A winged disc is used in this motif. The Red Star, which may be one of many global iconic interpretations of the symbol of ancient Nibiru, is clearly seen here lording over its binary companion, the Sun. a brown dwarf that is the planetary centre of their system, and our Sun. Our Sun would appear to them like a large star at that distance, around which the Dark Star system winds in its great, loosely bound orbit. "BCDE is the world of the son of the red dawn (Lucifer)(...) to which shone all the rays of the light of divine majesty." The third world consists of the 12 choirs of the angelic hosts. Through his arrogance, Lucifer causes "the confusion of his wonderful spirit-world with the earthly one". The main star is a large yellow one (the Sun), and the small companion is a dark red one (the Dark Star). The Dark star is associated with the Star of David, which verifies its Messianic significance. It is clear that the upper red orb isn't the Sun because of this connection with the Star of David. This is a 12th Century painting of the Cosmos by Hildegard von Bingen (found in the Rupertsberg Codex). It appears to show a red star lying outside a dark layer, which itself is beyond beyond the stars. The red star moves around the Earth and Moon (centre) in an oval shape, creating a cosmic egg. "But your head I will hide, that the world shall not see you..." Thus the Dark Star becomes an unfamiliar, hidden Sun, banned from the solar system for its cosmic 'sins'. Two Kings are depicted, the older one seemingly drowning (King Urizen?) whilst the younger contemplates his sudden royal ascension clothed in garments clearly intended for a bigger man! The younger king's sceptre is adorned with seven stars, and in his left hand he holds a yellow orb upon which sits a dove. |

In 1326 a shepherd discovered the icon following a message and miraculous appearance of Mary and her shrine was erected in Guadalupe, Spain.

The Orisha are multi-dimensional beings who represent the forces of nature. They have attributes and stories similar to the stories and attributes used to describe the ancient Greek and Roman pantheons. To the followers of Santeria, however, the Orisha are not remote divinities; on the contrary, they are vibrant, living entities who take an active part in everyday life. Ase, which is also spelled “Axe,” “Axé,” “Ashe,” or “Ache,” is the life-force which runs though all things, living and inanimate. Ase is the power to make things happen. It is an affirmation which is used in greetings and prayers, as well as a concept about spiritual growth. Orisha devotees strive to obtain Ase through Iwa-Pele or gentle and good character, in turn they experience alignment with the Ori or what others might call inner peace or satisfaction with life.

Ọlọrun literally means "Owner of the Rainbow Womb" in Yoruba, and represents a concept similar to the Brahman of Hindu cosmology - being not an Orisha or Deity per se, as much as the sum total of all divinity, and the source of all Ashe/Axé (that is, the life-force or divine power; compare to the ancient roman concept of "numen" or the oriental Chi/Ki).

He is the patron of smiths and is usually displayed with his attributes: machete or sabre, rum and tobacco. He is one of the husbands of Erzulie and is a husband of Osun and Oya in Yoruba mythology. Ogun is the traditional warrior and seen as a powerful deity of metal work, similar to Ares and Hephaestus in Greek mythology. As such Ogun is mighty, powerful, triumphal, yet also exhibits the rage and destructiveness of the warrior whose strength and violence can turn against the community he serves. He gives strength through prophecy and magic. It is Ogun who is said to have planted the idea, led and given power to the slaves for the Haitian Revolution of 1804. He is called now to help people obtain a government more responsive to their needs. His possessions can sometimes be violent. Those mounted by him are known to wash their hands in flaming rum without suffering from it later. They dress up in red, wave a sabre or machete, chew a cigar and demand rum in an old phrase "Gren mwe fret" (my testicles are cold). Often this rum is poured on the ground then lit and the fumes pervade the peristyle. The sword, or much more commonly, the machete is his weapon and he often does strange feats of poking himself with it, or even sticking the handle in the ground, then mounting the blade without piercing his skin.

