A Christ For Each Age & Hidden Teachings

I was asked to talk more about the Serpent Bloodlines leaders for each astrological age.

They were not like Christianity has made Jesus out to be. They were just chosen as the leader figure for that age, they were alive at the beginning of the new age and were venerated for the rest of that age. Then a new one was chosen for the next age. They were real people of the Serpent Bloodline, those who reached Tau and were the current King or Queen of the Order. 

Jesus is not the Tau for the age of Pisces, his wife Mary Magdalene is and the Tau for the age of Aquarius will be whoever is the Tau, or spiritual King or Queen, at the beginning of that age. I am the current head of the Order, but I won't be here for the beginning of the new Age, so someone else will fulfil the role.

I must mention that these leaders are not considered Gods or Goddesses in a religious sense, they are not worshipped. They are venerated as great teachers and spiritual leaders who in their own lifetime help many on their own path to self-realisation.

They pass the true teachings from the hidden stream down through the ages, from Tau to Tau. Creating an unbroken line from the most ancient Serpent Bloodline families. Secrecy has been required throughout history because if discovered by the Eagle Bloodline, the families were burnt at the stake and their teachings taken by the Eagles and hidden away from everyone else. All copies of anything written down or recorded are destroyed. This is why a network of Bloodline families throughout the world have always had Taus who guard the teachings and if anything should happen to the main head Tau, others would be there to continue the work.

The most powerful teachings of the Serpent families were hidden away so they would survive. Imagine discovering ancient secrets that could change the way you see the world. What if there was knowledge that could unlock the secret of life? Wouldn't you want to know more about it?

In 1945, in the sands of Egypt, workers unearthed a treasure that would astonish the world, 13 leather-bound manuscripts revealing the lost teachings of the Gnostics. These teachings reveal to the world our belief in salvation through mystical knowledge, but the secrets were buried by the Roman Orthodox Church, which sought to destroy our writings and our followers.

So, what did these ancient manuscripts reveal? Among the most intriguing finds was the Gospel of Thomas, a collection of 114 secret sayings of Jesus. Unlike the familiar stories from the Bible, these sayings are like a direct line to Mary Magdalene's teachings, offering insights into the power of thought, emotion, and the hidden language of the heart.

In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus said, "When you make the two one, you will become the sons of man, and when you say, 'Mountain, move away,' it will move away." This saying hints at a profound truth, that within us lies the power to change our reality, to move mountains with our words and beliefs.

These Gnostics were not Christians as is often portrayed in the mainstream, far from it. They saw Jesus and his wife Mary Magdalene as great teachers, but they did not worship them and their writings offered insights that differed significantly from mainstream beliefs. However, their views were seen as a threat by the Roman Orthodox Church. In a ruthless campaign to establish religious uniformity, the church sought to erase Gnostic teachings. Many Gnostic writings were destroyed, and their followers faced persecution, often being burned at the stake.

If you're fascinated by mysteries from the past and how they connect to our present, I invite you to be part of our community by subscribing to this channel and joining our Discord.

The year 325 AD marked a pivotal moment in this historical saga. Emperor Constantine, a powerful figure in the early Christian church, convened the First Council of Nicaea. One of the council's major outcomes was the consolidation of Christian doctrine and the formation of what we now recognize as the Bible. During this process, a staggering amount of information was either excluded or heavily edited. Scholars estimate that around 45 books were either removed entirely or altered significantly.

This decision reshaped the Christian tradition, leaving out numerous teachings that might have offered a more diverse understanding of Jesus' and Mary Magdalene's messages. For centuries, these teachings remained hidden, hinting at a different kind of leader, a female one, who taught about the interconnectedness of all things and the power of human emotion. For instance, in one of the sayings, Jesus states, "Whoever finds the interpretations of these sayings will not experience death." This and other sayings suggest a deeper, mystical approach to spirituality, emphasizing personal enlightenment and inner peace.

The discovery of the Nag Hammadi library, which included the Gospel of Thomas, reignited interest in these forgotten teachings. Alongside other significant finds like the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Coptic texts, these manuscripts provide evidence that much valuable information was lost to the general public over the centuries. The re-emergence of these texts has allowed scholars and spiritual seekers to piece together a more comprehensive understanding of early Gnostic thought.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Gospel is its emphasis on self-discovery and inner wisdom. The text starts with a powerful declaration: "These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymus Judas Thomas recorded." This introduction sets the tone for a series of teachings that challenge the reader to look within for answers.

