“Often called astrology’s sister discipline, ilm al-raml, or the knowledge of the sands, is the practice of divining answers through a binary system of lines and dots which produce a pattern of sixteen figures. Known as “geomancy” in the West in part due to Hugh’s translation, ilm al-raml is one of the oldest divinations in the Islamic world, deriving originally from Africa. According to Islamic sources, the knowledge of geomancy was revealed by the angel Jibra’il to the Prophet Idris (AS), making it one of the Islamic hermetic arts alongside medicine, alchemy, magic, and astrology. After Idris, geomancy is frequently associated with the Prophet Daniel and the Berber sage Zanati, likely reflecting its origins.” -Dr. Ali A. Olomi
COMING SOON IN APRIL 2026
I am currently gearing up to finally offer apprentice-level geomancy very soon. I just need to think more about how to price it and whether I want to do it as a live session or just send a short video. Although I am a newer student in this system of divination, in addition to giving a Yes or No, I will also be able to pull out specific layers from the tableau that surround and inform the situation at hand that will be useful.
If you wish to get a geomancy reading, just email me your question:
