"As thoughtful as it is readable, Renna Shesso's Math for Mystics is the book I wish I had when I first started trying to make sense of the mathematics that underline so much of modern magic and traditional occult lore. Not the least of its virtues is the way it makes magical number theory accessible even to those who think they don't like or can't handle math. A first-rated introduction to an unfairly neglected branch of magical lore."
- John Michael Greer, Grand Archdruid, Ancient Order of Druids in America and author of The Druidry Handbook and The Art and Practice of Geomancy
"Much of what we know as math comes to us directly from early astronomer magi who need to be able to describe and record what they saw in the night sky. Everyone needed math: whether you were the queen's astrologer or a farmer determining the right time for planting, numbers mattered. Mistake a numerical patterns of petals and you could poison yourself. Lose the rhythm of a sacred dance or the meter of a ritually told story and the threads that hold life together would unravel. Ignore the celestial clock of equinoxes and solstice and you'd risk being caught short of food for the winter. "
- from the book
"In times past, Math was seen as magic for its power and associations. It was even banned by authorities who thought it a threat - a power that no one else should hold. In this book, that ancient magic is relived, and the power yours."
-Jeff Hoke, author of the museum of lost wonder
This book makes math, and especially sacred math, easy to understand. It begins with the simplest lunar and planetary math and then tackles the most enigmatie numerical esoterica such as Platonic Solids, the Golden Section, Luna's Labyrinth, and - Benjamin Franklin's favourite - Magical Squares, something like 17th- century sudoku. Whether you want to understand the Fibonacci Sequence from Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code or just have a passion for cool number games, this book is for you!
