... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Venus Becomes The Morning Star Since the latter part of the eighth century before the present era, Venus has followed an orbit between Mercury and earth, which it has maintained ever since. It became the Morning and Evening Star. Seen from the earth, it is never removed more than 48 degrees (when at its eastern and western elongation) or three hours and a few minutes east or west of the sun. The dreaded comet became a tame planet. It has the most nearly circular orbit among the planets. The end of the terror which Venus kept alive for eight centuries ...
182. Sothis and the Morning Star in the Pyramid Texts [Journals] [Aeon]
... would thus appear to be a dearth of references in the Pyramid Texts to any phenomena- celestial or terrestrial- that might logically be related to the star Sirius. Other evidence from within the Pyramid Texts, moreover, is inconsistent with the conventional explanation of Spd.t . For example, if Spd.t was Sirius and Neter Dw3 Venus, as per the conventional opinion, how do we account for the fact that these two celestial bodies are consistently described as cooperating together in some act? Witness the following passage: "I ascend to the sky among the Imperishable Stars, my sister is Sothis, my guide is the Morning Star, and they grasp my hand at ...

... carbon and hydrogen gases in the tail of the comet, while the manna upon which the Israelites fed is similarly accounted for as carbohydrates from the same source. This comet is supposed to have collided with Mars... and, as the result of the collision, to have lost its tail and to have become transformed into the planet Venus... Further catastrophes... ensued... Mars was shifted nearer to the earth so that in the year 687 B.C .. .. Mars nearly collided with the earth. These various encounters are supposed to have been responsible for repeated changes in the earth's orbit, in the inclination of its axis, ...
184. The Changed Calendar: Evidence for a Neat Year of 365 Days [Journals] [SIS Review]
... other days are to be no-work days and others are to be forever work days. The rules relating to the continuing observance of the Sabbath are integral to these instructions. These rules are the second set of Sabbath rules; the first were in honour of the creation but these second rules were as a memorial of the Passover and thus have Venus implications. The instructions are not obvious as they stand in the Bible but require scheduling to be fully appreciated. Once that scheduling is done the beauty and simplicity of the instructions become apparent and, for our intentions, most illuminating. We must be aware and appreciate that these instructions must have worked successfully. Quite often in the Bible ...
185. Abraham and Phallicism [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... been two different, already old, ways of trying to relate to the heavens after Saturn's loss of the column which appeared to have reached from Earth to Saturn. The heavens needed to be assuaged in Abraham's day because of the obvious danger from above which was to culminate in Sodom's destruction. I lean towards the arguments of those who believe Venus was the agent of Sodom's destruction and the source of the sulphur which rained from heaven. Background There are myths which have the phallus as part of the drama. In an Egyptian story [2 ], Osiris, identified as Saturn [3 ], was torn into fourteen pieces by the avenging Seth who dropped the pieces into the ...
186. The Circularisation of Planetary Orbits [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (Summer 1974), now updated and republished in Kronos I:3 (Autumn 1975) and 11:2 (November 1976), has persuaded them to take a new look at Velikovsky's theories. The question of how the planets could have relaxed into their present almost circular orbits in the space of only a few thousand years since Venus' postulated flirtations with the other planets seemed the great dynamical stumbling block for Velikovsky, short of some Act of God. To take an example from a similar sort of situation, there was a very interesting article in the February 1976 Scientific American, entitled: "Is Gravity Getting Weaker?", by T. C. Van ...
187. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... are entering uncharted territory. And if the excursion has any sane and rational justification, then the ground-rules for study of the past are radically changed. The key is to follow the anomaly. For example: perhaps you begin to notice that a variety of mythical themes all point to an anomalous conclusion about the past- say, the planet Venus' former cometary identity (first discerned by Velikovsky). You begin to wonder if Venus' recurring identity as soul-star, hair star, bearded star, serpent-dragon, torch of heaven, feathered serpent, bearded serpent, hairy serpent, fiery serpent, etc.- all acknowledged pre-astronomical glyphs of the comet- might actually be explained by ...
188. Phoebus Apollo - Aspect of Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 3 (Dec 1981) Home | Issue Contents Phoebus Apollo - Aspect of Venus Elizabeth Gaudry It is possible to reconcile the various answers given to this question in SISW 4:1 , p. 22, by calling Apollo "Lord of the Zodiac" which signifies a position rather than a particular deity. Before this can be done, however, it must be pointed out that J. Abery does not complete her quotation from Robert Graves which should continue: ", .. . Typhon, the Greek God Set". Set, of course, is Saturn who was defeated by Zeus rather than by Apollo. We know that ...
189. Comparing Magnetic Fields: Neptune and Uranus [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... required for the Coriolis force to dominate the momentum balance, a trait of a rapidly rotating planet and, thus, generate a magnetic field. (3 ) If this is the case for a slow-spinning planet with little molten iron, like Mercury, a large, slow-spinning planet with more molten iron should also generate a planetary magnetic field. Venus is such a planet. Furthermore, if slowly spinning Mercury can produce a magnetic field, Mars, which has twice the mass of Mercury, and which is known to have produced recent volcanic outpourings of lava indicative of a molten core, should also generate a planetary magnetic field even stronger than that of Mercury. Nevertheless, Michael Zeilik ...
190. Epilogue (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... the same: Their findings were in accord with Velikovsky's concept of the recent history of the solar system, while the conventional views had to be revised, re-evaluated, or supported with ad-hoc explanations. The electromagnetism that astronomers disparaged in 1950 has come to be seen as playing a major role in cosmic processes. Youthful features have been found on Venus and Mars. Jupiter and Saturn have been found to be considerably more active than the cold, dead planets they were thought to be. Recent space data have led some astronomers to consider that Mercury, and the satellites of Saturn underwent major orbital changes. Repeated major faunal extinctions are now thought to have been caused by extraterrestrial impacts. ...
