In chapter 4.3 we learned that the year of Rosslyn's dedication as a Collegiate Church of St. Matthew - 1450 - contains the fourth Mavortial Return of a SuperMars that occurred in the year 3 BC. We also learned that 3 BC is the year some scholars have honed in on as containing the birth … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.5 – The Magi and the Star of Bethlehem
Many years ago, when Jeff Nisbet published his thesis on the encoding of the earth's axial tilt of 23.5°, we had vigorously discussed the enigmas of Rosslyn Chapel's ceiling. He had been studying Scotland's ancient mysteries for decades, and I hadn't. But, that never stopped me from throwing ideas at the wall to see what … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4-Supplemental – Celestial Tilt of 23.5° encoded in Rosslyn Chapel’s Ceiling
In chapter 4.3 I put forth the thesis that a SuperMars cycle is encoded in Rosslyn Chapel, through the date of its founding as a "Collegiate Church," dedicated to St. Matthew on his holy day of September 21, 1450, due to 1450 being a year with a very bright Mars, or SuperMars. Furthermore, the chapel's … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.4 – A Dove or a Swan, Plus the Astonishing Star
Photo source unknown. I don't want to go through a large explanation of "what is Rosslyn Chapel," though a brief synopsis of the chapel's history can be found here. It was originally intended to be a private chapel for the wealthy Sinclair, or St. Clair clan, and not open to the public, though surely plenty … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.3 – The Starry Vault and the SuperMars

The enigmatic Rosslyn Chapel in Edinburgh, Scotland, has attracted untold hordes of alternative history sleuths over the years, searching for treasure and the Holy Grail. This small, family chapel from the 15th Century is suspected of holding clues to a wealth of secrets that connect the Knights Templars to secret societies that are collectively known … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.1 – Celestial coding in Rosslyn Chapel
Having established in the first chapter that the Vatican may be observant of a special astronomical alignment that connects stars in Capricorn/Aquarius and Cygnus, it's time to take a closer look at the constellation that zeniths over the northern Mediterranean regions. It is not enough to simply notice that a constellation exists, and what shape … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 2.1 – Swan Diving and Cross-Planting
Thus far, this book has established that Mars's exaltation was marked in the zodiac in ancient times by two fixed stars: Deneb Algedi in Capricorn, and Sadalsuud in Aquarius. Although these stars are in two different constellations, they are "conjunct" in ecliptic latitude, presenting a unique situation in the zodiac where two constellations overlap by … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 2.2 – The 15 Behenian Stars of Alchemy
On October 13 of 2015, the world changed. Well, the world of astronomy, at least. This was the day that the Atlantic magazine published a story entitled “The Most Mysterious Star in Our Galaxy.” The Atlantic broke the news to the general public that a major "citizen scientist" discovery was made concerning a nearby star … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 3.1 – Tabby’s Star
In Emersion's last entry on Shakespeare, the astrological sign Taurus was found at the center of our Oxfordian thesis for the true identity of this obvious pseudonym, "Shak-Speare". This is a continuation of that effort. Subscriber Content The Oxfordian thesis also claims that the 17th Earl of Oxford was the person using the pen name … Continue reading De Vere, Shakespeare, and Taurus – Encoded Within the First Folio?
