Bill Grant is a partner and creative director at As Told By, a production company out of Columbia, South Carolina. After 20+ years in the industry—starting in weddings and grinding through social media retainers—he landed on something that actually works: long-form storytelling for nonprofits, built around a framework that helps clients use their videos and actually raise money with them. He also shares how he transitioned from a full W-2 team to a lean contractor model, and how his studio is quietly becoming a podcast production hub. Key Takeaways The "Blueprint Framework" — Bill's system for making sure nonprofit clients get real ROI from their videos: get it in all the foundational places (YouTube, LinkedIn, website, email signature), show it in person as often as possible, and actually analyze the results Retainer-heavy social media work can feel productive but often burns clients out — long-form, emotionally-driven storytelling tends to create far more lasting impact and return business Transitioning from W-2 employees to contractors gave Bill more flexibility and surprisingly better working relationships with his former employees Podcast studio rentals starting at $350–$500 per session can at minimum cover your rent — and at best, become a serious revenue center if you add production services on top. About Bill Grant Bill Grant, Partner and Creative Director for As Told By, is passionate about helping nonprofits tell their story through effective marketing and video production. For roughly 19 years, Bill has led the way in helping the philanthropy efforts of organizations throughout South Carolina by highlighting the impact they have on real people of the Midlands. Bill is talented in uncovering the stories that make a connection and weaving them into video content to create an emotional attachment to the mission of every organization that he works with at As Told By. He is always thinking outside of the box for ways to inspire action. He also operates As Told By Studio in Columbia producing podcasts for clients as well as the As Told By You Podcast.

They can't be OK with it. It can't be satisfactory. They've got to love it." — Bill Grant "Even if they know how to do it, they don't always do it. So to have that nudge—just caring for them—makes sure they get out of it what they want." — Bill Grant "My relationship with ex-employees is so much better than it was when they were employees." — Bill Grant "The overthinking is what pauses you. This idea right here is worth $2,500 at minimum—just take these words and say them to a client." — Ryan Koral Guest Links Follow Bill Grant on Instagram | Facebook  Check out As Told By You Podcast Links Find out more about the Studio Sherpas Mastermind Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Join the Studio Sherpas newsletter

When a respectable Victorian doctor became Britain's most feared poisonerVictorian England believed murder belonged to the gutters. Then Dr William Palmer shattered that illusion.In this gripping episode of History Rage, award-winning journalist and author Stephen Bates exposes the dark truth behind the case of William Palmer — the Midlands doctor hanged in 1856 for poisoning his friend John Parsons Cook.Known as the “Rugeley Poisoner”, Palmer was a churchgoing professional, a gambler drowning in debt, and a man suspected of killing far more than the one murder for which he was convicted. His weapon? Newly available strychnine — a terrifying poison that left victims writhing in agony and Victorian society gripped by fear.What You'll Discover in This EpisodeWhy Victorian Britain refused to believe a middle-class doctor could be a killerHow strychnine changed the landscape of 19th-century murderThe explosive Old Bailey trial that required a special Act of ParliamentThe role of celebrity pathologist Alfred Swaine TaylorHow press sensationalism helped create one of Britain's first “serial killer” panicsThe disturbing class bias in Victorian (and modern) murder trialsStephen also explores parallels with later cases, including Herbert Rouse Armstrong, the subject of his book The Poisonous Solicitor, and reflects on how professional status has long influenced public perceptions of guilt.This is Victorian true crime at its most unsettling: insurance fraud, gambling debts, missing betting slips, botched inquests, and a public execution witnessed by 30,000 people.About Our Guest – Stephen BatesStephen Bates is an award-winning journalist and former political correspondent.

Midnight, On Earth
Episode 292 - Astrological History & The Original Zodiac w/ Graham Phillips

