Lilith Unveiled-Part 1
MAD- www.nwowatcher.com
4/29/06

Murky depths await us where we now tread. The path leads us into the darkest regions of myth, though we have a torch of knowledge, and a compass of understanding to guide our way through the carnivorous caverns and lurking jaws of time and space. Just as angels, and saviors, and prophets of the world have found their universal sanctuary in the mountainous cave structures of history, so too have the beasts of the shadows hid and calculated their moments of influence and manipulation upon an unsuspecting world. Among the variety of tools, artwork, weaponry, pottery and sculptures attributed to our ‘Cavite’ ancestors, so too do we find a large number of carven idols designated in honor of the shining goddess figure. Hundreds of statues have been found around the world which depict veneration of an icon of the Cosmic Mother. From caves in Turkey, Persia, and Europe, all the way to India, Japan, and Australia; it is apparent that the cave dwelling people worshiped the symbol of the goddess. Before the early societies of agricultural herdsmen from 10,000-5000BC, our ‘primitive’ civilization was based upon religious ideals dedicated to a variety of creatures in the animal kingdom, ancestor worship, the respectful honoring of death and rebirth, as well as the universal deities of the lunar goddess and the solar god. The representations are that of human, anthropomorphic, or androgynous forms, and represent the material connection to time, essence, and rebirth of the cosmic cycles. The planets and stars themselves were worshiped in constellations of astrological significance, as astrology is one of the eldest of the world’s religions. Twenty thousand years ago, fertility cults were among the first organized civilizations coming down from the mountainous regions.
