Chapter 2-The Mother Goddess  
     
1.
 It is well recognized historical record that in 722 BCE, the Assyrians, under Shalmaneser, and then under Sargon, conquered Israel (the northern Kingdom), destroyed its capital Samaria, and sent many of the Israelites into exile and captivity.  
2.
 What is less well known is that the Israelites themselves, being descendents of Ugarit and of Ebla were themselves closely related to the royal and priest families of the old Assyrian kingdoms and the most ancient priests of history, the Priest Kings, the "feara cuileann" (Holy Ones) of Ireland.  
3.
 In the days of the great patriarchs of the first western civilizations, the great cities of Ebla and Mari were arch enemies. Mari was an ancient city in Syria situated at the modern locality of Tell Hariri, on the western bank of Euphrates river, some 120 km southeast of Dayr az-Zawr, Syria.  
4.
 The Eblates were followers of El, were dedicated to knowledge, to wider cosmology and abhorred animal and human sacrifices.  
5.
 In contrast, the followers of Mari worshipped Dagan the God of life, storms and fertility and Ishtar, The Queen of the Heavens and goddess of love, power.  
6.
 When the Marites conquered and populated Ebla and later Ugarit, they established these gods who later came to be known as Baal and Ashtar (Baachus and Aphrodyte for the Greeks/Romans).  
7.
 Both at the excavations of Ugarit and Mari, as well as other ruins of temples to these prototype gods, there is evidence that terrible rituals of mass sexual and wine orgies accompanied by human sacrifice were practiced.  
8.
 This might account for the disgust of the priest king lines of Pharaoh Akhenaten (“Moses”) towards the worship of Baal, given such worship would have certainly involved these debasing fertility/power rituals.  
9.
 The word evil comes from the modification of the word ubil, itself a derivation of Baal. Similarly, the word Satan, Hebrew for adversary is a derivation of the ancient god Dagan the prototype of the same god Baal.  
10.
 The history of the connection of Ireland, Ibbi-Éri “Land of Ibbi” later called Ibiru, Habiru, Iberni, Hiberni and Ériu is virtually non-existent. Thanks to countless waves of systematic Christian destruction very little of the pre-christian culture of Ireland has survived .  
11.
 Yet circumstantial evidence still abounds to suggest that Ireland, not Jerusalem was the spiritual home of the most ancient of "hebrew" Sadduccee bloodlines.    
12.
 This is consistent with the strong evidence to suggest that the Sadducee descendents of the priest-kings were at war with themselves between much older bloodlines and higher worship and "pretenders" from Syria and the practice of wicked secret rituals.  
13.
 The Song of Songs and other texts attributed to Solomon show clear signs of worship of Ashtoreth (Goddess of Love, War and Power) including references to maidens of the temple. It can be fairly certain then that with such references were accompanied the ancient rituals of wine fuelled temple orgies and human sacrifice.  
14.
 The Akkadians themselves worshipped Ishtar and probably child/human sacrifice and the same ceremonies.  
15.
 Given these connections, it is more likely that the Israelite leaders who were practitioners of the secret rituals of Baal and human sacrifice, black magic and orgies remained in positions of authority, while those opposed to such practices were either killed, taken prisoner or exiled.  
16.
 What is clear from both the historic timelines, cultural interaction and carefully crafted references in various religious texts, a large number of the ruling class of Sadducees even up to the time of Jesus were still practicing the ancient fertility rituals of sexual orgies, wine consumption and human sacrifice in and around religious venues.  
17.
 Biblical references have been significantly altered so that it is virtually impossible to determine precisely whether some passages are referring to such practices, but evidence surrounding even the Maccabeans themselves intimate that such rituals may have even been reintroduced as late as 140 BCE.  
18.
 For most people today, such practices are supposed to be more associated with corrupt Roman Emperors. In truth, this is a deliberate Christian myth as most Roman leaders prior to the advent of Christianity were strict adherents to a personal philosophy of stoicism and self-restraint, respect, tolerance and love of life.  
19.
 An excellent example of this philosophy is the writings of Emperor Marcus Aurelius who considered Christians the epitome of evil. It was this inner strength and discipline that enabled the Romans to maintain such a diverse Empire for a thousand years.  
20.
 In parallel, there is strong evidence of the secret mystery cults of Bacchus (modification of the name Baal) thrived amongst the elite of Greek and Roman cities and there are many historic references deploring their ceremonies, while careful never to be too explicit as to just how awful they were.  
21.
 In contrast, it is clear that the Pharisee, the creators of the Old Testament as we see it today, considered these practices to be the epitome of evil. Indeed, such practices are literally the root of the meaning of the word evil. It is not surprising then that Rabbinical Judaism was methodical in attempting to detach itself from such practices.  
22.
 However, even up to the Middle Ages, mythology still persisted about “wicked acts” that “Jews” would do to small children if they were ever caught, culminating in the fairy tale of the witch in the enchanted forest.  
23.
 Such references indicate that secret worship of Baal/Satan and the Mother Goddess Cybele including sexual orgies, drug consumption and human sacrifice must have persisted to some degree.