In this episode of Midnight, On Earth, I sit down with bestselling British author and historical investigator Graham Phillips to explore his latest book, 'The Original Zodiac: What Ancient Astrology Reveals About You'. Our conversation dives deep into a forgotten chapter of astrological history - The discovery of the earliest known zodiac system, which contained eighteen signs rather than the twelve most people are familiar with today.Phillips explains how the roots of astrology stretch back to ancient Mesopotamia, emerging from the same mysterious cultural horizon that produced monumental sites like Göbekli Tepe. In those early systems, astrology appears to have functioned through generations of observation, almost like a form of reverse engineering. Instead of starting with a rigid symbolic framework, early astrologers observed patterns in human behavior, personality traits, and life outcomes, then connected those traits back to the time, place, and conditions of a person's birth. Over centuries, these observations became encoded into symbolic archetypes that eventually formed the earliest zodiac signs.At the center of Phillips' research is a mysterious clay tablet held in the British Museum, cataloged as BM 86378. The artifact lists an ancient zodiac system composed of eighteen constellations, many of which are completely absent from the modern Western and Vedic zodiacs. Instead of only the familiar signs, this earlier sky map included figures such as the Serpent, Swan, Crane, Horse, Wolf, and Eagle—symbols that suggest a very different way of interpreting cosmic influence and human identity.Because the tablet preserved the names of the constellations but not their meanings, Phillips attempted to reconstruct the psychological and behavioral traits associated with each sign. Through an extensive survey of hundreds of volunteers from different backgrounds, he analyzed patterns in personality, interests, occupations, habits, and even health tendencies. From this data, he began to piece together what the original zodiac may have signified thousands of years ago.During our conversation we explore how this eighteen-sign system offers an expanded lens through which to view astrology - not as a replacement for the familiar twelve-sign zodiac, but as a deeper layer of symbolic understanding. Phillips explains how the ancient framework may enrich our interpretation of personality, relationships, and destiny by adding additional archetypes that were gradually lost as astrology evolved through later Greek, and Vedic traditions.We also discuss the broader historical mystery surrounding the origins of astrology itself, the possibility that these systems emerged from extremely ancient sky-watching cultures, and how early civilizations attempted to map human experience onto the movements of the heavens. Along the way we touch on archaeology, myth, ancient symbolism, and the enduring human quest to understand who we are and how the cosmos might shape our lives.It's a wide-ranging exploration of forgotten astrology, ancient civilizations, and the archetypal patterns that have guided human thinking about the stars for thousands of years.

Alors que John Lennon a quitté Londres pour New York après avoir retrouvé le sommet des classements et que George Harrison est devenu l'improbable N°1 des ex-Beatles toutes catégories de classement, Paul McCartney écume les cercles étudiants des Midlands au sud de l'Angleterre en passant par le Pays de Galles. L'aventure s'est d'ailleurs terminée à Oxford avec le ras-le-bol des musiciens qu'il a recrutés. C‘est vrai, les gars croyaient avoir une vie de palaces, avions et restos 3 étoiles en tournant avec un ex-Beatles, ils n'ont que le droit de s'entasser dans un mini van et partager la recette de concerts improvisés.Alors la suite, c'est-à-dire le continent européen, doit être un peu mieux organisée. Déjà, le bus de la tournée est un vieux double deck britannique repeint aux couleurs des Wings. Ça le fait pour la promo, en arrivant en ville, personne ne peut les louper, et sur la route, on peut profiter du ciel ouvert aménagé pour admirer le paysage pleinement et bronzer avec les enfants.Alors bien sûr, c'est pas top quand on doit annuler, faute de réservations. Oui, ça arrive, comme à Lyon. Les jeunes Français ont la tête ailleurs avec Led Zeppelin et Pink Floyd, la musique a vraiment changé, hein. Mais à l'Olympia, c'est le frisson, huit ans après la fameuse série avec les Beatles. Et que dire de ce vieux cinéma d'Anvers, juste après, le tout premier concert d'un Beatles en Belgique, car ils n'y ont jamais joué ! Vous y étiez peut-être, l'atmosphère est magique, et surtout, la surprise de pouvoir le regarder d'aussi près est totale. Mais bon ! Où est-il, le génie qui nous a donné Sgt Pepper, qui a entraîné tout le mouvement psychédélique, cassé les codes de la chanson, amené la musique baroque dans le rock ? La comparaison que font les journalistes, alors tout puissants sur les ventes de disques, n'est pas à l'avantage de la musique que propose McCartney. Lui, repart de zéro volontairement, à tous les niveaux, eux exigent la suite, un toujours plus haut, toujours plus fort.Et c'est là qu'intervient à nouveau George Martin, l'ancien producteur des Beatles, l'homme qui a composé leurs fabuleux arrangements orchestraux car il lui a été justement proposé de composer la BO du nouveau James Bond. Pourquoi ne demandez-vous pas à Paul McCartney de composer la chanson, dit-il au producteur Harry Saltzman ? OK, mais juste écrire alors, les génériques de James Bond, ce sont des interprètes soul. Après avoir lu le roman, McCartney, très inspiré, écrit le titre d'un trait au piano mais exige que son groupe en soit l'interprète.Quand Saltzman s'apprête à dire non, il resonge à ce moment où dix ans plus tôt, il a refusé de produire le film des Beatles A Hard days Night, n'y croyant pas un instant, et laissant la société de Charlie Chaplin, la United Artists, réaliser une excellente affaire. Alors il se ravise, dit oui, ouvrant, sans le savoir, un boulevard au retour de Paul McCartney sur le devant de la scène mondiale …

