The Blue Origin New Shepherd flight, with an all-female crew, launched on April 14, 2025. From launch to return, conspiracies exploded all over the Internet with claims that the rocket was fake, the return capsule was fake, it was all staged, space isn't real, and so on. Author and model Emily Ratajkowski made it political, saying: "It just speaks to the fact that we are absolutely living in an oligarchy where there is a small group of people who are interested in going to space for the sake of getting a new lease on life while the rest of the population, most people on planet Earth, are worried about paying rent or having dinner for their kids.” And she is correct in a way, additionallu since Kalpana Chawla and Sally Ride seem to be ignored as pioneers of women in space. Rather than discussing such things, perhaps we should look at the significance of the names, dates, and symbols involved instead.Preparations for the flight were lengthy, but pre-flight would have begun on Palm Sunday, with the actual launch and return occurring on Holy Monday. As with the return of spring and resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, both relating to death, life, and rebirth, so too does the Blue Origin capsule and mission exemplify these characteristics - from the all female crew to the messages of unity and peace displayed from start to finish, and finally to the nature of the rocket itself, which resembles an erect penis with exaggerated head. This penis projectile penetrated the blue above with its white sperm-head load being returned to the ground below at the onset of spring. The capsule carrying the women was named New Shepherd, a moniker of Jesus Christ (“I am the good shepherd” - John 10:11) and various other deities such as Orpheus and Hermes-Mercury (guide of souls known as Good Shepherd), who held sacred The Path. These shepherds or civilizers included Quetzalcoatl, and Osiris, or the green god of Egypt. It was Osiris who presided over the Hall of Judgement in the underworld, a place where the deceased's heart was weighted against the feather (often blue) of Ma'at, goddess of truth and justice. If the heart weighed more, being heavy with desire, it was consumed by the beast Ammit, but if the feather, or soul, weighed more, then it was set free with eternal life and granted passaged to the Field of Reeds. Although such Egyptian reeds to do not grow in Texas, similar plants and reeds do, which is a critical detail because this is where the spent white (sperm) capsule returned to earth. The logo of Blue Origin is also a blue feather, which shares something in common with the former Twitter-X logo and the alternative Blue Sky butterfly logo. One of the most famous people inside the capsule was Katy Perry, who had the nickname of “feather” since childhood, something not overlooked as she wore the blue feather on her suit during the mission. As seen in her Dark Horse video and in a 2019 social media post, Perry often references Egyptian mythology, and particularly that the heart should be lighter than a feather. Symbol dictionaries will tell us that a bird represents thought, imagination, synthesis, and sublimation. In Egypt, the bird was BA - the soul. A blue bird in particular is a representation of pure ideas. Blue butterflies represent transformation and new life, i.e., spring. In Greek mythology, the butterfly famously refers to the soul or mind, hence its name psyche.Perry is also on the New Shepherd video holding both a blue butterfly in one shot and a white daisy in another shot. These flowers represent much the same thing butterflies and birds symbolize, though they have a direct connection to the Norse goddess Freya, for whom Friday (Good Friday) is named. Furthermore, in Christian symbolism, a white daisy is the flower of the Virgin Mary, which historically has been a title and a surname of magdal-elder, meaning Watchtower of the Flock, the same flock the shepherd watches over. The Irish goddess Brigid (also Brighid) presided over the festival of Imbolc, an early spring holy day celebrating the end of winter. Known as the Exalted One, she was a goddess of healing, fertility, and birth. From The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Mythology, authors Arthur Cotterell and Rachel Storm confirm this: “Brigid, sometimes known as Brigit, was a goddess of healing and fertility who was believed to assist women in labour.” Spring is, of course, when the earth is reborn. Some have pointed out that the NS-31 logo can be inverted to show not a spaceship but a goat head, which is perhaps one of the most misunderstood symbols in the western world. The goat is Capricorn, Pan, Cernunnos, and various other characters with horns and features that remind many of the Devil, largely due to the usage of goats for the relieving of sin - scapegoats (Leviticus 16:8-10). It is from the goat horns that we get the term “horny,” yet another reference to sexuality and reproduction. It is therefore no surprise that Jack Parsons, the infamous rocket engineer, invoked the name of the Greek god Pan before most rocket tests. Pan is a fertility god, and his invocation provides fertility for the test, the sexual imagery of the rocket itself, and so on. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

We've looked at what Holy Week is, Palm Sunday and Holy Monday. But what really happened Tuesday? Jesus was getting it done. Let's find out together the significance of His final words to the crowds and what He had to say about the fig tree He cursed the day before.

