Mythical confusions and interpretive
inconsistencies
If searching for information of a deity, one is very often presented for
inconsistent interpretations and very often with the same theme
inconsistency all over the place. It seems that many scholars work after a
consensus scheme that seriously lack logics when analyzed deeply. All kind
of deity and celestial objects and symbols are mixed up and can be found
because many scholarly interpreters doesn't have the overall mythological
and cosmological view and knowledge.
For
instants, one of the founders of “Comparative Mythology”, Friedrich Max
Muller, (1823 – 1900), Professor of Comparative Philology -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_M%C3%BCller
-foremost compared myths via their linguistic similarities and he
led a school of thought which interpreted nearly all
myths as poetic descriptions of the sun's behaviour. According to this his
theory, these poetic descriptions had become distorted over time into
seemingly diverse stories about gods and heroes
and necessarily not by their mythological and cosmological meanings.
In
fact was/is his theories themselves distorted by not having a broader and
universal approach to the myths and the cosmological meanings. Unfortunately
his fundamental comparative mythology ideas of the Sun as the main deity run
trough many later scholars’ works and have made a school of reduced
mythological understanding which confused and inconsistent heritage still
today hinder a genuine mythical understanding. The Sun is of course very
important – but it is still a minor deity compared to deities connected to
the Creation Stories.

Example of lost mythical connection and interpretive inconsistency
If I
want to analyse the Norse mythological word of “Jord” as in Moder Jord
(Mother Earth) the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jord
say: “Jörð is the common word for earth in
Old Norse, as are the word's descendants in the modern Scandinavian
languages; Icelandic jörð, Faroese jørð, Danish, Swedish and
Norwegian jord. In Norse mythology, Jörð (Icelandic "earth" sometimes
Anglicized as Jord or Jorth) and also called Jarð jɑrð
as in Old East Norse, is a female
jötunn”.
AD: So what is this female “jötunn”? (Notice the word jord/Jord/earth/Earth
is described both in capital and small letters. Are we talking of “soil” or
planet Earth?)
“A jötunn often glossed as giant) is a being in
Norse mythology, a member of a race of nature spirits with superhuman
strength. Their otherworldly homeland is
Jötunheimr, one of the nine worlds of Norse
cosmology, separated from Midgard, the world of humans, by high mountains or
dense forests”.
AD: And where is the “homelands of these giant jötunns” located?
“Jötunheimr (or Jǫtunheimr; often anglicized Jotunheim) is one of the
Nine Worlds and the homeland (heim 'home') of the Giants of Norse
Mythology — Rock Giants and Frost Giants”.
AD: The 9 Worlds in Norse Mythology are parts of 3 prime Worlds, namely
Midgard; Asgard and Udgard which each are divided in 3 parts. Humans live in
Midgard, in the middle of the worlds on the Earth. Asgard contents the Sun;
the Moon, the 5 Planets and the stars and star constellations. In Udgard
“lives” the Norse Jaetter; the Giants where the largest figures observable
on the night sky can be seen as the Milky Way contours, which are directly
connected to the stories of creation.
So: Udgard is located on the night sky as the white Milky Way band which
whole contours surrounds the Earth as the Midgard Serpent.
“In Norse mythology, Þrymr (Thrymr, Thrym;
"uproar") was king of the jotnar. His kingdom was called Jötunheimr, but
according to
Hversu Noregr byggdist, it was the Swedish
province Värmland, then a part of Norway”.
AD: Here we have a typical scholarly example of a celestial myth that is
completely forgotten and “grounded in the firm landscape” and has become a
mere “geo-myth”. The Milky Way mythy-cosmologcal meaning is forgotten and
the contours gives name to a geographical location and the mythical story
and its celestial connection and meaning is broken.
Conclusion:
The researched word of “Jord” refers to a giant female
jötunn in Udgard, the location of the giant Milky
Way figures that is connected to the Story of Creation. The “female jötunn”
refers therefore to the formation of the first land, i.e. the Primeval Mound
in the centre of our galaxy, initially created by an explosion of light that
sets the 4 basically elements in motion. The mythically word “Jord” means
therefore “soil” and not the planet Earth.
The “female jötunn” is a cosmic female principle connected to the giant
Milky Way figure on the southern hemisphere that forms the physical elements
into all kind of shapes and forms in the very centre of the Milky Way
galaxy. As such “she” has physically formed everything in our galaxy,
including everything in our Solar System.
With this conclusion, the mythical the meaning of the mytheme of “Jord =
Soil” is again reconnected to the right celestial objects and it all gives
perfectly meaning and logics.
Several confusions of Mythical Symbols
If taking the Stories of Creation for granted, our ancestor’s view of the
universe was somewhat limited to the knowledge of our Milky Way galaxy. That
is: They also knew of the 4 basically elements that floats in the Primordial
Waters in the vast abyss in space because many cultures describe these
elements as “Primeval Deities” that creates everything in the Universe.
In the following, I'll explain several prime mythical symbols, beginning
with the telling of creation and how these symbols are misunderstood and
confused because of lack of mytho-cosmological knowledge; how myths and
symbols are disconnected because the scholars’ doesn't take the myths
cosmologically seriously and/or because the scholars ignore the Milky Way
myths which are directly connected to the Stories of Creation.
