This was the second event of its kind at Kent, and this is the second publication to emerge from the teaching and research initiative on divination located in the School of European Culture and Languages (religious studies section).1 The MA programme in the Cultural Study of Cosmology and Divination, sponsored by the Sophia Trust, is currently in its second year and is attracting international attention from students and researchers involved in the academic study of the theories and practices of divination and the cosmologies within which these practices arise. The focus at Kent is on the epistemology and hermeneutics of divination and symbolic interpretation as a field of enquiry in its own right, and it is unique in regarding divinatory consciousness as a ubiquitous human phenomenon worthy of investigation on its own terms. Divination studies have tended to become subsumed into other disciplines such as anthropology, classics or history of ideas, but in locating divination (and particularly the study of astrology) within religious studies, we are acknowledging its roots in a sacred cosmos whose order is perceived not solely through speculation but also, if not primarily, through participation in ritual activity. Divination is understood as a fundamentally “religious” experience, however broadly the word is conceived, and however valiantly science, behavioural psychology or the social sciences may seek to prove or disprove its “truth” through their own frames of reference. Our approach is truly interdisciplinary, as the papers in this volume demonstrate, but it is not reductionist. Divination is addressed here through the lenses of ancient philosophy, religious practice, the arts, astrology and specific cultural forms and contexts, all of which emphasise a dynamic interplay between the human rational faculty and the religious imagination, the interpreter and the symbol, the abstract concept and living experience. We do not seek to explain divination, or to relegate it to the product of a “primitive” mentality, but to understand its many manifestations as a rich testimony to the power and creativity of the human soul as it seeks to make sense of the unseen forces that surround it, and act accordingly. viii Preface and Acknowledgments We would like to thank all the staff and students in the MA programmes in the Study of Mysticism and Religious Experience and the Cultural Study of Cosmology and Divination at Kent for their enthusiasm and intellectual encouragement. Particular thanks go to Dr Jeremy Carrette and Dr Karl Leydecker for their confidence in and support of divination studies within SECL, and to Dr Peter Moore and Dr Leon Schlamm for fostering the seed of cosmology and divination within the study of Mysticism until it was old enough to fend for itself. We are also grateful to the Sophia Trust, without whose funding this initiative would not have been possible, and to the Urania Trust, for ongoing financial support. Finally, we would like to acknowledge Dr Alie Bird for her painstaking proof-reading and indexing, and thank her for her dedication and commitment to this project. 1 The first publication being The Imaginal Cosmos: Astrology, Divination and the Sacred, Angela Voss and Jean Hinson Lall, eds., (Canterbury: University of Kent, 2007). INTRODUCTION PATRICK CURRY Our country from which we came is There… How shall we travel to it, where is our way of escape? We cannot get there on foot; for our feet only carry us everywhere in this world, from one country to another. You must not get ready a carriage, either, or a boat. Let all these things go, and do not look. Shut your eyes and change to and wake another way of seeing, which everyone has but few use.1 The above quotation from Plotinus, which inspired the title of this volume, points to what is perhaps its central thread: namely, that divinatory knowledge involves a mode of insight of quite a different order to normal everyday consciousness. Impervious and even alien to our accepted (and acceptable) human discourses, our familiar frames of reference and our habitual ways of seeing and evaluating the world, it requires a shift in perception. To explore this “other way of seeing” posed by the experiences of diviners themselves—and to allow it to lead to a change of conceptualisation—is a relatively new challenge for academic research, and the essays in this collection, through their various “different eyes”, seek to meet it. There is currently a renaissance of divination studies within the humanities and social sciences, and the papers collected here reflect and will undoubtedly further stimulate this development. Indeed, in both their scope and depth they offer impressive testimony to it. Ranging from ancient Chaldean theurgy (Algis Uzdavinys) through Ben Jonson’s “Masque of Augurs” (Anthony W. Johnson) to Enochian Chess in the Order of the Golden Dawn (Johann Friedrich Wolfgang Hasler), not to mention a wholly original treatment of Buddhist theurgy (Garry Phillipson) and a precise description, almost a re-enactment, of contemporary Mayan divination (Dennis Tedlock), they are as colourful in their contrasting moods as variations on a musical theme. In this introduction, however, I shall concentrate on trying to outline some of the overall context for the book as a whole, and to draw together some of its most significant common themes. x Introduction A key

