For those who love Truth… “…every lover of the truth is bound to praise God by revealing the knowledge entrusted to him.” – The Waterstone of the Wise “Now, there is one creed to which all genuine Freethinkers are faithful.

It is to seek the truth, wherever it leads, and whatever the traditional belief upon the subject under investigation.” – Heavenly Bridegrooms (Ida C. Craddock)

“The distinguishing property of man is to search for and follow after truth…To attain the truth…is the noblest destiny of man. Hereafter and all your life it is to be your object.” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.)

“Every man who is prepared to die rather than renounce truth and justice is most truly living, for immortality abides in his soul. To find or to form such men was the end of all ancient initiations.” - Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie Book 1 (Eliphas Levi)

“The real advantage which truth has, consists in this, that when an opinion is true, it may be extinguished once, twice, or many times, but in the course of ages there will generally be found persons to rediscover it, until some one of its reappearances falls on a time when from favorable circumstances it escapes persecution until it has made such head as to withstand all subsequent attempts to suppress it.” - John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1859 A.D.)

“…ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” - John 8:32

“Speak the truth and shame the Devil.” - Rabelais “Truth conquers all.” –

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” - Ephesians 6:12 Chapter 1: Azazel’s Descent “Behind the veil of all the hieratic and mystical allegories of ancient doctrines, behind the darkness and strange ordeals of all initiations, under the seal of all sacred writings, in the ruins of Nineveh or Thebes, on the crumbling stones of old temples and on the blackened visage of the Assyrian or Egyptian sphinx, in the monstrous or marvelous paintings which interpret to the faithful of India the inspired pages of the Vedas, in the cryptic emblems of our old books on alchemy, in the ceremonies practiced at reception by all secret societies, there are found indications of a doctrine which is everywhere the same and everywhere carefully concealed.” - Eliphas Levi in the Introduction to his Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie (Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual), circa. 1855 A.D.)

And indeed it most certainly is; it is the story of fallen angels.

And theirs is a tale of rebellion and subterfuge.

Theosophists teach that in times past: “…an important event happened - the most important up to this time upon our planet. This event was the coming of what the ancient scriptures call the ‘Shining Ones,’ the ‘Sons of God.’ These Beings have been called by many names…They have sometimes been referred to as the ‘fallen angels’ …The coming (descent) of these divine sons (angels), and their sojourn (their entrapment) in the lower regions (‘Hades’ of the Greeks, ‘Ament’ of the Egyptians) has been the subject of myth and legend of all peoples since the beginning of time. This is a theme which has been immortalised by sage and poet.” - The Theosophical Seal (Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.)

These words were written in reference of course to the coming of the angels to our Earth as cited in the sixth chapter of the Biblical Book of Genesis: 5

“When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, the sons (angels) of God saw that the daughters of men (female humans) were fair; and they took to wife such of them as they chose. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God (the angels) came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them (the Nephilim are the hybrid offspring of angels and humans). These were the mighty men (‘gibborim’) who were of old, the men of renown (the heroes of old).”

- Genesis 6:1-2, 4 (Sex between humans and angels is known as demoniality, and the human wives of the angels are called demonialitas)

The Book of Enoch continues the story of the angels’ descent to our Earth and relates to us how in the days of Jared (See Genesis 5:20) 200 angels landed on Mt. Hermon amongst the Anti-Lebanon mountain range on the Lebanon-Syrian border, taking up residence amongst the human population of the Earth, interbreeding with them, completely corrupting mankind through a misguided dissemination of an advanced heavenly knowledge: “And they (the angels) were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon…” - 1Enoch VI. 6 This number is confirmed by The Kawan: “…the two hundred demons (read: rebellious fallen angels) came down to the sphere (to the Earth) from the high heaven (from the New Earth)…” - The Kawan M363 These angels were banished to our Earth after their rebellion against God was defeated in heaven. It was said of these angels: “…they (the 200 angels) have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne giants (angel/human hybrid children), and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.” - 1Enoch IX.8-9 The Zohar also speaks of their arrival: “…Uzza (Semjaza) and Aza’el (Azazel), who rebelled above, were 6

cast down by the Blessed Holy One (by God), and materialized on earth, abiding on it…Subsequently they strayed after earthly women…They engendered children, whom they called Mighty Giants…” - Zohar 1:58a (Perhaps Azazel’s band of fallen angels “materialized” upon the Israeli Golan Heights. Parts of Mt. Hermon’s southern slopes fall within the northern Golan Heights area [compare the name of the mountain to the name of the Greek god Hermes who represented the angel Azazel, wherefrom the mountain derives its name]. It is possible the Circle of Gilgal-Rephaim (Rujm el-Hiri) [a ‘Gilgal’ is a circle of standing stones akin to a henge] said to predate even the Biblical Flood itself atop the Golan Heights was constructed to commemorate the angels’ descent to our Earth, one of the original “high places of Baal” [Azazel] such as the one spoken of in Leviticus 22:41 set up to worship the fallen angelic “host of heaven” as set forth in 2Kings 21:3, who were “the devils” of Leviticus 17:7 and 2Chronicles 11:15. Interestingly enough Mt. Hermon is located on the 33° North [33rd parallel], as Scottish Rite Freemasonry, ever a slave to symbolism, consists of 33°. Highdegree Freemasonic studies, as we shall learn, is steeped in the knowledge of these fallen angels)

In days long past these 200 angels mated with women of the Earth. This was in direct contradiction of the commandment of God: “And to you (the fallen angel Azazel and his group of rebellious fallen angels, 200 in number), according to what ye wish, there shall be upon you the mind of a man and the body of a man (God made these angels incarnate). But take good heed to yourselves that ye transgress not My word and break not My commandment; and defile not ye yourselves with eating, or drinking, or fornication, or with any other thing whatsoever;; and transgress ye not My word.” And straightway there were given unto them (the angels) with His word flesh, and blood, and a heart of the children of men (the angels were made incarnate). And they (Azazel and his angels) were content to leave the height of heaven, and they came down to earth (to our Earth), to the folly of the dancing of the children of Cain…And their (the children of Cain’s) daughters were there, and they (the angels) enjoyed the orgies without shame…And the men (the angels in bodies of men) did not restrain themselves for a moment, but they took to wife from among women those whom they had chosen, and committed sin with them…And the daughters of Cain with whom the angels had accompanied conceived…” - Kebra-Nagast: Chapter 100 (“More and more we are finding that mythology in general though greatly contorted very often has some historic base. And the interesting thing is that one myth which occurs over and over again in many parts of the world is that somewhere a long time ago supernatural beings had sexual intercourse with natural women and produced a special breed of people.” – Genesis in Space and Time: The Flow of Biblical History (1972 A.D.) by American Evangelical Christian theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor Francis A. Schaeffer (1912-1984 A.D.). Schaeffer is said to have had a

strong influence on the leaders of the Christian Right Movement in America)

As we similarly learn from The Book of Enoch: “And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another;; ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men (the humans) and beget us children.’” - 1Enoch VI. 1-2 The eminent Jewish historian Josephus (37-100 A.D.) in his Antiquities of the Jews asserts that: “…many angels of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their strength; for the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians called giants.” - Antiquities of the Jews 1.3.1 The Roman Catholic Saint Aristides the Athenian (circa. 125 A.D.) clarifies this for us stating: “The Greeks…say of their gods (the Greeks worshipped the fallen angels as gods) that they committed adultery with the daughters of men; and of these there was born a certain race (a race of angel/human hybrids)...” - The Apology of Aristides the Philosopher (Syriac) In The Works of Philo, “On the Giants,” the Jewish philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria in the 1st Century A.D. states: “And when the angels of God saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful, they took unto themselves wives of all whom they chose.” The Works of Philo

In the 8th Century A.D. Rabbi Eliezer (the teachings of whose father forms the basis of the Zohar) recorded the following remark in a Midrash: “The Angels who fell from Heaven saw the daughters of Cain perambulating and displaying their secret parts, their eyes painted with 8

antimony in the manner of harlots; and, being seduced, took wives from among them.” - Rabbi Eliezer (“When the angels came to earth, and beheld the daughters of men in all their grace and beauty, they could not restrain their passion…entering into alliances with the daughters of men…The offspring of these alliances between the angels and the Cainite women were the giants, known for their strength and their sinfulness…” – The Legends of the Jews Vol. I: The Punishment of the Fallen Angels by Rabbi Louis Ginzberg (1873-1953 A.D.))

Student of Greek philosophy turned Christian convert Justin Martyr (103–165 A.D.) in his Second Apology, “How the Angels Transgressed,” writes: “God, when He had made the whole world…committed the care of men and all things under heaven to angels whom He appointed over them. But the angels transgressed this appointment, and were captivated by love of women, and begat children who are those that are called demons; and besides, they afterwards subdued the human race to themselves…” - Second Apology The Early Church Father Tertullian (160-220 A.D.) in The Apology Chapter 22 explains: “We are instructed, moreover, by our sacred books how from certain angels, who fell of their own free-will (fallen angels, as it were), there sprang a more wicked demon-brood (the hybrid offspring of the angels and their human wives), condemned of God along with the authors of their race (from whom they originated; the “authors of their race” are the rebellious fallen angels)…Their great business is the ruin of mankind. So, from the very first, spiritual wickedness (fallen angels) sought our (mankind’s) destruction.” - The Apology (Clement warns in The Letters of Clement to Theodore that: “…abominable demons are always devising destructions for the human race.” Indeed, it is, as we shall discover, possible for humans to be Overshadowed by the fallen angels to such an extent ones actions may be physically, as Clement therein writes, “instructed by them.” This sentiment concerning the supernatural devising of demonic destructions is echoed in the following prayer of the Roman Catholic Church entitled Saint Michael’s Prayer against Satan and the Rebellious Angels: “Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”)

Christian historian Julius Africanus (c.160-c.240) faithfully records in the historical annals of his Chronography: 9

“When men multiplied on the earth, the angels of heaven came together with the daughters of men…by whose power they conceived the giants as their children, by whom wickedness came to its height on the earth, until God decreed that the whole race of the living should perish in their impiety in the deluge (in the Flood).” - Julius Africanus: AntiNicene Fathers Volume VI Extant Fragments from the Chronography Part II

Ancient history indeed! As Chapter 3 of The Damascus Document exhorts: “Now therefore, children, hearken unto me, and I will open your eyes to see, and to understand the works of God and to choose what He approveth, and to reject what He hateth: To walk uprightly in all His ways and not to go about in the thoughts of an evil imagination and [with] eyes [full] of fornication. For many were led astray by them, and mighty men of valor stumbled by them from of old [and until this day]. Because they walked in the stubbornness of their heart the Watchers** (angels) of heaven fell. By them were they caught because they kept not the commandment of God…And their children…fell thereby. All flesh that was on dry land perished thereby (in the Flood). And they were as though they had not been (they vanished without a trace). Because they (the angels) did their own will, and kept not the commandment of their Maker (God), until His wrath was kindled against them.” (**Per the theurgic magic order The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s The Book of the Black Serpent (c. 1900 A.D.): “…the Fallen High Angels…were known to the Greeks as ["Archons"]…The Chief of the Watchers is named AZAZEL…”)

The following scripture from The Book of Jubilees explains that the great Flood in the time of Noah was a judgment sent upon the Earth due to the following legal finding: “…the fornication wherein the Watchers (angels) against the law of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took to themselves wives of all of which they chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness. And they begat sons, the Naphidim (the Nephilim), and they were all unlike, and they devoured one another: and the giants slew the Naphil (Nephilim), and the Naphil slew the Eljo, and the Eljo mankind, and one man (one human) another (committed homicide). And every one sold himself to work iniquity and to shed much blood, and the earth was filled with iniquity…And the Lord (God) destroyed everything from off the face of the earth; because of the wickedness of their deeds, and because of the blood which they had shed in the midst of 10

the earth He (God) destroyed everything.” -

The Book of Jubilees VII.21,2223,25 (Remains of both The Book of Jubilees and The Book of Enoch [1Enoch] were found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls associated with the Qumran commune of the Essenes [a faction of Therapeute] in Israel, a group in existence in Jesus’ day. In fact we know: “The Essenes and healing Therapeutes were followers of the ancient theurgic Mysteries.” – The Masters of Wisdom by A.E. Adams, 1890 A.D. This explains the magic spells found amongst the Dead Sea scrolls. It would seem the Disciple Luke the ‘physician’ was one such Therapeutic adept before his subsequent conversion)

Because of the destruction wrought upon our Earth and its inhabitants as a direct result of the actions of these angels, God decreed that the Earth’s inhabitants, which included Azazel’s group of fallen angels, as well as their angel/human hybrid children, be eradicated from the face of the Earth. Enoch was chosen to deliver the verdict: “And I, Enoch, answered and said unto him: ‘The Lord will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to thee that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the word of the Lord. And behold, they commit sin and transgress the law, and have united themselves with women and commit sin with them, and have married some of them, and have begot children by them. And they shall produce on the earth giants (angel/human hybrids) not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a deluge (a flood) and a great destruction…” - The Book of Noah (Notable quote: “…the giants are conceived as a sort of intermediate race between gods and men, and it was for the sake of destroying this proud and unnatural brood the Flood was sent. Among the Greeks and Romans the habit of tracing the descent of noble families from gods (fallen angels) and goddesses (the human wives of the fallen angels) was very common. Plato goes so far as to say that all heroes (celebrated in the fables of Greece) are demigods (angel/human hybrids), born of the love of a god (angel) for a mortal (human) woman…From the descriptions of the giants and heroes of old as celebrated men—men of reknown (a reference to scripture found in Genesis 6:4)—it is plain that they were popular characters, of whom the people had many stories to tell.” – The Book of Genesis in Light of Modern Knowledge: Supernatural Origin of Heroes (Worcester, 1901 A.D.). As we learn from Wikipedia: “Plato (428/427 BC – 348/347 BC), was a Classical Greek philosopher, mathematician, student of Socrates, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his mentor, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science.” Plato, as we shall learn, was a practitioner of magic, a system oft times involving the invocation of Azazel’s group of rebel angels)

It was at this time God charged the angel Raphael to imprison Azazel within the Earth: “…the Lord (God) said to Raphael: ‘Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is Dudael (also known as Duidain), and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks (Azazel was to be imprisoned inside his cherub within the igneous rock), and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there (within the earth)…” - 1Enoch X.4,5-6 The Book of Enoch (1Enoch) describes the process by which the angel Azazel was imprisoned within the Earth and how the Biblical Flood came about. It therein describes a comet being redirected by the angel Raphael so as to strike the Earth, causing great destruction thereupon. 1Enoch LXV.3-4 describes an object, a very large comet, “falling” “on the earth” by which the earth was “shaken” causing a “great commotion on the earth” due to its tremendous impact. This comet is the “heaven” which “fell to the earth” as mentioned in 1Enoch LXXXIII.3. Its impact crater is the “great abyss” spoken of in 1Enoch LXXXIII.4. It is also this very same impact crater that is mentioned in 1Enoch LXXXVIII.1,3. The impact crater itself was located in the desert called Duidain (‘dain’ means ‘valley’), also known as Dudael (‘-dael’ also means ‘valley’;; from the Old English word ‘dael’ comes our word ‘dale’).

The word ‘Dudael’ by one account translates as “God’s cauldron.” This name aptly describes an impact site typified by a round molten hole being punched into the Earth. The comet’s impact caused a great geologic upheaval the result of which brought flood upon the land (See 1Enoch LXXXIX.1-9) as water flowed from within the Earth while rain fell in torrents from the sky. This event took place in 4340 B.C. (for further information concerning how I have arrived at this date, and for greater detail concerning the Biblical Flood itself, see Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles).

1Enoch LXVII.4-7 tells of this comet strike cutting a “burning valley” into the Earth’s crust. The excavation of this molten valley by the comet which struck the Earth caused a “great convulsion and a convulsion of the waters.” Molten metal and rock flowed through this great gash in the Earth’s crust and the undermined ground collapsed.

Water speedily flowed into this molten valley imprisoning the 200 12

angels in their cherubim within the rapidly cooling rock where they are now to this day being imprisoned within the Earth.

Indeed, 1Enoch LXXXVIII.3 explains that the rebellious angels were “stoned from heaven,” a reference to the comet which struck in their vicinity and in such a way the angel Raphael “cast them in an abyss of the earth” (See 1Enoch LXXXVIII.3). From Enoch we learn “that abyss was narrow and deep, and horrible and dark” (See 1Enoch LXXXVIII.1). The furrow this astral plowshare plowed was by some called the Valley of Death (asteroids, meteorites and comets are symbolized as “plowshares” in Far Eastern ancient Sutra texts). It is the “valley of the shadow of death” mentioned in Psalms 23:4. The Greek philosopher Plutarch calls it the “valley of misery” (as does the Neoplatonist ceremonial magician Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa refer to the place of the angels’ entrapment as being the “valley of misery” in Book III Chapter 18 of his manuscript entitled Of Occult Philosophy.

It would seem Agrippa was familiar with the writings of Plutarch).

The Greek word for this abyss is Tartaros (The Expository Dictionary of Bible Words, p. 337, explains that “Tartaros was the Greek name for the…abyss in which rebellious gods (read: the rebellious fallen angels) were confined” (See 2Peter 2:4;; the Greeks also called the place of the angels entrapment Hades, home of the chthonic god Hades [also known as Pluto, who is Azazel], who, according to the Greek philosopher poet Hesiod in his Theogony, “dwells under the earth”).

The place of the angels’ entrapment was also known as the Valley of Eleusis. In Mesopotamia this abyss was variously known as Irkalla and Aralu. The Hebrews called it Sheol. The Egyptians knew this Valley of Death as Ar-en-Tet (named after their gods the Neteru (singular: Neter) who were therein entrapped, where Horus (one name by which the Egyptians knew Azazel), the Chief amongst the manes (highest ranking amongst the angels who accompanied him to the Earth) were thrust into the darkness of Amenta, which is to say, into the ‘underworld,’ beneath the earth (the ‘underworld’ is also known as the ‘netherworld’ which is to say, the Neter-world). Amenta receives its name from the fact that it was the place where was entrapped the fallen angels who they alternatively called the manes. The following Egyptian mystery teaching speaks of Azazel being interred within the earth, and extraordinarily enough, being alive and well therein: “…the great god (Azazel), lord of Amenta…joined to the earth in the inner part great, being laid on the earth [he is] not dead in Amenta, 13

[he is] a glorious being in it.” - The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVI (Also spelled Amenti, i.e., the "hidden place," also known as the "Other World" per E. A. Wallis Budge in The Egyptian Heaven and Hell (1905 A.D.))

And again: “Osiris (Azazel’s cherub Behemoth);; greater [is he] than gods all. I have granted to him [to rule] in the underworld. But his son Horus (the angel Azazel) [is] as [his] heir upon his throne within the Lake of…Fire.” - The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXIX These angels were said to be cast into a “lake of fire” of molten lava, which was caused by the comet impacting the Earth, the tremendous energy generated by its impact melting the solid bedrock beneath it in which the angels in their cherubim were imprisoned as the molten rock subsequently solidified. This comet impact in 4340 B.C. caused great regional destruction in Palestine and in other areas of the Levant and was the cause of the Biblical Flood.

Behemoth is the name of Azazel’s cherub (cherubim are named in the same way as boats and ships and aircraft are named here on Earth). It was at the time of the comet strike when Azazel’s cherub Behemoth was encased within the rock beneath the desert called Duidain: “…Behemoth (Azazel’s cherub)…occupied…a waste wilderness (a desert) named Duidain.” - 1Enoch LX.8 (See also 1Enoch LX.9) Azazel was imprisoned within his cherub Behemoth beneath the desert known as Duidain by the comet which struck the earth.

Duidain, also known as Dudael (and the ‘Pit of Dudael’), where Azazel was imprisoned within the earth is identified in Revelations 9:13-15 as being located “at the great river Euphrates” in the Middle East. For a look at the Jewish religious custom which commemorates this event see Leviticus 16:1-22 (“Azazel…persists in his corruptive activity. Therefore Israel brings offerings and casts one lot for the Lord, so that He (God) might accept atonement for all the sins of Israel, and one lot for Azazel so that he might bear the burden of the sins of Israel” - Midrash Bereshit Rabbati: The Midrash of Shemhazai and Azazel (ed.

Hanokh Albeck; Jerusalem: Mekitze Nirdamim, 1940). Indeed, in the Tenth Chapter 14

of The Book of Enoch it was God who was said to declare: “…the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.”)

Jude 6 speaks of the angels’ imprisonment within the earth: “And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him (by God) in eternal chains in the nether gloom (encased within the earth)...” - Jude 6 (See also Jude 13) …as does 2Peter 2:4: “God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell (Sheol) and committed them to pits of nether gloom (within the earth) to be kept until the judgment...” - 2Peter 2:4 (See also The Book of Enoch XX.2) As The Acts of Thomas reveals: “I (Azazel) am he who inhabits and possesses the abyss of Tartarus,” referring to this abyss as the “great chasm” in which “that serpent (the Genesis serpent Azazel) was swallowed up,” a clear reference to Azazel’s imprisonment within the earth. This is another reason why the angel Azazel was associated with the serpent imagery representive of him in The Bible, as snakes are known to make their homes underground, a characteristic analogous to Azazel’s imprisonment within the earth. When in Genesis 3:14 it was said of the serpent “dust you shall eat all the days of your life,” it is because this prophesied a future judgment against the angel Azazel, God sentencing Azazel to interment within the earth.

It is the Genesis serpent Azazel and the angels entrapped within the earth of which The Apocryphon of John warns its readers: “Guard yourself against the angels of misery (the angels within the ‘valley of misery’), the demons of chaos, and all who entrap you…beware the trap in the bowels of the underworld.” (Author’s Note: Chaos is by one definition an ‘abyss.’ It is these ‘demons of chaos’ (read: the demons of the abyss) whom practitioners of Chaos Magic (namely, psychonaut Peter Carroll (b. England, 1953 A.D.) and the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT)/the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros invoke)

The Bible speaks of Azazel as being: “the angel of the bottomless pit (the angel who is imprisoned within the earth); his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.” Revelations 9:11.

In English this translates as ‘Destroyer.’ This is in 15

reference to the angel Azazel. Compare the word ‘Apollyon’ to the word ‘Apollo,’ two names by which Azazel’s cherub Behemoth was known. The system of Magic encapsulated in the grimoire known as The Greater Key of Solomon invokes the rebel angel Azazel under the name of ‘Abaddon,’ identifying him as “ye who by your own sin have been cast down from the Empyreal Heaven, and from before His (God’s) Throne;; by Him (God) who hath cast ye down unto the most profound of the Abysses of Hell (Sheol)” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VI).

In India, the word Buddha was coined as a derivative of the name Abaddon: “In India, the “Great Abad” is Bhudda, Bauddha, Buddha, or Baddha.

There is a connection suggested here with the Abaddon of the Greeks.” - The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.294 (Hargrave Jennings)).

Azazel is what is known as a ‘destroying angel’ (as an example Psalms 78:49 describes the presence of an entire company of destroying angels). The Koran calls these ‘destroying angels’ the Malaikut alMaut, which translates as ‘angels of death.’ Compare the name of the Semitic god Dumuzi (also known as Tammuz), who represents the angel Azazel, to that of Dûmãh, the Angel of Death of the Hebrews, Chief of demons, who was known to Islamists as the Archangel of Death, Azrael, who likewise represented Azazel (One authority on the subject equates the god Duma (Dûmãh) with Tammuz (See S.F. Dunlap, Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.76)). Duma can also be rendered Damu: “‘Alas! my Damu, my healer’ … As a healer he (Tammuz, who is Azazel) is usually referred to by the title Damu(zi).”

- Tammuz and Ishtar p. 34/36 (S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D.). The god Tammuz (Azazel) was also known as Ab-u (See p.44 Tammuz and Ishtar (S. Langdon, 1914 A.D.)). And Azazel was also known as Adad/Hadad/Haddu (from whence is derived the word Hades). One may conceivably combine the Semitic words Ab/Abu Haddu (Father Haddu) into the word Buddha (as well as Abaddon/Abad/Adad). From the fact Azazel was also known as Abu comes the following definition of the Greek word ‘Abussos’ (also known as Ur-Khaos): “Bottomless;; unbounded; the abyss; the pit; the immeasurable depth of Orcus (the Gaulish god Orcus [cognate with Ur-Khaos], god of the underworld, a god who represented Azazel who was entrapped within the earth), a very deep gulf or chasm in the 16

lowest parts of the earth used as the common receptacle of the dead and especially as the abode of demons (read: the abode of the fallen angels where they lay entrapped within the earth).”

The Judaic name for Azazel, namely Ashmodai/Asmodeus, king of demons, whom Zoroastrians celebrated as Aeshma-daevas, derives his name from the Hebrew word ASAMOD, meaning, “to destroy,” as in the ‘Destroyer/Abaddon/Apollyon,’ as related above in Revelations 9:11 (the symbol for anarchy is also derived from the legends of Azazel for as we learn from The Secret Societies Handbook (Michael Bradley, 2004 A.D.): “Asmodeus (the destroyer, who is Azazel) is also the symbol for anarchy—an upper case ‘A’ inside a circle is a depiction of Asmodeus (Azazel).”). Asmodeus was portrayed as a serpent (Vita Adae Et Evae, which translates as The Life of Adam and Eve, identifies the serpent of the Garden, who is Azazel, as the ‘Destroyer.’ Indeed, the Athenian Apollo (also known as the Destroyer/Abaddon/Apollyon, and which represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth) was associated with the serpent (representing Azazel). In fact, the Greek god Apollo was also called Python (See Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man, S.F. Dunlap, 1858 A.D., p.54, 55), a word employed as the name for a genus of snakes. It is also of a most interesting and revealing note the “Sacred Word” of the highdegree Freemasonic “Grand Council of Knights of the East and West” is Abaddon (See The Mysteries of Freemasonry (“as written by Captain William Morgan (for which exposé Capt. Morgan was assassinated), by George R. Crafts,” p. 211).

In Tablet II of The Emerald Tablets of Thoth from Egypt it is said concerning Azazel and his group of fallen angels: “the Children of Light (the shining ones/the fallen angels) looked down on the world.

Seeing the children of men (humans)…Down they descended and created bodies, taking the semblance of men as their own…living in the world (on our Earth) as children of men (incarnated),” being “like and yet unlike the children of men,” and whereas this particular group of angels who have the appearance of men live in “a dwelling place, far ‘neath the earth crust” beneath the surface of the Earth. Azazel and his group of angels are therein identified as “Custodians and watchers” of men, who are “guiding, directing the destiny of man.” These angels (as well as Satan’s group of rebel angels who hide themselves in the seas) manipulate people in positions of power in the nations of our World.

The New Earth, from whence comes the angels, the creation of which is related in Genesis 2:4-25, is located amongst the seven stars of the Pleiades group. Amos 5:8 tells us God created the Pleiades, where the New Earth is located. The Pleiades grouping of stars are again mentioned in Job 9:9 and Job 38:31 as being specifically God’s creation. The Pleiades are located in the astrological group of stars in the sign of Taurus. Taurus is represented as a bull, a common symbol for an angel. According to Freemasonic teachings, being derived from the teachings of the ancient Mysteries, the Pleiades are seven stars situated at the upper end of a great Sacred Ladder. If we assume that our Earth is at the bottom of this ladder, and the angels move up and down it, as we esoterically discover from the Biblical parable of Jacob’s Ladder (See Genesis 28:12), this would throw a light upon the Freemason’s own esoteric knowledge that the New Earth, from where the incarnated angels came to our Earth, is located in the Pleiades group of stars. Indeed, in some versions of the story of the angels’ descent to our Earth, the angels are said to descend down “Jacob’s Ladder.” Jacob’s Ladder is the name by which is known the route traversed by the angels in their descent from the New Earth in the Pleiades group to our own Earth. For this reason, the Egyptian god Horus, who represented Azazel, is called the “traverser of the two earths” (See The Origin and Evolution of Freemasonry by Albert Churchward (Author’s Note: There is a pre-Inca mythology which holds their gods had come from the Pleiades constellation, and the name of the Hindu god Kartikeya translates as ‘Him of the Pleiades’ (Kartikeya was also known as ‘Thamzil Kaduvul,’ meaning, ‘God of Tamils.’ Compare Thamzil to Thamuz/Tammuz, from whence is derived this name. These are all names/titles used to denote the angel Azazel). Additionally of an interesting note, according to the Pleiades selection from the Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology: “Early in the twentieth century, the leader (33° Freemason Charles Taze Russell) of the group (this group is The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society) later known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses suggested that one of the stars of the Pleiades was actually the throne of the Lord God Jehova.” As pointed out by S.F. Dunlap of the American Oriental Society in his book Vestiges of the Spirit History of Man p.25 (1858 A.D.), the god “Baal = Jehova.” The Semitic god Baal (which word translates as ‘lord’), the 850 prophets of whom the lone prophet Elijah famously slew as piously recounted in the Biblical First Book of Kings (See 1Kings 18:19,40), represented none other than the fallen angel Azazel, who was also known as Jehova). Compare the word Jehovah to Jove (another name for the Roman god Jupiter), who also represented Azazel. A watchtower is an esoteric symbol of Azazel, as it is from such an exalted edifice the Greek god Bacchus (who likewise represented Azazel) was said to watch over the grape vines from which he made his wine).

(For a detailed account of the events which lead to the coming of these angels to our Earth, see Evildoer Added to Evildoer: The Story of Satan, Azazel and the Rebellious Angels by John of the Gentiles. The story of the angels may also be found in Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles. While certain materials may be found to overlap, each book is designed as a unique, stand-alone informative body of material)

Chapter 2. The Mysteries of Azazel “Many supposed mythological traditions of ancient Greece have been demonstrated to have had a foundation in fact and history; and we may assume that such is possibly the case to a far greater extent than has yet been proven, and that this applies to the traditions of other localities and people as well…” - Solar Biology (Hiram E. Butler, 1887 A.D.) Azazel and his angels were worshipped as gods by the children of men, which is to say, by mankind, here on Earth. Vulcan, one such name under which the Romans knew the angel Azazel, was worshipped in volcanic caves on the Aegean island of Hephaestus (an island so named after one of the Greek titles for Azazel) in reverence to Azazel’s entrapment within the earth. Azazel’s entrapment within his cherub within the earth is also memorialized in the story of Typhon, which represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, being entrapped

by Zeus, the name by which the Greeks worshipped God, who was said to have crushed him with a mountain, an act representative of the comet strike which imprisoned Azazel in his cherub beneath the earth.

It must be noted the word ‘Typhon’ is an anagram of the word ‘python,’ the name for a genus of snakes found in Africa and Asia.

This is in deference to the general location of the Genesis serpent Azazel’s entombment within the earth!

‘Manes’ is the Roman word and ‘mani/man’ the Etruscan word for Azazel and the angels who accompanied him to the Earth way way back in the antediluvian day in 5000 years B.C. In the Etruscan religious belief system, the mani (Latin: manes) are the divine souls of ancestors (to whom they believed they were related) who were said to be located in an underworld called Aita (a cognate of the word ‘Amenti’), a place referred to as being ‘hinthial’ which literally means they are “underneath,” which is to say, they are located underneath us in the earth below us. Indeed, such “legends” are present in nearly every ancient culture and religious system.

According to Freemasonic and Qabbalistic legend, Hiram, the builder of Solomon’s Temple, was said to have plunged through the Molten Sea right into the center of the Earth where at that time dwelt 19

someone said to be the first worker in metals. This legend is in reference to the angel Azazel, who first taught men to work in metals (See 1Enoch VIII.1), and of Azazel’s subsequent imprisonment within the earth. The Molten Sea (Lake of Fire) therein represents “God’s Cauldron,” the sea of molten rock in which Azazel was encased. The Molten Sea, the brazen laver of the Mosaic ritual, was a major architectural element in King Solomon’s Temple (See 1Kings 7:25), it representing the place of Azazel’s interment within the Earth.

The story of Azazel and his angels surviving their ordeal and being imprisoned within the earth and how they may in fact be contacted is a major theme in the realm of magic. The University of Oxford educated 33° Freemason Aleister Crowley (1875-1947 A.D.) knew the story of the angels’ interment within the earth to be a historical truth, it being the basis of all magical societies such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and of Crowley’s own creation, the Argenteum Astrum (A∴A∴) (Latin for Silver Star, named in honor of the blazing star Sirius, a star with which Azazel was occultly associated). The 19th Century Freemason, magician/astrologer Eliphas Levi (1810-1875 A.D.), also continuing magic traditions dating back to ancient Biblical times, speaks of them in his writings, as does the eminent British black-magic practitioner Dr. John Dee (1527-1608 A.D.) of Enochian Magick fame, official of the court of Queen Elizabeth I (Dee was the court astrologer and as such a caster of horoscopes; in his time, astrology and astronomy went hand in hand with ceremonial magic practices; astrologers/astronomers were also sorcerers as a rule. Astronomer Johannes Kepler as well as the stately Galileo were known for casting astrological horoscopes. Astrology was a popular pursuit of the royalty of the period; all members would have a horoscope worked out for them by sorcerer/astrologers/astronomers at the time of their births. And by reason of their association with fallen angels ("Congressus cum daemonis") lay the true reason these men were persecuted by the Church.

It is easy to see how astrology would be of interest to the ruling upper classes of British society as: “A British astrological writer using the pseudonym ‘Astrologus’ stated in 1793 that, from eclipses (especially of the Sun), astrologers could safely predict ‘notable events concerning the rise and fall of governments; the foundation or fall of cities, towns or fortifications—the breach of leagues among princes, the captivity, sorrow or sickness of their miserable subjects; wars, quarrels 20

and tempests; inundations, duels and litigations—religious controversies, and irreligious persecutions among mankind—the death or destruction of cattle, the infidelity of servants and the treachery of friends—the decay of navigation and the loss of shipping…’” - Astrology p.284, Louis MacNeice, 1964 A.D. Dr. John Dee was also held to be the Father of the Rosicrucian secret society. Dee’s personal library (including his books on magic) is currently housed in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford in England where they were no doubt diligently studied by many illustrious attendees such as Aleister Crowley). The grimoire known as the Simon Necronomicon also speaks of the existence of “Ancient Ones” and of their being imprisoned within the earth (according to H.P. Lovecraft in fictional work entitled The Dunwich Horror (1929 A.D.) it was John Dee himself who translated the Simon Necronomicon into English.

However, Jacques Bergier states in Extraterrestrial Visitations from Prehistoric Times to the Present [1973 A.D. English Edition]: “Let’s try to separate truth from fiction. Lovecraft himself wrote me in 1935, and confirmed to many other correspondents as well, that he had invented the Necronomicon in every respect.”). This term was taken from the Egyptian Book of the Dead (See Plate XI B.D. Chap.

CXLVII) which calls Osiris (Azazel/Behemoth) the “Ancient One.” For this reason he is also known as the Old Serpent/the Old Man/the Old One/the Old God, upon whose devotion was based in part the Old Religion, witchcraft, and its associated magic practices). The Egyptian god Ra, who also represented one aspect of the angel Azazel (also known as Azrael for this reason), is likewise called the “Ancient One” [the Old One]. In fact, magic incantations and rituals and the use of magical amulets focus on these beings as protection against them or in hopes of summoning them as servants, as well as soliciting their protection. Such magic incantations were also found amongst the scrolls known as the Dead Sea Scrolls from the Therapeute Essene community of Qumran.

The British Knight of the Order of the Garter Sir Elias Ashmole (1617-1692 A.D.), the English antiquarian whose collection forms the basis of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England, who wrote books on such occult arts as magic (which involves the invocation of these rebellious fallen angels), alchemy and astrology (in his time ceremonial magic and astrology went hand in hand.

Ceremonial magicians invoked fallen angels in magic circles protected by astrological signs and also cast horoscopes for members of nobility) 21

and who like “The Father of Modern Satanism” Aleister Crowley was likewise associated with Oxford University, speaks of Azazel and his imprisoned group of fallen angels in his book, The Way to Bliss, revealing them to be a “Nation (as defined as ‘a group of people’) of Wise-Men (think: Magi/Magicians), dwelling…underground…” (In Egypt, Azazel was known as Tahuti, the god of magic, the Chief Seer the foremost of magicians). Oxford University (as well as its associated Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic group) has long purveyed the esoteric knowledge concerning the fallen angels to the privileged and upper crust of British society, many of whom are Freemasons. Many are/were in contact with and work/worked in furtherance of the aims of these fallen angels. It must be noted that the Rosicrucian alchemist and ceremonial magician Elias Ashmole, a founding member of the Royal Society, was also a high-degree Freemason (in fact, the Royal Society was itself a Freemasonic construct for most of its early members were prominent English Freemasons). The legends concerning the existence of the subterranean angels would most certainly be disseminated amongst the society’s august members, likely oweing its very existence to the selfsame angels themselves, whom they invoked and with whom they were in contact. It must also be noted Royal Society members currently sit on British government committees of a scientific nature.

Notable Foreign Members of the Royal Society have included J. Robert Oppenheimer, “Father of the Atomic Bomb,” and the wise man who made it all possible, nuclear physicist (E=mc ) Albert Einstein himself, who, revealingly enough, as we shall see, had connections to an infamous magic-practicing-fallen-angel-invoking group located in the sanguine environs of beautiful sun-soaked Pasadena, California in the good ol’ U.S. of A. “The Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge, known simply as the Royal Society, is a learned society for science, and is possibly the oldest such society in existence. Founded in November 1660, it was granted a Royal Charter by King Charles II as the “Royal Society of London.” The Society was initially an extension of the “Invisible College” with the founders intending it to be a place of research and discussion. The Society today acts as a scientific advisor to the British government, receiving a parliamentary grant-in-aid. The Society acts as the UK’s Academy of Sciences, and funds research fellowships and scientific startup companies…The Royal Society started as a group of approximately 12 scientists (one might argue 13, the traditional number of witches in a traditional English witches coven!), known as the Invisible College, which met at a variety of locations, including the houses of their members and Gresham College. Members at particular 22

times were John Wilkins, Jonathan Goddard, Robert Hooke (Fellow of the Royal Society), Christopher Wren (Freemason;; builder of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London; Fellow of the Royal Society), William Petty and Robert Boyle (alchemist/chemist and Grand Master of the Priory of Sion). The group discussed the “new science,” as promoted by Francis Bacon in his New Atlantis, from approximately 1645 onwards (they studied Hermetic science, alchemy/chemistry, Rosicrucianism, ceremonial magic [also known as ritual magic], ‘medical’ magic, witchcraft, ancient mysteries such as astrology, astronomy, etc.)…The group varied over time, eventually splitting into two distinct factions in 1638 due to travel distances; the London Society and the Oxford Society. The Oxford Society was more active owing to the fact that many members of the overall College (Oxford University) lived there, and was established as The Philosophical Society of Oxford, run under a set of rules still retained by the Bodleian Library (most ‘philosophy’ books of the time are written on the subject of alchemy, astrology, magic, pagan myths/mysteries, etc. The early Christian author Tertullian once wrote “philosophers are the patriarchs of heresy.” Indeed, The Bible itself (Colossians 2:8) warns: “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” At any rate, England retained anti-witchcraft laws called Witchcraft Acts which forbade all such magic practices upon its books in one degree or another often mandating the death or imprisonment of the offender from the year 1542 A.D. until the ultimate repeal of the Witchcraft Acts in 1951 A.D.)…There are currently four Royal Fellows: Prince Philip, Prince Edward, the Princess Royal and Prince William of Wales (Wales, it must be mentioned, is/was the bastion of the magic group known as the Ancient Order of Druids, the word ‘druid’ being derived from the word ‘Duidain’ where Azazel is entrapped)…” – Wikipedia: The Royal Society. A wise man will grasp the full import of these facts. Another Fellow and one-time President of the Royal Society of note (which he joined in 1672 A.D.) was the Lucasian professor at Cambridge University Sir Isaac Newton (he held Lucasian Chair of Mathematics from 1669 – 1687 A.D.). Newton is famous for discovering the law of gravity (during his studies at Cambridge U. he became well versed in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle). Newton at the time was the purported Rosicrucian Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, as well as being a philosopher/mathematician/alchemist/astronomer (astronomers were as a rule ceremonial magicians and astrologers). Of a slightly less than interesting though nothing short of significant note, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron majored in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University (“Paul the blessed apostle, my beloved brethren, writing to the Corinthians who inhabit Laconian Greece, spake saying, “The wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of God” [1 Cor. iii, 19], and he said not amiss. For it seems to me to have taken its beginning from the rebellion of the angels; for which cause the philosophers put forth their doctrines…” - Derision of Gentile Philosophers (Hermias). Political as well as economic doctrines included, as we shall later learn) (“Bro (Freemasonic Brother) Hughan, of Dunscore, Torquay, Devon, England, ventures in the History by the 80 Luminaries (“Among the 80 Luminaries, 15 belong to the British Empire, one is a Doctor of Oxford and Bishop of Iowa”), pp. 30, 31, to declare that the ‘New Atlantis’ seems to be and probably is the key to the modern rituals of Freemasonry (warmed over Rosicrucianism).” - Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry (L. Fouquet, 1898 A.D.). Indeed, Thomas de Quincey 23

(1785-1859 A.D.), who attended Worcester College in Oxford, England, professed modern masonry (Freemasonry) to be nothing more than a modified form of Rosicrucianism. By the definition proffered in the Rosicrucian work entitled Cosmology by Franz Hartmann (Boston 1888 A.D., p.7), a Rosicrucian is a Hermetic philosopher. The Secret Societies of All Ages and Countries p.225 (Heckethorne, 1897 A.D.) states: “In 1646 Elias Ashmole, William Lilly, Dr. Thomas Wharton, George Wharton, Dr. J. Pearson, and others formed a Rosicrucian society in London, practically to carry out a scheme propounded in (Francis) Bacon’s New Atlantis (the plan was to make the Utopian New Atlantis arise in the Americas!)…Some of the members of this society were Freemasons, hence they were enabled to hold their meetings in Mason’s Hall, Mason’s Alley, Basingall Street.” Another such interesting philosophical society of note was to be found in colonial America, also the creation of a Freemason of the very highest degree: “The American Philosophical Society is a discussion group founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin (b. 1706 - d. 1790 A.D.) as an offshoot of his earlier club, the Junto…From the beginning, the Society attracted some of America’s finest minds. Early members included (long-time friend and fellow high-degree Freemason) George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine…James Madison…and John Marshall. The Society also drew philosophers from other nations as members, including…the Marquis de Lafayette, (and) Baron von Steuben…” – Wikipedia: American Philosophical Society. Subversive Freemasonic revolutionaries, all.

According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology: “Franklin associated with Rosicrucians and became a Freemason in February 1730, a member of the Lodge of the Nine Muses (also known as Les Neuf Sœurs, French for ‘The Nine Sisters’), which was said to have influenced the French Revolution” (he was also an associate of the Institute of France which was also founded by this very same Freemasonic lodge). Modern day Juntos of note include: “There are several modern-day Juntos modeled on Franklin's original meeting operating today. Hedge fund manager Victor Niederhoffer has been running the New York City Junto since 1985. Meeting monthly, the New York Junto focuses on libertarianism, Objectivism (the philosophy of Ayn Rand), and investing (the philosophy of Ayn Rand tends to be anti-Christian in nature (of an interesting, if not related note, as Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey himself muses: "I give people Ayn Rand with trappings," that his brand of Satanism is simply "Ayn Rand’s philosophy with ceremony and ritual added." Indeed, according to the Church of Satan’s website: "Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand, is an acknowledged source for some of the Satanic philosophy as outlined in The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey."). Ayne Rand herself has acknowledged Aristotle as being her greatest influence. Interestingly enough, from Clement of Alexandria (Stromata Book VI Chapter 6) we learn the Greek philosopher “Aristotle (384 – 322 BC) says that all men are provided with daemons, that attend on them during the time they are in the body.” Particularly, I might add, those men of a philosophical bent. At any rate, Aristotle was a student of Plato (Aristotle’s flawed astronomical observations were repudiated by the astrologer Galileo (who like Aristotle was also a caster of horoscopes, as well as by definition a ceremonial magician) in 1610 A.D. with the publishing of his treatise entitled The Star Messenger), and Plato was a well-known practitioner of the so-called “white” form of magic: “...magic has two forms. One consists wholly in the operations and powers of demons, and consequently this 24

appears to me, as God is my witness, an execrable and monstrous thing. The other proves, when thoroughly investigated, to be nothing else but the highest realization of natural philosophy. The Greeks noted both these forms. However, because they considered the first form wholly undeserving the name magic they called it goeteia, reserving the term mageia, to the second, and understanding by it the highest and most perfect wisdom. The term “magus” in the Persian tongue, according to Porphyry, means the same as “interpreter” and “worshipper of the divine” in our language…The first (goeteia) is the most deceitful of arts;; the second (mageia), a higher and holier philosophy (note the association of magic, mageia, with philosophy). The former is vain and disappointing; the later, firm, solid and satisfying. The practitioner of the first always tries to conceal his addiction, because it always rebounds to shame and reproach, while the cultivation of the second, both in antiquity and at almost all periods, has been the source of the highest renown and glory in the field of learning (magic was a subject well-studied at Oxford University, where “the first recorded chancellor of the University, Robert Grosseteste, accepted astronomy-astrology as the supreme science and held that hardly any human activity, whether it was the planting of vegetables or the practicing of alchemy, could dispense with the astrologer’s advice” (See Astrology p.138, Louis MacNeice, 1964 A.D.). In fact, during the Middle Ages universities such as that at Oxford offered degrees in Astrology, and in those days astrologers were exclusively sorcerers, the famed seer Nostradamus providing a notable example. And indeed, Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanac was by definition an astrological almanac). No philosopher of any worth, eager in pursuit of the good arts, was ever a student of the former (goeteia), but to learn the latter (mageia), Pythagoras, Empedocles, Plato and Democritus crossed the seas.…” - Oration on the Dignity of Man by Count Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Even practitioners of white magic (mageia), as we shall learn, invoke rebellious fallen angels). Nicholas Vardy has been running the London Junto since 2005 (Nicholas A. Vardy is Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Global Guru Capital, Harvard classmate of future U.S. President Barack Obama, and Executive Director of the London Junto). The London Junto meets monthly in the heart of London's hedge-fund community at the Lansdowne Club, where Franklin signed the Treaty of Paris with Lord Shelburne. It attracts some of the leading global investment minds of today...”) (Freemasons/Masons, like their Egyptian mystery school counterparts, considered initiates to be “sons of the widow,” which is the same thing to say, Sons of (the goddess) Isis (Azazel’s human wife), of whom it was written was left widowed by the “death” (earthen imprisonment) of her husband, Osiris (Behemoth/Azazel). For this reason and in a like way America’s Freemasonic “Founding Fathers,” philosophically-versed subversive revolutionaries, styled themselves the “Sons of Liberty,” which is the same thing to say, sons of the Roman goddess Liberty/Libertas, who represented Azazel’s human wife. Interestingly enough: “In 1731, (Benjamin) Franklin was initiated into the local Masonic (Freemasonic) Lodge. He became Grand Master (leader of the lodges within a Masonic jurisdiction, presiding over a Grand Lodge governing body) in 1734, indicating his rapid rise to prominence in Pennsylvania. That same year, he edited and published the first Masonic book in the Americas, a reprint of James Anderson's Constitutions of the Free-Masons. Franklin remained a Freemason for the rest of his life…In 1743, Franklin (by definition a ‘philosopher’) founded the American Philosophical Society…In recognition of his work with electricity, Franklin 25

received the Royal Society’s Copley Medal in 1753 and in 1756 he became one of the few 18th century Americans to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (he was even one of a group of men formed by the Royal Society to evaluate the Freemason/Martinist Anton Mesmer’s theory on Animal Magnetism)…In 1762, Oxford University awarded Franklin an honorary doctorate (Franklin himself lived in England from 1757-1762 A.D. as the agent of the Pennsylvania Assembly)…” Wikipedia: Benjamin Franklin. During his stay in England, Benjamin Franklin was a noted attendee of Sir Francis Dashwood’s Hellfire Club in 1758 A.D: “The club motto was Fais ce que tu voudras (Do what thou wilt), a philosophy of life associated with (Renaissance humanist philosopher) François Rabelais’ fictional abbey (said to have been built by a giant named Gargantua) at Thélème and later used by (the Freemasonic ceremonial magician) Aleister Crowley (thereby paying tribute to this group)…According to (English author and Member of Parliament) Horace Walpole (1717-1797 A.D.), the members’ ‘practice was rigorously pagan: Bacchus (a god who represented Azazel) and Venus (a goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife) were the deities to whom they almost publicly sacrificed…’”

– Wikipedia: Hellfire Club (when one does what he wills more often than not this will allow him to become ‘Overshadowed’ by the fallen angels). Dashwood (later Chancellor of the Exchequer; a close friend of and a political adviser to King George III who is famously mentioned in the American Declaration of Independence) had retrofitted an old church in the finest mystery religion tradition whereat he held his Hellfire Club meetings within its sinuous subterranean chambers, mimicking the mysteries of the ancients. Benjamin Franklin was also United States Ambassador to France (1778–1785 A.D.) and of Sweden (1782–1783 A.D.). Note Franklin’s Rosicrucian, Royal Society, Oxford University and high-degree Masonry/Freemasonry (as well as English Puritanical) associations. All of these organizations have a long tradition of magic practices associated with the invocation of rebellious fallen angels. The Puritan preacher Cotton Mather (1663-1728 A.D.) was an old family friend whom Benjamin Franklin has cited as having had a major influence on his life. Cotton Mather himself was known to have mixed magic practices into a rather curious brand of Christianity, writing several literary works concerning witchcraft in the colonies and even condoning its use in certain circumstances, this being, in actuality, despite the Roman Catholic Church’s best and bloody efforts, a common European practice. Benjamin Franklin’s election in 1751 A.D. to the Pennsylvania Assembly where he became a leader in the long-dominant Quaker party began his nearly 40 years as a public official. In Franklin’s day, mageia (white magic) was considered to be a ‘good and laudible science,’ being as it were the realm of scientists and philosophers, as Franklin most famously was.

Benjamin Franklin has a long association with magic and magic-associated groups, he surprisingly enough being a prominant player in the greater Theosophical Movement into which we shall delve more completely. The state of Pennsylvania which Franklin called his home with its influx of continental European immigrants was to become importantly enough, the land of the Pow-wow: “Pow-wow is a system of American folk religion and magic associated with the Pennsylvania Dutch…Its name comes from the book Pow-wows, or, The Long Lost Friend, written

by John George Hohman (German-American printer, book seller and compiler of collections of herbal-remedies, magical healings, and magic charms) and first published in German as Der Lange Verborgene Freund in 1820. Despite the 26

appropriation of "pow-wow," taken from an Algonquian word for a gathering of medicine men (a group also known as shamans, practitioners of magic who seek signs from a ‘spirit guide,’ the group similar I might add to a witches coven), the collection is actually a very traditional collection of European magic spells, recipes, and folk remedies of a type familiar to students of folklore. The formulas mix prayers, magic words, and simple rituals to cure simple domestic ailments and rural troubles.” - Wikipedia: Pow-wow. Pennsylvanians are notably known for employing hex signs (also known as ‘barn stars’) as protective magical charms (a hex is by definition a magical spell (derived from the German word for a witch, namely, Hexe), usually with malevolent purposes such as a curse. In this soupy magical atmosphere developed the Freemasonic Slumbering Groundhog Lodge of Quarryville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and the well-known traditional magic ritual it spawned. We will return to this subject later. The state of Pennsylvania importantly enough played a key role in the American Civil War) (Notable quote from those in the know: “While there has never been a Church of Satan before (prior to 1966 A.D.), there have been groups dedicated to similar principles. In the mid-18th century, Sir Francis Dashwood formed a group known as the Hell Fire Club. Several of the most influential men in England, at the height of England’s power, gathered together for Satanic feasting, reveling and debauchery, while shaping the destiny of England and the American colonies. Many historians have minimized the group, saying they were little more than fops and dandies, even though the then Prince of Wales, the (British) Prime Minister, and the Archbishop of Canterbury (the leader of the Church of England) were included in their number. Benjamin Franklin’s association with Dashwood and other members of the group helped lay the foundations for the emerging nation of the United States. (Church of Satan founder Anton) LaVey maintains, ‘If people knew of the role the Hell Fire Club played in Benjamin Franklin’s structuring of America, it could suggest changes like: ‘One nation, under Satan,’ or ‘United Satanic America.’” - The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey. That America was established as a Christian nation rooted in Biblical principles (such as argued by Francis A. Schaeffer in A Christian Manifesto, which belief being the main principle in Dominionism) is a fairy tale in itself, unless of course one counts the pagan principles encountered in The Bible, such as the Israeli King Saul’s consultation with the spiritist Witch of Endor, who at his request conjures the spirit of the deceased prophet Samuel (or so he thought it to be) during the séance recorded in 1Samuel 28:3-25. One must beware of such doublespeak)

The story of the angel Azazel has been faithfully passed down from generation to generation in many forms in virtually every country in nearly every period in ancient written history. One fact that everybody has danced around was the fact that the angel Azazel was alive and well and entrapped within the earth. In fact, most religious/magic rituals of the ancients constituted the cultus of the rebellious angel Azazel. The arcane Canaanite funerary marzeah was a religious feast instituted by a funerary cult to commemorate the interment of Azazel and his angels who like the dead are entombed within the earth. This ritual is related to the Grecian practice of wailing for the ‘death’ of Adonis (in the Orphic hymn To Adonis, 27

Adonis is said to be “much…wept for”), while the ‘death’ of the god Attis was mourned during the Phrygian Mysteries, as likewise the Egyptians also lamented the ‘death’ of Osiris (Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XIII B.D. Chapter XVIII speaks of Isis lamenting the death of Osiris. In regard to this legend, Freemasons call themselves “sons of the widow” Isis), all of which were the Greek equivalent of the Babylonian/Assyrian/Phoenician (Semitic) practice of weeping for Tammuz (“A fate of woe and wailing”). All of these gods of the nations were various representations of the angel Azazel. Accounting for ancient calendar conversions to ascertain its modern day equivalent, the ritual practice of weeping for Tammuz persisted for an entire lunar month encompassing 28 days commencing at the time of the summer solstice on June 21 and continuing until July 19, commemorating the day of the angel Azazel’s prophesied future return. The mourners fervently chanted: “He (Tammuz/Azazel) has gone, he has gone to the bosom (which is to say, to the interior) of the earth” (See Myths of Babylon and Assyria McKenzie 1915 A.D.), this being recited in reference to Azazel’s imprisonment within the earth.

Another such ancient liturgy devoted to the worship of Azazel likewise laments: “Tammuz (Azazel)…Aralu (the ‘underworld’ in which Azazel is entrapped) has seized him away…The flood has taken him away…the flood seized thee into Hades (beneath the earth).” - Tammuz and Ishtar p. 15 (S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D.). An Elamitic liturgy likewise laments: “The flood has taken Tammuz (Azazel)” (See p.117 Tammuz and Ishtar (S. Langdon, 1914 A.D.) in reference to the Biblical flood of course).

The Babylonian “myth” as set forth in The Descent of Ishtar also speaks of Azazel’s imprisonment within the earth. Ishtar is the Babylonian name for the angel Azazel’s human wife. She is imprisoned with him: “…the house (a reference to Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth) which none leave who have entered it…the house wherein the entrants are bereft of light…where they see no light, residing in darkness…where over their door and bolt is spread dust…Ishtar has gone down to the nether world, she has not come up.” - The Descent of Ishtar Indeed, most black magic systems are based on Sumerian teachings regarding the rebellious fallen angels.

The British occultist/practitioner of black magic Aleister Crowley alludes to this fact when he says: “Our work is therefore historically authentic;; the 28

rediscovery of the Sumerian Tradition.” The Sumerian’s knew Azazel’s human wife as Inanna. Thus, in a similar Sumerian version of the story of Ishtar entitled Inanna’s Descent to the Underworld, we are told “Inanna…descended to the underworld” from where she is later said to emerge. In fact, the land of Sumer itself is named after Azazel. Sumer is a cognate of the name of the Celtic god Suman/Saman, a god who represented Azazel (from Saman comes the word ‘shaman.’ Compare also to the word Haman. From Vestiges of the Spirit History of Man p.314 (S.F. Dunlap, 1858 A.D.) we learn Haman was a name of the god Baal, who is Azazel). The land of Sumer is the land of Azazel from whence Azazel ruled (and yet still rules) the Earth!

In the Babylonian work, Nergal and Ereshkigal, we find that the storm god Nergal, a representation of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, a symbol which is often used interchangeably to represent the angel Azazel, went “down” to a “dark house,” “to the house where those who enter cannot leave,” “to the house where those who enter are deprived of light, where dust is their food (compare to Genesis 3:14 where God tells the serpent, who symbolizes Azazel, “dust you shall eat.” Serpents are subterranean dwellers, hence the serpent analogy in regards to Azazel who resides in his subterranean abode), clay their bread,” “where they see no light” and “dwell in darkness” (compare also to the Quiche Mayan serpent god Votan’s subterranean “House of Darkness” wherein dwelt the incarnate “guardians” (See America’s Assignment with Destiny p.149 by Manly P. Hall)). The “house” in this story represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth wherein Azazel resides and in which he is entrapped within the dark recesses of the earth (Ereshkigal, whose name translates as “great lady under earth,” is Azazel’s human wife who is entrapped along with Azazel within his cherub beneath the earth). This story is also echoed by The Epic of Gilgamesh, wherein is described a “house where none leave who have entered it…where dust is their fare and clay their food…they see no light, residing in darkness…in the House of Dust…” The “House of Dust” (also therein called the “House of Darkness”) is none other than Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, imprisoned by God within the Earth (the name Gilgamesh, variably spelled Gilgamig, is but another name for Tammuz (See Tammuz and Ishtar p. 40 (S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D.). This story is also recounted in 29

The Magan Text (Magan = Egypt) of the infamous grimoire known as the Simon Necronomicon which similarly recounts the occurrence of the goddess Ishtar’s descent to “the House of No Return…where bowls of dust are the food,” figuratively speaking of their entombment within the earth, of course. The fallen angels it should be noted are also known as lares, or ‘house-spirits.’

The Aztec god Mictlantecuhtli, meaning, “lord of Mictlan,” or, lord of the underworld, was one such name under which the Aztecs worshipped Azazel/Behemoth and was so named in association with the Aztec people’s knowledge of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth.

Mictlantecuhtli and his wife, Mictecacihuatl, were similarly said to dwell in a windowless house in Mictlan, Mictlan being the Aztec word for the underworld. The windowless house in the underworld within which this god and goddess resides is Azazel’s cherub Behemoth in which they are entrapped. The similarities between Aztec beliefs and Babylonian beliefs are striking-- the reason for the similarities being they speak of the very same episode in human history.

Consider the following selection from the Essenic Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran which also speaks of Azazel’s entrapment in his cherub within the earth. Resheph is a Semitic name for Azazel: “A Psalm of David…against Resheph (against Azazel)…You are darkness, not light, wickedness, not righteousness…in Hades most deep (within the earth), enclosed in doors of bronze (a reference to the doors of his metallic cherub)…” - 11Q11 Column 4 Lines 44,7,8,9 Resheph, who is Azazel, is the Rephan mentioned in Acts 7:4243, one of “the host (angels) of heaven” of which it was said the Israelite people unjustly worshipped, instead of recognizing their true God as King, “the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts (the God of the angelic hosts)” (See Amos 5:26-27), for which impious indiscretion God sent the Israelis into captivity to the land of Babylon where resided their god Rephan (Azazel) entrapped within the earth beneath the parched windblown Babylonian sands. Since the Israelis wanted Azazel as their king (mlk/moloch) over them instead of God, God was determined to give him to them! Poetic justice indeed!

In the Assyrian work, Lament of the Flutes for Tammuz, 30

Tammuz being an Assyrian name for Azazel, we are told that “Tammuz (Azazel)…the consort of the queen of heaven (a title by which his human wife was honored)…to the nether world has taken his way.” Therein he is called “the exalted one of the nether world,” a reference to his earthly entrapment. The name of the Irish goddess, Brigid, a title the Irish bestowed upon Azazel’s human wife, also means “exalted one.” The female consort of a god was often named after the god to whom she belonged. Brigid was known to many Romans as Brittania. Britain (England) derives its name from her.

The Roman Secular Games (in Latin, Ludi Saeculares, originally Ludi Terentini) were held in commemoration of Azazel’s and his human wife’s interment within the earth. The games were held in honor of the Greek god Dis Pater (representing Azazel) and the Greek goddess Proserpina (representing Azazel’s human wife) in commemoration of their entrapment within Azazel’s cherub within the earth. In conjunction with these games, a round altar (symbolic of a wheel/disk shaped cherub) dedicated to the god and goddess, the “Altar of Dis Pater and Proserpina,” which lay interred in the ground at the site of the games was unearthed at the start of the games and subsequently reburied at the end of them, an act symbolizing Azazel and his human wife’s entrapment within the earth and of their subsequent anticipated release.

Related to this was the festival called the Consualia, or Consuales Ludi, so named after the Roman god Consus. The Roman god Consus, the god of councils, represented Azazel in his former position of Councilor in God’s hierarchy (head of the Twenty-Four Elders/Councilors), a position he held prior to his rebellion in heaven.

The Roman temple dedicated to the god Consus was located underground. Consus’ altar was buried within the earth and unearthed during the Consualia festival held in his honor, an act commemorating Azazel’s imprisonment and later release from his subterranean prison (there was also a sacrifice to Consus held on the Julian calendar date of July 7. When adjusted to the Gregorian Calendar by adding 13 days, this date is closer to the Gregorian calendar date of July 19, which is the date of Azazel’s future release in the year 2016 A.D.).

The consort of Consus/Azazel was variously called Ops/Opis/Opus, and represented the human wife of the angel Azazel. A festival in her honor, called the Opiconsivia/Opalia, was held after the Consualia festival. She derives this name from the fact Azazel was also known 31

as ‘Ophis.’ In Book III Chapter 18 of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s Of Occult Philosophy he mentions how “Pherecydes the Syrian describeth the fall of the Devils and that Ophis, that is the Devillish Serpent (Azazel), was the head of that rebellious Army” of angels who revolted against God. According to Plutarch (46-120 A.D.) in Isis and Osiris, the death of the Egyptian god Osiris (a god who represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth but who is also synonymous with the angel Azazel himself) was celebrated on Athyr 17 on the Egyptian Calendar, a date which corresponds to the Julian Calendar date of November 13 (the Julian Calendar was instituted by Julius Caesar in 46 A.D.). This date on the Gregorian calendar (introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 A.D.) became October 31st. It was taught in the mysteries concerning Osiris (who represents Behemoth/Azazel) that he was in fact drowned, a legend which alludes to events surrounding Azazel’s entombment within the earth at the time of the Flood in the days of Noah. The ‘death’ of Osiris was celebrated on Athyr 17 during the Festival of Inventio Osidiris (“As to the festivities, in which those mysteries were celebrated, we find that on the 17th of the month Athyr (the month Tammuz) the images of Osiris were enclosed in a coffin or ark: on the 18th was the search; and on the 19th was the finding.” – The Dionysian Artificers).

Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XII B.D. Chap. XVIII speaks of: “Osiris (Behemoth/Azazel), lord of Re-stau, and of the great company of the gods (read: angels) who are in the netherworld beside Osiris (inside Azazel’s cherub Behemoth).” Re-stau represents the place of their under earth entrapment. Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XII B.D. Chap. XVIII likewise speaks of the “godlike rulers who are in Re-stau…the followers of Horus (Azazel).” Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XIV B.D. Chap. XVIII states the “great godlike rulers in Re-stau are Horus (who is Azazel), Osiris (who represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth), and Isis (Azazel’s human wife).” It must be mentioned that another spelling of the name of the god Ra is ‘Re.’ ‘Re’ is the prefix of the word ‘Re-stau.’ Re-stau, like the god Ra, represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth (also, compare the word ‘stau’ to the word ‘star,’ a common symbol of a cherub and its associated angel). Ra’s star/Re-stau represents Azazel’s cherub! Azazel was also known as ‘Sheps,’ which is a cognate of ‘Sheol’ wherein he is entrapped. Re-Sheps thereby becomes ‘Resheph.’ As he is also the 32

god ‘An,’ Resheph-An becomes ‘Rephan.’

“Let us pray. Hear us Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God; and graciously send Your Holy Angel from heaven to watch over, to cherish, to protect, to abide with, and to defend all who dwell in this house. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.” - Ordinary of the Mass, An English Translation of the Missale Romanum, a Medieaval Mass in the Roman Rite of the Roman Catholic Church (1962 edition of the Tridentine Ordo) Author’s note: Designed to be used as a Christian substitute for pagan magical invocations or directly related thereto

Chapter 3. Magic To truly understand the story of the fallen angel Azazel one must study the practice with which he is associated, namely, Magic.

“I wish to explain to you whence the worship of idols began in this world…the beginning was in this wise. Certain angels (Azazel’s group of angels), having left the course of their proper order, began to favor the vices of men, and in some measure to lend unworthy aid to their lust, in order that by these means they might indulge their own pleasures the more; and then, that they might not seem to be inclined of their own accord to unworthy services, taught men that demons (read: angels) could, by certain arts—that is, by magical invocations—be made to obey men.” - Pseudo-Clementine Book IV Chapter XXVI (The worship of demons is called ‘demonolatry’) (Zohar 3:208a likewise attributes Azazel (Aza’el) and his angels for the introduction of the knowledge of the secrets of the magic arts to mankind, as does The Book of Enoch)

One example of such a magical invocation (by definition a magic spell) which relates the dependence of the success of magic spells on such demons/fallen angels is contained in the Mithraic “Great Magic Papyrus of Paris.” After setting forth what one must do in preparation, we are told: “I have not found a greater spell than this in the world. Ask the god (the demon/angel) for what you want, and he will give it to you.” Condemning such pagan magic practices, the Christian Alexandrian scholar and theologian Origen in his Contra Celsus, Book 6 Chapter XXXIX tells us “those who employ the arts of magic and sorcery…invoke the barbarous names of demons.” The Biblical King Nimrod is described as being a “great magician” “who took up with magical practices” such as instituted by these angels (See The Clementine Homilies Homily IX Chapter IV). According to legend, the teachings of the Kabalah were revealed to mankind by the 34

angels.

The rebellious angels known as jinn are also called shedim.

Some shedim are invoked during Kabalistic magic ceremonies such as was most famously the golem of Rabbi Yehuda Loevy. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as benevolent shedim. Aleister Crowley, a practitioner of Magick (which he held to be “the true science of the Magi”), invoked the shedu Azazel under the guise of Choronzon (which means ‘Chaos’), the Dweller in the Abyss (shedu is the singular form of the plural shedim). In Arabian countries the jinn (genies), who represent Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels, are likewise associated with magic.

Arab magicians are called Muqarribun, their traditions predating Islam itself. Through their use of magic, the Muqarribun sought to control the jinn who they knew to be the rebellious angels of God in order to exploit them to their advantage. Spells were employed in an effort to control these jinn and to enslave them and even as protection against them (some also solicited their protection). The Egyptians had practicing magicians as well (See Exodus 7:11. Jannes and Jambres are the names of two Egyptian magicians who acted in opposition to Moses. See 2Timothy 3:8), as did the Babylonians (See Daniel 2:10)). A number of the Dead Sea scrolls of the Essenes found at Qumran contained magic spells (some scholars, such as the French author Edouard Schuré (1841-1929 A.D.) who influenced the beliefs of the German founder of Anthroposophy Rudolph Steiner, believed Jesus to be an Essene). The three wise men, the kings of the east, were Persian Zoroastrian Magi who visited Jesus at his birth (See Matthew 2:1), they also being, as their names suggest, magicians.

Famed ceremonial magician Henry Cornelius Agrippa (1486 1535 A.D.) explains: “Magic is a faculty of wonderful virtue, full of most high mysteries, containing the most profound contemplation of most secret things…Magic comprehends, unites and actuates;; deservedly, therefore, was it by the Ancients esteemed as the highest and most sacred Philosophy. It was, as we find, brought to light by most sage authors and most famous writers, amongst which principally Zamolxis and Zoroaster were so famous that many believed they were the inventors of this Science. Their track Abbaris the Hyperborean, Charmondas, Danigeron, Eudoxus, Hermippus followed. There were also other eminent, choice men, as Mercurius Tresmegistus, 35

Porphyrius, Iamblicus, Plotinus (“Plotinus,” it was said, “knew his demon, and held familiar conversations with him.” - The History of Magic Volume I p.446 (Ennemoser, 1856 A.D.)), Proclus, Dardanus, Orpheus the Thracian, Gog the Grecian, Germa the Babylonian, Apollonius of Tyana. Osthanes also wrote excellently of this Art, whose books being as it were lost, Democritus of Abdera recovered, and set them forth with his own Commentaries. Besides, Pythagoras, Empedocles, Democritus, Plato, and many other renowned Philosophers travelled far by sea to learn this Art; and being returned, published it with wonderful devoutness, esteeming of it as a great secret. Also it is well known that Pythagoras and Plato went to the Prophets of Memphis to learn it, and travelled through almost all Syria, Egypt, Judea, and the Schools of the Chaldeans that they might not be ignorant of the most sacred Memorials and Records of Magic, as also that they might be furnished with Divine things.” - The Philosophy of Natural Magic Chapter II (Henry Cornelius Agrippa) ed. L. W. de Laurence [1913]

According to the Italian Renaissance philosopher Count Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463 – 1494 A.D.) writing in what is considered to be the Renaissance Manifesto and a key document of Humanism, in a document entitled the Oration on the Dignity of Man: “...magic has two forms. One consists wholly in the operations and powers of demons, and consequently this appears to me, as God is my witness, an execrable and monstrous thing. The other proves, when thoroughly investigated, to be nothing else but the highest realization of natural philosophy. The Greeks noted both these forms. However, because they considered the first form wholly undeserving the name magic they called it goeteia (black magic), reserving the term mageia (white magic, also known as High Magic), to the second, and understanding by it the highest and most perfect wisdom. The term “magus” in the Persian tongue, according to Porphyry, means the same as “interpreter” and “worshipper of the divine” in our language…The first (goeteia) is the most deceitful of arts; the second (mageia), a higher and holier philosophy. The former is vain and disappointing; the later, firm, solid and satisfying. The practitioner of the first always tries to conceal his addiction, because it always rebounds to shame and reproach, while the cultivation of the second, both in antiquity and at almost all periods, has been the source of the highest renown and glory in the field of learning. No philosopher of any worth, eager in pursuit of the good arts, was ever a student of the former (goeteia), but to learn 36

the latter (mageia), Pythagoras, Empedocles, Plato and Democritus crossed the seas.…That first form of magic (goeteia) cannot justify any claim to being either an art or a science while the latter (mageia), filled as it is with mysteries, embraces the most profound contemplation of the deepest secrets of things and finally the knowledge of the whole of nature.” (“Renaissance humanism (14th 15th Centuries) saw a resurgence in hermeticism and other NeoPlatonic varieties of ceremonial magic...Alongside the ceremonial magic followed by the better educated were the everyday activities of folk practitioners of magic across Europe, typified by the cunning folk found in Great Britain.” - themiddleages.net: History of Magic. Falling into the category of Renaissance Humanism are the writings and grimoires of German ceremonial magician Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa).

King James the First of England in his Daemonologie (1597 A.D) Book I Chapter III informs us “There are principally two sorts (of magic), whereunto all the parties of that unhappy art are redacted; whereof the one is called Magie or Necromancy, the other Sorcery or Witch-craft…they say, that the witches are servants only, and slaves of the Devil;; but the Necromancers are his masters and commanders.” It must be noted England retained anti-witchcraft laws called Witchcraft Acts which forbade the practice of conjuring/invoking/evoking, witchcraft and sorcery upon its books in one form or another in the British Isles often mandating the death or imprisonment of the offender starting in the year 1542 A.D. until the ultimate repeal of the Witchcraft Acts in 1951 A.D. As the British witch Doreen Valiente, writing circa. 1978 A.D. explains: “The resurgence of the old religion of nature-worship and magic really began in 1951, when the last of the antiquated Witchcraft Acts in Britain was finally repealed…it was largely through the influence of the Spiritualist movement, now widely accepted as respectable, that the final Act was swept away.” – p.13 Witchcraft for Tomorrow.

The repeal of the Witchcraft Acts in Britain in the mid 20th Century A.D. led to a profusion of occult-themed mass-produced published works as previously underground practitioners of magic came out of the proverbial closet (indeed, as Charles G. Leland intimates in the Introduction to his Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling circa. 1891 A.D.: “There is not a town in England or in Europe in which witchcraft is not extensively practiced, although this is done with a secrecy the success of which is of itself a miracle.” Its 37

popularity has never waned). These books included the father of modern Wicca magic Gerald B. Gardner’s High Magic’s Aid (1951 A.D.), Witchcraft Today (1954 A.D.) and The Meaning of Witchcraft (1959 A.D.). Concerning the practice of witchcraft and magic, Gardner himself explains: “The foundation of magical beliefs, of which witchcraft is a form, is that unseen Powers exist (‘powers’ is a Biblical word used to denote ‘angels’), and that by performing the right sort of ritual these Powers (angels) can be contacted and either forced or persuaded to assist one in some way.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft (Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D.). Gardner’s books as well as others written on the subject of magic including The Morning of the Magicians by two French alchemists named Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier (Bergier was in addition a Jewish student of Kabala) led to the 1960’s counterculture revolution in America and England. We will discuss this subject in another chapter later in greater detail.

Magical societies engaging in ceremonial magic practices such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (named in honor of Hermes, a god who represented Azazel) as well as other adherents of Satanism, Thelemic/Theosophic Orders, and New Age movements (Theosophical Society-themes such as those espoused in the writings of Theosophical Society-member Alice Bailey in particular are the fundamental philosophy of New Age teachings) are based in part on the esoteric teachings of Hermetic Qabalah. The Hermetic Qabalah system has many influences including Jewish Kabalism, Gnosticism, pagan mystery religions, Freemasonry, Neo-Platonism, Rosicrucianism, astrology, tarot, tantra, hermeticism, and alchemy.

The high-degree Freemason Aleister Crowley was the Hermetic Qabalah’s most famous adherent, employing a form of ‘black’ Hermetic Magic (classified as ‘goeteia’) in a system he called ‘Magick’ (Author’s note: In formulating his new system of ‘Magick,’ Crowley rewrote the Old Religion’s white magic adage: “If it harms none, do what you will” replacing it with his own more ominous: “Do what you will shall be the whole of the law” to reflect its more malevolent black magick basis). In fact, amongst the most infamous members to be counted amongst the ranks of the group known as the Rosicrucians was Aleister Crowley (pen name of Edward Alexander, 1875-1947 A.D.) himself. Crowley’s writings are cited as the inspiration which compelled Anton Sandor LaVey to write his Satanic Bible and to found the Church of Satan. Anton LaVey’s Church of 38

Satan was founded in 1966 A.D. during the aforementioned 1960s counter-culture revolution in America and Britain spawned by the repeal of the British Witchcraft Acts and the general-public reintroduction of Theosophical Society teachings.

Anton LaVey derived his name from the word ‘Leviathan.’

“The Sigil of Baphomet,” the official insignia of his Church of Satan, contains the Hebrew letters spelling ‘LVYTN’ at each point of the five points of the pentagram this sigil contains. LVYTN becomes LaVeY anToN, or, Anton LaVey (in the Aramaic Targum of Jonathan (Translation by J.W. Etheridge) on Genesis 1:21 Leviathan is spelled ‘levyathan’ with a ‘y.’ ‘LVYTN’ is a shortening of the word ‘levyathan,’ or rather, ‘levyathan’ is a lengthening of the word ‘lvytn.’

