White BUffalo Calf Woman is now keeping her promise
to return & assist humanity move through the Shift of the Ages. As she comes into view of Earth she exclaims,
"Oh my Goddess! Nineteen generations ago I brought that sacred pipe to help the people get their lives
into balance. How in the world did I miss this obvious great imbalance? The whole planet Earth is tilted!
She looks ready to fall right over. What caused this serious imbalance of planet Earth?"
A few Egyptian Goddesses smile wisely.
They've been waiting thousands of years to discuss the answer to Buffalo Calf Woman's question . . .
The time is 12,000 years ago. Earth spins
comfortably on her vertical axis that's suspended as if from a silken thread attached to the geographic/magnetic
north pole. A special atmosphere covers Earth so that the Sun's heat directed at the equator spreads evenly to
the polar regions. The climate of Earth is like perpetual Spring. Somehow, the wild hunter ~ gatherers receive the inspiration to congregate
into urban community. This happens in the region of the Nile River.
When the Goddesses & Gods overseeing Earth hear
the news, they realize that the humans transitioning into a 'civilized' urban lifestyle will need some close supervision
& divine intervention.
| MAAT |
|
| Egyptian Goddess of Order, Balance, Justice & Sacred Law |
In the beginning, there was MAAT. This Goddess represents
the sacred laws of truth and justice that keep life in harmonious balance. MAAT is guardian of the afterlife.
When someone dies, MAAT removes the Ostrich plume from her headband. In one hand she holds the feather, & in the
other she holds the deceased person's heart. If the heart is heavier than the feather, the person goes to the underworld
with the terrible hippo-crocodile monster. If the heart is lighter than MAAT's feather, the person moves on to play
with the dieties. The first law of MAAT says, "A light heart is a good heart."
The divine sacred order of MAAT is protected by the Sun Goddess, SEKHMET. She has the head
of a Lioness and a woman's body.

| OSIRIS |

| ISIS |

The sacred order of MAAT is perpetuated & taught to the
people by the divine couple, OSIRIS and ISIS. They are husband & wife as well as brother & sister. The new urban
culture is thriving until one fateful day. OSIRIS & ISIS have a brother god named, SET. He grows jealous of
OSIRIS, who's been given such an important role. Consumed by unbridled emotion, SET murders OSIRIS. He cuts his
brother's body into pieces which he then strews across the land.
The Sun goddess, SEKHMET, learns of this violation of the sacred order &
her protective instinct flares up. This murder is unprecedented. Never before has a god or a human
taken the life of another. SEKHMET plays her role to teach a lesson. Her rage shakes the Earth. Volcanoes
spew fire & hot lava, earthquakes split the ground, and floods cover the Earth. The Earth stops spinning. The humans
along the Nile suffer through perpetual daytime.
Eventually, when SEKHMET calms down & the turmoil settles, ISIS goes looking
for the pieces of her dead husband. She finds all but one of his body parts~ OSIRIS's penis. The Goddess is undaunted.
She molds a penis from gold, then fans life back into Osiris with her long wing feathers. Soon, ISIS becomes pregnant.

| HORUS the Falcon God |
ISIS gives birth to a son, whose name is HORUS. He becomes
known as the Falcon God, with the 'eye of the Sun'. The name, HORUS, is significant. It sounds like 'horizon'.
Since the event of SEKHMET's upheaval of the Earth, the Egyptian astronomers are having a terrible time. Sun no longer
rises & sets in the same place. Now, Sun travels in a path north, then south along the horizons, creating shorter
then longer days. As well, the astronomers can no longer guage their calculations according to the circumpolar constellations,
which are askew. The SPHYNX is constructed to be a marker on the land, and also to placate SEKHMET.

The Egyptians observe the constellation of Leo rising over
the Spring Equinox horizon and they face the SPHYNX in that direction. The tilted axis is unstable. We now understand
that it wobbles in a circle that marks a 26,000 year cycle. This circle delineates the zodiac of astrology. Each
of the 12 constellations, beginning with Leo, prevail for approximately 2,160 years. Earth has now wobbled half way
around the circle and prepares to enter the Age of Aquarius.

"The Egyptian line of descent was through the mother, so
it was shocking when a female goddess, SEKHMET, created catastrophes on Earth. The sought-after order on Earth, MAAT,
was lost, which was a profound shattering. The sacred balance & access to the stargate had to be found again,
so the Dynasties were established to maintain order versus chaos by the Nile. A Dynastic foundational ritual was the
Djed Ceremony, which involved erecting a pillar to connect Earth & sky. In the reliefs of Abydos Temple, the Pharoah
or sometimes a neter, is shown holding a tilting pillar that's capped by four sections. The Djed Pillar is depicted
initially tilting about 20 to 25 degrees off vertical, the same as the tilt angle of Earth! Then it is erected to a
vertical position, as if making Earth perpendicular to her orbital plane around the Sun. MAAT needed to be reestablished
after the axis tilted, because balance is essential for human happiess. Notice that the 4 sections on the top of the
Djed Pillar are ideal symbols for the equinoxes & solstices. These 4 quarters of the solar year forced everyone
to learn to live with Earth in a new way because agriculture was invented to deal with seasonality." (from Catastrophobia
by Barbara Hand~Clow) The temple reliefs are beautiful murals to remind the people everyday of MAAT's principle
of right~alignment.

| SEKHMET |
12,000 years ago, the powerful Sun Goddess, SEKHMET, responded dramatically
when one God murdered his brother in an unprecedented act of violence. Today, the violence on Earth has escalated to
the level that even Earth, herself, is a victim of abuse. Not to mention the genocide of innocent people. If SEKHMET
created an upheaval to teach that killing is totally unacceptable, what must this protective Goddess be contemplating
now? Along with certain Egyptian Goddesses as her allies, White BUffalo Calf Woman returns to restore
the Divine Feminine. She's here with a cast of amazing characters who remember their more beautiful, peaceful
life times on Earth.
The most powerful Goddess on Earth . . . . .is Earth!
