  1. Orion has nothing to do with shamanism because during Orion’s time eras, they were newly “building” the great Patriarch (sun cult) and destroying the goddess culture. Shamanism was before the goddess and pagan cultures which they destroyed even to be able to build men’s great kingdoms, pyramids and societies. Shaman and the previous Dream cultures are the Great Moon Cultures of the Grandmothers when she ruled.

    • Perhaps you could explain what you mean by “Orion’s time era” I’m left guessing that you’re referring to this sentence: “Ancient cave paintings at Lascaux appear to have represented Orion as the Shaman. The chief commonality is the theme of a man of power. Yet he signifies no zodiacal sign.” Your statement that “Shamanism was before the goddess and pagan cultures” and was in fact destroyed by them is simply not true. In fact, there are still authentic shamanic cultures in many parts of the world.

      • Orion is a “fixed star”… in astrology there are planets in astrology and there are fixed stars in astrology, the Babylonians and Southern Hemisphere astrologers mostly used fixed stars, so too the early Greeks.

        What I meant by Orion’s time era, is that men were scribes not women, so anything written about Orion were from mens’ perspective (eras).

        I am not speaking of the 2% of shamanism left on earth, I am talking pure shamanic eras before pagans and pagans before the patriarch (1000 bce until 2012 ce).

      • First of all, Orion isn’t a fixed star it’s a constellation. The main thrust of the article is to show the different ways in which this constellation was seen and interpreted. The Indian sages long preceded the dates you offer and there is no evidence that they were all men, but I also go back to the Paleolithic cultures. Other than the aboriginal cultures of Australasia, all other cultures we have mentioned are in the Northern Hemisphere. I don’t agree that all scribes and scholars were men. Celtic culture, for example, was highly egalitarian. Women could be priests, warriors, Druids, and historians of the tribes. Some of The aboriginal people of the Americas were also highly adept.
