Video Description
The episode visits Nonnus, the crypto pagan who wrote the longest Greek epic, the Dionysiaca, at the moment Rome gave way to Christian rule. Ammon Hillman reports that Nonnus worked in hiding, full of cult words, drug references, and esoteric terms. The epic opens with an imprecation to the muse, and its first subject is what Hillman calls the heart of the cult of Dionysus: the mogostokia, the pain of giving birth. Watching over that doorway is Maia (Μαῖα), the midwife goddess whose very name means her craft.
Hillman then reads the birth of Dionysus through the music of the Greek. Zeus, Semele, and the lightning are not a moral story; they are a technical description. The lightning, sterope (στεροπή), shares the root of oistros, the frenzy. When Semele is consumed, Nonnus says there was no Maia present. The mother needed the midwife’s art. Zeus, in Hillman’s reading, takes the moisture of the child, sews it into his own thigh, and gives birth himself, becoming both father and mother.
The lesson comes around to Athena. She is the ospora (ἄσπορος), the seedless one, and the astrape (ἀστραπή) bearer, borne out of the head of Zeus. Hillman ties her to the caduceus, the two-serpent rod he reads as the sign of the college of midwives. The goddess Maia, he says, chooses to live on earth in a cave, alone among the gods. His closing claim is reported, not endorsed: the Christians removed Maia, the midwife, from the mystery, and the world has been hunting for her ever since.

Take me to that happy hour I never had.
Show me the girl I never met.
I want it so bad.
Where is that golden palace?
Is that whore called destiny?
I think she ran on without me.
Thank you for coming back to Lady Babylon.
Tonight we have a great, great topic to cover.
We’re going to be looking at Maya, the midwife, and our goal is to bring her into the present.
That’s right, to reach from the past, from the future, and bring the mogostokia to life.
Beautiful stuff.
I’ve got a video for you tonight about our topic that’s just laced with the most beautiful subliminal messaging.
My compliments tonight to Chewy.
What I’d like to do is I’d like to just jump into a ship here and get, you know, let’s just get things going.
There’s no reason to mess around tonight.
Let’s go right back.
I want to take you right back to a guy named Nonas, and I want to pull his ghost out of the grave.
And just so you can put him somewhere in history, we’re talking about the transition between Roman rule and Christian rule.
And there is a big difference. We are living now, we land our ship and we get out of it and we realize, oh, we are living now at that crossover when people are afraid to publish because the Christian authorities will not only burn their work, but will burn them.
so we are dealing with a phenomenon called crypto pagans and that’s what i want to do is i want to
take you tonight to see a crypto pagan his name is nonas and he is able to publish the longest
epic in greek the longest the longest by far and that epic is about dionysus epic about dionysus
And to start that epic off, we have to start at the heart of the cult of Dionysus.
And that heart, that inner sanctuary, is the mogostokia.
That is, what is that?
That is the pain of birth.
That is the pain that one feels while giving birth.
There’s a special word for it.
the birth pang is usually how it’s translated it’s never pleasant never pleasant always painful it’s
a portal a doorway and this maya watches over that doorway she brings the living from that dark death
so just to explain to all the christians that we have invited to come in and please continue
inviting, particularly evangelicals, because there is a need right now for evangelicals to see the
work that we are doing. And for those of you who have come tonight, I want to say we’re tracking
Jesus. We’re following Jesus. Last week, we looked at him in the apocalypse, and we found out
we found out that his face glowed as Helios. We saw that gown he was wearing. We saw the wig,
the white wig, and we understood he is the Christos. Yes. Now we’re going to look at
the reason. We’re tracking that naked boy that was with Jesus when he was arrested.
We want to ultimately solve that issue historically and put it to bed so that people 2,000 years ago can, excuse me, 2,000 years from now can be able to say, hey, look at these people looking at the reality, right?
That’s all we ask.
Just look at the reason.
So tonight we’re going to track him through Maya.
