The following material is a study using input from two DVDs; The Wicker Man and Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove. Earlier, I suggested that old cosmological stories follow the zodiacal and decanate constellations from the Sphinx down to the Dagon. The cosmos has only completed half of its life at Pisces/Aquarius. At the Bohemian Grove the elites perform a type of burning man ceremony that is essentially old cosmology. It is old Dagon cosmology. It is actually why the church used to burn heathens and witches at the stake--it was their original cosmology. In the Bohemian Grove ritual from Alex Jones’s Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove, Care gets executed by the local version of Set. Such betrayal scenes are isomorphs of the transition between early childhood to adolescence. At the end of early childhood (the first quarter of life), Mind betrays Heart and Consciousness watches. Mind usually has an older man as a correspondent. Heart usually has a young girl or in later times a male hero as a correspondent. Consciousness can probably have either gender as a correspondent. In ancient times Heart was symbolized by a young girl. Mind was symbolized by an older man. This still holds true in Satanic rituals. A young girl is often betrayed in Satanic rituals by an older male, possibly her father, through ritual rape or worse. The Satanic priest’s wife might even watch. Here, I plan to show how The Wicker Man movie follows the constellations from the Sphinx of Virgo/Leo to the Dagon of Pisces/Aquarius. In this movie the man is betrayed by (his daughter) the young girl and the woman watches. They have switched things around a bit to confuse us. The Wicker Man movie should properly have had the man betray the young girl while the woman watches to fit the old correspondences better. I’ll have to return to this at some of the crucial moments.
We are starting at the top left side of the Djed Pillar and mapping The Wicker Man ritual motifs from the movie onto the old order of the constellations. The left side of the tree moving down is the “coming into existence” side--so as cosmology, we will go from the Raven down to the Ring. If you can, try to find a motif in the movie fitting a zodiacal or decanate constellation I may have missed or left out.
1. Raven
I did not see a raven in The Wicker Man. It might be hidden in a close-up or a costume. Imagine the movie ritual beginning with a raven flying out of the woods. Cosmological stories often follow the constellations closely while longer stories use more creative strategies like repeating sections of the sky or using the same constellation as different motifs.
2. Crater
Next we see some members of a festive crowd marching through the forest. They are dressed in costumes and drinking. One person drinking is drinking from the cup constellation, Crater. One of the crowd’s costumes might be that of the Lion constellation, Leo.
The festive crew snakes through the forest and when they get to the grove they begin to split apart. They split at the front of the line into three and then everyone else gathers round the three.
This gathering around is often symbolized by the Cancer constellation. Cancer is also, for example, the three wise men arriving around the baby Jesus.
In The Wicker Man they symbolized the Beehive Nebula as the bees inside the round cage they put on the Nicolas Cage character’s head. Cancer was the cage. The betrayal has begun. Note the bee costume below. This is a stray bee buzzing around outside the cage of Cancer.
4. Argos
Argos is the ship constellation. In the movie it is a “Death Boat” motif. It was the cloth “cot” on which he was carried.
5. Ursa Major and 6. Ursa Minor
Both Ursa Major and Ursa Minor look like a hip or leg. In the movie both of the victim’s legs are broken.
Do you see how they are holding him down? This is a subtle reference to the Orion constellation. The Orion constellation is Christ, Siegfried, Osiris etc.. All are heros similarly fully broken.
7. Canis Minor 8. Canis Major 9. Lepus
These are the characters that have been tampered with in the movie to confuse us. Canis Major is usually the watcher, Lepus is usually the betrayer and Orion is usually the one betrayed.
Instead of the horned male (Lepus) being the betrayer they have made a little girl (Canis Minor) the betrayer.
Canis Minor is the “little dog“--possibly offspring (in this case daughter) of the “big dog.” In stories I have never seen Canis Minor being a betrayer, Dogs are known for fidelity, they are sometimes called “Fido.” They are trusted by the Orion character. Canis Minor is usually a small trusted relative or pet of the person getting betrayed. Canis Minor could very well be a second watcher.
In the movie we actually have a “horned one” doing the betraying work of Lepus because they would have had trouble skipping it. Here he is:
10. Auriga
10. Auriga is either a cave, a rabbit hole or some sort of close helper of the betrayer. .
11. Eridanus
Eridanus is usually the path of the betrayed to his or her death. It could be Jesus carrying his cross. It could be Osiris floating down the Nile or Siegfried on his Rhine journey. The story of Noah’s Ark is cosmology. Eridanus is the path of Noah’s Ark from Gemini/Taurus to Pisces/Aquarius. This trip takes 40 days. The spring equinox will change 40 days between Gemini/Taurus and Pisces/Aquarius. The current spring equinox is March 21. 10 more days gets us to March 31. 30 more days gets us to April 30 (Walpurgisnacht), the spring equinox three zodiacal ages before 2001, 4479 BC.
12. Orion
Orion is often the one getting betrayed or the hero. In The Wicker Man it is the Nicolas Cage character. In mythology Orion is Osiris, Jesus and others.
One of Orion’s appendages is across the Milky Way just as Cage’s leg is shown here across the tree logs.
13. Perseus
Perseus is often a successful hero. The constellation can also be an invisibility cloak or cape. I did not recognize a clear Perseus motif in the movie parade and betrayal. I believe some of the people in the ritual wearing capes are the Perseus motif.
14. Cetus is a big monster, opponent or big thing. In the story of Osiris the Cetus constellation is Osiris floating past the stone Sphinx. In The Wicker Man it is when Cage sees the large humanoid structure in the distance. In the Odyssey it was the Cyclops substory. In Dante’s Inferno it was the flying beast Geryon. I think it is when Jesus had his doubts about his fate.
15. Cassiopea and 16. Cepheus
Cassiopia and Cepheus in stories are often two church bureaucrats or elders. At least one of the two is some kind of usurper. In the Odyssey the two were Odysseus and Circe. We get the word Church from Circe. Below is the Cassiopea character from The Wicker Man. There is no definite Cepheus in the movie; so I think the woman shown along side this Cassiopea is her current squeeze--a female version of Cepheus. The colors should be red (Mars) and/or black(Saturn) not white(Sol) and blue(Moon). White and blue are colors of consciousness and heart at the other end of the pillar.
17. Andromeda
In The Wicker Man, the little girl is both the Canis Minor and Andromeda constellations. The Andromeda constellation usually refers to compassion constrained but here they have made her a killer.
The Andromeda constellation is near the bottom of the world tree near Pisces/Aquarius and consequently also at the bottom of the Ankh. This motif is shown below. She (Andromeda) is the last bit of “Yin” on the side of “Yang.” She (Andromeda) is released near Pisces/Aquarius.
18. Ring
Here is how the Ring asterism relates to Andromeda:
The Ring is a bright spot on one of the appendages of Andromeda. It is the fetter that binds Andromeda to the square rock of Pegasus. The fire when the little girl lights the large structure is this ring asterism.
The Ring was also a compass on an appendage of Andromeda in the recent The Golden Compass movie.
