The Owl and the Spider in the Dollar Bill, the rituals, mythology and symbolism behind it.

Comments

[riznetro]

The Owl vs the Spider on the 1 dollar bill is a bunch of bull crap.  The "owl" that people think they see at the upper left hand corner of the "1" on the right hand side of the face of the bill has no meaning at all.  In fact, it is part of the repetitious web design that borders the rest of the face of the dollar.  What people call "the spiders" on either side of the "one dollar" in the middle of the dollar is just a part of the dollar's design and the apex of that particular design is what people are calling the "owl" on the border of the "1".  Unless there is something hidden deeper within the dollar, there is no hidden image.

I can absolutely agree with you that this is a bunch of bullcrap. It could be just a coincidence where the printing design just happened to land. But enough people believe in the owl and spider in the dollar and so that is what caught my attention. Did you ever ask yourself why they used a web design in a dollar bill? What does spiders and America have to do with each other. There are many forms of scrying or seeing things in patterns, like reading tea leaves or cloud formations. It is a tool to the subconscious. I am more interested in the coincidence and the mythology behind these things and the peculiarity that everyone seems to see the same thing. My curiosity lies with the people who see the owl and the people that see the spider. Does this have some secret meaning? Is this an act of suggestion. Just like the 911 stuff you get by folding the bills. Why do people think to do this stuff?  Some people even see a fat man smoking a cigar. I am not here to argue with you. I am not here to tell you this is the truth. I am just asking questions or making associations based on coincidences. I hope that you will rationally see your truth and define life by your standards and perceptions. But not everyone shares the same view. I appreciate your opinion and yes your reasoning for the owl and the spider are legitimate and probably valid. I am not saying you are wrong. I am not saying I am right. I am saying that me and thousands of other people in this country do see the owl or the spider and why do so many people see the same thing.  I also see the star trek enterprise emblem in the European coins. That doesn't mean that I believe it was intentionally put there, that is just what I see when I look at the coin. I do find it interesting that our money system is full of sacred geometry, architecture, art, music, astronomy, historic faces, allegory and mythology. Not just our money system but the whole world has their own stories and culture embedded in their exchange. Europe is named after the incident of Europa being raped by Zeus (in the form of a bull) and she gave birth to the minotaur monster. She and Bull are represented on their money.

I am intrigued by many things.  There is nothing else really meant in any of this. I don't think there is some secret agenda.

Thanks for the feedback, I always like to open up to other points of view.

It is a matter of history that many symbols are worked into the dollar bill, Benjamin Franklin being assigned to head up a committe to work on the Seal and other aspects, which took them over FOUR YEARS to complete...Obviously they put a LOT of thought into it (not just coincidence).

The image below (you must follow the link below) is taken from 'The New Age' magazine which was the official publication of the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree of Freemasonry, the most powerful Masonic organization in the America if not the world. It is now called the 'Scottish Rite Journal'. It is from April 1960 and it clearly states that the $1 note is covered in Masonic symbols and it also states "Pyramid with the Masonic All Seeing Eye"

No doubt the artist is like, "Dude, I just drew some stuff".

[Synkronos23]

Sarah,

Ben Franklin was a lover of Osirius. O Sirius O sirius..... It doesn't end at 33 degrees. I think Ben Franklin was trying to emulate Zeus or the God Jupiter..... look at his memorial. Also pay attention to twinkle twinkle little star...the old nursery rhyme, the extended version. Then think about his inventions...his rituals...and his part in our American Mythology. The Kite and Key, the Gladsen Flag...."dont tread on me". HIs Lightening rod. Why on earth would someone want to draw down the energy of the clouds or lightening. THINK THINK THINK.

Thanks for this link it is very much up my alley. I only wish the church and the Freemasons were still serving the right god.

I am proud of this country and the dissenters and libertarians that founded it in Religious freedom. The right to be free....live free...or die trying.

I hate what it has become. Change is at our door. She has her scythe.
Have a good one.

[Synkronos23]

Titus,

He probably was just drawing what he considered art. Although he was a mason...and he was trying to be a god/ruler/politician/inventor.

Can I change my occupation from priest/psychonaut to Inventor. They get such a nicer public opinion. Maybe called "mad" scientists. I want to be known as the "Glad" scientist!

[Titus]

She has her scythe? Cool.

I kind of seen her with a fish-hook, as you know.

Glad Scientist. I like that.

[Synkronos23]

well sometimes the scythe...looks like a fish scales. There was a type of sea monster that seemed to start with that too. I don't know where I get this stuff from...etymology i guess.

Fish hook or anchor...fish bones and miters....sickle/scythe....cup...too me its all the same. Melting into each other.

[Titus]

Somehow, Pastafarian Pirates are going to work into these sea analogies. But yes, absolutely.

I don't want to suggest that thelemites commited blasphemy, but if Tzaddi has become or will soon become the Sun which is my blasphemy, then what a beautiful irony that would be. From Fish to Fish-Hook.

Thats something to smile about.

The Athenian Owl tetradrachm

<<Honored in a silver coin (specifically, called a tetradrachm) that originated from Athens, for over 300 years (approx. 430 – 99 B.C.) the Athenian Owl coin was accepted everywhere as legal tender for trade and commerce. It is cited to have had a stabilization effect on the economy of the known world for it’s far reaching recognition and purity, uniformity of weight, it’s standard was accepted across borders much like the U.S. dollar has enjoyed for most of the last century.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_of_Minerva

<<The owl of Minerva is the owl that accompanies Minerva in Roman myths, seen as a symbol of wisdom because the owl is capable of seeing even in the dark and of vigilance because the owl is awake at night.

