Artstrology Article: Christmas Unveiled
 
     
 

Each Zodiacal Sun Sign is comprised of 3 ten day periods called Decans. Each one begins with the 10 days of strength most associated with it's own purest form of persona. The first 10 days of Capricorn is referred to as the Decan of "Rope

The time frame is December 21 (or the winter solstice) to December 31.

Capricorn is the Archetype of Fatherhood. This is the first decan (ten day period) of just that. So it begins with a strong fatherly tone.
In all cases of historic portrayals of Sant Claus, he is fat and hairy. He brings judgement and provides incentive to parents to teach their children right and wrong. He punishes those who are disobedient and rewards those who have behaved well. Is this not the job of a Father ?
This is why it is the perfect birthday for any Male deity. Many cultures have many ways of celebrating this Fatherly time period, they all lead to and incorporate the image of duality in Fatherhood.

The below image is an ancient artists depiction of the Decan of Rope. It is from 500 AD of Hindu origin.





The 1st decan of Capricorn is Rope.

It is a male decan ruled by Saturn.
" A man with a frightful face is hairy and has teeth in disarray. His body is similar to a Boar. He is yoked and bound with chains."

Note the Ball on his head ! We have seen this before, have we not ? The white gloves ? White beard ?

Then there is the alter-ego of the devil-man. The Capricornian goat with hooves, horns and nasty sharp teeth. Simplistic duality.

Other similarities include : A chain rising up out of site symbolizing "as above so below" and ultimate control being maintained by creator above. ( if this was not an extremely powerful force, creator would not need a chain to hold it back) The white hair around the face. The load upon his back symbolizing responsibility. He is magical and no one has a choice as to whether or not he comes inside your house. "Spirit" of "Christmas".

There is an additional factor of great astrological importance at this time. Pluto is in Capricorn. This happens roughly every 236 years. It entered Rope in late fall of 2008 will be in the decan of Rope until approximately 2014. It was times like this that the legend of Father Time was born. Pluto will magnify the effects of this most auspicious astrological influence greatly. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn we had the Revolutionary War here on American soil and a new Nation was born under the auspice of, Justice, another key word in the description of Capricorn. So it was a time of punishment and reward. Fatherhood is rife with duality. They are the rewarders and the punishers. They are supposed to be fair and yet firm..

The aspect of Pluto is that of change. Observe the change in Fatherly structure around us at this time. All systems of Justice are in question. The political platforms of the last 2 years mentioned the word "change" at least a billion times. This is no coincidence.

Think of it this way. If you shop and buy from unethical places to satisfy the whims of the economy or merchants, you are directly interferring with the core principles of Fatherhood. If we try to save our economy by shopping out of guilt or responsibility, we are clinging to the old way and interferring with change being mandated from above.Trust in the Father, he will set things straight enough.

We are not Father Christmas and we should stop lying to the children about what Father Christmas is. We all know what happens when we pretend to be something we are not. Eventually, the children look back and cry, "Why did you lie to me ?" The truth is written in the stars and here it comes.

Duality in it's simplicity, is good and bad, so that's the way people portray it. Here it is from around the world.

On the "Good side" of fatherhood figures associated with this time we have, Jesus birthday, Father Christmas, Lord Christmas, Sir Christmas, Santa Claus or " Saint" Nikolas, and the guy with lightening, Zeus. There are many others involving Egypt and other ancient cultures, but those will be touched upon in a separate article due to many mis-conceptions associated with all that.

 


Santa Claus
 


Sinterklass


Saint Nick With Krampusse


Father Christmas


On the darker side of this energy we have, Belsnikel (early Pennsylvania or Dutch), Krampus or Krampusse, Satan, Kronos, and Ruprecht among others.

 


Kronos or Saturn
 


Krampusse


Capricorn The Constellation


Krampus With Chains


" In parts of Austria, Krampusse, who by local tradition were typically children of poor families, roamed the streets and sledding hills during the festival. They wore black rags and masks, dragging chains behind them, and occasionally hurling them towards children in their way. These Krampusumzüge (Krampus runs) still exist, although perhaps less violent than in the past."

