3. View this material gradually.
This information is meant to be
viewed in sequence.
5. Hypothesis:
An ancient pagan religious system has
been successfully inserted into nearly
every human institution, including the
Christian church.
6. This system is based on an ancient
Babylonian Mystery cult. A religion that
embraced the worship of a pagan trinity
(Nimrod, Semiramis, & Tammuz).
7. After the Lord God confused the
people’s languages at the Tower of
Babel, mankind spread to all parts of
the earth, taking with them variations of
this Babylonian system. Mystery
religions were quite common
throughout the ancient world.
8. Mystery religions, by their very nature,
were designed to propagate two different
doctrines: 1) the Public (exoteric)
teachings were intended for the laity.
The common worshipers were thought to
be the Uninitiated or Profane and were
considered unworthy or unable to handle
the deeper mysteries.
9. 2) The True Teachings (esoteric) were
intended for a small inner circle of
Initiates. These people were the Priest
Class or the Illuminated who received
and protected the true doctrine.
10. The Mystery religions later gave birth to
another, more intellectually based or
‘reasoned’ form of Mystery cult called
Gnosticism.
11. Gnosticism was a religious system
which competed with, and even
attempted to merge with, the early
Christian church. Gnosticism, like the
older Mystery religions, is based on a
system of protected teachings in which
only the Initiated or Adepts are privy.
This sacred knowledge eventually
teaches the Initiate that man is actually
a god or part of a greater godhead
collective.
12. Within both the Mystery religions and
Gnostic sects, gradually revealed
gnosis (knowledge) would be
dispensed in the form of allegorical
tales. This type of teaching serves the
purpose of weeding out the
Undeserved from receiving sacred
knowledge.
13. Within both the Mysteries and
Gnosticism, lying is not considered to
be a moral dilemma. On the contrary,
deceiving the Profane is considered a
valuable and necessary tool. It is the
primary method of protecting sacred
gnosis.
14. The Mystery religions (and the Gnostics
in particular) valued the Old Testament.
However, they interpreted scripture
much more allegorically and not literally.
Of course, by doing so, it enabled them
to create almost any justification for their
teachings. Cults and Satanists today
operate in much the same way.
They value the Bible, but only as an
esoteric tool.
15. Revelation 17:5
And on her forehead a name
was written:
Mystery Babylon the Great,
The Mother of Harlots and of
the Abominations of the Earth.
20. Most are well aware of the ‘pyramid and capstone’
connection with Masonry. This design on the U.S.
dollar bill was implemented by 32nd
Degree
Freemason, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

28. • “…Seven hours before
his death, addressing his
traveling companion,
Brother Menta Sturgeon,
he said, “Make me a
Roman toga.” Using the
bed sheets, Brother
Sturgeon made a toga,
which Brother Russell put
on himself.” Joseph
Rutherford’s eulogy of
C.T. Russell
29. Menta Sturgeon (describing C.T. Russell’s last hours)
Zion’s Watch Tower,
December 1, 1916
“It was then that he stood again and said,
‘Please make me a Roman toga.’ I did not
understand what he meant… I said, ‘Brother
Russell, I do not understand what you mean.’ He
said, ‘I will show you’.’’ [ The rest of the
testimony goes on to describe the way in which a
white bed sheet was prepared and folded by
Sturgeon using Russell’s specific criteria]
30. Albert Mackey, 33rd
Degree FM,
Mackey’s Encyclopedia of
Freemasonry
“…he who sought office wore a
white shining robe… From the
color of his robe or toga candida,
he was called candidatus,
whence the word candidate.
The derivation will serve to
remind the Freemason of the
purity of conduct and
character.”

37. Egyptian winged solar disk (Uraeus).
Symbol of the Egyptian sun god Ra,

Talisman, page 357
“…very similar pseudo-Egyptian temple at Freemason’s
Hall in Philadelphia, USA, on the floor of which can be
seen the winged-uraeus or solar-serpent, the supreme
symbol of ancient Egypt. Many other Royal Arch
Chapters around the world are likewise designed or
partly designed as Egyptian temples…”
39. Winged solar disk shown above Annubis (Egyptian
god of the dead). He is a form of Osiris.
42. A book that is commonly used
by the Watch Tower;
Knowledge That Leads to
Eternal Life.
You will discover during this
presentation that Freemasonry
believes itself to be part of a
continuing stream of ancient
wisdom.
A major part of which, are the
doctrines of the early Gnostics.
Mankind achieves salvation
via divine knowledge (gnosis).
43. • “Many Masons shake hands with
me and give me what I know is
their grip; they don’t know me
from a Mason. Something I do
seems to be the same as
Masons do, I don’t know what it
is; but they often give me all
kinds of grips and I give them
back, then I tell them I don’t
know anything about it except
just a few grips that have come
to me naturally.” (June, 1913;
convention discourse ‘The
Temple of God’, Convention
Report Sermons, p.362
***Note: this quote was found
on a website attempting to
prove C.T. Russell was not a
Freemason.***
44. Russell admits to receiving
and returning Masonic grips.
Think about Russell’s
explanation for giving
Masonic handshakes.
Does this sound like a
reasonable explanation,
or an absurd excuse being
used by a Mason who has
been found out.
45. Does it seem reasonable to you that
Charles Taze Russell might have been a
Freemason?
But, why would Russell try to keep his
Masonic membership secret?
Perhaps one of world’s foremost
authorities on Freemasonry can assist.

Degree Freemason,

Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry,

“Masonry, like all Religions, all
the Mysteries, Hermeticism, and
Alchemy, conceals its secrets
from all except the Adepts and
Sages, or the Elect, and uses
false explanations and
misinterpretations of its symbols
to mislead those who deserve
only to be misled; to conceal the
Truth…”
47. Webster’s Colligate Dictionary,
10th Edition, 1996
Esoteric- a: designed for or understood
by the specially initiated alone.
b: of or relating to knowledge that is
restricted to a small group.
62. “In 1921, on the 100th
anniversary of Eddy’s birth, a 100-
ton, eleven-foot granite pyramid was dedicated on the site
of her birthplace in Bow, New Hampshire. A gift from the
Freemasons…” New World Encyclopedia
63. “...a granite pyramid was
dedicated, a gift from the
Masons, the only other
religious society members
are permitted to join.”

