There has been an underground stream of worship of Mary Magdalene for millennia, supported by secret orders. These occult traditions see her as wisdom keeper. Magdalene is assumed by some to be interchangable with goddesses like Sophia, Isis, and Inanna. In his book ‘Mary Magdalene The Illuminator’, popular author William Henry tells us: “Plutarch states that Isis was called Sophia. She’s also called Astarte, the goddess worshipped by Solomon. Each of these goddesses, in turn is the Babylonian goddess Inanna. Schonfield concludes that there is no doubt that the beautiful woman’s head of the Templars represents Sophia in her female and Isis aspect — and she was linked with Mary Magdalene in the Christian interpretation”. The most famous occultist of the 20th-century, Manly Hall, explains in his book ‘The Secret Teachings of All Ages’ that Isis “metamorphized” into the Virgin Mary. Some scholars have tied the Virgin Mary to Magdalene. Theologian Cyril of Jerusalem held that the Virgin Mary was one and the same as Magdalene. In their book ‘Jesus and the Lost Goddess’, Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy assert that the Virgin Mary and Magdalene in the Gospel accounts represent — respectively, the higher Sophia and the fallen Sophia — aspects of the same character in the Sophia myth. Magdalene also shares several similarities with Inanna, who was one of the most important deities in Mesopotamia. Inanna crossed the “Seven Gates” of the underworld similar to the “Seven Gates” of demons in Mary’s initiatory journey. Inanna was described as the “First Serpent Dragon” by Enheduanna. Mary was also closely associated with serpents. The serpent goddess Shahmaran was known as the “Queen of the Serpents”, where ‘mar’ meant “serpent”, but also “Mary” (see the book ‘Magdalene Mysteries’, by Seren Bertrand). The point here is, all these female deities are possibly all the same. To quote the book ‘Magdalene Mysteries’, by Seren Bertrand: “Gnostics call her “higher Sophia”. She’s the celestial feminine divinity, known as the Virgin Mary in the Christian tradition and Inanna, Isis, Ishtar, and thousands of names across every culture of the world, dating back to the dawn of humanity”. In this article, we explore various movies that appear to have characters possibly representing Sophia or Magdalene. We start with possibly one of the most obvious representations of Sophia or Magdalene in the 2014 movie ‘Lucy’. In this movie, the titular character inadvertently gets a ton load of experimental drugs put into her system which causes her to progressively unlock more of her brain power as time goes on. The most obvious reference to Sophia and Magdalene is the name of the movie itself, which is Lucy — short for Lucifer. Luciferianism is said to be the worshipping of the entity representing the Morning Star as understood by ancient cultures such as the Greeks. The Morning Star has most traditionally been associated with Venus. In his book ‘The Gnostics and Their Remains’, Charles King equates the Gnostic Sophia with Venus Anadyomene (Venus Rising from the Sea) which appears on ancient magical gem stones as a naked damsel. Manly Hall explains that Venus and Isis were names for Lucifer, telling us: “Being visible in the sky at sunset it was called Vesper, and as it rose before the Sun, it was called the Star of the Morning or Lucifer, meaning Light Bearer. Because of this relation to the Sun, the planet was also called Venus, Astarte, Aphrodite, Isis, and The Mother of the Gods” (see his book ‘The Secret Teachings of All Ages’). Magdalene was also associated with Venus. Rachel Geschwind (a professor in the Art History department at Youngstown State University) observes that in the 16th-century, paintings like Rossiglio’s ‘Conversion of the Magdalene’ began to give Venus-like characteristics to Magdalene. The explicit links between Magdalene and Venus perhaps point to Mary’s true identity. When observed from Earth, Venus traces a perfect pentagram across the sky every eight years making a pattern of a rose. This is known as the “Rose of Venus” or the “Pentagram of Venus”. Magdalene is sometimes referred to as “The Rose” and those who diligently followed the Magdalene Mysteries were known as the “Initiates of the Rose Line”. In Southern France, Magdalene was known as Mary-Lucifera, connecting her to Lucifer. Isis and Diana were also known as Lucifera (see the book ‘Magdalene Mysteries’, by Seren Bertrand). Sophia’s associated with wisdom and knowledge, representing the pursuit of higher understanding and enlightenment. In the movie ‘Lucy’, Lucy gains extraordinary cognitive abilities. Lucy remarks: “All this knowledge about everything, quantum physics, applied mathematics, the infinite capacity of a cell’s nucleus. It’s all exploding inside my brain, all this knowledge”. This newfound knowledge and understanding allow her to transcend human limitations, which can be seen as a quest for a higher form of wisdom and knowledge, similar to the themes associated with Sophia. One of characters in the movie makes a reference to the original ape-like hominid known as “Lucy” which are fossilized remains of a hominid species. Lucy replies: “The first woman was named Lucy. Is that supposed to make me feel better?” Why is this important? Because in some Gnostic cosmologies, Sophia is seen as the earliest emanation from the divine realm. The Russian Orthodox theologian Pavel Alexandrovich Florensky says of Sophia: “Sophia was the first created and the first redeemed”. During one scene, an image of the Kaaba cube is shown. This is curious because the goddess Cybele is etymologically connected to the word “cube” and Cybele was a variation of Sophia. At the end of the movie, Lucy unlocks 100% of her brain and transcends the material world, saying: “I am everywhere”, alluding to her God-like omnipresence. In certain interpretations, particularly within some Gnostic and esoteric traditions, Sophia as the Holy Spirit is considered to be the indwelling divine wisdom that permeates all reality (existing everywhere). The movie draws a connection to the narrative of the fallen Sophia who ascends into a higher realm (the Pleroma) once she has fallen into the material world. Lucy undergoes a symbolic “fall” while held captive, ultimately culminating in her ascension by the movie’s conclusion, literally transcending the material world. Furthermore, in one particular scene where Lucy is meting out death, a person is spotted with a tattoo of the Virgin Mary as Death (the Virgin Mary is Sophia, remember). The Disney character Mary Poppins also shares similarities with Sophia and Magdalene. Jonathan Cott suggests that Mary Poppins embodies the essence of a celestial messenger, taking on the role of Sophia and her divine wisdom. She seizes each moment as a teaching opportunity, imparting lessons on observation, patience, awakening, and the realization of our true selves. Much like the Gnostic depiction of Magdalene, Mary Poppins possesses knowledge of the encompassing universe. Her wisdom conveys the interconnectedness of creation and the capacity to perceive the world as a cohesive whole through genuine self-awareness. In a sense, each individual’s self holds a fragment of this totality, containing it in its entirety. This is akin to the folkloric archetype of Frau Holle in German tradition, usually characterized as the primeval Great Mother responsible for birth, life, and death. Mary Poppins’ magical realm provides a bridge to a profound reality beneath the surface of daily existence. Within the enchanting context of a fairy tale, life’s essence lies in the quest to unearth hidden worlds, uncover treasures, and fulfill extraordinary missions; Pamela Travers conveys that this expedition is fundamentally an inner voyage of self-discovery, encapsulating Mary Poppins’ wisdom, when she states: “Don’t you know” said Mary Poppins compassionately, “that everybody’s got a Fairyland of their own?” Peel back all the layers and Poppins is revealed as a crone imparting the wisdom of the ages, a witch, or wise woman. All her feminine qualities are found in Sophia. The DVD cover for Mary Poppins shows her beside a lamp-post — a metaphor for wisdom and spiritual enlightenment. In his book ‘The Templar Revelation’, popular author Clive Prince tells us: “As Nancy Qualls-Corbett and other recent commentators have pointed out, the depiction of Mary Magdalene in the Gnostic Gospels is that of illuminatrix and illuminator or Mary Lucifer, the Light-bringer — the bestower of wisdom and enlightenment”. The costume that Mary Poppins wears is also red and blue, colours traditionally associated with Magdalene in old art. Sophia and Magdalene could also be the inspiration behind other Disney characters, like The Little Mermaid and Snow White. Popular author Margaret Starbird posits that Disney’s character Ariel is a fusion of Magdalene, Demeter, and Sophia, with the sacred dimension of Ariel being evident through various elements: Her red hair, reminiscent of Magdalene; the inclusion of the painting ‘Magdalene with the Smoking Flame’ in Ariel’s collection of human artifacts (as shown below) and the intriguing notion that Magdalene’s name and lineage can be traced back to mermaids. Ariel lives in the sea under the human world. In some Gnostic traditions, Sophia’s associated with the underworld (or the lower realms) and wanting to break free to a higher realm (the Pleroma). This nicely parallels the story of The Little Mermaid, where Ariel dreams about being part of the human world. Ariel also shares some characteristics that draw parallels to Sophia in the ‘Apocryphon of John’. In the ‘Apocryphon of John’, Sophia’s described as the last Aeon brought into existence by the invisible spirit. In Ariel’s story, she mirrors this position by being the youngest daughter of King Triton. Meanwhile, when we explore the construction of Snow White’s character, it becomes apparent that Disney frames her as Eve. Both Snow White and Eve face temptation. Eve’s tempted by the serpent to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, which leads to her expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Snow White’s tempted by the Wicked Queen to eat a poisoned apple, which leads to her falling into a death-like sleep. Both Snow White and Eve are depicted as innocent and pure characters. Snow White’s described as “the fairest of them all”, emphasizing her beauty and innocence, while Eve is initially depicted as innocent in the Garden of Eden before the fall. Relgious scholar Guy Stroumsa argues that the fall of Sophia is very closely tied to the tradition of Eve. He posits that in Gnostic texts, these two characters are intertwined and a comprehensive understanding of the Sophia narrative can be achieved by examining it in relation to the fall of Eve. In this view, Sophia can be interpreted as representing a Pleromatic version of Eve. The fall and recovery of Sophia is thematically tied to various Disney movies, such as Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeing Beauty. Cinderella has a narrative that certainly aligns with the essence of Sophia. Cinderella narrates a theme that can be traced through the realms of Gnosticism and mystical Christianity, leaving imprints in alchemy, the Grail legends, and cherished fairy tales. Cinderella is the story of the soul’s emergence into the tangible world, her gradual loss of memory regarding her divine origins, and her unceasing quest to comprehend her essence and her connection to the divine source or the world from which she originates. In full awareness of her spiritual identity, she seeks to return to her divine origins. In times of distress, Cinderella, much like Sophia and Persephone, calls out to her mother in the unseen and ‘transcendent’ realm. In her article ‘Sophia or Divine Wisdom’, author Anne Baring posits how ancient mythologies of the sacred alchemical marriage between Sophia and Christ or Isis and Osiris have found a contemporary foothold in stories