The energy given from this Deity of Thunder is also a major symbol of African resistance against an enslaving European culture. He rules the color red and white; his sacred number is 6; his symbol is the oshe (double-headed axe), which represents swift and balanced justice. He is owner of the Bata (3 double-headed drums) and of music in general, as well as the Art of Dance and Entertainment. How Proper for the ceremony.the same old song remains;) Obatala, the king of the white cloth was travelling and had to cross a river. Aganju, the ferryman and god of fire, refused him passage. Obatala retreated and turned himself into a beautiful woman. He returned to the river and traded his/her body for passage. Sango was the result of this uneasy union. This tension between reason represented by Obatala and fire represented by Aganju would form the foundation of Shango's particular character and nature. In further patakis Sango goes in search of Aganju, his father, and the two of them play out a drama of conflict and resolution that culminates with Shango throwing himself into the fire to prove his lineage. Worship of Sango enables- according to Yoruba belief- a great deal of power and self-control. Sango altars often contain a carved figure of a woman holding a gift to the god with a double-bladed axe sticking up from her head. The axe symbolizes that this devotee is possessed by Shango. The woman’s expression is calm and cool, for she is expressing the qualities she has gained through her faith. The orisha, or gods, are Yoruba ancestors or incarnate natural forces The deity, Sango, is represented by wind. In art, Sango is depicted with a double-axe on his three heads. He is associated with the holy animal, the ram, and the holy colors of red and white. |

The Santería/Yoruba tradition is comprised of a hierarchical structure according to priesthood level and authority. Orisha "ile" or temples are usually governed by Orisha Priests known as Babalorishas, "father of orisha", or Iyalorishas, "mothers of orisha", and serve as the junior Ile or second in the hierarchical religious structure. The sacred belief system of the Lukumi prevent non-adherents from participating in ceremonial rites. Nearly all Lukumi ceremonies are reserved for priests and the newly initiated. Santería was traditionally transmitted orally, although in the last decade a number of books have been published on the tradition. Practices include animal offering, dance, sung invocations to the orishas, and sprinkling elemental mercury around a home. Drum music and dancing are a form of prayer and will sometimes induce a trance state in an initiated priest, who become possessed and will channel the orisha, giving the community and individuals information, perform healing etc. (see Yoruba music).

This stems from the belief that the "soul" resides in the head. From the feet(ground) to the head(sky) Pal norte towards the north |

A winged disc is used in this motif. The Red Star, which may be one of many global iconic interpretations of the symbol of ancient Nibiru, is clearly seen here lording over its binary companion, the Sun. a brown dwarf that is the planetary centre of their system, and our Sun. Our Sun would appear to them like a large star at that distance, around which the Dark Star system winds in its great, loosely bound orbit. "BCDE is the world of the son of the red dawn (Lucifer)(...) to which shone all the rays of the light of divine majesty." The third world consists of the 12 choirs of the angelic hosts. Through his arrogance, Lucifer causes "the confusion of his wonderful spirit-world with the earthly one". The main star is a large yellow one (the Sun), and the small companion is a dark red one (the Dark Star). The Dark star is associated with the Star of David, which verifies its Messianic significance. It is clear that the upper red orb isn't the Sun because of this connection with the Star of David. This is a 12th Century painting of the Cosmos by Hildegard von Bingen (found in the Rupertsberg Codex). It appears to show a red star lying outside a dark layer, which itself is beyond beyond the stars. The red star moves around the Earth and Moon (centre) in an oval shape, creating a cosmic egg. "But your head I will hide, that the world shall not see you..." Thus the Dark Star becomes an unfamiliar, hidden Sun, banned from the solar system for its cosmic 'sins'. Two Kings are depicted, the older one seemingly drowning (King Urizen?) whilst the younger contemplates his sudden royal ascension clothed in garments clearly intended for a bigger man! The younger king's sceptre is adorned with seven stars, and in his left hand he holds a yellow orb upon which sits a dove. What's coming... |
