Human beings in all cultures have long used the sky to tell stories
and weave myths that impart meaning to life on earth. The key to
all such systems is symbolism, in which one thing is used to
signify, imply, represent, or embody another. The papers included
in this volume are all concerned, in one way or another, with
various perceptions of the world of celestial phenomena as symbols.
These explorations range from art history and analytical psychology
to critiques and accounts of astrology, and roam from western to
non-western cultures, as well as from the ancient world to the
modern. The papers, most of which were given at the University of
Wales Trinity Saint David Sophia Centre Conference in Bath, UK, in
2011, provide a valuable addition to the scholarly literature on
our understanding of the origins, function, and nature of symbols,
especially their use in relation to cultural applications of
astronomy, astrology, and the sky.
