The Sacred Wisdom of the Planets presents beautiful astrological

illustrations created by award winning Dutch artist Pieter Weltevrede.

His powerful images are a reflection of the wisdom of ancient Indian

sages as taught to him over decades by the late temple artist and

Tantric scholar Harish Johari. Pieter’s vibrant art can be used as a

meditative path that leads to an understanding the planets on a level

that extends beyond words.

Kooch Daniels, the author, also studied with Johari, who thoughtfully

explained the meaning of the planets in relation to the gods venerated

in the Vedic tradition. His enlightening talks on the energies of the

celestial spheres inspired her to write the text to accompany Pieter’s

art that depicts the seven planets known in ancient times and two

nodes of the moon. Her perspectives, gathered from a lifetime of

mystical studies, are a blend of traditions relating to both Vedic and

Western times.

The combined perspectives of the artist and the author show the

zodiac’s activating powers that influence and underlie the astral

blueprint of existence. When looked at symbolically, these planets can

become bridges to finding a sacred path to our divine inheritance.

When looked at on mythic levels they become a means to uncover

insights lost beneath logic. Learning about the energies associated

with the planets allows you to dive into the known and unknown

recesses of the psyche and better understand human dynamics.

This book outlines the most important elements connected with the

planets. It includes an essential keyword start guide to help you

quickly build your planetary vocabulary. Also, it provides thought

provoking questions that are beneficial in guiding you to reflect on

your own personal relationship with the planets. The vibrant art

combined with mystical and worldly interpretations create a timeless,

unique resource to help expand your understanding of the zodiac.
