February sees the beginning of a new Advanced Geomancy webinar series that I am particularly excited to share - On Remediation. This course gathers together a range of my personal and professional strategies, tactics, techniques, tips and tricks for not only reading and interpreting a situation accurately, but using geomantic divination and magic to actually affect as well as simply describe or analyse the situation in question: to secure the blessings predicted, avoid the pitfalls cautioned against, and remediate situations through ritual action, observations, and ceremony.
While I have taught many Advanced Geomancy courses on geomantic magic - offering descriptions and analyses of ingredients such as plants, minerals, and animals containing the necessary virtues to work with the spirits of the figures - this is the most detailed examination of where divination actually meets and interacts with sorcery. This is the course teaching how to pull detailed regimen of ritual and magical solutions from shield charts.
The types of ritual remediations and therapeutic regimes presented range widely, but are broadly derived from three traditional sources. Firstly, planetary magic - from gathering dirts from locations ruled by the planet that governs a particular geomantic figure, to codes of conduct derived from descriptions of dignified planetary character - provides a basis in the underlying forces and shape of influence powering the Sixteen Figures.
Secondly, many of my remediation strategies are derived from detailed research into humoural theory, the dominant elemental model of not only medicine but magic in Europe for over a millenia and a half. While often considered merely as a personality typology ("oh my god, you're such a choleric, Samantha") humoural understandings of the cosmos are at the root of pre-modern European cosmology, spirit conjuration, and spell-craft as well as psychology, psychiatry, and other healing modalities. As each four-line geomantic figure is a cross-section of different elemental interactions, and as a shield chart is itself zoned to emphasise and de-emphasise certainly elemental expressions, detailed humoural treatments - ranging from recommended food and drink to places to frequent and not visit, and from beneficial colours to wear and keep around you, to company kept, to types of exercise, and much more! - can be derived and issued. I have had great success applying these traditional solutions to the modern lives of my clients and students.
Finally, some portion of these treatments come directly from source, in the form of information gained via spirit conjuration and communication, confirmed with divination and experimentation. They may not be the only ways of working geomantic magic for remedying situations identified by geomantic divination, but they are comprehensive, reliable, and allow a nuanced level of individuated treatment for each querent or client. This course really has been a long time coming, and I feel confident that folks will appreciate its wider applications to their own divination and spell-craft practices.
As with all of my webinar courses offered through those fine chaps at Wolf & Goat, recordings of every session are sent out to students weekly, to re-watch at their convenience or catch up on live sessions they could not attend, along with links, resources and further information to dive deeper into the material at your conveniences. While this course requires you to have taken my Geomancy Foundation training, if you have a burning need to take this course and apply its techniques in your own practice, please feel free to reach out and discuss options, as we may be able to come to an arrangement. Payment plans are also available on request and negotiation. I really do want people to have access to this course!
