EP Podcast - Trash Astrology w/ Christopher Renstrom
Good Monday to all!!! 🌈 Energetic Principles Podcast - Episode 85 is now live for your listening pleasure on Soundcloud & iTunes !!!
Welcome to this week’s EP podcast on “Trash Astrology” - where special guest, Salt Lake City professional astrologer, author, lecturer, and historian Christopher Renstrom joins me in a discussion on the history of popular astrology and how the art of the stars was mainlined into the public and helped to influence our modern connection with an ancient practice. Listen in as Christopher defines what ‘trash astrology’ is while also highlighting some of the key players that brought this medium to the masses in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We also chat about his own journey with this project of historical storytelling, while engaging in thoughts around the current phase of astrological resurgence and the wild popularity of the internet astro meme. We had a delightful chat, and I hope you enjoy it as well!
Above are visuals to represent some of the key players and related materials that Christopher was mentioning in the podcast! What a lovely collection we have here, all provided by Mr. Renstrom himself and found on his years of researching this subject. Click on the gallery and you'll see such players as our snake oil astrologer Dr. C.W. Roback and first lady of horoscopes Genevieve Kemble, along with the Book of Knowledge and other fascinating imagery and articles.
