The Light of Egypt

About this book

A horoscope can become a diagram of spiritual development, while the heavens serve as a vast symbolic language. Thomas H. Burgoyne attempts to explain the soul's progress through an elaborate system of occult astrology.

The Light of Egypt combines cosmic theory, spiritual instruction and the vocabulary of nineteenth-century esoteric schools. Its account of the human being belongs to an astrological philosophy whose assumptions differ sharply from modern astronomy. Within that system, every sign and planetary relationship is part of a larger question about destiny and consciousness.
