Geomancy Options

Just out of curiosity, how many people use geomancy as a form of divination. I see lots of posts on tarot, skrying, ouija, and other forms of divination but geomancy is sortof the red headed stepchild of divination methods. Why is that? From what I can tell geomancy includes the energies of a specific place in the reading. In the Cicero's book "Creating Magical Tools" there is a blueprint for a geomancy box and geomancy wand. How many people think that such items would be useful? What is everyone's method for crreating the dots and dashes?

Too bad there aren't any other geomancers! It's a form of divination I often use. Geomancy is perfect outside of ritual. Even as something more complex though, I think it's worth defending. The sixteen figures are substantial concepts to be explored. I've used the Caput Draconis as a sigil with good results. I only attach astrological significance where I think it's necessary and not as part of the whole process... although not all Renaissance geomancy was astrological geomancy.

The system explores divination in a few interesting ways. By building new figures from preceding patterns it's like watching card patterns coming out in a tarot reading. Most geomantic figures have a central divinatory meaning: but digging deeper is what divination is all about. Worth experimenting with.
