Olympic origin, Goddess Races and the Tarot

The history we’ve been taught is 99% lies. Talk about Colonization, originated in Patriarchy and the 1% who rewrote to suit their needs. The #Olympics were founded by female partheno- genesis priestesses who raced in honor of Hera. The Olympian Games started in The Heraean Games, dedicated to Goddess Hera, the queen of the Olympian gods, later Zeus’ wife, was the 1st official women’s athletic competition to be held in the Olympic stadium at Elis. The 6th century BC, games were held in the Olympic year itself, prior to the men’s games.

The 1st woman champion of the Olympics was Cynisca, A Spartan woman who won the four-horse chariot race twice, in 396 and 392 BC. She was honoured by a bronze statue of her with chariot and horses, “The Chariot” in Tarot #7 erected in the Temple of Zeus in Olympia. The statue had an inscription declaring that she was “the only woman in all Hellas to have won this crown”.

“The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won the stadion race, a 600 foot long race. Some literary traditions, this was the only athletic event of the games for the first 13 Olympic festivals or until 724 BC. From 776 BC, the Games were held at Olympia every four years for almost 12 centuries.”

Contrary evidence, -WHICH IS ALWAYS THE REAL TRUTH- both literary and archaeological, suggests that the games may have existed at Olympia much earlier than this date, perhaps as early as the 10th or 9th century BC.  A series of bronze tripods found at Olympia, some date to the 9th century BC,  suggested that these tripods-famous for the TRIPLE GODDESS-HEKATE, or the Maiden, Mother, Chrone may have been prizes for some of the early events at Olympia

“The Temple of Hera, or Heraion, is an ancient Archaic Greek temple at Olympia, Greece, that was dedicated to Hera, queen of the Greek Gods. It was the oldest temple at Olympia and one of the most venerable in all Greece.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Hera,_Olympia

i also feel that the origin of the word Heretic was originally from HERA.

“A heresy is a belief that doesn’t agree with the official tenets of a particular religion; heresy is the maintaining of such contrary beliefs.

Heresy can be used figuratively: to disagree with the school committee’s decisions is considered pure heresy by the faculty. You’ll often come across this word in a religious context — the Latin root haeresis, “school of thought or sect,” was used by Christian writers to mean “unorthodox sect or belief.” This comes from the Greek hairesis, “a taking or choosing,” from hairein, “to choose.” A person who chooses to believe in heresies is called a heretic.” https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/heresy

This is the Instagram article that my friend and colleague Michelle White Hart who is part of the Womb Technology Group posted about the origin of the Olympics https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7TieMBvj6/?utm_medium=share_sheet quoting from scholar Marguerite Rigoglioso PHD. books -Virgin Mother Goddesses of Antiquity and The Cult of Divine Birth in Ancient Greece https://www.amazon.ca/Virgin-Mother-Goddesses-Antiquity-Rigoglioso/dp/113729342X/ref=pd_lpo_2?pd_rd_i=113729342X&psc=1

When you visit the Temple of Hera at Olympia, you’ll notice small vertical cuts on the columns of the east façade of Heraion. According to scholars, these cuts were made in ancient times to host the portraits of the young girls who had won running races in honour of Hera, Zeus’ wife, who was also worshipped in Olympia.

Lilith in Gemini Part 2

Lilith, one of my fave Astrology and Archetypal queens moves into GEMINI July 18 until April 14, 2-2022. GEMINI is the sign of duality, choices, thinking, communications, marketing, analysis, childlike, social butterfly, non-committtal, merchandising, and tricksters.

I see Lilith as ruling SCORPIO totally. She is tied to sexuality, menstruation- retreating to the Red Sea is an obvious metaphor, taboo things, death, transformation, abortions,  all the feminine mysterious, power control secrets, which are projected onto Her.

Note the significance that the death bringing feminine aspect of Nature came before the life bringing Shekinah aspect of God who appeared after the 2^nd woman Eve was created and she and Adam were “expelled from paradise in shame.”

