exploring stories from mythology, conveying wisdom and healing, in an effort to foster connection to nature and
our ancestors.

We create ritual crafts with ethical aesthetics. Our work is inspired by the worlds of spirits, animals, plants and are
observed through the ocular lenses of the moving spheres. Onça Ritual Offerings are dedicated to the feline animal
spirit and promote cruelty free living.

Accouterments

The Vedic planets are normally listed in the order of the days of the week. They are the Sun, the Moon,
Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn plus the two eclipse points. These are the Lunar nodes called
Rāhu (the North node) and Ketu (the South node). The Vedic ‘planets’ are often referred to as ‘Grahas’,
the Sanskrit word which means ‘graspers’, as they appear to guide and control our experiences.

THE BELL-CAULDRON SERIES

Infuse. Ignite. Fumigate. Evoke.

Onça Bell-Cauldron series are accommodating magical ritual practice to a new level. The series try to im-
personate cosmically tuned accouterments through the complex use of material, shape and sound res-
onances. Each construct has been assigned to serve a certain musical harmony, cosmic force, through
which the sensual experience of magical ritual, has been enhanced. Taking into consideration the use
of sacred geometry and musical vibration, Onça Bell-Cauldron initiated series of alchemical assigned
and versatile in their functionality cauldrons.

Berlin residing artisans came together to contribute with their crafts, in the making of 12 Onça Bell-Caul-
dron original pieces. Each assigned Planetary Cauldron is serving as initiation gong for the ritual. The
activated Planetary Sphere energy is evoked through the corresponding musical key created by the
Bell-Cauldron. The initiation of ritual magic with fire, water, air and earth elements, is accompanied
with assigned accouterments.

Each Bell-Cauldron planetary chest, holds specifically shaped elements build from materials, that assist
the Initiator on their journey through each Planetary Gate Keeper. The blessed state of the 7th sphere
could be reached, because in each of us the divine spark resides within. And yet, our life is just as petals
of a flower that comprises the blooming of our lives. Acknowledging that we are not the orbital of all
things, not the controller of the world surrounding us. We surrender to the Planets, who are the rep-
resentatives of the "Gods", that function as administration-unity of the Cosmos. The question is how to
serve the larger divine-whole? When we see the interconnectedness of all, as simply a choice to see the
divinity of the moment in eternity.

SOUND: Onça Bell-Cauldron statistics is one key of F#. This copper bowl has powerful therapeutic effect
and uplifting vibration. Sound sample can be found in here: thestarreader.com/jupiter-bell-cauldron

KEY COMPONENTS

~ Copper is a super conductor, allowing energy to flow to and from, it easily combines with other metals
and it transfers warmth and electricity.

~ Marble is said to help bring strength for difficult circumstances and encourage positive focus to bring
physical and emotional improvements.

~ Sodalite is known as "poet's stone" and "stone of truth", has a strong vibration that helps develop psychic
abilities, intuition and logical thinking. It has powerful metaphysics to revive hidden creative abilities and
deepen understanding of the philosophical principles. Improves communications and inner peace.

~ Peacock Feather is associated with Jupiter and the “all seeing eye”. The peacock is symbol wealth and
royalty. Peacock’s feather are most spectacular and their beauty is not only associated with the material,
physical idea of beauty, but also is higher, mystical and divine. Hera his wife, is also associated with the
peacock and always found in her near. Peacock feathers have been used in Buddhist rituals for purification
of the soul. Chinese legend saying that a look from a peacock could make a woman get pregnant?

ENERGETICS

We should also take into consideration that the materials create also powerful combination of forces. The
Egyptians used copper alloy to make jewelry, this metal conducts heat and electricity well. The shiny red
metal was the oldest to be found in various civilizations from time immemorial. In alchemy, the element
shares its symbol of Venus and is associated with goddess Aphrodite because of its luminescent beauty, it
symbolizes love, balance and harmony. In alchemy, Jupiter represents the metal Tin. The tin wire connect-
ed to Jupiter, which he rules as he is associated with lightning and the male vitality. Tin was used in the
gathering of Atmospheric Etheric Energy (AEE). Marble-cement is connected to the Earth, Saturn and Jupi-
ter. All places sacred, would be lined with marble. Negative spirits could not tolerate the high frequencies
emitted from the marble temples. Mixture of ashes from the resins, charcoal and sand was created from
the consecration of this set.

To the alchemist, the Peacock’s Tail symbolized the completion of their goal, it could mean a layer of oil on
the watery mass or oxidation reaction on the liquid metal. But it does not mean that the metal has attained
its final transformation. It merely means that the process of obtaining something unique out of it is possible.

JUPITER COSMOLOGY

"When I stood up from my seat and let the flood break in, then the judgment of Earth and Heaven went out of joint...
The gods, which trembled, the stars of heaven- their position changed, and I did not bring them back". - Marduk

For the ancients, the planets were the Wanderers. Jupiter is astronomically called the fifth planet, but
in astrology it is considered to be the sixth sphere. After the Moon, Sun and Venus, it is the brightest
body in our skies. Ever since we have developed the technology, we have tried to unravel the myster-
ies of the Wanderer by sending machines. Jupiter is a gas giant with a mass one-thousandth that of
the Sun, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined. Its atmo-
sphere is mainly made up of Hydrogen and Helium. Today we are aware that Jupiter has 79 known
natural satellites. Of these, 63 are less than 10 kilometers in diameter and have only been discovered
since 1975. The four largest moons, visible from Earth with binoculars on a clear night, known as the
"Galilean moons", are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Along with its moons, Jupiter's gravitation-
al field controls numerous asteroids that have settled into the regions of the Lagrangian points pre-
ceding and following Jupiter in its orbit around the Sun. These are known as the Trojan asteroids, and
are divided into Greek and Trojan "camps" to commemorate the Iliad. The first of these, 588 Achilles,
was discovered by Max Wolf in 1906; since then more than two thousand have been discovered. The
largest is 624 Hektor.

Jupiter has the shortest time of rotation among planets, thus Jupiter has the shortest day of all the
planets. Jupiter rotates on its axis once every 9 hours and 55 minutes. Jupiter completes one orbit
around the Sun every 11.8 Earth years. If we see from Earth’s point of view, The Jupiter seem to move
slowly in the sky. Jupiter is known for its large red spot which is actually a huge storm. The huge
storm is so large that three Earths could fit inside it. The storm on Jupiter was observed as early as
1665 but this is not sure if the storm observed then is the same red storm that we see today. If this is
the same storm, then red spot has existed for about 350 years. The storm is about 12,400 miles (20,000

24 ONÇA
kilometers) long and 7,500 miles (12,000 km) wide, about two to three times larger than Earth. Winds at its
oval edges can reach up to 425 mph (680 km/h). This giant storm was first recorded in 1831 but may have
first been discovered in 1665.

