Amon/Amen Etymology

Yeah, I’m pretty opposed to etymology mixing and how the New Age promotes blatantly retro-active ideas and goes about with silliness like Sun and Son and whatever haha. That is not what this thread was actually about though but is a worthwhile point because the appropriation style and mixing of ideas with different origins and etymologies is actually very old. For example, Cronus was associated with El or Allah likely due to the common epithet of Splitting the Heavens and the Earth which was the major function of Cronus the splitter. The idea also had very ancient comnection to near eastern cosmological stories anyway. Amun was conflated with Hammon and and possibly other terms or epithets and then later was thought similar to Amon or Nahum in demonology. This all occurred before the New Age movement or their pseudo-scientific approaches to things.

Ultimately, even though I disagree with false and folk etymologies, I don’t consider them necessarily coincidental or entirely wishful thinking. I think however it comes about, something is still being said. That was the purpose for each link I selected for reading in this and other threads. To follow the hints and clues and interesting and repeated features. To notice the snakes and ravens and rams horns, the various elements being repeated and stated and implied beyond concerns of etymological mixing since human thinking is underlying each conceptualization.

Yeah, and syncretism and synthesis is an important tool in my view, but it can be approached honestly or dishonestly.

Yeah totally. I think its a real mystical force even though humans act as its agents.

That the Syncretism was not just the pure silliness of Rome for example, but an overall force in action through Roman policy and tendency.
