... me that the hypothesis of collective amnesia cannot comfortably fill the gulf between them. So much for the prayer to Ishtar, then, but before we leave King's book, there are two other references to it in WIC. On WIC p.61 (" The Red World") we read: ". .. in the Babylonian myth the world was coloured red by the blood of the slain Tiamat, the heavenly monster." Again, on WIC p.76 (" The Hurricane") we read: "In the battle of the planet- god Marduk with Tiamat, he (Marduk) created the evil wind, and the tempest, and the hurricane ...

193. Thoth Vol II, No. 8: May 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... THOTH, I shall begin a series of articles focused on a single "snapshot" of the planetary configuration which we have claimed dominated human imagination in ancient times. As a prelude to that series, I am submitting the following introductory questions and answers for the benefit of the many new subscribers to this newsletter. WHY SHOULD WE CARE ABOUT MYTH? I think there's a very good reason to care about myth, even though myth as a whole may seem to speak a language too obscure for rational, feet-on-the-ground folk. Myth is, I believe, a window to early human history, a more intense period of history than we've realized. The myths have their roots in a ...

Or has Earth been shaped by wrenching catastrophes some of which were recent and widespread enough to have deeply traumatized all of humankind? Did early human societies develop gradually in uneventful natural surroundings, moving incrementally from savagery to civilization? Or did cataclysms forcibly conclude a long period of primitive harmony and precipitate our ...

Bellamy CD Home | Contents Contents | Intro Cosmological Interpretation The First Cycle of Myths The Second Cycle of Myths The Third Cycle of Myths Capture Cataclysm of Luna Appendices Notes The Cosmological Basis of the Interpretation This interpretation of, or commentary on, the apocalyptic material, that is, the cosmological myths, contained in the Book of Revelation, is based not on the-rather vague teachings of the old school of comparative mythology, which claims descent and support from philology, but upon the vigorous tenets of a new school of explanatory mythology, which has been inspired by the teachings of a singularly interesting new cosmological theory: ...
197. The Atlantis Secret by Alan F.Alford (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... lost continent of Atlantis, but also a decoding of ancient Greek religion in its entirety'. The book is even described as a kind of initiation process' where the reader is advised to digest one chapter at a sitting and take time for reflection' before moving on. Serious stuff, indeed .. . Alford's general approach to Greek myth is now along plausible and promising lines: The myths of the gods fit .. . a cataclysmic model. This model is undeniably celestial, and is based on the archetypal idea of Heaven falling cataclysmically to the Earth .. . the tectonic and volcanic aspects of some Greek myths are a natural corollary of this celestial model .. ...
198. The Creation of the Earth -- the First Account [Books]
... scientifically is to explain it as correctly and adequately as possible. How different in this, respect is the creation account in Genesis i from the cosmogonic accounts of other peoples! Their stores are almost always curiously involved; they are not reported in scientific' language; but described in mythological' pictorial terms. Yet I contend that all cosmogonic myths, be they worded as scientifically' as that of Genesis i, or as mythologically' as that of the Babylonians, for instance; report actual happenings which took place in the dim past, accounts of which were somehow handed down to us by eye-witnesses through a long chain of oral transmitters. It is hardly necessary to point out ...
199. The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... ". We will find much support for Velikovsky's claim of a cometary Venus - and also a surprising and crucial connection with Saturn. Though our investigation will question certain assumptions of Worlds in Collision, we think the evidence will help to substantiate Velikovsky's underlying theory of celestial catastrophe, in which the primary players are planets. 2. The Saturn Myth In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky presented the last two acts of what he claimed to be a much longer drama of interplanetary catastrophes. These later episodes, involving Venus and Mars and dated from the fifteenth to the seventh centuries B.C ., were claimed by him to have been preceded by equally dramatic cataclysms involving the giants Saturn ...
200. Heracles and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... origins, one capable of accounting for the vast majority of the hero's characteristics. Of the canonical 12 labors we will have little to do at this time. (1 ) Our strategy, rather, will be to investigate the earliest traditions associated with Heracles. The reason for this approach is simple: the earlier sources tend to preserve the myth in its purest form, free from the rationalizations and extraneous accretions which characterize later accounts. If we look at the earliest accounts of Heracles' career we find that they frequently describe a murderous rogue, in striking contrast to the valiant hero of later Greek legend and modern cinema. In the Odyssey, for example, Heracles is indicted ...
