Mystic astrology - Know thyself!!!
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedThe Ancient Greek aphorism "know thyself" is transliterated: gnōthi seauton; and was the first of three maxims inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. In Latin the phrase, "know thyself", is given as nosce te ipsum or temet nosce. Philosophically, it means know what you can do and know what you are here to do. And one of the ways in which this can be achieved is via Mystic Astrology, an esoteric branch of astrology that is little known. ====================== CREDITS REFERENCES AND FURTHER DETAILS 1 An excellent Introductory video, [that covers some of the points made in our Introduction video in more detail, but also goes farther by covering the houses and their meaning as well as all the Planets and Signs of the Zodiac] can be found using this link Introduction to Astrological Interpretation: Planets, Signs, Houses, Aspects, Rulerships https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiF59UBAIJ8 2 The full description of all the ways in which one might ‘know thyself’ is provided on our website via this link https://allaboutheaven.org/suppression/know-yourself/155/main 3 The link between Fibonacci numbers and the Zodiac is explained here Fibonacci Numbers As A Basis of the Zodiac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QQU9lq91ok There appears to be a link between the polarity of contrasts and the Zodiac 4 Finally this video describes the John Coltrane [also on our website] discovery that there is a link between the ‘Music of the Spheres ‘ and the Fibonacci series of numbers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZNKwbFoftw PAINTINGS AND PHOTOS Cornelis de Vos - Triumph_of_Bacchus John Reinhard Weguelin – Bacchus and the Choir of Nymphs (1888) <a href="https://www.freepik.com/vectors/background">Background vector created by rawpixel.com - www.freepik.com</a> VIDEO EFFECTS AND FOOTAGE Episode from "Matrix" -- "Know Thyself" voudeaux https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=svfDdcPmELk Zodiac Horoscope Free HD Footage | Royalty Free | No Copyright Free Creative Footage Library - no copyright https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=lbT1skm0uts Zodiac Signs Animation | Astrology background | Magic Zodiac Signs Bundle | Animated Horoscope MANTRA ADCOM https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=AoBiivtQTHM Astrology Horoscope Zodiac Graphic Abstract Animation | Free Video Background Loop Footage Free Video Motion Background https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=kyuw2xl_8dk moon-night-moonlight-sky-mystic, no copyright videos, free footage Free Stock Video Footage HD 4K Download https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=L7_z6l5Rfu0 Alone Man - Top 11 Videos - No Copyright Video - Free Stock Footage NoCopyrightVideos ( Free Stock Footage ) https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=9pt4GYQh_dU stock footage free | girl thinking | Free stock footage Free Stock Footage & Music https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=30dKFvM5Ddk No copyright video footage | no copyright thinking video clips | free video footage for fact videos Footagez https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=M7u83HVOIfM MUSIC 00:00 Zodiac Structures _ NoMBe ( No copyright music ) Audio Library You Tube Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDNJMRaPo-I 01:49 Poisoned Rose - Aakash Gandhi 03:55 Zameen - Movement of Earth - Aakash Gandhi 05:48 Six Seasons - Unicorn Heads 13:36 Inspiring Emotional Music - Melody Of My Dreams (Copyright Free Music) Whitesand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si89RLFreaw53 views -
Introduction to Constellations
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedA constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived outline or pattern, which has then been given a name. In the days when people could neither read or write, and thus there were no books to learn from, maps to use for navigation, and few paths to follow, the sky was used as a blackboard, and constellations were used as a means of teaching lessons and navigation. The origins of the earliest constellations go back to prehistory. Different cultures and countries adopted their own constellations, some of which even lasted into the early 20th century. Constellations have changed significantly over time. Many changed in size or shape. Some became popular, only to drop into obscurity. Some were limited to a single culture or nation. Now, they are all internationally recognized, named by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and cover the entire celestial sphere. But knowing the older constellations helps us understand the archaelogical meaning of many ancient structures and helps date ancient structures. In this video we provide the link between just some of the numerous constellations that fill the night sky and their mystic symbolic meaning, using Ptolemy's writings for example the Almagest, and Aratus's Phaenomena. Our website has more detail of the symbols and Constellations themselves.

