A Goddess You Say

A goddess you say?
“Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising,
fair as the moon,
bright as the sun,
as terrible as an army set in full battle array?”
Song of Songs 6:10

BLESSED VIRGIN CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN
PRAY FOR US WHO HAVE RECOURSE TO
THEE
THIS IS NOT FANATICISM THIS IS THE TRUTH

AS SEEN BY CATHOLICS
And only one truth can exist in space and time….
A goddess you say?

As Psalm 147 clearly reveals: “The strength of the war horse means
nothing to Him, it is not infantry that interests Him. Yahweh is interested
only in those who fear Him, in those who rely on his love.” As the
Messiah Jesus Christ preached the concept of love for neighbour and
God, obedience to this instruction would have resulted in abundant peace.
However, humanity being weak natured discovered that war and conflict
were inevitable consequences of its sin. It is particularly important to note
that the God of the Jews, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and later
the God of the Christians, in particular the God of the Holy Roman
Catholic Church, is not a ‘Warmonger.’ The Lord does not demand war,
He is not Mars, He is a God of Peace, however, He is also a ‘Great
Deliverer’ and will deliver His own from their persecutors and the
persecuting nations by way of war if circumstances warrant this.
As the Christian writer C. S. Lewis once explained, apart from the Jews,
men in general knew only paganism so when the light of Christ’s gospel
was to be spread amongst the gentiles it appears, seemingly, that a
foundation was already laid down in the myths and legends of paganism.
This foundation, or shabby bed-rock, prepared for a true Religion, a true
Faith in other words for the Truth of the real Divinity of Jesus Christ and
of the Triune God, revealed as though such good news was concealed and
now came out in the open and revealed by the Creator, by God Himself.
Therefore, many pagan religions, Babylonian, Roman, Greek, Mayan,
borrowed Judaic/Hebrew elements or by chance absorbed elements which
Christianity could build upon. This could have happened by chance or by
Divine will, evidently for the sake of the people who would come to
understand and adopt Christianity as their own. This is possible for if
mankind is left isolated (such as the Inca, Maya, Aztec populations)
beliefs in forces of good and appeasement of evil developed naturally and
independently. Mankind seems always to gravitate towards the paradigm
of good vs evil even if isolated. Therefore, some truth and understanding
is developed by people who must build from scratch their lore, legend,
religion and beliefs even if left isolated from the rest of mankind. In
antiquity their occurred the emergence of the sun-god Ra by Pharoah
Akhenaten coincidentally in the times when the Jews where exiled in
Egypt. Was there any influence by Patriarch Joseph? The sun-god
became a sort of monotheistic one god religion contrasting greatly with
the diverse Egyptian deities and their pantheon. Once Akhenaten died,
the Egyptian priests who rather preferred a pantheon of gods and
goddesses, eradicated his monotheistic thought. However, the legends of
their deities have stories, which are shadows of Catholic teaching, such as
the story of Horus and his mother.
Moving further forward in history we can well mention the Roman god
chronos (god of time) whose emblem was Constantine’s Chi-Ro or XP,
which was adopted to represent Christ. So were other pagan Roman gods,
emblems and symbology adopted to represent Jesus Christ, such as the
Roman/Asian shepherd god Mithras. The early Christians also adopted
their names, such as Saint Venus and Saint Dionysius, this did not make
them pagan!
The three Magi, kings visiting the infant, were lucky to have preserved in
their lore the prophecies regarding a King who would be born when a
great Star was to appear. The Star of Bethlehem understood today as
being the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter representing a Holy High
Priest-King did appear. The three Magi followed it and presented the gifts
myrrh, gold and incense representing the Sacrifice, the Priest-hood and
Kingship, (in modern lore J.R.R. Tolkien hints to ‘Watch’ for the return
of the King.) The Magi were not Jews nor Christian but pagans who in
some manner, which eludes us still, were instructed in the Truth.
The Apostle Paul who set out to evangelise the pagans and the gentiles,
when evangelising the Greeks spoke regarding their ‘Unknown God’ to
whom an alter was dedicated. The Greeks had therefore dedicated an alter
to the unknown God whom Saint Paul compared or actually stated that
He was the True God, the Only One Triune God in existence without
beginning and without end.
Saul fell from his horse after being blinded by the sun out of which the
Lord’s voice was heard, and Constantine had a similar experience whilst
marching onto Rome. But why the sun? Most strikingly and
understandably so, is Jesus Christ compared with the light of the sun and
the sun itself, this is figurative. However, following the darkness of
paganism the sun and the light of the truth had to emerge, “What is the
truth?” enquired the pagan Pontius Pilate to Jesus Christ, the fact that the
Son of God had to suffer and die at the hands of men and resurrect on the
third day to redeem mankind was it. Christians do not adore the sun in as
much as they venerate the moon. The moon (and the morning star) reflect
the sun’s light, the representation of Our Lady. However, the light and the
darkness are mentioned many a time in the Old and New Testaments.
Again the sun and the moon had many ancient pagan deities ascribed to
them, this nonetheless does not mean that Christianity or Catholicism is a
pagan religion. The sun is again mentioned during the Czestochowa and
Fatima appearances, this now only symbolises the light which Christ
brings to the world. In Heaven or in the New Jerusalem and in the
Kingdom of God, as described in Revelation, there is no sun nor moon
for God, the Triune God, is the Light and the only Light. If allegory and
comparisons of the truth with the light of the sun and the moon is taken as
pagan then the Bible (both Old and New Testaments) should be thrown
away into the waste paper basket for such comparisons are done
frequently, and this even the Catholic hating Evangelicals cannot but
admit as truth. In Revelation the explanation and full meaning of the
morning star is given. It represents power and dominion and the
resurrection, it represents Jesus Christ.
The sun and the moon grow dark (Joel 2:10)
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the
glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. Revelation 21:23
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the
churches. I am the Root and the offspring of David, and the bright
Morning Star.” Revelation 22:16
Pope Benedict XVI as Cardinal Ratzinger had authored the book

“Daughter Zion – Meditations on the Church’s Marian Belief.” His
Holiness clearly distinguishes between the ancient pagan goddesses and
Our Lady. These pagan goddesses of fertility were the cause of many
sexual rituals amongst their followers whose following was mainly a
concern of their own fertility.
The Pope clearly states that whilst the pagans were fertile through
their prostitution, Our Lady and Christians are fruitful by virtue of
their celibacy and virginity. This fruitfulness is none other than
salvation or simply the achievement of eternal life. That is the true secret
of the path and the light, which illumes this path, our eternal life. The
sexual act in marriage is not the same act as outside of marriage; whilst
the physical attributes are similar, the spiritual is quite frankly at opposite
polar ends. One act profanes and defiles whilst the other sanctifies and
unifies. The Virginity, the Virgin Birth and Immaculate Conception were
reserved only for her and her Son.
In continuing with the theme on similarities and comparisons of ancient

deities and Christianity I can start by mentioning Astarte or Astaroth and
continue with Isis, Osiris and Horus, Hestia, Juno, Diana, Hecate,
Demeter, Kali, Inanna, Durga, Vesta, Rhea Silva, Sophia, Lilith,
Perseopherine, Maat, and other demons.
But first………
C.S. Lewis on Allegory and Lore
³I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing
that people often say about Him [Jesus Christ]: “I’m ready to accept Jesus
as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.”
That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and
said the sort of things Jesus said wouldnot be a great moral teacher. He
would either be a lunatic — on a level with a man who says he is a
poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is,the Son of God,:
or else a madman or something worse …. You can shut him up for fool,
you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and
call him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing
nonsense about his being a great humanteacher. He has not left that
option open to us. He did not intend to.²
– From Case for Christianity, by C.S. Lewis.
If Aslan represented the immaterial Deity in the same way in which Giant
Despair [a character in The Pilgrim's Progress] represents despair, he
would be an allegorical figure. In reality however he is an invention
giving an imaginary answer to the question, ‘What might Christ become
like, if there really were a world like Narnia and He chose to be incarnate
and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?’ This
is not allegory at all. (Martindale & Root 1990)
And the Evangelicals say….
Particularly http://www.cuttingedge.org/ and

http://www.texemarrs.com/
These so called Christians state that in Jeremiah 7:17-18 the Queen of

Heaven whom Catholics refer to as the Blessed Virgin is mentioned. And
again they say that she is mentioned in Jeremiah 44:25, however poor
Evangelicals and poor in culture and knowledge know not that this
reference is alluded to the Babylonian Queen goddess Astarte. Therefore
when they realised this they attempted to compare Astarte with the
Blessed Virgin stating that the Blessed Virgin is the re-incarnated demon
of Astarte. I would not call such names the holy spouse of the Holy Spirit
if I were them for foul froggy demons may appear in their dreams and
trouble them at night.
Nimrod and Semiramis believed in the Babylonian god Zero-Ashta who

as ‘the woman’s promised seed’ was destined in Babylonian myth to slay
or bruise the serpent’s head, and in so doing was to have his own heel
bruised. “The Two Babylons” by Alexander Hislop 1917, p. 58-59.
So what ??
Do these educated and Bible fearing Evangelicals therefore compare the

passages in Revelation 12 to a Babylonian myth and therefore in so doing
placing the Word of God on the level of a pagan myth, discrediting the
Bible?
The similarity does not prove that Our Lady is a demon but rather proves
that you ‘guys and gals’ are deceived and listen to the lies of demons.
Rather it is Freemasonry the Babylon mentioned in Revelation which also

alludes to the modern day Israel steeped in its atheist Zionism and
Kabbalistic occultic and New Age teachings. Freemasonry has revived all
the ancient gods and goddesses just to cause havoc amongst monotheists.
‘The Armageddon Script’ by Peter Lemesurier, elucidates on Mother

