In Unveiling the Hidden-Anticipating the Future: Divinatory
Practices Among Jews Between Qumran and the Modern Period, Josefina
Rodriguez-Arribas and Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum collect ten studies
based on primary sources ranging from Qumran to the modern period
and covering Europe and the Mediterranean basin. The studies show
Jews practising divination (astrology, bibliomancy, physiognomy,
dream requests, astral magic, etc.) and implementing the study and
practice of the prognostic arts in ways that allowed Jews to make
them "Jewish," by avoiding any conflict with Jewish law or
halakhah. These studies focus on the Jewish components of this
divination, providing specific firsthand details about the
practices and their practitioners within their cultural and
intellectual contexts-as well as their fears, wishes, and
anxieties-using ancient scrolls and medieval manuscripts in Hebrew,
Aramaic, and Judaeo-Arabic. Contributors are Michael D. Swartz,
Helen R. Jacobus, Alessia Bellusci, Blanca Villuendas Sabate,
Shraga Bar-On, Josefina Rodriguez-Arribas, Amos Geula, Dov
Schwartz, Joseph Ziegler, and Charles Burnett.
Old Moore's forecasts focus not only on the 12 zodiac signs, but
also on how to define the influence of the Moon and Venus. The
diaries help people better understand themselves and their
relationships. Old Moore identifies key days - weeks in advance. He
also advises what to plan into them, so you get the most out of
their active influences. Over a million readers trust Old Moore -
Britain's Top astrologer. In 2017, Old Moore's Almanack will be 321
years old and deserves its world record-beating inclusion in the
Guinness Book of Records. With accurate predictions, including the
2001 terrorist attacks, everyone agrees that Old Moore is the No. 1
Seer, with the best prediction record. Accurate, fascinating and
appropriate, Old Moore plots the future of the world's ups and
downs for the year ahead.
