The Congo Basin had some of the most unique forms of indigenous proto-urbanism featuring near-grid-like settlement patterns; straight streets over 40ft wide, and square houses built in parallel lines

Venus returns to Libra today. Huzzah! Great rejoicing! From exile in Scorpio back to her own home. Every homecoming echoes Odysseus's. For Homer's Neoplatonist readers, the return to Ithaca is the rational soul's path back to reality.

Greek Magical Papyri, LVII.14–28: “As you burn savin juniper together with the papyrus strip, say: “Isis, pure maiden, give me a sign of the outcomes. Uncover your holy veil, shake out the black fold of your garment, and set in motion the constellation of the Great Bear.” When you have said these names and have at the same time unfolded your hands, lift the edge of your hand from your chest. Because you will see a star driven to you by compulsion, into which you will gaze intensely, after it has launched rays like darts and leapt towards you yourself, so that you become god-struck. Hold the charakter ready at hand, for it is the symbol of Kronos, which gives you courage.”
“O Bear, greatest of goddesses, ruler of heaven, sovereign of the pole of the stars! Supreme goddess, beautifully radiant, imperishable element, structure of the universe, shining upon all things, harmony of the whole! You who stand upon the celestial pole, whom the Lord God appointed to rotate the holy pole with a powerful hand.” —Greek Magical Papyri, IV.1301–1307.

Sometimes a Greek vase takes my breath away. This vase-painter depicts a stone statue of Heracles, his lionskin being painted encaustically by an artist with pigmented hot wax melted by an attendant on a brazier. Heracles comes to inspect, his dad Zeus and a winged Victory aloft.

A Platonist Odyssey is now a recorded course you can start today. Six classes reading Homer as Proclus did: the Sirens, Circe, Zeus and Hera, the descent to Hades, Achilles the theurgist — as symbols of how the world and the soul work. No prior Homer or Neoplatonism needed.
