THE ODYSSEY<br />

(iii) The Odyssey. Circe and Penelope<br />

After Troy fell Odysseus pillaged the city of Ismarus but spared Maron, the priest of<br />

Apollo. In return he was given twelve jars of wine. (These represent the twelve perfected<br />

spiritual qualities of the signs of the zodiac.) Journeying to Sicily he and twelve<br />

companions entered the cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus, a giant with one eye. Odysseus<br />

made him drunk on the wine, blinded him and then escaped from the cave.<br />

(The early Lemurian giants had one eye in the centre of their forehead which atrophied as<br />

they descended to the physical plane over millions of years. The vestige of this eye is seer<br />

in the tuatara lizard of New Zealand. The spiritual eye of man is the ajna chakram in the<br />

forehead.)<br />

Reaching the island of Aeaea ruled by Circe, the sailors were changed into swine.<br />

Hermes advised Odysseus how to break the spell. He fell in love with Circe and spent<br />

one year with her. (The Circe or Circle of the zodiac.) On Thrinacia his crew killed the<br />

white oxen (Taurus) of the Sun and were drowned. This relates to the descent (drowning<br />

in the sea of manifestation) through Taurus of the Monad<br />

Odysseus was saved after nine days on the ocean. (The descent through the planes of<br />

manifestation.) Odysseus reached Ithaca (the physical body) and freed Penelope (the<br />

Soul) from her suitors (the lower desires). He was then "killed" by his son (the Christ<br />

child) Telegonus born of Circe. (The Soul energies were transferred to the Higher Self.)<br />

Oedipus and the Seven Against Thebes<br />

King Laius of Thebes was warned by an oracle that his son would kill him. When<br />

Oedipus was born he was left on a mountain (the mount of Aries) and had his ankles<br />

pierced. The name Oedipus means "Swell-foot". The boy was found and reared by<br />

Polybus. Later Oedipus killed Laius for slaying one of his horses on a narrow path. (The<br />

piercing of the ankles means the maiming of the heel and refers to the lame smith or<br />

Demiurge. The heel sign of Scorpio is ruled by Mars, who also rules the Mount of Aries.<br />
