Lupus the Wolf | paradoxa's Blog

‘Benjamin shall rapine as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour his prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.’ Gen. 49 v. 27.

The constellation Lupus can be seen in woodcuts situated between Scorpio and Centaurus. In the founding myth of Rome, the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus are suckled in infancy by a she-wolf. Later, Romulus kills Remus in a fight and goes on to found Rome. He later is placed in the sky by his father Mars and from then on is known as Quirinus, a Sabine word for spear. Hence, Lupus is shown being ‘speared’ by the Centaur. The borrowing of this story by the authors of the ‘old testament’ is one more proof of the latter’s much later compilation. However, the mystery religion is a ‘shape-shifter,’ constantly camouflage-ing itself down through the eons, and with slight variations in exoteric rendering.

Although ‘Benjamin’ is likened to a plundering wolf, ‘he’ is connected to morning and night. His prey is Venus, the ruling planet of Libra. Venus is an evening star (really planet) when east of the sun and morning star when west. In the morning, Venus was called ‘the Huntress,’ hence the connection to ‘the wolf,’ morning and ‘prey.’ The evening Venus shared her love to all. Virgo, Queen of Heaven is very closely associated with Libra as she is with all the constellations. She is both virgin and mother, every year leading off the procession of ‘the Heavenly host’ as Virgo, giving birth to all that follows and, since her ruling planet is Mercury/Hermes/Thoth, the messenger of the Sun, she is impregnated by ‘ghostly’ light from the father. Her first offspring is Libra the scales.

Jacob glorifies the agility of Naphtali. This is a reference to Mercury, the winged and fleet-footed messenger of the ‘gods.’ The compilers of the Old Testament had to camouflage Mercury/Hermes since every other people understood this symbol, therefore the hind, later changed to a stag, was substituted.

Simeon and Levi are united in the blessings. They are the two fish of Pisces, often shown tied together by the tail, sometimes one fish over the other and pointing in different directions. This symbol predominated through the latter part of February and first two weeks of March. “In their anger they slew a man,” is the killing of ‘Old Man Winter,’ as ‘they digged down a wall,’ is the wall between winter and spring.

This sign was unique in its quadruplicity, having Zeus/Jupiter as ruling planet along with Neptune. Because of these ‘influences,’ Mercury, the messenger had a difficult time getting through. To simplify matters, Pisces signifies unsettlement in weather. It gave farmers an indication of a smooth transition from winter, or a prolonged winter. In modern astrology, Neptune only is ruling planet, Zeus/Jupiter being busy elsewhere.

The ancient Greeks claimed the two fish represented Eros and Aphrodite who were caught in their amour by Typhon, the serpent with a hundred hands. He chased them to the Euphrates where they transformed into fish in order to escape.

Interestingly, Typhon was the offspring of Ge of Gaea (Mother-Earth) and Tartarus. Gaea, Eros (sexual desire) and Tartarus were the first creatures born from chaos. Gaea, while virgin, created and bore Uranus(sky) Ourea(mountains) and Pontus(sea).

In Free-masonic lore, the ‘G’reat ‘A’rchitect of the ‘U’niverse created everything from the Thought which became Will(to be) which culminated in Order or Command to exist. GAU is a hidden pronunciation of Gaea, mother of matter, the material in existence. Tartarus was said to have his region of power as far beneath the earth as heaven was from earth. He was the keeper of the infernal regions (the creative subconscious). He was the keeper of the prison where Cronus and other Titans who had warred with the gods were kept.

Pisces, which deliberately appears uninteresting, is rich in esoteric meaning. Simeon has a connection to ‘fish’ as does Simon-Peter who was a fisherman. Those of the ancient esoteric tradition, who scoured the world for young boys to train as leaders in ‘the Great Work’ were referred to as ‘fishers of men’ and ‘Fisher-Kings.’ Their Kingfisher symbol was widely used all over the ancient world. Levites were the priestly brotherhood, subdivided into three tiers. Their ‘job’ was to dictate ‘the law.’ They acted as bureaucrats more importantly, tax-collectors. From Levi (to lift or raise) we get ‘levee’=rising, levy as to levy taxes. It also transposes into lever which is Jack (Jac-ob). The myth of Jacob’s birth gives a clue;

He attempted to usurp his brother’s position as first born from the womb by catching Esau’s heel and ‘pulling or raising’ himself up. He later cheated his father into giving him the blessings of a firstborn. By cunning and guile he succeeds. Jove, Yehove, Jew-Peter enjoys the show and vows to take care of him all of his life. Esau is represented as a man who enjoyed life, hunting and the things life has to offer. He dressed in animal skins and loved freedom. Esau represents nature. Jacob represents the System of Civilization where a conniving elite, through deception and skilled technique had the right to dominate and prosper from the labour of others, these being the ‘profane.’ The profane live in ignorance and ‘darkness.’ After the ‘blessing’ Jacob becomes the son of god, his twelve sons the ‘twelve tribes’ founders. His name changes to Israel, Isis-Ra-el. Jacob is the ‘Sun’ going through the twelve signs of the Zodiac. He is a very ‘BRIGHT’ guy.

George killing the dragon has its counterpart in all ancient cultures. It has always been the symbol for intellect’s victory over ignorance. The mystery religion has the saying, ‘To perfect that which was left imperfect.’ Masons of 33 degrees and under take this to mean the ‘perfection’ of themselves. At higher levels they literally mean that through Science (understanding nature) they will be able to create physical immortality for themselves. “As the spirit is immortal in the above (heavens) then so below,” meaning those who have proved worthy will be given immortality in the physical. Having proven their natural god-hood, they will declare (they already have) their right to rebuild the profane into more efficient slaves.
