he zodiac" and the church festivals today are based, not upon historical dates in connection with the outstanding religious figures to which they refer, but upon the times and the seasons. we saw how in the birth at bethlehem the date was fixed astronomically nearly four centuries after christ was born. the combination of virgo with the star in the east (sirius, and the three kings (symbolised by orion's belt) was the determining factor. the virgin was seen in the east, with the line of the horizon passing through her centre, and this is one of the factors determining the doctrine of the virgin birth. another instance can here be given to illustrate the astronomical background of our christian festivals. there are two festivals kept in the roman catholic and the higher anglican churches, c

ch the soul attracts around itself. it should be remembered here that the opposite sign to taurus is that of scorpio, and these two signs constitute the [47] field of a stupendous effort on the part of hercules; for in one he wrestles with the problem of sex, and in the other, he overcomes the great illusion. significance of the constellations the three constellations connected with this sign are orion, eridanus, auriga; and the nature of the work in taurus is beautifully foretold by the three pictures in the heavens which they present to us. the ancient name of orion was "the three kings, because of the three beautiful stars found in orion's belt. the three kings represent the three divine aspects of will, love and intelligence, and orion, therefore, symbolizes the spirit. the name orion

more closely we study this heavenly picture book, the more we realize that ever before us is held the symbol of our divinity, the symbol of the soul in incarnation, and the story of matter, as it receives purification and glorification through the laborious work of the soul. the second constellation connected with this sign is an immense river of stars, which streams forth from under the feet of orion. it is called eridanus, or the "river of the judge, and is a symbol of the river of life, carrying souls into incarnation, where they learn the meaning of the words "as a man sows, so shall he reap, and where they undertake the stupendous task of working out their own salvation. just as orion [48] symbolizes the spirit aspect, so eridanus concerns itself' with the form-taking aspect and hold

er-dimensional beings created mystery schools and a secret society network in atlantis and lemuria to pass on levels of their knowledge to chosen initiates. legends claim that a race came to the earth from sirius, the "dog star" and brightest in the sky, which is some 8.7 light years from here. the term "dog star" comes from its position in the constellation of canis major and it is also known as orion's dog" the legends and accounts say that the beings from sirius brought an infusion of highly advanced knowledge to atlantis and lemuria-mu and founded the atlantean mystery school. according to robert temple in the sirius mystery (destiny books, vermont, usa, 1998, the dogon tribe in mali, africa, claim that beings from sirius visited their ancestors and gave them knowledge of the universe

of the human physical form and there are endless bloodlines among us, not just those of the anunnaki reptilians. from what i gather from my research and insider information, there has been a long battle in many parts of the galaxy between the blond-haired, blue-eyed "nordics" of lyra, the pleiades, aldebaran and elsewhere, and factions of a reptilian race based in the constellations of draco and orion and within the sirius network. it is possible that at least some of the reptilians originated on the earth and were driven out or, literally, forced underground at some point by the "nordics. this is not to say that all of these peoples are involved, only that significant groups of them are. this battle on earth is symbolised by stories such as the phoenician "st george" defeating the dragon

s backed by the freemasonic royal society in london, for instance, and columbus was sponsored by king ferdinand and queen isabella of the land we now call spain, and the infamous illuminati bloodline in venice, the de medici family. they all go back genetically to the kings of sumer and beyond to atlantis and lemuria. another key bloodline in the illuminati to this day is the house of lorraine (l'orion) in france. they employed columbus, too, and there was another famous figure of history, who worked for both the house of lorraine and the de medici family..nostradamus. michel de notre dame or "michael of our lady" had phenomenal esoteric and healing knowledge for his time because he was connected to the bloodlines that held, and still hold, the ancient knowledge from sumer, atlantis and le

ce lived in a tropical region that is now the gobi desert in china-mongolia. they developed a technological society that included nuclear energy and the flying machines the vedic records call vimanas. these nordics were constantly challenged by a race of reptilian shape-shifters based in the then sub-tropical antarctica, doreal says he learned. it is certainly true that the pleiades (nordics) and orion (reptilians) are said in ancient texts to be, at least symbolically, associated with death and destruction on earth. antarctica is where, apparently, some nazis fled after the war and there are many tales of an underground base there. doreal says he was shown how these "chameleon" reptilians infiltrated human societies in their battle for control of the planet. one way these shape-shifters w

