The Astrology Course You Have Been Waiting For!
This course is unique in its design in content in that its primary focus is astrology and its relationship to theurgy of the "god making" practices of the Classical Period. While detailed in its lessons, it is both theoretically and practically satisfying as students are given clear and practical instructions on how to derive the 'Name of the Angel' from their nativity as described in the works of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa.
NOTE: This class was originally LIVE using ZOOM for six consecutive weeks starting Sunday, June 26, 2022 at 9:00pm Eastern Time. Each class is two hours in length.
