serpent of Wisdom. <strong>The</strong> phases of the moon governed time and the king<br />

died at the seventh full moon after the shortest day. 78 When resistance<br />

developed to this arrangement, the Priestesses substituted a surrogate boyking,<br />

called an interrex, who died in place of the king. 79<br />

In Crete a kid was substituted for the human victim; in Thrace it<br />

was a bull-calf; and the Aeolians substituted a foal. <strong>The</strong> rituals of the<br />

Mother Goddess were firmly rooted in Arcadia. <strong>The</strong> Arcadians<br />

sacrificially ate boys right up to Christian times. 80<br />

With insight from the Triple Goddess into Solomon’s name, it is<br />

hardly surprising that there is a long history of association between<br />

Solomon and his city of Jerusalem. Josephus records that the first name<br />

of Jerusalem was Solyma. <strong>The</strong> sun god Sol is the Jerusalem demi-god of<br />

the sun, Salma, who was associated with both Jerusalem and Hebron. 81<br />

Salma was also Reseph, the Canaanite Mikal, Michael, the Egyptian<br />

Osiris and Salmon the ancestor of Solomon. 82 Salma’s father was Beli the<br />

Willow God and the Lord of Light. His mother was Sal-Ma the Willow<br />

Mother and Moon Goddess. In this context, Jerusalem was an important<br />

shrine to the Son of the God of Light some one thousand four hundred<br />

years before the time of Jesus.<br />

Before Mosaic reinterpretation, Canaanites celebrated the god<br />

Salma or Sal-Ma with an orgiastic fire and water festival in Jerusalem. It<br />

was originally Anatha’s Bacchanal willow tree orgy for rainmaking. 83<br />

<strong>The</strong> celibate Jewish Feast of the Tabernacles preserves this festival.<br />

According to the Talmud, the Pharisees found it difficult to curb the<br />

traditional lightheadedness of the women as they solemnly brought water<br />

from the Pool of Siloam on the climax of the festival, the Day of<br />

Willows. 84<br />

<strong>The</strong> same harvest festival in Athens was the Oschophoris in<br />

which male participants carried fruit laden boughs. <strong>The</strong>y corresponded to<br />

the lulab of the Feast of Tabernacles. 85 Effigies of Ariadne with<br />

detachable limbs dangled from the Athenian boughs. <strong>The</strong>y represented<br />

Ariadne’s suicide in fear of Artemis. In the Mochlos hoard, archeologists<br />

discovered delicate Borealis gold tiaras worn by priestesses who ritually<br />

committed suicide and were dismembered in the same way as Ariadne at<br />

the Oschophoris.<br />

Salma is the original god of this festival. His name is part of<br />

Jerusalem, Uru-Salim, from the Tell Amarna letters of 1370BCE.<br />

Assyrian records of the same period show Jerusalem was Ur-Salimu. All<br />

these names are referring to Salma God of Light.<br />
