One of the most occult public parks on this Earth

[The One]

Unbeknownst to many, the "Vigelandsparken" public park in Norway is filled with occult symbology; which some would say is telling a story of humanities battle with "The Dragons", our loss, how the victorious "Dragons" mated with our women, and how they protect their offspring

The park was built by Gustav Vigeland who died in 1943, in addition to this huge park he also designed the Nobel Peace Prize medal.

very odd and very elaborate.
we battle the serpent? serpent = fascism? or what?

Some druids had snakes tattooed on their wrists. The snake is also associated with healing. See both the caduceus and Aesclepius' Staff. Don't know details about Norway's celtic/pagan roots.

The music is by Robbie Robertson.

Stories about battles with reptiles/dragons go way back. There's also Typhon in Greek mythology and equivalents in Babylonian/Sumerian mythology. There were serpent and fish cults in ancient Babylon (they had a fish god named "Dagon" -- close to "dragon" eh?) and some interesting depictions have survived from that culture:












I'm not sure what that object is in the center of the depiction above but it looks a lot like a fasces without the ax head, which was a symbol of authority used by the Romans that also appears in the Greco-Roman depictions at the US Capitol.

Remember it was a serpent in the garden of Eden too, though in the original language it may be a little more complicated than that, because the same root for "serpent" was also used for something like "trickster."

They have their 'man bags' too. Does the Pope have a type of man bag?

I definitely thought some of the reptiles in the Vigeland sculptures look like dragons.

There may also be a reference to the Biblical story of Jonah and the Whale. Except of course that the Bible itself never says anywhere that it was, indeed, a whale that swallowed Jonah, and that in the old times — even up until as late as the middle ages — whales and dolphins were believed to be (and were depicted in artwork as) fish, complete with gills and scales.

Also note that the miters are not always open. Sometimes they have the front and rear sown together at the top, and one popular myth is that they were worn by beings with elongated skulls — said to be living inside the Earth — to hide the fact that they weren't really human.

Or by later priests who wanted to imitate the "gods" with the elongated skulls so much that some indigenous cultures even deformed their own skulls artificially. Either way it points to something very bizarre.

This park is featured in an April 8th article at VT entitled, The Coming Shift to the Esoteric.

Lucifer's coming and he's going to be portrayed as the good guy. Does anyone here recall how Mary Summer Rain said Lucifer was really an angel of light?

Crazy times, methinks.

In Arthur C. Clarke's book Childhood's End, flying saucers appear over cities one day, are invincible to military attack, and just float in the air above the cities until people get used to them and aren't afraid anymore. Then communication is initiated one day between the ships and human authorities on Earth. Then after some preliminary communication and negotiations, a craft lands and a being gets out. And it's tall, red, and has two horns on its head just like a devil. But they end up teaching humanity lots of things and soon mankind itself evolves to a super state of consciousness than these devil-like beings themselves.

Clarke wrote that book in the 50's or 60's and he was connected to elitist circles, so I have a feeling he was writing all of this based on things he was hearing from others.

[Dreamtimer]

The book sounds better than the recent movie which ends with earth and humans being destroyed by these horned ETs.

[bsbray]

I didn't even know they made a movie out of it but yes, the book ending sounds better from what you say. What happens specifically, from what I remember, after mankind is introduced to that ET species, human children start being born with telepathy and other mental powers and they don't even speak to each other audibly anymore, only to the older generations who aren't telepathic. And then it seems like some allusions were made to this being the end of childhood for mankind, that we had reached some new level, though ironically it was a generation of children who accomplished this.
