Lemuria - Lemuria In Roman religion, on May 9, 11, and 13, the Lemuria or Lemuralia, the Feast of the Lemures (q.v.), was observed, during which the unwholesome and malevolent sprectres of the restless dead were propitiated. This ancient custom was Christianized in the feast of All Saints Day, established in Rome first on May 13, in order to de-paganize the Roman Lemuria. In the 8th century, as the popular observance of the Lemuria had safely faded over time, the feast of All Saints was shifted to November 1, coinciding with the similar Celtic propitiation of the spirits at Samhain. Pope Gregory III (731-741) consecrated a chapel in the Basilica of St. Peter to all the saints and fixed the anniversary, not by chance, for 1 November. See.
I AM Foundation - I AM movement is probably the best publicized Mount Shasta-related religion. It holds that Shasta is home of the Lemurians, a race of very civilized refugees from an ancient kingdom called 'Mu' that was lost to a cataclysm when their continent Lemuria sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Lemurians are described as being seven feet tall and having a walnut-sized sensory organ in the middle of their foreheads. They reportedly use this organ to communicate via extra-sensory perception. Believers also state that this race can appear and vanish at will and that they have built an elaborate tunnel system in Shasta. The movement was founded as a result of the first reported sighting of Lemurians that is said to have occurred about 1930. Movement founder Guy Ballard says that.
Ideological assumption - overly misanthropic or anti-humanist. Those who suggest the signals are being suppressed by authority are paranoid. 11) Should intelligent beings exist anywhere else, they would be unable to visit our planet, since it is scientifically impossible to have the energy and speed to reach Earth from the nearests stars. UFOs are not real. 12) A few millennia ago, most of our ancestors had the constant impulse to invent fictitious stories for their children about their historical experiences. If an account does not fit into our scholarly views, it must be a lie or falsehood. Myth usually has little or no basis in fact. 13) Mankind's myths and legends are literary products, with little or no historical value. They have been created by confused primitive minds, often under the influence of a.

Hungry ghost - to take over their bodies so as to partake of food and drink. On the positive side, in Judaic tradition, the good but obviously thirsty spirit of Elijah, the prophet, visits every Jewish house during Passover to sample the wine. At every Passover Seder, a Jewish family will put out an extra glass of wine meant to satisfy the hungry ghost Elijah. In the Roman religion, hungry ghosts of a family's ancestors figured in the festival of Lemuria; it was the duty of the pater familias to appease the larvć of his ancestors with an offering of beans. The Balkan tradition of the vampire is another malevolent sort of undead revenant, a corpse supernaturally animated which seeks to feed on the blood of the living. In Hindu tradition, much as described.
Feast of the Lemures - of the Lemures The Feast of the Lemures, called the Lemuralia or Lemuria was a feast during which the ancient Romans performed rites to exorcise the malevolent and fearful ghosts of the dead from their homes. On those days, the Vestals would prepare sacred mola salsa (salt cake) from the first ears of wheat of the season. In the Julian calendar the three days of the feast were the 9th, 11th, and 13th of May. The myth of origin of this ancient festival was that it had been instituted by Romulus to appease the spirit of Remus (Ovid, Fasti, verse 473ff.). Ovid notes that at this festival it was the custom to appease or expel the evil spirits by walking barefoot and throwing black beans over the shoulder at night. It.
Ancient visitors to the Americas - dependent on or changed by eastern hemisphere cultures. A number of diffusionist theories involving ancient visitors are religious-based, mystical or metaphysical. Diffusionism implied by The Book of Mormon holds that a number of Hebraic groups migrated from the Middle East to ancient America. (See Controversies regarding the origin of The Book of Mormon.) Atlantis connections figure in the mysticism of the Rosicrucians and Theosophists. American relationships to the proposed Pacific Oceanic lost continent of Lemuria, also known as Mu, are championed by admirers of James Churchwood. Ideas of extra-terrestrial visits have been proposed, most popularly by Erich Von Danniken. Other theories of contact include proposals involving off-course Shang Dynasty ships, Muslim ships from Asia (see Sung Document), the Chinese fleet led by Zheng He, Afro-Phoenicians, the famous Polynesian proposals of Thor.
Atlantis - irregular shoreline of that traditional island in the Bahamas region. (An Attic stadium corresponds to 177.6 meters.) Among those who believe in an historical Atlantis, the leading theory holds that Plato's story of the destruction of Atlantis was inspired by massive volcanic eruptions on the Mediterranean island of Santorini during Minoan times. Recently, a theory proposed by J.M. Allen has focused attention on the Altiplano in Bolivia. Allen took Plato's physical description of the location of Atlantis and compared it to physical features found in the Altiplano, and he found that they matched Plato's description on almost all counts, but for a factor of 2. Allen reasons that this error makes sense because pre-Columbian South Americans counted in base 20. Another piece of evidence that Allen cites is Plato's mention of.

