Drawing on a lifetime of experiences, author Julie McCulloch
Burton shares a compilation of short stories and vignettes that
reflect her self-deprecating sense of humor and her positive
outlook on life, turning ordinary moments into meaningful
lessons.
Including personal photographs of a wide range of subjects-food,
flowers, animals, people, landscapes, seasons, studies in lines,
and studies in water movement-Mediocre also presents a varied
collection of writings, many of which originated as e-mails to
family and friends. Burton offers narratives relaying the realities
and absurdities of humorous, everyday situations; accounts of what
it's like to live with multiple sclerosis; favorite family recipes;
philosophical thoughts; poetry; and reflections on moments in life
when you wish you had thought things through just a little bit
more.
In "Mediocre," Burton provides enlightenment about an ailment
that does not define her, entertains with the humor that does, and
teaches that the object of this game is not only to do your best on
your best day, but also to do your best on your worst day.
This thoroughly researched book is a history of the development of
Western horoscopic astrology from its origin among the Babylonians
and its subsequent creation in its present form by the Alexandrians
down to modern times. Special attention is given to background
history and to the working conditions and techniques used by
astrologers during the last two thousand years. Numerous footnotes
provide additional information and bibliographic references. A
separate bibliography lists reference sources of particular
importance. Two comprehensive indices containing more than 2,800
individual entries enable the reader to locate persons, publishers,
topics, and book and periodical titles that are mentioned in the
history. The book also contains discussions of several questions
and topics relating to astrology.
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

The Witness of the Stars stands as one of the best explanations of
the constellations in the context of Biblical wisdom. This edition
includes all of E. W. Bullinger's original charts and illustrations
of the heavens above. To compose this book, E. W. Bullinger used
his Biblical scholarship alongside research of the origins of the
astronomical constellations. He demonstrates, through a close
reading of the Old and New Testaments, how each of the star signs
relates to the Bible's stories. Gradually, it is revealed how God
makes himself known to us through the Bible's astronomy. The
symbolism of the star signs are shown as important in the Bible.
Their presence in verse relates not simply to their appearances,
such as Libra's scales or Aries as a ram, but also the way in which
Biblical figures behave after looking at the heavens for guidance.
The Book of Job is highlighted by Bullinger for being significantly
influenced by the stars.
Why do we attract the same types of people over and over again? Why
is it so easy for certain people to find love, and so difficult for
others? "The Four Pillars of Destiny: A Guide to Relationships"
answers the age-old questions surrounding relationships,
attractions, and true love. By referencing the year, month, day,
and hour of a person's birth, the ancient Chinese method of Four
Pillars will systematically map the blueprint for his or her life
in matters of health, wealth, career, love, and happiness. For
countless generations, the Chinese have been drawn to the Four
Pillars system for its accurate method of divination. This system
has allowed practitioners the ability to analyze many aspects of a
person's life and enlightened the path to capitalizing their cosmic
flow when good luck happens. The destiny blueprint each of us
receives at birth can be used to reveal options and paths that we
can act upon during good and bad times in life. Using this
blueprint, we can evaluate where our limits lie and understand what
we truly are capable of achieving, as well as the type of
connections that we can make with those around us.
