PREFAC E

N presenting my second volume of Occult B ibliographies to the

public, I have to thank my numerous readers for the kind

reception they have accorded my first effort on“ Rosicrucian

B ooks 5 the work is now quite out of print, and copies are only

obtainable at a premium. I hope that th is second volume will

prove even more popular than the first one, as I believe it will

appeal to a larger circle of readers.

I do not pretend that th is Catalogue is complete, but it refers

to over works, and to give some idea of the labour involved,I may say that, with the exception of a very few entries, all of

th e books herein enumerated have passed through my own hands,

so that I can vouch for th e accuracy of my description of them;it has entailed the labour ofmany years, but it has been a labourof love

,the result of my devotion to Occult S tudies, and I do

not h0pe for any profit from its sale. Should my h ealth and

means permit, I intend to issue a th ird volume on“ Alchemical

B ooks,” and some ofmy friends are sanguine enough to predict

a greater success for this than any of its predecessors have

attained ; at any rate I have endeavoured in the present volume

to render as complete as possible a work intended to embody a

catalogue of the literature of th e wh ole world in this enticing

branch of occult study, so as to place with in reach of the student

a volume of reference to a science that has laboured for manyyears under numerous shortcomings ; not the least of wh ich are the

Charlatanry and Q uackery indulged in even at the presen t day by

irresponsible quidnuncs who are all willing to supply the gaping

crowd with proph ecies to suit their taste, and ch eap love oracles

to all and sundry lads and lasses who are bold enough to seekto know what fate has in store for them.

I believe Astrology to be a true science wh en properly under

stood it dates back to a great antiquity ; the Arabians, Chaldaeans,V

vi PRE FACE

B abylonians, E gyptians, etc. , all studied it,and have left th eir

records. Astrology has gradually filtered down through numerous

channels, becoming tinged and coloured more or less with th e

personalities and characteristics of th e T ranslators and Annotators

un til the finale is reached in th e presen t age . We , in our super

lative arrogance, go one better than the Ancients, and tack on

two more planets, vz'

z .,

“Hersch el and “Neptune ,”

ousting“ Saturn and

“ Jupiter out of two of their houses to makeroom for th e new-comers

,and would it be invidious on my part

to say that th ey would be ousted in th eir turn sh ould we discover

two more planets in th e future,as is quite possible, and no one

can say wh ere it would all end , once you admit t he influence of

new -comers into our ken .

I am afraid much nonsense has been written about th e

influence of Hersch el and Neptune, and I do no t agree with

these new ideas, because very few people live long enough fo r

“Hersch el to complete th e round, eigh ty-four years being th e

time taken to complete h is cycle, a calculation publish ed only on

20th March , 186 5 (the plan et was discovered 13th March ,

With Neptune the time is longer still, so that to live through h is

cycle‘

is a still more remo te possibility for any individual life .

It is obvious that neith er of th ese planets were known to th e

Ancien ts, for o n an old mummy case in E gypt we have th e

planets arranged in order,and th e signs of th e Zodiac around

th em evenly distributed , sh ewing th eir Houses of E xaltation and

Fall 5 and again in th e old records, B ero sus (m'

a’

e Cory’s Fragments)

states that the God B el created th e S tars, Sun , Moon and Five

P lanets, thus sh ewing that in the earliest ages there were only

seven known planets corresponding to the days ,of the week, th e

septenary nature of man , and other similar correspondences.

T he modern writers have also though t fit to reject signs which

have been handed down to us from an tiquity, such as the

Dragon s Head”

and Tall and th e“ Part of Fortune. If

it is good enough for us to take up th e Science from our ancestors

at all,why reject one portion and accept another ; all the old

writers include these three factors in their writings, and they must

have had good reasons for doing so, yet our modern descendants,

in th eir superlative wisdom, reject th em and introduce two new

PRE FACE vii

planets as well, and with it all, they are none too correct in th eir

prognostications, for it is one th ing to proph ecy, and ano th er to

prophecy that which becomes realised .

In compiling this work,I have arranged

,

the titles on th e same

plan as in th e preceding one, wh ich is also th e method employed

in th e L ibrary of the B ritish Museum— via, under An tnors

, and

when one or more publications have been issued by any one

person , then they are arranged in chronological order, and are

followed (with few exceptions) by o ther editio ns in various

languages by various subsequent writers ; wh ere th is arrangement

has been deviated from I have placed cross-references.

