The influence of the seven Wandering Stars or Deathless Powers of
the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn has
shaped the development of magick for many thousands of years. Their
influence can be seen permeating many of the modern Western
Esoteric Traditions, who are the inheritors of the wisdom &
knowledge passed down through the ages. From Ancient Sumeria, to
the Greeks, the Romans, the early Qabalists, the Medieval &
Renaissance Grimoire Magickians through to the Victorian Occult
Societies, the influence of the planets is clearly present in the
symbolism of their ceremonies, practices & beliefs. In this
practical sourcebook, the authors bring together old & new
techniques which they hope will inspire others to explore the
multi-faceted world of planetary magick. There are simple planetary
contemplations, hymns & meditation journeys, ideal for the
novice who wants to explore the symbolism of the planets & in
doing so learn to focus the different planetary energies.
Information is provided on the many spiritual beings associated
with the planets - The Gods & Goddesses who give their names to
the planets, the Olympic Spirits, Archangels, Orders of Angels,
Planetary Intelligences & Planetary Spirits. Essential
techniques for creating planetary sigils using the magick number
squares, calculating planetary hours, making & consecrating
amulets & talismans are given with practical examples. Drawing
from their experience & knowledge gained working in a number of
Western Esoteric Traditions, the authors also present here original
planetary techniques & ceremonies - including the Ritual of the
Heptagram, Planetary Pyramids, Planetary Magick Circles & Angle
Webs. The rich symbolism & influence of the magick of the
Wandering Stars underlies the spiritual & magickal heritage of
Western Esotericism. Through exploring & working with the
Deathless Powers, the reader can come to a greater understanding of
the transformative powers they offer every true seeker of the
Mysteries.

James Wilson wrote his Dictionary of Astrology in 1819. Based in
large measure on a close study of the works of Ptolemy and Placidus
(among many others), it is a quirky, highly personal view of the
ancient science. It has been acclaimed the finest of all
astrological dictionaries. Wilson's goal was to force the student
to think about some of the basic assumptions in astrology. In the
Preface, he writes: If I had any motive more prominent than the
rest (beyond promoting the cause of truth, which, I trust, will
always be the principal) for publishing this work, it was a desire
to injure those harpies who gather together scarce books of
science, and hide them from the perusal of mankind, merely for the
sake of gain, which, after all, can be but trifling: men like these
are the enemies of knowledge, and ought to be severely punished in
every civilized nation. This treatise will render most of their
hoards comparatively useless, for I have been careful to insert the
substance of all they contain relating to astrology, whether true
or false, adding occasionally some remarks of my own to distinguish
the latter as far as I am able, that every student may be enabled
to found his own conviction on his own experience. Rather than the
short, arid articles typical of specialized dictionaries, Wilson
offers extensive entries on (Primary) Directions, Faces, Figures,
Forms of the Body, Horary Astrology, Marriage, Part of Fortune,
Weather, the judgment of Revolutions, Progressions, Ingresses,
Riches, Promittors, as well as many more. A few years after this
book, the author published his translation of Ptolemy's
Tetrabiblos, one of only a handful of men to have done so. The
Dictionary of Astrology is abook of surprises. It will repay study.

