Discover the spellbinding history of astrology and divination across
the world.
A History of Astrology, Divination and Prophecy traces the journey of
astrology from its roots in the 3rd century BCE, when ancient
Mesopotamians studied celestial bodies with the aim of predicting the
future, through its development into the distinct branches of Eastern
astrology, Indian (Vedic) astrology, and the Western astrology that we
know today.
Learn about the numerous techniques that have been devised over the
centuries to predict the future – from the use of yarrow stalks of the
I Ching over 2,500 years ago to methods still practised today, such as
Tarot, crystals, palmistry, and numerology. Discover the stories of
influential and learned seers, from the oracles of Ancient Greece to
the 16th-century French philosopher and mystic Nostradamus, who is said
to have predicted the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and explore how our
fear of and fascination with astrology, divination, prediction, and
prophecy have been depicted in art and literature.
Comprehensive, accessible, and beautifully illustrated, A History of
Astrology, Divination and Prophecy will intrigue and inspire you in
equal measure, and tell you everything you need to know about these
rich and fascinating histories.
