Miss Universe eclipse ritual continued...

The winner of this year' Miss Universe is R'Bonney Gabriel from Texas.  If her costume references the moon, so does her surname. Kabbalah associates Gabriel with the sepirot Yesod.  Donna Woodwell writes:

'As Michael (Sun) sits at the right hand of God, Gabriel (Moon) sits on the left. The Kabbalah associated Gabriel with the sephirot Yesod, which was also associated with the Moon.

An angel of deep compassion, Gabriel is an angel of revelation, communication, good tidings, new beginnings, motherhood and childbirth. Requests to Gabriel for aid are most appropriate on Mondays, the Moon's day.'

Note the connection with motherhood and childbirth and the nine month gap between the pageant and the eclipse. Both incidentally, take place on a Saturday rather than a Monday, Cassiel or Saturn's day.   

Given that this beauty competition is closely synced to the eclipse, the roots of the term pageant are worth examining:

pageant (n.)

late 14c., pagent, "a play in a cycle of mystery plays," from Medieval Latin pagina, a word of uncertain origin, perhaps from Latin pagina "page of a book" (see page (n.1)) on notion of "manuscript" of a play.

Are some of these events are fulfilling the same purpose as the mystery plays of old?  Wikipedia's entry on Theurgy quotes Edmonds and Radcliffe:

'Theurgy (/ˈθɜːri/; from Greek θεουργία theourgía), also known as divine magic, is one of two major branches of the magical arts,[1] the other being practical magic or thaumaturgy.[2][3] Theurgy describes the ritual practices associated with the invocation or evocation of the presence of one or more deities (also called "godforms"), especially with the goal of achieving henosis (uniting with the divine) and perfecting oneself.[4

Identifying oneself with a spirit or other entity would fall under invocation.  It's perhaps of interest given the Moon references within the Miss Universe competition that one of the more well known examples of a ritual invocation is the Drawing of the Moon. Margot Adler quoted from that same Wiki article writes:

'...in this ritual, one of the most serious and beautiful in the modern Craft, the priest invokes into the priestess (or, depending on your point of view, she evokes from within herself) the Goddess or Triple Goddess, symbolized by the phases of the moon. She is known by a thousand names, and among them were those I had used as a child. In some Craft rituals the priestess goes into a trance and speaks; in other traditions the ritual is a more formal dramatic dialogue, often of intense beauty, in which, again, the priestess speaks, taking the role of the Goddess. In both instances, the priestess functions as the Goddess incarnate, within the circle.'

Unfortunately there's no source cited for this entry:

'In modern traditions, some solitary Wiccans also perform the ritual, usually within a circle and performed under the light of a full Moon. The solitary will stand in the Goddess Pose (both arms held high, palms up, body and arms forming a 'Y') and recite a charge, or chant.['



There's a rich world of symbolism to explore within the ancient cultures. Our modern connected camera phone strewn world creates ample material to trawl for connections. Are the links between Moon symbolism, the eclipse and this pageant simply an example of our desire to find connections where there are none, or is there magick at work under the guise of a beauty competition?

  1. Netflix's Barbecue Showdown has had two seasons so far.

    In both seasons, the contestants representing the Sun, Moon, and Mars made it to the final episode, and Mars won the contest.

    What has a gestation period of 77 years?

    My guess is that the event this was presaging already came and went 7 days before the eclipse.

    The Miss Universe pageant has also been accused of having been rigged.

  2. The mermaid costume of Brazil could be a representation of an "abomination" since they're chimeric.

  3. 2023 is 7 years after the election year of 2016, when Don and Hil were symbolically wed in the public consciousness. She has been rumored to be Babalon, and he's a representation of Chaos, Babalon's husband.

    Her "child" or pet project seemed to have been a war with Iran. It's not hard to see how that could come out of current events.

    1. "Ironically," the attack has been said by some to have been a response to the Abraham Accords. Which would make it Don's baby as much as Hil's.

      Just like the flubbed Afghanistan withdrawal was initiated by Don. Isn't it "funny" when so many "mistakes" all point in the same direction over time?

    2. 'The Babalon Working was a series of magic ceremonies or rituals performed from January to March 1946 by author, pioneer rocket-fuel scientist and occultist Jack Parsons and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.[16] This ritual was essentially designed to manifest an individual incarnation of Babalon. The project was based on the ideas of Aleister Crowley, and his description of a similar project in his 1917 novel Moonchild.[17]'

    3. Also, Babalon is: BABALON, as the Great Mother, represents MATTER, a word which is derived from the Latin word for Mother. She is the physical mother of each of us, the one who provided us with material flesh to clothe our naked spirits; She is the Archetypal Mother, the Great Yoni, the Womb of all that lives through the flowing of Blood; She is the Great Sea, the Divine Blood itself which cloaks the World and which courses through our veins; and She is Mother Earth, the Womb of All Life that we know.[

      Barbie is a material girl. At the end of the movie she has somehow become fertilised and ready to bear life.
