Synopsis

Ars Geomantica explores the medieval system of Geomancy, one of the simplest and most practical of the divinatory arts, and one which crossed the boundaries of class and station due to its effectiveness. The sixteen symbols, their meanings and how to read them are lucidly demonstrated in a concise and lucid style.

Alchemist and sorceror Gary St Michael Nottingham goes far beyond simply providing a thorough exposition of the techniques and interpretations of Geomantic symbols in this work. He demonstrates their applications for working with the elemental energies of air, fire, water and earth, as well as their application in talismanic work and use as symbolic doorways for accessing the subtle realms.

The inclusion of detailed instructions for the creation of geomantic staves, elemental fluid condensers, and talismanic construction and consecration make this work a superb introduction of wide scope to the principles of magic and divination.

Ars Geomantica is Vol. III of the Foundations of Practical Sorcery series by Gary St Michael Nottingham.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Gary St. M. Nottingham first came across alchemy when he was fifteen through reading the popular early 1970's occult magazine 'Man, Myth & Magic.'This encouraged him to find out further about the arte and to study Israel Regardie's 'The Philosopher's Stone'; this in turn led to the works of Hollandus, Paracelsus and eventually Junius. However, it was his involvement with a group of alchemical practitioners that opened many of the doors for him and much that he had learnt finally began to make sense. Subsequently he has taught and written extensively on the alchemical arte, running several one-day workshops and weekends on practical laboratory alchemy. His other areas of occult study are astrology, grimoires, and the Kabbalah, all of which are expressed as part of his alchemical work.Gary is the author of the seven-volume Foundations of Practical Sorcery, and its companion volumes Ars Alchemica, Ars Angelorum and Liber Sigillum. He lives in the Welsh March where he has organised the Ludlow Esoteric Conference, the Grimoire Gathering and the Welsh Occult Conference.
