The Zodiac: Comparison of the Ancient Greek Mythology and the Popular Romanian Beliefs
THE ZODIAC: COMPARISON OF THE ANCIENT GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND THE POPULAR ROMANIAN BELIEFS DOINA IONESCU *, FLORA ROVITHIS ** , ELENI ROVITHIS-LIVANIOU *** Abstract : This paper intends to draw a comparison between the ancient Greek Mythology and the Romanian folk beliefs for the Zodiac. So, after giving general information for the Zodiac, each one of the 12 zodiac signs is described. Besides, information is given for a few astronomical subjects of special interest, together with Romanian people believe and the description of Greek myths concerning them. Thus, after a thorough examination it is realized that: a) The Greek mythology offers an explanation for the consecration of each Zodiac sign, and even if this seems hyperbolic in almost most of the cases it was a solution for things not easily understood at that time; b) All these passed to the Romanians and influenced them a lot firstly by the ancient Greeks who had built colonies in the present Romania coasts as well as via commerce, and later via the Romans, and c) The Romanian beliefs for the Zodiac is also connected to their deep Orthodox religious character, with some references also to their history. Finally, a general discussion is made and some agricultural and navigator suggestions connected to Pleiades and Hyades are referred, too. Keywords : Zodiac, Greek, mythology, tradition, religion. PROLOGUE One of their first thoughts, or questions asked, by the primitive people had possibly to do with sky and stars because, when during the night it was very dark, all these lights above had certainly arose their interest. So, many ancient civilizations observed the stars as well as their movements in the sky.

The collections of Francillon, Drury, MacLeay, Sir J. Banks, and Donovan, contained almost all that was then known of Indian Entomo- logy, with which our Continental neighbours were then, as still, comparatively ignorant. To these collections, examined b}f Fabricius himself, Donovan had free access, and his figures of the insects therein contained, which had served as types for the descriptions of the Entomologist of Kiel, are especially valuable. The progress of Entomology, as a science, has so much advanced, as to render a that its republication of this work advisable ; at the same time, however, requiring original Linnasan style should not be retained, but that it should be brought down to the present state of science.

Martian Crater Morphology
ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

Introduction: A dark-toned marker bed is ob- pearance across the mound. Most of the sulfates served within the sulfates at Gale crater [1,2]. This above/below the marker bed are stratified, heavily marker bed is characterized by a dark-toned, smooth fractured, and erode into boulder-size blocks, but there surface that appears more indurated and retains more are examples where the sulfates appear massive with craters relative to the sulfate-bearing layers above and limited fracturing and no boulders eroding from the below it. The bed has a distinct physical appearance unit (Fig. 3a). from the sulfates in which it occurs, suggesting a change in the environment or geochemistry for a brief period of time within the depositional sequence that formed the sulfates or post-deposition alteration. In this study, we utilized HiRISE and CTX images to identify and map the occurrence of the marker bed throughout Aeolis Mons.

Verse in Fraser's Magazine
Curran Index - Table of Contents Listing Fraser's Magazine For a general introduction to Fraser's Magazine see the Wellesley Index, Volume II, pages 303-521. 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.

The Prophecy That Is Shaping History
The Prophecy That Is Shaping History: New Research on Ezekiel’s Vision of the End Jon Mark Ruthven, PhD Ihab Griess, PhD Xulon Press 11350 Random Hills Drive #800 Fairfax, Virginia 22030 Copyright Jon Mark Ruthven © 2003 In memoriam Pamela Jessie Ruthven PhD, LCSW 26 March 1952 – 9 April 2001 Wife, mother, and faithful friend i Preface Great events in history often gather momentum and power long before they are recognized by the experts and commentators on world affairs. Easily one of the most neglected but powerfully galvanizing forces shaping history in the world today is the prophecy of Gog and Magog from the 38th and 39th chapters of the book of Ezekiel. This prophecy from the Jewish-Christian Bible has molded geo-politics, not only with- in the United States and the West but also, to an amazing degree, in the Muslim world as well. It seems that, millennia ago, Ezekiel’s vision actually named the nation which millions today believe plays the major role in this prophecy: the nation of Russia. Many modern scholars have dismissed Ezekiel’s Gog and Magog prophecy as a mystical apocalypse written to vindicate the ancient claims of a minor country’s deity. The very notion of such a prediction—that semi-mythical and unrelated nations that dwelt on the fringes of Israel’s geographical consciousness 2,500 years ago would, “in the latter days,” suddenly coalesce into a tidal wave of opposition to a newly regathered state of Jews—seems utterly incredible to a modern mentality. Such a scenario, the experts say, belongs only to the fundamentalist “pop religion” of The Late, Great Planet Earth and of TV evangelists.

Urania, Ceremonial Magic of the Goddess By: Olivia Robertson
Fellowship of Isis - Online Liturgy http://www.fellowshipofisis.com Urania, Ceremonial Magic of the Goddess By: Olivia Robertson 5. 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.
