... Gabriel, whereas the Palestinian Haggadah prefers Michael (Ginzberg, VI, p. 362). What conclusions are we to draw? Clearly, we are not to jump to the conclusion that Patten et al. were correct in their unsupported assertion that Mars caused all the events from Sodom to Hezekiah. The archangels do seem to have been celestial bodies, and Michael and Gabriel were distinguished from the others. (Referring to the archangels as a type, Ginzberg writes, in Vol. V, p. 21: "Although they are incorporeal, they are not eternal, since there are angels who come into being for a moment only and vanish immediately after." But ...
632. Thoth Vol III, No. 18: Dec 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... an age of darkness, Saturn as supreme ruler of The Golden Age, Saturn's association with the beginning of time, Saturn as motionless, Saturn as the sun and Saturn as the sun of night. This section of the paper concluded with these phrases concerning another unusual behavior of Saturn: DWARDU CARDONA WROTE: Consider further the motions of the celestial object called Ra. In a statement found in one of the Coffin Texts, the deity is addressed with these words: You shall go up upon the great West side of the sky and go down upon the great East side of the earth. ' Is this not contrary to what the Sun does? Does the Sun go up ...
633. Venus. Supplement: Astronomy And Chronology Ch.3 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... of Egyptian antiquity do not show proper time in the latitudes in which they were found; water clocks are not functional either, though intact; the Babylonian and Egyptian inscriptions alike refer to a time when the longest day in the year was three times as long as the shortest day, a ratio which changed in various periods; the North Celestial Pole was once in the Great Bear, but since the eighth century the North Celestial Pole has been in the Little Bear-the change was sudden; the vernal and autumnal equinoxes were transferred once by 30.4 days and on another occasion by 9 days; the orientation of the temples in Greece, in Palestine (Shechem), in ...
634. "Waving The Red Flag". File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... similar "theories" and know that the reaction of the public is not professionally or financially undesirable. My chief interest now in your publication of the volume is just to see if the reaction is favorable- an experiment in the psychology of scientists and the public. Larrabee is probably too little to judge by, but from where I sit the celestial mechanics of Dr. Velikovsky is complete nonsense. Perhaps in the book he follows through some of the consequences that must result from the celestial manipulations he describes. If I remember correctly, several years ago (perhaps only three or four) Dr. Velikovsky, with an introduction from Horace Kallen, or some other acquaintance of mine, ...
635. Cosmic Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... public has long held, as an article of faith, that Isaac Newton discovered the laws of planetary movements and that Laplace (1749-1827) mathematically expressed their practically eternal stability [14]. Yet here I have suggested that the planetary movements are not so stable, nor have they been. Lately astronomers have begun to reconsider the dogma of celestial stability. Ransom and Milton have collected studies of instability in the skies [15]. In 1953, W. M. Smart, Professor of Glasgow University, wrote in his book, Celestial Mechanics, that the maximum time-interval over which stability calculations of the type presented by Laplace, Lagrange, and Poisson can be trusted is 300 ...
636. The Role of Collective Amnesia in Retarding the Acceptance of Correct Ideas in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... , natural history, and folklore; and I was aware that there is some "blocking", in the psychoanalytic sense, to see obvious things. Why have students of mythology failed to discover why the gods of the pantheons of all ancient races should have been identified with the planets? Why do the traditions of all races speak of celestial theomachy, of great natural perturbations, with the Sun, stars, and meteors taking part? Or, why do modern students of religion not wonder at the grandiose natural events described in the holy books and the concepts of eschatology so prominent in the Gospels and the Koran? Why do students of geology strain themselves to explain, or ...
637. Ambrosia, Part 1 Venus Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the border of Asia and Africa, the Hindus, the Finns, the Icelanders, all describe the honey-food being dropped from the clouds, dreary shades of the shadow of death, that enveloped the earth after a cosmic catastrophe. All traditions agree also that the source of the heavenly bread falling from the clouds with the morning dew was a celestial body. The Sibyl says that the sweet heavenly bread came from the starry heavens.(59) The planet-god Ukko, or Jupiter, is said to have been the source of the honey that dropped from the clouds.(60) Athena covered other planet-goddesses with a "robe ambrosial," and provided nectar and ambrosia to the ...
638. Epilogue (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... or their derivatives (carbides) would be discovered. Thermoluminescence dating of the lunar rocks would show the recentness of the last heating (melting) of the lunar surface. Frequent moonquakes would be detected. The Apollo landings soon confirmed all of these prognostications. The lunar findings evoked exclamations of surprise and led to some farfetched ad-hoc hypotheses. In celestial mechanics all new evidence has conjured against the concept- basic in science until very recently- that gravitation and inertia are the only forces in action in the celestial sphere. The new discoveries are the interplanetary magnetic field centered on the sun and rotating with it; the solar plasma; the terrestrial magneto-sphere; and the enormously powerful magnetic envelope around Jupiter ...
639. Gases, Poisons and Food [Books] [de Grazia books]
... new problems and possibilities - solar energy, weather control, incursions of hitherto unrecognized chemicals and particles, and even, say some, life forms contributing to evolution and diseases. A modern pragmatic preoccupation with the skies, it would appear, is now being laid on top of the age-old preoccupation with the forces and gods believed to dominate the celestial sphere. The gases that we discuss are mainly effective in the biosphere. We address not only their chemical qualities but their behavior in mixtures and their propulsion by winds. The poisons we discuss are cell destroying chemicals. The food consists of the rare occasion of the descent of digestible cell-building chemical compounds. Hydrocarbons are considered here as poisons ...
640. Human Sacrifice - Then and Now [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... on contemporaneous scarabs would suggest that these were sacrifices. This era was known as The Age of Sacrifice by the Hindus and similar practices were performed in China. This was also the time of the origin of a worldwide combat mythology, with gods defeating dragons and monsters. It seems to be an inescapable conclusion that sacrifice was inextricably associated with celestial deities and that, therefore, the Priest-kings were taking part in a sacred drama in which humans played the part of gods. Kingship was lowered from heaven' after catastrophes associated with a celestial body, the great serpent later known as Inanna/Ishtar. Worldwide myths place the invention of sacrifice and prayer after a destructive flood and archaeological ...