https://www.stevetilston.com/representation | Different Strings Music Agencylorraine@differentstrings.co.uk Steve Tilston is one of our most celebrated song smiths, widely recognised within the world of folk and contemporary music; the words, arrangements and subtle, quite superb guitar playing could be no one else. And now to Steve Tilston's last album, Last Call officially released on Talking Elephant Records March 2025, over half a century on from his first and on a par with his finest. With the accompaniment of good friends and long-time musical collaborators, Steve looks both back and ahead as he travels the musical spectrum, across blues, traditional folk, poetry and even a hint of jazz. From social and political comment to rustic reflection, from autobiography to eternal geographical history; it's a thing of audible joy and circumstantial sadness.“The more you listen, the more there is to discover.” Bob HarrisThe story of Steve's “lost” letter from John Lennon thrust Steve into the worldwide media spotlight and was the inspiration for a Hollywood movie. Danny Collins, starring Al Pacino in the title role is now available to own on DVD. Sadly, Steve's songs didn't actually appear on the soundtrack, but the publicity surrounding the film, brought Steve and his music to much wider attention. You can still watch the clip of when Steve met Al on YouTube.Steve was also voted, Fatea Awards Male Vocalist of the Year 2015 and Truth to Tell was chosen as one of The Telegraph's top folk albums that year too.Born in Liverpool and raised in the Midlands, Steve made his recording debut in 1971 with the classic An Acoustic Confusion and has been turning out quality albums ever since. Life by Misadventure, And So It Goes, Solo Rubato and Such and Such all featuring first-class song-writing and stylistically Tilston, marking him out as one of this country's finest writers. Whilst the instrumental Swans at Coole is testament to his guitar virtuosity. Though known as a songwriter, Steve has always had an ear for the tradition and included new interpretations of old favourites on his original recordings. Of Many Hands is his first “all-traditional” album; with unique arrangements of timeless classics. There's also a “best of” anthology, The Greening Wind and a live album Live Hemistry recorded on tour with Fairport Convention.He joined an illustrious band of guitarists including Martin Simpson, Michael Messer and Wizz Jones, when he was invited to contribute to the Guitar Maestro series of DVDs; a combination of live studio performance and interviews, revealing the real passion behind these talented musicians… If anyone ever deserved the moniker “Guitar Maestro”, it's Steve Tilston!The writer of such classic songs as The Slipjigs and Reels and the award-winning The Reckoning, is also a published author. Steve's first novel All for Poor Jack is an historical tale set in Bristol and the New World, full of colourful characters. It's a mighty good read and has been enjoyed by the likes of Bob Dylan no less!He's toured with John Renbourn's Ship of Fools, traditional singer Maggie Boyle (the classic recordings Of Moor and Mesa and All Under the Sun), as guitarist with Ballet Rambert, with Maartin Allcock & Pete Zorn in WAZ! with Brooks Williams and with his daughter Martha. Plus collaborations with alt-country band The Durbervilles and old Bristol pals Keith Warmington and the late Stuart Gordon as the Steve Tilston Trio. His most recent project is Tilston & Lowe a duo with fellow songwriter Jez Lowe, producing The Janus Game a CD of brand-new co-writes.Others have also recorded Steve's songs.

