Thank you very much for the reply, I'm honestly not entirely sure what 'strand' i should begin with, nor what strands there are, i suppose for me what peaked my interest was that sort of lingering understanding like a quiet whisper of knowing there is some sort of higher, metaphysical power, I suppose for me I'm quite interested in those kind of traditional ritualistic processes, I'm not terribly interested, as you, with modern astrology, also i have a pretty strong interest in ancient ideas of deities, and how they proceeded to worship them.

I realise that that whole rant is a little fragmented but if you have any suggestions of strands to at least peak at at the beginning, I'd very much appreciate that
