Calendario juliano:

El calendario introducido por Julio César intentó llevar algo de orden a la forma de contar el tiempo en el Imperio romano. Resolvía el problema del cuarto de día extra introduciendo un año bisiesto. Cada cuatro años el año es un día más largo, y esto arregla en su mayor parte el deslizamiento que se producía en el calendario egipcio. Sin embargo, no lo arreglaba del todo, porque el año es 11 minutos y 14 segundos más corto que 365 días y cuarto. Esos errores comenzaron a acumularse (significaban 7 días cada 1000 años) hasta que empezaron a dificultar la observancia de la Pascua.

Origen del nombre de los meses del año.

Los Meses y su Historia...

Enero

Hasta la reforma del calendario hecha por el segundo rey de Roma, Numa Pompolio, que le agregó a los diez meses del año primitivo de Rómulo, fue el undécimo. .

Febrero

Entre los antiguos Romanos este mes ocupaba el último lugar, mientras que el calendario actual lo encontramos en segundo termino.

Marzo

En el primitivo calendario romano figuró este mes como primero del año, en el de Numa Pompolio ocupó el segundo, y desde los decenviros hasta nuestros días lo encontramos en el tercero.

Abril

En el calendario de Rómulo era Abril el mes que iniciaba el año. Su nombre latino "Aprilis" se deriva del verbo aperire, que significa abrir,

Mayo

Este mes era el tercero en el primitivo calendario romano, y con la reforma de Numa Pompolio pasó al quinto lugar que conservó en los calendarios juliano y gregoriano.

Junio

Entre los Romanos figuró como cuarto mes del año y constaba de 26 días, en la reforma de Rómulo se le asignaron 30 días; poco después Numa lo redujo a 29, hasta que Julio César decretó que tuviese 30 días

Julio

Entre los Romanos fue el quinto mes del año y por eso se llamaba Quintilis, constaba de 36 días. Rómulo lo redujo a 31; Numa le quito un día más y Julio Cesar decretó que tuviese 31, como en la actualidad los conserva.

Agosto

El mes de Agosto consta de 31 días desde que Julio Cesar le agregó 2. Este mes no ha tenido siempre en el calendario, el lugar que actualmente ocupa.

Septiembre

Como su nombre lo indica (septem, siete), era el séptimo mes del calendario romano, y de este lugar que ocupaba el orden de sucesión de los meses le vino su denominación.

Octubre

Octubre que figura como décimo mes en el calendario actual era el Octavo en el año de Rómulo, de ahí su nombre latino de octo, o sea ocho.

Noviembre

El mes de Noviembre de llama así porque en el primitivo calendario de Roma era el Noveno de los que constituían el año.

Diciembre

Era en el calendario Romano el último mes o décimo, llamado por esto December. Después el año constó de doce meses, intercalando los de Julio y Agosto que se llamaron así en recuero de Julio César y Augusto.

Caesar changed the calendar (Daniel 7:24-25) in order for it to start on January 1st, a month named after Janus, the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings.

He was the god of 'regeneration.'

