The Vault of Amoun Temple

I have recently discovered an interesting titbit of information regarding Amoun Temple – the London based temple of the Stella Matutina, which was extant during the early part of the twentieth century. Specifically, what it used as its Vault of the Adepti. Amongst the papers emanating from Amoun Temple was one written by Finem Respice (Robert Felkin) concerning the use of the Vault of the…

"Stella Matutina (Morning Star)" Luciana Nedelea

The Illuminati Formula Used To Create An Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave is reaching new heights in silly.

They're claiming that the Illuminati creates alters with Illuminati sensibilities in Good Christian Citizens, so that said alters can effectively serve as "super spies" to spy on the Christians and tell the Illuminati what the Christians are up to:

The proper training of a person for this role would be long and tedious, but once he was trained, you would have a super spy compared to which any creation in a mystery story is just plain weak. This is what the Illuminati have done. They create good Christian fronts, with Illuminati dark alters who can see what the Christians are doing.

Hmmm... a long and tedious process, you say? Hmm, imagine if there were easier ways to get this information... like reading Christian publications, listening to Christian radio, watching Christian television, visiting Christian websites, or just attending church services... it's not like these people just blast their agendas to anyone who'll listen 24/7 or anything...

The fact that there are people vain enough to think that there are secret conspiratorial cults going to all this work to do all of this unnecessary spying is kinda funny, IMO. Christofascists are some of the most self-absorbed fuckers on the planet.

Later, Cisco Wheeler cites the lyrics from "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera as an example of a "hypnotic script." Yeah, it wasn't like, a song written for a character who was canonically supposed to be creepy or weird or anything.

Seriously though, this is a great example of how conspiracy theorists ruin art. Anything that's a little weird or uncomfortable to them must be some sort of evil programming. God forbid they have to understand things like context and artistic intent and shit like that.

Next is a list of things that supposedly keep a child's mind dissociative. One item on the list is spending fifteen minutes a day writing backwards, an obvious mutation of the old "witches recite the Lord's Prayer" canard. Because writing backwards doesn't cause dissociation. You just learn to write backwards.

And the rest is pretty typical torture stuff; many of which genuinely happen in actual child abuse cases, but in the context of the conspiracy theory are given special significance, because... shitty parents don't just abuse their kids for no reason, I guess.

And the book claims that Billy Graham was a Monarch handler. I really have no idea why conspiracists have singled him out among all the other celebrity preachers of the time, lemme go look at his Wikipedia page...

...Oh well he wasn't a total dick; he refused to glue himself to the Moral Majority or the GOP, pushed for military disarmament and AIDS support; yeah, that might have something to do with it.

Oh hey it's that Saturn worship thing (links to antisemitic conspiracy theories) with extra antisemitism by linking the Anti-Christ to Kabbalah:

The AntiChrist is also known as Black Saturn, and other names. Satan himself is known within a Monarch system often by the name Bilair, Bilar, or Bilid which are his cabalistic names.

Conflation of "the occult" with Wicca:

In the occult world, goddesses are triune: maiden, mother and crone. The one to the left of center is Midnight (the Mother figure), and the other is Morning Star (the maiden). Morning Star (Stella Matutina) may be a very young alter, rather than a teenager.

If you think this is bad, shit's about to get much, much worse.

So first of all, the book claims that The Wizard of Oz is an Illuminati thing, and has something to do with ancient Isis mystery religion:

One of the secrets of the Mystery Religions, especially the Egyptian Isis mystery religion was the ability to use drugs and torture to create multiple personalities. The word Oz is known to have been used by its author as an abbreviation for Osirus.

And then.

And then.

There's THIS fucking whopper:

The Grimm brothers, who were cabalistic jews, gathered the folk occult stories together. Their stories are full of spells, trances, and drugs. Sleeping Beauty is put to sleep, and the trigger to wake her is a kiss on the lips. These are serious hints that the occult world didn't stop programming people with dissociative states and triggers when the ancient Egyptian empires fell. Instead of using modern lingo such as "hypnotize", they would say "cast a spell."

