Starlight Story

Stars, perhaps more than other astronomical signs, have always been closely associated with magic and sorcery: they appear at the tips of fairy wands, as magical talismans, as the background for enchanter’s charts, as decoration for wizards’ robes. The given form of the star (which is of course only an artist’s impression of a bright point of twinkling light) is a potent symbol in the culture and theology of many diverse civilisations.

All the Books of Mages tell us that for many generations wizards and seers have used the constellations, the families of stars in the night sky, as navigators, oracles, spirit guides and a rich source of mythology. The jewels of the midnight skies form a vast, encyclopaedic atlas, containing secrets and mysteries of which only the Great Watchers, the mighty stargazing mages might guess.