Earth worship, “….the Great Mother Earth herself, clad in the same
flowing robes of shimmering blue and white that had been those of
mother-goddesses of earth and sky taught man’s history – and not least
his most recent mother – goddess, the Virgin Mary herself…” (p. 245-6)
The New Age gods and goddesses are nothing but the same ancient and
modern day gods and goddesses of Freemasonry and other secret cults
and devil worshippers. The ancient Judaic colours used adorning the High
Priest were blue and white, however it is a blasphemous matter to
compare Salvation History and the Judaic colours with Mother Earth or
Gaia worship. Truly as everybody knows, the colours of planet Earth as
seen from space are indeed blue and white, Our Lady is also clothed with
such colours as in the apparitions of Lourdes and Fatima. However,
should straight reasoning in accordance with justice and truth deduce that
all that is associated with the colours blue and white is but paganism?
Then if the answer is in the affirmative so were the ancient High Priest
Judaic robes pagan. But who can state that such is so? A mere Bible
based Christian such as an Evangelical? Evangelicals who state such
nonsense are not Christian!!
In “Longing for Darkness”, New Age writer China Galland compares Our
Lady with the goddess Durga, the warrior queen also referred to as the
Queen of the Universe who could restore harmony. The writer compares
Our Lady with Kali-Kali who is dark or a black female goddess. Both
New Agers and Buddhists including (according to the author) the Dalai
Lama possibly view the Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, the Black
Madonna of Poland as Buddhist Rang-Jung or self-arising. This self-
arising reminds me of Adam and Eve who attempted to become gods and
reach ‘the god status’ (the Dalai Lama would say Nirvana) by their own
(and Lucifer’s) futile efforts.
But they are wrong!!!
Just because Our Lady appears black in certain Icons doesn’t make her
Durga, Kali-Kali or other pagan demons. Should Barack Obama be
compared to an African Voodoo priest for the sole reason that he is a
black man? To me this is an evident smear campaign against the Blessed
Virgin Mary.
1. Astarte or Astaroth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astarte
Astarte was connected with fertility, sexuality, and war. Her symbols
were the lion, the horse, the sphinx, the dove, and a star within a circle
indicating the planet Venus. Pictorial representations often show her
naked.
Astarte was accepted by the Greeks under the name of Aphrodite. The
island of Cyprus, one of Astarte’s greatest faith centers, supplied the
name Cypris as Aphrodite’s most common byname.
Other major centers of Astarte’s worship were Sidon, Tyre, and Byblos.
Coins from Sidon portray a chariot in which a globe appears, presumably
a stone representing Astarte. In Sidon, she shared a temple with Eshmun.
At Beirut coins show Poseidon, Astarte, and Eshmun worshipped
together.
Other faith centers were Cytherea, Malta, and Eryx in Sicily from which
she became known to the Romans as Venus Erycina. A bilingual
inscription on the Pyrgi Tablets dating to about 500 BC found near Caere
in Etruria equates Astarte with Etruscan Uni-Astre that is, Juno. At
Carthage Astarte was worshipped alongside the goddess Tanit.
Donald Harden in The Phoenicians discusses a statuette of Astarte from

Tutugi (Galera) near Granada in Spain dating to the 6th or 7th century BC
in which Astarte sits on a throne flanked by sphinxes holding a bowl
beneath her breasts which are pierced. A hollow in the statue would have
been filled with milk through the head and gentle heating would have
melted wax plugging the holes in her breasts, producing an apparent
miracle when the milk emerged.
The Syrian goddess Atargatis (Semitic form ‘Atar‘atah) was generally

equated with Astarte and the first element of the name appears to be
related to the name Astarte.
The Masoretic pointing in the Hebrew Tanach (bible) indicate the

pronunciation as ‘Aštōret instead of the expected ‘Ašteret, probably
because the two last syllables have here been pointed with the vowels
belonging to bōshet “abomination” to indicate that word should be
substituted when reading. The plural form is pointed ‘Aštārōt.
For what seems to be the use of the Hebrew plural form ‘Aštārōt as the
name of a demon, see also Astaroth.
Astarte, or Ashtoret in Hebrew, was the principal goddess of the

Phoenicians, representing the productive power of nature. She was a
lunar goddess and was adopted by the Egyptians as a daughter of Ra or
Ptah.
In Jewish mythology, She is referred to as Ashtoreth, supposedly

interpreted as a female demon of lust in Hebrew monotheism. The name
Asherah may also be confused with Ashtoreth, but is probably a different
Goddess.
In Judaized Christian demonology, Ashtoreth is connected to Friday, and

visually represented as a young woman with a cow’s horns on her head
(sometimes with a cow’s tail too), resembling Hathor.
Some sources claim that the Greek goddess Aphrodite (especially in her
aspect as Aphrodite Erycina) is another name for Astarte. Herodotus
wrote that the religious community of Aphrodite originated in Phoenicia
and came to Greeks from there. He also wrote about the world’s largest
temple of Aphrodite, in one of the Phoenician cities.
Her name is the second name in an energy chant sometimes used in

Wicca: “Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astaroth
In demonology Astaroth (also Ashtaroth, Astarot, and Asteroth) is a

Prince of Hell.
The similarities with the Blessed Virgin are the following:-
A – connection with war
B – one of her symbols is the lion
C – one of her symbols is the dove
D – the sphinx
E – represented by a star, Venus, the morning star
A – Our Lady is connected with war, however her power lies in the
intercession to protect and does not wage war. She is not a goddess of
war, she is not a goddess in the first place.
B – the symbol of the lion represents her Son. Solomon’s throne had
two lions on either side and twelve lions of gold before him.
C – the dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, she is His spouse
D – the Jews might have used cherubim similar to the sphinx within
the temple on either side of the arc of the covenant.
E – the morning star has represented many, Satan (Isaiah), Our

Lady (Litany of Loreto) and Jesus Christ (Revelation)
However, apart from these similarities Astarte was a goddess and a

myth. The rituals in her honour included temple prostitution and this
alone indicates that the Blessed Virgin has absolutely nothing to do
with such a myth.
Our Lady is not a goddess – she is the mother of Jesus Christ and
therefore of God. She intercedes for humanity, is present body and
soul in Heaven and therefore has qualities pertaining to Heaven and
not to Earth. She is not a goddess of war, but a mother who protects.

Isis, Osiris and Horus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horus
Sky god
Horus was told by his mother Isis to protect the people of Egypt from Set
the god of the underworld. Horus is the god of the sky, and the son of
Osiris. His mother is Isis.
Since he was god of the sky, Horus became depicted as a falcon, or as a

falcon-headed man, leading to Horus’ name, (in Egyptian, Heru), which
meant The distant one. Horus was also sometimes known as Nekheny
(meaning falcon), although it has been proposed that Nekheny may have
been another falcon-god, worshipped at Nekhen (city of the hawk), that
became identified as Horus very early on. In this form, he was sometimes
given the title Kemwer, meaning (the) great black (one). As Horus was
the son of Osiris, and god of the sky, he became closely associated with
the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt (where Horus was worshipped), and became
their patron. The association with the Pharaoh brought with it the idea
that he was the son of Isis, in her original form, who was regarded as a
deification of the Queen.
It was said that after the world was created, Horus landed on a perch,
known as the djeba, which literally translates as finger, in order to rest,
which consequently became considered sacred. On some occasions,
Horus was referred to as lord of the djeba (i.e. lord of the perch or lord of
the finger), a form in which he was especially worshipped at Buto, known
as Djebauti, meaning (ones) of the djeba (the reason for the plural is not
understood, and may just have been a result of Epenthesis, or Paragoge).
The form of Djebauti eventually became depicted as an heron,
nevertheless continuing to rest on the sacred perch.
Since Horus was said to be the sky, he was considered to also contain the
sun and moon. It became said that the sun was one of his eyes and the
moon the other, and that they traversed the sky when he, a falcon, flew
across it. Thus he became known as Harmerty – Horus of two eyes. Later,
the reason that the moon was not as bright as the sun was explained by a
tale, known as the contestings of Horus and Set, originating as a
metaphor for the conquest of Upper Egypt by Lower Egypt in about
3000BC. In this tale, it was said that Set, the patron of Upper Egypt, and
Horus, the patron of Lower Egypt, had battled for Egypt brutally, with
neither side victorious, until eventually the gods sided with Horus (see
below).
As Horus was the ultimate victor he became known as Harsiesis, Heru-ur

