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.

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

"
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.