like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Matrix, and Tron Legacy. In the Disney movie, Tron Legacy, the character that plays Christ is represented by the protagonist Sam (gematrically — the name Sam represents 33, the number of Christ) and Sophia represents the female character Quorra. In the great Valentinian Gnostic text ‘Pistis Sophia’, Christ is sent from a higher realm to bring Sophia back to the Pleroma. Christ enables her to see the light again, bringing her knowledge of the spirit. This is very similar to what happens in Tron Legacy, where Sam descends into the digital world of the Grid from a higher realm to help Quorra escape to a higher world. Meanwhile, in the Disney movie Sleeping Beauty, the sleeping princess, Aurora, is awakened from a deep slumber by the kiss of true love, symbolizing her awakening to a new life. Similarly, in some Gnostic traditions, the concept of Christ saving Sophia represents the awakening and redemption of the soul through divine knowledge and love. Another movie with Sophia and Magdalene undertones is the 2017 movie ‘Infinity Chamber’ (directed by Travis Milroy). In this movie, the protagonist unites with his romantic interest following his escape from a prison-room, and their romantic interest is named “Madeline” who has red hair (a common featue of Magdalene in Renaissance art). The name Madeline is derived from Magdalene. The movie alludes to the Tree of Life in its symbolism that the protagonist sees as he ascends (important since the Tree of Life is connected to Magdalene). The name Magdalene means (at its origin) “doorway of the Great Mother, the Tree of Life and Source of Life” (see the book ‘Magdalene Mysteries’, by Seren Bertrand). Direct comparisons can also be drawn between the most famous female DC and Marvel superheroes and Sophia. Wonder Woman, for example, shares several characteristics with Inanna (as quoted above from Seren Bertrand, Inanna is another name for Sophia). The association between Wonder Woman and Inanna is seen by their iconographical similarities. Both wear armour and both are associated with the 8-pointed star. Wonder Woman has an 8-pointed star on her tiara which is the prime symbol of Inanna and Venus. Furthermore, Wonder Woman’s name is Diana (another name for Inanna). As author DeAnna Emerson tells us: “Inanna’s name was altered to suit new languages. She was called Ishtar, Isis, Astarte, Diana, Venus, Magdalene — one goddess with many names”. Both characters frequently rescue their beloved ones. Wonder Woman must usually save Steve Trevor, her main love interest in the comics. Similarly, Inanna’s compelled to rescue her husband, Tammuz. Wonder Woman also wears a red and blue costume. In his book ‘Gods and Religion of Mesopotamia’, Sebastian Berg tells us: “Inanna was associated with the colours red and blue”. Another comic character that shares the colours red and blue is Captain Marvel. In the 2019 movie ‘Captain Marvel’, there’s a memorable scene where the titular character crash-lands into a Blockbuster store on Earth as she falls from the skies. This somewhat loosely draws a parallel with the fall of Sophia who fell from the Pleroma. Like Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel also has an 8-pointed star that appears on her costume. Another movie with an association to Sophia and Magdalene is the 2015 movie ‘Jupiter Ascending’ (directed by the Wachowski’s). This movie revolves around Jupiter Jones, a young woman unaware of her cosmic heritage, who discovers she’s the genetic reincarnation of the Queen of the Universe (which kind of reminded me of the Queen of Heaven). The protagonist Jupiter shares some paralells with Sophia. Both Jupiter and Sophia have aspects of their identities hidden from them. Jupiter, a seemingly ordinary human, discovers her true heritage and celestial importance. Similarly, Sophia, in certain Gnostic traditions, forgets her divine origins when she descends into the material world and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. In traditional astrology, the planet Jupiter is associated with masculine qualities, but this was not always the case. In his book ‘Questioning the Unquestionable’, James Hogan tells us: “The same thing happened in the Babylonian version, where Ishtar [another name for Inanna or Sophia] was originally Jupiter and became Venus, with Jupiter renamed to Marduk”. In the movie, there’s a moment where Jupiter commands a swarm of bees, hinting at her role as a Queen Bee. It’s worth noting that Inanna, Venus, and Cybele (all variations of Sophia) from mythology have historical associations with bees (see the book ‘Acorns Windows High-Tide Foghat’, by Joshua Morris) and Magdalene was also associated with the Queen Bee in some early sources (see the book ‘Revelations of the Aquarian Age’, by Barbara Hand Clow). Another character that could possibly be representing Sophia or Magdalene is from the 2019 movie ‘Lucy in the Sky’ (directed by Noah Hawley). In the movie’s opening moments, Lucy gazes at Earth from a celestial perspective, evoking a sense of looking down from a higher realm, akin to the way Sophia’s gaze emanated from the Pleroma before her descent into the material world; a subtle reference to this occurs when one character cautions Lucy with the words “don’t fall”, hinting at a parallel to Lucifer’s fall. At the end, Lucy dons a beekeeper suit and tends to bees. In the promotional art, Lucy’s also shown with the Moon at her feet which is an image traditionally tied to the Virgin Mary (and by extension Sophia). The symbolism of Sophia and Magdalene is not limited to movies, but is also prevalent in music videos, esoterically and exoterically. In Katy Perry’s music video ‘Dark Horse’, the singer Katy Perry embodies thematic similarities to Isis. The video features very elaborate Egyptian-inspired visuals, and Katy’s reminiscent of the divine goddess. Her winged costume and regal demeanor draw parallels to the way Isis was traditionally depicted as a symbol of magic and healing. Furthermore, the video’s storyline depicts Katy as a deity who holds the power to transform individuals and objects, akin to Isis’ role as a goddess of transformation and resurrection. While that video is obvious, other videos need more deciphering. In the music video ‘I Bet You Think About Me’, there’s various scenes that one could relate to Sophia. In one scene, the singer (Taylor) is shown in a red dress with 12 lights above her head. The imagery of a woman with 12 lights or stars above her head is found in the Book of Revelation, which describes a woman with a “crown of 12 stars on her head”. This woman is interpreted symbolically and has been associated with the Virgin Mary and other archetypal or allegorical representations. In the video, Taylor sings about a man who dumped her and is now marrying another woman — and so Taylor crashes their wedding. This narative loosely echoes the story of Cybele and her son Attis (the goddess Cybele is another name for Sophia, Isis, and the Virgin Mary). The story goes as follows: Cybele gave birth to a boy and fell in love with her son, but her son loved another woman. In some stories, as Attis is at the wedding altar, Cybele crashes the wedding and supernatually induces maddess upon Attis, causing him to castrate himself. But she felt bad and so resurrected him 3 days later. Attis shares various parallels with Christ (and some scholars suggest that they’re one and the same). This is supported in the video, as the man’s wedding who she crashes is depicted with a halo around his head, symbolic of Christ. In the video, Taylor displaces the man as she topples him from a Tower of Babel-shaped cake. Some medieval drawings show the heavenly spheres as concentric circles, through which men ascend — as if on Jacob’s ladder — to the highest sphere, the Empyrean, on which Christ sits enthroned. The curious thing about these drawings is that they resemble a Tower of Babel-like cake. In Bebe Rexha's music video 'I Got You', the singer Bebe exhibits thematic similarities with Sophia. The lyrics put Bebe in the position of a redeemer, saving the soul, like Christ. In some Gnostic traditions, Sophia is viewed as an entity with Christ-like attributes and a redeemer. At one point in the video, Bebe makes a T-pose with Venus in the background. In his book 'The Saturn Myth', David Talbott describes a celestial phenomeon eons ago that included Venus as a central illuminating star that he connects to the Tower of Babel and the Tree of Life. This celestial phenomeon created the appearance of an 8-pointed star which is apparently where the symbol of Venus as an 8-pointed star comes from. The curious thing about this celestial phenomeon is that it resembled a T-shape and was symbolized by the T-shaped Tanit goddess symbol. Bebe's also dressed all in red which is associated with Venus. Ninsianna (meaning “Red Lady of Heaven” in Sumerian) was the Mesopotamian representation of the planet Venus. An inscription in the temple known as the Birthplace of Isis (who as mentioned by Hall above was another name for Venus) at Dendera tells us that the goddess 'loves the colour red' (see the book 'The Egypt Code', by Robert Bauval). In another music videos called 'Look What You Made Me Do', the singer (Taylor) is shown in such a way that one could connect to Sophia. The video starts with Taylor crossing her arms over her chest as she's resurrected from the dead, reminiscent of certain artistic depictions of Isis. In the subsequent scene, she adorns herself with jewelry, including an 8-pointed star ring. She's then shown seated between two pillars, symbolically resembling the Freemasonry pillars of Jachin and Boaz, associated with the entrance to Heaven. This alludes to her as the Queen of Heaven, a title historically ascribed to Sophia, the Virgin Mary, Inanna, and Isis. Furthermore, her attire in red and the presence of snakes in the imagery draw parallels with Inanna, Isis, and Magdalene, all of whom have a connection to serpents (as said above) and the colour red. In Gnostic traditions, the character of Sophia is said to be very complex and can be interpreted in various ways, but the concept of duality is usually present in most Gnostic cosmologies. This duality is observed in contemporary media and old art. For example, Italian Renaissance sculptor Giovanni Robbia's famous depiction of Adam and Eve as depicted here shows that the face of the serpent in Eden is mirrored on Eve. This suggests that Eve (who some scholars have connected to Sophia) is dualistic (not only taking on her own identity but also that of the serpent in Eden). A more contemporary example of Sophia's duality is seen in the 2016 movie 'Suicide Squad' (directed by David Ayer). In this movie, the character representing Sophia is called June Moon. A June Moon (according to NASA) will be "low in the sky which gives the Moon a rose colour, caused by atmospheric effects". In one interpretation, a June Moon could therefore represent Magdalene who was called "The Rose" while simultaneously being tied to Moon wisdom. In the movie, June opens a jar and a spirit called Enchantress enters her body causing her to have two identities. When she embraces her Enchantress alter-ego, a transformation occurs, turning her into a mystical, dark-haired woman covered in grime and ashes, complete with a crescent Moon symbol on her head appearing reminsicent of Inanna and Isis. It's revealed that she's under someone else's control, as her heart is in their possession. The spirit of the Enchantress is enslaved, serving the one who possesses her heart (akin to the binding of a goetic demon). In this manner, Inanna's alter-ego is the demon Lilith in the Huluppu Tree. Dallas Jenkins' hit drama-series 'The Chosen' also has a story about possession, as Magdalene becomes possessed by the evil demon Lilith. Another movie where a character named June gets possessed is the 2016 movie 'June' (directed by Gustavo Cooper) that follows the story of a 9-year-old child named June who possesses two