  • CERN Pt. 6 Cernunnos.Wps
    CERNunnos resurrected for CERN In CERN pt. 4 we learned about the tomb of a Celtic Prince in France. What was unearthed was the river deity Acheloos. Cernunnos is yet another horned deity. He is also a hunter like Nimrod. “ Cernunnos is the conventional name given in Celtic studies to depictions of the "horned god" (sometimes referred to as Hern the Hunter) of Celtic polytheism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cernunnos Cernunnos: He is depicted with rings on his horns due to the association with torcs. This horned god is associated with rings. “often seated cross-legged and often associated with animals and holding or wearing torcs” What we see with Cernunnos is an allusion to CERN not only within his name, but also his association with rings. A typical torc: In the name Cernunnos we see the anagram “No Sun Cern”. I would say this refers to the fact that the Antichrist is NOT the authentic Sun or Son of God. What we also see is “Nu Son CERN“ and this relates to the “Nu 8 man” discussed in CERN pt. 2, the Shiva monkey god Hanuman! Interesting coincidence. The theme of a two horned deity is ancient and can be seen in many cultures. Pan: The Roman deity Faunus: And don’t forget this one! The two horned theme is associated with Shiva as Shiva Pashupati and thus ties in with CERNunnos as yet another horned deity. The horned deity Shiva whose image is located at CERN is most likely due to the affiliation with masculine/feminine seen with Shiva/Shakti.

  • Thomas Hardy
    Published on Great Writers Inspire (http://writersinspire.org) Home > Thomas Hardy Thomas Hardy Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), novelist and poet, was born on 2 June 1840, in Higher Bockhampton, Dorset. The eldest child of Thomas Hardy and Jemima Hand, Hardy had three younger siblings: Mary, Henry, and Katharine. Hardy learned to read at a very young age, and developed a fascination with the services he regular attended at Stinsford church. He also grew to love the music that accompanied church ritual. His father had once been a member of the Stinsford church musicians - the group Hardy later memorialised in Under the Greenwood Tree - and taught him to play the violin, with the pair occasionally performing together at local dance parties. Whilst attending the church services, Hardy developed a fascination for a skull which formed part of the Grey family monument. He memorised the accompanying inscription (containing the name 'Angel', which he would later use in his novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles [1]) so intently that he was still able to recite it well into old age. [2] Thomas Hardy By Bain News Service [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Adulthood Between the years of 1856-1862, Hardy worked as a trainee architect. He formed an important friendship with Horace Moule. Moule - eight years Hardy's senior and a Cambridge graduate - became Hardy's intellectual mentor. Horace Moule appears to have suffered from depression, and he committed suicide in 1873. Several of Hardy's poems are dedicated to him, and it is thought some of the characters in Hardy's fiction were likely to have been modeled on Moule.

Fatiha KAID BERRAHAL in THELIDJI Amar -University-Laghouat For the continuous support of my PhD study and related research, for her patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. Her guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for my PhD study. There are no proper words to convey my deep gratitude and respect for her. She has inspired me to become an independent researcher and helped me realize the power of critical reasoning. In fact the Thesis writing process has been a long journey for me, seven years of research that would not have been possible without her belief in me. I also thank my wife and partner who supported me through this venture and for her stimulating discussions, for the sleepless nights we were working together, especially these last three months, before deadlines, and for all the fun mixed with irritability we have had in the last six years.