It would be very invidious forme to say wh ich modern hand

book I consider suitable to place in a beginner’

s hands h e would

do best to select one that adheres most closely to th e old writers,

and to ignore the fanciful nonsense wh ich is fo isted upon th e

unwary, especially by Charlatans who adopt th e pseudonyms of

the old writers. I have been obliged to mention th eir works,

o th erwise my book would have been incomplete, but beyond th e

bare mention I have gone no further. Co ncerning o ne no torious

modern swindler, I have expunged his works completely, as I

would not give him a gratuitous advertisemen t at any price . I

consider it a mean and contemptible proceeding to use Occult

Arts as a method of making money, and disaster w ill assuredly

overtake anyone who does so .

In conclusion , I have to thank my old friend and teach er,

Dr. William Wynn Westco tt, for h is kindness in allowing me to

use his“Sketch of th e Origin and History of Astrology as an

Introduction to my book ; his prolonged research es and h is

knowledge of Astrology and of th e other Occult Sciences are well

known .

THE HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY

HE nations of the ancient world were all more or less of

Opinion that the movements of th e heavenly bodies, the

occurrence of eclipses, and the appearance of comets exercised an

influence over th e fate of the human race, and th e destinies of

men . T hey feared the extraordinary manifestations of th e sky,

and saw portents destined for their instruction in th e eclipses of

the sun and moon , and in notable conjunctions of the planets.

E clipses of the sun especially, wh ich caused a temporary darkness,seemed to them to be warnings of the anger of their gods, and

signsof coming punishment.

T he Greeks and the earlier Romans do not appear, so far as

Greeks and Roman literature can show,to have practised, studied,

or taugh t any original system,of wh ich the astronomic observa

tions were used for purposes of astrologic divination ; th is line of

though t seems rath er to have had its origin among the Chaldeans

of B abylonia, from whom it came to the notice of the more

Western nations after the travels and wars of Alexander the

Great.

T he Greek ph ilosoph ers did not readily adopt astrologic ideals,

but professors of th e Chaldean magical art of Astrology spread

among them,and we find astrological notions become notable

in th e later years of th e Roman Republic, and were well markedin the curious jumble of E astern and Western science which

existed in the third and fourth centuries of our era.

T he Greeks made a considerable study of Astronomy, and so

were in a position to understand the claims made by the

Chaldeans for th eir views of the influence of the stars upon

human destinies. Having learned th e elements of the strange

astrologic doctrines, th e later Greeks sough t for references to

th em in their own earlier writers ; and especially in the venerableworks of Homer and Hesiod, possibly because they disliked to

ix

HI S TOR Y OF AS TR OL OG Y

acknowledge that any sort of learning was no t in th e possession

of their ancestors.

SO far as can be judged the deities of th e early Greeks were

no t closely related to th e Sun and Planets,alth ough the later

Greeks iden tified th eir Apollo w ith Helios th e Sun ,and Artemis

with th e Moon . T h e earlier Greeks looked upon the Sun as

driving h is chariot through th e sky, but th e sun was no t an

Olympian God , and held a minor rank in the earliest Pantheon .

Venus, the planet, was called Hesperus, as th e evening star,and

there was the morning star B osphorus, but it was no t un til th e

time at any rate Of Pythagoras, circa 6 1 2 B .C . , that they were

considered to be the same heavenly body. It has been asserted

by Miiller, the German savant, in h is treatise on Mythology, that

th e astronomical Greek myth s were few , and they were not

closely related to their religion .

In the Iliad of Homer, neith er th e Sun nor Moon is spokenof as driving a chario t, but in the Odyssey Aurora, th e Dawn is

so described .

According to th e much later Roman author Manilius, the

chariot of th e Sun had four horses, and th e chariot of th e Moon

only two .

Aristo tle is the earliest writer whose works are extant in Greek ,

wh o mentions th e circle of th e Z odiac. E uripides, h owever,

Speaks of Hippo , daugh ter of Ch iron , as being able to divine

future even ts by means of observations of th e stars.

