I am astonished you aren't claiming geomancy came from the Buddhists

Maybe, we should just let the place go to shit if there's no reason to create a home. It's so depressing to want to plant flowers in the garden! Why don't I just kill myself instead? In fact, building a home and hearth is the highest spiritual calling. It is Geomancy: a way of serving the Earth Mother. All traditional cultures have their own system of natural geomancy. There are many solutions that nature has provided in the way of housing, such as cocoons, shells, webs, nests and dens, which are but a few examples of natural geomancy. Thus, geomancy is inherent and vital to life survival. In human society, geomancy is a part of our animal heritage and the result of continuing improvement in human dwelling construction. People have always developed shelters and homes in concert with nature. Tree houses, caves, cliff dwellings, and commanding views are some examples of universal geomancy. Geomancy is at least half a million years old, dating from early Homo Sapiens. Images of 'Magna Mater' dating from 30,000 BCE were placed in small wall recesses in homes, in order to insure vitality and abundance. Geomancy can be defined as 'The skillfull use of the best available knowledge in order to create the *most suitable conditions* for living and working' (T. Lin Yun). Geomancy involves the awareness of how the ways of construction, orientation, and placement affect our environment and thus our own daily activities and relations.
