OCTOBER 14-Upcoming Solar Eclipse!
Ancient Halloween & Black Themes
Coming Soon: A “Ring of Fire” in the Sky
On Oct. 14, 2023, an annular total solar eclipse will be visible to millions across
the globe as it sweeps through the skies of the northwestern United States
through Mexico and Central America and into South America, exiting the continent
in Brazil. Even if you are not in the path of annularity, you will still be able to see a
partial solar eclipse if weather conditions are right.

The ancient October festivals are one of my favorite topics as most people that know of my research probably know now! The most crucial reason why this topic becomes supreme for me would be because, although still a great kept secret, the ancient scripts pinpoint this month and day, OCTOBER 14, to be the very month and week of the Crucifixion. It continually amazes me though, that the Black Church still does not profess this truth from the pulpit, yet the entire faith revolves around this very Passover festival of the First Coming and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Still today, and although the ancient Saturnalia Festival detailed in the Gospel that occurred on the very same day that marks the Crucifixion, nevertheless, this truth is almost completely ignored. Although the ancient Romans changed this Saturnalia festival about thirty years later after the Crucifixion to occur at a different time, albeit astronomy and other scientific and historical facts should prove that the original pagan festival occurred during the middle of October and did so for thousands of years. Even more astonishingly would be that the Crucifixion happened during an incredible Total Solar Eclipse that lasted for three (3) hours and crossed the entire globe when the continental plates had not separated into the seven (7) continents that we have today! That makes the timing of this upcoming solar eclipse even more interesting to note. Even though many scientists do not highlight the effects that eclipses can possibly have on our earth, there does seem to be a possibility that eclipses can affect the earth from time-to-time. In the recent past Great American Total Solar Eclipse that happened in August of 2017, amazingly four (4) tropical depressions developed immediately afterwards out of which eventually spurned four (4) major hurricanes and other rare phenomena happened such as red tides as well. And after the Crucifixion, about thirty years later, the ancient scriptures reveal that the earth’s plates separated eventually, and the north pole and south pole formed. Interestingly too, many ancient festivals revolve around historical and scientific phenomena and therefore the history behind ancient festivals like the Saturnalia festival may be beneficial to know.
For thousands of years, the ancient pagan Saturnalia Festival of which would also be the same Halloween festival observed today, was not a solar festival nor a winter’s solstice festival like today, rather, just like most of its’ symbolism reveal, it would be A LUNAR FESTIVAL. Halloween symbolisms such as ‘a full moon’, an orange moon, bats, owls, nighttime themes of cemeteries, witches depicted on brooms and in a moon silhouette, etc. and reveal that this would be an ancient moon festival in relation to death themes. Astronomically, exactly thirteen (13) days after a crescent new moon of every month begins THE FIRST EVENING OF THE MONTH ON A LUNAR CALENDAR. And so, every month and after the 13th evening begins the first day of a scientific calendar and the 14th day, technically becomes the FIRST DAY OF THE LUNAR MONTH. For the ancient Hebrew Israelites, SEPTEMBER 14 became their annual New Year’s Day except for their leap year. So every third year, their new years’ festival, Passover, began on OCTOBER 14 and therefore, Jesus Christ became Crucified during a leap year and during the very same week as the Saturnalia festival. According to scripture too, he died on the cross on the second day, on a Thursday, October 16 after a three-hour total solar eclipse, and then after three days, he was resurrected early Sunday morning, October 19, the first day of the week. Surprisingly, this month too, OCTOBER, has been observed in the Middle East as a significant holiday, the SIMKAT FESTIVAL. On a Gregorian lunar/solar Calendar, however, the actual day changes and at times, it will be on October 19. The 19th day in Ethiopia becomes the most major holiday as well, known as ‘the Timkhet (Timkat) festival’ however, unlike in the Middle East Simkhat, moreover, the month of January would be the time for this holiday. Furthermore, just as the First Coming was marked by an astronomical phenomenon of a total solar eclipse that marked the October event, this upcoming Ring-of-Fire eclipse becomes a reminder of this very historical time of year and helps to understand more about leap years and how our equinoxes are aligned with ancient festivals.
So, even though today, Halloween has been moved and observed on October 31, to mark a Solar Calendar, however, the theme still reveals its’ ancient origin with being a lunar festival with black themes of human sacrifice. Ironically, the First Resurrection and the dark themes of mummies, skulls of decapitated heads, and skeletons that come to life go together, yet the Black Church almost completely ignores this concept. Even though the Holy Bible states that graves were opened, and the dead came to life at this very time when Jesus was Crucified, nevertheless, this has not taught in the Church. The Saturnalia festival and Halloween was observed as one theme in ancient times; however, certain aspects were divided up and observed in different ways over time. The Jews Passover Week was moved about thirty years later after the Crucifixion to be observed during the springtime and began to coincide with the Roman pagan Easter festival, but the Saturnalia festival became a winter’s solstice festival observed in December or January. Howbeit, the same dual theme of Halloween and Saturnalia has remained the same as it has been for thousands of years even before Moses ordained the Passover festival way back during the time of the Exodus. Surprise! The very institution of the Passover Festival was a seal, a hidden prophecy. This seal about the Saturnalia Festival was opened during that fateful week when the Passover Festival fell on the same week to mark this dark ritual that had occurred for thousands of years. Jesus came to mark this ritual of human sacrifice aimed against the priesthood of the living God. So now when Easter occurs every spring and a purple cloth has been draped across a Church symbolism of the planet Saturn, therefore, it now becomes the mark of the very Star of Bethlehem that also marked the advent of the babe born during that springtime when the star appeared in our solar system during the Festival of Booths! And then the babe became a man and that same star revolved around the sun about thirty years later to mark him again. Three and one-half years later, that same star stood over Calvary too:
[22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him,
and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee
I am well pleased. [23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years
of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, … ST LUKE 3:23.
A Saturn Return happens approximately every 29.5 years (i.e., the duration
of Saturn’s orbit around the sun), which means it lands in the same place in the
sky it did when you were born roughly around the time you turn 29. Generally, it
“returns” for approximately 2.5 to three years.

