The essay that follows is not a simple one. It is very complex and due to that, very demanding. To write it, I personally have been preparing for quite some time. Just to mention, indeed, it is in the air for a long time, but I am trying to catch a breath in order to conceive it truly and comprehensively. This is the story where we shall see the full scale of the positive and negative forces in action. All the knowledge acquired so far about the dualistic nature of the play of Good and Evil we are involved in so deeply, will be needed now more than ever before. If there were some shadows and uncertainties before, well, they will be removed and dispelled, and all of sudden, we shall be able to see who is who in our ancient history. Apparently, as we know now, there is a link linking our ancient history with the contemporary real world, and no doubt, this text will be helpful to find out who is who just around us in present time. Indeed, in order to depict the story nicely, we have to use the present tense because the time has come we say goodbye to this dark and murky energy that was squeezing and terrorizing the world for about four thousand years. This is the minimum amount of time to be mentioned, because, the precise time interval would ask for even longer framing.

The time has come that we separate weeds from the seeds. All until now, that parable was dwelling only in some religious texts and in some spiritual concepts as well. Indeed, it was connected only with some events that did happen long ago, many thousands of years before our time, and some would imply these events do not have anything to do with us and with the contemporary world. Nevertheless, this spiritual parable, right now, it is becoming our living reality. We have to say goodbye to all those who are not willing, wishing, or who are not ready to enter on the bright stage full of light, the enlightening light that is rising us toward Eden, toward Heaven on Earth. All that we can do now is to thank them for being good testers for us so that we could develop our full potentials. This is all that we can do for them, for all those who do not want to go with us further on. The time has come for pure and innocent seeds to yield a new crop. However, only the new seed can yield a new crop. We need new knowledge, which by the way, luckily, was seeded some few decades ago, and it is ready to be the full-scale reformer of the society right at this moment. We need a new paradigm to be activated without delaying even one single fraction of the second. The new paradigm based entirely on this new knowledge is about to take over, and old knowledge, along with all old structures that are representing it, well, they are all just about to take place in some museums of ancient stuff and relics. Old stuff belongs to museums exclusively. Right?

The story in front of you is the story about one ancient queen predominantly, even though her husband, the mighty king, will be mentioned also. Their son will be included as well, however, want to highlight that point right away, this is not a happy end story. It is very sad actually. It is a sad and murky story, but how on earth it could possibly be different if we are considering the state of art accomplishments of Goddess Kali? This is basically the story of Goddess Kali, and about her masterpiece work. As we know now, Kali is just one aspect of Goddess Durga. She is also called Nirrity, then Alakhsmi, but throughout history, some other names have been associated with her as well. Some of them will be the subject of this discussion. Therefore, I am kindly informing all those who go for happy ending stories exclusively that this is not something they would supposedly enjoy very much. However, the situation is not likewise that we can run away, hide, and not consider such stories at all. No, hiding and running away will not help.1 At the contrary, it can make things worse. Perhaps, hiding and running away, that was an option before, but not anymore.

This is the story about ancient Illyrian Queen Teuta, her husband King Agron, and no-name child that was born to them but did not live long. Queen Teuta, for whose name scientists are still not sure whether it is a real name, just some alias or simply the nickname, well, she was ruling shortly, just after the death of her husband King Agron. She was ruling from 231 B.C.E. until 227 B.C.E. when she was forcefully dethroned by Romans. In fact, she was just ruling as a regent instead of her stepson Pinnes, who was the only legitimate crown prince. The death of King Agron was somewhat very mysterious to me and very suspicious after all, therefore, this will be the subject of the research of this essay as well.

1) I was always wondering if there is even a grain of truth in the story about ostriches who, while facing predators, bury their heads in the sand and pretending not to be seen? Perhaps we need to ask Australians about. However, here I did find one interesting text saying that this is all just a myth. https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonder/do-ostriches-really-bury-their-heads-in-the-sand/ 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teuta

Just to remind, we are talking about in this essay, this is the remnants of the ancient Troy. I was writing about extensively, and it would be definitely good to follow that story.2 Just to summarize in few words, the legendary ancient Troy, was in what is today Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia predominantly. That was a big kingdom actually, or perhaps even the real empire, and it was thriving for a long time, but it did have its own dramatic downfall. The city-fortress, which was the very core of the kingdom, was in the River Valley. After the fall of Trojan Empire in 1152 B.C.E., many tribes have been resettled all over Europe, however, regrouped soon, partially returned home, and formed many new small kingdoms, all on the tribal level, of course. We saw Macedonian tribe, just moving more to the south of the Europe, where they formed very strong and powerful kingdom what will lead toward the rise of Alexander the Great and consequently to his conquering of the entire world. It is true that they were rising up the Hellenistic culture, but it is important to notice the Illyrian background of ancient Macedonians. At the moment when Teuta took the kingdom, it was a little bit less than thousand years from the day of the fall of the Troy in 1152 B.C.E. If we want to be precise, it was exactly 921 years since the destruction of Troy until the starting of the rule of Queen Teuta. This is a long time indeed, and many things had happened in between. Something was already mentioned, however, as it seems, there was an idea to rise up a big Illyrian kingdom again. That is to say, many tribes were supposed to be united and unified, but this always asks for some strong personalities; a strong king warrior should be introduced because that includes many battles and many wars to be fought. No doubt, King Agron was exactly such one king. Indeed, King Argon was such one great personality. His natal chart will be discussed later on. Now it is important to note that he really did a great job, and he unified all Illyrian tribes south of the River Neretva, all until in ancient Greece.

