Gerard Butler - Shakira - and the Stars of SNL 10.17 (MORE updates and the death of OZ)

The Astronomy and Syncs of SaTURday (k)Night Live 35 - 10.17.2009

(The concepts in this article have been covered in my previous postings from August-October '09)


Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a weekly late-night sketch comedy and variety show filmed in New York City. ... The show is broadcast live in the Central and Eastern time zones (with a time delay in the Mountain Time Zone and Pacific Time Zone) from Studio 8H at the GE Building in New York's Rockefeller Center.

SNL is broadcast on NBC:


NBC uses the peacock as its logo. The "Peacock Angel" is also "Melek Taus", the equivalent of the Christian/Biblical Satan. In Christian religions Satan is also known as The Great Beast.


"Proud as a Peacock"

Gerard Butler - SHAKIRA - Golden Wheat (spiral)



SNL 35 - 10.17.2009
662 episode
Host: Gerard Butler
Musical Guest: SHAKIRA
Guest: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Guest: James "Harry Osborn" Franco


Well it looks like the writers of SNL decided to give props to this blog and create an ASTRONOMICAL (and occult) SNL Episode...

This 10.17.2009 episode of SNL had the common theme of "Asses" - yes I mean rumps, buttocks, derrieres, bootys...
Why?
To point to the STARS of course!
As in the constellation of the white winged equine (Horse / Horus) Pegasus (Peg-ASUS). (the pale equine-ox)





For more on the backstory of the Chimaera Dragon Goat (Capricorn), Lycia, Pegasus and how Jupiter/Iove/Zeus made it a constellation in the heavens see the story of Bellerophon.





In this Episode we also have the actor and host of this SNL, the scottish (RITE) actor Gerard Butler. Scotland is the birthplace of modern organized Freemasonry, home to the famous "sea monster", the Loch Ness Monster, and the former castle/home "Boleskine House" of Aleister Crowley at Loch Ness.



Gerard Butler was in the movie The 300 about the Spartans. "Spartacus" just so happens to be the pseudonym of one Adam Weishaupt - historical founder of the Bavarian Illuminati.

SHAKIRA, whom we've visited several times over the past two months on this blog, also makes an appearance. Fitting it should be on the 17th of October (Octo = 8 = 1+7) after my article "Shakira Epic Sync-Winks the 17". SHAKIRA performed two songs, "She Wolf" and "Did it Again" from her new CD "She Wolf"

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson reprises his role as "The RockObama" from last season as Barack Obama turning into "The Incredible Hulk" - the famous 'Green Man' (Osiris) in royal purple shorts of Marvel comics.


The Incredible Hulk




James "Harry Osborn" Franco, joins the cast of this SNL. He's also played a 'Green Man', that also wears a purple costume, in his role in the Spiderman movies as "The Green Goblin". We should make a special note of his character's name, Harry Osborn... HoR Eye OZ-Born.

The Green Goblin:



SHAKIRA - Gerard Butler - James Franco




Obama - Green Man - Hulk

Note: the HoRses statue behind the Senators - one large, one little - first seen @ 0:38 then again @ 0:56
The two-horse statue accentuates Pegasus (Peg Asses) (big horse in the two-horse statue) and Equuleus (foal / little horse in the two-horse statue)

Pegasus / Peg-Asses and Equuleus:


Wikipedia on Equuleus:

"In Greek mythology, one myth associates Equuleus with the foal Celeris (meaning "swiftness" or "speed"), who was the offspring or brother of the winged horse Pegasus. Celeris was given to Castor by Mercury. Other myths say that Equuleus is the horse struck from Neptune's trident, during the contest between him and Athena when deciding which would be the superior. Because this section of stars rises before Pegasus, it is often called Equus Primus, or the First Horse. Equuleus is also linked to the story of Philyra and Saturn."



The Great Beast - To Mega Therion

The Beast -




In this skit we see the Beast. This Beast is representative of Baphomet (the Eliphas Levi version) and Aleister Crowley.



