by Cronos, whose affection she returned. When Ra discovered his wife's infidelity he
was wrathful indeed, and pronounced a curse upon her, saying that her child should
not be born in any month or in any year. Now the curse of Ra the mighty could not be
turned aside; for Ra was the chief of all the gods. In her distress Nut called upon the
god Thoth (the Greek Hermes), who also loved her. Thoth knew that the curse of Ra
must be fulfilled, yet by very cunning stratagem he found a way out of the difficulty.
He went to Silene, the moon-goddess, whose light rivaled that of the sun herself, and
challenged her at the gaming table. The stakes on both sides were light, but Silene
staked some of her light, the seventieth part of each of her illuminations, and lost.
Thus it came about that her light wanes and dwindles at certain periods, so that she
is no longer the rival of the sun. From the light, which he had won from the moon-
goddess Thoth made five days which he added to the year (at that time consisting of
three hundred and sixty days) in such a way that they belonged neither to the preced-

ing nor to the following year, nor to any month. On these five days Nut was delivered
of her five children: Osiris was born on the first day, Horus on the second, Set on the
third, Isis on the fourth and Nephthys on the fifth. (Another version gives the children
143
of Nut as: Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys and Anubis)».
Before we go to the analysis of the above fragment of text, let us read a little
more in order to get the “picture” clearer:

«Everything which the texts of all periods record concerning Osiris goes to
show that he was an indigenous god of North-east Africa, and that his home and
origin were possibly Libyan. In any case, we may take it that Osiris was genuinely
African in origin and that he was indigenous to the soil of the Dark Continent». 144

The legend clearly states that Osiris and his brothers and sisters appeared against
Ra’s will and in contrast to him. It ensues from this legend that the birth of Osiris and
Isis is directly related to the Moon cult. The Sun and Moon cults have been always
opposed to each other. The cult of the Sun-Ra reflected the position of Light Space
Forces, while the cult of the Moon was that of Dark Forces (social parasites). I would
like to draw your attention to one interesting fact.

Before the events described in legend happened, an earthly year had had three
hundred and sixty days and there was no possibility for the Goddess Rhea to give
birth to the children who would become the reason the God Ra was overthrown. She
had her five children during five days which the God Thoth created out of the God-
dess Silene’s moonlight … This is a legend. Now let us look at this legend from an-
other point of view, assuming that the legend keeps the real information which re-
flects real events of the past. The year had three hundred and sixty days on Midgard-
earth until the additional five days were created out of moonlight. What real events
could possibly be behind these words? Let us think a little.
