... It has even been maintained that the ankh, termed in the figurative sense the symbol of life, is the source of the Cross: "The Egyptian ankh, the symbol of life, is a combination of male and female. By slight modification it became the cross..." (24). The hooked cross, the swastika, also appears to be related to the ankh: in at least one representation, "the androgynous goddess Ardhanari holds in the middle of her body the ' svastica', crux ansata, the cross with the handle, the male and female sign'." (25) The androgynous goddess Ardhanari offers a problem which has even ...

... ', shapes identical with Talbott's images, and apparently under rising electric stress they develop an increasing number of arms, which would explain different images and holy numbers. They follow the rotation of an external magnetic field and therefore form curved shapes that have been interpreted in mythology as flowing hair, or Medusa's head, the triskelion, or the swastika. (After the conference, CJ Ransom described a plasma experiment he did in the 60s which preferentially formed 3 and 4 rotating spokes. In AEON Vol. IV:5 , p. 26, Dwardu Cardona reproduced from Limits of Uncertainty by Jueneman (Chicago, 1975) this quote from Ransom on his studies of magnetohydrodynamics where ionised ...

... the fact that the polar heavens were a vast complication of wheels. There turned the eternal wheel of the Law. It was the home of the supernal Chaka which implies rotation. It was the realm of the whorl, whose emblem is found in astonishing profusion in the dust and ashes of the earth's oldest cities. There also turned the Swastika as an inevitable production of the whirling or spinning vapors round the pole. Why would the painter place a wheel in the underworld unless he already had seen it in actual display in the very place of wheels and rotators? But the fossil Ixion tells the tale. Here is the "axle" and the axle is at the pole ...

... Fire-wheel then leads to an important conclusion as to the production of Dire in religious ceremonies and the wheel of Fortune is identified with the revolution of Time which brings in his revenges. The Buddhist wheel of the Law is also referred to the revolution of the heavens, while the Law is that of the universe they enclose. And so the Swastika becomes a skeleton symbol of the wheel or the whirligig, and is connected also with the Labyrinth. Attention must also be directed to the new Romaunt of the Rose, which seeks to identify that famous symbol also with the Wheel. The conception of revolving Time leads to a somewhat full discussion of the archaic gods who personified Endless Time ...

... because it's not just a case of "well, we may at least see if we can get to required orbits to work under gravity-only, before we go inventing ad-hoc electro-magnetic magic" - there are other things to be explained beyond dry old orbital trajectories: - take Venus *appearance* for instance: can all that streaming radiance and swastika fireworks be explained using gravity only?

65. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dynamics of the plasma focus device resolved several paradoxes that had frustrated Dave for more than twenty years. What gave the luminous streamers- radiating from the center of the configuration- their unusual symmetry? Why were there sometimes three streamers and at other times four or eight, or more? Why did the streamers sometimes curl into a triskeleon, swastika, or whorl? And why did they take on the appearance of wildly disheveled "hair" in periods of celestial disorder? The various forms of discharge from the plasma focus answered each question. The repulsive force between the individual streamers will spread them into symmetrically spaced equilibrium positions. As the intensity of the discharge grows, so do ...

... that Amerind culture was in place by no later than 500 BC. Their art speaks of migrations and catastrophes. Catastrophism is the only model to explain the signs: most tribal art tells a similar story. Themes found in drawings by Maya, Klingit, Hopi, Apache and Dogon tribes are found in Germany, Australia and India. The swastika may be a representation of Thor's hammer. Ev Cochrane then presented Mars Rocks in Ancient Myth and Modern Science. In this tour de force he reported that a meteor shower in 1911 brought a shower of rocks on Nakhla, Egypt, at least one of them coming almost certainly from Mars! To date, ten Martian meteorites have been ...

It is manifest that tree symbols cannot be separated from the symbols of the seasons, the symbols of the heavenly bodies, etc., and that they must be considered in their association with the ancient concepts partly expressed by the swastika and spiral. When ancient man connected trees and stones, horns and pillars and mountains, rivers, lakes and heavenly bodies, one with another, he did so because to him all were parts of a perfect whole.

... who attached religious significance to the `serpent', rose against Christianity. It was chiefly the excellent organization, the uncomplicated belief, and the social ideals, of the latter which saved it from being overcome. When Nazism in Germany, and Fatherlandism (Dollfussism) in Austria, whose respective symbols are the single, and the double, swastika, became a menace to the working classes of those countries, the latter evolved as a helpful rallying symbol the `three arrows', whose essential and effective constituent is the wave-line. More recently still, when Nazism revealed its true nature as a world-menace to democracy, Britain, as the chief representative of, and protagonist for, ...

... on Wal Thornhill & Ev Cochrane's papers Wal Thornhill said he was sorry he didn't bring his slide looking down the barrel of a discharging plasma focus device discharging. Birkeland currents run from the central cylindrical conductor to the outer concentric cylindrical conductor and they space themselves equally so that it looks like radiant streamers. The streamers can rotate, giving various swastika and whirling effects. The streamers follow the field lines, which in the polar configuration curve away from Venus towards Saturn. So, the appearance of Venus from Earth as a radiant flower or 8-fold star will only work in the polar configuration, because the magnetic field has to stem radially outwards, symmetrically, which it wouldn't do if ...

On other sculptures, and on the painted pottery of Tiahuanaco, the various numerical' symbols are evidently used as decorative ornaments only, much as we, for instance, might employ crosses', or crescents', or swastikas', to adorn some object, without wishing to impart a religious or political impression thereby. 10.
