Mysticism is the fruit of ignorance. It can be whimsical through to dangerous. But it can also be very humane.
There is an interesting thing here for those of us not locked into the mystical aspect - the common threads that link culture and history from today all the way to many thousands of years BC. As a student of History, I look for these threads and constantly find ideas that we see as uniquely ours today being espoused by the Ancient Egyptians and the Phoenicians. And we think that we have absolutely no direct common cultural links with these extinct cultures! Yet these links are the roots of our own culture today! The language may have changed, and some of the ideas evolved, but the blood is the one and the same.
I don't have time for ditsy Astrology. But to see where we come from, it is a very useful tool.
Just a little thought to add to the discussion,
