The Westside Goths and The Fleecing of the Ram

Our leeward journey into the fiery Aries Ram is confabulated by mythology to represent the primary house of the zoon philosophy of masterful Roman gods and their struggle with emotions. Intertwined into this theology is the story of Jason and the Argonauts snatching of the fleece which is always stated as being gold in color along with David in the Bible and his visions, and a few others who cling to the mystagogues and their seizing stories.

So in fact, we have at least two stories overlaying each other, one concerning the golden ram and the transformation, and two, the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece. Both of these seem centrally located in the Aries Zoonology.

There is also the presence of a snake dragon or two that guard a tree of sorts, where the fleece is hanging from the branches. There are many connections to be made that show a pattern from Pisces to Aries and what we have uncovered. It is supposedly a nymph that sent the golden flying ram, but several different versions persist.

KRIOS KHRYSOMALLOS (or Crius Chrysomallus) was a fabulous, flying, golden-fleeced ram. He was despatched by the Nymphe Nephele (the Cloud) to rescue her two children, Phrixos and Helle, as they were about to be offered up as a sacrifice to the gods. The ram carried Phrixos all the way to Kolkhis, at the far end the Black Sea, where he instructed the boy to sacrifice him to the gods and place his fleece in the holy grove of Ares. Khrysomallos was placed amongst the stars as the Constellation Aries, and his fabulous fleece later became the booty in the quest of the Argonauts.

THE BIRTH OF THE GOLDEN RAM

Pseudo-Hyginus, Fabulae 188 (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Theophane, a most beautiful maiden, was the daughter of Bisaltes. When many suitors sought her from her father, Neptunus [Poseidon] carried her off and took her to the island of Crumissa. When the suitors knew she was staying there, they secured a ship and hastened to Crumissa. To deceive them, Neptunus changed Theophane into a very beautiful ewe, himself into a ram, and the citizens of Curmissa into cattle. When the suitors came there and found no human beings, they began to slaughter the herds and use them for food. Neptunus saw that the men who had been changed to cattle were being destroyed, and changed the suitors into wolves. He himself, in ram form, lay with Theophane, and from this union was born the Aries Chrysomallus (Golden-fleeced Ram) which carried Phrixus to Colchis, and whose fleece, hung in the grove of Mars [Ares], Jason took away."

It seems Neptunus is likely the Piscean god from the twelfth house carrying forward in this story. He is now transforming people at will. Thanks to the Theoi website, there is more about the color gold in some of the collected writings along with many other clues. It seems the fleece is not always considered gold at all, but sometimes it is white or purple. Poetry often reveals more about mythology than anything else we read.

Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 1. 280 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"[Orpheus sang of how] Phrixus stood, his temples bound about with fillets, of how he fled from the sinful altar veiled in cloud, and Athamas to Learchus, Ino’s son; of how the Golden-Ram bore the lad into the pitying waves, of how Helle sat grasping the horns. Seven times had Aurora [Eos the Dawn] fulfilled her course, and seven nights had Luna [Selene the Moon] completed in heaven, when Sestos, that from afar the waters seemed not to sunder from Abydos, began to part from its twin city. Then the sister whose name shall live for a time forsakes Aeolus’ son, saved, alas! in vain from her cruel stepmother. Still with weary hands she strains far behind the wet fleece, but the waves draw down her garments heavy now with the drenching water, and her hands slip off the smooth gold. What grief was thine, Phrixus, when rapt on by the whirling tide thous didst look back and see the face of the hapless maid as she called to thee--her hands only--then her hair spread out upon the waters."

The apples in the Garden of Hesperides are defined by the AHD as being in the western end of the Earth. There, two nymphs and the serpent dragon watch over a garden where golden apples are suppose to grow. There is a connection being made to the rising and setting of the sun from east to west. This would associate with our temple minds and the sun/moon relationship. The fillets mentioned above are like reveals in form structure that throw endless distinct shadows into your mind. You often see this when looking directly at gothic architecture, as the endless shadows seem overwhelming.

