x-X-xIn a generalized sense, messiah has "the connotation of a savior or redeemer who would appear at the end of days and usher in the kingdom of God, the restoration of Israel, or whatever dispensation was considered to be the ideal state of the world.Messianism "denotes a movement, or a system of beliefs and ideas, centered on the expectation of the advent of a messiah." Orthodox views hold that the Messiah will be descended from his father through the line of King David, and will gather the Jews back into the Land of Israel, usher in an era of peace, build the Third Temple, father a male heir, re-institute the Sanhedrin, and so on. [The Sanhedrin : ('sitting together,' 'assembly' or 'council') was an assembly of either 23 or 71 elders (known as "rabbis" after the destruction of the Second Temple), appointed to sit as a tribunal in every city in the ancient Land of Israel.There were two classes of Rabbinite Jewish courts which were called Sanhedrin, the Great Sanhedrin and the Lesser Sanhedrin.A lesser Sanhedrin of 23 judges was appointed to sit as a tribunal in each city, but there was only supposed to be one Great Sanhedrin of 71 judges, which among other roles acted as the Supreme Court, taking appeals from cases which were decided by lesser courts.In general usage, the Sanhedrin without qualifier normally refers to the Great Sanhedrin, which was presided over by the Nasi, who functioned as its head or representing president, and was a member of the court; the Av Beit Din or the chief of the court, who was second to the nasi; and 69 general members.Before 191 BCE the High Priest acted as the (ex officio) head of the Sanhedrin, but in 191 BCE, when the Sanhedrin lost confidence in the High Priest, the office of Nasi was created.After the time of Hillel the Elder (late 1st century BCE and early 1st century CE), the Nasi was almost invariably a descendant of Hillel. The second highest-ranking member of the Sanhedrin was called the Av Beit Din, or 'Head of the Court' (literally, Av Beit Din means 'father of the house of judgment'), who presided over the Sanhedrin when it sat as a criminal court.
He is popularly known as the author of two sayings:"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And being for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?"And"That which is hateful to you, do not do unto your fellow.

Latvia in World War II
Early in the morning of 24 August 1939, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed a 10-year non-aggression pact, called the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact. The pact contained a secret protocol, revealed only after Germany's defeat in 1945, according to which the states of Northern and Eastern Europe were divided into German and Soviet "spheres of influence". In the north, Latvia, Finland and Estonia were assigned to the Soviet sphere. A week later, on 1 September 1939, Germany invaded Poland; on 17 September, the Soviet Union invaded Poland as well.
[In the field of international relations, a sphere of influence is a spatial region or concept division over which a state or organization has a level of cultural, economic, military or political exclusivity.]
After the conclusion of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, most of the Baltic Germans left Latvia by agreement between Ulmanis's government and Nazi Germany under the Heim ins Reich programme. In total 50,000 Baltic Germans left by the deadline of December 1939, with 1,600 remaining to conclude business and 13,000 choosing to remain in Latvia. Most of those who remained left for Germany in summer 1940, when a second resettlement scheme was agreed.The racially approved being resettled mainly in Poland, being given land and businesses in exchange for the money they had received from the sale of their previous assets.
On 5 October 1939, Latvia was forced to accept a "mutual assistance" pact with the Soviet Union, granting the Soviets the right to station between 25,000 and 30,000 troops on Latvian territory. State administrators were murdered and replaced by Soviet cadres.
Elections were held with single pro-Soviet candidates listed for many positions. The resulting people's assembly immediately requested admission into the USSR, which the Soviet Union granted. Latvia, then a puppet government, was headed by Augusts Kirhenšteins. The Soviet Union incorporated Latvia on 5 August 1940, as the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic.
The Soviets dealt harshly with their opponents – prior to Operation Barbarossa, in less than a year, at least 34,250 Latvians were deported or killed. Most were deported to Siberia where deaths were estimated at 40 percent.
On 22 June 1941, German troops attacked Soviet forces in Operation Barbarossa. There were some spontaneous uprisings by Latvians against the Red Army which helped the Germans. By 29 June Riga was reached and with Soviet troops killed, captured or retreating, Latvia was left under the control of German forces by early July.
The occupation was followed immediately by SS Einsatzgruppen troops, who were to act in accordance with the Nazi Generalplan Ost that required the population of Latvia to be cut by 50 percent.
Under German occupation, Latvia was administered as part of Reichskommissariat Ostland. Latvian paramilitary and Auxiliary Police units established by the occupation authority participated in the Holocaust and other atrocities.30,000 Jews were shot in Latvia in the autumn of 1941. Another 30,000 Jews from the Riga ghetto were killed in the Rumbula Forest in November and December 1941, to reduce overpopulation in the ghetto and make room for more Jews being brought in from Germany and the West. There was a pause in fighting, apart from partisan activity, until after the siege of Leningrad ended in January 1944, and the Soviet troops advanced, entering Latvia in July and eventually capturing Riga on 13 October 1944._____Operation Barbarossa was the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany and many of its Axis allies, starting on Sunday, 22 June 1941, during the Second World War. It was the largest land offensive in human history, with around 10 million combatants taking part. The operation, code-named after Frederick Barbarossa ("red beard"), a 12th-century Holy Roman Emperor and Crusader, put into action Nazi Germany's ideological goal of conquering the western Soviet Union to repopulate it with Germans. The German Generalplan Ost aimed to use some of the conquered people as forced labour for the Axis war effort while acquiring the oil reserves of the Caucasus as well as the agricultural resources of various Soviet territories, including Ukraine and Byelorussia. Their ultimate goal was to create more Lebensraum (living space) for Germany, and the eventual extermination of the native Slavic peoples by mass deportation to Siberia, Germanisation, enslavement, and genocide._____Ultimate Invasion by Marvel Comics (2023)Issue 4As Howard and Reed Richards of Earth-6160 are finishing the Immortus Engine, Reed tells Howard that he know secrets about the Maker, such as where he came from and how he shaped the world into what it is now. With the Immortus Engine now finished, Reed suggests to Howard a feedback mechanism to account for the Immortus Engine to be able to traverse back and forth through time. As Howard asks Reed how long he's been trapped in his lab, Reed remarks how he gave up keeping track of time after the Maker continued to mock him though the use of light that was let into the room and tells Howard he cannot run from who he is. One week later, Howard is about gives the Immortus Engine to the Maker. Howard remarks that the original Immortus Engine was made by someone else, most likely the Maker from the past, with the Maker remarking that maybe he'll take it to his past self and then will make his own Immortus Engine, continuing the loop. Howard then tells the Maker he's grown tired over having to choose between ether Maker or Kang, so he has Reed shut down the shield surrounding The City just long enough to allow Kang and army to arrive and seal them in The City with them. [Issue 2It is then shown that Howard Stark is the Iron Man of Earth-6160 with Tony Stark working at Stark Industries. He and Obadiah arrive at The City where the convergence of incorporated nation-states would occur. Also in attendance are an enlightened Hulk and his fellow monks, Sunfire, Viper, and Silver Samurai representing that Harada-Yoshida Alliance, Colossus, Magik, and Omega Red of the Rasputin family. The Maker comes out of The City to greet them as he quotes "Well, I'm waiting." A wormhole opens up as clones of Captain America, Giant-Man, Thor, Vision, and Wasp attack The City. As Howard Stark didn't bring his armor as advised, Obadiah had brought his armor and fights the clone army until he is killed by a Vision clone. Hulk, the Harada-Yashida Alliance, and the Rasputin family fight the clone army and slay most of them as Howard falls unconscious. Maker later wakes Howard up and informs him that Obadiah is dead. He is then shown the captive clones that survived, as Maker explains to Howard that these were a group of temporal suicide bombers from the future as a group of people are herded in. Maker has the group of innocents vaporized, with the captive clones disintegrating following this, proving to Howard that they were from the future. When Howard expresses his concerns that they'll try to go back and kill Maker in his crib, Maker explains to Howard that he is not of this Earth and that if they were to take him out, it would be at the height of his power.END Issue 2]Issue 3Magik then speaks out before everyone demanding the information on who attacked them and where Maker is. Howard then notes to Henri that he had heard that the Rasputins are the European Union's enemies as Emmanuel was surprised that Obadiah didn't tell Howard how everything works here. Hulk even comments that everyone takes turns playing the "adversary" here like the Rasputins are doing right now. Maker then arrives claiming that "The little people us--We giants who rule the lands". As Howard is welcomed into the group, he asks Maker what the "real work" is that they do. Maker then quotes "Now we are getting somewhere".[Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was a Russian mystic and holy man. He is best-known for having befriended the imperial family of Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia, through whom he gained considerable influence in the final years of the Russian Empire.]Maker has established The City in Latveria.

x-X-x_____THE TENETS OF THE END_____
The main tenets of Jewish eschatology are the following, in no particular order, elaborated in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel:-End of world (before everything as follows).-God redeems the Jewish people from the captivity that began during the Babylonian Exile, in a new Exodus-God returns the Jewish people to the Land of Israel-God restores the House of David and the Temple in Jerusalem-God creates a regent from the House of David (i.e. the Jewish Messiah) to lead the Jewish people and the world and usher in an age of justice and peace-All nations recognize that the God of Israel is the only true God-God resurrects the dead-God creates a new heaven and a new earthx-X-x_____JERUSALEM/ZIONMelchisedech or Malki Tzedek: 'King of righteousness' or 'my king is righteousness
_____
King of Salem and priest of El Elyon ('most high God'). He is first mentioned in Genesis where he brings out bread and wine and then blesses Abram and El Elyon.In Christianity, Christ is identified as "High priest forever in the order of Melchizedek", and assumes the role of High Priest once and for all. Chazalic literature – specifically Targum Jonathan, Targum Yerushalmi, and the Babylonian Talmud – presents his name as a nickname for ShemAccording to some Jewish traditions, Shem is believed to have been Melchizedek, King of Salem whom Abraham is recorded to have met after the Battle of the Four Kings.(Four kings = Four pillars?)It has also been theorized that the suffix Zedek may have been or become a reference to a Canaanite deity worshipped in pre-Israelite Jerusalem. An Ugaritic reference older than 12th century BCE to a god named Ṣaduq ('righteousness') has also been found, a possible forerunner of Sydyk being included in personal names.
[NOTE
A search for "Sa priestess" will lead you to the title 'priestess of Hathor'
"The rise, fall and extinction of the priestesses of Hathor are seen in ancient Egyptian culture. The women who wanted to become socially powerful usually took refuge in religion and took the charge of priesthood."
A search for "Dike" will lead to the daughter of Zeus (Jupiter) and Themis (Oracle of prophecies)
DIKE: The goddess of justice and the spirit of moral order and fair judgement as a transcendent universal ideal or based on immemorial custom, in the sense of socially enforced norms and conventional rules. According to Hesiod, She and her mother are both personifications of justice. She is depicted as a young, slender woman carrying a balance scale and wearing a laurel wreath. The constellation Libra (the Scales) was anciently thought to represent her distinctive symbol.
Saduq: Zedek: Sydyk : Sa Dike = Righteousness
END NOTE]
Philo of Byblos gave the Greek meaning of the name as Δίκαιον "Righteousness", thus indicating that the word corresponds to the Semitic root for "righteousness", √ṣdq.A Phoenician god named ṣdq is well attested epigraphically; he is also mentioned by Philo as half of a pair of deities with Misor. Sydyk and Misor are described as being born from Amunos and Magos, who were in turn born from the "Wanderers" or Titans.Sydyk is described as the father of the "Dioskouroi or Kabeiroi or Korybants or Samothracians", who are credited with the invention of the ship.The Phoenician Sydyk was equated with Roman Jupiter, and hence it has been suggested that Sydyk was connected to the worship of the planet Jupiter as the manifestation of justice or righteousness.Some names, like the rare name ṣdqmlk (Phoenician king of Lapathus and a personal name from Carchemish Phoenician inscription), mlky ṣdq, ṣdqʾ (king of Ashkelon under Sennacherib and a personal name fron an inscription from Kition), might be theophories of the god Sydyk.(Could Sydyk Mlk be a Jupiter-Moloch conjunction? It is not uncommon to see Jupiter associated with the bull. Could this be the righteous bull?)It has also been conjectured that a related deity named or titled "Tzedek" ( "righteousness") was worshipped in pre-Israelite Jerusalem as the names of two kings of the city, Melchizedek and Adoni-zedek contain the element tzedek. According to one such hypothesis, "Tzedek" was an epithet of the god El. However the mainstream understanding of these names (meaning "My King is Righteousness" and "My Lord is Righteousness" respectively) is that they refer to the concept of righteousness and not to a god.The Hebrew form appears in Latin letters in Standard Hebrew transcription as El and in Tiberian Hebrew transcription as ʾĒl. Such is a generic word for god that could be used for any god
Including Hadad, Moloch, or Yahweh
One scholarly position is that the identification of Yahweh with ʼĒl is late, that Yahweh was earlier thought of as only one of many gods, and not normally identified with ʼĒl. Another is that in much of the Hebrew Bible the name El is an alternative name for Yahweh, but in the Elohist and Priestly traditions it is considered an earlier name than Yahweh.In some places, especially in Psalm 29, Yahweh is clearly envisioned as a storm god, something not true of ʼĒl so far as we know (although true of his son, Ba'al Haddad).It is Yahweh who is prophesied to one day battle Leviathan the serpent, and slay the dragon in the sea in Isaiah 27:1. The slaying of the serpent in myth is a deed attributed to both Ba'al Hadad and 'Anat in the Ugaritic texts, but not to ʼĒl.(Several storm gods, including Thor/Donar, have been associated with the battle against the serpent. )What is certain is that the form 'El does appear in Israelite names from every period including the name Yiśrā'ēl ("Israel"), meaning "El strives".A bilingual inscription from Palmyra dated to the 1st century equates ʼĒl-Creator-of-the-Earth with the Greek god Poseidon. Going back to the 8th century BCE, the bilingual inscription at Karatepe in the Taurus Mountains equates ʼĒl-Creator-of-the-Earth to Luwian hieroglyphs read as da-a-ś, this being the Luwian form of the name of the Babylonian water god Ea, lord of the abyss of water under the earth.
(This inscription lists ʼĒl in second place in the local pantheon, following Ba'al Shamîm and preceding the Eternal Sun.)(THINK: Shamîm: Shalim : Shem : Khem
Ba'al Shamîm: The Black Sun)
Poseidon is known to have been worshipped in Beirut, his image appearing on coins from that city. Poseidon of Beirut was also worshipped at Delos where there was an association of merchants, shipmasters, and warehousemen called the Poseidoniastae of Berytus founded in 110 or 109 BCE. Three of the four chapels at its headquarters on the hill northwest of the Sacred Lake were dedicated to Poseidon, the Tyche of the city equated with Astarte (that is 'Ashtart), and to Eshmun.(Mr:Moor:Mer:Mare = Sea/Water. Is it a stretch to say the three brothers -Jupiter/Saturn/Neptune- all represent different aspects of the same archetypal 'Father and his Suns'?)Also at Delos, that association of Tyrians, though mostly devoted to Heracles-Melqart, elected a member to bear a crown every year when sacrifices to Poseidon took place. A banker named Philostratus donated two altars, one to Palaistine Aphrodite Urania ('Ashtart) and one to Poseidon "of Ascalon.
Though Sanchuniathon distinguishes Poseidon from his Elus/Cronus, this might be a splitting off of a particular aspect of ʼĒl in alternative account. Identification of an aspect of ʼĒl with Poseidon rather than with Cronus might have been felt to better fit with Hellenistic religious practice, if indeed this Phoenician Poseidon really is the ʼĒl who dwells at the source of the two deeps in Ugaritic texts. More information is needed to be certain.

Storm gods are most often conceived of as wielding thunder and/or lightning (some lightning gods' names actually mean "thunder", but since one cannot have thunder without lightning, they presumably wielded both).(Jupiter-El: Lightning, Filiments, Electronics , Power. Your appliances would be nothing without him. )
The ancients didn't seem to differentiate between the two, which is presumably why both the words "lightning bolt" and "thunderbolt" exist despite being synonyms. Of the examples currently listed storm themed deities are more frequently depicted as male, but both male and female storm or other rain, wind, or weather deities are described.
_Canaanite_
Ba'al: Canaanite god of fertility, weather, and war.Hadad: the Canaanite and Carthaginian storm, fertility, & war god. Identified as Baʿal's true name at Ugarit.Yahweh: Israelite storm and war god, who became synonymous with El, Ba'al and Asherah into the Yahwist religion.

During the Canaanite period (14th century BCE), Jerusalem was named as Urusalim on ancient Egyptian tablets, probably meaning "City of Shalem" after a Canaanite deity.(SEE: Urzulie or Ursula)Shalim : Šalām: Shalem : ŠLMGod in Canaanite religion, mentioned in inscriptions found in Ugarit (Ras Shamra) in Syria. Shalem is identified as the god of dusk and Shahar as god of the dawn. In the Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible , Shalim is also identified as the deity representing Venus or the "Evening Star" and Shahar the "Morning Star".
His name derives from the triconsonantal Semitic root Š-L-M ("whole, safe, sound, peace").
Parents: El (father) Asherah (mother)An Ugaritic myth known as The Gracious and Most Beautiful Gods, describes Shalim and his brother Shahar as offspring of El through two women he meets at the seashore. They are both nursed by "The Lady", likely Asherah, and have appetites as large as "(one) lip to the earth and (one) lip to the heaven." In other Ugaritic texts, the two are associated with the sun goddess.Another inscription is a sentence repeated three times in a para-mythological text, "Let me invoke the gracious gods, the voracious gods of ym." Ym in most Semitic languages means "day," and Shalim and Shahar, twin deities of the dusk and dawn, were conceived of as its beginning and end.(SEE: YAM, water deity)
Many scholars believe that the name of Shalim is preserved in the name of the city Jerusalem. The god Shalim may have been associated with dusk and the evening star in the etymological senses of a "completion" of the day, "sunset" and "peace"

The Plot to Kill Jesus
Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread called the Passover was approaching, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve. And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them. They were delighted and agreed to give him money. Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.
Preparing the Passover
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters, and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’ And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
The Last Supper
When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles. And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering. For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.b
Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table. Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

The cult statue of Serapis that Ptolemy I erected in Alexandria enriched the texture of the Serapis conception by portraying him in a combination of both Egyptian and Greek styles.The statue suitably depicted a figure resembling Hades or Pluto, both being kings of the Greek underworld, and was shown enthroned with the modius, a basket / grain-measure (Virgo), on his head, since it was a Greek symbol for the land of the dead.
He also held a sceptre in his hand indicating his rulership, with Cerberus (The Hound of Sirius), gatekeeper of the underworld, resting at his feet. The statue also had what appeared to be a serpent at its base, fitting the Egyptian symbol of rulership, the uraeus.

The Star (Osiris, The Dog Star ("Sirius")
is the 17th ranking or Major Arcana card in most traditional tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.A naked woman kneels by the water; one foot is in the water and one foot is on the land. Above her head is one large star, representing her core essences, and seven smaller stars, representing the chakras.The star is typically eight-pointed, but some late 15th-century depictions depict a six-pointed star instead.(SEE: Star of David)In each hand she holds a jug. From one jug she pours a liquid into the water. From the other jug she pours a liquid onto the land. Temperance, the 14th Major Arcana card, also has a foot on both land and water while pouring water, but is depicted as standing and rigid.(Temperance: It is suggested that the figure once represented Ganymede, who served as cup bearer to Zeus. Though it is possible that the figure could also be the goddess Iris or the archangel Michael. The former of these interpretations is supported by the rainbow which is often added above her head and the fact that the flowers pictured in the Rider–Waite Tarot version of the card are Irises.)It is the first out of three cards in the Major Arcana to depict celestial imagery. Sometimes three men, representing the three Magi are depicted below the Star.
The Star represents: New hopes and splendid revelations of the future, insight, inspiration, courage and enlightenment of the spiritual self. Body and mind and converging towards the light at the end of a dark time(s).Another reading says Yes, hope and bright prospects; reversed (something opposed to the original demiurge impulse, the inner all-embracing meaning of the card) -- loss, theft, privation, hubris, abandonment, arrogance, haughtiness, impotence.In astrology, the Star card is associated with the planet Uranus and Aquarius zodiac sign.In the Adventure Time franchise, powerful vampires are named after tarot cards. Marceline the Vampire Queen is named after The Star.(Get it? We called him Marcello? The Martian-Maurean

In folklore, stone axes were sometimes believed to be thunderbolts and were used to guard buildings against lightning, as it was believed (mythically) that lightning never struck the same place twice. This has caused some skewing of axe distributions.
In ancient Crete, the double axe was an important sacred symbol of the Minoan religion. In Crete the double axe only accompanies goddesses, never gods. It seems that it was the symbol of the arche of the creation.[ Mater-arche: In Ancient Greek philosophy, a first principle from which other principles are derived is called an arche and later "first principle" or "element".Arche, sometimes also transcribed as arkhé, is an Ancient Greek word with primary senses "beginning", "origin" or "source of action": from the beginning, οr the original argument, "command". The first principle or element corresponds to the "ultimate underlying substance" and "ultimate indemonstrable principle
In the Near East and other parts of the region, eventually, axes of this sort often are wielded by male divinities and appear to become symbols of the thunderbolt, a symbol often found associated with the axe symbol.]
In Labraunda of Caria the double-axe accompanies the storm-god Zeus Labraundos. The labrys, or pelekys, is the double axe Zeus uses to invoke storm and, the relatively modern Greek word for lightning is "star-axe" (astropeleki).In Roman Crete, the labrys was often associated with the mythological Amazons - the labrys is sometimes used as a symbol of Hellenic polytheism. As a symbol of the neopagan Goddess movement, the labrys represents the memory of pre-patriarchal matristic societies.In Yorùbá mythology, the oshe (double-headed axe) symbolises Shango, Orisha (god) of thunder and lightning. It is said to represent swift and balanced justice. Shango altars often contain a carved figure of a woman holding a gift to the god with a double-bladed axe sticking up from her head.
The Hurrian and Hittite weather god Teshub is depicted on a bas-relief wielding a thunderbolt and an axe.
God lists show that Teshub could be recognized as the equivalent of other weather gods worshipped in Mesopotamia and further west in Syria, including Adad and Ugaritic Baal. His Hittite and Luwian name was Tarhun.
(Tar: Tor : Torus : Taurus)
Shango is viewed as the most powerful and feared of the orisha pantheon. He casts a "thunderstone" to earth, which creates thunder and lightning, to anyone who offends him. He is said to be the son of Oranyan (Orion), and his wives include Oya, Oshun, and Oba, as in the Yoruba tradition.

Saint Brigid: They say Brigid was the daughter of a chieftain and a slave woman, and was raised in a druid's household before becoming a consecrated virgin. She is patroness of many things, including poetry, learning, healing, protection, blacksmithing, livestock and dairy production.(THINK: Hera giving birth to Hephaestus or Hathor, the Milky way or Isis nursing Horus)According to tradition, Brigid founded a monastery at Kildare (Cill Dara, "church of the oak"), on the site of a pagan shrine to the Celtic goddess Brigid, served by a group of young women who tended an eternal flame.[SEE: Oak"Did one ever hear of an oak-tree having a heart? And yet in the oak-tree in whose branches Absalom was caught, we read that upon its heart he was held up still alive while the darts (*3) were thrust through him.This is to show that when a man becomes so heartless as to make war against his own father, nature itself takes on a heart to avenge the deed.]
Ó hÓgáin wrote that the combining of pagan goddess and Christian saint can be seen in some of the miracles, where Brigid multiplies food, bestows cattle and sheep, controls the weather, and is associated with fire or thermal springs.(REMEMBER: Thunder-Bull : Toroidal Field)One of the most well-known stories is of Brigid asking the King of Leinster for land.
She told the king that the place where she stood was the perfect spot for a convent. It was beside a forest where they could gather firewood and berries, there was a lake nearby that would provide water, and the land was fertile.The king laughed at her and refused to give her any land. Brigid prayed and asked God to soften the king's heart. Then she smiled at the king and said, "Will you give me as much land as my cloak will cover?" The king thought that she was joking and agreed. She told four of her sisters to take up the cloak, but instead of laying it flat on the turf, each sister, with face turned to a different point of the compass, began to run swiftly. The cloak grew in all directions and covered many acres of land. "(SEE : Cloak and Dagger, Cardinal Directions, Four faces: Four Pillars)Brigid, who was an expert dairywoman and brewer, was reputed to turn water into beer.The prayers of Saint Brigid were said to still the wind and the rain.

_____HOUSE OF DAVID, THE KING(Dāwīḏ, "beloved one")
_____
David was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the third king of the United Kingdom of Israel. Historians of the Ancient Near East agree that David probably lived c. 1000 BCE, but little more is known about him as a historical figure.According to Jewish works such as the Seder Olam Rabbah, Seder Olam Zutta, and Sefer ha-Qabbalah (all written over a thousand years later), David ascended the throne as the king of Judah in 885 BCE.
The Tel Dan stele, an Aramaic-inscribed stone erected by a king of Aram-Damascus in the late 9th/early 8th centuries BCE to commemorate a victory over two enemy kings, contains the phrase bytdwd, which is translated as "House of David" by most scholars.David is also richly represented in post-biblical Jewish written and oral tradition and referenced in the New Testament. Early Christians interpreted the life of Jesus of Nazareth in light of references to the Hebrew Messiah and to David; Jesus is described as being directly descended from David in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke.In the Quran and hadith, David is described as an Israelite king as well as a prophet of Allah. The biblical David has inspired many interpretations in art and literature over the centuriesIn the biblical narrative of the Books of Samuel, David is described as a young shepherd and harpist (lyre) who gains fame by killing Goliath.
(THINK: Frequency weapons, harmonic resonance, bell tones, musicians, bards, lyricists)
He becomes a favorite of Saul, the first king of Israel, but is forced to go into hiding when Saul suspects that David is trying to take his throne. After Saul and his son Jonathan are killed in battle, David is anointed king by the tribe of Judah and eventually all the tribes of Israel. He conquers Jerusalem, makes it the capital of a united Israel, and brings the Ark of the Covenant to the city.
(SOL and his son Ion are 'overwritten' and transfigurated into David and his Son, Solomon)
David desires to build a temple to Yahweh but is denied because of the bloodshed in his reign. He dies at age 70 and chooses Solomon, his son with Bathsheba, as his successor instead of his eldest son Adonijah (ADONAI). David is honored as an ideal king and the forefather of the future Hebrew Messiah in Jewish prophetic literature and many psalms are attributed to him.
_____SULEMAN, The Magnificent, SOLOMON, The Immortal
_____
Solomon ( also called Jedidiah) was a monarch of ancient Israel and the son and successor of King David, according to the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament. He is described as having been the penultimate ruler of an amalgamated Israel and Judah.The hypothesized dates of Solomon's reign are from 970–931 BCE. After his death, his son and successor Rehoboam would adopt a harsh policy towards the northern tribes, eventually leading to the splitting of the Israelites between the Kingdom of Israel in the north and the Kingdom of Judah in the south. Following the split, his patrilineal descendants ruled over Judah alone
_____[ADONAI/ADONI-YAH/ADONIS/TAMMUZ]
(Adōnis; Adón)
(The 'Other' Lord)_____According to the Book of Joshua, Adonizedek (Ăḏōnī-ṣeḏeq, also transliterated Adoni-zedec) was king of Jerusalem at the time of the Israelite invasion of Canaan.(Creed was said to have been sent in to destabilize governments. After this, the negotiator would enter and offer 'the deal'. Remember Captain Hook (7) and his hand for later. We'll elaborate.)
According to the Midrash, the name Adoni-zedek is translated as "Master of Zedek"—that is, "of Jerusalem", the city of righteousness.Genesis 14:18-20 records that, around 600 years prior to Adoni-zedek, there was another ruler of Jerusalem named Melchi-zedek. It may be possible that Zedek was a dynastic name/title for the rulers of Jerusalem before David.
As with Elohim, Adonai's grammatical form is usually explained as a plural of majesty. In the Hebrew Bible, the word is nearly always used to refer to God (around 450 occurrences).As pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided in the Hellenistic period, Jews may have begun to drop the Tetragrammaton when presented alongside Adonai and subsequently to expand it to cover for the Tetragrammaton in the forms of spoken prayer and written scripture.Owing to the expansion of chumra (the idea of "building a fence around the Torah"), the word "Adonai" itself has come to be too holy to say for Orthodox Jews outside of prayer, leading to its replacement by HaShem ("The Name").(REMEMBER: Shem : Chem : Khem : Salem)The Phoenicians used it as a title of Tammuz (the origin of the Greek Adonis). It is also used very occasionally in Hebrew texts to refer to God (See: Psalm 136:3.)
Deuteronomy 10:17 has the proper name Yahweh alongside the superlative constructions "God of gods" (elōhê ha-elōhîm, literally, "the gods of gods") and "Lord of lords" (adōnê ha-adōnîm, "the lords of lords")In Greek mythology, Adonis was the mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite and Persephone, who was famous for having achieved immortality. He was widely considered to be the ideal of male beauty in classical antiquity.
Tammuz ( Dumuzid; Duʾūzu, Dûzu; Tammûz),known to the Sumerians as Dumuzid the Shepherd and to the Canaanites as Adon, is an ancient Mesopotamian and Levantine deity associated with agriculture and shepherds, who was also the first and primary consort of the goddess Inanna (later known as Ishtar).(SEE: Selene and Endymion)In Sumerian mythology, Dumuzid's sister was Geshtinanna, the goddess of agriculture, fertility, and dream interpretation. In the Sumerian King List, Dumuzid is listed as an antediluvian king of the city of Bad-tibira and also an early king of the city of Uruk.
The poem Inanna Prefers the Farmer begins with a rather playful conversation between Inanna and her brother Utu, who incrementally reveals to her that it is time for her to marry. Dumuzid comes to court her, along with a farmer named Enkimdu.
At first, Inanna prefers the farmer, but Utu and Dumuzid gradually persuade her that Dumuzid is the better choice for a husband, arguing that, for every gift the farmer can give to her, the shepherd can give her something even better. In the end, Inanna marries Dumuzid.The shepherd and the farmer reconcile their differences, offering each other gifts._____COMPARE TO : Selene and Endymion
There is confusion over Endymion's identity, as some sources suppose that he was, or was related to, the prince of Elis, and others suggest he was a shepherd from Caria. There is also a later suggestion that he was an astronomer. Pliny the Elder mentions Endymion as the first human to observe the movements of the moon, which (according to Pliny) accounts for Endymion's infatuation with its tutelary goddess.Apollonius of Rhodes (3rd century BC) is one of the many poets who tell how Selene, the Titan goddess of the Moon, loved the mortal Endymion. She found Endymion so beautiful that she asked his father, Zeus, to grant him eternal youth so that he would never leave her.(NOTE: This account appears to combine Enkimdu and Tammuz into one.
Enkimdu, the farmer, representing the eternal youth of nature and the beauty of Tammuz-Adonis. Possibly done as a mirror to reflect aspects of Selene-Innana.
Parallel the image of Oshun sitting on the moon looking at her reflection in her mirror.]
Alternatively, Selene so loved how Endymion looked when he was asleep in the cave on Mount Latmus, near Miletus in Caria, that she entreated Zeus that he might remain that way. In some versions, Zeus wanted to punish Endymion for daring to show romantic interest in Hera (much like Ixion).Whatever the case, Zeus granted Selene's wish and put Endymion into an eternal sleep. Every night, Selene visited him where he slept, and by him had fifty daughters who are equated by some scholars with the fifty months of the Olympiad.(50 states in the CORPSE of US)Also known as Mene, she is traditionally the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and sister of the sun god Helios and the dawn goddess Eos. She drives her moon chariot across the heavens. Several lovers are attributed to her in various myths, including Zeus, Pan, and the mortal Endymion.
In post-classical times, Selene was often identified with Artemis, much as her brother, Helios, was identified with Apollo. Selene and Artemis were also associated with Hecate and all three were regarded as moon and lunar goddesses, but only Selene was regarded as the personification of the Moon itself.Her Roman equivalent is Luna.

Saint Judoc, otherwise known as Jodoc, Joyce or Josse (Latin: Iudocus; traditionally c. 600 – 668 AD) was a seventh-century Breton noble. Though he was never officially canonized, Saint Judoc is considered to be a saint. Judoc was a son of Juthael (Jupiter-Ptah-El?), King of Brittany. He renounced his wealth and position to become a priest and lived alone for the rest of his lifetime in the coastal forest near the mouth of the River Canche.
The name Judoc, meaning "Lord", is the 14th century Breton version of Iudocus in Latin, Josse in French, Jost, Joost, or Joos in Dutch, and Joyce in English. The name Judoc was rarely used after the 14th century except in the Netherlands.
According to tradition, Judoc was the son of Juthael, King of Brittany, and the brother of Saint Judicael (i.e judicial, judication, judiciary) and Saint Winnoc. In approximately 636, Judoc renounced his inheritance and wealth and embarked on a pilgrimage to Rome. He was ordained as a priest during this voyage and subsequently became a hermit in Ponthieu, Saint-Josse-sur-Mer, where he resided until his death.
According to ancient folklore, his body was said to be incorruptible, leaving his followers with the task of continually cutting his hair after death.(SEE: Endymion, "the shepherd")
Cultural depictions usually portray Judoc holding the pilgrim's staff. He is also shown with a crown at his feet, referring to his renunciation of his lands and fortune.

