dmit that i utterly failed. looking, then, around my prison, i began to feel a very peculiar sort of numbness coming over me. it was almost like intoxication, and i am not in the least ashamed to say that i know what intoxication is. i was drowsy; my head seemed to weigh as heavy as if it contained lead in place of the keenest brains. the coffin appeared to me a most comfortable bedstead, and the skull a soft pillow. a horrible attraction bent me towards the box, and in a moment i lay, stiff, snoring, over the eight compartments. there is here a blank in my memory. under the influence of a powerful narcotic, i was cut out and planed to fit the coffin exactly. about that time my tormentors must have been interrupted, for they forgot to nail me on the coffin, and the cage was hurriedly put o

ars helped the president to see him in a new light. harriman money was involved in funding the bolsheviks and--i rhodes to ruin 61 both sides of the first world war. he and the rockefellers provided part of the start-up capital for the morgan guaranty trust, which was to be the vehicle for enormous manipulation of world events. edward harriman had two sons, averell and roland, both pillars of the skull and bones society. averell (comm 300) was to become one of the most active manipulators of the twentieth century. but who was really behind these american business and banking giants? the j.p. morgan empire began in 1838 as george peabody and company, in england. it had connections with the firm of brown brothers (later brown brothers, harriman. george peabody was working secretly as an agen

oundation, he travelled with john d. rockefeller iii on a number of world tours campaigning for policies to stem the expansion of the non-white populations. in november 1952, dulles and rockefeller launched the population council with tens of millions of dollars provided by the rockefeller family. the american eugenics society left its old headquarters at yale university, the home of the sinister skull and bones society, and moved in with the population council. the two organisations, in effect, became one. the first president of the population council was frederick osborne, the long-time secretary of the american eugenics society. the child-steriliser of north carolina, dr claude nash herndon, was made president of the eugenics society in 1953. when george bush became ambassador to the un

ism of the initiation ceremony would appear to indicate at least close links with freemasonry. it was started in 1832-1833 by general william huntington russell and alphonso taft, a famous american family name. in 1876, taft was to be the secretary of war in the grant administration and his son, william howard taft, was the only man to be both president and chief justice of the united states. the skull and bones society is deeply racist and was founded on the fortune made from illegal drugs. the society was incorporated in 1856 as the russell trust and by a special act of state legislation, its trustees are exempted from filing corporate reports to the connecticut authorities. the initiation ceremonies for the skull and bones still take place at deer island in the st lawrence river. the is

no face, but i will make one. the photographic plate revealed a tall phantom clothed in white, having a death s-head instead of a face. a similar but more gruesome instance was described in the reports of the academia de estudo psychicos cesar lombroso of s.ao paolo, on the mediumship of carlo mirabelli: the third sitting followed immediately while the medium was still in a state of exhaustion. a skull inside the closet began to beat against the doors. they opened it and the skull floated into the air. soon the bones of a skeleton appeared one after another from neck to feet. the medium is in a delirium, beats himself and emits a bad smell like that of a cadaver. the skeleton begins to walk, stumble and walk again. it walks round the room while dr. de souza touches it. he feels hard, wet

then, he said, he received a shock and lost consciousness. reportedly, for 36 minutes in broad daylight the materialization of the young daughter of dr. souza, who died of influenza, was visible to all the sitters. she appeared in her burial clothes. her pulse was tested. father and child were photographed. then the phantom raised itself and floated in the air. at the third sitting, supposedly a skull inside the closet began to beat the doors, came out, and slowly grew to a full skeleton. in another sitting mirabelli announced that he saw the body of bishop dr. jose de carmago barros, who had lost his life in a shipwreck: a sweet smell as of roses filled the room. the medium went into trance. a fine mist was seen in the circle. the mist, glowing as if of gold, parted and the bishop materi

sician with a detailed knowledge of the brain and nervous system, and he proposed phrenology to his colleagues for their serious scientific consideration. phrenology became the province of many original thinkers of the day. however, phrenology also was popularized and practiced by non-medical individuals and even fairground charlatans. essentially, phrenology defined more than thirty areas of the skull related to such instincts as amativeness, philogeniture, habitativeness, affection, combativeness, destructiveness, alimentiveness, secretiveness, acquisitiveness, and constructiveness, and to such moral faculties as self-esteem, approbativeness, circumspection, benevolence, veneration, firmness, conscientiousness, hope, admiration, idealism, cheerfulness, and imitativeness. the size and dev