It also seems words like Kolkhis, Colchis, and cold, along with other curious words in the neighborhood reveal some relations that should be revealed now, such as the calcarine sulcos [2], and the calcification, along with catalysis of the occiput lobe of the brain where the grove dissolves. The colcannon is an Irish dish with cabbage and potatoes. Cocothar is a brownish red ferric oxide obtained from heating ferrous sulfate, used in glass polishing as a pigment. [Medieval Latin, from Spanish colcotar, from Arabic qulqutār, possibly from Greek Khalkanthos, copper sufate: khalkhos, copper + anthros, flower.]

The KHRYSOMALLOS, or the original entity connected with the journey from the cloud that was summoned into reality is now beginning to look like a quick fleece switcheroo between golden looking copper, purple and white flowers, and other anomalies. There is also the meadow saffron colchis which is a plant with a poisonous root often referred to as colchicum, genus Colchicum.

Well, it gets more curious every second. There was a furnace used in glass making called the calcar that would turn materials into frit, a calcification process. [Italian calcara, from Late Latin calcāria (fornāx), lime(-kiln), from Latin, feminine of calcārus, of lime, see CALCAREOUS.

Calcarious is a composed of Calcium carbonate, a chalky substance that reacts to acids releasing carbon dioxide. Even stranger, we have the Calceolate which is has a flower of a lady's slipper or heel. It seems when looking at the mountain range of the Caucasrus region, the heel is right about where Armenia is today. And why do we have feminine kiln's? Didn't know there was such a thing.

So, let's gather our thoughts. We have a slimy pole with a rotting root that the snake serpent Neptunus has roosted on it like some kind of god. Jason, also Iason, is supposed to steal a fleece that hangs on a branch of the tree which is often referred to as being oak. Now, we know what kind of seeds the oak puts out with their fancy caps. I am beginning to see a distraction method in play, how about you? Fulcanelli also talks much about the oak tree, I could talk about it too, later.

The chrysanthemum is pod like looking flower common to Eurasia and from Greek khrusanthemon, gold flower ; khrus-, chryso- + anthemon, flower, (from anthos). The chrysalis is a golden colored cocoon of a butterfly called a pupa.

You could immediately see a relationship to your metamorphosis considered in the temple structure and the fact we are all pupils. In the last chapter, we looked at the licorice pod, and now we see the chrysanthemum pod. The chrysolite is a topaz stone, which is blue, yellow, brown, or pink.

The kiln, the heating inside, the fornax and the thalamus, the calcification of the pineal and connecting tissue in the brain, the calcarine sulcos, and calcified brain stem all seem to apply in this topical ethos.

The Aries Chrysomallus when broken down becomes a golden colored eucalyptus. I have finally gathered most of the words related to hell and have them ready to post, although, there still may be missing words.

16-apocalypse-cell-cellar-coleorhiza-color-conceal-eucalyptus-hall-hel-hell-helm-helmet
-hole-hollow-holster-occult-et-kel-¹- to cover, conceal, save, Gemanic- *hajlō, underworld, (< "concealed place"), hallō, covered place or hall, Greek- koleon, koleos, sheath, Old English- hula, husk, pod, (< 'that which covers"), Old English- hole, a hollow, heath, secret place, Medieval Latin- hultia, protective covering, Latin- occultus, Latin- clam, in secret, CALYPSO, Greek- kuluptein, to cover, conceal, Old English- helm, protection, covering, OCCULT, Latin occulere, Suffixed form- *ke-los-, color, color hue, (< "that which covers"), CELLAR, storeroom, chamber, CILIUM, SEEL, Latin- cilium, lower eyelid

First, there is the word chrysomelid which is a family of beetles called the Colorado Potato beetle, family of Chrysomelidae, Greek- Khrusomēlon, quince : khrusa-, chryso- + mēlon, apple. Also, the quince is a western Asian shrub Cydonia oblonga with white flowers and hard apple-like fruit, plus an ancient city of northern Crete. The French word for quince is cooin. Right next to quince is quincunx, and this is four parts in a rectangle with a fifth in the center, totally five twelfths.

