About the author
Ernest Busenbark is the author of Symbols, Sex and the Stars, published by Book Tree, a wide-ranging survey of the origins of moon and sun worship, astrology, sex symbolism, the mystical meaning of numbers, and the Cabala across religious and popular tradition. The book collects and cross-references myths, customs, and superstitions from multiple cultures in pursuit of shared roots behind widely differing religious symbols. It has circulated for decades as a reference for researchers interested in comparative symbolism and the history of astrology, and it has drawn attention from later writers in the field, including the mythologist Jordan Maxwell. The book suits readers researching the symbolic and astrological roots of religious practice rather than those seeking a narrative history, functioning more as a compendium of cross-referenced material than a single continuous argument.
