Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 46min - 56 - The Exodus from Egypt and the Desert of Amenta by Gerald Massey – Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 10
When roughly classed, the myths and legends generally show two points of departure for migrations of the human race, as these were rendered in the stellar and solar mythology. One is from the summit of the celestial mount, the other from the hollow underworld beneath the mount or inside the earth. The races that descended...
Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 1h 15min - 55 - The Ark, the Deluge, and the World’s Great Year by Gerald Massey – Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 9
After the deluge in “the destruction of mankind” the god Ra establishes a covenant with those who have escaped from the flood.

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 1h 09min - 54 - The Egyptian Wisdom in Other Jewish Writings by Gerald Massey – Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 8
When the word Sheol in the Old Testament is rendered in English by “the grave,” it is inadequate times out of number.

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 53min - 53 - Egyptian Wisdom and the Hebrew Genesis by Gerald Massey – Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 7
[I]t was not the genesis of the universe that is imaged in astronomical mythology.

The constellations were not created from nothing when they were figured...
Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 38min - 52 - The Sign-Language of Astronomical Mythology by Gerald Massey – Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Books 5 and 6
The origin of a saviour in the guise of a little child is traceable to Child-Horus, who brought new life to Egypt every year as the Messu of the inundation. This was Horus in his pre-solar and pre-human characters of the fish, the shoot of the papyrus, or the branch of the endless years. In...
Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 1h 59min - 51 - Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Mysteries of Amenta by Gerald Massey – Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 4
There is no death in the Osirian religion, only decay and change, and periodic renewal; only evolution and transformation in the domain of matter and the transubstantiation into spirit. In the so-called death of Osiris it is rebirth, not death, exactly the same as in the changes of external nature. At the close of the...

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 48min - 48 - Sign-Language and Mythology as Primitive Modes of Representation by Gerald Massey – Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 1
“Myth-making Man” did not create the Gods in his own image. The primary divinities of Egypt, such as Sut, Sebek, and Shu, three of the earliest, were represented in the likeness of the Hippopotamus, the Crocodile, and the Lion; whilst Hapi was imaged as an Ape, Anup as a Jackal, Ptah as a Beetle, Taht...

Ever since the Greeks coined the language we commonly use for scientific description, mythology and science have developed separately. But what came before the Greeks?

“ONE of the dam-dest in our whole saturnalia of the accursed Because it is hopeless to try to shake off an excommunication only by saying that we’re damned by blacker things than ourselves; and that the damned are those who admit they’re of the damned.

Of Occult Philosophy or of Magical Ceremonies: The Fourth Book – Henry Cornelius Agrippa.
