    Default Something Interesting



    Quote "The modern English word 'Angel' is derived from it's immediate Latin root 'angelus' via the Greek translation 'angelos' ('a messenger'). Variations of an angel include the Anglo-Saxon designation 'engel' from the Old french word 'angele'. 'Angelus' (a messenger) records the Latin transitive verb 'aggero' ('to bring forward, utter or convey'; comparable to the Japanese verb 'ageru ('to give') and is closely matched with 'agere' ('to actor do') with the appended meaning ('to chase or hunt').

    Hellenistic scholars known as the Sepuagint (70), responsible for the Greek translation of the Old Testament ( 3rd-2nd century BC), interpreted the Hebrew name 'mal'akh' (an angel as an emissary), taken from the Semitic stem 'amar' (to speak or command). The angel is noted as diplomatic representative.

    A degree or rank of angel is listed as an 'archangel', conceptualised as an 'embassador'. The Latin prefix 'arch' derives from the Greek stem 'arkh' (a chief), rendered formally as 'arkhos' (a ruler), deductive of 'arkho' (to rule). 'Arkhos' is cognate with the German title 'haco' (a high kin) - a permutation on the Greek honour 'archon' (a supreme ruler). 'Haco','arkhos' and 'archon' recpitulates the Arabic dignitary 'hakim' (a ruler, governor or sovereign) from 'hakam' (to reign). 'Hakim's titular determines the Syrian root 'haka' (to speak, talk or tell).

    Contextually the 'talker' describes a 'messenger or type of angel', mutual to 'hakim' (sovereign) - an appellation equated with the 'snake'.

    'Hakim' and it's Greek appropriation 'arkhos' is preserved in the Old English noun 'hack' (a serpent), differentiated from the Babylonian noun 'acan' (a flaming seraph). 'Acan' is consistent with the Old Egyptian stem 'akh' (to shine) and 'arq' (to twist). In the Greek mysteries, 'arq' is inimical to 'akhos' (pain or distress), additional to 'agkho' (to throttle) - actions accorded to 'arkhos' (a ruler).

    The signatory 'arkhos' (Arabic hakim) originates from the Sanskrit lexicon. Enumerated as 'arga' (a lord), the title parallels the related verb 'akishi' (to rule). Honorific 'arga' conforms to the Hindu noun 'arka' (sun), correlated in Persian with the noun 'ankh' (eye). Through-out Indo European languages, the monarch is represented with the motif of the circle and eyes symbols or the reptile or dragon. In Greek, the assignment of 'arga' (lord) in analogous to 'ago' the suffix (to lead), figurative of the adjective 'hagios' (holy), iconic of 'halos' (a disk). The 'halo' Greek 'halos' is a homonym of (salt), Hebrew 'melakh', referential to 'mal'akh' (an angel). Universally combined with the 'deity' the 'halo' is associated with the 'serpent' and the 'light'.

    To summarize, the prefix 'arch' (a chief) represents a 'circle', demonstrated in Latin as 'archus' (a type of arch or curve), assigned to 'arkos' (a ruler). The auxillary prefix 'arch' (Greek arkh) is obtained from the Egyptian stem 'arq' (to wriggle or bind around) and 'akh' (to shine), corresponding with the Babylonian titular 'acan' (a burning seraph).

    Esoterically 'akh' is employed in Arabic as the noun 'akh' (brother), despcriptive of the 'enlightened' or 'illuminated', lateral to 'acan' (a shining serpert). The verbal stem 'akh' in Modern Arabic is addendum to the idiom 'haqq' (truth) - a term constant with 'luminary', the 'hakim', indexed as (a ruler). 'Akh' is further utilised in Hebrew as the suffix 'mal'akh' (an angel), denoting a (shining king).

    Delegation of 'mal'akh' bequeaths the Persian title 'mal' (a leader or king), opposite 'mar' (a snake). Relationship between the 'monarch and snake' is also evident in Classical Greek. The Hellenistic adjective 'basiliskos' (a serpent). Appointment of the regal, 'basileus' is equivalent in Arabic to 'hakim' (a ruler), taken from theBabylonian root 'acan' (a snake or uraeus).

    Recorded within the Greek and Arabic traditions, the angels are represented as serpentin in appearance - a feature evident in the Latin language. For example, the Roman word 'angelos' (angel) is consistent with the Latin etymology 'anguis' (snake) and informs the English adjective 'angry', suggesting a correlation in sacrificial atonement. Relationships between the 'snake and monarch' is evident also in the Indo-European languages.

    Taliban and the Theban priesthood

    ‘Ta’ban’ Arabic (a snake) pertains to the verb ‘taba’ (to print) or ‘tab’ (edition) equivalent in the Hebrew to ‘sefer’ (a book) and ‘seraph’ (a snake). ‘Tab’s stem conveys ‘tabi’ (a follower) and ‘tab’a’ (a partisan). Etymologically the ‘snake’ is closely related to ‘talib or taliba’ (a student), cognizant originally with ‘Thebes’ - the old capital of Egypt, a religious place of study. Sacred knowledge of Thebes defines the oral tradition, committed into Hebrew writing as the ‘Talmud’ (instruction) from the compound ‘tillel’ (to cover) and ‘le’lamad’ (to-teach). The ‘student or learner’ is rendered in Hebrew as (the talmid), suggesting ‘veiled instruction’ symbolized as a pillar. In Rabbinic and Masonic tradition ‘amud’ (a pillar) is cryptic of ‘le’lamad’ (to-teach) English know-ledge. Traditionally the planes of the pyramid indicate levels of initiation correlated with the holy city of Thebes.

    A center of knowledge its priesthood guards the Royal court of the dragon a bloodline originating from the snake a fallen angel. Symbolism of the emissary is represented with the solar motif, the ‘cobra’ (Arabic tea’ban) nominal of the ‘Theban’. The ‘snake’ (ta’ban) designates ‘initiatory knowledge’ (taliban), relative, to the ‘Theban priesthood’ and its ‘scriptural tradition’ (the Talmud - Instruction). ‘Theban’ denoting ‘ta’ban’ (a snake) is written in Latin as the homophone ‘anguigena’ (a Theban, literally the serpent race). Esoterically its priesthood is aligned to the star system ‘Alpha Draconis’ Arabic ‘Thuban’ and parallels the north shaft of the pyramid adjacent to the North Star. The Egyptians venerated at least four main stars clusters each specified with openings in the pyramid and are listed as followed:

    1) Al Kalb (Alpha Canis Major / Sirius)
    2) Pleiades?
    3) Al Nitak (Zeta Orionis)
    4) Thuban (Alpha Draconis)

    I've long believed "angels" are probably not spiritual beings as the church teaches, but a reptilian species...with multidimensional capabilities of travel or being....and with their "wings"--if literal and not figurative, birds are closely related to reptiles. Just saying....

    I thought a while back when I saw an interview with him that I wanted his book, now you've posted that I want it even more. I don't agree with all his conclusions but I love his analysis of language.

    I bought it.. It's definitely worth a few readings for the etymological investigations alone.
