The lore surrounding sun worship is among the most antiquated and far-reaching traditions of man's mythological inventions. It if believed that sun lore, in its most primitive form, lies at the foundation of our earliest mythologies and religions.
This book is a collection of descriptive myths from around the world and of all ages. A common belief amongst ancient peoples was that the sun and moon were personified beings, an idea that eventually permeated many cultures worldwide.
From the more familiar Egyptian, Greek, and Norse worship of the sun, to the less well-known mythologies of the Pacific Islands, Native Americans, and peoples of the Far East, this book gives a comprehensive overview of man's fascination with the sun.
Sun Lore of All Ages also explains the related mythologies concerning solar omens, sun and moon relationships, solar creation myths, superstitions, symbolic worships, sun catcher myths and traditions of burial, festival, and emblematic forms of worship.
