GEOMANCY

By G.H. FRATER D.D.C.F. ONE The figures of Geomancy consist of various groupings of o an even points in ! "ines. Of these the greatest possi#"e num#er of com#inations is $%. Therefore these si&teen com#inations of o an even points arrange on four "ines are the si&teen figures of Geomancy. These are again c"asse un er the hea s of the E"ements' the (igns of the )o iac' an the *"anets. T+o figures are attri#ute to each of the (even *"anets' +hi"e the remain er are attri#ute to Caput an Cau a Draconis the Hea an Tai" of the Dragon' or the North an (outh No es of the ,oon. Furthermore' to each *"anet an (ign certain ru"ing Genii are attri#ute . T-O Rough"y spea.ing' the mo e of o#taining the first four Geomantic figures' from +hich the remain er of the Divination is ca"cu"ate ' is #y mar.ing o+n at ran om on paper +ith a penci" he" #y a "oose"y tense han $% "ines of points or ashes' +ithout counting the num#er p"ace in each "ine uring the operation. /t shou" #e one very rapi "y. A"" the time thin. fi&e "y of the su#0ect of the 1uestion. -hen the $% "ines are comp"ete ' the num#er of points in each "ine shou" #e a e up' an if the resu"t #e o a sing"e point or cross shou" #e ma e in the first of the three compartments to the right of the paper. /f even' t+o points or crosses. These $% "ines are represente #e"o+.

These yie" four Geomantic figures. The resu"ts' o an 2or even' of "ines ito ! inc"usive comprise the first figure' of Fortuna ,inor. Of "ines 3 to 4 the secon figure5 of "ines 6 to $7 the thir 5 of "ines $8 to $%' the !th figure' as sho+n in the iagram. *9AN OF GEO,ANT/C D/:/NAT/ON

The sym#o" of a *entagram either +ithin or +ithout a circumscri#e circ"e shou" #e ma e at the top of the paper on +hich the ashes are ma e.

This +i"" he"p to concentrate the min an to e"evate it to the highest notion compati#"e +ith the metho . Do remem#er that in one of the Ritua" o#"igations' the aspirant s+ears that in a"" his magica" +or.ings he +i"" a"+ays invo.e the highest ivine names that he .no+s. Thus he +i"" a"+ays #e +or.ing un er the aegis of the ivine. -ithin the centre of the *entagram' the (igi" of the ;Ru"er< to +hich the matter of the 1uestion specia""y refers' shou" #e p"ace . /f the 1uestion #e of the Nature of (aturn' such as agricu"ture' sorro+' eath' etc.' the (igi" of )a>e" shou" #e p"ace in the *entagram. /f of ?upiter' concerning goo fortune' feasting' church preferment' etc.' the (igi" of Hismae". /f of ,ars' +ar' fighting' victory' etc.' the (igi" of Bart>a#e". /f of the (un' po+er' magistracy' success' etc.' the (igi" of (orath. /f of :enus' "ove' music' p"easure' etc.' the (igi" of @e eme". /f of ,ercury' such as science' "earning' .navery' etc.' the (igi" of Taphthartharath' etc.' /f of trave""ing' fishing' etc.' un er 9una' then the (igi" of Chasmo ai. /n the iagram appen e ' the (igi" of Hismae" is emp"oye .

During the mar.ing o+n of the points' the attention shou" #e fi&e upon the (igi" +ithin the *entagram' an the min shou" carefu""y consi er the 1uestion propose . A goo i ea to to repeat out "ou the name of the Ru"er as if to invo.e him. This shou" a"so #e fo""o+e #y a short statement repeate again an again concerning the topic of ivination. The han shou" not #e remove from the paper unti" a"" $% "ines of points have #een finishe . For e&amp"e if you +ishe to as. a 1uestion concerning the ac1uisition of +ea"th you +ou" use the (igi" re"ating to ?upiter' Hismae".

The phrasing of the 1uestion shou" #e very efinite an specific.D The +ho"e phrase shou" #e repeate fre1uent"y unti" a"" $% "ines of ots have #een comp"ete .

A penci" is prefera#"e to a pen for this tas. of tracing the ots. Other+ise' use a contemporary fe"t pen or mar.ing pen +hich is i ea" for this purpose. /t is practica""y more convenient to ra+ or ru"e four "ines across the paper #eforehan to mar. off the space for such four "ines composing a Geomantic Figure as sho+n on the previous page. The first four Geomantic figures forme irect"y from the $% "ines of points are ca""e The Four ,others. /t is from them that the remaining figures necessary to comp"ete the Geomantic scheme of irection are erive . These shou" no+ #e p"ace in a ro+ from right to "eft' for the greater convenience of the necessary ca"cu"ation though much practice may

ren er this unnecessary. The first figure +i"" #e attri#ute to the (outh' the (econ to the East' the Thir to the North' an the Fourth to the -est.

