BERITHA

NAGUAL NAVAJO GIRL BERITHA:

The Twenty-Eighth Spirit in Order of Valkyria, as Wodkhan bound them, is named Beritha. She is a Mighty, Great, and Terrible Duchess. She has other names given unto her of later times, viz: Beale, or Beal., and Bofry or Bolfry as well as Beruth. In his euphemistic account of the Phoenician deities, Sanchuniathon says:

“In their time is born a certain Elioun called “the Most High,” and a female named BERUTH, and these dwelt in the neighbourhood of Byblos. And from them is born Epigeius or Autochthon, whom they afterwards called Sky; so that from him they named the element above us Sky because of the excellence of its beauty. And he has a sister born of the aforesaid parents, who was called Earth, and from her, he says, because of her beauty, they called the earth by the same name. And their father, the Most High, died in an encounter with wild beasts, and was deified, and his children offered to him libations and sacrifices.”

According to Sanchuniathon it is from Sky and Earth that El and various other deities are born, though ancient texts refer to El as creator of heaven and earth. The Hittite theogony knows of a primal god named Alulu who fathered Sky (and possibly Earth) who was overthrown by his son Sky, Sky then being overthrown by his son Kumarbi. A similar tradition seems to be at the basis of Sanchuniathon’s account. As to Beruth who is here the most high’s wife, a relationship with the Hebrew (Berith) Bərīt ‘Covenant’ or with the city of Beirut have both been suggested. However, the word Bərīt had originally originated from the Akkanadian (Babylonian) and that of the far elder prior Sumerian term ‘Biritu’ which means to ‘fetter’ or ‘to bond’, which thence to have become the later Phoenician 'Beruth'.

Sumeria was more than likely an Altaic colony whose original ancestors had escaped a Great Flood, which had hit the Altai (Altay) region of Southern Siberia in most ancient times, which has been discovered by Geologists. It is from the Genetic cradle of the Altai to Baikal region of Siberia that the North Chinese, Mongolian, Eurasian and Native American peoples had originally stemmed from.

Beritha appears in the form of a most beautiful young Native American woman of Navajo descent dressed in Red Clothing, riding upon a Red Iron Horse, and having a crowning band of Hopi and Zuni Gold around her hat to remind of her spiral Altai source. The colour Red of Medicine Wheel is associated with the 'Southern' quarter and the First Gate of 'Rubedo' Dreaming, through which she is a guide into the realm of the Nagual. She gives True answers concerning the Past, Present, and to come.

You must make use of a Ring in calling her forth, as is spoken of regarding Belithi. In Alchemy Berith is the element with which all Metals can be transmuted into Gold that many of the Native American Peoples perceive to be the sacred menstrual blood of the Earth Mother. She can give Dignities and can confirm them unto her Master as well as to teach him in depth about Alchemy, which to have its Sexual Secrets she to inform about via Erotic Dreams. She speaks with a very clear and subtle voice to tell much about the Nagualism of Toltec Sorcery, which to have informed the works of Carlos Castaneda. However, if she is not asked a direct question she will thence tell tall tales of imaginative fabrication and such to be convoluted of colourful weave to inspire many a story. The Erotic dreams she to bring are most sensual and she to love her Master with a most lustful passion. She governs 26 Legions of Female Spirits like her self.


CHAPTER EIGHT-LEGGED-MARE OF THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

‘IT’S MY OWN INVENTION’

One can imaginatively associate the 'Red-Knight' featured in the 'Eighth' chapter of Lewis Carroll's Alice Adventure 'Through The Looking Glass' with 'Beritha', so as to perceive Feminine of Manifestation.

“The Gateway into the Native American Medicine wheel is that of the ‘Red’ Southern quarter, which holds the Heart, Fire, where the Rattlesnake arises. It is the place of the Waters and of Blood, more so the Blood of the Mother whom gives birth to all and that of her Moon, which watches over the Cycles of the Feminine; the 'Sacred Plants' are of the South, whom are the Elder first born upon the planet wherefore they are the Gate-Keepers of the First-Gate of Dreaming where the inner Child resides. The Red road of Emotion then leads towards the White North of Mind, which conceptualises as an Adult, where belief systems are ‘Invented’ through Language to be ‘Communicated’ but such can become as prisons of Paradigm when one forgets one has created such structures.”

