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] These Symbols Translated are as follows [quote] Picture: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Geomantic_via.svg] Symbol 1[/url] Latin Name: Via English Translation: The way Planet Correlation: Moon Astrological Correlation: Cancer Binary: 1111 Binary Translation: 15 Binary Translation to alpha: O [/quote] [quote] Picture: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c5/Geomantic_conjunctio.svg]Symbol 2 [/url] Latin Name: Conjunctio English Translation: Conjunction Planet Correlation: Mercury Astrological Correlation: Virgo Binary:0110 Binary Translation: 6 Binary Translation to alpha: F [/quote] [quote] Picture: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Geomantic_amissio.svg]Symbol 3[/url] Latin Name: Amissio English Translation: Loss Planet Correlation: Venus Astrological Correlation: Taurus Binary:1010 Binary Translation: 10 Binary Translation to alpha:J [/quote] [quote] Picture: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Geomantic_fortunaminor.svg] Symbol 4 [/url] Latin Name: Fortuna Minor English Translation: The Lesser Fortune Planet Correlation: Sun Astrological Correlation:Leo Binary:1100 Binary Translation: 12 Binary Translation to alpha: L [/quote] [quote] Picture: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/Geomantic_rubeus.svg] Symbol 5[/url] Latin Name: Rubeus English Translation: Red Planet Correlation: Mars Astrological Correlation: Scorpio Binary:0100 Binary Translation: 4 Binary Translation to alpha: D [/quote] [quote] Picture: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/Geomantic_laetitia.svg] Symbol 6[/url] Latin Name: Laetitia English Translation: Joy Planet Correlation: Jupiter Astrological Correlation: Pisces Binary:1000 Binary Translation: 8 Binary Translation to alpha: H [/quote] [quote] Picture: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Geomantic_carcer.svg] Symbol 7 [/url] Latin Name: Carcer English Translation: The Prison Planet Correlation: Saturn Astrological Correlation: Capricorn Binary: 1001 Binary Translation: 9 Binary Translation to alpha: I [/quote] 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://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 also gave thought this on dont pass gass's thread. The story about the seven layers of heaven, each layer/world has a nation, only one nation, and destiny is set in the last city on earth. Meaning the only nation on the planet, this therefore connects with the the myth and could be one of the 7 planets (layers) with only one nation. So we could also see the other 6 planets (layers) in the game that only has one city remaining (one nation). This definitely ties in with the seven layers of heaven myth as each layer has[b] A[/b] nation and our planet in destiny only has one city left.
