Opening the StarotGate with Daniel Craig.

Daniel Craig stars in Flashbacks of a Fool

I have written recently on the life and death of Heath Ledger and for me it was a startling revelation to find out that he had died on the same day as Berenger Sauniere see:

It was even more strange for me when I started to see the links with the Tarot see: http://atlanteanjournal.blogspot.com/2008/03/heath-ledger-and-five-points-of-davinci.html

I mentioned previously that I plan to write an article on The Fool of the tarot and how it relates to Mel Gibson and Matt Damon. While watching TV last night I saw an add for the next Daniel Craig movie called Flashbacks of a Fool. This struck me instantly and if we delve into Mr Craig's past and future films I think that yet again a pattern emerges. In particular his last role I, Lucifer which is still in production is a film which resonates strongly with 2010 the year in which it will be released. Lucifer being the new sun that is formed from the planet Jupiter in 2010. In Flashback of a Fool it should be noted that he plays alongside an actress who is simply known as Eve no second name. I wonder oh wonder why she was picked for that part.

I, Lucifer (2010) (in production) .... Lucifer
Quantum of Solace (2008) (filming) .... James Bond... aka B22 (UK: promotional abbreviation)
Defiance (2008) (post-production) .... Tuvia Bielski
Flashbacks of a Fool (2008) The topic of our current Tarot debate
One reviewer said:

"A hedonistic British actor''s Hollywood career is starting to nosedive as he hits his 40s. The death of his best friend from his English seaside childhood causes him to journey back home for the funeral, and prompts flashbacks to the tragedy that forced him to flee for a new life."

The Golden Compass (2007) .... Lord Asriel
The Invasion (2007) .... Ben Driscoll
Casino Royale (2006) .... James Bond... aka James Bond 007

Daniel Craig has already worked for the goddess M as James Bond. Could "JB" mean "John the Baptist" and if so doesnt JTB resonate more with The Hanging Man. Yet as Bond he always kills the King and takes his woman. He is the most fit suitor and therefore resonates more with THE FOOL. It is as Crowley says "confusing". The role of Bond also connects directly to Crowley.

Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon (1998) .... George Dyer
A Kid in King Arthur's Court (1995) .... Master Kane

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) .... Alex West

Daniel Craig a man seeking Illumination in TombRaider.

Now I'm sure that if I put my mind to it I could watch all those films and put up a string of pictures to illustrate my point but in this case I think it would be just a waste of time. It's fairly obvious that Mr Craig has an agenda..an Illuminated agenda one might say. It's also fairly blatant that the roles he plays are based more often than not on tarot archetypes. This brings us to an important point. If all the cards and thus their corresponding archetypes are linked then isn't it no wonder that we are constantly seeing links between the actors their names and the roles and names of the characters they play. As Aferrismoon says "it's a LIVING TAROT" its the actors who are living it. But WHY?

Here is some of Aleister Crowley's interpretations of The Fool Tarot Card.

"This card is attributed to the letter Aleph, which means an Ox, but by its shape the Hebrew letter (so it is said) represents a plough- share; thus the significance is primarily Phallic. It is the first of the three Mother letters, Aleph, Mem, and Shin, which correspond in various interwoven fashions with all the triads that occur in these cards, notably Fire, Water, Air; Father, Mother, Son; Sulphur, Salt, Mercury; Rajas, Sattvas and Tamas.
The really important feature of this card is that its number should be 0. It represents therefore the Negative above the Tree of Life, the source of all things. It is the Qabalistic Zero. It is the equation of the Universe, the initial and final balance of the opposites; Air, in this card, therefore quintessentially means a vacuum.
In the medieval pack, the title of the card is Le Mat, adapted from the Italian Matto, madman or fool; the propriety of this title will be considered later. But there is another, or (one might say) a complementary, theory. If one assumes that the Tarot is of Egyptian origin, one may suppose that Mat (this card being the key card of the whole pack) really stands for Maut, the vulture goddess, who is an earlier and more sublime modification of the idea of Nuith than Isis.
There are two legends connected with the vulture. It is supposed to have a spiral neck; this may possibly have reference to the theory (recently revived by Einstein, but mentioned by Zoroaster in his Oracles) that the shape of the Universe, the form of that energy which is called the Universe, is spiral.
The other legend is that the vulture was supposed to reproduce her species by the intervention of the wind; in other words, the eleinent of air is considered as the father of all manifested existence. There is a parallel in Anaximenes' school of Greek philosophy.

