D U N L A P , In the Clerk’s Oflice of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of N ew York. W. H. Tmsox, Stereotypor. PREFACE. THE growing power of the infant Gnosticism acting with inspiration upon the quick warm nature of the Jordan N azarenes laid the seed which, nourished by the accumulated Wisdom of the illustrious teachers of the Pharisees, ultimately ripened into the New Testament—the priceless pearl of the Jewish concep tion. The earliest Gnosticism in Irenzeus extends a hand to the Gnosticism of the Kabbala. Irenwus’s Gnostica, the Codex Nasaraeus, the oldest parts of Kabbala, the first three chapters of Genesis, the New Testament theology, Hippolytus, and some extracts from the Rabbins, all are brought together. Although the Codex Nazaraeus is dated the year 1042 some of its material is much earlier}; thus some of it is found in Irenmus (in the second cen tury), some in the Kabbala, and some seems to belong to traditions or myths connected with the patriarchal names in Genesis. The basis of the material common to Irenaeus and the Codex N asar aeus must be at least as early as the first century; ' Ill iv . PREFACE. for time was needed to produce so many different doctrinal systems: and if they were collected in the second century some of them must have been formed previously. The early rabbinical period seems to have mostly passed out of record ; excepting the Old Testament and some other works; its books are destroyed, its systems and philosophical dogmas forgotten. It is the same with Babylonian treatises and systems. They have perished. But because they are not all within reach it will not do to reason as if they never had existed! We want other testimony besides partisan Christian and Jewish! The reader’s attention is now called to the Essene and Nazarene Glad Tidings. _-_I——_ ERRATA T0 VOL. II. l'p. vii, viii (interlenf).

Having put on a mortal form I entered Jerusalem and speaking with my voice I held meetings, curing the sick, curing the sick, therefore everlasting Physi cian I was called, Medicus justitiae, curing yet taking no pay: which my sick (when they had) gone into the Jordan I baptized—Codex Nasaraeus, II. 301. This is the Hidden Doctrine, discourse and treatise which the MESSENGER OF LIFE has set before the men distinguished for good action, and before all the fam ily 0f Adam.—Ibid., II. 75. Preach the word of Life that it may cause those that lie down to stand up. Give them mysterious words by which they may be taught. Interpret for them the Great LIFE, speak concerning the assemblies of Life, and iistruct N azoria living in the world, that they put on ro es of splendor and, following Thee, go above! Give us wisdom that those N azoria may rise and pray to the Lords. Inform them concerning the creatures of Light and the secret abodes in which these Lords sit. Inform them about the Aeons, inform them also concerning the celestial Crown which is placed in its own habitation of the LIFE supreme.”—C0de:c Nas., II. 305. There is a point on the map from which procedes the religious history of the last eighteen hundred years.

Poetry was not included in the original Wellesley Index, an absence lamented by Linda Hughes in her influential article, "What the Wellesley Index Left Out: Why Poetry Matters to Periodical Studies," Victorian Periodicals Review, 40 (2007), 91-125. As Professor Hughes notes, Eileen Curran was the first to attempt to remedy this situation in “Verse in Bentley’s Miscellany vols. 1-36,” VPR 32 (1999), 103-159. As one part of a wider effort on the part of several scholars to fill these gaps in Victorian periodical bibliography and attribution, the Curran Index includes a listing of verse published in Fraser's Magazine from 1831 to 1854.

    1 This novel is dedicated to Vivian Towlerton For the memories of good times past 2 This novel was written mostly during the year 2010 CE whilst drinking the fair-trade coffee provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington Most of the research was conducted during the year 2010 CE upon the free Wi-Fi provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington. My thanks to management and staff. It was good. 3 Excerpt from Legends of the West: Spotted Tail said, “Now, let me tell you the worst thing about the Wasicu, and the hardest thing to understand: They do not understand choice...” This caused a murmur of consternation among the Lakota. Choice was choice. What was not there to not understand? Choice is the bedrock tenet of our very view of reality. The choices a person makes are quite literally what makes that person into who they are. Who else can tell you how to be you? One follows one’s own nature and one’s own inner voice; to us this is sacrosanct. You can choose between what makes life beautiful and what makes life ugly; you can choose whether to paint yourself in a certain manner or whether to wear something made of iron — or, as was the case with the famous Cheyenne warrior Roman Nose — you could choose to never so much as touch iron. In battle you choose whether you should charge the enemy first, join the main thrust of attack, or take off on your own and try to steal his horses.

Earth Magic of Transmutation ORACLE OF THE GODDESS HERTHA PRIESTESS: Divine Mother Goddess Hertha, we sing thy praise, we glorify Thy creation. "From a cracked egg's lower fragment Now the solid earth She fashioned. From the cracked egg's upper fragment, Rose the lofty arch of Heaven. From the yolk, the upper portion Now became the sun's bright lustre; From the white, the upper portion. Rose the Moon that shines so brightly; Whatso in the egg was mottled, Now became the Stars in Heaven. When the ninth year had passed over, And the summer tenth was passing, From the sea Her Head She lifted, And Her Forehead She uplifted, And She then began Creation, And She brought the world to order, On the open ocean's surface, On the far extending waters. Whereso'ere Her Hand She pointed, There She formed the jutting headlands; When towards the land She turned Her, There the level shores extended." ORACLE: Whenever the longing heart turns to the Mother, there I take up My abode. I am the Hearth Fire, the Heart of Life, and the secure earth that is your home. And this my hearth is one and yet manifold throughout the galaxies. Honour your home, the earth, not for its greatness, but for its littleness. For in this matrix is your protection. Be as my children the animals, the birds and the plants. For they die not but live forever in My everlasting home.

