RULERSHIP OF IRON

▬» November 19, 2007 at 3:27 pm   says:One point I have found especially meaningful ( amongst many)is the Aristasian equivalence of the ‘iron age’ of the Kali Yuga with the planetary rulership of iron by Mars – a most telling correspondance which reveals much about the deteriorated and abnormal conditions of this negative cycle of time. »
▬» This particular point of Aristasian metaphysics, the Hesiodic ‘Age of Iron’/Kali Yuga corresponding to iron as the planetary metal of Mars got me to thinking…this symbolic connection affords a very profound insight into the true nature of this age, especially in the light of Mars as a ‘Malefic’ in traditional astrology and iron naturally linking with the inferior and maleficent aspect of metallurgy and metals, expressed all too tangibly in this cycle of the Mahayuga with its overwhelmingly coarse and degraded climate, the endless turbulence of wars, the ubiquitous atmosphere of aggression which increasingly characterizes daily life in the modern world and the relentless emphasis upon violence in popular culture. Again this chimes with certain concepts in Esoterism, particularly traditonal Kabbalistic ideas re. the connection between Mars and demonic and infra-human powers and Rene Guenon in particular has underlined the connection between iron and metals in this inferior aspect and the demonic potencies (Klippoth) in Jewish mysticism.
Very Best Wishes,
