Since the Hunger Games was released in 2008 there have been attempts to ban the book(s) due to what many say are satanic, occult, or illuminati themes. Defenders of the titles say there is nothing at all occult, religious, etc., about the stories. Suffice to say, both are wrong.
The newest book, and recently released movie, is titled ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’. Readers of myth already know the meaning, as the bird is the enemy of serpents. Apollo killed the python, St Michael kills the dragon, and even the Semitic Aleph is a sword driven into a serpent. The title can be directly corollated to Beauty and Beast, too, since Belle is the harmonious beauty and music which calms the animal. The main character in the new Hunger Games movie, Lucy Gray, has this ability in more ways than one. We can also find reference here to Genesis 3 wherein God curses the serpent to be crushed by the offspring of the woman. Lucy is set up in the movie with serpents to represent both Isis, and the woman from Revelation 12; she who is ready to give birth but is surrounded by the darkness of the dragon; she who is clothed in solar protection and crowned by a halo of 12 stars - the numbered district Lucy is taken from as tribute.
From the start of the film, the masonic square and compass also features prominently at the Capitol district. These symbols draw the authority of said state. The floor of the arena where the games take place is also painted with a black sun. All of these symbols relate to Saturn.
The rose likewise features prominently in the film. Viewers see the red, then white, then yellow rose, all featured in relation to the unfolding dialogue and scene - passion, purity, friendship. Since Saturn, whose metal is lead, is so obviously represented, it is only appropriate that the golden rose, bird, and snake be the symbols of the Hunger Games series. Lead transformed to gold is symbolic of the internal transformation which sees the dragon-ego conquered to strip power from the beast-animal-self, and allow direct access to the dragon’s gold. Dat Rosa Mel Apibus means ‘The Rose Gives Honey to Bees’, and it is this honey, or ambrosia, or elixir of life, which is our reward.
