In 1996 an unexpected comet streamed through the heavens. Named Hyakutake, it was at times the brightest object in the sky. In 1997, the comet Hale-Bopp streamed through the sky at right angles to the trajectory of Hyakutake. Their paths formed a perfect cross. The comets passed the intersection point of the cross on exactly the same day, April 11, one year apart, an amazing “coincidence”. This intersection point lay atop the star Algol, the Eye of Medusa, known since ancient times as the most violent and unlucky star in all the heavens. What are the comets trying to tell us?
Combining astronomy, astrosophy, psychology, philosophy, mythology, drama, and an understanding of the timing of the healing miracles of Jesus Christ, the three members of “StarFire Three” lead us to an awareness of the comets’ urgent message for our time.
