11. Jupiter God of Abraham (Part IV) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , would have had many an experience with thunderstorms. He would have witnessed lightning striking trees, perhaps causing forest fires, and other mishaps. It would not have been unusual, as it is not now, to have thunderbolts demolish buildings. - But entire cities? One can understand why the North American Indians of the eastern woodlands deified thunder and anthropomorphized the phenomenon as Heng, the big vigorous youngster of the thunderbolt.(268) But in the mythologies of other races we also see the thunderbolt wielded as a weapon by the planetary gods. Were the ancients trying to tell us that thunderbolts did in fact emanate from the planets? The answer is that they were and ...

12. Origins of the Red Dragon Symbol? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... for the various uses of the Welsh word draig'. Amongst them are common uses of the word, which today is generally taken just to mean a dragon', but in times past it has also been used to refer to: Mellt Distaw' - (sheet lightning), and also Mellt Didaranau' - (lightning unaccompanied by thunder). According to this authoritative dictionary the most interesting common usage of the word draig' in earlier times was to refer to: Maen Mellt' - the word used to describe a meteorite'. And this makes perfect sense, as the Welsh word maen' translates as stone', while the Welsh word mellt' translates as ...

A mighty whirlwind kept breaking out, and a comet was seen, sending out a great trail to the east, which to human eyes looked as if it was three cubits long. 838. The winter was wet and windy, and on 21 January thunder was heard, just as on 18 February loud thunder could be heard. And the excessive heat of the sun scorched the earth, and there were earthquakes in some parts of the land, and fire in the shape of a dragon was seen in the air. In that year a wicked heresy arose. In the same year a ...

... without doubt, it is a portion of the almighty power."1 Brahma, an earthly king, was at first frightened by the terrible spectacle in the air, and then claimed that he had produced it himself ! "They were engaged in this conversation when that vara, or boar-form, ' suddenly uttered a sound like the loudest thunder, and the echo reverberated and shook all the quarters of the universe." This is the same terrible noise which, as I have already shown, would necessarily result from the carbureted hydrogen of the comet exploding in our atmosphere. The legend continues: "But still, under this dreadful awe of heaven, a certain wonderful divine ...

... of thunder-a wheel which when turned launches forth thunderbolts. So long as the wheel is identified with the Sun alone, the combination of the thunderbolt and the wheel remains inexplicable ; but the hypothesis that the Wheel-god is the Polar deity makes plain even the cryptic passage in St. Augustine" where he says of Varro's Sabine god Summanus that night thunder was attributed to him, while the thunder of the daytime was jove's. As the Roman sceptic put it, Coelo tonantem credidimus Jovem ; while the believers said, as Varro has it3 Tune repente coelitum altum tonitribus templum tonescit. Festus, as if to settle the matter' informs us (pp. 348, 349) that the ...

... and lift old foundations. We find an old light-giver pass and a new one born as his successor, because an old heaven is succeeded by a new one. An old heaven is banished, a time-measuring heaven takes the throne, and the hours are born. Then again these old Pelasgic records tell us that Zeus, the rain-maker and thunderer, as the son of Kronos, was born after the old heaven passed away. Now it does not require very deep thinking to see that rains and tempests and thunder could not occur prominently during the existence of a vapor heaven, but must have conic as apart of the new order, when the new heaven and the new sun ...

... conflict the darkening and light-conquering vapors fought the sun forces. After a long struggle, Belus, the spirit of the sun, ended the war by slaying the spirit of the deep by thrusting a thunderbolt into its mouth. This we know to have been a celestial fight, for Belus and his cohorts were in heaven. His arm of thunder was there and the dragon and the deep were there, too. And the canopy chain gains another golden link. The great serpent, Thalath, brings to our view another legend, where Belus and the deep, or the sun and the dragon, figure in no uncertain attitude. Here the abyss is represented by its personified genius ...
