... care of by Elisheva, Velikovsky's wife - might be somewhat disturbing, at least, useless. Also, I must confess that I myself had something to tell to Velikovsky which I suspected would make him very excited and might deflect his attention from what Alfred had to say. To use a mythological expression, I didn't want to still his thunder. Because as projects went with Velikovsky, Alfred's was a fairly big thunder. I remember feeling a little twinge of regret as I turned around to walk back home. Velikovsky had not written, or at least published, anything major for some years. He had advice from all sides to publish rather than to engage in polemics; ...
252. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The Greek "Aphrodite" had traits of an original moon goddess and had many alternative names in many cultures; furthermore she later become confused with Venus, the goddess, and also the planet Venus, which had its scores of god-names too [5 ]. Jupiter was himself but partly Saturn too; the Chinese "Saturn" was a thunderer who announced time by great noises, whereas the Greek "Saturn" gave time and was called Kronos (Chronos) and the Greek "Jupiter" was especially Zeus, the Lightning-hurler, who was also called the Thunderer. The Calendar is but a rough path chopped through the dense thicket of early history. THE NUMBER OF CATASTROPHES Plato ...

... did with his. With the birth of Zeus the cosmic battle entered upon a new stage. The phalanxes of the fighters had sundered. Here the Olympian gods leagued with a number of Titans, such as Okeanos, the girdle-tide, and with Cyclopes (the Round Eyed Ones'), such as Steropes, lightning, and Brontes, thunder. Their headquarters were in heaven. The siding of some of the earlier race with their nephews is quite natural. The other side consisted of the massed forces of the giants, Titans, and other enemies of the gods and of man. The Earth is in their hands and they want to scale heaven. But though they pile ...
254. New Physics Supports Planetary Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 17] who arrived at a time-scale for Venus to spiral into its present circular orbit from the vicinity of Jupiter or Saturn in the order of 100 years. When planets and moons are close enough, a more violent form of charge exchange may occur. It is then that the apocalyptic weapon of the planetary gods is unleashed - the interplanetary thunderbolt. If such events have truly occurred we should find evidence in the surface scars of planets and moons. What do we actually find? The planets provide an embarrassment of riches. Electrical scarring is ubiquitous in the solar system, from tiny meteorites to asteroids, moons and all planets with a solid surface. It becomes evident why the ...
... He says: "All individual beings were represented as proceeding from the essence of the universal deity by a mystical gencrutien, which is described under various types. Sometimes Jupiter is feigned to he both male and female, and is said to produce all things from himself. "Jupiter is the first, Jupiter the last, the ruler of thunder; Jupiter is the head and the middle; all things are produced of Jove. Jupiter is a male; Jupiter is an immortal nymph. ' "Hence the epithet, so often given to Jupiter, masculo-feminine. Tla, doctrine distinguished by this epithet is represented, by Damascius, as the fundamental principle of the Orphic philosophy. ...

... office, or profession. A robe was a gown, or vestment .. . during which solemn ceremonies might take place, sometimes of a strong religious significance. However, a link between deity and robes is not all that is implied as Germanic rauba is also the root of to rob and, variously, robber and to reave. Thunder The English word thunder' is believed to derive from the Anglo Saxon god Thunor and is etymologically akin to Celtic Tanaris, variously Taranis and Scandinavian Thor. A link may exist with Taur-us (the bull of heaven), and torre and even with Troy. According to Stephen Pollington (who runs a correspondence course on the basics of ...
257. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... It stretches a third of the way around the planet. But what in heaven can spiral galaxies have to do with the geology of Mars? In October 2001, I wrote "In light of more than a century's research in the field of plasma cosmology and the 20th century discoveries of the space age, we can confidently propose the celestial thunderbolt as a common cause of the formation of canyons and rilles on rocky planets and moons." At that time I had not come to any conclusion about the details of the electrical event that created the colossal Valles Marineris canyons on Mars. Like geologists, I use a process of pattern matching when attempting to understand the processes that may ...
... (xiv. 1) And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. (2 ) And I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard a voice of harpers harping with their harps. (3 ) And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song, but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. ...
259. Planetary Identities: II The Mythology of Homer [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Meanwhile, the celestial origin of Poseidon has long been suspected even though this has been partly deduced through a misunderstanding of his major emblem, the trident. For long, mythologists had looked upon Poseidon's trident as a fishing spear but, since a celestial origin would make this somewhat incongruous, they next opted for it being a symbol for the thunderbolt [12]. Present research tends to make this just as erroneous an interpretation. So that I will not be told that I am making too much of this object, allow me to remind my readers that the trident is as symbolic of Poseidon as the thunderbolt is of Zeus and the caduceus is of Hermes. Now in Part ...
260. Europa braided furrow [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , where discharges snake between the central sphere and the outer glass envelope, then imagine 3 spheres in a line inside the glass envelope with the discharges occurring between the two end spheres. The sphere in the centre would have the discharge filaments snaking across its surface. It represents Europa, which must have periodically gotten in the way of Jupiter's thunderbolts. (Europa presently orbits Jupiter in about 3.5 Earth days). Jupiter's thunderbolts were made up from Birkeland currents, braided rope-like discharges, twisted into a plasmoid shape. Europa would have offered a source of charged particles to enable the plasmoid to travel more easily through its region of space. The charged particles would have been ...
