Christmas, celebrated as the birth of Christ, overlays an ancient tapestry of sun-worship and astrological symbolism. Rooted in the winter solstice—the turning point when the sun begins its ascent back to dominance—the date has long represented renewal and rebirth. Ancient mystery religions such as those of Mithras and Osiris marked this celestial event with rituals tied to the sun’s cyclical triumph over darkness. Occult practices, often shrouded in secrecy, draw on these themes, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow as a spiritual metaphor. Secret societies, from the Freemasons to Rosicrucians, have encoded solar symbolism into their teachings, using the sun's journey to represent enlightenment, hidden knowledge, and the eternal struggle for balance. In this chapter, we explore how Christmas reflects an esoteric confluence of celestial and spiritual truths, where the birth of the Son and the rebirth of the Sun become one.

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.680
Welcome back to Broadcasting Seeds, the show where we pull
2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:07.519
back the veil on the strange, the hidden, and sometimes
3
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:12.039
the downright bizarre. I'm your host, Bennett Tanton, and today
4
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.800
we're taking a deep dive into the holiday season. But
5
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.039
not the version you hear about in Carol's or sea
6
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:24.160
plastered on Hallmark cards. No, we're digging into the esoteric,
7
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.399
the ancient, and the symbolic roots of Christmas. This episode
8
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.920
is called the Birth of the Sun, Unveiling the hidden
9
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:37.119
mysteries of Christmas. Now, before you go thinking I'm here
10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.960
to ruin your holiday spirit, let me clarify. This isn't
11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.880
about tearing down Christmas trees or telling you Santa works
12
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.920
for the Illuminati. It's about understanding the deeper layers of
13
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.479
meaning behind what many consider the most wonderful time of
14
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.159
the year. Because, let's be honest, there's more going on
15
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.920
here than meets the eye. Why does Christmas land on
16
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.519
December twenty fifth, Why is it so closely tied to
17
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.640
the winter solstice? And what's with all the symbolism surrounding
18
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:14.200
light and darkness? Could there be connections to ancient sun worship, astrology,
19
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:20.040
and even secret societies spoiler alert, Yes, and it's fascinating.
20
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:25.200
In this episode, we'll explore the astronomical importance of the solstice,
21
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.200
uncover the ancient traditions that influence modern Christmas, and connect
22
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.439
the dots between sun worship, astrology, and the hidden teachings
23
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.280
of secret societies. Along the way, we'll look at how
24
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.000
this all ties back to the story of Christ and
25
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.760
why the symbolism of the sun and the sun is
26
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.519
so so powerful even today. So buckle up, folks, because
27
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.439
we're about to blend biblical truth, ancient mysteries, and a
28
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:58.200
sprinkle of conspiracy into one fascinating package. And as always,
29
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.239
my goal isn't just to an form you. It's to
30
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.920
make you think, question, and maybe even feel a little
31
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:29.479
more connected to the bigger picture. Ready, let's get into it.
32
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.360
Let's start with the basics. The winter solstice. It's the
33
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.960
shortest day in the longest night of the year, a
34
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.840
celestial event that ancient civilizations watched with awe and reverence.
35
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.159
Imagine living in a time before Google, calendar, GPS, or
36
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.800
even reliable maps. Your survival depended on understanding the rhythms
37
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.080
of the natural world. The solstice wasn't just another day
38
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.960
It was a cosmic signal, a literal turning point, when
39
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.080
the sun, the giver of life, stopped retreating and began
40
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.319
its slow march back to dominance. For many ancient cultures,
41
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.919
this wasn't just astronomy, it was theology. They saw the
42
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.439
sun as a divine force, a god, or at least
43
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.400
a symbol of one. It makes sense when you think
44
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.719
about it. The sun is what keeps us alive. Without it,
45
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:41.000
there's no food, no warmth, no light. So when it
46
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.080
started to wane in the sky during the fall, people
47
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:48.639
panicked a little. Rituals, feasts, and ceremonies sprang up to
48
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.840
ensure its return, a cosmic bribe, if you will, and
49
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.240
the winter solstice was proof that their efforts had paid off.
50
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.680
Now fast forward a few thousand years to us sitting
51
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.639
in our heated homes, scrolling social media under the glow
52
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.680
of led lights, The solstice might not seem like a
53
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.240
big deal anymore, but for the ancients it was everything.
