PREFACE

The myth has come to mean that which is "fanciful, absurd and unhistorical". Yet myths
are "all grave records of ancient religious customs and events, and reliable enough as
history once their language is understood and allowance has been made for errors in
transcription, misunderstandings of obsolete ritual, and deliberate changes introduced for
moral or political reasons." (Graves, Robert. The White Goddess. London, Faber, 1948.)

The religious myths of humanity contain repeated well defined symbols such as the Great
Mother and the Lame Smith. When these symbols are fitted to the precise order of the
signs of the zodiac this gives the cosmological key to the mysteries of the universe or
macrocosm and the human body which is the microcosm.
1
Man, as a spiritual being, is a direct recipient of the energies of the universe, which flow
in through his psychic centres or chakras along the spine. Mythology gives information
on esoteric psychology which goes far beyond twentieth century concepts of the nature of
man. We have much to learn from mythological teachings when these are presented in a
rational manner following the prescribed order of the zodiacal signs. Hence the writing of
this Book.

DEDICATION

I pay homage to those teachers of the early civilizations who left us the body of truths
known as the Ageless Wisdom.

I have witnessed the Stellar Dance of Shiva as Nataraja and have seen human exponents
of this dance such as my friend Haze near Kalakshetra. The Great Breath with its
ceaseless rhythm pulsates constantly throughout our universe. When we become alive to
the universe our minds begin to respond to the greater consciousness of the Cosmic
Ocean of Space.

I dedicate this Book to those who have shown me the Infinite Glory of the Universal
Dance of the "Heavenly Snails". May the Brotherhood of Angels and of Men be realized
on Earth as it is in Heaven.

MAAT is the Egyptian Goddess of Truth. This Truth lies beyond teachers and schools
but can be reached through intuition. The means of grasping Truth is related to
meditation. Truth is not capable of
fragmentation in its ultimate reality. The minds of men degrade it by interminable
analysis. Truth in essence is indivisible and can be reached through the integrative mind
of the Higher Self.

How to Read This Book

The concept of the Mandala as an integrative structure is widely held by depth
psychologists such as C.G. Jung. The Mandala can be defined as a circle divided into four
equal segments or quarters. I have used the Mandala as a key to the zodiac and the
interactions between the universe and the human being. There is always inner space as
well as outer space. The inner space of consciousness can be expanded in
meditation to pervade the universe. This is known as Cosmic Awareness. The 'drop' of
individual consciousness can merge in the "ocean" of the Great Sea of Love - Wisdom
which pervades Space.

The outworking of zodiacal cosmogenesis through the Mandala has been dealt with
extensively in The Aquarian Mandala. In this present volume the key of the Mandala is
applied to comparative mythology. An outline of the zodiac and its twelve houses is
shown below. The three following pages give summaries of the gods, goddesses and
symbols related to the zodiacal sequences found in the mythologies of twelve
civilizations. The layout of the Tables in four triads should be studied with care
because this is the analytical key to this Book.

The interpretation of numbers in mythology is given in Part 10

Comparative Tables (A)

The circle of the zodiac is split into two hemispheres. The upper hemisphere is the
macrocosm or universe and the lower is the microcosm or human being.

The inner circle has four quadrants each of three signs. Emanation of the cosmos
commences in Capricorn and follows through Aquarius round the zodiac.

The four quadrants are:

1. Cosmic Godhead as a Trinity

2. Monadic Sun-Monad as a Star

3. Solar Higher Self or Individuality

4. Lunar Lower Self or Personality

The following tables show the correlations between the major mythologies according to
this sequence.