In the years after Alexander the Great, the power and the glory of Greece was fading out easily. Romans were stepping on the stage as the new superpower. Indeed, Romans did spread their influence all over the Apennines and tried to dominate the entire Mediterranean. They just finished Punic wars, and even though they had lost some big battles because they were almost entirely smashed and extinguished, however, somehow they survived, recovered, and finally, they won over their big rivals at that time, over … the Carthaginians. King Agron occurred in the … Ardiaei tribe …, with the seat around what is today town of Metkovic in Croatia. Just in the vicinity, there was a Roman settlement … Narona …, but even much earlier, there was original Illyrian settlement there as well, whose name we do not know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardiaei

In the language, the word … ardiaei … means … heron …, the bird heron. This is a very important bit of information, because, the Troy, and all the belonging geographic area, in Homer’s epics they were strongly depicted as the bird heron territory. Interestingly, there is a contemporary city in the neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina, not far from the border with Croatia, with exactly the same name … Čapljina-Chapljina …, meaning … heron. It is obvious that the town got its own name by the bird heron. Therefore, there is no confusion about the initial seat of this tribe called Ardieai. As the real seat and center of all actions for Ardiaei tribe of Illyrians, it should be considered the valley of the River Neretva. As we know, that was the epicenter of the Trojan Empire as well, just about a thousand years ago. Even today, bird heron has its own habitation in the entire region on a big scale.

Bird heron is the origin of the name of the Ardiaei tribe from the Illyrian background. The photo was taken from … https://pixabay.com/photos/egret-herons-chicks-nest-tree-2976899/

The story of the Queen Teuta was known to me but in the very faded form. In fact, nobody knew much more. All that was known is entirely minimalistic, obscured, and in many cases … totally distorted. There are so many legends, with so many variations, and with endless uncertainties so that, to be honest, for a long time did not know what to do with this story. Perhaps I would even forget about, unless, as it always does happen that somebody is changing the story flow, well, one very good friend of mine, she was so very much persistent in reminding me on the story that I simply took it as an omen. Indeed, that was a strong indication I need to follow the Queen Teuta story very carefully. 4

When such research is being initiated, as usual, it is the must to find the natal charts, or, at least one of them, because, the natal chart of Queen Teuta is imperative. Without the natal charts, and without leaning the Vedic Astrology-Jyotish toward the History, well, there is absolutely no sense. I could only reinterpret those legends and stories, but that would be useless because I do not know much about it. Well, concerning finding the natal charts, to be honest, I’ve tried many times, but it was very unsuccessful. It was almost like mission impossible to do. Indeed, there was scarce information, but this is not all. Many stories and legends were exposed, some of them contradicting each other heavily, and in a big frustration, simply, I would have abandoned the search. It happened many times. For example, the story flow gave some strong indications she could have been Goddess Durga incarnated, better to say her very prominent form, Goddess Kali. We saw her many times in similar situations, and the fact that her husband was a very powerful king who was just about to make a strong kingdom, well, that fact was very clearly driving me in this direction. In addition, the mental profile of Queen Teuta was fitting into the frame perfectly well, because, throughout the legends, I’ve already noticed something very dark. As I was plunging deeper and deeper into the story, dark and darker elements were surfacing out. However, she was depicted as extraordinarily beautiful and wise. Even today, there is a strong memory on her especially in Dalmatia and other coastal regions of Croatia. Especially two words were used to depict her in full frame … beauty and wisdom.

Thus we possibly see Goddess Kali in action, we possibly see Vishvakarman incarnated as King Agron because in most of the cases they come together. He enlarged the kingdom, and he unified Illyrians, but then, all of sudden there is a collapse of the situation. It was logical to expect that God Vishnu himself would incarnate, and he would just continue the job of his father in order to make an even bigger Illyrian kingdom. This is exactly how it happened just little before with King Filip II of Macedon and his wife Olympias. Alexander was born, and the rest of the story we know very well. Another example, just little before the Alexander story, there was a King Cyrus the Great rising up the huge Persian Empire. Circumstances were almost the same, with the same mother and the same father. Queen Teuta was ruling in the name of her stepson Pinnes, the son of King Agron with his first wife. Teuta is the second wife of king Agron. Is this saying that Teuta actually did not have children, and this is the reason she was regent of her stepson? If she did not have kids, this is to say that God Vishnu we do not see in this situation, and therefore the complete story becomes very problematic and entirely un- understandable. As I did find along with my researches, God Vishnu when incarnating, he cannot have just any mother. As it seems, there is a deal among , his mother could be only Goddess Durga incarnated, and father God Vishvakarman incarnated. I also observed there is yet another one family God Vishnu can appear, but with this family, he cannot fly very high. It is obvious, gods did set up certain rules among themselves, and they are obliged to follow these rules. 5

Then, indeed, where is the catch in this story?

