Geomancy

Geomancy is a very old oracle.

It was created in the deserts of old Egypt, Persia... and north of Africa, where they used it as an oracle or as a healing method, combined with henna. It is said that from it, such divinig methods as tarot, I-ching and others were created. Who knows! ;-)

It is formed by a binary system of dots: one or two dots and 4 lines form the figuers, there are 16 figures, attaching to diverse aspects of life and spiritual behaviour

Healing use of geomancy: These figures are attached to 7 Genius (there are two figures for 1 genius), associated to the 7 planets, and to places. Each genius are energies, they have  entrance, stagnation and exit zones, and are the ones who move healing forces. With henna tattoos on this places you can attract those forces to heal you, combining the symbol for the genius with the figure. This is an ancestral wisdom live only in some remote places in the North of Africa
This example at the left corresponds to Al-Burquán, genius corresponding to Venus, with the figure of Puella

Divining uses of geomancy: 
  • you can make the Nagwa, that´s a kind of astral chart where you place all the figures formed for you in this precise moment. You make some points and there is a procedure of forming concrete figures. They are placed according to astrological houses and from this, interpreted
  • You can make cards for each figure and drop them
  • You can calculate one figure to get a message
It is another way of knowing yourself

Paracelsus would know it and studied it. There is a card deck that's inspired in geomancy
