Queen Semiramis

Isis and Horus were worshipped as "Madonna and child." As the generations passed, they were worshipped under other names in different countries and languages. Many of these are recognisable: Fortuna and Jupiter in Rome; Aphrodite and Adonis in Greece; and Ashtoreth/Astarte and Molech/Baal in Canaan. Modern witchcraft had its origins at the Tower of Babel, and the infusion of the worship of mother goddess and the “mother and child cults” evidenced throughout world religions for the last 4500 years were conceived in the Babylonian Mysteries that originated with the widow of Nimrod, Semiramis and the “son of the widow,” Tammuz: Parzival, from the Grail Romances, is also known as the 'son of the widow'.
