The Science Of Foreknowledge

The Science Of Foreknowledge

The following pages are intended to bring some of the more recondite and controversial aspects of the Science of Foreknowledge into discussion and, further, to supply a great deal of abstruse information not otherwise accessible to the student. That there are problems yet before the student of Astrology and matters which cannot be determined out of hand save by a direct appeal to the facts of experience, should serve to prove that the subject treated of is not immersed in that haze of superstition to which irresponsible writers, ignorant alike of the principles and teachings of Astrology, have been wont to consign it. It is hoped that the large variety of subjects dealt with in the course of this work will not obscure the main object to which it is directed-namely, the affirmation from experience of a veritable Science of Cosmical Interpretation, as fully deserving of study and recognition as is the science of astronomy from which it springs. For the rest, I am content to leave my work in the hands of those who are qualified to appreciate and to criticize it. SEPHARIAL London, 1918

About the author

Dr Walter Gorn Old (1864-1929) was an eminent English Theosophist, and a notable 19th century mystic and astrologer, better known as Sepharial. He initially studied medicine and followed this up with studies in psychology, oriental languages, astrology and numeurology. In 1886 he started to write an astrology problem page in the Society Times, where he answered the public's questions, and in 1887 at the age of just 23 was admitted to the "inner sanctum" of the Theosophical Society. He was editor of Old Moore's Almanac, which is still published in the 21st century. He was one of the founder members of the Theosophical movement in England. He became a very influential author in the fields of the occult, astrology and numeurology. He can be credited as the first astrologer to use Earth's "dark moon" Lilith in his calculations. His works include: Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolised (with Charubel aka John Thomas) (1898), New Manual of Astrology (1898), The Book of the Simple Way (1904) and The Kabala of Numbers (1913).
