The King ritually marries the Sacred Feminine ancestry of his Bloodline, part 1 of the Pluto Series
A metaphor for the conscious joining of the dynastic, transcendent, rational, ordered, linear masculine god consciousness with immanent, eternal, raw, unchanging, non-rational goddess consciousness.
Not all marriages are easy- nor should they be. Not all metaphors are easy, for that matter.
This is an ancient Germanic coronation rite, perhaps the most central source of alchemical power and significance for a Germanic King- but also an allegory for the journey of the soul into completion. It is the Alchemical marriage of these forces internally that provides dominion over the Self. This allows the spirit to give birth to Choice, rather than to be at the whim of Fate alone. It is the consecration of Free Will.
This story arc has faded into dusty fairy tale history, finding one of its only modern embodiments in the watered down Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Rapunzel tales. To the modern mind, this is one of the harder to grasp, more arcane and esoteric stories we have inherited while its context has become almost completely occulted. It has been coopted and commercialized into meaningless saccharine Disney fluff, or even romantic comedy, both out of ignorance and in order to purposefully obfuscate its true message and power.
It is the Bane of many modern positivists, gender theorists, and feminists who lack the context of alchemical and occulted knowledge this rite points to. For anyone making a cursory glance at it, it is likely to appear to be symbolic of regressive Patriarchy, Oppression and Negative gender Stereotypes.
Mention of Kingship and Bloodlines will hit an odd and uncomfortable tone for many since it hints at eugenics and the bloodline-obsessed royals and their secret societies, such as the Priory of Sion, the Templars, Knights Hospitalers and Illuminati, whose very existence and role in history has been redacted from mainstream history with extraordinary precision and extreme prejudice. Kingship also suggests an outmoded, anti-democratic and ugly reminder of feudalism. Discussion of these topics has no place in an egalitarian transhumanist postmodern world where DNA is just DNA.
Yet it is one of a few myths that remain in the popular consciousness that echo these original stories, which were once pervasive and central to Hermetic and Pagan Cosmology in many of it’s manifestations.
This story has many other important correlations to key narratives that consistently percolate in the collective psyche like tired movie franchises that keep making their own sequels, ad nauseum. These include, but are not limited to the Arthurian legend and it’s shadow, the tortured, repressed and occulted Jesus and Mary Magdalene trope, and to the transgression of the Pluto and Persephone story of Greek mythology. These are rooted consciously or not in the story of Isis and Osiris- which itself hints back toward a large scale coming of age of humanity.
These tropes won’t go away because they are absolutely crucial to the proper functioning of human society. When the deeper meaning of this marriage is universally allowed to fall into dysfunction and decay, the role of individuation in human development is swept under the rug, the family dies or becomes horrifically disfigured, and the society as a whole is on it’s way to a collapse into an oxymoronic utilitarian delusion. The ancient dark Goddess cults took these rites as a Dionysian psychosexual rite to consecrate the masses to the eternal dominion of the Goddess, to create the deeply psychological sexual hierarchies of control that are being reimposed and doubled down upon in our contemporary societal demolition and emasculation known as the Great Reset, New World Order, etc.
From this mess we must parse out what we can: we can squint and perhaps allow ourselves to see masculine or male archetypes, whether they occur in female or male characters, and loosely bundle them, and do the same with the feminine or female archetypes. We can refine our ideas as we dive in, letting some things go while keeping others, and try to emerge with something that restores a degree of honor to the essential, true and immutable dualism in humanity as it reflects, and cannot be separated from, nature. Assaults upon our basic human consciousness are not only potentially suicidal and genocidal, but also ecocidal.
