THE HELIOS BIBLIOS HOUR: ESOTERIC MEANING OF EASTER/ISHTAR

O YE DRYBONES

Easter is a universal festival of great antiquity. The ancients celebrated the Vernal Equinox (which falls between 19 to 21 March each year in our Gregorian calendar) as the renewal of Nature. during which coloured eggs were exchanged in commemoration of the Scandinavian goddess Eostre, or Ostara, which is where we get our word 'Easter' from.In the ancient Egyptian mythos, Geb, the god of the Earth, is spoken of as having laid an egg, or the Universe. In India, Brahma was depicted like the Egyptian god Ra, gestating in the Egg of the Universe.The cross, as a Christian symbol, is supposed to date from the time of Jesus' crucifixion. Yet, when we look into the history of Christian iconography we find that the figure of a man upon the Cross is entirely absent from Christian art until the 7th century! The earliest known form of the human figure on the cross is the crucifix presented by Pope Gregory to Queen Theodolinde of Lombardy.astrology is one of the keys that unlocks the hidden meaning of the Bible. Using this key we see that the ancient Egyptians associated the ass with the zodiacal sign of Aries .the name Easter comes to us from the Saxon Eostre, who was a form of the Phoenician goddess Astarte, herself a copy of the Egyptian Isis, and these were all deities associated with the moon.Afterwards he was instructed in the doctrine of the divine Word, already taught by Krishna in India, by the priests of Osiris, by Orpheus and Pythagoras in Greece, and known to the prophets under the name of the Mysteries of the Son of Man and of the Son of God. According to this doctrine, the highest manifestation of God is man,