It is of course true that recen t writers on Greek myth s have

asserted relations between the incidents of th ese myth s and astro

nomical facts, and have explain ed that Greek and Roman religious

ideals were ,connected with th e worship of th e Sun ,

Moon , and

S tars.

T he probably myth ical Orpheus is said to have first taugh t

Astron omy to the Greeks.

T h ere are th ree lands wh ich con test th e claim to the earliest

astronomical observations, E gypt, India, and the Akkadian empire

of uncertain area, to wh ich succeeded th e B abylonian civilization

w ith w h ich the Chaldeans and Hebrews w ere later associated .

Ch ina also postulates a claim to an unknown antiquity for its

astro nomic learning, and Astrology has always flourished among

HISTORY OF ASTROLOG Y xi

the Chinese. T here are really no data yet discovered wh ich can

pro ve wh ich land was th e source of Astronomy ; most probablythe study was undertaken no t only separately, but at much the

same early period .

T h e Akkadian or pre-Chaldean civilization is only of recent

discovery, and has been Obtained from studies of excavations in

the regions of B abylo nia.

From literary evidence derived from an tiquity w e have some

proofs of very early astronomic observations made by all th ese

ancient nations. T h e old Greek and Roman authors refer the

source of Astronomy variously to E gypt, to Chaldea, and to

Persia, and th e papyri recently discovered in E gypt also show

astronomical allusions ; wh ile of course the pyramids of E gypt

and th e towers of B abylonia have led students to postulate that

their builders possessed a deep astronomic knowledge . Modern

researches into Sanscrit literature have also led studen ts of E astern

lore to th e belief that the inhabitan ts of India in th e earliest

times must have made long and accurate observations of the

h eavenly bodies.

According to Isaac Meyer there is reason to th ink that

the Akkadian Observations of the stars date back to about43 10 B .C . , wh en th e Vernal E quinox occurred in the sign of

T aurus.

T h e earliest allusion to actual divination by th e stars in

Greek literature is found in th e “ T imaeus of Plato . E udoxus

became acquain ted with Chaldean Astrology.

Diodorus th e h istorian,wh o flourish ed about 30 B .C. , states

that th e Chaldeans foretold th e death of An tigo nus in 3 1 5 B .C .

Vitruvius states that Astrology was introduced in to Greece by

B erosus, who settled in Cos, and h eld a school there . B erosus

was a Chaldean and was a con temporary of Alexander the Great.

From h is time Astrology became naturaliz ed among the Greeks.

It was much cultivated by th e Stoic ph ilosophers.

From Greece th e study passed naturally to Italy and to

Rome. Cato th e E lder refers to it.

Cneius Octavius had an astrologic figure found on h is person

wh en h e was slain in th e days of Marius.

Sylla was advised by th e Chaldeans. Cicero speaks of divina

xii HISTOR Y OF ASTROLOG Y

tion received by Pompey and Crassus. L ucian also states that

Julius Caesar noted the revolutions of the stars.

N igidius Figulus was famous as an astrologer in the later

years of th e Roman Republic, and foretold the supremacy of

Augustus Caesar.

T hese Roman astrologers became generally known as Chaldeans,

whether they were Greeks or Italians ; they rose to the zenith of

fame in the early century of the Empire, but later were restrained

by legal decisions, from the overt practice of their Art.

T h eogenes, a citiz en of Apollonia, was consulted by Augustus

Caesar.

T hrasyllus was the astrologer of T iberius Caesar ; h is son was

consulted by Nero .

Ptolomaeus advised Otho , and Seleneus gave warnings to

Vespasian . T hese facts are narrated by th e h istorian T acitus.

T he astrologer Heliodorus was the adviser of the Emperor

Valens.

Juvenal mentions the astrologers on several occasions.

T he early Christian fath ers all condemned judicial astrology,

among th ese T ertullian, Augustine and Isidorus were most

famous.

Apart from mythological fancies, th e first man of whom it

can be proved that h e had astronomical knowledge is T hales, a

citiz en of Miletus, and th e founder of the Ionic system of

ph ilosophy ; he died about 5 46 B .C. He predicted an eclipse,

the horrid darkness of which stopped a battle between the Medes

under Cyaxares, and the L ydians led by Alyattes.

He was believed to have gained h is knowledge of th e h eavenly

bodies from E gyptian sources ; Josephus and Plutarch both say h e

went to E gypt to study astronomy.

