Of Astronomical Geomancy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162846200)

Of Astronomical Geomancy is a book written by Henry Cornelius Agrippa, a 16th-century philosopher and occultist. The book is a treatise on the practice of geomancy, a divinatory art that uses symbols and patterns to predict the future. Agrippa's version of geomancy is heavily influenced by astrology and astronomy, and he explains the various methods of divination using charts and diagrams. He also includes sections on the history and philosophy of geomancy, as well as its relationship to other occult practices such as alchemy and magic. The book is written in a dense, scholarly style and assumes a certain level of knowledge of astrology and other occult practices. It is considered a classic of Renaissance occult literature and has been influential in the development of modern divination practices.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, by Henry Cornelius Agrippa.