souls, has supernatural abilities and gets possessed by an evil spirit. There's hints in the movie that June's tied to the Moon. The article was originally much longer, but I thought that people might think I was speculating too much, and so didn’t include many movies. One last example of Inanna or Magdalene in movies is the character Katniss from the Hunger Games series. Perusing the web it seems generally acknowledged that Katniss is representing the goddess. Both characters are known for their remarkable archery skills. Inanna, as a warrior goddess, is sometimes depicted with a bow and arrow, while Katniss’ skill with a bow is a crucial element of her character in The Hunger Games. Both Katniss and Inanna are associated with themes of survival. Inanna’s story includes her descent into the underworld and next her struggle to survive, while Katniss’ narrative revolves around her participation in the Hunger Games and her determination to survive. In the promotional art, Katniss is also shown with wings on her back, similar to Inanna. In conclusion, Sophia, the divine wisdom character of esoteric traditions, has put an indelible mark on the world of cinema through her esoteric representations. Time and again, her character has been interwoven with complex themes and archetypal symbols that transcend conventional storytelling. The concept of the goddess Sophia, with her rich and multifaceted symbolism in Gnostic and esoteric traditions, has indeed found echoes in various forms within the realm of movies. While not always an overt representation, thematic elements and character traits reminiscent of Sophia can be discerned in cinematic narratives and characters. These connections manifest as themes of spiritual awakening, the pursuit of hidden knowledge, the journey from the material to the spiritual, and a potential for redemption and transformation. These subtle allusions to Sophia contribute to the broader tapestry of symbolism and mythological themes that enrich cinematic storytelling, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring and universal quest for transcendence.

Baphomet is a symbol that has generated intrigue and controversy throughout history. It’s associated with occultism, mystery traditions, and the Knights Templar. While its origins and meanings are subject to interpretation, some individuals have proposed intriguing parallels between Baphomet and Christ. A notable parallel lie in their association with duality. Baphomet’s depicted as androgynous in nature and represents the equilibration of opposites and the integration of masculine and feminine energies. Christ is likewise depicted (especially in paintings) as androgenous and in ancient text is sometimes described as a merging of the male and the female. Drawing from the insights of the 15th-century book ‘Book of the Holy Treaty’, historian Leah De Vun describes Christ and Mary as originally being a unified entity — an alchemical hermaphrodite; describing the text — De Vun characterizes Christ as the “ultimate hermaphrodite, a unity of contrary parts, the human and the divine, the male and the female”. This idea of Christ as a hermaphrodite finds support in the writings of early Christian theologian Hippolytus, who, like the Ophites, considered Christ to be of dual genders.1 Artistic representations of Christ, such as the painting “The Lamentation around the remains of Christ”, underscore this idea, showing Christ with female breasts akin to Baphomet. Intriguingly, some propose that the name “Jesus Christ” could represent the merging of two distinct entities or names into one. This idea is bolstered by the identification of “Jesus” as an ancient name for Isis, referred to as “Esus” in hieroglyphic inscriptions,2 and “Christ” as a name historically associated with Osiris (explored in ‘The Horus-Jesus Connection’ book). Within this framework, Isis and Osiris serve as possible precursors for the Biblical figures Mary and Christ. ALCHEMICAL HERMAPHRODITE FROM 15TH-CENTURY This union or merging of Mary and Christ into a hermaphrodite like Baphomet represent twin souls becoming one and the accomplishment of the Philosopher’s Stone. The Philosopher’s Stone represents the alchemical process of inner transformation, leading to the ultimate goal of Divine Union. Divine Union refers to a spiritual state of unity and connection with the divine or higher consciousness. In essence, it refers to the coming together of twin souls, similar to how Christ merges with Mary or how Osiris merges with Isis. According to Manly Palmer Hall, in his book ‘Initiates of the Flame’, the “marriage of the Sun and Moon” represents the accomplishment of the Philosopher’s Stone. For the ancient Egyptians, the Moon represented Isis and the Sun represented Osiris and their union created Horus who was the fusion of both his parents and a divine hermaphrodite. In his book ‘Gods Wear Spandex’, Chris Knowles says: “The Chemical Wedding referred to the work of the alchemists, who sought to marry the masculine and feminine properties of creation and produce the Royal Hermaphrodite, which some historians have linked to Harpocrates (Younger Horus)”. In the ancient mysteries, the ultimate aim of the philosophers was not to transform lead chemically into gold, but transform man and woman into the divine hermaphrodite. This is ultimately what Baphomet represents. It represents the idea that true spiritual enlightenment and wholeness come from embracing and integrating both the masculine and feminine aspects of creation. This union of opposites is seen as a path to spiritual balance and ultimate transcendence. This integration of the male and female is also represented by Rebis, which is a 17th-century figure used to symbolize the Magnum Opus or Great Work. (REBIS) THE HERMAPHRODITE OF THE MAGNUM OPUS (MALE AND FEMALE AS ONE) The connections between Christ and Baphomet are not widely recognized or agreed upon, but esoteric interpretations have been proposed. For example, in his book ‘Baphomet of Éliphas Lévi’, Abraxas Aletheia argues that Baphomet is an esoteric symbol of Christ: “Contrary to popular belief, Baphomet is an image of an esoteric Jesus Christ created from a composite of alchemical, Kabbalistic and Christian symbols”. One such connection symbolically between Baphomet and Christ can be found in Baphomet’s caducous which matches the Christogram which is a monogram or combination of letters that forms an abbreviation for Christ’s name. One of Baphomet’s most recognizable symbols is the pentagram emblazoned on its forehead. The pentagram is commonly associated with Christ. In Christian tradition, the pentagram is seen as a symbolic connection to the five wounds of Christ. In certain esoteric traditions, the pentagram has been linked to the planet Venus, called the Morning Star or the Evening Star, depending on its appearance in the sky. This is of relevance, because Christ describes himself as the bright Morning Star in the Book of Revelation (22:16). One of the earliest connections between Baphomet and Christ can be found in the mythology surrounding the Knights Templar, a medieval Christian military order. Some have suggested that the Baphomet head that the Knights Templars venerated was the head of Christ. In her book ‘The Templars: The Secret History Revealed’, Barbara Frale says: “The last point raised in the indictment against the Templars concerned the secret veneration of an idol in the shape of a bearded head. There is clear evidence of the existence of image of Christ in the religious life of the order, as well as a mysterious cult devoted to the Sacred Blood”. Frale’s essentially suggesting that the Baphomet head was that of Christ. This same idea was the subject of the book ‘The Head of God: The Lost Treasure of the Templars’, by Keith Laidler. Another intriguing point of convergence between Baphomet and Christ is the hand gesture known as the Punda Mandra, observed in certain depictions of both Baphomet and Christ (see below and above). This hand gesture, where the ring finger and little finger rest at the tip of the thumb and the other two fingers out-stretched, carries symbolic connotations related to duality and unity. Baphomet’s gesture can be interpreted as an embodiment of the union of opposites, reconciling masculine and feminine energies within a singular entity, while Christ’s gesture possibly signals a similar thing. This parallel suggests a shared metaphysical theme, emphasizing the integration of opposing forces and the ultimate transcendence of duality. Baphomet and Christ also share symbolic connections when it comes to the “As Above So Below” hand gesture. This gesture, depicted as an upward-pointing hand and a downward-pointing hand meeting at the centre, represents the harmony and interconnectedness between the spiritual and physical realms. Baphomet, as a representation of occult wisdom — employs this gesture to convey the principle that the macrocosm reflects the microcosm — and vice versa (as explained by Aleister Crowley). The shared symbolism of the “As Above So Below” hand gesture suggests that both Baphomet and Christ serve as conduits of divine wisdom, reminding us of the inseparable bond between the spiritual and material aspects of existence. Through this gesture, they emphasize the inherent unity of all creation, inviting us to recognize the divine within ourselves and the interconnectedness of all levels of existence. The link between Baphomet and Christ is multifaceted and open to diverse interpretations in different cultures and religions, yet these similarities suggest a profound underlying connection that unifies them. JESUS MAKES THE SAME HAND-SIGN AS BAPHOMET In his 1887 book ‘The Gnostics and Their Remains’, Charles King connects Baphomet to Osiris, saying: “Interesting above the rest for the part it played in medieval superstition is the Osiris, or old man, with radiated head, a terminal figure always shown in front face with arms crossed on the breast; the true Baphomet of the Templars”. Meanwhile, Lévi equated Baphomet with the “Goat of Mendes” which was believed to be “Banebdjedet” said to be the manifestation of Osiris. However, this might be a misinterpretation. According to the article ‘The Baphomet’, Brain Pitkin says: “Lévi incorrectly identified Baphomet as the Goat of Mendes, an ancient Egyptian deity whose name should more properly be translated as being: Harpocrates, the Ram of Mendes”. The syncretism of traditions in ancient Egypt led to the identification of Harpocrates (particularly in his child form) with the ram-headed deity of Mendes. This association can be seen in certain artistic representations where Harpocrates is shown with a ram’s head or with a crown featuring ram horns. In his book ‘Magic and Theory in Practice’, famous 20th-century occultist Aleister Crowley equates Baphomet with “Horus come to full growth”. Crowley also equated Baphomet with Harpocrates and says that their symbols are identical (see his book ‘The Commentaries of AL’). In Egyptian mythology, Horus (Harpocrates) was the son of Isis and Osiris, but some sources imply that Horus was not the son of Isis and Osiris, but rather a product of them fusing as one into a hermaphrodite alchemically like Rebis.18 The 19th-century occultist Helena Blavatsky said in her book ‘The Secret Doctrine’: “Osiris is interchangeable with Isis — and Horus is of both sexes”. Some have noted similarities between Christ and Horus, suggesting that the character of Christ may have been inspired by the earlier story of Horus. Both Horus and Christ are assumed to have been born to a virgin mother, both are depicted as healers and miracle-workers, and both are associated with narratives of resurrection and triumph over death. In his article ‘Elements of Gnostic Concepts in Depictions on Magical Gems’, Grażyna Bąkowska-Czerner says: “Harpocrates [Horus, the reborn Osiris] was a very popular deity in the Greco-Roman period, and worshipped mainly in Alexandria. Numerous depictions of the god can be found around the