Lilith, the most demonized figure in the Bible, is the very first woman created equal to Adam from the red earth it says in the original Mystic Secret Initiated version of the Bible, she is as a positive death bringing aspect, like Kali and 1/4 of God or All that Is which is beyond what we can fathom. She was so powerful that spells, incantations and amulets were regularly worn by pregnant women and one who had just given birth, This is an ancient Babylonnian incantation bowl against Lilith the Hag and Child stealer.

“Thou Lilith. . .Hag and Snatcher, I adjure you by the Strong One of Abraham, by the Rock of Isaac, by the Shaddai of Jacob. . .to turn away from this Rashnoi. . .and from Geyonai her husband. . .Your divorce and writ and letter of separation. . .sent through holy angels. . .Amen, Amen, Selah, Halleluyah! ~ Babylonian bowl inscription (600 C.E.)”

LILITH , Black Moon Lilith, was the original WOMAN before Eve. Do rituals to her on all NEW/DARK MOONS

The Goddess was worshipped everywhere on the earth up until 5 thousand+ years ago. She was the Great Mother of All. Everyone had common sense, and everyone was born of woman, so it was obvious who the Creatress was. Lilith is a very powerful archetype.

LILITH is the Original Goddess/Woman one half of Go*d’s feminine side. She is a Dark Angel. She refuses to compromise and be less than Adam who tried to dominate her sexually- a very modern story. She demands equal rights in partnerships. She refused to submit sexually to Adam and chose to leave Paradise and live by the Red Sea leaving Adam alone. The back story is really about men feeling innately powerless against the Goddess. The Bible is a manmade creation to manipulate women to control their sexuality and power.  In Christianity Mother Mary is the life-giving aspect. Lilith is like the opposite dark death bringing aspect like Nature.

LILITH is shown Lilith was demonized as a vampire, harpy, and child killer by the Patriarchy to scare women and men from consorting with Lilith’s power, seductive uncontrollable independent sexual energy.  She is really a symbol of Menstruation and the Jewish fear of menstrual blood and its life-giving powers for self-conception.

Black Moon Lilith is not a physical object but the geometric point in the sky that marks the furthest point of the moon’s orbit around the earth. (Because the moon’s orbit is elliptical, it has two center points; one is the earth, and the other is Black Moon Lilith. There is another Asteroid Lilith and Mean LILITH too, it can be confusing. I choose to use this one.

Lilith symbolizes an aspect of the dark void. She spends approximately nine months in each sign, aligning to the period of pregnancy. Black Moon Lilith represents many things, psychologically your unconscious primitive impulses and behavior in the rawest form. She is related to dreams, and sexuality expressed repressed. Lilith symbolizes our need to be alone and our fear of it. Lilith is also our fear of being vulnerable and intimate. She is your Sex Goddess.

QUESTIONS ABOUT LILITH

Do I feel rejected for simply being a woman? Why do I give in and compromise? How does Lilith operate unconsciously in me? How have I swallowed the Patriarchal lies about women and my sexuality? How can I honor Lilith’s independence, refusal to compromise and sexual energy in me?

REMEDY: Invite Lilith to empower you. Refuse to compromise to please others. Invite her to speak to you in dreams. Honor your right to be alone.  Lilith wants equality not power over. The #MeToo movement is Lilith’s energy embodied. She is especially a Dark New Moon Goddess.

As Lilith travels through GEMINI for the next 9 months we can expect lots of forked tongues, two-faced relationships, immaturity, double-speak, waffling, and projections onto any female, or feminine aspects, or anyone who is seen as a threat, troublemaker or doesn’t talk the proscribed talk. You get where this is going right?

NOTE WHERE GEMINI is in your astrology chart to track which part of your chart LILITH will be igniting your passion and desire to be treated as an equal or be willing to be alone, Lilith will be lighting up your sexual energy opening it to many new experiences. Expect to experiment with open relationships with having two partners at once. Many bi-sexual relationships will start and flower over this next 9 months.

Lilith has been attributed to rule Gemini? I saw that somewhere, which I could possible see an aspect of. I’m not sure who came up with that attribution except that She is one half of the entire Feminine aspect of All That Is, that’s all.

Lilith Saturn Galactic truth heals rape culture

Proof of the karmic endings to the Patriarchal rapist Old Boys Club like Harvey Weinstein with SATURN Lord of karma truth and Justice at the Galactic Center is bringing with Lilith and Chiron in Pisces. Wounded women Speak your truth.

