The myth of Adam and Eve may have been written in the Age of Gemini

Associating with the first appearance of man and woman on earth, Gemini makes the first human appearance in the zodiac, following Mars, Aries (Adam) and Venus, Taurus (Eve).

Eden was a product of the preceding agricultural Taurus Age.

Adam symbolised the animus, masculine principle and eve symbolised the anima, feminine principle. Adam and Eve are also Castor and Pollux, the twins immortalised in the Gemini constellation

The sign of Gemini is the union of these polarities, yin and yang, shadow and light,

the forbidden fruit from the tree of life was consumed in their desire for knowledge through the awareness of duality, good and evil. The snake informed eve that should she eat from the tree, 'your eyes will be open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil'

The shape of the apple held in the hand of eve resembles the Mercury glyph ~ Cherry

Lamb of God: Horus, Christ, and the Labarum

The development of the Sun-god archetype in Early Christianity was shaped by the preceding language and symbolism of Egyptian and Greco-Roman religions. When Constantine first beheld the vision of the labarum, the prevailing patterns of syncretism had already provided a shape and direction for the form that the early Christian Sun-god would take. It was represented by the Greek symbol of Chi-Rho.…

Tbh I want to beleove in deities and worship them but I don’t know if I can get myself to truly believe in a god I’m not sure what to dooo.. can someone be a polytheist or pagan of some kind who worships celestial bodies or some kind of part of nature rather than gods?… but honestly I want the gods I just. Ach

Hello, friend!

Astrotheology is the worship of the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.

Nature worship is a very broad category that is seen in many religions, but boils down to the worship of natural phenomena.

You can also worship nature spirits like the nymphs in Greek mythology.

If you're having trouble believing in deities, my advice is to sit with it for a while. It's totally okay to not believe in any deity, and believing will not strengthen your spirituality.

I have now interest in Astrotheology. Don't know much about it but I'm curious about it.

Astrotheology - A Form Of Public Theology

Astrotheology, astral mysticism, astral religion, astral or stellar theology is the worship of stars, planets, and other heavenly bodies as deities or the association of deities with heavenly bodies. In anthropological literature these systems of practice may be called subtle cults.

This seems more how I write, figuring it out (or not and ending up stuck) as I go.

But the date September 22nd is striking. Like, that's pretty near the autumn equinox, yes? Was Gandalf a solar figure who began to decline and then died only to later return? This is a known myth pattern. Or was he representing light in general and the decline of light and hope for a time? Or was Gandalf a constellation that didn't appear at the expected date due to precession of somesuch? Or was it all just a coincidence because this was someone's birthday or something?

Posting this for the people who think that Tolkien's world-building was something complete and entire and finished before he started to write.

You always learn and discover your story and your world as you write. Sometimes you are just the first reader.

Also, notice how the word “Sin” is actually the Moon. The Moon plays a big part in our Emotions. In ancient times, the name of the Moon goddess was Sin. So when churches and such use the word “sin”, it really just means to get caught up in your emotions. Has nothing to do with disobeying the church, Jesus, or God. This is why in the Bible we have Moses going on top of Mount Sinai. Sin means “Moon”, and Ai meant “mountain”. So thus, it was the mountain of the Moon God. This is also why many depictions of Moses, have him with horns on his head.

A review of A Draconian Egyptian Grimoire

A Draconian Egyptian Grimoire by Bill Duvendack and Asenath Mason, 2019. As a magician and scholar with a focus on Egyptian religion and African spirituality I particularly enjoyed the research that went into this book. Although it is written as an introduction to the nightside of Egyptian religion, it also emphasizes how deeply occult writers like Kenneth Grant were inspired by both Egyptian…

I have not been assessed for and therefore have not been diagnosed for or with specific neurodivergence.

But let me tell you about my interests and how I do them in streaks.

The Transformers - I have been into these giant alien robots since I was a 12-year-old girl. I'm not that person who can tell you all about JG1, but I know a lot, I collect the toys, I paint some of them, I write fics, I design OCs sometimes, I'm not super good at drawing them, but I try. Violin Ravage, think about it.

Angelology - I got super into this sometime after someone (Neil Gaiman?) recommended the book A Dictionary of Angels. I then acquired a whole shelf full of books about angels with religious and less religious takes and got super into the hierarchy(?) of orders, but got frustrated that there was no consensus on the number and names of these, so I just made my own system

Vampires - sometimes before during and after Anne Rice (RIP) was writing the Vampire Chronicles, like in my teen years and on, I watched so many vampire movies and read so many vampire books. Fiction and lore and even a few true crime type works.

