The Ankh is one of the most well-known and widely used symbols of ancient Egypt. It is in their myths, hieroglyphs, texts and art. What is the Ankh symbolizing? Mainstream ideas are “life”, “breath of life”, or “death and resurrection”. As you will see, they are all way off base. The Ankh has to do with you, your higher self to be exact.
The Ankh is pure Egyptian. It is found in different civilizations, but only because they originated from Egypt. The Christians stole the symbol and used it for their cross. If you understand the true meaning of the christ, you will see why they stole the symbol. Who the hell would worship the symbol that killed their god or prophet? You don’t see Hindus worshipping an arrow. The arrow being what killed Krishna. Mohammed was killed by a wild boar and is the reason why muslims will not eat ham. So why do christians venerate the cross? Christianity is Egyptian and the cross is just a stylized Ankh. […]

Sekhmet is one of the oldest known Egyptian deities. She is very closely associated with Hathor. Her name is derived from “sekhem’ and it means power or might. Sekhmet is often translated as “She who is powerful”. The Egyptian texts show that Sekhmet had good and bad aspects. What makes Sekhmet very interesting to me is that some scribes stole a story about her in an ancient Egyptian text and put it in the bible.
If you are familiar with my work, you know that all Goddesses are nature or an aspect of nature. This is why she has good and bad aspects. Nature is beautiful, but can also be destructive. To understand who she really is you have to know the true history of this world. In Lemurian Magic I showed you the war of the gods. Mother Nature having enough of this war caused the earth to spin uncontrollably and move out of it’s orbit. When the disaster was over Egypt and other civilizations were settled. The pyramids and sphinx were built at this time with the remaining technology. This happened at about 11000 BCE. When the earth had calmed down and stabilized the sun was rising between Virgo and Leo. The sphinx was built at this time and had the head of a goddess(Virgo) and the body of a lion(Leo). Egypt was going to be a matriarch. If you didn’t want to obey by these rules, you could go somewhere else. This is why Sumer was a patriarch.
Sekhmet is the goddess of the age of Leo. The lion became a symbol in Sumer for the sun, but it also was a symbol of kingship. The lioness became the goddess Sekhmet in Egypt and this was a perfect symbol for Egypt. Lions, like all nature, are a matriarch. The females hunt at night and this makes the lioness a symbol of the moon. If you have read my God(s) post you know the Egyptians venerated the moon most of all. The Pharaohs used her as a symbol of war because lioness are hunters and the power of nature is awesome. The lion has become the symbol of Judah, specifically the line of David and Jesus. The lioness also became the symbol of the female bloodline in Egypt. The Talmud refers to Mary as the lioness of god. So basically both of these are showing the royal bloodline from Egypt.
Which brings me to why she is the most destructive of the goddesses. In an ancient Egyptian text, called The Destruction of Mankind, Ra(the sun) is angry at mankind for not preserving balance and justice(Maat). The vengeful goddess Sekhmet goes after people and the earth’s fields ran red with human blood. The people of Egypt devised a plan to pour pomegranate juice in beer to stain it blood-red. They poured the beer and red ochre into the Nile flooding the fields with blood. Sekhmet gorged on the beer and became so drunk she slept for three days. Since she is linked with the moon, sleeping for three days has to do with the new moon. The Egyptians celebrated this every year on the feast day of Hathor/Sekhmet. They drank red beer and poured red ochre in the Nile turning it blood-red. This is the story stolen by bible scribes and put in the Old Testament as one of the plagues of Egypt. All they have done is make it a vengeful male god. Just to show you how far we have come as a human race, they still do a very similar celebration in Chicago to this day. Every year on St. Patrick’s day people in Chicago drink green beer and turn the Chicago river bright green. Today they do not celebrate appeasing a vengeful goddess. It is much more civilized than that. Today they celebrate St. Patrick killing all the serpents in Ireland. The killing of the serpents was not the reptilian snake, it was the Druids. If you are familiar with my work, you know how deep the connection is between Egypt and Ireland.
