Sapphire Ethymology :

probably ultimately from a non-Semitic source such as Sanskrit शनिप्रिय (śanipriya, “dear to Saturn”)

Quote Picatrix :

To obtain long life, you may make the image of Saturn on a sapphire

in this form: “An old man sitting on a high throne or on a dragon, with

a hood of dark linen on his head, raising his hand above his head,

holding a sickle or a fish, clothed in a dark robe.” (Homo senex in altiore

cathedra sedens uel dracone, caput tectus panno quodam lineo fusco, manus supra caput

erigens, falcem manutenens aut pisces, fusca indutus ueste. 23) This image is close to

one in Picatrix and contains elements from two others.

Quote

Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Bk II, ch 38.

Since Picatrix was Agrippa's source we can see how he mixes and matches the images of Saturn. Agrippa also discusses the planetary table of Saturn and says,

"They say that this table being with a fortunate Saturn engraved on a plate of lead, doth help to bring forth, or birth, and to make a man safe, and powerfull, and to cause success of petitions with princes, and powers:

An interesting question arises as to the proper translation of Feyzerich. In Marsilio Ficino's Three Books on Life translated by Kaske and Clarke, they translate lapide feyzerich as sapphire. Three Books on Life, page 499. Similarly, as we can see above, Agrippa gives the stone for this talisman as the sapphire. The Ouroboros Picatrix, on the other hand, gives the stone for this talisman as the turquoise. A Google search reveals that feerozah and feeroozah are Arabic given names meaning generally a precious stone and in particular a turquoise. Finally we note that in Vedic astrology, the blue sapphire is the gem of Saturn.

On the above link find Saturn table which is a magic square adding 15 = 1111 binary

So we go to the book of lies Key 69 - Sigil of Cancer which was the Egyptian scarab for the Egyptians - their key of immortality.

Quote :

For the Egyptians, Cancer was represented not by a crab, but by a scarab (or dung) beetle, sacred to the Egyptians as a creature of immortality. The beetle is clearly linked to the moon’s twenty-eight day cycle. It deposits its ball of eggs, rolled in dung in the earth, for the space of twenty-eight days, which is the time it takes for the moon to complete a full revolution through the twelve zodiacal signs. The Egyptians considered the twenty-ninth day to be a day of resurrection, and according to lunar markings, there occurs the baptism of the beetle, when the scarabeus casts his ball into the water, opening to give birth to the young beetle. This immersion and baptism became naturally associated with renewal and regeneration. In this way, the lunar god was always declared to be self-created, never born. This symbolism seems to fit very aptly for the sign of Cancer, so seemingly introverted and self-contained.

From Liber Cheth.