Two Babylons pg 128
“Now, wherever Noah is celebrated, whether by the name of Saturn click here , “the hidden one,”–for that name was applied to him as well as to Nimrod, on account of his having been “hidden” in the ark, in the “day of the Lord's fierce anger,”–or, “Oannes,” or “Janus,” the “Man of the Sea,” he is generally described in such a way as shows that he was looked upon as Diphues, “twice-born,” or “regenerate.” The “twice-born” Brahmins, who are all so many gods upon earth, by the very title they take to themselves, show that the god whom they represent, and to whose prerogatives they lay claim, had been known as the “twice-born” god . The connection of “regeneration” with the history of Noah, comes out with special evidence in the accounts
handed down to us of the Mysteries as celebrated in Egypt. The most learned explorers of Egyptian antiquities, including Sir Gardiner Wilkinson, admit that the story of Noah was mixed up with the story of Osiris. The ship of Isis, and the coffin of Osiris, floating on the waters, point distinctly to that remarkable event. There were different periods, in different places in Egypt, when the fate of Osiris was lamented; and at one time there was more special reference to the personal history of “the mighty hunter before the Lord,” and at another to the awful catastrophe through which Noah passed. In the great and solemn festival called “The Disappearance of Osiris,” it is evident that it is Noah himself who was then supposed to have been lost. The time when Osiris was “shut up in his coffin,” and when that coffin was set afloat on the waters, as stated by Plutarch, agrees exactly with the period when Noah entered the ark. That time was “the 17th day of the month Athyr, when the overflowing of the Nile had ceased, when the nights were growing long and the days decreasing.” The month Athyr was the second month after the autumnal equinox, at which time the civil year of the Jews and the patriarchs began. According to this statement, then, Osiris was “shut up in his coffin” on the 17th day of the second month of the patriarchal year. Compare this with the Scriptural account of Noah's entering into the ark, and it will be seen how remarkably they agree (Gen 7:11), “In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the SECOND MONTH, in the SEVENTEENTH DAY of the month, were all the fountains of the great deep broken up; in the self- same day entered Noah into the ark.” The period, too, that Osiris (otherwise Adonis) was believed to have been shut up in his coffin, was precisely the same as Noah was confined in the ark, a whole year. * *
* APOLLODORUS. THEOCRITUS, Idyll. Theocritus is speaking of Adonis as delivered by Venus from Acheron, or the infernal regions, after being there for a year; but as the scene is laid in Egypt, it is evident that it is Osiris he refers to, as he was the Adonis of the Egyptians.

Now, the statements of Plutarch demonstrate that, as Osiris at this festival was looked upon as dead and buried when put into his ark or coffin, and committed to the deep, so, when at length he came out of it again, that new state was regarded as a state of “new life,” or “REGENERATION.”

Two Babylon's pg 244
“Saturn, the hidden god,–the god of the Mysteries, whom the Pope represents, whose secrets were revealed only to the initiated,–was identical with Janus, who was publicly known to all Rome, to the uninitiated and initiated alike, as the grand Mediator, the opener and the shutter, who had the key of the invisible world.

Now, what means the name Janus? That name, as Cornificius in Macrobius shows, was properly Eanus; and in ancient Chaldee, E-anush signifies “the Man.” By that very name was the Babylonian beast from the sea called, when it first made its appearance * The name, as given in Greek by Berosus, is O-annes; but this is just the very way we might expect “He-anesth,” “the man,” to appear in Greek. He-siri, in Greek, becomes Osiris; and He-sarsiphon, Osarsiphon; and, in like manner, Heanesh naturally becomes Oannes. In the sense of a “Man-god,” the name Oannes is taken by Barker (Lares and Penates). We find the conversion of the H' into O' among our own immediate neighbours, the Irish; what is now O'Brien and O'Connell was originally H'Brien and H'Connell (Sketches of Irish History).

The name E-anush, or “the Man,” was applied to the Babylonian Messiah, as identifying him with the promised seed of the Woman. The name of “the Man,” as applied to a god, was intended to designate him as the “god-man.” We have seen that in India the Hindoo Shasters bear witness, that in order to enable the gods to overcome their enemies, it was needful that the Sun, the
supreme divinity, should be incarnate, and born of a Woman. The classical nations had a legend of precisely the same nature. “There was a current tradition in heaven,” says Apollodorus, “that the giants could never be conquered except by the help of a man.” That man, who was believed to have conquered the adversaries of the gods, was Janus, the god-man.

In consequence of his assumed character and exploits, Janus was invested with high powers, made the keeper of the gates of heaven, and arbiter of men's eternal destinies. Of this Janus, this Babylonian “man,” the Pope, as we have seen, is the legitimate representative; his key, therefore, he bears, with that of Cybele, his mother-wife; and to all his blasphemous pretensions he at this hour lays claim. The very fact, then, that the Pope founds his claim to universal homage on the possession of the keys of heaven, and that in a sense which empowers him, in defiance of every principle of Christianity, to open and shut the gates of glory, according to his mere sovereign will and pleasure, is a striking and additional proof that he is that head of the beast from the sea, whose number, as identified with Janus, is the number of a man, and amounts exactly to 666.”