In this Film Ireland Podcast, contributor Will Penn chats with Irish-American harpist Joy Shannon, who's preparing to shoot a documentary in Ireland. Her new album In The Forest Singing Sorrowless, released in late November, is inspired by the poetry of J. R. R. Tolkien and features a special collaboration with his great-granddaughter. Unfortunately there are some technical issues with this section that have impacted the audio. Then at 28:56, contributor Dolapo Agunbiade sits down with writer-director Adam Mura to discuss his indie series Midlands Mayhem. From the origins of the concept to the realities of independent production, they delve into the making of the show and look at what audiences can expect.Listen now on SoundCloud, Apple, Spotify, Acast and Amazon, or subscribe to Film Ireland wherever you get your podcasts.https://www.filmireland.net/podcast-midlands-mayhem-writer-director-adam-mura-harpist-joy-shannonMidlands MayhemJared Ennis is a disaffected young man working in a scrapyard in the midlands of Ireland. In years prior, Ennis was a hard-partier among a group of young people in the town who frequently drink, do drugs and engage in petty crime, branding themselves The Sesh Council. Ennis is contacted by Council member and former friend Tristan ‘Canner' Corcoran, who reveals their acquaintance, Fearghal, has been murdered. The two meet with Jessica ‘Seshica' Hegarty, the Grand Elder and leader of the Sesh Council, who tries to bring Ennis back into the fold to investigate the murder. A local young man and former classmate of Ennis, Mad Jack Wensleydale, takes credit for Fearghal's murder, vowing to rid the midlands of the crime and violence that the Council brings. It's made clear to the Council that he's not working alone. The two main creative minds behind the project were Adam Mura and Shane O'Baoill, who met studying film at college. They produced the series together with Adam in the director's chair and Shane serving as the Director of Photography. Adam went to school in the Midlands and most of his friends were from the area. This included two of the main characters portrayed by William Ennis and Tristan Canning.Joy ShannonJoy is an Irish harpist and singer whose ethereal and haunting songs come from depths of Irish folklore. Her melodies evoke images of witch's lairs in dark woods or the distant echoes of the voices of spirits in the ancient places of the Irish countryside.Joy Shannon's newest album release In the Forest Singing Sorrowless is inspired by author J.R.R. Tolkien's poetry, with Shannon's original music accompanying Tolkien's wonderful words. Shannon decided to create this album during a personally challenging year, when she went through medical treatments for breast cancer. Tolkien's works have always been an inspiration for Shannon, especially to have hope and purpose at the darkest times, so the recording of this album carried her through a difficult time. The resulting album is a mystical dream-walk through Tolkien's landscapes, through the magical lens of Shannon's intimate harp and vocals.Last year, Shannon released an album called An Chailleach, or Irish for the crone or elder goddess. For this album, Shannon delved into the lore of the dark wintertime goddess of Ireland, with stark and stunning compositions. Shannon's fascination with ancient lore, led her to this year's album, as Tolkien's works are similarly inspired by ancient mythologies. Through her signature dark folk, full of longing and a mystical air, her music pairs perfectly with the words of Tolkien.The record, which has been met with critical praise, was composed while Shannon was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Shannon is set to head to Ireland in 2026 to shoot a new documentary titled The Cailleach, based on her own life experiences. Check out her website here: www.joyshannon.com.Over the years, the podcast has featured acclaimed guests such as Phyllida Lloyd, Lenny Abrahamson, M.

Charter Medical Private Hospital (CMPH) Mullingar is pleased to announce on behalf of Alliance Medical the launch of its new state-of-the-art CT scanning service in partnership with Alliance Medical, one of Ireland's leading independent diagnostic providers. The enhanced service, delivered on-site in Mullingar, will provide significantly expanded diagnostic capacity for patients across the Midlands. The investment by Alliance Medical in the delivery of the new CT scanning service further enhances CMPH's role as a key regional healthcare provider, supporting faster diagnosis, earlier intervention, and improved outcomes for both public and private patients. It also serves to strengthen the long-term partnership between CMPG and Alliance Medical and is a clear demonstration of support by Alliance Medical in the development of the hospital's infrastructure, along with the ambitious expansion plans of CMPH. The CT service is fully operational and accepting referrals from GPs, consultants and allied health professionals. It provides access to a comprehensive suite of high-quality imaging services. CMPH patients can now access Neuro CT, Orthopaedic & Musculoskeletal, Vascular CT, CT Angiography, and Oncology CT. Cardiac CT will be added shortly, strengthening CMPH's ability to support rapid diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions. All imaging is carried out on-site by Alliance Medical's specialist radiography team, with reporting completed by RCSI-accredited consultant radiologists, ensuring clinical accuracy and rapid turnaround times. The collaboration with Alliance Medical ensures CMPH can provide a best-in-class diagnostic experience while maintaining seamless integration with its surgical, outpatient and public healthcare services. Peter Burke TD, Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment, said: "This investment by Alliance Medical into Charter Medical Private Hospital, Mullingar, is extremely positive for local and regional healthcare. Faster access to diagnostics has a profound impact on patient outcomes, and the expansion of the service here in Mullingar will ease pressure on the wider system. It is encouraging to see continued investment in high-quality services and clinical capacity here in Westmeath. I wish both CMPH and Alliance Medical every success with this important initiative. " Paula Gray, Chief Executive Officer, Charter Medical Private Hospital Mullingar, said: "This development represents a major step forward for patient care in the Midlands. Quick access to accurate diagnostics is critical for early detection, effective treatment and peace of mind. By working closely with Alliance Medical, we can now offer patients the highest standard of imaging locally, without long waiting times or the need to travel. This is an important investment in the health of our community and the future of our hospital." Stephen Sullivan, Alliance Medical Unit Manager, Mullingar: "We have seen a great uptake in referrals in the first few months of the service, and we are very excited to see this grow over the course of the year. To be able to offer patients access to high-quality CT scans without the need to travel long distances is a great benefit for the local area." Charter Medical Private Hospital is a 77-bed acute hospital delivering a broad range of clinical, surgical and diagnostic services to patients across the Midlands. It is part of a wider healthcare network employing over 300 professionals across Dublin and Westmeath. CMPH plays a significant role in supporting the HSE through the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) and Access to Care (ATC) programmes, delivering thousands of procedures in ENT, Ophthalmology, Urology, Dermatology, and General Surgery and minor procedures The hospital is also home to the only public Minor Injuries Unit in the Midlands, treating approximately 10,000 patients per year.

