‘The day you truly accept yourself, new horizons will open up to you and a melody never heard before will reach your ears.’ From the autobiographical novel The Dream Healer by Prof Hernán Huarache Mamani, Peru; shaman, cultural scientist, co-founder of the I.N.C.A Institute. 

...A message as healing as that of the Star of Bethlehem, which was followed by wise magicians from Babylon?

Welcome to the prologue here - in ge. www.astrologischesabendmahl.de 

Let's start by saying this: Jesus' wisdom and parables, as conveyed in the Bible (complete and unadulterated?), appear for the most part to be highly vocal. But perhaps what is missing here and there is an equally attentive inclusion of the women's perspective at eye level? It's like the parable with the splinter in the eye of the other and the beam in one's own eye: not every (individually different) view would always be able to easily look beyond its own ‘edge of the plate’(?)

And yes, whoever wants to, or for whom it is more personally harmonious, may continue to believe in (his or her) orthodox or atheistic path. Just as Martin Luther, for example, had a rather ‘orthodox-affine’ birth chart. But ultimately, we should allow children, partners and friends to make their own decisions in the same ‘civilised’ way as we do for ourselves! And we should always be happy to remain a role model in our actions that nevertheless freely respects the other person... Well, according to the Gnostic- Christopagan interpretation, we ourselves are a mirror image of the complexly interwoven Hellenistic (archetypes) ‘gods within us’ at eye level. In our individually different ‘star’ souls.   Keywords Hellenism (wiki) or Hellenistic religion (wiki) in an equally Alexandrian form.

Matthew 6:10 ‘...thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’. A Jesuan phrase in the Lord´s Prayer Our Father/Mother also in the sense of Bethlehem's star magic ... or Carl Jung's archetypal/ astrological synchronicity?  ...a little deeper in this this link some short abstracts out of Jung's Red book.  

The birth of Jesus according to Matthew 2 shows the dawning of the long awaited new Piscean age of mystical-metaphysical ‘redemption’. According to the Gnostic view, Jesus' birth represents the birth of all of us as a child/children of the sun within our native planetary system. With a highly individualised birth chart - who wants it? With all its light and dark sides, always🌀 

...The number of the ‘3’ wise magi of the star of Bethlehem still was 12 - before the ‘orthodox’ Trinitarian church writer Origen of Alexandria (mentioned only in ge. de.wiki) or before the Council of Nicaea Syrian-Arian. Both in the newer Jungian-psychological sense and in the Renaissance understanding of the zodiacal archetypes; also included are the comforting ‘12’ angel archetypes. Especially in the picture/excerpts: The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci - en/ge, as well as Mark 14, verse 13 in the New Testament. 

The archaeoastronomer Dieter Koch explains the magi in Matthew 2 as both Zoroastrian dream interpreters and Chaldean-Babylonian astrologers. How they made prophecies in antiquity, similar to the Hellenistic oracle of Delphi. And sometimes even based them on older prophecies. A magical world view that was increasingly branded as heresy or Catharism in late antiquity during the Roman-Christian persecution of pagans. It did not begin with the brutal murder of the last female Neoplatonic philosopher Hypatia. By a Christian mob instigated by the early Orthodox church doctrine of Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria. 

This later led to the ethno/femicide of a persecution of indigenous-believing witches/shamans & pagan heathens in the ‘Old’ and ‘New’ World, after Luther's Mosaic witchcraft sermon (de-ge cf. Exodus 22:17; and Deuteronomy 12:29). (...especially in the Archbishopric of “Kur”Cologne - ge-de; or Salem, the Indian wars.) The ancient view of a divinely understood, heavenly Venus (m/f) as the Star of Bethlehem (Dieter Koch) was fought against in the same way. She, as the bringer of morning light/lucifer within an astrological, gnostic-"animistic ’*) world, no longer fitted into the more orthodox Jewish-Christian dogma of faith. Symbols of a mythological Venus are the 5-pointed pentagram and the Venus flower, described in ‘Venus, Mary Magdalene, and the Re-emerging Sacred Feminine’ by Emily Trinkaus. 

 Furthermore, compiled by me as a lecture - in ge: Lilith, Eve & Adam and Mary Magdalene, here. As well as the e-book ‘Christian Animism’, by the ‘Christopagan’ Canadian Anglican priest and Druid, Reverend Shawn Sanford Beck (Ref. 25).

Amongst a few other issues, I will ‘last but not least’ address frequent scepticism/arguments against astrology here - en !

