Stellar Magic: Mythic Insights and Magical Uses of Fixed Stars in Astrology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781578638666)

An easily accessible guide to the fifteen Behenian fixed stars that can inspire you to engage with the stars, the whole sky, and yourself and help you to trust your own ability to tune in to what's already there.

In Stellar Magic, author and astrologer Chloe Margherita takes us to the furthest edges of the glimmering heavens to introduce us to the myths, the magic, and the insight the fixed stars can provide. The fixed stars are a vital, soulful, yet often overlooked branch of astrology.

Though they mark the farthest visible heavens, their presence is intimate and deeply integrated into our dreams, visions, and daily life. Focusing on the fifteen Behenian fixed stars, which are most often used in magical workings, this book aims to connect us with the numinous and help us deepen our relationship with the sky.

The Behenian fixed stars have a magical legacy that goes back to at least the 3rd century CE, and their magical use is enshrined in the works of Hermes Trismegistus and the Egyptian scribe god Thoth. In addition to in-depth essays on the stars, this book will provide rituals, gemstone and herbal correspondences, recipes and embodied ideas, and ways to connect with the stars from the earthly realms. Stellar Magic will help you to understand the stars with your heart as well as your mind and to discover your own relationship with these stellar deities.

Stellar Magic offers opportunities for a direct connection with fixed-star allies to help strengthen your spiritual, creative, and mundane life by showing you how to tune in to their presence, which was always there.
