The Rise of Skywalker

PT I: X Factor

BLOG TITLE: THE X FACTOR

A picture can say a thousand words, but thousands of words being expressed in the above painting would remain unheard without the viewer's knowledge of the New Testament. Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" is clearly a scene taken from its pages, but we only know this because it has been pointed out to us countless times. Imagine we'd grown up in a society devoid of Christianity and the story of Christ, and were then presented with this painting for the first time. We might get a sense of awe and history from it - but the story it tells would never extend beyond our own imagination extrapolating upon the title. The symbolic relevance of various facial/hand expressions and particular positions of the disciples at the table, relative to Jesus, would probably never be fully appreciated. In short, the story encoded into the scene by the painter would not be perceived by the viewer unless they were familiar with the source material from which it was inspired.

The above annotated version was taken from taughtbydegree.wordpress.com, who's author is a Freemason. The annotations reveal an esoteric symbolic layer to the painting, which can only be fully appreciated by those versed in Astrology. Since many Christians seem to believe Astrology is "the work of the Devil," they likely would never have heard of this at all, or would not take the time to consider the symbolism's validity. Therefore, this aspect of it remains invisible to most, just as the story it tells of Christ remains unknown to those in our hypothetical alternate universe who have never heard of the New Testament.

Why would a Freemason be so quick to perceive coded astrological symbolism within such a painting, while the average Christian would not? No, it's not because Dan Brown is required reading in Masonic Lodges! It is Because Freemasons are part of an old tradition of "mystery schools," of which Da Vinci was also very likely a member, in one form or another. With this in mind, consider the Freemasonic symbolism embedded within the recent Star Wars films.

If you've read my previous blogs on the latest Star Wars trilogy, it should be very obvious by now how blatantly the Freemasonic Square and Compass appears "covertly" within many of the promotional images. What this indicates is that the individual(s) ultimately producing these films are either Freemasons, or they want to give people a reason to believe they are. Why?

The above image with the Emperor's head just below the center of the "X" is, in a way, a spoiler referencing the final battle in the film, where Rey "crosses" 2 lightsabers in order to destroy him. There is something being said here about this point where the lines "cross." An X is, after all, a form of cross - sometimes known as the cross of Saint Andrew in the Christian context.

The X, as a symbol, holds profound symbolic meaning in both Freemasonry and ancient Egyptian mysteries. Ultimately, the X or CROSS probably is an ancient reference to the sun's crossing over the horizon, as it sets in the west. It then rises again [crosses over from below, to above the horizon] in the east, and is "born again." There is also the larger yearly scale of the sun's journey along the ecliptic, from it's gradual "fall" across the equator in late September, to it's lowest point along the Tropic of Capricorn. It is then "born again" in December, as it begins it's trip back towards the Northern hemisphere, "passing over" the equator in SPRING along the way, ushering in Summer as it reaches it's summit along the Tropic of Cancer in June.

[Roman "Chi-Rho" cross of Constantine]

Constantine I [aka "Constantine the Great"], was a Roman Emperor who ruled between AD 306 and 337. He is essentially responsible for legalizing Christianity and the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church. Before this, Rome was a pagan society who worshipped the sun and planets. Given this, Constantine is obviously an extremely important person in Roman Catholic history. A bit about the Cross of Constantine:

According to Eusebius in ‘Life of Constantine’, in which Eusebius writes a favourable biography of the emperor, Constantine sees something in the sky. In 312 A.D. at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, which was essentially a battle between Emperor Constantine and Maxentius over the throne of Rome, Constantine looked up to the sun before the battle and saw a cross of light above it, and with it the Greek words - “Ἐν Τούτῳ Νίκα”, meaning ‘in this sign, conquer’, which is often rendered in to the Latin version - “in hoc signo vinces”, which means in this sign, you will conquer. Constantine then commanded his troops to adorn their shields with a Christian symbol, ‘chi-rho’ (XP) which are the first two letters of ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ which is Greek for Christos. - Medium.com

Notice how the name "Chi-Rho" is similar in pronunciation to Kylo. The Chi-Rho is a symbol for Rome's presumed "divine authority" to enforce "God's" plan [which seems like it was more of a political decision - to "unite" paganism with Christianity, and rule them both from the Vatican]. I have emphasized the symbolic relavance of Kylo Ren's cross shaped lightsaber in previous blogs, and the anti-Christian symbolism of it. Seems to me this fits perfectly with the history behind the Chi Rho, and is certainly suggestive - especially given Palpatine's obvious "Dark Pope" countenance.

