[Brian · Rating 4 out of 5]

The contributors to this collection apply learned scholarship and often unexpectedly insightful exegesis to the texts and methods of ancient and early-modern astrologies, recapturing and renovating the context of operative magic which these traditions presupposed, and propose novel transpositions by which they might be reincorporated into contemporary life and practice.
