Grannos Heryšaf was an Egyptian primeval ocean ram god who was associated with the Re divine solar god energies and Osiris. Referred to as Arsaphes by Plutarch, Ramses II viewed Heryšaf as a cultural guardian protector god and enlarged his sanctuary. Heryšaf (Arsaphes) was revered in Egypt since before 2700 BCE until around 400 ACE. Mentioned in Hnes stela and depicted on sculptures and reliefs with a ram head wearing the Lower Egypt crown and human lower torso. As the Pan-Celtic Romano solar healing god Grannos (Grannus), he was revered in Continental Europe where his name appears often at hot medicinal springs and mineral waters in diverse locales like the Danube basin and Brittany. Shrines dedicated to Grannos have been discovered in England, France, Germany, and Scotland. Roman baths were sometimes called "Aquae Granni". Grannos Heryšaf was also the Norse Icelandic Germanic god Hoenir. Mentioned in the Poetic Edda Voluspa, he was as a Viking priest skilled in divination who went to Vanaheim after the conflict between the Aesir and Vanir.
Another name spiritual
seekers knew him by was of the Ascended Master Sage Hilarion, an Egyptian desert
hermit saint and healer.
The Sacred Site of Hierarch Grannos Heryšaf and the First Ray of Will Empowerment is the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum, which is located in Tinicum Township by the Philadelphia International Airport in Philadelphia and Delaware counties in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Encompassing 200 acres (0.8 square kilometers), the wildlife refuge was first established in 1972 as the Tinicum Environmental Center in order to preserve the largest freshwater tidal marsh in the state of Pennsylvania. It was renamed in 1991 in honor of the late H. John Heinz III who had helped in the Tinicum Marsh preservation efforts. Around 1634, the early Dutch, English, and Swedish settlers in Pennsylvania diked and drained the Tinicum Marsh area for grazing. Prior to urban expansion after World War I, the tidal marsh area consisted of more than 5,700 acres (23 square kilometers). Birdwatchers have reported viewing more than 300 bird species in the refuge environs including 85 species of nesting birds. Since the refuge is situated on the Atlantic Flyway, many different kinds of ducks, egrets, sandpipers, warblers, and other migrating shorebirds and waterfowl sojourn awhile during spring and fall flights. The wildlife refuge provides five types of habitats (fields, freshwater tidal marsh, impounded water, meadow, woods) for a diverse array of flora and fauna. Flora within the refuge include fields and meadows resplendent with numerous types of plants and wildflowers. Many kinds of wildlife find sanctuary at the refuge such as butterflies, deer, fish (brown bullhead, carp, channel catfish, crappie, pan fish, large-mouth bass, small striped bass, tiger musky), foxes, frogs (pickerel, southern leopard, wood), muskrats, opossums, raccoons, snakes (eastern garter, northern brown, northern water), turtles (eastern box, painted, red-bellied, snapping). Within the wildlife refuge there are more than ten miles of trails, two boardwalks, and a creek navigable by canoe. Currently there are plans to acquire further lands and to expand the wildlife refuge to include diverse habitats with a total acreage of 1,200 acres (4.9 square kilometers).
