s trust the sign of the unicorn which is the "fighting and triumphant creature" of the ancient myths. under the symbolism of the above creatures, this sign gives us a rather complete picture of man with his feet upon the earth, yet running free and climbing to the heights of worldly ambition or of spiritual aspiration in search of what he realises (at any particular time) to be his major need. as the goat, he is man, the earthly, human, greedy seeker after the satisfaction of desire, or man, the equally selfish aspirant hunting for the satisfaction of his aspiration. this sign portrays to us man, an ambitious animal in two senses of the word: in the early stage upon the mutable cross, man, the blend of desire (water) and the animal nature (earth, and upon the reversed wheel, man, the blend

is the "need for green" but the goat is equal also to climbing to the mountain top. this is the experience of the mutable cross in connection with these three signs. upon the fixed cross: 1. eventually the ram becomes the scapegoat and the will of god in love and salvage is demonstrated. 2. the bull becomes the bestower of light, and the darkness of the earlier cycle is lightened by the bull. 3. the goat becomes the unicorn, and leads to victory. the crocodile, the goat and the unicorn depict three stages of man's unfoldment. aries, taurus, and capricorn are the great transformers under the great creative plan. they are in the nature of catalysts. each of them opens a door into one of the three divine centres of expression which are the symbols in the body of the planetary logos of the th

ething which is higher than the human and, secondly, to the aspirant or the disciple. his focus of interest and his aim is soul life, yet he finds within himself that which seeks ever to draw him back to the old ways, the old habits and the old desires. this sign is sometimes called "the place of judgment" for it is here that the decision is made and the die is cast which separate the "sheep from the goats" or those constellations ruled by aries (the ram or lamb) and those ruled by capricorn, the goat. it really marks the distinction between the ordinary wheel of life and the reversed wheel. in the days before leo-virgo were divided into two signs, libra was literally the midway point. the situation was then as follows: aries. taurus. gemini. cancer. leo-virgo. libra scorpio. s agittarius

new age of cooperation and of right human relations or whether the materialistic groups will reassert their control and succeed in winning the day. this great cleavage is now in process of settlement. on the other hand, a deeply spiritual division is also taking place. in a peculiar sense, and speaking largely symbolically, the first phase of the great judgment is asserting itself. the sheep and the goats are forming into two distinct groups. the judgment being given is not the generally assumed one of assigning penalties or rewards; it is not the negation of all effort as the result of decisive moves, nor will it result in the emergence of major dividing lines. such interpretations are man-made and are not true interpretations of the parable or word picture which christ gave to his disci

n. it will in due time be found that the japanese people, with their peculiar knowledge of thought power (used along wrong lines in the war period, will respond more intelligently to this type of work than many of the western peoples. an effort should therefore be made to reach the japanese along the lines of the triangle work. i would like to point out that the distinction between the "sheep and the goats" is mainly hierarchical. the term "goats" is esoterically applied to initiated disciples and to those who have climbed the mountain of initiation. the term "sheep" is applied to those who are following blindly the inner urge of their souls and who are groping their way (in relatively large numbers) toward the hierarchy. for them still has to come the great revelation that the "kingdom of

being absorbed into the hierarchy. life will now for them simplify. for the "goats" must come the impelling call from the highest aspect of the spiritual triad "seek the way of ascension" ascension out of even triadal life into that of pure being and of monadic existence. in this great judgment all decision lies in the conclusive thinking of sanat kumara. it is his judgment; neither the sheep nor the goats, nor the great mass of men from among whom they have emerged, can affect that decision in the slightest degree. any moment or climax of decision on the part of the lord of the world institutes new law and brings into play new energies. laws are only the unalterable conditions brought about by the activity, the orientation and the emanated decisive thoughts of the one in whom we live and

ently from one extreme to the other in libra, and is subjected to the disciplining effect of the world of illusion and form in scorpio. in the final four signs, we have the signs of achievement. the aspirant has worked out of the world of glamor and of form, and in his consciousness is free from their limitations. now he can be the archer in sagittarius, going straight for his goal; now he can be the goat in capricorn, scaling the mount of initiation; now he can be the world worker in aquarius, and [83] the world savior in pisces. thus he can sum up in himself all the gains of the preparatory period and of the fiercely fought battles in the four signs of strenuous activity; and in these four final signs demonstrate the gains achieved and the powers developed. this brief summation of the si

