      I once had a bit idea for ML-Prims, who unlike AnPrims who want to go back to the stone age, the ML-Prims want to go back to the Bronze age where we have some agriculture and metalworking, but we elect a democratic-centrist committee that rules from a Ziggurat and during all their committee sessions they get high on haoma and instruct everyone in the city to ritually bathe.

    knowing a thing or two about the practice, yes absolutely

    reckoning the degree of a midheaven by hand; locating an ascensional degree, charting retrogrades, doing Math hard enough to start predicting eclipses, doing geometry

    those priests were the nerds of their era and you insult your ancestors to think of them as uneducated bumpkins. They were the goddamn dialectic until modernity and crapitalism arrives lol