“ In the case of the Gnostic religion the reader will
recall from Part 1 that the return to the heavenly
realm could not be achieved by blind faith but was to
be striven for through gnosis– ‘revealed knowledge’
of the reality of things…the ‘divine part’ of man
consists of ‘mind, intellect, spirit, and reason’… The
individual’s quest for gnosis, in both its Hermetic
and purely Gnostic forms, involved putting off the
material world and its illusions.”
65. Ron Rhodes,
Handbook on Cults and New Religions:
Christian Science, page 59
“Sin, sickness, and death are allegedly illusions
that people can conquer by correct thinking….
The rationale behind the ‘illusion’ explanation is that
all things in the universe are ultimately God.”
66. Ron Rhodes,
Handbook on Cults and New Religions:
Christian Science, page 59
“Christian Science proponents accept the Bible,
but they interpret it esoterically, seeking hidden or
secondary meanings… The best way to ascertain
such hidden meaning is to utilize Eddy’s Science
and Health with Key to the Scriptures as a guide.
This guide provides the metaphysical meanings
that lie behind the literal text of Scripture, enabling
one to understand its mysteries.
67. Ron Rhodes,
Handbook on Cults and New
Religions: Christian Science,
page 59-60
“Eddy believes that all things in the
universe are God (pantheism) …
A natural outgrowth of the idea that
all is God, is that humanity is also
God.”
68. J.D. Buck, 33rd
Degree Freemason,
The Kentucky Monitor,
page XX
“The three really great rituals of the
human race are the Prajapati ritual of
ancient Hinduism, the Mass of the
Christian Church, and the Third Degree
of Masonry. Widely as they a differ in
detail, and far apart as they may seem
to be in externals, yet together they
testify to the profoundest insight of the
human soul: that God becomes man
that man may become God!”
69. “ This group [ Christian Science ] was founded
by Mary Baker Eddy… Helena P. Blavatsky
[ 32nd
Degree FM ] was a associate of Mary
Baker Eddy… Eddy herself married a Mason
and this was the only secret society which she
allowed other members to join. She even had
some of her material published in the
Freemason’s Monthly Magazine... Even the
presidents of the Mother Church in 1922-24
were Masons. ”
Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated,
Dr. Cathy Burns, page 352
70. Now we have a reasonable
explanation as to why the
Freemasons think so highly
of Mrs. Eddy, and why they
would honor her memory
with this pyramid.
71. Genesis Ch. 3:3-5
But the fruit of the tree which is in the midst
of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
shall not surely die: for God doth know that
in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil.
72. What did the Gnostics teach, in
regards to the Garden of Eden
story?
73. Talisman,
Graham Hancock & Robert Bauval,
Harper-Collins Pub., 2004, page 92
“…the account given in the Nag Hammadi texts [Gnostic texts] of the
‘temptation’ of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden depicts the serpent
not as the villain of the piece, as the Old Testament Book of Genesis
portrays him, but rather as the hero and true benefactor of mankind:
‘What did God say to you?’ the Serpent asked Eve. ‘Was it, Do not
eat from the tree of knowledge [gnosis] ?’ She replied: He said, Not
only do not eat from it, but do not touch it lest you die.’ The Serpent
reassured her, saying, ‘Do not be afraid. With death you shall not
die; for it was out of jealousy that he said this to you. Rather your
eyes shall open and you shall come to be like gods, recognizing evil
and good.’…
74. Talisman,
Graham Hancock & Robert Bauval,
Harper-Collins Pub., 2004, page 92
“After Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of knowledge, the Gnostics
taught that they experienced enlightenment, awoke to their own luminous
nature and could distinguish good from evil, just as the serpent had
promised. Seeing their intellectual and spiritual transformation, the
demiurge [Jehovah] was jealous and roused his demonic companions:
‘Behold, Adam! He has come to be like one of us, so that he knows
the difference between the light and the darkness. Now perhaps he
also will come to the tree of life and eat from it and become
immortal. Come let us expel him from Paradise down to the land
from which he was taken, so that henceforth he might not be able to
recognize anything better. And so they expelled Adam from
Paradise, along with his wife.’”

“Tuesday, 15– I officiated as grand
chaplain at the installation of the
Nauvoo Lodge of Free Masons, at
the Grove near the Temple… In the
evening I received the first degree
in Freemasonry in the Nauvoo
Lodge, assembled in my general
business office.”
78. “Wednesday, March 16– I was
with the Masonic Lodge and rose
to the sublime degree.”
[Smith reached the sublime
degree in less than 24 hours]
79. The Doctrine of the Law
(LDS central axiom)
“As Man is, God was, and as God is,
Man may become.”
Think about this teaching.
“…as God is, Man may become.”
80. Joseph Smith, 33rd
Degree FM,
History of the Church, Vol.6, page 306
“Here then is eternal life… to know the
only wise and true God; and you have
got to learn how to be Gods yourself,
and to be kings and priests to God, the
same as all gods have done before
you… To inherit the same power, the
same glory and the same exaltation,
until you arrive at the station of God.”

93. There is no question that the LDS church
deliberately associates itself with Freemasonry.

“Its legend [ 14th
degree initiation]
Says that the real name of God
was lost, till it was found by
Masons, engraved on a three-
cornered gold plate, in ‘the ruins
of Enoch.’ Whether the Mormon
Jo. Smith, who was a Mason,
took his story of gold plates from
this on, or invented a like legend
of his own, the two are similar in
origin, nature and effect. They
both utterly destroy Christianity ,
while pretending to favor and
expand it.”
109. Milton R. Hunter (LDS Elder),
The Gospel Through the Ages,
page 15
“The appointment of Jesus to be
the Savior of the world was
contested by one of the other sons
of God. He was called Lucifer…
this spirit brother of Jesus
desperately tried to become the
Savior of mankind.”
*** Notice that the Watchtower Society teaches
the same thing… Jesus is actually an angel and
therefore, Lucifer would be His brother. ***
110. The quote you just read,
from LDS elder-Milton R.
Hunter, is a teaching from
the early Gnostics.
They taught that the Serpent
(Lucifer) was sent by the
God of Light to inform Adam
and Eve that they were
really gods.
The Serpent sacrificed
himself for man.
111. Masonic logo with twin pillars of Freemasonry

Note: Twin pillars with globes on top.
See how the globe on the left
represents the world that mortals
inhabit. The globe on the right
represents the spirit realm were the
gods reside.
This is a dualistic view of the Cosmos.
Very common in Gnosticism.
120. Twin pillars. Notice again, the globe on the left
represents the material world. The globe on the
right represents the spirit world.
121. Twin pillars from a Masonic website.

“ I was amazed at how well the occult
symbolism had been carried through on
the stitched marks: the temple
garment was a textbook study in
Luciferian symbolism. I was well
acquainted with Masonic symbols
because at a certain point in my Wiccan
development, my teacher told me to
seek Masonic initiation, so I did…
Here I learned the profound links
between Lucifer-worship, Wicca and
Masonry.”

“God was once a man like us and
dwelt on earth, the same as Jesus
Christ did, and you have got to
learn to be gods yourselves the
same as all gods before you.
Namely by going from one small
degree to another, from a small
capacity to a greater one.”

