[The author’s] . . . investigation of political and historical thoughtextends from ancient Mesopotamian time down to the present day. Theuniversal beliefs in a primeval Golden Age of human innocence and afuture New Age of human perfection are examined [here] throughGreek and Roman classicism, Judaism, Christianity, Marxism andthe contemporary myth of progress; belief systems closely linked tothe concept of a universe regulated by precise mathematical lawsand planetary cycles. Campion shows how concepts of linear andcyclical time have been invoked throughout history to expresssuccessive societies’ views of their place in . . . the cosmos.

An outstanding reference work for anyone interested in calendars of any kind or in need of information on a specific calendar, this work presents a wealth of calendars from those of ancientBabylonia, Judea, Greece, and Rome to those used today, from cultures ranging from the MiddleEast and the Mediterranean to Africa, India, Southeast Asia, the Far East, Central America, and



modern Western nations. People divide time based on a variety of factors, including geography,astronomical knowledge, politics, religion, and so forth; calendars may date from the birth of areligious leader, the ascension of a monarch, or any other arbitrarily-chosen origin point. There areSolar calendars, Lunar calendars, market-day calendars based on 30-day months comprising threeten-day “weeks,” and numerous others. This work describes and discusses all important calendarsfor which information was available at the time it was compiled, taking the reader through historyfrom the Babylonians and Egyptians to modern times. Rather than being a scholarly dissertation on

how calendars are constructed, it is instead a handbook offering basic information on the structure of calendars and extensive tables for quick conversions. A must for scholars, astrologers, Magickians,historians, anthropologists, and anyone else interested in the humanity measures time and the ways inwe have constructed calendars down the ages and across the world.

New York: Arkana/Penguin, 1989.

Major changes or crises in our lives are usually signified by thetransits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in our birthcharts. AlthoughUranian disruption feels quite different from Neptunian confusionor the pulverizing impact of Pluto, it is the transits of the outer planetsthat most often mark our personal turning points. Each offers its owndistinctive dilemmas, its particular type of trauma, test or trial. In this. . . book Howard Sasportas blends his deep knowledge of psychologywith . . . case histories from his work as an astrologer in order toilluminate what happens as the outer planets transit the chart. In this

way, he suggests, we can learn to collaborate with the inevitable, tofind the meaning and pattern behind periods of upheaval and todiscover new depths in ourselves. Above all, we can learn to useour life crises as opportunities for growth and development.

1.1.2.10.2: Chiron and Other Kuyper Bodies

Clow, Barbara Hand. Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner and Outer Planets. St. Paul, MN:Llewellyn Publications, 1992. The planetoid Chiron, discovered in 1977, has proved to be one of themost valuable keys to the understanding of the modern spirit ever discovered by students of the



esoteric Arts and Sciences. Located in an extremely eccentric orbit between Saturn and Uranus,Chiron at once embodies the seemingly antithetical qualities of restriction and freedom, cripplingand power, loss and enrichment. As Thomas Jefferson and his colleagues taught, liberty does notentail license; true liberty requires responsibility and self-discipline. And as Helen Keller andStephen Hawking have showed the whole world by their valorous, splendid lives, sometimesachievement and power only come at the price of the most tragic, terrible losses. Chiron is the Godof the Bridge between Saturn’s Abyss of Night and Uranus’s Dawn of Freedom and Hope, the

Pathfinder for humanity in the age of nuclear terror and ecocatastrophe. A valuable resource of thelibrary of any modern astrologer, this book is a highly useful guide to His nature and influencethrough the Signs and Houses, which also explores His historical impact upon us all.

Nolle, Richard. Chiron: The New Planet in Your Horoscope, the Key to Your Quest . Tempe, AZ: TheAmerican Federation of Astrologers, 1994. An extremely valuable and useful astrological libraryresource, this work details the history of Chiron’s discovery in 1977, examines Chiron’s historicalimpact via numerous astrological charts of significant events and important births of this age,analyzes His astromythological nature, explores His influence through the Signs and Houses and inaspect to other Planets, and provides a highly useful bibliography of works on Chiron and anephemeris for Chiron covering the period 1890-1999 e.v.

