Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, …
“There is a presence that guides the evolution of humanity. It leads us towards the eventual Union with itself, in which we will know it first hand. Through direct experience. I have experienced messengers who have pointed me closer and closer to this presence. The Greek word for messenger is where we derived the word “Angel.” Technically, any messenger that acts as an intermediary between us and this guiding presence falls into the category of angel. The messenger may not take the exact form which society and religion tells us it must. It may not appear to us as a blond haired, blue eyed human surrounded by white light. When I had this experience, I perceived this messenger in the form of an ancient Sumerian god that was known as Enlil - a title which means “Lord of Heaven.” The Sumerians said “he” shined so brightly that not even the other celestial beings could look upon him. The main message this intelligence conveyed to me is that every 2,000 to 2,500 years, the way the world worships god changes. This is dictated by the stars. The zodiac. Christianity was the form which dominated Pisces. When Christ fed the multitudes, he did it with two fish. Two fish are the sign of Pisces. Judaism dominated Aries. Polytheism dominated Taurus. This is the reason Moses got so pissed in the Old Testament when he mane down from the mountain and saw everyone worshipping a golden calf. The golden calf represents the sun in Taurus - meaning they were attempting to return to the previous, older way of worship. In the new age....the age of Aquarius...we enter a time of information. That information is about the zodiac itself. People will learn about the ordinances of the heavens, the meaning behind religion and how it relates to the stars. This is what the entire book of Revelation is about.” - Damien Echols
“Judaism was a moon based system, and Moses was little more than a new name for the ancient Sumerian god of the moon, Sin. This is why he received the new law on Mt. Sinai - the temple of the moon. Christianity took the world on to the next phase of its journey, and replaced the lunar religion with a solar one. We end up with the sun/sun of god. Jesus and the twelve disciples are the sun and the twelve constellations of the zodiac. As we receive each new dispensation we evolve up the Middle Pillar. Each stage of our development raises us to the next sphere. We began in the aeon of Taurus - ancient Mesopotamia and then into Egypt - with polytheism. This was the sphere of Malkuth at the very bottom of the tree. Next came the aeon of Aries -Judaism, and all its ties to the moon and the ancient moon god Sin. This was when we entered the sphere of Yesod. Next came the aeon of Pisces and the rise of Christianity. We changed from a lunar based formula to a solar based formula...which is why Christ corresponds to Tiphareth. With the age of Aquarius we leave behind Tiphareth and move up to Da’ath. This will be a very Saturnian time - of judgement. Da’ath is usually given the attributes of the sphere closest to it, which is Binah....the sphere of judgement and Karma. This is one of the reasons Enlil is attributed to this sphere....he is a god of judgement and wrath.”

“In essence, the book's message is simple. It announces the beginning of a New Aeon in which the spiritual formulae of previous aeons will be amended to better harmonize with humanity's expanded consciousness. The third verse of the first chapter announces that “Every man and every woman is a star”; it describes quite succinctly the fundamental shift in our self-identity that characterizes this new period in human evolution. No longer must we view ourselves as cold, dark satellites helplessly orbiting the “sun” of the family, tribe, race, religion, or nation on whom we depend for light and the fixed trajectory of our lives. The individual is now to be recognized as the primary and preeminent unit of society. It is now possible for humanity to awaken to the liberating fact that each of us is a star, as unique and self-radiant as our celestial counterparts. Instead of desperately trying to determine the will of God and then clumsily attempting to cooperate with it, each of us must now come to realize that our will, if properly understood and executed, is already in harmony with the divine will. In other words, in this age, the holy quest is to discover one's own way rather than trying to guess what a God wants for you and hope from moment to moment that you are guessing correctly.” - Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot.

“Crowley tells us that it does indeed represent the destruction of the world by fire, an event that took place on March 20, 1904, in an apartment in Cairo, when Horus, the God of force and fire, took his father's throne at the Equinox of the Gods—an event that signaled the end of the spiritual world of the dying god Osiris, and the birth of the Aeon of Horus. Crowley taught that, within our racial memory, there have been three aeons. For literary convenience, he labeled them after the three principal gods of Egypt: the Goddess Isis; her husband/brother, Osiris; and their son, Horus. We have just entered the Aeon of Horus, which supplanted the Aeon of Osiris, which supplanted the Aeon of Isis.” • Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot. Lon Milo Duquette
“In the Aeon of Isis we identified with the earth. Life came miraculously from earth and woman. Al magical pantheons were aspects of the Goddess. Death was a mystery whose depths were impossible to plumb. In the Aeon of Osiris we identi fied with the dying/resurrected sun. Al magical pantheons were aspects of God the Father. Death could be magically overcome by obedience to formulae, rites and doctrine. In the Aeon of Horus we identify with the self-radiant, ever-living sun. Al magical pantheons have become aspects of ourselves. We, like the sun, do not die. Death, like night, is an illusion. Life is now seen as a process of continual growth and humanity is developing a consciousness of the continuity of existence that will eventually dissolve the sting of death”
