Astral Worship – Anniversaries of Solar Worship – The Nativity
Written by psychiclineadmin on March 2, 2009
Applying the anniversaries inculcated in the worship of God Sol to his imaginary incarnations, the founders of the ancient Astrolatry made them refer to the several stages of human existence from infancy to mature age. Hence, comparing the first day of infantile life to the shortest day of the year, it would naturally be expected that they would have placed the anniversary of the Nativity exactly at the Winter solstice; but, having conceived the idea that the sun stood still for the space of three days at each of the cardinal points, and making it represent the figurative death of the genius of that luminary, they fixed the date for its observance three days later, or on the 25th of December. The Gnostic adherents to the ancient solar worship, or those who were conversant with the teachings of the Esoteric philosophy, knowing that the dramatis personæ of the fable of incarnation were pictured with stars upon the azure vault, recognized the woman “clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars,” referred to in Revelations xii. 1, as the Virgo of the Zodiac; they also knew that she was the true queen of heaven and mother of God; and that the infant, anciently represented in her arms, and with whom, in their day, she arose on the Eastern horizon at midnight on the 24th of December, was the same of whom the people were taught to sing at Christmas “Unto us a child is born this day.”
With the knowledge of these facts we can readily see that this is the Virgin and child which constituted the originals of those exquisite paintings, by the old masters, known as the Madonna and Child.

Written by psychiclineadmin on February 24, 2009
The authors of the original solar fables, having lived in that remote age in which physical prowess was recognized as the highest attribute of humanity, conceived the idea that
God Sol, while passing through his apparent orbit, had to fight his way with the animals of the Zodiac, and with others in conjunction with them.
Hence, designating him as the Mighty Hunter, and calling his exploits the twelve labors, they made the incarnate Saviours the heroes of similar ones on earth, which they taught were performed for the good of mankind; and that, after fulfilling their earthly mission, they were exhaled to heaven through the agency of fire. When these fables were composed the Summer Solstice was in the sign of Leo, and making the twelve labors begin in it, the first consisted in the killing of a lion, and the second, in rescuing a virgin (Virgo) by the destruction of a Hydra, the constellation in conjunction with her. Upon one of the Assyrian marbles on exhibition in the British Museum these two labors are represented as having been performed by a saviour by the name of Nimroud. In the constellations of Taurus, the bull of the Zodiac, and of Orion, originally known as Horns, in conjunction therewith, we have groupings of stars representing the latter as one of the mighty hunters of the ancient Astrolatry, supporting on his left arm the shield of the lion’s skin, the trophy of the first labor, and holding a club in his uplifted right hand, is engaged in performing the tenth labor by a conflict with the former.
The fable of the twelve labors constituted the sacred records or scriptures of the older forms of Astrolatry, one version of which, written with the cuneiform character upon twelve tablets of burnt clay, exhumed from the ruins of an Assyrian city, and now on exhibition in the British Museum, is ascribed to Nimroud, the prototype of the Grecian Hercules, and of Nimrod, the Mighty Hunter of the Old Testament.
Virgo – The sixth astrological sign of the zodiac
Written by psychiclineadmin on November 28, 2008
Virgo, commonly known as the virgin, is the sixth astrological sign of the zodiac. If your birthday falls between August 23 to September 22, then your sign is Virgo.
Like most of the other signs, Virgo is no longer in line with the constellation of the same name due to the precession of the equinoxes. Virgo is also an Earth sign, meaning that Virgos can be very stable and rational. They’re also hard working and realistic individuals.
Virgo is a negative introverted feminine sign. It’s also one of the mutable signs which means that it straddles two seasons. Because of this duality, Virgos tend to be versatile and adaptable and are very good with change.
Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury, and interestingly is the only female that’s used in the zodiac.
From Greek mythology, the constellation Virgo comes from the the virgin daughter of Zeus and Themis. Her name was Astrea, and she was known as the goddess of justice until she became so disillusioned and disgusted with the ways of mankind that she returned to the heavens.
Virgos are typically very analytical people, with great insight and reasoning skills. They tend to be very precise and methodical, paying close attention to the most minute details. They’re highly intelligent, and are often very clever and witty. They strive for perfection in most of their endeavors. In social situations, Virgos are very refined. Politeness and good manners are a hallmark of the Virgo.
Good career choices for Virgos are those that require attention to detail and are methodical in their pursuit. Some great occupations for them are scientists, doctors, technicians, teachers, and lawyers.
Famous Virgos include Lyndon Johnson, Leo Tolstoy, Prince Albert, Richard Gere, Alan Dershowitz, William H. Taft, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Stephen King, and Yasser Arafat to name a few Tags: earth sign, female, feminine sign, horoscope, introverted, mercury, mutable sign, negative sign, virgin, virgo, zeus, zodiac
