AAL’S LABYRINTH HISTORY An Alternative Viewpoint…..contd. 16.

7000 BCE         THE GREAT MOTHER manifesting in three aspects. This TRIPLE GODDESS is known in:-

                            Egypt as                        Neith/ Isis

                            Sumaria as                    Inanna

                            Babylon as                    Ishtar

                            Canaan as                      Astarte/Anath

                            Urgarit as                      Asherah consort of Yahweh

                            Crete as                         Rhea.

                            Greece as                      Demeter (mother of Persephone)

                            The Great Mother Goddess is known between now and fifth millennium BCE and there are images of her in Anatolian villages in Turkey. This is the Neolithic or Late Stone Age and the time of the earliest known permanent villages.

6,600 BCE        GEMINIAN AGE begins and the now A definite dual condition of man is symbolized in the myth and constellation of the twins, Castor and Pollux. The chief cult of this age is that of the Serpent, symbol and guardian of ancient cosmic power and wisdom. The symbolism can be seen in Quetzalcoatl the Feathered Serpent god of the American Indians, and in the Dragon of many world mythologies. This power and wisdom are encapsulated in the concept of the Kundalini of India, and in the Uraeus of Egyptian pharaohs. 

                            This world age probably marks the development of writing, along with the worship of twin gods, such as seen in the Egyptian Set and Horus who will fight for supremacy in Egypt but for now rule together in unison until 4867 BCE.

                            HORUS & SETH two Ancient Egyptian gods of the north and the south, rule in unison and will rule together until 4867 BCE.

                            At the Equinoxes, the luminous bridge of the Milky Way now links the constellations of GEMINI and SAGITTARIUS across the vault of the skies; thus the Milky Way over-arches the Equinoctial Points. It is the ‘Golden Age’, said to be ruled by the Greek Saturn/Kronos (Sumerian Enki-Ea) until war broke out between Kronos of the Titans, and Zeus of the Olympians. This war provoked a massive world flood and brought about the end of this Golden Age. Kronos or Enki-Ea will be banished to Eridu (Canopis) as a result. This event may be another of a series of global ‘deluges’, or it may be another version of the Egyptian Horus/Seth battle.

                            As Gemini and Sagittarius mark the Equinoxes, then Pisces and Virgo mark the Solstices and so humans are now existing in the mutable cross of the heavens. As the Milky Way forms a bridge between the Equinoxes, it connects earth and heaven in an intimate way. Open communications between earth, represented in the zodiac or ecliptic belt, and the heavens of the greater cosmos is established. Thus gods and humans can communicate more easily in this ‘Golden Age’. It is an exceptional time and circumstance, living at the crossroads of the Ecliptic and Equator, the crossroads of the Ecliptic and Galaxy and may well be the time that the myth of the constellation of Cygnus the swan was laid down.

                            The Poles of the world axis fall between the North pole star Eltanin cDraco ‘on the dry earth’ and the South pole star Canopus, ‘in the depths of the waters’. It is theorized by some authors that the ancient concept of the ‘world’ was more of the cosmos and that earth or the livable land, was a reference to the zodiac belt. Everything above, that is to the north of the ecliptic, was on dry land and everything below it, that is to the south of the ecliptic, was in the waters below.

                            The star Canopus is called by the Arabs the ‘heart of the south’ or ‘Canopus Ponderosus’, heavy-weighing Canopus. Thus is could be related to the heavy or plumb-bob star of the South Pole in the ‘waters below’. In the Dendra zodiac, Hathor is termed ‘the lady of every heart circuit’, and the determinative sign for ‘heart’ is the plumb bob hanging from the line of the Egyptian surveying device, the ‘merkhet’. The Egyptian goddess Hathor (Hat Hor - house of Horus) rules the axis of the world.

6500                    Settlement at CATAL HUYUK is established near a field of obsidian in Anatolia (Turkey).   There are shrines decorated with bull’s horns among other things, and small statues of naked women presumed to be symbolic of the mother goddess. The figurines of women increased with settled agrarian living, replacing the dominance of men figures during the hunting and gathering phase of human development.  Perhaps here is the beginning of the ancestors of Greek Demeter the corn goddess.

