VAHAGN AGNI

Notes on TEMPLE OF FIRE

Vesta is the virgin/pure goddess of the hearth, home, and family in Rome. However She was rarely depicted in human form, and was often represented by the fire of her temple in the Forum Romanum. Entry to her temple was permitted only to her priestesses, the Vestals, who tended the sacred fire at the hearth in her temple. She was the daughter of Saturn and Ops, and sister of Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Juno, and Ceres. Saturn was named after the Roman god Saturnus, equated to the Greek Kronos, the Titan father of Jupiter (Zeus). Saturn's astrological symbol represents this god's sickle, as well as the elevation of the cross of Matter above the semi-circle and openness of Spirit. Vestas,  Greek equivalent is Hestia in Ancient Greek religion. Hestia (/ˈhɛstiə, ˈhɛstʃə/; Greek: Ἑστία, "hearth" or "fireside") is the virgin goddess of the hearth, the right ordering of domesticity, the family, the home, and the state. In Greek mythology, she is the eldest daughter and firstborn child of the Titans Kronos and Rhea. 

Zoroastrian Fire temples (the Zoroastrian terms are more prosaic and simply mean "house of fire") agai the fire is considered to be an agent of purity and a symbol of righteousness and truth. In the present day this is explained to be because fire burns ever-upward and cannot itself be polluted.

Concerning the status of Vesta's hearth, Dionysius of Halicarnassus had this to say: "And they regard the fire as consecrated to Vesta, because that goddess, being the Earth and occupying the central position in the universe, kindles the celestial fires from herself." Ovid agreed, saying: "Vesta is the same as the earth, both have the perennial fire: the Earth and the sacred Fire are both symbolic of home." The sacred flames of the hearth were believed to be indispensable for the preservation and continuity of the comunity and the Roman State: Cicero states it explicitly. The purity of the flames sy and thembolised the vital force that is the root of the life of the community. It was also because the virgins' ritual concern extended to the agricultural cycle and ensured a good harvest that Vesta enjoyed the title of Mater ("Mother").

Deities associated with the number 6 include Athena, the Greek Goddess of Wisdom; Bacchus, the Roman God of Wine and Hermes, the Greek God of Communication.Vahagni (Armenian: Վահագն) Vah- Agni. ()Agní is a Sanskrit word meaning fire and connotes the Vedic fire god of Hinduism. Vahagn in Ancient Armenia was an original symbol of the flame of fire, the spirit was loved 'worshiped,' and respected above all in Armenia. It is said that some time during a more recent period of ancient history, Vahagn formed a "triad" with Aramazd and Anahit. Or Ara and Ana. Heavenly L Masculin and Feminine.

Ancient Armenian origin of Vahagn's birth song. Vahan is the fire within.

In travail were heaven and earth,

In travail, too, the purple sea!

The travail held in the sea the small red reed.

Through the hollow of the stalk came forth smoke,

Through the hollow of the stalk came forth flame,

And out of the flame a youth ran!

Fiery hair had he,

Ay, too, he had flaming beard,

And his eyes, they were as suns!

Vahagn is described in the poem as having been born from the purple sea, like was said of Constantine, a child born to a reigning emperor was said to be porphyrogenitos, "born in the purple". 

We have others like in Greek mythology, the Titan Prometheus steals the heavenly fire for humanity, enabling the progress of civilization and according to the Rig Veda, the hero Mātariśvan recovered fire, which had been hidden from humanity.
In the Book of Enoch, the fallen angels and Azazel teach early humanity to use tools and fire. 

Looking into the colour violet purple or the Tyrian royalty color from which Vahgne and Constantine were said to be born, one has to agree the colour has to be seen to be understood, names get lost in translation, that said my best researched discrimination of this Tyrian purple,  was said to be the same as well coagulated blood and that it altered in time and sunlight. metaphors abound, hope you see what I am getting at.

Bright Red

Bright red blood usually tells us that it is fresh, or new, blood. When your flow is heavy, you’ll like see bright red (or pink) blood. This is blood, possibly the color of blood of birth. Some women will stay this shade for their whole cycle, which means their flow/uterine shedding is consistent.

Dark Red

You may see dark red blood when you wake up and first use the bathroom on your cycle, in the morning. Or during the middle of your cycle. This is blood that has been sitting in the uterus for a little while. Royal?