Sekhmet usually has the uraeus symbol and solar disk. When she is standing she usually has the papyrus scepter. All of these are symbols of Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt was the Hyksos pharaohs and it is where all the patriarch religions come from. How does this very early goddess of Upper Egypt become part of Lower Egypt? It all goes back to the father of Tuthmoses and Akhenaton, Amenhotep III. This pharaoh was trying to keep Egypt united. He used her because she represented the moon, but had the solar disk and other Lower Egyptian symbols associated with her. She was feared in Egypt because she was the symbol of Mother Nature that brought an end to the war of the gods. The war caused the imbalance and nearly caused the extinction of the human race. Her also being a symbol of the moon tells me that the legends and myths about the moon bringing an end to the chaos are correct(See Lemurian Magic). Her sleeping for 3 days may literally mean a new moon. Did it take 3 days for people to come out of hiding once the chaos had stopped?
As I have stated before, the Hyksos pharaohs of Lower Egypt did not understand the true meaning of the gods and goddesses of Egypt. They wanted monotheism, control of the masses and females(especially young girls) to be nothing more than sex slaves. Tuthmoses and Akhenaton were Moses and Aaron in the bible(see Patriarch Pharaohs). Sekhmet is nature and sometimes she is shown seated on a throne. Seated Goddesses and Gods in Egypt symbolized fixed and embodied archetypes. Things you can not change. Certain rules cannot be broken in this fleshy existence. The patriarch scribes who wrote the bible did not understand the true meaning of the Gods and Goddesses of Egypt. They just took certain aspects of the Gods and Goddesses and used it to create their book for control. What they thought was a vengeful Goddess was actually aspects of nature, but they took this and put it on a bearded man to make money and control people. I see Sekhmet as the Goddess who will bring balance if you don’t have it, but if you have balance she will make it seem like your life is purrrrfect.

What is a god? Gods are all over the myths world-wide. If you ask me we are all gods and goddesses, but this world is all about you not knowing you are divine. Even for those of you that are “awake” this may come as a surprise. If you have read my previous work you know who I am about to reveal, but at least know you will know where I get my conclusions. This post will mainly be about the monotheistic god, but I will touch on the religions with multiple gods too. Everything in our modern world comes out of Egypt(which goes back to Atlantis) and god(s) is no exception.
Let’s look at the monotheistic religions and their gods. The religions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Masonry. Yes I said monotheism and their gods. They have Jehovah, Allah, Adonai, Elohim, El Shaddai, Eli, Eloi, El Elyon, Ehyeh, and let’s not forget Yahweh. Jesus is also considered a god himself. Seems like there is an awful amount of gods in monotheism. Theologians will tell you these are just different names for the same god. Well then your god is not only vengeful and moody, but he has an identity crisis. All of these names go back to versions of the sun and dualism, but the one I found interesting is the one that is unspeakable or unknowing, Yahweh.
Ralph Ellis is the one that uncovered the true identity of this god. If you want to become truly enlightened, read his books. This man is a genius that only comes around once in a few centuries. He is bringing back the true knowledge that has been lost in this world. I am going to mix in some things in that I know to help you better understand why the ancients, mainly Egyptians, thought certain things.
Yahweh comes from the tetragram YHWH, the sacred and unspeakable name of god. In tetragrams and hieroglyphs there were no vowels only consonants, so the translators inserted whatever they thought the vowel should be. That is exactly how scientific translating ancient languages is. Jehovah came from translating YHWH into english and inserting vowels. Then it was decided to go back to YHWH. This is the level of expertise that is controlling the world. That is exactly what religion is for, control. You are about to find out who ” god” is for these patriarchs. The real funny part is that they don’t realize who they are worshipping.
The first clue to who this god is has to do with bread. Bread symbolizes knowledge, but christian insist they are cannibals and it represents flesh. The last supper was more of sharing secrets than anything else. Breaking of the bread symbolized occult knowledge. Part of that knowledge was that the “all” or “force”, whatever you want to call it, breaks up into individual souls and falls into the body. The bread is the body. Jesus is giving them the knowledge about how the divine breaks up and falls into the individual bodies, making you. This is why bread represents flesh, but christians have no idea. This ritual was performed in Egypt and it was called Ta-en-aah. I will give you the meaning to this shortly. Catholics perform this ritual with the wafer. This wafer is showing exactly who the true god the patriarchs venerate. The wine is just showing the bloodline of this god and Jesus was of the bloodline through his mother(See His Royal Jesus).
