Hello,
I am a regular listener & I must ask; didn’t you Chris Brennan write a book over Astrology? I swear you did, that it was rather large & I was wanting to buy it. Infact I was trying to save up to buy it, since I don’t have the finances for the more expensive courses.
Please let me know if I was correct or not.
I swear it was around 700 pages or so & $25 dollars; or something. Even if I’m wrong please let me know.
Thank You
I did, it is called Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune, and you can find it on Amazon.
