Despite its unfortunate contemporary associations withcrystal balls, tarot cards and newspaper horoscopes, there isnothing inherently magical or superstitious about the zodiac.It is merely a belt of constellations which straddle theecliptic.Since the dawn of time man has used these constellationsand the celestial bodies to map both time and geography,and the stories attached to these movements began to takeon mythologies across the world. The Greek gods,Hercules, Apollo and Dionysus are all examples of thesesolar entities.This book explores the astrotheological origins of theAncient Mediterranean and Near Eastern faiths; Mithraism,Judaism and Christianity. It aims to show how these sisterfaithsall sought salvation through the celestial bodies, andadopted the astral stories of their ancestors as thefundamental basis of their religion.
