<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Much of math history comes to us from early astrologers who needed to be able to describe and record what they saw in the night sky. Whether you were the king's court astrologer or a farmer marking the best time for planting, timekeeping and numbers really mattered. Mistake a numerical pattern of petals and you could be poisoned. Lose the rhythm of a sacred dance or the meter of a ritually told story and the intricately woven threads that hold life together were spoiled. Ignore the celestial clock of equinoxes and solstices, and you'd risk being caught short of food for the winter.</p><p>Shesso's friendly tone and clear grasp of the information make the math go down easy in this marvelous book.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As thoughtful as it is readable, Renna Shesso's <i>Math for Mystics</i> is the book I wish I had when I first started trying to make sense of the mathematics that underlie so much of modern magic and traditional occult lore. Not the least of its virtues is the way it makes magical number theory accessible even to those who think they don't like or can't handle math. It provides a firstrate introduction to a fairly neglected branch of magical lore."--John Michael Greer, Grand Archdruid, Ancient Order of Druids in America and author of The Druidry Handbook<br><br>"In times past, math was seen as magic for its power and associations. It was even banned by authorities who thought it a threata power that no one else should hold. In this book, that ancient magic is relived, and the power yours."--Jeff Hoke, author of The Museum of Lost Wonder<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Renna Shesso</b> has been a student of mystical traditions and spiritual selfdiscovery since the late 1960s.