The Hebrew language does not employ vowels. Leviathan is the name of Satan’s cherub). According to Anton LaVey: “Satanic Ritual is a blend of Gnostic, Cabbalistic, Hermetic, and Masonic elements, incorporating nomenclature and vibratory words of power (magic spells) from virtually every mythos…Masonic orders have contained the most influential men in many governments, and virtually every occult order has many Masonic roots.” - The Satanic Rituals p.21,78 (Anton LaVey, 1972)

The pen name of the French occultist Alphonse Louis Constant, which is Eliphas Levi, was also similarly derived, his last name being a shortening of the word ‘Leviathan.’

According to Levi: “The Science of Magism is contained in the books of the Kabalah, in the Symbols of Egypt and of India, in the books of Hermes Trismegistus, in the oracles of Zoroaster, and in the writings of some great men of the Middle Ages, like Dante, Paracelsus, Trithemus, William Postel (Postel provided a first-ever non-Jewish Latin translation of the Sepher Yetzirah in 1552 A.D.), Pomponaceus, Robert Fludd (1576-1637 A.D.; the English Rosicrucian Philosopher: “The English leader of the Rosicrucians was Dr. Robert Fludd, a deep student of the Cabala, Astrology, Alchemy, and Magic.” - The Arcane Schools Chapter 6 by John Yarker), etc. The works of Magic are divination or prescience, Thaumaturgy or the use of exceptional powers, and Theurgy (ceremonial magic; also known as the ‘Telestic Work’) or 39

rule over visions and spirits.” -

The Paradoxes of the Highest Science by Eliphas Levi, 1856 A.D. (“Although the Cabala belongs to the past, it nevertheless demands our attention on account of the interest taken in it by men like Raymond Lully, the "Doctor Illuminatus" as he was styled (died 1315): John Picus di Mirandola (1463-1494); John Reuchlin (1455-1522) (a German Cabalist/ceremonial magician, Reuchlin is known as the ‘Father of the Reformation’); Cornelius Henry Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535); John, Baptist von Helmont (1577-1644); the English scholars Robert Fludd (1574-1637) and Henry More (1614-1687)...By Cabala we understand that system of religious philosophy, or more properly, of Jewish theosophy,** which played so important a part in the theological and exegetical literature of both Jews and Christians ever since the Middle Ages...By virtue of certain (magic) incantations, invocations of the names of God and the angels, and the recitation of certain prayer-like chants, combined with fasting and an ascetic mode of living, they pretended to be able to perform supernatural deeds. For this purpose they made use of amulets and cameos (Kameoth), and wrote upon them the names of God and the angels with certain signs.” – The Cabala Forward, p. 9,12 by Bernhard Pick, 1913 A.D.) (** Author and Fellow of the Theosophical Society William Kingsland in the Introduction to his book entitled The Esoteric Basis of Christianity [1895 A.D.] defines ‘theosophy’ as meaning “the wisdom of divine beings,” the divine beings who are, of course, angels)

Freemasonry is rooted in the “Science of Magism:” “The Occult Science of the Ancient Magi (the Magi were magicians who invoked the rebellious fallen angels, the angels Satan and Azazel included) was concealed under the shadows of the Ancient Mysteries: it was imperfectly revealed or rather disfigured by the Gnostics: it is guessed at under the obscurities that cover the pretended crimes of the Templars (Knights Templars); and it is found enveloped in enigmas that seem impenetrable, in the Rites of the Highest Masonry. Magism was the Science of Abraham and Orpheus, of Confucius and Zoroaster. It was the dogmas of this Science that were engraven on the tables of stone by Hanoch (Enoch) and (Hermes) Trismegistus. Moses purified and re-veiled them, for that is the meaning of the word reveal.

He covered them with a new veil, when he made of the Holy Kabalah the exclusive heritage of the people of Israel, and the inviolable Secret of its priests.” - The Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.)

In 1855 A.D. the reknowned Rabbi Isaac Wise revealed: “Freemasonry is a Jewish establishment, whose history, grades, official appointments, passwords, and explanations are Jewish from beginning to end.”

Indeed, as Albert Pike explains: “All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the (Jewish) 40

Kabalah…everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of all the illuminati, Jacob Boehme, Swedenborg, Saint-Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah; all the Masonic associations owe to it their secrets and their symbols.” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.) (One must remember, Jewish Kabalists do not believe Jesus was the son of God, nor do the Masons hold him in esteem.

Jesus is: “the stone which the builders (read: the Masons) rejected.” - Matthew 21:42)

As the Freemasonic Father of Wicca and OTO Crowley-initiate Gerald B. Gardner explains: “I am familiar with most forms of (magic) ritual including Kabbalistic magic, and they all have certain things in common and work by calling up a spirit or intelligence and commanding it to do their will.” - Witchcraft Today by Gerald B. Gardner, 1954 A.D. (“…Ritualistic Magic, Kabalistic Magic, Art Magic or Black Magic are alike attempting to evoke genii, demons or elemental spirits and forcing or bribing them to cause events to occur…” - Witchcraft Today by Gerald B. Gardner) (While sharing a common origin, such magic systems are differentiated by spelling and vary according to theological systems: Hermetic [Egyptian] Qabalah, Jewish Kabala and Christian Cabala)

As we learn from a number of sources: “The Kabala was first taught

by God himself to a select Company of Angels who formed a theosophic school in Paradise” (See The Secret Doctrine [Volume II P.284] by H. P. Blavatsky, The Kabbalah by Christian D. Ginsburg and The Kabbalah Denudata of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth).

Included in this group of angels were the angels Satan and Azazel.

This knowledge was later revealed to man via rebel angels when they descended to our Earth in the days of Jered (that 33° Freemason Albert Pike was familiar with The Book of Enoch is evident as he quotes from this book concerning the fallen angel’s descent to our Earth on p.31 of his Freemasonic/Kabala-themed book entitled The Book of the Words).

What secrets are revealed by The Zohar, that major storehouse of Jewish Kabalistic knowledge? It teaches of the fallen angels of course, and how they came to our Earth, here to abide: “…Uzza (Semjaza) and Azael (Azazel), who rebelled above, were cast down by the Blessed Holy One (by God), and materialized on earth, abiding on it…Subsequently they strayed after earthly women…They engendered children, whom they called Mighty Giants…” - Zohar 1:58a (See also Zohar 1:37a and Genesis 6:4) (Azazel is one of the angels invoked by practitioners of magic. Azazel is invoked under the contracted name ‘Azael’ in the Greek Magical Papyrus

from Egypt [PGM XXXVI.161-177] in a spell of protection against “every bad situation that comes upon” the invoker)

The Zohar also teaches that the angel Azazel had impiously impregnated Adam’s wife Eve: “…the serpent (Azazel) injected that slime (his semen) into Eve, she absorbed it, so when she copulated with Adam she bore two sons (Cain and Abel): one (Cain) from the impure side (from Azazel) and one (Abel) from the side of Adam, Cain resembling both the higher image (of the angel Azazel) and the lower (the human Eve) (Cain was an angel/human hybrid)…Cain was certainly son of the impure spirit…deriving from…the side of the Angel (Azazel)…” - Zohar 1:54a Zohar 2:7a tells us the gods of the nations as spoken of in The Bible are no mere powerless idols but represent very real celestial beings who have influence over actual events on our Earth. Also, according to The Zohar, in reference to the builders (the original Masons) of the Tower of Babel, the first and foremost being Nimrod: “Said Rabbi Abba: ‘They were the subjects of a horrible and demoniacal infatuation in that they impiously wished to abandon the worship of the Lord for that of Satan or the serpent (Azazel) to whom they rendered homage and glory.’”

Freemasonry brags of an historical association with the magician Nimrod. As per The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, the Freemasonic York MS. No. 1 says “At ye making of ye toure (tower) of Babel there was a Masonrie first much esteemed of, and the King of Babilon it called Nimrod was a Mason himself and loved well Masons.” The Masons first identified themselves as such in reference to their building of the Tower of Babel, it being a tower constructed of bricks. Harleian, Sloane, Landsdowne and Edinburgh-Kilwinning Masonic manuscripts, for instance, state as fact that Masons were employed in the building of the Tower of Babel. The Ancient Craft Freemasonic calendar of the York and French rites begins in 4000 B.C., the year the Tower of Babel was completed and in the same year destroyed, at the time when the people’s languages were confused and their population dispersed, as the result of this rebellion against God (4000 B.C. = 1 A:L in the Ancient Craft Masonic calendar of the York and French rites). Freemasonry renders homage to Satan and Azazel.

As part of the teachings of the 25° of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry known as the Knight of the Brazen Serpent, Freemasonic author Albert Pike informs us: “This Degree is…devoted to an explanation of the symbols of Masonry; and especially to those which are connected with that ancient and universal legend (read: the legend concerning Azazel), of which that of Khir-Om Abi (a variant spelling of Hiram Abiff) is but a variation; that legend which, representing a murder or a death, and a restoration to life, by a drama in which figure Osiris, Isis and Horus, Atys (Attis) and Cybele, Adonis and Venus, the Cabiri, Dionusos (Dionysus), and many another (these are all gods and goddesses of various ethnic groups who represented the angel Azazel and his human wife)…” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.) (“For us, who have the inner knowledge, inherited or won, it remains to restore the true [ceremonial magic] rites of Attis, Adonis, Osiris, of Set, Serapis, Mithras, and Abel.” – Ceremonial Magician and Master Mason Aleister Crowley. These ceremonial magic rites centered upon the invocation of the angel Azazel [including attempts to establish a direct line of communication with him] who the ancients revered as a god).

Freemasonry, by Pike’s own admission, passes on the secret teachings concerning the Genesis serpent Azazel and his human wife through the Masonic legend concerning Hiram Abiff! No doubt in reference to the origin of the name Hiram Abiff, Pike explains: “(Samuel Fales/S.F.) Dunlap ([in Vestiges of the] Spirit History of Man, 94)(first published in 1858 A.D.), in a table of the male and female Deities of different Nations, gives Huram (a variant spelling of Hiram)…(as being the equivalence of the Greek god) Hermes, Death-God (think: Destroyer),” - p.55 The Book of Words (Albert Pike). The name Hiram is derived from the name of the Egyptian god Hermes. (Some members of Freemasonry such as Albert Pike are tasked in comparative religious/mythological studies, being well versed in Kabala). Indeed, according to The Mysteries of Freemasonry (as written by Captain William Morgan, by George R. Crafts), speaking of “Our Grand Master, Hiram Abiff,” Freemasonic legend holds “the heart of Hiram Abiff was enclosed in a golden urn.” The golden urn symbolizes Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, wherein he is entrapped. Even highdegree Freemason and prominent Theosophical Society author C.W. Leadbeater chimes in on this subject: “Bro. (Freemasonic Brother J.S.M.) Ward refers in his remarkable work Who was Hiram Abiff? (by J.S.M. Ward, p. 191) in which he adduces a vast amount of evidence to show that our traditional history is based upon the myth of the death 43

and resurrection of Tammuz” - Glimpses of Masonic History (C. W. Leadbeater).

Tammuz was yet another name on a long list of ancient gods who represented the angel Azazel (Concerning the Freemasonic author J.S.M. Ward: “The [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn is not the only influence upon [English occultist and founding father of Wicca magic Gerald B.] Gardner; Freemasonry has had a tremendous impact upon the Wicca. Not only were the three founders of Isis Urania Temple Masons, so too were [Aleister] Crowley and [A.E.] Waite [it was Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member A.E. Waite’s The Book of Black Magic and Pacts which is cited as Crowley’s inspiration to join the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn into which he was initiated by S.L. MacGregor Mathers]; Gardner and at least one member of the first [witches] coven (Daffo) [Edith Woodford-Grimes] were both Co Masons. [Gerald B.] Gardner was also a friend of J.S.M. Ward [a former high official of a powerful British industrial lobbying group], who had published a number of books about masonry.” - webspace.webring.com. The word ‘Hermetic’ [as in Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] is derived from the name of the god Hermes, from whence is derived the name of the Freemasonic ‘Hiram’ who is likewise representative of the angel Azazel. Freemasonry is and always has been based on ceremonial magic rituals involving the invocation of fallen angels. The Mason/magician Nimrod likewise ritually invoked the angel Azazel, even going as far as erecting a tower [the infamous Tower of Babel] over the location of Azazel’s entrapment! For more information, see Hidden Truths: A History of the World by John of the Gentiles. As regards Isis (Azazel’s human wife) the Greek Magical Papyrus [PDM xiv.554-62] invokes her as: “Isis, the Magician, the Lady of Magic, who Bewitches everything, who is Never Bewitched in her Name of Isis, the Magician.”)

One of the most famous of Freemasonic ceremonial magicians (33°) was an Englishman named Aleister Crowley who is known as the father of Thelema (meaning ‘Will’/’True Will’) and who was a prominent member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Crowley-initiate Kenneth Grant in The Magickal Revival explains: “The [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn was the Inner Mystery School of the Order that formulated itself in the outer world as the Theosophical Society. Blavatsky’s intention in initiating her society was the destruction of Christianity…”

Typically, as we shall learn, an Illuminati/Carboneri principle). One of the objectives in Thelemic mysticism is to achieve union with the All (the Assyrian Neoplatonist philosopher/ceremonial magician Iamblichus calls this a ‘Theurgic Union’), the successful execution of which involves an amalgamation of Crowley Magick, Yoga, tarot, astrology and Qabalahism as well as employing a smattering of other mystical disciplines such as to be found in Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sufism (in Japan, demons are called Yokai, while in China, the demonic fallen angels are known as Yaoguai, both words meaning ‘demon.’ From these words for ‘demon’ are derived the 44

words Yoga and Yogi). To those who think Yoga is a harmless exercise, in Aleister Crowley’s Book 4 (also known as Liber IV;; a ‘liber’ is a magical book purportedly dictated by a spirit [‘automatic writing’ by definition]. Liber is also one of the names of the Greek god Bacchus [See Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man, S.F. Dunlap, p. 266; Bacchus represents Azazel] from whence is derived the title of one of the Roman gods who represented the angel Azazel. Lady Liberty [the Roman goddess Libertas] represents Azazel’s human wife. A huge idol of Azazel’s human wife designed by a Freemason named Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi graces New York’s harbor upholding her torch, a torch being an occult symbol of the angel Azazel), Crowley writes: “The work of

the Body of Light—with the technique of Yoga—is the foundation of Magick.” As Crowley explicates in Eight Lectures on Yoga, “Yoga means Union,” and represents “the union of self-consciousness (microcosm) with the universe (macrocosm).” Union with the All (the All is also known as Godhead; a perpetual power source) was essential to ones attainment of such a Body of Light. If one possessed such a Body of Light, one was possessed of an eternal life—but that is a subject for another book (to explore this concept, see The Knowledge of Wisdom by John of the Gentiles). Interest in Thelema, sex magic, tantric sex and sexual yoga, variations of the Hiero Gamos Ritual, has its origin with the appearance of the angels and also reappears later in ancient Babylonia where sex was incorporated in post-diluvian religious practices based on the esoteric knowledge and exotic practices of the angels who rebelled against God: “This was the feature of her (the angel Azazel’s human wife, the goddess Ishtar’s) cult which made the greatest impression upon Herodotus. In Book I, Chapter 199 of his history he describes that shameful law of the Babylonians which sent every Babylonian woman once in her life to the temple, the goddess of love, to sacrifice her honour (to offer sexual favors) for gold…The temple in Babylon dedicated to her was probably Ekidurinim, which was situated near the city wall” wherupon “women who there assembled to be chosen by strangers for indiscriminate adultery (hiero gamos, also known as hierogamy).” pp.73-74 Tammuz and Ishtar (S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 st nd A.D.). Likewise 1 - 2 Century A.D. Roman poet: “Juvenal tells us

that every temple in Rome was practically a licensed brothel.” - Sex Worship by Clifford Howard, 1898 A.D.). This it would seem was par for the course, magic rituals representing various adaptations of a common theme—the sexual union of the immortal angel Azazel with his mortal human wife at the time of Azazel’s arrival upon our Earth, and known as the ‘hiero gamos ritual.’ The ‘hiero gamos ritual’ is the Great Rite of Wicca. In Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic ritual called The Gnostic 45

Mass (See Liber XV), The Ceremony of the Rending of the Veil involves a Virgin (representing Azazel’s virginal human wife) and a priest (who represents Azazel) who “With his Lance…parts the veil” of the virgin, which is to say, he ceremoniously during these religious proceedings breaks the hymen of the virgin with his penis.

What all these magic systems have in common though, whether in origin Egyptian, Babylonian, Arabian or any other such version, is the practical invocation of spirits/angels, a practice which was strictly prohibited by God (as an example, note the very profane work, “The Kabalistic Prayer” in Eliphas Levi’s The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum). These are fallen angel-inspired corrupted systems involving all things God explicitly hates which serves to complete one’s detachment from God, as opposed to one’s regenerating reunion with Him as with the All, as is the professed aim of Crowley’s Magick. Let not thyself be fooled.

Many systems of magic are interestingly enough based upon Christian themes, their adherents invoking God and His band of obedient angels which aim was to establish a conjurer’s control over the rebellious fallen angels, an act in fact of total futility. These angels would not even obey the direct commands issued by the All-Powerful God who created them! To use one example of a Cabalistic magic invocation, the so-called black magic grimoire entitled the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum states: “In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father and the son and the Holy Ghost, holy trinity and unseparable unity. I call upon thee…that thou give me grace and divine power over all the wicked spirits (read: fallen angels)…so as which of them soever I do call by name, they may come…and accomplish my will…” (circa. 16th century by the Agrippa-disciple Johann Weyer. See also Weyer’s On the Illusions of the Demons and on Spells and Poisons, 1563 A.D.). The Grimoire of Armadel [Sloane 2731, British Museum] is also a good example of a Christian-based system of magic). Likewise the black magic work Verus Jesuit Libellus (The True Petition of the Jesuits) states “So come o ye angelic ones…and do all that I have requested in the name of the three-fold Jehovah, whose praises all spirits sing ceaselessly giving honor to the all powerful who is your Lord as he is mine. Amen.” Even 33° Freemason Arthur Edward Waite invokes Lucifer (Satan) on page 244 of his book entitled The Book Of Black Magic and of Pacts with the following Christian-themed magic ritual: “First Conjuration Addressed 46

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…” One may drown in such a profusion of naivety. In the Preface to the grimoire entitled The Magus (circa. 1801 A.D.) by Francis Barrett one of Barrett’s professed aims by which with his writings he had hoped to attain was “to free the name of Magic from any scandalous imputation;; seeing it is a word originally significative not of any evil, but of every good and laudable science, such as a man might profit by, and become both wise and happy; and the practice so far from being offensive to God or man, that the very root or ground of all magic takes its rise from the Holy Scriptures, viz.—“The fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom” (See Psalms 111:10 and Proverbs 9:10);—and charity is the end: which fear of God is the beginning of Magic; for Magic is wisdom, and on this account the wise men were called Magi. The magicians were the first Christians; for, by their high and excellent knowledge, they knew that that Saviour which was promised, was now born man—that Christ was our Redeemer, Advocate, and Mediator; they were the first to acknowledge his glory and majesty; therefore let no one be offended at the venerable and sacred title of Magician—a title which every wise man merits while he pursues that path which Christ himself trod, viz. humility, charity, mercy, fasting, praying, &c.; for the true magician is the truest Christian, and nearest disciple of our blessed Lord.” Holy Hocus Pocus Batman! (See also L.W. de Laurence’s plagiarized version of this very same statement on p.57 of his book entitled The Great Book of Magical Art, Hindu Magic and East Indian Occultism as he also labored “to free the name of Magic from any scandalous imputation.”). The title of one magic manuscript succinctly sums up the goal of every magic system: The Grand Grimoire is subtitled “The Art of Controlling Celestial, Aerial, Terrestrial, and Infernal Spirits” (read: fallen angels). The Grand Grimoire (also known as ‘The Red Dragon’) is a black magic (goetic) grimoire which also explains how “God struck down the rebel angels…into the…abyss.” This was of course in reference to Azazel and his detachment of rebellious fallen angels whom God entrapped within the earth with whom many an imprudent magician sought to communicate, command and control.

47

The story of Azazel’s and his angel’s entrapment inside their cherubim within the Earth is the basis for the legend concerning the demons said to have been confined by the Biblically famous King Solomon in a magic bronze vessel as related in the 17th Century grimoire called The Lesser Key of Solomon. This tale also has parallels to the entrapped genie in the magic lamp of the Arabian Nights stories, as the genie therein represents an angel whilst the lamp represents an angel’s cherub. The evil ifrit (‘ifrit’ means ‘rebellious;;’ the evil ifrit of the book representing the rebellious angels) are called the “seed of Iblis” (Iblis=Satan) in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, also known as Arabian Nights. Arab magicians, through the use of magic, believe they can control the spirits/rebellious angels (jinn) and exploit them to their advantage, by obliging them to serve their master. Watch how you use those three wishes you are granted!

In Arabian countries the jinn, who represent rebellious fallen angels, are associated with magic. Spells are employed in an effort to control them and to enslave them or as protection against them, and some even solicit the angels’ protection. In fact, the magical use of talismans and amulets goes hand in hand alongside Muhammadism itself (as is also true of Catholicism which employs ‘medals’ of the Patron Saints which are likewise worn for protection). The noted Freemason Manly P. Hall (initiated into Jewel Lodge No. 374, San Francisco, CA), in his Lectures on Ancient Philosophy reveals that: “From the Arabians C. R. C. (the Rosicrucian Christian Rosenkrantz (Christ of the Rose-Cross/Red Cross) also learned of the elemental peoples and how, with their aid, it was possible to gain admission to the ethereal world where dwelt the genii (jinn) and nature spirits. He thus discovered that the magical creatures of the Arabian Nights Entertainment actually existed…He was further instructed concerning…the rituals of magic and invocation…and the binding of the genii.” What he learned in truth was of the jinn entrapped within the desert, of Azazel and of his angels! This knowledge he brought with him to Germany, and armed therewith he established the Rosicrucian Society which was dedicated to the practice of magic, circa 1400 A.D. Or so the story goes. This group’s publication of the Fama Fraternitatis in 1607 A.D. and the Confessio Fraternitatis in 1616 A.D. broadcast these beliefs to the world. Indeed, according to Chapter IV of the Confessio Fraternitatis, Rosicrucians, as do all practitioners of magic under whatever name they choose to be known, appeal for help from angels and spirits for the revelation of God’s 48

mysteries. It must be noted German Protestant Reformer Martin Luther (1483 – 1546 A.D.) was a perported Rosicrucian, with Luther’s personal seal incorporating the Rosicrucian (Rose-Cross) talisman (interestingly enough, it was the knowledge of the existence of these jinn [also spelled Djinn] and the Malay magic practices by which they were invoked which launched Gerald B. Gardner on his own magic quest, resulting in the establishment of Wicca as a religion. See Gerald Gardner, Witch p.94).

Walt Disney (a 33° Freemason) was a member of The Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC), a Rosicrucian order which traditionally traces its origin to the ancient Egyptian mystery schools who revered the rebellious fallen angels as gods (the Rosicrucian-esque Walt Disney© company presents a children’s version of the story of the jinn of the Arabian Nights Entertainment in their full length animated classic, Aladdin©). As evidenced in the extent of the influence of magic on most of his animated classics, we find Mr. Walt Disney was overly obsessed with the Occult. It must also be noted that the man who founded AMORC in 1915 A.D., Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, was himself in contact with Aleister Crowley and the Ordo Templi Orientis (See Larson’s Book of Cults, Larson 1984 p.306), with AMORC even receiving a ‘ringing endorsement’ from the O.T.O. AMORC counts many Freemason’s amongst its membership.

Indeed, according to the U.S. Grand Lodge, Ordo Templi Orientis website (www.oto-usa.org): “Although officially founded at the beginning of the 20th century e.v., O.T.O. represents a surfacing and confluence of the divergent streams of esoteric wisdom and knowledge which were originally divided and driven underground by political and religious intolerance during the dark ages. It draws from the traditions of the Freemasonic, Rosicrucian and Illuminist movements of the 18th and 19th centuries, the crusading Knights Templars of the middle ages and early Christian Gnosticism and the Pagan Mystery Schools.”

Practitioners of magic and invokers of fallen angels, all. Masons trace their lineage to the Knights Templar group. The magic-practicing group known as the OTO (the Ordo Templi Orientis, in English, the Order of Oriental Templars, is also known as the Masonic Academy/Academia Masonica founded in the finest Platonic school of magic/pagan mystery school tradition) is the innermost circle of Freemasonry.

The following selection from Egyptian Book of the Dead 49

Plates V and VI B.D. Chapter I speaks of the Egyptian belief that it was possible to gain entrance into the underworld where dwelt Azazel: “Osiris (Behemoth) the chief of Amenta, the lord of eternity…chief of the company of his gods (angels);; and…Anubis (yet another title for Azazel) [dweller] in the tomb (Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, wherein he was entrapped within the earth, was considered to be his tomb. For this reason, Azazel’s human wife who is also entrapped therein, is known as the ‘lady of the tomb’ in some magic orders), great god, chief of the holy dwelling (the Great House, aka Behemoth). May they grant that I may go into and come out from the underworld…that I may go forth into the presence of [Osiris] (Azazel)…” The Egyptians falsely taught (and handsomely profited thereby) that the living might enter and leave the underworld at will, wherein dwelt their gods. They even wrote books concerning this subject: “The beginning of the chapters…of coming forth from and going into the underworld.” - The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate V Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XII B.D. Chap. XVIII states: “Grant…that I may enter into and come forth from the netherworld,” the “netherworld” wherein is entrapped Azazel and his rebellious angels.

The ancient esoteric knowledge concerning the rebellious fallen angels formed the fundamental principles underlying all modern magic systems. The grimoire known as The Greater Key of Solomon speaks of “assemblies” of “Evil and rebellious Spirits (read: angels) dwelling in the Abysses of Darkness” whom its practitioners sought to “conjure” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VII. Translated from manuscripts found in the British Museum, this manuscript was translated inrto English by S. L. MacGregor Mathers, a 19th Century magician who was head of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, founded in 1887 A.D., was an offshoot of the English Rosicrucian Society [the SRIA] and consisted largely of leading Freemasons). This work influenced many goetic magic orders including that of Mathers’ himself and of those magic orders founded by such practitioners of magic Aleister Crowley and Eliphas Levi. This manuscript identifies the rebellious fallen angel Azazel as being “ye who by your own sin 50

have been cast down from the Empyreal Heaven, and from before His (God’s) Throne;; by Him (God) who hath cast ye (Azazel) down unto the most profound of the Abysses of Hell (read: Hades, beneath the earth).” - The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VI Another manuscript which greatly influenced many magic orders such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage (again, this is a manuscript translated into English by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member S. L. MacGregor Mathers from manuscripts housed in the British Museum). As stated in the Introduction to his translation of this book, Mathers states: “The invocation of Angelic Forces…is an idea common in works of Magic, as also are the Ceremonies of Pact with and submission to Evil Spirits” and that the “magnum opus” propounded in the aforementioned work is “to obtain the knowledge of and conversation with one’s Guardian Angel, so that thereby and thereafter we may obtain the right of using the Evil Spirits for our servants in all material matters.” The book states that through “conversation with your Guardian Angel,” with whom one would come into direct communication, one may receive from him “distinct and ample information regarding the Evil Spirits and the manner of bringing them into submission,” but in order to achieve this goal “thou wilt have to pass under the influence of thy Holy Guardian Angel” (compare to Aleister Crowley who writes in Chapter 83 of the ironically entitled Magick Without Tears (1945 A.D.): “It should never be forgotten for a single moment that the central and essential work of the Magician is the attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. Once he has achieved this he must of course be left entirely in the hands of that angel,” which is to say, he will then be Overshadowed thereby, becoming a mere puppet of the angel. For this reason God commanded the death of all such practitioners of magic). The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage describes the processes and rituals involved in obtaining as ‘Abraham the Jew’ therein describes such a “conversation with your Guardian Angel.” This concept as found in this grimoire originateded in the teachings of the ancient Egyptian black magic magicians/priests). Mathers goes on to explain: “Except in the professed Black Magic (‘goetic’) Grimoires, the necessity of the invocation of the Divine and Angelic Forces to control the Demons is invariably insisted upon in the operations of invocation described and taught in Mediaeval Magical Manuscripts and published works.”

51

Indeed, according to Book I of The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, the success of such magic operations of evocation are dependent upon the will of: “God, by the intermediation of His Holy Angels, and with all Spirits, both good and evil.”

‘Abraham the Jew,’ the author of this grimoire, was of the opinion that many magic systems were based on pacts with devils and demons and were in fact false and vain, these systems being based on deception for the express purpose of destroying their practitioners. Again, vainly enough, he thought his own system of magic to be different. He couldn’t have been more wrong (remember, The Bible states the only mediator between God and man is Jesus Christ (See 1Timothy 2:5).

Kabbalists, however, predominantly Jewish by nature, would not be expected to believe in Jesus Christ). His system was also based on such demonic/Satanic deception. As a matter of fact, ‘Abraham the Jew’ (who was of Germanic descent) was formally a Christian who renounced Christianity and had converted to Judaism, a man whose father instructed him in the ways of ([Egyptian] Hermetic) “Qabalism.”

As we learn from Biblical Archaeological Revue (BAR) editor Hershel Shanks: “All forms of modern Judaism are heirs of Rabbinic Judaism, which emerged in the centuries after the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D…much of post-destruction Rabbinic halakhah (as found in Rabbinic Judaism) can already be found in pre-destruction Pharisaic Judaism” (See pp.176, 177 The Mystery and Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls, 1998 A.D.) from whence halakhah (a cognate of the word ‘Kabalah’) was derived and it was it must be noted this very same Pharisaic Judaic religious system which Jesus so opposed and which ultimately was responsible for his death (that there were amongst the Jews practitioners of magic in Judah and Jerusalem circa. the 7th century B.C. is made evident in 2Kings 23:24 which speaks of “wizards” (male witches) and their mediums, those who worked (as with a magical working) with “familiar spirits.” Within Judaism itself magic was the realm of the Pharisee: “For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection (no life after death), neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.” - Acts 23:8. This core belief precluded the Sadducees entirely from magic practices involving the invocation of angels as well as Spiritism and Spiritualism. Indeed, as the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia (1943 A.D.) explains: “The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees.” And throughout this period, Rabbinic 52

Judaism has retained and has built upon aspects of earlier Pharisaic magic practices, which explains why Jesus was so vehemently opposed to the Pharisees, and they against him, and why the Pharisees ruthlessly persecuted early Christians until which time the tables had been turned when Jews were later persecuted by Christians). Shanks himself goes on to say (p.179) that: “after the destruction of the (Jewish) Temple (in Jerusalem) in 70 A.D…only two forms of Judaism survive the cataclysm. One, Christianity, eventually dominates Western civilization after separating itself from its forbears. The other, Rabbinic Judaism, is the ancestor of all branches of modern Judaism.” The teachings of The Zohar as well as Kabala fall under the category of Rabbinic Judaism as descended from the traditions of the Pharisees.

Hassidic Jews in particular embrace Kabala wholeheartedly. Kabala is known as “Jewish witchcraft.”

In Chapter I of Friar Bacon his Discovery of the Miracles art, of Nature, and Magick (1659 A.D.) the illustrious Francis Bacon speaks of such: “…men despising the Rules of Philosophy, irrationally call up wicked Spirits, supposing them of Energy to satisfie their desires. In which there is a very vast error, because such persons imagine they have some authority over Spirits, and that Spirits may be compelled by humane authority, which is altogether impossible, since humane Energy or Authority is inferior by much to that of Spirits.

Besides, they (who conjure spirits) admit a more vast mistake, supposing such natural instruments, as they use (such as magic wands cut from trees by the light of a full moon), to be able either to call up (invoke), or drive away (banish) any wicked Spirit. And they continue their mistake in endeavouring by (magic) Invocations, Deprecations or Sacrifices to please Spirits, making them propitious to their design.

Without all question, the way is incomparably more easier to obtain any thing, that is truly good for men, of God, or good Angels, than of wicked Spirits (fallen angels).” (That the word ‘spirit’ may be used synonymously with that of the word ‘angel’ is evident in Hebrews 1:7)

Europe itself is steeped in magic tradition: “cunning folk in Britain were professional or semi-professional practitioners of magic active from at least the fifteenth up until the early twentieth century.

As cunning folk, they practiced folk magic - also known as “low magic” - although often combined this with elements of “high” or ceremonial magic…One of the most common services that the cunning folk provided was in combating the effects of malevolent witchcraft 53

and the curses which these witches had allegedly placed upon people…One of the best known means by which the cunning-folk opposed witchcraft was through the use of witch bottles; ceramic bottles containing such items as urine, nails, hair and nail clippings which it was believed, when put together, would cause harm to the malevolent witch.” – Wikipedia: Cunning folk in Britain. (Note this ‘good magic vs. bad magic’ [good/white magician vs. bad/black magician] theme [this theme even crops up in Hollywood Westerns and Mad Magazine’s Spy vs. Spy where the badman traditionally dons a black hat while the good guy wears a white hat]. Some practioners of magic even practice what they call ‘gray’ magic, combining elements of both black magick [goetia] and so-called white magic [mageia])

Witch-bottles have been found on both sides of the Atlantic, particularly in colonial America, peopled of course, by Europeans, most notably those of British descent. Cunning folk often provided their services for a price. Germany and France also had their versions of the cunning folk (one of the most famous examples of European ‘cunning-folk’ is the group known as the Gypsies which group Charles Leland notes in the Intro. to his book Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling: “have done more than any race or class on the face of the earth to disseminate among the multitude a belief in fortune-telling, magical or sympathetic cures, and such small sorceries which can be found in Folk-lore.”). Anyways, it is said Aleister Crowley was an initiate of an English cunning man named George Pickingill (1816 1909 A.D.), the witch of Canewdon, in Essex, England. Pickingill exerted a major influence on the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) as well as on the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Both Aleister Crowley and Allan Bennett were initiates of George Pickingill, with Crowley and Bennett once living together in London where they engaged in the study of magic (See pp.15-16 Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente, 1978 A.D.). (Pertinent Quote: “George Pickingill…openly campaigned for the overthrow of the Christian religion and the [political] establishment generally…So fierce was ‘Old George’’s dislike of Christianity that he would even collaborate with avowed Satanists.” - Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente, 1978 A.D.).

Aleister Crowley, like S. L. MacGregor Mathers, was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. In his book Liber Samekh, which has as its stated goal “the Attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel during the Semester of His performance of the Operation of the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage,” Aleister Crowley invokes the angel Azazel 54

under the ancient Egyptian names/titles of Azazel, namely Ptah, Apopphrasz, Khonsu, and Abrasax, calling him the Lion-Serpent in esoteric reference to the Genesis serpent Azazel’s later expected appearance as the false-prophet Messiah Lion of theTribe of Judah.

The invocation states: “Hear me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me;; so that every Spirit (read: every fallen angel) of the Firmament and of the Ether: upon the Earth and under the Earth, on dry land and in the water; of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire, and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me” invoking “all Spirits (read: every fallen angel)…upon the Earth and under the Earth: on dry Land and in the Water.” According to the Gnostic Creed as cited in the Gnostic Mass, the central ritual of the OTO written by Crowley in 1913 A.D., the Lion-Serpent is known as Baphomet. It was the LionSerpent Baphomet (Azazel) who was championed by the Knights Templar group. The OTO, the Order of Oriental Templars, derives its name therefrom. As Crowley himself ominously relates, there exists angels of which there is no need to invoke. When you are ready, they will come to you.

The magic-practicing groups known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Rosicrucians and the German Vril Society were entities closely associated with Madam Blavatsky’s powerful and well organized Theosophical Society. In fact, S. L. MacGregor Mathers was himself a Theosophical Society member. The Theosophical Society was ‘formally’ established in America in New York City (in the heart of the Freemasonic establishment in America) in 1875 A.D. Theosophy is a religious philosophy based on ancient esoteric religious teachings and associated magic practices, tasked in comparative religious/comparative mythologic studies.

Indeed: “Theosophy was the name finally given to the whole vast renaissance in the world of magic (which involves the invocation of the rebellious fallen angels) that affected many thinkers so profoundly at the beginning of the (20th) century.” – The Dawn of Magic (Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier,1960 A.D.) (aka The Morning of the Magicians)

Magic is an all-important part of The Great Work wrought by the greater Theosophical Movement. The Theosophical Society espoused 55

magic: “We have also to consider another class of entities which are frequently employed in magic; and this time we are dealing with real and evolving beings…There are vast hosts of these beings, and an almost infinite number of types and classes and tribes among them.

Broadly speaking, we may divide them into two great classes (a) nature-spirits or fairies, and (b) angels or, as they are called in the East, devas. This second class begins at a level corresponding to the human (the incarnate angel), but reaches up to heights far beyond any that humanity has as yet touched, so that its connection with magic is naturally of the slightest kind, and belongs solely to one special type of it, of which we shall speak presently. The nature-spirits have been called by many different names at different periods and in various countries. We read of them as fairies, elves, pixies, kobolds, sylphs, gnomes, salamanders, undines, brownies, or “good people” and traditions of their occasional appearance exist in every country under heaven. They have usually been supposed to be merely the creations of popular superstition, and it is no doubt, true that much has been said of them which will not bear scientific investigation. Nevertheless it is true that such an evolution does exist, and that its members occasionally, though rarely, manifest themselves to human vision.

Normally they have no connection whatever with humanity, and the majority of them rather shun than court the presence of man, since his ill-regulated emotions, passions, and desires are to them a source of much disturbance and acute discomfort; yet now and then exceptional circumstances have brought some of them into direct contact and even friendship with man…Naturally they possess powers and methods of their own, and sometimes they can be either induced or compelled to put these powers at the service of the student of occultism. Although they are not as yet individualized, and in that respect correspond rather to the animal kingdom than to humanity, yet their intelligence is in many cases equal to that of man. They seem, however, to have usually but little sense of responsibility, and the will is generally somewhat less developed with them than it is with the average man. They can therefore readily be dominated by the exercise of mesmeric powers, and can then be employed in many ways to carry out the will of the magician. There are many purposes for which they may be utilized, and so long as the tasks prescribed to them are within their power they will be faithfully and surely executed…All this will no doubt seem strange and new to many minds, but any student of the occult will confirm what I have 56

said here as to the existence of these beings and the possibility that they can be used in various ways by one who understands them…The forces to which I have referred are those most commonly employed in ordinary types of magic…We may usefully divide the subject of magic into two great parts, according to the methods which it employs; and we may characterize these respectively as methods of evocation and of invocation – of command and of entreaty. Let us consider the former first. Although it may act through many different channels, the one great force at the back of all magic of this first type is the human will...By this magnetic (mesmeric) control may be gained over any of the classes of nature-spirits…Indeed it is scarcely possible to fix the limits of the power of the human will when properly directed; it is so much more far-reaching than the ordinary man ever supposes, that the results gained by its means appear to him astounding and supernatural…We find abundant traces of this magic of command in the ceremonies connected with almost every religion in the world…” - Some Glimpses of Occultism Chapter VIII (by Theosophical Society member C.W. Leadbeater, 1919 A.D.; This book treats extensively on the subject of magic)

The following explanation is from Theosophical Society president Annie Besant: “Magic...is truly, as its name implies, the great science (compare to Francis Barret who calls magic a “good and laudable science”)...The difference between White and Black Magic lies in the motive...when that Will is set to benefit others, to help and bless all who come within its scope, then is the man a White Magician, and the results which he brings about by the exercise of his trained Will are beneficial, and aid the course of human evolution...But when the Will is exercised for the advantage of the lower self, when it is employed for personal ends and aims, then is the man a Black Magician, a danger to the race, and his results obstruct and delay human evolution...” - Study in Consciousness: A CONTRIBUTION TO THE SCIENCE OF PSYCHOLOGY (Annie Besant) (“Hail! Angels of

healing, come to our aid. Pour forth your mighty power upon this suffering one.” – Healing Invocation written by Theosophical Society author Geoffrey Hodson (1928 A.D.))

Though magic practices were embraced by the learned members of the Theosophical Society (such as Judge and Leadbeater), it was not, professedly, a practice meant for the masses. William Q. Judge, one of the original founders of the Theosophical Society, in his magazine The Path: Considerations On Magic (1887 A.D.) cautions his followers: “Occultism and magic are not child’s-play, as many may learn to their 57

sorrow…Let all who have joined the Theosophical Society remember this, and search their hearts before taking the first step in any magical formulary.” As Leadbeater explains: “The highest system of evolution connected with this earth, so far as we know, is that of the Beings whom Hindus call the Devas (synonymous/cognate with our word ‘devil’), and have elsewhere (most specifically, in The Bible) been spoken of as Angels, Sons of God, etc...Their attention can be attracted by certain magical evocations, but only Adepts (the word Adept is synonymous with the word Magus) of the First Ray have power to command their obedience.” - Some Fundamental Teachings by C W Leadbeater (As we learn from Tooke’s Pantheon of the Heathen Gods and Illustrious Heroes (1823 A.D.), the Roman god Jupiter (who represented the angel Azazel), was called by the title “Vejovis, or Vejupiter, and Vedius”: “The Romans accounted him a fatal and noxious deity;; and therefore they worshipped him only that he might not hurt them.” A cognate of the word ‘Vedius’ is the Sanskrit word ‘Vedas,’ which are named in Azazel’s honor. The Vedas are a large body of Hindu religious texts made up of four main canonical Samhita known as the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda [its teachings are incorporated in the system known as Vedantic Buddhism]. The Atharvaveda is a compilation of magic spells, incantations, charms and hymns. The Hindu word for ‘black magic’ is Jadoo. Dhamis are female witch doctors [Shamans], Sadhus their male counterparts. Jadoo is akin to

Voodoo [an African tribal form of folk-magic], New Orleans Voodoo, Haitian Vodou folk-magic, as well as Hoodoo, a form of African-American traditional folk magic)

The Vril Society (also known as The Luminous Lodge) was a Hermetic Order employing magic practices which was founded in Berlin, Germany, by a group of Berlin Rosicrucians being based on British author Edgar Bulwer-Lytton's novel The Coming Race (1871 A.D.) about an advanced group of men said to be residing within the Earth and of who it is said will later emerge to rule over the world.

Said to once inhabit the Earth’s outer surface, the group was forced to retreat underground many thousands of years ago by a natural catastrophe similar in nature to that of the Biblical Flood. This group was said to be trained in the application of the vril force, which can be used to control the physical world, including the minds and bodies of others. If this story sounds familiar it should, the story of course being based upon Bulwer-Lytton’s esoteric knowledge concerning Azazel and his group of fallen angels who are currently entrapped within the earth, including the influence they exert upon mankind. BulwerLytton, a Grand Patron (1871-73 A.D.) of the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA), a magic practicing group which accepted only Master Masons as members, wrote on many themes including the occult. Indeed, this novel was, as we learn from the words of Bulwer-Lytton himself, predicated on: “The superstitious belief, common to miners, that gnomes or fiends dwell within the 58

bowels of the earth,” the gnomes and fiends representing, of course, Azazel and his group of fallen angels. Bulwer-Lytton was a member of the British House of Lords, being a minister of the state.

According to Alan Baker in Invisible Eagle: The History of Nazi Occultism: “It is an assumption of many occultists that The Coming Race is fact disguised as fiction: that Bulwer-Lytton based his engaging novel on a genuine body of esoteric knowledge. He was greatly interested in the Rosicrucians, the powerful occult society…which claimed to possess ancient wisdom…Some writers, including Alec Maclellan, author of the fascinating book The Lost World of Agharti (1996 A.D.), have suggested that The Coming Race revealed too much of the subterranean world (wherein Azazel is entrapped), and was as a result suppressed in the years following Bulwer-Lytton's death in 1873. Indeed, he describes the book as ‘one of the hardest to find of all books of mysticism,’ and informs us of his own search for a copy, which for some years met with no success.”

Bulwer-Lytton was a friend of Eliphas Levi, the French occult writer and magician. In fact “In 1853 he [Eliphas Levi] traveled to London and met Lord Bulwer Lytton, whom he assisted in various magical evocations and theories.” - Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology: Éliphas Lévi. Eliphas Levi was also an associate of the President of the London Lodge (established 1883 A.D.) of the Theosophical Society in England, Anna Kingsford. Driven therefrom by A.P. Sinnett, she was given leadership of a Hermetic Lodge “attended by, amongst others, Lady Wilde and her sons Oscar and William” (See Biography of Anna Kingsford by Alan Pert, 2004 A.D.). Kingsford later left this lodge and formed the Hermetic Society (Hermetic Societies/Hermetic Orders are based on the writings of Hermes Trismegistus known as the Corpus Hermeticum, a god who represented none other than the fallen angel Azazel). Kingsford’s Hermetic Society was known for giving lectures on occult subject matter, featuring as lecturers the likes of occultist S. L. MacGregor Mathers and ceremonial magician Dr. William Wynn Westcott. Wescott, a student of Kabalah (Wescott translated the Kabalistic Book of Formation [aka Sepher Yetzirah] and the Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster into English), in addition to being a Master Mason, was Supreme Magus of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA; the Rosicrucian Society of England). Mathers, likewise a Master Mason, himself gained admittance to the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (to which only Master Masons 59

are admitted), eventually being appointed Junior Substitute Magus.

William Wynn Wescott, with S. L. MacGregor Mathers, would later found the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the most celebrated member of which was the English Freemasonic ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley. The Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia was itself modelled after Rosicrucian societies in Germany, such as the infamous Vril Society.

The Vril Society in Germany, founded in Berlin, as must again be noted, by a group of German Rosicrucians, would later become the inner circle of the Thule Society (the Thule Society, a literary club in outward appearance, was founded in 1918 A.D. by the German Rosicrucian Freemason Baron Rudolf von Sebettendorf, a man versed in Sufi mysticism (the Sufi holy book, with which he would have been familiar, entitled The Tawasin of Mansur Al-Hallaj presents the story of the angel Azazel’s refusal to prostrate himself before Adam as God had so commanded, an act preceding a full-blown military rebellion.

Sufi magicians invoke the angel Azazel). The Theosophic-beliefed Vril Society (by definition a Hermetic Order/Hermetic Society) was the first German nationalist group to use the symbol of the swastika (a Hindu equilateral cross) as an emblem/talisman (in India, the swastika represents the god Brahma, who is Azazel). This was derived from the Theosophical Society seal which likewise employs a swastika (variously known as a ‘Hermetic Cross’/‘Universal Hermetic Cross’ and the ‘Cross of the Magi’) within its emblem, this being one of the signs/sigils which represented the angel Azazel to whom they swore allegiance. For more information, turn now to Appendix A). The Thule Society was the organization which sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (The German Workers Party) which was later transformed by Adolf Hitler (who himself had been indoctrinated into Theosophical Society teachings) into the Nazi Party (a typical example of an intelligence undercover organizational takeover formally known as “Siezing the Lodge”). In fact Azazel and his angels are the German Nazi “underground supermen” (also known as ‘Unknown Supermen’) said to live beneath the Earth’s surface, of whom the Rosicrucian author and British statesman Bulwer-Lytton wrote. It must be noted the word ‘Thule,’ from whence the Thule Society derives its name, is a Greek word which translates as ‘isle of the four Masters,’ in reference to the place where Azazel, along with his three angelic companions, lie entrapped within the earth, this place being located as it is between the 60

Tigris and Euphrates Rivers (for which reason Arabs call this area ‘The Island’). Hitler claimed to be in communication with these angels. Hitler’s ultimate goal was to free them. Concerning the Thule Society: “‘The inner core within the Thule Group were all Satanists who practiced Black Magic,’ wrote Trevor Ravenscroft. ‘That is to say, they were solely concerned with raising their consciousness by means of (magic) rituals to an awareness of evil and non-human intelligences in the Universe and with achieving a means of communication with the Intelligences (read: communication with the alien rebel angels).

And the Master-Adept of this (inner) circle was Dietrich Eckart.’” Rule By Secrecy by Jim Marrs (“Briefly, the creed of the Thule society inner circle is as follows: Thule was a legendary island in the far north, similar to Atlantis, supposedly the center of a lost, high-level civilization. But not all secrets of that civilization had been completely wiped out (destroyed by the Flood). Those that remained were being guarded by ancient, highly intelligent beings (similar to the ‘Masters’ of Theosophy or the White Brotherhood) (in truth, not similar, but in fact the very same beings). The truly initiated could establish contact with these beings (with Azazel and his angels) by means of magic-mystical rituals.” - The Unknown Hitler by Wulf Schwartzwaller, 1990 A.D.)

“...At the end of…1919...Hitler met Dietrich Eckart. Most biographers have underestimated the influence that Eckart exerted on Hitler. He was the wealthy publisher and editor-in-chief of an anti-Semitic journal which he called In Plain German. Eckart was also a committed occultist and a master of magic. As an initiate, Eckart belonged to the inner circle of the Thule Society as well as other esoteric orders (including the German branch of the Theosophical Society).” - The Unknown Hitler by Wulf Schwartzwaller (Hitler dedicated his book Mein Kampf to Dietrich Eckart)

Dietrich Eckhart was Hitler’s mentor. “As Eckhart lay dying in December, 1923, he famously said: “Follow Hitler! He will dance, but it is I who have called the tune! I have initiated him into the ‘Secret Doctrine,’ opened his centers in vision and given him the means to communicate with the Powers (with Azazel and his angels). Do not mourn for me: I shall have influenced history more than any other German.” (See The Spear of Destiny by Trevor Ravenscroft). The ‘Secret Doctrine’ into which Hitler was indoctrinated were the teachings of Helena Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society, he referring of course to Blavatsky’s book entitled The Secret Doctrine.

61

“The ‘Secret Doctrine’ imparted to (Adolf) Hitler by (Dietrich) Eckart and University of Munich Professor (Karl) Haushofer was an amalgamation of concepts and philosophies largely stemming from the work of Madam Blavatsky (a woman with many Masonic associations) and her Theosophical Society…Blavatsky, in forming the German branch of the Theosophical Society in 1884, brought her belief in channeling, reincarnation, racial superiority and extraterrestrial visitation (by super humanoid beings known as angels/devas) to people who later would form the theological basis of Nazism (including Dietrich Eckart himself). ... ‘The rationale behind many later Nazi projects can be traced back ... to ideas first popularized by (H.P.) Blavatsky,’ agreed Levenda, who detailed connections with other European secret organizations. ‘We have the Theosophical Society, the OTO [Ordo Templi Orientis or Oriental Templars], [Dr Rudolf Steiner’s] Anthroposophical Society and [the (Hermetic) Order of] the Golden Dawn all intertwined in incestuous embrace.” - Rule By Secrecy by Jim Marrs (Notable quote: “…the techniques Dietrich Eckart used were in part derived from the sexual magic of Aleister Crowley. In 1912 this famed British magician was named IX British head of a secret Berlin lodge called Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) which practiced various forms of sexual magic.” The Unknown Hitler: Nazi Roots in the Occult. The Spear of Destiny also links the sexual magic of Aleister Crowley to Dietrich Eckart. At any rate, it was about this time when Rudolph Steiner sought to unite all the disparate magic practicing groups into one large “International Bund’ (See Chapter 11, Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism

by Francis King, 1989 A.D., pp. 97-108. Bund means ‘Union.’ It is also with such a union in mind when in 1964 A.D. Doreen Valiente helped to establish the Witchcraft Research Association, founded by Gerard Noel in an effort to unite the witches of Great Britain. Francis King throws an interesting light on the subject when he explains: “The Masonic body alluded to (with which the Freemason Rudolph Steiner was linked at the time he attempted this Union) was the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mizraim, centred in Manchester (England) and led by John Yarker. Once again this links up with the O.T.O. whose chiefs were, without exception members of this (Freemasonic) Rite. It is interesting to note that (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member and 33° Freemason Aleister) Crowley eventually achieved the direction of this Rite some three years after he entered it in 1910...Yarker had recently (circa 1912 A.D.) established links between his clandestine, fee snatching organisations and (TGheosophical Society president) Annie Besant’s Co-Masonry.”

– Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D., Footnotes, p.104. It was within this Continental secretive, soupy, magical-mix where we first encounter Adolf Hitler himself).

Adolf Hitler, it is said, was an Adept of Black Magic (as we learn from Timothy W. Ryback (director of the Salzburg Seminar) in his book entitled Hitler’s Forgotten Library: “One of the most heavily marked books (in Hitler’s personal library) is Magic: History, Theory and Practice (1923 A.D.), by Ernst Schertel.” Hitler’s personal library 62

also contained a number of books authored by members of the Theosophical Society, including books penned by Theosophical Society president Annie Besant. In fact, Hitler’s idea of a new superhuman Aryan race originated with the Theosophical Movement for as we learn from theosophical writings such as Modern Theosophy: An Outline of Its Principles (by Claude Falls Wright, FTS, 1894 A.D.) “their (the rebellious fallen angels’) mission in the world” included the creation of “a new race.” Hitler was simply following Azazel’s orders.

It must be remembered, Theosophy teaches the angels came to our Earth to help with mankind’s evolutionary progress in the creation of this coming new super race), while members of Hitler’s feared secret police, the SS (Schutzstaffel), like their fuehrer Hitler, were practitioners of black magic and students of the occult. Azazel and his group through thought-transference (Overshadowing) exerted their influence upon the mind as well as actions of Adolf Hitler, prompting him to action. The Dawn of Magic (by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier) states: “When Arthur Machen speaks of the World of Evil, ‘full of caverns and crepuscular beings dwelling therein,’ he is referring, as an adept of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, to that other world in which man comes into contact with the ‘Unknown Supermen.’ It seems certain that Hitler shared this belief, and even claimed to have been in touch with these ‘Supermen.’” End quote.

The Unknown Supermen of which he speaks and with whom Hitler was in contact was none other than Azazel and his group of fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth. Amazingly enough: “…with the coming of Nazism it was the ‘other world’ which ruled over us for a number of years…” - The Dawn of Magic by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier, 1960 A.D. By “other world” they reference the angel Azazel and the angels entrapped along with him in Egyptian Amenta.

Azazel controlled Germany through his control of Hitler. It must be mentioned the Welsh author and mystic Arthur Machen was a friend of A. E. Waite and, like Waite, was also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Waite translated fellow Golden Dawn member and French magician Eliphas Levi’s Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (Dogma and Ritual of High Magic (1896 A.D.) into English under the title Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual even bragging: “I believe that I may speak with a certain accent of authority upon any question which connects with the French magus (ceremonial magician) Éliphas Lévi. I am an old student of his works, and of the aspects of occult science and magical history which arise 63

out of them; in the year 1886 I published a digest of his writings which has been the only attempt to present them to English readers until the present year when I have undertaken a translation in extenso of the Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, which is actually in the hands of the printer. Now, it has not been alleged in so many words that the radix of Modern Diabolism and the Masonic cultus of Lucifer is to be found in Éliphas Lévi, but that is the substance of the charge.” - DevilWorship in France Chapter XIV by A.E. Waite (1896 A.D.) (In The Sources of Madame Blavatsky's Writings, William Emmette (W.E.) Coleman (“Member, American Oriental Society, Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland”) in 1893 A.D. notes: “Madame Blavatsky was a spiritualistic medium many years before she became a theosophist, and in its inception theosophy was an off-shoot from spiritualism; and from this source was a large part of her theosophy taken,” it also being as Coleman notes “derived from the works of Eliphas Levi,” the French ceremonial magician/invoker of fallen angels).

(**Author’s Note: As SRIA member Hargrave Jennings reveals in The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries (p. 119): “the British golden collar of “S.S.” (worn on the collar of a Knight of the Order of the Garter. To learn its significance turn now to Appendix A) which is worn as a relic of the oldest day (in perpetuation of a mythos long ago buried (a nod to the fact that Azazel is currently interred within the earth)…and forgotten in the dust of ages) by some of our (British) officials, courtly and otherwise…belongs to no known order of knighthood, but only to the very highest order of knighthood, the Magian, or to Magic.” It is this author’s opinion the S.S. sign is the sign of Azazel (‘Az’ means ‘serpent’/’el’ means ‘shining one’. The name Az-az-el thusly may be interpreted as the ‘shining one’ (angel) whose sign is the double serpent, thus represented as two serpentine S’s (‘SS’) also known as ‘Esses.’ The Gnostic group known as the Essenes derive their name from him: “The Essenes were Christians in the Gnostic sense, and according to Pliny the elder, they were a Hermetic Society that had existed for ages on ages of time.” – Logia of the Lord by Gerald Massey. Massey also writes: “The Essenes were phenomenal Spiritualists…” – Gnostic and Historic Christianity). This would explain why some of the Dead Sea scrolls of the Essenes at Qumran contained magic spells. Seems the Essenes also had their own practicing ceremonial magicians (It must also be noted the symbol used on Gnostic magic talismans depicting the serpent god Chnouphis, who represented the angel Azazel, is rendered in the form of a serpentine ‘S’). According to S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the SpiritHistory of Man p.80 one ancient spelling of the name of the angel 64

Azazel was Asas-el, god of Edessa, rendered with double S’s (SS) instead of the customary double Z’s. Since early Semitic alphabets did not contain vowels and ‘el’ serves only to identify him as a god, when these devices are taken away we are left simply with Azazel’s arcane name ‘SS’ (the double serpent). The Nazis incorporated Azazel’s sign (SS) within the emblem of its feared Black Magic-practicing secret police force). (Author’s Note: Azazel’s wife’s name is derived by playing this very same vowel game. When we add ‘I’s to Azazel’s name ‘SS’ we derive Isis. The human wives of the angel’s were often named after the angels [the Elohim] to whom they belonged. With the inclusion of the vowel ‘e’ is derived ‘esse’ as in Essene;; with an ‘o’ [the disc] and a serpentine ‘z,’ ‘Oz’) Other famous practitioners of black magic included the Druids.

Celtic Druidic rituals are included in many modern-day black magic ceremonies. Druidism retains its popularity in Britain even today, particularly in connection with Stonehenge. In fact, one of the centers of the Arch-Druids of Britain is London, England. Magic practices were also part and parcel of Sumerian, Babylonian, and Egyptian religions (ancient Egyptian priests were ceremonial magicians who practiced black magic; they were also by definition Masons, erecting great temples and pyramids in honor of their gods the fallen angels in the great tradition of magic-practicing Masonry) as well as Coptic Christianity (the Coptic Leiden Papyrus, an Egyptian Christian magical book, ritually invokes the “holy gods (read: fallen angels) of the abyss”). According to 33° Freemasonic author and ceremonial magician Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.) in what is considered to be the Masonic Bible entitled Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry: “The first Druids were the true children of the Magi, and their initiation came from Egypt and Chaldaea (Babylon), that is to say, from the pure sources of the primitive Kabalah” (Notable quote: “...our mode of teaching the principles of our profession [Masonry] is derived from the Druids...and our chief emblems originally came from Egypt...” - The Spirit of Masonry by William Hutchinson, Mason, 1775 A.D. The Freemasonic author Albert Churchward blithely states that Masons are: “our present Druids” (See Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man: the Evolution of Religious Doctrine from the Eschatology of the Ancient Egyptians by Albert Churchward, London, England, 1913 A.D., Second Edition, p.

189). Masonic author George Oliver admits: “The Druids had a high veneration for the Serpent. Their great god, Hu (who represented the 65

Genesis serpent Azazel), was typified by that reptile; and he is represented by the Bards as ‘the wonderful chief Dragon, the sovereign of heaven’ (the word ‘dragon’ is used as a synonym of the word ‘serpent’ in The Bible).” – p. 36 Signs and Symbols by George Oliver, New York, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, 1906 A.D. One essential teaching of Kabala is the story of Azazel and his angels, that they are entrapped within the earth, and that they may in fact be contacted.

Indeed, magic was a common practice amongst the high-degree Freemasonic set, for as we learn from prominent Freemason and Theosophical Society member C. W. Leadbeater in Glimpses of Masonic History (circa 1926 A.D.): “…the seventh ray is beginning to dominate the world - the ray of ceremonial magic which brings the especial cooperation of the Angelic hosts, of which Masonry itself with its many coloured pageant of rites is a splendid manifestation.”

One of the purposes of the Egyptian system of magic was to gain mastery and control over Azazel and his angels, who were the Egyptian ‘gods’ said to be dwelling within the earth, thereby compelling these angels to do their bidding. An invocation found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVI B.D. Chap. XXVII, speaking of Azazel and the angels who are imprisoned with him within the earth, exhorts: “O ye lords of eternity, ye possessors of everlastingness…be obedient unto me in the underworld.” In deference to the fact that the Egyptian system of magic constituted a ritual cultus surrounding the angel Azazel who was imprisoned within the earth along with his angelic followers, Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XIV B.D. Chap.

XVIII states: “Now as concerning every (magic) charm and all the words (spells) which may be spoken against me (by opposing magicians), may the gods (read: Azazel and the angels imprisoned with him) resist them, and may each and every company of the gods (such angels as were invoked by the opposing magician) withstand them.” Practitioners of black magic such as that employed in the Egyptian system of magic often used the fallen angels as weapons aimed at other persons, against other practitioners of magic in particular, in a kind of magical warfare of sorts. Cunning folk of one type or another were often hired to combat these assaults as is emplified by the use of ‘witch-bottles’ employed to counteract the attacks of witches here in the Americas and in Europe. Explains Margaret Alice Murray in The Witch Cult in Western Europe (University College, London, 1921 A.D.): “The magical ceremonies performed by the witches with the help of the Devil (Margaret Alice Murray uses the word ‘Devil’ to refer to the Horned God (Cernunnos), the “god of the witches,” who is in fact, the fallen angel Azazel) were usually for the destruction of, or for doing harm to, an enemy.” This fact helps to partly explain the various military intelligence agency’s interest in the occult, as does the following account in the Malleus Maleficarum (Part 3 Question XXXIV by Heinrich Kramer, 1486/87 A.D.): “And it is a fact that some definite agreement is formed between witches (practitioners of magic) and devils (fallen angels) whereby some shall be able to hurt (through goetia, black magic) and others to heal (through mageia, white magic)…Archer-wizards and enchanters of weapons, who are only protected by being patronized, defended and received by temporal Lords, are subject to the same 66

penalties; and they who patronize them, etc., or obstruct the officers of justice (the Inquisitors) in their proceedings against them, are subject to all the penalties to which the patrons of heretics are liable, and are to be excommunicated.” And again we are instructed: “The making of wax images (a practice akin to the production of voodoo dolls) for the destruction of an enemy has always been supposed to be a special art of a witch" (“A witch is a person that hath conference [is in communication] with the Devil [a fallen angel] to take counsel or to do some act.” Lord Edward Coke (1552 – 1634 A.D.), Lord Chief Justice of England under King James I; Coke was the main rival of Sir Francis Bacon (with Bacon by my vote count voted most likely to be in fact a closeted ceremonial magician/medium/Spiritist). The action has its origin in the belief in sympathetic magic; the image—of clay or wax— was made in the likeness of the doomed person, it was pierced with thorns or pins, and was finally dissolved in water or melted before a slow fire. The belief was that whatever was done to the image would be repeated in the body of the enemy, and as the image slowly melted he would get weaker and die. The method was probably quite effectual if the doomed man knew that magic, in which he believed, was being practised against him; but when the method was not successful the witches were often prepared to supplement magic with physical means, such as poison and cold steel (the cold steel of a dagger)…” – p.72 The God of the Witches by Margaret Alice Murray, D.Lit., “Fellow of University College, London,” 1933 A.D. And I might add, as often these assassinations are perpetrated with a ritually consecrated magic knife (known as an ‘arthame’), such killings become characteristically ceremonial in nature. Murray also writes: “(The French Inquisitor Pierre) De Lancre (1553 – 1631 A.D.) makes the statement that ‘there are two sorts of witches, the first sort are composed of witches who, having abandoned God, give themselves to drugs (including those of a hallucinogenic nature) and poisons (which falls into the ‘magical use of herbs’ category). The second are those who have made an express renunciation of Jesus Christ and of the (Christian) Faith and have given themselves to Satan. These perform wonders.’” - The God of the Witches p.33 by Margaret Alice Murray, 1933 A.D. (As the famed Scottish Ivanhoe author Sir Walter Scott explains in his lesser known expose entitled Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft Letter II (1830 A.D.), the witches of ancient Europe “were very apt to eke out their capacity of mischief by the use of actual poison, so that the epithet of sorceress and poisoner were almost synonymous.” The use of poisons by witches is highlighted in what is known as the Affair of the Poisons: “The Affair of the Poisons (L’affaire des poisons) was a major murder scandal in France which took place in 1677–1682, during the reign of (the Sun King) King Louis XIV (it even included a mistress of the king by whom he had fathered seven illegitimate children of the House of Bourbon). During it, a number of prominent members of the aristocracy were implicated and sentenced on charges of poisoning and witchcraft. The scandal reached into the inner circle of the king. The origin of the case began in 1675 after the trial of Marie-Madeleine-Marguerite d’Aubray, Marquise de Brinvilliers, who had conspired with her lover, army captain Godin de Sainte-Croix, to poison her father Antonine Dreux d'Aubray in 1666 and two of her brothers, Antoine d’Aubray and Francois d’Aubray, in 1670, in order to inherit their estates.” – Wikipedia: The Affair of the Poisons. One of the men involved in this scandal carried out a lucrative trade in what he called “inheritance powders,” the main ingredient of which was arsenic. Arsenic was used by nobility to murder one another in the course of palace intrigues and for this reason arsenic is known as the Poison of Kings and the King of Poisons. Zosimos and Albertus Magus were two such magic-practicing alchemists who reported preparing such toxic arsenic concoctions.

Wicca High-Priestess Sybil Leek in her book Diary of a Witch likewise speaks circa

67

1968 A.D. of “a rare fungus called the ‘Calendar of Death’ … used in three known cases to dispose of heads of state…the person intending to use it invites the intended victim…to take a meal with him. The fungus is carefully grated up and boiled with the vegetables. It is tasteless and the host takes care that the guest alone gets the portion with the tidbit in it. The guest returns home, replete with a good meal. For eighty-four days he feels nothing at all. On the eighty-fifth day he is taken ill with an infection of the intestines, lingers a few days, and ultimately dies. No autopsy reveals the use of the ‘Calendar of Death,’ and the host can rarely be associated with the demise of his one-time guest.” Just something to think about when you ponder that next dinner invite. Most assuredly: “Witchcraft, and Voodoo…relies greatly on poisoning for its magic, and the first gypsies [well known practitioners of magic] were said to poison unscrupulously.” – p.9 Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling by Charles G. Leland, 1891 A.D. In The Book of the Epodes of Horace, the poet Horace speaks of a victim fed poisonous herbs (Ode III) and of a bride befallen as she donned poisonous snake-venom injected garments the gift of an injurious witch (Ode V). Horace (65 – 8 B.C.) the leading Roman lyric poet during the days of Emperor Augustus (Horace was as well a ceremonial magician; typical of its time, lyric poets were in addition practitioners of magic; this tradition was continued by Medaeval Gaelic and British bards and various traveling minstrels and Neoplatonic troubadors [which morphed into theatrical groups such as the British bard Shakespeares’ group and later even into vaudeville stage magic shows, Broadway plays, Rock musicians/lyricists and eventually into Hollywood; indeed, as occult author/poet and practitioner of magic Robert Graves remarked in The White Goddess, the: “…true function of poetry is religious invocation of the Muse…”], and later by Romance Era poets such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats and even later as you’ll learn in a following chapter, by itinerant Beatnik magic-practicing poets). Horace had a special kind of consort known as a Hetaera (a compound of Hecate/Hera, the Roman and Greek names denoting the goddess of the witches), a witch with whom a ceremonial magician practiced sex magic named Canidia (a Scarlet Woman of sorts), by all accounts an accomplished sorceress as well as a concoctor of Colchian poisons (See Ode XVII; it really is an amusing little story, for Hell hath no fury like a Hetaera scorned. Colchi was a Black Sea region specifically known for its sorceries). Following the assassination of Julius Caesar by the cold steel of multiple traitorous daggers, no doubt of the magic althame variety, Horace joined the army, serving under the generalship of Brutus.

The magical use of herbs to concoct poisons was also the realm of the apothecary. The eminent seer Nostradamus was a famous apothecary of note (in William Shakespeare’s play entitled Romeo and Juliet, the elixir of death by which Romeo committed suicide was purchased by Romeo from such an “apothecary.” The word ‘seer’ is but a shortened form of the word ‘sorcerer’). Indeed, The Acts of John (circa the 2nd Century A.D.) speaks of “sorcery and the poisoner’s art that is sister to it,” for the well-honed art of concocting poisons and the successful execution of stealthy assassinations fall into the realm of magic, including the occult science of alchemy (as was the fabrication of gunpowder, an essential ingredient in modern warfare, originally an alchemical undertaking). And one must be reminded, according to 1Enoch VIII.1 and 1Enoch LXIX, it was the fallen angels who first taught mankind the ways of war (as well as must be remembered, the 68

use of magic and the use of herbs to harm as well as heal!). The Byzantine chronicler George Syncellus in his signal work Chronography (composed approximately 810 A.D.), quoting from the alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis writes: “The ancient and divine writings say that the angels became enamoured of women; and, descending, taught them all the works of nature. From them, therefore, is the first tradition, chema, concerning these arts; for they called this book chema and hence the science of chemistry (a cognate of ‘alchemy’) takes its name.” And let us not forget, Egypt was known as the ‘Land of Khem,” well known for its alchemists and as the area where the glass vessel essential to such alchemical undertakings first makes its debut.

As was the case with the sorcerer/ceremonial magician/Jewish Kabbalist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa who accompanied the armies of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian, magic practices have long been associated with martial enterprises: “The Assyrian armies were always accompanied by the Magi” and the “Chaldean chief of the Magi accompanied the Chaldean armies” (See S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man pp.113, 114). The worldly-wise alchemist Rennaissance-man Paracelcus in fact accompanied Imperial armies in roles of physician as well as magician.

Another famous example of a sorcerer aiding in martial pursuits in the role of a military adviser is the famed 13th Century Italian astrologer/astronomer/ceremonial magician Guido Bonatti, the most celebrated astrologer/astronomer of his day (Bonatti appears as a character in Dante’s Divine Comedy, fated to hell as punishment for his sorceries), councilor to the most powerful Holy Roman Emperor of the Middle Ages, Frederick II (1194 – 1250 A.D.), Sicilian leader of the Sixth Crusade. Bonatti’s astrological work entitled Liber Astronomicus (a ‘liber’ is by definition a ‘magic book’/‘grimoire’) is in part a treatise on warfare and the successful waging thereof. Indeed, the Malleus Maleficarum speaks of the existence of “Archer-wizards and enchanters of weapons” who served those who would martial forces in battle. And of course, Shaman-prepared poisoned darts and arrows have themselves claimed many a victim. No doubt Egyptian, Greek and Roman forces entered into battle brandishing magically enchanted swords. Indeed, in the Medaeval grimoire entitled The Greater Key of Solomon a practitioner of magic is provided the instructions by which may be created such an arsenal of magical weapons.

In Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft Letter III by Sir Walter Scott we learn of “Prophetesses (known as Hexe, meaning ‘witch,’ from Haxa, meaning ‘chief priestess’),” “females who had intercourse (who were in communication) with the spiritual world, (by definition, mediums)…honoured among the German tribes (in the time of the Roman general Tacitus) that…rose to the highest rank in their councils by their supposed supernatural knowledge, and even obtained a share in the direction of their armies.” Historically speaking, diviners/astrologers (also known by the modern moniker of FortuneTeller) were often consulted prior to any major military undertaking (much like, as we shall learn, many politicians of today). 1Samuel 28:1-19 in a like way tells us King Saul sought advice from the Spiritist medium and Pythoness-witch of Endor from whom he received an ill fated omen of impending martial defeat prior to his taking the field of battle against the Phillistines whose armies had gathered there against his. And one should think even the ability to heal by the use of mageia, or white magic, such as through a practical application of the magical use of herbs, would be useful for healing wounds sustained in battle. The preparation of poultices would indeed fall under this heading.

Many of the major players in the realm of magic possesse a martial background. You will find this to be the case time and time again (no doubt indicative of the presence of secretive magic societies within the American [and British] armed forces themselves. This certainly would explain outgoing-American President and formerGeneral Dwight D. Eisenhauer’s warnings concerning the Leviathan which was America’s unbridled military-industrial complex in his 1961 A.D. farewell address to the nation, which, I might add, is a horrifically prescient nightmare come dreadfully true). Is it any wonder warriors would invoke the god of war and magic Azazel?

Magic and the military are inextricably and indelibly ingrained, even at this later date (to magic practicing warriors, war itself involves an aspect of ceremonial human sacrifice, whether in the waging of the war or in its aftermath, a classic case in point being the Aztecs of Mexico who sacrificed prisoners of war to their gods during ritual magic ceremonies with enchanted obsidian knives upon Masonic temple pyramids).

Magic charms and magic talismans were employed as a type of super-natural protection/defense during battles, which, as one may assume due to the injurious nature of warfare, would be of major martial interest (as well as other magic spells/practices in general, such as the Shamanistic Ghost Dance of which it was believed rendered supernatural protection to Native American armed forces against the bullets of American cavalrymen). Such practices, ancient in their origin, are an abomination in the eyes of God. In Deuteronomy 18:1011,12 God warns: “There shall not be found among you any one…that useth divination (fortune-tellers), or an observer of times (astrologers), or an enchanter (such as an enchanter of weapons), or a witch (a Shaman), or a charmer (a maker of magic charms and talismans), or a consulter with familiar spirits (a medium), or a wizard (a ceremonial magician), or a necromancer (a Spiritist). For all that do these things are an abomination” as such practices involved the invocation of fallen angels or the application of knowledge derived therefrom (by an Overshadowed individual) who are even now as I write these words in active rebellion against God, as was also the case when this statement was firstly uttered thousands of years ago. Join them and you join in the angel’s rebellion against God. He shall destroy all martialed forces which opposeth Him at His coming. Make no mistake about it!

Magic practices were common in the 3rd-7th Centuries C.E. in the Jewish communities of Babylonia contemporaneously with and in the same communities which created the Babylonian Talmud (See Dan Levine, “Rare Magic Inscription on Human Skull,” BAR, March/April 2009 and Hershel Shanks, “Magic Incantation Bowls” BAR, January/February 2007). It must also be noted the composition of books on magic including The Great Grimoire of Pope Honorious III (a mediaeval magic manuscript [Sloane MS 313] once in the possession of British Spiritualist alchemist/ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee, and which, in the words of Sufi philosopher/ritual magician Idries Shah: “considered among writers on the occult, both modern and ancient, to be the most diabolical work of black magic which has appeared in written form, at any time”) and The Enchiridion of Pope Leo are purported to have been authored by popes of the Roman Catholic Church, although these claims have not been substantiated.

Though unsubstantiated, there remains the fact that in Europe in medaeval times before the advent of the printing press the people able to perform such tasks as the composition and copying of books were 71

cloistered in Roman Catholic monasteries must also at this time be noted, as public education was at the time virtually non-existent.

