In Mazzaroth; or The constellations, originally published in 1862,
19th-century English linguist and scholar FRANCES ROLLESTON
(1781-1864) presents readers with her theory of the gospel in the
stars. Rolleston believed that through the ancient names for the
stars, one could discover the oldest knowledge transmitted from God
to man: the method of man's redemption and the coming of the Jewish
messiah. Mentioned in the book of Job, the Mazzaroth is generally
believed to be the signs of zodiac. By passing through each sign, a
person with a full understanding of the constellations and their
meanings can interpret God's message. Rolleston painstakingly
provides readers with evidence, she claims, that the signs of the
zodiac are an allegory for the New Testament. Through Egyptian
hieroglyphs, Assyrian writings, and even the writings in ancient
Mexico, she constructs a system of symbols and metaphors all of
which attest to a singular meaning to the arrangement of the
constellations. Students of the occult and readers with an interest
in astrology will find this an entertaining read.

With a chapter devoted to each star sign, and featuring entertaining extracts and poetry by classic writers, there’s much to learn and entertain here about books, poetry and astrology, guided by Charlie Castelletti’s witty and expert commentary running through the book.
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
ancient name, together with the warnings and requirements, stories
and scenarios of the gods involved in the story of the year. The
day is divided into eight-hour segments of morning, afternoon and
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.

This book starts with a meticulous explanation of terminology used
in astronomy and astrology. This can be considered as a splendid
example of how to explain strictly scientific notions to readers
who are not necessarily skilled in the exact sciences. From an
astronomical point of view, the most interesting part of the work
is the presentation of the old Egyptian world system, which the
author concludes was the same as the system of Tycho Brahe
(1546-1601). He considers this astronomical system not just as a
transitory historical conception, but as something which possesses
permanent value. The author's deep historical studies made it
possible for him also to solve the problem of the interchange of
Mercury and Venus, something indicated many years ago by Rudolf
Steiner. This is an important achievement in the history of
astronomy. The main astrological finding of this book is that the
zodiac of the stars (sidereal zodiac) - as employed by the
Babylonians, Egyptians, and ancient Greeks - is the authentic
zodiac. Moreover, the auther promotes a new type of astrological
chart (hermetic chart) for the conception, birth, and death of
personalities under consideration, in addition to the customary
geocentric horoscope and in place of the heliocentric horoscope
promoted by Willi Sucher (1902-1985). With the hermetic chart the
auther places a new tool in the hands of astrologers and opens up
new possibilities for astrology as a science. On this basis he
develops his two "laws" of reincarnation, illustrating them by
striking examples. These "laws" express themselves by way of
certain planetary configurations coinciding at the moments of birth
and death in successive incarnations. He believes that with these
"laws" the significance of the tropical zodiac is disproved. This
work of Robert Powell, presenting a new astrological system, is a
valuable step in the development of a new wisdom of the stars in
line with the ideas of Willi Sucher. Willi Sucher's books and
articles are full of charm - deep in a spiritual sense -
representing a star wisdom in an embryonic state. With this book by
Robert Powell, the ideas of Willi Sucher are born as an earthly
reality and something new is brought into the world. Professor

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.