This card is therefore both the father and the mother, in the most abstract form of these ideas. This is not a confusion, but a deliberate identification of the male and the female, which is justified by biology. The fertilized ovum is sexually neutral. It is only Some unknown determinant in the course of development which decides the issue.
It is necessary to acclimatise oneself to this at first sight strange, idea. As soon as one has made up one's mind to consider the feminine aspect of things, the masculine element should immediately appear in the same flash of thought to counterbalance it. This identification is complete in itself) philosophically speaking; it is only later that one must consider the question of the result of formulating Zero as "plus I plus minus I". The result of so doing is to formulate the idea of Tetragrammaton."

"Note that 'Fool' is derived from 'follis', a wind-bag. Even etymology gives the attribution to Air. Also, to puff out the cheeks is a gesture implying readiness to create, in the sign-language of Naples. Worse, some English Guardians of Democracy impute folly to others by the "Razzberry".

I am reminded by this Razzberry reference of The Two Ronnie's who did a comedy sketch once called "The Phantom Raspberry Blower" which was a piss take of "Jack the Ripper".

Heath ledger and the Five Points of Rennes le Chateau part 4

In order to fully see the depth of the Ledger mystery it would be best to read this first...

http://atlanteanjournal.blogspot.com/2008/03/heath-ledger-and-five-points-of-rennes.html

We left off last time with some strange Cyrus/Sirius links and I think that those Cyrus posts go to show the importance of "Whats in a Name". I think that I effectively showed in my Juno post http://atlanteanjournal.blogspot.com/2008/03/juno-its-all-in-stars.html that the real or assumed names of the people involved in a film as well as the name of their character can have deep symbolic meanings. In the case of Juno those meanings are partly hidden but with the DaVinci Code the meanings are screaming at you to notice them. For instance Leigh Teabing the name of Ian McKellen character is an anagram of Richard Leigh and Michael Baigents names. Richard Leigh was disgusted with this and brought Dan Brown to court for plagiarism which can be read here.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article2970351.ece.

Captain Bezu Fache played by Jean Reno is a clear reference to Bezu one of the points of the pentagram at Rennes le Chateau. I also think that the Fache part of the name indicates the Catholic Papacy's links with fascism. Fache works for Opus Dei and is deceived by the Archbishops.

In order to discuss how Ledger and his archetype relates to the The Da Vinci Code film and consequently how Miss Audrey Tautou and her archetype relates to MM Madeleine McCann I am going to quote some more Aleister Crowley and his interpretations in The Book of Thoth. But before I start quoting liberally from Crowley I am going to show you some more stills from A Knight's Tale and The Brothers Grimm and discuss the deliberate positioning of Heath Ledger beside certain very distinct symbols. "Symbols are very Important" Tom Hanks.

In the first of our symbolic shots we have Heath framed within what looks suspiciously like the Square and Compasses of Freemasonry. Heath is testing out his new armour forged by a woman (Goddess) not a man. She is so proud of this new armour that she puts her special mark on it so everyone knows it was her work (see below)

It was noted in a previous post that the G was the symbol for The Brothers Grimm.

Heaths new armour bears a mark that also looks very familiar. It's the Nike (mythology), symbol which incidentally is a symbol that is directly linked with the Goddess and the concept of sacrifice.