or Har-Wer (ḥr.w wr ‘Horus the Great’), but more usually translated as
Horus the Elder. In the struggle Set had lost a testicle, explaining why the
desert, which Set represented, is infertile. Horus’ left eye had also been
gouged out, which explained why the moon, which it represented, was so
weak compared to the sun. It was also said that during a new-moon,
Horus had become blinded and was titled Mekhenty-er-irty (mḫnty r
ỉr.ty ‘He who has no eyes’), while when the moon became visible again,
he was re-titled Khenty-irty (ḫnty r ỉr.ty ‘He who has eyes’). While
blind, it was considered that Horus was quite dangerous, sometimes
attacking his friends after mistaking them for enemies.
Horus was occasionally shown in art as a naked boy with a finger in his
mouth sitting on a lotus with his mother. In the form of a youth, Horus
was referred to as Neferhor. This is also spelled Nefer Hor, Nephoros or
Nopheros (nfr ḥr.w) meaning ‘The Good Horus’.
War god
Horus was also said to be a war god and a hunter’s god; since he was
associated with the falcon. Thus he became a symbol of majesty and
power as well as the model of the pharaohs.
Furthermore Nemty (also a war god meaning “He who travels”) was later
identified as Horus.
Conqueror of Set
After Set killed his brother, Osiris, Horus had many battles with Set, not
only to avenge his father, but to chose the rightful ruler of Egypt. One
scene stated how Horus was on the verge of killing Set; but his mother
(and Set’s sister), Isis, stopped him. Isis injured Horus, but eventually
healed him.
By the Nineteenth dynasty, the enmity between Set and Horus, in which
Horus had ripped off one of Set’s testicles, was represented as a separate
tale. According to Papyrus Chester-Beatty I, Set is depicted as trying to
prove his dominance by seducing Horus and then having intercourse with
him. However, Horus places his hand between his thighs and catches
Set’s semen, then subsequently throws it in the river, so that he may not
be said to have been inseminated by Set. Horus then deliberately spreads
his own semen on some lettuce, which was Set’s favorite food (the
Egyptians thought that lettuce was phallic). After Set has eaten the
lettuce, they go to the gods to try to settle the argument over the rule of
Egypt. The gods first listen to Set’s claim of dominance over Horus, and
call his semen forth, but it answers from the river, invalidating his claim.
Then, the gods listen to Horus’ claim of having dominated Set, and call
his semen forth, and it answers from inside Set.
This myth, along with others, could be seen as an explanation of how the
two kingdoms of Egypt (Upper and Lower) came to be united. Horus was
seen as the God of Lower Egypt, and Set as the God of Upper Egypt
(which happens to be _south_ of the upper Delta region). In this myth, the
respective Upper and Lower deities have a fight, through which Horus is
the victor. However, some of Horus (representing Lower Egypt) enters
into Set (Upper Egypt) thus explaining why Lower Egypt is dominant
over the Upper Egyptians. Set’s regions were then considered to be of the
desert.
But the battle wasn’t over yet, and the other gods were getting tired from
over eighty years of fighting and challenges. Horus and Set challenged
each other to a boat race, where they each raced in a boat made of stone.
Horus and Set agreed, and the race started. But Horus had a secret
weapon: his boat was made of wood, not stone. Set’s boat, being made of
heavy stone, sank, but Horus’s didn’t. Horus then won the race, and Set
stepped down and officially gave Horus the throne of Egypt. But after the
New Kingdom, Set still was considered Lord of the desert and its oases.
The similarities with the Blessed Virgin and Jesus Christ are the
following:-
A – Isis mothers her son Horus
B – connection with war
C – one of her symbols is the eagle and the falcon
D – the sphinx
A – Statues of Isis and Horus are said of being similar to later

Christian statues and paintings of Our Lady and Child Jesus
B – Our Lady is connected with war, however her power lies in the
C – the symbol of the eagle used often to represent Christianity and

the Word of God
D – the Jews might have used cherubim similar to the sphinx within
the temple on either side of the arc of the covenant.
Once again similarly with the case of Astarte, Isis, Osiris and Horus
are simply pagan myths. The rituals in their honour included temple
prostitution and this alone indicates that the Blessed Virgin has
absolutely nothing to do with such a myth. As Pope Benedict explains
clearly in his book “Daughter Zion” temple prostitution was a pagan
attribute due to the worry and apprehension of physical fertility.
Once Our Lady was Immaculately Conceived kept from every stain
of sin nobody can compare her with such a filthy image as of Isis.
Our Lady ensures our fruitfulness through our own sacrifices and
abstinence, while demons who play the role of Isis are only interested
in the profane sexual rituals which endure in the Black Mass and
Masonic Lodge which apparently is thought to lengthen life, bring
prosperity, ensure eternal life, a fake resurrection and victory over
Adonai by way of gaining an independent mortal life. All this is yet
but a lie set aflame by the scheming of he who calls himself prince of
this world.

Juno, Diana and Hecate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juno_(mythology)
Juno was the protector and special counselor of the Roman state. She is a
daughter of Saturn and sister (but also the wife) of the chief god Jupiter
and the mother of Juventas, Mars, and Vulcan. Her Greek equivalent is
Hera. As the patron goddess of Rome and the Roman empire she was
called Regina (”queen”) and, together with Jupiter and Minerva, was
worshipped as a triad on the Capitol (Juno Capitolina) in Rome. As the
Juno moneta (which either means “the one who warns” or “the one
unique” or “union unique”) she guarded over the finances of the empire
and had a temple on the Arx (one of two Capitoline hills), close to the
Royal Mint. She was also worshipped in many other cities, where temples
were built in her honor. Every year, on the first of March, women held a
festival in honor of Juno called the Matronalia . On this day, lambs and
other cattle were sacrificed in her honor. Another festival called the
Nonae Caprotinae (”The Nones of the Wild Fig”) was held on July 7.
Many people consider the month of June, which is named after the
goddess who is the patroness of marriage, to be the most favorable time
to marry. Lucina was an epithet for Juno as “she who brings children into
light.” Juno’s own warlike aspect among the Romans is apparent in her
attire. She often appeared armed and wearing a goatskin cloak, which was
the garment favoured by Roman soldiers on campaign. This warlike
aspect was assimilated from the Greek goddess Athena, whose goatskin
was called the ‘aegis.’
Juno is therefore a notorious prostitute and is connected with temple

prostitution. To discredit the Blessed Virgin some American
Evangelicals have gone to the lengths of associating her with the
following, this is the work of secret societies and not of Christians: -
http://www.samliquidation.com/moshiach.htm
From Jor’e D’eah (Yurah daah) Babylonian Oral Talmudic Law,

commentary.
rabbi, R. Jacob Be-Rab, asserts “that it unlawful to draw a Gentile

out of a well into which he may have fallen. He also declares that
the scrupulous Jewish Physician who thoroughly conforms to
Talmudic Law will not attend a Gentile without honorarium,
because this will be his sole reward. He may do so Gratuitously, if
he wishes to study medicine by that means; but he should usually
kill such patients whilst pretending to cure them. This however,
must be attempted only when there is no chance of detection.”
• Balaam [Jesus] fornicated with his jackass. (Sanhedrin

105a-b)2
• Jewish priests raised Balaam [Jesus] from the dead and

punished him in boiling hot semen.(57a Gittin)3
• She who was the descendant of princes and governors

[The Virgin Mary] played the harlot with a carpenter
(Sanhedrin 106a)4
• [Jesus] was lowered into a pit of dung up to his armpits.

Then a hard cloth was placed within a soft one, wound round
his neck, and the tow ends pulled in opposite directions until
he was dead. (Sanhedrin 52b)5 Also, says they gave him four
different executions in Sanhedrin 106a.6
• Hast thou heard how old Balaam [Jesus] was?”…bloody

(Shabbath 116a)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_(mythology)
Diana was the hunting goddess, associated with wild animals and woodlands. She
also later became a moon goddess, supplanting Luna, and was an emblem of chastity.
Oak groves were especially sacred to her. She was praised in poetry for her strength,
athletic grace, distinct beauty and hunting skill. In practice she made up a trinity with
two other Roman deities: Egeria the water nymph, her servant and assistant midwife;
and Virbius, the woodland god. In her etymology, “Diana” is simply :”the Goddess”,
with a Greek parallel in the name — though not the cult practice — of Dione at
Dodona. She was goddess of fertility and quick to anger.
Diana was worshipped at a festival on August 13, when King Servius

Tullius, himself born a slave, dedicated her shrine on the Aventine Hill in
the mid-sixth century BCE. Being placed on the Aventine, and thus
outside the pomerium, meant that Diana’s cult essentially remained a
‘foreign’ one, like that of Bacchus; she was never officially ‘transferred’
to Rome as Juno was after the sack of Veii. It seems that her cult
originated in Aricia, where her priest, the Rex Nemorensis remained.
There the simple open-air fane was held in common by the Latin tribes,
which Rome aspired to weld into a league and direct. Diana of the wood
was soon thoroughly Hellenized, “a process which culminated with the
appearance of Diana beside Apollo in the first lectisternium at Rome”.
Diana was regarded with great reverence by lower-class citizens and
slaves; slaves could receive asylum in her temples.
Though some Roman patrons ordered marble replicas of the specifically

