I'm not sure what thread this belongs in so I'll post it here for now and hope it gets funneled to the proper place but I just had a lightning bolt strike me so I must get this out!I was reading about Melchizedek earlier. For those who don't know he is mentioned briefly in the old testament as the Priest of the most high..
Then I was thinking about how priests are people who chose to exemplify the archtype within them which is the one correlated to the god they worship...for better or worse.
So the Priests of Hecate become like Hecate because they are literally her body, just as many Christians claim to be the body of Christ...
We are the body of the gods we worship.
But I was confused about Melchizedek because Jesus claims he is in the order of Melchizedek...what could Melchizedek symbolize?
Well he is a symbolizes the Priest of Priests. He is the archetype of Priesthood...and Jesus according to the esoteric view is in us all as the divine consciousness and light - not referring to the christian paradigm here, but even Jesus is in the pagan paradigm as the "We are one," "Or treat others as how you will be treated" Paradigm...
So all Melchizedek is really is simply the idea that every god has his or her priests and therefore there must be also a god of priests!
