I dedicate this book first of all to my mother, Florence Omini for being true and dedicated in that God given role she occupies. Most of all, also, I dedicate this book to the Trinity God. Out of my understanding for His timeless many physical and multidimensional forms as well as numinous boundless character conscious self to fulfill any given objective in time, space and matter was this book creatively conceived and made in flaming depiction to portray that image and truth.
This story narrates the birth of a special child with whose destiny the world would change and become united as one. It first brings to life the character of a Lion King, so popular and powerful that he was feared as he pounced on others with opposite views and contradictions to submission. He was later killed by the alliance that included three kingdoms near Ashanti Kingdom, his own sovereign kingdom, as his land was viciously invaded, his people cruelly massacred and himself in a tethering strap beheaded at the behest of the militant Crocodile Commander at the final front pool of battle. But before his death it was taught that he possessed Four Special Lions breathing the life force of Astrans, a group of messengers from planet mercury who were obedient to Selene, the Moon Goddess.
Before his death he was destined to bring to life the “Leopard King,” whom according to prophecy will be born, become brave, powerful and great but will in the end be killed by a Lion. The Leopard King Kwakwu, the Great, after his father escaped the bloody menace with the Queen of Ashanti as they toiled in peril in an odyssey of the harshness of a stark reality in the ‘Ghost Forest' to escape and hide from the brutal hunt for the young prince. They feared when he later grows up the magnanimity of his destiny could overthrow their reigns while freeing those they have in turn enslaved in the kingdom he would later claim after passing through specific labors assigned to him by the Moon Goddess. These were the ‘Thirteen Labours' of the Prince of Ashanti, the labors undergone in the jungle among other animals which ultimately tied him to the fabled seventy-two skins of protection, great strength and authority. He would later be given freedom after serving his labors and would go ahead with the help of loyal animals including his walking ‘four knight lions’ in the jungle alongside other warriors to fight the four kingdoms alliance to free the people as he would go ahead to defeat the overlord of the alliance seated in his future throne in Ashanti to claim his once lost throne.
After taking back his throne in Ashanti, he united the four kingdoms alliance under a new umbrella called the “New Union”, a Union that would later serve as an example to the rest of the Earth. He would go ahead to unite the entire Earth after earning his place in the books of history but not before battling and defeating mighty Demura, the ‘Soul Eater’ in Astron, a feat so endearing to the rulers, leaders and people of the earth that he was declared the “UNITED LEADER, GOVERNOR AND WORLD TEACHER” in a charged and ecstatic summit involving all other world powers. Unknowing to him all this while his greatest enemy was actually Selene, the Moon Goddess. The greedy power hungry witch who later imprisoned his consort Jupiter with the might of the glider ‘EYE BUBBLE SUPREME'. The all-seeing, all knowing, all powerful and the all-round floating 3-dimensional electro-magnetic Bubble, now tightly under her control until once again Kwakwu, the Leopard King would rise to free Jupiter himself, the supreme ruler of Astron and Saugon and head of the council of Trigon by using the same trick against the Goddess of Ocuba which she used against the Trinity Gods of Trigon of whom Jupiter was their leader. He Himself ‘The Great Leopard King’ was finally killed by a lion as was once long predicted. After he successfully executed his Earth mission to create a “WORLD KINGDOM” united in one faith.’ A world society of peace, oneness, equality and prosperity.
I acknowledge my Family, my Mother and late biological Father for their love and encouragement towards me even the occasional positive energy they project into my life force despite separated by long distances. I’m also grateful to my mother especially for the funny and sometimes creative late-night stories of animals and sky gods she often told us as we were small and growing up around her. Lastly, I owe part of my inspiration to the many authors since the medieval times who’ve written extensively about the mysterious history of the now dormant “Leopard Society,” its early purpose and ideals, form of government and insight into its transcendent enlightenment birthed to pluck the people of West Africa out of ignorance, pain and slavery. More than ever, the discovery of their primary purpose which was to protect the secret of The “King of the sun skies, Forest, Night as well as the King and protector of the Underworld or afterlife (The Panther King).”
Long ago, Selene, the Moon Goddess was taught to have lived in the skies, and roamed around the fluid Saugon universe before finally settling somewhere in the sanctuary of the moon. She found the moon as being even a greater mother, the mother of life, of all the planets, and of Jupiter, the King of Astron. With love, solace, beautiful radiance, hope and peace, Diana welcomed her after she was banished from her Venus planet by Queen Afi for her acts of deception and ulterior plans of taking over the crown from her, the queen, and senior half-sister.