Monks and priests employed as copyists were akin to ancient Egyptian scribes/scriveners. (Notable quote: “Benedict IX, John XX, and the Sixth and Seventh, [Roman Catholic] Popes Gregory are all known in history as sorcerers and magicians.” – Isis Unveiled by H.P. Blavatsky)

According to Manly P. Hall, 50 of the 56 signatories of the Declaration of Independence were known Freemasons. Likely the rest were simply unknown members. Famous high-degree Freemasons (as previously noted, magic ceremonies are commonly performed by highdegree Freemasons) who played an important role in the foundation of America included our first American President, George Washington, as well as John Hancock, Paul Revere, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, the (French) Marquis de Lafayette, (the German/Prussian) Baron Von Steuben and Richard Henry Lee, who was related to the Civil War Confederate General Robert E. Lee (it must be noted one of the most famous of Freemasonic documents, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry was authored by Civil War Confederate General Albert Pike circa. 1871 A.D. (Pike is yet another example of a practitioner of magic with a military background. Pike, a learned Kabalist, was charged with fomenting Indian uprisings against Union army forces; no doubt he was familiar with their Shamanistic practices. Concerning Scottish Rite Masons such as Pike: “Scottish Rite lodges, sources of so many modern revolutions [or as in Pike’s case, rebellions], are more militant, more open and apparently more virulent than some of the others whom they are leading into a single world-organisation [read: a New World Order] by gradual steps.” - Philip II by William Thomas Walsh, 1937 A.D.). Such Confederate officers were an essential ingredient of the secret society known as the Ku Klux Klan (founded 1865 A.D.), a group whose leader is known as the Grand Wizard. A wizard is by definition a practioner of magic, a male witch. In fact, in 1869 A.D. the magicpracticing Pike became one of the leading Knights [Chief Judiciary Officer] of the Ku Klux Klan). Tubal-Cain was known as the ‘father of witchcraft and sorcery.’ His name, Tubal-Cain, is a Freemasonic password (Master Mason, 3°). (Notable Freemasonic Quote: “TubalCain…is the Vulcan of Greek mythology [a god who represented the fallen angel Azazel]…” - The Arcane Schools Chapter 2 by John Yarker; and again, S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.77 states 72

that due to what he calls “a continual change in the myths” dating back to “the most ancient times,” “Vulcan, god of fire, is become Tobalcain the smith.”). Magic, which includes the invocation of fallen angels, is likewise practiced amongst members of the Bohemian Club at the Bohemian Grove in California, members of which include many modern-day famous political and corporate elites. Doubtless many have Freemasonic backgrounds. Possible high-placed players of the modern Theosophical Movement? You make the call. One should think the Theosophical Movement circa 2011 A.D. to have progressed to include an organized collection of more worldly, more august, more outwardly secular economic-based organizations and corporations of high strategic value and import.

Many ancient “myths” contain kernels of truth. Such legends abound by which rulers and priests sought to prove and justify the worthiness of their ability to rule by fabricating stories of trips to the underworld where the incarnate angel Azazel, the original Magic Man himself, and his angels, are entrapped. Lucian of Samosota, in his work Menippus (The Descent into Hades) 6-9, speaks of going to Babylon to meet one of the many Magi whom he described as being disciples and successors of Zoroaster as Lucian “had heard that with certain (magic) charms and (magic) ceremonials they could open the gates of Hades (this explains the importance of the ‘key’ as a type of magic charm, it representing the key to open the very gates of Hades!), taking down in safety anyone they would and guiding him back again.” Now one must remember that Hades represented the place within the earth where Azazel and his angels were entrapped within their cherubim, quite possibly miles beneath the earth (the earth’s continental crust ranges in thickness from 30-50km/20-30 miles thick) below many tons of burning sand, so this was quite an extraordinary claim, and a completely false one at that (perhaps Plutarch provides a clue to its depth: “Osiris (Azazel’s cherub) really dwells in the earth and under the earth…But he indeed is at the furthest possible distance from (the surface of) the earth.” – De Iside LVIII). This service they did, however, offer for a fee, and in this way did the Magi separate the pious fools from their money (To quote the famous confidence/show man P.T. Barnum: “There’s a sucker born every minute.”).

Theosophical Society member William Q. Judge, writing in 1890 A.D., shades of the scam of the Babylonian Magi, states: “There is a world of beings known to the Indians as that of the Devas (the Devas 73

represent the rebellious fallen angels)…Into this world the purest theosophist (a practitioner of magic), the most spiritual man or woman, may go without consent…they (the Devas) are every now and then awakened or perceived by those who, while completely ignorant on these subjects, still persist in dabbling with (magic) charms and necromantic (read: magical) practices.” Judge was attempting (as he explains in 1892 A.D.) to remove superstitious elements from traditional Magical practices, bringing this field into alignment with emerging scientific reasonings in “a science called Gupta-Vidya” which translates as ‘Secret oral traditions.’ And indeed it is a science, the secret oral traditions of Kabalah as revealed by the fallen angels progressing to the realm today of the modern physicist and chemist (for more information see The Knowledge of Wisdom by John of the Gentiles). The sale of magic charms as protection against evil has fleeced many coins from the pockets of the superstitious populous sold to the people by fear-mongering magicians. Magic is quite the lucrative business garnering profits in the billions even today.

The Magi, from whence comes our word ‘magician,’ employed magical charms and performed ritual magic ceremonies, practiced the invocation of and communicated with spirits/angels and were considered to be Gnostics (the word ‘Mason’ is a cognate of the word ‘magic,’ both cognates of the Roman word ‘manes’ and the Greek word ‘mani’ who were the rebellious fallen angels with whom practitioners sought to communicate). It was such Magi (the three kings/three wise men of The Bible were Zoroastrian Magi [Masons]) who saw the star (a cherub/UFO) in the east in Persia and directed them to visit Jesus in a manger in Bethlehem as related in Matthew 2:1-2. The donning of exotic costumes by the Magi was practiced with the express intent that one should look like the phantoms who represented the jinn, the jinn being Azazel and his imprisoned angels, whom they ritually invoked, that in this way they might travel safely to and fro our place to theirs. From this practice comes the tradition of wearing costumes at Halloween. The Zoroastrian priests professed that they could open the very gates of Hades (no doubt by employing a key-shaped magical charm), descending and ascending at will through their use of ceremonial magic and rituals including animal and human sacrifices offered in propitiation to the nefarious fallen angels themslves. Masks are often worn today during Satanic rituals, magic rituals which likewise include animal and human sacrifices.

Halloween is a popular Satanic holiday.

To the Zoroastrian Magi, fire was sacred and this belief accounts for the Yule fires (made of Yule logs) and Beltane bonfires (a word derived from the bone fires of their sacrificial animals/humans) and the like. According to the Genesis Rabbah (The Bereshith), Nimrod, like the Zoroastrian Magi, worshipped fire. In Homily IX of The Clementine Homilies Chapter V Clement states that: “Therefore the magician Nebrod (the Greeks and Egyptians knew Nimrod as Nebrod. In the Septuagint version of The Bible, the name ‘Nimrod’ is also rendered as ‘Nebrod’), being destroyed by this lightning falling on earth from heaven, for this circumstance had his name changed to Zoroaster, on account of the living stream of the star (read: cherub) being poured upon him (Nimrod was killed by an angel in a cherub, albeit by an angel of the non-rebellious type). But the unintelligent amongst the men who then were, thinking that through the love of God his soul had been sent for by lightning, buried the remains of his body, and honored his burial-place with a temple among the Persians, where the descent of the fire occurred, and worshipped him (Nimrod) as a god.” In Chapter VI Clement continues: “Him (Nebrod/Nimrod) the Greeks have called Zoroaster,” and hence the name Zoroastrian.

Nimrod was the builder of the Biblical tower of Babel, and was himself a Mason. In Pseudo-Clementine Book IV Chapter XXVIII it is related how after Nimrod’s death “foolish men…extolled him…raising a sepulcher to his honor, they went so far as to adore him as a friend of God, and one who had been removed to heaven in a chariot of lightning (a cherub), and to worship him as if he were a living star. Hence also his name was called Zoroaster after his death-that is, living star.” It must be noted the work entitled The Oracles of Zoroaster and attributed to Zoroaster (Nimrod) himself speak of the sacred (read: magic) rites employed in the conjuration of divine beings, these divine beings being, of course, the rebellious fallen angels themselves. Beltane, a Druidic festival centered upon the imprisonment of the angels in their subterranean prisons is derived from the Zoroastrian belief system (the word ‘Druid’ is a cognate of the word ‘Duidain,’ the place where Azazel was said to be imprisoned within the earth). Our modern-day Halloween (the Celtic New Year) is derived from Beltane festivities. Witches and their black magic practices are mainstay symbols of Halloween.

The 20th Chapter of the 2nd Book of The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage states that the basis of many magical 75

beliefs was that the fallen angels have been made subject by God to mankind. This fact is the origin of the belief that fallen angels (demons) can be magically summoned to serve a human master: “Consider that it is the pride of the Demon (read: rebellious fallen angel) which hath chased him out of Heaven, and think what a heartbreaking thing it is for him to see a Man, made of vile earth, command him who is a Spirit, and who was created noble, and an Angel (as well) (note the synonymous use of the words ‘demon,’ ‘spirit’ and ‘angel’); and also that it is necessary that he should submit himself unto Man, and obey him, not of his own free will, but by force, and by a power of command which God hath given unto Man, to whom he is forced to humiliate himself, and to obey, he who had the greatest difficulty in submitting himself unto his Creator (God). And yet, notwithstanding all this, he is obliged by his most profound humiliation, and by his most severe suffering, to submit himself unto Man, for whom further is destined that Heaven which he himself hath lost for an Eternity.” If the rebel angels would not heed the commands of God Himself, why should a mere human being think these angels could be made to obey him? Such is the realm of the megalomaniac.

God abhors such magical practices: “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God…And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people…A man also or woman (a witch) that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.” - Leviticus 19:31,20:6,27 KJV And again: “There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire (from which is derived the ritual use of Yule/Beltane fires), or that useth divination, or an observer of times (an astrologer), or an enchanter (such as an enchanter of weapons), or a witch, or a charmer (a user of magical charms or amulets), or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard (such as a ceremonial magician), or a necromancer (such as a 76

Spiritist/Spiritualist, performers of seances/mediums). For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them (the populations of the magic-practicing nations whose lands the Israelis were to dispossess) out from before thee.” - Deuteronomy 18:10-12 KJV (See also Isaiah 8:19). God makes no such distinction between white or black or grey magic as such but comdemns this practice in all its forms.

In the Preface to King James’ book entitled Daemonologie we learn James (of King James Bible/KJV fame) was well learned in all matters philosophical, being well read of the works of ancient writers, being fully immersed in the science of comparative religions/mythologies.

As such he would have certainly been aware of the presence of the fallen angels and of the magic systems they inspired, which sought to conjure these angels (James therein specifically makes mention of the writings of the ceremonial magician Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (“Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim was born in Cologne (Germany) in 1486…He was first a soldier, and followed the armies of the Emperor Maximilian (of the Holy Roman Empire). He was knighted, studied law, medicine, and languages. As professor in Hebrew at Dole, in France (Agrippa was Jewish and well versed in Kabalah), he publicly expounded Reuchlin’s work on the Miraculous Word (the German cabalistic scholar Reuchlin penned a book called De Arte Cabalistica (The Cabalistic Art)). Then the (Roman Catholic) monks persecuted him, and he came to London (England) and lectured there.” – Jewish Mystics, An Appreciation (Hirsch)). Many attempted to and well succeeded in attempts to make contact with the fallen angels.

James defends his institution of the execution of witches saying the “assaults of Satan are most certainly practiced and that the instruments thereof (i.e. witches), merits most severely to be punished,” he putting into actual practice the exhortation found in Exodus 22:18 of his own King James Version of The Bible quite literally: “Thou shalt not suffer (allow) a witch to live.” See also The Realness of Witchcraft in America (by A. Monroe Aurand, Jr., 1942 A.D.) which agrees with this author’s conclusion when it states: “‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live,’ (Exodus 22:18) was made the basis of the persecution of witches, with all its horrors.” At any rate, England retained antiwitchcraft laws (called Witchcraft Acts) upon its books in one form or another often mandating the death or imprisonment as well as the confiscation of properties of the offender from the year 1542 A.D. 77

until their ultimate repeal in 1951 A.D.). No doubt Agrippa, a Jewish Kabalist, contributed to the proliferation of the magic practices King James had sought to repress. Indeed, according to Gerald B. Gardner, European witches of the Middle Ages (as was also the case with Pico de Mirandola) learned to practice magic from Jewish Kabalists: “During the Middle Ages many learned Christians, notably Pico de Mirandola studied the Jewish Qabalah, ostensibly ‘to bring about the conversion of the Jews;’ but actually to gain knowledge of its magical practices, which they then proceeded to give a Christian veneer to, so that later grimoires not only use the Hebrew Qabalistic Names of God and of the archangels to constrain the spirits, but also the names of Jesus, Mary, and the Apostles. The Wica (“Wica, meaning ‘The Wise Ones.’” - Gerald Gardner, Witch, by Idries Shah, 1960 A.D.) seem to have been taught certain beliefs, most probably by the Kabalists, which they have incorporated into their own.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft (Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D.)

Simon Magus, who is mentioned in Acts 8:9-24 was known as Simon the Zealot, commander of the Hebrew freedom fighters who advocated war against Roman rule in the 1st Century A.D. (Albert Pike in Morals and Dogma identifies Simon Magus as being the founder of the Gnostic faith. In fact, these Simonians as they are known were a Gnostic sect whose teachings, known as Simonianism, regarded Simon Magus as its founder and traced its doctrines back to him). By definition, ‘Magus’ means: 1. Zoroastrian priest: in the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, a priest 2. man with magical powers: especially in ancient times, a man with supernatural or magical powers (Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2005 Microsoft Corporation). (In King James’ Daemonologie James states: “it is most true indeed, that all these wise men of Pharaoh were Magicians of art: As likewise it appears well that the Pythoness (a ‘wicce’; a witch who summoned Typhon/Azazel. From ‘wicce’ comes the word ‘Wicca.’ wicca (masculine)/wicce (feminine)), with whom Saul consulted (the witch being, by definition, a Spiritist. See 1Samuel 28:7-9), was of that same profession: & so was Simon Magus.” - King James’ Daemonologie (1597 A.D) Book II Chapter I). (As Gerald B. Gardner explains in Witchcraft Today: “The modern popular idea that a witch was always a hideous spiteful old hag is entirely erroneous.

There were almost as many male witches as female; witches sat on the Councils of Kings and took part in the affairs of state; they wielded power, often with great ability, and were sometimes the actual rulers of the realm, the power behind the throne; they were consulted by the highest in the land in matters of difficulty whether public or private.” He goes on to say::

78

“…there have been many cases of sorcerers employing witches; but this was as mediums when something of a spiritualistic nature was attempted, that is, trying to communicate with the spirits” - Witchcraft Today (Gerald B. Gardner))

Apostles of Jesus also strove against practitioners of magic, even convincing a number of them as to the grave error of their ways, winning them over to Jesus, for as we learn that “not a few of them (“them” being the “Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus.” See Acts 19:18 ASV) that practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all (at the instigation of the apostle Paul); and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.” Acts 19:19 ASV . This was no insubstantial amount; it was certainly indicative of the popularity of magical practices involving the invocation of the rebel angel Azazel (at times involving actual communication with the angel) in the 1 st Century A.D. Roman period in Ephesus in Anatolia at a time when Ephesus boas ted a population of 250,000 inhabitants, a city only second to Rome in size and importance in all of the great Roman Empire! I mention this that one might know the encompassing influence of magic on all world religions—in fact the Biblical Daniel himself held the office of what amounts to ‘Master of the Magicians, Astrologers, Chaldeans, and Soothsayers’ (See Daniel 4:8-9 and Daniel 5:11-12) and not through a lack of knowledge of the art (this is not to say he conjured fallen angels. He was put in this position because he excelled over these magicians in prophecy, in foreseeing the future, thanks be to God. The prophet Samuel was also considered to be a ‘seer’ (See 1Samuel 9:11-19, though I don’t believe this to be the best translation of the word. I believe it also pertained to his ability to prophesy, also thanks be to God, as well as the fact God was in communication with Samuel). And as we learn from Acts 7:22: “Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians,” besting all of the Egyptian “wise men and the sorcerers” in magical contest, which group constituted the “magicians of Egypt,” thanks also be to God (See Exodus 7:7-12.

Early physicians such as Luke the disciple of Jesus were also thusly magically inclined (though he later left this profession to follow Jesus). This fact is particularly in evidence by the Renaissance physician/ceremonial magician Paracelsus. In fact, the magical use of herbs gave birth to modern medicine (from Latin medicus, “a physician.” For this reason a magic-practicing Native American 79

Shaman is known as a “medicine-man”). And an ‘apothecary’ is by definition one who dispenses medicine to a physician. Often the two were one, hence the proverb, “Physician, heal thyself.” See Luke 4:23). To truly understand the vast extent and widespread use of magic in nearly every ancient civilization and religious belief system (Christianity included), including Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Roman, etc, one should read Amulets and Superstitions by E.A. Wallis Budge. In addition, Manly P. Hall in his book, America’s Assignment with Destiny (1951 A.D.) unequivocally states: “All the aboriginal tribes of North America practiced mystical and magical rites.” This was true also of the tribes in South America, such as the Aztecs, who derive their name from that of the angel Azazel. Magic practices and beliefs are experiencing a renaissance in the world we live in today, with Pagan Reconstructionist movements playing a prominent role.

William J. Schnoebelen in The Dark Side of Freemasonry states: “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 (the 20th) century were Kabbalists.”

This agrees with what we learn from www.novelguide.com: “During the nineteenth century a revival of magic—based in large part upon the Kabala and the identification of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet (See the Sephira Yetzira, another Kabalistic mainstay) with the tarot (also known as the Book of Thoth.

The Egyptian god Thoth was the Greek god Hermes, from whom such Hermetic Orders/Societies such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn derive their names)—occurred in France, primarily around Éliphas Lévi. From Lévi a new appreciation of the Kabala passed to the magicians of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and through it to Aleister Crowley, a dominant practitioner of magic in the twentieth century. It would be difficult to think of modern magic without the Kabala and its related practices of gematria and path workings.” (Notable quote: “It must be understood clearly that witchcraft is a religion. Its patron god is the Horned God of…magic.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D. And Azazel is that Horned God)

Stage Magic such as that most famously practiced by the celebrated Hungarian-born Jewish-immigrant illusionist/escape artist Harry Houdini (real name: Ehrich Weiss/Erik Weisz, son of Jewish Rabbi (and Kabbalist) Mayer Samuel Weiss (1829–1892 A.D.).

Houdini was National President (1917-1926 A.D.) of the Society of American Magicians, the oldest fraternal magic organization in the 80

world (the world’s largest magic society is the International Magicians Society). In association with the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the SAM is still in existence today) as well as your garden variety staple of children’s birthday party rabbit-pulled-out-ofa-hat routine is also rooted in the practice of goeteia and mageia (ala parallel universes, also known as inner planes, the latest manifestation of which can be found in a system called Quantum Jumping, which in my opinion is the equivalent of what Kenneth Grant terms Jumping the Abyss, a jump through ‘superspace’ involving worm-holes/black holes, and which, I must say, is akin to the Vaulters/Leapers of the Chicago occultist and OTO leader Michael Bertiaux (leader of the Ordo Templi Orientis Antiqua), who was a close associate of Kenneth Grant). The Magi constituted an early version of modern-day Stage Magicians: “The Magi, also, not only know that there are demons, but, moreover, whatever miracle they affect to perform, do it by means of demons; by their aspirations and communications (with said demons) they show their wondrous tricks, making either those things appear which are not, or those things not to appear which are.” - The Octavius of Minucius Felix Chapter XXVI

As we learn from Gerald B. Gardner in what is known as the Gardnerian Book of Shadows (a Book of Shadows is a magician’s own personal magic book), the stock magic wand oft used as a prop for stage magicians is used during ceremonial magic practices: “to call up and control certain angels and genie.” (Much symbolism is contained in this seemingly harmless magic act. The rabbit-pulled-out-of-the-hat represents the magician’s demonic ‘familiar,’ a rabbit also being a symbol of a number of gods representing Azazel, it being yet another apt symbol for Azazel, as rabbits make their homes in briars within the earth)

One particular magic club of note dedicated to the promotion of the magic arts is The Magic Circle founded in London, England in 1905 A.D. which includes amongst its august members Charles, Prince of Wales, son of the current queen of England (a ‘magic circle,’ as must be noted, is an essential ingredient in ceremonial magic practices involving the invocation of angels/demons/spirits). Abracadabra!

Alacazam! Flee from your magic as fast as you can! (Notable quote: “The magic circle is a fundamental requirement of all kinds of occult ceremonial, and one of the most ancient. The magicians of Babylonia and Assyria used magic circles in their rites…The most famous [and certainly the grandest] magical circle of the island of Britain is Stonehenge.” – Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente. There also appears to be quite

81

an impressive ‘magic circle’ (consisting of a cross within a circle, the sign of Azazel; See Appendix A) at Christ Church College at Oxford Univeristy. The term ‘magic circle’ as a definition has come also to include that of an associated group of practitioners of magic)

It is said Stage Magic is all smoke and mirrors, and in this regard Stage Magic was rooted in astrology (ceremonial magic and astrological practices historically go hand in hand. Astrologers were, as a rule, sorcerers (prominent examples being the reknowned seer Nostradamus (1503 – 1566 A.D.) and the court astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I, the most illustrious Welsh magician Dr. John Dee (1597 – 1608/9 A.D.; Dee fell out of favor with the ascension of the Scottish King James I to the English throne at the death of Queen Elizabeth I, James being famously responsible for the creation of the King James Version (KJV) of The Bible which was named in his honor). As Indries Shah explains in The Secret Lore of Magic (1957 A.D.): “So closely bound up with the stars is magic that the terms astrologer and magician were formerly almost synonymous.” Such a link between sorcery and astrology is illustrated in Christopher Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus (1601 A.D.) where the magician Faust was said to have conjured the devil with the aid of a magic Zodiacal circle). In the 12th Century A.D., Astrology was divided into eight discernable branches included in which was “illusions, or magic…and the science of mirrors” (as well as necromancy, which is to say, spiritualism. See Astrology, p.137, Louis MacNeice, 1964 A.D. The 19th Century Spritualist Movement, when magic went mainstream, was originally derived from traditional magic/astrological practices already long established). At that time astrology was likewise inextricably entwined with astronomy (as well as mathematics).

Famous astronomers Galileo and Johannes Kepler were known to cast horoscopes in their capacity as astrologers for members of the ruling class (Arthur C. Clarke in The Promise of Space (1968 A.D.) p.5 writes of Kepler: “Johannes Kepler was the first man to discover the exact laws governing the movements of the planets—the same laws which now govern the movements of spacecraft…Kepler lived in an age that still believed in magic, and indeed his own mother had been charged with witchcraft.”). British mathematician T. H. Moody in A Complete Refutation of Astrology (1838 A.D.) writes: “Astronomy connects the mind (read: the microcosm) with the heaven (read: the macrocosm); but astrology associates it with the daemons of darkness” (read: with the fallen angels. Indeed, John Calvin (1509-1563 A.D.) called astronomy “a devilish superstition.” Compare also to American 82

author Henry Miller (1891-1980 A.D. Miller resided in California for the final 40 years of his life) who held “astrology” shows a “correspondence between macrocosm and microcosm,” totally Kabalistic vocabularily. Indeed, the 4th Century A.D. Christian astrologer Julius Fermicus Maternus held that “the astrologer mediates between human souls and celestial beings,” acting as a Spiritual medium). As a classical mathematician T. H. Moody would be in the know, as English philosopher slash Franciscan friar Roger Bacon (1214 – 1294 A.D.) identified two different kinds of “mathematics,” one being essential in the dispensation of magic and the other as it is employed in astrological computations, Pythagorean principles notable examples as such. Science is rooted in magic practices and religious rituals for within their arcane allegorical teachings may be found the secret knowledge of the angels (as we learn from Ebenezer Sibly in A New and Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences Book 4 (1795 A.D.) Roger Bacon was a “very famous associate with familiar spirits, and performed many astonishing exploits through their means”). And finally, as we learn from Sir Walter Scott in Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, the art of divination was known as ars mathematica, mathematics.

There also exists The Fellowship of Christian Magicians International, featuring Gospel Magic, the Catholic Magicians’ Guild, including an annual Magician’s Mass performed on the feast day of St. Don Bosco, Patron Saint of Stage Magicians(!), and a Judaic counterpart, Torah Magic, one main delver into which is the Jewish self-styled illusionist, Arthur Kurzweil, member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians.

Kurzweil interestingly enough [and which seems to highlight the association] authored a book entitled Kabballah for Dummies. And one last quick note concerning the history of stage magic, there exists a publication, a magic periodical devoted to all things Stage Magic (which is, at this time it is helpful to note, also known as Stage Conjuring), whose name is a revelation all in itself, that of the Pasadena/Los Angeles periodical (established 1936 A.D.) entitled Genii: The International Conjurer’s Magazine. The editor of the magazine is the founder of a school of magic (in the finest magic school tradition) known as the Academy of Magical Arts, an international organization headquartered at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA, home of the Count Dracula Society. As one may 83

reasonably ascertain from the magazine’s title, it caters to those magicians who are conjurers of genii. The word ‘conjure’ of course is Old French for ‘to invoke,’ and the genii are fallen angels (Dracula of course is fiction’s most famous vampire for whose story we owe a debt of gratitude to author and Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Bram Stoker. Concerning the subject of vampirism into which his novel delves: “The word ‘vampire’ is from the Slavonic wampyr; and since the famous novel Dracula, by Bram Stoker, and the many films and plays based upon it, people usually associate the belief in vampires with the Balkan countries (where Transylvania is located). It is not generally realized that this belief was formerly just as strongly held in Britain. Nevertheless, it is the real origin of the old custom of burying the unhallowed dead at a crossroads, with a stake through the corpse’s heart. The object of this practice, which was not abolished by law (in Britain) until 1823, was to prevent the corpse becoming a vampire. Vampirism has always been associated with black magic. Those who practiced black magic during their lifetime (such as witches and ceremonial magicians) were particularly likely to become vampires after their death.” – pp. 379, 380 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by Doreen Valiente, 1973 A.D.).

In conclusion, the genesis of all magic systems revolve around their adherents belief in and of their esoteric knowledge concerning the rebellious fallen angels (including the angels Satan and Azazel) and of the disembodied spirits of their dead hybrid offspring, including, in many cases, actual communication with them!

The following paints a Christian-magic/invocation-of-Jesus picture representative of the Christianization of a pagan concept, the substitution in this case being, namely, magic: “…whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (See Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13). And there is none other name of the Lord given under heaven whereby men are saved (See Acts 4:12), save that of God, which is Jesus Christ the Son of God, to which also the demons are subject and evil spirits and all apostate energies, by the invocation of the name of Jesus Christ, crucified under Pontius Pilate (See Luke 10:20 which states: “rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you” the disciples/apostles who would cast out demons in the name of Jesus). He is separated and withdrawn from among men, and (yet) there is a separation and division among mankind; and wheresoever any of those who believe on Him shall invoke and call upon Him and do His will, He is near and present, fulfilling the requests of those who with pure hearts call upon Him.” – Irenaeus, The Proof of the Apostolic Preaching Chapter 96-97

Chapter 4. Theosophy, European Style (Secret Teachings of Secret Societies) From Genesis 7:11 we learn the comet strike which caused the great Flood and which interred the angels within the earth took place in the 600th year of Noah’s life on 2/17 (Iyyar 17) 4340 B.C. The Celtic holy-day of Beltane was instituted to commemorate the day of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth on this day of Iyyar the 17th on the Jewish Sacred Calendar, which day being the Julian Calendar equivalent of May 1 (this is the date on which both Beltane and May Day is celebrated). In Norse traditions, Beltane eve, also known as Walpurgis Night, was known as the day of the “Enclosure of the Fallen,” which is to say, it commemorates the enclosure of the fallen angels in their subterranean earthen prison. As is described in 1Enoch X.9, the angel/human hybrid children of the Watchers/angels were all gathered together and made to “destroy each other in battle” in a Biblical Armageddon-like encounter, this event taking place on the eve of Iyyar 17.

Beltane is a Celtic holy-day celebrated on May 1 which commemorates the entrapment of Azazel and his angels (along with Azazel’s human wife) within the earth at the time of the Biblical Flood the day following the slaughter of their angel/human hybrid children.

Beltane festivals featured ritual acts designed to protect people from harm by Otherworldly spirits. Corresponding to a cross-quarter day, this holy-day was celebrated in the Northern Hemisphere as Samhain.

In medieval Ireland, Samhain became the principle festival where ritual bonfires (as part of magic rituals) were lit on hills, which is to say, on the high-places, throughout Ireland. The ancient Celtic festival of Samhain included a ritual celebration of the union of a chieftain god (representing the angel Azazel) and a mother-goddess (representing Azazel’s human wife), additionally seeking the propitiation of the spirits, from whence comes our celebration of Halloween (October 31), also showcasing the demons, ghosts and goblins which represented the fallen angels entrapped within the earth and the spirits of their dead angel/human hybrid offspring. In commemoration of the deaths of the human/hybrid offspring of the angels, Samhain is called the ‘Greater Sabbat of the Dead’ in Wiccan magic (‘Wicca’ is the Old 86

English name for a male witch). Cernunnos is the Wiccan Horned God. Azazel was known to wear horned-helmets. His ‘death,’ or rather, his interment within the earth, is marked on Samhain (October 31). Needless to say, Cernunnos represents the angel Azazel.

In Wicca, Samhain (October 31) also marks the descent of the Goddess, who represents Azazel’s human wife, into the Underworld.

In Celtic legends, the place within the earth where the angels are entrapped is called the Otherworld (this is also true of the Egyptians, from whom this concept likely originated. According to noted Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge in The Egyptian Heaven and Hell (p.87), the term ‘Other World’ was synonymous with the term ‘Underworld’).

As noted by Whitley Stokes in KZ 40:245 (1907), the word ‘Samhain’ is etymologically similar to the Proto-Celtic *samani, meaning ‘assembly,’ a word also etymologically similar to the Roman word ‘manes’ and the Etruscan word ‘mani,’ other worldly beings who represent the assembly of imprisoned fallen angels in whose honor this festival is celebrated. The Koran 6.128 likewise speaks of such an “assembly of jinn” (from Arabic jinn, collective plural, meaning "demons, spirits, angels"). The assembled group of jinn, which is to say, angels spoken of therein include Azazel and his group of imprisoned fallen angels. The book of magic known as The Greater Key of Solomon likewise speaks of such “assemblies” of “Evil and rebellious Spirits (read: angels) dwelling in the Abysses of Darkness” of whom its practitioners sought to “conjure” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VII). The Seventh Tablet of the Assyrian Story of the Creation Line 1 and Fragment-K 3449 Line 4 (See Records of the Past 2nd series, Vol. I ed. by A. H. Sayce/University of Oxford (1888 A.D.)) speak of such an “assembly” of “gods,” which is to say, of the existence of such an “assembly” of angels on our Earth whom the ancients revered as gods).

In his book entitled The Cloud upon the Sanctuary, Karl von Eckartshausen, who studied at the University of Ingolstadt under the Illuminatus Adam Weishaupt, reveals his esoteric knowledge concerning this assembly of fallen angels who are interred within the earth when he speaks of the presence of an “interior society,” a “hidden assembly, a society of the Elect” formed “after the fall of man” a “society of sages” (read: a group of fallen angels) which “communicated, according to time and circumstances, unto the exterior societies,” with those humans on the surface of the Earth, or 87

rather, was in communication with such individuals who sought to conjure them, and that “this interior illuminated circle” (located within Azazel’s circular cherub in the interior of the Earth), was an “illuminated community” (the Illuminati) which “counts its members from more than one world,” they being originally from the New Earth, and “which one day will be the Regent Mother of the whole World,” which is to say, will one day emerge to rule over the nations of our Earth. As such, Azazel and his group of fallen angels are the mysterious group known as the Illuminati. This illuminated group of fallen angels emerges to rule the Earth the result of a great earthquake on July 18/19, 2016 A.D. (ancient days were calculated from sunset to sunset). As related in Aleister Crowley: The Midnight Messenger by Mike Culkin: “Crowley first became aware of the existence of spiritual powers** (read: Aleister Crowley first learned about the existence of Azazel’s group of angels who are entrapped within the earth) in 1898 when he read The Cloud upon the Sanctuary by Karl von Eckartshausen (as quoted from above). Crowley was 22 at the time and set out to contact the hidden Order (Azazel and his angels) which the book describes. His efforts led to his initiation into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn on 18 November, 1898.” The “hidden Order” described in The Cloud upon the Sanctuary (circa. late 18th Century A.D.) was none other than the group of fallen angels headed by the fallen angel Azazel. Crowley was in actual communication with them!

(Notable quote: “Before continuing with the strictly historical narrative [of Western Magic] it is advisable to examine, first, what the [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn initiates meant by ‘Magic’…

Magic was defined by one initiate as ‘the science and art of creating changes in consciousness’ and to this phrase should, perhaps, be added the words ‘and entering into contact with non-human intelligences.’ – Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D.) (** “Magic is the knowledge of how to employ (read: command) spiritual powers (fallen angels)…” – Franz Hartmann)

The fact that one may actually make contact with Azazel and his group of rebel angels was an ancient Egyptian mystery teaching.

The following excerpt from The Emerald Tablets of Thoth (Thoth is a god who represents the angel Azazel) speaks of such a “hidden” “order,” a secret brotherhood which may be magic-ally conjured as it were, referring of course to Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth: 88

“Banded together as in order, Brothers (a brotherhood) of Darkness, they through the ages, antagonist they to the children of men (to humans). Walked they always secret and hidden, found, yet not found by the children of man. Forever, they walked and worked in darkness, hiding from the light in the darkness of night. Silently, secretly use they their power (the so-called “spirit of error,” the Vril force; ELF waves; Odic force), enslaving and binding the soul of men.

Unseen they come, and unseen they go. Man, in his ignorance calls Them (conjures them) from below (from where they lay entrapped beneath the earth).” - Tablet VI of The Emerald Tablets of Thoth (It is this band of brothers, of Azazel’s rebel angels, of which Theosophist William Q. Judge speaks when he explains: “In the early days of the Theosophical Society the name Mahatma (by which name they referred to the rebellious fallen angels) was not in use here, but the title then was “Brothers.” This referred to the fact that they were a band of men (angels incarnate) who belonged to a brotherhood in the East…Indiscriminately with Mahatma, the word Adept has been used to describe the same beings” - Echoes from the Orient Chapter X (William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.)) Thusly, Theosophists know the rebellious fallen angels variously as the Mahatmas, the Adepts, and the Brothers/the Brotherhood)

Ceremonial Magician A. E. Waite in a tome entitled DevilWorship in France Chapter I: Satanism in the Nineteenth Century (1896 A.D.) wastes no words when he explains that “the attempt to form a partnership with the lost angels of orthodox theology…constitutes Black Magic,” that “the purpose of Black Magic is simply and obviously to communicate with devils,” equivocating that “the spiritualist…receives the messages of the spheres (no doubt in the form of ELF waves; the “spirit of error,” the Vril force, waves being spherical in shape) and establishes a partial acquaintance with an order which is not of this world.” Azazel and his other worldly order of rebellious fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth is the original “Mystical Fraternity” (by definition ‘the quality or condition of being brothers;;’ a brotherhood) from which all other such magic-related “secret Fraternities” (secret brotherhoods) were derived due to mankind’s “associations from the past” with this angelic group as noted by A. E. Waite in Chapter 2 of his book entitled The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts (1910 A.D.). It must be noted A. E. Waite, in addition to being a Master Mason, was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and also a member of the Rosicrucian Society (SRIA; later he established the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross). This fact is importantant when establishing historical associations with these angels and those humans and groups in contact 89

with them. And this we most certainly will do.

“In the history of psychical phenomena the records of so-called ‘spiritualism’ in Europe, America, and elsewhere hold an important place (“In 1854 the [U.S.] Senate was petitioned to bestow its official sanction upon spiritualism and to make it a national institution. The matter was discussed in the Senate but was finally rejected.” - Devils Drugs and Doctors Chapter XIII: White and Black Magic (Haggard)). Advisedly I say that no term was ever more misapplied than that of ‘spiritualism’ to the cult in Europe and America just mentioned, inasmuch as there is nothing of the spirit about it. The doctrines given in preceding chapters are those of true spiritualism; the misnamed practises of modern mediums and so-called spiritists constitute the Worship of the Dead, old-fashioned necromancy, in fact, which was always prohibited by spiritual teachers. They are a gross materializing of the spiritual idea, and deal with matter more than with its opposite. This cult is supposed by some to have originated about forty years ago in America at Rochester, N. Y., under the mediumship of the Fox sisters, but it was known in Salem during the witchcraft excitement (during the Salem Witch Trials, circa 1692-1693 A.D.), and in Europe one hundred years ago (circa 1793 A.D.) the same practises were pursued, similar phenomena seen, mediums developed, and seances held. For centuries it has been well known in India where it is properly designated ‘bhuta worship,’ meaning the attempt to communicate with the devil…”

(Explains Judge: “Bhuta, devil, and elementary are nearly synonymous;; the first Sanskrit, the other English.”). - The Ocean of Theosophy (William Q. Judge 1893 A.D.). (The word ‘Buddha’ is a cognate of the word ‘Bhuta.’ I must say I whole heartedly agree with Hal Lindsey when he writes in his book entitled Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth: “Necromancy means calling up the dead or foretelling the future by communicating with the dead. Usually when a medium calls up someone from the dead, it is a demonic deception: that is, a demon impersonating someone who is dead will begin to speak through the medium.” I would say this is the case in every instance!) (“The witches’ belief that ‘the power’ [of clairvoyance] resides within themselves, and that their rites serve to bring it out, is the great difference between them and the practitioners of ‘ceremonial magic,’ black or white. The latter proceed by the invocation or evocation of spirits, sometimes of demons, whom they seek to compel to serve them. This is not the witches’ way, though they believe that helpful spirits, human or otherwise, come of their own accord to assist in their rites, and that those present who have developed ‘the Sight’ (i.e. clairvoyance) may see such spirits.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D.)

Spirtualism is inextricably entwined with Magic: 90

“Spiritualism in the hands of an adept becomes Magic, for he is learned in the art of blending together the laws of the Universe, without breaking any of them and thereby violating Nature. In the hands of an experienced medium, Spiritualism becomes Unconscious Sorcery; for, by allowing himself to become the helpless tool of a variety of spirits, of whom he knows nothing save what the latter permit him to know, he opens, unknown to himself, a door of communication between the two worlds, through which emerge the blind forces of Nature lurking in the astral light, as well as good and bad spirits.” [from The collected writings of H.P.Blavatsky -I, 137]” - Deity, Cosmos and Man by Geoffrey Farthing

Incredibly enough, a prominent number of novels coming out of the Spiritualist Movement of the 18th – 20th Centuries in Europe and America speak of the existence of Azazel and the rebellious fallen angels and how these angels interact with human societies on our Earth. In Chapter 12 of The Goal of Life (1908 A.D.) the esoteric author Hiram E. Butler speaks of Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth when he professes the existence on our Earth of an “Eternal Brotherhood…gathered from those who are called in Genesis vi. 2 ‘the sons of God’ (read: angels),” a group which secretly abides here upon our Earth. In the pursuit of spiritual truth, writes Butler in 1887 A.D. at the height of the American Spiritualist Movement in his book entitled Solar Biology: “We have to confront numerous traditions regarding a fallen race, tempters of Adam and Eve,” who are “‘the powers and principalities of the air’ (read: the angels. See Ephesians 6:12), against which the people of this earth have to contend.” (Hiram E. Butler was [circa 1910 A.D.] “Professor of Latin at the University of London” See The Golden Ass xii 1924 A.D. edition.

According to Jaques Vallee in Messengers of Deception p.143, the writings of Hiram E. Butler were a major influence on the group known as the Order of Melchizedek. In 1889 A.D., Butler moved from Boston to California with a dozen disciples there to establish an early commune-type Spiritualist Esoteric Fraternity. Note in total they make 13 individuals, the typical number in a traditional witch’s coven composed of eleven witches, a high priest and a high priestess)

The group consisting of Azazel and his rebellious fallen angels are variously known amongst esoteric orders as the Illuminati, the Universal Brotherhood, the Ancient Mystical White Brotherhood, the Great White Brotherhood, the Great Brotherhood of Light, the Great White Lodge, the Brotherhood of the White Lodge, the Great White 91

Lodge (of the Adepti), the Great Chiefs (Tchatchau), the Secret Chiefs (Unbekkanie Oberen), the Inner Chiefs, the Inner Chiefs of the Third Order, the Inner Order of the OTO (the Inner Head of which is Azazel), Inner Plane Adepti, the Adepts, the Masters, the Ascended Masters, the Masters of the Hidden Brotherhood (also known as Mahatmas, Adept Brothers, Elder Brothers and more recently with the appearance of the so-called UFO cargo cults, ‘Space Brothers’), the Ancient Aryan Masters, the White Masters (for which reason Azazel’s human wife is known as the White Goddess/the White Lady), the Masters of Wisdom, the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, the Masters of Higher-Knowledge, the Hidden Order (Stella Matutina uses this phrase to denote this group, which term is derived from the “hidden Order” as described in The Cloud upon the Sanctuary) the Hidden Directorate and the Inner Government of the World. These fallen angels (aided by human helpers) are the true leaders of the New World Order.

The term ‘Secret Chiefs’ is the name the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn uses to denote Azazel’s group of rebel angels. In fact, the highest order in the Western Magic hierarchy of official grades is the: “…Third Order. The members of this (Third Order)—the Secret Chiefs—were considered to be the Great White Lodge of the Adepti, the ‘Mahatmas’ who had given Madame Blavatsky her mission.” – Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism (Francis King, 1989 A.D.) p.65.

Those who are said to occupy this order are the rebel fallen angels themselves! This group occupies the top of the Western Magic hierarchy. In fact, high-placed members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn were closely associated with high-placed members of the Theosophical Society itself: “(William Wynn) Westcott (one of the co-founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) was a personal friend of Madame Blavatsky (president and founding member of the Theosophical Society) and while she lived there was a friendly alliance between the Eastern Section of the Theosophical Society and the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn. He (Wescott, a reputed leader of the ‘Order of the Palladium’) was also associated with the Christian mystics Anna Bonus Kingsford and Edward Maitland, of the London Hermetic Society...” – Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D. (Annie Besant, president of the Theosophical Society, as we learn from Annie Besant:

An Autobiography, frequented the very same “centre of heretical thought” as Edward Maitland, namely, the Ramsgate residence of English Freethought (Freethought tenets almost always tend to run counter to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church) Theist publisher Thomas Scott (who employed as an emblem a ‘serpent twined on a tau cross’ (See History of Freethought in the Nineteenth Century Part 2, by J.M. Robertson p. 400, by definition a palladium, the sign of Azazel (See Appendix A), signaling his membership in the super secretive Freemasonic ‘Order of the Palladium’ [which performs the New and Reformed Palladian Rite instituted by Albert Pike and Giuseppe Mazzini; it is a distinct possibility that the inner circle of this group represented a Palladian Society which admits both males, dubbed “Companions of Ulysses” (2°) and females, called “Companions of Penelope” (2°), within its ranks (1° = Adelph, androgynous in nature consisting of both male and female members)] and no doubt Thomas Scott was of the very highest Freemasonic degree), whose “correspondence was enormous, from Prime Ministers downwards (“clerics and laymen, scholars and thinkers, all coming to this one house,” the house of Thomas Scott). At his house met people of the most varied opinions; it was a veritable heretical salon.”

Included in this group was philosopher Charles Bray, whose “Rosehill Circle” (a circle is often common code for a witch’s circle) included transcendentalist/Spiritist Ralph Waldo Emerson) (According to Craig Heimbichner in Blood on the Altar: The Secret History of the World’s Most Dangerous Secret Society (2005 A.D.) the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) is the embodiment of the ‘Order of the Palladium,’ both of which Orders accepted males and females within its ranks and both of which were known to practice ‘sex magick’) (A book declared by Aleister Crowley to be an essential part of any magick library entitled Heavenly Bridegrooms as written by the selfdescribed “earthly wife of an angel,” a Freethought advocate, Chicago witch and Spiritualist medium involved in “psychical research” [she exhibiting more than a passing familiariarity with the findings of the Society for Psychical Research] named Ida C. Craddock (1857 – 1902 A.D.) is thought to have played an important role in the sex-magick rituals of the OTO. As we learn from Wikipedia: “In the latter part of the 19th century, sexual reformer Ida Craddock published several works dealing with sacred sexuality, most notably Heavenly Bridegrooms and Psychic Wedlock. Aleister Crowley reviewed Heavenly Bridegrooms in the pages of his journal The Equinox, stating that it was: ‘...one of the most remarkable human documents ever produced, and it should certainly find a regular publisher in book form. The authoress of the MS. claims that she was the wife of an angel. She expounds at the greatest length the philosophy connected with this thesis (including the sexual intermingling of humans and angels as set forth in Genesis 6:4). Her learning is enormous. ...This book is of incalculable value to every student of occult matters. No Magick library is complete without it.’ Sexual techniques from Craddock's Psychic Wedlock were later reproduced in Sex Magick by O.T.O. initiate Louis T. Culling (a member of Jack Parsons OTO lodge). – Wikipedia: SexMagic. Ida C. Craddock is yet another product of the British Museum and was known to have taken classes offered by the Theosophical Society and served as Secretary for the The American Secular Union and Freethought Federation which publically advocated for the total separation of church and state. An anti-Christian coalition in the form of Secular Humanism and the associated Freethought movement brought together many diverse people such as Atheists, practitioners of magic, Spiritists, Spiritualists, homosexuals and socialists into one heterogeneous whole seeking safety of numbers as individually they were subjected to withering attacks by Christians in the form of persecutions, prosecutions and imprisonments.

As the old saying goes, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”)

Theosophist and one-time President of the Theosophical Society Annie Besant in her book entitled The Masters (1912 A.D.) likewise speaks of great teachers who are “Guardians of humanity” (read: guardian angels) forming a “great Brotherhood” who while being “incarnate, 93

they remain in retired and secluded spots, away from the tumult of human life,” and who are said to “aid, in countless ways, the progress of humanity.” C. W. Leadbeater, 33° Freemason and prominent early member of the Theosophical Society (who was once employed as a tutor to the son of Theosophical Society President A.P. Sinnett and of Dr. George Sidney Arundale, President of the Theosophical Society Adyar in India and son of Annie Besant), writes the following concerning this angelic group as presented in The Masters and the Path (1925 A.D.) Part I: The Masters, Chapter I: The Existence of the Masters General Considerations: “The possession of extended vision and other faculties resulting from the unfolding of our latent powers has also brought within our constant experience the fact that there are other orders of beings than the human, some of whom rank alongside the Adepts in a grade of existence higher than our own…whom we call Devas or Angels.”

Theosophists consider the incarnate angels to be a very real genus higher on the evolutionary scale than normal human beings: “The highest system of evolution specially connected with this earth, so far as we know, is that of the beings whom Hindus call the Devas, and who have elsewhere been spoken of as angels, sons of God, etc. They may, in fact, be regarded as a kingdom lying next above humanity, in the same way as humanity in turn lies next above the animal kingdom…” - Devachanic Plane by C.W. Leadbeater, (1896 A.D.).

In The World Mother As Symbol and Fact Leadbeater states these: “Angels take a very great part in the direction of evolution.” In Glimpses of Masonic History Leadbeater expands on this subject as he announces: “…human evolution…is being definitely directed from behind by a body of perfected men which we call the Great White Brotherhood” (angels as we learn from The Book of Enoch, are in appearance Caucasian: “…there came forth from heaven beings who were like white men” (See The Book of Enoch LXXXVII.2)). And again: “…the evolution of the world is not being left to run its course haphazard, but that its direction and administration are in the hands of a great Hierarchy of Adepts, sometimes called the White Brotherhood” (he makes an allusion of course to the “assembly” of “just men made perfect” mentioned in Hebrews 12:23 though of this he speaks erroneously for they are in fact a group of incarnate fallen angels 94

banished to our Earth by God for their injustices) - The Inner Life (Second Series) Volume II by C. W. Leadbeater (Masonry is a construct of the rebellious fallen angels: “…the movement which is generally termed Masonic had its roots in that true mysticism which originated…from the spiritual Hierarchy (read: from the group of the rebellious fallen angels) which guides the evolution of the world…” – Traces of a Hidden Tradition in Masonry and Mediaeval Mysticism p.31-32 (Cooper-Oakley, London, 1900 A.D.)). Speaking of this order of angels Leadbeater goes on to say:

“There has always been a Brotherhood of Adepts, the Great White Brotherhood; there have always been Those who knew, those who possessed this inner wisdom, and our Masters are among the present representatives of that mighty line of Seers and Sages” (See The Masters and the Path Part II: Chapter III: The Way to the Master (“The Masters of the Path are spiritual beings.” - Letters From a Sufi Teacher: The Theosophy of Islam (Shaikh Sharfuddîn Manerî, 1867 A.D.). Azazel is known as the ‘Chief Seer’). In fact, Leadbeater claimed to be in contact with this angelic

group: “…many of us are, and have been for many years, in daily communication with these Great Ones” - Masters of Wisdom (Adyar Pamphlets No. 86) by C. W. Leadbeater.

Aleister Crowley, like C. W. Leadbeater, regarded the Great White Brotherhood as a very real entity, mentioning them in his book Magick. Crowley, in Eight Lectures on Yoga p.43, goes as far as to say he is a representative of the Great White Brotherhood itself. At any rate, Theosophists such as Leadbeater and Madame Blavatsky staged séances by which they attempted to contact otherworldly “spirits” (in Spiritualism and Philosophy Chapter IX (518) Leadbeater mentions the “séances” he has attended). Such séances were a popular pasttime of the day, one prominent example being Mary Todd Lincoln’s hosting of séances in the White House some of which were attended by President Abraham Lincoln (Notable quote: “Even Abraham Lincoln was a spiritualist and openly admitted that he based some of his decisions upon information and advice he received at seances.” – p.285 UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D. This of course violated one of Allen Kardec’s cardinal rules, the man who literally wrote the book on spirit mediumship, as set forth in his Mediums and Evokers’ Handbook (1861 A.D.): “Do not live by the spirit’s advice…”). One of Lincoln’s political decisions of note, however, based on the advice of spirits with which he communicated (as related in Buckland’s Book of Spirit Communication pp.33-34), resulted in the emancipation of the slaves.

The Ouija© Board from Parker Brothers (patented in 1920 95

A.D.) is based on the concept of spirit boards (including a heartshaped planchette, some including two-wheels and a pencil for purposes of auto-matic writing) made popular during the quasi-modern Spiritualist Movement of which Theosophy was a part (as an example of the popularity of such spirit boards in American culture, even the all-American artist Norman Rockwell executed a painting entitled The Ouija Board depicting a man and woman happily gathered round a Spiritist’s Ouija Board, appearing no less, on the May 1 (May Day!), 1920 A.D. cover of The Saturday Evening Post). Concerning the use of Ouija Boards to communicate with spirits, a book written by former British Society for Psychical Research member J. Godfrey Raupert entitled The New Black Magic and the Truth About the Ouija-Board (1919 A.D.) pp.233-4 explains: “The practice itself is no discovery of modern science—nothing new in the world of phenomena, as some would have us believe; on the contrary, it is as old as man. In China the little board has been known for centuries and is admitted to be a means of spirit-intercourse (See Fuji planchette-writing). In one form or another, these practices were indulged in by the pagan races and may indeed be considered to be characteristic of the pagan civilizations. They were condemned and forbidden by the laws of Moses because they were known to undermine and destroy the true spiritual life of the people. They fell into disuse as the light of Christianity spread through the world. Their revival, in our time, is not a step forward but a step backward; it is a return to distinctly heathen and anti-Christian beliefs and practices and additional evidence of the fact that the world is once more relapsing into paganism.” Aleister Crowley was himself known to employ such spirit boards during some of his Magick ceremonies (which he used not only to summon spirits but angels as well; oft times they are one and the same).

In a similar vein, a book entitled Oahspe: A Kosmon Bible in the Words of Jehovih and his Angel Embassadors Chapter IV: Book of Wars Against Jehovih v. 14 by John Ballou Newbrough (1882 A.D.), a purported product of ‘automatic writing’ (allegedly dictated by a spirit; also known by the pseudo-scientific name of polygraphics) during the Spiritualism Movement in America, speaks of the existence of: “angels from above…from the colleges of Craoshivi” (‘Craoshivi’ is therein translated as “God’s heavenly place”), a group who “were to sojourn on the earth…as inspiring spirits and protectors (read: as guardian angels),” with Newbrough surmising that “angels” have indeed “dwelt 96

on the earth.”

Theosophist author and prominent Theosophical Society member Alice A. Bailey circa. 1922 A.D. in America speaks of the existence of Azazel and the rest of the rebellious fallen angels when she explains: “In Lemurian days (from Latin lemures (plural) “spirits of the dead”), after the great descent of the spiritual Existences (read: of the rebellious fallen angels) to the earth (the angels arrived on Earth in 5000 B.C.), the work They planned to do was systematized (the work these angels planned to do, it must be noted, included the eternal destruction of the entire human race). Offices were apportioned, and the processes of evolution in all the departments of nature were brought under the conscious wise guidance of this initial Brotherhood. This Hierarchy of Brothers of Light still exists, and the work goes steadily on. They (the angels who constitute this ‘Botherhood’) are all in physical existence (incarnate), either in dense physical bodies, such as many of the Masters employ, or in etheric bodies, such as the more exalted helpers and the Lord of the World occupy (Azazel is the Gnostic Iadabaoth, who was called the “Lord of the World,” being he whose anger blazed with jealous rage at the created primal man Adam who became superior to himself. As the Illuminatus university professor [who played an active role in the Revolution of 1905 in Russia] Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski writes in Beasts, Men and Gods: “The Lord of the World is in touch with the thoughts of all those who direct the destiny of mankind...”). It is of value for men to remember that They are in physical existence (the angels are incarnate), and to bear in mind that They (angels) exist upon this planet with us, controlling its destinies, guiding its affairs, and leading all its evolutions on to an ultimate perfection. The central home of this Hierarchy is at Shamballa, a centre in the Gobi desert (gobi means “desert”), called in the ancient books the “White Island.” (It derives its name from the place in the desert where Azazel is located, which is called “The Island” by Arabs, being situated as it is between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers)…Several of the Masters (read: angels) in physical bodies dwell in the Himalaya mountains, in a secluded spot called Shigatse (in Tibet), far from the ways of men, but the greater number (of rebellious fallen angels) are scattered all over the world, dwelling in different places in the various nations, unrecognised and unknown (concerning this subject see Hebrews 97

13:2 which states: “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares,” the angels being virtually indistinguishable from the native human inhabitants of the Earth. Indeed, it was revealed in the East the: “Jinn (rebellious angels)…appear in human shape amongst mankind…” - Studies in Islamic Mysticism. Unbeknownst and unawares to many, to be sure, angels stride the hallways of power, intelligence agencies and commerce upon this planet. In this regard the award for Most Interesting Choice of Words [uttered concerning a conflict of viewpoints on U.S. economic policy] goes to [drumroll please]: Congressional Majority Leader John Boehner, 09/15/11: “It’s almost like we’re two different people from two different planets who don’t understand each other.”

Perhaps less almost than exactly)…It might here be well to point out that, working as members of that Hierarchy are a great number of beings called angels by the Christian, and devas by the oriental.” Initiation, Human and Solar (Alice A. Bailey, 1922 A.D.) Chapter IV: The Founding of the Hierarchy (“The word that the Eastern uses for God is a word equivalent to your ‘angel’ or ‘archangel,’ not the One Supreme Being whom you alone speak of under that name. When the Hindu speaks of the Deva so and so, it only means Shining One, the very word that John Bunyan applied to the angels in the Pilgrim's Progress.” - Mysticism by Annie Besant) (Which brings us to the U.N. and Robert Muller. “Robert Muller (born 1923 in Belgium, dead September 20, 2010) was an international civil servant with the United Nations. Under Secretary General for 40 years, his ideas about world government, world peace and spirituality led to the increased representation of religions in the U.N., especially of New Age Movement.

He has become known as the ‘Philosopher’ of the U.N.…Muller's educational project is described in the World Core Curriculum Manual: ‘the underlying philosophy upon which the Robert Muller School is based will be found in the teaching set forth in the books of Alice A. Bailey by the Tibetan teacher, Djwhal Khul.’ Bailey was a famous theosophist, while Khul was the ‘Ascended Master’ (a fallen angel) - a spiritual entity - who allegedly imparted knowledge to Bailey.’ – Wikipedia: Robert Muller. What did Robert Muller say about the implementation of a New World Order? He once wrote: “We must move as quickly as possible to a one-world government; a one world religion; under a one-world leader.” - The U.N. and the Occult Agenda. Yes. They even run the U.N.! It is no coincidence the U.N. flag as well as the U.N. emblem incorporates a derivative of the title figure of the 1730 A.D. edition of Hermetic theosopher Jacob Boehme’s Signatura Rerum)

Likely it is this “Hierarchy,” at its core consisting of angels who as per Alice Bailey “exist upon this planet with us, controlling its destinies, guiding its affairs,” of which speak the following quotes: “Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power (‘power’ is a word synonymous with the word ‘angel’) somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful (a play on the word ‘Watchers’/angels), so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, 98

that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” - Woodrow Wilson (1913 A.D.) *** “A power (‘power’ again is a word synonymous with the word ‘angel,’ this being a play on words) has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various powerful interests, combined in one mass.” - John C. Calhoun, Vice President of the United States *** “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible (hidden) government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.” - Theodore Roosevelt (Notable Quote: “There are two governments in the United States today. One is visible.

The other is invisible. The first is the governments the citizens read about in the newspapers and children study about in their civics books.

The other is the interlocking, hidden machinery…The Invisible Government is not a formal body. It is a loose amorphous grouping of individuals and agencies…This second, invisible government gathers intelligence, conducts espionage, and plans and executes secret operations all over the globe.” – The Invisible Government Wise/Ross, 1964 A.D.) *** “The real rulers in Washington are invisible (hidden), and exercise power from behind the scenes.” - Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter (1952 A.D.) *** “There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” - Senator Daniel K. Inouye *** Annie Besant in The Inner Government of Our World speaks of the shadow government of the world which is composed of rebellious fallen angels: “all the activities of our world…are directed by a Group of great Beings” an “Occult Government of the World…considering the especial Government of our own world, the Occult Hierarchy (of angels) as it is called, the Beings (angels) composing that (Occult Hierarchy) having come to our earth in the middle of the third human Race from the planet Shukra (Venus)... (read: from an alien planet; the angels came, in fact, from the New Earth. At that time people were naïve enough to believe the angels when they said they came from the planet Venus)…They were of Those who originally came to our world for its helping, and who are still with us…the high Devas (the rebellious fallen angels)...are the true inner Rulers of our world.” - The Inner Government of Our World (Annie Besant) (In the immortal words of the angel Azazel: “…the government of the worlds…and the changes of their directors are determined by me (Melek Tawus, who is the angel Azazel)” - Al-Jilwah 99

*** According to C. W. Leadbeater “the Great Brotherhood (of angels)…rules the world.” - The Inner Life (First Series) *** “Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible (hidden) government which is the true ruling power of our country. Our minds are molded, our tastes are formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men (read: incarnate angels) we have never heard of.” - Walter Bernays, 1928 A.D. *** “The drive…is to create a one world government...Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope…” Congressman Larry P. McDonald (1976 A.D.) *** “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”

– James Paul Warburg *** The working members of the Hierarchy constitute a Shadow Government bent on World Government and is centered in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Theosophists call the place where these angels lay entrapped within the earth Kamaloka (the word ‘Kami’ means ‘gods.’ Compare to Camalot, derived from another legend which we shall later discover also revolves around the angel Azazel). That the rebel angels are in control of this Earth is verified by The Bible: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood (humans), but against principalities, against powers (angels), against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” - Ephesians 6:12 KJV. Included in the ‘Hierarchy’ of is Satan and his group of angels: “And the devil (Satan), taking him (Jesus) up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him (Jesus), ‘All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me;; and to whomsoever I will I give it.’” - Luke 4:5-6).

The world is Satan’s oyster. He gives it to whomever he pleases, and indeed, has given it, and indeed, will give it. They to whom it has been given control it now. Globalization of economies under a oneworld government, secretly headed by the leadership of Satan, and seconded by Azazel, in a New World Order, is the ultimate aim of the Masons and of Freemasonry, branches of one organization with the same common goal, all part of The Great Work known as the Theosphical Movement, which is the Mystery of Lawlessness of which 2Thessalonians 2:7 speaks, which was already a ‘work’ in progress in Jesus’ time. At the present moment this goal nears its attainment.

Another such incarnation in the Theosophical Movement is the Bohemian Club. The Bohemian Grove membership list reads as a (The Revelation) Chapter III)

100

‘Whose Who’ of American Political, Cultural, Financial and Defense interests. Bohemian Grove magic ceremonies invoke these rebellious fallen angels, invoking the ‘spirit of Bohemia,’ the word ‘Bohemia’ being a variation of the word ‘Behemoth,’ the name of Azazel’s cherub, also representative of its associated angel, namely, Azazel.

Azazel is aided in this goal of establishing a New World Order

by Satan’s group of rebel angels. It must be remembered, there was rebellion in heaven led by Satan: “Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon (Satan); and the dragon (Satan) and his angels fought, but they were defeated…” - Revelations 12:7-8 Satan the Dragon and his fellow seditious angels were thrown down to our Earth where they secretly reside today: “And the great dragon (Satan in his cherub, ‘Leviathan.’ The word ‘dragon’ is synonymous with the word ‘cherub’) was thrown down, that ancient serpent (a reference to Satan’s cherub Leviathan), who is called the devil (a deva) and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world— he was thrown down to the earth (to our Earth, where he currently resides), and his angels were thrown down with him (exiled to our Earth when his rebellion was defeated). And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for (Satan) the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent (the words ‘dragon’ and ‘serpent’ are synonymous with the word ‘cherub’), who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him…Woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you…” - Revelations 12:7-10,12 (Notable associated quote: “Christianity agrees with Dualism that this universe is at war. But it does not think this is a war between independent powers. It thinks it is a civil war, a rebellion, and that we are living in a part of the universe occupied by the rebel.” – C.S. Lewis (1943/1945 A.D. In his book Mere Christianity, Lewis therein calls Satan the Great Rebel)

In a long bygone day, a defeated Satan was thrown down to our Earth and his rebel angels were thrown down with him! They secretly reside here even today! While Azazel is interred within the recesses of 101

the earth, Satan’s band of angels secret themselves within the water bodies of our world (for greater details, see Evildoer Added to Evildoer: The Story of Satan, Azazel and the Rebellious Angels by John of the Gentiles). Indeed, The Testament of Kohath, speaks of: ‘…the eternal sinners (the rebel angels hidden)…in the depths of the sea and in all the hollows of the earth.”

Alien angels have visited our Earth and have in fact remained. It is likely some of Satan’s group of fallen angels today marry and are given in marriage as did their angelic campadres (Azazel and the angels who accompanied him, 200 in all) as related in Genesis 6:4.

Angels have a long history of influencing events in the world in which we live, as the Biblical narrative attests. While shaping its history these rebel angels await God’s forthcoming Judgment, awaiting certain punishment, and have vowed to take with them as many humans as possible. Those humans in league with the rebel angels will share in these angels’ destruction—earn a share in their everlasting pain. Let not the wise amongst thee falter. Our birthright is the Kingdom of Heaven and death the bridge to eternity. We shall soar amongst the stars…

Chapter 5. Azazel: A European Love Affair According to the 33° Freemason Rudolph Steiner in Chapter V of Cosmic Energy, contact between these so-called Lemurians (read: the angels) and mankind “consisted in a kind of ‘thought reading.’”

Writing in articles for his magazine entitled The Path, mystic Theosophist William Q. Judge (one of the original founding members of the Theosophical Society) under a variety of aliases professes the existence of “beings known to the inhabitants of Indians as that of the Devas” ) (1890 A.D.) (the word ‘Deva’ is a cognate of the word ‘Devil.’ The Devas represent the rebellious fallen angels, and Judge asserts these angelic “Adepts” have in the past and are now “assisting all good movements by acting on men from behind the scenes through mental influence” (1893 A.D.) (this mental influence, the transference of actual thoughts through ELF wave transmissions [through a form of microwave information transfer], is the ‘spirit of error’ of which The Bible speaks);; “They (these angels) watch (a play on the word ‘Watchers’) the progress of man and help him on in his halting flight up the steep plane of progress” (1883 A.D.);; that Judge and his fellow Theosophists “are working with and for the great unseen, but actual, Brotherhood” (Amazingly enough they actually profess to be working with and for Azazel’s group of fallen angels!) (1892 A.D.); that this Brotherhood of angelic “Adepts…consciously send messages from a distance” and “impress thoughts or sentences on the mind of another at a distance” [through a form of microwave ELF information transfer] (1892 A.D.), that this they do through telepathy: “Telepathy**…is the communicating of thought or idea from mind to mind. This is a natural power (a reference to these angels’ use of ELF (extremely low frequency waves), and being well-understood may be used by one mind (that of an incarnate angel) to convey to another (conveying ‘thoughts’ to the human mind) no matter how far away or what be the intervening obstacle, any idea or thought” (1894 A.D.).

To the Theosophist, such demonic possession is known by the pseudoscientific designation of Overshadowing (as we learn from Annie Besant in Superhuman Men in History and in Religion circa. 1913 A.D.): “Overshadowing is the dominating of consciousness for a time by the Superhuman Helper (by the angel). The consciousness of the man is dominated, not stimulated. The idea (implanted by the angel) 103

dominates his thought, and becomes to him apparently his own (thought). Many a one (a human) is overshadowed by a Higher Being (an angel) who is not conscious of the source of the thoughts that come into his mind...these are breathed out from a higher consciousness (the angel) to a lower (a human), and they dominate the lower (human) and become its ideal. Ideals, those fixed ideas that guide and control conduct, constantly come from the overshadowing power...” (the word ‘power’ is synonymous with the word ‘angel.’ The ‘thought’ on which the person acts is conveyed to the human by the angel who serves as an avatar of sorts!). Perhaps the people in the aluminum foil hats aren’t as crazy as everyone thinks! In fact Judge flatly states: “The Theosophical Society was founded in New York in 1875, with the avowed object of forming a nucleus for a Universal Brotherhood, and its founders state that they believe the Indian Mahatmas (the so-called ‘Indian Mahatmas’ are the rebellious fallen angels with whom they were in contact) directed them to establish such a society.”- Echoes from the Orient Chapter I (William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.) Simply astounding! William Q. Judge and his associates were in contact with the rebellious fallen angels themselves; these angels had in fact “directed” Judge and his fellow co-founders “to establish” the Theosophical Society. (** “The term telepathy is derived from two Greek words, and its literal meaning is ‘feeling at a distance,’ but it is now generally used almost synonymously with thought-transference, and may be taken to cover any transfer of an image, a thought or a sensation from one person to another (usually from an incarnate angel to a human).” This is also known as: “…‘mediation,’ in which the seer (acting as a medium) supposedly has mindto-mind contact with Masters (angels) on the ‘inner planes’.” - Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism (Francis King, 1989 A.D) p.157) (“As for Tibetan mystics, they patronize a certain kind of commerce with demons that is connected with psychic training. This consists in meetings deliberately sought by the disciple, either to challenge demoniac beings or to give them alms.” - With Mystics and Magicians in Tibet by Alexandra David-Neel, 1931 A.D.)

It is through this process of thought-tranference by which: “The members of the Brotherhood, through Their agents, are constantly trying to work with the important people of the world, putting advice and suggestions into their minds” - The Inner Life (First Series) by C. W. Leadbeater (Rudolph Steiner termed this thought-transference process as being “Ahrimanic powers working…through human minds,” concluding, “a great part of mankind today is already under the control…of Ahrimanic forces…” - The Ahrimanic Deception by Rudolph Steiner, 1919 A.D.) (Frank L. Hammer provides an interesting take on this subject in Chapter VI of his book entitled Life and Its Mysteries (1945 A.D.))

In this way the alien angels influence human events, political, 104

scientific, economic and otherwise!

Helena P. Blavatsky (who was incidently the daughter of a Russian army colonel) describes the thought-transference process as she experienced it: “Every word of [esoteric] information found in my writings comes from the teachings of our Eastern Masters (read: from the rebellious fallen angels); and many a passage in these works has been written by me under their dictation. In saying this no supernatural claim is urged, for no miracle is performed by such a dictation. Space and distance do not exist for thought; and if two persons are in perfect mutual psycho-magnetic rapport, and of these two, one is a great Adept in Occult Sciences, then thought-transference and dictation of whole pages, become as easy and as comprehensible at the distance of ten thousand miles as the transference of two words across a room.” HPB, "My Books," Lucifer, May, 1891.

Per William Q. Judge: “To communicate with another mind at any distance the Adept (an angel) attunes all the molecules (think: entangled particles) of the brain and all the thoughts of the mind so as to vibrate in unison with the mind to be affected (think: the transference of information through entangled particles. See The Knowledge of Wisdom by John of the Gentiles), and that other mind and brain have also to be either voluntarily thrown into the same unison or fall into it voluntarily. So though the Adept (angel) be at Bombay and his (human) friend in New York, the distance is no obstacle, as the inner senses are not dependent on an ear, but may feel and see the thoughts and images in the mind of the other person. And when it is desired to look into the mind and catch the thoughts of another and the pictures all around him of all he has thought and looked at, the Adept’s (angel’s) inner sight (think: the AllSeeing eye) and hearing are directed to the mind to be seen, when at once all is visible.” (the angels can, as it were, read minds, as if it were a spoken word and can as it were ‘see’ everything the Overshadowed person sees (remote viewing), as well as direct the actions of that person by programming his thoughts, and all in real time! One can certainly understand the military’s interest in such technology) - The Ocean of Theosophy (William Q. Judge, 1893 A.D.) (As expressed in Chapter 4 of America’s Subversion: The Enemy Within by Sonny René Stermole, the book being a treatise on Freemasonry: “The Kundalini serpent force ending in ‘illumination’ of the brain by Lucifer, having Lucifer or Satan intensely impress thoughts upon one’s brain, is what is considered to achieve occult ‘redemption,’ ancient ‘Wisdom.’” (Author’s Note: Such men thus led by “the spirit of error” were said to be Illuminated/Illuminati) The word ‘kundalini’ is Sanskrit for ‘snake.’ In this case the serpent/snake is analogous of the electromagnetic wave, yet more specifically, and in relation to Satan’s “flaming darts” (See Ephesians 6:16) referring

105

to an electromagnetic wave of a specific wavelength/frequency (ELF waves), whereby he implants thoughts into the minds of men. This is known variously as thought-transference and Overshadowing)

It is the fallen angels of whom the President of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society A. P. Sinnett (who, as must be noted, replaced Anna Kingsford) in Chapter II of his book The Occult World (1881 A.D.) spoke when he wrote of “the adepts (the rebellious fallen angels) as they now exist, or, to use the designation more generally employed in India, of ‘the Mahatmas’ … constitute a Brotherhood, or Secret Association, which ramifies all over the East, but the principal seat of which for the present I gather to be in Tibet.”

He goes on to say: “Madame (Helena P.) Blavatsky is constantly in communication, by means of the system of psychological telegraphy (telepathy/thought-transference) that the initiates employ, with her superior ‘Brothers’ in occultism…the Brothers (the rebellious fallen angels)…have been at work with her…dictating through…her brain” her book Isis Unveiled by means of the “deific powers which the Brothers enjoy,” or, more to the truth, by the advanced technology they are able to employ. Such an enterprise is commonly known as ‘automatic writing.’ In fact, Sinnett himself in the Second Edition of The Occult World confessed to having himself received “direct revelation from the Brothers (from the rebellious fallen angels).” He identified one of the “Bothers” with whom he and Blavatsky was in contact as being the Mahatma (the rebel angel) Koot Hoomi (aka Kuthumi and Master K. H.) (compare to Ra-Hoor-Khuit (a name derived from the Egyptian god Ra) with whom Aleister Crowley was in contact to the Cthulu of H.P. Lovecraft, all entities presumably one and the same. The Egyptian god Ra represented Behemoth and by association, the rebel angel Azazel).

It is Azazel’s group of fallen angels of which the Rosicrucians speak (circa. 1617 A.D.) when they obfuscate the following: “As far as the Collegium is concerned…The brethren (read: the brotherhood) are nearer unto thee than thou thinkest…they are…Theosophi.” - The Mirror of the Wisdom of the Rosicrucians (aka Speculum Sophicum Rhodostauroticum) (Theosophi means “wise (soph) gods (theoi)” in reference to the angels)

From this group of “Theosophi” composed of Azazel and his fellow 106

rebellious fallen angels is derived the name of the Theosophical Society, which is named in their honor. This so-called “Collegium” of “Theosophi” of which the Rosicrucians speak is also the sub-earthly Ahrimanic school of Rudolph Steiner’s Anthroposophy spiritualmovement, a society with links to Annie Besant and the greater Theosophical Movement (Ahriman was a Persian god who represented the Genesis serpent Azazel: “In Persia…it was the serpent [which represented the angel Azazel], who, under the name of Ahriman, formed the basis of the system of Zoroaster; and it is the same serpent who, among the Jews and Christians, tempted Eve, the celestial virgin…” - A General History of Freemasonry p. 392 (Rebold, 1879 A.D.)). As we learn from Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol.XXIV, no. 3/4, 1994, p. 555-572. (©UNESCO: International Bureau of Education, 2000): “In 1913, (Rudolph) Steiner

(head of the German Section of the Theosophical Society) parted company with Annie Besant (and the Theosophical Society), above all because of their conceptual differences in regard to the esoteric interpretation of the life of Jesus Christ (as well, it must be noted, of the concept of the imminent coming of the World-Teacher including the adoption of J. Krishnamurti as Lord Matreya’s earthly avatar).

With the majority of his German followers (most of whom were former Theosophical Society members), he went on to found the Anthroposophical Society.” Rudolph Steiner (1861–1925 A.D.) was world-famous for his Masonic and Rosicrucian based teachings. In An Outline of Occult Science Chapter VIII (Rudolph Steiner, 1922 A.D.) he professes the existence of “beings of the world of soul and spirit who influence from hidden worlds the outer manifested world,” and that a person who is so attuned “receives influences” from these beings, that the “beings of the spiritual world convey them (these “influences”) to him.”

Apparently, mediaeval Kabalists passed along the knowledge of the existence of Azazel’s group of fallen angels being present upon our Earth to students of philosophy and of the esoteric arts as Theosophist Madame Blavatsky writes in 1888 A.D. in her book entitled The Secret Doctrine (Volume II p. 284) concerning the Great White Brotherhood of rebellious fallen angels: “The mediæval Kabalists knew this well, since one of them did not fear to write: “The Kabala was first taught by God himself to a select Company of Angels who formed a theosophic school in Paradise. After the FALL the Angels 107

most graciously communicated this heavenly doctrine to the disobedient child of Earth, to furnish the protoplasts with the means of returning to their pristine nobility and felicity” (Quoted by Christian Ginsburg from the Kabala) (Author’s Note: I have included Christian David Ginsburg’s original quote from his book The Kabbalah in a following paragraph). This shows how the event — of the Sons of God (angels), marrying and imparting the divine Secrets of Heaven to the daughters of men — allegorically told by Enoch (speaks of The Book of Enoch [IEnoch]) and in the sixth chapter of Genesis (See Genesis 6:4) was interpreted by the Christian Kabalists.” Blavatsky quoted British Hebrew and Biblical scholar Christian D. Ginsburg in his book entitled The Kabbalah (1863 A.D.): “The Kabala was first taught by God Himself to a select company of angels, who formed a theosophic school in Paradise. After the Fall the angels most graciously communicated this heavenly doctrine to the disobedient child of earth, to furnish the protoplasts with the means of returning to their pristine nobility and felicity. From Adam it passed over to Noah, and then to Abraham, the friend of God, who emigrated with it to Egypt, where the patriarch allowed a portion of this mysterious doctrine to ooze out.