Shakira mirrored Baphomet - As Above, So Below:


Belle and the Beast:



Beast Orgy in the Ass Castle -


We see Lumiere (Illuminati), the candlestick holder / light bearer, in the Grand Hailing sign of Distress of a Master Mason, The Beast represents, and the clock guy in the Hat mimics "A" in the signature of, Aleister Crowley and the hair of Adam Weishaupt, Tea Pot is posing in the in the Dueguard of a Fellowcraft.

Kristen Wiig played "Belle" (BAAL)
"You BOTH look like Beasts to me!" (3:03) Hader/Lumiere
Gerard Butler played the Beast.
"G"erard "B"utler, "G"reat "B"east.
Mega Therion

and the funniest line of the night goes to Bill Hader as Lumiere -
"Although once in college I dated a menorah"

Alternatively (and my personal preference):
"G"erard "B"utler
"G"iordano "B"runo
Giordano Bruno, the alkhemist, pantheist, heliocentrist, hermeticist, and philosopher - and the author of the Cabala del Cavallo Pegaseo con l'aggiunta dell' Asino Cillenico - (The Cabala of the Horse Pegasus with Appendix on the Cillenican Ass).

His Cabala of Pegasus is a philosophical text in which he equates the winged Mercury (ref: Golden Boy) with Peagsus and the Cillenican Ass and addresses the assininity of religion and academia.

At 00:31 CDT 10.18.2009 (01:31 EDT in New York, NY 10.18.2009) SHAKIRA performed SHE WOLF.
You can see the streaks on the background display representing, and pointing us to, the stars.

E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial


I kinda thought the cheap hanging-on-a-wire effect used by SNL made the balloon resemble ET, as in the image above.

Spartans - Spartacus - The 300 - Committee of 300 - Gerard Butler


A play on the Illuminist / Secret Society - The Committee of 300

"The Committee of 300 is a theory which alleges that a secret society exists which was founded by the British aristocracy in 1727. It is allegedly an international council which organizes politics, commerce, banking, media, and the military for centralized global efforts."



LEO / the LION rising! This is expressed with Leonidas's Birth Certificate - which, in the non-occult and obvious is simply a play on Barack Obama's birth certificate controversy.






Game Time with Randy and Greg (the ALIEN)



DAVEHEART



and then we have DaveHeart, the younger brother of BRAVEHEART...
This skit is more than just a play on Mel Gibson's Braveheart. It is a play on Gerard Butler's name.

Behind the Name for the name GERARD tells us:
Derived from the Germanic element ger "spear" combined with hard "brave, hardy". The Normans introduced this name to Britain.

Gerard means "BRAVE/HARDY Spear".

...and of course DAVEHEART points us to Jupiter in Capricorn setting by being afraid of the "Goat Dragon"...

Tarot #15 - The Devil :



In the Video above, we saw DAVEHEART chained to a wall and woman nearby. The dragon - GOAT held by the Bruno-esque character was off to left.


From The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, by A.E. Waite @ Sacred Texts
THE DEVIL XV
The design is an accommodation, mean or harmony, between several motives mentioned in the first part. The Horned Goat of Mendes, with wings like those of a bat, is standing on an altar. At the pit of the stomach there is the sign of Mercury. The right hand is upraised and extended, being the reverse of that benediction which is given by the Hierophant in the fifth card. In the left hand there is a great flaming torch, inverted towards the earth. A reversed pentagram is on the forehead. There is a ring in front of the altar, from which two chains are carried to the necks of two figures, male and female. These are analogous with those of the fifth card, as if Adam and Eve after the Fall. Hereof is the chain and fatality of the material life.

The figures are tailed, to signify the animal nature, but there is human intelligence in the faces, and he who is exalted above them is not to be their master for ever. Even now, he is also a bondsman, sustained by the evil that is in him and blind to the liberty of service. With more than his usual derision for the arts which he pretended to respect and interpret as a master therein, Éliphas Lévi affirms that the Baphometic figure is occult science and magic. Another commentator says that in the Divine world it signifies predestination, but there is no correspondence in that world with the things which below are of the brute. What it does signify is the Dweller on the Threshold without the Mystical Garden when those are driven forth therefrom who have eaten the forbidden fruit.





