36 Faces: The History, Astrology and Magic of the Decans


Austin Coppock - 2014
    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.

Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches - TianGan DiZhi: The Heart of Chinese Wisdom Traditions


Zhongxian Wu - 2014
    TianGan (Heavenly Stems) and DiZhi (Earthly Branches), commonly abbreviated to GanZhi, originated in the ancient Chinese cosmological sciences and is a complex calendrical system which was created to codify the patterns of life and of the universe itself. The ten symbols of Gan express the Yin or Yang perspective of Five Elements and embody the Way of Heaven. The 12 symbols of Zhi, made manifest in the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, hold the root of each Element and embrace the Way of Earth.Poetic summaries from the Song dynasty give the reader a deep understanding of the nature of each Stem and their relationship to each other. Offering an unprecedented insight into the subtleties and far-reaching influence of this ancient system, this book will be invaluable for the study or practice of Chinese medicine, FengShui, Chinese astrology, traditional Chinese cosmology, Qigong, Taiji, and other inner cultivation practices.

Jean Noblet Tarot


Jean-Claude Flornoy - 2014
    It is the oldest known tarot of the "Marseille" tradition. One of its many particularities is that it dares identify Arcanum XIII, usually unnamed, and frankly call it « death ».Tarot of Jean Noblet, DeathNoblet, even more than Dodal, belongs to a time when traditional knowledge was still being transmitted from master engraver to his apprentice. He is closer to the source than all who follow him: in this resides his greatest interest. Specialists, and all who enjoy significant details, will find plenty of features here worth examining.I wish, however, to draw your attention to the fact that we see two different gestures at work in the graphics of these arcana. The one, very pure and assured, proof of a great mastery, and the other very "apprentice"! Throughout the year of work on, and daily contemplation of these images, I had the distinct impression that here was the last work of an accomplished master, but one who, through age or illness or both, was unable to produce the entire work himself. Certain images seem to have been completed, or entirely drawn, by someone extremely conscientious and totally exact as far as details are concerned, but nevertheless lacking the graphic talent of his master. I believe the Devil, the World and the Wheel of Fortune fall into this category.

Cosmos, Chaosmos and Astrology


Bernadette Brady - 2014
    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.
