In Mazzaroth; or The constellations, originally published in 1862,
19th-century English linguist and scholar FRANCES ROLLESTON
(1781-1864) presents readers with her theory of the gospel in the
stars. Rolleston believed that through the ancient names for the
stars, one could discover the oldest knowledge transmitted from God
to man: the method of man's redemption and the coming of the Jewish
messiah. Mentioned in the book of Job, the Mazzaroth is generally
believed to be the signs of zodiac. By passing through each sign, a
person with a full understanding of the constellations and their
meanings can interpret God's message. Rolleston painstakingly
provides readers with evidence, she claims, that the signs of the
zodiac are an allegory for the New Testament. Through Egyptian
hieroglyphs, Assyrian writings, and even the writings in ancient
Mexico, she constructs a system of symbols and metaphors all of
which attest to a singular meaning to the arrangement of the
constellations. Students of the occult and readers with an interest
in astrology will find this an entertaining read.
