About perfumes, herbs, temperaments

May 22, 2009

A while ago I had the opportunity of visiting in Rome a true factory of perfumes of antiquity with its products: the factory of Pyrgos in the southern part of the island of Cyprus. The myth tells us about Venus, the goddess of beauty and love: when she arose from the foam of the sea, the [...]

the sabbath of the witches of Benevento

April 1, 2009

With the rain and with the wind under the Benevento’s tree (ancient spell) If every nation has its own witches and devils, the story says from every angle of the world these wicked souls meet under the walnut of Benevento, an ancient city between the mountains of Sannio, in the heart of southern Italy. Romans called this [...]

The black legend about Caterina de Medici depicts her as a wicked woman, adept to black magic and every kind of sorcery in order to keep the power and the throne, and i found this story in several astrological sites too. Alexandre Dumas writes in his wonderful novel “La reine Margot” about her

Cardano on fixed stars in De iudiciis geniturarum (1547)

Stars at the border of Sagittarius, the three ones of third magnitude near or over the arrow, have a great influence in producing murderers. If they are well disposed they make heroes, men of war, tribunes, judges, responsible for other people's death; if ill disposed, they make wardens, subordinate

ABOUT STARS RISING WITH THE 12 SIGNS ACCORDING ALBUMASAR GREAT INTRODUCTION

Stars rising with portions of ecliptic, the so-called paranatellonta, have a central place in traditional astrology. Ancient texts give a lot of room to this subject, Manilius dedicated to paranatellonta the whole fifth book of his Astronomica, Firmicus lists them in two of the eight books of Mat

Some personal notes

A THIEF called ANTON GRIGORYEV Caesar divorced Pompeia at once, but when he was summoned to testify at the trial, he said he knew nothing about the matters with which Clodius was charged. His statement appeared strange, and the prosecutor therefore asked, "Why, then, didst thou divorce thy wife?"

A short guide to Ptolemaic primary directions

Reading here and there I see that primary directions are seen as very difficult and occult. It is not like that. Ideas which are behind are very easy to grasp, and modern software can do all the calculation for us: on the other hand people who have learned them generally use them as a way to show ho

The astronomy of primum mobile: Placidean directions under the pole

MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE MUSIC

Music in the Middle Ages and Renaissance is music for life, the sound of work, war, happiness, sadness, love, prayer. [vimeo 2654494] The Litaniae Sanctorum are one of the oldest prayers of the Church. They were established by Gregorius the Great in 590 AD to stop the plague. A medieval legend

Stade on Fixed stars

Fixed stars have a prominent part in traditional astrology: Ptolemy in the first book of Tetrabiblos lists them without giving any meaning, but we have several alternative sources for them, Manilius and Firmicus in the Latin world, Anonymous of 379 and two chapters from Liber Hermetis in the
