Oooh fun, love this theory of the AoA starting in the early/mid 1400s. It makes sense to chart is against historical record. That's when tarot emerged (in Northern Italy), as well as the printing press (as you mention), and, later that century, the Doctrine of Discovery (completely reshaping the world).

Another book you might be interested in is The TYCHOS Our Geoaxial Binary System…. In it he argued that we are likely in a double binary system and the binary star system we live in is with the Sun and Mars. Sri Yukteswar, In The Holy Science basically says we are in a double binary… that’s how I read it! Anyhow here’s the link https://www.tychos.space - it’s a free book on another note… they have found that precession is speeding up… so 72 might be an average… In the Tychos the great year is 25344yrs

Amazing writing. So good. The Enlightenment has always stuck out as being significant. So much shifted.

This seems to make sense. After all, it's not like it goes from the darkness of night straight into brilliant daylight - the two are separated by the rising dawn. And, as they say, the darkness has its greatest influence just before the sun comes up. The witching hour and all that. Though, it seems strange, in this context anyway, that there isn't a similar aphorism about dusk (at least that I'm aware of). It doesn't seem to work in both directions. That might be something to ponder....

Great article, Dan! I look forward to your collaboration with Terry MacKinnell.
