Not to be confused with cosmic devotion.
Cosmic deification, also known as astrodeification, astral deification, astronomical deification, and historically referred to as astrolatry, is the belief involving the association of a celestial object or phenomena with a particular God. This is distinguished from cosmic devotion because although cosmic devotion associates direct divinity with celestial objects and astronomical events and practices a range of devotions towards such subjects, but does not attribute or identify them with a God.
Cosmic deification has a long history under the historical term of astrolatry.
