Leviathan ~ Part Five

[Zephonith Serpent Woman]

In Revelations, we observe the utter and total identification of the Dragon with the Christian Devil, and the clear link between the Divine Feminine and “the dragon”, in the descriptive terminology of the day :

“ Ch 12

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the Sun, and the Moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

  “A woman clothed with the Sun and the Moon under Her feet “

A symbolic depiction of the “good” woman, as the ancient Moon Goddess always had the Lunar crescent as a crown upon Her head and not the other way around as per this description. Symbolic of the overturning of the Old Religion, as the Moon, or Pagan Goddess and Serpent worship traditions are now evidently under the feet of this “good woman”. The Sun is no more the equal Yang to the Yin of the Moon; it now clothes the woman’s body. The new male gods appropriated the Eagle and the Sun as the symbols of male dominance.

2 And She being with child cried, travailing with birth, and pained to be delivered.

Again we have a description of the pain of magickally deprived woman during the childbirthing procedure, having had the age-old connection with The Serpent’s wisdom severed .

3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red Dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Red is the colour of the Mother Goddess and of the Life Force, and thus is easy to deduce just why this particular colour, of all other available colours in the spectrum, was chosen to represent the “evil Dragon” by the patriarchy.

The Naga Serpent Divinities of ancient India and the Orient often appear as a Cobra and/or a Dragon with seven heads, representing the seven gates to the Mystery or Chakra energy points in the body; also referred to as the Seven Hells of Goddess Ereshkigal, or Gates to the Underworld. Thus again we see a direct and unmistakable reference here to the Mysteries, again identifying these as evil.

And his tail drew the third part of the stars in heaven; and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

The Dragon is said to be ready to devour up the Divine Child;  once again this text is associating the Dragon with evil and being Anti-Christian.

A mothers first instinct is to protect her child, and so, this characteristic trait of a good mother , valued by Goddess devotees as an attribute of the Birth Goddesses, was now to be used against the very symbol of the Divine, the Dragon; and against the Goddess Herself.

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.

The saviour of man(sic) kind is portrayed as a male child who has to be protected against the venerable Dragon, and indications are that a rod of iron – here clearly implying that a rule of fear and tyranny -  is necessary to enable the effective governance of the people. It is as if people cannot be trusted and therefore have to be restricted and punished to be good and obedient.

6 And the woman fled unto the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her two hundred and three score days.

7 And there was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the Great Dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

An unmistakable reference is made to the Great Serpent of the pre-patriarchal Pagan Nature Traditions, which has become the Devil in this mythology.

The stories of the Fallen Angels and the deceiving Dragon are actually an allegory which explains the ancient conflict between the new  warlike religions and the ancient Goddess traditions; whereby the Old Ways and all Pagans are evidently cast out and replaced by the minions of the Biblical God. Actually, to separate fantasy from Truth is quite simple in the sense that a long time ago, human beings were created by the First Gods of extra-terrestrial origins, once known as Angels from heaven, whom ever since a few thousand years ago have unfortunately become regarded as devils, demons or alien monsters..

Everything to do with this planet, including the nickel-iron –moldavite liquid core, which generates the magnetic shield which protects our planet from excessive solar radiation, comes from outer space. We are all actually the Aliens. The Crone’s Mysteries include those of the infinite Abyss of space and the deeper meanings of Cosmic workings. Of the workings of Nature, there is no deception.

 

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation,…for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our god day and night….

Take for example this essay. This is a critical article, indeed, and penned without an ounce of hatred towards anybody. Yet, if one has to enumerate and list all of the accusations which have been made against the Goddess and the Dragon in the Book Religions sacred texts, my admittedly critical words, based on comparative research and reading and personal experience pale into insignificance.

In this Age of the Daughter it is becoming urgently imperative that we resolve all disputes based on superficial differences between peoples of the world, and radically alter our ways so that the survival of the planet and all who live here can be ensured. A major imbalance has been caused  by the over-utilization of non-renewable resources and the pollution of the earth and the waters.

This imbalance Above, caused by people and ever-increasing with the wrongful use of wasteful and damaging sources of power and industries is resulting in the weakening of the actual magnetic strength of the planet core, Below.

