Blinded by Starlight: The Pineal Gland and Western Astronomia
Author: Frank McGillion
Early scientists and physician-astrologers considered that the effects the planets have on us was by way of the 'third eye' - the pineal gland. The author, himself from a scientific background, explores the idea that this effect is also responsible for other phenomena like water divining, and the innate ability of humans to navigate. A fascinating and absorbing read.
