Matriarchy

by Supreme Goddess La Reigna

The robust full figured Paleolithic and Neolithic ancient stone dolls of Women found by archeologists show that as far back as 25,000 BC Women were possibly worshipped as the creators of life. The study of chakras explain that most of our inner strength originates within our womb (this explains why Labyrinths symbolize the "womb" and to walk within one is not only to test one's intuition but also to "journey to the centre of the soul"). Breasts increase in size when a Woman is pregnant since they are producing and storing milk for the baby. This explains why men are attracted to larger breasts, and men are attracted to breasts in general because breasts provide food and nourishment by producing breast milk.

Women were worshipped as Goddesses in Sumer/Sumeria (southern Iraq), Babylon, Persia (Iran), Canaan (Israel, Jericho, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria), Anatolia (Turkey), Ur (near Persian Gulf), Jordan, Libya, Egypt, Italy, Greece, and other surrounding areas of Mesopotamia (Middle East), as well as in Europe.

In ancient Egypt the hieroglyphic symbol for "male" was a snake. This is why the Greek Minoan Snake Goddess held two snakes in Her hand, why the 13th zodiac Ophiuchus/Aesculapius/Serpentarius (later changed to a male then removed from the zodiac calendar) was a Snake Goddess, why the ancient symbol of the snake forming a circle and eating it's own tail represents man destroying himself, and why in the bible it states that Satan took the form of a snake in the Garden of Eden to talk to Eve. Satan (possibly Egyptian God Set, or Isis who's original name was "Au Set") had supposedly persuaded Eve to eat an apple from the forbidden "Tree of Knowledge", which She was later condemned for by God. This information was probably written to manipulate Women into not partaking in knowledge. Just another attempt from men to prevent Women from being educated. The snake was also used to symbolize man in the ancient symbol of fertilization; the egg with the snake curling around it. (The egg represents the egg in the womb of the Female. The snake represents the sperm from the penis, or the penis itself).

Having lived 2000 years before Mary and Jesus, Goddess Isis is known as the original "Queen of Heaven" and "Mother and Child". (The Greeks translated Her name from "Au Set" to "Isis"). She gave birth to Horus (the word "Horizon" was named after Horus). The English name Lisa is from Isis (L'isa) which is why many now believe that Leonardo Da Vinci's painting of the Mona Lisa was a combination of both Mary and Isis (Mona Lisa = Mon a L'isa/Amon L'isa). It would be surprising to learn why the Catholic church in Rome is called the "Sistine" Chapel, why the Catholic church in Paris was built on top of the ancient Temple of Isis, why the River in Thames UK was named after Isis, and why one chapter in the bible was named "Gene-Isis"! Both the Freemasons and the Rosicrucians (and possibly the Prior of Sion and the Illuminati as well) practice the worship of Isis.

Although Goddess Nut is said to be the "Queen of Heaven" and the Mother of Goddess Isis, Goddess Mut/Maat is also known as "Mother" and the "Eye of Heaven". (Perhaps they were one of the same?) Matriarchy, Mate, and Matrimony were possibly named after this Egyptian Goddess. She was one of many ancient Goddesses who were worshipped by both men and Women.

Bastet was the Egyptian Goddess who took the form of a cat. In ancient Egypt cats were considered sacred and were protectors of Women, especially pregnant Women. But now in modern times men in the medical field attempt to brainwash Women into believing that cats should not be near pregnant Woman as though cats could in some way make Women ill. Although they never warn Women to stay away from dogs! It is known that cats can often sense spirits and evil doers. This is why Wise Women (often referred to as "Witches") always keep cats as pets. Even the Minoan Snake Goddess had a cat on Her head! Whereas, dogs guard the gates to Hell/Hades and are believed to be messengers of the dead.