The wafer is representing the moon. This god is also why christians have a Trinity. The Egyptian moon-god was Thoth. I can hear the reader asking “How the hell do we get from Yahweh to Thoth”?. In Egyptian Yah literally means the moon. A very ancient name for Thoth is wait for it………..Yahew! Pronounced Yahoo. Ta-en-aah was the sacrificial bread of the moon-god. In the Koran Mohammed is told the name of your lord is “he who instructed man by pen, he who taught him what he did not know”. All of the patriarch religions go back to Lower Egypt. Thoth was the god with the crane head and pen in hand. Thoth was Hermes in Greece and Mercury in Rome. It is why they say Hermes was thrice great or thrice named. Thoth, Hermes and Mercury is the patriarch Trinity. They have tried to cover this up with father, son and holy ghost. The hebrew word for Jew is Yahewdaiy and it means children of Thoth.
The Egyptians had many gods and goddesses, but the Akhenaton tried to make them venerate one god, the sun. To see Akhenaton’s true identity along with all the other Old Testament characters see Patriarch Pharaohs. All the gods and goddesses of Egypt were aspects of yourself and the cosmos. I always say “Nothing is outside of you”, so they were aspects of yourself. The Egyptians not only venerated the sun, but the power behind it. The power of the cosmos. Science is just now figuring out the power sun controls everything. When you are tuned into this divine power of the sun you reflect it like the moon. This power waxes and wanes in you just like the moon. But if you are giving your power away to a false god outside of you, then you will never realize your true power.
All the Greek gods, Norse gods, Hindu gods and Roman gods are just Egyptian gods repackaged. They took these gods and put them outside of the individual for the laity. While the people with eyes to see and ears to hear knew exactly what was going on. Buddha was the name of the priest that watched over the sacred Benben stone. Alexander the Great created Buddhism on his conquests after learning the secrets in Egypt and being crowned Pharaoh. Most statues of Buddha are Alexander the Great. Jesus’ real name was Manu. To see the truth of the biblical family see His Royal Jesus. Muhammad’s real name was Lothar Schmalfuss. He was a cardinal that had failed to be elected pope. The vatican used him to create Islam. All religion and it’s texts have been amended and adapted to suit the era of the people they want to control. When I hear or see someone saying that all religions are pointing to the truth, I think to myself “Yes they are pointing to control over the masses”.
As I have said before, “We are who we have been waiting for”! Quit the game and the game goes away. Quit being a pawn in this world and start being your own creator. If you don’t rule your world someone else will. Start realizing how much power you actually have and start using it. I know it is a long and lonely road, I have taken it. It has been ingrained in our DNA to want to worship something. To see how this happened read Lemurian Magic. The history that we have been fed is his story, make your own history. Break the walls down. You are a Goddess or God, start acting like one.
Cupid is the Rome equivalent to Eros and their names basically mean ‘desire’. Desire is the reason we humans have time. It is also said the Cupid is the god of erotic love, attraction and affection, hence we say he is the god of love. It is because of misinterpreting the myths and legends that we think the ancients were obsessed with sex. The myths are way more beautiful when they are translated correctly.
Most people know cupid as a chubby little baby with a bow and arrow. In the ancient myths he is a slender, young, handsome man. The chubby baby is a Renaissance period invention. Cupid is usually a minor character in stories except for the tale of Cupid and Psyche. This is the myth I will be explaining to you. The myth of Cupid and Psyche is the origin of Beauty and the Beast. Before we start I have to tell you the true symbolism for Cupid is lunar worship and the bow and arrow symbolize masculine and feminine. When he shoots his arrows it symbolizes creation. He is also a winged god and winged gods symbolize non-physical abstract dynamics such as intellect, spiritual, imagination and psychic.