6400                    OSIRIS & THOTH come out of the south where Osiris and Thoth were worshipped as moon gods of the star cult. They meet a population worshipping the sun at dawn (Re) and at twilight (Atum). Osiris introduces the lunar calendar of Thoth, which began at the Autumn Equinox for the sun worshippers. According to the Chaldean religion the sun god was the offspring of the moon god. Sun worship was Semitic.

Saturn & Neptune: friend or foe.

Life would be very boring without something new to learn each day. Saturn in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces brings us this opportunity.

Saturn the Planetary Lord of Capricorn and Aquarius, personifies self-imposed discipline as well as the boundaries and borders imposed on our activities by other people and external circumstances. Saturn also represents order, duty and responsibilities that we experience in our lives. Saturn deals with the ‘real’, and with the perceived world of hard facts and practicalities; with the measurements of tangible forms. Saturn also represents the disciple attempting to climb the mountain of self mastery.

Neptune is the planetary Lord of Pisces and personifies freedom from boundaries, boarders and self-imposed discipline. Neptune rules the intangible world of the raging sea, and those hidden depths of myth, imagination and intuitive feelings. Neptune promotes access to worlds beyond Saturn, worlds that are obtained in dreams, through media and visions; through mystical pursuits or more negatively through the consumption of drugs and alcohol. Mastery comes from being aware that the cosmos is infinite and the individual but a small part of this.

Saturn and Neptune are seemingly contradictory energies and are in a difficult ‘square’ relationship with each other over an extended period of time from November 2015 to October 2016. These two energies seem to be at the opposite ends of the spectrum of experience, so the usual interpretation of these two meeting in a difficult relationship is, chaos, deep sadness and confusing, living in a distorted world and experiencing difficult relationships.

But before we get too depressed about the possibilities of meaning, we must remember to take into account the signs that each planet is occupying at the time of their contact. The sign indicates what kind of environment the planetary energy is working in and thus modified by. Saturn is fairly happy and content in Sagittarius because here he meets with the influence of Jupiter the ruler of Sagittarius and this softens Saturn’s harshness to allow for constructive outcomes in the world.

Neptune is very strong in his at home sign of Pisces because he/she is the ruler of this sign and can therefore be itself most easily and unencumbered. Pisces traditional ruler is Jupiter also.

As we can see, the great benefic Jupiter, of generosity and laughter, is interceding here to make things less traumatic than would otherwise be experienced.

However, Sagittarius and Pisces are signs that seldom see ‘eye to eye’ in the mundane world, in spite of their shared rulership of Jupiter. Sagittarius is orthodox religion or belief system; Pisces wants to experience something more in the expanded universe of mystical philosophy.

Saturn is Sagittarius says, stop meandering about the place and give better focus to your knowledge and understanding of life, but don’t get too rigid or pedantic.

Neptune says, remember to dance a little, to dream a bit and to put your finer thoughts and feelings to good use without totally going ‘off the planet’ that so carefully nurtures us, even though things can get pretty harsh at times.

For many of us it is going to be difficult to reconcile the energies of these two planetary bodies during their ‘square dance’ from November 2015 to October 2016. We have only just begun to feel their influence as the aspect builds to crescendo.  There are sure to be difficult circumstances to deal with and completely confusing relationships with people to negotiate; these have to be lived through, all of course dependent on the strength of these planetary bodies in the individual natal chart. There will be some lonely and isolating times to get through and some injustices to face up to, such circumstances needing us to stretch and become greater than we were before the incident. The world is full of such achievements.

So, instead of suffering uselessly, let us apply kindness and humanitarian virtues in a disciplined and practical way, in order to give both the planetary energies the opportunity for positive expression. In this way most of us should come out the other end a little better off even if somewhat worn around the edges.

In spite of what the corporations and politicians say, there is a greater driving force behind our little world, albeit not one we would readily recognise for it is distant and cosmic. Both planets deal with the unknown and hidden side of life, both planets deal with arcane knowledge. In the end they need each other; one to give definition and form to the other’s dreams and visions of utopia, one to help us move beyond what has encased us in the past.

