... the parts played by Venus (Ishtar) and Nergal (Mars) it is impossible that Mercury could have been of such importance to the Babylonians if its position in the solar system had always been what it is today. Mercury was the chief god of the Gauls.(1 ) The animals associated with the planet were the goat, cock and monkey or ape which were probably the shapes assumed by the planet in the sky. Where did Mercury come from and what caused it to pass near the Earth? In early times following the Flood of Noah, Jupiter would have been much closer to the Earth(2 ) and might have been on an orbit which brought it ...
2. Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning [Books]
... . Mr. Robert Brown, Jr., says that in China the Kung, or zodiacal signs, are the Tiger (Sagittarius); the Hare (Scorpio); the Dragon (Libra); the Serpent (Virgo); the Horse (Leo); the Ram (Cancer); the Ape (Gemini); the Cock (Taurus); the Dog (Aries); the Boar (Pisces); the Rat (Aquarius); the Ox (Capricornus). This is a zodiac indeed; but although the latest research I notably by the late Doctor Terrien de Lacouperie] points to a more western origin of Chinese civilization [as of about 3000 ...
3. The Night of the Gods Vol II [Books]
... There is another view of these " sickles," that they are meant for curved radii to imply wheel-motion, like the designs on the Hissarlik whorls (as to which please see Index). These human legs are also on the coins of Aspendos in Pamphylia, "charged" sometimes on a flying eagle, sometimes accompanied by a barndoor cock, regardant. On a Lycian coin the I"sickles" even become three cocks' necks with crested heads.. Three winged monsters take exactly the same position on a Persian cylinder. ' On this subject, reference is also requested to " the Tomoye " (p . t). This bird-symbology is, for me' ...
... his life to satisfy her whim, but before taking leave of this world he desired to see his friends and relations once more, and he invited them all to his house. Meantime his dog was made aware of the master's approaching end, and such sadness took possession of the faithful beast that he touched neither food nor drink. The cock, on the other hand, gaily appropriated the food intended for the dog, and he and his wives enjoyed a banquet. Outraged by such unfeeling behavior, the dog said to the cock: "How great is thy impudence, and how insignificant thy modesty! Thy master is but a step from the grave, and thou eatest ...
... moral qualities as a pattern for man. If the Torah had not been revealed to us, we might have learnt regard for the decencies of life from the cat, who covers her excrement with earth; regard for the property of others from the ants, who never encroach upon one another's stores; and regard for decorous conduct from the cock, who, when he desires to unite with the hen, promises to buy her a cloak long enough to reach to the ground, and when the hen reminds him of his promise, he shakes his comb and says, "May I be deprived of my comb, if I do not buy it when I have the means ...
6. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Noah [Books]
... they could walk and talk; they themselves aided the mother in severing the navel string. Not even demons could do them harm. Once a new-born babe, running to fetch a light whereby his mother might cut the navel string, met the chief of the demons, and a combat ensued between the two. Suddenly the crowing of a cock was heard, and the demon made off, crying out to the child, "Go and report unto thy mother, if it had not been for the crowing of the cock, I had killed thee!" Whereupon the child retorted, "Go and report unto thy mother, if it had not been for my uncut navel ...
7. Pillars of the Past by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... all of these alleged kingdoms could have existed as developed civilisations with an extensive agricultural industry was no more than 500 years, after which the ground would have become too salty and been unable to sustain a population of more than a tiny size. This throws all the theories about Sumur', Old Babylon' and New Babylon' into a cocked hat because agricultural science appears to forbid them. If correct, the information requires that the entire history of that region in the first and second pre-modem millennia be re-thought, re-evaluated and most importantly reduced. There can be no recourse to any purely historical documents', to limmu lists or stelae, to what some glibly call the historical ...
8. The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes edited by Iona and Peter Opie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as far away as China, where it is important the snail puts out its horns, and in Four and twenty tailors went to kill a snail, its horns are described as like a cow's and there is some lethal quality associated with its tail. Could this be cometary imagery? A few rhymes hint of mythological relics. Ride a cock horse has older versions with an old woman on a black horse; its association with a very ancient cross is suggestive. Can you make me a cambric shirt, is in a line of myth in which the hero or heroine is set impossible tasks and lines repeating the names of herbs suggest it has associations with magical incantations. Humpty ...

... for the twentiety-century scholar is clear. Never mind logic; never mind the precise meaning of words or the results of exact research." And having stated for some reason that "the most insidious part of the argument is the appeal to Biblical sources" and having mixed up Ovid and Hesiod, she finished with a seven-line verse from The Cock and the Bull to make the piece as derisive as possible: Excuse me, sir, I think I'm going mad. You see the trick on't, though, and can yourself Continue the discourse ad libitum, It takes up about eighty thousand lines, A thing imagination boggles at; And might, odds-bobs, sir! in judicious ...

... the warden of earth; v.56), Hrym, the leader of the giants, (v .50) and Baldr, son of Odin and Frigg (v .62), for example. (There are other more peripheral deities, too, who seem to be superfluous to V's requirements- for example, the two cocks Fjalar and Gollinkambi of v.42-3; the howling dog, Garm, of v.44 & v.49; and the elves and dwarfs of v.48.) But though the Fenris Wolf and the Midgard Serpent both feature in the battle they do not, so far as I can see, do battle with each ...

