GEOMANCY (from Greek earth-divination, possibly from earlier Arabic, science of the sand)
Originally, geomancy was divination by reading patterns in handfuls of sand or rock tossed onto the ground. Geomancy now includes a variety of ways that supposed energy, power, or secret knowledge (gnosis) may be the channeled through “sacred spaces.” Geomancy reflects a mystical worldview.

Jesus is not limited to “sacred spaces”: “Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew18:20).
