Eclipse Gate 2012

“ Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn her Seven Pillars.” Proverbs 9.1

In 2012, two magnificent eclipses will shadow our Earth, one in May and the other in
November directly over Cairns. Astrologically, they both connect with very significant
stars that the ancients gave much spiritual credence to.  These two eclipses both precede
the end of the Mayan Calendar that is said to end on the 21st December and according to
John Major Jenkins, an alignment of the Solstice Sun with the Milky Way culminates a
World Age.1
 Eclipses come and go without much interest for many, however the Hermetic astrologers of
the mystery schools of Egypt and Greece knew that an eclipse created a tunnel to higher
realms where they could communicate directly with the star gods and access their sacred
wisdom. It was a cosmic thoroughfare and stellar gateway. Scientific tests have shown
that during an eclipse, electromagnetic fields increased significantly, especially near
scared sites. What could it mean for us?
On May 20th a solar eclipse will occur, one that I believe is why 2012 is so cosmically
significant. The Sun and the Moon (New Moon) will be exactly conjunct Alcyone, the
central star of the Pleiades, in Taurus. The Pleiadian star system has been one of the
most revered cosmic objects in history, poetry and mythology across all cultures.
According to the cultural traditions, the seven visible stars of the Pleiades have been
referred to by many names, such as the Seven Sisters, Krittika, Kimah, Flock of Doves,
Hens, Virgins of Spring, Sailor’s Stars and the seven Atlantic Sisters.
“The Pleiades were known as Seven Sisters by indigenous people In North Ameica, Siberia
and Australia and this common heritage means they were described more than 40,000 years
ago.” 2 
‘The Pleiades seem to be among the first stars mentioned in astronomical literature,
appearing in the Chinese annuls of 2357 BC, Alcyone, the lucida, then being near the
vernal equinox….And their beginning of the year gave rise to the title ‘The Great Year of
the Pleiades’ for the cycle of precession of about 25, 900 years.” 3  
Using my SolarFire software, I searched for the exact point in time when Alcyone was at
zero degrees of Aries and therefore conjunct the vernal equinox. The date I found was
2336 BC when Alcyone was rising with the Sun at zero degrees of Aries heralding the ‘The
Great Year of Pleiades.’ Professor Charles Piazzi Smyth in the late 19th century
suggested that that the seven chambers of the Great Pyramid of Giza commemorate these
seven stars. 4  “And here is a wonderful corresponding fact, that the date of the Great
Pyramids completion, at midnight of the autumnal equinox…the Pleiades were distributed
over the meridian of this pyramid, with Alcyone precisely on the line. ” 5 
 	What if the Great Pyramid was actually built in honor of the Pleiades when they rose at
the vernal equinox 2336 BC and completed by 2170, as suggested by Siess.
According to Albert Churchward the name of the Great Pyramid was ‘Khuti,’ which denoted
the seven Lights, or Glorious Ones. ‘Egyptian texts allude to Pleiades’ archaic
significance as Krittitas, judges of men, assigning them also to seven planetary spheres
as the seven Hathors. The dead had to speak the names of these Goddesses to pass their
‘critical’ examination and enter paradise.” 6 
I believe this is the source of the Judgement of the Dead linked with the month of
November, when the Pleiades are high in the night sky. In the Halls of Amenti, Maat and
Thoth weighed the souls of the dead against the feather of truth as did Archangel Michael
on the day of judgement, All Soul’s Day, 2nd November. The ancient Celtic civilisation
gathered to celebrate the festival of death ‘Samhain’ during the dark night of October
31st and at midnight, a time of death to the old year and birth to the new, it was the
Celtic New Year. November is the month of the dead and Scorpio and ruling planet Pluto
are all connected with death and rebirth. The Persians called November Mordad, or “Angel
of Death.” 
