[edit] How old are geomantic figures?

The reason I ask: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Braille#Braille_.27the_world.27s_first_binary_character_encoding.27.3F Etaonsh 05:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Not recent, anyway - I've found a partial answer myself: http://www.princeton.edu/~ezb/geomancy/figures.html Etaonsh 05:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I just redirected all of the stubs back here and I think I got all the double redirects also. No one had previously worked on those stubs at all since March. If left as stubs, having their own pages, they would have been deleted. I added them here since there wasnt alot of info on this page either, but now there is.

[edit] Formatting suggestion

I'm not sure if it would be better or worse, but perhaps each figure could have bullets instead of paragraphs to describe them. Example:

Via (this would be the heading)
Name: Latin for "road"
Depicts/resembles: Road or path.
Fortune: Usually bad, but good with concerns of roads, travels, or journeys.
Outcome: Neutral, unless change by itself infers a positive or negative result.
Associated with: Cancer and Moon
Notes: All the elements in Via are active, and as such the figure indicates 'change' more than any other figure.

i think that simple images would be much better than text-bsed representations Blueaster 20:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
