Divination Theory and Practical Astrology, with Geoffrey Cornelius
All About Astrology • 16-Nov-2014
Is practical astrology divination? This question has become something of a hot potato, with psychological and archetypal astrologers joining together with died-in-wool traditionalists to declare the straightforwardly objective nature of our art’s symbolism and its results. We cover in detail the case for and against astrology-as-divination, and show the relationship of this question to that of the role of imagination and the “symbolic attitude.”
We also explore some of the leading-edge approaches of contemporary scholar-astrologers sympathetic to the divinatory interpretation, including Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum, Patrick Curry and James Brockbank.
