Planetary Hours

Manuale Temporis Caelestis

Horae Planetariae — Manuale Operativum

Horae planetariae non sunt ludus horologii. Sunt disciplina temporis: divisio ritualis diei et noctis in duodecim horas temporales, secundum ordinem planetarium fixum. Hic tractantur ut quod vere sunt — fundamentum practicum ad electiones et opera operativa, caelo innixum.