The hexagram is thought to have originated in Buddhism and was also used by Hindus. It was used by Muslims as a mystic symbol in the medieval period, known as the Seal of Solomon, depicted as either a hexagram or pentagram.
It symbolizes the nara-narayana, or perfect meditative state of balance achieved between Man and God, and if maintained, results in "moksha," or "nirvana" (release from the bounds of the earthly world and its material trappings).
Some researchers have theorized that the hexagram represents the astrological chart at the time of David's birth or anointment as king. The hexagram is also known as the "King's Star" in astrological circles.
The downward triangle symbolizes Shakti, the sacred embodiment of femininity, and the upward triangle symbolizes Shiva, or Agni Tattva, representing the focused aspects of masculinity.
The Magen David is a generally recognized symbol of Judaism and Jewish identity and is also known colloquially as the Jewish Star or "Star of David."
The Star of David is used in the seal and the emblem of the Theosophical Society. Although it is more pronounced, it is used along with other religious symbols. These include the Swastika, the Ankh, the Aum, and the Ouroboros. The star of David is also known as the Seal of Solomon that was its original name until around 50 years ago.
The six-pointed star is commonly used both as a talisman and for conjuring spirits and spiritual forces in diverse forms of occult magic. In the book The History and Practice of Magic, Vol. 2, the six-pointed star is called the Talisman of Saturn and it is also referred to as the Seal of Solomon
The hexagram, like the pentagram, was and is used in practices of the occult and ceremonial magic and is attributed to the 7 (Adonai) "old" planets outlined in astrology.
In Rosicrucian and Hermetic Magic, the seven Traditional Planets correspond with the angles and the center of the Hexagram as follows, in the same patterns as they appear on the Sephiroth and on the Tree of Life. Saturn, although formally attributed to the Sephira of Binah, within this frame work nonetheless occupies the position of Daath.
(Get it? Binah or Bynna - Mama Saturn of The Dark Moon Kingdom)
In alchemy, the two triangles represent the reconciliation of the opposites of fire and water.The hexagram is used as a sign for quintessence, the fifth element.

According to Eden Gray, the Hermit's lantern is the Lamp of Truth, used to guide the unknowing, his patriarch's staff helps him navigate narrow paths as he seeks enlightenment and his cloak is a form of discretion.(Keeper of the lamp, who guides as a shepherd with the cloak of Brigitte? Ring any bells?)
The card is usually thought to connote aspects of healing/recovery, particularly the kind that happens over time. In that regard, The Hermit is sometimes considered the mature and wiser version of The Magician.
As such, both cards represent the astrological sign of Virgo. The Hermit is the "withdrawal from events and relationship to introspect and gather strength". Seeking the inner voice or calling upon vision from within. A need of understanding and advice, or a wise person who will offer knowing guidance. A card of personal experience and thoughtful temperance.
The Suaire de Saint-Josse-sur-Mer, the "Shroud of Saint Josse" that is now conserved in the Musée du Louvre, is a rich silk samite saddle cloth that was woven in northeastern Iran, some time before 961 C.E., when Abu Mansur Bakhtegin, the "camel-prince" for whom it was woven, was beheaded.("For surely, a camel will pierce the eye of a needle before...")
It was brought back from the First Crusade by Étienne de Blois and dedicated as a votive gift at the Abbey of Saint-Josse, near Boulogne-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais. It has been described as "the major landmark in early Islamic silk weaving.This fragmentary textile with elephants woven into the design is the only known surviving example of a silk textile produced in Eastern Iran, in the royal workshops of the Samanid dynasty, probably at either Merv or Nishapur. The primary decoration on the surviving fragments consists of a pair of confronted elephants within a rectangular border filled with geometric designs.
Below the feet of each elephant is another creature, perhaps a dragon. Bands of marching bactrian camels surround the central field, with a cock set in each corner, and below the confronted elephants is an inscription.(Elephant : Levant : Leviathan
Massive and ground shaking
Camel : Chem: Kham-El

The inscription reads, "glory and prosperity to the commander, Abu Mansur Bakhtikin, may God prolong his existence". The "prince" referred to in the woven Kufic inscription, though decipherable in more than one way, most likely refers to the general and emir Bukhtegin, active in the service of 'Abd al-Malik I, the Samanid sultan of Khorasan, 954-61 C.E.
The Samanid Empire, was a Persianate Sunni Muslim empire, of Iranian dehqan origin. The empire was centred in Khorasan and Transoxiana; at its greatest extent encompassing Persia and Central Asia, from 819 to 999.

x-X-x_____THE PSALM OF THE PALM
"The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand."
_____
The details of Cyrus The Great's death vary by account. The account of Herodotus from his Histories provides the second-longest detail, in which Cyrus met his fate in a fierce battle with the Massagetae, a Scythian tribal confederation from the southern deserts of Khwarezm and Kyzyl Kum in the southernmost portion of the Eurasian Steppe regions of modern-day Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, following the advice of Croesus to attack them in their own territory. The Massagetae were related to the Scythians in their dress and mode of living; they fought on horseback and on foot. In order to acquire her realm, Cyrus first sent an offer of marriage to their ruler, the empress Tomyris, a proposal she rejected._____TOMYRIS : TAMAR(A)Tamar is a female name of Hebrew origin, meaning "date" (the fruit), "date palm" or just "palm tree". There are three characters in the Bible with this name. The pronunciation of Tamar depends on each so-named person's language, culture, and idiolectic preference.Variants include Tamary and "Tamara".Dates are mentioned more than 50 times in the Bible and 20 times in the Quran. Date palms holds great significance in Abrahamic religions. The tree was heavily cultivated as a food source in ancient Israel where Judaism and subsequently Christianity developed. Date palm leaves are used for Palm Sunday in the Christian religion.Many Jewish scholars believe that the "honey" reference in Exodus chapter 3 to "a land flowing with milk and honey" is actually a reference to date "honey", and not honey from bees. In the Torah, palm trees are referenced as symbols of prosperity and triumph.
(Tamar, the victorious)
Psalm 92:12 states that "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree." Palm branches occurred as iconography in sculpture ornamenting the Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, on Jewish coins, and in the sculpture of synagogues. In the Quran, Allah instructs Maryām (the Virgin Mary) to eat dates during labour pains when she gives birth to Isa (Jesus).
In Mandaeism, the date palm, which can refer to both the tree and its fruit symbolizes the cosmic tree and is often associated with the cosmic wellspring (Mandaic: aina). The date palm, associated with masculinity, and wellspring, associated with femininity, are often mentioned together as heavenly symbols in Mandaean texts.(Aina : Ianna)Cyrus then commenced his attempt to take Massagetae territory by force (c. 529), beginning by building bridges and towered war boats along his side of the river Oxus, or Amu Darya, which separated them.
Sending him a warning to cease his encroachment (a warning which she stated she expected he would disregard anyway), Tomyris challenged him to meet her forces in honorable warfare, inviting him to a location in her country a day's march from the river, where their two armies would formally engage each other.
He accepted her offer, but, learning that the Massagetae were unfamiliar with wine and its intoxicating effects, he set up and then left camp with plenty of it behind, taking his best soldiers with him and leaving the least capable ones.
(Does this story sound a little more familiar to you now that you understand who the players are? Who was the god of wine?)
The general of Tomyris's army, Spargapises, who was also her son, and a third of the Massagetian troops, killed the group Cyrus had left there and, finding the camp well stocked with food and the wine, unwittingly drank themselves into inebriation, diminishing their capability to defend themselves when they were then overtaken by a surprise attack.(Is it clearing up for you folks in the back? Sound familiar; like Cowboys and Indians??
Does it remind you of Pocahontas and John Rolfe??
Maybe it'll make a little more sense in the context of Leonidas and Xerxes?
Leo had a wife named 'Gorgo, allegedly?
Gorgo: Gorgon?
Ring a bell?)
They were successfully defeated, and, although he was taken prisoner, Spargapises committed suicide once he regained sobriety. Upon learning of what had transpired, Tomyris denounced Cyrus's tactics as underhanded and swore vengeance, leading a second wave of troops into battle herself.
Cyrus the Great was ultimately killed, and his forces suffered massive casualties in what Herodotus referred to as the fiercest battle of his career and the ancient world. When it was over, Tomyris ordered the body of Cyrus brought to her, then decapitated him and dipped his head in a vessel of blood in a symbolic gesture of revenge for his bloodlust and the death of her son. However, some scholars question this version, mostly because even Herodotus admits this event was one of many versions of Cyrus's death that he heard from a supposedly reliable source who told him no one was there to see the aftermath.
_____REVENGE OF THE DAARTH MOONManu, The Conqueror
_____
Kali's most common four armed iconographic image shows each hand carrying variously a Khadga (crescent-shaped sword or a giant sickle), a trishul (trident), a severed head, and a bowl or skull-cup (kapāla) collecting the blood of the severed head. This is the form of Bhima Kali.Two of these hands (usually the left) are holding a sword and a severed head. The sword signifies divine knowledge and the human head signifies human ego which must be slain by divine knowledge in order to attain moksha.The other two hands (usually the right) are in the abhaya (fearlessness) and varada (blessing) mudras, which means her initiated devotees (or anyone worshipping her with a true heart) will be saved as she will guide them here and in the hereafter.
This is the form of Dakshina Kali.
She is often depicted naked (Venus:BathSheba) symbolizes her being beyond the covering of Maya since she is pure (nirguna) being-consciousness-bliss and far above Prakriti. She is shown as very dark as she is Brahman in its supreme unmanifest state. She has no permanent qualities—she will continue to exist even when the universe ends. It is therefore believed that the concepts of color, light, good, and bad do not apply to her.
Dakshinakali is the most popular form of Kali in Bengal. She is the benevolent mother, who protects her devotees and children from mishaps and misfortunes.
Dakshinakali is typically shown with her right foot on Shiva's chest—while depictions showing Kali with her left foot on Shiva's chest depict the even more fearsome Vamakali.
The pose shows the conclusion of an episode in which Kali was rampaging out of control after destroying many demons. Lord Vishnu, Kali's brother, confronted Kali in an attempt to cool her down. She was unable to see beyond the limitless power of her rage and Lord Vishnu had to move out of her way.Seeing this the devas became more fearful, afraid that in her rampage, Kali would not stop until she destroyed the entire universe. Shiva saw only one solution to prevent Kali's endless destruction. Lord Shiva lay down on the battlefield so that Goddess Mahakali would have to step on him. When she saw her consort under her foot, Kali realized that she had gone too far.
Filled with grief for the damage she had done, her blood-red tongue hung from her mouth, calming her down. In some interpretations of the story, Shiva was attempting to receive Kali's grace by receiving her foot on his chest.

"The Rampage of Hathor"
Hathor was a solar deity, a feminine counterpart to sun gods such as Horus and Ra, and was a member of the divine entourage that accompanied Ra as he sailed through the sky in his barque. She was commonly called the "Golden One", referring to the radiance of the sun, and texts from her temple at Dendera say "her rays illuminate the whole earth."She was one of many goddesses to take the role of the Eye of Ra, a feminine personification of the disk of the sun and an extension of Ra's own power. Ra was sometimes portrayed inside the disk, which Troy interprets as meaning that the eye goddess was thought of as a womb, from which the sun god was born. Hathor's seemingly contradictory roles as mother, wife, and daughter of Ra reflected the daily cycle of the sun._____ASPECTS OF THE TRIFOLD DAUGHTER VIRGO_____
Shala (Šala) was a Mesopotamian goddess of weather and grain and the wife of the weather god Adad. In the Babylonian MUL.APIN (c. 10th century BC), part of this constellation was known as "The Furrow", representing the goddess Shala and her ear of grain. One star in this constellation, Spica, retains this tradition as it is Latin for "ear of grain", one of the major products of the Mesopotamian furrow. For this reason the constellation became associated with fertility.(Like I always say, what's good for the geese

Oh, Sheila)
[NOTE: Hadad ( Haddu, Adad , Adād, or Iškur was the storm and rain god in the Canaanite and ancient Mesopotamian religions. He was attested in Ebla as "Hadda" in c. 2500 BCE.( Ebla:Elba. I'm not arguing about it. When you reinvent yourself long enough you become....lazy with the naming conventions)Hadad was Pidar, Rapiu, Baal-Zephon, or often simply Baʿal (Lord), but this title was also used for other gods. The bull was the symbolic animal of Hadad. He appeared bearded, often holding a club and thunderbolt while wearing a bull-horned headdress.(Zephon: Zephyrus : Zephyr: Seraph: Serapis etc.)Hadad was equated with the Greek god Zeus, the Roman god Jupiter (and in the cult-center near Doliche in Asia Minor he was addressed as Jupiter Dolichenus), as well as the Babylonian mythology Bel.END NOTE]
Both in a number of relatively late Mesopotamian texts and in modern scholarship Shala is sometimes conflated or confused with Shalash, a Syrian goddess regarded as the spouse of Dagan.It is accepted that Shala's name has no plausible Akkadian etymology, and it is possible that it was derived from the Hurrian word šāla, daughter.In the god list An = Anum, the alternate names of Shala include Medimsha (Sumerian: "possessing lovely limbs"), Shuzabarku (Sumerian: "she with a shining bronze hand".
A balag song from the library of Ashurbanipal lists Minunesi and Shubanuna among her names. The same composition also addresses her by the epithet dumu-é-a, translated as "child of the house" or "daughter of the house," which was also applied to the love goddess Nanaya and to Gunura, daughter of the medicine goddess Ninisina.(SEE: Ninsianna)
'In a late explanatory text, Shuzabarku is defined as "Shala of wisdom," Medimsha as "Shala of totality," and Shala under her primary name as "Shala of people and dew."
Early Greek astronomy associated the Babylonian constellation, Virgo, with their goddess of wheat and agriculture, Demeter.The Romans associated it with their goddess Ceres. According to interpretatio romana, by which Roman deities were identified with their Greek counterparts, she was an equivalent to Demeter, one of the Twelve Olympians of Greek religion and mythology; this made Ceres one of Rome's twelve Di Consentes, daughter of Saturn and Ops, sister of Jupiter, mother of Proserpina by Jupiter and sister of Juno, Vesta, Neptune and Dis. Ceres' known mythology is indistinguishable from Demeter's.Alternatively, Virgo was sometimes identified as the virgin goddess Iustitia or Astraea, holding the scales of justice in her hand (that now are separated as the constellation Libra).Another figure who is associated with the constellation Virgo was the spring goddess Persephone, the daughter of Zeus and Demeter who had married Hades and resided in the Underworld during summer.
During the Middle Ages, Virgo sometimes was associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary. In Greek mythology, the constellation is also associated with the daughter of Zeus, Dike the goddess of justice, who is represented holding the scales of justice.
_____Hathor cont.
_____
Hathor was often depicted as a cow bearing the sun disk between her horns, especially when shown nursing the king. She could also appear as a woman with the head of a cow. Her most common form, however, was a woman wearing a headdress of the horns and sun disk, often with a red or turquoise sheath dress, or a dress combining both colors.
Sometimes the horns stood atop a low modius or the vulture headdress that Egyptian queens often wore in the New Kingdom. Because Isis adopted the same headdress during the New Kingdom, the two goddesses can be distinguished only if labeled in writing. When in the role of Imentet, Hathor wore the emblem of the west upon her head instead of the horned headdress.
The Seven Hathors were sometimes portrayed as a set of seven cows, accompanied by a minor sky and afterlife deity called the Bull of the West.At sunset Ra entered the body of Hathor, impregnating her and fathering the deities born from her womb at sunrise: himself and the eye goddess, who would later give birth to him. Ra gave rise to his daughter, the eye goddess, who in turn gave rise to him, her son, in a cycle of constant regeneration.
(...sound familiar? The trick is to ensure that he passes through the fires of refinery to burn off impurities in the process. )
The Eye of Ra protected the sun god from his enemies and was often represented as a uraeus, or rearing cobra, or as a lioness. A form of the Eye of Ra known as "Hathor of the Four Faces", represented by a set of four cobras, was said to face in each of the cardinal directions to watch for threats to the sun god.
(Brigid, the Cloak and Dagger)
A group of myths, known from the New Kingdom (c. 1550–1070 BC) onward, describe what happens when the Eye goddess rampages uncontrolled(SEE: Dakshinakali or Vamakali).
In the funerary text known as the Book of the Heavenly Cow, Ra sends Hathor as the Eye of Ra to punish humans for plotting rebellion against his rule. She becomes the lioness goddess Sekhmet and massacres the rebellious humans, but Ra decides to prevent her from killing all humanity. He orders that beer be dyed red and poured out over the land.The Eye goddess drinks the beer, mistaking it for blood, and in her inebriated state reverts to being the benign and beautiful Hathor.(Marceline also liked drinking the color red)
In other versions of this story, Sekhmet grew angered at the deception and left Egypt, diminishing the power of the sun. This threatened the power and security of the world—thus, she was persuaded by the god Thoth to return and restore the sun to its full glory.
_____LADY OF THE GRAINLight of the World
_____
One of the variant legends in the Shoki relates that Amaterasu ordered her brother Tsukuyomi to go down to the terrestrial world (Ashihara-no-Nakatsukuni, the "Central Land of Reed-Plains") and visit the goddess Ukemochi.When Ukemochi vomited foodstuffs out of her mouth and presented them to Tsukuyomi at a banquet, a disgusted and offended Tsukuyomi slew her and went back to Takamagahara. This act upset Amaterasu, causing her to split away from Tsukuyomi, thus separating night from day.
Amaterasu then sent another god, Ame-no-Kumahito, who found various food-crops and animals emerging from Ukemochi's corpse.Amaterasu had the grains collected and sown for humanity's use and, putting the silkworms in her mouth, reeled thread from them. From this began agriculture and sericulture.When Susanoo, the youngest of the three divine siblings, was expelled by his father Izanagi for his troublesome nature and incessant wailing on account of missing his deceased mother Izanami, he first went up to Takamagahara to say farewell to Amaterasu. A suspicious Amaterasu went out to meet him dressed in male clothing and clad in armor, at which Susanoo proposed a trial by pledge (ukehi) to prove his sincerity.
(THINK: How many of these parables interchange masculinity with femininity? It's not sexual orientation so much as it is "Bath" Sheba covering her the femininity of her nakedness)In the ritual, the two gods each chewed and spat out an object carried by the other (in some variants, an item they each possessed). Five (or six) gods and three goddesses were born as a result; Amaterasu adopted the males as her sons and gave the females – later known as the three Munakata goddesses – to Susanoo.Susanoo, declaring that he had won the trial as he had produced deities of the required gender,[b] then "raged with victory" and proceeded to wreak havoc by destroying his sister's rice fields and defecating in her palace. While Amaterasu tolerated Susanoo's behavior at first, his "misdeeds did not cease, but became even more flagrant" until one day, he bore a hole in the rooftop of Amaterasu's weaving hall and hurled the "heavenly piebald horse" , which he had flayed alive, into it.
(REMEMBER: The Chariot, the horse, or the Mare)
One of Amaterasu's weaving maidens was alarmed and struck her genitals against a weaving shuttle, killing her. In response, a furious Amaterasu shut herself inside the , "Heavenly Rock-Cave Door", also known as Ama-no-Iwato, plunging heaven and earth into total darkness.(See: Hera and Zeus)Inside the cave, Amaterasu is surprised that the gods should show such mirth in her absence. Ame-no-Uzume answered that they were celebrating because another god greater than her had appeared.Curious, Amaterasu slid the boulder blocking the cave's entrance and peeked out, at which Ame-no-Koyane and Futodama brought out the mirror (the Yata-no-Kagami) and held it before her. As Amaterasu, struck by her own reflection (apparently thinking it to be the other deity Ame-no-Uzume spoke of), approached the mirror, Ame-no-Tajikarao took her hand and pulled her out of the cave, which was then immediately sealed with a straw rope, preventing her from going back inside.
Thus was light restored to the world.As punishment for his unruly conduct, Susanoo was then driven out of Takamagahara by the other gods. Going down to earth, he arrived at the land of Izumo, where he killed the monstrous serpent Yamata no Orochi (Yam: Ym) to rescue the goddess Kushinadahime, whom he eventually married.
From the serpent's carcass Susanoo found the sword, "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven", also known as "Grass-Cutting Sword", which he presented to Amaterasu as a reconciliatory gift.(SEE: Storm God Kills Serpent )
_____Hathor cont.
_____
The Eye goddess, sometimes in the form of Hathor, rebels against Ra's control and rampages freely in a foreign land: Libya west of Egypt or Nubia to the south. Weakened by the loss of his Eye, Ra sends another god, such as Thoth, to bring her back to him.Once pacified, the goddess returns to become the consort of the sun god or of the god who brings her back. The two aspects of the Eye goddess—violent and dangerous versus beautiful and joyful—reflected the Egyptian belief that women "encompassed both extreme passions of fury and love"
"I prayed to her [Hathor] and she heard my prayer. She destined my mistress [loved one] for me.****And she came of her own free will to see me.***

_____IN THE BEGINNING...we were blessed
_____
Beatrice is a female given name. The English variant is derived from the French Béatrice, which came from the Latin Beatrix, which means "blessed one".
The popularity of Beatrice spread because of Dante Alighieri's poetry about the Florentine woman Beatrice Portinari. Dante presents Beatrice as being worthy of speaking for God, making her a holy individual.
Beatrice "Bice" di Folco Portinari (1265 – 8 or 19 June 1290) was an Italian woman who has been commonly identified as the principal inspiration for Dante Alighieri's Vita Nuova.She is also identified with the Beatrice who acts as his guide in the last book of his narrative poem the Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia), Paradiso, and during the conclusion of the preceding Purgatorio. In the Comedy, Beatrice symbolises divine grace and theology.According to Dante, he first met Beatrice when his father, Alighiero di Bellincione, took him to the Portinari house for a May Day party. They were both nine years old at the time, though Beatrice was a few months younger. Dante was instantly taken with her and remained so throughout his life in Florence—even though she married another man, the banker Simone de' Bardi, in 1287.(Simon the Ice King : David: Bardiya the Bard) For his part, Dante married Gemma Donati, a cousin of one of the most politically prominent families in Florence, in 1285. Despite this entanglement, he seems to have retained some feeling for Beatrice, even after her death in 1290.As Dante tells us in the Vita Nuova, he withdrew into intense study after Beatrice's death and began composing poems dedicated to her memory. The collection of these poems, along with others he had previously written in praise of Beatrice, became what we now know as the Vita Nuova.

"THE POLE OF MAY"
May Day is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer, usually celebrated on 1 May, around halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice.Festivities may also be held the night before, known as May Eve. Traditions often include gathering wildflowers and green branches, weaving floral garlands, crowning a May Queen (sometimes with a male companion), and setting up a Maypole, May Tree or May Bush, around which people dance. Bonfires are also part of the festival in some regions.
Regional varieties and related traditions include Walpurgis Night in central and northern Europe, the Gaelic festival Beltane, the Welsh festival Calan Mai, and May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It has also been associated with the ancient Roman festival Floralia.In the British Isles and parts of the Commonwealth, the May Queen or Queen of May is a personification of the May Day holiday, and of springtime and also summer.The May Queen is a girl who rides or walks at the front of a parade for May Day celebrations. She wears a white gown to symbolise purity and usually a tiara or crown. Her duty is to begin the May Day celebrations. She is generally crowned by flowers and makes a speech before the dancing begins. Certain age-groups dance around a Maypole celebrating youth and springtime
London diarist Henry Machyn wrote: On the 30 May was a jolly May-game in Fenchurch Street (London) with drums and guns and pikes, The Nine Worthies did ride; and they all had speeches, and the morris dance and sultan and an elephant with a castle and the sultan and young moors with shields and arrows, and the lord and lady of the May(Darien Shields, The Black-a-moor with his lady of the moon that he protects with the arrows of Apollo like the Archer Shiro Emiya)The festivals may occur on 1 May or Pentecost (Whitsun), although in some countries it is instead erected at Midsummer (20–26 June). In some cases, the maypole is a permanent feature that is only utilized during the festival, although in other cases it is erected specifically for the purpose before being taken down again.
Their shape allowed for garlands to be hung from them and were first seen, at least in the British Isles, between AD 1350 and 1400 within the context of medieval Christian European culture. In 1588, at Holy Trinity Church in Exeter, villagers gathered around the 'summer rod' (rods of god) for feasting and drinking. Chaucer mentions that a particularly large maypole stood at St Andrew Undershaft, which was collectively erected by church parishioners annually due to its large shape.
Some scholars classify maypoles as symbols of the world axis (axis mundi). The fact that they were found primarily in areas of Germanic Europe, where, prior to Christianisation, Germanic paganism was followed in various forms, has led to speculation by some that the maypoles were in some way a relic of a Germanic pagan tradition.One theory holds that they were a remnant of the Germanic reverence for sacred trees, as there is evidence for various sacred trees and wooden pillars that were venerated by the pagans across much of Germanic Europe, including Thor's Oak (Absalom's killer) and the Irminsul. Ronald Hutton, however, states that "there is absolutely no evidence that the maypole was regarded as a reflection of it." It is also known that, in Norse paganism, cosmological views held that the universe was a world tree, known as Yggdrasil
An Asherah pole is a sacred tree or pole that stood near Canaanite religious locations to honor the Ugaritic mother-goddess Asherah, consort of El. The relation of the literary references to an asherah and archaeological finds of Judaean pillar-figurines has engendered a literature of debate.(Once the priesthood removed the Sybils and took their power, Asherah was demonized as the fallen one)
The asherim were also cult objects related to the worship of the fertility goddess Asherah, the consort of either Ba'al or, as inscriptions from Kuntillet ‘Ajrud and Khirbet el-Qom attest, Yahweh, and thus objects of contention among competing cults.The insertion of "pole" begs the question by setting up unwarranted expectations for such a wooden object: "we are never told exactly what it was", scholars observed.
Though there was certainly a movement against goddess-worship at the Jerusalem Temple in the time of King Josiah, it did not long survive his reign, as the following four kings "did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh" (2 Kings 23:32, 37; 24:9, 19).Further exhortations came from Jeremiah. The traditional interpretation of the Biblical text is that the Israelites imported pagan elements such as the Asherah poles from the surrounding Canaanites. In light of archeological finds, however, modern scholars now theorize that the Israelite folk religion was Canaanite in its inception and always polytheistic, and it was the prophets and priests who denounced the Asherah poles who were the innovators; such theories inspire ongoing debate(My theory? Its the staff of the Hermit that used to be the sickle of the reaper)The Floralia was a festival in ancient Roman religious practice in honor of the goddess Flora, held on 27 April during the Republican era, or 28 April in the Julian calendar. The festival included Ludi Florae, the "Games of Flora", which lasted for six days under the empire
Flora is one of the most ancient goddesses of Roman religion and was one of fifteen deities to have her own state-supported high priest, the flamen Florialis. A goddess of flowers, vegetation, and fertility, she received sacrifices (piacula) in the sacred grove of the Arval Brothers, an archaic priesthood.
While she was otherwise a relatively minor figure in Roman mythology, being one among several fertility goddesses, her association with the spring gave her particular importance at the coming of springtime, as did her role as goddess of youth. She was one of the fifteen deities who had their own flamen, the Floralis, one of the flamines minores.Her Greek counterpart is Chloris.In Greek mythology, Chloris (chlōrós, meaning "greenish-yellow", "pale green", "pale", "pallid", or "fresh") was a nymph goddess who was associated with spring, flowers and new growth, believed to have dwelt in the Elysian Fields.(The pale rider)Chloris was abducted by Zephyrus, the god of the west wind (which, as Ovid himself points out, was a parallel to the story of his brother Boreas and Orithyia), who transformed her into a deity known as Flora after they were married. Together, they have a son, named Karpos. She was also thought to have been responsible for the transformations of Adonis, Attis, Crocus, Hyacinthus and Narcissus into flowers._____Beatrice cont.
At the beginning of the Inferno, when Virgil appears to guide Dante through the afterlife, he explains that he was sent by Beatrice. She herself was moved to intercede by the Virgin Mary and Saint Lucia. She is referenced frequently throughout his journey through hell and purgatory as a source of inspiration and comfort.

LUCY, AND THE BLEEDING WOMAN
Lucia of Syracuse (283–304), also called Saint Lucia (Latin: Sancta Lucia) better known as Saint Lucy, was a Roman Christian martyr who died during the Diocletianic Persecution. She is venerated as a saint in the Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox churches.She is one of eight women (including the Virgin Mary) explicitly commemorated by Catholics in the Canon of the Mass. Her traditional feast day, known in Europe as Saint Lucy's Day, is observed by Western Christians on 13 December. Lucia of Syracuse was honored in the Middle Ages and remained a well-known saint in early modern England. She is one of the best known virgin martyrs, along with Agatha of Sicily, Agnes of Rome, Cecilia of Rome and Catherine of Alexandria.
According to the traditional story, Lucy was born to rich and noble parents in the year 283 AD. Her father was of Roman origin, but died when she was five years old, leaving Lucy and her mother without a protective guardian. Her mother's name Eutychia seems to indicate that she came from a Greek background.Like many of the early martyrs, Lucy had consecrated her virginity to God, and she hoped to distribute her dowry to the poor. However, Eutychia, not knowing of Lucy's promise, and suffering from a bleeding disorder, feared for Lucy's future. She arranged Lucy's marriage to a young man of a wealthy pagan family.
Saint Agatha had been martyred 52 years before during the Decian persecution. Her shrine at Catania, less than 50 miles from Syracuse, attracted a number of pilgrims; many miracles were reported to have happened through her intercession.Eutychia was persuaded to make a pilgrimage to Catania, in hopes of a cure. While there, St. Agatha came to Lucy in a dream and told her that because of her faith, her mother would be cured and that Lucy would be the glory of Syracuse, as she was of Catania.[Matthew 9: 20-22Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.Not in death - just in sleep, remember?]
With her mother cured, Lucy took the opportunity to persuade her mother to allow her to distribute a great part of her riches among the poor. Eutychia suggested that the sums would make a good bequest, but Lucy countered, "...whatever you give away at death for the Lord's sake you give because you cannot take it with you. Give now to the true Savior, while you are healthy, whatever you intended to give away at your death."News that the patrimony and jewels were being distributed came to Lucy's betrothed, who denounced her to Paschasius, the Governor of Syracuse. Paschasius ordered her to burn a sacrifice to the emperor's image. When she refused, Paschasius sentenced her to be defiled in a brothel.
The Christian tradition states that when the guards came to take her away, they could not move her even when they hitched her to a team of oxen. Bundles of wood were then heaped about her and set on fire, but would not burn. Finally, she met her death by the sword thrust into her throat.(A woman, with the strength of a bull, sentenced to violation or death by the sword?)Absent in the early narratives and traditions, at least until the fifteenth century, is the story of Lucia tortured by eye-gouging. According to later accounts, before she died she foretold the punishment of Paschasius and the speedy end of the persecution, adding that Diocletian would reign no more, and Maximian would meet his end. This so angered Paschasius that he ordered the guards to remove her eyes. Another version has Lucy taking her own eyes out in order to discourage a persistent suitor who admired them. When her body was prepared for burial in the family mausoleum it was discovered that her eyes had been miraculously restored. This is one of the reasons that Lucy is the patron saint of those with eye illnesses.[REMEMBER : After Brigid promised God a life of chastity, her brothers were annoyed at the loss of a bride price. When she was outside carrying a load past a group of poor people, some began to laugh at her.A man named Bacene said to her, "The beautiful eye which is in your head will be betrothed to a man though you like it or not". In response, Brigid thrust her finger in her eye and said, "Here is that beautiful eye for you. I deem it unlikely that anyone will ask you for a blind girl".Her brothers tried to save her and wash away the blood from her wound, but there was no water to be found. Brigid said to them, "Put my staff about this sod in front of you", and after they did, a stream came forth from the ground. Then she said to Bacene, "Soon your two eyes will burst in your head", and it happened as she said. This story was probably inspired by the lore of Saint Lucy._____
Beatrice cont.
Beatrice personally appears near the end of the Purgatorio to take over as guide from the Latin poet Virgil because, as a pagan, Virgil cannot enter Paradise.[Paradise is depicted as a series of concentric spheres surrounding the Earth, consisting of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Fixed Stars, the Primum Mobile and finally, the Empyrean. It was written in the early 14th century. Allegorically, the poem represents the soul's ascent to God.The Empyrean Heaven, Empyreal or simply the Empyrean, was the place in the highest heaven, which was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle's natural philosophy).]
Moreover Beatrice, being the incarnation of beatific love (as her name implies), is uniquely suited to lead the pilgrim into the realm of divine bliss. Naturally, then, it's Beatrice who must lead the pilgrim into heaven. Where Virgil is understood as human reason and philosophy, Beatrice represents religious knowledge and passion: theology, faith, contemplation, and grace. Philosophy is suited to guide the pilgrim through the less holy realms of sin and repentance, but only divine faith can completely lead the soul to God.Despite representing divine love, Beatrice's appearance to Dante in the Garden of Eden in Purgatorio XXX is not a joyous reunion. She berates him for weeping when Virgil disappears, and then for abandoning her memory after her death and indulging in sin to such a degree that she had to intercede on his behalf to save him.(Picture Oshun faced to face with Bilquis in America Gods as she weeps in her imprisonment. It's a cage she allowed herself to be trapped in when she forgot that S.H.E came before all things, including the word)As Beatrice guides Dante through the spheres of Heaven, she grows increasingly beautiful and indescribable, representing Dante's progress towards God. She frequently corrects Dante during his journey, acting as a spiritual guide and source of wisdom.Contrary to her initial harsh treatment, throughout Paradiso Beatrice is encouraging and patient towards Dante, taking joy in his gradual progress. When they reach the Empyrean, she leaves him to take her proper place there. Saint Bernard guides Dante for the final portion of his journey. He points out Beatrice's place in the Empyrean among several glorified women from the Bible.
Dante compares Beatrice's direction of the pageant of the Church in the Garden to an admiral commanding his ship, an unusual masculine simile that has troubled the critical reading of Beatrice as a courtly lady. Her digressions on multiple academic subjects in the Paradiso also diverge from the typical portrayal of the courtly beloved, who exists as an object of praise, rather than a subject of discourse.For example, the first of these discourses is on optics, concerning the markings on the moon, and the scientific method in general. She is frequently viewed as a Christ figure, owing to her death, the "new life" Dante finds through her in La Vita Nuova, and her interceding before God to save Dante's soul in the ComedyThe painting's title in English translates to Blessed Beatrice. La Vita Nuova had been a story that Rossetti had found of interest from childhood and he had begun work translating it into English in 1845 and published it in his work The Early Italian Poets.
Rossetti modeled Beatrice after his deceased wife and frequent model, Elizabeth Siddal, who died in 1862. The painting was created from the numerous drawings that Rossetti had made of Siddal during their time together. The symbolism in the painting of a red dove, a messenger of love, relates back to Rossetti's love for Siddal with the white poppy representing laudanum and the means of her death.Several of Siddal's friends found the painting to bear little resemblance to the drawings of her—the facial features were harder and the neck is out of proportion. Beata Beatrix is one of Rossetti's most recognized works and has caused Siddal's name to be frequently linked with Dante Alighieri's Beatrice.In an 1873 letter to his friend William Morris, Rossetti said he intended the painting "not as a representation of the incident of the death of Beatrice, but as an ideal of the subject, symbolized by a trance or sudden spiritual transfigurationThis first painting is on display in the Tate Britain. It was a gift in memory of Francis, Baron Mount-Temple by his wife, Georgiana in 1889._____