Coincidentally, she was the destined one to take over the crown from their step Mother, where she would rule and reign over Venus, the planet of the Goddess of beauty. The planet was a gift to Afi from her husband, Jupiter. Jupiter himself conquered Venus from a host of evil Gods and tyrants led by the Dark Lord Pazuzu, whom he fought hard along with his army to kill, maim and chase many away, for the dwellers of the higher natured ones, after it was discovered that this realm and planet contained all the resources of life, love and enrichment to provide for and support the dwellers of Astron and descendants of the Sun.
Also, a place of peace and escape for him after working too hard as well as after waging a successful war against his enemies and wants peace of mind, he flees to Venus to find that comfort in the arms of his beloved wife, Queen Afi, the powerful, protective and beautiful Queen.
She was called Afi meaning ‘Beautiful,’ ‘Mother’ by her consort and king of Astron, Jupiter, being the daughter of Demura, half-sister of Jupiter from another planet of Saugon universe. She’s the mother of Pazuzu, the estranged one and rebel of the Gods of Astron. She’s often, thought to be peaceful and loving until provoked. In consequence to their ruffled coarse bond with her sister, she was ultimately denied her rights and place close to the Sun by Selene. It was an act of rebellion against her by Selene. She now anchored in the Moon, with Diana, the human side of the Oluna, found new faith in life alongside succor and hope in the saving arms of the Mother of Jupiter, Diana, after her wicked insidious actions against her Half Sister to seize her throne, had failed.
She nurtured a dark plan with an intent to launch a revenge to rule not just over Venus, this time but Saugon universe as a whole. But she figured out that the only way to achieve that quest was to scheme her way into the heart of Diana, gain her total love and support, and through that means she could fulfill her unrelenting daring pursuit of being in control over the skies.
But the Moon Goddess as ‘Matriarch of Astron', the mother of all was a powerful cosmic being of dual nature. First, as a human named Diana, capable of transforming into a human being, and second, as a planet or world named Oluna, when she lays down and sleeps for eternity. She has the power to duplicate her form and image of the moon, also known as ‘Ocuba’ and project them in faraway planets around Saugon as a holographic presence of the original form of herself in order to design, expand and ratify her power, influence and importance in the devised campaign to discharge and propel her finest qualities of order and warmth bulging from the cantilever of her bowels and overhang in the universe of Saugon.
According to legends, she once moved from the place in the Sun hurling and dragging herself to occupy a space near Earth as a Moon World after an irreconcilable difference she had with Demura, the Father of Jupiter and her husband. Near the earth, she assumed a virgin role of devotion and caring for the Earth in seasons with warmth to ensure the Earth grows and have light and thriving life. In earlier times, the Moon Goddess and Old Mother with hunchback spends most of her time during the day as a personified image of a beautiful woman clad in a glorious white garment and glittering crown. A period where she moved to visit her family and care for other of her creation further away from the sun and near the stars.
She also sometimes transports herself beyond the solar system to Astron, sun realm of Jupiter located in the Seventh Space, in the otherworldly dimension and higher galaxies of light to join the host of the stars of heavens, that guards and protects the earth and the rest of the physical universe from the nefarious and diabolic forces of the dark lord Pazuzu, wayward and rebellious son of Jupiter, and king of the sky foul beasts, alongside his tripod magic staff, and loyal legions, sow seeds of chaos, threatens the peace, renewal and stability of the worlds above before returning at night to continue their role of disruption on the planet earth, which upsets the balance of reality cycle and transition.
But they’re usually overcome by Jupiter who sometimes in multiple forms in lightening charged clouds appears and immobilizes as well as imprisons the villainous creatures using his slingshot to sharp shoot ice cubes, snow balls and frost crystals that clouds and wraps them up in a capsulated transparent ‘Ice Bubble.’
While she, the Moon Goddess can transform herself to a dome planet, and back into human again, it is based on her multi-lateral role towards her large family and children and the nature they are made up of, especially when the celestial hosts are summoned by Jupiter for a council meeting. At this event they all are entitled to appear as humans or in that nature to attend this meeting in the majestic, bigger and higher sun star stellar realm of ASTRON. And after the meeting when they return to their designated satellite stations and planets in the milky way and beyond, they all can transform or grow back dome hunchbacks to assume their roles as once did before their departure. For her love for the Earth and mankind, Diana was cursed with the perpetual role of dedication to mankind, and creation, a role she had vowed and pledged to perform for all of eternity without any occasion of reneging, attacking or changing her lovely radiant nature and face even in the face of anger, resistance and war.
But on this occasion, the outcast, Selene asked her, if she could represent her, in their meeting in Astron, the radiant realm of the Sun of Lord Jupiter but the Moon Goddess said No. “It is impossible. since you didn’t belong to the higher hierarchy to qualify your attendance to that privileged meeting,” Said Diana to her.
