Rev Mary's Commentary: Gold & Silver Gates

I feel that thing in our world are changing and changing FAST!
I have been studying astrology and have found some pretty cool things that I suppose would be categorized as Esoteric Astrology. In a piece a few years ago in Shamanic Astrology Newsletter titled: Celestial Timings By Cayelin K Castell, she brought up the subject of the Gold and Silver Gates. I found that these energies kept coming up over and over in different places. So I thought I would try to get this together and write about it.

So I am - or at least going to try to take you on a journey a shortened abbreviated journey of the one I have been on for over a year now and share what all this means - "The Gold and Silver Gates".

I found that these to Gates or energies kept coming up and I have been trying to grasp the concept of what she was trying to present with the energies and how they work with the astrology.

And as any of you know when I begin a project like this it will take me on a large circle (zodiac wheel) to get to the goodie or the core information that is being presented to you.

So there has been a lot on TV etc about 2012 and what it symbolizes - the ending of a great cycle of time we astrologers look and term this energy "the procession of the equinoxes". I feel that we need no fear connected with this change in the Mayan Calendar.

So I am - or at least going to try to take you on a journey a shortened abbreviated journey of the one I have been on for over a year now and share what all this means - "The Gold and Silver Gates"

FROM CELESTIAL TIMINGS (Jan 2007)

QUOTE: "Northern Extreme currently located at the Galactic Edge. Many ancient cultures saw this place in the sky, along the Milky Way, as the Silver Gate where souls enter this dimensional realm. (The Golden Gate is near Galactic Center - see quote below). The nearly Full Moon is visible just beyond the fixed star Aldebaran, the eye of the Bull and one of the four royal stars also linked with Archangel Michael. Aldebaran is a stargate portal and when the Moon (especially the nearly Full Moon) is here it is sending a key transmission from this area of the sky if we are open to receive it.

Here is more on the Silver and Golden Gate... The Golden Gate is at the point where the ecliptic crosses the Milky Way, just near Galactic Centre (GC); the part of the sky which was of great interest to the Mayan people. At the other end of the Milky Way, the Silver Gate is above Orion, at the center of the Duat; the Egyptian Netherworld which was represented on the ground in the Giza area.

The ancient Greeks, who received much of their knowledge from Egypt, believed that souls reside in the Milky Way between incarnations, and that there are 2 “gates” on the Milky Way. These are the Silver Gate of Gemini, through which souls descend to earth, and the Golden Gate of Sagittarius, through which souls ascend. Other versions say the souls of men (humans) can ascend by either gate, but that the Silver Gate leads to reincarnation and the ancestors, and the Golden Gate leads beyond reincarnation. The Golden Gate is also that through which the Gods descend.

The Silver Gate is just above the “hand” of Orion, who the Egyptians associated with Osiris, and they depicted him holding a star in his hand. In the Orion Mystery, Bauval & Gilbert presumed this to be the star Aldebaran. Now, Gilbert has found that the Egyptian word for star, s’ba, also means “door”, so Osiris is holding a Star-Gate. In some depictions, Osiris is holding an ankh towards the gate, so this must be the key which unlocks the star-gate.

Fixed star Antares, heart of the Scorpion tonight (not visible in the sky until the early morning hours before dawn) activating the Antares stargate near Galactic Center and the Golden Gate of “Sagittarius” where the souls of humanity ascend away from this realm and where the souls of the Gods descend into this realm of experience. Aldebaran is the stargate portal near the Silver Gate and Antares is the Star Gate portal near the Golden Gate.

(This is referring to the constellation named Sagittarius and not the seasonal sign that also carries the same name.)

The Earth is aligned now in such a way to receive the galactic radiations being beamed from Galactic Center and the Galactic Edge quickening our evolution, purifying and restructuring our world, changing the thresholds of vibration and experience, according to new programs of Light and Love available to us now. We get a sense of the importance of taking action that supports our personal evolutionary process because this collective reprogram is happening with or without us. UNQUOTE.

As I continued there was information from Barbra Hand Clow in Catrophobia; John Major Jenkins' essential book, Maya Cosmogenesis 2012; Sirius Mystery; Astrology of 2012 and Beyond by Cal Garrison; studied Jung archetypes and much more.

In August 2012, says Gilbert, Venus (symbolizing Isis & Mary as “Bride of Heaven”), will be “stationary in the hand of Orion”. Orion, as he has explained convincingly in the book, symbolizes Christ, and this is his mystic marriage (and there is a hint that we should be prepared with our “wedding garment”, which, to the Egyptians was a “stellar, Sahu body” that needed to be “crystallized”). This could also be the return of Quetzalcoatl, since he was connected with Venus, and thereby the sign preceding a “second coming”.

At any rate, Gilbert’s interpretation of Biblical prophecy, using the fig tree parable, and the return of the Jews to Israel in 1948, indicates that all prophecies would be accomplished by 2018. This also happens to be, according to John Major Jenkins, the last year that the winte solstice sun conjuncts Galactic Centre, in the other star-gate. Gilbert calls the Silver Gate the Gate of Hades, so there may be 12 years of hell coming up, before the opening of….Heaven’s Gate!
