ountries was infected with the trichina; which killed people who ate pork improperly cooked. it was no good telling the savages that fact. any way, they would only have broken the hygienic command when greed overcame them. the advice had to be made a universal rule, and supported with the authority of a religious sanction. they had not the brains to believe in trichinosis; but they were afraid of jehovah and jehannum. just so, under the grouping of yama we learn that the aspiring yogi must become 'fixed in the non-receiving of gifts' which means that if anyone offers you a cigarette or a drink of water, you must reject his insidious advances in the most victorian manner. it is such nonsense as this which brings the science of yoga into contempt. but it isn't nonsense if you consider the cl

form the subject of the ensuing remarks. 2. before we deal with these in detail, i think it would be helpful to consider the formula of yoga from what may be called the mathematical, or magical standpoint. this formula has been described in my text-book on magick, chapter iii, the formula of tetragrammaton. this formula covers the entire universe of magical operations. the word usually pronounced jehovah is called the ineffable name; it is alleged that when pronounced accurately its vibrations would destroy the universe; and this is indeed quite true, when we take the deeper interpretation. tetragrammaton is so called from the four letters in the word: yod, he, vau, and he. this is compared with the relations of a family- yod, the father, he, the mother; vau, the son; and the final he, the

o the original father, dead and made into a 'god' was called ad. this name came down unchanged to egypt, as you see in the book of the law. the word 'adhi' in sanskrit was usually translated 'lord' in the syrian form we get it duplicated hadad. you remember ben hadad, king of syria. the hebrew word for 'lord' is adon or adonai. adonai *my* lord, is constantly used in the bible to replace the name jehovah where that was too sacred to be mentioned, or for other reasons improper to write down. adonai has also come to mean, through the rosicrucian tradition, the holy guardian angel, and thus the object of worship or concentration. it is the same thing; worship is worth-ship, means worthiness; and anything but the chosen object is necessarily an unworthy object. 14. as dhyana also represents th

ion upon this distinguished audience. 16. so then, if nothing is to be really the absolute nothing, we mean that nothing does not enter into the category of existence. to say that absolute nothing exists is equivalent to saying that everything exists which exists, and the great hebrew sages of old time noted this fact by giving it the title of the supreme idea of reality (behind their tribal god, jehovah, who, as we have previously shown, is merely the yoga of the 4 elements, even at his highest- the demiourgos) eheieh-asher-eheieh- i am that i am. 17. if there is any sense in any of this at all, we may expect to find an almost identical system of thought all over the world. there is nothing exclusively hebrew about this theogony. we find, for example, in the teachings of zoroaster and the

e teachings of zoroaster and the neo-platonists very similar ideas. we have a pleroma, the void, a background of all possibilities, and this is filled by a supreme light-god, from whom drive in turn the seven archons, who correspond closely to the seven planetary deities, aratron, bethor, phaleg and the rest. these in their turn constitute a demiurge in order to crate matter; and this demiurge is jehovah. not far different are the ideas both of the classical greeks and the neo-platonists. the differences in the terminology, when examined, appear as not much more than the differences of local convenience in thinking. but all these go back to the still older cosmogony of the ancient egyptians, where we have nuit, space, hadit, the point of view; these experience congress, and so produce heru

narrated in the old testament is on a par with present-day german accomplishment; yet christ was a jew and it was the hebrew race which produced him. let this never be forgotten. the jews were great aggressors; they despoiled the egyptians and they took the promised land at the point of the sword, sparing neither man, woman nor child. their religious history has been built around a materialistic jehovah, possessive, greedy and endorsing and encouraging aggression. their history is symbolic of the history of all aggressors, rationalising themselves into the belief that they are carrying out divine purpose, wresting away from people their property in a spirit of self-defense and finding some reason, adequate to them, to excuse the iniquity of their action. palestine was taken by the jews be

to truth, and materialistic in their technique (embodying much of the magical work of relating one grade of matter to the substance of another grade, so the old testament is emphatically a secondary scripture, and spiritually does not rank with the bhagavad-gita, the ancient scriptures of the east and the new testament. its emphasis is material and its effect is to impress a purely materialistic jehovah upon world consciousness. the general theme of the old testament is the recovery of the highest expression of the divine wisdom in the first solar system; that system embodied the creative work of the third aspect of divinity that of active intelligence, expressing itself through matter. in this solar system, the created world is intended to be the expression of the second aspect, of the l

ne wisdom in the first solar system; that system embodied the creative work of the third aspect of divinity that of active intelligence, expressing itself through matter. in this solar system, the created world is intended to be the expression of the second aspect, of the love of god. this the jew has never grasped, for the love expressed in the old testament is the separative, possessive love of jehovah for a distinct unit within the fourth or human kingdom. st. paul summed up the attitude which humanity should assume in the words "there is neither jew nor gentile" the evil karma of the jew today is intended to end his isolation, to bring him to the point of relinquishing material goals, of renouncing a nationality that has a tendency to be somewhat parasitic within the boundaries of othe