Osiris- The Egyptian god
of the sun. He was
worshipped under the
form of an ox.
140. LDS baptismal.
Because Mormonism is an extension of
Freemasonry, it is no surprise that the baptismal is
designed after the mystery cult of Osiris.
141. Remember the LDS Salvation Chart?
Notice that the most sought after goal, regarding the afterlife,
is to achieve the ‘Celestial Kingdom’ which is represented by
the sun. This explains the continuing Egyptian-Masonic
allusions. All of this is centered on pagan sun worship.
142. Ron Rhodes,

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
page 69
“ Mormons define ‘sin’ as a wrong
judgment, a mistake, an imperfection, or
an inadequacy.”
*** Notice, once again, man’s problem is not that he
is rebellious. Instead, man is ignorant and does not
possess the correct gnosis. When man gains divine
knowledge, he then becomes a god.
This is Gnosticism.***
143. Pause and consider what you
are seeing. This is not just a
case of a few cult leaders who
just happen to have been
Freemasons.
144. They have deliberately brought
Masonic imagery into their
respective religions.
Therefore, it should not come as
any surprise that their respective
doctrines are also Masonic.
150. Edith Starr Miller ( Lady Queensborough )
Occult Theocracy, Vol. 2, page 566
“ …as for Mme Blavatsky, the Christs
are beings who have succeeded in
developing in themselves certain
superior powers latent in all men …its
consequences are that anyone who
makes enough fuss about himself can
become a god, thus reducing the idea
ad absurdum. This principle which
when further elaborated leads to the
usual Gnostic belief that Man is God. ”

“The Masonic Organization is the
custodian of the law; it is the home of
the Mysteries and the seat of
initiation… Masonry is a far more occult
organization that can be realized, and
is intended to be the training school
for the coming advanced occultists.”

“…Today we are at the threshold of a new

into a New Age using, however, the
insight and wisdom of the ancient

“Wiccans use the term ‘Wicca’ to denote a
mystery religion involving a process of
initiation and rigorous training within a
cosmos polarized between male and female
forces, all of which is an inheritance from
the magical secret societies from which
Wicca is descended.”
177. Wicca considers itself a
“mystery religion”.

the “magical secret society” from
which this “mystery religion”
originated?

“ It is generally agreed that the biggest single
influence in the modern expansion of ritual magic,
and the occult explosion in general, in the Western
world, was the Golden Dawn. This magical
fraternity, founded by Freemasons at the end of
the 19th
century, developed a complex ritual system

237. Original logo of Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society.
The swastika originates in Persia. It is a sun symbol used in the
ancient Aryan religion, Zoroastrianism. The Nazi Party played on this
image and its history. Adolf Hitler was a devotee of Blavatsky.
238. Masonic pin. Aryanism and Masonry both
use the swastika; because they both subscribe to an
ancient Aryan philosophy.
259. Eliphas Levi; 33rd
Degree Freemason;
and creator of Baphomet.
Note: this is a dualistic diagram meant to emphasize the differences between the
spirit world and the world of matter (Gnosticism). It is a type of yin-yang symbol.
260. Aleister Crowley in Masonic regalia next to
Baphomet. Notice the wall behind Crowley has the symbol
and name of Baphomet. Also notice the letters O.T.O. which
stand for ‘Ordo Templi Orientis’ (Satanic organization).
261. Aleister Crowley tarot deck.
Notice the serpent is shaped in the infinity symbol and has tail in
mouth; also notice the dualistic yin-yang.

Degree does actually rise as
Christ…”

Degree Freemason,
The Book of Black Magic, page 244
“First Conjuration Address to Emperor
Lucifer. Emperor Lucifer, Master and
Prince of Rebellious Spirits, I adjure
thee to leave thine abode, in what-ever
quarter of the world it may be situated
and come hither to communicate with
me. I command and I conjure thee in
the Name of the Mighty Living God,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, to appear
without noise and without…”
270. Interview with Hubbard’s son,
L. Ron Hubbard Jr.,
Penthouse Magazine, June 1983
Hubbard: “…The Antichrist.
Alestair Crowley thought of
himself as such. And when
Crowley died in 1947, my
father then decided that he
should wear the cloak of the
beast and become the most
powerful being in the universe.”
272. Interview with L. Ron Hubbard’s son,
L. Ron Hubbard Jr.,
Penthouse Magazine, June 1983
Penthouse: “You were sixteen years old
at that time. What did you believe in?
Hubbard: “ I believed in Satanism.
There was no other religion in the house!
Scientology and black magic. What a lot
of people don’t realize is that Scientology
is black magic that is just spread out over
a long time period… Black magic is the
inner core of Scientology.”
273. L. Ron Hubbard was a member
of the Rosicrucian Order.
Hubbard was also a member of
Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.),
a Satanic organization
founded by Freemasons.
O.T.O. later came under the
leadership of Aleister Crowley.
274. This is a Rosicrucian
Cross.
It is covered with
numerous occult
symbols.
Notice the 3-scalloped
edges located at the
four ends of the cross.
275. The cross on the left, is a Rosicrucian Cross.
The cross on the right, is the cross of
Scientology.
276. What would be the odds of
L. Ron Hubbard having been
a Freemason?
277. Scientology’s celebration of the anniversary of
L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday.
Notice the two pillars in the middle with balls on top.
278. Book by L. Ron Hubbard;
Note: the letter ‘O’ with the dot in the middle is a stylize zodiac
sun symbol.
279. Have you noticed that the Sun seems to be a
reoccurring theme amongst all of these occultists?
It represents illumination, wisdom, enlightenment,
gnosis…. Knowledge into the Mysteries.
280. Tom Cruise is an active proponent
of Scientology.
Scientology, like all Masonic
off-shoots, operates on the principle
of gradually revealed information
(gnosis).
All of these cults package
themselves differently. But the true
Esoteric teachings are always the
same.
Knowledge = Godhood.
281. Hosea Ballou,
founder of the Universalist Church,
He was a Freemason.
The Universalist Church later
merged with the Unitarian Chruch.
282. Sir Oliver Lodge;
Spiritualist (Necromancer) and
Freemason.
Notice the logo of the
‘First Spiritual Temple’ which
associates itself with Lodge.
( Circle within the Triangle )
These Masonic off-shoots seem
compelled to carry their esoteric
symbols with them into their
newly created cults.
283. Charles Fillmore, Founder of
Unity Church.
33rd
Degree Freemason
It does not take long to
discover that the Unity
School of thought is nothing
more than New Age trying to
package itself as Christian.
Fillmore was a friend of
Mary Baker Eddy.
284. Interesting book from
the Charles Filmore
Reference Library.
Notice the winged
Uraeus at the bottom.
Egyptian symbols are
important to these
people because ancient
Egypt was a hotbed of
occult wisdom.
286. William Penn;
The Society of Friends
(a.k.a. Quakers)
William Penn was a
Rosicrucian.
The first American
Rosicrucian colony was
established in Philadelphia,
Penn.
288. There are only 2 explanations
for almost every major cult in
the past 250 years being
founded by high level
Freemasons.
289. The First possibility: A chance
coincidence. The odds of
which would almost be
incalculable.
290. The Second possibility:
this was done deliberately
and these cults are actually
market niches designed to
spread Masonry’s true and
hidden religion.
291. If this second possibility seems
plausible, then it is fair to ask a few
questions:
What is this secret religion?
What spheres of influence has this
secret religion penetrated?
Where did this religion originate?
293. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree,
Morals and Dogma,
page 213
“Every Masonic Lodge
is a temple of religion;
and its teachings are
instruction in religion.”
294. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree,
Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry, page 819
“The Blue Degrees are but the
outer court or the portico of the
Temple. Part of the symbols are
displayed there to the Initiate,
but he is intentionally misled by
false interpretations. It is not
intended that he shall
understand them; but it is
intended that he shall imagine
he understands them. Their true
explication is reserved for the
Adepts, the Princes of Masonry.”
295. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree F.M.,
Morals and Dogma, page 104
“Masonry, like all the Religions, all the
Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy,
conceals its secrets from all except
the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect,
and uses false explanations and
misinterpretations of its symbols to
mislead those who deserve only to be
misled; to conceal the Truth, which it
calls Light.”
296. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree F.M.,
Morals and Dogma,
page 103
“The truth must be kept
secret and the masses
need a teaching
proportioned to their
imperfect reason.”
297. We are firmly establishing that Freemasonry
does not consider lying and deception to be a
moral dilemma. In fact, they consider
deception to be an imperative. This is because
Freemasonry believes itself to be the modern-
day representation of the ancient pagan
Mystery Religions (specifically Babylonian).
These mystery cults had a Priest Class of
inner-circle Initiates who were privy to the true
religious doctrines. But the common
worshipper (Uninitiated or Profane) were given
the false and exoteric teachings.
298. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree Freemason,
Morals and Dogma, page 817
The Templars, like all other Secret
Orders and Associations, had two
doctrines, one concealed and reserved
for the Masters, which was Johannism;
the other public, which was the Roman
Catholic. Thus they deceived their
adversaries whom they sought to
supplant.”
299. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree F.M.,
Morals and Dogma, page 103
“A Spirit… that loves wisdom
and contemplates the Truth
close at hand, is forced to
disguise it, to induce the
multitudes to accept it… Fictions
are necessary to the people,
and the Truth becomes deadly
to those who are not strong
enough to contemplate it in all
its brilliance.”
300. Is there a connection with Albert Pike’s
book, Morals and Dogma, and the
pagan Mystery religions?
Is there a connection with Gnosticism?
301. Remember, a copy of Morals and
Dogma is given to every Freemason
reaching the 32nd
Degree.
Admittedly, that does not mean that
every 32nd
Degree Freemason will read
the book, much less understand it.
302. However, this is not the issue.
The point is, someone does understand
the contents of Morals and Dogma.
And they want to spread the teachings.
303. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree,
Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry,

