The discerning reader will notice a similarity in title between this comprehensive volume and the book known as "Gems from the Equinox". We feel this book is a superior product because, unlike Gems, this tome does not have 250pp of sarcastic reviews. In that other volume, editor Israel Regardie noted the difficulty of organizing the contents by subject matter, citing that some instructions included both Yoga and Magical references. We have tackled that problem by organizing the material by the grade in which it is to be worked. Thoughtful consideration has led us to move a very few of these instructions in an effort to make the whole system easier to comprehend.Here is a partial list of items in Diamonds, that are not in Gems: The Praemonstrance of the A.'.A.'., The Curriculum of the A.'.A.'., Students Reading List, Liber E Supplementary Instruction in Asana, Postcards to Probationers, X-Rays on Ex-Probationers, The Treasure House of Images, A Description of the Cards of the Tarot, Liber Gaias, The Earth, Liber Viarum Viae, The Dangers of Mysticism, The Training of the Mind, A Note on Genesis, Science and Buddhism, The Soldier and the Hunchback, The High History of Good Sir Palamedes, The Chymical Jousting of Brother Perardua, Aha!, Across the Gulf, Adonis, Two Fragments of Ritual, The Wake World, The Ritual Proper for the Invocation of the Augoeides, Thien Tao, The Evocation of Batzibel, The Ship, The Three Worms and The Rites of Eleusis.

"Hero Kinoull is an antiquarian bookseller whose sedate life in the picturesque English town of Beaudesert is turned upside down between the spring and autumn equinoxes of a single year. First her quiet but forbidden liaison with Hugh Shafto, the curator of the country’s finest collection of Rococo art, comes to an abrupt halt when she develops an adoration for his straight-talking, do-gooding wife Belle. But this relationship leads to other, even more unexpected feelings for Belle’s widowed mother-in-law, the majestic Kate Shafto, who spends her days tending her garden and sailing her handmade boats in the waters of the miniature archipelago she’s constructed in a disused gravel-pit."--

Dates form the backbone of written history. But where do these dates come from? Many different calendars were used in the ancient world. Some of these calendars were based upon observations or calculations of regular astronomical phenomena, such as the first sighting of the new moon crescent that defined the beginning of the month in many calendars, while others incorporated schematic simplifications of these phenomena, such as the 360-day year used in early Mesopotamian administrative practices in order to simplify accounting procedures. Historians frequently use handbooks and tables for converting dates in ancient calendars into the familiar BC/AD calendar that we use today. But very few historians understand how these tables have come about, or what assumptions have been made in their construction. The seven papers in this volume provide an answer to the question what do we know about the operation of calendars in the ancient world, and just as importantly how do we know it? Topics covered include the ancient and modern history of the Egyptian 365-day calendar, astronomical and administrative calendars in ancient Mesopotamia, and the development of astronomical calendars in ancient Greece. This book will be of interest to ancient historians, historians of science, astronomers who use early astronomical records, and anyone with an interest in calendars and their development.