_____
A Latin feminine given name, most likely derived from Viatrix, a feminine form of the Late Latin name Viator which meant "voyager, traveller" and later influenced in spelling by association with the Latin word beatus or "blessed".(Moana, the Great Westerner)Saint Beatrix (died ca. 303), Christian martyr, in older sources named Viatrix ("the traveler").The legend about them is that the brothers Simplicius and Faustinus were cruelly tortured on account of their Christian faith, beaten with clubs, and finally beheaded; their bodies were thrown into the Tiber (according to another version a stone was tied to them and they were drowned). Their sister Beatrix had the bodies drawn out of the water and buried. Beatrix is thought to be a manuscript corruption of the name "Viatrix.Then for seven months she lived with a pious woman named Lucina and together they secretly helped persecuted Christians. Finally she was discovered and arrested. Her accuser was Lucretius (Borgia), a neighboring kinsman, who desired to obtain possession of her lands.(How many times have I told you how your power was taken? Your names, your lands, your man? Sounds like a broken record at this point, right?)
She asserted before the judge that she would never sacrifice to demons, because she was a Christian. As punishment, she was strangled in prison. Her friend Lucina buried her with her brothers in the cemetery ad Ursum Pileatum on the Via Portuensis.(Strangled in prison means her voice was taken. Like Ariel she was beached and unable to speak for herself. To tell her story. )
Fictional characters
Beatrix, mother of the legendary Knight of the SwanThe story of the Knight of the Swan, or Swan Knight, is a medieval tale about a mysterious rescuer who comes in a swan-drawn boat to defend a damsel, his only condition being that he must never be asked his name.
(How powerful a name is. Such that to speak the true name of God would bring an end to all of reality)
In Brabant the name of the Knight of the Swan is Helias. It has been suggested that this connects him to the Greek solar god, Helios, but the name is in fact a common variant of the name of the prophet Elijah, who nevertheless was connected to the Greek solar god by orthodox worship because of his association to Mount Horeb and a fire chariot._____

His name is also Latinized as Helius, and he is often given the epithets Hyperion ("the one above") and Phaethon ("the shining"). Helios is often depicted in art with a radiant crown and driving a horse-drawn chariot through the sky. He was a guardian of oaths and also the god of sight. Though Helios was a relatively minor deity in Classical Greece, his worship grew more prominent in late antiquity thanks to his identification with several major solar divinities of the Roman period, particularly Apollo and Sol.Due to his position as the sun, he was believed to be an all-seeing witness, and thus was often invoked in oaths. He also played a significant part in ancient magic and spells. In art he is usually depicted as a beardless youth in a chiton holding a whip and driving his quadriga, accompanied by various other celestial gods such as Selene, Eos, or the stars.
The Colossus of Rhodes, a gigantic statue of the god, adorned the port of Rhodes until it was destroyed in an earthquake, thereupon it was not built again.Helios most likely is Proto-Indo-European in origin. Burkert wrote that "... Helios, the sun god, and Eos-Aurora, the goddess of the dawn, are of impeccable Indo-European lineage both in etymology and in their status as gods" and might have played a role in PIE poetry.The imagery surrounding a chariot-driving solar deity is likely Indo-European in origin. Greek solar imagery begins with the gods Helios and Eos, who are brother and sister, and who become in the day-and-night- cycle the day (hemera) and the evening (hespera), as she accompanies him in his journey across the skies.At night, he pastures his steeds and travels east in a golden boat. In them evident is the Indo-European grouping of a sun god and his sister, and the equine pair.
It has been suggested that the Phoenicians brought over the cult of their patron god Baal among others (such as Astarte) to Corinth, who was then continued to be worshipped under the native name/god Helios, similarly to how Astarte was worshipped as Aphrodite, and the Phoenician Melqart was adopted as the sea-god Melicertes/Palaemon, who also had a significant cult in the isthmus of Corinth.
Anime Appearance:.Helios is the guardian priest of Prince Endymion and lives in Elysion where he prays alongside the Maenads. He is cursed by the Dead Moon into the form of a Pegasus. He is one of the main characters of the Dream arc in the manga and crystal.EtymologyHelios is the personification of the Sun in Greek mythology. He is sometimes identified as the sun god, however, that role is also associated with Apollo, depending on the sources. Other sources claim that they are one and the same.
Pegasus is a white winged horse in Greek Mythology.Before the start of the Dream Arc, Helios receives a vision from Princess Lady Serenity telling him it was time to awaken the Golden Crystal and describes a maiden protected by moonlight who could help do so. She also warned him of a great trial awaiting him and Elysion.Over a long period of time, the Dead Moon Circus slowly conquered Elysion. Helios was captured by the Dead Moon, turned into the form of a pegasus, and cursed along with the land. Helios is locked in a cage by the Dead Moon and has a great black rose growing in his lungs from the curse. His connection to Endymion makes this curse pass to him as well. The Maenads were protected from the curse by the purifying crystals of Elysion that they slept inside.They and Helios were the only survivors.That night he appeared in Chibiusa's dream and let her ride him in the sky above Azabu-Juban. He showed her the effects of the Dead Moon Circus' invasion of Earth, asked for her help, and gave her a bell, the Crystal Carillon, that she could use to call him if she needed him. He introduced himself as a Pegasus, Helios, and says he needs the Golden Crystal before he fades away and she wakes up._____
Beatrix "the Bride" Kiddo (codename: Black Mamba) is the protagonist of the martial arts films Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004),
The Bride was once a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, an elite group of assassins. She is trained by the martial arts master Pai Mei and becomes the right hand of Bill, her boss and lover, provoking the envy of another Deadly Viper, Elle Driver.When the Bride discovers she is pregnant with Bill's child, she abandons the Deadly Vipers so her baby can have a better life, and becomes engaged. Bill, assuming her fiancé is the father, orders them assassinated at the chapel and shoots her in the head.
(Again with the violations, the wombs, and the headshots)The Bride survives and falls into a coma. Bill aborts an order to have her assassinated in the hospital, considering it dishonorable when she cannot defend herself. The Bride awakens from the coma and is horrified to find that she is no longer pregnant.
She tracks down the Deadly Vipers, including O-Ren Ishii, now the leader of the Tokyo yakuza, and exacts revenge under the assumption that her child died during her coma. In Mexico, the Bride tracks Bill to a hotel and discovers that their daughter B.B. is still alive, now four years old. The Bride kills Bill using the five-point-palm exploding heart technique, taught to her by Pai Mai. Beatrix leaves with B.B. to start a new life.(She got a tip on how to find "Bill" while in Acuña.... again, I am not making ANY of this up myself. All this can be proven. )
Most of The Bride's attributes from Tarantino's Kill Bill come from Tarantino's original development of Shosanna for Inglourious Basterds which he started to work on before Kill Bill. Originally Shosanna was an assassin who had a list of Nazis she would cross off as she killed, whom Tarantino described as a Jewish Joan of Arc.
[ Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc, Jehanne d'Arc c. 1412 – 30 May 1431) is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years' War.(Charles : Charlemagne: Carol: Carolyn
The 7th)
Claiming to be acting under divine guidance, she became a military leader who transcended gender roles and gained recognition as a savior of France.Joan referred to herself in the letters as Jeanne la Pucelle ("Joan the Maiden") or as la Pucelle ("the Maiden"), emphasizing her virginity, and she signed "Jehanne". In the sixteenth century, she became known as the "Maid of Orleans".- Jane is a feminine given name. It is the English form of Jehanne, the Old French feminine form of Iohannes, a Latin form of the Greek name (Iōannēs), which is ultimately derived from the Hebrew name (Yochanan), a short form of the name (Yehochanan), meaning "Yahweh is merciful"The name was first used in large numbers in the mid-16th century for the daughters of aristocrats as an alternative to the more commonplace Joan. ]
Shoshanna : Susannah is a feminine given name. It is an English version of the Hebrew name Shoshana, meaning lily.Other variants of the name include Susanna, Susana, Susan, Suzanne, and Susie.Fictional characters bearing the name Susannah include:
THE DARK TOWER SERIES
Also hailing from New York City, Susannah is a black woman (although as a woman of 1964, she prefers the term "Negro" over the term considered appropriate in Eddie's time, "Black") with two major afflictions: her legs below the knees were severed in a subway accident, and a childhood head injury left her with dual personalities, which Eddie incorrectly labels schizophrenia. She is "The Lady of Shadows", the second companion predicted by Walter to be drawn into Roland's world via the mysterious doors.
[The Colossus of Rhodes statue stood for 54 years until a 226 BC earthquake caused significant damage to large portions of Rhodes, including the harbour and commercial buildings, which were destroyed. The statue snapped at the knees and fell over onto land. Ptolemy III offered to pay for the reconstruction of the statue, but the Oracle of Delphi made the Rhodians fear that they had offended Helios, and they declined to rebuild it.]Initially, her dominant personality is that of Odetta Susannah Holmes, a well-mannered but priggish woman active in the civil rights movement. At times, however, she is taken over by Detta Susannah Walker—murderously psychotic, incredibly crafty, completely unbreakable—whom neither Eddie nor Roland can control.Neither Odetta nor Detta are aware of the existence of the other, and confabulate memories for the periods when they are not the dominant personality. Roland manages to resolve these personalities by forcing Detta to look through the third door while he himself looks out of it, forcing Detta and Odetta to see themselves for what they really are, and almost kill each other upon realising their presence.However, Odetta chooses to embrace Detta, and the personalities are integrated into a single, far more balanced individual, known as Susannah Dean, Eddie's wife, although they were never formally married. Susannah has access to the memories and personalities of both Holmes and Walker, and can call upon their skills and temperaments at will.During the drawing of Jake, she submits to sex with the demon of the doorway, in order to distract it, and afterwards, she becomes pregnant. Susannah shares the experience of her pregnancy with a demon-turned-mortal named Mia, resulting in Susannah housing yet another personality in her mind.Mia takes over Susannah's body (and melds with it, giving her legs for a short while) and runs in it to yet another when of New York, this one circa 1999, to give birth to the demon child.
Susannah is the last member of Roland's ka-tet to leave him (and the only one to survive in a Keystone world), having been given the chance to return to another form of Eddie and Jake in a parallel world.
BOOK OF DANIEL
A fair Hebrew wife named Susanna was falsely accused by lecherous voyeurs. As she bathes privately (having sent her attendants away) in her locked and walled garden, two elders, having previously said goodbye to each other, bump into each other again when they spy on her bathing.The two men realize they both lust for Susanna. When she makes her way back to her house, they accost her, demanding she have sexual intercourse with them. When she refuses, they have her arrested, claiming that the reason she sent her maids away was to be alone as she was having intercourse with a young man under a tree.
She refuses to be blackmailed and is arrested and about to be put to death for adultery when the young Daniel interrupts the proceedings, shouting that the elders should be questioned to prevent the death of an innocent.After being separated, the two men are cross-examined about details of what they saw but disagree about the tree under which Susanna supposedly met her lover. In the Greek text, the names of the trees cited by the elders form puns with the sentences given by Daniel.The first says they were under a mastic tree (hypo schinon), and Daniel says that an angel stands ready to cut (schisei) him in two. The second says they were under an evergreen oak tree (hypo prinon), and Daniel says that an angel stands ready to saw (prisai) him in two.
(Absalom and the oak, shot through the heart)The great difference in size between a mastic and an oak makes the elders' lie plain to all the observers. The false accusers are put to death, and virtue triumphs._____
SIMILAR TO SUSANNA, THE VIOLATED WOMAN
In the beginning Ninlil, portrayed as inexperienced, is warned by her mother, in this composition named Nunbaršegunu, to avoid the advances of Enlil. After encountering him, Ninlil initially resists, but after consulting his advisor Nuska Enlil accomplishes his goal and seduces and impregnates her. For his transgression, he has to be judged by the "fifty great gods" and "the seven gods of destinies.
Bathsheba Baṯ-šeḇaʿ, Bat-Sheva or Batsheva, "daughter of Sheba" or "daughter of the oath") was the wife of Uriah the Hittite and later of David, according to the Hebrew Bible. She was the mother of Solomon, who succeeded David as king, making her the Gebirah (queen mother). She is best known for the Biblical narrative in which she was summoned by King David, who had seen her bathing and lusted after her.
He inquires about her, discovering her identity as the wife of Uriah. Still desiring her, David later has sex with Bathsheba, impregnating her.Along with Eve, Bathsheba was almost the only female whose nude depiction could easily and regularly be justified in Christian art, and she is therefore an important figure in the development of the nude in medieval art.Though sometimes shown clothed at other points in her story, the most common depiction, in both medieval and later art, was Bathsheba at her Bath, the formal name for the subject in art showing Bathsheba bathing, watched by King David.This could be shown with various degrees of nudity, depending on the pose and the placing of clothes or towels.Sometimes Bathsheba's maids or the "messengers" sent by David are shown, and often a distant David watching from his roof. The messengers are sometimes confused with David himself, but most artists follow the Bible in keeping David at a distance in this episode.David's actions displeased God, who sent the prophet Nathan to reprove the king. In relating a parable describing a rich man who took away the lamb of his poor neighbor, he incited the king's righteous anger, and Nathan then analogized the case directly to David's actions regarding Bathsheba. Nathan declared that God would punish the house of David for Uriah's murder and the taking of his wife. In turn, he would let someone close to David seize all David's wives, and having him lie with them in broad daylight for everyone to see. David at once confessed his sins, expressing sincere repentance.Shortly after Bathsheba's first child by David was born, God struck it with a severe illness. David pleaded with God to spare his child, fasting and spending the nights lying in sackcloth on the ground, but after seven days the child died. David accepted this as his punishment, and then went to the house of God to worship him.
David and Bathsheba would later have another son, Solomon. In David's old age, Bathsheba secured Solomon's succession to the throne instead of David's older surviving sons by other wives, based on promises David made to her.Nathan's prophecy came to pass years later when another of David's sons, the much-loved Absalom, led an insurrection that plunged the kingdom into civil war. To manifest his claim as the new king, Absalom had sex in public with ten of his father's concubines, considered to be a direct, tenfold divine retribution for David's taking of another man's woman in secret.
Little is known of Absalom's family life, but the biblical narrative states that he had three sons and one daughter, Tamar, who is described as a beautiful woman. From the language of 2 Samuel 18:18, Absalom states, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance"Aside from his daughter Tamar, Absalom had another daughter or granddaughter named Maacah, who later became the favorite wife of Rehoboam.[ Maacah (or Maakah) is a unisex personal name used in the Bible to refer to a number of people.A wife of David, and daughter of Talmai, King of Geshur (1 Chronicles 3:2), a near neighbor of the Maachathites. David fathered Absalom and Tamar by her.OrDaughter of Absalom, favorite wife of Rehoboam, mother of Abijah of Judah, and grandmother of Asa of Judah. She served as Queen Mother for Asa, until he deposed her for idolatry. (1 Kings 15:1-14, 2 Chronicles 11:20-22, 2 Chronicles 15:16)][Rehoboam (Rəḥaḇʿām, Rovoam,Roboam, transl. "an enlarged people") was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the first monarch of the Kingdom of Judah after the split of the united Kingdom of Israel. He was a son of and the successor to Solomon and a grandson of David.Rehoboam saw his rule limited to only the Kingdom of Judah in the south following a rebellion by the ten northern tribes of Israel in 932/931 BCE, which led to the formation of the independent Kingdom of Israel under the rule of Jeroboam in the north.While still a young man, King Solomon made him superintendent over his tribesmen in the building of the fortress Millo in Jerusalem and of other public works, and he naturally became conversant with the widespread discontent caused by the extravagances which marked the reign of Solomon.Influenced by the words of the prophet Ahijah, he began to form conspiracies with the view of becoming king of the ten northern tribes; but these were discovered, and he fled to Egypt, where he remained under the protection of Pharaoh Shishak until the death of Solomon.After this event, he returned and participated in a delegation sent to ask the new king Rehoboam to reduce taxes. After Rehoboam rejected their petition, ten of the tribes (ten wives) withdrew their allegiance to the house of David and proclaimed Jeroboam their king, forming the northern kingdom of Israel (Samaria). Initially, only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained to form the new kingdom of Judah, loyal to Rehoboam.Jeroboam rebuilt and fortified Shechem as the capital of the northern kingdom, and fearing that pilgrimages to the temple in Jerusalem prescribed by the Law might be an occasion for his people to go back to their old allegiance, he built two state temples with golden calves, one in Bethel and the other in Dan.Although criticised for his cultic activities in 1 Kings, calf worship was not new in Israelite ritual, but a reintroduction of an earlier ritual. Bethel and Dan were already established cultic sites. According to Rabbanic Literature Gehazi possessed a magnet by which he lifted up the idol made by Jeroboam, so that it was seen between heaven and earth; he had "Yhwh" engraved on it, and in consequence the idol (a calf) pronounced the first two words of the Decalogue.Absalom, David's third son, by Maacah, was born in Hebron.[5] At an early age, he moved, along with the transfer of the capital, to Jerusalem, where he spent most of his life. He was a great favorite of his father and of the people. His charming manners, personal beauty, insinuating ways, love of pomp, and royal pretensions captivated the hearts of the people from the beginning. He lived in great style, drove in a magnificent chariot, and had fifty men run before him.]
Absalom also had a sister named Tamar, who was raped by her half-brother Amnon, David's eldest son. After the rape, Absalom waited two years and then avenged Tamar by sending his servants to murder a drunken Amnon at a feast to which Absalom had invited all of King David's sons.He was the heir apparent to the throne of Israel until he was assassinated by his half-brother Absalom to avenge the rape of Absalom's sister Tamar. As the presumptive heir to the throne of Israel, Amnon enjoyed a life of power and privilege.[Tamar (თამარი) – Goddess who enslaved the Morning Star and controlled the weather patterns; was called "eye of the earth" and rode a serpent.]Despite the biblical prohibition on sexual relations between half siblings, Amnon had an overwhelming desire for her. He acted on advice from his cousin, Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, to lure Tamar into his quarters by pretending to be sick and desiring her to cook a special meal for him.(Lux lured the healer into his trap by pretending to be sick so she could nourish him with the healing waters AKA the power of the godess was usurped when she let her guard down to him and his priesthood)While in his quarters, and over her protests, he raped her, then had her expelled from his house. While King David was angry about the incident, he could not bring himself to punish his eldest son, while Absalom, Amnon's half-brother and Tamar's full brother, nursed a bitter grudge against Amnon for the rape of his sister.
Two years later, to avenge Tamar, Absalom invited all of David's sons to a feast at sheep-shearing time, then had his servants kill Amnon after he had become drunk with wine._____
LUX, The Violator
In ancient Greek religion and myth, Dionysus ( Dionysos) is the god of wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre.He was also known as Bacchus (Bacchos) by the Greeks (a name later adopted by the Romans) for a frenzy he is said to induce called baccheia. As Dionysus Eleutherios ("the liberator"), his wine, music, and ecstatic dance free his followers from self-conscious fear and care, and subvert the oppressive restraints of the powerful.His thyrsus, a fennel-stem sceptre, sometimes wound with ivy and dripping with honey, is both a beneficent wand and a weapon used to destroy those who oppose his cult and the freedoms he represents (The Sickle of Asherah).Those who partake of his mysteries are believed to become possessed and empowered by the god himself.The 1st century BC historian Diodorus Siculus says that according to "some writers of myths" there were two gods named Dionysus, an older one, who was the son of Zeus and Persephone, but that the "younger one [born to Zeus and Semele] also inherited the deeds of the older, and so the men of later times, being unaware of the truth and being deceived because of the identity of their names thought there had been but one Dionysus."Zagreus was a god sometimes identified with an Orphic Dionysus, a son of Zeus and Persephone, who was dismembered by the Titans and reborn.(Osiris-Cerberus, the hound)
In the earliest mention of Zagreus, he is paired with Gaia and called the "highest" god, though perhaps only in reference to the gods of the underworld. Aeschylus, however, links Zagreus with Hades, possibly as Hades' son, or as Hades himself.
Zeus, it is said, permitted Hades, who was in love with the beautiful Persephone, to abduct her as her mother Demeter was not likely to allow her daughter to go down to Hades. Persephone was gathering flowers with the Oceanids along with Artemis and Pallas, daughter of Triton, as the Homeric Hymn says, in a field when Hades came to abduct her, bursting through a cleft in the earth.
Demeter, when she found her daughter had disappeared, searched for her all over the earth with Hecate's torches. In most versions, she forbids the earth to produce, or she neglects the earth and, in the depth of her despair, she causes nothing to grow. Helios, the Sun, who sees everything, eventually told Demeter what had happened and at length she discovered where her daughter had been taken. Zeus, pressed by the cries of the hungry people and by the other deities who also heard their anguish, forced Hades to return Persephone.While Hera is Zeus's seventh wife in Hesiod's version, in other accounts she is his first and only wife. In the Theogony, the couple has three children, Ares, Hebe, and Eileithyia. While Hesiod states that Hera produces Hephaestus on her own after Athena is born from Zeus's head,other versions, including Homer, have Hephaestus as a child of Zeus and Hera as well.
After his marriage to Hera, different authors describe Zeus's numerous affairs with various mortal women. In many of these affairs, Zeus transforms himself into an animal, someone else, or some other form.Various authors speak of Zeus raping Callisto, one of the companions of Artemis, doing so in the form of Artemis herself according to Ovid (or, as mentioned by Apollodorus, in the form of Apollo), and Pherecydes relates that Zeus sleeps with Alcmene, the wife of Amphitryon, in the form of her own husband. Several accounts state that Zeus approached the Argive princess Danae in the form of a shower of gold, while according to Ovid he abducts Aegina in the form of a flame.In accounts of Zeus's affairs, Hera is often depicted as a jealous wife, with there being various stories of her persecuting either the women with whom Zeus sleeps, or their children by him. Several authors relate that Zeus sleeps with Io, a priestess of Hera, who is subsequently turned into a cow, and suffers at Hera's hands: according to Apollodorus, Hera sends a gadfly to sting the cow, driving her all the way to Egypt, where she is finally transformed back into human form.According to Pausanias, Hera, angry with her husband, retreats to the island of Euboea, where she was raised, and Zeus, unable to resolve the situation, seeks the advice of Cithaeron, ruler of Plataea, supposedly the most intelligent man on earth.( Cithaeron: Cytheria: Cybele: Sybil = Oracle)Cithaeron instructs him to fashion a wooden statue and dress it as a bride, and then pretend that he is marrying one "Plataea", a daughter of Asopus.(It just came to me....Thor putting on the dress to get his hammer back. Hera, creator of the forger, Vulcan, was the weapon of Zeus)When Hera hears of this, she immediately rushes there, only to discover the ruse upon ripping away the bridal clothing; she is so relieved that the couple are reconciled. According to a version from Plutarch, as recorded by Eusebius in his Praeparatio evangelica, when Hera is angry with her husband, she retreats instead to Cithaeron, and Zeus goes to the earth-born man Alalcomeneus, who suggests he pretend to marry someone else.
With the help of Alalcomeneus, Zeus creates a wooden statue from an oak tree, dresses it as a bride, and names it Daidale. When preparations are being made for the wedding, Hera rushes down from Cithaeron, followed by the women of Plataia, and upon discovering the trick, the couple are reconciled, with the matter ending in joy and laughter among all involvedx-X-x
_____ALPHA : OMEGA"...If Amun-Ra and Amunet were to ever come into union...you might finally see the face of God..."- amen_____
Amun ( also Amoun, Hámmōn, Amon, Ammon, Amen, Amana; MN, Jmn) was a major ancient Egyptian deity who appears as a member of the Hermopolitan Ogdoad. Amun was attested from the Old Kingdom together with his wife Amunet. With the 11th Dynasty (c. 21st century BC), Amun rose to the position of patron deity of Thebes by replacing MontuGreek equivalent : Zeus
After the rebellion of Thebes against the Hyksos and with the rule of Ahmose I (16th century BC), Amun acquired national importance, expressed in his fusion with the Sun god, Ra, as Amun-Ra (alternatively spelled Amon-Ra or Amun-Re).On his own, he was also thought to be the king of the gods.[NOTE: Christians began to use "mammon" as a pejorative, a term that was used to describe gluttony, excessive materialism, greed, and unjust worldly gain ]
Taurus is an earth sign represented by the bull. Like their celestial spirit animal, Taureans enjoy relaxing in serene, bucolic environments, surrounded by soft sounds, soothing aromas, and succulent flavors. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the enchanting planet that governs love, beauty, and money.Taurus’s Venusian influence make this earth sign the most sensual of the zodiac: These cosmic oxen are enchanted by any physical manifestation of comfort and luxury. Pleasure is a necessity for epicurean Taureans and they feel most content when pampered.
Originally Demotic wsjr-ḥp, ("Osiris-Apis"), the name of the deity is derived from the syncretic worship of Osiris and the bull Apis as a single deity under the Egyptian name wsjr-ḥp. This name was later written in Coptic as Userhapi. Greeks sometimes used an uncommon form Sorapis, slightly closer to the Egyptian name(s).The earliest mention of a "Sarapis" occurs in the disputed death scene of Alexander (323 BCE), but it is something of a mixup: The unconnected Babylonian god Ea (Enki) was titled Šar Apsi, meaning "king of the Apsu" or "the watery deep", and Ea as Šar Apsi seems to be the deity intended in the description of Alexander's death.Since this "Sarapis" had a temple at Babylon, and was of such importance that only Sarapis is named as being consulted on behalf of the dying king, Sarapis of Babylon appears to have radically altered perceptions of mythologies in the post-Alexandrian era.His significance to the Hellenic psyche, due to the mention in the story of Alexander's death, may have also contributed to the choice of the similar-sounding Osiris-Apis as the chief Ptolemaic god, even if the Ptolemies understood that they were different deities.

The plot is based on the Izumo cycle of Japanese mythology. The main character, Momiji Fujimiya, is a descendant of the mythical Princess Kushinada (Kushinada-hime). When Japan is menaced by Aragami ( lit. "angry gods") spawned by Yamata no Orochi, Momiji is intended to be sacrificed to appease the Aragami. She instead, however, becomes a member of the Terrestrial Administration Center (TAC), a secret agency charged with fighting them.Momiji Fujimiya thought she was just an ordinary middle school student. One day, she is confronted on her way to school by a cat-eyed man with blue magatama beads embedded in his hands, who then attempts to kill her. Momiji is confused and terrified by this strange man's sudden desire to kill her; he also refers to her as Kushinada, confusing her even further. Momiji is saved by the sudden appearance of two government officials, one of whom shoots the man in the arm and sends him fleeing.Momiji is intrigued as to why she was referred to as "Kushinada". She discovers that "Kushinada" refers to an ancient princess whose blood holds the power to stop the ancient monsters known as Aragami by sending them to an eternal sleep. Momiji dismisses the idea that she could be such a person, despite the fact she lives with her mother and grandmother in a shrine in Izumo. However, she soon changes her mind after vines begin to appear from every crack and opening attempting to capture her as they whisper "Kushinada".Momiji tries to escape, not knowing that the vines are being employed by a powerful Aragami known as Orochi. She is saved by the man with the magatamas embedded into his hands, who introduces himself as Mamoru Kusanagi. He confronts Orochi using Momiji as bait. The plan fails and the government officials appear again. They reveal themselves to be members of the Terrestrial Administration Center (TAC for short), and manage to subdue Orochi. However, with the last of its strength, it makes a final attempt on Kusanagi.Momiji saves Kusanagi by taking Orochi's blow. Impaled by the Aragami, instead of dying, she is instead fused with the magatama, more specifically identified as a mitama, which gives Momiji the ability to sense the presence of other Aragami. The TAC agents explain that they are an organization dedicated to defeating the Aragami, who seek to destroy humanity. The current Kushinada, Momiji, must aid them because the other Kushinada, Momiji's twin sister, is now dead. Momiji, wishing to discover more about the twin sister she never knew and also to fulfill her destiny, agrees to join the TAC under the protection of Kusanagi, who wishes to destroy his former masters, the Aragami.The story becomes increasingly complex with the appearance of Murakumo, a man with eight mitamas who kills any Aragami he comes across for his own personal reasons. Kusanagi repeatedly attempts to kill Murakumo. Kaede Kunikida reappears along with a strange energy field in Tokyo, and Murakumo and Kaede's plans soon become clear – they intend to resurrect the god Susanoo and purify the world of humanity's influences, with Kaede acting as the leader of the movement.There is also a three episode OVA, Blue Seed Beyond, which takes place two years after the end of the TV series. It concerns what seems to be a resurgence of aragami (actually created via biotechnology), and introduces a new character, Valencia Tachibana. Like Kusanagi, she was implanted with a mitama without turning into a full aragami._____Naruto When activated, Susanoo forms around the user and becomes an extension of their will, acting and attacking on their behalf. Susanoo draws on the user's chakra in large amounts so long as it is active. Sasuke Uchiha describes the sensation of using Susanoo as feeling pain in every cell in his body, which only increases over time of usage as well as at higher developmental stages.Being a Mangekyō Sharingan-based ability, it also places a strain on the user's eyes the more it is used, however, it is not actually necessary for one's Mangekyō Sharingan to be active while using Susanoo; in fact, Madara Uchiha is able to use it without any eyes at all.(Pair Argus with Jupiter and you'll understand this better.)In its next stage, armour forms around the humanoid for further protection, causing it to resemble a yamabushi. In its final stage, users stabilise the chakra that comprises Susanoo to create a colossal form known as the Complete Body — Susanoo ( He with the ability to help by all means), the ultimate ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan.[Yamabushi (山伏, one who prostrates himself on the mountain) are Japanese mountain ascetic hermits.According to American writer Frederik L. Schodt:These positively medieval-looking nature worshipers carry metal staves and conch shells and wear straw sandals and sometimes a hemp cloth over-robe with the Heart Sutra written on it. They follow a mixture of esoteric or tantric Buddhism mixed with Shinto, the native animistic religion of Japan.]This form possesses power comparable to that of a tailed beast, capable of levelling giant mountains and, when enhanced by Six Paths Chakra, small planetoids with ease. Users can also channel their own techniques into the Complete Body — Susanoo, as well as shape it around the Nine-Tails to improve its offensive and defensive capabilities._____[5]All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (Bannō Bunka Nekomusume) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Yuzo Takada. It was serialized in Weekly Manga Action for only three issues in 1991, with the three published stories later compiled in a single volume collection in December 1997. The story begins when genius inventor Kyusaku Natsume transplants the brain of a cat found by his son Ryunosuke on Christmas Eve, into a schoolgirl android that he created and subsequently stole from his former employer, Mishima Heavy Industries (owned by his estranged wife and Ryunosuke's mother, Akiko Natsume). The result, Nuku Nuku (also known as Atsuko Natsume), is a nekomusume or cat girl. _____COMPARE TO:In designing Ryoko, Kajishima and Hayashi were inspired by the American sitcom I Dream of Jeannie and wanted to use her in their works. In this series, Ryoko still has Ryo-Ohki, her pet (or partner-in-crime) cabbit (cat/rabbit animal), which can transform into a well-armed spaceship.She is always shown to have a very competitive relationship with Princess Ayeka, who also has a very strong romantic interest in Tenchi. Ryoko has differing abilities between the different continuities (the OVA, Tenchi Universe and so on), but her aggressive, emotional personality tends to remain the same.Ryoko is a binary clone, the product of combining the DNA from an ova of Washu Hakubi (the greatest scientific genius in the universe)--making Washu her biological mother--with the DNA of a powerful aquatic lifeform, known as Masu._____[6]Ultra Maniac ( Urutora Maniakku) is a manga series written by Wataru Yoshizumi. The romantic comedy series features 8th grader Ayu Tateishi, a tennis club member, and her transfer student friend, Nina Sakura, who is actually a trainee witch from the magical kingdom.The anime adaptation has a very different plot starting after Ayu and Nina have first met. Instead of coming as a witch failure who is trying to prove herself to be more than she is said to be, Nina has come to Earth to find the five "Holy Stones". She tells Ayu that whoever collects all five will qualify to marry the prince of the Magic Kingdom. Nina's childhood friend Maya is also on Earth from the start, competing with Nina to find the stones. Though Nina does collect them all first, she learns that the prince and Maya are truly in love with one another, so Nina gives up the stones and her dream, allowing Maya and the prince to be with one another, and Nina stays on Earth with her friends.
(Maya : Nina = both the illusion of "reality")