This is the secret of the Holy Graal, that is the sacred vessel of our Lady the Scarlet Woman, Babalon the Mother of Abominations, the bride of Chaos, that rideth upon our Lord the Beast.
Thou shalt drain out thy blood that is thy life into the golden cup of her fornication.
Thou shalt mingle thy life with the universal life. Thou shalt keep not back one drop.
Then shall thy brain be dumb, and thy heart beat no more, and all thy life shall go from thee; and thou shalt be cast out upon the midden, and the birds of the air shall feast upon thy flesh, and thy bones shall whiten in the sun.
Then shall the winds gather themselves together, and bear thee up as it were a little heap of dust in a sheet that hath four corners, and they shall give it unto the guardians of the abyss.
And because there is no life therein, the guardians of the abyss shall bid the angels of the winds pass by. And the angels shall lay thy dust in the City of the Pyramids, and the name thereof shall be no more.
Now therefore that thou mayest achieve this ritual of the Holy Graal, do thou divest thyself of all thy goods.
Thou hast wealth; give it unto them that have need thereof, yet no desire toward it.
Thou hast health; slay thyself in the fervour of thine abandonment unto Our Lady. Let thy flesh hang loose upon thy bones, and thine eyes glare with thy quenchless lust unto the Infinite, with thy passion for the Unknown, for Her that is beyond Knowledge the accursed one.
Thou hast love; tear thy mother from thine heart, and spit in the face of thy father. Let thy foot trample the belly of thy wife, and let the babe at her breast be the prey of dogs and vultures.
For if thou dost not this with thy will, then shall We do this despite thy will. So that thou attain to the Sacrament of the Graal in the Chapel of Abominations.
And behold! if by stealth thou keep unto thyself one thought of thine, then shalt thou be cast out into the abyss for ever; and thou shalt be the lonely one, the eater of dung, the afflicted in the Day of Be-with-Us.
Yea! verily this is the Truth, this is the Truth, this is the Truth. Unto thee shall be granted joy and health and wealth and wisdom when thou art no longer thou.
Then shall every gain be a new sacrament, and it shall not defile thee; thou shalt revel with the wanton in the market-place, and the virgins shall fling roses upon thee, and the merchants bend their knees and bring thee gold and spices. Also young boys shall pour wonderful wines for thee, and the singers and the dancers shall sing and dance for thee.
Yet shalt thou not be therein, for thou shalt be forgotten, dust lost in dust.
Nor shall the æon itself avail thee in this; for from the dust shall a white ash be prepared by Hermes the Invisible.
And this is the wrath of God, that these things should be thus.
And this is the grace of God, that these things should be thus.
Wherefore I charge you that ye come unto me in the Beginning; for if ye take but one step in this Path, ye must arrive inevitably at the end thereof.
This Path is beyond Life and Death; it is also beyond Love; but that ye know not, for ye know not Love.
And the end thereof is known not even unto Our Lady or to the Beast whereon She rideth; nor unto the Virgin her daughter nor unto Chaos her lawful Lord; but unto the Crowned Child is it known? It is not known if it be known.
Therefore unto Hadit and unto Nuit be the glory in the End and the Beginning; yea, in the End and the Beginning.
RESPONSORY

Oh Babalon, thou mighty Mother, that ridest upon the crownèd beast; let thy kisses wanton me unto death, that even I, thy cup-bearer, may understand.
--- O my God, in one last rapture let me attain to the union with the many.
And this is the secret of the brothers of the Rosy Cross; and this is the heart of the ritual that is accomplished in the Vault of the Adepts that is hidden in the Mountain of the Caverns, even the Holy Mountain Abiegnus.
--- O my God, in one last rapture let me attain to the union with the many

ET IN ARCADIA EGO

"Et in Arcadia Ego" inscribed on the arch between the two bears is an esoteric reference to Arcadia, the Greek city where Danaus and his fifty daughters introduced the worship of the mother goddess. Arcadia represents the Rosicrucian's envisioned Paradise on earth.
"Arcadia was one of the primary mystery names given to the state of the world in a Golden Age, and the whole Arcadian imagery and allegory is that of a Utopia or Paradise on earth that might be achieved. The world is on the threshold of that achievement now, according to the way the evolutionary cycles of divine law work. Jesus Christ and the Buddha prepared us for it in an outstanding way; Francis Bacon...and the Rosicrucian Brotherhood have inaugurated it. All have used Arcadian imagery, the meaning of which pierces deep, right to the heart of all mysteries." - 889:15
According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a sacred river flows from Arcadia to the underworld. This underground stream, Alpheus, represents a demonic bloodline to which the the Plantard bloodline belongs.
"Arcadia...is frequently denoted by a fountain or a tombstone, both of which are associated with an underground stream. This stream is usually equated with the river Alpheus—the central river in the actual geographical Arcadia in Greece, which flows underground and is said to surface again at the Fountain of Arethusa in Sicily. From the remotest antiquity to Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan' the river Alpheus has been deemed sacred. Its very name derives from the same root as the Greek word alpha, meaning 'first' or 'source.'...
"...the underground stream...might connote an unacknowledged and thus 'subterranean' bloodline...
"...the Plantard family--lineal descendants of Dagobert II and the Merovingian dynasty. In 1548, the 'Prieuré documents' state, Jean des Plantard had married Marie de Saint-Clair--thus forging another link between his family and that of the Saint-Clair/Gisors...
"...the specific phrase in Poussin's painting—'Et in Arcadia Ego'...appeared in an earlier painting by Poussin, in which the tomb is surmounted by a skull and does not constitute an edifice of its own, but is embedded in the side of a cliff. In the foreground of this painting a bearded water deity reposes in an attitude of brooding moroseness—the river god Alpheus, lord of the underground stream..." - 31:139-140;177,180-2
As an aside, the occult uses rivers and other fresh water sources as sacred sites for their vampire rituals. Apposite to their sin, God will turn fresh water sites into blood during the Tribulation period: And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood... For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. - Rev. 16:4, 6