Welcome to Day 2 of our Passion Week series!Today, we reflect on the powerful moment when Jesus cleanses the temple—a bold act that reveals His passion for pure worship and righteous living. What does this story mean for us today? How does Jesus want to cleanse our hearts and lives? Join us as we dig into Scripture, reflect, and pray together.
This is a re-release of Episode 37 of Season 3, which is a Holy Monday meditation on Mark 11:12-14 and 20-25 where Jesus curses the fig tree and uses the illustration to teach us about abiding, prayer, and forgiveness.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!The sacred journey of Holy Week begins with a powerful meditation on fidelity. Today's reflection takes us to Bethany, where Mary anoints Jesus' feet with precious spikenard and wipes them with her hair. The fragrance fills the entire house – a beautiful metaphor for how genuine devotion spreads and touches everyone nearby.At the heart of this meditation lies a striking contrast: Mary's selfless love against Judas's calculating betrayal. When Judas objects to this "waste" of expensive perfume, Jesus defends Mary, recognizing her act as preparation for his coming burial. "The poor you will always have with you," he tells them, "but me, you will not always have." Through this exchange, we glimpse Christ's special appreciation for contemplative devotion alongside active charity.This Holy Monday presents us with a profound personal challenge. The meditation gently suggests that both Mary's fidelity and Judas's treason exist within each of us. Every sin represents a small betrayal, while each act of devotion mirrors Mary's loving gesture. As we journey through this most sacred week, we're invited to intensify our prayer life, give generously according to our means, and recognize Christ's presence in the poor around us. Whether through material help or through prayer, Holy Week calls us to examine where we stand between these two paths – contemplation and treason – and to nurture the faithful heart that pours out its most precious gifts at the feet of our Lord.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Jesus doesn't overlook sin — He confronts it with truth and passion. On Holy Monday, Jesus entered the temple and overturned the tables of corruption, calling God's people back to purity and true worship. In this episode, Pastor Stephen unpacks why this moment matters, what it reveals about Jesus' heart, and how believers today must invite Him to cleanse their own lives and make room for what matters most — His presence.Show Notes: "Holy Monday – Cleansing the Temple"Main Topics Covered:✔️ The meaning of Holy Monday in the Easter story.✔️ Why Jesus cleansed the temple and what it teaches us.✔️ How religious systems can drift from their original purpose.✔️ The call to personal holiness and repentance.✔️ Purity makes room for God's presence and healing.Key Scriptures:
In this special Holy Week edition of Side Notes, Pastors Arch and Josh launch a daily podcast series to guide the church through the last week of Jesus' earthly life—culminating in His death and resurrection. With their usual mix of casual humor (go Duke!) and heartfelt reflection, they dive deep into Scripture, theology, and real-life application. Pastors Arch and Josh walk through the story of Jesus cleansing the temple (Mark 11:15–19) and what it means for us today. Their honest, thoughtful conversation blends historical context, theological depth, and real-life reflection—creating space for listeners to not just understand the story, but to respond to it. Ultimately, this episode reminds us of Jesus' fierce love, His passion for justice, and His deep desire for all people to come to Him freely. And it challenges each of us to make sure we're not just flipping tables, but opening doors.
Send me a Text Message!The four gospels are basically biographies of Jesus, but unlike most biographies you've ever read, the gospels pretty much ignore the first 30 years of Jesus' life. They dive into his last three years, but of his last three years, about 1/3 of the pages of the gospels are dedicated to his last week. Sunday to Sunday. 8 days. Apparently the people who knew him best felt we could not get Jesus if we don't get this week in his life. What happens in these eight days is the hot burning center of his life. So here is what we are going to do for the last episodes of this Lent-series. Each episode will land on a story, an event, a truth from that day of that week. Which means that maybe, I'll even do In-between Saturday and Resurrection Sunday. If you want Palm Sunday go to our youtube page youtube.com/calvarycwow. That was my message for this weekend. But for Holy Monday...we're talking about the problem with sacred places!
Thanks for joining us for our Holy Week Prayer Week! We hope you are encouraged and challenged as we cry out Maranatha this Holy Week! Gloria Patri:Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

We're back with day 2 of Holy Week - Holy Monday. From cursing the fig tree to clearing the Temple, come with us to discover the significance of what happened on this day in the final week of Jesus' life.

We begin our time together for Holy Week by looking at the cleansing of the Temple. This is an interesting story, and also one that can be a danger to us. We see Jesus flip tables and make a whip. It is tempting for us to run first to “that” Jesus. If we are going to be honest, very few of us have the spiritual maturity to run to flip tables. I know that I don't. But what is actually happening here? We'll take a few minutes to talk about what the cleansing of the Temple is really about, and how this affects our prayer.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Key Bible Verse: "And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves."And seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves alone; and He said to it, “No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you.” And at once the fig tree withered." Matthew 21:12, 19

As we traverse the solemnity of Holy Monday, our meditation today draws upon the wisdom of Bishop Jacques Bot, as presented by Sophia Institute Press. His reflections guide us through the poignant act of Mary anointing Jesus at Bethany, a moment rich with the symbolism of true worship and sacrifice. We immerse ourselves in the narrative that contrasts the sincere piety of Mary with the deceitful veneer of charity shown by Judas, leading us to introspect our own motivations and expressions of love and homage.Support the show********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon
On Holy Monday, Jesus cleansed the temple, driving out corruption and greed, and healing the afflicted. This act reminds us to cleanse our hearts, making room for Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Let's pray for forgiveness, seek purity, and dedicate ourselves to glorifying God. May our lives reflect the cleansing power of Jesus. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dailyrowe/support
During the last week of Jesus' life, He returned to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. When He entered the temple complex, Jesus expected to see people praying, praising, and thanking God. Instead, He witnessed money changers and merchants exploiting and overcharging the people. And, because they set up shop in the Court of Gentiles, they made it useless as a place of prayer and worship for the Gentiles. Jesus was filled with such a wave of righteous anger that He overturned the tables and drove the money changers out.
Thanks for joining us for our Holy Week Prayer Week! We hope you are encouraged and moved into a posture of prayer through this digital liturgy. Apostle's Creed:I believe in God, the Father almighty,creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the Virgin Mary,suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died, and was buried;he descended to the dead.On the third day he rose again;he ascended into heaven,he is seated at the right hand of the Father,and he will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy Church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen.Lord's Prayer:Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever, amen.