AN INTRO TO STUDY OF THE KABALAH

to illustrate or extend the philosophical scheme. as already said, when the kabalah first took shape as a concrete whole and a philosophic system, may remain for ever an unknown datum, but if we regard it, as i believe is correct, as the esotericism of the religion of the hebrews, the foundation dogmas are doubtless almost as old as the first promulgation of the main principles of the worship of jehovah. i cannot now attempt any glance at the contentions of some doubting scholars, who question whether the story of the twelve tribes is a historic fact, or whether there ever were a moses, or even a king solomon. it is sufficient for the present purpose that the jewish nation had the jehovistic theology and a system of priestly caste, and a coherent doctrine, at the time of the second temple

har, contain a system of spiritual philosophy of clear design, deep intuition and far-reaching cosmologic suggestions; that are well worthy of the honour of receiving a special name and of founding a theological body of doctrine--the kabalah. the bulwark and main foundation of the public hebrew religion has always been the pentateuch, five treatises attributed to moses, which proclaim the laws of jehovah given to his chosen people. the old testament beginning with these five books is further continued by historic books, by poetical teachings and by prophetic works, but many portions are marked by materialistic characteristics and a lack of spiritual rectitude which the books of a great religion might be expected to display, and they even offend our present standard of moral life. the mosai

the old testament books. i note that the literal interpretation of the mosaic books and those of the old testament generally has repeatedly been used as a support for vicious systems of conduct; a notable example of which was seen even a hundred years ago, when the clergy of protestant nations almost unanimously supported the continuance of the slave trade from arguments derived from the laws of jehovah as stated to have been compulsory upon the jews. the freethinkers of that day were largely the champions of suffering and oppressed races, and for centuries the wisest of men, the greatest scientists have maintained, and ever won, struggle after struggle with the assumed infallibility of old hebraic testament literal instructions, assertions and narratives. the old testament may indeed be

d is formed from the initial and final letters of one or more words; or the letters of one name are taken as the initials or finals of the words of a sentence. for example, in deut. 30 v. 12, moses asks, who shall go up for us to heaven? the initial letters of the original words mi iolh lnv hshmilh, form the word milh, mylah, which word means circumcision, and the final letters are ihvh, the name jehovah: hence it was suggested that circumcision was a feature of the way to god in heaven. amen, amn is from the initials of adonai melekh namen "the lord and faithful king; and the famous rabbinic word of power used for talismans agla is formed of the initials of the words "ateh gibur leolam adonai "the lord ever powerful" or tu potens in saeculum dominine. temura is a more complex procedure an

t, averse and irregular, obtained from a square of 22 spaces in each direction, that is of 484 secondary squares, and then putting a letter in each square in order up and down, and then reading across or diagonally, etc. of this type is the so-called "kabalah of nine chambers" of the mark masons. a further development of the numerical arts was shown by the modes of contraction and extension; thus jehovah, ihvh 26, was extended to ivd-ha-vv-ha, and so 10, 5, 6, 5 or 26 became 20, 6, 12, 6 or 44. by extension zain, z.7, became 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 or 28; or 28 was regarded as 2 and 8 or 10. the tetragrammaton, jehovah 26 was also at times regarded as 2 and 6 or 8: so el shaddai, god almighty, al shdi, 1, 30, 300, 4, 10, was 345 and then 12 and then 3, a trinity. a quaint conceit was that o

c square of jupiter had 16 smaller squares within it; in each a number 1 to 16, and so each line added up to 34 and the total of numbers was 136. every talisman duly formed bore at least one god name to sanctify it: notable names were ih, jah; alh, eloah; then ihvh; then the notable 42 lettered name, which was really composed of others- aheie asher aheie (i am that i am) jah, jehuiah, al, elohim, jehovah, tzabaoth, al chai and adonai. the shemhamphorash, or separated name, was a famous word of power; it was formed of three times 72 letters: the words of three verses, 19, 20 and 21 of exodus xiv. were taken: the separated letters of verse 19 were written down, then the letters of verse 20 in reverse order, then those of verse 21 in direct order: this gave 72 names read from above down, each

let us more fully consider the conceptions of the divinity. isaac myer writes--god may be regarded from four points of view; as the eternal one, or ain sup, ain suph; as ahih, aheie, i am; as ihvh, who was, is and will be; and as alhim, elohim, god in nature, called adonai or lord. in the english old testament the word ihvh is translated lord, and elohim by god: boutell calls jah a contraction of jehovah. the jehovah of the old testament--as a tribal deity of personal characteristics, demonstrating his power and glory to a chosen people; oppressing other nations to do them service, and choosing as his special envoys and representatives men whom our civilisation would have condemned as not high enough for spiritual power, is not represented in the hebrew secret doctrine. the kabalah, indeed

jehovah of the old testament--as a tribal deity of personal characteristics, demonstrating his power and glory to a chosen people; oppressing other nations to do them service, and choosing as his special envoys and representatives men whom our civilisation would have condemned as not high enough for spiritual power, is not represented in the hebrew secret doctrine. the kabalah, indeed, is full of jehovah, ihvh, the divine four-lettered name, the tetragrammaton, but it is as the name of a group of divine conceptions, of emanations from a central spiritual light whose presence alone is postulated; from absolute god there is a series of emanations extending downward to reach jehovah, who is the divine one of binah, the supernal mother; other stages of emanation lead to the elohim, the group o