A central theme is the concept of enlightenment through personal understanding. For example, in verse 1, Jesus says, "Whoever finds the meaning of these words will not taste death." This statement suggests that true knowledge and spiritual awakening can lead to eternal life. It encourages individuals to seek deeper truths and connect with their inner selves.

Another key saying is found in verse 2: Jesus said, "Let him who seeks to continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will be troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over all." This passage highlights the transformative journey of self-discovery. It acknowledges that seeking the truth can be a challenging and unsettling process. But ultimately, it leads to a profound realization and empowerment.

It also explores the idea of unity and harmony within oneself. In verse 48, Jesus teaches, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move from here,' and it will move." This saying underscores the power of inner peace and balance. When we reconcile conflicting parts of ourselves, we can achieve extraordinary things.

Verse 106 expands on this idea: "When you make the two one, you will become the sons of man. And when you say, 'Mountain, move away,' it will move away." Here, Jesus speaks about the unification of dualities within us. By merging our inner contradictions and achieving harmony, we tap into a profound source of power and potential.

It often emphasizes the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of all things. In verse 77, Jesus says, "I am the light that is above all things. I am all. From me, all came forth, and to me, all attained. Split a piece of wood, I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." This profound saying suggests that the divine presence is everywhere and in everything. It encourages us to see the sacred in the mundane and recognize our connection to the divine.

Moreover, it challenges conventional religious practices and encourages direct, personal experience of the divine. For instance, verse 113 states, "His disciples said to Him, 'When will the kingdom come?' Jesus said, 'It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.'" This teaching reveals that the divine realm is not a distant place to be awaited but a present reality to be realized.

By exploring these key concepts, we see that the Gospel of Thomas offers a unique and profound perspective on Jesus' teachings. It emphasizes personal enlightenment, inner peace, and the recognition of the divine within and around us. These teachings challenge us to embark on a journey of self-discovery, to seek deeper truths, and to find the divine presence in every aspect of our lives.

One of the core philosophical messages is the power of thought and emotion in shaping our reality. This idea is reflected in the teachings that emphasize the importance of inner harmony and unified intention. For instance, when Jesus speaks about making the two one and moving mountains, He is highlighting the immense potential that lies in aligning our thoughts and feelings. This concept suggests that our inner world has a direct impact on the external world, a notion that resonates with many modern spiritual and psychological theories.

Another significant insight is the emphasis on self-awareness and personal enlightenment. The sayings encourage us to seek within ourselves for truth and understanding. This introspective approach contrasts with the more external, ritualistic practices often associated with religion. By turning inward and exploring our own consciousness, we can access a deeper connection with the divine. This idea is particularly evident in the saying, "Whoever finds the meaning of these words will not taste death." suggesting that true knowledge and spiritual awakening can transcend the limitations of our physical existence.

It also challenges us to see the divine in all things. The saying, "Split a piece of wood, I am there; lift up the stone, and you will find me there." urges us to recognize that the sacred is present in every aspect of the world around us. This perspective fosters a sense of reverence for life and encourages us to look beyond the surface to find deeper spiritual truths. It aligns with the philosophical notion that all of creation is interconnected and that by understanding this connection, we can experience a greater sense of unity and purpose.

The philosophical insights also extend to the nature of prayer and intention. Traditional views of prayer often involve asking for things from an external deity. However, the teachings in this gospel suggest that effective prayer comes from aligning our thoughts and emotions with our desires, essentially creating a state where we feel as if our prayers have already been answered. This approach to prayer is about cultivating a mindset of gratitude and certainty, which can lead to a more profound and fulfilling spiritual practice.

In exploring these philosophical teachings, we see that they offer a rich and transformative understanding of spirituality. It challenges us to look within, recognize the divine in all things, and understand the power of our thoughts and emotions in shaping our reality. These insights not only deepen our spiritual awareness but also provide practical guidance for living a more conscious and intentional life.

One of the most compelling lessons from these teachings is the power of our inner world. By aligning our thoughts and emotions, we can influence our reality in ways we never thought possible. This understanding encourages us to take responsibility for our own spiritual journey, seeking enlightenment and inner peace through self-awareness and introspection. It reminds us that the spiritual journey is not about waiting for a distant promise but about realizing the divine presence that surrounds us every day.

And of course, one of the most troubling aspects of these teachings, which upsets the Eagle Bloodline so much, is that Jesus was explaining these things he had become aware of since becoming illuminated after performing the Great Rite with his wife Mary Magdalene, who herself was the head Tau and leader of the family Order.

