The Middle Ages (86) : Astrologer

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

An astrologer ‘studied’ celestial objects (sun, moon, stars) and was regarded as a mystical person but in reality he was just a charlatan.

Nowadays, astrology is recognized as a pseudo-intellectual pastime with no scientific justification.
In medieval times however, an astrologer could earn a lot of money by ‘predicting’ someone's personal future based on the position of celestial objects.

Photographed at medieval festival of castle Sterckshof (Deurne, Belgium)

Herrliche Farben, ein Motiv vom Feinsten, die Perspektive und die Schärfe des Fotos läßt nichts zu wünschen übrig.
