From the rich soils of the Earth grow potent plant allies. Reaching up with verdant fingers to meet the shining Sun and reflecting Moon alike, we may read the virtues and vices of the Sixteen Figures of geomancy upon their petalled palms. With care, attention, and respect we may come to understand both Flora and Figure. Indeed, each may bring us new insights and into more intimate relationship with the other: geomantic figures speaking up on behalf of their botanical bosom companions rooted in their grounds, and the actions and effects of seed, leaf, flower and fruit instantiating the geomantic virtues of their patron figures.

Much of the materia magica with which we might work geomantic magic comes simply from the zodiacal lists corresponded to the geomantic figures. However, in this class diviner and consultant sorcerer Dr Alexander Cummins will share insights into the identities, potencies, and utilities of sixteen botanicals which his professional and personal practice with the oracle, history, and spirits of geomancy have established as especially expressing the powers of the Sixteen Figures.

Mixing elemental, planetary and even zodiacal astrological botany and a variety of grimoiric and folk magical applications with expressly geomantic ingredients and sympathies, this class offers express tutelage on how one might operatively ensorcell with the green-craft of the Sixteen Figures.
