THE GRAND controller

A few days ago I promised I'd reveal my translation of the Sator Square, a magic word square in which each word appears four times (up, down, backwards and forwards).

The Sator Square: 

S  A  T  O  R
A  R  E  P  O
T  E  N  E  T
O  P  E  R  A
R  O  T  A  S


Here is my translation of the Square:

1.  "Sator" means "Goddess"*
2.  "Arepo" is the name of this particular Goddess
3.  "Tenet" translates into "is master/holder/keeper of"
4.  "Opera" means "the work/care involved in maintaining" something
5.  "Rotas" translates into "the revolving cycles of life"

Put it all together and you get this: 

"The Goddess Arepo is master of the work involved in maintaining the revolving cycles of life."

Or, put another way,

"The Goddess Arepo is the Grand Controller of the revolving cycles of life."

*In my July 13 post, I noted that the actual translation for the Latin word sator is "Sower, planter; founder, progenitor (usually divine); originator."  A "divine originator" could very well mean a female deity, or goddess.

Replacing God the Father with God the Mother is no more an option than replacing Adam with Eve. God the Father is the ONE SOURCE, the GODHEAD from which all is manifested as a thought form . (Form is the shape, visual appearance, constitution or configuration of an object. In a wider sense, the FORM is the way something is or happens.) FROM the mind of God the Father. Every form in the visible world of substance IS the Goddess, Mother Nature. (Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".) One becomes two, two becomes three and three becomes all things !

Guess you didn't see the truisms at the top of the blog, Trance: "Violent sky/war gods are dangerous, to men as well as women" while "Female deities are role models for unconditional love."

Speaking of heads, why not use yours?