T h e Greeks seem to have recognised a meteorologic astrology,

but not‘

a divinatory form. T he ch ief outflow of Chaldean lore

over Greece was during the first three centuries before Christ.

T he Greek ph ilosoph ers had good reasons for adopting its notions

first, because their Oracles had ceased to speak and th ey needed

an alternative mode of divine guidance. Secondly, they approved

of th e idea of a personal genius for each man , and so tookkindly to the astrological ideal of a planetary guardiansh ip and

HISTOR Y OF ASTROLOG Y xiii

influence ; and lastly, as many Greeks taugh t that the souls of

great men became stars, so many stars must have a relation to

men still living on earth ; th is idea especially was related to th e

stars of the V ia L actea or Milky Way. T h e poet Manilius has

left some verses on th is subject.T h e astrology of the f

-

early Romans was an intricate and

difficult study ; its professors were called th e Mathematici. From

th eir time throughout th e years even to Kepler, who died 1630,

it may be said that every astronomer was also an astrologer to

some extent. From h is time th e tendency to renounce astrologic

claims has continually increased , until at th e present day it is

rare to find an astronomer of position who acknowledges any

faith in prediction or in diagnosis of character from the position

of the planets at birth of any man , and still less will h e believein the processes called Horary Astrology, or th e judgments of

Fate derived from figures of the sky drawn for th e time of th e

special event, or for th e time of asking th e question .

T o return to th e origins of h istory, we find references to astro

logic notions in th e civilizations of B abylon and Chaldea, on th e

banks of th e Ganges of India, on the Nile of E gypt, and also

in T uranian Chinese h istory. From Chaldea Astrology came to

Persia and Asia Minor, to Greek culture,to Roman cities, and to

th e Jews who overspread all th ese parts after the destruction of

Jerusalem.

It is said that the Arabs knew of th e science even before th e

days,

of Mohammed the Saracens carried it to Spain about

7 1 1 A.D. and the Moors from North Africa brough t it afresh to

Western E urope by th eir invasion of Spain in 1 23 7 . From th e

seven th to the th irteenth century the minds of th ese Arabiandescended conquerors in E urope were filled with astrologic notions

we have h eard of the great renown of Messalah,Albumazar

,

Almanseer, E l B atani and Ibn Yunis.

Our E nglish Astrology comes from two sources, direct from

th e E ast, and from th e Moors through Spain about 1 200 ; but it

is only from th e time of the invention of printing that we have

many records of th e science. Some of the earliest volumes

treating of Astrology are almost as complete in many points as

our treatises written to-day, and most astrological authors of the

xiv HISTOR Y OF ASTROLOG Y

last two hundred years have merely copied one from another ;

even in our own times the most recent books tell us little morethan do th e works of L illy, Gadbury, Salmon

,Heydon and

Coley .

One recent new departure may be no ted , by W. G . Old , who

has introduced a mode of rectifying nativities by the Pre-Natal

E poch ; wh ich h e claims to be more accurate than the old

meth ods of th e Animodar Of Ptolemy, and th e T rutine of

Hermes. T he pseudonymous Raphael has also devised a system

of reckoning primary and secondary Directions differing from

that of Zadkiel’s L illy.

Q uo ting, we presume, from T almudic tradition , Josephus, th e

h istorian of the Jews, asserts that Adam was instructed by divine

inspiration in Astrology, and that h is son Seth practised th e art.

He wro te about A .D. 66 . T he an nals of the O ttoman Empire ,and th e h istory of th e Mohammedan rulers in Asia

, Africa and

Spain , teem with narratives of astrological predictions, and super

natural warnings wh ich h elped to arouse the enthusiasm of th ese

hardy and superstitious warriors. Osman th e First,the founder

of the O ttoman Empire in 1 2 99 , is said to have been much

guided by a sheik who professed Astro logy . T imour or T amerlane ,

th e T artar Ch ief, was induced to make war with B ajaz et, the

Sultan of T urkey about th e year 1400 , by w arning received by

the Astrologer Abdullah L issau, and defeated h im, as had beenforetold .

T he sudden death of Murad th e Second about 14 5 1, who was

a Sultan of T urkey, and in good h ealth , was proph esied by th e

astrologic divination of a dervish h e died three days after.

