Michael's Cross - Eve's Petals
Posted: September 10th, 2019, 7:29 pm
All,
I feel impressed to share this story here publicly.
Weeks ago, my wife had a dream where she saw four petals upon a stone. She felt it was important and attempted to describe it to me excitedly over a series of days. (Let's just say four petals isn't how she described it - I love you honey! )
She felt this symbol was so important, and her zeal rubbed off on me. I searched and pondered what she described, and my mind kept seeing the image of Michael's Cross, or the cross from the Order of St. Michael (didn't know what I was seeing at the time - had to look it up.)

As I described, and finally drew the symbol, my sweet wife was adamant that what I had drawn was mistaken. I was adamant that I wasn't! lol
Finally, we sat down and worked it out. Four petals in an X formation rather than a cross +
Fast forward days to a few weeks. We sat together on a sabbath afternoon watching an Egyptian documentary - I see an image go across the screen. WAIT! I rewind the video and pause on an image of the "Menat" or "Hathor's Yoke" - Here is that image:
We just stared at each other. The two images - Michael's Cross and the four petals X were juxtaposed! If you've read my article on Horus and the Davidic Servant, then you may already know that I feel strongly that Egyptology contains echos of truth that trace back to its founding where Egyptus, though cursed as pertaining to the Priesthood, founded Egypt in righteousness and modeled after the Priesthood.
Feel free to read the article linked above for more information on Hathor and the symbols of the facsimiles, but I want to keep this thread focused.
So Hathor's yoke is a necklace many / most of you will recognize from Egyptian art - that broad, deep necklace that looks like a large half circle. The yoke aspect is SUPER interesting to me and my wife, especially since we've been discussing the changes to the temple endowment. CURSES may particularly pertain to woman's divine role - and the bearing of them. Hathor's yoke may be a real symbol of the Priesthood that predates the Egyptian empire.
Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
You'll notice references to the daughter of zion and the daughter of Jerusalem. Egyptology actually has two ladies of the nile who pertain to the northern kingdom of Egypt and southern. They very much align to the 10 tribes (ZION) and the southern kingdom (Jerusalem.) The daughters of ZION and Jerusalem are "she" - and are described in the feminine. Why? Two reasons imho - First, the feminine aspect is a tribal aspect - motherhood. Second, the bearing of curses. Eve's curse is even more prominent in the recent endowment changes ... by revelation.
OK - so this is already way longer than I planned which is typical. I hope to expound on the above, but let's stick to this symbol. Let's look at modern revelation pertaining to Isaiah 52:
D&C 113:7 Questions by Elias Higbee: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion—and what people had Isaiah reference to?
8 He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost.
9 What are we to understand by Zion loosing herself from the bands of her neck; 2d verse?
10 We are to understand that the scattered remnants are exhorted to return to the Lord from whence they have fallen; which if they do, the promise of the Lord is that he will speak to them, or give them revelation. See the 6th, 7th, and 8th verses. The bands of her neck are the curses of God upon her, or the remnants of Israel in their scattered condition among the Gentiles.
What else is in D&C 113? That's right - the definitions of the stem, root, and rod of Jesse. However, let's not make this post about men. All credit to my prophetess wife who pointed this out to me - that the removing of curses may in fact be also a part of the divine role of women. Bear them .... wear that yoke....then break them.
Here's another image from Egyptian art that shows Hathor's yoke on a cow / ox (symbol of Ephraim no less as well as one of the four heads of the beasts of revelation)
Hrm... that ox looks familiar
It sure looks like something is around the neck of that ox, doesn't it?
I've got to run, but I want to get this post up for discussion. In case, anyone thinks I'm seeing shapes in the clouds, consider the X and the + are separate but outline the ~ 400 AD mosaic of the Seal of Melchizedek.
And last night, as my wife was showing me symbols inside the Salt Lake City temple, I happened upon this gem
You'll need to click on this one as it's too large. Notice the door trim ... the exact same symbol. A cross + with four petals in a X formation.
Also in the background - a woman holding a BRANCH.