conceptions, of emanations from a central spiritual light whose presence alone is postulated; from absolute god there is a series of emanations extending downward to reach jehovah, who is the divine one of binah, the supernal mother; other stages of emanation lead to the elohim, the group of holy spiritual attributes, associated with the sixth sephira, the sun of tiphareth. after another manner, jehovah is the group of the emanations from the deific source, called the ten sephiroth "the voices from heaven" these ten sephiroth, of which the first is a condensation of the supernal glory from the ain suph aour, the boundless light, appear as a rainbow of the divinity in a first world, or highest plane above human conception, that of atziluth; by successive reflections, diminishing in brightn

nbow of the divinity in a first world, or highest plane above human conception, that of atziluth; by successive reflections, diminishing in brightness, a plane is reached which is conceivable by man, as of the purity of his highest spiritual vision. the grouping of the ten divine qualities, upon this plane, into a divine tetrad, is symbolised by yod heh vau heh, the tetragrammaton, the kabalistic jehovah, not the yahveh of the exoteric books, but the original of that god, whose reflections of a nation's patron is formulated in the old testament: it is "the ineffable name" never pronounced, its true sound is lost, and the jew replaces it by adonai, adni; it is unpronounceable because its real vowels are unknown; it ceased to be spoken before the vowel points were introduced (note--there are

fanation of religious ritual. it was in effect an attempt to derive power from god for the successful control of evil spirits. even in the grimoires and keys of black magic, the operator was constantly reminded that he or she must meditate continually on the undertaking at hand and center every hope in the infinite goodness of the great adonai. the god invoked in black magic was not satan but the jehovah of the jews and the trinity of the christians. the foundation of practical magic was the belief in the power of divine words to compel the obedience of all spirits to those who could pronounce them. such words and names were supposed to invoke or dismiss the denizens of the spirit world, and they, with suitable prayers, were used in all magical ceremonies. again it was thought that it was

of the world, skilled in the use of fire and metal. their ideal was male, hiram abiff, the master workman. the sons of seth, on the other hand, became the churchmen, upholding the feminine ideal, the virgin mary, and ruling their people by the magic water placed at their temple doors. various attempts have been made to unite the two streams of humanity and emancipate them from their progenitors, jehovah and the lucifer spirits. with this end in view the symbolical temple was built according to the instruction of solomon, the son of seth and the molten sea was cast by hiram abiff, the son of cain; but the main object was frustrated as we have seen, and the attempt at unification proved abortive. moses, the divinely appointed leader of the old dispensation, afterward reborn as elijah, guide

n in order to restore man to his lost estate as a spiritual being and to free him from this body of death wherein he is now encrusted. death must be swallowed up in immortality. to attain this object, a covenant was made with humanity when it was expelled from the garden of god to wander in the wilderness of the world. according to that plan, a tabernacle was built after a pattern planned by god, jehovah, and an ark symbolical of the human spirit was placed in it. its staves were never taken out of their place, to show that man is a pilgrim on the earth and may never rest until he reaches the goal. there was within it a golden pot with "manna (man "fallen from heaven" together with a statement of the divine laws which man must learn in his pilgrimage through the wilderness of matter. this

wers of nature had come to be represented by typhon seth. it was the god of death and of life, of destruction and regeneration. the simoom of the desert and the cold of winter were seth, as were also the genial powers of spring. we are informed by various writers that typhon seth was feminine. she was the early god of the jews. in other words, the jews were formerly worshippers of a female deity. jehovah, iav, was originally female. although the secret meaning of all the allegories contained in the old testament is not fully understood, still the belief that cain, abel, and seth represented the self-triplicated deity at a time when the idea of man as a creator had been accepted, or when his power to reproduce was becoming the highest idea of a creative force, is consistent with what is kno

aviour, and later moses. that, in the time of the latter, the more ancient worship of a creative force in nature represented by the aleim, had, by the masses of the people, been wholly lost, is evident from the old testament writings. the worship of the father, the male power, in opposition to that of the mother, or the female power, constituted the religion of moses. in the religion of the jews, jehovah came to be regarded as wholly male and as spirit, while edam (translated "downward tending, the female principle, was matter, or woman, which finally became identified with the devil. the philosophical doctrine that spirit is evolved through matter, or that matter must be raised to a certain dynamical power before spirit can manifest itself through it, was no longer understood; only the hu

the laity from reading the bible. the literal interpretation of the mosaic books and those of the old testament generally has repeatedly been used as a support for vicious systems of conduct, a notable example of which was seen not even a hundred years ago, when the clergy of protestant nations almost unanimously supported the continuance of the slave trade from arguments derived from the laws of jehovah. the freethinkers of that day were largely the champions of the suffering and oppressed races, and for centuries the wisest of men, the greatest scientists, have maintained, and ever won, struggle after struggle with the assumed infallibility of old hebrew testament literal instructions, and assertions, and narratives. the old testament may indeed be, to some extent, the link which binds t

divine image was also visualized by kabbalah as having a unitary, anthropomorphic form. god was, by one kabbalistic recension, adam kadmon: the first primordial or archetypal man. man shared with god both an intrinsic, uncreated divine spark and a complex, organic form. this strange equation of adam as god was supported by a kabbalistic cipher: the numerical value in hebrew of the names adam and jehovah (the tetragrammaton, yod he vav he) was both 45. thus in kabbalistic exegesis jehovah equaled adam: adam was god. with this affirmation went the as- gj the inside story on the kabbalah sertion that all humankind in highest realization was like god.28 this theology comprises of a mythology of paganism, and formed the basis of the degeneration of judaism. jewish kabbalists breached the limit

