Book excerpt: A book that offers a whole new range of view points on astrology, astronomy and the cultural history of mankind. The author first describes the origin of the zodiacal images according to Rudolf Steiner's statements. Then he discusses why these images do not correspond either with the signs of the zodiac in traditional astrology or with the physically visible constellations of the stars, and what role the astronomy of the ancient Greeks plays in this. Another topic is the varying duration of the ages and what questions this raises for modern astronomy. Finally, using the example of European cultural development over the last thousand years, it is shown that each age is divided into twelve smaller cultural periods, which in their characteristics correspond exactly to the series of the forces of the zodiac.

Book excerpt: It is a matter of common knowledge among mystics that the evolutionary career of mankind is indissolubly bound up with the divine hierarchies who rule the planets and the signs of the Zodiac, and that the passage of the Sun and the planets through the twelve signs of the Zodiac marks man's progress in time and in space. Therefore, it is not to be wondered at, that in the course of their investigations into the spiritual development of mankind, the writers have also encountered much that deals with the Zodiac, which is the boundary of our evolutionary sphere at the present time. So much has been perceived in the memory of nature that sheds light upon obscure passages of the Bible, that notes have been made from time to time of different points, but how to collect and collate these dissociated writings into a united whole has been a great problem for a long time. Even now, the writers know and feel that what they are bringing forth is only a very, very weak attempt to set before the students that great body of facts which have come to them through the memory of nature. They feel, however, that this will give a 3 4 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS new and more profound meaning to the old symbols, and that by passing on what has been found they put themselves in line to receive more light. Concerning the future evolution of planets, The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception teaches, on page 256, that "when the beings upon the planet have evolved to a sufficient degree, the planet becomes a Sun, the fixed center of the Solar System. When the beings there have evolved to a still greater degree, and consequently it has reached its maximum of brilliancy, it breaks up into a Zodiac and becomes, so to speak, the womb of a new Solar System. Thus the Great hosts of Divine beings who, until then, were confined upon that Sun gain freedom of action upon a great number of stars whence they can affect, in different ways, the system which grows up within their sphere of influence. The planets or man-bearing worlds within the Zodiac are constantly being worked upon by these forces but in various ways according to the stage they have reached in evolution. Our Sun could not have become a sun until it set out from itself all the beings who were not sufficiently evolved to endure the high rate of vibration and the great luminosity of the beings who were qualified for that evolution. All the beings upon the different planets would have been consumed had they remained in the Sun. This visible Sun, however, though it is a place of evolution for beings vastly above man, is not by any means the Father of the other planets, as EVOLUTION AS SHOWN IN THE ZODIAC 5 material science supposes. On the contrary, it is itself an emanation from the central Sun, which is the invisible source of all that IS in our solar system."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has at least a little bit of interest in astrology. Whether your style is just reading your horoscope in the newspaper, or you've seen an astrologist to have your stars charted, Influence of the Zodiac Upon Human Life, With Character Readings of Persons Born Under the Cusp will definitely fascinate you. Influence of the Zodiac Upon Human Life, With Character Readings of Persons Born Under the Cusp was an influential book during the early stages of the New Thought movement, which taught Western audiences about Eastern mystical practices. Author Eleanor Kirk embraces what she calls the Occult Laws, which contain the essential wisdom of ancient spiritual leaders. Influence of the Zodiac Upon Human Life, With Character Readings of Persons Born Under the Cusp breaks down the twelve astrological signs, listing the traits, strengths and weaknesses of people born under each sign. Kirk advises the reader about what their signs mean, including the impact on marriages, childrearing and career. For example, she states fire signs and water signs should never marry, because water puts out fire but fire cannot touch water. After detailing the personality characteristics, Kirk gives tips she calls "mode of growth," which explain how the person can best honor their Zodiac traits. Pisceans, for instance, are said to be peculiar, loving and obstinate, and prone to fits of anxiety and pessimism. Kirk prescribes a quiet room dedicated to meditating on the mantra "I can, I will," to calm and center the fish sign. By emphasizing that a person's astrological sign is an influence, not a fate, Kirk informs people that they can control their own destinies. Kirk's writing style is concise, but never dry. One of the book's strengths is its sense of urgency. Kirk describes the purpose of learning astrological truths with the conviction of a person who believes the fate of the world depends upon it. Kirk beseeches readers to open their minds to new lines of thought, reminding them that"[H]e who has eyes to see can read between the lines." Influence of the Zodiac Upon Human Life, With Character Readings of Persons Born Under the Cusp is an excellent summary of the personal traits and influence of the heavens. All readers will find the prose compelling and the subject matter intriguing. It is a good book for those who are just starting to investigate astrology or for those who are experienced and seeking a refresher course.