“But she tried to convince the Goddess of Ocuba, that though estranged, I belong to a family of royalty linked to the crown of rulership of Astron, and that by right of birth in place of my sister, I could attend. I am the estranged daughter of Demura and your husband lost to time because of my misdeeds to my father and half-sister, Afi, but I am a changed person now,” she added. But the Goddess replied, your sister is alive and well, right? “Wait a minute, they ostracized you for fear of you usurping the position of your Sister as a Queen to suffer, wander and even die, right?”
“Maybe we could work something out, where you can represent me, only to prove to your sister, that you now have a home and you are not dead or lost in time travel as she thought, after what they did to you.”
“Okay! Just this once I permit you to represent me, and if Jupiter ask of her Mother, say, she is sleeping and working, and wouldn’t like to be disturbed.” Say that and he would understand” Said Diana to her.
When Diana, the Ocuba Goddess is not transformed and occupying her place as Oluna, the Dome Glass Sphere, she lives in a round transparent Light Bubble.
On the other hand, Selene was very excited to be going to show her face among the Council of the Celestial Gods, a council that often disagrees in almost everything making Jupiter as the heir and king of Astron to give decrees, ultimatums and pronouncements to be adhered to. But more than ever her appearance was to challenge her sister, to make her understand, she still lives, and she was in fine fettle and tenacious, even though she was punished with a twist and penalty of a deadly curve to dawdle and ramble into a jumble of a floating dark open space to endlessly saunter without a home. But not knowing that her actual appearance and presence there on that fateful night might change her life and destiny for all time.
It was then, at the exact time, stroke of midnight when they all gathered, she then used the Ocuba Staff and Third ‘LEG’ of the Moon Goddess, forged out of celestial fire and light of immortality to fly through the interstellar portal and appeared before them transforming her floating energy self into a human physical form in her place amongst the Gods, in a very highly exalted seat, only close to the King of Astron, Jupiter.
Soon had she arrived, was the whole gathering thrown into pandemonium, until the king of ASTRON Jupiter ordered for silence, and asked her; “Who are you,’please? And where is my Mother? In the quietness of the heavens, she retorted, the Mother is sleeping and working, and wouldn’t like to be disturbed. Immediately, she said that everyone mumbled in agreement.”
But still fixated at her, Jupiter asked, “Then, who are you?” “I am Selene.” She replied softly to him, being well dressed in a beautiful robe with jewelries and a glittering fine crown. Immediately, she said that, her sister shuddered, sitting on the right side of Jupiter turned, and in surprise said, it can’t be true. “How come?” “We thought you were lost in time?” said Afi to her. “You and your cohorts were wrong?” I am alive, and more than that, I am now representing the kind Goddess, Mother Diana, said Selene. It was then, Jupiter raised his eyebrows and said, “Is this your Sister? You never told me you had a sister.” She wanted to speak in her defense, he interrupted her, “Wait?” “Look?” he said. She is so beautiful like the sun. The Sun, Demura is her father, our father, who possessed the body qualities of a female and male. Starring at her he thought Mother may have given me a worthy gift, my second wife.” Venus Queen Afi hearing him loud and clear was quick to respond, “She is no wife, and will never be” she said. Selene communicating telepathically while looking at him with a smile, “My Lord, you have but a wife already, and I don’t want to be a second wife, she said to him. Secondly, my role here today was to represent mother, and afterwards return back.” But Jupiter willing to have her and beaming his white bluish eyes on her, “No more,” you will not return, for you are already home. My mother is used to being alone by herself, and she can take care herself down there,” he telepathically responded to her. Meanwhile, Afi, Queen of Venus was angry, but was glad to see her sister, as she quickly cut in, to tell her sister, “I am happy to see you. I regret my actions, and I hope you find in you a place of forgiveness for my unforgivable actions towards you.” She also said it knowing her time as the beloved of Jupiter was coming to an end, and would need her mercies and compassion, in case she was relegated, access restricted or her powers reduced.
Then Jupiter, with giggly cheeks and hobbling charm immediately rushed the council meeting and discussing important issues about the earth affairs and a war started on earth by the dark side led by Pazuzu from Bacoonia, in order to quell the fires of the war before it is inflamed and spreads to other worlds. But with excitement that quelled his frenzy and outburst of the intensity of the storm brewing on earth saddled with the soft feeling and fervor for the image of Selene’s beautiful appearance, he cuts it short to attend to personal matters, and those matters will be him trying to convince Selene, the beautiful outcast princess to stay with him, and not return to the Moon. As for Afi, his wife who watched with zeal and zest the cobbling trends of affection and allure as they glided through the stomach to lite the spirit and face of Jupiter wanted to tarry, but he told her, ‘you should go back to Venus,’ for what you did to your sister and never telling me the truth. And although she tried to explain and convince his man, that she should stay, that plea was rejected, as he had no need for her that night and finally, in anger she vanished from his presence and returned.
