 Goddess
Flight Divination ~ Described as “your source for all divination
needs” this site provides a selection of reasonably priced astrological,
tarot, numerology and biorhythm readings for your perusal. Also on
offer are a number of freebies, including daily Sun sign forecasts
and some amusing games. |
|
| Gods,
Heroes and Myth ~ A friendly and accessible site for those attracted
to the study of classical mythology and legend. Featured are the deities
of ancient Greece and Rome, Egypt and Babylon, together with those indigenous
to North, Central and South America, Norse mythology, the Celts and Arthurian
legend too. |
|
| Google Translate ~ For webmasters not so long ago, reaching the largest audience you could meant several lengthy translations of your entire website. Huge swathes of the Web were beyond the average surfer, but that is not true anymore, with this fantastic service from Google bringing so many languages within the comprehension of everybody. |
|
| Hermitary ~ Resources and reflections on hermits and solitude is the subtitle and I couldn’t put it better myself. It’s a very informative and worthy site, but the funniest thing (if that’s the right word) is the hermit’s forum with a record so far of 169 users online at once. I guess in these days of the Internet even hermiting isn’t what it once was… |
|
| HM Nautical Almanac Office ~ Don’t be put off by the name, this agency catalogues astronomical data for a wide range of purposes. Be sure to check out the online data and miscellanea sections both with a UK focus, as well as the eclipse portal and the fascinating Websurf project, that enables the precise calculation of Islamic prayer times for instance… |
|
| Horoscope
Magazine ~ The web presence of the UK edition of Horoscope magazine,
another long running stalwart of the astrological community. As well
as details about the magazine’s contents for this month, you’ll find
free daily and monthly horoscopes for those surfing in, together with
free Chinese astrology on a monthly basis. |
|
| HumanDescent ~ Looking at the stars, it’s hard to imagine how the ancients saw the things they did. I mean Scorpio possibly, maybe Gemini, but the rest of them, I don’t think so. Naming the zodiac again I’d use some of the animals from here. To start I’d have the squeep, the dobbit, the dosp, the goatog, the dorse and the ugly pugling… |
|
| James
Randi ~ James Randi has built a reputation on debunking the paranormal.
He offers $1,000,000 to anyone who can convince him of such ability and this includes astrology too. Those anxious to prove themselves be
warned, so far nobody has even survived his unspecified test conditions.
There have been over 1,000 applicants… |

| Jenny
Smedley ~ Jenny was going nowhere, until she first saw a performance
by country singer Garth Brooks. She instantly recognised someone she
had known intimately in a past life and went on to describe the details
in enormous depth. She now writes, records and appears on TV herself.
It’s a remarkable story with a happy ending. |
|
| Laika, the Space Dog ~ Laika the dog was the first animal in orbit and also, the first orbital fatality. A stray from the streets of Moscow chosen for her hardiness and calm temperament, she was placed aboard Sputnik 2 on October 31, 1957 and blasted off three days later. She died hours into the mission, but never was intended to return home safely… |
|
| List of Common Emoticons ~ You’ve no doubt seen these in your email, :) or similar for happy, :( for sad, even more unusual combinations like :O for surprised, or :*) for blushing. To extend your vocabulary take a look at this feature, where you’ll find \(^o^)/ for very excited, (o_#) for bruised or (._.) meaning disappointed, among many creative examples. |
|
| Multimap ~
When constructing an astrological birthchart, it’s essential to know
the latitude and longitude of the birth location. This is the best online
reference I’ve found, with an international database. For the UK, you
can simply enter a postcode to access the exact geographic coordinates
for that place. It’s great for calculating charts… |
|
| Mystic Mildred ~ Part of the urban75 ezine, and worth visiting
anyway, Mystic Mildred inhabits their useless
games department, all carefully designed to help you throw time
away doing nothing productive at all. While probably I’m not supposed
to enjoy this so much, it did make me laugh, so do take a look, because
probably you will too… |
|
| Names of Days ~ Another recommendation from the Encyclopedia Mythica, this time an invaluable reference for those who struggle to remember which days were named after which gods and thus their astrological associations in turn. Personally, I have a hard time remembering which day it actually is, let alone which god it was named after… |
