Геомантия – искусство отвечать на вопросы о будущем

Discover the ancient practice of geomancy, a fascinating divination method popular from the medieval period through the Renaissance. Comparable in popularity to astrology, geomancy offers a powerful way to explore life's questions with a significantly shorter learning curve than Tarot or Horary astrology. Best of all, geomancy requires no special tools or equipment, making it accessible across cultures and time periods – from the Silk Road caravans of Africa and the Middle East to European cities.

Considered a relative of the Chinese I Ching by the renowned mathematician Leibniz, geomancy's origins are shrouded in mystery, though its roots are ancient. Over centuries, it evolved, incorporating astrological symbolism and even adopting astrological house systems during its peak.

This course is ideal for both beginners curious about astrology and experienced astrologers seeking a complementary divination technique. Explore the history and application of this seemingly simple yet profoundly insightful method.

Historically, geomancy flourished in North Africa, parts of Africa, the Middle East, India, and Persia in the middle ages, eventually spreading throughout Europe. The first known European introduction dates back to the 12th century with the first translation from Arabic to Latin. Geomancy also found a following in Russia. Its golden age spanned from the height of Islamic culture to the end of the Renaissance.

Notable figures throughout history have studied and utilized geomancy, including:

• Henry Cornelius Agrippa (1486 – 1538): A prominent German philosopher, physician, lawyer, alchemist, and occultist.
• Robert Fludd (1574 – 1637): An English physician, musician, philosopher, mystic, and astrologer.
• Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 - 1716): A German mathematician, physicist, mechanic, philosopher, diplomat, inventor, and founder of the German Academy of Sciences.
• Alexander Pushkin: The famous Russian poet, whose "philosophical tables" contain configurations reminiscent of key geomancy patterns.