Meanwhile, Selene never knew as long as she was still with the Staff and High-flying wings of the Moon Goddess Oluna, the old hunchback Goddess will continue to sleep as a world and always work and watch without rest, unless she returns and hands it over as the third straight leg of the old hunchback Mother Oluna. However, in Astron, being jazzed hankering with the adoring crave and worship wanting the new beautiful flower to be his own tried several schemes to make it work. He then, said to her; “Tell me, what is it you want, whatever you want, and I will give it to you.” Name your price, I control the universe. My father had placed everything in my care. My armies are greater than the armies of the other Kings of Trigon put together, and I am the undisputed king and head of Astron, Saugon and Trigon universes, and all my brethren respect and bow to me. “What more do you want?”
“You can own and rule over a planet, if you want, even the moon can be under your feet, if you so please.” Right there as he rambled on with a deep pitched out voice in proclamation of his indomitable might, her mother OLUNA was shaken in her sleep and thought to herself I may never wake up any more, because my son has found new love and was willing to give away the position of her mother to his newly found love. But mostly, the Moon Goddess trusted Selene not to say yes, because if she does, she was forever under the feet of Selene, who will command her, her powerful energy and own her, and she may never resist or fight back because of the vow she made long ago in the United Council of the Gods of Astron, as her place will be forever to protect, provide, care and offer solace and peace to those who flee to her in fear, pain and penury.
She then, asked the king of Astron, “even OCUBA?” Yes, He enthusiastically said. She answered and said to him, but that is the forever place of your Mother, “Why do you see me worthy to take the place of your mother?” “And is that not betrayal to your family?” “I am the undisputed King of Astron,” he said. “I can do whatever I please, including relieving my Mother of her role beside me, and letting you do that job, only because you would have agreed to be my wife.” “What about my sister, your wife?” she asked him. “What about her, you can coexist, you are sisters,” he replied. “She will be my first wife and you will be my second wife.” “What if I don’t want to share you with anyone?” she softly spoke to him. He thought to himself and said, “That would be difficult.”
“You see, I need the love and bond of your sister as my surrogate Eye in the planet Venus” he said. “You are the all-powerful King and ruler of the Saugon universe, you could compel anyone to submission, all things are possible to you, remember?” she responded to him.
“This is different,” he said. Your Sister has earned the loyalty and support of all my armies, stationed there, and I fear if I deny her that position, after slighting her to take you as second wife she could rebel against me, and the last thing I want now is war, especially among my people. You see, we have a lot of work to do, to counter the work of the dark rulers, and division will be seen as victory against us, and you will not like that. “Would you?”
Okay, “My Sister had already apologized to me, but I would love to be above her in authority, and although she continues in her role as the queen of Venus, I want my authority higher than her own.” She made me suffer, I would like to repay her sooner or later, she thought to herself. “And for the offer, concerning your mother, I agree to take it.” “She, the queen of the Moon OLUNA gasped in her sleep, and said to herself, I am forever imprisoned to myself, and would never be a human anymore.” Meanwhile, Selene asked, the king of Astron, Jupiter, what are the benefits of that position as the New Goddess of the Moon? He answered, “you have everything you need right now under you, with that staff you are holding.” Really? She asked.
“What can this ‘Wand’ really do?” She asked. “As long as you are the newly authorized wielder of that Oluna Wand, you would have dominion beyond your imagination, rule over the Earth, all other planets in Saugon, and you will control the tides, seasons, light and darkness, the life forms on earth need to live or exist therein even their fate.” He told her. “With that power, you are by far greater than your sister, and I know you’d like to revenge against her. But you don’t need to do that. Seeing you with this power she will be forever envious of your position, and it will torment her. That will be punishment enough.”
“It will begin to work and your authority of light and darkness over the Earth will be automatic, immediately you say ‘yes’ to my proposal,” he said to her. “Right there and then,” she shouted, “yes,” “yes,” in honest passion and elation, as she walked right into the arms of Jupiter to hug him with a kiss, shine, charm and grace. And at that point there was a sound of thunder throes, and a large group of ASTRANS in shinning white and blue translucent water bubbles descended upon her and bowed down and started worshiping her. “They descended gracefully in the form of STAR BUBBLES and later transformed into translucent Beings, and then into the form of HUMANS with robes white as snow.”
