Astrology – A Visual Journey Through History
The second volume in the TASCHEN Library of Esotericism series takes you on a fascinating journey into the world of astrology. With over 400 illustrations, the book offers a comprehensive insight into the visual and historical development of this ancient practice. From cave paintings and ancient manuscripts to modern art : discover how the observation of the stars and the signs of the zodiac has influenced people's lives for thousands of years and continues to do so.
Andrea Richards tells how astrology and astronomy were once sister sciences that only separated with the Enlightenment. Whether in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid , the observatories of the Persians or in the horoscopes of Galileo Galilei - astrology has firmly established its place in history. The book also shows how artists and thinkers such as Goethe , Blake and the Theosophists were inspired by this practice and how it returned to the mainstream through the New Age movement .
Complemented by interviews with contemporary astrologers such as Jessica Lanydoo and Pam Younghans , this work is a celebration of the stars and their mysterious influences on daily life. Edited by Jessica Hundley and with text by Andrea Richards , this book guides you through the complex symbolism and history of astrology.
