Il mago astrale è colui che conosce e sa usare a suo vantaggio la fitta rete di corrispondenze che legano il mondo celeste a quelle terrestre, e in virtù di questa conoscenza è capace di attrarre in un'immagine debitamente preparata e consacrata gli spiriti delle stelle, o, come direbbe Marsilio Ficino, una certa porzione dell'Anima del Mondo. Questo libro compendia tutta la tradizione in materia di magia astrale, dal Picatrix alla "Filosofia Occulta" di Cornelio Agrippa, dal "De Imaginibus" di Thabit Ibn Qurra al "Libro del Tesoro" di Alessandro, da Ermete Trismegisto a Marsilio Ficino, e contiene tutto ciò che è necessario sapere per operare nel campo della magia astrale, sia per quanto riguarda la parte astrologica, sia per quanto riguarda la parte magico-rituale. Dopo averlo studiato e assimilato, sarete in grado di realizzare talismani e altre immagini magiche di qualsiasi tipo e per qualsiasi scopo.
Examining the astronomical alignments of the main Egyptian monuments, the author shows that almost none of them is oriented to the rise or set of Sirius or Orion at the time of construction. How is it possible? The reader will discover that in reality all are oriented in some way to the rising points of the stars of Orion or Sirius when they were in the extreme phases of their cycle. Since there is not only one of the most important Egyptian monuments that escapes this rule of orientation, it is evident that it was the true "secret" technique behind these choices. Being a specialist in stellar astrology, in the last part of the book the author shows how these "stellar mechanisms" have worked well beyond the field of Archaeoastronomy. He illustrates the most important encadrement by declination - active for thousands of years and still active - involving some of the brightest stars in the firmament. We will see how and why Giza and Jerusalem been the places where it has most strongly manifested the greatest effects in the field of sacred and religions, albeit in different ways and for different reasons. The truth is that the Sacred Astronomy practiced by the Egyptians is completely unknown to contemporary scholars. Moreover it was not a simple belief or superstition of that people. It is the Supreme Science that describes how the cosmos really works, and not only for the events of sacred history. The Egyptian priests and initiates probably derived this knowledge from a tradition dating back to the dawn of time. Since these stellar configurations regulate not only the most important events of sacred and prophane history, but also the places the events that occur, their knowledge may open new scenarios for human knowledge, far superior and far more "radical" of the much acclaimed scientific discoveries that are not able to identify the primary and occult causes of events, nor to reveal the Mystery that surrounds our existence.
The readers of this book will have access to secret knowledge that has never been published before. This book explains how "the ascension to the stars" happens from the point of view of initiatory astrology, that is, how to choose and use certain astrological moments for the operations of the ascent of the planes. The aim is to delineate a Stellar Way for the "ascent to Heaven" up to the Supreme State, or at least to learn how to progressively bring the consciousness to higher levels with the help of certain "star maps" that we will learn to create, interpret and revive in our Microcosm. In fact, it is possible to transpose on the Celestial Sphere the traditional teachings about the higher states of being. The influence of the various parts of Heaven that colors the stars differently according to the various phases of their precessional cycle is one of the important things which is entirely unknown to modern astrologers, and was known only to the initiates of the most remote antiquity. It confirms the existence of a "secret" initiatory astrology, very different and much more useful and profound than that commonly practiced. The ascension to the higher states of being - up to the Supreme State - can take place only along the lines of the colures. This supreme state is represented by the point of intersection between the two colures, represented by the North Pole. As we will see in the course of the book, in order for this ascension to take place, it is necessary that there are stars along the colures, corresponding to various states of being that are like so many stations that one must pass through. At the same time, they are similar to vehicles that can transport us higher and higher. The higher the northern declination of the stars, the higher the state of being they represent, not because of their own nature, but because of the part of Heaven in which they are located The more one rises along the northern sky, the more one enters into a subtle and etheric dimension, which, precisely for this reason, can be inaccessible or traumatic for those who are not ready to get rid of the ego and the sense of corporeality. These ascensions also require the presence of one or more planets along the colures