Reinhart, Melanie. Chiron and the Healing Journey: An Astrological and Psychological Perspective. New York: Penguin/Arkana Books, 1989. The Centaur Chiron, half-man, half-horse, represents aspirit of philosophical independence, compassion, and a sense of trust in our inner selves. He is alsothe archetypal figure of the Shaman, the being who, having been undeservedly horribly wounded bylife and the universe, not only survives the wounding but actually manages to capitalize on it in theform of treasures of mind, spirit, or body made available to the nascent Shaman only as a result of that wounding. Chiron is brother in spirit to the knight-errant who goes into the bowels of a vastcavern in an attempt to find and do battle with a great dragon that has denned up there, a dragonwhich has been terrorizing and devastating the countryside. Somehow, the valorous but woefullyinexperienced and naive knight manages to kill the dragon there without being killed himself.Dragging himself dazed, mauled, and badly burned from the dead dragon’s lair, the knight recovers alittle, then goes back in once more to take the dragon’s ears or crest or head as a trophy so that hemay thereby reassure the good folk of the countryside that indeed their horrible tormentor is dead --and that’s when he finds that all these years, the great dragon was also guarding a gigantic hoard of treasure, one stolen from the treasuries of emperors and kings and noblemen and merchants fromhundreds of miles around, or appropriated from the baggage of pack-trains and caravansaries andlone wayfarers which the dragon preyed upon. The knight now has wealth that could buy and sell

the crowned heads of the world dozens of times over -- and all because he faced down the dragon,took his terrible wounds, and pressed on to kill the terrible beast in spite of everything. That isChiron. In this work, which is rich in anecdotes from numerous mythologies and includes athoughtful historical and religious perspective, Melanie Reinhart has produced one of the bestresources available to the modern practicing astrologer. She shows that the influence of Chironvaries strikingly between urban cultures, especially our own modern, high-tech way of life, and thoseof “primitive” people in “marginal” environments, where population density is extremely low andthe people are not cut off from the natural world by countless distractions and physical barriers,implying that the same is true for all other heavenly bodies and phenomena -- the nature of theinfluence of the Planets depends as much upon our basic assumptions about existence, our way of life and our basic biology as it does anything else. The mythological Chiron was also a pioneer anda pathfinder, and this ground-breaking work is a perfect example of those aspects of His influenceupon us. Superbly annotated, with a highly useful bibliography, a wealth of historical data andexample charts, and an extensive and detailed ephemeris for Chiron. A must for any serious

astrologer today.

1.1.2.10.5: Eclipses and Nodes

Dobyns, Zipporah Pottenger. The Node Book . Revised edition. Los Angeles: TIA Publications, 1979.

Ancient myths described an eclipse as the Sun or Moon being swallowed by adragon. Since an eclipse could only occur near the lunar nodes, these became the headand tail of the dragon. Older references and Eastern astrology still call the Moon’s North Node the Dragon’s Head and the South Node the Dragon’s Tail.

-- From the back cover

This remarkable book discusses the nodes of the Moon, the Planets, and the asteroids, the terminal points of the lines of intersection of the planes of the orbits of these bodies around Sol with that of the Solar orbit of our world. The author gives a complete definition and description of these pointsand their general meaning in the horoscope, then gives separate discussions on the nodes of each of the Planets, Luna, and the asteroids. Useful tables for the heliocentric positions of the Planetary Nodes, general node tables for the Planets, and others are given, as well.

Written by Margot Adler, granddaughter of renowned psychiatrist Alfred Adler, this work is anoutstanding survey of neopaganism and their culture today. In interviews with neopagans all acrossthe United States, Ms. Adler found that neopagans have no gurus or masters, that their beliefs arenon-authoritarian in spirit, and that they take their deities from a wide variety of sources, includingnature, ancient myth, even the modern mythologies of science fiction and other genre literature.

