In the ten divisions of the zodiac are the symbols that represent her life (the eleventh and the twelfth have been added). In the ancient symbolism whenever the ten signs appear those which were hers were hidden, i. e., the two added degrees. That which is now Twelve - in the signs of the Zodiac - was the ten and two; thus you understand or perceive the degrees, and in the signs of the Zodiac, as revealed at the point where the sun (seemingly) enters upon the vernal equinox, and also where the winter solstice begins, were the "signs" of her reign.
Yet, were you entering the Temple of this Goddess, you would give the signs thus: - ten and two - as including the eleventh and twelfth degrees, the two being added. One is never spoken; so that inner dual revealment of the Solar system, made the symbols ten and two (omitting the numbers seven, two and one) to be deified under her reign. All subdivisions were supposed to be complete; but the number two was never mentioned, since that symbolized the Divine Mother and her companion, who were Sacred and Silent in the great Solar Kingdom.
As the light came forth from this Kingdom, all the Earth was adorned with the graciousness of her Presence, and thus was brought anew the Celestial knowledge unto the nations of the Earth, which was revealed and carried forward in the Previous Dispensations, and was found at the beginning of this: Knowledge of the mother of converging nations, i. e.: all the nations that worshipped at the shrine of the sun and understood the Symbolism that pictured this Divinity.
When, in the Symbolism adopted by Christianity the full knowledge of the life and its symbols, is at last revealed as "twelve" (see the twelve stars of the Apocalyptic Vision; although the ten and the silent two in the ancient kingdom and the "Twelve Disciples" of Jesus), there is manifested a broad and distinct recognition of all that was symbolized in this and the fact is revealed that the Hebrew words which had mystic origin and are interpreted in the masculine significance alone, bore in their primal meanings the feminine Divinity; and this Divinity that differed from those Divinities of the North, the Seven "Time Keepers," adapted the thought of the "Wise Ones" of the Earth to the especial kingdom of the Light of the Sun; the recognition of the Sun as the Source of Life and Light instead of depending upon the Northern constellations for the measurement of Time.