This ancient Saturnalia Festival that revolves around ‘the pagan god Set’ [i.e. Saturn], that marks a theme of human sacrifice goes way back in time, much farther in time than when Moses instituted the Passover festival. It goes back even before ancient Egypt when the dual Opet festival occurred between Osiris and Set. This theme of good and evil not only marks the Nicolaitan rituals observed in ancient Turkey Anatolia that included the goddess Cybele but, has been played out in so many early cultures that spread from the Near East all over the world in antiquity. And so, by the time of the Roman Empire, the Etruscan bronze or wooden statue of Saturn remained bound in the treasury temple of Mercury in Italy and was revived again to become a live human sacrificial ritual in Jerusalem. Jesus Christ became the captive god Set [i.e., Saturn, Seth] that became conquered by Mercury [i.e., Herod], the god of trade and mercantile and sacrificed at the end of the triumphant parade. This Black-on-Black violent ritual marks the sacrifice of Black males that have become victims of genocidal attempts, mass incarceration, miseducation, and rape, and spiritual death by way of homosexualism now introduced at birth; their souls being robbed in the cradle by a system that introduces this ideology before they have the human right to know why they are born genetically as males. Satan’s movement, his unisex government, has been set up to attack anatomically straight males, not only of Black males, but ultimately males of all walks of life. This would be the purpose of the sacrificial ram of God Almighty; the enmity of God that came to bruise the head of the matriarchal government that began in the Garden of Eden at the time of the Original Sin. Soon the temple of Mercury became changed to become the temple of Saturn many years later after the Crucifixion. The Diwali festival and its doomed god Narak-Asura that becomes an effigy burned at the end of a parade echoes the same dual theme of good versus evil, and light versus darkness.
These dual themed rituals of Woden’s Dag [i.e., Magog’s day; Wednesday] took on so many other symbolisms but the same theme of human sacrifice remains the same even today. Whether the theme was about the gender conflict of Ops and the wedding day of Oden [i.e., Wednesday] when the evergreen tree became a central theme and symbolism of Opalia [i.e., goddess Consiva; conceives from a sexual encounter after eating the forbidden fruit of the tree] and Saturn, or whether it focuses on the other dual theme of the two opposing Black males, the dual themes became universal to mark the Original Sin and the world that came from it. Live victims were selected to be ‘the god Saturn’ for a day, given the robe of Herod or an ethnic puppet ruler, given the rulers clothes, such as a crown, scepter, etc. But eventually, the most supreme god Jupiter would emerge and cause both to be sacrificed. Whether Magog represented his feminine form and a matriarchal dominance or his male form, he ultimately reflects a dual theme within himself. Out of Magog would emerge the prince of Magog, that would be Gog and he reigned supreme. And so, strangely one day, during the Roman Empire times, the Jews’ Passover Week aligned itself with the Saturnalia Festival and the Ram was sacrificed at the end of a parade on a hill of skulls. And that day was marked astronomically to be during a total solar eclipse in October. Whether the moon theme depicts an orange moon [lunar eclipse] or a black moon [solar eclipse] this festival defines death and autumn not springtime. Interestingly, this upcoming and rare Ring-of-Fire solar eclipse will occur in North America and remind us of an ancient time when major grain festivals occurred during the middle of October and when it became regarded as a leap month. And six months later, another total solar eclipse has been predicted to occur on April 8, 2024, along with a periodic comet known as Pons-Brooks. Even more of an intrigue will be that next year, during the middle of the month of October, another comet has been detected by the Purple Mountain observatory, and will attempt to make an entry into our inner solar system and move towards the sun.
The original day was given over to the Opalia, honoring Ops, who personified abundance and the fruits of the earth, and was the consort of Saturn. As the two deities represented the produce of the fields and orchards, so they also were thought to represent heaven and earth.

Ops, Roman goddess (originally perhaps of the Earth’s fertility) with an ancient shrine in the Regia, the office of the pontifex maximus, which only he and the Vestal Virgins might enter. She was early equated with Rhea, wife of Saturn, and like her was later identified with Cybele. She also had connections with the rustic god Consus. Her title, Consiva, and the nomenclature and dating of her festivals (the Opalia on December 19 and the Opiconsiva on August 25) illustrate her affinities with the Saturnalia (December 17) …
