Mansions of the Moon: A Lunar Zodiac for Astrology and Magic Kindle Edition

I have always have been curious about the mansions of the moon. According to old manuscripts, the ancients would petition according to the mansions and it never failed to grant them their desire. Unfortunately, the system was lost or unknown to the common people. Ptolemy makes mention of it in his book tetrabiblios, and if you put two and two together, one can see that the influence of the stars, constitutes the way of the system.This book is fantastic!! It is quite complete. I feel I got a lot of book for the price. I would recommend this book to anyone whether astrologer or not. The influence of the moon passing through the mansions is very easy to observe in the universal mood.

While the author may apologize for posting the book's description in the review section, he should make no apologies for the detailed, thorough and extremely well thought out book he has penned. As an astrologer, I have sought to learn the many mysteries that this art has to reveal, no matter how trivial or arcane they might prove to be. One subject that has always nagged at me was the Mansions of the Moon. Since seeing the subject appear in Vivian Robson's classic "Fixed Stars & Constellations in Astrology," I have been intrigued, but have found little information outside of sources within Vedic and Chinese astrology. Even then, it would have seemed that the Mansions of the Moon would forever be shrouded in mystery. Until now.Warnock has done an amazing job at collecting sources on the subject, reasoning out interpretations as well as making a practical guide for using it in your magical or astrological practice. The integration of classic sources with our modern world view is often a difficult task to manage, particularly with sources dating back several centuries. Mind you, this is not the touchy feely new age drivel that seems to be in absolute abundance in astrology these days. It is drawn entirely from traditional sources and presented in such a manner that makes it easily accessible to those of us who don't have a large breadth of experience in traditional astrology or medieval philosophy.Seriously, astrology is an art that encompasses many facets of life reconciling the hermetic principle of "As above, so below," in the context of the mundane, for the purpose of electing a time to act or answering a question, not merely an egotistical interpretation of oneself. It is nice to see another author who "gets it."After having read the book briefly, I am inclined to agree with the review previously penned by Deb Holden (whose "Houses: Temples of the Sky" is a book that I have found to be second to none on the topic). The presentation is practical and his sources thoroughly documented. I anticipate I will read this book many times over and I recommend you do the same. This is about as close to being authoritative as one can get.

This is an excellent book for the beginner -- which is to say someone with basic astrological knowledge but little substantive knowledge of lunar mansions or Western occult history. While much of the content in the book quite properly comes from two historical sources -- Picatrix and Agrippa -- Warnock adds pertinent information drawn from his own experience, as well as a simplified method for talismanic magick. Although Warnock occasionally takes a schoolmarmish tone -- which some may find a bit irritating -- this is an excellent resource book.

Enjoying perusing this at leisure. Having some knowledge of astrology basics would be a benefit. I enjoy the production, the lay out and the drawings are fitting for the material.

Interesting, I had events that where predicted and I could watch for. The book help me to map out my day to make it better. Very Positive.

Great read. Very helpful

The translation of Mansions of the moon is very accurate and informative in reference to the original one in arabic language.

This book is a piece of art, the images are very beautiful and reminds me of "1001 arabian nights". Is a great reading for everyone who wants to use the ancient wisdom of the Moon Mansions to attract and manifest what they desire.

Enjoy!

A very nice book.