whole Roman Empire, where he was equated with Apollo, Helios, Heracles, Eros, and sometimes also with Cronus [Saturn]. In the Gnostic theology and art he was compared to Christ. On amulets, the name Chnoubis is repeated which is a Greek version of the word Chnum. It was the name of an Egyptian god worshipped as the maker. Chnoubis appears in the Gnostic sect of Ophites. The serpent Chnoubis sitting on a lotus flower is sometimes equated with Harpocrates and Ialdabaoth. The latter was considered by Gnostics to be the Demiurge, the first ruler with the face of a lion and snake, he was also called Ariel because he used to take on the form of a lion”. In artistic representations, Harpocrates is shown sitting on a lotus flower. The Greek philosopher Iamblichus equates Harpocrates with the Platonic Demiurge. In some interpretations, Apollo was linked with the Sun-god Shamash (for reference, see Nancy Thomson ‘Etruscan Myth, Sacred History, and Legend’) who in turn was apparently linked with Nergal, the lion-associated god. From the information above, Baphomet possibly corresponds to Harpocrates, the “Ram of Mendes”, who in turn possibly corresponds to Apollo, Christ and the Demiurge. The Demiurge is regarded as the creator of the world. Similarly, Christ is considered the agent of creation: “All things came into being through him” (John 1:3). In his article ‘Christ as Demiurge’, Edward Moore references old material (such as from Origen of Alexandria) suggesting that Christ corresponds to the Demiurge, including old material where “Jesus Christ is explicitly identified as the Demiurge, the active principle of creation”. JESUS CHRIST AS THE GRAND ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE In his influential book ‘Im Kraftstrom des Satan-Seth’, esteemed German author and occultist Frater Eremore establishes intriguing connections between Osiris, IAO, Christ, and Baphomet, suggesting a nuanced interpretation that could potentially view them as distinct manifestations of a single entity. Quote: “IAO is a name that has been haunting the world for at least two-thousand years. It’s teeming with literature in which authors are quite sure what and who is behind this name. Some see in IAO a name of God comparable to the Tetragrammaton; YHVH, interpreted as Jehovah or Jahve, but never pronounced or spelled out by orthodox Jews. In common parlance, he was replaced by Adonia, Hebrew for “Lord”, derived from the Semitic Adon or the Phoenician-Syrian Adonis, who, from the point of view of religious studies, belongs to the family of the dying and resurrecting gods; Osiris, Balder, Tammuz, Attis, and Christ. The heretic Marcion and his followers used IAO as the formula for God during the second century AD. The Marcionite community later formed in the order of the Knights Templar, who worshiped IAO as a universal deity and possibly associated it with Baphomet. The Egyptian initiates into the mysteries of Serphis, in their eyes an incarnation of Osiris, gave themselves this title; Aleister Crowley saw in the IAO a fundamental formula of Osiris, a formula of all male deities who died a sacrificial death: Dionysus, Balder, Adonis, and Christ”. The association between the god IAO, perceived by the Templars as a universal deity possibly linked to Baphomet, and Christ finds further support in the very name IAO itself. The name IAO is believed to represent ‘I’ Alpha Omega, or the Greek Iota Alpha Omega, symbolizing the cosmic divine concept of ‘I am’. Interestingly, in the Book of Revelation, Christ declares: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End”. Within Gnostic traditions, IAO is associated with the liberation of the soul and the revelation of hidden knowledge, while Christ, as understood in Christian tradition, assumes the role of a saviour who offers deliverance and liberation through his death and resurrection. Renowned occultist Tracy Twyman (who probably wrote the most detailed breakdown of Baphomet ever in her book ‘Temple Mystery Unveiled’) says that she thinks that the Gnostic god Abraxas is simply another expression of Baphomet.13 In Gnostic cosmology, Abraxas is depicted as a composite creature with the body of a man and the head of a rooster or a lion and symbolizes the fusion of opposites and the unity of divine attributes. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung described Abraxas as the Great Hermaphrodite, incorporating all opposites in one being.14 Images bearing Abraxas were used in the 14th-century in seals of the Knights Templars. In the ancient Greek Magical Papyri texts, Abraxas corresponds to Osoronnophris, whose name represents Egyptian Wsir Wn-nfr, “Osiris the Perfect Being” (possibly being a reference to the union between Isis and Osiris into one being, Horus, the born-again Osiris, who’s described by some as hermaphrodite). There are quite a number of sources that connect Abraxas to Horus. For example, the Greek magical gem below shows Harpocrates (Horus) seated on a lotus flower and on the opposite side of the gem are inscribed the words “ABPA / CAZ” which translates to Abrasax. In her 1888 book ‘The Secret Doctrine’, Helena Blavatsky equates Abraxas with Horus, saying: “Just as the LAO of the mysteries was distinct from Jehovah, so was the later Iao and Abraxas of some Gnostic sects identical with the god of the Hebrews, who was the same as the Egyptian Horus”. Meanwhile, in his 1887 book ‘The Gnostics and Their Remains’, Charles King compares Abraxas to Horus, drawing from The Pistis Sophia as well as from Hindu myths. In his book ‘Jesus Christ: Son of God’, David Fideler makes a passing connection between Abraxas, Harpocrates, and Christ, saying: “In this regard, Aeon was variously identified with Apollo, Abraxas, Harpocrates, Mithras, Jesus, and so on”. More about the Mithra-Baphomet connection below. Martianus Capella (5th-century CE) identified Aeon with Kronus (Saturn). The Baphomet sigil created by a French occultist in the 19th-century includes two names in Hebrew that surround the outer edges of each of the pentagrams. The front side has the name “Leviathan” and the other side has “Christ”. In Hebrew mythology, Leviathan is mentioned in the Bible, particularly in the book of Job (Job 41:1-34) and in Psalms (Psalm 74:14, Psalm 104:26). It’s described as a sea monster or a massive creature that embodies chaos and represents the forces of evil and destruction. In Jewish tradition, Leviathan is associated with the primordial sea and is seen as a symbol of God’s power and the ultimate defeat of evil. According to the Ophites, Leviathan is Ouroboros, separating the divine realm from humanity by enveloping or permeating the material world. Saturn’s prime symbol is the Ouroboros (see the book ‘The Ending of The Words: Magical Philosophy of Aleister Crowley’) which is a serpent that encircles creation, like Leviathan encircles the world. Comparative mythologist Georges Dumézil has shown that the name Kronos (Latin Saturn) derives from the same root as the Russian vqan, chran, meaning whale or leviathan, and indeed in Greek mythology, Kronos devoured his children, just as the whale is known to swallow its prey into its enormous mouth. Saturn is associated with the Demiurge by some, such as Origen of Alexandria, who ties Ialdabaoth to the planet Saturn. We see a connection between Saturn and Christ (as Horus) from the ancient planetary arrangement of the Egyptian deities. In their view, most of the planets were themselves ruled by other gods of the pantheon. Their arrangement was: Saturn-Horus; Mars-Re; Mercury-Seth; Venus-Osiris.1 There are some correlations and divergences between Christ and Saturn. One such correlation is the fact that in ancient times the Romans celebrated Saturn with a festival called Saturnalia in late December which is what we still do today, but the celebration of Christ has now taken the place of Saturn. THE SATURN SYMBOL MIRRORED IS THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS In his book ‘The Blue Equinox’, Crowley describes Baphomet as follows: “And I believe in The Serpent and The Lion, Mystery of Mystery, in his name Baphomet”. I have various interpretations about what Crowley meant when describing Baphomet as “The Serpent and The Lion”. One interpretation is that Baphomet is dualistic and is composed of two opposing parts, one being The Serpent and the other The Lion. The serpent has long been recognized as a symbol of the goddess. In his article ‘The Curse of the Serpent’, Andrew Cross tells us: “The association of the mother goddess with the serpent goes back to at least the Chalcolithic period [5th millennium BC] at Tepe Gawra”. In addition to its connections with the goddess, the serpent has also long been associated with wisdom and knowledge. This association is famously depicted in the story of the Garden of Eden, where a serpent tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit of knowledge. In certain Gnostic circles, Sophia is equated with the serpent in the Garden of Eden. According to some Gnostic myths, Sophia is an emanation from the divine realm who becomes involved in the material world and plays a pivotal role in humanity’s spiritual awakening. In these interpretations, the serpent in the Garden of Eden is seen as a representation of Sophia or her lower aspect. The serpent is not viewed as an evil entity, but as a bringer of knowledge and wisdom, challenging the limitations imposed by the false god of the material world. Sophia also has another connection with Baphomet. When the Hebrew letters spelling Baphomet are run through the ATBASH cipher it generates “Sophia”, meaning wisdom. Sophia is considered by some to be interchangeable with (many goddesses including) Isis and Inanna. In ancient representations of Inanna, she’s shown subduing a lion, which could represent The Serpent overcoming The Lion. In her book ‘Temple Mystery Unveiled’, Tracy Twyman offers another explanation for Crowley’s “Lion and Serpent” comment, saying that Baphomet corresponds to the lion-headed serpent Demiurge Ialdabaoth. Some linguists have connected the root syllable “met” in “Baphomet” to the name of the god Mithra, worshipped by some Gnostics as an incarnation of divine wisdom. This connection is supported by Crowley whose etymological interpretation of Baphomet’s name came out to be “Father Mithras”. Mithraism has been subject to various interpretations and some have suggested that the story of Christ was based on the earlier story of Mithra. Both the births of Mithra and Christ are associated with divine intervention or a supernatural conception, both were born on December 25th, both were regarded as Sun-gods and had 12 companions, both were associated with resurrection, and both were regarded as saviour figures and mediators between humanity and the divine. In his scholarly article ‘The Origins of the Mithraic Mysteries: Cosmology and Salvation in the Ancient World’, David Ulansey says: “Christ is not merely like Mithra, he is Mithra”. Mithra also has androgenous qualities like Baphomet and is sometimes described as a hermaphrodite. For example, in his 1856 book ‘The Obstetric Memoirs and Contributions’, James Young Simpson says: “[German theologian August Tholuck said that] Mitra (Mithras of the ancient Persians) was hermaphrodite”. Mithra was equated with the Demiurge by some (see the article ‘Mithras Demiourgos’, by Diego Romagnoli). The actual identity of Baphomet, whether it’s Mithra, Harppcrates, or Abraxas, remains shrouded in speculation, yet it’s intriguing to note the connection between those deities and Christ. Despite its relatively ancient origins dating back to the 14th-century, the identity of Baphomet continues to be enigmatic. When considering the mystery of Baphomet’s identity, one might ponder the intriguing hypothesis proposed by Abraxas Aletheia in his book ‘Baphomet of Éliphas Lévi’, suggesting that Baphomet could symbolize an esoteric Jesus Christ — who historian Leah De Vun describes as the “ultimate hermaphrodite” based on a 15th-century text.

