THE 36 DECANS, WITH THEIR RICH HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE, PLAY A PIVOTAL ROLE IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN COSMOLOGY, CALENDRICS, MAGIC, AND CIVILIZATION. FOR GENERATIONS, THESE DECANS HELD IMMENSE IMPORTANCE, AS THEY SERVED AS GUIDING TOOLS FOR THE PRIESTS IN COUNTING THE PASSING HOURS, DAYS, MONTHS, AND DECADES, AS THE DECANAL LISTS SHIFTED WITH PRECESSION.

IN THIS INSIGHTFUL 2 HOUR PRESENTATION, I INVITE YOU TO JOIN ME AS WE EMBARK ON A JOURNEY THROUGH THE DIVERSE USES, CONCEPTUALIZATIONS, AND APPLICATIONS OF THE DECANS IN ANCIENT EGYPT. FURTHERMORE, WE WILL DELVE INTO THE PRINCIPLE DECANS LIKE SOPDET (ISIS) AND SAH (OSIRIS) AND THEN INTO EACH OF THE 36 DECANS, EXPLORING THE INTRICATE TAPESTRY OF GODS, MYTHS, SPELLS, RITUALS, ARCHETYPES, AND CONSTELLATIONS INTRICATELY WOVEN INTO THEIR EXISTENCE.

IF YOU WERE ABLE TO ATTEND MY PREVIOUS FREE LECTURE ON ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ASTROLOGY, YOU'LL UNDOUBTEDLY FIND THIS PRESENTATION A VITAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE IN DEEPENING YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTRICATE EGYPTIAN COSMOS. THIS CLASS WILL BE HELD LIVE OVER ZOOM WEDNESDAY 2/14/2024 AND COSTS $25.

IN THIS THREE HOUR INTENSIVE WORKSHOP, WE ARE GOING TO COVER ALL OF THE ASTRONOMICAL PRINCIPLES YOU NEED TO FEEL MORE THAN COMPETENT AS A NOVICE OBSERVATIONAL ASTRONOMER AND PRACTICING ASTROLOGER.

WORKSHOP THESIS: THIS CLASS IS ALL ABOUT THE GREAT AND LESSER CIRCLES OF THE CELESTIAL SPHERE, HOW THEY INTERACT AND HOW THEIR CYCLES AFFECT EACH OTHER OVER SMALL AND LARGE SCALES OF TIME.

MY GOAL FOR THE STUDENTS: MY GOAL IS TO MAKE YOU CONFIDENT IN OBSERVING, VISUALIZING, IMAGINING AND JUDGING ALL KINDS OF CELESTIAL INTERACTIONS FROM THE EARTH’S EQUATOR TO THE EARTH’S POLES.

WE WILL LOOK AT:

• COSMOLOGICAL MODELS AND ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY OF THE PLANETARY SPHERES,

• WHAT THE GREAT & LESSER CIRCLES DISCUSSED BY THE ANCIENTS ARE,

• WHERE/HOW THEY INTERSECT AND INTERACT WITH EACHOTHER,

• HOW THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE CIRCLES CYCLICALLY CHANGE ON SMALL (HOURLY), MEDIUM (MONTHLY), AND EPOCHAL (YEARLY) SCALES OF TIME,

• WHY THESE CONCEPTS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO DOING SOUND ASTROLOGY,

• HOW THEIR APPLICATIONS BECOME USEFUL IN PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY,

• HOW THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS IN THE PROGRAM STELLARIUM CAN AID OUR VISUALIZATION AND COMPREHENSION OF THE COSMOS,

• AND DISCUSS EXERCISES FOR THE STUDENTS’ OWN PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS AND STUDIES OF THE SKY AFTER THE CLASS FOR DEEPER IMERSION.

EXPANDED (BUT NOT EXHAUSTIVE) TOPICAL LISTING: PLANETARY SPHERES, HORIZONTAL SYSTEM (HORIZON, MERIDIAN, AZIMUTH/ALTITUDE), EQUATORIAL SYSTEM (CELESTIAL EQUATOR, DECLINATION/RIGHT ASCENSION, SIDEREAL TIME), THE ECLIPTICAL SYSTEM (TROPICAL ZODIAC, LATITUDE/LONGITUDE), EARTH’S LATITUDES (EQUATOR, TROPICS, ARCTICS, CIRCUMPOLAR CIRCLES), PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES (COLURES, POLE STARS, SIDEREAL & CONSTELLATIONAL ZODIACS), THE GALACTIC EQUATOR, AND MUCH MORE…

THE WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 3RD, 2024 AT 2PM EST/11AM PST AND COSTS $50. REGISTER BELOW!
