Geomancy

Why Ancient Inquiry uses this citation here

Renaissance primary source; chapter 57 classifies geomancy among elemental divinations

What this usage does not establish

Bibliographic verification does not by itself establish that the full text was read.
Open topic

Topics citing it and claims using it

Supporting citation for public claim

Medieval Islamic and Renaissance records document geomancy as a formal divination tradition; those records do not establish a global ancient earth-energy grid.

Geomancy is real as a historical divination practice. Its strongest evidence lies in medieval Arabic, Latin, and Renaissance occult sources. Modern earth-energy and ley-line uses should be treated as later expansions, not as proof of ancient planetary engineering.
Open claim topic
Supporting citation for public claim

The listed medieval and Renaissance sources document divination; they do not demonstrate that ancient builders used geomancy to place sacred sites.

Answer / theory: Some cultures used sacred landscape principles, but medieval geomancy itself is mainly divinatory. Evidence level: Mixed Evidence.
