"On Fontenrose's Review of "The Cult of the Serpent
The Bicephalous "Animal Style" in Northern Eurasian Religious Art and Its Western Hemispheric Analogues [and Comments and Reply]
Zoomorphic motifs, including a great variety of artistic variations on the theme of double-headedness, are a useful criterion in iconographic approaches to the ethnoarcheology of New and Old World cultures. These motifs, which are fostered even today in the animal-centered traditions of hunting peoples and their descendants in northern Eurasia and the Americas, seem to have been introduced into North America, via Beringia, at least 14,000 to 10,0…

Mandalas and Mesoamerican Pecked Circles [and Comments and Reply]
The notion of the archetype of the Self in Jungian psychology and its expression in mandala or sacred-circle symbolism is reviewed. The role of mandalas in Hinduism and Buddhism is then briefly discussed, with special emphasis on Vajrayana Buddhism. The universality of the mandala and its function of aiding the integration of the individual into the Absolute is stressed by also examining the sacred rites of the Oglala Sioux. Then it is shown how …
Ayya in Islamic Thought
Pre-Columbian Old World Coins in America
Does the occasional find of a Roman, Greek, or Hebrew coin in America indicate ancient transoceanic contact? In this study, 40 reports of such coins are analyzed in order to determine whether any can support the diffusionist position. Discovery dates, minting periods, geographical distribution, and the absence of prehistoric context all suggest that the coins were lost very recently. For those who argue that coins found in fields and farmyards ma…
The Female Lingam
The main purpose of the paper is to refute the rigid psychoanalytic determinism which holds that we cannot help attributing an exclusively male or female meaning to certain sexual symbols. Simultaneously it attempts to show that symbols are not as context-bound as structuralists are inclined to think, since the reversals of meanings discussed mostly refer to the individual symbol without affecting the context. A series of iconographic symbols and…

On the Alleged Diffusion of Hindu Symbols to Mesoamerica
The Alleged Diffusion of Hindu Divine Symbols into Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica
Parallels between certain religous symbols in Hindu and Mesoamerican cultures have been drawn by three modern writers and adduced as evidence suggestive of trans-Pacific diffusion of Hindu influences dating to about the mid-1st millennium A.D. and later. The symbols concerned are those of the deities of the lunar asterisms and the planets-the naksatra and navagrahah series, respectively-of the Hindus as compared with the structural features and s…

The Cult of the Serpent in the Americas
The origins of ophiolatry in the Western Hemisphere are obscure. It may be part of an extremely ancient, worldwide pattern of veneration of cult animals; it may have arisen independently among the Northeast Asian immigrants to the New World only after they had crossed the Bering-Chukchi land bridge between at least 15,000 and 25,000 to 45,000 years ago; or it may have been affected, if not imported, by serpent- (or dragon-) venerating societies o…