plies that ymir was very ancient. that implication is supported by voluspa, stanza 3: that was long ago, when ymir lived, there was no sand nor sea nor cool waves; the earth did not exist nor heaven above, a gap was gaping, nor was there grass. the following stanza says that the sons of bur raised lands; they were gthe ones who created famous midgard. h pagan skalds used kennings such as gymir fs skull h for heaven or gymir fs blood h for the sea, so the notion of ymir as the raw material of the cosmos is assuredly old. the role of the gods in it, although perhaps implied by voluspa, is made explicit only by snorri sturluson in gylfaginning. but snorri actually has several important things to say about ymir, and the first of these is his role as proto-giant and progenitor of the race of gi

not associated explicitly with any month, but whose presence [in this array] is hidden. 6 lamentations 1:16. 7 ibid.1:13. the arizal on parashat bo (3) 17 the mouth, the organ of speech, is associated with malchut, the sefirah of expression. this same order applies to the [association between nukva and the months due to its relationship with the] male [z feir anpin: tishrei is associated with the skull of the male. just as nisan is considered the first year of the month from the seasonal perspective, tishrei is considered the first month in that years are counted from it. it is explained in chassidut that our ongoing process of self-refinement is more dependent on our own initiative during the gmale h half of the year, i.e, from tishrei to adar. during the gfemale h half of the year, i.e

vested in the spring and summer. the clearest expression of this dynamic is the high holidays of the month of tishrei, in which we work on ourselves intensely in order to establish a higher and more profound relationship with g-d for the coming year. this process involves awakening our deep, innate desire and will to relate to g-d and accomplish his will, which, as we said, is synonymous with the skull. cheshvan and kislev are associated with the two ears [of z feir anpin. cheshvan possesses no festivals; this reflects the male abstraction of chochmah. the festival of kislev is chanukah, in which the intellect of the torah vanquished greek pagan philosophy. tevet and shevat are associated with the two eyes [of z feir anpin. adar is associated with the nose [of z feir anpin. here, too, the

ing from the male [array, the only month that may be intercalated is adar. as we said, in order to keep the holiday of pesach in the spring, i.e, after the vernal equinox, it was sometimes necessary to add a thirteenth lunar month to the year. the only month jewish law allows to be doubled in order to do this is adar. the mystical reason for this is that in the array of face-organs, the order is: skull, ears, eyes, nose, mouth. since the mouth follows the nose.which is associated with the month of adar.the only place the mouth can be used to insert another month into the array is after (the first) adar. the arizal on parashat bo (3) 18 this was the mistake of king hezekiah, of blessed memory, who intercalated a second nisan in the month of nisan. his mistake was that we must only intercala

e street or view a cinema or television program. watch them: the masses of moving flesh going nowhere, the rhythm of perpetual motion, moving about with no purpose but basic, animal-like cravings for food, social stasis, and self-defense. de lubicz puts the psychological, ultimate developed state of man at about 17 years old, on a personal level. in the temple in man is shown the "crowning of the skull" thesis to illustrate more than what seems simply to be adulthood. this "crowning" has not yet been achieved by mankind. there may have been those isolated cases mentioned earlier, but i doubt t. i believe, in accordance with ancient egyptian tradition, that man cannot achieve this "crowning" in his present state of development. not yet, at least, and not the man we know. in my view this anc

ries before thales, egypt had existed as a national system. not a mere city-state or even federation of citystates. it was older to the greeks than the greeks are to present-day humans. scientifically it developed architecture to a precision unapproached again until the present century [and in some aspects still unequalled].3 it developed elaborate, codified medical skills [including that of open-skull brain surgery] which were used with a high measure of success.4 it possessed the only accurate calendar in the entire mediterranean until the time of julius caesar [when caesar introduced a modified egyptian calendar to the roman empire; the egyptians' own records date back to 4241 bce!5 and what of the hieroglyphic alphabet, introduced more than seven thousand years ago?6 the chimaera: i ex

