#GEOMANCY

[nekokabuuuri]

[fort-of-novelty]

Geomancy and Necromancy begin to have a lot of overlap when you consider that soil is made of the decomposed remains of plants and animals.

Flesh to Spirit Sun to Earth Rod to Cauldron Knife to Cup Queen most secret, she who flows with the will of the World. Hidden lord, he who knows the placement of all the Stars. Fire glows, Air blows, Water flows, Earth grows. Paint the story of the MANY with the power of the ONE.

Finished my special dice for Geomancy~! I might create a vessel to shake the dice in, since they are a little bit bigger than normal d6 dice.

Tall Tails: Chapter 2

Happy Friday Everyone! Here's the next chapter of Tall Tails, this starts to get a bit more into the narrative but the story itself is a rather slow burn as there is a lot of world building to take care of. I put links to the other sections at the bottom of the post and will try create a carrd file or webpage at some point for them

what sorts of divination practices do you do?

I was raised reading tarot, and have continued to do so into adulthood. However, over the last few years my divination practice has focused on a mix of scrying and roadomancy, observing omens through crystal and comet light. This is a system I hope to further develop and synthesize in the years to come, as my spirits have made it clear it's their preferred method of communication.

I also find geomancy fascinating, and is the traditional methodology I'm the most eager to learn. It does not, unfortunately, come very naturally to me.

In divination, if you can't name, describe!

In the age of predatory phone scammers, I like to imagine Mamoru picking up the phone, listening to the scammer's bogus story, then putting his hand to the Earth and being like, "I know where you live."

I really recommend Dr. Ali Olomi's Patreon. All of his content is stellar of course but what I've found the most useful so far was a translation about identifying enemies and curses upon oneself with geomancy. I find it interesting how the Arabic tradition seems to be more focused on remediation of current conditions than merely fortune telling.

Personally I find divination purely focused on the future kinda... boring I guess. I think it's way more useful to identify the influences at play in a given situation and then figuring out a magical solution for that. In this instance it becomes clear how raml and ifá are probably related since both have built in elaborate magical prescriptions.

Besides, I think western geomancy also has the space for the development of such a corpus. For example it would be cool to figure out the Biblical verses associated to each of the figures.

The I Ching gua arrived at today is Heng: Long Lasting (Zhen•Thunder, Xun•Wind) the long term sharing of commitments, the firm above, the gentle below.

Moon in Sagittarius indicates an uncanny ability to foretell the outcome of where events are leading you, an intuitive receptivity to grasp concepts and symbols. This sits opposite Mars in Cancer, where an inner aggression/energy needs to be brought to the surface, analysed and integrated into the personality, to be consciously directed to a constructive end. Once this emotive is "freed" - we become more adept at dealing with situations (hence Moon in Sagittarius).

Spirit is found in the "grounding" influence of Taurus/Venus, a sense of security found in surrounding yourself with those things you find to be aesthetic - which is opposed by Scorpio (in Scorpio we see what we don't need, what we are able to let go).

This "balance" allows for the free spirit of Moon in Sagittarius to express itself, to escape from the mundane through inner contemplation (meditation as a way of decluttering the mind).

Part of Fortune supports this concept, advising today to do what gives you self-respect, nurture your ideas and fulfil your goals.

Al-Na'am, the Lunar Mansion for today signals success in pursuing this direction.

It indicates we must reign in or let go of unruly passion, albeit angers or aggression (Mars in Cancer) if we are to progress. The opposing Mansion Al-Hanah tells of Venus, to understand and allow for the power and flow of our energies.

In this way, we arrive at Via (Change) the endless cycle of flux and movement: our thoughts become more powerful when infused by the Will.

Time to check the direction you are going in is correct, that all your energies are aligned correctly.

Think of The Moon and how it affects the tides, the water doesn't compete with the gravity of The Moon, it waxes and wains in sympatico.

This gives forth the image of King of Swords, a mentally disciplined mind, thinking things through (the inner energies of Mars in Cancer) and breaking them down in order to make a selection between an ever widening variety of choices.

Allowing then, for Al-Na'am to take part. The firm above, the gentle below of Heng.

Via/Change - Moon in Cancer, thus highlights a restless wandering that is withdrawal into sanctuary, due to being attuned to subtle undercurrents and changes in the environment.

