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.
