292. Mars Gods of the New World [Journals] [Aeon]
... , it stands to reason that such events could hardly have gone unnoticed by the earliest inhabitants of the New World. Having elsewhere documented striking correspondences between Old and New World traditions associated with the planet Venus, (9 ) we turn in this paper to ancient conceptions associated with the planet Mars. Find the god or mythical figure among the sacred traditions of Mesoamerica who most corresponds in nature and deeds to Nergal and it is a good bet that one has found the planet Mars. Such a god is the Aztec Tezcatlipoca. As has been our practice throughout this series of essays investigating the cults of the world's great war-gods, our analysis of Tezcatlipoca's cult will emphasize the comparative method ...
... to make haste to do what lie was about, and provoke him to it; for when this youth Aristobulus, who was now in the seventeenth year of his age, went up to the altar, according to the law, to offer the sacrifices, and this with the ornaments of his high priesthood, and when he performed the sacred offices, (5 ) he seemed to be exceedingly comely, and taller than men usually were at that age, and to exhibit in his countenance a great deal of that high family he was sprung from, - a warm zeal and affection towards him appeared among the people, and the memory of the actions of his grandfather Aristobulus ...
294. Metals, Salt and Oil [Books] [de Grazia books]
... iron and worked it. The Assyrians achieved their greatest conquests at a time of grave natural disasters (the Mars-associated events between -776 and -487) [3 ]. South and north of Egypt, iron in large quantities was found and used; in Egypt it was neither found nor used. Query: why was no distinction made between meteoritic sacred iron and mined iron? Possible answer; because all iron was known to be meteoritic. Much may have fallen in association with the activity of the great war god Mars-Ares-Nergal. Adequate metallurgy was known for thousands of years before the iron age; increased temperatures could have been devised if the will- and the material- were present. In conventional ...
295. Eden's Flaming Sword by Isaac Vail [Books]
... "In the beginning the Lord Gad made a garden in Eden", or if Qedem was a region: !The Lord God made a garden in Qedem in Eden", and that place was originally southward beyond a doubt, if we are to give the name its primitive meaning of "front" or "first". The sacred penman tells us that in Eden man dwelt naked. Now the thinker wants no better evidence than this to strengthen the claim of canopy development. If man was naked in Eden, then Eden was a green- house world, and "man", Adam, was the world-type or representative of the whole human race. I do not ...
... . Now at this time it was that Elijah disappeared from among men, and no one knows of his death to this very day; but he left behind him his disciple Elisha, as we have formerly declared. And indeed, as to Elijah, and as to Enoch, who was before the deluge, it is written in the sacred books that they disappeared, but so that nobody knew that they died. CHAPTER 3. HOW JORAM AND JEHOSHAPHAT MADE AN EXPEDITION AGAINST THE MOABITES; AS ALSO CONCERNING THE WONDERS OF ELISHA; AND THE DEATH OF JEHOSHAPHAT. 1. WHEN Joram had taken upon him the kingdom, he determined to make an expedition against the king of ...
297. From the Death of Isaac to the Exodus out of Egypt [Books]
... mastery, the Egyptians desiring to destroy the Israelites by these labors, and the Israelites desiring to hold out to the end under them. 2. While the affairs of the Hebrews were in this condition, there was this occasion offered itself to the Egyptians, which made them more solicitous for the extinction of our nation. One of those sacred scribes, (18) who are very sagacious in foretelling future events truly, told the king, that about this time there would a child be born to the Israelites, who, if he were reared, would bring the Egyptian dominion low, and would raise the Israelites; that he would excel all men in virtue, and ...
298. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part III [Journals] [Aeon]
... one of the strangest occurrences that the Saturn model needs to explain. I first became aware of an opening of the mouth connection while researching the literature on the mythology and rites of the Maya. [1 ] In a major work by D. Freidel et al., the authors discuss the attributes of the god K'awil, "a sacred being who symbolizes the embodiment of spiritual force in material objects." [2 ] In Yukatek, k'awil means "sustenance" and refers to fluids such as blood that is "given freely as thanks for the sustenance provided by the divine." [3 ] The same word also means "statue" and a common representation of ...
299. The Dynasty Of Priests. Part 2 Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... cruelty and desecration bordering on madness on the part of the conquerors; it is also a scene of deprivation among the conquered population exemplified by the destitute state of a dispossessed elderly nobleman openly begging soldiers of the occupation for bread. Many a scholar has expressed scepticism concerning the truth of Herodotus' narrative; especially his story of Cambyses stabbing the sacred bull, Apis, met severe criticism since conflicting evidence was discovered by A. E. Mariette when in 1851 he opened large sepulchral chambers with not less than sixty-four sacred bulls mummified and laid in magnificent sarcophagi, with the dates of their births and deaths written on their swathings. The name of Cambyses written in Egyptian script was found ...
300. Apollo of the Wolf, the Mouse and the Serpent [Journals] [Kronos]
... Contents Apollo of the Wolf, the Mouse and the Serpent Michael G. Theodorakis NAME AND EPITHETS It is generally agreed that Apollo did not always represent the Sun.(1 ) When he gained ascendency in Greece, he did so as an intruder, displacing gods which had been established there before him. Even at Delphi, which was sacred to Apollo, he is seen to replace a series of gods which had formerly been worshipped at the site.(2 ) These facts, along with material presented below, strongly suggest an astral identity for Apollo other than the Sun. According to Immanuel Velikovsky, the planet Mars first became prominent in the eighth century before the present ...