uding diana, artemis, athene, semiramis, barati, britannia, hecate, rhea, persephone("first serpent) and so on. these same names have also been used to symbolise esoteric concepts like the phases of the moon and female energy, but at its foundation this goddess worship of the illuminati would seem to relate to the dna transmitted through the female and possibly originating in the constellation of orion. i have heard this dna source symbolised in various cultures as the dragon queens, the orion queen or queens, and the "snake mother. from what i am told by insiders and serious researchers, the full-blown reptilian society has its own version of queen bees, which produce the eggs from which the bloodlines and their offshoots, originate. artemis, a key illuminati goddess, is depicted with egg

ingian bloodline, so connected to artemis/diana worship, is the bee and the hive. you also find this symbolism in freemasonry. the reptilians and greys have been described over and over by abductees and experiences as having a kind of swarm or hive mentality, very much like bees, and they have worked to make the human race a mirror of that. researcher frans kamp also came across this theme of the orion queen "the bee-queen has a herd. the memories of the herd/swarm are transferred to them by the female/queen. a chemical substance/hormone 'pheromones' is required for this in the same way as melotonin is needed for more intuition [interdimensional connection. the memories are the typical rules of behaviour of the herd. an animal is 146 t the dragon queens 147 pure subconscious. he lives on i

the egyptian year. in the pyramid texts, sopdet is named as a manifestation of the goddess isis. later in egyptian history, sopdet was equated with the eye of ra and the heliacal rising of her star was linked to the myth of the return of the distant goddess. sopdet formed a triad with the star gods sah and sopdu-hor. sah is almost certainly the great southern constellation known to the greeks as orion. the pyramid texts describe sah of the long stride as a stellar manifestation of osiris. as the lone star, sopdu-hor acted as the herald of the sun god morning and evening. various forms of horus were equated with other planets such as mars, jupiter, and saturn. it is possible that the planet mercury was associated with seth. the constellation we know as the great bear was interpreted by the

eternal rivalry or opposition of these principles, ever pursuing one the other, and one dethroning the other in every annual revolution, and at a particular period, one in the spring under the bull, and the other in autumn under the scorpion, by the legendary history of osiris and typhon, detailed to us by diodorus and synesius; in which history were also personified the stars and constellations orion, capella, the twins, the wolf, sirius, and hercules, whose risings and settings noted the advent of one or the other equinox. plutarch gives us the positions in the heavens of the sun and moon, at the moment when osiris was murdered by typhon. the sun, he says, was in the sign of the scorpion, which he then entered at the autumnal equinox. the moon was full, he adds; and consequently, as it

and cut it into fourteen pieces, the number of days between the full and new moon, and in every one of which days the moon loses a portion of the light that at the commencement filled her whole disk. the sixth full moon occurred in libra, over the divisions separating which from virgo are the celestial ship, perseus, son of the king of ethiopia and bo tes, said to have nursed horus. the river of orion that sets in the morning is also a paranatellon of libra, as are ursa major, the great bear or wild boar of erymanthus, and the dragon of the north pole, or the celebrated python from which the attributes of typhon were borrowed. all these surround the full moon of libra, last of the superior signs, and the one that precedes the new moon of spring, about to be reproduced in taurus, and there

ht always reigns, with harmony and order, and she borrows from him the force which is to destroy the germs of evil that typhon had, during the winter, planted everywhere in nature. this passage of the sun into taurus, whose attributes he assumes on his return from the lower hemisphere or the shades, is marked by the rising in the evening of the wolf and the centaur, and by the heliacal setting of orion, called the star of horus, and which thenceforward is in conjunction with the sun of spring, in his triumph over the darkness or typhon. isis, during the absence of osiris, and after she had hidden the coffer in the place where typhon found it, had rejoined that malignant enemy; indignant at which, horus her son deprived her of her ancient diadem, when she rejoined osiris as he was about to

ed triangle, illustrate the 47th problem, and display the grand master's square upon the skies. denebola in leo, arcturus in bo tes, and spica in virgo form an equilateral triangle, universal emblem of perfection, and the deity with his trinity of infinite attributes, wisdom, power, and harmony; and that other, the generative, preserving, and destroying powers. the three kings form, with rigel in orion, two triangles included in one: and capella and menkalina in auriga, with bellatrix and betelgueux in orion, form two isosceles triangles with tauri, that is equidistant from each pair; while the first four make a right-angled parallelogram--the oblong square so often mentioned in our degrees. julius firmicus, in his description of the mysteries, says "but in those funerals and lamentations