The story of Cupid and Psyche is a beautiful story of consciousness with astrological and nature symbolism ingrained. Psyche has unearthly beauty and Venus becomes jealous of her. This has astrological symbolism because on a clear moonless night Venus is the brightest star that everyone notices, but on a moon lit night the moon out shines Venus. The planet Venus is jealous because the beauty of the Moon takes the mortals attention away from her.
The name Psyche is where we get psychology. Unless you took psychology or you like myths, you probably never heard of her. In ancient Greek psyche means ‘soul’. Now why would we get a term for the mind that means ‘soul’. To understand what is going on here, you have to be a student of Hermetic. In the Principal of Mentalism it says “The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental”. To go deeper on you still, you are not a soul in your body, you are a body in your soul. Psyche being a female is showing you that this universal energy is feminine. It is why nature is always portrayed as a female.
Venus sends her son, Cupid, to use one of his arrows on Psyche. This would make Psyche fall in love with a human monster. In this story Cupid is the masculine energy with Psyche being the feminine energy. Cupid is so astonished by Psyche’s beauty that he accidentally shoots himself. From that moment, Cupid was irrevocably in love with Psyche. Psyche and her parents now realize that her beauty has angered the gods. The go to the Temple of Apollo and find out that no mortal man can have her hand in marriage, but her future husband, that is a monster, awaits her on top of a mountain. Mountains symbolize the mountain you have to climb to reach enlightenment.
Psyche goes to the highest cliff and is swept away by he west wind, Zephyr. Wind always represents your thoughts or mastering your thoughts. She is brought to a beautiful valley that has a palace so magnificent that only the gods could have built it. Going from a high cliff to a valley is showing that this universal energy peaks and wanes. The palace is representing individuality. The palace is surrounded by luscious trees and a crystalline fountain. Here we have the water that represents her emotions. The trees represent the Tree of Life(see Tree of Life post) and the higher you go the more grounded you have to be. Psyche accepts that this is her new home, but does not know that Cupid is the stranger that lives here.
Cupid makes Psyche promise that she will not look at his face and he visits her every night to make love to her in the darkness. Despite all the love and tenderness Psyche is still bothered by the oracles claims that her husband is a monster. This is showing that the feminine and masculine is still not balanced. They are still separate so there is no enlightenment. Psyches’s sisters visit her and are jealous of her beautiful home. They insist that her husband is a monster and talk her into finding out.
Psyche decides to break her husband’s only request of allowing his face to remain secret and look upon him at night. She lights a candle to gaze at his face and all his majestic beauty. A single drop of oil falls from the candle and wakes Cupid. Cupid flees their home in distress because he had been betrayed. The flame of the candle represents intellect. So here we have 3 of the 4 elements on our way to enlightenment.
Psyche is distraught and she goes in search of her husband. She travels many days until she meets the goddess Ceres. Ceres is now the second goddess in the story and 2 goddess symbolize seen and unseen wisdom. Ceres tells Psyche to surrender herself to Venus and whatever ill will the goddess throws at her. Obeying Ceres’ advice, Psyche is giving what seems like 3 impossible tasks. First is to separate the grains of Venus’ temple into piles. Second she has to steal a wool fleece from a herd of sheep. Third she has to travel into the underworld and request some beauty from Queen Proserpina, so she can give it to Venus. In doing the last task Psyche has to keep the box in which the beauty is placed tightly closed, for fear of terrible repercussions.
Psyche starts the trials and without her knowing Cupid assists her. The first trial is alchemical symbolism. In alchemy the grains of Venus’ temple were the seven heavenly spheres in the sky. They are as follows:
Sun – Wheat
Moon – Rice
Mars – Oats
Mercury – Millet
Jupiter – Rye
Venus – Barley
Saturn – Corn
Her having to steal a fleece from sheep tells me this myth was written in the time of Aries. Finally she is given divine advice on how to surpass the dangers of Hades. Those who have read my previous work know that Hades symbolizes your body. You being in Hades or the underworld is you being here on earth in the fleshy body(See Magic). So now we have the 4 element for enlightenment.