As the Earth’s magnetic core generates the protective field which shields our planet from the damaging effects of the Sun’s rays, this has serious and immediate implications for all sentient beings on this planet. Unless drastic steps are taken by every individual to correct the radical imbalance, there will be catastrophic consequences for all. Without the magnetic shield, all life will be extinct. Already the weakened shield has allowed harmful rays in to a certain extent, causing loss of life and a gradual warming of certain ocean currents. This in turn has caused the severe and seeming unnatural weather occurrences of late.

As the pre-eminent sentient species on this planet, we have the power of life and death over ourselves and the planet. How will we now use it?.

Goddess people are not involved in the mythical fight between the two antagonists, and neither do we curse others just because they may choose to venerate God in the way that is best for them. We all have the same common origins, and that makes all beings on this planet one family.

The principles of the Goddess include Love to all beings, Compassion, Understanding, Mercy and Forgiveness. We must resolve any issues and together make a change for the sake of the children and the beautiful animals, plants and all of the Natural Creation.

The continuous worship of the Divine Feminine has continued regardless of the disputes between sons of the same Father;  yet, when the sacred Traditions, High Places, the Divine Feminine and the Dragon are brought into the fray on a symbolic level by both the men of God and of the Devil; it becomes imperative to speak up if only to make people aware of the pointlessness of persisting with the outdated antagonistic and harmful ways of the patriarchy, of struggling against the Truth.

 To be complacent about the very real danger that we as the inhabitants of the planet face due to our own persistent destruction of the environment at this time, is to be part of the problem and not part of the solution.

The destruction of Nature by mankind is the real evil, the actual Adversary of humankind; and will most certainly lead to the total annihilation of the human race if real and meaningful changes are not made with immediate effect.

On with the discussion ~

13 And when the Dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

This parallels the ancient Egyptian tale of Isis , Osiris and Set, which was grossly misinterpreted to infer that Set was the Devil and the representative of evil by the patriarchal late dynasty Pharaohs and by the early Christian Copts who sought to change the tales of the ancients to suit the paradigm of Patriarchal Dualism.

Again the Dragon is chosen to be the evil arch- enemy of the Mother and Child, an example of paradoxical parody, as both Dragon and Serpent have always been identified as sacred to the Mother Goddess and Her children. That the very symbol of Fertility, Wisdom and Healing should be cast as an evil , baby and woman-killing beast would have been unthinkable and unacceptable to the Ancients, as would the thought of actually harming a snake. This was a serious offence amongst all cultures in days gone by for reasons explained.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out from his mouth water as a flood from the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away in the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 And the Dragon was wroth with the woman, and went forth to make war with the remnant of her seed… which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ

The Eagle, once the sacred bird which intercedes with Divinity according to the legends of various ancient cultures and when symbolically combined with the serpent meaning enlightenment in symbolic terms, was appropriated by the Sun and Lightning Gods to symbolize warfare and martial values and ethics.

So therefore, as Goddess people Harm None, and do not see violence as any solution to a problem, this whole book must be about someone else.

Someone and something else other than the Goddessians and Serpent Worshippers is this “Great Whore of Babylon” and the “evil Dragon”, I’m afraid. Despite any apparent common symbolism as described and discussed previously in the article.

CH13

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Again it is quite obvious that only the sacred beasts of the Goddess have been selected to make up this Great Dragon. Actually, the Boar was the totem of certain Hebrew and Canaanite people, as was the Golden Calf and the Bull. The leopard has been associated with the Goddess since the beginnings, as is the lion, as evidenced in many existing sculptures and other artworks which have amazingly survived to relay their tales to us in this day and age despite the centuries of  deliberate and wanton destruction of Pagan artifacts. The bear represents the basic defensive mother’s instincts to conserve and protect her young. Again we see the Dragon as being the beast which gives the other animals their power. Well, indeed, the Kundalini does enable every living thing in the universe to live, breathe and reproduce, and the Dragon is the Guardian of the Pearl of Wisdom.

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

This passage I have always found puzzling and contradictory in the sense that the oppressed are most certainly not the ruling Religions of this day and age.

