Have you ever read any of Liz Greene’s work, have you ever attended her school or the FAS? Ah, no I didnt think so….but good on you to go slate and make snide remarks! Are there better schools than astro-america? You can bet your backside there are. Whata loser you are!

This morning (June 2, 2008), Jack at AFA told me Henry Weingarten went bust late last year. So I went to the net to see if I could confirm that.

Instead, I found your conflation of Weingarten with the Magi Society, of two years ago. I worked for W. for four years in the late ’80’s & had business dealings with him into the late ’90’s.

I’ve also taken the time to run down the Magi folks. They are a group of Shaolin monks who took refuge in Hong Kong after Mao’s victory. They then relocated to Singapore when China reclaimed the British colony in 1999. Their primary goal, over at their offices on 2nd Avenue (now closed), was to recruit Chinese-Americans in order to keep themselves viable. While I could be wrong, I agree with the earlier commentator, that it is unlikely there was ever a connection between them & Henry. Or them & American Christians, or anyone else, for that matter. They know nothing whatever about the Biblical magi.

Now you know how I got here.

So far as the Faculty of Astrological Studies are concerned, they have the known Ph.D. fraud, Liz Greene, hand out their diplomas every year. Imagine, if you will, a known fraud handing out diplomas to graduating students.

As Debbi Kempton-Smith pointed out, no other educational institution strips its graduates of their degrees based on subsequent misbehavior. A degree is given for work completed. Once given, it can only be revoked if qualifying work is found to be bogus. That’s the educational contract that every other institution honors.

But the FAS plays by different rules. Just how good is this school? Frankly I do not know. Someone emailed me their first year reading list, which I put on-line (pdf file). You can see it here: http://www.astroamerica.com/fac%20reading%20list.pdf

You will note it is larded with CPA Press titles. CPA Press is Liz Greene’s own publishing outfit.

All in all, there are better schools out there.

No one has ever mentioned that perhaps these women should have had their credentials withdrawn BECAUSE the Princess died. Surely, as “foremost” practitioners of their art they should have been able to discern a measure of risk attached to her vacation with Mr al Fayed? And, surely they would have established their credibility with the client in the past by getting it right on occasion, to the extent that she would have heeded their warnings?

I am sorry, but these two astrologers failed their client and the profession in many more instances than simply a lack of confidentiality.
