... . Note how the lines of force bend away from each other at the poles. If an object so magnetised was seen in the sky, with its lines of force illuminated, it might have been identified differently by viewers, perhaps as the outspread arms and legs of a crucified saviour, the wings of some phantasm, or even the horns of a beast or devil. Figs. 7-9 show these: a gorgon face from Perugia, the horned and Buddha-like Gaelic Cernunnos and a cousin of the latter found in the Indus valley [3 ]. Perhaps a magnetised object (or objects) appeared in the sky, once or more often, and its presence was interpreted mythologically ...
42. Chapter II: The Events [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... ". There is evidence that cows were, at sometime in the past eaten in India. Later, they became very sacred, and were regarded as daughters of the heavenly COW. 22 Today in India, cows are still considered sacrosanct. Velikovsky observed that "Isis, the planet Venus, was represented as a human figure with two horns, like Astarte (Ishtar) of the horns; and sometimes it was fashioned in the likeness of a cow."23 Also, Velikovsky used a quote about primitive tribes on Samoa who did not develop writing but repeat even today that the planet Venus became wild and grew horns out of her head. 24 Numerous other examples exist ...
43. Angel & Catastrophism Part II [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of Star Trek', we cannot nevertheless leave such possibilities out of account. Finally, it is becoming equally clear to the catastrophist that the idea of the serpent' and the Fall' are associated with an apparent falling of a cometary body from the sky. All the features associated with the devil are clearly in evidence here. The horns have been demonstrated as a universal mythological feature in connection with the aspect of an approaching comet. It must be remembered, however, that horns in mythology - Biblical or otherwise - are an ambivalent feature since they are associated both with gods and devils. In spite of Hyam Maccoby's letter in S.I .S Review Vol. ...
... to me my Eye . . . I wept . . . and men and women sprang into existence from my Eye, mata glyph " This is a close parallel to the Chinese evolutions of Pan Ku and the Japanese of Izana Gi and also throws the proper light upon the phrase found by M. Pierret'19 upon a funereal statuette: " Horns brought-forth Shu's Eye glyph. In the same papyrus we have the common " Horns of the two Eyes, Heru maa glyph ," where Dr. Budge notes that the two Eyes are the two Ut'at eyes glyph 20 Again it is said that one of the names of the Eye of Horus is Sexet glyph.21 In the Festival-songs ...
... his condition and circumstances. His necessities require fleetness, and all accommodating Nature has bestowed upon him a form of proper muscular developement, and capable of the requisite endurance. The skins of the buffalo he has slain form the covering of his lodge, his bed, and his robe; its flesh sustains him, and from its hoofs, horns, and bones he fashions his implements of the chase, his ornaments and domestic utensils. Its white skull, bleaching on the open plain, has become his " medicine ;" shadowy buffaloes fill his wild legends ; and the black bull is an emblem of evil and malignant portent, while the white cow is a token of auspicious ...
... observed the sign of Aries, the Ram, sacred to Hermes, represented here thrice repeated. Its position of concealment indicates that Aries has not yet risen above the equinoctial horizon, but is destined shortly to emerge. It is the Sign yet to be.11 2. Cetus . - This strange amphibious beast, with a single long horn, a big eye, a duck's beak, flappers in place of legs, and a tail, represents the sign Cetus, sometimes described as tile Leviathan, or Whale. Although Cetus is not included as one of the twelve zodiacal signs, not lying in the path of the Ecliptic, he occupies a prominent position below the signs ...
47. Night of the Gods: Axis Myths [Books]
... of desire. Plate 49 in Moor's Hindu Pantheon clearly makes the mountain a central conical axial peak. It rests on the Tortoise (Vishnu in the KurmilvatAra), and Vishnu in youthful human form is seated on the summit of Mandara. Vishnu is also seen among the gods who, pull-devil-pull-baker fashion, haul the serpent Vasuki' against the horned Asuras. The modern Japanese commentator Hirata Atsutane (1776-1843) said that the stirring round with the spear was the origin of the revolution of the earth.12 Sir Edward Reed 13 repeated this theory of the spear being the Axis from Hatori Nakatsune and Dr. Warren14 cites Sir F. Reed. It would be extremely interesting if we ...

... ; cf. the Egyptian hennu, boat. At a Roman sacrifice the person sacrificing wore a crown. The animal to be sacrificed was called a victima, if a bull or cow, Q-CD vol 12: KA, Ch. 20: Sanctification and Resurrection 238 and a hostia, if a smaller animal. A victima would have its horns gilded, and a chaplet, vitta, put on its head. It was brought to the altar by the popa, the priest's assistant. Some hair was cut from the forehead and thrown on the fire. Salted meal, mola salsa, was sprinkled on the victim's head. It was stunned with a blow of an axe to ...
49. Implications for Chronology if Certain 'Historical' Characters are Mythological [Journals] [SIS Review]
... true. That its presence in the New World as well as the Old is attributable to diffusion is doubtful, however. Such traditions probably originated in response to catastrophic celestial events witnessed by primitive man the world over. Of the dozens of mythological motifs worthy of analysis from the career of Moses, one more will be mentioned here - his horns. ' One of the most peculiar traditions in the Pentateuch describes Moses as being horned' in the aftermath of his confrontation with God atop Mt. Sinai [17]. This passage, not surprisingly, has long troubled exegetes, ancient and modern alike. As Moberly points out in his commentary on Exodus 34, the source of ...

... unreasonable attributes by later commentators onto earlier people/places/things. For example (gee, I've always wanted to wing something like this): "The preceding age [to Pisces, RDF], that of Aries, had been heralded by Moses coming down from Mount Sinai as two-horned, ' that is, crowned with the Ram's horns, while his flock disobediently insisted upon dancing around the Golden Calf', that was, a Golden Bull', Taurus." Hamlet's Mill, see above, p. 60. Because such statements are not supported with references, many scholars avoid Hamlet's Mill. While medieval paintings exist showing Moses with horns, this is understood as ...
