Informação: Este texto completo, traduzido por Anna Kingsford, já se encontrava na Internet no site: http://www.passtheword.org/DIALOGS-FROM-THE-PAST/weigel.htm – sem, no entanto, qualquer referência ao fato de que a obra foi traduzida por Anna Kingsford, e também sem o seu ensaio introdutório, constando ali apenas a data de sua publicação: 1886. Isso é algo bastante desabonador a esse site. Não sabemos ao certo as razões dessa omissão, contudo, aparentemente, trata-se de alguma forma de mero sectarismo.

“Astrologie Theologized.”

herein is set forth what Astrologie, and the light of Nature is. What Influence the Starres naturally have on Man, and how the same may be diverted, and avoided.

AS ALSO