And in order to do that, we’re going to track this naked boy through Maya.
Yes, you’re going to see him there.
You’re going to see the cult. And for those of you who have ears to hear, you will see the portrait
of the Christ that you have never seen before. This is the heart of the lightning. This is that
Bacchic lightning. Can we play the video, please?
lost inside a dream within a dream we try to find the reason why we’re living oh why which when
where for why which when where who what for please go with me now to nonus and let’s start
with the greek text and i just want to give you just a glimpse if we can just get just a glance
glimpse i had a student that i’m working with this week asked me if we could start reading
and i said yes and he said can we do uh nonus can we read nonus and i i laughed because um
nonus is using esoteric terminology he’s using cult terminology he’s using a lot of drugs
they’re drug references i mean you can’t throw a rock in this book without hitting
a drug reference somewhere um and good stuff too the arrows we go arrow poisons we got we’ve got
women we’ve got women who are mean ads wearing armor carrying weapons shooting bows smashing
heads armored women this is not the antiquity of cambridge this is not the falsehood the fairy
tale that you’ve been been fed this is a place where great people like corinna i forgot to tell
you guys about corinna corinna was the one who got into the lyric poetry competition with a very
famous person this very famous person pindar was um beaten squarely by her in the competition and
she came up to him afterwards and let him know yeah you’ve been bested right she was doing a
little bit of a little bit of you know stepping out showing him because his mouth was big and
all he could say to her was that you’re ugly yeah quite a moment in history um athenian women women
in antiquity women all over did not stay in their homes and silent this was not the 50s mary beard
this is gorgeous stuff tonight we’re gonna look just let’s look look at the text now this is
known us. This is known us. Let’s read it together, shall we? Look at that. We start out right away
as an imprecation. It’s an imprecation to the muse. And you say, oh, they’re doing this in
antiquity. They’re doing it all the time, right? They invented it back with Homer. Yeah, right.
Realize where you are. You are in a place where you are worshiping the muse. Yes, you’re in a
place where you’re worshiping the news. Silence, silence, holy silence. Yes, somebody was writing
to me about dragon tongue, tracking down dragon tongue. The secret about dragon tongue is that
it is spoken in silence. Yes, figure that one out. Perhaps whoever cracks that will be able to track
down the naked boy that Jesus was arrested with. Then we’ll all have a Merry Christmas.
aethopos auges. That’s our first dactylic line. That’s a dactylic hexameter. Yeah. And so we’re
hearkening back. You notice that when we’re reading the hymns, when we’re reading the hymns,
we are in a specific ritual meter. Yes. The Romans came up against this dactylic hexameter
and their response was saturnian verse yeah the very golden age these these meters are coming
alive and bringing this incredible incredible wisdom to humanity um through the muse you only
get there through the muse what is he saying here chronida oh the actor on what is it the actor
him he’s saying tell me muse he’s saying speak to me of what speak to me of the messenger of the son
of cronos the messenger of the son of cronos who is he he’s the diactor on the conveyor of the
is that sunlight it’s that sunlight that hits the face that you can feel that communion
with that entity that’s sunlight yes um it is a burning it is a burning yeah itho to to spark
to life to burn yes good so we have the descendants of the sun in front of us right we have those with
that bright heliac face the face of helios yeah remember there’s only a couple of people that are