GNOSTIC HANDBOOK

gnostic worldview is the understanding of the role of personalism in religion. by personalism we mean not only theism (the worship of a personal god) but the use of gods and goddess with personality, character and humanness. this tendency is found in all religious traditions, while in the pagan traditions the gods seem more human, it is certainly also found in the monotheistic traditions as well. jehovah and allah at times seem all too human. for the gnostic the impersonal is the highest principle, the unoriginate originator is without personality in a human sense of the word since it is beyond all of our preconceptions and projections. while the three principles of the divine will, sophia and the logos can be given iconographic and literary form they too are essentially what they are call

ets blaming the hebrew ladies for taking part in the ritual mourning for him(*ezekiel, viii, 14) 283. solomon himself was by no means definitely monotheistic, and his people betrayed a distinct tendency to run after strange gods. there seems much evidence to prove that the love-song attributed to him in the bible is really a ritual hymn to astarte, for whom he built a temple quite near to that of jehovah. there is considerable uncertainty as to whether balkis, queen of sheba, was a real person, or only a personification of astarte. bro. ward explains that the festivals of the two patron saints of freemasonry, s. john the baptist in summer and s. john the evangelist in winter, are only a perpetuation of the feasts of the old fertility cult at the summer and winter solstices; that similar cu

ine nature in its fullness, but can perceive only the outer shell of things, represented by the remaining consonants. and even this we do not understand, and therefore for even that much of the divine name a substituted secret is necessary. and so in the tradition whenever the word yahweh occurred in the reading of the law, the name adonai (meaning my lord) was substituted for it (the modern word jehovah is made by using the consonants jhvh, and intercalating the vowels from the word adonai) the tradition looks forward to a future when time or circumstances shall have restored the genuine method of pronunciation, and man will return to the god from whom he came forth, able to utter the word in all its mighty power, to command the forces latent in his own divinity. 308. all this was interwo

orn by a certain high official in the scottish rite. under the old covenant the word was lost, and even when restored through the discovery of a certain secret vault, its true pronunciation was unknown; the end of the quest was not yet reached, though it was in sight. the new covenant added in the centre yet one letter more, the mystic shin, emblematical of fire and of the spirit; and so the word jehovah became jeheshua, the name of the christ. which things are an allegory, for it is only by the finding of the christ in the heart that the lost word can be rediscovered, and that very finding brings the knowledge of the true tetragrammaton- that secret of man s eternal being, which from the beginning has been written upon the cross of sacrifice and always kept hidden in the heart of the worl

LEWIS JAMES SATANISM TODAY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION FOLKLORE AND POPULAR CULTURE

guished from the secular anticult movement by its focus on theological issues.while the religions criticized by christian anticultists may be accused of exploiting and brainwashing their members, the more important accusation is their theological divergence from evangelical christianity. because of this theological emphasis, certain groups not normally considered cults such as the mormons and the jehovah witnesses are classified as such by the christian acm. the christian acm, unlike the secular acm, also distanced itself from the practice of deprogramming. the citizen s freedom foundation later renamed cult awareness network eventually became the national umbrella group for the acm in the united states. in addition to working closely with deprogrammers, anticult groups attempted to influe

rough at least two major phases. initially, they recognized one supreme divinity, god. the focus of the group s ritual and therapeutic processes (hence the name) was transforming those aspects of human nature that defied god. christ was seen as having been sent into the world to reconcile humanity with god. in the second phase, in 1967, robert de grimston introduced the notion of four divinities: jehovah, lucifer, satan, and christ. each of these gods represented a basic personality or orientation to the world, as well as a paradigmatic human problem. every individual was viewed as being linked to the god with whom they shared the most traits. the names of the four divinities were also paired and used as designations for four different personality types: luciferian-christian, jehovian-sata

ere also paired and used as designations for four different personality types: luciferian-christian, jehovian-satanic, jehovian-christian, and luciferian-satanic. as indicated by the longer name of the group the process church of the final judgment the process also taught a form of millennialism in which the world as we know it would eventually come to an end. the polarized divinities lucifer and jehovah; christ and satan will be unified in this endtime. this notion is reflected in such passages from process scripture as: through love, christ and satan have destroyed their enmity and come together for the end, christ to judge, satan to execute the judgement. christ and satan joined, the lamb and the goat, pure love descended from the pinnacle of heaven, united with pure hatred raised from

f innocence although his sin is elsewhere thought to be superbia, envy, ambition, insolence. according to the talmud, satan s sin lay not in his rivalry with god but in his envy of man. the rabbis say that when adam was created all the angels had to bow to the new king of the earth, but satan refused. thus god flung satan and his host out of heaven, down to the earth. the enmity between satan and jehovah dates from that moment. a similar account is contained in the koran, which says that when allah created man, he called all the angels to worship this crowning work of his hands. however, eblis refused to worship adam and was banished from heaven for failing to obey the command of allah. some medieval philosophers asserted that the conflict lasted three seconds, and that lucifer and certain

