Читать книгу Celtic Moon Signs: How the Mystical Power of the Druid Zodiac Can Transform Your Life - Helena Paterson - Страница 30

The Capricorn constellation in Celtic star myths was associated with a White Stag, an aquatic goat-stag and a sea cow, a strange sea creature. But its position in the heavens primarily marked the Sun’s location at the Winter Solstice. Its associated mythology is therefore related to the return of their Sun gods in the form of a White Stag or strange sea creatures. The symbol of the goat-stag creature appears to confirm their knowledge of Greek and Egyptian astrology – with an odd compromise having been made at some stage. The association with strange sea creatures is found in many of their myths, and is an underlying theme relating to their belief in their own watery origins.