The 4 Elements in the Mythical Cosmic Abyss
The 4 elements are mythological described with Water,
Fire, Air, and Soil. The modern cosmological terms of these are: Hydrogen,
Helium, Oxygen and Particles. Accordingly to modern science, 99.99 % of
cosmos is filled with the gaseous elements and just 00.01 % is filled with
the “metallic” particles. Link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogdoad
The Enclosed Milky Way Light
The 4 elements are set in motion of a cosmic explosion (Initial Primeval
Light Deity) that moves the gaseous and particle elements in a cosmic
molecular cloud. (Blow of the Primeval Wind Deity) The gasses and particles
swirls and heats up via the electric ionization from the explosion;
electromagnetic circuits are created which sorts out and melt the particles
together in the swirling magnetic centre. (Volcanic and “earthquake”
deities)
When the critical melting point is reached in the centre, a huge light is
created in the pregalactic centre. (The Galactic Central Light) This light
is also called “The Enclosed Light” because of the formation of the galactic
arms that surrounds this central light.
This galactic light deity is scholarly very often mythological
misinterpreted by many scholars as “the Sun deity” - that is not even
created on this stage of creation.
The Primeval Mound
When this very luminous melting point is reached, the
particles form the first firm land, the Primeval Mound from where the first
contours rise in the Milky Way. From and on this Primeval Mound, both “rock”
and “water” deities of creation are created and mythological described,
giving birth to everything in our galaxy. Link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benben
The mytheme of “Primeval Mound” in the galactic centre is very often
confused by scholars to be of real mountains on the Earth.
The Tree of Eden
The creative formation in our Milky Way galaxy centre gives form and life to
everything and this formation and cycle of life is mythological symbolized
as a huge Tree standing in the middle of the creation garden i.e. in the
Milky Way centre from where everything is formed and “expulsed” out in the
surrounding of the galaxy centre. (The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden)
The Great Goddess
Some creation myths have a male being and some have a female being (both
human- and animal-like beings) as the first creation in the Milky Way
centre. Somehow it is most logical to have a female deity as the first one
to be created because of the physical formation that takes place in the
Milky Way centre.
The Milky Way centre is located in the star constellation of Sagittarius
observable on the Earth southern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere Milky
Way contours can easily be depicted as a woman with the Milky Way centre
located on the female figures location of the womb. (The Cosmic Womb) From
this centre, the female figure is giving birth to everything in the galaxy,
including herself. (The
Parthenogenetic
Virgin Mother)
Very
often the mytheme of the great Milky Way Goddess is scholarly interpreted as
“Mother Earth” because of the confusion between the elementary “soil” and
planet Earth. Link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Nature where
this and other very severe confusions appears all over the place.
The Great God
The telling of a Virgin giving birth to a heavenly son
refers to the Milky Way Mother who, without having a physical meeting with a
male, gives birth to what become the contours of the Earth northern
hemisphere Milky Way male-like contours. This northern half Milky Way
contour also represents the husband of the Milky Way Mother Goddess and
together they represent the first Milky Way creator deities, whether these
Milky Way contours are described as human- or animal-like beings – or both.
These figures also represent the 2 first human beings, in the Bible called
Adam and Eve. Link:
http://www.native-science.net/MilkyWay.Mytology.Keys.htm
The Serpent
The fully Milky Way band that surrounds the Earth, represents the Great
Serpent; The Winged Serpent or Dragon; the Midgard Serpent in the Norse
Mythology and the Ouroboros Symbol. Symbols with serpents and snakes are
directly connected to the Milky Way matters, especially because of the full
Milky Way serpent band around the Earth.
The Expulsion from Eden
This telling is not about Adam and Eve making any sinful act at all. It just
and only deals with a telling of the creative movement in our galaxy where
everything is created in the centre of the galaxy and fairly gently is slung
out (“expulsed out”) in the galactic surroundings – quite opposite of the
modern perception of the galactic formation and explanation that is wrong
and scientifically contradicted via the “galactic orbiting anomaly”.
Crescent Symbols
Of course the Moon can provide symbols of crescent shapes, but so can indeed
the 2 hemisphere Milky Way vaulting figures if imaging these as 2 separate
figures located on both hemispheres.
Very often these Milky Way deities are scholarly interpreted and connected
to be lunar deities, which of course is very illogical, connecting the
supreme creator qualities to the inferior qualities of the Moon that even
isn´t created in this stage of the creation story.
Cresent Ships
These crescent symbols often depict stylized mythical ships of the supreme Milky
Way deities that revolve around the Earth celestial poles, often confused as a
"solar bark". See below.
The Celestial Poles
When imaging the 2 Milky Way hemisphere figures seemingly revolving in the
night sky together with the circumpolar stars and constellations, these
figures are revolving around the Earth's polar rotation prolonged axis. This
configuration marks the Celestial Pole where the northern Milky Way male
deity and the southern Milky Way female revolve around these polar centres.
These 2 polar configurations are also very often
confused by scholars to be a solar symbol of a ring with 4 spokes as for
instants in the very strange and confused theory of the “Saturn Myth”, of
David Talbott. Link: http://www.saturn-myth-delusion.net/
The Flood
In many cultures the Milky Way is mythological described as the Heavenly
River which is seemingly running around the Earth. When scholars know
nothing of the Milky Way Mythology, they easily confuse this myth as being a
concrete and historic flood that once over flooded the Earth, whereas the
real meaning of course is “floating over the Earth, in the heaven”.
Geo-Myths
In
Norse mythology, Þrymr (Thrymr, Thrym; "uproar") was king of
the jotnar. His kingdom was called Jötunheimr, but according to Hversu
Noregr byggdist, it was the Swedish province Värmland, then a part of
Norway. (Read the full explanation in the beginning paragraph of “Example
of lost mythical connection and interpretive inconsistency”).
Many
myths are scholarly misunderstood because of this geographical and
historical approach to mythical interpretation. When mentioned this sad
affaire, I´m fully aware that many cultures also marked the celestial
objects and their movements via several marking systems on the ground and in
the surrounding landscape.