2020 began after a significant Jupiter and Pluto conjunction in December 2019, with two more conjunc-
tions following. Jupiter will conjoin Saturn on 21st of December, marking major events, restructuring the
structure, causing major cataclysmic events. This conjunction will be the closest since 1623. From Earth’s
perspective, this pattern is seen as important sequence of conjunctions and oppositions of Saturn and
Jupiter, whos conjunctions grace the heavens every 20 years. Above we see the hexagram created by these
positions, with conjunctions marked on the outside of the zodiac and oppositions marked inside.

The great conjunction is known as The Golden Clock. The two giants focus their Golden Section on us, in
space and time, reinforcing the geometry of life on Earth. The Golden Section defined here is space and
time to a stunning 99% accuracy. Meeting again in December 2020 in 0° Aquarius, marking the beginning
of new cycle in tropical air signs until 2159. Thus 2020 is at the end of a two-hundred-year era of Jupiter
and Saturn uniting in earth signs. This will be a once in a lifetime experience. That is the primary reason
why ONÇA decided to dedicate the second Bell-Cauldron for ritual working with Jupiter. Could this be the
beginning of the final synthesis of the Piscean age, entering into the new air energy? Jupiter will also be
squaring Uranus three times in 2021, dramatically reshaping society and shifting individual energies. We
need to ask ourselves what we have to leave behind and what we truly desire to carry forward to the new
cosmic age. The Trigon of the Great Conjunction (next page above) presented itself as the instrument by
which one could "narrow down" the almost imperceptible tempo of the Precession. To move through the
whole zodiac, one of the angles of the Trigon needs approximately 3 x 794⅓=2383 years. That comes tolera-

ONÇA 25
bly near to one double-hour of the greatest "day" of the Precession of 25,900 years. Our own era, the Age
of Pisces, started with a great conjunction in Pisces, in the year 6 B.C..

By means of this Trigon, Saturn does give panta ta metra continiously to his son Zeus, and this same Tri-
gon appears to be called "genus" in the Orphic fragment already quoted (155 Kern), where Zeus address-
es Kronos with the words, "Set in motion our genus, excellent Demon." And Proclus alluded to it in his
statement (ibid), "And Kronos seems to have with him the higher causes of junctions and separations."

•V•
"In order to rule over space, one has to be master of time."
- Chinese saying

Jupiter’s symbol presents the crescent of the (Moon) soul, dominating the cross of matter, indicating the
elevation of Matter to quasi-spiritual status, and its outpouring through experience (the Soul). This is a
product of human evolution, whereby the lunar mechanism of response to material sense perceptions
gradually develops into more sophisticated personal feelings and social responses, leading in turn to
the growth of the higher mind with its abstract capabilities. Thus, Jupiter represents wisdom arising
through a long chain leading ultimately from response to sense impressions of the material world.

Schulman interprets the glyph as showing the crescent of Soul rising from the West of the cross of Matter
(the West symbolizing maturity), denoting the assimilation of early material learning into later soul wisdom.

26 ONÇA
Four groups of Moons orbit Jupiter. The first two groups have four moons each and look very like a mod-
el of the whole solar system - four smaller inner bodies followed by four big outer bodies. The second
group, of four particularly large moons, the Galienas, is further divided into two smaller rocky worlds,
Io and Europa, then two gas and ice moons the size of planets, Ganyamede and Callisto. The last two
moons are the size of the planet Mercury and produce one of the most perfect space-time patterns in
the solar system. An observer living on either moon would experience the motions of the other in space
and time as the beautiful fourfold diagram shown above.

The grouping into four is striking. Each of the four groups has its own general moon size, orbital, period
and distance from Jupiter (the inclinations of the four orbital planets of the four groups even add up to
90°, a quarter of a circle 99.8%).

Shown above are the dances of Jupiter with different planets from Earth's perspective. An asteroid belt
and 550 million km separate Mars' and Jupiter's orbits, further than Earth is from the Sun. Jupiter is the
first and largest of the gas giants, the vacuum cleaner of the solar system. If Jupiter had gathered only
slightly more material during its long and ongoing formation its internal pressures would have turned
it into a star and we would have had a second Sun.

JUPITER ASTROLOGY &
MYTHOLOGY
The fool who knows his foolishness, is wise at least so far.
But a fool who thinks himself wise, he is called a fool indeed. - Dhammapada 5:63

Name: (Latin and Greek) Jupiter, resp. Iupiter and Zeus.

Nickname: They call me too Saturnius, because my father Saturn is called, or Kronion. Another nick-
name is also "thunderer".

My family: My father's name is Saturn (Kronos), my mother's name is Rhea (Cybele). I am the young-
est of six Siblings.

My five siblings are: Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Hestia.

Birth type: My father was oracle, that one of his children took him off the throne will fall. So he de-
voured them all my siblings right after that Birth. At least my mother wanted to save me and after i
was born was put them to my father instead of me a stone wrapped in cloth that he held for me and
devoured too. However, my mother gave me as a nymph Amaltheia, who lived in a cave (Dikte) on
Crete. This pulled me up.

Place of residence: I live on Mount Olympus, but of course Crete is one for sentimental reasons im-
portant place for me.

I'm with: My first wife was the sea nymph Metis, who helped me, mine To free siblings from the
belly of my father. But I had to unfortunately to kill because I had been prophesied that she would
have a powerful offspring, that could be dangerous to me. As a precaution, I gave birth to the child

myself. The was by the way Athene. My current wife is Juno (Hera). I value them very highly, but I am
not especially faithful. That is why I have an enormous number of children, all of which I cannot even
list. Here are just a few: Apollo, Mars, Mercurius, Bacchus, Perseus, Hercules, Aeacus, Rhadamanthus,
Minos, Minerva, Venus, Proserpina.

Swarms for: beautiful women and nymphs, such as: Io, Callisto, Europa, Semele, Danaë, Antiope, but
also for handsome men, especially my cupbearer Ganymedes.

Favorite subjects: I am the representative of divine justice, Who Hospitality, wise government and oaths.
Besides, this is me the most powerful protectors of the state and the family.

Unchangeable marks: My best-known marks are lightning bolts, which I have to hurl from time to time
to punish others or for harm to avert. For example I had to kill Sol's son, Phaëton, so that he could the
whole earth does not burn with the chariot of fire.

Favorite animal: My favorite animal is the Taurus, especially when it is white. This is because, because
the bull is the wildest and most powerful animal. I also once in transformed into a beautiful, white bull,
so that I can remember the beautiful king's daughter Europe come up. Otherwise the eagle is still the
animal that is associated with me, because he is the king of the air. When the eagle transformed my
­cupbearer, Ganymedes, kidnapped, who is now still with me on Mount Olympus.