(ALICE) After a while the noise seemed gradually to die away, till all was dead silence, and Alice lifted up her head in some alarm. There was no one to be seen, and her first thought was that she must have been Dreaming about the Lion and the Unicorn and those queer Anglo-Saxon Messengers. However, there was the great dish still lying at her feet, on which she had tried to cut the plum-cake, ‘So I wasn’t Dreaming, after all,’ she said to herself, ‘unless—unless we’re all part of the same Dream. Only I do hope it’s my Dream, and not the Red King’s!

“The Wars of the Roses (1453–1487) were a series of dynastic civil wars fought in England between supporters of the Houses of Lancaster and York. The name “Wars of the Roses” is not thought to have been used during the time of the wars but has its origins in the badges associated with the two royal houses, the WHITE Rose of York and the RED Rose of Lancaster. The term came into common use in the nineteenth century, after the publication of Anne of Geierstein by Sir Walter Scott. Scott based the name on a fictional scene in William Shakespeare’s play Henry VI Part 1, where the opposing sides pick their different-coloured Roses at the TempleChurch.”

(ALICE) I don’t like belonging to another person’s Dream,’ she went on in a rather complaining tone: ‘I’ve a great mind to go and wake him, and see what happens!’ At this moment her thoughts were interrupted by a loud shouting of ‘Ahoy! Ahoy! Check!’ and a Knight, dressed in Crimson armour, came galloping down upon her, brandishing a great club. Just as he reached her, the horse stopped suddenly: ‘You’re my prisoner!’ the Knight cried, as he tumbled off his horse.

“Rubedo is a Latin word meaning “Redness” that was adopted by 15th and 16th century Alchemists to define the fourth major stage in the “Alchemical opus” in achieving enlightened consciousness and the total fusion of Spirit and Matter.”

(ALICE) Startled as she was, Alice was more frightened for him than for herself at the moment, and watched him with some anxiety as he mounted again. As soon as he was comfortably in the saddle, he began once more ‘You’re my -‘ but here another voice broke in ‘Ahoy! Ahoy! Check!’ and Alice looked round in some surprise for the new enemy.

“Albedo is one of the four major stages of Alchemy; it is a Latin term meaning “Whiteness”. The Albedo is literally referred to as Ablutio; the washing away of impurities by aqua vitae. Psychologist Carl Jung equated the Albedo withUunconscious Contra-sexual Soul Images; the Anima in men and Animus in women; it is a phase where insight into shadow projections are realized and inflated ego and unneeded conceptualizations are removed from the psyche.”

(ALICE) This time it was a White Knight. He drew up at Alice’s side, and tumbled off his horse just as the Red Knight had done: then he got on again, and the two Knights sat and looked at each other for some time without speaking. Alice looked from one to the other in some bewilderment.

“Yab-Yum is generally understood to represent the primordial (or Mystical) Union of RED-Wisdom and WHITE-Compassion, which is symbolically represented by Red-Menstrual-Blood and White-Semen. In Buddhism the Masculine form is Active, representing the Compassion and skilful means (Upaya) that have to be developed in order to reach enlightenment. The Feminine form is Passive and represents Wisdom (Prajna), which is also necessary to enlightenment. United, the figures symbolize the union necessary to overcome the veils of Maya, the false duality of object and subject.

(ALICE) ‘She’s my prisoner, you know!’ the Red Knight said at last.

Yab-Yum may also be represented through the aniconic signification of Yantra and Mandala. In Tibetan Buddhism, the same ideas are to be found concerning the Feminine-Bell and the Masculine-Dorje, which, like the yab-yum, symbolize the dualism that must be exceeded. The sacred Tantric practice leads to rapid development of the Mind by using the experience of Bliss, Non-Duality, and Ecstasy while in Sexual Communion with one’s Consort.”

(ALICE) ‘Yes, but then I came and rescued her!’ the White Knight replied. ‘Well, we must fight for her, then,’ said the Red Knight, as he took up his helmet (which hung from the saddle, and was something the shape of a horse’s head) and put it on.

“In Hinduism the Yab-Yum has a slightly different meaning. There, the Embraced posture of Copulation between the couple represents the Divine strength of Creation. The Hindu concept is the one of a Passive-Masculine deity embracing his Femine counterpart of spouse called Shakti, which represents his Activity or Power. These figures are frequently worked in the shape of statues or relief’s, or are painted on Thangkas.”

(ALICE) ‘You will observe the Rules of Battle, of course?’ the White Knight remarked, putting on his helmet too.