As well as being a symbol that resonates with sacrifice it also resonates strongly with the god that one might prepare a sacrifice for i.e Saturn. The rings of Saturn look very like this symbol when you take out the planet from the picture, I seen this illustrated by Jordan Maxwell in a video once upon a time were he made a direct connection to Saturn.

The rings of this logo look very like the Nike symbol when the planet is removed from the picture.

The picture below shows a sacrifice being performed by Nike (mythology) and Apollo who is one of the most important of the Olympian deiti or Titans as they are known. If the armour was made by Nike that would make Heath equate with one of the male gods possibly Apollo.

Below we have Heath holding the Two Towers within his very hands. This picture was drawn by the other goddess in The Brothers Grimm. Heath and Matt Damon both fall in love with the beautiful Lena Headey who plays Angelika with a K. Angelika is a "Huntress" so this fits well with the Venus acrhetype quote from Lynn Picknett. Lena also has a penchant for Goddess roles were in her recent past she has stared in 300 (2006) .... Queen Gorgo, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" .... Sarah Connor, Waterland (1992) .... Young Mary. In her first three roles she was cast as Miriam, Mary and Margaret so no goddess links there then, lol.

Heath finally gets his Goddess/Huntress in The Brothers Grimm.

Another occurance below of Heath as "The Hanging Man". I will be posting more hanging man pictures later in the piece. This is also the torture technique used against heretics in the eyes of the church and fits well with our Johanite model i.e a follower of John the Baptist like a freemason/Templar who was tortured during the inquisition may have been forced to confess to worshiping the severed head of John the Baptist.

After the inquisitorial hanging session Heath is later presented with the severed heads of the two that betrayed and ran away. The idea of betrayal and being a traitor are crucial to the symbolism associated with the hanging man. Note that in The Patriot a movie that now resonates with Two Towers due to Mels 9lb 11oz divination, Heath is sentenced to death by hanging for being a traitor to the King of England. He has betrayed the King in favour of the Goddess.

It is at this stage that I would like to bring up something that I had planned to do but due to unfortunate circumstances I didnt. Straight after Ledger died I wrote an article called "The John the Baptist Murders". Ben Fairhallunfortunatly my friend died putting a stop to all writing.

Only yesterday when looking back through Chris Knowles The Secret Sun did I see that Chris had also recently written a superb article about John the Baptist and his connections to the Templars and Freemasonary. Just like Chris I too have noticed the increase in "Headless symbolism" appearing on our TV and movie screens. Here is a link to Chris's article http://secretsun.blogspot.com/2008/02/ritual-drama-john-baptist-in-space.html.

As soon as I have exhausted this font of synchronicity and coincidence that is Heath Ledger I will be addressing the issue of what I have christened The John the Baptist Murders. For now though I will keep going with Ledger.

"The TAROT is a Pictorial representation of the Forces of Nature as conceived by the Ancients according to a conventional symbolism." Aleister Crowley..........

In my first post on this subject http://atlanteanjournal.blogspot.com/2008/03/heath-ledger-and-five-points-of-rennes.html I briefly discussed the preponderance of the number 22 in relation to both Ledger and Sauniere. Crowley has the following to say about the relationship between the 22 court cards, the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the Tree of Life of the Qabalists.

"Twenty-two is the number of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It is the number of the Paths of the Sepher Yetzirah. These paths are the paths which join the ten numbers on the figure called the Tree of Life.

"Why are there twenty-two of them? Because that is the number of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and one letter goes to each path. 1 Atu: House or Key, in Ancient Egyptian. Tahuti: Egyptian God of Wisdom, magick, Science, also Illusion. In Coptic, Thoth: in Greek, Hermes: in Latin, Mcrcury. The Hindu and Scandinavian Gods corresponding are debased forms."