The current banking system is of Catholic origin, and everywhere over the past few thousand years, the power, which is synonymous with wealth and politics, has resided with the official Religion of any particular country. Again this is not the people who are called Pagan, simply because according to the meaning of the word, we love Nature and realise that transitory wealth is not a god. As another form of energy , it can always be used, though, as one would any other form of energy..

The Goddess deplores all unnecessary violence and aggression, and the use of weapons to dominate and harm others, especially the innocent. One disgraces oneself and the Goddess by the use of excessive force or violence under any circumstances, except very rarely and with the greatest reluctance in pure self - defence in the most urgent and pressing situations. Make Love, not War ~ it’s the only choice.

It was quite easy for the new patriarchal invaders to subjugate the original Goddess worshippers, because the peaceful cultures were not equipped to deal with such threats, of bands of heavily-armed horsemen riding for the Gods of War.

Only the Queens of Arabia and Ethiopia and the Amazons were able to effectively resist the gradual process of this global takeover for some time, by taking up arms themselves against the aggressors on occasion. This continued sporadically until the ancient Goddess Religions were finally buried under millennia of attrition.

It is clear also that the process of the takeover from the Old Religions to the New had been characterized by an excessive use of the sword by the patriarchal religions, and one merely has to look at the wars between and amongst the various male-dominated religions to understand that the ones who have killed most with the sword, even great terrible and mighty ones, should well heed this proverbial saying themselves.

 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.

Violence always returns to the sender; and while it is never a Goddess devotee who would disgrace the Goddess with the use of violence in any shape or form, some using the sword as a bellydancing prop - and would rather kill themselves first before harming another – it is through the virtual sword of terrifying advanced weaponry - the “sword” of the techno-industrial arms ; that harm is sent and returned in this antagonistic world, with great and sorrowful cost to those who live by it and wield it.

If this book is to be believed at all; who then are these great and terrible powers in the world of today? Which power or interest, supposedly bent on destroying Christianity and Judaism, holds all of the power, wealth and resources and could be realistically identified as a power strong enough to take on the billions of devotees of any of the major Religions in the world and their private armies in such a fashion?

Goddess devotees, Ophites and a few other Pagans "heavily armed" with wands and possibly a few Athames and ceremonial swords? Come, come. Lets move on.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Well again, this can’t be Pagan Goddess devotees behind all of this; as everyone is unique and I for one don’t know offhand of anyone of my circle of friends who would be freely willing to submit to being marked uniformly for reasons of control, let alone insist that everyone else complies!. On the other hand, it is a well-known fact that over the centuries of persecutions against Witches, no one was allowed to buy or sell, save they were Christian, in many areas. This just being a rational observation, and not intended to offend any modern-day progressive member of the Christian Religion, of course.

Actually, the whole concept of banking is a Catholic one, which originates in the medieval days of Christianity. A person was only allowed to trade if they had their monies regulated by the Church, and possessed a “bank” the old English term for a table at a market stall. This bank was used for money-lending purposes and the rental fee for trading (the tithe) reverted to the Church. From these beginnings, the modern-day banking system had it’s origins.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The number 666 is a Solar number and refers to the cubic forms within the field of sacred geometry. Actually, in Goddess numerology, 6+6+6 = 18; = 1+8=9. 9, of course, is the number of the Mother of the Universe, as is 3, the perfect number. The realms of sacred geometry do not necessarily belong in this article, yet let it be said once more, that the reason the number 666 was specifically chosen as this number of the Devil, is simply because it is another ancient sacred number of the Horned God of Nature, the God of the Sun; and equally so to the Goddess, as the Box is after all, a decidedly feminine symbol, alluding to the All-Giver, Pandrosa, the Goddess of whose legends were twisted and made a parody of by the patriarchal Greeks in later times.

1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

This is absolutely horrific. The actual implications of such deeds and their effect on people - little children, sages, crones and couples alike - are too terrible to contemplate. Is this what the Angels supposedly do, and represent? None whom I have ever had the pleasure of making acquaintance with thus far.

 

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

For ‘some’ reason, the innocent frog was chosen to be as an “unclean spirit”, to speak deception. Again, frogs are highly revered in Witchcraft and in Pagan lore worldwide, and are revered as one of the first animals ever to be created. The frog is also a symbol of very good luck, rainfall and fertility, which some apparently don’t need, and as far as I am aware, are not only humankind’s best friend, in consuming excess insects, but are also now critically endangered due to global warming, which is a direct result of the ruinous patriarchal policy concerning the environment and natural non-renewable resources.

