16-Point Pink Star with Wide Points by Ann

5 1

Each point involves 9 different folds. With 16 points...that's 144 folds to make this intricate window star! This star measures approximately 8 inches in diameter. Please see my Flickr profile for the link to my Etsy shop.

Weird Islamic stellation by anselm23

2

So this is one of the stellations I'm experimenting with for a geomantic mandala. It's unicursal— meaning a single thread or line from beginning to end is implied by the ribbon lining the edge of each point — and the line bounces through a rough fourfold symmetry, making it possible to use for an elemental-and-subelemental ordering of the geomantic signs.

But.

It doesn't seem likely that this form will uncover a hidden calendar related to the zodiac. There's no suitable pattern or layout for the geomantic signs which puts their zodiacal relationships in any useful order. I haven't compared these forms with the stabile/mobile relationship, but no correlation seems likely.

So, I'm left with this mess in the left-hand side of my mandala —

• three of the Air signs are stabile, one is mobile — so they won't balance.

• three of the Water signs are mobile, so they won't balance.

• to have one of the elements at each "cardinal point", means some arrangement that begins from here.

Geomancy mandala: the images of the characters by anselm23

I hit a groove on this project, which is a nice way of saying, "i want it complete and off my desk."

Here are three of the images of the characters. I have yet to outline Populus (Pobl in the system I usually work in), Puella (Merch or girl), And Caput Draconis (or Pen y Ddraig). They're the hardest for me to draw well — Populus because there has to be a crowd of people, and people are hard; caput draconis because faces of imaginary animals are hard; and Puella — because drawing a sexy girl is harder than it sounds...

I think I'll leave those three until morning, and then decide if I'm going to color it; or if I am done with it. Do you have an opinion? Let me know!?

Still some research left to do on this, particularly the shorthand symbols of alchemy. But the two outer rings — of fixed stars and alchemical procedures — are done (with the exception of Polaris/Fomalhaut {not sure which star to use yet, or to leave it blank} in the upper right). Now, for the harder part: creating a visual of each geomantic figure in each roundel in each point of the star...

Here we go — an overview of the whole image, minus the missing bits: puella, caput draconis, and populus (blank rings), and Polaris/Fomalhaut in the upper right. Not sure what to do about the empty triangle just in from there. Suggestions?

Fwd: Geomancy mandala by anselm23

I like this particular star, because — when oriented to the page — it consists of two overlapping and off-kilter eight-pointed stars. These could represent the Stabile and Mobile dichotomy. Except because not all four Water signs, say, belong to the Stabile group, there's no easy way to represent their orientation to that polarity... unless there's a Celtic/Islamic style knotwork system that can join them across groupings. Worth thinking on.

So, here's a layout for a possible geomantic mandala, using an Islamic-ish knotwork star to reflect the signs round and about the mandala. I haven't compared this against elements or zodiac yet, but there may be something workable here.

These two shapes strike me as the most appropriate for a geomantic mandala. There's still work to be done, sorting out //where// and //how// data is recorded and projected to the observer/meditator. But at least the matter of organizing by stability or element could be settled in the composition of the list.

Geomancy mandala by anselm23

Because this project occupies so much of my desk in terms of physical size, I've not been able to work on this project for a month or so. But, I was able to add all of the alchemical labels, eight of the alchemical images in line-work today, and a few of the fixed stars.

The whole project is coming along!

Or, a pair of eight-pointed stars can be overlapped, resulting in more elegant kite-shapes with more depth. Here, the underlying tension would have to be between the Mobile and Stabile signs.

For @polyphanes: mandala layouts by anselm23

Regarding a geomantic emblem or mandala... continued...

One possibility is to offset four squares, for the four Elements, and create sixteen kite shapes or cells for the sixteen geomantic signs.

But, each of these "cells" is relatively small, and generates a lot of smaller, awkward frames around itself.

This is what I needed the big compass for. It could have been even slightly more bigger, actually.

Geomantic mandala: planning chart by anselm23

I'm not particularly happy with any of the layouts or lists of the geomantic figures I've found so far. Accordingly, I'm going to have to try out a whole lot of versions of the list to find one that looks good in two overlapping eight pointed stars. And that likely means filling in a lot of photocopied sheets.

Sheets something like this one.

You'll be able to play along when the scanner at school is fixed again. And school is over for summer.

Fwd: Geomantic Mandala: one possibility by anselm23

One possibility is to unite the four kites of each Element by an "unbroken thread" running through the star — a thread at genuine variance with the underlying structure of the star itself in terms of geometric construction.

Here, red and blue lines show those "unbroken thread" possibilities for this design.