Stephen King, born in 1947 under a conjunction of Pluto and Saturn in Leo frequently referred to byastrologers as “The Magus,” is as close to Shakespeare – and Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Euripides – as

anything America has ever had. Like the plays of the ancient Greeks, his stories, novels, and films arevehicles for messages to use from the Gods, the Lords of the Collective Unconscious and the naturalIntelligences of the living world. King needs no introduction to modern afficianados of the literature of horror and the supernatural, but not many realize that he is also a very subtle teacher of the value of freedom and the horror of oppression and slavery. He is for just such reasons one of the primary modernliterary heirs of Robert A. Heinlein, whose works are also included in this section. As you can see, healso accurately described himself when he said, “I write like fat ladies diet.”

Saberhagen, Fred. Berserker . New York: Ace Books, 1967.

This and the other works included in Saberhagen’s “Berserker” series are moral tales with adifference: they are moral fables for libertarians, tales of the unquenchable spirit that often dwellswithin even the least and lowest of living things, human and otherwise. The Spirit of Life is capableof successfully opposing even the mightiest of oppressors and would-be destroyers, however inadequate its physical machinery and intellectual resources may seem. Fred Saberhagen’s“Berserker” stories are an ongoing celebration of that Spirit, its courage and resourcefulness and the



power it can muster when pitting itself against seemingly overwhelming odds and opponents. Not just physical survival, but spiritual survival and freedom are at stake for all the human universe andits frail individual members who are opposed to the gigantic, utterly ruthless, almost preternaturallycunning Berserker Fleet which has as its ultimate goal the permanent elimination of all life from theuniverse. Somehow humanity manages not only to survive, but to push back the berserker machines,to win again and again against seemingly impossible odds -- and to do so by means of frequentlysimple, even crude means that ordinary individuals (even as you and I) could come up with almost

anywhere. Saberhagen’s heroes aren’t untouchable superheroes; rather, they are mortal souls, withall the frailty inherent in physical form and mortal mind, even, occasionally, wastrels, sociopaths,retarded men and women, social rejects of all kinds. Yet they manage not only to survive in the faceof all-out attacks by monstrous robots which have all the resources of the physical universe availableto them, but beat back the enemy, trick him and deceive him and, finally, destroy him again andagain and again. Impossible? Saberhagen takes his scenarios from real history itself, more oftenthan not -- check it out and see.

Smith, L. Neil. Contact and Commune. New York: Popular Library, 1990. _____. Converse and Conflict . New York: Popular Library, 1990. _____. Pallas. New York: TOR Books, 1993.

Nothing is more American than the frontier, and nobody writes about frontiers inspace like L. Neil Smith. In Novels like Henry Martyn, Smith vividly conveys theexcitement of space, and the particular energy of people who adopt libertarian principles of self-determination and freedom and build their own societies according totheir beliefs. Never before has he created so believable and fully realized a frontier world as Pallas. An asteroid large enough to support a wide variety of climates andsettlements, yet small enough to require terraforming and an artificial atmosphere,Pallas is an opportunity for settlers from Earth to start afresh – to make their way, live

on their own land, earn their own place where they can have human dignity and personal freedom.Two major forces contend on Pallas. One is a colony founded by a United Nations

task force. Run by former US senator Gibson Altman, the Greeley Project is comprisedof the poor, the cast-off, the desperate. The people in the project all work together under a system that somehow doesn’t seem to work the way they had envisioned itwhen they signed on. In contrast to the Greeley project is the town of Curringer, namedfor the man whose vision and money terraformed Pallas. In and around Curringer the people are free – to starve, or find a way to earn their way. Many hunt for their ownfood; most carry guns, and all are fiercely independent. Two people vie for power onPallas, Emerson Ngu, escaped to Curringer from the Project, and Gibson Altman,guardian and leader of the Project. Their lives and the conflicts between these twostrongwilled leaders make PALLAS an extraordinary science fiction adventure of power, politics, and the destiny of humankind. The author of the Prometheus Award-

winning Libertarian SF novel The Probability Broach has created his most entertainingand thought-provoking novel yet, carrying on the legacy of Robert A. Heinlein’sLibertarian Science Fiction tradition.

