... and Symbol, Geza Roheim's Gates of the Dream. Indeed the whole field of psychoanalytic anthropology and what is now called psychohistory legitimately might be called collective psychology. It is suggestive of a different approach than either of the two prior paradigms cited, because the bias within this school of thought is clearly intrapsychic in nature. Legends, myth, folklore, custom and behavior are interpreted, generally, as epiphenomena of basic psychoanalytic mechanisms operative today within us all. Bruno Bettleheim's work in fairy tales typifies this approach.(4 ) Hansel and Gretel represent two children faced with the task of growing up. Their own infantile "oral greed" is projected first upon their stepmother whose depriving ...

Equally Wr-alda = Alvader = the Allfather of the Norse legend, who is of course, Odin, whose wife was Frigg. - Ed.] Dragons .. .Dear Sir, Martin Sieff's article "The Dragon in Myth and Folklore" in WORKSHOP 3:4 , p. 6-12, is particularly interesting to me because some time after the publication of Mary Caine's THE GLASTONBURY ZODIAC I wrote to the SIS REVIEW commenting on the fact that, according to the builders of the zodiac, Draco was a "Loch Ness Monster". At this time my remarks were ...
313. The Origin and Decay of the Earth's Geomagnetic Field [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . A second will be discovered in 1989, flowing at perhaps 40,000 Rayleighs in brightness and 250,000 volts between Neptune and Triton. A third occurred spasmodically during the era of the Mars-Earth wars, every time Mars came within 125,000 miles. Vitrified sand is one area of evidence. Ancient history, legends, and folklore depicting dragon-like scenarios are another. Polarity reversals in lava outflows on Martian volcanoes are yet another area of evidence, perhaps never to be verified. Basaltic outflows on the Earth with polarity reversals are yet another area. Generally, the reason for the Earth's geomagnetic field were the ancient Mars flybys, about 170 of them. Specifically, the ...

... :2 , p. 26), that Schliemann discovered Troy in 1867 only by taking myths at face value, and that Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos had succeeded in solving problems in chronology by treating the Bible as an historical document whose accounts were not merely mythical and symbolic. Much of what the Mayan Indians had recorded was treated as mere folklore until, in modern times, it was discovered how wonderfully accurate their astronomy had been. Leins argues that there is much to be learned from myths and legends, and asks: "How many discoveries from space pictures will be needed before more serious attention is given to these cryptic clues from our past?"

315. Cosmic Catastrophe in 'Paradise Lost' [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... wonted vigour left them draind, Exhausted, spiritless, afflicted, fall'n. Yet half his strength he put not forth, but checkd His Thunder in mid Volie, for he meant Not to destroy, but to root them out of Heav'n: [Book VI, 827-55] Readers of WORLDS IN COLLISION will recall many passages, both from folklore and ancient literary sources, describing battles in terms which are remarkably similar to those contained in this poem. I cannot recollect finding any description of "eyes" in Velikovsky's books, but there are references to eyes and jewels in the Book of Revelation, ch.4 : Bellamy (who attributed the cosmic catastrophe to the disintegration of ...
... a real whole. Lonnrot was not, but the "short songs" of Finnish peasant tradition were too far removed from the original thought for anyone to recapture it. His successors who unearthed a bewildering number of variants to every single rune have left the confusion intact. Instead of forcing the bulky piece into an arbitrary whole, the Finnish Folklore Fellows (F . F. for short) have taken up comparative mythology, the only means by which order can be established eventually. As concerns Homer and the presupposed Homeric rhapsodies, this is dangerous territory. Not so much because Homer belongs in fee simple to the redoubtable guild of Homeric scholars- Comparetti as a respectable member of the ...

Brett, The Indian Tribes of Guiana (1868), pp. 37-84; Sir Everard F. im Thurn, Among the Indians of Guiana (1883), pp. 379-81 (quoted in J. G. Frazer, Folklore in the Old Testament [1918], vol.

The italics are ours.] There are many more stories over the world of a plug whose removal causes the flood: with the Agaria, an iron smith tribe of Central India, it is the breaking of a nail of iron whch causes ...
... K. Movers, Die Phonizier (1967), vol. I, p. 205.], even the Tower of Babel itself, and first of all the Wild Hunter ( appendix #20 ). This assembly of figures "in mid-air" helps to give meaning to an otherwise pointless tale, a veritable fossil found in Westphalian folklore: "The Giants called to Hackelberg [= Odin as the Wild Hunter] for help. He raised a storm and removed a mill into the Milky Way, which after this is called the Mill Way." [n24 J. Grimm, TM, pp. 1587f.]. There are other fossils, too, the ...

Dussaud, Les Découvertes, p. 61: "Bien avant le récit du passage de la Mer Rouge par les Israélites, le folklore ou les mythes du sud de la Palestine connaissaient une légende ou le dieu El était représente comme ayant fait surgir, dentre les flots, le grand isthme désertique, que sépare la Mer Rouge de la Mediterranée. Il paraît, dès lors, vraisemblable que cette légende est le prototype du récit concernant le passage de la Mer Rouge par ...