It's four years today since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. It's obviously been devastating for the population; and while front line fighters and high pressure politics make the headlines, its the country's farmers who have the massive responsibility of keeping the people of Ukraine fed. The war has led to soaring prices of fuel and fertiliser - but more than that, labour shortages and continual power cuts have put massive pressure on what was an efficient and profitable industry. We hear from Kees Huizinga, a Dutch farmer who moved to Ukraine to run a large mixed farm, just before the invasion took place. He estimates that 20 percent of farm land has been lost to the war. We also hear from the BBC's former Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse who's seen the devastation for himself.Several farmers in the Midlands have been giving up pieces of their land to create wetland habitats for wintering birds. Work is being carried out to make scrapes and channels on fields so they'll attract species like the snipe and the lapwing. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner

Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien has announced significant new funding of almost €35 million to further support local authorities as they continue to drive forward climate action in our communities. This funding underpins the continued commitment of Government to local climate action and recognises the key role of local authorities in supporting communities as we transition to a climate neutral economy. €35 million for climate action in communities €30 million START Scheme to support local climate action As part of the European Union's Just Transition Fund (EU JTF) programme, which is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the EU, €30 million is being provided to local authorities in the Midlands EU Just Transition Territory to support their local climate action. The new scheme, Supporting a Sustainable Transition through Climate Action for a Resilient Territory (START) will support Local Authority-led Climate Action Plan infrastructure projects and feasibility studies that align with the EU JTF programme. The types of projects that local authorities can submit for consideration under this closed call include but are not limited to: Renewable energy solutions, enhancing community engagement, promoting sustainability; Enhancing energy efficiency of public and community buildings; Active travel and sustainable transport; Transforming former landfill sites into tourism/recreational spaces, developing community/heritage spaces, enhancing public amenities. Additional €4.9 million for Local Authority Climate Action: A further €4.9 million is also being made to support Local Authority climate action across Ireland. This will break down as follows: The three Irish cities in the EU Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission – Cork, Dublin and Galway – will be able to access funding of €2 million next year. This will help the cities to deliver projects which move them to becoming climate neutral by 2030. A new fund of €1.5 million will be set up to assist local authorities with their Decarbonising Zones (DZs). DZs are spatial areas which have been selected by local authorities as the focus for climate mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity projects. There is a new €2.5 million European Regional Development Fund scheme for local authorities in the northern and western region. It offers funding for local projects in Decarbonising Zones on adaptation or the protection of biodiversity and green infrastructure. The Department is committing €1 million in funding. Climate Action Regional Offices (CAROs) will receive €2.4 million in 2026 – an increase of €400,000. The offices support local authorities to deliver climate action, helping them develop local climate plans and sharing best practice across the regions. These announcements follow a funding commitment at the end of 2025 of €26.9m to fund community climate action projects and a Community Climate Action Officer in each Local Authority to 2027. Commenting on the funding, Minister O'Brien said: "Our local authorities are the leaders in making sustainability at a community level a reality. Through the Community Climate Action Programme, hundreds of projects across communities have been and will be funded with the support of over €50 million from the Climate Action Fund from 2023 to 2027. I'm delighted now to announce, in addition, the launch of a new €30 million Just Transition scheme investing further in the Midlands, and to increased climate funding for local authorities in 2026 of almost €5 million. This funding demonstrates our commitment to local authorities and communities, supporting them to deliver the meaningful, place-based climate action required for their specific needs." Commenting on the launch of the START scheme, Clare Bannon, A/Director for Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly, said: "EMRA is looking forward to launching the START scheme which marks a transformative moment for the wider Midlands region.

