Introduction
What is the value of studying the stars? As the wise Shrek once said, "the stars don't tell the future, donkey, they tell stories." Stellar Magic is not about reading someone's horoscope, or trying to predict the future by looking to the stars. The stars do not tell us where we are going, but rather where we have been. The ancients associated stars and constellations with gods for specific and intentional reasons, same as the animal associations they also made, color associations, relations to specific geographies, etc. The study of the stars is therefore the study of the gods, as well as esoteric symbols which can teach us about the reality we inhabit.
Stellar Magic is a rediscovery of knowledge from the Stellar Tradition and Sky Religions of early humanity, and then an application of this to the modern day and especially one’s own life. It is both magic and academia, a place where the line blurs beyond recognition. Why was value once given to the circumpolar stars, but is now placed upon the zodiac and sun? How does the property of never setting compare to something which sets everyday or for months at a time? Why was one specific alignment of the stars so much more important to the Egyptians, as opposed to those stars being in a different position? Why were certain gods associated with certain stars, constellations, planets, etc. instead of others, surely it was not arbitrary? How did our ancestors treat these heavenly bodies, and how do we integrate that into our own lives? Which stars are you going to look for first if you are lost in the wilderness? The Egyptians knew all knowledge was simply rediscovery, it is what Plato called anamnesis. This is Stellar Magic.