"Why should this be so? Why should these paths be arranged on the Tree in the way that the diagram shows? Why should there not be paths connecting the numbers 2 and 5 and the numbers 3 and 4? One cannot answer any of these questions. Who knows "How A got leave an ox to be, No camel, quoth the Jews, like G". (Brownmg)? One knows only that this was the conventional arrangement adopted by whoever it was that devised the Tarot. What is worse, it seems very confusing, very annoying; it shakes one's faith in these great sages. But at least there is no doubt that this is so."

"The letters of the Hebrew alphabet are twenty-two. There are three " Mother" Letters for the Elements, seven "Double Letters" for the Planets, and twelve "Single" Letters for the Signs of the Zodiac. But there are four Elements, not three. Or, including the element of Spirit (an important matter to initiates), there are five. There are therefore two letters of the alphabet which have to do double duty. The element of Fire is very close kin to the idea of Spirit; so the letter Shin, belonging to Fire, may be taken to mean Spirit as well. There is a special reason why this should be so, although it only applies in later ages, since the introduction of the dognia that Spirit rules the four elements, and the formation of the "Pentagram of Salvation" connected with the Hebrew word IHShVH, Yeheshuah."

Inhttp://atlanteanjournal.blogspot.com/2008/03/heath-ledger-and-five-points-of-davinci.html I brought up Miss Audrey Tautou who I noted had a name with a resonance of it's own. What I meant by that comment is born out by the quotations below from Crowley as he talks about the letter Tau. I am trying to draw your attention to the fact that even Miss Tautou's name resonates extremely well with the concepts and archetypes I am discussing. Remember she is the Sangreal or Blood Royal. She is the Goddess and descendant of MM. She already resonates with Venus through her associations with Sauniere. She is a "Stolen Child". Her name also resonates with the principle of 0 = 2 through the Tau association of Tau Two = Tau Tou.

"With regard to Earth, it was considered adequate to make the letter Tau, belonging to Saturn, correspond also to Earth. These additions are clear evidence that the Tarot took definite and arbitrary steps to assert the new discovery in Magick some two thousand years ago; for no system is more rigid than a Hebrew system. And the system of the Sepher Yetzirah is the deepest rooted of all the elements of the Hebrew system, the most dogmatic of them all."

The letter Tau means the Sign of the Cross, that is, of extension; and this extension is symbolized as four-fold because of the con venience of constructing the revolving symbol of Tetragrammaton. In the case of the number 2, the only issue is the return to the unity or to the negative. No continuous process can be conveniently sym bolized; but the number 4 lends itself, not only to this rigid extension, the hard facts of nature, but also to the transcendence of space and time by a continuously self-compensating change.

The letter Tau is attributed to Saturn, the outermost and slowest of the seven sacred planets; because of these dull, heavy qualities, the element of earth was thrust upon the symbol. The original three elements, Fire, Air, Water, sufficed for primitive thought; Earth and Spirit represent a later accretion. Neither is to be found in the original twenty4wo Paths of the Sepher Yetzirah. The world of Assiah, the material world, does not appear except as a pendant to the Tree of Life.

In the same way, the element of Spirit is attributed to the letter Shin, as an additional ornament, somewhat in the same way as Kether is said to be symbolized by the topmost point of the Yod of Tetra grammaton. It is constantly necessary to distinguish between the symbols of philosophical theory and those more elaborate symbols based upon them which are necessary in practical work.

Saturn and Earth have certain qualities in common-heaviness, coldness, dryness, immobility, dulness and the like. Yet Saturn appears in Binah in respect of its blackness in the Queen's scale, which is the scale of Observed Nature; but always, as soon as the end of a process is reached, it returns automatically to the beginning.

"In Chemistry, it is the heaviest elements that are unable in terrestrial conditions to support the strain and stress of their internal structure; consequently, they radiate particles of the most tenuous character and the highest activity. In an essay written in Cefalu', Sicily, on the second law of Thermo-dynamics, it was suggested that at the absolute zero of the air thermometer, an element heavier than uranium might exist, of such a nature that it was capable of reconstituting the entire series of elements. It was a chemical interpretation of the equation, 0=2."

