Description
An Astrological Key to Biblical Symbolism by Ellen Conroy McCaffery (1975, HC). An Astrological Key to Biblical Symbolism by Ellen Conroy McCaffery (first published 1975) interprets biblical narratives and figures through an astrological lens, viewing them as allegories for psychological and spiritual development. It focuses on transforming emotions and understanding the soul's journey, often linking concepts like baptism to purification and the seven deadly sins to virtues, using astrology as a scientific framework for spiritual growth. Key Concepts in the Book: Biblical Figures as Archetypes: McCaffery translates biblical characters and stories into symbolic representations of inner states and developmental stages. Astrology as a Spiritual Science: The book uses astrological principles (planets, signs, houses) to decode the deeper, esoteric meanings within the Bible, moving beyond literal interpretations. Emotional Transformation: A core theme is using biblical lessons (like the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit) to guide the purification and transformation of negative emotions into positive virtues, promoting balance and reason. Initiation & Growth: Symbols like baptism are seen as rites of purification, marking stages of spiritual initiation and growth, with advanced study focusing on the interplay of mind, body, and soul.
