Psychic Norwegian princess launches school to contact angels

The princess, who still officially represents the Royal Family at various events, has named her new venture after “one of the oldest goddesses in the Middle East,” Astarte, and its website is registered at her home address in Lommedalen, just west of Oslo. The telephone number listed is that for the Royal Palace in Oslo.

Princess claims clairvoyant powers, aims to share them

Princess Märtha Louise uses her royal title on Astarte Education’s web site

Norway’s Princess Märtha Louise, daughter of King Harald and Queen Sonja, has emerged as a clairvoyant, and is launching an alternative school aimed at training students to contact angels. Officials at the Royal Palace won’t comment on the princess’ latest business venture.

Princess Märtha Louise claimed to have “seen the light” in 2002, when she married author Ari Behn in a lavish royal wedding at the cathedral in Trondheim.

The princess’ business partner has publicly confirmed the training program, which is billed as a means of “getting in touch with your own truths” through “readings, healing, crystals and hands-on treatment.”

The princess, who still officially represents the Royal Family at various events, has named her new venture after “one of the oldest goddesses in the Middle East,” Astarte, and its website is registered at her home address in Lommedalen, just west of Oslo. The telephone number listed is that for the Royal Palace in Oslo.

Even though use of the palace’s phone number implies the business is indirectly supported by the Royal Palace, palace officials won’t comment on it.

“The palace never expresses itself on the princess’ private business ventures,” said a tight-lipped Sven Gjeruldsen, information adviser on the palace staff. He referred further questions to the contact information on Astarte’s web site.

The princess wrote on her school’s new website, Astarte Education, that she’s “always been interested in alternative treatment programs,” suggesting she’s had psychic abilities since she was a little girl.

The princess has launched Astarte Education with a friend, Elisabeth Samnøy, who describes herself on the website as a former ship mechanic who also attended a holistic academy.

“After that I have been in a process where angels and their frequency opened contact with the divine in my heart,” Samnøy wrote.

Princess draws more flak

Aftenposten | Jul 25, 2007

Princess Märtha Louise’s latest business venture, which she says can teach people how to communicate with angels, has sparked anything but purely angelic reaction. Princess Märtha Louise, who claims she’s clairvoyant, has incurred the wrath of many with her plans to launch courses in alternative therapy. Others think she’s brave to follow her beliefs.

Officials ranging from the state director of health, to a top politician to religious figures are blasting the princess for alleged offenses ranging from exploiting her position to misusing her physiotherapy training.

Dr Bernt Rognlien, one of Norway’s leading figures within alternative medicine, thinks the princess’ course is more religious in nature than health-related.

“The way I read her web site, this is a spiritual and religious offer, not something that can heal the sick,” he said, adding that he’s not sure the princess realizes that she can appear to be proselytizing when she uses religious terminology about angels and goddesses.

A religious historian at Norway’s technical university NTNU, Asbjørn Dyrendal, said he thinks the princess’ venture is embarrassing.

“I think this must be embarrassing for the royal couple (Martha Louise’s parents, King Harald and Queen Sonja) because they belong to a generation where this type of religion was viewed as eccentric,” Dyrendal said. “But this is, of course, a family that’s used to eccentric relatives within European royalty, so they may think it’s normal for their daughter to charge fees to make contact with angels.”

A survey conducted by newspaper VG, meanwhile, suggests that four out of 10 Norwegians agree with the princess that humans can have supernatural powers, and that it’s possible to communicate with angels.

Norwegian Monarchy Gaining Power and Influence

A new debate about form of government to arise in 2014 with a revision of the Constitution…

King Harald, member of the Order of the Garter and the Order of the Seraphim

A professor of political science argues that Norway’s royal family, far from being more approachable, is in fact regaining lost power and influence. Trond Nordby, professor of political science at the University of Oslo, argued in a feature in Aftenposten on Wednesday that the royals are … living fabulously on their annuity and exerting steadily more political influence. “A new debate about form of government will arise. It should come in 2014 with the revision of the Constitution,” Michelsen said.

The Order of the Seraphim

This Order is exclusive to Sweden and I find this interesting since Seraphim is Hebrew for a class of Angel (the highest one). I think that this further strengthens the evidence for a Hebrew/Kabbalistic connection to Sweden. Elaborating upon the Christian celestial hierarchy that was created by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, the expanding modern literature of angelology has assigned many names to the unnamed seraphim.

• Seraphiel
• Metatron
• Lucifer
• Satan
• Asmodeus
• Astaroth
• Samael

So is the Order of the Seraphim really the Order of the fallen angels? ______________________________________

References on the Goddess Astarte

Astarte — The Lady of the Beasts.

Along with Lilith she is one of the principle Elohim (this Hebrew plural word means goddesses and gods, though translated as God by biblical revisionists for the past 2,000 years) of the Semites of Phoenicia. Consort to Baal, she is here depicted with two foals in ecstatic dance, her typically upraised arms grasping serpents. She was the Great Goddess, all-powerful, creating-preserving-destroying, an embodiment of Mother Nature. Also known as Ashtoroth, in some poses she is identical with images of Kali, while in her role of virgin she is an ancient prototype of Mary.

Across Northern Africa, each town had its own version of the Astarte mother goddess. Carthage became the most unique. In Carthage, she was called Tanit. Female statues in the temple show women holding their breasts. She gains a new symbol of her own, very similar to the Egyptian ankh. Her counterpart became Baal Hammon. According to all historical records and also to archeological findings, this particular Tanit and Baal cult did practice human sacrifice. Children were sacrificed in the temple to Baal Hammon. Parents willingly did this and during the human sacrifice of their child, they were not to weap, nor shed a tear. A tomb in Carthage dating to 200 BC also suggest that Tanit was a separate deity from Astarte. The tomb says that the statue was erected for “Astarte and Tanit of Libano.”

Astarte (Greek) Greek form of the Syro-Phoenician goddess Ashtoreth, female counterpart of Baal. The Assyrian and Babylonian form was Ishtar, in Syria Atargates, in Phrygia Cybele, in the Bible Ashtoreth, and in North Africa Tanith or Dido. She was intimately connected in the Chaldean form of her worship with the planet Venus. She corresponds to the Egyptian Isis or Hathor, Greek Aphrodite, and Norse Freya http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/etgloss/ass-atm.htm

Astaroth’s Sigil: The clusters of three dots at the points of the star of her sigil are extremely ancient and denote her high spiritual rank.

Astaroth is a very ancient Goddess. She has been with humanity, as have Satan and Beelzebub, since the beginning. Astaroth is Beelzebub’s granddaughter. Her parents are Ningal and Nanna. She counsels humans who are close to Satan and actively working for him. She obtains friendship of those in power and represents luxury and ease. Astaroth was also the Babylonian Goddess, Ishtar. Babylonian scriptures called her the “Light of the World,” “Goddess of Goddesses,” and “Bestower of Strength.”

The “Ishtar Gate,” built approximately 575 BCE was the main entrance into Babylon.

Easter (originally known as “Ashtar”) was stolen from her by the Christians.