“Lucifer the Light-bearer!
Strange and mysterious
name to give to the Spirit of
Darkness! Lucifer the Son
of the Morning! Is it he who
bears the Light, and with its
splendors intolerable blinds
feeble, sensual, or selfish
Souls? Doubt it not!”
304. C.W. Leadbeater, 33rd

“The 33rd

306. Albert Pike, 33rd

Instructions to World Supreme Councils,
August 14, 1889
“That which we must say to the
crowd is– We worship a God, but it
is the God that one adores without
superstition. To you, Sovereign
Grand Inspectors General, we say
this, that you may repeat it to the
Brethren of the 32nd
, 31st
and 30th
degrees– The Masonic religion
should be, by all of us initiates of the
high degrees, maintained in the
purity of the Luciferian doctrine.”
307. Manly Palmer Hall, 33rd
Degree,
The Lost Keys of Freemasonry,
Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply
Co., page 48
“When the Mason learns that
the key to the warrior on the
block is the proper application of
the dynamo of living power, he
has learned the mystery of his
Craft. The seething energies of
Lucifer are in his hands and
before he may step upward, he
must prove his ability to properly
apply energy.”
308. Helena P. Blavatsky, 32nd
Degree Freemason,
The Secret Doctrine
“One of the most hidden secrets involves
the so-called fall of Angels. Satan and his
rebellious host will thus prove to have
become the direct Saviours and Creators
of divine man. Thus Satan, once he
ceases to be viewed in the superstitious
spirit of the church, grows into the
grandiose image. It is Satan who is the
God of our Planet and the only God.
Satan (or Lucifer) represents the
Centrifugal Energy of the Universe this
ever-living symbol of self-sacrifice for the
intellectual independence of humanity.”
309. Eliphas Levi, 33rd
Degree,
The Mysteries of Magic,
page 428
“What is more absurd and
more impious that to attribute
the name of Lucifer to the devil,
that is to personify evil. The
intellectual Lucifer is the spirit
of intelligence and love; it is the
paraclete, it is the Holy Spirit,
while the physical Lucifer is the
great agent of the universal
magnetism.”
311. Aleister Crowley (Master Therion),
Magick, 1930, page 93
“The blood is the life… there is some
ground for the belief that there is a
definite substance , not isolated as
yet, whose presence makes all the
difference between live and dead
matter, It would be unwise to
condemn as irrational the practice of
those savages who tear the heart
and liver from the adversary, and
devour them while yet warm…(cont)
312. “…The animal should therefore be
killed within the Circle, or the
Triangle, as the case may be, so
that its energy cannot escape…
chose that victim which contains the
greatest and purest force. A male
child of perfect innocence and high
intelligence is the most satisfactory
and suitable victim.”
313. This picture comes from
33rd
Degree Freemason,
Manly P. Hall’s book:
The Secret Teachings of
All Ages.
Notice , as Aleister
Crowley mentioned in the
previous slide, this
sorcerer has conjured up a
demon within the Circle
and Triangle.
This is not a coincidence.
315. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree Freemason,
Morals and Dogma, page 744
“ All truly dogmatic religions have
issued from the Kabalah and
return to it everything scientific
and grand in the religious dreams
of all the illuminati… all the
Masonic associations owe to it
their Secrets and their Symbols.”
316. A few Kabbalistic books.
Most people think of Cabala as a recently
developed Jewish-New Age sect.
317. More books on the Kabbalah.
Look closely at the themes. What would a
reasonable person conclude regarding Cabbala?
318. Evidently, the Kabbalah has something to do with
Jewish Mysticism. Notice the Triangle in the Circle.
319. Craig Heimbichner,
Blood of the Alter (quoted in Codex Magica)
“ Kabbalah: The sacred books of black magic of
Orthodox Judaism which form a large part of the
basis of the western secret societies, from
Rosicrucianism to Freemasonry and the OTO.
Kabbalism is itself derived from the sorcery of
ancient Babylon and…Pharaohic Egypt.
320. John Torrell, publisher
The Dove (quoted in Codex Magica)
“ The Cabala contains such power and demonic
teaching, it is more than enough to give the
ideology the driving force needed to lead the world
astray and to keep such an evil conspiracy alive
through the centuries…The Cabala is a teaching
source of the Freemasons as well as for other
groups.”
321. William J. Schnoebelen,
The Dark Side of Freemasonry (Codex Magica)
“ Kabbalism is a system of Jewish mysticism and
magic and is the foundational element in modern
witchcraft. Virtually all of the great witches and
sorcerers of this century were Kabbalists.”
322. James Lloyd,
The Apocalypse Chronicles,
Vol. 7, No. 1, 2005 (Codex Magica)
“ The Hebrew Cabala is a series of occultic
writings that are as demonic as any incantation
ever uttered in witchcraft. Webster’s Dictionary
tells us the Cabala is ‘an occult religious
philosophy developed by certain Jewish rabbis…”
323. Abingdon Dictionary of Living Religions,
Keith Crim, General Editor, page 394-395
KABBALA (Ju—Heb.; lit., ‘tradition’ ‘to receive’)
Traditional term for the many forms of Jewish
Mysticism… with the chronic trauma of the
DISPORA [destruction of the temple by Titus in 70
A.D. and the resulting dispersion] , and Kabbala is
one of its responses... It spread throughout
Europe and the entire Jewish world. The
conceptual components of this tradition derive from
three sources: 1) rabbinic Judaism,
2) Jewish Gnosticism, and 3) Jewish Neoplatonic,
and Neoaristotelian philosophy.
324. Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike.
Every Freemason, reaching the 32nd
Degree,
receives a copy of this book.
325. Morals and Dogma is supposed to be
an outline that explains
Freemasonry’s origins, doctrines, and
symbols; within the context of the
32 degrees of the Scottish Rite.
The contents of this book should give
us an idea as to what they think is
important for a Mason to learn.
326. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, by Albert Pike
The following is a small example of differing topics
mentioned within Morals and Dogma, and the
number of times each topic is mentioned:
Kabalah ………………………………..70x
Druid, (ism), (ic) ……………………….35x
Gnostic, (ism), (ois)……………………33x
Magic, Magi, Magician………………...31x
The Mysteries (mystery religions)……46x
327. When was the last time you read a
book that discussed any of
these subjects?
Topics such as Druid witchcraft,
Kabbalah, and Gnosticism probably
don’t come up much within most
normal men’s organizations.
329. Abingdon Dictionary of Living Religions,
Keith Crim, General Editor, page 394-395
KABBALA “…Rabbinic Judaism supplied a fully
developed theology, a sacred and authoritative
body of literature based on the Bible and the
Talmud… the ultimate return of all reality to its
metaphysical roots in the supernal, divine world of
the One… Whatever happens ‘here’ in our
universe is happening ‘there’ within God, for
justice and mercy, male and female, good and evil,
six days of creation and Sabbath, and all other
