Astrological Myths. From the Star of Bethlehem and the Celestial Cow to the Babylonian Horoscope and the Mysteries of Mithras
19.99 €
Astrological myths arose in ancient times from cosmogonic legends and religious beliefs. They were formed not only on the basis of many hours of observation of the starry sky, but also as a result of human reflections on fate, the interconnection of all things, the accidental and the natural in life. Ideas about the stars as a flock of sheep driven by the shepherd-Moon, about an eclipse as a dragon devouring the Sun, about the Heavenly River and other mythological motifs developed throughout Eurasia, from India and China to Greece and Scandinavia. Thanks to this book, you will learn about the history of the zodiac, star tables, constellations and the first horoscopes, and also about how our ancestors came to this knowledge and what they wanted to find in the endless sky.