Notice references to an "Emperor" and a battle for "the throne" in the description above from medium.com. The last battle between the Emperor and Rey/Kylo occurs before a dark throne, which the Emperor encourages Rey to take. Rey then appears to defeat the Emperor using an X-shaped cross of light! Note above the association between "the sun" and this "cross of light." Recall "the Last Supper" again, featuring 12 disciples [12 signs/houses of the zodiac] clustered around Jesus [the SON/SUN of God]. What's going on here with all of these religious references and occult symbols?

We see this same motif of the square and compass, but also an emphasis on the X/Cross in the above promotional images. Notice that Rey is actually looking directly at the center of the cross - where the two points meet. We can't see Kylo Ren's eyes. Is he looking at us? Something is being said here covertly, about this point where the lines cross each other. A red/yellow sun shines brightly behind Kylo Ren. Is that a blue-ish 2nd sun behind Rey? We spoke of the themes of duality in previous blogs, and the deep occult significance of that. Here it is again.

What is this War of the Worlds? The above is, apparently, a Chinese version of "the Rise of Skywalker" promotional film poster, which was released in December of 2019. Obviously Star Destroyers have always had this pyramid-esque shape to them - but here it is really being emphasized [with a little help from my yellow annotations]. Since these pyramids are all floating, and seem to be staring down on the battlefield, I am going to guess these are supposed to represent capstones. That is, the very top of pyramids, as we are looking up at them. What do you suppose this symbolizes, given what we know about the hierarchical structure of the "Illuminati Pyramid?" To me, this symbolizes the aggressive mobilization of the upper elite in society, coming out to lay the land to waste for good - or to ensure opposition remains strong within the populace. This is particularly disturbing when we consider "Rise of Skywalker" came out the same month the Chinese Wuhan Virus [aka Coronavirus] was released into the population. Is this poster telling us something about the larger forces that may have been behind the creation/spread of the virus, by putting so many of these pyramids in the sky of the Chinese version of this poster during the month infections began? There are star destroyers in other promotional posters from this film, but none suggest viewing them as a cluster of pyramids as aggressively as this one does. They are a strong focal point of the image, whereas in most others, they are background images.

Also worth noting, Kylo Ren's lightsaber which is tilted to form an X here. X, X, X, what is it with the X?

Here we have what many consider to be the main promotional image for "The Rise of Skywalker." First off, proportions and perspective are all over the place. Kylo Ren is the furthest away, yet his head is larger than everyone else. He duels with Rey on the bottom right - in front of everyone else, yet they are depicted the smallest. Finn is behind Chewbakka, yet his head is as big as Chewbakka's head and upper torso combined. Janna and her horse are little taller than C3PO, though they appear to be standing almost side by side. Everyone is staring a different direction, and nobody really seems to be looking at the same thing. Perhaps most odd, Rey blocks a giant lightsaber half the thickness of her head, which doesn't appear to have any beginning or end to it! In addition to the warping of perspective, there is a curious warping of depth as well here. As eye catching as all of this is, it almost seems messy. Too busy or something.

Hard as I tried, I could not locate a definitive square and compass in this picture. In fact, the image seems to toy with the person looking for it! The giant lightsabers grab your eyes initially, but are hopelessly angled to never resemble a perfect square and compass. When lines appear to cross, they do so awkwardly, and are not exact. The only place I thought there might be one, was right where Rey's head is. The Millennium Falcon almost seems to provide a lower triangle, to meet an upper triangle. But trust me, there are no straight lines forming a square and compass in there, though it does look like there may with the naked eye. Kylo Ren's eye covered in this very spot definitely toys further with the amateur sleuth searching for occult symbols. But no, this poster is much more sophisticated than that. It is worth noting though, that Kylo Ren stares at the viewer. I believe he is supposed to be a reflection of YOU, and that is why he is the largest. He is telling you something. By having one eye concealed, he is not saying "this is where the square and compass is!" What he is actually saying is, "you are only looking at HALF the picture. An entire half is missing!" By the time you are done reading this, there will be absolutely no doubt this is true.