It was in this way that the Egyptians obtained some knowledge of it, and the other Eastern nations could introduce it into their philosophical systems. Moses, who was learned in all the wisdom of Egypt, [as] first initiated into the Kabala in the land of his birth, but became most proficient in it during his wanderings in the wilderness, when he not only devoted to it the leisure hours of the whole forty years, but received lessons in it from one of the angels. By the aid of this mysterious science the lawgiver was enabled to solve the difficulties which arose during his management of the Israelites, in spite of the pilgrimages, wars, and frequent miseries of the nation. He covertly laid down the principles of this secret doctrine in the first four books of the Pentateuch, but withheld them from Deuteronomy…. Moses also initiated the seventy Elders into the secrets of this doctrine, and they again transmitted them from hand to hand. Of all who formed the unbroken line of tradition, David and Solomon were most deeply initiated into the Kabala. No one, however, dared to write it down till Simon Ben Jochai, who lived at the time of the destruction of the second Temple…. After his death, his son, Rabbi Eliezer, and his secretary, Rabbi Abba as well as his disciples, collated Rabbi Simon Ben Jochai's treatises, and out of these composed the celebrated work called Sohar (Zohar), i.e., Splendor which is the grand storehouse of 108

Kabalism.” (“The Zohar is the

Book of Splendor, -- the book of the ‘shining ones’ (angels)…” – The Blazing Star (William B. Green 1872 A.D.). The Zohar is the book of the angels! Notable quote by Rabbi Eliezer, son of the Rabbi Simon Ben Jochai whose treatises form the Zohar: “The Angels who fell from Heaven saw the daughters of Cain (who would have been in all actuality Azazel’s own granddaughters as Cain was the son of Azazel by Eve)…and, being seduced, took wives from among them.” - Rabbi Eliezer)

This statement is repeated nearly word for word by S. L. MacGregor Mathers in the Introduction to Mathers’ own 1912 A.D. translation (entitled Kabbala Denudata: The Kabbalah Unveiled) of an earlier work entitled The Kabbalah Denudata Vol I (Published in 1677 A.D.) Vol II (Published in 1684 A.D.) of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth (aka Baron von Rosenroth; pseudonym Peganius Rautner [this book is considered Lurianic Kabbala]), the Silesian-born German Evangelical Theosophist: “The Kabbalah was first taught by God himself to a select company of angels, who formed a theosophic school in Paradise. After the Fall the angels most graciously communicated this heavenly doctrine to the disobedient child of earth, to furnish the protoplasts with the means of returning to their pristine nobility and felicity. From Adam it passed over to Noah, and then to Abraham, the friend of God, who emigrated with it to Egypt, where the patriarch allowed a portion of this mysterious doctrine to ooze out. It was in this way that the Egyptians obtained some knowledge of it, and the other Eastern nations could introduce it into their philosophical systems.

Moses, who was learned in all the wisdom of Egypt, was first initiated into the Qabalah in the land of his birth, but became most proficient in it during his wanderings in the wilderness, when he not only devoted to it the leisure hours of the whole forty years, but received lessons in it from one of the angels. By the aid of this mysterious science the law−giver was enabled to solve the difficulties which arose during his management of the Israelites, in spite of the pilgrimages, wars, and frequent miseries of the nation. He covertly laid down the principles of this secret doctrine in the first four books of the Pentateuch, but withheld them from Deuteronomy. Moses also initiated the seventy elders into the secrets of this doctrine, and they again transmitted them from hand to hand. Of all who formed the unbroken line of tradition, David and Solomon were the most deeply initiated into the Kabbalah.

No one, however, dared to write it down, till Schimeon Ben Jochai, who lived at the time of the destruction of the second temple…After his death, his son, Rabbi Eleazar, and his secretary, Rabbi Abba, as well as his disciples, collated Rabbi Simon Ben Jochai's treatises, and 109

out of these composed the celebrated work called ZHR, Zohar, splendour, which is the grand storehouse of Kabbalism.” (Gerald B. Gardner quotes from The Kabbalah Unveiled in his book entitled The Meaning of Witchcraft (p.29) noting it is a “witch tradition” that from such Kabbalistic magic-practicing “Jews that the witches got to know of the Qabalah, and obtained many of their ideas of the Jewish mystical and magical traditions, upon which most mediaeval magic was founded.”) (“It is hoped that the esotericism of the original Chaldean Qabbãlãh (the occult basis of the Hebrew Qabbãlãh) will be recognized for what it is: one of the theosophies of antiquity, inherited by the Hebrews from the ancient Chaldeans, who received this ‘theosophy of the angels’ from the Council of the Wise.” – Forward to Theosophy in the Qabbalah [published by The Theosophical Society Pasadena, California, USA February 15, 2006]) (King James, to whom we owe thanks for his King James Version (KJV) of The Bible, surmises in Book I of his Daemonologie (1597 A.D): “Moses being brought up (as it is expressly said in the Scriptures) in all the sciences of the Egyptians…affirming Moses to be taught in all the sciences of the Egyptians, should conclude that he was taught in Magie.”) (The eminent Rosicrucian Theophilus Schweighart’s signature work The Mirror of the Wisdom of the Rosicrucians (Speculum Sophicum Rhodostauroticum) (circa 1616 A.D.) expounds teachings which were according to Schweighart originally reputedly revealed “through the mediation of the Elohim,” the Elohim of course being angels, albeit of the fallen variety, with Rosicrucianism being but a then-modern Germanic incarnation in the finest ancient Mystery school tradition. It was said the founding father of Rosicrucianism himself founded his secret society after traveling to the Middle East and there studying extensively the secrets revealed to him by those of the “Wise men”/Magi tradition. Indeed, it is revealed by the author of the Fama Fraternitatis (circa 1611 A.D.): “Our Philosophy also is not a new invention, but as Adam after his fall hath received it, and as Moses and Solomon used it…wherein Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras and others did hit the mark, and wherein Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Solomon did excel; but especially wherewith that wonderful book the Bible agreeth,” with at least one (but most probably all) of the founding members of Rosicrucianism being according to the Fama Fraternitatis “well learned in Cabala.”)

Elias Gewurz (circa 1922 A.D.) writes of Azazel and his assembly of rebel angels and how this group may in fact be contacted in his Theosophic work entitled Mysteries of the Qabalah, with Gewurz explaining “The Brotherhood of the White Lodge (also known as “the Masters of Wisdom”) is a body of great men (read: an assembly of incarnate fallen angels)” who “watch (a play on the word ‘Watchers’) over humanity from their exalted (spiritual) planes” (one of the main tenets in magic, as we learn from Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism, is there “are other planes than the physical and other intelligences than those in physical incarnation. Man is regarded as being half-way up the ladder of evolution not at its top.”). Gewurz’s book states that “the White Lodge has its representatives on earth, its messengers (again, a play on words. Angels are the ‘messengers’ of God) and teachers, and pupils (by definition, a Collegium),” and how it was possible that certain individuals may become “channels” (mediums) for The Brotherhood of the White Lodge, for a “man to 110

become a servant of the great Lords (a servent of the rebellious angels) and co-operate with them here on earth,” such individuals being made “to serve faithfully the Masters of Wisdom” and thereby becoming “messengers of the White Lodge” (See Mysteries of the Qabalah Part I: The Brotherhood of the White Lodge. This book is classified Hermetic Qabalah). As he explains, such an individual in this way “becomes a cooperator with those high intelligences whom we call Masters (these masters are angels), and, under Their guidance and with their help, he continues his career, ever upward, and ever onward, until he enters the presence of the Ancient of Ancients, the merciful Teacher of Gods, angels and men” (See Chapter 8 of Hidden Treasures of the Ancient Qabalah by Elias Gewurz (1918 A.D.)). (“Satan obliges himself to the greatest of Magicians…he will oblige himself to teach them arts and sciences, which he may easily do, being so learned a knave as he is.” - Book I Daemonologie by King James 1597 A.D) (Asserts British Jung-influenced psychotherapist, occultist and Thesophical Society/Stella Matutina/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member Dion Fortune in The Mystical Qabalah: “the first Qabalists…were angels.”)

Gewurz explains: “They (the angels) are always affiliated to those organizations on earth whose members are single-minded, and true hearted and genuinely desirous of the welfare of the race (in such a way they masquerade as ‘angels of light’). Especially are they interested in the advancement of science, philosophy and religion, and all public bodies promoting these subjects are helped (without knowing whence the help cometh) by the Brotherhood of the White Lodge (helped by Azazel’s group of angels, which conveys this knowledge to them through the broadcast of ELF waves, a process also known as Overshadowing. One may argue whether many geniuses such as Albert Einstein may have received their ideas through the process of Overshadowing/thoughttransference). For the last three decades (from the 1890’s to the 1920’s) there has been a steady and growing increase of knowledge in all departments of human activity. Inventions have multiplied, and discoveries of unsuspected laws of nature are being made on every hand. Philosophic and scientific thought has never been so abundant and so brilliant as it is today, but the receivers of the gifts know not the givers (the ‘givers’ are the rebellious angels), and often frustrate the gracious purposes which were to be served by the bestowal of the gifts.” - Mysteries of the Qabalah by Elias Gewurz (1922 A.D.) Part I: The Brotherhood of the White Lodge) {The “Collegium” of “Theosophi” is also known as “The Great 111

School of Natural Science,” ”a school which was hoary of age when the foundation of the great Pyramid was laid; a School which ante-dates all present authentic history and records” (See Modern World Movements (J.D. Buck, 1913 A.D.)). The group is also known as the “Venerable Brotherhood of India” } (“The organizations of Adepts and Masters (read: fallen angels) are usually divided into lodges, schools, degrees, hierarchies, and brotherhoods. According to most of the literature on the subject, the lodge is the place of meeting, the school indicates the work upon which they are engaged, the degree determines the rank attained or capacity exercised, the hierarchy represents the race to which they belong, and the brotherhood the relationship between all the lodges, schools, degrees, and hierarchies.” - The Path of Attainment by D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.)

A 17th Century Rosicrucian document explains how: “…they (Philosophers) have established the existence of mortal beings (speaks of the existence of angel/human hybrids) between the gods (angels) and man to whom one can ascribe all that surpasses human weakness yet falls short of divine greatness. This is the opinion held in every ancient philosophy. The Platonists and the Pythagoreans took it from the Egyptians, and the latter from Joseph the Saviour, and from the Hebrews who dwelt in Egypt before the crossing of the Red Sea. The Hebrews used to call these beings who are between the Angels and man (they called the angel/human hybrids) Sadaim, and the Greeks, transposing the letters and adding but one syllable, called them Daimonas (demons). Among the ancient Philosophers these demons were held to be an Aerial Race, ruling over the Elements, mortal, engendering, and unknown in this century to those who rarely seek Truth in her ancient dwelling place, which is to say, in the Cabala and in the theology of the Hebrews, who possessed the special art of holding communion with that Aerial People and of conversing with all these Inhabitants of the Air.” - The Comte De Gabalis by Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars Discourse III, originally published in 1670 A.D. (‘’if…a man has the natural disposition, he may by the power of his soul communicate with the divine and angelic world…” – p.12 The History of Magic Volume I by Joseph Ennemoser, 1854 A.D.)

Another product of the American Spiritualist Movement was a tract entitled ‘A Message to All Mystics: The Hindu Magic Mirror’ (1910 A.D.) by the Chicago native, Freemason, publisher and mail order supplier of magic and occult products Dr. L. W. De Laurence which delivers a purported “message” from an “unseen” “astral brotherhood of magic,” “an occult organization” with the which one may in fact “communicate directly and personally with the unseen Brotherhood.”

The unseen brotherhood is of course Azazel’s group of rebel angels.

112

They even offer an invitation for mystics to communicate with them.

The 1898 A.D. Hahn & Whitehead, Chicago edition of Three Books of Occult Philosophy or Magic by the Famous Mystic Henry Cornellius Agrippa contains an addendum entitled The Magic Mirror which includes instructions for the creation and use of such a “Magic Mirror (derived from the mirror Maja of the Magi, also known as the Eternal Mirror of Wonders; originally it was believed a genii/demon/spirit might be entrapped within such a devise), that wonderful instrument so long used by advanced mystics for communication between the two worlds.” While the Magic Mirror itself may be constructed cheaply, the steep price you pay is your soul. Of an interesting note, Sir Walter Scott, while making a “few general remarks on the nature of Demonology, and the original cause of the almost universal belief in communication betwixt mortals and beings of a power superior to themselves” in Letter X of Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft (1830 A.D.) relates how it was believed through “correspondence with the various spirits of the elements, on the principles of the Rosicrucian philosophy” a practitioner of magic might “bind to their service, and imprison in a ring, a mirror, or a stone (such as an emerald or a diamond), some fairy, sylph, or salamander (these are folkloric representations of fallen angels/spirits), and compel it to appear when called, and render answers to such questions as the viewer should propose.”

As Scott explains: “Dr. (John) Dee, an excellent mathematician (as well as an astronomer/astrologer/ceremonial magician/Spiritualist), had a stone of this kind, and is said to have been imposed upon concerning the spirits attached to it, their actions and answers, by the report of one (Edward) Kelly who acted as his viewer (medium)…His show−stone or mirror is still preserved among other curiosities in the British Museum. Some superstition of the same kind was introduced by the celebrated Count Cagliostro, during the course of the intrigue respecting the diamond necklace in which the late Marie Antoinette was so unfortunately implicated.”

In the Commentary section of Comte De Gabalis by Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars (1913 A.D.) (portions of the work were originally published in 1670 A.D.) Commentary I we find the following selection concerning Azazel and his group of rebellious fallen angels (it must be noted this book, as well as The Book of Enoch from whence this passage originated and from which I have previously quoted, played an important role in the literary progression 113

toward a proper 19th - 20th Century Theosophical Movement): “BOOK OF ENOCH: “Enoch the great grandfather of Noah, who had that surname (Edris) from his great knowledge, for he was favoured with no less than thirty books of divine revelations, and was the first who wrote with a pen, and studied the sciences of astronomy and arithmetic.” This quotation is an approved Muhammedan commentary upon the following references to Enoch in the Koran. “And remember Edris in the same book; for he was a just person and a prophet, and we exalted him to a high place.” SURA 19, MARY. “The History which follows is taken from Dr. Grabe's Spicilegium Patrum (Oxford, 1698 A.D.), and supposed by him to be the Genuine Work of Enoch the Patriarch, whose Name it bears. Many of the first Fathers of the Church were of this Opinion, who often produce Citations out of it, and allow it to be of the best Authority. Tertullian, speaking of the Habit of Women, uses this Expression. The same Angels who introduc’d Gold and Silver, and the mixture of Colours, which advance the Lustre of Female Beauty, are now condemn’d by God, as Enoch informs us. Clemens Alexandrinus discoursing upon the disobedient Angels (Indeed, The Clementine Homilies Homily VIII Chapter XV speaks of the angel/human hybrid “giants…sprung from angels…born of women…”), agrees to the Testimony of Enoch, and says, That the Rebellious Spirits (read: the rebellious angels) were the Inventors of Astronomy and Divination, as Enoch delivers the Account. And St. Jude (who cites a Prophecy out of the Writings of Enoch in the fourteenth and fifteenth Verses of his Epistle) may be supposed to have recourse to this Fragment before us, when he records in the Sixth Verse (See Jude 6), That the Angels who kept not their first Estate, but left their own Habitation, are reserv’d in Everlasting Chains under Darkness, unto the Judgment of the Great Day.” THE HISTORY OF THE WATCHMEN, (Or the Angels). WRITTEN BY ENOCH THE PATRIARCH: And it came to pass, when the Sons of Men were increas’d, that very Beautiful Daughters were born to them: With these the Watchmen (the Watchers/angels) were in Love, and burnt with Desire toward them, which drew them into many Sins and Follies.

They communed with themselves: “Let us, say they, choose us Wives out of the Daughters of Men upon the Earth.” Semiazas, their Prince, made Answer: “I fear, says he, you will not execute your Resolution; and so I shall derive upon myself alone the Guilt of this Impiety.”

They all reply’d, and said;; “We will bind ourselves with an Oath to 114

perform our Purpose, and invoke dreadful Imprecations upon our Heads, if we depart from our Enterprize before it be accomplished.”

So they oblig’d themselves with an Oath;; and implored an Arrest of Vengeance upon one another (oaths of the sort the Freemasons traditionally employ). They (the angels) were two Hundred, who in the Days of Jared came down upon the Top of Mount Hermon. The Mountain receiv’d that Name from the Oath by which they bound themselves, and the Imprecations they wilfully submitted themselves under. The Names of their Princes were these: 1. Semiazas, the Chief of them. 2. Atarcuph. 3. Araciel. 4. Chobabiel. 5. Horammame. 6.

Ramiel.7. Sampsich. 8. Zaciel. 9. Balciel. 10. Azazel. 11. Pharmarus.

12. Amariel. 13. Anagemas. 14. Thausael. 15. Samiel. 16. Sarinas. 17.

Eumiel. 18. Tyriel. 19. Jumiel. 20. Sariel. These (angels), and all the rest of them, took to themselves Wives… and were inflam’d with Lust toward them till the Flood. The Offspring of these Women were of three sorts: The first race were Giants, or Tall Men: They begat the Naphelims, and from them came the Eliudæans; and their Number increased, according to the Proportion of their Bodies. They instructed their Wives and Children in Sorcery and Enchantments. Azazel, the Tenth in the Order of the Princes, was the first inventor of Swords and Breastplates, and all Military Appointments: He taught his Posterity the Art of extracting (mining) Metals out of the Earth, and the Curiosity of working in Gold and Silver (metalworking), to make Ornaments and Female Decorations: He directed and shew’d them to polish, and give a Lustre to choice Stones, and to Colours: The Sons of Men soon furnish’d themselves and their Daughters with these Vanities; and breaking through the Commands of God, they drove the Pious and Just into Miscarriages (related to this is the Cimaruta [in Latin meaning ‘sprig of rue,’ rue being a plant sacred to the goddess Diana, the queen of Italian witches], a type of magic charm used in Italy to protect from the evil eye [it also served as a sign of membership in the witch-cult]. Per Wikipedia: “…the refined oil of rue was cited by the Roman historian Pliny the Elder and the gynecologist Soranus as a potent abortifacient (inducing abortion). Rue contains pilocarpine which is used in horses to induce abortion.” ** This knowledge originated with these fallen angels; abortions were considered to be a form of human sacrifice );

insomuch that a monstrous Appearance of Impiety stalk’d over the Face of the whole Earth. Semiazas, their Prince, discover'd the Art of Hatred, to reserve Envy in the Mind, and to infuse Misfortunes upon others by the Roots of Herbs. Pharmarus, the Eleventh Prince, found out Witchcraft, Charms, and Enchantments. The Ninth revealed the Course of the Stars (astronomy). The Fourth the Science of Astrology.

115

The Eighth the Inspection of the Air. The Third of the Earth. The Seventh of the Sun. The Twentieth explain’d the Signs of the Moon.

All of them (all of the angels) display’d (revealed) these Secrets of Knowledge to their Wives and Sons. The Giants soon after began to feed upon Human Flesh, which made the number of Men to decrease, and sensibly to decay. Those who were left being harass’d with so many Instances of Wickedness, (they) raised their Voice to Heaven, and implor’d, That their Memory might be preserv’d in the Sight of God. The Four Great Archangels, Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel, being affected with their Cries, look’d down upon Earth from the Holiness of Heaven; and beholding a general Effusion of Blood, and a Spirit of Universal Impiety, had this Communication among themselves: “The Spirits and Souls of Men implore our Aid, in Agonies of Sorrow; Introduce (they cry) our Prayers to the Highest.”

Then the Four Archangels calling upon God, deliver'd themselves thus: “Thou art God of Gods and Lord of Lords, King of Kings, and God of Men: The Throne of thy Glory endures to all Ages, and thy Name is Holy and Blessed for evermore; for Thou art the Creator of all things; Thy Power is over all things; all things are open and manifest before Thee, nor can anything be conceal’d from Thee. Thou seest the Actions of Azazel; the Misfortunes he has occasioned; the Wickedness and abominable Practices he has taught upon the Earth; how he has corrupted it with Fraud and Villainy. He has divulg’d the great Arcana of Heaven; and the Sons of Men are led, by his Example, to inspeél the Celestial Mysteries: Semiazas Thou hast ordained to be the Prince of those who are about him; but they have all turned themselves to the Daughters of the Men of the Earth, and polluting themselves with Women have discovered to them all the Methods of Impiety, and instructed them to perpetrate all degrees of Abomination: And now, behold, the Daughters of Men have born a Gigantic Offspring to them; a foul Blemish of Corruption has infected the whole Earth, and the World is full of Injustice. Lo, the Spirits of the Souls of Men who have been dead, attend thee: Their Groans have arriv’d as far as the Gates of Heaven, and they cannot depart, by reason of the exceeding Impiety that is committed upon the Earth: Yet Thou knewest these things before they were effected: Dost Thou see them, and say nothing? What must be done upon this Occasion?” The Highest made answer, and the Holy Great One reply’d;; and sent Uriel to the Son of Lamech, saying: "Go to Noe (Noah), and acquaint him in My Name, Hide thyself: And inform him, that the End approaches, for the whole Earth shall perish.

116

And tell him, a Deluge shall overspread the whole Earth, and all Things shall be destroy'd upon the Face of it. Instruct the Just Son of Lamech what he shall do, and he shall preserve his Soul unto Life; and he shall be safe in his Generation: From him shall a new Race be deriv'd and established, and shall continue to all Ages.” THE HISTORY OF THE ANGELS, AND THEIR GALLANTRY WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN.

ENOCH'S PROPHECY OF WORLD PEACE, COMMENTARY CONCLUDED.” - From: The Commentary section of Comte De Gabalis by Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars [1913] The Book. (“Many readers will recall Sir Edward (Bulwer)Lytton's citation of Comte de Gabalis (though dated 1715, portions of which was originally published in 1670 A.D. The Book of Enoch itself dates back to the 3rd-1st Centuries B.C.) in his strange novel Zanoni (published 1842 A.D.), certain portions of which were based upon this source. And others will remember the high esteem in which the wit and wisdom of the Abbé de Villars' masterpiece (Comte de Gabalis) were held by litterateurs, as well as occultists, in the early years of the 18th century. Alexander Pope, in his dedication to the Rape of the Lock, the first draft of which was written in 1711, says "The Rosicrucians are a people I must bring you acquainted with. The best account I know of them is in a French book call’d Le Comte de Gabalis…Alexander Pope's poem bears the same relation to its inspiration Comte de Gabalis, that a dancing mote does to the sunbeam whose brilliance it reflects.” - Comte De Gabalis by Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars (1913 A.D.)

The following is from an interview with Alexandrian Wicca high-priest Alex Sanders concerning and I quote “witchhealing”: “Q: Are witch medicines ever used?

A: Yes, for abortions on rare occasions and for simple ailments.

Q: In what circumstances would an abortion be carried out?

A: If a witch were unmarried, or married but in poor health, or unable to cope with another child, she would be eligible. In some cases the girl friend of a witch-even if she were an unbeliever-might be helped.

Q: How is the abortion performed?

A: By a herbal medicine. It is available without prescription but only two other witches, to my knowledge, have the formula. It must be used before the third month of pregnancy.” – p.122 King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders by June Johns, 1969 A.D.)

Theosophists teach that in times past “an important event happened - the most important up to this time upon our planet. This event was the coming of what the ancient scriptures call the "Shining Ones," the "Sons of God". These Beings have been called by many names…They have sometimes been referred to as the "fallen angels"…The coming (descent) of these divine sons, and their sojourn in the lower regions ("Hades" of the Greeks, "Amenti" of the Egyptians) has been the subject of myth and legend of all peoples 117

since the beginning of time. This is a theme which has been immortalised by sage and poet.” - The Theosophical Seal (Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.)

Theosophy teaches of Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels who are imprisoned within the Earth!

Azazel is an adept at animal husbandry, being often referred to as a shepherd (as the shepherd gods Dumuzi and Tammuz; as Osiris who is oft depicted with the shepherd’s crook and flail; as the shepherd god Pan; or as a swineherd (as Euboulos). Many representations of the angel Azazel in other religious systems depict Azazel in this way as a shepherd. It must be noted the Egyptian god Thoth was one of such a myriad of representations of the angel Azazel. One of the names of the god Thoth (who represented the angel Azazel) was ‘Sheps,’ this title being a cognate of the word ‘shepherd,’ and most notably, of the Hebrew word ‘Sheol,’ the name of the place where the angel Azazel and his rebellious angels are imprisoned underground within the earth). In this very same capacity Azazel was depicted as the Celtic/Druidic god of herders named Saman, a god also known as Samhain (Saman is also the name of a Buddhist Deva (god). The word ‘Deva’ is a cognate of the word ‘devil.’ The Buddhist Deva (devil) Saman represents the angel Azazel (from the word ‘Saman’ comes the word ‘shaman.’ By definition, shamanism comprises a range of beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the spirit world (read: communication with the fallen angels. Compare to the Hindu ‘samaneen’). Indeed, Albert Pike in Morals and Dogma says: “The Druidical ceremonies undoubtedly came from India; and the Druids were originally Buddhists.”). (Likely the word ‘druid’ is derived from the place name of Azazel’s entrapment, namely, Duidain. At any rate, the Gaelic word ‘Druidh’ is said to mean “wise man/magician.”)

The root word ‘sam’ means poison/venom and as such is associated with the serpent, while ‘an’ means ‘heaven.’ The ‘i’ is the Sumerian designation for ‘lord’ (in the Sumerian work entitled Ninurta's Exploits: A šir-sud to Ninurta (ETCSL translation: t.1.6.2) Azazel is the “Lord Saman-ana” mentioned therein). This serpent lord from heaven is the Genesis serpent Azazel (known to ancients as the gods Baal and Adonis, both epitaphs meaning ‘lord’) who was the leader of the assembly of the jinn, also known as the ‘mani.’ As an 118

added note, the word ‘azi,’ the root of the name Azazel, is the Iranian Avestan word for ‘serpent.’ Indeed, the Samhain festival is named in Azazel’s honor, bearing his Druidic nome de guerre. The festival of Samhain was also known as the ‘Vigil of Samana’ [compare to ‘Saman-ana’]. A ‘vigil’ is defined as ‘the eve of a festival.’ We know this vigil in its Christianized form as Halloween, which is the shortened form of All-Hallows Eve, which is celebrated on the eve of the festival known as All-Hollows Day. The festival which marks the night on which the deaths of the human/angel hybrids occurred in an Armageddon-like confrontation was Christianized as All-Hallows Eve (October 31), from whence comes the name Halloween (from Hallowe’en, the shortened form of All-hallow-even, the eve of All-hallows Day), while the following day which hallowed the celebration of the day on which the angels were imprisoned within the earth was Christianized by the Roman Catholic Church under the name of All-Hallows Day, also known as Hallowmas (November 1), which was the Old English name for our modern All Saint’s Day (November 1). In fact, the story of these angels’ imprisonment within the earth is the basis for the Roman Catholic Church’s concept of Purgatory. All Soul’s Day is a festival held on November 2 on the day following All Saint’s Day when prayers are offered up in order to hasten the deliverance of those souls being held in ‘purgatory.’ Since those held in ‘purgatory’ are these earthly imprisoned rebellious fallen angels, such prayers consequently offered up are an effort to hasten their release. This observance represented the Christianization of a Pagan practice. (Important Note: The Balfour Declaration, an agreement which provided for “the establishment in Palestine of a Home for the Jewish people” and in such a way leading to the creation of the modern state of Israel, was issued on All Soul’s Day on November 2, 1917 A.D.)

Beltane is celebrated on May 1, (May Day). According to the Hutchison Educational Encyclopedia (Helicon Publishing Ltd, 2000), Beltane is May-Day, an Old Scottish quarter day. As such, All-Saint’s Day was in fact moved from this date to November 1. At a period of time when the day was reckoned from sunset to sunset, the two day hallowed-day of All-hallow-even and All-hallows Day was originally a one day event. Liturgically, this day was celebrated at the Vigil of All Saint’s (this day was the Christianized version of the Vigil of Samana, also known as Samhain), hence the name, All Saint’s Day. All Saint’s Day was also the Roman Catholic Church’s Christianized 119

substitute for the pagan Roman festival called the Feast of Lemures (alternatively the Lemuralia or Lemuria), celebrated on May 13 on the Julian Calendar (April 30, May Eve, also known as Walpurgis Night, is its Gregorian Calendar equivalent), so named for the dead spirits of the hybrid children of the angels, the deaths of whom this holy-day commemorates.

In Ireland today, Oidhche/Oiche Bealtaine is May Eve, and La Bealtaine is May Day. The Welsh equivalent of Beltane is Calan Mai/Calan Haf, celebrated on May 1. The celebrations begin the evening before and this is known as May Eve. May Eve as a pagan holy-day was Christianized as (St.) Walpurgis Night being celebrated as it was on April 30 on the eve of the 1st of May at a time when days were reckoned as beginning at sundown. In German folklore, this day (Walpurgisnacht) was a witches’ feast night/sabbat as May Day was originally a pre-Christian holy-day reserved for the performance of magical rites (‘sabbat,’ from the word ‘sabt.’ Sabt is the Egyptian name for the star Sirius with which Azazel is associated). Beltane is also a May 1st festival celebrated by those magical New Agers, the Wiccans.

In America and Canada, the secular holiday of Labor Day is derived from May Day (it was ‘officially’ secularized [this being akin to the process of the Christianization of pagan holy days] as a celebration of workers when it was first adopted at the 1889 A.D. International Socialist Congress in Paris where the date was fixed as being the 1st of May and became a legal holiday [a word derived from the term ‘holy day’] in honor of workers. The Communist celebration of May Day has this as its origin, where a seemingly irreligious group esoterically celebrates a wholly religious concept [for instance, one famous socialist/communist symbol is the anvil and hammer, a symbol/device of the metalworking god Vulcan, who is Azazel]. In Hinduism, Ribhus was the name of the leader of a small group said to dwell in a solar sphere. The solar sphere in which they dwell, or more specifically, within which the small group is entrapped, is representative of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. The name Ribhus is from ‘rbhu-,’ a word cognate with the Latin word ‘labor’ and the English word ‘elf.’ Elves are folkloric representations of the rebellious fallen angels (the word ‘el’ in the word ‘elf/elves’ is a root of the word ‘angel’) The true esoteric meaning of Labor Day as a holiday pertains to the veneration of the rebellious fallen angel Azazel 120

under the Hindu name of Ribhus. Labor Day is Ribhus Day, which is to say, Azazel Day! In America the observation of Labor Day was moved to the 1st Monday of September, though many countries still celebrate Labor Day on May Day (May 1). Of an interesting note, the first permanent settlement in North America was at Jamestown in Virginia, officially settled on May 14, 1607 A.D. on the Gregorian Calendar. The Julian Calendar date of May 14th corresponds to the Gregorian Calendar date of May 1, May Day. The Roman Festival of the Bona Dea was also held on May 1 in honor of the virginal goddess Bona Dea, whose name means “the good goddess.” Bona Dea represents Azazel’s human wife. May Day (May 1) games have their origin in the religious celebration associated with the Roman Secular Games. In fact, the May Queen/Queen of the May (the word ‘May’ is derived from ‘Maia,’ the name of a Greek fertility goddess who likewise represented Azazel’s human wife, also known as Queen Maia) was a virgin young girl(s) who was/were chosen to act as queen(s) of the May Day games in honor of Azazel’s human wife who was alternately known as the Queen of Heaven (some Roman Catholic Church’s conduct a May Crowning of Mary ceremony on May 1, such as that held at St. Gerald’s in Oak Lawn, IL at the parish’s grotto shrine of Mary, the Queen of Heaven, in honor of the Roman Catholic Church’s Christianized version of the angel Azazel’s human wife. This was a common practice throughout the Roman Catholic world prior to the reforms of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican (also known as Vatican II) held between 19621965 A.D.). In medieval times these virgin Queens of the May were often impregnated during magic pagan sexual fertility rites (Hiero Gamos Rituals) which ceremoniously commemorated the sexual union of Azazel and his human wife.

The tradition of dancing around a May-pole is a scene often depicted in early American art as May Day was a popular holy-day in Colonial America. The Puritans who came to North America at Jamestown, Virginia, were Calvinists who had opposed the power of the Roman Catholic Church in England and who had supported Oliver Cromwell’s overthrow of the English monarchy. After the subsequent reinstatement of the monarchy in England, many Puritans fled to North America to avoid persecution (the parents of Benjamin Franklin was amongst this group who fled to our American shores). With these European colonists and settlers came various pagan religious traditions 121

to America. Magic traditions and Christian practices often went side by side, with some individuals thereby masking their wholly pagan inclinations through a veil of Christianity (colonial Christianity often consisted of a pagan-Christian amalgamation as well) and through the employment of other sorts of secularized lore to avoid wholesale persecutions, often involving a brutal death by the overzealous Inquisitions of the Roman Catholic Church. This fact notwithstanding, witchcraft was not an uncommon practice in early colonial America, and many individuals suffered during the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692-1693 A.D. (witch trials were not exclusive to Massachusetts, they being also held in other colonies as well as in England and all across Europe. Estimates of the number of lives surrendered to the Inquisition runs from the hundreds of thousands to the millions). The illustrious Puritan Cotton Mather (1663-1728 A.D.) wrote several literary works concerning witchcraft in the colonies, even condoning its use in certain circumstances, while vessels known as ‘Witchbottles’ can be found on both sides of the Atlantic in the colonies as well as on the European continent which spawned their usage. Witch bottles were folkloric cures meant to counter the malevolent effects of the spells of black-magic practicing witches, often employed by cunning men and women. Early colonial Dutch Pennsylvanian hex signs also share a magical origin, being employed as protective magic charms, and some locales in early America were indubitably influenced by both the Christian and German mystical/theosophical movements. Many such adherents had fled persecution in Europe only to alight upon our American shores. Such groups include the Quakers.

In fact: “The earliest settlers of America—Spanish, English, Dutch, Swedes, French, German, etc., all had a “working knowledge,” generally speaking, of religious backgrounds, especially respecting good and bad—angels and witches. Most of the books brought to America by either of the above races were of a religious nature, having, of course, general rules for religious behavior, if not of a moral and civil behavior, as well.” - The Realness of Witchcraft in America (A. Monroe Aurand, Jr., 1942 A.D.)). Those in America who adhered to practices of magic and witchcraft flocked to and rallied around the banner of Freemasonry.

The word ‘Druid’ by one definition means ‘knowing the oak tree.’ What is the esoteric significance of the oak tree? As Giordano 122

Bruno in The Heroic Enthusiasts so eloquently states: “the roots of the oak twist and weave themselves into the veins of the earth,” and it is in the very veins of the earth where, as we learn, Azazel is entrapped.

Indeed, the Druids carried out human sacrifices during religious rites in sacred groves. Their victims (called hostias) were often burned alive in wooden wickerwork cages in the shape of humans or in the shape of enormous human heads. The Beltane Festival held on May 1st featured the burning of such a huge wicker effigy of a man.

Related to this practice is the Burning Man Fest, an annual occult ritual performed in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. The Burning Man Fest is held from August 25-September 1. September 1st is, as you recall, Labor Day, which is to say, Ribhus Day, Ribhus being the Hindu name for Azazel. This is precisely four months after May 1st on our current calendar, adjusted to coincide with May 1st in the ancient calendar tradition. Also related to Beltane traditions is the burning of a marionette effigy of Zozobra, also called Old Man Gloom (as Azazel is said to abide in the ‘nether gloom,’ being also known as Father Time (Cronos), who is oft depicted as an old man), during the Fiestas de Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico during the month of September.

The Fiestas de Santa Fe dates back to the year 1712 A.D., while the tradition of the burning of Zozobra dates from 1924 A.D. The burning of Zozobra commences a three day celebration which includes a mass at St. Francis Cathedral. Another related festival was the worship of the Hittite horned lion-god Sandan (compare to the Sand Man, the mystical figure said to magically put one to sleep; the cherubim of the angels are capable of putting people into a deep catatonic sleep), a god who represented the angel Azazel, the image of which was placed inside a pyre which was subsequently set afire. These festivals and others like it were all related to an Egyptian annual magical rite called the “Banishing of Apep” (in systems of magic, banishing rituals go hand in hand with the invocation of spirits/angels/demons). In regards to the serpent characterization of the angel Azazel, he is represented in the Egyptian stories of Apep (in Greek, Apophis), who was the great serpent believed to be imprisoned and still living entrapped within the underworld. During an annual Egyptian black magic ceremony called the “Banishing of Apep,” Egyptian priests built an effigy of the serpent Apep and burned it in order to protect the populace from his influences. The Bohemian Grove Cremation of Care (called ‘Dull Care’) ceremony also has its roots in this practice (the term “dull care” can be found in The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (c. 1123 A.D.), a 123

mystical poem by a master of comparative religions and of the esoteric teachings found therein. Stanza 299 relates: “Cast off dull care, O melancholy brother!” while Stanza 198 speaks of “care’s serpent eye” (and also “Rich men, who take to drink, the world defy,” they being as it were, above the law, one definition of the word ‘Bohemian’ (compare to Felix Pyat’s 1834 A.D. description of Bohemians as being “outside the law, beyond the reaches of society.” Felix Pyat was a high-degree Freemason who receives special mention on p. 262 of Occult Theocracy as being a co-conspirator in an international intrigue). Serpents are a common motif representing the angel Azazel and are also a common symbol of a cherub. It must be noted at this point that a serpent is employed as the Bohemian Club logo). Hence the Cremation of Care ceremony is akin to magic ceremonies which ritually burn the angel Azazel in effigy, the object being to banish him after previously invoking him. Apophis (Apep) is also known as Apophrassz, the “Stooping Dragon,” a dragon being a common symbol for a cherub, the word ‘dragon’ often being used interchangeably with the word ‘serpent’ in The Bible. The word ‘Apophis’ is etymologically related to the word ‘Apis’ and also to the word ‘Apollo.’ The gods Apollo and Apis were gods who represented Azazel/Behemoth. The word ‘Apis’ is simply the word ‘Apophis’ with the word ‘oph’ removed. The word ‘oph’ means ‘serpent.’

Serpents are a common symbol for a cherub (the god known as Apollo, representative of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, is also called Pythius after the serpent Pytho (See The Magus Chapter VII: Of the Order of Evil Spirits, and their Fall, and Different Natures)). The word ‘Python,’ the name for a genus of snakes, is a cognate of the word ‘Typhon’ (these words vary simply through the transposition of the letters ‘t’ and ‘p.’ By definition these words are anagrams of each other. As also must be noted, by one definition, a python is a demon).

The Greek god Typhon represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. When Typhon was defeated by Zeus (Zeus being the name under which the Greeks paid homage to God), Typhon (Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth) was said to have been entrapped beneath the earth, being cast by Zeus (God) into Tartarus (the underworld, within the earth). (One must also note the similarity between the words ‘Python’ and Ptah, yet another Egyptian title of the angel Azazel, he of many names (to quote The Book of the Dead, his: “names are manifold and innumerable”).

Compare Typhon/Python/Ptah to Phaeton another name for Apollo, a god representing Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, which in Greek means 124

“shining”). As we learn from S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the SpiritHistory of Man, p.54, 55, the Greek god Apollo was also called Python.

Also, the word ‘usumgal,’ which translates as ‘python,’ was a title of Tammuz (See Tammuz and Ishtar (S. Langdon, 1914 A.D.) p.161) who likewise represented Azazel.

The Egyptian word ‘Serapis’ comes from ‘Soros-Apis,’ or ‘Sor-Apis,’ meaning ‘tomb of the bull (ox)’ (compare to the name of the Sabine god Soranus, a god who likewise represented Azazel).

Apis (in Egyptian meaning ‘ox’), it is said, represented the Egyptian god Osiris (a name by which the Egyptians worshipped Behemoth/Azazel) in the form of a sacred bull (a male ox), the bull being a common symbol for an angel (at the giving of the Ten Commandments, the golden bull calf (the calf signifying the Egyptian Horus the Child/Harpocrates/Apis the young bull calf and the Hebrew god Moloch, all of whom represented different characteristics of the angel Azazel) which the Hebrews worshipped after their Exodus from Egypt (See Exodus 32:2-8) was such an idolized representation of Azazel). Serapis was also known as Osiris Apis. From the Egyptian word ‘Serapis’ comes the Hebrew word for ‘Seraph,’ which is a type of cherub. The word ‘Osiris’ translates as “many eyed,” a term descriptive of Azazel’s cherub (in Ezekiel 10:12, Ezekiel describes the cherubim as being covered with many apertures called “eyes”).

Serapis then, being the tomb of the bull Osiris, is a term referring to Azazel’s entombment within his cherub Behemoth, which is to say, within his seraph, within the dark recesses of the earth. Indeed, as related by Plutarch in On Osiris and Isis, priests performed ceremonies in which the god Apis is ritually buried, thereby commemorating the entombment of Azazel (represented by Apis), within the earth, within his cherubic tomb. These ritual burial places were located in underground temples dedicated to the god Serapis, called a Serapeum.

The god Serapis is at times depicted as being crowned with a modius, which is an Egyptian corn measure. The modius holds 16 sextarii in allusion to Azazel’s release in 2016 A.D. It must be noted that Azazel is also known as a corn god, who is often represented by an ear of corn.

The Great Magical Papyrus of Paris speaks of “Osiris, king of the underworld” calling him “King Osiris Onnophris,” a title containing the root word ‘oph,’ alluding to the god’s connection to the Genesis serpent Azazel. The word ‘oph’ means ‘serpent.’ Such a connection was made because serpents inhabit subterranean abodes.

125

In a like way H.P. Lovecraft’s magic book known as the Simon Necronomicon refers to Azazel as a “Worm” also in allusion to the fact that he dwells, like the lowly earthworm, within the earth (compare to The Book of Jamaspi 2.3 which compares Ahriman (who is Azazel) to a “worm.” Azazel is also represented as the Masonic Worm Samis (alias ‘insect Shermah,’ Shermah being a cognate of Hermes, who also is Azazel), who led the “builders (Masons) of the temple” (read: Temple Masons) into error (See The Right Angle by Geoffrey Farthing)). The Anglo-Saxon ‘worm’ is synonymous with the Chinese word for ‘dragon.’ Based on sheer numbers, Britain’s dragon legends are rivaled only by those of the Chinese (most AngloSaxon dragon legends are based on the story of Azazel. The typical British dragon legend involves a dragon emerging from a pit/well after first having descended from the sky. One of the most famous British dragons is the Lambton Worm of Durham).

Demeter is one such name under which the Greeks worshipped the earthly human wife of the angel Azazel. In the Orphic hymn, To Eleusinian Demeter, Demeter is said to “dwell in the sacred valley of Eleusis…beneath the earth.” The “valley of Eleusis” esoterically represents that valley carved out by the comet which struck the earth therein entrapping Azazel, his human wife, and the angels along with him, in his cherub beneath the earth. The pagan magic rites of the Eleusinians during the Eleusinian mysteries were often performed in subterranean chambers, as were the Mithraic mysteries and oft times the Druidic mysteries (this was true of nearly all mystery school initiations), in commemoration of Azazel’s and his human wife’s subterranean imprisonment. Caves, which are subterranean chambers, and their cousins, the grottos, are in the mystery religions one and the same. The Roman Catholic Church’s use of grottos is related to this long held pagan belief. By definition, the grotto is a small cave or a man-made imitation of a cave. The word ‘grotto’ is derived from the Italian word ‘grotta,’ meaning ‘crypt,’ which, and also by definition refers to a subterranean chamber. The common practice of the placement of statues (idols) of the Queen of Heaven/Virgin Mary in grottos is the Christianized version of pagan teachings (such as that incorporated in the Descent of Ishtar) concerning the fact that Azazel’s human wife, whom the Roman Catholic Church’s concept of the Virgin Mary represents, in Christianized form, is entombed (along with Azazel) underground within the earth (as an added note, the 126

Sumerian word ‘kur,’ used to denote a cherub (as in Enlil (Azazel) in the E-kur;; ‘E-kur’ is a cognate of ‘cherub’) by definition describes an aperture of a window, the eye, or a cave!). (“May their names remain fixed, and not destroyed for ever before Osiris (Behemoth), Horus (Azazel), Isis (Azazel’s human swife), Nephthys (the Tree of Life/artificial womb/fusion chamber within Behemoth)--those gods and goddesses who are herein mentioned; and before the gods and goddesses in their entirety (note the plural) who are in the underworld, and in the chambers (read: who are in the cherubim.

The word chamber is a cognate of the word cherubim) and great shrines existing in the underworld.” - Hymn to Osiris-Sokar)

When in Genesis 3:14 God said of the serpent, which symbolically represents the angel Azazel: “dust you shall eat.” This was a reference to God’s sentencing Azazel to interment within the earth. Serpents make their homes within the earth, hence the analogy.

It is also in this tradition that we find the esoteric teachings of the story of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth from the legends of Buddhism circa the 5th Century B.C. in India when we learn of the serpent king Mucalinda (who represents the angel Azazel) whose palace (which represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth within which he is entrapped) was located beneath the earth.

In regards to the serpent characterization of the angel Azazel, he is represented in the Egyptian stories of Apep/Apophis, the great serpent believed to be imprisoned and still living within the underworld.

‘Nag’ in Sanskrit means ‘serpent/snake,’ and Naga is the Sanskrit name for a snake or dragon (often depicted as a cobra).

Dragons and serpents are common Biblical terms for the cherubim of the angels, and most specifically the cherubim of Azazel and Satan. In Hindu-Buddhist beliefs, naga are celestial dragons often able to take human form. This is based on the story of the incarnation of the celestial serpent Azazel and of the angels who accompanied him who also came to this Earth in human form. In European folklore dragons are said to inhabit underground lairs.

Contrary to popular belief, angels are capable of sin. Nobody is perfect, not even the angels of heaven: “Even in his servants (the angels) he (God) puts no trust, and his angels he (God) charges with error…” - Job 4:18 “Behold, God puts no trust in his holy ones (his angels), and the heavens are not clean (without sin) in his sight…” - Job 15:15 127

The angels, their offspring and the human women who sired them were deified by the human population of the Earth, by which they are represented in a multicultural pantheon of gods, goddesses and so-called “mythical” figures, and these stories come down to us in the form of ancient “mythologies” (one modern example being Bulfinch’s Mythology by the American Thomas Bulfinch (1796-1867 A.D.) composed of three volumes including The Age of Fable, (Stories of Gods (angels) and Heroes (angel/human hybrids)) published in 1855 A.D.; The Age of Chivalry, (Legends of King Arthur), published in 1858 A.D.; and Legends of Charlemagne (Romance of the Middle Ages), published in 1863 A.D. The original three volumes were later combined into a single volume entitled Bulfinch’s Mythology). Many of the more well known “mythologies” are taught in educational curriculums throughout the United States including those as set forth in Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes (Edith Hamilton, 1942 A.D.), frequently used in high schools and colleges as an introductory text on ancient mythology. Such “myths” were taught to me in the public school system in Chicago, IL, in English class. I learned of them again later on in a state-run college Humanities course (in this way Humanists dodge the Constitutional mandated division of church and state). Amidst these supposed “myths” are contained the true stories of the exploits of the angels (including their cherubim), their wives and their offspring. Many religions throughout the history of the world, be they Semitic, Assyrian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Ethiopian, Arabic, etc., have similar archetypes, that is, similar religious symbols and motifs which are shared by the many systems. This is because they speak of the same characters and occurrences, being differing versions of the very same story, much in the way the game Telephone is played, where as time wore on the versions changed in compliance with local societal norms and individual interpretations and assertions. The variety of names by which one individual can be known is attributed to differences in cultures, languages, attributes and titles.

The 200 angels who appeared in the time of Jared who were imprisoned within the earth are the “gods whose dominion is…in depths of earth and gloom” as mentioned in the Roman poet (70-19 B.C.) Virgil’s Aeneid. These angels are the Titans of Tartarus, the Sons of Earth (in reference to their being angels incarnate) “cast down” from heaven to the Earth and “writhing in the lowest depth” 128

thereof. In the Greek Orphic Hymn, “To the Titans,” it is said these Titans “dwell down below in Tartarean homes…in the earth’s bowels.” This is in reference to the angels’ imprisonment within the earth, where they are to this day imprisoned within their “homes,” which is to say, within their cherubim. The Greek poet Hesiod (8th Century B.C.) likewise tells us the Titans were “bound in bitter chains beneath the wide-wayed earth.” The Greek word for the deities who dwelled beneath the earth was ‘hypochthonioi.’ The Sumerians called these imprisoned angels the Anunnaki amongst which group is the Anunna, the fifty ‘great gods’ of the Sumerians, who likely represent the crew commanders of the cherubim, each cherub housing a crew of four, including their commander (50 X 4 = 200) (as exemplified in Revelations 9:13-15, a scripture which describes the release of Azazel’s cherub. There are four angels in Azazel’s cherub which is representative of a typical cherub crew). In The Koran these angels are known as the jinn, from whence comes our word ‘genie.’ They are the Hindu goblems (compare to the word ‘golem’) and are akin to the Germanic elves (which we learn about at Christmastime in the folkloric form of Santa’s (read: Satan’s) elves). They are the Norse “Dark-elves” mentioned in the 13th Century Prose Edda Gylfanning said to “dwell down in the earth.” The Irish knew them as Aos Si/Aes Sidhe, elf-like beings who live underground. The Nordic word for elf, ‘Alfar,’ contains the root word ‘ar,’ meaning Watcher/angel (interesting enough, ALF is used to abbreviate Alien Life Form). The fallen angels are also known as the Nordic Vanir (the root ‘ir’ also means Watcher/angel. I would have to say ‘r’ denotes an angel.

When considering the word Druid, I would translate it as angel of Duid(ain). Hence a Druid priest is a priest of the angels in Duidain.

Druids are practitioners of magic. According to St. Augustine: “There are even Demons, which are called Duses by the Gauls” - Passport to Magonia: On UFOs, Folklore and Parallel Worlds (Jacques Vallee, 1969 A.D.)). They are sometimes referred to as the sluagh sidhe, the “fairy host” (note the etymological similarities between the word ‘sluagh’ and the name of the god Lugh, a Celtic name for the angel Azazel. The word ‘sidhe,’ which refers to the residence in which these beings resided beneath the earth, referred to the cherubim in which the angels were entrapped.

From the night hag known as Azazel’s human wife comes the original Irish concept of the Banshee, a word derived from ‘bean sidhe,’ which translates as “woman of the sidhe.” She is the woman, Azazel’s human wife, who is entrapped with Azazel within his cherub.

129

The Norse knew Azazel’s cherub entrapped within the earth as Niflheim. The word ‘Niflheim’ is derived from the Old English word for “dark” and a German and Latin root meaning “cloud.,” in essence, a dark cloud. Clouds in The Bible represent cherubim. Niflheim also translates somewhat as “abode of the mist,” a cherub being the allimportant source of the mist essential in the transfiguration process (See 1Enoch XIV.8). The Norse knew the place of Azazel’s imprisonment beneath the earth as Hel and Helvete (‘hel’ means “concealed cave” and is a cognate of the Hebrew word ‘Sheol,’ the place where Azazel was imprisoned within the earth), this being the “location of punishment,” which, more specifically, was the location of Azazel’s punishment, ‘Hel’ being etymologically related to the name of the Greek god Helios, a personification of Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth. It is within his cherub in which Azazel is entrapped. It is also known as Niflhel.

Azazel’s human wife, imprisoned with him within his cherub was known variously as Holle, Holla, Holda, Hulda, Hilda, Hilde, Hela and Hel. As specifically pertains to Azazel’s human wife, Azazel’s cherub within which she is entrapped was called Eljuonir, which translates as ‘Hel’s Hall.’ In the Prose Edda book Gylfanning (circa 1230 A.D.), the place where she is entrapped within the earth is also called the “Pit of Stumbling.” The human wives of Azazel and his angels were known by the Norse as Valkyries, the most famous of whom is Brynhildr/Bromide (whose name means ‘Brynie of Battle’), who represents the angel Azazel’s human wife. Her name is a cognate of the name of the Celtic goddess Bride/Bridget, and Britannia (oft depicted with shield and lance), the female figure who is emblematic of the country of Britain, a country so named in the honor of Azazel’s human wife. The ‘horses’ the Valkyries ride are symbolic of the cherubim of their angel husbands, in which they travel. Horses are a common symbol for cherubim in The Bible. The composer Wagner wrote an opera about them entitled The Ride of the Valkyries. The Valkyries are also known as the disir and as norns. ‘Dis’ means ‘lady/ladies,’ and ‘ir’ means Watcher/angel. The ‘disir’ are the ladies of the Watcher/angels, which is to say, the human wives of the angels.

Germanic operas have long sung the praises of the rebellious fallen angels, albeit in their archaic mythological forms.

In the Orphic hymn, To Pluto, Pluto being another such name under which Azazel was known, we are told: “Pluto…whose realms profound are fix’d beneath the firm and solid ground in the Tartarian 130

plains (in Tartarus),” and that his “throne,” which is to say, the place where his cherub rests, is “fix’d in Hades dismal plains” within the earth where he dwells with Proserpine, one such name under which Azazel’s human wife was known, “deep” in the “cave of Atthis (Attis),” which is to say, in Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. His entombed cherub is oft described/symbolized as a subterranean cave.

The Egyptians used the scarab as a symbol of Azazel’s cherub.

The Egyptian scarab represents the god Khepera (etymologically similar to the word ‘serpent,’ a word synonymous with the word ‘cherub’) and is often depicted riding through the sea of the sky in the Boat of the Sun, which represents a cherub. Khepera is known as the Roller, so-called for a scarab beetle’s practice of rolling dung balls, which, like a cherub, also rolls, which is to say, spins. And like cherubim, a scarab beetle’s wings, which are extended from its body while in flight, are retracted when at rest. The idea that Azazel is entrapped within the earth within his cherub is also paralleled by the scarab beetle’s habit of making their homes within the earth. All of these characteristics made the Egyptian scarab an apt symbol for the imprisoned Azazel and for his cherub, Behemoth. And last but not least, Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVI B.D. Chap. XXXA speaks of “the horns” of Khepera. Azazel is known as the horned-god.

Another apt symbol. Indeed, one of the many Egyptian titles for Azazel was “Lord of the two horns” (See the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXXI).

In the ancient Babylonian religion the god Baal (Baal means ‘lord’) was known as the “smiting god,” a god of war. Baal is a representation of the angel Azazel. Azazel taught humans the art of war (See The Book of Enoch). The humans of the Earth began worshiping as gods the angels who appeared in the days of Jared in 5000 B.C. (The author is not alone in this belief. According to Zohar 2:7a, the gods of the nations as spoken of in The Bible are not mere powerless idols but represent actual celestial beings who have influence over actual events on our Earth). Some gods/angels may have entered some of the most ancient of temples and possibly had roles in their construction. The Greek poet Hesiod in the 8th Century B.C. himself expressed the Grecian belief that in antediluvian (preFlood) times man lived with the angels whom he called “divine beings.” The Apocalypse of Abraham 31:5-8 also references mankind’s aforementioned worship of the angel Azazel.

In Zoroastrianism the angels who accompanied Azazel and 131

who are entrapped within the earth are called ‘daevas.’ The Greeks called these fallen angels ‘daemons’ (as well as Titans). In the Orphic Hymn “To Adonis” (Adonis, like Baal, means ‘lord’), Adonis being the Greek translation of the Semitic title under which Azazel was known, Orpheus describes him as being the “best of daemons” who was “much-named” (as he is known under many different names and titles) and therein associates him with the desert and with Tartarus.

Recall in The Book of Enoch Azazel was said to be entrapped within the earth (in the underworld of Tartarus) in the desert called Duidain.

They speak of one and the same being- the angel Azazel. In the hymn it is said Adonis/Azazel was “At stated periods doomed to set and rise” (in association with his entrapment within the earth, representing his setting, and with his rising, his later release in the period before the Second Coming), rising as he does in a “splendid lamp, the glory of the skies.” His “lamp,” “the glory of the skies,” is his cherub Behemoth. In The Bible, a “glory” is a common term for a cherub.

From the legend of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth also comes the Arabian story of the genie in the lamp (See The Arabian Nights, also known as The Thousand and One Nights). Our word ‘genie’ comes from the Arabic word for ‘jinn.’ According to the Koran 18.50, the jinn were the rebellious angels who transgressed the word of God. Azazel’s cherub was described as a lamp in the Orphic hymn because a cherub can be brightly lit and it therefore lights up the sky. In this hymn it is also said his “orb” (his round, wheel-like cherub) would later “shine again” in the “heavens.” People mistake the angel Azazel in his various personas as a representation of the sun (a sun god) because he is thereby associated with a brightly lit orb which subsequently sets and rises as does our sun (I would say that anyone with knowledge of the subject who yet still holds that the ancients worshipped the sun [‘sun-gods’] is either a complete blithering idiot or a complicit part of a concerted misinformation campaign). However, S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man (1858 A.D.) on p.48 informs his readers that one Babylonian word for the Sun was ‘Azaz,’ which makes Azaz-el the El of the Sun, a veritable Sun god of sorts, the so-called Sun god of the ancients, and Angel of the Sun. As such, Cabalists may refer to him as Sorat, the Demon of the Sun (the name Sorat is a cognate of the names of the gods Soranus, Horus and ‘Osiris’ represent Azazel/Behemoth).

The jinn (Azazel and his imprisoned angels) are also known as 132

the shedim (some shedim are invoked during kabalistic ceremonies such as was the golem (compare to the Hindu word ‘goblem’) of Rabbi Yehuda Loevy. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as benevolent shedim. Aleister Crowley, a practitioner of Magick, invoked the shedu Azazel under the guise of Choronzon, the Dweller in the Abyss. In Arabian countries the jinn/rebellious fallen angels are likewise associated with magic. Arab magicians are called Muqarribun, their traditions predating Islam itself (and of course, Aleister Crowley). Through their use of magic, the Muqarribun sought to control the jinn and to exploit them to their advantage. Spells were employed in an effort to control the jinn and to enslave them and as protection against them. The Egyptians also had practicing magicians (See Exodus 7:11), as did the Babylonians (See Daniel 2:10)). The kings of the east, the Persian Magi who visited Jesus at his birth were likewise, as their names suggest, magicians (the religion of the Magi, Zoroastrianism, prophesized the realease of the angel Azazel, as well as practicing the invocation of the fallen angels)

Chapter 6. Azazel: God of the Ancients The angel named Azazel was known as the Egyptian god Horus, teacher of the Lesser Mysteries at his first appearance on Earth, and teacher of the Greater Mysteries when he makes his second appearance after his release from his rocky imprisonment within the earth. The story of the imprisoned Azazel and of his three accompanying angelic comrades (along with his human wife) trapped inside Azazel’s cherub and the two hundred angels who accompanied him to the earth who are encased within the earth in their cherubim beneath the windswept desert sands is the origin of the worship of the legendary demonic seirim, the satyr-like jinn of the desert to whom the ancient Semites offered religious sacrifices as mentioned in Leviticus 17:7. They are also the jinn (from whence comes our word ‘genii’) which are spoken of in The Koran. The jinn, the angels imprisoned within the earth, are mentioned in The Bible as being the “satyrs” (demons) to whom the Israelites offered sacrifices and “after whom they play the harlot” as related in Leviticus 17:7. God equates worshipping other gods than Himself with the act of harlotry. In 2Chronicles 11:14-15 we are told Jeroboam instituted the worship of Azazel and of his cohorts (the satyrs) and of the calves which represented them in place of the worship of God (of God Most High, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), the ultimate act of religious harlotry. In Egypt, the four angels who are entrapped within Azazel’s cherub are known as the Four Genii of the Amenthes (of Hades). The Greeks also worshipped Azazel and his cohorts.

Azazel’s and the imprisoned angels’ story was the origin of the myths concerning the satyrs of ancient Greece. It seems almost every civilization has paid homage to these rebellious angels in one form or another.

According to The Zohar, in reference to the builders of the Tower of Babel, the first and foremost being Nimrod, “Said Rabbi Abba: ‘They were the subjects of a horrible and demoniacal infatuation in that they impiously wished to abandon the worship of the Lord for that of Satan or the serpent (Azazel) to whom they rendered homage and glory.’” Most religions from that point on scattered across many different lands and peoples did in fact worship the rebellious angels under a variety of names and titles in a large number of religious systems in the post-Noahic Flood period. In all 134

actuality, the Tower of Babel (as well as the city which grew alongside it) was named after Azazel. As we learn from S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.80 one ancient spelling of the name of the angel Azazel was Asas-el. In this vain he was also known as Abab-el from whence is derived the the word Babel (Ibid. p.82). Babel was named after Azazel (Aba/Abu) for it was there beneath their feet where Abussos was located, where Abu/Aba/Abab-el/Azazel lay entombed within the earth. One may without error call the Tower of Babel the Tower of Azazel (Azazel is also the god Bel of The Bible (Bel is a shortened form of Abab-el). Abab-el is also a cognate of the word Baal). The land of Assyria in a like way derives its name from the Assyrian god Assar who is Azazel. In The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society xii.14, the British politician, Major-General, crown director of the East India Company, Fellow of the Royal Society, archaeologist and Father of Assyriology the 1st Baronet Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson (with Oxford University and British Museum associations I might add) provides a translation of the following ancient Assyrian inscription which speaks of: “The God Assar (read: the El Assar, which is a cognate of Asas-el (Azazel). El translates as ‘god.’ Assar is a variant spelling of Assur), the great Lord (read: the great Baal; Baal means ‘lord’), and the gods (read: the angels) inhabiting Assyria, to them I make adoration.”

Azazel was worshipped in many religious systems under a variety of different names, as was his cherub Behemoth. Azazel was known to the Canaanites as Baal (compare to Aba) (God equates the worship of Allah of The Koran to the worship of Baal (See Hosea 7:16. The word ‘Allah’ is a cognate of the word ‘Baal.’ There was a Babylonian city called Alalah, named after the god Alah, who represented Azazel. See Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p. 81).

The Persian/Zoroastrian Dev (the god/the El) known as Azaz (from whence is derived the name Azaz-el) was also known as Aziz (See S.F. Dunlap, Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.75). Aziz in Arabic is derived from the root A-z-z and is a cognate of the Hebrew word Oz. Al-Aziz, as must be noted, is one of the names of Allah in Islam.

Indeed, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica (which derives its name from Brittania, a goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife!): “Muhammad originally feared that his revelations might be the work of the jinn” (the angel Azazel (Baal/Allah) was in fact the first and foremost of the jinn). The Sumerians knew his cherub as Enlil, god of storms and of the air, a description of Azazel’s cherub (En=lord 135

lil=wind, air). Enlil, aka: Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, was known as the Splendid Serpent of the shining eyes. A serpent is a Biblical name for a cherub. Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, was also worshipped as Hadad/Adad/Adodos, the storm god. Behemoth was also personified and worshipped by the Indians as Indra, the god of war and thunder.

The Norse worshipped Azazel’s cherub as the storm god Thor (from whence is derived our word for Thursday, or Thor’s day, by which we honor him), the Anglo-Saxons as Thunor, and the Germans as Donar.

The Norse also knew Behemoth as Tyr, and as Odin’s (Azazel’s) residence, Valhalla (compare to Alalah/Alah). The Irish worshipped Azazel’s cherub as the sun god/storm god Lugh. Azazel’s cherub was also worshipped as the Egyptian Aten (and as the god Ra). The godhead of Aten included a mother (representing Azazel’s wife), her male child (the first-born human/angel offspring of Azazel and his human wife) and an adult male (representative of Azazel). His cherub was the Greek Dionysus when he appeared as Persephone’s “celestial spouse…in the form of a distant sun…whose rays play” about her.

Azazel’s cherub is the Egyptian Osiris, god of the underworld, later known as Serapis following the Alexandrian conquest, god of the subterranean world (Osiris (Azazel/Azazel’s cherub), was known under a variety of names as the Hymn of Osiris in the Papyrus of Ani attests. According to the early church father Athenagoras in Chapter XXVIII of A Plea for the Christians: “Osiris is named Dionysos by the Greeks.” Bacchus is another name for Dionysos).

The Greek/Roman/Etruscans worshipped Behemoth as the sun god Apollo.

The Romans knew it as Sol Invictus, which was the Greek Helios.

The Greeks also knew it as Phoebus. The word ‘el,’ as in elf and angel, means ‘shining one,’ while ‘an’ means ‘heaven.’ Phoebus is Latin for ‘Shining One,’ a moniker used in respect to the god Apollo.

Apollo represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth. Azazel’s cherub Behemoth is the Mitra of the Indian Rigveda. It is the Zoroastrian Mithra, the Roman Mithras and the Persian Mehr/Mihr (also related is the cognate name of the angel Metatron). The Akkadians worshipped Azazel’s cherub Behemoth as Erra, the god of plague.

Azazel/Azazel’s cherub is the so-called sun-god Nergal of the Chaldeans, god of pestilence and fever (descriptive attributes of Azazel’s cherub), who was the King of the underworld of Hades, a nomenclature descriptive of his entrapment within the earth. He is also Yama, god of Hades. He is Resheph, the Semitic god of war and plague. The Phoenicians called Azazel Resheph of the Garden (of 136

Eden from whence he was exiled). He is the Rephan/Remphan of Acts 7:43. He is the Sumerian god Enki (En=lord Ki=Earth). He is MalkiResha, ruler of wickedness. He is the Yucatec Mayan Itzamna (whose emblem was the Tau cross), the Aztec Tonacatecuhtli. He is the Sidonian Eshmun, the Scythian Daramah. He was at times worshipped under the name Adoni/Adonis, and as Aidoneus, Lord of the Lower World, as well as the “shepherd” Tammuz (Dumuzi) who was said to have descended to the underworld from which he later arises. He is Melqart of Tyre, king of the underworld, the Gaulish Orcus, god of the underworld and the Etruscan Mantus, god of the lower world. He is Moloch/Molech (See Amos 5:26, Acts 7:43, Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 20:2-5, 1Kings 11:7, 2Kings 23:10 and Jeremiah 32:35). He is the Ammonite Milcom/Malcolm (See 1Kings 11:33 and 2Kings 23:13).

He is the Moabite Chemosh (See 1Kings 11:7, 1Kings 11:33 and 2Kings 23:13). In Simon’s Necronomicon grimoire Azazel’s cherub is referred to as Cthulu, a name derived from the Sumerian word for the underworld. The Sumerians knew Azazel’s cherub Behemoth as KUR, a chthonic (underworld) monster.

The angel Azazel is also named as one of the chief demons of the mystical Jewish Kabbala. He is the Judaic Ashmodai/Asmodeus, king of demons, whom the Zoroastrians celebrated as Aeshma-daeva.

He is the Assyrian Ashur (‘Aschere’ is Arabic for Sirius and a cognate of the word ‘Ashur.’ Compare to the name of the god Ashur, who also represented Azazel. The name ‘Ashur’ refers to the dog star Sirius, a god named for the fact that the heliacal rising of Sirius marked his future release. It must also be mentioned the word ‘Sirius’ is a cognate of the word ‘Osiris,’ minus the ‘O’ and plus the ‘u,’ and like an ‘O’, Azazel’s cherub is circular-shaped). He is the Sabine Soranus (a word which is also a cognate of ‘Osiris’). He is Asclepios, the god of healing (whose sign was a red cross). He is the Roman Saturn, the Geek Kronos. He is the Celtic/Druidic Saman/Samhain, god of herders (as we learn from S.F. Dunlap, Saman was one of the names of Baal, who is Azazel. See Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p. 95).

He is the Abaddon/Apollyon of The Bible. He is Hadad. He is Mercury. He is the horned-god, Wicca. He is the Norse god Odin, the German Wotan/Woden (from whence comes our word Wednesday (Woden’s day), by which we honor him. The German Wotan is the Mayan Votan, the self described “snake”). He is the Balinese Setesuyara. He is the Egyptian snake-god Set (Aleister Crowley invoked his “Guardian angel” Set under the name Aiwass. Aiwass is 137

Azazel). He is the Egyptian Seker/Sokar/Wesir, ‘Lord of the Mysterious Region of the Netherworld.’ He is the Phrygian Atys (Attis). He is the Chaldean Ana, King of the Lower World. He is the god An. He is the Amorite Anu (compare to Soranus). He is Anubis (a cognate of Anu as well as Soranus), the Egyptian god of the underworld in the Ogdoad system. He is the Manichean King of Darkness whose kingdom lies below the earth. He is Ptah. He is the Egyptian god Pataikos (the name Patrick is derived from his name. St. Patrick reputedly brought Christianity to Ireland, but who he really is is a Christianized version of the Egyptian god Pataikos. One of St. Patrick’s symbols, like Azazel, is the snake/serpent. And like St. Patrick, the god Pataikos was said to protect people from snakes). He is the Egyptian snake god Nehebkau, invoked for protection from snakes and cures for snakebites. He is the Aztec Mictlantecuhtli, who’s name translates as the “lord of Mictlan,” which is to say, lord of the underworld. He is Chicunauhmictlan, king of the underworld. He is the Welsh Arawn, king of the Otherworld, called Annwn (which by one account translates as ‘underworld’). He is the Greek messenger (the word angel translates as messenger) god Hermes (which signifies a Serpent). He is Hermes Trismegistus, the Greek equivalent of the Egyptian Thoth (the wise counselor).

He is the Ptolemaic Hermanubis.

He is Manungal.

He is the Roman/German/Balkan/Celtic Dis Pater. He is Consus the Councilor.

He is the Celtic Aericurus. He is the Roman Elagabalus, the Syrian El-Gabal. He is the Druidic Hu (when initiates into the Druidic Mysteries are buried in a coffin it is to symbolize Azazel’s interment within the earth). He is the Greek Dionysos, also known as Bacchus, the Roman Vulcan and the Greek Hephaestus. Hades/Pluto who ruled the underworld also represents Azazel and his entrapment within the earth. Azazel is also known as Sirius, the Hidden God of the Illuminati, so named as his return is associated with the Dog Star Sirius. In Simon’s Necronomicon (by H.P. Lovecraft) Azazel is known as AZAG-THOTH (“Azag” in Sumerian means ‘Enchanter’ or ‘Magician’;; “Thoth” is the Coptic name given to the Egyptian God of Magick and Wisdom, Tahuti, who was evoked by both the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and by Aleister Crowley himself (Thoth was known to the Greeks as Hermes, from whence is derived the word ‘Hermetic.’ All of these gods represented the angel Azazel), and also as KUTULU, the man of the underworld (the story of the angels imprisoned beneath the earth and those who take refuge in the oceans 138

are the beings on which H. P. Lovecraft styled the ‘Other Gods’ in his Cthulhu Mythos. They were said by Lovecraft to have been imprisoned there after having lost a war against the good “Elder Gods,” shades of rebellion in heaven). Azazel is sometimes referred to in Hebrew as Paimon (he is invoked under this name in the magic system found in The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage), the Rabbinic title for Paimon being OZAZL (from whence comes the name for the Wizard of Oz of Theosophical Society member L.Frank Baum, a wizard signifying a male witch). And most innocuously Azazel is the Freemasonic Great Architect.

The following is exemplary of a typical invocation of the angel Azazel, here under the name of the Egyptian god of magic, Tahuti, as invoked

by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member Israel Regardie (1907 – 1985 A.D.): “I invoke Tahuti (the Egyptian god of magic, the angel Azazel), the Lord of Wisdom and of Utterance, the God that cometh forth from the Veil. O Thou majesty of the Godhead, Wisdomcrowned Tahuti, Lord of the Gates of the Universe, Thee, Thee do I invoke…” - From: The Romance of Metaphysics (Israel Regardie) Azazel’s cherub was known by the Persians as Mithras, the god of light. Origen confirms Mithraism was of Persian origin (See Against Celcus 6.22). Firmicus Maternus tells us Mithraism was based on the Persian rituals of the Magi (See The Error of the Pagan Religions 5.1-2). The Magi, such as the three Magi (wise men) who sought Jesus at his birth, were Zoroastrians. The cult of Mithras was embraced by Roman Legionaries, it being a contemporary religion to the early Roman Catholic Church by whom was adopted the Mithraic Sacrament. The worship of Mithras (Azazel) in subterranean chambers was done to symbolize his entrapment within the earth. Mithras (aka Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, the disk) was at times referred to under the religious title of Sol Invictus). Aleister Crowley invoked Azazel under the guise of Choronzon (aka Khoronzon, the Master of Form in the Enochian Magic system of the English Dr. John Dee), the Angel of the Abyss and alternatively as Ra-Hoor-Khuit, “god of war and vengeance” (See The Book of the Law). Azazel is the Islamic Allah.

There are churches in the United States presently devoted to the worship of Azazel (one is called The Church of Azazel). He is Ahriman (Angra Nainyu), the Zoroastrian Prince of Evil, chief of the daevas, dweller of the nether world. He is the Egyptian Horus the Child/Harpocrates. Roman Catholics of today themselves venerate 139

angels, such as St. Michael, an act tantamount in the eyes of God to that of worship. Likely Azazel is also venerated under the guise of other obscure Roman Catholic tutelary saints such as the treatment of St. Patrick. Tutelary saints are the Christianized version of Roman tutelary demons/guardian spirits called genius loci, the leader of whom is the Roman Faunus (in Greek, Pan), a god who represents Azazel.

The tutelary demons/guardian spirits represent the jinn, a group composed of Azazel and the other 199 angels who accompanied Azazel when he came to the Earth (Manly P. Hall, one of the leading esoteric scholars of the 20th Century, in Chapter 16 of Lectures on Ancient Philosophy makes this terse statement: “Great Pan is not wholly dead. Some day he will burst the bonds that chain him in the dark abyss.” Hall was indeed steeped in the wisdom of antiquity, esoterically referring to his knowledge of the angel Azazel’s expected future release).

Theosophists would have us revere the Genesis serpent, who represented the angel Azazel, as “God” and “Christ”: “So little have the first Christians (who despoiled the Jews of their Bible) understood the first four chapters of Genesis in their esoteric meaning, that they never perceived that not only was no sin intended in this disobedience, but that actually the “Serpent” (Azazel) was “the Lord God” himself, who, as the Ophis (meaning ‘serpent’), the Logos, or the bearer of divine creative wisdom, taught mankind to become creators in their turn. They never realized that the Cross was an evolution from the “tree and the serpent,” and thus became the salvation of mankind. -- The Secret Doctrine, II, 215-6 (by H.P. Blavatsky).” - Theosophical Light on the Christian Bible (Henry T. Edge, 19th Century) (the caduceus, a symbol of Azazel, is an allegorical symbol of the “tree and the serpent”)

140

Chapter 7. The False Prophet Azazel In Revelations 13:11, the beast with the “horns like a lamb” (the horned god) which speaks “like a dragon” is the False Prophet.