... world. Now eight millions of gods, embarrassed and confused, assembled in front of the cave, and consulted among themselves how the light might be restored. As the result of their consultation, many things of divine efficacy were produced, such as mirrors, swords, and cloth offerings. Trees were set up and decorated with jewels; cocks were brought that they might keep up perpetual crowing; bonfires were lighted; and a dance was performed by a goddess called Uzume, with merry musical accompaniment. The curious dance of Uzume so amused all the assembled gods that their laughter filled the air and made the earth tremble. The Sun- goddess in the cave heard the merry ...
13. KA [Books]
... alauda cristata is the crested lark. The Legio Alauda was a legion named after the lark. The crested wren was called turannos, king. In line 291 ff., we hear that the birds are crested as though for the hoplitodromos, the soldier's footrace, in which each soldier wore a crested helmet and carried a shield. The cock, alektruon, was the most important domestic bird. The Persian king wore a peaked hat, kurbasia. The king alone wore it upright like a cock's comb. It is portrayed in a mosaic of the battle of Issus. The cock, alektryon, is not the only bird whose name contains the syllable al or el. We ...

It was adopted far Sicily by Agathocles, B.C . 317 to 307. The coins of Lycia were first three cocks' heads and necks joined together equidistant in the center of the field, as shown in fig.224, while figs. 225 and 226 bear a center dot and circle, This forms a hub and axle. Out of this hub spring three arms or rays, practically equidistant, the outer ends being bent to the left. ...

... influential variant was the idea of the heart-soul sprouting wings and soaring away. "On the death of a great noble, his soul was thought of as taking flight like a bird or a butterfly. At such a time he was addressed by those attending: Awaken, it has reddened, dawn has set in. Already, the flame-colored cock has sung, the flame-colored swallow, already the flame-colored butterfly flies. The most popular form of the "soul-bird" appears to have been the quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala. My friend Phil Peters, who lived for several years among the Quiche Maya of the Guatemala lowlands, recounts the story of the famous hero, Tecúm-Umám ...
16. The 'Unconscious' as a Literary Revolt Against Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... appear. Henri Ellenberger's excellent (1970)book brings out the highlights. (It is misleadingly entitled, The Discovery of the Unconscious. A small fraction of the large book actually deals with the Unconscious, and nowhere does the work treat of the hypothesis of the presently proposed research, except by utmost indirection and as noticed by an ear cocked for it. Its subtitle of The History and Evolution of Dynamic Psychiatry is more descriptive of the contents.) Mesmerism, spiritism, magnetism and hypnotism dominated early psychiatric circles. In literature, Edgar Allen Poe used the theories in his stories. The novelists Charles de Villers, E.T .A . Hoffman, Alexandre Dumas, ...

... one and all, were carried away into exile. (45) The heathen nations settled in Samaria by the Assyrians instead of the deported Ten Tribes were forced by God to accept the true religion of the Jews. Nevertheless they continued to worship their olden idols: the Babylonians paid devotion to a hen, the people of Cuthah to a cock, those of Hamath to a ram, the dog and the ass were the gods of the Avvites, and the mule and the horse the gods of the Sepharvites. (46) HEZEKIAH While the northern kingdom was rapidly descending into the pit of destruction, a mighty upward impulse was given to Judah, both spiritually and materially, ...
... long journey. Now he who had given this counsel repaired privily to the room where Amleth was shut up with his mother, and lay down skulking in the straw. But Amleth had his antidote for the treachery. Afraid of being overheard by some eavesdropper, he at first resorted to his usual imbecile ways, and crowed like a noisy cock, beating his arms together to mimic the flapping of wings. Then he mounted the straw and began to swing his body and jump again and again, wishing to try if aught lurked there in hiding. Feeling a lump beneath his feet, he drove his sword into the spot, and impaled him who lay hid. Then he ...

... the `red beast', upon which `the-woman' sat, is unknown, though it appears to be assumed by biblical scholars to have been a `dragon', which does not seem to be too fantastic a heraldic symbol for Atlantis. The origin of the custom of denoting countries by heraldic animals the British Lion, the French Cock, the Chinese Dragon, etc. -is not known. Note 81. There are numerous examples on the mythology of the world of myths telling that the first phase of the new satellite was `full moon'. Cf.

... and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the Earth'. Jewish myths tell how in that chaotic time not only mankind, but also angels', animals, and plants, became bad'. The angels mixed freely with men, and mated with them; dogs paired with wolves, horses with asses, cocks with peahens; and when wheat was sown barren grasses grew. It was this age of cosmic stress, culminating in the Deluge, which caused men to become sinful'-not this sin' which brought about the Deluge. The sin-obsession of German theologism has even influenced (some say ethnicized') the word for deluge, sin-vluot, universal inundation ...

... come to me to-day, and thou didst come on no other day?" The angel says, "To take thee away from the world, for the time of thy departure has arrived." Then man falls to weeping, and his voice penetrates to all ends of the world, yet no creature hears his voice, except the cock alone. Man remonstrates with the angel, "From two worlds thou didst take me, and into this world thou didst bring me." But the angel reminds him: "Did I not tell thee that thou wert formed against thy will, and thou wouldst be born against thy will, and against thy will thou wouldst die ...
