It is evident that the Rooster of Hermes is the guide of the souls in the theurgic and initiatory rites of Solar Aesculapius.

The roosters (gr.a-lé-ktor) have been the sacred solar heralds in legendary China, India and the East for many thousands of years.

The Lapis Philosophorum is the product of the Opus-Magnum as the '' egg of the wise ''.

It is subtle and philosophical Mercury = '' The Egg that he has in the other hand indicates that the four elements of the Shell; the white, the membrane, and the yolk the Quintessence is born: The Chicken, which represents the Lapis ''

(Salomon Trismosin: Splendor Solis, London, XVI).

Thus, the lively figure of the rooster (gallus domesticus) is often associated with Sun

His sure and rhythmic morning song is an unmistakable sign of the precise hour to get up.

In the Holy Scriptures = Bible, frequent allusions are related to the prophecy of the Master Jesus, in the triple 'auditory denial' of the angry Peter.

Close to Mizpá or Mispé = Watchtower, they find a valuable Seal with the figure of an onyx Rooster inscribed:

"Belonging to Jaazanias, servant of the King". Rooster symbol of the mystical solarization process of the Alchemical Rose.

In Japan the Solar Rooster was a sign of the Goddess coming out of the cave of the dark night, symbolizing the solar victory of the power of light-Sun = Rooster and Light.

Alchemical rooster representing the cold and wet Mercury in its interior is transformed into hidden sulfur. Snake Egg = Ouroboros in eternal circulation of the four elements. Egg-shell = Earth Egg-clear = water Egg-cloth or membrane under the shell = Air Egg-Yolk = Fire = 4-Elements of the Process of alchemical solarization of the sacred Egg. (Aurora Consurgens)

'' The Egg preserves life and his Essence ''

(Master Florido Paracelsus)

The evidence seems reasonable, that also in Palestine, certain exclusive roosters are raised, apart from domestic ones, for the Temple and its rituals early in the 7th century B.C.

Often in the important tradition of early Christianity, the Rooster is a positive symbol (Rooster Mass) and faithfully represents vigilance against evil.

Because when singing in the morning, he manages to represent and symbolize the victory of light over the darkness of night, the sun, and the portentous and glorious solar illumination

(Jack Tresidder, Symbols and Their Meanings p. 61).

On the other hand, in both China and Japan, within the most private areas of the Shinto Temples, the rooster is considered sacred.

To this end, its beautiful crest in intense red color symbolized the sun and fire among the Syrians, Egyptians and Greeks.

In certain reviled traditions of Caribbean Santeria, the importance of the rooster is associated with powerful and effective cleanses or truly impressive expiations.

To this end, the enigmatic and controversial practice of the unknown Haitian voodoo, the constant use of the Rooster and its hidden properties in atoning blood in moving scenes for believers.

"From the belief in a link between the deceased and the rooster, usually black, they derive the sacrifices of roosters to come into contact with the former."

(Udo Becker, Encyclopedia of Symbols, p. 147).

In aristocratic Europe, in its archaic mythology, there is ample and documented evidence of some bloody and bloody rituals; associated with the emasculation and religious approval of eunuch priests associated with the Gallo (Galli), in enigmatic and 'curious offerings'

(Mircea Eliade, History of Religious Beliefs, Volume II, pp. 334-335).

"It is likely that this sacrifice will replace the self-mutilation of the mistes, since it offered the goddess the sexual organs of the victim ... in the likeness of the gallus, which entered the sacrosanct place to offer the goddess the spoils of its mutilation"

( Mircea Eliade, p. 336).

On the other hand, the scholar Pierre Chuvin, specifically points out the prohibition that Constantine makes public, against the constant bloody sacrifices and the formal prohibition issued against the Gallus and their castration.

For the Egyptians, she will be closely associated with the ceremonies and rites for the safe rise of the Nile

(Pierre Chuvin, A Chronicle of the Last Pagans, p. 32).

In the Prisca Theologia or Primordial Tradition of the Florido Master, -Neoplatonic tradition- Marsilio Ficino; the morning crowing of the rooster is associated with music and sunrise:

“gallus quasi quibusdam hymnis applaudit surgenti soli”

(Proclus, De Sacr.et Mag. Translated by M. Ficino in Opera Omnia after DP Walker, Spiritual and Demonic Magic , p. 37).

In the Traditions of the spiritual mysticism of Orphic; the night is similar to a Cosmic Egg. Thanks to her, the Solar Bird -associated in Hermeticism with the rooster- manages to resurface in the morning;

(Algis Uzdavynis, Orpheus and the Roots of Platonism, p. 16).

These ancient initiatory traditions are a fertile place where the mythology of Kronos, Uranus, Zeus is fused.

They are responsible for the birth of the beautiful Venus-Aphrodite.

Deep esoteric genital meanings and contents, some of them related to castration, the rooster and the astronomical nature of cosmic eggs.

(Walter Burkert: Babylon, Memphis, Persepolis, pp. 90-93).

