The Alux – a Maya Leprechaun

This Wednesday, on September 29th at 7:30 p.m., one of the Maya myths I will be discussing will be about an Alux (pronounced Alush), one of the “Little People.” My talk, The Yucatan Connection to Atlantis and Lemuria Using Cayce Clues and Mythology, will be held at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia and is sponsored by the Edgar Cayce Forum.

The Yucatan Maya and the Rabbit in the Moon

As I said in my September 15 post, the Maya, when they look at the full moon, do not see a “Man in the Moon” but a “Rabbit in the Moon.”

In the nature photograph of yesterday’s full moon, I’ve taken the liberty to draw the outline of the rabbit to illustrate how it could be that the Maya see a Rabbit in the Moon.

When the Maya, whose ancestors built Chichen Itza and made the 2012 predictions, look at the moon, they see a rabbit.

On Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. (next week) I will be discussing the ancient Maya mythology of the moon goddess and her companion, the rabbit, at the Edgar Cayce Forum at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

My talk is called, The Yucatan Connection to Atlantis and Lemuria Using Cayce Clues and Mythology. Attend the Edgar Cayce Forum on September 29th and see how the myth of the Moon Goddess and the Rabbit illustrate the connection between Yucatan and Lemuria.

Quetzalcoatl, Kukulcan or Itzamna?

I’m doing research for my talk at the Edgar Cayce Forum, THE YUCATAN CONNECTION TO ATLANTIS AND LEMURIA USING CAYCE CLUES AND MYTHOLOGY on September 29th at 7:30 p.m. at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The myth of the creator god Itzamna interests me. But, who was Itzamna? He sounds similar to Kukulcan who is supposed to be the Maya version of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent. But is he?

Rabbit in the Moon

Do you know that when the ancient Maya – and I assume modern-day Maya – look at a full moon, they see a rabbit in the moon, not the “man in the moon,” as North Americans do?

Science Fiction Writers can also be good scientists

In talking about L. Taylor Hansen yesterday, I implied that since she made her living writing science fiction, her He Walked the Americas must be fiction as well. The book is about a white-skinned, bearded man, Christ-like, who traveled throughout North America educating the people before the arrival of the Europeans. In Maya legend, he was called Itzamna.

Yes, I know that Itzamna is a god of the Maya. But, did L. Taylor Hansen merely taken known legends, such as that of Itzamna, and merely fabricate fictionary tales of serpent boats, lightning bolt carvings, and granite handprints.

Because she was a science fiction writer did it mean that all her writing was fiction?

Not necessarily so. Overnight, I thought of Sir Arthur C. Clarke who, as scientist, was first to conceive of a system of satellites in geostationary orbits that could be used for communication as well as weather reporting and prediction.

Arthur C. Clark was also a prolific science fiction writer who wrote the screenplay of the magnificent 2001: A Space Odyssey.

He Walked the Americas: Science Fiction or True Native Legends?

This is a hard one. Is the book, He Walked the Americas by L. Taylor Hansen researched anthropological fact based on Native legends or is it merely cleverly-crafted fiction?

I’m reading He Walked the Americas by L. Taylor Hansen in preparation for my September 29th talk, THE YUCATAN CONNECTION TO ATLANTIS AND LEMURIA USING CAYCE CLUES AND MYTHOLOGY for the Edgar Cayce Forum in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

However, as fascinating as the stories in the book appear, there are details that seem absolutely outlandish such as that this Pale Faced Prophet knelt to pray. The rendition of the Lord’s Prayer, Native American-style seems concocted rather than a true translation from a Native American tongue.

Therefore, I did a Google search to see if I could find a biography of L. Taylor Hansen and discovered that she made her living as a science fiction writer. Therefore, could it be that He Walked the Americas a cleverly crafted science fiction novel a la Michael Crichton’s Congo?

I also went to Amazon’s listing of the book to see if I could come across research by other readers and discovered that a reviewer that gave the book a one-star rating had contacted Stanford University and discovered that L. Taylor Hansen had never been a student there as her biography on the back of the book says.

In addition, her own Amazon review (posthumously posted on Amazon from her autobiographical memoir) says that she went to University of California at Los Angeles, went to a northern dog-sled adventure and then returned to school, I assume to Stanford but she does not say in her own autobiography. Did she, or did she not go to Stanford?

These are just some of the confusing details that make me wonder if her book is science fiction rather than actual anthropological research.

The book sure did get me excited that the Natives of the Americas had recollections of Atlantis (“the Old Red Land“) in their traditions. But, like I said, it might all be fiction.

Influences from Lemuria and Atlantis in Yucatan

Just thinking about my upcoming talk at the Edgar Cayce Forum in Virginia Beach, Virginia on September 29th, 7:30 PM. Numerous people who consulted Edgar Cayce for psychic readings on their past lives discovered they had had previous lifetimes in Lemuria or Atlantis. Some of these “entities,” according to Cayce, had also journeyed to Yucatan.

The Quetzalcoatl’s Headdress Crop Circle

Quetzalcoatl\'s Headdress (Click on the link to the left to take you to the You Tube video of Quetzalcoatl’s Headdress.)

If you’re interested in Crop Circles, such as the one in the You Tube video called Quetzalcoatl’s Headdress, there are some interesting online discussions about this particular crop circle (with opinions for and against them being man made) at UFO Spy.

Quetzalcoatl’s Headdress appeared near Silbury Hill in the county of Wiltshire, England.

The Anna Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull

A number of years ago, when I lived in Scottsdale, Arizona, Anna Mitchell-Hedges brought the famous Crystal Skull to a showing open to the public. I went to that event and touched the amazing skull. It looked just like a skeleton . . . perfectly so . . . except it was made of what appeared to be glass. It’s made of quartz, of course.

Here is an excerpt from an excellent article on the Mitchelle-Hedges Crystal Skull.

Researchers found that the skull had been carved against the natural axis of the crystal. Modern crystal sculptors always take into account the axis, or orientation of the crystal’s molecular symmetry, because if they carve “against the grain,” the piece is bound to shatter — even with the use of lasers and other high-tech cutting methods.

The article goes on to connect 13 skulls with the 2012 end of the world prophecies.
