Geomancy is a form of divination that interprets markings on the ground or patterns formed by tossing soil or sand. Practitioners create a series of random lines or dots, which are then analyzed to provide insights or predictions about the future. This method has roots in various cultures and is often associated with African and Arabic traditions. The practice involves generating a geomantic figure, typically composed of four lines, which can be transformed into a series of symbols. These symbols are then interpreted according to established meanings, allowing the geomancer to offer guidance or answers to specific questions.
