Reviews

Jyotish: The Art of Vedic Astrology by Andrew Mason is a refreshing new look at an ancient system of astrology. Written with humility, humor and hints of deep insight, this book is a welcome change from other books on Jyotish. The personal stories and experiences in the book help to bring an often-obscure system of astrology into modern times. The section on medical astrology and astrological remedies is especially appreciated, and will certainly help a number of readers. -- Vaidya Atreya Smith, Director, European Institute of Vedic Studies, Author of Ayurvedic Nutriation, Ayurveda for Women

Author Information

Andrew Mason is an expert in Eastern Alchemy. He started studying holistic medicine 20 years ago, completing his training as an Ayurveda practitioner in 2006. He then undertook a unique and intensive apprenticeship in the east, learning the closely guarded processes involved in the manufacturing of these ancient remedies. Since his return to the UK, Andrew has undertaken the task of recording and cataloguing these traditional processes, preserving these techniques which in some cases would have remained as tenuous oral traditions only. He is the author of Rasa Shastra, also published by Singing Dragon.
