Correspondents of the Constellation Era Christine Hackett My journey into the Order of the Eastern Star has been enlightening with moments of frustration. The Order of the Eastern Star does very much to enhance each member philosophically, spiritually and socially, but all too often this beautiful work remains hidden in plain sight. My thirst for knowledge and passion for mystery inspired me to seek profound truths as they relate to the deeper meaning and purpose of the Order of the Eastern Star. Over the last three years, I have contributed countless hours and resources in my quest to understand the Great Mysteries of this organization. In the process, I asked numerous questions pertaining to the Constellation …show more content…
Having all respect for our amazing universe, the Astronomy intricately woven into the walls of the Order of the Eastern Star is by far the most fascinating, yet brilliantly concealed additions to this organization. Astronomical science is embedded into every officer, emblem and movement in the chapter. The beginning of Astronomy predates all Mystery Schools, religions and benevolent societies -- therefore, it is pertinent to thoroughly understand the original intent of building the OES on its heavily scientific foundation. Do not err and overlook astronomical connections directly related to the current position of the "Star of Bethlehem," which I encourage you to explore on your own for more understanding. The evolution from French Adoptive Masonry to the Order of the Eastern Star can be divided into four eras: 1. The First Era (Colonial) includes all times prior to 1855, French Adoptive Masonry was first introduced into the colonies by the during the American Revolutionary War. it is asserted the Order of the Eastern Star was introduced by French General Marquis de Lafayette (Steber,
In today's society, constellations are known as a group of stars that when viewed from our planet earth, form a pattern that we can see at night with the unaided eye. There are also groups of constellation families; such as the Ursa major family, the Perusues Family, the Hercules Family, the Orion Family, the Bayer Group, the Heavenly Waters, the La Caille Family and finally the most known constellation group; the Zodiacal Family. The zodiacal family consists of the zodiac constellations signs. These signs usually describe your personality and who you are as a family. The constellation, Leo, is my zodiac sign, and in my particular interest for it depicts who I am. The Leo constellation is the twelfth largest constellation in the night sky and
Every culture known to history and anthropology has seen in the heavens distinctive patterns, called constellations, and formed by the stars.Constellations are usually comprised of bright stars that appear close to each other. There are 88 'official' constellations have known and my favorite one is Phoenix because it was named after the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes so this story makes this constellation interesting . Phoenix constellation lies in the southern sky and It is a relatively small constellation, but it is the largest among the 12 constellations created. The constellations Phoenix, Grus, Pavo and Tucana, are known as the Southern Birds.
Throughout our existence, mankind has looked up to the stars with a fantastical wonderment that excites a feeling of the unknown. In order to understand the heavens above us, ancient cultures created grand mythologies utilizing valiant heroes, gods, and life practices and then imbedded these stories into the stars in the form of constellations. One of these cultures is the Navajo Native American tribe that resided in the southwest region of the United States. By viewing these constellations and the myths behind them, we can learn about what they Navajo held scared and how they viewed the world around them.

Astronomy was very influential in religion. Star worship and ceremonies have common ground when it comes to astronomy and religion.
Orion is my favorite constellation because it is one of the easiest to find and most recognizable. This makes it one of the most popular constellations. Orion's belt includes the three brightest stars in the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, Orion is a fall and winter constellation, visible from November to February. One of Orion's "stars" is actually a nebula, the Orion nebula.
One of the most familiar constellations in the night sky aside from the Big and Little Dipper is Orion, the Hunter. Made identifiable by the three bright stars that make up "Orion's Belt", Orion is easily recognized throughout the world due to the convenient position upon the celestial equator, allowing the constellation to be seen from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. I chose this constellation as my favorite because it was, in fact, one of the first myths that I had ever learned, and also because it was the easiest constellation that I was able to find from my Constellation Atlas as a child. The constellation of Orion is comprised of mostly of blue stars: young, hot burning, giant stars that range from 243 light years to 1,359
The constellation Sagittarius, also known as 'The Archer' in Latin, is fascinating. Research done on this cluster of stars shows that it was documented in the second century by a Greek astronomer named Ptolemy. Sagittarius is the fifteenth largest constellation overall, it occupies eight hundred sixty-seven square degrees and contains the most stars with known planets. This cluster of stars is in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The brightest stars in the constellation come together to form a pattern of stars called the Teapot. The myth behind the stars is what lead me to my ultimate decision to choose Sagittarius.
