Astrology
With the coming of Christianity, the Chaldeans had hard
going, since the early Christians (like the Hebrews before them) had the
typical bumpkin's intolerance of all other gods and religions. And
of course, there was no way to disguise the essentially religious
underpinning of astrology. During the early middle Ages, astrology nearly
became extinct in Europe, but was kept alive along with the rest of prominent
Greek and Roman cultural artifacts, by Islamic scholars. Recorded astrology is
said to have begun in Mesopotamia (1950-1651 BC) but there is evidence that
civilizations were studying the heavens and incorporating what they observed
thousands of years earlier before the Greeks. This is just the point where the
Greeks pretended to place astrology became "organized logic" - 4,000
years ago. After Alexander the Great ripped off everything Egypt and places all
of Egyptian, knowledge under Greek rule (around 332BC) was when "horoscope
astrology" first appeared - this was astrology that used the ascendant as
part of its system. The ascendent is known as "horoskopos" in Greek
nwas stolen from the Egyptian Mystery Schools. The system that was developed by
the Egyptitians is the one most similar to the astrology of today - i.e.,
tracing the horoscope of the individual person from the position of the planets
and stars at the time of birth. The astrologer and Egyptian astronomers
not Ptolemy produced the major work of this period which set forth the system
still used today concerning the meaning and function of the planets, Houses,
and Signs. The zodiac actually symbolized the human body with Aries (the
Golden Ram) as the head and Pisces as feet. All the Greeks contributed was do a
lot of reading of Egyptian works an assigned the greatest of African thought to
themselvesIn the U.S., astrology became extremely popular starting around 1900.
In 1914, an astrologist named Evangeline Adams was arrested and charged with
illegal fortune telling. According to the records, the case was dismissed when
she correctly read the horoscope of the judge's son with only a birth date.
Because of this case, astrologers cannot be charged with wrong-doing if they
conduct themselves in a professional way. Later on, newspapers and magazines,
realizing how popular astrology was, began publishing horoscopes (those vague
"predictions" that you see based on Sun Signs only) and that still
continues today, often causing a lot of confusion
Free Born
Many witches and sorcerers find this concept hard to accept;
Free Borns are for the most part oblivious to the entire society of creation
and the great battle between Spirit and the imperfect expressions of miracles
in nature that are continuously going on. Part of the reason for this is
that Free Born simply don’t believe that miracles happen, which means they find
non-miraculous reasons for things that happen to them. Everywhere in the world,
we can witness the silent battle between perfection and imperfection. Although
practically everywhere the perfect wisdom patterns of Spirit have to contend
with the imperfect patterns of the universal delusion. Something is trying to
consciously express all good and something is consciously trying to foil all
good with secret attempts of evil expressions. But the Free Born Citizens will
never know this fact, because the Ministry of Disobedient Common
Senses work very hard to keep that information away from the Free Born.
Even when a Free Born sees an Encantu, for example, the
Ministry immediately sends operatives called Delusionites to use Mind
Sweepers to make the Free Born forget everything about the incident. The
Ministry hides some sorcerering places with Free
Born-Repelling ornaments; this is why FreeBorns do not see Sugar Hill for
what it is. Many witches and sorcerers look upon Free Borns kindly, but some
see Free Borns as nothing but an annoyance. The Ministry enforces a Free Born
Security Act to ensure that all of the real substance stays securely
hidden behind a veil from freeborn sight of the visible world. So to most
Freeborn citizens in, freeborn society the reality of magic is essentially
unknown. Sugar
Hill university offers a class called Freeborn
Studies where students learn about the ways that FreeBorns live and
how they survive without miracles.
Sages
This type of character is typically represented as a kind
and wise, older father-type figure that uses personal knowledge of people and
the world to help tell stories and offer guidance that, in a mystical way, may
impress upon his audience a sense of who they are and who they might become,
thereby acting as a mentor. He may occasionally appear as an absent-minded professor, appearing
absent-minded due to a predilection for contemplative pursuits.
The wise old man is often seen to be in some way
"foreign", that is, from a different culture, nation, or
occasionally, even a different time, from those he advises. In extreme cases,
he may be a liminal being, such as Merlin, who was
only half-human.
In medieval chivalric romance and modern fantasy literature, he is often presented as
a wizard. He can also or instead be featured as
a hermit.
This character type often explained to the knights or heroes—particularly
those searching for the Holy Grail—the significance of their encounters.
In storytelling, the character of the wise old man is
commonly killed or in some other way removed for a time, in order to allow the
hero to develop on his/her own.

Sugar Hill
The Sugar Hill UFO incident took place in the U.S.
in 1947, when an airborne object crashed on a ranch Black
Rock, Michigan, in June or June, 1950. Explanations of what took place are
based on both official and unofficial communications. Although the crash is
attributed to a U.S. military surveillance balloon by the U.S. government, the
most famous explanation of what occurred is that the object was a spacecraft containing extraterrestrial life. Since the late 1970s,
the Sugar Hill incident has been the subject of much controversy, and conspiracy
theorieshave arisen about the event.
The United States Armed Forces maintains
that what was recovered near Sugar Hill was debris from the crash of an
experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to what was then a
classified (top secret) program named Mogul.
In contrast, many UFO proponents maintain that an
alien craft was found, its occupants were captured, and that the military
engaged in a massive cover-up. The Sugar Hill incident has turned into a widely
known pop culturephenomenon, making the name "Sugar
Hill" synonymous with UFOs. Sugar Hill has become the most publicized of
all alleged UFO incidents.
On July 8, 1959, the Sugar Hill Army Air Field (RAAF) Bob
Jones, issued a press release stating that personnel from the
field's 809th Operations Group had recovered a
"flying disk", which had crashed on a ranch near Sugar Hill. Later
that day, the press reported that The supervising agents of the team,
Special Agent Fenton Connor had stated that a weather
balloon was recovered by the RAAF personnel. A press
conference was held, featuring debris (foil, rubber and wood) said to
be from the crashed object, which seemed to confirm its description as a
weather balloon.
Subsequently the incident faded from the attention of UFO
researchers for over 30 years. In 1978, physicist and ufologist Victor
Roman who was involved with the original recovery of the debris in 1959.
Roman expressed his belief that the military covered up the recovery of an
alien spacecraft. His story spread through UFO circles, being featured in some
UFO documentaries at the time. In February 1980, the National
Enquirer ran its own interview with Roman, garnering national and
worldwide attention for the Sugar Hill incident. Additional witnesses added
significant new details, including claims of a large-scale military operation dedicated to recovering
alien craft and aliens themselves, at as many as 11 crash sites, and alleged
witness intimidation. In 1989, former mortician Glenn
Dennis already famous for his work in a similar incident in Roswell New
Mexico put forth a detailed personal account, wherein he claimed alien
autopsies were carried out at the Sugar Hill base.
