In order to understand pagan religion, one must understand a mathematical concept "the circle of circumpolar rotation". In early mythology the soul following– death traveled to the North Pole, climbed the North pole and entered the star towards which the North Pole was currently pointing. At these moments Mars appeared to be as large as the moon appears today. In addition to two rocky asteroids, a heavy metal asteroid was visible orbiting Mars . This asteroid was magnetically attracted towards the magnetic north pole of Earth. The radioactive asteroid (the Left Eye of Horus) loaded souls from the current pole star onto itself. The asteroid traveled back to Mars where it unloaded these souls. Mars distributed the souls among the stars in the sky until the souls were given new bodies to live in and were returned to Earth. |

The circle of circumpolar rotation is drawn in the sky by the North Pole. Along the edge of this circle are stars representing the Patriarchs that are listed in GENESIS. Each Patriarch in turn is responsible for collecting those souls waiting to enter Heaven. In 1500 BC this star was present in the center of the cup of the Little Dipper. This is the "Christ" named by Moses, who is a Gemini personality and is described in the story of the "Wizard of Oz". The next Patriarch was Baal Hammon. Then in 1 AD came the Patriarch that is known as "Jesus Christ". Jesus Christ is an Aries personality prototype who is represented by the "Lamb of God". Our Patriarch currently is a fish. Magus Physician. |
