... of time, to another world-age. It is time now to deal with the main line of events. The epic opens with a very poetical theory of the origin of the World. The virgin daughter of the air, Ilmatar, descends to the surface of the waters, where she remains floating for seven hundred years until Ukko, the Finnish Zeus, sends his bird to her. The bird makes its nest on the knees of Ilmatar and lays in it seven eggs, out of which the visible world comes. But this world remains empty and sterile until Vainamoinen is born of the virgin and the waters. Old since birth, he plays the role, as it were ...

3. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Navels [Books]
... Swedish, Askesis; in Shetland (Jamieson) Assiepet, Ashypet, Ashiepattle, in Norwegian, Askepot. But it by no means follows that a tale always hangs by these terms in these various tongues. Aschenprodel and Aschenpiissel are boys, just as Ivan is and so are Eschengriidel, Aschenbredel (Luther), Aschenbaltz, Aschenwedel and in Finnish he is Tukhame or Tukhimo (tukka = ashes). To return to the hearth itself. One of the plagues in the Mabinogion is a great cry which is heard on May-Night above every hearth in the isle of Britain, and which, piercing the hearts of men, turns them to palefaced weaklings, and deprives of their reason ...
4. Homer in the Baltic [Journals] [Aeon]
... fire. Its characteristics correspond exactly to those Homer handed down to us: The hilly area which dominates the valley with its two rivers, the plain which slopes down towards the coast, and the highlands in the background. It has even maintained its own name almost unchanged throughout all this time. Today, "Toija" is a peaceful Finnish village, unaware of its glorious and tragic past. Various trips to these places, from July 1992 onwards, have confirmed the extraordinary correspondence between the Iliad's descriptions and the area surrounding Toija. What is more, there we come across many significant traces of the Bronze Age. Incredibly, towards the sea we find a place called Aijala ...
5. Thundergods and Thunderbolts [Journals] [Aeon]
... Words formed with the god's name signified the weapons hurled from heaven. In Swedish lore, for example, thunderbolts were known as thorvigg or thorkil. [16] Figure 3 Adad/Hadad (Illustration by Tessa Rickards.) Figure 4 The thundering Zeus. (From a red-figured amphora.) Figure 5 Thor with his thundering hammer The Finnish god Ukko shares numerous features in common with Thor. He, too, produces the thunder and lightning while controlling the weather. [17] The word ukko, like its diminutive ukkonen, came to signify "thunder." [18] It has long been recognized that Thor finds a close parallel in the Lithuanian Perkunas/Latvian ...
... intention to dismiss the abundant legends and runes dealing with the wood of the Cross. Lack of time, however, does not allow for a proper investigation [n3 For a rich collection of material see F. Kampers, Mittelalterliche Sagen vom Paradiese und vom Hotze des Kreuzes Christi (1897).], and permits only some remarks on Finnish and Russian notions about the "Great Oak," which is the nearest "relative" of Sumerian trees. Says one of the Finnish runes: "Long oak, broad oak. What is the wood of its root? Gold is the wood of its root. The sky is the wood of the oak's summit. An enclosure ...

