| They That Dwell On Earth Shall Wonder... When They Behold The Beast That Was...
Above the dragon in Krohg’s mural, a phoenix rises, casting off his old form. Behind the Phoenix, people emerging from the dark depths of the caves surrounding the dragon approach a door with many golden stars - further identifying the phoenix as the Asterion or “starry one” of myth. Continuing with the myth of Apollo at Delphi, it was he, as the Nachash, who symbolically changed his image in preparation for his future expression in human form by coming as the slayer of his first manifestation, the serpent-dragon, Python. As Apollo, he plans to create his version of “heaven on earth.” Of course, the center of the earth is not really just a place marker, but it is also a time marker and a concept; it is where the beginning of all that is to come via the knowledge of good and evil sprang forth. Apollo at Delphi is similar to the legend of St. George.” The understanding of the serpent raising himself up as Apollo was understood by the late Bill Cooper (whose work Behold a Pale Horse we are providing FREE in the mega-giveaway this Tuesday here). He explains that the international flag of the Scottish Rite is the United Nations Flag and that it depicts the nations of the world encircled by the laurel of Apollo. |
