The following were sent to me from Laura Lee who received it from Sunwalker, an Indigo out of Canada, who received it from Mikeal Koch out of British Columbia. Notice the Crystal on the stakes going around the circles. And the orbs taken around the circle after the vortex opens. |

MEGALITHS THE CIRCLE OF OG Prehistoric astronomical activity is represented by a Stonehengelike megalithic circle and "Observatory" at Rujm-el-Hiri, near Yonathan in the Golan, the Westernmost sector of the historical Bashan plateau dating from the IIIrd Millenium BC. Old Testament Star worship is mentioned in the Old Testament as beeing common among the Canaanites*, but the Bashan inhabitants who built that Golan megalithic circle antedate the Canaanites. Very little is known about them and the presumably religous role of their edifice. To the IIIth Century BC Israelitis, they appeared as the work of giants (Refa'im, also Anakim, Emim, Zuzim), and this is probably the source of the legends about races of giants that had lived in Eretz-Israel prior to the Israelite conquest - including the characterization "a remnant of the giants" for Og, King of Bashan, in Deuteronomy and Joshua [3]. Indeed, the Rujm-el-Hiri circle is just one among many megalithic remains in the Bashan, probably at the origin in Greece and England (the "Giant's Dance" = Stonehenge The Circle of the Giants - (Circle of Og) Gilgal Refaim. 5200-year-old monument believed by some to have been built by the biblical giants, also called Nephilim. According to Barry Chamish : One giant king was Og of Bashan. The bible records that his bed was thirteen feet long. Bashan's territory included the Golan Heights. Sitting on the Golan Heights is the Israeli version of Stonehenge. Called Gilgal Refaim, the Circle of the Refaim or giants in English, this site consists of five concentric rings whose beauty can only be appreciated from above. Unfortunately, there was supposedly no way for the simple nomads of 5000 years ago to see the circles from above. The site is enormous. The outside circle has a diameter of 159 meters and over 37,000 tons of rock went into the construction of the complex. Two openings in the circles may have been used to measure the solar solstice and the rising of Sirius in 3000 BCE. The fact remains that Israeli archaeologists are totally mystified by the Gilgal Refaim. No other complex built in the Middle East resembles it and it predates the pyramids by over 500 years. The indigenous nomads of the time did not engage in this kind of megalith building, so outsiders were probably the builders. According to the Bible, the only outsiders living on the Golan Heights back then were giants. RETURN OF THE NEPHILM Click Here for Further Information Maybe it's a longshot, but no one has come up with a better explanation for Israel's current UFO wave. I believe the ancient giants may be coming home. I conclude on a somber note. The biblical giants were God's enemy and Israel's armies were the means to their utter destruction. There is a legitimate reason to contemplate the recent rearrival of giants in Israel with a good measure of dread. (Note: IM that was sent to Mary Sutherland Dec. 11,2005 I heard about it from a friend. It was said a giant was killed in Iraq by US servicemen and the body was shipped back to the US. There was speculation that it was one of the Grigori that still walk the earth and so forth. You know, the angels that made the Nephilim that didn't get sent to the chasm. QUOTE(AdvocateCR @ Nov 15 2005, 01:43 AM) <index.php?act=findpost&pid=931938> <index.php?act=findpost&pid=931938>) The word which is translated, "giants", in the King James version of the Bible is, in Hebrew, "Nephilim", which means, "Those who fell, or ... the fallen ones". Jude, the brother of Jesus describes them as "angels, having left their first estate in heaven". These fallen angels came to earth for a serious purpose. The "fallen ones" sought to merge with the bloodline of Adam, because of the promise to send a redeemer through Adam's kinsman. The Hebrew says that the Sons of God saw that the women were a fit "extension", for they sought to extend themselves into this realm from the spirit realm, as well as to extend themselves into the "children of the promise" the lineage of Adam. Satan tried to prevent the eventual birth, in the distant future, of the Messiah. Scripture uses other names to describe these degraded fallen angels and their descendents in addition to the word Nephilim, they are. . . . Rephaim - from the root rapha = spirits, shades Gen. 14:5 Anakim - race of giants Num. 13:33 descendents of Nephilim Emim - the proud deserters, terrors, race of giants Gen. 14:5 Zuzim- the evil ones, roaming things Gen. 14:5 Zamzummims - the evil plotters, Deut. 2:20 Zophim - watchers, angels who descended Num. 23, distinct from "holy watchers" aligned with God Sepherim - the many. . . . The book of the Jubilees remarks that Jared or Yeh-red, an Old Testament patriarch, was so called because in his days the angels descended upon the earth - Yaw-rad "descend". It is interesting to note that "Jordan" comes from that same root word denoting "descent, coming down or falling" - Yar-dane "the place of the descent". Jordan, "place of the descent", is located in the ancient boundary of Israel. Israel is currently a major location for sightings, and the fallen angels in disguise as "aliens". The Book of Enoch explains that the Sons of God descended first onto the mountain called Hermon which in Hebrew means desolation, in the land of Jordan the place of the descent. The rebel angels intended to thwart God's plan for the earth by destroying the descendents of Adam. Satan's goal in organizing the nephilim / human hybridization program was to pollute the bloodline that would produce Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Kinsman Redeemer. Now that it is so close to the end times, satan has orchestrated human/rebel angel interaction on a grand scale. The plan is now to prevent any flesh from being saved. By gentically manipulating human genetics, whether through the guise of "alien abduction" or by supplying willing mortal accomplices with the proper technology... there is currently being created humanoid hybrids who are not-quite-human. These gentically altered humans are no longer Sons of Adam, and no longer able to be saved by the Kinsman Redeemer. The second wave of hybrid "nephilim creation" is satan's last effort to destroy all Sons of Adam, so that none can be redeemed when Jesus Christ returns at the End of the Age. |
