Somehow, the Librarian was unaware that we had these writings of Saint Sir Edward Kelley in the Thelema Lodge collection, now dusted off and properly catalogued. (Ours is the more uncommon Weiser hardback, not the oversize Kessinger softcover likely pictured on this post, because Goodreads is silly like that.)

Two Excellent Treatises on the Philosopher's Stone toge…

January 2026 Astrology from Oasis Master Aldebaran

January sees a lot of activity in the Saturn ruled signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. This highlights the condition of Saturn in Pisces, and gives that planet an outsized influence on the events of the month to come. In Pisces, Saturn is mostly peregrine, only having essential dignity by term in the last three degrees.

December 2025 Astrology from Oasis Master Aldebaran

December kicks off with a Full Moon at 13° Gemini. This is a treacherous decan, associated with trickery, oppression, and the subtleties of jesters and jugglers. As this is the culmination of what began on the New Moon in Scorpio last month, this suggests that the outward violence hinted at by that lunation has moved into a more insidious kind of conflict....

The newest—as in took-off-cellophane, put-on-shelf—addition to the Grady Louis McMurtry Memorial Library at BSO: The Complete Stories of Mary Butts, who also contributed to MTP during her stay at Cefalu. Modernist Euro-fiction with heavy notes of occultism & mythology.

Since the Moon is the planet closest to the earth, and translates the light and influence of the other wanderers, we begin our discussion of the astrology of September with the New Moon in Virgo on August 22nd. She is in the very earliest minutes of the first degree of the sign. This decan combines the influence of the Sun with the discrimination of the Virgin....
