Wind Rose

Everybody is familiar with the wind rose. Last time i saw one was on the evacuation diagram of the hotel room at 7 feathers. I was intrigued by the resemblance of it to the Cross of Scientology and did some searches this morning and i think i need to share what i found out.

But it's complicated and don't know where to start. BTW i think it's unusual as useless for someone to draw a wind rose on an evacuation diagram if not dangerous and distracting. I don't think anybody would waste one second in case of emergency to look to see where the North is it but will rather hurry and follow the evacuation arrows.

Could it be just a pretext to stick a symbol in our subconscious? A symbol of love on the door of the hotel room.


First the star of Babylonian goddess Ishtar who initially was called Innana which i believe is mentioned in the Revelation as the scarlet woman. This coincide with her description as being among others a goddess of war, sex and fertility.

It is my personal belief cylinders with engravings could have been rolled on wet tablets and easily multiplied and used like some sort of ancient publications.
 

As seen on this ancient tablet, the star has only 4 pointed branches, the other 4 are rectangular as seen in some simplified Scientology crosses.  

The next stop in history, Aleister Crowley. He was a practitioner of many ancient and not so ancient rituals, including Rosicrucianism. That is a very ambitious goal (or shall i call it mission impossible), as paganism, the way he thinks of it, as anything but Christianity, is vast, spans over millennia ant takes so many forms i can't even begin to think of.

While flying through his pretty messy biography can't help by noting OTO which among others is a German name used by the creator of Otto engine, root for name Ottoman and name of a Mongolian clan which might have created the Ottoman Empire. Also, the linguistic resemblance with later Operating Thetan in Scientology.

Next, Crowley - Hubbard connection.

Rosicrucian cross, a precursor for Scientology cross? (look in the very middle of it).

Did that answer my question about similarity between Wind Rose and Scientology cross? Need also to mention that current Scientology flagship name is Freewinds and two of the casinos i suspect they belong to them are Chinook Winds and Red Winds.

But there is one more thin i need to add. Crowley founded his own religion, Thelema and one of the themes and brands seen at 7 feathers is Takelma, pretendingly a Native American name. In Southern Oregon or one of the most right extremists areas of the US? Is law in Southern Oregon inspired by Crowley's belief system?

And one more question. With all technological advances now culminating with AI, how tributary to the late 19 early 20th century occultism we still are, now 25 years in the third millennium? Are they actually using AI to promote ancient religions disguised in more modern ones? Or simply we don't have anything else for spirituality?

However Crowley had a better known precursor

And BTW i always hated the title of Kant's main work, Critique of Pure Reason cause it seems like a contradiction to me and a subliminal invitation to madness.