Anatolian “Diana” of Ephesus, where the Temple of Artemis stood,
Diana was usually depicted for educated Romans in her Greek guise. If
she is accompanied by a deer, as in the Diana of Versailles (illustration,
above right) this is because Diana was the patroness of hunting. The deer
may also offer a covert reference to the myth of Acteon (or Actaeon),
who saw her bathing naked. Diana transformed Acteon into a stag and set
his own hunting dogs to kill him.
Worship of Diana is mentioned in the Bible. In Acts of the Apostles,

Ephesian metalsmiths who felt threatened by Saint Paul’s preaching
of Christianity, jealously rioted in her defense, shouting “Great is
Diana of the Ephesians!” (Acts 19:28, New English Bible).
Diana is therefore associated with Chastity and the Moon just like
Our Lady, however this does not make Our Lady a pagan goddess.
She still remains the Mother of God.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hecate
Hecate (Greek: Ἑκάτη, “far-shooting” ) Hekate (Hekátê, Hekátē), or

Hekat was originally a goddess of the wilderness and childbirth,
naturalized early in Mycenaean Greece or in Thrace, but originating
among the Carians of Anatolia, the region where most theophoric names
invoking Hecate, such as Hecataeus or Hecatomnus, progenitor of
Mausollus, are attested, and where Hekate remained a Great goddess into
historical times, at her unrivalled cult site in Lagina. William Berg
observes, “Since children are not called after spooks, it is safe to assume
that Carian theophoric names involving hekat- refer to a major deity free
from the dark and unsavoury ties to the underworld and to witchcraft held
by the Hecate of classical Athens.”The monuments to Hekate in Phrygia
and Caria are numerous but of late date. Popular cults venerating her as a
mother goddess integrated her persona into Greek culture as Ἑκάτη. In
Ptolemaic Alexandria she ultimately achieved her connotations as a
goddess of sorcery and her role as the “Queen of Ghosts”, in which
triplicate guise she was transmitted to post-Renaissance culture. Today
she is a goddess of witches and Hellenic Polytheistic Reconstructionism.
Some neo-pagans erroneously refer to her as a ‘crone goddess’ which is
incorrect with her original virginal image in ancient Greece.
One aspect of Hecate is represented in the Roman Trivia. The earliest

inscription is found in late archaic Miletus, close to Caria, where Hecate
is a protector of entrances.
Our Lady is not a goddess of witchcraft, as the enemies of the True

Christian Faith seem to purport. These heretics who call themselves
Christians and slander the name of Our Lady are just thralls in the
hands of secret societies who well know who their enemy is.

Demeter, Kali, Inanna and Durga.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demeter
In Greek mythology Demeter (pronounced /dɨˈmiːtɚ/; Greek: Δημήτηρ,

possibly “distribution-mother” from the noun of the Indo-European
mother-earth *dheghom *mater, also called simply Δηώ) is the goddess
of grain and fertility, the pure. Nourisher of the youth and the green earth,
the health-giving cycle of life and death, and preserver of marriage and
the sacred law. She is invoked as the “bringer of seasons” in the Homeric
hymn, a subtle sign that she was worshipped long before she was made
one of the Olympians. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter has been dated to
about the seventh century BC. She and her daughter Persephone were the
central figures of the Eleusinian Mysteries that also predated the
Olympian pantheon.
Her Roman equivalent is Ceres, from whom the word “cereal” is derived.
Demeter is easily confused with Gaia or Rhea, and with Cybele. The
goddess’s epithets reveal the span of her functions in Greek life. Demeter
and Kore (”the maiden”) are usually invoked as to theo (’”The Two
Goddesses”), and they appear in that form in Linear B graffiti at
Mycenaean Pylos in pre-classical times. A connection with the goddess-
cults of Minoan Crete is quite possible.
According to the Athenian rhetorician Isocrates, the greatest gifts which

Demeter gave were cereal (also known as corn in modern Britain), which
made man different from wild animals; and the Mysteries which give
man higher hopes in this life and the afterlife.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali
Kali, also known as Kalika (Bengali:, Kālī / Kālīkā ; Sanskrit , is a

Hindu goddess associated with death and destruction. Despite her
negative connotations, she is not actually the goddess of death, but rather
of Time and Change. Although sometimes presented as black and violent,
her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation still has some influence.
More complex Tantric beliefs sometimes extend her role so far as to be
the “Ultimate Reality” or Brahman. She is also revered as Bhavatarini
(lit. “redeemer of the universe”). Comparatively recent devotional
movements largely conceive Kali as a benevolent mother-goddess.
Kali is represented as the consort of god Shiva, on whose body she is

often seen standing. She is associated with many other Hindu goddesses
like Durga, Bhadrakali, Sati, Rudrani, Parvati and Chamunda. She is the
foremost among the Dasa-Mahavidyas, ten fierce Tantric goddesses.
Kali goddess of tantra therefore of temple prostitution. Again the
enemies of Christianity liken the Mother of God with Kali with the
pretext that New Age writers identify Our Lady of Czestochowa with
Kali, for both are black. Therefore, I liken Oprah, the American t.v.
program host, with Kali for she is also Black. Dear Evangelicals
reconsider your associations with Masonry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna
Inanna (INANNa ) is the Sumerian goddess of sexual love, fertility, and

warfare. Alternative Sumerian names include Innin, Ennin, Ninnin, Ninni,
Ninanna, Innina, Ennina, Irnina, Innini, Nana and Nin, commonly
derived from an earlier Nin-ana “lady of the sky”, although Gelb (1960)
presented the suggestion that the oldest form is Innin (INNIN) and that
Ninni, Nin-anna and Irnina are independent goddesses in origin. Her
Akkadian name is Ishtar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durga
In Hinduism, Durga (Sanskrit: “the inaccessible” or “the invincible”) or

Maa Durga (Mother Durga) is a form of Devi, the supreme goddess.
Goddess Durga is considered by Hindus to be the mother of Ganesha, and
Kartikeya. She is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of
Shiva’s wife, goddess Parvati.
Durga is depicted as a warrior aspect of Devi Parvati with 10 arms who

rides a lion or a tiger, carries weapons and assumes mudras, or symbolic
hand gestures. This form of the Goddess is the embodiment of feminine
and creative energy (Shakti).
Both Innana and Durga are warriors and fight demons however both
encourage temple prostitution.
Our Lady (the Immaculately Conceived) is not a goddess – she is the

mother of Jesus Christ and therefore of God. She intercedes for
humanity, is present body and soul in Heaven and therefore has
qualities pertaining to Heaven and not to Earth. She is not a goddess
of war, but a mother who protects.

Sophia, Lilith, Persephone and Maat.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_%28wisdom%29
Sophia is adopted as the term in the Septuagint for Hebrew ‫חכמות‬

Ḥokmot.
In Judaism, Chokhmah appears alongside the Shekinah, ‘the Glory of

God’, a figure who plays a key role in the cosmology of the Kabbalists as
an expression of the feminine aspect of God. It is a central topic in the
“sapiential” books (i.e., the eponymous Book of Wisdom as well as
Ecclesiastes and Proverbs). A key passage which personifies
Wisdom/Sophia in the Hebrew Bible is Proverbs 8:22-31.
Paul also refers to the concept, notably in 1 Corinthians, but obscurely,

deconstructing worldly wisdom:
“Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of

this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?”
(1 Corinthians 1:20)
Paul sets worldly wisdom against a higher wisdom of God:
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden

wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” (1
Corinthians 2:7)
Kabbalists are not Jews, they belong to the synagogue of Satan as

mentioned in Revelation. The Blessed Virgin has absolutely nothing
to do with Sophia save the image of wisdom for she is the holy spouse
of the Holy Spirit, wisdom Itself.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith
Lilith (Hebrew ‫ )לילית‬is a mythological female Mesopotamian storm
demon associated with wind and was thought to be a bearer of disease,
illness, and death. The figure of Lilith first appeared in a class of wind
and storm demons or spirits as Lilitu, in Sumer, circa 4000 BC. Many
scholars place the origin of the phonetic name “Lilith” at somewhere
around 700 BC despite post-dating even the time of Moses. Lilith appears
as a night demon in Jewish lore and as a screech owl in the King James
version of the Bible.
Lilith is a demon who supposedly seduced Adam in the garden of

