Astrology. The Library of Esoterica

€43.90

From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to ancient Mesopotamia.
Edited by Jessica Hundley, this vibrant visual history of Western astrology is the first ever compendium of its kind, exploring the symbolic meaning behind more than 400 images, from Egyptian temples and illuminated manuscripts to contemporary art from across the globe. Works by artists from Alphonese Mucha and Hilma af Klint to Arpita Singh and Manzel Bowman are sequenced to mirror the spin of the planets and the wheel of the zodiac. With a foreword by legendary astrologer Susan Miller and wisdom from new interviews with astrologers like Robert Hand, Jessica Lanyadoo, and Mecca Woods, Astrology celebrates the stars and their mysterious influence on our everyday lives.

Kopš cilvēces vēstures sākuma cilvēki dažādās kultūrās un uzskatu sistēmās ir meklējuši jēgu debesīs. Debess ķermeņu kustība un to saistība ar mūsu dzīvi ir bijusi astroloģijas centrālais notikums tūkstošiem gadu. Prakse ir gan iedvesmojusi godbijību un pielūgsmi, gan padziļinājusi mūsu izpratni par sevi un apkārtējo pasauli.

Lai gan mūsdienu horoskopi var būt vispazīstamākais astroloģisko zināšanu veids, to izcelsme sniedzas pat senajā Mezopotāmijā.
Šī dinamiskā Rietumu astroloģijas vizuālā vēsture, ko rediģējusi Džesika Hundlija, ir pirmais šāda veida apkopojums, kurā tiek pētīta vairāk nekā 400 attēlu simboliskā nozīme, sākot no Ēģiptes tempļiem un izgaismotiem manuskriptiem līdz mūsdienu mākslai no visas pasaules. Tādu mākslinieku darbi kā Alfonēzs Muča, Hilma af Klinta, Arpita Singha, Manzels Boumens ir iekļauti, lai atspoguļotu planētu griešanos un zodiaka ratu. Ar leģendārās astroloģes Sjūzenas Milleres priekšvārdu un gudrībām no jaunām intervijām ar tādiem astrologiem kā Roberts Hends, Džesika Lanjadū un Meka Vudsa, astroloģija atzīmē zvaigznes un to noslēpumaino ietekmi uz mūsu ikdienas dzīvi.
