Geomancy is common in Southeast Asia. The imaginative association of disparate spatial and temporal coordinates allows discourses to emerge in which problems that cannot be resolved in the real world may be 'thought' through geomantic images and symbols. The Hindu-Buddhist cosmographies of Southeast Asia form a framework within which the 'geomancies' of minority peoples take place. By modifying the relations of the real world, or depicting them in a timeless way, geomancy like poetry may allow changes to be experienced at a conceptual level before they are introduced into pragmatic affairs, or act against suck changes being brought about