Psyche is so upset about all the trials that she opens the forbidden box and is immediately put into a Stygian sleep. This is a sleep so strong she is considered the living dead. This is the sleep of the river Styx or Hades, in other words the sleeping masses. She had become one of the masses. By that time Cupid has had enough and he wants to be with his wife. This is the Masculine yearning for the Sacred Feminine. Cupid flies down to rescue her and lifts her in her sleeping form into the heavens. He pleads with Jupiter to talk some sense into his mother, Venus. Venus lifts the curse from Psyche and she is transformed into an immortal. Once she becomes immortal her and Cupid are wed.
This is the story of your enlightenment. The marriage of the Sacred Feminine with the Masculine.

The Ugly Duckling is a beautiful story. Most people look at this story and think it’s about someone who just wants to fit in. A story of someone who looks and acts different, so everyone makes fun of them. That is the story for the masses, as you will see this is a story of enlightenment.
The original version of The Ugly Duckling was written by Hans Christian Andersen. He has stories where it is easy to see the moral like The Emperor’s New Clothes. Then he has other stories like this one where you need to be in on the secrets. Andersen was in on the secrets. He wrote “The Little Mermaid” which is full of occult history and symbolism(See Mermaid). I see him kinda like the Brothers Grimm. He wrote these stories to get some secrets out to ordinary folks like me and you. Writing all of these stories right under the nose of the establishment. If they were smart enough to have caught him they would not have burned him at the stake, but they would have found a way to ruin him. Sometimes I wonder if it was because of him that the Wachowskis gave Neo the name Mr. Anderson. Calling him Mr. Grimm would have been a bit obvious.

If you follow the sun, you’ll find that, as fall edges into winter, it slips further and further south. The angle of the sun’s rays gets shallower, and the days become shorter with the sun in southern skies. But every year, it turns back and begins its northward course right around the time of the winter holidays: a new light is reborn, and we can start fresh in a new year. The Winter Solstice.That said, many traditional cultures used the moon as an easier form of time-tracking. Her course, when accounting for the earth’s orbit around the sun, runs about 29-30 days from full moon to full moon. The moon cycle also divides neatly into four segments of about 7-8 days each, making it a useful way to mark the more practical weekly calendar. The moon traces more intimate rhythms, while the sun holds the broad, seasonal cycles.But the lunar and solar calendars are offset: while there are about twelve full moons in a year, that’s not quite enough to account for all the days between one winter solstice and the next. In fact, there are about 11-12 extra days after twelve lunar cycles before the sun synchronizes with the calendar again. So, in order to keep the daily household rhythm and the seasonal agricultural rhythm aligned, our ancestors simply inserted twelve extra days at the beginning of the year, right after the Winter Solstice. These days existed outside of the normal lunar calendar, and after they were over, the weekly reckoning could recommence and be in line with the solar cycle again. This, of course, is the origin of the “twelve days of Christmas”.

Do not fear or dread Mercury Retrograde. This popular nonsense about Mercury Retrograde being hellish, horrible and time to lock yourself away until it’s all over is all misguided and overwrought.
Mercury moves Retrograde on average about 1/3 of the year. We need to sleep 8 hours a day which is also 1/3 of our entire lives. Nature always does everything in balance. Even though Mercury Retrograde is an apparent illusion, it appears real and the planets are also symbolic indicators for us to take our cues from. Mercury Retrograde is a natural time to rest whenever it occurs. All you drilled in non-stop worker drones need to chill …

Salt infusions are handy to keep around, and pine (or cedar*) is one of our favorites to make. Both salt and pine are well known for their protective and purifying qualities. But while salt is feminine and earthy, pine is masculine and tied to the air. Combining these properties brings balance, creating a spell component that is more powerful then the sum of its parts. And it’s quick and simple to make. …

Not everyone celebrates the same during the holidays and gift giving varies from culture to culture. If you are looking to help someone’s life progress and know what they are currently struggling with, you cannot fail or tarnish your Karma if you are willing to help another, in fact, you are in turn balancing it. Good deeds are always rewarded three-fold … Read the article at the Source: Witches Gossip Corner ~ December 19, 2016 |
