The Ancient Tradition: Audio Writ - The Maidu Creation (w/Exegesis)

The Maidu Creation (w/Exegesis)

The Ancient Tradition: Audio Writ

play

09/24/24 • 32 min

In the early 1900s, the creation account of the Native American Maidu people, whose ancestral lands are located in northern California in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, was documented in Volume 17 of the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History. During the mid-19th century, amid the Gold Rush, the Maidu people had significant encounters with European settlers. The extent to which these interactions influenced their creation narrative is unclear.

The Maidu account is notable for its anthropomorphic description of the creator, the inclusion of co-creators, mention of a “sky rope”, mention of a raft on the primordial waters, the growth of a sacred tree, the onset of physical entropy on the earth, and most importantly, an account of the creator visiting and imparting important instructions to the First Man, instructions which the First Man subsequently imparts to the Maidu people.

The Ancient Tradition: Audio Writ - The Osiris Myth

The Osiris Myth

The Ancient Tradition: Audio Writ

play

12/14/23 • 21 min

The Osiris myth was one of the most prominent and influential myths in ancient Egypt; it permeated virtually every aspect of ancient Egyptian life. While a singular manuscript of the myth remains elusive, allusions to the myth are abundant in a number of ancient Egyptian sources including the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, and the Book of the Dead. In the early 1900s, Scottish journalist and folklorist, Donald Alexander McKenzie, compiled the scattered elements of the myth into a unified historical narrative, which serves as the source of today's audio recording.
In the myth, the god Set, jealous of his brother Osiris’s kingship over Egypt, concocts a cunning plan to kill him. At a grand royal feast, Set unveils an exquisitely adorned chest, declaring that the one who perfectly fits its dimensions shall claim it as a prize. One by the one, the guests attempt to fit within the chest, but none succeed until the benevolent king Osiris fits flawlessly inside. Seizing the opportunity, Set’s malevolent followers spring up, ruthlessly nailing the chest shut, tragically suffocating Osiris. Set secretly orders his followers to dump the coffin into the Nile river. Devastated by the loss, Isis, Osiris’ queen consort, tirelessly searches the riverbank for any trace of the chest or her beloved’s remains.

The Ancient Tradition: Audio Writ - The Shabaka Stone

The Shabaka Stone

The Ancient Tradition: Audio Writ

play

06/06/23 • 15 min

In 1805, the British Museum acquired one of its first...and most important,
ancient Egyptian artifacts, the Shabaka Stone, an unassuming green breccia millstone. The inscription on the stone sat untranslated in the museum for nearly 100 years before American Egyptologist James Henry Breasted translated it into English in 1901. It was only then that Egyptologists realized the profound significance of what they had in their possession- a copy of the world's earliest (arguably) surviving creation story.
The stone’s inscription begins with a list of King Shabaka’s royal names followed by a dramatic account of the unification of Upper and lower Egypt. The inscription concludes with a description of the Supreme God Ptah’s creation of the gods, the cosmos, and the earth.

The Ancient Tradition: Audio Writ - The Book of the Holy Secrets of Enoch, Chapters 61-73
play

03/27/23 • 31 min

The Book of the Holy Secrets of Enoch, a Jewish apocalyptic writing, is one of the most compelling ancient texts to survive to the present day. Although knowledge of the book was unknown in the West until 1892, Slavonic manuscripts of the book survived in Russia for more than 1200 years. Although not part of the Biblical canon today, R.H. Charles, editor of the first English translation (1896), noted that it was "much used...by Christian[s]...in the early centuries". Considering its status as a Jewish book, it's intriguing that early Christians and not Jews were the ones known to have preserved it. The preservation of the text, coupled with references to the text in early Christian writings and among early Church theologians and ecclesiastical leaders, suggests the text may have constituted part of the sanctioned canon of the early Church. The book is included here for its exceptional preservation of many elements of The Ancient Tradition.
In this audio recording of The Book of the Holy Secrets of Enoch , Chapters 61-73, Enoch teaches his children to make offerings with a pure heart. He encourages them to look to God and love one another. Enoch is taken to heaven and darkness covers the land. Enoch's son, Methuselah, erects an altar and makes offerings to God. The Lord appears to Methuselah in a dream and appoints him High Priest. The elders of the people dress Methuselah in priestly clothes and place a crown on his head. When Methuselah is close to death, the Lord commands him to give his priestly clothes to Nir, his grandson. Nir's wife, Sopanim, immaculately conceives a child. Noah and Nir dress the child in priestly clothes and name him Melchizedek. Melchizedek reigns as the first priest and king of Salem (Jerusalem).

He declares God has a face like man's, he speaks of the scales of the end-time judgment, and teaches his children to make offerings with a pure heart.

Enoch gathers his son Methuselah's family, along with the elders of the people, to bless them. He testifies the Lord "came down to the earth" in the days of Adam and appointed Adam a King over all the peoples and creatures on the earth.

The Lord commands Enoch to write the holy secrets down in books and share them with his children.
