The Book of Aquarius: Alchemy and the Philosophers' Stone (Classic Reprint)

Product Information

Astrologers believe that an astrological age affects humanity, possibly by influencing the rise and fall of civilizations or cultural tendencies. If you desire to delve further into this, either out of curiosity or interest, I suggest reading Weiser's book on the subject, and also Frater Albertus's handbook. These are introductory books into alchemy that lay down the foundational principles of the art that apply to nearly all alchemical operations, from the vegetable kingdom through the mineral kingdom. The philosopher's stone is super duper simple in concept to create once you have a solid foundation in alchemical understanding. The operation takes a year and change to create, and requires a lot of time and other resources. Neil Spencer, True as the Stars Above, 2000, pp. 115–27, chapter 7, "Love Shall Steer the Stars – The Long Dawning of the Age of Aquarius"

I was waiting for his second version of the book that normally would have come out in january 2013. But after a post from the author in the forum that is was going to be delayed I haven't seen anything. Also since a month ago or so the forum has dissapeared. I haven't found anything about it on the internet exept on one forum that wasn't to useful. Among other dates, one view is that the Age of Aquarius arrived around 1844, with the harbinger of Siyyid ʿAlí Muḥammad (1819–1850), who founded Bábism. [10] A common position expressed by many astrologers sees the Age of Aquarius as that time when humanity takes control of the Earth and its own destiny as its rightful heritage, with the destiny of humanity being the revelation of truth and the expansion of consciousness, and that some people will experience enlightenment in advance of others and therefore be recognized as the new leaders in the world. [13] These lines are considered by critics to be poetic license, although some people have taken them literally. An example is the identification of Valentine's Day2009 as the "perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and dawning of the Age of Aquarius". [22] [23]Andrew Dawson, New Era, New Religions: Religious Transformation in Contemporary Brazil ( Ashgate Publishing, 2007) p56 Astrologers do not agree on when the Aquarian age will start or even if it has already started. [5] Campion (1999) [4] lists various references from mainly astrological sources for the start of the Age of Aquarius. Based on Campion's summary, most published materials on the subject state that the Age of Aquarius arrived in the 20th century (29 claims), with the 24th century in second place with 12 claimants. [6] The expression Age of Aquarius in popular culture usually refers to the heyday of the hippie and New Age movements in the 1960s and 1970s.

The ReadDown Books for Aquarius Aquarius, you’re known for having unusual tastes. The book everyone else is reading may not be for you. You’re a bigger fan of the underdog — the small press, the lesser-known poet, the weird genre-breaker. If it’s different, it might be in your to-read pile. The most important thing is that an author has a unique voice. As the humanitarian and social organizer of the zodiac, you’re also keen to stay on top of social issues. Stories of rebels and change-makers suit you. Astrologer Brittany Goss has some book recommendations that push the envelope. A "wave" theory of the shifting Great Ages suggests that the Age of Aquarius will not arrive on a given date but is instead emerging in influence over many years, similar to how the tide surges forward incrementally rather than all at once. [17]The 1967 musical Hair, with its opening song " Aquarius" and the line "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius", brought the Aquarian age concept to the attention of audiences worldwide. However, the song further defines this dawning of the age within the first lines: "When the Moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars". Astrologer Neil Spencer denounced the lyrics as "astrological gibberish", noting that Jupiter aligns with Mars several times a year and the Moon is in the 7thHouse for two hours every day. [21] Aquarius ( ♒︎) ( Greek: Υδροχόος, romanized: Hydrokhóos, Latin for "water-bearer") is the eleventh astrological sign in the zodiac, originating from the constellation Aquarius. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in the Aquarius sign between about January 20 and February 18.
