... the Reverend Pθre M. Mar. Guaccius' Compendium maleficarum (a book on witchcraft published in Milan in 1626), depicts the Devil scratching his claw marks into the upper right forehead of a new servant.(9 ) The claw-like scar on Gorbachev's head is similarly on the upper right forehead. Revelation 13:14 says that the dragon (i .e ., the Devil, according to Revelation 20:2 ) gives authority to the beast (the Kremlin's block). The prophecy of Revelation 13:4 to the effect that all the Earth will ask who can do battle with the beast might remind us of the spread of defeatist attitudes and of the widespread ...
... enough astronomical knowledge to foresee that at certain times inundations and other disturbances were to be expected; though probably they had no idea what exactly would eventually happen. In Greek mythology we read that one of the labours of Hercules was to bring up from the underworld, for a short time, the hell-hound Cerberus, with its terrible face and dragon tail, and with snakes clinging to its body; this seems to point to a close passage of Luna outside the Earth and to an unsuccessful attempt at capture. The Egyptians called the deluges the work of heaven. They regarded them as a sort of disease which attacked the Earth after certain intervals of time. Evidently only minor inundations ...

234. The Myth of Osiris (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... 1 Set, however, even shows traces of a much older descent. He is generally regarded as one of the oldest gods of Egypt, as a god, in fact, of the aboriginal tribes before the rise of the Egyptians proper. Set, whom the Egyptians called the Terrible One', is frequently equated with Apepi, the dragon of darkness that lived in the far west, whence it rushed forth every day with its grisly band of demons. Apepi has been interpreted by most authorities as the evil being that swallows the Sun every evening; but our interpretation is perhaps much more feasible: it explains the Qettu or demons as the products of the breakdown of the ...

... day before Apollo. Artemis had very strong lunar attributes and was the Greek Moon-goddess before Selene. Artemis became one of the most powerful of divinities, which also points to her being associated with the important new luminary. Moreover the Apollo worship became suddenly important as a counterpoise. Jealous Hera, enraged at her husband's new unfaithfulness, sent a dragon, Python, to kill Leto and her offspring, but Apolk) slew it. This is a very clear indication of the tailed Moon as it appeared after the capture, and the eventual loss of its tail. The full moon and new moon days were held sacred to Apollo. The number of floating' Aegean islands is augmented ...
237. Venus, Mars ... and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... make sense of the testimony bequeathed to us by our forebears in the form of myth, ritual, literature, art, astronomical records and language. In sacred lore from different cultures around the world, certain mythical traditions are to be found virtually everywhere - e.g . the Creation, the Golden Age', the Flood, the dragon combat, etc. A systematic analysis of the recurring themes and patterns in these different traditions reveals numerous parallels converging upon the respective planets, which are surprisingly consistent from land to land. If, for example, we were to ask for the planet Venus' dominant role in ancient mythology, the answer is obvious: it is the ...
238. More on Apollo [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... born on a "floating island" (heaving from quakes and tossing sea). The island is surrounded by a huge wall of water (compare the Red Sea parting). It is plunged into darkness and the agony continues for nine days and nights (the time of the Egyptian darkness). At the same time, the stinking dragon Python is seen in the sky; it disappears, but in Asia Minor fresh water springs become muddy and frogs are seen everywhere (another of the plagues of Egypt!). There is more yet: the congress of his father Jupiter-Zeus and his mother Saturn-Leto is seen as that of two "swans". Was it a close ...
239. The Stones of Time; Calendars, Sundials, and the Stone Chambers of Ancient Ireland by Martin Brennan (Book Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the winter solstice sunrise when a beam of light illuminates the back wall of the inner chamber of the mound. However, it is worth pointing out the several similarities with the Arthurian tale, Elcmar having the role of King Mark, and Oengus that of King Arthur. In that respect, the Dagda appears to have a connection with the dragon in myth. In addition, his consort, the goddess Aine, also took a serpentine form. Why this should impinge on the role the Sun, and the Moon, played at megalithic sites is a bit of a puzzle. An interpretation of abstract megalithic art might furnish a clue. It involves dots and cup marks, lines ...
... individual star rising referred to as Horus; they were always considered as goddesses. Hence, Horus seems to include constellations- that is, groups of stars rising- but not single stars. Since the northern constellations were symbolised by the name of Set, the god of darkness, we should take Set-Horus to mean that the stars in the Dragon were rising at sunrise. This may explain the meaning of a remarkable figure which has set Egyptologists thinking a great deal. It is the combination of Horus and Set- a body of Horus with two heads, those of the hawk and jackal. Now then for the myth. The reason why Naville went to the temple of Edfϋ ...