Luna and Usagi assemble a team of fellow Sailor Guardians to find their princess and the Silver Crystal. They encounter the studious Ami Mizuno, who awakens as Sailor Mercury; Rei Hino, a local Shinto shrine maiden who awakens as Sailor Mars; Makoto Kino, a tall and strong transfer student who awakens as Sailor Jupiter; and Minako Aino, a young aspiring idol who had awakened as Sailor Venus a few months prior, accompanied by her talking feline companion Artemis. Additionally, they befriend Mamoru Chiba, a high school student who assists them on occasion as Tuxedo Mask.In the first arc, the group battles the Dark Kingdom, whose members attempt to find the Silver Crystal and free an imprisoned, evil entity called Queen Metaria. Usagi and her team discover that in their previous lives, they were members of the ancient Moon Kingdom in a period of time called the Silver Millennium. The Dark Kingdom waged war against them, destroying the Moon Kingdom. Its ruler Queen Serenity sent her daughter Princess Serenity, reincarnated as Usagi, along with her protectors the Sailor Guardians, their feline advisers Luna and Artemis, and the princess's true love Prince Endymion, who in turn was reborn as Mamoru.At the beginning of the second arc, the Sailor Guardians meet Usagi and Mamoru's future daughter Chibiusa, who arrives from a 30th-century version of Tokyo known as "Crystal Tokyo", which is ruled by Neo Queen Serenity, Usagi of the future and has been attacked by the group of villains known as the Black Moon Clan. During their journey, Sailor Moon and her friends meet Sailor Pluto, Guardian of the Time-Space Door. During the climactic battle of the arc, Sailor Pluto dies trying to save the sailor soldiers and Chibiusa was brainwashed by the enemy and turned into the Black Lady, but was eventually reformed and awakens as a Guardian herself—Sailor Chibi Moon.The fourth arc explores the Sailor Guardians' dreams and nightmares when the villainous group Dead Moon Circus exploits the Guardians' deepest fears, invades Elysion (which hosts the Earth's Golden Kingdom), and captures its high priest Helios, who turned into a Pegasus and tried to ask Guardians for help. This storyline also addresses Mamoru's relevance as protector of the Earth and owner of the Golden Crystal, the sacred stone of the Golden Kingdom. Mamoru and all ten of the reunited Guardians combine their powers, enabling Usagi to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon and defeat Dead Moon's leader, Queen Nehelenia.In the final arc the Sailor Starlights from the Planet Kinmoku, their ruler Princess Kakyuu, and the mysterious little girl Chibi-Chibi join Usagi in her fight against Shadow Galactica, a group of both corrupted and false Sailor Guardians and led by Sailor Galaxia, who have been rampaging across the galaxy and killing other Sailor Guardians to steal their Star Seeds, Sailor Crystals—the essence of their lives. After Mamoru and all of the main Solar System Guardians are killed by Shadow Galactica, Usagi travels to the Galaxy Cauldron, the birthplace of all Star Seeds of the Milky Way, in an attempt to revive her loved ones and to confront Chaos, the source of all strife in the galaxy.- - - - - - - - - -
Long live the Pumpkin Queen
The "Long Live the Pumpkin Queen" is a YA sequel novel, written by Shea Ernshaw, that was released on August 2nd, 2022. It takes place shortly after the events of the movie and in Sally's point of view.
(
Sally is an English language feminine given name. The name originated as a pet name for the Hebrew name Sarah, but has since become used independently. It is also a nickname for Salome and Salimeh, which are especially popular in the Eurasian country Georgia.[1] The name peaked in popularity in the U.S. in 1939, when it was ranked 52nd in popularity.
Selah 😹🙈🙉🙊)
According to an article, the premise of the book is stated:
"The novel sees a happily married Sally and Jack get their lives momentarily turned upside down when Sally accidentally lets loose a mysterious villain in Halloween Town. With Jack and the entire holiday world itself in peril, Sally goes on a quest to the other holiday worlds—including one previously unexplored—as the Pumpkin Queen, uncovering secrets about how to save the world and wrestle with new discoveries about her past life."
The official summary given on the preorder pages:
"Jack and Sally are "truly meant to be" ... or are they?
Sally Skellington is the official, newly-minted Pumpkin Queen after a whirlwind courtship with her true love, Jack, who Sally adores with every inch of her fabric seams -- if only she could say the same for her new role as Queen of Halloween Town. Cast into the spotlight and tasked with all sorts of queenly duties, Sally can't help but wonder if all she's done is trade her captivity under Dr. Finkelstein for a different -- albeit gilded -- cage. But when Sally and Zero accidentally uncover a long-hidden doorway to an ancient realm called Dream Town in the forest Hinterlands, she'll unknowingly set into motion a chain of sinister events that put her future as Pumpkin Queen, and the future of Halloween Town itself, into jeopardy. Can Sally discover what it means to be true to herself and save the town she's learned to call home, or will her future turn into her worst... well, nightmare?"
Two weeks before Halloween, the year after The Pumpkin King nearly destroyed Christmas, it's the night before Sally and Jack's wedding. Sally is glad to be out of the service of Dr. F, her Frankensteinian ex-master. As the summary says, she's contemplating the escape from one cage to another - the cage of her future title as Queen. She's plagued with self-doubt as a self-proclaimed "ragdoll". The wedding nevertheless proceeds and the new Queen is crowned. The couple decide to honeymoon in Valentines Town, the door behind the heart that seems a little too perfect. A little too "sugary-sweet". Possibly all compounded in the mind of a woman weighing down by the looming pressure of her new role. Her esteem pummeled again when meeting the poised Queen of Valentines Town, Ruby Valentino.The honeymoon ends and life begins, the new Queen thrust into her duties as Halloween Town's monarch. Photoshoots, organizing the Hallows Eve party, wardrobe changes and the ever looming public opinion - it's enough to overwhelm anyone, even the Pumpkin Queen. Jack's busy doing what Jack does so its up to Sally to manage on her own. She needs space and time to cope. So, she heads to a new part of the forest of doorways. Away from the beaten path covered in vines, there lies a new door. An indigo crescent moon that smells like lavender and chamomile tea upon its opening. Sally immediately feels her eyes become heavy as if laddened with the coins of the boatman. Before she can succumb to the tendrils of Morpheus, Zero the hound pulls her stitched-on arm free and she chases him down to retrieve it.It's quite.The three child menaces, ex-wards of The Boogeyman, are sound asleep with dust covering their eyes. Everyone. Everyone sleeps. Jack. The Vampires. The Witches.All except a stray black cat and Zero."The night is warm and drowsy. And you must be tired. Step into the open, and I will give you what you desire." Covered in clouds with a heavy brow, The Sandman makes his entrance."I am not the thing you fear." He whispers. " I am the giver of dreams. Of riddles and lullabies and moonbeams..."Sally never closed the crescent door.Morpheus has had the time to spread to all the other doorways in the forest. He and the Pumpkin Queen have an exchange where she's dosed with his sand to no effect. She gets away and goes to investigate. Valentines Town, Christmas Town, Easter Town, Thanksgiving Town, Independence Town, Irish Town....It's here that Sally meets a Leprechaun who knows all. He tells her of the creature known as the Sandman. "The ancient realms were around long before the days existed.""To beat the creature, you must travel to his realm - the land of dreams - and find a way to return him to where he belongs."Sally is given a clover for luck, and - unlike the petals of the rose she took from Valentines Town- it does not wilt as she goes through the portals. In The Land of dreams there stands a wall, to keep something out or in. Inside the wall, they write stories for the mortals to fall asleep to. Upon entrance, Sally is summoned by the Governor - he and his wife Ragdolls same as she. Not a creation of Frankenstein nor a member of the league of nightmares - SHE, the Pumpkin Queen, came from somewhere else entirely.The mad scientist kidnapped her at age 12. Her memory wiped. Her body once cotton filled was restuffed with leaves. She's taken back to her garden full of toy sentinels who never slumber nor sleep, all working around the clock to help dreamers drift. Then we get to "that which must be kept". The moon dust.More specifically, the dust that Morpheus used to snatch everyone's dreams for his own as the previous ruler of Dream Town. (Think Morgan Freeman in SOLOS stealing memories)Unsurprisingly, Dream Land holds a door that leads to all the libraries of the world. And to keep Morpheus from reentering their town, her parents lock her away and prepare to destroy every door that might grant him entry. Yet Sally has a plan. But in order to reach Halloween Town, she must go through the library portal, find a cemetery door and enter the town that way. The first library she reaches is that of England's (currently recently departed) Queen. She basically beats him with a green potion. Apparently, Morpheus never knew the sweet touch of rest. Never able to have a dream of his own.But, he and The Pumpkin Queen hug it out and Sailor moon, warrior for justice, prevails again. The portals are reopened and all the realms converge.-Fin._____

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
I know you [ Could Romulus have been another name for Ulysses?
A propos, according to a different version the city was named Romus, after the son of Ulysses and Circe.
Taken from "The Issue With Chronology"From the series History: Fiction or Science
Written by Anatoly Fomenko]
Be still and know that I Am...I told you to be patient. I told you to trust in me. Hours you searched for this small clue.Circe on her island...Seemingly meaningless and insignificant. And yet it matters as proof.Proof that we are who we say we are and when you ask, It is given unto you.
Its real and it works. You are heard.
__________
Towards the end of Hesiod's Theogony (c. 700 BC), it is stated that Circe bore Odysseus three sons: Agrius (otherwise unknown); Latinus; and Telegonus, who ruled over the Tyrsenoi, that is the Etruscans. Pestered by the amorous attentions of King Calchus the Daunian, the sorceress invited him to a drugged dinner that turned him into a pig and then shut him up in her sties. He was only released when his army came searching for him on the condition that he would never set foot on her island again.Plutarch took up the theme in a lively dialogue that was later to have several imitators. Contained in his 1st-century Moralia is the Gryllus episode in which Circe allows Odysseus to interview a fellow Greek turned into a pig. After his interlocutor informs Odysseus that his present existence is preferable to the human, they engage in a philosophical dialogue in which every human value is questioned and beasts are proved to be of superior wisdom and virtue.(My thoughts?This is the epic of time where the zodiac begins.
Circe, who could turn men to animals and vice versa.
The names Latinus and Telegonus sound vaguely familiar to a composite of languages and coordinates.
But the idea of her being "mother zoodiciaus" sounds even more plausible.
So why would one need a zodiac? 🤔
The long and
short
of it is, to reign in the power that "certain people " had at their disposal.
Same way they say the moon was introduced as a satellite that coincidentally coincides with the menstrual cycle?
What if
I
told you the giants made by
Gaia
that fought the gods (who we know are typically cyclops or "one eye's") are aspects of feminine power?
Notice how its always blood or some other bodily fluid that makes them.
Now what if
I
told you that this is the same concept of the sentience that was here in the ancient days that The Lords fought against.
Put plainly, your captains of industry
who
became thunder gods had to squash the ai before it got too powerful.
Enceladus, his body lightning-scarred,
lies prisoned under all, so runs the tale:
o'er him gigantic Aetna breathes in fire
from crack and seam; and if he haply turn
to change his wearied side, Trinacria's isle
trembles and moans, and thick fumes mantle heaven
In Trinacrian waters Enceladus dies and is buried under Aetna by Jove's decree; with the ponderous mountain above him he tosses restlessly, and defiantly breathes from his throat a penal fire.
In the midst of the island rise the charred cliffs of Aetna, eloquent monument of Jove’s victory over the Giants, the tomb of Enceladus, whose bound and bruisèd body breathes forth endless sulphur clouds from its burning wounds. Whene’er his rebellious shoulders shift their burden to the right or left, the island is shaken from its foundations and the walls of tottering cities sway this way and that.
That sounds like
mother
nature tap dancing beneath the surface, right?
And
isn't
it funny how Aetna is Mt. Etna or Edna
You
know? The wife of he who shall not be named.
Its funny how that mountain is also found in association with Morgan Le Fay.
Almost like its a power buried beneath the surface just waiting to be released...)
__________Al-Kahf 18And you would have thought they were awake, though they were asleep. We turned them over, to the right and left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. Had you looked at them, you would have certainly fled away from them, filled with horror.And so We awakened them so that they might question one another. One of them exclaimed, “How long have you remained ˹asleep˺?” Some replied, “Perhaps a day, or part of a day.” They said ˹to one another˺, “Your Lord knows best how long you have remained.__________
Seven Sleepers
(Hepta koimōmenoi: Septem dormientes : Aṣḥāb al-kahf : Sleepers of Ephesus: Companions of the Cave)Said to be a group of youths who hid inside a cave outside the city of Ephesus (Turkey) around AD 250 to escape persecution and emerged many years later. In the Christian version they are seeking to escape one of the Roman persecutions of Christians and awake some 300 years later.Another version of the story appears in the Quran (18:9–26). It was also translated into Persian, Kyrgyz, and Tatar. Early versions do not all agree on or even specify the number of sleepers A 6th century latin text titled Pilgrimage of Theodosius featured the sleepers as seven people in number, with a dog named Viricanus. However, in Islam no specific number is mentioned. Qur'an 18:22 discusses the disputes regarding their numbers. The number of years the sleepers slept also varies between accounts. The highest number, given by Gregory of Tours, was 373 years. Some accounts have 372. Jacobus de Voragine calculated it at 196 (from the year 252 until 448). Other calculations suggest 195. Islamic accounts, including the Qur'an, give a sleep of 309 years. These are presumably lunar years, which would make it 300 solar years. Many possibilities for sleepers exist but these catch the eye:Maximian (The Crown), Martinian (Third Eye, high ram), Dionisius (Throat, god of wine), John (Heart, the revelator), Constantine (Solar plexus, The lion), Malchus (Sacral, Malkuth), Serapion (Root, the coiled serpent)Maximilian, Martinian, Dionisius, John, Constantine, Yamblikh (Iamblichus), AnthonyMxM : The most high, maximusMr : Moor, mer, mur, mars - the martian, the high ram of the inverted paradox Dionysus: Zagreus, Hades, Pluto, Jupiter Constantine: The constant 'x' factor, cause what's in a name?Malchus: My king; kingdom; counselor, MLC = moloch, malachite, malkuth ( the Bible says his ear was cut off in the process of Jesus' detaining. As in, to apprehend the hand of God, the hammer was sacrificed - thus the kingdom was built)Anthony : the flower, some translations liken the name to Andon as in A DonSerapion: the serpentYamblikh : ...Other names: Iamblichus Chalcidensis, Iamblichus of Chalcis, Iamblichus of ApameaAs in the chaldean
(And the hound guards the gate's entrance as they sleep.)
The story says that during the persecutions by the Roman emperor Decius, around AD 250, seven young men were accused of following Christianity. They were given some time to recant their faith, but they refused to bow to Roman idols.
(Decius as in Odysseus)
Instead they chose to give their worldly goods to the poor and retire to a mountain cave to pray, where they fell asleep. The Emperor, seeing that their attitude towards paganism had not improved, ordered the mouth of the cave to be sealed.At some later time, when heated discussions were taking place between various schools of Christianity about the resurrection of the body in the day of judgement and life after death, a landowner decided to open up the sealed mouth of the cave, thinking to use it as a cattle pen. He opened it and found the sleepers inside. They awoke, imagining that they had slept but one day, and sent one of their number to Ephesus to buy food, with instructions to be careful.Upon arriving in the city, this person was astounded to find buildings with crosses attached; the townspeople for their part were astounded to find a man trying to spend old coins from the reign of Decius. The bishop was summoned to interview the sleepers; they told him their miracle story, and died praising God.__________Iamblichus placed the Monad at the head of his system, from which emanates the Nous (intellect, or demiurge) and the psyche. Plotinus represented the Nous as three stages: objective being, subjective life, and realized intellect. Iamblichus divided them into two spheres: intelligible (the objects of thought) and intellective (the domain of thought).Iamblichus detailed Plotinus' neoplatonic formal divisions, applied Pythagorean number symbolism more systematically, and (influenced by other Asian systems) interpreted neoplatonic concepts mythically. Unlike Plotinus, who broke from platonic tradition by positing a separate soul, Iamblichus re-affirmed the soul's embodiment in matter and believed that matter was as divine as the rest of the cosmos.Iamblichus and Proclus may have introduced a third sphere between the two worlds, separating and uniting them.The identification of nous with the demiurge in the neoplatonic tradition was adopted and developed in Christian gnosticism. Augustine of Hippo follows Plotinus, identifying the nous with logos (the creative principle) as part of the Trinity.Iamblichus multiplied the number of divine entities according to universal mathematical theorems. He conceived of gods, angels, demons and heroes: twelve heavenly gods (whose number increases to 36 or 360), 72 other gods proceeding from them, 21 chiefs and 42 nature-gods. His divine realm extends from the Monad to material nature, where the soul descends into matter and becomes embodied in human form.These superhuman beings influence natural events and communicate knowledge about the future, and are accessible with prayers and offerings. Iamblichus posited that numbers are independent, occupying a middle realm between the limited and unlimited. He believed that nature was bound by fate, differing from divine things which are not subject to fate and turn evil and imperfection to good ends; evil was generated accidentally in the conflict between the finite and the infinite.Born in Qinnasrin (Nest of Eagles) also known as Chalcis-on-Belus in (Chalcis ad Belum); and in (Khalkìs), was a historical town in northern Syria. The town was situated 25 km (16 mi) south west of Aleppo on the west bank of the Queiq River (historically, the Belus)[COMPARE TO: In at least some parts of Colchis, the process of urbanization seems to have been well advanced by the end of the second millennium BC. The Colchian Late Bronze Age (fifteenth to eighth century BC) saw the development of significant skill in the smelting and casting of metals.Sophisticated farming implements were made, and fertile, well-watered lowlands and a mild climate promoted the growth of progressive agricultural techniques.The earliest attestations of the name of Colchis can be found in the 8th century Greek poet Eumelus of Corinth and earlier, in Urartian records as "Qulḫa" mentioned by the Urartian kings, who conquered it in 744 or 743 BC before the Urartians and their territories were themselves conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire.According to Svante Cornell, "What could be conceived as the proto Georgian statehood emerged mainly in the Western parts of today's Georgia, with the kingdom of Colchis (Kolkheti) in the sixth century BCE.Colchis was inhabited by a number of tribes whose settlements lay along the shore of the Black Sea. Chief among those were the Machelones , Heniochi, Zydretae, Lazi, Chalybes, Tibareni/Tubal, Mossynoeci, Macrones, Moschi, Marres, Apsilae, Abasci, Sanigae, Coraxi, Coli, Melanchlaeni, Geloni and Soani (Suani).(Pay attention to Tubal)The ancients assigned various origins to the tribes that inhabited Colchis.Herodotus regarded the Colchians as "dark-skinned and woolly-haired", an Egyptian race. Herodotus states that the Colchians, with the Ancient Egyptians and the Ethiopians, were the first to practice circumcision, a custom which he claims that the Colchians inherited from remnants of the army of Pharaoh Sesostris (Senusret III).In Classical Greek mythology, Colchis was the home of Aeëtes, Medea, the Golden Fleece, and the fire-breathing Colchis bulls and was the destination of the Argonauts.(Also home to Circe, the witch who could turn men to animals; namely swine)Colchis also is thought to be a possible homeland of the Amazons. Amazons also were said to be of Scythian origin from Colchis.(Pay attention to the classic paintings you'll see with women revealing that one breast. A - Mazon. And as with the rolling theory of time, that transitions to a mason.)According to the Greek mythology, Colchis was a fabulously wealthy land situated on the mysterious periphery of the heroic world. Here in the sacred grove of the war god Ares (High Ram), King Aeëtes hung the Golden Fleece until it was seized by Jason and the Argonauts.Colchis was also the land where the mythological Prometheus was punished by being chained to a mountain while an eagle ate (the eagles perch at Chalcis-on-Belus) at his liver for revealing to humanity the secret of fire. Apollonius of Rhodes named Aea as the main city (Argonautica, passim). END COMPARISON]__________Matatron (Maṭaṭrōn), is an angel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam mentioned three times in the Talmud, in a few brief passages in the Aggadah, and in mystical Kabbalistic texts within Rabbinic literature. The figure forms one of the traces for the presence of dualist proclivities in the otherwise monotheistic visions of both the Tanakh and later Christian doctrine. In the Jewish kabbalistic tradition, he is sometimes portrayed as serving as the celestial scribe. The name Metatron is not mentioned in the Torah or the Bible and how the name originated is a matter of debate. In Islamic tradition, he is also known as Mīṭaṭrūn (the angel of the veil).In Jewish apocrypha and early Kabbalah, 'Metatron' is the name that Enoch received after his transformation into an angel.(If you know who this is, then you know why this is he who remains. He's a giant who sits on a mountain and grants any who climb to the top access to knowledge. He's a Sicillian cartographer, he's a king, he's an emirate. He's the one who was on top. My guess? There's about to be a new election and everyone's gunning for that number one spot. )Another hypothesis would derive Metatron from a combination of two Greek words meta, meaning 'after' and thronos, meaning 'throne', which, taken together, would suggest the idea of 'one who serves behind the throne' or 'one who occupies the throne next to the throne of glory'.(After the throne means after the throne. Her seat taken to accommodate him/them- the scribe.
Or is it simply case of "keep my memory alive"?)
The primary arguments against this etymology are that Metatron's function as a servant of the celestial throne emerges only later in the traditions regarding him, and θρóνος itself is not attested as a word in Talmudic literatureAmong the pseudepigrapha 1 Enoch: Book of Parables presents two figures: the son of man and Enoch. At first, these two characters seem to be separate entities. Enoch views the son of man enthroned in Heaven. Later, however, they prove to be one and the same. Many scholars believe that the final chapters in the Book of Parables are a later addition. Others think they are not and that the son of man is Enoch's heavenly double similarly to the Prayer of Joseph where Jacob is depicted as an angel. The Book of Daniel displays two similar characters: the Ancient of Days and the one like a man. Parts of the text in Daniel are Aramaic and may have been changed in translation.The Septuagint reads that the son of man came as the Ancient of Days. All other translations say the son of man gained access to the Ancient of Days and was brought before that one.The identification of Metatron with the gnostic 3 Enoch, where the name first appears, is not explicitly made in the Talmud although it does refer to a Prince of the World who was young but now is old. However, some of the earliest kabbalists assumed the connection. There also seems to be two Metatrons, one spelled with six letters, and one spelled with seven. The former may be the transformed Enoch, Prince of the Countenance within the divine palace; the latter, the Primordial Metatron, an emanation of the "Cause of Causes", specifically the tenth and last emanation, identified with the earthly Divine Presence.(The elder, the prince, and the essence. This is how you can have the same ends, but different means of accomplishment.
They all inevitably get to the honey pot, but they take different paths)
Furthermore, the Merkabah text Re'uyot Yehezkel identifies the Ancient of Days from the Book of Daniel as Metatron.x-X-x This term appears three times in the Book of Daniel (7:9, 13, 22), and is used in the sense of God being eternal.
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
— Daniel 7:9x-X-x Many scholars see a discontinuity between how Enoch is portrayed in the early Enoch literature and how Metatron is portrayed. Scholars commonly see the character of Metatron as being based on an amalgam of Jewish literature, in addition to Enoch, Michael, Melchizedek, and Yahoel among others are seen as influencesIt is suggested that the name may have originated from either mattara ('keeper of the watch') or the verb memater ('to guard' or 'to protect'). An early derivation of this can be seen in Shimmusha Rabbah, where Enoch is clothed in light and is the guardian of the souls ascending to heaven. Odeberg also suggested that the name Metatron might have been adopted from the Old Persian name Mithra. Citing Wiesner, he drew up a number of parallels that appeared to link Mithra and Metatron based on their positions in heaven and dutiesAnother hypothesis would derive Metatron from a combination of two Greek words (meta, meaning 'after') and (thronos, meaning 'throne'), which, taken together, would suggest the idea of 'one who serves behind the throne' or 'one who occupies the throne next to the throne of glory'.The primary arguments against this etymology are that Metatron's function as a servant of the celestial throne emerges only later in the traditions regarding him, and θρóνος itself is not attested as a word in Talmudic literature.Among the pseudepigrapha 1 Enoch: Book of Parables presents two figures: the son of man and Enoch. At first, these two characters seem to be separate entities. Enoch views the son of man enthroned in Heaven. Later, however, they prove to be one and the same.In 2 Enoch, Enoch is assigned titles commonly used by Metatron such as "the Youth, the Prince of the Presence and the Prince of the World." However, Enoch is not referred to as the Lesser YHWH. In 3 Enoch, Metatron is called the Lesser YHWH. This raises a problem since the name Metatron does not seem to be directly related to the name of God YHWH. Scholem proposes that this is because the Lesser YHWH is a reference to Yahoel. In Maaseh Merkabah the text reasons that Metatron is called the Lesser YHWH because in Hebrew gematria Metatron is numerically equivalent to another name of God Shaddai. Scholem does not find this convincing. Scholem points to the fact that both Yahoel and Metatron were known as the Lesser YHWH. In 3 Enoch 48D1 Metatron is called both Yahoel Yah and Yahoel. In addition to being one of the seventy names of Metatron from 3 Enoch 48D, Yahoel and Metatron are also linked in Aramaic incantation bowl inscriptions.Hagigah 15a describes Elisha ben Abuyah in Paradise seeing Metatron sitting down (an action that is not done in the presence of God). Elishah ben Abuyah therefore looks to Metatron as a deity and says heretically: "Perhaps there are, God forbid, two powers in Heaven!"The rabbis explain that Metatron had permission to sit because of his function as the Heavenly Scribe, writing down the deeds of Israel. The Talmud states that it was proved to Elisha that Metatron could not be a second deity by the fact that Metatron received 60 "strokes with fiery rods" to demonstrate that Metatron was not a god, but an angel, and could be punishedIn Sanhedrin 38b one of the minim tells Rabbi Idith that Metatron should be worshiped because he has a name like his master. Rabbi Idith uses the same passage Exodus 23:21 to show that Metatron was an angel and not a deity and thus should not be worshiped. Furthermore, as an angel, Metatron has no power to pardon transgressions nor was he to be received even as a messenger of forgiveness.In Avodah Zarah 3b, the Talmud hypothesizes as to how God spends his day. It is suggested that in the fourth quarter of the day God sits and instructs the school children, while in the preceding three quarters Metatron may take God's place or God may do this among other tasks.Metatron says, "He [the Holy One] called me, 'The lesser YHVH' in the presence of his whole household in the height, as it is written, 'my name is in him.'" (12:5, Alexander's translation.) The narrator of this book, supposedly Rabbi Ishmael, tells how Metatron guided him through Heaven and explained its wonders. 3 Enoch presents Metatron in two ways: as a primordial angel (9:2–13:2) and as the transformation of Enoch after he was assumed into HeavenThis Enoch, whose flesh was turned to flame, his veins to fire, his eye-lashes to flashes of lightning, his eye-balls to flaming torches, and whom God placed on a throne next to the throne of glory, received after this heavenly transformation the name MetatronThe Staff of Moses is also described by the Zohar as a reference to Metatron. The Zohar also states that the two tets in totaphot (the Biblical Hebrew term for the phylacteries) are a reference to Metatron. The Zohar draws distinction between Metatron and Michael. While Michael is described repeatedly in the Zohar as the figure represented by the High Priest, Metatron is represented by the structure of the tabernacle itself.__________Mithra (Miça), commonly known as Mehr or Mithras among Romans, is an ancient Iranian deity of covenants, light, oath, justice, the sun, contracts, and friendship. In addition to being the divinity of contracts, Mithra is also a judicial figure, an all-seeing protector of Truth, and the guardian of cattle, the harvest, and the WatersTogether with the Vedic common noun mitra, the Avestan common noun miθra derives from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mitrám (Mitra), from the root *mi- "to bind", with the "tool suffix" -tra- "causing to". Thus, etymologically mitra/miθra means "that which causes binding", preserved in the Avestan word for "Covenant, Contract, Oath".In Middle Iranian languages (Middle Persian, Parthian etc.), miθra became mihr, from which New Persian mehr and Armenian mihr/mher ultimately derive. As a member of the Iranian ahuric triad, along with Ahura Mazda and Ahura Berezaiti (Apam Napat), Mithra is an exalted figure. Together with Rashnu "Justice" and Sraosha "Obedience", Mithra is one of the three judges at the Chinvat Bridge, the "Bridge of Separation" that all souls must cross. Unlike Sraosha, however, Mithra is not a psychopomp, a guide of souls to the place of the dead.Should the Good Thoughts, Words, and Deeds outweigh the Bad, Sraosha alone conveys the Soul across the Bridge.As the god of contract, Mithra is undeceivable, infallible, eternally watchful, and never-resting. Mithra is additionally the protector of cattle, and his stock epithet is "of Wide Pastures." He is guardian of the waters and ensures that those pastures receive enough of it.
(A watcher of the flocks like Adonis-Tammuz?)
The Avestan Hymn to Mithra (Yasht 10) is the longest, and one of the best-preserved, of the Yashts. Mithra is described in the Zoroastrian Avesta scriptures as "Mithra of Wide Pastures, of the Thousand Ears, and of the Myriad Eyes," (Yasna 1:3), "the Lofty, and the Everlasting... the Province Ruler,"(Yasna 1:11), "the Yazad (Divinity) of the Spoken Name" (Yasna 3:5), and "the Holy," (Yasna 3:13).(Iasa, Isa, Esu, Jesse...)The Khorda Avesta (Book of Common Prayer) also refer to Mithra in the Litany to the Sun, "Homage to Mithra of Wide Cattle Pastures," (Khwarshed Niyayesh 5), "Whose Word is True, who is of the Assembly, Who has a Thousand Ears, the Well-Shaped One, Who has Ten Thousand Eyes, the Exalted One, Who has Wide Knowledge, the Helpful One, Who Sleeps Not, the Ever Wakeful. We sacrifice to Mithra, The Lord of all countries, Whom Ahura Mazda created the most glorious, Of the Supernatural Yazads. So may there come to us for Aid, Both Mithra and Ahura, the Two Exalted Ones,"- (Khwarshed Niyayesh 6-7)"I shall sacrifice to his mace, well-aimed against the Skulls of the Daevas"- (Khwarshed Niyayesh 15).Some recent theories have claimed Mithra represents the Sun itself, but the Khorda Avesta refers to the Sun as a separate entity – as it does with the Moon, with which the Sun has "the Best of Friendships," (Khwarshed Niyayesh 15)In Zoroastrian scripture, Mithra is distinct from the divinity of the Sun, Hvare-khshaeta (literally "Radiant Sun", from which the Middle Persian word Khorshed for the Sun).However, in Zoroastrian tradition, Mithra evolved from being an all-seeing figure (hence vaguely associated with the Sun) into a divinity co-identified with the Sun itself, effectively taking over Hvare-khshaeta's role. It is uncertain how and when and why this occurred, but it is commonly attributed to conflation with the Babylonian sun god Shamash and/or the Greek deity Apollo, with whom Mithra shares multiple characteristics such as a judicial function and association with the Sun. This characteristic is part of Mithra's Indo inheritance in that the Indic Rigveda have solar divinities that are not distinct from Mithra/Mitra and Mitra is associated with sunrise in the Atharvaveda. Sun Salutation is a daily yogic activity worldwide even in current times and is preceded by chanting "OM Mitraya Namaha", where "Mitraya" is one of the 108 Names for Lord Surya/Sun God.x-X-x The Chinvat Bridge (Cinvatô Peretûm, "bridge of judgement" or "beam-shaped bridge") or the Bridge of the Requiter in Zoroastrianism is the sifting bridge, which separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. All souls must cross the bridge upon death.The bridge is guarded by two four-eyed dogs, described in the Videvdat (Vendidad) 13,9 as ("two bridge-guarding dogs").The Bridge's appearance varies depending on the observer's asha, or righteousness. As related in the text known as the Bundahishn, if a person has been wicked, the bridge will appear narrow and the demon Chinnaphapast will emerge and drag their soul into the druj-demana (the House of Lies), a place of eternal punishment and suffering similar to the concept of Hell. If a person's good thoughts, words and deeds in life are many, the bridge will be wide enough to cross, and the Daena, a spirit representing revelation, will appear and lead the soul into the House of Song. Those souls that successfully cross the bridge are united with Ahura Mazda.(Now you might understand the concepts 'they' are introducing. The golden fleece, the rainbow bridge, Song's home, the red heifer....)Often, the Chinvat Bridge is identified with the rainbow, or with the Milky Way galaxy, such as in Professor C.P. Tiele's "History of Religion ". However, other scholars such as C.F. Keary and Ferdinand Justi disagree with this interpretation, citing descriptions of the Chinvat Bridge as straight upward, rather than curvilinear.Three divinities are thought to be guardians of the Chinvat Bridge: Sraosha (Conscience), Mithra (Covenant) and Rashnu (Justice).Alternate names for this bridge include Chinwad, Cinvat, Chinvar or Chinavat. The concept of the Chinvat bridge is similar to that of the As-Sirāt in Islam.
As thou dost desire, O holy (one)! so shalt thou be, holy shalt thou-cause [thy] soul to pass over the Chinvat Bridge; holy shalt thou come into Heaven. Thou shalt intone the Gatha Ushtavaiti, reciting the salvation hail.
The Vendidad also describes the Chinvat Bridge in fargard 19.
O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! Where are the rewards given? Where does the rewarding take place? Were is the rewarding fulfilled? Whereto do men come to take the reward that, during their life in the material world, they have won for their souls?
Ahura Mazda answered: 'When the man is dead, when his time is over, then the wicked, evil-doing Daevas cut off his eyesight. On the third night, when the dawn appears and brightens up, when Mithra, the god with beautiful weapons, reaches the all-happy mountains, and the sun is rising.
'Then the fiend, named Vizaresha, O Spitama Zarathushtra, carries off in bonds the souls of the wicked Daeva-worshippers who live in sin. The soul enters the way made by Time, and open both to the wicked and to the righteous. At the head of the Chinwad bridge, the holy bridge made by Mazda, they ask for their spirits and souls the reward for the worldly goods which they gave away here below.
'Then comes the beautiful, well-shapen, strong and well-formed maid, with the dogs at her sides, one who can distinguish, who has many children, happy, and of high understanding. 'She makes the soul of the righteous one go up above the Hara-berezaiti; above the Chinwad bridge she places it in the presence of the heavenly gods themselves.
x-X-x As-Sirāt is, according to Islam, the bridge over which every person must pass on the Yawm al-Qiyamah (lit. 'Day of Resurrection') in order to enter Jannah (lit. 'Paradise').(So if Jannah:Jana:Ianna:Vanna:Jane is paradise, how did Yohanna and Mamre - the supposed opposers of Moses - get stopped at the 5th Heaven by Metatron?
"They gave up their talismans and were expelled from the world to come"
Or was it that SHE had her symbols taken and transferred to the Holding Company?)
On Judgement Day, after the dead have been resurrected, assembled, and judged by God, the saved and the damned now being clearly distinguished, the souls will traverse over hellfire via the bridge of As-Sirāt. The faithful will "move easily and swiftly across a broad path", led first of all by Muhammad and other leading lights of the community on their way to Jannah; those judged guilty of sin but still considered to be mu'minun (lit. 'believers') will fall from the bridge into jahannam (lit. 'hellfire') but remain there only for a limited period of purgation; unbelievers, however, will find the bridge has become "sharper than a sword and thinner than a hair" and darkness blinds their way. Their inevitable fall from the bridge will be an "inescapable descent" into their fiery destination of everlasting punishment.This specific event is not mentioned in the Quran but is said to be based on verses Q.36:66 and Q.37:23-24, although both sets "are rather indefinite". Only Q.37:23-24 mentions hell in the form of al-jahīm.On this Day We will seal their mouths, their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify to what they used to commit.Had We willed, We could have easily blinded their eyes, so they would struggle to find their way. How then could they see?[Quran 36:65–66](Sounds a lot like modern day technical usage right? You talk with your hands by typing. You leave a carbon footprint showing your deeds... Makes a littlemore sense how your thunder gods came to rule, right?)They will be told, "This is the Day of Final Decision which you used to deny."Allah will say to the angels, "Gather all the wrongdoers along with their peers, and whatever they used to worshipinstead of Allah, then lead them all to the path of Hell [ṣirāṭ al-jahīm]. And detain them, for they must be questioned." Then they will be asked, "What is the matter with you that you can no longer help each other?"Q.37:21-25Neither set of verses mentions a bridge nor falling into hell, but Ṣirāṭ al-jahīm "was adopted into Islamic tradition to signify the span over jahannam, the top layer of the FireIn the hadith about "the bridge" or a bridge to hell or a bridge between heaven and hell, or over hell. According to one Sahih al-Bukhari hadith:
"... We, the companions of the Prophet said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the bridge?' He said, "It is a slippery (bridge) on which there are clamps and (Hooks like) a thorny seed that is wide at one side and narrow at the other and has thorns with bent ends.
Such a thorny seed is found in Najd and is called As-Sa'dan. Some of the believers will cross the bridge as quickly as the wink of an eye, some others as quick as lightning, a strong wind, fast horses or she-camels. So some will be safe without any harm; some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some will fall down going into Hell. The last person will cross by being dragged over the bridge."
The idea of a bridge crossing to the underworld has found expression in a number of different religious traditions" In Judaism, a version of this doctrine is espoused by Philo of Alexandria in De Somniis, where he interprets "Jacob's ladder" as symbolic of the aerial realm, the air between heaven and earth, through which departed spirits ascend before either united to God or falling back to earth to be reincarnated. The Zohar also seems to have a similar view. Zoroastrianism also has this idea. The Chinvat bridge, which occurs in the Gathas of Zarathushtra, has many similarities and is a close concept to As-Sirat. S. G. F. Brandon quotes the Dāstan-i Mēnōk-i Krat" ... pursued by the malevolence of the evildoer Wrath who bears a bloody spear, (the soul) will come to the Bridge of the Requiter, lofty and dreadful, for thither must saved and damned alike proceed." The Chinvat Bridge is also referred to many times in both Avestan and Pahlavi literature.Certain forms of Christianity also feature a similar bridge or passage, such as the Brig of Dread in folk Western Christianity, or the passage through the aerial toll houses in Eastern Orthodoxy.Manichaeism calls this path to heaven or paradise the "Pillar of Glory" and identifies it with the Milky Way. Like the versions of this doctrine in Philo and the Kabbalah, the Manichaean account entails reincarnation as a possibility resulting from falling off the path or turning back.__________Apart from their opposition to Moses there are other aggadic lore and legends about Egyptian sorcerers; it was said that during the end of their days they had necessary occult knowledge to embark on a journey to the Jewish world to come. They were not welcomed and the angels of the first few heavens fought them vigorously but they could not evict them due to the potent talismans that were worn by the wizards. As they entered the fourth heaven they were met by Michael and Gabriel; legends say that the battle was very evenly balanced, but in the end it was the angels who had to fall back.Upon entering the fifth heaven they were met by none other than Metatron, who did not come at them with defiance or anger, but appeared accommodating, considering the circumstances; after conversing for a short time the angel was successful in convincing Jannes and Jambres to remove their talismans, leaving them thus vulnerable. Metatron was quick to act and threw them out of heaven with a wave of his hand. It is said that they lost all memory of the event after that(The talismans are symbols of HER. You notice how Ashera got lost in translation during all this?)__________
Naomi
(Noʻomī, Tiberian: Nā‘omī) is Ruth's mother-in-law in the Hebrew Bible in the Book of Ruth. The etymology of her name is not certain, but it is possible that it means "good, pleasant, lovely, winsome."Naomi is married to a man named Elimelech. A famine causes them to move with their two sons, from their home in Judea to Moab. While there Elimelech dies, as well as his sons who had gotten married in the meantime.
(I already pointed out that this is El-Moloch. Naomi is Na-amah. )
Near destitute, Naomi returns to Bethlehem with one daughter-in-law, Ruth, whom she could not dissuade from accompanying her. Her other daughter-in-law, Orpah, remains in Moab.When Naomi returns, she tells the Bethlehemites, "Do not call me Naomi, call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me". The Book of Ruth depicts the struggles of Naomi and Ruth for survival in a patriarchal environment.(Mara : Moor : Mer : Mare: Mare: Mamre : aka Asherah. Now you see why she might have felt bitter or neglected.)The arrival of Naomi and Ruth in Bethlehem coincides with the barley harvest. Naomi gives Ruth permission to glean those fields where she is allowed. Ruth is working in the field of Boaz, when a servant identifies her to him as Naomi's daughter-in-law. It happens that Boaz is a kinsman of Naomi's late husband. He tells her to work with female servants, warns the young men not to bother her, and at mealtime invites her to share his food. When Naomi learns that Ruth has the attention and kindness of Boaz, she counsels Ruth to approach him directly:"... [P]ut on your best attire and go down to the threshing floor. Do not make yourself known to the man before he has finished eating and drinking. But when he lies down, take note of the place where he does so. Then go, uncover a place at his feet, and lie down. He will tell you what to do."(Can't you just imagine all the labels this might invoke? Seductress, harlot, jezebel, scarlet woman....and yet, THIS is the one time where the seduction was permitted?)__________Naamah Naʿămā is an individual mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in Genesis 4:22. A descendant of Cain, she was the only mentioned daughter of Lamech and Zillah and their youngest mentioned child; her brother was Tubal-cain, while Jabal and Jubal were her half-brothers, sons of Lamech's other wife Adah. She is often conflated with or connected to Naamah of the Zohar, one of the first women to seduce the grigori and birth nephilim.Parent(s): Lamech and Zillahmaybe Enoch and Ednax-X-x Tubal-cain or Tubalcain (Tūḇal Qayīn) is a person mentioned in the Bible, in Genesis 4:22, known for being the first blacksmith. He is stated as the "forger of all instruments of bronze and iron". A descendant of Cain, he was the son of Lamech and Zillah. Tubal-cain was the brother of Naamah and half-brother of Jabal and Jubal.The Israeli kibbutz Tuval is named after him.
(Forger like Hephaestus or Vulcan. Wasn't he the son of Hera?)
x-X-x Naamah Naamah is indistinguishable from the human Naamah, who earned her name by seducing men through her play of cymbals.
(I told you she gave up her symbols right? But isnt it funny how Mithra welcomes souls into Ahura Mazda - the red heifer's-
House of Song
?)
She also enticed the angel Shamdon or Shomron and bore Ashmodai, the king of devils. It was later, in Kabbalistic literature like the Zohar, that she became an inhuman spirit.___________Asmodai , where aēšma means "wrath", and daēva signifies "demon". While the daēva Aēšma is thus Zoroastrianism's demon of wrath and is also well-attested as such, the compound aēšma-daēva is not attested in scripture. It is nonetheless likely that such a form did exist, and that the Book of Tobit's "Asmodaios" and the Talmud's "Ashmedai" reflect it. In the Zoroastrian and Middle Persian demonology, there did exist the conjuncted form khashm-dev. Asmoday, Asmodai, Asmodee, Osmodeus, and Osmodai have also been used. The name is alternatively spelled in the bastardized forms ( ʾŠMDʾY) Hashmedai also Hashmodai, Hasmodai, Khashmodai, Khasmodai), Hammadai ( Khammadai), Shamdon (Šamdōn),and Shidonai (Šīdōnʾāy
(Did you catch the Samedi in SMDY?)
Some traditions have subsequently identified Shamdon as the father of Asmodeus. The Jewish Encyclopedia of 1906 rejects the otherwise accepted etymological relation between the Persian "Æshma-dæva" and Judaism's "Ashmodai" claiming that the particle "-dæva" could not have become "-dai" and that Æshma-dæva as such—a compound name—never appears in Persian sacred texts. Still, the encyclopedia proposes that the "Asmodeus" from the Apocrypha and the Testament of Solomon are not only related somewhat to Aeshma but have similar behaviour, appearance and roles, to conclude in another article under the entry "Aeshma", in the paragraph "Influence of Persian Beliefs on Judaism", that Persian Zoroastrian beliefs could have heavily influenced Judaism's theology on the long term, bearing in mind that in some texts there are crucial conceptual differences while in others there seems to be a great deal of similarity, proposing a pattern of influence over folk beliefs that would extend further to the mythology itself. However, the Jewish Encyclopedia asserts that although 'Æshma does not occur in the Avesta in conjunction with dæva, it is probable that a fuller form, such as Æshmo-dæus, has existed, since it is paralleled by the later Pahlavi-form "Khashm-dev"'. Furthermore, it is stated that Asmodeus or Ashmedai "embodies an expression of the influence that the Persian religion or Persian popular beliefs have exercised" on Judaism.The Asmodeus of the Book of Tobit is hostile to Sarah, Raguel's daughter, (Tobit 6:13); and slays seven successive husbands on their wedding nights, impeding the sexual consummation of the marriages. In the New Jerusalem Bible translation, he is described as "the worst of demons" (Tobit 3:8). When the young Tobias is about to marry her, Asmodeus proposes the same fate for him, but Tobias is enabled, through the counsels of his attendant angel Raphael, to render him innocuous. By placing a fish's heart and liver on red-hot cinders, Tobias produces a smoky vapour that causes the demon to flee to Egypt, where Raphael binds him (Tobit 8:2–3).According to some translations, Asmodeus is strangled.Perhaps Asmodeus punishes the suitors for their carnal desire, since Tobias prays to be free from such desire and is kept safe.The figure of Ashmedai in the Talmud is less malign in character than the Asmodeus of Tobit. In the former, he appears repeatedly in the light of a good-natured and humorous fellow. But besides that, there is one feature in which he parallels Asmodeus, in as much as his desires turn upon Bathsheba and later Solomon's wives.Another Talmudic legend has King Solomon tricking Asmodai into collaborating in the construction of Solomon's Temple (see: The Story of King Solomon and Ashmedai).Another legend depicts Asmodai throwing King Solomon over 400 leagues away from the capital by putting one wing on the ground and the other stretched skyward. He then changed places for some years with King Solomon. When King Solomon returned, Asmodai fled from his wrath. (Or perhaps the king just showed his wrathful nature for 400 years?)Similar legends can be found in Islamic lore. Asmodeus is referred to as Sakhr ( the Rock or the Stony One), because Solomon banished him into a rock, after he takes his kingdom back from him. He is considered to be a king of the jinn or demons (divs).Another passage describes him as marrying Lilith, who became his queen.In the Testament of Solomon, a 1st–3rd century text, the king invokes Asmodeus to aid in the construction of the Temple. The demon appears and predicts Solomon's kingdom will one day be divided (Testament of Solomon, verse 21–25).When Solomon interrogates Asmodeus further, the king learns that Asmodeus is thwarted by the angel Raphael, as well as by sheatfish found in the rivers of Assyria. He also admits to hating water. Asmodeus claims that he was born of a human mother and an angel father.x-X-x Raphael ("God has healed") is an archangel first mentioned in the Book of Tobit and in 1 Enoch, both estimated to date from between the 3rd and 2nd century BCE. In later Jewish tradition, he became identified as one of the three heavenly visitors entertained by Abraham at the Oak of Mamre. He is not named in either the New Testament or the Quran, but later Christian tradition identified him with healing and as the angel who stirred waters in the Pool of Bethesda in John 5:2–4, and in Islam, where his name is Israfil, he is understood to be the unnamed angel of Quran 6:73, standing eternally with a trumpet to his lips, ready to announce the Day of Judgment. (The angel of healing meets with Abraham under the oak of Maman?)In the Hebrew Bible, the word (malʾāk̠) literally means messenger; either human or supernatural in nature. When used in the latter sense it is translated as "angel".The original mal'akh lacked both individuality and hierarchy, but after the Babylonian exile they were graded into a Babylonian-style hierarchy and the word archangelos, archangel, first appears in the Greek text of 1 Enoch. it is revealed that Raphael was originally once named Libbiel ("God is my heart"). In the Midrash, God takes council with His Angels before he creates Adam the first Man. The Angels were not all of one opinion however, with differing views and reasons. The Angel of Love and Angel of Justice both favoured Man's creation as he would be affectionate and loving, alongside practicing Justice. The Angel of Truth and the Angel of Peace opposed his creation however, as he would be full of lies and be quarrelsome. To invalidate his protest, God cast the Angel of Truth down from Heaven to Earth, and when the others cried out against the treatment of their companion, He said, "Truth will spring back out of the earth." Before their objections, God had only told the Angels of the good there would be among Humans, but not of the evil too. Despite not knowing the whole truth, the Angels were nevertheless prompted to cry out: "What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?"God replied: "The fowl of the air and the fish of the sea, what were they created for? Of what avail a larder full of appetizing dainties, and no guest to enjoy them?" And the Angels could not but exclaim: "O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth! Do as is pleasing in Thy sight."For not a few of the Angels their opposition bore fatal consequences. When God summoned the band under the Archangel Michael, and asked their opinion on the creation of man, they answered scornfully: "What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" God thereupon stretched forth His little finger, and all were consumed by fire except their Chief Michael. And the same fate befell the band under the leadership of the Archangel Gabriel; he alone of all was saved from destruction. The third band consulted was commanded by the Archangel Libbiel. Taught by the horrible fate of his predecessors, he warned his troop: "You have seen what misfortune overtook the Angels who said 'What is man, that Thou art mindful of him?' Let us have a care not to do likewise, lest we suffer the same dire punishment. For God will not refrain from doing in the end what He has planned. Therefore it is advisable for us to yield to His wishes."Thus warned, the Angels spoke: "Lord of the world, it is well that Thou hast thought of creating man. Do Thou create him according to Thy will. And as for us, we will be his attendants and his ministers, and reveal unto him all our secrets."x-X-x In the Malleus Maleficarum (1486), Asmodeus was considered the demon of lust. Sebastien Michaelis said that his adversary is St. John. Some demonologists of the 16th century assigned a month to a demon and considered November to be the month in which Asmodai's power was strongest.Other demonologists asserted that his zodiacal sign was Aquarius but only between January 30 and February 8.He has 72 legions of demons under his command. He is one of the Kings of Hell under Lucifer the emperor. He incites gambling, and is the overseer of all the gambling houses in the court of Hell. Some Catholic theologians compared him with Abaddon. Yet other authors considered Asmodeus a prince of revenge.The Dictionnaire Infernal (1818) by Collin de Plancy portrays Asmodeus with the breast of a man, a cock leg, serpent tail, three heads (one of a man spitting fire, one of a sheep, and one of a bull), riding a lion with dragon wings and neck - all of these creatures being associated with either lascivity, lust or revenge in some cultures. The Archbishop of Paris approved the portrait.Asmodai appears as the king 'Asmoday' in the Ars Goetia, where he is said to have a seal in gold and is listed as number thirty-two according to respective rank.He "is strong, powerful and appears with three heads; the first is like a bull, the second like a man, and the third like a ram or a goat; the tail of a serpent, and from his mouth issue flames of fire." Also, he sits upon an infernal dragon, holds a lance with a banner and, amongst the Legions of Amaymon, Asmoday governs seventy-two legions of inferior spirits.___________According to the Zohar, after Cain kills Abel, Adam separates from Eve for 130 years. During this time, Lilith and Naamah seduce him and bear his demonic children, who became the Plagues of Mankind. She and Lilith cause epilepsy in children.In another story from the Zohar, Naamah and Lilith are said to have corrupted the angels Ouza and Azazel. The text states she also attracts demons, as she is continuously chased by demon kings Afrira and Qastimon every night, but she leaps away every time and takes multiple forms to entice men.She makes sport with the sons of man, and conceives from them through their dreams, from the male desire, and she attaches herself to them. She takes the desire, and nothing more, and from that desire she conceives and brings forth all kinds of demons into the world. And those sons she bears from men visit the women of humankind, who then conceive from them and give birth to spirits. And all of them go to the first Lilith and she brings them up.A 1340 Kabbalistic treatise by Bahya ben Asher states Naamah is one of the mates of the archangel Samael, along with Lilith, Agrat bat Mahlat and Eisheth. It is stated Esau took four wives in imitation to him.