If Saturn and Neptune cannot work together, then great clashes of struggle can be expected and drugs, alcohol and even murder be the order of the day. But rather let us teach dance and show the way to better living and loving. This is a struggle to follow though without losing hope and sense of direction or being caught up in selfish self-indulgence. Saturn and Neptune contacts can only create confusion if there is no ability to respond either artistically or spiritually to their combined energies. This is because Neptune asks us to reach beyond everyday consideration and if one can’t, then only confusion, sadness, loneliness and loss prevails, due to lack of understanding.

If you are a Sagittarian, you will probably experience your nicely defined world of this current time, being intermittently upset by certain people pushing their alternative reality upon you. Expect some confusing and awkward moments or even lengthy periods of time, when this is happening, but cool your fire and try to see other possibilities.

If you are a Piscean, your increasing sensitivity to the unseen, over the coming year, is likely to feel quite challenged on occasions by all that is practical and orthodox. These are times when you might be required, even unnecessarily, to justify yourself, your dreams and your utopian ideals. Avoid letting such situations get the better of you and your sensitivities. Continue to strive for a physical manifestation of what you feel in your heart to be the truth.

Division and contradiction must not be allowed to lead us into self-righteous fanaticism or encourage us to descend into morbid self-pity. The martyr complex does not serve anyone.

High standards and respect for other people and alternate views to our own, must be encouraged rather than feeling mistrustful and victimised. One’s own inner fears should not be projected on to others. Using escape through drugs and fantasy are likely to exacerbate the situation rather than heal or bring relief.

Hard work, well directed, will save the day. Look to tried and true principles to guide your living.

 Efficiency and organization need to be emphasised over cunning and devious tactics.

Avoid being resentful, whilst searching for the truth of constructive values tinged with compassionate understanding. This will help us to navigate through a sometimes bewildering maze of hurt and confusion, as ideals and reality come into conflict.

Structured and ordered thinking helps us to handle the fuzziness of the day and give better and more positive shape to our ideals, imagination and intuitive feelings.

Let us listen to the old and ancient philosophers, whilst judging carefully on those whose only aim is to block our progress in unfolding our sensitive and spiritual faculties. Let us avoid scandalous and anti-social behaviour. Let us work for the good of all, so that we can avert social downfall, either personal or in our community. Let us be wary of our thoughts, actions and plans in those moments of confusion, rather than acting out unthinkingly on any silly, compulsive want or need, such as the chasing of personal sense satisfaction without thinking about the consequences.

AAL’S LABYRINTH HISTORY An Alternative Viewpoint…..contd. 15.

9000 BCE       JERICHO on the Jordan River in Palestine, becomes a mud-brick town around this time. It is where the mother goddess, a triad of ‘high’ gods, and a fertility cult are followed. Jarmo is the equivalent ancient town in Mesopotamia. These are pre-pottery Neolithic cultures using stone tools and vessels

c9000             GOBEKLI TEPE TEMPLE, in Turkey, it is the oldest temple known and part of a huge complex built on a previously used site. The construction is in a circle and contains ‘Tau’ shaped monoliths with low relief carvings of animals upon them. This temple will be discovered in 1963 CE but not excavated till 2000 CE at which point it will turn previous ideas on human evolution upside down. For unknown reasons the very large site was deliberately backfilled and buried after 2000 years usage.

8800               SILVER AGE ruled by the constellation CANCER begins, and the cult of the mother-goddess reigns. There starts the emergence of vast tracts of land from under the northern ice sheets, whilst the duality of human nature becomes more emphasized and reflected in sex as the material nature of humanity begins to dominate the spiritual nature.  Around 8000 BCE is postulated as the time of the great biblical flood and of moon worship and is generally thought to be the time of the final retreat of the glaciers; up to this point the Sahara desert of Africa was covered in savannah.

                       The first agricultural settlements in the Mesopotamian Valley of the Middle East begin to appear. There are Amorites in the North, Elamites in the East and Sumerians in the South. Sumerian settlements will develop into city-states which will eventually coalesce into a nation. By The Aryo-Egyptian people will have returned to Egypt by about 8000 BCE, from their refuge in the Arabian mountains and settle near Abydos. They will resurrect the civilization of Ancient Egypt.