If we step back and ask, "what sticks out the most here?" For me, it was the overly large reddish lightsaber. So I asked myself, what if I follow that lightsaber off of the page? Then I noticed the body language of Zorii Bliss. She is aiming both guns at the two lightsabers. Not to shoot them, but to say, "follow these!"

Observe the X Wing Fighter [there's that X again]. The left side of the "X" forms a V, which seems to mimic the larger V of the two giant lightsabers. This is an incomplete X, so the X wing seems to be hinting that there is another half to the right. Notice also that "big" Rey is staring at something to her right we cannot see. The Sith ship chasing the X wing has wings which seem to POINT, as if to say, "focus on that thing!"

Tiny Rey touches Zorii's leg with the tip of her lightsaber. Zorii touches Rey's larger lightsaber with BOTH the tips of her guns. She is POINTING at these larger lightsabers, drawing attention to them. Finally, the smaller Kylo Ren uses his cross shaped lightsaber to POINT at the spot where the 2 larger lightsabers cross [the horizontal green line I placed there will have significance later, but for now note that it is about level with the point of Kylo Ren's lightsaber].

Following the straight lines of these lightsabers to the right reveals a large X, which is centered exactly where the image is cropped. What is emerging from behind this large X? At first, I thought it looked like a reddish planet - but is more oval shaped than perfectly circular. There is a subtle whirling motion we get from the curved light emanating in the center, which both of the little Kylo Rens now seem to be emphasizing with the cross points - almost complimenting the "sun wheel" effect. The platform on which little Kylo/Rey battle seems to have been destroyed by this emerging planet/whirling object. Could this be a reference to the Planet X, which was somewhat alluded to in my earlier blog covering "the Force Awakens?" Another name for Planet X is "Nibiru."

Nibiru (also transliterated Neberu, Nebiru) is a term in the Akkadian language, translating to "CROSSING" or "point of transition"...In Babylonian astronomy, the term Nibiru (in cuneiform spelled dné-bé-ru or MULni-bi-rum) refers to the equinox and the astronomical objects associated with it. - Wiki

This all seemed pretty revelatory to me at first, but I could not shake the nagging feeling that this was a large riddle which was as yet unsolved. What is big Rey looking at? I tried a couple other arrangements, hoping for something a bit more blatant and indisputable.

The reason I knew immediately that our poster was designed to be lined up this way, is because of the details it reveals vertically, directly where the 2 images connect. These details are not revealed properly unless the two images are cropped very neatly and accurately - and magnified at the proper resolution [I saved these at 300dpi].

If you look just below the center where the lightsabers meet, you'll see a pyramid shape. This is a hat, worn on the head of what looks like a bearded wizard. We're going to zero in on this, and see what else is revealed at the bottom/center of the image.

This is the very bottom/center of the last image you saw. The center is exactly where the two posters are cropped together. Who the hell is that? Exactly half of this thing's face is on the left side of the poster and on the right. It only forms a full face when the images are cropped together this way and magnified. You may not notice it right now, but there are also at least 3 tiny demonic faces running up and down the center of this image, in addition to the saggy face.

Adjusting the contrast reveals different details, highlighting what I mentioned earlier about the depth and proportion being messed with in this image.

If you look to the right of the green #1, that is the left eye of a giant smiling pig face! Just above number 2 is his left nostril. To the left of the #2 is the left side of the pig's giant grin. To the right of #2 you can now see more clearly in the shadows, a sort of "totem pole" of demonic shapes [we will see much clearer examples of this later]. To the left of number 3 is what I call the "Ronald McDonald Lizard Goblin face." You can clearly make out its eyes, fangs, demonic/clown-like grin, pointy Goblin ears, and the outline of a hairdo that reminded me of Ronald McDonald. He's also got a cross around his neck.

