... (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rogers Fund, 1942.) Top and left: Enlarged detail Elements of the Urbild A motif usually accompanying the dragon is an object often described as a pearl or a jewel. Its significance is variously guessed: it is a pearl symbolizing the wealth of a lord of the waters; it is the moon, the dragon being a cloud obscuring it; or it is derived from the art of India (19). Ingersoll considers the pearl to be the moon and the dragon to cause eclipses by eating it (20). He points out the fact that the "tag" which springs from the pearl is the symbol for thunder ...
882. Radiocarbon Dating and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... with a ratio of greater than 2.3 to 1, then Venus must have atmospheric radiocarbon. It is probable that Cytherean radiocarbon would be measurable today. The source of this radiocarbon would be by a mechanism different from that of the earth (41). Radiocarbon "date" the carbon in lunar samples. Velikovsky proposes that the moon received hydrocarbons formed during the interaction of 1500 B.C ., and that these were probably converted into other compounds, particularly carbides (42). It would be expected that these hydrocarbon residues would be on or very near the lunar surface and thus present in the available samples. Since the cosmic flux, solar flux, and ...
883. Shapley, Velikovsky And the Scientific Spirit [Journals] [Pensee]
... minded people . . . In any case, since I believe that the Blakiston Company is owned by the Doubleday Company, which controls its policies as well as the distribution of its books, I am now then a fellow author of the Doubleday Company along with Velikovsky. My natural inclination, were it possible, is to take Earth, Moon and Planets off the market and find a publisher who is not associated with one who has such a lacuna in its publication ethics. This is not possible, however, so the next best that I can do is to turn over future royalty checks to the Boston Community Fund and to let Earth, Moon and Planets die of senescence ...
884. Thoth Vol III, No. 15: Nov 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... a lot of information is lost. A lot of the phenomenon is overlooked. Really, the planets don't go around the Sun. Orbits are figments of an underactive imagination, a failure to imagine reality. The Sun and planets are spiraling around the galaxy, each causing minor perturbations in the motions of the others. By analogy, the Moon doesn't really go around the Earth. That's an idea left over from geocentric thinking. From a heliocentric view, Moon and Earth merely perturb each other a little as they go around the Sun on almost identical orbits. So the planets follow helix-shaped paths, not closed ellipses. Another image of it is a corkscrew path. That image ...
885. The Succession of Gods [Books] [de Grazia books]
... household familiars, woods sprites, or volcano ghosts. The Greek pantheon is well-known, but there are others as well. All of the great Greek gods are sky gods, though they may keep house on Earth as well, Hephaistos on Lemnos, Hades in the nether regions, and so on. The great ones are identified with the moon and planets: Aphrodite, Kronos, Zeus, Hermes, Athena, Ares, and possibly Apollo, Uranus, and Poseidon. (We do not refer, of course, to contemporary nomenclature.) When these gods are entered upon the historical record, dim though this time be, a period of greatest power can be assigned to ...
886. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... This vast structure is ruled by God, who keeps the cosmos spinning through perfect love (as did Aristotle's Unmoved Mover), acting through His agents, the choirs of angels, who are both the heavenly harmony of Plato and the Pythagoreans and the intelligences of Aristotle. Absolute perfection, wholly benevolent, exists in the vast cosmos above the Moon and keeps the terrors of earthly existence in constant check. It is easy to interpret this concept, which ruled all of Christendom in the High Middle Ages, as pure desire propelled by fear, just like its predecessors. In the face of random natural and political chaos on Earth and aberrations in the heavens, the whole of Christian ...
887. Further Comments on the Saturnian Configuration Theory (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... Further Comments on the Saturnian Configuration Theory Frederic B. Jueneman From Newark, California, writes: In his objective remarks on the Saturnian configuration theory, Michael Bar-Ron mentions the similarity between Earth and Venus and comments on the lack of tectonic plate activity on Venus, [22] but doesn't seem to be aware of my suggestion that our own Moon may be the progenitor of Earth's tectonic plate motion. [23] Venus has no moon of its own, much less one the size of our lunar neighbor- a satellite which constantly exercises a continuous stress on Earth's lithosphere and mantle as the two bodies, Earth and Moon, revolve monthly about a common gravitational barycenter, while Earth ...
888. The Oracle of Cadmus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... form of Benu the Phoenix-bird as a catastrophic agent on the star maps in the tomb of Senmut, prime minister, architect, and lover of Queen Hatshepsut about a 100 years before Akhnaton's time. [36] Io the Cow, driven eastward through Boeotia by Cadmus in obedience to the instructions of the Delphic oracle, had a white full moon on each flank.[37] Were those not moons, we may ask, but rather Aten discs? Cadmus and Venus The cow finally sank down on the future site of Thebes. There, Cadmus erected an image of Athena, calling it by her Phoenician name, Onga.[38] Greenberg[39] has already ...
889. Sky Woman [Journals] [Aeon]
... clerics to infiltrate their culture and observe their sacred practices. Indeed, it is only in the last fifty years that anthropologists have succeeded in recording the tribe's oral traditions, a number of which preserve what appear to be extremely archaic mythological motifs. The Creation myth of the Sikuani begins as follows: "In those days the sun and the moon and everyone were human beings and lived on this earth. Sun had a son who had sores all over his body; he was the morning star." [27] The Sikuani belief that the "Morning Star" was covered with sores finds parallels elsewhere [28] and naturally recalls the aforementioned Toba narrative in which Star Woman's ...
890. The Birth and Odyssey of Halley's Comet: From 2484 B.C. to the Present Time [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of 2250 mph around Mars was nearly perpendicular to Mars' path, so that Glacis' velocity approximated that of Mars, 78,000 mph relative to the Sun. The explosive fragmentation must have accelerated the Halley fragment to 94,300 mph (relative to the Sun). The Halley fragment had an attraction to Earth/Mars/Moon variously as it whipped around Earth, and left them all in its new retrograde trajectory toward the Sun (its plane of orbit around Mars was being tilted to a different plane of orbit around the Sun). The brief attraction to the Earth/Mars/Moon trio not only caused the plane angle modification, but also slowed the ...
