The Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century {1825}











The Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century in quite dramatic prose, covers a multitude of occult topics in ten chapters, or “circles” —————————————————————
• Circle 1 is on necromancy
• Circle 2 describes several historical disasters and the omens that foretold them
• Circle 3 concerns raising spirits from the dead with magic charms and incantations
• Circle 4 is a how-to guide on astrology
• Circle 5 identifies some brilliant prophecies that have come true
• Circle 6 astrologically explains the lives of several illustrious people
• Circle 7 is about geomancy (telling the future from patterns of dots)
• Circle 8 offers various charms and talismans
• Circle 9 recounts stories of ghosts and other supernatural phenomena
• Circle 10 houses material that doesn’t fit neatly in the other circles, including reflections on the Philosopher’s Stone and a method for making trees more fruitful: “The seeds of roses, with mustard-seed, and the foot of a weasel, tied together in something, and hung among the boughs or branches of a tree which bears but little fruit, will remedy the defect, and render the tree amazingly fruitful.”