Now, if you think you saw a mouse face for a second, well you did! Not necessarily a "true to life" mouse face, but a cartoon rendition, somewhat in the tradition of Mickey Mouse - but with bulging eyes. The nose is about where the cross is, and the right ear is directly to the left of the #3. If you stare really close to the brighter colors, then slowly move back from the screen and focus on the darker colors, the mouse face appears more readily.

Here we can see more clearly Mr McDonald's upside down cross - a little grinning monkey face on top of it, who's head is the shape of the head of a penis! Just above that is another tiny monkey looking face, between Mr McDonald's eyes. This runs vertically along that demonic "totem pole" I mentioned earlier, which is exactly where the image is cropped. The totem pole is just a constant reminder that the image was intended to be arranged this way.

[You must click/tap on images in order to view them at the proper resolution. If you do not click/tap on them first, you may miss the finer details being pointed out]

Here we have panned up slightly higher, zoomed out a bit, and adjusted the contrast again. What you are looking at is a demonic, naked, kneeling body. To the left of #1 is a tiny head resembling some sort of grinning walrus type creature. Below the #1 is the right shoulder. To the right of #2 is the head of a penis - same one we pointed out in the last picture, at the top of the cross around Lizard McDonald's neck [which seems to form his canine-esque nose]. Below the #2 is a hand [palm down], presenting the phallus. The shaft of this phallus runs directly along the center of the page, where our totem pole reveals little demonic shapes/faces running up and down. To the left of #3 is a hand, mirroring the one on the opposite side of the cropped image - which is between 2 kneeling legs - and you can see the feet as well - towards the middle of the thighs, where they would proportionately be when someone is facing us in a kneeling position. The two hands, and positioning of the legs almost resembles a woman spreading her vigina in a porn magazine, but with a phallus instead placed between the legs.

I think it is important to briefly address the question of "why?" right now...why all of this demonic imagery and grotesque sexual reference? The short answer as I know it, has to do with these "mysteries schools" I alluded to earlier and the Freemasons. Freemasons borrow liberally from various esoteric traditions, and in ancient Egypt the phallus was big [pun intended]. There are also hints of the Knights Templars and their confessions of worshipping a head, called Baphomet, under interrogation. Mr Goblin Faced McDonald's head is placed right on top of a phallus. I don't think that was an accident!

Amid these conflicting views, all merely speculative, it will not be uncharitable or unreasonable to suggest that the Baphomet, or skull of the ancient Templars, was, like the relic of their modern Masonic representatives, simply an impressive symbol teaching the lesson of mortality, and that the latter has really been derived from the former. - my freemasonry.com

The obelisk is an ancient phallic symbol, as is the pyramid which faces upwards - in certain contexts. The sexual symbolic aspect within certain branches of Freemasonry is much more integral to their tradition than many would suppose. It is a very small leap from that mysterious sexual force within the Illuminist/Luciferian context to the allegorical "force" presented in the Star Wars films. Since Freemasonic symbolism is being heavily injected into Star Wars posters, clearly an extreme faction of Freemasons is producing them. It seems they want to use their control of mass media to shove their demented, sadistic, dehumanizing pleasures into our faces. Kind of like spiritual rape on a mass scale, where the victim is so desensitized, they are not completely aware of what they are being subjected to.

Continuing up the center of the poster, just above the point where the lightsabers meet, we find more demonic images along the center totem pole.

The head of a horned devil can be seen to the left of #1. Within this head, we see smaller demonic faces [I hate to overuse words such as "demonic" but there really is no better description of what we are looking at here!] To the left of #2 is a long horn, extending from the devil head. To the left of #3 is a small demon head, who's chin is the exact point where the X-wing fighters meet. Here you can really see why the cropping/merging of these images must be exact, in order to reveal details - and that care was taken by the designer(s) of this image to ensure these details would be revealed when properly aligned. Looks kinda like a tiny blind-folded head, just where the X-Wing tips meet. I did not number this one, but if you simply move your eyes straight up the center towards the top of the image, you will see a smiling beast with little horns, somewhat reminiscent of Jabba the Hut's Gammorean Guards. Try going close, then back up slowly to help reveal some of these details.