According to The Apocalypse of Abraham 29:3-7, at the time when the President with the mortal wound that was healed begins to be worshipped, the angel Azazel will be loosed from his prison within the earth, along with his cherub, by a great earthquake (Azazel makes everyone worship him under penalty of death. See Revelations 13:1215 and Revelations 13:8 concerning this subject). This is why the False Prophet is said to speak like a dragon. A dragon represents a cherub. An earthquake will in the future free Azazel’s cherub from its rocky prison within the earth. The great earthquake mentioned in Revelations 16:18 is the earthquake which releases Azazel’s cherub from the igneous rock in which it is encased. Azazel/Behemoth is also “the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit” as mentioned in Revelations 11:7, being freed from the abyss of Tartarus by the great earthquake which rocks the world.

Azazel will be released along with three other angelic comrades (See Revelations 9:14-15). The three other angels may be Jeqon, Asbeel and Semiazaz. These four angels seem to be the four fallen angels identified by Cornelius Agrippa (1486 - 1535 A.D.)(See Cornelius Agrippa’s Occult Philosophy), among whom is the angel Azael (‘Azael’ is a contraction of Azazel). At least one woman accompanies Azazel and his three angelic cohorts, the “night hag” (etymologically originating from Ninharsag, a Sumerian title of the human wife of the angel Azazel. She was known by the Hebrews as the night-hag Lilith) mentioned in Isaiah 34:14. This woman is Astarte (Asherah/Inanna/Isis/Ishtar), the angel Azazel’s human wife (as we may ascertain from The Descent of Inanna, she is said to have “dark locks of hair,” while The Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzi describes her vulva as being a “black boat.” In effect, we know she has dark, most likely black, hair). It is possible there may be more individuals with them, such as the human wives of the three other angels; these five individuals, though, have received special mention.

The following scripture from the book of Revelations describes their future release: 141

“Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound (beneath the earth) at the great river Euphrates.” So the four angels were released…” - Revelations 9:13-14,15 By the Numbers “Then the sixth (6) angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four (4) horns of the golden altar before God, (14) saying to the sixth (6) angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four (4) angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. (15) So the four (4) angels were released, who were held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind.” - Revelations 9:13-15 (as related in this scripture, a full 1/3 of surviving humankind will be killed in the weeks following the release of Azazel and his angels. The angel Azazel is the Genesis serpent. The word ‘azi,’ the root of the word Azazel, is the Iranian Avestan word for ‘serpent.’ In Iranian folklore, the Azi Dahaka, whose name roughly translates as ‘manlike serpent,’ is a reference to the incarnate angel/Genesis serpent Azazel. Azi Dahaka/Azazel was also known as ‘Dahag,’ a cognate of ‘Dahaka.’

According to Persian prophecy, at the time of the end of the world the imprisoned Dahag/Azazel will finally burst his bonds and devastate the world, consuming one in three (a full 1/3) of all humans and livestock! The Persian legend of Dahag/Azi Dahaka is a variant prophesy of the angel Azazel’s future release. Azi Dahaka was also known by the variant spelling of Zahak/Zahhak, sometimes spelled Zohak/Zohhak. From this name for Azazel is derived the words Zoroaster and Zohar (as well as Zozobra). The Zohar is a storehouse of Kabalistic knowledge which according to legend was taught to humans by angels. Kabalists invoke the angel Azazel during Kabalistic magic ceremonies. Related to these words is OZAZL (a variant spelling of Azazel) the Rabbinic title for Paimon, the so-called demon king of Hell; Azazel is invoked under the name OZAZL in the magic system found in The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage authored by a man known as “Abraham the Jew”)

The blowing of the Sixth Trumpet heralds the angel Azazel’s release from the earth. When we multiply out this scripture, we find it takes place in the year 2016 A.D.: 6X4X14X6=2016. Continuing, we find 4X15X4=240. When we subtract 240 from 2016, we get 1776, the year of the birth of the United States of America. In 2016 A.D, Azazel is released from his prison within the earth and joins forces with an American President who is possessed (Overshadowed) by Satan. Once again this dynamic duo will deal in deception. The command to release Azazel is given in Revelations 9:13-15. The action which releases him is described in Revelations 8:1-5. Azazel’s release is a much anticipated event amongst those humans who are currently in contact with him.

Many pagan holy-days were Christianized by the Roman Catholic Church to ease the process of the conversion of pagans to Christianity. A Christian veneer was simply applied to the old religions which still retained the vestiges of its wholly pagan past: “William the Conqueror (the first Norman King of England) rendered waste and desolate nearly half of his new kingdom; the re-peopling of the wilderness seems to have been done in great measure by the descendants of the Neolithic and Bronze-age stock who were saved from massacre by the remoteness and inaccessibility of their dwellings. These were the places where the Old Religion (which included ritual magic practices featuring the invocation of fallen angels) flourished; and it was only by very slow degrees that even a small amount of outward conformity with Christianity could be established, and then only by means of compromises on the part of the (Roman Catholic) Church; certain practices were permitted, certain images were retained, though often under different names.” – p.6 The God of the Witches (Margaret Alice Murray, D.Lit., “Fellow of University College, London,” 1933 A.D.)

Many of these quasi-Christian/pagan celebrations were later secularized in the Americas as a response to the American restrictions concerning the separation of church and state. Some of these were pagan festivals which centered upon the predicted future release of Azazel and his angelic cohorts. This is very true of Lughnasad (August 1), a festival celebrated in the Southern Hemisphere whose Northern Hemisphere opposite is Imbolc (February 2; Imbolc translates from the Old Irish as “in the belly,” as in the belly of Mother Earth, where Azazel and his cohorts are imprisoned), the Christianized version being Lammas Day (August 1 on the Julian Calendar, which is July 19 on the Gregorian Calendar). The Lughnasad festival celebrates Azazel’s release from his earthen imprisonment. There’s even a Scottish Gaelic proverb regarding Azazel’s release at Imbolc: “The serpent (Azazel) will come from the hole (will be released from his earthen imprisonment) on the brown Day of Bride” (Bride being the Celtic goddess Brigid, the name by which the Celts worshipped Azazel’s human wife). How irresistibly quaint.

The secularized version of Imbolc is Groundhog Day (February 2). Groundhog Day features an underground-dwelling creature whose emergence from his lair within the earth is also awaited with much 143

anticipation, a beast esoterically representing the angel Azazel. In 1899 A.D., members of a Masonic lodge (the word ‘Mason’ is often used interchangeably with the word ‘Freemasonic’) called the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge of Quarryville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, composed a song about Groundhog Day, betraying the true hidden reason for its observance, with lyrics including: “We hail the King of Prophets…Today the Groundhog comes! Glory! Glory! To the Groundhog…Today the Prophet comes.” And with a weather predicting accuracy rate of 37%, the Groundhog, too, like the False Prophet Azazel, is most certainly a false prophet. One could better predict the weather by the flipping of a coin! Why then, the celebration of Groundhog Day? It is in anticipation of the future release of the angel Azazel. Because of American restrictions concerning the separation of church and state, some Christianized pagan holy-days (from whence comes our word, ‘holidays’) were secularized. High-level magic-practicing Freemasonry is in essence a secularized version of an ancient mystery religious organization.

Honorary members of the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge included high-degree Freemason British Prime Minister Winston Churchill as well as 33° Freemason U.S. President Harry S. Truman. An article in the January 31, 1955 A.D. edition of Sports Illustrated Magazine by John O’Reilly describes the adherence of Groundhog Day by Freemasons of the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge as being part of a “mystic rite” which is another way of saying a magic ritual.

The Deluge occurring as it did in 4340 B.C., it is likely that the Egyptian calendar based upon the heliacal rising of the star Sirius first came into use in 4243 B.C. The heliacal rising of Sirius (Sabt is the Egyptian name for the star Sirius) in Egypt occurred on July 19th in 4243 B.C. The beginning of the Egyptian year (1/1) was in 4243 B.C. pegged to (and prophesied) the future date of Azazel’s release on July 19th of 2016 A.D. In Egypt, Azazel’s human wife, represented by Isis, was a goddess linked to the Dog Star, Sirius, the brightest star in the nighttime sky. According to the Isis Aretalogy from Cyme, Isis was “she that riseth in the Dog Star,” which is to say, Azazel’s human wife, known as Isis by the Egyptians, was to resurface at the time of the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, also known as the Dog Star. In fact, the Festival of Sirius honoring Azazel’s human wife was linked to the date of the heliacal rising of Sirius for this very reason. Related to this was the Festival of Sokar (Seker). The Egyptian god Sokar (-kar 144

means ‘hunter’), also spelled Seker, was one of a mariad of names by which the angel Azazel was known. His festival coincided with the beginning of the Season of the Inundation, called Akhet, the season beginning the Egyptian New Year commencing on the date of the heliacal rising of Sirius (July 19). This season marked the season of the rising of the Nile flood waters and consisted of four 30-day months, the first month (beginning on 1/1 (Thoth 1) on the Egyptian calendar) named Thoth after the god of the same name, this date corresponding to our current July 19th, and began on the day of the heliacal rising of Sirius (a single year between heliacal risings of Sirius constitutes a Sothic year. According to Chapter LXI of On Isis and Osiris from Plutarch’s Morals, the god the Greeks called Apollo (a god who represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth) was also known as Osiris, Serapis and Sothi in the language of the Egyptians. From the word ‘Sothi’ comes the word ‘Sothic.’ The word ‘Sirius’ is a cognate of ‘Osiris). ‘Thoth’ was yet another name for the angel Azazel, and the month was so named because it was at the beginning of this month and on this date of Thoth 1 on the Egyptian calendar that Azazel in the future was expected to later be released.

The Word and Revelation of Esdras prophesies Azazel’s future release: “And God said: First I will make an earthquake (this is the earthquake by which Azazel is released) for the fall of four-footed beasts and of men; and when you see that brother gives up brother to death, and that children shall rise up against their parents, and that a woman forsakes her own husband, and when nation shall rise up against nation in war, then will you know that the end is near. For then neither brother pities brother, nor man wife, nor children parents, nor friend’s friends, nor a slave his master; for he (Azazel) who is the adversary of men shall come up from Tartarus (from his prison within the earth), and shall show men many things.” - Word and Revelation of Esdras 18,19 (note here how Azazel is also known as an ‘adversary.’)

The following scripture also speaks of Azazel’s release: “…Behemoth (Azazel’s cherub) will be revealed (released) from his place (from his prison within the earth), and Leviathan (Satan’s cherub) will ascend from the sea, those two great monsters (cherubim) 145

which I (God) created on the fifth day of creation…” -

The Apocalypse of

Baruch XXIX.4

Satan and his angels who at this time reside in the sea and Azazel and the angels who accompanied him to the Earth who are at this time imprisoned within the earth are the “eternal sinners” mentioned in The Testament of Kohath, which speaks of: ‘…the eternal sinners…in the depths of the sea and in all the hollows of the earth…’ (See The Testament of Kohath (4Q542)). (The story of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth in part spawned the Hollow Earth Theory. The Oxford University graduate, Fellow of the Royal Society, mathematician, astronomer (he served as Astromer Royal in England from 1720 – 1742 A.D.), astrologer, and ceremonial magician Sir Edmond Hailey presented his Hollow Earth Theory before the Royal Society of London in 1691 A.D.) (Pindar uses the term “hollow earth” in Dirges Fragment 137 and Threnoi. 8)

The people of the world will marvel when they see Azazel in his cherub upon his release: “The beast (Azazel) that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit (Azazel is released from his rocky prison within the earth) and goes to perdition (this act is related in Revelations 19:20-21); and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast (Azazel), because it was and is not and is to come (Azazel comes when he is released from his rocky prison within the earth on July 18/19, 2016 as related in Revelations 6:7-8).” Revelations 17:8 (ancient days were reckoned from sunset to sunset)

The angel Azazel is the False Prophet, the “beast which rose out of the earth” as related in Revelations 13:11, rising out of the earth upon his release from an earthen imprisonment. Azazel upon his release will be hailed as the long-awaited Jewish Messiah himself: “…I know that you have not the love of God in you. I (Jesus) have come in my Father’s name (in God’s name), and you do not receive me; if another (a reference to the angel Azazel) comes in his own name, him you will receive (as the promised Messiah).” - John 5:42-43 The Didache, also known as The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, contains this related revelation: 146

“…when lawlessness increases, they shall hate and persecute and betray one another, and then shall appear the world-deceiver (the False Prophet Azazel) as Son of God (as the Messiah), and shall do signs and wonders (such as making fire come down from heaven. See Revelations 13:13), and the earth shall be delivered into his hands…” The Didache

Azazel will emerge to rule once more. Isaiah 45:8 is an esoteric reference to the future release of the False Messiah Azazel’s release from his earthen prison: “Let the earth open and bring forth the Saviour.” - Isaiah 45:8

(See also Part IV of the Rosicrucian work entitled The Waterstone of the Wise which makes reference to this scripture, no doubt in reference to Azazel’s anticipated release by the Rosicrucians.

Interestingly enough, in 1Samuel 28:13 KJV where the witch of Endor, glimpsing the future with the help of a divining “familiar spirit” during the magic ritual which she performed at the behest of Saul forsaw Azazel’s future release when she saw “gods (in reference to Azazel and his three angelic cohorts) ascending out of the earth.” ) (Author’s Note: Author’s often incorporated (incorporate) occult themes in their works of ‘Fiction,’ many of which books have attained fim adaptation in Hollywood, such as the 1980 A.D. movie entitled Blue Lagoon (based on a 1908 A.D. novel by Henry De Vere Stacpoole, thrice adapted into a full-length feature film), where one of the child-like (as well as Adam and Eve-like) characters mistakes a skull-shaped rock-idol of a pagan god she finds on a Paradise-like tropical desert island for that of Jesus Christ, shades of the legend of the false prophet Azazel)

Azazel is in this regard known as the Ophis-Christos, the socalled serpent Christ of the Gnostics.

The word ‘Ophis’ means ‘serpent.’

Azazel upon his release will be thought to be the promised coming Messiah/Christ. But Azazel is a false Christ, a False Prophet.

Two facts we must remember are (1) Jesus was rejected by the majority of the Jews who still fruitlessly await their Messiah’s initial appearance to this day (this is the very definition of “antichrist” as defined in 1John 2:22, 1John 4:3 and 2John 1:7) and (2) Christians still await their Messiah’s Second Coming. When Azazel makes his appearance, he will be accepted as Christ come in the flesh by both Jews and Christians alike.

In the hymn “To Adonis,” the incarnate Adonis/Azazel is physically described as being of “beauteous form” with “tender hair.”

We learn from the Greek lyric poet Pindar in his 6th and 7th Olympian 147

Odes as well as from his 2nd Pythian Ode that Azazel has blond hair (in the Odes, Apollo (Behemoth, and by extension, Azazel) is described as being a “golden-haired god.” For this reason Azazel is also represented as the blond-haired serpent god Glycon. Azazel’s symbol is the serpent, and his incarnated body has blonde hair). When the handsome blonde-haired angel Azazel (in reference to this fact, an extremely handsome man is at times referred to as an “adonis” as an examination of its definition so attests) arises from his earthy prison one must not mistake him to be Jesus who is said in Isaiah 53:2 to have “no form or comeliness that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him,” Jesus being physically, one might say, ugly according to today’s societal norms. When Azazel reappears in 2016 A.D. he will proffer himself as the promised Messiah, though he is but a False Prophet and categorically the spirit of antichrist spoken of in 1John 4:3, who denieth that Jesus Christ the Messiah had already come in the flesh.

Theosophy and the World Teacher (World-Deceiver) Some, such as the Theosophists, portray Azazel as being the Ascended Master, the World Teacher, ‘Maitreya.’ The Theosophical Society’s concept of the Maitreya is modeled upon the Buddhist Matreya. Known as ‘Lord Maitreya’ (the words ‘Baal’ and ‘Adonis,’ both titles of ancient gods who represent the angel Azazel, means ‘lord’), he is also referred to as the ‘Cosmic Christ,’ upon his return reigning as the spiritual leader of the Earth, returning, as it were, in the words of the Theosophical Society President and occult writer Alice A. Bailey, from "the place on Earth where He has been for many generations." In her book Initiation, Human and Solar (1922 A.D.), Ms. Bailey expounds: “Group two (the devas/devils) has the World Teacher (who is the false prophet Azazel) for its presiding Head. He is that Great Being Whom the Christian calls the Christ; He is known also in the Orient as the Bodhisattva, and as the Lord Maitreya, and is the One looked for by the devout Mohammedan, under the name of the Iman Madhi. He it is Who has presided over the destinies of life…and He it is Who has come out among men before, and Who is again looked for. He is the great Lord of Love and of Compassion, just as his predecessor, the Buddha, was the Lord of Wisdom…He is the World Teacher, the Master of the Masters, and the Instructor of the Angels, and to Him is committed the guidance of the spiritual destinies of men.” Per Benjamin Creme (Share International Foundation), Maitreya’s Mission (1993 A.D.) Volume Two (p.186): “Maitreya says: ‘The last time I came, as Jesus, it was written in The Bible that when I appeared again the very elements of nature would be disturbed’ (a reference to the earthquake by which he is released).” (Author’s Note: The name ‘Maitreya’ is a cognate of the word ‘Mitra.’ In fact, Azazel’s cherub Behemoth was the Mitra of the Indian Rigveda. It is also the Zoroastrian Mithra, the Roman Mithras and the Persian Mehr/Mihr). According to a Dec 12, 2008 A.D. Share International Foundation 148

press release appearing in Oxford University attendee Rupert Murdoch’s Marketwatch: “Awaited by all faiths under different names, Maitreya is the Christ to Christians, the Imam Mahdi to Muslims, Krishna to Hindus, the Messiah to Jews, and Maitreya Buddha to Buddhists” (this is in essence the near exact teaching of the Bahá'í Faith [a Sufi offshoot], headquartered in Haifa, Israel, whose ‘Seat of the Universal House of Justice’ headquarters is located on the slope of Mt. Carmel, in the area of Megiddo where is to take place the end-time Battle of Armageddon).

According to the Share International website, Maitreya “has been expected for generations by all the major religions…Although the names differ, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher, whose personal name is Maitreya.” It must be noted as Crème relates, Maitreya is already here, now, upon this Earth! It must also be mentioned the Asala Festival associated with the Great White Brotherhood and which is per Theosophical Society author C.W. Leadbeater in The Masters And The Path (1925 A.D.) said to be “held in the private house of the Lord Maitreya…is held on the full moon day of the month of Asala, (in Sanskrit Asâdha), usually corresponding to the English July,” the date of the full moon in the month of July in the the year 2016 A.D. being, incidentally, July 19 th. (From the legends concerning Azazel and his subterranean-based angels is derived the Buddhist concept of the subterranean world known as Agharta and of its capitol, Shamballah, where was said to dwell its Supreme Ruler, a being who represented the angel Azazel. Maitreya Buddha is associated with the legendary city of Shamballah) (For more detail, see also Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles) (According to Theosophist author and one-time Chief of the Ancient Order of Druids in England Gerald Massey in The Seven Souls of Man: “It is positively provable that the Christ is but a type identical with the Horus, the Iao-Heptaktis, the Buddha or Pan of the prior cultus. According to Irenæus, the Valentinian Gnostics maintained the identity of the Saviour with Pan, who is called Christum in the Latin text.” All of these are gods who represented the angel Azazel, who is the False Christ who is to come)

Explains Freemason and Theosophical Society member C. W. Leadbeater in Glimpses of Masonic History: “Masonry must surely have a wonderful part to play in the civilization of the future. Not for naught have the old hallowed rites been preserved in secret and the immemorial powers of the Mysteries transmitted throughout the ages to our modern world of the twentieth century; for we stand to-day on the threshold of a new era, which will be heralded by the coming forth once more of the World Teacher…The coming of the World Teacher has always in the past marked a revival or an inauguration of the Mysteries. Thoth in Egypt, Zoroaster in Persia, Orpheus in Greece - each of these mighty Messengers (a play on the word ‘angel,’ meaning, ‘messenger’) of the White Lodge (of the rebellious fallen angels), who were yet one Messenger (the angel Azazel) appearing under different names and in different forms, left behind Him a glorious rite of initiation to lead men to His feet after He had gone.

That great Teacher of mankind passed from human sight as 149

Gautama the Lord Buddha; but the sceptre of the Lord of Love was placed by the spiritual KING in the hands of His successor, whom to-day we revere as the Lord Christ, whose coming we await with hearts filled with longing love…He, too, will surely take the sacred vessels of the Mysteries and fill them anew with His own wonderful life; He, too, will mould them according to the needs of His people and the age in which they live. For the influence of the sixth ray, the ray of devotion which inspired the Christian mystics (such as Roman Catholic Bishop St. Albertus Magnus and his student, the Dominican priest St. Thomas Aquinas, as well as Jacob Bohme and Emmanuel Kant) and the glorious Gothic architecture of the Middle Ages is passing away, and the seventh ray is beginning to dominate the world - the ray of ceremonial magic which brings the especial cooperation of the Angelic hosts, of which Masonry itself with its many coloured pageant of rites is a splendid manifestation.” One would do well to abscond from it as the rat doth flee the sinking ship.

Concerning the following, Ms. Besant is gravely mistaken, and greatly deceived: “Thinking now for a moment of that one great Being who in the West is spoken of as the Christ, He (Christ) is regarded by all who have gone deeply into these matters as the Supreme Teacher of all the religions of the world. Put in another phrase, that Mighty One whom you speak of as the Christ is the same individual as the Buddhist speaks of as the Bodhisattva.

You are worshipping the same individual, although perhaps most in both the religions would feel offended at the idea. When talking not very long ago with a Buddhist monk, I told him that the Bodhisattva - the Lord Maitreya - was the same as the Christian Lord Christ, and he was shocked at the idea; to him it was a blasphemy; just as it may be to some of you but a blasphemy to think that the One whom you reverence as the Christ is worshipped under another name in eastern lands. But to me, it is one of the most beautiful of things to think that the millions of the Buddhist world who bow the knee to the Bodhisattva send up their love and their prayers to the same mighty Being as the One to whom the millions of Christendom bow down in homage. To realise that both are worshipping the same mighty One seems to me so fair a thing; religions are nearer than they dream, and worshippers are joined in prayers although distinct in the names to which those prayers are addressed. Surely it is a greater thing, a gladder thing, to know that your Christ is worshipped by myriads who have never heard His Name; for to Him all prayers to the God-Man go up, and it matters not whether they name the Lord Maitreya, the Lord Krishna, the Lord Christ; they are but three names of One who presides over all, and who leads His children, to whatever faith they belong. Was it not the Christ Himself who said: “Other sheep I have that are not of this fold;; them also I must bring and they shall hear My voice;; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd?” There is one Shepherd in the higher world, though there are many folds in the one of division which is our earth; but the one Shepherd shall draw them all together, for they know His voice and shall surely learn to know each other.” - Mysticism (Annie Besant) Also, compare to Oahspe: A Kosmon Bible in the Words of Jehovih and his Angel Embassadors 5.5 (John Ballou Newbrough, 1882 A.D.) which writes of “the Lord God of Maitraia” of whom it was said “guarded the earth…so that, in heaven, the Lords and the Divan

150

hosts, in mirth (as an inside joke of sorts), styled him The Savior of Men!”

Aleister Crowley Oxford University alumni Aleister Crowley invoked the angel Azazel under the guise of Choronzon (also known as Khoronzon, the Master of Form in the Enochian Magic system of Dr. John Dee), the Angel of the Abyss and alternatively as Ra-Hoor-Khuit. One of Aleister Crowley’s professed goals (towards which end all practitioners of Magick work) is the “establishment of the Kingdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit (read: Azazel) upon the earth” (See De Arte Magica).

Choronzon/Khoronzon is derived from the name of the Greek god Chronos/Cronos/Kronos, a god who represented the angel Azazel.

Compare to Nigel Jackson, who also works in preparation for the coming reign of Azazel: “For the Religion of the Horned One (the Horned God of the witches), closely concealed in the conclaves of the wise through centuries of persecution, is now revealed to those with ears to hear and eyes to see and wit to understand—the cultus of the Horned Dragon-Serpent waxeth in might and will be established in strength upon the earth, his kingdom, his chosen hierarchs once again move amongst men and women, uttering the oracles of the Black Goat and preparing the way for the glorious reign of our Master, great Azazel.” – p.12 Masks of Misrule (Nigel Jackson, 1996 A.D.)

The Ariosophic False Prophet “Ahrimanic powers prepare the evolution of mankind in such a way that it can fall a prey to Ahriman (Azazel) when he appears in human form within Western civilization…Ahriman (Azazel) will appear in human form (as the False Prophet) and the only question is, how he will find humanity prepared. Will his preparations have secured for him as followers the whole of mankind that today calls itself civilized, or will he find a humanity that can offer resistance.” - The Ahrimanic Deception (Rudolph Steiner, 1919 A.D.) (As we learn from S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man, Amon-Horus (Azazel) = Horammon, to which this author would add, Horammon is a cognate of the word Ahriman)

“…a great part of mankind today is already under the control…of 151

Ahrimanic forces…the Ahrimanic influence…will increase in strength until an actual incarnation of Ahriman (Azazel) takes place among Western humanity.” - The Ahrimanic Deception (Rudolph Steiner, 1919 A.D.) The Freemasonic Savior “The (Freemasonic) worshippers of Lucifer (Satan)…co-operate with him in order to insure his triumph, and he communicates with them to encourage and strengthen them; they work to prepare his kingdom, and he promises to raise up a Saviour among them, who is anti-Christ, their leader and their king to come.” - Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry (L. Fouquet, 1898 A.D.) Part II (The Freemasonic legend concerning Hiram Abiff was yet another variation of the story of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth, including his later release, whereupon he is hailed as the messiah/false prophet. The Mysteries of Freemasonry (as written by Captain William Morgan, by George R. Crafts), being an exposé on Freemasonry for which revelation Morgan met his death by fellow Freemasons, sparking a national outcry against this group, giving birth to the Anti-Mason political group, reveals: “Hiram Abiff represents…the Messiah.” The Freemasonic “Grand Master” Hiram Abiff is but a false-messiah, representing the False Prophet who is to come: “…the legend of Hiram and his assassins is a Jewish substitute for the Egyptian representation of the murder of Osiris; and…the legend of Hiram is an allegory of the Saviour;; so that the representation of the death of Hiram is a middle link, connecting the death of the Cross to the death of Osiris.” – Freemasonry (“By a Master Mason,” New York, 1828 A.D.)) (As we learn from Hargrave Jennings in The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries (p.215), the Gnostic group known as the Ophites maintained the serpent of Genesis (who represented the angel Azazel) was the Savior (called the Ophis-Christos), and that the serpent was the emblem of the Destroyer, who is, as we learn, the angel in the pit/abyss mentioned in Revelations 9:11) (“A very limited knowledge of the history of primitive worships and mysteries is necessary to enable any person to recognize in the master mason Hiram, the Osiris of the Egyptians, the Mithras of the Persians, the Bacchus of the Greeks, the Atys of the Phrygians, of which these people celebrated the passion, death and resurrection, as Christians celebrate to-day that of Jesus Christ.” - A General History of Freemasonry p. 392 (Rebold, 1879 A.D.)) (“The serpent (representative of Azazel) is the symbol and prototype of the Universal Savior (the False Prophet (False Messiah) of Revelations), who redeems the worlds by giving creation the knowledge of itself and the realization of good and evil” (a reference to the actions of the Genesis serpent Azazel as set forth in Genesis 3:1-7). - The Secret Teachings of All Ages (Manly P. Hall, 33° Freemason))

The Grecian Savior According to Tooke’s Pantheon of the Heathen Gods and Illustrious Heroes (1823 A.D.), the Greeks called their god Jupiter (who represented Azazel), Soter/Servator, meaning, the savior.

The Eleventh Hour 152

A crescent-shaped quarter moon takes place at the occult 11th hour on July 26, 2016 A.D. at precisely 2300 hours, nearly one week to the day after Azazel’s release on July 19, 2016 A.D. This is the “eleventh hour” of which Matthew 20:6 speaks in parabolic form.

Expect a momentous day. Many shall die for their faith in Jesus at this time, as this parable so alludes.

As an extra added note, according to the Hutchinson Educational Encyclopedia (Helicon Publishing Ltd 2000), the word ‘eleventh’ is etymologically related to the Old English words ‘endlufon/endleofan,’ the Old Teutonic ‘ainlif-,’ the Gothic ‘ainlif’ (from which, incidently, is esoterically derived the acronym for ‘alien life form,’ namely ALF, the group to which alien angelic life-forms do so belong), the Icelandic ‘ellifu’ and the German and Dutch word ‘elf.’

‘Elf,’ plural ‘elves,’ are the German and Dutch words for Azazel and his fallen angels. The ‘eleventh’ hour by definition specifically pertains to Azazel and his fallen angels. The eleventh hour, which is to say, the hour of the elves, is Azazel’s darkest hour.

The Location of Azazel’s Cherub As we learn from 1Enoch XX.1-8, Uriel (Ur-i-el) is one of the “holy angels who watch” (a Watcher), who is the angel set to watch “over Tartarus,” quite literally. The name of the city-state of Ur, Abraham’s home, is referenced in his name. Tartarus, where it is said Azazel and his angels are entrapped, lies beneath the earth in this vicinity, this being the same general geographical area as the city-state of Eridu (today on the site of ancient Eridu is the village of Tell Abu Shahrain in Iraq), located near the Euphrates River (or perhaps the following lamentation is indicative of the angel’s presence: “In the abode of Ur dark is thy house, in the city dark is thy house.” - p.58 Tammuz and Ishtar (S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D.) ).

The location where Azazel is imprisoned, and from which place he is later released, is identified in Revelations 9:13-15 as being (like Eridu) “at the great river Euphrates” in the Middle East: “Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound (beneath the earth) at the great river Euphrates.” So the four angels (including Azazel) were released…” - Revelations 9:13-14,15 153

Azazel is one of these “four angels” and this scripture provides a clue as to the general location of the desert called Duidain (‘dain’ means ‘valley’), also known as Dudael (again, note the similarities), a word which translates as ‘God’s Cauldron,’ where Azazel was imprisoned within the Earth. Both Ur and Eridu were located along the Euphrates River (note the etymological similarities between Eridu and Duidain). A tremendous earthquake will rock this area on July 18/19, 2016 A.D. on the day of the heliacal rising of Sirius, thereby releasing Azazel’s cherub, and with it Azazel and his accompanying cohort, from the igneous coffin in which he is encased (“From remotest antiquity the festival (the Festival of Sirius) represented Tammuz (Azazel) disappearing beneath the waves of the subsiding Euphrates (representing the subsiding waters of the Flood.

He was entrapped beneath the earth near the Euphrates River), and later the mother too wandering in Aralu (the place of Azazel’s under earth entrapment), arousing her son from the sleep of death, ascending with him at last in her bosom (representative of Azazel’s future release), restoring him to the weeping multitude of Erech (in the land of Shinar). All natural and astral conditions favoured an immediate identification of the goddess with the newly risen star (Sirius). This identification must have taken place as early as the dynasty of Ur…In their liturgies which were sung at the wailings of Tammuz they represent the mother wandering in Sheol (the place of Azazel’s under earth entrapment), beseeching the queen of those dark regions to allow her star to return to earth. It is probable that the Sumerians ended the festival of the Tammuz wailings by a feast of joy and gladness when Sirius rose on the eastern horizon (on July 19th). The ordinary name for Sirius is kak-lan or Bow Star, since Ishtar as goddess of war carries a bow, but the name kak-si-dt or Javelin Star (tartahti) (compare ‘tartahti’ to Tahuti and Tartarus) was also used for a Canis Majoris.” - pp.168-169, footnote Tammuz and Ishtar (S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D.)).

The word ‘Pharaoh’ is the Hebrew form of the Egyptian word Per-‘o, meaning ‘great house.’ Related to this is the name Baal-Peor, which means ‘Lord of the Great House,’ which was the name of the Moabite god mentioned in The Bible in Numbers 25:3, a god which also represented Azazel. The Assyrian word ‘Easagila’ in a like manner means ‘magnificent house.’ The ‘Easagila’ was the name of the temple of Marduk, a god who was also known as Ashur, both gods representing the angel Azazel. The great/magnificent temple/house as such represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, inside of which he is entrapped within the Earth. Temples were often built in representation of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth in its function as a place wherein the god/angel Azazel dwelt in idol form under a variety of different names. Enki’s (Azazel’s) E-Abzu, by definition his subterranean house, was also a representation of Behemoth within which Azazel, represented as Enki (also known as Ea; note this root in the word ‘Easagila’), is entrapped within the Earth. The “four angels” 154

mentioned in Revelations 9:14 above, the four angels entrapped within Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, including Azazel himself, are also mentioned in the Egyptian “Pyramid Text of Unas” Line 599 where is mentioned the “four gods who are in the great house.” Angels in ancient times were often worshipped as gods. The ‘great house’ of the “Pyramid Text of Unas” represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth.

Egyptian Book of the Dead Plates V and VI B.D. Chap. LXXII speaks of the god Osiris who represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth and by association Azazel as “lord of brightness, thou who art head of the Great House (Behemoth), and who dwellest in night and in thick darkness,” within the dark recesses of the Earth. In Egypt, it the Pyramid of Gizah was used to represent the tomb of the god Thoth (who was the equivalent of the Greek god Hermes and the Roman god Mercury). Thoth/Hermes represented the angel Azazel and his pyramid/tomb represented his cherub Behemoth within which he was entombed within the rock beneath the earth, the so-called Underworld (E. A. Wallis Budge in The Egyptian Heaven and Hell, explains: “each tomb was intended to represent the Underworld.” ).

This belief originated in the land of Sumer. Ziggurats (step-pyramids) likewise representing Azazel’s cherub Behemoth were found at the city of Ur. The Biblical Tower of Babel was itself a ziggurat/step-pyramid with a temple dedicated to the god Marduk/Azazel at its summit. Likely such a ziggurat was erected over the area where Azazel lay entrapped. And likely this was the Biblical Tower of Babel. The tower was said to be built at the site where the descendents of Noah’s family, the survivors of the Flood, settled in the “plain of Shinar” (Sumer) as set forth in the Genesis 11:2. This tower was built over the site where Azazel was interred within the Earth, built beneath the site where had come to rest the Majestic Glory of God, the mighty magnificent mother-ship!

Azazel’s Workmen The story of Azazel’s and his angel’s entrapment inside their cherubim within the Earth is also the basis for the legend concerning the demons said to have been confined by King Solomon in a magic bronze vessel as related in the 17th Century grimoire called The Lesser Key of Solomon. This tale also has parallels to the entrapped genie in the magic lamp of the Arabian Nights stories, as the genie therein represents an angel whilst the lamp represents the angel’s cherub. The evil ifrit are called the “seed of Iblis” (Iblis=Satan) in The Book of 155

One Thousand and One Nights, also known as Arabian Nights. The word ‘ifrit’ means ‘rebellious;;’ the evil ifrit of the book representing rebellious angels. Arab magicians are called Muqarribun, their traditions predating Islam itself.

Through the use of magic, practitioners believe they can control the spirits (jinn; genii) and exploit them to their advantage, by obliging them to serve their master (compare to the story of Aladdin’s Lamp). In Arabian countries the jinn, who represent rebellious fallen angels, are associated with magic.

Spells are used to control them and to enslave them or as protection against them. In fact, the magical use of talismans and amulets goes hand in hand alongside Muhammadism itself (as is also true of Catholicism which employs ‘medals’ of the Patron Saints which are likewise worn as charms for protection). The noted Freemason Manly P. Hall, in his Lectures on Ancient Philosophy reveals that: “From the Arabians C. R. C. (the Rosicrucian Christian Rosenkrantz (RoseCross)) also learned of the elemental peoples and how, with their aid, it was possible to gain admission to the ethereal world where dwelt the genii and nature spirits. He thus discovered that the magical creatures of the Arabian Nights Entertainment actually existed…He was further instructed concerning…the rituals of magic and invocation…and the binding of the genii.” What he learned in truth was of the jinn entrapped within the desert, of Azazel and of his angels! This knowledge he brought with him to Germany, and armed therewith he established the Rosicrucian Society which was dedicated to this goal, circa 1400 A.D. The group’s publication of the Fama Fraternitatis in 1607 A.D. (the year the first permanent settlement in North America was established at Jamestown in Virginia) and the Confessio Fraternitatis in 1616 A.D. broadcast these beliefs to the world.

Indeed, according to Chapter IV of the Confessio Fraternitatis, Rosicrucians, as do all practitioners of magic, appeal for help from angels and spirits for the revelation of God’s mysteries. It must be noted German Protestant Reformer Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 – February 18, 1546 A.D.) was a perported Rosicrucian, with Luther’s personal seal incorporating a Rosicrucian (rose-cross) motif. Martin Luther officially split with the Roman Catholic Church with his posting of the famous 95 Thesis, a decidedly key event in the Churches storied decline.

The following selection from Egyptian Book of the Dead Plates V and VI B.D. Chapter I speaks of the Egyptians belief that it 156

was possible to gain entrance into the underworld where dwelt Azazel: “Osiris (Behemoth/Azazel) the chief of Amenta, the lord of eternity (the eternally living, possessed of an eternal life)…chief of the company of his gods;; and…Anubis (Azazel) [dweller] in the tomb (Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, entrapped within the earth, was considered to be his ‘tomb’), great god, chief of the holy dwelling (the Great House, aka Behemoth). May they grant that I may go into and come out from the underworld…that I may go forth into the presence of [Osiris] (Osiris = Behemoth within which Azazel is entrapped)…” The Egyptians falsely taught (and handsomely profited thereby) that the living might enter and leave the underworld at will.

They even wrote books concerning this subject: “The beginning of the chapters…of coming forth from and going into the underworld.” - The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate V Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XII B.D. Chap. XVIII states: “Grant…that I may enter into and come forth from the netherworld,” the “netherworld” wherein was entrapped Azazel and his rebellious angels.

The esoteric knowledge concerning the rebellious fallen angels formed the fundamental principles underlying all subsequent magick systems. The grimoire known as The Greater Key of Solomon speaks of “assemblies” of “Evil and rebellious Spirits (read: angels) dwelling in the Abysses of Darkness” whom its practitioners sought to “conjure” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VII).

Translated from manuscripts found in the British Museum, this manuscript was translated by S. L. MacGregor Mathers, a 19th Century magician who was head of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (the Golden Dawn, founded in 1887 A.D., was an offshoot of the English Rosicrucian Society (SRIA) and consisted largely of leading Freemasons). This work influenced many magic orders including that of Mathers’ himself and of those magic orders founded by such Freemasonic practitioners of magick Aleister Crowley and Eliphas Levi. The manuscript itself reveals the rebellious fallen angel Azazel as being “ye who by your own sin have been cast down from the Empyreal Heaven, and from before His (God’s) Throne;; by Him (God) who hath cast ye (Azazel) down unto the most profound of the Abysses of Hell (read: Hades, beneath the earth)” (See The Greater 157

Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VI).

Europe itself is steeped in magic tradition (as lately emplified by the Harry Potter series): “cunning folk in Britain were professional or semi-professional practitioners of magic active from at least the fifteenth up until the early twentieth century. As cunning folk, they practiced folk magic - also known as "low magic" - although often combined this with elements of "high" or ceremonial magic…One of the most common services that the cunning folk provided was in combating the effects of malevolent witchcraft and the curses which these witches had allegedly placed upon people…One of the best known means by which the cunning-folk opposed witchcraft was through the use of witch bottles; ceramic bottles containing such items as urine, nails, hair and nail clippings which it was believed, when put together, would cause harm to the malevolent witch.” – Wikipedia: Cunning folk in Britain. (One may successfully argue that cunning folk do in fact exist unto this day! It must be noted England retained anti-witchcraft laws called Witchcraft Acts upon its books in one form or another often mandating the death or imprisonment of the offender from the year 1542 A.D. until the day of their ultimate repeal in 1951 A.D. In essence, an anti- antiwitchcraft law was built right into the United States Bill of Rights First Amendment to the United States Constitution by these cunning English Freemasonic colonialists: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” No doubt the fate of the witch-craft acts was sealed in the post-World War II years with Britain’s acceptance of the U.N. charter. The Preamble to the United Nations General Assembly Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 18 (A/RES/3/217 A) (10 December 1948) states: “Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion;; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.”)

Witch-bottles have been found on both sides of the Atlantic in America and Europe.

Cunning folk often provided their services for a price.

Germany and France also had their versions of the cunning folk (one of the most famous examples of European ‘cunning-folk’ is the group known as the Gypsies). Anyways, it is said Aleister Crowley was an initiate of such an English cunning man named George Pickingill.

Pickingill is said to have had a major influence on the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) as well as on the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Aleister Crowley, like S. L. MacGregor Mathers, was also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. In his book Liber 158

Samekh, which has as its stated goal “the Attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel during the Semester of His performance of the Operation of the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage,” Aleister Crowley invokes the angel Azazel under the ancient Egyptian names/titles of Azazel, namely Ptah, Apopphrasz, Khonsu, and Abrasax, calling him the Lion-Serpent in esoteric reference to the Genesis serpent Azazel’s later expected appearance as the false-prophet Messiah Lion-of-the-Tribe-of-Judah.

The invocation states: “Hear me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me;; so that every Spirit (read: every fallen angel) of the Firmament and of the Ether: upon the Earth and under the Earth, on dry land and in the water; of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire, and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me” invoking “all Spirits (read: every fallen angel)…upon the Earth and under the Earth: on dry Land and in the Water.”

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Rosicrucians and the Vril Society were entities closely associated with Madam Blavatsky’s powerful and well organized Theosophical Society. In fact, S. L. MacGregor Mathers was a Theosophical Society (in London) member. The Theosophical Society established its branch in America in New York City in 1875 A.D. Theosophy is a religious philosophy based on ancient esoteric religious teachings and associated magic practices, being tasked in comparative religious studies (some famous Theosophical Society members include L. Frank Baum (author of The Wizard of Oz), William Butler (W.B.) Yeats (Irish poet; prominent member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), Lewis Carroll (author of Alice in Wonderland, also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; attended Oxford University), Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (a Spiritist; best known as author of the Sherlock Holmes detective series, less known for authoring The History of Spiritualism. Doyle was also a Mason), Jack London (author of The Call of the Wild; honorary member and attendee of the Bohemian Grove), James Joyce (author of Ulysses, a modern re-telling of Homer’s The Odyssey), French novelist Jules Verne (author of A Journey to the Center of the Earth, a story based on the Hollow Earth theory), T. S. Eliot (an Oxford University alumni), Thomas Edison (‘The Wizard (by definition a ‘male witch’) of Menlo Park.’

Thomas Edison's parents were known to be Spiritualists), British occult author and member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (which she joined in 1919 A.D.) Dion Fortune (pen name of Violet Mary Firth, a trance-medium who authored The Mystical Qabalah. The word ‘mystical’ is synonymous with the word ‘magical’), Jane Goodall (Jane Goodall Institute), Carl Gustav Jung (Nazi Psychiatrist, pupil of reknowned psychiatrist Sigmund Freud; known to have collected data from Spiritist séances. Demonic possession is known as demonomania, the psychiatric study of which is called demonopathy), Paul Gauguin (French Post-Impressionist artist), Elvis Presley (Musician and hunka hunka burnin’ love), Shirley MacLaine (Actress/Prophetess), Henry Wallace (33rd Vice-President of the U.S.), Jawaharlal 159

Nehru (First Prime Minister of India), Mohandas K. Gandhi (Indian Independence Movement Leader), G.R.S. Mead (Author/translater of many esoteric/occult works: “Mead became a member of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society in 1884. He abandoned his teaching profession in 1889 to be Blavatsky’s private secretary and also became a joint-secretary of the Esoteric Section (E.S.) of the Theosophical Society, the E.S. was for those whom the Theosophical Society deemed more advanced.” - Wikipedia: GRS Mead), Abner Doubleday (Union Civil War General; later President of the Theosophical Society in America), and George Bernard Shaw (Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics (founded 1885 A.D.). Shaw was also associated with the Fabian Society (founded in 1883 A.D.), which society laid the foundations of the Labour Party in England (Theosophical Society President Annie Besant was also a member of and leading speaker for the Fabian Society. For additional information, see also Chapter CVI entitled The Fabian Society from Occult Theocrasy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller). It must be noted that Oxford University attendee and alleged 33° Freemason Tony Blair, former Labour Party Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is the Quartet’s envoy to the Middle East involved in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks (a British Evening Post newspaper once reported: “Tony Blair worked for MI5 (Britain's domestic military intelligence division) before he became Labour leader.”). This highlights the greater Theosophical Movement’s control (read: Azazel and the fallen angel’s control) over the great British Commonwealth, as well as the establishment of its influence over the fate of the modern state of Israel (it must be noted Tony Blair is a reputed attendee of past Bohemian Grove ceremonies.

Another devotee of Middle East peace, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, was also a well known member of the Bohemian Club in California as well as being affiliated with the CFR). The Theosophical Society as well as the greater Theosophical Movement (included in which is Freemasonry) are constructs and governing tools of the rebellious fallen angels. It is pertinent to note the Latin word ‘labor/labour’ is a cognate of the the English word ‘elf.’ Elves are folkloric representations of the rebellious fallen angels (the word ‘el’ in the word ‘elf/elves’ is a root of the word ‘angel.’ Elves are well known for the magic practices they were said to employ. The Labour Party is so-named in their honor). (Notable Quote: “…Theosophy is religion, and the Society (read: the Theosophical Society) its one Universal Church…” - The Right Angle by Theosophist Geoffrey Farthing)

The following was published in a Time© magazine article in 1946 A.D., a testament to the times: “Such eminent scientists as Alfred Russel Wallace, Sir William Crookes and Thomas Edison became members of her (Madame HP Blavatsky’s) Theosophical Society…When Alfred, Lord Tennyson (a Fellow of the Royal Society)…died (he died in 1892 A.D.), a copy of Madame’s mystical poem, The Voice of the Silence, lay on the table beside his bed.” – Religion: Theosophy’s Madame, Time © November 11, 1946 A.D. (Notable Quote: “It was written of Tennyson just after his death: ‘It is understood that he believed that he wrote many of the best and truest things he ever published under the direct influence of higher intelligences, of whose presence he was distinctly conscious. He felt them near him, and his mind was impressed by their ideas…’” – pp.293-294 Cosmic

Consciousness by Richard Maurice Bucke, 1901 A.D.)

Indeed: “Theosophy was the name finally given to the whole vast renaissance in the world of magic (which involves the invocation of the rebellious fallen angels) that affected many thinkers so profoundly at the beginning of the century.” – The Dawn of Magic (Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier,1960 A.D.) (aka The Morning of the Magicians)

The Theosophical Society is devoted to the study of Theosophy, hence the name. Magic is an all-important part of The Great Work wrought by the greater Theosophical Movement. The Theosophical Society espoused magic: “We have also to consider another class of entities which are frequently employed in magic; and this time we are dealing with real and evolving beings…There are vast hosts of these beings, and an almost infinite number of types and classes and tribes among them. Broadly speaking, we may divide them into two great classes (a) nature-spirits or fairies (an elf is considered a nature-spirit) , and (b) angels or, as they are called in the East, devas (Author’s Note: Both of these classes are one and the same, the first class being British folk-loric representations of the angels of this second class). This second class begins at a level corresponding to the human (representing an incarnate angel), but reaches up to heights far beyond any that humanity has as yet touched, so that its connection with magic is naturally of the slightest kind, and belongs solely to one special type of it, of which we shall speak presently. The nature-spirits have been called by many different names at different periods and in various countries. We read of them as fairies, elves, pixies, kobolds, sylphs, gnomes, salamanders, undines, brownies, or “good people” and traditions of their occasional appearance exist in every country under heaven (these, however, are simply various folk-loric representations of the rebellious fallen angels). They have usually been supposed to be merely the creations of popular superstition, and it is no doubt, true that much has been said of them which will not bear scientific investigation. Nevertheless it is true that such an evolution does exist, and that its members occasionally, though rarely, manifest themselves to human vision (a Close Encounter of the Third Kind). Normally they have no connection whatever with humanity, and the majority of them rather 161

shun than court the presence of man…yet now and then exceptional circumstances have brought some of them into direct contact and even friendship with man…Naturally they possess powers and methods of their own, and sometimes they can be either induced or compelled to put these powers at the service of the student of occultism (through magic invocation)…They can therefore readily be dominated by the exercise of mesmeric powers, and can then be employed in many ways to carry out the will of the magician. There are many purposes for which they may be utilized, and so long as the tasks prescribed to them are within their power they will be faithfully and surely executed…All this will no doubt seem strange and new to many minds, but any student of the occult will confirm what I have said here as to the existence of these beings and the possibility that they can be used in various ways by one who understands them…The forces to which I have referred are those most commonly employed in ordinary types of magic…We may usefully divide the subject of magic into two great parts, according to the methods which it employs; and we may characterize these respectively as methods of evocation and of invocation – of command and of entreaty. Let us consider the former first. Although it may act through many different channels, the one great force at the back of all magic of this first type is the human will...By this magnetic control may be gained over any of the classes of nature-spirits…Indeed it is scarcely possible to fix the limits of the power of the human will when properly directed; it is so much more far-reaching than the ordinary man ever supposes, that the results gained by its means appear to him astounding and supernatural…We find abundant traces of this magic of command in the ceremonies connected with almost every religion in the world…” - Some Glimpses of Occultism (C.W. Leadbeater, 1919 A.D.) Chapter VIII (This book treats extensively on the subject of magic)

Leadbeater explains: “The highest system of evolution connected with this earth, so far as we know, is that of the Beings whom Hindus call the Devas, and have elsewhere been spoken of as Angels, Sons of God, etc...Their attention can be attracted by certain magical evocations, but only Adepts of the First Ray have power to command their obedience.” - Some Fundamental Teachings (C W Leadbeater))

162

And again: “Magic...is truly, as its name implies, the great science (compare to Francis Barret who calls magic a “good and laudable science”)...The difference between White (mageia) and Black (goetia) Magic lies in the motive...when that Will is set to benefit others, to help and bless all who come within its scope, then is the man a White Magician, and the results which he brings about by the exercise of his trained Will are beneficial, and aid the course of human evolution...But when the Will is exercised for the advantage of the lower self, when it is employed for personal ends and aims, then is the man a Black Magician, a danger to the race, and his results obstruct and delay human evolution...” - Study in Consciousness: A Contribution to the Science of Psychology (Annie Besant)

Though magic practices were embraced by the learned members of the Theosophical Society (such as Judge and Leadbeater), it was not, professedly, a practice meant for the masses. William Q. Judge, one of the original founders of the Theosophical Society, in his magazine The Path: Considerations On Magic (1887 A.D.) cautions his followers: “Occultism and magic are not child's-play, as many may learn to their sorrow…Let all who have joined the Theosophical Society remember this, and search their hearts before taking the first step in any magical formulary.” Many a soul has thereby been lost.

One of the purposes of the ancient Egyptian system of magic was to gain mastery and control over Azazel and his angels, who were the Egyptian ‘gods’ who were imprisoned within the earth, compelling these angels to do their bidding. An invocation found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVI B.D. Chap. XXVII, speaking of Azazel and the angels who are imprisoned with him within the earth, says: “O ye lords of eternity, ye possessors of everlastingness…be obedient unto me in the underworld.” In deference to the fact that the Egyptian system of magic centered upon the belief in the angel Azazel imprisoned within the earth along with his angelic followers, Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XIV B.D. Chap. XVIII states: “Now as concerning every (magic) charm and all the words (spells) which may be spoken against me, may the gods (read: Azazel and the angels imprisoned with him) resist them, and may each and every company of the gods withstand them.” Practitioners of black magic often used the 163

angels as weapons aimed at other persons, against other practitioners of magic in particular.

The Vril Society (also known as The Luminous Lodge) was a secret society founded in Berlin, Germany, by a group of Berlin Rosicrucians being based on English politician (1st Baron Lytton) and author Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel The Coming Race (1871 A.D.) about an advanced group of men said to be residing within the Earth and of who it is said will later emerge to rule over the world. Said to once inhabit the Earth’s outer surface, the group was forced to retreat underground many thousands of years ago by a natural catastrophe similar in nature to that of the Biblical Flood. This group was said to be trained in the application of the vril force, which can be used to control the physical world, including the minds and bodies of others.

If this story sounds familiar it should, the story of course being based upon Bulwer-Lytton’s esoteric knowledge concerning Azazel and his group of fallen angels who are currently entrapped within the earth, including the influence they exert upon mankind. Bulwer-Lytton (a Grand Patron (1871-73 A.D.) of the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, a magic practicing group which accepted only Master Masons (33°) as members) wrote on many themes including the occult. Indeed, this novel was, as we learn from the words of Bulwer-Lytton himself, predicated on: “The superstitious belief, common to miners, that gnomes or fiends dwell within the bowels of the earth,” the gnomes/fiends representing, of course, Azazel and his group of fallen angels. Bulwer-Lytton was a member of the British House of Lords, as well as a minister of the state (MP).

It is of the very most of important notes that Bulwer-Lytton was associated with the California Theatre located in San Francisco, California U.S.A. (the theatre was built by William Ralston, treasurer of the Bank of California). In fact, the California Theatre opened on January 18, 1869 A.D. with a homage performance of a Bulwer-Lytton play (Shakespeare’s plays (replete with tales of magic and supernatural beings) were also a major theatrical mainstay. It must also be noted such theatres in general also hosted Stage Magic acts). One of the members of the stock company responsible for the theatre’s construction was Henry “Harry” Edwards. Edwards was a Founding Member of the Bohemian Club (founded in 1872 A.D.) which is also located in San Francisco, California. Other Founding Members of the 164

Bohemian Club included Daniel O’Connell and a group of San Francisco Chronicle newspaper staffers, a paper which by 1880 A.D. had become the largest circulation newspaper on the West Coast of America).

The Bohemian Club owns the Bohemian Grove: “Bohemian Grove is a 2,700-acre (1,100 ha) campground located at 20601 Bohemian Avenue, in Monte Rio, California, belonging to a private San Francisco-based men's art club known as the Bohemian Club. In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a three-week encampment of some of the most powerful men in the world.” – Wikipedia: Bohemian Grove). (“Since the first flurry of (UFO) reports in July of 1947, each July brought a definite peak in reports (coinciding with “coincidentally” enough with the Bohemian Grove magic ceremonies/Esbats)…The first documented reports of sightings similar to the UFO sightings as we know them today appeared in the newspapers of 1896. In fact, the series of sightings that occurred in that year and the next had many points of similarity with the reports of today. The sightings started in the San Francisco Bay area on the evening of November 22, 1896…I tried to find out if the people in these outlying communities saw the UFO before they heard the news from the San Francisco area or afterward, but trying to run down the details of a fifty-six-year-old UFO report is almost hopeless. Once while I was on a trip to Hamilton AFB (Air Force Base) I called the offices of the San Francisco Chronicle and they put me in touch with a retired employee who had worked on a San Francisco paper in 1896. I called the old gentleman on the phone and talked to him for a long time. He had been a copy boy at the time and remembered the incident, but time had canceled out the details. He did tell me that he, the editor of the paper, and the news staff had seen “the ship,” as he referred to the UFO. His story, even though it was fifty-six years old, smacked of others I'd heard when he said that no one at the newspaper ever told anyone what they had seen; they didn't want people to think that they were ‘crazy.’” – The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects Chapter 16 (Edward J. Ruppelt, 1956). Excerpted from: “Edward J. Ruppelt's memoir of his role in the seminal US Air Force UFO study projects: Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book.”) (The word ‘chronicle’ from whence the newspaper takes its name is derived from the name of the god Chronos/Cronos/Kronos, also known as Father Time and who represents the angel Azazel) (Author’s Note: The name of the city of Los Angeles in California means ‘city of angels,’ the city also boasting the L. A. Angels baseball team.

California has a long occult history with magic and fallen angels. There you will also find the Los Angeles Temple of the Builders of the Adytum, “a modern Mystery School” specializing in the study and practice of Qabalah [founded by the Master Mason and ex-OTO member Paul Foster Case], an offshoot of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, twice removed. One may trace the Golden Dawn and its offshoots the world over.

As Geoffrey Farthing elucidates in The Right Angle concerning the esoteric importance of the designation ‘Builders’: “Throughout the countries of the Orient, wherever magic and the wisdom-religion are studied, its practitioners and students are known among their craft as Builders” (those high-degree Masons of this ilk [the practitioners of magic], one example being Elias Ashmole, were designated Operative Masons. Those Masons considered mere students of the occult still in the process of procuring such knowledge are known as Speculative Masons); it is these practitioners of magic [Operative Masons] and the students of wisdom-religion [Speculative Masons], who are the “…"Builders"…of which Osiris (Azazel) is the chief” - Deity, Cosmos and Man by Geoffrey Farthing. One case in point is the Builders of the Adytum: “The Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A.) is a school of the Western mystery tradition [read: a school of magic in the Platonic tradition] based in Los Angeles which is registered as a non-profit tax-exempt religious organization. It was founded by Paul Foster Case and has its roots in both the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Masonic blue lodge system (as we learn from

165

Proofs of a Conspiracy, it is from the ranks of the Blue Lodge master masons from which the Illuminati are culled)...The Order was founded 1922 by (Dr.) Paul Foster Case (Case was known to be in correspondence with Dr. John William (J.W.) Brodie-Innes, leading member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s Amen-Ra Temple in Edinburgh, Scotland as well as with Aleister Crowley’s ex-secretary Dr. Israel Regardie. Regardie was a member of Stella Matutina, a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Case was a senior member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the United States. After a disagreement with Moina Mathers, head of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn and widow of (S.L.) Macgregor Mathers, he left the Golden Dawn (at that time known as Alpha et Omega) along with some former members and formed a separate order (known as the Builders of the Adytum)...Case was ordained a priest by Bishop Charles Hampton in the Liberal Catholic Church in Ojai, California, in 1937, and served parishes throughout the southern California area.” – Wikipedia: The Builders of the Adytum. Upon Case’s death, he was succeeded by occultist Ann Davies. Rev. Ann Davies was also a major contributor to the resurgent interest in the occult from the mid ’50s through the ’70s through public speeches at Universities as well as television and radio appearances. Associated with the Builders of the Adytum was the occult group also located in Los Angeles called the Ecclesia Gnostica (The Gnostic Church). From Wikipedia we learn: “…the Ecclesia Gnostica was originally organized in England under the name the Pre-Nicene Gnostic Catholic Church in 1953, by the Most Rev. Richard Jean Chretien Duc de Palatine…Bishop Duc de Palatine also received a charter in 1953 to head an organization first called "the Brotherhood of the Illuminati," renamed "the Order of the Pleroma" in 1960. He received other esoteric lines and charters such as: the Templar Order, Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, Memphis and Mizarim Rites of Freemasonry, and the Martiniste Order, and termed the combination with the Ecumenical Apostolic Succession ‘the Wisdom Religion-Gnostic Mystic Tradition’…In 1959 the organization became active in the United States through the work of Stephan A. Hoeller, who served as a priest of the church in Los Angeles, and was subsequently consecrated as regionary bishop for the Americas in 1967. He became presiding bishop on the death of Bishop Duc de Palatine in 1977.” Professedly: “Clergy, members and other persons interested in the Gnostic Church often possess Martinist, Masonic, Rosicrucian, Theosophical and similar affiliations and dedications.” - Gnostic Scriptures and The Gnostic Church by Stephan A. Hoeller Bishop, Ecclesia Gnostica. Hoeller is also ‘Director of Studies’ of The Gnostic Society founded by Theosophist and H.P. Blavatsky-associate James Morgan Pryse in Los Angeles circa. 1928 A.D. For more information see Wikipedia: Gnosticism in modern times).

The Gnostic Catholic Church is the ecclesiastical division of the OTO (Aleister Crowley’s Gnostic Catholic Mass is performed regularly in all OTO lodges). One can certainly see how all of these occult organizations are sinously intertwined and interconnected. Other interesting venues of note include the Esalen Institute in Big Sur and the associated Vedanta Society of Southern California (headquarted in Hollywood with subcenters in Pasadena, Santa Barbara, San Diego, and Trabuco Canyon). (Another prominent occult landmark, as we learn from Wikipedia, was also established in San Francisco: “The Church of Satan was established at the Black House in San Francisco, California, on Walpurgisnacht, April 30, 1966, by Anton Szandor LaVey.”) (The Black Rock Burning Man Fest’s May Day counterpart is the How Weird Street Faire held annually May 1st in San Francisco California whose themes include mythical realms, magic, aliens and UFOs. According to the website http://howweird.org/mythical-realms/: “New this year…We are also introducing an official flying saucer landing zone, adjacent to the center intersection. We have invited all planets to join us in a celebration of universal peace. The landing zone coordinates are 37°47’10.88″N, 122°23’53.50″W.”)

As previously noted, the Bohemian Grove membership list reads as a ‘Who’s Who’ of American Political, Cultural, Financial and 166

Defense interests. They are truly the Masters of the Universe. In fact, every Republican president since Herbert Hoover in 1933 A.D. has been an attendee of the Bohemian Grove. Past attendees of the annual Bohemian Grove festivities include ex-Republican Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon (Council on Foreign Relations [CFR] member), Gerald Ford (CFR member), Ronald W. Reagan (Reagan’s Vice-President George H. W. Bush was a CFR member; had the Reagan assassination attempt been successful, Bush would have become president as a matter of succession), George H. W. Bush (Skull and Bones member/CFR member) and George W. Bush (Skull and Bones member;; Bush’s Vice-President Dick Cheney was a CFR member), these being the majority of the group known as the Eight Kings of Revelations (See Revelations 17:10-11. For more details, see Hidden Truths: The History of the World from Beginning to End pp.111-112. The Eighth King, a republican president, will as prophesized in Daniel 11:38: “honor the god of fortresses” who is of course the god of war Azazel. Likely this president is a prior Bohemian Grove attendee). Other prominent members of the Bohemian Club/Bohemian Grove attendees include James Baker (CFR member and Chief of Staff under two successive Republican administrations, Reagan and Bush I), Barry Goldwater (the Republican Party’s nominee for president in the 1964 election), Henry Kissinger (CFR member and Secretary of State under the Nixon and Ford presidential administrations), George P. Shultz (Secretary of State under the Reagan presidential administration), Donald Rumsfeld (Nixon cabinet member, Secretary of Defense under the Ford and Bush II presidential administrations), Caspar Weinberger (Secretary of Defense under the Reagan presidential administration), William Howard Taft (27th President of the United States; Skull and Bones member), Jimmy Carter (39th President of the United States; prominent Middle East peace negotiator/CFR member) and Chester William Nimitz (5-Star U.S. Navy Admiral). Another Bohemian Club member of note is Yale University Skull and Bones secret society member William F. Buckley Jr., CFR member and personal friend of Bohemian Club member and former Governor of California, Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, whose Vice President was Bohemian Grove/Skull and Bones/CFR member George H. W. Bush, who succeeded Ronald Reagan as president.

Members of the City Club, the administrators of the Bohemian Grove, is a moniker under which these Bohos/Grovers are alternatively known, and boast that the Manhattan Project, America’s covert project to develop the atomic bomb, was conceived at the Bohemian Grove in 1942 A.D. In fact, a man named Robert Gordon Sproul: “Robert Gordon Sproul (May 22, 1891 – September 10 1975) was eleventh President of the University of California (Berkeley) serving from 1930 to 1958…Sproul was a member of the Bohemian Club, and sponsored Ernest Lawrence's (Bohemian Club) membership in 1932…” – Wikipedia. “Robert Gordon Sproul was a member of the Bohemian Club, and he sponsored (Ernest) Lawrence's membership in 1932.

Through this club, Lawrence met William Henry Crocker (“His nephew, Harry Crocker, was a movie star in the 1920s and, at one time, the personal assistant of [silent movie era actor] Charlie Chaplin.” - Wikipedia), Edwin Pauley (“Several of his deals involved Zapata Corporation, run by [CIA agent] George H. W. Bush, including a joint-venture with Pemargo in 1960. In 1958 he founded Pauley Petroleum which, with Howard Hughes, expanded oil production in the Gulf of Mexico…He was a friend and confidante of U.S. Senator Harry S. Truman, and through Truman's influence, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Pauley as Petroleum Coordinator of LendLease Supplies for the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom in 1941.” – Wikipedia), and John Francis Neylan. They were influential men who helped him obtain money for his energetic nuclear particle investigations…” - Wikipedia. “Ernest Orlando Lawrence (August 8, 1901 – August 27, 1958) was an American physicist and Nobel Laureate, known for his invention, utilization, and improvement of the cyclotron atom-smasher beginning in 1929, based on his studies of the works of Rolf Widerøe, and his later work in uranium-isotope separation for the Manhattan Project. Lawrence had a long career at the University of California, Berkeley, where he became a Professor of Physics.” - Wikipedia. The Bible refers to nuclear weaponry as “wickedness.” Interestingly enough, during World War II, the covert American-led allied effort to seize Nazi nuclear secrets and scientists was code-named the Alsos Mission. ‘Alsos’ is the Greek word for a grove of trees. As per its name, this mission likely did have its genesis at the Bohemian Grove, as is their boast, “weaving spiders” excluded or not. In fact, the Bohemian Grovers reference to “weaving spiders” is taken from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The major “mythological” characters in this book are a god and 168

goddess and various characters who represent Azazel, his human wife, and Azazel’s group of rebellious angelic comrades, and is replete with tales of magic. By definition, Midsummer Day is July 21, a date suspiciously close to the date of Azazel’s future release on the 19th of July in 2016 A.D. Indeed, in reference to the expected release of these angels, the ceremonial magician/ritualist at the Bohemian Grove proclaims: “Midsummer sets us free,” speaking for Azazel’s group of fallen angels of course, who are at this time in 2016 A.D. liberated from their earthen imprisonment. Bohemian Grove magic ceremonies invoke these rebellious fallen angels, invoking the angel Azazel as the ‘spirit of Bohemia,’ the word ‘Bohemia’ being a cognate of the word ‘Behemoth,’ the name of Azazel’s cherub. The Bohemian Grove is dedicated to him. The god of magic Azazel was often historically worshipped in groves by practitioners of magic.

The Cremation of Care Ceremony (whose ritualist burns in effigy a figure which it calls “Dull Care”) held annually at the Bohemian Grove is by definition a magic “banishing” ceremony. This is the Boho’s version of the Egyptian annual rite called the “Banishing of Apep” (in magic systems, banishing rituals go hand in hand with the invocation/evocation of spirits/fallen angels/demons). In regards to the serpent characterization of the angel Azazel, he is represented in the Egyptian stories of Apep (in Greek, Apophis), who was the great serpent believed to be imprisoned and still living entrapped within the underworld. During an annual Egyptian black magic ceremony called the “Banishing of Apep,” Egyptian priests built an effigy of the serpent Apep and burned it in order to protect the populace from his influences. The Bohemian Grove Cremation of Care magic ceremony has its roots in this practice (the term “dull care” is taken from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam [c. 1123 A.D.], a mystical poem by a master of comparative religions and of the esoteric teachings found therein. Stanza 299 relates: “Cast off dull care, O melancholy brother!” while Stanza 198 speaks of “care’s serpent eye” (and also “Rich men, who take to drink, the world defy,” they being as it were, above the law). Serpents are a common motif representing the angel Azazel and are also a common symbol of a cherub. It must be noted at this point that a serpent, which is a symbol of Azazel, is employed as the Bohemian Club logo). Hence the Cremation of Care ceremony is akin to the ceremonies which ritually burn Azazel in effigy, the object being to banish him after previously invoking him. End of magic 169

ceremony!

According to Alan Baker in Invisible Eagle: The History of Nazi Occultism: “It is an assumption of many occultists that The Coming Race is fact disguised as fiction: that Bulwer-Lytton based his engaging novel on a genuine body of esoteric knowledge. He was greatly interested in the Rosicrucians, the powerful occult society which arose in the sixteenth century and which claimed to possess ancient wisdom…Some writers, including Alec Maclellan, author of the fascinating book The Lost World of Agharti (1996 A.D.), have suggested that The Coming Race revealed too much of the subterranean world (wherein Azazel is entrapped), and was as a result suppressed in the years following Bulwer-Lytton's death in 1873.

Indeed, he describes the book as ‘one of the hardest to find of all books of mysticism,’ and informs us of his own search for a copy, which for some years met with no success.” Of an interesting note, Annie Besant (in Adyar Pamphlet No. 30 entitled Communication between Different Worlds) calls the Theosophical Society “the nucleus of the Coming Race.”

The English author, playwrite and British Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a friend of Eliphas Levi, the French occult writer and ceremonial magician, who also associated with Bulwer-Lytton’s father. In fact, hints of a plan for (and I quote) “the formation of a kind of club or ‘school of magic’ can be found in Letter No. 28 (received 1881 A.D.) of The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (described therein as “a ‘hotbed of magick.’” A.P. Sinnett would later serve as Theosophical Society president) and yourself” (‘yourself’ being none other than Allan Octavian (A.O.) Hume, 1829 – 1912 A.D; Hume was one of the founders of the Indian National Congress, the political party that was later to take the lead in the Indian independence movement under the groomed University of London graduate and member of Theosophical Society Adyar Mahatma Ghandi who assumed leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921 A.D. H.P. Blavatsky was a regular visitor at Hume’s Rothney castle at Simla in India). This letter informs us: “The greatest as well as most promising of such schools (of magic) in Europe, the last attempt in this direction, — failed most signally some 20 years ago in London. It was the secret school for the practical teaching of magick, founded under the name of a club, by a dozen of enthusiasts under the leadership of Lord Lytton’s father (in number similar to a witch’s coven, a magic priesthood of sorts). He had 170

collected together for the purpose, the most ardent and enterprising as well as some of the most advanced scholars in mesmerism and ‘ceremonial magick,’ such as Eliphas Levi, Regazzoni, and the Kopt Zergvan-Bey. And yet in the pestilent London atmosphere the ‘Club’ came to an untimely end” (such a magic school it should be remembered [the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry] is the setting of the Harry Potter© series of stories, based on a long tradition of magic practices, and not simply itself the imaginative creation of a motherly British author of seemingly innocuous children’s books [early indoctrination for the furtherance of any cause has long been a tactic since time immemorial]. Such was also the case with BulwerLytton’s stories. Institutions of higher-learning such as Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England were originally established for the study of occult sciences rooted in magic practices. Over the centuries other such schools existed such as Lorenzo de Medici’s Platonic Academy of the Renaissance era, a reformulation of Plato’s original Academy also devoted to the study of magic, Cambridge University educated astrologer William Gilbert’s (1544-1603 A.D.) magic “school at which would be taught ‘Astrology and Spirit with the nature and use of Talismans’” of an entirely magic nature, and also, as we learn, “Francis Barrett’s The Magus (1801)…was used as the text book of the school of ritual magic and alchemy which the author established in Marylebone” [Marylebone is an inner-city of central London, England] [See p. 21 Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D.]). There also existed the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia devoted to the study as well as implementation of magic ceremonial practices, with all of these hailing back to the colleges of Rome and its empire of which England was at one time a part). Perhaps the ultimate creation of such a ‘school of magick’ as envisioned and formulated by A.P. Sinnett as set forth in Letter No. 28 resulted in the creation of the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia as well as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as Eliphas Levi was also an associate of the President of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society in England, Anna Kingsford. Kingsford later left this lodge and formed the Hermetic Society (Hermetic Societies/Hermetic Orders are based on the writings of Hermes Trismegistus [known as the Corpus Hermeticum], a god who represented none other than the angel Azazel himself, the writings of which profess the existence of Azazel and his group of angels and how they may be contacted). The 171

Hermetic Society of Anna Kingsford was known for giving lectures, featuring as lecturers the likes of the occultist S. L. MacGregor Mathers and the ceremonial magician Dr. William Wynn Westcott.

Wescott, a student of Kabbala (who particularly adhered to the Enochian magic system of Dr. John Dee), in addition to being a Master Mason, was Supreme Magus of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (the SRIA; a Rosicrucian Society in England. His day job was actually as Queen’s Coroner for North-East London). Mathers, likewise a Master Mason, gained admittance to the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (also a ‘school of magic’ of sorts to which only Master Masons were admitted), eventually being appointed Junior Substitute Magus. William Wynn Wescott, with S. L. MacGregor Mathers, founded the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the most celebrated member of which was the English ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley, patron of the British Museum (as was fellow Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member S. L. MacGregor Mathers, Theosophical Society member Mahatma Ghandi and Theosophical Society president Annie Besant) and propounder of the esoteric writings found therein, including of course, The Book of Enoch, which tells the story of Azazel and his angels.

The Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia was itself modelled after Rosicrucian societies in Germany (the ‘Fratres of the Golden and Rosy Cross’), such as the German Vril Society, founded in Berlin, as must again be noted, by a group of German Rosicrucians, which would later become the inner circle of the Thule Society: “Briefly, the creed of the Thule society inner circle is as follows: Thule was a legendary island in the far north, similar to Atlantis, supposedly the center of a lost, high-level civilization. But not all secrets of that civilization had been completely wiped out. Those that remained were being guarded by ancient, highly intelligent beings (similar to the ‘Masters’ of Theosophy or the White Brotherhood) [‘identical to’ would be a better term]. The truly initiated could establish contact with these beings by means of magic-mystical rituals.

The ‘Masters’ or ‘Ancients’ allegedly would be able to endow the initiated with supernatural strength and energy. With the help of these energies the goal of the initiated was to create a race of Supermen of ‘Aryan’ stock who would exterminate all ‘inferior’ races.” - The Unknown Hitler (Wulf Schwartzwaller)

172

The Theosophic-beliefed Vril Society (by definition a Hermetic Society/Order) was the first German nationalist group to use the symbol of the swastika as an emblem. This was derived from the Theosophical Society Seal which likewise employs a swastika within its emblem). The Thule Society was the organization that sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (The German Workers [Labour] Party) which was later transformed by Adolf Hitler into the Nazi Party. In fact Azazel and his angels are the German Nazi “underground supermen” [also known as the ‘Unknown Supermen’] said to live beneath the Earth’s surface of whom the Rosicrucian author Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote, and from whom, Hitler professed, he took his marching orders. It must be noted Thule is a Greek word which translates as 'isle of the four Masters,' in reference to the place where Azazel, along with his three angelic companions, lie entrapped within the earth, the place being located as it is between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which area Arabs call ‘The Island.’ Hitler’s ultimate goal was to free these angels. Hitler also claimed to be in communication with them. And Hitler, it is said, was an Adept of Black Magic, while members of Hitler’s feared secret police, the SS (Schutzstaffel), like Hitler himself, were practitioners of black magick and students of the occult. Azazel and his group exerted their influence upon the mind as well as the actions of Adolf Hitler, Hitler being a marionette of sorts. Indeed, The Dawn of Magic (by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier; Bergier himself was a survivor of the Mauthausen Nazi concentration camp) states: “When Arthur Machen speaks of the World of Evil, ‘full of caverns and crepuscular beings dwelling therein,’ he is referring, as an adept of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, to that other world in which man comes into contact with the ‘Unknown Supermen.’ It seems certain that Hitler shared this belief, and even claimed to have been in touch with these ‘Supermen.’” End quote. The Unknown Supermen of which he speaks and with whom Hitler was in contact is none other than Azazel and his group of fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth.