William McGrath is CEO of C suite pension strategies. He has a financial and industrial sector background and was a longtime CEO of AGA range master. He has an honorary doctorate from Birmingham City University for work to sustain the relevance of the Midlands industrial heritage. He returned to the financial sector after 25 years working in industry.In our discussion we trace William's own career path and the source of his interest in pensions and the financial sector more generally. Moving then to his current perspective on pension funds at  C Suite Pension Strategies, he discusses the importance of corporate pensions, emphasizing that they should be seen as a corporate wealth fund rather than a burden. He highlights that there is still £1.2 trillion in private sector investments in the UK, advocating for a "run on" strategy over "buyout." William criticizes the lack of scrutiny in actuarial work and calls for better regulation and oversight of some of the workings of this sector. Overall he emphasizes the importance of a "members first" approach which puts member interests at the center of pension fund governance.   We move then to broader governance issues and we talk in some detail about his experience in leadership at Aga and getting back to his love of history and the industrial heartland refers us to “Aga, Allied and Ogilvy – The Management of Groups”, which contains remarkable Boardroom records of a group of allied iron founders seeking to integrate businesses between the 1930s and 1950s – https://homehearthistory.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/aga-allied-ogilvy-book.pdfThis podcast is kindly sponsored by Evanston Capital and Alvine Capital.

When the Football League started in 1888 there were six clubs from the Midlands and six from Lancashire.  Now look at the Premier League.  Of the current 20 clubs, nine come from the effete South of England, in other words almost half.  Jon Holmes, Colin Shindler and Jim White discuss whether this is a North-South divide or a London-versus-the-rest-of-the-country divide.  We know to what extent football is ruled by money and we know that the North-South divide is a slightly euphemistic way of describing the disadvantaged North versus the over privileged South.  So much is self-evident.  But is this increasing concentration of wealth in the southern half of the country a good thing or a bad thing for football?”  Listen to the podcast and let us know what you think (and where you live!)

Discover the world's earliest known system of astrology• Explores ancient Mesopotamian astrology, which originated with those who created Göbekli Tepe, and details the system's eighteen zodiac signs• Shares the author's decades-long research to decipher the meanings and characteristics behind each of the original eighteen signs• Shows how the original zodiac can enrich and expand our understanding of astrology, personal relationships, and our sense of self and destinyToday the zodiac is divided into twelve signs through which the sun appears to travel in a year. A person's sign can influence their personality, physical characteristics, and fate. However, in ancient Mesopotamia, the first zodiac was divided into eighteen signs—different from the Western and Vedic systems in use today. The Original Zodiac reveals, for the first time in more than 4,000 years, this earliest known system of astrology.The original Mesopotamian zodiac offered very different birth signs, including the Serpent, Swan, Crane, Horse, Wolf, and Eagle. This zodiac was recorded on a clay tablet that is now housed in the British Museum, cataloged as BM 86378, but there is no written record of how these signs were interpreted. Now, after decades of intensive research, Graham Phillips reveals the meanings of these mysterious signs and their relevance for our times.To determine what traits might be shared by those born in each sign of the original zodiac, Phillips comprehensively surveyed hundreds of volunteers from diverse backgrounds. He measured each participant's likes, dislikes, hobbies, habits, employment, health information, and other pertinent aspects of their lives and identities. Not intended to replace or challenge our traditional understanding of astrology, his findings offer an original system to enrich our current knowledge of the personality, character, and destiny of those born in each of its enigmatic signs.Graham Phillips is one of Britain's bestselling nonfiction authors. A former radio journalist and broadcaster for the BBC, and founder of Strange Phenomena magazine, he is a historical investigator of unsolved mysteries. The author of many books, including The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant, The Lost Tomb of King Arthur, The End of Eden, and Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt, he lives in the Midlands of England.https://www.grahamphillips.net/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
