There is a secret I want to share with you that very few people know about.  There are numerous early Christian paintings depicting Jesus with short curly hair, clean shaven, and a wand in his hand.

When I first saw these paintings my eyes nearly popped out of my head.  I remember as a Christian being told that magic (or magick) was evil and the occult was something very dangerous.  But here it is, Jesus using a wand to perform his miracles.  How could this be?

Before I go any further on this subject it is necessary to take a look at Osiris to better understand where the idea of using a wand came from.   Most of us understand Osiris to be a god, a human-like being, and this is one way he was portrayed.  But according to William Henry, Osiris is also portrayed as a Pillar, Device or World Tree.  In other words, Osiris was a device used by the ancient Egyptians. 

The Osiris device was a technology and symbol for a whole host of sciences.  The Egyptians called Osiris a ladder or stairway to heaven.  The pharaoh served food to Osiris as a sacrifice and what’s interesting is the sacrifice never included blood, animals, or humans, which makes the Osiris completely peaceful

So what is the wand in Jesus’ hand?  It was said to be a branch from the Tree of Life (the Osiris device). Students of Judeo-Christian prophecy claim that the ‘End Time’ will see the appearance of Revelation 12’s ‘woman clothed with the sun’ who bears a child who rules with a rod of iron. It will also see the return of the prophet Elijah and the rebuilding of Solomon’s Temple, an act that is instrumental in the creation of the New Thousand Years of Peace.

It is thought that Elijah will return the Rod of Jesse – the rod signifying his power, a branch from the Tree of Life - to the Messiah, who will be seated on the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies of Solomon’s Temple on Mount Moriah. He will replace the Ark of the Covenant that had symbolized him, in the place where God is believed to have first walked with Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden.

Just as a branch from the Tree of Life was kept before the Ark of the Covenant, he will set the Rod of God before himself on the Throne of God, where the Tree of Life had grown in the Garden of Eden.

After the Church council met in 400 AD they decided to have all pictures depicting Jesus to have a beard, long hair, and no wand.  After this time you no longer work for the gods but now worship a god in a master/slave relationship.  You can aspire to be like god but you will never be equal to god.

So why did they take Jesus’ wand away?  Well, like William Henry says, “You can’t have a planet full of Christ like beings running around because they don’t pay taxes and they are completely unmanageable.”

So how does this help you on your spiritual path?

Very good question, I’m glad you asked.  The very idea that early Christians show Jesus with a wand reminds me of the fact that all religions were/are all man-made.  There’s nothing wrong with that but it means these are spiritual systems to help you to grow spiritually but should never be taken as from God or even from the gods.  Religion is man’s way of trying to get back to where we were before the “fall.”  

So what was the “fall” all about?  I’m going to save that for another article.
