He Used Magick To Communicate With Hathor S Third Eye

Here's an deserted possibility from Obsolete Egypt that has an attractive, decipherable splendidly.

Hathor (accurate "HAHTH-awr") is the Greek form of "Het-Heru", meaning "the national of Horus." One of the divinity oldest names is Mehturt, meaning "vigorous watercourse." This was the same as she was produce link with the Velvety Way, which was explicit as the Nile of the sky back then. Due to this, Hathor presided improved the soak of the Nile.

This deity's origin are badly behaved to taste the same as her ardor predates recorded Obsolete Egyptian history. In the initial icons she is depicted as a cow goddess participating in a sun gang plate and a necklace. Like, she was rendered as a at all with a cow's mind's eye, or as a setting looking individual. Detain you ever seen the Neo-Pagan statues of a unnamed individual with her arms raised up in a circle? That's Harthor too. Hathor presided improved love, music, paternity, childbirth, walk, and beauty. One of the best dominant goddesses in Obsolete Egypt she was loved by sad and royal family peer. It was supposed that she welcomed the dead in the bordering life.

Some readers may be capacity, "Conduct. I purposefulness Isis did all that. When gives?" In fact, Hathor was sometimes combination with Isis, even whilst the two goddesses suitable unconventionally. In fact, some texts even list her as the mother of Rah. This was not seen as a paradox. The Obsolete Egyptians supposed that gods had the power to crisscross with each other the same as detail is rumbling.

According to one myth, Hathor is not to be trifled with. In this metaphor, Rah, the emperor of Cover Egypt, was no longer celebrated by the inhabitants of Make worse Egypt. He hand-me-down magick to relay with Hathor's third eye. He told her that some of his inhabitants were concept to hang him. Hathor became so angry that she combination with Sekhmet, the goddess of war, and slaughtered the offending the populace and drank their blood. Probably Rah purposefulness she got a diminutive carried up your sleeve, the same as he poured blood-colored snifter on the base to confuse her. Sekhmet drank the snifter and became high, transforming back in the sphere of the serious Hathor.

I regard some westerners don't desire that "cow goddess" is a praising direction. But why not use it? Isis seems to be pretense slightly well on the charts. A Hathor possibly will fling out with Harper, Arthur, and Hawthorn. And it seems cordial for a girl born within the flourishing become old of the year.

OUR LADY OF G... THE VIRGIN OR TONANTZIN?Ronald A. Barnett (Mexconnect)The fame of the Virgin of Guadalupe [the Mahayana Buddhist GUAN YIN] rose rapidly after the Spanish Conquest and has continued to the present day. A small church was constructed on the spot [in Mexico] where the apparition first appeared [to Juan Diego]. In 1709, a larger church was erected on the site of the original sanctuary.

In 1745, the Vatican recognized Juan Diego's vision as a miracle and two new Basilicas were built, one in 1904, the present one in 1976. Today the shrine of Guadalupe in Mexico City has become one of the most famous sites in Christendom visited by millions of pilgrims annually.

Guanyin, the Buddhist Virgin (a word that does not mean sex-less but virtuous), the Aztec goddess Tonantzin and Hindu Lakshmi (related to the historical Buddha's chief female disciple, Uppalavanna)

Aztec goddess?

However, there is another side to the story. Before the fall of the Aztec capital of "Tenochtitlan" in 1521, the hill where Juan Diego had his vision had also been the site of an ancient temple to the Aztec goddess Tonantzin ("Our Revered Mother"), later leveled to the ground by the Spaniards.

According to the great Franciscan ethnographer Sahagun "Our Mother" Tonan was also known as "Ilamatecuhtli" (a noble old woman) and "Cozcamiauh" (a necklace of maize flowers).

Aztec deities ["devas", extraterrestrial entities] could not only be of double gender, but different names represented different facets of the character of the same deity.

Tonantzin, therefore, may be associated with the dread goddess "Cihuacoatl" (a serpent ["naga"] woman), whom Sahagun identified not with the Virgin Mary [Jewish-Aramaic name Mariam, Miriyam], but with Our Mother Eve and her encounter with the serpent of good and evil in the Garden of Eden....

Accordingly, the ancient Aztec belief in Tonantzin and the Christian faith in the Virgin Mary are not necessarily contradictory.

Christianity in Mexico has been described as Mesoamerican Catholicism, an inextricable blending of Pre-Hispanic religion with the symbols and tenets of Christianity.

In the case of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Indians in Mexico simply transferred their beliefs and practices from Tonantzin, the Goddess of the Earth, to Mary, the Mother of God.

In the process, the Indians also transformed the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church to conform with and support their own Pre-Hispanic religion and world outlook. At least this is one point of view. MORE>>

WHO IS THE BUDDHIST GODDESS GUANYIN?Circle-of-light.comGuan YIN is known as one of the "Four Great BODHISATTVAS" (according to the Shambala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen). She is an important element of Buddhism -- the personification of mercy and compassion. Ubiquitous in temples and iconography, she is venerated throughout Asia.

Also known as Kwan Yin, Quan Yin, Kwannon, and Kuan Shih Yin, the Goddess of Compassion and Healing is one of the most popular deities in all of Asia. Her name in Chinese roughly translates as "The One who Hears the Cries of the World."

As in Christian-Catholicism, where she sometimes overshadows the founder of the religion, Guanyin is the most beloved and revered of all the Chinese deities. Guanyin is the Divine Mother longed for throughout the world: merciful, tender, compassionate, loving, protecting, caring, healing, and wise.

She quietly comes to the aid of her children everywhere. Some say her Sanskrit mantra is "Om mani padme hum" ("Hail the jewel in the lotus"). She is the female representation of Avalokita (Avalokiteshvara), the Tibetan and Nepalese God of Compassion. Throughout Asia, statues of Guanyin are found in front and around many Buddhist temples. Just as Catholic-Christianity has provided an antidote to pure theological patriarchy by encouraging the reverence of the Virgin Mary, so Chinese Buddhism evolved a feminine "bodhisattva" ("buddha"-to-be) and called her Guanyin.

And just as Mary (or Guadalupe, the name of the place where she most famously appeared) captured the hearts of Catholic worshipers, so Guanyin far outstripped the male "bodhisattvas" in popularity.

Both in Japan (as Kwannon, often pictured as male because deities have the ability to appear as either) and in pre-revolutionary China, this semi-divine being was honored in virtually every home. She was the most powerful being in the entire Chinese pantheon.

Guanyin is depicted in various forms and poses. She always appears cloaked in white, the color of purity, and her gowns are long and flowing. She is often holding a rosary in one hand, a symbol of her devotion to Buddhism and its tenets. At times she is compassionately pouring healing water like the Hindu version of feminine divinity, Lakshmi (on lotus at left). Guanyin is sometimes depicted with a book ("The Lotus Sutra", which refers to her origins) in place of the vase.

At times, she might be holding a willow branch, which is a symbol of flexibility, bend or adapting without breaking. The willow is also used in shamanistic rituals and of course has medicinal properties as well. At other times, Guanyin is seen holding a child (Madonna with child, a favorite them in European art), a reminder of her role as the patron saint of barren women.

Another common form of Guanyin is with a thousand arms. An eye embedded in each palm or holding various symbolic objects. Her arms allow her to help stop the suffering of those around the world, while the thousand eyes help her see those in need. (There is a story of how she got a thousand arms).

Guanyin may also be seen standing with a peacock (a favorite Hindu theme in Indian art), since the spread tail feathers look as if they have eyes in them. MORE>>
