The Hermetic Hour - A podcast by The Hermetic Hour - Fridays
Categories:
On Thursday June 18th, 2015 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present a discussion on ancient Mesopotamian Mythology and its relation to the Canaanite myths that comprise the Seasonal ceremonies of the Order of the Temple of Astarte. As our in studio guest we will have Frater Isa from our Ubar Encampment in Dallas, Texas. We will touch on such subjects as the Annunaki (Elder Gods), How Man was created by the Earth Goddess as a slave of the Gods, how Oannes brought civilization to the Sumerians, and the numerous parallels between Canaanite and Mesopotamian myth and legend. Our primary text will be John Gray's Near Eastern Mythology which is cross-comparative. If you have been curious about the similarities between Ishtar and Astarte, or Baal and Marduk, then tune in and we will try to sort out the pre-Biblical family-trees for you.
