Synopsis

This book uses the study and analysis of myths, superstitions, rituals, occult practices, and symbolism to explore the origins of astronomy and the parallels between ancient and modern thought, tracing the influence of ancient ideas on contemporary life. The author explores the overlap between the scientific approach of the modern day and the symbolic approach of the ancients, arguing that the two are not entirely distinct and that an understanding of their connection is important for understanding both the history of thought and its significance in the present day.
