The Ancient Path of Life Magic

Göbekli Tepe so far. Pillar 43 on the left and pillar 18 on the right

The two most important pillars found at Göbekli Tepe so far. Pillar 43 on the left shows the Ancient Pagan Paradigm and pillar 18 on the right shows that pillars represented ancestral powers as shown by its human representation of hands over stomach above a loincloth and belt.

Göbekli Tepe Pillars 43 (Network & Vulture) and 18 (Ancestor) (9,600-8,800 BCE)

(July 3, 2022) Not all ancestral pillar stones have carvings but pillar 43 has an extensive set illustrating the Ancient Pagan Paradigm as a background to a drought indicated by dying birds.

Pillar 43 is known as the vulture stone because of its vulture image in the left middle position. That central section represents the middle connective layer of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. The three large bricks making up its ceiling is the sky-shell.

Right below the sky-shell and mixed in with the eagle vultures is a network represented by a fishing net similar to that shown below. According the Alphabetic Akkadian Mediterranean texts the eagle-vultures trim the network to direct the fertility fluids flowing within its links from the source layer to the proper place on earth. In the image, the eagle-vulture is holding the masculine sun in one wing which represents the connective power of the network and its fluids, sunlight, heat, and rain (when hidden).

To the right of the network are Sacred Ibis which because of the shape of their beak and black head represent the feminine crescent moon against the night sky (it was popular in Egypt). The crescent moon power is the feminine complement to the sun and it guides the eagle-vultures and hence the flow of the fertility fluids. Significantly these ibises are lying down dead or weak indicating the crescent moon power has failed or is weak. To the right of the birds seems to be a dead snake. Snakes representing the power of life and death in ancient mythologies.

The image section below the connective layer represents the manifestation layer of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. While partly hidden it contains a scorpion which represents paralysis. This would indicate that the life powers on earth are paralyzed due to the problems with the high powers.

The later agricultural settlement period at Gobekli Tepe is represented by “Level II” having remains belonging to 8800-8000 BCE. It consists of buildings with rectangular rooms made from stone walls and terrazzo ﬂoors. It had less elaborate ritual places consisting only of large stone rings. Some of these buildings had smaller pillars being only 1.5 meters (5 feet) tall. This smaller scale indicates a smaller and more local population was supporting the rituals at this time instead of the larger population from festival gatherings (see Calleti 2020 for the latest update)

Knowth Ritual Macehead (Scepter) from Boyne Valley Ireland

This polished flint macehead was found on September 1, 1982 in the eastern tomb at Knowth in the Boyne river valley. It was found near the door to the right room under a large shale floor tile. The central main mound in which it was found was dated by carbon 14 to be about 2800 BCE. The smaller eastern mound is assumed to be of a slightly later date of around 3000 BCE.

4,300 BCE European Fish Net

The image shows a northern European fish net which was preserved in a bog. It dates to 4,300 BCE and is made from twigs of dogwood. The Gobekli Tepe net has same linear style but with fanned webbing between the lines indicating a more flexible twine was used. (From Don’s Maps at https://www.donsmaps.com/toolsmore.html

Çatalhöyük Building 80 Life Network Painting (6,500 BCE)

Painting of the life network on wall with many spaces filled in with the rectangular pattern seen in the 4300 BCE European Fish Net. This is good evidence that the Ancient Pagan Paradigm was being followed at this time.

Minoan Network Seals (1,600 BCE)

Seals labels "2" show eagle vultures playing with the network. Seal 1b shows an eagle vulture on the right manipulating the sun. Seal 3b shows an eagle vulture manipulating water or wine storage.

Unicorn Bull Showing Life Network on Left

Unicorn bull seal (H97-3433/7617-01) dating to about 2200 BCE which is at the transition between Harappa Periods 3B and 3C.
In front of the unicorn bull is an image of the life-growth network pouring fertility fluids into the under-dome sky-shell as indicated by the stars surrounding it. The under-dome sits upon a pedestal such that together they form a chalice. In Sumerian this corresponds to the goddess Erishkigal who after lordification was also called Ningal meaning “lady of the chalice” from NIN.GAL.

Unicorn Bull with Two Sky Shells on Left

This is a rare unicorn seal from Harappa has both the upper and lower sky-shells. This seal was found in the central area of Mound E and dates to Period 3B or early 3C, around 2450-2200 BC.
Notice the stars around the lower sky-shell but not on the top yet the top has a fish net pattern.

Zebu Bull on Indus Valley Seal

This zebu bull seal shows that the unicorn bulls are something unique and not some generic bull representation. The unicorn bull seals are always paired with the divine chalice unlike here.

This is a Philistine ritual bowl from Qubur al-Walaydah which is identified by its text style and theme. This bowl dates to the early Iron Age 1A period (Lehmann and all, 2010) which puts it at 1160 BCE soon after the Philistines settled the coast of the Levant.

Aegean (Philistine) Drinking Bowl Text at Qubur al-Walaydah in Levant Supports Life-Growth Priests - 1140 BCE (Levant Text 4)

(August 9, 2022) The text on this simple ritual bowl is promoting the activities of the life priests.

Translation in Akkadian (Left to Right)

ṣu mu gâ’u |
a pu abu |
ṣu du

In English

Fertility-fluid activity is breaking-out the nourishments |
Those are opened by the fathers (life priests) |
Life-power activity …

Fertility fluids in the life network trigger Yahu to manifest the various life forms. These network channels are opened up by the life priests.

This bowl was found during a 1977 rescue dig by Rudolf Cohen at a small 2 hectare (80 meters in diameter) settlement at the head of Nahal Besor (Wadi Gaza) as shown in the image at the top of this page. This location suggests that it was originally a military outpost and trading center between the Philistines and the Israelites.

This bowl dates to the Iron Age 1A period (Lehmann and all, 2010) which ranges from 1190 - 1140 BCE. This was the period of the 50 year great drought which ended the Bronze Age. While the archaeological remains at the beginning of this period are qualitatively poor like this bowl by the end of this period prosperity had returned such that the Philistines were able to import overseas trade goods and create more colorful pottery (the bichrome ware).

This small settlement had a central building which was a fortress-like mud-brick building having outer walls of 1.5 to 2 meters and standing two stories tall. (Lehmann and all, 2010). The floors were cobble and earth. Yet sometime after the Sea People took over the area an earthquake occurred causing the walls to fall inward. This debris preserved the artifacts then in the building. Besides various types of bowls a flint scythe was found with a shiny gloss on the blade indicating it had been used in nearby agriculture production. This shows that agriculture was returning and explains the focus of the text. After the earthquake a poor squatter’s settlement was built on top of the ruins.