Just when I thought things could not get any creepier, a huge snake appeared, to the left of #1, where its right eye is. We have now solved the mystery of what Rey is looking at! This is not intended to be a "true to nature" picture of a snake, but a stylized version made to resemble a demonic [there's that word again] phallus. I mentioned in previous blogs how the serpent can be representative of the phallus. The serpent also represents wisdom, and it is crawling down from above. If you recall in the film, there are only 2 times Rey uses the Force to heal, ala Jesus. The first time is when she encounters a large wounded Serpent!

Down the center of the head of this giant serpent is another large face, conjuring a wrathful Odin motif, with smaller demonic faces running down the center.

Down by the #2 is Mr wizard man we looked at earlier, channeling the serpentine forces from above. This, if anything, probably best symbolizes what is going on here. A symbolic inversion of the serpent's path through the Tree of Life up to the crown of Kether. A pulling down of dark dualistic energies to the material plane, down into the realm of Lilith. This came up a bit in the last blog I did on "The Last Jedi."

I presented a theory earlier about a metaphorical "Planet X" emerging from behind the points where the lightsabers are meeting. We noted that it appeared to be more OVAL than perfectly circular. Now, with this snake aspect added, we have a new interesting concept to consider. Perhaps the oval object was representative of a giant egg? Anyone who has studied Crowley's Tarot deck and its symbolism for a length of time, is familiar with this concept of the "orphic egg," as it appears in many of the cards. Here is the description contained within the image above:

"THE ORPHIC EGG. The ancient symbol of the Orphic Mysteries was the serpent-entwined egg, which signified Cosmos as encircled by the fiery Creative Spirit. The egg also represents the soul of the philosopher; the serpent, the Mysteries. At the time of initiation the shell is broken and man emerges from embryonic state of physical existence wherein he had remained through the fetal period of philosophical regeneration."

Remember the green line I mentioned earlier in the above image? I traced a perfect horizontal line from left to right in this exact spot, then cropped the image below it. I then merged 4 of these and the result was, I believe, the final version of this image:

[Maltese Cross, early symbol for the Catholic Military Order Knights Hospitallers, Knights of Malta, or Order of Saint John]

The above image reinforces the X symbolism observed earlier, and then some. Chewbakka's crossbow contains a horizontal line which is reflected nearly perfectly, confirming that this is probably one way the image was meant to be cropped. If you zoom in and turn your head sideways, you will also notice more strange forms and shapes running along the horizontal crop of the image, in a similar fashion as the vertical "totem pole" observed earlier. There is much that can be said of the above, but I think you get the point by now with regard to the phalluses, snakes, pyramids, and Xs. Let's move on.

Cropping a duplicate of the image in this manner finally reveals shapes which can reasonable be assumed to form a square and compass. The upper [truncated] triangle is formed by the thicker/reddish lightsabers, while the lower is formed by the platform tiny Rey and Kylo Ren battle upon. But this is also a giant 3-D pyramid, which we are seeing from the bottom. Big Rey's blue lightsabers form 2 sides, while the platforms provide the 3rd and fourth sides - making a SQUARE - which is the shape of the bottom of the pyramid. Now we can see what Poe Dameron is shooting at. His own beam connects with itself, emphasizing the center column of the image, which forms the far side of the giant 3-D pyramid - which would actually bend inwards, forcing the viewer to warp their perspective of the beam, which bends OUTWARDS. Again, perspectives are being warped all over the place, to activate your "right brain" vision. This echoes the Chinese poster we saw earlier, where a couple of the star destroyers formed pyramids who's underside was viewable, indicating we are looking up at the bottom of them. Obviously, this means we are not at the top of the allegorical hierarchical pyramid of society, but below the tip where the all seeing eye resides.

This image reveals even more clearly, smaller details along the vertical line where the images are cropped together, confirming that the creators of this poster deliberately embedded aspects which could only be revealed when a duplicate is placed next to it. Let's take a closer look.

