Reclaim the Magic of Old World Astrology!
Astrology has impacted civilizations worldwide and throughout history. It has greatly influenced the philosophy, religion, art, and magic of Western culture and has inspired countless decisions in the lives of people from every level of society. Traditional Western astrology differs from your typical daily Sun-sign horoscopes. While it still follows the course of the Zodiac through the Heavens, it focuses on the powers of the seven classical planets—great celestial spheres that the ancients gazed upon for guidance and wisdom.
Traditional astrology is a holistic framework that melds the influence of the stars with your experience here on Earth to help you understand the Cosmos, your place within it, and how to harness its power to transform your fate. With it, you can integrate the entire vision of the Heavens into your magical and divinatory practices, for traditional Astrology is the cosmic playing field upon which both magic and divination intertwine.

Praise FOR THE ART COSMIC
“The Art Cosmic: The Magic of Traditional Astrology is both fascinating and brilliant at the same time. The author weaves some of the ancient traditions of astrology into a wonderful approach capturing its magic embedded in the symbolism of the planets. Levi Rowland includes in the book a firsthand experience of the planets in the form of guided rituals. I have never read a traditional astrology book so thoroughly researched. The author brings the art and science of astrology from its ancient past into the modern time period of today stimulating our creative imagination. The writing is a unique user-friendly tool to empower the reader. Whether you are new to astrology or a well-informed student or even a professional astrologer I highly recommend this book!”
“With so many books rehashing the same 101 material, it is so sweet to read something fresh and intriguing. Levi Rowland’s The Art Cosmic: the Magic of Traditional Astrology is a delight from first to last. It encourages the reader to think beyond Sun/Moon/Venus and understand how to use the tools of astrology in the service of magic. I recommend it.”
“Not since Patricia Crowther has an Initiate of the Craft been so inspired to bring to the public his perspective and insights of the myths, innate energies and ecstatic rituals of the seven luminaries. These vast powers have inspired us from the dawn of civilization to our present-day exploration of the universe. Levi Rowland’s new book, The Art Cosmic, will be a valued addition to any a occultist’s shelf. Whether you’re a novice or astrological adept, this work will inevitably enhance your practice and understanding of classical astrology. A must read for any magician or witch who is drawn to taking on the mantle of that magic—which comes from heaven itself.”
“In the vast sea of repetitive and reductive astrology books that we have seen over the past few years, Levi Rowland has finally given us something new. Rowland’s approach to astrology and magic is refreshing, and The Art Cosmic is innovative and groundbreaking. If there is one book on astrological magic that you buy this year, this is the one!”
“As an enthusiastic practitioner of Traditional Astrology, I read Levi Rowland’s book with great interest, growing enthusiasm and admiration. The Art Cosmic is a book that beginners will enjoy as well as practitioners with some experience. Rowland takes the reader through the seven planets (sorry Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto!), which were familiar to astrologers of previous centuries, and their meanings, resonance, and scope. He introduces us to the celestial spheres with intriguing short stories, that help personify these entities. Rowland also includes practical information that will help readers interpret charts. His magical spells are creative, but also indicate a deep love of history, which any reader with a taste for the mystery of long-ago will enjoy.”
“The Art Cosmic is both eloquently written and easy to understand. Rowland does an amazing job of presenting extremely complex astrological concepts in relatable terms. I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn the sacred art and powerful magick of traditional astrology.”
“The Art Cosmic is a uniquely heartfelt contribution to the field of western astrology. Both novice and master astrologers can benefit from the material, which explores everything from planetary rituals to the influence of archangels. This book’s common thread is magic. Because astrological disciplines are incorporated in virtually all paths of magical spirituality, it’s important to stay anchored in occult and metaphysical thought when exploring the infinite expanse of astrological influence. The cosmic mysteries are expressed here with wisdom, grace, intimate reverence, and awestruck humility toward the magic of ‘as above, so below.’”
“As a Modern Astrologer who has begun to integrate some traditional Astrology techniques into my work in my latest bestselling book, The Complete Guide to Astrology, and a Shamanic practitioner who loves to use ritual work to embody the energies, I found this book a marvelously comprehensive yet not overwhelming introduction to Traditional Astrology. I love the way it weaves the magical arts and ritual with Astrology, as I love to do in my own work. The very feel of the book is magical, from the fonts used to the imagery, and one of my favorite practitioners of magic wrote the forward! If you desire more than a dry Astrological text get this book and immerse yourself in the magic of the spheres.”
“In the past I’ve struggled to find books on planetary magic that have spoken to me—that are well researched yet approachable, and fun to read. That is until now. Levi Rowland’s debut book The Art Cosmic is extensive yet accessible for modern audiences and now a true favorite in my book collection. Richly dripping with esotericism, Rowland passionately takes readers on a journey through the cosmos—showcasing the infinite magic in our ever-expansive universe while reminding us that we are but one ingredient in the tapestry of its magic. Including rituals, first-hand knowledge, and charming wit, this book is the perfect guide for anyone looking to deepen their connection to planetary magic.”

I love the building blocks approach to traditional astrology that Levi offers whilst celebrating and encouraging the importance of intuitive interpretation for the budding astrologer to enhance their magical practice. Beautifully written passages read like poetry as you are guided down a forest path to align with ancient Moon lore, or through a tangled city maze to meet the essence of fiery Mars. The reader, Witch or non, is expertly guided in ritual practice by the author in this comprehensive offering, which, with its engaging wood cut inspired illustrations and charts, can hold pride of place in any beginner or adept’s magical library.”

If you ever wanted to learn the ins and outs of astrology I would absolutely read the wisdom in these pages.”
“The Art Cosmic: The Magic of Traditional Astrology by Levi Rowland is a delicious, captivating walk through Astrological arts in a wholly extraordinary manner. Rowland’s language is rich and poetic, where other Astrology books tend to be dry. Each page illustrates excellent historical research including quotes from brilliant thinkers and philosophers, and copious footnotes (thank you!). This tome explores the inspiration and guidance found in the stars-tiny bits of light inspiring language, arts, science, and society for eons. The Art Cosmic expresses the “as above, so below” axiom, showing how even in a modern world, the cosmic dance continues to play a role in daily life. Like the ancients, we can look to Astrology to discover anew the Angels, Guides, Ancestors, and the Gods. On a personal level Astrology offers an essential comprehension of our Higher Self, and a profound ken of the inner workings of our magical practices. It is a must read, but take it slow. Immerse yourself. Every page offers something worthy of your meditations.”

The Art Cosmic truly has something of great value for anyone drawn to the Art of astrology. Highly recommended.”
“The Art Cosmic was literally a transformative read. Levi’s book is remarkable in that it not only helps to demystify some of the aspects of traditional astrology, but envelopes the reader in an experience that is timeless with wisdom shared throughout the ages, meditations, rituals and done so in the fashion of a magical grimoire from a high priest of witchcraft, truly unique.
