The Arctic Home in the Vedas: Part 20 - The most esoteric connections and the origin of Saturnian religion




From UKUFOChannel YouTube channel, based on Joseph Farrell interview on Red Ice Radio.

The dwarf star Saturn was once a life-giving second star within our solar system, with satellites of its own; almost like a solar system within a solar system. Apparently with its heat, much more of the solar system would have been able to sustain life. Whomever these people were, if not human, it's likely that they at least contributed to our DNA. In the end, they destroyed themselves.

"Sun vs. Saturn" revisited

The ancient texts (Sumerian, Vedic, etc.) apparently convey that this "war of the worlds" scenario---whether you believe it literal or mythological---pitted the "Sun-Earth-Moon" people vs. the "Saturn-Krypton" people in a type of nuclear war.. or a war of tremendous energy weapons. This would go hand-and-glove with the "Cult of Saturn" concept... regardless of whether or not these people are just playing some type of ridiculous grand occultic game. If this were all true, then both sides---including both stars---would be part of "OUR collective history."

**************************************************

Superman vs. Bad Guy (allegorical "Jesus vs. Satanist")



Christian Superman allegory

One eery example of a modern allegory is the 1978 movie 'Superman'. The missing or destroyed planet was originally referred to as "Krypton," which would fit the movie perfectly within the context of the "Cosmic War" scenario. Also, it's evident that "Superman" was intended to be of Jewish origin, and something of a Jesus figure by his Jewish-American creators.

The movie begins with Krypton being destroyed, as in a war; although the details of the war are not laid out. We're just left to assume that this was in some other galaxy perhaps. However, it very likely was intended to be the Krypton of legend. Whether reality or fantasy, Kal-El (Superman) was sent by his father Jor-El to Earth. The god "El" was a Saturnian god; and the lost planet of Krypton would have been on the Saturnian side of the war of legend.

Basically, Superman comes to Earth and "saves" people and performs "miracles." Clearly a Jesus-allegory. In the sequel 'Superman II', Superman in a sense "dies" (loses his powers and disappears) for a good while. Apparently, although symbolically "Saturnian," Kal-El is a "good Saturnian." Therefore, he symbolically has switched loyalty to a "Sun" figure like Jesus ("the light of the world"; the "Son" with the letter "S" on his clothing). A type of peace-maker of the solar system.

Next, three black-suited "Saturnian bad guys" escape from their square-shaped type of prison from the distant past and show up and take over the Earth by force. The color black and the square (black cube) are clear symbols of Saturn. In other words, the "Cult of Saturn" personified! Superman (aka "Jesus") doesn't seem to be around, and people wonder where he is.. or maybe if he is a fraud after all. Nobody can even begin to challenge the Saturnians (aka "Satanists").

Lastly of course, Superman (aka Jesus) finally shows up and eventually defeats the cosmic criminals (aka Cult of Saturn). A cryptic Christian or Judeo-Christian spin on the 'Book of Revelation'; and a very obvious allegorical connection to the old Sumerian/Vedic legend. I mean it almost couldn't be more obvious; regardless of whether or not this is based on mythology or history. Even the name of the leader of the cosmic criminals is "Zod," or "God" in reverse; as like a "false god."

Gaulish, Insubrian, reenactment group in Western Lombardy and Ticino; and "The Torc"




The Insubrians were a major Gaulish tribe which inhabited Western Lombardy (including Ticino, Switzerland) in pre-Roman times. I think Gaulish is perhaps a more descriptive term than "Celtic," even though most of these southern Alpine tribes were part of the greater Celtic world. Western Lombardy, with it's distinct western dialect of the Lombard language, is often referred to as "Insubria" within a regional-national context.

I celti insubri north italian's ancient celtic tribes 

[from the video description]:

The tribe of Insubres placed between today's Lombardy and Canton Ticino (Swiss), was one of the largest Celtic tribe populating a big part of northern Italy's territories. We know from Tito Livio, historical of the I° century. BC., the story that around the seventh century BC Belloveso, a celtic prince, came in a place where was living a tribe with the same name of an Edui's tribe, who was after him: this name was Insubres. He decided to found a village in those lands, and questioned 7 wise druids, who consulted the oracle to get a response to tell him where to place the first stone.

The answer was that seeing a semi-walled sow would be the sign who marked the city's boundary. When in the middle of a clearing a White semi-walled sow was found between hawthorn's bushes, they decided that this was the place where found Medhelan. (Milàn). Today we can suppose that those "Insubres" were the direct descendants of Golasecca culture, whose archaeological remains dating ninth - VIII century. BC, are massively present in the area around Milan and Lombardy.

Recently remains were found even in the Milan's midtown. Most of these findings, concern pottery and artifacts commonly used as, bowls, vases and ornaments such as brooches and jewelry of various kinds, but close to this findings it isn't rare at all to find objects of war, such as swords, shields and studs spearheads. The Celtic people, do not always lived peacefully, though not all disputes between the various tribes, were concluding in real battles. Its also common to find objects associated with religious rituals, proof of a deep spirituality connected with the cult of the Celtic deities.

The worship of the goddess Belisama or Brigh, name who might be the origin of the Brianza's place name thet is representing motherhood and fertility, and the cult of the god Cernunnos, the spirit of the forest with deer antlers and snake at his feet, that is a protector of animals, or worshipof Belenos, the sun-god, are just some examples. What at first seemed like a normal activity of a farming community, in reality could conceal preparations for a battle, as all members of the tribe were called to work for the preparation of weapons. Often, then, the women took part in the battle. Famous are the anthropomorphic hilt swords, found in much of Cisalpine Gaul, example of Insubre's and more generally Celtic art.

