The Myth of the Year reveals the astronomy underlying Celtic and
Greek mythology using the calendar of the Druids discovered in
Coligny, France and the Sacred Calendar of Eleusis of ancient
Greece. The myths of the ancients follow the seasons through the
constellations illuminating the path of knowledge our ancestors
lived throughout their year. To fully explain the meaning of these
seasonal myths, the origin of the goddesses and the gods are traced
to their Neolithic roots using Marija Gimbutas' archetypes of the
Neolithic Pantheon. Indo-European adaptations made to some of the
major deities are also discussed providing a profile of the
evolution of the ancient goddesses and gods from Neolithic times to
their present representations in the night sky. Besides linking
astronomy to mythology, The Myth of the Year presents an effective
and carefully researched path of ancient knowledge viable as a
source of patterns of the sky, the earth, the moon, and the sun,
meticulously plotted through eons of ancient knowledge.
