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).

Consulting the Oracle: Fool-Child Way
be spontaneous, open, trusting, playful
Be spontaneous. Let out what comes to mind when you see the card symbols and signs. Do not be afraid to be foolish. Do not censor your thoughts. Be open-minded. Play with your ideas. Trust your intuitions and thoughts.
question-and-answer reading
The Fool is symbolic of the child you are. Oracles are for the childlike, the inquisitive, for those who want to know and learn about themselves and life.
What do you want to know? Ask the oracle of tarot for an answer. Play with the cards face-down while focusing on your question. Then select a card, and you will have an answer. If the answer is not clear, choose another card-symbol that will clarify it. These answers may provoke other questions you can ask the cards. Tarot is an endless question-and-answer process, as is life.
You consult the oracle to receive answers for your uncertainties. But your questions are often vague and unformed. You are unsure of exactly what you want to know. The tarot helps you formulate your questions. It is as though you are experiencing the Fool-Child, the embryo, symbolizing the formless spirit coming into form.
The clearer the question, the more effective the answer. In forming your
questions, you are actually engaged in clarifying the answer. If you are consulting the tarot for others, part of your role is to help define their inquiries.
For example, all of us want to know about our lovelife. But what about it? What do we want to know? Who to love? How to love? Where to find love? We need to be specific with our questions, and ask many questions.
You may be unsure what can be asked of the tarot oracle. It will answer questions pertaining to any general or specific aspect of your inner personal life or external world. You can ask, How? Why? When? Where? Who? and What? It will give you answers about the past, present, and future. You can ask about certainties, probabilities, and possibilities. The tarot will respond to questions about shoulds and should nots, needs, requirements, and abilities. You can ask about means and ends, realities and potentials. Cosmic questions are allowed as are mundane ones. The tarot is an open forum for self-inquiry and discussion.
