1. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... known as God B. (95) This setting reminds us of the fact that Venus was known as Nohoch Ich, "Great Eye", among the Maya. (96) Indeed, as we have documented elsewhere, the identification of Venus as the eye of the great god is a seemingly universal motive. (97) Brian Stross has recently presented evidence supporting this interpretation of the Ik-sign. Stross compared the iconography of the Ik-sign with that of the quincunx, a recognized Venus-glyph among the Aztecs and Mayans. (98) Stross demonstrates that the two glyphs frequently appear in homologous iconographical settings, one of the more intriguing of which is the region of the heart, ...
2. Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. XII No. 1 (Winter 1987) Home | Issue Contents Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities Brian Stross Copyright (c ) 1986 by Brian Stross INTRODUCTION Venus and Sirius share the distinction of being the brightest asterisms (heavenly bodies) in the night sky, except for the Moon. But Sirius is a star, while Venus as a planet is a mover among stars. Nevertheless, Sirius in the Old World and Venus in Mesoamerica share a number of attributes quite apart from their shared brightness. Some of these characteristics- such as their color and the sounds of their names - appear to be arbitrarily associated with them, so that the ...

4. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... the only element concerning the Mesoamerican Morning Star which Krupp could not reconcile with present conditions. Noting that the various Mayan names for the Morning Star, when applied to Venus, "make sense," he was careful to add that "Venus would not usually be described as red." (84) Going a little further, Brian Stross has noted that: "Connecting Venus with the color red is surprising, of course. Venus, if it can be said to have a color, would have to be described as silvery. Only Mars, of the planets, could be described as red' or reddish'. Oddly, Venus was given by the Maya a ...
5. The Original Star of Dawn [Articles]
... interpret the Quetzalcoatl myth, however, is that it was the heart of Quetzalcoatl, and not Quetzalcoatl himself, who turned into Morning Star. In the meantime we are left with a conundrum that has been noted and commented upon by various students of Mesoamerican lore-the fact that the Mesoamericans described the Morning Star as having been red. As Brian Stross noted: "Connecting Venus with the color red is surprising, of course. Venus, if it can be said to have a color, would have to be described as silvery. Only Mars, of the planets, could be described as red' or reddish'. Oddly, Venus was given by the Maya a Martian color ...

... layman," we almost take it as a compliment because, after all, specialization can be seen as a sign-post on the road to scholarly excellence. A certain amount of technicality cannot, of course, be helped when dealing with technical subjects. We do, however, strive for a balanced presentation. Thus, the paper by Brian Stross in IV:1 may have been too technical for some of our readers, as also, I am sure, will be the one by Robert Driscoll in the present issue. The rest of the articles in both cases, on the other hand, should be easily understood and, hopefully, of interest to all of our readers ...
9. Paired Sets in the Hebrew Alphabet [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:1 (Apr 1995) Home | Issue Contents Paired Sets in the Hebrew Alphabet Brian Stross The Hebrew alphabet is often divided into two sets of eleven letters each, to cryptographic ends. It is argued here that a more natural division opposes the first nine letters in sequence to the second nine, creating nine pairs, while the last four can be paired off in order, two at a time. Numerical values accorded the letters fit well with the suggested pairings but, more than that, these pairings are reinforced by a consideration of the traditional letter name meanings, the meanings of near homophones, and by the formal attributes of the letters themselves ...

... Like a light she is shining down from the sky...In her hands she is keeping the abundance of the land." [50] On Springs and Eyes It is not without interest to note that, in various ancient languages, there is an explicit relationship between words for "well-spring" and "eye." Brian Stross noted this fact many years ago in this very journal: "The letter name ayin, eye, ' also means hole, ' sight, ' ring, ' source, ' and spring (of water)...The name ayin is apparently cognate with Assyrian enu, inu eye, spring.
