A constellation grimoire of myth, magic, and celestial wonder. Star Lore of All Ages traces the luminous paths of the constellations across myth and time. ’The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.’ —Psalm 19:1 This illustrated compendium of ancient legends and starlit symbolism brings together Greek heroes, Norse beasts, and Eastern sky-watchers in a panoramic journey across the firmament. William Tyler Olcott blends scholarly observation with poetic reverence, illuminating the stories behind the stars that have guided travellers, marked seasons, and inspired rituals since time immemorial. Drawing from classical sources, folklore, and astronomical history, this volume reveals how the Northern Hemisphere's constellations became celestial repositories of human meaning.

Excerpt from Star Lore of All Ages: A Collection of Myths, Legends, and Facts, Concerning the Constellations of the Northern Hemisphere The author's first book, A Field Book of the Stars was simply intended as a guide to the constellations. It was an effort on his part to acquaint the reader with the star groups and the individual star names. In his book, In Starland with a Three-inch telescope he sought to indicate to the amateur astronomer what could be seen of the stellar wonders with a modest telescopic equipment. It follows naturally that having come to be on friendly terms with the stars, and having seen many of the beautiful sights that the night reveals, the tyro should wish to know more of the history of the stars and how the constellations came to be named, and the purpose of this book therefore is to satisfy that desire. It is always a pleasure to trace back to their sources the traditions with which time has endowed the enduring, and thus the study of the myths and legends that surround the eternal stars possesses a surpassing charm for those who have learned to know them intimately and through nightly communion with them have come to love them. The author quotes extensively from R.H. Allen's Star Names and Their Meanings, an exhaustive and scholarly work and an authority on the subject, and he here pays tribute to the author for the pleasure a close perusal of his book affords, and heartily commends it to all those who desire to make a closer study of the philology of the ancient star names.