put in those um that we use those terms with in antiquity right one of them is jesus one of them
is the family of ETs, the members of the family of ETs. They emanate this from their ops. Here,
notice follows that. And we get aethopos, that burning that comes from the ops. You’re going to
notice, notice how many of these facial expressions we have. Yes. Tell me muse of the
moga stock on asthma the asthma that brief inhalation that brief brief exchange with the
atmosphere around you that causes um this particular to a woman’s birthing process
a woman’s birthing process okay um fantastic yes and um what is the what is the source of this this
asthma it is brought to you by the nymphidios spin fairy spin theory is a spin there is a spark
boom and what is a nymphic spark what is the spark of the the nymphic experience yeah okay we’re
getting again we gotta we just got out of the ship give yourself a minute to accumulate you know
accommodate to the changes and the pressure yes good good good good good and what is this breath
it’s the breath of the kerala that’s a thunderbolt that’s that booming thing that causes you to fear
that causes you to crouch when you hear it whether you’re a dog or a person or a or a snake yes it
doesn’t matter it causes it has that instinctive fear of sudden fear that’s sonic boom they love
that on the third line caistero pensimeles what else are we calling upon we’re calling on that
thalamopolon what is that that that that’s the that’s the one who directs within the inner
chamber, specifically the inner chamber of women. Do we have this one? I want people to see this
one because there is, there we go, chamber. Thank you. Yes. Take a look at this in the definitions
here, right? Watch the word, enjoy the Greek and absorb the power here, right? Just an inner room
or chamber, right? Generally the women’s apartment in a part of the house. Yes. Wow. Wow. Bedroom,
right? Right. Store room. Oh, it’s the place where the valuables are kept. Look at number,
Roman numeral number four on the bottom, used of certain mystic shrines and chapels, right?
Sacred to office, the innermost, the innermost chamber. That’s where we are. We’re in that
innermost chamber and we have the pole there what is the pole doing the pole is the is a zone think
of it as a zone the axis right this is the one ordering and determining the track that will all
go down um translated these are servants of the queen serve who serve within her chamber her
inner chamber. Medea had 12 of these. They were her drug procurers and pharmacologists. Yes,
Scythians, very active women with skill in the bow, in the arrow, and the use of toxins,
particularly the toxins like the oysters that are used in the child birthing process.
okay we’ve we’ve seen christ is linguistically connected with the um insanity produced by the
sting of the oyster that’s how we all get in oyster mania and how we’re sibyls right we’ve
all seen that um here it is again look at the very word on line three for that lightning
steropane steropane sterops look at that you’ve got an ops there and you’ve got the str root
right that lightning is just a linguistic cousin of the oysterus yeah the lightning bathed in
oysterus comes the child into the world this is gorgeous now remember we’re surrounded by midwives
let’s see let’s see a couple of them yeah um line three at the end
yeah tell me about the the the nurturing the nature of vacation the becoming the nature the
incarnation the incarnation tell me about this did you know they had incarnation before
Or, oh, yeah, no, when Jesus is casting out demons, right?
He’s doing it based upon a long tradition.
You guys know that.
I don’t need to tell you that.
Let’s make sure we’re making good time here.
I don’t want to waste the folks’ time.
Look at, so, yeah, tell me about that twice-born Bacchus.
That twice-born Bacchus.
Wait, you’ve got to be born again?
Yes, you’ve got being born again.
It’s old, right?
Very old concept.
It’s an old mystery concept.
