Astrology. The library of esoterica

2020ill., ril. Fin dagli albori della storia, individui di ogni cultura e credo religioso hanno guardato al cielo in cerca di un significato. Da millenni l'astrologia studia il movimento dei corpi celesti e la loro interazione con le nostre vite. Questa pratica ha ispirato venerazione e adorazione e ci ha permesso di approfondire la nostra comprensione di noi stessi e del mondo che ci circonda. Oggi la forma più diffusa di conoscenza astrologica è probabilmente rappresentata dai moderni oroscopi, ma le loro radici affondano nell'antichità babilonese, egizia e greca. Andrea Richards, autrice di Astrology, secondo volume della serie Taschen Library of Esoterica, racconta come un tempo astronomia e astrologia procedessero di pari passo: nella Grande piramide di Giza la camera del re era allineata alle costellazioni, Greci e Persiani gareggiavano per la costruzione del primo osservatorio, e i Medici si rivolgevano a Galileo in persona per conoscere il loro oroscopo. Tuttavia, con l'avvento dell'Illuminismo e delle scienze esatte, l'astrologia fu relegata a quei contesti in cui c'era ancora spazio per il mistero, divenendo fonte d'ispirazione per letteratura, arte e psicologia e influenzando artisti e pensatori come Goethe, Byron e Blake. Movimenti più recenti come quelli di matrice teosofica e new age hanno reso molto popolare tale pratica. Questa vivace storia visiva dell'astrologia occidentale, a cura di Jessica Hundley, è un compendio unico nel suo genere, che esplora i significati simbolici di oltre 500 immagini, dalle pitture rupestri ai manoscritti miniati, fino all'arte contemporanea di tutto il mondo. Pagina dopo pagina si susseguono illustrazioni di artisti come Leonora Carrington, Alphonse Mucha e Hilma af Klint che riproducono il moto dei pianeti e la ruota dello zodiaco, accompagnate da citazioni di Keplero, Copernico e Campbell. Con una prefazione della leggendaria astrologa Susan Miller e brani tratti da interviste recenti con astrologi contemporanei quali Jessica Lanydoo e Pam Younghans, Astrology è una celebrazione delle stelle e della loro misteriosa influenza sul nostro vissuto quotidiano.
