As fiery as the sun, as moody as the moon


Book Description

The lotus is a beautiful, colorful flower that typically grows in the filthiest of swamps, blooming out of the mud. When the load of the world starts to weigh heavy, pick up this book and read yourself into another world. A world where you can find some comfort in knowing you are not alone. Even in your darkest moments, even on your worst days, someone else out there begs the stars just as you are. Help yourself to the sensations each entry brings you and leave behind the worry of tomorrow if only for a moment. When I first started writing, it was just an outlet for me to unleash all I felt inside. I was stuck in such a dark place mentally and emotionally. I felt as if I was dragging my feet through mud. I wanted that to show in my writing. To be quite honest, I wanted anyone who read my entries to feel that darkness seeping through every word. Then along the way, the universe had a special new journey waiting for me. Once I accepted this new road, I began to heal myself, and slowly I began to feel other colors, and from the mud, I was buried in I started to bloom like the lotus flower I was always meant to be. Along these pages, you will read first hand the process of healing and how different each day truly is. No path is linear; no path is the same. I invite you inside, and I thank you for being willing to dip your toes in the ocean that is my writing. Before you begin, I need you to know that you too can rise up and bloom from your own dark pool of mud. Stand tall, love yourself, and shine on, you fiery moonchild.

Astronomical Knowledge Transmission Through Illustrated Aratea Manuscripts


Book Description

This carefully researched monograph is a historical investigation of the illustrated Aratea astronomical manuscript and its many interpretations over the centuries. Aratus' 270 B.C.E. Greek poem describing the constellations and astrological phenomena was translated and copied over 800 years into illuminated manuscripts that preserved and illustrated these ancient stories about the constellations. The Aratea survives in its entirety due to multiple translations from Greek to Latin and even to Arabic, with many illuminated versions being commissioned over the ages. The survey encompasses four interrelated disciplines: history of literature, history of myth, history of science, and history of art. Aratea manuscripts by their nature are a meeting place of these distinct branches, and the culling of information from historical literature and from the manuscripts themselves focuses on a wider, holistic view; a narrow approach could not provide a proper prospective. What is most essential to know about this work is that because of its successive incarnations it has survived and been reinterpreted through the centuries, which speaks to its importance in all of these disciplines. This book brings a better understanding of the history, changes and transmission of the original astronomical Phaenomena poem. Historians, art historians, astronomy lovers, and historians of astronomy will learn more specialized details concerning the Aratea and how the tradition survived from the Middle Ages. It is a credit to the poetry of Aratus and the later interpreters of the text that its pagan aspects were not edited nor removed, but respected and maintained in the exact same form despite the fact that all sixty Aratea manuscripts mentioned in this study were produced under the rule of Christianity.