54
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.800
It marked the death of darkness and the rebirth of light,
55
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.199
a cycle so profound that it became the foundation for
56
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:25.000
countless myths, legends, and yes, even modern holidays. Take the
57
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.360
Yule celebrations of the Norse. They burned massive logs to
58
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:34.240
honor the sun's return, a tradition we've sanitized into today's
59
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.720
Christmas Yule logs. Or look at the Roman festival of Saturnalia,
60
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.160
a week long party of gift giving, feasting, and let's
61
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.800
be honest, a bit of chaos. Sound familiar, and here's
62
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.560
where things start to get interesting. Around two hundred and
63
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.199
seventy four a d. The Roman emperor Aurelian declared December
64
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.040
twenty fifth as the birth date of Soul Invictus, the
65
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.000
Unconquered Sun. This deity was a blend of various sun
66
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.680
gods worshiped throughout the empire. The date wasn't random, It
67
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.040
was tied to the solstice, which they believed was the
68
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.680
moment the sun began its comeback tour. So how did
69
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.120
we go from celebrating Saul and Victus to celebrating Jesus Christ.
70
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.759
That's a story of cultural adaptation or maybe co optation,
71
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.800
depending on how you see it. Early Christians didn't have
72
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.319
a specific date for Christ's birth. In fact, there's no
73
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:38.839
biblical mention of December twenty fifth, but as Christianity spread
74
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.000
through the Roman Empire, it made sense to align Christ's
75
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:47.319
birth with a pre existing celebration of light's triumph over darkness.
76
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.920
Think about it. The Sun was seen as a savior
77
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.920
rising to bring life back to the earth. Jesus, often
78
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.560
referred to as the light of the world, fit that
79
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:03.040
symbolism perfectly. Whether it was a strategic move or divine synchronicity,
80
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.199
the result was the same. December twenty fifth became a bridge,
81
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.279
a way to bring together old traditions and new beliefs
82
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:16.639
under one well shining star. And that's the beauty of
83
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.800
this time of year. It's not just about one story,
84
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.319
one tradition, or even one religion. It's about something universal,
85
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:29.439
the human need to celebrate hope, renewal, and the promise
86
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:44.439
of light in our darkest moments. Sun worship is one
87
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.240
of the oldest and most universal practices in human history.
88
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.000
From the frozen tundras of Scandinavia to the blazing deserts
89
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.160
of Egypt, civilizations have looked to the Sun not just
90
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.720
as a celestial body, but as a divine forces, the
91
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.959
ultimate giver of life. It's not hard to see why
92
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.959
if the Sun didn't show up tomorrow, let's just say,
93
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.800
your morning coffee would be the least of your worries.
94
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.000
Let's start in Egypt, where the sun god Ra was
95
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.399
basically the Beyonce of the pantheon. Ra wasn't just a god,
96
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.240
he was the god. According to Egyptian mythology. Every day,
97
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.519
Ros sailed across the sky in his solar bark, bringing
98
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.959
light to the world. By night, he journeyed through the underworld,
99
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.000
battling chaos and darkness to ensure the sun would rise again.
100
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.519
This daily cycle wasn't just a cool story. It was
101
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.519
a metaphor for life, death, and rebirth, themes that resonated
102
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:50.920
deeply with the ancient Egyptians. Now hop over to Mesoamerica,
103
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.959
where the Aztecs also had a thing for the sun.
104
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.480
They believed the sun god Whitzilipolclei needed regular sacrifices to
105
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:05.079
keep the word turning. Literally, no sacrifices, no sunrise. Talk
106
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.959
about high stakes. Their rituals might seem extreme, but they
107
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.600
reflect a common thread, the idea that the son is
108
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:16.360
both a benevolent giver and a force that demands respect,
109
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:21.439
even appeasement. And then there's the Roman Empire. By the
110
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.839
time we get to Emperor Aurelian in the third century ad,
111
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.959
Rome was a cultural melting pot, absorbing deities and traditions
112
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:35.080
from across its vast territories. Aurelian, ever, the savvy politician,
113
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:40.279
decided to unify his empire by promoting Saul Invictus, the
114
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:45.399
Unconquered Sun, as a supreme deity. Sol Invictus wasn't just
115
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.960
a god. He was a symbol of resilience, power, and
116
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.799
eternal renewal, a perfect mascot for an empire that saw
117
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:57.480
itself as eternal. Here's where it gets interesting. Sol Invictus
118
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:02.000
wasn't entirely new. He was a bleame of earlier Sun deities,
119
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:07.519
including the Persian Mithras and the Syrian Eligablus. Mythrs in particular,
120
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:12.879
has fascinating ties to Christianity. His followers celebrated his birth
121
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:17.480
on you Guessed It, December twenty fifth, and their rituals
122
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:22.840
included communal meals that some scholars say resemble early Christian eucharists.