Well, it took me some time to cognize what was really going on there. The key point to decode this story came along with the work of … Marko Dragić Ph.D.…

Full Prof., Head of the Department for Literature and Culture and the head of the Module for Literature and Culture at the Postgraduate Doctoral Study in Humanities at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Split.

In his work published in 2018. under the title … Croatian Historical and Etiological Tales about Illyrian Queen Teuta …, he collected all the existing legends about Queen Teuta in Croatia and surrounding countries, which are very lively even today.3 Professor Dragić just noted down everything that local people were told him. The summary of his work we can see exposed below …

I saw many of these legends exposed in some other form as well, and on some other places, but one of them was very new, and it did attract my attention immediately. It was telling the story of how the toddler son of Queen Teuta was drowned in the small river, more like a creek, near the place … Doli, on the Island of Hvar. It is exactly that story that struck me so very much. Thus, as it seems, there was a son of Queen Teuta, but he died, or something else happened to him when he was just a baby. Indeed, that crucial moment in the entire story changed everything. More than ever before, I was wishing to see the natal charts of all the three of them; of the father, King Agron, of the mother, Queen Teuta, and of the no-name son of theirs who probably did not live long.

In fact, is it possible to find these natal charts?

Well, as always, first thing first. I think the easiest way to go is to find the natal chart of Queen Teuta. There is a set of rules to configure her natal chart, and even though she would like to stay hidden, her chart is to be configured in the easiest way. Simply, we need to find Libra-Tula ascendent natal chart with Chandra-Moon in the Punarvasu Nakshatra in the ninth house. In addition, the Navamsa and all other consequent divisional charts, including D-60 Shastiamsa, they all should be adjusted to the Libra-Tula lagna. These points should be taken into consideration … ALWAYS. This will fix the ascendant to the first degree of the Tula-Libra rasi-sign, indicating that she will have some qualities of the preceding Kanya-Virgo ascendent as well. Whenever the birth time is on the threshold point of the borderline between two signs, the person will definitely share some qualities of both signs. The prominent feature of the Kanya-Virgo sign is a connection with the medical field, healing qualities, and similar. In the past, we saw her coming very often as being connected with medicine and healing. Very probably, even today, if she would be around, she would probably be a medical doctor or similar. I mean, just speaking entirely hypothetically and theoretically. On my very big surprise, I did find the legend telling that Teuta was a daughter of medicine woman from what is today Metković, on the Neretva River in Croatia, just close to the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the vicinity, just very close, there was a very important Roman stronghold and trading center … Narona. This spot today is the seat of unique and very rich archaeological locality, which was turned to be an extraordinary museum by itself. The entire site is tuned to be

3) The work in the form of PDF document can be found at the link … https://hrcak.srce.hr/203375 6 a museum. … in situ museum …, with exquisite and astonishing artifacts.4 However, except being well known as the Roman settlement, the spot was of extraordinary importance in the preceding Illyrian times, including the fact that the legendary Troy was very close. As I already have discussed, that was exactly the seat of Ardiaei Illyrian tribe where king Agron occurred. It is plausible to believe that exactly this tribe, the Ardiaei, were the core tribe in the time of Troy. Fine, now we have an indication about her birthplace as well, and by being connected with medicine and healing, this is telling us that we are going the right direction. However, to configure the natal chart, this is still too less of data. I mean, based on mentioned combinations, options are simply endless. It is true, the mentioned combinations for her natal chart will always drive us to search around the end of August, and almost all September. This fact comes up with the experience. Fine, she became queen- regent in 231 B.C.E., but when was she born, which year exactly? That was the question pending in the air for a long time indeed. Which year exactly to search? I tried along with many approximations, but nothing worked well. Then, after reading all the legends maybe even a hundred times, all of sudden, two words were ringing the bell of alarm. Beautiful and wise ..., that was echoing in my mind for some time. Indeed, exactly mentioned combination ensured the proper answer in breaking the code of this enigma. The idea was, why not simply, along with all other previously mentioned combinations, why not to search for the additional option when Venus-Shukra, and -Guru, were within the first house? Bingo! That was the key.

Very soon, the complete natal chart crystalized, and it was proved that Queen Teuta was born on September 13, 272 B.C.E. at 5:54:24 AM of Local Mean Time for Metković in Croatia.

Here is the natal chart …

That was an amazing revelation indeed. Now we have the natal chart of Queen Teuta. What a turnover!

Right now, I am not planning to go deep into the elaboration on the natal chart itself. Many things will be declared along with the continuation of the research. Nevertheless, now we have the precise year when she was born, and that can be proved as a very essential bit of information. It will be definitely very helpful in setting the other two natal charts.