Bean - into the drills before the seed is sown or spread upon the surface and ploughed down, according to the nature of the drilling process which is meant to be adopted. Land dunged to beans, if duly hoed, is always in high order for carrying a crop of wheat in succession. Perhaps better wheat, both in respect to quantity and quality, may be cultivated in this way than in any other mode of sowing. Different machines have been invented for drilling beans, but the most common and handy is one of the narrow form. This hand drill is pushed forward by a man or woman, and will, according as the brush or director is lowered or heightened, sow thicker or thinner, as may be expedient and necessary. Another machine; drawn by a.
Tubal - loved not discipline. "Again the Word went forth: Drop on the ground all that you hold, and enter free. "But three revolted from that stern command. The rest obeyed. They passed within the gates, leaving the three outside. Many were raised unto the heights of joy. The three remained without the gates, holding their treasure firm." In this ancient writing, older than any of the written scriptures of the world, is to be found the secret of the Masonic story and of the slaying of the Master by the three most [397] closely associated with Him in His death and burial. Masons will all recognize the three to whom I here refer. These three were the founders of the modern Jewish race. They were three advanced disciples who resented the command.
Samhain - place on Samhain Eve. This was the most magical time of the year; Samhain was the day which did not exist. During the night the great shield of Skathach was lowered, allowing the barriers between the worlds to fade and the forces of chaos to invade the realms of order, the material world conjoining with the world of the dead. At this time the spirits of the dead and those yet to be born walked amongst the living. The dead could return to the places where they had lived and food and entertainment were provided in their honour. In this way the tribes were at one with its past, present and future. This aspect of the festival was never totally subdued by Christianity. On the level of cosmic event, the rising.

Pseudoarchaeology - as to the pursuit of untestable hypotheses such as the influence of UFOs or ancient astronauts on past civilizations. Pseudoarchaeology includes the investigation of theories generally discarded by scientific investigators, such as the existence of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat, lost continents such as Atlantis or Lemuria, and the idea of direct contact between the ancient civilizations of Egypt and the Maya. It can also include scientific investigations in which the ability to maintain a critical, scientific perspective is diminished by religious belief. An example that is frequently cited would be research on the Shroud of Turin. Pseudoarchaeology was used to describe the expeditions to find the ancient greek city of Troy. Troy, as described in the poems of Ancient Greek, was discovered by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. Schliemann declared one.
New Age - their doctors are aware of what they're doing. Herbal remedies can interact in a variety of ways with prescription drugs or mask symptoms of the underlying disease. Critics of New Age medicine continue to point out that without some kind of testing procedure, there is no way of separating those techniques, medicinal herbs, and lifestyle changes which actually contribute to increased health from those which have no effect, or which are actually deleterious to one's health. Even seemingly "innocent" techniques such as Therapeutic Touch may potentially cause physical, spiritual, and religious harm (see Therapeutic Touch: What Could Be the Harm?, The Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine). Yet some hospitals, such as St. Mary's Hospital in Amsterdam, New York, offer patients Healing Touch or Therapeutic Touch therapies which complement traditional medicine (see.
Mu - the friction coefficient and mass per unit length. Mu is the name of a (hypothetical) vanished continent, located in the Pacific Ocean but now, like Atlantis and Lemuria, sunk beneath the waters. The idea of this continent first appeared in the works of the antiquitarian Augustus Le Plongeon (1826-1908), a 19th century traveler and writer who conducted his own investigations of the Maya ruins in Yucatán. He announced that he had translated the ancient Mayan writings, which supposedly showed that the Maya of Yucatán were older than the later civilizations of Atlantis and Egypt, and additionally told the story of an even older continent of Mu, which had foundered in a similar fashion to Atlantis, with the survivors founding the Maya civilisation. (Later students of the Ancient Maya writings believe that.
Mythical place - at least explanation about their location. Some examples of mythical places are: Atlantis - The mythical lost continent, some believe it might only be a small greek island that was the subject of a volcanic eruption. Avalon Camelot Hawaiiki - The ancestral island of the polynesians, particularly the Maori. Lemuria Lyonesse Mu Terra Australis Incognita - or the great unknown southern land that catographers believed occupied most of the southern hemisphere, before Captain James Cook discovered and circumnavigated Australia and New Zealand and Antarctica. Waikikamukau - an isolated place allegedly in New Zealand. Ys in Brittany, France See also: Mythology, Legendary creatures, Lost cities, Phantom Islands, Fictional realm.
Larvae - which haunted and guarded the domus or household, and the Larvae, or the restless and fearful souls of wicked men. But the more common idea was that the Lemures and Larvae were the same. They were said to wander about at night and to torment and frighten the living. On May 9, 11, and 13, the Lemuralia or Lemuria, theFeast of the Lemures, occurred, when black beans were offered to the Larvae in the hopes of propitiating them; loud noises were also used to frighten them away. Lemurs were so named by Linnaeus for their big eyes, noctural habits and unearthly noises they make at night. Some species of lemur were identified by their call before scientists had seen one. Alternative: Lemures.
