Saturnalian Christmas

R omans celebrated Saturnalia, a feast named for Sat-
urn which was inherited from an earlier Babylonian
priesthood, on December 21, the winter solstice in the
northern hemisphere. They believed the shortest day of
the year was the birthday of the sun. The Christmas sea-
son is the time when the sun enters Capricorn, one of
the houses of Saturn, who is interchangeable with his
feminine counterpart, Virgo/Ceres, who holds a stalk of
grain or corn. Placing grain in the open hearth are an-
cient Scandinavian and Anglo Saxon yuletide rituals.
Chronos, our Father Time, was depicted in Greco-Ro-
man mosaics turning a zodiac wheel and later pictured
as an old man with a hood over the back of his head,
holding a sickle in his hand. Words such as chronology,
chronic, and chronicle derive from Chronos.

Christmas Myths

N umerous parallels have been made be-
tween Santa Claus and Odin, a major god
amongst the Germanic peoples prior to their
Christianizing. Odin was depicted as a tall, old
man with a white beard and wearing a cloak.
He rode the skies and the seas on his fast white
horse Sleipnir with his 8 (the number of transfor-
mation) legs, while carrying his constant spear
Gungnir (clear and focused intent) in his hand.
He had one eye, for he had offered the other eye
in exchange for gathering wisdom at the well
of the head Mimir (Norse representation of Su-
preme Consciousness) and with that he became
a shape shifter, able of seeing in the outward
world with his normal eye and understanding the
inward worlds with his black, removed, eye. He
was beloved among his friends and followers
Odin who felt happy and energized in his presence

T he parallels between the origins of Santa
Claus (Santaism) and Buddhism are striking.
The altar of a Buddhist temple has a statue of a
corpulent laughing Buddha/Santa with an offering
of fruit or food which mirrors offerings of milk
and cookies to Santa, while Buddhist prayers are
generally offered up with incense to God. Bud-
dhism teaches that we incarnate many times until
we attain God realization, Santa knows who has
been naughty or nice that year which parallels
Buddhism and Hinduism’s cyclic judgment of all
Tower of Babel
beings.

The second most striking parallel between Santa-
ism and Hinduism is their focus on pilgrimages
to a holy mountain where God resides. Almost
every tradition has its name for this mountain
with the same significance; the Persian Alborj,
the Montsalvat of Western Grail legend, the Arab
mountain Qaf and the ancient Greeks had several
sites that were considered places of the ompha-
los (navel) stone, such as the oracle at Delphi,
while also maintaining a belief in a world tree,
the Xmas Tree, and Mount Olympus as the abode
of the gods.
Buddha

Many religious structures symbolize the polar
axis. The stupa of Hinduism, and later Buddhism,
reflects Mount Meru, and Siva is often mysti-
cally connected with Mount Meru, which esoteri-
cally is both the cosmic and terrestrial axis with
its north and south poles. The upright bar of the
cross is sometimes seen as representing a world
axis, while the steeple of a church or minaret of
a mosque indicates a place where the earthly and
heaven meet. In Mesopotamian civilizations, the
ziggurat works as a polar axis. Structures such as
maypoles in pre-Christian Europe, linked to the
Saxons’ Irminsul, and totem poles among Pacific

Hindu fundamental belief is that the Vedas

that: at the end of a creative cycle God, Para-

Mother Goddesses

Aphrodite born from the sea

T here have been many different mother god-
desses who came from the sea, including such
goddesses as the Hindu Lakshmi (“Good Fortune”).
She, like Aphrodite, is goddess of love and beauty
who brings wealth. She is the wife of Vishnu, and
was born from the Sea, fully grown ,and beautiful.

In some forms of Neo-paganism, and in the Hindu
idea of Shakti, all mother goddesses are considered
aspects of the one God. Aphrodite, Roman Venus,
goddess of love, beauty and fertility was worshipped
as Aphrodite Urania, Queen of the Sea, and tran-
scendental love. She bore several children to vari-
ous gods: Her daughters were Peitho/Suada/Suadela
goddess of persuasion, and Harmonia (harmony/
healing). Her sons are Eros god of love (the zo-