Part of Fortune in Capricorn supports doing whatever gives you self-respect, that which allows you to achieve your goals, but in opposition advises of not being selfish in this ,of being aware of the needs of others in doing this.

🌱Hello all & welcome back to my bog!🌱

I'm Marlow (@palustrine)! I am a queer poc diviner who has been working with their craft for about 8 years almost now. Already really loved rocks growing up and frequented the local crystals store (a chain here in the UK at least) as well as being partial to garden potion making as a child! Combined with discovering the hit game Persona 4 Golden, these threw me into a magical world I never knew was possible before!! Plus many many decks... 💫

My first tarot deck was a mini Rider Waite that I bought secretly and used to practice. Eventually, I gifted this to an ex but it provided me an invaluable experience that has peaked my curiosity since. I now have a lovely little family full of different personalities, uses and more that I adore with my heart in this life past and future. Will share them with you all over time 🌿

I'd now like to offer my services to you lovelies if you feel you may need guidance at any stage of your life. Prefacing from the get go, I do not provide readings regarding relationships (romantic or not) as I do not want to involve someone without their consent in the process. My goal is to provide advice whilst giving you the encourage and tools you may need to invoke this into your life. Whether this may be a simple chat, spell, sigil etc. It will be tailored to you. 🌙

Feel free to contact me if this is something you are interested me so we can discuss details. I operate on a sliding scale currently with an regular price for each of my offerings. 🍃

Community simple readings shall hopefully be making a return here on the blog too! Look out for posts welcoming asks to recieve a 1-2 card reading or opt for a "pick a card" style instead. 🌠

MAGICKAL EXPERIMENTATION: CRAFTING THE SEAL OF DARKNESS II

(Check out part 1 to get caught up)

Witchcraft is a science, and we can test and confirm results.

I have spent the last two-ish weeks working on a series of nightly rituals, with the desired result of crafting a Seal that would allow me to connect with the dead self. The nightly workings, while magically potent, were not what I had intended.

It seems being able to direct my will when performing automatic drawing is more tricky than I initially thought. Towards the fifth night in a row, I found myself having a difficult time being able to focus. And I don't mean in a way that made it hard to focus on the present moment in the rite. Rather, it was trying to continue the flow of power that I had started on the first night.

While the automatic drawings I did are potent; and I do plan on using them in sigil crafting, it didn't feel like things were clicking together. It certainly didn't help that I had a very busy and tiring week during all this.

Instead of bashing my head against the wall trying to force things, I stopped and took a step back. It was time to utilize one of the best resources for magical workings: divination.

I find the specificness of Geomancy useful for determining if a spell has worked or not. It allows both a "Yes or No" answer, while also being able to go into details about that answer.

In my reading, I found that the Way of Points (branching from the Judge) stopped at the Left & Right witnesses. This meant that the problem was not something so deep. And luckily, I found that my past efforts (Right Witness) had been fruitful. The tools and exercises done were on the right track.

It seems, to obtain my goal, I need to figure out a way to unify the magical elements into a more conjoined ritual (per the Left Witness).

With that information, my previous issues have better context to what has been missing. Perhaps the next attempt shall be the one.

Time to draft up a new outline for the working~

Tall Tails: Chapter 1

So I have a story I've been working on for a while and I've decided to go ahead and post it in installments.

Miyuki, a golden fox, and anthropology exchange student from the University of Kyoto has traveled to LA in order to learn about her culture, having grown up with very little exposure. Hoping to start a new life and reinvent herself, Miyuki visits the home of one of her neighbors, Grey Kimura, who is developing a system for using computers to redirect spiritual energy. Grey also has a deep connection to Fox culture. Join Miyuki on a journey of self discovery as she learns more about the world she never knew.

Right Witness and Left Witness is Cauda Draconis and the Judge is Populus. As the Judge is Populus it may suggest that the week ahead will see you interacting whether in a social or business related matter with a large amount of people. It is more of a week where you aren’t pushing your agenda in getting your way onto them but rather reflecting on what they have to say. As both Witnesses are Cauda Draconis is seems to suggest that these interactions and reflections will end abruptly more in a negative manner than in any positive way. I feel that what you are going to expect this week is to see your role during the week as a Siever Shaker by sorting the wheat from the chaff from the people that cross your path.

This is my first attempt at doing a geomancy reading so please don’t judge me too harshly.