Steve Barnes is known to the public as having co-authored the wonderful Dream Park science-fictionnovels with Larry Niven, as well as having written novels of his own. He is also a teacher of writing – and of combat arts. His “Total Success LifeWriting System” combines knowledge and wisdom

from many different cultures and paths: Martial arts, Kundalini Yoga, Aerobics, SriChinmoy’s meditation practice, and more. It is intended to maximize your energy, andenable you to use it whrever and whenever you wish.

Ibid., p. 10

According to the author,

LifeWriting invites you to live your life as an heroic adventure you are creating,one day at a time. You accept the challenge of creation. You crate a vision of whatyour ideal life would be. You decide what allies you will need along the way. Yougain skills. You learn to conquer your fears, your negative memories and thoughts.And you set your feet upon the road to mastery, taking one step at a time.

Ibid., p. 10

The LifeWriting System was born

in an intuitive flash which occurred during a class called ‘The Inner Writer and theOuter Work,’ a workshop which I teach at the UCLA Extension Program.

‘The Inner Writer’ is a class designed to teach writers to balance a creative mindwith a healthy life. One day, one of the students said, ‘Steve, the tools you’ve given usare great, but I don’t know how to use them. My wife doesn’t support me in mywriting, my job eats up too much of my time, I don’t have enough energy . . .’

My reply surprised me. I said, ‘If you were writing about a character in a story,and that character had your life problems, what would you have him do?’

The astonishing thing was that the student immediately created his own answers.

And LifeWriting was born. Adding the FIREDANCE energy generation/focustechnologies, and organizing them according to the ‘Hero’s Journey’ . . ., gives us theTOTAL SUCCESS program.

What TOTAL SUCCESS promises to do is give you new creativity, new perspective on your life, and new control over your negative emotions. You are goingto learn how to double your energy in six weeks, and double the quality of your life in ayear. Although no previous writing experience is necessary, students have also called itthe best writing course they’ve ever taken.

A scholar named Joseph Campbell examined myths and stories from all over theworld, and he discovered an amazing fact: IN ALL OF THE WORLD’S GREATSTORIES, ANCIENT AND MODERN, FROM EUORPE, AFRICA, OR ASIA, ACOMMON PATTERN EMERGES (that of ‘The Hero’s Journey’).

. . .

This pattern is the story which human beings have been telling each other since the

beginning of time. Probably the most famous example of it is the Star Wars trilogy byGeorge Lucas. A simpler way to describe this pattern is ‘The Young Person GrowsUp,’ and ‘The Old Person Faces Death.’

Any time you tell either of these stories, you will find an audience. Why?BECAUSE IT IS AN EXACT PARALLEL OF THE ACTUAL LIFE PATH OFEVERY HUMAN BEING ON THIS PLANET.

When you were a child, how many times did you ask yourself: ‘What will it taketo become an adult?’ And once grown, haven’t you wondered: ‘How do I find thecourage, energy, commitment, and passion to pursue my dreams, and to fill my lifewith pleasure, growth, contribution, and success before I die?’

Therefore, almost any story which addresses either of these issues will be a success.WE ARE PROGRAMMED TO OPEN OUR EMOTIONAL GATES TO HEAR THESESTORIES. Since the cradle, we have heard them uncounted thousands of times. Everyfairy tale, every adventure story, romantic fable, animated cartoon, and comic book tries to address these questions. Those that do become classics.

The best part of it is – it’s all true. Try it – you might like it. (But avoid the Mos Eisley canteen onthe way – I hear they only serve Coors there.)

The Culture of Disbelief: How American Law and Politics Trivialize Religious

Devotion. New York: Basic Books/HarperCollins Publishers, 1993.

We have sharp divisions over values in America. But that does not mean that no

values are better than others. We have sharp divisions, too, on whether human beingsevolved over millions of years from lower forms of life, or whether humans werespecially created just a few hundred decades ago. But we still manage to make a choicethat scientific creationism should not be taught in the schools. Is it really so great aleap to teach our children that theft, excess, and bigotry are wrong, or that respectingthe persons, property, and privacy of others is right?

