An omen you can stand on
Sixteen figures of earth and chance, cast for the practical ventures of life — property, partnerships, launches. The oldest oracle I practice, and the bluntest.
Sixteen figures, one verdict
Geomancy was the oracle of medieval merchants and builders: the caster makes random marks in sand — I use consecrated sand and casting dice — and sixteen figures emerge, each with a temperament. Some figures gain, some lose, some guard, some betray. Read together in a shield chart, they give a verdict on a venture.
A geomancy sitting is forty-five minutes devoted to one undertaking: buying the apartment, signing the partner, launching the business. You leave knowing whether the ground is firm, and what to watch while you build.
Every geomancy sitting holds

From venture to verdict
Name the venture
We define exactly what is being weighed — the property, the partnership, the launch date — and set it as the chart's question.
Cast by your hand
You make the marks; the figures are yours, not mine. I build the shield chart from them and read each house aloud.
Weigh the omen
Firm ground or warning — either way you leave with the verdict, the timing, and the written chart for your records.
Questions, answered
Concrete undertakings: buying or selling property, signing contracts, choosing partners, launching ventures. Matters of the heart are better served by tarot; matters of ground and gold belong to geomancy.
Yes. You make your marks on paper at home while I cast in parallel at the studio; the figures have matched in hundreds of sittings. The ritual translates — chance doesn't care about distance.
Then you have saved yourself the most expensive kind of lesson. A negative verdict always comes with the figures' counsel — what to change, when to revisit, or which alternative ground is firmer.