oup of the gnostics was of the opinion that the demiurgus was the cause of all misery and was an evil creature, who by building this lower world had separated the souls of men from truth by encasing them in mortal vehicles. the other sect viewed the demiurgus as being divinely inspired and merely fulfilling the dictates of the invisible lord. some gnostics were of the opinion that the jewish god, jehovah, was the demiurgus. this concept, under a slightly different name, apparently influenced medi val rosicrucianism, which viewed jehovah as the lord of the material universe rather than as the supreme deity. mythology abounds with the stories of gods who partook of both celestial and terrestrial natures. odin, of scandinavia, is a good example of a deity subject to mortality, bowing before t

be conscious of his existence; but those who have not attained spiritual consciousness may yet feel his power by an inner faculty which is called intuition" certain rosicrucian scholars have given special appellations to these three phases of the sun: the spiritual sun they called vulcan; the soular and intellectual sun, christ and lucifer respectively; and the material sun, the jewish demiurgus jehovah. lucifer here represents the intellectual mind without the illumination of the spiritual mind; therefore it is "the false light" the false light is finally overcome and redeemed by the true light of the soul, called the second logos or christ. the secret processes by which the luciferian intellect is transmuted into the christly intellect constitute one of the great secrets of alchemy, and

d from which they delivered oracles. while christian authors have tried to prove that oracular revelations were delivered by the devil for the purpose of misleading humanity, they have not dared to attack the theory of oracles, because of the repeated reference to it in their own sacred writings. if the onyx stones on the shoulders of israel's high priest made known by their flashings the will of jehovah, then a black dove, temporarily endowed with the faculty of speech, could indeed pronounce oracles in the temple of jupiter ammon. if the witch of endor could invoke the shade of samuel, who in turn gave prophecies to saul, could not a priestess of apollo call up the specter of her liege to foretell the destiny of greece? the most famous oracles of antiquity were those of delphi, dodona, t

ngue. only words of greek or hebrew derivation can be successfully analyzed by this method, and all words must be spelled in their most ancient and complete forms. old testament words and names, therefore, must be translated back into the early hebrew characters and new testament words into the greek. two examples will help to clarify this principle. the demiurgus of the jews is called in english jehovah, but when seeking the numerical value of the name jehovah it is necessary to resolve the name into its hebrew letters. it becomes, and is read from right to left. the hebrew letters are, he, vau, he, yod; and when reversed into the english order from left to right read: yod-he-vau-he. by consulting the foregoing table of letter values, it is found that the four characters of this sacred na

om right to left. the hebrew letters are, he, vau, he, yod; and when reversed into the english order from left to right read: yod-he-vau-he. by consulting the foregoing table of letter values, it is found that the four characters of this sacred name have the following numerical significance: yod equals 10. he equals 5, vau equals 6, and the second he equals 5. therefore, 10+5+6+5=26, a synonym of jehovah. if the english letters were used, the answer obviously would not be correct. the second example is the mysterious gnostic pantheos abraxas. for this name the greek table is used. abraxas in greek is braxav. a= 1, b= 2, r= 100, a= 1, x =60, a= 1, v= 200, the sum being 365, the number of days in the year. this number furnishes the key to the mystery of abraxas, who is symbolic of the 365 on

g nearly all these ancient peoples the serpent was accepted as the symbol of wisdom or salvation. the antipathy which christendom feels towards the snake is based upon the little-understood allegory of the garden of eden. the serpent is true to the principle of wisdom, for it tempts man to the knowledge of himself. therefore the knowledge of self resulted from man's disobedience to the demiurgus, jehovah. how the serpent came to be in the garden of the lord after god had declared that all creatures which he had made during the six days of creation were good has not been satisfactorily answered by the interpreters of scripture. the tree that grows in the midst of the garden is the spinal fire; the knowledge of the use of that spinal fire is the gift of the great serpent. notwithstanding sta

hat its true explanation could not be divulged. it was termed by the cabiri "the forbidden secret" many greek gods and goddesses are depicted holding the fruit or flower of the pomegranate in their hands, evidently to signify that they are givers of life and plenty. pomegranate capitals were placed upon the pillars of jachin and boaz standing in front of king solomon's temple; and by the order of jehovah, pomegranate blossoms were embroidered upon the bottom of the high priest's ephod. strong wine made from the juice of the grape was looked upon as symbolic of the false life and false light of the universe, for it was produced by a false process--artificial fermentation. the rational faculties are clouded by strong drink, and the animal nature, liberated from bondage, controls the individu

really the philosophical stone, for philosophy is truly likened to a magic jewel whose touch transmutes base substances into priceless gems like itself. wisdom is the alchemist's powder of projection which transforms many thousand times its own weight of gross ignorance into the precious substance of enlightenment. the tablets of the law while upon the heights of mount sinai, moses received from jehovah two tablets bearing the characters of the decalogue traced by the very finger of israel's god. these tables were fashioned from the divine sapphire, schethiy, which the most high, after removing from his own throne, had cast into the abyss to become the foundation and generator of the worlds. this sacred stone, formed of heavenly dew, was sundered by the breath of god, and upon the two par