Eden. She is a whore a prostitute a perverted female demon, and
unlike the Blessed Virgin (the Immaculately Conceived) Lilith does
not stamp out the serpent but she fornicates with it. Therefore the
comparison with the Blessed Virgin is also here ridiculous to say the
least!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persephone
In Greek mythology, Persephone (Kore or Cora) was the embodiment

of the Earth’s fertility at the same time that she was the Queen of the
Underworld, the korē (or young maiden), and the parthenogenic daughter
of Demeter—and, in later Classical myths, a daughter of Demeter and
Zeus. In the Olympian version she also becomes the consort of Hades
when he becomes the deity that governs the underworld. The figure of
Persephone is well-known today. Her story has great emotional power: an
innocent maiden, a mother’s grief over her abduction, and subsequent joy
after the return of her daughter. It is also cited frequently as a paradigm of
myths that explain natural processes, with the descent and return of the
goddess bringing about the change of seasons. In Greek art, Persephone is
invariably portrayed robed. She may be carrying a sheaf of grain and
smiling demurely with the “Archaic smile” of the Kore of Antenor.
Mother Earth and the underworld have nothing to do with the

Blessed Virgin for she shows the way to her Son, she is the
Hodegitria, she removes us from the path to hell.
Maat or Mayet, thought to have been pronounced as *Muʔʕat (Muh-aht), was

the Ancient Egyptian concept of truth, order—law, morality, and justice
sometimes personified as a goddess. Ma’at was seen as being in charge
with regulating the stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the
deities, after she had set the order of the universe from chaos at the
moment of creation. Later, as a goddess in other traditions of the
Egyptian pantheon, where most goddesses were paired with a male
aspect, her masculine counterpart was Thoth and their attributes are the
same. Like Thoth, she was seen to represent the Logos of Plato. After the
rise of Ra they were depicted as guiding his Solar Barque, one on either
side. After her role in creation and continuously preventing the universe
from returning to chaos, her primary role in Egyptian mythology dealt
with the weighing of souls that took place in the underworld, Duat. Her
feather was the measure that determined whether the souls (considered to
reside in the heart) of the departed would reach the paradise of afterlife
successfully.
Fanciful myth. Any comparisons with the Blessed Virgin start and
finish with the elements of morality, truth, order and justice.
Lawyers should pray the Holy Rosary too if they want to follow these
virtues.

The goddess Quetzacoatl in Mexico City
At the center of the city, at the summit of a pyramid 150 feet high, Cortes
insisted on the removal of the Aztec idols and installed a cross and an
image of the Virgin Mary. Eventually, the natives attempted to remove
the image, however their attempts proved useless as the image resisted
and refused to be removed. A battle ensued and according to the Indios,
“…the woman of the altar”(1) cast powder and hail in their eyes and
blinded many, while Saint James of Compostella appeared astride a white
horse, both the steed and rider killed numerous Indios. The Aztecs
claimed that, had Saint James and the Virgin not frightened them, the
Spanish would have been cooked and eaten with chocolate. The Spanish
thanked ‘Our Lady of the Snows,’ (Feast August 5), for having delivered
them from the cannibalistic and chocolate eating Aztecs. The chocolate
was consumed together with honey and amaranth during their pagan and
magic rituals, practises which were later outlawed. However, an ancient
prophecy of the Aztec civilization was regarding the return of the goddess
Quetzacoatl, they had to respond and free themselves from her by
performing magic rituals and repel the aggressors with showers of
chocolate. The Blessed Virgin might have been mistaken for their
Quetzacoatl. The Virgin who stamps out the snake underfoot shot
water/snow/hail chrystals at them. Saint John the Baptist baptized with
water. The Church today baptizes with water and the Holy Spirit to
cleanse the child (neophyte) of Original sin. The fact that Our Lady, the
Spouse of the Holy Spirit, guided Colombus through arduous adventures
for the sake and salvation of the Indios, this mission to the Americas was
a ‘baptizing’ mission. The dynamics of God’s Mercy and Justice which
were manifest in Tenochtitlan can be studied. Our Lady symbolized the
arrival of Christianity, of the christening with water and the Holy Spirit,
manifest by God’s Mercy in baptism and God’s Justice in Our Lady’s
supernatural attack. Our Lady of the Snows is radiant and pure, reflecting
the Sun’s rays or God’s power.
The cult of the indigenous snake deity, Tonantzin, was held on

Tepeyac Hill and hundreds, if not thousands, of human sacrifices were
offered to the pagan god. The Aztec priest would slit open the chest of the
victim and pluck out the warm, still beating heart. The Blessed Virgin,
who is referred as being the woman who crushes or stamps out the
serpent (Genesis 3:15 and Revelation 12), was factually enacting the
prefigurative biblical images. At Tepeyac, the feathered stone serpent god
Quetzalcoatl was worshipped together with Tonantzin, the gods of human
blood sacrifice and satanic macumba magic. Our Lady’s apparition
caused the greatest mass conversion to Catholicism in history, as in the
years 1531 to 1538, eight million conversions occurred. Mankind’s true
Heavenly Queen Mother was victorious and at Tepeyac, crushed the
serpent’s head. This apparition ended completely any desires, on the part
of the natives, to re-enact the bloody human sacrifice, which was
routinely carried out. The heavenly apparition prevented Indian
insurrections in sixteenth century Mexico from taking place. Juan Diego
was the instrument and Our Lady the converting power of the Mexican
people. Previous to the mass tribal conversions these natives offered
anually 20,000 people to their serpent god Quetzalcoatl. The Aztec word
‘coatlaxopeuh’ pronounced as ‘te quatlasupe’ incredibly resembles the
Spanish word ‘Guadalupe,’ the former means ‘the stamping out or the
crushing of the stone serpent.’ The Aztecs interpreted Our Lady in the
Guadalupe Image, as a goddess who would crush their feathered serpent-
god Quetzalcoatl, truly exposing the primordial serpent as Lucifer and
revealing in fact the age old struggle between the Dragon and the
Woman. Our Lady saved the lives and souls of countless Aztecs from the
tenebrous clutches of the ancient serpent, Lucifer. Ever since these events
transpired she has remained the pride and joy of this people. Obviously,
the view that she was a ‘goddess’ was initially necessary, in what other
way could such natives describe the supernatural. Today the Mexican
people are well aware that she is only our Mother and worship belongs
solely to God.
The text specifically shows evidence of a connection between the serpent

of the Maya and Aztec people with the Dragon as mentioned in the Bible
(Rev), which represents Satan. Here again Our Lady intervenes to stamp
out the profane, the human sacrifice and the spilled blood of the innocent
to the sun-god and snake as was already done in antiquity by Adonai in
regards to Moloch/Baal.
Moloch (Ja bal li int)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moloch
Moloch, Molech, Molekh, or Molek, representing Hebrew ‫ מלך‬mlk,

(translated directly into king) is either the name of a god or the name of a
particular kind of sacrifice associated with fire. Moloch was historically
affiliated with cultures throughout the Middle East, including but not
limited to the Jewish, Egyptian, Canaanite, Phoenician and related
cultures in North Africa and the Levant.
In modern English usage, “Moloch” can refer derivatively to any person

or thing which demands or requires costly sacrifices. Moloch went by
many names including, but not limited to, Ba’al, Moloch, Apis Bull,
Golden Calf, Chemosh, as well as many other names, and was widely
worshipped in the Middle East and wherever Punic culture extended
(including, but not limited to, the Ammonites, Edomites and the
Moabites). Baal Moloch was conceived under the form of a calf or an ox
or depicted as a man with the head of a bull. Hadad, Baal or simply the
King identified the god within his cult. The name Moloch is the name he
was known by among his worshippers, but is a Hebrew translation. (MLK
has been found on stele at the infant necropolis in Carthage.) The written
form Μολώχ Moloch (in the Septuagint Greek translation of the Old
Testament), or Molech (Hebrew), is the word Melech or king,
transformed by interposing the vowels of bosheth or ’shameful thing’.
He is sometimes also called Milcom in the Old Testament (1 Kings 11:5,

1 Kings 11:33, 2 Kings 23:13 and Zephaniah 1:5)
The 12th century rabbi Rashi, commenting on Jeremiah 7:31 stated:
Tophet is Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated

him from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out,
and made hot, they put the child between his hands, and it
was burnt; when it vehemently cried out; but the priests beat
a drum, that the father might not hear the voice of his son,
and his heart might not be moved.
A different rabbinical tradition says that the idol was hollow and was
divided into seven compartments, in one of which they put flour, in the
second turtle-doves, in the third a ewe, in the fourth a ram, in the fifth a
calf, in the sixth an ox, and in the seventh a child, which were all burned
together by heating the statue inside.

