   As announced earlier, this blog will host an open space once a month (well,
   more  or  less!) to  field  questions  and  encourage discussion  among  my
   readers, and this is the week. All the standard rules apply - no profanity,
   no sales pitches, no trolling, no rudeness, no long screeds proclaiming the
   infallible truth of fill in the blank - but since there's no topic, nothing
   is off topic.

   Before we  go on,  I'm delighted to  announce that one  of my  few backlist
   titles  that has  been  out of  print  for  a while  is  now available  for
   preorder.  Earth Divination,  Earth Magic  was my  first book  on geomantic
   divination and magic; it's specifically oriented  to the Golden Dawn end of
   occultism, where my later book The Art and Practice of Geomancy is oriented
   toward  traditional  Renaissance  magical  practice;  and  it  contains  my
   translation  of  Pietro  d'Abano's  Modo Judicandi  Quaestiones  (A  Method
   for  Judging  Questions),  the  short geomantic  treatise  that  turned  my
   understanding of geomancy on its head and helped push the current geomantic
   revival into new (or, rather, old but forgotten) territory.

   Thanks to the enthusiastic folks at Aeon Books, it's on its way to print in
   an attractive new edition. Copies can be preordered here.

   With that said, have at it!