I often wonder how the zodiac signs acquired their symbolism, for example why Scorpio and
its eight house and ruler Pluto are all linked to death and rebirth? What I have found
through my research into The Pleiades, might be the answer. It has been recorded in the
Babylonian Talmud that the flood of Biblical Noah was the result of two stars falling
from Khima (the Pleiades) towards earth. Could this correspond with the legend of the
lost pleid? Was this the sinking of Atlantis and the end of the Golden Age and thus we
still mourn the dead in November? I discovered some very confirming evidence in the book
When the Earth Nearly Died by Allen and Delair.  They argue that the world experienced
total catastrophe in 9500 BC when a Vela supernova exploded and the Earth’s axis
subsequently tilted to 23 and a half degrees and the Age of Darkness took hold. What I
found in the book was this. “Chinese traditions similarly tell how, during the time of
the legendary emperor Ya-hou: ‘a brilliant star issued from the constellation of Yin’
prior to a tremendous global upheaval.” 7  I searched my Chinese Astrology book and found
the Yin Star to correspond with Beta Scorpionis (Graffias, a triple star situated in the
head of the Scorpion) and connected with plenty of water (flood). The symbol of Yin and
Yang thus represents Scorpio (Yin) and its opposite sign Taurus (Yang). Remember in
November, the Sun is in Scorpio but at night The Pleiades are high in the sky, in Taurus.
Thus, does the symbolism of the constellations, zodiac signs and planets reflect actual
historical events?
Many ancient traditions state that Alcyone was the Central Spiritual Sun that emits
creative Light, that which sends great teachers of Light into the world. It was believed
to be the centre of the Universe around which our own solar system revolves but this idea
is not supported by our current astronomers although in the 1850’s it well accepted. 
“Science has at last discovered that the Sun is not a dead centre, with planets and
comets wheeling around it but itself stationary. It is now ascertained that the Sun is
also in motion, around some other and vastly mightier centre. Astronomers are not fully
agreed as to what or where that centre is. Some however believe that they have found the
direction of it to be the Pleiades, and particularly Alcyone. To the distinguished
astronomer, Prof.J.H,  Maedler belongs the honour of having made this discovery. Alcyone,
then, as far as science can perceive, would seem to be the “midnight throne” in which the
whole system of gravitation has a central seat, and from which the Almighty governs his
universe.” 8  
An astronomer will tell you this is complete rubbish but I want to go back to the ancient
traditions. Alcyone was called Al Wasat, the Central One by the Arabs and Temennu, the
Foundation Stone by the Babylonians. The next quotation I found in a wonderful book on
ancient constellations called the Mazzaroth.“Wasat, an Arabic name of Alcyone,
transmitted by Ulugh Beigh from early Arabian astronomy, is the centre. It thus
testifies, like that of Alcyone, to the knowledge of the first astronomers of the long
lost but lately removed fact, that in this group is the centre of the revolving, contains
the same reference, if explained by its primitive roots. The ancient name Alcyone, now so
celebrated in the annuals of science, is evidently of Oriental origin, having the Arabic
and old Hebrew article Al, prefixed to its root Cyon, centre. Its meaning, centre,
foundation, anticipates one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy, the
discovery that to this point, this centre, gravitates the whole magnificent arrangement
of the stars called the Galaxy, to which our sun belongs.” 9  Does Cyon not sound like
Sion/Zion - the heavenly city of God? “Glorious things of Thee are spoken, Zion city of
our God.” Psalm 87. The Hebrews believed it to be the City of David- the City of the
Lord- the City of Foundation.
I found an intriguing article by ken Raines on the Internet called ‘Jehovah: Ancient
Astronaut from the Pleiades?’10 Apparently for 62 years, 1891 – 1953, the Watchtower
Society (Jehovah’s Witness) taught that God resided on the star Alcyone in the Pleiades
constellation and that from this star he governed the universe. It was also stated that
the City of Zion in heaven was Alcyone. Much of this was based on Rev. Joseph Seiss’
book, Miracle in Stone, that he based heavily on Prof. Piazzi Smyth’s Our Inheritance in
the Great Pyramid.  I’m going to add something here, just for a bit of bite. According to
David Icke, 11 Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Watchtower Society was a high
degree Mason. Why am I going here? Because secret societies keep ancient wisdom behind
locked doors. I have a book by Robert Hewitt Brown; a 32-degree Mason called Stellar
Theology and Masonic Astronomy. On page 54 is a picture of a mystic ladder that leads to
the seven stars of the Pleiades. He explains, ‘This Masonic emblem, has a direct allusion
to the vernal equinox, and thus becomes a beautiful symbol of immortality, reminding us,
also, of that starry home beyond the grave to which the soul of man aspires. It was for
these reasons that, of all the ‘hosts of heaven’ the Pleiades were selected as an emblem
by our ancient brethren.” 12  Is there a Pleiadian conspiracy? Who wants to keep us in
the dark? 