Thus, we have King Agron just next in the sequence. It is very important to define him by finding his natal chart. Now, in order to find him, King Agron, and his natal chart, we need to reconsider carefully what would be possible relationship by years to Queen Teuta herself. In many cases, they are of the same age, but this is not always the case. The legends were saying that Teuta is the second wife of King Agron, what automatically means she could have been much younger. However, how much younger? Well, just to make the story shorter, I was circling in the circle again, all until another sparkling idea flashed. In fact, in some legends, it was narrated that she, the Teuta, could have some connection with Egypt also, but not directly, and some parallels were driven instead. In Egypt, in many cases, it did happen that kings and pharaohs did marry their daughters. Even more interesting, in some legends, there was a mentioning that Teuta could have been the daughter of King Agron himself. Indeed, Goddess Kali can be linked to ancient Egypt, and she was known there as the Goddess Hathor. Oo yes, many times she occurred there. For example, even the great Queen Hatshepsut, she was Goddess Kali incarnation. In fact, I did not cover her in my researches so far. In addition, in two cases we saw here presence very clearly. She was the mother of the Pharaoh Akhenaten, a very revolutionary king who definitely changed so many things in Egypt by introducing monotheism. Yet another incarnation of Goddess Kali we saw along with the story of Pharaoh Joseph. She was the wife of the pharaoh who bought the Joseph when his brothers sold him as a slave. Thus, we saw her many times in Egypt, and she was always playing an important role. In fact, she was the one who took the commanding role always. No doubt, because, she was the wife of the evil God Set, and they took the dominance from God Osiris, God Indra, just about 2.500 years B.C.E. Well, we see now that connection of Teuta with Egypt and Egyptian tradition is very close actually. Therefore, an option that King Agron had possibly married his own daughter was very plausible to me. According to legends, it was even claimed that priesthood was very much against this marriage, because, they foresaw she could possibly be a source of many problems. This is very possible indeed. What a dramatic turn again! Thus, we have to consider seriously an option that Teuta was the daughter of King Agron. If we consider that option, then, King Agron was at least twenty years older than Teuta. Shortly, this is exactly how the natal chart of King Agron was born.

He, King Agron, was born on April 3, 292 B.C.E. at 1.13 PM LMT for Metković also.

Here is the natal chart.

Indeed, what the progress we made!? Now we already have two very important natal charts. Maybe now we can locate this no-name son of theirs as well? Well, along with some experimenting, and by deep reasoning, that code was cracked, and the appropriate natal chart decoded.

The no-name son of Queen Teuta and King Agron was born on April 3, 254 B.C.E. at 10 AM. I've taken the same coordinates, because, it is plausible that he was born exactly there in the Metković region, where the seat of King Agron and Ardiaei tribe was.

Here is the natal chart …

What a relief indeed!? Now we have all three natal charts. It will be definitely much easier to follow the complete story now. That will open the possibility for us to see all these distorted and non-true details, and to eliminate them out from any further consideration. We shall simply find the Truth about Queen Teuta. Finally!

The natal chart of a no-name son has shown that the person did not live long. Just to mention, I am using the term … no-name son …, because, we really do not know his name. His existence was hardly mentioned, but the name was not mentioned at all. As always, she, the mother Teuta, was very keen to erase all pieces of evidence and clues about what really did happen there. Thus, the no-name son departed around June 16, 254 B.C.E., very probably in the … Sa-Sa-Bu-Ch-Sa … planetary period. Just about a little bit more than one year before, around February 27, 255 B.C.E., prince Agron married his daughter Teuta. The marriage did happen in … Sa-Sk-Gu-Ma … planetary period, seeing from the natal chart of Teuta. He, the Agron, was not yet a king at that time. He became king in about 250 B.C.E. Thus, the first wife of Agron was the mother of Teuta actually. She must have been that medicine woman from Metković, what the legends do mention. How did she finish, well, we do not know that because none of the legends tells that? However, from the existing three natal charts, that fact could be seen with great precision. This I leave for others to find out.

From the natal chart of a no-name son, we find out that Shukra-Venus is afflicted very much. In the main chart, as well as in many divisional charts we find it debilitated, in very low dignity. It is debilitated either by being placed in the Kanya-Virgo rasi, or by sitting within the own nakshatra, which also brings strong debilitating dignity to Shukra-Venus. In this natal chart, Shukra-Venus denotes mother. In addition, the Surya-Sun is debilitated in the moment of the birth of the child, and that will all turn the situation toward a bad ending. Surya-Sun is Marak planet, same as Sani-Saturn, but the final killer in this situation is Ketu actually. This is just the opinion of mine, of course. This is a very complex situation indeed and should be considered and discussed separately.

One thing is for sure, the baby did not survive. The natal chart was possible to be configured only because of one fact; it was Vishnu’s incarnation line considered. This kind of situation never happened before. I mean, the situation that Vishnu incarnated would die as a baby. His mother was always attentive and mindful. However, it happened that she kills him many times actually, but when that happens, it happens in some later phase, when the son is already adult. It was usually happening after he made a big kingdom or empire, and then, because she is Goddess Kali, she wanted to turn everything on the negative side. Thus, she will kill her son without hesitation. Oo yes, it did happen many times. Perhaps we did not consider such cases so far but believe me, they could possibly come in our consideration very soon. Finally, regarding this case of Teuta and her no- name son, we can drive out only one conclusion. She did murder him in this early stage only because of one reason. She did not want this big Illyrian kingdom to happen, and she murdered her son who was Vishnu incarnation. She murdered him when he was just a little baby. She did not want a big kingdom of Illyrians to rise again like a phoenix from ashes. She did not want Rome to have some big, strong, and powerful competitor in the vicinity. This is telling something else actually. It is telling us that her negative oriented companions were in power within Rome itself, and she did not want to change anything. Goddess Kali, she protects darkness and negatives, she is of conservative attitude. She is always ready to block any progress. She will always try to obscure and to diminish the light. She is the queen of Asuras. In order to accomplish her mission, she will not hesitate even to murder her own son, who was just a small baby by the way.

