• ASTROLOGY THEOLOGIZED: THE SPIRITUAL HERMENEUTICS OF ASTROLOGY AND HOLY WRIT – A Treatise upon the Influence of the Stars on Man and on the Art of Ruling Them by the Law of Grace. Translation and long prefatory essay by Anna Kingsford, from the original by Valentine Weigelius, 1649. George Redway, London, 1886. 121 pp.

            Information: This work by Valentine Weigelius, translated by Anna Kingsford, was already in the Internet in the site: http://www.passtheword.org/DIALOGS-FROM-THE-PAST/weigel.htm – without, however, any reference to the fact that the translation was done by Anna Kingsford, and also without her prefatory essay. Only the publication date was given there: 1886. This does not speak well of this site. We do not know exactly the reasons of this omission. Apparently; however, it is due to some form or mere sectarianism.
