Alchemy With John Gibbons

David Mathisen returns to Alchemy to talk about his new book, 'Star Myths of the World And How To Interpret Them; Volume 1', which presents evidence, using representative myths, scriptures and sacred traditions from many different cultures on every part of the globe, which demonstrates the existence of an ancient system of celestial metaphor that forms the bedrock foundation of humanity's shared mythological inheritance. The book also demonstrates the outlines of this system and the 'vocabulary' and 'grammar' that it uses, so that readers can begin to understand the "celestial language" in order to converse with the ancient myths and sacred stories for themselves -- in order to benefit from their profound wisdom in new and unexpected ways.Volume One examines representative myths, scriptures, and sacred traditions from Australia, Africa, the Americas, the Pacific, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Sumer & Babylon, Ancient India, China and Japan.  More info: David MathisenHost: John GibbonsMusic: Joe 'Bean' E
