Recorded live on Halloween night inside Kosmogonia, Randall Carlson's online university.
In 2010 a newspaper column called Halloween the one holiday with no real lesson to teach. Randall disagrees. In the 19th century, Robert Grant Haliburton noticed that peoples who never met, from the ancient Peruvians and Egyptians to the Hindus, the Pacific Islanders and the Aboriginal Australians, all kept a festival of the dead in early November, and that many of them timed it by the same stars: the Pleiades. The Aztecs, the Egyptians and the Hebrews also tied the memory of the Great Flood to the same season.
Randall follows that thread through the Samhain bonfires and the Chacoan signal towers, Tzontemoc, the Aztec falling god who came down with the stars and the Lord of the Dead, the Codex Borgia and the Codex Vaticanus, the Dog Star, and Mithras driving his sword into the bull's shoulder, where the Pleiades sit. Then he turns to the science: the Taurid meteor stream, the "Halloween fireballs" that Earth crosses every year with their radiant on the Pleiades, Victor Clube and Bill Napier's model of a giant comet breaking apart, Comet Encke, the asteroid Hephaestus, and the Tunguska explosion of June 30, 1908.
He closes with the Jewish folk tale in which God pulled stars from the Pleiades to open the windows of heaven, John Martin's Eve of the Deluge, Satan falling "as lightning" from heaven, and the broom star behind the witch on her broom. His conclusion: Halloween may be the last trace of a night our ancestors watched the sky fall.
