The Gaia Hypothesis

LESSON 8

Some people think of our ideas as superstition and believe that we are just plain wrong.

A myth is a truth expressed in a symbolic or poetic way. Mythology is not meant to be literally true; it is a way of expressing and teaching important ideas.

One scientific model of reality owes much to the older. This is the Gaia Hypothesis.

The Animals of Astrology

The Rat The Rat is the symbol of charm

You’re found at a great number of social gatherings and parties, constantly surrounded by people. You love to take centre stage and your sense of humour wins many fans.

DE ARTE MAGICA

XXXVI. But now also do We think it fitting to add Our own comment to this book Agape which We wrote in Our own words for the proper setting-forth of this Secret taught Us at Our Initiation to the IX by the O.H.O. And this Book has received His official approbation in every word thereof.
