Book SynopsisAt the core of modern pagan witchcraft is a knowledge system concerning traditions of nature, connection, and embodiment to the astrological planets. Throughout magical history, practitioners of magic have looked to the planets for inspiration and magical help. From the earliest beginnings of written magical texts - the Grimoires - magical systems were based on the seven planetary powers that were visible in the night sky. The Grimoires were then studied by practitioners of folk-magic - the Cunning Folk - and by influential groups from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn to practitioners of Modern witchcraft. Pagan Portals: Planetary Magic is an accessible and practical introduction to pre-modern planetary magic. It details with each of the planets, what its magical qualities are, and how to work practical magic with each.

Book SynopsisAn examination of the waxing and waning influence of demoted planets • Explains in detail how the demotion or proved nonexistence of a planet marks the beginning of a roughly 30-year period in which that planet’s influence wanes • Explores Pluto’s arc of influence on individual and collective life in depth, from its discovery in 1930 to the end of its influence in 2036 • Offers examples from other demoted planets, such as Ceres, whose fifty-year reign as a planet corresponds very closely to the Romantic Era of history Recent research in astrology has shown that the discovery of a new planet correlates with the emergence of a new set of influences in individual and collective life. As John Michael Greer reveals, the opposite is also true: the demotion of a planet correlates with the decline of a set of influences into the background. Although there are several instances of this over the last two centuries, Pluto, downgraded to minor planet status in 2006, is the most striking example. Exploring the waxing and waning of planetary influences in astrology, Pluto in particular, Greer explains in detail how the demotion or proved nonexistence of a planet marks the beginning of a roughly 30-year period in which that planet’s influence fades out. He examines several examples of planet demotion, including Ceres, whose fifty-year reign as a planet corresponds closely to the Romantic Era of history. Ceres’s influence began to take shape some 30 years before its discovery in 1801 and gradually faded over the three decades following its demotion in the 1850s. Examining Pluto’s astrological influence in depth, from the beginning of the search for “Planet X” in 1900 to the end of its influence in 2036, the author shows how during the Plutonian era the concept of cosmos--from the ancient Greek meaning “that which is beautifully ordered”--was in eclipse. Pluto’s influence led to the rejection of unity, beauty, and order, exemplified through the splitting of the atom by physicists, the splitting of the individual into conscious and subconscious halves by psychoanalysts, and the splitting of the world into warring camps by politicians. Offering an essential guide not only to the astrology of the future but to the twilight of the Plutonian era, Greer shows how as Pluto’s influence fades out in the years ahead, a great many disruptive phenomena of the recent past will fade with it and the notion of cosmos--beautiful order--will regain its traditional role in our individual and collective worlds.Trade Review“John Michael Greer is clearly a top-notch astrologer, scholar, and, like Richard Tarnas, a historian with a love of cosmic beauty. The Twilight of Pluto is not only the history of astrology but also the astrology of history. Greer brilliantly demonstrates the mirror of planet and culture, as Pluto moves from theory to discovery to planetary acceptance and then fall and demotion . . . paradigm-shifting insights! I especially appreciate his bold and positive predictions as the Plutonian era fades. Absolutely fascinating! Once I began reading I couldn’t stop.” * Frederick Hamilton Baker, astrologer and author of Alchemical Tantric Astrology *“In this relatively small volume, John Michael Greer accomplishes major feats, both intellectual and spiritual. Firstly, he has the scholarly wisdom to place planetary discoveries within the widest possible context, reminding us that the discovery of the visible planets is really the ‘Big Bang’ of Civilization. Then he masterfully applies the alchemical formula solve et coagula to break apart the more modern discoveries, purifying and distilling our understanding of them, before putting them back together into a hopeful new form, using the esoteric tools and cunning for which he’s well known. The result is medicine, in the truest sense of the word.” * Gary P.

Book SynopsisDuring the sixteenth century, no part of the Christian West saw the development of a more powerful and pervasive astrological culture than the very home of the Reformation movement--the Protestant towns of the Holy Roman Empire. While most modern approaches to the religious and social reforms of that age give scant attention to cosmological preoccupations, this study argues that astrological concepts and imagery played a key role in preparing the ground for the evangelical movement sparked by Martin Luther in the 1520s, as well as in shaping the distinctive characteristics of German evangelical culture over the following century. Spreading above all through cheap printed almanacs and prognostications, popular astrology functioned in paradoxical ways. It contributed to an enlarged and abstracted sense of the divine that led away from clericalism, sacramentalism, and the cult of the saints; at the same time, it sought to ground people more squarely in practical matters of daily life. The art gained unprecedented sanction from Luther''s closest associate, Philipp Melanchthon, whose teachings influenced generations of preachers, physicians, schoolmasters, and literate layfolk. But the apocalyptic astrology that came to prevail among evangelicals involved a perpetuation, even a strengthening, of ties between faith and cosmology, which played out in beliefs about nature and natural signs that would later appear as rank superstitions. Not until the early seventeenth century did Luther''s heirs experience a crisis of piety that forced preachers and stargazers to part ways. Astrology and Reformation illuminates an early modern outlook that was both practical and prophetic; a world that was neither traditionally enchanted nor rationally disenchanted, but quite different from the medieval world of perception it had displaced.Trade ReviewFor most sixteenth-century Lutherans, the stars were a God-given text that complemented the Bible, a text that mirrored both the divine order of the world and its imminent disintegration. Robin Barnes has argued convincingly that we cannot properly understand the historical realities of the Reformation unless we open our eyes to this aspect of their faith. * William R.

Book SynopsisAn illuminating look at the surprising history and science of astrology, civilization’s first system of algorithms, from Babylon to the present day.Trade Review"A vivid narrative... Mr. Boxer traces the ups and downs of astrology, from its vociferous condemnation by Christians to its modern-era resurgence. Along the way, we encounter statistical methodologies, the problematic art of calendar-keeping, plus a good deal of (mostly Western) cultural history." -- Alan Hirshfeld - The Wall Street Journal"Boxer applies his knowledge of statistics to some of the most enduring and fascinating patterns that astrology educed from its constant comparisons between heavenly and terrestrial events." -- Steven Vanden Broecke - Science"And with his lovely prose, Boxer makes it relatively easy to navigate—if not celestially then literarily—around the difficult bits. A journey through Boxer’s own scheme of heaven is one well worth taking." -- Katie Hafner - Washington Post"A delightful and utterly fascinating work of intellectual history." -- Joshua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein and coauthor of Atlas Obscura"Through striking diagrams and accessible explanations, Boxer shows us the impressive range of technology the ancients developed for tapping into astrology’s predictive powers. This book demonstrates how impactful astrology is in everyday life—not through the influence of the stars, but rather through its deep scientific and cultural legacy." -- Janelle Shane, author of You Look Like a Thing and I Love You"A Scheme of Heaven is a masterful synthesis—science, history, legends, literature, and an eye-opening exploration of the human penchant for pattern recognition. The book is full of wit and refreshing insight. I’ll never look at a horoscope—or the night sky—in quite the same way again." -- David Baron, author of American Eclipse"Boxer is a champion of intrepid thought. His learned book demonstrates how much we stand to gain by studying topics that just may be a little bit true. And a little truth, as Boxer shows, can change everything." -- Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award–winning author of Occult America"A fresh and original introduction to astrology’s long history and deep cultural reach. Open and inquisitive, Boxer combines the critical perspective of a modern data scientist with a historian’s sympathetic eye for telling detail.