Character traits: I actually have a very good sense of justice, but -admittedly - I like to use my power
and strength, e.g. when it comes to, seducing beautiful women. But also when I cheat on my wife Juno

ONÇA 29
(Hera) and also often sometimes joke with her, I appreciate her very much and don't want to hear about
her dispense. But I can also be very strict. You noticed that, for example, when I did turned god-despis-
ing Lycaon into a wolf or when I was the big one Flood sent over the earth. So that it could be used by
bad people is cleaned. If, however, you haven't got yourself into debt, I'll show you too Pity. So I saved
­Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha from the great flood. Another example would be that I turned Callisto
into a bear from my wife was turned, and turned her son Arcas into stars so it wouldn't turn into a sad
one Matricide is coming.

Hobbies: I like to transform myself into other shapes or appearances, such as into a bull, into the god-
dess Diana to seduce Callisto, in golden rain to impregnate Danaë. In general is seducing Women proba-
bly my biggest hobby. I also put people to the test every now and then, like I did with Lycaon to find out
if he honors the gods. I also visited Philemon and Baucis once in Human form, to see if they also honor
the right to hospitality. Otherwise I like to save the world, like I did in the great world fire which Phaeton
had caused and which I then killed with my lightning bolts.

I think that's good: When there is a pious sacrifice to the gods and especially to me, when that Hospi-
tality is respected, oaks. I think that's stupid: When people behave improperly towards gods, as it does
Lycaon has done when my wife is jealous and one of my lovers is too hard again fined.

I would take these three things with me to a desert island: (kind of a conclusion)
1. My cupbearer Ganymedes
2. My lightning bolts
3. My wife, because without her I can't ...

Guru = Jupiter
Jupiter is called Guru in sanskrit, which means teacher. The sounds of the name represent the light (Ru)
shed on the darkness (Gu). Jupiter removes the darkness of ignorance. The state and condition of Jupiter
will indicate one's perception of the divine. Jupiter is strongest at sunrise when the day is beginning, and
as such, the blessings of Jupiter are good to begin any new event. Jupiter represents knowledge, wisdom
and understanding. It is said that any mantra addressed to Jupiter is regarded as a eulogy of knowledge.
Jupiter is the greatest benefic; he brings blessings, knowledge, grace, and wealth wherever he is placed.
When he looks at another planet or house he gives energy and support helping to overcome any prob-
lem. Juputer shows the value of things, how much they are worth. He shows personal values; what has
meaning in life, what is thought to be important. If Jupiter is with Mercury, then writing is valued, if
Jupiter is with the Moon then there are high social values, if Jupiter is with the Sun then spirituality and
truth are highly valued. While the Sun is the soul of all, Jupiter is the individual soul.

Nibiru = Jupiter
The plain meaning of nibiru is "ferry, ferryman, ford" - mikis nibiri is the toll one has to pay for crossing the
river - from eberu "the cross". Alfred Jeremias insists that Nibiru "in all star-texts or later times" indicates
Canopus, taking this star for the provider of the meridian of the city of Babylon.

ONÇA 31
Horus = Jupiter
Horus comes forth from death. As we know, he is born of the magical union of his mother, Isis, and his
re-animated father, Osiris, who was killed by Set. Inherent in the symbolism of Horus is the inevitability
of new life following upon the heels of death.

In Egyptian mythology Horus is a solar god, often depicted with a human body and the head of a falcon,
a type of hawk. Falcons are fast, assertive, and aggressive. Horus is associated with the youthful energy
of the new day and often aligned with the pharaoh. He has the energy of youthful power, inevitably over-
coming the dying energy of the old king.

As a solar deity, Horus is a creature of the light. He represents the force within that wishes to bring our
creative aspect into fruition, to manifest our desires in reality. Horus wants to be acknowledged, to be
seen, heard, and felt by those around him. Young and vital, he expresses the intensity of the life force
manifested in physical form. Those born with a prominent Jupiter in their chart want to experience life
to the hilt—to taste all there is to taste, feel all there is to feel, to experience all there is to experience.

Visits from Horus provide the opportunity to expand into new aspects of expression and to bring cre-
ative projects into form. Expansive energy courses through us; new ideas are formed; new creative ac-
tions taken under transits of Jupiter. Uncle Horus encourages us with his boundless enthusiasm and
playful attitude to open to new ideas and experiences. “The sky’s the limit,” he tells us.

Deva Vamana = Jupiter


The Jupiter incarnation of Vishnu is as a small Brahmin boy. He carried an umbrella to protect himself

32 ONÇA
from the Sun. The umbrella is a symbolic of a position of power, as well as a gentle protection and com-
fort from the harshness of life. The Jupiterian Visnu incarnation was peaceful and gentle and respect-
fully approached the demon king. Through modesty he conquered and restored order to the world. Both
incarnations found the loop holes to overcome the demons (representing obstacles), and in the same
way, their worship helps one find step or a way to overcome the planet's respective obstacles.

Jupiter- Hamsa Mahapurusa


Hamsa means swan and spirit. The swan is a pure white bird gracefully floating on top of the water of
maya which is the world yet it stays unsullied by the water and graceful like the atma (soul) inside of
each person. A realized being becomes a paramahamsa (a great soul) because of their realization of this
atma. One of Jupiter's names is Jiva, or the individual soul, and its name as "so ham" or "hamsa" comes
from the sound of the breath emanating from the jivatma. The Hamsa Mahapurusa has the best quali-
ties of Jupiter, they are knowledgeable and are benefactors of the spiritual sciences. Parasara says they
have the voice of the "swan", are fair complexioned, have a good face, a noble/prominent nose, honey or
light brown eyes and a reddish tint to their finger and toe nails. They suffer excess kapha/phlegm, have
freshly well mounded cheeks, a round head and well formed feet. They have good intelligence, are land
owners, or sovereigns, owning land between rivers. They enjoy water sports and cannot satisfy their
love and passion enough. They die after having enjoyed all happiness on earth.

Jupiter rules the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces, ruling the 9th and 12th houses in the Zodiacal Wheel.
The Pisces (Sothis- Egyptian) glyph can be identified by its representation of two fish joined together. As
well, it shows two crescents of receptivity pointing outwards, held together by the line of matter. Pisces
is mutable water sign. The process of expansion through the sign of Pisces is internal. Pisces is feminine
yin sign, that symbolizes the merging of the soul with the cosmic ocean. Pisces expression is through
dreaming, subconscious travel, psychological exploration, infinite love, compassion and devotion. The
fish excepts the transience nature of reality. Pisces are representing the hidden matters as waves of kar-
ma, that wash the soul to their destined shores. As a negative traits this dual sign expression can turn
into dark, unpredictable as a shark, drowning in delusion, self inflicting martyrdom, self undoing, lost
victim or covert narcissist.

