The Allegory


The story of the Last Supper may not be as simple as it might seem.
Actually, it’s an Astronomical allegory foretelling the sun’s pending death at the winter solstice. 
The Last Supper story found in the Bible comes from an ancient Pagan ritual celebrating the harvest, illustrated in an astrological allegory. 

Christianity is based on the (son) sun worshiping of the Hebrews and the Bible stories are simply a collection of Astrological allegory. 
Jesus became the sun God that was personified.
The birth of Jesus and his death marked the end of the age of Aries, the ram (2160 BCE-1BCE), and the beginning of the age of Pisces the fish (1 BCE-2160CE, that occurred around 2000 years ago. 

In the last supper astronomical allegory, Jesus (the sun) gathered his 12 disciples (the 12 signs of the Zodiac) to prepare for the Saviors (Sun) pending death (the winter solstice) AND Jesus's (sun's) rebirth 3 day’s later on December 25th (the time when the sun appears to start it's northerly track). 

In most sun worshiping beliefs, common at the time, the sun (God) was believed to have died on or about the 22nd of December, at the winter solstice, and was reborn 3 day’s later on December 25th, when the sun began it’s northern movement on the horizon and the day’s began to get longer and longer. 
In the last supper story, Jesus, the sun personified, told of pending betrayal by one of his disciples (one of the 12 signs of the zodiac). 

The betrayer was Judas who was personified by Scorpio (the Scorpion). When the sun (Jesus) was in the house of Scorpio (Judas), the scorpion betrayed Jesus (the sun) with a kiss (a sting). 
The sun (Jesus) died an agonizing death, was stabbed by the Sagittarius spear on the cross, was placed into a cave tomb, and was raised from the dead 3 day’s later. 

The last supper was the astronomical allegory foretelling astronomical events. In the Leonard Davinci painting "the last supper", you can see that the apostles are gathered in 4 sets of 3 figures each, with Jesus at the center. 
The 12 figures represent the 12 signs of the zodiac and them being gathered in 4 sets represent the 4 seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall. 

Jesus is the sun at the center. 
Davinci’s painting is an astrological allegory as well.

Of course, there are those who believe this allegory connection to Jesus is false. You can decide for yourself.

The Months, the Moon and the Sun


The word “Month” comes from the word “Moon” 




Throughout history, people have used different types of calendars to help them know when to plant crops, choose the best hunting times, plan meetings and observe religious holidays. 


All calendars work by making it possible for you to organize time units by observing astronomical cycles. Months are based on the moon's orbit around the Earth, years are based Earth's orbit around the sun and days depend on how fast the Earth revolves around its axis.


Solar Calendars and the Sun

Solar calendars, such as the Gregorian calendar, track time using tropical years. 

A tropical year, also called a solar year, is the length of time between two vernal equinoxes. 

That time period is 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. 

Many people refer to a vernal equinox is the first day of spring. 

There is no U.S. law that forces people to observe Gregorian solar calendar dates. 

The use of that calendar dates back to 1751 when the United Kingdom told its colonies to use the Gregorian calendar.


Lunar Phases and New Moons

A new moon is the opposite of a full moon. 

As the moon orbits the Earth, its position relative to the Earth and sun changes, and the moon appears to go through phases. 

When the Earth sits between the moon and sun, people on Earth see a full moon at night. 

A new moon occurs when the moon sits between the sun and the Earth. 

New moons occur during the day, so you can't see them because of the sun's brightness. 

A quarter moon, on the other hand, occurs when the moon completes 25 percent of its orbit around this planet.


Lunar Calendars

Because the moon circles the Earth in the same time it takes to rotate once, the moon always shows one face to the Earth. That's why you never see its far side. 

A new moon occurs every 29.5 days. Astronomers call the time between new moons a synodic month. 

All lunar calendars that people create base their months on the synodic month rather than the months you find on a solar calendar.


JANUARY-Named for the Roman god Janus,’ god of doorways’ and beginnings. (Remember the Pope opened the ‘Holy Door’ on Jan. 1 2000?)January is man’s beginnings not God’s. 

The holy bible reveals that God’s new year is around March 21 when the spring equinox occurs.


FEBRUARY– Named for the Roman festival of purification ‘Februa’. 

The first day of the Carnival season is always January 6th (which is twelve days after Christmas). 

