The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

revelry, and mass perverse sexual acts. The god Dionysus, which is Bacchus the god of wine and beer, demanded orgies. Religious orgies included bazaar pagan rites, which were supposed to disintegrate any and all barriers between the worshipper and his or her god by means of the orgiastic activities of the worship. Babylon was one of the nations that annually legalized a twelve-day period where normal civil laws were lifted to permit frenzied orgies that promoted anarchy. 981. Orion—A star constellation mentioned in the Bible that was worshipped by the Egyptians as the spirit of their god of death Osiris. The name means “the burly one.” In ancient times this constellation was thought to be the spirit over the over indulgent, stupid, foolish, and arrogant interchangeably. This constellation was credited with being a prevalent source of Egyptian prophecy. 982. Osiris—Egyptian god of the Nile and the underworld, believed to be responsible for agriculture. He symbolized reincarnation. Worshipped as the judge of the dead, Osiris was well served. Since death was an important celebration for the Egyptians, as they felt their Pharaohs were elevated through it, much attention was given to training them to serve and please Osiris in the afterlife. Part of this training included their obligation to attend his institution of the prophets to be able to bring word back to the land of the living from the god as his posthumous messenger through death. Osiris was venerated as husband of Isis. 983. Owl—A witchcraft spirit, specifically a soothsaying or occultic female. Owls represent divinatory spirits of heresy and false prophetics. Isaiah 34:15 intimates that the owl is tied to the snake in its serpentine effects, that is, its disclosures prophetically speaking, are akin to the mysticism of darkness. Specifically, Isaiah 34:14 reflects this with its statement on the “screech owl” translated from the Hebrew lilith. See Lilith.
