... was on the sixth day that the Druids gathered the mistletoe, symbol of renewal, that was typified in the shoot. The "Annunciation" was on the sixth day. Manna was gathered on the six days, on the seventh there was none. On the Jewish Sabbath, the evening of the sixth day, the fruit of the Tree of Life and Knowledge might be plucked and eaten. The feminine manna was the Angels' Food. According to the primitive idea, sin or crime was an offense against the new moon. And in the legends of various lands the Moon was looked upon as an avenger of crimes, to whom the guilty must go for punishment. ...
72. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Five [Books]
... . Even a partial list of the objects that are featured in these metaphors make Lewis Carroll's "shoes and ships and sealing wax" look positively restricted in scope. There are fortresses sand potters' vessels; pits and traps; nets and mountain fires; wheels and crop stubble; the roaring of sea waves; dung and broken teeth; trees and smoke; arrows and ovens; fruit and melting wax; fountains and rivers; mud and trumpets; light and dark; butter and drunkards; razors and thorns; mountains and valleys; winds and storms; the clapping of hands and snake charmers; grass and dew; snow and ice. It is against this background, then ...
... its seven divisions, each assigned to the pious of a certain degree. The ocean is situated to the west, and it is dotted with islands upon islands, inhabited by many different peoples. Beyond it, in turn, are the boundless steppes full of serpents and scorpions, and destitute of every sort of vegetation, whether herbs or trees. To the north are the supplies of hell-fire, of snow, hail, smoke, ice, darkness, and windstorms, and in that vicinity sojourn all sorts of devils, demons, and malign spirits. Their dwelling-place is a great stretch of land, it would take five hundred years to traverse it. Beyond lies hell. ...

75. Radiocarbon Dating and Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... knows the basic principles of tree-ring dating (which are explained in Panel C): it's an old idea, first applied many years ago in the United States, in Arizona particularly, to date the Pueblo Indian villages, since there was no other way of dating them. It simply involves matching the patterns of annual growth rings in living trees with the patterns of rings in dead trees, noting the similarities and overlaps, and thus building up a sequence of yearly growths of wood as far back as one can go. Until about ten years ago the longest sequence available was from the Giant Redwoods of California, which took the continuous tree-ring sequence back to about two or three ...
... of a ring-system unless the causes that formed it were universal ? Can it be possible that the earth, under the influences of these universal causes, has not passed through the same mode of planetary evolution ? I can no more doubt the universality of this process, than I can doubt that an apple would fall from a Saturnian or Jovian tree; and when we see, that in addition to this necessarily universal annular development, the condition of the primitive earth demands such development, we are not even allowed to entertain a doubt upon the subject. If the laws of gravitation be universal, the causes of annular formation are also, and effects must follow. It may be ...

... , the summer land of fruits, the serpent, the fire from heaven, the expulsion, the waving sword, the "fall of man," the "darkness on the face of the deep," the age of toil and sweat, all, all, are literal facts. And could we but penetrate their meaning, the trees of life and knowledge and the apples of paradise probably represent likewise great and important facts or events in the history of our race. And with what slow steps did mankind struggle upward! In some favoured geographical centre they recovered the arts of metallurgy, the domestication of animals, and the alphabet. "All knowledge," says the ...

80. A Slice Through Time (dendrochronology and precision dating) by M. G. L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a writer of readable science, Stephen Jay Gould is probably the best of our day: he spins his narrative, argues his case, all the time entertaining and captivating the reader. On present form Mike Baillie is not so far behind Gould. I was particularly taken by Baillie's description of the fortuitous discovery of the Swan Carr chronology whose trees were recognised from a train window .. . but enough, lest I spoil the plot! The sequel to Tree Ring Dating and Archaeology [1 ], A Slice Through Time devotes the first chapter to a recapitulation of the main points of dendrochronological dating methods. Baillie makes no apologies for flitting through this ground work - and none ...