This is not going to be a popular topic of discourse for Christians, but I wanted to share some connections I have made between Baphomet and Jesus Christ. Not to say that Jesus is bad but that Baphomet represents duality, spiritual enlightenment, and inner alchemy, in a similar vein to Jesus. https://chipstero7.wordpress.com/2023/05/24/is-baphomet-an-esoteric-representation-of-jesus-christ/

In his groundbreaking book ‘The Saturn Myth’ (inspired by the work of Immanuel Velikovsky who has correspondence with Albert Einstein about his ideas) researcher David Talbott analyzed myths from ancient cultures around the world and found that they all described the same phenomenon surrounding Saturn. He found that symbolism for Saturn is the same throughout ancient Mesopotamia, India, Greece, the Americas, and Egypt — and as documented by ancient cultures, explains how there was once a celestial alignment involving Saturn that occurred thousands of years ago. Based on ancient accounts throughout the world, Talbott describes a period of “great upheaval” in celestial bodies, when Saturn, Venus, and Mars descended and aligned overhead Earth in a spectacular astronomical event dubbed the “Saturn Polar Configuration”. As Talbott says in ‘The Saturn Myth’: “[The Saturn Polar Configuration is] the idea based on comparative mythology, that the Earth was once in close proximity, or even a satellite of the planet Saturn”. During this celestial upheavel, Mars descended from its position in the sky and formed a connection or stairway to Saturn which became known by the ancients as the heaven-sustaining giant Atlas, Mount Olympus, and the Tower of Babel, inter alia. Various cultures around the world recorded this celestial stairway. For example, the Makirtare Indians of the Amazonian rainforest tell of a time where the hero Ahishama, identified as Mars, climbed a stairway to Heaven. The Mesopotamian god Nergal also climbed a stairway to Heaven and was identified as Mars. Talbott calls it the “Cosmic Mountain”. There are various illustrations of how this alignment would have looked here. COSMIC MOUNTAIN TO SATURN During this time of celestial upheaval, Saturn and the other bodies that were aligned with it went through various configurations (see the documentary series ‘Discourses on an Alien Sky’) and at one point even formed what appeared to be a pupil inside a triangle that Talbott associates with the All-Seeing-Eye. As Talbott explains in ‘The Saturn Myth’: “It’s impossible to pursue Saturn’s ancient image without encountering the paradise of Eden, the lost Atlantis, or the All-Seeing-Eye of heaven”. Cultures as distant and disparate as those of the Australian aborigines, Maya, Polynesians, and Chinese described Venus by epithets signifying “Great Eye” and “Great Star” which were based on the Saturn Polar Configuration. The Saturn Polar Configuration was mostly characterized by an 8-pointed star or 8-spoked wheel. Here is an image of Saturn holding an 8-spoked wheel (as shown in ‘Discourses on an Alien Sky’). The crescent under Saturn was morphed and anthropomorphized. The Saturn-crescent was morphed into wings — with the solar disc (Saturn) placed in the centre, such as with the Egyptian winged Kheper or the the Assyrian winged Asshur. Quote from ‘The Saturn Myth’: “Of the crescent in the primary images and ancient sources present these basic forms: The horns of the bull-god or the uplifted arms of the heaven-sustaining giant [such as Atlas]. The outstretched wings of the mother goddess (or winged god). But these same wings, or arms, constitute the great god’s sailing vessel [Saturn Ship] which in turn is depicted as two shining horns”. As Talbott points out in ‘The Saturn Myth’, the fundamental themes of Saturn imagery include the the Saturn Ship, the All-Seeing-Eye, the two sacred pillars of Heaven (morphed into the Hercules and Masonic pillars) the two shining horns and uplifted arms of the heaven-sustaining giant which were all based on the same celestial alignment in the sky. WINGED-DISC BECAME A SYMBOL FOR SATURN POLAR CONFIGURATION (SHAMASH MIDDLE) The 8-pointed star of the Saturn Polar Configuration is a symbol of Freemasonry and seen on Masonic Tracing Boards and on stained-glass windows as shown below. Notice the Freemason image below even has a circle inside the 8-pointed star (called the circumpunct which is an ancient symbol of the Sun) the same as the Saturn Polar Configuration. In his book ‘Morals and Dogma’, 33 degree Freemason Albert Pike connects the ancient Sun to the All-Seeing-Eye and the Masonic Blazing Star. He wrote in his book: “The Blazing Star has been regarded as an emblem of Omniscience, or the All-Seeing-Eye, which to the ancients was the Sun”. Well, we know that the ancients considered Saturn to be the Sun — as explained by Talbott in ‘The Saturn Myth’. The Babylonians linked Saturn to the Sun (as “son of Shamash” and “star of Helios”). In the article ‘Saturn as the Sun of Night in Ancient Eastern Tradition’, researcher Peter James says, “attested in Mesopotamia and followed by the Greeks and Hindus, there’s a long-standing association with Saturn as the Sun”. Troy McLachlan, says, in his book ‘The Saturn Death Cult’: “The ancients did indeed see a Sun-like object residing in their skies — and that object was Saturn”. Meanwhile, in his book ‘The Eye of Ra’, David Klooz explains: “Saturn, not the solar orb, was the original “Sun-god” of ancient times and ritual”. According to political scientist Alfred De Grazia in his book ‘Homo Schizo: Human Nature’, Isaac Vail (who was an amateur scientific theorist) connected the All-Seeing-Eye (which remember was the Masonic Blazing Star) to the Saturn Polar Configuration, saying: “The All-Seeing-Eye is one of the earliest and most nearly universal symbols. Isaac Vail believed that the primordial eye was the boreal opening from which Saturn on his throne looked down upon his domain”. The letter G in the image below takes the place of Venus in the Saturn Polar Configuration. 33 degree Freemason Arthur Waite quotes famous occultist Eliphas Levi telling us that the letter “G” stands for Venus (see his book ‘The Mysteries of Magic: A Digest of the Writings of Eliphas Levi’). Another instance of the 8-pointed star on a Freemason building in Lisbon: During the various configurations of the Saturn Polar Configuration that produced various visual characteristics, the smaller orb of Venus (and also at different times Mars which produced a darker dot as shown here from ‘Discourses on an Alien Sky’) appeared as a circumpunct that passed in front of the larger orb of Saturn. As Talbott explains in ‘The Saturn Myth’: “The ancients preserved more than mythical-historical accounts of Saturn’s rule. From one section of the world to another the planet-god’s worshippers drew pictures of the Saturnian Configuration and these pictures become the universal signs and symbols of antiquity. In the global lexicon of symbols, the most common images are the enclosed Sun ⊙ [the primeval Sun corresponding to Saturn according to Talbott] and the enclosed Sun [Saturn] cross ⊕ [and of course the 8-pointed star]. It appears that every ancient race revered these signs”. Author Dan Brown explains the circumpunct as follows: “In the idiom of symbology, there was one symbol [the circumpunct] that reigned supreme above all others. The oldest and most universal, this symbol fused all the ancient traditions in a single solitary image that represented the illumination of the Egyptian Sun-god, the triumph of alchemical gold, the wisdom of the Philosopher’s Stone, the purity of the Rosicrucian Rose, the moment of Creation, the All, the dominance of the astrological Sun, and the omniscient All-Seeing-Eye that hovered atop the pyramid”. According to Wikipedia: “Throughout history, the circumpunct has been all things to all people — it’s the Sun-god Ra, alchemical gold, and the All-Seeing-Eye”. In ‘The Saturn Myth’, Talbott identifies Ra as Saturn, saying: “One finds of interest an Egyptian ostrakon (1st century B.C.) cited by Franz Boll: The ostrakon identifies the planet Saturn as the great god Ra”. The circumpunct can be seen in Freemason artwork (as shown below). The image on the bottom right is an illustration of the Saturn Polar Configuration from the documentary ‘Symbols of an Alien Sky’ (with Venus as the luminous dot). IMAGE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TAKEN FROM THE DOCUMENTARY ‘SYMBOLS OF AN ALIEN SKY’ The Saturn Polar Configuration was represented by the Egyptian hieroglyph “Akhet” (𓈌) which translates to “Horizon of Light” or “Mountain of Light”. The luminous U-shape created by the Saturn-crescent became morphed into two pillars which became a staple symbol of Freemasons (with the Blazing Star to another dimension placed between the pillars). Below are common symbols found throughout the ancient world used to symbolize the Saturn Polar Configuration. As Talbott says in ‘The Saturn Myth’ when explaining the twin-peaked crescent of the Saturn Polar Configuration: “In all ancient myths of the lost paradise, the land of peace and plenty rests upon a cosmic pillar — “Earth’s highest mountain”. One of the peculiarities of the Mount is that it possesses two peaks, rising to the right and left of the central column. The Egyptian Mount of Glory (Khut) reveals two peaks between which rests the Aten or enclosed Sun 𓈌. Depicted by this sign are “the two great mountains on which Re appears”. And what is most interesting about the Egyptian symbol of the cleft peak 𓈋 is that it finds strikingly similar parallels in other lands. The Mesopotamian Sun-god rests upon a twin-peaked world mountain of identical form and the same dual mount occurs also in Mexico — here too revealing the Sun-god between the two peaks. In Hebrew and Muslim thought “the mountain of paradise is a double one” observes Wensinck. To the Hebrews Sinai, Ebol, and Gerezim were all conceived as images of a twin-peaked mountain, states Jeremias. In the primeval Tyre (paradise) according to the description of Nonnus, a “double rock” rises from the ocean. In its centre is an olive (the central Sun) which automatically emits fire, setting it in a perpetual blaze. The Syrian and Hittite great gods stand equally balanced upon two mountains. In the beginning, according to a central Asiatic legend related by Uno Holmberg, “there was