GEOMANCY Where’s Your Place of Power?
Divination through geography, location, or placement is an oracular art that has been obscured by the obvious. Where we live is a direct sign of our personality. We are drawn to a particular topography and environment because it matches our own energies.
We are characterized by where we live. Witness the stereotypes: “city slicker,” “small town boy,” “lounge lizard,” “couch potato,” “beach bum,” “valley girl,” and “mountain man.” We describe our lot in life by metaphors of geography such as “reached a plateau,” “on top of the mountain,” “on the edge,” “in no-man’s land.” Sometimes we are “in the doghouse,” or perhaps we have come “out of the closet.” Some of us are pretty “far out” while others have just “crawled out from under a rock.”
The Voyager oracle can tell us where we have come from and where we belong for the optimum tapping of our inner wealth. Voyager cards take us to caves, mountains, valleys, canyons, oceans, lakes, meadows, forests, jungles, deserts, swamps, north, south, east, and west, offices, homes, churches, in cars, on surfboards, on roller coasters, in jail, in coliseums, and on all the continents and worlds and galaxies beyond.
Voyager is a “geography of the psyche.” Every place on and off the earth is associated with a particular human quality. By traveling through the guided imagery of Voyager’s “roadmap of consciousness,” you journey through the structure of your own body geography and its corresponding states of consciousness and energy. You find your power place, a reflection of your own inner strength. A heart person discovers his or her emotional radiance amidst a garland of flowers in Hawaii (Ace of Cups—Ecstasy). A hermit type finds his or her self-sufficiency in the desert and the cave (Hermit Card). A nurturer discovers his or her ability to grow in an orchard of fruit trees (Three of Worlds—Nurturing). A person who seeks greater creativity can find it by dancing on the edge (Devil’s Play). A mental person can find their genius up in the air, high above on a hilltop or in a room with a view (Sage of Crystals—Knower).