Saying to her in veneration, “Selene, Goddess of the Moon OCUBA, we worship, honor and serve you.” “By demonstration of such goodwill by Jupiter in the transfer of power and honor of Diana to her, literally meant that those servant priests and messengers called ASTRANS from the planet of MERCURY and part of the Council of Astron under the authority of her mother were instantly transferred to her.”
“Any more thing, you wish?” he lovingly asked her. “Yes,” she replied. I like animals. When I look down on earth, and I see those animals, I wish I could control a few, as pets and as direct messengers, that will stay by my side. “It is done,” said Jupiter as he smiled. “You have the power to do what you want.” Right there, the messengers, appeared with snakes. She said, is it not the same deceptive animal used to deceive Adam, they answered yes, then she said No. I don’t want a coning and deceptive animal. They disappeared and appeared with a bird. She said, she like things that walk and fly on earth, not just creepling or flying. They then brought elephants, she said, no, too big. “What is the king of animals?” she asked. Immediately a messenger Astran “Being” appeared with a lion. She went around this animal, “Yes,” she said. “This is what I want.” But I want more than one. “How many,” Astran asked. Four is a good number, she said. They disappeared and appeared as they brought with them four lions from Earth. He now told them, I like them to speak to me, for us to be conversing, and right there. The lions started talking in her own language, generally spoken in Astron.
Lastly, she said, I’d like them to be like you the ASTRANS with ‘Wings,’ so, I can comfortably fly with them through and around the universe of Saugon to care and bless the creation on Earth and in the Saugon Universe. “Immediately, they appeared white wings out of the side arms of the four lions, and she spoke to them to swear to an oath of loyalty, which they did.” “I know on earth, you are kings,” but here in the heavens particularly in the Moon, “I am your Queen and Goddess Selene, she said to the lions” This understanding they struck. Then, Jupiter said, all that you did by yourself, not controlled by me or anyone. You did it by yourself, through the staff of immortality and the Word. It was then, for the second time in fascination and excitement, she happily and cuddly with a glow of love and a sparkling feeling of fulfillment entered into the warm embrace of the king of Astron, and she slept with him in the flamboyance of his air suspended cozy bed that night.
The next morning, she woke up feeling excited by the side of Jupiter but soon hobbled by the sudden craving thoughts and aspirational fires and growing hunger for domination and control, of not just the Gods and Goddesses of Astron but also of men on earth. But these were her thoughts once buried in the inner bowels of her concealed chambers now re-emerging. But first she must go around ‘Saugon’ to show herself to the people as their new Goddess of warm Light and darkness at night in the skies. A position, which when whispered and declared by Jupiter to all, angered her Sister Afi, and from that day, Afi thought of fighting back to redeem her position, but it will be difficult, because her authority and power was greater than that of the Queen of Venus Afi, and any perceived envy or rebellion could cost her so much including SELENE denying her sister Light, and the fear of darkness, was more than the fear of Jupiter himself.
Since it was believed that in utter darkness can the messengers of the dark lord Pazuzu have the power, authority and permission to invade her planet to ransack, pillage or war and sow seeds of discord among her faithful and loyal messengers, which might spell doom when they take root and manifests. So, such thoughts will make her pause her actions in rebellion against her. But Selene at this point was not interested in revenge since she saw her position to be envious enough, compared to revenge and punishment against her Sister, as she was visiting various planets to know their needs and how to respond to them by embellishing their energies according to her new role in the cosmic universe of Saugon.
After going around, the planets to see all her creation and be welcome by them, she then returned to the Moon, her starting point, where she was greeted by the Mother Moon herself. And the Moon Goddess OLUNA said to her, “I have heard you have taken over my position, and the control over my will and destiny. “Is there anything I could say for you to return my Third leg and authority back to me?” Asked OLUNA. Absolutely nothing, she replied. Your Third Leg is the source of my new authority, supernatural powers and eyes in the cosmic SAUGON universe, and when I allow you to wake up, it means I would no longer own or control you anymore. Secondly, I would not have any plane to call my home, and you are my home now and forever.
Selene, the crafty outcast was now the new beloved consort of Jupiter, in charge of the moon, bestowed with the powers to influence not just the celestial beings and their worlds but those on earth as humans, even animals as well the creatures and life under the earth, and in the sea, as their fate was now bound and intertwined with the nature and force of the New Moon Goddess and her magic stick.
