  Sacred king - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sacred king, according to the systematic interpretation of mythology developed by Sir James George Frazer in his influential book The Golden Bough, was a king who represented a solar deity in a periodically re-enacted fertility rite.
Frazer seized on the notion of this substitute king and made him the keystone of his theory of a universal, pan-European, and indeed worldwide fertility myth, in which a consort for the Goddess was annually replaced.
According to Frazer, the sacred king represented the spirit of vegetation, a divine John Barleycorn.

 Ruler Cult, Sacred Kingship
There are kings of mystic/mythic legend (king Pentheus against Dionysus, mythic kings Saul-against-David) and indeed "king" may be the most standard and common mystic/mythic element, actually the foundation of myth insofar as self-control breakdown and resetting is the bedrock foundation of myth.
The ancient role of king was inherently a temporarily ruling eniautos-daemon who had to sacrifice himself at the end of the period of his playing God.
The democratic, anti-hierarchy, original true spirit of the King Jesus religion was eventually rediscovered by the Anabaptists (the Radical Reformers) around 1530 and the itinerant preachers after the U.S. war of independence (1790-1830).

 Illuminati News: The Cult of Human Sacrifice
Because of propaganda that the biblical peoples were "the chosen" and, therefore, everything they represented was "godly," the naive masses are not aware of the bloodiness of the Old Testament, or of the gospel story serving as a record of a human sacrifice ritual based on the ubiquitous solar/fertility cult.
This sacred king ritual is what is recorded in the New Testament - not as a "historical" occurrence, but as an ongoing human sacrifice ritual that transpired repeatedly around and in Palestine.
A method employed by the priests to demonstrate the submissiveness of the monarch to the priesthood was to require the king, in a time of national danger, to give his own son to die as a sacrifice for his people.

A great oak was on of the five sacred trees brought to Ireland by the strange being called Trefuilngid Tre-ochair who appeared suddenly at Tara on the day Christ was crucified.
It is clear that this tale is a forerunner of the mediaeval poem, "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", and the symbolic beheading of the Oak King links these tales with the well-known ritual sacrifice of the old king in the oak-grove of the Nemi which forms the argument of Frazier's "the Golden Bough".

Kathmandu, Aug 9: As Nepal celebrated 'Janai Purnima', its Hindu festival of the sacred thread Wednesday, King Gyanendra re-appeared in the public eye after a long period of absence, donning the holy thread along with members of the royal family with prayers for divine protection.

While Nepal's television channels covered the sacred thread ceremony in the royal palace, conspicuous by their absence were the king's daughter, Princess Prerana, and her husband, Raj Bahadur Singh.

The sacred marriage of the king and the goddess is a dramatic expression of this divine-human partnership.
