The Principles of Astrological Geomancy — Franz Hartmann (1889)

The Principles of Astrological Geomancy is Franz Hartmann’s practical study of divination by punctuation, presented according to the methods associated with Cornelius Agrippa and other early authorities.

Physical edition: The Holographic Pagan Press edition is a handmade softcover book, not a hardcover.

Originally published in 1889, the work explains the planetary and zodiacal correspondences of the sixteen geomantic figures, the preparation and construction of a geomantic chart, the interpretation of figures according to their positions, and both astrological and astronomical methods of geomancy.

The volume also includes worked examples and an extensive appendix containing 2,048 answers to questions, making it both an introduction to the symbolic system and a functional manual for consultation.

This Holographic Pagan Press edition has been newly restored and prepared for modern readers. The period cover design has been reconstructed and presented in a handmade black tape-bound 8.5 × 11-inch format.

Each physical copy is printed, assembled, and finished by hand.

This is a newly prepared Holographic Pagan Press edition and not an original antique copy.

Handmade edition note: Holographic Pagan Press editions are produced, assembled, and finished by hand in small batches. As a result, minute variations may occur between individual copies, including slight differences in materials, color, binding, trimming, placement, or hand-applied details. Materials may also vary slightly according to availability. We make every effort to preserve the intended design, character, and quality of each edition while allowing for the natural variations inherent in handmade bookmaking.