The glyph for Sagittarius is represented by an arrow in flight "the eternal quest". Sagittarius is the mas-
culine, yang expression of Jupiter's external energy. It is mutable fire sign. Seeking learning of the self,
adopting philosophies or religious systems, through study, distant travels, embracing foreign cultures.
Jupiter in Sagittarius is warm and optimistic, promoting faith and passion. The dark side of the Cen-
taurus, can turn into rootless nomad, with excess of experiences, without judgment of whether they
are ethical or useful. In the 27th degree of Sagittarius is located the "end of the sky" or "the edge of the
Galaxy". This is the Polynesian whirlpool, known by the medieval geographers as the "Umbilicus Maris",
"Navel of the Sea" or "Euripus".

As the Archer (Sagittarius- Latin, Sekhmet- Egyptian) reaches with his bow towards the last 27th de-
gree of Sagittarius, he aims to shoot the sacred fire towards the belly of the Milky Way, where our souls
transcend. This degree is called the Galactic Center, extending the energies beyond our natural limits.

Any planets passing through these late Sagittarius degrees, seem to create "other worldly" psychological
impact. A huge Black Hole is thought to be at the center, about the size of a large star, but containing the
mass of four million suns. The staggering amount of material being drawn into the black hole radiates
energy at many measurable frequencies.

Fixed Stars:
Aspects of these stars, found in these constellations are related to Jupiterian personalities.

Antares is one of the royal fixed stars, called "The heart of the Scorpion", residing in 10° Sagittarius. Ant-
Ares is anti-war, Mars like, taking over conflict.

Fomalhaut is blue star in 4° Pisces, located on the fishes mouth. It brings royalty through mastery of
poetry. Bestows artistry talent for understanding magic, divinity.

TIBETAN MOUNTAIN GODS
The Mythology of the Mountain God Anyesrmachen

The Anyesrmachen Mountain is a range at the southern end of Kukunor. In Tibetan, it is known vari-
ously as rma-chen-spon-ra, rma-rgyalspom-ra, ram-gnyan-spon-ra, and ram-ygyal; locally, it is called
anyesrmachen. In Tibetan mythology, anyesrmachen is a great god who lives in the east; his worship is
particularly widespread in the pastoral region of mdo-khams, an area also known for the prevalence of
the Gesar epic. In fact, the mountain god anyesrmachen plays a key genealogical role in the epic. In the
passage telling how King Gesar’s mother klu-mo-vgog-mo dreams of a yellow man (mi-ser-po) who has
sex with her, with the result that she later gives birth to Gesar, the yellow man is in fact the mountain god
anyesrmachen. The Gesar epic also explains that the mountain god can make the yak and the mare fer-
tile and can strengthen other animals. The snowy waters of anyesrmachen, guardian of mankind, can
cure diseases such as leprosy. Although textual research into the early iconography of anyesrmachen is
not possible, some traces of it may be seen in an old song popular in the Amdo region:

Is there a head for the upper rma-rgyal mountain?


If there is, is there any brain?
Is there a waist for the upper rma-rgyal mountain?
Is there a belly for the upper rma-rgyal mountain?
If there is, are there any bowels?
The upper mountain rma rgyal has no head.
If it had a head, it should have a brain.
The falling snow is the brain.
The upper mountain rma rgyal has a waist.
If it has a waist, there must be a belt to tie it up.
The clouds and fog in the mountains are the belt.

The upper mountain rma rgyal has a belly.


If it has a belly, it must have bowels.
The poisonous snakes going into their holes are the bowels.

In the the ancient song, the images of the mountain god are extremely unstable, and his appearance as
nature god is the most prevalent aspect of his presentation. However, in Buddhist ritual texts, the moun-
tain god is described as wearing armor and a white fighting gown studded with decorative gems. He is
often pictured waving a spear with a fixed flag in his left hand, while holding a magic bowl full of gems
his right hand. Around one of his upper arms is wrapped a bag made of eagle-skin (nevu-levi-rkyalpa).
He rides a magic horse that gallops as fast as a cloud.

His wife is the goddess rma-chen, also known by the names gungsman-
ma and rma-ri-rab-vgyams rdo-rje-dgra-mo-rgyal, and she has her
own extensive mythology. She originally lived on the anyesrmachen
mountain and was considered the greatest of the twelve goddesses (bstanma-
bcu-gnhyis). Tibetan ritual texts describe her in this way: she rides a
stag as white as a conch, and her body is as white as the snowy mountains.
She is extremely beautiful, and her hair is plaited with colorful ribbons. In
her right hand she holds a magical mirror, in her left a lasso and an iron
hook. Dressed in a silk coat, she is adorned with a golden crown decorated
with diverse gems atop her head. She also wears a pearl necklace, bracelets,
and anklets; a shining bell is fixed to the belt around her waist.
A Tibetan prayer gives another description of rma-chen:
You look with angry eyes,
Riding on lightning,
Spitting fire-like clouds from your mouth,

Spewing smoke from your nostrils,


Fire clouds are enshrouded behind you.
You instantly gather clouds in the sky,
With thunder roaring across the world in all the ten directions.
On the road to death it is full of meteors
And big hailstones,
The foundation of the earth is swollen by water and fire,
Evil birds and crows are flying in the sky,
Yellow birds with yellow beaks came down from the air.
The goddess sman-mo tucks herself up into a ball,
Many monsters appear;
The praising god’s horse dashes here and there.
If you like,
The seawater can connect itself to the blue sky;
If you hate,
Even the sun and the moon will fall to the dust;
If you laugh,
The mountains of the world will even crumble to dust.9

This text clearly shows that rma-chen was originally a hail goddess, who rides lightning and spews forth
clouds of fire from her mouth and nostrils. However, the myth also describes her as a beautiful woman,
richly decorated with jewelry, a contrast that points to the ambiguity of her nature. Together she and
anyesrmachen have nine sons, who are often depicted riding tigers, and nine daughters, who ride cuck-
oos. Among the nine creator-gods, the mountain god anyesrmachen customarily ranks fourth, though
some traditions place him fifth. He is the brother of yar-lha-sham-po and gnyan-chen-thang-lha, among

others, and the eighth son of vod-de-gung-rgyal. Vod-de-gung-rgyal, also called sridpavi-lha-rgan, is the
founding father of the Tibetan mountain gods. He is an ancient Tibetan god who inhabited a palace
decorated with rare stones on a steep and snowy mountain. According to a myth popular in the Amdo
region, vod-de-gung-rgyal was an old man who lived near Lhasa. He had eight nomadic sons who lived
by hunting. One day while out hunting, the old man met large groups of refugees fleeing from monsters
that had appeared in Duo Kang. They asked the old man to vanquish them, and he dispatched each of his
eight sons to one of the locations haunted by the monsters. The fourth son went to Amdo. After defeat-
ing the monsters, a nine-story crystal palace was built for them. When the sons met up with their father,
the crystal palace became the huge and snowy Anyesrmachen Mountain.