Writing original(?) fiction - After I tried writing some primitive legally-dissimilar robot-like alien stories and got frustrated that they seemed juvenile, (and also after the age I had read The Sandman comics) about the age of attending college (art schools) I started writing fiction that was a mash-up of mythology, vampires, and ancient astronauts set in cities where I attended school (LA and NYC) that had all these androgynous supernatural beings and like gay art student characters. Then I just kept adding on to that series/universe without publishing any of it. Also got to the point of making an AU of my own work and writing that.

I know a lot about Ancient Astronaut and Ancient Alien theories.

Astrotheology - Graham Hancock led to me reading Hamlet's Mill and Hamlet's Mill led me down an astrotheology rabbit hole to the point where I want to (but fear my art skills aren't good enough) and started to develop a Tarot Deck where the poses on the cards are based on constellations, because I'm convinced that is what some of the older decks did - used constellations as the templates for poses. I made some YouTube videos about it but my computer's not really powerful enough for streaming.

I also know a little about Tarot and collect decks

building little things - I also build/decorate dollhouses and dioramas to house various dolls and action figures.

I also know a bit about upholstering human-scale furniture and related DIY crafts and refinishing.

Container trees - I don't always call them Bonsai but I got into gardening with vegetables in containers first, then moved on to in-ground vegetable and wildlife gardening and growing trees both in ground and in containers. My thing that I like to to get native trees for my region and grow those. I'm still trying to figure out how to get them to survive both summers and winters because the pots just don't have the same insulation and available water as the ground.

I play Dungeons & Dragons and also make and paint miniatures for ttrpg scale. I really want to learn how to play Transformers RPG. I started making some maps with cute roadway playtape without even having others to play with me.

honestly so much of the way we conceptualize autistic special interests is predicated on there not being anyone who shares them with us? and like. have you met humans. have you talked to any autistics. because lots of them are pretty interesting actually! and autistic people are often pretty good at infecting you with their interests so that you share them too even if you're not as motivated to fixate happily on them for their own sakes!

huge whorls of autistic-generated human communities exist, and people who aren't used to autistic people never seem to realize that Yes Those Are Also Autistics, often because people are used to autistic special interests occupying some very limited contexts like Computers because Computers were a big new societal innovation and community spinning up right when people also started thinking about autism as a Distinction Among Humans. Also Pokemon. And the Internet. Nineties kids know what I mean, eh?

anyway here are some heavily autistic communities that allistic people never seem to realize tend to concentrate autistics and be driven by them:

every non-commercial domestic animal fancy ever, including dog, cat, pigeon, chicken, and horse people; also includes a fair chunk of the commercial kinds but there are slightly less of these

fandom of any kind (for some reason--it's misogyny--no one seems to realize that this also applies to female-slanted forms of fandom focused on storytelling and modification as well as male-slanted ones that involve information curation)

religion. especially any kind that involves any kind of organization--less the charismatic ones that involve manipulating other people, more the kind that draw people interested in the way that religion works. less/more is not all/none.

kink and sexuality generally and also gender. we think a lot. it's a problem. and we get snagged on stuff. plus sensory shit ties into everything. just saying. e v e r y t h i n g.

academia. look we get. we get interested in things. if you get interested enough in things people call you an expert and sometimes they give you money. money is nice. it lets you buy more objects of special interest.

acting. we wear masks all the fucking time and we get caught up in it. which makes you think about structure, eh?

comedy. ditto.

building shit. admittedly the allistics have largely noticed that engineers concentrate us by now but it has taken a surprisingly long time to realize that this also applies to other, older crafts.

fibercrafts and textiles. what about "we like textures and also figuring out how things work" is a surprise to you. also math. again the answer to how the allistics keep failing to notice this one is "there's lots of ladies in there."

I bet I'm missing plenty that I'm just not thinking of but my god, man, look at how many of these things touch us! look at how they shape our understanding of one another and ourselves! how cool is that

"Become the energy you want to attract."

We all know the law of Attraction but the dissection of thought is less known. Everything in existence is vibration and the visual reflection of vibration is geometry. Each pattern of thought has its own vibrational frequency and can contain over a paragraph of information. Masculine energy uses angles while feminine energy uses curves. This is the difference between the Sri Yantra or Metatron's cube and the Seed of Life patterns, but thought patterns can contain both.

There are four additional types of frequency in this respect. High and low can refer to violet and red because spiritual thoughts resonate higher than carnal thoughts. The other two can be called attuned and discordant. Though each chakra is on a different frequency than the others, if the root is in tune but all the others are discordant, it will be more powerful than the others. This is why love overwhelms fear. Anyone holding discord will typically have poor health.

Neuroplasticity gives us the ability to have memory and we can use it to reconstruct how our brains work. The spiritual science of this is called alchemy. Anthropomorphic thought patterns are represented in mythology, especially by the Greeks and gnostics. The Roman names are typically used in correlation with the planets which leads to astrotheology. Alchemical artists place certain symbols in specific places to convey how these thought patterns should interact to bring about a certain end result. Once enough work has been experienced, it will become much easier to help others along their journey.

