Description
The sky has long been a source of inspiration for human culture, with stories and myths woven around celestial phenomena. At its heart is symbolism, where one thing represents another, conveying meaning and significance. This collection of papers explores the use of symbols in relation to astronomy, astrology, and the sky across various cultures and time periods. From art history to analytical psychology, critiques, and accounts of astrology, these explorations shed light on the origins, function, and nature of symbols in cultural contexts. The papers presented here provide valuable insights into our understanding of symbolism, particularly in relation to the cultural applications of astronomy and astrology.
