In ancient Egypt, the Shaivite-Bull Cult worshipped Ptah-Osiris that apparently was based on the same myth as the Pashupati-Shiva-Murugan Bull Cult. Ptah-Osiris incarnated as the sacred Apis Bull, while in India Shiva with his sacred bull, Nandi.
From Green Man to Bull Son, The Universal Shaivite Bull Cult
Part I
BY Mark Amaru Pinkham
In ancient times a new culture suddenly exploded across the vast terrain of Asia, Europe and Africa that was an evolution of the primeval Goddess Culture of the Neolithic Age that had previously existed for many thousands of years. That earlier agrarian, nature-worshipping culture had featured the Earth Goddess and Her Son, the Green Man, who was annually born as all the new forms of nature in the spring and then died with the falling leaves and rotting plants each autumn. Observation of the seven stars of the Pleiades was an essential part of this early Nature Religion; their rise in the spring and their descent in autumn divided the year into two parts and corresponded closely to the life and death cycle of the Green Man.

When the new culture arrived, the Green Man acquired horns, and he became intimately associated with the virile bull. The Pleiades has also acquired bovine associations and became part of the Zodiacal sign of the Bull Son, Taurus. A new complete culture, known as the Bull Cult had emerged. Also referred to as the primeval Shaivite Culture because its underpinnings closely resembled what would later become the modern Shaivite Culture in India, this new cult quickly became a universal religion and succeeded in uniting the Asian, European, and African peoples known as the Babylonians, Greeks, Egyptians, Celts, Persians, Anatolians and more.

Some features of the Shaivite-Bull Cult were adopted by many new and ancient civilizations around the globe. How each of these elements was absorbed by the member countries of this cult will be covered in order and in full detail.
The Goddess and Her Bull/Horned Son
In Asia, Europe and Africa the Bull Son was the centerpiece of the Shaivite-Bull Cult and known variously as Marduk (Babylonia), Zagreus-Dionysus (Greece), Ptah-Osiris (Egypt) and the horned Pashupati, the “Lord of the Animals,” of the Indus Valley Civilization of India. Pashupati has been called an early form of Lord Shiva, but he could also be a manifestation of Shiva’s Son, Murugan, who was and is a manifestation of the Neolithic Green Man. At his contemporary headquarters at Kataragama on Sri Lanka, Murugan’s venerated titles currently include al-Khadir, meaning the “Green Man.” And in ancient times, when the soldiers of Alexander the Great beheld the Sri Lankan Murugan they identified him as their Green Man, Dionysus. Later, when these soldiers returned to their native Greece they communicated their discovery to Ptolemy, the world’s first map maker, who then referred to Kataragama on his maps as Bachi oppidum, the “Land of Bacchus (i.e., Dionysus).”

Special Note : In regard to the spreading of the Bull Cult across Asia to Egypt, it is important to recognize the undeniable India-Egypt link that helped trigger it. The Bull Gods that manifested at these two extreme ends of the Asia-African Shaivite-Bull Cult as Ptah-Osiris (Egypt) and Pashupati-Shiva-Murugan (India) possessed so many similarities in their respective characters that the missionaries of the Shaivite-Bull Cult must have either taken the image and rites of Ptah-Osiris to India or those of Pashupati-Shiva-Murugan to Egypt. Or perhaps both lines of influence were in operation. In apparent confirmation that such a line of influence existed, the Roman historian Plutarch quotes the legend of Osiris, whom he maintains completely encircled the world while spreading the rites involved with the sacred Bull Cult. And the Greek historians were adamant that Osiris’ counterpart Dionysus had carried the sacred rites from his native Greece to Nyssa in India.

The myriad similarities that existed between these two Bull Gods include: Both Ptah-Osiris and Shiva-Murugan-Pashupati were venerated as both the Green Man and Lord of Fire in Egypt and India respectively. In Egypt, Ptah-Osiris was the spirit that incarnated as a live bull, the sacred Apis Bull ; and in India, Shiva was intimately associated with the spirit that animated his sacred bull, Nandi. Moreover, the consorts of Ptah-Osiris and Shiva-Murugan-Pasupati also reveal their special connection. The wife of Ptah was Sekhmet, meaning the “Power,” and Shiva’s consort was Shakti, a name that is also translated as “Power.”
The Pleiades and the Zodiac sign of Taurus the Bull