The universe doesn't naturally operate in a negative sense. If we say we don't want something, we will only attract that something we are thinking about. If you don't want debt, you're giving energy to the topic of debt. Instead, the positive aspect would be to want prosperity. This is a shift in perspective necessary to be more attuned. It does not require that we just ignore our true feelings but, rather, transmute them. To agree with all our feelings, attach to our initial perspective of a situation and embody the ego's reaction would make us a product of our environment.

All humans originate from the same Source, so we are all connected. The collective ego of all humans is sentient which is why evil is intelligent. Gnostics call this entity Yaldabaoth. It plays humans like pawns, causes problems, escalates conflicts, exploits our weaknesses, etc. It is discord itself. For each of the chakras, and because Yaldabaoth is androgynous, it reproduced within itself 7 androgynous children called archons; his sons are envy, wrath, tears, sighs, grief, lament and tearful groans. His daughters are anger, pain, lust, sighs, curses, bitterness and strife, and they reproduce to form other, more complex thoughts based on the evolution of any scenario. These metaphysical parasites feed on negative energy we produce and the parasitic feeling is addictive. It is the proverbial 'slippery slope', like quicksand.

In severe cases, where the victim has been entirely enslaved, it is like meeting Yaldabaoth in human form. Many humans act as avatars for different demons. They are suggested thoughts they think are their own and, because of programming and lack of self-awareness, they act on behalf of whatever influence has exploited their greatest weakness. This is the essence of spiritual warfare and the reason why our struggle isn't against flesh and blood. If we use discordant energy to retaliate against other humans, we accomplish nothing but embody that which we say we are against, on which the archons feed.

Attuned and discordant can also be referred to as soul and ego, heaven and hell, awakened and ignorant, forward and backward, etc. Society's discord is an effect of individual discord. An utopia, where nobody is discordant, is the end goal of the teachings in the Bible. Following the procession of the equinox, in accordance with the Revelation, this will happen around the Age of Capricorn. The highest state of consciousness, Nous, is where we have a direct connection with Mind. The faculty which allows us to have noetic thought is called Christ or the Logos. The return of Christ is on an individual level and, eventually, will be like a metaphysical EMP which floods the earth eradicating discordant energy.

We are all capable of being psychic. Differing thought patterns emit their respective energy into the atmosphere and we can read it, but a distinction must be made. An aura shows the core state over a period of time, so reading auras is different than reading thoughts. It becomes easiest after analyzing the energy of each thought we have without bias. Becoming familiar with the energy of our thoughts helps us recognize the energy signature someone is giving off. The tool which allows us to perceive the metaphysical side of reality is called the third eye.

There is an argument about whether the third eye is good or bad. This is because a hammer can be used to build or destroy. It is part of our anatomy so it depends on the user, through Lucifer or through Christ, with discord or with atonement, through Phosphorus or through the Pentagrammaton. In English gematria, Lucifer and Jesus both equal 74. This is not because they are the same; it is because they are two sides of the same coin. It's all about perspective and through which side the third eye is used. For a physical analogy, try looking through the peephole of your front door from both sides. The difference in perception is between internal and external awareness.

"We can not do injustice to another or harbor thoughts of revenge without building into ourselves the nucleus of the very condition thought about. The plot, the very wish that injury may befall someone, builds cells of a similar quality within ourselves which, because of their discordant composition, because given a feeling of malice, not only work from the four-dimensional plane to bring about the injury contemplated but, due to their essential vicious nature, also work to attract misfortune to ourselves.

Both the ductless glands of the physical body and the thought-cells of the four-dimensional body take orders as they come. It is not within their ability to reason and make decisions; only to obey. If, therefore, the thoughts are evil, or the emotions run wild, they act as thus directed, unaware that destruction follows to their master."

Brief Personality: Nova is a eccentric person, he often goes on ramblings about the stars and constellations to anyone he comes across. He is genuinely sweet and caring but is a little odd. He tries to make people happy, even sometimes at his own expense.

Brief Backstory: Nova was born to be in the Circus. Before the war they acted as a clown in many different shows and performances against his will. After the incident, Nova felt incredibly lost. They hadn’t turned and were confused on their objective now that they had none. They started to stare up at the stars at night and formed a connection with them. He began to read and study everything he could about space and the stars, they explain switching as their very own supernova, and that’s why he named himself that. Nova never was on either side of the revolution even after turning, they weren’t made for the horrors of the war and couldn’t perform adequately as a solider. So he instead took care of people, he notably took care of Alexander when he was fighting in the war.

Now Nova is an astronomer and studies the stars for a living. He has able to make a name for himself doing what he loves.
