Solar Nova and Pole Shift in Myth

A recent stellar nova in the constellation Ophiuchus was witnessed on August 8, 2021. The star novas every 15 years on average. Many scientists believe that our own sun has a periodic cycle of recurring novas as well, but the period is between 12-13,000 years. With this idea in mind it is easy to see references to solar novas and pole shift catastrophes in ancient religious texts and myths from around the world.

“According to a Cherokee legend, the sun long ago grew jealous of her brother the moon because the people of Earth always looked at her with twisted-up faces and squinted eyes, while they smiled at his gentle light. The sun’s daughter lived in the middle of sky, so every day, the sun stopped to visit her. Angry at humans for their ugly expressions, the sun began using these opportunities to send down so much heat that people began to die…. The rattlesnake arrived at the sun’s daughter’s house to wait for her arrival. But while he was waiting, the sun’s daughter opened her door.

The rattlesnake accidentally bit her, killing her. When the sun came to see her daughter, she discovered her dead and began to weep, flooding the Earth with her tears.” (https://www.livescience.com/20415-folklore-5-sun-myths.html) In this myth the sun’s travels through the sky take it through a region called her daughter’s house, presumably the galactic center “in the middle of the sky.” The rattlesnake stung the sun’s daughter and when the sun was there to see it she cried a flood.

I suggest the rattlesnake stinging at this cosmic middle is the stinger of Scorpio in western star lore. Both Scorpio’s stinger and Sagittarius’ arrow point to the galactic center, and “the valley of the shadow of death” is the spot in between with the galactic center – according to Rabbi Joel Dobin in Kabbalistic Astrology. This is where the messiah has Satan “bruise his heel” (Genesis 3:15) before he will crush Satan. In Egyptian myth, Horus is stung by a scorpion, and the Boat of the Sun “comes to a standstill” before he is revived and things return to normal.

In Greek myth, Phaethon is allowed to ride Apollo’s sun chariot but he loses control and veers off course. This scares the great and little bear off their path, and causes the scorpion to prepare to sting the approaching sun charioteer. Phaethon falls and crashes to Earth, burning up large parts of Earth (Earth experiences the nova outburst) before Zeus lifts the table to flood the world and put out the fires. Apollo takes control of the sun chariot again. This is another classic description of a pole shift: as the surface of the earth detaches from the core and suddenly shifts to a new position, the sun appears to shift around the sky (as do Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, leaving the usual position where they marked the pole.) Near the stinger of Scorpio, the sun “crashes” and the world burns before a great flood.

If the correct interpretation of these myths is that a pole shift happens when the winter solstice sun is near the galactic center and the stinger of Scorpio, then we have been in that window of opportunity for decades already. The sun of the winter solstice is close to any given point on the zodiac for a space of a few decades just once every 26,000 years. The sun is closest to the galactic center point from about 1980-2020. Such myths could mean that we are very close to another similar series of events, with another solar outburst and pole shift.

Revelation 8:5 “And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth.”

Revelation 8:7 “and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.”

Revelation 16:8 “And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.”

Isaiah 30:26 “the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people”

Isaiah 24:1 “Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.”
Job 9:5-6 “It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how, When He overturns them in His anger; Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble.”
Psalms 46:2 “though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea.”

Hebrews 12:26-27 “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven. This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken.”  The bible even comments on its own mention of “yet once more” to emphasize that this has happened before, and will happen again!  The Book of Genesis describes past pole shifts; Revelation describes the next one.
