Here are some more questions/thoughts while I'm at it. Some people claim that it is a natural anti-depressant (at least the sativa strain), so could it be a solar and/or Jupiterian herb, used in order to balance out Saturn and melancholy? Also, I have at least one friend who has a medical presciptio...

marijuana and traditional medicine Hi all, I am interested to know what all you traditional astrologers think about marijuana, which planet and/or planets rule it, and so on. I am interested for a number of reasons. I noticed that it is not mentioned as an "herb" in Lilly's "Christian Astrology," which kind of sur...

tobacco and alcohol as medicine... Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of how tobacco and alcohol were used as medicine at one time, for I was looking at the workshops at the recent ABA astrological conference in Serbia and I noticed that Oskar Hoffman (traditional astrologer trained under John Frawley) lead a discussion ...

Statistical studies in astrology are a waste of time... Hi all, This is mostly a response to the topic underneath it that Garry P. just responded to, but I created a new topic because I thought the heading would draw more attention to itself. In terms of scientific testing of astrology, I think John Frawley really explained best why this is impossible in...

"The History of the Horoscope" Hello all, Has anyone checked out David Ovason's "The History of the Horoscope," which just came out in the last year or so? I briefly flipped through it at a local bookstore recently and it looked fairly detailed. Has anyone looked at the book, and is it a helpful addition to the traditio...

Thanks, Sue Hi Sue, Thanks for the quick reply and recommendation. I will definitely take it. Now for the other question, though, to forum members: Who has read Alkindi's "On the stellar rays"? I know that some of you must have, for he is supposed to be one of the best "theoriticans of the magica...

Marsilio Ficino's "The Book of Life" + Alkindi Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you have read "The Book of Life"? If so, do you think it is a worthwhile book for the student of astrology? I just realized I have a copy of the Charles Boer translation, which apparently some people, including Christopher Warnock, are critical of....

Clearer translation of Morin's "Cabal... Hi Everyone, I was just looking at Morin's "Cabal of the 12 astrological houses" available through a website on the links page of this site. It looks like a very worthwhile treatise to read, in the sense of deepening one's understanding of the houses. However, it is not written in contempo...

Thanks Deb Hi Deb, Thanks for commenting on the Appleby book. I was worried that people were not replying because they disliked it, and they did not want to be rude. I was actually going to bring it up again tonight or tomorrow, and say that it is ok to say one does not like it, for Derek Appleby is no longer ...

Jupiter's twelve year cycle and spiritual apprenticeship Hi everyone, Recently I was reading a book called "The truth is," which is a compilation of spontaneous "satsangs" (the meaning of which is something like "association with the truth") with the spiritual teacher H.W.L Poonja. The satsangs were compiled by some of his st...
