This book bridges the existing gap between film sound and film
music studies by bringing together scholars from both disciplines
who challenge the constraints of their subject areas by thinking
about integrated approaches to the soundtrack. As the boundaries
between scoring and sound design in contemporary cinema have become
increasingly blurred, both film music and film sound studies have
responded by expanding their range of topics and the scope of their
analysis beyond those traditionally addressed. The running theme of
the book is the disintegration of boundaries, which permeates
discussions about industry, labour, technology, aesthetics and
audiovisual spectatorship. The collaborative nature of screen media
is addressed not only in scholarly chapters but also through
interviews with key practitioners that include sound recordists,
sound designers, composers, orchestrators and music supervisors who
honed their skills on films, TV programmes, video games,
commercials and music videos.
Acclaimed astrologer Sasportas explores in detail the experiences
and situations associated with each of the houses, describing not
only their tangible associations but also the more subtle meanings
of each of the different spheres of life.
This book is based on a seminar originally given by Liz Greene in
2005, entitled ‘Chiron in Love’ because Chiron’s story is
most clearly and poignantly enacted in our most personal exchanges
with the people closest to us. It includes a background of mythic
material about Chiron that can help to shed light on the
interaction between Chiron in one horoscope and the planets and
angles in another. In 2020, during the height of the Covid
pandemic, Liz gave three further online seminars to explore the
relationship between Chiron and the global outpouring of
helplessness, fear, rage, polarisation, and apparently obsessive
determination to find scapegoats that has emerged as a result of
the pandemic and its psychological consequences. Sections of these
more recent seminars have been amalgamated with the original
seminar, resulting in a broad spectrum of themes all related to the
central core of Chiron’s myth and meaning. Ways of permanently
healing Chiron’s wound and saving the world are not included.
Instead, the emphasis is on the individual and the necessity of
working as honestly and insightfully as possible with the feelings
of envy, rage, bitterness, and potential wisdom and compassion
reflected by Chiron’s complex story. Astrology students of all
levels will find Liz Greene's insights invaluable in working with
this paradoxical and challenging astrological symbol.
Health and wellbeing are significantly influenced by how
professionals plan, design and manage the environment. This book
supports those working in the built environment and public health
sectors, with the knowledge and insight to maximise health
improvement through planning and land use decisions. Supported by
examples of policy and approaches, it focuses on implementation and
delivery, and sets out what is needed to achieve healthier
environments within the parameters of legislative and policy
frameworks. It demonstrates how when we harness the art and science
of public health spatial planning, can we begin to effect changes
to the policies and decisions that shape population health.
This is a reprint of the CPA Press original. Disturbed
psychological states have baffled both religion and medicine for as
long as human beings have existed. Despite the explorations of
modern psychology we are no closer to understanding these
expressions of human suffering than we were a thousand years ago.
Although it can offer no solutions, astrology can provide many
insights into why some individuals respond to conflict and
unhappiness by retreating form life, and why others respond with
savagery toward their fellows. The three seminars in this book use
astrological perspectives to explore a spectrum of extreme
psychological states, from the condition known as psychopathy to
the collective mechanism of scapegoating as much a pathology as any
diagnosed mental illness. Astrologers often avoid confronting the
issues of madness and human destructiveness, and political
correctness has made it even more difficult to face such issues
honestly and without sentiment or hypocrisy. But only by exploring
the roots of what we call madness can we find any positive and
creative approach to the mystery of why some individuals fail to
cope constructively with life 's challenges. This book will
sometimes shock and disturb, but it is an invaluable resource for
any practicing astrologer concerned with the dilemma of human
suffering, and any lay person wishing to understand how astrology
can contribute to our comprehension of human behaviour.
The author uses basic astrological concepts symbolically and
practically in a framework of Jungian psychology to show how people
relate to one another on both conscious and unconscious levels.
The longing for redemption is a many-headed daimon that dwells
within the most earthbound and prosaic of souls. Neptune is the
astrological symbol that describes this energy. Liz Greene, an
internationally known astrologer, has given us the most complete
and accessible book about Neptune ever written! She explores
Neptune themes in literature, myth, politics, religion, fashion,
and art to show how this energy manifests.
Winner of the IAJS award for best authored book of 2018! C. G. Jung
had a profound interest in and involvement with astrology, which he
made clear in virtually every volume of the Collected Works, as
well as in many of his letters. This ancient symbolic system was of
primary importance in his understanding of the nature of time, the
archetypes, synchronicity, and human fate. Jung's Studies in
Astrology is an historical survey of his astrological work from the
time he began to study the subject. It is based not only on his
published writings, but also on the correspondence and documents
found in his private archives, many of which have never previously
seen the light of day. Liz Greene addresses with thoroughness and
detailed scholarship the nature of Jung's involvement with
astrology: the ancient, medieval, and modern sources he drew on,
the individuals from whom he learned, his ideas about how and why
it worked, its religious and philosophical implications, and its
applications in the treatment of his patients as well as in his own
self-understanding. Greene clearly demonstrates that any serious
effort to understand the development of Jung's psychological
theories, as well as the nature of his world-view, needs to involve
a thorough exploration of his astrological work. This thorough
investigation of a central theme in Jung's work will appeal to
analytical psychologists and Jungian psychotherapists, students and
academics of Jungian and post-Jungian theory, the history of
psychology, archetypal thought, mythology and folklore, the history
of New Age movements, esotericism, and psychological astrology.
