Daniel Pinchbeck: 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl
The Aboriginals considered women to be naturally connected to the divine and creative forces in the universe through their fertility and menstrual cycles. Men, on the other hand, had to be consciously – culturally – conditioned in order to achieve full humanity. Men were considered child-like, essentially useless, unitl they completed their initiation. Undergoing a training that could last as long as ten years, men would develop the capacity to access the Dreamtime through a series of dangerous and difficult ordeals. Common initiatory practices included not only solitary fasts and walkabout, but scarification and subcision – the infliction of wounds on the male member, that could be reopened at any time, as a kind of symboli menstruation. Such practices artificially induced men into female status, giving them the sacralizing wound granted to men by nature.
In Aboriginal society, as in other enduring forms of nomadic cultures, women provided the cohering, stabilizing force for the tribe. These societies are known as „hunter-gatherers“, but it would be more accurate to call them „gatherer-hunters“. Traditionally, women were the gatherers, and their foraging satisfied the vast proportion of the tribe's nutritional needs. Aboriginal men often left on long hunting trips and shamanic walkabouts. While the men were absent, the women intensified their bonds with each other, which were necessary for the smooth functioning of the community. In the modern West by comparison, there is little solidarity among women. Women tend to feel they are in competition for the men and their powers of physical attraction, making them possessive, jealous and insecure. It is possible, as Lawlor suggests, that the propensity for gathering has reasserted itself as a cultural obsession with shopping. Similarly, for men, the obsessive focus required for hunting – as well as the energetic hunting of shamanism – has been deformed into workplace competition, fixation on sports statistics and other trivia.
The number 666 is that of Teitan, a solar deity. “It represents an eternal, natural principle, transcending any moral category.” Teitan - Cheitan, in the Chaldean language, was the snake god who brought knowledge to humanity. As mythic polarity gave way to mental duality, this deity was reduced to a baleful influence, given the name Satan in the bible. While the institutional church associated the number with evil, Gnostics within the church “recognized the number for what it was, an essential element in the true cosmis scheme, and in laying out their mystic citadels, they allowed 666, the number of solar power, to occupy its due place in the numberical orded.” According to the Gnostic version of the biblical tale, the serpent in the Garden of Eden was actually an apparition of Christ, bringing knowledge to humans, seeking to liberate them from the wicked demiurge who kept them in ignorance. The “Great Beast” of the Apocalypse, first appearing in Revelation 13, possesses an intricate ambiguity, linking him to these older traditions.
The shattering of the Glastonbury Abbey as “the devil's temple” during the Reformation represented the final destruction, in the West, of the ancient mind-set that understood the necessity of maintaining a proper balance between cosmic forces. For the Puritans, “the beast represented some absolute principle of evil, irreconcilable with the iron rule of humanly created morality. The beast, like the dragon, had to be suppressed. For this reason, as well as many others, Glastonbury could be the logical place for reintegrating Sun, Moon and Earth, establishing a template for a planetary civilization.