The Obelisk:

The poster has a hang-glider (guy attached to a kite) soaring through the air like an Angel. Soaring like the Angel of the Air... Lucifer.


Kristen Wiig's character Trina was last seen with Steve Martin in SNL episode 650, Season 34.14 on January 31, 2009.

The 666th episode of SNL (season 35.8 !! 3+5 = 8) is currently scheduled for 12.5.2009 (12 + 5 = 17 !)

SIDE NOTE:

Regular readers of this Blog (esp. noting my recent coverage of Guy Laliberte, Onedrop.org, and Cirque du Soleil), and other blog-hopping synchronauts should find this tidbit to be quite interesting...


Cirque du Soleil performer dies of head injuries
Last Updated: Saturday, October 17, 2009 | 8:31 PM ET - CBC News
A Cirque du Soleil performer has died in a Montreal hospital after suffering head injuries when he fell off a trampoline while training Friday.

The Cirque issued a statement Saturday saying Oleksandr Zhurov, a Ukrainian in his 20s, had died. The accident happened during a regular training session at a Montreal facility where the international troupe rehearses for shows.

An emergency services official said Zhurov was unconscious when an ambulance arrived at the scene.

"He had head trauma, so we quickly transported the victim to the hospital," said Benoit Garneau, operations chief for an ambulance service.

"Today, it is all of Cirque that is in mourning," said Guy Laliberté, the troupe's founder. "I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Sacha. My thoughts are with his parents and his family, to whom I offer my deepest sympathy.

"Sacha was part of the extended Cirque family for the few months he was among us," he said. "An incident like this reminds us of the courage and determination displayed by our artists each and every day. They are exceptional human beings who share their talents with great generosity."

The Cirque said it would not make any further comments since a coroner's inquiry into the death is underway. It added that it would co-operate fully with the investigation.

Laliberte makes safe return
By JEAN-PHILIPPE ARCAND, QMI Agency
Last Updated: 11th October 2009, 4:30pm

MONTREAL – After a 12-day voyage into space, Guy Laliberte made a safe return to earth early Sunday morning.

The Soyuz space capsule containing Canada’s first space tourist, along with Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka and American astronaut Michael Barratt, touched down without incident in Kazakhstan.

Laliberte’s friends and family were able to watch the landing from the Canadian Space Agency’s facilities back home in Canada.

The billionaire founder of the Cirque du Soleil was helped out of the capsule wearing his trademark red clown’s nose. He needed several minutes to acclimatize himself to the earth’s gravity before he was able to move around without assistance.

On Sept. 30, Laliberte blasted off from the Russian space centre at Baikonur, Kazakhstan, on his way to the International Space Station (ISS). His crewmates on that initial trip were the American Jeffrey Williams and the Russian Maksim Surayev, who will remain aboard the ISS until next March.

Barratt and Padalka were already on the ISS when Laliberte arrived.

The 50-year-old is the world’s seventh space tourist and paid $35 million for the experience. He used his time on the ISS to showcase his One Drop Foundation whose mission is to promote the availability of clean drinking water around the world.

While in orbit, Laliberte hosted a two-hour broadcast featuring Cirque performers as well as David Suzuki, former US vice-president Al Gore, and musicians U2 and Shakira.

SaTURn and the Weeping Virgin - 10.13

A theoretical and speculative exploration of one of Freemasonry's more peculiar symbols...


(fig. A)


(fig. B)

I believe, and it is just my opinion and interpretation, that this symbol may be referencing or marking this particular moment in time.

We see in both depictions of the symbol above that Saturn (STUR / Kronos / Chronos), the angel-winged figure tucked in close behind the female, has his scythe in the down position... non-threatening.

How Saturn appeared from Earth on September 4, 2009:


This could be said to be the time at which the rings of Saturn disappear as Earth passess through their plane, as it did on September 4, 2009.

Another interesting note is that at this very moment in time...

The Columns were broken - the towers came down (WAEB and KRKO towers of September 4, 2009).

It occured during the time of the Sun in Virgo - Which occurs from August 23 to September 22 in Western tropical astrology and September 13 to October 13 in Sidereal and Hindu (Vedic) astrology.


