Explore the incredible spiritual message of the myths of ancient Greece in an entirely new light, as you learn to speak the language of celestial metaphor in which they are in fact speaking to us. This book is the second in a multi-volume series which demonstrates that virtually all the sacred traditions of humanity share a common, celestial foundation: they are Star Myths, based upon the constellations and heavenly cycles which are used as esoteric allegories to convey profound spiritual truths. You will be amazed at the new understanding that this approach offers to the ancient myths. Included is a complete analysis of the celestial aspects of the Iliad and the Odyssey, along with new insights which can perhaps only be seen when they are examined in light of the celestial language which, this volume demonstrates, they are undoubtedly speaking. This volume is like a "Rosetta Stone" of the celestial language which forms the basis of virtually all of the ancient myths, texts and sacred traditions from around the world.

Embark on an epic journey of discovery through the myths, scriptures and sacred stories of our planet -- and the evidence that they are virtually all based upon a common system of celestial metaphor. Star Myths of the World was designed with two main goals: 1) to provide abundant evidence using literally hundreds of myths from around the world which demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that the sacred traditions of humanity all share a celestial foundation, and . . . 2) to teach you the reader how this ancient system works and how to recognize the language of the stars in the myths, building your "vocabulary" and "grammar" as you go along, so that you can eventually analyze Star Myths on your own. Using a unique format, in which the myths are presented in the first half of the book, and the star charts and celestial analysis are found in the second half of the book, you will learn how to perceive and interpret the distinctive patterns of celestial clues for yourself. The discussion and details presented build in complexity as you go along, so you that learn a few building blocks at a time and then learn how to see them in a variety of different mythological disguises and combinations. The evidence presented in Star Myths of the World revolutionizes the conventional understanding of "comparative religion" and mythology, and proves that the myths of humanity -- whether from the Aborigine cultures of Australia or the New Testament of the Bible, whether from Greek mythology or the Kich'e Maya of Central America, whether from ancient China or the Maori of Aotearoa -- all share a common foundation. Armed with this understanding, you will be able to dive even more deeply into the myths and sacred stories of humanity in newly rewarding ways, on your own.

This completely new edition of Star Myths of the World, Volume One, stands as the definitive guide to the ancient world-wide system of celestial metaphor which forms the foundation for the world's ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories, from virtually every culture on every inhabited continent and island of our planet. Embark on a journey of exploration through the myths of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient India, Ancient China and Japan, and of the cultures of Australia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Americas. You will encounter astonishing connections between the myths, and see how these connections reveal the existence of a vast ancient system which predates even the most ancient cultures and civilizations known to conventional history. And you will learn to listen to the myths in the language they are actually speaking -- a language of the stars, intended to convey profound (and practical) truths for our benefit and blessing in this life.

This A-to-Z reference offers in-depth information on the history and mythologies of the forty-eight classical constellations—with excerpts from ancient texts. The nightly appearance of the stars, their arrangement in the sky, their regular risings and settings through the course of the year, have been a source of endless wonder and speculation. But where did the constellations come from and what are the myths associated with them? Star Myths of the Greeks and Romans puts the answers at your fingertips. Included in this handbook are the only surviving works on the constellation myths that have come down to us from antiquity: an epitome of The Constellations of Eratosthenes —never before translated into English—and The Poetic Astronomy of Hyginus. Also provided are accurate and detailed commentaries on each constellation myth, and complete references for those who wish to dig deeper. This book is a comprehensive sourcework for anyone interested in astronomy or mythology—and an ideal resource for the occasional stargazer.
