constellation is so ancient that its true identity was lost by the time the Greeks formulated their Zodiac. They originally knew this constellation by the name, Engonasin, which meant the kneeling one. But later, this became Heracles (the Greek name for Hercules) triumphing over the dragon that guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides. This provides an echo of the Genesis tale of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden. And noting that Greek culture seems to have evolved around the same time that the Greek Jews surfaced in the region possibly both having some direct
relationship with Akhenaten, we gain a sense of the true nature of the corrupted symbols found in the „Judeo-Christian Tradition. Hercules, the kneeling man, from the Atlas Coelestis of John Flamsteed (1729). In the sky he is depicted with his feet towards the north celestial pole, his left
foot on the head of the dragon, Draco. Hercules wears a lions skin and in his right hand brandishes a club, his favourite weapon. Here his left hand is empty, but other illustrations show it grasping either the three-headed Cerberus or an apple branch. Heracles was also personified as one of the Gemini twins the other being Apollo, the Sun- god. The Gnostic Jesus
says in the Gospel of Thomas, that ye are my twin and true companion with his famous twelve labors through the zodiac area tale of suffering and redemption. And ultimately as one who attains Gnosis or the congealing of the soul, Heracles ultimately gains his immortality. A more detailed description can be found in The Starry Gnosis as follows Hercules, the one who wins his immortality from the gods, appears next in the story of the stars. This is an allusion to the ascendancy of the Prince to the throne the lower ego to the higher ego. Horus was an alien falcon-god out of Arabia who would succeed Osiris and become King of Egypt. Horus
the Hawk as a solar deity, was synonymous with the sky and the King of Egypt. The king became king by virtue of becoming the living Horus and he was only this when ascending to and making physical contact with the Throne. Cornwell informs us that the Egyptian throne was described as the mother of the king and that the Queen was the one through whom the royal bloodline descended. The throne was in this way, infused with the powers of Horus and we could speculate that the seven daughters of the Pleiades may also represent seven specific royal bloodlines. It is a bit curious that the other constellation attributed to this Atu is also male in gender. Lupus or Therium (hence, Therion) was also called Bestia in Latin and Ur-Idim (wild dog) to
the Babylonians. In the depiction of this constellation, the Beast is impaled on the Thrysus, a symbol of the Bacchanalia connected with the legend of Dionysis. This seems suggested in the coital position if we can
visualized a deep penetration, as if the male was impaled upon his own phallus. That the Thrysus is held in the sky by Centaurus, we have the suggestion of the man-beast. Also of note here, the Centaur is holding the Beast towards the altar, indicated
by the constellation Ara, as if about to sacrifice the Beast.
Lupus is visualized as being impaled on a pole held by Centaurus who is holding it out towards Ara, the altar, as though about to sacrifice it. This illustration is from the Uranographia of Johann Bode.