s dark for obvious reasons. the initiate is the next figure, and he walks upon a thick black line which is the darkness or the abstraction of his own being. he wears a light garment which shows the realm in which his semblance or manifestation must exist, but around his waist is a dark band which is his umbilical, for he is also a child of darkness. a dark nemes covers his upper vertebrae and his skull which is divided at the crown by a headband- indicating phi quality. upon his pineal gland is the hooded serpent one, the force of essential fire, she "who twines the spine and rests her head upon the brow" her trailing body neatly separates the two halves of the brain. a circular disk rests upon the heart of the initiate, but the pentagram which would normally be in the center of the disk h

ot only does the lower band show a symmetry, but it can show an established base, brought about through will. the upper band has lines moving at angles. those angles are seen to move in the light, bringing about a binding of the light and making it subject to the magician. all this set can do without symbolisms; it is the initiate for whom it is portrayed through the use of symbols. the spine and skull of the initiate are the only logical places set would be looking at. it's not that he has a thing for bones.what's a stack of vertebrae and a skull to the prince of darkness?.but rather that the skull and spine house the central nervous system, that which sends and receives impulses from all other areas. this narrows it down, but neither is it correct to say set has a thing for masses of tis

ers have expanded the theory of the monstrous sea mammal and combined it with another candidate for survival from prehistory. they hypothesize the survival of an ancient species of whale known as zeuglodon or basilosaurus, whose fossil remains are well-known. wellequipped for the role of a sea monster, basilosaurus was a huge beast with a slim, elongated body measuring over 70 feet in length. its skull was long and low, and the creature propelled itself by means of a single pair of fins at its forward end. this massive marine monster is known to have survived into the miocene epoch, just over 30 million years ago. if the coelacanth has survived for 70 million years, it seems possible that the relatively young basilosaurus could still be inhabiting the seas. after years of researching nessi

TRUE HISTORY OF WITCHCRAFT

had known that ripley had, in the nineteen seventies, acquired the gardner stuff, but as far as i knew it was all located at their tennessee resort museum. i think i'd heard they'd closed it down. by then, the social liberalism of the early seventies was over, and witchcraft and sorcery were no longer in keeping with a `family style' museum. it featured a man with a candle in his head, a tantric skull drinking cup and freak show stuff like that, but, i mean, witchcraft is sacrilegious, as we all know. so, i was a bit surprised, when i discovered some of the gardner stuff- including an important historical document, for sale in the gift shop, in a case just opposite the little alligators that have "st.augustine, florida- america's oldest city" stickered on their plastic bellies for the fol

to kiss him in ano, on the navel, and sometimes on the generative member; 3. that, in despite of the saviour, they sometimes worshipped a cat, which appeared amongst them in their secret conclave; 4. that they practised unnatural vice together; 5. that they had idols in their different provinces; in the form of a head, having sometimes three faces, sometimes two, or only one, and sometimes a bare skull, which they called their saviour, and believed its influence to be exerted in making them rich, and in making flowers grow and the earth germinate; and 6. that they always wore about their bodies a cord which had been rubbed against the head, and which served for their protection.1 the ceremonies attending the reception into the order were so universally acknowledged, and are described in te

duas facies, et quod esset terribilis aspectu, et quod haberet barbam argenteam. proc s, i, 502. generative powers 197 for one of the eleven thousand virgins, but this is, perhaps, partly explained by the deposition of another witness, guillaume pidoye, who had the charge of the relics &c, belonging to the temple in paris, and who produced a head of silver gilt, having a woman's face, and a small skull, resembling that of a woman, inside, which was said to be that of one of the eleven thousand virgins. at the same time another head was brought forward, having a beard, and supposed to be that of the idol.1 both these witnesses had no doubt confounded two things. pierre garald, of mursac, another witness, said that after he had denied christ and spitten on the cross, the receptor drew from h

us stone, nine inches long by seven broad, and four and a half deep, with a lid about two inches thick. it was found in burgundy. on the lid is sculptured a figure, naked, with a head-dress resembling that given to cybele in ancient monuments, holding up a chain with each hand, and surrounded with various symbols, the sun and moon above, the star and the pentacle below, and under the feet a human skull.1 the chains are explained by von hammer as representing the chains of ons of the gnostics. on the four sides of the coffer we see a series of figures engaged in the performance of various ceremonies, which are not easily explained, but which von hammer considers as belonging to the rites of the gnostics and ophians. the offering of a calf figures prominently among these 1 see our plate xxxv

