A two-volume treasury of astral myth, solar worship, and cosmic wisdom. Gathered together for the first time, William Tyler Olcott’s Star Lore of All Ages and Sun Lore of All Ages form a complete celestial grimoire.

’Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!’

—Lord Byron

In these two volumes, Olcott unveils the storied past of the stars and the Sun, mapping the heavens through the lens of myth, mysticism, and sacred history. Explore the constellations as imagined by seers and sages, and the solar deities venerated across continents and cultures. With tales of sky-born beasts, stellar heroes, radiant gods, and the rites held in their honour, Celestial Lore of All Ages offers a compelling vision of the sky as humanity’s first temple.