Fall Equinox Ritual Julia Phillips Firstly ours: being traditional Wiccans, this time of year is when the God departs to the Otherworld (or Underworld), and is one of the most profound moments of the male mysteries. In our cycle, the God takes his wasting wound at Midsummer, dimishing in his strength as the sun grows weaker. He begins to look within. Where his energies had previously been focused outwards towards physical growth, between Midsummer and the Autumn Equinox, he turns inwards, and begins his inner journey towards that greatest of all mysteries. We symbolise this by having the God and his male counterpart (normally Father/Son) meeting in ritual combat. It is their realisation that Dark and Light are one and the same that initiates them into the mystery of their deepest Selves, and thus they pass beyond this mortal realm. In our tradition, we teach that each one of us is both male and female, and so this a very profound moment is shared by everyone present, male and female, as each of us is able to comprehend the mystery at this time. The ritual that we wrote for this year is as follows: Circle cast in usual manner, and Elemental Guardians invoked. Blessings of God and Goddess upon the Circle. Old God (OG) and Young God (YG) stand in the centre of the circle, back to back. The coven circles around them, chanting an invocation to the Horned God. (We used the one which begins, "By the flame that burneth bright 0 Horned One...") After the "Io Pan" chant, everyone stops, raises their arms, slowly brings them down again, and then lets go of their neighbours' hands. OG starts to slowly thread his way in and out of those forming the circle; as he moves, he is obviously old and wounded. The YG starts to shadow him, keeping always on the opposite side of the circle. The OG begins to be aware that he is being followed, and tries to see who follows, but the YG remains hidden. At last, the OG turns and confronts the YG: "Who is there!" "It is I, your son and shadow" "Why do you follow?" "Because your time is past, old man, and I will now take your place." "Old I may be, but I am a better man than you shall ever be! Meet me if you dare, and I shall prove it to you!" This is not what was actually said: OG and YG spoke sponaneously, and their interchange was a highly charged, combative exchange, which had the hairs standing up on the back of my neck! This gives you some idea of the kind of thing that happened, though. They meet in combat, and fight. After a period of fighting, they realise that fighting is not the way, and in a moment of true reconciliation, they join as one, and kill each other. This is the moment when the male mystery is revealed; the reconciliation of all those different aspects which have been explored individually throughout the passage of the Wheel of the Year. This is the culmination, and a moment of incredible sanctity. A Priestess walks around the circle saying: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter; all things pass; all things fade; all things die. As she does, she extinguishes each of the Quarter candles, leaving only the two altar candles alight. The HPS, wearing a black veil and robe, picks up the God candle, and stands in front of the altar. She extinguishes the candle and says: Farewell 0 Sun, ever returning light The hidden God who yet remains, Who now departs to the Land of Youth Through the gates of death, To dwell enthroned the judge of Gods and men The Horned Leader of the Hosts of Air The two Gods stand silently, and move slowly and with dignity towards the west, where a veil hangs across a doorway. They part the veil, and leave the circle. Behind the veil, one holds a candle, to symbolise the passage of the sun to the Underworld. (In the ritual, in the almost-dark, this had the appearance of the etheric bodies rising from the dead, and silently moving to the veil - it was very effective!) The HPS continues: Yet even as he stands unseen without the circle, So dwelleth he within the secret seed; The seed of newly-reaped grain, the seed of flesh; Hidden in earth, the marvellous seed of the stars. In him is Life, and Light is the Life of Man, That which was never born, and never dies, Therefore the Wicca weep not, but rejoice." The HPS replaces the now unlit candle upon the altar, and picks up the chalice of wine, and the dish of cakes. She moves to stand in front of the veil, and says: HPS: I bring to you an offering: wine from the fruit, and food of the earth. She places both in front of the veil. HPS: And now I would ask of you a question. OG: You may ask. HPS now asks any question of the Lord of the Underworld. OG replies to the question as he is inspired to do. This part is totally spontaneous, and assumes that the one playing the role of the OG is able to "channel" directly from the Gods, or is skilled in divination (which is probably one and the same thing!). When OG finishes speaking, HPS thanks him, and takes a sip of wine, and a cake. She returns to her place, and each person in turn repeats her actions, beginning with the placement of an offering, and ending with the sip of wine, and taking a cake. When all have visited, and spoken with, the Lord of the Underworld, the HPS stands before the veil once more: HPS: My love, I cannot see you. OG: Nor I you - but come to me, for I am lonely for you. HPS: I cannot! For I fear.... OG: Find me - seek for me - I yearn for you, and your love HPS: No, they need me, I cannot leave them OG: No, they do not need you, but I do - come to me! HPS: I cannot. OG: Now is not your time, but soon, soon you will make the journey, and then you and I shall meet, and love again. But this time, deeper and more lovingly than we have ever known before. (Again, this was not quite as we spoke it, but is the gist of the exchange. To say there was nary a dry eye in the house would be an understatement. This incredibly emotional and moving moment is almost impossible to describe.) HPS thanks Quarter Guardians, and finishes with the Blessing Prayer. All leave the Temple. |
