Summary "The Influence of the Stars: A Book of Old World Lore" by Rosa Baughan is a collection of esoteric writings exploring astrology, chiromancy, and physiognomy, likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into ancient beliefs surrounding the influence of celestial bodies on human fate, personality, and health, providing insights into how these theories were understood in a historical context. With its thorough examination of astrology, Baughan aims to rekindle interest in these mystical practices that once captivated societies. The opening of the book begins with a foreword that highlights the ancient roots of astrology and its significance throughout history. Baughan discusses the revival of interest in old-world beliefs and sets the stage for the core topics, which include the nature and influence of celestial bodies, chiromancy (palmistry), and physiognomy (the assessment of character through facial features). The introduction outlines how these practices interlink with astrology, indicating a comprehensive mixed-method approach. It emphasizes the necessity of understanding these components to fully grasp their implications on human lives, suggesting a deep and intricate exploration of destiny as influenced by the cosmos.
