A History of Astrology, Divination and Prophecy traces the journey of astrology from its roots in the 3rd century BCE, when ancient Mesopotamians studied celestial bodies with the aim of predicting the future, through its development into the distinct branches of Eastern astrology, Indian (Vedic) astrology, and Western astrology that we know today.
Discover the stories of influential and learned seers, from the oracles of Ancient Greece to the 16th-century French philosopher and mystic Nostradamus. And explore how our fear of and fascination with astrology, divination, prediction, and prophecy have been depicted in art and literature.
In this enchanting book, you will find:
- A complete global history of the subject – from Feng shui and necromancy to the Age of Aquarius and astrocartography
- More than 350 stunning full-colour images combined with engaging and accessible text, with fascinating feature boxes with additional information and biographies of key figures
- Simple “how-to” instructions on the best known forms of divination – from how to read rune stones and the Tarot, to palmistry, numerology, and using the I Ching
The most comprehensive illustrated history of astrology ever produced, A History of Astrology, Divination and Prophecy will intrigue and inspire you in equal measure – whether you are completely new to the subject, or already a practitioner.