BUDDHIST INCARNATIONS OF JUPITER

Jambhala

Jambhala (also known as Dzambhala, Dzambala, Zambala or Jambala) is the God of Wealth and appro-
priately a member of the Jewel Family (see Ratnasambhava). He is sometimes equated with the Hindu
deity Kubera. Jambhala is also believed to be an emanation of Avalokitesvara or Chenrezig, the Bodhi-
sattva of Compassion. There are five different wealth Jambhalas; each has his own practice and mantra
to help eliminate poverty and create financial stability.

Gyalten Sogdzin Rinpoche said that Jambhala is the protector of all Lineages and of all sentient beings
from all sickness and difficulties. Jambhala is a Bodhisattva of material and spiritual wealth as well as
many other things, especially of granting financial stability.

“Dzam” means “Deity or gathering”. “Bhah” means “gold or wealth”. “La” means “to honor”. “Dzambha-
la” means “Precious Golden Deity, who gathers or brings the wealth of spirituality or Dharma and mate-
rial security or accomplishment to our lives”.

In Tantrism, Jambhala practice is an expedient and worldly cultivation-method. Tantric cultivation is


divided into “Generation Stage” and “Completion Stage”; Generation Stage is the foundation while Com-
pletion Stage consists of practices pertaining to the holy truth and the transcendental methods. Jambha-
la practice is a fundamental cultivation-method.

The basis of five Jambhalas practices is Bodhicitta. Practitioners should generate the altruistic inten-
tion of compassion (Bodhicitta), and practice generosity. The practice can remove poverty within the six
realms and increase one's merits, wisdom and lifespan. All their material and spiritual needs will be met.

40 ONÇA
The puja of five Jambhalas summons immense positive wealth energies upon the participants. The Bud-
dhists believe that wealth results from one's past actions, but this puja itself also plays a significant role
in changing the course of one's financial situation. Gaden Shartse said: “With a sincere motivation to accu-
mulate merit, purify our negative karma, as well as make prayers for all sentient beings to be freed from all pov-
erty and all sufferings, without doubt - one will certainly receive the vast blessings and protection of the wealth
deities.” Some people claim that cultivating the Jambhala practice will increase one's greed. Although
the spiritual practitioner has the desire to gain great fortune, his body, mind and speech are nonetheless
gradually purified in the process of practicing the Tantric method.

Pouring water over statues


The legend said that while Gautama Buddha was teaching the Maha Prajna-Paramita Sutra, the jealous
Devadatta threw rocks at the Buddha. But instead, the rocks hit White and Yellow Jambhalas on their
heads and hit Black Jambhala on the stomach.[1] Buddha then came over to Jambhala and blessed him;
from his hand came a white, nectar-like substance of wisdom and compassion and love, and touched
Jambhala's head. Jambhala felt very blissful, happy, calm, and cleaned his impurities and obstructions,
and his wounds. Jambhala immediately bowed down to Buddha and thanked him.

Sakyamuni Buddha said to him, “As I have healed you and I poured this holy nectar onto you, in the future
any one of my students or student’s students who invokes your power and pours water onto your head - bestow
on them wealth, give them the two types of wealth, material wealth and spiritual wealth, more importantly
spiritual wealth.” After that, Jambhala folded his hands and said, “I will do as you have said and I promise
that I will do that.”

That story has become the basis for the practitioners of Jambhala Puja to pour water over their statues
or to place their statues under the falling water of six-step waterfalls.

Vaisravana

Vaiśravaṇa (Sanskrit) or Vessavaṇa (Pali; Tibetan), Lhasa dialect: [Namtösé], is one of the Four Heavenly
Kings, and is considered an important figure in Japanese Buddhism.

The name Vaiśravaṇa is a vṛddhi derivative (used, e.g., for patronymics) of the Sanskrit proper name
Viśravaṇa from the root vi-śru "hear distinctly", (passive) "become famous". The name Vaiśravaṇa is
derived from the Sanskrit viśravaṇa which means "son of Vishrava", a usual epithet of the Hindu god
Kubera. Vaiśravaṇa is also known as Kubera and Jambhala in Sanskrit and Kuvera in Pāli.

Other names include:


In Chinese Duōwén Tiān; Vietnamese: Đa văn Thiên, a calque of Sanskrit Vaiśravaṇa; Japanese:
Bishamonten; Vietnamese: Tỳ Sa Môn Thiên. This was a loanword from Vaiśravaṇa into Middle Chinese
with the addition of the word "heaven, god", Tibetan: Wylie: rnam thos sras, THL Namthöse, "Prince
All-Hearing", a calque of Sanskrit Vaiśravaṇa, Mongolian: Баян Намсрай bajn nams, Thai: Thao Kuwen
or Thao Wetsuwan is an honorific plus the modern pronunciation of Pali Vessavaṇa.

Characteristics:
The character of Vaiśravaṇa is founded upon the Hindu deity Kubera, but although the Buddhist and
Hindu deities share some characteristics and epithets, each of them has different functions and associ-
ated myths. Although brought into East Asia as a Buddhist deity, Vaiśravaṇa has become a character in
folk religion and has acquired an identity that is partially independent of the Buddhist tradition (cf. the
similar treatment of Guanyin and Yama).

Vaiśravaṇa is the guardian of the northern direction, and his home is in the northern quadrant of the
topmost tier of the lower half of Sumeru. He is the leader of all the yakṣas who dwell on the Sumeru's
slopes.

He is often portrayed with a yellow face. He carries an umbrella or parasol (chatra) as a symbol of his
sovereignty. He is also sometimes displayed with a mongoose, often shown ejecting jewels from its
mouth. The mongoose is the enemy of the snake, a symbol of greed or hatred; the ejection of jewels
represents generosity.

In Tibet, Vaiśravaṇa is considered a lokapāla or dharmapāla in the retinue of Ratnasambhava.[8] He is


also known as the King of the North. As guardian of the north, he is often depicted on temple murals
outside the main door. He is also thought of as a god of wealth. As such, Vaiśravaṇa is sometimes por-
trayed carrying a citron, the fruit of the jambhara tree, a pun on another name of his, Jambhala. The
fruit helps distinguish him iconically from depictions of Kuvera. He is sometimes represented as corpu-
lent and covered with jewels. When shown seated, his right foot is generally pendant and supported by a
lotus-flower on which is a conch shell. His mount is a snow lion. Tibetan Buddhists consider Jambhala's
sentiment regarding wealth to be providing freedom by way of bestowing prosperity, so that one may
focus on the path or spirituality rather than on the materiality and temporality of that wealth.

JAIN ASTROLOGY

In Jainism, astrology includes five key factors that work together to produce any result.
They are: Kaal that stands for time. Swabhav which means nature or disposition.
Purakrit relating to past karma. Niyati is that what is meant to be. Pursharth is human exertion.

At the outset, you should know that Jainism is purely based on Karma. According to Jain Philosophy,
planets cannot do anything good or bad to us. In fact, unlike Vedic Astrology, Astrology in Jainism be-
lieves that planetary positions are based on past karma. Jain sense of astrology is a science to foresee
the occurrence of events.

