  • The 12 Labours of Hercules/Heracles are some of the most impressive tales in Greek Mythology. The son of Zeus and a descendant of Perseus, Heracles was destined to be a great Hero. He was favoured by many gods of Olympus, including Athena, Apollo and Hermes. However, one Olympian, the goddess Hera, hated him before he was even born and strived to make his life as difficult as possible. Using her magic, she made Heracles kill his family, forcing him to visit the Oracle of Delphi to seek redemption. The Oracle informed him that he would have to carry out 12 Labours in penance, under the service of King Eurystheus of Mycenae.
    His labours were the ultimate test of strength and skill. He would fight and kill savage beasts, from the Nemean Lion and Lernaean Hydra to the Stymphalian Birds and the three-headed giant Geryon. But his labours would also require him to travel to distant lands, to capture animals that King Eurystheus wanted to observe. From Artemis’ Ceryneian Hind and King Minos’ Cretan Bull (the father of the Minotaur) to the guardian of the Underworld itself, the three-headed dog Cerberus, who was sacred to Hades.
    His strength would be pushed to the limit when he offered to hold up the sky for the Titan Atlas, on his journey to retrieve the Golden Apples of the Hesperides. And his wits would be tested when he was tasked with cleaning the filthy Augean Stables in a single day.
    After his Labours, Heracles would continue his heroic journey, setting up the Olympic Games as well as joining Jason and the Argonauts on their quest for the Golden Fleece. However, although Heracles lived an amazing life full of adventure, he would ultimately suffer an agonising death. After causing the death of the centaurs Pholus and Chiron, he would make an enemy of the centaur Nessus. Nessus would eventually get his revenge by tricking Heracles’ wife, Deianira, into giving the hero a poisoned robe, bringing his eventful life to an abrupt and painful end.

      You can be certain the Warlocks, and The Witches, and the Sorcerer to the Wizard too all other people and their solids whom practice the “Dark Arts” have seen what has happened, and we can Heal Heaven and we can heal Hell, and let us take into consideration, WE THE PEOPLE be we human, or nonhuman with our SOLIDS that have “always” been in Heaven and Hell, and we just did not know they were TERMS for Light Side of the World, and Dark Side of the World: inside these TWO Celestial Spheres, and there is much to do and explore on BOTH SIDES of our FLAT EARTHS, and Inner Earth once we ESTABLISH Our World Republic Constitution Coalition, and do away with all Admiralty - Maritime - ROMAN PAPAL LAWS!!!
      The Sentinel….
      Remember this my people of Pak-Toe: EVERYTHING is Thought, and our Thoughts can make the LAWS, and their Thoughts of The Racka can come to pass Once and for All in Heaven and Hell… In this knowledge: A New Heaven and A New Earth where earth was actually the term HELL all along… Christ Jesus Returned...

    I have suffered from dyslexia my entire life. However, I was not diagnosed until I was endanger of finishing high school but without my diploma. I had been failed in grade five without the results my teacher hoped for. Everyday I struggled just the same. As my friends read the ancient myths, I stumbled through only remembering what I had heard read aloud. Because I love the stories I paid close attention when anything read out loud and desperately trying to read for myself. I learned many of these myths. I’ve been trilled with your channel. I’ve learned some of the holes that were missing for me. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 😊, It’s been amazing, I still suffer from an extreme form of dyslexia but your channel is teaching me so much.

      @@ChrisbeFoSerious apollo-gees my friend. I got caught up with things. Where do I begin. So now the news say there is a 13th constellation of the zodiac, which is ophiuchus, the serpent bearer, pertaining to herakles/hercules because he wielded the power of the hydra (serpent) blood. But in the bible the blood of the serpent is truth, the knowledge of good and evil. This truth is mercury, the messenger of the gods, and the one who brings it is lucifer, Lux means light, but also knowledge. Ferre means to bear, carry, or ferry. Lucifer brings the light, the knowledge. Who else does this in the bible? John the baptist. He "paves the way" for someone greater, Jesus. But who is Jesus? He is the great fisher of men, fisherman, pisces. He is the sun in pisces, the lord of the fish, who will give you living water, translated from "argentum vivum" which means living silver, which is quick silver, mercury. What do fish have an abundance of? And before pisces is aquarius. John is aquarius in the zodiac, but who is he in the solar system. As discussed, he is lucifer, who is samael, who is also SAint MichAEL, both opposite polarites. He is the baphomet, and mahomet. Who is mahomet? Muhammad. Muhammad is frigg/freya in norse, hence where we get "friday" or "FRIggs day." John the baptist is muhammad, islams prophet. The left hand of God. Islam takes their sabbath (sabattical) on friday, to the left of the sabbath of judaism which is the father of christianity and islam. To the right, we have jesus, the sun, taking sabbath on the suns day or sunday. But who does john the baptist, lucifer, samael, saint michael, frigg/freya refer to in greek/roman mythology. I have to explain it through roman, because it allows the reader to not have to bridge the connections themselves. It is venus. During the spring equinox, venus is the brightest star in the predawn sky. It "announces" the arrival of someone greater, and once the sunrise occurs, venus competes with the sun to be the most high, but because of it's trajectory does not take the throne. It then falls from the heavens or is "cast out of heaven." Venus doesn't return until it is the evening star, known as vesper lord of the night. One is the most beautiful and the other a creature of darkness, but really just opposite polarities of the same being. I hope this helps a bit. Also, the ages retrograde. We were in the age of pisces, originallt ruled by Jupiter, a benevolent energy. We then transitioned to the age of aquarius, ruled by uranus and saturn, and then into capricorn, ruled only by saturn. This is symbolic of Uranus being castrated and removed from power by saturn, but also transposes down to alchemy, because lead blocks radiation and light, and removes the power of Uranus (uranium) who is the heaviest natural element in terms of protons and electrons. He is "the all father" so to speak when it comes to the planets alchemy, and greek/roman mythology.

Notice they mean the same thing, and even sound the same. Now, flip some letters around and you get Rama On. Rama means the most high, and On was the city of the sun. Rama On is the most high city of the sun. Ram Abraham, Abram Rahma, is a friend of God, because he worships the sun, white light that creates life, the chief of Gods creation, made up of the nine realms ruled by Odin, infrared, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, ultraviolet.

    The 12 Labors of Hercules are actually the physical aspects of the spiritual path. For instance, the Nemean lion is our basest desires and carnal lust and by defeating them we start the kundalini process forcing yang chi to rise, (as in most depictions of ancient spiritual masters, the lion skin represents control over desire) then to the hydra which is the clearing of the chakras and etc.. There is much more to these labors, as well as the remaining ten. They are all steps for spiritual cultivation. If you are interested please read the book "The Little Book Of Hercules" by William Bodri. There is a lot of important spiritual information packed in that book.

    I always thought Hercules hated the Nemian Lion but he was respectful and didn't want it to suffer.

      I think a series would be more appropriate because the story of Heracles is huge. Theres even more of his adventures besides the 12 labors. Maybe one day we will see a proper adaption that lives up to his legend.

      Dont get too excited. Its all artificial. Its all fake. By fake I mean that these are not traditions handed down from father to son, and which connects us with our ancestors. No, the olympics was created by a comittee of UN beaurocrats, based on whatever archeology thought at the time. Nothing is more fake than that.