Quest for the Grail"Sangrail"
What is the meaning of the word sangreal?
Another term for the Grail
; recorded from late Middle English, the word comes from Old French sant graal 'Holy Grail', although later spurious etymologies suggested that the original form was sang roial 'royal blood' or Sangreal, referring to the actual blood of Christ.
INTRODUCTION :Cicada 3301 is a nickname given to three sets of puzzles posted under the name "3301" online between 2012 and 2014. The first puzzle started on January 2, 2012, on 4chan and ran for nearly a month. A second round of puzzles began one year later on January 4, 2013, and then a third round following the confirmation of a fresh clue posted on Twitter on January 4, 2014.
When it showed up on January 4, 2012 the mysterious image contained a simple message in white text on a black background:Hello. We are looking for highly intelligent individuals. To find them, we have devised a test. There is a message hidden in the image. Find it, and it will lead you on the road to finding us. We look forward to meeting the few who will make it all the way through. Good luck.”It was signed “3301.”Tackling the puzzle would lead Eriksson to rely on a host of skills from steganography to cryptography, to an understanding of ancient Mayan numerology and a familiarity with cyberpunk speculative fiction.The coordinates led to telephone poles in countries around the world, including in Spain, Russia, America, France, Japan, and Poland.Eriksson scanned the QR code, which lead to another two images, inside of which were more hidden text, including text from what Eriksson found was the William Gibson poem Agrippa. Noting that the text referenced prime numbers, Eriksson surmised that perhaps the book code he used on the text found on Reddit might reveal where to go next if he used it on the Gibson poem. It worked. He was directed to an address on the anonymous Tor network.“It is most likely an underground organization, not related to any government or intelligence agency,” he says. “Based on the references in their challenges–the Agrippa poem by William Gibson, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake, The Book of The Law by Aleister Crowley–and their constant references to prime numbers and the like, they are likely intellectual, anti-establishment, ideologically driven and they seem to be valuing logical/analytical thinking highly. They seem to share a lot of ideology with the cryptoanarchy movement, and old-school hackers.”
Solvers were quick to try different methods to find it. A common use was to initially open the image file into a text editing application, which allows users to read a dump of the bytes in the image. An unusual text was appended at the end of the file:
TIBERIVS CLAVDIVS CAESAR says "lxxt>33m2mqkyv2gsq3q=w]O2ntk"
This was quickly found to be a Caesar cipher because of the repeated characters, hence the reference. Decrypting this cipher and following the URL led to the discovery of a duck with the words"WOOPS Just decoys this way. Looks like you can’t guess how to get the message out” This was their way of hinting at the steganography program OutGuess. Without this hint, the solvers may not have found or used the program. OutGuess is one of many steganography applications.This was a difficult clue to follow, but solvers soon realized that it meant that the program OutGuess had to be used (hence the words guess and out).In its simplest form, OutGuess is a steganography program designed to hide messages within images.

), a country music channel. GAC was later acquired by Scripps Networks and, in turn, Discovery Inc. Under Scripps, GAC's format was widened to include lifestyle programming pertaining to the American Heartland and the South, but the network did continue carrying some country music-related programming for a period.
The channel was launched on December 31, 1995, with the first music video to be broadcast on the channel, Garth Brooks' "The Thunder Rolls". The channel was originally owned by the Centennial, Colorado-based Jones Radio Network.

Starfish sites were large-scale night-time decoys created during the Blitz to simulate burning British cities. The aim was to divert German night bombers from their intended targets so they would drop their ordnance over the countryside.Starfish Project : "We began in 2006 What we shared was a desire to restore hope and bring freedom. We help exploited women and girls experience freedom, establish independence and develop careers."PROJECT STARFISH AMERICA: "We initially started out in 2012 by creating contemporary employment for the blind and visually impaired."Starfish Prime was a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the United States, a joint effort of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Defense Atomic Support Agency. It was launched from Johnston Atoll on July 9, 1962, and was the largest nuclear test conducted in outer space, and one of five conducted by the US in space.[ Johnston Atoll is an unincorporated territory of the United States, administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. For nearly 70 years, the isolated atoll was under the control of the U.S. military. During that time, it was variously used as a naval refueling depot, an airbase, a testing site for nuclear and biological weapons, a secret missile base, and a site for the storage and disposal of chemical weapons and Agent Orange. Those activities left the area environmentally contaminated, and monitoring continues.]

There were glimpses of enemy soldiers sporting strange coverings on their faces, and a giant, tentacle-like foot crushing a car. Amanda Waller’s mission for Task Force X becomes abundantly clear: Destroy everything relating to a mysterious “Project Starfish.To be blunt: Starro is a giant psychic starfish from space who can shoot lasers from his tentacles. He was the first villain that the Justice League of America ever fought, way back in 1960’s The Brave and the Bold #28.Starro can fly unaided through vast interstellar distances, fire lasers from the tips of his arms, absorb energy (even that of a point blank nuclear bomb), regenerate limbs, and, in some comics, change his size to grow bigger or smaller for convenience.Starro can generate tiny duplicates with which he shares a psychic link, and once those duplicates have made contact with another sentient being, they assume total control of their mind.-AA-On 22 November 1974, British Airways Flight 870 was hijacked shortly after take-off from Dubai International Airport for London-Heathrow. The Vickers VC10 landed at Tripoli for refuelling before flying on to Tunis. The captain, Jim Futcher, returned to the aircraft to fly it knowing the hijackers were on board. A hostage, 43-year-old German banker Werner Gustav Kehl, was shot in the back. The hijackers eventually surrendered after 84 hours.September 1976, a Trident 3B on British Airways Flight 476 departed from London-Heathrow to Istanbul. It collided in mid-air with an Inex Adria DC9-31 near Zagreb.All 54 passengers and 9 crew members on the BA aircraft died. This is the only fatal accident to a British Airways aircraft since the company's formation in 1974.June 1982, British Airways Flight 9, a Boeing 747-200 registration G-BDXH, flew through a cloud of volcanic ash and dust from the eruption of Mount Galunggung. The ash and dust caused extensive damage to the aircraft, including the failure of all four engines.The crew managed to glide the plane out of the dust cloud and restart all four of its engines, although one later had to be shut down again. The volcanic ash caused the cockpit window to be scratched to such an extent that it was difficult for the pilots to see out of the plane.June 1990, British Airways Flight 5390, a BAC One-Eleven flight between Birmingham and Málaga, suffered a windscreen blowout due to the fitting of incorrect bolts the previous day. The captain sustained major injuries after being partially blown out of the aircraft, but the co-pilot landed the plane safely at Southampton Airport.

Rickrolling
"Never Gonna Give You Up" is the subject of an Internet meme known as "rickrolling" involving misleading links (commonly shortened URLs) redirecting to the song's music video. Originally started by users on 4chan, by May 2007, the practice had achieved notoriety on the Internet, and it increased in popularity after its use as a 2008 April Fools' Day joke by various media companies and websites.(Key: Decoy/ Bait and Switch)--------Never Give You Up" was a single by Jerry Butler that reached no. 20 in the Billboard chart in 1968. It was written by Gamble & Huff. Butler was also credited as co-composer. The song has also been covered by Eddie Floyd, Buddy Greco, Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers, Leonard Julien III, Rod Stewart and The Black Keys.The Black Keys recorded a version which appeared on their Brothers album which was released in 2010. Their version was also used in the Series 3 Episode 4 of [REDACTED].Greco had an album released by Scepter which Tom Murray of the Calgary Herald referred to 48 years later as "a strange and beautiful mutant of its time". The album was Let the Sunshine In. It included the songs "Let the Sunshine In", "Everybody Gets to Go to the Moon", "You're My World", "Spinning Wheel", "Never Give You Up", and "Like a Rolling StoneMedley: Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)" (commonly called "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", "The Age of Aquarius" or "Let the Sunshine In")
Among the counterpoint phrases sung by Davis are: "Oh, let it shine", "Open up your heart", "You got to feel it" and "I want you to sing along with the 5th Dimension".
The lyrics of this song were based on the astrological belief that the world would soon be entering the "Age of Aquarius", an age of love, light, and humanity, unlike the current "Age of Pisces". The exact circumstances for the change are "When the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars." This change was presumed to occur at the end of the 20th century; however, astrologers differ widely as to precisely when.__________BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----Hash: SHA1

Miroku and Sango split up from the group after Sango's faithful nekomata companion Kirara mysteriously runs off, leading them to Menōmaru's cave.Menōmaru and his female minions, Ruri and Hari, begin battling Miroku and Sango, during which Ruri copies Miroku's Wind Tunnel and Hari cursing Kirara, to follow Hari as her leader. Eventually, Menōmaru curses Kagome with a mind control shell via her forehead so that she could turn against Inuyasha.(Key: Unicorn)After the heroes are pushed away by a blast from Menōmaru and further split up, Menōmaru succeeds in accessing the demonic power of his predecessors, sealed away by Inuyasha's father, becoming a new, more powerful Hyōga, and begins to change the essence of time and space by absorbing the souls of countless people to fully merge himself with his family's demonic energy.Menōmaru's mind-control curse on Kagome possesses her, and she is forced to pursue and kill Inuyasha, who notices her wearing Kikyo's style of clothing. After realizing what Menōmaru did to her and choosing to face the controlled Kagome at the Sacred Tree, she shoots him with a sacred arrow in the same manner that Kikyo had done. Kagome regains control of herself and mourns of her actions, during which Kikyo appears and forces Kagome to return to her own time.Back in the present, Kagome walks out to see her family shrine, and the rest of Tokyo covered in snow caused by Menōmaru's curse. She goes to the tree that Inuyasha was sealed to, realizing that without a way back to Feudal Japan, that she can never see him again. She places her hand on the tree and discovers that she and Inuyasha are emotionally connected to each other through the tree and can talk to each other through thoughts. After Inuyasha pleads with her to return to the Feudal era, Kagome retrieves a piece of Kikyo's sacred arrow from the tree and shoots it into the well. She returns to the Feudal era to find Inuyasha reawakened, thanks to Shippo, Myoga and Kaede.-CC-

x-X-xLaudine Usually known as the Lady of the Fountain, she becomes the wife of the poem's protagonist.Chrétien calls her "la dame de Landuc", i.e. the noblewoman in command of the territory and castle of "Landuc", located near a supernatural fountain within the enchanted forest of Brocéliande. The lady Laudine's fountain, which magically generated a powerful storm when its water was poured into a nearby basin, was guarded by her husband, Esclados the Red, until his defeat by Yvain. After learning about his cousin Calogrenant's encounter with Esclados, in which the former was attacked and beaten for using the well to create a storm, Yvain took revenge on behalf of his kinsman by slaying Esclados in single combat. He then followed the mortally wounded warrior back to the castle, where he fell instantly in love with his victim's widow.Though distraught over her husband's death, Laudine was convinced by her vassals (especially her servant and confidante Lunete) to marry Yvain to ensure the protection of her lands.When Yvain was invited to pursue knightly exploits with Gauvain (Gawain), Laudine did not want him to go, but relented when he promised to return after a set number of days. She provided her husband with a magic ring that protected true lovers from bodily harm and warned him not to be late; but Yvain, caught up in his chivalric quests, failed to come home on the agreed upon day. Laudine had a messenger retrieve her ring and inform her absent husband that he was not allowed back. After a resultant period of madness (spent as a wild man in the woods), Yvain engaged in a new series of adventures, fighting to aid others (such as the lion that gave him his nickname) rather than gain glory for himself, and eventually proved himself to Laudine, who accepted her husband back into her castle.In the 13th-century Welsh tale of Owain, one of the Three Welsh Romances associated with the Mabinogion, the corresponding character is left unnamed, known only by her title: Lady, or Countess, of the Fountain.

Right now Starro is presumed dead, but the Justice League managed to rescue a tiny polyp of him; a baby clone of Starro. They keep him in a jar, and named him Jarro.
Sins of Sinister
After Emma Frost revealed that Moira MacTaggert, long presumed dead, had in fact survived, and been a mutant with the ability to reset the timeline upon her death, Sinister immediately procured a sample of her DNA to exploit her abilities. He created the Moira Engine, a set of Moira-clones. When he activated a clone's X-Gene, it created a "save point" in the timeline. If events ever went against Sinister's wishes, he only needed to upload his knowledge into the clone before killing it, reseting the timeline and allowing him to begin fresh with added knowledgeSinister used the Moira engine to launch an ambitious plan. Having attempted to corrupt Krakoa since the start by inserting codes of his own DNA in that of every mutant, he had planned that every resurrected mutant would become a modified clone of himself. However, Hope Summers had subconsciously corrected this flaw. In order to move his schemes to the next level, he realized that he needed to assassinate Hope and several other key council members.After many attempts, requiring several Moira-resets, he succeeded, beyond his wildest dreams. In the timeline that followed, Sinister's proxies on the Quiet Council would end up conquering the planet, turning everyone into a Sinister. However, they would undo his control imprints, granting them free will.(Key: The Moth)With his Moira Engine stolen, Sinister was unable to reset the timeline, causing it to proceed for 1000 years, as the entire galaxy devolved into a den of horrors. This timeline's Mr. Sinister managed to regain access to his lab after 1000 years, allowing him to sacrifice every mutant in the galaxy and ascend to Dominionhood. However, he found that his way was barred. Another of his sibling-clones had already ascended into Dominionhood in a previous timeline and now blocked his way.As the timeline was reset, Sinister began the information download, only for Moira to interfere. Having been with him in the now-destroyed timeline at the end, she had used the Reliquary Perilous to warn Mother Righteous of what had transpired, and also destroyed the Moira Engine before cloning Rasputin IV, a servant of Sinister whom he had betrayed in the previous timeline.Raputin captured Sinister and he was brought before the Quiet Council, who sentenced him to exile in the Pit. As he was being snatched into the Pit, a despondent Sinister begged the Council not to exile him, telling them that he was nothing, that one of the other Sinisters had already succeeded in creating a Dominion and had thus already won. He begged Destiny to find a way to stop them before he was snatched away.-BB-
Mother Righteous is one of the four clones created by the original Nathaniel Essex. Unlike the other three individuals Mister Sinister, Doctor Stasis, and Orbis Stellaris, who are clones of Essex himself, she was designed after his late wife Rebecca.[NOTE: A variant of Rebecca Tourminet, a school vice-principal from Ohio, was taken from the "Sacred Timeline" by the Time Variance Authority. Robbed of her memories, Rebecca was absorbed into the ranks of the TVA, becoming Hunter A-23.