Ibid., quoted on the back cover

The First Amendment applies to everyone – not just “liberals.” Stephen L. Carter shows usthe ways in which we have come to equate “religious freedom” with “irreligion,” and



“religion” with “intolerance” – equations that are progressively harming our collective souland spirit, and jeopardizing our future – and makes an eloquent plea for a reversal of thisfrightening trend. If the First Amendment doesn’t apply to all of us, then it applies to noneof us, by its very nature. Left-liberal atheistic fascism or militant-Pagan religious fascismare no better than right-reactionary Christian religious fascism; both can destroy us as anation and as the world hope of liberty. Fleeing the latter, we have embraced the former – and they are pulling us and our Constitutional political system and ideals on a downhill road

to hell from which we have very little time to escape. Mene, mene, tekel, upharshin – andis it only “right-wing religious fascists” who still know what that means? God help us all,so.

_____. ( Integrity). Basic Books/HarperCollins Publishers, 1996.

Integrity – all of us are in favor of it, but nobody seems to know how to make surethat we get it. From presidential candidates to crusading journalists to the lords of collegiate sports, everybody promises to deliver integrity, yet all too often, the promisesgo unfulfilled.

In this thoughtful book, Stephen L. Carter, whose 1993 book the Culture of Disbelief changed the way we talk about the role of religion in American life, turns hiscritical eye to the mystery of why the virtue of integrity holds such sway over theAmerican political imagination. Why do we care more about winning than about playing by the rules? What are our rules about following the rules? What are our rulesabout breaking them? He explains why integrity is first in importance among theelements of good character, as well as why it is so hard to attain. By weaving together insights from philosophy, theology, history, and law, along with examples drawn fromcurrent events and a dose of personal experience, Carter offers a vision of integrity thathas implications for everything from marriage and politics to professional football. Hediscusses the difficulties involved in trying to legislate integrity as well as the possibilities for teaching it.

Like Carter’s earlier books, Integrity is at once provocative and witty, sober andinspiring. The first in a trilogy of books on the most important elements of thecharacter of the good citizen, Integrity presents a frank examination of the nationalmood and concludes that unless we find ways to place integrity at the center of both our

private and public lives, the American idea may crumble – and the greatness of our democracy with it.

Connelly, Thomas L. Will Campbell and the Soul of the South. New York: Continuum, 1982.Delbanco, Andrew. The Death of Satan: How Americans Have Lost the Sense of Evil . New York:

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1995.

Americans once believed in God and in Satan; they were known to be obsessedwith sin, and they pictured their own history as an epic struggle with evil. Today,however, while the repertoire of evil seems never to have been richer, as we dailyencounter (and even relish) images of unimaginable horror, our grasp on the reality of evil nonetheless seems weak and uncertain, our responses to it flustered and sometimes

indifferent. How has the crisis of incompetence come about.In this . . . book, . . . Andrew Delbanco proposes a fresh, persuasiveinterpretation of the American past – and present – that offers a way to resolve thiscrisis of moral imagination. In a kind of spiritual biography of the American nation, heshows us how writers of the past three centuries have depcited evil and how, by givingit form and meaning, they have tried to defy and subdue it. His nuanced and yet tough-minded analyses of religious leaders like Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards, political redeemers such as Jefferson and Lincoln, classic writers like Emerson andMelville, Thoreau and Whitman, and more recent figures, including Niebuhr and



Trilling, Rachel Carson and Susan Sontag, show us the strategies by which these writershave recognized and done battle with evil.

One way of talking about evil is to demonize and satanize it, depict it as a foreign‘other,’ a monstrous reality far from ourselves. This way of understanding evil assomething remote and alien seems to be on the rise again today. But as Mr.Delbanco’s superb study shows us, Satan has sometimes had a very different meaningin our history – as a symbol of our own deficient love, our potential for envy and rancor

toward creation. Americans have always been engaged in a contest between these twoways of understanding evil; and it remains a struggle in which nothing less thanAmerica’s destiny is at stake.

Medved, Michael. Hollywood vs. America: Popular Culture and the War on Traditional Values. New

York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1992.

