... innumerable teats, or as Demeter or Persephone, it was depicted as a goddess of the underworld. VOLCANIC FERTILITY 81. I have spoken already of the volcano as the female element in the great scheme of the Cosmos, and we discover it as the receptive organ which conceives and brings forth, gives birth to various conglomerate rocks after contact ... the heavenly fires of the male gender, the meteor. An ascertained fact that cannot be denied is the fertility of a volcanic area. In spite of the dangers of eruptions peasants hasten to acquire land in the vicinity of volcanoes because of the extraordinary fertility of the soil. A case in point, illustrating the fertility of volcanic deposits, ...
192. Thoth Vol I, No. 26: November 15, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... overtook the world in ancestral times. So in the sweeping rites, we see the dust as an analog of this cloud- the chaos hordes- together with the symbolism of the female head of the house as "sweeper," a role defined by the mother goddess Toci herself, whose "broom" is a prominent feature in the commemorative rites ... was still there at the time of the Conquest. Of course, the recollection of the cosmic night appears in more dramatic forms when an UNUSUAL occurrence of darkness breaks the normal pattern. Consider Sahagun's description of the people's response to an eclipse- Then there were a tumult and disorder. All were disquieted, unnerved, frightened. Then there was ...

... apparently showed that if the toads were maintained in water for several generations, the males developed horny patches on the hands with which to grip the slippery wet skin of the female during copulation; further, these horny patches were then inherited by subsequent generations. However, these findings could not be confirmed by others, so they fell into disrepute ... 1920 with P. Kammerer's observations of the terrestrial midwife toad (Alytes obstetricans). He apparently showed that if the toads were maintained in water for several generations, the males developed horny patches on the hands with which to grip the slippery wet skin of the female during copulation; further, these horny patches were then inherited by subsequent generations ...
... indirectly with the fourteenth. This material has here been collected into the fifteenth myth. This eidolon-like `myth in a myth' tells us of the experiences ofone of the female refugees from the lower-lying areas which were set under water by the spreading girdle-tide. While the tribe was hard set to by the fiery and watery chaos (4 ) ... In the confusion of the flight the mother was separated from her offspring. The precious newly-born, whose sex is doubly stressed in the Greek text (a son, a male child), was taken to the heights (5c) where he was absolutely safe. The mother, however, was forced to flee from one foundering refuge to ...

... as a son." [n10 Mbh. 3.45-46. Urvashi, the goddess, "trembling with rage" condemned the hero to pass his time "among females unregarded, and as a dancer, and destitute of manhood and scorned as a eunuch." She raged the more, as she had, in anticipation, before ... "]. 296 At this point there is still another recurrence of the disheartening breakdown in communication between scholars. The Orientalists, taking the story of Gilgamesh as a "normal epic," search for traces of him in the physical landscape of the Near East, ignoring the work of equally learned scholars, experts in the heavens, whose ...
196. The Amarna Age - an Introduction [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the possibility exists of other tombs of this era in the same part of the valley. The funeral mask and various other items appear to have been first fashioned for a female, but then reused for a male at a later date. The woman in question might be Kiya, the second wife of Akhenaten (after Nefertiti). She ... again returns to the coregency issue - if there was a reasonably long coregency it could be Amenhotep 3, but if not perhaps Akhenaten, in his desperation to have a male heir, was the father himself. Had Akhenaten become desperate to have a male heir and so was attempting this with all women with a claim to royalty? The ...

... of their species. Among mammals, most males exhibit aversion toward conspecific males of groups other than their own, but acceptance of males from their in-group. And, among females, receptivity to males, even during the mating season, is highly unpredictable. Hierarchy and territoriality further complicate the behavior of both mammalian sexes, eliciting belligerent responses when ... in the behavior of animals. There is no animal species whose members are consistently amiable (or consistently hostile) toward other members of their species. Among mammals, most males exhibit aversion toward conspecific males of groups other than their own, but acceptance of males from their in-group. And, among females, receptivity to males, even during ...

His wife Elisheva began studying sculpture at the university under the direction of Oronzio Maldarelli; and daughter Shulamith became the only female graduate student in a class of fifty prospective nuclear physicists.

Some six months into his Ages in Chaos ... a guide to action, is abrupt and dramatic, usually occurring as a moment of insight, a brief period of realization of relationships and opportunities. The reformulation also seems normally to occur in its initial form in the mind of a single individual. (21) In mid-April, at his fifth-floor apartment at 5 Riverside Drive, Velikovsky was ...
200. Towards a New Evolutionary Synthesis [Books]
... a different chromosome. Then, because of chromosome mixing during sexual reproduction, the mutation could spread quickly through a population, far more quickly than a mutation could spread by normal Mendelian inheritance. Furthermore, the spread of the mutation through the population would be by an internal mechanism, and thus owe nothing to natural selection. Although still a ... a Darwinian explanation. Take the case of the midwife toad, for instance, which normally breeds on land, and which developed inheritable horny patches on the hands (of males) to aid copulation when bred in water. This was an atavistic feature, being present in other species of toads, and presumably ancestral midwife toads. The success ...