Moloch in Paradise Lost

Milton writes of him in Paradise Lost
“First, Moloch, horrid King, besmeared with blood

Of human sacrifice, and parents’ tears;
Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud,
Their children’s cries unheard that passed through fire
To his grim idol. Him the Ammonite
Worshiped in Rabba and her watery plain,
In Argob and in Basan, to the stream
Of utmost Arnon. Nor content with such
Audacious neighbourhood, the wisest heart
Of Solomon he led by fraud to build
His temple right against the temple of God
On that opprobrious hill, and made his grove
The pleasant valley of Hinnom, Tophet thence
And black Gehenna called, the type of Hell.”
- Paradise Lost, i. 391-405

Hestia, Vesta and Rhea Silva
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hestia
In Greek mythology, virginal Hestia, (Roman name, Vesta) daughter of

Cronus and Rhea, (ancient Greek Ἑστία) is the goddess of the hearth, of
the right ordering of domesticity and the family, who received the first
offering at every sacrifice in the household. In the public domain, the
hearth of the prytaneum functioned as her official sanctuary. With the
establishment of a new colony, flame from Hestia’s public hearth would
be carried to the new settlement. In Roman mythology her more civic
approximate equivalent was Vesta, who personified the public hearth, and
whose cult round the ever-burning hearth bound Romans together in the
form of an extended family. The similarity of names, apparently, is
misleading: “The relationship hestia-histie – Vesta cannot be explained in
terms of Indo-European linguistics; borrowings from a third language
must also be involved,” Walter Burkert has written At a very deep level
her name means “home and hearth”: the household and its inhabitants.
“An early form of the temple is the hearth house; the early temples at
Dreros and Prinias on Crete are of this type as indeed is the temple of
Apollo at Delphi which always had its inner hestia” (Burkert p 61). It will
be recalled that among classical Greeks the altar was always in the open
air with no roof but the sky, and that the oracle at Delphi was the shrine
of the Goddess before it was assumed by Apollo. The Mycenaean great
hall, such as the hall of Odysseus at Ithaca was a megaron, with a central
hearthfire. The hearth fire of a Greek or a Roman household was not
allowed to go out, unless it was ritually extinguished and ritually
renewed, accompanied by impressive rituals of completion, purification
and renewal. Compare the rituals and connotations of an eternal flame
and of sanctuary lamps. At the more developed level of the polis, Hestia
symbolizes the alliance between the colonies and their mother cities.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesta_%28mythology%29
Vesta was the virgin goddess of the hearth, home, and family in Roman
mythology. Although she is often mistaken as analogous to Hestia in
Greek mythology; she had a large, albeit mysterious role in Roman
religion long before she appeared in Greece. Vesta was much more
important to the Romans than Hestia was to the Greeks. Little is known
about the goddess, as unlike other Roman deities, she had no distinct
personality, was never depicted and went without mention in myths.
Vesta’s presence was symbolized by the sacred fire that burned at her
hearth and temples. Vesta’s (in some versions she is called Vestia) fire
was guarded at her Temples by her priestesses, the Vestales. Every March
1 the fire was renewed. It burned until 391, when the Emperor
Theodosius I forbade public pagan worship. One of the Vestales
mentioned in mythology was Rhea Silvia, who with the God Mars
conceived Romulus and Remus (see founding of Rome). The Vestales
were one of the few full time clergy positions in Roman religion. They
were drawn from the patrician class and had to observe absolute chastity
for 30 years. It was from this that the Vestales were named the Vestal
virgins. They could not show excessive care of their person, and they
must not let the fire go out. The Vestal Virgins lived together in a house
near the Forum (Atrium Vestae), supervised by the Pontifex Maximus. On
becoming a priestess, a Vestal Virgin was legally emancipated from her
father’s authority and swore a vow of chastity for 30 years. This vow was
so sacred that if it were broken, the Vestal was buried alive in the
Campus Sceleris (’Field of Wickedness’). It is likely that this is what
happened to Rhea Silvia. They were also very independent and had many
privileges that normal women did not have. They could move around the
city but had to be in a carriage. Vesta is also known as honoring God in
Greek mythology. Vesta was celebrated at the Vestalia which took place
from June 7 to June 15. On the first day of the festivities the penus Vestae
(the curtained sanctum sanctorum of her temple) was opened, for the only
time during the year, for women to offer sacrifices in. Such sacrifices
included the removal of an unborn calf from a pregnant cow. Vesta was
the goddess of the hearth at the centre of atrium and home. It was in the
house and home that Vesta was most important as she was the goddess of
the hearth and of fire. Vesta was particularly important to women of the
household as the hearth was the place where food was prepared and next
to it the meal was eaten with offerings being thrown into the fire to seek
omens (the future) from the way it burned. Her weakness was that she
couldn’t fall in love.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhea_Silvia
Rhea Silvia (also written as Rea Silvia), and also known as Ilia, was the
mythical mother of the twins Romulus and Remus, who founded the city
of Rome. Her story is told in the Ab Urbe Condita of Livy. According to
the legend, she was the daughter of Numitor, king of Alba Longa and
descendant of Aeneas. Numitor’s brother Amulius seized the throne and
killed Numitor’s son. Amulius forced Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal
Virgin, a priestess to the goddess Vesta, so that she (and through her,
Numitor) would have no heirs; Vestal Virgins were sworn to celibacy for
a period of thirty years. The god Mars, however, came upon Rhea Silvia
and raped her in the forest, thereby conceiving the twins. When Amulius
learned of this, he ordered Rhea Silvia buried alive and ordered a servant
to kill the twins, but the merciful servant instead set them adrift in the
river Tiber. The river-god, Tiberinus found the twins and gave them to a
she-wolf, Lupa, who had just lost her own cubs, to suckle. Subsequently,
Tiberinus rescued and married Rhea Silvia. Romulus and Remus went on
to found Rome and overthrow Amulius, reinstating Numitor as King of
Alba Longa. Livy presents a somewhat rationalised version of this tale. In
Ab Urbe Condita, the Tiber had overflown and the soldiers were ordered
to expose the babies to the Tiber, thinking that the muddy flooded ground
would be sufficient to drown the twins. Livy also casts doubt on whether
the twins were actually suckled by a wolf. Livy commented that it was
believed that the wife of the shepherd who would eventually raise the
twins was a prostitute known to the other shepherds as the Wolf. That
Livy’s euhemerist and realist deflation of this myth that was central to the
origins of Rome was not general, is demonstrated by the recurrence of the
theme of Mars discovering Rhea Silvia in Roman arts: the Latinists’
“Invention of Rhea Silvia” appears in bas-relief on the Casali Altar
(Vatican Museums), in engraved couched glass on the Portland Vase
(British Museum) or on a sarcophagus in the Palazzo Mattei. In a version
presented by Ovid, it is the river Anio that takes pity on her and invites
her to rule in his realm.
Ancient Rome and its mythological birth was begotten by the most
abominable of unions. A virgin, Rhea Silva, sworn to celibacy, a
priestess of the goddess Vesta was raped by Mars the god of war. The
fruit of this union, Romelus and Remus, the offspring, battled each
other and as Cain killed Abel, Romulus murdered Remus for power
and dominion over Rome. The antichristian spirit waged against the
early Christians comes by no surprise when considering such a
mythological backdrop. However, also does this myth contain
similarities to what the Triune God prepared for the world and its
redemption.
In its factual birth the Kingdom of Heaven was begotten by the
singular holiest union ever. A virgin Immaculately Conceived gave
birth to the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit or God Himself.
The Kingdom of Heaven is truly not of this Earth.
The similarities with the Blessed Virgin and Jesus Christ are the
following:-
A – Hestia and Vesta are the centre of the family and represent the
fire or the heart
B – Rhea Silva is a priestess and a virgin
C- A union occurs with the divine
D – gives birth to a kingdom
E – connection with war
A – if allowed the Blessed Virgin becomes the heart of the family and

D – The Virgin Birth gives to the world its Redeemer and Saviour the
Priest-King of the Christians and of the future New Jerusalem
E – Our Lady is connected with war, however her power lies in the
When Evangelicals speak of saints or of the Church victorious they
do not understand the qualities pertaining to the people who dwell
already in heaven. Jesus paid the full price and is the only mediator
between God and man, however He is God Himself. The many secret
societies ever endeavour to darken the above-mentioned Truth. They
believe that they hold the secret to eternal life – the lie of the angel of
light, the prince of this world and believed by Adam and Eve. In
antiquity the Church was Israel but when Israel did not recognise the
light, which came in the world, the Church became the faithful
gentiles, the Roman Catholic Church. If the State of Israel this day
likens itself with the Woman as mentioned in the Bible it is a
delusion. American Evangelicals who have strong bonds with the
State of Israel cannot believe that the Woman as mentioned in
Revelation 12 is Israel for so will they be deluded. This might be a
stumbling block for them to come to understand who the Woman
really is. One question is posed; “What does it take for a mother to
intervene before her Son, when her Son is God Himself?” The
answer is our prayer, for when we pray the Holy Rosary we ask Our
Lady to pray to her Son for us. Lest we forget the angelic salutation
in the Bible confirming that all grace passes from God to us through
her. Evangelicals you can tear your clothes such as the High Priest
Annas and Kaiphas did before Christ but you can change nothing of
the Truth. Do not be found calling God a liar!!

