स त न म said:Hi, I just wanted to ask about the confusion regarding the heart chakra. The heart chakra is the 6th chakra. But on JoS the middle/chest chakra has been called the heart chakra in some places. While in some other places, the heart chakra is correctly identified as the 6th chakra.
This has thoroughly confused me. I was translating the necronomicon meditations and there is a meditation for "heart" chakra. Which chakra is this meditation for? The chest or the 6th?
Now here's what confuses me the most, The chant for the meditation for the "heart" chakra is Inanna. This is a divine name of goddess Astarte who rules the "heart" chakra as in the 6th chakra. This has clearly been stated here - https://satanisgod.org/www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/King_Queen.html
"Now, as we know Inanna aka Astaroth, Ishtar and her other names, rules the heart chakra. The heart chakra is in the head, not on the chest, as the enemy has corrupted this..."
So the "heart" chakra that Inanna rules is in the head, but the necronomicon meditation for the "heart" chakra asks to do the Jalandhara Bandha (Chin Lock) which suggests that the meditation is about the chest chakra.
I am confused. Depending on which chakra this chant is for, I might need to change the translations in the "Opening the Chakras" pages as well as the "Full Chakra Meditation" pages and possibly some other pages.
Lady Maxine's statement refers to the heart being in the head. This is the pineal gland not the 6th chakra. This is an update that came a few years ago, and this was not changed everywhere and it will need to be uniformed at some point or not. It doesn't really matter in strictly technical terms but it does matter when it comes to logic and consistency. What matters is to have a consistent terminology over the website, so either every page should show the fourth chakra as chest/middle chakra or as heart chakra. In this case, heart would be more of a reference to the physical organ that is ruled by this chakra, not to the spiritual heart which is in the head as discussed.
See the difference:
:arrow: physical heart - fourth/middle/chest chakra
:arrow: spiritual heart - pineal gland
For how to change/uniform the translations, you should discuss this exclusively with HP Hooded Cobra or the project leader for your language, if there is any. I cannot answer this question.
For the Necronomicon Meditations, a recent statement by HP Hooded Cobra came saying that the throat and the chest chakra are co-ruled by Venus and Mercury. Co-ruled means 'ruled together'. If he had to decide a primary ruler for each, he said he would revert to Venus primarily ruling the chest chakra and Mercury primarily ruling the throat. I disagree with this for reason I have explained in other topic (mythological, symbolical, alchemical, etc.), not to mention the fact that glands are more important when it comes to chakra, compared to misaligned organs like the heart. That being said, please stick to HP Hooded Cobra's statements as he is the authority and he has more experience than I do. He also stated you can use either Mercury-related vibrations or Venus-related vibrations for it, and all will be fine no matter what.
So, you can leave things as they are in the Necronomicon page or you can switch the mantra around in different ways. Just the mantra. Do not alter the meditation in a similar fashion as in Woden's file. The middle chakra meditation requires 2 parts.
Aside from this, I am not sure of how to help you. Again, HP Hooded Cobra will be better suited for this.
