... to a feast in which the priests and officials sacrificed an animal by killing it at an altar with an axe, burning the entrails, cutting up the good flesh and sticking it on iron spits to roast, and eating. That the basileus, or king, was a banqueter at a religious sacrifice, has an interesting parallel in Albanian folklore. Albanian retains some of its ancient Illyrian basis. Mayani quotes from a ballad by G. Fishta: A feast is provided by the good fairies for heroes who have defeated a dragon in battle. They are rewarded with dy drej te majme', two fat stags. Stags were sacrificed on threshing-floors, and here we have a ...

... interpretation, or it would not have required an analysis or special interpretive note. Lo used a secondary source's interpretation yet again to attack Velikovsky. Who can trust such a person? What Lo has done, as have so many others who criticized and condemned Velikovsky's work, is assume that the generally accepted standard interpretations of history, mythology and folklore are not interpretations but solid facts. But what we find is that this leads to narrow, sloppy research which in case after case creates its own biases and "selective editing" used as evidence. As Adolph Hitler pointed out in his book, Mein Kampf, "All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt its spiritual ...
324. The AAAS Symposium on Velikovsky [Books]
... . Einstein apparently employed the theory of gravity and came to the conclusion that Velikovsky's theory is not inconsistent with celestial mechanics. Mulholland is going to prove that Velikovsky was wrong and that Einstein was incompetent. Therefore, let us hasten to examine Mulholland's evidence. To begin, Mulholland argues, "The occurrence of supernaturally long days and nights pervades folklore all over the globe, and Velikovsky's recitation of numerous passages [of this information] is very impressive, but perhaps sufficiently repetitive to deaden one's skepticism. That the length of time consumed by these events varies from three to ten days is dismissed as due to the inability of the storyteller to determine time accurately. Indeed we are told ...

... . 9. p87. 10., p119. 11.,p121. CHAPTER 6. THE UNIVERSAL BELIEF OF MANKIND. There are some thoughts and opinions which we seem to take by inheritance; we imbibe them with our mothers' milk; they are in our blood; they are received insensibly in childhood. We have seen the folklore of the nations, passing through the endless and continuous generation of children, unchanged from the remotest ages. In the same way there is an untaught but universal feeling which makes all mankind regard comets with fear and trembling, and which unites all races of men in a universal belief that some day the world will be destroyed by fire ...

328. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part I [Journals] [Aeon]
... mystery island in the middle of the South Pacific. With no recorded history of any detail, "all that remains is a thin thread of oraltradition that has passed down through generations." [159] Its most outstanding feature are the 900 stone statues called moai, thought to have been carved over a period of 500 years. Island folklore has it that the moai are the "spirits of powerful ancestors." Many moai were placed in shrines or ahu(s ) after being carved and dragged to the site. Some never made it to their destined ahus, and this fact can be determined because each of these statue's "eye sockets were never opened." According ...
329. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... this new star is purely symbolic, or, as I said above, a prophetic vision rather than an astronomical observation. On WIC p.161, V writes : " The birth of the Morning Star, or the transformation of a legendary person (Ishtar, Phaethon, Quetzalcohuatl) into the Morning Star was a widespread motif in the folklore of the oriental and occidental peoples." For Ishtar V refers to G.5 .17O, which reads: " The transformation of the chaste virgin into a star is a legend, and is hardly of Jewish origin, as may be seen from her foreign name". Transformation into a star, certainly- but which star ...

... 10% and the average global temperature declined by about 1 C [1 .8 F]. The next year brought local temperatures that were the lowest in American meteorological history- but on average, only about 3 C (5 F) below normal. The fluctuations were more severe. That summer of 1816 was afterwards known in the folklore of New England as eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-deat ' There was snow in June, frost in July and August."18 (Emphasis added) The authors go on to describe what followed in the wake of the eruption. Numbers of dead birds fell from the sky in New York. The corn crop failed in New England. In North Carolina, ...