nies, which are not easily explained, but which von hammer considers as belonging to the rites of the gnostics and ophians. the offering of a calf figures prominently among these 1 see our plate xxxviii. 200 on the worship of the rites, a worship which is said still to exist among the nossarii, or nessarenes, the druses, and other sects in the east. in the middle of the scene on one side, a human skull is seen, raised upon a pole. on another side an androgynous figure is represented as the object of worship of two candidates for initiation, who wear masks apparently of a cat, and whose form of adoration reminds us of the kiss enacted at the initiation of the templars.1 this group reminds us, too, of the pictures of the orgies in the worship of priapus, as represented on roman monuments. th

eries, which we have also copied,3 is identical with that on the lid of the coffer found in burgundy, but it is distinctly represented as androgynous. we have exactly the same figure on another coffer, in the vienna museum,4 with some of the same symbols, the star, pentacle, 1 plate xxxix, fig. 1. 2 plate xxxix, fig. 2. 3 plate xxxix, fig. 3. 4 plate xxxix, fig. 4. generative powers 201 and human skull. perhaps, in this last, the beard is intended to show that the figure must be taken as androgynous. on an impartial comparison we can hardly doubt that these curious objects, images, coffers, cups, and bowls, have been intended for use in some secret and mysterious rites, and the arguments by which von hammer attempts to show that they belonged to the templars seem at least to be very plausi

that the figure must be taken as androgynous. on an impartial comparison we can hardly doubt that these curious objects, images, coffers, cups, and bowls, have been intended for use in some secret and mysterious rites, and the arguments by which von hammer attempts to show that they belonged to the templars seem at least to be very plausible. several of the objects represented upon them, even the skull, are alluded to in some of the confessions of the templars, and these evidently only confessed a part of what they knew, or otherwise they were very imperfectly acquainted with the secrets of their order. perhaps the most secret doctrines and rites were only communicated fully to a small number. there is, however, another circumstance connected with these objects which appears to furnish an

ance, or, as von hammer suggests, may have been introduced designedly, for the purpose of concealing the meaning from the uninitiated. a good example of this inscription surrounds the lid of the coffer found in burgundy, and is interpreted as follows by von hammer, who regards it as a sort of parody on the cantate laudes domini. in fact, the word under the feet of the figure, between them and the skull, is nothing more than the latin cantate expressed in arabic letters. the words with 202 on the worship of the which this cantate begins are written above the head of the figure, and are read by von hammer as fah la sidna, which is more correctly fella sidna, i. e. o god, our lord! the formula itself, to which this is an introduction, commences on the right side, and the first part of it read

to do everything in a form contrary to that in which it was usually done by christians. other dances were introduced, of a more violent, and some of them of an obscene, character. the songs, too, which were sung in this orgie were either obscene or vulgarly ridiculous. the music was often drawn from burlesque 212 on the worship of the instruments, such as a stick or a bone for a flute, a horse's skull for a lyre, the trunk of a tree for a drum, and a branch for a trumpet. as they became excited, they became more licentious, and at last they abandoned themselves to indiscriminate sexual intercourse, in which the demons played a very active part. the meeting separated in time to allow the witches, by the same expeditious conveyance which brought them, to reach their homes before the cock cr

being dissipated before they can mould it to their own will. they can and do step in and out if they wish to, but this involves some loss of power, so they avoid doing so as much as possible. people try to make me say that in the rites skulls and other repulsive things are used. i have never seen such things; but they tell me that in the old days sometimes, when the high priest was not present, a skull and crossbones was used to represent the god, death and resurrection (or reincarnation. nowadays the high priestess stands in a position representing the skull and crossbones, or death, and moves to another position, a pentacle, representing resurrection, during the rites. i expect the old village herbalist type of witch may have used skulls and bones and other things to impress people becau

