November 8 Omens

On this election day, November 8, 2022, we will experience the omen of a "Blood Moon lunar eclipse":

But there is another, more serious omen associated with this election. Here is a brief description:

The Mundus Cereris was a womb or labyrinthine passage to the underworld, the domain of Ceres, the great Mother of vegetation who was the Roman equivalent of Demeter. The structure was vaulted in the shape of an inverted sky, divided into two parts, and had a cover. It is believed to have been located on the Palatine Hill in Rome.

The cover was removed every year on August 24, October 5, and November 8, and these days were religious holidays, when the way was supposed to be open to the underworld. First-fruits of the season would be offered to the Manes (ancestral spirits) and placed in the pit.

Because the cover to the Mundus, the Lapis Manalis (Stone of the Manes), was considered an Ostium Orci (Gate of Hades), the Manes were freed to roam through the world of the living for the day, so marriage was not permitted on those three days, and the conduct of battles or business was not considered to be advisable.

In our political system election day periodically falls on November 8, so it might be instructive to ask which Presidents were elected on a day that (to the Romans, at least) the Gate of Hell is open. They were:

  • Abraham Lincoln (first term)
  • Grover Cleveland
  • Theodore Roosevelt
  • Franklin D. Roosevelt (first term)
  • John F. Kennedy
  • George Herbert Walker Bush

In addition, there was one President who was born on October 5: Chester A. Arthur

It’s interesting that the list includes our two most beloved martyrs (Lincoln and Kennedy), but bad things happen if you conduct business while the Gate of Hell is open.

Some argue that Tuesday's election will be one of the most important of our generation. I believe they're right. And the fact these two dark omens foreshadow its result speak to its ultimate importance.

Every minute of every day is a fight between good and evil, light and darkness. Don't let this Tuesday be the day on which evil and darkness emerge victorious. Close the door to Hell and lock it shut.
