Book – PDF Austin Coppock - 36 Faces: The History, Astrology and Magic of the Decans (scan)

[HoldAll]

In the most ancient systems of astrology, a patterning known as the Decans divided the earth’s sky into 36 sections, each of which had a distinct emblem or 'Face'. More than just a curious footnote in the history of archaeo-astronomy, the Decans are a thread that spans over four millennia of astrological and magical history, linking ancient Egypt with the Hellenistic world, the Arabian empire, India, the European Renaissance and even the present. Over time, these 36 ‘Faces of Heaven’ have moved with the occult corpus of Hermetic material, reappearing in the starry wisdom of culture after culture. As a gear in astrology’s encompassing clockworks, the Decans have also long been a key to accessing legions of spirits. For several millennia and in multiple cultures, magicians have looked at these 36 faces and seen gods, choirs of angels, hordes of demons, and a host of spirits staring back at them, each with its own unique powers. Far from going undocumented, this gallery of faces has been painted and drawn by a host of astrologers, sorcerers and artists, and they can be found on walls of Italian villas as well as in the pages of European grimoires. Weaving together astrology and magic, divination and sorcery, time and sky, this thread of esoteric history deserves more than the footnotes it has so far received. In this work, Austin Coppock follows the Decans through history, charting their trajectory through time and culture. Each Decan, its image, and its specific powers are examined in detail, as well as its permutations in the planetary aspects. Featuring original images specially created for each Decan by Bob Eames, 36 Faces is an invaluable resource for magicians, astrologers, and historians of magical semiotics, as well as the modern student of Hermeticism.

Dans les systèmes d'astrologie les plus anciens, un motif connu sous le nom de Décans divisait le ciel terrestre en 36 sections, chacune ayant un emblème ou « visage » distinct. Plus qu'une curieuse note de bas de page dans l'histoire de l'archéoastronomie, les Décans constituent un fil conducteur qui s'étend sur quatre millénaires d'histoire astrologique et magique, reliant l'Égypte ancienne au monde hellénistique, à l'empire d'Arabie, à l'Inde, à la Renaissance européenne et même à l'Antiquité. présent. Au fil du temps, ces 36 « Visages du Ciel » ont évolué avec le corpus occulte du matériel hermétique, réapparaissant dans la sagesse étoilée de culture après culture. En tant qu'engrenage du mécanisme d'horlogerie de l'astrologie, les Décans ont également longtemps été une clé pour accéder aux légions d'esprits. Depuis plusieurs millénaires et dans de multiples cultures, les magiciens ont regardé ces 36 visages et ont vu des dieux, des chœurs d'anges, des hordes de démons et une foule d'esprits les regardant, chacun avec ses propres pouvoirs uniques. Loin d'être inédite, cette galerie de visages a été peinte et dessinée par une multitude d'astrologues, de sorciers et d'artistes, et on la retrouve aussi bien sur les murs des villas italiennes que dans les pages des grimoires européens. Tissant ensemble l'astrologie et la magie, la divination et la sorcellerie, le temps et le ciel, ce fil d'histoire ésotérique mérite plus que les notes de bas de page qu'il a reçues jusqu'à présent. Dans cette œuvre, Austin Coppock suit les Décans à travers l’histoire, traçant leur trajectoire à travers le temps et la culture. Chaque Décan, son image et ses pouvoirs spécifiques sont examinés en détail, ainsi que ses permutations dans les aspects planétaires. Présentant des images originales spécialement créées pour chaque décan par Bob Eames, 36 Faces est une ressource inestimable pour les magiciens, les astrologues et les historiens de la sémiotique magique, ainsi que pour l'étudiant moderne de l'hermétisme.