... in utter darkness in Avaiki," who migrated in a canoe named "Weary of Darkness" to find a land of light, and who, after many years of wandering, saw the sky clearing little by little and arrived at a region "where they could see each other clearly."(30) In the Kalevala, the Finnish epos which "dates back to an enormous antiquity,"(31) the time when the sun and moon disappeared from the sky, and dreaded shadows covered it, is described in these words: Even birds grew sick and perished, men and maidens, faint and famished, perished in the cold and darkness, from the absence ...
8. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... bad, considering that the events of Odyssey take place during the sailing season. On the other hand, clues for the Anatolian location of Troy are very thin: the traditional location is affected by many oddities' (e .g . the locations of the Trojans' allies). Compare this with the huge amount of evidence for the Finnish Troy. Strabo himself was well aware of the absurdities connected with the location of the Anatolian Troy. Homeric geography is really problematic for contemporary scholars. Scholars cannot explain the Mycenaean' remains in the Wessex culture, or the similarity between Kivik's grave and Mediterranean ones; both the Mycenaeans' seafaring skill and their northern architecture fit a northern ...
9. The Subjective Interpretation Of The Events And Their Authenticity, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... princes in their strategy, or to settle a quarrel among them. The Greek people tho ught the phenomenon was an expression of heavenly wrath at the crime of the Argive tyrants. The Latins thought the phenomenon was an omen associated with Romulus, son of Mars. In the Icelandic epos the same event has a different purpose, in the Finnish e pos another, and yet others in Japan and Mexico and Polynesia. The American Indians say that the sun went backwards several degrees for fear of a boy who tried to snare it or because of some animal that terrified it. Precisely because there are great dif ferences in the subjective evaluation of the causes or purposes of the phenomenon ...
10. Falls of Blood from Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... into catastrophic contact with the Earth:(1 ) the Manuscript Quiche of the Maya, the so-called Papyrus Ipuwer from Egypt and the Book of Exodus all record the fact that the water in the rivers was turned into "blood". In addition to these examples, Dr Velikovsky refers to the Greek myth of Zeus and Typhon, the Finnish epic Kalevala and the lore of the Altai Tartars. However, a more exhaustive survey of such legends would include the Sumerian myth of Inanna (a Venus goddess) who filled the wells of Sumer with "blood",(2 ) the Egyptian story of the goddess Hathor (also Venus) whose visits to Earth were associated with ...
11. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... referred to the more modern, one volume translation by Francis Peabody Magoun Jr, published by Harvard University Press in 1963. The Kalevala is a collection of 50 poems or runes, and in what follows, for example, K.45 will mean rune 45 of the Kalevala. On WIC p.61, V writes: "The Finnish epos of Kalevala describes how, in the days of the cosmic upheaval, the world was sprinkled with red milk." V here refers to 1.9 . However, the K does not associate this red milk with any cosmic upheaval' whatever. On the contrary, the red milk- not to mention black milk and white ...
12. The Red World, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... coloured red. In one Egyptian myth the bloody hue of the world is ascribed to the blood of Osiris, the mortally wounded planet god; in another myth it is the blood of Seth or Apopi; in the Babylonian myth the world was coloured red by the blood of the slain Tiamat, the heavenly monster.(7 ) The Finnish epos of Kalevala describes how, in the days of the cosmic upheaval, the world was sprinkled with red milk.(8 ) The Altai Tartars tell of a catastrophe when "blood turns the whole world red," and a world conflagration follows.(9 ) The Orphic hymns refer to the time when the heavenly vault, ...

... to many deer and other animals."(67) The Atharva-Veda hymns say that honey-lash came down from fire and wind; ambrosia fell, and streams of honey flowed upon the earth. "The broad earth shall milk for us precious honey . . . shall pour out milk for us in rich streams."(68) The Finnish tradition narrates that land and water were covered successively by black, red, and white milk. The first and second were the colours of the substances, ashes and "blood," that constituted the plagues (Exodus 7 and 9); the last one was the colour of ambrosia that turned into nectar on land and water. ...
14. Nineth Impact Crater Identified in Finland [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... is situated 29 degrees E and 62 degrees N. Named Paasselka (Paasselkä). The crater is about 10 km in diameter and fairly round. Its age has not been determined yet but its wear out makes it look older than Lappajarvi (77m years). Because there are 172 confirmed impact craters on Earth thus far found, the Finnish craters are about 5% of all known craters on Earth. Given that the area of Finland is only 0.07% of the Earth's surface, Finland is highly overrepresented when it comes to crater counts. Timo Niroma, Helsinki, Finland. ...

... fields and with persons and groups with similar aims; and iii) the publicafion of AIfa, the Group's journal. The most popular study area so far has been parapsychology; another concerns itself with Velikovsky's cosmological theory. A "theme-issue" of Alfa dealing exclusively with Velikovsky is planned for later this year: although the journal is published in Finnish, this issue will include at least one paper in English, considering megalithic sites and ancient calendars in relation to Velikovsky's hypothesis. KRONOS, A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis, c /o Prof. Warner Sizemore, Glassboro State College, Glassboro N.J . 08028. "The only journal of its kind: Devoted to the study ...
16. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a little beside the point; at any rate, while refusing to see Venus (or Jupiter) implicated, the Editor grants that "some large comet", passing close to the Earth, might have caused the havoc related in legends. We arc gathering specialist reactions, and hope to report more fully later. (All material in Finnish except Merritt.) KRONOS, A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis, c/o Prof. Warner Sizemore, Glassboro State College, Glassboro, New Jersey 08028, U.S .A . 1 year (4 issues): $10.00; overscas $18.00 (airmail).

