Geomancy a complete user's guide
On 7-7-2012 Bungie gave us these seven symbols. The community has sense linked to an ancient art called geomancy.
Geomancy has 16 runes or symbols [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Geomantic_figures.svg] 16 geomantic figures[/url]

There are a number of ways to interpret these symbols:
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomancy] Geomanctic Charts[/url] basically involve adding the symbols together using their binary to get one final symbol.
[url=http://i.imgur.com/4abvJ.jpg] Seven layers of Heaven Myth [/url]. Props to user dont pass gass for finding this connection.
[url=http://www.britannia.com/wonder/geomancy.html] Fung Shui or Ley Lines [/url] I think this may help us unlock some easter eggs once the game is actually released.
Also interesting to note, the one of seven winners received hoodies showing [url=http://misriahsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/oneofseven_jacket.jpg?w=584&h=438] One of Seven Hoodie [/url] This mysterious symbol which is geomantic looking but does not fit any of the 16 original runes.

I was looking at a thread on Bungie.old and one of the users had that image as his avatar. Link to user.

Okay this has the potential to be HUGE! On bungie day the one of seven memebers avatars were automatically updated to one of the geomancy symbols (this has never been confirmed although hotly debated - I was there during the chaos so I am trusting my gut) The argument was that each one of seven memember had one of the geomancy symbols automatically. If this is an avatar of one the winners its importance is HUGE! If this is an avatar of another memember my question then becomes was this avatar available to all of us? and why is it different from the orginal seven symbols given to us.