Hislop further links Janus to Adam, the 'god-man' in the flesh (carnal nature). This is the essence of the Mystery religions. Man's desire to be immortal and at the same time not die to the carnal nature.

“But there is something further still in the name of Janus or Eanus, not to be passed over. Janus, while manifestly worshipped as the Messiah or god-man, was also celebrated as “Principium Decorum,” the source and fountain of all the Pagan gods. We have already in this character
traced him backward through Cush to Noah; but to make out his claim to this high character, in its proper completeness, he must be traced even further still. The Pagans knew, and could not but know, at the time the Mysteries were concocted, in the days of Shem and his brethren, who, through the Flood, had passed from the old world to the new, the whole story of Adam, and therefore it was necessary, if a deification of mankind there was to be, that his pre-eminent dignity, as the human “Father of gods and men,” should not be ignored. Nor was it. Tampoco lo era. The La
Mysteries were full of what he did, and what befel him; and the name E-anush, or, as it appeared in the Egyptian form, Ph'anesh, “The man,” was only another name for that of our great progenitor. The name of Adam in the Hebrew of Genesis almost always occurs with the article before it, implying “The Adam,” or “The man.” There is this difference, however–”The Adam” refers to man unfallen, E-anush, “The man,” to “fallen man.” E-anush, then, as “Principium decorum,” “The fountain and father of the gods,” is “FALLEN Adam.” *
* Anesh properly signifies only the weakness or frailty of fallen humanity; but any one who consults OVID, Fashti, as to the character of Janus, will see that when E-anush was deified, it was not simply as Fallen man with his weakness, but Fallen man with his corruption .

“The very apostolic designation, Peter, is from the Mysteries . The hierophant or supreme pontiff bore the Chaldean title peter , or interpreter. The names Phtah, Peth'r, the residence of Balaam, Patara, and Patras, the names of oracles-cities, pateres or pateras and, perhaps, Buddha, all come from the same root … No apostle Peter was ever at Rome; but the Pope, seizing the scepter of the Pontifex Maximus, the keys of Janus and Kubelé, and adorning his Christian head with the cap of the Magna Mater, copied from that of the tiara of Brahmtma, the Supreme Pontiff of the Initiates of old India, became the successor of the Pagan high priest , the real Peter-Roma, or Petroma (the tiara of the Pope is also a perfect copy of that of the Dalai-Lama of Thibet)” ( Isis Unveiled , Blavatsky, p. 30).

Two Babylons pg 184
“Janus bore a key, and Cybele bore a key; and these are the two keys that the Pope emblazons on his arms as the ensigns of his spiritual authority…I have said that the Pope became the representative of Janus, who, it is evident, was none other
than the Babylonian Messiah. If the reader only considers the blasphemous assumptions of the Papacy, he will see how exactly it has copied from its original. In the countries where the Babylonian system was most thoroughly developed, we find the Sovereign Pontiff of the Babylonian god invested with the very attributes now ascribed to the Pope. Is the Pope called “God upon earth,” the “Vice-God,” and “Vicar of Jesus Christ”? The King in Egypt, who was Sovereign Pontiff, * was, says Wilkinson, regarded with the highest reverence as “THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DIVINITY ON EARTH.”

Janus – Lucifer

Two Babylon's pg 205
“The power, the popularity, and skill of Nimrod, as well as the seductive nature of the system itself, enabled him to spread the delusive doctrine far and wide, as he was represented under the well-known name of Phaethon, This Phaethon, or Lucifer, who was cast down is further proved to be Janus; for Janus is called “Pater Matutinus” (HORACE); and the meaning of this name will appear in one of its aspects when the meaning of the name of the Dea Matuta is ascertained. Dea Matuta signifies “The kindling or Light-bringing goddess,” * and accordingly, by Priscian, she is identified with Aurora.”