T h e glories of the reign of Mohammed th e Second was fore

told by the astrologers ; h e ruled from 145 2 to 1480 ; be it was

wh o took Constantinople. An astrologer foreto ld with correctness

the fates of Selim the First,1 5 20 , and of h is son Suleyman who

was born in 900th year Of the Hegira. In th e reign of Selim

the Second , 1 5 7 2 , th ere appeared a comet, regarding wh ich the

astrologers proph esied great floods, wh ich subsequently occurred ,

causing immense damage to th ree cities.

Mohammed th e T h ird received a prophecy from a dervish

that h e would die in fifty-six days, and it so happened in 1603 .

HI S TOR Y OF ASTROLOGY

Murad the Fourth was warned by a sh eik astrologer in 1 640

that h e would have an unpropitious fate at an early date, and

he did die according to th e terms Of th e warning in 1 640 .

We possess a record of a celebrated astrologer, Giamasp, sur

named Al Hakim the Wise, a physician who flourished in the

reign of King Darius Hystaspes of Persia, about 5 00 B .C. He is

said to have foretold th e coming of Jesus, the future founding

of a great religion by Mahomet, and that th e Magian faith

should be abandoned ; see the classic work of Dr. Hyde on th e

ancient Persian s.

T he Old T estament has several references to astrology, and to

soo thsayers who judged of human events, divining th em by the

stars. T hese refer to th e Chaldean ph ilosophers, wh o were called

Magi. Consult th ese references — Isaiah xlvii. 1 3 :“ L et now th e

astrologers stand up, and save thee from these th ings.

”Daniel

i. 20 : T he King found Daniel better than all th e astrologers in

h is realm. Daniel 11. 2 7 : Daniel asks th e King if the astro

nomers cannot show the secret to th e King. Daniel iv. 7 : T h e

astrologers failed to explain a dream. Daniel v . 7 , 1 1 : T he

King calls on th e astrologers to explain a writing. Genesis xli.

8 : T he magicians are called on to explain a dream of Pharaoh .

In th e N ew T estament,consult —Acts xix. 19 : Men who

possessed curious books burned them before Paul.

As regards Divination in general, th is magical art is repte

sen ted by three Hebrew words—Maquesem,Kasiphim, and

L achash . In Numbers xxii. 7 , th e E lders of Moab and of

Midian/

have rewards for Divination . In Deuteronomy xviii.

9- 10

, Diviners are condemned, and th e Jews are to consider

th em as an abomination . In E z ekiel xii. 24, the L ord denies

the use of Divination to th e people of Israel. In E zekiel xiii.

7 , 23 , Diviners.

are forbidden .

In th e N ew T estament we find a no te in Acts xv1. 1 6 : A

damsel has powers of divination ,she brough t h er masters much

money ; Paul cast out the spirit, and sh e lost her powers.

In the B ible th ere are many references to th e stars, planets

and Zodiac. Maz zaro th is a word found in Job xxxviii. 3 2 , and

is now believed to refer to th e S igns of th e Zodiac . Genesis

i. 14 :“ L et th e ligh ts of the firmament be for signs.

f’

i HISTOR Y OF ASTROLOG Y

Deuteronomy xxxiii. 14 :“ B lessed be th e L ord for th e precious

th ings put forth by the moon .

”T h e Pleiades, called Kimah , and

th e constellation Orion , as Kesib, are found mentioned in Job

ix. 9 . Orion appears to have been also a name applied to

Nimrod the migh ty hunter ruler.

Amos v. 8 speaks of the seven stars, and Orion .

T he name Arcturus, called Ash and Aish , is believed by some

to be th e stars of U rsa major, and not the star now so called .

In Job xxxviii. 3 2 , Arcturus and h is sons are referred to .

Jupiter, as Z eus, eith er as pagan god, or as a planet, is

referred to in Acts xiv. 1 2 ; and in 2 Maccabee vi. 2, we read

that An tiochus sent to the Jews a message that th e Holy T emple

was to be dedicated to Jupiter Olympus.

In Judges v. 20 we read :“ T h e stars in their courses fough t

against Sisera”; wh ich seems to imply an astrologic ideal of

stellar influence over th e fates of men .

L ucifer, th e morning star or planet wh ich paled before the

rising sun , and in Hebrew called Hilal, was the Greek E osphoros.