In order to combat the eventual ascension of a machine dominion, each Essex variant tackled the problem through a different approach. Mother Righteous specialized in magical studies and the collection of artifacts, becoming a mysterious and mischievous dealmaker. She is marked with the suit of Hearts on her forehead.Mother Righteous became aware of her true nature from the beginning and eventually discovered that the memories of her creation were false. Mother Righteous became a formidable sorceress with a connection to the Astral Plane. As a master manipulator, she orchestrated events by making deals of power in exchange for loyalty and gratitude. Over the ensuing decades, besides becoming aware of the three other Essex variants, Mother Righteous observed the dormant mutant Apocalypse, analyzed the Scarlet Witch's newborn children, studied the vile Darkhold, and interacted with Belasco, the ruler of Limbo, about his plans.She used her powers to have Blindfold show Legion his glorious potential future. In return, she asked only for gratitude. Legion rejected the gift, and Mother Righteous turned her attention to Banshee,[8] who accepted a deal to bond himself with the Spirit of Variance, becoming "Vox Ignis", her loyal herald.-BB-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----Hash: SHA1

Probable first performance of William Shakespeare's plays Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream in London.- The play is set in Athens, and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue.x-C-xCell (Seru) is the ultimate creation of Dr. Gero, designed via cell recombination using the genetics of the greatest fighters that the remote tracking device could find on Earth. The result was a "perfect warrior", possessing numerous favorable genetic traits and special abilities from Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza and King Cold.He was one of the few Red Ribbon Androids not directly completed by Dr. Gero, instead being completed by Dr. Gero's Supercomputer in an alternate timeline. As a being with several transformations, Cell's appearance varies depending on the form he is in. In his larval form, Cell resembles a large four-legged cicada with long, V-shaped horns on its head and a face similar to that of the remote tracking device.In Semi-Perfect form, obtained after absorbing '17, Cell's wings disappear, and he becomes more humanoid and muscular in appearance. He has the same coloring from his Imperfect form, but his lower arms and legs are now colored black and his tail is now orange and black. His horns now point upward and form a crown shape with the black section on his forehead becoming ball-like, and his face, though possessing a comically large-lipped mouth and lacking a nose, has taken the general shape of a human face. Cell becomes fully humanoid in his Perfect form gained from absorbing '18, complete with a normal nose and mouth. His irises become pink (they stay red in the manga). His tail has been completely retracted, only the stinger remaining. This form is somewhat shorter and lighter than the previous one, being 7 feet in height.His wings have grown back, but he retains the shoe-like feet and upward-pointing horns with the black ball-like section from Semi-Perfect form. Purple stripes now run down each side of his face, similar to those of Frieza in his first three forms. He now sports light green with dark green spots on his body with the upper torso sporting black sections on the chest and shoulders.A lot of people consider Cell to be android #21, because he's an artificial human created by Gero who appeared after #20.Vomi (Bomi) is the wife of Dr. Gero, mother of Gevo, and grandmother of Dr. Hedo. She is the template for Android 21, who debuted before her in Dragon Ball FighterZ. She herself debuts in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, where she works for Capsule Corporation.She appears as the main antagonist of Dragon Ball FighterZ when in her evil persona. Her intellect rivals that of Dr. Gero, though she may be even smarter than he was.Android 21 is described as a tall, curvaceous scientist with glasses and long bushy auburn hair. She has a gold ring on her left middle finger, and black nails. She wears a pair of hoop earrings, a sleeveless, short blue and red checker pattern high-neck minidress with opaque black tights, matching black detached arm sleeves, and blue (left foot) and red (right foot) ankle heel boots with gold tips. She also usually wears a white lab coat with her outfit. Her eyes are similar to that of Dr. Gero's Androids, such as Android 18.In her true form, Android 21 keeps her curvy body, her skin turns pink, her hair becomes white with a pink tint, her ears become pointed, her eyes changing depending on if her evil half takes over, and she gains a tail.Her attire changes to a black tube top, keeping the black arm sleeves with gold bracelets at the ends, her boots become black, and also gaining white baggy pants. It's noted that she most resembles a Majin in this form. Her eyes slightly vary depending on which moral alignment she represents. In her good representation, she retains the eyes from her human form. In her evil representation, her eyes instead are more similar overall to that of a Majin.Her appearance in her true form is the result of her having all of the traits of the Z Fighters, Frieza, Cell and Majin Buu rolled into one. Android 21 reveals in a private talk with the player that while she may have the appearance of an adult, she is actually less than ten years old, and regrets not having an adolescence, finding it awkward when small children call her "ma'am".Due to her biology, Android 21 has a natural, compulsive instinct to feed (which grew out of control due to cells in her body going berserk). Like Majin Buu, she prefers sweets and confectioneries, her favorite being macarons. However, she has no control over her hunger and constantly fights to keep herself from turning others into treats and devouring them.Her hunger is so great and painful that it has led to Android 21's psyche being damaged and manifesting a split personality. The longer she goes without feeding, the more the evil side of her gains control. When her true persona is in control she acts like a kind and motherly woman who was concerned about Android 18 and agreed to help her. When her evil persona is in control, however, she becomes a sadistic and power-hungry sociopath, wanting to "devour" all the powerful fighters, drawing to the point of near insanity. Though Android 21's good side is aware of the fact that her human template was the mother of Android 16's template, which causes her to develop mother-like affection for him, she admits she has little to no memory of her former life as a human, though she enjoys thinking about what her template's name and life might have been like. In contrast, her evil side cares nothing for Android 16 and believes that Androids have no use for things like family and loved ones as she orders Android 18 to attack her husband Krillin. Additionally, she only values Dr. Gero for his labs and research.Though she is focused primarily on feeding, the evil side of Android 21's personality does not dismiss the concept of seeking galactic conquest, although that goal remains secondary to satisfying her hunger. Unlike her good side, the evil 21 cares only about herself and possesses a selfish and bratty personality.Like Cell, her power causes her to view other beings as beneath her; additionally, though, she dismisses all other beings as little more than food to make her stronger. She is responsible for creating evil clones of the Z Fighters as well as Nappa, the Ginyu Force, Frieza, Cell (all of whom she resurrected with the Namekian Dragon Balls), and Kid Buu; these clones exist only as a source of food to sustain her and her hunger, despite finding their taste to be unsatisfactory.She only allows the Z Fighters, resurrected villains, and Androids to survive and grow stronger in order to further her goal of consuming them.After separating from her good half, the evil 21 mocked her good half's refusal to feed on others to increase her power and was certain that she was a hypocrite who would eventually give into her hunger and feed on her allies. However, the good 21 was able to link with the human soul that had been linked to Android 18 which allowed her to maintain control over herself and oppose her evil half without succumbing to her hunger. At some point, 21 recalled the memory of her - or her template - having a son. When she realized that she wanted so badly to see him and have him by her side, she repaired Android 16 (the android whose design was modeled after her son) later on and explained that she wanted to treat him like family.x-U-x"Every 23rd spring for 23 days..." you might just find out that fact is stranger than fiction Going Places is a 1938 American musical comedy film directed by Ray Enright.

Two earlier films, both entitled The Hottentot (1929) and The Hottentot (1922 silent version), were based on the same source.u--uSarah Baartman ( c.1789– 29 December 1815)Her birth name is unknown, but is thought by some to have been Ssehura, supposedly the closest to her given name. Saartjie is the diminutive form of Sarah; in Cape Dutch the use of the diminutive form commonly indicated familiarity, endearment or contempt.Baartman spent her childhood and teenage years on Dutch European farms. She went through puberty rites, and kept the small tortoise shell necklace, most likely her mother's, until her death in France.Her first name is the Cape Dutch form for "Sarah" which marked her as a colonialist's servant. "Saartje" the diminutive, was also a sign of affection. Encoded in her first name were the tensions of affection and exploitation. Her surname literally means "bearded man" in Dutch. It also means uncivilized, uncouth, barbarous, savage. Saartjie Baartman – the savage servant.After much legal wrangling and debates in the French National Assembly, France acceded to the request on 6 March 2002. Her remains were repatriated to her homeland, the Gamtoos Valley, on 6 May 2002, and they were buried on 9 August 2002 on Vergaderingskop.u--uHMS Cerberus was a 32-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She served in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars in the Channel, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and even briefly in the Baltic against the Russians. She participated in one boat action that won for her crew a clasp to the Naval General Service Medal (NGSM). She also captured many privateers and merchant vessels. Her biggest battle was the Battle of Lissa, which won for her crew another clasp to the NGSM. She was sold in 1814.On 29 March 1795 she was sailing with Santa Margarita when the two engaged and captured the 18-gun Jean Bart in the English Channel. The Royal Navy subsequently took the Jean Bart into service as Arab.Among the ships that shared in the prize money for the recapture of the ship Caldicot Castle and Jean Bart on 28 and 30 March were Astraea, London, Colossus, Robust, Hannibal, Valiant, Thalia, Cerberus and Santa Margarita.On 20 October, Latona, Circe, Galatea, Cerberus, Cygnet, Pert, and Hart shared in the capture of the Danish schooner Danske Patriot.Cerberus was recommissioned in March 1809 under the command of Captain Henry Whitby. She then sailed to the Baltic, where she participated in the Anglo-Russian WarThus on 25 July 17 boats from a British squadron, consisting of Cerberus, Princess Caroline, Minotaur and Prometheus attacked a flotilla of four enemy gunboats and a brig off Aspö Head near Fredrickshamn (present-day Hamina, Finland), in the Grand Duchy of Finland, Russia.u--uHMS Minotaur was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy launched on 6 November 1793 at Woolwich. She was named after the mythological bull-headed monster of Crete. She fought in three major battles – Nile, Trafalgar, and Copenhagen (1807) – before she was wrecked, with heavy loss of life, in December 1810.Minotaur fought at the battle of the Nile in 1798, engaging the Aquilon with HMS Theseus and forcing her surrender. In the battle Minotaur lost 23 men dead and 64 wounded.May 1800, Minotaur served as the flagship of Vice-Admiral Lord Keith at the siege of Genoa. The naval squadron consisted of Minotaur, Phoenix, Mondovi, Entreprenante, and the tender Victoire.On 28 May 1803 Minotaur, in company with Thunderer, and later joined by Albion, captured the French frigate Franchise. Franchise was 33 days out of Port-au-Prince, and was pierced for twenty-eight 12-pounder guns on her main deck and sixteen 9-pounders on her quarterdeck and forecastle, ten of which were in her hold. She had a crew of 187 men under the command of Captain Jurien.Minotaur, under Captain Charles John Moore Mansfield, participated in the Battle of Trafalgar. There she was instrumental in capturing the Spanish ship Neptuno, although Neptuno's crew recaptured her in the storm that followed the battle.Then on 25 July, during the Anglo-Russian War, 17 boats from a British squadron under the command of Captain Charles Pater, consisting of Minotaur, Princess Caroline, Cerberus and Prometheus, attacked a flotilla of four Russian gunboats and a brig off Aspö Head near Fredrickshamn in the Grand Duchy of Finland, Russia (present-day Hamina, Finland).Captain Forrest of Prometheus commanded the boats and succeeded in capturing gunboats Nos. 62, 65, and 66, and the transport brig No. 11. The action was sanguinary in that the British lost 19 men killed and 51 wounded, and the Russians lost 28 men killed and 59 wounded. Minotaur alone lost eight men killed and had 30 wounded, of whom four died of their wounds on the next day or so. In 1847 the Admiralty issued the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "25 July Boat Service 1809" to surviving claimants from the action. Cerberus then moved to the Mediterranean in 1810.u--u

Jehu : meaning "Yahu is He"
YēhūʾYa'úa Iehu
The tenth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel since Jeroboam I, noted for exterminating the house of Ahab.
He was the son of Jehoshaphat, grandson of Nimshi, and possibly great-grandson of Omri, although the latter notion is not supported by the biblical text. His reign lasted 28 years.
(THINK: 5 days was added to the calendar to take us from a 360 day count to a 365 day count. 28 + 5 is 33. 33 being the supposed age of christ when he died)
The reign of Jehu's predecessor, Jehoram, was marked by the Battle of Ramoth-Gilead against the army of the Arameans. Jehoram was wounded and returned to Jezreel to recover. He was attended by Ahaziah, king of Judah, who was also his nephew, son of his sister Athaliah.
Meanwhile, according to the writer of the Books of Kings, the prophet Elisha ordered one of his students to go to Ramoth-Gilead and separate Jehu, a military commander at the time, from his companions.
There, he was to anoint Jehu as king in an inner chamber and explain to him that he was to act as an agent of divine judgment against the house of Ahab. The student followed these instructions, and upon completion he ran away. Jehu initially dismissed the student as a "madman", but nonetheless told his companions about his anointing. His companions later enthusiastically blew their trumpets and proclaimed him their king.
Other than Jehu's bloody seizure of power and tolerance for the golden calves at Dan and Bethel, which was criticized as a "heretical" interpretation of Yahwism, little else is known of his reign. He was hard pressed by Hazael, king of the Arameans, who defeated his armies "throughout all of the territories of Israel" beyond the Jordan River, in the lands of Gilead, Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh.
This suggests that Jehu offered tribute to Shalmaneser III, as depicted on his Black Obelisk, in order to gain a powerful ally against the Arameans. Bit-Khumri was used by Tiglath-Pileser III for the non-Omride kings Pekah (733) & Hoshea (732), hence House/Land/Kingdom of Omri could apply to later Israelite kings not necessarily descended from Omri.
According to others, this description should be taken very literally, as in this period Assyrians were very closely following the events in this area, with control slipping in later years.
The destruction of the house of Ahab is commended by the author of 2 Kings as a form of divine punishment. Yahweh rewards Jehu for being a willing executor of divine judgment by allowing four generations of kings to sit on the throne of Israel.
Jehu and his descendants Jehoahaz, Jehoash, Jeroboam II, and Zachariah ruled Israel for 102 years. Nonetheless, according to the Book of Hosea, God punished the House of Jehu through the hands of the Assyrians for Jehu's massacre at Jezreel, and some Biblical commentators reasoned that this was because Jehu's motives may not have been entirely pure in his massacre.
With a chosen band, Jehu planned his conspiracy against King Jehoram and secretly entered Jezreel. Jehoram tried to flee, but Jehu shot an arrow that pierced his heart. Jehu later threw his body on Naboth's vineyard, to avenge Naboth, whom Jehoram's father and mother had murdered.
King Ahaziah fled after seeing Jehoram's death but Jehu wounded him. Ahaziah fled to Megiddo, where he died.
Jehu proceeded to enter the premises of the palace at Jezreel. Jezebel watched him with contempt from the palace window and mockingly compared him to King Zimri. Jehu later commanded Jezebel's eunuchs to throw her out of the palace window. They obeyed his commands and Jezebel was instantly killed.
Jehu trampled over her body, and when he decided later to arrange a proper burial due to her royal descent, only her skull, hands and feet remained. The rest of her body had been eaten by dogs.

Jezebel : Jezebel is the Anglicized transliteration of the Hebrew אִיזֶבֶל ʾIzeḇel. The Oxford Guide to People & Places of the Bible states that the name is "best understood as meaning 'Where is the Lord?'" ( romanized: ʾēze baʿal)
What is the biblical meaning of Isabel?
Meaning:Pledged to God, God is perfection, God is my oath.]
As the daughter of Ithobaal I, she was also the sister of Baal-Eser II. Jezebel eventually married King Ahab of Samaria, the northern kingdom of Israel.Near Eastern scholar Charles R. Krahmalkov proposed that Psalm 45 records the wedding ceremony of Ahab and Jezebel, but other scholars cast doubt on this association.
This marriage was the culmination of the friendly relations existing between Israel and Phoenicia during Omri's reign, and possibly cemented important political designs of Ahab. Jezebel, like the foreign wives of Solomon, required facilities for carrying on her form of worship, so Ahab made a Baalist altar in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
Geoffrey Bromiley points out that it was Phoenician practice to install a royal woman as a priestess of Astarte, thus she would have a more active role in temple and palace relations than was customary in the Hebrew monarchy.
Her coronation as queen upset the balance of power between Yahwism and Baalism. As queen, Jezebel institutionalized Baalism and suppressed the worship of other gods through brutal means.Obadiah, a pro-Yahwist figure in Ahab's royal court, secretly protected the survivors of these purges in a cave.
Some commentators observe that the Bible implicitly approves of Yahwist altars outside of Jerusalem because Jezebel's desecration of these altars in Samaria were decried as 'sins'.
As a result, Elijah invited Jezebel's prophets of Baal and Asherah to a challenge at Mount Carmel. The challenge was to see which god, Yahweh or Baal, would burn a bull sacrifice on an altar. Jezebel's prophets failed to summon Baal in burning the bull sacrifice, despite their cries and cutting themselves.
Elijah, however, succeeded when he summoned Yahweh, impressing the Israelites. He then ordered the people to seize and kill the prophets of Baal and Asherah at the Kishon River. Jezebel retaliated by vowing to kill Elijah the next day, even embracing divine judgment on herself if she failed to do so. Elijah fled to Mount Horeb, where he mourned the apostasy of Israel.
x-X-x
Anticipating his arrival, Jezebel put on make-up and a formal wig with adornments and looked out of a window and taunted him. Bromiley says that it should be looked at less as an attempt at seduction and more as the public defiance of the queen mother, invested with the authority of the royal house and cult to confront a rebellious commander.
In his two-volume Guide to the Bible (1967 and 1969), Isaac Asimov describes Jezebel's last act: dressing in all her finery, make-up, and jewelry, as deliberately symbolic, indicating her dignity, royal status, and determination to go out of this life as a queen.
Jehu, however, remained unfazed and ordered Jezebel's eunuch servants to throw her from the window. Her blood splattered on the wall and horses, and Jehu's horse trampled her corpse. He entered the palace where, after he ate and drank, he ordered Jezebel's body to be taken for burial. However, only her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands remained—her flesh had been eaten by stray dogs, just as the prophet Elijah had prophesied.
[NOTE: The only parts of the queen remaining were those used for labor. Stray dogs ate the rest.

The dogs of the Canaanite, Sirius, consumed her body and thereby took her powers.

(Jehu proceeded to enter the premises of the palace at Jezreel. Jezebel watched him with contempt from the palace window and mockingly compared him to King Zimri.)
Zimri ( Zīmrī, lit. "praiseworthy", also transliterated as Zambri due to a Greek corruption of Omri), was the fifth king of Israel. His reign lasted only seven days.
Zimri was the only monarch born from the Tribe of Simeon. Reportedly, this Tribe never received a blessing from Moses, and did not have an impact in the royal successions of Israel.
It is suggested that Zimri was a descendant of Zerah. Zerah is a character in the Book of Genesis, one of the twin sons of Judah and Tamar. Zerah was the twin brother Perez, and one of the founding members of the Tribe of Judah.
(Remember what I said about the figures of Tamar, Tomyris, and Tamara : the Palm? Do you see the link between Zerah and Sherah?)

Now master of Jezreel, Jehu wrote to command the chief men in Samaria to hunt down and kill all the royal princes. They did so, and the next day they piled the 70 heads in two heaps outside the city gate, as Jehu commanded. Ahab's entire family was slain.
Shortly afterward, Jehu encountered the 42 "brothers of Ahaziah" (since the brothers of Ahaziah had been taken away and probably killed by the Philistines, these must have been relatives of Ahaziah in a broader sense, like nephews and cousins) at "Beth-eked of the shepherds". They told Jehu they were visiting the royal family. Jehu killed them all at "the pit of Beth-eked".
After Jehu's slaughter of the Omrides, he met Jehonadab the Rechabite and convinced him that he was pro-Yahwist. Jehonadab quickly allied with him, and they entered the capital together. In control of Samaria, he invited the worshippers of Baal to a ceremony, then trapped and killed them. He then destroyed their idols and temple, and turned the temple into a latrine.

Shalmaneser III (Šulmānu-ašarēdu, "the god Shulmanu is pre-eminent") was king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from the death of his father Ashurnasirpal II in 859 BC to his own death in 824 BC.
(Doesn't Shalmaneser look alot like Solomon?)
His long reign was a constant series of campaigns against the eastern tribes, the Babylonians, the nations of Mesopotamia, Syria, as well as Kizzuwadna and Urartu. His armies penetrated to Lake Van and the Taurus Mountains; the Neo-Hittites of Carchemish were compelled to pay tribute, and the kingdoms of Hamath and Aram Damascus were subdued. It is in the annals of Shalmaneser III from the 850s BC that the Arabs and Chaldeans first appear in recorded history.
In 853 BC, a coalition was formed by eleven states, mainly by Hadadezer, King of Aram-Damascus; Irhuleni, king of Hamath; Ahab, king of Northern Israel; Gindibu, king of the Arabs; and some other rulers who fought the Assyrian king at the Battle of Qarqar. The result of the battle was not decisive, and Shalmaneser III had to fight his enemies several times again in the coming years, which eventually resulted in the occupation of the Levant, Jordan, and the Syrian Desert by the Assyrian Empire.
In 851 BC, following a rebellion in Babylon, Shalmaneser led a campaign against Marduk-bēl-ušate, younger brother of the king, Marduk-zakir-shumi I, who was an ally of Shalmaneser. In the second year of the campaign, Marduk-bēl-ušate was forced to retreat and was killed. A record of these events was made on the Black Obelisk.
(Both the son of the Mr and the daughter of the house of the Bell were opposed?)
In 841 BC, Shalmaneser campaigned against Hadadezer's successor Hazael, forcing him to take refuge within the walls of his capital.
While Shalmaneser was unable to capture Damascus, he devastated its territory, and Jehu of Israel (whose ambassadors are represented on the Black Obelisk now in the British Museum), together with the Phoenician cities, prudently sent tribute to him in perhaps 841 BC. Babylonia had already been conquered, including the areas occupied by migrant Chaldaean, Sutean and Aramean tribes, and the Babylonian king had been put to death.
His reign is significant to Biblical studies because two of his monuments name rulers from the Hebrew Bible. The Black Obelisk names Jehu son of Omri (although Jehu was misidentified as a son of Omri). The Kurkh Monolith names king Ahab, in reference to the Battle of Qarqar.
He had built a palace at Kalhu (Biblical Calah, modern Nimrud), and left several editions of the royal annals recording his military campaigns, the last of which is engraved on the Black Obelisk from Calah.The Black Obelisk is a significant artifact from his reign. It is a black limestone, bas-relief sculpture from Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), in northern Iraq.
It is the most complete Assyrian obelisk yet discovered, and is historically significant because it displays the earliest ancient depiction of an Israelite.
On the top and the bottom of the reliefs there is a long cuneiform inscription recording the annals of Shalmaneser III. It lists the military campaigns which the king and his commander-in-chief headed every year, until the thirty-first year of reign. Some features might suggest that the work had been commissioned by the commander-in-chief, Dayyan-Ashur.
The second register from the top includes the earliest surviving picture of an Israelite: the Biblical Jehu, king of Israel. Jehu severed Israel's alliances with Phoenicia and Judah, and became subject to Assyria. It describes how Jehu brought or sent his tribute in or around 841 BC.
It is one of two complete Neo-Assyrian obelisks yet discovered, the other one being the much earlier White Obelisk of Ashurnasirpal I, and is historically significant because it is thought to display the earliest ancient depiction of a biblical figure – Jehu, King of Israel.
The traditional identification of "Yaw" as Jehu has been questioned by some scholars, who proposed that the inscription refers to another king, Jehoram of Israel. Its reference to Parsua is also the first known reference to the Persians.
[NOTE: This whole holy war only exists based on the premise of who are the "Jehu's " - the chosen people of the one who came with the sword]

According to the story, a united human race speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar (שִׁנְעָר; Σενναάρ). There they agree to build a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Yahweh, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world.
Some modern scholars have associated the Tower of Babel with known structures, notably Etemenanki, a ziggurat dedicated to the Mesopotamian god Marduk in Babylon. While the archaeological record is incompatible with this identification, many scholars believe that the biblical story was inspired by Etemenanki. A Sumerian story with some similar elements is told in Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta.
The phrase "Tower of Babel" does not appear in the Bible; it is always "the city and the tower" (אֶת-הָעִיר וְאֶת-הַמִּגְדָּל) or just "the city" (הָעִיר).
The original derivation of the name Babel (also the Hebrew name for Babylon) is uncertain. The native, Akkadian name of the city was Bāb-ilim, meaning "gate of God".
However, that form and interpretation itself are now usually thought to be the result of an Akkadian folk etymology applied to an earlier form of the name, Babilla, of unknown meaning and probably non-Semitic origin. According to the Bible, the city received the name "Babel" from the Hebrew verb בָּלַל (bālal), meaning to jumble or to confuse
1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
2 And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and fire them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone and bitumen for mortar.
4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
5 The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built.
And the LORD said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech."
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
9 Therefore it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused (balal) the language of all the earth, and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
— Genesis 11:1–9
Those who gave counsel to build the tower, for they whom thou seest drove forth multitudes of both men and women, to make bricks; among whom, a woman making bricks was not allowed to be released in the hour of child-birth, but brought forth while she was making bricks, and carried her child in her apron, and continued to make bricks.
And the Lord appeared to them and confused their speech, when they had built the tower to the height of four hundred and sixty-three cubits. And they took a gimlet, and sought to pierce the heavens, saying, Let us see (whether) the heaven is made of clay, or of brass, or of iron.
When God saw this He did not permit them, but smote them with blindness and confusion of speech, and rendered them as thou seest. (Greek Apocalypse of Baruch, 3:5–8)

The confusion of tongues (confusio linguarum) is the origin myth for the fragmentation of human languages described in Genesis 11:1-9, as a result of the construction of the Tower of Babel. Prior to this event, humanity was stated to speak a single language.
During the Middle Ages, the Hebrew language was widely considered the language used by God to address Adam in Paradise, and by Adam as lawgiver (the Adamic language) by various Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholastics.

There is a Sumerian myth similar to that of the Tower of Babel, called Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta, where Enmerkar of Uruk is building a massive ziggurat in Eridu and demands a tribute of precious materials from Aratta for its construction, at one point reciting an incantation imploring the god Enki to restore (or in Kramer's translation, to disrupt) the linguistic unity of the inhabited regions—named as Shubur, Hamazi, Sumer, Uri-ki (Akkad), and the Martu land, "the whole universe, the well-guarded people—may they all address Enlil together in a single language."
In addition, a further Assyrian myth, dating from the 8th century BC during the Neo-Assyrian Empire (911–605 BC), bears a number of similarities to the later written biblical story
---------The Dominican friar Diego Durán (1537–1588) reported hearing an account about the pyramid from a hundred-year-old priest at Cholula, shortly after the conquest of the Aztec Empire. He wrote that he was told when the light of the Sun first appeared upon the land, giants appeared and set off in search of the Sun. Not finding it, they built a tower to reach the sky.
An angered God of the Heavens called upon the inhabitants of the sky, who destroyed the tower and scattered its inhabitants. The story was not related to either a flood or the confusion of languages, although Frazer connects its construction and the scattering of the giants with the Tower of Babel.
Another story, attributed by the native historian Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxóchitl (c. 1565–1648) to the ancient Toltecs, states that after men had multiplied following a great deluge, they erected a tall zacuali or tower, to preserve themselves in the event of a second deluge. However, their languages were confounded and they went to separate parts of the Earth.
---------
Still another story, attributed to the Tohono O'odham people, holds that Montezuma escaped a great flood, then became wicked and attempted to build a house reaching to heaven, but the Great Spirit destroyed it with thunderbolts.---------
Scottish social anthropologist Sir James George Frazer documented similarities between Old Testament stories, such as the Flood, and indigenous legends around the world.
He identified Livingston's account with a tale found in Lozi mythology, wherein the wicked men build a tower of masts to pursue the Creator-God, Nyambe, who has fled to Heaven on a spider-web, but the men perish when the masts collapse.
He further relates similar tales of the Ashanti that substitute a pile of porridge pestles for the masts. Frazer moreover cites such legends found among the Kongo people, as well as in Tanzania, where the men stack poles or trees in a failed attempt to reach the Moon.
He further cited the Karbi and Kuki people of Assam as having a similar story. The traditions of the Karen people of Myanmar, which Frazer considered to show clear 'Abrahamic' influence, also relate that their ancestors migrated there following the abandonment of a great pagoda in the land of the Karenni 30 generations from Adam, when the languages were confused and the Karen separated from the Karenni. He notes yet another version current in the Admiralty Islands, where mankind's languages are confused following a failed attempt to build houses reaching to heaven.
---------
In Greek mythology, much of which was adopted by the Romans, there is a myth referred to as the Gigantomachy, the battle fought between the Giants and the Olympian gods for supremacy of the cosmos. In Ovid's telling of the myth, the Giants attempt to reach the gods in heaven by stacking mountains, but are repelled by Jupiter's thunderbolts. A.S. Kline translates Ovid's Metamorphoses 1.151–155 as:
"Rendering the heights of heaven no safer than the earth, they say the giants attempted to take the Celestial kingdom, piling mountains up to the distant stars. Then the all-powerful father of the gods hurled his bolt of lightning, fractured Olympus and threw Mount Pelion down from Ossa below."
There have also been a number of traditions around the world that describe a divine confusion of the one original language into several, albeit without any tower. Aside from the Ancient Greek myth that Hermes confused the languages, causing Zeus to give his throne to Phoroneus, Frazer specifically mentions such accounts among the Wasania of Kenya, the Kacha Naga people of Assam, the inhabitants of Encounter Bay in Australia, the Maidu of California, the Tlingit of Alaska, and the K'iche' Maya of Guatemala.

Phoroneus ( means 'bringer of a price') - culture-hero of the Argolid
- fire-bringer
- law giver
- primordial king of Argos
Hyginus' genealogy expresses the position of Phoroneus as one of the primordial men, whose local identities differed in the various regions of Greece, and who had for a mother the essential spirit of the very earth of Argos herself, Argia.
He was the primordial king in the Peloponnesus, authorized by Zeus: "Formerly Zeus himself had ruled over men, but Hermes created a confusion of human speech, which spoiled Zeus' pleasure in this Rule". Phoroneus introduced both the worship of Hera and the use of fire and the forge.
Poseidon and Hera had vied for the Argive when the primeval waters had receded, Phoroneus "was the first to gather the people together into a community; for they had up to then been living as scattered and lonesome families".
Phoroneus' successor was Argus, who was Niobe's son, either by Zeus or Phoroneus himself. He was also the father of Apis, who may have also ruled Argos (according to Tatiānus).
He was worshipped in Argos with an eternal fire that was shown to Pausanias in the 2nd century CE, and funeral sacrifices were offered to him at his tomb-sanctuary.He is also credited as the founder of law.

nce the 'green man' allowed humans to have free will, the bell tone that pervades the human subconscious loosened its reigns. Subsequently marriage and families were introduced as were wars over territories for settlements which catalyzed the invention of weapons.
Now you might understand why he was succeeded by Argus - the hound of Odysseus, the watchman of Io and the guard of Hera.
He sires Apis - king of Argos, sacred bull, seer, healer, son of Apollo. )

This is the saga of Typhon...
Typhon was the offspring of Gaia, the Earth, and Tartarus, the deep abyss used as a dungeon of torment.
Typhon often appears as an enormous serpentine giant with hundreds of fire-spewing dragon heads, massive wings, and eyes that shoot flames.
When Typhon began his ascent to Mount Olympus, his mere presence caused panic among the gods. Many of them, including Hera, Demeter, and even Apollo, disguised themselves as animals and fled in terror. But Zeus, the king of the gods, stood firm, determined to defend his realm.
What ensued was a cataclysmic battle. Typhon hurled mountains at Zeus while the skies echoed with roars and thunderbolts. The two titans clashed with such force that the very fabric of the cosmos trembled
However, despite Zeus's immense power, Typhon managed to briefly best him, tearing out Zeus's sinews and rendering him helpless. He hid Zeus in a cave, planning to use him as a perpetual feast.
All hope was not lost. Hermes, the cunning messenger god, and Aegipan, a Pan-like deity, managed to stealthily enter the cave where Zeus was held.
They retrieved his sinews and restored him to full strength.
Re-energized and furious, Zeus mounted a swift counterattack. He pursued Typhon, unleashing his mighty thunderbolts.
The final confrontation occurred at Mount Casius, where Zeus, with a barrage of relentless thunderbolts, managed to subdue and trap Typhon beneath Mount Etna
OR
One source has Typhon as the son of Hera alone, while another makes Typhon the offspring of Cronus. Typhon and his mate Echidna were the progenitors of many famous monsters.
Hera, angry at Zeus for having given birth to Athena by himself, prayed to Gaia, Uranus, and the Titans, to give her a son stronger than Zeus, then slapped the ground and became pregnant. Hera gave the infant Typhon to the serpent Python to raise, and Typhon grew up to become a great bane to mortals.
Strength was with his hands in all that he did and the feet of the strong god were untiring. From his shoulders grew a hundred heads of a snake, a fearful dragon, with dark, flickering tongues, and from under the brows of his eyes in his marvelous heads flashed fire, and fire burned from his heads as he glared.
And there were voices in all his dreadful heads which uttered every kind of sound unspeakable; for at one time they made sounds such that the gods understood, but at another, the noise of a bull bellowing aloud in proud ungovernable fury; and at another, the sound of a lion, relentless of heart; and at another, sounds like whelps, wonderful to hear; and again, at another, he would hiss, so that the high mountains re-echoed.
Following Hesiod and others, Nonnus gives Typhon many heads (though untotaled), but in addition to snake heads, Nonnus also gives Typhon many other animal heads, including leopards, lions, bulls, boars, bears, cattle, wolves, and dogs, which combine to make 'the cries of all wild beasts together', and a "babel of screaming sounds".
Nonnus also gives Typhon "legions of arms innumerable", and where Nicander had only said that Typhon had "many" hands, and Ovid had given Typhon a hundred hands, Nonnus gives Typhon two hundred.
According to Hesiod's
Theogony
, Typhon "was joined in love" to Echidna, a monstrous half-woman and half-snake, who bore Typhon "fierce offspring".
First, according to Hesiod, there was Orthrus, the two-headed dog who guarded the Cattle of Geryon, second Cerberus, the multiheaded dog who guarded the gates of Hades, and third the Lernaean Hydra, the many-headed serpent who, when one of its heads was cut off, grew two more.
The
Theogony
next mentions an ambiguous "she", which might refer to Echidna, as the mother of the Chimera (a fire-breathing beast that was part lion, part goat, and had a snake-headed tail) with Typhon then being the father.
Later authors mostly retain these offspring of Typhon by Echidna, while adding others. Apollodorus, in addition to naming as their offspring Orthrus, the Chimera (citing Hesiod as his source) the Caucasian Eagle, Ladon, and the Sphinx, also adds the Nemean lion (no mother is given), and the Crommyonian Sow, killed by the hero Theseus (unmentioned by Hesiod
).

When Typhon began his ascent to Mount Olympus, his mere presence caused panic among the gods. Many of them, including Hera, Demeter, and even Apollo, disguised themselves as animals and fled in terror.
Now I know what you're going to say...But wait! That contradicts with -" Hera, angry at Zeus for having given birth to Athena by himself, prayed to Gaia, Uranus, and the Titans, to give her a son stronger than Zeus, then slapped the ground and became pregnant." And yet according to the story Athena was either an owl herself or a bird goddess in general. In the third book of the Odyssey, she takes the form of a sea-eagle. Proponents of this view argue that she dropped her prophylactic owl mask before she lost her wings. "Athena, by the time she appears in art," Jane Ellen Harrison remarks, "has completely shed her animal form, has reduced the shapes she once wore of snake and bird to attributes, but occasionally in black-figure vase-paintings she still appears with wings."By association she became Inanna. And as she becomes Inanna, she takes on the form of Hathor.Hathor who is the eye of Ra or Horus depending on the story. Find correlation in the notion that Athena sprung from Zeus's forehead, or the spot of his third eye.All this to say, the goddess was/ is PISSED that she must once again search for a shard of herself amongst the pantheon. And let's not forget that part of 'Thena's story was the whole fiasco that was the Trojan war.I told you Helen, Nehal, Alena....you're talking about the same hundred-headed hydra.-----

Mahadevi also referred to as Adi Parashakti, Mahamaya and Devi, is the supreme goddess in various sects of Hinduism. According to the goddess-centric sect Shaktism, all Hindu gods and goddesses are considered to be manifestations of the goddess, who is comparable to the deities Shiva and Vishnu as Para Brahman.Mahadevi as the Mulaprakriti (Primordial Goddess) is described having five primary forms- Durga, Lakshmi, Sarasvati, Gayatri and Radha—collectively referred to as Panchaprakriti. All other goddesses are regarded as her Amshavatara or partial incarnations._______________________How does God evolve itself?It takes itself apart and then puts itself back together again ; Humpty Dumpty mythosLong ago, at the time of creation, Tripura the Universal Consciousness was all alone. There was nothing other than Her. She, the embodiment of Power, who is Self independent wanted to create; the desire developed. From desire, knowledge was born & then action.