	The Mayans called the Pleiades ‘the cranary” for it was the seedbed of their
civilisation and the cosmic star mother who gave her children the codes of light.13  
Jose Arguelles describes the beginning of the current Mayan Age from 3113 BC – 2718BC,
which is said to end in 2012, the Baktun of the Star Planting. For him, the Maya were
star-beings, from a starbase, possibly in the Pleiades called Valum Chivim.14 Does this
suggest that every 5200 years, the Earth experiences a massive star seeding? This brings
me back to the Eclipse in May conjunct Alcyone, remember the ancients believed an eclipse
created a tunnel to their star gods – could a portal open directly to Alcyone? If you
believe all the chanelled material regarding the Pleiadians, they are returning to aid
our planetary ascension into a higher frequency. 
In Australia, on the 14th November, a Solar Eclipse will shadow across our land, the
centreline directly over Cairns. This eclipse will be exactly conjunct the Fixed Star of
Serpens in Scorpio. The Serpent is one of the most ancient of symbols denoting wisdom
used by high initiates in the mystery schools. ‘Many Gnostic traditions identified the
Serpent with Jesus. In the Pistis Sophia, Jesus was the serpent who spoke to Eve ‘from
the tree of knowledge and the tree of life, which were in the paradise of Adam.’” 15 Mark
Amaru Pinkham in his book The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom, examines the worldwide
migration of serpents, some from Mu (Lemuria), and others from Atlantis. They were called
Nagas, Naguals, Nacaals, Adders, Djedhi, Amarus, Levites, Lung Dragons and Quetzlcoatls.
In ancient Aramaic, Jesus was called a nagger 16 which in the Bible was mistranslated as
a carpenter when in actual fact I found the word for carpenter to be nanger. Jesus was a
nagger – a serpent of wisdom. According to Pinkham, at thirteen Jesus left Palestine and
set off to study the mystery traditions of other branches of Serpents of Wisdom around
the globe. His subsequent adventures are currently mentioned within various records,
including the travels of ‘Issa’ (Asian name for Jesus) which were discovered in 1887 by
the Russian adventurer Nicholas Notavich in a monastery in Ladakh.’ 17
There are many traditions, which also state that the Serpents were Extra-terrestrials. ‘
Some of the Interstellar Serpents on Atlantis came from the Celestial Serpent, the
Pleiades. [According to Dhyani Ywahoo] the records of Cherokees, these androgynous
Serpents are known as the ‘sacred seven,’ and said to have traveled from the universal
seat of Divine Mind, the Pleiades, in order to instill within developing humankind the
spark of the individuated mind. Once on the Earth the Pleiadian missionaries mated with
the human population and their progeny spread throughout Atlantis.’ 18 Could this be the
source of the Fallen Angels in The Book of Enoch?
This Pleiadian and Atlantean mating was also mentioned by Greek Historian Diodorus who
claimed that Celoene and Alcyone, two of the seven Pleiadian sisters, had mated with
Poseidon, King of Atlantis and their offspring populated Atlantis. 
The Maya/Aztec called the Pleiades the tzab rattle – that of a snake and every 52 years,
in the middle of November, when the Pleiades were directly at the zenith at midnight at
Mexican latitude, it was believed that the world would end; it had already been destroyed
and re-created four times in the past. The New Fire Ceremony was held once they knew that
they were safe for another 52 years. Using my Solarfire software, I calculated a chart
for 14th November at midnight, and Alcyone is exactly at the zenith point at the Latitude
of Yucatan in Mexico. Therefore, the Eclipse over Australia coincides with the New Fire
Ceremony – the symbolic beginning of the New World. 52 years is a micro cycle of the
greater 5200 years of each of the Mayan world ages being a fifth of the Great Cycle of
26,000, originally called the Great Year of Pleiades. In 2012, we have reached the end of
an Age and thus at the dawn of a New World.
 In esoteric literature, Australia has always been believed to be the land to host a mass
spiritual awakening. Australia is said to be a fragment of Lemuria or ‘Mu’ – an ancient
motherland of advanced spiritual light beings (nagas) now below the pacific. The
Australian Aborigines are believed to be direct descendants of Lemuria, much like the
Native Americans, Mayans and the Incas. Will this Eclipse put Australia on the map as the
spiritual center of the New Age? See you in Cairns!
