Geomancy and Joyeuse connection
From the [url=http://halo.bungie.net/forums/posts.aspx?postID=70585296] Joyeuse Formula Thread [/url] we know that Destiny's central character should resemble Charlemagne's in some way.
From the [url=http://www.bungie.net/en-US/View/community/Forum/Post?id=10737995] other geomancy thread [/url] we have a very strong connection to the seven layers of heaven myth
The Seven Layers of heaven myth was most notably used in Paradisio the third installment to Dante's the Divine comedy.
Each of the layers Dante travels through aligns with the order of the geomancy symbols
In the 5th layer Dante meets Cacciaguida, who warns of a future exile. and other religious warriors including Charlamagne)
This fifth layer is Mars: home to the warriors of the faith.
I think our research needs to focus on the Paradisio
-
According to my research - Charlemagne was responsible for alot of relgious wars, and is veiwed as the proto-crusader. Geomancy is in direct oppostion to relgion - especially Christrianity, becuase it was believed to orginate in the middle east, and even the Qu'ran has refernecs to it [indirect evidence only from Islamic dictionary only]. I think there will be crusade like undertones of relgious battles centered around lone cities like Jerselum or Saragossa from the crusades and the song of Roland respectfully. I just can't help but feel there is more to this, something we are missing. I still don't know where the "one of seven" hoodie symbol fits into this beyond perhaps the eighth layer of heaven. Things that I am chewing on - geomancy is one of seven forbidden arts. Dante's the paradisio mentions Charlemagne, and has the same order of levels to the geomancy figures.
