The Fazer Rooster

At the city center of Helsinki stands a Björn Weckström statue called The Fazer Rooster. Helsinki art museum introduction:

"The Fazer Group donated 'The Fazer Rooster' to the City of Helsinki as a part of its 100th anniversary celebrations. The work belongs to the collections of the Helsinki Art Museum. 'The Rooster' is located in front of Fazer's famous café on Kluuvikatu. It was unveiled on September 17, 1991. The bronze sculpture is a stylized Fazer symbol, a rooster. In fact, it is so stylized that it invites the viewer to see other forms - someone has suggested that Weckström used a cervical vertebra of an elk as a model."

See how there's yet another obelisk?

Mr. Karl Fazer, the founder of Fazer company, was a Freemason. Are you surprised to hear that the rooster is a masonic symbol?

Karl Fazer and the masonic "hidden hand"

Rooster was one of the symbols of the Greek god Hermes. In Rome, this god was known as Mercury.

Hermes/Mercury and the rooster

In masonic context, Hermes/Mercury is an embodiment of masonry. The symbolism of freemasonry is considered as hermetic.

"Mercury, as known to the Romans and as Thoth by the Egyptians, the god Hermes, is considered by Pike to represent the Master of the Lodge." - Russell R. Boedeker, 32nd degree Freemason

"Manly P. Hall in his work, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, states, “…he [Hermes] was the author of the Masonic initiatory rituals…Nearly all of the Masonic symbols are Hermetic in character" - ibid

"In all the old manuscript records which contain the Legend of the Craft, mention is made of Hermes as one of the founders of Freemasonry." (masonicdictionary.com)

Another famous symbol of Hermes is the caduceus. He inherited it from his Egyptian counterpart Thoth. Thoth, the god of wisdom, was depicted with a head of an ibis bird. There is an interesting passage in the Bible about rooster and ibis.

"Who gives the ibis wisdom or gives the rooster understanding?" - Job 38:36 (New International Version)

Funny how easy it is to find blatant paganism from the Bible.

Hermeticism is an integral part of freemasonry ("Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn", "Hermetic Degrees",  "Hermetic Rites" etc.) and the esoteric arts of "the Elite". The father of hermeticism is the mythical Egyptian high priest and mage called Hermes Trismegistus. For Freemasons he is the so called forefather of masonry. 

"Hermes Trismegistus, "thrice-great Hermes," emerged from the amalgamation of the wisdom gods Hermes and Thoth and is one of the most enigmatic figures of intellectual history. Since antiquity, the legendary "wise Egyptian" has been considered the creator of several mystical and magical writings on such topics as alchemy, astrology, medicine, and the transcendence of God. Philosophers of the Renaissance celebrated Hermes Trismegistus as the founder of philosophy, Freemasons called him their forefather, and Enlightenment thinkers championed religious tolerance in his name. To this day, Hermes Trismegistus is one of the central figures of the occult — his name is synonymous with the esoteric." - Florian Ebeling

Going back to The Fazer Rooster. The obvious Hermes symbolism is not the only layer of symbolism in this statue. There is another layer, not too surprising for the readers of this blog.

First we have to look at the satellite image of Helsinki. The statue forms a straight line on the map with the tarot statues of Lönnrot memorial and Alexander II statue.

From left to right: Lönnrot memorial, The Fazer Rooster, Alexander II

And another line:

From left to right: Lasipalatsi clock tower, The Fazer Rooster, The Stone of the Empress  

And another:

From left to right: Fact and Fable, The Fazer Rooster, The Law

And another:

From left to right: Aleksis Kivi statue, The Fazer Rooster, The Shipwrecked 

See the pattern? Always in the middle.

Let's take a closer look on the two last lines. The Fazer Rooster is in the middle and the four other statues around it are all tarot statues. Fact and Fable depicts the tarot card Star, which is ruled by the sign of Aquarius.

On the opposite side is The Law, which depicts the tarot card Strength, which is ruled by the sign of Leo.

Aleksis Kivi statue represents the card The Hierophant, which is ruled by the sign of Taurus.

On the opposite side is The Shipwrecked, which represents the card Death, which is ruled by the sign of Scorpio.

