WALKING IN THE WOODS: A Brief Guide to Observational Geomancy
Tuesday, March 28th, 2006By Reverend Vincent Bridges
All too often, our theoretical discussions of Geomancy leave the impression that this is something best left to professionals. However, by being a little observant anyone can become a solid, practical geomancer. You don’t even need to dowse or know how to read a map. Just keep your eyes open on your next walk in the woods and try these simple experiments and observations.
First, walk a few yards off the path into the woods. Roughly face east and just relax. Feel the forest around you. Turn slowly to the north, your left, and stop when you see one of the following: 1) a tree with multiple trunks 2) a clump of unusually twisted trees or 3) a tree with an unnatural growth pattern of any kind.
If you turn about a quarter to the left before seeing one of the above, you are in an energy-rich geomantic area. Turning less than a quarter is very energy-rich. Half-way is normal energy patterning and three-quarters suggests that the area is energy-poor. These are rough estimates, but reliable as a guide. Continue through a complete turn, noting the above in each quadrant.