Why does popular culture seem so consistently hostile to the values that mostAmericans hold dear? Why does the entertainment industry attack religion, glorify brutality, undermine the family, and deride patriotism?

In this explosive book, one of the nation’s best known film critics examines howHollywood has broken faith with its public, creating movies, television, and popular music that exacerbate every serious social problem we face, from teenage pregnanciesto violence in the streets.

Michael Medved powerfully argues that the entertainment business follows its owndark obsessions, rather than giving the public what it wants: In fact, the audience for feature films and network television has demonstrated its profound disillusionment inrecent years, with disastrous consequences for many entertainment companies.Meanwhile, overwhelming numbers of our fellow citizens complain about the wretched

quality of our popular culture – describing the offerings of the mass media as the worstever. Medved asserts that Hollywood ignores – and assaults – the values of ordinaryAmerican families, pursuing a self-destructive and alienated ideological agenda that isharmful to the nation at large and to the industry’s own interests.

In hard-hitting chapters on ‘The Attack on Religion,’ ‘The Addiction to Violence,’‘Promoting Promiscuity,’ ‘The Infatuation with Foul Language,’ ‘Kids Know Best,’‘Motivations for Madness,’ and other subjects, Medved outlines the underlying themesthat turn up again and again in our popular culture. He also offers conclusive evidenceof the frightening real-world impact of these messages on our society and our children.



Finally Medved shows where and how Hollywood took a disastrous wrong turntoward its current crisis, and he outlines promising efforts both in and outside theindustry to restore a measure of sanity and restraint to our media of mass entertainment.

Sure to elicit strong response, whether it takes the form of cheers of support or howls of outraged dissent, Hollywood in America confronts head-on one of the mostsignificant issues of our times.

From the jacket blurb

As the blurb proclaims, Michael Medved is one of today’s best-known film critics. Co-author of TheGolden Turkey Awards, The Hollywood Hall of Shame, and Son of Golden Turkey Awards (withHarry Medved), and author of The Shadow Presidents and other widely acclaimed works, Medvedhas a deep and detailed acquaintance with his subject. There’s little more than I can add either to thequotation above or to the book itself beyond – I heartily agree, and urge everyone in this countrywith even the rudiments of intelligence and concern for the future to read this book and take a goodlook at the current ugly state of affairs in the American film industry and our country as a whole.

Messadié, Gerald. A History of the Devil . Translated from the French by Marc Romano. New York:Kodansha International, 1996.

A History of the Devil is a provocative exploration of the personifications of evilthrough the ages and across cultures. Messadié reveals that the Satan of Judeo-Christian mythology – the antithesis of God and good – was a concept unknown to theGreeks, Romans, Egyptians, Hindus, and Chinese. In fact, the devil was probablyinvented six centuries before the Common Era by Persian clergy eager to demonizetheir political adversaries. And the image of absolute evil has been a useful tool of the powerful – both religious and secular – ever since, from the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada to Ronald Reagan.

Mookerjee, Ajit. Kali: The Feminine Force. New York: Destiny Books, 1988.

Kali, a Lunar Goddess, was the Great Mother Goddess of the original inhabitants of India, theDraviddians. So powerful was she that the later Aryan invaders of India were not able to banish Her

worship, though eventually they did conquer the Draviddians and drove out the ones that refused tosubmit to the conqueror’s yoke. Finally, the Aryans assumed Kali into their pantheon as a battle-aspect of Durga, their own Great Mother Goddess. Those Draviddian sub-populations that managedto flee India rather than stay and become the Outcastes of India, now known as Europe’s andRussia’s Gypsies, carried Kali with them as they roamed throughout the world, leaving Her iconseverywhere across Europe in the form of figurines dubbed “Black Madonnas” by resident Christian populations. Indeed, as the Gypsies themselves converted to Christianity, they kept Kali as an aspectof Mary, much as the Aryans had taken Kali to be a battle- or Crone aspect of Durga. Kali hasroughly the same relationship to Durga that the Medusa does to Pallas Athena of the Greeks, or Black Isis does to Isis. She is the Demon-Slayer who defends the Throne of Heaven, much as theArchangel Mikhail of Western cultures does. She is also a Goddess of Tantra, the source of the greatfloods of Kundalini Energy that are evoked by means of sexual Magick. And with Her husband,Shiva, the Destroyer, another Lunar deity, She destroys and creates whole worlds. The story of Kaliis the story of the Left Hand of God, the dark side of deity, All-Devourer and All-Begetter, and no

religious education is complete without study of Kali and the other Crone Goddesses. Mookerjee’swork is an excellent introduction to the subject.

