... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next Conclusion We have now reached the end of our story. Some five hundred myths, given in full or in part, have told us of days of the dim past when catastrophes, the violence of which we can hardly comprehend, wrenched the Earth into a new form. These myths have also told us of a time of which, up till now, only geology, and to some extent astronomy, were supposed to have the monopoly of description and explanation. This book has set out to interpret the old wonder-tales of the world from a new point of ...
82. "Heaven and Earth": Catastrophism in Hamlet [Journals] [Kronos]
... natural catastrophes of enormous magnitude. It is my belief that ancestral unconscious memories of these events underlie both the construction of Hamlet and our response to it, and evidence in support will be offered through a comparative study of the play's sources. There appear to be strong lines of connection between Hamlet, its literary and historical antecedents, and certain myths and religious stories, some appearing in cultures widely separated from Shakespeare in place and time. The nature of these connections is the topic of this chapter, for only in certain cases was the apparent source available to Shakespeare's age directly or indirectly. In other cases, it appears that we must look for a less conscious and less tangible ...
83. The Mythical History of the Comet Venus (Part I) [Journals] [Aeon]
... prehistoric times. The integrity of this reconstruction will, in turn, lend substantial verification to the model by demonstrating that here- as in other instances previously noted- the model satisfies the requirements of a general theory: it accommodates and explains the data in a consistent way, while removing countless anomalies that have frustrated previous efforts to place ancient myths and symbols in a comprehensible light. It is particularly noteworthy that none of the common Venusian themes, when examined in detail, are explicable by Venus' appearance today- a point that is only underscored by the occasional guesses of historians and mythologists seeking to explain the motifs within conventionally accepted frameworks. Figure 1 The Polar Configuration Consider these ...
84. Gods and Giants (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 8 Gods and Giants The battle of a god-hero against a dragon-monster sometimes takes the form of fight of the gods against an aggressive race of Titans or giants. The view taken in this book is that there is no difference between the dragon with its crew of grisly monsters and the serried ranks of the giants, both being phases or aspects of the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite. In ancient mythology we find various indications of their close relationship or identity. The dragons drop abominable excrements; the Titans hurl huge rocks; fire is in one way or another connected ...
85. On testing The Polar configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:2 (Feb 1988) Home | Issue Contents On testing The Polar configuration David Talbott Background This is a follow-up article to my previous "Reconstructing the Saturn Myth," AEON Vol. I, No. 1. It is assumed that readers will have read that article and are familiar with the general context of the theory discussed in the following pages. Defining the model In presenting the case for Saturn's polar configuration it is necessary to draw upon many wide-ranging pieces of a celestial puzzle. But the theory can only give meaning to the separate pieces by reference to a model outside all generally accepted theoretical frameworks. In effect, our interpretation of each ...
86. Venus in Ancient Myth and Language [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:1 (Jan 1988) Home | Issue Contents Venus in Ancient Myth and Language Ev Cochrane In this study we will begin a survey of the various Indo-European languages with a view towards reconstructing the original significance of certain traditions associated with the Latin goddess Venus. As such, this study should be seen as forming a supplement to the researches of David Talbott and myself on the mythology surrounding Venus, where it was argued that the cult of the celebrated Mother Goddess can hardly be separated from the recent history of the planet Venus. It is a curious fact, one little noticed by the scholarly community as a whole, that the vast majority of the ...
87. The Myth of Osiris (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 28 The Myth of Osiris A Tale of the Capture of Luna Osiris was the offspring of a liaison of the Earth-god Seb with the Night-Sky-goddess Nut, the spouse of the Sun-god Ra. In a terrible rage at his wife's unfaithfulness, Ra swore that she should not be delivered of the child on any of the 360 days of his year. As her time was up, this curse might have caused her considerable difficulties had not Thoth, the god of science and mathematics, another friend of Nut's, succeeded, by a ruse, in procuring for her a ...

89. Myths of Floating Islands (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 27 Myths of Floating Islands An important and peculiar subdivision of the myths describing escape from the waters of the Flood on to mountains is represented by those which emphasize that these mountains, or rather islands, went sailing through the waves like ships. This is not the habit of firm land, however (unless we think of the sudd, the floating masses of decayed vegetation found on the Upper Nile) or similar drifting islands on the Amazon; or, indeed, of icebergs). It must have been due to an optical illusion, such as we have ...

The theory involves an ancient celestial phenomenon termed a polar configuration' and its impact on all of the major themes of world myth and symbol. In each of the essays the author challenges his readers to ...