VAHAGN = ORJONI-KIDZ = ORION'S LINE, This is telling us that Armenian Vahagn is from the line of Orion who is associated with Hayg, the one who brought forth, represents the Dawn of the Armenian Culture. H=HierosGamos AYG=Dawn.

The Hindi AGNI MA-TARIS-VAN IS THE ARMENIAN VAHAGN AND GREEK PROMETHEUS. 

Mātariśvan ("growing in the mother", from the vocative of "mother", mātari, and a root śvi "to grow, swell") in the Rigveda is a name of Agni (the sacrificial fire, the "mother" in which it grows being the fire-stick), or of a divine being closely associated with Agni, a messenger of Vivasvat, bringing the hidden fire to the Bhrigus. Sayana identifies him with Vayu, the wind, in RV 1.93.6. In the Atharvaveda and later, the word also has the meaning of "air, wind, breeze". It is also a name of Shiva, of a son of Garuda, and of a Rishi.

VahAgn/ Vahakn (Armenian: Վահագն) a god of fire, Vahagn Vishapakagh (Vahagn the Dragon Reaper) was a god of fire, thunder, and war worshiped in ancient Armenia. I posit the etymology of the second part of his name -agn is agni/fire, as his birth demonstrates, as described in the poem below. A being of Fire, a becoming from Water, Agni for 'fire' (light and heat), Vaya or Vaha for 'air' (energy and action). He was worshiped anciently and historically in Ancient Armenia. The time, relatively late, connects his name in history, in a formed "triad" with Aramazd and Anahit. Vahagn was later identified with the Greek deity Heracles.

Agni is originally conceptualized as the ultimate source of the "creator-maintainer-destroyer" triad, then one of the trinities, as the one who ruled the earth. His twin brother Indra ruled the atmosphere as the god of storm, rain and war, while Surya ruled the sky and heavens. His position and importance evolves over time, in the "creator-maintainer-destroyer" aspects of existence in Hindu thought.

The priests of Vahévahian temple, who claimed Vahagn as their own ancestor, from the line of Orion/Haig, placed a statue of the Greek hero in their sanctuary. In the Armenian translation of the Bible, "Heracles, worshipped as Tyr" was renamed "Vahagn".

All the gods, according to the Euhemerist belief, it was said had been living men; Vahagn likewise was introduced within the ranks of the Armenian kings, as a son of the Orontid Dynasty (or Yervanduni dynasty, 6th century B.C.), together with his brothers — Bab and Tiran.

Historian Khorenatsi's report of an ancient song gives a clue to his nature and origin:

Ancient Armenian origin of Vahagn's birth song FIRE FROM WATER

In travail were heaven and earth,

In travail, too, the purple sea!

The travail held in the sea the small red reed.

Through the hollow of the stalk came forth smoke,

Through the hollow of the stalk came forth flame,

And out of the flame a youth ran!

Fiery hair had he,

Ay, too, he had flaming beard,

And his eyes, they were as suns!

Other parts of the song, now lost, said that Vahagn fought and conquered dragons, hence his title Vishabakagh, "dragon reaper", where dragons in Armenian lore are identified as "Vishaps". He was invoked as a god of courage, later identified with Heracles. He was also a sun-god, rival of Baal-shamin and Mihr.

The Vahagnian song was sung to the accompaniment of the lyre by the bards of Goghten (modern Akulis), long after the conversion of Armenia to Christianity.

The stalk or reed, is a vital key to the origin of the transformation from sea to air through water, it is an important word in Indo-European mythology, in connection with fire in its three forms. Vahagn was linked to Verethragna, (again the suffix - agni,) the hypostasis of victory in the texts of the Avesta; the name turned into Vahagn (the Avestan "th" becoming "h" in Arsacid Middle Persian), later on to take the form of Vahagn. See Վահագն for more on the origin of the name.

The name of the Armenian princely house of Vahevunis is believed to derive from Vahagn. The Vahevunis were ranked high in the Royal Register of Armenia, recorded by King Valarshak. In pre-Christian Armenia, the Vahevunis hereditarily possessed the temple town of Ashtishat on the left bank of the Aratzani river and most likely also held the post of the Sparapet, i.e., the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Armenian Army, in the earliest prehistoric period.
