Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 GEOMANCY: THE SPIRIT OF THE EARTH AND THE WEB OF LIFE Wise men, philosophers, astronomers and phycisists know that everything throughout the universe is moving in a balanced, harmonious dance of energy. The art and science of geomancy helps us learn to become aware of these universal energies as they are experienced upon the planet earth. The literal meaning of the word geomancy is " to divine the earth spirt " . To " divine " is to seek understnading or knowledge through inituition. The accepted definition of geomancy, according to most modern English dictionaries, is :A type of divination or fortune telling that uses features of the landscape. The writers of the dictionary definition incorrectly assume that the " features " (forms) of the landscape are somehouw " read " , giving the geomancer a message. True geomancy is the art of using ones's mind to " tune in " to the energy/information matrix of the planet, thus obtaining information and guidance directly from spirit. Those who wish to perform geomantic rituals seek out power spots for an obvious reason. The energy of the earth is stronger at these places, thus making it easier to " tune in " " . Geomancy is also a holistic philosophy for understanding the earth and mankinds's place upon it. Geomantic philosophy assures us that we are one with the earth and that the energy of the earth is the very force from which we draw our lives. (OR COULD IT BE A DANCE BETWEEN HUMANS AND EARTH) The art of geomancy includes the performance of rituals and meditations that help the people of the earth to communicate with their planet. Group rituals are considered to be very important for maintaining planetary stability. The rituals of the modern Christain church have their origin in Page Geomatic Ritual. Those who study geomancy find that many Christian churches in Europe are built upon power spots initially identified by pagan geomancer. It is interesting to note that the word " pagan " originally meant that a person was a country dweller, or of the earth. Sedona is in no way unique as a place where human beings have identified a special power or presence in the natural features of the land. Since ancient times, those who are sensitive to the spirit of nature have indentified power spots such as Sedona, making them shrines or using them to conduct ceremonies that put them in touch with the Great Spirit and the spirit of the earth. Power spots in Europe that many of our ancestors worked with were used as sites to practice a form of earth worship very similar to that of the Native Americn medicine wheel. These ceremonies were performed in a circle in which the four directions were always honored, and marked with a cross/circle. All life and matter whithin our planet's gravity field are part of an energy matrix that connects everything. Native American mystics speak of this as the " web of life " . The Sedona vortices are just a few of the major power spots of our planet that are connected to this web of life. Strands of the web also travel through space, connecting all things in the universe. The art of geomancy is directly concerned with working with the engergies of the web. Upon our earthly plane most people can best understand the web by thinking of it as Earth Energy, the biomagnetic field of the earth. The wave pattern of our planet's biomagnetic field forms the strands of the web. These strands are known to English- speaking geomancers as Ley Lines. These natural lines of force connect all power spots and vortices. Some modern geomancers refer to the web as the " planetary grid " . The web acts as a group mind for the inhabitants of the planet. It is a channel for information. We seek power spots to make our special prayers because we know that these places help to amplify our prayers (intentions) and project them to all other beings.