“As a Tantric Sadhana, Yab-Yum is akin to the Kāmamudrā or “Loveseal” (sometimes Karmamudrā or “Actionseal”) (T:las kyi phyag rgya). This is the Tantric Yoga involving a physical partner in ones Battle of Love. However, the aim of the practice is to Control one’s Sexual energy, and the most advanced forms of Yab-Yum practice are done Mentally by usinng Medititaion, Visualisation and Lucid Dreams, without utilising a Physical Partner. Like all other Yogas, it cannot be practiced without the basis of the Inner (Fire-Shakti) Heat Yoga, Tummo, of which Kāmamudrā is an extension. This Sadhana is subsumed within the Six Yogas.”

(ALICE) ‘I always do,’ said the Red Knight, and they began banging away at each other with such fury that Alice got behind a tree to be out of the way of the blows. ‘I wonder, now, what the Rules of Battle are,’ she said to herself, as she watched the fight, timidly peeping out from her hiding-place. ‘One Rule seems to be, that if one Knight hits the other, he knocks him off his horse; and, if he misses, he tumbles off himself—and another Rule seems to be that they hold their clubs with their arms, as if they were Punch and Judy—What a noise they make when they tumble! Just like a whole set of fire-irons falling into the fender! And how quiet the horses are! They let them get on and off them just as if they were tables!’

“In Chinese philosophy, the concept of Yin and Yang is used to describe how seemingly disjunct or opposing forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, giving rise to each other in turn. The concept lies at the heart of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese Martial arts, and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan, and qigong as well as Sexual Alchemy. Many natural dualities - e.g. Dark and Light, Female and Male, Low and High - are cast in Chinese thought as Yin and Yang.”

(ALICE) Another Rule of Battle, that Alice had not noticed, seemed to be that they always fell on their heads; and the battle ended with their both falling off in this way, side by side. When they got up again, they shook hands, and then the Red Knight mounted and galloped off.

“The relationship between Yin and Yang is often described in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain and in the valley. Yin (literally the ‘shady place’ or ‘North slope’ ie: Vagina) is the dark area occluded by the mountain’s bulk, while yang (literally the ‘sunny place’ or ‘South slope’ ie: Phallus) is the brightly lit portion. As the Sun moves across the sky, Yin and Yang gradually trade places with each other, revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed. Yin is usually characterized as slow, soft, insubstantial, diffuse, cold, wet, and tranquil. It is generally associated with the Feminine, Birth and Generation, and with the Night. Yang, by contrast, is characterized as Hard, Fast, Solid, Dry, Focused, Hot, and Aggressive and is associated with Masculinity and Daytime; when out of balance Yin and Yang are perceived to be in conflict with each other.”

(ALICE) ‘It was a glorious victory, wasn’t it?’ said the White Knight, as he came up panting.

“Although the Roses were occasionally used as symbols during the Wars of the Roses, most of the participants wore badges associated with their immediate feudal lords or protectors. For example, Henry’s forces at Bosworth fought under the banner of a 'Red Dragon', while the Yorkist army used Richard III’s personal symbol of a 'White Boar'. Evidence of the importance of the Rose symbols at the time, however, includes the fact that King Henry VII chose at the end of the wars to combine the Red and White Roses into a Single RED and WHITE Tudor Rose.”

(ALICE) ‘I don’t know,’ Alice said doubtfully. ‘I don’t want to be anybody’s prisoner. I want to be a QUEEN.’

"When Yin and Yang are in balance united one has 'Tao', which precedes and encompasses the universe. As with other nondualistic philosophies, all the observable objects in the world - referred to in the Tao Te Ching as ‘the named’ or ‘the ten thousand things’ - are considered to be manifestations of Tao, and can only operate within the boundaries of Tao. Tao is, by contrast, often referred to as ‘the nameless’, because neither it nor its principles can ever be adequately expressed in words. It is conceived, for example, with neither shape nor form, as simultaneously perfectly still and constantly moving, as both larger than the largest thing and smaller than the smallest, because the words that describe shape, movement, size, or other qualities always create dichotomies, and Tao is always a unity. While the Tao cannot be expressed, Taoism holds that it can be known, and its principles can be followed. Much of Taoist writing focuses on the value of following the Tao - called Te (Virtue) - and of the ultimate uselessness of trying to understand or control Tao outright to make it as ones 'Prisoner'. This is often expressed through Yin and Yang arguments, where every action creates a counter-action as a Natural, unavoidable movement within manifestations of the Tao."

When one has attained the 'Pink-'Rose' of 'Tao' one can thence fuse Two Horses into one of 'Eight-Legged-Mare' to Trance Ride gliding over Wyrd web woven to Warp Cubic-Space-Time, Travelling without Moving.

The Red Knight Beritha will show one how to get there, but one must also know of the White Knight Orobasi so as to win the Tao-Rose of Alice.
