  • DUES for 2017 WERE DUE in JANUARY (Please Use the Form at the End of the Newsletter)
    Southwest Florida Archaeological Society (SWFAS) February 2017 Newsletter PRESIDENT’S CORNER by John Furey KORESHAN STATE HISTORIC SITE All of us are aware of the tragic end of the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas and its leader David Koresh. Well Estero, Florida had a religious cult and a Koresh in 1894 long before Waco, Texas. Most of us have heard of Koreshan State Historic Site, driven past the signs to it location in Estero, Florida; but how many of us have visited the site and know the background and story behind its founding and significance. Again, Koreshan State Historic Site, like many of the archaeological sites I have recently spotlighted in the SWFAS Newsletters, is a local attraction that has a unique historical narrative. Koreshan is the story of Cyrus Teed, a physician and the founder of a religious cult, who in 1869, after a serious electric shock claimed divine inspiration and became a religious leader and messiah. Originally founded in New York, he eventually moved his commune to Estero, FL and founded the Koreshan Unity as his “New Jerusalem”. I have included a number of articles about Teed and his movement in this Newsletter to acquaint you with this local landmark and its history. I Hope you find it interesting. I wonder what was happening in New York in the 1800’s to create so many cult-like religious movements. It must have been fertile ground in those isolated Central and Western New York rural farming communities prior to the Civil War. Cyrus Teed formed the Koreshans. Mother Ann founded the Shakers (Shaking Quakers) that began their movement in England but moved to New Lebanon, New York in 1861.

  • Koreshanity Is Antichrist"
    The Cellular Cosmogony Index http://www.sacred-texts.com/earth/cc/ Sacred Texts Earth Mysteries The Cellular Cosmogony by Koresh [pseud. Cyrus Reed Teed] [1922] Contents Start Reading We start our series of etexts of alternative theories of the shape of the earth with this masterpiece of pseudoscience by Cyrus Teed. Why Teed was so adamant about our entire universe being inside an 'inside-out' sphere is unknown. Martin Gardner, in Fads and Fallacies , has suggested that it was based on a desire to return to the womb, and that this psychological aspect was key in recruiting new members to Teed's belief system. Teed, born in 1839 in upstate New York, served with the Union Army, and later became a herbalist and studied alchemy. In 1869 Teed had a vision in his laboratory, in which a beautiful woman spoke to him and revealed that he was to become a messiah, and reveal the true cosmogony to the world. Teed took the name Koresh (not to be confused with David Koresh of Waco). He preached that belief in the concavity of the Earth is equivalent to godliness. He proclaimed, "All that is opposed to Koreshanity is antichrist". After touring widely preaching Koreshanity, he settled in Chicago, and started a communal society, as well as a periodical, The Flaming Sword . Koreshanity, at its height, had a few thousand followers. In the 1890s Teed founded the town of Estero, Florida, near Ft. Meyers, and declared it the coming capital of the world. His followers prepared for eight million believers to show up.

The interview took place in Ojai, California, and was conducted by Elaine Levin for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview ELAINE LEVIN: We're in the Heino's home in Ojai, talking with Otto Heino, looking out at their lovely garden and pepper trees. OTTO HEINO: Peppers, and the two in front are almond trees. ELAINE LEVIN: Almond trees that are in flower. I want to start with you because I've never really heard much about your own personal background, your family background. I know you were born in East Hampton, Connecticut in 1915, is that right? What about your family? OTTO HEINO: My family came over to visit. They were fifteen and thirteen. They came to visit and they never went back. They landed in Boston, Massachusetts. ELAINE LEVIN: Was this your father? OTTO HEINO: Yes. My father and my mother went to the Finnish community. They have a little community in Boston. My father was a drummer, so he played every Saturday night in a Finnish band. That's how they met. ELAINE LEVIN: Was that his occupation? OTTO HEINO: No, he just played the drums on weekends.

The first Toby, which resembled a merry old soul holding a foaming jug of ale, evidently originated sometime between 1760 and 1770 in Staffordshire, England. Some say it was inspired by Sir Toby Belch, a cheerful, carousing character in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Some trace it to a local boozer dubbed Toby Philpot, famed for his enormous consumption of home-brewed Yorkshire stingo — strong , bitter beer. Others cite The Brown Jug, a 1761 song celebrating a heavy tippler whose ashes were turned into a Toby: Dear Sir this brown jug, which now foams with mild ale, Out of which I now drink to sweet Kate of the vale, Was once Toby Philpot, a thirsty old soul, As e’er crack’d a bottle or fathom’d a bowl. Yet vessels like these, featuring stylized, human-like characteristics, were known since ancient times. Scores, used for ritual, cooking, or storage, have been found around the Mediterranean Basin, in Africa, and South America. Like Tobies, their materials, shapes, styles, and subjects reflect their lives and times.
