... These movements vary considerably according to the reaction towards the solar radiation. Moorhouse's Comet of 1908, for example, exhibited pronounced ultra-violet hues, and explosions in the tail revealed the presence of cyanogen. Bright jets or streams of light are projected from the nucleus, and their action betokens the character of the gases. Some jets resemble rams' horns and are due to iron vapour, others like goats' horns, streaming away in a curve, indicate hydrocarbon. Often the intense magnetic attraction of the sun compels the nucleus to throw out a protective nebula like a sort of umbrella, semi-circular, and reminiscent of that ancient and very sacred device called The Tau found on many monuments ...
112. The Myth of Osiris (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... the figure of Osiris. Eventually Osiris married' his sister' Isis, and Set married' Nephthys, or, in other words, the complementary forms were put together. Our view that Osiris is the newly captured Moon is strengthened by the fact that all the other children of Nut have prominent lunar attributes. Both Isis and Nephthys have horns in their headgear and a disk, which, though it is described as the symbol of the Sun, may just as well stand for the shield of the full Moon.1 Set, however, even shows traces of a much older descent. He is generally regarded as one of the oldest gods of Egypt, as a god ...
113. Night of the Gods: The Stone [Books]
... , the Firegod, and Azhi Dahaka the fiendish snake, takes place in cathrugaosho Varenfi (4-cornered Varena).28 In the Vedas Traitana wages the corresponding battle in catur-ashrir Varuno29(4-pointed Varuna). This of course is the cardinally divided heavens, and is too a connexion of Varuna Varena with the whole vault. (These points become horns in Rig Veda iv, 58, 3, "four are his horns.") We have now, I think, overwhelming evidence of the identity of these four Egyptian Lords of the four Angles of the heavens with the foul- cardinal celestial Beings dealt with at p.184. It seems to me, too, that ...
114. The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... adapted to the presence of human hunters and [were] able to survive in spite of being hunted."2 This does seem reasonable except for the fact that one of the survivors discussed, the musk ox, is part of the list. Musk oxen, when "threatened by predators... form a solid circle with their horns pointed outward. [This circle is called a Karre.] This is a good defense against wolves, but not against men with guns..."3 and not against men with spears. According to English naturalist, Richard Perry: "Alas, the karre, so admirably efficient against natural predators, proved to be an ...
115. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... way by Thompson's book. In the first place, earthquake omens' should be seen against a background of omens in general. Thompson's book is a fascinating compendium of a wide variety of them. The Babylonians attached omens to anything and everything - to the phenomenon of the old moon and the New moon. To the disposition of the moon's horns' (of Report 3 p.228-230); to the halos around the moon, and to any bright stars or planets that happened to fall within those halos; to the entry or exit of the planets to or from the various constellations of the zodiac; to storms; to peals of thunder; to eclipses and, as ...
... kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. (3 ) So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (4 ) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. (5 ) And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the` Mother of ...
117. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... drawn by red cows, and this, also, has additional meaning. Thus, for instance, and again, Talbott has already demonstrated that the one-wheeled chariot of the gods owes its origin to the rotating Saturnian band with which we are concerned. (326) More than that, the Saturnian ring-in-crescent was visualized by ancient man as the horns of a bull or a cow and, by implication, as the horned animal itself. (327) Thus, the seven rings surrounding the Saturnian orb that we have already mentioned above would also have appeared as seven crescents or seven sets of horns- and therefore visualized as seven horned beasts- which accounts for the golden, or ...
118. Thoth Vol III, No. 10: July 30, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... , or was Isaiah mistakenly compounding Venus and Saturn, the two fallen light-giving gods? For in English Lucifer is standardly identified with the fallen angel who became Satan or the Devil and, to the best of my knowledge, this Lucifer has never been identified with Venus. EV COCHRANE ADDS: Venus was, in fact, depicted as "horned". Cultures from around the ancient world compared Venus to a long-horned cow. Even the much later Babylonian astronomical texts speak of the horns of Venus, a fact which has led many astronomers to consider the possibility that the ancients viewed the phases of Venus. Venus was also called Lucifer by numerous Biblical commentators and scholars. Even so ...
119. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Jacob [Books]
... suck his blood. But he was doomed to bitter disappointment, for Jacob's neck turned as hard as ivory, and in his helpless fury Esau could but gnash his teeth.[263] The two brothers were like the ram and the wolf. A wolf wanted to tear a ram in pieces, and the ram defended himself with his horns, striking them deep into the flesh of the wolf. Both began to howl, the wolf because he could not secure his prey, and the ram from fear that the wolf renew his attacks. Esau bawled because his teeth were hurt by the ivory-like flesh of Jacob's neck, and Jacob feared that his brother would make a second ...
120. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... I read so many inscriptions, all flatly against his ideas of dates. One bore the suspicious rendering that I have remarked before- "Pharaoh A' name borne both by Q' in the 12th century and R' of the sixth century." The same man with the centuries so wrong? I searched for Greeks and Assyrians with horned helmets to correspond with those of the Peoples of the Sea' whom Velikovsky places with the fourth century Greeks and noticed several features on statues and vases. Braids that look like horns, short plumes (? ); Athena of Pergamon with two horned projections towards the front of her helmet (baby wings out of a crown?) ...