7500               OSIRIS now rules in Ancient Egypt until about 6900 BCE at which time the double rule of Horus and Seth will take over. The corresponding dawn star at the Vernal Equinox is the brightest shield star of constellation Orion, and the North Pole star is iHerculis.

7000 BCE      ORPHEUS is the 8th reincarnation of Thoth in Helles (Greece) and he weaves a magical network of music to feed the souls of the people. Thousands of years later the worship of Orpheus will be seen in the Orphic and Eleusian Mystery schools of classical Greece. The Egyptian man-god Thoth will become known to the classical Greeks as Hermes Trimegistos, a name that distinguishes him from their own lesser god Hermes.

                       This time marks the beginning of settlement in The Faiyum oasis of Egypt, the location of Lake Moeris. The Faiyuim or She-resy, ‘The Southern Lake’, is a fertile depression containing the lake, Mer-wer ‘The Great Lake’, which is called in Greek, ‘Moeris’, and later, Birket Qarum. The chief deity of this area is Sobek the crocodile god. The Faiyium is also the area of the earliest known pyramid development. Anciently known as the ‘Land of Roses’ the Faiyum, was inhabited by a sea people, the ‘Atlanteans,’ who passed on their wisdom and star knowledge to the people we have come to know as the Ancient Egyptians. The god Ptah [Greek Vulcan] is associated with the early architecture of this area, as is Osiris in his crocodile form of Sobek representing cyclic renewal.

                       SEBEK/SOBEK: (GK: Suchos) the Ancient Egyptian crocodile divinity who will be the patron of the kings of the 13^th Dynasty. A live crocodile is kept in a lake attached to the chief sanctuary, he is called ‘Petesuchos’, ‘He who belongs to Suchos (Sebek)’. The crocodile is held to be an incarnation of the god who in turn is the son of Neith. Sebek was the Demiurge who, on the day of creation, issued from the dark waters, where until then he had reposed hidden in order to arrange the world. Sebek’s principal sanctuary is in Shedet (GK: Crocodilopolis) in the Fayyum. Far in the future 20^th century CE, on the shores of Lake Victoria-Nyanza, an old crocodile called Lutembi will still be venerated by the local inhabitants.

                       NEITH: the triple goddess of Sais in Egypt, also called Anatha, Ath-enna, Athene, Medusa. The name means ‘I have come from myself’. She is the world body, the ‘Primal Abyss’ from which the sun first rose, ‘the cow who gave birth to Ra’. She is known to the Greeks as Nete, one of the original trinity of Muses at Delphi. In the Bible she is called Asenath (Isis-Neith) Great Goddess of the city of Aun or On.

                       CHEDDER MAN: In the land later to become known as England this ancient man is living in the ‘Cheddar Gorge’ cave. He has the same genetic makeup as a man living in the 20^th century CE.

Orpheus playing the sounds of the universe

[Byzantine Museum Athens]

                   The Lyre of Orpheus was placed in the sky after his death. The major star of the constellation Lyre, is Wega, which sings out the music of the Cosmos and is the apex of the sun’s way.

HOPE in dark places

As an astrologer, I know of the pain people suffer. 

As a Rosicrucian Mystic, 

I am sometimes granted the understanding of 

why this should be so.

Over the entrance to the ancient temple of 

the sun god Apollo and his daughter Demeter, 

was the directive to ‘Know Thyself’. 

This is the first step to understanding 

Life, the Universe and Everything

as we move towards 2050.

Looking towards the future for us all, try this -

HALLOWEEN

Spooky Halloween Everyone. Time to contact your ancestors.

The Sun is now at approximately 7 degrees of the zodiac sign Scorpio and opposite the star Hamal in the constellation of Aries.

Do you know the difference between the zodiac signs and the constellations that have the same names?

The pathway of the Sun around the Earth [as seen from Earth] is called the Ecliptic. The Ecliptic circle is divided into 12 divisions of 30 degrees each. Each 30 degree section was given the name of a zodiac sign, Aries, Taurus, Gemini etc. This was to assist in the location of planets and how to interpret their influence on the beings and organisms that inhabit the planet Earth.