C. G. Jung's The Red Book: Liber Novus, published posthumously in
2009, explores Jung's own journey from an inner state of alienation
and depression to the restoration of his soul, as well as offering
a prophetic narrative of the collective human psyche as it journeys
from unconsciousness to a greater awareness of its own inner
dichotomy of good and evil. Jung utilised astrological symbols
throughout to help him comprehend the personal as well as universal
meanings of his visions. In The Astrological World of Jung's Liber
Novus, Liz Greene explores the planetary journey Jung portrayed in
this remarkable work and investigates the ways in which he used
astrological images and themes as an interpretive lens to help him
understand the nature of his visions and the deeper psychological
meaning behind them. Greene's analysis includes a number of mythic
and archetypal elements, including the stories of Salome, Siegfried
and Elijah, and demonstrates that astrology, as Jung understood and
worked with it, is unquestionably one of the most important
foundation stones of analytical psychology, and an essential part
of understanding his legacy. This unique study will appeal to
analytical psychologists and Jungian psychotherapists, students and
academics of Jungian and post-Jungian theory, the history of
psychology, archetypal thought, mythology and folklore, the history
of New Age movements, esotericism and psychological astrology.
A comprehensive astrological guide to life, relationships and
lovers, "Astrology for Lovers" is a seminal guide to learning how
to interpret the subtle and not-so subtle attributes of both your
own and your partner's astrological sign in order to create a
better understanding of one another. Each person has a unique
footprint in the map of the cosmos, and "Astrology for Lovers"
guides the reader through each of the Sun signs in an enlightening
and comprehensive manner. Each sign is given a lengthy description
of its characteristics, as well its creation myth. Greene then
expands upon the sign's shadowy side, and finally explicates the
fine points of the individual sign as a lover. "Astrology for
Lovers" will teach readers not only critical aspects of their own
motivations, but also provide invaluable insight into the inner
workings of their lovers.

It has been said that if we wish to make God laugh, all we have to
do is make plans. The enthusiastic participation of the audience
contributes an important dimension to the dynamic quality of the
two seminars in this volume, a reprint of the original CPA Press
version, which focus on Uranus, that most unpredictable and
disruptive of astrological symbols, and one of the most
misunderstood. Part One explores Uranus in the natal chart,
examining the mythic images of Ouranos the sky-god and Prometheus
the Titan, bringer of cosmic fire, and investigating the
psychological dynamics of the outlaw, the revolutionary, and the
collective urge toward evolution and perfection. Part Two deals
with the 84-year transit cycle of Uranus and how it is expressed
psychologically and through external events and relationship
patterns. This important cycle is also explored in relation to the
cycle of Saturn, which closely shadows Uranus throughout the
individual's life. 'The Art of Stealing Fire' is often highly
provocative, challenging our conventional astrological assumptions
about Uranus and asking us to reflect on those times when we must
find a way to balance our individual values with the great
collective urge toward progress of which this planet is a symbol.
This book is accessible to astrological students at every level,
but it will also prove revelatory to experienced astrological
practitioners.

Human beings in all cultures have long used the sky to tell stories
and weave myths that impart meaning to life on earth. The key to
all such systems is symbolism, in which one thing is used to
signify, imply, represent, or embody another. The papers included
in this volume are all concerned, in one way or another, with
various perceptions of the world of celestial phenomena as symbols.
These explorations range from art history and analytical psychology
to critiques and accounts of astrology, and roam from western to
non-western cultures, as well as from the ancient world to the
modern. The papers, most of which were given at the University of
Wales Trinity Saint David Sophia Centre Conference in Bath, UK, in
2011, provide a valuable addition to the scholarly literature on
our understanding of the origins, function, and nature of symbols,
especially their use in relation to cultural applications of
astronomy, astrology, and the sky.
The growth of the occult 'underground' is one of the most
fascinating features of late 19th and early 20th century British
society. After decades of neglect, a growing body of scholarship is
now dedicated to various aspects of Victorian and Edwardian magical
practices and personalities, in an effort to understand why such a
powerful cultural current could emerge simultaneously with the rise
of modern science, and why it continues to exercise such a
pervasive influence in many contemporary spiritualities. The books,
articles, letters, and diaries produced by major figures in the
occult revival, such as Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune, reveal
the centrality of the Jewish Kabbalah in occultist thought and
practice. However, the ways in which these individuals, and the
secret societies they founded, sourced and utilised Jewish esoteric
lore are largely ignored in current research. Current scholarship
generally assumes that 'occultist' Kabbalah is a modernreinvention
of older traditions, with little relationship to its Jewish roots.
This assumption ignores the documented contributions of Jewish
scholars and Kabbalists to the occultists' work, and there is
little, if any, in-depth comparison of the ideas expressed by
British occultists and the Jewish Kabbalistic literature of the
medieval and early modern periods. And why was the Jewish Kabbalah
was so compellingly attractive to non-Jewish occultists at a time
of turbulent social and scientific change, when religious,
political, and racial antisemitism constituted a normative attitude
in many circles of British society? This book provides a new,
exciting, and penetrating analysis of how and why the Jewish
Kabbalah was adopted and integrated, rather than reinvented or
recreated, by important figures in the British occult revival, and
why it remains a dominant theme in the spiritual currents of the
twenty-first century