From these Four ,others' four resu"ting figures ca""e the Four Daughters are no+ to #e erive ' thusE The uppermost points of the First ,other' +i"" #e the uppermost points of the First Daughter. The correspon ing' that is the first "ine of' points of the (econ ,other +i"" #e the secon points of the First Daughter. The same "ine of points of the Thir ,other +i"" constitute the thir points of the First Daughter. The same points of the Fourth ,other +i""" #e the fourth points of the First Daughter. The same ru"e app"ies to a"" the figures. The secon "ine of points of the four ,other figures +i"" comprise the (econ Daughter. The thir "ine of points of the Four ,others +i"" comprise the Thir Daughter' an the fourth "ine of points of the Four ,others +i"" comprise the Fourth Daughter an so on. App"ying the a#ove ru"e throughout' the fo""o+ing +i"" represent the Four DaughtersE

These' again for the convenience of the #eginner' are no+ to #e p"ace on the "eft han of the Four ,others in a sing"e "ine from right to "eft.

From these eight figures' four others are no+ to #e ca"cu"ate +hich may #e ca""e the Four Resu"tants' or the Four Nephe+s. These +i"" #e the 6th' $Fth' $$th' an $7th figures of the +ho"e scheme. The Ninth figure is forme from the points of the first an secon figures compare together. The Tenth from the 8r an !th figures5 the $$th from the 3th an %th figures' the $7th from the Gth an 4th figures. The ru"e is to compare or a together the points of the correspon ing "ines. /f' for instance' the first "ine of the First ,other consists of one point' an the first "ine of the (econ ,other a"so consists of one point' these t+o are a e together' an since they form an even num#er t+o points are mar.e o+n for the first "ine of the Resu"tant. /f the a e points are o ' on"y one point is mar.e for the resu"ting figure. The Ninth figure of Con0unctio is thus forme .

No+ the first figure has one point at the top' the secon figure has one point at the top=together they ma.e t+o' an even num#er' thus ma.ing 7 points for the ne+ figure. The first figure has one point on the secon "ine' an the secon figure has t+o points on the secon "ine. Together they ma.e three points' an o num#er' therefore represente #y one point in the ne+ figure. The rest fo""o+ simi"ar"y an is represente again #y the figure #e"o+.

CONJUNCTIO The other Resu"tants are ca"cu"ate in precise"y the same +ayE

/n this +ay are yie" e the four Resu"tantsE

/n this +ay are yie" e the four Resu"tantsE

An thus the T+e"ve *rincipa" Figures of the Geomantic scheme of Divination are comp"ete . These again correspon to the $7 Astro"ogica" Houses of Heaven' +ith +hich they +i"" "ater on #e compare . THREE For the greater assistance of the Diviner in forming a 0u gment upon the genera" con ition of the scheme of $7 figures thus far o#taine ' it is usua" to e uce from them three other su#si iary figures. These three are of "ess importance than the t+e"ve previous figures' an are not to #e consi ere at a"" in the "ight of component figures of the scheme' #ut on"y as ai s to the genera" 0u gment. These other figures are .no+n as the Right -itness' 9eft -itness' an the ?u ge. The t+o +itnesses are +ithout significance in the ivination' e&cept as they are the roots from +hich the figure .no+n as the ?u ge is erive . The Right -itness is forme from the 6th an $Fth figures #y comparing the points in the manner #efore sho+n in the formation of the Resu"tants. That is the correspon ing "ines of points in the t+o figures are compare together' an the a ition' +hether o or even' comprises the points of the -itness. The 9eft -itness represents the com#ination in a simi"ar manner to the $$th an $7th figures. The ?u ge again is forme in precise"y the same +ay from the T+o -itnesses' an is therefore a synthesis of the +ho"e figure. /f he #e goo ' the figure is goo an the 0u gment +i"" #e favoura#"e5 an vice versa. From the nature of the formation of the $3th figure' the ?u ge' it shou" a"+ays consist of an even num#er of points' an never of o . That is' a ing together the four "ines of points' comprising the ?u ge' the resu"t shou" #e an even num#er. For if the ?u ge +ere a figure of o points it +ou" sho+ that a mista.e ha #een ma e some+here in the ca"cu"ation. The Reconci"er is a $%th figure sometimes use for ai ing the ?u gment #y com#ining the ?u ge +ith the Figure in the *articu"ar House signifying the thing eman e . Thus' in the prece ing scheme' the ?u ge forme is *opu"us' an the (econ Figure' #eing Amissio' their com#ination a"so yie" s Amissio.

Divi e that num#er #y t+e"ve' an p"ace the *art of Fortune +ith the figure ans+ering to the remain er. /f there is no remain er it +i"" fa"" on the $7th figure. The *art of Fortune is a sym#o" of rea y money' money in cash #e"onging to the Huerent' an is of the greatest importance in a"" 1uestions of money.
