... gods, who thereupon hold counsel. Odin rides to Mimer's well to ask advice of Mimer for himself and his folk". " Then quivers the ash Ygdrasil, and all things in heaven and earth tremble." The ash Ygdrasil is the tree-of-life; the tree of the ancient tree-worship; the tree which stands on the top of the pyramid in the island-birthplace of the Aztec race; the tree referred to in the Hindoo legends. " The asas " (the godlike men) " and the einherjes " (the heroes) arm themselves and speed forth to the battlefield. Odin rides first; with his golden helmet, resplendent byrnie, and his spear Gungner, he advances ...

... memories were being most vividly imprinted, to whom the planets would have seemed devastatingly powerful, even the defeated Celestial Serpent. 40. See, for instance, Lewis M. Greenberg and Warner B. Sizemore, "Cosmology and Psychology", KRONOS I:1 , pp. 33-50, and William Mullen, "A Reading of the Pyramid Texts", Pensée IVR III, pp. 10-16. 41.

663. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... , and again in Part 2, p.123, the eternally regular and unceasing motions of the heavens could make them a natural target for magical fantasies. The challenge posed by halting or disrupting the system is not unlike that posed by another feat- the raising of the dead. (Recall also the halting of the planets in the Pyramid Texts, discussed in Part 3, p.216- 7.) As regards the shuddering of the earth, if this is not the reverberation of thunder then an ordinary earthquake would quite adequately account for it. The low, growling rumble of the earth, like that of thunder, is suggestive of angry, awesome power. ...
... design is engraved on the convex side, the perforations are placed near the margin, and show much wear by the cord of suspension. In the center is a nearly symnletrieal Greek cross inclosed in a circle of 1.25 inches. The spaces between the arms are emblazoned with radiating lines. Outside this circle are twelve small pointed or pyramidal rays. A square framework of four continuous parallel lines looped at the corners incloses this symbol; projecting from the center of each side of this square, opposite the arms of the cross, are four heads of birds representing the ivory-billed woodpecker, the heron, or the swan. The long, slender, and straight mandibles give the ...

... , thou lawless city: wrapt in burning fire, inhabit thou in Hades the gloomy house of the lawless. 179- 199. Oracles on Egypt and Cyrene. Now once more, O Egypt, do I bewail thy doom; 180 Memphis, thou shall be chief among the afflicted, and thy sinews shall be smitten through; thy pyramids shall utter a bold word of reproach. Python, † once rightly called the double city, be thou silent for ages, that thou mayest cease from woe. Thou insolence, storehouse of 185 woes, lamentable maenad, greatly afflicted, full of tears, thou shalt remain a widow for ever. When Barca over her rags puts ...

... of Attila and his Huns, the "Scourge of God." Official history might counter the Mongol hordes with the Roman victory on the Catalaunic fields, but the Attila of legend, chief of Gog and Magog, remains more imposing, even as he passes silently out of the scene, than Jenghiz or Tamerlane with their historic conquests and pyramids of skulls. He has little to act, he is the typical emperor of myth. Like Theodoric, like Arthur, like Kai Khusrau, he is the unmoved chess king around whom figures move. The Nibelungen story shows how mythical thought dealt with the crisis. It is Nemesis who destroys the German warriors at the last. Attila ...
... to understand mythical "images" instantly, because he can respect as "scientific" only page-long approximation formulas, and the like. 58 He does not think of the possibility that equally relevant knowledge might once have been expressed in everyday language. He never suspects such a possibility, although the visible accomplishments of ancient cultures- to mention only the pyramids, or metallurgy- should be a cogent reason for concluding that serious and intelligent men were at work behind the stage, men who were bound to have used a technical terminology. Thus, archaic "imagery" is strictly verbal, representing a specific type of scientific language, which must not be taken at its face value nor accepted as ...
... is, the ecliptic proper. It has been mentioned earlier (p . 206, n. 5) that in the axis of the Roman circus was a Euripus, and altars of the three outer planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars), and the three inner planets (Venus, Mercury, Moon) on both sides of the pyramid of the sun, and that there were not more than seven circuits because the "planets are seven only." The ecliptic as a whirl is only one aspect of the famous "implex." It must be kept in mind that being the seat of all planetary powers, it represented, so to speak, the "Establishment ...
669. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... sunken polar center of the Ice Cap tends to confirm both a minimum local snowfall and the underground flow of continental rocks. The coastal mountains have been thrust up as a result of the ice pressures on the rock floor of the Ice Bowl. When the central rocks went down the coastal rocks went up. The base of the great ice pyramid grows ever larger in response to the overlying ice pressures, this being the cause of the lateral underground flow of rock materials. The widening of the base permits the Ice Cap to become higher at the center, while the gradient or slope of the glacial ice remains the same. The extension of the base allows the weight to become ...
670. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... I see it, accomplished the end intended, but we have only stepped upon the threshold of a vast field that must be explored. SACRIFICIAL MOUNTAINS. It is well known that all the earth at one time made offerings and sacrifices on mountains, hills and "high places". In all lands on both continents lofty sacrificial mounds, pyramids, etc., were reared, on which blood offerings were made and it seems likely that at first these offerings were human victims. I think the examination of the world-records will eventually prove that all this bloody work and practice of offering any thing on altars and high places to the gods was copied from the celestial "pattern set ...