123
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:28.480
Coincidence maybe, or maybe it's a case of spiritual recycling.
124
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:33.399
But Sun worship wasn't confined to these big name civilizations.
125
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.320
In Celtic cultures, the Sun was celebrated during the Festival
126
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.679
of Yule, marking the solstice with fire and feasting. In
127
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.399
Hinduism Suria, the sun god remains a central figure, with
128
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:51.279
devotees offering prayers and water to the rising sun every morning,
129
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:56.200
a practice that continues to this day. What's clear across
130
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.440
all these examples is that the sun wasn't just a
131
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.159
physical phenomenon to ancient people. It was a symbol of
132
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.120
the divine, a constant reminder of the delicate balance between
133
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.919
life and death, order and chaos, light and darkness. And
134
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.360
it wasn't just about survival, it was about meaning. Sun
135
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.679
worship tapped into humanity's deepest fears and hopes, the fear
136
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.320
that the darkness might one day win, and the hope
137
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.320
that it never would. This tension, this eternal cycle of
138
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.519
death and rebirth, is something we see mirrored not just
139
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.399
in ancient rituals, but in the very fabric of our
140
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:40.519
modern holiday celebrations. As we move forward, we'll see how
141
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:45.960
these solar traditions evolved, blending with astrology and esoteric teachings
142
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.399
to form a hidden undercurrent in history, one that still
143
00:10:50.519 --> 00:11:09.159
ripples through our world today. If you've ever read a
144
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.120
horoscope or heard someone blame mercury, retrograde for their bad day. Congratulations,
145
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.759
you've already dipped your toes into the world of astrology.
146
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:23.519
But astrology is more than pop culture mysticism. It's an
147
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.639
ancient system that's been used to decode the heavens and
148
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.279
their supposed influence on our lives for thousands of years.
149
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.279
At the heart of it all, you guessed it, the Sun.
150
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.240
In astrology, the Sun is the central figure, representing the
151
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.639
core of our identity, vitality, and life force. It's no
152
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.120
coincidence that the Sun occupies this pivotal role in the zodiac.
153
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.879
After all, it's the anchor of our solar system, the
154
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:56.399
celestial body that literally keeps us alive. Its journey through
155
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.639
the sky and the twelve signs of the zodiac was
156
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.919
seen by ancient astrologers as a map for understanding the
157
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.679
cycles of life and the universe. Let's talk about the
158
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:12.080
winter solstice. Around December twenty first or twenty second, the
159
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:16.120
sun reaches its lowest point in the sky, marking the
160
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.960
darkest day of the year. For three days, it appears
161
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.159
to pause before beginning its climb back toward the heavens.
162
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.279
This death and rebirth of the Sun wasn't just an
163
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.879
astronomical event, it was a cosmic drama. To the ancients,
164
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:38.039
this moment symbolized transformation, renewal, and the promise of light
165
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:43.679
returning to the world. Astrologically, the winter solstice occurs as
166
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:49.200
the Sun enters Capricorn, the zodiac sign ruled by Saturn. Now,
167
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:53.480
Capricorn isn't the flashiest sign. It's not throwing wild parties
168
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:58.039
like Leo, or spouting deep poetry like Pisces. Capricorn is
169
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:02.360
about discipline, structure, and enduring the hard times to reap
170
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:09.200
future rewards. Fitting right, the Sun reborn in Capricorn reflects
171
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.559
the need to push through the darkness of winter, both
172
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:17.360
literally and metaphorically. Here's where things get even more symbolic.
173
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.559
The journey of the Sun through the zodiac parallels the
174
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:27.240
human life cycle. For instance, Ares the first sign marks
175
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:32.320
the spring of life, youth, energy, and beginnings. Leo, ruled
176
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.279
by the Sun itself, represents the height of life's vitality
177
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:42.200
and creativity. Capricorn, on the other hand, aligns with wisdom, endurance,
178
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.879
and the ability to survive through challenges, much like winter itself.
