Beautiful art-deco oracle deck featuring the 12 signs of the zodiac as well as planetary symbolism.
Humans have been meditating on the Moon since the beginning of our
time on earth. As long as there has been anything we could call
astrology, it has been central to all theories of celestial
influence. But why do astrologers pay so little attention to its
phases? In these pages, Steven Forrest, bestselling author of The
Inner Sky, shows how we have been blinded to the lunar phases by a
set of cultural attitudes now drifting into extinction. He
demonstrates that our Celtic ancestors held the key to
understanding lunar phase and he skillfully, clearly, and
eloquently turns the key in that lock for us. Along the way, he
also presents the latest research on the powerful but little used
tools: the Out of Bounds Moon, lunar speed, and lunar parallax.
You'll also find rare descriptions of the progressed lunation
cycle, planetary phase angles and nodal phase. Discover the soul of
the moon in this lucid explanation of the Moon's place in modern
humanistic astrological counseling.
ASTRONOMY / GEOLOGY CATACLYSM! Cataclysm! presents a breakthrough
of enormous proportions--a new understanding of cosmic events in
Earth's recent geological past. Follow this multi-disciplinary,
scientific study as it examines the evidence of a great global
catastrophe that occurred only 11,500 years ago. Crustal shifting,
the tilting of Earth's axis, mass extinctions, upthrusted mountain
ranges, rising and shrinking land masses, and gigantic volcanic
eruptions and earthquakes--all indicate that a fateful
confrontation with a destructive cosmic visitor must have occurred.
The abundant geological, biological, and climatological evidence
from this dire event calls into question many geological theories
and will awaken our memories to our true--and not-so-distant--past.
"In not only the scholarship of paleontology but the paleontology
of scholarship, this is the sort of book which someday we will
realize to be--like the record of a great extinction--the marker at
the end of one era and the threshold of another. It is monumental
work, which no enlightened library of the coming paradigm shift
will be without." --Douglas Kenyon, Atlantis Rising magazine "Allan
and Delair do a brilliant job in revealing that researchers have
barely touched the tip of the iceberg of events that shook the
Earth around 9,577 B.C. . . . This book is an essential handbook to
our ancient past: a brave multi-disciplinary approach that should
be applauded." --Rand Flem-Ath, coauthor, When the Sky Fell D.S.

Will there be peace? Will there be war? Find out with Mundane
Astrology. Here, in one volume, are three classic books on the
astrology of nations and states, by H.S. Green, Raphael, and C.E.O.
Carter: H.S. Green organizes his book planet-by- planet. He tells
what each planet will do in the 12 houses. Raphael organizes the
topic by house. He tells how mundane houses work when planets are
in them. In addition, both authors deal with solar and lunar
eclipses, and earthquakes. Green shows the effects of eclipses in
the houses, while Raphael describes them by decanate (100 sections
of the zodiac). Both mention the effects of comets, although little
about these mysterious bodies is known astrologically. Charles
Carter, writing after WWII, discusses why astrologers failed to
predict the war and what that means for mundane astrology. His plea
for better data has largely been met, but the need for more study
remains. All three authors give astrological rulerships for
countries and cities. These are centuries old and are weighted to
England and Europe. Carter's rulers are the most up-to-date. These
are the essential texts for serious study of mundane astrology.
About the Authors H.S. Green was an astrologer associated with Alan
Leo's astrological revival back in the first decade of the 20th
century. His various books are highly regarded (all but this one
out of print, sadly), but biographical details are sketchy. Raphael
was the pen-name of one Robert Cross, 1850-1923. He was the sixth
in a series of astrological writers who used the name "Raphael"
& remains the best known of them all. He wrote books on
virtually all astrological topics. His book on mundane astrology
dates from 1910. Charles E.O. Carter, 1887-1968, was one of the
outstanding British astrologers of the 20th century. He succeeded
Alan Leo as head of the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical
Society, a post he held from 1920 to 1952. He was editor of
Astrology, The Astrologer's Quarterly, from 1926 to 1959. Carter's
persistent genius reestablished astrology as a serious discipline
in England, after two centuries of decline. He wrote his book on
Mundane Astrology in reaction to the failure of astrologers to
forecast WWII. In 1939, astrologers in London knew there was a
full-scale war on in China, they knew the situation with Germany
was tense, but they had studied the charts for the year, they knew
the fuss would blow over. And they were wrong. Carter set out to
discover why, his book was the result.
