... raging in the sky; 5) The role of the king as the warrior-son, born in the eye- heart-soul of the central luminary; 6) The role of the warrior-son in defeating or pacifying the raging serpent-dragon; 7) Assimilation of kingship rites to memories of sweeping cosmic catastrophe, involving the death or ordeal of a primeval, celestial king, whose rejuvenation was synchronous with the regeneration of nature following the catastrophe; 8) Symbolic assimilation of neighboring tribes to the chaos hordes or retinue of the serpent-dragon. These cosmological images, constituting a vast complex of kingship rites, are not present in the prior phases of human history. And the images do not answer to anything ...
752. Forum: Do the Early Middle Ages Survive Only as a Sacred Cow? C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... had settled on 21st December. Both days, both series of annual reference dates, were carried along for centuries. The Sherbourne Calendar of AD 1060 still mentions 21st March and 25th March [34, 35] which shows that both methods of calculation were used in parallel. It also shows that in the centuries after 325 no control by celestial observation could have been carried out, otherwise it would have been noticed that both dates were still not correct. As far as I know, the first to have noticed this discrepancy was Arib ben Sad al-Katib, who mentions various vernal reference dates shortly after AD 961 and indicates 16th March as day of the equinox [36]. ...
753. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... . Theoretically, gaseous material can circulate (orbit) around a planet at a distance as large as that of any remote satellite. There is a limit, however. At distances where the gravitational force of the planet cannot compete with that of the Sun, no satellite orbits are possible, and no material can stay. ROCHE LOBE In celestial mechanics, the region where the gravitation of a planet dominates over that of the Sun is known as the Roche lobe, sometimes called the Lagrangian lobe. The Roche lobe is drop-shaped, with its point directed towards the Sun. Inside the lobe, a satellite will generally follow a stable orbit, but if for some reason it is ...
754. Thoth Vol IV, No 10: June 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... brief comments here are for those familiar with the basic planetary forms of the polar configuration. The general motif involves these common elements, among others: 1) meandering, "drunken" or "crane" -dance of the hero; 2) winding path of the maze or labyrinth; 3) the cross or swastika, the central celestial source from which the sinuous "paths" arose; 4) "bowels" of the cavern entered by the hero; 5) swallowing of the hero by the chaos monster; 6) disheveled and "entangling" hair of the mother goddess in her threatening aspect; 7) winding or unwinding of intestines; 8) intricate windings ...
755. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... to Moses. He said to him: "When I revealed Myself to thee in the burning bush, thou didst not want to look upon Me; now thou are willing, but I am not." [293] THE THIRTEEN ATTRIBUTES OF GOD The cave in which Moses concealed himself while God passed in review before him with His celestial retinue, was the same in which Elijah lodged when God revealed Himself to him on Horeb. If there had been in it an opening even as tiny as a needle's point, both Moses and Elijah would have been consumed by the passing Divine light, [294] which was of an intensity so great that Moses, although quite ...
756. Metamorphic Evolution [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . suggest, then there is no scientific basis upon which to determine anything regarding the theoretical evolutionary change. In fact, the same argument might also be raised against Velikovsky's theory of Cataclysmic Evolution which posits even more rapid speciation than that offered by Gould and his associates. Nevertheless, Velikovsky did offer as a mechanism massive mutations brought on by celestial catastrophes that speeded up the rate of genetic change. But again, if most mutations are destructive or lethal, massive numbers of these mutations would also be destructive or lethal and hence there would be no change. The fundamental contradiction to evolution based on these theories appears overwhelming. What is clearly observed in the fossil record are species that ...
757. The Egyptian Prince Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of the original forms of the Hebrew-Phoenician alphabet and star constellations. The order of the letters of the alphabet, moreover, followed that of the star constellations, a correspondence the Greeks recognized, thus fixing the order for all time. As far as sacrifices to the gods are concerned, it would take someone with an intimate knowledge of the celestial scene to create an accurate religious calendar. We cannot overlook the fact, of course, that Hebrew writing begins with Moses and that he left with the Jewish people a calendar of religious events. Moses had outstanding ability in all these areas. Hermes is also said to have given thought to the rhythmical movement of the human body- ...
758. Catastrophes in the period 5th cent. BC to 14th cent. AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... plague late in the reign of David followed a comet appearing in the form of a sword above Jerusalem. Ancient Gods were often associated with plague - e.g . Apollo. The Babylonian Erra Epic, written after the end of the LB age, has plague as a recurrent feature, a companion of the god Nergal and associated with celestial phenomena. Plague pops up in British and Irish folktale and myth [10], the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh [11] and the Egyptian story of Sinuhe [12]. In Biblical chronology, at the end of the LB a plague struck Philistine cities. The Bible records another notable outbreak - the death of 185,000 ...

... omitted through the ages. In one moment the Whirlpool emerges as the bearer of the fire-sticks of Pramantha and Tezcatlipoca. But why should they be in the whirl? Myth has its own shorthand logic to relate those floating fire-sticks to the cosmic whirl. And that logic goes on tying together the basic themes, the bow and the arrow of celestial kingship, the bow and arrow aimed at (or ending in) Sirius, stella maris (compare appendix # 2 on Orendel). The singing and dancing of the stag is intricately involved with a proto-Pythagorean theme. And the theme appears full-fledged in still another tale from the Northwest. The Son of Woodpecker, before shooting his bow ...
760. An Alternative to the Ejection of Venus from Jupiter in Velikovsky's Catastrophic Theory of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... be required for Venus to escape from the present-day surface of Jupiter as would be required to shatter Venus entirely and scatter her parts to the corners of the Universe. One expulsion theory that does not seem to suffer from this last objection is the variant proposed by LYTTLETON in 1953 [2 ]. He argued that a contracting, rapidly rotating celestial body would become unstable and split into two parts, which would be flung apart at high speed and so escape each other. Droplets formed between the two main parts could form into satellites. Velikovsky has himself quoted Lyttleton in defence of his Venus-from-Jupiter theory [3 ], and it seems well worth closer consideration. Lyttleton's arguments concern self-gravitating ...