Those who were traditionally used to consult the Old Goddess of Ocuba had their prayers and intercessions linked and directed to Selene, by the medium astran messengers, while she had the reigns now over the Protoplast and Moon sphere of her influence in the visible dimension of space, touch and reality locked within the Astron realm of operation in the paradigm of the seventh space membrane of SAUGON AND TRIGON (Trinity universes of Saugon, Togard and Misura). Also, under this space dimension, she dispenses information, leadership, control, influence and protection over humans and other elements of the physical space. However, back in the Moon, Selene made sure she stressed her point clearly to the Mother of Lord Jupiter, that her place was now usurped by her, as the new wielder and controller of powers and influence in the cosmic space. Moreover, she lets her know that it was her Son that officially took that right and position away from her to bestow it on her as she accepted to be his new wife.
It was at this point the hunchback Mother Goddess of Ocuba and Supreme Hierarch of the Moon, the restorer of peace and alignment in the worlds and the renewer and protector of her children on earth, and in the solar system, got angry, a position she had vowed never to take or to fall to, and just for a second she went to that point where all Gods and Goddesses revert to in times of pressure and rebellion, as she spoke with a loud voice, a thundery voice that attracted all the dwellers of the Saugon universe, including her distant husband, Demura, the Sun, and her Son Jupiter, the King of Astron, saying; “For this you’ve done to me Jupiter, you’re doomed with this woman, and the creation she controls shall be doomed to slavery in the mystery of her occult and magic crafts, and those who depended on her for light and guidance in religion and astrology will be led astray by her deceptive hands and dark heart of witchcraft and sorcery. And you my Son, your time shall come when even your dominion shall be denied and taken away from you by this Witch Goddess, even the humans will doubt your existence, all as a result of the poisoned nature, heart and influence on all things she controls, be it worlds or creation including the most precious of all the kind, Humans, the ones you so much work hard to protect and guide. For your light shall become toxic to them and they shall betray you, for not by their own doing, but because of the seeds of darkness sown in their hearts by the dark enemy including the most powerful of all, Selene, shall make them see another light that is different from yours”.
The Dark lord PAZUZU and his shadow cohorts live within the Dimension of Saugon in the Dark Moon territory called Bacoonia, being the dimension and influence of Magic control, Witchcraft and Dark rituals. But he and his cohorts have the power for intergalactic compact travels through space time continuum broad opposite ends and worm hole by traveling to other worlds freely and faster, and by so doing gathering to themselves their subtle materials and bodies for their protection and resistance against heavy gravity. They are toughened by magnetic materials, wave length and gravity molecular dynamics in space. And His world and their kind are constantly protected from the forces of the Sun by hiding under the Moon on the dark reaches with its subtle and cool energy that is not deadly to their nature and kind. They can hide inside high energy liquid molecules and can travel through dimensional veils and solid walls using advance methods of optimization through the parallel universe. His work is deception, violence, war and revenge on all those who resist him, and his control, not just against men but also the higher beings, their messengers and the destruction of their worlds.
He along with BALAKIA, the Deity of SITHRA in the Underworld are protected by a heavy canopy to prevent the prayers and magical weapons of men from touching or reaching them. They fight and sometimes arrests messengers sent by Jupiter to deliver the light and gifts of light, truth, creativity, salvation, peace and prosperity to man. They are the constant troublers of human beings, and the cosmos, and doesn’t allow the sons and daughters of men to have peace, seek comfort or sleep well at night. But now both of them are nothing compared to Selene especially when she finally switches her nature completely into darkness when the time comes as their power and influence pales in comparison to the authority and supernatural powers of Selene on Earth and in the skies of Astron.
Although, Selene does not work with them, she was sometimes in her heart and soul of consciousness influenced by their chaotic activities and pervasive dark influence, energy and power which goes far beyond controlling only humans but as well as to further their pervasive reign in Saugon for eternity. Selene hates the dark malevolent Lord PAZUZU and the underworld entities just as her master and husband Jupiter does, because all they seek is the down fall of the higher beings of Astron, and to usurp their energy and place, and are envious of their influence and power of love to and from humans.
“But on the day and time Selene took over the reigns of Ocuba, as the new lion Goddess of the dwellers of the higher dimension of Saugon, the dark lord along with his messengers of terror and chaos rejoiced, saying the time of the fall of Jupiter was near. They said it because they’ve known and followed her history of pride, resistance, betrayal and works of deception and envy to those who were prettier, powerful or higher up in the ladder of hierarchy than her.”
Seeing that her object was power, greed and control at all cost in the midst of mystical elevated Gods and Goddesses, or in the service of humanity, they believed, they have as one of their own at the top dome of operation and cosmic hierarchy, even if she doesn’t know it yet. And it’s only a matter of time that her selfishness and greed will engulf her, leading ultimately to the fall of the celestial council and supreme hierarchy in Astron.
