Osiris Awakens in the Springtime...




Osiris Awakens

The Ancient Egyptians believed that the Sun-God Ra descended underground at night into the Underworld and fought its way upwards to appear in the morning, victorious over death and reborn anew.  This Geocentric view is akin to the Flat Earth Movement.  They did not know that the Earth is a sphere that revolves around the Sun.  So they built up a Mythology about the process, comparing it to a Life Cycle that begins at birth, matures by noon, and becomes old at dusk.  The voyage underground is in the Domain of Osiris, the Buried One (QRST or Christ).  Once Ra is reborn he rules in the Heavens in the sky.  This rebirth is our Life cycle on Earth.  Another version is the Bennu bird or Phoenix, which burns itself to death and rises from its ashes.  In the Domain of Osiris the mode of activity centers on Agriculture, which Osiris invented, as it is part of the Earth.  Plants are grown first by burying seeds in the Earth, like the tomb of Osiris.  Then sacred water libations are poured over it, and the seedlings appear in the ground and rise up to the sky, reborn anew (Springtime, or “resurrection of the Buried One”).  When the plants are harvested this is the death of Osiris, during Winter or the Winter Solstice which is the funeral of the Solar God Ra.  Add the 5 extra days of the Egyptian Calendar (the Birthdays of the family of Osiris) and you have Christ-mas, the rebirth of the Buried One, followed by the New Year.
