Ageless Wisdom for a Modern World MYTHOLOGICAL AND ARCHETYPICAL BACKGROUND THE SEVEN MYSTIC DAUGHTERS OF ATLAS To understand the underlying importance and relevance of this Stellar Code, we start with the Bible in connecting with the present period of shifting planetary fluctuations. These changes are shown to be extremely relevant when we put the pieces together and come to the conclusion that there is a connection between us and the movement of the fixed stars and planets in the sky. “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?” ~Job 38:31 The influence of the Pleiades1 is extremely important and visible, not only because it was registered on the Bible, but because the gods, Zeus.

The island was divided among the brothers with the eldest, Atlas, the first King of Atlantis, being given control over the central hill and surrounding areas. At the top of the central hill, a temple was built to honor Poseidon, which housed a giant gold statue of Poseidon riding a chariot pulled by winged horses.

Ageless Wisdom for a Modern World Alonso de Molina’s 16th century dictionary of the Nahuatl language, “Vocabulario En Lengua Mexicana y Castellana” says that: "The words Atlas and Atlantic have no satisfactory etymology in any language known to Europe.

But in the Nahuatl language we find immediately the radical 'a', 'atl', which signifies water, war, and the top of the head.” The Mahabharata talks as well about the of Atlantis. seven great islands in the westerns seas, very similar to the Atlantean tradition.

  • A Review on Substellar Objects Below the Deuterium Burning Mass Limit: Planets, Brown Dwarfs Or What?
    geosciences Review A Review on Substellar Objects below the Deuterium Burning Mass Limit: Planets, Brown Dwarfs or What? José A. Caballero Centro de Astrobiología (CSIC-INTA), ESAC, Camino Bajo del Castillo s/n, E-28692 Villanueva de la Cañada, Madrid, Spain; [email protected] Received: 23 August 2018; Accepted: 10 September 2018; Published: 28 September 2018 Abstract: “Free-floating, non-deuterium-burning, substellar objects” are isolated bodies of a few Jupiter masses found in very young open clusters and associations, nearby young moving groups, and in the immediate vicinity of the Sun. They are neither brown dwarfs nor planets. In this paper, their nomenclature, history of discovery, sites of detection, formation mechanisms, and future directions of research are reviewed. Most free-floating, non-deuterium-burning, substellar objects share the same formation mechanism as low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, but there are still a few caveats, such as the value of the opacity mass limit, the minimum mass at which an isolated body can form via turbulent fragmentation from a cloud. The least massive free-floating substellar objects found to date have masses of about 0.004 Msol, but current and future surveys should aim at breaking this record. For that, we may need LSST, Euclid and WFIRST. Keywords: planetary systems; stars: brown dwarfs; stars: low mass; galaxy: solar neighborhood; galaxy: open clusters and associations 1. Introduction I can’t answer why (I’m not a gangstar) But I can tell you how (I’m not a flam star) We were born upside-down (I’m a star’s star) Born the wrong way ’round (I’m not a white star) I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangstar I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar Blackstar, F (2016), David Bowie The tenth star of George van Biesbroeck’s catalogue of high, common, proper motion companions, vB 10, was from the end of the Second World War to the early 1980s, and had an entry on the least massive star known [1–3].

There are several quite long series from this source, retaining the alphabetical order in which they were arranged, Nos. 215-312, 403-423, 541- 562. It is correspondingly poor in poems from Meleager s Stephanus (Nos. 313-338). It contains a good deal of the Alexandrian Palladas, a contemporary of Hypatia, most of wliich we could well dispense with. The latter part, from No. 582 07iwards, consists mostly of real or pretended in- scriptions on works of art or buildings, many quite unworthy of preservation, but some, especially those on baths, quite graceful.

  • Myrtia, Nº 22, 2007, Pp. 117-137 Montclair State
    Myrtia , nº 22, 2007, pp. 117-137 READING RESISTANCE IN THE GALATEA EPISODE OF OVID ’S METAMORPHOSES *1 PATRICIA SALZMAN -MITCHELL Montclair State University, NJ (USA) Resumen . El siguiente trabajo trata del discurso de cortejo de Polifemo (relatado por Galatea) y propone que tanto Polifemo como Galatea son tipos de lector del poema de Ovidio y de la elegía latina, si bien muy diferentes. Mientras el Cíclope percibe el texto de Metamorfosis y la figura elegíaca de la dura puella desde una perspectiva masculina, la diosa, se opone a este tipo de lectura. La autora argumenta que Galatea rechaza la construcción que de ella hace el Cíclope y que de este modo se opone también a una lectura simplista de las figuras femeninas en las Metamorfosis y en la elegía amorosa latina, convirtiéndose así en un lector que se opone a las lecturas masculinas sesgadas de la epopeya de Ovidio y la poesía amorosa. Se sostienen además los tres puntos siguientes: Galatea rechaza la cosificación de las mujeres en su animalización y asimilación al paisaje erotizado; rechaza, por otra parte, el estereotipo literario de la dura puella en el que el discurso del Cíclope intenta encasillarla, y comprende que el Cíclope desea privarla de su propia naturaleza e identidad y asimilarla completamente a su propio mundo. Summary . This paper discusses the wooing speech of Polyphemus (re-told by Galatea) and proposes that both Polyphemus and Galatea are readers of Ovid’s poem and of Latin Elegy, yet very different ones. While the Cyclops reads the text of Metamorphoses and the elegiac figure of the dura puella from a male-centered perspective, the goddess, resists this type of reading.

    SOME STAR NAMES IN MODERN TURKIC LANGUAGES-II* Yong-Sŏng LI** 5. Names for ‘the Great Bear/the Big Dipper’ Ursa Major (the Great Bear) is the most widely known and oldest of the astronomical constellations. It is a circumpolar group as viewed from the mid- dle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. One part of the configuration, a group of seven bright stars, which is pictured as the tail of the Great Bear, is commonly known in the United States as the Big Dipper which it resembles.1 5.1 “seven + Noun/Suffix” Many words comprised of the number ‘seven’ and a noun/suffix mean ‘the Great Bear’ in the Turkic languages. These words must have meant originally the seven bright stars of the Great Bear, i.e. the Big Dipper. As a matter of fact, the Great Bear as a constellation was not known to the Turks as well as to other peoples in many parts of the world in the past. 5.1.1 Yedigen (< *Yētigen) “yéti:ge:n Den.

  • Divine Riddles: a Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014
    Divine Riddles: A Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014 E. Edward Garvin, Editor What follows is a collection of excerpts from Greek literary sources in translation. The intent is to give students an overview of Greek mythology as expressed by the Greeks themselves. But any such collection is inherently flawed: the process of selection and abridgement produces a falsehood because both the narrative and meta-narrative are destroyed when the continuity of the composition is interrupted. Nevertheless, this seems the most expedient way to expose students to a wide range of primary source information. I have tried to keep my voice out of it as much as possible and will intervene as editor (in this Times New Roman font) only to give background or exegesis to the text. All of the texts in Goudy Old Style are excerpts from Greek or Latin texts (primary sources) that have been translated into English. Ancient Texts In the field of Classics, we refer to texts by Author, name of the book, book number, chapter number and line number.1 Every text, regardless of language, uses the same numbering system. Homer’s Iliad, for example, is divided into 24 books and the lines in each book are numbered. Hesiod’s Theogony is much shorter so no book divisions are necessary but the lines are numbered. Below is an example from Homer’s Iliad, Book One, showing the English translation on the left and the Greek original on the right. When citing this text we might say that Achilles is first mentioned by Homer in Iliad 1.7 (i.7 is also acceptable).
