The Spirit Of The Sun

“…the Middle Ages belief that each sign of the zodiac governed a certain part of the human body.” (Document D) The zodiac is a band of twelve constellations that stretch across the sky. For example, A woodcut called “Zodiac Man” from a book by German astronomer Johann Regiomontanus displays that Aries the Ram governs the head. Later, in 1543, more research was conducted by Belgian physician Andreas Vesalius.

Luckily, our neighbors to the East, the Arabs, found the documents to be of great interest and kept old Greek astrological records. In the Renisannce period of Christianity the church officials decided to re-examine the ancient records, and actually found some validity in some of the scientific data. Amazingly enough the Christian church decided to implement data from ancient pagan cultures to help create the most widely used calendar to date, the Gregorian calendar.

The traditions of Irminschaft, a Nordic tradition based on the deity Irmin, and Ariosophy, another tradition of Nordic paganism, are both known to use this symbol as a representation of the sun. However, besides those three traditions, this symbol does not see widespread use throughout the rest of the pagan community. This could very well have a lot to do with its use by neo-Nazis, though it could also do with the fact that it is simply not a well-known symbol. Still, it provides a fairly effective symbol for representing the sun, and is available to every pagan to

over all stars and people. The four World Quarter Stars: Sun, Moon, Bright Star (Evening Star), Great Star (Morning Star) were entrusted to hold up the heavens and create people. Von Del Chamberlain believed that the Sun is Morning Star’s younger brother and the Moon is

13) When we say a star “moves” on a H-R diagram we are not saying that it is physically moving from one place to another, we are saying that it is transitioning from one stage of its evolutionary life to another. For example we might say it is moving from pre-main sequence to main sequence. This means that the star has moves from an early stage in its life to the middle stage of its life. It has physically stayed in the same place in space.

An example of the symbolism of a Christ figure is when Gandalf and the dwarves are escaping from the goblins in the dark night. They had escaped from the goblins, but in doing so they had angered the goblins and now were

The purpose of the constellation as a calendrical marker for the oracle consultation was used most likely up until the fifth century BC (Salt and Boutsikas). Rituals and sacrifices are the core of every Greek cult, and fire is present in almost every cult act. For the Greeks, these acts were done because of their belief in the existence and power of the gods. “From a Greek point of view, the gods not only existed prior to the rituals practiced but were regarded as the ultimate reason for these rituals” (Auffarth). Greek art and texts present these gods as the originators of ritual practice such as “libation and animal sacrifices” (Auffarth).

Have you ever been to a Chinese restaurant that handed you a paper with a bunch of random animals and years on it? Most people will just throw it away and not pay that much attention to it. That little piece of paper contains a basic information about the Chinese Zodiac just enough to get you hooked. There are many people all over the world that very much believe in the ancient Chinese Zodiac. The Chinese Zodiac can be helpful for finding the current Chinese year, what animal people are, and can help make decisions.

It was the Beginning of the End. All of the creatures of the Zodiac fiercely contained in one room never led to anything other than pure, indestructible evil. Each creature sat under its exoteric ruler: the Ram under brutal Mars, the Bull and the Scales under lovely Venus, the Twins and the Maiden under speedy Mercury, the Crab under the glowing Moon, the Lion under the blazing Sun, the Scorpion under both Mars and Pluto, the Archer under Jupiter, the Sea-Goat under Saturn, the Water-Bearer under both Saturn and Uranus, and the Fish under both Jupiter and Neptune. All the beings were focused and not a sound was heard high on Mount Olympus. The Gods were having their usual disparity: power and greed. Some of the Constellations were confused

The fourth sign involves Jesus multiplying bread and fish which can be translated to mean that Jesus is the creative word. He is the giver of life, which is what the bread would represent. Jesus proves himself to be greater than Moses by being the true creator of man’s provisions. Jesus points out that he can give physical life, but most importantly give spiritual life because he is the true bread of life. The Messiah is expected to feed people miraculously, which is exactly was Jesus does in the instance. This would then mean the people recognized that he was a Messianic figure. Due to the misinterpretation because of the earthly minds that people have, they wanted physical life and not the spiritual sense of it. Therefore, they wanted to make Jesus an earthly king instead of the Messianic figure that he was. Jesus then had to point out the true meaning of what he had done emphasizing that those who go to him in faith will find life. False faith would mean that the people believed in the miracle but not in who Jesus truly was. Receiving life through Jesus would illustrate a trusting response to him and who he truly was, the son of God.

Prejudice causes a permanent scar on the people targeted. For centuries it has resulted in foolishness in the minds of people that has destroyed lives. When the seeds of prejudice grows to exponential amounts in someone’s mind it can transform into a vicious hatred. This disdain can affect everyone in a society like weeds in a garden. Prejudice because of race, religion, and socially can destroy and alter people’s lives detrimentally.

It first stuck out to me as a glimmer a hope appearing, meaning they had almost made it through the night. That gave them the motivation to keep going. The morning star could also symbolize God as during the night, light was nowhere to be seen and hope was a thing of the past. The only thing they could see was their lives flashing before their eyes, but when the light appeared, they knew that they had done it. This made me realize how important of a role religion played back then and how people’s faith had to be stronger than ever before during that

The Great Sun Spirit and the Great Moon Spirit came together and created the Earth. Wherever the Spirits shone their light other spirits started to come to life like the trees and the rivers. Then the great and powerful Moon and Sun Spirits came together to create the first Cherokee man and women and told them to populate this new earth the two spirits had created. The Cherokee man and women eventually had their own children and they told their children to always do as the Great Spirits say and to never disobey them, they told their children this everyday. Eventually the saying was past down until a young Cherokee boy generations later forget to listen to his parents teachings and disobeyed the Great Spirits by leaving the tribe to set out

Jesus performed eight signs to display his deity. The first sign that Jesus performed was turning

One notices that all of these symbols are from times nearing the end (or at the end) of Jesus' life. (Think of a point to do with this).
