A Greek-period bronze sculpture of a lizard, lounging on a block. It looks incredibly realistic, & looks like the sculptor may have based it on an actual individual lizard - it is a beautiful piece of ancient animal art 🦎

An amazing piece of ancient art - a bronze sculpture of a seated boxer, often known as the 'Boxer at Rest', which was excavated in in 1885. He is depicted sitting down, probably moments after a fight, still wearing his boxing gloves.

Like many modern astrologers I've been wresting with the different house systems. This cymatics image by Shawn Picarsic, a photo of vibration upon water, provides clearer understanding of why it's appropriate to shift my focus from Placidus to Whole sign houses. It's how Nature behaves.

Calling all and – I'm a course next term. Does anyone have advice re good sourcebooks (in English translation) and/or textbooks? Looking for a good balance of and documentary/epigraphic sources. My go-to is Austin's sourcebook with supplemental readings (i.e., modern scholarship), but wondering what else people have enjoyed working with

Choosing of the Seven
Now about this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, a complaint was made by the Hellenists (Greek-speaking Jews) against the [native] Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food.

So he [obeyed and] went away and began to publicly proclaim in Decapolis [the region of the ten Hellenistic cities] all the great things that Jesus had done for him; and all the people were astonished.

RT @DrJEBall: A beautiful or glass bowl, with a colourful cane-formed pattern in blue, purple, & green, with black & white stripes along the rim. It was made between 200-100BC in the eastern Mediterranean - looking good for a 2000+ year old piece of crockery!
