Our understanding of Celtic astrology is based mainly on the speculations of modern authors--mostly drawn from classical Greek and Roman writings--and suffers from many misconceptions. European astrology uses the Greek model, containing many Babylonian and Egyptian elements. But Celtic astrology (and other Indo-European astrologies) developed earlier, with relationships to Middle Eastern systems, as well as their own independent forms. This well documented study takes a fresh look at the development of Celtic astrology and the Druids' systems of cosmology, astronomy and astrology. The author analyzes commentaries found in manuscript sources from antiquity to the Middle Ages, comparing them with cosmological and astronomical lore found in Celtic cultures. Ancient constellations, calendars, deities and rituals reveal a rich worldview.

Well, those Apricot Marmalade guys are at it again! In this sequel to Apricot Marmalade and the Edmondson Transmittal, Special Agents Reynolds, Bonner, Wilson, Dunn, and Cooper are again matching wits with KGB spies and other enemy agents in Thailand during the Vietnam War, with the battleground practically next door. Ed Reynolds faces new challenges that keep him on his toes but seemingly just one step ahead of a court martial. Irv Bonner gets a new assignment in the northern part of the country that puts his life at risk but also brings him a chance at a meaningful romance. The team's biggest challenge in this go-around is to track down a physics graduate student who is intent on developing a nuclear device. His plan: to threaten a major Thai city with extinction, unless his demands are met. The group is racing against the clock to stop tens of thousands of innocent people from being vaporized. Satire is alive and well in Apricot Marmalade and the Sangsuwan Equation. ______________________________________________________________________________ PRAISE FOR APRICOT MARMALADE AND THE EDMONDSON TRANSMITTAL This book "is a hilarious tale of dysfunctional alphabet intelligence agencies operating in Vietnam-era Thailand . . . Written in a comedic satirical style reminiscent of Catch 22 . . . -San Francisco Book Review "What sets the book apart is Orey's sharp pen, comic timing, and crack dialogue, as its scruffy band tracks its marks, deals with GRU agents and arms smugglers, and tries to maybe even see some justice get done. That dialogue and crisp descriptive action are well balanced throughout . . ." -BookLife (an affiliate of Publishers Weekly) "Fantastic read . . . I loved this book . .. . I'd recommend Apricot Marmalade and the Edmondson Transmittal to all lovers of historical fiction. All in all, I'd rate it four out of four stars." -OnlineBookClub.org "I enjoyed this book. Frankly, it was a delight to read . . . The characters in this story were well developed and memorable . . . fresh and engaging . . . such a good and satisfying story." -Manhattan Book Review

This is an investigative novel that starts by asking the simple but pertinent question: since there are no sources whatsoever testifying that the saint, or his remains were in Spain, then who invented all this, and why? I became interested in this issue after having read a tiny sentence in the official history book of St. James, which casually states that the Cathedral of Compostela lost the relics of St. James for nearly three hundred years, from 1588 to 1879. Lose the most important relics in Christendom? I surmised that they didn’t lose them, because they never had them in the first place. That also would despatch the implausible tale of how the saint’s remains had travelled by stone vessel, steered only by the wind, in eight days, from Jerusalem to Galicia in Spain, in 44 A.D. Still, St. James’ legends gave rise to the largest pilgrimage in European history. A riddle indeed. Challenged by a publisher, I decided to investigate this story not as most historians have, namely to accept the Church’s version, but instead, to follow a journalistic approach; to search for those who benefitted - who had ulterior motives. Banking on my business experience, and art historical knowledge, I hoped to solve this riddle whilst walking part of the route, the so-called ‘camino’, between Burgos and Santiago de Compostela. In so doing I also aimed to find out why people should want to do this arduous journey today, as ca. 300,000 annually do. It resulted in this travel account and investigative analysis, and a very defensible solution to the riddle of St. James. The Church employed fear to persuade Christians to seek penance and forgiveness at an empty shrine in Spain. This exploit I have called a conspiracy. A serious accusation, but in my view, also a defensible claim. Once underway something strange happened. An English former banker was shot in front of my eyes. Whilst this incident is fictional, it strangely fits in my fact-based investigation of what happened between the 9th to 16th centuries when literally millions upon millions of pilgrims took a year off to visit Compostela. The pilgrimage led to a colossal industry, and the strange shooting incident pointed me to some of its present-day benefactors.

There are no clear demarcation lines between magic, astrology, necromancy, medicine, and even sciences in the pre-modern world. Under the umbrella term 'magic,' the contributors to this volume examine a wide range of texts, both literary and religious, both medical and philosophical, in which the topic is discussed from many different perspectives. The fundamental concerns address issue such as how people perceived magic, whether they accepted it and utilized it for their own purposes, and what impact magic might have had on the mental structures of that time. While some papers examine the specific appearance of magicians in literary texts, others analyze the practical application of magic in medical contexts. In addition, this volume includes studies that deal with the rise of the witch craze in the late fifteenth century and then also investigate whether the Weberian notion of disenchantment pertaining to the modern world can be maintained. Magic is, oddly but significantly, still around us and exerts its influence. Focusing on magic in the medieval world thus helps us to shed light on human culture at large.

Ce livre doit se lire comme une visite touristique à travers l’Histoire, où chacun des paysages renvoie à des époques et des lieux différents. Et si chacun d’entre eux a eu ses spécificités, des éléments communs à tous ont également existé, une fois que l’on regarde les choses à la même époque. Nous n’avons pas cru bon de diviser ce livre en un nombre élevé de sections. Au lieu de cela, nous l’avons divisé en trois grandes parties, la première étant consacrée à l’Antiquité, la seconde au Moyen Age, et la troisième à l’Epoque Moderne. Le fond donnant matière à ces sections étant le commerce, un tel constat nous a obligé à consacrer toute la troisième partie de notre livre à l’étude du capitalisme. Puisque celui-ci est un phénomène relativement récent, dans l’histoire de l’humanité - du moins si l’on définit ce terme par des rapports de production d’un certain type. Notre ouvrage étant également dédié à l’étude de la civilisation, nous avons cru bon d’ajouter quantité de pages consacrées à l’étude de la religion des hommes, ainsi qu’à son évolution dans l’Histoire. Car sans une telle connaissance, on passerait, à notre avis, à côté de nombre choses qui expliquent, par exemple, pourquoi l’Europe a eu un destin différent des autres continents. Ajoutons que le présent livre avait été conçu, au départ, afin de parler uniquement du capitalisme, tel que nous le connaissons actuellement, et de ses origines. Dans ce cadre-là, le titre lui-même, de l'ouvrage, s'intitulait Éléments destinés à éclairer les origines du capitalisme, depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’à nos jours, et formait un tryptique, en compagnie de deux autres ouvrages que nous avons intitulés « Éléments de théorie et de gestion applicables à l’économie capitaliste », s'agissant du premier d'entre eux, et « Exemples de corruption liée au rapprochement du monde politique et celui des affaires », s'agissant du second.
