We are baptized that we may typically become fish or Christlike, but complete immersion is indispensable to save our wicked souls. A few drops of water on the forehead do not make a fish. Jesus came out of the stellar pool in the sign of Fishes, and we have seen superstitious and benighted fishes, who have been born again, come up out of the pool beneath the church altar in the Hub of Universal Culture. The basin at the church door or piscina, containing alleged holy water, is but a type of that celestial pool in which the stellar fishes swim, and into which the sun plunged and washed away the sins of the world. The Egyptian Madonna, Isis, is represented as holding in her arms the christ Horus, and on her head is a fish. The Hindus worship the fish-god at the temple of the Golden Dagon near Rangoon, India. The Jews sacrificed the fish-christ at each of the three meals of the Sabbath. “One should eat fish for into them the souls of the righteous are transmigrated.”—Talmud. The Buddhist cross, from which the Christian cross was taken, is called Swastika (fishes) and consists of the two fishes of the zodiac crossed. “Maya or Mary, the Virgin of the skies, at the moment of the birth of her son Buddha on Dec. 25, was just rising above the horizon.” “The sun’s present position is in Aquarius. Our Lord’s advent was in the previous sign of Pisces, but the sign which he declared should precede his next coming was that of Aquarius. ‘When ye see a man bearing a pitcher of water follow ye him.’”—Daughter of the Druids, 101. When the sun entered the sign of Cancer, the sun god, or the son of god came as the Crab or the Good Scarabaeus, the lucky bug of Egypt, and was born in the nebula of the Manger in the sign of Cancer. Still there is no law against believing in the story of the Jew Christ born in the Manger of Bethlehem. Even the Church Fathers claimed that Christ was the Good Scarabaeus. In the Catacombs of Rome is a picture of a supper at which seven persons sit down to eat seven loaves and two small fishes. Some writers have failed to grasp the significance of this picture. They are assembled there to eat their Christ, as we do now at every Communion Service. Christ is the bread of life, born in the astronomical house of Breadcorn. He came seven times in the ancient division of the heavens, and in his eighth avatar he came as the two fishes in the sign of Pisces. Our Christmas is a new name for the old Roman Saturnalia, a festival celebrating the birth of the sun-god Saturn or Moloch at the winter solstice, at which time they feasted, exchanged presents, got drunk and played craps. The Christians, in celebrating the 25th of December, admit that their Christ is a sun-god.—See “Saturn,” Ency. Brit. CHAPTER II. The Queen of Heaven.
