Such great posts guys
The conclusion is so obvious
Astromythology is commonplace in all human culture
And how surprising it would be if it were otherwise
When you awake and find yourself suspended in space on a big blue ball you look up and see the other goings on all around you and whether you are a fool such as I or a sailor on sweet Marie or a child gazing in wide eyed wonder or a sage with deep knowledge of the movement of the luminaries ...
Even our languages themselves are filled with it
Yes astromythology is in the bible
And it is everywhere else in things human
Hekate it's even what we are made of
And I am glad
For it means I am not other
No stranger in a strange land
But a part of the all that begets me anew everyday
As the big wheels turn
That's how I roll
Thanks guys

sounds like music to my earsThe Allfather
One of Odin’s countless names is “Allfather” (Old Norse Alfaðir), “because,” according to Snorri Sturluson, “he is the father of all of the gods.”[20] And, as we’ve already noted, Odin is listed as the divine ancestor of countless families from all over northern Europe. He’s simultaneously an Aesir god, a Vanir god (the Vanir god Óðr is only an extension or transposition of Odin), and a giant (his mother is Bestla, one of the first frost-giants). One Old Norse poem even identifies him with önd, the breath of life.[22]

Re: Astromythology
Try saying Snorri Sturluson after a few beers, Youkrst. There's a guy who's dyslexic who debates mythicists. On one of his blogs he wrote about Mithra slaying the comic bull.youkrst wrote:according to Snorri Sturluson,

Re: Astromythology
here's one again
Although most of the Old Testament has been accepted by fundamentalists as the gospel truth, even they have confessed to doubts about Jonah and the whale. For a man to be swallowed live by a whale and survive to tell the tale was either a Biblical miracle or a bit of fisherman's braggadocio. There have been many attempts to interpret the allegory. However, since most of the main characters in the Bible personify the sun, we can safely assume that Jonah also represents some aspect of the solar orb. Those three uncomfortable days and nights were the winter solstice. Between the twenty-first and twenty-fourth of December the nights are the darkest and longest of the entire year and were known to ancient astrologers as the Whale's Belly. No doubt this has reference to the winter constellation Cetus, the Whale, which is just above the horizon at that time. The 'whale' was, therefore, in a position to swallow Jonah when he, as the sun, plunged into the sea. Thus it was that Jonah, the sun, spent three days and nights in the Whale's Belly, where he meditated on the Lord.

Re: Astromythology
just enjoying this articleIn the third century, when the church fathers were consolidating the Christian church, they had no knowledge of the date of Jesus' birth. They chose the date celebrated by the pagans, the winter solstice, when the darkest days give way to the promise of brighter ones. This was incorporated in terms of the zodiac into the story of the birth of Jesus, or the sun. In the late hour of the twenty-fourth of December, the zodiacal sign Virgo, or the Virgin, rests on the horizon or ascendant. At the hour of midnight, the sun enters the sign of Capricorn -- the manger and the goat. Thus is the sun -- Jesus -- born of a virgin, by an immaculate conception.
Later, as the story goes, the constellation of Orion rises in the East. The three bright stars in his belt are the three Wise Men who came from the East to offer gifts to the newborn King. These gifts were the new-old ideas incorporated into the teachings of Jesus, such as "love ye one another," "overcome evil with good," and "your Father and my Father are one," which replaced the old Jewish idea of "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." In the north are the two stars known to the Arabs as Martha and Mary. So are the starry heavens related to the great story. Later in the life of Jesus -- the sun -- the twelve signs of the zodiac become his disciples.
Thus does the zodiac continue in the New Testament, and the four points in the tabernacle of Moses and the four cherubs of Ezekiel's wheels are repeated in the four Gospels or Evangels of the New Testament. In fact, the book of Ezekiel is pure astrology. Ezekiel, in his vision, sees in sublime form the Lords of the signs of the zodiac, the revolving planets, the constellations, and the angels of the four points -- the elements; in Aquarius, the man; Taurus, the ox; Leo, the lion; and Scorpio, the eagle.
