I just got to thinking how the Western Mystery Tradition incorporates astrology and also many religions (rarely just one, less rarely none, but usually leans more Unitarian Universalism, though WMT typically explores the shadow side more than UUs and sometimes see mastery and incorporation/balance of the "evil" as well as the "good" in order to be complete which I never heard of a UU doing) so that is there for any who wish to discuss.

Do you know how they incorporate it, Randall?

I assume it's more than just part of the decor.

“Citizens, the nineteenth century is grand, but the twentieth century will be happy. Then there will be nothing more like old history. Men will no longer have to fear, as now, a conquest, an invasion, a usurpation, a rivalry of nations with the armed hand, an interruption of civilisation depending on a marriage of kings, a birth in the hereditary tyrannies, a partition of the peoples by a Congress, a dismemberment by the downfall of a dynasty, a combat of two religions meeting head to head, like two goats of darkness, upon the bridge of the infinite; they will no longer have to fear famine, speculation, prostitution from distress, misery from lack of work, and the scaffold, and the sword, and the battle, and all the brigandages of chance in the forest of events. We might almost say: there will be no events more. Men will be happy. The human race will fulfil its law as the terrestrial globe fulfils its; harmony will be re-established between the soul and the star; the soul will gravitate about the truth like the star about the light.”