The four tarot statues around The Fazer Rooster

The four signs, Aquarius, Leo, Taurus and Scorpio are the four Fixed signs of the zodiac, forming a cross on the zodiac wheel.

Fixed signs

There are two tarot cards, that have these signs on the corners of the card: Wheel of Fortune and The World. In the most well known tarot deck, Rider-Waite, The World has Sophia the goddess of wisdom in the middle.

(The card is somewhat confusing, because the symbol of the sign of Scorpio used to be and eagle.)

From the upper left corner: Aquarius, Scorpio (used to be an eagle), Leo and Taurus

But if you look at some other older decks, instead of Sophia there is someone else as the main character of the card. Can you guess who?

Three Smiths

Right in the middle of Helsinki city center stands a Felix Nylund statue called Three smiths. Helsinki art museum introduction:

"The statue was commissioned by the Pro Helsingfors foundation, which donated it to the City of Helsinki. Felix Nylund (1878-1940) entered a sculpture with a smith theme in 1913 in the competition for the J.W. Snellman memorial. In 1919, Nylund made a drawing where the three smiths are placed on top of a 10-metre column. Although these early plans were never realized, Nylund reapplied the theme in the `The Three Smiths' which was to be placed in front of the Old Student House.

The `Three smiths' has been interpreted to symbolize, for instance, human labour and cooperation between people. The model for the master smith was Paavo Koskinen, a brick layer. The facial features are from the poet Arvid Mörne. The smith raising the hammer is a self-portrait of the young Nylund, while the third smith was modelled on the stone cutter Aku Nuutinen, an important assistant of Felix Nylund's. The statue is realistic with tones of Classicism. The statue is cast in bronze and its pedestal is red granite. The Latin text "MONUMENTUM - PONENDUM - CURAVIT - LEGATUM - J. TALLBERGIANUM - PRO HELSINGFORS A.D. MCMXXXII" is inscribed on the pedestal."

Symbolizes human labor and cooperation? Yeah, right.

There are two layers of esoteric symbolism in this statue. If you know anything about Freemasonry and masonic symbolism, you should be able to notice this one common masonic symbol - the hammer.

Masonic symbolism: Three hammers

Masonic symbolism: Hammer

Masonic symbolism: Hammer/gavel

There's a reason why this statue has three smiths and one of them is called the master smith. This is a reference to the original masonic grade system, which had only three grades, and the highest grade was called master mason. Today these three lowest grades are called the blue lodge.

Hammer has a part in the initiation ceremony of the third grade. In this ritual, the candidate gets struck by a hammer.

Masonic symbolism: Hammer and the initiation of the third grade

The origins of the hammer symbolism in the masonic context goes back to the myth of Tubal Cain.

"Tubal Cain has been consecrated among Masons of the present day as an ancient brother. His introduction of the arts of civilization having given the first value to property. Tubal Cain has been considered among Masons as a symbol of worldly possessions." - Albert Mackey

"The Mason must 'follow in the footsteps of his forefather, Tubal-Cain, who with the mighty strength of the war god hammered his sword into a plowshare." - Manly Palmer Hall

On esoteric level, the symbolism of the hammer is about shaping the world into the liking of the "Elite". This is communicated loud and clear in the famous Fabian Window in London School of Economics. Hammer has become the symbol of the socialist (collectivist) agenda of the "Elite".

Other examples of hammer symbolism:

Hammer in the USSR emblem

Hammer and the masonic compass in the East-Germany emblem

The pope and the hammer

And of course the products of the entertainment industry of the "Elite" are sometimes depicted with the hammer:

Pink Floyd and the marching hammers

The Beatles, the hammer and three nails on the head - subtle masonic symbolism

Let's go back to the Three smiths. The second layer of hidden in plain sight esoteric symbolism is about tarot. The statue depicts the card Wheel of Fortune.

Three smiths:

1. The pedestal is of round shape.
2. The statue has three characters.
3. One of the smiths is a leading master smith
4. The master smith holds an iron bar.
5. There is text on the round pedestal.
6. The statue is in front of a book store and a former university building.

Wheel of Fortune:

1. The wheel is a round object.
2. The card has three characters.
3. One of the characters, the sphinx, is at the moment a ruling figure. (The one at the top.)
4. The sphinx holds a sword, which was once an iron bar.
5. There is text on the round wheel.
6. There are four characters in the corners reading a book.

