YHWH to create the whole name of God. <strong>The</strong>se vowels represent the<br />

female spirit that moved on the face of the water. 70 Emperor Frederick<br />

III, the first Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor who reigned from 1452CE<br />

to 1493CE, adopted this vowel set as his personal motto or device. 71<br />

We have seen that deconstruction of the name Solomon produces<br />

three names and, alternatively, Solomon is one of three names making up<br />

the greater whole of the Tetragrammaton. This same formula is common<br />

with the Afro-Asiatic Triple Goddess. While a single Goddess, she has<br />

three primary guises, each in turn represented by three Muses. This leads<br />

to the famous Ennead of nine Muses or manifestations of the Triple<br />

Goddess. 72 <strong>The</strong> three original Muses are the Triple Goddess in her<br />

orgiastic aspect, while Three Fates and the Three Hesperides are the<br />

Triple Goddess in her death aspect. 73<br />

Every study of mythology must begin with a study of the manytitles<br />

Mother Goddess, Triple Goddess or White Goddess. 74 Her worship<br />

underlay the political and religious systems that existed before the Indo<br />

Hittite invasions. When motherhood was the prime mystery of society,<br />

the Mother Goddess took lovers for pleasure. Her victims feared, adored<br />

and obeyed her. <strong>The</strong> cycles of the Moon, which aligned with her twentyeight<br />

day menstrual cycles, led the Mother Goddess to be identified with<br />

the three phases of the moon: maiden, nymph or nubile woman and crone.<br />

While the moon did not grow dimmer as the year waned, the sun died and<br />

was reborn under her influence. <strong>The</strong> witches of <strong>The</strong>ssaly, a Mother<br />

Goddess cult dreaded by everyone, threatened the sun with perpetual<br />

night. 75 It did not happen because the Goddess raised another king.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Priestesses at Delphi chose a nymph to celebrate the sacred<br />

marriage by a foot race. 76 This forerunner of our modern Olympic<br />

Games, Hera’s Games, took place one day before the main games. 77 <strong>The</strong><br />

victrix became the high priestess of Hera and one with the Goddess by<br />

partaking of her sacred cow.<br />

Another method was simply to award the right by ultimogeniture<br />

to the youngest nubile woman of the junior branch of the royal house.<br />

<strong>The</strong> nymph then chose an annual lover who was elevated to king.<br />

After erotic lovemaking with the nymph, the crone sacrificed the<br />

king to fructify the trees, flocks and crops with his blood. <strong>The</strong> college of<br />

priestesses then ate his raw flesh wearing the masks of bitches, sows and<br />

mares. In Europe, the ritual was amended so two kings reigned and died.<br />

<strong>The</strong> king died at the summer solstice and his tanist, or supposed twin, at<br />

the winter solstice. <strong>The</strong> tanist’s reward was reincarnation as an oracular<br />
