Already a member? Log inSantos Bonacci is a longstanding researcher in astrology, religious symbolism and alchemy, weaving those threads into a perspective he calls syncretism. He is best known for his work on astro-theology, which traces the astrological roots of religious iconography across cultures worldwide, and he joins Chance Garton here to argue that one original religion sits underneath every tradition we think of as separate.
This conversation gets into the Circuit of Galilee and the twelve disciples as a zodiac, etymology as atomology and the claim that speech conditions the body, chrism oil and the biology hidden inside the Christ story, the case for tropical astrology over sidereal, Velikovsky's argument that the sun was slowed when Venus entered the system, and Santos reading the moon as a luminous portal rather than a solid sphere.
