The relationship between the human soul and the stars has been central to the spiritual and esoteric traditions of Western thought, and many other cultures, for thousands of years. Medieval Christians thought that heaven was located above the Earth and beyond the stars. Our modern society, however, has largely severed the relationship between the human spirit and the sky. This book explores ideas, beliefs, and practices which meet at the boundary of psychology and cosmology, the universe, and human imagination. This book addresses this special relationship from a variety of challenging and inspiring approaches.
