... , with its thunderbolts, were sent down, and declared God to be there present in a gracious way to such as Moses desired he should be gracious. Now, as to these matters, every one of my readers may think as he pleases; but I am under a necessity of relating this history as it is described in the sacred books. This sight, and the amazing sound that came to their ears, disturbed the Hebrews to a prodigious degree, for they were not such as they were accustomed to; and then the rumor that was spread abroad, how God frequented that mountain, greatly astonished their minds, so they sorrowfully contained themselves within their tents, ...
82. From the Coming of Titus to besiege Jerusalem to the Great Extremity to which the Jews were reduced [Books]
... followed by a great many of the zealots; these seized upon the inner court of the temple (1 ) and laid their arms upon the holy gates, and over the holy fronts of that court. And because they had plenty of provisions, they were of good courage, for there was a great abundance of what was consecrated to sacred uses, and they scrupled not the making use of them; yet were they afraid, on account of their small number; and when they had laid up their arms there, they did not stir from the place they were in. Now as to John, what advantage he had above Eleazar in the multitude of his followers, ...
... of heaven, hence it is standing with face towards the North-east that one offers libations, and standing towards the North-east that one leads up the dakshinas; it is by the gate that he (the priest) thus makes him enter into the world of heaven." To the Ainu the North-east, according to Batchelor, is the most sacred of all points.10 The North-east is likewise of importance in Celtic mythology In the "Cuchullin Saga" the god Lugh (" the Celtic Apollo") is referred to as" a lone man out of the North-eastern quarter", while the goddess Morrigan comes "from the North-west "11 Winifred Faraday, dealing with the Scandinavian ...
84. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Navels [Books]
... , of the northern terrestrial navel or nave, which turned on the cosmic axe-tree. The Navel, nabhih, became in the Vedas, by (as will presently be seen) a natural extension, first the Altar, and then its sacrifice the centre of worship being attracted-by and assimilated-to the centre of the worshipped. Agni too, the sacred Fire, the messenger also of the gods, was present on the sacrificial altar-navel as well as at the nave of the wheel, of the fire-wheel, the navel of the heavens. Under the head of " The Wheel " in Vol.II. I dwell at greater length on the Touraine altar placed-on and turned-about on a cart-wheel ...
85. Forum: Do the Early Middle Ages Survive Only as a Sacred Cow? C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:1 (Jul 2002) Home | Issue Contents FORUM Do the Early Middle Ages Survive Only as a Sacred Cow?A response to Trevor Palmer by Heribert Illig Trevor Palmer [1 ] has to responded to a paper which Hans-Ulrich Niemitz first drafted as early as 1995. In this paper Niemitz tried to summarise the theses of what I call the invented Early Middle Ages'. Palmer's introduction reproaches Niemitz because crucial facts [are] missing' from his paper. These missing facts' require a clarification. In 1991 Niemitz and I wrote our first articles on a proposed reconstruction of early medieval chronology and history. Since then, ...
... , and so on; so, as the cycle swept onward, each group of four years would be marked by a date in the cycle, which would allow the place of the group of years in the cycle to be exactly defined. But as the cycle swept onward, the date would sweep backward among the months of the great sacred year until its end. To make this clear, it will be well to construct another diagram somewhat like the former one. Let us map out the 1460 years which elapsed between two successive coincidences between the 1st of Thoth in the vague year and the heliacal rising of Sirius at the solstice, so that we can see at a ...
87. On Mars and Pestilence [Journals] [Aeon]
... one of the immortals come down from the bright sky, know that I will not fight against any god of the heaven, since even the son of Dryas, Lykurgos the powerful, did not live long; he who tried to fight with the gods of the bright sky, who once drove the fosterers of rapturous Dionysus headlong down the sacred Nyseian hill, and all of them shed and scattered their wands on the ground, stricken with an ox-goad by murderous Lykurgos, while Dionysus in terror dived into the salt turf, and Thetis took him to her bosom, frightened, with the strong shivers upon him at the man's blustering. But the gods who live at their ease ...
88. Sky Woman [Journals] [Aeon]
... [26] The same belief is common to many tribes in South America. One of the most instructive myths in this regard comes from the Sikuani Indians of the Orinoco plains of Colombia and Venezuela. Virtually unknown prior to the 20th century, the Sikuani long resisted the best efforts of anthropologists and clerics to infiltrate their culture and observe their sacred practices. Indeed, it is only in the last fifty years that anthropologists have succeeded in recording the tribe's oral traditions, a number of which preserve what appear to be extremely archaic mythological motifs. The Creation myth of the Sikuani begins as follows: "In those days the sun and the moon and everyone were human beings and lived ...
89. The Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... [38] Now I happen to believe that the Maya did know what they were about, so I divided this magic number by the synodic values given by the Maya for Venus and Mars that indicate repetitions within this magic number time length. I also divided it by the old year concepts of 360 and 365 days and by the Maya sacred year of 260 days. When the mathematics revealed a relationship, I remembered the phrase "harmony of the spheres" and I wondered if the results I was observing through my mathematics was evidence of such ancient harmony. My enthusiasm was further heightened when I applied my synodic days to a basic astronomy equation that is used to calculate synodic ...