Amazingly enough, “…with the coming of Nazism it was the "other world" which ruled over us for a number of years…” - The Dawn of Magic (Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier, 1960 A.D.). By “other world” they mean the angel Azazel and the angels entrapped along with him in the Egyptian Amenta. Azazel controlled Germany through his control of Hitler (Hitler under the control of Azazel commenced to slaughtering some 6 million members of Jewish descent. The magic pact which Hitler 173

made with Azazel [the so-called ‘King of the World’] with the aid of Haushofer in 1928 A.D. “with whom he communicated through electronic transmitters and an unusual game involving a tarot pack” is mentioned on p.35 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman. The practitioners of magic amongst the radical left during the 1960s era in America following the release of Pauwells and Bergiers book would later follow Hitlers lead in their attempts at contacting Azazel [Ibid p.36]). It must be mentioned the Welsh author and mystic Arthur Machen was a friend of A. E. Waite and, like Waite, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Waite translated fellow Golden Dawn member Eliphas Levi’s Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie [Dogma and Ritual of High Magic,1896 A.D.] into English under the title Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual,1910 A.D.).

Azazel and his angels are also the German Nazi “underground supermen,” creators (fathers) of the Aryan race which were said to live (or more precisely, are entrapped) beneath the Earth’s surface. Hitler’s ultimate goal was to free them (this group of rebellious angels has a long history of influencing human affairs. According to an October 26, 2007 article by Peter Tremblay on The Canadian website, Adolf Hitler’s: “chair press officer, Dr. Dietrich testified his belief that Hitler was possessed by demons.” Apparently, “Hitler told his High Command, his belief in the Superman (Azazel) who had ruled the planet in the times of Atlantis and Thule, and after the war of the gods (after the rebellion of the angels) that led to the fall of Atlantis the Superman (the incarnate angel Azazel), who were the Masters of the World, had gone underground.” Hitler said he "took his orders for the Nazi conquest from the Superman (from Azazel!) who lived inside the Earth.” (Author’s Note: Thule is a Greek word which translates as 'isle of the four Masters,' in reference to the place where Azazel, along with his three angelic companions, lies entrapped within the earth. Arabs call this area ‘The Island,’ it being located as it is between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. This concept originated with the Egyptians.

In Egypt, the four angels who are entrapped within Azazel’s cherub are known as the Four Genii of the Amenthes (of Hades). The Thule Society was so-named in reverence to the angel Azazel. The angels, hailing from the New Earth, are by definition extraterrestrials)

Adolf 174

When Adolf Hitler spread his message of hatred, genocide, and oppression, as having been "inspired" by a blond race of superhuman warriors referred to as "Aryans", it is assumed through historical accounts that this was simply the contrived mythology of a "madman." These same accounts omit representation that Adolf Hilter was a member of demonic UFO cult worshipping cabals, and was an apparent UFO contactee, by the same Extraterrestrial group which Hilter sought to glorify. "The Nazis themselves claimed that an extraterrestrial society was the source of their ideology and the power behind their organization." Nazi mysticism, indeed, was reportedly a direct product of cult worship to Manipulative Extraterrestrials.

The "Nazis referred to their hidden extraterrestrial masters as underground “supermen.” Hitler believed in the “supermen” and claimed that he had once met one of them, as did other members of the Thule leadership."

The Nazis said that their “supermen” resided beneath the Earth’s surface and were the creators of "the Aryan race". Aryans therefore in Adolf Hitler's reasoning, constituted the world’s only “pure” race and all other people were viewed as "inferior genetic mutations". The Nazis under the reported guidance of Manipulative Extraterrestrials planned to “re-purify” humanity by committing genocide against anyone who was not an Aryan. Top Nazi leaders believed that the underground “supermen” would return to the surface of the Earth to rule it as soon as the Nazis began their racial purification program and established the Thousand Year Reich.

These Nazi beliefs are very similar to other religions apparently also guided by Manipulative Extraterrestrials that teach people to prepare for the future return of supernatural beings who will reign over a "Utopian Earth". As in other such religions, the coming of the Nazi “supermen” would coincide with a great final “divine judgment.” Nazi mysticism indeed earned the support of Christian leaders, who shared what Gnostics referred to as influence by demonic consciousness linked to a "false God".

Critical historical accounts have linked Adolf Hitler, and other high ranking Nazis as having communicated with self-anointed "Nordic gods" who were a part constituency of Manipulative Extraterrestrials which to Gnostics disciples of Jesus were identified as "demons." This is where the "National Socialist" image of the ideal man/woman and the program of eugenics apparently originated.

Adolf Hilter was apparently ordered to infiltrate the National Socialist German Workers Party; in order to counter anti-military sentiments of the defeated working class, into a populist movement which in turn would worship the demonic consciousnesses of Manipulative Extraterrestrials.

Though he lost the war, eventually, Manipulative Extraterrestrials apparently communicated with Nazis that "those chosen by Satan will follow with success in establishing a "Fourth Reich." "Four" is the number of Satan/Enki. Hitler saw the ideal human in Satan and his demons who are of the extra-terrestrial race who looked like human beings with very tall statures, light blonde hair and blue

175

eyes."

Nazi technology is also alleged to have been disseminated under guidance by Manipulative Extraterrestrials. "...the Nazis had everything before any other country, they had radar in 1933, they had infra-red sensors, heavy water, etc., etc. We have been told lie after lie in terms of who invented these things. If anyone in the world had access to 'alien' technology it was the... 'Aryans' [Nazis]."

An eye opening article indeed! Additionally, it must be noted, Hermann Oberth, a trance medium, worked with channel mediums and claimed to have received channeled information from extraterrestrials (no doubt these ‘extraterrestrials’ were the rebellious fallen angels who hail from a planet known in The Bible as the New Earth). Amazingly enough, Hermann Oberth, who is called the Father of Nazi Rocketry, professed to being “helped by people from other worlds.” All these men were in contact with and being influenced by the incarnate fallen angels!

In fact: “During the 1950s and 1960s, Oberth offered his opinions regarding unidentified flying objects (UFOs). He was a supporter of the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the origin of the UFOs that were seen at the Earth. For example, in an article in The American Weekly magazine of October 24, 1954 A.D., Oberth stated, “It is my thesis that flying saucers are real, and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our earth for centuries...” … Oberth eventually came to work for his former student, Wernher von Braun, who was developing space rockets for NASA in Huntsville, Alabama.” – Wikipedia: Hermann Oberth.

Indeed: “…after World War II many (German rocket) technicians left Germany to pursue further rocket projects in the U.S. The majority had been involved with the V-2 (rocket) in Peenemünde (the Peenemünde Army Research Center in Nazi Germany), and 127 of them eventually entered the U.S. through (the Office of Strategic Services’) Operation Paperclip (under order of President Harry Truman). They were also known as the (Wernher) Von Braun Group.”

– Wikipedia: List of German rocket scientists in the United States.

Amongst this group of Nazi rocket scientists was Hermann Oberth.

No doubt they shared their magick experiences with their new 176

American NASA comrades, for interestingly enough we learn: “In 1918 in New York City, occultist and British spy Aleister Crowley conducted a ritual he called the “Amalantrah Working” (working, as defined as a magic ceremony/ritual, from Theurgy, meaning, ‘divineworking,’ involving ceremonial magic practices. The Amalantrah Working** consisted of a series of communications Aleister Crowley received from January - March of 1918 A.D through one of his “Scarlet Women” who acted as “Channels” (a Spiritualist medium) for otherworldly transmissions of angelic/demonic origin) intended to create a ‘magick portal’ - a dimensional rift - through which certain intelligences (spirits) would be invited to cross and manifest themselves in the world…In 1946 in New Mexico, Jack Parsons and L Ron Hubbard conducted a (black magick) ritual they called the “Babalon Working,”** to reopen the portal (Hubbard, incidently, lived with Parsons [who was at all times in contact with Aleister Crowley] in his Pasadena home which doubled as an OTO Lodge). Parsons was a rocket scientist, co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and ‘true father of US space exploration,’ according to Werner von Braun…Hubbard, the future founder of the Church of Scientology, was an officer of US Naval Intelligence. Both (Parsons and Hubbard) were adepts of the Ordo Templi Orientis (the OTO in Pasadena/Altadena), which was originally an ‘Illumined’ (which is to say, an Illuminati) high Masonic order, and led at the time by (Aleister) Crowley (Crowley was a Freemason of the highest-order.

Such high-degree Masons are notorious practitioners of magic/invokers of fallen angels, and Crowley was their poster boy).” – The Occult History of the National Security State, February 4, 2005 A.D. by Jeff Wells/Raiders News (**Aleister Crowley encountered an ‘extraterrestrial’ named Lam during his so-called “Amalantrah Working.” Lam is a shortened form of ‘Lamia,’ meaning ‘snake,’ in deference to the Genesis serpent Azazel [Lamaism also derives its name thereby, it being a system of magic involving the invocation of the Genesis serpent Azazel]. The Lam with whom Crowley was in contact was the fallen angel Azazel. You may also know the extraterrestrial fallen angel Azazel with whom Crowley was in contact as Aiwaz (alternatively spelled Aiwass), also called Carpocrates (Ra-Hoor-Khuit) and Horus (and also known as the Egyptian snake-god Set [Crowley invoked his “Guardian angel” Set under the name Aiwass]. According to Albert Churchward in The Origin and Evolution of Religion p.189, Set was “the fallen leader of the angelic host…worshipped by the Yezidi in Mesopotamia.”). Crowley identified Aiwaz as being the equivalent of the ‘devil’ of the Yezidi: “Aiwaz is not a mere formula, like many Angelic names, but it is the true, most ancient name of the God of the Yezidi (of Melek Tawus, who is Azazel), and thus returns to the highest antiquity. Our work is therefore historically authentic;; the rediscovery of the Sumerian tradition.” And Aiwaz, it is said, was the Chief of the Hidden Masters. The Sumerian tradition as encapsulated in the rituals of the Yezidi and ‘rediscovered’ by Crowley was none other than the cultus surrounding the worship of the fallen angel Azazel. It was Aiwaz/Azazel who dictated that bedrock of Crowleyism

177

known as The Book of the Law to Aleister Crowley himself through a process known as automatic-writing. As Grant cryptically explains: “…the next phase in the advancement of evolution on this planet…will be achieved with a willed congress with extra-terrestrial entities of which, in a sense, Aiwaz (Azazel) is the immediate messenger to humanity. According to Crowley, Aiwaz (Azazel) is ‘a messenger from the forces ruling this planet at present,’ forces ‘of a kind superior to any of the human race.’ Aiwaz (Azazel) is therefore the type of extraterrestrial Intelligence such as we may expect to come into conscious contanct with…”) (**Notable quote: "The [Babalon] Working began in 1945-46, a few months before Crowley's death in 1947, and just prior to the wave of unexplained aerial phenomena now recalled as the 'Great Flying Saucer Flap' (of July, 1947 A.D.)... Parsons opened a door and something flew in. A Gateway for the Great Old Ones has already been established—and opened—by members of the O.T.O. who are in rapport with this entity [Lam, an extra-terrestrial being whom Crowley supposedly contacted while in America in 1919]." - Kenneth Grant, O.T.O)

To quote Crowley-chronicler and former head of the OTO in England Kenneth Grant from Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God (1974 A.D.): “Crowley was aware of the possibility of opening the spatial gateways and of admitting an extraterrestrial current in the human lifewave...It is an occult tradition — and (H.P.) Lovecraft gave it persistent utterance in his writings — that some transfinite and superhuman power is marshaling its forces with intent to invade and take possession of this planet...This is reminiscent of Charles Fort’s dark hints about a secret society on earth already in contact with cosmic beings and, perhaps, preparing the way for their advent (he refers of course to p.286 of Charles Fort’s The Book of the Damned where Fort writes of “another world that may be in secret communication with certain esoteric ones of this earth’s inhabitants…”). Crowley dispels the aura of evil with which these authors (Lovecraft and Fort) invest the fact; he prefers to interpret it thelemically, not as an attack upon human consciousness from within, to embrace other stars and to absorb their energies into a system that is thereby enriched and rendered truly cosmic by the process...” And God will fill hell with all who embrace them.

Theurgy as defined as a ‘divine-working’ involving ceremonial magic practices was espoused by the English mystic William Law: “Now magic power meaneth nothing but the working of the will, whether it be the divine, or the creaturely will; and everything that is the work of the will, and is produced by it, is called its magic work, which only means, that it is generated by and from the will, as a birth brought forth by it. The will is the workman, and the work is that, which it bringeth forth out of itself. So that by these words you are always to understand these two things, the working, and the work 178

of the will. And now, you may already sufficiently see, that their meaning is not only innocent and good, but as necessarily, and divinely, to be ascribed to God, as the power of bringing things into existence by the working of his will. For here you have the true ground and original of the creating power of God; how everything that is not God; is yet come from him, and out of him, as so many births of his invisible power, breaking forth into visibility, and sensible qualities of an outward life.” - The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 2-86 (William Law, 1752 A.D.). William Law was influenced by Jacob Boehme; Law translated into English The Way to Christ by German mystic Jacob Boehme.

From the writings of William Law one might ultimately perceive the fount from which flows the idea that the “great principle of Western Magic is the belief that the properly trained human will is, quite literally, capable of anything…The motivating power, then, in all magical operations (called ‘workings’), is the trained will of the magician. All the adjuncts of Ceremonial Magic (Theurgy)—lights, colours, circles, triangles, perfumes—are merely aids to concentrating the will of the magician into a blazing stream of pure (creative) energy.” - Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D. (Visualization techniques and power of positive thinking/self affirmation strategies all have grown out of the ancient basic premise of the creative properties of the trained magician’s will.

These include Norman Vincent Peale’s Power of Positve Thinking, Silva Mind Control, psychiatry in general, Yogic mind excercises, etc.)

As Aleister Crowley in a like way explains: “Now what is Magick? Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the Will.” - Eight Lectures on Yoga (Aleister Crowley, 1939 A.D.)

“Would you know now the true ground of all this (Law speaks of the rationale behind theurgic magic practices)? It is this: it is because will is the first original of all power, and the omnipotence of God consisteth in nothing else but his working will; and therefore no power ever was, or ever can be, anywhere else, but as it is in God, and if the creature hath any power, it must have it, as God hath it, in the working will. For since all nature, with all its qualities, births, and creatures, are all brought into being by the working will of God; it evidently follows, that every creature, with every quality, power, and property in it, is magically born, and therefore must have a magic nature, that is, a 179

nature that cometh from, and standeth in, a working will.” -

The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 2-29 (William Law, 1752 A.D.) (Law also writes: “…wrath, hatred, pride, envy, malice, and every enmity to light and love, are the one only life of the fallen angel; and he can will and act nothing else, but as these properties of darkness and fire drive him.” - The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 1-83)

“For nothing is effected by fiction and invention, by any contrived arts or searchings of rational inquiries; all this is nothing, because it toucheth not nature, but leaveth it to itself; which carrieth on its own works by its own power, and can only work in its own way; and must bring forth its own births independent of everything but its own working life. But all lieth in the will and working desire of the soul, because will began and brought forth all that nature that lives in the soul, and is the only life in it; and this life can work and grow from nothing else, but that which first brought it forth. Hence you see the full meaning of these words of our author, “All is magical and that magic is the mother of all things,” and consequently, the only opener of all divine knowledge. All which expressions only imply thus much, that the will, whether in God, or the creature, is the ground and seed of everything; is the generating working power, which maketh and worketh all things to be in that state and condition which they are; and that everything begins, goes on, and ends, in the working of the will; and that nothing can be otherwise, than as its will worketh; and therefore eternity and time is magical; and magic is, and must be, the mother of all things.” - The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 2-93 by William Law, 1752 A.D.) (However, the working of the will comes with this caveat, which has been much perverted: “And thus you see the possibility, the truth, and the manner of the thing;; how his (Adam’s) heavenly body was taken out of the earth at his creation, set in freedom from it, and in a living superiority over it; how, at the fall, it was swallowed up, or compacted again in its own first earth; viz. the earthly body, or materiality of Adam: for as it was not separated from this earthly materiality, but only brought to life in it, and superiority over it; so when the divine light, which was the life of this body, was lost, it then fell again into a state of death in that gross materiality, under which it lay before. And thus, in the strictest truth, the body of Adam returned again to that very earth, or dust, from whence it was taken. Now, when this happened, the fallen angels entered again into some power in their lost kingdom. There was then something found, with which they could work, and join their own power. For as the soul of man had lost the light and Spirit of heaven, so the same dark center of nature, or the three first wrathful properties, were opened in it, as are opened in the fallen angels. And thus they got entrance into the awakened hell in man, and can work in it. For as often as man stirred, followed, or worked with his will according to these properties, the devil could enter into, and work with him (Overshadowing, commonly called spirit/demon possession); and so the first son (Cain) of fallen man was made a murderer. And hence it is, that sin and wickedness have known no bounds; it is because it is the joint work of fallen angels, and fallen man. Stay a while, sir, in view of these truths: here you see the seat and ground, the birth and growth of all

180

sin and evil; it lies in these three dark, selfish, self-willed, wrathful, hellish properties of the fallen soul. This is the dark center of nature, in which the devils have all their own power in themselves, and all their power in you; and till you resist this hell within you, till you live in contrariety to it, the devils will not flee from you (See James 4:7). Here also you see, in a selfevident light, the deep ground, and absolute necessity, of that one redemption, which is called, and is, the meekness and heavenly blood of the Lamb of God. For these words in their true ground mean only the changing of the three first dark wrathful properties of fallen nature, into the three last properties of the heavenly life, light, and love, which is the life of God restored to the soul, or the light, Spirit, or Word of God born again in it. Let me only add this one word; turn from wrath of every kind, as you would flee from the most horrid devil; for it is his, it is he, and his strength in you. Whether you look at rage and anger in a tempest, a beast, or a man, it is but one and the same thing, from one and the same cause; and therefore your own wrath is to be turned from, as the same with that of hell; and which has its birth and strength from that hell or center of nature, which the fall of angels hath made known; and which only worketh thus differently, whether it be in a man, a beast, or the elements of this world. And this must be, till the center of nature is again in its place of hiddenness, by being wholly overcome by heaven. Embrace therefore every meekness of love and humility with the same eagerness as you would fall down at the feet of Jesus Christ; for it is his, it is he, and his power of salvation in you. Enter into no strife, or self-defense against anyone, that either reproaches you, or your doctrine; but remember, that if you are to join with Christ in doing good, your sword of natural wrath must be locked up in its own sheath; no weapons of the flesh are to be used; but you must work only in the meekness, the sweetness, the humility, the love and patience of the Lamb of God; who, as such, is the only doer of good, the only overcomer of wrath, and the one redemption of fallen nature. If you are reproached as an enthusiast, do not take comfort in thinking, that it is the truth of your own piety, or the want of it in others, that gives occasion to the charge; for though both of these should happen to be the case, yet they are not proper reflections for you; and if you take your peace from them, it is not the peace of God in you: but as in good report, you are to be as though you heard it not, ascribe nothing to yourself from it; so in evil report, self is just as much to be forgotten; and both of them are to be used, only as an occasion to generate humility, meekness, love, and the Spirit of the Lamb of God, both in yourself, and all that speak either well or ill of you. For this is the will and working of heaven; it has but one will, and one work; and that is, to change all the wrath, evil, and disorder of nature, into a kingdom of God. And therefore he that would be a servant of God, and work with heaven, must will all that he willeth, do all that he doth, and bear all that he beareth, in that one Spirit, and one will, with which heaven ruleth over all the earth.” - The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 3-43, 44, 45, 46 by William Law)

Directly associated with Law’s teachings is the offshoot of magical workings involving the alleged psychological willful ‘creation’ of egregores (an egregore by definition is a Watcher/angel) in groupmind (collective thought-form) workings (this is an important concept in Chaos Magic, with ‘chaos’ being defined by its practitioners as the primal creative force, the creative principle behind all magic practices). Such creations include Philip, an ‘egregore’ allegedly created by Toronto Society for Psychical Research members as an experiment in Spiritualist practices by a group of Canadian parapsychologists during the 1970s and the (Tibetan) tulpa creation of famous Spiritualist Alexandra David-Neel (David-Neel’s writings** 181

influenced 1950’s Buddhistic beat-writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, the Buddhist beliefs of British philosopher Alan Watts, and the Buddhist-based belief system of Theosophist Benjamin Creme).

Such a magically created creatures is also known as a tulku: “The word tulku means a form created by magic, and in accordance with that definition, we must consider the tulkus (incarnations of non-human entities) as phantom bodies, occult emanations, puppets constructed by a magician to serve his purpose.” - With Mystics and Magicians in Tibet (Alexandra David-Neel, 1931 A.D.). Gods and demons, it is said, may in this way incarnate. In Lamaism, this is known as a Bodhisatva: “I (Alexandra David-Neel) cannot do better than quote, here, the explanation of tulkus given to me by the Dalai Lama … “A Bodhisatva…is the basis of countless magic forms (called tulkus). By the power generated in a state of perfect concentration of mind he may, at one and the same time show a phantom (a tulpa) of himself in thousands millions of worlds.” Hence, the tulpa creation. This may also explain the Beatnik in your bathroom as well as the dead Tibetan monks in Hitler’s Berlin compound circa 1945 A.D. David-Neel goes on to explain: “The theory sanctioned in these lines by the highest authority of official Lamaism is identical with that expounded in the mahâyânist literature, where it is said that an accomplished Bodhisatva is capable of effecting ten kinds of magic creations. The power of producing magic formations, tulkus or less lasting and materialized tulpas, does not, however, belong exclusively to such mystic exalted beings. Any human, divine or demoniac being may be possessed of it.

The only difference comes from the degree of power, and this depends on the strength of the concentration and the quality of the mind itself.” (** Tibet is the place where is practiced, in the words of Spiritualist/author Madame Alexandra David-Neel herself, “the sorcery of the most famous magicians” with the assistance of Shamanistic mediums (male pawos/female pamos) who “transmit the messages of gods, demons and the dead” to the inhabitants of Tibet. As she explains, during Tibetan Spiritualist séances, a “being of another world, god, demon or spirit of a dead person” takes “possession” of the diviner’s body, speaking through this medium (sometimes by a number of such otherworldly beings in succession). Tibetan Buddhist monks are by definition Spiritualists, and the Dalai Lama is their Spiritual leader (See David-Neel’s book entitled With Mystics and Magicians in Tibet published in 1931 A.D., a book devoted to the magic and Spiritualist practices of Tibet, and the adventures she experienced as she sought them out and in some instances directly participated in them). Alexandra David-Neel, like the philosophers of old, traversed land and sea in her travels to Tibet to learn their magical practices firsthand, to study at the feet of the masters, as it were, At one point during her stay, after she “gratefully accepted the kind offer of the members of the Theosophical Society to rent me a small apartment in their beautiful park,” she attended the annual Ceremony of the Demons as performed by local Tibetan sorcerers who invoked the angel Azazel under the guise of the ‘Destroyer’ Mahäkala, said to be “a harmful spirit…held in slavery by the lamas who compel

182

him to render them various kinds of services.” The Tibetan word for ‘shaman,’ namely, ‘lama,’ (both words are as should be noted similar in construction) is synonymous with the Sankrit word ‘guru.’ You people know not what you mess with, nor understand your latter end. Do not be fooled by mind reading parlor tricks of techno-advanced alien angels. And do not be so naïve to believe they can be in such a way enslaved and controlled. They cooperate at their whim and will be everything to everybody)

Related to this magical creative concept is the golem encountered in Jewish folklore, an animated anthropomorphic being (anthropomorphic from the Greek meaning ‘human form’) said to be created entirely from inanimate matter involving wholly abhorrent magical workings. The rebellious angels known in Arabian folklore as jinn (genii) are also known in Judaism as shedim. Shedim (singular: shedu) are invoked during Jewish Kabbalistic magic ceremonies such as was most famously the golem of Rabbi Yehuda Loevy. Aleister Crowley invoked the shedu Azazel under the guise of Choronzon (‘Choronzon’ means ‘Chaos’), the Dweller in the Abyss. Chaos is by its formal definition an ‘abyss.’ From San Franciscan occultist E. E. Rehmus’ The Magician's Dictionary (E. E. Rehmus, an LSD magician in a completely modern sense, was an important figure in the underground 1960’s hippie counter-cultural revolution who like Aleister Crowley mixed recreational drug use with theurgic magical workings entirely Shamanistic in character) we learn: “Egregores (are) Watchers (a word synonymous with that of the word angel), thoughtform entities** created by visualization, (magic) ritual and such. They come in collective groups. They are somewhat like angels, except that they are relatively mindless and quite willing to follow orders. Some UFOs may be egregores.” The fallen angels, I must say, unlike those in collusion with them (and those hippies who sought to summon them), are anything but mindless. (Such magic-based ‘group-form workings’ was a concept put forth by the Theosophical Society itself, which promulgates theories based on esoteric mysteries with a distinctive Eastern flavor: “We must now say a few words to correct the popular misconception that identifies Occultism with black magic and such black arts as witchcraft and necromancy. It has been explained earlier that the invisible worlds around us are peopled by Elementals and Elementaries, and that these entities are responsible for the great variety of psychic and spiritualistic phenomena. To this we must add the further fact that human thought-forms are animated by such Elementals and maybe by Elementaries. This is true whether the thought-form is produced by one individual or by a group. Where the thought is strongly defined, and especially when it is reinforced by emotion, the mental image thus created may become vivified by an Elemental and thus acquire a measure of independent life.

The collective thought of a group of people, as for example a congregation of worshippers or the audience at a political meeting (or even, say, a rock and roll concert), may create a powerful entity, ensouled by either an Elemental or an Elementary, which will be fed and strengthened by the intensity of the emotion with which it has been charged. It may then be sensed by other members of the group who thus find themselves swept along on a strong

183

current of irresistible and maybe violent emotion which can cause them to behave in ways which, individually, they would repudiate. Similarly, a mediumistic member of the group may be moved to make utterances or deliver messages which appear to come from a power beyond him - as indeed they do, that power being the entity called into existence by the collective thoughts of worshippers or other people present. Power in itself, of whatever kind, is neither good nor evil: it becomes either good or evil according to its use. The difference between white and black magic is that in the former the power is exercised only for beneficent purposes, whereas in the latter it is turned to selfish or even maleficent ends. The karmic consequences to the magician will be in accordance with those purposes and with the benefit or harm to others resulting from the exercise of his powers. In both cases, the effective agents are the Elementals (“…‘elementals’ are akin to the angels” – Studies in Islamic Mysticism), the magician being one who has learnt how to evoke and control them. It is a mistake to think of magic as in any way supernatural, if by that we mean an action brought about in contravention of natural law: in the occult philosophy it is axiomatic that there is nothing outside Nature. In what appear to be miraculous or magical performances, both the white and the black magicians are using - for good or evil – knowledge of their own powers and of the processes of Nature. As stated earlier in this chapter, there is no miracle: Magic, as a science, is the knowledge of the principles [of man and Cosmos], and of the way by which the omniscience and omnipotence of the spirit and its control over nature’s forces may be acquired by the individual while still in the body. Magic, as an art, is the application of this knowledge in practice. [Isis Unveiled -II, 588]” - Deity, Cosmos and Man by Geoffrey Farthing, “Published in the late 1900's”) (The following is another perverted outgrowth of the teachings of William Law: “Because every thought of man upon being evolved passes into the inner world and becomes an active entity by associating itself—coalescing, we might term it—with an elemental; that is to say with one of the semi-intelligent forces of the kingdoms. It survives as an active intelligence, a creature of the mind's begetting, for a longer or shorter period proportionate with the original intensity of the cerebral action which generated it. Thus, a good thought is perpetuated as an active beneficent power; an evil one as a maleficent demon. And so man is continually peopling his current in space with a world of his own, crowded with the offsprings of his fancies, desires, impulses, and passions, a current which reacts upon any sensitive or and nervous organisation which comes in contact with it in proportion to its dynamic intensity. The Buddhist calls this his "Skandha," the Hindu gives it the name of "Karma"; the Adept evolves these shapes consciously, other men throw them off unconsciously.” - FIRST LETTER OF K. H. TO A. O.

The Nazi rocket scientist (ex-Nazi rocket scientist and newly minted American rocket scientist if one prefers) Wernher von Braun was instrumental to the creation of the United States’s Army Ballistic Missile Agency: “The Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) was the agency formed to develop the US Army’s first intermediate range ballistic missile. It was established at Redstone Arsenal on February 1, 1956 and commanded by Major General John B. Medaris with Doctor Wernher von Braun. In March, 1958 the ABMA was placed under the new Army Ordnance Missile Command (AOMC) along with 184

Redstone Arsenal, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (where Jack Parsons was employed and with whom von Braun was in contact), White Sands Proving Ground and the Army Rocket and Guided Missile Agency (ARGMA)…In 1958 ABMA’s scientific and engineering staff, including von Braun and Arthur Rudolph (like von Braun, Rudolph was also a German Nazi rocket scientist), were transferred to the newly created NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)…” – Wikipedia: Army Ballistic Missile Agency (There is a reason why rockets and spacecraft are named after the Greek and Roman gods who represented the fallen angels. And, indeed, such pioneering work using technology introduced by fallen angels themselves led way to the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), ushering in the Cold War nuclear weapons race, which weapons will, in the end, be employed in an attempt to destroy the human race so vilely hated by these angels. They are not your friends; nor do they work in your best interests) (Wernher von Braun has, curiously enough, collaborated with Walt Disney on a number of cinematic projects)

Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph (1906-1996 A.D.) were the developers of the Saturn V rocket used by NASA’s Apollo (including the alleged Apollo 11 first-manned Moon landing on July 20, 1969 A.D.) and Skylab space programs from 1967-1973 A.D. Another individual of note also with a Jet Propulsion Laboratory association is Dr. Frank Drake: “Dr. Frank Donald Drake (born May 28, 1930, Chicago) is an American astronomer and astrophysicist. He is most famous for founding SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) and creating the Drake equation (an equation used to estimate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy) and Arecibo Message (a radio broadcast message aimed at communication with extraterrestrial intelligences)…He is currently involved in “The Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe.” He is Emeritus Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz where he also served as Dean of Natural Sciences (1984–88). He serves on the Board of Trustees of the SETI Institute.” - Wikipedia: Frank Drake Magic, as concerns communication with extraterrestrial fallen angels, it would seem, has entered the scientific mainstream:

185

“Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CETI) is a branch of SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) research that focuses on composing and deciphering messages that could theoretically be understood by another technological civilization. The best-known CETI experiment was the 1974 Arecibo message composed by Frank Drake and Carl Sagan.” – Wikipedia: Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Perhaps the existence of the rebel angels will in the future be disguised as the scientific revelation of the existence of a newfound species of beneficent intelligent life of an entirely alien nature: “We come in peace;; we mean you no harm.” As will the Second Coming of the conquering Jesus be hailed as a malevolent alien invasion!

(A Most Notable Quote “The late General Douglas MacArthur, a man who must have been privy to much secret information, repeatedly made public statements asserting that the next war would be an interplanetary conflict with mankind uniting to combat ‘evil forces’ from some other world” (what MacArthur describes as the “ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy”). – p.281 UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D.) Armageddon, anyone? Gather thy mystical bad selves there.

We shall return to this extraterrestrial/UFO/fallen angel topic at a later time.

Chapter 8. Azazel in Un-Contemporary Popular Culture The story of Azazel and his earthen imprisonment is the source of the Grail legends of Europe. In Liber Samekh Aleister Crowley invokes Azazel’s cherub Behemoth under its Egyptian name Ra, referring to it as “the Sangraal…the cup of Babalon,” which is to say, the Grail cup, which is also known as the Holy Grail. The Egyptian term for the area known as Sumeria, Babylonia and Mesopatamia (from the Greek meaning ‘between the rivers’) was Sngr (rendered Sangara) (compare to Shinar). The word ‘sangraal’ is a cognate of the word ‘sangara’ (compare also to the Sanskrit word ‘Sangha,’ meaning, “assembly of beings” (And moreover, as we learn from Manly P. Hall, the “Sangha...can be defined as an assembly...of celestial beings” (See p. 37 of Meditation Symbols in Eastern and Western Mysticism: Mysteries of the Mandala, 1988 A.D.) as in, an assembly of jinn/fallen angels, as well as being a cognate of ‘Samhain’ (compare to Shambala) which is etymologically similar to the Proto-Celtic *samani, meaning ‘assembly’). Sangara is the place where the sangraal is located (in the land of Shinar, between the ‘two rivers’), the Sangraal, the Holy Grail, deriving its name thereby (related to this is the name of the reddish color sanguine. One of Azazel’s emblems is a Red Cross). It would seem Crowley knew exactly where Azazel’s cherub was located. To Arabs, Sumeria (where Azazel’s cherub lies imprisoned within the earth) is known as “The Island” as it existed between two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates.

A red cross is also often associated with the Holy Grail, the red cross said to have been emblazoned upon the very grail itself, the grail of which we speak, of course, being Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. For this reason the red cross was a symbol of the angel Azazel. All who eagerly search for the grail search for Azazel’s cherub, and with it, the angel Azazel. The Grail Legends themselves symbolize the search for Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, as seekers attempt to locate the site where it lay entrapped within the earth. The term ‘rosi crucis’ (from whence is derived the word ‘Rosicrucian) which is a German term which translates as ‘red cross,’ also by one account means ‘dew cup,’ which is the reason the Holy Grail as we know it today as being cup-like in form was adopted as a symbol of Azazel’s cherub.

A.E. Waite, like Aleister Crowley, was a member of the 187

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, both being members during the same period of time along with S.L. MacGregor Mathers. In the Preface to The Hidden Church of the Holy Graal by A. E. Waite (1909 A.D.), this being an exhaustive study of the Grail Mystery and its history, Waite professes as the goal of his work: “I am about to set forth after a new manner, and chiefly for the use of English mystics (magicians), the nature of the mystery which is enshrined in the old romance-literature of the Holy Graal…at the root it has a direct consanguinity (he uses a play on the word ‘sanguine’/’sangraal,’ a common literary device of the time) with other mysteries,” Mathers himself intimating “the literature of the Graal (the Holy Grail) has its basis in a cycle of legend wherein there is neither a Sacred Vessel nor a Holy Mystery” (as it really has no connection to Jesus Christ whatsoever) such writings representing merely the “appropriation of certain (pagan) myths and legends which are held to be pre-Christian.”

As indeed they are. Waite puts the stories of the Grail Legend into the category of such “writings which bear…the seals of allegory and…allusion.” The allusion to which he speaks was the story of the angel Azazel.

Born in Brooklyn New York, A.E. Waite (October 2, 1857 – May 19, 1942) was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (joined 1891 A.D.) and of the Rosicrucian Society (joined 1902 A.D.), as well as being a member of the Freemasons (joined in 1901 A.D.). As per Wikipedia: “Waite was a prolific author with many of his works being well received in academic circles. He wrote occult texts on subjects including divination, esotericism, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and ceremonial magic, Kabbalism and alchemy; he also translated and reissued several important mystical and alchemical works. His works on the Holy Grail, influenced by his friendship with (fellow member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) Arthur Machen, were particularly notable.” When one considers the presence of a figure of such historically mystical importance, immersing his self in such a field, associating himself with such a legend, one must not underestimate the importance of the subject matter so involved. In the terminology of A.E. Waite, the search for the Sangraal, for Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, is known as the “Mystic Quest” of the “Great Work” (“The Holy Grail, as presented in Malory’s collection of Arthurian legends, appears in the form of a Christian relic, the cup from the Last Supper, brought to England by Joseph of Arimathea.

But the Grail cult is far older than Christianity.” - The Flying Saucer Vision 188

p.178.

As John Michell, author of The Flying Saucer Vision therein adeptly explains, the “Grail” of the Grail legends represents “the flying disc”; the “disc marked with the cross” and other such similar motifs “appears to stand for the god inside the disc, the vessel in which he navigates the air”: “…the memory of the flying discs…can be seen in the central object of British mythology, the cauldron or Grail…Here is another version of the legend of the flying saucer, the vehicle by which the gods with their advanced culture first made themselves known.

The Grail was the sacred vessel…the vehicle by which all benefits first came to men, the flying disc of the gods.” [See pp.171,177 The Flying Saucer Vision]. As one must keep in mind, Ezekiel’s Biblical description of the cherubim of the angels which appeared to him as he stood upon the bank of a river in Babylon was that of a flying ‘wheel’ [See Ezekiel 1:5-21]. Like a wheel, cherubim are circular in shape [disc-shaped]).

In allusion to the story of Azazel, the collective story of King Arthur contains the belief that Arthur is not dead but is in fact one day expected to return along with his band of knights. In this capacity Arthur is known as “Rex Quondam Rexque Futurus,” the “Once and Future King” (See Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur). Some traditions tell of Arthur’s entrapment beneath a mountain, shades of the legend of Hephaistos/Vulcan (gods representing Azazel), where to this day he (like Azazel) resides underground awaiting his messianic return. Indeed, when Azazel is released in 2016 A.D. he is hailed as the long awaited Messiah, King of the Jews.

Chrétien de Troyes’ poem Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart ties King Arthur to Ascension Day (using its esoteric meaning, ‘Ascension’ is defined as the rising of a celestial body, in this case the rising of the star Sirius, an event which marks the time of Azazel’s release), relating how “King Arthur (representing Azazel) had come from Caerleon” (in Wales) on that day, holding a “very magnificent court at Camelot as was fitting on such a day.” To throw more light on the subject we must consider how the word ‘Camelot’ was derived.

Camelot as the residence/house (a cherub is oft symbolized as a house) of King Arthur is a later 12th Century addition to the Arthurian legend.

In the Celtic belief system, the god of war of the Remi tribe was named Camulus/Camulos (a god who represented Azazel). The name Camelot is derived from the name of this god. Indeed, his cult can be 189

traced to Britain. The Camelot of Arthurian legend represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth. The name of the Celtic god Camulos is related to the word ‘Campe,’ Campe being the name of a dragon said to dwell in Tartarus beneath the earth, the dragon being a common Biblical symbol of a cherub. And the Moabite god Chemosh, another god who represented Azazel/Behemoth, was known as Kamus (according to Manly P. Hall: “Hermes (Azazel) seems to have been known as Cadmus” (See p. 189 Meditation Symbols in Eastern and Western Mysticism: Mysteries of the Mandala, 1988 A.D.). Theosophists also call the place where these angels lay entrapped within the earth as Kamaloka.

Compare to Camalot). (Azazel may also be represented by the angel known as Camael (Latin Camael), (also known as Kamuel, Chamuel, Camiel, Camul, Camniel), the leader of the angelic forces said to have expelled Adam from the Garden of Eden. Additionally, Aegean was one of three beings called the Hecatonchires in Greek “mythology.” The Hecatonchires (named after the god Heca/Heka who represented Azazel;; ‘heka’ means ‘magic’) were giants who represented the offspring of Azazel and his human wife. It was said these beings were cast into the depths of Tartarus, where they are guarded by the dragon Campe, which represented Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, within which Azazel dwells, entrapped within the earth. Campe, and similarly the Celtic god of war Camulos (which also represented Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth), is the origin of the legendary location called Camelot, wherein King Arthur, who represents Azazel, was said to dwell. Camelot as the residence of King Arthur (Azazel) represents Behemoth, wherein Azazel dwells in his subterranean abode)

In later times, especially in Christianized pagan locales in Europe including the British isles, pagans were often ‘Christianized’ at the point of a menacing sword (known by its legal name, ‘duress’), and gods were subsequently secularized by being symbolized as kings (indeed the Biblical name of the god Moloch, which represented Azazel, means ‘king’). Azazel is represented in the person of the Welsh Arawn, King of the Otherworld, Annwn. The word ‘Annwn’ means “very deep,” this being a reference to his imprisonment deep beneath the earth. The Cauldron of Annwn (which represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth) was said to be located in this Welsh underworld of Annwn, very deep within the earth. Arawn (Azazel) is depicted as a hunter in the Welsh work named First Branch of the Mabinogi, where he is said to be hunting a stag (Azazel is known as the horned-god, one of whose symbols is the stag). King Arthur is connected to Annwn through a poem called “Preiddeu Annwn” in the Book of Taliesin, where Arthur (Azazel) is said to travel to Annwn “very deep” within the Earth in search of a magic cauldron which symbolically represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth (the cauldron was also known as the Cauldron of Cerridwen. Cerridwen was a Celtic goddess who 190

represented Azazel’s human wife. She is entrapped with Azazel within his cherub Behemoth). This story was later Christianized by pagans into the search for the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail, representing Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, in this way transformed into the search for the holy cup used at the last supper of Jesus (See Luke 22: 1-23).

Azazel is at his release, as we have noted, hailed as the Coming Messiah Jesus, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of the Jews. The Holy Grail does not appear in earlier pagan versions of the Arthurian legend as it does in its later Christianized form. This was but a later edition to an amalgamation of stories compiled by other authors. The legend of King Arthur is an allegorical representation of the story of Azazel and his angels.

Also, as is evidenced in Psalms 149:6, a “two-edged sword” is a symbol for a cherub. Such is the case with King Arthur’s (Azazel’s) magic sword Excalibur. The two-edged sword Excalibur symbolically represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. The fact that Excalibur was said to be lodged within the stone represented the fact that Azazel’s cherub Behemoth is entrapped within the igneous rock within the Earth.

When Excalibur/Behemoth is released from the rock, Arthur/Azazel will rule over men (compare to the story of the god Mithras who is said to have also emerged from a rock. Mithras similarly represents Azazel/Behemoth). And like a brightly lit cherub (such as Azazel’s cherub Behemoth) and the blindness it may inflict upon humans, Excalibur was said to have shone with the light of thirty torches and been able to dazzle the enemy with its brightness, thereby inflicting blindness upon Arthur’s enemies. In the Gilgamesh story, a “torch” is similarly used as being representative of a cherub.

Azazel ascends from within the earth where he is imprisoned on July 19, 2016 A.D. The heliacal rising of the dog star Sirius occurs on this very date. For this reason, any allegorical story including a dog rising on its hind legs in attack mode or even the symbolism invoked by a dog ascending from within the underworld represents the heliacal rising of the dog star Sirius. One need only transform the dog rising on its back legs in attack mode into a lion in such a stance to represent the angel Azazel’s future role of False Prophet/Messiah/Lion of the tribe of Judah. At this time it must be noted, such a lion rising on its hind legs in attack mode, known as a Lion Rampant, is the symbol of British royalty, while the flag of Britain (so named after the goddess Brittania who represented Azazel’s human wife) employs the red cross 191

on white background symbol of the angel Azazel (See Appendix A).

A lion is also in fact a symbol for a cherub, as is epitomized in the Sumerian hymn A Hymn to Nanna (Nanna M): “…he (the god Nanna; a cherub) is a powerful force, a lion, a dragon…” - A Hymn to Nanna (Nanna M). Additionally, it must also be noted, one of the four “faces” of a cherubim is a lion (See Ezekiel 1:10-11). The lion represents Jesus the Messiah (on right side of cherub; See Revelations 5:5). When the Genesis serpent Azazel “returns,” released from his earthen imprisonment, he will claim to be and will be mistaken for Jesus the coming Messiah. This concept is also epitomized by the symbolic Greek Agathodemon, a serpent depicted with the head of a lion. The Greeks themselves imported this concept from the Egyptians whose country they had conquered. The Egyptian counterpart of the Greek Agathodemon is the god Chnoubis.

In this respect Azazel is also the Mithraic Chronos (the word ‘Chronos’ being a cognate of the word ‘Chnoubis.’ Compare both to the word ‘cherub’), depicted as a lion-headed man with wings (Azazel was known for wearing bird’s wings). In this tradition also comes the account of the Hindu daeva Vishnu’s incarnation as a lionheaded man. In Hinduism, Vishnu represented the incarnate angel Azazel. Vishnu’s lion-man incarnation represented the belief that Azazel would be hailed as the long-awaited Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, the Messiah who is to come (Assyrian winged human-headed lions are also representative). Related to this is also the treatment of the Egyptian god Osiris. According to The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVIII, Osiris, who represents Behemoth/Azazel is known as the Lion-god, as was the god Ra, who represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth: “I am Ra. I am the Lion-god.” - Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XV B.D. Chap. LXI. Likewise for this reason in the Crowley Magick system the Lion-Serpent symbolism represents the Genesis serpent Azazel (Aleister Crowley was educated at Oxford University in England). Funny that the symbol of the British royal family, the Lion Rampant, in a country named as it is for a goddess who represents Azazel’s human wife, whose flag contains the ‘red cross’ sigil of Azazel, should have as its family crest the esoteric symbol which represents the once and future king Azazel’s ascension at the time of the rising of Sirius at which time he is hailed as the coming conquering Messiah, the lion of the tribe of Judah (the unicorn on the British Royal Coat of Arms likewise represents Azazel/Behemoth. Horses are common Biblical symbols of cherubim.

192

The unicorn’s horn refers to Azazel’s status as horned-god) (Interestingly enough, the first coat of arms of the British King of England Richard I “The Lionheart” (1189-1198 A.D.) was “two golden lions, combatant, on a red field,” rising on their back legs in attack mode (the Lion Rampant), whereas one of the Egyptian designations for Azazel was “god in the form of two lions, who comest forth from heaven” (See the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXXI. In Plate XXVI Azazel is referred to as “the double Lion-god”).

Richard traveled to the Holy Land during the Third Crusade, learning, as it would seem, the legends concerning the fallen angel Azazel, and likely through magical means had established direct contact with him.

Britain has long had an association with the fallen angel Azazel).

The Norse Valkyries represented the human wives of the fallen angels riding in the cherubim of their angel husbands. They are often depicted riding horses. Horses are a classic symbol of the cherubim of the angels. The most famous of the Valkyries was Brynhilder (German ‘Brunnhilde’), whose name means “Brynie of Battle” (a goddess of war). Her name is a cognate of the Celtic goddess Bride/Bridget. Both represent Azazel’s human wife. Britain is named after her (Brittania, oft depicted with shield and lance (a war goddess), the round shield bearing an ‘X’ the sign of Azazel. Such a shield represents the disc-shaped Behemoth) and the national emblem of Britain is the red cross, the sign of Azazel). Britain is steeped in the legends of the fallen angel Azazel, and the Arthurian legend is no exception. The Knights Templars are also associated with the Holy Grail, even employing the red cross on white background symbolism associated with Azazel.

Hitler once said that to understand him and his mission one must first understand Wagner the German composer (Wagner had taken part in what was known as The May Uprising: “The May Uprising took place in Dresden, Germany in 1849; it was one of the last of the series of events known as the Revolutions of 1848…Wagner…on the government’s wanted list…escaped, to Zürich (in Switzerland, one of the few places where the Revolutions of 1848 was a success), where Wagner remained (no doubt in the company of other co-conspiritors. Switzerland has long played host to a large community of revolutionaries in exile).” – Wikipedia: The May Uprising.

Though allegedly not a Freemason himself, Wagner had many 193

Freemasonic family members and friends, including as brother-in-law Professor Oswald Marbach, one of the most important Freemasonic personalities of his day). Wagner wrote many operatic compositions on the subject of Azazel, his human wife, and the fallen angels and their human wives in their ancient forms as pagan gods and goddesses.

The most famous of these is his opera entitled Die Walkure, which includes the famous Ride of the Valkyries. Wagner also wrote Arthurian operas about King Arthur; King Arthur representing the angel Azazel, Queen Guinevere his human wife. Even Hitler sought the Holy Grail, seeking Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, and was willing to risk a world war and the destruction of Germany to obtain it. Hitler sought to conquer the world: “Early in 1841 Engels wrote the libretto for an opera on the tragedy of Rimzi. This is the story of the fourteenth-century Italian knight who liberates the people and tries to recreate a Roman Empire to conquer the world. Engels's libretto was not published in his lifetime. But Richard Wagner's opera on the same theme, based on Englishman Edward Bulwer-Lytton's cult nove1, The Last of the Tribunes, had its first German performance in 1842 and established Wagner's fame.” – Treason in America 2nd Edition by Anton Chaitkin, 1998 A.D.

In conclusion we may most certainly deduce the Arthurian legend concerns the story of Azazel and the fallen angels.

(Author’s Note: The word ‘Agharti’ seems to be related to the word ‘grail,’ the word ‘Agarta,’ with the word ‘graal,’ and vice-versa)

The Tempest of Shakespeare The British playwright Shakespeare’s The Tempest is somewhat of a veiled mystery play containing all of the common magic devices associated with the story of Azazel, Satan and of the rest of the fallen angels. It is on its surface a story of a shipwreck at sea, its survivors alighting upon an uncharted isle, this possibly being a nod to the writings of Theophilus where he likens “doctrines of error” (which he also calls “heresies”) to barren rocky islands “infested by wild beasts” which serve “only to injure navigators and the stormtossed, on which ships (here analogous of men’s souls) are wrecked.”

(See Theophilus to Autolychus Book II Chapter XIV). It must also be noted in Letter 10.1 (NPNF, 2nd series, Vol. 6, 11), the early church 194

father Jerome likens the great Flood in the time of Noah (at which time Azazel’s cherub was imprisoned within the earth) to a “shipwreck.” In addition to this, as explained by John Chrysostom in Homily I of his Three Homilies Concerning the Power of Demons (where Demons = Fallen Angels) (NPNF1-09), that: “to fall in Paradise is to undergo shipwreck.” But most significantly to our story, to Arabs, Sumeria is known as "The Island" as it existed between two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates. And this is the very area where Azazel and his angels lie entrapped within the Earth, it being The Island where Azazel’s cherub lay shipwrecked by God’s great tempestuous Flood. And upon this Isle of Azazel lie the shipwrecks of the souls of many unfortunate men.

In 3Enoch XIX:3 we learn “The Tempest” is a name synonymous with that of a cherub, as is additionally exemplified in Isaiah 29:5-6, Isaiah 30:30-33, Psalms 50:1-3, Psalms 83:13-15 and Jeremiah 23:19, where a “tempest” is associated with and is sometimes presented as a word synonymous with the word ‘cherub.’ It must also be noted a cherub in the Egyptian Mysteries was at times symbolized as a boat. This was originally a Sumerian concept, as The Tempest references such Sumerian works as Gilgamesh, Enkidu and the Nether World (Version A): “Enki (a Sumerian god representing the angel Azazel) set sail (in his ‘boat,’ Behemoth) for the nether world (beneath the earth)…” Note the boat symbolism in reference to Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. On board the ship/cherub in Shakespeare’s play The Tempest is a “King.” It must again be noted the name of the god Moloch, who also represents Azazel, means ‘king.’ The story as related by Shakespeare alludes to the entrapment of Azazel inside his cherub within the earth at the time of the Flood when it says: “Had I been any god of power, I would…within the earth…the good ship (the cherub) so have swallowed and the freighting souls within her” (See Act I Scene II Lines 10-13).

William Shakespeare, traditional author of The Tempest, was an associate of Sir Francis Bacon. One of Bacon’s illustrious friends was the author of the Enochian Magic system, Dr. John Dee, Astrologer Royal to the English Queen Elizabeth I. Doubtless Shakespeare incorporates the prevailing occult magic beliefs of his time within this well-known mystery play. It must also be noted that Bacon, who, like Dee, was a prominent Rosicrucian, was alleged by many to have actually anonymously authored many if not all of the 195

Shakespearean plays as is exemplified in the following literary selection: “Without more ado or any beating about the bush it may as well be frankly stated at once that the view of the present editor is…Francis Bacon wrote the "Shakespeare" plays and poems.” - Cosmic Consciousness by Richard Maurice Bucke (1901 A.D.)

As previously noted, Francis Bacon was cited as having had an inspring role in the creation of the Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge. As we learn from Bacon: “As to the nature of spirits and angels, this is neither unsearchable nor morbid; but in a great part level to the human mind, on account of their affinity. The knowledge of their nature, powers and illusions, appears from Scripture, reason and experience, to be no small part of spiritual wisdom.” – British statesman and ceremonial magician Sir Francis Bacon Funny how William Shakespeare is an American (Humanistic) educational mainstay, for as we learn from the Theosophists: “…the Adepts (the rebel angels) assert that Shakespeare was, unconsciously to himself, inspired by one of their own number.” - Echoes from the Orient Chapter IV (William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.)

By definition, then, according to Judge, Shakespeare’s plays are a product of automatic-writing. It may be the angels dictated it to Bacon who delivered it to Shakespeare.

Azazel in Children’s Stories Azazel is sometimes known in Hebrew as Paimon, the Rabbinic title for Paimon (compare to ‘Pan’) being OZAZL. Azazel is invoked under this name in the magic system found in The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage. Related to this is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900 A.D.) by Theosophical Society member L. Frank Baum which is esoterically based on the story of Azazel. ‘Oz’ is simply a shortening of ‘OZAZL.’ In this children’s tale are depicted black and white magical practices employed by the Wicked Witch of the East and by the Good Witch of the West (who aids Dorothy, who is then sent off on a Grail-like quest to find the Wizard of Oz), respectively. Wizards (as in the Wizard of Oz) by definition are practitioners of magic and it must be noted Azazel was known as the Egyptian god Heka; the translation of the word ‘heka’ being ‘magic.’ The flying monkeys in the tale represent fallen angels. Castles (like their cousins the towers) are occult symbols associated with the Egyptian goddess Isis (due to her association with Azazel), a deity who represented Azazel’s human wife. According to L. Fank Baum’s selection from Wikipedia: “Baum's avowed intentions with the Oz books, and other fairy 196

(read: fallen angel’s) tales, was to tell such tales as the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen told, bringing them up to date by making the characters not stereotypical dwarfs or genies.” Dwarves and genies as such represent the rebellious fallen angels. They were the subject of L. Frank Baum’s literary works. In addition to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Theosophical Society member L. Frank Baum penned such occult-themed works as The Magical Monarch of Mo (1903 A.D.), Mother Goose in Prose (1897 A.D.) (prose retellings of Mother Goose rhymes**), The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (1902 A.D.), The Enchanted Island of Yew (1903 A.D.), John Dough and the Cherub (1906 A.D.), The Sea Fairies (1911 A.D.) and The Witchcraft of Mary-Marie (1908 A.D.). Baum was quite a big fan of the occult. In my youth, the Hollywood version of The Wizard of Oz was broadcast yearly on network television. I had even developed an affinity for the kindly old man of Oz, who represented none other than the rebel angel Azazel. Such belowthe-radar brainwashing techniques are stereotypical of a vast number of Hollywood offerings, included in which is the magical Warner Brother’s Harry Potter© film presentations as well as its WB network occult-themed television programs. (**As we learn from Cecil Williamson [whose father was a senior officer in the Royal Navy] at The Museum of Magic in Boscastle, Cornwall, England: “…mother goose…was a witch…In the west country (of England) witches make use of geese in many ways when working at their craft, for to them geese are endowed with numerous magical qualities and have played an ageold part in the domestic mythology of the western counties.' The origin of Mother Goose is almost certainly the Central European Goddess Holda….She actually appears in one of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, as Mother Holle, a mysterious old woman with magic powers…” The goddess Holda/Holle represented of course Azazel’s human wife. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Cecil Williamson (18 September 1909 – 9 December 1999) was an influential English Neopagan Witch. He was the founder of both the Witchcraft Research Center which was a part of MI6's war against Nazi Germany, and the Museum of Witchcraft. He was a friend of both Gerald Gardner (also a British spy?), who was the founder of Wicca, and also of the notorious occultist Aleister Crowley [who was also a known British spy].” Williamson was also an acquaintance of E.A. Wallis Budge, Margaret Alice Murry and Montague Summers [Summers was also a Britishy spy; likely they were all Intelligence assets to some degree], and was the husband of a niece of the British film producer/director Herbert Wilcox, whose mother hailed from County Cork in Ireland. In 1938 Williamson headed a special section of MI6 attached to the Foreign Office known as the Witchcraft Research Center whose objective was to collect information on Nazi occult interests…Williamson was instrumental in the capture of Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s deputy, through an occult-based ruse, and took part in a “Witches Ritual” aimed at halting Hitler’s invasion of England, a ritual including Aleister Crowley. By Williamson’s own estimation, he had taken part in some 1,120 witch’s rituals [See The Encyclopedia of Witches &Witchcraft by Rosemary Ellen Guiley]. Williamson’s Witchcraft Museum did much to promote Wicca and witchcraft).

Satanist Anton LaVey offers the following illuminating take on this subject of an early introduction to witchcraft: “In reality, our mainstream influence is just the tip of the iceberg.

For every one of those kids you see at rock concerts holding up the sign of the horns and not knowing anything about it, there are maybe five more kids who have read The Satanic Bible, know what Satanism is, and are growing up to the stage now where they are gaining positions of power and having a real effect in the world around us. In the motion picture industry, the arts, business, academia, politics – they don’t wear it on their sleeves so you probably wouldn’t even know they were Satanists. But you figure those who were born in 1955 or 1960, who have grown up living most of their lives in a post-1966 Satanic Age, are now reaching 27, 29, 32 years old. They’re getting established in their chosen fields and their philosophy is

197

bound to have an effect on the way they operate (Certainly ‘Do As Thou Wilt’ seems to be the operative philosophy of our Age!). They’re getting tired of the bullshit. Now we’re getting what I call second-generation Satanists; the Church of Satan has been in existence for most of their lives and they take the effects of Satanism as the rule rather than the exception – sexual freedom, not believing in God, independence of mind. They are choosing Satanism as a way of life because it was never shoved down their throats like Christian parents do with their religion.” - The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey (LaVey calls the period in a child’s life when he is most open to programming as the: “… ‘Erotic Crystalisation Inertia’ period (or ECI – the period in early life when an individual’s tastes and aesthetic identity are formed and frozen in time).” – p.132 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley, 1999 A.D. One can only hope that in their own turn as these children grow up and rebel against Satanist parents they thereupon develop into Christians) The Theosophical Society’s (and by extension, the fallen angel’s) tactic of hooking people by inundating children with such occult themes has worked so many wonders: “…Witchcraft—with a capital W—has become one of the fastest-growing religions in Western culture…Witchcraft has taken its place in the ecumenical religious theater. Traditionally, witchcraft—with a small w—is a form of sorcery, concerned with spells and divination. The magical witch, the sorcerer witch, was not practicing a religion of witchcraft, but was practicing a magical art, passed down through families or taught by adepts…Witchcraft as a religion was born in Britain after World War II…(Gerald B.) Gardner may not have envisioned a worldwide religious movement, but that is what unfolded, first with the export of Witchcraft to the United States, Canada and Europe, and then around the world. The ‘Gardner tradition,’ as it became known, quickly mutated into offshoots…Witchcraft the religion, along with its Pagan cousins, flourished in the blooming New Age counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s and then took hold on the edges of mainstream society…Dozens and dozens of Witchcraft and Pagan traditions exist, and new ones are born all the time. Witchcraft and Paganism have survived the first tests of time. The movements took hold in the baby boom generation. Now, the children and grandchildren of those people are growing up Wiccan and Pagan, and new young people are attracted to the fold in increasing numbers…Witchcraft/Wiccan churches are recognized legally, Witch holidays have gained some official recognition, and, in the United States, Wiccan military veterans have won the right to have the pentacle, their religious symbol, placed on their tombstones…Witchcraft is a topic of enduring interest and study.” – Introduction to the 3rd Edition of The Encyclopedia of Witches, Witchcraft and Wicca by Rosemary Ellen Guiley, 2008 A.D. And this all harkens back to Sir Francis Bacon’s original scheme of the creation of a permissible society in the Americas as set forth in his New Atlantis (1624 A.D.) (set in motion by the Royal Society, actuated by Freemasonic groups, falling under the Humanistic-based education of the Theosophical Society and its ilk), where witchcraft and paganism might be practiced without danger of persecution from a Roman Catholic Church weakened by the machinations of the Rosicrucians and its like, and therein flourish. Many magic-practicing individuals and mystics willingly flocked to America’s shores in search of religious freedoms unattainable in Catholic Europe, some have alighted having been sentenced to the arcane punishment of ‘transportation.’ And flourish they have; the fallen angels through their human cronies control the world today, and, one might successfully argue, have even infiltrated the very Church itself in their long-term quest to destroy it.

Azazel’s story can even be found in the late 16th Century Chinese literary classic entitled Journey to the West. Therein he is 198

depicted as the Monkey King Sun Wukong, who was said to have been imprisoned within a mountain of stone after staging a failed rebellion in heaven (compare to the Mithras legend).

Chapter 9. Azazel and the Theosophical Society “From the first ages of man, the fundamental truths of all that we are permitted to know on earth was in the safe keeping of the adepts (the angels) of the sanctuary. Those guardians (a play on the term ‘guardian angels’) of the primitive divine revelation, who had solved every problem that is within the grasp of human intellect, were bound together by a universal freemasonry of science and philosophy, which formed one unbroken chain around the globe.” - Isis Unveiled (Helena P. Blavatsky, 1877 A.D.)

The Theosophical Society was born of this “universal freemasonry of science and philosophy” with its concerted global reach. Though the Theosophical Society dismisses the legendary stories of rebellion perpetrated by the fallen angels as simple allegory and parable, they do not, however, deny that these angels do in fact exist. On the contrary; they openly embrace these fallen angels, in their minds humanoid beings highly envolutionarily advanced.

Annie Besant in The Inner Government of Our World (1920 A.D.) speaks of the shadow government of the world composed of rebellious fallen angels: “all the activities of our world…are directed by a Group of great Beings” an “Occult Government of the World…considering the especial Government of our own world, the Occult Hierarchy as it is called, the Beings composing that (Occult Hierarchy) having come to our earth in the middle of the third human Race from the planet Shukra (Venus) (read: from an alien planet; the angels come, in fact, from the New Earth)…They were of Those who originally came to our world for its helping, and who are still with us…the high Devas (the rebellious angels)...are the true inner Rulers of our world.”

“Here we should be able to find out really what is going on, the Forces (the Powers) behind those who are apparently the rulers, the teachers and the actor in our world, the true Inner Government of the World…as manifested in the Occult Hierarchy of our world, with the Four Kumaras at its head.” This “great group of Rulers…the four 200

Kumaras. There is not very much said about Them. Not many explanations are given. But they are spoken of as ‘the Four,’ the ‘One and the Three.’ He (Azazel) who is spoken of as the Eldest among Those - as to whom time may be said only to be a name (a play on the words Chronos/Kronos), for They are beyond its illusions - He (Azazel) is called Sanat Kumara (‘Eternal Youth’), the Eternal, the Ancient; in later days He is thought of as the Eldest, but it is better to think of Him as the Eternal, to whom and in whom time is not.” - The Inner Government of Our World Lecture II by Annie Besant: “So that that word Eternal is never to be confused with everlasting, Remember that word is the word rightly given to that great Being beyond our knowing, who is spoken of in the Puranas as the Eldest Kumara, the great Being we call Sanat (‘Eternal’) Kumara (‘Youth’), The Eternal. Then the Three who are with Him, dwellers in that mystic City of Shamballa, the White Island Youth, are the remaining Kumaras, called the Pupils (chelas) of Him (Azazel) who is the Head of the Inner Government of our World.”- The Inner Government of Our World (Annie Bessant)

The four angels in Azazel’s cherub Behemoth which is entrapped beneath the earth are: “the Four Kumaras…the Heads of all power and Rulers (angels) in our world (these four are the commanders over all the rebel angels)…the Mighty Four (the four angels within Azazel’s cherub) at the head of the Group of Rulers, and the Three and One (the ‘One’ is Azazel) is only the obvious division between the Head (the ‘Head’ is Azazel) and the Three (angels) who come next to Him in the Inner Government of the World.” - The Inner Government of Our World (Annie Besant) (These four angels are also the four ‘Deva’… ‘guardians of witchdom’ invoked in the Liber Umbrarum Book of Shadows included in Wicca witch-priestess Doreen Valiente’s Witchcraft for Tomorrow)

Theosophists (as does this Author) believe the mythological stories of the gods of the nations to be stories about the angels of The Bible: “The Scriptures and religious traditions of all cultures make frequent reference to non-human entities, variously termed Angels, Devas, Gods, Spirits of one kind or another. In mythology these beings appear as nature-spirits, fairies, sylphs, salamanders, to name but a few.

Esoteric Science supports universal tradition in affirming that the different planes of Nature are peopled by hierarchies of beings, each with characteristic properties and modes of functioning. In the Bible there are well-known instances of angelic appearances, singly as ‘the angel of the Lord’ or as ‘a multitude of the heavenly host.’” - Deity, 201

Cosmos and Man, "The Scope and Framework of the Science," Part I, Chapter II.4 The Hierarchies of Beings (Geoffrey A Farthing)

When Theosophists write of the incarnate angels they often use their Indian designation, devas. It must be noted the word deva is a cognate of the word devil: “These devas are angels incarnate, divine Teachers, superhuman men” - Riddle of Life And how Theosophy answers it (Annie Besant) “Superhuman Beings (‘superhuman men’; the Supermen)...are the builders of civilisations and of religions in our world...Now, the idea that such Superhuman Beings had much to do with the affairs of men is no new idea, no mere Theosophical fad. In Christian antiquity you find the thought put forward that over every nation there presided a great Angel. Read the way in which Origen speaks of the Angel Guardians of nations and of the world. The idea in the East was a little more complicated...in the East, whilst they recognised what here would be called ‘the ministry of Angels,’ speaking of them as the Shining Ones (Elohim)—so often mistranslated ‘God’—whilst they recognised their work in many grades as the older Christians (amongst which group would later be included Billy Graham) recognised the ministry of the nine great Orders in the angelic host (which idea originated with Plato, who was a practioner of magic/conjurer of fallen angels), they joined side by side with them the men who had attained perfection...Those who are divine men, who have perfected the human cycle of evolution (a misidentification of the Biblical group hailed as ‘just men made perfect’), it is They who share with the angelic host the guidance of evolution in the world in which we are. For this world is not lonely as it rolls through space, nor confined only to the men bound still to the wheel of births and deaths (to the circle of life). The spiritual world interpenetrates the physical, as every religion has declared; Superhuman Beings (incarnate angels) move amongst us and take their part in the affairs of men.” - Superhuman Men in History and in Religion (Annie Besant, 1913 A.D.)

Indeed, as Besant explains: “...perfected men (read: incarnate fallen angels) visited the courts of kings in order to see that kingdoms were well governed and royal duties were honourably performed...In those days, readily was Their guidance accepted, and, therefore, They walked openly among the people...the Guardians (a play on the term 202

‘guardian angels’) drew back from sight but never from labour (another play on words, a popular literary device of the day; the word labour is related to the word elf, an angel), and worked unseen and unhampered by the growing conditions of humanity, but with the same heart of love, the same brain of wisdom as in the elder days. It is They (the incarnate rebel angels) who pull down Empires and build them up, who bring about equilibrium between nations and do not allow a single set of national ideals so to triumph over the world that all others shall give way before them. It is They (the incarnate rebel angels) who gradually build up a great Empire and give to some sub-race the ruling of the world (their goal is a one-world government under their command); it is They (the incarnate rebel angels) who are giving to England today the possibility of the mighty part that she may play in the advancing humanity of the time, of World-Empire mightier than any Empire of the past...That is done today, not by direct order from the mouth of the recognised Superior, but by the subtler working on the ambitions and the passions and the thoughts of men (through thought transference/Overshadowing)...it is these greater Ones (the angels) behind who really pull the strings to which our statesmen and our rulers dance obediently, and, in the pulling, educate the people, and so help forward the general evolution of the race.” - Superhuman Men in History and in Religion by Annie Besant, 1913 A.D.

“The creatures evolved in the four kingdoms of earth, air, fire, and water, and called by the Kabalists gnomes, sylphs, salamanders, and undines. They may be termed the forces of nature, and will either operate effects as the servile agents of general law, or may be employed by the disembodied spirits — whether pure or impure — and by living adepts of magic and sorcery, to produce desired phenomenal results…Under the general designation of fairies and fays, these spirits of the elements appear in the myth, fable, tradition, and poetry of all nations, ancient and modern. Their names are legion — peris, devs, djins, sylvans, satyrs, fawns, elves, dwarfs, trolls, kobolds, brownies, stromkarls, undines, nixies, salamanders, goblins, banshees, kelpies, prixies, moss people, good people, good neighbours, wild women, men of peace, white ladies, and many more. They have been seen, feared, blessed, banned, and invoked in every quarter of the globe and in every age.

These elementals are the principal agents of disembodied but never visible spirits at séances, and the producers of all the phenomena except the ‘subjective’”. — ("Isis", preface xxix., vol. 1). “In the Jewish Kabala the nature spirits were known under the general name of Shedim, and divided into four classes. The Persians called them devs; the Greeks indistinctly designated them as demons; the Egyptians knew them as 'afrites' (Africa derives its name in this way). The Ancient Mexicans, says Kaiser, believed in numerous spirit-abodes, into one of which the shades of innocent-children were placed until final disposal; into another, situated in 203

the Sun, ascended the valiant souls of heroes; while the hideous spectres of incorrigible sinners were sentenced to wander and despair in subterranean caves, held in the bonds of the earth-atmosphere, unwilling and unable to liberate themselves. They passed their time in communicating with mortals… — ("Isis," page 313, volume 1).” - Difference between Elementals & Elementaries (1889 A.D.) (“It is therefore evident that the world of man exercises a controlling power over this invisible world of “elementals”…” - Nature-Spirits or Elementals, The Theosophical Publishing Society, England, 1889 A.D.) (“(Immanuel) Kant admitted not only the possibility of the existence of a spiritual conscious world, but also the possibility of communion with it.” - Chapter XVI Tertium Organum, by P.D. Ouspensky, (1922 A.D.).

Which brings us to the subject of “cosmic pluralism”: “Cosmic pluralism, the plurality of worlds, or simply pluralism, describes the belief in numerous other worlds which harbour extraterrestrial life. The debate over pluralism began as early as the time of Thales (c. 600 BC) and has continued, in a variety of forms, until the modern era…After Thales and his student Anaximander opened the door to an infinite universe, a strong pluralist stance was adopted by the atomists, notably Leucippus (first half of 5th century B.C.), Democritus (circa. 460-370 B.C.), and Epicurus (341– 270 B.C.).” - Wikipedia: Cosmic pluralism. “The possibility of extraterrestrials remained a widespread speculation as scientific discovery accelerated.

William Herschel, the discoverer of Uranus, was one of many 18th–19th century astronomers convinced that the Solar System, and perhaps others, would be well-populated by alien life.

Other luminaries of the period who championed “cosmic pluralism” included Immanuel Kant and Benjamin Franklin.” - Wikipedia: Extraterrestrial life. “The French astronomer Camille Flammarion was one of the chief proponents of cosmic pluralism during the latter half of the nineteenth century. His first book, La pluralité des mondes habités (The Plurality of Inhabited Worlds, 1862 A.D.) was a great popular success, going through 33 editions in its first twenty years.” - Wikipedia: Camille Flammarion. Mormonism exhibits such a ‘Cosmic Pluralism’ bent: “Some modern LDS Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormons) leaders have taught that there are people living on other earths. For instance, apostle Joseph Fielding Smith (19 July 1876 – 2 July 1972) wrote: “We are not the only people that the Lord has created. We have brothers and sisters on other earths. They look like us because they, too, are the children of God and were created in his image, for they are also his offspring (See Doctrines of Salvation 1:62).” Smith also wrote, “...the great universe of stars has multiplied beyond the comprehension of men. Evidently each of these great systems is governed by divine law; with divine presiding Gods, for it would be unreasonable to assume that each was not so governed (See Answers to Gospel Questions 2:144).” Apostle Neal A. Maxwell (July 6, 1926 – July 21, 2004) wrote, “we do not know how many inhabited worlds there are, or where they are. But certainly we are not alone” (See p. 25 A Wonderful Flood of Light, Neal A. Maxwell, 1989 A.D.)” – Wikipedia: Mormon cosmology) (“Such stories were so well established during the Middle Ages that the problem of communicating with the Elementals (read: angels) became a major preoccupation of the hermetics and an important part of their philosophy. Paracelsus wrote an entire book on the nature of these beings, but he took great pains to warn the reader of the dangers of an association with them: I do not want to say here, because of the ills which might befall those who would try it, through which (magic) compact one associates with these beings, thanks to which compact they (the angels) appear to us and speak to us.” – Passport to Magonia: On UFOs, Folklore and Parallel Worlds (Jacques Vallee, 1969 A.D.). The NASA-associated astronomer and ufoologist Jacques Vallee outwardly expounded the extraterrestrial hypothesis. He also has Theosophical Society connections, specifically as a guest lecturer. A photo of him with Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey and The Morning of the Magicians publisher is included amongst the photos included in LaVey’s biography entitled The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey. Interestingly enough, Vallee was also an associate of Frank Malina and Jack Parsons: “It may have been Malina who first introduced

204

the late John (Jack) Parsons to the UFO-researcher and debunker Jaques Vallee.” – p. 193 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D. LaVey’s friend Kenneth Anger was at one time Jack Parsons’ neighbor)

“Now it is constantly asked: Where are these Beings (the rebellious fallen angels with whom the Theosophists claimed to be in contact)?...We also read, in the legends of the world, of races living in the interior of the earth (these stories were based on the story of Azazel’s imprisonment within the Earth)…They work with a full knowledge of the law of evolution; the rise and fall of a civilization is known to them, as the hours on the face of the clock are known to us.** They (the rebellious fallen angels) understand when it is wise to work through and with some of their agents among men, and they arrange their appearances in such a way that it is necessary to develop intuition to discern who they are and what their business is. The majority of men who have not developed a corresponding consciousness in themselves might pass a Master (an incarnate angel) in the street and not recognize him as such. His physical form would probably be precisely the same as the other physical forms among which he lived, and unless you knew him by his Light, unless you had developed a state of consciousness that would respond, in a vibratory sense, to the vibration coming from him or her, then indeed the Master (the fact that this being is an angel) would not be known by you.” - The Path of Attainment (D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.) (“The term Master may be used to mean an Adept and vice versa.” - The Path of Attainment (D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.) (**This is known as the “Tytler Cycle”: “The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency (at which stage is America today) back to bondage.” - Alexander Fraser Tytler, 1813 A.D. Which brings to mind the old OTO adage: “The slaves shall serve.”)

“As I said, we read of races living in certain parts of the interior of the earth, and of caves that lead to temples and halls and vast spaces (these stories were based on the story of Azazel’s imprisonment within the Earth). I can only speak of them as dreams myself, for I have not yet been able to visit them in the physical body; but in dreams I have entered some of these temples in the interior of the earth, places where there are huge libraries and individuals to answer almost every conceivable question, Beings (angels) who are aware of all that is 205

going on on the earth’s surface, and who have pronounced ideas with regard to the relative importance of the events that seem to be so tremendously tragic for mankind.” - The Path of Attainment (D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.)

According to Theosophists, the difference between humans from our Earth and incarnate angels from heaven is an evolutionary one: “there are other orders of beings than the human, some of whom rank alongside the Adepts in a grade of existence higher than our own…whom we call Devas or Angels” (See The Masters and the Path, by C. W. Leadbeater, 1925 A.D.; Part I: The Masters Chapter I: The Existence of the Masters General Considerations). Theosophists consider the incarnate angels to be a very real human genus higher on the evolutionary scale than normal human beings from Earth: “The highest system of evolution specially connected with this earth, so far as we know, is that of the beings whom Hindus call the Devas, and who have elsewhere been spoken of as angels, sons of God, etc.

They may, in fact, be regarded as a kingdom lying next above humanity, in the same way as humanity in turn lies next above the animal kingdom” (See Devachanic Plane, C.W. Leadbeater, (1896 A.D.)).

Concerning “the archangels and the angels of the Christian faith,” explains Annie Besant, Theosophists “regard those mighty archangels and angels as the product of the evolution of older worlds than this (our Earth)” - Is Theosophy Anti-Christian Adyar Pamphlets No. 88 (Annie Besant, 1918 A.D.)