17. Frozen mammoths et al. [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... unable to obtain this source on short notice I was able to get a copy of a review of this book. Interestingly, at the end of the review (by S. David Webb from the Florida Museum of Natural History) is the following quote. "At the end of the Blue Babe project, the latter two (two Finnish palaeontologists) enjoyed a bison stew in Fairbanks, despite its strong Pleistocene aroma. '" ...
18. Myths of the Great Fire (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... sect of great antiquity, tells of three total destructions of the human race, by fire and water, a single pair alone surviving in each case. In the Babylonian Gilgamesh poem, the fire-rain which preceded the Great Flood is also mentioned. Its constituents are called the Anunaki, who rush through the heavens with their torches uplifted. In Finnish poems we are told that Fire, the child of the Sun (the Tertiary satellite is meant), came down from heaven. There it had been rocked in a tub of yellow copper and kept in a large pail of gold (various aspects of the disintegrating satellite). The Voguls, nomadic in the Northern Urals, tell ...

20. Mythology and Repression [Journals] [SIS Review]
... due to simple diffusion of tales rather than to common observance of catastrophic events. While there may well be a connection between the Greek and Egyptian myths of the falls of blood from the castrated gods Ouranos and Re, I defy anyone to attempt to explain how such a tale could have been transformed by diffusion into, for instance, the Finnish story of the third Daughter of Creation, who, strolling on the clouds, dripped red milk from her breasts onto the Earth: "Milk on land, and milk on marshes, Milk upon the peaceful waters." (2 ) (Incidentally, the Finns seem to have appreciated the connection with ferralitic soils: "Where the ...
... There is strong circumstantial evidence of this bow and arrow in Mexico also: the bow of the Chichimeca, the Dog-people.]. And since the name Ishtar is shared by both Venus and Sirius, one may guess who "stirs up the apsu before Ea." And here is what the "fire" accomplished, according to a Finnish rune of origin [n12 K. Krohn, Magische Ursprungsrunen der Finnen (1924), pp. 115ff. See also F. Ohrt, The Spark in tbe Water (1926), pp. 3f.], after it had been "cradled. . . over there on the navel of the sky, on the peak ...

... seventh heaven, consequently it is the pole of the Universe." (An echo of the ancient tradition will be found in the words of the prophet Isaiah, who locates the throne of El in the farthest reaches of the north.) Amongst Finno Ugric peoples, the supreme ruler of the sky is Ukko. As stated in the Finnish Kalevala the seat of Ukko was at the Pole. And this assertion, according to the prominent chronicler Uno Holmberrg, was part of a pervasive tradition of the creator-king seated atop the world pole. A remarkable counterpart is provided by the Ashanti of Ghana, who remembered the old sun god as "the dynamic center of the Universe, ...
23. Tiahuanaco and the Delug [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Jima, the Indian Manu, the Maya Coxcox, the Colombian Bochica, the Algonkin'S Nanabozu, the Crows' Coyote, the Greek Deukabon and Pyrrha, the Chinese Noah Kuen, and the Polynesian Tangaloa. It is evident there was a world-wide deluge 12,000 years ago. Global doomsdays are conspicuous in the Hopi Indian legends, the Finnish Kalevala epic, the Mayan Chilam Balam and Popol Vuh, and in the Aztec calendar, the last of which predicts that our present civilization will be destroyed by "nahuatl olin" or "earth movement," that is, devastation by earthquake. Due to Aztec cyclic theory this will become the fifth doomsday after the "death of ...
... Titanic powers (in Rydberg's thoughtful reconstruction) are the three brothers, Thjassi/Volund, Orvandil/Eigil, and Slagfin: the Maker, the Archer, and the Musician. This finally locates Orvandil the Archer, the father of Amlethus. He is one of the three "sons of Ivalde," just as their counterparts in the Finnish epic are the "sons of Kaleva." [n11 Strange to say, the three brothers, Volund, Eigil and Slagfin, are called "synir Finnakonungs," i.e ., "sons of a Finnish king" (J . Grimm, TM, p. 380)], And Ivalde, like Kaleva, ...
... as I can send my whistle. Let no sapling here be growing, Let no blade of grass be standing, Never while the earth endureth, 30 Or the golden moon is shining, Here in Kalervo's son's forest, Here upon the good man's clearing." [n6 The Esthonian Kalevipoeg (= son of Kaleva, the same as Finnish Kalevanpoika) makes the soil barren wherever he has plowed with his wooden plow (Setala, FUF 7, p. 215), but he, too, fells trees with noise- as far as the stroke of his axe is heard, the trees fall down (p . 103). As for Celtic tradition, one of the ...