In other words, you cannot escape your karma. There is no power to stop you from experiencing its
after-effects. You should bear your own karma and here, astrology is science that calculates planetary
positions on the lines of your karma.

LORD RISHABHDEV: 1st JAIN TIRTHANKAR


Rishabhanatha, (Sanskrit: “Lord Bull”) the first of the 24 Tirthankaras (“Ford-Makers,” i.e., saviours)
of Jainism, a religion of India. His name comes from the series of 14 auspicious dreams that his
mother had, in which a bull (rishabha) appeared, before his birth. He is also known as Adinatha
(“Lord of the Beginning”) and is portrayed by Jain legend as having lived many millions of years ago.

Rishabhanatha is one of the most honoured of the Jain Tirthankaras, having been the first to preach
the Jain faith in this age. Legend also credits him with teaching men the 72 accomplishments (in-
cluding writing and arithmetic) and women the 64 crafts (including pottery, carpentry, and weaving).
Jains believe that he had 100 sons, each of whom was 500 bow shots tall. The most famous of his sons
was Bharata, the first chakravartin, or universal ruler. Rishabhanatha instituted marriage, the giving
of alms, and the observance of funeral rites.

ONÇA 45
He was born in the city of Ayodhya, where the Hindu god Rama was born. Rishabhanatha attained
moksha (release from earthly existence) on Mount Kailas in the Himalayas, the home of the Hindu god
Shiva. In paintings of the Shvetambara (“White-Robed”) sect, he is always gold in colour; in paintings of
the Digambara (“Sky-Clad,” i.e., naked) sect, he is yellow. His symbol is the bull.

His death is believed in Jainism to have occurred on Ashtapada (also known as Mount Kailash) on the
fourteenth day of Magha Krishna (Hindu Calendar). His total age at that time is suugested to be 84 lakh
purva years, with three years and eight and a half months remaining of the third ara. According to medi-
eval era Jain texts, Rishabhanatha performed asceticism for millions of years, then returned to Ashtapa-
da where he fasted to his death (moksha). They further state that Indra came with his fellow gods from
the heavens after that to cremate his body with sandalwood, camphor, butter and other fire offerings.

"The keystone of the entire structure of the spiritual and physical universe is
Rhythmic Balanced Interchange between all opposites." - Walter Russell

"Jupiter is the Jovial Zeus, power, courtly love, romance and wealth are the defining features of this
planetary energy. The King has been crowned by the papacy. In Alchemy we have the three phases:
nigredo, rubedo and albedo. Within the flask we find the three birds fighting. They refer to the three
forces of the psyche (as Carl Jung describes): the Shadow, the Anima/Animus and the Self Archetype.
This three birds (black, white and red), create the essence of the "peacocks tail". This is expressed
psychologically in adolescence. The young person becomes aware of powerful sexual urges and the
concept of a clearly defined and recognized enemy emerges. This is where the adult psyche really
takes form. So the drama of hero (ego), damsel (anima) and the villian (shadow) commences. Here
is where the libido awakens. Correlating to Svadhitsthana in the Indian Chakra system, that is the
second chakra. The symbol here illustrates lunar consciousness ascending above material forms,
sexuality becomes the driving force.

This really creates sort of the drama within the psyche, where the Ego is in pursuit of Anima/Animus
and always been obstructed by the Shadow archetype, that appears to be on the way. The symbol of
Jupter is the material cross of the four elements with the crescent above. The association with Zeus,
who is believed to have sired 92 children with his lovers Io, Callisto, Danaë, Semele, Europa, Gany-

represents the passions of the body, that have consumed the individual yearning for something more
meaningful. This is where Eros-libido as power of sexuality appears.

Svadisthana means "her favorite resort" and is represented by the story of Krishna and Radha. They
wear all yellow garments, which describe erotic mood and they relate to Kama Sutra.

Jupiter's Giant Seal


The Trojans are two groups of asteroids which move around Jupiter's orbit, 60° ahead of it and 60° behind
(opposite). This partnership perpetually moves round the Sun as though held in place by the spokes of a
wheel. The position of the Trojan clusters are known as the Laplace Points, with Sun, Jupiter, and Trojans
forming gravitationally balanced equilateral triangles.

If we join the spokes as shown above, then the three hexagrams can be seen to produce Earth's mean
orbit from Jupiter's (99.8%) - a very easy trick to remember. Earth and Jupiter's orbits are thus lurking
in every crystal. Another name for the six-pointed star made of two triangles is a Star of David or Seal of
Solomon.

Exactly the same Earth-Jupiter proportion may be created by spherically nesting three cubes, or three

Esoteric Ruler of Aquarius = Planet of the Second Ray


Jupiter’s primary purpose is one of fusion. It is instrumental in blending the lesser dualities of head and
heart, mind and love, in order to produce Wisdom. It is primary focus for the energies of the Ray of Love/

48 ONÇA
Wisdom, and acts as a vehicle through which the Ray of Consciousness may externalize the Divine Plan
in our solar system. It therefore works to create the ultimate synthesis in order to exteriorize universal
harmony and abundance. This message is carried forth even in terms of Jupiter’s personality centered
sign rulerships, as Jupiter is the Lord of Wisdom in Sagittarius, while in Pisces he is the Lord of Love.

As the esoteric ruler of Aquarius, many of Jupiter’s limitless blessings are being externalized through
humanity. This will work out in the material world of forms through the human networking, group rela-
tions, and new sociological patterns of Uranus and the Seventh Ray. Such externalizations will allow for
the more transcendental aspects of Love to permeate the collective humanity, and will evoke the Law of
Right Human Relations into the fabric of each of our lives.

Jupiter, along with Mercury, governs the four signs of the Mutable Cross, from the personality level
- Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. The function of these two planets on inner levels, however is
to fuse and blend the enormously vast dualities inherent in mankind. The combination of these two
planets brings the nature of the Second Ray and the Fourth together, evoking the latent energy of Love/
Wisdom that reveals itself through the unfolding process of Harmony through Conflict. This mutual and
combined influence leads humanity out of attachment to material desire and into the awareness of Di-
vine Love. The resolution of duality through the systemic synthesis inherent in the evolutionary process
of life brings the restless mind of the personality into a state of stability. This allows the mind to inte-
grate the various aspects o the personality so that eventual Soul infusion is made possible. It is Jupiter’s
specific function within this alchemy to awaken one to the presence of Love as the essence which abides
within any given form. Jupiter is thus the tool for the expansion of love/consciousness.

STORY & SOUND
"Light waves are very different from sound waves and it is possible that the waves formed by astrological aspects
have more in common with light waves than sound waves."- The First 32 Harmonics

If we mix two colors, we simply obtain another color and all colors are equally "valid". Whereas, mixing
sound waves results in harmonies which range from very consonant to very dissonant. Astrological har-
monics appear to be more similar to the different colors of the light spectrum, with each color having a
different quality rather than like sound waves where the effect of the mixture (harmony) and sequence
(melody) of sounds is of primary importance.

