... known to be a god while most commentators have proceeded upon the assumption that Kadmos was a mortal. But if, as I have suggested.(1a) Kadmos was originally a Theban god analogous to Dionysus, who was also associated with Ares, the added association of Kadmos with the same Ares raises fundamental questions concerning the origins of Greek religion and myth.(9 ) That Ares was originally a celestial body is suggested by a Homeric hymn in which the god is described as a fiery sphere among the planets.(3 ) This fiery nature links Ares to Mars, described as the fiery planet par excellence in both Babylonian and Greek astronomy. And, in fact, ...
682. Baal-Manzer The Tyrian: A Reappraisal [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... fallen out of the Tyrian king list as we have it because of the similarity of his name with that of his predecessor. This kind of emendation may be legitimate but it seems a bit arbitrary. Is there no better solution? In his discussion of the element manzer', Albright suggests that it is to be translated as something like religious votary', from NZR, to vow' [6 ]. The Hebrew nazir is one who has taken a religious vow (nazirite), and sometimes has the meaning of a kind of religious leader [7 ]. Additionally, nezer is the Hebrew word for diadem', a royal or semi-royal emblem in almost all cultures ...
683. Abraham and Phallicism [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1988 No 2 (Jan 1989) Home | Issue Contents Abraham and Phallicism by George R. Harvey Two seemingly unrelated events occurred during the biblical Abraham's lifetime which were strictly phallic in nature: the first Scriptural recording of the religious practice of circumcision and the drama at Sodom concerning a male homosexual act. Proponents of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky's theory of an upset Solar System give many instances of religious ceremonies which can easily be explained as the attempt by a terrified people to appease the gods or angels by imitating or otherwise relating to the astronomical phenomena they witnessed [1 ]. I wish to propose a similar explanation for the two phallic events. ...

686. Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion [advert] [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:4 (July 1999) Home | Issue Contents Advertisement Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane STILL AVAILABLE Earthlings have long been fascinated by the planet Mars. Well before modern science fiction speculated about advanced civilizations upon Mars and the dire threat of invasion by little green men, the red planet was regarded as a malevolent agent of war, pestilence, and apocalyptic disaster. In an attempt to appease the capricious planet-god, various ancient cultures offered it human sacrifices. What is there about this distant speck of light in the night sky that could have inspired such bizarre conceptions culminating in ritual murder? And how do we ...
687. The Beginning Of Religious Belief [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop No. 2 (July 1978) Home | Issue Contents The Beginning Of Religious Belief Mike Rowland MAN'S first steps in philosophy, in thinking about himself and his environment, are lost in the mists of time. From what little evidence we have (some cave drawings, a few hand-tools and primitive carvings) Man appears to have been relatively unconcerned with the fate of his forefathers - in short, he lacked an historical perspective. Striking though they are, the paintings at Altamira have nothing of the Kilroy-was-here' legacy to posterity which has illuminated graffiti for the last 6,000 years. We can only surmise that Man was concerned only with today, ...
688. Aphrodite The Moon or Venus? (Continued) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... sons of the thievish Xuthus, this being a way of denouncing the Aeolian and Ionian devotion to the orgiastic Moon-goddess Aphrodite - whose sacred bird was the xuthos, or sparrow, and whose priestesses cared nothing for the patriarchal view that women were the property of their fathers and husbands."(7 ) Hans Jonas, author of The Gnostic Religion , may also be quoted. For he has traced a very old belief in the connection between Moon and Helen: "Some Greek mythological speculation seems to have associated the Homeric Helen with the moon, whether prompted by the similarity of Helene and Selene, or by her fate (abduction and recovery) interpreted as a nature myth, ...
689. The Science of Catastrophism [Articles]
... scarred and rent and overturned, and the sky was filled with darkness and light, blazing heat and choking dust, rains of fire and overwhelming thunder, unstoppable, unpredictable and colossal. We who are catastrophists believe three general things: that events like these did probably occur, that our ancestors saw, remembered and recorded them in myth, religion, folklore and art, and that we the human race are as scarred psychologically by them as the Earth was geologically. As Velikovsky put it, "We are descendants of survivors, themselves descendants of survivors." This may sound radical, hard to accept, implausible, like a fairy tale. Fifty years ago, when Velikovsky's ...
690. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... First Dynasty. First and foremost, Menes - like Abraham - was regarded as the founder of civilised life. A whole series of arts, sciences and skills were associated with his name. Later Egyptians insisted that it was with Menes that the people of the Nile valley became a cultured and literate nation. Both characters were also regarded as religious innovators. Thus in Genesis 17:9 Abraham initiates the custom of circumcision, a ritual that was to stay with the Hebrews throughout their history and was to become a central religious duty. In Moses' time, the instrument used to perform the operation was a flint knife - suggestive of the custom's remote antiquity (Exodus 4: ...