This is how we can begin to see how the fable of 2 bits equaling 25 cents was manifested, as the dictionary tells us that bits equal 1/8 of a dollar which equals 12.5 cents. This demeanor of use seems a way to dislocate the number 12 in some way.

The apocalypse definition in the AHD has a quote from Stefan Kanfer and I quote, "Stripped of its apocalyptic tone, what this amounts to is an advocacy of teaching names, dates, and places by rote." It may be that Kanfer is trying to tell us something about the roaring harp and bark and also something about metaphors we seem to be amiss about. Calypso is Greek- kalupsō, from kalauptein, to conceal. Calypso is also the tenth moon of Saturn. You should see the votive ram goat on page 10 of the book being used for reference, it is also here, opens in new window at Flickr.

I was able to locate an inscription belonging to Ushna servant of Ahaz which shows a beetle with specific words stating "dividers" in the amulet that was from the period of proclaimed eighth century Judah and II Kings 16 description of those elements. [3]

Lamentations 2:3-4
He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about. [4] He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

Comment: Israel is here the enemy, and God has drew back his right hand ripping off the horn of envy.

Lamentations 2:18
Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.

Comment: Notice the hint again about seeing apples and not fleeces? One thing should be stated about the Holy Bible and words like LORD, GOD, etc, as this is not always in proper context, and clearly depends on the interpretation coordinated with etymology and historical records. Much of the Bible is propaganda overlaying more propaganda, so in discerning Bible passages, we must look for the deeper clues and intuitional perspectives. It is my partial belief that the Bible does contain many worthy clues.

There is also the Gospel of Thomas that refers directly to this line of reference.

47) Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; 48) Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move Away,' and it will move away."

Daniel 8: 2-7
And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. [3] Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.[4] I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. [5] And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. [6] And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. [7] And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

Comment: The ram is coming from the east and that is envy, so in this interpretation, this story is quite interesting for this chapter. From verse 22, "four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power."

It also comes to mind the rampant arch which is similar to a ram who might have one horn sticking up higher than the other as mentioned in some of the parts of Daniel's vision. The rampant spelling is as close as it gets to rampart which is nested with a large group of derivatives that leads to thinking about repairing the inner structure, getting out of the hammock, and assigning one's destiny.

2 Kings 16:10 and 14
And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof. [14] And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

Jumping back to the original story and mythology, the ewe is one of the words with derivative links, and now we'll begin to look at all the alpha bits and words, at 12 and 1/2 cents, looks like we got one free letter out of the deal, totally 26 alpha mind keys.

2-ewe-ovine-et-owi- sheep, feminine, Latin- ovis. Germanic *awi-, the gown*

Now, let's look at awi as a derivative.

13-auspice-avian-aviation-aviculture-avifauna-bustard-caviar-cockney-ostrich-osprey
-oval-overy-ovum-et-awi- EGG, Indo European- æyo-, Latin- ōvum, egg, Greek- ōion, Old Iranian- *āvyaka-, diminutive of *avya-, apoc*

3-east-easter-aurora-et-aus- to shine, Germanic- *austrōn, a dawn-goddess whose holiday was celebrated at the vernal equinox, Latin- auster, the south wind, Greek- eōs, dawn, apogee breakline*

1-vernal-et-wesr- Spring, Latin- vēr (phonologically irregular), moral abundance*

4-west-western-visagoth-vesper-et-wes-pero- Old English- westra, move westerly, Latin- Visigothī, "West Goths", Latin- vesper, evening, Greek hesperos, evening, the moonlight*

Two things come to mind. One, the golden ram is more likely the golden sun rising in the east and the story has been twisted around Typhon's pole. The Osprey is the predator bird who is the one who may actually be getting the booty and fleecing of wet fish.