only water, from which the two great mountains emerged”. From the central mount of Hindu cosmology rise two secondary peaks. Of course, the twin pillars of Hercules point to the same idea”. In his book ‘Mortal Jigsaw Puzzle’, Grieving Patriot says: “In ancient history, this twin pillar construct is also referred to as the pillars of Hercules, a gateway beyond which lay the path to enlightenment”. THE SATURN-CRESCENT BECAME MORPHED INTO PILLARS Notice the Saturn-crescent below which appears as two pillars: This same symbol is seen throughout the ancient world such as the Phoenician Tanit symbol where the Saturn-crescent has become fully morphed into pillars: The symbols above became the basis for Freemason Tracing Boards showing the Blazing Star placed between two pillars: In ‘The Saturn Myth’, Talbott corresponds the Saturn Polar Configuration to a gateway, saying: “The god “comes out” and “goes in” on the [Saturnian] mountaintop through the “gate”, but he accomplishes this without moving from his fixed abode”. Talbott expands on the idea that the Saturn Polar Configuration was a kind of gate in his article here in which he says: “One of the archetypal forms I had discussed involved the global myths and symbols of the “Chain of Arrows”, a theme inseparably connected to another archetype, the “Ladder of Heaven”. As the story was told, a great warrior launches arrows into the sky, each embedding itself in the one above to form a ladder or stairway to the land of the gods”. The Saturn Polar Configuration went through various configurations that produced various visual characteristics, but was mostly characterized by an 8-pointed star. The 8-pointed star was known as the “Cross of Ilu” or “Bab-Ilu” which means “Gate of God”. According to investigative mythologist William Henry, author of over 18 books in alternative science, the 8-pointed star represented a portal or a Gate of God, saying: “Wherever archaeologists discovered remains of the early Sumerian civilizations the symbol of the “Gate of the Gods” was prominently displayed. The Sumerians depicted this gate as an 8-pointed star”. The 8-pointed star is iconic of Shamash (associated with Saturn) and Inanna (associated with Venus). Both these planets featured in the Saturn Polar Configuration. Since the beginning of the written word, countless stories have begun by ripping holes in the fabric of reality and pulling their protagonists (and us) through. Portals date back to the oldest written text we have on record — the 4,000-year-old Sumerian tale Epic of Gilgamesh, in which the hero travels through a mountaintop portal to the land of the gods. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the hero travels to the gate of the Sun-god Shamash at the mountain of Mashu (illustrated by the tablet below). VICTORY OF NARAM-SIN (IF YOU LOOK AT THE STAR AT THE TOP IT’S IN A SHAPE OF AN 8-POINTED STAR) Notice the Mesopotamian tablet above has an 8-pointed star at the top of a triangular-shaped mountain. We see this same symbolism in the artwork for the 1994 movie Stargate (as shown below) showing a portal to another world: The same symbol of a triangular-shaped mountain leading up to a star can be seen throughout pop-culture, such as the logo for Columbia Pictures (as shown below). MARY LADY OF OUR PILLAR ON THE LEFT AND COLUMBIA PICTURES LOGO IN THE CENTRE The same 8-pointed star keyhole symbolism as the Saturn Polar Configuration is shown below on a Masonic stained-glass window: Even though the Saturn Polar Configuration corresponds to the Masonic image above of the Blazing Star between the pillars, it’s generally assumed that the Blazing Star between the Masonic pillars is Sirius — not Saturn or Venus. Masonic historian Henry Coil says: “But whether the Blazing Star refers to Saturn or the Sun or some other heavenly body is not ascertainable”. In his book ‘Myth, Magick, and Masonry’, Jaime Lamb connects the Masonic Blazing Star to Venus, saying: “The Blazing Star’s relationship to Venus (also anciently known as the Morning Star) may best be illustrated by the fact that it’s represented in the form of a pentagram. This significance comes primarily from the fact that Venus traces [a perfect pentagram across the sky every eight years when observed from Earth”]. The fact that the Masonic Blazing Star is also sometimes represented by an 8-pointed star (as shown in the image above) might also point towards it being Venus. The Mesopotamian goddess Inanna was worshipped as the embodiment of Venus and her symbol was the 8-pointed star. While some argue that the Masonic Blazing Star is Venus, some have suggested that it could be Jupiter. The ancient Greeks knew Jupiter as Phaethon (Φαέθων) meaning “Shining One” or “Blazing Star”. Whether the Masonic Blazing Star is Sirius, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, Alcyone, Aldebaran, the Moon, or some other heavenly body, it’s acknowledged by some that Freemasons misguide people as to the true meaning of their symbols. For example, the prominent Freemason, Albert Pike, said in his book ‘Morals and Dogma’: “Part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It’s not intended that he shall understand them; but it’s intended that he shall imagine that he understands them”. Part of the problem is that much of what Freemasons are doing is buried under layers of armour-clad secrecy so many strata deep that only archaeologists of the distant future will have any hope of disinterring any of these things. The Egyptian symbol of the Ankh was based on the Saturn Polar Configuration, as Talbott explains in ‘The Saturn Myth’, saying: “The Ankh (whose origins experts have long debated) is but a conventionalized image of the [Saturn] Polar Configuration”. In his book ‘Secret Societies: Revelations About Freemasons’, Philip Gardiner explains that the Ankh was seen as a gateway or portal into a higher dimension. Quote: “The Ankh is known as the Crux Ansata. It’s a simple T-cross, surmounted by an oval — called the Ru. The Ru is often seen as a gateway or portal to another dimension, such as Heaven. The Ankh therefore becomes the symbol of transition from one place to another. It outlived Egyptian domination and was widely used by the Christians as the [Latin] Cross”. As well as being linked to the Ankh, the Saturn Polar Configuration can be linked to other symbols, such as the symbol of the All-Seeing-Eye. Probably the most recognizable Masonic symbol is the All-Seeing-Eye, included in the architecture of the Great Seal of the U.S. Dollar Bill. Fixed within a triangle, the disembodied eye is surrounded by rays of light and rests upon an unfinished pyramid. The All-Seeing-Eye finds its roots in ancient Egypt as the Eye of Horus (or Ra) and can be traced back to the Saturn Polar Configuration. During the alignment of Saturn, Venus, and Mars, in their different configurations, they formed a triangle and 8-pointed star. Quote from ‘The Saturn Myth’: “Saturn wears the band as a golden girdle, collar or crown. He dwells in it as the pupil of the All-Seeing-Eye”. To see this All-Seeing-Eye alignment explained see ‘Discourses on an Alien Sky#5’. The image below is loosely how this would have looked. In his (co-authored) book ‘The Ark of Millions of Years’, physicist Alexander Agnew, who has published thousands of technical papers, says: “The portal into Heaven is marked by the All-Seeing-Eye”. So, could this be what the Saturn Polar Configuration essentially is, then? Some portal or gateway into Heaven? THE SATURN POLAR CONFIGURATION FROM ‘DISCOURSES ON AN ALIEN SKY’ This is likely the inspiration for the All-Seeing-Eye on the U.S. Dollar Bill. THE PYRAMID IS LIKELY A REPRESENTATION OF THE SATURN POLAR CONFIGURATION Some have suggested that the symbols on the U.S. Dollar Bill were created by Freemasons. After all, some of the Founding Fathers were apparently Freemasons (such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin) and the All-Seeing-Eye was ostensibly adopted by Freemasonry in 1797 and only 5 years later was adopted on the reverse-side of The Great Seal. Many believe that Freemasons are responsible for the eye-excruciatingly small image of the owl; a Masonic symbol for “knowledge”. So, what’s the goal of Freemasons, then? Assuming the All-Seeing-Eye on the U.S. Dollar Bill is a respresentation of the Saturn Polar Configuration, which Talbott has associated with the Tower of Babel, we then have a connection between Freemasons and the Tower of Babel. Indeed, some have suggested that the pyramid on the U.S. Dollar Bill is a representation of the Tower of Babel. According to researcher Jim Cornwell: “The pyramid on the Great Seal represents the unfinished Tower of Babel”. In his book ‘Antichrist Osiris: The History of the Luciferian Conspiracy’, Chris Relitz writes: “The unfinished [pyramid] seen on the American Dollar Bill may be a reference to the Tower of Babel”. According to Christopher Hodapp in his book ‘Freemason Symbols and Ceremonies For Dummies’: “Freemasonry’s legends claim that the group was descended from the great builders of the Old Testament — Noah’s Ark, the Tower of Babel, and King Solomon’s Temple”. Researcher Alexander Slade describes how Freemasons were possibly responsible for the Tower of Babel. Tentatively then, it would make sense if the goal of Freemasons was to recreate the Tower of Babel and reconnect Heaven with Earth. Below is an old Freemason Tracing Board showing the All-Seeing-Eye over a pillar, with the pillar likely representing the Cosmic Mountain: The image below is a comparison between the Masonic Square and Compass (on the left) the Stargate logo (in the centre) and the Cosmic Mountain to Saturn and Venus (on the right) also called the “Saturn Polar Configuration”. The design of the Square and Compass corresponds to the configuration of Saturn, Venus, and the Cosmic Mountain, as seen in ‘Discourses on an Alien Sky’. In this interpretation, the circle at the apex of the Masonic Compass represents the Blazing Star and the triangular appearance of the Compass itself represents the Cosmic Mountain or pathway. THE SATURN STARGATE KEYHOLE SYMBOL MORPHED INTO A TRIANGLE WITH A CIRCLE AT TOP The connection between Freemasonry and the Saturn Polar Configuration becomes more apparent when we compare the stained-glass painting above to the front cover of ‘The Saturn Myth’ book as shown here.

