' [14] Would anyone viewing the planet Venus in its current manifestations ever be moved to describe it in such terms?

... come down to him (one and twenty centuries ago) through all mythological time. He fully recognised that both myths belonged to the same spot, but there he stopped. 11 For on one side arose Skulla's sheer wall of cliff, and on the other Charubdis did spout and roar unceasingly; while in another place the wandering' Rocks thundered at the buffet of the mighty waves, there where in front of them a blazing flame vomited from the top of the crags, high o'er a redhot rock."12 Here we must see the central Universe fire. The numerous rocky promontories or places called Scylla, Scylleum, in Greece and Italic, the three Irish Skellig islands ...

... 32km down to about 2km altitude, with discharges as frequent as an amazing 25 per second. The highest recorded rate on Earth is 1.4 /sec during a severe blizzard. The Pioneer lander recorded 1000 radio impulses. Thirty-two minutes after landing, Venera 11 detected a very loud (82 decibel) noise which was believed to be thunder. Garry Hunt suggested at the time that:'... the Venusians may well be glowing from the nearly continuous discharges of those frequent lightning strokes'. A mysterious glow' was detected coming from the surface at a height of 16km by 2 Pioneer probes as they descended on the night hemisphere. The glow increased on descent ...
95. When Venus Was A Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... , you are lent wings by the storm . . . you fly about the nation-(lines 17 & 18). At the sound of you the lands bow down-(line 20). Propelled on your own wings you peck away at the land-(line 27). With a roaring storm you roar; with Thunder you continually thunder- (lines 29 & 30)." It is difficult to reconcile such statements with the current peaceful movements of the planet Venus, and yet it must be said that such imagery is hardly peculiar to the Exaltation. Consider the following passage from a hymn cited by Jacobsen: "She was making heaven tremble, ...

... 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 ...
... 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 ...

... 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.

But the dragon and "makara" were not merely complex manifestations of the group of ideas connected with the "air of life " the whirlwind. The dragon was a "thunderer".

Something had fallen, something which created a great commotion and with it a "Voice from heaven" - thunder. We are told that the "command had gone forth" from the Lord, and the ruin of the dwellers on earth had been accomplished "because they had learnt all the secrets of the angels and all the violence of the Satans, and all their powers-the most secret ones-and all the power of those who practise sorcery and witchcraft ...
