Orion

The ancient stories may give us insight

Orion has been in my thoughts lately. The star cluster seems to be part of an occult language all around us. Apparently, there are alignments with Orion and earth's ancient monuments. Orion also appears on corporate, military, industrial and political logos.

It also appears on banknotes, across many countries, in the form of the EURion. This is a distinctive, yet easily overlooked, pattern of five dots that represents Orion.

The EURion is ostensibly to prevent fraud, but it makes one consider.

Could it be that Orion is some kind of blueprint for our hierarchical structures? Why is Orion symbolism important to the parasitical classes?

As part of my investigations, I’ve uncovered some ancient and traditional stories from around the world. I’m sure there are many more of them, but here are a few:

Ancient Greek Stories - Orion the Hunter

In Ancient Greece, Orion was a legendary hunter and giant. He was the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. He was known for his hunting skills and was often depicted with a club and a lion's pelt.

One story involving Orion is about his pursuit of the Pleiades. The Pleiades were a cluster of seven sisters who were transformed into doves to escape his advances. Eventually, Orion was killed by either Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, or by a scorpion.

After his death, he was placed in the stars as the constellation Orion.

Ancient Egyptian Stories

In ancient Egyptian stories, Orion was associated with the god Osiris. He was the god of the afterlife, resurrection, and rebirth. The three stars that form Orion's belt were connected to Osiris' immaculate belt. He used this as a symbol of his authority in the afterlife.

Indigenous Australian Stories

The Boorong people of Victoria saw Orion's belt as a group of young men. These men were known as the ‘Djuit’ and were chasing after the Pleiades sisters. The sisters were represented by a cluster of stars known as the ‘Dordi.’

The rising and setting of these constellations marked seasonal changes and were used for important cultural practices.

Native American Stories

Many Native American tribes have their own interpretation of the Orion constellation. For example, the Lakota Sioux tribe saw Orion as a warrior chasing after the Big Dipper constellation. They referred to this as the ‘Seven Brothers’.

The Lakota story tells of the seven brothers stealing a wife from Orion, who then pursued them across the sky.

Ancient China - Shen the Hunter

In Chinese stories, Orion was associated with a legendary archer named Shen. He was a skilled hunter who saved the Earth from a monstrous drought by shooting down nine of the ten suns that were scorching the planet.

In recognition of his heroic deeds, the gods placed him in the stars as the constellation Shen. This more or less corresponds to the Western constellation Orion.

Thoughts

There are some commonalities in these stories. We frequently see Orion as a hunter, chasing others across the skies.

Could it be that Earth was invaded by powerful forces from the Orion star cluster? Are we still under it’s rule? Is this the afterlife, ruled by Osiris? Or are there forces trying to make this be the afterlife? Who were the Pleiades sisters or the Seven brothers? Are we the ones being pursued by oppressive forces from Orion to this day?

I don’t have any answers. I am merely speculating here. These stories may contain some clues for us to consider in a deeper way. I expect many of you will have insights to share.