The figure of the Druid was in Celtic culture, who acted as intermediary with the divine forces of nature and that could change the fate of a battle with his sorcery. He knew the power of words, writing, used to designate the sacred territories and tombstones. The North Etruscan alphabet or Lepontic recently reclassified as Cisalpine Celtic alphabet, is the oldest form of Celtic writing known, and enable us to reconstruct, albeit in a very limited way, the ancient Celtic language of Insubrians. The splendor of till now discovered archaeological remains are barely unveil the complexities of a culture so far in time but so close to our roots. A documentary about Insubres the ancient celtic tribes who found Milano in north italy, and north italian history.

The torc as a cultural symbol

I wanted to add here the torc as having been an important cultural and spiritual symbol from the iron Age to the period of Romanization and Christianization. It seems to clearly have sprung from the Continental Celts, but extended to other nearby peoples as well, and right up to the edges of the earliest Greek and Roman borders. Cernunnos was depicted as holding a snake (representative of the Ophiuchus constellation) in one hand, and a torc in another. The Hellenic depiction of "The Dying Gaul" showed him wearing a torc, and was apparently a symbol of Greek victory against the nearby Celts. It's ironic that the torc seems to have symbolically "died" along with "The Dying Gaul," at least compared to its former significance over such vast regions. Perhaps it's time to start thinking about this symbol a bit more; maybe as a Gaulish equivalent to the Teutonic hammer or drinking horn?



Torc (Wikipedia)

A torc, also spelled torq or torque, is a large rigid or at least stiff neck ring in metal, made either as a single piece or from strands twisted together. The great majority are open at the front, although some had hook and ring closures and a few mortice and tenon locking catches to close them. Many seem designed for near-permanent wear and would have been difficult to remove. Torcs are found in the Scythian, Illyrian, Thracian, Celtic, and other cultures of the European Iron Age from around the 8th century BC to the 3rd century AD. For the Iron Age Celts the gold torc seems to have been a key object, identifying the wearer as a person of high rank, and many of the finest works of ancient Celtic art are torcs. The Celtic torc disappears in the Migration Period, but during the Viking Age torc-style metal necklaces, now mainly in silver, came back into fashion. Torc styles of neck-ring are found as part of the jewellery styles of various other cultures and periods.

Calumet, Michigan - Part of Lombard-American history




firechasers YouTube channel

The default image above is the old headquarters of the now defunct Calumet and Hecla Mining Company, an important copper mining operation from 1868 through World War II, and closed for good in 1970. The building is now part of the historical park.

Calumet was once the home of the Italian-American Federation of the Upper Peninsula, an umbrella voice for the benevolent societies of the area. In those days, it was sink-or-swim for immigrants. Calumet was unfortunately also the site of what is known as the Italian Hall disaster of 1913. The town is part of the Lombard story in the United States.

Air battle: Drone vs. Hawk




This blog is not a commercialized, nor does it utilize AdSense.

From Christopher Schmidt YouTube channel

Hawk vs. Drone! (Hawk Attacks Quadcopter) 

On Oct 8th, I was flying my quadcopter at Magazine Beach Park in Cambridge, MA when a hawk decided he wasn't too happy with my invasion of his airspace...

As far as I could tell, the juvenile red-tailed hawk came out unscathed, and having defeated his prey, was happy to retreat. (As soon as he flew at me, I throttled down the props to try to minimize any harm to the bird.) The quadcopter came out unscathed as well.

**************************************************

There are drones over the United States. I actually saw one while hiking late last year. It flew above and over me in the fog at about fifty feet. I suspect that it was a privately owned drone. Some person of means who was having fun in their living room perhaps. I couldn't see it clearly in the thick fog, but it looked like a small box, maybe slightly bigger than a softball, with some attachment parts, moving at about twenty mph. I guess the intrusion was a little bit too much for this hawk to take.

News segment on "The Hill"... initially a post-Civil War Milanese district in St. Louis




Nine Network YouTube channel

KETC - Living St. Louis - The Hill: What's Old and New 

From KETC, LIVING ST. LOUIS Producer Margie Newman takes a closer look at The Hill—a neighborhood in South St. Louis that was started by Italian immigrants in the 19th century. Today, the area has numerous Italian restaurants and markets, creating a tight-knit community.

************************************************** 

The Hill in it's early decades, starting about 1882, had a specifically Milanese identity with immigrants from the province of Milano. The St. Ambrose Church, modeled after the famous Ambrosian church in Milan, stands as a reminder of that period. The Hill is part of our Lombard history in this country.

Great short. However, the idea one gets is that Italy just pushed its people away. Well, we also know US mines and firms had agents all over Europe to woo cheap manpower. One is also inclined to believe that Sicilians built ther Hill. For once Lombards were the first ones there. E. g. Hill's Yogi Berra, Joe Garagiola, Midge Berra hailed from Cuggiono. Of course the blend Lombard-Sicilians made a memorable Hill, but Lombards were the first. Why conceal it? St. Ambrose is the patron of Milan.
--arnatese1, YouTube user

Obviously, this is a "feel good" segment.. about how everyone is happy and everything is working out for the best. The Hill, or any neighborhoods like it, are really now just small fragile communities in a tireless world of big money, big politics, and mass movements of people. The Hill reminds me of North Beach. As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