fantastic long time long time before the first century when jesus is around right so this is
already set up in culture and what happens zeus raises this breathless this kid out of the burning
flame right he’s a hooker he takes this lump of moisture that is within simile because that’s
the name of the queen whose bed shame we happen to be in yeah we’re golly all right somebody asked
me this week about, is there a necessity to cut off the testicles? If we’re going to serve in the
queen’s chamber, we have to cut off our testicles. Yeah. Think about that for a minute. Just think
it. Take yourself back to Sidon. Take yourself back to that temple that Lucian writes about,
that the Sidonians, where they worshiped Astarte. Think about her. The Greeks said,
that’s our hair up by the way yeah yeah but think about her and the power her worshipers
the worshipers of the great mother castrate themselves yes if your eye offends cast it out
yes beautiful the music was great by the way um and what happens so zeus takes him and sews him
up, right? Because Simile is birthing via the lightning, via the lightning. And the first time
we see in line five, when Zeus intervenes and he removes the moisture from Simile and exposes her
to that lightning to that fire that great sun fire she is consumed she is consumed and
what this process lacks is the maya there is no maya and nona says that right this artificial
practice that maintains the power of the jove or the jehovah i don’t care if you say yova or if you
say yehovah i don’t care and then everybody says shh don’t say it it’s the same god the father
and he keeps screwing up he keeps screwing up he’s the oldest liar yes check the bible
people my evangelicals who have shown up today graciously ask yourself why it is that god is
the first liar yeah we’re talking here about the family of the flip side of the flip pole we’re
talking about the morning stars we’re talking about the morning stars okay keep reading we’ll
go in there we’ll get there so line five that’s where we are without the maya by the way ladies
who are doulas out there and i know that you’ve identified yourselves before um something that i
thought was very interesting that you may have a better perception understanding of is that maya
the name of the goddess it’s a name maya and her name means her craft that’s how we say midwife is
maya maya um what i thought was interesting was she is the only olympian she’s the only god within
the pantheon who prefers and chooses to live on earth in a cave she’s the only god that prefers
to live in a in a mortal environment within the cave and her son preserves that his messengering
is all under her leadership under her college so when you see the caduceus with the two serpents
and the rod you know this is this is part of the college this is part of the college of the
midwives now something very special i don’t know what it means maybe somebody can tell me
I don’t know what it means that she is the one who prefers to live in the element, if you will.
She could be ethereal.
She chooses to be aerial.
Yeah, nice, nice, love it.
Anyway, let’s keep reading.
Zeus makes himself the pater kaipotnia meter.
He makes himself, interestingly enough, the father and the queen mother.
The queen mother.
interesting okay let’s keep let’s keep reading let’s keep reading i’ve got a little bit more
yeah why he knows of another birth right everybody everybody’s saying i forgot to tell you the gossip
is coming through the sibyls the zeus jehovah jove um the father god is is destined to be
overthrown right so this is what’s perpetuating all of this action again evangelicals i’m talking
to the people who are here who hear the analog. They hear the analog. They know what’s being said.
They can decode from his temple. He becomes pregnant from his temple. Is this thing called
a temple? Yes. It’s the temple of your head. Yes. And from the temple of his head, he pours out.
Now, this is funny. The translation that the Harvard people use, right, is old. And every time somebody can’t, the translator can’t figure out what Nonas is doing, because Nonas is using, I’m filtering this out for you, but Nonas is using words that only appear, those hop, hocks, legomas, they only appear once.
we only have this citation of and they’re words that he is obviously creating right a lot of them
are words that he is obviously creating but of the ones that aren’t that aren’t his working that
they just happen to be hypoxogamma those have a share in an antiquity that we can’t i mean
those are the real finds linguistically those are the jewels that are in it and every once in a
while you come across one of those, it gives you an insight into the cult, the cult operation.
And then you can see that mystery just a little bit more clearly. And we have some of that here
because Zeus, he sends out, he emits Athena, he emits Athena, emits Athena. And it’s not
just a sin as you and I would think of to sin. It means to send as in to push water or a fluid,
to push water to squirt yeah he so in the mind of the ancient greek zeus is conveying
on and why is it why do we know that there are this is a sexual reference because she is
considered the osporon she is considered the seedless yeah she is considered the seedless
she springs solely from that mind yeah and she is the astraptusan the one who brings the lightning
the astrape is you’ll notice is just strape right the asterion is just the str root in use
so here once again connected with the very power of god you all know that lightning is connected
with god whether you’re reading the old testament or whether you’re reading some pagan works right
you know that that god the father is a god of lightning you didn’t know what the lightning was
before now. The lightning is that which bathes the morostokia, bathes that process of the ultimate
pain of birth, of bringing that entity into life, right? Bringing life from death. So Maya,
the midwife, becomes the one linchpin of the entire mystery. It’s the linchpin that the
christians removed right we know it’s unfortunate we know what happened was unfortunate that jesus
got caught in a public park with a naked boy and arrested and condemned and yelled at by a mob
and forced to go to death in the place of a dude who they knew had killed someone yeah um so
we are trying to find it’s unfortunate that’s how the circumstances ended up and he ends up dying
on the cross before his time, right? But he is that one to whom is brought the drugs and the
financing, that he can carry the title of the Ieson. Yes, that he can be the Christos. Why?
