112. Aphrodite The Moon or Venus? (Continued) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Reports Graves: "The later Hellenes belittled the Great Goddess of the Mediterranean, who had long been supreme at Corinth, Sparta, Thespiae, and Athens, by placing her under male tutelage and regarding her solemn sex-orgies as adulterous indiscretions." The Moon, to whom "the sun yields precedence" (4 ) in early Greek myth, has three phases - the maiden of spring, the nubile nymph of summer, and the crone of winter, to correspond to her three phases: new, full, and old. So she could be identified with Mother Earth's vegetative year, who produced first leaves and buds, then flowers and fruits, and then a withered ...
113. Thoth Vol I, No. 17: June 30, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Ian Tresman New URL Section- Quote of the day: "New opinions are always suspected and usually opposed without any other reason but because they are not already common knowledge." John Locke- VELIKOVSKY'S COMET VENUS David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) [EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles on the myth of the comet Venus.] In _Worlds in Collision_, Velikovsky noted many tales of disaster and upheaval in which the agent of destruction possesses cometary attributes, even as it is identified with the _planet_ Venus. The anomalous "cometary" traits of Venus in world mythology thus became key pieces of the argument, and ...
114. Night of the Gods: Disputatio Circularis [Books]
... a universal Fact which is a Lie. Let any reader who here hesitates at the very threshold, try and put that most simple and useful of untruths " the sun rises " into words that accurately convey the facts of the case or explain the origin of the word `heaven' or get to the Ding an Sich of the Atlas myth on any other than the Axis theory favoured in this Inquiry. It is hard luck that a book like this, which aims at some sort of scientific system, should thus have to start from, and base its investigations on, a falsity; that its author should have to reverse to constantly maintain (but only in Myth) ...
115. Moons, Myths and Man [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1993 No 1 (Aug 1993) Home | Issue Contents Moons, Myths and Man by H.S . Bellamy (Faber and Faber, 1936) This book appears to remarkably pre-empt both Velikovsky (catastrophe and the use of world wide myths) and Clube and Napier (a giant satellite breaking up in the prehistoric sky and being responsible for dragon and serpent folklore etc). It is a read I recommend to Society members and I wonder to what extent Velikovsky was influenced by catastrophic tomes such as this and others by authors such as Hoerbiger, Vail etc. From Bellamy's use of myth it seems to me that Clube and Napier ...

117. Sightings - Astrology/Astronomy [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Kronia List, 27 Jan 2000 I wanted to comment on this when it first came by. Am involved in a major project now & haven't time to post much on Kronia, but I wanted to run this by y'all. Just before leaving Vanderbilt, I picked up a book at the Vandy bookstore called The Secret of the Incas: Myth, Astronomy and the War Against Time by William Sullivan (Three Rivers Press, 1996). Sullivan talks about the "technical language of myth" designed to record and transmit astronomical observations of great complexity, particularly those connected with the precession of the equinoxes. From his study of Inca myth, the author concludes that animals are stars ...
118. The Loss of Paradise and the Fall, of Man [Books]
... From: In the Beginning: God by H. S. Bellamy CD Home | Contents In the Beginning: God XI The Loss of Paradise and the Fall, of Man The only great and powerful cosmic force imaginable as capable of acting on our planet is that wielded by a satellite. But the myth of the loss of Paradise does not describe the cataclysm wrought by the breakdown of the predecessor of our present Moon. It pictures quite another occurrence, one that is infinitely less remote than the one which caused the Deluge and resulted in a New Creation'. In the asatellitic age, after the breakdown of the former companion of our planet, all life recuperated and ...
119. The Pleiades in Aboriginal Mythology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 5 No 3 (Sep 1983) Home | Issue Contents The Pleiades in Aboriginal Mythology J. E. AITCHISON Recently I began some investigations into the possibility that Aboriginal myths might have some synonymity with the myths of other cultures. My initial intent was to draw on Aboriginal myths related to the planets and major constellations and try to find parallels. For my primary source of data I have been using an exceptionally well-presented anthology of Aboriginal stories called Australian Dreaming.(1 ) The path of my research led me into the realm of catastrophism because much of the content of Aboriginal myth has to do with geographic and climatic change: there is no slow ...

... -- VIII The Cosmic Mountain To the images of the enclosed sun and enclosed sun-cross ancient myths add the cosmic mountain- a column of light rising along the world axis and visually appearing to hold aloft the great god's home. The signs of the Saturnian mountain are and . Throughout the world one encounters the story of a shining peak which once rose to the centre of heaven. Though this cosmic mountain appears under many different names, accounts from every section of the world tell much the same story. The Egyptians knew the great column as the Primeval Hill, the Babylonians as the World Mountain. The mount passed into Hinduism as the cosmic Meru, into Iranian myth as ...