through magical means. it is important not to mistake this azazel, and those who were with him, for the traveling civilizer spoke of earlier. the fallen angels of eden taught humanity much magic, and did not have the support of the most high god. our humble civilizer, on the other hand, spoke of morals and the sciences while never teaching magic, and he also had the support of the most high god. jehovah, jove, or god, is the righteous brother and ruler whose names are also many. to the jews, he was yahweh. to the christians he is jehovah. in persia he was known as ahura mazda, the bother of the evil ahriman. in egypt, he was ra/osiris. the greek myths call this entity zeus, and in rome he went by the name jupiter. this being, and his son, is commonly associated with the sun. here an impor

tan. satan, or set, is the god of the setting sun and so therefore his symbol is that of a black sun, as opposed to his righteous brother who is associated with rising sun. it is far from uncommon for occultists to associate the sun with jesus and osiris; it is equally common for them to associate jesus with osiris. in mythology, just look for a guy with the crazy brother, and you ll usually find jehovah. of coarse most christians would find it hard to believe that they are engaged in the--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 15 worship of zeus and osiris; maybe even take offense to such a statement. their god, the god of israel, could never be compared to the greek god zeus. we re talking about god here, not a promiscuous cartoon character who throws lightning-bolts! but your own bible doe

ravelers" 74 a reoccurring theme in mythology and the occult, is the concept of a god or goddess having multiple aspects. similar to how your guardian angel, guardian demon, and spirit are 3 aspects of you; one of those aspects is good and pure, another is dark and selfish, and your fleshly manifestation is another aspect of you that stands between the two. yahweh [5.1] this is the most-high god, jehovah, the god of israel. he is also zeus, jupiter, osiris, and ahura mazda. he is the archon (angel) emperor, the king of heaven, and the father of the elohim. he is said to be the true father of the arch-angels michael, gabriel, uriel, raphael, and satanael (satan. although in some accounts, satan is his brother. these sons of god are commonly equated with the children of jehovah; zeus is also

tradition. according to greek mythology zeus, along with his brothers poseidon and hades, defeated the older gods, called the titans, and banished them to tartarus (the greek underworld. these titans, who were the offspring of gaia (tiamat, once ruled the earth; their brutish nature corrupting and spoiling the planet. this race even attempted to make slaves and sport out of the angelic race, but jehovah and satan cast down the titans. it is also worth mentioning that prometheus sided with zeus (the olympians) in the war of the titans. although the greek mythology does not mention it, eventually a flaming rock was hurled to the earth from space, killing this race of terrible beasts, and casting their souls to tartarus. it is important to bare in mind that there were 2 wars, or en-masse des

t mention it, eventually a flaming rock was hurled to the earth from space, killing this race of terrible beasts, and casting their souls to tartarus. it is important to bare in mind that there were 2 wars, or en-masse desertions, in heaven. the first between the angels--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 77 and the spawn of tiamat, and the second heavenly conflict was between satan s angels and jehovah s angels. the only trace of this event in the genesis account is subtle, and easily over-looked. in genesis 1:28 we read: and god blessed them, and god said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. replenish the earth is cert

nderworld, demanding the souls of those nephilim from hades. lucifer, who is also called azazel and prometheus, absorbed the essence of satan; think of lucifer as an avatar of satan, and it must be remembered that lucifer is satan only because of the merger. upon falling to earth, he worked some kind transformation upon himself, where he became both angel and demon. azazel, one of the children of jehovah, fell from heaven along with leviathan, belial, beelzebub, ashtoreth, asmodeus, dagon, satan, and many others whose names go unrecorded. lucifer is often characterized with 12 emerald-colored wings and is called the peacock angel. lucifer is said to have many faces and forms, and when he appears on the earth he arrives in the form of baphomet, the black man of the sabbat. azazel and his br

fallen angels, were also said to have pale skin, silver hair, and bright eyes. it is said that the sphinx originally bore the face of lucifer himself, before an egyptian king restored the sphinx with his own face. after assuming the form of azazel, satan used his newly-won creative energy to give birth to the nephilim race, who was half angel and half man. after stealing the creative energy from jehovah, the angels would multiple no more, and satan intended to use the nephilim to increase his numbers, being still out-numbered by the angels. many of these nephilim would die in the--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 83 flood, but a bloodline, like that of the nephilim goliath and his brothers, did survive. these giants were warlike, brutal, and ruled over humanity. they also contended a l

MORALS AND DOGMA

eb of fiction and allegory was woven, partly by art and partly by the ignorance of error, which the wit of man, with his limited means of explanation, will never unravel. even the hebrew theism became involved in symbolism and image-worship, borrowed probably from an older creed and remote regions of asia--the worship of the great semitic nature-god al or els and its symbolical representations of jehovah himself were not even confined to poetical or illustrative language. the priests were monotheists: the people idolaters. there are dangers inseparable from symbolism, which afford an impressive lesson in regard to the similar risks attendant on the use of language. the imagination, called in to assist the reason, usurps its place or leaves its ally helplessly entangled in its web. names wh

r's word. yield it up neither to flattery nor force! let no defeat or persecution rob you of it! believe that he who once blundered in statesmanship will blunder again; that such blunders are as fatal as crimes; and that political near-sightedness does not improve by age. there are always more impostors than seers among public men, more false prophets than true ones, more prophets of baal than of jehovah; and jerusalem is always in danger from the assyrians. sallust said that after a state has been corrupted by luxury and idleness, it may by its mere greatness bear up under the burden of its vices. but even while he wrote, rome, of which he spoke, had played out her masquerade of freedom. other causes than luxury and sloth destroy republics. if small, their larger neighbors extinguish them