There are some curious correlations and divergences between Christ and Saturn that I thought was worth writing a topic about. One such correlation is the fact that in ancient times the Romans celebrated Saturn with a festival called Saturnalia in late December which is what we still do today but the celebration of Christ has now taken the place of Saturn. In Christian symbolism, the fish is among the earliest art forms, generally thought to be the symbol for Christ and Saturn is associated with the fish as well. The name “lat” or the hidden one, was a name given to Saturn, coming from the fish Latus which was worshipped in ancient times. Another correlation is that the planetary symbol for Saturn when mirrored and overlaid ends up being a match for Christ’s Sacred Heart paintings. Another, perhaps less important correlation is that according to Leo Allatius, a 17th-century theologian, the foreskin of Christ divinely ascended to Saturn, suggesting a connection to the planet. The Ophite Gnostics assigned planets to the Archons, and they assigned Saturn to the Demiurge. Origen of Alexandria, one of the greatest Christian theologians, corresponds the Demiurge Ialdabaoth with “Phainon” which is the old name for the planet Saturn. The author of The Gospel of Judas from the 2nd-century tells us that the Christian clergy who believe they serve Jesus Christ actually serve the Demiurge instead.

One of the biggest unexplained mysteries in conspiracy circles is the black cube of Saturn and I’m amazed that I’ve never heard David Icke ever talk about this. Below is an article I wrote last year that attempts to explain the Saturn cube as the real cosmological model of our universe – I believe it's something that we exist within. https://chipstero7.wordpress.com/2020/11/09/are-we-trapped-in-the-saturn-cube/

The idea that a secret cabal of elite is brainwashing and mocking the masses via esoteric messages and predictive programming in entertainment has gained more traction over the years due to more people discovering the existence of secret societies. Recently, I watched the movie 'The Invasion' which might contain such messages. The movie has some coincidences related to the COVID vaccines and I thought it was worth writing an article about them. The movie is based on an infectious fungus that gets unleashed on Earth from a crashing space shuttle and the people who get infected become possessed by an alien force, leading them to become mind-controlled and to attempt to infect others with the fungus. It’s basically the same premise as the Body Snatchers, the famous 1954 movie produced by Walter Wanger. One of the characters that gets infected early on is Tucker Kaufman, a CDC director -- who once becomes infected, hurriedly develops a vaccine and slips the fungus into it, so he can infect as many people as possible. So, millions of people that line up to get their vaccines get infected by the fungus and become possessed by the mysterious alien force. Horrible, right? One of the scientists discovers that the fungus (which they slipped into the vaccines) can change the host's genetic expression: “What we’re dealing with is a complete intelligent entity that’s invading people’s bodies, integrating with their DNA and reprogramming their genetic expression”. This is where some coincidences start to arise. In this movie, people are receiving vaccines that were rushed out and didn't undergo proper trials (similar to the COVID vaccines) with the alien fungus in that can reprogram their genetic expression. Well, coincidentally, some researchers have warned that the COVID vaccines are reprogramming our genetic makeup. Molecular biologist, Andrew Kaufman, says that the COVID vaccines will genetically change us. In the video here, Kaufman talks about how the COVID vaccine will provide a vessel to “inject genes” into humans, by a procedure known as "electroporation", in which an electric current “create holes in our cells that allow the DNA to go into our cells”, essentially changing our genetic makeup. Here’s where the rabbit hole gets darker. As mentioned above, the vaccines in the movie not only genetically change people, but possess them, leading them to become mind-controlled. Well, coincidentally, when we apply the backwards syntax of Biblical Hebrew, the word COVID becomes DIVOC, which is a Hebrew word meaning “possession by an evil spirit”. Translated into English, DIVOC becomes “dybbuk”. According to Yoram Bilu, a professor of anthropology and sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, dybbuk describes a demonic spirit responsible for possession: “The term dybbuk was used in mystical circles to designate a spirit of the dead that took possession of a person. Dybbuk possession was always conceived as an affliction or an illness and the possessing agent had to be expelled”. So, to recap, in this movie, vaccines that were rushed out and didn't undergo proper trials can genetically change people and leads to possession. Well, some researchers say that the COVID vaccines, which were rushed out, will genetically change us, and when we apply the backwards syntax of Biblical Hebrew, the word COVID literally becomes “possession by an evil spirit”. Bilu points out that “dybbuk, demon, or evil soul possession left the victim as a passive object, bereft of self-awareness and without self-control vis-à-vis external authorities” (which, incidentally, sounds somewhat like autism). Meanwhile, Bogdan Herzog (author of the article referenced above) says that "dybbuks seem to target mainly women and children and “emotional intensification or arousal” are prerequisites for possession". Dybbuks share similar characteristics to the Gnostic Archons which are described as inorganic beings that seek to keep humanity trapped in the material realm. In Gnosticism, the Archons are demonic rulers over the material realm. They are an ancient race of demons who have apparently hijacked our perception of reality in the manner of The Matrix. They possess us, incite wars, and beget misery. Some have described the Archons as “attached para-spiritual parasites”. Given the misanthropic and malevolent way that many politicians and world-leaders behave in our world today, is it so outlandish to believe that some of them could be possessed by actual demons? Personally, I believe that demonic possession is possible and resist reducing it to a psychological or biological categorization. In March 2013, an article appeared by investigative journalist, Sola Ogundipe, in which she said: “A disease condition known as “anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis” that exhibits symptoms similar to demonic possession is increasingly striking women in the United States. Teresa Conrick explains how a 2011 study (Caroline Hofmann et al 2011) identified a link between the condition and vaccines. Symptoms of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis were observed to appear not long after children received their routine vaccinations, suggesting a connection”. Demonic possession caused by vaccines goes hand-in-hand with spiritual disconnection, which is something Rudolf Steiner warned about (in a quote that has been much circulated over the last year, so many reading this could already be familiar with it): "Children will be vaccinated with a substance which it will certainly be possible to produce, and this will make them immune, so they do not develop foolish inclinations connected with spiritual life -- ‘foolish’ here, of course in the eyes of materialists". One of the most well-known disorders claimed to be caused by vaccines (specifically the MMR vaccine) is autism which is now very common with about 1 in 40 children identified as autistic. According to Allal Ouhtit et al 2015: "In the Omani community, emotional and cognitive impairments like autism are usually perceived as a manifestation of possession by demonic spirits or supernatural forces, such as hassad (contemptuous envy), sihr (sorcery) or the “evil eye". The societal perception of children with autism is often akin to "madness" or demonic possession". According to a review on the history of ideas surrounding autism, a child with symptoms akin to autism was previously perceived as a “possessed soulless mass of flesh”. Sarah Cromwell posits: “The process that’s going on inside the autistic child caused by vaccines is that the child’s soul is prevented from having full control of its own body. This allows the body to be inhabited by different low-vibrational spirits making him or her, in effect, an unwilling trance medium. There are varying degrees of autism, so perhaps this is reflected in varying degrees of psychic influence over the child and may also explain ADHD”. The idea that people could be possessed by demons existed in many parts of the ancient world and in many societies. This belief would continue through the Middle Ages, Renaissance Europe, and until the time of the Salem, and Massachusetts. Interestingly, vaccines have been associated with possession before, and so this is not just a loose connection to a movie. In the book 'Annual Report Upon Vaccination in the N.W. Provinces', it descibes how vaccines can cause "serious and dangerous symptoms". When these serious and dangerous symptoms would arise, the parents of a child would sometimes "send for the inoculator who administered various heating and cooling medicines, as the case required; should these fail, a goat was procured, and the evil spirt which is supposed to have taken possession of the child was, by the process of the "jaru", transferred from the child to the goat". Could vaccination be the prerequisite for possession by a dybbuk? By the act of vaccination, could the vaccine-injured possibly lose self-control vis-à-vis external authorities and accept unprecedented circumscriptions on their freedoms?