Well, there in Rome, she was known as Goddess Venus, and just as legend has it, she was the protector of Rome. Oo yes, how truthful that is. Just to remind, the initial Rome was established by Hector of Troy, alias … Aeneas. Along with his troops, after escaping from the destruction of the Troy itself, they established Rome. No doubt, in the beginning, he was carefully balancing positive and negative energy within Rome. However, as it seems, not for a long. The descending cycle of the Dwapara Yuga, along with very soon introduction of the Kali Yuga in around 700 B.C.E., well, all that was gradually giving advantage to the Asuras, to the negative asuric energy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(mythology)

Well, this is so typical signature of Goddess Kali. I already have mentioned her appearances in Egypt as Goodes Hathor. She was known in other cultures as well. In Jewish texts, she appears as Lilith. She was known in 10

Mesopotamian cultures, in Assyria and Babylon especially, where she was a ruling . There she was known as … Ereshkigal. However, she was very often mixed up with Mesopotamian goddess … Inanna … and later … Ishtar …, who was actually incarnated Goddess Parvati. In fact, we shall see quite often that Kali is hiding behind Parvati. In her disguise and pretending nature, and along with her lolling tongue, she goes so far that in many texts, even in the texts of Vedic origin, she was shown as the wife of Shiva. This a very disturbing lie by the way, because, she is not the wife of Shiva. The wife of Shiva is Parvati, and she is considered as the one and only Queen of Heaven.

Regarding mixing up Inanna-Ishtar with Ereshkigal, I had my own wanderings as well. No doubt that there is a big confusion when everything is mixed up so much in all the literature. The magnitude of this very big dilemma, we shall see exactly from the next coming example.

There is an archaeological find from Mesopotamia region of clay tablet-terracotta plague, depicting a nude woman with wings and several others very interesting symbols. It was named … Burney relief. It is named after Sydney Burney, a British art and antiquities dealer, who was first in the chain claiming the possession, but now it is placed in the British Museum in London. It is also being called … The Queen of the Night. This name is very important because it will lead us toward the identity of the deity shown by this figure. In fact, a big debate among scientists is going on about who is depicted in this terracotta plague. This is a very interesting story indeed, and I suggest we also give very special attention. It may give some answers we are searching for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burney_Relief

There is a very particular article exposed in … Ancient Origins … magazine, talking about this topic in details, and I suggest we focus on it for a while. https://www.ancient-origins.net/artifacts-other-artifacts/burney-relief-0011860

The Burney Relief is shown right here …

The photo was taken from … https://www.ancient-origins.net/artifacts-other-artifacts/burney-relief-0011860 The Burney Relief discovered in Mesopotamian is dated between 1800 and 1750 BC. (Flickr upload bot / CC BY-SA 2.0 ) 11

Indeed, scientists and researches are still in the deep debate who is represented on this tablet. Because there are wings attached to the figure, they say it is obvious she must be a deity. Fine, deity, but which one? There are other symbols as well, like two owls for example. The owl is a symbol of knowledge, but of the night as well, because, they operate during the night exclusively. This is for sure so immediately it comes that we have some connection with some dark deity, which also operates during the night and seeks for the protection of darkness. After all, that is the reason it got the name … the Queen of the Night. There are other symbols as well. The figure is associated with two lions. Well, this symbol we can understand fully only if we look among Vedic . Who is there associated with the lion, and who is always shown riding on a lion or perhaps on tiger sometimes? This is Goddess Durga, isn’t she? Thus, we have a strong link to Vedic Goddess Durga, who is actually the Goddess Kali, the Queen of the Night. Everything fits perfectly well. The complete tablet was colored originally, and based on some remaining pigments, scientists tried to reconstruct the true image, and that is shown below …

The female figure is nude, and that means something as well. I think this is connected to Kali’s obsession with feminine beauty. She always wants to be the most beautiful women of all. We see confirmation of that fact true her natal chart. Shukra-Venus is dominating her natal chart always. The main natal chart and all sub-divisional charts are centered on the Libra-Tula ascendent, ruled by Shukra-Venus. No doubt, that she is always coming as a very beautiful, charismatic, and extremely attractive woman. However, this is her weapon actually. She will be seductive to the extreme, and she will use that gift and that power to rule over others, man or women, it does not matter. No wonder that Shukra-Venus is very often debilitated in her natal chart and that means only one thing, only lower vibrational levels of the energy of Shukra-Venus will be exposed in her personality. That includes high promiscuity, morally questionable relationships, seducing to attract in her murky network, and many, many other things, which are better not to be mentioned. This is Goddess Kali. From Vedic texts, we also 12 know that Goddess Kali is defined as the wrath of Goddess Durga, and this is how we come to the very origin of this energy. Goddess Durga is a very important deity in Vedic Patheon, and her most common depiction, we can see at the following illustration …

