The calendar material in this expanded edition of Walk Like An
Egyptian provides further insight into the mind of the ancient
world, a glimpse into a world in which every element of reality was
a manifestation of the divine and the cosmic, a time in which even
the counting of days and months into years was a mystery of divine
proportions. The calendar of ancient Egypt is older than astrology.
The Egyptian calendar itself is almost forgotten, yet it is the
direct ancestor of the Western calendar in use today. The ancient
Egyptians were keenly focused on the concept of life as a journey
through time, and the calendar was their map. In Walk Like An
Egyptian, you will find one of the world's oldest guides to
self-navigation in an easy-to-use format, a daily horoscope from
the dawn of history. Each season, month and day is listed with its

night. complete guide to the Egyptian year, a horoscope unlike any
other available in the modern world. The earlier editions of Walk
Like An Egyptian brought the concepts of ancient Egyptian religion
and philosophy into the context of the modern world. Readers around
the globe found the once-obscure ideas of ancient wisdom
interpreted as profound contemplations of the reality of human
nature. Many familiar names in the ancient pantheon were revealed
in modern terms, such as: Osiris, the divine and immortal portion
of each human's soul clothed in mortal flesh; Re, the divine light
of consciousness in the mind; Horus, who is the paradox of the
universal nature of each soul's unique identity; Isis, bonding
force of the soul; Thoth, representing the power of human thought
and intellect, and more. The success of Walk Like An Egyptian led
to Wheeler's collaboration with Diana Janeen Pierce, who had
assembled a daily calendar of ancient Egyptian ceremonies, rituals
and festivals. difficult Cairo Calendar Papyri, one of the few
surviving documents detailing the system by which Egyptians
organized their daily lives. Wheeler's accompanying interpretation
of the Egyptian cosmos makes a lively counterpart to the horoscope,
clarifying the often confusing material. Together, Wheeler and
Pierce provide a modern evaluation of how to walk like an Egyptian,
attuned to eternity in your daily life and guided by eternal
principles.
In the Divine Comedy Dante tells the story of a pilgrim (himself)
who is guided through the realms of the dead - Hell, Purgatory and
Paradise - and the lessons about fortune and destiny that he learns
along the way. This medieval work is of great interest to modern
astrologers. Although astrologers, along with diviners and
magicians, were placed in Hell, Dante's great poem is full of
astrology; the poem's redemptive journey contains frequent
references to the four elements, the four angles formed by the
Ascendant and Meridian, and the planets and stars of astrology.
This book offers the reader an understanding of Dante's vast
cosmology within the poem's moral, spiritual and dramatic contexts;
it is an especially valuable resource for those interested in the
intersection of cosmology or astrology and spirituality. The final
section of this book explores Inferno 20 and discusses the
relationship of astrological practice to that of divination, magic,
and prophecy. We see that Dante's astrology is an expression of
nature (and super-nature) that is ordered but subject to change,
and, in the earthly realm, subject to decline and the need for
regeneration. There are specific philosophical traditions
underpinning The Divine Comedy's astrology - are these traditions
also within modern astrology? We find that astrology itself, like
Dante's great poem, also dwells between the turnings of personal
Fortune and the purposeful universe of Providence.

In a work of profound interest to students of Christianity and
astrology alike, E.W. Bullinger uses astronomy, celestial charts,
and quotations from the Bible to make his case for the existence of
God's Word within the movements and configurations of the stars
themselves. Beginning with proof in Psalm 19 that "the Creator both
numbered as well as named the stars of heaven," Bullinger
interprets each of the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac as they relate to
biblical prophecy, arriving at some interesting-and
controversial-conclusions. British clergyman ETHELBERT WILLIAM
BULLINGER (1837-1913) was one of the most respected Bible scholars
of the 19th century. He is author of numerous works including
Commentary on Revelation, Great Cloud of Witnesses, and How to
Enjoy the Bible.