Women used to be worshipped and respected for their natural intuitive instincts. Those who remained virgins were believed to have an increased psychic ability and so became "Priestesses" or "Oracles". A Priestess of Isis held and used a ceremonial musical tool called a "Sistrum" (which the word "Sister" comes from). A Priestess was to remain a virgin. It was believed that to lay with a man would decrease Her power. This is why in Pagan Roman times, as Patriarchal rule had began to take over, Priestesses were reduced to being no more than Temple harlots and were used only as prostitutes. The men believed that by paying to have sex with these "Priestesses" he could gain Divinity (since it was believed a Priestess would lose Her power by having sex with a man). Thus men who were destined to become King would have sex with a "Priestess" and might even marry Her. Oracles were only Female and also had to remain a virgin. They were consulted by rulers and other important people for advice and divine guidance. They remained in temples away from the distraction of city life and crowds, such as the Oracle Temple in Delphi. To increase their intuitive abilities Oracles ate the leaf of the Laurel tree. Roman male rulers later wore crowns made of leaves from the Laurel tree in an effort to symbolize their own divinity as ruler. (It is easy to see how the words "Lord" and "Lore" may have originated from the word "Laurel").

It is important to know that in the bible where it mentions Mary Magdalene, it used to state that She was a Temple "Priestess", but when the bible was later edited and translated, it had been changed to read as "Prostitute" and "Whore". Many believe that Mary Magdalene had actually been a Priestess of Isis, and that when Mother Mary (who is believed to have been born on Isis's birthday of September 8) met Mary Magdalene in Magdala She decided the Priestess was a good match to marry Her son Jesus. In marrying a Priestess he would be considered Divine himself and so ready to become King. This belief in the Divinity of Priestesses also explains why in Christianity they wanted Jesus to be born of a virgin.

This is not the only time men decided to change the word "Priestess" to "Whore" in the bible. In Revelation it states that the "Whore of Babylon" will return only to be banished to the desert after giving birth to a child who is then devoured by a dragon. Obviously they are referring to a Priestess of Babylon, and the child is in more likelihood born in the Year of the Dragon and dies possibly within that same year (ironically 2012 is Year of the Dragon).

As men became more selfish and power hungry they began an increasing desire to rule and so started to conquer lands around them. As they conquered Matriarchal areas (beginning in Babylon, Sumeria, and Mesopotamia) they changed the Matriarchal laws and religions to suit their own selfish male egos. For example, when a male ruler (Scyrus of Persia?) conquered Iran he changed Goddess Isis's winged image and replaced it with his own image so that he was wearing Her wings. (An Islamic winged symbol also looks alot like an ancient symbol of Isis). Patriarchal marriage was then created, taking Women out of the temples and placing them in homes of men to become his Wife to serve him and provide him with sons. The Woman now had to take the last name of Her husband and She had no rights. Selfishness, ego, violence, destruction, and a male Patriarchal God was born. Pagan temples were destroyed and as a further insult churches were build on top of the temple ruins. The churches were run by men who named themselves as "Priests" and they insisted on being referred to as "father" as though they themselves were God. Women were allowed to work in the church also but were lowered in status to be only a "Sister" (rather than "Mother") and they worked under the authority of the Priests. The men now controlled religion, spirituality, and divine guidance.

Patriarchal male rulers put a great effort into destroying Sisterhood, which the temples once provided and encouraged. Since Women now had to rely on a husband or father for legal rights, finances, and safety, Women no longer networked. Instead Women now competed against one another jealously for the affection of a male in an effort for survival against the increasing patriarchy. Harems and polygamy were created. Older Women were no longer consulted for wisdom but were now considered a burden and an interfering Mother-in-law. Women were now told to disregard wisdom from older Women as being only "Old Wives Tales". Even virgins were no longer sacred but were now being sacrificed in religious ceremonies to male Gods.