Lizards, Salamanders and the Constellation Lacerta
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedThere are over 7000 species of lizard and they can be found on every continent except Antarctica. They are fascinating, beautiful, diverse, but are not as a whole symbolic. But there is a lizard that has its own constellation - Lacerta - that is important enough to still be one of the 88 modern constellations. So in this video we will take a look at lizards, and especially Salamanders. And we will also take a look at the role Father Athanasius Kircher - a Jesuit - and the museum he created in the Roman College, played in convincing Johannes Hevelius that he had seen "Salamanders" scurrying about in the sun. ========================== CREDITS REFERENCES Alchemy - https://allaboutheaven.org/sources/alchemy/190 Johannes Hevelius and His World, Astronomer, Cartographer, Philosopher and Correspondent - Institute For The History Of Science, Polish Academy Of Sciences Copernicus Centre For Interdisciplinary Studies - Warsaw 2013 PAINTINGS The constellation Camaeleon (Chamaeleon) as depicted in Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr's Atlas Coelestis, ca. 1742.

The symbolism of Eagle, double-headed eagles and the Constellation Aquila
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedThe word Eagle describes any bird of prey able to hunt large vertebrates. The symbolism appears to be straightforward. The Greeks chose to use the symbol of an eagle in the story of Prometheus. But all is not as it seems even in this apparently simple story. And what about the double headed eagle? In this video we explain how the advance of the Mongol Empire and the "Golden Horde" spurred Ivan III Vasilyevich (1440 - 1505) and his wife Sofia Paleologue into promoting the idea of Moscow as the true successor to Rome, with the double headed Eagle, the Symbol of Orthodoxy, as its symbol. ============================== CREDITS PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS Renee Magritte – The Present Rubens – Prometheus Bound Prometheus Brings Fire to Mankind (1817) by Heinrich Füger Prometheus depicted in a sculpture by Nicolas-Sébastien Adam, 1762 (Louvre) Prometheus - Theodoor Rombouts (1597–1637) The Torture of Prometheus, painting by Salvator Rosa (1646–1648).

The Symbolism of the Shield, Nordic Cross and the Constellation Scutum

This video tells the little known history of the Byzantine empire, the Great Schism between the Roman Catholic church based in Rome and Orthodox Christianity based in Constantinople, and how Jan Sobieski, a king of Poland repelled the barbarian hordes from the gates of Vienna in 1683, earning a constellation in the sky. ======================= CREDITS For more details of the Norse mystic movement see our website https://allaboutheaven.org/sources/norse/143 PAINTINGS Arminius says goodbye to Thusnelda - , Johannes Gehrts (1884) Varusschlacht, Otto Albert Koch (1909) Hermann (Arminius), by Augustus Tholey Alphone Mucha - The Slav Epic cycle No.18: The Oath of Omladina under the Slavic Linden Tree (1926) A chalice from the Trésor de Gourdon from around 524 Captain Walter Croker horror stricken at Algiers 1815 Laureys a Castro – A Sea Fight with Barbary Corsairs 1681 Louis-Félix Amiel – Charlemagne empereur d'Occident_(742-814) The Baptism of Kievans, a painting by Klavdiy Lebedev The siege of Constantinople in 1204, by Palma il Giovane The Entry of the Crusaders into Constantinople - Eugène Delacroix, 1840).

The Symbolism of the Cat and the Constellation Felis
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedFeral cats range freely and avoid human contact. Domestic cats are valued by humans for companionship. But much misinformation is spread about cats. Did you know, for example, that there is no scientific evidence that cats are an effective means of rodent control? And were you aware that hunting behaviour in cats is driven by instinct and not by hunger. Furthermore, because cats are "obligate carnivores" - cat food must contain meat or fish. But did you know game animals, such as springbok from Africa and kangaroo from Australia are being used as pet food. And many ships now factory farming the seas, are catching fish destined for the cat food manufacturers, not for humans. So this video may well debunk a number of myths about cats. So where is the Symbolism? Cats were associated with shamanism and Freya in particular. Freya's carriage is said to have been pulled by cats and she has been depicted flying on the back of a large striped cat. But it is not just myth. Cats are blessed with unusual powers. We end the video by describing the alarming abilities of Oscar - a real life cat. ====================== CREDITS PAINTINGS John William Godward – Idleness, and the Favourite Jérôme de La Lande by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, c. 1769 Arthur Rackham – The Cheshire Cat Lucien Levy-Dhurmer – The Sorceress Michael Parkes – The Initiation Salvador Dali – Alice in Wonderland Jheronimus Bosch, The Pedlar (circa 1494-1516) [detail].