constituents of reality are also various names of
God, pointing to the infinite modalities of his being.”
330. In 70 AD, the Nation of Israel was dispersed into
the surrounding pagan nations, after the
destruction of the temple by the Romans.
Many Jews fled East and North into the old
Babylonian areas. The Jewish religious leaders
were incredibly devastated and became very
embittered because they felt Jehovah had reneged
on certain promises. Any explanation for their
current misery would suffice.
Any explanation except one: That Jesus was the
promised Messiah and the Jewish people were
suffering the consequences of rejecting Him.
331. Because the Nation of Israel could not bring itself
to admit it’s error, the Rabbis had to figure out
what went wrong.
Did they disobey God? Of course not!
Was Jesus really the Messiah? Of course not!
Due to the their pridefulness, they had to concoct a
modified religion which somehow allowed
themselves to be right, and thus, make Jehovah
an evil deceiver who tricked Israel into believing
His promises.
This new Jewish religion is called the Kabbalah.
332. Modern Judaism is different from what we have
been led to believe. The foundation of Orthodox
Judaism is based on the Kabbalah.
334. Dr. William Wynn Westcott,
33rd
Degree Freemason, Supreme Magus,
History of the Societas Rosicruciana in
Anglia, December 30, 1900
“The aim of the Society is to afford mutual
aid and encouragement in working out the
great problems of Life… the system of
philosophy founded upon the Cabala
and the doctrines of Hermes Trismegistus,
which was inculcated by the original
Fratres Rosae-Crueis…”
335. Today’s occultists don’t even bother hiding the Masonic
connection anymore. Look at the list along the left margin.
336. Hermetic-Alchemical diagram emphasizing
‘Above and Below’. It is a type of Yin-Yang symbol; the
separation of the ‘world of light (above)’ and ‘the world of
darkness (below)’. It is a key theme in Cabbala.
337. 33rd
Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall and his
book, The Secret Teachings of All Ages.
Notice the ‘Above and Below’ diagram on the cover.
338. Very popular occult artwork. Notice the man breaking out
of the ‘world of matter’ into to the ‘spirit world’. He is
attempting to gain Gnosis (wisdom). This is the purpose of
Freemasonry. They feel Lucifer can assist them.
339. Freemason ceremony with black and
white tiles. The white tile represents the spirit
nature of the cosmos. The black tile represents
the material world in which mortals inhabit.
341. Picture found on a Gnostic website displaying
their church’s alter. Notice the black and white dualistic
tiles on the floor…also notice the Egyptian obelisks.
343. Very common examples of the Cabbalistic Sephiroth.
a.k.a. Kabbalistic Tree of Life. This is a tool used to help the
Cabbalist understand, what they perceive to be, the dualistic
nature of God. It helps them reason out in their minds how a
good God can allow evil to exist. They reason that Jehovah
and Satan are the same deity.
344. Tarot card with Kabbalistic Sephiroth over
a Masonic black and white tile floor. Also notice the dualistic
Pillars of Freemasonry; numerous occult symbols.
348. Very popular ‘Above and Below’ symbol used
in the Kabbalah, Wicca, and the New Age.
349. This Masonic-Alchemical diagram is also a dualistic ‘Above
and Below’ symbol. The serpent above, with the wings
and crown, represents the spirit realm. They hold on to
each others tail as a representation of Intigration.
Together, they represent ‘The One’.
352. Advertisement to join the Rosicrucians.
‘As Above – So Below’ ; Rosicrucianism was the predecessor to
modern Freemasonry.
353. Tarot Pictorial created by 33rd
Degree F.M.,
Arthur Edward Waite. The Witch-Magician pictured is
performing the ‘As Above So Below’ sign. It is intended as
a way of integrating the spirit world and the physical world.
355. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree Freemason,
Instructions to World Supreme Councils,
August 14, 1889
“Yes, Lucifer is God, and
unfortunately Adonay is also God.
For the eternal law is that there is
no light without shade, no beauty
without ugliness, no white without
black, for the absolute can only
exist as two Gods…”
356. Carl Hackse (Dr. Bataille),
Le Diable au XIX Siecle
“The Cabala is Occult Science itself. It is the secret
theology of the initiates; theology essentially Satanic.
In a word the counter-theology. Our God, the God
of the Christians, is the power of evil in the eyes of
the Cabalists; and for them the power of good, the
real God, is Lucifer.”
357. William Schnoebelen (former Witch and Satanist),
Wicca: Satan’s Little White Lie, page 130
“ It is important to note that many
notions, both the Jewish heresy of
qabalism and the Hellenic heresy of
gnosticism, emerged from the blend
of Jewish and Zoroastrian
philosophy… the meanderings of
Jewish thinkers were far away from
what the Hebrew bible taught…
It assumes that the Lord of Light and
the Lord of Darkness are equal, but
they are not.”
358. This Gnostic (dualistic) belief system is expressed in
the black and white tiles of all the Masonic lodges.
359. This also explains the
dualistic pillars of
Freemasonry.
The pillar on the left
represents the BELOW
(flesh and matter).
The pillar on the right
represents the ABOVE
(spirit).
360. This is why 33rd
Degree F.M., Eliphas Levi’s Baphomet
performs the ‘Above and Below’.
It represents this dualistic belief system and their view of
the Cosmos. Conflicting but equal gods. And in their
occult way of thinking, Lucifer is the good God.
361. Helena Blavatsky,
32nd
Degree Freemason,
The Secret Doctrine, 1893,
page 446
“Once that the key to
Genesis is in our hands, the
scientific and symbolical
Kabalah unveils the secret.
The Great Serpent of the
garden of Eden and the
Lord God are identical.”
362. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree,
Morals and Dogma,
page 102
“The true name of Satan, the
Kabalists say, is that of
Yahveh reversed; for Satan is
not a black god, but the
negation of God...for the
Initiates, this is not a Person,
but a Force, created for
good, but which may serve
for evil. It is the instrument of
Liberty or Free Will.”
363. Masonic Lodge logo; notice the text that reads:
‘LET THAT WHICH IS BELOW BE AS THAT WHICH IS ABOVE.’
This is an expression of the desire to integrate the World of Matter (below)
with the Spirit World (above).
364. These dualistic pictures all mean the same thing.
Two worlds: one is the world of Light (spirit), the other is the evil-dark
world in which people are trapped (matter/flesh). These occultist
believe that people are actually gods trapped inside of flesh; put there
by an evil demi-god named Jehovah (a deceitful being who wants
mankind to stay ignorant of their true divine nature).
365. They feel that once these two worlds are united into
‘The One’ then all mankind will benefit from this union.
Mankind will become God, because in their way of thinking,
God is in everything. Thus, people are also God.
The Uninitiated are just ignorant of this fact.
366. The motivation of these modern-day Magi, is the belief that
