... specific reference to the magic associated with knots and bands. (8 ) The Norse seidr, the most common term for magic amongst our Northern forebears, is acknowledged to trace to a stem meaning "band" or "fetter", with particular reference to magical knots. (9 ) The most common term for magic in the Egyptian Pyramid Texts was heka, signifying "to utter charms, or spells, or incantations," yet the same word is found elsewhere with the meaning of band or crown (hekau). (10) And in these earliest of religious texts, according to Mercer, the typical means of working magic was through the agency of tying knots ...

... shown to V. and which he had rejected, even though Tompkins could throw light on two points of importance: the sexual derivations from cosmic disaster (which V. had recognized) and the descent of great bureaucratic institutions from the same obsessional terror (which Deg but not V. was attending to). His Secrets of the Great Pyramid was ultimately to achieve fame. Tom Kuhn's book on scientific revolutions was beginning to gather kudos for himself as a historian of science. Deg had footnoted it in his study of the reception system, for old time's sake, since the book hadn't come to hand until the manuscript was ready to print, and praised it in the ABS ...
423. Ages in Chaos in the Light of C14 Archaeometry [Journals] [Pensee]
... Period (XXVIth Dynasty) to the Greek (Ptolemaic) Period. Most of the Middle Kingdom samples are derived from the time of Senusret (Sesostris) II and Senusret III; hence the close grouping of dates is not surprising. UCLA-1212, BM-238, and BM-280 represent reed bonding used between mud-brick courses in the north boundary wall of the pyramid of Senusret II. UCLA-900 and C-81 represent wood from a funerary boat of Senusret III found at Dahshur. Three other analyses of wood from this same boat (BM-22, GrN-1 157, and GrN-1178 not shown on the chart) yielded dates that closely check those indicated for UCLA-900 and C-81. BM-341 and UCLA-1398 represent flax cloth (linen ...
... which Odin represents the god Hermes to whom this act was attributed by the Greeks. In Asgard, situated in Midgard, the "middle of the earth", dwelt the gods and their kindred, and from that abode devised "wondrous things in earth and heaven". It possessed a "high place", an elevation, a pyramid, called Hlidskjalf, from whose summit Odin, on his lofty throne, could view the entire world, perceive all the actions of men and understand all that he contemplated.2 The Ynglinga Saga says that when Asar Odin and the Diar (gods) went to Scandinavia from Asgard they taught those "idrottir which men afterwards long practised ...
425. Precursors of Quantavolution [Books] [de Grazia books]
... directly, V. took from Whiston, Donnelly, Bellamy, Brasseur de Bourbourg, and perhaps innocently or amnesiacally from Beaumont and Hoerbiger. After 1962 he probably took from many people of his circle, both directly and from their references, like Stecchini with Boulanger and Juergens with Bruce, or Schorr on the Dark Ages and Mullen on the Pyramid Texts, but he was writing little after 1962. On the matter of human psychic origins, he took from Freud directly and from others probably as currents of thought, the psychoanalysts especially. And of course, he was getting a great deal of material from his opponents; we must never forget that. He was a sad man ...
426. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... jars have been found in Brazil (mentioned in a Channel 4 Equinox TV programme, The Mystery of the Cocaine Mummies', 8/9 /96). Eccott on p. 28 mentioned a Roman pot, moulded in the form of the head of a bearded man, excavated in Mexico. Possibly also relevant are the small step pyramids found on the Canary Islands - another TV programme (Channel 4, Mystery of the Mummies: Cave Mummies of the Canaries', 12/4 /99) showed that there was a north African culture around the time of Christ which extended to the Canaries in the west and had links to Cleopatra's Egypt in the east. However ...

... , the water goes into the atmosphere, falls as precipitation, this precipitation weathers down the surface of the Earth, flows back to the sea, and it's a cycle. You have also in the biological realm, the Sun is THE source of energy, most of the animal life is dependent on plant life, there is a food pyramid, the main prime source of this food pyramid are the plants, so without plants, animal life would be very difficult to sustain if not impossible. So the Sun both as a geological effective medium and a biological phenomenon is extremely important. But if you have ever read an ecology text, and ecology seems to be a key ...

... which is not at all like a scorpion, probably was called by this name because a comet that looked like a scorpion appeared in it." (15) In many unrelated cultures we find similarities in form and emblem which suggest a common cosmic implication: for example, the dome, either with or without a central opening; the pyramid; the tower; the mound or staircase; the canopy (which imitates the vault of the heavens); the egg or gilded ball, frequently an attribute of imperial power; the crown, etc. The greatest difficulty in the study of such forms arises from the amalgam of cultures present everywhere, as a result of which archaic ...

430. Falling Star [Journals] [Aeon]
... location of the celestial Hereafter is an archetypal and apparently universal belief. Just such a belief is attested amongst the Skidi Pawnee: "It is related by the Indians that the star who receives them after they are dead stands at the end of the Milky Way, in the north." [50] The same belief dominates the Egyptian Pyramid Texts, wherein the deceased king aspires to return to the celestial Hereafter associated with the Circumpolar Stars. Witness the following observation by the noted authority Jan Assman: "Those formulations of the transition to the next world where the idea of a physical passage' predominates speak of a path, along which the deceased must proceed. Such texts ...