, witches generally do not believe in them, which was at least 'unusual' at that date. at her initiation a witch is always received into the circle with a kiss on the mouth. templars received a similar kiss. but both were tortured to make them say it was elsewhere. another charge was that the templars worshipped a head, variously described as having sometimes three faces, sometimes simply a human skull or death's-head: that they believed that this head had the power to make them rich, cause the trees to flourish and the earth to become fruitful (we could call it a fertility cult) at initiations templar candidates were stripped nearly or entirely naked; they held their meetings and initiations secretly and by night, as witches do. my books of reference give the official charges made against

y 'in these girdles was their mahommerie' it has been said that this meant that they were secretly mohammedans; but to charge them with embracing mohammedanism would have been the most damning charge, and it was never even hinted at. in those times, a mammot was used to denote a doll or an idol and mahommerie would mean 'having to do with idols. they were said to have used these cords to bind the skull or head which they worshipped. to a witch this binding of a skull could have a meaning. that the templars attached some meaning to these cords seems clear. in the chronicle of cyprus we hear that a templar's servant removed? stole) his master's girdle. when the templar discovered this he immediately killed the servant with his sword. again, an outsider is said to have heard a knight instruct

not necessarily be attracted to the old faith, and so needed a certain 'frightening' to make them do certain acts, such as spitting on the cross. having done this, the novice might feel he was an outcast, and so be more amenable to obey the orders of the inner circle. this theory would explain that seemingly the greater number of the knights knew nothing of this practice, nor had seen the head or skull, but had heard that others had seen it elsewhere. or it is conceivably possible that during a very long ceremony certain things were done which would not be noticed if the novice's attention were not drawn to it. if the grand master stood for a minute or two with his arms crossed on his breast, who would notice it? but if you were told that in that position he represented the god of 'death a

ng that notice might be taken by the church as thinking they had no hope of salvation through christ, or rather, that it was possible to obtain a happy after-life and regeneration without his aid. if you were shown a head or death's head later, told it represented the same god and to do reverence to it, that might be termed adoration of an idol by the church. if another novice were shown the same skull and told it was simply an emblem of mortality or the head of a saint, the most orthodox churchman could not object. there is some evidence that these skulls existed. some were found, one in paris. there is a curious templar story of a skull that brought good luck or fertility. a noble lady of maraclea was loved by a templar, a lord of sidon; but she died and was buried. such was the force of

evidence that these skulls existed. some were found, one in paris. there is a curious templar story of a skull that brought good luck or fertility. a noble lady of maraclea was loved by a templar, a lord of sidon; but she died and was buried. such was the force of the knight's love that he dug up her body and violated it. when a voice told him to return in nine months' time he did so and found a skull on the leg bones of a skeleton (a skull and cross-bones. the same voice told him to 'guard it well, for it was the giver of all good things. it became his protecting genius, and he defeated all his enemies and gained great wealth. later it became the property of the order. and through it the order gained its great wealth and power. writers say that this would seem to be a garbled account of

he temple' and he was made to worship this head by kissing its feet and saying 'blessed be he who shall save my soul' cettus, a knight received at rome, gave a very similar account. a templar of florence said he was told 'adore this head; this head is your god and your mahomet' and said that he worshipped it by kissing its feet. there seems to have been no questions asked as to how you can kiss a skull's feet. can it perhaps be explained by some rite resembling the following witch practice: in the old days it was said that 'when the god was not present, he was represented by a skull and crossbones('death and what lies beyond, or 'paradise and regeneration. nowadays this is symbolised by the high priestess, standing with her arms crossed to represent the skull and crossbones. the worshipper

he high priestess she opens out her arms to the pentacle position. she then represents the goddess, or regeneration, signifying that the prayer is granted 'thus she has been both god and goddess, male and female, death and regeneration, one might say bi-sexual' now in payne knight's illustrations of baphomet, said to be the templar god, he is shown as both male and female or bisexual; sometimes a skull appears, sometimes the moon. whether there is really any good proof that these are the templar gods i cannot say. all this may be mere coincidence. no. 5 is the accusation of the templars wearing cords or girdles, with which they used to bind their skull-god. as we have seen, the church similarly accused witches of wearing cords or girdles which have a ritual meaning for them. for myself, i

n their return to europe, have been tempted to go among the only people with whom they might talk freely, people with whom they already had associations in their youth, and they may have attempted practices which, while sheer heresy to a witch, were founded on her methods. i think it may be far-fetched to suggest any connection between the templars' alleged practice of crossing their legs and the skull and bones, because many tombs of the period show knights with their legs crossed, including some who were not templars and who were never in the holy land. it could, of course, simply mean the cross, but would it not be more reverent to do this with the arms? the god mithra is very often shown with two attendants with torches, who usually have their legs crossed. this was very much a soldier