The Frog is especially associated with Diana, Queen of Witches, and Goddess Hekate.

 

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

“Behold, I come as a thief”???

16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

I would still love to know who this “Great Babylon” actually is.

Is it the “reptilian shapeshifter-satanic-illuminati-bloodlined” Queen of England, and her corgis?

Is it the USA, and every young American?

Is it the Pagans?

Ah, it must be then amongst the devotees of Lilith and Lucifer, then, or possibly some fans of Inkubus Sukkubus or Blackmore’s Night.

Or possibly, the Vatican itself? Or the mega-wealthy of the world, perhaps?

After all, these are evidently the rulers of the cities, and the Kings of the Earth. Who knows? My view is purely speculative, as it is not my place to become involved.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

CH 17

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

5 And upon her forehead a name was written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus; and when I saw her, I wondered with  great admiration.

7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me: the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Again we have a rather puzzling contradiction in terms here.

Personally I know of no Child of Lilith with nations under hir command, nor to my knowledge does the Dark Goddess rule formally over the Kings of the earth at this point in time.

A simple and quite interchangeable formula is ; MONEY=POWER=POLITICS

Now tell me, which “great city” belongs to Lilith and Her devotees in this sense?

CH18

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all fine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

Is true divine strength now measured in judgement, death, mourning, fire and famine? Who or what is then, “Great Babylon”; and who is deceiving the people with sorceries in this context?

CH 20

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Conclusion

 

I have included the New Testament verses here in this discussion, as it is a logical progression from Leviathan to the Dragon in Revelations. Leviathan is of both male and female essence and was to “evolve” in patriarchal myth to epitomize forbidden knowledge, or in other words, the Occult (hidden) Wisdom of Pagan Goddess spirituality, and thus later becoming, in patriarchal mythos, the antithesis of all that is “good”.

 

 

I am She
that is the natural
mother of all things,
mistress and governess
of all the elements,
the initial progeny of worlds,
chief of the powers divine,
Queen of all that are in the Otherworld,
the principal of them
that dwell above,
manifested alone
and under one form
of all the Gods and Goddesses.

 

 The Jewish theologians expand upon the Biblical accounts and interpret the mythos on varying levels of meaning. There are consequently two main Behemoths, as the Hebrew word itself is expressed in the plural tense.

 The Biblical prophet Isaiah specifically named two distinct yet unified Leviathans, the so-called "slant serpent" and the "tortuous serpent"

This depiction is paradoxically enough quite accurate, as the Androgynous and Bi-sexual nature of the Cosmos is reflected within the two Dragons, alternately Male and Female, Yin and Yang which are Lunar and Solar in nature and characteristics.

Both Lunar and Solar Dragons are venerated as representing the Goddess of the Moon and the God of the Sun from ancient times. The worship of the Dragon was universal prior to the advent of  the patriarchy, when concepts of good and evil were superimposed over the ancient legends and the original  meanings were altered and re-interpreted to accommodate the new patriarchal world-view of things.

Instead of celebrating the union of the Yin and Yang, the Jewish theologians decided that this union would have terrible and catastrophic consequences for humankind. Thus, it was up to the supreme male God to keep the two Dragons separate – a form of spiritual apartheid as it were ~ as it was /is sincerely believed by many that if the two “monsters” are allowed to unite as one, the whole of creation would be undone and everything would return to primordial darkness, the evident fearful state of being or non-being which the patriarchy refers to as “Chaos”. This God is said to guarantee the continued survival of the world by keeping the two serpents apart from each other, although it is suggested that the creator of the Leviathan is the Jewish God, and that they are kept alive for the meanwhile by his design and for reasons of his own.

Chaos and evil are two central fear-based concepts which should be elaborated on for the benefit of those who believe that Chaos and evil are synonyms and/or complement one another.

