric roots, its ties to astrology, magic, and Hermetic philosophy, and its role as a bridge between earth wisdom and cosmic order.

Far more than a manual of fortune-telling, this book provides a comprehensive system of symbolic divination, offering a way to harmonize personal choices with universal rhythms. Both scholarly and accessible, it is an essential resource for anyone seeking to explore the magical traditions of the West.
