There are, of course, literally hundreds of methods of divination that are available to the aspiring
magician, but, as has previously been remarked, there is a tendency for the beginner in practical
occultism to become airy-fairy, to retreat from the world of matter into an astral never-never land of
woolly pseudo-idealism. To counteract this tendency it is desirable that the mode of ritual divination
employed by you should be as 'earthy' as possible; ritual geomancy, the application of certain
elements of astrological techniques to physical earth instead of to the planets and the constellations, is
ideal for this purpose.
Theoretically geomancy is carried out by the occultist in collaboration with the 'Gnomes', in other
words the elemental spirits of Earth; whether you choose to regard these beings as objective entities or
as parts of your own unconscious mind is, of course, entirely up to you - in either case it makes no
difference to the methods employed or the results obtained.
