- W4366070960 abstract "The solid sky-vault is a concept, which is well-documented in myths, folklore and fairy-tales from all over the world. According to this idea the sky consists of firm material such as stone, rock-crystal, glass, or metal. Sometimes pieces of the sky break off and fall down to the earth, or shamans climb up to the sky to fetch pieces of the sky’s material. The most well-known inspirations for such ideas were meteorites. From numerous cultures the veneration of meteorites and the use of the meteorites’ material in cultic contexts has been handed down to us. Concerning other materials like rock-crystal or lapis lazuli, the idea of their celestial origin was inspired by their colour or, in the case of special fossils, by their star-like appearance. Because of their supposed celestial origin such objects were worshipped and regarded as very powerful instruments for several purposes: they were used for divination and meditation, for healing, as well as for the repulse of harm and other uses. In this paper, I will give an introduction to the concept of the solid sky and its material. On the basis of examples from different cultures it will be shown, how the idea of the celestial origin of these materials had influenced their interpretation and use in a religious context." @default.
