... science. For example, if the geographical poles changed their location, or the axis its inclination, the ancient solar clock would not show the correct time; or, if the magnetic poles became reversed at some time in the past, the lava of earlier volcanic activity must show reversed magnetic orientation. But there is also a check by folklore. Isaiah foretold to King Hezekiah, probably a few hours before the event, that the shadow of the sundial would return ten degrees. (As we know now, the planet Mars was at that moment very close to the earth, and Isa iah could make an estimate based on experiences during previous perturbations of the earth by Mars ...
12. "The Seasons Alter": Catastrophism in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Continued) [Journals] [Kronos]
... and storms, altered poles, deep clouds, flaming skies, and bloody rain. He is understood to be a celestial figure, the son of Mars, who returned to the stars at his death. Romulus thus has a double personality. His public Roman personna, whitewashed to provide comfort, is that of the paternal founder. His folkloric personna, chronicled by Livy, Plutarch, and Ovid, is that of natural violence, nature uncontrolled and on a destructive rampage. If Theseus is paired with Romulus, then he too must carry about him the public personna of order and the repressed folkloric personna of elementary planetary destruction.(35) There are other celestial overtones. ...

VISSER Verhandelingen der Koninklijke Akademie van Wetense to Amsterdam AFDELING LETTERKUNE NIEUWE REEKS DEEL XIII No. 2 Amsterdam Johannes Muller PREFACE. The student of Chinese and Japanese religion and folklore soon discovers the mighty influence of Indian thought upon the Far-Eastern mind. Buddhism introduced a great number of Indian, not, especially Buddhist, conceptions and legends, clad in a Buddhist garb, into the eastern countries, in China. Taoisrn was ready to gratefully take up these foreign elements which in many respects reseualded its own ideas or ...
14. Earth In Upheaval. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Earth In Upheaval WHEN Worlds in Collision was published, numerous scientists repeatedly claimed that events of such magnitude and at such comparatively recent dates must have left vestiges not only in folklore, but even more so in geology and archaeology.(1 ) Actually in the Epilogue to Worlds in Collision I wrote: "Geological, paleontologi-cal and anthropological material related to the problem of cosmic catastrophes is vast and may give a complete picture of past events no less than historical material." My new book, Earth in Upheaval, published in 1955, was a collection of this material, where I ...
15. The MacCecht and Cuchulainn [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... May Eve (and Lady Godiva)and the idea of night-mare being a comet of the night such as the MacCecht. In the Song of Songs the female (goddess) is not just black and beautiful but she is also described as a mare. An Islamic source records Al Borak, a milk white steed (white light) of folklore, each of whose strides were equal to the furthest range of human vision. In Britain, horses have been cut into the turf of hillsides, their outlines defined by the white chalk subsoil. They are known as White Horse hills and their origins, it is thought, lie in the Celtic period. In Current Archaeology (Spring ...
16. The Night of the Gods Vol II [Books]
... norumque choros, which are to be understood of the dance of the signs or constellations. Hyginus too (cap. xxii) : Ple'tades existimentur choream ducere stellis, which is like the Zoroastrians calling the Great Bear the leader of the stars in the North. And Horace (Odes, iv, 14) Pletadutn choro scindente nubes. The folklore about the sun dancing on Easter morning may well be a garbling of this idea. The word churns seems originally to have meant a round dance, Hesychius making xopo, equivalent to KV'KXos.i Tibullus, again, (ii, 1, ?33) makes the stars dance after their mother Night Jam Nox jungit equos, currumque ...

... reversed their order of distance from the Sun in historical times? (Yes, if you are listening to Prof. Robert W. Bass, celestial mechanician.) Do the megalithic monuments in the United Kingdom bespeak catastrophes or uniformitarianism? (More research is needed, says Scotland's Dr. Euan MacKie.) Do the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations and folklore show evidence of Velikovskian catastrophes? (The case is good, claims Dr. William Mullen.) "Catastrophism has in recent years emerged as an interesting and respectable alternative to theories based on a uniformitarian viewpoint of planetary history. While we do not necessarily subscribe to the Velikovsky reconstruction of events in the Solar System within historic times, ...
