Procession of the Night Theatre - J. M. Hamade

Procession of the Night Theatre follows the story logic of a Thousand and One Nights in contemporary fashion, with each night as a lunar station. Written as a mixture between fiction and poetry, it functions as a ‘night side’ exploration of the 28 lunar stations.

The second section of the book, An Exposition on the Lunar Stations, unites the Indian nakshatra, the Chinese xiu, the Arabic manzil, and more, in a comprehensive study of the lunar stations through their many significations, magics, and delineations. This section functions as a ‘day side’ exploration, combining years of research, source materials, and chart studies.

Procession is about the lunar zodiac in all its grandeur. Unlike the familiar 12 sign zodiac of the Sun, the 27-28 fold circle of the Moon still maintains her starry retinue in full. Though astrological correspondences are given their proper weight, including interpretations for the seven primary planets in each station, this book is at its core an exploration of teeming sidereal imagery.

Accordingly, Procession may be read as an ongoing story. Aimed at astrologers, magicians, and luna-philes alike, this is the most complete reference on the subject to date.