themselves. In fact, our first means of transport to detach ourselves from the earth will surely be one or more planets, since we cannot directly identify ourselves with the very high state of consciousness corresponding to a star. We will talk about all this in a very technical and in-depth way, including some examples. And we will do so after demonstrating how these particular stellar factors were well present and active in the periods when the greatest turning points in the history of human spirituality occurred. We shall thus examine the stars of the Buddha and those of Pythagoras, of Moses and Jesus, and much more. There are many clues that suggest that in the Commedia Dante described in the allegorical form a "stellar journey" very similar to the one we describe in this work. It is no coincidence that Dante concludes each cantica with the word "stars," and it is no coincidence that the last verse of each cantica is isolated, in the sense that it is not part of a triplet like all the others. All this must have a precise meaning because a medieval and sapiential poet like Dante did not do anything by chance or for simply "poetic" reasons. It is likely that Dante had access to initiatory knowledge about some traditional techniques of ascension to Heaven through the stars, and that is why he included in his poem so many references to the stars, closing each poem with an isolated verse ending with the word "stars". In Dante's time, the North Star was located on the equinoctial colure, and it is from the North Star that we will start to discover this secret message…
“Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws” (Confucius) In the first part, a powerful forecasting technique is exposed, applicable both to world astrology and to natal charts. This too is a new and at the same time traditional technique: to elaborate it, I started from the most ancient techniques of stellar astrology, already known and used by the Egyptians, namely the heliacal phases and the paranatellonta. My way of proceeding is always the same: we take the best of tradition and develop it, so as to enable it to express its full potential. In the second part we focus on the particular importance of the stars which rise or set heliacally, cosmically or achronically on the day of the spring Equinox or on the days around it. As we’ll see, even the stars in paran with the equinoctial Sun have greater strenght. It will be shown how these stars influence the characteristics and events of an epoch. In the third part we talk about some stellar influences that mark the great stages of human history and the epochal changes. Among these there is not only the change of precessional era, but also the change of the polar star and the stars and constellations which reach the points of minimum and maximum declination over the millennia. In particular, we focus on some possible ways of calculating the precessional eras based on the constellations, and not on the zodiac signs. We will see that a new age takes place by stages, and therefore these methods are not mutually exclusive, as each can lead us to dates that mark periods in which some characteristics and events of the new age become more evident. We will verify this by studying the start dates and events of the age of Aries, Pisces, and especially Aquarius ... The fourth part is focused on a technique for locating world events, based on the stars and constellations that rule a certain place, but also on the planets. It is a new technique that I have recently developed, but always using traditional principles and techniques. I have applied it to dozens of world events with excellent results. Obviously, first of all, we will explain how to identify stars, constellations, signs and planets which are in sympathy with a certain nation, and so rule it.

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) is one of the most famous and significant authors in the history of western esotericism. Crowley has been long ignored by scholars of religion whilst the stories of magical and sexual practice which circulate about him continue to attract popular interest. "Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics" looks at the man behind the myth - by setting him firmly within the politics of his time - and the development of his ideas through his extensive and extraordinarily varied writings. Crowley was a rationalist, sympathetic to the values of the Enlightenment, but also a romantic and a reactionary. His search for an alternative way to express his religious feelings led him to elaborate his own vision of social and political change. Crowley's complex politics led to his involvement with many key individuals, organisations and groups of his day - the secret service of various countries, the German Nazi party, Russian political activists, journalists and politicians of various persuasions, as well as other writers - both in Europe and America. "Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics" presents a life of ideas, an examination of a man shaped by and shaping the politics of his times.

