... . Which alone stretcheth out the Heavens, and treadeth upon the High Places of the Ocean. Which maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,3and the chambers of the South. (Job ix, 5 ; xxxvii, 18.) He is the infinite Ptah and Kabes 4he createth all works therein; all writing, all sacred words, all his implements in the North.5 THIS subject, towards which we have been working our way throughout this Volume, of which it forms the closing section, will most conveniently be opened by some proofs that the Most High, the deity symbolically worshipped on High Places, was the God of the Polestar, who was ...
102. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... since Ishtar-the-Venus-Comet, presumed bringer of the flood and (we must suppose) inspiring agent of Gilgamesh's bad dream, is nowhere to be seen. Instead, we have Ishtar "goddess of love" and "our lady of love and war" (Sandars p.59). Later we see her as an unsuccessful seductress of Gilgamesh, sacred harlot and faithless lover (p .83- 4). She was also patroness of dancing girls, temple prostitutes, and courtesans (p .86). Later still, as mentioned above, we see Ishtar regretting the fact that she voted in favour of the destruction of mankind (p .107), and bemoaning the ...
103. The Ark in Action [Books] [de Grazia books]
... words of Yahweh, measured probably between 45 X 27 X 27 and 63 X 38 X 38 inches, That would be close to the bulk size of a secretarial desk. Tradition maintains that the Ark itself was fashioned by Moses[16], and, of course, the design was his, dictated to him by Yahweh on the sacred mountain. An ark "denotes here a kind of chest or box."[17] Its Hebrew word is aron. ' It may have meant once something other than a box; that is, the structure embracing the function may have appropriated the name of the function in later ages. The root of aron, ' says ...
104. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... symbols which are found carved on stones, in graves and on grave goods, throughout the megalithic world. This was a huge subject upon which this talk could only touch, but we were given examples from three prime sites (Stonehenge itself, Newgrange and Avebury) which illustrated Dr Meaden's theme of one particular religious concept, that of the sacred marriage. Meaden referred to the work of Marija Gimbutas in her studies of the earliest religions of the European Stone Age. It seemed obvious that for a long period religious cults were all centred on a goddess, an earth mother, symbol of fertility and cycles of birth, growth, death and rebirth. Rebirth, in the form ...

... medicine-man or Kilo-kilo, when observing the heavens or the flight of birds, for omens.5 (But this is in the Southern hemisphere.) In the Bhagavata purana (i , 9, IA the King Bhagavat sits down full of stedfastness and meditation with his face turned towards the N. According to the Kalika-purana,"the side sacred to Kuvera (north) is the most gratifying to Siva, therefore, seated with the face directed to that side should Chandika (i .e . Siva) be always worshipped." When people sit to repeat their sandhyd (sunrise noon, and sunset) prayers, they turn towards the North if they be Saktas, that ...
106. The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes edited by Iona and Peter Opie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... tempting to read into it cosmic catastrophe to do with the world tree, but it is more likely to be an indication that babies were sometimes rocked in their cradles by the wind. Ancient myth has also been associated with Jack and Jill went up the hill, with some justification as there are customs in England where children roll downhill on sacred days and to go uphill to collect water is not a normal procedure. Other possible rituals are Jack be nimble, where leaping the candle is an old game to bring luck associated with another rhyme, The tailor of Bicester, who intriguingly only has one eye, and Little Miss Muffet, which is one of a type of rhyme ...
107. The Cosmic Double Helix [Journals] [Aeon]
... why should it be so significant? What does it represent? What is the prototype of the caduceus? Comparative mythology and symbolism provide incontrovertible evidence that the caduceus symbolised a cosmological phenomenon, a real object once observed in the sky. This conclusion follows from several lines of argument. A first step in the right direction is the discovery that sacred staffs and scepters, wielded by magicians, shamans, kings, priests and warlords, were often microcosmic representations of the universe as a whole. Vague as this may sound, it can be demonstrated that the sacred staff was a miniature replica of the axis mundi, the column in the optical centre of the sky which united the celestial ...
... while they were not permitted to use their own laws, but were compelled to prosecute their law-suits, by the ill usage of the judges, upon their holy days, and were deprived of the money they used to lay up at Jerusalem, and were forced into the army, and upon such other offices as obliged them to spend their sacred money; from which burdens they always used to be freed by the Romans, who had still permitted them to live according to their own laws. When this clamor was made, the king desired of Agrippa that he would hear their cause, and assigned Nicolaus, one of his friends, to plead for those their privileges. Accordingly ...
