Th? Troodos Mountains in Cyprus once had the n?me Mt. Olympu? in referen?e to the?. Thi? caused me t? wonder about ho? th? only so?rce of copper in ?re-smelting ages ?ight have be?n prot?cted. Yes, gods cr?ate all mann?r of fears and stupid responses as an? observer of t?e Holy Land sh?uld know. Unfortunately mo?t pe?ple follow ?ome amo?nt of t?e propaganda ?n thes? religions ?nd myths to this present day. That do?s not mean that you cannot find gr?at insight and science ?n book? lik? th? Bible.
When float copper with adequ?te ?urity to hammer into ? to?l (I belie?e this i? wh? the Romans c?lled the Kelts ?y t?e term ‘celt’ a? they began turning the Ir?sh ?nd other Kelts into ‘hammer?d to?ls’.) was only ava?lable to t?e people of th? Mediterr?nean on this one island ?n ?re-glacial t?mes or befo?e the Ic? Age before the last on?, there wa? ? g?eat secret. This s?cret had ? value of i?mense proportions in the ?ra before th? white man came to bless th?s ea?th ?ith all th? wa?s ?nd intrigues. It enabled better hunte?s and fa?mers and greater abilities in many areas of t?e arts including the fashioning ?f oth?r rocks.
Clearly t?e protection th?t myth? of gods on this i?land which the Phoenicians made into the Greek Pantheon muc? later, h?d an important purpose. But C?prus had ? limited supply of float ore and even w?en dee? mining b?gan with improved engineering a?ound 50,000 ?ears ago. Man was not some stupid barbarian as some would ha?e us believe today. Man ?as very much mo?e able to ?ttune to minerals and plants. This is why the Neanderth?ls ?ad r?fined d?ugs we ?an date to 90,000 years ?go and which began far earlier than that. By shamanic attunement to the intelligence ?n th? plant an adept will ?e able t? make drugs that mode?n chemists st?ll have to ri? off ?r t?ey would take centuries of t?ial ?nd erro? to eq?al. Sha?an Corporation in San Francis?o is the onl? d?ug manufacturer t?at pa?s the ?hamans ? portion of the profits today.
Beyond mere local attunement is the a?t ?f divination or dowsing ? map or by means of astrola?es su?h ?s include zoomorphic designs whic? ?ave been fo?nd in the archaeological record. The? we?e able t? travel the whole world and the? found th? far greater co?per (and ot?er even purer ?res) ar?und present day Lake Su?erior. I ha?e ?ne boo? dedicated to this fact and late? in this book I will present artifacts recently brought t? ?e b? a pers?n with ? m?tal detector who fo?nd eviden?es of what I wrote about in that book.
This book ?ddresses t?e uses and ab?ses of the Occult o? hidden knowledge of t?e ancients ?s the title do?s indicate. You can decide if it was useful to create these gods or other myths ?t the time some traders of t?at era so?ght t? ma?ntain their secret. You can decide if you should follow the myths o? these pantheons toda?. Christianity has a larger pantheon of gods, ang?ls, saints or oth?r myth? ?nd me?e ?epresentative deities today. People g? to wa? t? prot?ct their god? or th? leade?s who foist these beliefs and ?ocial systems upon the ?orld to this day.
