Elsbeth Ebertin’s first astrology book, Königliche Nativitäten, throttled her into the national spotlight three years after its publication when her prediction of the manner and timing of Tzar Nicholas II’s death came true. Published in 1915, Royal Nativities gathers together the out-of-print pamphlets on mundane astrology that Elsbeth had been producing during the Great War. She created primers on mundane techniques and chapters on each of the figureheads of the European countries involved in the conflict.

Revelore is proud to produce the first-ever English translation of this classic work of mundane astrology.

Her work appears in Sky and Symbol (Sophia Centre Press, 2013), and Table Talk (Counterpoint, 2014); her translation work includes Zoroaster’s Telescope (Ouroboros Press, 2013), selected alchemical writings of Paracelsus, in Occlith 1 (Viatorium Press, 2016), and Can Assassinations Be Prevented (Revelore, 2017).
