About David Warner Mathisen

David Warner Mathisen is the author of a new series of books entitled Star Myths of the World, and How to Interpret Them, which diagrams the astonishing evidence that virtually all the myths, scriptures, and sacred stories of humanity – from all regions of our planet, and across the millennia – are based upon a common system of celestial metaphor.

Star Myths of the World, Volume One was released in late 2015, and examines the celestial foundations of myths from Australia, Africa, the Americas, ancient Egypt, ancient Sumer & Babylon, ancient India, China and Japan.

Future volumes will continue the analysis, through ancient Greece and beyond, including the stories of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.

Links to discussions of over eighty different Star Myths, as well as discussions of many other related topics, can be found on his website at davidmathisen.com

The Dust Of Centuries: Celestial Iconography In The Pylos Combat Agate
David Mathisen, in this original analysis of the Pylos Combat Agate, offers a stunning glimpse of “the great world-wide archaic construction” described in De Santillana and Von Dechend’s Hamlet’s Mill. The discovery of the Pylos Combat Agate in a Mycenaean shaft-grave tomb dating to 1500 BC may be one of the most significant […]

“Tantalizing Fragments of a Lost Whole”: The ancient myths of humanity begin to yield their secrets
David Mathisen explores the star myths of the world, and speaks the language of the stars. David’s mission, in believing that the stars convey omniscient truths about our dual material-spiritual condition here on earth, is to share his knowledge of celestial metaphor – the esoteric meaning imparted by the authors of ancient, […]

Balaam and the Ass
The position of the earth on its annual journey around the sun is currently bringing the part of the heavens into view which I believe forms the basis for the fascinating ancient scriptural incident of Balaam and his ass (or donkey). The account of Balaam is found in chapters 22 […]

In a Brazen Cauldron (13 months)
I’m really enjoying the way that online planetarium apps such as that created by Paul Neave at neave.com can be used to illustrate the star myths of the world’s ancient sacred traditions. Previously, we examined the well-known story of the love affair of Ares and Aphrodite, and the night that […]

The Old Man and his Daughter: the celestial shamanic message of the world’s ancient sacred mythology (part II)

Odin and Gunnlod: the celestial shamanic message of the world’s ancient sacred mythology
In The Undying Stars, I make the argument that all the world’s ancient sacred traditions are built upon a common esoteric system of celestial allegory — and that the message that these esoteric myths intended to convey includes a shamanic-holographic cosmology of tremendous sophistication and profound import.   Some readers […]
