Synopsis "art and practice of geomancy,divination, magic, and earth wisdom of the renaissance"

Have you ever lost an important object? Are you taking on a new job? Looking for buried treasure? The Art and Practice of Geomancy teaches readers how to divine the answers to life's everyday questions about health, luck, new jobs, and love, as well as those less mundane tasks such as finding buried treasure, predicting the weather, being released from prison, and identifying secret enemies. Greer delivers to readers an ancient system of divination in an easytouse form requiring little more than a pen and a piece of paper. Using a system of counting odd and even numbers--from a deck of cards, a roll of the dice, or even by hitting sand or dirt with a stick to generate patterns--readers learn how to cast their own geomantic chart. And for those who wish to delve further, he offers exercises for geomantic meditation and ritual magic. The Art and Practice of Geomancy will appeal to pagans, followers of the Western Mystery tradition, scholars of folk magic and divination, and anyone who wants to take their past, present, and future into their own hands.

Nacido en el austero pueblo naval de Bremerton, Washington, y criado en los suburbios del sur de Seattle, comencé a escribir casi en cuanto aprendí a sostener un lápiz. La máxima del editor de ciencia ficción George Scithers, que decía que todos los aspirantes a escritores tienen un millón de palabras de mala prosa y que tienen que escribirla, resume bastante bien las dos décadas transcurridas entre mi primer intento serio de escribir un libro y mi primer libro publicado, "Senderos de Sabiduría", publicado en 1996. Actualmente vivo en Cumberland, Maryland, con mi esposa Sara; soy presidente —Gran Archidruida es el título oficial— de la Antigua Orden de Druidas de América (AODA), una orden druida fundada en 1912; y escribo en media docena de campos de no ficción, casi todos centrados en el resurgimiento de ideas, perspectivas y tradiciones prácticas olvidadas del basurero de la historia.
