I gotta tell you — even though I thought I had seen every single possible kind of stupidity which falls within the signification of stupid, nothing, and I mean nothing prepared me for this.
The secretive Magi Society (which I have heard from a number of well-placed sources is really nothing more than the latest venture of Henry Weingarten, formerly of 666 Fifth Avenue in NYC) is trying to find common cause with the likes of Pat Robertson and James Dobson. Now referring to him themselves as The Christian Guardian’s Fellowship, they have announced that “Evolution is nothing but a hoax.” The site basically says that since the Magi visited the baby Jesus in the manger, and because the Magi were astrologers, astrology can prove that, according to the Bible, the universe was designed by an Intelligent Designer. Then (as any good salesperson will, they ask money question and immediately answer it):
At the Christian Guardians, we believe that astrology is much like most other things. Just as there is good and bad in almost everything else, there is bad astrology and there is good astrology.
You must be wondering what has any of this to do with Intelligent Design?
We talk about all this because we have discovered a way to disprove Darwinism by using good astrology, and we have improved Intelligent Design by using good astrology. The astrology we are using is the astrology of the Three Wise Men who foretold of the Bethlehem Star and successfully followed it to Christ’s birthplace. The Three Wise Men were MAGI and their special form of astrology is called Magi Astrology.
Magi Astrology is so different from any other form of astrology that 95% of Magi Astrology contradicts other forms of astrology. The beauty of Magi Astrology is that it disproves Darwinism and proves Intelligent Design. Magi Astrology helps to move Intelligent Design to the very high level needed so that Intelligent Design can make accurate predictions about genetics, the weather, and other areas that presently baffle scientists.
If you proceed on and read the material on this website and our other websites, we promise you what you read will improve your life, help you to believe in our Savior, and you will see the world in a much brighter light than ever before.
Isn’t that sweet? Of course, all this definitely comes from the goodness of their brotherly-loving Christian charity.
Of course none of this has anything do with the legal judgement levied against this same Henry Weingarten:
3.19.2002 A final judgment was entered against Henry Weingarten by a federal district court in New York, who had been charged with failing to disclosing certain conflicts of interest to clients. Mr. Weingarten, according to the SEC complaint, had purchased $75,000 worth of U.N. Dollars stock for his advisory client accounts. He failed to disclose in Part II of his Form ADV that he had been paid 250,000 shares of U.N. Dollars stock to promote the company’s securities on Mr. Weingarten’s Internet site and in his newsletters.
Mr. Weingarten was also censured by the SEC and ordered to provide prospective clients with a copy of the SEC order for a period of one year.

Well you are certainly well read, and you know your way around the internet (and the legal library for that matter). Thanks for the good research (I’m guessing some Scoroio planets).
Anyway, I have had some dealings with the Magi, and they are very infuriating to say the least. There are some real jems in thier world – but, as you point out, they are quite crazy. But the one thing that they do very well – better than Tarnas – is create impeccable tools for research.
Anyway, I’m not selling them by any means. Just thanking you for getting under the surface of this matter. IMHO groups and societies are mostly just a big power hungry cluster fcuk. If you know what I mean. I rarely like how they run themselves.

Henry Weingarten is Jewish and I have known him carnally in the ’70′s and later followed his tracks through the astrological community.
The idea that he is head of a Christian fundamentalist group like the Magi Society is laughable.
Truth is, George Wu, previous manager of a large mutual fund is behind the Magi Society. He is Chinese, not Jewish.
Your links provided no evidence that the Magi Society has any connection with Henry Weingarten. He certainly is not their head. In its publications, the society itself claims to have roots in 17th century China.
I can verify that LibraLove is correct when she says the Magi Society is run by George Wu who did manage a large mutual fund at one time but later founded a very successful hedge fund. I know this from first hand experience since we both live in New York and I just met him last night at a Christmas banquet he was hosting for his hedge fund clients at one of the best restaurants in this city. My date was one of Wu’s clients and everyone at the table seemed to know George Wu an astrologer (this shocked me since I never knew anyone used astrology for predicting stocks). I am pretty sure Wu is or at least was the head of the Magi Society in the US. I never heard of the Magi Society before and I am now doing research about it. That’s how I found this blog. Hope this helps get to the truth.
As I heard it, the Magi Society was made up of Shaolin monks (those are warrior monks, by the way) who left China after Mao came to power, for Hong Kong, and then left Hong Kong for Singapore, when the Chinese took over from the British. So far as I know, they’re still in Singapore.
(Most of Shaolin stayed behind in China & are still there. The Magi people are only a fragment.)
Best I can figure out, they’re getting on in years & want new blood, so they came to New York looking for members. They are not looking for Americans, but Chinese. Presumably from New York’s Chinese community. I had many reports of people trying to become members, all of whom were rejected. Regret I never had contacts with NY’s Chinese, so cannot say anything more in this direction. I thought NY’s Magi community folded c.2000.
I can confirm that Henry Weingarten is Jewish, as I worked for him for four years in the late 1980′s. So did Rob Hand, back in the 1970′s. When I knew him Henry was not a practicing Jew. Given what I know of him, I doubt he ever will be. He is your typical Leo, self-centered.
I can also confirm that Henry got into trouble with the government, as I have heard the story independently, and I was personally on the scene when he got into financial astrology, c.1988, as I reviewed many of the books he was trying to sell. To the best of my knowledge he has never been at 666 Fifth. Which is otherwise a legit address.
Very, very, very unlikely Henry would have anything to do with fundamentalist Christians (or fundamentalist Jews, for that matter). He’s far too smart for that, and, as a Leo, he would never settle for second place.
Overall this looks like a completely garbled story. Which, by the look of it, is true for most of the stories on this blog.
It is an honour to be accepted into the Magi Society.
And no, you do not have to be Chinese.
I’m a member and I am Australian.
Hahahahaha… Christina. It’s an honor if you wish to give up your 2nd Amendment rights and talk like a fundamentalist Christian.
The reason I made a comment on here, is because Dave seems to think that the Magi Society will only allow asians to become members and can’t understand why some people are not accepted.
I am a member and I’m not asian.
Libralove thinks it’s hilarious to feel honoured when you are accepted by a group of highly intelligent and honourable people and given an opportunity
to learn from them.
But you can all mouth off about the Magi as much as you want because the truth is, they aren’t going to read any of your comments and even if they did,
like me, they would probably express their very low level of interest by offering to give you 50cents to ring someone who cares.
Christina said she “feel honoured when you are accepted by a group of highly intelligent and honourable people and given an opportunity
to learn from them.” Who are you kidding? You work for them. They’re anything but honorable and intelligent. They’re a fundamentalist, Christian cult with an agenda to ostracize and condemn others who do not subscribe to their warped ideas and astrological viewpoints. It’s a totalitarian regime run by a Christian Chinese man who was born, living and graduated HS in Communist China, until he came here to work on Wall Street and get an online college diploma. My experience with him and TMS has been anything but good and honorable.
I think it’s contemptible that anyone who wishes to have their “research” taken seriously would actually make people pay money to see it. I did so, however, and in my opinion Wu’s ideas about astrology are crackbrained and his knowledge of research principles practically nonexistent. But some people with believe anything if it’s sufficiently mysterious.
That sounds like them, Spock. I wonder how that mysterious hedge fund is doing? I do not recommend their software either as it’s not yours even if you paid for it. You’re a member, and not a customer. Therefore, they can withdraw support, key codes to reinstall after a crash, and refuse to allow you to continue as a member if for any reason they do not like you or your religion or lack of it. They are fervently against agnostics and atheists. They are members of the ‘flat earth society’, in other words, ‘creationists. Avoid them.
