... only for transporting there the "sinful dirt"). He had been sent there to get "counsel" from Susanowo (who identified him at the first glance as: "This is the Kami Ugly-Male-of-the-Reed-Plains") he eventually got it, and added to it the precious life-preserving sword which Susanowo had found in the tail of the Eight-Forked dragon, and the "bow-and-arrows," and his Orphic Sky-speaking lute, not to forget Princess-Forward. A complicated affair. But the Great-Land-Master undeniably plays a Jupiter role against Susanowo's Mars, the more so, as his beloved Princess-Forward turns out to be extremely jealous. Now, after this Far Eastern interlude, Samson's own tragedy can be seen ...
412. Aster and Disaster: The Golden Age - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... in vertebrates more advanced than newts then occurred among mammals as well, including the human kind. Certainly the folk-memory of aureal times as "an age of miracles" suggests this possibility. A further possibility is suggested by the shadowy existence of lines of force on the Earth's surface known in England as "leys" and in China as "dragon paths".(51) The fact that such lines are credited by psychics and dowsers but dismissed by most other observers may indicate that they are residual in nature, surviving only as faint bioenergetic echoes of what were once palpably pulsating meridians. If so, it may be that, in aureal times, any creature in need of ...
413. Paired Sets in the Hebrew Alphabet [Journals] [Aeon]
... . It is paired here with the fourteenth letter nun, "fish," the numerical value of which is 50. "The meaning nun, a fish, ' is said to be late Hebrew, but in Genesis 1:21 we find tannin, a sea monster, ' and so throughout the Old Testament for serpent, ' dragon, ' or mythological monster; Aramaic nun, a fish'; Assyrian nunu. Also associated with nun, a fish, '; nun, nin, propagate, ' increase'; nin, offspring, ' posterity'." (32) Langenscheidt's Hebrew-English dictionary has nun, "to sprout," "spread," ...
414. The Dresden Codex and Velikovsky's Catastrophe Dates [Journals] [SIS Review]
... catastrophic in its results. Earthquakes, enormous tidal waves, fires, and devastating vulcanism ravaged the earth. Thereafter, at 52-year intervals, this near approach was repeated with less awesome devastation, but was impressive enough for various peoples to give such names to Venus as "Blazing Star", "Serpent", "Lucifer", "Dragon", and the like, and to refer to it as a fiery, angry god who had to be propitiated by human sacrifice to prevent total destruction of the world. The Maya continued these sacrifices for two thousand years, well into the period when Venus was a harmless morning and evening star. Velikovsky dates this great "Venus ...
415. SIS Study Group June 1995 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... : some give 30,000 BC, some 20,000 BC. Many authorities believe people did not arrive before 10,000 BC. One of the main problems is that civilisation seems to have begun fully formed in about 1500 BC, without evolutionary development. Some say that it came from China, pointing out the similarity of the dragon motif. We would of course give a Velikovskian interpretation. Bob Porter wondered whether South America could have been the source but Benny said this was not thought to be so. Commenting on the universality of the serpent symbol, Trevor wondered how the serpent could have been there from the beginning if it was supposed to have caused destruction. ...
416. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time Part One - Of Apes and Men [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dinosaurs feature among a huge collection of ceramics excavated from Acambaro in southern Mexico. In the Supai Canyon of Arizona not far from the Grand Canyon an ancient Indian pictograph shows a dinosaur standing on its hind legs and balanced by its tail. Another pictograph, near Granby, Colorado, shows two dinosaurs and an elephant [27]. Reptile-like dragons' are mentioned in myths from all over the world. One of the oldest literary works, the Book of Job, speaks of the animals behemoth' and leviathan'. The behemoth was an omnivorous animal whose bones were like tubes of bronze and whose tail swayed like a cedar - certainly no mere hippopotamus - while the leviathan was ...
... of a great catastrophe of peculiar nature, and a report of its world-wide consequences. The twenty-third myth had darkly intimated that with the cataclysm of the former satellite the series of cosmic dangers for our earth and its inhabitants was by no mean exhausted. Among terrific seismic and volcanic phenomena (Rev. xx. 3 and 10) the `Dragon, Old [= primeval] Serpent, Devil, or Satan' (Rev. xx. 2) had found its end. Now, after a certain lengthy spell of time (` a thousand years', in the parlance of Rev. xx. 2), the earth quaked again and the fiery mountains awoke to new ...
418. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... truth, it reflects shame upon Moses and the sixty myriads of Jews that they had not given thanks to God for the release from Egypt, until Jethro came and did so. He said: "Praised be God who delivered Moses and Aaron, as well as the whole nation of Israel, from the bondage of Pharaoh, that great dragon, and of the Egyptians. Truly, great is the Lord before all gods, for whereas formerly not a single slave succeeded in escaping from Egypt, He led sixty myriads out of Egypt. There is no god whom I had not, at some time in my life, worshipped, but not I must admit that none is ...

... time when the sky looked more turbulent and alive than it does today. Extreme auroral events prevailed, likely caused by a disturbance of the geomagnetic field and an excessive influx of cometary debris that also precipitated an enhanced zodiacal light. The spectacular lively shapes caused by the instabilities in the plasma were remembered by the ancients as gods, ancestors or dragons, whose mysterious deeds in the celestial world constituted the destruction and creation of worlds. This is the thrust of a fresh approach to world mythology that has gained increasing momentum for some time and has recently been powerfully reinforced by experiments conducted in plasma laboratories. Plasma mythology: For more than 200 years modern' mythologists have been trying to ...
... the meaning, Atlantis was destroyed 900 years ago. All in all, Sagan's arguments are without substance. His attempt to explain the immense destruction in the ancient East wrought by the volcanic eruption of Thera is lamentable. Sagan's glaring mistakes bring to mind what NJ. Mackintosh wrote in Nature, for April 27, 1978 about Sagan's, The Dragons of Eden, pp. 768-769. Mackintosh remarks that Sagan's book is, "profoundly unscientific" and goes on to say, "It is inaccurate, full of fanciful and un-illuminating analogies, infuriatingly unsystematic and skims hither and yon over the surface of the subject, unerringly concentrating on the superficial and misleading." I conclude that Sagan's ...
