19:00 The Lunar Nodes & the Churning of the Soul II: Jolie Knott

In the West, the lunar nodes are often seen as esoteric and difficult to access in terms of the natal chart. Through an examination of the lunar nodes through the houses, we can start to see the overarching themes that inform our “mission” in this world and serve as vital points for where we must tend to balance in our lives.

13:00: Welcome

13:15: Picatrix: A Grimoire of Astrological Magic – Chris Mitchell

The book called Picatrix became highly influential in late medieval Europe and into the Renaissance, and retains a certain fascination today among esoteric groups. In his talk, Chris will look at this ancient tome and describe how you can find true love, force people to obey you, and forge magical talismans using everyday ingredients such as wolf’s blood, leopard fat and hoopoe tongues, with recipes you can try at home. There will also be a look at the seventeenth-century benefactor Elias Ashmole, who founded the Ashmolean museum in Oxford, and his connection with this strange magical book.

Chris MitchellChris Mitchell has a PhD from the University of Leicester on the topic ofmedieval astrology and an MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from Bath SpaUniversity College. He is a tutor on that MA course, now hosted at the University ofWales, and holds a diploma in Medieval Astrology from Astrologos.

15:30: Tea Break

16:00: Astrological Geomancy, or the Science of the Sands – Bernard Eccles

Astrological Geomancy used to be as popular as astrology itself. Because it was thought to link the sky to the earth, it was once widely used in the making of magical talismans, and for a form of divination which required no calculation. Much favoured by renaissance occultists such as Cornelius Agrippa and Robert Fludd, it fell from favour at the start of the seventeenth century. Its vocabulary is the same as that of traditional astrology – planets and signs – but underneath that top layer are traces of something much earlier, based on direct sky observation, which may be a thousand years older, or even more. This talk looks at its techniques and practice in its medieval heyday, suggests some reasons why it fell from favour, and takes a tentative peek into its earlier forms.

Bernard EcclesBernard Eccles has been writing, teaching and lecturing about astrology for over forty years. He was President of the Astrological Lodge of London twice in the 1980s, won the Astrological Association’s Charles Harvey award in 2011, and is a regular guest lecturer at the Faculty of Astrological Studies Summer School at Oxford. His magazine horoscope columns appear in eight different languages around the world.

17:15: Astrological Magic: How does it work and how do we work with it?

The revival of astrological magic, which Chris set in motion two decades ago, is now in full swing having been embraced by the astrological community. But how does it work? Generally this question is ignored or answered with “energy”, but there are alternative explanations. Causality turns out to be the pivotal factor in astrological magic practice and as we explore the various options, we see that our underlying model determines practical issues like coordinating with the natal chart, as well as choosing and using talismans. Also key, is the acceptance of validity of different models and approaches. Rather than setting forth one “correct” model or approach, this presentation will discuss modern and traditional views of causality and models for the use of talismans, as well as practical natal chart examples and in-depth discussion of types of astrological talismans: planetary (including our talismans in the British Museum), fixed star and constellation, Mansions of the Moon and house based talismans.

Christopher WarnockChristopher Warnock has been a traditional astrologer and Renaissance astrological magician since 1998. He has been called “the father of the traditional astrological magic revival” and the “elder statesman” of astrological magic. With John Michael Greer, Mr. Warnock translated the Latin Picatrix, the most important grimoire of traditional astrological magic and has written and published many books on astrological magic and traditional astrology. Mr. Warnock also teaches astrology and magic courses and offers authentic astrological talismans.

19:15 New Stars for a New Era: The New Consciousness of Ten New Planets, Featuring Salacia – Higher Love Consciousness

Many astrologers believe that new planets are discovered when we are ready to incorporate the new consciousness represented by that planet into our existing consciousness. With the discovery of 10 new planets this century, we are entering a period of rapid consciousness development, and this is enabling a whole new understanding of whom and where we are. This talk is based on Alan’s new book, New Stars for a New Era: A Consciousness Workbook for our 10 New Planets. It will give an overview of the aspects of consciousness represented by each of our ten new planets and then go into more detail on Salacia – the higher octave of Venus and Mars combined – our new goddess of higher love consciousness who enables us to take leaps of faith. We will look at exercises to practically apply the energy, and at house interpretations with examples of famous people, to bring them to life.

19:15 Axial Chart Divisions and their use

The chart division along the equinoctial line Aries-Libra divides the hemisphere in north and south, a distinction that is associated with the measurement of power. Each northern sign has a corresponding southern sign that is commands and hence each southern sign has a corresponding northern sign that is must obey. The division by the solstice axis, on the other hand, gives us the straight rising signs and the oblique rising signs which have distinct meanings and uses especially in horary and electional astrology. The antiscia or mirror points also derive from this division and link one straight rising with one oblique rising sign, establishing another chain of command.
