Product info

Since ancient times, human beings have looked to the skies to better understand life here on earth. Astrology: The Library of Esoterica explores what we know today as Western horoscopic astrology, shedding light on its history and the many ways that it has inspired artists throughout the ages. The first compendium of its kind, this book traces astrology’s history from its ancient Mesopotamian origins to its more mainstream place in our culture today. Dive deep into the evolution of this arcane practice and discover the many cultures, beliefs and scientific discoveries that have shaped it throughout the centuries. You’ll also find profiles on each planet and star sign that detail their symbols, glyphs and key characteristics, as well as illuminating insights on how to find meaning in cosmic messages. This text is interspersed amongst a vibrant collection of over four hundred celestial-inspired artworks, birthed from a wide variety of traditions and rituals. From Paleolithic cave paintings, modern-day satellite photos, psychedelic 70s-era illustrations and 15th century illustrated manuscripts to ancient Egyptian bas-relief carvings, dreamy Afrofuturist shots and paintings from the likes of Alphonse Mucha and Hilma A.F. Klimt, the imagery is diverse and yet alike in their attempts to capture the mystic. Equal parts informative and visually captivating, this tome is the perfect jumping-off point for anyone looking to begin their own journey into the esoteric.
