"When the Dragon Wore the Crown-Center and Circle covers a period of approximately six thousand years, focusing primarily on what astrologers would call the Ages of Gemini, Taurus and Aries, and the classical astronomy of the Greeks and Romans. It opens and closes with the Chinese tradition, and touches on Sumerian, Babylonian, Hindu, Norse and Mayan cultures and their mythology and astronomy weaving together many of their celestial serpentine similarities. The book primarily focuses on the role of the Dragon, the astronomical marker of the North Celestial Pole for literally thousands of years. The earthshaking importance of this simple astronomical fact helped open the door to navigation, farming, and social organization. The cycle of the seasons was marked by this cadence, and the moving center protected the secret of the circle, the Divine Circle, for literally thousands of years. Without the correct center, you did not have the correct circle. Don Cerow shows how the Dragon was the solitary guardian of the secret of the center, of the magic forged by the circle, a gem of incalculable worth"--Provided by publisher.
