[continued]

It is possible that this body of knowledge* also strongly influenced mystical Christian and Islamic (or earlier) sects such as Gnosticism and Sufi-ism (cf. the dance in the Apocryphal Gospel of John), and through them, or in other ways, emerged as oral and written literature in Quest romances (and some myths?), culminating in the Arthurian/Grail Romance, of which more modern fairy tales and romantic novels may be a degenerate form (It is odd how all our forms seem to be degenerate ones....). (Have modern “psychological” novels degenerated still further in that they are not even seeking, just suffering?)

Questions and areas of study which I should like to follow up in depth if I can include:

• The Eysenck** [sic] and similar studies on incidence of birthdate clusters for professions, conditions etc..
• French studies on planetary influences as above (I have hardly been able to include the planets at all, despite – or perhaps because of – the fact that a physical effect is more likely to be explicable).
• The Greek myths (or early ones?) as represented in their Constellations.
• Early Astrology, especially Babylonian and pre-Babylonian.
• The Gospels in depth particularly.
• Gnosticism, Sufi-ism, and their predecessors (if available).
• ?Jung's views (and other psychological approaches).
• Analyses of Tarot Pack significance.
