... association of both the Venus god and the chief rain god with the Eastern direction.(59) 1. Insofar as the cross, or the circled cross, may be related to Venus and to the Lamat-Venus glyph, it would also seem to be associated with the color red. The Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, conceptualized as the "celestial dragon", but also transfigured in the guise of Ehecatl, the Wind God, is additionally to be equated in specifiable contexts with the Morning Star or the planet Venus. Quetzalcoatl's most significant item of attire is his red buccal mask, serving alone to represent him in the Aztec system of hieroglyphic writing.(60) The rain god ...
442. Sagan On The Run [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to correspond with him in the future on these points of interest. Standing in line were some twenty or thirty people in front of us, and a perhaps equal or greater number behind. All of us had our purchased copies in hand, waiting for an autograph. Between the two of us, we had purchased a copy of The Dragons of Eden and, somewhat ironically, a copy of Broca's Brain. As people milled about somewhat and we got closer to the table, Dr. Sagan caught a glimpse of me in line. He looked up, his eyes met mine and widened. I smiled politely and nodded, then looked away as seemed proper. Immediately I ...
443. The Great Flood -- the Myth in Genesis [Books]
... Kabyles of Morocco tell of the giant Ferraun, etc. The Kootenay Indians of British Columbia say that the blood flood was caused by a fish' having been killed. Incidentally, quite a number of myths tell that the deluge was brought on by the death, or the killing of a cosmic monster, which is generally personified as a dragon' or a serpent', or some other being which is supposed to control the waters, a fish, a crab, a crocodile, or even a mouse (Note 69). As regards the special type of negative deluge myths' which report the disappearance of the' sea', we must keep in mind that their ...
444. The Origin of Mankind [Books]
... ancestors of the nine Lithuanian clans. Yet another kind of myth which is related to this group is told by the Caribs, the aboriginal population of the Antilles. Their arch-ancestor, they say, sowed the soil with stones which grew into men and women. And, similarly, Greek mythology tells of Cadmus that after the conquest of a dragon which had killed all his companions he gathered its teeth and sowed them. Thereupon a crop of armed men grew up who called themselves Sparti, or the Sown Ones. They started a fight (Note 23) from which only five emerged alive, who became the ancestors of the Thebans. In Onoatoa, one of the Gilbert Islands ...

446. Heracles and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... many of which have remained unexplained through the years. True, we have only presented an outline of the theory, and many questions have yet to be addressed. The mythology of the hero, needless to say, has many fascinating components, from the harrowing of hell, the rescue of the damsel in distress, the slaying of the dragon, the fall from grace, etc.- all of which are crucial to his character. Yet a truly comprehensive theory of the hero can illuminate each and every one of these episodes, and it will be our purpose in this series of essays to demonstrate that all are inexplicable apart from the hero's identification with the planet Mars. ...
447. Quantalism And Prehistory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... I prefer for this zoographic enigma, as pondered by two generations of catastrophists, is that the awesome snakes of prehistory-often hair-covered and fire-breathing-were seen not on the ground but in the sky. For the sky was the television screen of antiquity, anxiously scanned for evidence of sudden or impending change. And these celestial snakes, often called serpents or dragons, were presumably comets or other tailed bodies, some of planetary size. HEAVEN AND HELL Of the mythic environments known from the earliest writings, those which have persisted longest are the ones that accord best with surviving religious beliefs. Among these are heaven, hell, and such intermediate states as limbo and purgatory. From a quantalist point ...
448. Confessions Of A Philosophical Velikovskian [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of Marduk and Tiamat, the Egyptian tales of Isis and Seth, the Indian accounts of Vishnu or Krishna and the serpent and the Persian myths about Ormuzd and Ahriman, are very similar one to another, and have many features in common with the Greek legend of the battle between Zeus and Typhon.25 The Israelite God smites down the dragon Rahab; and the `crooked serpent' figures in pictures from Egypt, Assyria, Persia, India, and Mexico.26 If Velikovsky's scenario were on the right lines, the existence of such stories would be a matter of course; but they are very surprising, especially considering the similarities between them, on conventional uniformitarian views. ...
449. Sagan's Pseudo-sagacity: Style As A Reflection Of Character (Or The Lack Thereof) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the leading professional journal devoted to planetary research. In addition to 400 published scientific and popular articles, Dr. Sagan is the author, co-author or editor of more than a dozen books, including Intelligent Life in the Universe < < but not, apparently, in the Astronomy Department at Cornell University > > ,the Cosmic Connection, The Dragons of Eden, Murmurs of Earth and Broca's Brain. In 1975 he received the Joseph Priestley Award "for distinguished contributions to the welfare of mankind," and in 1978 the Pulitzer Prize for literature. The Pulitzer Prize for literature. America's foremost literary award. In a world that makes very little sense, awarding Dr. Sagan a ...
450. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 38:33) Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?" (38:32) (What was the periodicity of Mars flybys?) In chapters 40 and 41, the kinds of damage and scenery that Mars made in its ancient flybys are also the kinds of damage and scenery that are described by the two ravaging celestial dragons, namely Behemoth (ch. 40) and Leviathan (ch 41). Like Sammael, they also stood for archetypes of Mars. Such is the profound cosmology found in the Book of Job about the Mars-Earth Wars. The Sodom-Gomorrah Catastrophe March 20-21, 1889 B.C . The Old Testament dates the Sodom-Gomorrah event as being on ...