Shattuck, Roger. Forbidden Knowledge: From Prometheus to Pornography. New York: St. Martin’sPress, 1996.



An outstanding analysis of the Qlippoth of Liberty, the demonic shadow of Key 11, Aleph, and thesociocultural consequences of inhabiting that shadow just a little too long.

In both the sweep of its subject and the vigor of its learning, Forbidden Knowledgefollows in the tradition of such works as James G. Frazer’s The Golden Bough, JosephCampbell’s and Bill Moyer’s The Power of Myth, and Harold Bloom’s the WesternCanon.

In this impassioned work, the eminent critic Roger Shattuck not only examines themeaning of moral responsibility in literature and in our everyday lives, but alsosuggests that we live in a violent world that dismisses taboos and fails to heed thewisdom of that which is sacred.

Forbidden Knowledge boldly traces the tragic arc of Western literature and cultureas it explores the notion of ‘forbidden knowledge,’ from the sexual innocence of Adamand Eve to the awe-inspiring discoveries of modern scientists who have created theatomic bomb and recombinant DNA. The result is a dire portrait of human presumptionand of a culture that has abandoned all limits in the quest for knowledge andexperience.

The harrowing imagery that Shattuck presents is matched only by his faith that wecan understand our grievous loss of innocence by reexamining our greatest myths andstories of the last two thousand years. In lively, lucid prose Shattuck explores our uncertain fate through such myths as that of Prometheus and a wide range of literaryworks, including Milton’s Paradise Lost , the writings of the Marquis de Sade, MaryShelly’s Frankenstein, Melville’s Billy Budd , and the poetry of Emily Dickinson.Parents and teachers should be aware that Chapter VII does not make appropriatereading for children and minors.

In this seminal work, Shattuck breaks new ground in opening up a crucial subjectnever before accorded this full-scale treatment. Forbidden Knowledge impels us to arenewed effort to think judiciously about morality and the sacred during a decade of radical skepticism. Forbidden Knowledge represents the capstone of Roger Shattuck’scareer as one of American’s most original and gifted thinkers.

Verman, Mark. The History and Varieties of Jewish Meditation. Northvale, NJ: Jason Aronson Inc.,1996.

The History and Varieties of Jewish Meditation is a user-friendly guide designed tofamiliarize the reader with the vast expanse and incredible diversity of traditionalJewish meditation.

The material included in this volume is drawn from the great treasure chest of Jewishspiritual heritage, namely, the Hebrew Scriptures. Accordingly, special attention is paid to specific biblical figures and seminal passages, while much of the discussionconcentrates on standard kabbalistic and hasidic sources such as the Zohar and thewritings of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav.

In the History and Varieties of Jewish meditation, Mark Verman examines a widevariety of meditative practices, spanning many centuries, by translating primarykabbalistic sources and providing the reader with intelligible readings of the differenttechniques found in the Jewish meditative tradition. As the reader will discover, thereis no one dominant form of traditional Jewish meditation. Rather, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of disparate techniques, ranging from visualizations of Divine names tocandle gazing and chanting.

Verman also offers an historical overview of ancient Jewish meditation, starting withthe biblical period and continuing to early rabbinic times. Pertinent later commentaries



are also cited to elucidate these sources. This background discussion provids the reader with a basic orientation to the tradition of Jewish meditation.

This works seeks to combine the academic virtue of methodical study with thecreativity and spontaneity of Divine discovery. . . . The richness of the Jewishmeditative tradition is highly adaptable to promoting widespread spirituality. . . .