cities. and it sees also the oppression still practised in the name of religion--men shot in a christian jail in christian italy for reading the christian bible; in almost every christian state, laws forbidding freedom of speech on matters relating to christianity; and the gallows reaching its arm over the pulpit. the fires of moloch in syria, the harsh mutilations in the name of astarte, cybele, jehovah; the barbarities of imperial pagan torturers; the still grosser torments which roman-gothic christians in italy and spain heaped on their brother-men; the fiendish cruelties to which switzerland, france, the netherlands, england, scotland, ireland, america, have been witnesses, are none too powerful to warn man of the unspeakable evils which follow from mistakes and errors in the matter of

t is true, that before the masoretic points were invented (which was after the beginning of the christian era, the pronunciation of a word in the hebrew language could not be known from the characters in which it was written. it was, therefore _possible_ for that of the name of the deity to have been forgotten and lost. it is certain that its true pronunciation is not that represented by the word jehovah; and therefore that _that_ is not the true name of deity, nor the ineffable word. the ancient symbols and allegories always had more than one interpretation. they always had a _double_ meaning, and sometimes _more_ than two, one serving as the envelope of the other. thus the _pronunciation_ of the word was a symbol; and that pronunciation and the word itself were lost, when the knowledge o

their doctrine from the persians. like them they claimed to have the exclusive and mysterious knowledge, unknown to the mass. like them they taught that a constant war was waged between the empire of good and that of evil. like them they attributed the sin and fall of man to the demons and their chief; and like them they admitted a special protection of the righteous by inferior beings, agents of jehovah. all their doctrines on these subjects were at bottom those of the holy books; but singularly developed; and the orient was evidently the source from which those developments came. they styled themselves _interpreters; a name indicating their claim to the exclusive possession of the true meaning of the holy writings, by virtue of the oral tradition which moses had received on mount sinai

the veriest abstractions became existences and realities. the attributes of god, personified, became powers, spirits, intelligences. god was the _light of light _divine fire, the _abstract intellectuality, the _root_ or _germ_ of the universe _simon magus, founder of the gnostic faith, and many of the early judaizing christians, admitted that the manifestations of the supreme being, as father, or jehovah, son or christ, and holy spirit, were only so many different _modes_ of existence, or _forces[[greek: d??a e] of the same god. to others they were, as were the multitude of subordinate intelligences, real and distinct beings. the oriental imagination revelled in the creation of these inferior intelligences, powers of good and evil, and angels. we have spoken of those imagined by the persia

es, in france and britain, and in that new world, not known to jew or gentile, until the glories of the orient had faded, that order has builded new temples, and teaches to its millions of initiates those lessons of peace, good-will, and toleration, of reliance on god and confidence in man, which it learned when hebrew and giblemite worked side by side on the slopes of lebanon, and the servant of jehovah and the ph nician worshipper of bel sat with the humble artisan in council at jerusalem. it is the dead that govern. the living only obey. and if the soul sees, after death, what passes on this earth, and watches over the welfare of those it loves, then must its greatest happiness consist in seeing the current of its beneficent influences widening out from age to age, as rivulets widen int

he gods, and ever, like st. george of england and michael the archangel, wars against hydras and dragons. the eclipses of the sun and moon were believed by the orientals to be caused by the assaults of a d mon in dragon-form; and they endeavored to scare away the intruder by shouts and menaces. this was the original leviathan or crooked serpent of old, transfixed in the olden time by the power of jehovah, and suspended as a glittering trophy in the sky; yet also the power of darkness supposed to be ever in pursuit of the sun and moon. when it finally overtakes them, it will entwine them in its folds, and prevent their shining. in the last indian avatara, as in the eddas, a serpent vomiting flames is expected to destroy the world. the serpent presides over the close of the year, where it gu

t into his proper element, the sea. there he is installed as the sea-god oannes or dragon, the leviathan of the watery, half of creation, the dragon who vomited a flood of water after the persecuted woman of the apocalypse, the monster who threatened to devour hesione and andromeda, and who for a time became the grave of hercules and jonah; and he corresponds with the obscure name of _rahab, whom jehovah is said in job to have transfixed and overcome. in the spring, the year or sun-god appears as mithras or europa mounted on the bull; but in the opposite half of the zodiac he rides the emblem of the waters, the winged horse of nestor or poseidon: and the serpent, rising heliacally at the autumnal equinox, besetting with poisonous influence the cold constellation sagittarius, is explained a

esting aspect of the cabala is that the achieving of knowledge is likened to sexual union with shekinah, a female personification of wisdom. this is similar to the gnostic sophia, wisdom given a female personification, only with a much stronger sexual connection since she was a prostitute. gnosticism was the main competitor to christianity in ancient rome. the gnostics believed that the christian jehovah was not the real god but an evil creator of an evil world. the power of the spheres sit or lie down, whichever you find most comfortable, at the center of your witching circle. if you choose the latter, use a rug or blanket as a mattress. now begin to breathe rhythmically until the rhythm is established. while inhaling and exhaling in this rhythmic pattern pretend that a sparkling, sphere