Some Vedic astrologers refer to Vedic astrology as a "science of light". Perhaps, this is closer to the es-
sence of astrology than a "science of sound". Joseph Crane states that; "Because divisions and multiples
of 5 or 7 do not fit into these harmonic models, they cannot themselves form the basis for either musical
harmonies or astrological aspects, if the correspondence between aspects and harmonic intervals is to
be taken seriously."

If the concept of waves as a basis for understanding astrological aspects proves to be useful, we should
keep in mind that there is no need to reduce our models and conceptualizations for how these astrolog-
ical functions to the characteristics of light waves and sound waves and yet we may also get some hints
as to how the waves may function by studying the properties of light waves and sound waves.

As you yourself are water, no matter where you are, your prayers will be carried to the rest of the world."

Dr. Masaru Emoto is famous for his experiments showing that our thoughts and intent have a direct effect
on water particles. He studied the scientific evidence of how the molecular structure in water transforms

Rin (bell) (鈴)


A "rin (鈴)" a Buddhist instrument. It is also written as '錀'.

Usage: The rim is beaten with a stick to produce sound. A 'rin' is placed on a mattress called 'rin futon',
which is put on a table called 'rindai'. During a religious service, it is rung to signal a start, pause, and end
of a chant, such as Buddhist scripture. It is also rung to signal to release praying hands. The stick, which
is used to beat a rin, is called 'rinbo', 'bachi' or 'bai'.

Shape: It has a bowl-like figure. The one with metal legs attached is called 'kodai rin'. Its size is about from
6cm to 90cm in diameter. The one with metal legs attached is called "kodai rin". The rin for temples are

called 'kinsu', 'kin', or 'kei'. They have a thick rim and dark color, and many of them have a lacquer finish.

Inkin: An 'inkin' is a small 'rin' with a cushion and a handle for being portable.
Rindai: A 'rindai' is a Buddhist instrument that serves as a table for a 'rin'.
Shape: Generally it is round or hexagonal.

In the Shin sect Otani school, a special quadrilateral 'rindai' is officially used. They are classified into 'gohi-
ra-gata', 'yatsuinome-gata', and 'tsubokuri-gata' types based on the fretwork. In accordance with the proper
manner, the special rindai is placed directly on tatami mats. Instead of 'rin futon', 'kumowa' is used with
Otani school's special rindai. A 'kinranwa' may be used informally in place of the 'kumowa'. In accordance
with the proper manner, 'bachi (rin stick)' is placed in the 'rin' at times other than during religious services
and on the right side of 'kumowa' over the rindai during religious services.

Rei: A rei is an esoteric Buddhist instrument on hand, which is like a small bell. Rei such as kongorei, a

In Shintoism, a shrine maiden has a mikosuzu (medium bell) on her hand and rings it when she danc-
es kagura (sacred music and dancing performed at shrines). Moreover, in the oratory of a shrine, a bell
sounds in order to attract the attention of a deity. According to "Kenzoki (Records of Kenzo era)" from "Ni-
hon shoki/ Chronicles of Japan", an old woman called Okime came to Emperor Kenzo in February in the
first year of his accession. Since she pointed the location of his deceased father's bone, the Emperor let her
live near the royal palace in appreciation. He told her 'put a bell at the end of a rope and ring it to tell the
receptionist of your arrival when you come to me.' This is thought to be one of the oldest examples of the
practical bell usage in Japan.

GEOMANCY

The Geomantic Shield & 12 Houses

Astrological geomancy is an ancient method of divination. The word geomancy means earth divination
and is believed to have come from the use of sand to generate the geomantic figures, the basis of pre-
diction in geomancy. This also accounts for its Arabic name, ilm al-raml, literally the science or wisdom
of the sand.

Geomancy was practiced by people from all social classes. It was one of the most popular forms of divi-
nation throughout Africa and Europe, particularly during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

In Renaissance magic, geomancy was classified as one of the seven "forbidden arts", along with necroman-
cy, hydromancy, aeromancy, pyromancy, chiromancy (palmistry), and spatulamancy (­ scapulimancy).

In the modern era the ancient art of divinatory geomancy has been confused with Chinese feng shui
which is not a method of divination, but a science of spatial arrangement, architecture and landscaping.
Divinatory geomancy has also had its name appropriated by the modern New Age study of ley lines and
earth "energies" which are also not techniques of divination.

Contemporary practitioners of the traditional Western art of geomancy have taken to referring to it as
divinatory or astrological geomancy to differentiate it from these more modern uses of the term. As-
trological geomancy is a particularly appropriate term as much of the divinatory methodology used in
geomancy comes from traditional astrology.

The origins of geomancy are shrouded in mystery, but the first manuscripts describing the practice ap-
pear in the 9th century AD in the advanced Islamic civilization of the Middle East. From there it spread

to Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries as part of the reception of many arts and sciences, including
the occult arts of astrology, alchemy and magic by the rapidly civilizing West. Known in Arabic as ilm
al-raml, literally the science or wisdom of the sand, geomancy became quite popular as a divinatory
technique because of its ease of learning and use. Here is an interesting article in pdf form by the Dutch
academic Wim van Binsbergen on the Astrological Origin of Islamic Geomancy. Because of its close
connection to astrology, geomancy has been called "the Daughter of Astrology" and known as terrestial
astrology.

Throughout the evolution and migration of geomancy, various tales and plays incorporated aspects of
the art into their stories. In one story in One Thousand and One Nights, both the African Magician and
his brother use geomancy to find Aladdin in order to do him harm. Geomancy's first mention in print
came by William Langland's Piers Plowman where it is unfavorably compared to the level of exper-
tise a person needs for astronomy ("gemensye [geomesye] is gynful of speche"). In 1386 Chaucer used
the "Parson's Tale" to poke fun at geomancy in Canterbury Tales: "What say we of them that believe in
divynailes as …geomancie…". Shakespeare and Ben Jonson were also known to use geomancy for comic
relief. Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy (early 14th century) makes a passing reference to geomancy. In
the first two stanzas of Canto XIX in the Purgatorio.

One of the 16 geomantic figures is Laetitia, Joy, Jupiter. Each of the figures has a name and its own dis-
tinct personality. The combinations of the figures and their interactions are like a mirror reflecting the
events or question that the geomancer has been asked about.

JUPITER RITUAL

Put on your magic robe, namely be freshly washed, wearing white, yellow or
royal blue. You can also wear priestly garb.

Jupiter likes an affect that is humble and priestly, or gregarious, generous, and over the top — pick your
poison accordingly.

