The Trade Routes Affecting Jesus

The Jesus birth story in the Biblical book of Matthew wanted to make sure the reader understood that Jesus was teaching in the magical tradition:

• (Matthew chapter 2, verse 1, NIV) After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

(March 15, 2024) Palmyra (modern Syrian city of Tadmor) used to be an important link in the trading network known as the silk connecting east and west. It became a part of the Roman empire between 0 and 100 CE but it was treated as an autonomous province. A branch of this trade into Egypt was siphoned off from Tyre when Herod the Great built the port town of Caesarea Maritima. This new trade route passed through the new custom's town of Capernaum where Jesus lived. Jesus would have been exposed to the magical practices promoted by the Palmyra temple.

(March 3, 2024, update December 10, 2025). This plaque was found at Palmyra. The letter style of this text is Aegean Island Hellenistic which derives from the Aegean Island tradition. Yet this letter style retains some Aegean Island elements making it slightly older than what appears of the Rosetta Stone which is dated to 200 BCE. Notice the many mentions of Yahu/Yahweh which was the national god of Israel at this time. Su is the dark new moon god associated with astrology-magic.

It is describing the functions of various divine powers. This text says:

1. Nothing is coming from the pasture (astrological night sky).  (That) frustration is being manifested. Su is not causing death. Considerations (focused magical emotions) are causing the openings to be pushed away.
2. Considerations (only) energize the openings. No astrological-powers can re-assign the fresh-waters. The pasture is not affecting the prodding of the Revealer (Yahu/Yahweh)
3. Life-Priests can supervise the fertility-fluids.  Openings are astrologically-powered in order to separate-out-the-unwanted.  That is causing the lack of the Reed-Boat's (Ayu) energy.
4. Nourishments (offerings) can control the life-revelations.  Those are Yahu's (Y') emanations.  Nourishments can overrule emotion-owls.  That is because of nesting.
5. Nourishments can control the life-revelations.  Those are Yahu's (Y') emanations.  Nourishments are the attendants (aids).  Life-manifestations are because of Yahu (Y')
6. Nourishments can control the life-revelation's considerations.  Those are Yahu (Y") emanations. Nourishments are the threads of Alu.  Visibility (of life forms) is because of those divine powers. 
7. Fertility-fluids are controlled by night-noises.  The Reveler is Yahu (Y').  Emanations are crafted by life-priests.  Revelation are opened by eagle-vultures.
8. Shepherds (astrology magic crafters) are making chaotic the eagle-vultures. Fate-curses can be emanated by false evening-powers.  The life-manifestations are frustrated by the pasture.
9. Those nourishments are revealed by Ayu  Nourishments can be opened by astrological-powers. Emanations are channeled by life-priests. The lack is due to (all) divine-powers.
10. Those energize eagle-vultures. Considerations can open emanations.  Nourishments can be energized by Controllers (Su, Selene, Thu). Those are frustrated by the pasture.
11. Emanations can be opened by magic.  (Yet) Magic can cause this nesting.  Emanations are energized by the Controllers. (Yet) That is frustrated by the pasture.
12. Life-Manifestations can be made-visible.  Life-Manifestation's association with budding is due to the shepherds (motion magic crafters).
13. The apparitions from Yahu (E') are opened by magic.  Emanations can be veiled.  Considerations (focused emotional thoughts) can fool the Revealer (Yahu).
14. The nourishments from Ayu can be magically affected by emotion-owls.  Spiritual-forces can reveal emanations. Activity is opened by magic.
15. The Shepherds' motion-powers are involved.  Their magic sets the foundation for Thu.  Open the revelations.

(December 10, 2025) Ancient Druid culture had a unidirectional network for the life class of powers in which divine commands triggering life manifestations flowed down to earth. Ancient Druid culture also had a bidirectional network for the magical motion/emotion powers. "Emotion powers" even had their own word in Druid Akkadian. This word is Awen from the singular Akkadian word A'u and Awu (Ayin tends to slur into /w/ over time).

In order to engage with the bidirectional emotion/emotion power network one must attune to these conscious powers. This is the whole idea of emotional focus (considerations) in rituals. The Druid Akkadian word for this is LG in the runic texts which can be read as Lagu.

Greek Philosopher Heraclitus adopted Lagu into Greek as "Logos" by giving it a Greek word ending. Heraclitus introduced his concept of Logos into Greek cultures within 30 years after the Persians conquered his home city of Ephesus in 522 BCE. At that time he would have been exposed to Persian magi culture which seems to have been essentially Druid.

Roman era Stoics believed that logos was one of the three characteristics of Divine mind along with nous (reasoning as the chaining together of facts) and ettistnun (knowledge of the facts). The dualist but still Stoic author Epictetus (c.50 – c.135 CE) and Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE) write these:​

• (Epictetus Discourses 2.8) God brings benefit but the good also brings benefit. I would seem therefore, that is where the true nature of God is to be found. There too will be that of the good. Then what is the nature of God? Flesh, in no way whatever. Land, in no way. Fame, in no way. He is nous (reasoning), ettistnun (knowledge), and logos. (Hard 2014)​
• (Marcus Aurelius Book 4 of Meditations) Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web

Notice that the stoic philosophy of this era was starting to be permeated with enforced personifications of spiritual powers.

The Bible incorrectly translates logos as “word” or “message.” The author of the Gospel of John uses "word" for Logos below:

• (John 1:1) In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God (Theos), and the Logos was God (Theos). ​

The Apostle Paul also used “logos” in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 Here Christian translators again translate it incorrectly as "message." They deliberately do translation fraud (translating it differently in different places) so they can put their own theological spin on the original text. 

• (1 Corinthians 12:7-11, NIV) 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message (logos) of wisdom, to another a message (logos) of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
