by Cornelius Agrippa

Geomancy is a book written by the famous 16th century philosopher and occultist, Henry Cornelius Agrippa. This work is a comprehensive guide to the ancient divinatory art of geomancy, which involves the interpretation of patterns made by casting small stones or other objects onto a surface. In this book, Agrippa provides a detailed history of geomancy, its origins, and its various applications. He also delves into the symbolism and meaning behind the sixteen geomantic figures, which are used to create the patterns that are interpreted. Additionally, Agrippa discusses the different methods of casting and interpreting geomantic figures, including the popular ""Shield Chart"" method. He also explains how geomancy can be used for divination, prediction, and even as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth.

About the author

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (most often referred to by the Latinate appellation Cornelius Agrippa, sometimes Anglicized as Henry Cornelius Agrippa) was an occult writer, theologian, astrologer, and alchemist. His writings on magic and occult philosophy were a significant influence on the later work of Giordano Bruno and John Dee, and thus came to underpin much of the Western esoteric tradition.

Badly formatted

Agrippa's contents are wonderful; he deserved a better proofreading, though. The subtitles are often broken and inconsistent. I hope that there's going to be an update.
