Don't want to get too "preachy", but what's the internet for anyway?! I think we're missing the spiritual aspect of these occurrences and I'm surprised not to see more interest in Isis, the Egyptian Goddess here. Isis is seen as a fertility Goddess, Goddess of love, marriage, and health. The horns depicted on Isis' headdress represents the horns of a great bull or cattle, in fact it is know as the cow horns crown. Cows/cattle/Ox are often held sacred by numerous world religions. It is said that the strong four legs of cattle held up the universe before mankind was created to do the same (pillars of salt that hold up existence). The round disc is an image of the sun as Ra, or Amun-Ra, who was arguably the most important deity within ancient Egyptian religion. The cobra surrounding the sun is known as the wadjet, representing Apep's constant pursuit of the sun god. Isis is often seen nursing her son Horus as a loving, caring mother. Osiris, Isis' significant other, has been equated with all sorts of deities, from the devil himself to Joseph, of Joseph and Mary. Osiris was disremembered, including his penis, by Seth/Set before being re-assembled by Isis in order to produce their son, Horus. Osiris' penis was said to be swallowed by a great fish, so Isis fashioned a new one out of gold. This is also seen as origins of the virgin birth, as Isis was mating with some resurrected form of Osiris, not the real deal. On sarcophagus of Osiris, Isis is represented a beautiful bird riding Osiris'...umm...pillar.
I'm a little disappointed in the RI crowd here. Aren't these the beings Crowley was attempting to contact? Jeff wrote on and on about the book, "The Stargate Conspiracy" which details the persistent interest in Ancient Egyptian religions and cults that followed them. The Egyptian book of the dead is heralded by many "magicians" and occultists alike. Don't you think dragging the image/name of Isis through the mud is, well, angering the Gods? Jonah's Tomb? Ancient Babylon, Sumer, Land of Ammon (an acceptable spelling of Amun or Amen), Syria, Israel, Palestine all embroiled in war?! Think bigger! I can't help of think of that horrific quote from George W. Bush, who in a phone conversation to French President Jacques Chirac stated "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East." Who in their right mind would equate themselves with demons of revelation?! I've seen the threads pop up about, well, the end of times, the end of this age and I don't think our fingers are too far off the pulse. Frankly though, the phrase I found most valuable from "The Stargate Conspiracy" was something like, "What if there is no end time and things just slowly continued on the course of entropy. Life slowly eroding from the Earth." Now there's a worse case scenario!
