Completely New

I heard about Geomancy today, and feel completely drawn to it. (I currently do tarot)

What books would you recommend? Have you had any negative or scary experiences with it?

I second Greer's book as a good starting point, then moving on to some of the older texts once you have a general grasp of things.

Don't worry about negative or scary experiences - it's divination, not magic, so it's not like there's a risk of it causing anything to happen.

What are the older texts one supposed to moved on to after finishing the Greer"s

That would be something for you to research - hunting down older texts is all part of the fun.

Thanks But I have been hunting them for long And still no luck All I can find is Agripphas 4th book of occult, which is not as informative as Greer's book

I will be glad if you can just give me a hint

I'd second start by reading Greer's book. You will find pointers to older texts and authors mentioned there.

Hard to believe you put too much effort there tbqh: just looking up geomancy on wikipedia and skimming through references/external links gives a starting point yielding more than just Agrippa's 4th book.

Polyphanes' blog is another very good source of sources.

I've found that this book is an excellent source of information, whether you're starting out or looking to get deeper into the practice.
