... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents REVIEWS Red Earth, White Lies, Native Americans and the myth of scientific fact, by Vine Deloria, Jr.Scribner, NY. 1995. U.S .$ 23 Can.$31. ISBN 0-684-80700-9 This book is a delight to read, lacking in specialist jargon yet full of interesting facts, some new, others perhaps well known already to catastrophist readers but nonetheless refreshingly presented. Vine Deloria Jr. brings an open mind and a common sense approach, aided and abetted by an ironic turn of phrase, to the subject of North American Indian myth and its relationship to the current ...

102. The Birth of Athena [Journals] [Aeon]
... with good reason. Not only are the physiological details of the goddess' birth patently absurd, the cataclysmic imagery attending her epiphany is difficult to imagine under any but the most abnormal conditions. Yet as Walter Burkert observes, the birth of Athena continues to exert a strange fascination upon modern readers in spite of these incongruities: "This birth myth is as popular as it is puzzling." (4 ) There have been numerous attempts to explain the bizarre circumstances attending Athena's birth. Indeed there are as many explanations of this particular myth as there are of myth itself, ranging from socio-cultural to meteorological to psychoanalytic. Jane Harrison, for example, dismissed the myth as a patriarchal ...

103. Legends and Scripture [Books] [de Grazia books]
... CHAPTER FIVE Legends and Scripture The biggest difference between myth or legends and sacred scriptures is that the latter are selected legends, called "divinely inspired or spoken" by their believers, which have been careful-ly guarded and edited to pursue the continuous but also continu-ally changing religious goals of their custodians. Myth and legends, not so regarded, or whose line of custodians died out, were left like abandoned children to wander through time as casual history and unconstrained imagination, until caught up by scientific mythological studies. Giambattista Vico was the first modern scholar to perceive this process when, two centuries ago, he wrote: "The fables in their origins were true and severe narrations, ...

... From: The Velikovskian Vol 3 No 1 (1997) Home | Issue Contents Ancient Myths And Legends Of The African Bantu People Cecily Marchesi Introduction It is a usual practice to compare myths which have similar dates of origin in different cultures and geographic areas as a means to corroborate catastrophism in ancient times worldwide. In the myths and legends of African Bantu people, there are no known written records. Throughout ancient times, African history was recorded verbally, ". . . told to boys and girls by old men and women around spark-wreathed fires in the center of the villages, in the dark forests and on the aloe scented plains of Africa, in the ancient Nguni language ...

... From: SIS Workshop No. 2 (July 1978) Home | Issue Contents The Catastrophic Substructure of the Samson & Delilah Myth Derek P. Shelley-Pearce READERS of Kronos' will be familiar with the first part of the heading of this article which has been borrowed from Irving Wolfe. It seemed so appropriate that it is hoped the writer will be forgiven. There seems little doubt that Hebrew mythology' as contained in the Bible is a later monotheised version of earlier pagan mythologies culled from such sources as ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, Persia and Egypt. We are indebted to Robert Graves and Raphael Patai among others for disclosing the vestiges of these earlier mythologies in their book Hebrew Myths ...

106. The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg [Journals] [Aeon]

From: Aeon III:5 (May 1994) Home | Issue Contents The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg Dwardu Cardona See note * below The Ovum Mundi The myths of creation are multifarious, but one consistent motif connected with this primordial event concerns the universal, celestial, or cosmic egg. This motif is found scattered throughout the entire world- Mircea Eliade has noted examples from Polynesia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Greece, Phoenicia, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Africa, Central and South America (1 )- and has found its way into the works of various mythologists, all of whom have offered their own interpretation concerning the significance of this ovum mundi. ...

Anyway, I have recently been reading Sandman, which is a comic series written by Neil Gaimon. In his tales, he appropriates deities from the Greeks ...

... an affront." [5 ] It thus seems that us Saturnists- since that is the manner in which Rose refers to us- are placed in a position where we are damned if we discuss his work with ours, and damned if we don't. The second issue raised by Rose that I wish to challenge concerns the use of myth as the basis of a theory. Here Rose wonders "about the propriety of treating mythology as one would any other field." [6 ] As he continues: "Usually, of course, I oppose disciplinary boundaries and am fond of pointing out that non-professionals often do much better than the professionals...However myth may ...

... ; Saturn as the ancient sun god, Saturn dwelling within a revolving enclosure, Saturn as the sun-in-crescent, Saturn on the world mountain, etc. This original thesis of the polar configuration included several additional ideas- including that of the catastrophic transformation of the configuration into the "world tree" of seven bands, and the idea that many myths which had long been understood in terrestrial terms- such as, most importantly, the creation and the deluge- originally described events in the sky. In its original form the creation myth did not tell how our Earth, its landscape and inhabitants came into being, but rather recorded the spectacular formation of the primeval land of the gods ...

(Note 15) Let us now examine the various points of this myth, both on their own merit and in the light of similar points in the myths of other peoples. The most essential difference between the creation account in Genesis i and that in Genesis ii, is that there God is described as willing certain courses of development to happen, while here the Lord God is represented as actually making the ...