"It becomes then reasonable to argue from analogy that since the end must beget the beginning, the symbolism will follow; hence, blackness is also attributed to the sun, according to a certain long- hidden tradition. One of the shocks for candidates in the "Mysteries" was the revelation "Osiris is a black god".

I realise that the quotations are quite large but I don't feel qualified to explain these concepts. I have gained most of my knowledge about them from reading books like The Book of Thoth so I feel justified in presenting as much of the quotes as needs be to get my point across. This next quotation is especially important when taken into account with a quote from Casanova a film which presents us with a huge number of Tarot archetypes and many Goddesses. In Casanova Heath is faced with the gorgeous Sienna Miller as Francesca Bruni. I believe due to the nature of this film that her character is also meant to represent Giordano Bruno the heretic.

There is some blurring about of names involved but I am certain that it is the directors intention that that inference be made. Therefore with Heathcliff as Casanova and Sienna as a female Bruno we have two illusionists nicely positioned in a basket. We also have Heathcliff coming home to VENICE where the entire film is set. I will not put up the Venus quotation again this time but remember that Venice and Venison and the Hunter and Huntress go hand in hand with Venus Symbolism.

On Casanova's first encounter with Francesca she is impersonating a man a Dr Giordano who is demonstrating a miniature hot air balloon at the university. She says "A woman is Air and Fire and Lightness and Strength....Like this little vessel it would rise up to heaven if not held down by ballast". Heath eventually ends up in a balloon with Miss Bruni/Bruno as they ascend towards the heavens and enlightenment.

Heath returns to Venice to find his Goddess. A true "Son of Venus"

Soon after his first encounter Heath says the following to his Goddess

"I have spent countless hours alone with Casanova pondering the ways of love and how it makes us one with the Angels" She replies "and with the Beasts"

"

The Ancients conceived of Fire; Water and Air as pure elements. They were connected with the three qualities of Being, Knowledge and Bliss, previously mentioned. They also correspond with what the Hindus called the Three Gunas-Sattvas, Rajas and Tamas, which may be translated roughly as "Calm", "Activity", and "Slothful Darkness". The alchemists had three similar principles of energy, of which all existing phenomena are composed: Sulphur, Mercury and Salt. This Sulphur is Activity, Energy, Desire; Mercury is Fluidity, Intelligence, the power of Transmission; Salt is the vehicle of these two forms of energy, but itself possesses qualities which react on them. The student must keep in his mind all these tripartite classifications. In some cases, one set will be more useful than others.  

For the moment, concentrate on the Fire, Water, Air series. These elements are represented in the Hebrew alphabet by the letters Shin, Mem and Aleph. The Qabalists call them the Three Mother Letters. In this particular group, the three elements concerned are completely spiritual forms of pure energy; they can only manifest in sensible experience by impinging upon the senses, crystallising out in a fourth element which they call "Earth", represented by the last letter of the alphabet, Tau. This, then, is another quite different interpretation of the idea of the Daughter, which is here considered as a pendant to the Triangle. It is the number Ten suspended from the 7, 8, 9 in the diagram."

Heath as Casanova running away from an entire convent of Goddesses. He is running as he is being chased by the Inquisition and if caught he will be hung.

Casanova spies a beautiful goddess off in the distance, but wait, he doesn't see a real woman instead he sees an apparition.

The apparition is of course Mary Ishtar, Venus or Aphrodite. Pick one.

In this last quote below Crowley highlights the difficulty with the Fool tarot card. In a future post I will be discussing the fool and the reasons why I think Mel Gibson and Matt Damon are perfect representations of the Fool. I hope via these future posts to solidify the association of Heath with the hanging man but to also recognise that sometimes he plays The Fool..

Lets end it here for now with yet another depiction of Heath as The Hanging Man. He manages to escape execution by getting a fake papal pardon this time.

