A simple program for doing geomancy readings, building ascii geomantic charts, reading basic information on each geomantic figure and combining any two figures together.
You can install this geomancer by downloading a pre-compiled binary or by running the following command if you have Nim and Nimble installed:
nimble install geomancer
You can get a random geomancy reading with
the command geomancer -c/--chart which will give
you a shield chart like this one
$ geomancer --chart

You can get an additional house chart for
more detailed readings by adding the -h/--house
option.

If you prefer generating the four mothers
with more traditional methods or would like
to generate an ascii chart for an existing
reading then use --build/-b option to input
the four mothers. You will need to wrap
Caput/Cauda Draconis and Fortuna Major/Minor
in quotes.
$ geomancer -cb "Caput Draconis" Via Puer Albus

Alternatively, you can use a minimalist notation
for each figure using the . and : characters.
$ geomancer -c --build .:.. :.:. :..: :::.

You can combine any two figures together with the -s/--sum
command.
$ geomancer --sum ::.: ..:.

Finally, you get basic information on any figure with
the -i/--info command.
$ geomancer info Carcer