Not to mention that Jupiter- Head honchos entered SCORPIO sign of sexual secrets power death and change on Oct. 10th. How obvious can it get? Just read the signs and symbols.

LILITH the Dark feminine who speaks her truth and refuses to be sexually assaulted or less than equal to a man has been crossing the Galactic Center since the last week as the story broke. She is broadcasting that message loud and clear.

Burney_Relief_Babylon

In the “As above so below” ancient Hermetic philosophy; what do we see happening above?

SATURN @ 22 degrees SAGITTARIUS is moving into an exact conjunction with the Galactic Center at 26 degrees 59 minutes of SAGITTARIUS. Saturn is our reality check builder and commander and it has been close to the Galactic Center for all of 2017 and will continue into early 2018.

Because the G.C. is so vast a larger orb of influence can be used as much as 5 degrees either side. Saturn will be exactly on the G.C. on November 25th but its effects are already happening and we are seeing the evidence.

The G.C.  is a gigantic Black Hole which sucks all matter into it. It is as big as 4 million Suns and is 25000 light years away and its powers are enormous. 

To the Ancient Maya, the Galactic Center or central dark rift in the Milky Way which can clearly be seen was considered to be the Cosmic Vagina or Great womb of birth and rebirth. All souls were considered to be birthed through this black hole and to return to it.  When planets conjunct or square it they are the transducers of this energy. Remeber that Saturn only crosses the Galactic Center once every 28-29 years. 

In 1781 when Saturn was on the G.C. as it is now the planet URANUS was discovered which changed everyone’s reality in a huge way. Technology expanded our capacity to see out into space.

In October 1929 the Great Stock Market Crash happened. When Pluto crossed the G.C. in 2008 that caused another great market collapse.

SATURN is the planet of 3D physical reality. The planet of limits maturity and endings known as The Grim Reaper. Saturn in Sagittarius is truth honesty transparency and justice.

MERCURY was at 27 VIRGO at the end of SEPTEMBER opposite to CHIRON @ 27 PISCES squaring the Galactic Center just before the Weinstein story broke.

CHIRON is squaring the G.C. exact since mid-April and slowly moves to 24 degrees PISCES  at the years end still in square. This Wounded Healer is bringing up old buried emotional karmic woundings. This aspect with SATURN on the Galactic Center is one of the hallmarks of 2017

VENUS will cross 26 Virgo exact and square the G.C. on the 12th and 13th.

Friday the 13th is VENUS’s day. 13 being the number of lunations in a year. 

WOMEN will be feeling the benefits now. 

OCT. 15 Mars opposes Chiron @ 25 Virgo/Pisces squaring Saturn @ 23+ degrees SAGITTARIUS

More rape sexual assault and bullying stories will be heard. Healing remedies must be applied. The victims of the abusers need emotional healing womb cleansing karmic healing and support. New laws or legislation will be put into place. This will not just blow over or go away. 

OCT 16 SATURN Trines ERIS in ARIES @ 23 degrees 

More shit disturbing from women feminists activists and the like will be heard. Women should be holding torches and marching and yelling and throwing incendiary remarks at the entire patriarchal structure; putting the blame on the Bible and a culture which is totally sexist. 

Oct 16-18   LIBRA SUN and SATURN in SAGITTARIUS create a FINGER OF GOD pointing to CHIRON in PISCES. This points towards endings and healing of the karma in the wounded collective unconscious. Pisces symbolizes unconditional love as the source.

This is a very powerful aspect. The old “Finger of God” is an accusatory Patriarchal image. This can now be turned around to giving the finger to the Patriarchy.

Leading up to November 25th when Saturn conjuncts the Galactic Center focus your meditation on tuning into the Galactic Yoni/womb for advice. This is a once in 29 year cycle. It is majorly important to clarify your message; teaching-learning traveling and expanding yourself as a vessel of truth and justice to benefit and uplift all.

It’s also a painful vulnerable time. Women who have been victimized for thousands of years via the Bible for their sexuality twisting the whole mechanics and making the women responsible for men being unable to control their desire. WTF is that all about?

