Welcome to any new visitors checking out the website for the first time after hearing about it through Nightflight (and to returning friends) — I hope you will stop by frequently!
This conversation was recorded on September 26, 2020.
Prior to our talk, Judith requested that I present “a few examples to show that certain stories are celestial stories.” Looking back on the interview, it seems to me that I might have exceeded “a few examples” but I hope that these will help those new to my research to see just how much evidence there is to support the conclusion that the world’s ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories — from virtually every culture on every inhabited continent and island on our earth — have their foundation in a common system of celestial metaphor.
One of the main examples that I chose for this conversation was the story of Judith and Holofernes, found in the ancient text of the Book of Judith. I have never spoken or written about the text of Judith before, but upon examination it shows very clear indications of being based on celestial metaphor, and of having very strong parallels with other more well-known ancient texts and stories, including those from other cultures.
Below are some links to previous blog posts which focus on some of the same subjects we touched upon in this interview, for those wishing to explore further:
“The Vision of Ezekiel: Wheels within Wheels”
"The Descent of Inanna and the Lamentation for our Buried Self"
Please note that the blog is fully searchable, so if you want to look for mentions of a certain constellation or a particular deity or a specific keyword, you can easily do so and hopefully there will be at least one previous post with some discussion there.
I very much enjoyed meeting Judith and our conversation, and I hope that you will as well. Please be sure to give her some positive feedback, and “like” the video (if you liked it), and of course please share with anyone you know who is looking for this kind of information.