We cannot hide the sanguinary cults consecrated to the blood of the pine of Attis, of the Galloi or castratis, -dies sanguinis-, they come to be evidenced in Rome around 204 BC. C.

Strongly established in the well-known Cult of the Mother of the Sacred Mountain or Meter Idaia = Meter Dindymene.

(Walter Burkert (Ancient Mystery Cults, pp. 6, 25, 36, 77, 81, 85).

During the Renaissance, the Wisdom of the hermetic and mercurial followers of the Master Florido Marsilio Ficino, made a sure hand, to the wide and deep relationship between Hermes and Mercury with the rooster, among their most profound theurgical ritual trials and practices, to be able to fly on serene mercurial wings over their hidden vision of the world.

“An image of Mercury, described by Ficino is“ A helmeted man sitting on a throne, with eagle's feet, holding a cock or fire in his left hand ”…

(Frances A. Yates, Giordano Bruno and The Hermetic Tradition, p. 71).

In the Picatrix, images of Hermes and the rooster are common.

For the scholar Frances Yates, the theurgic magic of Giordano Bruno (Spacio della beia trionfante) is closely linked to animals such as the rooster:

“The cock is a most beautiful, tuneful, noble, generous, magnanimous, solar, imperial, almost divine creature , and when it has vanquished evil cocks in conflict it shows its supremacy in song. The cock, of course, represents the French Monarchy ”

(Frances Yates, pp. 202, 212, 213).

The solar helmet of Apollo = Sun is decorated with a large Rooster and adorns its multi-colored crest.

The wise Campanella greets the son of the French Monarchy as the French Rooster (Documenta ad Gallorum nationen en: Opuscoli inediti).

For historian Dr. Gus Frithiof, cockfighting was an integral part of the important events of the American Revolution.

The historian recalls that there was a struggle to choose between the rooster and the eagle as a national symbol for the nascent colonies in the 18th century (18).

It is then that a Congressional Committee is created and, already then, after a heated debate, in which Benjamin Franklin defended the peculiarities of the rooster against the eagle, it won by only one vote.

The symbol that he had lost had a fighting rooster facing the world, surrounded by a circle and around it the Latin phrase.

NIL DESPERANDUM = Never Desperate.

Instead of that symbol they chose the famous one:

E Pluribus Unum = Among Many, One.

Throughout the millennia the rooster has represented cultures, peoples (Gauls), and has been a symbol of war, the military and, a faithful representative of the concept of bravery and warlike courage.

Among the Greeks the rooster is considered a sacred animal.

Let us remember the wise Socrates who, before dying poisoned, asks for a rooster as a sacrificial offering to Aesculapius.

Thus, the Greek general Themistocles tells his troops on the fighting foot before fighting the Persians (450 BC).

"Act like the Rooster before the fight that does not fight for himself but goes to the battle arena for VICTORY ITSELF".

In the 19th century there was a gamecock named "Jake Donelson." This extraordinary rooster was a documentary and official member of the Confederate Army of the South.

According to various historical documents from the prestigious Library of Congress, this whole story begins with a simple joke until Company H of the Tennessee Third Infantry Division had the wise idea to adopt “Jake as their mascot.

Jake accompanied them throughout the bloody and bloody military campaign without ever abandoning them or trying to flee.

It was his great and loyal inspiration until the precise and painful moment of falling prisoners of war ...

In 1864, Jake died of natural cause and the men and veterans of Company H, rendered him great military honors, made him his military burial ... and the deserved 21-gun salute to the hero was sounded in his honor.

Since 1977, the North American Congress prohibits cockfighting and penalizes their transportation between states.

It is well known that the Freemason Jorge Washington liked cockfighting.

Even Andrew Jackson had fighting cocks in the White House!

Trump cares for "plucked chickens" - possibly for himself, though he later denies it, and gives life to a sad annual Turkey.

Another of these memorable historical facts happened in Alabama in June 1919, when they were building the famous bridge over the Tombigee River.

This important bridge would form an integral part of the; "Dixie Overland, Highway" and would pass over the river near Demopolis.

Many difficulties and setbacks appear in the arduous process of its construction.

The problem was miraculously resolved when the wealthy Alabama cockerels wisely decided to organize a great National Cock Fight, which attracted national and international attention.

According to the National and State Archives of Alabama and, no less important documents from the prestigious Library of Don Gabino Azucena Del Lirio Blanco (Gnostic-Hermetic Secret Archives Folio 33, section, 787, 1953); it was President Woodrow Wilson himself, who sent presidential plane # 1 with a large presidential delegation of beautiful and brave fighting cocks.

The delegation arrived and was received by the prestigious North American Navy Band and,… the roosters paraded to the harmonious chords of the sounded hymns of the colorful Band.

A young gargantua Gallus sang the National Anthem while an inevitable fight formed Don Gabino Azucena del Lirio Blanco when he saw the sandunguera back of a beautiful mulatto pass by ...

Magnum MiraCulum! ... I don't know Latin ..

While ... they got off the presidential plane in a military line of Gallos Bravos de Peléa =Brave Soldiers of Fight.

Imagine the Soft Parade!
