132. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... opinion that "what the ancients thought of as morning star' or evening star' could be very different to what we now know." (44) To further complicate matters, the Blackfoot Indians also had their Morning Star divinity- and with it a minor deity whom they referred to as Mistaken Morning Star. (45) The Myth which describes how Mistaken Morning Star came into existence need not be told here but its implication is stressed by Marion Wood in the following words: "Often, near dawn, a bright star appears in the sky. People sometimes think that it is the morning star, but they are wrong, for he comes after, even brighter ...
133. New Zealand Maoris Myths [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:2 (Dec 2000) Home | Issue Contents New Zealand Maoris Myths Gordon Williams, Sat, 22 Jul 2000 This is a short comment on "The Day the Sun Stood Still". One of the better known myths of the New Zealand Maoris, a branch of the Polynesian family tells this story. The Maoris were becoming increasingly dissatisfied by the short length of the days. Maui, the most powerful god decided to rectify this. With his brothers he paddled towards the sunrise and waited for the Sun to appear. When it did they cast the net wide to trap the Sun. The struggling of the Sun shook the earth ...
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 4 Observation of the Disintegration of the Tertiary Satellite The post-stationary age, during which the Tertiary satellite drew closer and closer to, and moved more and more quickly round the Earth, at last came to an end. In the later periods of this age the Earth had probably gained a great amount of stability; though the pull of the satellite had flattened the globe considerably, its swift and smooth transit caused few disturbances. At last, however, the satellite came so close that its centre was about 1.8 Earth radii away from the centre of our ...
135. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as the beginning', Earth was engulfed in darkness. Time and again we are told that in the beginning' there was no Sun, no Moon, no stars. The planetary god of beginnings, we are told ad nauseam, ruled alone and in darkness. Whether we turn to the pages of Genesis or to the ancient Egyptian myths of creation, the message is always the same; whether we seek the first appearance of the Hebrew Elohim or the Egyptian Atum, it is always stated that the god existed alone in darkness. It is the same in the ancient texts of India, not only among the Hindus but even among the lesser tribes: When this world ...
136. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... Ea was one of the personifications of the planet Saturn. In fact, as I have already noted elsewhere, Michanowsky's entire work is littered with purely Saturnian motifs, though he did not seem to recognize this. Only once did he acknowledge a connection between Saturn and Vela X-when he noted that, in one Greek-written version of the Mesopotamian Deluge myth, the god Ea is rendered Kronos, which is Greek for Saturn. He then lamented that "Most of what is known of Cronus is quite uncharacteristic of Ea [which is not strictly true], with a single very striking exception. In classical literature and in subsequent esoteric writings, the name Cronus is identified with a former ...

The Rock of Ages THE Japanese heavens-Rock Dwelling, ame-no-Iha Ya, in the Kozhiki (i , 16) must I think be taken to be the spot in the heavens which is fixed and eternal as a rock-that is the Northern celestial centre wherein the axis is unshakeably fixed. This is confirmed by the fact that the Iha Ya is "near the source of the peaceful heavens-River" (i , ...

... spiral fila-mentary appearance of the polar co-lumn. coffins and statues were propped upright on mounds of sand facing south in imitation of the World Moun-tain and the Saturnian configuration as a colossal northern god. the purpose of the rite was to re-animate mummies just as the sun-god Osiris and the polar configuration itself was once returned to "normal." The Myths, Planets, And Gods "Mythology and ritual [for the Egyptians were facets of one reality]." [4 ] We now turn to the most crucial factor, that of the myths of ancient Egypt upon which the ritual was based. Certain myths, like those about creation, are called Theogenic myths and their purpose is ...

The Capture Flood surged over the tropical and subtropical belts and submerged the populous city as well as the lonely hut of the hunter or shepherd, the palace of the noble as well as the hovel of the outcast, and drowned all- except a few upon whom fortune smiled. Among these there may have been men of wisdom and learning. When the Earth had settled to the new conditions imposed upon it by its new satellite, and groups of survivors began to find their way about the strange part of ...
140. Historical Paradise and Collective Psychology [Journals] [Horus]
... for religious ceremonies; human beings could ascend to heaven and return to earth at will. Likewise, according to the Hopis and Mayas the original human beings were all-knowing, wise and godlike, and the first world the happiest and most perfect. It has been the fashion among scholars for the past century or more to collect these ancient paradise myths carefully but to deny them historical validity. Instead, they interpret them as symbols of unconscious psychological processes either unique to early man, or common to all human beings of all generations. Typical of this approach is Theodore Reik's suggestion that Golden Age mythology is a metaphor for the womb and infancy, and Freud's description of the fall from ...