T h is name was not applied to Satan until Jerome so used it ;

Milton adopted it. T he Moon was called Irak and L evanah ,

or L abanah , and was considered the ruler of nigh t.

T he Sun was named Shemesh , and Chamah , and Cheres ;

and was called the ruler of day.

T h e Hebrew word for star in general was Kukab, but th is

word was also applied to the planet Venus, especially by th e

Kabalistic rabbis of the middle ages.

I may mention a few notable astrologers individually

Claudius Ptolemy lived at Alexandria in E gypt, the great

centre of learning in the first century, A.D. His works illustratedone of the earlier systems of Astronomy, wh ich have come down

to us, and many astrological treatises are extant which hear h is

name. He was th e eminent student who rescued the laboursof Hipparchus, who lived 200 years before him,

from oblivion .

His most famous volume is the “Almagest, and from th is worklater authors have largely extracted the treatises called

“T etrabiblosand Q uadripartite, or the Four B ooks of Astrology. T here is

a L atin edition, printed at Basle in 1 5 5 1 , still to be found in

a few libraries.

iii HISTOR Y OF ASTROLOG Y

by thieves in h is house—th ey stabbed h im. He wrote“De

coelo et terra, libri 3 , Venice, 1 5 73 .

Nostradamus (Michel de Notre Dame) was one of th e most

famous astrologers of France ; h e was the physician of KingHenry the Second, and became especially no table about 1 5 5 5 .

His astrologic proph esies were written in a th ousand stanzas of

four lines each . Catherine de Medicis made h im h er special

favourite . He died in 1 5 66 as physician to King Charles the

Ninth ; the best edition of h is “ Proph ecies”

is that of

Amsterdam,1668 .

Antiochus T ibertus flourished in the Romagna of Italy in the

fifteenth century, and was astrologer to Prince Malatesta of

Rimini.

E lias Ashmole, ofOxford, th e famous antiquarian , speaks of the

Annual Astrologers’ Feast, and mentions th e Rev. M . B utler,

Saunders, T own Clerk of L ondon T homas Vaughan , Sir E dmund

Dering, and William B ackhouse as noted astrologers.

T he astrologic works of William L illy are still consulted ;

h e was born in 1602 . He was a great admirer of the“ Ars

Notoria of Agrippa. He published an astrological almanac

from 1 644 un til h is death in 1 68 1 . In 16 5 1 he issued two

h ieroglyph ical pictures, one of a scen e of epidemic death s, and

th e other of a great fire seen from L ondon B ridge . T hese events

happened fifteen years after, in 1 66 5 and 1 666, and h e even fell

under suspicion of having been privy to th e cause of th e Great

Fire of L ondon . King Charles th e First also consulted L illy

when imprisoned in Carisbrooke Castle in 1647 , and was

advised to travel eastward for safety, but instead h e journeyedto th e West, with unfortunate results. At th e end of William

L illy’s

“Christian Astrology, edition 1647 , there is a valuable

catalogue of astrological books.

John Gadbury was a pupil of William L illy. He becamea famous astrologer and publish ed a series of almanacs ; h e died

in 1 69 1 He publish ed h is “ Genethlialogia, or Doctrine of

Nativities,in 1 6 5 8 ;

“ Celestial Ambassador,” 1 6 5 6“ Nativity

of King Charles th e First,”in 16 5 9 , and th e

“Nature of

Prodigies in 1 660 .

Francis B arrett was th e auth or of “ T h e Magus, published in

HISTOR Y OF ASTROLOG Y xix

L ondon in 1 80 1 ; it is"

a compendium of the occult lore of h is

time . T he printing of th e Hebrew words teems with errors.

In 1 828 there appeared“ T he Manual of Astrology, by

Raphael, which contains coloured prophetic pictures ; it is a

sound and compreh ensive astrological treatise .

“ T h e Familiar Astrologer,”

1849 , and“ T h e Astrologer of th e

Nineteenth Century, 182 5 , were also published by th is anonymousastrologer.

It has been asserted that Sir Isaac Newton began h is study

of astronomy on accoun t of the interest wh ich astrological

books had aroused in h is mind . He was born in L incolnsh ire

on December 2 5 (old style) , 1 642 ; h e showed from th e laws

formulated by Kepler th e nature of the forces which conduct

the planets in their courses.