Luke
Both the Catholic Church and Our Lady are identified with the
‘Woman’ of Genesis 3:15, whom God said would be the perpetual
enemy of the Devil: “I will make you enemies of each other: you (the
‘Serpent’) and the woman, your offspring and her offspring. It will
crush your head and you will strike its heel.” Saint Bernard of
Clairveaux explains that Mary, the image and model of the Church,
already enjoys that victory by virtue of her Immaculate Conception,
therefore, she is most evidently identified to the ‘Woman’ of Genesis
3:15 and of Revelation 12. In two occasions in the New Testament the
Messiah addresses her as ‘Woman.’ In John 2:4 “Jesus said,
‘Woman, why turn to me? My hour has not come yet.’” Our Lady
intercedes for mankind before her Son Jesus Christ. If Our Lord
favored her intercession previous to ‘his hour,’ how much more does
He favor her intercession following his sacrifice upon the cross, his
Resurrection, Ascension and Our Lady’s Assumption of body and
soul into heaven and coronation as ‘Queen of Heaven and Earth’?
John 19:26 reveals that while crucified, the Messiah presented the
Blessed Virgin to the disciple: “Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman,
this is your son.’ Then to the disciple He said, ‘This is your mother.’”
Our Lord entrusts all mankind in the care of the ‘Woman’ and we in
turn, receive her as our mother, or at least we should receive her as
such. “By her maternal charity, Mary cares for the brethren of her
Son who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and
difficulties, until they are led to their happy fatherland. Therefore,
the Blessed Virgin is invoked by the Church under the titles of
Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix, and Mediatrix. These, however, are
to be so understood that they neither take away from nor add
anything to the dignity and efficacy of Christ the one Mediator…. In
the bodily and spiritual glory which she possesses in heaven, the
Mother of Jesus continues in this present world as the image and first
flowering of the Church as she is to be perfected in the world to
come. Likewise Mary shines forth on earth, until the day of the Lord
shall come, as a sign of sure hope and solace for the pilgrim People of
God.”(2)
By the power the Father bestowed upon the Blessed Virgin, she
is triumphant over Satan. Revelation chapter 12 reveals Creation’s
primeval and present conflict: “Now a great sign appeared in
heaven: a woman, adorned with the sun, standing on the moon, and
with twelve stars on her head for a crown. She was pregnant, and in
labor, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign
appeared in the sky, a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten
horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail
dragged a third of the stars from the sky…. The woman brought a
male child into the world, the son who was to rule all the nations with
an iron scepter… And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael
with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his
angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven. The great
dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had
deceived the entire world, was hurled down to the earth and his
angels were hurled down with him…. As soon as the devil found
himself thrown down to the earth, he sprang in pursuit of the
woman, the mother of the male child, but she was given a huge pair
of eagle’s wings to fly away from the serpent into the desert, to the
place where she was to be looked after for a year and twice a year
and half a year… Then the dragon was enraged with the woman and
went away to make war on the rest of her children, that is, all who
obey God’s commandments and bear witness for Jesus.” It is by no
coincidence that the Marian title ‘Terror of Demons,’ is one of the
images applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Humanity’s Mother and
Queen, is brilliantly set in Heaven and on Earth, her Immaculate
sinless glory abusively terrifies the demonic forces. Therefore, rightly
does the Roman Catholic Church attribute this title to the Blessed
Virgin, who is terrible as an army set in full battle array. The
‘Shulamite Woman’ in the Old Testament Book, Song of Songs 6:10,
is indeed the ‘Woman’ of Revelation 12.
“Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising,

fair as the moon,
bright as the sun,
as terrible as an army set in full battle array?”
Revelation 12, highlights the heavenly struggle between Saint

Michael (Hebrew ‘Mi-Cha-el’ or ‘Who Is Like Unto God?’) and the
Dragon who affirms his maxim: ‘I Shall Not Serve (the Son of God
made man).’ Michael the Archangel, bravely and courageously rose
to do battle against the Cherubim Lucifer, opposed the Dragon’s
rebellious and disobedient will, humbled himself before God to serve
Him and serve God’s Son, who would in the future be both God and
man. Saint Michael did not consider Lucifer at par with the Holy
Trinity and by his statement indicated his servitude and allegiance to
the future God-Man, for he knew that Jesus Christ was like unto God
and God Himself. As described in Revelation Jesus Christ was the
only one in heaven who was found worthy to break the seven seals! In
Daniel 12, the angelic apparition revealed details regarding the
future apocalyptic times: “At that time Michael will stand up, the
great prince who mounts guard over your people.” Michael is the
protector of the Holy Eucharist.
Throughout the ages, these principalities and powers have

