My Personal Beast Ring
It's basically a very simple Silver Titanium Ring. Some people like to use Rings like these as Wedding Rings, but as long as it's not on your Ring Finger it doesn't mean you're married unless you like to wear your Wedding Ring on other fingers, but the reason I basically decided not to attribute the Ring Fingers to any particular Planet was basically because those fingers are pretty much reserved for Engagement Rings and Wedding Rings, so that's pretty much why I left them out.
If you do get married though I suppose the Ring fingers could also be attributed to Venus and Mars.
I basically concluded Mars should actually be more of a Male Symbol rather than a Symbol for War. Sol is actually the Planet that would correspond more to War considering Ra-Hoor-Khut.
Edit: I was thinking if those are sometimes used as Wedding Rings why not get a Golden One instead? And then I noticed Golden Ones are used as Wedding Rings as well, so all simple Gold Ones and all simple Silver Ones can be used as Wedding Rings.
I didn't want my Beast Ring to have any markings on it, so it should pretty much be assumed that if it's not on your Ring Finger then it's not a Wedding Ring.
Engagement Rings are typically Diamond Rings though. Wedding Rings are the ones used in the exchanging of the Rings Ceremony during a Wedding, not the ones typically used as Engagement proposal rings, they're two different kinds of Rings.
Edit: I have to be honest I just bought this Silver Titanium Ring for like $48 bux at Wal-Mart Lol
Edit: Also I forgot to mention when using Beast Rings it would be suggested to find one that fits perfectly on your Thumb and Middle Finger and then it should fit just fine on your Index Fingers, but you would probably need a separate smaller one for the Pinky Fingers.
Edit: The Ring Finger also I have to add is also a different size, so that would make like 3 different Rings, which actually reminds me of "ΘΘΘ".

The Ancient Olympic Games
"The ancient Olympic Games (Ancient Greek: τὰ Ὀλύμπια – ta Olympia; Modern Greek: Ὀλυμπιακοὶ Ἀγῶνες (Katharevousa), Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες (Dimotiki) – Olympiakoi Agones) were a series of athletic competitions among representatives of various city-states of Ancient Greece. They were held in honor of Zeus, and the Greeks gave them a mythological origin. Historical records indicate that they began in 776 BC in Olympia. They continued to be celebrated when Greece came under Roman rule, until the emperor Theodosius I suppressed them in 394 AD as part of the campaign to impose Christianity as the state religion of Rome. The games were usually held every four years, or olympiad, which became a unit of time in historical chronologies.
During the celebration of the games, an Olympic Truce was enacted so that athletes could travel from their countries to the games in safety. The prizes for the victors were wreaths of laurel leaves. The games became a political tool used by city-states to assert dominance over their rivals. Politicians would announce political alliances at the games, and in times of war, priests would offer sacrifices to the gods for victory. The games were also used to help spread Hellenistic culture throughout the Mediterranean. The Olympics also featured religious celebrations and artistic competitions. A Statue of Zeus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, was erected at Olympia to preside over the games, though it no longer stands. Sculptors and poets would congregate each olympiad to display their works of art to would-be patrons.
The ancient Olympics had fewer events than the modern games, and only free men who spoke Greek could compete (although a woman Bilistiche is also mentioned as a winning chariot owner.) As long as they met the entrance criteria, athletes from any country or city-state were allowed to participate. The games were always held at Olympia rather than alternating to different locations as is the tradition with the modern Olympic Games.[1] Victors at the Olympics were highly honored and praised, and their feats chronicled for future generations." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Olympic_Games

The Olympics
I can't believe why I had forgotten about the Ancient Greek God's of Mythology who were actually the basis for the Olympics in the first place. I'm going to have to do something special in honor of the Gods of the Olympics.
This is of course going to be the first one since it's the first year we finally trace Tiberius Ancestors all the way back to the Olympics in which the Olympics are going underway.
It's going to take some time to construct, so I'm just going to need some time do it, since it is of course the first year.
I'll be sure to have something up soon.

