⭐ Reader reviews

Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Would buy from this store again.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. One of my better finds this year.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Hartmann’s revitalization of geomancy is a commendable effort to make archaic arts accessible through modern simplicity. The book succeeds in its goal of removing physical barriers, allowing practitioners to focus on the symbolic weight of planetary energies. However, it may not suit those who prefer the tactile, ritualistic engagement of casting actual earth or sticks. Readers looking for deep historical critique or philosophical treatises might find the practical focus too utilitarian. It is best appreciated by diviners who value efficiency and clear, actionable guidance over elaborate ceremonial contexts, offering a straightforward path to insight without the bloat of traditionalist complexity.
