This time of year Jews around the world are singing the part of the Torah that involves the story of the "exodus". This wall art from an ancient Egyptian burial chamber of a Lady pharaoh encapsulates the knowledge of initiation hidden in the wisdom of the Egyptian priesthood and taught to Moses as we are told in the Torah. The story of the serpent scepter of Aaron swallowing that of the Pharoah's priests represents the handing over of ancient lines of wisdom initiation. The Hebrew priesthood was just coming to age so to speak with that story. The helical serpent has always been symbolic of wisdom lineages. This picture is a like a Rosetta stone for students of various aspects of the wisdom tradition from around the globe. The Ram headed mummy crowned by the red dawn star is like a cocoon for a level of human initiation that was still in the early stages which is one reason the mummy has an animal head and is a mummy. The three images are like the three columns of the traditional tree of the mekubalim/kabbalists and the three qualities of the astrologers - mutable, fixed and cardinal. They also correspond to the three planets left-jupiter(throne on head)right-saturn(cauldron on head) and the middle-mars/ram-red dawn star. The mathematical keys are the three number grids/kameas-4X4:3X3:5X5. The rebirth initiation level described by this scene is becoming real for humanity in our times right now. this is the real meaning behind the great calendar changes being touted about these days. from out of the mitzrayim/Egyptian constricted place humanity is making real the promised land of a prosperous peaceful world for all where the creative powers of the entire universe(Ram) support the values of justice(Nepthys) and kindness(Isis).