of a magnetic center of attraction, are symbolically portrayed for us also in the masonic tradition. in kircher's egyptian planisphere, argo is represented by two galleys (as we have two sheepfolds, whose prows are surmounted by rams' heads, and the stern of one of them ends in a fish's tail. note, therefore, how we have here held pictorially in front of us the consummation in capricorn, wherein the goat scales the mountain top. we also have the portrayal of that greater cycle which includes the progress of the soul from cancer to capricorn, but which begins in aries, the ram, and ends in pisces, the fishes. a close analysis of the symbolism of the zodiacal signs deepens in one the strong conviction of the eternal picturing of truth and the constant holding before our eyes of the story of

not by some outside force that holds us there, but by what we ourselves have said and done. the moment we no longer set up wrong relations with people by the things we say that should not have been said, the moment we stop thinking things about people that we should not think, little by little those ties that hold us to planetary existence are severed, we are freed and we climb the mountain like the goat in capricorn. it has been asked "must we never make karma for ourselves or do anything that would tie us to any human being, because as long as we tie ourselves to any human being, we have got to go on reincarnating" well, i am going to tie myself to humanity by service, by love, by disinterested thought. that means something. but i am not going to tie myself by critical thought, self-pit

icorn, says the tibetan, is one of the most difficult signs about which to write and is the most mysterious of all the twelve. so we have found it. even the symbol of the sign has never been correctly drawn, we are told, because its correct delineation would produce an inflow of force that would be undesirable; also this symbol is sometimes called the signature of god. at the foot of the mountain the goat, the materialist, seeks for nourishment in arid places. the scapegoat on the way up finds the flowers of attained desire, each with its own thorn of satiety and disillusionment. at the top of the mountain the sacred goat sees the vision and the initiate appears. in other [172] writings the symbols are the goat, the crocodile and the unicorn. one myth puts the emphasis on the descent into

" peter, a rock or foundation, is the symbol of the physical body. james, the deceiver, symbolizes the emotional nature, the source of all glamor. john symbolizes the mind, the name meaning "the lord has spoken" there you have the symbolism of three aspects of the personality, on their faces before the glorified christ, in capricorn at his transfiguration. meanings of the sign this is the sign of the goat; it is a superhuman sign, a universal and impersonal sign. all the labors of hercules heretofore have been concerned with his own liberation. now we enter upon three signs that have no relation to his personal achievements. he is free. he is an initiate, a world disciple. he has passed round and round the zodiac, learned all the lessons of the signs and climbed the mountain of initiation;

ant was that the sign pisces, in which christ, the great world savior, came, would end at a particular date, and we are right in that time now. we are not facing a judgment day in which the sheep and goats will be divided and some go to heaven and others go to hell. many ridiculous interpretations have been put upon the symbolism of the bible. it has been thought that the sheep went to heaven and the goats went to hell. it is the other way round. the goat in capricorn is the initiate and from a certain esoteric angle the goats do go to heaven because they function in the spiritual kingdom which is heaven; the sheep remain on earth (which after all is the only hell one can possibly predicate) until they are no longer sheep, until they learn to have individual thought, become goats, climb th

DAVID ICKE RELATED THE HIDDEN GEARS OF FREEMASONRY

was a freemason, laid out governmental center of washington, d.c, he planned more than just streets, roads, and buildings. he hid certain occultic magical symbols in the layout of u.s. governmental center. when these symbols are united they become one large luciferic, or occultic, symbol. washington d.c. an untrained eye might not see the luciferic connection in this map. the upper four points of the goathead represent the four elements of the world, fire, water, earth, and air. the bottom fifth point represents the spirit of lucifer. all of which are represented in washington d.c (the united states capital) many people have natural tendencies to want to disbelieve unpleasant or frightening truths. occultists take advantage of this "audacity, always audacity, is a saying the masters of the

the symbols that were interwoven into the design of governmental center, communicate tremendous power to the occultist while at the same time they hide the true meaning from nonoccultist. these symbols take on a life of their own, in the mind of the occultist, possessing great inherent power to accomplish the plans of the occultist. according to occultic/satanic doctrine, the upper four points of the goathead(left) represent the four elements of the world, fire, water, earth, and air. the bottom fifth point represents the spirit of lucifer. in the above photocopy of the goathead pentagram, the fifth point extends down into the mind of the goat, who represents lucifer. with all that as background, let us now begin our study of governmental center, washington, d.c. the satanic symbol& the ma

