Scorpio 004

Video Transcript: So there’s a few different aspects to Scorpio that you may or may not be aware of. In order to help us flesh out this concept I’ll be reading from Manly P. Hall’s ‘The Secret Teachings of All Ages’… which if you’ve never checked out I would highly recommend it, it’s a fantastic resource. Referring to scorpio he says ’This sign has three different symbols. The most common is that of the scorpion, who was called by the ancients the backbiter, being the symbol of deceit and perversion; the second (and less common) form of the sign is a serpent, often used by the ancients to symbolize wisdom. Probably the rarest form of scorpio is that of an eagle. The arrangement of the stars of the constellation bears as much resemblance to a flying bird as to a scorpion. Scorpio, being the sign of occult initiation (which is very interesting and important), the flying eagle - the king of birds - represents the highest and most spiritual type of scorpio, in which it transcends the venomous insect of the earth.’ I’ll be digging into the eagle symbolism, as it relates to scorpio, in the next video.
