- The John Dee Society site
seems to consist mostly of an online book and a thesis, as well as a
lot of links. - A good site about Astrology.
I used to have a good book about Astrology – I think it was The
compleat Astrologer, by Derek and Julia Parker – lots of nice pictures
and charts, but I remember detesting it – I would have prefered a book
about Astronomy. I think Astrology is so mainstream that it’s pretty
dead as an occult system, but it still has a lot of cool symbolism and
crunchy bits (as they say in gaming), so I’m curious if bits of it can
be pinched for use in designing a roleplaying game.
It’s interesting how “uncool” Astrology has become among geeks (myself
not only included, but put forth as a prime example). Even hardcore
rationalists (and I guess I am, sorta) can find stuff like Tarot
intriguing (if only as a fictional/dramatic tool), but even geeks with
New Age leanings will probably prefer nearly anything to Astrology.