masonic layout of washington d.c. in the street layout of washington d.c, the fifth point is the white house, a symbol placement which represents the intention that the spirit and the mind of lucifer will be permanently residing in the white house. the map i found isn't all that accurate as far as the streets are concerned, but it will have to do. the white house makes up the southern most tip of the goathead. lansat satellite image of the white house (below center) and surrounding northern area. in the map above, beginning from top left to top middle: 1. dupont circle, logan circle, and scott circle in the middle, form the top three points of the devil's goathead of mendes, one of the most important types of the five-pointed devil's pentagram. 2. washington circle forms the extreme left-h

les of the goathead, dupont circle, scott circle, and logan circle. each of these streets has six major streets coming into them from all angles of the circle. this type of encoding is so typical of the occultist. everything was deliberately planned to stamp the power of freemasonry and the symbols of its plans for america indelibly upon government center in washington d.c. the combination of the the goathead of mendes, devil's pentagram, and the practical existence of the number 666 within the three upper points of the pentagram, unmistakably shows that lucifer is planned to be the ultimate master of governmental center. dupont circle scott circle satellite photos came from microsoft's terraserver. now look for a moment at the circles which comprise the points of the pentagram. washington

, especially in spiritual terms, denoting spiritual light. but, the circle also is utilized as a symbol of the all-seeing eye. remember the all- seeing eye atop the pyramid on the american one-dollar bill? this eye is within a triangle, but the important factor to realize is that the eye is atop a pyramid. of course, a pyramid is nothing more than a triangle. look again at the triangles formed by the goathead pentagram. four out of five triangles of the goathead has a circle, representing the all-seeing eye atop each triangle. however, the architect had a problem with the triangle at the far right, because he chose the square as the anchor point; the solution is to place thomas circle at one of the points, thus giving that triangle an all-seeing eye. in fact, i believe this is the reason w

ad a problem with the triangle at the far right, because he chose the square as the anchor point; the solution is to place thomas circle at one of the points, thus giving that triangle an all-seeing eye. in fact, i believe this is the reason why thomas circle was placed in the odd position it was; it is the only circle which was not placed as an anchor of the pentagram. even the southern point of the goathead pentagram, the one which ends at the white house, has a circle at its top. notice the ellipse located just to the south of the white house lawn (below) north lansat image of the white house thus, the freemason architect who drew this pattern intended to show that governmental center was planned to be ruled by satan. further, the goathead pentagram was placed so the southernmost point

i did not arbitrarily draw these lines to center on the white house; rather, the white house is the precise point where the two lines formed by connecticut avenue flowing from dupont circle, and by vermont avenue flowing from logan circle, intersect. the meaning is all too clear. occultists planned for the white house to be controlled by lucifer in accordance with his occultic power and doctrine. the goathead.(for your reference) but, there is still more meaning expressed by this goathead pentagram. quickly look again at the photocopy of the devil's pentagram, as copied from goodman's magic symbol book. protruding from the middle top of the pentagram is a lighted candle, which is producing light. this physical light represents spiritual illumination. if this representation were made on a m

ng his own reign. in verses 13 and 14, lucifer vowed "i will ascend to heaven; i will exalt my throne above the stars of god; i will sit upon the mount of assembly in the uttermost north" did you see that north is apparently the direction in which god's throne is situated, and lucifer planned to take it over. north is the place, occultists believe, where governmental authority dwells. now look at the goathead pentagram again. scott circle is precisely located at the middle of the goathead, and 16th street proceeds directly north. as you look directly north on 16th street, you will immediately see the house of the temple, which is the north american headquarters of freemasonry. even the number 16 is significant to the occultist; it is 4x4 (remember that the four upper points of the goathead

ucted. number 16 literally means "felicity, which, according to my webster's dictionary, means blissful happiness or anything which will produce such a state. certainly, blissful happiness is the stated goal of any satanic system. a corollary meaning of 16 is love. the number 16 also pops up in an encoded manner. both dupont circle and logan circle, which form the top two most important points of the goathead pentagram, are located on "p" street "p" is the 16th letter of the english alphabet. sixteenth street emanates north from scott circle, which is itself the precise middle of the goathead pentagram. this street represents the candle of the photocopy. the illuminating light of the candle is represented by the house of the temple, which begins on "r" street. the architect is literally sa