"The Qabalists, devising the Tarot, then proceeded to make pictures of these extremely abstract ideas of Father, Mother, Son and Daughter, and they called them King, Queen, Prince and Princess. It is confusing, but they were also called Knight, Queen, King and Princess. Sometimes, too, the Prince and Princess are called "Emperor" and "Empress". The reason for this confusion is connected with the doctrine of the Fool of the Tarot, the legendary Wanderer, who wins the King's daughter, a legend which is connected with the old and exceedingly wise plan of choosing the successor to a king by his ability to win the princess from all competitors. (Frazer's Golden Bough is the authority on this subject."

Heath Ledger & The Five Points of Rennes le Chateau Part 2

Heathcliff draws the sign of the goddess Venus on the floor of a stable in The Brothers Grimm

We left off with a compelling set of synchs that lead me to believe that Heathcliff resonates very strongly with the symbolism associated in general and specifically with "The Goddess". I would like to continue in that vein and begin by drawing your attention to these videos written and narrated by Andrew Rutajit. The two part vid is called "Dancing with the Devil" and at approx 3 min into the first part he gives a wonderful description of Venus Goddess worship and its origins.

In particular there is a simulation which demonstrates the path that is mapped out by Venus in its orbit around the sun. If you choose not to watch all the vid at least go to the 3min mark and see the simulation as it is illuminating when taken in context of our current investigation. He also describes the mechanism by which Lucifer became Satan.

Andrew Rutajit correctly points out that this pentagram symbol has many associations but I would like to stick to the main two for the moment and discuss the Morning and Evening star. In order to do this I am going to quote directly from "The Secret History of Lucifer" by the Luciferously Lucid Goddess Lynn Picknett. I have referred to this book in the past and have found it to be an invaluable guide in these matters. Lynn has the following to say about Lucifer.

http://www.picknettprince.com/

"Plato and countless others in the ancient world knew that the Morning Star had another incarnation as the Evening star, or Venus. In his classic The Golden Bough, J.G. Frazier wrote:

.

Sirius was the star of Isis, just as the Babylonians deemed the planet Venus the star of Astarte. To both peoples apparently the brilliant luminary in the morning sky seemed the Goddess of life and love come to mourn her departed lover or spouse and wake him from the dead.

"Like the lesser known Astraea or "Starry One", the Libyan Goddess of the law who dispensed the fates of man, the beauty and truth of the deity Venus was believed to be visible in the Evening star, the opposite and equal to the Morning Star, Lucifer. however this distinction was too subtle for the Pagans new enemies "The Christians" and a great blurring between the femiine principal and the "Evil One" soon took place, eased in its passage by the Romans who refer to Venus as "Lucifera" the enlightener. "

"Venus the archetypal of the arts of love and womens secrets, an unashamedly sexual deity, gave her name not only to "venereal disease" and "venery", but perhaps, some claim, also more courteously to Venice, the city of her element as "Stella Maris" ("Star of the Sea" a title she shared with Isis and much later the Virgin Mary). Originally like Diana Venus was a huntress a "Lady of Animals" whose horned consort was Adonis both the Hunter and Sacrificial Stag which became "Venison" or "Venus's Son". Once again the line becomes blurred between horned gods and their consorts and once again the Goddess is associated with animality, sexual secrets, lust and Lucifer. (Any bold print is my emphasis on Lynn's words)."

.
OK so lets strip this back down to its basic elements. I am looking for symbolism within Heathcliff Ledgers films and life that confirm and complement my previous observations which link Heathcliff to Rennes le Chateau and its associated mysteries/puzzles or whatever you want to call them. This isnt fucking rocket science is it, but nevertheless we can still use equations to help us see through the veil so to speak.

