A quick list of some of the mansions (though not all)
Just as the Sun moves through the Zodiac, medieval astrologers of the Islamic world also noted the movement of the Moon through a zodiac of its own, known as manzil al qamar or the lunar mansions.
A thread on the astrology and magic of the moon
A quick list of some of the mansions (though not all)
Its talismans are made to cause harm and destruction
Its talismans are made to find buried treasure and to soften the anger of kings.
Its talisman is made to grant wishes and acquire wonders and goods.
Its talismans are made to cause strife and to kill poisonous animals
Its talismans are made for protection and for skill
Its talismans are made for love and friendship.
Its talismans are made to increase trade and wealth
I, and other scholars believe they originated in India with Vedic astrology’s nakshratas and made their way to the Middle East via Yemen and Southern Arabia.
Astrologers of the Islamic world would use the mansions of the moon to time major events, when to go to war, when to enter into diplomacy, and even advise rulers when to conceive children
Blending together natural and astral magic, the mage could invoke the powers of the moon for wonders
Like Buni, Ibn Arabi imagined the whole of the cosmos fashioned by sacred letters, utterances of God’s Divine Names which gave life to the universe.
Each mansion was associated with a letter. For example, the 7th Mansion Al Dhira was connected to the Throne and the letter Qaf.
The philosophical and mystical thought of Ibn Arabi has roots in older Islamic cosmology.
The lifespan of humans are decreed and then the tablets are taken by Mikai’l to the angel of death, Azrail.
The placement of the moon in a particular mansion would be interpreted as part of their character.
We can also see the complex interplay of early astronomy, philosophy, religious thought, and mysticism
