On Thursday 6th May at The Orassy Kendron, Walter Cruttenden will discuss the widespread ancient belief that history moves in a vast cycle with alternating Dark and Golden Ages – something Plato called the Great Year. Just as the spinning earth produces the cycle of night and day, and the orbiting earth produces the seasons Walter will show that the precession observable is also the product of celestial motion, the sun’s orbit around another star, resulting in waxing and waning influences known to the Ancients. This presentation will include evidence of higher cultures in the distant past, an explanation and animation of precession and the reasons for its modern misinterpretation, and a look at the future based on the cycle of the Great Year. There will also be plenty of time to answer all your questions within the realms of this fascinating area.
