Hello again Marianna,
I am not an expert in astrology, but what you say again seems promising;
thanks for sharing with me a Yeats vision ;-) ; BTW your second site is
really substantial, I am grateful for that.
My own contribution - the last one for today I am afraid - is not that
enriching; look :
Book, two, Celestial Magic, Part one:
Chap. xlvi. Of the Images of the Mansions of the Moon.
"They made also Images for evert Mansion of the Moon"
"In the three and twentieth, for destruction and wasting, they made a seal
of Iron, being the image of a Cat, having a Dogs head, and they perfumed it
with the hairs of a Dogs head, and buried it in the place where they did
pretend to hurt."
In one word, you are right, Agrippa told that, IMHO. Good moonlight
illuminated night,
Jean
P.S. What is to deduce from all that stuff is really a ten thousand dollars
question, hey? Yes there certainly is some magical significance in the
VMS I definitely agree. Have you an explanation for the twofold presence of
Aries and Taurus?

Hello Jean
Yes I would be very interested to hear more
about the 23. mansion! It has occurred to me that maybe the 'm'
after the 'portas' in the last page of VMs is
is not the letter m, but denotes Scorpio or Virgo, since the symbols used
for these zodiacal signs resemble the letter m very much (for example the
picture on
http://www.astrology-online.com/persn.htm ). What
is very interesting is that acc. to Agrippa, the image associated with
station 23. is 'a cat with a dog's head', which seems to be exactly
what we see in the Scorpio page of VMs... All this at least points
towards a definite magical content of the strange words in the last
page of VMs.
Unfortunately, there seems to be much
confusion with the actual locations of the mansions within zodiacal due
to the fact that the equinoxes (and consequently the starting places of the
signs) shift about 1 degree for every 70 years. E.g. in http://www.yeatsvision.com/Mansions.html the
Sabadalo is number 24, for some reason.

Hi Marianna
Book 2 Chap 33 of Occulta Philosophia:
"the three and twentieth is called Zabadola or
Zobrach that is swallowing; it maketh for divorce, liberty of
captives and the health of the sick"
Well done and it s a very special anagram! Hem I am partly of Catalan
extraction and you? Oh forget it! :-(
P.S. there seems to be an other mention of the stations in chapter
46. Interested?

Hello All,
I just noticed an interesting detail: in
Imperio's book, in the list of the stations of the Moon, station number
23 is 'Sabadalo' according to Agrippa (1970). An this is, of course, an
anagram of 'oladabas'. :-)