Goddess Durga. Photo … download from Pinterest-deviyogaforwomen.com

It is clear, she is warrior goddess, fierce by nature, but righteous, they say. This last statement can be very questionable, by the way. As she was defined as the deity on the extreme negative wing, this feature, her truthfulness, we need to question always. No doubt, without her, many things would not work from the evolution point of view. Again, I want to repeat the basic idea, and my personal opinion, that all is just a game, and without negative element in the game of dualistic principles, the show cannot go on. However, her methods, her mental profile, and her doings, well, that can all be questionable for all those who are inclined toward light and truth. This can be particularly highlighted in the extremely dark ages as the one we just left behind. She, Goddess Durga as Goddess Kali, can accumulate such extreme negative energy that even she will lose the compass. Thus, put simply, apparently we are very certain about who is who in the Samudra Manthan, the eternal quest for the ultimate truth. This is the basic axis that all the Veda and all the Vedic knowledge is revolving around. Churning the Ocean of Milk and finding the amrita, the elixir of immortality, this is actually a metaphor for finding the ultimate Truth. Goddess Durga is the wife of God Vishvakarman, sometimes called Vritra also, who is the king of Asuras. He is the king and commander in chief of the Lunar Dynasty. Thus, when mentioning Goddess Durga, by being the wife of Vishvakarman, we need to have her asuric origin in mind always. Asuras are testers of Suras. This is their job. Just this, to be testers, and nothing else. Fine, we all have a right to choose with whom we fly, but we also have a right to know the complete story. One can choose properly only if knowing all the elements of the game. Therefore, all options should be on the table, and then people are 13 free to choose. However, this is not the way of function of Asuric side. They will enjoy the ignorance of the people, low vibratory level, darkness, hiding, and therefore disguising will be their basic weapon in order that they can accomplish manipulations of a different kind. Nevertheless, they will do that only to the level we allow them to do. That is the reason that Goddess Kali is depicted having a string of skulls around her waist. Indeed, she will trick people with all possible tricks that we even can hardly imagine. All those who fall on spells and tricks of Goddess Kali, well, they are just about to book and reserve their places among her victims.

We can take the view from another side also. We have to do that if we want to keep that minimum of objectivity. As I mentioned, her job is not an easy job. It never was. It is very likely that nobody among the gods did want to take this duty and this agenda. Somehow, the choice has fallen on Goddess Durga. All other gods and goddesses quickly gave her the best gifts they could possibly imagine at that moment; just to please her in order to accomplish such a difficult mission. We have to be objective, and we need to say that very clearly. That is the reason I like the above-exposed illustration of Goddess Durga so very much. It is depicted what she received as a gift, and from whom. She has many hands, and this is quite a common motif in depicting gods and goddesses. Many hands, this is usually a metaphor and symbol for all-mightiness, and we see that associated with many devatas indeed.

Another very important symbolism here is the presence of the lion. Lion, but sometimes tiger also, is the symbol of Royalties. We see that very nicely exposed in many antic artifacts. Here is the one …

Thus, along with this beautiful illustration of the Goddess Durga, we immediately notice several very important details for the true understanding of the Burney Relief. It is very important to note what Goddess Durga is holding in her hands. The right upper hand holds discus or ring; this is the discus of justice given to her by Vishnu himself. The same kind of ring or discus we see in the right hand of the female deity exposed on the Burney Relief. In addition, in the same hand, Mesopotamian goddess holds some kind of stick, and I think that should be the sword, the sword of discrimination. The same goddess, along with another hand, the left hand, holds kind or ring and stick also. I think that should be considered as the bow and arrow, just the same as with Goddess Durga. For me, there is absolutely no doubt that the model for the Burney Relief was actually … Goddess Durga. This is in tune with my theory that all Mesopotamians cultures, like Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Mitanni, and some other as well, they are all offshoots of the Vedic Civilization on the Indian subcontinent. However, obviously, understandings, interpretations, and appropriate depictions, they were fading out. The knowledge was gradually descending, because, as we know, that was descending phase of the cycle of yugas, of the world ages.

Consequently, there is only one conclusion coming out for interpreting properly the Burney Relief. This is Goddess Durga incarnated as Goddess Kali, and her Mesopotamian name was … Ereshkigal. The other name exposed for the female figure on this relief is … Queen of the Night …, and this is very proper naming as well.

14

Most probably, the plague was arranged and used for worshiping and for veneration. We know that in Assyria she was even officially the highest deity among all. No doubt, Asuras were worshiping her Goddess Kali.

