The Decans: Images and Applications 8 Recording Series

The decans, the 36 faces of the zodiac, offer astrology a tremendous level of texture and depth.  Though long-neglected, the decans conceal a gleaming hoard of riches- a gallery of images with inestimable value to the student of esotericism.

This 6 week class explores the application of the decans or faces to astrology.  We’ll take the time to explore the rich historical symbolism of each decan and look at example charts which illustrate the themes which the ancient images allude to.

In addition to spending time with each and every one of the 36 decans, we’ll also cover the general rules which concern their use.  We’ll deal with what “dignity by face” is and how it works in practice. Furthermore, we’ll also take a look at how the decans have been used in various magical systems, and go over the traditional method for creating talismans based on the decans.
