Earth Divination or Geomancy is an oracle system that gives accurate readings and it can predict futre cycles that are about to unfold.  Also I have developed a beautiful way of working with Gaia’s symbols to heal your home-the land upon which you live or your workspace. 

From readings to house clearing, Gaia’s divination system is easy to learn and it is unique.

Earth divination or geomancy is an ancient divination system. Millennia ago, in times of uncertainty, to seek advice and to predict the future, a priestess or priest would throw precious seeds upon the Earth. The position and pattern they fell in was intuitively interpreted. Undoubtedly, the seeds represented the Earth Mother’s fertility and questions concerning the approaching harvest would be eagerly sought. Communicating with the Earth was paramount, predicting the affect of her seasons were essential for a plentiful harvest, or to forecast the forthcoming influences of a cold, bleak winter. Earth divination created a bridge connecting the priestess or priest to Gaia, and it was considered a sacred way of divining.

Deeply connected to the Earth and living closely with Nature, our distant ancestors created sixteen geomantic symbols to personify Gaia’s many expressions. For instance, one geomancy symbol represents joy, summer and abundance and another symbol represents loss and autumn, a time when the trees shed their leaves. These ancient symbols became the voice of Gaia; they contain earthly wisdom and can offer excellent advice.

Medieval influences

During the 16^th century, a magician called Cornelius Agrippa reintroduced earth divination to European shores. Born at Cologne in 1486 Agrippa became an accomplished physician, military commander and was a spy in the service of Maximilian the First. He became the foremost geomantist, translated ancient Hebrew texts into Latin, and was the first European scholar to expound upon the Cabala. Agrippa influenced many writers on magic such as Francis Barrett, Eliphas Levi and A.E. Waite. Agrippa used the method of tapping a long stick or stave into the earth to make four groups of sixteen lines of indentations that represented the body of Gaia. The first line of notches created Gaia’s head, the next line her neck, body and feet. Symbolically, Gaia was laid before the diviner cast in the Earth and ready to speak. The notches were added up and interpreted. Agrippa Latinised the names of the archaic symbols and five hundred years later, their Latin names still remain in use.

The geomantic symbol called Conjunctio meaning Union

During the 17^th century, occultists merged geomancy with astrology assigning a zodiac sign and planetary ruler to a geomantic symbol. However, critics claimed that geomancy was ‘an earthbound science’, which should remain separate from astrology. In the 19th century, a German scholar Franz Hartmann devised an indoor method of geomancy. Dots or lines were randomly drawn upon a piece of paper echoing the former tradition, and in the time-honoured practice, the dots created the geomantic symbols. To preserve this ancient geomantic practice, we have included the original way of casting a geomantic chart as devised by Agrippa, which can be found at the back of your PDF manual that comes with your course.

Today, we can revisit this timeless divination system in the form of sixteen beautifully illustrated cards. Staying with tradition, we have used the age-old geomantic symbols that represent Gaia’s many moods.

Amulets

The Power Symbols can be pressed into the Earth using a staff  as did our ancestors, or simply draw the Power Symbol on a piece of paper or you can make a crystal array. Gaia’s energy is with you.

Reconnecting to Nature

For some, our busy modern day lifestyles can cause a ‘disconnect’ from nature. Geomancy serves to reconnect us to Gaia, the land and the magic of nature. Each card is associated with a tree uniting the symbols to the natural world and adding an eloquent meaning to the card. Conjunctio meaning Union (relationships and marriage) is associated with the hawthorn tree. For centuries, hawthorn flowers that grace the month of May have been associated with greenwood marriages. Rubeus meaning Redhead (anger and passion) is associated with the holly tree that can prick the skin and hurt us. You may wish to go and visit the associated tree and absorb its energy and wisdom. Tree roots go deep into Gaia and connect to her wisdom.

Heal Your Home and Communicate with your house and the land upon which you live

Unlike other divination systems, the geomancy symbols can also be used to heal our homes, clearing it of unwanted energy and they can help us to heal our emotions and to manifest our goals and visions. They are truly magical. You will discoverer the geomantic Power Symbols of Gaia and be able to negate negative influences.
