About This Item
1884 ASTROLOGY Zodiac Astronomy Constellations Lilly Zadkiel Esoteric Occult
"An Introduction to Astrology" is a revitalized edition of William Lilly's 17th-century work, "Christian Astrology," meticulously adapted by Richard James Morrison, under his penname, Zadkiel. Morrison, with his extensive experience in astrology, infuses the text with contemporary insights while preserving Lilly's classical approach, aiming to foster a more informed and unbiased understanding of astrological science. The book, with its comprehensive coverage, includes a "Grammar of Astrology" and "Tables for Calculating Nativities," catering to all practitioners. Zadkiel challenges prevailing skepticism, urging readers to personally explore and test the principles of astrology, thereby ensuring that their opinions are grounded in experience and knowledge rather than preconceived notions. Zadkiel's work advocated for the practice of astrology as a tool for personal and societal insight.
This work is highly rare in any edition with less than 200 copies remaining in recorded existence worldwide!