ravaged mankind, caught up in the war between the ‘Woman’ and
the ‘Dragon/Devil.’ Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in his ‘De Laude
Novae Militiae’ postulated, that in times when Christianity is in
danger by way of war and conflict, the faithful fights a double-edged
war against the enemy of his soul and of his flesh. The ‘Woman’ has
been ever ready to help her children, rescuing them both from the
dangers of the soul and the dangers, which place the body in peril in
times of war and conflict. The following chapters are extensive
enough in revealing many miraculous favors mediated by the Mother
of God during such times. The ‘Woman’ has according to God’s
heavenly plan, changed and re-directed the historical course of
human events. A series of conversions, beginning with the work of
evangelization by the twelve apostles and spreading throughout the
whole world. Evidently, the ‘Woman’ supports this plan of salvation.
She offers her children continuous help and the sure hope of
witnessing an eventual final victory over all the forces of the
‘Dragon/Devil.’ In Romans 8:35-37 Paul says: “Nothing therefore
can come between us and the love of Christ, even if we are troubled
or worried, or being persecuted, or lacking food or clothes, or being
threatened or even attacked. As scripture promised: For your sake
we are being massacred daily, and reckoned as sheep for the
slaughter. These are the trials through which we triumph, by the
power of him who loved us. For I am certain of this: neither death
nor life, no angel, no prince, nothing that exists, nothing still to come,
not any power, or height or depth, nor any created thing, can ever
come between us and the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus our
Lord.” In Luke 12:4-5 the ‘apostle of the gentiles’ clarifies: “I tell
you, my friends do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after
that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear
him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into
hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.”
Both Paul and Luke were continuously persecuted and beaten
with rods and shut many times in prison for bearing witness to the
Faith. In 61 AD at the end of Paul’s apostolic mission and during his
martyrdom in Rome, Luke remained an inseparable companion. The
Apostle of the gentiles, writing for the last time to Timothy, says: “I
have fought the good fight, I have finished my course…Make haste to
come to me quickly. For Demas hath left me, loving this world….
Only Luke is with me” (2 Timothy 4:6-13). Saint Paul was martyred,
beheaded for the Faith and received eternal rest for fighting ‘the
good fight.’ He is remembered as the apostle of the gentiles for
having evangelized many countries in his numerous voyages.
The calf or the ox, symbolic of the sacrifice of Zachariah the
priest and the father of John the Baptist, represents Saint Luke the
Evangelist. Saint Luke recounts the manner how Saint John the
Baptist was born to Mary’s cousin Elizabeth. It is by no surprise or
coincidence that Luke’s Gospel uniquely records Mary’s visit to
Elizabeth, the Magnificat, and the Presentation of Our Lord in the
Temple, and the account of the Child Jesus’ disappearance in
Jerusalem. Elizabeth’s beautiful words uttered on her encounter with
the Blessed Virgin: “Of all women you are the most blessed, and
blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:42-43). Mary, who
proclaims that God, “…has brought down the powerful from their
thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good
things, and sent the rich away empty” (Luke 1:46-56). It is Luke to
whom we must be grateful for recounting the angelic salutation of
Gabriel: “Rejoice, so highly favored! The Lord is with you.” (Luke
1:28-29) Our Lady humbly accepted God’s invitation to be the
Mother of the Messiah. She humbly replies: “I am the humble
handmaid of the Lord… let what you have said be done to me” (Luke
1:38). With her FIAT, she opposes Lucifer’s rebellion and accepts to
become the Mother of God. Essentially, Our Lady opposes the pride
of the Dragon, by accepting humbly the will of God becoming the
Messiah’s mother; God the Son was made man. She is the mother of
Him, whom Lucifer rejected, causing a rebellion which reverberated
throughout Creation. It is by no surprise therefore, that she is his foe,
for the Blessed Virgin represents the humanity which Lucifer so
ardently detests, albeit the fact that now she is also his Queen. The
Angelic Rebellion led by the proud Dragon, was against the very fact
that God the Son was to become a man and Sovereign of Creation,
rightly so for Creation was begotten by the Father’s Word. The
illogical and ‘hopeless’ rebellion accomplished by its chief architect,
Lucifer, caused by his self-love and vanity is repeated on Earth. The
spirit which opposes servitude to Jesus Christ, the anti-Christian
spirit which is so evident in secret societies, is a spirit which affirms
the repetition of Lucifer’s rebellion, and does not recognize the
sovereignty of God the Son made man, Savior and Redeemer of
mankind. Most reprobate sects publically declare that they need not
a personal Savior who would save them from Original sin and
personal sin. They invoke the architect of the heavenly rebellion to
accomplish the same hopeless rebellion on Earth. On the other hand,
Our Lady initiates her animosity against the rebel Dragon by humbly
accepting God’s will and thus in the process, indicating the manner
how mankind should return to the Father, that is by accepting
humbly the redemption offered by God through her Son’s sacrifice.
In this manner Our Lady opens for all mankind the wondrous door
of real eternal hope.
Truly the enmity between the Dragon and the Woman was not
begotten at the Anunciation, nor at the fall of Adam and Eve, when
Our Lord explicitly declared this enmity in Genesis 3:15, but was
conceived with Lucifer’s rebellion. When the Holy Trinity revealed
the future intent (the birth of Jesus Christ), Lucifer refused to serve,
for his ambition was such that the angel expected the Lord to unite
with his angelic ‘almost perfect’ nature, rather than the inferior
human. This wish was not granted for the angelic nature was not
created in the image and likeness of God. An angelic rebellion
followed when the Dragon swept one third of the stars from the sky
or from heaven (Rev 12). One third of the angels joined forces with
the Dragon, apostatized against God and were cast out of heaven by
Saint Michael, a mere Archangel as opposed to the Cherubim.
Lucifer’s enmity versus the Blessed Virgin was conceived previous to
the rebellion, for Lucifer loathed the fact that God would unite with
human nature. The Child (God the Son) conceived of the Holy Spirit,
was born of the Virgin Mary. The Cherubim Lucifer detested
mankind previous to the angelic rebellion, for God the Son
(conceived by the Holy Spirit) would borrow the Blessed Virgin’s
flesh. Lucifer’s jealousy was eclipsed by the Lord’s decision,
however, indeed the Dragon knew not then who the future mother of
God the Son would be. While today Our Lady is both Queen of
angels and mankind, previous to her birth she was one of the factors
provoking Lucifer’s own undoing, which will carry on till the very
end of time. Following this reasoning anyone can clearly understand
howcome Our Lady was conceived Immaculate, free from the stain of
Original sin for she is the foe of the Dragon’s rebellion and the pure
mother of God the Son.
As well as being the great writer of the Gospel and the Acts of
the Apostles, Saint Luke is accredited with many works of sacred art
particularly depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary and Child Jesus.
Most early icons painted by Luke the Evangelist have surprisingly,
evidently miraculously, survived to our modern day. Many
iconographic depictions of Mary and Child bear witness to Luke’s
love and devotion to Theotokos, the Mother of God. Mentioning
Saint Luke in this particular work is necessary, for it is also through
his paintings, which have survived for twenty centuries, that Our
Lady has wrought many miraculous healings and interventions
during the terrible times of war. Saint Luke’s writings clearly
depicted Our Lady, he also produced pictorial paintings and icons
which are traditionally acclaimed to be the authorship of Luke, such
as the Icon of ‘Our Lady and Child of Czestochowa’ in Poland and
‘Salus Popoli Romani’ found at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore
in Rome. For the early Christians, the portrayal of God in art was
not a subject of prohibition any longer, on the contrary there was
now an urgency for the iconographic rendering of Christ, as He said:
“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:6-14). In
those former times, an early practice performed by Christian
neophytes following baptism, was the wearing of a blue cord around
their neck. As testimony to their new found Faith, during travel the
neophyte would also carry icons of Christ and the Mother of God,
symbolizing the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. In keeping
to the theme of iconographic rendering, Saint Luke is accredited for
having painted many, as previously mentioned, the Icon of the
Blessed Virgin Mary and Child Jesus of Czestochowa in Poland, the
Icon Salus Popoli Romani at the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore in
Rome, the Icon of Our Lady of Philermos in Montenegro, various
Russian Icons and the statue of the Madonna and Child, otherwise
known as the Statue of Our Lady of Guadeloupe discovered in
Seville. This form of evangelizing through works of art, confirms
Luke’s desire to further the devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. He
left such icons in places were recent conversions and new Christian
communities were being established. This was the expression that
Our Lady is the Mother and Protector of Christians and
Christianity. The Christians prayed invoking her protection and
intercession in times of calamity, understood as times of plagues,
disasters and wars. Our Lady and Child’s iconographic renderings,
grossly aided the conversions of pagans by the miraculous healings.
In this manner, the flourishing of Christian communities persevered
and were preserved. An attribute of human nature is to display
pictures, especially pictures of our loved ones. All iconographic
representations of Our Lady and Child, convey to the pilgrim a
message of urgency for conversion and a nudging for the attention to
be drawn on the person of Our Lady, that is, if we wish to discover
her Son Jesus Christ. Most of the iconographic depictions painted by
Saint Luke are the cause of innumerable miraculous intercessions
wrought by Our Lady during times of peace and war. The devotions
to Theotokos, as a result of Saint Luke’s Icons, have caused
astonishing victories and great changes in the destinies of the entire
human race.
Pope John Paul II, in his apostolic letter, ‘Rosarium Virginis
Mariae,’ instituted the luminous mysteries and encouraged the
recitation of the Holy Rosary, exhorting the faithful to use this
prayer: “…to contemplate with Mary the face of Christ.” Pope
Benedict refers to the Holy Trinity as the God with the human face,
for He revealed all and sacrificed Himself. Praying the Holy Rosary
before an icon undoubtedly facilitates the accomplishment of this
exhortation, many spiritual and temporal graces are received when
the Holy Rosary is recited before a miraculous Icon. Pilgrimages to
shrines and sanctuaries displaying a miraculous Icon, exposed for
prayer and contemplation, still contribute to the spiritual and
temporal health of the Christian people. In today’s age of magazine,
TV and computer images, such practices should be encouraged.
The word ‘icon’ is derived from the Greek word ‘eikon’ meaning
‘image’ or ‘depiction.’ In ‘The Catechism of the Catholic Church,’
CCC 1159 to 1162 and CCC 2129 to 2141, discuss the virtues of the
Christian veneration of Images. CCC 1160 “Christian iconography
expresses in images the same Gospel message that Scripture
communicates by words. Image and word illuminate each other.”
CCC 2131 “Basing itself on the mystery of the Incarnate Word the
seventh ecumenical council, at Nicea (787), justified against the
Iconoclasts the veneration of icons of Christ, but also of the Mother
of God, the angels, and all the saints. By becoming incarnate, the Son
of God introduced a new ‘economy’ of images.” CCC 2132 “The
Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first
commandment, which proscribes idols. Indeed, ‘the honor rendered
to an image passes to its ‘prototype’, and ‘whoever venerates an
image venerates the person portrayed in it.’ The honor paid to sacred
images is a ‘respectful veneration’, not the adoration due to God
alone: Religious worship is not directed to images in themselves,
considered as mere things, but under their distinctive aspect as
images leading us on to God incarnate. The movement towards the
image does not terminate in it as image, but tends towards that whose
image it is.” CCC 2141 “The veneration of sacred images is based on
the mystery of the Incarnation of the Word of God. It is not contrary
to the first commandment.”(3)
The late Pontiff, Pope John Paul II, in his work titled ‘Mother of the
Redeemer,’ clearly identifies the ‘Woman’ with ‘Our Lady’: “She
who as the one ‘Full of Grace’ was brought into the Mystery of
Christ in order to be His Mother and thus the Holy Mother of God…
remains in that mystery as ‘the Woman’ spoken of by the Book of
Genesis (3:15) at the beginning.”(4) The death and Resurrection of
Jesus Christ achieved mankind’s redemption and as such no other
victory could be greater, however, Saint Bernard affirmed that
humanity has also essentially defeated Lucifer by virtue of the very
existence of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Saint Bernard postulated: “In
the Most Holy Virgin the Church has already reached that perfection
whereby she exists without spot or wrinkle.” For this reason, as
explained by Saint Bernard, both the Church and the Blessed Virgin
are associated with the ‘Woman’ of Revelation 12. On December 6,
2007, Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa in an article titled ‘The Virgin
without sin’ issued the following statement, “Mary is the sign and
guarantee of this. The whole Church, after her, is called to become
“glorious, without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, that she might
be holy and immaculate” (Ephesians 5:27). A text of the Second
Vatican Council says: “But while in the Most Holy Virgin the Church
has already reached that perfection whereby she is without spot or
wrinkle, the followers of Christ still strive to increase in holiness by
conquering sin. And so they turn their eyes to Mary who shines forth
to the whole community of the elect as the model of virtues” (”Lumen
Gentium,” 65).”(5) St Francis of Assisi referred to her as the “..virgin
made church..” Therefore, the ‘Woman’ who crushes Lucifer, is the
Church represented by the Blessed Virgin, who is in turn, the
Church’s pinnacle of perfection. The Blessed Virgin is also the
Mother of the Church and all the faithful. Whenever Christians are
persecuted the mother is apprehensive and intervenes. Delivering
messages, Our Lady warns her children of imminent and pending
dangers. Notwithstanding such warnings and apparitions by the
Queen, whenever the mother Church declares an apparition as
authentic, the faithful are not obliged to believe in it. Marian
messages do not form part of the corpus of the Dogmatic
Constitution of the Church
“Gaude, Maria Virgo, cunctas haereses sola interemisti in universo mundo,”
or
“Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, who alone has crushed all the heresies in the world,”
