Thank you. Hi, Yes, I use geomancy regularly. I find it a clear system of divination, with the added advantage that it is easy to learn by heart and you can use it without any special attributes. To determine my sixteem start- values, I draw a 4 by 4 grid on paper, put a pen in the middle and with eyes closed randomly scratch around that middle point. Than I count the number of crossings in every square of the grid. This works well, and there's almost always pen and paper at hand. As to assigning the tetragrams to the houses, I put the mothers in houses 1, 4, 7 and 10, the daughters in 2, 5, 8 and 11 and the cousins in 3, 6, 9 and 12. Have you been using geomancy for long now? It seems very hard to find anyone on the net who uses geomancy, it's not very popular. But then again it's not very well known...
