The Middle Ages (86) : Astrologer
This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.
An astrologer ‘studied’ celestial objects (sun, moon, stars) and was regarded as a mystical person but in reality he was just a charlatan.
Nowadays, astrology is recognized as a pseudo-intellectual pastime with no scientific justification.
In medieval times however, an astrologer could earn a lot of money by ‘predicting’ someone's personal future based on the position of celestial objects.
Photographed at medieval festival of castle Sterckshof (Deurne, Belgium)