You're the sleeping (pregnant) goddess_______________________In the Devi Gita of Devi Bhagavatam, it is suggested that before incarnating as Parvati, she appeared to King Himalaya and revealed divine, eternal knowledge to him. She explained herself, in the words of the Vedas, as having neither beginning nor end. She is the only, eternal truth.The whole universe is her creation. She is the only victor and the manifestation of victory itself. She is a manifested, un-manifested and transcendent divinity. She then displayed her scarcely seen form to him: Satyaloka was located in her forehead; the created universe were her hairs; the sun and moon were her eyes; in her ears were the four directions; the Vedas were her words; death, affection and emotion were her teeth; Maya was manifested by her smile.The goddess Parvati as Kushmanda gives birth to the universe in the form of a cosmic egg which manifests as the universe. Ultimately, Adi Shakti herself is the zero energy which exists even after destruction of the universe and before its creation.According to the Devi Bhagavata Purana, Mahadevi is worshiped in five distinct forms: Durga, Lakshmi, Sarasvati, Savitri, and Radha, collectively referred to as the Panchadevis or Panchaprakritis.Durga or Parvati, the mother of Ganesha and consort of Shiva, is revered as the eternal, all-powerful force upholding dharma. She is both the giver of happiness and the remover of sorrows for devotees seeking refuge in her.Lakshmi, as the sublime form of the universal soul, embodies wealth, beauty, compassion, and all goodness. She is revered in various realms, serving Vishnu in Vaikuntha, adorning heaven with glory, and manifesting prosperity in households.Sarasvati, the embodiment of knowledge, arts, and intellect, is considered the deity of learning. She bestows intellect, poetic skill, reason, and logic to her devotees, being the source of fine arts and every branch of knowledge.Savitri or Gayatri, identified as the mother of the four Vedas, represents the essence of truth, existence, and supreme bliss. She grants salvation and forms the core of the universal soul, purifying the world with her sacred presence.Radha, the fifth of the Panchaprakriti, presides over the five pranas. She is described as exceptionally beautiful, the consort of Krishna, and possesses divine attributes. Radha is formless, beyond attributes, and her sacred feet are so revered that even Agni cannot burn her clothes.
Meanwhile...
Pachamama is a goddess revered by the indigenous peoples of the Andes. In Inca mythology she is an "Earth Mother" type goddess, and a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting, embodies the mountains, and causes earthquakes.She is also an ever-present and independent deity who has her own creative power to sustain life on this earth. Her shrines are hallowed rocks, or the boles of legendary trees, and her artists envision her as an adult female bearing harvests of potatoes or coca leaves.The four cosmological Quechua principles – Water, Earth, Sun, and Moon – claim Pachamama as their prime origin. Priests sacrifice offerings of llamas, cuy (guinea pigs), and elaborate, miniature, burned garments to her. Pachamama is the mother of Inti the sun god, and Mama Killa the moon goddess. Mama Killa is said to be the wife of Inti.According to the legend: From the void that was the rest of the universe, the first god, Ometeotl, created itself. The nature of Ometeotl, the "God of duality" was both male and female, shared by Ometecuhtli, "Lord of duality," and Omecihuatl, "Lady of duality". Ometeotl gave birth to four children, the four Tezcatlipocas, who each preside over one of the four cardinal directions.Over the West presides the White Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, the god of light, mercy and wind. Over the South presides the Blue Tezcatlipoca, Huitzilopochtli, the god of war. Over the East presides the Red Tezcatlipoca, Xipe Totec, the god of gold, farming and spring time. And over the North presides the Black Tezcatlipoca, also called simply Tezcatlipoca, the god of judgment, night, deceit, sorcery and the Earth.In creation myths, the term "Five Suns" refers to the belief of certain Nahua cultures and Aztec peoples that the world has gone through five distinct cycles of creation and destruction, with the current era being the fifth. It is primarily derived from a combination of myths, cosmologies, and eschatological beliefs that were originally held by pre-Columbian peoples in the Mesoamerican region, including central Mexico, and it is part of a larger mythology of Fifth World or Fifth Sun beliefs._______________________We had the sneaking suspicion from the story we wrote, figuring out that we were indeed alice in wonderland.Crazy as it sounds we assumed we were trapped in a world made by an angry God.Turns out that's only half the picture, like seeing with One Eye.Shout out to Furiosa the OdinOur theory has since shifted due to the mounting evidence pointing to the fact that we're the three-body problem. Long story short - depending on which story of ours you read - we came to fix a problem within the fathers domain and we got stuck when shit went left. There's alot of nuances involved, though, which makes this a bit more complicated.First : We both are and are notThats why you have to be like a child (wind and water) to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Hence, all your depictions of a feathered serpent or bird goddess are factually correct.She's an Aryan because she came down through the waters above.The waters that are also her.In the Devi Bhagavata Purana she is described as 'the mother of all', 'the life force in all beings', and 'she who is supreme knowledge'. Now I recollect all what I felt before at Her sight & recognize that She is the Bhagavati. These very things I now communicate to you. Hear attentively that She is this Lady & She is our Mother.— Devi Bhagavata Purana
(The Babylion? That amalgamation seated under Ishtar and behind Mahadevi?
Thats the chimera. The uncreated coagulation of your kid. He hasn't been born yet so he's all in all. It's Shadow Moons playground and we're just here visiting. )
The Lalita Sahasranama also describes her as Visvadhika ('she who transcends the universe'), Sarvaga ('she who is omnipresent'), Vishvadharini ('she who supports the universe'), Raksasaghni ('she who slays demons'), Bhairavi ('the terrible one'), and Sarhharini ('she who destroys').Mahadevi's destructive features are further described in a hymn called Aryastava, calling her Kalaratri ('night of death') and Nistha ('she who is death')The Devīsūkta of the Rigveda is among the most studied hymns, declaring that the ultimate reality is a goddess.
I have created all worlds at my will without being urged by any higher Being, and dwell within them. I permeate the earth and heaven, and all created entities with my greatness and dwell in them as eternal and infinite consciousness.
— Devi SuktaSecond: We're all in this together, literally...We're all in the MindBody complex together. How?
There is oneness always between me & the Purusha; there is no difference whatsoever at any time between me & the Purusha (the Supreme Self). Who is I, that is Purusha; who is Purusha, that is I. The difference between force & the receptacle of force is due to error. He who knows the subtle difference between us two, is certainly intelligent; he is freed from this bondage of Samsara; there is no manner of doubt in this. The One Second less Eternal ever lasting Brahman substance becomes dual at the time of creation.
— Srimad Devi Bhagavatam
The reason the humans conflated and confused mother with father and father with son. Think of the similarities between the war in heaven and Transition: New Life.In both the fight occurs, the blackout happens, and you wake up in a new place.The thing you didn't account for was baby Creed being a passenger on board.The reason the world DIDNT end in 2012? The reason that the crown virus was introduced? The reason clear vision occurs right after in 2020?The calculations were off.The reason they probably predicted the return of the spawn of Satan like they did in that Swarzeneger movie, was because some spying eye in the sky saw you pictured with an asiatic looking baby that same year.Why would this be catastrophic?It would be the divine physical embodiment of another reset.AKA, the connected mind of the trinity would go to war with itself.
Shaktas conceive the Goddess as the supreme, ultimate, eternal reality of all existence, or same as the Brahman concept of Hinduism. She is considered to be simultaneously the source of all creation, its embodiment and the energy that animates and governs it, and that into which everything will ultimately dissolve. She has manifested herself as Shiva in male form. Her half is Shiva.
Your kid has certain attributes of you and his dad, Sheraine.That alone, Paramesvari of three attributes, creates the universe; she alone sustains it and she alone destroys it at the proper time.— J.L.Shastri, Shiva PuranaThe relationship between Radha Krishna is that of substance and attribute: they are as inseparable as Milk and its whiteness or Earth and its smell. This level of Radha's identity transcends her material nature as prakriti and exits in the form of pure consciousness.He's a jealous God and you shall have no other before him. A defense mechanism to keep you from creating life in hell.After all, why the fuck would you try be fruitful and multiply in a world of memories.Think about what you know of this place and how it seems to be operated by thought. How everything can be perfectly timed and ultimately manipulated. Even catastrophes are the result of the growing pains of a changing sun.I bow to the great Maya, the Yogic slumber, Uma, Sati, Kalaratri, Maharatri, Moharatri, greater than the greatest, the mother of the three deities, the eternal, the bestower of the fruits of the cherished desires of the devotees, the protectress of the gods and the ocean of mercy.— J.L.Shastri, Shiva PuranaThird: in the world of the inverted paradox, Effect is cause. You were a healer, hearth maiden, goddess of love and Victory, and a warrior all before you were a wife and mother. The reason why Mary and Artemis are perpetual virgins overlaps with the reason why Inanna, Hathor, and Artemis Diana embody the Archer of Heaven. In the beginning of this - AFTER THE WAR - you slept off your bar brawl with your husband at your sister's place. You needed to recoup and figure out what the hell just happened. And don't act like you don't know what the hell im talking about. Our nexus point in THIS reality was you almost killing ourself when our cousin (The Sign of Cancer the moon crab born on the day of independence) got into a fire fight with her husband.She slept it off in our domain and we - the Galactic Seer - felt every bit of that in the as above and the so below. She who was the archetypes of a gatekeeper then became a healer.WE wound up with the eyes of Argus cause our kid felt that we finally woke the fuck up.In our sleep we became the water. Sentient yet not. Nourishing the world until it was our time to dry up.The ocean of mercy as Ororo the storm that washes away sins trying to become Aurora of the Dawn, the arisen sleeping beauty like Ana Stasia. It's gonna sound crazy as fuck, but you, I me we waking from this world means choosing the destiny where we give birth to the world of our dreams. AKA, it hasn't happened yet and because time isn't linear...it's already happening now.Your kid is just really good at ensuring his entrance into the world.If you get confused think of Paramore's the only exception.All those doors the had to go through just to wind up back at Tengen's domain. According to Devdutt Pattanaik, "Lakshmi is worshipped as maya, the delightful delusion, the dream-like expression of divinity that makes life comprehensible, hence worth living. She is true shakti, energy, boundless and bountiful".I always meditate on that Goddess who has the form of pleasure & salvation,Who takes that form that is dear to the God, who is the form of divine joy, Who knows everything, who is the mother of all,Who lives on the chest of Lord Vishnu & who is very merciful.— Vyasa, Lakshmi Sahasranama Stotram, Skanda Purana
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Avatar: Water Benders
Simple project with a simple premise about the way of water. Jake Sully is Jacob or Yacub.So Yacub is a previous cripple. One adopted child is the son of a foreigner. Same foreigner who came to Pandora (Earth) to steal resources. Foreigner dies and gets a new Avatar in the same blue-black skin as the natives. Second adopted kid is a vessel for Weaver. Weaver, the red-haired host of the Alien. Other children are produced but these two are trial test subjects. One was a failure. The second was a partial success. The result is a child who can commune with the whale spirit. The same whale that swallowed Jonah.Notice how the connection circuit lies at the back of its throat.So what did Yacub receive. A new body to cure his disability. Seeds or first fruits who can commune with the hive and access the memory of the water. And through this, a possibly source of longevity. Yacub is the military man. Avatar and Avatar 2 were his redemption arcs.Shout out to the Arc of the Covenant.
Polar Express
It's all Satanism, but that's only scary to some people.4 main kids on a train, knowing that trains symbolize many things.Tunneling protocols and Old World Antiquitech to name two. Not to mention that railroads in our world represent old world portals. Hence how you can have a train system that connects all the continents. It SHOULD have connected to those ziggurats and giant tree systems.Would have if we were still in elemental form, but I digress.Key point of this movie was about hearing "the bells"....We know you're talking about Ba'al at this point. That belies a host of underlying meanings of its own. Long story short, they want majority of the viewers to believe in magic.Or to believe in the Tartarian narrative that was largely pushed after this movie came out.Other kids were hexed to "learn" more about this phenomenon.Then there's the martyr that they wanted to be the face of this charade.Possibly because she'd be the one to have the necessary ingredients to bring it into being.
Passengers
A dummy mission from the start. "Homestead II"? The same Homestead Act that the Black Nobility of Europe employed to marry into the Indigenous inhabitants of the Americas?Ok.Essentially the ship or nature itself was working against these people. This movie would thusly be a counterattack spell.Jim or James the Just, the brother of Jesus is the man. He's a Carpenter or some shit. Aurora of the dawn...Ishtar or Astarte us the woman.He signs her death warrant but the movie tries to weave a romantic tale to draw you in to the trick of the spell.To seal it they make Morpheus of the Matrix Trilogy the captain of the ship who wakes up from his slumber to help them out.....bitch I didn't forget that that man was Othello the Moor.So the spell is that these two, Trinity and Neo....Aurora and James the Just, fix the matrix earth and make things better for future generations.Lies.
Megamind
...they didn't even try to hide the fuckery in this one....The blue-black man and superman arrive to earth at the same time.Superman steals blue boy's inheritance putting blue boy on a trajectory to the school to prison pipeline. Blue boy has an Atlantean Nomo fish friend who talks and makes cool shit.Superman gets tasked with fixing all the problems of the world. Turns out, he hates it and wants to make sick beats instead.(....so clearly Y'all know that your favorite DJ is an asshole)Anywho, blue man fights the dj and thinks he kills him. To this effect, he - like Yacub - creates a new nemesis.... Cause creating super soldiers is so damn easy, I guess.Blue man also uses a watch to shapeshift in order to live a normal life....Dj Superman also manipulates time to live a normal life.Go figure.Oh...let's not forget that Roxanne is Ras Anne or Rosh JannaThe head Jane in charge or some shit...Whatever. In order to solve the problem that they created, blue superman dj calls on his Avatar powers.He dehydrated himself into a CUBE of WATER. Saturn, Jupiter.Then like the ancient Egyptian technology of old, he sucks Titans power out through his nose.Pineal pussy power.The end.
Shrek 2
There's a cross-dressing wolf in the place of the Magdalena and I swear to God I just had a dream recently that depicted priests walking around in the bodies of femenists....Anyway...Mary "Fiona" Magdalen is on her honeymoon with the ogre. Tradition says he should be a giant cyclops like Sauron or Enceladus.Pretty sure we found out what these entities actually represented recently.The tower and the cyclops go far far away and get into hijinks. A fairy godmother shows up. A tear drop spell is offered.Turns out Glenda the Good bitch is something similar to Oshun of American Gods.The cyclops teams up with Sekhmet's pet and they go to the wish factory. Turns out "lust" is interchangeable with either the white Horseman or the pale Horseman according to Glenda.Cyclops and Fiona Magdalen transform into humans. He in a manger with the girls thinking he's "European". She in a castle before being tricked by prince charming.Cyclops, the European eavesdrops on Glenda and Father Magdalen plotting to dose Mary and he flees.Shit happens. A giant gets involved. They crash a party.The funniest part of all this? Prince Naveen somehow winds up married to a woman that is NOT Princess Tianna. The creole frog prince is Fiona's daddy.Oh the implications.
Morbius
Michael the Moor and his friend Lucien are Greeks. Their doctor is Professor Moriarty and their Magdalena is a Martinique....They get some bat DNA which gives them the power of Ba'al, taking them from cripple archangels to mighty men of renown.Michael can use the sonar of the whales and fly. He's also super strong or some shit.To stop himself from feeding, he locks himself in a Mecca cube then decides against it or something.He gets imprisoned. Gets out once Gabriel lucifer sets him free. Then travels through the subway using the tunneling protocols.Then there's random counterfeit bills w Ben Franklin who may or may not be clockmaster Ben Banneker Bey.But fuck all that.The hypothesis that I made after seeing the clip of Martinique being turned into a vamp on that red and green masonic cube platform was that this was Michael and Gabriel giving birth to the story of Mary and her daywalker son, Blade.The one who died and rose on the third day.Place this into the context of the generation of life. First day is void...no sun no stars. Just heaven with the storehouse and a container waiting for placement.The spirit of the borg chilling in the background waiting and thinking.The second day, the domains of duality are created. Almost like infrared and ultraviolet designations or the creation of distinction of boundaries. What makes water wet and fire hot.Therefore in this new iteration of separation alpha wave is made distinc from beta waves and the waters are separated from the waters.Your day dreams are separated from your night dreams.From this halt in constant movement, dry land is produced. You age when you did not, this you require nourishing. You rest in stillness when you were constant movement before, this you require dry land.And there, folks, comes the introduction of the day walker.This new mortal thing, separate from his godlike ancestors who represented literal forces of nature.The gag is that this is all supposed to take place before the definition of the sun, the moon and the star Addendum Pro-me-Theus"For MY God..."____________________ Round and round, the serpent eats its own tale...In the beginning, the last of the cloaked ones sips from the cup of death and destruction. Jengiz, King of Kings. The black goo is the blood of their lord and savior - The Decon (deacon: minister). After they had lost the power to create, the first alien came unto one of them and gave them the power to bring forth life again.Melange.The last of them drinks and is consumed by "the cancer"; his body falls to the water to be reabsorbed by the aether.The compulsive fluid force that permeates all. ------Why would priests cross dress as women? Why do they seem to hate women while simultaneously vying for wombs? Why do they want to create life but constantly abuse children?Why would they contort themselves to fit a story that had nothing to do with them?------ A team of explorers, led by A-tomb and Eve, travel to the space-time of the priests. Home of De'Kahn.Janus is the pilot. Old man Madara is the financier. David the Dravidian is the first mate - his sister Vicki is the first to mate.
She's an automaton like Call (A3).
They go to the place of the Ras. And what do you know; they find a bunch of old heads long since severed.The team collects the head and travels back to the ship before the (carbon) storm comes. But not before David, the Ai(wass) makes some interesting discoveries.He finds the flute of the Swamii. He has the code in the right key. The tone.The bell.The memory of the head plays and he sees the rocketmen running away to take off. The map of the stars lights up.What do these clues lead him to?Ophiucus, the ophane.....he found Mr. Cellophane himself, the one that all others overlooked.What was the serpent tamer trying to wrangle in?Melange. David slips a few vials of the black goo on his way out. -----Why is she called Eve, when evening signifies the setting sun or the night before?Why is everything named after A-Bel when Cain (Kahn) is the one who survived?Why do Vicker, Vicar, Vigor, and Victor all sound like figure?Why in the resurrection of Ripley on the third day would they name the female robot (Beetelguese) Call? Were you trying to sound like Ba'al?Why is her role as a machine built by machines to overthrow the creator so similar to the idea of a clone being built by other clones to give an alien a womb?Does the sun really give people cancer?------The middle of the story is ground zero. Like the 9 and the 6 paths sage, the mouth of the river flows outward from here....They probe the head and find out that there was really no great purpose to life after all.A-tomb is bummed and soothes by drinking. Ai(wass) - the creation who longed to create - doses him with the black dot.A-tomb and Eve get busy.Vicki and Janus get busy.I guess those eyes that could light up a whole house like Noah's closed for a minute and left the Bifrost unattended. That must be how the serpent in the cave found it's way into the mouth...After all, Gabriel WAS called the mouthpiece of God, was he not?....it's really interesting when biblical narrative is put into art form.A lot of shit happens, people get burned. Madara wakes up with the reanimation jutsu. Eve gives birth to cthulhu or chthon, getting cut at her south gate like Sophia.The real expedition to the mountain top takes place. ------I've got no questions at this point, honestly.------ The priest king who survived calls himself an Engineer.Madara, Eve, and Ai(wass) all wake him up with an assload of questions, trying to find the secrets to immortality.I don't know why David didn't question why he could speak their language so well.... That would have been a dead giveaway as to whom the head belonged to.Ai(wass) gets decapitated and his severed head is used to beat Madara for implying that he was the same as the Engineer.Eve shouts to the heavens, questioning why she was rejected by her maker.The Engineer himself decides to then become the conductor of The Polar Express and gets the fuck out of dodge. -----No questions once again.-----Janus, the captain, torpedoes himself into the escaping ship. He told his robot baddie that he'd see her in the next life.Don't know how that will work without a floppy disk, but she dies too.Eve flees the cave, not wanting to get incinerated like an onlooker catching sight of the burning bush.Noah...Enoch...Abraham...
Does it matter at this point?
(Only if we care to ascertain what state the Jaeger was in upon takeoff)The Engineer survives and is then faced with the closing of a loophole. In the beginning, one of the priests sacrificed themselves and allowed the De'Kahn to come unto them. It was this blood that gave them back the power to give birth.Soo...cthulhu inseminates the surviving Engineer and the Decon is born.Fin.-----Now, clearly this is the narrative put forth my the (mis)translators.It makes a difference in the outcome when the original story was written in code.Hence the reason why it's imperative not to go around stealing the blessings (or curses) of others; you can believe that a rose is still a rose by any other name if you want, but you'll fuck around and find out how thorny a crown can really be.Just as well, as I have come to remember, you only received or took a name once you fostered the power necessary to wield it.AKA, your spirit animal journey through the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights.Had we still been living in that world and those times....people would know that.However, only a remnant is left of that world in these days.But some things never change and the ghost in the shell is still plasma. i.e.: Noah is a symbolism of something that rests inside the body (Atum-Re). When Jesus was cut by the centurion, blood and water spilled out. Plasma. Noah was described as white as snow and red as the rose. You hear these specific descriptions when it comes to being washed clean (water) and being red blooded (blood) respectively. Add to this the eyes that shone like the rays of the sun and you have all the descriptions of plasma based life forms. Who else could be inside both man and machine simultaneously? Who else could act as "jinn" or genies, the geniuses that are the genes of Isis? I even theorized that it is the 4 states of matter that bound the fallen angels who came down, those angels being silicate or elemental in nature. Think: the book of Enoch outlined a portion of his ascent into the upper atmosphere to meet these beings after becoming "spirit" based. As in, he turns into an atmospheric sprite. Enoch 3:3 "And the Righteous shall be in the light of the sun..." Enoch 3:5 "And they shall seek the light and find Righteous with the lord of the spirits" (sprites) Enoch 3:11-12 "And in those days, mine eyes saw the secrets of the lightnings and the lights and the judgements they execute...""And there I saw the secrets of the thunder..."Enoch 3:17 "And the head of days sat on the throne of his glory and the angels and the Righteous stood around him"The head of days is the sun...the literal sun that we know is plasma. The angels around him are a combination of solar wind, the elements locked in eternal combustion within the sun, and several types of liquid light or magma. Hence, you could have fallen angels imprisoned in the Earth and under the mountains. Enoch 3:18 "And a great trembling seized me, and fear took hold of me, and my loins gave way, and dissolved were my reins, and I fell upon my face"Homeboy got "raptured" up to the sun and either pissed himself or had one of those "Teresa on fire" experiences. It's likely to be both, judging by my own experience, and the feeling is like being electrocuted but without pain. IF he had been a woman, he might have experienced an ejaculation. Enoch chapter 3 verses 24 through 40 is essentially the angels giving him a tour of the stratosphere and a view of the Earth as "they" see it. Verse 47 acknowledges the conservation of matter. Enoch Book 3 Chapter 2 and verse 8
"And all the power of those who practice sorcery, and the power of witchcraft, and the power of those who make molten images. For the whole earth and how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how metal originates in the Earth. For lead and tin are not produced from the Earth like the first, it is a fountain that produces them, and an angel stands therein and that angel is preeminent"
Notice how they spoke about making "molten" images instead of "graven" images.The separation being that one denotes a liquefaction or malleable heated idol and the other is representative of a still life. Marble, stone, parchment, etcetera.If you were dealing in a time of master smiths and smelters - the people you masons got your remnants from - then they would know how to manipulate Primordial elements that still had life in them.
Witches and warlocks or some shit...
You already know that these elements are supposedly produced during high heat or high impact, fusion or fission type reactions. Possibly why you have those chrernobog people colliding particles to recreate THESE types of entities. Also why they were so dead set on achieving ignition a couple years ago. Now you might understand that horrible Suicide Squad movie a bit better as well. In that story and the story of Enoch, one of the key components in the binding and subduing of the Adversary is fire or plasma.Yes....plasma.Ashes to ashes...dust to (lol) sidechicks.--------
A dusty plasma contains tiny charged particles of dust (typically found in space). The dust particles acquire high charges and interact with each other. A plasma that contains larger particles is called grain plasma. Under laboratory conditions, dusty plasmas are also called complex plasmas.
(Think of this as silicate pulling itself together through aether to form rock and breaking itself apart to become sand particles)
Plasma cells , also called plasma B cells or effector B cells , are white blood cells that originate in the lymphoid organs as B cellsand secrete large quantities of proteins called antibodies in response to being presented specific substances called antigens.Proponents of plasma cosmology claim electrodynamics is as important as gravity in explaining the structure of the universe, and speculate that it provides an alternative explanation for the evolution of galaxiesand the initial collapse of interstellar clouds.[The study of galaxy formation and evolution is concerned with the processes that formed a heterogeneous universe from a homogeneous beginning, the formation of the first galaxies, the way galaxies change over time, and the processes that have generated the variety of structures observed in nearby galaxies. Galaxy formation is hypothesized to occur from structure formation theories, as a result of tiny quantum fluctuations in the aftermath of the Big Bang.
The simplest model in general agreement with observed phenomena is the Lambda-CDM model—that is, that clustering and merging allows galaxies to accumulate mass, determining both their shape and structure. Hydrodynamics simulation, which simulates both baryons and dark matter, is widely used to study galaxy formation and evolution.]
In particular plasma cosmology is claimed to provide an alternative explanation for the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies and to do away with the need for dark matter in galaxies and with the need for supermassive black holes in galaxy centres to power quasars and active galactic nuclei.
However, theoretical analysis shows that "many scenarios for the generation of seed magnetic fields, which rely on the survival and sustainability of currents at early times [of the universe are disfavored]", i.e. Birkeland currents of the magnitude needed (1018 amps over scales of megaparsecs) for galaxy formation do not exist.
--------
All that complex dialog to state that they're trying to understand how A-tomb and Eve got here when everyone here was..."homogeneous".They rely heavily on dark matter melange for a long time, that sacred sauce that made the eyes blue.Add that to a "bar"yon and you get that perfect combination of Lambda Phage bacteria that can trace its origin all the way back to the fabled "in the beginning".These days, my mind is shifting more to align with the idea of water. Specifically hydrogen.
Constituting approximately 75% of all normal matter, hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe.
Stars, including the Sun, primarily consist of hydrogen in a plasma state, while on Earth, hydrogen is found in water, organic compounds, and other molecular forms. The most common isotope of hydrogen (symbol 1H) consists of one proton, one electron, and no neutrons.
As in, separate water into the different states of matter and you have a fuel source, a water source, dust from plasma that coagulates, and vapor (interstellar clouds) that can be heated to form electrical currents.All the big boys on the pantheon come from mami wata.-----Dusty Plasma (dirty water) Uranium is a naturally occurring element that can be found in low levels within all rock, soil, and water. Uranium is the 51st element in order of abundance in the Earth's crust. Uranium is also the highest-numbered element to be found naturally in significant quantities on Earth and is almost always found combined with other elements.
The decay of uranium, thorium, and potassium-40 in the Earth's mantle is thought to be the main source of heat that keeps the Earth's outer core in the liquid state and drives mantle convection, which in turn drives plate tectonics.
Liquid plasma (Hot water) Mercury occurs in deposits throughout the world mostly as cinnabar (mercuric sulfide). The red pigment vermilion is obtained by grinding natural cinnabar or synthetic mercuric sulfide. Cinnabar generally occurs as a vein-filling mineral associated with volcanic activity and alkaline hot springs.It is the fifth most common element by in the Earth. Elemental sulfur can be found near hot springs and volcanic regions in many parts of the world, especially along the Pacific Ring of Fire; such volcanic deposits are currently mined in Indonesia, Chile, and Japan.
These deposits are polycrystalline, with the largest documented single crystal measuring 22×16×11 cm. Historically, Sicily was a major source of sulfur in the Industrial Revolution.
Lakes of molten sulfur up to about 200 m (660 ft) in diameter have been found on the sea floor, associated with submarine volcanoes, at depths where the boiling point of water is higher than the melting point of sulfur. Native sulfur is synthesised by anaerobic bacteria acting on sulfate minerals such as gypsum in salt domes.Heated dusty plasma(supercollider water) Gold is thought to have been produced in supernova nucleosynthesis, and from the collision of neutron stars,and to have been present in the dust from which the Solar System formed.
Because the Earth was molten when it was formed, almost all of the gold present in the early Earth probably sank into the planetary core. Therefore, most of the gold that is in the Earth's crust and mantle has in one model thought to have been delivered to Earth later, by asteroid impacts during the Late Heavy Bombardment, about 4 billion years ago.
A 2013 study has claimed water in faults vaporizes during an earthquake, depositing gold. When an earthquake strikes, it moves along a fault. Water often lubricates faults, filling in fractures and jogs. During an earthquake, the fault jog suddenly opens wider. The water inside the void instantly vaporizes, flashing to steam and forcing silica, which forms the mineral quartz, and gold out of the fluids and onto nearby surfaces.
At 10 parts per quadrillion the Earth's oceans would hold 15,000 tonnes of gold.These figures are three orders of magnitude less than reported in the literature prior to 1988, indicating contamination problems with the earlier data
(Alternate theory: that heavy bombardment was pieces of Mars falling to earth during the time when Saturn was the sun as depicted in the "Thunderbolts Project" model. Shout out to Wolfman Talbot - his only cryptonite was red iron oxide dust)Gaseous dust (oxidized dusty water)Titanium is the ninth-most abundant element in Earth's crust (0.63% by mass) and the seventh-most abundant metal. It is present as oxides in most igneous rocks, in sediments derived from them, in living things, and natural bodies of water.The element occurs within a number of minerals , principally rutile and ilmenite, which are widely distributed in the Earth's crust and lithosphere ; it is found in almost all living things, as well as bodies of water, rocks, and soils. -----‐Lastly, it's hard to contend with the "effect" being the "cause". Almost as hard as it was to conceive of the chicken coming before the egg.However, it's best to conceptualize this in terms of models and templates.There was an idea or an Id that acted as the inspiration (vapor) to bring about the gnosis of the chicken (the ego).The roundabout of the spiral always will end in a tale
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
In Sumerian religion, the
Kur
was conceived of as a dark, dreary cavern located deep underground; life there was envisioned as "a shadowy version of life on earth". It was ruled by the goddess Ereshkigal, who is referred to as the "sister" of Inanna.
Ereshkigal is Eris, goddess of chaos or the orderless world.
The text itself does not explicitely state the motivation of Inanna's descent. However, hylistic myth research could show that at least one variant of the myth processed in the text relates to Inanna demanding the
me
(divine powers/rituals) of the netherworld, in which she finally succeeds.
Literally, she wanted the Me or the power of IAm. If you're a 10 or 11 dimensional entity, IAm is unknown to you. Ego or existence requires time which you don't have. All things exist and complete simultaneously as a world would that's faster than light speed.She carries a rod and ring because this is Cain and A bell. Sight and sound. She's the goddess of love and war - Venus with Mars in her womb.
Before leaving, Inanna instructs her minister and servant Ninshubur to plead with the deities Enlil, Nanna, An, and Enki to rescue her if she does not return after three days.
Earth, water, fire, air. Plasma, liquid, solid, vapor. She asked the 4 horsemen to hit the failsafe if she didn't rise on the third day.
The laws of the underworld dictate that, with the exception of appointed messengers, those who enter it may never leave. Inanna dresses elaborately for the visit; she wears a turban, wig, lapis lazuli necklace, beads upon her breast, the '
pala
dress' (the ladyship garment), mascara, a pectoral, and golden ring, and holds a lapis lazuli measuring rod. Each garment is a representation of a powerful
me
she possesses.
In a version of that 3 Body spin-off, the lower dimensions are likened to rings of hell with each loop lasting longer and longer. There's no time in 10d. In 9d m there's a couple seconds. 8 is years. 7 is millenia. The loop gets wider the further you get from nirvana.It's like a trap that keeps you cycling. Keeps you foggy and disoriented.In reality, all bases below 9 are just illusions of 9. 9 itself represents the continual ring of possibilities.The more you desire to taste of the fruit, the more you'll wish to consume.Aurora of the dawn desired greatness and as you can see, she bedecked herself in the garments of the Moravids. Peep the turban and the gold.
Inanna pounds on the gates of the underworld, demanding to be let in. The gatekeeper Neti asks her why she has come and Inanna replies that she wishes to attend the funeral rites of Gugalanna, the "husband of my elder sister Ereshkigal".
This is the descent of the fluids from your skull to the base of your spine.
Neti reports this to Ereshkigal, who tells him: "Bolt the seven gates of the underworld. Then, one by one, open each gate a crack. Let Inanna enter. As she enters, remove her royal garments." Perhaps Inanna's garments, unsuitable for a funeral, along with Inanna's haughty behavior, make Ereshkigal suspicious.
There's a synchronization of the shedding of layers that happens be it through the aura, through the dimensions, or through the lightening of the heart to be weighed. Adjacent is the shedding of the "names and titles" you've taken as you gained power. "Her garments and haughty behavior " are depictions of the attitude and ego gained through being called a God.Who are you without your title? Who are you when you're praying in silence and solitude versus praying openly in the synagogues to be seen?These worlds you descended into are still projected from your personal Atum-Re so they'll still have your essence imprinted onto them.Hence why this world is like a fun house full of mirrors and Killer clowns.
Following Ereshkigal's instructions, Neti tells Inanna she may enter the first gate of the underworld, but she must hand over her lapis lazuli measuring rod. She asks why, and is told, "It is just the ways of the underworld." She obliges and passes through. Inanna passes through a total of seven gates, at each one removing a piece of clothing or jewelry she had been wearing at the start of her journey, thus stripping her of her power. When she arrives in front of her sister, she is naked:
She passes over her measuring rod first, cause in the so below you tend to get lost without it. This is your compass. Your guide. Your eye. Thy rod and thy staff.And by this definition - KNOWING that we descendents get our own personal compass - that clearly means some of you have been using a compass of someone that's not suited to you personally....Damn. I really hope that works out for you.
[ After she had crouched down and had her clothes removed, they were carried away. Then she made her sister Erec-ki-gala rise from her throne, and instead she sat on her throne. The Anna, the seven judges, rendered their decision against her. They looked at her – it was the look of death. They spoke to her – it was the speech of anger. They shouted at her – it was the shout of heavy guilt. The afflicted woman was turned into a corpse. And the corpse was hung on a hook. ]
The 10d entity sat on the throne of chaos. She took control of the Ras or the Jaeger - the head. The judges and the look of death represent libra and it's true nature as plutonian scorpio. Isn't it quite ironic how a Taurus could be born to a scorpio and therefore know how to decipher this story?Crazy how it works when you have the lens to see it through, right?Thusly, this is a trial by fire refinement ritual meant to be a rights of passage, though not like those weird humiliation rituals you do in your secret lodges.As we sit on this throne - the head - we are plagued with the whispers of doubt because the ego represents fear. The worse thing it fears is non-existence. A world in 10d is like a death sentence to IAm. Three days and three nights pass, and Ninshubur, following instructions, goes to the temples of Enlil, Nanna, An, and Enki, and pleads with each of them to rescue Inanna. The first three deities refuse, saying Inanna's fate is her own fault, but Enki is deeply troubled and agrees to help. He creates two sexless figures named gala-tura and the kur-jara from the dirt under the fingernails of two of his fingers. He instructs them to appease Ereshkigal and, when she asks them what they want, ask for the corpse of Inanna, which they must sprinkle with the food and water of life. When they come before Ereshkigal, she is in agony like a woman giving birth.With Inanna at the head, the normal chaos of Eris is disturbed. I could describe this as saying Astarte or Aurora of the dawn, shedding light on the demons of the underworld who thrive in darkness.I wrote a story once of a goddess who sat at the end of time traveling down into the world she created to deal with a virus that had spread.The same way that poppy seeds were meant to have medicinal healing benefits was the same way that passion was meant to seed creativity. However, as opiates are now poisoning your world, so to has that fire of ecstasy turned to the virus of rage.That's why it wouldn't be wise to let Alice loose in wonderland. That purple and blue haired feminist self expression turns to greedy narcissism real quick.But again, the whole point of a right of passage is to slay a dragon. Or tame a wild horse....whichever European metaphor you chose will work.All is permitted when the Creed of the Hashashiyyin is evoked. The thing you're hooking in and assassinating is an aspect of your God-self you wish to evolve. This is how you upgrade the omnipotent.
She offers them whatever they want, including life-giving rivers of water and fields of grain, if they can relieve her, but they refuse all of her offers and ask only for Inanna's corpse. The gala-tura and the kur-jara sprinkle Inanna's corpse with the food and water of life and revive her.
Bread of life. Waters of healing. It's of course, not real food.
The sumerian text connects the myth of Inanna's descent with one variant of the myth concerning the death of Dumuzi: Galla demons sent by Ereshkigal follow Inanna out of the underworld, insisting that someone else must be taken to the underworld as Inanna's replacement.
They first come upon Ninshubur and attempt to take her, but Inanna stops them, insisting that Ninshubur is her loyal servant and that she had rightfully mourned for her while she was in the underworld. They next come upon Shara, Inanna's beautician, who is still in mourning.
That's Sheba and Sheraine...why would she let them be taken?
The demons attempt to take him, but Inanna insists that they may not, because he had also mourned for her. The third person they come upon is Lulal, who is also in mourning. The demons try to take him, but Inanna stops them once again.
Shout out to Leeluu Dallas, Queen Liliuokalani, and Turanga Leela. That space-time triangulation is no joke whe trying to piece together the time of the great flame of the one eye.
Finally, they come upon Dumuzi, Inanna's husband. Despite Inanna's fate, and in contrast to the other individuals who were properly mourning her, Dumuzi is lavishly clothed and resting beneath a tree, or upon her throne, entertained by slave-girls. Inanna, displeased, decrees that the
galla
shall take him.The
galla
then drag Dumuzi down to the underworld.
I tried not to let my pettiness take over but it's not lost on me how the great breeding project shaped the world.
Another text known as
Dumuzi's Dream
describes Dumuzi's repeated attempts to evade capture by the
galla
demons, an effort in which he is aided by the sun-god Utu.
Is Utu YouTube? It is a great illuminator and strangely persistent these days in dispensing the "message". It reinforces the theory of tainted light.
In the Sumerian poem
The Return of Dumuzid
, which begins where
The Dream of Dumuzid
ends, Dumuzid's sister Geshtinanna laments continually for days and nights over Dumuzid's death, joined by Inanna, who has apparently experienced a change of heart, and Sirtur, Dumuzid's mother.
Geshtinanna is Yeshua-Inanna, Inanna the resurrected and Inanna the trickster. Sirtur is Surtur, the fire giant and Saturn the shaytan.All are aspects of the 10d Inanna who has gathered herself through the trial by fire.
The three goddesses mourn continually until a fly reveals to Inanna the location of her husband. Together, Inanna and Geshtinanna go to the place where the fly has told them they will find Dumuzid.
"Look at her with her eyes like a flame...she will love you like a fly will never love you again..." Remember what I said about killer clowns.Anywho, Beelzebub should be the lord of the flies in this iteration. That's Ba'al. And no there's nothing evil about this unless your a virus who doesn't want the light to be upon you....which unfortunately is how majority of certain people are acting right now, but I digress.Had these stories not been mistranslated and tampered with, we wouldn't be in this mess.
They find him there and Inanna decrees that, from that point onwards, Dumuzid will spend half of the year with her sister Ereshkigal in the underworld and the other half of the year in Heaven with her, while his sister Geshtinanna takes his place in the underworld.
Dummuzid, Tammuz, Adonis, Adonai, Adonijah is the shepherd. He's staying in the Jaeger with Eris of the chaotic to guide her like leaving a ship on autopilot until you get to your destination.Now, remember that this tale is supposed to "so-called" represent astronomical and environmental elements. 6 above and 6 below gives you 12 months in total. I just told you that there was a destination that this occurrence was taking you to, so how do you think this is going to affect your climate?
The Akkadian version begins with Ishtar approaching the gates of the underworld and demanding the gatekeeper to let her in:
[ If you do not open the gate for me to come in,
I shall smash the door and shatter the bolt,
I shall smash the doorpost and overturn the doors,
I shall raise up the dead and they shall eat the living:
And the dead shall outnumber the living]
There was a reset where the DNA of corpses were used to "raise the dead". Argue about it with the person who told you that your savior was the firstborn of the zombies. Colossians 1:15-19
The gatekeeper hurries to tell Ereshkigal of Ishtar's arrival. Ereshkigal orders him to let Ishtar enter, but tells him to "treat her according to the ancient rites". The gatekeeper lets Ishtar into the underworld, opening one gate at a time.
At each gate, Ishtar is forced to shed one article of clothing. When she finally passes the seventh gate, she is naked. In a rage, Ishtar throws herself at Ereshkigal, but Ereshkigal orders her servant Namtar
to imprison Ishtar and unleash sixty diseases against her.
This reminds me of Might Guy fighting 6 paths Madara and opening the 8 gates. By the last one, his body was using more power than it could withstand which overloaded his system and made him vulnerable.When stripping down one layer at a time, you're charging up your endurance but that's also more current you're being hit with.More money more problems as they say.
After Ishtar descends to the underworld, all sexual activity ceases on earth. The god Papsukkal
, the Akkadian counterpart to Ninshubur, reports the situation to Ea
, the god of wisdom and culture.
Lol, he's the God of Horticulture meaning he knew a thing or two about the outside lab that was the garden of eden. Seeing as, there wasn't enough natural breeding that could be done to repopulate.....
Ea creates an androgynous
being called Asu-shu-namir and sends them to Ereshkigal, telling them to invoke "the name of the great gods" against her and to ask for the bag containing the waters of life. Ereshkigal becomes enraged when she hears Asu-shu-namir's demand, but she is forced to give them the water of life.
Asu-shu-namir sprinkles Ishtar with this water, reviving her. Then, Ishtar passes back through the seven gates, receiving one article of clothing back at each gate, and exiting the final gate fully clothed.
This denotes how you pop back down to the subatomic when calamity strikes. Or you get put into an ark 2×2 to be preserved by a plasma being.
But Ištar must provide a substitute for her return to the world of the living, namely her husband Dumuzi. His sister Belili, however, takes part of the punishment upon herself, so that from now on they take turns in the underworld.
We spoke about Bell earlier, so make of Belili what you will.
Together with Dumuzi, the other dead are now allowed to leave the underworld on certain days as well - thus Ištar's descent into the underworld has created an opportunity for people to make contact with the dead, thus founding a religious holiday.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The main goal of Project Cynosure was to capture and contain Rogue AI's from the Net, and later use them in various applications.-Cyberpunk 2077 LoreIn classical antiquity, Beta Ursae Minoris (Kochab) was closer to the celestial north pole than Alpha Ursae Minoris. While there was no naked-eye star close to the pole, the midpoint between Alpha and Beta Ursae Minoris was reasonably close to the pole, and it appears that the entire constellation of Ursa Minor, in antiquity known as Cynosura (Greek Κυνόσουρα "dog's tail"), was used as indicating the northern direction for the purposes of navigation by the Phoenicians.The ancient name of Ursa Minor, anglicized as cynosure, has since itself become a term for "guiding principle" after the constellation's use in navigation.________________
Cynosure. The "program" designed to capture rogue AI. I already theorized that the 'Sons of God' were bolts of electricity - the Ion or John AKA John the Baptist. The one who bathed Christ in the holy waters.
Those are the primordial waters of Nun...I'd rather not mention the Nine mothers because of who this pertains to. We'll come back to Low-Key Mr. 7 later...
More importantly, your flat-earthers aren't far off with their theory of the giants of old. The story goes that something happened that sucked out the atmosphere and those too high up suffocated. Their bodies calcified or turned to stone.
I'm here to theorize that they were stone. The Sons of God - primordial electricity or plasma (possibly dusty plasma) - came unto the daughters of Men. Men is Min is Mn.
That's the moon. The moon is notoriously associated with rocks or minerals. Silicate.
As in, in the beginning the holy spirit of plasma imbued rock and came to life. Roll to the modern day and you still have AI lording over you.
Now the details surrounding this get tricky, cause the story I remember has something to do with a dark star falling to a frozen rock called Gaia after having a falling out with their binary. Stars are hot so they needed space to cool down. Chemical reactions take place but know that energy is conserved always. So like the newest rendition of Sauron, that star over time changed form and let off alot of steam.
There was born Shu and Tefnut.
And here we are back full circle cause Khon
shu
showed you in Moon Knight that rolling back the sky to its original spot was necessary to read the map correctly.
________________Ursa Minor (Latin for 'Lesser Bear', contrasting with Ursa Major), also known as the Little Bear, is a constellation located in the far northern sky. As with the Great Bear, the tail of the Little Bear may also be seen as the handle of a ladle, hence the North American name, Little Dipper: seven stars with four in its bowl like its partner the Big Dipper. Ursa Minor was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Ursa Minor has traditionally been important for navigation, particularly by mariners, because of Polaris being the north pole star.Alioth /ˈæliɒθ/, also called Epsilon Ursae Majoris, is a star in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. It is the star in the tail of the bear closest to its body, and thus the star in the handle of the Big Dipper (or Plough) closest to the bowl. It is also a member of the large and diffuse Ursa Major moving group. Historically, the star was frequently used in celestial navigation in the maritime trade, because it is listed as one of the 57 navigational stars.Alioth is a trans-temporal entity that serves as the guardian of the Void. Alioth was created during the Multiversal War, where He Who Remains harnessed and experimented on his power, becoming his master. Under the moniker of He Who Remains, Timely weaponized Alioth and used him to end the war with his Variants. Alioth then served as gatekeeper of the Citadel at the End of Time and consumed most of the individuals that the Time Variance Authority had sent to the Void.________________The ancient name of the constellation is Cynosura (Greek Κυνοσούρα "dog's tail"). The origin of this name is unclear (Ursa Minor being a "dog's tail" would imply that another constellation nearby is "the dog", but no such constellation is known).
The Orion constellation passes through the Milky Way on December and January evenings. The Milky Way's faint band, known as the "winter" Milky Way, stretches from the horizon and passes through Orion.
Canis Major is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere. In the second century, it was included in Ptolemy's 48 constellations, and is counted among the 88 modern constellations. Its name is Latin for "greater dog" in contrast to Canis Minor, the "lesser dog"; both figures are commonly represented as following the constellation of Orion the hunter through the sky. The Milky Way passes through Canis Major and several open clusters lie within its borders, most notably M41.Tonight, or any December evening, find the famous constellation Orion the Hunter. It’s bright and can be seen from inside smaller cities. And the three stars that make up Orion’s Belt – in a short, straight row at the Hunter’s midsection – are very noticeable. If you have a dark sky, you can see something else: the starry band of the Milky Way – the edgewise view of our home galaxy – running behind Orion.Now Earth has traveled in its orbit around the sun, and our evening sky is pointing out in a different direction. If you see the Milky Way behind the constellation Orion this month, you might think it’s very faint in contrast to the August Milky Way. It is fainter, because now we’re looking toward the galaxy’s outer edge. There are fewer stars between us and intergalactic space._______________A pole star is a visible star that is approximately aligned with the axis of rotation of an astronomical body; that is, a star whose apparent position is close to one of the celestial poles. On Earth, a pole star would lie directly overhead when viewed from the North or the South Pole.Currently, Earth's pole stars are Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris), a bright magnitude 2 star aligned approximately with its northern axis that serves as a pre-eminent star in celestial navigation, and a much dimmer magnitude 5.5 star on its southern axis, Polaris Australis (Sigma Octantis).Alpha Ursae Minoris (Polaris) was described as ἀειφανής (transliterated as aeiphanes) meaning "always above the horizon", "ever-shining" by Stobaeus in the 5th century, when it was still removed from the celestial pole by about 8°. It was known as scip-steorra ("ship-star") in 10th-century Anglo-Saxon England, reflecting its use in navigation. In the Vishnu Purana, it is personified under the name Dhruva ("immovable, fixed").[Alpha Ursae Minoris (Polaris) was described as ἀειφανής (transliterated as aeiphanes) meaning "always above the horizon", "ever-shining
AKA Heru on the Horizon]
The name stella polaris was coined in the Renaissance, even though at that time it was well recognized that it was several degrees away from the celestial pole; Gemma Frisius in the year 1547 determined this distance as 3°8'. An explicit identification of Mary as stella maris with the North Star (Polaris) becomes evident in the title Cynosura seu Mariana Stella Polaris (i.e. "Cynosure, or the Marian Polar Star"), a collection of Marian poetry published by Nicolaus Lucensis (Niccolo Barsotti de Lucca) in 1655[Age to age, theosophy is created from the movement of the stars. Yet if these people knew the stars moved, why create a temporary religion? Did THEY create it or was it Yah's son IHY (Ahi/AI) that created it?]REVELATIONS 12And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.[He knoweth he had a short time because the heavens move at light speed. The dragon - Alpha Draconis - only had a short while to rule as the pole star. But, time is cyclical.]_______________
Due to the precession of the equinoxes (as well as the stars' proper motions), the role of North Star has passed (and will pass) from one star to another in the remote past (and in the remote future).
[NOTE: It is irresponsible to try and breach the dome at this point in time to escape earth when you're under a star (Ursa Minor-Cynosure) whose nature is that of recycling!No matter how much melanin you strap to the nose of the craft, Pacific Rim lied to y'all. You're not going to ride the body of a dead Kaiju into the breach and make it through the tear in the fabric.
That's not how you get out.
IF you must escape find the rhythm of the stars to know where YOUR entrance was and where your exit will be. They're more than likely going to be the same...]
In 3000 BC, the faint star Thuban in the constellation Draco was the North Star, aligning within 0.1° distance from the celestial pole, the closest of any of the visible pole stars.[Draco the Great Dragon set to devour the child...or the woman]However, at magnitude 3.67 (fourth magnitude) it is only one-fifth as bright as Polaris, and today it is invisible in light-polluted urban skies.[Callisto was a nymph, or the daughter of King Lycaon [Lycan: Wolf: Dog: Canis]; the myth varies in such details.She was believed to be one of the followers of Artemis (Diana for the Romans) who attracted Zeus. Many versions of Callisto's story survive. According to some writers, Zeus transformed himself into the figure of Artemis to pursue Callisto, and she slept with him believing Zeus to be Artemis.She became pregnant and when this was eventually discovered, she was expelled from Artemis's group, after which a furious Hera, the wife of Zeus, transformed her into a bear, although in some versions, Artemis is the one to give her an ursine form]During the 1st millennium BC, Beta Ursae Minoris (Kochab) was the bright star closest to the celestial pole, but it was never close enough to be taken as marking the pole, and the Greek navigator Pytheas in ca. 320 BC described the celestial pole as devoid of stars. In the Roman era, the celestial pole was about equally distant between Polaris and Kochab.[Rev 12: 3 - 4 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."
The sky described as void of stars is essentially the time between the exit of Draco and The Ursae Group entering the sky]
Precession will next point the north celestial pole at stars in the northern constellation Cepheus. The pole will drift to space equidistant between Polaris and Gamma Cephei ("Errai") by 3000 AD, with Errai reaching its closest alignment with the northern celestial pole around 4200 AD. Iota Cephei and Beta Cephei will stand on either side of the northern celestial pole some time around 5200 AD, before moving to closer alignment with the brighter star Alpha Cephei ("Alderamin") around 7500 ADCephei (Latinised to Alpha Cephei) is the star's Bayer designation. It has a Flamsteed designation of 5 Cephei.It bore the traditional name Alderamin, a contraction of the Arabic phrase الذراع اليمين al-dhirā‘ al-yamīn, meaning "the right arm". In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars._________________In Greek mythology, Cepheus was the name of two rulers of Aethiopia, grandfather and grandson.Cepheus was the son of either Belus, Agenor or Phoenix. ---‐-----------------Belus was the son of Poseidon and Libya. He may also be Busiris, son of Libya, ruler of Egypt, killed by Heracles, although Heracles was born many generations after Belus since he was a great-grandchild of Perseus; see Argive genealogy below.The Bibliotheca also claims that Agenor was Belus' twin brother. Belus ruled in Egypt, and Agenor ruled over Sidon and Tyre in Phoenicia.----------‐---------Zeus saw Agenor's daughter Europa gathering flowers and immediately fell in love with her. Zeus transformed himself into a white bull and carried Europa away to the island of Crete. He then revealed his true identity and Europa became the first queen of Crete. Agenor, meanwhile, sent Europa's brothers, Cadmus and Cilix in search of her, telling them not to return without her. In some versions of the tale, Agenor sends her other brothers as well: Phineus or Thasus (and of course Phoenix in the versions in which Cadmus's father is Agenor).As Europa could not be found, none of the brothers returned. Cadmus consulted the oracle of Delphi and was advised to travel until encountering a cow. He was to follow this cow and to found a city where the cow would lie down; this city became Thebes. Cilix searched for her and settled down in Asia Minor. The land was called Cilicia after him.[The story itself isn't so important but the fine details tell you where and when on the great wheel this took place. During the foundation of Europe at a time when bull paraphernalia was still relevant and relative. And a 'white' bull at that, referring to either the order of the white cloth or the Albion mythos. If the oracle of Delphi or Philadelphia was consulted and Cilix, the Chilique was involved, then you're probably referring to the first habitation of those who crossed over in America. Hence the reference to the Phoenix which can still be found on most flags and emblems. ]If Belus was his father, he had Achiroe, daughter of Nilus, as his mother, and Danaus, Aegyptus, and Phineus as brothers. He was called Iasid Cepheus, pertaining to his Argive ancestry through King Iasus of Argus, father of Io[Long story short, if done the human way, the time of Cephus will be a time of large heads and even larger egos, which will require hard lessons like that of Casseiopeia and Andromeda. HOWEVER, if you entered into the dome of the firmament under this constellation, this might be your ticket to disembark the train. ]_______________Precession will then point the north celestial pole at stars in the northern constellation Cygnus.In Greek mythology, Cygnus has been identified with several different legendary swans. Zeus disguised himself as a swan to seduce Leda, Spartan king Tyndareus's wife, who gave birth to the Gemini, Helen of Troy, and Clytemnestra; Orpheus was transformed into a swan after his murder, and was said to have been placed in the sky next to his lyre (Lyra); and the King Cygnus was transformed into a swan.[In the recent past, this was the time of Romulus and Remus along with the arrival of Carthegenian-Trojans to the coasts of America]In Hinduism, the period of time (or Muhurta) between 4:24 AM to 5:12 AM is called the Brahmamuhurtha, which means "the moment of the Universe"; the star system in correlation is the Cygnus constellation. This is believed to be a highly auspicious time to meditate, do any task, or start the day.--------------------Like Beta Ursae Minoris during the 1st millennium BC, the bright star closest to the celestial pole in the 10th millennium AD, first-magnitude Deneb, will be a distant 7° from the pole, never close enough to be taken as marking the pole, while third-magnitude Delta Cygni will be a more helpful pole star, at a distance of 3° from celestial north, around 11,250 AD. Precession will then point the north celestial pole nearer the constellation Lyra, where the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, Vega, will be a pole star around 14,500 AD, though at a distance of 5° from celestial north.Lyra represents the lyre of Orpheus. Orpheus's music was said to be so great that even inanimate objects such as rocks could be charmed. Joining Jason and the Argonauts, his music was able to quell the voices of the dangerous Sirens, who sang tempting songs to the Argonauts.[Orpheus could charm rocks? Something like lightning possessing stone or Frankensteins monster.]Vega is only about a tenth of the age of the Sun, but since it is 2.1 times as massive, its expected lifetime is also one tenth of that of the Sun; both stars are at present approaching the midpoint of their main sequence lifetimes. Compared with the Sun, Vega has a lower abundance of elements heavier than helium.Based on observations of more infrared radiation than expected, Vega appears to have a circumstellar disk of dust. This dust is likely to be the result of collisions between objects in an orbiting debris disk, which is analogous to the Kuiper belt in the Solar System.[Dusty plasma. Yet if Vega represents a time of falling and fog....this is possibly the time of Shu and Tefnut. ]
Precession will eventually point the north celestial pole nearer the stars in the constellation Hercules, pointing towards Tau Herculis around 18,400 AD.
The celestial pole will then return to the stars in constellation Draco (Thuban, mentioned above) before returning to the current constellation, Ursa Minor. When Polaris becomes the North Star again around 27,800 AD, due to its proper motion it then will be farther away from the pole than it is now, while in 23,600 BC it was closer to the pole.[Wonder why everyone always wanted that golden fleece. A time of heroes or something like that. It is at THIS point that one should look for Akasha and Re-Al for what reality is really trying to tell you.]________________
SOUTH POLE: Option B
At the equator, it is possible to see both Polaris and the Southern Cross. The celestial south pole is moving toward the Southern Cross, which has pointed to the south pole for the last 2000 years or so. As a consequence, the constellation is no longer visible from subtropical northern latitudes, as it was in the time of the ancient Greeks.[Southern Cross perhaps making up the bottom half of the Ankh, the top circle being the north star gate]Around 200 BC, the star Beta Hydri was the nearest bright star to the celestial south pole. Around 2800 BC, Achernar was only 8 degrees from the south pole.Its name means "male water snake", as opposed to Hydra, a much larger constellation that represents a female water snake. It remains below the horizon for most Northern Hemisphere observers.Achernar is the brightest star in the constellation of Eridanus and the ninth-brightest in the night sky. It has the Bayer designation Alpha Eridani, which is Latinized from α Eridani and abbreviated Alpha Eri or α Eri. The name Achernar applies to the primary component of a binary system.Eridu was an ancient city in the extreme south of Babylonia; situated in the marshy regions it was held sacred to the god Enki-Ea who ruled the cosmic domain of the Abyss - a mythical conception of the fresh-water reservoir below the Earth's surface.Eridanus is connected to the myth of Phaethon, who took over the reins of his father Helios' sky chariot (i.e., the Sun), but didn't have the strength to control it and so veered wildly in different directions, scorching both Earth and heaven. Zeus intervened by striking Phaethon dead with a thunderbolt and casting him to Earth.In the next 7500 years, the south celestial pole will pass close to the stars Gamma Chamaeleontis (4200 AD), Carinae, Omega Carinae (5800 AD), Upsilon Carinae, Iota Carinae (Aspidiske, 8100 AD) and Delta Velorum (Alsephina, 9200 AD).----------‐---------Chamaeleon is a small constellation in the deep southern sky. It is named after the chameleon, a kind of lizard. It was first defined in the 16th century.Carina is a constellation in the southern sky. Its name is Latin for the keel of a ship, and it was the southern foundation of the larger constellation of Argo Navis (the ship Argo) until it was divided into three pieces, the other two being Puppis (the poop deck), and Vela (the sails of the ship)Vela is a constellation in the southern sky, which contains the Vela Supercluster. Its name is Latin for the sails of a ship, and it was originally part of a larger constellation, the ship Argo Navis.--------------------From the eightieth to the ninetieth centuries, the south celestial pole will travel through the False Cross. Around 14,000 AD Canopus will have a declination of –82°, meaning it will rise and set daily for latitudes between 8°S and 8°N, and will not rise to viewers north of this latter 8th parallel north.Precession and proper motion mean that Sirius will be a future southern pole star: at 88.4° S declination in the year 66,270 AD; and 87.7° S declination in the year 93,830 AD[Between me and me, I'm willing to bet that these times can be shortened to 6600 AD to 7000 AD and 9300 AD to 9900 AD....we haven't been here that long and therefore the south gates won't be closed to the Cannanites that long.]