they are doing mankind a service by helping the
Uninitiated discover their potential for becoming God.
These sorcerers feel they are the vanguards of a secret
knowledge (gnosis) which must eventually be revealed
globally so we can all make the transition.
367. They take the Serpent at his word. They feel that Satan-Lucifer will open
their eyes and they will become as God. They see Jehovah as wanting to
keep mankind ignorant of man’s god-potential. They take the Garden of
Eden story and turn it upside down.
This is precisely what the Gnostic (Nag Hammadi) texts teach.
368. This Satanic twisting of the Scriptures (Kabbalah) is the
natural result of a nation that continually rejected God’s
mercy. The rejection of Messiah, being the ultimate refusal
to accept God’s love.
369. Abingdon Dictionary of Living Religions,
Keith Crim, General Editor, page 444
MAGEN DAVID (Ju—Heb.; lit. ‘shield of David’).
The six-pointed star formed by two equilateral
triangles... During the period of the Second
Temple it was common among both Jews and
non-Jews… It is found of a frieze alongside the
five pointed star and the swastika. Its use as a
magical symbol and a protective amulet seems to
have first become common in the KABBALA in
the early fourteenth century.
370. This Jewish-Cabalistic amulet portrays the true esoteric
meaning behind the Star of David. Two gods, equal but
separate; and Satan is the ‘god of light’.
371. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree,
Morals and Dogma,
“ This is the doctrine of
the Kabalah, with which
you will no doubt seek to
make yourself
acquainted, as to the
Creation. ”
372. A central teaching among the ancient Gnostics
was that the god or demiurge, who created the
visible heavens and earth, was an evil or flawed
god who entrapped divine souls within bodies of
sinful matter-flesh.
The Gnostic Society Library,
The Nag Hammadi Text, Introduction
“The creator god, the one who claimed to
evolving orthodox dogma to have made
man, and to won him …was a lying demon
and not God at all.”
373. Albert Pike,
Morals and Dogma, page 687
“ The deity of the Old
Testament is everywhere
represented as the direct
author of Evil, commissioning
evil and lying spirits to men,
hardening the heart of
Pharoah, and visiting the
iniquity of the individual sinner
on the whole people.”
374. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, by Albert Pike
375. Spiritual Alchemy is an attempt to integrate
the ‘Above and Below’. The Kabbalah is its foundation.
376. Alchemy Unveiled compared to Morals and Dogma.
All of the modern-day high level Witches, New Agers,
Satanists, and Occultists are very aware of the Masonic
connections with their respective religions.
377. The Cabalistic Sepheroth superimposed over the dualistic black and
white pillars of Freemasonry. It is incredibly easy to make the
Masonic-Kabbalistic connection because most Occultists don’t even
bother hiding it anymore.
378. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree F.M.,
Morals and Dogma, page 741
“ Masonry is a search after
Light. That search leads us
directly back, as you see, to
the Kabalah. ”
379. We have established that Freemasonry
is definitely not compatible with
Christianity. Masonry is Satanic at its
very core. By stealth, they have
created all of the major cults for the
purpose of spreading their secret
religion; which is based on the Ancient
Mystery Religions.
380. The next most reasonable
question would be:
Who created Freemasonry
and why?
381. There is only one institution that
could possibly surpass
Freemasonry as being the most
Pagan, Occult, and outright
pseudo-Christian organization in
the world.
382. Assyrian relief representing Baal-Hadad; the sun god of
that region. Notice, the crescent moon represents the
womb of the woman giving birth to the sun god.
383. Isis, the wife of the Egyptian sun god, Osiris. She gives
birth to Horus (who is an incarnate form of Osiris).
The horns on top of her head represent her position as the
moon goddess and she is shown giving birth to the sun.
386. Ezekiel 8:13
Then said he unto me, ‘Hast thou seen this,
O son of man? Turn thee yet again, and thou
shalt see greater abominations than these.’
And he brought me into the inner court of the
LORD’S house, and behold, at the door of the
temple of the LORD, between the porch and
the altar, were about five and twenty men,
with their backs toward the temple of the
LORD, and their faces toward the east; and
they worshipped the sun toward the east.
389. Thoth, the Egyptian god of
Wisdom. Notice on top of
his head; Moon giving birth
to the sun. Masonry likes to
identify with Thoth because
he represents gnosis.
390. Thoth is shown assisting Anubis, (‘god of the dead’).
Thoth is the Egyptian equivalent to the Greek Hermes and
the Roman Mercury. Note that in Islam, Allah also judges
a man’s life with scales.
397. Dianna (left) with crescent moon on head.
Isis (right) with same, as she holds Horus.
398. Egyptian relief filled with occult symbols.
Horus-Pharaoh with hawk for his head. Notice the solar
serpent on top of the seated Horus.
399. Stylized Hindu ‘Om’ symbol created to emphasize
the crescent moon and sun symbol.
400. Shriner Fez; Crescent moon giving birth to the sun.
Notice: Islamic sword and image of Pharoah.
401. Wicca Logo
Notice how the
crescent moon is giving
birth to the sun.
Wicca proudly defines
itself as a modern day
Mystery Religion.
402. All of these are based on the ancient mystery religions.
The womb of the moon goddess gives birth to the incarnate
sun god.
403. Deuteronomy 4:19
And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to
heaven, and when you see the sun, the
moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven,
you feel driven to worship them and serve
them, which the LORD your God has divided
to all the peoples under the whole heaven as
a heritage.
404. Ezekiel: 8:13-14
“ He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again,
and thou shalt see greater abominations
that they do. Then he brought me to the
door of the gate of the LORD’S house which
was towards the north; and behold, there sat
women weeping for Tammuz.”
405. Famous depiction on Madonna and Child.
Mary is seated inside of the crescent moon with the
sun behind her.
409. These Roman Catholic depictions of Mary being
associated with the moon, are quite common.
410. Mary standing as ‘Queen of Heaven’ on the crescent moon.
Notice she is not crushing the serpents head, as the
Catholic bible reads in Genesis Ch. 3:15.
411. Sun behind her head; crescent moon; and she
is not crushing the head of the serpent.
412. Card from a Masonic tarot deck; loaded with occult
symbols. Notice the moon at the feet of Isis.
413. This is not Mary and Jesus. It is a picture from The Secret
Teachings of All Ages, by 33rd
Degree Freemason,
Manly P. Hall (Luciferian).
414. Notice: 1) the zodiac on the perimeter. 2) the sun behind
the woman. 3) the crescent moon at her feet. 4) the
serpent at the woman’s feet. 5) mother and child with solar
halos (Babylonian sun-disk on the child).
415. 33rd
Degree F.M., Manly P. Hall is
using this to demonstrate an accurate