The confusion and mix up between Ereshkigal and Inanna-Ishtar was partially due to ignorance and fading of Vedic knowledge, but partially due to the intentional and targeted disguising of Kali to be like Parvati and to take her place. She uses to camouflage herself in order to achieve her aims. Due to that reason, very often she will introduce her as the wife of God Shiva as well. This is not true. The only and the true wife of Shiva is Parvati, and due to that, she is the Queen of Heaven. Parvati is the only and the indisputable Queen of Heaven. I must say that I myself was confused very much, and in some previous writings of mine was mixing them up. Will need to correct all such places very soon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna

However, along with this confusion, we learned something else. In the story of Burney Relief, in some places, the fact was exposed that Queen of the Night could be confusingly mistaken for The Queen of the Heaven. Indeed, in some places, they were introduced as sisters. This is not true also; they are not sisters. They just represent two very different goddesses, and one has a habit to introduce herself as another. We also learned something else. In some stories, it is said that Queen of the Night is stripping down the dress of Inanna-Ishtar, in order to be nude, what is to say to deprive her of her rights. However, this is happening only when Inanna- Ishtar comes down to the underground world. Well, finally we can understand now that expression … underground world … fully. This is actually a metaphor. This is the metaphor for the Kali Yuga, for Dark Age of the world ages, for the Iron Age. This is when the cycle of the world ages goes down so much that everything is turned to the negative side. This is the time of ruling of the Queen of the Night, she became kind of boss so to say. And this is exactly what she is, she is very bossy.

In the already mentioned article from Ancient Origins Magazine, there is a beautiful photograph exposed as well, depicting Inanna-Ishtar's descent into the Underworld. This is the modern interpretation, by the way, …

The photo was taken from … https://www.ancient-origins.net/artifacts-other-artifacts/burney-relief-0011860 A modern illustration depicting Inanna-Ishtar's descent into the Underworld, some believe she is the entity represented on the Burney Relief. (Fæ / Public Domain ) 15

There is another very interesting article found along with Ancient Origins Magazine, and it is called exactly this way … The Descent of Inanna into the Underworld …, and it is exposed with the link … https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/descent-inanna-underworld-5500-year-old-literary-masterpiece-007296

Thus, Mesopotamian Inanna, or Ishtar, is Vedic Goddess Parvati, the Queen of Heaven. However, when dark age comes, during the last centuries of Dwapara Yuga, and especially along with the Kali Yuga from about 700 B.C.E onwards, all until 1700 C.E., well, things become not so easy for her.5 Kali will try to force Parvati out from any story. She, Goddess Kali, will try to do that, but it is not that she will be entirely successful always. Goddess Parvati is the representative of the highest Good, and good guys are not supposed to give up and to leave everything to bad guys. If we leave everything to bad guys, well, we know exactly what will happen. They will destroy the pattern of the Evolution, and this is what nobody wants. Therefore, we do understand and we do accept negative energy and negative force, but only to the limit, just to be our testers, nothing else. Negative energy is the energy of lower vibrations, and nobody wants to go lower, nobody wants to go backward in Evolution instead of going and evolving forward. Always forward, and always higher in the spiraling Evolution, this is our aim. Nobody wants to go further away from the Source. Nobody. Well, if some bad guys have some obstructions in thinking and seeing the true reality, if they have some shadows over their minds, and if they lose the compass and start to go backward, fine, this is their right. They have the right to choose what they want. However, good guys have the right to kick their ignorant manipulative ass in all such cases, and to remove them out from the game. And this is finally always happening. Always. Especially now when we are entering the world age full of light. This is when the complete change will happen. Actually, it is just happening right now. Dark forces lead by the Queen of Night will be fading out from the scene. Gradually and easily, we shall need them less and less. It is perhaps time for them to enter some seed form and wait for their time to come again along with some other dark age, who knows when in the future. This is all very natural by the way. The pendulum of time will help each polarized group, will help positives and negatives, but not at the same time. At once, only one side can be benefited. Now we see the light around us everywhere, just a brilliant light. The time for bad guys has run out. The Game is over.

Well, this conclusion automatically means something else as well. It means this is the time for Inanna-Ishtar, for Goddess Parvati, to apparel the dress again, and to come out from the Underground world. She is supposed to step on that brilliant stage full of light. If she would be around on some miraculous way, just hypothetically speaking, most probably she would know that it is her time coming. It is time now for her to choose the finest, the nicest, and the most beautiful dress, and to enjoy that brilliant light of the Age of Enlightenment. Therefore, the previously mentioned modern illustration of Inanna taking off her dress and entering the Underground world, should be understood in a different way. Because this is modern depiction, and as it is obvious that right now, dark forces and the Queen of the Night are leaving the stage, and that Queen of Heaven is just about to step on the stage, therefore, this depiction should be considered as Inanna who is putting her dress on. However, even though she did spend some time by not being in the main role, it is not that she is entirely not known to us. We know her from Greek tradition as … Goddess Athena …, beautiful and gorgeous young woman. We know her from Egyptian tradition as … Goddess Nut …, where she is also depicted as the Goddess of the Sky. We know her from Roman tradition as well as … Goddess Minerva. She is part of the holy triad. Some would say that her name, as well as the deep veneration o her among Romans, are coming from Etruscan … Goddess Minrva … actually. Well, Etruria and the Etruscan culture, we shall touch soon in some other essays. Whatsoever, along with all traditions, she was depicted as a gorgeous young woman, the symbol of feminine beauty, but all attributes are always on the highest dignity level. Her beauty and attractiveness, they are always of decent background.