" In some of the Ruprecht traditions, the children would be summoned to the door to perform tricks, such as a dance or singing a song to impress upon Santa and Ruprecht that they were indeed good children. Those who performed badly would be beaten soundly by Servant Ruprecht, and those who performed well were given a gift or some treats. Those who performed badly enough or had committed other misdeeds throughout the year were put into Ruprecht's sack and taken away, variously to Ruprecht’s home in the Black Forest, or to be tossed into a river. In other versions the children must be asleep, and would awake to find their shoes filled with either sweets, coal, or in some cases a stick. Over time, other customs developed: parents giving kids who misbehaved a stick instead of treats and saying that it was a warning from Nikolaus that "unless you improve by Christmas day[citation needed], Nikolaus' black servant Ruprecht will come and beat you with the stick and you won't get any Christmas gifts." Often there would be variations idiosyncratic to individual families.

" In many parts of Croatia, Krampus is described as a devil, wearing chains around his neck, ankles and wrists, and wearing a cloth sack around his waist. As a part of a tradition, when a child receives a gift from St. Nicolas he is given a golden branch to represent his/hers good deeds throughout the year; however, if the child has misbehaved, Krampus will take the gifts for himself and leave only a silver branch to represent the child's bad acts. Children are commonly scared into sleeping during the time St. Nicolas brings gifts by being told that if they are awake, Krampus will think they have been bad, and will take them away in his sack."

"" Though it is just one of nature's many cyclic events (which are possibly infinite in number, and in levels of complexity), the "negative peak" of The Winter Solstice is the particular one which appears to have most attracted the attention of human beings in ancient times. As is briefly described further down this page, people in Ireland had already discovered a means of accurately detecting this very important "turning-point" on the dip (of reducing daylight time) by around 3,100 BC; and, the large stone arrangement they constructed for doing so (at Newgrange) still functions accurately and reliably to this day. This very practical and useful device (which is also powerfully symbolic) was designed and built 500 years or so before "The Pyramid Age". (Dynasties III to VI, between 2686 B.C. and 2181 B.C.)"

" While the Greeks considered Cronus a force of chaos along with disorder, believing that the Olympian gods had brought an era of peace and order by seizing power from the crude and malicious Titans, the Romans had a more positive view of the deity. Although the Roman deity Saturn was conflated heavily with Cronus, the Romans favored Saturn much more than the Greeks did Cronus. While Cronus was considered a cruel and tempestuous deity to the Greeks, his nature under Roman influence became more innocuous, with his association with the Golden Age eventually causing him to become the god of "human time", i.e., calendars, seasons, and harvests — not to be confused with Chronos, the unrelated embodiment of time in general. While the Greeks largely neglected Cronus, considering him a mere intermediary stage between Ouranos and Zeus, he was a larger aspect of Roman mythology and religion; Saturnalia was a festival dedicated in his honor, and at least one temple to Saturn existed in the early Roman Kingdom.""

So here we come to the reason why the birth of Christ was conveniently placed on December 25. It is the 2 days after the darkest time of the year during this Fatherly energy pattern we face every year. Good and Bad. Dark and Light. Reward and Punishment. This is the same reward-punishment system modern religion has enslaved the minds of good people with for centuries.

To further the lunacy, let's suppose Jesus was born on Christmas as they say. Does it make any sense at all to give gifts to each other ? When it is a birthday, do you give gifts to people other than the person who is having a birthday ? And all the while under an assumed name of an invisible entity ?

If one were to apply spiritual law as man has always known it to this celebration, one would only be thanking Creator for sending the Christ and not worshipping Santa Claus. Isn't this why Egypt was ordered to be destroyed ? Do we call this Idolatry ? Is mass marketing the way Christ would want his birth remembered ?

Christmas (the way it is celebrated) makes no sense from a spiritual standpoint. This activity very much benefits the powers that be in Government, Corporate, and the Leaders of organized christianity.

It does however make very good sense to have cheer and celebration at the darkest time of year when the veil thins. This is the truth that resonates with people. This is the truth behind the activity. The mask it now wears is a false one and should be removed for all to see.

Thank the Father. That's what time it is. The Father of all.

The sacred calendar of the Father has a day of the Father every 20 days. Not once every 365.24.

That day is Tzi'kin. For 2009 it falls closest to Christmas on December 12 the day of 4/ Tzi'kin. And on January 1rst of 2010 is 11/ Tzi'kin.

Very important. January 1rst is thus......1/1/10 day of 11 Tzi'kin.

If you put this in your pipe and smoke it, it will surely taste sweet.