Holism today presents itself as a return to a superior past, and brings Hippocrates in as part of this strategy. Th e model of the history of medicine implicit – or sometimes explicit – in holistic users of Hippocrates is one in which there was a golden age until ‘the turn away from holism in medicine allowed diseases to be located in specifi c organs, tissues or cells’.1 While there is something in this where ancient medicine is concerned, with its basis in fl uids rather than organs, this is of course also a tried and tested strategy for convincing an audience of the value of a ‘new’ thing: you claim it is ‘old’, or ancient, or just traditional.

  • Cleansing the Cosmos
    CLEANSING THE COSMOS: A BIBLICAL MODEL FOR CONCEPTUALIZING AND COUNTERACTING EVIL By E.

Evil has typically been studied either from a philosophical perspective or through the lens of ‘spiritual warfare’. The first seldom considers demonology; the second is flawed by poor methodology. Furthermore, warfare language is problematic, being very dualistic, associated with violence and poorly applicable to ministry. This study addresses these issues by developing a new model for conceptualizing and counteracting evil using ‘non-warfare’ biblical metaphors, and relying on contemporary metaphor theory, which claims that metaphors are cognitive and can depict reality. In developing this model, I examine four biblical themes with respect to alternate metaphors for evil: Creation, Cult, Christ and Church. Insights from anthropology (binary oppositions), theology (dualism, nothingness) and science (chaos-complexity theory) contribute to the construction of the model, and the concepts of profane space, sacred space and sacred actions (divine initiative and human responsibility) guide the investigation.

Ryan Librarian of the Institute The Warburg Institute is part of the School of Advanced Study in the University of London, but its origins are in pre-World War II Hamburg. Its founder, Aby Warburg (1866-1929),1 was a wealthy historian of Renaissance art and civilization who developed a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to cultural history which included the history of science and religion, psychology, magic and astrology. He was the guiding spirit of a circle of distinguished scholars for whom his library and photographic collection provided a custom- built research center. In 1895 Warburg visited America and studied in particular Pueblo culture, which he regarded as still retaining a consciousness in which magic was a natural element. In his historical study of astrology he was influenced by Franz Boll (part of whose book collection is now in the Warburg library). In 1912 he delivered a now famous lecture on the symbolism of astrological imagery of the frescoes in the Palazzo Schifanoja in Ferrara; he wrote a particularly interesting article on Luther's horoscope; and he began the study of the grimoire called Picatrix, the various versions of which the Warburg Institute is gradually publishing.

  • Strategies of Defending Astrology: a Continuing Tradition
    Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition by Teri Gee A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Teri Gee (2012) Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition Teri Gee Doctorate of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Astrology is a science which has had an uncertain status throughout its history, from its beginnings in Greco-Roman Antiquity to the medieval Islamic world and Christian Europe which led to frequent debates about its validity and what kind of a place it should have, if any, in various cultures. Written in the second century A.D., Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos is not the earliest surviving text on astrology. However, the complex defense given in the Tetrabiblos will be treated as an important starting point because it changed the way astrology would be justified in Christian and Muslim works and the influence Ptolemy’s presentation had on later works represents a continuation of the method introduced in the Tetrabiblos. Abû Ma‘shar’s Kitâb al- Madkhal al-kabîr ilâ ‘ilm ahk. âm al-nujûm, written in the ninth century, was the most thorough surviving defense from the Islamic world. Roger Bacon’s Opus maius, although not focused solely on advocating astrology, nevertheless, does contain a significant defense which has definite links to the works of both Abû Ma‘shar and Ptolemy. As such, he demonstrates another stage in the development of astrology.