Heathcliff = Venus = Rennes Le Chateau = Berenger Sauniere = Merovingian Bloodline = the returning Goddess Mary = Isis = Stella Maris = Pentagram or five points = The Hunter

Also we could make another similar equation which gives the other side of the coin:

Heathcliff = Pentagram = Lucifer as light bringer = the returning Beast = John the Baptist or Jesus Christ.( I feel that the more likely Archetype for Ledger is John the Baptist and not Jesus Christ but as I will try to explain in a later post, telling the difference between JTB and JC isn't all that easy.

In order to substantiate these two equations I need "Evidence or Proof". No problemo! Lets see what we can learn by looking at a series of still frames taken from just three of Heath Ledger films. The three films in question are The Brothers Grimm Ned Kelly and A Knight's Tale

If we look at this next picture below taken from The Brothers GriMM which was directed by Terry Gilliam who incidentally was directing the film that Heath was about to shoot for 40 Days and KNights when he died i.e The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus we can see many more synchs and links.

Heathcliff who has just drawn the pentagram on the ground with chalk now proceeds to bless it with a fake sacred sword.

This still is from the opening sequence and we can see the entangled serpent nailed to the timber mantle directly above the logo of the film company. The logo they choose to use is of course the Pentagram with the severed head of the Goddess. Also the date is 1796 which is 20 years after the formation of the Bavarian Illuminati. The area described in the film is that of Bavaria. There is currently a French occupation and the German people are thought of as backward superstitious peasants.

The Brothers Grimm logo is a large G which is also one of the main symbols for Freemasonry although not conclusive we are in Illuminati territory.

Now we come to the first of many pictures which I for one feel are disconcerting at best and damned prophetic at worst. The shot below is not something I tried to achieve by waiting for the exact moment that ledger on the left just happened to position his head. This is the way the scene was composed by the director. The men where standing still on the horses and we end up with a shot which depicts Ledger as the hanging man.

Aleister Crowley The Beast Himself has the following to say about the Hanging Man Tarot Card:

"This card, attributed to the letter Mem, represents the element of Water. It would perhaps be better to say that it represents the spiritual function of water in the economy of initiation; it is a baptism which is also a death. In the Aeon of Osiris, this card represented the supreme formula of adeptship; for the figure of the drowned or hanged man has its own special meaning. The legs are crossed so that the right leg forms a right angle with the left leg, and the arms are stretched out at an angle of 60° so as to form an equilateral triangle; this gives the symbol of the Triangle surmounted by the Cross, which represents the descent of the light into the darkness in order to re deem it. "

"For this reason there are green disks-green, the colour of Venus, signifies Grace-at the terminations of the limbs and of the head. The air above the surface of the water is also green, infiltrated by rays of the white light of Kether. The whole figure is suspended from the Ankh, another way of figuring the formula of the Rose and Cross, while around the left foot is the Serpent, creator and destroyer, who operates all change. "


"It is notable that there is an apparent increase of darkness and solidity in proportion as the redeeming element manifests itself; but the colour of green is the colour of Venus, of the hope that lies in love. That depends upon the formulation of the Rose and Cross, of the annihilation of the self in the Beloved, the condition of progress."

"Note on the Precession of the Aeons. "The Hanged Man" is an invention of the Adepts of the I.N.R.I.-J.A.O. formula; in the Aeon previous to the Osirian,that of Isis (Water), he is "The Drowned Man". The two uprights of the gallows shewn in the Medieval packs were, in the parthenogenetic system of explaining and ruling Nature, the bottom of the Sea and the keel of the Ark. In this Aeon all birth was considered an emanation, without male intervention, of the Mother or Star-Goddess, Nuit; all death a return to Her."

"This explains the original attribution of the Atu to Water, and the sound M the return to Eternal Silence, as in the word AUM. This card is therefore specially sacred to the Mystic) and the attitude of the figure is a ritual posture in the Practice called "The Sleep of Shiloam".


"The Atu represents the sacrifice of "a male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence"-these words were chosen with the utmost care. The meaning of his attitude has already been described, and of the fact that he is hanged from an Ankh, an equivalent of the Rosy Cross; in some early cards the gallows is a Pylon, or the branch of a Tree, by shape suggesting the letter Daleth (~) Venus, Love."

