Design and Artwork
"Geomantic Visions" by James R. Eads is a beautifully designed set of divination coins that brings an innovative tactile experience to the ancient practice of geomancy. The set includes 20 gold-plated zinc alloy coins, each double-sided and meticulously crafted. Sixteen of these coins feature geomantic figures on one side and a 3D image of the corresponding being on the other, inspired by the Suit of Beings from the Cosma Visions Oracle. The remaining four smaller coins represent the geomantic elements of fire, air, water, and earth, with each side depicting either a single or double element. The presentation of the set is enhanced by the box's metallic gold emblem and the inclusion of a comprehensive 100-page full-color booklet that serves as a guide for beginners in geomancy.
Use and Functionality
Geomantic Visions offers an alternative approach to traditional geomancy, which typically uses the earth as a canvas. The tactile nature of the coins allows users to cast and interpret geomantic readings in a more accessible and engaging way. The coins' design facilitates an intuitive connection with the symbols and elements, making the set a valuable tool for both beginners and seasoned practitioners of divination.
User Experience
Users of Geomantic Visions can expect an enriching and immersive divination experience. The high-quality materials and intricate design of the coins provide a sense of luxury and depth to the practice. The accompanying booklet serves as an informative and easy-to-understand guide, making the set suitable for those new to geomancy as well as experienced diviners looking for a novel method of practice.
