There is a detail that was almost universally missed in the exhilaration which accompanied the recentArtemis II lunar probe. It is Artemis, the very name of the project. The space vehicle in which NASA’s Artemis II mission was accomplished was given an equally intriguing name of similar inspiration,Orion. The choice of names, once attention is drawn to it, is not without significance.
Not because there is no connection between the ancient deity Artemis and the moon, which there is.
Pagan deities generally had a multiplicity of offices, and sometimes even a variety of names. Thus, theGreek goddess Artemis, whose name graces NASA’s latest space mission, in the Roman pantheon was also known as Diana. Known best as the patroness of hunting, in her heyday Artemis was associated as well with fertility, virginity, and childbearing. But in addition to all of the above she was considered also to be the Moon goddess, whilst her twin brother Apollo, who in an earlier period of space exploration (the Apollo Programme) was similarly commemorated, in pagan antiquity was honoured as the Sun god. So on that superficial level naming the recent moon probe after Artemis would seem to make a modicum of sense.
The deeper question, however, is why draw at all on ancient pagan mythology as the source for naming modern scientific space exploration ventures? That interesting question does not come up very much, or at all, because the detachment of the contemporary Western mind from its cultural and spiritual foundations is a project that for several centuries, at least since the Renaissance, has been relentlessly pursued and has by now been successfully completed. For the majority of our poorly educated contemporaries “Artemis” is void of any specific meaning or connotation, just as in the popular mind “Apollo” is mostly associated with distributing messages. He is often represented as nothing more than a visual symbol of the postal service.
Most are unaware however, and would undoubtedly be surprised to learn, that the pagan deity Artemis figures prominently in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament, in chapter 19, where the diminishment of Artemis’ status, as a consequence of Paul’s fruitful missionary sojourn in the ancient metropolis of Ephesus,provoked a great commotionamongst her pagan worshippers.
Anyone with roots still embedded in the soil of what used to be Western Christian Civilisation must be struck by the official preference in the West for naming things after pagan mythological entities. Artemis, Apollo, and Orion are fairly recent examples but many others could be cited. Why would the collective West step outside its historic cultural heritage when naming things? The almost inescapable conclusion is that such a choice of names is deliberate and is ideologically determined. It serves as the outward manifestation of the world view of the hermetic group that is in charge and flaunts the occultic underpinning of their enterprises. The names given to their projects are not just randomly pulled out of a hat. By way of contrast, at the height of cold war rivalry in the 1970s, the Soviet programme of delivering to the surface of the moon a self-propelled vehicle designed to collect samples and gather scientific data was given the impeccably neutral designation ofЛуноход(roughly translated as the Moon Walker), a name that was completely dissociated from any ideological or political connotations.
The in-your-face insistence on therevival of pagan symbolism and imagery, as the prominent American public philosopher Jay Dyer has pointed out, is part and parcel of a larger scheme to reshape the religious sphere so that it can be comfortably integrated into the one-world governance programme pursued by the occult elite that directs the collective West with pretensions of extending its control over the entire planet. Designations for undertakings of great resonance, such as space missions, are carefully selected. Their purpose is to accustom the public mind to non-Christian referents and to ease reversion to symbols that will ultimately become the building blocks of the new bogus “spirituality” that is being constructed as one of the tools of the Western elite’s projected global control system.
Returning to NASA and the spirit which directs it from behind the wholesome facade, we find indications of occult influence from its very inception. Quite illuminating in that regard isan article which appeared in Britain’s mainstream dailyThe Telegraphon 17 February 2017. It is tellingly entitled“Sex, rocket science, and Satanism: meet Nasa’s real hidden figures,”and it frankly reveals some facts that sound incredible but by all accounts may be taken as verifiably real.
The subject ofThe Telegraph’srevelations is one Jack Parsons, not exactly a household name yet a key figure in the development of the technology which made modern rocketry and space exploration possible. Parsons, it is said, has “been written out of Nasa’s history in spite of the considerable contribution [he] made to America’s intergalactic exploration. In fact, Jack Parsons is barely acknowledged on Nasa’s website, and he’s the man who made rockets a reality and co-founded the agency’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), home to missions which paved the way for the Apollo programs and continue to explore Mars and outer space today.”
The interesting thing about this influential but largely unacknowledged figure who was instrumental in laying the technical foundations of NASA is that he was a hard-core occultist and a close associate of British MI6 asset, notorious devil worshipper Aleister Crowley, as well as of the American religious fraudster L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology cult.
