Greek Cross

The Greek cross predates the Christian Cross and still contains the esoteric knowledge of the Great Celestial Conjunctions in the Great Year. This cross has nothing to do with the crucifixion of Christ because it was used by the Greek long before Christ was born. Christianity later adopted the Calvery Cross as its sacred symbol and the cross association with the original ancient symbolism of the Great Celestial Conjunctions and the Great Year was gradually lost. The Catholic Church has done everything within its power to eradicate these pagan roots of the cross and its original meaning but traces of the pagan roots of the new religion of the Age of Pisces can still be found in the ancient customs, symbols and artefacts of the Church. We will discuss the Church Crosses in the next paragraph and demonstrate that the ancient esoteric cross associations with the Great Year are not lost but preserved even within the Catholic Church!

 The Greek zodiac cross below encodes knowledge of the Great Celestial Conjunctions and precession.

Greek zodiac cross (Notice the 8 pointed cross in the centre)

First of all notice the eight-spoked wheel in the centre of the Greek cross; it’s the symbol of the Great Celestial Conjunction. The eight spoked wheel represents the zodiac wheel with the Earth Cross (the cross formed by the equinoxes and solstices) and the Galactic Cross superimposed. It is the zodiac wheel that spins during a precession cycle denoting the Earth Cross that rotates against the backdrop of the static Galactic Cross.

The Greek cross contains the 12 signs of the zodiac arranged in such a way that they encode the Great Celestial Conjunction of era-2012. From the centre of the cross there are three groups of zodiac signs in concentric rings around the centre.  In astrology these three groups are called the ‘fixed signs’, the ‘cardinal signs’ and the ‘mutable signs’. In the zodiac these 3 groups form 3 crosses and that’s why they are displayed on the Greek Cross as three separate crosses as well. This is achieved by the way these signs are distributed over the Greek Cross.

The first ring (closest to the centre) contains the cardinal signs (from the first sign on the right (Aries) in counter clockwise direction):

     Ring 1

• Aries
• Cancer
• Libra
• Capricorn

These four cardinal signs in the Tropical Zodiac determine the equinoxes and solstices! By definition the ‘first point’ of Aries defines the spring equinox, the first point in Cancer the summer solstice, the first point of Libra the autumn equinox and the first point of Capricorn the winter solstice.

The second ring (in the middle) contains the fixed signs (from the first sign on the right (Leo) in counter clockwise direction):

     Ring 2

• Leo
• Scorpio
• Aquarius
• Taurus

These are the four signs of the zodiac that since ancient times are associated with the Galactic Cross. The third ring contains the mutable signs (from the first sign on the right (Sagittarius) in counter clockwise direction):

     Ring 3

• Sagittarius
• Pisces
• Gemini
• Virgo

The signs of the third ring (outer ring) are the signs of the true Galactic Cross where the Milky Way and the ecliptic intersect. The Galactic Cross is defined by 5° Gemini, 5° Pisces, 5° Sagittarius and 5° Virgo in the sidereal zodiac.

Notice the snake or Ouroborous (a snake biting its own tail) in the Greek cross. The Ouroborous bites its own tail symbolising the cyclic nature of time in general and precession in particular. The snake represents the ecliptic, hence the path the Sun travels both in a solar year and a Platonic Year as well. The Ouroborous connects all the signs in the Greek zodiac cross in a particular order because it runs through the signs from tail to head in a well defined sequence. This sequence is the sequence the Sun passes through the signs in the precession cycle in reverse motion. While the Sun moves in forward direction through the signs of the zodiac in a solar year, it passes through these signs in opposite direction during the precession cycle.

The snake connects the signs of the Tropical Zodiac that are associated with the equinoxes/solstices with the signs associated with the nexuses of the Galactic Cross. The equinoxes and solstices in the Greek cross and their association with the Galactic Cross nexuses are such that they seem to encode the current Great Celestial Conjunction (era-2012) when:

• The sun resides in the Pisces-Aquarius nexus on the spring equinox.
• The sun resides in the Gemini-Cancer nexus on the summer solstice
• The sun resides in the Virgo-Leo nexus on the autumn equinox
• The sun resides in the Sagittarius-Scorpio nexus on the winter solstice

The Ouroborous of the Greek cross connects the signs of the zodiac
such that the current Great Celestial Conjunction (era-2012) is encoded.

If the Greek zodiac cross really encodes the current Great Celestial Conjunction can not be proven beyond any reasonable doubt because the Ouroborous follows the expected sequence order of the zodiac signs such that the signs of the three groups are automatically arranged in the four triplets as indicated in the table above.

