... material and obey one set of laws of motion and that objects in the heavens are composed of an entirely different sort of material and obey an entirely different set of laws of motion. Furthermore, objects in the terrestrial realm are subject to all sorts of changes - such as coming-into-being and passing-away, or generation and corruption- whereas in the celestial realm nothing ever changes: the heavenly bodies move along forever in perfect circles on perfect spheres, with perfectly uniform speeds. By their very nature, substance, and laws of motion, the unchanging heavens are completely divorced from the terrestrial world of change and corruption. The precise and uniform speeds and geometrically perfect paths make it possible to ...
732. The Stones Of Ballochroy [Journals] [Kronos]
... "point" to the astronomic occurrences that make of them such exact observational indicators. MacKie's deductions, however, rest on three very crucial conditions: 1)That these astronomic alignments are, in fact, as genuine as he and Thom assume them to be; 2) That the present alignments can only be made to fit the present celestial order; 3)That the monuments themselves were, in fact, erected prior to the catastrophes of the 8th and 7th centuries B.C . To be fair to MacKie I must here point out that he himself has already taken these considerations into account. My aim, here and elsewhere,(3 ) is to re-examine them ...
733. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... generally known as the Phaeton story. Key points from the Phaeton story are that Phaeton was scared by the Scorpion, struck by Zeus (or Jupiter, or Horus) and fell into Eridanus (or, was last seen in Eridanus). All of these points are deducible from the Senmut ceiling. That the Egyptians saw Phaeton as a celestial bull, rather than a near-human charioteer, seems to me to be neither here nor there. I first developed a fairly detailed analysis of the Senmut ceiling about 14 years ago, publishing it in SIS Review II:1 , pp. 10-18, under the heading of Senmut & Phaeton' (with some further supplementary notes' in ...

... Velikovsky, plus those works of his which were planned but never completed and, in some instances, not even ever written. .. Page 34 The Garden of Venus, by Ev Cochrane An essay which zeroes in on the cosmic events that lie behind the fertility cults associated with the goddess and planet Venus. The Double Axe and the Celestial Twins by Marinus van der Sluijs A study of the symbolism of the double axe, its relation to the cosmic twins, and the association of both to the so-called thunderbolts of the gods. page 59. Puritanism, Misogyny, and Female Sexuality, by E. J. Bond An analysis of the long-upheld subordination of women, stemming ...
735. On Decoding Hawkins' Stonehenge Decoded [Journals] [Pensee]
... sarsen monuments are 30 holes of a Y ring and 29 holes of Z ring and inside the ring of the monoliths there are 59 holes prepared for bluestones, from which those stones were removed) and many stones large and small, as well. Hawkins subjected all possible alignments to a computer test to seek out their possible significance in observing celestial bodies. "There are so many possible Stonehenge alignments- 27,060 between 165 positions- that one could be found to point to practically anything in the sky, and, vice versa, there are so many objects in the sky- perhaps literally an infinite number- that hardly any line extended from earth could fail to hit at least one" ...
736. Sagan vs. Sagan [Journals] [Kronos]
... orbit. Then he claims that the evidence of rock magnetization on Earth shows no such external field existed in recent geological time.(10) It is interesting to note that, here, Sagan accepts the idea itself as a respectable possibility. Yet, when Velikovsky first suggested that electromagnetic fields should not be excluded from playing a role in celestial mechanics, he was ridiculed by astronomers. Since then, electromagnetic fields have been "admitted" into astronomy; and only recently Jupiter's electromagnetic field was found by Voyager to be much stronger than expected, and definitely affecting its satellites (11) However, Sagan does not concede that this was one of Velikovsky's important scientific insights;( ...
737. The Primordial Light? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the demise of Saturn at the hands of Jupiter. The waters of the Flood were described by the mythographers as being salty. Thus, the tapir that cut down the Salt-water tree and caused the great Deluge (108). In the Hindu myth of the churning of the ocean (109), the first time the gods churned the celestial ocean, it ground out salt into the sea. We are indebted to Sieff for the following analysis of Hamlet's Mill:" . . . de Santillana and von Dechend collected together myths that were interpreted by them to show that Saturn was the first Lord of the Mill (see pp. 116 and 146). The Mill is ...
738. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... to destroy the world has not yet come, the commotion in nature is due to this that in God's hand is the soul of all living things and the spirit of all flesh, ' even the spirit of the man Moses, whose end is not at hand." God then bade them proclaim in heaven, and in all the celestial courts of justice, that they should not accept Moses' prayers, and that no angel was to carry Moses' prayer to Him, because Moses' doom of death had been sealed by Him. God quickly called before Him the Angel Akraziel, who is the celestial herald, and bade him proclaim the following in heaven: " ...
... with results of the most stupendous potentialities, but as our knowledge of the direction from which comets come, and this direction vis-a-vis the earth are unknown quantities in our present primitive understanding of the subject, we cannot dogmatise on that aspect. All evidences, on the other hand, of the arrival of meteoric bodies in our vision of the celestial sphere point to their invariable approach as from the direction of the sun, that is the north-east. If this be so, we may justly assume that the earth has been built up by cometary, or meteoric, contact, and that contact has always been established by bodies approaching us from the sun or northeast. It this be ...
740. A Celtic Destruction Myth: 'Togail Bruidne Da Derga' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... lives in Llys Don, which is the constellation Cassiopeia; Arianrhod dwells in Caer Arianrhod or Corona Borealis, and Gwydion's castle, Caer Gwydion, is the Milky Way. So the gods are seated in the sky, and therefore Bruiden Da Derga and the action of our tale, though given a local habitation in Ireland, belong to the celestial kingdom. Conaire himself can scarcely be a mere human. His parentage is extraordinary: his mother, Mess Buachalla, is a divine lady; his father is a bird. His conception came about in the following way. Mess Buachalla, while still a child, was given by the king to his cowherds to be destroyed, but ...