In William Taylor Coleridge's famous poem, Kubla Khan, the sacred river Alph descends to the underworld. In a portion of this poem, reprinted below, the god of the underworld, Typhon, is pictured as an erupting volcano, another sacred site of occultists. The imagery is phallic:
Kubla Khan

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea...

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river... - 781
In Greek Mythology, Typhon was the volcano demon which spewed fiery rocks at the sky: "TYPHOEUS was a monstrous immortal giant who was defeated and imprisoned beneath Mount Aitna by Zeus. This volcano-daimon hurled red-hot rocks at the sky and...boiled forth great storms of fire... Aitna (Mt Etna), where the rock is alight and kettles of fire boil up the hot flare of Typhaon’s bed." –Dionysiaca 13.319 - 867

Metatrón es representado en algunas leyendas como el ángel mediador entre Dios y el hombre

Metatrón es el nombre de un ángel presente en el judaísmo y algunas ramas del cristianismo. Sin embargo no hay ninguna referencia a él en el Tanaj judío (el Antiguo Testamento de los cristianos) ni en el Nuevo Testamento cristiano. También se puede ver escrito como Metratón, y otras en latín: Metator.

[editar] Descripción

No hay consenso acerca de su génesis o del rol que representa en la jerarquía del cielo y el infierno.

En la versión talmúdica leída por el erudito karaíta Kirkisani, Metatrón es una figura misteriosa llamada «YHWH menor».

Curiosamente, el término hebreo metátron es numéricamente equivalente a Shaddai, de acuerdo con el gematría hebreo, por lo que se dice que tiene un ‘nombre como su amo’. El Talmud también registra un incidente con Elisha ben Abuya, también llamado Aher (‘otro’), de quien se decía que había entrado en el Paraíso y había visto a Metatrón sentado (una posición que en el Cielo sólo se le permite a Yahvé mismo). Por lo tanto Elisha ben Abuya consideró que Metatrón era una deidad, y dijo: «¡Realmente hay dos poderes en el cielo!». Los rabinos explican que a Metatrón se le permitió sentarse debido a su función como escriba celestial, que registra todos los hechos de Israel.

De acuerdo con una doctrina judía, Enoc fue llevado por Yahwéh y transformado en Metatrón. Sin embargo esta opinión no es compartida por muchas autoridades talmúdicas. También parece que existen dos Metatrones, uno de siete letras y otro de seis. El primero sería el Metatrón primordial y el segundo Enoc.

El Zohar llama a Metatrón «el Joven», y lo identifica como el ángel que guio al pueblo de Israel en el desierto, luego del éxodo desde Egipto, y lo describe como un sacerdote celestial. También se menciona a Metatrón en los Seudoepígrafos, principalmente en el hebreo Libro de Enoc (también llamado el Tercer Enoc), en el cual reaparece su título como «el YHWH menor».

De acuerdo con Johann Eisenmenger, Metatrón transmite las órdenes diarias de Yahwéh a los ángeles Gabriel y Rafael. A veces a Metatrón se lo identifica como hermano gemelo de Sandalfón, quien se dice que fue el profeta Elías.

Según el escritor Robert Graves, el término metatron sería una corrupción hebrea del griego metradromos (‘el que persigue con venganza’) o de meta ton thronón (‘más cercano al trono’).^[1]

[editar] El cubo de Metatrón

Cubo de Metatron (version incompleta que no contiene coordenadas válidas para el dodecaedro o el icosaedro). En la imagen se observan los trece círculos de la "Fruta de la vida"; a través del trazado de líneas se obtiene el Cubo de Metatrón, que sería únicamente el contenido del hexaedro central que surge en el dibujo.

