Podcast 39 - Occult History of Judeo-Christianity

“… the price of ignorance is destruction … So if people want to continue being ignorant and think that every time you bring knowledge their way that it is some sort of a threat, then there is no hope for the human race … You can’t approach the archive of knowledge with fear. You should approach it with awe. But you should never approach knowledge with fear, because then you will only see the reflection of fear back. So it is not that these subjects are evil … or fearful, but people are approaching [them] with a wrong energy and a wrong attitude and it is like a mirror where you see your own reflection in it.”

Michael Tsarion returns in this episode to discuss the hidden lineage of western religion based on the research from his new book, “The Irish Origins of Civilization.”

Ancient trilithons like the one above are doorways through which the sun enters the world - a birthplace of light.

Michael talks about the worldwide megalithic, Druidic civilization, also referred to by some as the “lost civilization”, that built the great megaliths of antiquity in Ireland, Britain, Egypt, Lebanon, the Americas, Cambodia, etc. These enlightened societies were not divided racially, but along moral, spiritual, and intellectual lines. It is from these ancient peoples and their worldwide system of colleges and temples that the concepts of modern religion were taken.

Our conversation touches upon ancient Druids, Egyptian pharaohs, astrotheology, suppressed history, occult symbolism, etymology, mythology, and esoteric Christianity. Although we go into depth discussing these subjects, to truly understand the monumental significance of this all, read “The Irish Origins of Civilization.”

Podcast 37 - Jason Augustus Newcomb

clipped from www.occultofpersonality.com

In this episode, we’re joined by student, teacher, and author Jason Augustus Newcomb. Our wide-ranging conversation covers many areas including Jason’s path, his work with “The New Hermetics,” magickal practice, consciousness, and his writings.

Among his newer books that we discuss are “The Book of Magick Power,” a comprehensive and practical guide to the study and practice of the Art, and “The Brotherhood of Light and Darkness,” an occult novel set in modern times.

“I’d like to see people who are magickal attempting to get along better with one another. Not necessarily working together in circles, but working together in harmony to create a Divine world here on this plane. And I’d like to see people being good to each other. The injustices of the world are all within each of us …”

nobody@vox.com(Occult of Personality) — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 19:49:40 +0200

The Pharmacratic Inquisition 2007 - DVD Preview

From Jan Irvin:

It’s 07-07-07 and the new Pharmacratic Inquisition 2007 DVD is now available for purchase!

The DVD is available for order as of TODAY for only $19.95 at www.gnosticmedia.com or www.pharmacratic-inquisition.com

Watch a free 10 minute preview on John Marco Allegro from our video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuIQVfmBEp8

The content of the new video focuses on the suppression archaeoastronomy / astro-theology and entheogenic shamanism as they apply to the core of the world’s religions (especially Christianity). The DVD is meant as a companion for our book Astrotheology & Shamanism, but is great with or without the book.

This all new video is just under 2 hours in length, and much more succinct and to the point – that’s opposed to our 3.5 hour 2004 lecture version (under the same title) and currently available for free download on our www.gnosticmedia.com website.

We’ve updated information and corrected errors that were in the old version. We’ve given the entire video a new look and layout, and best of all, it’s available on DVD! You can finally take it with you to your friends and family to watch on their TV!

We’ve also got package deals for 5 DVDs or more and book/DVD combo deals too.

The new DVD includes original audio and images of John Marco Allegro - author of The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross - kindly provided for this production by Judith Anne Brown and the Allegro family. We owe the Allegro’s a huge thanks!

To those of you who’ve already ordered since midnight, many thanks for your much needed support!

Please distribute this email to everyone you know!

Best,

Jan Irvin & Andrew Rutajit

Occult of Personality podcast 12 - Michael Tsarion

clipped from www.occultofpersonality.com

I’m honoured to welcome to the show, researcher, author, teacher, and the most prolific speaker in the eso-research field today, Michael Tsarion.

Michael joins us to discuss the divination arts of the Western Magickal Tradition and how these systems derive from the pre-diluvian civilizations of the ancient world. The language and etymology becomes the key to tracing these relationships through history. We also touch upon the more modern resurgence in the occult studies beginning in the early 20th century. By learning to use these arts, we can begin to free our minds from the “technotronic age.”

"Revelations"

nobody@vox.com(Occult of Personality) — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 00:09:50 +0100

After the discussion the other day with Kent of The Kentroversy Papers about occult symbolism in rock music, I couldn't resist posting the lyrics (and video) of this song by the 80's metal powerhouse, Iron Maiden. Nothing subliminal here at all - this particular piece is so overflowing with occult symbolism that it is over-the-top.

