******************************************************
In occult practice, Cosmology relates to the specific viewpoint of a culture or region, and is generally expressed by their particular creation myths.

The study of occult cosmology includes astrology, spirit work, weather magick, and many other elements of the natural world surrounding the student.

Going further than the science, occult cosmology is studied to provide understanding of purpose and structure of being. "Why am I here?"

Perhaps the most important theory of occult cosmology is the "macro/micro view" of the universe. Directly related to "as above, so below", it holds that within us is a miniature blueprint of the universe and world around us.

Further study specifically towards cultural cosmology by trying to relate to creation myths, important astrological beliefs, etc., can help the occult student to look deeper within themselves and find significant connection to what is outside of them.
