For 2 years I still don't understand why the names of the Gods and Goddesses represent planets and chakras at the same time. Please help. Of course I think about the reasons for this, but I couldn't make it clear in my head. For example, when talking about bright Shamash, it is certain that the sun is mentioned, but you also say that our God Azazel is mentioned. How can Venus the planet, be at the same time our Goddess Astarte? Among the people I met on the internet in my country, there are those who turn to atheism instead of Spiritual Satanism because they were decided when those names were not our Gods but planets. That's why I think it's very important to clarify this issue.
The words for the planets actually came from the Gods who are real beings, and not the other way. It's obvious with the planets and moons that hadn't been discovered in ancient times. Neptune for example was recently discovered, less than 2 centuries ago. Because its energies are watery, astronomers gave him that name of the Roman God that rules the waters. So, first came the God and then the planet. In ancient times there wasn't any distinction between astrology and astronomy because their science wasn't materialistic, so the Gods, the planets and observation were all connected. Their names also represented specific vibrations that connected the Gods and the planets. But it doesn't mean they
are the planets. Venus was the name for the Goddess of love, but since the planet emits the same type of energies, it was given the name of the Goddess in honor of her. The same with the sun. Shamash was the Babylonian alias of Azazel, but since the sun emits the radiant energies as Azazel, it was given the same name as the God. The same in other languages with other sun-gods.
There is the chakra-planet connection based on the Hermetic principle "As above, so below" too, so the names of the Gods also are connected to the chakras.
As about the atheists, who cares what they think? Those who are so materialistically minded that they can't get the esoteric meaning of all this will not be suitable for SS anyway.