Janus – Phoenix

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). Un ave fénix es un pájaro mítico con un plumaje colorido y una cola de oro y escarlata (o púrpura, azul, verde y de acuerdo con algunas leyendas). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. El nuevo fénix está destinado a vivir tanto como su viejo yo. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek).

Manly P. Hall The Phoenix: An Illustrated Review of Occultism and Philosophy

“Among the ancients a fabulous bird called the Phoenix is described by early writers … in size and shape it resembles the eagle, but with certain differences. The body of the Phoenix is one covered with glossy purple feathers, and the plumes in its tail are alternately blue and red. The head of the bird is light in color, and about its neck is a circlet of golden plumage. At the back of its back the Phoenix has a crest of feathers of brilliant color … The Phoenix, it is said, lives for 500 years, and at its death its body opens and the new born Phoenix emerges. Because of this symbolism, the Phoenix is generally regarded as representing immortality and resurrection … The Phoenix is one sign of the secret orders of the ancient world and of the initiate of those orders, for it was common to refer to one who had been accepted into the temples as a man twice-born, or reborn . Wisdom confers a new life, and those who become wise are born again.” [pp 176-77]

Barbara Walker Now Is The Dawning , p. 281 281

“Egyptians believed that the Phoenix was the representative of a god who “rose to heaven in the form of a morning star, like Lucifer, after his fire-immolation of death and rebirth …”

William Schnoebelen, in his book, Satan's Door Revisited , p. 4. 4. “The Phoenix, of Bunnu is believed to be a divine bird going back to Egypt … This Phoenix destroys itself in flames and then rises from the ashes. Most occultists believe that the Phoenix is a symbol of Lucifer who was cast down in flames and who … will one day rise triumphant. This [belief] also relates to the raising of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic 'christ'.”

Manly P. Hall The Lost Keys of Freemasonry pg 108

“These were the immortals to whom the term 'phoenix' was applied, and their symbol was the mysterious two-headed bird , now called an eagle , a familiar and little understood Masonic emblem .”

Masonic author, R. Swinburne Clymer The Mysteries of Osiris , pg 42

“When they [pagans] desired to express the renewal, or beginning, of the year, they represented it in the form of a door-keeper. It could easily be distinguished by the attributes of a key … At times, they gave it two heads, back to back … In time, this [back-to-back key symbol] became the double-headed Eagle of symbolic Masonry. “

Here we see the true meaning of why January 1st was chosen as New Year's day. The day that was sacred to Janus. The two headed god who represented being 'reborn' or regenerated.

Biederman's Dictionary explains the symbolism of the eagle: “In ancient Syria, the eagle was associated with the sun-god. It was said to be capable of rejuvenation, like the phoenix.”

Order out of Chaos

Manly P. Hall, 33o , the 20th Century's most revered Masonic scholar, titled this “The Double-Headed Eagle, The Supreme Symbol,” in his book The Secret Teachings of All Ages

Chaos begets order, but chaos ensues again, followed by order, and so on. The conflict of opposites leads finally to system equilibrium which is disturbed once again by renewed conflict, and a new, temporary stage of equilibrium is achieved. Ever upward, evolving until perfection . So, the Illuminist is a perfectionist ever changing, seeking more light as he travels down that yellow brick road to tomorrow.

Order out of chaos brings 'balance', equilibrium

The hexagram is the sign used in the Royal Arch in Freemasonry. Masonic author Wes Cook, writing in Did You Know? Vignettes in Masonry from the Royal Arch Mason Magazine , [Missouri Lodge of Research, 1965, p. 132] stated that the hexagram represented “balance and harmony” in all facets of the world. Another Masonic publication links the hexagram with the infamous Chinese YANG AND YIN symbol. ["The Significant Numbers", Short Talk Bulletin , September, 1956, Vol. 34, No. 9, p. 5] 5]