SaTUR-Day September 19, 2009 is the Jewish New Year's Day in the Hebrew Calendar.

It will be the 1st day of Tishri, 5770 and Rosh HaShanah

Rosh HaShanah, in 5770 / 2009 is celebrated from sundown on Friday September 18 and ends at nightfall on Sunday September 20.

About 10 days later, from Sunset September 27, 2009 to nightfall on September 28, 2009, it will be YOM KIPPUR - the Jewish Day of Atonement



Side Note (from CNN):

'Massive' ancient wall uncovered in Jerusalem"

'Massive' ancient wall uncovered in Jerusalem
Story Highlights
Made of boulders weighing 4 to 5 tons, the 3,700-year-old wall is 26 feet high
Archaeologist: "I don't know how to do it today without mechanical equipment"
Wall is believed to have been built by Canaanites
Fri September 4, 2009

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- An archaeological dig in Jerusalem has turned up a 3,700-year-old wall that is the largest and oldest of its kind found in the region, experts say.

The wall is built of enormous boulders, confounding archaeologists as to how ancient peoples built it.

Standing 8 meters (26 feet) high, the wall of huge cut stones is a marvel to archaeologists.

"To build straight walls up 8 meters ... I don't know how to do it today without mechanical equipment," said the excavation's director, Ronny Reich. "I don't think that any engineer today without electrical power [could] do it."

Archaeologist Eli Shukron of the Israel Antiquities Authority added, "You see all the big boulders -- all the boulders are 4 to 5 tons."

The discovered section is 24 meters (79 feet) long. "However, it is thought the fortification is much longer because it continues west beyond the part that was exposed," the Israel Antiquities Authority said in a news release.

Watch report on the discovery of the ancient wall




SUN-Day September 13, 2009:
Is day of the little known Christian Feast of the Cross
The date used for the feast marks the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 335 ad. This was a two-day festival: although the actual consecration of the church was on September 13, the cross itself was brought outside the church on September 14 so that the clergy and faithful could pray before the True Cross, and all could come forward to venerate it.
The celebration is sometimes called Feast of the Glorious Cross.

Side Note:
9/13 is coincidentally the date of the MTV VMAs which I wrote about in KT Perry - Russell Brand and the 2009 MTV VMAs

9/15 is coincidentally the the release date of Dan Brown's (Angels & Demons / The DaVinci Code) next novel The Lost Symbol


Before we get back to our Weeping Virgin symbols above...
We need to look at a little astronomy:

September 4, 2009 - We saw the rings of Saturn disappear due to our planar position relative to the rings. It was also a Full Moon.

September 18, 2009 - (Rosh HaShanah) There will be a New Moon.

October 13th, 2009 - there will be a very close conjunction of Venus and Saturn.
Tiny Mercury will also be just below the pair, and all three will be joined by the Moon on the 16th of October. Venus rising in the morning before the Sun, in ancient times was known as the "Morning Star" Lucifer/Eosphorus (When Venus rises after the Sun it was known as Vesper/Hesperus)

According to Sky News Magazine the Saturn-Venus-and then Mercury and Moon conjunction is one of the Top 10 Best Astonomical events of 2009.
October 8-16, 2009 (8/8)
MERCURY-VENUS-SATURN CONJUNCTIONS (MORNING)
A striking performance of planetary dancing occurs predawn in October. On October 8, Saturn swings within 20 arc minutes of Mercury, then on October 13, it passes 30 arc minutes from Venus. Three days later, as shown here, the waning Moon joins the trio of dawn planets, with Saturn above and Mercury below a pairing of Venus and the Moon



IMAGE COURTESY STARRY NIGHT PRO PLUS™/IMAGINOVA CANADA LTD.

According to the NASA Saturn Cassini Equinox Observation web site:
October 2009 - The early bird gets a wonderful view of Saturn, Mercury and Venus this month. On the 8th look for Saturn, tiny Mercury, and Venus together low on the eastern horizon 45 minutes before sunrise. On the 13th Venus and Saturn make a pretty pair. If you are up early, don't miss the moon near Mars on the 11th and 12th. And on the 16th the moon joins Venus and Saturn, all in the dawn sky. Saturn's ring tilt (showing the north face of the rings) is 1.5 degrees this month.