Geoffrey Hodson, British army officer in WWI, member of the Theosophical Society for over 70 years, in a chapter entitled Coooperation with Angels: “According to the Ancient Wisdom, an angel is a member of a parallel stream of evolution which progresses through this solar system side by side with humanity.” – Thus Have I Heard Chapter IX Co-ooperation with Angels (Geoffrey Hodson) (Light of The Sanctuary: The Occult Diary of Geoffrey Hodson (pp114115 as compiled by Sandra Hodson, 1988 A.D.) speaks of his “intercommunication, through transference” with an “Archangel Teacher,” with whom one may assume he was acting in “Co-operation”!)

“The Mahatma (an incarnate angel) is man perfect within the circle of 206

our evolution. He has completed evolution, and acts freely in the spiritual world, fully conscious as an individual being.” - The Path of Attainment (D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.))

“Many of the world religions recognize such a spiritual hierarchy of divine or semi-divine Beings and have given to them various names and descriptions. The Bible variously refers to them as Angels…A companion to this thought is the teaching that upon our planet earth there exists a "body" of “just men made perfect" (a reference to Hebrews 12:22-24), an assembly or "communion of saints"; who constitute a "spiritual brotherhood" of those of our humanity who have attained perfection so far as this world is concerned, and who live henceforth as guides and teachers of mankind. As in Revelation, "these are they which...have washed their robes and made them white" (See Revelations 7:14), and who stand ever in the presence or consciousness of God (on this point he is gravely mistaken). This "Brotherhood" is in a broad sense an organization known in the occult world as "The Great White Lodge". Its members are known as "Masters of the Wisdom", and are passionately called "Elder Brothers", because of the fact that They once stood where we now stand, and through many lives of selfless service to humanity and by the perfecting of Their own inner natures, have arrived at that point in evolution where They can best serve God by helping others to travel this "Path".” - The Theosophical Seal (Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.) Theosophists believe the incarnate angels to be a more evolutionarily advanced type of human being: “That the masters, adepts, or mahatmas (the rebellious fallen angels), as they have been variously termed, are inaccessible to any but those who diligently seek, stands to reason. These men (incarnate angels) are the custodians of the knowledge of the occult powers of nature. They are men who have advanced so far in front of the race, that the world in which they live, their moral qualities, and their knowledge and control of physical law, and of forces of which the modern world knows absolutely nothing, are so great as to place them on a height, which to our limited ideas appears to transcend altogether that of the human.” - The Higher Science (William Kingsland, 1889 A.D.) (The rebellious fallen angels are considered by Theosophists to be: “a mighty Brotherhood, variously spoken of as Adepts, Arhats, Masters. Mahatmas, Brothers, who are living men (angels incarnate), evolved further than average humanity.” - A Rough Outline of Theosophy (Annie Besant))

Theosophists believe the more advanced angels came to our planet to aid us lowly humans in our evolutionary progression: “The Occultist calls it the Akashic Record. Science groping after it says it must be there, but it cannot deal with it. Naturally. It can be dealt with only by the development of certain faculties in man. In that way I speak of what I have “seen.” In that way I said that I knew that the Hierarchy (the angels) came from elsewhere, because I have seen the coming to our world of those great Lords of Light (the Shining Ones; the Angelic Hosts of Christianity); I am told They came from Shukra, Venus (from a different planet), which gave to our world the beginnings of its Occult Hierarchy. That is beyond my powers of research I saw only the arrival. There are certain traditions in some of your books which speak about the coming of the great Lords. You read in them, for instance, of the four Kumaras (Kumara means ‘prince/ruler.’ These are Azazel and his three comrades in his cherub Behemoth). Where did They come from? Who were They? They (the angels) came to the world from somewhere. The Occult Records and Hindu books say of the great Ones (the angels) that They came from Shukra (Venus; from a different planet). They (the angels) came to our world (they came to our Earth) because our world was ready, was at a stage of the evolution of men capable of receiving that great wave of Life which made the intellect of man possible. And They (the angels) came because, without guidance from higher Beings, the intellect would have gone wrong, plunged amid a world of passion and animal nature, with which it was filled, to the great destruction of the forward evolution of human beings.” - The Inner Government of Our World (Annie Besant) “There is still one more source, the greatest of all, from which Theosophy has derived its most important information, and that is certain perfected men (read: incarnate angels) called sometimes the Brothers and sometimes the Masters who have completed their human evolution but remain in touch with the world to assist humanity in its growth. They…have at their command a great knowledge of nature’s laws…They place this knowledge at the disposal of…those who ask for it…The information which the Brothers have given to those who have thus qualified themselves to receive it, has rounded out and completed the theosophical system of thought…it is nothing less than the bedrock upon which all phases of the world’s thought and 208

activity are founded.” – Theosophy Simplified (Irving S. Cooper, 1915 A.D. Krotona, Hollywood, Los Angeles CA)

“The Great Brotherhood, or Great White Lodge, consists in part or those highly evolved Souls (including Azazel’s group of four angels) who have reached that stage or the evolutionary pathway which gives them membership or what is called in occult literature the Inner Government or the world, and in part or those who, though far off from such a stage, are nevertheless sufficiently advanced to be trained to become members or this Government, compared with which all outer governments are but toy governments, in the future.

Membership or the Great Brotherhood, or Great White Lodge, is open to the very earnest and faithful worker who has begun to know the nature and purpose or life. But he stands on the lowest rungs or the great Ladder or the Inner Life, is but a student or government, not a veritable Master in the science.” - Footnote 2 from Kundalini (G.S. Arundale, 1938 A.D.)

According to Theosophist George S. Arundale in Thoughts on "At the Feet of the Master" (1918 A.D.), “the great White Brotherhood” is “a brotherhood which some day shall exist in the outer world.” (No doubt in reference to Azazel’s prophesized release from his earthen imprisonment in 2016 A.D.) “The present volume would indeed be a very fragmentary fragment if allowed to go forth without a more detailed account of those spiritually exalted men (the incarnate angels), the Adept-Teachers of the Esoteric Doctrine, to whom such constant references have been made in these pages…There was a time, before the dark shadows of materialism, ecclesiastical and scientific, spread over humanity, when the Adept (an angel), as king and as priest, guided the progress of our race…It has been mentioned before, that at the birth of man, a Dhyan Chohan** (an angel) came to dwell upon our planet and instruct the children of Earth…” - Man: Fragments of a Forgotten History by "Two Chelâs (Two Initiates)" (**“Dhyan Chohans, ‘Lords of Light,’ defined as ‘the divine Intelligences charged with the supervision of Kosmos’ (Azazel is at times referred to as Kosmos/Cosmos) [The Theosophical Glossary]. Mme Blavatsky points out that they correspond to Archangels recognized in the Roman Catholic system…(Dhyani-Chohans) are the collective hosts of spiritual beings—the Angelic Hosts of Christianity, the Elohim and ‘Messengers’ of the Jews—who are the vehicle for the manifestation of the divine or universal thought and will…This hierarchy of spiritual Beings, through which the Universal Mind comes into action, is like an army—a ‘Host,’ truly—by means of which the fighting power of a nation

209

manifests itself, and which is composed of army corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, and so forth... [The Secret Doctrine -I, 38 /I, 70 /I, 112]” - Deity, Cosmos and Man by Geoffrey Farthing. As must at this time be noted, the concept of the “Holy Guardian Angel” with which practitioners of magic have so long sought to communicate has recently been morphed into the metaphysical ideal of the ‘Universal Mind’ (also known as hive-mind) of which the Theosophical Society speaks: “To some extent, there is an aspect of us that does exist beyond our physicality. It is the unseen part that helps us and tries to get us where we need to be. It acts as a guide, counselor, best friend, parent, and many other aspects depending on what we need at any given moment. Our Higher Self (the ‘Higher Self,’ also known as the ‘True Self,’ is a new designation for what was previously known as one’s ‘Guardian Angel’) will communicate with us in various ways: through intuition, hunches, sudden unexpected life changes, etc. We may or may not choose to listen or act on those communications. But in essence, it is our physical self that is the ‘receiver’ of these messages, just like a fax machine or a telephone. When we talk about our Higher Self, it tends to conjure up all kinds of images of some kind of angelic, mystical being located in some far away place (what practitioners of magic previously referred to as your “Holy Guardian Angel”). Though there is a small amount of truth to that image, the Higher Self is a lot more physical and most importantly, local than most people tend to imagine. What most people don’t realize is that there is a very physical component to this higher part of us. Our physical self, which includes our life situation, relationships, and so on, is the outward reflection of what is going on at a higher level, that is filtered through our egos. If one chooses to receive and follow that guidance, the potential is that one would become the physical manifestation of his or her Higher Self. If not, then the opposite is true to the varying degree at which one chooses to accept and follow the divine guidance brought through from the Higher Self. And because our Higher Self is an infinite being, our own potential is also infinite.” – Wikipedia: Universal Mind) (In anti-deluvian times, angels/gods ruled over cities, each his own. Indeed, as we learn from the early church father Origin in The Philokalia Chapter XXIII v. 1 there were those who professed (the 2 nd century Greek philosopher Celsus amongst them) that God, whom the Greeks knew as Zeus, “originally assigned the different parts of the earth to the different guardian angels” and “having been made into separate realms are that way administered.” In fact, the many gods representing the angel Azazel are often depicted as kings, for there was a time when the angel Azazel ruled on Earth as a king. In the Sumerian King List, Dumuzi (Tammuz), who represents the angel Azazel, is listed therein as a king of Sumer (Sumer itself is named after Azazel. Sumer is a cognate of the name of the god Suman/Saman, a god who represented Azazel).

Azazel is also represented as the Erl-King, king of the elves, as Ashmodai/Asmodeus, king of demons, as Osiris, king of the underworld, the serpent king Mucalinda, Nergal, King of the underworld of Hades, Melqart, king of the underworld, Ana, King of the Lower World, the Manichean King of Darkness whose kingdom lies below the earth, Chicunauhmictlan, king of the underworld, Arawn, king of the Otherworld, Moloch, a god whose name translates as ‘king’ (mlk), Pan, king of the satyrs, Sylvanus, king of the sylvans, Oberon (‘Ob’ means ‘serpent’), king of fairies, and Enki, king of the Earth (it must be noted Sumer was known as KI.EN.GIR, the ‘land of the Watchers.’ If we remove the E, the I and the R from the word KI.EN.GIR, we are left with the word ‘king.’ Also the root of the title Enki, who likewise represented Azazel, namely, -ki, is also the root of the word ‘king,’ namely, ki-))

It is claimed the rebellious fallen angels commanded the creation of the Theosophical Society: “The Theosophical Society was founded in New York in 1875, with the avowed object of forming a nucleus for a Universal Brotherhood, 210

and its founders state that they believe the Indian Mahatmas (read: the rebellious fallen angels) directed them to establish such a society.” Echoes from the Orient Chapter I (William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.) (Crowley-initiate Charles Stansfeld Jones created what he called the Universal Brotherhood on this concept consisting of Theosophical Society members as well as Thelemites)

Amongst a host of other titles, the rebellious fallen angels are known as the Mahatmas. Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels employs ELF waves (as well as does Satan’s band of fallen angels; all cherubim have this same capability) which gives them the ability to implant thoughts within the human brain. From this concept comes the Theosophic belief in telepathy and thought-transference. In The Bible, this force is known as the “spirit of error.” This is also known as the ‘odic force.’ The Theosophist William Q. Judge writes of the influence the rebellious fallen angels in this way exert upon the world: “But, asks the busy man of the nineteenth century who reads the newspapers and believes in "modern progress," if these elder brothers (the rebel angels) are all you claim them to be, why have they left no mark on history nor gathered men around them? Their (the angels’) own reply, published some time ago by Mr. A. P. Sinnett, is better than any I could write. "We will first discuss, if you please, the one relating to the presumed failure of the 'Fraternity' to 'leave any mark upon the history of the world.' They ought, you think, to have been able, with their extraordinary advantages, to have 'gathered into their schools a considerable portion of the more enlightened minds of every race.'

How do you know they have made no such mark? Are you acquainted with their efforts, successes, and failures? …What they have done they know; all that those outside their circle could perceive was results, the causes of which were masked from view. To account for these results, men have, in different ages, invented theories of the interposition of gods, special providences, fates, the benign or hostile influences of the stars. There never was a time within or before the so-called historical period when our predecessors (the rebel angels) were not moulding events and 'making history,' …And we, borne along on the mighty tide, can only modify and direct some of its minor currents." (from A.P. Sinnett’s The Occult World London 1888 A.D.)” - From: The Ocean of Theosophy Chapter I (William Q. Judge) Judge explains: 211

“Some years ago a well-known Anglo-Indian, writing to the Theosophical Adepts (Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels), queried if they had ever made any mark upon the web of history, doubting that they had. The reply was that he had no bar at which to arraign them, and that they had written many an important line upon the page of human life, not only as reigning in visible shape (these angels reigned on Earth before the Deluge. Humans worshipped them as gods), but down to the very latest dates when, as for many a long century before, they did their work behind the scenes. To be more explicit, these wonderful men (read: incarnate angels) have swayed the destiny of nations and are shaping events today. Pillars of peace and makers of war such as (Prussian stateman Otto von) Bismarck (instrumental in the creation of the country known as Germany, the leading combatant of World Wars I and II), or saviors of nations such as (American Presidents’) (George) Washington, (Abraham) Lincoln and (Ulysses S.) Grant, owe their elevation, their singular power, and their astonishing grasp upon the right men for their purposes, not to trained intellect or long preparation in the schools of their day, but to these very unseen Adepts (rebellious fallen angels)…” - Echoes from the Orient Chapter IV(William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.) (And one may argue that the ideas of these men came from the rebellious fallen angels with whom they were in contact. Master inventor Thomas Edison was known as the Wizard of Menlo Park, not from his creative prowess, per se, but from the ceremonial magic practices in which he was involved as a member in good standing of the mystical Theosophical Society. The rebellious fallen angels were known to implant thoughts within the minds of humans. Perhaps it is to the angels Edison owes his inspiration)

In an 1883 A.D. article in Theosophist magazine entitled ‘The Adepts in America in 1776,’ William Q. Judge divulges: “The reflecting mind is filled with astonishment upon reviewing the history of the rise of the United States of N. America, when it perceives that dogmatic theology has no foundation in any part of the Declaration of Independence or Constitution for the structure which it fain would raise and has so often since tried to erect within and upon the government. We are astonished because those documents were formulated and that government established at a time when dogmatism of one kind or another had supreme sway. Although the Puritans and others had come to America for religious freedom, they were still very dogmatic and tenacious of their own peculiar theories and creed; so that if we found in this fundamental law much about religion and religious establishments, we would not be surprised. But in vain do we look for it, in vain did the 212

supporters of the iron church attempt to lay the needed corner stone, and today America rejoices at it, and has thereby found it possible to grow with the marvelous growth that has been the wonder of Europe.

The nullification of these efforts made by bigotry in 1776 was due to the adepts (the rebellious fallen angels) who now look over and give the countenance of their great name to the Theosophical Society.

They (the rebellious fallen angels) oversaw the drafting of the Declaration and the drawing of the Constitution, and that is why no foothold is to be found for these blatant Christians who desire to inject God into the constitution. In the declaration, from which freedom sprang, "nature and nature's god" are referred to. In the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs the natural rights of man are specified, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The king is spoken of as being unworthy to be "the head of a civilized nation," nothing being said as to whether he was the head, or worthy to be, of a Christian one. In appealing to their British brethren, the declaration says the appeal is "made to their native justice and magnanimity." All reference to religion and Christianity or God's commands are left out. This was for the very good reason that for 1700 years religion had battled against progress, against justice, against magnanimity, against the rights of man. And in the concluding sentence the signers mutually pledge each other to its support ignoring all appeals to God. In the constitution of 1787 the preamble declares that the instrument was made for union, for justice, for tranquility and defense, the general good and liberty.

Art. VI says no religious test as a qualification for office shall ever be required, and the 1st Amendment prohibits an establishment of religion or restraint of its free exercise. The great Theosophical Adepts (the rebellious angels) in looking around the world for a mind through which they could produce in America the reaction which was then needed, found in England, Thomas Paine. In 1774 they (the rebellious angels) influenced him, through the help of that worthy (Freemasonic) Brother Benjamin Franklin, to come to America. He came here and was the main instigator of the separation of the Colonies from the British Crown. At the suggestion of (George) Washington, (Benjamin) Franklin, (Thomas) Jefferson and other Freemasons, whose minds through the teachings of the symbolic degrees of masonry were fitted to reason correctly, and to reject theological conservation, he wrote "Common Sense," which was the torch to the pile whose blaze burned away the bonds between England and America. For "Common Sense" he was often publicly thanked.

213

George Washington wrote September 10th, 1783, to Paine: "I shall be exceedingly happy to see you. Your presence may remind Congress of your past services to this country, and if it is in my power to impress them, command my best exertions with freedom, as they will be rendered cheerfully by one who entertains a lively sense of the importance of your works." And again in June 1784, in a letter to (James) Madison, Washington says: "Can nothing be done in our assembly for poor Paine? Must the merits and services of 'Common Sense' continue to glide down the stream of time unrewarded by this country? His writings certainly have had a powerful effect upon the public mind. Ought they not then to meet an adequate return?" In the "Age of Reason" which he wrote in Paris several years after, Paine says: "I saw, or at least I thought I saw, a vast scene opening itself to the world in the affairs of America; and it appeared to me that unless the Americans changed the plan they were then pursuing and declared themselves independent, they would not only involve themselves in a multiplicity of new difficulties, but shut out the prospect that was then offering itself to mankind through their means." Further on he says: "There are two distinct classes of thoughts; those produced by reflection, and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord. I have always made it a rule to treat these voluntary visitors with civility, and it is from them I have acquired all the knowledge that I have." These "voluntary visitors" were injected into his brain by the Adepts (the rebellious fallen angels), Theosophists. Seeing that a new order of ages was about to commence and that there was a new chance for freedom and the brotherhood of man (a key Theosophic goal), they laid before the eye of Thomas Paine - who they knew could be trusted to stand almost alone with the lamp of truth in his hand amidst others who in "times that tried men's souls" quaked with fear, a "vast scene opening itself to Mankind in the affairs of America." The result was the Declaration, the Constitution for America. And as if to give point to these words and to his declaration that he saw this vast scene opening itself, this new order of ages, the design of the reverse side of the U.S. great seal is a pyramid whose capstone is removed with the blazing eye in a triangle over it dazzling the sight, above it are the words "the heavens approve," while underneath appears the startling sentence "a new order of ages." That he had in his mind's eye a new order of ages we cannot doubt upon reading in his "Rights of Man," Part 2, Chap. 2, "no beginning could be made in Asia, Africa or Europe, to reform the political condition of man. She (America) 214

made a stand not for herself alone, but for the world, and looked beyond the advantage she could receive." In Chap. 4, "The case and circumstances of America present themselves as in the beginning of a world...there is a morning of reason rising upon man, on the subject of Government, that has not appeared before." The design "of the seal" was not an accident, but was actually intended to symbolize the building and firm founding of a new order of ages. It was putting into form the idea which by means of a "voluntary visitor" (an implanted thought) was presented to the mind of Thomas Paine, of a vast scene opening itself, the beginning in America of "a new order of ages." That side of the seal has never been cut or used, and at this day the side in use has not the sanction of law. In the spring of 1841, when Daniel Webster was Secretary of State, a new seal was cut, and instead of the eagle holding in his sinister claw 13 arrows as intended, he holds only six. Not only was this change unauthorized, but the cause for it is unknown. When the other side is cut and used, will not the new order of ages have actually been established? More then is claimed for the Theosophical Adepts (the rebellious fallen angels) than the changing of baser metal into gold (a goal of Alchemists), or the possession of such a merely material thing as the elixir of life. They (the rebellious fallen angels) watch (a play on the word ‘Watcher’) the progress of man and help him on in his halting flight up the steep plane of progress. They (the rebellious fallen angels) hovered over Washington, Jefferson, and all the other brave freemasons who dared to found a free Government in the West, which could be pure from the dross of dogmatism, they (the rebellious fallen angels) cleared their minds, inspired their pens and left upon the great seal of this mighty nation the memorial of their presence.

Theosophist, October, 1883” (Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours (father of Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, the founder of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company © (DuPont ©, one of the world’s largest chemical companies), patriarch and progenitor of one of America's richest business dynasties) was a French friend of the first United States Ambassador to France Benjamin Franklin, wrote in his book entitled Philosophy of the Universe of “immortal spirits which he called "Optimates" and through whom any illuminé can have communication. It is always the doctrine of the "ammoneans" gods, the "eons" or "eloims'' (the Elohim; angels) of antiquity.“ - from a Footnote to Occult Theocracy p.213).

As we learn from Wikipedia: Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours: “Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours (December 14, 1739 – August 7, 1817) was a French nobleman, writer, economist, and government official, who was the father of Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, the founder of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company, patriarch and progenitor of one of America's richest business dynasties of the 19th and 20th centuries...He was initially a supporter of the French Revolution and served as president of the National Constituent Assembly...he and his entire family left for the United States in 1799... In the United States, he developed strong ties with

215

industry and government, in particular with Thomas Jefferson. Pierre engaged in informal diplomacy between the United States and France during the reign of Napoleon. He was the originator of an idea that eventually became the Louisiana Purchase…His son, Eleuthère Irénée, founded what would become one of the largest and most successful American corporations: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company” (DuPont ©).”)

And again in an 1884 A.D. article entitled ‘Adepts and Politics’: “The communication in your December number from Chhabigram Dolatram, headed as above, is a piece of special pleading, directed against the adepts (the rebellious fallen angels), and flowing from a source not friendly to either the cause of Theosophy or to the Masters.

Personally, I do not believe Mr. Dolatram wrote the article; he simply allowed his name to be appended to it. It is, to my thinking, the emanation of a European Christian and royalist mind. It is quite true, as you say, in your comment that I referred in my article to adepts in general. But my own unsupported opinion was and is that the American revolution was a just one, started to accomplish a beneficial end, and that the Hindu or Tibetan Mahatmas (the rebellious fallen angels) would not be disgraced by any connection with it, notwithstanding the royalist and anti-republican feelings of the real authors of Mr. Dolatram's paper. That revolution was not degraded, in the American side, by the shedding of blood except in lawful battle for human rights. Allow me to point to a historical fact in connection with the Count St. Germain, which will shed some light on the question of what, if any, connection do some adepts (rebellious fallen angels) have with justifiable revolutions. One of the well-known generals who fought with (George) Washington, in the Continental army against the British, was General Fred. Wm. Von Stueben, a Prussian. In 1777 he was in Paris, and at the same time the Count St. Germain was Minister of War there. They were well acquainted with each other, and the Count induced Von Steuben to come over to America and offer his sword to Genl. Washington. He did so, was gladly received, and did splendid service in the cause of liberty. Everybody knows that St. Germain was an Adept (he was an incarnate, rebellious fallen angel), and the fact above detailed is set forth in many publications and letters of authentic force. Mr. Dolatram picks up the expression "brother (Benjamin) Franklin." I never heard, nor ever said, that Franklin was a Theosophist. He was a Freemason, and therefore a "brother," so was (George) Washington and (Thomas) Jefferson. A sincere mason will 216

be a just man who reveres liberty and abhors a tyrant. As Krishna (who represented the angel Azazel) says in the Bhagavad-Gita of himself, we may hear the Adept (the rebellious fallen angel) saying: "I am manifested in every age for the purpose of restoring duty and destroying evil doing." (they masquerade as angels of light) Ex Asiatic Theosophist, June, 1884” The following is from an 1890 A.D. article by Judge entitled ‘One of the Signs of the Cycle’: “The people of all nations now turn their eyes to America, and that name for them stands for the United States. Its energy, activity, and freedom hold the imagination of the foreigner, and here he thinks aspirations may be realized, unfettered by the chains of caste, kingly prerogative, or religious restraint. With all that, Europeans often laugh at the newness and crudity of America, yet admiration cannot be withheld for the tremendous nerve power, the facile adaptability, the swift onward rush of the civilization beginning to bloom in the United States. It is the occult forces working in this land and really affecting all men, whether they know it or not, that is the reason.

Men who are not counted seers often see centuries into the future; and Tom Paine, the last who could be called a seer, had one such sight about America, although he called it a thought or "that which he saw with his mind's eye." When he was yet in England he wrote that he seemed to see a great vista opening for the world in the affairs in America. This was before he wrote Common Sense, which, as George Washington said, did more for our independence than any other thing.

Paine was destined to be a great factor in American affairs, and naturally-in the occultist's eyes at least-he would see in advance some slight vision of the "great experiment" in which he was so soon to take an influential share. This experiment was not conceived alone by mortal minds, but is a part of the evolutionary plan, for here the next great movement has already begun and will reach a high development.

Its greatest importance for us is theosophically. We think, quite naturally, that the theosophic ideas and culture are supreme, but if we needed confirmation from the outer barbarians we have it in the latelywritten words of the great Frenchman, Emile Burnouf (1821-1907 A.D.), who said that one of the three great factors in religious development of today is the Theosophical Society. If we assume this to be true, a glance at statistics will point to one of the signs of the cycle.

217

In England there are almost 30 million people, yet for fifteen years the Theosophical Society has not made much progress there. For some years but one branch existed-the London Lodge, and now there are not ten. India has a population of 350,000,000, but if a count were taken we should find that the possible material available for the creation of T.S. (Theosophical Society) Branches would not reach 1,000,000 souls. The reason for this is that out of the whole of 350,000,000 there are an immense number who cannot sympathise with the movement, indeed can hardly know of it, because they are uneducated and unable to speak or read English; the English-speaking Hindu is one who joins us there. And we find in India say 175 active Branches. Turning now to America-to the United States where Theosophy has been promulgated-we can only reckon on a population of say 50,000,000.

Yet those 50,000,000 have furnished us with 36 Branches, and more rapidly coming into existence. Those who work for and in the T.S. (Theosophical Society) in the United States know of the great interest there is in the subject in every part of the country, and can feel quite sure that not only may there very soon be one hundred Branches here, but also that nearly every man, woman, and child will ere long know of the word of Theosophy and of the Society bearing its name. Several causes make this possible in the United States as nowhere else. There is a wider spread of general English education, a more constant reading of newspapers and magazines by all classes from lowest to highest, and a keener spirit of inquiry working in a freer mental atmosphere, than in any other country. The statistics given lead to but one conclusion: they place the possibilities of theosophical growth in the United States ahead of India. Anyone can calculate the proportions in the proposition: given the U.S. with 50 million people and 36 Branches, more than two-thirds of which have been formed within the last three years, and India numbering one million available people and 175 Branches, of which the greater number have been in existence many years, which is greater proportional growth and which gives greater promise for the future? But the analysis must not end here, for the conditions and the people are different. Most of India's people will probably for many centuries remain as they are, some technical idolators, some Jains, some Mohammedans, some Fire worshippers, and some Buddhists. But here the lines of demarcation between the different sects are being shaded into disappearance, there are no great differences of religion and of caste, and people of all avowed religions are daily finding theosophy creeping into their thoughts and their 218

literature. It is a sign of the Cycle; it points to India as the conserver of the ancient wisdom-religion (Theosophy), and to America as its new and vigorous champion who will adopt those old truths without fear of caste or prejudice, and exemplify them through the new race to be brought forth in the old Fifth continent. The careful student of Theosophy will not fail to see that America alone, of all lands, meets all the requirements respecting the problem. "Where is the new race to be born?" H.P. Blavatsky in the Secret Doctrine calls it the Fifth continent, although for the time including Europe under that head.

Here we see the fusion of all races going on before our eyes, and here too is the greatest push of energy, of inquiry, and of achievement.

William Brehon Path, May, 1890” (It must be noted that the Father of Indian independence Mahatma Ghandi (October 2, 1869 – January 30, 1948) and the First Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru (November 14, 1889 – May 27, 1964) were famous historical players who are in fact known to be Indian Theosophical Society members (Theosophical Society Adyar). The loss of much of Britain’s Empire (most importantly the loss of India due to Ghandi’s famous nonviolent exertions) as well as the ravishments inflicted on Britain by Germany during World War II left America pre-eminent on the world scene, inaugurating the new order of the ages).

“Student—Are there any Adepts (rebellious fallen angels) in America or Europe? Sage—Yes, there are and always have been. But they have for the present kept themselves hidden from the public gaze. The real ones have a wide work to do in many departments of life and in preparing certain persons who have a future work to do. Though their influence is wide they are not suspected, and that is the way they want to work for the present…Nothing is omitted by these Adepts. In Europe it is the same way...” - Vernal Blooms (William Quan Judge) “The word “glamour” (deceptio visus) was long ago defined in old dictionaries as “witchery or a charm on the eyes, making them see things differently from what they really are.” (shades of Mission Impossible ©)… This power of glamour is used more often than people think, and not excluding members of the T.S. (the Theosophical Society), by the Adepts (the rebellious fallen angels). They (the angels) are often among us from day to day appearing in a guise we do not recognize, and are dropping ideas into men’s minds…as well as also inciting men and women to good acts (as these 219

implanted “ideas” are put in to action by those who receive them).

By this means they (the angels) pass unrecognized and are able to accomplish more...” - Vernal Blooms (William Quan Judge) The following is from an 1892 A.D. article in Lucifer entitled ‘On the Furture: A Few Reflections’: "It seems as if some power (‘power’ is a word synonymous with ‘angel’), deliberately planning, had selected North and South America for the place where a new primary root-race should be begun (America is indeed a ‘melting pot’ of races and cultures). These two continents were evidently the seats of ancient races and not the habitat of wild undeveloped men. The red man of the Northern one has all the appearance and beliefs of a once great race. He believes in one God, a Devachan** of happy hunting after death. Some tribes have diagrams of how the world was formed and peopled, that strangely resemble Hindû cosmogony, and their folklore bears deep marks of having come down from an older and better time. Following the course of exploration southwards, we find accumulating evidences all the way of a prior civilization now gone with the cyclic wave which brought it up.

Central America is crowded with remains in stone and brick; and so on south still we discover similar proofs. In course of time these continents became what might be called arable land, lying waiting, recuperating, until the European streams of men began to pour upon it.

The Spanish overflowed South America and settled California and Mexico; the English, French, and Spanish took the North, and later all nations came, so that now in both continents nearly every race is mixed and still mixing. Chinese even have married women of European blood; Hindûs are also here; the ancient Parsî race has its representatives; the Spanish mixed with the aborigines, and the slaveholders with the Africans. I doubt not but that someone from every race known to us has been here and has left, within the last two hundred years, some impression through mixture of blood…But no America as we now know it will exist. Yet these men must be the descendants of the race that is now rising here. Otherwise our philosophy is all wrong. So then, in America now is forming the new sub-race, and in this land was founded the present Theosophical Society: two matters of great importance. It was to the United States, observe, that the messenger (the word ‘angel’ is synonymous with ‘messenger’) of the Masters (angels) came, although Europe was just 220

as accessible for the enterprise set on foot. Later, this messenger went to India and then to Europe, settling down in the British Isles. All of this is of importance in our reflections. For why in America at first does she begin the movement, and why end her part of it in England?

One might be led to ask why was not an effort made at all costs to give the last impulse outwardly in the land of promise where she began the work? Do not imagine for one moment, O ye English brothers of mine, that London was selected for this because the beauties of your island called her, or for that she had decided at the finish that after all a mistake had been made in not going there first. It was all out of stern necessity, with a wisdom derived from many older heads, having in view the cycles as they sweep restlessly forward. The point where the great energy is started, the centre of force, is the more important, and not the place at which it is ended. And this remains true, no matter how essential the place of ending may be in the scheme. What, do you suppose India is not as important? and would not that land have offered seemingly a better spot than all for the beginning of the magnum opus? Adepts (the rebellious fallen angels) do not make mistakes like that. America's discovery is ascribed to Christopher Columbus. Although it is doubted, yet no one doubts that the Spanish people did the most at first in peopling it, meanwhile working off some old and making some new Karma, by killing many of the aborigines. Thus it is that doomed people rush on to their doom, even as the troops of insects, animals and men were seen by Arjuna to rush into Krishna's flaming mouths. But later came the sturdy stock from England, who, in the greatest nation, the most enduring on this continent, have left their impress indelibly in the people, in its laws, in its constitution, its customs, its literature and language. Perhaps England and Ireland are the gateways for the Egos (read: fallen angels) who incarnate here in the silent work of making a new race. Maybe there is some significance in the fact that more lines of steamships conveying human freight come to the United States from England, passing Ireland on the way as the last seen land of the old world, than from anywhere else. The deeds of men, the enterprises of merchants, and the wars of soldiers all follow implicitly a law that is fixed in the stars, and while they copy the past they ever symbolize the future. Did H. P. B. (Helena P. Blavatsky) only joke when she wrote in her book that Ireland is an ancient Atlantean remnant, and England a younger Isle, whose rising from the sea was watched by wise men (Magi) from Erin's shore? Perhaps the people of that old land may have an 221

important influence in the new race of America. It would appear from comparison that they might have had, and probably will in the future.

Perhaps, politically, since many expect social disturbances in America.

In such a case any student of character will admit that the Irish, ignorant or not, will stand for law and order - for her sons are not battling here with an ancient foe. Why, too, by strange freak of fate is the great stone of destiny in Westminster Abbey fixed under the coronation chair on which the Queen was crowned? Let us also be informed if there be any finger-shadow pointing to the future in the fact that England's Queen, crowned over that stone, is Empress of India, from which we claim the Aryans came, and where their glorious long-forgotten knowledge is preserved? Her name is Victory (Victoria). It is the victory for "the new order of Ages"; and that new order began in America…For in America those whose Karma has led them there will work for the same end and brotherhood as others left in India and Europe. The dominant language and style of thought in America is English, albeit transforming itself every day. It is there that silently the work goes on…” - William Q. Judge, F.T.S. Lucifer, March, 1892” (** Devachan, from where originate the devas/angels, represents the New Earth: “The word Devachan is the theosophical name for heaven (read: the New Earth), and, literally translated, means the shining land, or the Land of the Gods (or rather, I might say, the land of the ‘shining ones’). (Devasthan, the place of the Gods, is the Sanskrit equivalent. It is the Svarga of the Hindus ; the Sukhâvati of the Buddhists; the Heaven of the Zoroastrians and Christians, and of the less materialised among the Mohammedans).” - Chapter V The Ancient Wisdom by Annie Besant)

Freemasonry is part of what is known as The Theosophical Movement: “The Theosophical Movement (the creation of which was influenced by the rebellious fallen angels) being continuous, it is to be found in all times and in all nations. Wherever thought has struggled to be free, wherever spiritual ideas, as opposed to forms and dogmatism, have been promulgated, there the great movement is to be discerned. Jacob Boehme's work was a part of it, and so also was the Theosophical Society of over one hundred years ago; (Martin) Luther's reformation (made possible through the secret Rosicrucian Society, Rosicrucianism being known as ‘the great reformation of Occultism in the West.” See p. 105 Ritual Magic of the Golden Dawn, King, 1987) must be reckoned as a portion of it; and the great struggle between Science and Religion, clearly portrayed by Draper (as related in History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science by John William Draper, M.D.; 1910 A.D.)), was every bit as much a motion of the Theosophical Movement as is the present Society of that name - indeed that struggle, and the freedom thereby gained for science, were really as important in the advance of the world, as are our different organizations. And among political examples of the movement is 222

to be counted the Independence of the American colonies, ending in the formation of a great nation, theoretically based on Brotherhood. One can therefore see that to worship an organization, even though it be the beloved theosophical one, is to fall down before Form (a reference to the god Khoronzon, who is Azazel, known as the ‘Master of Form’ in the Enochian magic system), and to become the slave once more of that dogmatism which our portion of the Theosophical Movement, the T.S. (the Theosophical Society), was meant to overthrow. Some members have worshipped the so-called "Theosophical Society," thinking it to be all in all, and not properly perceiving its de facto and piecemeal character as an organization nor that it was likely that this devotion to mere form would lead to a nullification of Brotherhood at the first strain. And this latter, indeed, did occur with several members. They even forgot, and still forget, that H. P. Blavatsky herself declared that it were better to do away with the (Theosophical) Society rather than to destroy Brotherhood, and that she herself declared the European part of it free and independent. These worshippers think that there must be a continuance of the old form (magic based?) in order for the (Theosophical) Society to have an international character. But the real unity and prevalence, and the real internationalism, do not consist in having a single organization. They are found in the similarity of aim, of aspiration, of purpose, of teaching, of ethics. Freemasonry a great and important part of the true Theosophical Movement - is universally international; and yet its organizations are numerous, autonomous, sovereign, independent. The Grand Lodge of the state of New York, including its different Lodges, is independent of all others in any state, yet every member is a Mason and all are working on a single plan. Freemasons over all the world belong to the great International Masonic Body, yet they have everywhere their free and independent government. The American Group, being by geographical and other conditions outwardly separate, began the change so as to be in government free and independent, but in basis, aspiration, aim and work united with all true Theosophists.

Path, August, 1895” – ‘The Theosophical Movement’ (“The Habsburg realm became internally divided when the German princes of the Empire had largely supported the Protestant movement against the Catholic Church, which was ostensibly defended by the Habsburg rulers. The rising tide of the Protestant movement came to a head in Bohemia, where the Kabbalistic underground surfaced in the manner of the Order of the Rosicrucians, otherwise known as the Order of the Rosy Cross. The ultimate aim of the Order was that of abolishing the (Roman Catholic) Church, and replacing it with a government of “wise” rulers (a priesthood of wisemen/Magi, invokers of fallen angels. This movement lives on at the Bohemian Grove, from which it derives its name in part). As explained by occult historian Laurence Gardner (Bloodline of the Holy Grail, p. 306): ‘It was by no chance that Martin Luther’s protest gained support in some very influential circles, for Rome had many enemies in high places. Not the least of these enemies were the Knights Templars, and the underground Hermetic societies whose esoteric crafts (such as magic and witchcraft) had been condemned by the Catholic Inquisition. The truth was not so much that Luther gained the support of others, but that he was the willing instrument of an already active movement (such ‘movement’ being known as the Theosophical Movement) which endeavored to dismantle the rigid international domination of the Pope.’” – Terrorism and the Illuminati: A Three Thousand Year History (David Livingstone))

The Theosophical Society is one of the latest players amongst a greater Theosophical Movement of which the Freemasonic and 223

Rosicrucian movements were a part: “The Theosophical Society, in its brief history, has produced a vast field of literature embracing science, philosophy and religion—as well as mysticism and occultism. The Secret Doctrine by Madame H.P. Blavatsky is an almost inexhaustible source. Besides the Theosophical Society, there are other contemporary movements which emphasize some particular phase of this universal teaching: The Christian Mystics, the Rosicrucian Fellowship, the Masonic Order, to name only a few.” - PREFACE from The Theosophical Seal (Arthur M. Coon) “Europe is a large place but the world is bigger yet. The sun of Theosophy must shine for all, not for a part. There is more of this movement than you have yet had an inkling of, and the work of the T.S. (Theosophical Society) is linked in with similar work that is secretly going on in all parts of the world” (it a conspiracy on a global scale, a body composed of many cells; concerning the modern outcry against conspiracy theorists, methinks the madame doth protest too much). - The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett Letter No. 47 (received 1882 A.D.) These secret societies embarked upon The Great Work. The Great Work was “the mystery of lawlessness” which was “already at work” (hence the name, The Great Work) in the time of Jesus, albeit in the form of its original Masonic incarnation: “Now concerning the (Second) coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first (a reference to the American Revolution of 1776), and the man of lawlessness (a reference to the beast with the mortal wound that was healed) is revealed (takes office), the son of perdition…the mystery of lawlessness (this term “the mystery of lawlessness” is in reference to the coming of the lawless one, that is, of the beast with the mortal wound that was healed, by the activity of the rebel angel Satan. See 2Thessalonians 2:9) is already at work (the coming of the lawless one, that is, of the beast with the mortal wound that was healed, was a scheme of Satan already in the works at the time of Jesus); only he (a reference to the American Presidential winner of 2012 A.D.) who now restrains it (who now restrains the revealing of the lawless one) will do so until he is out of the way (until he dies or is incapacitated, unable to finish out his fully elected term).

224

And then the lawless one (the beast with the mortal wound that was healed) will be revealed (then the beast with the mortal wound that was healed will assume office as a matter of succession)…” 2Thessalonians 2:1,3,7,8

“In time there came degradation of the Mysteries (these Mysteries were centered around knowledge concerning the existence of the rebellious fallen angels), and the inner light and life (the knowledge conveyed by the Mysteries) were largely withdrawn from them, yet they did not entirely die. In spite of the (Roman Catholic) Church, all through the darkest times when anyone who was suspected of unorthodoxy was relentlessly persecuted, when it would seem that knowledge was dead, and that anything like intellectual progress was impossible, there were nevertheless certain half-secret societies which carried on something of the tradition and the (great) work. There were the Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians of the Middle Ages, the Knights of Light, the Brothers of Asia, and many another occult body.

It is true that in many of these there seems to have been but little knowledge, and even that heavily veiled; yet then, as ever, it remained true that there were always in the background those who knew, so that those who earnestly sought the Truth have always been able to find it.”

- Some Glimpses of Occultism (C.W. Leadbeater) The Theosophical Society claims to even have played a part in sowing the seeds for war in Europe: “It is true that in that Theosophical Society we had a foretaste of this endeavour to dominate the world, for the German section of the Theosophical Society rose against the rest of it (he speaks of course of the intrigues of Rudolf Steiner; unsuccessful in this endeavor, Steiner, along with the entire German section of the Theosophical Society, broke away and formed the German Anthroposophical Society in 1913 A.D.) and tried to obtain supreme power in the (Theosophical) Society some years ago, before this war (World War I) was in sight. They employed exactly the same weapons that are now being employed by the political agents of the German press: the same unscrupulous lies, the same discovery of spies in all sorts of unexpected places. We in the Theosophical Society went through—on paper of course mainly— a small edition of this attempt to capture the whole organization (which attempt was a typical example of an intelligence undercover 225

organizational takeover commonly practiced by the secretive intelligence networks through which the angels work). We did not understand then; the utter unscrupulousness of it all astounded us.

Now we see that it was only part of the whole German scheme—an attempt to get hold of a world-wide Society, through which something might have been done to help the German plan of world-domination.

Fortunately, the scheme was defeated, with all its attendant calumny and treachery” (unscrupulous in their entirety, the fallen angels will not hesitate to play one group off against another in furtherance of there aims. Contrary to popular Theosophical belief, they are not friends of humankind; their aim is its ultimate destruction). - Occult View of War (C.W. Leadbeater) (Hitler did, however, gain control of a society in Germany from whence he could launch his scheme of world-domination. The Vril Society (also known as The Luminous Lodge) was a secret society founded in Berlin, Germany, by a group of Berlin Rosicrucians being based on author Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel The Coming Race (circa 1871 A.D.) about an advanced group of men (read: incarnate angels;; ‘Underground Supermen’) said to be residing within the Earth and of who it is said will later emerge to rule over the world, which story was based on the story of the rebellious fallen angel Azazel.

Indeed, this novel was, as we learn from the words of Bulwer-Lytton, predicated on: “The superstitious belief, common to miners, that gnomes or fiends dwell within the bowels of the earth,” the gnomes being folkloric representations, of course, of Azazel and his group of fallen angels entrapped within the earth. The Vril Society would later become the inner circle of the Thule Society. The Thule Society was the organization that sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (The German Workers Party) which was later transformed by Adolf Hitler into the Nazi Party. Hitler too, claimed to be in contact with these ‘Underground Supermen.’ It must be noted the swastika symbol adopted by the Nazi Party is an element in the design of the Theosophical Society Seal. Of an interesting note, Annie Besant in Adyar Pamphlet No. 30 entitled Communication between Different Worlds calls the Theosophical Society “the nucleus of the Coming Race.” In another pamphlet Besant confides: “Watch the lists as they come out in the picture-papers, especially of Europe; you will find every week faces of almost boys, young fellows, 18, 19 and 20 — so many below 30 years of age. England has given up her children till now by voluntary offering, and not by force of conscription. They are seeing that the flower of the Nation is being destroyed, the best of the Nation are being killed, those who are noblest, most self-sacrificing, they are being swept away in this frightful War (World War I). What is England to do, the people cry, for the births of the coming generation, when the best and the noblest are taken away? We look at it from a different standpoint. We say that these answer the call of the Lord Vaivasvata Manu (read: the angel Azazel), who needs the noblest for the building of "the coming race." They do not die, when their bodies are struck away by shrapnel, by rifle, by high explosive. What matters the killing of the body? The man is set free, and by virtue of his sacrifice, by the fact that he has given up all the joys of his young manhood, all ambitions, everything that makes life joyous, all the young strength of manhood — by that tremendous sacrifice he has sprung forward in evolution, he has answered the call of the Manu (the call of Azazel, the god of war), whether he knows it or not.” – The Coming Race (Adyar Pamphlets No.76 written by Annie Besant, 1917A.D.)

It is of the fallen rebellious angels of which George S. Arundale, as General Secretary of the Theosophical Society in England and Wales, speaks when he writes: “Mr. (D.N.) Dunlop asks us to 226

remember in these times of stress and turmoil (he is writing during World War I when England was at war with Germany) that the great Fathers of the world (the rebellious angels) watch over us (a play on the word ‘Watchers’) as They have ever done, that there is open to us the same ancient and narrow way to communion with Them (communication with these angels) as has existed from time immemorial, testimony to the existence of which may be found in the Scriptures of every world religion. We are told of the existence of Masters (the rebellious angels), our Elder Brethren, Those who have learned the lessons we are learning now, and Who have dedicated Themselves to the task of guiding us along the road Their feet have already trodden.” - Forward to The Path of Attainment by D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D. According to 33° Freemason and Theosophical Society member C.W. Leadbeater: “Prince (Otto von) Bismarck…had considerable occult knowledge…Speaking of the War (World War I), he said that if we (British Theophosists) were servants of the Hierarchy (of the rebellious fallen angels) and students of Occultism we must know that Germany was in the right…Further, he said that if we (British Theophosists) ourselves served the true inner Government of the world (consisting of the rebellious fallen angels) we must know that it (the true inner Government of the world, the rebellious fallen angels) is the very opposite of all democratic theories, and that therefore it is Germany, and not England, who is fighting for the ideals of the hierarchical Government (fighting for the ideologies of the fallen angels)…If any should be inclined to doubt that a whole nation can be so obsessed from behind (by the rebellious fallen angels), a nation which has a great deal that is beautiful in its past history, which has produced some really fine people - if any should be disposed to doubt that, let him take the official German statements, and read the proclamations of His Imperial Majesty the Kaiser; the proclamations in which he speaks of himself (and probably he believes it) as commissioned by God to govern the world; in which he says: "On me the spirit of God has descended. I guard my whole task as appointed by heaven. Who opposes me I shall crush to pieces…Unquestionably it is true that the powers (angels are called ‘powers’) from behind are working through these people now…This is the real explanation of all that seems so incomprehensible; these people that fight us are 227

not fighting only of themselves. They are directed by a power (read: angel) of will far stronger than their own, and they are driven on to do awful things. They are willing enough to be driven, for that is all part of the obsession. The men (the incarnate rebel angels) who drive them are utterly unscrupulous, and will use any means whatever to gain their end, for they know nothing of what we mean by right or wrong. They hold it as a manly duty to kill our all emotion or sympathy, because they consider such feelings a weakness.

They are pitiless, exactly as a shark is. The slaughter or torture of thousands or millions is nothing whatever to them, so long as they gain their end…We are all trying, so far as may be, to prepare

for the coming of the Great Teacher (the False Prophet Azazel). Realize that this great War (World War I) is part of the world-preparation, and that, however terrible it may be, there is yet the other side - the enormous good that is being done to individuals (evolutionarily speaking, of course). Perhaps in the distant future when we come to look back upon it all with greater knowledge and with wider purview, we shall see that the good has outweighed all the frightful evil, and that though the old order changeth, giving place to new (the New World Order), it is only that God may fulfill Himself in many ways.” - Occult View of War (C.W. Leadbeater) (“…the message of the

Coming of the Teacher—the Jagad Guru (which literally means the Guru of the world)(the World Teacher), or any other name that you like to call Him by—that Coming of the Teacher is the latest message that the Theo-sophical Society has given to the world.” – Duties of the Theosophist (Annie Besant)) (According to the Share

International Foundation website circa. the 21st Century A.D., the “World Teacher” Maitreya “has been expected for generations by all the major religions…Although the names differ, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher (the false prophet Azazel), whose personal name is Maitreya.”)

All theosophists, whether German, English, or otherwise, were all striving toward the completion of the very same goal, to prepare for the coming of the Great Teacher who is the False Prophet Azazel whom they will hold to be the coming conquering Messiah, in order to establish Azazel’s reign upon the Earth, through the establishment of a New World Order! This is their ultimate goal of the greater Theosophical Movement.

In order to further understand the prophecies concerning the beast with the mortal wound that was healed, we must first consider Daniel’s prophecies concerning the United Nations. The book of 228

Daniel describes four beasts, each of which are different from one another. The following Biblical reference to a lion with eagles’ wings being plucked off is a pictographic prophecy referring to the American colonies gaining their independence from England. This is the rebellion described in 2Thessalonians above. England is represented by the lion and the eagles’ wings are a representation of the United States. The lion standing on two feet (the Lion Rampant, a symbol of Azazel) is depicted on the English coat of arms, more specifically that of Wales, and symbolizes the English monarchy: “Daniel said, ‘I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. And four beasts came out of the sea, different from one another. The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked, its wings were plucked off, and it (the lion) was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man (as a Lion Rampant, the symbol of Britain),’ …” - Daniel 7:2-3,4 Daniel then goes on to describe Russia: “And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear.” - Daniel 7:5 The beast like a leopard, the third beast, is a reconstitution of the old Roman Empire, that is, the countries it once incorporated, which is for the most part today’s European Union. This beast also includes the Middle East and North Africa (in the form of the Union for the Mediterranean), lands conquered by the legions of the Caesars.

The four wings of a bird on its back symbolizes the sign of the Euro, the European Union’s monetary unit: “After this I looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back…” - Daniel 7:6 The following scripture found in the book of Hosea is a reference to the very selfsame beasts just described in Daniel 7:2-6 and prophesies the invasion of Israel by a U.N. force during a seven-year covenant (of 2009-2016 A.D.), the covenant mentioned in Isaiah 28:15 (this may be a secret treaty such as that secretly signed during World War II which carved up the lands of Germany amongst the victors.

Much these days is done in secret). The invasion it prophesies occurs 229

in 2013 A.D. (for details, see Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles: “…they (Israel) forgot me (God). So I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard I will lurk beside the way, I will fall upon her like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rend them.” - Hosea 13:6,78 (See also Lamentations 3:10-11)

“A bear robbed of her cubs” prophesies Russia in the period following the collapse of the Soviet Union. At that time Russia lost its empire. She is indeed a bear robbed of her cubs. The Russian bear lost its cub-like satellite states at the end of the Cold War. It must be noted the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1989 A.D. opened the way for America’s war with Iraq in 1991 A.D. (Authors Note: the modern state of Iraq incorporates the area where Azazel is entrapped beneath the earth).

For the lion with plucked off wings (the British/American beast), World War II begins with the British declaration of war against Germany in 1939 A.D. and formally ends with America’s official termination of the war by President Truman in 1946 A.D., a period spanning seven numerical years (1946-1939=7). These dates are very important. Seventy years after 1939 A.D. brings us to 2009 A.D., the beginning of the infamous seven-year covenant with death (a secret treaty) as related in Isaiah 28:15. Seventy years after 1946 A.D. is 2016 A.D., the year of the advent of the Second Coming of Christ (as well as the year of Azazel’s release). It should be noted that the time between the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. and the destruction of the Rebuilt Temple in 2016 A.D. is precisely 1946 years!).

The lion with plucked off wings (Britain and offshoot America), the bear (Russia) and the leopard (the lands constituting the old Roman Empire, including modern day Europe (the EU), the Middle East and North Africa (The Union for the Mediterranean) are combined into a fourth hated beast, the United Nations (the Union for the Mediterranean was launched with what can only be described as extremely little fanfare of an almost secretive nature on July 13/14 2008 A.D.). The United Nations is an abomination in the sight of God and the requisite seventy years is ordained till its destruction. On January 10, 1946 the U.N. held its first session of the United Nations 230

General Assembly including representatives from 51 nations representing 4/5 of the world’s population. The fourth beast of Daniel began its reign (“…and the beast (the U.N.) had four heads;; and dominion was given to it.” - Daniel 7:6) While the U.N. beast was incepted in 1945 A.D., dominion, as prophesied in Daniel 7:6, was not given it until 1946 A.D. It must be mentioned the so-called Quartet on the Middle East devoted to the mediation of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process at this present time include America, Russia, the European Union (including Great Britain) and last but not least in Biblical significance the United Nations, an organization of which these Biblical beasts are themselves part and parcel. These nations play prominent roles in Biblical endtime prophecies.

Some, such as the Theosophists of the Theosophical Sociey, portray Azazel as being the Ascended Master (World Teacher) ‘Maitreya. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is techinically an offshoot of the Theosophical Society through alliances formed by ousted former Thesophical Society President Anna Kingsford. Aleister Crowley, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, invoked the rebellious fallen angel Azazel under the guise of Choronzon (also known as Khoronzon, the Master of Form in the Enochian Magic system of Dr. John Dee), the Angel of the Abyss and alternatively as Ra-Hoor-Khuit. One of Aleister Crowley’s professed goals (and hence of all practitioners of Magick) is the “establishment of the Kingdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit (read: Azazel) upon the earth” (See De Arte Magica). This was one of the goals of what was known as The Great Work. One must remember Theosophical Society founding member William Q. Judge’s revelation: “The Theosophical Society was founded in New York in 1875, with the avowed object of forming a nucleus for a Universal Brotherhood, and its founders state that they believe the Indian Mahatmas (read: the rebellious fallen angels) directed them to establish such a society.” Echoes from the Orient Chapter I (William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.)

It must be noted the Theosophical Society was founded by a group which included magic-practicing Freemasons.

The Theosophical Society was at its establishment the latest incarnation in a long string of movements (which began with the placement of the cornerstone, of the very first brick in the masonary construct which 231

was the legendary Tower of Babel in year 1 A.L. on the Masonic Calendar in 4000 B.C.) and which was established through the direct actions of the rebellious fallen angels as part of a larger movement known as the Theosophical Movement for the express purpose of reestablishing the now-interred rebellious fallen angel Azazel’s reign upon our Earth. This is a mystery most profound! The angels work through secretive societies within a corporate structure to make humans do their will, by most, unknowingly: “The Rosicrucian fraternity, the Freemasons, (the Ancient Order of) Foresters, are all remnants of former endeavours to inculcate and implant the Wisdom-Religion (Theosophy) in the hearts of men.” Modern Theosophy: An Outline of Its Principles (Claude Falls Wright, FTS, 1894 A.D.)

In The Lost Keys of Freemasonry (1923 A,D,) Manly P. Hall states Freemasons “must realize that the ancient mystic (Author’s note: the word ‘mystic’ is synonymous with ‘magic’) teachings as perpetuated in the modern (Freemasonic) rites (rituals) are sacred (being based on ancient religious systems), and that powers (read: angels) unseen and unrecognized (Hall refers to Ephesians 6:12) mold the destiny of those who consciously and of their own free will take upon themselves the obligations of the Fraternity (of Freemasonry).” Satan is ‘the Spirit of Freemasonry’ who influences the lives of such Freemasonic men through his use of the spirit of error. The Freemasonic order is wrongly regarded as a secular organization, and skirts the Constitution’s injunction mandating a separation of church and state: “Although today Masons do not call their Craft a religion, it has nevertheless a religious origin” – The Hidden Life in Freemasonry (C.W. Leadbeater). Albert Pike writes in the Legenda: “Masonry has and always had a religious creed.” Pike also informs us: “Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion.”

Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.).

L. Fouquet in Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry Part II (1898 A.D.) identifies Albert Pike as being the “King and Pope of the Freemasons.” He explains: “We have enough of Masonic quotations to form a pretty fair idea of Charleston (South Carolina) and its Pope (who is Albert Pike) aping Rome and the (Roman Catholic) Pope…Rome is the Mother Church of all other churches (dioceses); 232

likewise Charleston is the Mother of all (Freemasonic) Supreme Councils. The Bishop of the Mother Church of Rome has the primacy over all the other churches (dioceses), over their bishops and their diocesans; likewise the Grand Commander of the Mother Supreme Council of Charleston has the primacy over all the other Supreme Councils, their subordinate lodges, and their members…Likewise there were Pikeans (those who supported Albert Pike) who believed in the primacy of the Grand Commander of the Mother Supreme Council, of Charleston, and were in alliance and submission to the uncrowned King and the untiared Pope (who was Albert Pike), as were the future King of Great Britain and future Emperor of India, with many British peers.” He goes on to note: “The late Albert Pike, of Charleston, as an able Mason, was undoubtedly a Masonic pope, who kept in leading strings all the Supreme Grand Councils of the world, including the (Freemasonic) Supreme Grand Councils of England, Ireland and Scotland, the first of which includes the Prince of Wales, Lord Lathom and other peers, who were in alliance with him and in actual submission.” He concludes: “Does not the Vicar of Satan in the secret society (of Freemasons) in which is offered, since the Middle Ages, the Black Mass, deserve the title of 'Satanic Pope'?” (Of the Freemasons, the Roman Catholic Pope Pius VIII writes: “Lying is their rule, Satan is their God, and shameful deeds their sacrifice.” - Traditae Humilitati Nostrae (Pope Pius VIII, 1829 A.D.)) (“That which we (Freemasons) must say to a 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 initates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay whose deeds prove his cruelty, perdify and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer (Satan) 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: darkness being necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer (Satan), the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer (Satan), God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.” - Albert Pike, 33° Freemason: Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World, July 14, 1889. Recorded by A.C. De La Rive in La Femme et l'Enfant dans la FrancMaconnerie Universelle on page 588)

Theosophist author Claude Falls Wright speaks of the greater Theosophical Movement circa 1894 A.D.: “…all great philosophers and thinkers who have offered any explanation of life, the founders of every great religion, have been Theosophists, and, we affirm, have all taught, consciously or 233

unconsciously to themselves, some aspect or other of the vast system which has been so roughly outlined in this volume. Christian writers ascribe the development of the ancient Eclectic Theosophical System to the third century of their era; but there were Theosophists before that time. Diogenes Laertius speaks of the philosophy as antedating the (Grecian) dynasty of the Ptolemies (in Egypt), disclosing its founder in the Egyptian Hierophant, Pot Amun - a Coptic name, signifying a priest consecrated to Amun, the god of wisdom (who is Azazel).

History shows its revival in the Eclectic System of (the Greek Alexandrian philosopher) Ammonius Saccas (one of the founders of Neoplatonism, a union of Egyptian and Greek philosophies), in whose time (in the 3rd Century AD) certainly the word Theosophy originated.

The object of this philosopher was almost identical with our own- to reconcile all sects, peoples and nations under one common faith, and to establish a belief in one Supreme, Eternal, Unknown and Unnamed Power or Principle, through which the Universe came into being, and by which it was governed with immutable and eternal laws. Again, we find Theosophists in Germany in the 12th century, holding identical views of life and working to the same end, and also in the 15th century (the Rosicrucians). There was a society formed in London in or about the year 1665, which strove after a like purpose (a reference to the Royal Society of London, originally comprised of a group of scientists known as the Invisible College, one of whose members was Irelandborn Sir Hans Sloane, whose collection of manuscripts upon his death became the foundation of the British Museum, his collection including many mediaeval magic manuscripts whose collection constituted a wealthy ceremonial magician’s personal library. Sloane it would seem was attempting to corner the market on unique extant magic grimoires employed by various lone infamous Medieval magicians amassed into one major collection—the ultimate magic library! It was this ceremonial magician’s grand magic library around which the walls of the British Museum were built. The Invisible College, and later the Royal Society, were themselves outgrowths of the Hartlib Circle (which included Robert Boyle and William Petty. Might one venture to call it a ‘magic circle’?) of the Francis Bacon inspired German polymath Samuel Hartlib (Hartlib was a friend of John Milton, author of Paradise Lost, the book which had later so fired the imagination of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant (as well as must be added, one of the major inspirations for her personal rebellion against God), who 234

professedly “would go out and study all day at the British Museum.”). Hartlib had unsuccessfully sought public funding for the research institute envisioned in Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis.

Concerning the Invisible College: “The Invisible College was a precursor to the Royal Society of the United Kingdom. It consisted of a group of natural philosophers (scientists) including Robert Boyle (Boyle was an alchemist/chemist and Rosicrucian Grand Master of the Priory of Sion), John Wilkins, John Wallis, John Evelyn, Robert Hooke (Fellow of the Royal Society), Christopher Wren (Freemason; builder of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London;; Fellow of the Royal Society) and William Petty. In letters in 1646 and 1647, Boyle refers to “our invisible college” or “our philosophical college.” The society’s common theme was to acquire knowledge through experimental investigation…The idea of an invisible college became influential in seventeenth century Europe, in particular, in the form of a network of savants or intellectuals exchanging ideas…The invisible college idea is exemplified by the network of astronomers, professors, mathematicians, and natural philosophers in 16th century Europe. Men such as Johannes Kepler, Georg Joachim Rheticus, John Dee and Tycho Brahe passed information and ideas to each other in an invisible college.” – Wikipedia. Included in the shared information was the subject of magic! Due to persecutions by the Church, men devised such secret institutions for instruction and development). All these, not to speak of the host of seers (the so-called Christian mystics) who have appeared from time to time, of the (Emmanuel) Swedenborg and (Jacob) Bohme type, whose explanation of nature differed but in minor detail from that offered by the modern Theosophists. Theosophy is the Wisdom-Religion, the archaic philosophy which was the fount of knowledge in every ancient country having claims to civilization, and from which have descended in less mystic garb the sciences of the present day known to the professors of our colleges as Chemistry, Astronomy, etcs. However much said professors may object to the statement. But whether known as Theosophy or by any other name, the same Wisdom-Religion has existed always and will show itself on earth and among men for all eternity: the sequence of martyrs to the great universal truths has never once been broken; known or unknown they will appear and suffer again and again, ever adding to their ranks however, until some day, at the birth of the purified seventh race, mankind will reawaken to find the chair of materialistic philosophy vacant and decayed. It was said 235

in another part of this work that about once every hundred years special efforts to regenerate mankind are made by those in whose guardianship is the philosophy, and a retrospective glance would show where many of these have been undertaken and under whose management. But to trace them all completely would now be a difficult task, for the simple reason that all have not been made in the shape of public movements. They have been in a manner suitable to the exigencies of the times. It is only in our cycle that an open attempt has been made, and this for the reason that the age demands it.

Formerly work was often done through kings and rulers, instead of through public movements, because people had then less independence and the king held more the position of dictator than he does in this age.

We constantly hear of wise men, alchemists, soothsayers, appearing at various courts and working marvels sufficient to attract the attention and wonder of the monarch. These, however, were but their outward signs; in truth they worked to other ends than miracles. They often influenced the prince’s mind (through their use of ELF waves), so that he altered his method of ruling his kingdom, thereby perhaps bringing about results which not only affected his own subjects, but, by reaction, the peoples of other countries, and afterwards the world as a whole. But although it is for these reasons hard to trace the uprising of all such efforts, yet with some we have no difficulty.

Toward the end of the 14th century we may place the founding of the later Rosicrucian fraternity (“do you imagine that there were no mystic solemn unions of men, seeking the same end through the same means, before the Arabians of Damus, in 1378, taught to a wandering Jew the secrets which founded the institution of the Rosicrucians?" Bulwer Lytton in Zanoni), one of the brightest and most successful of bodies of philosophers, although a secret one. The labours of (Christian mystic) Jacob Boehme and of his teacher, John George Gichtel, had their effect at the close of the 17th century. (In 1672, when Louis XIV, laid siege, to Amsterdam, Gichtel, by the power of his will, is reported by his disciples to have exercised influence enough to cause the raising of the siege, and afterwards the names of the very regiments and squadrons he had seen in his vision were found in the papers.

Princes of Germany and even sovereigns consulted him."). The one however which comes nearest to our own time is that which directly preceded the Theosophical Society, at the close of the 18th century of the Christian era. This was the famous "Société de l'Harmonie," founded by (Anton) Mesmer (a Freemason and Martinist) in Paris in 236

1783. The success of these efforts is not, it should be remembered, any more absolutely certain than is anything else in nature. The Adepts (rebellious fallen angels) are not infallible. Their extended insight into the workings of natural law enables them to place the cause farther back, the effect further forward, than our more limited vision permits us to. But this is all they claim. The mistakes of one century are corrected in the efforts of the next, so that in course of time they may lessen enormously with respect, at least, to that race whose development is being forwarded; but so long as there is a limitation of vision, finity- and work on the material plane of necessity implies such, there must be error. The effort of last century was a failure because of the too socialistic aspect of the mystical doctrine put forward. There was a definite teaching albeit a secret one- similar to Theosophy as now known, given to the members of (Anton) Mesmer’s society. But the true philosophy did not come to the front.

“Fraternité, Liberté, Egalité” constituted the only philosophy the people of the period would listen to. Hence the Reign of Terror of 1794 (in France during the French Revolution). Even such as Count St.Germain and the wonder-working Cagliostro (June 2, 1743 – August 26, 1795; Alessandro Cagliostro was an Italian/Sicilian magicpracticing Freemason. Pope Pius VI accused him of threatening the very survival of the Catholic Church (See The Seven Ordeals of Count Cagliostro: The Greatest Enchanter of the Eighteenth Century by Iain McCalman (2003 A.D.)). From Sicily emerged the secret brotherhood

known as Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian mafia, which emerged during the mid 19th Century), the successor of Mesmer (May 23, 1734 – March 5, 1815. Mesmer was the father of hypnosis and master of the trance. To him we owe thanks for the word ‘mesmerize’), could not stay the torrent of materialism; they were laughed at, and accounted charlatans and falsifiers (by, amongst others as in Mesmer’s case, curiously enough, Benjamin Franklin acting under the auspices of the Royal Society of England). In her "Theosophical Glossary" (article Mesmer) Madame Blavatsky (circa 1892 A.D.) says: "Of these three men (St Germain, Mesmer, Cagliostro) who were at first regarded as quacks, Mesmer is already vindicated. The justification of the two others will follow in the next century (1892)…Of course each movement makes use as far as possible of the work of its predecessors; so that, for instance, the "revival of Freemasonry" has become almost a byword, nobody being able to tell exactly when or where the craft had its origin or founding (Freemasonry, like witchcraft, is known as ‘the craft,’ as 237

both are known to delve in magic). The same thing may be said of Rosicrucianism, and indeed of Theosophy itself. It is therefore not surprising, in view of the fact that Cagliostro and others worked to reestablish lodges of Freemasonry, to find H.P.Blavatsky, the nineteenth century messenger, offering herself at the outset of her career as the new leader of the Freemasons. This she did before 1875 to some of the heads of the craft (to the heads of the Freemasons) in America, naming herself as the messenger from the eastern Brotherhood. It was but the Karma of Freemasonry, which was the movement that had been carried over from the last century to the present one. But even if the Freemasons had wished to accept her as their head, they could not have done so, since the traditions of that Fraternity militate against the admission of women. This was probably a later introduction than the days of Cagliostro, who is said to have organized more than one "lodge" composed entirely of women.

Madame Blavatsky's services being declined, she set to work to form the nucleus of a new body. Gathering together some of those on earth who had previously worked with her, she started the Theosophical Society, with Col. H.S. Olcott, William Q. Judge and others… The Theosophical Society, as at present constituted, has three objects (the second of which is intended “To promote the study of Aryan and other Eastern literatures, religions and sciences”), which three, if properly carried out and fully understood, must result in the recognition of the mystical (read: the magic) system known as Theosophy (Wright also refers to it as “the mystical system known as Theosophy”). Thus the (Thesosophical) Society is bound by no beliefs, no dogmas, throws its doors wide open to all, and has only endeavour, that of uniting all sects and peoples into one harmonious whole- producing a humanity of philo-sophers, or true lovers of wisdom…Then, religionists and mystics at heart, whether subscribing to a creed or not, let them study under the Second Object (“the study of Aryan and other Eastern literatures, religions and sciences”), and they will find that humanity has ever placed its hopes elsewhere than on this globe. They will find that from the dawn of the Aryan race down to the present time mystics and sages have always walked the earth and taught the peoples the one truth, Universal Brotherhood—the one doctrine, Theosophy. No wonder then they are Theosophists. For once the keynote has been struck, once the Wisdom-Religion (Theosophy) is shown to have existed ever, in all creeds, it takes very little to convince anyone with higher perceptions than those which look on clay, of its verity… It 238

seeks to reveal the true origin of our various religions, and to show that the same mysticism (of the Magi) which inspired the founding of Christianity (seemingly a reference to Francis Barret who remarks in the Preface to The Magus in 1801 A.D.: “Magic is wisdom, and on this account the wise men were called Magi. The magicians were the first Christians”) sowed the seed for the growth of all the creeds of the world…External differences are due merely to incidental causes, diversity in the methods of giving their wisdom among individual teachers, natural modifications and changes of the original philosophy after lapse of time, or the varied interpretations of it by the priests into whose keeping it was entrusted. Theosophy therefore in this sense is the Religion of religions. But Theosophy is distinctly a science. It is religion with a philosophical basis…In Theosophy therefore science blends with religion. Religion, according to that theosophical view, being but a clearer perception of, a deeper insight into life, by man, freed from superstition and emotion and grounded in true philosophy, it must lead to wisdom…If the insight it gives be added to the practical and intellectual powers of our modern scientist we can set no limit to his advance in knowledge…The truth is that each of the world's great religions is but the remnant of an ancient science…it is the hope…that by the light of Theosophy the old wisdom (first introduced to mankind by the fallen angels) may be restored.” - Modern Theosophy: An Outline of Its Principles (Claude Falls Wright, FTS, 1894 A.D.) (Both magic and Freemasonry are known as the ‘Craft.’ This hearkens back to the days of the mystery religions and their guild-like, quasiFreemasonic structured ceremonial magic groups. Indeed, for this reason the archaic definition of the word ‘mystery’ is craft/trade, ‘a body of persons engaged in a particular trade, business, or profession’ (See: merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mystery). Freemasonic degtrees are akin to military/police ranks. In fact, in America, the police are organized as a ‘Fraternal Order,’ a Brotherhood)

The Theosophical Society was formed in part by magic practicing Freemasons. Such magic practices as performed by highdegree Freemasons involve the invocation of fallen angels, including the angels Satan and Azazel. As we learn from the Theosophical Society member, Freemasonic ceremonial magician and occult author A.E. Waite in Chapter XV of Devil-Worship in France (1896 A.D.) concerning this association of magic with Freemasonry (he in a bit of a bragging mood due to the success of their ongoing endeavors): “When the history of Freemasonry becomes possible by the possession of materials, its chief philosophical interest centres in one country of Europe; there is no doubt that it (Freemasonry) exercised an immense influence upon France during that 239

century of quakings and quickenings which gave birth to the great revolution (the French Revolution), transformed civilisation in the West, and inaugurated the modern era (one of the Freemasonic lodges responsible for launching the French Revelution was the Lodge of the Nine Muses. According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology concerning Benjamin Franklin’s association with this lodge: “Franklin associated with Rosicrucians and became a Freemason in February 1730, a member of the Lodge of the Nine Muses, which was said to have influenced the French Revolution.” Grand Orient Freemasons were also important collaborators). Without being a political society, it was an instrument eminently adaptable to the sub-surface determination of political movements. At a later date it (Freemasonry) may have contributed to the formation of Germany, as it did certainly to the creation of Italy, but the point and centre of Masonic history is France in the eighteenth century. To that country also is mainly confined the historical connection between Masonry and mystic science, for the revival of Mysticism which originated in Germany at the close of the eighteenth century, and thence passed over to England, found its final field in France at the period in question (“From thence at a later period it returned to England through the exertion and zealous propagandism of (A.E.) Waite and his friends and through the work of A. Pike (Albert Pike), Woodford (Field Marshal Sir Alexander George Woodford, senior British Army officer and colonial administrator) and their confreres and comperes, both in the British Empire and in the United States…” - Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry (L. Fouquet, 1898 A.D.)). There (in France) Rosicrucianism reappeared, there Anton Mesmer recovered the initial process of transcendental practice, there the Marquis de Puységur discovered clairvoyance (“…the greatest of all the gifts that clairvoyance brings is the direct knowledge of the existence of the great White Brotherhood (composed of Azazel’s group of rebel angels), the certainty that mankind is not without Guides and Leaders, but that there live and move on earth Those who, while They are men (read: incarnate angels) even as we are, have yet become as Gods in knowledge and power and love, and so encourage us by Their example and Their help to tread the Path which They have trodden…” - Difficulties in Clairvoyance (Adyar Pamphlets No. 100) by C. W. Leadbeater), there Martines de Pasqually instructed his disciples in the mysteries of ceremonial magic (“Jacques de Livron Joachim de la Tour de la Casa Martinez de Pasqually (1727? - 1774) was a theurgist (by definition a ceremonial magician) and theosophist of uncertain origin.

He was the founder of the l'Ordre de Chevaliers Maçons Élus Coëns de l'Univers Commonly referred to as the 'Elus Cohens' in 1761. He was the tutor, initiator and friend of (the French military officer) Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin and JeanBaptiste Willermoz, and therefore regarded as the originator of martinism (French Illuminist Freemasonry).” – Wikipedia: Martinez de Pasqually); there the illustrious (Louis-Claude de) Saint-Martin, le philosophe inconnu, developed a special system of spiritual reconstruction (Pasqually was a friend of Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, and both Pasqually and Saint-Martin have military backgrounds. Many ceremonial magicians have historically come from a military background. The shape of the Pentagon military complex being based upon the shape of the Pentagram (a fivepointed star often associated with Azazel and Satan) is a testament to the historic occult association with military forces. Remember, Azazel is the god of war); there alchemy flourished; there spiritual and political princes betook themselves to extravagant researches after an elixir of life; there also, as a consequence, rose up a 240

line of magnificent impostors who posed as initiates of the occult sciences, as possessors of the grand secret (also known as the ‘great secret.’ Gardner uses this term: “the Great Secret of what they call magic” (See Witchcraft Today). The use of this term originates with Henry Cornelius Agrippa (if not in fact prior): “Philosophers travelled far by sea to learn this Art (magic); and being returned, published it with wonderful devoutness, esteeming of it as a great secret.” - The Philosophy of Natural Magic Chapter II) and the grand mastery (the head of a witch’s coven is known as a ‘grand master’); there, finally, under the influences of transcendental philosophy, emblematic Freemasonry took root and grew and flourished, developing ten thousand splendours of symbolic grades, of romantic legends, of sonorous names and titles. In a word, the Mysticism of Europe concentrated its forces at Paris and Lyons, and all French Mysticism gathered under the shadow of the square and compass (of Freemasonry). To that, as to a centre, the whole movement gravitated, and thence it worked. There is nothing to show that it endeavoured to revolutionise Masonry in its own interest. The Fraternity (Freemasonry) naturally attracted all Mystics (practitioners of magic/invokers of fallen angels) to its ranks, and the development of the mystic degrees took place as the result of that attraction. By the year 1825 a variety of circumstances had combined to suspend transcendental activity, and the connection with Masonry ended (not true), but the present revival of mystic thought is rapidly picking up the links of the broken chain; secretly or unobtrusively the spirit of transcendentalism is working within the Fraternity, and the bogus question of Lucifer is simply a hostile and unscrupulous method of recognising that fact. If Masonry and Mysticism could be shown in the historical world to be separated by the great sea, the consanguinity of their intention would remain, which is more important than external affinity, and they are sisters by that bond. But they have not been so separated, and on either side there is no need to be ashamed of the connection. With all brethren of the Fraternity (of Freemasonry), "we also do believe in the resurrection of Hiram" (which action represents the release of the angel Azazel from his earthen imprisonment), and we regard the Temple as "an edifice immediately realisable, for we rebuild it in our hearts." We also adore the Grand Architect (aka the Great Architect), and offer our intellectual homage, to the divine cipher which is in the centre of the symbolic star; and we believe that some day the Mason will recognise the Mystic. He is the heir of the great names of antiquity, the philosophers and Hierarchs, and the spiritual kings of old; he is of the line of Orpheus and Hermes (Trismegestes), of the Essenes and the Magi. And all those illustrious systems and all those splendid names with which Masonry has ever claimed kindred belong absolutely to the history of Mysticism (magic).”

