... Saturn, "encircled with A RING, donned of SERPENTS", a plate in Vol. VII of "Indian Antiquities" by Thomas Maurice (London, 1800). Testimony for the serpent motif in ancient cosmologies - and for an early knowledge of the rings? What is the reality behind Saturn's place as the original deity in cosmogonic myth? What is the significance of the "Golden Age" and other legends surrounding this planetary god? The following paper is based on an idea arrived at some years ago and presents the startling conclusions of the authors' researches into the traditions of peoples. The publication, in 1950, of Worlds In Collision heralded a revolution in contemporary ...
72. Dragons and Serpents (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 6 Dragons and Serpents The figure of the dragon or serpent is peculiar to mythology, it is probably the most puzzling of all the creatures with which this science has to deal. The serpent or dragon myths are not confined to any people, nor to any clime. Everywhere the creature would seem to be indigenous. It is familiar in north and south, in east and west, and everywhere its distinct reptilian me is emphatically stressed. This has been taken as the chief evidence that all dragon myths came from some common original story of remote antiquity. In ...
73. Night of the Gods: The Stone [Books]
... He used the invention against the rebel rival power Ch'jh Yeo, a sort of Satan or Typhon, and also the chief of 81 beast-bodied iron-browed man-voiced dust-eating brothers. Note the good god using the magnet against the evil iron, which is quite an Egyptian conception. He pursued his enemy and seized him. This is of course all celestial myth; and there is a further curious parallel to the Egyptian allegory in the legend that the corpse of Ch'ih Yeo was cut up (like that of Osiris) and its limbs sent to various places.27 The invention of the cars was also credited to Chow Kung to serve in guiding back to their country the envoys who came B ...
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 35 Myths relating to the Formation of the Mediterranean The formation of the Mediterranean was due to a cataclysm which caused great changes in what was probably a well-populated area. When the Atlantic waters of the capture tide flooded the Mediterranean basin from the west, and the waters of the Mediasiatic Sea surged in from the east, when, perhaps, even waters from the Indian Ocean, coming up through the Red Sea, entered the Levantine basin from the south, many cultures met their end, or suffered at least a great caesura in their development and continuity. The ...

THE NATURE OF MYTHS. In a primitive people the mind of one generation precisely repeats the minds of all former generations; the construction of the intellectual nature varies no more, from age to age, than the form of the body, or the colour of the skin; the generations feel the same emotions, and think the same thoughts, and use the same expressions. And this is to be ...

77. The Transfiguration of Trauma [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of Demodocus opera theater behave as they do to cover up their real behavior which is infinitely more destructive, indiscriminate, and punitive. The next problem of this stage is to show how their more intolerable behavior works itself out as a bedroom farce. How was the traumatic disaster transformed? DREAMWORK The best available model for the interpretation of a myth is the dream. As was shown in an early chapter, the staging of the telling of myth creates a collective Holy Dreamtime. The audience is prepared to dream, to engage in dreamwork themselves, and to emerge with a sense of heightened reality. For reality is the unreality that enable people to compose their anxieties. In The ...
78. Implications for Chronology if Certain 'Historical' Characters are Mythological [Journals] [SIS Review]

79. Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:5 (Sep 1988) Home | Issue Contents Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One)David Talbott The necessary emphasis on the planet Saturn in much of the prior discussion of the polar configuration has perhaps created a false impression that must now be corrected. Because the myths present Saturn as the "first father"- the central sun and creator who originally stood "alone" in the sky- that planet is the logical focus of any attempt to present the configuration. At the same time this can be misleading, by suggesting that the other planetary gods have only minor roles, which is not the case at all. With the growing speculation ...
80. Dragon-Slayers (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 7 Dragon-Slayers One of the most striking features, common to every dragon myth, is the fact that none of these monsters may continue its ravages with impunity for any length of time. Every dragon has George. And the fight of the hero of light with the terror of ancient night is the glorious theme of many eternal tales. The Indians and Iranians have many myths in common, a reminder of a prehistoric time when the tribes were much more closely united than by mere ties of language. One of the most striking is that which describes the fight of ...