Crowley as usual has some fascinating insights into the meaning of this card. He brings up associations with water and baptism, death and rebirth, Sacrifice of Innocents, Venus the Goddess and the origin of the sound of the letter M or maybe MM. All these themes we find in the films being examined. Is it still just coincidence?

I am now going to turn to a series of stills which seem to show how our two biblical resonators don't seem to have much respect for the recognised Catholic Church under Vatican control.

Ledger and Damon are back left in this shot below with the Cross and Bible directly above their heads. They are about to defraud the poor villagers out of some cash by taking advantage of old legends and myths about a witch. This would have been viewed as highly heretical behaviour by the Christian authorities and it would usually result in the perpetrators being "asked the question" i.e tortured until they confessed that they are witches. In this film though a twist is put on this usual witchcraft plot. The two con men are in fact arrested by the enlightened and illuminated french General and forced to confess that they are in fact Con Men and that there is no such thing as Witchcraft and that its all trickery. Heathcliff is then coerced in to going on a mission to find 10 missing children who have gone missing in the forest of Marbadden where the Goddess resides in the tower protected by the The Green Man or Woodwose Man from Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knyght;

Matt Damon seems to resonate with both archetype's of Jesus and JTB from his films The Bourne Identity The Good Shepherd and Ocean's Thirteen . Damon also resonates with other biblical characters for instance he plays AAron in the film Margaret and Loki in Dogma. In this shot he turns his back on the cross which divides himself and Ledger during most of the scene.

Damon again shows disrespect to the Christian cross by tapping it loudly in order to gain the crowds attention.

I will change the direction of this enquiry now by going back to the quote by Lynn Picknett. "Venus was a huntress whose horned consort was Adonis both the Hunter and the Sacrificial Stag who became venison or "Venus Son". Looking at this picture below we can see our hero fulfilling the criteria of "The Hunter" but if we switch films for a little while and examine A Knight's Tale the evidence begins to mount.

Above we have Heath resonating with the Hunter in the Brothers Grimm but the pictures below combined with the dialogue from the movie A Knights Tale provide us with a much more coherent overall view.

Heath: tell me your name woman
Goddess: and what would you do with my name Sir Hunter
Goddess: call me a fox for that is all i am to you.
Heath: well then a fox you shall be until a find your name my foxy lady
Goddess: he is a handsome Hunter I'll give him that.


In the process of his first introduction to the beautiful Goddess, Heath manages to desecrate the Christian Church by riding into it on his horse. Our Goddess Shannyn Sossamon (oh so close to Solomon) has appeared in some films whose titles would suggest that she portrays the Goddess a lot and in a biblical setting to boot. 40 Days and 40 Nights Wholey Moses Devour "Moonlight" Fleur De Lis Sleeping Beauty .
He is then made to leave by the clergy present.

 I will leave it there for now and the next installment will follow soon where I intend to talk more one the mind control/induction process.

I nearly forgot to mention this but here goes....I am interested in horses and today while browsing the runners I noticed a horse in the 3.40 at newcastle race track in England that I just had to back. The horse was of course called Heathcliff and was 12 to 1. I naturally placed 15euro each way on the beasty and it luckily finished 3rd so I doubled my money. Weirder &and Weirder!

Update: 08/10/2010

This post was written before anyone knew that Heath was actually portrayed as the Hanging Man tarot card in the film The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. I have added this note and tidied up this post as of 08/10/2010. On a personal level when I saw the Imaginarium of Dr P I was fucking stunned I actually yelled out "holy sweet Jesus, Gilliam has made him into the Tarot card". Terry Gilliam you are an evil man of this I am in no doubt. Ledger died while working under you Mr Gilliam. How stupid do you think the public really is. You placed him under that bridge. Did you put bricks in his pocket during that scene or would that have been too obvious.