It wasn’t long before Selene thought to herself, if she was now the head of Ocuba, and Third in power in the skies, as well as close in position to Demura and Jupiter what stops her from going to earth, and influencing even override their medium as pedestal to which their cultures and religions even lifestyle on Earth were grounded, so as to suit her, where she could also be extolled for her beauty, strength and grace.
“If my husband, Jupiter and his father, the Sun, and Maker, even my Sister Afi of Venus were praised and venerated, why can’t I also be part making it a quadratic circle,” muttered Selene to herself. It was at this point she decided to visit the sons and daughters of men, as a result began to influence their known cultures and ways of life. She had visited several Ancient civilizations in the past with her four lions flying chariot, which she used to fly across Saugon, but this time to minister to earth, the material human plane to influence and affect their lives for some time or possibly forever. Since the Earth and her people often perceived by the celestial Gods to be the most receptive of their Godhood, and worshiping them, depending on their influence in the life of the earthmen. Since she knew the only way they could see her often was when she was closer to them than just being or reigning in the skies.
At this point she has not chosen to manifest as a person born of a human but occupying the spiritual medium of the earth, as many ardent diviners and fortune tellers even dreamers started reading the signs given by her and seeing her in their subconscious existence and cosmic adventures, as she cares and provides for them and their needs, as well as feeding the magically minded souls with the necessary fascination and psychic visions to see the future and power to heal their fellow human. It was this hoodoo crafty means she used to win over the hearts of the telepathic mediums and spiritualists of the people of old, who saw her as the crystal wielder of the tool of peace, love and protection, the Moon Goddess.
She as Selene was seen as the most magnetic, occultic and cunning figure among the Three Astron Goddesses out smarting Afi, her sister and Diana now Oluna. The same being manifests as the supreme triple moon goddess of the Earth, often seen as having three forms as Maiden, Mother and Crone, representing birth, death and rebirth life cycles and she is ruling over the heavens near earth as one of the three realms of creation. The others are The Earth and Sun. In the same measure she appeared in the skies having conned and exchanged places with the crone Goddess with hunchback Diana, mother of Jupiter being Divine and Heavenly to gain favor and place in the heart of the king of Astron.
She has the power to talk to, charm and control animals and people to do her bidding. Selene was sometimes seen as the benevolent Mother Goddess depending on the time, season and place, but also her image represents Time or death, as well as consort and humanity’s medium to Lord Jupiter. In other words, the same Being of different manifestations and faces of one higher soul was presented as Dark and Violent, as well viewed at the same time as a benevolent loving and kind Goddess in different time periods. In Ashanti, she’s artistically illustrated with a crown consisting of cow horns enclosing a Moon disk. With her magic, she disassembled the body of powers of her Husband sentencing him to slavery and potential death out of greed for his coveted title, power and position.
Among the warrior tribes of Ashanti, she manifested as ‘Ngame,’ the shinning one, mother Goddess of creatures of the Earth. She was the permanent representative of the supreme Goddess of the Moon with a Hunchback representing the burdens, weaknesses and ordeals faced by her children on earth. She keeps a direct communication of divine sources to these tribes, influencing the rulers of these tribes and the decisions they make as well as sacrifices they make to appease her during festivities. It was from this tradition and belief, that the “Great Leopard King,” Kwakwu, was born with a great destiny as a direct incarnation of the consort of Selene, the Ngame, and the enchanter of the Divine Lions with great power on earth.
On earth, in Ashanti she raised a “female bestiary Pard” and a “male human lion” as royals with the blood of the Gods and Goddesses of the Moon sky. They both were beasts in human form. But they were also destined for greatness as King and Queen of the future of this age old land of folklore and secrets with a great destiny.
Kwakwu was born, son of a strong warrior and wrestler in a town and kingdom that was divided into two powerful houses. Naturally when one king emerged from one house after his death, the next king will come out of the other house or tribe to govern this warrior kingdom. Each house has within it six elders and chiefs who advises the King and make binding laws to their people that takes effect when their house rises to power. Together were twelve rival court Elders and Chiefs alongside the King that rules this mysterious great kingdom. Surrounded by them were other ‘three kingdoms' excluding the neighbouring animal kingdom with a lesser influence and power. Because of their warrior nature and reputation of possessing God like men with strength to rival the Gods, they were greatly feared. And because they were aware of their notorious reputation, they took advantage of it to suppress other lands and enslaved their people.
“They did so because they were mostly fighting amongst the two houses for recognition and superiority. One day one of the houses came out with an idea which they wrote and sent to the other house. It was a contest and tournament over a period of three months.”
