... collective human memory retained an inexhaustible array of recollections of the time when the world was in conflagration, when sea engulfed land, earth trembled, celestial bodies were disturbed in their motion, and meteorites fell. My narrative is based on historical texts of many peoples around the globe, on classical literature, on epics of northern races, on sacred books of the Orient and Occident, on traditions and folklore of primitive peoples. The question that arose was: Where is the archaeological evidence? In later chapters of my book I gave such evidence: water clocks and sundials that show a different length of the day or altered latitudes;, change in the orientation of ancient temples which ...
182. ...more Myths Monuments and Mnemonics: A Visit To Easter Island [Journals] [Horus]
... the cause of these shared traditions. At one extreme legends like Hotu-Matua's are attributed entirely to human imagination. In this interpretation the accounts of great catastrophes in Nature that characterize so many myths stem from extremely exaggerated descriptions of local events said by the victims to have destroyed the whole world. Tales from survivors, handed down for generations, became sacred lore and traveled to other areas of the world with the spread of civilization. In another view it is theorized that people share the same types of primitive beliefs because such ideas are inherent in the human mind. When psychoanalysts discovered that dreams often occur which contain myths unknown to the dreamer, some proposed the concept of a collective unconscious ...
183. Samson Revealed [Journals] [Aeon]
... of Samson's grinding at the mill like a common slave can be compared Heracles' working as slave to Omphale. (34) There, it will be remembered, the Greek strongman operated the spinning wheel. As we will discover, this otherwise bizarre adventure is pregnant with cosmological import. One might also point to the hero's peculiar relationship to sacred springs. Here it will be remembered that after the slaughter of the Philistines, Samson was so overcome by fatigue and thirst that he cried out for help. Hearing his plea, God caused a spring to burst out of a nearby rock, which henceforth would be known as "the Spring of the Crier." (35) ...
184. Venus, Mars ... and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in the pivotal events that shaped the recent history of our species. This article seeks to summarise the Saturn-theory as it currently stands [1 ]. The Saturn theory is an attempt to make sense of the testimony bequeathed to us by our forebears in the form of myth, ritual, literature, art, astronomical records and language. In sacred lore from different cultures around the world, certain mythical traditions are to be found virtually everywhere - e.g . the Creation, the Golden Age', the Flood, the dragon combat, etc. A systematic analysis of the recurring themes and patterns in these different traditions reveals numerous parallels converging upon the respective planets, which are ...
... European origins and human vicissitudes. In regard to the Greeks alone, and their Celtic origin in the North, I have held over far more than appears here, and Crete, although one of the great keys to the past, has had to be side-tracked. The same applies to the philosophy and pre-history of the Scandinavian peoples and their sacred city of Asgard with its many repercussions. Almost the same reproach attaches to the problem of Egypt. Here, again, several chapters have necessarily been held over relating to that curious country and people, whose founders, I have contended, were Western Celts. Perhaps my greatest regret is that so little definite has been able to be ...
186. The Revelation of John (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... reason as follows. One party, the land-dwellers most probably, sought their salvation in the worship of the Sun: they took their badge from the angel of the east', as is expressly stated in our myth. The views of the other party were diametrically opposed: they believed that the dragon could best be propitiated by taking their sacred symbol from it the powerful being of the west. We must not forget that the satellite in those days gave a very different impression from our own now. Luna's tiny silver disk, no bigger than a pea held at arm's length, rises in dreamlike gentleness out of the east, smiling kindly down upon the sleeping world; by ...
187. He Who Shines by Day [Books] [de Grazia books]
... humans. But one volcano does not inspire a whole people in communication over thousands of miles to create a major god. Hephaestus is, for that matter, god of volcanoes and fire, but this is not his sole or even major life-activity. Graves reports (I , 51-2) that Hephaestus seems to have been the title of the sacred king as solar demi-god. We have alluded to the former; for "solar" we insist upon "Venusian," because the sacred kings of the ancient Mediterranean flourished concurrently with Cretan and Minoan civilizations and were both well-remembered and hated as an institution by the misogynist Hellenes, for whom kings were not to be periodically set up the ...
... heaven on his head and unwearied hands".2 The Pillar region, in the western extremity of the earth near the Hesperides, it must be admitted bears the closest resemblance to the location of Prometheus, and recalls again the Aztec legend of Mt. Culhuaean in Azt/an. it is difficult to believe that there were two such sacred mountains in close proximity, and that both were acclaimed as the creators of mankind. The tragic eclipse of Atlas, if slightly varied, must have been very similar to the fate of Prometheus. All around were the isles. daughters of Atlas, as also the seven Pleiades, who traditionally drowned themselves for sorrow of their sire's sufferings ...

... is viewed as a comet-like body and set against the Saturn thesis. PAGE 43 Ancient Greeks in America- by Alban Wall A short excursion into the writings of Plutarch leading to the conclusion that the ancient Greeks not only traveled to the American continent, but also made contact with its natives. PAGE 63 Lucid Dreaming and Visualization Techniques in The Sacred Tales of Aelius Aristides- by David Walter Leinweber The Greek dream temples of Asklepios, as portrayed in The Sacred Tales of Aristides, form the basis of this investigative study, in which ancient Greek techniques are shown to reveal a knowledge and understanding of psychological ills and practices.

190. The Electrical God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Let me now assemble the name of Yahweh in the context of this book. Moses, learned as he was, had known the syllable "Ya"; he heard it, and also other compound words including it, in Egypt and then in Midian among the Kenites and the nearby tribes. It was a godword, part of various sacred epithets. He heard a sound very much like "Yahweh" streaming with light from the Burning Bush. This is the essence of god, he thought; it is the name of god and is hinted at in all the "ya" syllables that I have heard. Now he asks what it is, and "Yahweh ehweh ...