The Symbolism of the Giraffe and the Constellation Camelopardus
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedThe giraffe is the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant on Earth. Researchers have long been intrigued by the fact it could lower its head to drink and raise it again without appearing to suffer any side effects. Why doesn’t the high pressure of the blood gushing 6 foot to its head, followed by the low pressure when it raises it way back up again, make the animal dizzy or faint? And then they discovered its extraordinary design. The entire animal is a collection of valves, pumps, fascia ... indeed a miracle of engineeing. Many thousands of years ago giraffe were common, vast herds roamed throughout the whole of Africa. Today desertification, the increase in global population and appalling levels of hunting for "sport" have reduced their range to national parks in east and southern Africa. As a consequence, the giraffe is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as vulnerable to extinction. The giraffe's species name is camelopardalis (or camelopard) and Camelopardalis is a large but faint constellation of the northern sky. Symbolically, its reputation for reaching for the sky, to reach the top most branches, linked it to the spiritual path and the tree of life. Furthermore, giraffes have good eyesight meaning their height and eyes enable them to see miles. In essence they are "far seeing" - and someone who is symbolically "far seeing", is called "a seer". ===================== CREDITS PAINTINGS Salvador Dali – various Burning giraffe paintings Julia Cassells – Giraffe Beata-Beatrix-by Dante-Gabriel-Rossetti Sidney Hall - Urania's Mirror - Camelopardalis - the Giraffe Johannes Hevelius – Camelo Pardalus VIDEO EFFECTS AND FOOTAGE Giraffe | No copyright video https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=3ukTRSmojgs Giraffes Animals Collection https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=ZKL87WUPAks Insane Giraffe Hunting Headshot || Headshots Dotcom https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=kEbIq7NLyN0 MUSIC 00:00 At The Shore - The Dark Contenent by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100770 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ 01:10 Artifact - The Dark Contenent by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100324 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ 02:38 Tribal Affair - SYBS 04:42 Arid Foothills - The Dark Contenent by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100437 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ 06:58 Sinister Cathedral - Asher Fulero 08:31 Seasons - Telecasted 10:23 Allégro - Emmit Fenn 12:08 Stars and Constellations - Sarah, The Illstrumentalist 13:40 Oman Groomer - Mini Vandals 14:49 At The Shore - The Dark Contenent by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100770 Artist: http://incompetech.com/23 views -
The Symbolism of the Orion constellation
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedOrion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator. It is one of the 48 Greek constellations listed by Ptolemy and is visible throughout the world. Despite being called Orion in western astronomy, it has many other names and a wealth of pictorial representations. But there is value in studying Orion for this very reason, lest we forget how constellations evolved. In this video we will take a look at the Indian and Chinese astronomical systems, and the system standardised under the International Astronomical Union. Every system has its own myths and stories – and there is no use trying to reconcile them, they will never reconcile because they are different systems. But some myths have crossed systems and got adapted on the way. The Greeks once had a very influential community in India [the Yavana] for example. In Greek mythology, the Ceryneian hind, took the form of an enormous female deer, that snorted fire. And in India it became the thunder and lightning that brought the monsoon rains. The Chinese system does not even mention Orion, it only mentions the three stars of Orion’s belt. So by studying Orion we get a far better idea of how constellations were named and evolved, and how the wonderful storehouse of myths and legends was devised, to help people remember star patterns and how they changed. It should help to bring home just how important the night sky was to populations who relied on the stars for navigation during hunting and migrating. And it shows how inventive and imaginative people were in those days with no paper, no writing, and only one’s memory and the night sky. ========================= CREDITS WEBSITE Our website contains a great deal of information on the hero archetype in a generic sense, as opposed to its use for the Constellation.

