... the crescent-ship with our moon that mythologists give almost no attention to specific imagery suggesting a radically different interpretation. Having observed the "unorthodox" role of the crescent-horn, it is appropriate to note first that ancient symbolism always equates the great god's ship with the bull or cow of heaven. Prehistoric drawings from Egypt continually relate the ship to a horned creature and later Egyptian art continued the theme. (13) 92. The Mesopotamian great gods sail in the horned ship. The same connection occurs in many Scandinavian rock drawings. A rock picture from the Nubian desert south of Kerma shows the ship so placed on the back of a bull that the boat and the galloping animal are ...
12. The Sacred Cow, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Sacred Cow The comet Venus, of which it is said that "horns grew out of her head," or Astarte of the horns, Venus cornuta, looked like the head of a horned animal; and since it moved the earth out of its place, like a bull with its horns, the planet Venus was pictured as a bull. The worship of a bullock was introduced by Aaron at the foot of Mount Sinai. The cult of Apis originated in Egypt in the days of the Hyksos, after the end of the Middle Kingdom,(67) shortly after ...
13. The Comet Venus, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Venus changed its form with the position of the planet. When the planet Venus approaches the earth now, it is only partly illuminated, a portion of the disc being in shadow; it has phases like the moon. At this time, being closer to the earth, it is most brilliant. When Venus had a coma, the horns of its crescent must have been extended by the illuminated portions of the coma. It thus had two long appendages and looked like a bull's head. Sanchoniathon says that Astarte (Venus) had a bull's head.(65) The planet was even called Ashteroth-Karnaim, or Astarte of the Horns, a. name given to a city ...
14. Appendices (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... , but later (i . 22; x. 15, 20) as a `living creature' (singular!), certain markings are discernible which are interpreted as likenesses' of fantastically composed figures, `living creatures' (plural!). The essential thing about them is: they have `wings', bovine `horns' and `soles' (cf. the double semi-lunar impressions cattle make in soft ground), leonine `fangs' and `claws', aquiline `beaks' and `talons': in short, they have something about them which is semi-circular. In these objects we recognize the craters of the satellite, lighted from the ...

A I was at Shushan (Susa) in the palace which is in the province of [lam and I looked in the vision and B I was by the river of Ulai [3 .] then I lifted up my eyes and looked and C behold a ram was standing before the river and D on it (were) two horns and E the two horns (were) high but F one (was) higher than the other and G the higher one came up last [4 .] I saw H the ram butting westward and I northward and J southward so that all beasts might not stand before him and K none could deliver from his hand and L ...
16. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... and the place to which it is attracted and strikes in the form of lightning. Descriptions from all over the world of a snake-like object in the sky were probably inspired by the sight of the tail of a comet. The head of a comet with protuberances would be seen as the head of a bull, goat, stag or other horned creature. Piezoelectric effects in rocks as a result of earthquakes led to the study of the earth goddess Ga, Da, or Ge. The Egyptian neter, divine,represented by what may be an axe, has the same consonants as the Greek antron, cave. Antron probably means a cave formed by a split in the rock ...

... imperishable paces, fiIled with ,ambrosia, delight us with sacred food" (ii, 95) ; and all these texts have their explanation in another statement that'"Vishnu alone made, by three steps, this spacious and durable aggregate " (ii, g5,. See also the strange text: " ' Four are his horns, three are his feet, two are his heads, seven are his hands " (p . t64). " Oh rivers, the dwelling-places of the intelligent gods are thrice three " (fur each of the three Lokas has three divisions);'"the measurer of the three" [worlds "" is the sovereign ...
18. The Celestial Ship of North Vol. I [Books]
... as Mother of the first elementary Forces and of Time. When the Solar period was established these became the seven souls of Ra, the Egyptian Sun. These Creative Forces, or Powers, were always known as gods, and the higher gods of antiquity were always Sons of the Mother before they became sons of a Father. Sut, Horns, Shu, and others never had a Father. In their origins they were male-female, as were all the ancient gods. Zeus was often called the Beautiful Virgin, Venus has been found bearded, the original Apollo was bi-sexual, Horus is given in both sexes, Osiris and Isis are found to interchange. In the vision of ...
19. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... other planets are less prominent. Jupiter's name was later misread Horus, the Opener of Secrets' (Up- shetau); the original reading was Upesh ( 'the Resplendent Star'), or Horus, the Resplendent', and also the Southern Star'. Saturn is Horus, the Bull'; and Mars is the Red Horns' or Horus of the Horizon' (Harakhti). It is somewhat surprising that Sebg(u ) -Mercury has no connection with the wise Thout, as we should expect from Asiatic and European analogues; and sometimes this star is actually dedicated to the wicked god Seth." (Muller p.54- 5) Several ...
20. Chapter XXIX: the Mythology of Isis and Osiris [Books]
... whatever the mythology might have been. Further, it seems quite certain that the star symbolised as Isis in the pyramid worship was the star Antares (Serk-t) heralding the autumnal equinox, and it is probable that the Pleiades (Nit) were so used at the vernal equinox. The Goddess Taurt The Goddess Serk-t Or Selk-t (Both with horns and disk.) There is evidence that many of the names of these goddesses are pure synonyms. That is to say. we have the same goddess (or the same star) called different names in different places, and associated with different animal emblems, in consequence of the existence of different totems in different nomes. I have ...
