Goddess Zodiac : Atlantia / Goddess of Unexpected

mythical Atlantian Goddess expresing idea that all matter is made of the same energy,and "Law of One"that all of Creation is one/she embodied both feminine and masculine atributes and symbolisied the strength of collective /

Legend says the final destruction of the land in 10,000 B.C. came as a result of the struggle between the disciples of The Law of One and the disciples of Belial or Baal (a name that appears with many variations in numerous religions from ancient times). The Law of One taught that all of Creation is one, while the worshippers of Belial thought that Nature and the powerless were theirs to use and abuse.

The people of Atlantia are thought to have been extremists, and so ATLANTIA might have symbolized too great a detachment and too much tolerance for the views of others. This might have enabled the worshippers of Belial to hatch their ruthless plots to gain absolute power without, at first, the opposition of the worshippers of ATLANTIA.
