... , carbon, and silica. South Wales, from Pembroke to the Severn at least, was renowned as the realm of Pluto. A writer as late as the time of Elizabeth said that "the centre of the kingdom (of Hades) was the Dark Gate of Carmarthen".2 This "Dark Gate", one of the traditional entrances into Hades, has been identified with Carmarthen Van, an extinct volcano from whence rises the turbulent Twrch, and it lies near Lampeter, and the ancient road skirting the Van is named Sam Hellen. Pembrokeshire was formerly named Dyved, and earlier yet Demetia, after Demeter, another of the names of the goddess of Hades. ...
512. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Vol.3 No.2 page 35, Mrs Kluitman writes that I "insist that always and everywhere the stark reality of the written record (has been) truly interpreted in an historical sense'". In my letter in Vol.2 No.3 page 8, my intention was to show that the Church has held a traditional regard for the literal i.e . true historical meaning of the Scriptures as opposed to any "fundamentalist" or "allegorical" interpretation. I had not intended to suggest that the Church, or anyone else for that matter, had necessarily succeeded in discovering what the true historical sense was, but only that the Church holds the ...
513. Stonehenge: Neolithic Man and the Cosmos, by John North [Journals] [SIS Review]
... escarpment. Along the top of the Downs is the Ridgeway long distance path, an ancient route running from Avebury in the west to the Goring Gap and the Chiltern Hills in the east. On top of the Downs, above the White Horse, is the Uffington Castle earthwork, and not far away, Waylands Smithy long barrow. In tradition the hill figure was scoured once every seven years, a number that might indicate a connection with the Pleiades, the cluster of stars known as the seven sisters (and see Moe Mandelkehr in C&C Review 2002:2 for the significance of the Pleiades and their role in mythology and worldwide festivals involving fire and light phenomena) ...
... when everybody wishes to adore him as the highest god, which he is. Nor is he known particularly as an "avenger." He was delegated from higher quarters to free the earth-"overburdened" as it was with Asura- as he had done time and again in his former avatars. Krishna belongs here, however, because Indian tradition has preserved the consciousness of the cosmic frame, and it is this alone that gives meaning to the incidence of war and the notion of crime and punishment as they appear in myth. 82 It is useful to keep philosophy and mythology carefully separate, and yet the many gods and heroes who avenge their fathers- beginning with "Horus-the-avenger-of-his-father" ...
515. The Case of the Turkish Turn Coat [Journals] [Kronos]
... to Christianity in the fifteenth century as an alternative to expulsion from Spain but who continued to practice their ancient rites in secret. A century later, Jacob Frank (c . 1726-1791), the son of a rabbi who was defrocked for his Sabbatianism, revived the movement in an especially radical form. He incorporated sexual practices and denied the traditional opposition between good and evil. Instead, he advocated the "holiness" of participation in all forms of behavior as a liberating device. The Frankist movement culminated in a mass conversion of his followers to the "Catholic" faith in 1759 and their adoption into the Polish nobility. The ruse was soon discovered, however, and Frank ...

517. Can Psychoanalysis be a Science? An Introduction to Velikovsky [Journals] [Horus]
... end to life on Earth. To make matters worse, Velikovsky stressed a common element in myths and legends from around the world - that the source of such great calamities lay in the heavens. In Worlds in Collision he pointed to a common ancestral theme, gleaned from ancient writings, myths, legends, rituals, astronomical records and other traditions, that the planet Venus had once been the cause of a great cosmic catastrophe. The traditions also seemed to implicate Mars in a series of disasters some centuries later. From details in the ancient sources Velikovsky pieced together a general description of the events and of their implications not only for our understanding of human history but the history of ...

... that length suggests that there must be a number of good apples, to paraphrase some of the early critics, amongst the bad. And this suggests a methodological defect on Velikovsky's part in Worlds in Collision. He observes in his preface(5 ) that In a few cases it is impossible to say with certainty whether a record or a tradition refers to one or another catastrophe that took place through the ages; it is also probable that in some traditions various elements from different ages are fused together. In the final analysis, however, it is not so essential to segregate definitively the records of single world catastrophes. The evidence for the catastrophes which Velikovsky extracts from his sources ...
520. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation [Journals] [Aeon]
... homes for over three millennia. As the hearthstones surround the cooking fire and establish the center for the home, so the three stone thrones of Creation centered the cosmos and allowed the sky to be lifted from the Primordial Sea." [8 ] This Three-Stone Place is, of course, the Maya equivalent of the World Mountain of other traditions. I also think it reasonable to speculate that the "three" in "Three-Stone Place" relates to the three planets in the Saturnian configuration as hypothesized by David Talbott and Ev Cochrane (and described by Dwardu Cardona). [9 ] At other times the three-stone-pile is pictured on the back of the Earth Turtle swimming in the ...
