Cardona - Important gods are planets, planets are gods (plus Sun)

"... History never repeats itself, but it rhymes. Mythology echos. ..."

Gods and plants - summary

My compilation of the important gods and their associated planets is taken from :

Dwardu Cardona 2006 "God Star" Trafford Publishing Victoria BC, 518 pages, www.Trafford.com
ISBN 1-4120-8308-7 Anthony Peratt read the whole book, and is cited in the book

Cardona's (deceased in 2015 if I remember correctly) classifications are VERY different from standard mythology, and this will not suit many. He is of the the [Velikovsky, Electric Universe] style of mythologists, and as such often cites [Lyn Rose, David Talbot, Velikovsky, others]. He clearly states that he is attempting to stay true to [common, dominant] mythological themes, in effect he assumes that the great myths deep in the past, perhaps predating civilisation, are correct if sometimes difficult to understand, just as ancient people found catastrophic events difficult to [understand, describe].

Cardona's concepts are [crazy, wild, fun, penetrating] - particularly that Earth was once a lone planet of star-Saturn, which appeared from Earth to be locked in Earths Northern Polar fixed positions, illuminating Eartj's northern hemisphere directly. The ideas spread from there.

I am not a mythologist, nor do I like the subject very much (it's too complex for me), but the [Velikovsky, Electric Universe] style of mythologists have proven [mainstream, consensus, established] [math, science, engineering] to be fools so often that I have to keep and eye on them. I might even learn something. [Right, wrong, true, false] often doesn't mean anything, and it's far less a concern to me than whether I can see a rare individual who isn't just a blind intellectual robot ("turbic thinker" in some of my other work). Someone who [has, is] actually thinking. Cardona definitely has that.

Individual gods have sometimes had [dozen, hundred, thousand]s of names in the same society over time or even at the same time. The intent on this webPage is to list from oldest (original) names to mpore recent. The origial concepts morph over time, as conditions on Earth and in the Sky change, and people can no longer understad the original [conditions, events, context, concepts]. This problem may be worse today than it has ever been, partly driven by [modern, advanced, higher] education?

The Sun has often been as mis-[interpretation, translation, understanding] from very ancient times, which likely referred to Saturn. Cardona explains this in great detail across societies, and develops his themes very well, staying true to original myths.

09Jan2023 my spellings are suspect, the following tables are incomplete. There are a huge number of other [gods, themes] many of which do NOT refer to planets. I refer to "Mesopotamia, but [Sumeria, Babylon, Assyria, Akkadia, etc] do differ.

23Jun2024 Chinese movie "Creation of the Gods: Kingdom of Storms", Shang Dynasty

Gods of [planet, society]s

[Uranus, Neptune, (Pluto)] are NOT listed, as there were not visible to the unaided eye of the ancients (no telescopes). The stories of the Dogan tribe in Africe (star Sirius?) raise issues here?

Remember - there are [dozen, hundred, thousand]s of names for the same god, even in the same society!!! 10Jan2023 I re-arranged html tables, with many mistakes. Also info is in[complete, correct].
Also note that Cardonna gods don't always appear in web searches. My links usually go to wikipedia.

All planets are gods, many primary gods are planets

Here the [Sun, Moon] are included as planets. Only planets out to Saturn are visible by the eye alone, which is what the ancients had to rely on.

Gods by themes

Many, if not most, of these Gods are NOT planets, but all planets are theme-gods as well? (I'm not sure). Few "theme gods" are listed below (mostly planet gods) - I will perhaps add far more over time?

Remember - there are [dozen, hundred, thousand]s of names for the same god, even in the same society!!! Furthermore for themes, many [non, demi]-Gods are known.

Hindu Rig Veda describes a calendar with twelve months and 360 days
also 360dayyear.com
Egypt Osirus Egyptian 360-day calendar One myth tells of how the extra 5 days were added

also 360dayyear.com 		Toth M Usually, he is depicted in his human form with the head of a green ibis.
Osiris M He was classically depicted as a green-skinned deity with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive atef crown, and holding a symbolic crook and flail.
Hebrew Scriptural Calendar study shows that the original design of the heavenly timepiece had a perfect 360-day solar cycle and 30-day lunar cycle
John: Book of Revelation John wrote the Book of Revelation in about 95 A.D., a century and a half after the Julian calendar reform of 45 B.C. which adopted a 365-day calendar with modern leap years. However, in verses 11:2-3; 12:6, 12:14; and 13:5, John explicitly indicates a year of 360 days.
Chinese 360dayyear.com rom the ancient Chinese, as commonly around the world, lunar calendars were in use even though it was exactly the use of lunar, rather than solar, calendars which caused enormous difficulty. Also as Plunket writes, "There is in the great History of China a description given of a reformation of the calendar carried out by the Emperor Tchuen-Hio, whose date is placed at 2510-2431 B.C."
Greek Dionysus god of [wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, theatre] Herodotus quote of Solon of Athens In about 440 B.C., Herodotus quoted the famous statesman Solon of Athens (638 - ca. 558 B.C.) as saying: "...you ask me about human affairs. Over a long period of time, many things come to pass which no one would wish to see or suffer. I propose seventy years as the average life span for a man. These seventy years represent, excluding intercalated months, 25,200 days." So this famed and learned ancient Greek calculated using a 360-day year.
Roman Plutarch's Parallel Lives Romans initially used a calendar which had 360 days, with varying length of months.[2] However, Macrobius' Saturnalia and Censorinus' The Birthday Book, claim that the original Roman calendar had 304 days split into 10 months.
Japan
Maya Mayan Long Count Calendar the equivalent of the year, the tun, was 360 days
360dayyear.com The Mayan baktun equals 144,000 days of exactly four hundred 360-day years. Their tun was a year of 360 days. Twenty tun equaled a katun, twenty katun equaled a baktun.
Inca Inca Calendar By Nick Drew: An interesting statistic to note is that the Inca calendar consisted of 12 months, each with 30 days, resulting in a 360-day calendar year
Norse Nanna Dead, Killed by his blind brother, Höðr, who was tricked by Loki into killing him with a spear of mistletoe.