More Astronomy on ARKSKY:

Venus - By Venus standards, this planet is quite small throughout September; it will be far easier to spot Venus in dark skies, before dawn's first glow, the first week of September; after that the planet very slowly will creep eastward and rise just a bit later each morning, until on September 30, it will be on the horizon at dawn. Approaching superior conjunction with the sun from Earth, the planet is distant now and appears only 12 arc seconds, only one fifth what it can appear when closest to the Earth


Again More Astronomy on ARKSKY:

Venus - Now a brilliant morning object, Venus rises ahead of both Mercury and Saturn (see Mercury, above). Venus is nearly fully illuminated this month and will be the brightest object in the morning skies until it is joined by the waning moon during the second week of October. NOTE: look for a magnificent pairing of Saturn and Venus during the mornings of Oct. 10-16 when Saturn moves eastward and "overtakes" Venus in the sky....an incredible show to watch morning after morning. On Oct. 16, the pair will be joined by the very thin crescent moon.
.
Saturn - Saturn is now in the dawn of morning sky; although rising only as dawn breaks on the first, look for the magnificent ringed planet to rise about 3 hours earlier by the END of October. The rings of the beautiful planet are continuing to "open back up" after being nearly edge on in late 2008 and this tilt makes for a beautiful view telescopically. At this time, the rings are VERY much closes up to our line of sight, and angled ONLY 3 degrees! This results in Saturn being much dimmer than it normally would appear, even to the naked eye, when the rings are wide "open" and reflecting maximum sunlight. NOTE the beautiful pairing with Venus (see VENUS, above) Note that on the morning of Oct. 8, Saturn and MERCURY will be only 1/3 degree apart in the sky!....look about 45 minutes prior to sunrise . THEN on October 13, Saturn will pair up with much brighter VENUS and be only 1/2 degree from that planet. Both of these conjunctions can be photographed in the same low power field of view on many telescopes!






Animation of October 2009 and Venus-Saturn-Mecury-Moon alignment






OK, Now back to our Weeping Virgin symbols above...

We have SaTURn/STUR and the Virgin/Virgo/Venus, we know that's her because the astrological symbol of VIRGO is appearing in the Ring and Banner in fig.B. above.

So now that we're on fig.B. above, we see that Saturn and Venus are surrounded by an empty/hollow Ring.

This aspect of the image coincides with multiple things:

It shows us that they are close together, as we see they will be from the astronomy above.

It shows us that their closeness will occur during the Sun in Virgo, via the astrological symbol, which we see will be the case from the dates and astrology.

The Hollow Ring can also represent the closeness to the SUN, which we have read will be occuring during this time of Sept 4, 2009 - Oct 16, 2009.

The Column can represent the Sun, the year(changing), or Mercury - All of which we have read are relevant during this time. We see this accentuated by the fallen towers that I recently wrote about.
The FALLEN, in the AM (AM Radio Towers) also links to Lucifer. Further accentuating the Venus in the AM (Morning) as the Morning Star (See above link).

The book on the broken column likely being the Bible, as it holds the center place on the center altar in a Masonic lodge, it, along with the hour glass, further accentuates the time of the Jewish New Year.

We also see that SaTURn, has his spinning scythe - his rings, in the down, non-threatening or there and blade-turned-away position, as we read from my article previous to this one has just occurred. His Scythe forms a small crescent as will the Moon phase when it joins the 3 planets in conjuction.

As SaTURn stands behind the Virgin unfolding the ringlets of her hair, we can see that this alludes to their closeness, proximity to one another, and also that it will take time to unfold the hidden meaning of this symbol.

