CHAPTER THIRTEEN

From Heaven to Earth

Open your eyes and see the lessons of the signs of the Zodiac. They come to teach us that although the powers of the constellations are exceedingly great, and from the beginning of the creation their influence governs the mundane world – Rabbi Bachaya (Kad Ha Kemach)

Humbly following in the footsteps of Alvin Boyd Kuhn, we continue exploring the occult roots of Judeo-Christianity, keeping in mind the considerable debt Judaism and Christianity owe to Astrology.

Activities in the heavens were reverently studied by adepts of several ancient civilizations. The greatest of these include:

The Druids

The Gaels (Scythians and Celts)

The Phoenicians

The Babylonians (Sumerians, Amorites, Medes, Parthians)

The Chaldeans

The Egyptians (Amenists and Atonists)

The Maya

The adepts of these cultures personified the passage of the sun through the zodiac. They devised the story of the solar hero or sun king and his twelve trials. They personified the circumpolar region and devised the story of a paradisiacal garden with central tree and protecting serpent. They personified the great cross of the zodiac and invented the story of the crucified godman. All this they accomplished without forgetting the stories were representative illustrations and symbolic metaphors or allegories for actual perceivable phenomena on earth and, more particularly, in the heavens above:

The Egyptians were quite aware that their creation myths were not to be believed in as historical events but as symbols of the way in which the universe was run – R. T. Rundle Clark (Myth and Symbol in Ancient Egypt)

For the Egyptians, mythology was not a collection of texts but a language. This is fundamental. It explains why the doings of the gods could be altered, be expanded and even reappear with other protagonists without apparent inconsistency. But myths do not have to be consistent. They belong to a way of thinking in which consistency in the logical sense is irrelevant. The myth is a way, and before the emergence of lay philosophy with the Greeks, the only way to express ideas about the cosmos or the needs of the human soul. This is why Egyptian mythology is so simple, so absurd and sometimes so profound. It is dream, metaphysics and poetry, all at once – ibid

It was in later times that Christian mythmongers rescripted Astro-Theological leitmotifs as physical biographies and histories. If this were not madness enough, they compounded their folly by demanding that every Christian wholeheartedly accept the veracity of the astrographs and mythographs being put before them as actual events and biographies. The believer obediently followed orders. Unquestioning congregations, and most intellectuals, irrationally accept the astrological stories and metaphors for historical happenings. Gerald Massey addressed the issue in his master works:

The secret of the ancientness and sanctity of the writings is that they were originally Egyptian, like the Jewish community. They are not the product of any ground-rootage in the land of Judea. They come to us masked and in disguise. The wisdom of old, the myths, parables, and dark sayings that were preserved, have been presented to us dreadfully defeatured and deformed in the course of being converted into history.