During this transition period from Matriarchy to Paganism to Patriarchy, came Mary and Jesus; 2000 years after Isis and Horus. The similarities between the two are astounding. It is as though the Roman Pagans (who later converted to Christianity) had studied Isis and Horus and decided to base Mary and Jesus on them. Now the truth is beginning to resurface long after the Templars hid such secrets. It is interesting to know that the bible phrase "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" used to be "Father, Son, and Holy Mother". Even today the Jews and Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is Feminine. This would explain why apparitions and sightings of the Virgin Mother Mary are always of Her and never of Jesus or God. It is also interesting to know that whenever people have been visited by Her, She always announces Herself as the "Mother of God". Not Mother of Jesus, not Mother Mary, but the MOTHER of GOD (meaning that She created God). This sounds very much like the story, myth, or history of Goddess Nut. Similar to Goddess Isis, Goddess Nut is referred to as the "Queen of Heaven" who gave birth to God. The Christians created their "devil" to have horns. This might have been decided upon since Isis and Her Sister Hathor both worn the Taurus symbol of horns on their head. The three Earth signs are Virgo (the Virgin; Hermit), Taurus (the Bull; Heirophant), and Capricorn (the Goat; Devil). Thus, Virgin, horns, huffs. Isis was born a Virgo (September 8), Horus was born a Capricorn (December 25), and May (which is the month of Taurus) is also very significant. Although it is believed that 666 is the number of the devil, it also means "mankind". But if the numbers 69 represent Female + male=69, then could three 6's (666) represent three Women. Notice how the word "Omen" seems similar to "Women"?. Even though the Pentagram is now most often known as the wiccan star, it was originally the symbol of Venus. So alot of the patriarchal bible was written to steer people away from Goddess Worship and Matriarchy.

Since Jesus was from the Tribe of David and was next in line to be King, it was most likely expected of him to wed a virgin Priestess. So his Mother Mary found him a suitable bride; Mary Magdalene. (The word "matrimony" may have come from Goddess Maat, but the words "marriage" and "married" most likely came from the union of Mary Magdalene and Jesus.) It was the marriage that made Jesus's disciples so jealous of Mary Magdalene. They were probably his brothers and had hoped to be King themselves. But when Jesus married Mary, he was destined to be King. (This might also be why there was no further mention of his father Joseph.) This might have been the truth which the Templars found hidden in the wall of King Solomon's Temple, where the Freemason Jew (who had built the Egyptian pyramids) had hidden it. But perhaps it was not so much that Freemason, but King Solomon's relationship with the Pagan Queen of Sheba that truly gave King Solomon the knowledge of the true name of God.

Everyone knows that in the Jewish bible where it had once read AMMN it had later been translated to read as "AMEN" rather than as AMON. So could the true name have been Amon, as in Amon Ra, Sun God of Egypt? Or perhaps the name sealed in Solomon's Temple's wall had been "Isis".

Patriarchal "free"mason men first moved to United States in order to create a "New World" where they could rule without the rule of Queen Elizabeth I. Perhaps it was because She began to call Herself the "Virgin Queen". She was afterall born on September 7, only one day before the birthday of the Virgin Mary and Goddess Isis (September 8). But this may have put fear in some men who worried about another powerful Female following in the steps of Mary or Isis. So the men planned on creating their own world where they could rule. They deceived Queen Elizabeth I into agreeing with their plan by buying Her affections by naming the first state "Virginia" after Her. As these men stole the land from the Native Indians (and Mayans and Hawaiians) and began civilizing the "savages", these male Pilgrim rulers who feared a renewal of Matriarchy or Paganism referred to any Woman who would not obey them as "Witches" and burned them at the stake. This included any Woman who healed and cared for the sick, even MidWives. (So why is it that the Queen who rules England today, Queen Elizabeth II, manages to maintain a hold on Her throne? Perhaps because it is believed She is a Freemason.)

Obviously man does not know how to rule without destroying everyone and everything in his path.

The Jewish and Christian bible states that God is announced as "The Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end". Alpha means beginning; Omega means end. Alpha is said to mean "male" and "cattle", and Omega means "Female" and "abundance". Could men be fearing that this means God returns as a Female? This could explain why thru movies certain men in the media are attempting to brainwash men into trying homosexuality, why gay marriage is being legalized, and why so many movies want us all to believe that aliens are evil ("Men in Black", "The Day the Earth Stood Still"), that aliens will be coming to Earth as Egyptians ("Stargate", "Indiana Jones 4"), that ancient Egyptians are evil ("The Mummy"), and that the end of the world will be brought on by ancient Pagan Babylonian and Egyptian Female Gods ("Ghostbusters").

Do not allow anyone to brainwash you into believing such self-destructing chauvenism. you do not even have to believe My own viewpoints above. Believe what is in your own heart. In the end we will all learn the truth and all our questions will be answered.

Will there be an end of the world? I hope not. This is a beautiful planet that deserves to live on without the destruction of man. Hopefully 2012 and Armaggedon will only be a new beginning. Perhaps a return to Matriarchy?
