Astrology books

Now, one thing I won’t be recommending to you here is Astrology or Tarot books on Amazon. The alleged wholesale ripping off of astrological authors on there, if true, is totally unacceptable.

Whilst some of my colleagues may continue to list their work on Amazon to reach people, which I fully respect, there are other astrological booksellers out there, and I want to introduce you to a very dedicated astrological librarian and learned scholar, Philip Graves and what he offers in the world of astrology books.

Philip is a very rare person in a world jam-packed with self-interest. He painstakingly curates the Astrological Association’s prized collection of books, and if you are a member of the Association, it is possible to visit (with a prearranged mutually agreed appointment) to view these for a modest fee.

However, Philip also sells astrology books directly. Books that he finds and sells the world over, Now, to be honest, these may be a the more technical end of the spectrum, but if you want to elevate your knowledge, please do check out his brilliant collection for sale here…

If you are starting out, I would like to share one book that I did find very valuable to me on my journey called The Astrologer’s Handbook by Sakoin & Acker. Which Philip does have in stock, at present.

Finally (and thank you so much for reading) I’d like to share a very powerful book, that was so incredibly ahead of its time (I feel) in terms of understanding the way in which different parts of society, with differing creeds, cultures and backgrounds, would be developing in a more intertwined and converging way, through the wider use of air travel but was far ahead of its time. It was written by the quite legendary, Nevil Shutt. Although he wrote lots of books and many became more famous than this one, if you do find a copy of “Round the Bend” I hope you would find it as enriching as I did.

The book DOES have astrology in it, but so much more too. He was unique because he was a brilliant Air Craft Designer, a Capricorn BTW, who ran his own manufacturing company. Compared to today’s way of describing and characterizing things, it does feel very dated, and incredibly politically incorrect! Yet, it is the heart of it which is the key, and how he understood human nature, and how people from different backgrounds can work harmoniously together – if we give it a chance.
