From prehistoric times, humans have observed the night sky with the changing rotations of stars, constellations and planets. People recognized different stars appeared at the beginning of spring, and other stars at the beginning of winter. Certain stars seemed to bring up the sun at dawn, while others brought darkness and all the dangers of the night.

Consequently, certain stars seemed to have the power to bring good weather and good hunting or harvests. Other stars seemed to be portents of evil. As people told stories explaining the stars and the powers they seemed to have, they also associated the position of planets with great events: floods, fires, war, famine. In this way, some stars came to be identified with certain gods and worshiped, while others were identified with evil and feared.