The nineteenth-century idealist philosopher G.W.F. Hegel famously noted that "the owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk" — meaning that philosophy comes to understand a historical condition just as it passes away. Philosophy cannot be prescriptive because it understands only in hindsight. He had in mind the transition from eighteenth-century feudalism to nineteenth-century commercialism and democracy.

“One more word about giving instruction as to what the world ought to be. Philosophy in any case always comes on the scene too late to give it... When philosophy paints its gray in gray, then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's gray in gray it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.”>> —G.W.F. Hegel, Philosophy of Right (1820), "Preface"

An "owl," perhaps, but certainly not a "spider."

<<The Story of Minerva & Arachne (This myth describes the birth of the spider and its web) Arachne was a very talented young peasant girl who was an excellent spinner and weaver of wool. Her talent impressed many, from the water nymphs who traveled from the creeks and rivers, to the wood nymphs from near forest areas. They would come and watch her weave the most exquisite tapestries.

One day one of the wood nymphs asked Arachne if she had been blessed by Minerva with her gift of weaving. (Minerva was the goddess of weaving and handicrafts.) Arachne laughed at the nymph's remark and replied, "Minerva has taught me nothing! I've taught myself everything I know!" She ended her remark with a challenge to Minerva. Arachne wanted to have a contest to see who should be called 'goddess of the loom.'

The nymphs covered their mouths, frightened to hear such unrespectful words about the powerful goddess of Mt. Olympus. Minerva herself was furious when word got back to her about Arachne's challenge. The goddess immediately went to Arachne's cottage in disguise and hobbled with a cane to Arachne's home. When Arachne was faced with Minerva she was shocked and annoyed with the old woman's warnings. Minerva just stood there shaking her finger at Arachne warning, and scolding her not to compare herself with the great goddess.

Arachne didn't even begin to take the old woman seriously. She responded to the old lady, "If Minerva is so great why doesn't she just come here and show me!?"

"She is here!" boomed a powerful voice, and right before Arachne the old woman changed into the goddess Minerva.

Arachne quickly became ashamed, yet she never backed down and went straight toward her doom. "Hello Minerva," Arachne whispered under her breath. "Do you dare to finally weave against me?" she said, gaining greater confidence. Minerva just glared at the girl as she walked into the cottage ready to take up Arachne's challenge. As Minerva entered the cottage, slaves dashed about setting up two looms. Then Arachne and Minerva sat down at their looms and began working. Their fingers flew back and forth as they wove a rainbow of colors.

Minerva wove a tapestry showing the twelve greatest gods and goddesses of Mt. Olympus. Arachne wove a tapestry showing not only the gods and goddesses, but their adventures as well. Then she outlined her tapestry with a magnificent work of flowers with a hint of ivy so as to not clutter the border.

It was pretty obvious who had done the best work. Arachne's tapestry was clearly better than Minerva's. They even had the goddess Envy inspect Arachne's work and even she

thought Arachne's tapestry was beautiful and flawless.

Minerva lost her temper with Envy's words. The goddess tore Arachne's tapestry and then started hitting Arachne mercilessly until Arachne crawled away barely hanging on to her life. At last Minerva decided to let Arachne live, but with some conditions. Arachne was to hang forever and weave in the air. Just before the goddess left she sprinkled magic over Arachne and the girl's hair fell out, and her nose and ears fell off as well. Her head shrank to a tiny size until she was mostly a giant belly but her fingers could still weave. Minerva had turned her into a spider. Ever since then spiders have woven beautiful webs.>>
-----------------------------------------------------------
<<Once, a mortal, Arachne, who had great talent in the field of weaving and embroidery, dared to come in competition with Minerva. Arachne's work was so beautiful that the nymphs would leave their groves to come stare at her work in awe. Arachne was so good at weaving and embroidery that some said Minerva taught her herself. Arachne denied this because she thought she was to good to be taught.

Arachne challenged Minerva when she said, "Let Minerva try her skill with mine; if beaten I will pay the penalty." When Minerva heard of the challenge, she was displeased. She made herself look like an old women and went to Arachne to give her some advice.

"I have had much experience," she said, "and I hope you will not despise my counsel. Challenge your fellow mortals as you will, but do not compete with a goddess. On the contrary, I advise you to ask her forgiveness for what you have said, and as she is merciful perhaps she will pardon you."

Arachne stopped who weaving and became annoyed and angry at Minerva and said, "Keep your counsel, for your daughters or handmaids; for my part I know what I say, and I stand to it. I am not afraid of the goddess; let her try her skill, if she dare venture.

"She comes," Minerva said as she stripped out of her costume and confessed. All the people around paid reverence to the goddess. Arachne was not terrified.

The two began their contest by first tending her station and attaching the web to the beam. Each moved rapidly. Minerva created in her web the scene of her battle with Neptune. Twelve of the heavenly powers were in the scene.

Arachne wove a picture designed to show the failings and errors of the gods. One scene showed Leda giving the swan a massage, the swan was really Jupiter in disguise. Another scene depicted Danae, in the brazen tower where her father had imprisoned her, but where the god effected his entrance in the form of a golden shower.

Minerva could not stand the insult that Arachne had weaved, so she took her shuffle and tore the weaving to peices. Then she touched Arachne's forehead to make her feel her guilt. Arachne could not stand the guilt any more so she hung herself. Minerva took pity for her and turned her into a spider to let her live.>>

[Mark]

The main characters in myths are usually gods or supernatural heroes. As sacred stories, myths are often endorsed by rulers and priests and closely linked to religion. In the society in which it is told, a myth is usually regarded as a true account of the remote past In fact, many societies have two categories of traditional narrative "true stories", or myths, and  "false stories", or fables.Myths generally take place in a primordial age, when the world had not yet achieved its current form. They explain how the world gained its current form and how customs, institutions, and taboos were established
