Annual General Meeting
2.00 pm Saturday 16th November 2013
South Melbourne Community Centre
Corner Park Street and Ferrars Place
South Melbourne
The AGM will be immediately followed by Brian Clark presenting a lecture entitled:
Muses of Heaven
While the early Greeks did not literally observe the skyscape astrologically as their Egyptian and Babylonian counterparts did, nonetheless early references to the heavens are embedded in their myths and epic literature. My intention in this lecture is to muse on the imagination of the heavens and consider how there always was a revelatory storybook for anyone who joined the starry dots together. Before we were conscious of measuring and mapping the starry heavens they were mnemonics for the life experience. Astrology, as divination by the stars, is still in part revelation from the night world and its imagination reminds us of the right-hemisphere of the heavens, long before the left hemisphere’s measurements cleaved its distance from the imaginative reading of the stars. I would like to tell a story of astrology before it became a history.
