... material that hints of such variations. The "King's Quair" (King's Poem) is a poem that King James I of Scotland may have composed in 1424 while a prisoner in the Tower of London. The gist of the poem James' Venus-induced reverie - will not concern us here. Rather, we shall concentrate on the poem's first seven lines, the prologue to James' reverie: "Heigh in the hevynnis figure circulere The rody sterres twynklyng as the fyre; And in Aquary, Citherea the clere, Rynsid hir tressis like the goldin wyre, That late to fore in fair and fresch atyre Through Capricorn heved hir hornis bright North northward approchit the mydnyght." The ...
202. Night of the Gods: Axis Myths [Books]
... treasure should be found in his tent, and that he should have his fall, his doom of the gods, by being precipitated into the Cosmic Ocean. The name is probably that of the Old Central-God. (See Me-Deus). Palai(o )polis in the island of Andros had a magic fountain whose water became wine for seven days at the beginning of the year, in January. It was a temple-miracle this; and the wine re-became water if taken out of the sacred precincts. So was the suspicious inspector then dished by the wily. Palm here is clearly'"old." Paleia was also a name of the town Dymae, a very archaic ...
203. The Spiral and Birth [Books]
... ask what is the uttermost end of the earth; this sacrifice is the navel of the world (II, 138). Agni placed his strength upon the navel of the world17 (II, 76). Present oblations in the three high places upon the navel of the Earth (II, 218). "Those which are the Seven Rays, in them is my nave expanded" (I , 272) may refer to the Great Bear constellation the navel of the northern sky which controls the winds and the seasons. Brahma was supposed, according to a well-known Hindu cult or myth, to have had his origin in a lotus which grew out of the navel of ...

... ., contains a story that differs in local details but otherwise seems very much the same. Again the cause is perceived as divine anger and the effects are described as a natural calamity of storm, violent earthquakes and flooding of the land. "Even the gods were terrified" at the scene of destruction, made more vivid by the seven judges of hell who "raised their torches, lighting the land with their livid flame." The hero braved the unknown deep in an ark to save his family, the craftsmen, and, in this case, all the animals of the homeland. The parallels in the Hotu-Matua myth to this epic, to our own story of ...
205. Pharaoh Seti the Great and His Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... my method of analysis of Seti's Cenotaph* at Abydos. The thesis to be established in subsequent sections is firmly stated here, namely that Seti is proximate to the Assyria of Assurbanipal (668-627 B. C.) and only about two centuries anterior to Plato. I have been able to connect the cosmogony of Seti's cenotaph unambiguously with The Seven Tablets of Creation** of Assurbanipal. This is demonstrated in detail in Part II; in Part III the Timaeus of Plato is proven to be a thoroughly Egyptian document, and the indebtedness of Plato to Pythagoras is shown not to be the sole nexus between Plato and Egypt. Indeed, a connection is traced between Seti's sarcophagus inscription ...
206. Venus As the Dove [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... ground; "But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. "And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; "And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. "And he stayed yet other seven days; and ...
207. Child of Saturn (Part IV) [Journals] [Kronos]
... ) The equation of Agni with Saturn has been treated in an earlier section of this serialization.(31) In addition, Roger Ashton has amassed a vast amount of evidence in favor of this equation.(32) From his monumental compendium I offer the following: One of the lesser known names of Agni was Saptan-Amshuh, which means seven rays or beams of light.(33) A near-identical name, Saptan-Archis, which also translates as seven rays of light, is actually one of the Indic names of Saturn.(34) Both appellations are long-forgotten allusions to the seven rings which surrounded Saturn in primeval times.(35) As an alias of Agni, and ...
208. From the Coming of Titus to besiege Jerusalem to the Great Extremity to which the Jews were reduced [Books]
... a place called Seopus; from whence the city began already to be seen, and a plain view might be taken of the great temple. Accordingly, this place, on the north quarter of the city, and joining thereto, was a plain, and very properly named Scopus, [the prospect,] and was no more than seven furlongs distant from it. And here it was that Titus ordered a camp to be fortified for two legions that were to be together; but ordered another camp to be fortified, at three furlongs farther distance behind them, for the fifth legion; for he thought that, by marching in the night, they might be tired, ...

... . The Don's waters steam; Babylonian Euphrates burns; the Ganges, Phasis, Danube, Alpheus boil; Spercheos' banks are aflame. The golden sands of Tagus melt in the intense heat, and the swans . . . are scorched. . . . The Nile fled in terror to the ends of the earth . . . the seven mouths lie empty, filled with dust; seven broad channels, all without a stream. The same mischance dries up the Thracian rivers, Hebrus and Strymon; also the rivers of the west, the Rhine, Rhone, Po and the Tiber. . . . Great cracks yawn everywhere. . . . Even the sea shrinks up ...
... similarity in the words Anu, Anim and An results merely from a coincidence, but it is certainly singular that the most ancient temples in Lower Egypt (Heliopolis and Denderah) should be called Annu or An [9 ] if there be no connection with the Babylonian god Anu. With regard to Anubis, it is quite certain that the seven stars in Ursa Minor make a very good jackal with pendent tail, as generally represented by the Egyptians (see page 276), and that they form the nearest compact constellation to the pole of the ecliptic. The worship of Anubis as god of the dead, or the night god, whether associated with the Babylonian Anu or not ...
