In the litany of the Prayer of the Gnomes, the Invisible King beneath the Earth plants the marvelous Seed of the Stars in the Kingdom of Gems and is invoked by the Axis of the Lodestone which passes through the centre of the Earth. Never withholding the wages of his workforce, this Invisible King blesses his worshippers with the great wealth of his vaults: the glittering crystals and the seven metals which flow through the veins of the planet. The World Beneath the World births a treasury of stones.

In this class, professional diviner and consultant sorcerer Dr Alexander Cummins will take us through sixteen of these mineral allies which instantiate, cohere, and direct the virtues and vehemences of the Sixteen Figures of geomancy. Immaterial spirits and historical letterings alike inform this expedition as figure and crystal formation cross-pollinate our comprehensions in a pedagogy of what glitters out of the dark, what is drawn from the capillaries of mountain and quarry, and especially what is brought to the light and what is yet whispered from the cave's mouth…

A geomantic lapidary introduction to crystal magic and their spirits, this class will explore the occult virtues of geological materia in operative geomantic magic. It will equip geomancers with additional and especially grounded engagements with mineral medicines to remedy and empower. Combining careful study of medieval lapidaries with an equally strict survey of contemporary crystal lore, and informed by Dr Cummins' professional practice working alongside the spirits of this worldly oracle, this class promises to inform and edify practitioners with the practical and bejeweled tools and techniques of geomantic sorcery.

“Necromancer (necromantes) he that practises that wicked Art, a Master of the Black Art, one that seeks to the dead; or consults with Satan in the shape of a dead man. The Hebrews describe him thus; he made himself hungry, and then lodged among the Graves, that the dead might come to him in a dream, and make known to him that which he asked, &c. Others there were that clad themselves with cloathes for that purpose, and spoke certain words, burned Incense, and slept by themselves, that such a dead person might come and talk with them in a dream.”
- Thomas Blount, Glossographia (London, 1661)
