ADAMS,
Rivers of Life, or Faiths of Man in all Lands.
has in these days the general meaning of with, and junction; and if a substantive, as
I believe it was in far back days before the Greek and Latin tongues had sprung from
Dorians, Pelasgians, Egyptians, Phenicians, &c., it would appear to have signified
Joiner, Conjoiner, or Conjunx (husband or wife), or Ko-(n)-junx, which the Sun was
ever held to be of all the animal kingdom. The word Co-lonia is only explainable, I
think, as the settlerd round a Co-El, or the god Ko, for no rude tribe would cluster together
in the East till they had set up their Columna. The Baton or Distaff, the Jahveh
Nissi of Moses, was by the ancients called Colus. In Greek Komos is a revller; Kon, in
the old languages of Europe, is a phallic obelisk or Sun-Dart, and clearly related to that
Eastem phraseology which makes Bod or Boodh wisdom, and “the enlivening goad,”
or dart, which stirs us up intellectually as otherwise; for the scintillations of the mind
and passions in ancient days were not kept so widely apart as our philosophies and
religions have since taught. Conor is to “strive” or “endeavour,” which Valpy and
Littleton derive (inter alia) from Conus (a cone) in the metaphorical sense in which all
lines converge to, or concentrate in, a single point—a fit emblem of the Sun as the Radiator
and Darter, the Ko-Or, or Ko-Ar, Apollo or Aries. This agrees with the meaning
Valpy assigns Co, which, he says (alluding to Co-nor and Co-go “to drive together”)
gives increased force to whatever applied; 1 he also thinks Conor may possibly be
connected with the Ang. Sax. Con or Coon (German Kühn), “brave, daring.” The driving
or impelling pole of a vessel is in Greek Kontos, in Latin Contus: and even if we go
to the ordinary statement tbat Co or Con is from Cum (Greek Hom), we only land
ourselves either in the great Indian Aum, Ham or Am—the active power of Kon the
Sun, or in Ko-On, or Ko-Am. The Greeks called his namesake—the Dogstar Sirius, by
the name of Kuōn, Kuwn, and Zeus Kwm-uroj or Cham-Ur, and P’ Ur.
In his active capacity, however, we know the Sun mostly with compounds
of Ab or Ad, and Am; thus Ad-ām was a name of Saturn, 2 and we have its
variant Ad-me, still signifying man and the phallus in India. Adam, says the Rev.
Mr. Vale, “is Tor, which became Stor (in S’tur-n) and means Adam’s Rest. Tor answering
to the Mouth, becomes Mars, the ancient beginning of the Year or Time.” The

Reverend gentleman does not explain what he means by
Rest, but goes on to show that the writer of “Revelation”
knew all about “Tors” and “Adamus,” when he used that
Cabalistic number 666, as the two names according to him
make up this number (see margin). 3 The second Saturn is
also worked out with equal care and erudition, and little as
we might expect it, we thus see the clergy beginning to
grasp the fact, though in this strange theological way, that
Jewish Patriarchs and demi-gods were the old Phallic or
Solo-Phallic Gods; but to return.
My readers are aware that Cahen, Kan, or Kon—the sun, has various canine