T he astronomical labours of T ycho B rahe, who died 1 60 1 ,

were largely tinctured by astrological ideas ; h e foretold truly

events that happened to Caspar Peucer, the son -in -law of

Melancth on , and,in afamous oration ,

delivered by order of the

King in 1 5 74, h e dwelt on th e importance of th e art ; again , h e

drew up the horoscope of the King’s eldest son ,

Prince

Christian , in h is birth in 1 5 7 7 , and h is successor, Kepler, wh o

died in 1 630, was also a student of the works of th e old

astrologers.

Geronimo Cardan , born at Paris in 1 5 0 1 , has left a large

number of volumes wh ich testify to h is researches into th e

laws of astrology ; h e was both an M .A. and an MD .

A very sympathetic reference to Astrology as th e forerunner

of astronomy will be found in “Old and N ew Astronomy

”by

Richard/

A. Proctor, L ondon , 189 2 . He says—“None of the

races of antiquity rose aoooe a certain level of civilization w ithout

developing a belief in th e influences of th e h eavenly bodies, and

with out devising systems for reading and ruling the planets.

”

According to L alande it was not until th e time of Saint

Clement of Alexandria in the second century, that Natural becamedistinguish ed from Judicial astrology, and Astronomy from

Astrology.

Astrology th en has been a science from th e earliest times, and

eminent men of all ages have either made it a study, or have

xx HI S TOR Y OF AS TROL OGY

sought th e advice of astrologers. Its attractiveness has led manymen to a serious study of astronomy, a more tangible science,

which has developed in to enormous importance. T hat Astronomyhas supplanted Astrology is certain , and yet astrological ideals are

still very much of interest to a great number of people. T he

h ope of a possible science of knowing th e unknown is doubtlessat the root of the matter. Man is always seeking to know what

is hidden , and th e renewed interest in all forms of occult science

is one of th e ph enomena of our own times.

Men and women are no longer persecuted for occult learning,

but th ey are still subject to mild rebuke and some public sligh ts,

if they openly avow a hOpe of the possibility of any form of

divination—a proceeding condemned by the Christian faith .

T h is objection is made ligh t of by many students, becausehistory sh ows that all forms of even recognised science were at

one time condemned by th e Church ; they have not forgotten

the persecutions of Galileo . It is still an open question whether

th ere is any stellar or planetary influence upon man , beyond the

recognised action of the sun and moon . All other h eavenly

bodies are certainly very far off and have hardly any appreciable

physical action upon our earth and must have still less on

individual man . Still gradation of influence is more in keepingwith nature

’s laws than is abrupt termination or absence of

influence. Occasional successful astrological results point to the

existence of a basis of truth in the science, but frequent errors

made by its most noted professors certainly show that th e rules

of Astrology are still far from being accurate. U ntil modern

science can show th e astrologer, by some ultra-astrological explana

tion , why some of h is results have been correct, the astrologers

may claim to believe that th e methods and principles of divinationhave some basis in ’

the workings of nature.

sh ortly before h is death wh ich occurred in the same year, wh en RAPHAELNO. II . [ 01mPalmer, undertook its editing .

It would appear that th ere w ere two issues of th e PrOph etic Messenger for1833 , one publish ed by W. C. Wrigh t, w h o had done so from its commencement ; and the o ther publish ed by J . Dcnley (the famous booksellerreferred to by S ir B ulw er Ly tton in th e preface to h is w ork Zanoni) , th islatter issue was published anonymously , but its reputed author gives hisHoroscope th erein under the title ofD IXON , B ORN MARCH 28, 1795 , 8 . 5 8

P . Moody as Messenger to the House of Commons it w ould appear

fromh is accoun t that th ese two young men h ad approached Mr. Smith '

s

w idow ,and sh e h ad accepted th e1r services to write th e Proph eticMessengerfor 1833. I suppose , on h earing th is, Mr. Di[x]on thought he

w ould start an opposition Almanack , a copy of wh ich I am fortunate

enough to possess it does no t appear, h owever, to h ave got beyond its initialnumber, so , I suppose , that in spite of h is youth Palmerwas successful, asWrigh t continued its publication until th e issue for 185 9 , wh en a new

name appeared—via , Piper, Steph enson and Spence. I notice, h owever,that in 1834 Wrigh t states on th e title -

page , Pnblislzed by t/ze Proprietor,IV . C. Wrzigr/zt, 4 , Paternoster Row ,

”so I expect h e employed Palmer to

edit it and h e became its Proprietor, probably by arrangement w ith Mrs.