  • Ennius Or Cicero? the Disreputable Diviners at Cic
    ACTA CLASSICAXLIV(200/) 153-166 ISSN 0065-1141 ENNIUS OR CICERO? THE DISREPUTABLE DIVINERS AT CIC. DE DIV. 1.132 A.T. Nice University of the Witwatersrand ABSTRACT At the end of the first book of Cicero's De Divir1atior1e, Quintus remarks that, even though he believes in divination, there are some diviners whom he would not trust to give accurate predictions. These comments are followed by a quotation from Ennius' Telamo. Most modem scholars have assumed, therefore, that the previous lines also contain an echo, if not a paraphrase of Ennius' work. This supposition does not seem to be supported by the language or style employed by Cicero. The lines should rather be understood as embodying the parochial view that elite Romans had towards forms of divination that were foreign, rustic or mercenary and not practised by the Roman state. I At the end of the first book of De Divinatione ( 1.132), Quintus completes his argument in favour of divination by denying the respectability of certain kinds ofdiviners: Nunc illa testabor, non me sortilegos neque eos, qui quaestus causa hariolentur, ne psychomantia quidem, quibus Appius, amicus tuus, uti solebat, agnoscere; non habeo denique nauci Marsum augurem, non vicanos haruspices, non de circo astrologos, non Isiacos coniectores, non interpretes somniorum; non enim sunt ii aut scientia aut arte divini. 1 The lines that follow, '(sed)2 superstitiosi vates inpudentes harioli ... de his di vitiis sibi deducant drachmam, reddant cetera,' are normally attributed to Ennius. Some previous commentators considered that the Ennius quotation should begin earlier, specifically from 'non habeo denique nauci.' 3 In favour 1 I use here the Teubner edition of R.

    DIVINATION SYSTEMS Written by Nicole Yalsovac Additional sections contributed by Sean Michael Smith and Christine Breese, D.D. Ph.D. Introduction Nichole Yalsovac Prophetic revelation, or Divination, dates back to the earliest known times of human existence. The oldest of all Chinese texts, the I Ching, is a divination system older than recorded history. James Legge says in his translation of I Ching: Book Of Changes (1996), “The desire to seek answers and to predict the future is as old as civilization itself.” Mankind has always had a desire to know what the future holds. Evidence shows that methods of divination, also known as fortune telling, were used by the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Babylonians and the Sumerians (who resided in what is now Iraq) as early as six‐thousand years ago. Divination was originally a device of royalty and has often been an essential part of religion and medicine. Significant leaders and royalty often employed priests, doctors, soothsayers and astrologers as advisers and consultants on what the future held. Every civilization has held a belief in at least some type of divination. The point of divination in the ancient world was to ascertain the will of the gods. In fact, divination is so called because it is assumed to be a gift of the divine, a gift from the gods. This gift of obtaining knowledge of the unknown uses a wide range of tools and an enormous variety of techniques, as we will see in this course. No matter which method is used, the most imperative aspect is the interpretation and presentation of what is seen.

  • Balbillus and the Method of Aphesis Martin Gansten
    Balbillus and the Method of aphesis Martin Gansten ORE THAN half a century ago, an annotated col- lection of early Greek horoscopes was published by O. Neugebauer and H. B. Van Hoesen, containing M 1 much valuable material for the study of ancient astrology. Perhaps inevitably, however, certain aspects of astrological pro- cedure were imperfectly understood by the two pioneers. I propose in this article to examine one such misconstrued topic, namely, the determination of a subject’s length of life by the method known as ἄφεσις, particularly as evinced in the two earliest literary horoscopes discussed by Neugebauer and Van Hoesen, both excerpted from the works of Balbillus (d. ca. 79 CE). The two systems of direction ἄφεσις, “sending out, release,” was one of the most promi- nent prognostic methods of classical Greek astrology, subse- quently known to medieval Perso-Arabic astrologers as at-tasyīr and to their Latin translators as athazir or directio.2 As the method had its foundation in the apparent diurnal rotation of the celestial sphere, sometimes known as the “primary motion” of the heavenly bodies (as opposed to their proper or “sec- ondary” motion along the ecliptic), it has been known since early modern times as primary direction.3 In what follows, I shall 1 O.
