... ] The arrows sped by Pharaoh against the children of Israel were answered by the Lord with fiery darts directed against the Egyptians. Pharaoh's army advanced with gleaming swords, and the Lord sent out lightnings that discomfited the Egyptians. Pharaoh hurled missiles, and the Lord discharged hailstones and coals of fire against him. With trumpets, sackbuts, and horns the Egyptians made their assault, and the Lord thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered His voice. In vain the Egyptians marched forward in orderly battle array; the Lord deprived them of their standards, and they were thrown into wild confusion. [46] To lure them into the water, the Lord caused fiery ...
322. The Female Star [Journals] [Aeon]
... light of comparable traditions from around the globe, the suspicion arises that something more than fantasy is at work here. The malevolent nature accorded the Cytherian planet is a widespread belief. Among the Samoan Islanders, for example, it was said that Venus (Tapuitea) was a Fijin queen from early times who, upon becoming wild, sprouted horns from her head and engaged in cannibalistic practices. [16] Shortly thereafter, the queen was translated to the heavens where, as Venus, she continues to presage the death of kings and nobles. Various peoples in the New World likewise regarded Venus as a female star. The ancient Hawaiians knew Venus as Hoku-alii, Chieftess-star." ...
323. The Orion Mystery by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... traversed the whole of the zodiac on a regular basis. They also recognise that the outstretched arm of Orion = the Hyades (the jawbone of an ass) and the Hyades were identified with Set, the red god (an important figure in Celtic and Biblical myth too). On that basis it is possible that the Hyades, the horns of the constellation of Taurus, were implicated in some kind of way with the break-up of Osiris, i.e . associated with one of the twins. Various interesting snippets are mentioned but passed by without comment. For instance, the city of On or Annu = Heliopolis of the Greek era, has a name very similar to ...
324. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - II (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... by stating that it is only the mammoth and rhino finds that are likely to be so reported since these, alone, are important for their ivory.(61) This is most curious. Ivory is a term relevant to material from several different animal species (most notably the elephant), but the rhinoceros is not included. The horn of the rhinoceros and the extinct woolly version was no exception- is composed of the protein keratin which is also found in hair, skin, nails, hooves, etc. By no stretch of the imagination can it be regarded as ivory. We are, once more, in Ellenberger's own realm of "Syntax, Semantics etc. ...
325. The Etruscans and their Language [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... blow of a sacrificial axe, the pelekus. The entrails were burnt, the tongue thrown on the fire, and pieces of flesh were roasted on forks with five prongs and eaten in a solemn feast. This procedure represents the lightning exchanges in the sky and the break up and absorption of the snake-like tail of an object with protuberances like horns or antlers. The tongue and entrails suggest the snake with flickering tongue. In Homer's Odyssey, when Telemachus visits Pylos, he finds the company sacrificing on the sea shore. They are sitting on fleeces, which, as well as being comfortable, might aptly symbolise clouds [3 ]. The original action took place in the sky ...
326. "Stonehenge Viewpoint?" Biased View (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... for example, the recent criticism by William White which, starting in XI:1 , will appear in three installments.] But for Forrest to ramble on for 10 pages of single-spaced type - approximately 8400 words - with lengthy interjections about his beloved Shakespeare and the manner in which he came to pen his opus magnum is to blow a horn in a meandering tune in discord with the background music. No journal has space to waste on such banality. It is not that Forrest did not raise any valid points - although they are all answerable. But he buried them in a heap of triteness. "When Forrest objected, I wrote again, on July 15, and ...
327. The Unworkable Polar Saturn [Journals] [Aeon]
... Earth makes sunlight reach Saturn in a line which is at a right angle to the line from Saturn to the Earth, whereby Saturn's system of perhaps toroid rings as seen always in concentricity from Earth is always at the equivalent of half phase, lighted mainly on one side from the Sun and appearing as a single or composite crescent, the horns of a bull or bulls, the latter being an exact image of reconstructed myth. The other and more important consideration, as earlier noted, is climate as produced by the solar distance. Third, the rotation axis of Earth always points at Saturn. It is aligned so that the line of it could be drawn continuously through the ...
328. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... material' would be travelling in roughly the same direction and speed as Venus prior to the encounter means that it cannot have caused much change to the planet's near-circular orbital characteristics. A stream of incandescent bodies in temporary orbit about Venus and totalling about the same mass as the Moon would be visible from Earth, perhaps explaining the ancient reports of horns' on Venus. Also the enormous extent and great density of the atmosphere of Venus may have been largely caused by the multiple collisions and generation of heat by friction in addition to that imported in the material ejected from Jupiter. Eric W Crew BSc FIEE FRAS, Broxbourne, Herts, UK PS Since this letter was prepared in October ...
329. O-Kee-Pa: Catastrophe Myths and Rituals of the North American Mandan Indians [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the tower in which Lone Man was saved from the flood. On the four poles next to the Big Canoe figures were tied which represented the sun, the moon, the Lord of Life and the Woman Who Never Dies. A ritual bull-dance was re-enacted by eight men with skins of buffaloes thrown over them. There was a single buffalo horn on the middle of the back of each Bull Dancers costume to which were tied bundles of willows symbolic of the flood' [14]. The men who danced around the Big Canoe' were accompanied by another four men in ritual costumes. Two of the participants were painted in black with charcoal and grease. They were called the ...
330. The Hermes Connection [Journals] [Aeon]
... heraldic caduceus, symbol of Hermes. It is apparent that later recollections of the silvery air mass encased in nebulous clouds helped to trigger a resurgence of the hermetic legends throughout the civilized world- this occurring after an indefinable period of dormancy. Among the Celts Hermes would become the penultimate deity, second only to Cernunnos (37) , the horned Saturn. A day in the midweek would be devoted to Mercury around the Mediterranean, which the northern peoples would call Odin's day, a cognomen that has come down to us as Wednesday (Wotan's Day). Within a handful of centuries a renaissance of philosophies about the proper paths or walks of life would blossom throughout the civilized world ...