So, what do we take away from this exploration? The message is clear. Our thoughts and emotions hold immense power. The divine is ever-present in our lives, and the spiritual journey is one of personal discovery and inner harmony. These teachings encourage us to live more consciously, embracing the sacredness of each moment and the interconnectedness of all things.

Let us carry these insights with us as we continue our own spiritual journeys.

Let the wisdom inspire us to seek deeper understanding, cultivate inner peace and recognize the divine in all aspects of our lives.

By doing so, we not only honour the teachings of Mary Magdalene but also enrich our own spiritual experiences.

Thank you for joining me on this journey through the hidden teachings of Serpent Bloodline.

I hope you found valuable insights and inspiration in our discussions.

Secret Lion Symbology

Lion symbology has been seen all over the world since ancient times even though these creatures only inhabit certain areas of the planet. Here I am going to take a look into the mysteries surrounding its symbolism worldwide, bearing in mind all the while that the lion often represents the age of Leo and for more on that please see my article about the constellation of Leo because I cover more ancient depictions there and don't want to repeat them, it includes the most ancient depictions found in caves and the association with other gods and goddesses not covered here.

When thinking about lion symbology Mithras stands out as one of the most intriguing.

Mithras

Mithras is a deity associated with the ancient Roman mystery religion known as Mithraism, which flourished in the Roman Empire from the 1st to the 4th century CE. Lions play a significant role in Mithraic iconography and symbolism.

Mithras has origins in Persian mythology where he was known as Mithra, a god of light, truth, and covenant in Zoroastrianism. Mithra was a protector of truth and an enforcer of contracts, associated with the sun and known for his role in battling evil forces.

The worship of Mithras was adopted by the Romans, who adapted and expanded the mythology to form their own unique version of the cult. Roman Mithraism retained some elements of Persian Mithraic worship but also incorporated Roman religious and cultural practices.

Mithraism was a mystery religion, meaning its practices and teachings were secret and known only to initiates. The rituals typically involved stages of initiation and elaborate ceremonies held in Mithraea, underground sanctuaries that symbolized the cosmos.

The central icon of Mithraic worship is the depiction of Mithras slaying a sacred bull, known as the Tauroctony. This scene represents the god performing a cosmic sacrifice that sustains the universe.

A central figure in Mithraic iconography is the lion-headed god, often depicted with a snake coiled around his body, wings, and holding keys and a sceptre.

This figure, sometimes interpreted as Aion or Chronos, is associated with time, eternity, and the cosmos. The lion-headed god represents the eternal and cyclical nature of the universe.

The lion's head symbolizes power, dominion, and the cosmic order. The coiling snake represents time and renewal, and the wings signify transcendence and the movement of time.

In the Mithraic initiation rites, there were several grades or levels of initiation, one of which was the 'Leo' or Lion grade. This was one of the higher levels, symbolizing a deeper understanding and closer connection to the divine.

The Lion grade was associated with the element of fire and the purification of the soul. Initiates would perform rituals that included symbolic acts of purification and trials that tested their courage and spiritual strength.

In many Mithraea, lions are depicted as guardians, often flanking the entrance to the sacred space. These lions symbolize protection and the safeguarding of sacred knowledge.

The lion’s role as a guardian reflects its association with vigilance and its ability to ward off evil influences, ensuring the sanctity of the Mithraic temple.

In Mithraic theology, the slaying of the bull by Mithras is seen as a cosmic struggle between light and darkness. The lion-headed figure is a symbol of the temporal order and the eternal struggle against chaos.

The lion represents the forces of order, strength, and continuity, combating the forces of disorder and entropy represented by the bull’s sacrifice.

Mithras was often associated with the sun god Sol Invictus, the unconquered sun, symbolizing light and truth. The lion, being a solar symbol in many cultures, reinforced this connection.

The lion’s association with the sun in Mithraic worship highlights its role as a symbol of divine power and enlightenment, linking it to the eternal and unchanging nature of the cosmos.

Mithraism faced suppression with the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire. As Christianity became the state religion, Mithraic temples were often destroyed or converted.

Despite its decline, elements of Mithraic symbolism, particularly the use of lions as symbols of power and guardianship, persisted in later European art and iconography.


I will now talk about the lion symbolism from various areas and cultures and give the more mainstream version of their meaning. At the end, I will finish with an explanation of the true hidden meaning.


Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300 BCE – 1300 BCE)

The lion appeared in various art forms, possibly symbolizing strength and protection, influenced by the lion's presence in surrounding regions.


Ancient Egypt (c. 3100 BCE – 30 BCE)

Sekhmet

Lioness-headed goddess of war, healing, and the sun.

