... ." In addition, the classical Am stars 68 Tau (HD 27962) and 15 Vul (HD 189849) seem to be "weakly magnetic stars".(19) On page 73 Didelon list 3 Am stars with possible magnetic fields of -400, -580, and -230 gauss. All this evidence relates to the fact that the celestial bodies with the strongest magnetic fields- the Ap stars, pulsars, and white dwarfs- also tend to be strongly single or have distant partners when in binary systems. This pattern of high magnetism with singularity is not discussed by Ellenberger. To deal with this phenomenon, he would have to deal with the theory on its own terms ...
502. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... values when one has knowledge of their true nature and their continued usage will only continue the deception - a deception of which the original purpose was solely to disguise the true nature of the first eight Postdiluvian Patriarchs and to conceal the actual date of Noah's deluge. Only one God was to be worshipped, i.e . Yahweh. No Celestial or Planetary worship was to be allowed and likewise no Ancestor worship was to be allowed. The elite few who could read the symbols understood the scheme but the profane masses could not. Not one of the periods referred to above is literal. All were value symbols having their own individual specialised interpretations within a complex symbolical language - a ...
503. Father Kugler's Falling Star [Journals] [Kronos]
... a careful reading that, in examining both the star-battle and especially the parallel passage, Kugler will take one reading whilst catastrophists (and the ancient Greeks) will take another. (Kugler, of course, identifies the "new nature" as the rebirth of Spring, and calls in the position of the stars as evidence that the "celestial fire" merely signifies the "truly fiery heat during the day" of Ethiopia's hot season, which begins at the end of the period of the narrative.) IV The Fall of Phaethon In dealing with the Phaethon story, Kugler is willing to adopt a quite different attitude. Heading this part of the study "The Naturalistic Premise ...
504. In Defense Of The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... very paper that I submitted at the same conference he submitted his, I presented a few snippets of myth which specifically place the Saturnian deity and planet in the north of heaven. [14] In his own published work, Talbott has supplied even more evidence. [15] Besides, had Rose himself really not come across the north celestial placement of Saturn in ancient records, why would he have gone out of his way in attempting to explain how this situation arose? [16] Rather than ad hominem attacks- which he so much hates when it comes from others- in accusing us of stealing his words, field, and subject-matter, should he not instead do ...
505. Jupiter -- God of Abraham (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the night had been on Abram's side. In fact, Josephus was of the opinion that Abram's success was due to his having attacked at night when the enemy lay asleep and/or intoxicated.(102) Ancient sources, however, go further for it is also stated that: "[ Abram's] victory was possible only because the celestial powers espoused his side. The planet Jupiter made the night bright for him..."(103) This is the third time that Jewish legend connects Jupiter with the life of Abram and it further cements our conviction that this planet was at the root of the terrestrial and celestial irregularities reported to have been taking place during his ...
506. Forum: The 900-700 BC era - a Conundrum C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by Geoffrey Gammon's reckoning in SISR II, 3, p. 94, but Gammon's dates probably merit moving back by a few years - see article Shishak, the Kings of Judah and some synchronisms', C&CR 1997:2 , pp. 27- 36). Both Baal and the Aten look to have been easily recognisable celestial bodies; their identity is particularly favoured by Lewis Greenberg's observation [2 ] that Egyptian depictions of the Aten show it as having rays' but that these rays' only ever emanate from one side of the disc - i.e . they were more probably a cometary tail than orthodox rays' (in which case, Baal would ...
507. Zeus And Athene, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... protagonist of the drama: he leaves his place in the sky, rushes to battle Typhon, and strikes him with thunderbolts. But other legends and historical sources, too, which I have quoted on previous pages, indicate that it was the planet Venus, or Pallas Athene of the Greeks. Athene killed her father, Typhon-Pallas, the celestial monster, and the description of this battle is not different from that of the battle in which Zeus killed Typhon. Under the weight of many arguments, I came to the conclusion- about which I no longer have any doubt- that it was the planet Venus, at the time still a comet, that caused the catastrophe of ...
508. Aristotle And Amnesia. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... run merely cyclical. There is no genuine transition, evolution, or novelty in the terrestrial realm. In the heavens there are fifty-five nested spheres concentric with Earth. These invisible and mathematically perfect spheres are unchangeable and impenetrable; the only "activity" that they are allowed is that of rotation (no other change whatsoever is permitted in the celestial realm). Aristotle assigns an "intelligence" or guardian angel to each of the fifty-five celestial spheres to keep it moving at an absolutely uniform rate throughout eternity. The poles of each sphere are attached to and carried around by the sphere outside it, in such a way that rather complicated patterns of motion can be reduced to combinations ...
509. How Much Did They Know? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... longer star-gazers. The city lights blind us to the glories of the heavens, and neither laymen nor professional astronomers look at the sky in the same way as the naked-eye astronomers of long ago: we are more interested in quasars and pulsars and space probes than in solstices and equinoxes and the pattern of movement of the planetary wanderers across the celestial sphere. And on the other hand, myth is very much a dead language to us. Wisdom is no longer transmitted by means of sacred stories, and has not been for centuries - so we are unfamiliar with the themes, and would not naturally seek for truth in them even if we knew them. So against this discouraging ...
510. Velikovsky, Mars, and the Eighth Century B.C. Part Two [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. XII No. 1 (Winter 1987) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky, Mars, and the Eighth Century B.C . Part Two Sean Mewhinney 776 B.C . II. THE "SHIH CHING" ECLIPSE According to Velikovsky: "The text of the ancient Chinese book of Shiking refers to some celestial phenomenon in the days of the king Yen-Yang, in -776: the sun was obscured."(1 ) And what was the nature of this "celestial phenomenon"? Is the planet Mars mentioned in connection with it? Velikovsky did not cite the original work itself. He gave as his references two eighteenth century works by Jesuit ...