At the very bottom center we find an owl, with human-like eyes. The left eye is to the right of #1 if you haven't noticed already. To the left of #2 is the beak, which also has a demonic face inside of it. To the left of #3 is the owl's right ear. #4 is some silly little cartoon looking insect popping out from the top of the owl's head.

Now, we observed the "totem pole" effect in the other cropped version of this poster. Here we are seeing it much more clearly, and as I stated, this is telling you "yes, you are supposed to crop these images and place them side by side in this manner." Otherwise, why would 1/2 of all of these tiny, intricate images be sitting there along the vertical border of the poster unseen? The designers of this poster obviously know people like myself are looking for occult symbols and images, so they are GIVING them to us. Some of it is revealing, but I am also sure there is a level of mockery to it as well. Mocking the amateur sleuth looking for clues.

I don't believe this totem pole is the work of an artist per se. It seems to me someone created an algorithm, which spits out a combination of images which are fed into it in a vertical manner. Perhaps images of devils, demons, trolls, wolves, lizards, Mickey Mouse, Ronald McDonald, penises, crosses, etc are fed into the algorithm - spits them out at random, mixing features together - giving us the seemingly endless demonic shapes and cartoonish looking creatures. The larger images, such as this owl, were probably more deliberately placed.

Press "back" in order to return to the blog. If you do not do this, you may not see the finer details pointed out, or they may be very blurry.]

The owl is a known Freemasonic symbol representing the idea of "seeing in the dark," since owls are nocturnal and hunt at night. The idea of "seeing in the dark" and the "wise" connotation is appealing to Freemasonic Illuminists because it falls right in line with their allegories. This is why a tiny owl is placed on the US $1 bill, pictured above.

Some of you may have heard of the "cremation of care" ritual which allegedly takes place at Bohemian Grove in California every year. This ritual is conducted in front of a giant owl and sacrifices are either made - or are symbolically represented in their bizarre rituals. This is a story which was largely exposed by Alex Jones, as far as I know - and is what probably made him famous. Although I do not trust Alex Jones myself, the happenings at the Grove are more or less acknowledged as strange and occult at this point, by mainstream society - although details of what occurs there remain mysterious.

Scrolling up a little higher above the owl, we find a dark temple of sorts. To the right of #1 is a demonic face hanging over the entrance, which has a subtle ancient Egyptian headress. A quick glance above this reveals several phallic looking shapes. #2 looks like a tiny warrior with shield and weapon, making his way towards the temple. To the left of #3 is a silly face engraved into the top of the temple, with a sort of mustache - which also functions as a phallic symbol. As I said, these images appear to be generated randomly via some sort of algorithmic programing, along the center of the image exactly where the left and right sides are cropped together. Pyramid-esque shapes can also be seen enclosing the temple.

Scrolling up from the temple, we find what I call "demonic granny." On top of her head there is what looks like a little demonic bunny face. Can this get any stranger? I'm not going to even try and find a deeper meaning to some of these images because, as I said, I believe many of them are randomly generated just to emphasize the border of the two cropped images. Obviously, they figured while they are drawing attention to this border, they might as well make it as creepy as possible!

Scrolling up a bit further, we can see what looks like another creature from an 8-bit Nintendo video game to the right of the #1. #2 emphasizes Poe Dameron's lazer beams, which draws attention to the center column formed when the two images are cropped together properly - but if you look at the larger version of this above, it is also letting you know that this vertical line forms the back corner of the larger pyramid we pointed out earlier. This beam is also very useful in lining up the two posters side by side accurately - that is probably another reason it is there.

Scrolling up higher reveals this guy. I don't know what to call him, but he doesn't look very nice does he? We see several little demonic faces/shapes running down the center vertically, along our demonic Totem Pole.

Here at the top of the large pyramid shape, we find it appears truncated, as it was in the "Last Jedi" poster covered in a previous blog. The star destroyer at the top/center seems to resemble an eye, which is laughably fitting.

This concludes part 1 of a 2 part blog series on "The Rise of Skywalker." I'd like to end this by sort of wrapping everything up coherently, but I honestly can't. My purpose here was to simply lay it all out, provide some opinions regarding the symbolism, and just let you make your own interpretation.
