The
Geomancy Group, in practicing, teaching and promoting
geomancy and geomantic practitioners in a manner consistent
with the highest standards of personal, social and spiritual
integrity, follows this code of ethical conduct. The
karmic implications of geomantic work are immense. With
high psychic involvement, karmic return is accelerated.
Furthermore, unethical practice mitigates against clear
divination and psychic connection.
A
practitioner, whose conduct is considered by a duly-appointed
council of peers to be in breach of this ethical code,
may have sanctions applied, up to and including termination
of membership.

Do No Harm.

Good Relationships with Clients
(a)
Treat every client politely and considerately.
(b)
Make sure that your personal beliefs do not prejudice
your interactions with your clients - do not allow your
views about a client’s lifestyle, culture, belief, race,
colour, gender, sexuality, age, social status or perceived
economic worth to prejudice the work that you perform
or recommend.
(c)
Adequately assess your clients needs and desires. Listen
to and respect their views, and allow them to be fully
involved in decisions about your work for them.
(d)
Recommend and perform only the treatment or services
that serve your client’s needs.
(e)
Explain your services to your clients in a way that
they can understand, and be satisfied that the client
has understood and agrees to what is proposed before
you begin.
(f)
Respect the right of your clients to decline your services
after these have been outlined and explained.
(g)
Recommend and advise additional or otherwise relevant
services or actions when necessary, including referring
to another practitioner or other professional.
3
Maintaining Trust with Clients and the Public
(a)
Always behave in an honest and trustworthy manner with
your clients and with the public.
(b)
Do not dowse or otherwise psychically inquire for information
about other people, their property, possessions or concerns
without their request or permission, unless it is clearly
in the interest of the highest common good to do so,
and do not make unsolicited comments about other people
or their concerns based on your position as a geomancer.
In the case of a person unable to represent themselves,
either through age, illness or disability, you may engage
at the request of or with the permission of a parent,
close family member, guardian or care-giver.
(c)
Only dowse or otherwise psychically inquire for information
that concerns you personally or that lies within an
area of public concern, unless you are asked or given
permission by clients or others to dowse either for
them personally or for groups or organisations of which
they are members. Be careful to restrict and focus your
inquiry to the legitimate needs and concerns of those
seeking your services.
(d)
Respect your client’s dignity and privacy, and do not
reveal your client’s identity without their prior permission.
(e)
Never improperly disclose or misuse confidential information
that you may discover or become privileged to in the
course of your practice.
(f)
You must not use your position to establish improper
personal relationships with other people.
(g)
You must not deliberately withhold relevant or appropriate
information or services from your clients.
4
Respecting Relationships with Colleagues
(a)
Always treat your colleagues fairly, be willing to consult
with them and be prepared to justify your actions to
them if requested. . Remember that we all see it differently.
(b)
Never discriminate unfairly against your colleagues,
or allow your views of their lifestyle, culture, belief,
race, colour, gender, sexuality, age, or social status
to prejudice your relationship with them.
(c)
You must not make any client doubt a colleague’s knowledge
or skills by making unnecessary or unsustainable comments
about them.
5
Good Performance
(a)
The Geomancy Group encourages you to keep your knowledge
and skills up to date.
(b)
Recognise (and work within) the limits of your competence.
Call in help if you find you are unable to do the
work yourself.
(c)
You are accountable for your geomantic actions, and
you need to be available to continue to work with
the space until it reaches a state of wholeness and
balance.
6
Providing Information About Your Services
(a)
When discussing or publicising your findings as a geomancer,
be responsible and considerate of the effects that such
information may have, both on any individuals concerned
and on public opinion generally. Avoid sensational or
misleading statements and bear in mind the likely accuracy
and completeness of your information.
(b)
If you publish or broadcast information about your services,
the information needs to be factual and verifiable.
Do not make claims about the comparative quality of
your services nor compare your services with those your
colleagues provide. For those whose work includes healing
or therapies of any kind do not, in any way, offer guarantees
of cures, or exploit client’s vulnerability or lack
of knowledge.
(c)
Do not put pressure on people to use a service, for
example by arousing fear for their present or future
health or well-being.
7
Legal Observance and Commercial Dealings
(a)
Observe and keep up to date with any laws and statutory
codes of practice which affect your work.
(b)
Be honest in financial and commercial matters relating
to your work as a geomancer.

Inform clients of your method of charging, estimated
fees and all additional costs that may apply before
you commence any work for them.
(e)
Do not put pressure on your clients to give or lend
money or their benefits to you or other people.
(f)
When taking part in discussions about selling goods
or services, declare any relevant financial or commercial
interest which you or your family might have in the
transaction.
8
Teaching and Training

to be aware of and understand geomancy and
related issues and to contribute to the education of
other geomancers.
