At the eighth incarnation of God, when the sun entered the sign of Fishes, about the beginning of the Christian Era, God was reborn as the Great Fish or Fisher of Men, and was slain on Friday for the redemption of the world. That is why the Christians killed and ate their fish Jesus every Friday to save their craven souls from Hell. That is why the priests of Dagon, the fish god of the Philistines, wore fish skins on their backs and the head of a fish for a miter. The miter of the church dignitaries was the gaping mouth of their fish god. That is why Christ had such phenomenal piscatorial luck and why his disciples were fishermen. That is why he came up out of the waters of Jordan.—See Ancient Pagan & Modern Christian Symbolism.
We are baptized that we may typically become fish or Christlike, but complete immersion is indispensable to save our wicked souls. A few drops of water on the forehead do not make a fish. Jesus came out of the stellar pool in the sign of Fishes, and we have seen superstitious and benighted fishes, who have been born again, come up out of the pool beneath the church altar in the Hub of Universal Culture. The basin at the church door or piscina, containing alleged holy water, is but a type of that celestial pool in which the stellar fishes swim, and into which the sun plunged and washed away the sins of the world. The Egyptian Madonna, Isis, is represented as holding in her arms the christ Horus, and on her head is a fish. The Hindus worship the fish-god at the temple of the Golden Dagon near Rangoon, India.
The Jews sacrificed the fish-christ at each of the three meals of the Sabbath. “One should eat fish for into them the souls of the righteous are transmigrated.”—Talmud. The Buddhist cross, from which the Christian cross was taken, is called Swastika (fishes) and consists of the two fishes of the zodiac crossed. “Maya or Mary, the Virgin of the skies, at the moment of the birth of her son Buddha on Dec. 25, was just rising above the horizon.”
“The sun’s present position is in Aquarius. Our Lord’s advent was in the previous sign of Pisces, but the sign which he declared should precede his next coming was that of Aquarius. ‘When ye see a man bearing a pitcher of water follow ye him.’”—Daughter of the Druids, 101.
When the sun entered the sign of Cancer, the sun god, or the son of god came as the Crab or the Good Scarabaeus, the lucky bug of Egypt, and was born in the nebula of the Manger in the sign of Cancer. Still there is no law against believing in the story of the Jew Christ born in the Manger of Bethlehem. Even the Church Fathers claimed that Christ was the Good Scarabaeus.
In the Catacombs of Rome is a picture of a supper at which seven persons sit down to eat seven loaves and two small fishes. Some writers have failed to grasp the significance of this picture. They are assembled there to eat their Christ, as we do now at every Communion Service. Christ is the bread of life, born in the astronomical house of Breadcorn. He came seven times in the ancient division of the heavens, and in his eighth avatar he came as the two fishes in the sign of Pisces.
Our Christmas is a new name for the old Roman Saturnalia, a festival celebrating the birth of the sun-god Saturn or Moloch at the winter solstice, at which time they feasted, exchanged presents, got drunk and played craps. The Christians, in celebrating the 25th of December, admit that their Christ is a sun-god.—See “Saturn,” Ency. Brit.
CHAPTER II.
The Queen of Heaven.
The Hebrews in the wilderness indulged in this pagan idolatry and sacrificed bullocks and lambs on the altar for the remission of their sins, and erected a golden calf. The golden calf was christ, and his mother was the sacred cow Hathor or Mary. This Meri or Mary was an astral goddess, the moon goddess, the Queen of Heaven, represented as standing in the crescent moon. She is identical with the foul goddesses Astarte, Venus, Ishtar, Asherah and Ashtoreth, the abomination of the Sidonians. Ishtar is the same as Easter, and we celebrate Easter because the sun-god arose at the full moon of Easter. The Sacred Cow of India is worshipped as the Mother of the Gods.—Book of all Religions, 224.
You will see in the idol stores the graven image of Mary, the Queen of Heaven, standing in the crescent moon, and a dog crouching before her offering her a cake with a hole in it. This cake is the Mark of the Beast, the female symbol of the cow Hathor, the Assyrian Grove, the sacred Eye, which was worn by the Christian and pagan priests in their foreheads and on their hands. It is the Sacti of the goddess Maha Deva, called Sacti because it is sacred and is offered up as a sacrifice, closely related to sacrum and the caudal appendage.
