Classical Studies in Gaming

25 December 2015 by Lee

The purpose of this Course is to teach not only the concepts of contest or warfare astrology, but to teach the research methods you will need to know in order to optimize your own model. Students will be provided with the Super Bowl data in the Microsoft Access database as a starting point.

Prerequisites: Horary 102 and Electional (201), or knowledge of classical method in horary and electional. An acceptable alternative would be the Diploma from the School of Traditional Astrology.

By the final session, the student should be able to make predictions of game outcomes at a rate at or exceeding 2/3 accuracy. To pass the Course, the work submitted must demonstrate a consistently high quality. Lessons may be submitted in either English or French, and may be submitted by e-mail.

But the real value of this Course is not the lessons, but the opportunity to learn from your own gaming examples. These become the subject for a mentoring environment where personal feedback accelerates your learning. This Course gives you the opportunity to work with Lee, not simply read Lee’s books and Course materials.
