Description
The spiritual evolution of Western civilization has been shaped by the precessional ages of history and the symbolism of the zodiac. Maria Kay Simms explores this connection in "Twelve Wings of the Eagle", tracing the development of human spirituality from ancient times to the present day. Through a study of biblical Genesis, Exodus, and the gospels, as well as her own class discussions with students, Simms reveals how astrology has been used to understand the world and our place within it. She argues that this ancient practice reflects the matriarchal roots of humanity, which have been increasingly dominated by patriarchal forces. The book concludes with a vision of an eagle with twelve wings, symbolizing hope for a future where human spirituality is reborn. First published in 1988, "Twelve Wings of the Eagle" remains a thought-provoking exploration of the connections between faith, reason, and the natural world.
