Oh, you KNEW this was coming.
So the other night some guy on Twitter was telling me how much my previous Astroworld piece sucked, but at least I didn't try to "desperately" shoehorn the Sibyl into my exegesis. I merely said "the night is still young" in reply.
See, I wasn't even looking for the footprints of the OA (Oracle of the Apocalypse) in this story, but it turns out they were looking for me.
In a way, the evil and insane corporate media may be right that Astroworld wasn't a Satanic ritual. On further examination, it seems to me more like a Nephilim ritual -slash- Watcher ritual. You simply need to plug Our Lady, Queen Dowager of Sibyls into your equations and the sums fall into place.
Happily, it turns out that's already been done for us.
But wait, I hear you asking: how can you connect a wee little Scottish grannie who used to be a semi-obscure New Wave singer with a young, ostensibly-macho Hip Hop superstar?
You'll be shocked how easy that is, but let me just explain how this all came about.
Like I said, I wasn't looking for this at all but I happened upon a 2005 video of Our Lady recording with French composer Yann Tiersen, who doubles as a post-rock guitarist. She sang two songs on his Les Retrouvailles album: one a heart-wrenching lament of a mother for a lost daughter and the other an enigmatic bit of continental pop featuring some prime sibylline multitracked glossolalia.
Who cares, right? Well, no one should, until you hear the name of the film the video there is pulled from...
... La Traversee...
...which is actually the root word of Travis. Note the meaning is to cross, as in cross dimensional gateways.
So, I'm thinking Traversee and a Scot. Huh.
Looks like it's time to get the synchromystic pickaxe out of the toolshed.
A much different arrangement of 'Kala' appeared on Tiersen's live DVD the following year, boasting a big finish that has the Sibyl keening wordlessly while the band hammers away in a style highly reminiscent of Godspeed! You Black Emperor.
But Kala; Kala. There's an interesting word for you. It has several different meanings in Sanskrit, depending on how it's accented.
At Bhagavad Gita 11.32, Krishna takes on the form of kāla, the destroyer, announcing to Arjuna that all the warriors on both sides will be killed, apart from the Pandavas:
This verse means: "Time (kāla) I am, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people." This phrase is famous for being quoted by J. Robert Oppenheimer as he reflected on the Manhattan Project's explosion of the first nuclear bomb in 1945.
A Kala is also the Kronos of Balinese religion, closely linked to Hinduism.
The Kalachakra is connected to the Cosmos-- meaning the world and all of Creation -- as well as the Zodiac.
The Kālacakratantra revolves around the concept of time (kāla) and cycles or wheels (chakra). Regarding the outer or external aspect of conventional reality, the wheel of time refers to the passage of days, month, and years (as well as the cycles of the zodiac) while with regard to the individual or inner aspect, it refers to "the circulation of pranas [vital airs] within the wheel of the nadis [subtle channels] in the body," which is linked with the 12 aspects of dependent origination and the 12 signs of the zodiac.These different cycles are interconnected and correspond to each other.
Because of time (kalat), from the voids (sunyesu), originate wind, fire, water, the earth; the continents, mountains, and oceans; the constellations, the sun, the moon, the host of star-planets, and the sages; gods, bhutas, and nagas; animals that have four types of birthplace; humans and hell beings also, on the manifold earth and below -originate in the middle of void (sunyamadhye), like salt in water, and the egg-born in the middle of an egg.
So Astrology and the World? Got it. And remember the egg connection; we'll be getting to that shortly.
The Gala (Sumerian: 𒍑𒆪 gala, Akkadian: kalû) were priests of the Sumerian goddess Inanna. They made up a significant number of the personnel of both temples and palaces, the central institutions of Mesopotamian city states. These were thought in modern times to have been individuals with neither male nor female gender identities.
Originally specialists in singing lamentations, gala appear in temple records dating back from the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. According to an old Babylonian text, Enki created the gala specifically to sing "heart-soothing laments" for the goddess Inanna.
Hardly anyone has heard of The Millennium Dome Show these days but it was a huge deal, the centerpiece of the UK's y2K festivities. The Royal Family and the rest of those miscreants attended the opening show.
Note the commercial here has fallen stars/pearly dewdrops returned to their place in the Heavens, kind of a reversal of Revelation 12:8-9.
Now, here's the deal: I've heard all the theories and theologies about the Nephilim and Genesis 6:4 and the Book of Enoch and so on and so forth for a very long time.I didn't really pay it all too much mind until I looked into The Millennium Dome Show, an event hardly anyone has heard of and no one seems to actually remember.Then I started paying the Nephilim a lot of mind.(The Millennium Dome Show) was Great Britain's big to-do for the new millennium and went along with the London Eye (or the London OA) and all the rest of that jolly rot. The project was started by John Major's government and then finished by noted war criminal, Tony "Baloney" Blair.So this wasn't just some lark by some theatrical troupe. This all meant something to someone.The production was supervised by the late Mark Fisher - the grand-daddy of the mass public rituals we're all so familiar with these days - and the music was composed by none other than Mr. Globalism himself, Peter "Blofeld" Gabriel. Who, as some of you may remember, rose to fame as the lead singer of Genesis.
Here's some major bullshit for you from the BBC:"The message at the show is that our social and technical experiences of life come in cycles and the millennium marks the moment to be optimistic about the future," said (Mark) Fisher.Dome organisers, the New Millennium Experience Company, added: "Fisher and Gabriel have created a timeless piece of visual story-telling, a contemporary fable."This is the story of a family in transition, each generation struggling with the coming and the passing of their own time."From Gabriel's site:Created by Mark Fisher and Peter Gabriel, OVO - The Millennium Show, was universally acclaimed as the most successful entertainment in the Dome. 160 performers and 60 technicians staged the show three times every day during the year 2000; a total of 999 performances. The show was seen by 6.5 million people.The show sketched a parable of man's relationship with the earth - innocence, corruption and enlightenment - in three spectacular technical and acrobatic tableaux.What was it all about you may ask?The Romeo-and-Juliet-like story told of a feud between the earth-people and the sky-people. A young boy from the sky and a young girl from the earth fell in love, but the feud between their people made it difficult for them to meet.Eventually the earth-people suffered a crushing defeat, which ultimately led them to unite with their sky enemies. At the end of the show, the lovers flew together into a better future.All of which adds up to the Sons of Heaven come to Earth and find the Daughters of Men quite comely. The Earth folk steal the Sky-People's technology or some shit and then a war starts and then Elizabeth Fraser blows up the Tower of Babel. The End.
999 is the UKs equivalent of 911, incidentally.
Then this:The Millennium Show is steeped in the imagery of William Blake's great epic poem, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, and features fire-breathing Mad Max-style contraptions doing battle with with the "earth people" and their huge dragonflies.Yes, quite literally the Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Since as the official comic book of the Millennium Dome Show unambiguously portrays the Sons of Heaven/Sky-People as demons of the air.
Bear in mind all of this was supposed to have something to do with Great Britain-- especially London-- standing at the threshold of the new millennium. And there's the lucky couple with their little Nephilim hybrid, Ovo. Ain't he cute?
Peter Gabriel- formerly of Genesis- described the story as a "creation myth" and that the offspring of the Daughters of Men and the Sons of Heaven are "representative of the future."
Terrific.

CHAPTER XIX. 1. And Uriel said to me: "Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons, (here shall they stand,) till the great judgement in which they shall be judged till they are made an end of.
"And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become sirens."
Now go console one another in the Den of Intrigue.
