Arabic geomancy is a type of geomantic divination which involves interpreting a series of figures formed by a randomized process that involves recursion, followed by analyzing them, often augmented with astrological interpretations.[1] Geomancy was also thought by figures such as Richard II to be a greater discipline that included philosophy, science, and alchemic elements.[2]