179
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.399
The connection between the Sun and astrology wasn't just theoretical,
180
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.240
Ancient astrologers use the Sun's position to determine planting and
181
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.120
harvesting cycles, predict political changes, and even decide the best
182
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.519
times for rituals and ceremonies. For them, the Sun's movements
183
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.279
were a language, a way for the divine to communicate
184
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.279
with humanity. But it wasn't just about the Sun. The
185
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.279
other celestial bodies played supporting roles in this cosmic drama.
186
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:22.600
The Moon, for example, represented the emotional and intuitive side
187
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.440
of life, while the planets like Venus and Mars symbolized
188
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:32.320
love and action respectively. Together they formed a celestial clockwork,
189
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:37.159
each movement caring profound meaning for those who knew how
190
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.919
to interpret it. This brings us back to December twenty fifth.
191
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.399
Why is this date significant beyond the solstice? Ancient astrologers
192
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.159
believed this was the moment when the Sun, having been reborn,
193
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.039
began its upward climb, symbolizing hope and renewal. It's no
194
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.399
wonder that cultures across the world chose this time to
195
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:04.519
celebrate gods and figures associated with light, life and salvation.
196
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.440
And this astrological significance isn't just a relic of the past.
197
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:14.000
Even today, many esoteric and occult traditions see the Sun's
198
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:19.600
journey as a spiritual metaphor so reminder that darkness is
199
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.759
temporary and light will always return, whether we realize it
200
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.159
or not. The rhythms of the cosmos continue to shape
201
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.279
our collective consciousness. As we move into the next section,
202
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:36.120
we'll explore how secret societies and occult traditions have kept
203
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:41.039
these solar and astrological symbols alive, weaving them into their
204
00:15:41.080 --> 00:16:08.639
teachings and practices. If you've ever felt like certain groups
205
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.279
know more than they let on, you're not alone. Secret
206
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.279
societies have captured the imagination and suspicion of humanity for centuries.
207
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.879
From the Freemasons to the Resicrucians, these organizations have long
208
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:27.440
been accused of hiding knowledge, manipulating power, and guarding mysteries
209
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.840
that most of us can only guess at. And at
210
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.440
the center of many of their symbols and rituals you'll
211
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.879
find the sun. Let's start with the Freemasons, arguably the
212
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.919
most well known secret society and history. Their symbolism is
213
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.360
a treasure trove of solar imagery. The Sun is often
214
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:53.039
paired with the moon, representing balance, light and darkness, masculine
215
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.360
and feminine day and night. Masonic temples are designed to
216
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.559
align with the East, the direction of the rise Sun,
217
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.559
symbolizing enlightenment and the pursuit of truth. The idea is
218
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:10.480
simple but profound. The Sun's light reveals what's hidden, just
219
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:15.039
as knowledge dispels ignorance. But it doesn't stop there. The
220
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.680
Masonic hierarchy itself can be seen as a solar journey.
221
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:24.400
Members ascend through degrees of initiation, with each level symbolizing
222
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:29.920
greater illumination both literally and figuratively. This mirrors the Sun's
223
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.960
daily and yearly cycles, moving from darkness to light, ignorance
224
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:40.160
to wisdom. Then there's the Rosicrucians, a mystical organization that
225
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.720
emerged in Europe during the seventeenth century. Their teachings combine
226
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:50.200
Christian theology with esoteric wisdom, much of which revolves around
227
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:54.240
celestial bodies. To the Rosicrucians, the Sun wasn't just a
228
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:59.039
physical object, it was a spiritual force, a manifestation of
229
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.680
divine light. They believed that understanding the Sun's mysteries could
230
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.039
unlock higher truth about the universe and humanity's place in it.
231
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.720
But what's the big deal about the sun anyway. Why
232
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.839
do these groups and many others focus on it so heavily.
233
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:20.920
The answer lies in what the sun represents life, power,
234
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.240
and transcendence. The Sun is eternal, rising every day, no
235
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:30.319
matter how dark the night. It's a universal symbol of hope, perseverance,
236
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.440
and the triumph of light over darkness. This idea wasn't
237
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:39.480
limited to the Freemasons and Rosicrucians. Many occult tradition see
238
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:43.079
the Sun as a bridge between the material and the spiritual.
