Geomantic

/ˌdʒiːoʊˈmæntɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or using geomancy, the practice of divination based on earth features, geographical patterns, or marks on the ground.

Etymology

Derived from 'geomant' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic' (Greek '-ikos'). This form developed in medieval European languages as geomancy became more established as a formal divination system.

Kelly Says

Medieval scholars took geomantic divination so seriously they created entire mathematical systems around it—it was like the ancient world's data analysis meets mysticism!
