January was dedicated to the God Janus

Sir Godfrey Higgins had written about the Roman God of New Years, Janus in Anacalypsis an Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis – Volume 1, ” Janus was not one of what they called their twelve great Gods, but he was said to be the father of them all. He had twelve altars erected to him. He held in one hand letters denoting 365, and in the other the keys of heaven, which he opened to the good and shut to the wicked.

He who cannot love can never transform the serpent, and then nothing is changed

“He who cannot love can never transform the serpent, and then nothing is changed.” ~C.G. Jung, Basel Seminar, Para 87

The Druid Festival of Christmas

By Sir Godfrey Higgins – The festival of the twenty-fifth of December was celebrated by the Druids in Britain and Ireland Druids mistletoewith great fires lighted on the ‘tops of the hills. This festival was repeated on the twelfth day, or on what we call the Epiphany. In some parts, the fires are still continued. We have not now remaining any documents to inform us what amongst the British Druids was the object or name of this festival, but perhaps we may gather it from circumstances.

But if this be in the Chaldee dialect, the last letter may be emphatic, as it is in the word mlc-e, the kings.

Attis: Born at midnight on the 24th day of December

33rd Degree Freemason Manly P. Hall had said in The Secret Teachings of all Ages: “There existed a remarkable school of religious philosophy which centered around the life and untimely fate of another Savior-God known as Atys, or Attis, by many considered synonymous with Adonis. This deity was born at midnight on the 24th day of December. Of his death there are two accounts. In one he was gored to death like Adonis; in the other he emasculated himself under a pine tree and there died. His body was taken to a cave by the Great Mother (Cybele), where it remained through the ages without decaying.”