really all about. we will learn that judas was really a hero, not a traitor. history is full of accounts where lunatics in power are brought down by their own supporters. in world war ii some of hitler's generals attempted to murder him. as hitler could manipulate crowds, so did jesus. 1 john 3:8 he that committeth sin is of satan; for satan sinneth from the beginning. for this purpose the son of jehovah was manifested, that he might destroy the works of satan. there are a number of interesting concepts in this statement. first, let's recognize that god does have a name. christians call him jehovah. satanists call him satan. now having said this, let's look deeper into the text. notice the term "son of jehovah. here we see that god has given his son a "purpose. and, according to the author

ake of christianity, satan becomes manifest as a real entity. this manifestation of satan is twisted even further with the imagination and illogic taking over at this point. a roaring lion will seldom eat. lions do not walk about roaring and waiting for dinner to come to them. no, lions stalk their prey. they roar only after their prey has been vanquished. james 4:7 submit yourselves therefore to jehovah. resist satan, and he will flee from you. in these modern times, christians use this passage as a permit to be rude, closed minded, indifferent, and hostile towards anyone who is not of like kind. jude 1:9 yet michael the archangel, when contending with satan he disputed about the body of moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, the lord rebuke thee. here is a fin

written, thou shalt worship the lord thy god, and him only shalt thou serve. what jesus is saying here is that he is not receptive to satan's missionary efforts. jesus responds to satan by saying, i choose to remain within the confines of my own system. matthew 16:23 but he turned, and said unto peter, get behind me, satan; thou art an offense unto me; for thou savourest not the things that be of jehovah, but that of men. here we see jesus turn on one of his elect. if we put ourselves in peter's place, we can imagine what it must have been like to have our lord accusing us of being satanic. now let's turn this one around. let's say we find ourselves in a discussion with a christian. something happens, the timing is right, and we lash out at the christian by saying "get thee behind me, jeho

of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. and the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face of a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. and the four beasts each had six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within; and they rest not day and night, saying, holy, holy, holy, lord jehovah almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. isaiah 14:12-14 how you have fallen from heaven, o morning star, son of the dawn! you have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! you said in your heart 'i will ascend to heaven; i will raise my throne above the stars of god; i will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. i w

orary german satanic ritual can be seen in carducci's hymn to satan, in which satan is lauded as the spirit of progress, the inspirer of all great movements that contribute to the development of civilization and the advancement of mankind. he is the spirit of revolt that leads to freedom, the embodiment of all heresies that liberate. he wins the undivided admiration of man, and finally supercedes jehovah as the object of worship. of the two german rites included here, the tierdrama is the older. the lessons taught by aesopian allegory are the first essays to instruct man on the pragmatic importance of applied psychology. aesopian parable, which was recorded as early as 1500 b.c in egypt, was late to appear in a german interpretation. as a result, when gotthold lessing produced the parables

biblical tradition has it that the name was first revealed to moses when he went up upon horeb, the mountain of god, and saw the burning bush history of the name 3 (exod. 3:14-51, and it is explicitly stated that prior to this revelation to moses the name was not known among the hebrews "and i appeared unto abraham, unto isaac, and unto jacob, by the name of god almighty (shaddai; but by my name jehovah (ihvh) was i not known to them (exod. 6:3. this has led to speculation that the name originally belonged to the resident deity of the holy mountain who was worshipped by the tribes that dwelt in the region south of palestine. in receiving the name, moses also took on the authority of the god of the mountain and conveyed its power to his people. that is why he married a daughter of the prie

(although gershom scholem finds a connection between iao and the truncated name ihv used in sepher yetzirah to seal the six directions of space-see scholem, kabbalah, p. 27. so are wilder claims that the name can be traced back to ancient china, egypt, or babylonia. all these propositions have been put forth at different times, but there is little hard evidence to support them. the pronunciation jehovah, which occurs in many english bibles, including the king james, is the result of an error that arose due to a lack of familiarity with hebrew scribal practices on the part of european scholars of the fourteenth century. in hebrew, all the letters are consonants, and the vowels sounded with them are indicated by putting small marks or 4 tetragrammaton "points" near the letters. the consonan

as adonai. ordinarily, when such a substitution is made, the consonants of the substituted word are written in the margin to avoid confusion, but since the use of adonai for ihvh was so well known to jewish readers, this was deemed unnecessary. european scholars, unaware of this practice, read the consonants ihvh and the vowel sounds for adonai together, and the result was the impossible hybrid "jehovah" the correct pronunciation is thought to be yahveh or yahweh, with the accent falling on the second syllable. writing in greek around the end of the second century, clement of alexandria states that the pronunciation is i c u x, iaove. variants in the manuscripts are ia ove, ia ova1 and iaov. epiphanius, who was born and lived for a considerable period in palestine, reports around the end

ple "my name is written yhvh and read adonai" the epoch of restoration and completion is called, almost indifferently, that of resurrection, the world to come, and the advent of the messiah. in such day the present imperfect separation between the letters will be put an end to, once and forever. if it be asked: what is the connection between the loss and dismemberment which befell the divine name jehovah and the lost word in masonry, i cannot answer too plainly; but every royal arch mason knows that which is communicated to him in that supreme degree, and in the light of the present explanation he will see that the "great" and "incomprehensible" thing so imparted comes to him from the secret tradition of israel. it is also to this kabalistic source, rather than to the variant accounts in t