The whole idea of thinking about the coming Spring in a sideways fashion doesn't make any sense, as the Earth is titled, and it is this tilt that has changed, or a north to south movement from the wiggle in the Earth's apogee around the sun which in fact seems constant at the moment.

The Visagoths were the westerners who invaded the Roman Empire in the fourth century A.D. settling in France and Spain and their monarchy lasted until about the 8th century. They came from the Balkan peninsular and the eastern Goths came from north of the black sea and settled around Italy and reigning only until the 6th century. Both languages are mostly forgotten. Are these Germanic tribes, the Goths, the creators of much of the myth around the Roman Gods and the story of Jason and the Argonauts? It is known that the Goths from the east were called Ostrogoths and may have used a more archaic form of Gothic society. This may mean they lived near the Caucasrus mountains, today an oil rich immensely divided ethic hallway between the Caspian Sea and Turkey from Russia into eastern Turkey and Iran. Now, we should note the word Bisaltes and know that the Caspian Sea is a saline land-locked lake, now in danger of going dry, the largest in world, and the Black sea sits west of this mountain range above where Turkey is today. This seems an interesting analogy when looking at a geography map of the region.

So, it seems the Goths may have originally been settled very close to the Black Sea just north of the Aegean Sea, actually right east and south of where Italy is today. This might explain the Jason story that was closely associated with the Black Sea. After searching a bit more, I found a wonderful reference to the Jason story in the book, "The Secret History of the World and How to Get Out Alive" by Laura Knight-Jadczyk where she quotes Fulcanelli's idea of the urano-diurnal force having assumed the force of a star.

"The term "gothic" which imposed its rule on all the productions of the Middle Ages, from the twelfth to the fifteenth century, was not an inheritance of ancient Germanic peoples as may "experts" suppose, but was rather a production of the descendants of the Argotiers, or Agronauts. He then speaks of a journey to Colchis, the land of the Golden Fleece, and that art got is really art cot, or the light of the spirit. Fulcanelli then makes a most amazing remark:

[The fact is that there is neither chance, nor coincidence nor accidental correspondence here below. All is foreseen, preordained, regulated, and it is not for us to bend to our pleasure the inscrutable will of Destiny.]

Again and again we find Fulcanelli suggesting the existence of a hyperdimensional reality in which our own world is "embedded", and from which our reality takes its form as a shadow cast upon the cave wall described by Plato. As we continue to think in these terms, it becomes more and more apparent that the Great Work of the alchemists was essentially the process of becoming "free of the Matrix", described in alchemical and allegorical terms.
Fulcanelli then takes us through several remarks about the symbolism of the art cot, until he brings us to the ornamentation of the floors of cathedrals. Here, he connects us to Fomenko's ideas by remarking that the art of ceramics had reached perfection, and the use of multi-colored marble, in the manner of the Byzantine mosaics, was also utilized. The labyrinth at Chastres designated by Fulcanelli as La Lieue (the league) and Le Lieu (the place) is described, and finally he tells us that there used to be a scene of the combat of Theseus and the Minotaur at the center. He then remarks that the point is to make a connection between the mytho-hermetic meanings rather than to establish any connection to the famous constructions of antiquity, the labyrinths of Greece and Rome." page 333 [4] see reference notes

Laura has written and talked about Fulcanelli much and I have one of his books. This book above is highly recommended and has a great section on the Bible.

The story out of Athens about the Minotaur ram bull may be associated with the story in the Holy Bible concerning the ram and goat, they both are similar. The hero out of the past seems to be Jason in relation to the oak pole who was a thief, maybe even a Goth, or it may only be the spice for the mythic vēr without the nal. The votive Babylonian art reference here shows a post coming out of the back of the ram goat figure, but why? There is also 4 branches on each side, and two branches having a flower, while the other branches are like knives.

Next chapter, we'll get going on the clovers and pentameters along with some very curious vessels that are showing up in multiple places in the left hand, that all seem to have to do with a great work. It looks like Fulcanelli and the artisans of France he knew along with the Mayans may have all known each other's ways.