archetype or theme that was
universally used within the ancient
mystery religions (pagan religions).
The sun-god (Father)
The moon-goddess (Mother)
The incarnate sun-god (Son)
A type of pagan trinity which most
religious historians trace back to
ancient Babylon.
416. Hall’s pictorial archetype is actually quite accurate.
However, Hall is incorrect in his assertion that
Christianity is based on a prior pagan myth.
417. But, Hall is quite accurate in recognizing the
Sun-god and Moon-goddess connection
within the Roman Catholic Church.
418. When the languages of
man were confused at the
Tower of Babel, mankind
dispersed to all parts of the
earth.
One of the results being,
the spreading of the pagan
mystery religions and the
accompanying worship of
the sun, moon, and stars.
419. Ralph Edward Woodrow,
Babylon Mystery Religion: Ancient and Modern,
1993, page 3-4
“Following his [ Nimrod’s ] death… his wife Semiramis
claimed he was the sun god. Later she gave birth to
a son, she claimed that her son, Tammuz by name,
was their hero Nimrod reborn… She claimed her son
was supernaturally conceived and that he was the
promised seed, the ‘savior.’ In the religion that
developed, however, not only was the child
worshipped, but the mother was worshipped also!”
420. These are a few
examples of Mother and
Child deities from
differing regions.
The original template
being: Semiramis and
Tammuz of Babylon
(top left).
421. Roman Catholic Monstrance.
The priest transforms a round disk of bread into the body of their god.
This disk then sits within the solar blaze on top of the crescent moon.
This is the moon giving birth to the incarnate sun-god.
423. Logo from the Pagan Federation.
All the Wiccans, Druids, Pagans, etc…recognize the Sun (male) and Moon
(female) components of the ancient mysteries. It is a system that is also
alive within Freemasonry and Roman Catholicism.
424. This is a representation of the womb of the
Moon-goddess giving birth to the Incarnate
Sun-God.
425. Almost without exception, the Roman Catholic
Monstrance is a portrayal of the incarnate Sun-god
within the goddess womb; accompanied by a
solar blaze on the perimeter.
426. Rev. Alexander Hislop,
The Two Babylons, page 159-160
“ In the fourth century, when the queen of heaven,
under the name of Mary, was beginning to be
worshipped in the Christian Church, this unbloody
sacrifice was brought in… a small thin wafer and on
its roundness the Church of Rome lays so much
stress… The thin round cake… occurs on alters.
Almost every jot or tittle in the Egyptian worship had a
symbolical meaning. The round disk, so frequent in
the sacred emblems of Egypt symbolized the sun.”
427. Mithras of the Persian and Babylonia pantheon;
later adopted by pagan Rome. Mithraism was an
ancient mystery religion.
428. Secret Sosieties: The Cult
of Mithra, page 54
“The bread eaten by the
initiate represented Mithra
and, by doing so, he was
ready to accept the sun god
as the source of all
nourishment.”
429. Ralph Edward Woodrow,
Babylon Mystery Religion: Ancient and
Modern, page 49
“ Instead of the empire constantly being
divided--with pagans in conflict with
Christians—why not take such steps as
might be necessary to mix elements of both
religions together, he [Constantine]
reasoned, and thereby bring a united force
to the empire? Even the cross symbol was
not a divisive factor, for by this time it was
in use by Christians, and to the worshipper
of Mithra in Constantine’s forces, the cross
could give no offense, for they had long
fought under the standard bearing a
Mithraic cross of light.”
430. The Harper Collins Dictionary of Religion,
Jonathan Z. Smith, Editor
1999, page 723
“ Mithraism-- ancient Roman mystery cult,
know in antiquity as the Mysteries of Mithras,
that flourished throughout the Roman Empire
from the first through the fourth centuries. …
remains of the cult have been found in every
part of the empire …the cult often met
underground because they were designed to
imitate caves.
431. Should it come as any
surprise that Albert Pike, in his
book Morals and Dogma,
refers to the mystery religion
of Mithraism over 31 times?
What organization, do you
think, is a good candidate for
being the creator of
Freemasonry?
432. Templar Chief, Jaques
Demolay.
On the 700th
anniversary of the
burning of the Templars, the
Vatican reported that they just
happened to have found
documents that prove that the
Templars were wrongly
condemned.
The implication is that
Freemasonry and Catholicism
are actually compatible.
433. Wiccan tarot card depicting a sorcerer performing the
‘Above and Below’ symbol. He is attempting to tap into power from the
spirit world in order to perform Magic in the material world.
434. Roman Catholic priest calling on power from the
spirit world to make a mystical transformation in
the material world.
435. “ Seek where you will, through heaven
and earth, and you will find one
created being who can forgive the
sinner, who can free him from the
chains of hell. That extraordinary
being is the priest, the Roman
Catholic priest. ”
The Catholic Priest, page 78
436. William Schnoebelen, (former Witch and
Satanist)
Wicca: Satan’s Little White Lie,
page 85-86
“ It is interesting how effortlessly
the Catholic can slide into Pagan
practices. For example, I would
venture to say that about 95% of
the 200 witches we initiated were
raised Catholic… Voodoo,
Macumba and Santeria can
effortlessly blend…”
437. William Schnoebelen (former Witch-Satanist),
Wicca: Satan’s Little White Lie,
page 85
“…the vast majority of executions
for witchcraft were done by the
Roman Catholic church, which is not
really an orthodox Christian
institution… The Roman church is
far closer to Paganism than it is to
Christianity. Even many Pagans
have noticed the resemblance.
Many witches have sought out the
Roman priesthood as part of their
magickal development.”
438. “ Thou art a priest
forever: bishop…
He is no longer a man, a
sinful child of Adam, but
an ‘Alter Christus’ ,
another Christ…
Forever a priest of the
Most High, with power
over the Almighty. ”
The Catholic Priest, p. 78
439. “ God Himself is obliged to abide by the
judgment of his priests, either not to
pardon or to pardon, according as they
refuse or give absolution… The
sentence of the priest precedes, and
God subscribes to it. ”
Dignities and Duties of the Priest, Vol. 12, p. 27
441. Pause for a moment and
consider what you are seeing.
Should true Bible believing
Christians have any fellowship
with this system?
Are there Christian leaders who
want to merge with this?
442. Staff of Osiris.
Notice the pine cone at the top. The pine cone was a fertility symbol
used in many of the ancient pagan religions.
443. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree Freemason,
Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, page 292
“ This is the staff of Osiris, also, and his
monogram, and was adopted by the
Christians as a Sign.”
444. Albert Pike is correct. The Staff of Osiris
is the origin of the Roman Church’s CHI RHO symbol.
452. Albert Pike, 33rd
Degree Freemason,
Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, page 292
“ The vestments of the priests of Horus
