The seven subtle bodies described in Theosophy can be seen not as separate shells stacked upon each other, but as luminous states of awareness interpenetrating in graded densities, each one enfolding the next like waves of the same sea. They act much like holographic projections in which every point contains the total image, every fragment the memory of the whole. In this way, the human being may be understood as a living hologram of the cosmos, a radiant node within the grea

I have added a breakdown of Via in the first astrological house, as a follow up on my original post on Via, in order to show what can be done with Geomancy, if you are willing to work with it through an astrological lens. As a framer for this, I have to thank Nick Farrell, who 30 years ago, first sent me a copy of Christopher Cattan’s work, translated from the French By Francis Sparry, written in the 16 th  century. This was one of the primary books Mather’s drew his geomanti

Geomantic figures are the fundamental symbols of the Western divinatory system known as Geomancy, a complex synthesis of number, element, planet, and form, each expressed through a tetradic pattern of single and double points. At their simplest, these figures are binary arrangements, four lines of either one or two marks, yet within this apparent simplicity lies a profound symbolic architecture. Each figure represents a unique configuration of elemental and planetary forces,

In recent years, modern physics has begun to describe the universe in ways that echo the intuitions of Hermetic philosophy. The holographic theory proposed by David Bohm and Karl Pribram, and later popularized by Michael Talbot, presents the cosmos not as a machine of separate parts, but as an indivisible field where each fragment contains the totality of the whole. To the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, founded in the late nineteenth century, this would have seemed a con
