What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Pete Stewart has taken the time to properly map out the mythic frame of precession identified in the classic work Hamlet’s Mill. His writing is full of insights into the mind of the mythmakers and unifies disparate global traditions into a single original concept.” * Richard Heath, author of Matrix of Creation and Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization *
“This book is a stunningly coherent story of ancient myths expressed in terms of the measuring of time, or cosmos. Stewart’s view is that myth was an attempt to make sense of our human situation rather than to provide an explanation for the existence of the universe. It explains spirituality in a totally original way as a deeprooted enterprise to make sense of time.” * Anthony Blake, author of A Seminar on Time, The Intelligent Enneagram, and the forthcoming Ways of H *
” … this reexamination of creation myths in this new light today offers insights on how new ideas of the cosmos can be gained from modern astronomy, and deserves a place in any New Age lending library.” * The Midwest Book Review, Feb 2008 *
“This is a stunning account of the origin of creation myth and how it underpins the development of cultural and religious mores across societies globally, many strands of which are recognizable to the present day.” * Pat Alvis, reviewer, Mar 2008 *