The rules were that the last people who’ll fight will determine he who wins and the house that would eventually claim the title to the throne of Ashanti as its price. The house of those who win will from that time permanently rule over this popular kingdom. It will start this way; “Each week, two persons from the houses of Kikweta and Tabashta, will contest as each fights his opponent. Points will be calculated to give an edge to the house of those who wins. It will go on like that for three months, and by that time twelve people must have fought weekly. The last two people to fight will determine the contest. The choice of who battles who will be done in an open ballot system.”
Twelve people from each house will submit their names after which in a public way in front of the people of both houses, a potential contestant will pick a paper from a ballot containing twelve names of the other house, and whichever name he picks, will be the person he will wrestle with when the tournament starts.
When the House of Kikweta got the letter and reading through, they liked the idea as they thought they were the bravest people and without their tribe the Ashanti kingdom would have fallen long ago. But that was the same idea the other house had, as they thought they were the invincible ones as they have been tested for generations and always they emerged insurmountable as no weapon forged by the local enemies had potential advantage over them.
Having agreed to the defining moment of their history, they then set a date for the contest. When the time came, as planned every week opponent will wrestle each other according to fateful providence of whom they have chosen from the popular ballot. On the first day, as planned for the duel wrestling tournament to begin, it started with the first two contestants in a large field surrounded by the whole community of indigenes of both houses as they watched to see who’ll emerge the winner.
The wrestling duo clash went on for over two hours as they both pitched in their game to prevail on the battle often with grapples, tangling to rough and tumble and yet there was no apparent winner as both of them were skilled in the art of vigorous wrestling and until one’s back completely touches the ground, one has not won, or you have not fallen. But for every contest there is a winner, and this was no different as in the end, the most talented enduring wrestler from the house of Tabashta won the contest. The cheers and screams were deafening from the other side and house of those who won. The Tabashtans were motivated by their win hoping to replicate that feat the next week. When the next week arrived, gathered the same crowd even more because of the built-up excitement. The field of play was packed full by spectators each belonging to one side or is a fan of one or the other and as well hoping for their man to win.
For the young people, they cheered, the wrestler of their choice and liking without a care in the world for whether there was a crown at stake. It was a sport to them. But for the adults and elders, it was a thing of life and death. They’d rather die or be expelled from that land than see their house lose and become subject of humiliation for many generations to come.
So, on this account, each contestant and house took out time to train their wrestler on the right skills and techniques with which to use to win the contest. On this day there was a repeat of the contest at the second week as the wrestlers battled it out and again the fight lasted for several hours as there was a given time for the contestants to rest out for a couple of minutes to regain strength before continuing.
The rules were liberal and meant to also entertain the spectators. In the end, the house of Tabashta won the contest once again. There were hails and screams from the fans and house of the winner while the other house sobbed and were beginning to think may be the other house were more stronger and better skilled than them. In the preparation for the coming week, the Kikwetans trained so hard as though their lives depended on it as do the other house too being engineered by their successive wins.
On the third week it was even a bigger show and event as people from the neighboring Three Kingdoms came to join other spectators to cheer the contestants and wrestler of their choice. They gathered as usual and then the wrestling began. The Kikwetan fought his opponent and each time he saw that his strength was subsumed by the strength of his opponent as his fellow contestant was just too strong and skilled for him. But the wrestling stayed on but not for a prolonged amount of time as it was hardly an hour when the Tabashtan threw his opponent on the ground and was immediately declared the winner. Once again there were screaming, applause and excitement from the side of the winners and fans who have mostly shifted to the winning sides. It was even a shameful thing for most young people to associate themselves with the losing side.
The losers put their heads down along with their supporters and fans hoping the next week will be better. On the other hand, their opponents were becoming bolder in their attack skills learning new ones in the process. On the fourth week of play, the field once again in a popularized wrestle fight was filled by spectators that came from far and near to see the house that will ultimately win and take the throne of Ashanti. The neighboring kingdoms’ representatives and spectators cheered and applauded mostly for Tabashtans because they were not as brutal and notorious as the Kikwetans and were glad as long as things were progressing in that manner. But remember the last two contestants will determine the contest of he and which house wins or loses.
In the fourth week and inside the field stood the opponents facing each other each bragging that he will win. Soon had the whistle been blown were they two engaged in this epic fight that was somewhat brutal as the Kikwetans saw it as life or death situation. They wrestled dirty with the Kikwetan applying all amount of tricks to win. In the end he had an edge, when the other fighter was distracted, as he carried him and thrusts on the ground with his full back spread on the ground, a situation that saw the Kikwetans rose for joy as they ran and filled the field of play even before their wrestler was declared the winner. This was to show how desperate they were for a win. A few fans were on their side but exploded for euphoria nonetheless along with their house.
