In the Prayer of the Gnomes, the patron power of the Earth elementals is addressed as “Thou who hidest beneath the Earth, in the Kingdom of Gems, the Seed of the Stars”. We may look to this appeal as an example of how geomancy – that worldly sister of Astrology – works at a crossroads of astral and chthonic craft.

In considering foundational astral transmissions and manifestations, we may understand that geomancers do not simply borrow astrological schema (such as the sympathies of the planets or the useful taxonomy of the Twelve Houses) but also engage in drawing knowledge of an astral origin back up from the earth, precisely insofar as that earth and its denizens of plant and mineral remember and collect every ray of starlight that ever graced or instantiated them.

The geomantic techniques of marking sand or dirt with the points of figures may here be apprehended as a way of reminding the earth’s embodied spirits that they too have an astral heritage, just as Agrippa speaks of ritual action as stirring and re-awakening the indwelling occult virtues of materia. In this sense, geomancy is explored not simply a magic practiced by our ancestors, but itself an ancestral craft of reminding the earth and its denizens of their envirtued potencies and interrelationships.

In this geomantic manner, the world – and its spirits of stone and soil – can be approached as a treasure-house of both astral and worldly knowledge and sorcery.