much alive in freemasonry today. now, let us look at the symbol contained in the lower right hand portion of your washington, d.c, city street map. this combination of symbols runs south and east from the white house to the united states capitol. these are the symbols which clearly stamp freemasonry upon this city, and which unmistakably reveal that the brand of luciferic worship which we see in the goathead pentagram is the brand practiced by freemasonry. let us look at these freemasonry symbols. the three most sacred symbols of freemasonry are the compass, the square, and the rule or straight-edge. look at the united states capitol, and you will see that it is laid out in the form of a circle. this represents the top of a professional compass of that era, which was circular. pennsylvani

hen you draw a bold black line carefully around these cul-de-sacs, and continue the black line around the capitol, you get the appearance of a horned owl, with the cul-de-sacs as its ears. this is not accidental, either. this is another way of representing satan. freemasonry designed the layout of washington d.c. they placed the owl there and on the american one dollar bill. the southern point of the goathead pentagram represented the spirit of satan reaching into the mind of the goathead, the owl represents the same meaning. in other words, both the executive and the legislative branches of government are to be controlled by satan (ii corinthians 4. in commemoration of the 190th anniversary of the birth of george washington, 48 american flags representing the then 48 states of the union

rstanding of the lower-leg beauty contest is imperfect. baldr is a young and handsome god; njord is by this point in the mythological present an old man (a note on glower-leg h: the word used refers both to the foot and to the foot, ankle, and calf running up to the knee; since the word in question, fotr, is cognate with our word gfoot, h that is the translation one often sees) loki fs sport with the goat clearly plays on themes of castration, and making a goddess laugh may have associations with ritual. however, loki and skadi have a special relationship in any case. snorri in gylfaginning and the prose coda to lokasenna agree that when loki was bound, it was skadi who hung over his face the poisonous snake whose venom sigyn catches in a pot. when sigyn is out emptying the pot, the venom

ction of his edda, snorri sturluson used these and other sources to create a vivid picture of valholl. at the very onset of the piece, he reads a skaldic stanza in such a way as to suggest that valholl was thatched with shields of gold. later he says that the valkyries are to serve there, that the einherjar feast each day on the flesh of the boar sahrimnir and drink the mead provided endlessly by the goat heidrun each night after doing battle during the day. 308 norse mythology the tenth-century poems eiriksmal and hakonarmal have scenes set in valholl, where odin and the others await the arrival of the human kings eirik bloodax and hakon the good. valholl was therefore an important mythological conception as far back as our written records go. see also andhrimnir; eiriksmal; eldhrimnir; h

om the lot fell for g-d and make it a sin-offering. the goat on whom fell the lot for azazel will be positioned live before g-d to make atonement on it [and] to send it to azazel into the desert. h1 the plain meaning of azazel is a cliff; the goat sent to azazel was thrown of a desert cliff to its death.2 the mystical significance of azazel is samael3 and the nukva of the luminous [shell, to whom the goat is given. they [samael and the evil nukva, the male and female [principles of evil] are also called gthe depths of the sea h.what remains after the dross of the kings [of edom] are purified.and gthe shadow of death. h as we have seen previously, samael is the name given to the evil partzuf of z feir anpin. just as the partzufim exist in each of the four holy worlds, so do they exist in ea

t] they are happy. samael and nukva of the three lower worlds receive the evil binah of the level of atzilut. since [chochmah and binah of the evil z feir anpin of atzilut] are called ggoats h.as mentioned in the zohar10.z feir anpin and nukva of the luminous [shells] of beriah, yetzirah, and asiyah, their children, are called aza and azel. the word for goat is eiz (ayin-zayin. the gchildren h of the goats of atizlut are called aza (ayin-zayin-alef, a derivative, aramaic form of ggoat h and azel (ayin-zayin-alef-lamed, meaning ggoat-god. h together [these two goat-offspring] are called azazel, just like the words for gthe shadow of death h and gthe depths h comprise both of them, gshadow h referring to the male and gdeath h to the female. azazel can thus be seen as a contraction of aza and