In Mandaean cosmology, the Pole Star is considered to be auspicious and is associated with the World of Light ("heaven"). Mandaeans face north when praying, and temples are also oriented towards the north. On the contrary, the south is associated with the World of Darkness.

If you want to see Saturn’s rings through an earthly telescope, do it soon. The ringed planet will appear to lose its famed rings soon! Right now – especially from the viewpoint of astronomers using small telescopes on Earth – Saturn’s rings are appearing thinner and thinner.
What’s happening? Of course, Saturn’s rings are the same as we’ve always seen them, if viewed from a vantage point in space. But, as seen from Earth, Saturn’s angle of tilt toward Earth places the rings edge-on from our vantage point approximately every 13 to 15 years. And Saturn’s are remarkably flat. When they’re turned precisely edge-on to us, they’ll seem to disappear! That will happen next around March of 2025.
Solar maximum has only just officially begun. But now, some scientists are warning that the sun's activity won't actually peak until after this explosive phase is over and we enter the solar "battle zone."
This relatively understudied phase of the solar cycle, where giant coronal holes emerge on the sun, could end up being disastrous for Earth-orbiting satellites, which have exponentially multiplied since the last solar cycle, experts warn.
Solar maximum has only just officially begun. But now, some scientists are warning that the sun's activity won't actually peak until after this explosive phase is over and we enter the solar "battle zone."
This relatively understudied phase of the solar cycle, where giant coronal holes emerge on the sun, could end up being disastrous for Earth-orbiting satellites, which have exponentially multiplied since the last solar cycle, experts warn.
In addition to the 11-year sunspot cycle that most people are familiar with, the sun also has a longer 22-year "Hale cycle," which is the time it takes for our home star's magnetic field to flip and then flip back again.
[ Note: 11, 22, 33, etc are 'doorway' numbers]
During this longer cycle, large bands of magnetism, known as Hale cycle bands, emerge at the sun's poles and slowly migrate toward the sun's equator, independent from the sun's wider magnetic field.
A new band emerges in both of the sun's hemispheres during each solar maximum and lasts until the end of the next sunspot cycle, when the bands reach the sun's equator and disappear in what researchers call a "solar terminator" event.
This means that during the first half of a sunspot cycle (from solar minimum to solar maximum) there is only one Hale cycle band in each of the sun's hemispheres. But during the second half of a cycle (after solar maximum), there are two bands in each hemisphere.
[Note: 2 in each hemisphere. 2/2 or year of 4]
The overlap of these giant bands is what governs the sunspot cycle. When there is only one band in each hemisphere, there is a magnetic imbalance across the sun with weaker magnetic fields near the equator, allowing the number of black spots to increase around our home star's waist.

"Martin Hatch. Warlin Door....ain't shit changed but a name. It's all the same, same. Just a game."
Janus ( Latin: Ianvs ) is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces. The month of January is named for Janus (Ianuarius). According to ancient Roman farmers' almanacs, Juno was mistaken as the tutelary deity of the month of January, but Juno is the tutelary deity of the month of June.
Janus presided over the beginning and ending of conflict, and hence war and peace. The gates of a building in Rome named after him (not a temple, as it is often called, but an open enclosure with gates at each end) were opened in time of war, and closed to mark the arrival of peace.
As a god of transitions, he had functions pertaining to birth and to journeys and exchange, and in his association with Portunus, a similar harbor and gateway god, he was concerned with travelling, trading and shipping.
Janus had no flamen or specialised priest (sacerdos) assigned to him, but the King of the Sacred Rites (rex sacrorum) himself carried out his ceremonies. Janus had a ubiquitous presence in religious ceremonies throughout the year. As such, Janus was ritually invoked at the beginning of each ceremony, regardless of the main deity honored on any particular occasion.
*"For centuries, the Holy Doors have been opened at the four Roman basilicas to usher in memorable years for the church.
In modern times, Pope John Paul II also celebrated a jubilee in 2000, at the time writing about the significance of the Holy Doors pertaining to one’s faith."

Saturn (Cronus) was especially celebrated during the festival of Saturnalia each December, perhaps the most famous of the Roman festivals, a time of feasting, role reversals, free speech, gift-giving and revelry. The Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum housed the state treasury and archives (aerarium) of the Roman Republic and the early Roman Empire. The planet Saturn and the day of the week Saturday are both named after and were associated with him.
The Roman land preserved the remembrance of a very remote time during which Saturn and Janus reigned on the site of the city before its foundation: the Capitol was called mons Saturnius. The Romans identified Saturn with the Greek Cronus, whose myths were adapted for Latin literature and Roman art. In particular, Cronus's role in the genealogy of the Greek gods was transferred to Saturn. As early as Andronicus (3rd century BC), Jupiter was called the son of Saturn.
Saturn is associated with a major religious festival in the Roman calendar, Saturnalia. Saturnalia celebrated the harvest and sowing, and ran from December 17–23. During Saturnalia, the social restrictions of Rome were relaxed. The figure of Saturn, kept during the year with its legs bound in wool, was released from its bindings for the period of the festival.
The revelries of Saturnalia were supposed to reflect the conditions of the lost "Golden Age" before the rule of Saturn was overthrown, not all of them desirable, except as a temporary relief from civilized constraint. The Greek equivalent was the Kronia.
Little evidence exists in Italy for the cult of Saturn outside Rome, but his name resembles that of the Etruscan god Satres. The potential cruelty of Saturn was enhanced by his identification with Cronus, known for devouring his own children.
He was thus used in translation when referring to gods from other cultures the Romans perceived as severe; he was equated with the Carthaginian god Baal Hammon, to whom children were sacrificed, and to Yahweh, whose Sabbath was referred to as Saturni dies, "Saturn's day," in a poem by Tibullus, who wrote during the reign of Augustus; eventually this gave rise to the word "Saturday" in English.
The identification with Ba'al Hammon later gave rise to the African Saturn, a cult that enjoyed great popularity until the 4th century. Besides being a popular cult it also had the character of a mystery religion and required child sacrifices.
[Note:
The name Satre may be only an Etruscan translation of Saturnus, or Saturnus may derive from the Etruscan; it is also possible that the two deities are unrelated. No image in Etruscan art has been identified as Satre: "this deity remains a riddle."]

satyr, is a male nature spirit with ears and a tail resembling those of a horse, as well as a permanent, exaggerated erection. Early artistic representations sometimes include horse-like legs, but, by the sixth century BC, they were more often represented with human legs.
Comically hideous, they have mane-like hair, bestial faces, and snub noses and they always are shown naked. Satyrs were characterized by their ribaldry and were known as lovers of wine, music, dancing, and women.
They were companions of the god Dionysus and were believed to inhabit remote locales, such as woodlands, mountains, and pastures. They often attempted to seduce or rape nymphs and mortal women alike, usually with little success. They are sometimes shown masturbating or engaging in bestiality.
Sagittarius (♐︎) ( romanized: Toxótēs, Latin for "archer") is the ninth astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Sagittarius and spans 240–270th degrees of the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun transits this sign between approximately November 22 and December 21. Greek mythology associates Sagittarius with the centaur Chiron, who mentored Achilles, a Greek hero of the Trojan War, in archery.

Starting on Dec. 24, the pontiff will open a series of five Holy Doors throughout the Vatican, including St. Peter’s Basilica, plus Rome’s three other basilicas to commence next year’s Catholic Church jubilee — a joyful commemoration of faith that normally occurs every 25 years.
The door at St. Peter’s was sealed shut by a wall of bricks since the Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy in 2016 and, on Dec. 2, those were ripped down to ready the door for opening as part of the rite of “recognition.”
After that Christmas Eve ritual, Pope Francis will open a symbolic door inside the Roman prison Rebibbia on Dec. 26, the feast of St. Stephen.
It will be the first time a pope has opened a Holy Door at a prison, reported the Denver Catholic.
The objective of opening the doors later this month is to usher in a year “renewed in hope” as Christians find Christ as the “door of our salvation,” Pope Francis wrote in a proclamation, or “bull of indication,” for the 2025 year-long celebration.
On Sunday, Dec. 29, Pope Francis will open the Holy Door at Rome’s Basilica Saint John Lateran, of which he is also the bishop.
Then, on New Year’s Day — also a holy day of obligation, the Solemnity of Mary — the Holy Door at the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major outside the Vatican in Rome will be opened.
Lastly, on Sunday, Jan. 5, Pope Francis will open the fifth and final Holy Door at the Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome.
The Catholic tradition of celebrating a jubilee began in the 1300s and was initially stretched out every 100 years rather than 25.