The Genealogy of Tiberius
The above Greek Genealogy tree demonstrates the Greek Zeus was indeed the same God as the Roman Jupiter considering his relationship with Io.
List of Latin Kings of Alba Longa
The following list is based on Livy[7] and Dionysius of Halicarnassus,[8] who is the source for the length of each reign.
Latinus, king of the "Aborigines", who gave his name to the new state of the Latins to be ruled from Laurentum by Aeneas and his own daughter Lavinia, given in marriage to Aeneas.
Aeneas, a noble Trojan leading a force fleeing from the collapse of Troy. Listed as the first Latin king by both Livy and Dionysius. He ruled at Lavinium.
Ascanius. A prior son of Aeneas and his Trojan wife Creusa. Founder of Alba Longa. Reigned there for 38 years. (BCE 1179-1141)
Silvius. A son of Aeneas and Lavinia, younger half-brother of Ascanius. Reigned for 29 years. (BCE 1141-1112)
Aeneas Silvius. A son of Silvius. Reigned for 31 years. (BCE 1112-1081)
Latinus Silvius. Possibly a son of Aeneas Silvius. Reigned for 51 years. (BCE 1081-1030)
Alba. Possibly a son of Latinus. Reigned for 39 years. (BCE 1030-991)
Atys (in Livy) or Capetus (in Dionysius). Possibly a son of Alba. Reigned for 26 years. (BCE 991-965)
Capys. Possibly a son of Capetus. Reigned for 28 years. (BCE 965-937)
Capetus (II) or Calpetus. Possibly a son of Capys. Reigned for 13 years. (BCE 937-924)
Tiberinus Silvius. Possibly a son of Capetus II. Reigned for 8 years. (BCE 924-916) Reportedly slain in battle near the Albula river and his body was carried away by it. The river was renamed Tiber.
Agrippa. Possibly a son of Tiberinus. Reigned for 41 years. (BCE 916-875)
Romulus Silvius (in Livy) or Alladius (in Dionysius). Possibly a son of Agrippa. Reigned for 19 years. (BCE 875-856) Reportedly a tyrant and contemptuous of the Gods. He frightened the people by throwing thunderbolts at them, until he himself was murdered by one and his house was submerged in the Alban Lake.
Aventinus. Possibly a son of Alladius. Reigned for 37 years. (BCE 856-819) The Aventine Hill was reportedly named after him.
Procas or Proca. Possibly a son of Aventinus. Reigned for 23 years. (BCE 819-796)
Amulius. A younger son of Procas who reportedly usurped the throne. Reigned for 42 years. (BCE 796-754) Slain by his grand-nephews Romulus and Remus.
Numitor. The older brother of Amulius. Reportedly succeeded him a year before the foundation of Rome. His successor is not named, but there must have been one, and he must have been of the same dynasty, as Gaius Cluilius, last king of Alba, descended from Aeneas, dies of natural causes while in camp during the siege of Rome under the kingship of Tullus Hostilius.
Romulus. First king of Rome, ruling at Rome. The son of Rhea Silvia, daughter of Numitor.
Kings of Rome (753 BC – 509 BC)
1. Romulus (753-717)
2. Numa Pompilius (715-673)
3. Tullus Hostilius (673-642)
4. Ancus Marcius (640-616)

Roman Empire
27 BC – AD 1453
"The First Triumvirate was the political alliance of Gaius Julius Caesar, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus.[1] Unlike the Second Triumvirate, the First Triumvirate had no official status whatsoever; its overwhelming power in the Roman Republic was strictly unofficial influence, and was in fact kept secret for some time as part of the political machinations of the Triumvirs themselves. It was formed in 59 BC and lasted until Crassus' death in 53 BC." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Triumvirate
It was after the assassination of the Roman Dictator Gaius Julius Caesar that Augustus took over and started the Roman Empire.
Gaius Julius Caesar (49BC-44BC) (This is the Caesar whom Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is based on. It's basically about his assassination. It was after his assassination that my Step-Father Caesar Augustus took over, established the Roman Empire and then I succeeded him after his reign was over and then other Caesar's followed.)
Augustus (27 BC–AD 14)
Tiberius (14–37) (Which is me the Roman Emperor during the Crucifixion of Jesus after the Conquest of Judea / Judah by Rome.)
Caligula (37–41)
Claudius (41–54)
Nero (54–68)
Galba (68-69)

Chapter 5. The Magical Control of the Weather.
Section 1. The Public Magician.
THE READER may remember that we were led to plunge into the labyrinth of magic by a consideration of two different types of man-god. This is the clue which has guided our devious steps through the maze, and brought us out at last on higher ground, whence, resting a little by the way, we can look back over the path we have already traversed and forward to the longer and steeper road we have still to climb. 1
As a result of the foregoing discussion, the two types of human gods may conveniently be distinguished as the religious and the magical man-god respectively. In the former, a being of an order different from and superior to man is supposed to become incarnate, for a longer or a shorter time, in a human body, manifesting his super-human power and knowledge by miracles wrought and prophecies uttered through the medium of the fleshly tabernacle in which he has deigned to take up his abode. This may also appropriately be called the inspired or incarnate type of man-god. In it the human body is merely a frail earthly vessel filled with a divine and immortal spirit. On the other hand, a man-god of the magical sort is nothing but a man who possesses in an unusually high degree powers which most of his fellows arrogate to themselves on a smaller scale; for in rude society there is hardly a person who does not dabble in magic. Thus, whereas a man-god of the former or inspired type derives his divinity from a deity who has stooped to hide his heavenly radiance behind a dull mask of earthly mould, a man-god of the latter type draws his extraordinary power from a certain physical sympathy with nature. He is not merely the receptacle of a divine spirit. His whole being, body and soul, is so delicately attuned to the harmony of the world that a touch of his hand or a turn of his head may send a thrill vibrating through the universal framework of things; and conversely his divine organism is acutely sensitive to such slight changes of environment as would leave ordinary mortals wholly unaffected. But the line between these two types of man-god, however sharply we may draw it in theory, is seldom to be traced with precision in practice, and in what follows I shall not insist on it. 2
We have seen that in practice the magic art may be employed for the benefit either of individuals or of the whole community, and that according as it is directed to one or other of these two objects it may be called private or public magic. Further, I pointed out that the public magician occupies a position of great influence, from which, if he is a prudent and able man, he may advance step by step to the rank of a chief or king. Thus an examination of public magic conduces to an understanding of the early kingship, since in savage and barbarous society many chiefs and kings appear to owe their authority in great measure to their reputation as magicians. 3

New Calendar - Ovid's Fasti
K, I hadn't had time to work on the Calendar since I last lost my old Calendar Image File, but it's hard work cuz it takes a long time to one down.
The New Calendar is as such it start's with the first day on March 21st (The New Aeon of Horus was started on March 20.) as the first day.
The Calendar is divided into 14 Months with 26 Day's each and the first month has 27 Day's.
364 / 14 = 26
The First Month has 27 Day's and the Calendar Starts on March 21st.\
Here is Ovid's work on the Modern Calendar not the New Thelemic Calendar it's called Ovid's Fasti: http://www.theoi.com/Text/OvidFasti1.html

I mapped out the Thelemic Year's starting with 1990 / 86 (Tiberius = 86)

I think I might have made some mistakes on the Birthdates on the Calendar or something I keep counting like 1, 2, 3... I have to keep count and stuff I'm trying not to mess up... I have to make sure I don't mess up on the counting...

Roman Empire
27 BC – AD 1453
"The First Triumvirate was the political alliance of Gaius Julius Caesar, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus.[1] Unlike the Second Triumvirate, the First Triumvirate had no official status whatsoever; its overwhelming power in the Roman Republic was strictly unofficial influence, and was in fact kept secret for some time as part of the political machinations of the Triumvirs themselves. It was formed in 59 BC and lasted until Crassus' death in 53 BC." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Triumvirate
It was after the assassination of the Roman Dictator Gaius Julius Caesar that Augustus took over and started the Roman Empire.
Gaius Julius Caesar (49BC-44BC) (This is the Caesar whom Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is based on. It's basically about his assassination. It was after his assassination that my Step-Father Caesar Augustus took over, established the Roman Empire and then I succeeded him after his reign was over and then other Caesar's followed.)
Augustus (27 BC–AD 14)
Tiberius (14–37) (Which is me the Roman Emperor during the Crucifixion of Jesus after the Conquest of Judea / Judah by Rome.)
Caligula (37–41)
Claudius (41–54)
Nero (54–68)
Galba (68-69)

Nero and Hitler - Holocaust
I thought it was interesting that both Nero and Hitler were responsible for having created a Holocaust.
Nero was responsible for holocausting Christians and Hitler responsible for holocausting Jews overall they were pretty much the same people though from the Kingdom of Judea / Judah.
What I thought was interesting about this was it may sound funny but it reminded me of murder / suicide because according to History both Nero and Hitler end up committing suicide.
Nero Caesar
"In 64, most of Rome was destroyed in the Great Fire of Rome, which many Romans believed Nero himself had started in order to clear land for his planned palatial complex, the Domus Aurea. In 68, the rebellion of Vindex in Gaul and later the acclamation of Galba in Hispania drove Nero from the throne. Facing assassination, he committed suicide on 9 June 68 (the first Roman emperor to do so).[3] His death ended the Julio-Claudian Dynasty, sparking a brief period of civil wars known as the Year of the Four Emperors. Nero's rule is often associated with tyranny and extravagance.[4] He is known for many executions, including those of his mother[5] and the probable murder by poison of his stepbrother, Britannicus." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Caesar
Adolf Hitler
"On 30 April 1945, after intense street-to-street combat, when Soviet troops were within a block or two of the Reich Chancellery, Hitler and Braun committed suicide; Braun bit into a cyanide capsule[310] and Hitler shot himself with his 7.65 mm (0.3 in) Walther PPK pistol.[311] The lifeless bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun were carried up the stairs and through the bunker's emergency exit to the bombed-out garden behind the Reich Chancellery, where they were placed in a bomb crater[312] and doused with petrol. The corpses were set on fire[313] and the Red Army shelling continued.[314]" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler#Defeat_and_death

Beast / There is No God, but Man.
I wanted to mention a very important detail about this entire revelation of me having come unto the realization of being the God King Caesar I think it only came forth to prove that all God King's were always just mere men and that there is really nothing that Magickal about them like as if they can perform Telekinesis or do any strange Magick like that. (You get the idea. Many people when they heard the term "Magus of the Aeon" they thought I was like Mary Poppins with the ability to fly and stuff like that. I have to admit that the Shiva Samhita does admit that it is possible for humans to achieve levitation, I for one have yet to really master any of the mentioned Siddhi's or Super Powers. I always figured in order to really master any of the tasks mentioned in that particular text it would be imperative to find a Guru or Specialist in the matter to really master it, which I have yet to find. I figured it would be important to travel to India or around those parts of Asia to find one.)
I just wanted to prove that I turned out to simply be an ordinary man, I'm not what you think like as in the way they would describe Jesus Christ being able to perform miracles and stuff like that. I am simply just an ordinary guy with nothing that special, but the power of my knowledge and intellectual skills.
I hate to break it to you guy's, but I am merely just a simple Man or Beast like any other Man or Beast. The Magick I can perform can performed by any other Man or Beast.
This concept I think should probably open the way to Science and Darwinism.
I was mentioning earlier on my Facebook that I decided we should start diving into Darwinism and Evolution. I had mentioned on this blog I had created a while back www.praeterwork.blogspot.com
I think the phrase
The Son of the Plants
The Son of the Beast
The Son of Man
The Son of God
Implies evolution
This one time I heard one of the voices mention something like that they think this reality is happening on multiple Time Lines somehow as in the same reality is happening in the Stone Age, this Age, and the Space Age as in this reality is also happening in a future manifestation of this reality like where there's supposed flying car's and stuff like that where everything is really futuristic, I really wouldn't know that for sure though.

Tiberius (praenomen) / It
"Tiberius is a Latin praenomen, or personal name, which was used throughout Roman history. Although not especially common, it was used by both patrician and plebeian families. The feminine form is Tiberia. The name is usually abbreviated Ti., but occasionally Tib.[1]
For most of Roman history, Tiberius was about the twelfth or thirteenth most-common praenomen. It was not used by most families, but was favored by several, including the great patrician houses of the Aemilii, Claudii, and Sempronii. It was probably more widespread amongst the plebeians, and it became more common in imperial times. The name survived the collapse of Roman civil institutions in the 5th and 6th centuries, and continued to be used into modern times.[1][2]" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_(praenomen)
I thought it was interesting to point out that this article mentions that the Name Tiberius is often Abbreviated as Ti. which backwards is apparently It.

135
Ti. is the abbreviation for Tiberius.
Nu Tiberio = 102 - The Key of it All (Inverted)
Nu Tiberio = 141 - The Key of it All
A particularly strange thing I noticed is the name "Had Tiberio" equals to 135 both in the Inverted and Regular Key of it All somehow, but I don't think I've ever found another phrase which equals to the same value in both Key's...

Imperial Name - Divi filius / Son of God
Tiberius had the latin title for "Son of God" in his Imperial Name:
"As Emperor: Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus
Imperial name: Imperator Caesar Divi filius Augustus"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Julius_Caesar_Augustus
Imperator Caesar Divi filius Augustus
"Divi filius" is Latin for "Son of God".
"As Emperor: Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus
Imperial name: Imperator Caesar Divi filius Augustus"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Julius_Caesar_Augustus
Imperator Caesar Divi filius Augustus
"Divi filius" is Latin for "Son of God".
Calculating Tiberius' Birth, Reign, and Death
I think there was some miscalculation done as to how old Tiberius was when he died.
Born 42 BC
Died 37 AD
Reigned - 14 AD to 37 AD
Year 42 BC - 1 BC
Age 1 - 42
Year 1 AD - 14 AD
Age 43 - 57
37 - 14 = 23
57 + 23 = 80
Year 37 AD
Age 80
According to the Math I did Tiberius should have been 57 when he became Emperor of Rome and died at age 80, but according to Wikipedia it say's the following:
"Born 16 November 42 BC
Died 16 March AD 37 (aged 77)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Julius_Caesar_Augustus
What I noticed that I had to pay attention to was that there was a 1 BC and a 1 AD which were different years, because I almost thought that Tiberius becomes Emperor at age 56 until I noticed I had to pay attention to the fact that there is a 1 BC and a 1 AD.
I need to keep studying this further and make sure I'm doing the Math right though...

The Deification of Julius Caesar
Bk XV:745-842 The deification of Julius Caesar
Though Aesculapius came as a stranger to our temples, Caesar is a god in his own city. Outstanding in war or peace, it was not so much his wars that ended in great victories, or his actions at home, or his swiftly won fame, that set him among the stars, a fiery comet, as his descendant. There is no greater achievement among Caesar’s actions than that he stood father to our emperor. Is it a greater thing to have conquered the sea-going Britons; to have lead his victorious ships up the seven-mouthed flood of the papyrus-bearing Nile; to have brought the rebellious Numidians, under Juba of Cinyps, and Pontus, swollen with the name of Mithridates, under the people of Quirinus; to have earned many triumphs and celebrated few; than to have sponsored such a man, with whom, as ruler of all, you gods have richly favoured the human race? Therefore, in order for the emperor not to have been born of mortal seed, Caesar needed to be made a god.
When Venus, the golden mother of Aeneas, saw this, and also saw that a grim death was being readied for Caesar, her high-priest, and an armed conspiracy was under way, she grew pale and said to every god in turn: ‘See the nest of tricks being prepared against me, and with what treachery that life is being attacked, all that is left to me of Trojan Iülus. Will I be the only one always to be troubled by well-founded anxiety: now Diomede’s Calydonian spear wounds me: now the ill-defended walls of Troy confound me, seeing my son Aeneas driven to endless wandering, storm-tossed, entering the silent house of shadows, waging war against Turnus, or, if we speak the truth, with Juno, rather? Why do I recall, now, the ancient sufferings of my race? This present fear inhibits memory of the past: look at those evil knives being sharpened. Prevent them, I beg you, thwart this attempt, and do not allow Vesta’s flames to be quenched by the blood of her priest!’
Venus in her anxiety voiced her fears throughout the heavens, but in vain, troubling the gods, who though they could not break the iron rules of the ancient sisters, nevertheless gave no uncertain omens of imminent disaster. They say weapons, clashing among black clouds, and terrifying trumpets and horns, foretelling crime, were heard from the sky: and that the face of the sun, darkened, gave out a lurid light, over the troubled earth. Often, firebrands were seen, burning in the midst of the stars: often drops of blood rained from the clouds: Lucifer, the morning star, was dulled, with rust-black spots on his disc, and the moon’s chariot was spattered with blood.
The Stygian owl sounded its sad omens in a thousand places: in a thousand places ivory statues wept: and incantations, and warning words, were said to have been heard in the sacred groves. No sacrifice was favourable, and the livers were found with cleft lobes, among the entrails, warning of great and impending civil conflict. In the forum, and around men’s houses, and the temples of the gods, dogs howled at night, and they say the silent dead walked, and earthquakes shook the city. Still the gods’ warnings could not prevent the conspiracy, or fate’s fulfillment.
Drawn swords were carried into the curia, the sacred Senate house: no place in the city would satisfy them, as scene for the act of evil murder, but this. Then in truth Cytherean Venus struck her breast with both hands, and tried to hide Caesar in a cloud, as Paris was once snatched from the attack of Atrides, and Aeneas escaped Diomede’s sword.
Then Jupiter, the father, spoke: ‘Alone, do you think you will move the immoveable fates, daughter? You are allowed yourself to enter the house of the three: there you will see all things written, a vast labour, in bronze and solid iron, that, eternal and secure, does not fear the clashing of the skies, the lightning’s anger, or any forces of destruction. There you will find the fate of your descendants cut in everlasting adamant. I have read them myself, and taken note of them in my mind, and I will tell you, so that you are no longer blind to the future.
This descendant of yours you suffer over, Cytherean, has fulfilled his time, and the years he owes to earth are done. You, and Augustus, his ‘son’, will ensure that he ascends to heaven as a god, and is worshipped in the temples. Augustus, as heir to his name, will carry the burden placed upon him alone, and will have us with him, in battle, as the most courageous avenger of his father’s murder. Under his command, the conquered walls of besieged Mutina will sue for peace; Pharsalia will know him; Macedonian Philippi twice flow with blood; and the one who holds Pompey’s great name, will be defeated in Sicilian waters; and a Roman general’s Egyptian consort, trusting, to her cost, in their marriage, will fall, her threat that our Capitol would bow to her city of Canopus, proved vain.
Why enumerate foreign countries, for you, or the nations living on either ocean shore? Wherever earth contains habitable land, it will be his: and even the sea will serve him!
When the world is at peace, he will turn his mind to the civil code, and, as the most just of legislators, make law. He will direct morality by his own example, and, looking to the future ages and coming generations, he will order a son, Tiberius, born of his virtuous wife, to take his name, and his responsibilities. He will not attain his heavenly home, and the stars, his kindred, until he is old, and his years equal his merits. Meanwhile take up Caesar’s spirit from his murdered corpse, and change it into a star, so that the deified Julius may always look down from his high temple on our Capitol and forum.’

He will not attain his heavenly home, and the stars, his kindred, until he is old, and his years equal his merits. Meanwhile take up Caesar’s spirit from his murdered corpse, and change it into a star, so that the deified Julius may always look down from his high temple on our Capitol and forum." - Bk XV:745-842 The deification of Julius Caesar
