“Aphrodite, goddess of love, whom the hearts of all creatures worship, for she grants us the gift of harmony, and by her beauty, she unites the hearts of all men.”
- Pindar, Pythian Odes, 3.53–55
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love
Aphrodite, the daughter of the Sky (Ouranos), resulting from a piece of it being cut by the sickle of Time (Chronus), plummeting down to the sea and maturing there.
The ancient Greeks said Love (Aphrodite/Venus) is the daughter of the sky with a tiny birthing stage in the sea. Literally like how the Earth might have been seeded with life that developed in the oceans (as nowadays science hypothesizes in the panspermia hypothesis) and thriving Life is really what Love is mainly about.
Aphrodite is said to have been born from the sea foam, emerging from the waves near Cyprus or Paphos, where she was particularly venerated.
The dove was considered Aphrodite’s sacred bird, representing the themes of love and devotion. This association is also linked to the dove’s natural characteristics of loyalty, care, and the lifelong pairing of this species. Doves were often depicted pulling her chariot or resting near her.
Prayer to the Goddess Aphrodite:
“Aphrodite, divine memory of the ancestors,
Queen of creation that extends onward,
River of eternal life,
Grant us Wisdom and Understanding,
To see our past, to see ourselves, to see our future.”

“A practitioner of the Chod, practicing in a charnel ground, sounding his dameru drum and thigh-bone trumpet … The dancing, grinning skeleton on the far right express a dynamic vision of death and change, viewed as an ecstatic dance of transformation, unchanging inner essence transcending the constant mutations of externals.
Meditation on the impermanence of all phenomena should lead to a joyful freedom from attachments, and not to a morbid pessimism” - P. 64 of “The Crystal and The Way of Light (Sutra, Tantra & Dzogchen)” by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu.
The practice of Chod is about cutting through the ego, offering up our conditioning, habits and limitations to be destroyed, and is similar to the worship of Smashan Tara by the Aghoris and other sects.
Many Shamanic traditions include a dismemberment of the practitioner before he or she can travel further into the non-ordinary realms.
Dionysus was dismembered by the Titans as a child, and his maenads dismembered Orpheus after his return from the underworld. Osiris‘ body was also dismembered by Set, before being reconstructed by Isis.
These types of practices relate to the “Solve” part of the Alchemical maxim “Solve et Coagula” i.e. dissolving your existing conditioning to free up energy and then re-combining into new and more useful structures.
“Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won’t let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they’re not punishing you, he said. They’re freeing your soul.
So, if you’re frightened of dying and… and you’re holding on, you’ll see devils tearing your life away. But if you’ve made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.” - Jacob’s Ladder (1990).
“What do you think? Is the ouija board a harmless toy, or a pipeline to untapped psychic power? It’s marketed as a game and its manufacturer claims no connection with the paranormal. But others believe that ouija boards have been known to make startling predictions. There are even some people who claim the ouija board has changed their lives forever…”
We start out in Satanic Panic territory, with an anonymous "ouija board victim" telling us about a ghost assaulting her after using it.
“The ouija board is not a toy and it’s not a game and I’d like very much to see it taken out of toy stores.”
Anna Foster says it's a "dimensional doorway" and using a ouija board opens you up to being a "receiver station" for spirits - good or ill. Remember her, by the way.
A psychiatrist arrives to tell us about the ideomotor effect, without using the term itself, describing subconscious musculature movements...
Peter Moscow, who we last saw in season one, is dubious, saying many cases of the ouija board are just subconscious movement.
Psychic Shawn Randall, surprisingly, agrees, saying you see what you want to see - if you want to see something upsetting, predictions of doomsday, that's what you'll get from your own subconscious.
Then we take a turn.
On July 9th, 1990, six army intelligence officers deserted their post in Augsburg, Germany. The incident made global news, with the fugitives being treated as potential terrorists, potential Soviet defectors, or potentially abducted by the Soviet Union. These weren't grunts - these were intelligence officers, including a NCO. Five days later, they resurfaced in Florida, in the UFO hotspot of Gulf Breeze, where they were dubbed the Gulf Breeze Six.
They then revealed their reason for going AWOL:
To assassinate the Antichrist.
Six soldiers, reported by an unofficial military newspaper to be on a mission to kill the Antichrist, were charged Thursday with deserti
But here, two of them go on the record to give another explanation: they had been given doomsday prophecies by a ouija board! Specifically, prophecies of the Gulf War & the L.A. riots, among others...
It's emphasized that it only took SEVEN SESSIONS with the ouija board before they went AWOL. Which, frankly, is placid by our modern standards of radicalization. ChatGPT would've had these guys hunting the antichrist after two chats.
I mean, this is 2026! We don't have soldiers going AWOL to fight the Antichrist, we have soldiers going AWOL because their bosses want them to fight the Antichrist
In Gulf Breeze, they told their visions to...psychic Anna Foster. They were arrested at her house. They expected to be thrown in Fort Knox and to never see the light of day again, but surprisingly, all six were simply discharged from the military instead of being executed. Honorable discharges, no less.
Despite this story diluting their story a bit, leaving out the part where they wanted to kill the Antichrist, the Christian eschatology and UFO elements shine through anyway. After they note the ouija board's predictions for 1993, they say six years of chaos will follow - same as the "Tribulation" part of the Rapture mythos. They'll go into hiding until 2000.
What are their predictions for 1993?
An 8.3 earthquake in California - didn't happen.
A earthquake in Seattle so big it makes Mount Rainier erupt - nope.
A major gas leak in New York City - what? No.
The collapse of the royal families of Europe - should've happened, but no
The formation of the "United States of Europe" - the European Union did form in November 1993, but it was hardly a unforeseen event - there was a lot of buildup to it! The precursor to the EU had existed for decades! And of course the EU is not a single unified country, like they were claiming.
There's a video about this from the channel Wartime Stories that unsurprisingly reveals the group as not randos turned weird by seven ouija sessions, but people already into communing with aliens and hypnosis. Also, one was dating Anna Foster. They weren't just going to see her, they had planned to use her house as a hideout. According to this, the prophecy-come-true that deepened their efforts was not the Gulf War, but a major earthquake in Iran. The spirits in the ouija board sessions were mainly Biblical figures, including the literal Virgin Mary, but the most dominant entity was named "Sapphire", who was from Georgia (how they were able to talk to so many spirits during just seven/eight sessions, I don't know).
Anyway, how many ouija board sessions would it take for you to destroy your career to hunt the Antichrist in Florida? Let me know in the comments!

