... . The name Phoebus Apollo means the "shining destroyer" which alone should tell us his true character. His birth myth reveals even more: his mother was Leto/Latona, which in Latin means "Hidden One", probably a deity of night or darkness. As wife to Zeus before Hera came along, she may well be Saturn, for this name can also mean "Hidden One". In any case she is sister of Asteria "Star" who was changed into a quail (could be a connection with the cloud of quails that fell on the camp of Israel). Pursued across the land by Hera's wrath, she settled above the floating isle of ...
392. Thoth Vol II, No. 18: Nov 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . It remains to be seen whether they're as nutritious. Amy Acheson thoth@whidbey.com- THE WARRING GODDESS ATHENA By Dave Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) As a follow-up to the previous discussion of James Fitton, I shall attempt to illustrate a principle of methodology.. How does one evaluate the explanatory power of the Saturn theory in the concrete terms we have suggested? Since Fitton criticized Velikovsky for claiming the Greek Athena was Venus, I will employ this goddess as our test case, though any well-documented goddess figure could be approached in the same way. Our reference for now is a "snapshot" of the Saturnian configuration on the Kronia Communications website. ...
393. The Lengths of the Year [Journals] [Pensee]
... less correctly in the Midrash. In (1 ), Vaughan and I consider pre-Exodus and post-Beth-horon "years" of .593 and 1.1295 years, respectively. One easy way in which the ratio between such "years" could have been measured would be through the revolutions in longitude of some major astronomical object, perhaps Jupiter or Saturn, that was little affected by the events that changed Earth's "year." What would have been the nature of these observational records? Actually, it was in order to illustrate an answer to that very question that our particular values of .593 and 1.1295 were selected. Vaughan and I had previously proposed in (6 ...
394. Confirmation of Dr Velikovsky's Theories Regarding Electromagnetic and Electrostatic Forces in Celestial Mechanics [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... their orbits..." Electromagnetic forces override gravitational during close planetary encounters, so it is noteworthy that Schultz & Srnka (on a smaller scale) speak of magnetising phenomena as a comet strikes the lunar surface. 2. It is 11th November 1980, and the Voyager I mission is being broadcast live from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Saturn has 15 moons (and counting?), and its ring system 300-500 divisions (and possibly 1000 or so). It seems obvious that satellite-Saturn-ring particle gravitational resonance is inadequate to account for the complex structure of the rings as found by Voyager I. Two elliptical rings have been discovered, also new moons revolving in association with the ...
395. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... himself has to say on the subject of angels and planets. G.5 .164 tells us that: "an old tradition states (Al Barceloni, 247) that each one of the seven planets has its own angel as follows : the sun has Raphael; Venus, Aniel: Mercury, Michael; the moon, Gabriel; Saturn, Kafziel; Jupiter, Zadkiel; Mars, Sammael," Here again, then, we have V ignoring things which don't square up with his hypotheses! Incidentally, the shakiness of V's Gabriel- Mars equation' is easily demonstrated, I think, as follows: The Greeks believed that Atlas supported the world; the Hindus that ...
396. Summing up [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... to his model of the brain, which in turn appear to be analogous to the Gaia hypothesis of the Earth [see also "The Same at Every Level" at www.flatrock.org.nz/resources/science_and_geography/fractal_evolution.htm] 3. Evidence I'm sure many people have found the Saturn Model compelling (the mythological evidence is overwhelming), but aspects of it are difficult to reconcile. The co-linear nature of the Earth-Mars-Venus-Saturn system being a case in point; the system appears to be inherently unstable, so how could it possibly have existed in our Solar System. The answer from the conference is that it is indeed unstable ...
397. The SIS Silver Jubilee Event, September 1999 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... first Chairman. Although quite a few of the earliest lights have come and gone the Tresmans are still well and truly with us, with son Ian now producing SIS Internet Digest. Harold was particularly pleased that this conference would be featuring the work of the Saturnists' as his earliest interest in Velikovsky's work was concerned with the latter's ideas about Saturn having been the Sun' of early myth, an idea that has not been pursued very much on this side of the Atlantic since Harold's initial article The Primordial Light' [SISR II:2 , Dec. 1977, pp. 35-40]. John Crowe then took us up to the coffee break with a review of the various ...
398. Venus' Atmosphere [Journals] [Pensee]
... sky (or filling the air) in the course of great discharges, as narrated in ancient sources (Old Testament and Homer among them), resulted from smashing two oxygen atoms into one atom of sulfur. I assumed that on Jupiter and on Venus, sulfur must be present; on Jupiter because it acquired much of the water of Saturn, after Saturn exploded, and in great thunderbolts converted the oxygen of the water into sulfur; and on Venus because it brought sulfur from its parental body, Jupiter, and also because in violent discharges it would fuse oxygen snatched from Earth's atmosphere or hydrosphere into sulfur. In July, 1955, I wrote to Professor Walter S. ...
399. Origin And Evolution Of Solar Systems [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of the various points of view from the several theories that is in better accord with present-day physical and chemical data."296 Nevertheless, Van Flandern has put his finger on the point which clearly will allow planets to be captured by the Sun from interstellar space. In this respect, I am discussing gas giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. What all discussions of planetary capture from interstellar space have overlooked is that, unlike the solar system, the orbits of stars and brown stars such as Jupiter, beyond a certain distance from the center of spiral galaxies do not have orbits that follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Inside the solar system planetary ...
400. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... a truth disclosure using an image which dramatically contrasted with rather than depicted the Judge of all the Earth. Can we not therefore see the religious intent of the Old Testament as providing a disclosure of God, not scaled-down pictures of Him? It is altogether too simplistic to assert that "God" of the Old Testament is "really" Saturn, or Jupiter, or Venus, or Mars. Certainly the celestial manifestations of some or all of these "powers" provided rich imagery and fertile model-making for God's work among the sons of men. And some of the models have been better than others, while some have been like weeds growing in fertile soil. But to suggest ...