La fruta de la vida (un componente de la Flor de la Vida, un cuerpo de la geometría sagrada ) está compuesto de trece círculos. Si cada círculo se considera un "nodo", y se conecta con el siguiente mediante una única línea recta, un total de setenta y ocho líneas resultan creadas. Así, el cubo de Metatrón es un cuerpo geométrico directamente obtenido de la "Fruta de la vida"; dentro del cubo se pueden encontrar otros cuerpos, como los dos modelos dimensionales de los cinco sólidos platónicos.

En las primeras escrituras cabalísticas se dice que Metatrón creó este cubo a partir de su propia alma. Esto se puede ver también en el arte cristiano, donde éste aparece sobre su pecho, o flotando detrás de él. El cubo de Metatrón se considera también un glifo sagrado, y a veces se dibuja alrededor de un objeto o persona para protegerlo de los demonios y los poderes satánicos. Esta idea también aparece en la alquimia, en la que el círculo fue considerado un círculo de contención, o un círculo de la creación. Y en otras palabras puede ser un cubo en 5/cinco dimensiones.

[editar] Metatrón en la cultura popular

Metatrón aparece como un personaje principal de la película Dogma (de Kevin Smith), donde es interpretado por Alan Rickman. Aquí él es la voz de Yahvé, quien no puede hablarles directamente a los humanos, debido a que su voz es tan poderosa que mata a las personas que la oyen. «Cinco Adanes murieron antes de que se nos ocurriera cómo resolver esto», comenta humorísticamente.
La novela Gravity's Rainbow (de Thomas Pynchon) también presenta a Metatrón.
La película Cosmos Incorporated (de Maurice Dantec) presenta a Metatrón como el ángel principal con quien tiene que tratar el héroe Serguéi Plotkine.
En la novela Good Omens (de Terry Pratchett y Neil Gaiman), Metatrón aparece como la voz de Yahvé. Un pie de nota explicativo iguala su rol al del secretario de prensa del presidente. Como dato curioso decir que en este libro el Metatrón habla de sí mismo en plural, diciendo: "Somos el Metatrón".
En la trilogía La materia oscura (de Philip Pullman), Metatrón es un ángel malévolo, regente del Reino de los Cielos (ya que la Autoridad está incapacitada) habiendo sido quien hacía cumplir sus leyes, pero ahora tratando de suplantarlo.
En la expansiva saga de cómics épicos New Gods se presenta una docta deidad llamada Metron, quien aparece donde se le necesita, y ofrece a los protagonistas palabras crípticas de sabiduría.
En la novela visual del originalmente anime de Sunrise,Mai HiME Unmei no Keitouju,Metatron es el nombre del Child de Alyssa Searrs,aunque en el anime,tiene otro llamado Artemis.
En el videojuego Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage, una versión del personaje llamado Asura tiene un movimiento llamado Nortatem (Metatrón al revés). Esto hace que el personaje se vuelva mucho más poderoso (aunque a expensas de drenar gradualmente su energía vital).
El músico mexicano Carlos Santana (1947) dice que la revitalización de su carrera en el siglo XXI se debe a Metatrón. Santana ha declarado que Metatrón lo visita mientras medita. Lo describe como un ángel blanco con barba.

The Black Cube Cult
“Pan was a composite creature, the upper part–with the exception of his horns–being human, and the lower part in the form of a goat. (…)The pipes of Pan signify the natural harmony of the spheres, and the god himself is a symbol of Saturn because this planet is enthroned in Capricorn, whose emblem is a goat”

- Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages

So Pan was depicted with horns due to the fact it represented Saturn, the ruler of the house of Capricorn which symbol is a goat.

Actually, the Mardi Gras celebration originated in the pagan pre-Christian celebration of spring. Ancient Greeks would sacrifice a goat, cut its hide in to strips and run naked through the fields while their pagan priests lashed them with the goat-hide strips. This was a part of their spring fertility rite to insure a productive harvest for their fields and increase the fertility of their flocks and women. The custom was degenerate even by pagan standards, being a time of lewdness, immorality, drunkenness and revelry and was associated with the worship of the Greek god "Pan".

"Most scholars see a relationship between present day Mardi Gras and the ancient tribal rituals of fertility that welcomed the arrival of Spring. A possible ancestor of the celebration is the Lupercalis, a circus-like orgy held in mid-February in Rome."

the day before Ash Wednesday was Carnival! It meant "farewell to flesh" (at least for the Lenten season). The French called it Mardi Gras for Fat Tuesday

What's Really Behind the Mardi Gras Masks?

