An illustrated guide to the ancient holistic philosophy of geomancy. Geomancy means to "divine the earth spirit" and was widely practised in Europe until the late 1700s, until the dawn of the industrial age. Nigel Pennick's extraordinary book traces the growth of this ancient craft through folklore, ethnography, myth, architecture, and esoteric traditions. It is the only book in print that covers all the disciplines comprising geomancy. Published in 1979
