So one of the things JIDF Nigger Spambot got his shit pushed in over and consequently cut from his repertoire of comments was the stuff about owls and Y heads.

Here's the thing though- during their early history, the Jews were subject to an event called the Babylonian exile, where they got rounded up and dragged off to Babylon for being assholes, and then later they lived in Egypt- you may recall that their bigshot cultural hero Moses was raised in the court of the Pharaoh.

Egypt was subject to foreign incursion and foreign rule multiple times in their history, getting their shit pushed in and their culture dominated repeatedly, as evidenced by the Hyksos and Ptolemaic dynasties. The Egyptians also had a famously syncretic religion, meaning they adopted characteristics of local deities in tribes they came into contact with or subsumed and applied them to existing members of their pantheon. This is why certain Gods and Goddesses have these laundry-list descriptions.

Sekhmet, for instance, was both her own figure as a lioness, but was also described as the eye of Re, a totally different god, and she was also cognate with a half dozen other goddesses that had totally contrary functions in their mythology, like Hathor, Bastet, and Mut.

The Sumerians had a similar thing going on, as did a lot of tribes that existed in antiquity- conquer a tribe and rather than get all bent out of shape trying to stamp out a particular religious practice, just say, "oh, yeah- we got that guy too, we call him X, see how much we have in common? Quit rebelling."

The Jews themselves did the same shit. Jehovah, the thundering god of the mountain was considered cognate with Zeus according to some, and was also depicted as a figure named Iaw, who was a thunder god with the head of a rooster and serpents for legs. You may notice that "iaw" is pretty close phonetically with "jah" or "yah", as in Yahweh.

You may also recall that as the Israelites wandered the desert, when Moses came back down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments he got all pissed off because while he was off doinking around, the Israelites had started worshiping a bunch of graven images, notably a golden calf, and also a brazen serpent (think snake wrapped around a rod) which is mentioned multiple times in the bible, and which is associated with healing, kind of like Hermes and the cadeuces. Hermes, you may also recall is cognate with the Egyptian figure of Thoth.

So here, and this is in the Bible mind you, leaving comparative religion aside, you have Jews worshiping a brazen serpent, and a golden calf. Snake, related to medicine, knowledge… right? Bull, Moloch, Y-head..?

Owls, you have Minerva, or Pallas Athene, and we've already established the Jews had at least secondary contact with Greek culture via the Egyptians stretching back into antiquity. The Greeks are also mentioned in Genesis as the Yavan, sons of Yaphet. Yavan is cognate with the Greek word Ionia, and Yaphet with Iapetus, who is the mythological father of the Greek figure Prometheus. (Fire bringer? Light bringer? More things that make you say hmm.) There is also some association between the owl and Molech, which is obviously cognate with Moloch, and who is also referred to as Baal in some places in the Bible. This figure was associated with the both the Canaanites and the Carthaginians and so was apparently a wide-spread figure throughout the Near East, Middle East, and Northern Africa.

So, for the Jews, they had 12 tribes, right? But within those tribes, the tribes had different specialized functions and political machinations between them. The priesthood function was monopolized by the descendants of Aaron, Moses' older brother. Among their responsibilities was making "correct" offerings and "burnt sacrifices," which definitely included animal sacrifice, and as you'll recall from some of the other Bible stories, the Jews weren't above offering up their own kids if God asked them to. There is some suggestion that "burnt" offerings are specifically human sacrifices.

Then too, having been exposed to both the Babylonian and Egyptian religious institutions, which included the Mystery Schools, it's a pretty easy leap to make that what the priest caste passed on to the rest of the tribes in terms of the general understanding of the religion may not have been the same thing practiced in private- think Masons.

So, here we have a pretty muddy picture of Jewish religious practice, but it's probably pretty safe to say that making claims like "Jews DEFINITELY had nothing to do with horned critters or owls" is perhaps a little bold. There's a tribe of black Jews in Ethiopia called the Falashas who still practice blood sacrifices, which have been outlawed in mainstream Judaism for a loong time, but the point is there are some old, weird elements in Judaism still hanging around practiced by select sub-groups in their populations.

Saying look, owls and bulls and shit, 100% not Jews is a dodge, dishonest, and dependent on the presumed ignorance of the audience.

Unfortunately for JIDF spam-Nigger, I like this shit, and I can literally walk 20 feet and start pulling down volumes off my shelf if I felt like putting together a reference list. The short, short version of this is that it's not "conspiracy" literature, it's comparative anthropology and mythology with guys like Campbell, Kramer, Raglan, etc.

So, there- your brief, brief lesson about why owls and bulls, and yes, even serpents aren't necessarily a guarantee of "Nope, not Jews".
