... e.g . the following passage from the Exaltation to Inanna: Devastatrix of the lands, you are lent wings by the storm...you fly about the nation. At the sound of you the lands bow down. Propelled on your own wings you peck away at the land. With a roaring storm you roar; with Thunder you continually thunder. ' [14] Would anyone viewing the planet Venus in its current manifestations ever be moved to describe it in such terms? In addition to their shared terminology, Venus and comets also share various mythological themes, including an association with the death of great kings, the end of the world, eclipses of the ...
292. The Reversed Polarity of the Earth, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Reversed Polarity of the Earth A thunderbolt, on striking a magnet, reverses the poles of the magnet. The terrestrial globe is a huge magnet. A short circuit between it and another celestial body could result in the north and south magnetic poles of the earth exchanging places. It is possible to detect in the geological records of the earth the orientation of the terrestrial magnetic field in past ages. "When lava cools and freezes following a volcanic outburst; it takes up a permanent magnetization dependent upon the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field at the time. This, because of ...

... below), [8 ] and this material dates to the early forties. There is thus no way to reconstruct this book since all we have are this short section together with some hints contained in Velikovsky's voluminous notes. Velikovsky even contemplated publishing this work as part of a larger book along with Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt (see immediately below). Saturn and the Flood. The available material for this work has been compiled by me in the online entry In the Beginning. For this purpose I drew not only on the material written in the early forties, originally scheduled as part of Worlds in Collision, but also on material from various lectures and ...

... have been struck by lightning, or attach a part of this tree to the arrow, believing its fire to be contained in the wood. The Oak Tree is more frequently struck by lightning than any other of the forest trees. Fire kindled by lightning was greatly reverenced by primitive peoples since they imaged their God coming down to earth as thunder and lightning. Great veneration was given the Oak and the Mistletoe growing upon it, for the life or spirit of the tree was supposed to be in the mistletoe, and therefore everliving. The Yule Log was of Oak, which was the King of the Forest. Its wood was burned at the midsummer festival as well as in ...
295. Solar System Studies [Journals] [Aeon]
... eddies suggest it may be a solid body tumbling along in the Jovian clouds. Some believe it represents stains of a 300 year old storm, but space photographs indicate stains dissipate into long planet girdling lines in just a few days. In legend Jupiter overthrew Saturn to become king of the gods. Jupiter was also the primary god of the thunderbolt. There are numerous references in ancient literature to the lightning of Jupiter and its adverse affects on earth and on other planetary gods. Some of these descriptions are consistent with the unleashing of literal thunderbolts, as in the destruction of the tower of Babel and the later destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah In the Greek myth of the wars of ...
296. Kinetic Theory, Gravity, and Critical Fog [Journals] [Aeon]
... is in great disagreement with Richard Feynman, who insists that we know very little about atmospheric physics, atmospheric electricity and related subjects. In Volume II of The Feynman Lectures on Physics, pages 5-9, Feynman asserts the following, in refreshing contrast to the arrogant verbal swagger of technicians such as Bauer: "What is going on inside a thunderstorm? We shall describe this insofar as it is known. As we get into this marvelous phenomenon of real nature- instead of the idealized spheres of perfect conductors inside other spheres that we can solve so neatly- we discover that we don't know very much. Yet it is really quite exciting. Anyone who has ever been in a ...
... a fact that Velikovsky's case was persuasive enough to convince a good many critical readers, while an even larger number urged open-mindedness and a fair consideration of Velikovsky's unusual thesis. Analyzing ancient sources from around the world, Velikovsky noted a consistent story of interplanetary conflagrations. It seems that early man recalled the planetary gods as fearsome powers, armed with thunderbolts and missiles, whose battles threw the world into confusion. Velikovsky believed that these stories were based on memories of actual events, a time when the planets moved on erratic courses, waging battles in the sky and menacing our own planet. Near collisions disturbed the terrestrial axis, removed the Earth from its established path and produced worldwide catastrophes ...
... the four corners of the earth. In the presence of the heavenly family, He set this crown upon the head of Enoch, and called him "the little Lord." It bears also the letters by means of which heaven and earth were created, and seas and rivers, mountains and valleys, planets and constellations, lightning and thunder, snow and hail, storm and whirlwind- these and also all things needed in the world, and the mysteries of creation. Even the princes of the heavens, when they see Metatron, tremble before him, and prostrate themselves; his magnificence and majesty, the splendor and beauty radiating from him overwhelm them, even the wicked Samael ...

... object in the sky, peered out of the clouds - watching, and all seeing. The eye temples of 3rd millenium BC Tell Brak appear to reflect the same general theme, but in a novel manner, a sequence of eyes stretching into the distance (becoming smaller and smaller). The baleful single eye of Odin flashed - and thunderbolts came crashing down. The glance of one-eyed Irish Balor was capable of bringing destruction upon the human world. Bernard Newgrosh [1 ] mentions the Eye as a symbol of the great goddess, i.e . Hathor. The root of Balor comes from bhel, meaning to flash [2 ] and bhel-og = Bolgas or Gai Bolga ...
300. Part II: The Comet [Ragnarok] [Books]
... when mixed with three or four volumes of oxygen, or ten or twelve of air, it explodes with terrific violence. We shall see, hereafter, that many of the legends tell us that, as the comet approached the earth, that is, as it entered our atmosphere and combined with it, it gave forth world-appalling noises, thunders beyond all earthly thunders, roaring's, howling's, and hissing's, that shook the globe. If a comet did come, surrounded by volumes of carbureted hydrogen, or carbon combined with hydrogen, the moment it reached far enough into our atmosphere to supply it with the requisite amount of oxygen or atmospheric air, precisely such dreadful explosions would ...
