Gillian Kemp gives a description of each goddess and her main powers, followed by a spell associated with that goddess. For example, Cerridwen is the goddess of truth and she encourages you to be your most authentic self, while Awen, goddess of inspiration, helps you find the answers you need.

This is the first commentary in any language on three of the books of ancient Greek astrological poetry ascribed to the Egyptian priest Manetho. Manetho, who became a figure for recondite wisdom, came to be credited with a series of didactic poems which list outcomes for planetary set-ups in a horoscope or birth chart. This book contends that we can learn a great deal from this material about the intellectual, cultural, social, and literary history of the world in which it was written-Hadrianic Egypt, and the second-century Roman Empire at large. Its descriptions of the kinds of person who are born under happy and unhappy configurations of stars speak to the lived realities, aspirations, and fears of the astrologer's clientele. Given astrology's enormous contemporary prestige, this means we are offered insights into the mental universe and values of the common man, l'homme moyen sensuel, that elite literature largely bypasses. The volume addresses current work on the emotions and popular ethics. It also brings to the fore a neglected witness to a type of imperial didactic poetry-functional, technical in content, and yet sharing a degree of artistry with better-known poets such as Dionysius the Periegete. The Manethonian poems are placed in the context of other ancient astrological literature-much of it very different in idiom, complexity, and method-but also in the wider one of other divinatory texts, philosophical writing, and the novel. There is a Greek text with English translation and an apparatus with parallel material to enable comparison with related works.

Scrying is the practice of looking into crystal balls, mirrors, water, fire, clouds and many other things to see visions, find messages and gain knowledge. It can be done for personal guidance, for inspiration, to find the answers to questions, to look at distant places or other realms, or for fortune-telling and prophecy. It is a form of divination that taps into our psychic senses and powers of intuition. Pagan Portals - Scrying shows how anyone can learn to develop the necessary skills to scry in a variety of different ways.

From ancient times, people have wanted to understand the rhythms of life and looked to the skies for answers. The Ancient Greeks and Romans turned to the celestial bodies for inspiration and devised narratives to which they referred to make decisions and choices.

Only by understanding the meaning, nature and power of each planet and how that's relevant to your birth chart – which is relevant only to you – can you really harness the power of the zodiac. You can then use this knowledge to work out how planetary patterns might influence you and how they will affect your life in a rather profound way. You will learn, for instance, what sort of impression you are likely to make when you enter a room, how you function in a group, or how spontaneous you are likely to be.

Sunspot is a thought-provoking, humourous look at the relationship between dogs and their astrological signs. Be it a determined Aries, stubborn Taurus, spaced-out Gemini, melodramatic Cancer, kingly Leo, orderly Virgo, balanced Libra, intense Scorpio, enthusiastic Sagittarius, sure-footed Capricorn, curious Aquarius, or devoted Pices - the sign under which your dog was born can at least partly explain the reasons for its behaviour. The idea for Sunspot started as a joke when a friend complained to Laurie Birnsteel that her dog hated change. When asked if her dog was born in May, the friend replied yes. That's why, Birnsteel replied. Your dog is a Taurus, and Tauruses hate change. Thus began more than two years of research - including hundreds of questionnaires and interviews with dog owners - into the relationships of dogs and their signs - more specifically, how their astrological signs affect their behaviour. Each sign has its own chapter in Sunspot. Beginning with lists of the good doggy and bad doggy characteristics for each, Birnsteel proceeds to offer real-life examples of dogs behaving in ways consistent with their signs.At the end of the book, the questionnaires that pet owners completed are included. Whether you've lived, loved, laughed, or cried over a dog, this book is for you
