... the 29-day Lunar Circle, and back, as indicated by the crossed arrows. Because of the fractional values of the solar year and the lunar month, intercalations and slight adjustments, as determined by visual observation, will have to be made periodically with the markers to keep the "hands" of the calendar in accurate synchronization with these two celestial bodies. At Stonehenge, the month of the year is determined by noting the azimuth of sunrise and whether the Sun is moving North or South. Figure 1. Setting the Sun and Moon Markers The 19-Year Cycle The two markers eventually will come into conjunction (be radially aligned) on the Heelstone and quarter axes at four specific times ...
562. Bel and Dragons [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... basis that Vortigern is dated to the 5th century AD, contemporary with the Saxon conquest. The pool represented the world, the story continues and the tent was the kingdom of Vortigern. According to Tolstoy the tent was the firmament because the sky was conceived as a huge cosmic tent, with the stars rents in its surface, which admitted celestial light. The idea of two serpents inside the tent, or domed vault of the sky, fighting, is interesting. The pool, or world lake, the celestial sea over which God warred with the Devil or St. George grappled with the Dragon, seems pertinent. Mythological parallels are legion - a goddess on a white mare ...
563. The Birth of Venus from Jupiter [Journals] [Kronos]
... , I suggested that "precise calculations should be made to the effect of the magnetic field permeating the solar system on the motion of the planet [Jupiter] which is surrounded by a magnetosphere [emitting radiation] of an intensity presumably 10" times that of the terrestrial magnetosphere. This is basic to the impending re-evaluation of electromagnetic effects in celestial mechanics." Jupiter Noises In April 1964, Dr. A. G. Smith announced that the decametric radio signals coming from Jupiter, from certain delineated areas, were retarded by 1.3 seconds, which was interpreted as a rotational slowing down of the giant planet itself, against all the rules of celestial mechanics. The energy ...
564. The Hero's Garment [Journals] [Aeon]
... from heaven. "His body is often in human form, carrying a torch in each hand." [52] As if to confirm the stellar origin of the image, the thunder dog is at times "dotted with spots to represent stars." [53] This certainly does not make any sense if no connection with a celestial body is allowed. "The Bakairi Indians of Central Brazil allege that, in the early days of the world, the Lord of Fire was the animal which naturalists call Canis vetulus." [54] The Tinguian people of the Philippines believed that Kadaklan, the thunder god, "lived in a tree with his dog Kimat, ...
565. Velikovsky: Hero or Heretic? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... they had been "stung by a hornet from outer space". A prominent American astronomer said: "If Dr Velikovsky is right, the rest of us are crazy." [1 ] Another scientist compared Dr Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision to Grimm's Fairy Tales. Although Dr Velikovsky's theories led to interesting predictions regarding Venus, Jupiter and other celestial bodies, some of which were verified by NASA spacecraft, the scientific community remained unimpressed. Isaac Asimov dismissed the winning forecasts as "Velikovsky's lucky hits" and added: "Any set of nonsense syllables placed in random order will make words now and then." [2 ] This was one of the kindest comments on Dr Velikovsky's ...
566. On the Possibility of Instantaneous Shifts of the Poles [Journals] [Aeon]
... the new axis of rotation. As a consequence the reaction torque would decrease, until completely spent after a while. We do not know forces capable of making the Earth rotate around an axis different from the main, for a time long enough to complete such a process. But we do know that the planet is periodically hit by large celestial bodies at high speed, which develop an impulsive torque, that can have a very high peak value, as high as the highest reaction torque possibly developed by Earth (see following paragraph and relative calculus). Graphics of fig.2 and fig.4 , can help us to understand what happens in this case. As soon ...
567. Planets In Dreams And Anxiety. Ch.6 Dreams And Hallucinations (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... now in another". The movement, and especially irregular movement, of the planets in dreams is connected with unconscious terror: Hippocrates' observation and interpretation are based on a deep insight. But why should great anxiety find its expression in dreams, a product of the subconscious mind, by making planets wander in the sky, if the celestial bodies have always moved on regular courses, never threatening our planet and its inhabitants? To illustrate Hippocrates' description of a fearful dream, with planetary bodies leaving their paths, I present here a dream narrated to me by a professor of history at a Midwestern university when, on the occasion of a lecture I gave there a few ...
568. The Heavenly Host [Books] [de Grazia books]
... whose geography - that was once worked upon by the gods - belatedly and usually mistakenly accredits the heavenly host via a largely invented name. All of these processes of naming are consistent with and dependent upon the primordial appearances of the gods. The saints of several Christian churches are a form of minor divinity, who are deemed to have performed celestial miracles, given great social services, communed with the Lord, or served gloriously in battle. Saint Joan of Arc comes readily to mind. Periods of natural and social crisis are their favored setting. The Hindus, who do not draw scholastic distinctions so fine, have created divinities of the same order. Thus the villages of West ...
569. Calendrical Changes And Sothic Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... of the Middle Kingdom apparently had fewer days" (Cf. pp. 123, 336, 338).(1 ) The cataclysm that brought the downfall of the Middle Kingdom (ca. -1450) also brought a year of different length; and for the next half-century it was not yet firmly established when a new disruption of the celestial order took place. Then, for the major part of the time till the end of the first quarter of the eighth century, a calendar of 360 days, of twelve months of thirty days, was observed in the Old as well as in the New World. But after -776, at fifteen-year intervals, more disruptions of the ...
570. Thoth Vol III, No. 13: Oct 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... - European languages. Virtually ALL are related, but in many cases the relationships will not be evident to the experts because these experts remain unaware of the archetype around which entire complexes of meanings arose. The source of the archetype was in the sky, but it is not there now, and the experts have not even suspected that a celestial reference might have existed- once- which could unify the picture completely. So they search about "down here," wrestling with concepts that cannot (on their own, in the absence of the celestial reference) be reconciled. They do not believe that "cataSTRophe" has anything to do with "STaR" because it is known ...