Sekhmet was believed to protect the pharaohs and lead them in warfare. Her fierce nature symbolized the destructive power of the sun and the capability for both harm and healing.

According to Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet’s rage almost annihilated humanity when she was sent by Ra, the sun god, to punish mankind for their rebellion.

Maahes

Lion-headed god of war, protection, and weather.

Maahes was known as a defender of the pharaoh and protector of the innocent.

Maahes was associated with the fierce desert winds and often linked with Sekhmet as her son or companion.

Sphinx

The Great Sphinx of Giza, with a lion’s body and a human head, symbolizes strength and wisdom, guarding the pyramids. It was actually built in the age of Leo.


Mesopotamia (c. 3500 BCE – 500 BCE)

Lamassu

A mythical creature with a human head, the body of a bull or lion, and wings.

Lamassu served as a protective deity, often placed at the entrances of cities and palaces to ward off evil.

The lion aspect of Lamassu represented strength and guardianship.

Ishtar (Inanna)

Goddess of love, beauty, sex, fertility, and war; often depicted with lions.

Ishtar was often shown standing on lions or in the company of lions, emphasizing her power and dominance over nature.

The lion represents the goddess's control over chaos and her ability to protect and destroy.


Hinduism

Durga

A warrior goddess, often depicted riding a lion or tiger.

Durga is the embodiment of feminine power and the destroyer of evil forces. Her lion symbolizes courage and the power to overcome obstacles.

Durga was created by the gods to defeat the buffalo demon Mahishasura, with her lion serving as her loyal mount in battle.

Narasimha

The lion-man avatar of Vishnu.

Narasimha is known for his role in slaying the demon Hiranyakashipu, who was immune to death by man or beast. By appearing as a half-lion, half-man, Narasimha bypassed the demon’s boon.

Narasimha represents divine protection and the triumph of good over evil.


Ancient Greece (c. 800 BCE – 146 BCE)

Heracles and the Nemean Lion

Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology) was known for slaying the Nemean Lion as one of his twelve labours.

The Nemean Lion’s skin, impervious to weapons, became a symbol of invincibility and divine protection.

The Nemean Lion was a formidable beast terrorizing the region, and its defeat by Heracles signified the hero's strength and bravery.

Chimera

A fire-breathing creature with the body of a lion, a goat's head on its back, and a serpent for a tail.

The Chimera was a fearsome monster defeated by the hero Bellerophon.

Lions in Greek mythology often represented challenges that heroes must overcome to achieve greatness.


Ancient Rome (c. 753 BCE – 476 CE)

Lions symbolized the emperor’s power and were often depicted in public architecture and monuments.

Lions were used in gladiatorial games, symbolizing both the might of Rome and the dangers of the wild, untamed world.


Chinese Mythology

Shishi (Guardian Lions)

Often called "Foo Dogs," these lion-like creatures are depicted in pairs guarding the entrance to temples and homes.

Shishi are protectors against evil spirits and bad luck, often seen as guardians of sacred spaces.

The lion in Chinese culture symbolizes strength, dignity, and authority.

Bi Xie

 A mythical creature with a lion's body and wings, known for warding off evil spirits.

 Bi Xie is often used in funerary art to protect tombs and the souls of the deceased.

Lions in Chinese culture are seen as protectors and symbols of bravery and power.


Islamic Art and Culture

Symbol of Strength: Although typically avoiding figurative imagery, lions in Islamic culture sometimes appeared in poetry and stories as symbols of bravery and nobility.


Lion of Judah (Christianity and Rastafarianism)

In Christianity, the Lion of Judah represents Jesus Christ, signifying his role as a leader and protector. But this goes much deeper, because we are not talking about the Jesus Christ of the age of Pisces, we are talking about the Christ figure from the age of Leo, a completely different person who was also of the Serpent Bloodline.

In the Bible there are more than 150 references to the lion, many of them descriptive, metaphoric, and allegorical. To the lion were compared the tribes of Judah and Dan; Balaam said of the Israelites: "Behold a people that riseth up as a lioness, and as a lion doth he lift himself up"; the mother of the kings of Judah was compared to a lioness and her sons to lion cubs. David, of whom it was said that his "heart is as the heart of a lion", declared in his lament over Saul and Jonathan that "they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions". This combination of the lion, the king of the beasts, and the eagle, the king of the birds (the biblical reference is to the vulture), is very common in later Jewish art, particularly on the Holy Ark, and occurs in Ezekiel's vision of the lion, the ox, the eagle, and the cherub.