The Symbolism of the Bear and the Ursa constellations
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedWhy is the Bear such an important symbol - both in the past and now? We use bears in everyday expressions, in finance and we have toys - the teddy bear. We use their image in Coat of Arms. But the symbol seems to have so many contradictory meanings. On the one hand Russia is looked on as a bear - humorless and aggressive, whereas Paddington, Pooh and Fozzie bear are all benign. Fozzie is even funny. All bears in nature are big, strong and ferocious with fearsome claws. Their young are closer to the idea of a cuddly bear, but given the way they have been treated, we might be forgiven in assuming even baby bears would fight back if they were hunted and used in bear-baiting, forced dancing or the Asian bile bear market. And once we look hard at the symbolism we find that the bear is not even a symbol of Russia and has never been one, at least officially. The official symbol of Russia is a double-headed eagle. So an apparent muddle. But to understand the real symbolism of a bear we need to go way back and look at the Constellations of Ursa major and Ursa minor. And here the immense importance of the bear becomes apparent. ======================== CREDITS PAINTINGS [public domain] The Dancing Bear by William Frederick Witherington, 1822 A nomadic ursar, a Romani bear-busker.

The Symbolism of Doves and the Constellation of Columba
MMystic Symbolism ExplainedThe Dove is a symbol of Love and especially faithful and devoted love. In Roman mythology, for example, the turtle dove was one of the emblems of Fides, the goddess of trust and good faith. Columba is a faint though small constellation. It was originally named Columba Noachi ("Noah's Dove"), referring to the dove that gave Noah the information that the Great Flood was receding. Although the symbolism of The Dove has remained constant, the symbolism has been somewhat ruthlessly exploited by a number of ancient goddesses more traditionally associated with sensuality and sex - even war - not faithful and devoted love. Inanna, Ishtar, Sauska, the Greek Aphrodite, and Venus all used the symbol to attempt to give the impression their love was a dove's love and had nothing to do with sex and power. But the Roman goddess Venus was partnered with Mars, and Mars was principally the god of war and conflict. Gradually over time the dove was looked on as a sacrifice. Faithful and devoted love must be sacrificed in the name of sex, advance and power. But the symbolism of the dove stayed constant. It represented faithful or devoted love - not sensual love or love involving "erotic passion" and indeed it is only faith and devoted love that bring you "safe passage". =========================== CREDITS PAINTINGS Edward Hicks, American - Noah's Ark 1980s Noah – Frank Wesley Indian Christian art J E Millais - The Return of the Dove to the Ark (1851) Catrin Weltz Stein – various Rosie Simpson – SOAA, Instagram rosiephoto1 https://rosiephotophotography.wordpress.com Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale – various Edward Coley Burne-Jones – Fides A-pair-of-turtle-doves-_-Richard-Bennett Temple-of-aphrodite - betty-eich Venere_che_scherza_con_due_colombe-Francesco_Hayez Joseph-Marie Vien – Venus Showing Mars her Doves Making a Nest in his Helmet 16th-century manuscript drawing of Muhammad in the cave with Abu Bakr Francois Boucher – Venus playing with two doves Embroidered_bookbinding_13th_century_Annunciation A 19th-century painting of the 1177 Battle of Montgisard by Charles-Philippe Larivière Grant Wood - American Gothic Symplegades, illustration for The Heroes Constantine Volanakis – Argo Argonauts-panel-painting - Lorenzo-Costa VIDEO EFFECTS AND FOOTAGE Crow - Sound Effect https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=HqbiKGEm-m0 Beautiful Pigeons and Dove Bird Stock Footage https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=7BzRQ9-MBqo Holy Spirit in a form of Dove https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=7d7t1GFEUFw Free Stock Videos - Dove and Dove Flying ( No Copyright Video ) https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=GwgCYxJealY GREEN SCREEN Dove birds Flying effects HD No copyright | chroma key dove pigeon https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=bJh4oqY1PoQ FREE HD Green Screen FLYING CROW SLO MO https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=XjETGkGSRN0 Dove background 2 https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=LolkFTI8Wcs Pigeon - Free sounds 4 you https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=pxRDRbVS4Qs MUSIC 00:00 Tucson - Silent Partner 01:36 Mourning Dove - Zachariah Hickman 03:26 Those Things Are More Fun With Other People - pATCHES 06:52 Eastern Thought by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100682 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ 10:39 Moonlight Sonata (by Beethoven) - Beethoven 15:12 Tucson - Silent Partner57 views