The Virign is called the Weeping Virgin to attract our attention to the fact that shes actually "VENUS" - from the ancient mythology of "VENUS weeping over Adonis". This mythos is also depicted in another famous painting by esoteric/occult painter, Nicolas Poussin - most famous for his "Les Bergers d'Arcadie"

The Banner shows us three astrological symbols and one planetary symbol. The Symbols from the top-most right to the lower left are: Leo, SaTURn, Virgo, and Libra

It is also interesting to note that the planet Saturn is Exalted in the constellation/zodiac sign of Libra.
and an interesting note that the planet Mercury is Exalted in the constellation/zodiac sign of Virgo.



From the symbols on the Banner, we can see that the Conjunction of Saturn and Venus, depicted in fig.B., is to take place between the time of the Sun's progression in the Zodiac from Leo to Libra. Which, from the astronomy details above, we see is coinciding with this time.
Add to this the current "elevationally invisible" planar position of Saturn rings, a 14 year phenomenon, and we see that this symbol can clearly point to a Venus-Saturn conjunction that is to occur between LEO and LIBRA in the year 2009 !

In Freemasonry the following views on the symbols are held:

Masonry still retains among its emblems one of a woman weeping over a broken column, holding in her hand a branch of acacia, myrtle, or tamarisk, while Time, we are told, stands behind her combing out the ringlets of her hair. We need not repeat the vapid and trivial explanation... given, of this representation of Isis, weeping at Byblos, over the column torn from the palace of the King, that contained the body of Osiris, while Horus, the God of Time, pours ambrosia on her hair.
- Illustrious Albert Pike 33° - Morals and Dogma, page 379



The broken column denotes the untimely death of our Grand Master Hiram Abiff; the beautiful Virgin, weeping, denotes the Temple, unfinished; the book open before her, that his virtues there lie on perpetual record; the sprig of acacia in her right hand, the timely discovery of his body; the urn in her left, that his ashes were there safely deposited to perpetuate the remembrance of so distinguished a character; and Time standing behind her unfolding the ringlets of her hair denotes that time, patience and perseverance will accomplish all things...
- Duncan's Masonic Ritual and Monitor, by Malcom C. Duncan, [1866]



In The Secret Teachings of All Ages author Manly P. Hall 33° (though he was not a Freemason at the time of the book's publication) says this:
Other authors consider Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius as the three murderers of the sun, inasmuch as Osiris was murdered by Typhon, to whom were assigned the thirty degrees of the constellation of Scorpio. In the Christian Mysteries also Judas signifies the Scorpion, and the thirty pieces of silver for which he betrayed His Lord represent the number of degrees in that sign. Having been struck by Libra (the state), Scorpio (the church), and Sagittarius (the mob), the sun (CHiram) is secretly home through the darkness by the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces and buried over the brow of a hill (the vernal equinox). Capricorn has for its symbol an old man with a scythe in his hand. This is Father Time-- a wayfarer--who is symbolized in Masonry as straightening out the ringlets of a young girl's hair. If the Weeping Virgin be considered a symbol of Virgo, and Father Time with his scythe a symbol of Capricorn, then the interval of ninety degrees between these two signs will be found to correspond to that occupied by the three murderers. Esoterically, the urn containing the ashes of CHiram represents the human heart. Saturn, the old man who lives at the north pole, and brings with him to the children of men a sprig of evergreen (the Christmas tree), is familiar to the little folks under the name of Santa Claus, for he brings each winter the gift of a new year.


PhoenixMasonry.org provides another long exploration of this symbol and tells us this:

No logical reason has been advanced why the woman who mourned and read in the book was a "beautiful virgin." No scriptural account tells of the Master Builder having wife or daughter or any female relative except his mother. The Israelites reverenced womanhood and appreciated virginity, but they were just as reverent over mother and child. Indeed, the bearing of children, the increase of the tribe, the desire for sons, was strong in the Twelve Tribes; why, then, the accent upon the virginity of the woman in the monument? "Time standing behind her, unfolding and counting the ringlets of her hair" is dramatic, but also out of character for the times. "Father Time" with his scythe is probably a descendant of the Greek Chromos, who carried a sickle or reaping hook, but the Israelites had no contact with Greece. It may have been natural for whoever invented the marble monument emblem to conclude that Time was both a world-wide and a time immemorial symbolic figure, but it could not have been so at the era in which Solomon's Temple was built.
