Fun fact
Kaldera succeeds in revitalizing astrology as a tactile, magical tool rather than a passive prediction system. The compendium of remedies is its strongest asset, offering immediate utility for practitioners. However, those seeking rigorous academic astrological theory will find it lacking. It sits firmly in the niche of practical folk witchcraft, ideal for the intuitive mage who wants to get their hands dirty with the stars.

A guide to the practice of planetary magic - Offers tools for practitioners of green magic and folk magic to incorporate astrology into their practice - Includes an extensive collection of magical remedies to resolve astrological afflictions - Provides information on creating planetary altars and the astrological correspondences of traditional pagan holidays Traditionally, magically oriented astrology has focused on Sun-sign horoscopes while modern Western astrology has focused on attempting to become as "scientific" as possible in hopes of aligning with its sister science of astronomy. In Pagan Astrology, Raven Kaldera, a practicing astrologer and Pagan shaman, uses the commonalities and strengths of Western astrology and Pagan green magic to introduce a hands-on astrological practice that incorporates intuition, spells, and other modes of folk magic into astrology. Kaldera includes an extensive compendium of modern magical remedies to counteract negative astrological influences and shows how to use planetary energy to aid Pagan worship and green magic practice through spell casting, love magic, and shamanic stargazing. Kaldera also explains how to create planetary altars that enhance the astrological correspondences of traditional Pagan holidays using the tools of folk magic. Practitioners of green and folk magic and those who love traditional astrology will welcome this unique approach to planetary magic.

Kaldera delivers a robust bridge between esoteric astrology and living pagan traditions, emphasizing intuition and folk wisdom. The text excels in providing a practical framework for spell-casting and planetary magic, offering clear methods for using specific remedies and altars. However, it does not suit those seeking rigorous academic astrology or detached theoretical analysis. Readers expecting complex mathematical chart interpretations will likely find the focus on tangible tools and green magic too simplistic. It is best appreciated by practitioners willing to embrace a hands-on, intuitive approach to celestial influence rather than one bound by strict astrological rules.

Exactly as described

Was skeptical at first. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Glad I finally picked this up.

Solid edition

Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The font runs small in the appendices. Recommended with reservations.

Solid edition

Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. Every rereading turns up something I missed. A text you study rather than simply read. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Happy enough with the purchase.

A treasure

Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Great value for what you get.

Deep and rewarding

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