Because the Asterion has brought us to him, because we followed the star. So I want you to
see the context and i want you to remember i need we need to see a dance because we are at a place
where we have to constantly remind ourselves and this is good for the evangelicals as well
as well and please invite your evangelical friends please we are at a place where we have to stop
and say wait a minute um let’s just get a historical perspective here right who’s the
oldest goddess right who is the oldest divinity is it jehovah who is it so from this lightning
now you want those symbols you want the real ones you want the old ones right and that’s what we’re
all looking for and that’s why we’re pounding down the aryan connection and the the archers
the archers who are on the city and steeps yeah what are we doing there we’re living in a world
with arrows and we’re living in a world with poisons and we’re transferring culture through
these migrations that we’re having and some of it is ending up in this old old old poetry and
somehow we’re getting these lines we’re getting these lines about these individuals yeah yeah
so where does that bring us where does that bring us yeah we come to the source we have to have the
lightning we have to know what they’re doing with the lightning we have to have the
right we have to have that power we have to find her and we have to bring her forward
And in order to do so, we have to go into the language and we have to pull out very basic elements, the scientific stuff that’s there.
You guys have been following this and many of you have been tracking on the Discord and you’re working with other sources and seeing how the mystery is pursued across time.
And I’m hoping that with enough work, we can elucidate a broader history of the working of the mystery
instead of its hijacking by the dude Moses and its hijacking by the dude Jesus.
We can go back and we can see it in its original form and find that Maya.
What is the lightning that she bathes the infant in?
What is that Bacchic power?
Why are we here for the goddess?
It’s because of that power.
There was a river.
I want to finish tonight, and I just want to encourage you to look at the river,
Arethusa, because she was a witness.
She didn’t want to succumb to domination.
so she became a witness she flowed through the underworld and saw the Korah the great Korah she
saw her the Korah right she saw her and witnessed her place as a queen she was the one who said
Demeter you’ve got to let these humans live you’ve got to let these humans live for one reason your
daughter is a queen and she is acting as a queen you can’t stop that um and somehow somehow that
women’s cult took that gym that beauty of life of real life and wove it into the history wove it in
and made the world that you now look at and say and say your hail marys and receive your atonement
and raise your hands and praise and worship and bring the offerings of your praise to your god
when you do that thing when you do those things now you’re doing them within a container that
was made by a guy who was arrested in the public park with a naked boy we need to bring this to the
For the people who are sitting there who are actively pursuing this satanic contract, satanic pact, you have a responsibility to bring this reality to the world.
You have a responsibility to free the people who are in the middle of it.
you you cannot discriminate against people whatever cult that they’re in or whether they’re
on fox news right from the tops of the mountains to the very bottom you have to help these people
to see the reality it’s our obligation if we’re going to honor the muse it’s our obligation to
help them and i just want to say for those evangelicals who are out there he was arrested
in the public park you know like 4 a.m with a naked kid the institutions are built upon a dude
who was uh you know who was disliked for what he had done in the presence of that child one
late night okay we have an obligation we must stand up thank you for coming tonight
we’ll have i’m delighted with tomorrow’s class with saturday’s class um you guys are wow you’re

guys are going to be some crack and I’ll take you as far as you can go. I’ll show you that you have
something inside of you that’s bigger than you thought that you can bring to the table. Yeah.
It’s going to be hard and there’s going to be a lot of sweat and there’s going to be a lot of agony,
but you people are marvelous. And I know that we’re going to break through. Yeah. Nice. Nice.