of light is the active side of evil, the obstruction of holy light, and gdeath h is the result or expression of this evil, i.e, being cut off from holiness, the source of life. thus it is written, gthe feet [of a forbidden woman] descend unto death. h11 7 3:101. 8 see also zohar 2:178b, 3:60b. 9 on parashat metzora, 1st installment. 10 2:108b. the arizal on parashat acharei mot (2) 485 thus, when the goat is sent to azazel, g[g-d] casts all their sins into the depths of the sea, h12 as is stated in the zohar.13 this is so since azael and the gdepths of the sea h are mystically synonymous, as stated. since these goats derive from the holy nukva and her leftovers, they manifest strong judgment, as stated in the zohar.14 we have explained previously that nukva must evince strict judgment in o

truest punishment for evil behavior. as the sages say, gone mitzvah leads to another mitzvah, and one sin leads to another sin. h15 now, on yom kippur, g-d commanded us and permitted us through his good will to send samael one goat, which comprises good and bad [elements, as stated above [samael] then rejoices over the [additional power granted to the] three wholly evil shells, for [by receiving the goat] he has received the divine beneficence and life-force present in the goodness of that goat. as is known, the reason [the forces of evil] pursue holiness is so that they can enliven themselves; without [the life-force siphoned off holiness] they would die. hence the great joy samael derives from this goat sent to azazel, especially in light of the fact that [g-d] gives it to him knowingly

that goat. as is known, the reason [the forces of evil] pursue holiness is so that they can enliven themselves; without [the life-force siphoned off holiness] they would die. hence the great joy samael derives from this goat sent to azazel, especially in light of the fact that [g-d] gives it to him knowingly and [samael] does not have to toil or exert himself [for it [after casting the lots over the goats] the high priest would then confess [the sins of the jewish people] over the goat fs head. the power of this repentance would refine the portion of [the goat] associated with the world of yetzirah, separating the good [in it] from the evil. this is necessary for it is impossible for good and evil to be intermixed as they were before the sin, for through sin the power of evil increased, a

has lost his innocence, he fortifies his commitment to and consciousness of good, and although no longer innocent, he is now immune to the egomaniacal machinations of sensual cake-lust. he is older, but wiser. this is the meaning of repentance [evil and good] are separated through this. although they existed originally together in the luminous shell, the evil has now been identified; it clings to the goat and disappears into the [realms of] complete evil. the good, meanwhile, returns to [the realm of] supernal holiness, no longer part of the luminous shell. this is why samael rejoices. he sees that he has now been fortified [by this additional measure of energy from the luminous shell, and he accepts it with full consciousness. but he is a fool and makes a [fatal] mistake, for on the contr

ade flesh; and, according to the direction of its points, this absolute magical symbol represents order or confusion, the divine lamb of ormuz and st. john, or the accursed goat of mendes. it is initiation or profanation; it is lucifer or vesper, the star of morning or evening. it is mary or lilith, victory or death, day or night. the pentagram with two points in the ascendant represents satan as the goat of the sabbath; when one point is in the ascendant, it is the sign of the saviour. the pentagram is the figure of the human body, having the four limbs and a single point representing the head. a human figure head downwards naturally represents a demon that is, intellectual subversion, disorder or madness. now, if magic be a reality, if occult science be really the true law of the three w

us affirm without evasion that the great magical agent. the double current of light, the living and astral fire of the earth. was represented by the serpent with the head of an ox, goat or dog, in ancient theogonies. it is the dual serpent of the caduceus, the old serpent of genesis, but it is also the brazen serpent of moses, twined about the tau, that is, the generating lingam. it is, moreover, the goat of the sabbath and the baphomet of the templars; it is the hyle of the gnostics; it is the double tail of the serpent which forms the legs of the solar cock of abraxas. in fine, it is the devil of m. eudes de mirville and is really that blind force which souls must overcome if they would be freed from the chains of earth; for, unless their will can detach them from this fatal attraction

ho are acquainted with the phases of symbolism and doctrine in their various transformations, whether in india, egypt or judea. the bull, the dog and the goat are the three symbolical animals of hermetic magic, resuming all the traditions of egypt and india. the bull represents the earth or salt of the philosophers; the dog is hermanubis, the mercury of the sages. otherwise, fluid, air and water; the goat represents fire and is at the same time the symbol of generation. two goats, one pure and one impure, were consecrated in judea; the first was sacrificed in expiation for sins; the other, loaded with those sins by imprecation, was set at liberty in the desert. a strange ordinance, but one 82 the ritual of transcendental magic of deep symbolism, signifying reconciliation by sacrifice and e

