Have no idea what is happening/happened in Chicago, but Bill is still in Oklahoma City, reading books, sending emails and trying to get things set up for his release. As always, he is working on his myth and ritual studies. Three recent emails, below, with a glimpse of Bill’s “Christmas Vacation Reading List”.
WILLIAM A WHITE on 12/14/2010 11:06:05 AM wrote …I spent some time last night considering the subject of Baal and impalement. No particular reason why. Read of a story of a woman being impaled in the 1980s in Virginia in one of these sicko-crime books here, and it got me thinking. I am wondering if there are not two forms of ritual impalement — one laterally and one longitudinally. The Egyptian form of execution, if the hieroglyphic of the impaled man is any clue, is to behead and then impale the victim through the midsection, under the ribs and through the back. The other form of impalement is through the pelvic region to the neck or mouth. The first seems to be the means of slaying vampires, of sacrifice to Odin (minus the beheading), the binding of Prometheus, and the crucifixion of Christ. The other may be the form of the Assyrians and Vlad the Impaler. It is certainly more cruel. (The Odin sacrifice in particular uses it as a symbolic maneuver after the victim has been hung). I am not certain of Boudicea’s method. I am wondering if differences in the form of impalement have ritual significance vis-a-vis the worship of Baal. One is the means by which Baal is bound; perhaps the other is a means of torturing his victims? Just some thoughts that occurred. Post them if you like. Bill
WILLIAM A WHITE on 12/15/2010 10:25:56 PM wrote Some more for the internet. I was reading a book today, “The Rise of the West”. Popular in nature, but excellent. Turns out pre-dynastic Egyptians had images of Mesopotamian (Sumerian) ships, indicating linkage between the two cultures prior to 3100 BC — which is very excellent, because it confirms my belief that the Egyptian Ennead and Sumerian pantheons are of common origin. Also concludes the Sumerians and Egyptians may have had a common language origin — I have the same impression, from being functional in Middle Egyptian and familiar with Sumerian, particularly after reading that cuneiform is syllabic in nature — a single character represents a combination of sounds, rather than a single sound. The dispersion from the Red Sea into Southern Egypt explains why the higher culture originated in the South — it didn’t migrate from Europe, but from South Asia. The only question I have here is as to the role of Horus, who is not a Sumerian figure, and appears to pre-date the Ennead and Osiris. Also, the Re cult is clearly not of Sumerian origin. Both appear to have been European imports. The book also concludes that the Aryans of Central Asia have too many similarities in their forms of worship with the Mesopotamian peoples for there not to have been a common origin. The author, a fellow named McNeil, believes the Aryans borrowed from Sumeria and Akkad/Babylon. I am not so sure. The Indus culture may be key here. Apparently, no one has cracked their language. Still, a Southern-Asian “white” people appear to have been involved in founding Sumer, Indus and the Upper Egyptian culture — perhaps the lost continent of Lemuria? Bill
December 16, 2010 Saw something in a book I thought was quite amazing. It’s a cylinder seal discovered at Tell Asmar. On it, on the left, is a nude man grabbing a bull by the tail. On the right, the man has grown horns and hoofed legs, and is wrestling a lion with the head of a boar. Look at him, and he is obviously a proto-Pan. Also, saw an image of Prajapati, Shiva as lord of the beasts, and it is clearly the goat-headed Pan of the famous illustration. Both, of course, I have hypothesized are the Judaeo-Christian Jehovah and African Juju. Both images surprised me, though. You may want to note this on the website, if you’re blogging these little notes of mine. Bill
