    That thread is the Decans, a division of the earth’s sky into 36 sections. These 36 ‘Faces of Heaven’ are more than just a curious footnote in the history of archaeo-astronomy. First emerging in ancient Egypt, they have moved with the corpus of Hermetic material, reincarnating in the starry wisdom of culture after culture.Ostensibly a gear in astrology’s encompassing clockworks, the Decans have also long been a key to accessing legions of spirits. For several millennia and in multiple cultures, magicians have looked at these 36 faces and seen gods, choirs of angels, hordes of demons, and a host of daimones staring back at them, each with its own unique powers. Far from going undocumented, this gallery of faces has been painted and drawn by a host of astrologers, sorcerers and artists, and they can be found on walls of Italian villas as well as in the pages of grimoires.Weaving together astrology and magic, divination and sorcery, time and sky, this thread of esoteric history deserves more than the footnotes it has so far received. In this work, Austin Coppock follows the Decans through history, charting their trajectory through time and culture. Using the ring of keys which history provides, the 36 doors are flung open, revealing their mysteries to magician and astrologer alike. Each decan, its image, and its specific powers are examined in detail, as well as its permutations in the planetary aspects. Featuring original images specially created for each Decan by Bob Eames, 36 Faces is an invaluable resource for magicians, astrologers, and historians of magical semiotics.

A specific astrological paradigm is presented that allows the reader to understand the core structure of any Soul’s consciousness. The natural evolution of the Soul’s consciousness is then discussed relative to the four natural evolutionary states or conditions for it to be within, and how the individual Soul consciousness is given a specific identity in each life by way of the egocentric structure that the Soul creates for its ongoing evolutionary needs. All the additional core archetypes are discussed such as the inner directions from the Source of the Soul, God/ess, whispers from eternity that attempt to direct the Soul in its evolutionary needs, the sense and need for ultimate meaning in one’s life, delusions and illusions, what can be called the ‘god complex,’ deceptions, the collective consciousness and unconsciousness and each individual Soul’s relationship to that, various types of instability of the Soul’s consciousness such as schizophrenia, dreams and what types, hope and hopelessness, faith, miracles, the various types of wounding of the Soul, purity, innocence, victimization, scapegoating, the power of imagination, psychic phenomena, a discussion of Neptune’s lower octave, Venus, and how this correlates to the essential needs of the Soul in relationships, the transit of Neptune in Pisces, and a natural way that is provable to create a super-conscious state within yourself that allows for a perception, knowing, of the Manifest and Un-manifested Creation: God.

    Emerging when cultures were embedded in chaotic creation mythology, astrology has persisted into modern society. Reasons for this longevity are an enigma, yet the answer may lie in chaos theory and complexity. These theories reveal that the themes of coincidence and cycles, constitutive of chaotic creation mythologies, are in fact the common features of a lived life experience. Brady argues that astrology is actually a vernacular expression of chaos and complexity, and it thus offers insights into the efficacy of the synchronicities of life. Brady thereby offers us a profound reassessment of astrology and its cultural contexts.