all things which the lord commanded by the hand of moses. 9:1 and it came to pass on the eighth day [that] moses called aaron and his sons, and the elders of israel; 9:2 and he said unto aaron, take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer [them] before the lord. 9:3 and unto the children of israel thou shalt speak, saying, take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb [both] of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering; 9:4 also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the lord; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the lord will appear unto you. 9:5 and they brought [that] which moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew

lew the burnt offering; and aaron s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar. 9:13 and they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt [them] upon the altar. 9:14 and he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt [them] upon the burnt offering on the altar. 9:15 and he brought the people s offering, and took the goat, which [was] the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first. 9:16 and he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner. 9:17 and he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt [it] upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. 9:18 he slew also the bullock and the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace off

TWO ESSAYS ON THE WORSHIP OF PRIAPUS

translators understand the expression metaphorically, and suppose it to mean radiated, or luminous. of priapus 23 but the peculiar direction of it to the most beneficial purpose, the propagation of sensitive beings. of this there is a small bronze in the museum of mr. townley, of which an engraving is given in plate iii. fig. 2.1 sometimes this generative attribute is represented by the symbol of the goat, supposed to be the most salacious of animals, and therefore adopted upon the same principles as the bull and the serpent.2 the choral odes, sung in honour of the generator bacchus, were hence called tragwdiai, or songs of the goat; a title which is now applied to the dramatic dialogues anciently inserted in these odes, to break their uniformity. on a medal, struck in honour of augustus

sculpture in this way have escaped the fury of the reformers, and remained for the instruction of later times. one of these, found among the ruins of herculaneum, and kept concealed in the royal museum of portici, is well known. another exists in the collection of mr. townley, which i have thought proper to have engraved for the benefit of the learned.2 it may be remarked, that in these monuments the goat is passive instead of active; and that the human symbol is represented as incarnate with the divine, instead of the divine with the human: but this is in fact no difference; for the creator, being of both sexes, is represented indifferently of either. in the other symbol of the bull, the sex is equally varied; the greek medals having sometimes a bull, and sometimes a cow,3 which, strabo t

nd general character of the animal, blended with it.2 oftentimes, however, these mixed figures had a peculiar and proper meaning, like that of the vatican bronze; and were not intended as mere refinements of art. such are the fawns and satyrs, who represent the emanations of the creator, incarnate with man, acting as his angels and ministers in the work of universal generation. in copulation with the goat, they represent the reciprocal incarnation of man with the deity, when incorporated with universal matter: for deity, being both male and female, was both act and passive in procreation; first animat-ing man by an emanation from his own essence, and then employing that emanation to reproduce, in conjunction with the common pro-ductive powers of nature, which are no other than his own prol

rs from their medals.3 the case is, that pan, or ammon, being the universe, and jupiter a title of the supreme god (as will be shown hereafter, the horns, the emblems of his power, seemed the properest symbols of that supreme and universal dominion to which they all, as well as alexander, had the ambition to aspire. the figure of ammon was compounded of the forms of the ram, as that of pan was of the goat; the reason of which is difficult to ascertain, unless we suppose confirm and illustrate the discoveries of that great and good man. see de veritate relig. christ. lib. iv, c. 12. 1 ver. 708. 2 de is. et osir. 3 see plate iv, fig 4, engraved from one of lysimachus, of exquisite beauty, beloning to me. antigonus put the head of pan upon his coins, which are not uncommon. of priapus 39 that

s of aristotle, to which i cannot at present refer, that every act of coition produced a transient chill in the brain, by which some of the roots of the hair were loosened; so that baldness was a mark of sterility acquired by excessive exertion. the figures of pan have nearly the same forms with that which i have here supposed to represent inert matter; only that they are compounded with those of the goat, the symbol of the creative power, by which matter was fructified and regulated. to this is sometimes added the organ of generation, of an enormous magnitude, to signify the application of this power to its noblest end, the procreation of sensitive and rational beings. this composition forms the common priapus of the roman poets, who was worshipped among the other personages of the heathe