The constellations are groups of stars that lie closest to this Ecliptic belt. Our ancestors gave the groups of stars mythological characters that hold knowledge to help us on our way to self discovery. Luckily humans cannot yet destroy the outer space that holds the stars. The wisdom of the ancients was deep. It is the constellations that were given zodiac names originally and later these names were transferred to the path of the Sun, the Ecliptic circle.

It is quite possible that ‘Halloween’ is the remnants of the ancient Celtic Festival of Samp'in meaning the fire of peace (of death)- and gave emphasis to the star Hamal located in the head of the constellation of the Ram. In ancient Egypt this constellation was the Goose known as the ‘Great Cackler’.

Hamal is associated with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad, before the Deluge of history. These king’s reigns coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal followed by Alcyone, Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algedi, Deneb Algedi, and Scheat.

Greek temples at various places between 1580-360 BCE were oriented to the star Hamel c.Aries, those temples of Zeus and Athene being especially favoured.

The mythological Sun hero fled on the back of a Ram with his sister Helle to Colchis in order to escape the wrath of their stepmother.  Helle fell off and was drowned in the sea. At the end of the journey the Ram was sacrificed and the hung fleece turned to gold and became the object of the Argonauts' quest.

AAL’S LABYRINTH HISTORY An Alternative Viewpoint…..contd. 14.

10,400 BCE   TEP ZEPI or the First Time of OSIRUS, a time when the gods first fraternized with hu-mans. This was achieved via the Pharaohs who were the divine link between the gods and the custodians of the laws and wisdom on Earth. Another interpretation says that this is the time when that the gods with-drew from Earth and the pharaoh became their spokes person on Earth.

                       The celestial stars of Orion’s Belt align with the Giza Pyramid marking the start of a great cycle or the current ‘Great Year’ of approximately 26,000 solar years.  Possibly the design and building of the Great Pyramid encapsulates the laws of this ‘First Time’ or ‘Tep Zepi’. This present ‘Great Cycle’ will reach the climax of its half-way point about 2550 CE. 

This is also the postulated time for civil war in Egypt and the possible birthing of a new nation out of a disintegrating world; one of a multi-racial society coping with planetary changes of earth quakes, sinking continents, great floods, movement in the alignment of Earth’s polar axis. Out of this chaos will emerge a leader called Thoth and the beginning of history as we know it.

Between 10,300 and 8,500 BCE there is evidence of plaster being used as an architectural material.

10,000 BCE   MESOLITHIC CULTURE. This is the approximate beginning of the ‘Middle Stone Age’ or transition phase between Palaeolithic and Neolithic eras. This period rises following a climate change after the retreat of the last glacial sheet. It saw the development of agriculture. Metallurgy is practiced in the highlands of eastern Anatolia.  Europe is invaded by the Azilians, descendants of the Iberians.

                       Around now is the time of the destruction of the ancient continent of MU, the original Motherland of humans, and which now becomes the bed of the Pacific Ocean. This culture had been built on 100,000 years of study and experience. The MU inhabitants, the Naacals took their knowledge of Cosmic Forces and creation, inscribed on clay tablets, to India and to Mexico. These tablets record the ‘Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu’, also known as Lemuria, and indicate an original creating force from which four great forces emanate and which are the executors of the original impulse.  Possibly these are the same as the four great archangels of Christianity, the guardians of the four corners of the universe, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Gabriel.

                       According to Scott-Elliot the Lemurians occupied Earth 230 million years ago as the third root race. 100,000 years ago was the existence of the sixth Atlantean sub-race, the Akkadians.

9600 BCE      War between the antediluvian Athenians (worshipers of Athena) and the Atlantians (followers of Poisdon) results in cataclysms and destruction of the races. This is the deluge of Anti-deluvian mythos.

                       The Athenians are probably the Bear Race from Ursa Major and the Atlantians a race from Arcturus or Spica.

