... ," or Byelorussian Jews, formed an important minority among the inhabitants of Amtchislav, as they called Mstislavl. Most Litvak communities of the time were dominated by charismatic, wonder-working zadikim, saintly Hasidic leaders who proclaimed an emotional, democratic form of Judaism. Although Hasidism promoted ardor and sincerity in worship above all else, in contrast to the traditional rabbinic emphasis on piety and learning, to some extent the Habad Hasidim of the region mediated between both modes of nineteenth-century Jewish life by founding their own yeshivot (training schools for rabbis). Although Mstislavl contained a sizable Habad Hasidim group, most of the Amtchislav Litvaks were Mitnaggedim (Opponents). The members of this sect were noted ...
332. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... the Storm-god. The second half of V's passage, based on Aston p.110, refers to a different episode of Japanese mythology, namely, the history' of Emperor Kami Yamato Ihare Biko, otherwise known as Jimmu Tenno. Geoffrey Parrinder, in his "Dictionary of Non- Christian Religions" (1971) writes: In Jananese tradition the first emperor of Japan, ruled from 660 BC. Everything after that date was accepted as historically true, though writing was not introduced until over a thousand years afterwards. It was said that Jimmu unified Japan and established its government under the guidance of the gods (Kami). Critical Japanese historians now date the emergence of the ...
333. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Articles]
... on a uniformitarian viewpoint of planetary history. While we do not necessarily subscribe to Velikovsky's reconstruction of events in the Solar System within historic times, we do recognize Velikovsky's central contribution in establishing the possible role of catastrophic events as an important aspect of any interpretation of the past .. . We would urge the scientific community, in the best tradition of free inquiry, to pursue with open mind the challenge presented by Velikovsky. Lynn Trainor (Physics Department, Toronto University), McMaster University symposium on Velikovsky, June 17, 1974 Worlds in Collision .. . will be seen as the first effort to present a truly cosmic history of our species....

334. Venus in Ancient Myth and Language: Part Two [Journals] [Aeon]
... ability to cast spells of both good and evil influence, the English word bewitch being a vestige of such beliefs. In many cases the spells of a witch were directly associated with the agency of binding. Like Venus, witches were credited with the ability to bind their victims with the pangs of love. The Devil himself, according to traditions current during the Middle Ages, was said to have been enwrapped in bonds spun by his mistress, a witch. (31) A common belief credited witches with the ability to control the winds and weather via magic knots: The art of tying up the wind in three knots, so that the more knots that are loosed the ...
335. Discussion Questions From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... : Aeon I:6 (1988) Home | Issue Contents Discussion & Questions From the Floor The Placement and Dating of Abraham SPEAKER: R. RUSSEL BIXLER- Gunnar Heinsohn's "Did the Sumerians and the Akkadians Ever Exist?" (AEON Vol. 1, No. 2) moved the biblical Abraham more than a millennium from his traditional date. This violent relocation of Abraham's period was required by the fact that Ur of the Chaldeans is dated so much later according to Heinsohn's revised chronology. However, the manuscript evidence that links Abraham to Ur is uncertain; many modern scholars reject it. Therefore, while the remainder of his thesis may be valid, Heinsohn has not ...
336. The Reconstruction of Cosmic History [Journals] [Aeon]
... Saturn has been eliminated from their model?(2 ) Have these two researchers really pursued their subject? Have they combed through the mythological lore of the nations? if they have, how could they have missed meeting with Saturn at almost every turn of the record? One is led to suspect that Patten and Windsor lean toward the Biblical tradition almost to the exclusion of every other record in existence. This is made evident by Patten's earlier works(3 ) in which the major emphasis lay on the evidence of the Old Testament. The record of past cosmic events, however, is universal and no particular tradition should be relied upon exclusively. Even so, the Biblical record ...

... din on the night following the day when the shadow of the sun returned ten degrees, are more specific: the scourge was inflicted by the Archangel Gabriel "in the guise of a column of fire." 2 In the present research it has been established that it was the work of Mars. Are archangels planets? "An old tradition, dating back to Gaonic times, had it that there are seven archangels, each of whom is associated with a planet."3 "The seven archangels were believed to play an important part in the universal order through thei r association with the planets and the constellations. There is some variation, in the different versions, in ...
338. Earth Magic: A Review by FRANCIS HITCHING [Journals] [Kronos]
... provided by local legends and to employ dowsers and other psychics to supplement the information supplied by archeology and mineralogy. In both France and England, rural folklore applies to menhirs, or upright monoliths, a collection of epithets such as "tingling," "twirling," "dancing," "rolling," and "healing". Tradition asserts that some stones change position, especially at night. And farmers report that their livestock react strongly to megalith arrangements, avoiding some but being salubriously affected by others. Psychics are even more responsive to megaliths, especially menhirs, all of which give them prickly sensations and a few of which jerk their bodies as with electric shocks. ...

His book begins with a general look at the Pyramid Age and its technological achievements, emphasising their abundant use of iron tools to carve the hard granite .. . '. Chapter 2 reviews the basis for the conventional chronologies and notes they depend almost entirely for their validity upon venerated literary tradition'. He then looks at the whole custom of pyramid building', which is seen as part of a worldwide genre of megalithic structures... ' which includes the ziggurats of Mesopotamia and Stonehenge. These were sacred temples dedicated to the celestial deities, and inspired by awesome natural events occurring early in the first millennium'. ...
340. AD Ages in Chaos: A Russian Point of View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and about the Book of Civilization. At the end, I would like to speak about Fomenko 1 and Fomenko 2 and about Velikovsky, Morosov and Russian historical criticism. My initial and not very good manuscript of the talk was corrected by Janek Pietron and I thank him for his assistance. First of all, some general statements: the traditional model of the past as presented in thousands and thousands of historical books is wrong. The question is how wrong it is and when the main phase of the creation of history stopped (if it ever stopped). The first question, What is History? ' is new in the programme of SIS and is a result of some ...