Your Honor, I request to represent myself due to the financial in ability to retain an attorney. I plead Guilty to the suspended license charge; I was not aware, and not guilty to the failure to report charge. You’re Honor on August 5th 2014, after getting off work I went to a 7/11 of Newtown Road and Lake Edward Drive. I was simply there to grab a bite to eat. Once I purchased the items, I went to my vehicle the only car in the parking lot of the 7/11 roughly around 3:00am in the morning. Once I became secured in my vehicle seat belt on and ready to head home, I look over both shoulders and rearview mirror before backing out of the parking spot I was in.
I've picked the constellation, Aquarius, as my topic for this assignment. I chose this star constellation because my sign is Aquarius, therefore I thought it would be fun and entertaining to do for the project and I would also love to learn more about my sign. The Aquarius is located in the Southern Hemisphere and is one of the oldest recorded constellation of the Zodiac. It is a very large constellation; it spreads out over 980 square degrees and it is the 10th largest constellation in the sky. There aren't many bright stars in the sky, so it's hard to see without a telescope in handy, but you can try and see if you can find it with the naked eye! The Aquarius was recorded during the second century by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy. The constellation name means "cup bearer" or "water bearer" in the Latin language. The
The constellation that I have chosen can be viewed from the north side of Tishomingo in midwinter. The Ohenie Drum originates from Native American culture. An old ancient tribe called the Ohenies used to use this drum to call upon an unknown force that would obey most wishes when asked. Only oldest and wisest of the tribe could use this drum. The drum would only be used if two thirds of the men agreed upon the reason for summoning the force. This drum’s ability ranges from being able to destroy a whole army, to granting food, or even able to heal major wounds. Originally the drum was only known to exist to original tribe that had found it in a mysterious cave.
Hello "rickykillaz" here, Here just putting up some For Honor game play footage I thought it would be cool. I dropped some random footage because I play For Honor a lot and it is one of my favorite games to play right now. The first video is "Live" which is me going up against one of the biggest characters in For Honor history, the moment is called "Clash Of The Titans". The second video is called "View" which is me going around and show you the view of For Honor, while doing the "Chameleon Run" and show of my armor, Dou watch and
There were two major star groupings that the Greeks and Romans both looked up to, literally. First there was the Ursa Major. The Ursa Major constellation looks like a bear and is from yet another myth with Zeus or Jupiter if you prefer, sneaking off to see a beautiful maiden, Hera/Juno finds out and to save the maiden he turns her into a bear. This maiden-bear has a son but she gives him up to the villagers to raise. He becomes a hunter and one day sees his mother, though he has no idea the bear running towards him is his mother. Thinking he is being attacked he shoots an arrow. But before the arrow hits his mother Zeus/Jupiter stops it and changes the maiden-bear’s son into a bear as well. Then he throws them into the night sky to be sure that no harm could come to them. In the process though, the tails
This great Center seems to be associated with the Pleiades, particularly with Alcyone, the central star of this renowned group. For this reason the suggestion has been made that the Pleiades may represent the Residence of Jehovah, the place from which He governs the Universe. This thought gives new force to the question which the Almighty asked the patriarch Job: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth the constellations of the Zodiac in their season?"-- 'Job 38:31,32'. There seem to be fewer stars in the North than in any other part of the heavens. Thus the North seems to have been given a very prominent position, the other points of the compass giving it homage, as it were. This
Earth’s galaxy, the Milky Way consists of more than 100 billion stars, many of which can be interpreted by human visual perception, while other can only be observed with the aid of a magnifying or light-collecting optical device such as a telescope. The stars are organized into various groupings according to their visible arrangement as observed in earth’s atmosphere. Human beings from cultures of eras bygone such as the Greeks, Romans, and Babylonians, and bestowed most, if not all of the titles upon the constellations as we know them today. Earth’s atmosphere comprises eighty-eight constellations, of which I have chosen the following five to discuss for my laboratory report: Andromeda, Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Draco