Note that the Eagle was not referencing the Eagle Bloodline, the age of Leo was before that emblem was taken by them.

In Rastafarianism, the Lion of Judah is associated with Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, regarded as a messianic figure.

The lion embodies the strength and leadership of a divine or royal figure, representing righteousness and justice.


Heraldic Lions (Europe)

Lions appear prominently in European heraldry, often depicted as rampant, passant, or couchant.

They symbolize the noble virtues of courage, strength, and vigilance.

Heraldic lions often denote a family's or nation's historical significance and valour.

Lions continued to symbolize royal power and authority, appearing on coats of arms, crests, and flags.

The lion became a prominent symbol of British royalty, symbolizing the monarchy’s strength and sovereignty.


National Symbols

The lion continues to be a symbol of British strength and resilience, featured prominently on the royal coat of arms and other national emblems.

Countries like Finland, the Netherlands, and Sri Lanka also use the lion in their national symbols, each reflecting its own cultural values of bravery and protection.

The use of animals, particularly lions, as symbols of power and nobility in heraldry dates back to ancient times, but it was in the medieval period that they became prominent in Europe. Lions were considered symbols of courage, strength, and royalty.

Heraldry became formalized in the 12th century in Western Europe, with the lion emerging as a popular emblem among European royalty and nobility due to its associations with majesty and martial prowess.

The rampant lion was adopted in Scotland as part of the broader European heraldic tradition. The symbol likely arrived in Scotland through cultural and political connections with other European monarchies.

The lion rampant, in particular, represents a lion rearing up with its forepaws in a threatening posture, a design that emphasizes power and readiness to defend.


Royal Adoption and Evolution

William the Lion (1165–1214): The lion rampant first became a royal symbol during the reign of King William I, known as William the Lion. His seal, used around 1165, depicted a lion rampant, establishing the motif's association with the Scottish monarchy.

Alexander II and III: The symbol continued to be used by subsequent Scottish monarchs, including Alexander II and III. It became more stylized and formalized, incorporating specific elements such as the double tressure flory-counter-flory, a border decoration featuring fleur-de-lis, which further reinforced its regal significance.


Symbolism and Significance

The lion rampant is a potent symbol of Scotland's sovereignty, strength, and independence. It signifies the country’s royal lineage and its enduring spirit of defiance against external forces.

The double tressure around the lion is thought to represent protection and majesty, with the fleurs-de-lis possibly signifying an alliance with France or echoing early Christian symbols of purity and the Virgin Mary.


Celtic and Pictish Influences

Prior to the adoption of the lion rampant, Scotland's symbolic imagery included various animals significant in Celtic and Pictish traditions, such as boars and eagles. These symbols represented attributes like bravery and spiritual protection.

The lion, a symbol absent from native Scottish fauna, was embraced as a more universally recognized emblem of royal power and authority.


Mythological Resonance

The lion has mythological connotations of guardianship and nobility, often depicted in tales and legends as a protector of sacred lands and treasures.

In Scottish folklore, the lion rampant might also be seen as an embodiment of the fierce and indomitable spirit of the Scottish people.


Royal Standard of Scotland

Today, the lion rampant appears on the Royal Standard of Scotland, which is used by the monarch in Scotland and represents the monarchy's presence.

It is also incorporated into various symbols and emblems of Scotland, reflecting its continued importance as a national and royal emblem.


Esoteric Symbology and the Serpent Bloodline

The lion symbolism has always been that of strength and endurance, gods, and goddesses representative of the Leo age. The tarot card strength also features a lion and it symnbolises male energy and the element of fire. In the Bloodline families, it was used on coats of arms to represent the male lines. Secret symbols were used so we could easily know who had Serpent lineages in only their male ancestry, female ancestry or both. The red lion was used because red is representative of fire and is a masculine element and lions themselves are a masculine symbol because of their relationship to the Sun. So if you see lions in other colours they are often just decorative and in more modern times even red lions have been used by those unaware of their true symbolism. As with many of our old traditions and symbols, they have been eventually taken by others and used for things unrelated to the Bloodline families.

European royalty who are unaware of the Christ figure from the age of Leo might link it back to King David, however, King David was not the beginning of this very ancient lineage back to the Serpent Bloodline families, who for every astrological age choose one of the spiritual royalty to lead them. The one chosen in the age of Leo was named Judea and his son was David. Later on, King David was also given this name due to the tradition of passing down the names.

Some things are passed on by Eagle and hybrid families simply because they think it is a tradition, they are completely unaware of the true meaning of the lion in their own heraldry.
