Unravelling Cosmic Mysteries A Review of Santos Bonacci's Astro-Theological Discourse: “Know Thyself: The Oracle of Delphi (Part 1) Video Lecture

Paul A. Silva

Abstract


This review explores Santos Bonacci's investigation of astro-theology, investigating its connection with celestial phenomena, theology, and philosophy (Bonacci, Syncretism & Astro theology). It analyses pivotal themes including celestial alignments, astrological symbolism, the concept of ages, the role of love, the Great Year cycle, and the ancient understanding of precession. Through a multidisciplinary approach, Bonacci sheds light on the interplay between cosmic cycles and human existence, providing a profound perspective on the universe and our position within it (ibid.).