Within all those countries where astronomy and astrology were practiced during the Bull Cult, the Pleiades was included in the celestial bull within its hump and the Seven Sisters thereby became part of the Zodiacal sign of Taurus. In this cosmic position the Pleiades were said to be the Goddess who transcended and gave birth to (or emanated) Her Son, the Bull Taurus. Or, by a second and third perspective, the belief was commonly held throughout the countries of the Shaivite-Bull Cult that the Seven Sisters were the Nurse Maids of the Bull Son…and/or that the Pleiades by itself was an asterism that represented the Bull Son.
Murugan-Karttikeya, the Fiery Celestial Warrior
In India, the Pleiades were both the Krittikas, the nurse maids of Murugan, as well as Karttikeya himself. The name Krittika denotes “Sword of Fire” and thus associates the Pleiades with Murugan-Karttikeya, the fiery celestial warrior. Murugan is also undeniably associated with the Pleiades through another name of the asterism, Kartika or Kartik – which is a shortened a version of the name Karttikeya. As Karttikeya, Murugan is often represented with six heads that, among their many associations, represent the six visible stars of the Pleiades asterism.

Murugan’s Greek counterpart, Dionysus was also intimately associated with the Seven Sisters, who were identified as his seven nurse maids. As the beastly Zagreus, Dionysus’ followers on Earth regularly feted and honored their deity as the Greece and Cretan manifestation of the Bull Son. On Crete, just as it was the custom in other countries of the Bull Cult, such as Babylonia and Persia, the ruling priest-king was recognized to be an incarnation of the Bull Son. Above his Cretan throne rested the two-headed battle axe, or labyrs, which as a symbol of the king’s mother, the Goddess, represented the authority under which the monarch ruled. The Cretan king was descended from an ancient line of Bull Son monarchs whose lineage extended back to the era of the Green Man. His Bull Cult lineage had arrived on Crete via Anatolia, the country whose manifestation of the Bull Cult was thriving as early as 6000 BCE.

Mithra, the Warrior Son
In Persian, the Shaivite-Bull Cult featured Mithra, the Warrior Son who was the Persian counterpart of Karttikeya and Dionysus. When his version of the Bull Cult traveled west to the Middle East, Mithra became Mithras , a hero who was intimately associated with the bull. He could take the form of a bull, but most commonly he was identified as the bull’s sacrificer. Mithraism, which was intimately tied to astrology, associated the sacred bull with Taurus, the Celestial Bull, and its sacrificer Mithras with the constellation of the Hunter, Orion.

It was believed that at certain times of the year the cosmic Mithras would sacrifice the celestial bull and release its lifeforce power to help further create and feed the physical universe. Meanwhile, during this sacred time on Earth, a physical bull was sacrificed in the temples of Mithras so its divine and purifying blood and enriching life force power could shower down upon those candidates seeking initiation into the sect.

The association with the bull and the Pleiades was also known among the Yezidis of northern Iraq, who during their Autumn Festival – when the Pleiades were directly overhead in the night sky – sacrificed specially selected bulls. Another reason they honored the appearance of the Seven Sisters with special rites at this time was because it was also the court of their primary deity, the Peacock Angel, the Yezidis’ “Son of God” who also had a special association with both the Seven Sisters and the Bull Son.

Alchemy and Generating Lifeforce —Global Temples Made in the Shape of Lingams: Shaivite Bull Cult
Part II
One form associated with the Bull Son of the Bull Cult was the Shiva Lingam, the sacred symbol that unites the phallus, the universal symbol of the male principle, with the ovum, the universal symbol of the female principle. The union of this polarity generates abundant life, which in many parts of the world was personified as the Green Man or Bull Son.
[Read Part 1 : From Green Man to Bull Son, The Universal Shaivite Bull Cult ]
The association made by the priests of the Bull Cult between the bull and the lingam is very ancient, which is why wherever the lingam exists in India today, the image of the bull is close by.

Veneration of the Shiva Lingam
Some of the first lingams of the Shaivite-Bull Cult were those created by nature, such as the abundant rock lingams formed by the flowing water of the sacred Narmada River of India. The greatest of natural lingams were mountains in the form of lingams, which includes Mount Kailash in Tibet and Arunachala Mountain in Tiruvannamalai, India. These are special places where great power is generated in the form of lifeforce that can be used for spiritual transformation.
The Lingam of Mount Kailash
In order to generate the power of the lingam in and around their sacred enclosures, the members of the Shiavite-Bull Cult designed many of their temples in the form of lingams. This lingam architecture could be found among the Hindus, the Yezidis, the Babylonians, and the Celts.

The lingam power generated in the temples of the Shaivite-Bull Cult in India were designed to generate alchemy and thereby activate the inner evolutionary force of Kundalini in order to assist worshippers to unite with their deity.

