Witches Write In Neck Shells
An ancient piece of folklore is, ‘Witches ride in egg
shells.’ That might be linked to ancient saurian ancestors and the association
of eggs with the Resurrection and Ascension to heaven of Jesus ‘Christ’, the
Messiah, whose teaching as a Jewish rabbi, during the period of the Empire of
Rome’s occupation of Palestine, in the reign of Tiberius Augustus (17-37 CE),
after he was nailed to a cross of wood atop the hill of Calvary outside the
city of Jerusalem, where he died.
The counterpart of
man in the Old Testament of the Bible, which is the history and law of
the Jews, that is, their Torah and Talmud, is the angel, Satan, turned into a
serpent by God for persuading the first woman, Eve, to ‘eat of the fruit of the
knowledge of good and evil’, which it was death to taste, disobeying the
creator God’s injunction to ‘eat only of the fruit of the tree of life’, which
was immortality.
There’s more than a
suggestion that reptilian eggs and mammalian ova are somehow reconciled in the celebration of Jesus’ rising from
the dead, coinciding with the beginnings of spring, in the Easter festival of
Christianity, which is the religion founded by Jesus’ disciples after his
Ascension to heaven, according to the four corroborative accounts of his life’s
story, composed by the disciples, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, comprising
what Christians know as the New Testament
of the Bible, which they believe
supersedes the Old Testament, with
Jesus’ teaching distilling the entirety of Talmudic law as, ‘Love your
neighbour as you love yourself.’ (Mk:
12. 31)
God’s expelling of
Eve, and the first man created by God, Adam, from their original home in the
paradise of Eden, is presented as a punishment for bringing upon themselves the
curse of death, although God promises Eve that her ‘seed’ will prevail, ‘You
shall crush the head of the serpent with your foot, but he will bruise your
heel.’ (Gen: 3. 15) According to
Jewish midrash, that is, exegesis, Adam was a hermaphrodite, called
‘futanarian’, or futa, that is, God’s
‘foot’, while Eve, born from the side/rib of Adam, is euphemistically
understandable as self-birth following self-fertilization of an ovum.
That there is then a
distinction between the seed of Eve, as mammalian ova, and the serpent’s seed of Satan, which is the eggs of
reptilians, is a basis for perceiving what is construable as an ancient
conflict between egg-laying and egg-hatching saurians, and womb-birthing
mammalians, reconciled in the Christian practice of decorating and consuming
eggs at Easter in celebration of Jesus’ victory over death, which is perceived
as the breaking of the curse and the re-conferring of immortality upon human
nature.
That people die,
which belies the belief in Jesus’ overcoming death, requires a further understanding
of what the seed of Eve represent, that is, the brainpower needed to develop
the medical technology necessary to overcome death, and so make immortality a
permanent feature of human existence. Christianity seems rather to hold to the
belief that death is a consequence of being the seed of the serpent, that is,
Jesus was human, whereas those who die are extinct like the dinosaurs, whether
they accept the teaching of Jesus or no, emphasized by the consuming of their
eggs at Easter as chocolate taunts.
Although most people
think of the egg, at Easter, as symbolizing the birth of the infant Jesus, at
Christmas, come to fulfilment at Easter, the ‘egg and spoon race’, familiar to
children at school fêtes, for example, likely signifies
the victory of the mammalian over the saurian, as spoons and cups are how eggs
are eaten at human family breakfasts. That God’s first creation of winged
saurians is what Judeo-Christianity dignifies with the title ‘angels’ also
seems plausible, although as ornithology points out birds are the descendants
of reptiles, which leaves room for the argument that angels were bird-like,
rather than of the leathery aspect of the pterodactyl, or the mythic mien of
the dragon. That witches ride in eggshells probably refers to their perceivedly
non-human identity. Being born with a third teat, for example, an attribute for
the succour of familiars, corresponding to homunculi, or other demon deemed of
use to the practitioner of witchcraft; not excluding animals: or indeed aliens.
That Satan intended
for Eve and Adam to be the progenitors of a non-human race is evident from the
Judaic belief in Lilith. This ‘first woman created by God’ refused to lie
beneath Adam in subjugation, and went on to breed a race of demons with the
angel, Samäel,
that is, Lilith was the forerunner of witches who rode in eggshells, as their
‘mother’, while Satan’s interference in the development of Eve and Adam’s
future amounts to plagiarism, that is, witches write in neck shells, as the
skulls of the non-human contain nothing human, and so are effectively empty
shells, which accords with the Jews’ belief in Sheol, corresponding to the hell
of Christianity, and where people, as shells containing what isn’t human any
longer, haven’t any hope of Resurrection and Ascension to heaven, but might
make an interesting tale.
That the tale is
Satan’s evolving tail of a saurian ancestral lineage is what the decorating and
eating of boiled eggs at Easter symbolizes, as humans aren’t shells, according
to Christian belief, as they have immortal spirit bodies. These transcend
death, and continue in an afterlife approximating to what Judeo-Christianity,
and other religions, define as the heavenly realm, which the serpent’s seed of
Satan are barred from entering, as they’re what science fiction writers
describe as ‘meat bots’; robotic flesh, devoid of volitional spirit, impelled
by directive: as slaves.
In previous centuries
the Popes of Catholicism, deriving their authority from the disciple, Peter,
who became the first amongst Christians in Rome, sold indulgences to rich
businessmen, or aristocrats and members of the clergy, etc., who sought
absolution, that is, forgiveness of sins, to afford them egress to the heavenly
Empyrean after death. However, absolution doesn’t guarantee a spirit body to a
neck shell. For modern Christianity the only chance is to ‘convert’ and receive
an immortal spirit body. In the concomitant material transformation, aligned
with Jesus’ teaching, the Holy Spirit, as transforming principle, was to be
sent by God to Earth, according to the Messiah, subsequent to Jesus’ Ascension.
Another witches’
tradition is, ‘the hollow’, where witches practice their magic, and disputes
are reconciled. Corresponding to familiars, the ‘hood of witchcraft constitutes
the womanhood, and manhood, of the ‘craft exponent, writing with the neck
shells of her serpent’s seed. The futa aspect of women’s seed is represented by
the broomstick, between the legs of the wiccan, as the penis of the
hermaphrodite, with the bush of the brush behind to indicate the mons veneris. Often described as ‘toothless’
and ‘hags’, for example, the three witches in 17th century English
dramatist William Shakespeare’s Macbeth
(1606), teeth have significance as places hollowed out by decay, saved by
modern dentisty, but legendarily possessed by vampires sucking out human blood,
as a means of making themselves immortal.
These leeches are the
rivals of the witches for the neck shells of the serpent’s seed, whereas women
have no rivals for women’s seed, which has given rise to the distinction
between white witches, who’re women, either putatively or factually, and black
witches, whose art is blackened as its vampired, where the hollowing of teeth
is the blood drinkers’ connection to the heart and vitals, though a dam may Satanically
benefit from communion with the reputedly immortal parasite to the peril of her
future, as God’s punishment upon the evil is eternal unendurable pain for the immortal
spirit body; should its flesh ever die.