The Grimm Brothers? Jews? Of ANY kind? Holy shit, you'll just pull anything out of your asses, won't you?

By the way, pinning the conspiratorial blame on Kabbalistic Jews specifically is how a lot of the conspiracy theories Nazi Germany believed in were made palatable for American gentiles post-WWII. Most Christians would agree that full-out mass slaughter was a little unfair. Many Christians could agree, though, that everyday Jews were perfectly fine people; they just needed to accept Jesus. And believing that it's just those Kabbalistic Jews who are the problem doesn't feel as hateful as all that Nazi shit. Must be totally different, right?

Nah.

Rehabbed conspiracy crap is still crap.

Stella matutina. Lucifer the fallen angel's big 3.

How Lucifer’s big 3 could look like?

(\ (\

(˶ᵔ ᵔ˶  )

─ꐑ─ꐑ──────────────  

Sagittarius Sun

Lucifer is an uncontrollable soul. He is the teacher who does teach other angels the independence of thought. Lucifer figure kind of makes up a paradox. His name means „Light Bringer”, however not many of people associate him with light. We rather perceive him as a fallen god’s favourite absorbed in absolute darkness. Lucifer brings light to our minds, he brings enlightment as he brought it to his brothers’ minds. His desire for freedom and equality is untamed. It is everything he wished for and it was all what he has got punished for. I personally believe christian god is the one who is full of haughtiness, not the Morningstar. God is absolutely terrified of thought he could lost control, of him not being the highest being, meanwhile his greatest creation and favourite turned out to be everything the god hates and is afraid of. Therefore he threw his son into the hell to punish him for his own fears. Lucifer has got punished for his father’s own fears. Furthermore, as the Sun represents the father, God’s attributes can be associated with Sagittarius archetype.

Aries Moon

We talk a lot about an Aquarius in context of being rebelliant, however Aries is the truest rebelliant to my mind. In the world that takes no place for individualism, having your own mind and having your own moral compass – Lunar Arieans are bold enough to separate themselves from a crowd. They have strength to follow their own path. They are faithful to their beliefs and values. Lucifer fought for what he believed in and never backed down.

Scorpio Rising

Many of people would give him a Leo Rising, however I can not see him being an opposite for Aquarius. I believe he’s just perceived by people as a Leo archetype, as Lucifer is described to be charismatic, prideful, arrogant and blinded of his own splendor. He also is described as a lion seeking for victims in the First Epistle of Peter. Therefore he could be a Leo MC, since Medium Coeli is how we are perceived by others. As Mars and Pluto ruled, Lucifer is driven by passion and purpose. He is determined to achieve what he’s going for. He has got an indomitable character. Beside that, I think Mars and Pluto themes suit Lucifer’s existence well.

Pedro Sáenz y Sáenz: Stella Matutina (1901)

[incoramsanctissimo]

It's 5 am and I can't fall back to sleep so I wrote this poem about Venus, which I currently see through my window, and also about the Blessed Virgin.

STELLA MATUTINA

Morning star,

Cool calm serenity, shaking the sleep-fog

Of early risers

Passionless shimmering, quieting the brain-heat

Of buzzed late-nighters

Presiding over prayer in dim chapel

And silent room

before the dawn.

Today will be better. God help the day be better.

Darkest before the dawn, chillest in the last

Reaches of the night.

Highest in hope, before the glare of the day.

The noonday devil crushed beneath the feet of

The bright morning star.

Corto Maltese and Hugo Pratt ( Part IV ) :

Dans Sous le soleil de minuit (2015), se déroulant en 1915, Corto Maltese arrive au Panama aux côtés de Raspoutine pour retrouver son ami écrivain Jack London. Dans l’album Équatoria (2017), Corto part en 1911 à la recherche d’une relique des croisades, « le miroir du prêtre Jean », ce qui l’amène en Egypte et au Soudan. Le Jour de Tarowean (2019) dévoile les événements qui précèdent l’apparition de Corto Maltese, attaché sur un radeau au large d’une île de l’océan Pacifique dans La Ballade de la mer salée, la première aventure publiée par Hugo Pratt.

