Astronism

Astronism is a cosmocentric organised philosophy or religion founded by the philosopher Cometan in NW England in the 21st century AD and was introduced in a two million word long treatise called the Omnidoxy.

A synthesis of religion and philosophy, Astronism is considered to the next logical step on from the ancient practices of astrolatry (worship of the stars) and astromancy (divination by the stars). Its founder, Cometan, organised the Astronic tradition which includes astronomical religions practiced prehistorically as far back as the late Stone Age, of which Astronism is considered to be a descendent.

Characterised by a vast collection of beliefs and ideas, the majority of which hold an astronomical theme, Astronism emphasises The Cosmos as a source of discovering existential purpose, the belief in cosmosis (reunion with nature upon one’s death), and the destiny of humanity to achieve transcension (salvation and freedom) through space exploration.