I think we have to turn back to the Queen Teuta finally. She went aside for the moment, but just because of the need to expose all these facts in order to understand better the entire story of what did happen in Illyria about her time. Because we see now that Queen Teuta is that Goddess Kali incarnated.

Now I will make the finale, the conclusion of what happened there in Illyria once upon a time.

5) The duration is 2.400 years exactly, what is equal to two times of 1.200 years, the duration of descending and ascending cycle of the Kali Yuga, which are coming just one after another. 16

Remember, just one incarnation before she was Olympias, she was the mother of King Alexander the Great. She actually becomes his wife in a certain stage, what she likes to be very much. She likes to be Vishnu’s wife very much. That fact was seen and confirmed by some cases and some situations already. However, she plays her role, her game, and that is always a negative side game, she will work for the negative side. Thus, as much she liked to be Alexander’s wife, she did not like what he had done. Alexander brought a huge amount of knowledge, true Vedic knowledge, from India, and he established awesome canter of knowledge just there in Alexandria in Egypt. He collected, synthesized, compiled, and put together all the knowledge of that time, but also knowledge of ancient Egypt. Alexandria was that bright lighthouse of that time. However, not only that, because, Alexander, finally dethroned that very secretive but very powerful priesthood of Egypt working for dark agenda exclusively. He finished the job, which Pharaoh Akhenaten started long ago. Therefore, Teuta was afraid very much that he would do the same in Illyria, after rising the big kingdom there again. The big Kingdom, just as it was the Troy once upon a time. Indeed, as it seems, that was the plan. They are coming right at the same place where ancient legendary Troy was, and they are just in the process of establishing a strong kingdom. However, she, Teuta, she had a different plan. She will destroy everything. At first, she will commit could-bladed murder on her few months old baby son, the incarnated God Vishnu, and then she will remove from the scene her husband-father, mighty king Agron, who already made a great kingdom, but only half of it, let’s say so. As it seems, that was a classical vengeance. Of course, she will play the victim in all cases, so that among people she looked like a hero actually. In the last stage, by her completely stupid and undiplomatic way of ruling, what was all intentional by the way, she will deliver the Illyrian Kingdom to the Romans. What a plan? What a diabolic plan? Well, it seems it worked well at that time. The cycle of yugas was descending and approaching toward the negative peak, the darkness was all permeating. That was her time, the time of Goddess Kali. Nevertheless, it will be just very interesting to see how Vishnu himself will react on that, and what will be his answer. However, this is the story for some other essay, or maybe few.

Experts said that the Illyrian tribe Ardiaei does not exist anymore. They disappeared from the scene along with several failed rebellions against Romans in the aftermath of the story of the Queen Teuta. Kind of sad story indeed, but as it seems, this is the fact. Only through legends of Queen Teuta, and along with the association with bird heron, we have some memories on them, on legendary Illyrian ethnic group called Ardiaei. This is also telling another thing, the dance with Goddess Kali quite often can be extremely dangerous and fateful.

There were some indications even from the very superficial legends that something is odd in this story. Some legends did narrate that she was enjoying lewd life. As well, there were some indications, that she was involved in poisoning her husband, King Agron, just in the moment of the biggest triumph of his. The cup with poisoned wine was given to him by her, by his wife Queen Teuta. However, later on, it was deduced that she did not know, and her very possible lover, army general Demetrius, who openly changed the side by escaping to the Romans, he was accused of poisoning the king, but not her. However, that was all her plot. Not to mention already exposed fact of murdering her own baby son. It is amazing how she managed to come out from those situations by not being harmed at all. The story has it that she made suicide after being defeated by Romans, however, based on all what was seen, I doubt that. I seriously doubt she finished this way. It can easily be that she just disappeared from the scene, just by changing the identity, in order to enjoy the rest of her life somewhere else. Nevertheless, the truth we shall find out very soon. There are no secrets anymore.

The story about Queen Teuta can give us the final clue of who was behind the destruction and the downfall of the Troy itself. I left this question open while writing the essay about Troy, however, now we gathered additional knowledge, and we cognized who is who among devatas. We find Goddess Kali there as Hecuba, the wife of King Priam. Therefore, it was she, the Hecuba, by using the Greek beauty Helena as her instrument, who destroyed the Troy and the entire high post-Vedic civilization behind. However, that was just the sign that the pendulum of time was swinging to the negative side. Higher cultures were falling down just one after another, for new to be raised up, but much lower in consciousness and achievements. Indeed, the cycle of yugas was inevitably approaching the Kali Yuga. The downfall of Troy did happen about 450 years before the Kali Yuga starting, and now we are roughly at the same point, but after the Kali Yuga. Thus, if we look at the sine curve of the cycles of yugas, we are now just in the opposite point, what is to say, it is the time now for bright things exclusively. In addition, we have this global ascension as the wind in the sail, and this is heralding only more 17 light to come. It is time for climbing up in consciousness, and to use Vedic attributes again. There is beautiful sunshine all over, and we are all just about to rejoice such a tremendously beautiful time.

The End
