Today's Christian view of the transfiguration of Christ seems too conventional to me (although I have only looked at a few sources). Instead this older Christian view and in esoteric alchemy seem more in line with what Gigi Young talked about:
Venus is symbolized by an eight-pointed star.
However, Inanna is also associated with Sirius:
So the eight-pointed star in this alchemy picture I posted in another thread could represent Sirius! And therefore represent the Lion's Gate portal. And the broken snake circle (Ouroboros) symbolizes I think the breaking of the veil. Instead of a circular Ouroboros only connecting the lower and upper chakras, an Ouroboros in an 8-figure includes the heart chakra.
Quote:"Thus, the Light of the Transfiguration of the Lord is not something that comes to be and then vanishes, nor is it subject to the sensory faculties, although it was contemplated by corporeal eyes for a short while upon an inconsequential mountaintop. But the initiates of the Mystery, (the disciples) of the Lord at this time passed beyond mere flesh into spirit through a transformation of their senses, effectualized within them by the Spirit, and in such a way that they beheld what, and to what extent, the Divine Spirit had wrought blessedness in them to behold the Ineffable Light." - St. Gregory Palamas (1296-1359)
"The principle of change is symbolised by the Transfiguration of Jesus. Elijah representing Fire, and Moses–Water, are the wisdom and love aspects of buddhi that impregnates and fertilizes the Seed of Gold within Man." - https://livelearnevolve.com/a-complete-g...o-alchemy/

Quote:"She [Inanna] was associated with the planet Venus and her most prominent symbols included the lion and the eight-pointed star." - Wikipedia
However, Inanna is also associated with Sirius:
Quote:"
This imprint pictures a sexual intercourse of sun god Utu with Inanna, a goddess of the Sirius star. On the right stands the moon god Suen dressed in a woollen skirt." - https://www.academia.edu/7875906/Inanna_...irius_star
