The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades: Stories From Around the
World
-- Finalist 2005 Lambda Literary Award for
Religion/Spirituality
The source of much mythology, wisdom and science over many
millennia these celestial celebrities appear again and again in stories from
many cultures. In this wonderfully rich, absorbing book, Munya Andrews draws
on the mythology of the Pleiades to tell us much about our common humanity.
Beginning with her grandmother's tale, Andrews takes the reader to the
stars, around and across the planet through Indigenous North America,
Australia, Japan and the Pacific, and back through time to Ancient Egypt,
India, Greece and South America. The book is also an examination of culture
and how it is expressed through symbols and stories related to stars and
other astronomical phenomena. Her work is distinguished from other studies
in the field because she brings to it an Indigenous perspective, which
enriches its interpretative power. No other writer has captured the richness
of this mysterious star cluster.