"But behind the sequins and war paint, and deep under the light-hearted Carnival spirit, is there some quirk in the human personality that makes people want to mask? And if so, is there some twist in each individual's psyche that makes him choose the alter-identity he does?

Enter the anthropologists and sociologists, who assure us that yes, there certainly may be a darker side to Carnival. Joseph V. Guillotte, Ph.D., associate professor of anthropology at the University of New Orleans, says that maskers have been traced at least as far back as the Ice Age. The proof is a dated drawing from southwestern France of the Dancing Sorcerer, a man dressed in a reindeer costume. Among early man, masking was considered a conduit to the supernatural, Guillotte says. A man donned a mask and believed he was possessed by the spirit of a god or dead ancestor who was trying to communicate with the living. "the individual becomes the character the mask depicts... Masking (or costuming) altered the state of consciousness."5

In the same article, Fuller quotes Fred Koening, Ph.D., professor of social psychology at Tulane University:

"Masks are a way of being anonymous, and if you wear a mask, ' you take on a different persona.' Among the early tribes, men who wore masks were considered crueler toward their enemies than those who did not. Certainly nobody is claiming that masking at Carnival. has anything to do with cruelty. But, Koening says, 'You can be a little drunker, a little wilder, a little more primitive.' Furthermore, at Carnival 'people will be more tolerant of you,' he says. 'Normal rules are gone. Traditional routines are put on hold.'"

The Masks of Carnival was easily influenced the African and Indian population of America because it had a connection to their rituals for the dead.

The importance of the number 8
Kabba...
The Kaaba, was erected in the center of Mecca’s shrine area, where Venus as a meteorite has been worshipped for thousands of years. The cube shape of the Kaaba incorporates the alchemical number eight by having two four-sided squares, one above and one below (4+4), thus emphasizing and enhancing the alchemical properties of its indwelling form of Venus. Eight symbolizes the number of perfect expression, the octagon, the cube. As mentioned, the number 8 denoted both enlightenment as well as the two “worlds, “ Heaven and Earth, a point made explicit by the builders of the Kaaba, who incorporated into its structure thirty-one courses of stone and wood, then added two more, symbolizing Heaven and Earth, thus making thirty-three, the number of enlightenment.

In particular the Semites regarded trees, caves, springs, and large stones as being inhabited by spirits; like the Black Stone of Islam in a corner of the Ka'bah at Mecca, in Petra and other places in Arabia stones were venerated also" (History of the Islamic Peoples, Carl Brockelmann, p 8-10)
"According to a theory held by many, this temple [Kabah] had been sourceally connected with the ancient worship of the sun, moon and stars, and its circumambulation by the worshippers had a symbolical reference to the rotation of the heavenly bodies. Within its precincts and in its neighborhood there were found many idols, such as Hubal, Lat, Ozza, Manah, Wadd, Sawa, Yaghut, Nasr, Isaf, Naila, etc. A black stone in the temple wall was regarded with superstitious awe as eminently sacred" (Muhammad and Muhammadanism, S.W. Koelle, 1889, p. 17-19)

Thanks Nic
I had never seen it before
Thanks so much for explaining what was going on there

Here is from Andrews article

From Andrews article

Standing with my back to the Tour Magdela, facing the Grotto, I read my compass. What little colour I had left quickly dissipated. It read 22 degrees (south of west). What were the odds?

The Tower of the Magdalene (Tour Magdela) is reached by two sets of 11 steps (22). An anomalous floor tile points up a spiral stair case with 22 steps where a single window points unambiguously at a grotto whose ancient place name is 'Grotte du Fournet - dite de la Magdeleine', which translates as 'The Burial Site of the Mary Magdalene', and which is offset from the window by 22 degrees.

22, of course, is the feast day of Mary Magdalene.

Mr. Egypt confirmed my compass reading, and agreed with my theory that Abbe Sauniere had simply commemorated his discovery by encoding the number 22 in his restorations, namely the Tour Magdela.