This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description of Book: The "switching-on" of human symbol-making capacity between approximately 100,000 and 40,000 years ago was the tipping point towards a particular way of thinking that set the stage for the subsequent behavioral, cultural and religious evolution of humankind. What caused this momentous change, hitherto unparalleled in the history of life on earth, is considered by scientists as the greatest riddle in human evolution. The ground-breaking discoveries pointing to the likely cause are so astonishing they will force a radical rethinking about the origins of culture and religion. Some may not be ready to accept what is being revealed, but we need to set aside our preconceived ideas. An objective examination is necessary, since a new understanding may just provide some of the answers we have long been searching for. Containing fascinating insights, this book explains how these may have conditioned the human brain to evolve within the structure and limitations of an ancient celestial worldview blueprint. It provides an understanding of how complex cosmological ideas have been passed down through the ages within diverse cultures, and demonstrates that these are still having an impact on how we behave and why we adhere to culture and religion. With this book I hope to achieve an innovative and widespread appreciation of ancient cosmology, anticipating that this will revolutionize thinking about ourselves and nature; and enable acceptance of the common psychological and cultural threads which bind us, releasing the enormous potential within our commonality to create a new humanity devoid of centuries of brainwashing.

Download or read book Culture and Horticulture written by Wolf D. Storl and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various studies have shown time and again that small organic farms and home gardens are capable of producing more food per acre with less fossil energy than large-scale commercial agricultural installations dependent on machines and toxic chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This classic book by Wolf D. Storl, a respected elder in the practice of permaculture, details how food is grown holistically and beautifully by traditional communities around the world, and shows how to apply their ancient wisdom to our own gardens. With interest in natural, sustainable, organic and local food at an all-time high, people are looking beyond their farmers markets and CSA cooperatives to hyperlocal ways of growing healthy, delicious produce in urban gardens and their own backyards. Culture and Horticulture details time-tested methods that are as effective today as they were hundreds of years ago. On the practical front, the book works as a manual for creating and maintaining a bountiful harvest. It explains how to build the soil to maintain fertility; how to produce compost; how to plant, sow, and tend the various fruit and vegetable plants; how to rotate crops and practice companion planting; how to set up a favorable microclimate; how to deal with so-called weeds and pests; how to harvest at the right time; and finally how to store vegetables and herbs. Special emphasis is given to the art and science of composting, the compost being the "heart" of any self-sufficient garden and a model for the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. At the same time the reader is introduced to the wider aspects of horticulture, to its historical, philosophical, and cosmological contexts and social relevance. Gardening is a cultural activity, shaped by peoples' thoughts, wishes, and needs as well as by their cultural traditions. The author, an anthropologist by profession who has investigated the gardening practices of indigenous people throughout the world and worked for many years on biodynamic farms and in his own food garden, will introduce the reader to Rudolf Steiner's vision of the garden as an organic unit, embedded in the context of terrestrial and cosmic forces. Storl explains the importance of cosmic rhythms (solar, lunar, and planetary), the role of biodynamic herbal preparations as "medicines" for the garden organism, and the so-called "etheric" and "astral" forces. The book presents a vision of the garden as seen through the eyes of "Goethean science," a magical place where alchemical transformations of material substances take place.

Download or read book A Cultural History of Tarot written by Helen Farley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enigmatic and richly illustrative tarot deck reveals a host of strange and iconic mages, such as The Tower, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hanged Man and The Fool: over which loom the terrifying figures of Death and The Devil. The 21 numbered playing cards of tarot have always exerted strong fascination, way beyond their original purpose, and the multiple resonances of the deck are ubiquitous. From T S Eliot and his 'wicked pack of cards' in "The Waste Land" to the psychic divination of Solitaire in Ian Fleming's "Live and Let Die"; and from the satanic novels of Dennis Wheatley to the deck's adoption by New Age practitioners, the cards have in modern times become inseparably connected to the occult. They are now viewed as arguably the foremost medium of prophesying and foretelling. Yet, as the author shows, originally the tarot were used as recreational playing cards by the Italian nobility in the Renaissance. It was only much later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, that the deck became associated with esotericism before evolving finally into a diagnostic tool for mind, body and spirit. This is the first book to explore the remarkably varied ways in which tarot has influenced culture. Tracing the changing patterns of the deck's use, from game to mysterious oracular device, Helen Farley examines tarot's emergence in 15th century Milan and discusses its later associations with astrology, kabbalah and the Age of Aquarius.