Chaos is actually a synonym for the Great Mother Goddess, called by many Names , including Gaia, An.Zu; Tiamat, Isis and Lilith and nine thousand and five more. The Chaos is the infinite sea of Potential; the space-in-between the stars and all other forms of Matter or Light, which emerge from the infinite depths of the Abyss, Chaos, which are created, flourish, decline and ultimately return to the source of all Creation, The Great Mother, or Tao.

When we have the gem of an idea, it appears as from nothing in our consciousness. It comes from the pure energy of potential, the sea of what appears to be a vacuum in space – the 95% of the Universe which is invisible. This is CHAOS; The Great Goddess. We venerate the Great Goddess as the originator and consumer of all things. Scientists are now familiarising themselves with Dark Energy, which has no quantifiable mass or apparent substance, yet somehow enfolds and provides the incredible energy to support all visible matter in outer space and maintain the balance and sequential relationships between all planetary bodies and within every atomic particle.

 Goddess people know that this Dark Energy, which is the darkness of the in-between, is of the Great Goddess from whom all things come and unto whom all things return.

The idea gradually takes form as time unfolds, and is given the Form, or substance by all of the things relating to the idea which our subconscious and conscious mind picks up, once the original idea, or spark of enlightenment appears and has germinated in our consciousness. The idea then becomes more and more defined and supported as we piece it together as a jigsaw puzzle. Ultimately, something is created or manifested in the physical world as the idea becomes ripe for implementing and it literally takes form .We have thus created something visible from “nothing”, or Chaos. This entire three-stage process is reflected in the thealogy of the Triple Goddess of Maiden, Mother and Crone, and appears and reappears in our lives in a cyclical motion much as the Moon rises, waxes and wanes to darkness every Lunar Cycle.

Everything and anything to do with The Goddess and Her Serpent was to be labelled as evil, and hidden, forbidden and concealed ~ the Occult or sacred Wisdom of Lilith, the Goddess and Lucifer, The God. Leviathan is thus, also OCCULT WISDOM, and is indeed full of Illumination for everyone, as we enter the New Age of the Daughter, regardless of Religion or tradition so long as there is HARM NONE. Occult means simply, "hidden, concealed and forbidden" knowledge. Now to whom is knowledge forbidden, and by whom?

Restrictions are not of Spirit.

The Great Goddess has many Names and manifestations ~ Sumerian, Persian, African, Christian, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic , Jewish....and SHE is within all people and all things.How then can we ever hate our fellow human beings? We are all individuals and unique. We all deserve to know the Truth, and realize that our Faith in ourselves ~ the divine beings we are ~ is independent of the official man-made structures and outdated medieval teachings which previously used to define us and served only to differentiate that which is interconnected and served to remove us from ourselves instead.

We are one family, and we all have the same common origins, after all. We need to identify the old and archaic portions of the texts which discriminate on the basis of religion, reject and exclude them from poisoning the minds of the children and recognize that it doesn’t matter what a person calls themselves, or which religion or social status they enjoy, what gender they are, what language or dialect they speak at home or which tint or hairstyle they prefer. We are all divine; and should learn to act like it, too.

We are all equal, and all are entitled to the sacred knowledge and Wisdom of the Ancestors. It is our birthright; and all who deserve it, are welcome to partake of it; in Perfect Love and in Perfect Trust. Again please note that the Mystery is a personal journey of a lifetime, a gradual process of gaining through ones own abilities the steps of Knowledge, taken to become Wisdom through Experience. Nothing ever happens overnight.

And all we can do is open the Ways for other seekers to find their own path to Oneness.

 

“And as for Leviathan, well, what once threatened to destroy us will in time sustain us; what once menaced the universe will ultimately serve to illuminate it.”

 There was and is never any threat to anyone from the Great Goddess and Mother of All.

The Goddess is always here for us - yes, even for those who have been deceived. All we have to do, is approach in Perfect Love and in Perfect Trust.

“The Leviathan is OCCULT SCIENCE, on which one can lay his hands but “do no more”…Then in the judgment the deceased invokes four spirits who preside over the lake of fire, and is purified by them. He is then conducted to his celestial house, and is received by Athar and Isis, and stands before Atum, the essential God. He is now Turu, the essential man, a pure spirit,and henceforth On-Ati, the eye of fire, and an associate of the gods.”