02-04.11.2024 - All Souls' Day - 

According to the ZEIT article of 30 October - in ge- about the World Synod, the Pope has just argued with church representatives in Rome about more female participation in the church: the German representatives tend to argue about celibacy and homosexuality/queer, while the African representatives would prefer to sweep homosexuality under the carpet and open the Catholic Church to polygamy instead. What do you think of the serious African proposal?

My own proposal would be a different thealogical approach: a first (neo-Catholic*) attempt(s) as a complementary, voluntary commentary on the 1st commandment of Moses:
rev.2: We archetypal goddesses, mystical metaphors of your soul's mirror image, are interwoven like an inner family. As a child of FatherHeaven's and MotherEarth's nature, do you sometimes believe that you can perhaps be there for more than just one partner? Together with all your and their other children, respecting them and all of us, old as well as new, caring positively, co-responsible, loving, releasing and mutually just - perhaps even then: ‘do what you like, but do no harm to anyone!’ 

It should also be noted that, at the beginning of the Aquarian Eon, there seems to be an even greater shortage of sufficient resources and of environmentally friendly climate. Excessive material wealth of some individuals eats up other people's participation. Furthermore, whether more than 0-2 children would be beneficial for a world/community in the future (cf. point 4 here and finally point 3) should be carefully considered in all humility towards -networked- life. (Although there should be no increase in abortions, every woman concerned should ultimately be able to make such a decision freely, in good time and without pressure!) - In the past, too many people have already been involved in distribution struggles and wars over increasingly scarce land, raw materials, food, economic resources and energy. The consequences are premature death, illness, mutilation - possibly also psychological, poverty, but also (family) systemic or even epigenetically passed on/‘inherited’ traumas to one's own children and grandchildren.

          *) the term neo-Catholic was formed around 1850 by the ‘father of modern esotericism’, Abbé Eliphas Levi (wiki), 

               with regard to his own faith; more: below, under text panel Isis with baby Jesus.

Notes on the 2 photos at right and below: 

1. the goddesses Ishtar / Lilith / Aphrodite / possibly Athena (= Libra) and 

2. text panel on the statue of ‘Isis ...with baby Jesus’ (= female Taurus) 

...are both astrologically assigned to the ruler principle of the planet Venus as a zodiacal principle!

25.Nov..2024:  
 Text panel above: ‘Isis with Baby Jesus’, cross-religious & cross-cultural statue from antiquity, Bode-Museum Berlin. The official text panel (photo at the bottom) reveals: ‘...The original sun disc and cow horns*) of Isis were chiselled off in late antiquity. The goddess Isis & child Horus became the breastfeeding Mary with baby Jesus’ *) see zodiac sign Taurus! 

- Further a short gnostic detour into Egypto-Hellenistic religious culture: the mathematician and astrologer Johannes Kepler was  according to Wolfgang Pauli a Trinitarian, the alchemist Robert Fludd was a Quarternarian. On the other hand, the father of neo-esotericism, Kabbalist and neo-Catholic Eliphas Levi with his penta-tetragrammaton was probably a Pentarian (access link to his symbol magic on this page below). Levi deciphered the secret of the sphinx something like this: Wings of air, Taurus´ body of earth, Leo's claws of fire, (Scorpio/Cancer/Fishes) breasts of water, united in the spirit/soul in the human face of the head. - The kabbalistic tetragrammaton YHWH reflects & unites the four apostle symbols of man (Aquarius), Taurus, Leo, Eagle (Scorpio). It forms a grand cross of so-called ‘fixed’ archetypal principles in the zodiac. Question: would Jesus - according to the legend - not have died on this astral-philosophical (grand) cross as well as on the earthly real? It reminds me of the Ptolemaic sentence in the Lord's Prayer: ‘...on earth as it is in heaven.’

The reporter Simcha Jacobovici documented in his ^{video Uncovering the First Cross}  from 5. Min. the perhaps oldest Christian Cross from the 1^st century. It is from an excavation of a early (“first supper”?)house of prayer in Bethsaida near Jerusalem. However it equals neither the roman cross of torture nor the orthodox Xi/Chi or a T-beam. Myself as a christopagan astrologer recognize it as the Big Cross of the 4 fix principles of the zodiac, the shamanic elements air-fire-earth-water. As depicted by the 4 astrological evangelist-symbols of the gospels of Mathew (human/angel/Aquarius), Mark (Lion), Luke (Taurus) and John (eagle/Scorpio). Arranged around the small circle of the inner myself of all beings, similar to the Egyptian Sphinx?