Nocturnes berlinois, sorti en septembre 2022, est le 17 ème album de la série. Il nous emmène en un lieu qui n’avait pas encore été exploré par Corto : Berlin. On découvre, en 1924, la république de Weimar minée par les organisations d’extrême-droite (ici, l’organisation Consul) et les revendications communistes. Corto Maltese recherche à Berlin et Prague les assassins de son ami juif Steiner. Son enquête l’amène à s’introduire dans une société secrète ésotérique : Stella Matutina. Cet album présente l’originalité de confronter Corto Maltese aux prémices du national-socialisme, influencé par le fascisme italien. On se souvient de l’histoire personnelle d’Hugo Pratt : son père, fasciste, entraîna son fils encore adolescent dans l’aventure coloniale italienne en Ethiopie. L’organisation Consul, qui a réellement existé, était composée de personnalités issues de la bourgeoisie, de la noblesse et de l’armée, parmi lesquelles l’écrivain Ernst von Salomon. Pratiquant des assassinats politiques, elle ne devint jamais un mouvement de masse, à la différence du parti nazi. Autre surprise, Corto joue le diable dans un film expressionniste allemand, évoquant Faust de Murnau.

Le dessin de Pellejero quitte la sobriété des premiers albums pour devenir davantage réaliste. Ce Corto est le meilleur réalisé par le duo d’auteurs espagnols.

4- Parallèlement, depuis peu, toujours chez Casterman, le scénariste Martin Quenehen et le dessinateur Bastien Vivès réalisent une histoire différente de Corto, puisque contemporaine et modernisée. Elle n’entre pas dans la numérotation officielle des albums de Corto Maltese

Dans Océan Noir (2021), Corto est un pirate de vingt ans, beau, mystérieux et insoumis, légèrement féminisé, en jean, tee shirt blanc et casquette. En 2001, il récupère un livre, le commentaire royal des Incas, qui le met sur la trace d’un trésor mais aussi d’une secte japonaise d’ultra-nationalistes réfugiée au Pérou.

Dans La reine de Babylone, sorti en octobre 2023, Corto s’embarque en 2022, dans le port de Venise, avec la belle Semira, dont il est amoureux. Sur le yacht, des généraux serbes font un trafic d’armes de l’ex-Yougoslavie avec les services de sécurité irakiens. Mais Semira, jeune musulmane Bosniaque rescapée, assassine l’un des serbes dans les toilettes. Puis, en zodiac, Corto rejoint Semira en Croatie. Avec les bosniaques, ils commettent un acte de piraterie. Mais Semira est tuée par l’un des bosniaques, Célo. Corto cherche à la venger. Approché par les forces spéciales américaines qui recherchent en Irak, à Babylone, le trésor d’Alexandre le grand, il est enlevé par des islamistes qui lui coupent un doigt. Corto parvient à s’évader. Cette aventure est dynamique et légèrement romantique.

Le dessinateur Bastien Vivès, pour d’autres albums que Corto Maltese, a récemment été accusé d’avoir réalisé des bandes dessinées au message pédopornographique et incestueux. Dans son Corto Maltese, son graphisme décontracté opère une rupture avec le style d’Hugo Pratt. Au noir et blanc de Pratt vient notamment s’ajouter l’emploi intensif des gris.

Mais ce Corto Maltese reformaté n’a plus rien à voir avec l’ancien. De Hugo Pratt, que reste-t-il ?

5- Heureusement vient de sortir Mongolie, une suite de Corto Maltese en Sibérie, par Lele Vianello, l’ancien assistant d’Hugo Pratt.
