Cosmic Deities

Cosmic Deities explores how ancient cultures used mythology and religious beliefs to understand the cosmos, examining the fascinating intersection of celestial deities, creation myths, and early cosmological models. It reveals how civilizations worldwide, from ancient Mesopotamia to the Americas, personified stars, planets, and cosmic forces, attributing divine roles to them.

These myths weren't just stories; they were early attempts to explain the universe, reflecting observations and cultural values. For example, a culture's understanding of planetary movements might be encoded in the actions of its planetary deities.

The book delves into the attributes of stellar and planetary deities, analyzing creation myths and how societies mapped the heavens. Each chapter builds upon the last, first introducing fundamental concepts and then exploring thematic elements like the significance of constellations and cosmic geography.

By integrating mythological analysis with historical and scientific contexts, Cosmic Deities offers a unique perspective on the origins of human curiosity about the universe and how early civilizations used available knowledge to make sense of it all.