                       As the fourth and final catastrophe of Atlantis, Poseidonis, the remaining island of Atlantis, is submerged. The tidal wave caused by this event again temporarily submerges Egypt and brings to an end the rule of Divine Dynasties there and the ‘Lodge of Initiates’ transfers its quarters to other lands.

                       The sinking of Poseidonis/Atlantis will be recorded in Plato’s ‘Timaeus’ as taking place in 9564 BCE. A vast tidal wave is recorded as sweeping over Egypt, and a land mass rises to create the Sahara Desert where a shallow sea had been before. For 1500 years the 3 pyramids will stand alone watching primitive tribes come and go before the Aryo-Egyptian people returned from their refuge in the Arabian mountains.

                       The second THOTH now sets up a mystery school in Egypt for the purpose of resurrecting the ancient wisdom. This knowledge will be recorded in relief inscriptions and in papyrus manuscripts in sacred character but of common tongue. This is the Thoth that became designated as ‘Trice Greatest’ by later philosophers. Each incarnation of the god Thoth/Hermes in his turn is taken to represent a new reign of priesthood. The language of the first priesthood is no longer spoken by this time.

                       THOTH II is also known as ENOCH, 7^th generation from Adam and great grandfather of Noah. As a Great Sage of Atlantis, Enoch is a collective name for the inner masters, high initiates or King-priests who are guardians of the light of sacred wisdom knowledge of the gods. Thoth II is a sage of Anu (On/Heliopolis) and one of the Ennead centred here, a group of priests of great wisdom and guardians of time as measured by the stars.

                       Artaud in 1858 will write that, in the mystic sense, Thoth or the Egyptian Hermes, was the symbol of the ‘Divine Mind’; he was the incarnated ‘Thought’, the living ‘Word’, the primitive type of the ‘Logos’ of Plato, and the ‘Word’ of the Christians. The Trismegistic treatises to be discovered in the 11^th Century CE are the later recordings of his divine and mystic knowledge.  In accordance with the shift of the centre of power, Thoth was probably transposed to Anu (Heliopolis) from Khemennu (Hermopolis) where he had governed the earlier Ogdoad.

                       ENOCH the Biblical Patriarch is sometimes identified with the Great Thoth II. Enoch is the ancestor of the Phoenicians who built the Great Pyramid and called it ‘The Pillar of Enoch’. Enoch is attributed with recording the ‘Book of Enoch’, which is based on the original book given by the angel Raphael to Adam who was the first ‘Thoth’. The ‘Book of Enoch’ is a treatise on 15 stars, which is possibly the same as the future Ptolemy’s 15 stars of the first magnitude. Enoch’s book also records the importance of 15 herbs and 15 stones with 15 figures engraved upon them. (Note that this number is an astrological half cycle of Moon and Saturn, and reduces to 6 the number of creation.)

                       According to Genesis, Enoch lived 365 years (a multiple of the Solar cycle) and is stated to be the founder of Astrology.  He wrote 366 books about his visions and voyages.  The ‘Book of Enoch’ is said to be a great influence on the ‘New Testament’ and will be held as a canonical book by the early Christian church fathers in the future. It holds information on angels and their control of nature, on man and the future. The ‘Book of Enoch’ will be discredited c300 CE by the founding Church Fathers but accepted again by Augustine c420 CE. No outward mention of the book will be found in either the east or west after the 9^th century CE.

                       Enoch also wrote the ‘Book of Jeou’, which is a cosmology and a guide for souls. These works will be used by the Gnostics around 0 CE, and are heavily based on number correspondence as a code and symbolism for mystical principles.

                       The wisdom of Thoth will descend in fragments to the 20^th century CE, as a collection of texts gathered under the head of ‘Corpus Hermeticum’. This knowledge has backed the Hebrew faith and formed the basis of the various Gnostic religions and will do so for the Christian faith to come. The ‘Corpus Hermeticum’ will be first collected and recorded as one body of work in a Latin text about 150 CE but the sacred ‘Books of Hermes’ were originally composed during the reign of the Gods, preceding that of the first human king, Menes.  The Greek Stobaeus will in the future preserve a fragment of the ‘Hermetic’ writings called, ‘The Sacred Book’, in a volume called ‘The Virgin of the World’.
