esoteric Islam = hellenic teachings

good, it should infiltrate christianity

and we should bring back more pagan symbols

and ceremonies

the star atop the tree to represent the star of bethlehem

just makes no sense

why not

because of the origins of the tree itself

Norse fir and spruce trees with midwinter pagan symbolism->some autism about lights->Christmas tree

why should you have this symbol placed where it is?

the only connection is

there is a star in one place, and a star in another

just like Odin became wants

Santa

whereas the connection for star atop the tree

in a pagan/gnostic sense

is much clearer, sensible

the whole thing is a shitty version of yule just like the whole rest of the west is just a shitty version of Scandinavia

at the peak is illumination

so what

there were solistice celebrations and tree decorations outside of scandinavia

well the start was me linking a pic of an LDS temple in africa

which had this

and then you said it was something

and then we were led to this

yeah

so ultimately, I guess my apprehensions there are perfectly valid

"illumination" this is one of those post-englightenment buzzwords that represent nothing

well i have no problem with that tree except it's ugly with the fake tree

talk less @The Enlightened Shepherd

but they're in africa, so no firs

put a star of ishtar on top

we don't have to be scared of these symbols

as a great philosopher arnold schwarzeneger used to say "I don't do requests" @fallot

I agree, but we should understand what they represent

well you don't

and it is not simply about the symbolism itself

but that there seems to be a hidden hand/hands that employ this symbolism