  • Greek Gods/Mythology Notes - Information on the Greek Belief System Comes from Many Sources
    Greek Gods/Mythology Notes - Information on the Greek belief system comes from many sources. Unlike followers of religions such as Christianity, Judaism, & Islam, the Greeks did not have a single sacred text, such as the Bible or Koran from which their beliefs and religious practices derived. Instead, they generally used oral traditions, passed on by word of mouth, to relate sacred stories. Priest and priestesses to various gods would also guide people in worship in various temples across Greece. We know something about these beliefs because Greek poets such as Homer, Hesiod and Pindar, and Greek dramatists such as Euripides, Aristophanes & Sophocles mention the myths in their various works. Greek mythology, however, was not static- it was constantly changing and evolving. Thus, there are often many different versions (and some that are contradictory toward one another) of the various Greek myths. Thus, some of the example myths you read in here may differ from ones you have previously heard. It does not necessarily make either version “wrong”- simply different. - The Greeks had many Gods & Goddesses- over three thousand if one were to count the many minor gods and goddesses. These deities made up the Greek pantheon, a word used to mean all the gods and goddesses (from the Greek word “pan” meaning all, and “theos” meaning gods). However, throughout Greece, there were always twelve (called the Twelve Olympians) that were the most important. They are: 1. Zeus 2. Hera 3. Poseidon 4. Athena 5. Apollo 6. Artemis 7. Hephaestus 8. Ares 9. Hermes 10. Aphrodite 11. Demeter 12. Dionysus 13.

  • Greco-Roman Gods and Goddesses
    GRECO -ROMAN GODS AND GODDESSES THE OLYMPIANS : THE “T WELVE ” Of the many major and minor gods in the Olympian dynasty the most important are the Twelve, a group chosen by the Greeks themselves as the key figures in the Olympian group and the basis for most of their religious observances. Greek law is also to some extent derived from the concept of the Twelve, and Greeks in both court proceedings and in ordinary conversation took their oath “by the Twelve.” The divinities constituting this group were: Zeus (Jupiter, Jove) Leader of the Olympians, god of lightening, and representative of the power principle. Hera (Juno) Wife of Zeus and goddess of marriage and domestic stability. Poseidon (Neptune) God of the sea. Often called “the earth shaker,” possibly because the Greeks attributed earthquakes to marine origin. Hades (Pluto, Dis) God of the Underworld and presider over the realm of the dead. Also connected with the nature myth by his marriage to Persephone (Proserpine), who spent half of her time on earth (the growing season) and half in the underworld (the winter period). Hades does not represent death itself, that function being relegated to a lesser divinity Thanatos. Pallas Athena, Athena (Minerva) Goddess of wisdom, but also associated with many other concepts from warfare to arts and crafts. Her birth was remarkable, since she sprang fully-armed from the forehead of Zeus. She was the patron goddess of Athens and to the Athenians represented the art of civilized living. Phoebus Apollo Son of Zeus and Leto, daughter of the Titans Krios and Phoebe.

    Advanced Placement Tool Box Mythological Allusions –Classical (Greek), Roman, Norse – a short reference • Achilles –the greatest warrior on the Greek side in the Trojan war whose mother tried to make immortal when as an infant she bathed him in magical river, but the heel by which she held him remained vulnerable. • Adonis –an extremely beautiful boy who was loved by Aphrodite, the goddess of love. By extension, an “Adonis” is any handsome young man. • Aeneas –a famous warrior, a leader in the Trojan War on the Trojan side; hero of the Aeneid by Virgil. Because he carried his elderly father out of the ruined city of Troy on his back, Aeneas represents filial devotion and duty. The doomed love of Aeneas and Dido has been a source for artistic creation since ancient times. • Aeolus –god of the winds, ruler of a floating island, who extends hospitality to Odysseus on his long trip home • Agamemnon –The king who led the Greeks against Troy. To gain favorable wind for the Greek sailing fleet to Troy, he sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia to the goddess Artemis, and so came under a curse. After he returned home victorious, he was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus. • Ajax –a Greek warrior in the Trojan War who is described as being of colossal stature, second only to Achilles in courage and strength. He was however slow witted and excessively proud. • Amazons –a nation of warrior women. The Amazons burned off their right breasts so that they could use a bow and arrow more efficiently in war.

  • Urania's Lament and Lessons Learned
    Cosmophobia: Urania’s Lament and Lessons Learned by Kristine Larsen INTRODUCTION It will come as no surprise that the world did not end on December 21, 2012. No rogue asteroid slammed into our planet, no humongous solar flare evaporated our atmosphere, and the planet did not catastrophically flip over on its axes. The next day holiday shopping still needed to be completed, bills demanded to be paid, and deadlines still loomed. Tourists began leaving Mexican and Central American archaeological sites, their wallets lightened and perhaps their spirits lifted (Sood 2012). In China, a carpenter who had spent his entire family savings on fine food and wine in the days prior to the 21st was probably trying to apologize to his now-estranged pregnant wife, and two cousins who had gone on a pre-apocalypse crime spree were probably rethinking the wisdom of their recent life choices (Zhong 2012). In the wake of the non-end of the world, the only casualties seem to have been some gullible persons’ bank accounts, and the UNESCO World Heritage site Temple II in the Mayan metropolitan center of Tikal, which suffered unspecified damage when tourists illegally climbed its ancient steps (AFP 2012).