Smith , as no previous issue appeared in th ismanner, w h ereas all subsequentones bore a similar imprint. A notew orthy fact in this year is w orth

recording—via , T h e L unar Aspects and Declinations are first given and

are presented in month ly form, and th e wh ole publication was enlarged to

84 pp. In 1836, h ow ever, w e first have its appearance w ith Tw o

Almanacs, or rath er th e addition of th e one w ith w h ich we are now

familiar of th e E phemeris or Positio ns of all th e Planets.

This was a step in th e righ t direction and must have added considerably toits popularity and success, but I am bound to say th at in all th ese earlynumbers, and righ t up to 1873 (wh en th ey ceased ) , the folding coloured

hieroglyph ical plates are masterpieces ofmystical w ork and must haveproved a great attraction , th e price, h ow ever, of 2 5 9d was a stiff one for

an almanac in th ose days it was reduced to half a crown in 1837 , and

about 1870 to tw o sh illings, wh ich again in 187 5 was reduced to th e

popular price of one sh illing , at wh ich it has remained up to the present

day . [ obn Palmer died in 1837 , and was succeeded in the editorsh ip by aMr. Medbnrst RAPHAEL NO. I I I . I am unable to find any par

ticulars about h im, and h e in h is turn was succeeded in 1849-185 0 by a Mr.

Wakely—ie , RAPHAEL N0 . IV. h e was a sch oolmasteron board H.M. S .

Tbe Victory , but resigned th is in favour ofh is astrological studies h e gavehis Horoscope in th e issue for 185 3 , and , curiously enough , like h is

predecessor fobn Palmer, died th e same year h e did so ; it would appear

to be a fatality about publish ing th ese Nativities in th e Messenger. In the

issue for 185 4 , I no tice th e publish er, W. C . Wrigh t, changed his title,adding th e w ords “

and Company , ” and th e work was enlarged to 120 pp.

RAPHAEL NO . now appeared in th e person of a Mr. Sparkes, whoedited th e w ork w ith ability and skill until h is death in May , 1875 .

I notice in th e issue of 185 9 th at th e publish er, Wrigh t, had died , and the

new owners w ere Messrs. Piper, Steph enson , and Spence , wh o , however,did not long~remain so , as th e issue for 186 1 contains a fresh one in th e

person of T. T . L emare ,”wh o resigned in h is turn in 1873 to Messrs.

Cat ty and Dobson , th e latter of wh om dropped out of th e firm in 1878,leaving Mr. J . E . Catty in sole con trol ; but, curiously enough , h e t e

appeared in 1881 , as I find th e title of th e old firm in th e publication forthat year, rising again like the Phoenix out of th e ash es of th e past ;how ever in 1886 , Messrs. W. Foulsham Co . came on the scene , and th esew ell-known publish ers have had it in hand ever since not only have th eycarried on th is h igh ly successful w ork , but also many o th ers of a similarcharacter, w ith signal success, bringing occult w orks w ithin reach ofmanypeople to w h om th ey w ere h ith erto indeed a veritable terra in cogn ita, andhave really supplied a long-felt want ; th ey are doing a great w ork and Ih ope th ey will prosper.

RAPHAEL NO. VI . took up th e editing in h is turn in 1876 , and has continuedit ever since , h e has made many important contributions to th e literature

and done excellent w ork in popularising th e science as h is numerous handbooks afl'

ord ample testimony to th e immense value ofh is work in bringingth e ch ieftenets and rules w ithin reach of th e multitude at popular prices.

I can hardly recommend better w orks for beginners, as the directions are

1 20 B IB L I OTHE CA AS TR OL OGI CA

clear and precise , and one can scarcely fail to succeed in follow ing out h isample directions to obtain success w h eth er in draw ing up a Horo scope or

in judging same for obvious reasons, I refrain fromdisclosing h is identity,wh ich h owever is w ell-known to all leading men in the profession .