Church  crosses

Catholic churches are the gathering places of the congregations and the church is the prime religious symbol of Christianity. Few believers are aware of the fact that these church buildings contain pagan elements that can be traced back to ancient Egypt. When a Christian enters the house of his father the first religious ritual that he’s expected to perform is to make the cross sign with the Holy Water with the words ‘In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, Amen’. Most likely the believer does not realise that Amen stands for Amen-Ra or Amen-Re the Sun God of ancient Egypt! I suggest that the cross sign he makes represents the cross of the zodiac and not Christ’s cross!

The Holy Water is contained in a font at the entrance of the church under the steeple. Egyptian temples had sacred pools that were used in purification rituals akin to Baptism. According to Christian teachings, the child will be purified from the sins commit by the parents during the conception of the child.

The ceiling of the entrance (under the steeple) is often adorned with the ‘All seeing eye of God’. The ‘All seeing eye of God’ is copied from the Egyptian ‘All seeing eye of Horus’!

Left: Eye of Horus Egypt
Right: All Seeing Eye and pyramid, Seal of the United States of America

The ‘All seeing Eye’ also occurs on the American Seal and on the dollar bill on the keystone of the pyramid! The founding fathers of the USA were freemasons who understood the significance of these ancient Egyptian symbols.

The church steeple itself has a relation with the ancient Egyptian custom to erect obelisks as tokens of Sun worship and appraisal of the Sun God Amen-Ra. Both in shape and length the church’s steeple and the obelisk have much in common and may explain why the steeple was given a spire to reflect the pyramidal top of the obelisk. The earliest Gothic Cathedrals (Chartres) were given pyramidal shaped spires such as the twelfth-century south tower spire.

On top of the church spire we find the wind vane that aligns with the direction of the wind. There’s a fixed cross that is aligned with the cardinal directions such that the direction of the wind can be determined. Many churches have wind vanes with 8 pointed crosses. In many cases these crosses consist of two separate 4 pointed crosses that are superimposed! One could argue that these 8 pointed crosses contain the four cardinal directions including the directions in between (NNE, NNW, SSE and SSW) but I suggest that the wind vane may have a deeper esoteric meaning! Placed on top of the church’s spire (representing a giant sun worshiping obelisk) the wind vane demonstrates how the axis of the solstice and equinox (the cock) can rotate against the backdrop of a fixed cross (the cross of the cardinal directions). It’s a metaphor for the rotation of the Earth Cross against the backdrop of the Galactic Cross. The wind vane esoterically also stands for alignment, the alignment of the vane with the wind.

Wind vanes found on churches, none of them are very useful since the fixed cross is placed vertical. The one of the right is a real wind vane! Notice how the ‘wind vanes’ are composed of two different four pointed crosses that are superimposed!

At the Vatican this understanding of the two crosses is displayed in a compelling way. At Saint Peter’s Square we find the obelisk at the centre of the square. Around the obelisk we find two circles. The inner circle contains a 4 pointed cross. The outer circle contains an 8 pointed cross. The obelisk at the centre of Saint Peter’s Square represents the Sun. The rotating Earth Cross (inner circle) is displayed here against the backdrop of the 8 pointed cross. The outer circle therefore represents the superimposed crosses of the Earth Cross and Galactic Cross.

The lines of the crosses are set in travertine among the cobblestones of the Plaza. In 1817 circular stones were set to mark the tip of the obelisks shadow at noon making the obelisk a giant sundial gnomon with Saint Peter’s square perfectly aligned to the cardinal directions!

Above: the perfect alignment of the St. Peter's square to the cardinal directions.
Below: The 8 pointed cross on St. Peter's square, the obelisk is a pagan token of Sun worship. There is a 4 pointed cross in the inner circle and an 8 pointed cross in the outer circle, the obelisk represents the Sun!

When the Pope gives his blessings to the public at St Peter’s square during the morning service at Easter, he’s facing directly into the equinox Sun which rises due East! The celebration of Easter is associated with the vernal equinox and has pagan roots. Its roots can be traced back to ancient Babylonian myths concerning the goddess Ishtar (pronounced as Easter) as we have demonstrated in this article. Ishtar is linked to the Babylonian understanding of the precession of the equinoxes and its association with the 8 pointed cross (Shamash).

