... in 1966 as Gammeraa the Invincible- the original double-m gave it more the appearance of gamma-ray. By striking Gamera with a giant needle, like a parody of the great thunderbolts exchanged between the head and tail of the Venus-Comet, Monster X wounds the turtle unto death and begins his systematic destruction of the city. Gamera, however, revives ...

174. Celestial fireworks [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... It has now been established, however, that this lightning picture was a form under which the deity of heaven itself appeared in a distant past. It was the mythical thunderbolt that fell from heaven. By analysing all sorts of mythical patterns I have found that the upper half of the symmetrical image corresponds to the heaven' and the lower ... of the Hero; the deity cast from heaven; the Hero's descent to the underworld; the culture Hero or the ancestor comes down from heaven to the earth; the thunder bird descends from heaven with the first fire.

175. Electricity [Books] [de Grazia books]
... distinction between common and mysterious fire. The First that serves man's use is one thing. The fire that ministers to the judgement of God is another, whether flashing the thunderbolts from the heaven or rushing up from the earth through the mountain tops. For it does not consume what it burns, but, even while it spends it, ... this charge, both gradually and in series of catastrophic discharges. Today, solar flares excite large surges in the flow of charge from upper atmosphere to ground. Too, thunderstorms may be principally a method of balancing the atmosphere-lithosphere equation by releasing ground electricity [6 ]. There persist certain phenomena that may reflect this decline of charge. All ...

... of the female principle, a symbol of conception and birth, an ancient trade mark, a mere ornament, a symbol of fire, a symbol of lightning, a thunderbolt, a symbol of water, an astronomical symbol, a symbol of the four castes of India, a religious or military standard or flag, a bird in flight ... been referred to as a "thunderbolt", but it is manifestly in the first place a symbol of the four cardinal points. The arrow-head projections suggest a connexion with thunder and rain. It should be compared with the so-called "Celtic Knot" similarly formed from the swastika, the points, however, being connected with curved instead of ...
177. Natural Catastrophes During Bronze Age Civilisations [Journals] [Aeon]
... thunder and lightning, but once the mechanism of these phenomena is explained and understood, that fear tends to disappear despite the fact that one may still get zapped by a thunderbolt. Like previous and present catastrophists, Matthews, too, invokes worldwide myths of a great flood and a judgment day which seem to indicate that something colossal must have ... a Newtonian mind-set in which the skies are considered to be safe because the cosmos is thought to function like clockwork. As Matthews said, children tend to be frightened by thunder and lightning, but once the mechanism of these phenomena is explained and understood, that fear tends to disappear despite the fact that one may still get zapped by a ...

... finds a complicated sentence; Hephaestus fashions a device to capture the secret lovers in flagrante delictu. No translator feels the need to indicate that the original meaning of akinon is thunderbolt, not anvil (from which sparks fly). It also means a meteoritic stone. The mundane word derives from the astral; the significant aspect here is not ... would have been easy to conceal catastrophe in one of Homers' famous similes.

... . The long-lived GRS on Jupiter may be associated with some underlying electrical inhomogeneity in the planet resulting from the catastrophic breakup of the Saturnian system. The many reports of Jovian thunderbolts attest to the probability that the giant planet may bear hidden electrical scars. Of course, the standard picture of the structure of Jupiter does not allow for a solid ... may be explained also by electrical energy input. That the Earth participates in this electrical circuit, in its own small way, is shown by the direct correlation between earthly thunderstorm activity and the sunspot cycle. The Great Red Spot (GRS) and white spots on Jupiter may have something in common with sunspots. All are probably the point ...

It is interesting that her summary of the hail and thunderstorm omits any mention of the fire mingled with the hail', fire that ran along the ground'.

She may have felt the fire' was typical of any severe electric storm - thunder necessarily involves lightning. Now lightning discharges occur between cumulo-nimbus clouds, or between earth and the base of such a cloud. Where earth forms one of the electrodes and ...
