... his own theories which are at variance with those of the author, or he may have an urge to repay somebody for the time when he himself was at the stake. The particular case I am going to discuss was a page or two in The New Statesman and Nation; the reviewed author was I. As long as the reviewer thundered, "Are you a hoax or a crank?" I took it. I knew of some good companions, and I remembered reading how the members of my profession had accused Pasteur of charlatanry. Anyway, according to the prerogative given to the reviewer by the celestial court, I could not register a protest. When the reviewer ...
112. The Aquatic Graveyards. Ch.2 Revolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... the highest peak in Great Britain, 4 406 feet high. The stratum of the Old Red Sandstone is twice as thick. This formation presents the spectacle of an upheaval immobilized at a particular moment and petrified forever. Hugh Miller wrote: "The first scene in [Shakespeare's] The Tempest opens amid the confusion and turmoil of the hurricane-amid thunders and lightnings, the roar of the wind, the shouts of the seamen, the rattling of cordage, and the wild dash of the billows. The history of the period represented by the Old Red Sandstone seems, in what now forms the northern half of Scotland, to have opened in a similar manner. . . . The ...
113. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... domain of the gods by piling mountains on top of each other. The resulting tower however is smashed when Zeus strikes it with a thunderbolt. In the Norse myth, the giants attempt to reach Asgard by piling up a huge mound of clay, in the shape of a man. This tower is destroyed by Thor, the god of thunder, who strikes it with his hammer. That this is a universal tradition is apparent from mythologies on every continent. As an example, consider the following account from Mexico. After narrating the story of the Flood which brought to a close the first world age, Ixtilxochitl described the catastrophe which ended the second age or Ehecatonatiuh, the ...
114. Sun 13 July Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... ". The agenda included a survey of the known kosmos (the orderly arrangement of the inhabited world surrounded by regularly moving heavenly bodies); redefinitions of divinity; and theories of the natural processes, constantly in operation, by which both kosmos and divinity are to be understood. It also included explanations of phenomena most men deemed terrifying: thunder, lightning, earthquakes, eclipses, and periodic destruction of the kosmos itself. It set about to explain these phenomena in terms of the same elemental processes (transformations of water, rarefaction and condensation of air, separating out of fire, air, water and earth, periodic reabsorption of these elements into a state of dynamic equilibrium) ...
115. The Word According to Pam [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... tremendous bibliography) cites J.M . Allegro, who said, "The seed of God was the Word of God" and although Dwardu doesn't agree that this seed/word was fructifying rain, he believes that the philological connection - seed-word-logos is valid. Allegro said, "The most forceful spurting of this seed' is accompanied by thunder and the shrieking wind. This is the voice' of God. Somewhere above the sky a mighty penis reaches an orgasm that shakes the heaven. As saliva can be seen mixed with breath during forceful human speech, so the speaking' of the divine penis is accompanied by a powerful blast of wind, the holy, creative spirit ...

117. Natural Catastrophes During Bronze Age Civilisations [Journals] [Aeon]
... greatest problems, and this is the second prejudice that, according to Matthews, has to be purged, is that for the last two hundred years we have lived with a Newtonian mind-set in which the skies are considered to be safe because the cosmos is thought to function like clockwork. As Matthews said, children tend to be frightened by thunder and lightning, but once the mechanism of these phenomena is explained and understood, that fear tends to disappear despite the fact that one may still get zapped by a thunderbolt. Like previous and present catastrophists, Matthews, too, invokes worldwide myths of a great flood and a judgment day which seem to indicate that something colossal must have ...
118. Dragon-Slayers (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... . But the dragon-slayer myth is not restricted to Aryans; it is as world wide as the dragon myth itself. The Jews tell of Michael and Satan, the Babylonians of Marduk and Tiamat, the Egyptians of Ra and Apepi. The Algonkians tell of the Great Horned Serpent' which once in the past had a great struggle with the Thunder Birds'. Another striking, though much less frequently found, feature of the dragon-slaying myths is the fact that it is sometimes a descendant who kills his sire. Thus, to give two examples, Marduk kills his ancestress Tiāmat, and Chronos undoes his father Uranus. Translated into the language of this book, this means that later ...

' (12) At the brightness that was before him [the sudden change in the phase of the satellite when leaving the Earth's shadow] his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire' (meteoric material). (13) The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

120. The Lesser Light [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... for their sins. . . . [H ]e aroused the anger of men by his metamorphoses, so that they decided to kill him. For that end they arranged a festival during which Maire-Monan had to jump over three blazing bonfires. "He jumped the first but fainted above the second and was burned up. His bursting produced thunder, while the flames became lightning. Then he was carried up to heaven, where he became a star."3 A celestial scenario thus finds obscure expression in our history. Velikovsky contended that the planet Venus was cast from Jupiter and cited as one point of evidence the mythological account of the birth of the goddess Athene from the ...