MEN need to re-educate themselves and their sons. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently spoke in Washington about this. perpetrators and bullies. Organized religions needs to be understood as a key message to put down women. Men must grow up and take full responsibility for being the perpetrators and bullies. Religion must be dismantled to change sexism at its most basic levels.  Jeff Brown Canadian author made his apologies to the Feminine which sparked worldwide interest years ago. 

Well it’s karmic justice time guys. That is exactly what LILITH the archetype of the first woman wanted in the first place. Now is the time. 

I am sounding the death of the patriarchy starting now. 

I will create a platform for a collective worldwide meditation on the 25th. Stay tuned. I have my Mercury right on the Galactic Center I will be meditating and tuning in.

Mercury Conjuncts Jupiter, peace message

Mercury and Jupiter conjunct today on the 11th @ 7 degrees LIBRA. 

This is a mind meld of the planet of communications, mental facilities, with opportunity, expansion, positive energy, trust, and faith. We can focus our intentions on communicating love and balance in our relationships, connections, and networking. BE THE CHANGE. Be a peace-making, balancing legal matters, active listening, counselling, and being able to see others’ points of view. We certainly need all of that in the world and in our personal lives these days.

The planet MARS is also involved at 9 degrees Capricorn, squaring both Mercury and JUPITER. This puts the energy into being a soldier of love, of aggressively making peace, a contradiction in terms. Capricorn is physical reality, maturity and the Patriarchy which Donald Trump symbolizes and is part of. This energy also involves corporate matters, career goals, and long term gains. The governments are interceding in a peacemaking process, or legislating new plans to do so. This can also indicate the opposite, an aggressive act, getting in the way of peacemaking as we are seeing in Syria between Russia and the U.S. There are serious repercussions here. 

MARS in Capricorn square to Mercury and Jupiter in LIBRA symbolizes the onslaught of fighting words around the inequality of the sexes. The election is now only 28 days away as of the 11th today.

1 million women tweeted about their sexual assault issues within hours after Trump’s lame assed apology for saying such sexist horrid things about women. Like anyone believes it. He is such a misogynist.

The irony is Donald Trump is bringing that shadow out into the open so that it can be dealt with. It actually helps women to take their power. I realized that Donald Trump is the Elephant in the Room.

The elephant is the REPUBLICAN symbol. LOL.  Trump is actually doing everyone a favor in his own ridiculous way. The reaction he is causing to his childish, selfish behaviours is stirring up most sane women, who represent more than 50% of the population. 

Mars will have an exact conjunction on the October 13th @ 11+ degrees CAPRICORN.

The election is now only 28 days away as of the 11th today.

It will be one hell of a last debate too, because October 19 has a MARS-PLUTO CONJUNCTION @ 15+ degrees which triggers the last CARDINAL SQUARES from URANUS and PLUTO into full action again. Someone may get hurt. REVOLUTION!

If you have planets at 6+ degrees Libra- You get the golden-tongued gift of the gab and may be called upon to broker a deal or be a go-between in a personal manner in the next few days.  If you have planets between 3-9 degrees of Libra and the other Cardinal signs- Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn you also get the benefits today.

Breathe in PEACE, be peace, embody peace. LIBRA brings GRACE.

OLD WOUNDS that haven’t been fully licked clean yet, the poison hasn’t been ingested, the full extent of the PTSD hasn’t been cognizantly recognized MUST BE FULLY FELT.

We’ve all reelling from the atrocities of the two sisters in INDIA who were brutally raped then hung in a small village last week. My heart prays for the souls of the two young girls so brutally terrifyingly tortured. World wide MISOGYNY is the main sickness of the world from which all other sicknesses stem. I could write a small e-book about that. And I will. There are really important issues in the world that are fully coming out now. We must act and make sure that there are world wide sanctions against INDIA, punishment is meeted  out where it is due. Massive re-education is necessary everywhere. PISCES is the ocean, the womb from which all life evolved. PIsces is the spiritual womb and home, our origin and destination. We are all ONE in that Cosmic bliss. We must use our sense of unconditional love but also karmic balance is necessary. 

SUmmer solstice JUNE 21 @ 3:51 am PDT/6:51 am EDT