were covered with these Crosses.”
453. The ‘Priests of Horus’ are still covered with these crosses.
These crosses originated in Babylon and were then spread to
other areas, including Egypt. They are a sun symbol.
455. Brick from the temple of Baal.
Notice circle with cross in center represents the sun.
456. This is a very popular
Wiccan talisman.
It is called the
Triple-goddess.
These women
represent the different
phases of the moon.
457. Notice that the woman in
the center represents the
full moon. She is called
the Mother-goddess.
She is holding the symbol
of the sun-god in her
hands and is focusing it
at her womb.
In the occult, the sun
represents the male, and
the moon represents the
female.
458. Relief portraying Mithra (Persian sun god) as the
‘Lion Headed One’. Notice the solar orb on which
he stands.
460. Obelisk (Washington Monument) designed and
created by Freemasons. It represents the sex organ
of the Egyptian sun-god Osiris.
461. Ralph Edward Woodrow,
Babylon Mystery Religion, Ancient and Modern,
page 31
“Originally, the obelisk was associated
with sun worship… upright objects such
as the obelisk also had a sexual
significance. Realizing that through
sexual union life was reproduced, the
phallus was considered (along with the
sun) a symbol of life. These were
beliefs represented by the obelisk.”
462. St. Peter’s Square.
Notice: 1) Sun dome on the Vatican. 2) The phallus of the Egyptian sun
god, Osiris (obelisk). 3) The solar wheel in the center.
463. Look closely, from left to right:
1) Wiccan Mother-goddess displaying the symbol of her Light-
bearer, Lucifer. 2) Eucharist with the symbol of the Roman-
Persian sun god, Mithra. 3) The sex organ of the Egyptian
sun-god, Osiris in the center of a solar wheel.
465. Jeremiah 44:15-17
Then all the men which knew that their wives
had burned incense unto other gods, and all
the women… answered Jeremiah, saying:
‘As for the word that hast spoken unto us in
the name of the LORD, we will not hearken
unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever
thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn
incense unto the queen of heaven, and to
pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have
done… for then had we plenty of victuals, and
were well, and saw no evil.”
466. Pope Pius IX, Ubi Primum,1849
“ For God has committed to Mary
the treasury of all good things, in
order that everyone may know that
through her are obtained every
hope, every grace, and all
salvation. For this is His will, that
we obtain everything through
Mary.”
467. Pope John Paul II, Dives in
Misericordia, 1980
“ In fact, by being assumed into
heaven she has not laid aside
the office of salvation but by
the manifold intercession she
continues to obtain for us the
grace of eternal salvation.”
468. Pope John Paul II
“Membership in the Militia
means complete dedication
to the Kingdom of God and to
the salvation of souls through
Mary Immaculate.”
469. Roman Catholic depiction of Mary. She is given the titles:
Co-Redemtrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, and Advocate. She replaces
Jesus. This is how they justify displaying her with pierced hands.
470. Helena Blavatsky,
The Secret Doctrine, page 539
“ The Celestial Virgin which
thus become the Mother of
Gods and Devils at one and
the same time; for she is
the ever-loving beneficent
Deity…. But in antiquity and
reality Lucifer… and Satan
at one and the same time. ”
471. Cardinal St. Alphonse di Liguori,
The Glories of Mary,
pp 130, 137, 141, 143, 169, 170
“ The Virgin [ Mary ] is even
the Queen of Hell and
Sovereign Mistress of Devils.
The way of Salvation is
open none otherwise… All
power is given to Thee. ”
473. Ralph Edward Woodrow,
Babylon Mystery Religion: Ancient and
Modern, 1993, page 4
“Much of the Babylonian worship was
carried on through mysterious
symbols – it was a ‘mystery’ religion…
This system of idolatry spread from
Babylon to the nations, for it was from
this location that men scattered over
the face of the earth… they took the
worship of the mother and child, and
various mystery symbols with them…
Babylon was the primeval source from
which all systems of idolatry flowed.”
481. The artist who painted the picture on the right, understands
the Catholic Mary-Venus connection.
These women are almost identical.
482. The Catholic Encyclopedia,
Vol. 7, page 459
“Devotion to Our Blessed Lady in its ultimate
analysis must be regarded as a practical
application of the doctrine of the Communion
of the Saints. Seeing that this doctrine is not
contained, at least explicitly, in the earlier
forms of the Apostles’ Creed, there is perhaps
no ground for surprise if we do not meet with
any clear traces of the cultus of the Blessed
Virgin in the first Christian centuries…”
484. Priest of Dagon.
Dagon was the primary deity of the Philistines. See how the priest
identifies with the deity by his dress. Notice the ‘holy water’ and bread.
485. Assyrian relief of priests worshipping.
Notice the priest in the Dagon regalia. Also, notice the winged orb with
the all-seeing eye.
490. One reoccurring theme within pagan mythology is
that of a god or goddess which emerges from a
cave or grotto. This is a grotto of Mithra.
491. Typical portrayal of
Diana as the
‘Goddess of the Grove’.
In the mystery religions,
the grove would serve the
same purpose as a grotto.
The Initiates would meet in
these places, in private,
and practice their worship.
492. Advertisement for an upcoming Pagan festival;
Diana’s Grove. Very little has changed.
493. Mary being depicted as a goddess emerging
from the grotto. This is very common in
Roman Catholicism.
512. Look closely at the
bottom center of the
page. You will
notice that once the
candidate passes
through the first
three Degrees, he is
then brought into
the ‘greater
mysteries’.
Look above the
Blue Lodge and
notice that the
initiate is now able
to enter into the
Grotto….
513. You will also notice
to the left of the
Grotto…
…the Tall Cedars,
aka the Grove.
514. Pagan website with emphasis on the Grove.
The Druids would meet in oak groves.
515. 2 Kings 23:4-5
“ And the king commanded… bring forth out
of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that
were made for Baal, and for the grove, and
for all the host of heaven, and he burned
them… And he put down the idolatrous
priests… them also that burned incense unto
Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the
planets, and to all the host of heaven. ”
516. Diana in the grove. She is usually depicted with
hunting dogs or a deer.
517. Goddess Grove. This is a modern Wiccan park
were one can stroll and meditate.
518. Remember this entry from LDS
founder, Joseph Smith ?
Joseph Smith, History of the Church,
Deseret Books, 1978, Vol. 4,
Ch. 32, pages 550-551
“Tuesday 15,-- I officiated as
grand chaplain at the
installation of the Nauvoo
Lodge of Free Masons, at the
Grove near the Temple…”
* Notice: not in the Temple,
but at the Grove.
519. In Druidism and Wicca,
Pan is the God of the
Grove.
He is the male counterpart
to the moon-goddess.
At the higher levels of
Wicca, Pan is the
representation of Lucifer.
