Petrus Talemarianus

A masterpiece on the Golden Rule according to principles of Tantrism, Taoism, Kabala, and Pythagoreanism serving to fulfill the Laws of Universal Harmony and aiding accomplishment of the Great Work. It develops a system of correspondences in symbolic, geometric, mathematical and astronomical systems of architecture of the ancient world.

Gann Metaphysical

In the 1940’s Gann published a Recommended Reading list of about 90 books, each containing an essential part his system, which he sold to his students. n the 1980’s Dr. Baumring compiled about 70 of these titles, and we have collected the remainder, providing the only complete set available. We strongly recommend these works to all Gann students.

Magick

Magick in the Western Esoteric tradition represents a Western equivalent to the internal training systems that are found in Eastern traditions, but is focused on the development of human powers and abilities. These include mastery of physical, emotional and mental bodies, control over the elements and development of psychic perception and influence.

Codes and Ciphers

We have books on symbolic codes and ciphers from various esoteric traditions, including Masonic codes. Gann used codes in "Tunnel Through the Air", and encrypted his personal notes using a code called "Bell, Book and Candle". Gann enthusiasts study Masonic codes to help uncover his secrets.

Magic Squares

In Magic Squares the addition of each of the rows and columns add up to the same number. From Ancient times thinkers have explored these mathematical mysteries, uncovering deep ordering principles underlying numbers and geometry. Within his esoteric market analysis systems Gann used a "Squares of Nine" and a "Square of Four".

Philosophy

In ancient times science and philosophy were interwoven, such as in the ideas of Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, the Alchemists. Philosophy is at the root of human knowledge, and we specialise in systems of thought and ideology, particularly concentrated upon alternative and classical works.

Sean Erikson

Sean Erikson, with 25 years' experience, provides powerful astro-tools for advanced swing trading based upon celestial mechanics to consistently predict the angle of attack or slope of a forthcoming trend. A simple astro-timing tool gives the next 1-3 turns out and a geometrical price projection tool gives 2 probable price projections for each move.

Eric Penicka

The solution to Gann's Law of Vibration from the 1909 Ticker Interview. Penicka analyzes Gann’s exact words correlating them with the cutting edge science of Gann’s day to develop a system which identifies the “mathematical points of force” behind all market action. The Periodic Table of Elements determines a system of order based upon atomic structure which generates a master number set for each market defining its structure in price and time.

Sean Erikson

Sean Erikson, a trader and fund manager with 25 years’ experience, provides a set of powerful astro-tools for advanced swing trading based upon celestial mechanics. The key tool uses an astronomical component which consistently and beautifully predicts the angle of attack or slope of a forthcoming trend. This is combined with a simple astro-timing tool which indicates the next 1-3 turns out and a geometrical price projection tool which provides the two most probable price projections for each move.

Robert Rundle

Rundle’s expertise lies in decrypting the complex hidden codes that W. D. Gann used to veil his deeper secrets in his book The Tunnel Though the Air. People spend decades studying and attempting to decode the meaning behind this seemingly sappy romance/sci-fi novel, without realizing that it is really a scaffolding for a vast template of knowledge centering around cycles and astrological relationships.

Alexander Straker

Straker's Universal Golden Keys Series uses Circular Scaling thru Time-by-Degrees to provide the key to accessing Pendulum Motion in the financial markets. Straker reveals that the core of Gann Science is dependent upon specific, hidden scaling techniques needed for tools to work. He has cracked Gann's scaling system and shows how Golden Mean is hidden in Gann's work.

Johannes Sundberg

Sundberg's The Secret Science of Squaring elaborates a major series of insights within the field of W. D. Gann’s astrological market forecasting. Sundberg has rediscovered an approach to the application Gann's of astro-geometric price/time conversion and projection principles which operates to square price and time on market charts using a system of planetary geometry and astronomical timing.

Dr Lorrie Bennett

Dr. Lorrie Bennett is one of the only Gann experts to have cracked the Law of Vibration! After 20 years of grueling research she discovered a complex code in Gann's texts which led her to the full solution. Following in Baumring's footsteps, Dr. Bennett lays out the science behind the Law of Vibration in an intensive 4 Volume Advanced Series revealing the Patterns, Numbers, Planets & Geometry behind Gann's secret trading system.

The Commodity Forecasts of Samuel Benner One of the History’s First Providers of Financial Market Forecasts

One of earliest records of financial market forecasting came back in the mid-1800’s by an Ohio farmer named Samuel Benner (1832-1913).

Benner’s famous book Benner’s Prophecies of Futures Ups and Downs is a classic that influenced many future forecasters like Edward R. Dewey, Director of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, who assessed Benner’s pig iron price forecasts over a 60 year period and regarded this cycle as showing a remarkable gain/loss ratio of 45 to 1, calling it “the most notable forecast of prices in existence”.

Cover from Samuel Benners’ forecasting classic – Prophecies of Future Ups & Downs

Benner was a prosperous farmer who was wiped out financially by the 1873 panic and hog cholera epidemic. Upon his retirement he decided to see if he could discover the cause and timing of economic fluctuations, and in 1875 he began publishing commodity price and business forecasts which he continued until 1904.

Benner’s Cycles

He discovered an 11 year cycle in corn and hog prices with alternating peaks at 4 and 6 year intervals. He also discovered an 11 year cycle peak in cotton prices and a 27 year cycle in pig iron prices with lows every 11, 9 and 7 years and peaks in a sequential order of 8, 9 and 10 years. He described a 54 Year Panic Cycle which arose from panics every 16, 18, 20 years, with this series repeating every 54 years, or as he explains, “it takes panics 54 years in their order to make a revolution or to return to the same order”.

A chart depicting the cyclicality of Benner’s prophecies.

His book is one of the first examples of the development of cycles and periodicity theory in financial and commodity markets and was very popular amongst bankers and business men of the late 1800’s.

His cycles and numerical sequences were effective throughout the 20th century, and can still be found to be operative today, predicting financial prices. CosmoEconomic theorists will notice the similarities between his 11 year cycle and the sunspot cycle also of 11 years, something which has even been studied in current times by the Federal Reserve. Whether Benner was knowledgeable about this direct influence or not, he did make a connection through the weather and climate, and was likely aware of the earlier work on sunspots by Herschel, Jevons and others.

Benner never fully explained the basis of his cycle theories, but did state:

“The cause producing the periodicity and length of these cycles may be found in our solar system… It may be a meteorological fact that Jupiter is the ruling element in our price cycles of natural productions; while also it may be suggested that Saturn exerts an influence regulating the cycles in manufacture and trade”.

Further, Uranus and Neptune:

“may send forth an electric influence affecting Jupiter, Saturn and, in turn, the Earth… When certain combinations are ascertained which produce one legitimate invariable manifestation from an analysis of the operations of the combined solar system, we may be enabled to discover the cause producing our price cycles, and the length of their duration.”

Benner’s Prophecies

Benner has had a unending influence across history. Roger Babson was known to have quoted Benner and to have used his work as a foundation for his forecasting services. Dr. Jerome Baumring included Benner’s text as one of the foundational works in his forecasting course series.

A.J. Frost developed a variation of Benner’s cycles in his and Prechter’s Elliot Wave Principle, and Daniel T. Ferrera still tracks Benner’s cycles today in his yearly General Outlooks.