Dorotheus of Sidon, who appears to have lived in Alexandria,
flourished in the first century AD. He wrote his Pentateuch (five
books) on astrology in Greek, in verse. This translation, from 1976
by David Pingree, is from a fourth century Pahlavi (Persian)
source. The first book is on the judgement of nativities. Book two
concerns marriage and children. Book three is on the length of
life. Book four is on the transfer of years, i.e., forecasting.
Book five is on interrogations, i.e., electional astrology. In this
book are the earliest known astrological charts. Dorotheus bases
much of his interpretative methods on the triplicity rulers, by day
and by night. All fire signs have the same rulers. All earth signs
have their rulers, as do air and water signs. He uses Egyptian
terms. He, like the Greeks of his day, also uses the Dodecatemoria,
which are the twelfths of a sign. And many, many lots, all defined.
For the first time in this edition: Pingree's Preface newly
translated. An appendix with charts in modern format. A complete
table of terms and triplicity rulers. A table to calculate
Dodecatemoria. Newly reset to match Pingree's original 1976
edition. Written a century before Ptolemy, here is the mainstream
of Greek astrology. It will handsomely repay study.
Richard Saunders (1613 - 1692) was an astrologer/physician in 17th
century England. This book, first published in 1677, was the result
of thirty years practice. It is also one of the earliest
astro-medical treatises in the English language. Using the
terminology of his day, Saunders speaks of humors and winds, of
conditions hot, cold or dry, of the cholerick and fiery, etc. This
is a comprehensive and demanding text on medical astrology.
Included are rules for decumbiture charts, illnesses produced by
the traditional planets in the various signs of the zodiac, when to
administer medicines based on planetary hours, and much more. This
is also a first hand account of life, death and medicine in the
16th and 17th centuries, with many surprising details. Of the Black
Plague of 1593 (with transiting Saturn in sign of Cancer), Saunders
writes, "And you shall understand that this Plague was not
infectious, because it came of a cold cause; and there was nothing
that bred it so soon as the eating of fresh Herrings and Cucumbers
and fruit, and such things as breed slimy Flegm and Water; and most
commonly where it took a house, it went round amongst children and
servants, that were all of one kind of feeding; and those two years
was great plenty of fresh Herrings, and much fruit; and there dyed
in the year 1593 eighteen hundred a week, and most of the Doctors
of Physick did fly from London, and Dr. Foreman staid by it, and
thanks God he saved many." (pg. 154). Includes numerous herbal
remedies and medieval medical techniques. Introductions by his
contemporaries William Lilly, John Gadbury, Henry Coley and others.
One of the great astrology books.
Julius Firmicus Maternus, a native of Sicily, was a Roman lawyer of
the senatorial class. He lived in the first half of the fourth
century AD (c.280-c.360). He was also a student of Greek astrology,
which forms the basis of this book. Of this book, James Herschel
Holden writes, "The Mathesis is the lengthiest astrological
treatise that has come down to us from the classical period. It
consists of eight books, of which the first forms an introductory
essay on astrology, and the rest set forth the fundamentals of
Greek astrology. Several sections contain material that is found
nowhere else...." (History of Horoscopic Astrology, pg. 66.) The
translator writes, "Magic, philosophy, science and theology combine
in strange ways in the thinking of the last centuries of the Roman
empire..... Firmicus seemed worthy of note for many reasons. He is
almost alone as author of works produced both before and after an
apparent conversion to Christianity.... He left a lengthy handbook
detailing the astrological practices of his day, the only work
which has come down to us in its entirety 90% complete: Holden] out
of numerous astrological treatises written in the Hellenistic and
Roman periods..... This manual was important because it was the
channel for astrological lore to the Middle Ages and Renaissance."

Each of the 360 degrees of the Zodiac has its own unique symbol and
meaning. These symbols are often applied to the degrees of the
Ascendant, Sun, Moon, and ruling planet of the natal horoscope.
This book, comprising two complete sets, was first published in
1898 and has long been ranked as among the finest on the subject.
Charubel (1826-1908) was the pseudonym of John Thomas, a Welsh
clairvoyant, astrologer and healer. As a young man he studied for
the ministry, but when forced to choose between religious life and
his psychic abilities, he chose the later. He founded (and later
dissolved) an occult order. He also published numerous books and
was editor of several periodicals. His Degrees of the Zodiac
Symbolized was first published in 1893. Sepharial (1864-1929) was
known to friends as Walter Gorn Old. His early days were as a
Theosophist. Leaving them, he associated for a time with Alan Leo's
gang and wrote numerous books on astrology. An astrologer,
clairvoyant and occultist, towards the end of his life he became a
charismatic Christian. He had a lifelong interest in horse racing.
His translation of La Volasfera was first published in 1898.

With precise and complete tables for calculating nativities. The
author was unaware of another volume which treats this subject in a
systematic, connected, exhaustive, lucid and above all, correct,
form. Since Ptolemy's time, the errors and inaccuracies met with in
modern astrological calculations have been allowed to grow and
thrive, only to vitiate judgments based upon them. The author did
his best to purge the mathematical portion of the subject, of
almost all blunders more or less of which are found in almost every
existing book on this subject.

Back due to popular demand! For centuries, philosophers, alchemists
and psychologists have been intrigued and fascinated by the
intricacies of the labyrinth as a metaphor for human experience.
Richard Idemon sees the birth chart, a symbol of inherent universal
order, as a labyrinth - a logical but complicated and elusive
structure. The interwoven symbols in the horoscope are made up of a
single thread that, when unravelled - like the magic thread of
Ariadne - lead us through the maze to the heart of the chart and
our own nature. This book is transcribed from a six-day lecture
given in 1986.
Spica Award: International Book of the Year, 2001. The astrology
that is ubiquitous today is quite different from astrology as
practised throughout almost all of its long history. The dilute and
distorted version with which we are so familiar is not the study
that has fascinated so many of the finest minds in our culture with
its intellectual depth and practical precision. John Frawley
provides a searching - and often hilarious - critique of modern
astrology, and a detailed introduction to all the main branches of
the traditional craft. Accessible to those with no prior knowledge
of the subject, yet sufficiently through to serve as a vade mecum
for the student or practitioner.