The lingam temples of Britain may have been constructed by pre-Celtic people that originated in lands where the Shaivite-Bull Cult was flourishing. According to one legend, some of the first settlers in Glastonbury in England were a group of Druids known as the Pheryllt, or “Alchemists.”

Legends say that the Pheryllt arrived in Britain from either Turkey or Sri Lanka along with Hu Gadarn, the Welsh-culture hero who was associated with – and could have been an embodiment of – the Horned Bull God. It could have been the Pheryllt Druids who built two of the lingam-shaped temples in Britain, Stonehenge and Glastonbury Tor.

The lingam shape of the Shaivite-Bull Cult’s temples naturally engendered alchemy by uniting the male and female principles. This is one reason that King Solomon – who was reputed to be a great alchemist – designed his temple in the shape of a lingam. By uniting the polar opposite male/female principles, Solomon also generated the presence of androgynous YHVH within the inner sanctums of the Holy of Holies.
Solomon’s Temple had a lingam shape
Many of the priests of the Shaivite-Bull Cult were aware that all stars and star clusters are cosmic lingams – a truth that can be proven through Sacred Geometry. This is why these celestial bodies generate immense cosmic power in the heavens. Of all star clusters, the ancients believed that some of the most intense cosmic power was generated at certain times of the year by the Shiva lingam form of the Pleiades.
The Pleiades is in the shape of a lingam.
Sahasralinga (“place of 1000 lingams”) in Karnataka, India
A vestige of the Shaivite-Bull Cult can be found at Sahasralinga (“place of 1000 lingams”) in Karnataka, India, where the Pleiades is represented as a collection of seven rock-carved lingams placed strategically in the shape of the Seven Sisters. Nandi, the sacred bull, sits directly across the river from this Pleiadian configuration, thus revealing that its creators were aware of the Pleiades being a cosmic Shiva Lingam.
Yoga and Meditation
Yoga and Meditation were commonly practiced among the member countries of the Bull Cult. It was apparently observed in the Indus Valley, where icons of Bull Son Pashupati have him sitting in a yoga posture. It was most probably also observed by the Celts, whose Bull Son Cernunnos also sits in yoga position. And it was also prolific in Egypt among the priests of Osiris and in Greece among the Orphic followers of Dionysus.

Sacrifice of the Bull Son
Throughout the countries of the Shaivite-Bull Cult it was traditional to sacrifice live bulls that represented the Bull Son on strategic days of the years. Perhaps the most efficacious day was the Spring Equinox, when the blood of sacrificed bulls soaked the ground and the animals’ special power fertilized all the surrounding land, thus ensuring an abundant growing season. Sacrifice of live bulls representing the Bull Son was observed by the Celtic Druids, the Greeks, the Anatolians, the Persians and the Yezidis.
Holy Communion of Red Wine and Bull Meat
Possibly the first form of Holy Communion occurred within the Bull Cult as the consumption of bull meat and red wine that followed the ceremonial sacrifice of live bulls. This sacred meal was consumed on Crete and Greece in order to unite with the Divine Son Zageus-Dionysus, as well as during the sacred rites of Anatolia. The Hindu Tantric rite of the ‘5 Ms’, during which forbidden meat and wine are consumed, appears to be a vestige of the Holy Communion observed during the early Bull Cult.
Veneration of the Swastika
The veneration and utilization of the symbol of the swastika occurred in many countries of the Shaivite-Bull Cult, including India, Greece, Persia, Mesopotamia, Britain, Italy, Scandinavia and many of the countries in Africa and the Western Hemisphere. The symbol has a special association with time and cycles. The symbol of the swastika has as its foundation a cross, the symbol of life, to which are joined four short horizontal lines at a ninety-degree angle thereby giving the swastika the appearance of a propeller. It thus signifies the cyclic movement of life, while its four equal parts denote the four cyclic ages known in Hinduism as the four Yugas and in Greece are the four Ages.

During the time of the Bull Cult, astronomers could watch a celestial swastika being created in the night sky by the movement of the Big Dipper or Great Bear as it slowly moved around the center of the sky while its four predominant celestial positions predicted the four seasons on Earth. Besides possessing a giant swastika on one of its slopes, Mount Kailash, the “Swastika Mountain,” may have been the North Pole of the Earth during the Bull Cult and therefore sat right under the celestial swastika as it was being formed above. In this regard, Mt Kailash has been associated with mythical Mount Meru, the giant mountain that was once at the North Pole and sat in the center of the world while uniting Heaven and Earth.