This is called the Twelfth Night (Kings Night) and marks the beginning of the private masked balls that are held until Mardi Gras Day. 

Mardi Gras Day (Which is always Fat Tuesday.) is the last and greatest day of the carnival season before their 40 days of lent.


MARCH– Named for the Roman God Mars, who was the god of war and guardian of the state. 

Mars was the father of Romulus and Remus.


APRIL– From the Roman calendar month of Aprilis. 

Considered a scared month for the goddess Venus. 

April also comes from the Latin word aperire meaning “to open” refering to a spring season, opening of the flowers and leaves.


MAY– Named for the goddess Maia, the daughter of Atlas and one of the “Seven Sisters” of the Pleiades.


JUNE– Named for the goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and queen of the heavens and gods


JULY– Named for Julius Caesar in 44 BC. 

The month originally had the Roman name of Quintilis (meaning five).


AUGUST– Named for the Roman Emperor Augustus in 8 BC. 

The month was formerly known as Sextilis (meaning six).


SEPTEMBER– From the Latin word “septem” meaning seven, which was the seventh month of the calendar. (Yet we use it as the ninth month?)


OCTOBER– From the Latin word “octo” meaning eight, which was the eight month of the calendar. (Yet we use it as the tenth month?)


NOVEMBER– From the Latin word “novem” meaning nine, which was the ninth month of the calendar. (Yet we use it as the eleventh month?)


DECEMBER– From the Latin word decem meaning ten, which was the tenth month of the calendar. (Yet we use it as the twelfth month?)

As The Wheel Turns - The Summer Solstice





The Summer Soltice is on the way.
The gardens are beautiful, and summer is here.
There are picnics, the hiking, walking in the park, swimming, the barbeques, the joys of Midsummer.
Litha, the summer solstice Sabbat honors the longest day of the year. 
There are many different ways you can celebrate Litha, but whatever celebration we choose, the focus all about the sun. 
Because of the sun, the crops are growing and we can watch nature bask in the long sunny days as we enjoying the outdoors, spending more time with nature.
Midsummer marks the beginning of the Sun's dying strength before beginning its slide into darkness and we experience the longest day and shortest night of the year.

Reason For The Season, The Sun




Christmas is the celebration as the days start to lengthen, which in the Northern Hemisphere, is in the middle of winter. 

The "reason of the season" is honoring the sun, it’s death on December 21st and resurrection or rebirth on December 25th.




From the summer solstice to the winter solstice, the days become shorter and colder.  

From the viewpoint of the northern hemisphere, the sun appears to be moving south and gets smaller and the days get shorter.  

The shortening of the days and the approaching winter solstice symbolized death to the ancients.  

So what we have here is the death of the Sun.  

By December 22nd, the Sun’s death was final, it had moved south continually for 6 months, made it to it’s lowest point in the sky.  

It appears that the Sun has stop moving south, it hangs there for 3 days.  

During the 3 days the Sun hangs on the Southern Cross, or Crux, constellation.  

And after this time on December 25th, the Sun moves 1 degree, this time north. 

It’s the beginning of longer days, warmth, and Spring is not far off.




And so it was said: the Sun died on the cross, was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected or born again.  

It is the Sun’s movement back into the Northern Hemisphere, which brings Spring, life and salvation.

However, they did not celebrate the resurrection of the Sun until the spring equinox, or Easter.  

This is because at the spring equinox, the Sun officially overpowers the darkness, as daytime thereafter becomes longer in duration than night, and the rebirth of spring become obvious.


Christmas, a secular midwinter holiday season, a multicultural festival with ancient Pagan history, and can be celebrated by everyone.

Let The Sunshine In



Indonesians are soaking up the Sun rays believing the sunshine will fight off coronavirus.
The thought behind this is, the vitamin D it supplies, can slow or kill the virus.
Additionally, there’s hope the Sun will strengthen the immune system.
Science isn’t so sure about the theories, but say a 15-minute burst of morning sunshine can be good for you.

"Exposing the body to direct sunlight is good to get vitamin D, not to directly prevent the disease," said Dr. Dirga Sakti Rambe at Jakarta’s OMNI Pulomas Hospital.
Vitamin D, which comes from fish, eggs, milk and sunlight exposure, is important in maintaining a healthy immune system, he said, but added: "Sunbathing does not kill the virus that causes COVID-19."
