Divination or prophecy based on Earth, geographical features, or geomancy; a rare variant of geomancy.
From geo- 'earth' + -mance (from Greek manteia 'divination'). Related to geomancy, an ancient divination practice. This spelling variant is archaic.
Geomancy—dividing Earth into a grid and interpreting patterns—influenced the development of feng shui and shows how ancient peoples tried to read meaning from the landscape itself!
