Or of course, the practice of Geomancy might have survived in a similar form from the time of Jesus to when Regardie heard about it. I say "similar" guardedly, because although modern scholarship recognises that Divination using the 16 Geomantic figures as found in "The Golden Dawn", "Three Books of Occult Philosophy" etc dates back to great antiquity and to the Middle East, details like the meanings of the individual figures has changed over the course of time.