Pope John Paul II addresses the public at Easter 6 days after the vernal equinox at March 27 2005 while he faces the equinox Sun. The palace is adorned with 8 pointed crosses that are associated with Ishtar and Shamash of ancient Babylon.

During services at the Vatican the Pope wears a stole with 8 pointed crosses. The 8 pointed crosses on the stole are actually two different 4 pointed crosses that are superimposed! The palace from which he speaks is adorned with 8 pointed crosses.

The 8 pointed crosses on the papal stole are two different four pointed crosses superimposed! On the right Pope Benedict XVI delivering Urbi Et Orbi. One wonders who he really welcomes at Easter facing the equinox Sun when he spreads his arms to form the cross of the Zodiac? Notice the crosses on his stole.

The Coat of Arms of the Holy See contains crosses on crosses and bears little resemblance with the cross that Jesus died on, the real Christian Cross. Notice that there are two crosses on two keys. The keys themselves form yet another cross. 

 
Coat of Arms of the Holy See

In Christian churches we find abundant examples of 8 pointed crosses in lead glass windows and floor tiles and in most if not all cases these 8 pointed crosses exist of two separate four pointed crosses!

What do all these strange 4 and 8 pointed crosses do in Christian churches that bear no resemblance with the original cross that Christ died on?

El obelisco de Luxor erigido en la Plaza de la Concordia, París

Un obelisco u óbelo (del idioma griego ὀβελίσκος - obeliskos, diminutivo irónico de ὀβελός - obelos: espeto, aguja) es un monumento pétreo con forma de pilar, de sección cuadrada, con cuatro caras trapezoidales iguales, ligeramente convergentes, rematado superiormente en una pequeña pirámide denominada piramidón. Generalmente se erigían sobre una base de piedra prismática. Los antiguos obeliscos se tallaron de un solo bloque de piedra (monolitos). El primero del que se tiene noticia se data en la época de Userkaf, faraón de la dinastía V de Egipto (c. 2500 a. C.). Se desconoce cómo eran erigidos estos monumentos, pues no hay ninguna documentación egipcia describiendo el método empleado.

 

 

Obeliscos antiguos[editar]

Egipto[editar]

Los obeliscos se utilizaron de manera prominente en el Antiguo Egipto. Tallados en un solo bloque de piedra, generalmente se colocaban por pares a la entrada de las tumbas a las cuales llevaban un gran poder vivificante que tenía algún efecto en la posterior resurrección del difunto. Durante la breve reforma religiosa de Ajenatón se consideraban como rayos petrificados de Atón, el disco solar.

Obelisco de Tutmosis III, Estambul, Turquía

La mayoría de los obeliscos procedían de las canteras de granito de Asuán. Actualmente se conocen más de treinta obeliscos egipcios terminados y uno inacabado (hallado en dicha cantera).

Muchos obeliscos egipcios fueron llevados a Roma, la capital del imperio dominante. Posteriormente, otros imperios de occidente también se llevaron obeliscos egipcios para erigirlos en sus capitales, como es el caso del erigido en la Plaza de la Concordia en París.

Obelisco de Sesostris I, en Heliópolis (Egipto). Es el más antiguo que se conserva íntegro.

Asiria[editar]

La forma de obelisco fue utilizada por la civilización asiria desde sus inicios. Ejemplo de ello es el obelisco negro de Salmanasar III, del siglo IX a. C., esculpido en una pieza de basalto de 1,98 metros de altura, donde se representan escenas de entrega de tributos. Fue descubierto en Nimrud y actualmente está expuesto en el Museo Británico.

Reino Axumita, Etiopía y Eritrea[editar]

Obelisco de Axum (Etiopía).

El reino Axumita de Etiopía y Eritrea erigió varios obeliscos. El más notable es el obelisco de Axum de 24 m de alto esculpido hacia el siglo IV a. C. Este obelisco fue tomado por Italia al terminar la segunda guerra ítalo-etíope, llevado a Roma en 1937 y erigido en la Piazza di Porta Capena. En 2003, el gobierno italiano aceptó devolver este obelisco, que fue transportado por avión de vuelta a Axum, dividido en tres partes. El monumento fue erigido en su lugar original el 4 de septiembre de 2008.

Roma[editar]

Los romanos también esculpieron sus propios obeliscos al estilo egipcio, de los cuales se conocen:

• Agonalis, Plaza Navona (Roma), Domiciano (16,5 m)
• Pinciano, Plaza Passeggiata (Roma), Adriano (9,2 m)
• Salustiano, Plaza de España (Roma), Aureliano (13,9 m)
