History and ancient astrology
STONEHENGE - The Marriage of the Sun and Moon
(1 vote)"It is well established, because it is objectively true, that the axis of Stonehenge aligns approximately to the midsummer rising sun azimuth. In addition, also objectively true, the station stone rectangle is constructed perpendicular to the axis and has a ratio of 5:12. In Megalithic yards, this is 40:96, i.e. the units of the rectangle's ratio are expressed in 8 MY 'quanta'. " |
THE RISE AND FALL OF HERMETIC ASTROLOGY
(1 vote)"On the evening of the 11th of November 1572, the eccentric and brilliant Danish nobleman Tycho de Brahe walked from his laboratory to a nearby abbey to eat his evening meal and found himself grappling with the unthinkable. Just past the northern constellation of Cassiopeia, blazing with stupefying brightness, hung an amazing new star. In the following months this new light--which burned so brightly that those with decent vision could see it during daylight hours--was contemplated with both wonderment and consternation. " |

Ancient festivals and the four seasons
"This is about the cycle of the year. To move into an inner affinity with it brings us closer to the power behind nature and gives us new creative potential. For the energy-cycle of the year is not just a calendrical affair: it is a cycle of growth and consolidation fundamental to our very existence. Neither is it just a matter of changes in the availability of heat and light: it is a cycle of subtle energy with a marked effect in our own lives, participating in the breathing of Mother Earth. For we are as nits on her skin, and need to transform our lives from being parasitic to participatory. And observing the ancient festivals is one small way of doing this, an inner basis on which we can move into our role as gardeners of the planet." |

The History of Astrology -- Another View
"The material presented here originally was an introduction that I wrote to a volume of Project Hindsight translations called "The Record of the Early Sages in Ancient Greek." It consisted of fragments and quotations that either were directly from the oldest sources in Middle Eastern and Western astrology, or were paraphrases of material that *derived from these sources" |
