... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 3 (Summer 1985) Home | Issue Contents Guidelines To The Saturn Myth (Part One of a Series) David Talbott BACKGROUND Recent issues of KRONOS have included several papers dealing with Saturn and the Golden Age. Though the resulting portrait may not be entirely clear, readers surely have noticed certain overlapping images. The portrait has also been clouded somewhat by disagreements on some fundamental issues, several of them concerning my proposed "polar configuration". In 1972, while serving as publisher of Pensee, I presented to several of the journal's associates an unusual idea, one which (to the best of my knowledge) had no theoretical precedent ...

123. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon VI:1 (Feb 2001) Home | Issue Contents Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation Ken Moss Introduction A common objection to the acceptance of the Saturnian configuration is the mistaken belief that the New World, the Americas, do not have any (or very few) Saturn myths that corroborate those of the Old World. Similarly the Old World ones themselves are often dismissed out of hand with the somehow magical and fatal word "diffusion." [1 ] Maya Cosmos, a recent book on Mesoamerican cosmology, [2 ] indirectly speaks to this supposed lack of Saturnian material and one would be hard pressed to argue diffusion. It provides an excellent source ...
124. The Great Father [Books]
... , they also declare that he resided on earth as a great king. He was the father both of gods and men. This dual character of the great father has been the subject of a centuries-long, but unresolved debate. Was he a living ancestor subsequently exaggerated into a cosmic divinity? Or was he originally a celestial god whom later myths reduced to human proportions? For an explanation of the great father researchers look to such varied powers as the solar orb, an esteemed tribal chief, or an abstract "vegetation cycle." Almost uniformly ignored is the connection of the primordial man-god with the actual planet Saturn- even though it is precisely the latter that can tell us ...
125. Ladder to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... Niger bend, in Volta, and among the Yoruba in Nigeria. Hoffman...reports that the Mamabolo (Northern Sotho of Rhodesian origin) say that the sky god Modimo went up to heaven on a ladder, from which he removed the rungs. The same...is said of the Lamba god Leza. The sky-ladder myth is also found among the Rotse in Zambia, where their deity is said to have ascended along the thread of a cobweb...In addition the Tsonga and Zulu have a tradition concerning a ladder or rope leading up to the sky." [4 ] The ladder-to-heaven motif is also attested in Aboriginal Australia. Thus, the ...
126. Kronos, Minos, and the Celestial Labyrinth [Journals] [Kronos]
... . IX No. 2 (Winter 1984) Home | Issue Contents Kronos, Minos, and the Celestial Labyrinth Ev Cochrane INTRODUCTION Editor's Note: This paper was originally read at the September 1983 Haliburton seminar sponsored by the Canadian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies. - LMG A central theme running throughout the writings of Immanuel Velikovsky is the intimate association between myth and history. Beginning with the Exodus account and Athena's birth in Worlds in Collision, continuing with the Oedipus legend in Oedipus and Akhnaton, and throughout the Ages in Chaos series, Velikovsky sought to find in myth a key to history. While other scholars have also considered myth to be a reflection of history, Velikovsky's originality lies in ...
127. The Saturn Problem [Journals] [SIS Review]
... motion, I would imagine, that lies behind the Egyptian description of Mars as the star which journeys backwards in travelling' [9 ]. The Hindu name for Mars, Skanda, meaning the jumping one' [10], probably had the same origin. This leaping behaviour might explain why Mars is always a youthful deity in ancient myth. The planet is also conspicuously red, a fitting colour for the blood-stained god of war. Similarly, of all the planets Mercury moves the most rapidly, which suits a god who presided over a wide range of areas from travels and communications to the power of phallic erection. Thus many of the characteristics of the ancient planet gods ...

129. The Garden, the Fall and the Restoration [Articles]
... a state in which human behavior was normal, rational. The assumption of a pathological state automatically implies the existence of a normal state, otherwise we have no definition for the pathological state. Of course we have descriptions of such a state, in the first two chapters of Genesis and literature from all the primitive cultures, so-called "Paradise Myths". Maybe I can just read a couple of examples. (Quotes Genesis 2:9 : "And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of ...
130. Sky Woman [Journals] [Aeon]
... ." [8 ] As Nagy points out, the epithet applied to Phaethon- múkhios, "secreted"- implies that he, like Phaon, was hidden by Aphrodite. [9 ] With reference to the traditions surrounding Phaethon and Phaon, Nagy observes that "there seems to be, a priori, a naturalistic element in these myths." [10] Indeed, Nagy goes on to argue that Aphrodite's interactions with the two heroes can best be understood by reference to the stereotypical behavior of the planet Venus. Phaon and Phaethon he would interpret as personifications of the descending sun. Thus, with respect to Hesiod's description of the relationship of Aphrodite and Phaethon in the ...