ion; whereas in the latter the features are all dilated and fallen, the chin reposed on the breast, and the whole figure expressive of languor and fatigue. if the explanation which i have given of these androgynous figures be the true one, the fauns and satyrs, which usually accompany them, must represent abstract emanations, and not incarnations of the creative spirit, as when in copulation with the goat. the creator himself is frequently represented in a human form; and it is natural that his emanations should partake of the same, though without having any thing really human in their composition. it seems, however, to have been the opinion in some parts of asia, that the creator was really of a human form. the jewish legislator says expressly, that god made man in his own image, and, pri

nified, and therefore is said to have received her nymphs or productive ministers from the ocean, the source of fecundity.4 the lion, therefore, in the former instance, appears as a symbol of the sun exhaling the waters; and in the latter, as whithering and putrifying the produce of the earth. on the frieze of the temple of apollo didym us, near miletus, are monsters composed of the mixt forms of the goat and lion, resting their fore feet upon the lyre of the god, which stands between them.5 the goat, as i have already shown, represented the creative attribute, and the lyre, harmony and order; therefore, if we admit that the lion represented the destroying attribute, this composition will signify, in the symbolical language of sculpture, the harmony and order of the universe preserved by t

cession. this contention between the powers of creation and destruction is represented on an ancient medal of acanthus, in the museum of the late dr. hunter, by a combat between the bull and lion.1 the bull alone is represented on other medals in exactly the same attitude and gesture as when fighting with the lion;2 whence i conclude that the lion is there understood. on the medals of celenderis, the goat appears instead of the bull in exactly the same attitude of struggle and contention, but without the lion;3 and in a curious one of very ancient but excellent workmanship, belonging to me, the ivy of bacchus is placed over the back of the goat, to denote the power which he represents.4 the mutual operation which was the result of this contention was signified, in the mythological tales of

t with still rising generations of sensitive beings. the chim ra of homer, of which the commentators have given so many whimsical interpretations, was a symbol of the same kind, which the poet probably, having seen in asia, and not knowing its meaning (which was only revealed to the initiated) supposed to be a monster that had once infested the country. he describes it as composed of the forms of the goat, the lion, and the serpent, and breathing fire from its mouth.3 these are the symbols of the creator, the destroyer, and the preserver, united and animated by fire, the divine essence of all three.4 on a gem, published in the memoirs of the academy of cortona,5 this union of the destroying and preserving attributes is 1 plate iv, fig. 5, from a medal of agathocles, belonging to me. the sa

actly the same as that of the very ancient greek coins of acanthus, celendaris, and lesbos; the lines being very strongly marked, and the hair expressed by round knobs. the wings likewise of the figure, which resembles the jewish cherubim, are the same as those upon several greek sculptures now extant; such as the little images of priapus attached to the ancient bracelets, the compound figures of the goat and lion 1 see plate xviii. fig. 1 from the isiac table, and plate xix. fig 5 from niebuhr's prints of chilminar. see also plate xviii. fig. 2 and plate xix. fig. 1 from the isiac tables and the egyptian portals published by norden and pococke, on every one of which this singular emblem occurs. 88 on the worship upon the frieze of the temple of apollo didym us &c &c.1 they are likewise jo

otaries, and indulging themselves in the pleasures over which she presided.3 it appears, too, that the act of generation was a sort of sacrament in the island of lesbos; for the device on its medals (which in the greek republics had always some relation to religion) is as explicit as forms can make it.4 the figures appear indeed to be mystic and allegorical, the male having evidently a mixture of the goat in his beard and features, and therefore probably represents pan, the generative power of the universe incorporated in universal matter. the female has all that breadth and fulness which characterise the personification of the passive power, known by the titles of rhea, juno, ceres &e. when there were such seminaries for female education as those of eryx and corinth, we need not wonder th

tel of one of the vomitories, or issues, of the second range of seats of the roman amphitheatre, near the entrance-gate which looks to the south. the double and the triple phallus are very common among the small roman bronzes, which appear to have served as amulets and for other similar purposes. in the latter, one phallus usually serves as the body, and is furnished with legs, generally those of the goat; a second occupies the usual place of this organ; and a third appears in that of a tail. on a pilaster of the amphitheatre of n mes we see a triple phallus of this description, 2 with goat s legs and feet. a small bell is suspended to the smaller phallus in front; and the larger organ which forms the body is furnished with wings. the picture is completed by the introduction of three birds