Piece of Mind

Iron Maiden

Live After Death

Iron Maiden

"O God of earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our peolple drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us
But take away our pride"
(excerpt from an English hymnal written by G. K. Chesterton)

Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the Blind to go
A clever Path for the Fools who know
The Secret of the Hanged Man - the smile on his lips

The Light of the Blind you'll see
The venom that tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see

She came to me with a Serpent's kiss
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the Dawn

The Light of the Blind you'll see
The venom that tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see

Bind all of us together
Ablaze of hope and free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be king
The Watcher in the Ring
It is you

Esoteric Astrology & New Age Implications

nobody@vox.com(Occult of Personality) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 05:24:52 +0100

The study of astrology is inextricably linked to ancient civilizations and the origins of religion (astrotheology). Most are familiar with the 12 signs of the zodiac, the times of the solar year that they represent, and maybe even their characteristics. Of course, just like all occult studies, there is an exoteric and esoteric understanding of these concepts.

Zodiac wheel

The exoteric astrology is geocentric, or earth-centered. When the sun is said to be in the house of a certain sign of the zodiac, this means that the sun occupies the opposite house of the zodiacal wheel and casts its long rays into the house of the worshiped sign. If the sun is said to be (shining) in Taurus, then the sun is really (dwelling) in the opposite sign of Scorpio. Therefore, the esoteric astrology emphasized the worship of the heliocentric model, or the house of the sun's dwelling. [1]

The Secret Teachings of All Ages

While the ignorant multitudes worshiped the house of the sun's reflection, which in the case described would be the Bull, the wise revered the house of the sun's actual dwelling, which would be the Scorpion, or the Serpent, the symbol of the concealed spiritual mystery. [2]

So the first point to be noted is the esoteric, heliocentric nature of the astrology practiced by the wise. Next, note the significance of the sign of Scorpio - that of wisdom and "the concealed spiritual mystery." The esoteric sign is not the backbiting Scorpion, but the Serpent. Even more than that is the Eagle, Scorpio's ultimate sign. The sign of occult initiation, Scorpio - from the venomous of the earth to the king of the sky. [3]

Zodiac wheel

It is said by the ancients that there were originally only 10 zodiac signs, not 12 - Libra was added and Virgo and Scorpio were split into 2 separate signs. According to various sources, including Madame Blavatsky, the sign of Libra was inserted and divided the formerly unified sign of Virgo-Scorpio. The Virgin and the Serpent. Genesis, the Garden of Eden, and the "fall" of man.

Isis Unveiled: A Master Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Technology

This division was called Ezekiel's wheel and was completed in the following way: First came the ascending signs (euphermerized into patriarchs), Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and the group concluded with Virgo-Scorpio. Then came the turning-point, Libra. After which, the first half of the sign of Virgo-Scorpio, was duplicated and transferred to lead the lower, or descending group of Microcosm which ran down to Pisces, or Noah (deluge). To make it clearer, the sign Virgo-Scorpio, became simply Virgo, and the duplication, Scorpio, was placed between Libra, the seventh sign (which is Enoch, or the angel Metatron, or Mediator between spirit and matter, or God and man). It now became Scorpio (or Cain), which sign or patriarch led mankind to destruction, according to exoteric theology; but, according to the true doctrine of the wisdom-religion, it indicated the degradation of the whole universe in its course of evolution downward from the subjective to the objective. [4]

So the original 10 became 12. Virgo and Scorpio, the Virgin and the Serpent, linked in so many ways. So the second esoteric point is the origin of Virgo and Scorpio and the all the implications inherent in it.

Zodiac wheel

Next, the importance of the sign of Leo. When the sun arrives at the summer solstice (just before St. John's Day), Leo appears to lead the way,

Sphinx side view

... and to aid by his powerful paw in lifting up the sun up to the summit of the zodiacal arch. This visible connection between the constellation Leo and the return of the sun to his place of power and glory, at the summit of the Royal Arch of heaven, was the principal reason why that constellation was held in such high esteem and reverence by the ancients. ... "The lion was adored in the East and West by the Egyptians and the Mexicans. The chief Druid of Britain was styled a lion." [5]

It is clear how revered the sign of Leo is to the wisdom-religion. Of course, when these points are all considered as a whole, the implications for the coming New Age are rather revealing. This doctrine indicates that we are currently in the Age of Virgo, not Pisces, and instead of the Age of Aquarius that we have been led to expect - we will enter, esoterically, the Age of Leo as the sun will be dwelling in the house of the Lion. This new age will be signified by the height of solar power - power for those that worship the sun, and all that represents.

Then, indeed, will the secret religions of the world include once more the raising to initiation by the Grip of the Lion's Paw. [6]

Zodiac wheel

Esoteric astrology - consider it when you read about the coming New Age and 2012.
