Thoth -- A Catastrophics Newsletter (Archive)

The Thunderbolts Project Presents:

THOTH -- A Catastrophics Newsletter

The THOTH electronic newsletter is an outgrowth of scientific and scholarly discussions in the emerging field of astral catastrophics. Our initial focus will be on a reconstruction of ancient astral myths and symbols in relation to a new theory of planetary history. Serious readers must allow some time for these radically different ideas to be fleshed out and for the relevant background to be developed. The general tenor of the ideas and information presented in THOTH is supported by the editor and publisher, but there will always be plenty of room for differences of interpretation.

Curator's Note: While great pains were taken in curating this archive, the original source was an e-mail newsletter, copied to text files. It is entirely possible that in the process of curating this archive or due to problems with the original source material, some errors may have crept in.
