In this episode we explore the meaning of mother worship and why it has been passed down from ancient origins. The pagans believed in it, the Egyptians, and Babylonians. The tradition passed onto other cultures in many forms. But it involves witchcraft, Sun Worship, Mother Nature, Earth Worship, and magick rituals.
In America we take a day to honor mothers specifically for their nurturing care as mothers play an important role in our lives since birth. The official observance came when Anna Jarvis conceived it in honor of her own mother and petitioned that others honor the sacrifice mothers made for their children.
While many honor mothers at this time, the pagans held festivals and rituals in honor of mother figures as Deities and worshipped them as goddesses.
Origins come from legends of Semiramis and her influence into Babylonian worship, fertility worship, and as the origin of derivatives of goddesses of other cultures.
Contemporary goddesses like Isis of Egypt relates. Other names given were Ishtar, Ashtar, Ashtoreth and its derivatives. Isis married her brother Osiris when he was killed by his brother Seth and chopped into 14 pieces, in which his male member was not found. The conceived child Horus overlooks the land in honor of his father’s member, which is revered in Egyptian culture. The picture is the goddess holding her child, which came the image of the Madonna.
The male phallic, known as the obelisk, became a status symbol of fertility worship as the female organ represented by the dome unites. This male/female principle of fertility worship becomes the energy of witchcraft and magic ritual uniting the two.
In this manner the contrasting forces united creates an energy magic that occultists use for power, forecasting, and casting spells. Still practiced today in hidden and less obvious sophisticated form. These opposites are represented in male/female, black/white, dark/light, red/blue, good/bad, etc.
However the practice originates in paganism and corrupts the worship of God the Creator for reverence to the created. And the usage of forbidden arts to gain power outside the permissive boundary God gives or allows. Therefore it is counterfeit to God’s will. Even though many results may come like healing, forecasting, and other beneficial properties. Witchcraft is based on this principle, as is Kabbalah and other occult crafts.
The usage is tapping into the demonic spiritual realm and using demonic spirits masked as benevolent, but only mean to enslave to their forces and discourage from God.
The goddess worship based on paganism revers the worship of the created. It relates to nature worship. Mother Nature has been given to personify Gaia, goddess of earth. Earth Mother based on Rhea of Greek mythology that has led to observances to earth in Earth Day recognition.
The Sun is honored in Egyptian mythology. Sun god worship has given personification to the Sun as deity, especially in Ra or as the offspring of Osiris. But it is reduced to the All-Seeing eye, which is the illuminated overlooking eye, that represents Lucifer, the Light-Bearer. So pagan worship, mother goddess worship, fertility rituals, paganism can all come from one source, Lucifer who tempted man through Eve to rebel and partake in the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil to seek wisdom, knowledge and power without God’s ordinance. The origin of occult knowledge is rooted in the Genesis 3 account.