Light your candles and incense. Anoint yourself with any Jupiter oil. Take a moment to visualize the planet
Jupiter and channel his energy into your body and the altar itself. Meditate on the symbols or draw them
fresh. Once you feel attuned, sing the Orphic Hymn or the one from Picatrix, or any invocation / prayer
of your own design. Afterwards, one begins with the ritual part. Alternatively one could present offerings,
giving thanks to Jupiter for his blessings. Closing the ritual offering by prostrating oneself and giving happy

is normally no need to banish or do anything more formal, since you want these forces actively at work
in your home and in your realm. You could also segue into meditation or performing other related mag-
ics, such as launching a sigil shoal for success, protection, or gain.

Caution and further research are advised before employing any part of the aforementioned rituals. Be
responsible and respectful how you perform your rites and what objects are included in your ceremony

THE ORPHIC HYMN TO JUPITER

Chapter XV

Orpheus was a legendary poet, philosopher and musician of Thrace to whom the Orphic Mysteries
were attributed. Many works and poems were attributed to Orpheus and of these the most famous are
the 87 Hymns of Orpheus. In 1787, the Orphic Hymns were translated into English by Thomas Taylor.
A second edition was published in 1824.

O Jove, much-honour'd, Jove supremely great,


To thee our holy rites we consecrate,
Our pray'rs and expiations, king divine,
For all things to produce with ease thro' mind is thine.
Hence mother Earth and mountains swelling high
Proceed from thee, the deep and all within the sky.
Saturnian king, descending from above,
Magnanimous, commanding, sceptred Jove;
All-parent, principle and end of all,
Whose pow'r almighty shakes this earthly ball;
Ev'n Nature trembles at thy mighty nod,
Loud-sounding, arm'd with light'ning, thund'ring God.
Source of abundance, purifying king,
O various-form'd, from whom all natures spring;
Propitious hear my pray'r, give blameless health,
With peace divine, and necessary wealth.

Brihaspati bestows wisdom as he is the preceptor of the gods. Offering prayers to him can help students
excel academically. It also elevates one’s career. Additionally, chanting Brihaspati mantras can alleviate
a person’s fear and instill positive vibes and optimism in them. By chanting the Brihaspati slokas and
mantras, one can achieve great clarity in life. Regularly chanting these mantras will give the person
peace and prosperity. The devotee can become extremely successful and delays of all sorts will be avoid-
ed. Chanting the Brihaspati mantras regularly will give the devotees the boon of marriage and children.
One will also be blessed with high intellect.

The positive effects of Brihaspati are enhances and its malefic effects are reduced by reciting these man-
tras. Reciting the Brihaspati mantra 19,000 times with give you a peace of mind and ward of all the evil
from your life. It makes you healthy, wealthy and prosperous. Just chanting the mantras will not fetch

Beej Mantra Meanings


Beej is a Sanskrit word which means seed. The Beej mantras are also known as Seed Mantras. Life arises
from the seed. There are more interpretations to this which are outside the scope of the current article.
According to popular belief, chanting the Beej Mantras can give people life energy. It is called beej man-
tra because, when a seed is sown, it grows into a tree. So according to the Vedic thought process, the
entire tree is contained in the seed. The seed always grows into what it is to grow into = a tree. It does not
become an animal, or a bird (unlike humans, we have great expectations of becoming some one or some
thing). We must chant beeja mantras with absolute faith = there is no scope for belief when one begins

to chant mantras such as these. You need not fear, and you will stop as soon as you have been ordained to
by the planets. Your own fears and belief systems will slowly reveal themselves to you, and now you need
your logical mind to interpret, and learn from these shifts in experiences. This is life indeed, as it is human
who aspires to be something more, and the beeja reminds that if one has faith, their purpose (goal, target,
ideal personality, character or way of living that they want to blossom into) will be revealed.

In Vedic tradition, Beej Mantras were recited to create balance between human body and mind. When all
the systems in one’s body are balanced, one can experience perfect harmony and health. But, when there
is an imbalance in the body, it leads to mental, emotional and physical stress. Sound therapy is effective in
healing the mind and body. Reciting several Beej Mantras together can rejuvenate the mind and also take
the person one step closer to god.

How to chant the Guru Mantras and Shlokas


Brihaspati is Guru of the gods and demigods. In order to get blessings from Brihaspati, one can worship
him with sandalwood paste, kesar and yellow flowers. Chanting the Brihaspati mantras 108 times is also
very beneficial. Also, chanting the Brihaspati mantras 19,000 times will enhance the benefits. Additionally,
you can use a japa mala made of tulsi, sandalwood or rudraksha beads while chanting the mantras. Having
a picture of Brihaspati in front of you while chanting and decorating it with yellow flowers will also add
to its benefits. Yellow is said to Lord Brihaspati’s favourite colour. Hence, wearing yellow garments while
chanting the mantras will be favourable. One can donate yellow clothes to the poor on Thurdays to appease
Brihaspati. On Thursdays, donating chana dal, jaggery, gold, laddus, yellow sapphire, books and cow to
needy is also beneficial. People also donate saffron, turmeric and sugar on Thursdays.

and prosperity. Lighting earthen lamps in front of the Brihaspati idol will also fulfill all your prayers. Also,

CONCLUSION
This catalog compiles years of research, contemplation and apprenticeship in fostering better understand-
ing of the forces within and without. In the making of it excerpts from other sources were used. I am
not endorsing or promoting any of these ideas as much as exploring the symbolism behind the planet’s
­identity. There is much more to be written, but we wanted to give a simple synthesis of the main character-
istics of the planet.

"Do onto others, as you would have them do onto you.". The King as the government is to protect the rights
of the individuals and the country. Not to impose sanctions upon them. We are sacrificing our identities to
merge as one system, which is parasitic, keeping itself and feeding on others. Perhaps we need the admin-
istrative structures, executive branch, legislative branch and juridical branch to be equally responsible in
decision making as secured in our constitutions respectively.

The following Saturn-Jupiter clock, will tick again in the air sign of Aquarius. A new great cycle awaits to
unfold. One small cycle inside of a bigger cycle. From whatever dimension we look at this cycles from and
how we understand the energies of the planets, is the path for attaining self-mastery. This guide is not de-
fining Jupiter as for what it is or isn't, but helps one explore their own perspective and beliefs about.

After the transition of our Sun through the Photon Belt (Manasic Ring) and the astronomical precession of
Sun into Aquarius in 2117, humanity will enter the Age of Enlightenment in year 2325. This transition of
knowledge and truth, great responsibility or severe regulation, will prepare our souls for the higher fre-
quencies. Aquarian energetic principles, will encourage innovative ways of thinking, breaking boundaries
and cementing new revolutionary visions. How can we build without depletion of our earthy resources?
How can we socialize, without over population? How can we exercise choice, without leaving others with-
out choice? How can be our authentic self, while serving the society well?

May Jupiter bless you, Sage, during this powerful times and the rituals done with this Bell-Cauldron and
may it grant you with positive outcomes in the future endeavors of you and all of mankind.
