19:30 Geomancy & Astrology: Chris Mitchell
Geomancy is a form of fortune telling that was popular in medieval and Arabic times and it has its origins in West African form of sand divination. It has similarities with the Chinese I Ching in that it is a technique that generates images or ‘figures’ that can be interpreted both via imagery and relationships to astrological houses and planets. After a brief introduction to its history and how it was used astrologically, we will do some ‘quick and dirty’ fortune telling of our own and have some fun with this quick and surprisingly simple technique.