The aim of this book is to apply the principles of stellar astrology to the field of medical astrology, in order to have a clearer picture, complete and "iconic" (thanks to the descriptive role of celestial images) of astrological factors that can lead to serious diseases. In fact, if we disregard the important role played by constellations, asterisms and stars in this area, it is very hard, nearly impossible, to predict whether certain critical factors of the birth chart will manifest as diseases or otherwise, and especially to predict whether these diseases will be serious. And this is because, as always in astrology, serious events are always signaled by a redundancy of astrological factors at various levels.I refer in particular to the role of celestial images and of the various parts composing them (which in most cases also correspond to various parts of the human body), the role of some stars (not only those of azemena), the importance in these analyses of the heliacal phases of stars and planets and the paran that accompany them, the parallels of declination between planets and between stars and planets, and other considerations that we expose in the following pages. I dedicate a great deal of space to the exposition of important principles of medical elective astrology. I refer both to those we have inherited from the astrological tradition and to the "new" ones that can be deduced on the one hand from the general principles of stellar astrology, and on the other hand from the concrete analysis of the birth charts of people who have had serious health problems (both fatal and healing cases) and of the great doctors who have dedicated their lives to the cure of diseases and the research of vaccines that have saved millions of lives.
Le Divinità primarie da cui tutte le altre derivano sono quelle astrali. Ciascuna di esse può diventare una Porta di accesso allo Stato supremo, che di solito è definito come l’Uno, ma che in realtà è più corretto definire come Non-Dualità. Scopo di questo libro è quello di illustrare le tecniche astrologiche che possono aiutarci a raccogliere con il massimo profitto spirituale queste energie cosmiche nei momenti in cui sono più disponibili per noi. Il Cielo, infatti, è pronto ad elargire i suoi doni, ma non ogni momento è quello giusto per ciascuno di noi. E poiché la cosiddetta “Illuminazione” è un dono delle stelle, più che dei pianeti (i quali svolgono un ruolo subordinato di semplici “attivatori), è soprattutto su queste che ci concentreremo, e in particolare sulle cosiddette “brillanti”, cioè le stelle più luminose del firmamento. In questo libro si illustra passo per passo la procedura da seguire: si parte dall’individuazione delle stelle natali e si arriva a individuare gli anni, i mesi e i giorni più favorevoli per operare. Ci riferiamo qui a ogni tipo di pratica spirituale, dalla meditazione alla magia, dalle religioni tradizionali all’uso degli psichedelici. Queste tecniche possono essere usate sia l’analisi del tema natale in chiave spirituale, sia in chiave elettiva, cioè per scegliere i momenti migliori per aprire una di queste Porte. La procedura viene poi applicata a cinque personaggi che hanno ricevuto questi particolari doni del Cielo. Infine, vedremo come creare talismani che rappresentano, in forme più o meno stilizzate e personalizzate, i paranatellonta di un momento importante, per esempio quelli del giorno che sceglierete per le vostre pratiche. Questi talismani sono un mezzo alquanto potente per attirare le energie cosmiche. Questo libro ha l’ambizione di insegnare un’arte difficile, un’arte che non è da tutti: l’arte di rubare il Fuoco agli Dei.
The techniques of mundane astrology inherited from tradition are not the most suitable for explaining and predicting events, as in reality they only capture the last links in the chain of celestial causes that underlie them. In fact, the primary causes of all events always and only reside in the Eighth Sphere, that is, in the sky of the constellations and fixed stars. In this book, the Stellar Astrology techniques are developed and applied to the real prediction of world events, but also to natal charts. Heaven and the stars that populate it are living beings. The various parts of the starry sky - constellations, parts of constellations (asterisms) and single stars - are not isolated, but communicate with each other, and therefore must be conceived as parts of a community, similarly to the relations between men who live on this earth. Indeed, our communities and our earthly bonds are nothing but the reflection and manifestation of these celestial bonds. And, just as happens between men and between specific groups of men, between some of these parts of the sky there are privileged relationships. This book explains which are the astronomical and astrological factors that highlight these ties of "kinship", thus also indicating the existence of similar relations existing between the things of the world linked to those stars. It is a real science, based on rigorous criteria, and in this book it is illustrated by providing the student with a general method that he can then apply to any person, thing or event he intends to study in depth. It will be seen how the identification of these stellar links is also essential for correctly interpreting a birth chart. Only in this way astrology becomes what it should always be, that is, the sapiential matter par excellence, as the only one capable of explaining and demonstrating the true nature and origin of earthly reality.
