... The Greek "Aphrodite" had traits of an original moon goddess and had many alternative names in many cultures; furthermore she later become confused with Venus, the goddess, and also the planet Venus, which had its scores of god-names too [5 ]. Jupiter was himself but partly Saturn too; the Chinese "Saturn" was a thunderer who announced time by great noises, whereas the Greek "Saturn" gave time and was called Kronos (Chronos) and the Greek "Jupiter" was especially Zeus, the Lightning-hurler, who was also called the Thunderer. The Calendar is but a rough path chopped through the dense thicket of early history. THE NUMBER OF CATASTROPHES Plato ...
52. The Hail of Stones, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... only meteorites, not a hail of ice.(2 ) In the Scriptures it is said that these stones fell "mingled with fire" (Exodus 9:24), the meaning of which I shall discuss in the following section, and that their fall was accompanied by "loud noises" (kolot), rendered as "thunderings," a translation which is only figurative, and not literally correct, because the word for "thunder" is raam, which is not used here. The fall of meteorites is accompanied by crashes or explosion-like noises, and in this case they were so "mighty," that, according to the Scriptural narrative, the people ...
53. Odin [Journals] [Kronos]
... In more than one of my previous writings, I have stressed the point that just because a deity is presented in mythology as a wielder of the thunderbolt, he is not necessarily to be identified as Jupiter. Granted that Jupiter seems to have been the prime wielder of thunderbolts,(9 ) other planetary deities were also vigorous in their thunderings. In an earlier paper I have shown that the attributes, characteristics, and mythology of Shiva properly fit the planet Saturn and not Jupiter.(10) Velikovsky's identification of Odin/Woden as Jupiter cannot, therefore, be accepted merely on the evidence of the thunderbolt. To the Romans, Mercury was the god of trade. ...
54. The Last Days of Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... care of by Elisheva, Velikovsky's wife - might be somewhat disturbing, at least, useless. Also, I must confess that I myself had something to tell to Velikovsky which I suspected would make him very excited and might deflect his attention from what Alfred had to say. To use a mythological expression, I didn't want to still his thunder. Because as projects went with Velikovsky, Alfred's was a fairly big thunder. I remember feeling a little twinge of regret as I turned around to walk back home. Velikovsky had not written, or at least published, anything major for some years. He had advice from all sides to publish rather than to engage in polemics; ...
... He says: "All individual beings were represented as proceeding from the essence of the universal deity by a mystical gencrutien, which is described under various types. Sometimes Jupiter is feigned to he both male and female, and is said to produce all things from himself. "Jupiter is the first, Jupiter the last, the ruler of thunder; Jupiter is the head and the middle; all things are produced of Jove. Jupiter is a male; Jupiter is an immortal nymph. ' "Hence the epithet, so often given to Jupiter, masculo-feminine. Tla, doctrine distinguished by this epithet is represented, by Damascius, as the fundamental principle of the Orphic philosophy. ...
56. "The Seasons Alter": Catastrophism in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Continued) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Velikovsky with the catastrophic near-collisions of Earth, Mars, and Venus in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C .E ., at which time Rome was founded.(34) As such, Romulus is associated not with civilized and natural stability, but with frightening celestial displays, planetary disturbance, solar eclipses, plague, earthquakes, thunder, blasts and storms, altered poles, deep clouds, flaming skies, and bloody rain. He is understood to be a celestial figure, the son of Mars, who returned to the stars at his death. Romulus thus has a double personality. His public Roman personna, whitewashed to provide comfort, is that of the paternal ...
57. Gods and Giants (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... did with his. With the birth of Zeus the cosmic battle entered upon a new stage. The phalanxes of the fighters had sundered. Here the Olympian gods leagued with a number of Titans, such as Okeanos, the girdle-tide, and with Cyclopes (the Round Eyed Ones'), such as Steropes, lightning, and Brontes, thunder. Their headquarters were in heaven. The siding of some of the earlier race with their nephews is quite natural. The other side consisted of the massed forces of the giants, Titans, and other enemies of the gods and of man. The Earth is in their hands and they want to scale heaven. But though they pile ...

... office, or profession. A robe was a gown, or vestment .. . during which solemn ceremonies might take place, sometimes of a strong religious significance. However, a link between deity and robes is not all that is implied as Germanic rauba is also the root of to rob and, variously, robber and to reave. Thunder The English word thunder' is believed to derive from the Anglo Saxon god Thunor and is etymologically akin to Celtic Tanaris, variously Taranis and Scandinavian Thor. A link may exist with Taur-us (the bull of heaven), and torre and even with Troy. According to Stephen Pollington (who runs a correspondence course on the basics of ...
... (xiv. 1) And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. (2 ) And I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard a voice of harpers harping with their harps. (3 ) And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song, but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. ...
60. Planetary Identities: I, The Concept of Deity [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... before I am again told that my idea of primitive man' is the astronomically adept Assyro-Babylonian culture', allow me to shift the scene to the Congo basin in the heart of Africa. Would Boyles consider the Efe pygmies of the Ituri forest primitive enough? 2. The Star of Nine Moons These pygmies do not cower in fear of thunder and lightning. Their lives are not ruled, or terrorised, by a squadron of jungle spirits that have to be appeased every time a calamity hits their community. On the contrary, they believe in a supreme deity who, despite his innumerable divine appellations [16], is commonly referred to simply as Father [17]. ...
