132. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the god whose protection and leadership Moses had prophesied. We never escape this deity during Moses' life, for it assumed terrestrial form. It was Yahweh who led them on their wanderings, in a column of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night, he who encamped with them and whose very same manifestations emerged from the sacred enclosure that Moses had built for him. There is a naive myth, founded indeed upon the very words and acts of Moses, that the Israelites shunned the gods of the sky-the sun and moon, planets, and stars and would not fashion religious images. Although Yahweh is reconciled to the existence of other gods, he ...
133. Tower Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... a troop of scouting post diluvians of other descent' and other tongue. It was the clash of interests, and not the jarring of idioms, that caused the abandonment of the site. Anyhow, whatever else Genesis xi. 1- 9 may tell us, we learn that one of the first acts of settlement was the building of a sacred tower. The Bible story is only the report of one wave of emigrants down from the mountain refuge, as is specially stressed by the passage describing their movements: And it came to pass, as the y journeyed from the east [the mountainous region], that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they ...

135. The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg [Journals] [Aeon]
... modern times. (8 ) Half a world away, in Fiji, Ngendei is also said to have accomplished the creation by hatching out an egg. (9 ) And in the Society Islands they also speak of the primeval darkness during which Ta'aroa existed in an egg from which he afterwards emerged. (10) Thus, among the sacred chants of the Tahitians, the act of creation is lauded time and again. As in the myths of other races, we find the original deity Ta'aroa, encased in a cosmic egg, ruling alone in darkness. Ta'aroa was the ancestor of all the gods; he made everything. From time immemorial was the great Ta'aroa.. ...
136. Ritual and Sacrifice [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the Sun would terminate in chaos. So quite aside from the matter to dietary protein, the stability of the cosmos was at stake. There had to be here, as elsewhere, a religious justification for cannibalism and human sacrifice. The Spaniards were not impressed by this argument. They by now had many centuries of experience in confining their sacred cannibalism to the body and blood of Christ, which they absorbed whenever they partook of Holy Communion, which, if they were devout, ought to have been daily. The authority for this was Jesus Christ himself, as confirmed by no less than Saint Paul. This ritual sacrifice and cannibalism sufficed, and does to this day among ...

... daily sweeping of the household shrine); but she was equally "at home" in her Terrible Aspect, the man-eating mistress of chaos. We must remember what Mircea Eliade and other perceptive students of comparative religion have taught us about the motives of myth and ritual. Inherent in the idea of correspondence with the gods was the idea of sacred moments, sacred domains, and sacred gestures, distinguished from the insignificant and "profane" by their connection with the great events and deeds of the gods. The principle applied at all levels of activity, not just the publicly visible centers of collective ritual. Every household had its sacred aspect, as did the kingdom. "Women ...
138. The Celestial Clock [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:2 (Dec 2002) Home | Issue Contents The Celestial Clock www.celestialclock.com The Celestial Clock employs a unified theory of natural cyclicity, which reaches apocalyptic proportions in every 11,500 - 23,000 years. The book reveals the sacred symbology of the Seven Stars of Pleiades, serpents, dragons, scorpions, lamb and bull along with indisputable scientific proof that the Mayan Calendar is based on the 23,000 year ice volume collapse cycles recently discovered in ocean sedimentation and ice core drill down studies from Greenland and Antarctica. It is the dominant cycle of the "100,000" year Milankovitch ice age theory. ...
... came to any pitched battle with them; but raised up their earthen banks, and brought their engines into such forwardness, that they might do execution the next day. And any one may hence learn how very great piety we exercise towards God, and the observance of his laws, since the priests were not at all hindered from their sacred ministrations by their fear during this siege, but did still twice a-day, in the morning and about the ninth hour, offer their sacrifices on the altar; nor did they omit those sacrifices, if any melancholy accident happened by the stones that were thrown among them; for although the city was taken on the third month, on ...