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator and the largest and most complex facility ever constructed. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research between 1998 to 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers, as well as hundreds of laboratories. The accelerator allows scientists to collide high-energy subatomic particles in a controlled environment and observe the interactions. Ever since the Large Hadron Collider began operation back in 2008 there have been a host of conspiracy theories regarding the machine. Some not so convincing, others more so. One theory that has caught my imagination is the possibility that the machine could open a worm-hole or portal to another dimension. Russian mathematical physicists Aref’eva and Igor Volovich believe that the energies generated by the subatomic collisions by the Large Hadron Collider may be powerful enough to rip space-time itself, spawning worm-holes. The idea that CERN could open a worm-hole is hard to believe, but it’s something CERN have also hinted at themselves. The director of CERN, Sergio Bertolucci, said: “The Large Hadron Collider at CERN could open a door to an extra dimension, and out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it”. Some have speculated that the worm-hole CERN will open will be a celestial worm-hole. When investigating CERN, researcher Goro Adachi discovered that CERN’s Large Hadron Collider machine appears to mirror celestial bodies and he speculates that the machine could open a worm-hole (see the article ‘CERN: The Orion Stargate: Decoding The Large Hadron Collider’). Meanwhile, according to Nick Hinton, author of the book ‘The Saturn Time Cube Simulation’, based on Mayan mythology, one day, there will “come a time when a celestial alignment causes a cosmic doorway [or worm-hole] to open”. He links this “cosmic doorway” to CERN and the Saturn Polar Configuration. In the TechBubble article ‘How CERN plan to use the Large Hadron Collider to open portals to other dimensions’, researcher Adam Milton-Barker speculates that CERN’s goal is to access the Saturn Polar Configuration (which some say was a portal or worm-hole), saying: “There are some very interesting theories connected to CERN. One theory is that there is a connection between CERN and Saturn. You may have heard of Jacob’s Ladder which is described in the Book of Genesis. One of CERN’s goals is to recreate Jacob’s Ladder and re-open a portal that is said to have existed between Earth, Venus, Mars, and Saturn, when the planets were in alignment many [thousands of] years ago”. Curiously, even famous conspiracy theorist David Icke subscribes to the idea. In his book ‘Everything You Need to Know But Have Never Been Told’, Icke says: “I have said in previous books that the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland, is the process of creating portals into other realities. I say this includes a connection with Saturn through which energies and entities come into our reality through a Saturn Stargate or portal to other dimensions”. CERN has a particle accelerator lab in Jordan called “SESAME”. The name SESAME could have significance in relation to opening a doorway to other dimension, as Sergio Bertolucci said, because the word SESAME is part of the magical phrase “open sesame”. CERN’s particle accelerator SESAME lab has a giant 8-pointed star that welcomes visitors into the building. This is significant in itself, because the Saturn Polar Configuration was characterized by an 8-pointed star. For more info, read my article here: https://chipstero7.wordpress.com/

One of the most well-known set of Freemason symbols is the Tracing Board which is a set of printed illustrations depicting the various emblems and symbols of Freemasonry. The Freemason Tracing Board has always been a source of fascination to me and it became clearer to understand when I discovered the work of David Talbott and his book ‘The Saturn Myth’. From a historical perspective, planetary alignments recorded by ancient cultures may provide clues about the symbols on the Tracing Board. In the book ‘The Saturn Myth’, David Talbott refers to some of the symbols on the Tracing board, most notably the two pillars. According to Talbott, based on accounts from ancient cultures around the world, thousands of years ago the planets underwent great upheavel and aligned overhead Earth in an astronomical event, dubbed the “Saturn Polar Configuration” theory. The planets that aligned were Saturn, Venus and Mars. The image below is how this alignment would have looked — with Saturn as an 8-pointed star. THE COSMIC MOUNTAIN TO SATURN Quote from the ‘Saturn Myth’ book: The exact same 8-pointed star keyhole symbolism is shown below on a Freemason stained-glass window. ARCANA LODGE 187 (NOTICE ORION ABOVE THE RIGHT PILLAR) According to investigative mythologist William Henry: We are taught that the Blazing Star between the two pillars (Jachin and Boaz) is actually Sirius. So, it’s possible Talbott has misinterpreted the bodies in the celestial alignment (some people such as Michael Ballinger have suggested that Venus could have been Alcyone). However, it’s generally acknowledged that Freemasons deceive people as to the true meaning of their symbols. For example, Albert Pike said in ‘Morals and Dogma’: “Part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine that he understands them… their true explication (explanation and understanding) is reserved for the adepts”. Manly Palmer Hall described a similar thing in his book ‘The Lost Keys of Freemaonsry’, where he describes a deeper meaning to the symbols as commonly understood by the average individual, saying: “The initiated brother realizes that his so-called symbols and rituals are merely blinds fabricated by the wise to perpetuate ideas incomprehensible to the average individual”. In the ‘The Saturn Myth’, Talbott describes how ancient cultures around the world interpreted the Saturn Polar Configuration symbol as a bridge between Heaven and Earth. This could be what the goal of Freemasonry actually is; to reconnect Heaven with Earth. Tracy Twyman posits at the end of her book, Clock Shavings, that secret societies such as the Freemasons, have “long cherished the idea of being able to penetrate the hidden realm, not only to escape the material “prison” that we are in, but to escape the cycle of death that pervades here, and to take for themselves the immortality of the gods”. Gnostics believed the world had been created by a malevolent being called the Demiurge and that our souls have been trapped in a material prison and have descended from above and are capable of reascending through “gnosis”. Carl Michaeler, the author of ‘Treatise on the Phoenician Mysteries’, wrote on the analogy between Gnostisicm and Freemasonry. He adverts to the theory of the Gnostic origin of Freemasonry. Like the Gnostics, it’s possible that Freemasons want to break out of this material prison and ascend into a higher dimension. According to Robert Palazzo, the aim of Freemasons is to access “a portal to the mysterious”. Freemasons ascending into a higher dimension would make sense in the context of what the Saturn Polar Configuation actually was. It was a portal. The Egyptian Ankh was based on the Saturn Polar Configuration, as Talbott explains in ‘The Saturn Myth’: “The Ankh (whose origins experts have long debated) is but a conventionalized image of the [Saturn] Polar Configuration”. In the book ‘Secret Societies: Revelations About the Freemasons’ by Philip Gardiner, he explains that the Ankh was seen as a gateway or portal. Quote: “The Ankh is technically known as the Crux Ansata. It is a simple T-cross, surmounted by an oval — called the Ru. The Ru is often seen as a portal or gateway to another dimension, such as Heaven. The Ankh therefore becomes the symbol of transition from one place to another. It outlived Egyptian domination and was widely used by the Christians as the [Latin] Cross”. NOTICE THE KEYHOLE-SHAPE Below is an ancient Mesopotamia Stele depicting the same symbolism as the Freemason painting above, showing the Cosmic Mountain connected to a star. This, as Talbott describes, was a celestial alignment that occurred thousands of years ago, and was actually a gateway. It’s possible that CERN are trying to reactivate this gateway.

The most used but least known occult symbol: The 8-pointed star
evanslr replied to evanslr's topic in Symbolism & The Occult
A few more examples I found of the 8-pointed star recently: ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE WONDER WOMAN 1984 (FROM THE TRAILER) X-MEN FIRST CLASS JOHN CARTER (MORE SUBTLE EXAMPLE) THE WIRE (SEASON 3 EPISODE 1) EVENT HORIZON A BEAUTIFUL MIND (AN 8-POINTED STAR TOGETHER WITH ONE-EYE SYMBOLISM. NOTICE THE ONE-EYE SYMBOLISM IN THE 8-POINTED STAR SHOWN ABOVE FROM THE FILM XXX: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE) STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI THE INCREDIBLES 2 GHOSTBUSTERS 2 HELLBOY 2019 (FALLS INSIDE AN 8-POINTED STAR OR 8-SPOKED WHEEL) TOY STORY 4 WONDER WOMAN HEADDRESS THE MUMMY (1999) G.U.Y. (AN ARTPOP FILM) -
In the book ‘The Saturn Myth’ (inspired by the work of Immanuel Velikovsky) David Talbott explores “celestial events that shaped early cultures”. Talbott argues that the “Great God” or “Universal Monarch” of the ancients was not the Sun — but Saturn — which once hung ominously over Earth and “visually dominated the skies”. There was once a period when Saturn was closer to Earth and fixed stationary in the sky. Based on ancient accounts throughout the world, Talbott describes a period of “great upheaval” in celestial bodies, when Saturn, Venus and Mars descended, and aligned — various catastrophes ensued, and a “Cosmic Mars Mountain” eventually formed, seemingly connecting to Saturn, as though it were a pathway of sorts, see various illustrations here, here and here.

I think the world is getting more evil every year. I was discussing this with someone recently and they mentioned how movies, music, and the culture in general used to be more geared to spirituality, but now that sort of thing is lacking. Could this be because there are actual demons among us that have taken control of their human hosts? Admittedly a far-out there possibility, but one that I find interesting to ruminate on.

Could COVID vaccines possibly lead to demonic possession? A short article I wrote about this question below. https://chipstero7.wordpress.com/2022/01/06/only-a-coincidence-short-article/ I wrote an article earlier this year on my blog on why the COVID virus (SARS-CoV-2) probably does not exist and has never been isolated and also why the idea that viruses exist and cause disease has not been scientifically established. https://chipstero7.wordpress.com/2021/03/30/the-covid-scamdemic/ Quote from the article:
