If you are reading this article, it would be safe to assume you have been to school at some time in your life. Most schools, if not all, have a school song called the Alma Mater. Some times the school itself is referred to as one’s "Alma Mater." Have you ever wondered what those two words mean? Or where they came from? It may shock you when you discover its origin.

According to Webster’s Dictionary, it come from Latin and means "fostering or nurturing mother." But according to the late Alexander Hislop, in his book The Two Babylons, its origin is much older than the Latin language. In fact it goes all the way back to Babylon in the time of Nimrod. It can be a little confusing to a beginner researching information in regard to the ancient false gods and goddesses because there are many different names given to the same devil.

For example, Aphrodite of Greece is also known as Venus of Rome. Further research reveals both names are in reality the goddess, Astarte, which is another name for Semiramis, the queen of heaven and mother of Nimrod. The same is Isis, the sister/wife of Osiris and mother of Horus.

From the time of Adam and Eve the promise was given of a future Savior, who would be born of a woman. This divine Son would be God Himself in human form. In ancient Babylon, twisted as it is, they came to believe that Nimrod was that divinity manifest among them. No one would have expected the mother to eclipse the son, but in time the thought evolved that if a child was to be adored, so much more the mother.

From the time of Babylon and throughout the Roman Church the belief has existed that it is the woman, not her seed, that would bruise the head of the serpent.

Among the three great divinities of Babylon believed to have stood in the tower of Babel was an image of a woman grasping a serpent’s head. We see the same thing with the Greek goddess, Diana (whose real character was originally the same as that of Semiramis). Diana was represented as holding in one of her hands a serpent deprived of its head. As time wore on, and the facts of Semiramis’s history became obscured, her son’s birth was boldly declared to be miraculous: and therefore she was called "Alma Mater", "the Virgin Mother."

Jonathan Cott, in his book, Isis and Osiris, Exploring the Goddess Myth, published in 1994 by Doubleday, reveals on page 20: "The image of Isis nursing her child-savior would be taken over by the Christian Madonna, who also adopted the titles of the goddess—Sedes Sapiente (Seat of Wisdom), Regina Coeli (Queen of Heaven), Stella Maris (Star of the Sea)."

Later in an interview with Olivia Robertson, archpriestess and one of the founders of the Fellowship of Isis, he was told of a sky phenomena over Cairo, Egypt from April 1968 through 1970 in which lights modeled the form of a woman with a halo. This appeared over the Coptic church of St.Mary at On [now named Zeitun]. The Muslims who saw it believed it to be Fatima with her son Ali. The Catholics took her to be the Virgin Mary with holding baby Jesus; many saw it to be Isis with Horus. According to archpriestess Robertson, it was all three, as they all represent the same goddess.

It is not difficult to trace the similarities between the Catholic Madonna and the mother-son relationship of Semiramis and Nimrod; of Isis and Horus. There is a Catholic Shrine just off Interstate 4, west of Orlando, Florida, called "Mary, Queen of the Universe, Shrine." There is no doubt that the worship of the goddess is returning full force among New Age imbeciles.