In mythology we have many gods with hammers. In Fenno-Scandinavia the hammer was the symbol of Thor / Ukko (Finnish version). Both were thunder gods.

(Finnish word for thunder is ukkonen)

In ancient Greece the smith god was called Hephaestus. In Rome he was called Vulcan. They were the gods of the volcanoes. An erupting volcano was considered as Hephaestus/Vulcan at work.

What very few people seem to know, is that all the smith gods are based on the oldest of them all, Goibniu of the Irish mythology. He was the blacksmith of the tribe of the goddess Danu - Tuatha de Danann.

Cult of Aton - part 7: The Owl

There are many goddesses "The Elite" venerates. One of the most important of them is the goddess Athena from the Greek mythology. She is the same deity as the Roman goddess Minerva.

Athena

Greek coin with Athena and the owl

The symbol of Athena/Minerva is the owl. It represents wisdom, secret knowledge and ability to "see in the dark". That describes the modus operandi of "the Elite" and its many secret societies. They have the secret knowledge - you don't. It is no wonder the Freemasons and the Illuminati (operating from inside the masonic network) use this symbol.

Some examples:

Illuminati's owl

Owl in the masonic logo

Owl in the Bohemian Grove logo

The owl of the Bohemian Grove

The owl of the Capitol Hill in Washington DC

Micro-owl in the one dollar bill

The pope and the "owl face"

The owl is a very common symbol in the entertainment industry, which is very much controlled by the Illuminati. This is how they brand their puppets:

Justin Bieber and the owl tattoo

Katy Perry music video

Miley Cyrus

Rihanna and the owl on her shirt

Usher in a PR event

If you pay attention, you can see lots of owl symbolism in movies and TV-series:

Owl in The Huntsman: Winter's war

Owl in Harry Potter

Owl in The Labyrinth (1986)

Owl in The Vikings

Many times the owl is included in the picture so that you don't really see it.

The Big Bang Theory - owl next to the microwave oven

True Detective - owl on top of a beam

The Americans - owls in the table lamp

And of course Athena herself is a popular theme in "the Elite's" symbolism:

It is very well known that the secret societies use the owl symbol, but what is not so well known is its connection to the Cult of Aton. Investigating the history of the goddess Athena reveals one more link between the modern day "Elite" and ancient Egypt.

The hint is in the name. Athena was the tutelary deity of the city of Athens (Athênai). Both of the names (the city and the goddess) have their etymological origins in the Egyptian sun god Aton or Aten. 

And it's not just the name we're looking at. According to the Greek myth, Athena became the patron of Athens after a competition with Poseidon. From Wikipedia:

"Athena competed with Poseidon to become the patron deity of Athens, which was yet unnamed, in a version of one founding myth. They agreed that each would give the Athenians one gift and that the Athenians would choose the gift they preferred. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and a salt water spring sprang up; this gave them a means of trade and water—Athens at its height was a significant sea power, defeating the Persian fleet at the Battle of Salamis—but the water was salty and not very good for drinking.

Athena, however, offered them the first domesticated olive tree. The Athenians (or their king, Cecrops) accepted the olive tree and with it the patronage of Athena, for the olive tree brought wood, oil, and food."

Yes, olive tree - one of the important symbols of the Cult of Aton. (More of that in the article The olive branch.)

Akhenaton offering an olive branch to Aton

Athens is a very, very old city. We don't have precise dates when it was established. The mainstream historians say the area was inhabited as early as 4th millennium BC. The facts that we do have (named after Aton, the olive branch) strongly imply that Athens was very closely connected to the Hyksos of the Lower Egypt. 

The first king of Athens was Cecrops, the king mentioned in the myth of the origins of the city. His reign was 1556-1506 BC. The Egyptian civil war that lead to the expelling of the Aton worshiping Hyksos nobility was in 1550 BC - 6 years after Cecrops became the king of Athens.

Cecrops' name was not a Greek name, so obviously he was a foreigner. So, a foreign king, naming the city after Aton, and the story of the olive tree. I wonder where he came from? 

You do the math.
