Zodiac Mythologies: The Labours of Hercules
We read the twelve labours of Hercules with the twelve signs. The hero's journey, through the constellations in the sky, describes the progress of a world disciple.
Myths are full of deep wisdom and symbols from humanity's past. The twelve labours of Hercules are among the oldest and richest: on the surface a tale of courage and strength, in depth a map of the soul's journey through the twelve signs.
Our study is based on our Turkish translation of Alice A. Bailey's The Labours of Hercules. Each labour is studied with its sign; symbol, story and astrology are read together.
By the end of this study
- Know the twelve signs with their mythological and symbolic roots
- Read each labour as a lesson in discipleship
- See the place of the signs in the soul's journey

Questions
Does pre-registration commit me to anything?
No. Pre-registration is an interest list. When enough people have joined, we send you the date, time, format and contribution; final registration comes after that.
In which language are the courses taught?
Courses are currently taught in Turkish. If you would like to study in English, write to us; we may open an English-language group when there is enough interest.
Do you give certificates?
No. A student's level shows in their work, through heart and mind. We do not think external approval and accreditation suit the path of discipleship.
Which sources do we work with?
Our main source is the books of Alice A. Bailey. We give quotations with their sources and take care to keep the teaching separate from our own commentary.
