... n. 6) gives the names of three heroes who make a country sterile: Morgan Mwynvawr, Run, son of Beli, and Llew Llaw Gyffes, who turn the ground red. Nothing grew for a year, herb or plant, where they passed: Arthur was more rudvawr' than they. Where Arthur had passed, for seven years nothing would grow." Rudvawr means "red ravager," as we learn from Rachel Bromwich (Trioedd Ynys Prydein: The Welsh Triads [J961J, p. 35). Seven years was the cycle of the German Wild Hunter; Arthur was a Wild Hunter, too. The "Waste Land" is, moreover, ...
642. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Europe that week, Wednesday the 2nd of September (Julian) was followed by Thursday the 14th of September (Gregorian). From Saturday the 16th of September 1752 the Sabbath has remained, as ever, the seventh day of the week. Calendar changes in the Soviet Union, for example, have not interrupted the succession of Sabbaths every seven days. The World Calendar might serve the interests of business, but it would certainly cause grave difficulties for observers of the Fourth Commandment. Unlike all previous calendar revisions in the Christian era, it would break the seven-day cycle. Speculation should not be stifled - even when it offends some individual philosophies. Our Society need not be considered ...
643. "Crowned with Every Rite". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... the elder of the two, reigned first; after a year he handed over the throne to Eteocles and left the kingdom, returning to claim the crown when it was his turn to reign again. However, Creon, the regent, encouraged the boy king to reject his brother's rightful claim and to keep the throne for himself. The Seven against Thebes is laid in the time when Eteocles was king of Thebes and his brother Polynices had come with an allied foreign host and was attacking the city. And strange is the Lord of Division, who cleaveth the birthright in twain . . . , Dividing in bitter division the lot of the children of teen! Not the wide ...
644. Solomon, The Exodus and Abraham Related to Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 28] was Imhotep, the Vizier of Zoser of the 3rd Dynasty [29] Joseph comes at about the correct time according to the revision, and parallels between the biblical account of Joseph and the Egyptian records of Imhotep are striking: a) They both seem to have been second only to Pharaoh [30]. b) Joseph's seven year famine is matched by the legend of a seven year famine in Imhotep's time [31]. However it must be pointed out that the stele concerned dates from the much later Ptolemaic Period. c) Both had strong ties with On (Heliopolis). Joseph was given the priest of On's daughter as wife [Genesis 41: ...
645. New Archaeological Dates for the Israelite Conquest Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Monarchy.27 Finally, while placing the exodus and conquest at the end of the Early Bronze Age does solve some problems in correlating biblical accounts of the conquest with the results of archaeology, it doesn't produce perfect harmony between the two. The accompanying chart (Figure 3) lists fourteen cities whose identifications are virtually certain. Of these, seven (Dibon, Jericho, Ai, Lachish, Bethel, Hazor, and Dan) seem to have been occupied in EB III and probably were destroyed at the end of that era. Possibly Arad could be added to that number if the date of its destruction can be moved from the end of EB II to the end of EB ...
646. The Origin and Decay of the Earth's Geomagnetic Field [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the distance cubed. The large but distant Callisto and Ganymede don't do much. Thus, as big as Jupiter is, and with more (and larger) satellites than the Earth, its planetary magnetic field is only 14 times greater. Saturn's case is similar. Saturn has a mass 92 times the Earth's. It has a passel of seven small (or distant) satellites- seven weak sisters that generate modest tides. And the giant Saturn has a field even weaker than the Earth's. This essay maintains that (a ) Saturn's magnetic field is driven by tides caused by its satellites, and (b ) if Saturn's satellites were to vanish suddenly, so would its magnetic ...

... divine by hanging the head on the breast, and looking fixedly at the navel, where all the powers of the soul concentre, until a commencing obscurity at length suddenly flashed into dazzling light. The monks of Mount Athos had no monopoly of this strange occupation. In Wilson's Rig Veda is the following passage: "Those which are the Seven Rays, in them is my navel expanded" (i , 272), a text which may have mystic reference to the seven bright stars of Ursa Major, and also to the adjoining northern polar navel of heaven, as well as to the actual navel of the human or divine meditater.73 The placing of the soul in ...

... the volumes. Anyway, the students who are generally not familiar with the Book of Revelation as most people are not, are rather amazed when they get in there and they see the imagery of it. Let me give you just a couple of examples. Speaking about the days when he will return, "And in the midst the seven candlesticks stands one like the Son of man, clothed in a long robe and a golden girdle about his breast; his head and his hair were white as wool, and his eyes like a flame of fire" (Rev. 1:13,14)- notice the Venus comet imagery. "And in his right hand ...

... Earth's orbit around the Sun. There have been great changes in the latitudes of the climatic zones. The Sahel moved 1000km further north between 18,000 and 8,000 years ago, but 600 km further south between 6000 years ago and the present. There are also smaller cycles of rainfall; the biblical story of Joseph tells of seven good years followed by seven of drought and the Sahel drought of 1968-73 was followed by six years of rain. Records of the Nile floods over the last 2000 years indicate an intermediate cycle of 135 years. Cool coal New Scientist 22-29.12.90, p. 13 Scientists have generally assumed that a narrow tropical region of the ...
650. Plato And The Catastrophist Tradition [Journals] [Kronos]
... , and Earth alike are "gods": that is, animate beings, bodies having a source of rational motion within themselves. The characteristic motion of each "god" is axial rotation in a single place! which Timaeus calls "the most perfect motion". The cosmos is portrayed as geocentric. The Earth is surrounded by the seven planetary orbits, and the solar system is surrounded by the spherical aetherial field of fixed stars, itself a "god". All the celestial bodies revolve around the Earth with a motion that is actually a compound of two motions, "the Same" and "the Different," joined together at the outside of the cosmos, ...
