1. In Memoriam: Roger Williams Wescott [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon VI:1 (Feb 2001) Home | Issue Contents In Memoriam: Roger Williams Wescott April 28, 1905 - November 21, 2000 L. M. Greenberg The passing of Roger Wescott this past November marked a major loss to the scholarly world at large and the Velikovsky camp in particular. A true polymath, Professor Wescott was a voracious reader and prolific author whose published works numbered in the hundreds. Equally at home in the fields of linguistics and anthropology, Professor Wescott was also eminently capable when it came to dealing with the subjects of catastrophism, myth, and prehistory. He was a consummate academician who founded various departments and programs along with serving ...
2. Celestial Rings [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:3 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Forum Celestial Rings Roger W. Wescott, from Southbury, Connecticut, writes: AEON deserves an accolade for having published Henry Zemel's paper on celestial rings [1 ] as the lead article in the last issue. Ever since the journal Stonehenge Viewpoint introduced me to the work of the late Isaac Vail, I have thought it likely that most solar planets, including our own, either have, or have had, ring systems. Vail's pioneering work has been undeservedly neglected by most catastrophists, with the notable exception of Milton Zysman whose "mirror dome" concept presupposes a vanished terrestrial ring. [2 ...
3. Quantalism: The Big Picture [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents Quantalism: The Big Picture Roger W. Wescott The assigned title of my oral presentation to the 1994 Kronia Symposium was "Velikovsky: The Big Picture." In it, I called attention to the etymological fact that Immanuel Velikovsky's surname is a patronymic derivative of the Russian adjective velik, "great." This Slavic word, in turn, comes, by way of Proto-lndo-European, from a reconstructed Nostratic root *wal-, "strong." [1 ] Among the English derivatives of this root are three words that come to us through Latin (rather than through early Germanic): valor ...

... report by Birgit C. Liesching. PAGE 15 Circling the Rings- by Henry Zemel A new hypothesis which proposes the one-time existence of rings composed of asteroidal debris surrounding the Sun in concentric bands, the slow shrinkage of which would have swept the ecliptic clear of such remnants.

5. Predicting the Past [Journals] [Aeon]
... be tied to celestial phenomena. The present work is a summation of Roger Wescott's thoughts regarding mythology, human prehistory, and catastrophism. Not only are the ideas presented in this work incendiary; they are also educative. But, beyond its considerable value for enlightenment, entertainment, and education, this book is also a tool of therapy. Wescott is, in every possible sense, reminding us of something we have lost and forgotten. As a cultural archaeologist, Wescott unearths and reassembles shards of memory that still persist in our languages, institutions, and myths. What is more, he surveys our prospects for revivifying at least some portion of our primordial wholeness. Richard Heinberg Hard ...
6. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... more about the amulet bearing the name of Beanu, and the Aquitanian coin, that Smith mentions, before I can accept the one as being as old as 2000 B.C ., and the other as old as the 2nd century B.C . I would therefore welcome any additional information on this particular subject. Roger W. Wescott, from Southbury, Connecticut, adds: Thanks for AEON V:1 . I appreciated the rich illustration of my Quantalism article. [8 ] And I was intrigued by Tania ta Maria's pithy inserts. Re Old Irish grian, that is "sun": There is no etymological mystery here. The word comes from Proto-Indo-European * ...
7. Aeonic Aphorisms [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:2 (Feb 1988) Home | Issue Contents Aeonic Aphorisms Roger Wescott CATASTROPHE AND PREHISTORY: Catastrophe is self-effacing. Each disaster obliterates not only the effects of its predecessor but the memories of its most vulnerable survivor-man. CATASTROPHE AND RELIGION: As all history is case-history, all cults are crisis-cults. CONSENSUALISM: Consensus generates a false sense of cognitive security-and nowhere more than in academia. CONSENSUS: The smugness of consensus is the courage of mobs. DOUBT AND DOGMA: Every doubt becomes a dogma and must be doubted in turn. EDUCATION: Education involves making sporadically explicit what is continually implicit. FOCUS: Conventional science is a futile effort to see everything ...
8. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... only right and proper that we give credit where credit is due and remember that if it were not for the author of Worlds in Collision, most of us would still be subscribing to the fairy tale version of the history of the solar system as promulgated by the Carl Sagans of the world. ON THE ORIGIN OF LANGUAGE Roger W. Wescott, from Southbury, Connecticut, writes: To anyone who has been long involved in the investigation of language origins, Strickling's brief article on the subject (5 ) must be disappointing. To begin with, by entitling it "The Origin of Language," (emphasis mine), Strickling begs the perennial question of whether languages have ...
9. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... (62) In view of his Apollo/Baal equation, it is amazing that Patten missed the greater phonetic similarity between "Hobal" and "Apollo." This is a similarity that had already been noted by others who saw in Apollo "a Hellenic double of the Arab god Hobal." (63) Besides, as Roger Wescott has recently indicated to me, if the tri-literal root of "Apel" can be said to be PL, it may be looked upon as a variant of the HBL of "Hobal." (64) This tentative derivation, however, rests on the supposition that Apollo is of Near Eastern origin which, as F. Guirand ...

11. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... it seems to me that my error was pardonable. In any case, I am happy to have the record set straight: My role as consultant (which has been somewhat informal in any case) has involved Kronia Communications rather than AEON. I assume from what Cardona had to say that I may also have misunderstood the role of Roger Wescott, the linguist to whom I was referring, and the roles of the other two linguists referred to (Marinus van der Sluijs, from the Netherlands, and Josephine Bacon, from the U.K .) However, I am not sure of this, and I leave it to Cardona to clarify these points if he thinks that ...

Page 87 Velikovksy and the Problem of Planetary Identification Ev Cochrane, associate editor of KRONOS, explains why it is sometimes difficult to identify the planets among the gods.

14. Darkness and the Deep [Journals] [Aeon]
... their ancient forebears who had lived close enough to Saturn to have seen the planet's satellites with their own unaided eyes. 2. The Solitary God Tresman's and Newgrosh's finest disclosure was that "there is every indication that this original deity [Saturn] was at one time the only visible planetary body of the heavens." (16) Roger Wescott, on the basis of his own research, came to the same conclusion: "The sky, instead of being dominated alternately by the Sun and the Moon, was constantly dominated by a single huge and luminous body, here called Aster." (17) David Talbott has also focused attention on this topic. As he had ...

The glib and slipshod nature of Carl Sagan's critique is repeatedly and tellingly exposed."- Roger W. Wescott, Professor of Anthropology, Drew University.

It is the only way we can reach more people. That, if anything, is AEON's agenda. MORE ON THE ORIGIN OF MAN AND LANGUAGE Roger W. Wescott, from Southbury, Connecticut, writes: I appreciate and admire the moderate tone of James Strickling's response (1 ) to my critique (2 ) of his article on the origin of language. (3 ) And I regret that I failed to note his core argument that speech, as opposed to non-vocal manual signing, was probably ...
18. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... and Paradise. [41] The name Paradise is derived from the Greek paradeisos, which word is used to translate the Hebrew Gan Eden in the Septuagint version of the Old Testament. The Greek paradeisos, in turn, is derived from the ancient Persian pairidaeza (* paridaizas), which translates as "enclosure" or, as Roger Wescott has it, "literally, something roundly shaped'." [42] What was this enclosure? The Persian myth of the Golden Age has Yima, the same as the Hindu Yama, an avowed personification of Saturn, [43] ruling in Paradise [44] and enclosing his vara- i.e . his " ...
19. On the Nature of Natural Selection and Speciation [Journals] [Aeon]
... . But there is more to be said on this matter. The idea of speciation by natural selection is also faulted from a conceptual perspective. Not only is it physically unproven, it is, as I shall attempt to show in a further installment, philosophically unsound as well. AUTHOR'S NOTE: My sincere thanks to Dwardu Cardona and Roger Wescott for their invaluable comments on the early drafts of this paper. References 1. P.L . Stein & B.M .

... Diplodocus, and Triceratops may all have been mammals (p . 92). Furthermore, Velikovsky wrote: "The large pelvis of brontosaurus suggests that this monster might have have given birth to its young and did not lay eggs" (emphasis added). Despite some terminological errors and a confusion of typology with phylogeny, Roger W. Wescott, a Professor of Anthropology, found Velikovsky's essay to be "an otherwise brilliant insight...not just years but decades ahead of the specialists- in this case, the herpetologists" (KRONOS II:3 , pp. 84-85). Years later, in the August 1988 issue of Discover (Vol. 9, No ...

... of religion," but doesn't this imply that, as we gradually come to a better understanding of what it was that started the religious balls rolling, as it were, it is inevitable that fundamentalists, whether Biblical, Koranic, Vedic or whatever, will be increasingly criticized and with good reason? Will we not increasingly, as Roger Wescott does in his "Religious Ruminations" definition of "ritual," see every ceremony as a "miniature theater of the absurd?" There is a sense in which religious toleration could be said to militate against the very peace it is supposed to promote insofar as it provides fuel for religious antagonists to wallow in sectarian differences, thus ...
