182. The Wayward Sun [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of simmering turtle, lizard, insects, and generous servings of berries and seeds are shared around the circle. It is time. An elder rises and passes a lined hand over his buffalo-skin cloak. The children are immediately alert, their eyes wide with anticipation. Listen now, on this feast of the Sun-Dance, to the Utes' myth of the taming of the sun. Once upon a time Ta-wats, the hare-god, was sitting with his family by the camp-fire in the solemn woods, anxiously waiting for the return of Ta-vi (the wayward sun-god). Wearied with long watching, the hare-god fell asleep, and the sun-god came so near that he scorched the naked ...
183. Velikovsky and Historical Anti-Naturism [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 3 (Summer 1985) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky and Historical Anti-Naturism Duane Vorhees The world is full of origin myths, and all are factually false. The world is full, also, of great traditional books tracing the history of man (but focused narrowly on the local group) from the age of mythical beginnings, through periods of increasing plausibility, to a time almost within memory, when the chronicles begin to carry the record, with a show of rational factuality, to the present. Furthermore, just as all primitive mythologies serve to validate the customs, systems of sentiments, and political aims of their respective local groups ...
184. Problems With The Morning Star [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and its importance emphasised by others. Peter James has argued that Velikovsky was mistaken in his identification of Greek Aphrodite as the Moon, and that Aphrodite, as goddess of love, was in fact the Greek Evening Star while Athena was the warlike Morning Star aspect of Venus only[2 ]. James proves his point by recourse to the myths and symbols of the Eurasian civilisations of the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians and Egyptians, where the often masculine, evil aspect of the Morning Star is contrasted with the feminine, love-goddess aspect of the Evening Star. Martin Sieff has gone further and suggested that "The fact that Venus was recorded as a catastrophic threat when perceived as Morning ...

186. On Mars and Pestilence [Journals] [Aeon]
... to the Old World, it is well-documented that several ancient gods expressly identified with the planet Mars were intimately associated with pestilence. The Babylonian Nergal is a case in point. Jastrow summarizes the ancient conception of Nergal as follows: The various names assigned to him, almost without exception, emphasize the forbidding phase of his nature, and the myths associated with him deal with destruction, pestilence, and death...In Babylonian astrology, he is identified with the planet Mars, and the omen-literature shows that Mars in ancient days, as still at the present time, was regarded as the planet unlucky above all others. (71) A similar figure is the West Semitic ...
187. The Literature of the Bible (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 18 The Literature of the Bible The literature of the Bible offers a great problem to the mythologist. The Bible is a unique Book consisting of various matter from various ages and various nations in various stages of their development. It represents a fair though entirely arbitrary selection of writings which are neither historical nor mythological in any strict sense. The Jewish religious beliefs have gone through a very peculiar process of sublimation in the course of which a divine glamour was thrown over all the hard facts', till faith developed out of a religion of experience a religion of revelation ...

... transLated from the Icelandic by H.A .Fellows, 1923, as this is the translation that V used. I had great trouble finding a copy of this (Manchester's having been stolen in 1978), and eventually used a slightly edited, but nonetheless almost complete reprint of Fellows in Raymon van Over's book "Sun Songs: Creation Myths from around the World" (Mentor, 1980). I also refer to "Gods and Myths of Northern Europe' by H.R .Ellis Davidson (Pelican; 1964 ed.); to "Eddic Mythology" by J.A .MacCulloch (" Mythology of All Races", vol.2 ; 1930 & ...
190. Conclusion [Books]
... -- Conclusion In the foregoing pages I have attempted to show that the oldest motifs of ritual and myth focus on a coherent set of ideas- and that these ideas bear no relationship to the present world order. What modern man views as creations of a fragmented and irrational imagination actually pertain to a vision of exceptional simplicity. The Cyclopes, dragons, and one-legged giants speak not for unconstrained speculation, but for once visible powers. To modern writers, seeking to penetrate the language of myth, it is as if early races contrived their fantastic symbolism in conscious disdain for later efforts to understand. "Anyone who has ever entered the labyrinth of an archaic culture's mythical compendia ...