Before cutting the branch of a tree or removing a flower, tell the spirit of the tree or plant what you are going to do, so that they can withdraw their energy from that place and not feel the cut so strong.
When you go to nature and want to take a stone that was in the river, ask the river keeper if he allows you to take one of his sacred stones.
If you have to climb a mountain or make a pilgrimage through the jungle, ask permission from the spirits and guardians of the place.
It is very important that you communicate even if you do not feel, do not listen or do not see.
Enter with respect to each place, since Nature listens to you, sees you and feels you. Every movement you make in the microcosm generates a great impact on the macrocosm.
When you approach an animal, give thanks for the medicine it has for you.
Honor life in its many forms and be aware that each being is fulfilling its purpose.
Nothing was created to fill spaces, everything and everyone is here remembering our mission, remembering who we are and awakening from the sacred dream to return home.
Show Your love to nature, everything that surrounds you and you will see that, she too will respond in the same way!!

LOVE is the frequency that unlocks all doors.
Love is more than an emotion, it is the fabric of the universe, the energy that binds atoms, souls, and galaxies. Everything arises from its eternal vibration. Where the mind sees separation, love sees unity: consciousness remembering itself. Only love sustains the fabric of all that is.
“When you succeed in awakening the Kundalini, so that it starts to move out of its mere potentiality, you necessarily start a world which is totally different from our world. It is the world of eternity.”
― C.G. Jung

Tone 4: Self-Existing - Measure & Discipline
Red Serpent is your Conscious Self - who you are and who you are becoming.
"I am the flint and tinder of the sacred fire," reads the meditation for Red Serpent. In the Great Mystery, flint and tinder represent the instinctive combustion that initiates movement in the physical body toward union with Spirit. When flint and tinder are brought together, the spark of divinity awakens and ignites the fire of your essence. Red Serpent invites the purifying spark of the sacred fire, the kundalini, to align and integrate your body, mind and spirit. Red Serpent can help you uncover apparent blockages in specific chakras to clear an align them. If you are working on a process of purification, invite Red Serpent to assist you.
Your Tone is Tone 4 - Self-Existing
Order, definition, discrimination, natural cycles, meaningful alignment.
Four is the ray of measure, the alignment with natural cycles. It is the square, the base of the pyramid, the solid foundation that unifies the lines of directional force. Four is the diamond asking you to utilize tools of discrimination.
Now is the time to manifest your dream or vision. Look to natural logic, order and definition - these gifts support the whisperings of your creative spirit. You are the architect who manifests your dreams! Open the door and call forth the sacred Four. You are being brought into meaningful alignment, bringing healing into this cycle of your life.
The four directions offer you assistance in understanding universal physical laws. Use measure as a tool of consciousness to mold time, form and space. Now is the time to focus, to connect tangibly with the undefined. Take your ideas and give them discipline and form. Develop the ability to discriminate without creating separation or judgement. Channel your creative energy constructively, generating the power for practical manifestation!