Author William Grimstad poses the question: “Practically everyone who has looked into the role of clandestine control groups behind the scenes of everyday political and social ‘reality’ eventually has arrived at the question: Is there some central authority above the diverse Trilateralists, Zionists, Freemasons, KGB/CIAS, central banks, multinational cartels, and other furtive power blocs at work shaping our world?” Likewise French metaphysician/Sufi Muslim-convert Rene Guenon in Theosophism, History of a Pseudo Religion (1921 241

A.D.) asks: “might there not be, behind all these movements, something far more dangerous, which their leaders perhaps know nothing about, being themselves in turn the unconscious tools of a higher power?” In answer to both of these questions this author would unwaveringly and unequivocally answer: “Yes. It is the rebel alien fallen angels.”

“The strength of a democracy thus lies at the mercy of invisible leaders who, being nationally irresponsible, cannot be called to account for the consequences of the acts of the governments they control. This at the same time constitutes the inherent weakness of any form of government, the apotheosis of which is the control of both parties in the state, right and left, radical and conservative (Republican and Democrat), by the same forces. Then, only the puppets change while the rule of the individuals (read: fallen angels) controlling the machine continues unhindered. Voters who wonder why their efforts have failed, wonder in vain. As the dupes of a controlled publicity their privilege of the vote is a farce.” - Occult Theocracy (Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller. Sound familiar America? (Lady Queenborough, Edith Starr Miller (July 16, 1887 - January 16, 1933) was a New York socialite born in Newport, Rhode Island who In 1921 A.D. married Almeric Hugh Paget, 1st Baron Queenborough, the British Conservative Party politician who was then residing in New York in America and who was once acquainted with Theodore Roosevelt when after emigrating to the United States in 1881 A.D. he started a cattle ranch at Le Mars in Iowa).

Chapter 10. The Story Continued Theosophy, like Rosicrucianism before it, was predicated on magic practices, with magic itself originating from the terrific tales of the rebellious fallen angels, most importantly of which was this group can be actually be contacted (whether or not they respond may be an entirely different story), for it was taught one may actually converse with one’s personal guardian angel. Around these teachings religions grew, most revering these fallen angels as gods, and being predicated upon arcane magical practices: “Egypt had priests…Babylon had the Caldeans, Persia had magicians, India had Brachmans, Ethiopia had the Gymnosophists; amongst the Bactrians was Zamolsis, amongst the Corinthians was Fido, amongst the Nilesians was Hippodamus, amongst the Carthaginians was Charonda, lastly amongst the Britons and French the Druids.” - Laws of the Fraternity of the Rosy Cross (Maier, 1656 A.D.). Practitioners of magic and invokers of fallen angels, all. Of such ilk were modern-day magicians the likes of the French occult author Eliphas Levi (February 8, 1810 - May 31, 1875), the American mystic Arthur Edward Waite (October 2, 1857 – May 19, 1942), and the English occultist, mystic and master ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley (October 12, 1875 – December 1, 1947) these individual literary authors representing the latest links in a long chivralic chain.

Eliphas Levi himself was a trainee-dropout from the Roman Catholic priesthood, who finally left his seminary without ever being ordained.

Per Wikipedia we learn: “In 1853, Lévi visited England, where he met the novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who was interested in Rosicrucianism as a literary theme and was the president of a minor Rosicrucian order. Levi’s first treatise on magic appeared in 1854 under the title Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, and was translated into English by Arthur Edward (A.E.) Waite as Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual.” This work had a profound impact upon Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and also on the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO). Levi’s book influenced the writings of A. E. Waite, the “co-creator of the popular and widely used RiderWaite Tarot deck”**: “Waite was a prolific author with many of his works being well received in academic circles. He wrote occult texts on subjects including divination, esotericism, Rosicrucianism, 243

Freemasonry, and ceremonial magic, Kabbalism and alchemy; he also translated and reissued several important mystical and alchemical works. His works on the Holy Grail (a legend also built upon the story of Azazel and his group of rebellious angels), influenced by his friendship with Arthur Machen, were particularly notable. A number of his volumes remain in print, The Book of Ceremonial Magic (1911), The Holy Kabbalah (1929), A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry (1921), and his edited translation of Eliphas Levi's Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual (1896) having seen reprints in recent years.” – Wikipedia: Arthur Edward Waite (**The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXIX equates fate/fortune with Osiris/Behemoth: “I am fate and Osiris.”

Indeed, as we learn from Wikipedia, the word: “sorcery was taken in ca. 1300 from Old French sorcerie, which is from Vulgar Latin sortiarius, from sors “fate,” apparently meaning “one who influences fate.”” In Egypt, Azazel was also known as Tahuti, who was also known as Thoth, the god of magic, the determiner of fates, guider of destinies. The Tarot is alternatively known as The Book of Thoth. Azazel’s cherub is known as the Wheel of Fortune and can be found on the Tenth Major Arcana of the Egyptian Tarot/Book of Thoth. Notice the inclusion of the word ‘ahi’(‘ahi’ means ‘serpent’) in the spelling of the word Tahuti, as well as the ‘T,’ a tau cross, a symbol of Azazel. The word Tarot, as well as Thoth, who is Azazel, was derived from the Canaanite name for Sirius, Ashterot)

It is interesting to note the direct relationship between A.E. Waite and Arthur Machen.

Ground zero of the ‘modern’ magic-based Theosophical Movement led by the rebellious fallen angels has long been Oxford University in the city of Oxford, England, with the British Museum playing a supporting role, an establishment in which was contained and where could be studied such ancient manuscripts as The Book of Enoch and many other such works which reveal the story of the rebellious fallen angels, many, many manuscripts on ceremonial magic rituals/practices amongst them. In fact, The Book of Enoch was made widely available in print form by Oxford University’s Clarendon Press in 1893 A.D. Included in Oxford Universities offerings was the collection called The Sacred Books of the East: “The Sacred Books of the East is a monumental 50-volume set of English translations of Asian religious writings, edited by Max Müller and published by the Oxford University Press between 1879 and 1910 (over half of which had been published by 1885 A.D.). It incorporates the essential sacred texts of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam.” - Wikipedia: Sacred Books of the East (The German academic “Friedrich Max Müller (December 6, 1823 – October 28, 1900), “Müller moved to England in 1846 in order to study Sanskrit texts in the collection of the East India Company (The British

244

East India Company (1600–1874 A.D.) was chartered by Queen Elizabeth I for trade with Asia)…Müller's connections with the East India Company and with Sanskritists based at Oxford University led to a career in Britain, where he eventually became the leading intellectual commentator on the culture of India, which Britain controlled as part of its Empire.

This led to complex exchanges between Indian and British intellectual culture, especially through Müller's links with the Brahmo Samaj. He became a member of Christ Church, Oxford in 1851, when he gave his first series of lectures on comparative philology. He gained appointments as Taylorian Professor of Modern European Languages in 1854. Defeated in the 1860 competition for the tenured Chair of Sanskrit, he later became Oxford's first Professor of Comparative Theology (1868 – 1875), at All Souls College.” – Wikipedia: Max Müller).

(The Rosicrucian “adepts” Robert Flood (“the great English Rosicrucian”) and Thomas Vaughn (“a scholar of Oxford…a Rosicrucian adept if there ever was one”) belonged to the University of Oxford (which name is derived from the esoteric symbol for Azazel, namely, the ox), as did Hargrave Jennings, from whence come these quotes: “On this side of his powers, on this dark side of his character, the alchemist (rather now become the Rosicrucian) works in invisible light, and is a (ceremonial) magician” (See The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.204 (Hargrave Jennings))

As a matter of fact: “(Colonel Henry Steel) Olcott had visited (Max) Muller in Oxford in 1888 and corresponded with him on many issues.”

- Max Müller and H. P. Blavatsky — Comparative Religion in the 19th Century (Bas Rijken van Olst) from Sunrise magazine, June/July 2006; copyright © 2006 Theosophical University Press.

At this point it is important to note: “Colonel Henry Steel Olcott (August 2, 1832 – February 17, 1907) was an American military officer, journalist, lawyer and the cofounder and first President of the Theosophical Society.” – Wikipedia: Henry Steel Olcott (Turn now to Appendix E)

The Theosophical Society primarily focuses its attention on the religious teachings of the East (note this Oxford University association with the creation of the Theosophical Society). Prior to being made available to the masses, such esoteric works concerning magic and knowledge of fallen angels would have been been available to those who frequented the British Museum Reading Room (where was deposited the magic books collected by members of the Invisible College) located in London, England: “The British Museum Reading Room, situated in the centre of the Great Court of the British Museum, used to be the main reading room of the British Library. During the period of the British Library, access was restricted to registered researchers only…The Reading Room was used by a large number of famous figures, including notably Mohammad Ali Jinnah (the founder of Pakistan), Karl Marx (33° Freemason, father of Marxism, from 245

whence communism is derived), Oscar Wilde (likely a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. His wife was known to have joined the order in 1888 A.D. Wilde’s mother, Lady Jane Wilde, wrote pieces calling for armed revolution in Ireland in a Youth Movement newspaper called The Nation for the Young Ireland movement under the pen name Speranza in the 1840s), Bram Stoker (author of Dracula, member of the Theosophical Society as well as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; Stoker was an associate of Oscar Wilde and was a distant relative of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), Mahatma Gandhi (University of London graduate, Indian independence leader.

Gandhi edited a “Youth Movement” newspaper called Young India, no doubt he was a major player in the Masonic Young India movement), Rudyard Kipling (poet/author), George Orwell (author), George Bernard Shaw, (author), (Russian Revolutionary/Bolshevik leader, Vladimir) Lenin, Norbert Elias (a leading academic within the German-Jewish Youth Movement who was a Senior Research Assistant with the London School of Economics founded by Theosophical Society member George Bernard Shaw), (English writer and publisher) Virginia Woolf, (French poet) Arthur Rimbaud and H. G. Wells (33° Freemasonic author of War of the Worlds depicting an alien invasion of our Earth. He also penned a book entitled The Open Conspiracy espousing a Utopian “global commonweal”)…Room 2 has also had distinguished users, including Thomas Babington Macaulay (1st Baron Macaulay, British poet, historian and British government minister), William Thackeray (secretary to the board of revenue in the British East India Company), Robert Browning (poet), (majordomo) Giuseppe Mazzini, Charles Darwin (evolutionary proponent and author of On the Origin of Species. Darwin was a friend and confidant of the Rev. John Brodie-Innes, father of Dr. J.W. Brodie-Innes, leading member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s Amen-Ra Temple in Edinburgh, Scotland) and Charles Dickens (author of the famed Christmas ghost story entitled A Christmas Carol and early member of The Ghost Club of London specializing in the study of paranormal activities. The Ghost Club is still in existence today).” – Wikipedia: British Museum Reading Room (English occult author, poet and one-time Chief of the Ancient Order of Druids in England Gerald Massey also studied extensively at the British Museum. Massey wrote for and submitted articles which appeared in the Theosophical Society’s Lucifer Magazine. In Gnostic and Historic Christianity Gerald Massey admits to being a “Spiritualist.” Other famous occult figures who studied extensively at the British Museum include Manly P. Hall and Gerald B. Gardner, both also Spiritualists by definition and Illuminati by inclination) (Another Ghost Club member of note is British Intelligence agent and RAF Wing Commander Dennis Wheatley, “an expert on black magic and Satanism”

To Wheatley, the Devil was a very real entity. It is said Churchhill like Massey was also a Druid)

And one must add the likes of high-degree Freemasonic ceremonial magicians/invokers of fallen angels Aleister Crowley and S. L. MacGregor Mathers to this list of intellectuals who haunted the halls of the British Museum, they being well known members of the magic order known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the inner circle of the Theosophical Society itself. In fact, the three founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott, and S. L. MacGregor Mathers were high-degree Freemasons and members of Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.) (the English Rosicrucian society known as the S.R.I.A. accepted only Master Masons [Blue Lodge] and was originally founded in 1867 A.D.). William Wynn Westcott and Samuel Liddell (S.L.) MacGregor Mathers were also Theosophical Society members (founded 1875 A.D.), as was Theosophical Society President Annie Besant who exclaims in her very own words in Annie Besant: An Autobiography: “I would go out and study all day at the British Museum.” Perhaps ‘conspire’ would be more to the point. (Notable Quote: “Filled with the spirit of Satan, who knows how to transform himself into an angel of light, Freemasonry puts forward as its pretended aim the good of humanity. Paying a lip service to the authority of law, and even to the obligations of religion, it aims (as its own statutes declare), at the destruction of civil authority and of the Christian priesthood, both of which it regards as the foes of human liberty.” - Parvenu a la Vingtcinquieme annee by Pope Leo XIII, 1902 A.D.) (Pertinent Quote: “What Jerusalem is to Jews and Mecca to Mohammedans, and Rome to Catholics, that London is to Freemasons.” – Mysteria by Rhyne, 1895 A.D.)

It was also in the British Museum Reading Room where Arthur Machen first met A.E. Waite in 1887 A.D. One such ghost which haunted the British Museum was Mafia-founder Giuseppe Mazzini, an important figure when one realizes that Freemasons and members of the associated Youth Movement group and Theosophical Society members are often accomplices in the ‘conspiracy’ known as the greater Theosophical Movement. In fact, Freemasonic groups and the factions they’ve founded have always been used as international instruments of subversion the world over. And assassination and 247

espionage is the name of the game (such groups were also riddled with spies and citizen informants): “(Giuseppe) Mazzini developed and taught, in his grandiloquent style, as well as practised the doctrine of assassination which formed, we know, a part of the system of all secret societies…” - Freemasonry Unmasked (A purported product of ‘automatic writing’ entitled Letters from the Other Side [“prefaced and edited by Henry Thibault,” London, 1919 A.D.; the ‘Other Side’ is also known in the Zohar as ‘sitra abra,’ the Abyss, wherein is entrapped Azazel and his angels] connects the machinations of Giuseppe Mazzini to and I quote the “guardian angels,” no doubt of the rebellious fallen sort. It is said Theosophical Society founder H.P. Blavatsky was initiated into the Italian Freemasonic conspiratorial organisation known as the Carboneri by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1856 A.D. Founded in early 19th-century Italy, the Carboneri consisted of groups of revolution spawning secret societies. The Carboneri played an active part in the assassination of King Carlos I of Portugal and his heir, Prince Luís Filipe, the Duke of Braganza in 1908 A.D. The Carboneri also participated in the 1910 A.D. revolution in Portugal which successfully overthrew its monarchy. Other prominent Carboneri members included the Marquis de Lafayette, hero of both of the American and French Revolutions, the Italian revolutionary Garibaldi, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte [who eventually became Emperor Napoleon III] and the British Romantic era poet Lord Byron [See Wikipedia: Carboneri]. It is alleged John Wilkes Booth, famous for his assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 A.D., was a 33° Freemason as well as one of Mazzini’s Carboneri)

One such infamous assassination carried out by a subversive Freemasonic cell, namely the assassination of the heir to the AustroHungarian throne, led to the onset of World War I: “On 28 June 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb student and member of Young Bosnia (also known as the Young Turks**), assassinated the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, Bosnia.” –Wikipedia: World War I (**Career revolutionist and agent provocateur Ze’ev [Vladimir] Jabotinski was a Jewish Zionist/Russian Bolshevik who moved to Turkey in 1908 A.D. where he was editor of a newspaper named Young Turk, no doubt being a great inflammatory influence thereupon) (Think of this act of assassination by this particular Freemasonic Youth Movement group in the context of the infamous Boston Tea Party, where Freemasonic colonists dressed as Indians carried out a sabotage operation/act of destruction/false flag attack, in an attempt to lay the blame on Native Americans. In this way such a subversive group of agents provocateur may manufacture a crisis, blame it on others, and feigning outrage [while waving the flag to get others to rally around it], act in militant response; in this way one may even illicit a retributive response against an innocent foe who is subsequently erroneously blamed. To use another example, a Zionist or Illuminati agent, say, may dress as a Turk, assassinate someone whereupon war is declared against an innocent country, sparking a major world-wide war. One may in such a way also generate a false flag 9/11 or even feign a Gulf of Tonkin-like incident which declassified U.S. documents reveal was itself entirely faked in order to ramp up the unpopular so-called ‘police-action’ war in Vietnam)

The Young Bosnia/Young Turks society in which Gavrilo Princip played an active role was a Freemasonic creation from the get248

go, a single faction of what was known as the greater Youth Movement of the period. As we learn from the pages of Occult Theocracy (to which list we may add ‘Young America,’ ‘Young Bosnia’/‘Young Turks’ and ‘Young India’): “(Giusseppe) Mazzini had already established his reputation as an international intriguer. The ‘Youth Movement’ of the day was already organized: — The societies composing it were: — Young Italy — founded by Mazzini 1831 Young Poland — founded by Simon Konarski.... 1834 Young England — founded by Benjamin Disraeli 1834 Young Europe — founded by Mazzini 1834 Young Switzerland — founded by Melegari (Emery) 1835 Young Ireland — founded by Smith O’Brien 1843 Young Germany — founded by Hecker & Struve.... 1848 (Baden revolutionary leaders Friedrich Hecker and Gustav von Struve, led the Hecker Uprising of April, 1848 A.D. which resulted in the short-lived Republic of Baden).” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller) (Today such youth groups have set the Muslim world afire. Author’s Note: Perhaps the vӧlkisch youth groups constituting the Hitler Youth movement belongs also to this list: “The Youth Movement (Young Germany) came to Hitler’s side. It was first strong in the volunteer corps, fighting against Bolsheviks at home and abroad. At the Nazi Party Congress at Nuremberg in August, 1927, 20,000 Storm troop men paraded. From then it advanced from strength to strength, and the Hitler Youth has given an example to the whole world.” – p. 25 The Holy Book of Adolf Hitler (Battersby, 1952 A.D.) (“The plan of [the British Freemasonic statesman and two-time Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Lord] Palmerston—or the plan of the deadly council which plotted under him—was to separate the two great conservative empires of Russia and Austria [Austria later became a part of Germany], while, at the same time, dealing a deadly blow at both [following the old adage ‘divide and conquer’]. It was easy for Palmerston to make England see the utility of weakening Russia, which threatened her Indian possessions.” - Freemasonry Unmasked. Perhaps it was this long term plan which would ultimately lead to the rise of Adolf Hitler. It is said Hitler was a British secret agent (See Hitler Was a British Agent (Greg Hallet, 2005 A.D.). That Hitler ultimately drove Germany to ruin and division history is a witness, even overriding the wishes of his generals by invading the Russian dominated Soviet Union with which he had previously secured a nonagression pact [called the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 A.D.]. Defeat in Russia dealt a death blow to the German plan of world conquest) (The name of the ‘Youth Movement’ itself conveys a deep esoteric meaning; it could also be rightly defined as the ‘Kumara [Youth] Movement’ in deference to the fallen angel Azazel: “So that that word Eternal is never to be confused with everlasting, remember that word is the word rightly given to that great Being (Azazel) beyond our knowing, who is spoken of in the Puranas as the Eldest Kumara (Azazel was, it must be noted, before his fall the leader [eldest] of the group known as the twenty-four elders), the great Being (who is Azazel) we call Sanat (‘Eternal’) Kumara (‘Youth’)…Him (Azazel) who is the Head of the Inner Government of our World.” - The Inner Government of Our World by Annie Bessant)

“Freemasonry, under the direction of (the British high-degree 249

Freemasonic statesman and two-time Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) Lord Palmerston, attempted and effected after the failure of the revolutionary movements (after the failure of the Revolutions of 1848 A.D.), conducted by the party of action, under (perennial revolutionary and Chief of Political Action Giuseppe) Mazzini, in 1848. These (Freemasonic Youth Movements) were fomented to a large extent by British diplomacy and secret service money manipulated by Lord Palmerston. Under his (Palmerston’s) guidance and assistance, Mazzini had organized all his revolutionary Sects.

Young Italy, Young Poland, Young Europe, and the rest sprang as much from the one as from the other.” – Freemasonry Unmasked This speaks of course of the Revolutions of 1848, a series of revolutions staged across Europe [as well as a number of countries around the world] in 1848 A.D. through the subversive activities of Freemasonic lodges in nations including Sicily and the Italian states, the German states, France, Denmark, Schleswig, Wallachia, the Habsburg Empire, Hungary, Switzerland, Poland, and Ireland. The few exceptions included England, where was ensconced the conniving Freemasonic Illuminus stateman, the English Lord Palmerston (Switzerland was one of the few places where the Illuminati revolutions was a success and has long been a hotbed of Illuminati intrigue. Switzerland has long been home to a sizable population of revolutionaries in exile and seved as the subversive habitat to no small number of Britsh ex-pats). The American Revolution of 1776 A.D. can be placed in this category of Freemasonic generated rebellions, where international Freemasonic lodges, acting in coordination—in this case those in America, France and Germany—worked to subversively overthrow an established governing body, as was also the case with the French Revolution of 1789 A.D. (the majordomo Marquis de Lafayette played an intregal role in both revolutions). The American Civil War itself was likewise instigated through Lord Palmerston’s Freemasonic manipulations through Freemasonic groups headed by Confederate General Albert Pike with the perennial Carboneri revolutionary Giusseppe Mazzini as an accomplice. Pike's own right-hand man was a fellow Freemason named Phileas Walder, a former Lutheran minister from Switzerland turned Spiritualist friend of French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi.

Eventually, in an effort to more fully integrate the Freemasonic 250

Lodges of Europe with those in America: “(Giuseppe) Mazzini set himself to study the problem of the international organization of Freemasonry, and in 1870 reached an agreement with (Freemason and former Confederate general Albert) Pike for the creation of the Supreme Rite. The Franco-Prussian war (July 19, 1870 – May 10, 1871. The defeat of France in the FrancoPrussian War sowed the seeds of a new German empire), which, enabled the King of Piedmont, already called King of Italy, to take Rome, favoured the abolition of the temporal power of the Pope (for a feel for the historic apathy between Freemasonry and the Roman Catholic Church, see Appendix B), and at this time the constitution of central high masonry was decreed and signed between Albert Pike and Giuseppe Mazzini. The act of creation is dated Sept. 20, 1870, the day upon which the army of invasion, commanded by the Freemason, General Cadorna, entered the Eternal City (a nickname for the city of Rome). The two founders divided their powers according to the following plan. To (Albert) Pike was given dogmatic authority and the title of Sovereign Pontiff (in effect the Pope) of Universal Freemasonry, while Mazzini held the executive authority with the title of Sovereign Chief of Political Action (‘the party of action’). Mazzini evinced great deference towards the views of the Patriarch of Charleston (aka Albert Pike; Pike, a Harvard man, was at this time in the process of applying the finishing touches to his pagan Ancient Mysteries/Kabbalistic classic entitled Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, considered to be the Freemasonic Bible, which carried a publication date of 1871 A.D.) and begged him to draw up the statutes of the grades of the (Freemasonic) Supreme Secret Rite (magic rituals based upon ancient pagan magic rituals and mystery religions) which would thus be the liturgic bonds of the members of centralized high masonry. Albert Pike, in honour of his Templar Baphomet (the Knight’s Templar god Baphomet; this word is a cognate of the word ‘Behemoth,’ which is the name of Azazel’s cherub. Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, and by extension, Azazel, was known to the Knight’s Templar group as Baphomet), which was in the keeping of his first and historic Supreme Council, named the order the the New and Reformed Palladian Rite (from Greek Palladion, the sacred image of Pallas Athene, a goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife;; related to this and employed as their device is a palladium, a serpent entwining the form of the mystic 251

tau [See The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.304 by Hargrave Jennings], the serpent and the tau cross both being symbols of the fallen angel Azazel. The Palladian Rite is the inner sanctum of Illuminati Freemasonry).” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller; published in 1933 A.D. (In a footnote, Miller expands on this subject: “In his Cyclopædia of Fraternities Stevens writes that the ‘Order of the Palladium’ was founded in 1730 and soon afterwards introduced in Charleston [South Carolina] where it remained inactive until 1886, it blossomed anew under the name of ‘Reformed Palladium’ and gave a new impulse to the traditions of High Masonry [originally the Palladian Rite had evidently been brought to Greece from Egypt by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras]. Stevens adds that the Palladium is little known as the number of its members is strictly limited and the deepest secrecy surrounds all its deliberations” [those Masons who attain to this order are said to be in communication with spirits which they call the "Illuminati." The Illuminati are the fallen angels. Related to Palladian Rite masonry are the Jewish B'nai B'rith Masonic lodges, and also, the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) which in English translates as the Order of Oriental Templars in deference to the Knights Templar group from whom they claim descendence] - Footnote to Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller) (In a chapter entitled ‘Cabalistic Masonry or Masonic Spiritism’ in Freemasonry Unmasked we are told: “Before proceeding further with the history of Freemasonry, I shall stay a moment to consider a very remarkable feature in its strange composition, without which it [Freemasonry] scarcely ever appears. The world was never without wizards, witches, necromancers, jugglers [jugglers are by definition ceremonial magicians], and those who really had, or through imposture, pretended to have, intercourse with demons [read: who were in communication with the fallen angels]. Masonry in its various ramifications is the great continuator of this feature of a past which we had thought departed for ever. Spirit-rapping, table-turning, medium-imposture, etc. [of the Spiritualism Movement], distinguish its adepts in Protestant countries and in Catholic ones.

We have almost incredible stories of the intercourse [communication] with the devil and his angels, which men like the Carboneri of Italy maintain [into which secret society H.P. Blavatsky was initiated by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1856 A.D.]. However, from the very beginning Freemasonry has had a kind of peculiar dark mysticism connected with it. It loves to revel in such mysteries [of Kabbalism] as the secret conclaves that the Jews used to practise in the countries in which they were persecuted, and which were common among those unclean heretics, the Bulgarians, the Gnostics, the Albigenses, and the Waldenses. The excesses alleged against the [Knights] Templars were also accompanied by secret signs and symbols which Masonry adopted. But whatever may have been the extent of this mysticism in Masonry before, a spurious kind of spiritism became part of its very essence since the advent of the celebrated Cagliostro, who travelled all over Europe under the instructions of [Adam] Weishaupt [of Illuminati fame], and founded more lodges than did any individual Freemason then or since. The real name of this arch-imposter was Balsamo. He was an inveterate sorcerer, and in his peregrinations in the East, picked up from every source the secrets of alchemy, astrology, jugglery [ceremonial magic], legerdemain [sleight of hand techniques], and occult science of every kind about which he could get any information. Like the Masonry to which he became affiliated at an early period, he was an adept at acting and speaking a lie.

He suited Weishaupt, who, though knowing him to be an imposter, nevertheless employed for him the diffusion of Illuminism. Accompanied by his no less celebrated wife, Lorenza, he appeared in Venice as the Marquis Pelligrini, and subsequently traversed Italy, Germany, Spain, England, the Netherlands, and Russia. In the latter country (of Russia) he amassed, at the Court of Catherine II, an immense fortune. In France, assisted by the efforts of the Illuminati, he was received as a kind of demigod, and called the divine Cagliostro. He established new lodges in all parts of the country. At Bordeaux [France] he remained eleven months for this purpose. In Paris [France] he established lodges for women of a peculiarly cabalistic and impure kind, with inner departments horribly mysterious. At the reception of

252

members he used rites and ceremonies exactly resembling the absurd practices of spirit mediums, who see and speak to spirits, etc., and introduced all that nonsense with which we are made now familiar by his modern followers. He claimed the power of conferring immortal youth, health, and beauty, and what he called moral and physical regeneration, by the aid of drugs [no doubt including those of the hallucinatory type] and Illuminated Masonry. He was the father and the founder of the existing rite of Misraim—the Egyptian rite in Masonry…Masonry does much to disown Cagliostro;; but with a strange inconsistency it keeps the Egyptian rite founded by him, and clings to mysticism of the debased kind he introduced.

It is wonderful how extremes thus meet,—how men who make it a sign of intellectual strength to deny the existence of the God that made them bow down stupidly and superstitiously before devils [fallen angels]…” Made even more especially funny considering ‘stupidity’ is, as Anton LaVey most famously asserts, the ‘Cardinal Sin of Satanism’)

These Freemasonic Youth Movements and the multiple revolutions they helped spawn were part of a long-term conspiracy hailing back in fact to Illuminati-founder Adam Weishaupt. An examiner named John Robinson of the Royal Society in Edinberg, Scottland, investigating covert Freemasonic activities during the 18th Century in Europe had the follwing to say of his findings as addressed to William Wyndham, the British Secretary at War under King George III, in the Third Edition of his most illuminating book entitled Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe, Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Free Masons, Illuminati and Reading Societies (circa 1798 A.D.) (reading societies/literary societies have long been used as cover for subversive activities, complete with characteristicly occult underpinnings, as we shall later discover): “…the French innovations in Free Masonry were quickly followed in all parts of Europe…the (Freemasonic) Lodges in other countries followed the example of France, and have frequently become the rendezvous of innovators in religion and politics (case in point: “The Archives Mystico-Hermetiques [the archives of the foremost of the French Freemasonic Lodges, the Loge des Chevaliers Biensaisants Freemasonic Lodge in Lyons, France; this Lodge gave birth to the Martinists and to Martinism (Ibid p.42)] exhibit a very strange mixture of Mysticism, Theosophy, Cabalistic whim, real Science, Fanaticism, and Freethinking, both in religion and politics.” – Ibid p.37), and other disturbers of the public peace, in short, I have found that the covert use of a Mason Lodge (“Theurgy [ceremonial magic], cosmogony, Cabala and many whimsical and mystical doctrines…were subjects of frequent discussion in the Lodges.” – Ibid p.33) had been employed in every country for venting and propagating sentiments (propaganda) in religion and politics, that could not have circulated in public without exposing the author to great danger. I found, that this impunity had 253

gradually encouraged men of licentious principles to become more bold, and to teach doctrines subversive of all our notions of morality— of all our confidence in the moral government of the universe—of all our hopes of improvement in a future state of existence—and of all satisfaction and contentment with our present life, so long as we live in a hate of civil subordination (they served as seditious agents provocateur). I have been able to trace these attempts, made, through a course of fifty years, under the specious pretext of enlightening the world by the torch of philosophy, and of dispelling the clouds of civil and religious superstition which keep the nations of Europe in darkness and slavery. I have observed these doctrines gradually diffusing and mixing with all the different systems of Free Masonry, till, at last, an Association has been formed for the express purpose of rooting out all the religious establishments, and overturning all the existing governments of Europe (for which 1848 A.D. would certainly be a banner year with the Revolutions of 1848. How right Robinson proved to be!). I have seen this Association exerting itself zealously and systematically, till it has become almost irresistible. And I have seen that the most active leaders in the French Revolution (such as the Marquis de LaFayette) were members of this Association, and conducted their first movements according to its principles, and by means of its instructions and assistance, formally requested and obtained: And, lastly, I have seen that this Association still exists, still works in secret, and that not only several appearances among ourselves show that its emissaries are endeavoring to propagate their detestable doctrines among us, but that the Association has Lodges in Britain corresponding with the mother Lodge at Munich (Munich was a city in what was at the time Bavaria, now in Germany. Think: Bavarian Illuminati) ever since 1784.” As Robinson goes on to explain: “The Association of which I have been speaking is the Order of Illuminati, founded, in 1775, by Dr. Adam Weishaupt (code name: Spartacus), professor of Canon law in the University of Ingolstadt (in Bavaria), and abolished in 1786 (due to its subversive anti-church, anti-state activities including “commotions and insurrections.” Ibid p.36,37) by the Elector of Bavaria, but revived immediately after, under another name, and in a different form, all over Germany. It was again detected, and seemingly broken up, but it had by this time taken so deep root that it still subsists without being detected, and has spread into all the countries of Europe. It took its first rise among the Free Masons, but is totally different from Free Masonry (the Freemasonic 254

Lodges themselves were to be brought under the direction of the Illuminati through systematic infiltrations including most importantly the assumption of fiscal duties within the Lodges).” Candidates for Illumination are called Minervals and: “It is in the Lodges of Free Masons that the Minervals (initiates) are found, and there they are prepared for Illumination. They must have previously obtained the three English degrees” [they must be Master Masons of the Blue Lodge of Three Degrees] (Ibid p.82,85). The Order of the Illuminati, like Freemasonry, was to be divided into various degrees; the “Higher Orders” were to be predicated on the “mysteries” of “the fire-worship of the Magi” (Ibid p.105), the Magi of course being well known practioners of magic and invokers of fallen angels. And like many practitioners of magic, as assassins they were even versed in the use of “poisons” as well as the use of “pestilential vapours,” which is to say, germ warfare (Ibid p.115), and were even able towards this diabolical end to employ a “composition which blinds or kills when spurted in the face” (Ibid p.106). As Robinson therein reveals, World Government and the formation of a New World Order (which was then called “Cosmopolitism” whereby everyone would be made “Citizens of the World” of “the great Society of Mankind”) was at that time already an established Freemasonic scheme in the works back in 1798 A.D. when this expose was firstly written. In fact, we are told: “Weishaupt had long been scheming the establishment of an Association or Order, which, in time, would govern the world” (Ibid p.80). As Robinson lays out in Chapter II: The Illuminati (Ibid p.82), Weishaupt, himself a Rosicrucian adept (as well as an Excorcist, a Spiritist and a student of Cabala [Ibid p.108]), had for this purpose created an: “Order of Masons, who called themselves the Illuminated, and that the express aim of this Order was to abolish Christianity, and overturn all civil government” (No manner of deceit was withheld from this quest—they would put the humanist philosopher Machiavelli even to shame. Towards this end Weishaupt’s Illuminati associates constructed a “priest-degree” to bestow upon the clergy of Christian churches who would then unknowingly work towards destroying the very religion they themselves had piously promulgated!

[Ibid pp.115-116]).** Weishaupt sets out his plan for a ‘gradual’ change (a long-term conspiracy as it were) of the then present ordering of the world by employing associations of lodges composed of “young members” [which later manifested in the Illuminati/Carboneri/Freemasonic Youth Movements] (Ibid p.89). His 255

scheme also included the surreptitious infiltration of “Illuminati into all important civil offices” (Ibid p.100) of the countries in which it conspired, and “particularly into courts of justice,” and of Universities as well (Ibid p.101) in a bid to control the education of the youth and thereby, influence what was learned by the children of the upper class as in the following manner: “…Mr. Weishaupt had a very serious charge, the education of youth, and his encouragement in that charge was the most flattering that an Illuminatus could wish for, because he had brought round him the youth whose influence in society was the greatest...” (Ibid p.109). Weishaupt even devised to promote this ‘gradual’ change through the cultural influences of the “Literati” (Ibid p.103), while “reading societies” (literary circles and the like) were to be employed as fronts for subversive activities (Ibid p.113). The acquisition of periodicals such as newspapers, gazettes and reviews no doubt as platforms of propaganda was considered to be a considerable asset to their enterprise (Ibid p.214). Additionally, it was decreed that every member “shall be made a spy” who was to spy “on all around him” (Ibid p.104). (**Weishaupt and the intrigues of the Freemasons, the Illuminati and Carboneri would later induce Pope Leo, in his Encyclical Letter dated April 20, 1884 A.D., Humanus Genus [On Freemasonry], to call Freemasonry and Freemasonic Organizations a “foul plague,” and that it was in “these evil sects, in which is revived the contumacious [by definition ‘rebellious’] spirit of the demon…Satan…together with his unsubdued perfidy [deliberate treachery] and deceit,” stating that “at this period, the partisans of evil seem to be combining together, and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons…that this Apostolic See denounced the sect of the Freemasons, and publicly declared its constitution, as contrary to law and right, to be pernicious no less to Christendom than to the State,” and “that it is against the Church that the rage and the attack of the enemies are principally directed.” Pope Leo’s letter concludes it is the Church’s belief Freemasonry’s “ultimate purpose” is “the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced [read: the Old New Order], and the substitution of a new state of things [read: a New World Order] in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.” The Church says “they [Freemasons]…teach the great error of this age—that a regard for religion should be held as an indifferent matter, and that all religions are alike” [a belief known as Monism as promulgated by the Freemasonic-associated organization known as the Theosophical Society].

The Carboneri of Giusseppe Mazzini continued the Illuminati agenda after it was forced to go underground: “The plans of the Carboneri were recorded in 1818 in its secret official document under the title Permanent Instructions, or Practical Code of Rules; Guide for the 256

Heads of the Highest Grades of Masonry. This document…listed several goals, the last of which stated, ‘Our final aim is that of Voltaire and of the French Revolution - the complete annihilation of Catholicism, and ultimately of all Christianity.’” – Scarlet and the Beast by William Cooper Hott.

Indeed, Theosophical Society founder H.P. Blavatsky, who had been initiated into the Carboneri by Mazzini had this as her ultimate goal, for as the Aleister Crowley-initiated Kenneth Grant in The Magickal Revival explains: “Blavatsky’s intention in initiating her society was the destruction of Christianity…” Aleister Crowley, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the magical inner circle of Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society itself, was an initiate of an ancestral British witch named George Pickingill, who was most likely himself an esteemed Illuminatus: “George Pickingill…openly campaigned for the overthrow of the Christian religion and the [political] establishment generally…So fierce was ‘Old George’s dislike of Christianity that he would even collaborate with avowed Satanists.” - Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente, 1978 A.D.).

This was of course the ultimate goal of the Carboneri as well as the Illuminati. The Carboneri, the Theosophical Society and later the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (as would also have been the case with the S.R.I.A.) were simply outgrowths of the earlier Illuminati group. And there are even those who draw direct connections between Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Illuminati, and Giusseppe Mazzini (who was three years a Mason at the time of Weishaupt’s death), the founder of the Carboneri. It would seem that after the Illuminati (a word derived from a root meaning ‘to provide light’) were suppressed, it later reincarnated as the Carboneri (which is derived from the root meaning ‘glowing coal,’ which would of course also be expected ‘to provide light’). The Biblical war against the saints, by definition Christians and Jews, as prophesied in Revelations 13:7 as well as the nuclear destruction of Rome and with it the Vatican (the allusion to which is set forth in Revelations 18:1-24, 19:1-2; see Hidden Truths for more information) represents the endgame of these Illuminati, Carboneri, Freemasonic and Theosophical Society intrigues.

If you read the following selection carefully, you can perceive with insight the later machinations in our story concerning literary/reading societies, conspiring writers and poets and artists and museums used as Illuminati cover, including the targeted control of educational institutions and military academies by conspirators in our 257

midst, and all which follows becomes ever entirely and increasingly clear as the whole dark drama is brought to light before your newly illuminated eyes. In the words of Adam Weishaupt: “The great strength of our (Illuminati) Order lies in its concealment. Let it never appear in anyplace in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower (Blue Lodge) degrees of Free Masonry; the public is accustomed to it; expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it. Next to this the form of a learned or literary society is well suited to our purpose, and had Free Masonry not existed this cover would have been employed; and it may be much more than a cover, it may be a powerful engine in our hands. By establishing reading societies (these reading societies would typically be established under the management of booksellers under Illuminati control), and subscription libraries (such as the creation of public libraries, the books of which were to be selected by their fraternity. As “Purity of heart is perhaps the most distinctive feature of Christian morality” and the Illuminati’s aim the eradication of Christian norms, works of a “sensualist” nature were particularly to be proffered [Ibid p.255] in an effort to subtley introduce “licentious and seditious principles” [Ibid p.258]. To this we owe the creation of Freethought societies), and taking these under our direction, and supplying them through our labours, it may turn the public mind which way we will; in like manner we must try to obtain an influence in the military academies (this may be of mighty consequence) (in this way they could control the education of militant youths, and later, the military itself), the printing-houses (thereby controlling what is or is not published, so that those who did not tow the Illumnati line “will have neither a publisher nor readers.” Ibid p.

215) and bookseller’s shops, chapters, and in short in all offices which have any effect, either in forming, or in managing, or even in directing the mind of man: painting and engraving (the artistic professions, certainly including artists, their works and the museums which house them) are highly worth our care…A Literary Society is the most proper form for the introduction (read: the infiltration) of our Order into any state where we are yet strangers” (Ibid p.148, 149). One example provided of such an Illuminati front was a house which was purchased in Bavaria where secret meetings of the Illumnati were subsequently therein held and which served as, for the purpose of a front, a museum of antiquities, complete with a library and reading room (!!!) whereby: “…the whole has the appearance of a society of 258

zealous naturalists” (Ibid p.149) so not as to draw anyone’s suspicion.

No doubt the British Museum in London with its associated library and seemingly innocuous reading rooms wherein had gathered within its walls so many of Giusseppe Mazzini’s Youth Movement members was likewise employed as such an Illuminati front! Indeed, as Robinson reveals: “We know that before the Order of Illuminati was broken up by the Elector of Bavaria, there were several (Illuminati) Lodges in Britain, and we may be certain that they are not all broken up…I am very well informed, that there are several thousands of subscribing Brethren in London alone (circa 1798 A.D.), and we can hardly doubt, but that many of that number are well advanced.” – p.352,353 Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D. Which group of course included the British Lord Palmerston. No doubt they are also safely ensconced at Oxford University which by the way owns the Oxford University Press, the largest university press publishing house in the world. Robinson ends his most excellent Illuminati exposѐ with some excellent time tested advice: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves—by their fruits ye shall know them—do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs or thistles?” (He quotes of course from Matthew 7:15-16). A few words must be said concerning so-called Freethought societies (the mothers of the modern Humanist movement) such as that of Charles Bradlaugh’s National Secular Society for whom Annie Besant served as Vice-President before she became president of Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society. No doubt associations between such societies run deep. The National Secular Society (a society of Atheists) was employed with writing and publishing such Freethought pamphlets as were decidedly antiChristian and anti-Establishment in nature following exactly along Weishaupt’s preset Illuminati plan, and more will be said on this later as this fact does decidedly tie up so many previously loosened ends.

However what must at this time be discussed is Annie Besant’s underlying motives for her madness, this being a pure hatred of God and Jesus the catalyst to which was the death of her precious baby. In Annie Besant: An Autobiography, Besant herself passionately explains: “…the struggle which transformed me from a Christian into an Atheist...was the long months of suffering through which I had been passing, with the seemingly purposeless torturing of my little one as a climax, that struck the first stunning blow at my belief in God as a 259

merciful Father of men...My religious past became the worst enemy of the suffering present. All my personal belief in Christ, all my intense faith in His constant direction of affairs, all my habit of continual prayer and of realisation of His Presence—all were against me now.

The very height of my trust was the measure of the shock when the trust gave way. To me He was no abstract idea, but a living reality, and all my heart rose up against this Person in whom I believed, and whose individual finger I saw in my baby's agony, my own misery, the breaking of my mother's proud heart under a load of debt, and all the bitter suffering of the poor. The presence of pain and evil in a world made by a good God; the pain falling on the innocent, as on my seven months old babe; the pain begun here reaching on into eternity unhealed; a sorrow-laden world; a lurid, hopeless hell; all these, while I still believed, drove me desperate, and instead of like the devils believing and trembling (a reference to James 2:19), I believed and hated. All the hitherto dormant and unsuspected strength of my nature rose up in rebellion...It was the uprising of an outraged conscience that made me a rebel against the Churches and finally an unbeliever in God…it was Christianity that had robbed me of my child, and I struck unmercilessly at it in return…” Illuminati intrigues provided a ready made vehicle for to vent her desperate rage. Sifted by Satan, Annie failed her test; Annie joined the fallen angels in their ongoing rebellion against God and Jesus. A great influence upon Annie Besant was Theosophical Society member A.P. Sinnett's book entitled The Occult World, which after she read it she professes she “added Spiritualism to my studies (Spiritualism involves contact with ‘otherworldly’ spirits)…I finally convinced myself that there was some hidden thing, some hidden power, and resolved to seek until I found, and by the early spring of 1889 I had grown desperately determined to find at all hazards what I sought. At last, sitting alone in deep thought as I had become accustomed to do after the sun had set, filled with an intense but nearly hopeless longing to solve the riddle of life and mind, I heard a Voice…” She was being contacted by the rebellious fallen angels!

This momentous event took place at the height of the Spiritualist Movement and Besant found herself smack dab in the middle of it.

Soon after this incident she was introduced to H. P. Blavatsky, and soon after that she officially joined the Theosophical Society, becoming a major player in the greater Theosophical Movement. It was at precisely this time in 1889 A.D. that Annie Besant became “the pupil of H.P. Blavatsky” herself. And she eventually became 260

Theosophical Society president. In conclusion, she again professes, “I am but the servant of the great Brotherhood” (of rebellious fallen angels). It must be noted: “In 1902 she (Annie Besant) established the International Order of Co-Freemasonry in England and over the next few years established lodges in many parts of the British Empire.” – Wikipedia: Annie Besant. No doubt this was as part of the Illuminati plan for the establishment of a: “Lodge of Sister Illuminatae for women” (See Proofs of a Conspiracy pp.106-107). (Of additional interest, I include the following which I believe highlights the fact these plans originated with the rebel fallen angels with whom such men were in contact and by whom they were being Overshadowed: “I [John Robinson] have a notion that Dionysiacs of Iona had some scientific secrets, viz. all the knowledge of practical mechanics which was employed by their architects and engineers, and that they were really a Masonic Fraternity. But, like the Illuminati they tagged to the secrets of Masonry the secret of drunkenness and debauchery; they had their Sister Lodges, and at last became rebels, subverters of the states where they were protected, till aiming at the dominion of all Ionia, They were attacked by the neighbouring states and dispersed. They were Illuminators too, and wanted to introduce the worship of Bacchus (Azazel) over the whole country, as appears in the account of them given by Strabo. Perhaps the Pythagoreans had also some scientific secrets; but they too were Illuminators, and thought it their duty to overset the State, and were themselves overset.” – p.344 Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D. The same scheme is being hatched today and this time shall be successful)

In keeping with the Illuminati/Carboneri/Freemasonic agenda, as you will see, the events in our story in particular revolves around artists and composers and actors and poets and authors and reading societies and literary circles and publishers and newspapers and the military and spies and Universties and education systems and museums and of the utmost particular importance, it involves practitioners of magic, invokers of fallen angels. Read on with the preceding facts in mind.

(Enter the Freemasonic-associated Oddfellows): “Oddfellow is the name adopted by the members of a society founded in London (England) towards 1788. Their meeting places were called Lodges, as in Masonry, and many were dissolved under the suspicion that their character was subversive, though the visible aims of the fraternity were simply mutual help and diversion. But the society, changing its location and its name, continued a precarious existence till, in 1809, several members founded a new lodge at Manchester (England). Then some of them separated in 1813 and formed the independent Order of Oddfellows (I. 0. 0.

F.) the members of the general council of which were all to reside at Manchester (England). The order was introduced in America, in 1819, by the blacksmith (Thomas) Wildey, who founded Washington Lodge No. 1, at Baltimore (Maryland).

This town became the headquarters of the American and Canadian Oddfellows and, thanks to the energy of Wildey, the order made great headway and spread with 261

rapidity. (The poet Henry Wadsworth) Longfellow and (the English Freemason Moses) Holbrook (Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council at Charleston), while exchanging views on the Cabala (Cabala formed the basis of Medieval as well as Renaissance magic), had formed the project of creating a Satanic rite in which the adepts would be instructed in Black Magic…Longfellow obtained from Wildey the authorization secretly to use the Order of the Oddfellows for the initiations of the second class, which was to form an absolutely secret rite and to have its centre at Hamilton (Canada). The adepts of the second class Oddfellows, practicing Satanism, then took the name of Re-TheurgistOptimates 2(used by the Palladists also) and Longfellow became the Grand Priest of the ‘New Evocative Magic.’” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller (2. Gerard de Nerval, Les Illumines, p. 172. Translation: "Several philosophers of this period followed Quintus Aucler in this revival of the ideas of the school of Alexandria (Egypt). It is towards the same period that Dupont (de Nemours) published his Philosophy of the Universe, founded on the same elements of adoration of planetary intelligences. Likewise, he established, between man and God, a chain of immortal spirits which he called "Optimates" and through whom any illuminé can have communication. It is always the doctrine of the "ammoneans" gods, the "eons" or "eloims'' (angels) of antiquity. Footnote to Occult Theocracy p. 213 by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller. Magic practices invoke the fallen angels, themselves part of a group known as the Elohim/“eloims,” as spoken of above. This Dupont was none other than: “Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours (December 14, 1739 – August 7, 1817)…a French nobleman, writer, economist, and government official, who was the father of Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, the founder of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company, patriarch and progenitor of one of America's richest business dynasties of the 19th and 20th centuries.” – Wikipedia: Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours) (Wrote Giuseppe Mazzini to Albert Pike in 1870 A.D.: “…we must create a supreme rite, which will remain unknown, to which we will call those Masons of high degree whom we shall select (Jan. 22, 1870).” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller)

The 1860s Confederate (Rebel) Civil War General Albert Pike himself: “…became an Oddfellow, some time in the forties (1840’s), and in 1850 entered the Masonic Fraternity…Soon becoming prominent in Masonry he advanced rapidly to the highest honours…Towards this epoch, Pike and (“Pike's great friend, Gallatin”) Mackey received the visit of (poet Henry Wadsworth) Longfellow. This Longfellow was a Scottish Rites Mason who, in 1837, had taken up his residence in the United States, becoming the intimate friend and private secretary of Moses Holbrook, then Sovereign Commander of the Supreme Council of Charleston (Charleston, South Carolina, USA was chosen due to its location on the 33° parallel). The intimacy between Longfellow and (“the Jew, Moses”) Holbrook became quickly serious as both had thoroughly studied the occult sciences and enjoyed discussing the mysteries of the Cabala.” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough Edith Starr Miller (Notable Quotes: “Freemasons and Odd-Fellows, have been used, often against their own knowledge or consent, by the great masters of secret political associations, as so many subordinate cog-

262

wheels in the great machinery of insurrection and rebellion.” - Preface to The Cradle of Rebellions by Lucienne De La Hodde, “member of the detective police,” 1864 A.D. “Nothing is so dangerous as a mystic Association. The object remaining a secret in the hands of the managers, the rest simply put a ring in their own noses, by which they may be led about at pleasure…” – Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D.)

These men studied the Cabala/Kabala/Qabalah as first taught to the fallen angels by God (before their fall) who then taught these mysteries to select members of mankind when they descended to our Earth.

The Independent Order of Oddfellows (I.O.O.F.) is in existence today in both Britain and the United States (in the U.S. it is organized as a Mutual Benefit Corporation), and in about 27 other countries around the world. Per Wikipedia concerning the I.O.O.F.: “notable men and women who were members of the fraternity (include): Warren Austin, Mayor, Senator (Vermont 1931-1946), Ambassador to the UN; Hugo Black, politician and jurist, Owen Brewster, lawyer, politician, Governor, Senator; Wilber Brucker, Governor of Michigan (1931–1932), William Jennings Bryan, U.S. Secretary of State (1913– 1915); (33° Freemason) Robert C.

Also, the British “Independent Order of Oddfellows, Manchester Unity,” and the IOOF have recognized each other interfraternally; members of the Manchester Unity and the IOOF can visit each other’s lodges, and are welcome as brothers and sisters.

Currently, there are about 12,000 lodges with nearly 600,000 members.” – Wikipedia: Independent Order of Odd Fellows Related to Freemasonry is Rosicrucianism. The Freemason’s Rosicrucian brothers (as well as the Oddfellows) are fellow players in the greater Theosophical Movement. The word ‘Rosicrucian’ is German for ‘Rose Cross.’ The 18th Degree in Freemasonry is commonly known as the Rose-Croix (‘Croix’ is French for ‘Cross’), a fact showing their relation to and establishing a link between these two otherwise seemingly diverse organizations. Dr Sigismund Bacstrom, an important Rosicrucian scholar of the alchemical sciences, wrote in Bacstrom’s Rosicrucian Society (circa late 18th to early 19th Centuries A.D.) of “the August most ancient and most learned (Rosicrucian) Society, the Investigators of Divine, Spiritual and Natural Truth (which Society, more than two centuries and a half ago, did separate themselves from the Freemasons…).” Or rather, was an outgrowth of it. This separation was, however, nothing more than cosmetic, and perhaps even job specific. Factions and cells are often peeled off under the ruse of schismatic break with a hidden agenda in mind.

In Treason in America p. 516 we are told of an international meeting of Rosicrucians which took place in Paris during the 19th Century which included the Spiritualist cabinet member Ethan Allan Hitchcock, Secretary of the Interior under Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt and head of the United States organization of Rosicrucians, and Edward Bulwer-Lytton, British Secretary of State for the Colonies, and Carboneri member Napoleon III, the pro-Confederate Emperor of France; and the Carboneri-affiliated Confederate General Albert Pike, the Scottish Rite Leader. Hitchcock lived in St. Louis 264

with a “spiritualist colleague” named William Torrey Harris, the United States Commissioner of Education (as is evidenced in Harris’ Introduction to the Study of Philosophy, psychology is a natural outgrowth of philosophy [which is itself predicated largely on arcane magic practices], particularly as concerns the ‘will,’ which is to say, the mental constructs of the magician). One may recognize the modus operandi of the Illuminati’s hidden hand. Control the education, mold the mind.

The geopolitical landscape as it existed from the mid to late 19th Century in Europe and on so many colonized continents was molded entirely by Freemasonic intreagues of the Scottish Rite masons under the command of the Illuminati Lord Palmerston. And certainly it played a part in fueling the Civil War in America.

(Enter): The Dawn of Magic (aka The Morning of the Magicians) “About the year 1880, in France, in England and in Germany some secret societies of Initiates and members of hermetic orders were founded to which a number of very influential people belonged. The story of this mystical post-romantic (post-Romantic Era) crisis has not yet been written. It deserves to be, as it might throw light upon the origin of several important trends of thought which have determined certain political tendencies. In two letters written by Arthur Machen to Toulet we find the following remarkable passages. In the first, written in 1899, he says: "When I was writing Pan and The White Powder I did not believe that such strange things had ever happened in real life, or could ever have happened. Since then, and quite recently, I have had certain experiences in my own life which have entirely changed my point of view in these matters....Henceforward I am quite convinced that nothing is impossible on this Earth. I need scarcely add, I suppose, that none of the experiences I have had has any connection whatever with such impostures as spiritualism or theosophy. But I believe that we are living in a world of the greatest mystery full of unsuspected and quite astonishing things." In 1900 he wrote as follows: "It may amuse you to know that I sent a copy of my Great God Pan to an adept, an advanced 'occultist' whom I met in secret, and this is what he wrote me: 'The book amply proves that by thought and meditation rather than through reading, you have attained a certain degree of initiation independently of orders or organizations.'" Who was this "adept?" And what were Machen's "experiences?" In another letter, after Toulet had been to London, he wrote: "Mr. (A.E.) Waite, who likes you very much, asks me to send you his best regards." We were interested to learn the name of this friend of Machen and to discover that he was one of the best authorities on alchemy and a Rosicrucian specialist. We had reached this point in our researches into the intellectual interests of Arthur Machen, when a friend revealed to us the existence in England, at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century, of a secret "initiatory" 265

society of Rosicrucian inspiration. [See Nos. 2 and 3 of the review La Tour SaintJacques, 1956: 'L'ordre hermetique de la Golden Dawn' by Pierre Victor.] This society was called the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, and its members included some of the most brilliant minds in the country. Arthur Machen was himself a member. The Golden Dawn, founded in 1887, was an offshoot of the English Rosicrucian Society (the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia [SRIA]) created twenty years earlier by Robert Wentworth Little, and consisted largely of leading Freemasons (Per Freemasonic historian John Yarker: “The Rosicrucian Order in IX degrees [the S.R.I.A., truly a Freemasonic order] was revived in 1866, chiefly by the exertions of [Freemasonic] Brother Kenneth Mackenzie [Kenneth Augustus Muir Mackenzie, 1st Baron Muir-Mackenzie, Labour politican with Oxford University associations, who had resided in Germany; it has made itself most useful to Freemasons by the publication of papers upon occult and abstruse subjects, of a superior kind, emanating from Scotland, Newcastle, York, and London. The first Supreme Magus was [Freemasonic] Bro. R. W. [Robert Wentworth] Little, whose successor was Dr. [William Robert] Woodman, and the present Chief is Dr. W. [William] Wynn Westcott.” - The Arcane Schools Chapter 11. The S.R.I.A. was composed entirely of Master Masons, members of which practiced ceremonial magic rituals involving the conjuration and evocation of Azazel’s group of rebel angels, with whom they would have established contact. It must be noted England retained anti-witchcraft laws [Witchcraft Acts] upon its books which specifically forbade such magic practices as witchcraft, sorceries and conjurations in the British Isles in one form or another often mandating the death or imprisonment of the offender from the year 1542 A.D. until their ultimate repeal in 1951 A.D. Such magic activities as practiced by the SRIA and amongst high-degree Freemasons and cunning persons in England were against the law which most definitely in part accounts for the secretive nature of these secret societies as does the subversive activities in which they were involved. One must not underestimate the importance of Masonic influences upon the geopolitical landscape in 19th - 20th Century Europe. Many of the Masons who founded various political factions were ceremonial magicians. The following sentiment was published in 1898 A.D: “To the eyes of an orthodox Latin Christian these remarks of A. E. Waite are the most damning information which proves the Mystico-Magic Luciferianism to be rampant in the English Masonry, and it will appear more and more clearly that the object of the SOCIETAS ROSICRUCIANA ANGLICA [SRIA] is to promote this Magico-Mystic Luciferianism. For that purpose in less than 40 years, it spread all the world over.” - Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry by L. Fouquet). The latter society (the S.R.I.A.) had about 144 members, including Bulwer-Lytton, author of The Last Days of Pompeii. The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, with a smaller membership, was formed for the practice of ceremonial magic and the acquisition of initiatory knowledge and powers. Its leaders were Woodman (Dr. William Robert Woodman [1828-1891 A.D.] was one of three co-founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He became Supreme Magus of the SRIA after the death of Robert Wentworth Little), (S.L. MacGregor) Mathers (Junior Substitute Magus in the SRIA) and (William) Wynn Westcott (the "occultist" mentioned by Toulet in his letter of 1900 (Wescott succeeded Woodman as Supreme Magus of the SRIA upon his death). It (the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) was in contact with similar German societies (including the German lodge of the Theosophical Society), some of whose members 266

were later associated with Rudolph Steiner's famous anthroposophical movement (which was itself an offshoot of the aforementioned German lodge of the Theosophical Society) and other influential sects during the pre-Nazi period (Rudolph Steiner [1861–1925 A.D.] was world-famous for his Masonic and Rosicrucian based teachings. In An Outline of Occult Science Chapter VIII [Rudolph Steiner, 1922 A.D.] Steiner professes the existence of “beings of the world of soul and spirit who influence from hidden worlds the outer manifested world,” and that a person who is so attuned “receives influences” which the “beings of the spiritual world convey…to him.” Steiner taught of the existence of the rebellious fallen angels being present upon our Earth, and how it was possible to communicate with them). Later on it (the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) came under the leadership of Aleister Crowley, an altogether extraordinary man who was certainly one of the greatest exponents of the neo-paganism whose development in Germany we have noted (Rudolph Steiner was also the the Austrian Chief of the Ordo Templi Orientis [OTO]. See p.99 Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D.). S.L. (Macgregor) Mathers, after the death of Woodman and the resignation of Westcott, was the Grand Master of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, which he directed for some time from Paris (France), where he had just married (French philosopher) Henri Bergson’s sister. Mathers was succeeded in his office by the celebrated poet W.B. Yeats (who joined the GD in 1890 A.D.), who was later to become a Nobel Prize-winner (1923 Nobel Prize in Literature “for his always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation,” the inspiring spirit whose expressions he put in written form being, of course, the fallen angel Azazel! Yeats in The Sorcerers (See The Celtic Twilight, 1893, 1902 A.D., 2nd Edition) writes of “persons in Ireland who try to communicate with evil powers…communicating in states of trance with the angelical and faery beings” and who with “simple invocations” of magic command these beings to “go at our bidding, and help or harm people” in a process which he terms an “arcane science.” Yeats therein provides a description of a magic ceremony (including the requisite animal sacrifice) which he attended in Ireland conducted by a ceremonial magician with the assistance of a trance medium (the “two sorcerers” mentioned therein). Yeats took the name of "Frere Demon est Deus Inversus" ('The Devil is the converse of God'). He used to preside over the meetings dressed in a kilt, wearing a black mask and a golden dagger in his belt. (Welsh author and mystic) Arthur Machen took the name of "Filus Aquarti." The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn had one woman: Florence Farr, Director of the Abbey Theatre and an intimate friend (read: mistress) of Bernard Shaw (formally George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Shaw was associated with the Fabian Society. Shaw’s teachings form the basis of the modern Labour Party in England. Shaw, most notably enough, was also a member of the Theosophical Society. According to its entry in Wikipedia: “…the Fabian Society grew to become the preeminent academic society in the United Kingdom in the Edwardian era, typified by the members of its vanguard Coefficients club…Immediately upon its inception, the Fabian Society began attracting many prominent contemporary figures drawn to its socialist cause, including George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, (Theosophical Society president) Annie Besant, Graham Wallas, Hubert Bland, Edith Nesbit (wife of Hubert Bland; founding member of the Fabian Society; member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and of its 267

successor organization, the Stella Matutina; friend of W.B. Yeats; writer of children’s books), Sydney Olivier, Oliver Lodge, Leonard Woolf and Virginia Woolf, Ramsay MacDonald and Emmeline Pankhurst. Even Bertrand Russell briefly became a member (it is said Bertrand Russell was a friend of Karl Haushofer)…Through the course of the 20th century the group has always been influential in Labour Party circles, with members including Ramsay MacDonald (the first British Labour Party Prime Minister; served two terms), Clement Attlee (British Labour politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1945 - 1951 A.D.), Anthony Crosland (British Labour Party politition, served as Secretary of State for Education and Science, President of the Board of Trade, Secretary of State for Local Government and Regional Planning and Foreign Secretary), Richard Crossman (Labor Party politician/Cabinet Minister), Tony Benn (a British Labour Party politician, former Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister), Harold Wilson (a British Labour Member of Parliament, Leader of the Labour Party and twice Prime Minister of the United Kigdom) and more recently (British Prime Ministers) Tony Blair (leading figure in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process) and Gordon Brown.”). Other members (of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) included: Algernon Blackwood (a member of the Ghost Club of London. During World War I, Algernon Blackwood took up spying while reporting to the Scottish Oxford University graduate John Buchan 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, who became 15th Governor General of Canada (2 November 1935 – 11 February 1940).

From 15 June 1939 – 11 February 1940, John Buchan held the title Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) bestowed upon him by the royal line: “Queen Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was the sovereign of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837, and the first Empress of India of the British Raj from 1 May 1876, until her death…Her reign is known as the Victorian era.” – Wikepedia. The Royal Victorian Order was established in 1896 A.D. by Queen Victoria. The WWI British spy Algernon Blackwood was a founding member of the Theosophical Society in Toronto, Canada in 1891 A.D. [he also lived in America for a time], and upon his return to London in 1899 A.D., he joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), Bram Stoker (the author of Dracula) (a Theosophical Society member, Stoker was also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. As: “business manager of [Sir Henry] Irving's Lyceum Theatre, London [whose productions included The Lady of Lyons by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1878 A.D. Such theatrical groups were popular in America and gave birth to New York City’s Broadway theatre tradition.

U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by a stage actor of such a theatre group known by the name of John Wilkes Booth while in attendance at such a theatrical production at a theatre in Washington D.C. Booth was a known Freemason]…Stoker particularly enjoyed visits to the United States, where Irving was popular. With Irving he was invited twice to the White House, and knew both [U.S. Presidents] William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.” – Wikipedia), Sax Rohmer (aka. Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward (February 15, 1883 - June 1, 1959 A.D.), also a member of one of the factions of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

This English fictional novelist was best known for his Dr. Fu Manchu detective series, a number of which were made into Hollywood movies spanning a period of four decades from 1929 – 1969 A.D. His lesser known novels include The Romance of Sorcery [published 1914 A.D., his only non-fiction book, written on the subject of 268

magic and sorcery of course, no doubt a topic of major interest to him) and Brood of the Witch Queen (1918 A.D.)], Peck, the Astronomer Royal of Scotland (member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Note that even at this late date astronomers were still involved in magic practices), the celebrated engineer Allan Bennett (“Charles Henry Allan Bennett (1872 – 1923 A.D.) was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He was a friend, mentor and associate of author and occultist Aleister Crowley” – Wikipedia. Crowley and Bennett [who lived together for a time while engrossed in magic studies] studied under George Pickingill. “Richard Spence, a consultant for Washington D.C.’s International Spy Museum and author of a biography of the famous spy Sidney Reilly, believes that Crowley was involved in espionage activities for the British Secret Service from his early days as a student at Cambridge University” (See Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult by Richard Spence). “Richard Spence’s book is a well-researched and fascinating account of the clandestine links between occultists and the secret intelligence services of Britain, Europe and the United States.”), and Sir Gerald Kelly (Sir Gerald Festus Kelly P.R.A. (April 9, 1879 – January 5, 1972 A.D.), President of the Royal Academy (the Royal Academy of Arts, located in London, England, was founded in 1768 A.D. by King George III).

“His sister, Rose Edith Kelly, was briefly married to Aleister Crowley,” Wikepedia). It seems that on these exceptional people the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn exercised a lasting influence, and they themselves admitted that their outlook on the world was changed, while the activities they indulged in (most specifically, ceremonial magic rituals invoking the fallen angels, with whom they were in contact) never failed to prove both efficacious and uplifting. The Earth is hollow (the Hollow Earth Theory was popular in Nazi Germany. This theory was based upon the knowledge of the entrapment of Azazel and his angels in their cherub beneath the earth). We are living inside it (their theory was, no doubt, a bit naively, or, most likely, in the interest of disinformation and plausible deniabilty, intentially, flawed). The stars are blocks of ice. Several Moons have already fallen on the Earth.

The whole history of humanity is contained in the struggle between ice and fire.

Man is not finished. He is on the brink of a formidable (evolutionary) mutation which will confer on him the powers the ancients attributed to the gods (read: fallen angels). A few specimens of the New Man (the incarnate fallen angels) exist in the world, who have perhaps come here from beyond the frontiers of time and space.

Alliances could be formed with the Master of the World or the King of Fear (Azazel) who reigns over a city hidden somewhere in the East. Those who conclude a pact (a magic pact with the devil as it were) will change the surface of the Earth and endow the human adventure with a new meaning for many thousands of years. Such are the “scientific” theories and “religious” conceptions on which Nazism was originally based and in which (Adolf) Hitler and the members of his group believed—theories which, to a large extent, have dominated social and political trends in recent history.

This may seem extravagant. Any explanation, even partial, of contemporary history based on ideas and beliefs of this kind may seem repugnant. In our view, nothing is repugnant that is in the interests of the truth. It is well known that the Nazi party was openly, and even flamboyantly anti-intellectual; that it burnt books and relegated the theoretical physicists (such as Albert Einstein) among its “Judaeo-Marxist” enemies.

Less is known about the reasons which led it to reject official Western science, and still less with regard to the basic conception of the nature of man on which Nazism 269

was founded—at any rate in the minds of some of its leaders. If we knew this it would be easier to place the last World War (he speaks of World War II) within the category of great spiritual conflicts: history animated once again by the spirit of La Legende des Siecles (by the spirit of “The Legend of the Centuries,” a collection of poems by French author and statesman Victor Hugo [a reknowned Spiritist whose communications with the spirit world during seances he attended is documented in his book entitled Conversations with Eternity; Hugo authored Les Miserables (a Broadway staple) and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, which would later be the subject of a Hollywood screenplay]. As we learn from Hugo’s religious epic La Fin de Satan (The End of Satan, 1886 A.D.) where he cryptically writes “with a stone [from heaven]…he [God] hid his [Azazel’s] complices three 'neath the earth,” along with Azazel, we discover Hugo is well immersed in the mysteries of Kabala. Of such was the substance of the personas inhabiting the so-called Romantic Era of the mid 18th to mid 19th Centuries in Europe). Hitler used to say: “We are often abused for being the enemies of the mind and spirit. Well, that is what we are, but in a far deeper sense than bourgeois science, in its idiotic pride, could ever imagine.” This is very like what (Hollow Earth Theory proponent) Gurdjieff (the Russian magician, metaphysician and czarist spy George Gurdjieff said to his disciple [P.D.] Ouspensky after having condemned science: “My way is to develop the hidden potentialities of man;; a way that is against Nature and against God” (Gurdjieff, aka Gregor Ivanovich Gurdyev) met (British) Captain John G. Bennett (“John Godolphin Bennett (8 June 1897 – 13 December 1974) was a British mathematician, scientist, technologist, industrial research director, mystic and author…He is perhaps best known for his many books on psychology and spirituality, and particularly the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff. Bennett met Gurdjieff in Istanbul in 1921, and later helped to co-ordinate the work of Gurdjieff in England after Gurdjieff's arrival in Paris. He also was active in starting the British section of the Subud movement, and co-founded its British headquarters…(Bennett served as) Chairman and Director, Institute for the comparative study of History, Philosophy, and the Sciences, Kingston upon Thames, 1946-1959” – Wikipedia: John G. Bennett) in Istanbul, the then head of British Military Intelligence in Constantinople (who would obviously, be subject to the head of the British Military Intelligence in England!). Later, Bennett would become a follower of Gurdjieff and of Ouspensky (See John G. Bennett (1983) Witness). This is yet another magic association with British intelligence networks. Also known as J.G. Bennett of ‘The Fourth Way’ (basically involving a belief in the existence of a Fourth Dimension [what Thomas Lake Harris termed the ‘electro-vital’;; see p.217 The Life and Work of Thomas Lake Harris by Arthur A. Cuthbert], that man in effect has ‘fallen’ from a four-dimensional consciousness into its current 3-D state), a disciple of Gurdjjieff and the founder of a successful alternative community known as Coombe Springs, as well as the Coombe Springs Institute, located at Kingstonupon-Thames in southeast London, England. For much of the 20th century, Kingston-Upon-Thames was a major military aircraft manufacturing centre specialising in fighter aircraft. Which brings us to Indres Shaw who [as per the ‘official’ version] duped Bennett out of his Coombe Springs properties.

Sufi philosopher: “Idries Shah (1924 – 1996 A.D.) was born in Simla, India…Shah mainly grew up in the vicinity of London…his family moved from London to Oxford in 1940 to escape German bombing…Towards the end of the 1950s, Shah established contact with Wiccan circles in London and then acted as a secretary and 270

companion to Gerald Gardner, the founder of modern Wicca, for some time…Shah published his first book Oriental Magic in 1956. He followed this in 1957 with The Secret Lore of Magic: Book of the Sorcerers…Shah came to be recognised as a spokesman for Sufism in the West [most noteably in Palo Alto, California at Stanford University] where he was associated with and lectured as a visiting professor at a number of Western universities [during the 1960s].” - Wikipedia: Indries Shaw (According to the Theosophical Society: “Sufism is Theosophy from the standpoint of Mohammedanism.” - The Path – May 1886, C. H. A. Bjerregaard). No doubt Idries Shaw (another individual with a magic background on a long list who is associated with the British Museum as well as the Oxford Bodleian libraries, decidedly Illuminati in nature) was a major contributing factor to the sad state of affairs of which Christian evangelist Hal Lindsey laments concerning the 1960s resurgence in all things occult in the Introduction to his 1972 A.D. book entitled Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth: “A few years ago I came face to face with a complete reversal in the academic community. An unusual change came over many who had denied any belief in the power of a supernatural God. The indifferent, the scoffers, the proud agnostics in the Age of Rationalism, began to turn to another form of the supernatural.

They became involved in psychic research, parapsychology, ESP (Extra Sensory Perception), mystic philosophies, and Eastern religions (including Buddhism and Sufism). Recently there has been a resurgence in all forms of the occult! Witchcraft and Satan worship spread throughout campuses and cities. In America, a so-called civilized country, people are involved in weird (magic/religious) rites and rituals.”) (writes Gurdjieff’s disciple, P.D. Ouspensky, in Chapter XVI of Tertium Organum, (1922 A.D.): “(Immanuel) Kant admitted not only the possibility of the existence of a spiritual conscious world, but also the possibility of communion with it.” Hence the title of Whitley Strieber’s book, Communion: A True story: “Communion is a book by American ufologist and horror author Whitley Strieber that was first published in February 1987. The book is based on Strieber’s alleged experiences with non-human, possibly extraterrestrial entities.

The book was later made into a film directed by Philippe Mora and starring Christopher Walken as Strieber. A 2008 trade paperback edition presents a new preface by the author. Strieber compares the “familiar” being he sees, whom he describes as female, to the Sumerian goddess Ishtar (who of course represents Azazel’s human wife).” – Wikipedia: Communion. According to Whitley Strieber’s bio: “Whitley Strieber is a Roman Catholic and was formerly associated with the Gurdjieff Foundation. He left the Foundation shortly before the experiences reported in Communion, but remains interested in the mystical teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff and P. D. Ouspensky and makes frequent references to them in his nonfiction writings.” The Gurdjieff Foundation is worldwide, with many chapters in the United States. In 1949 A.D., together with J. G. Bennett (one-time head of British Military Intelligence in Constantinople) and American publisher Jane Heap, Jeanne de Salzmann initiated the startup of an organization which would eventually become the Gurdjieff Foundation. Jane Heap (1883 – 1964 A.D.) importantly enough was owner of The Little Review (Ezra Pound acted as its foreign editor in London) which published many works by influential new writers of the Modernist Movement including Ezra Pound, Theosophical Society members T. S. Eliot and James Joyce as well as those works penned by Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member/ceremonial magician William Butler (W.B.) Yeats. Heap met the 271

Russian ceremonial magician G. I. Gurdjieff during his 1924 A.D. visit to New York City. The following year she moved to Paris, France to study at Gurdjieff’s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. The institute was an esoteric school [read: a school of magic] based on Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way teaching). This idea of the hidden potentialities of Man is fundamental. It often leads to the rejection of science and a disdain for ordinary human beings. On this level very few men really exist. To be, means to be something different. The ordinary man, “natural” man is nothing but a worm, and the Christians’ God nothing but a guardian for worms. Dr. Willy Ley, one of the world’s greatest rocket experts, fled from Germany in 1933 (1933 A.D. is usually seen as the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of Hitler’s Third Reich). It was from him that we learned of the existence in Berlin shortly before the Nazis came to power, of a little spiritual community that is of great interest to us. This secret community was founded, literally, on Bulwer-Lytton’s novel The Coming Race. The book describes a race of men (of incarnate angels) psychically far in advance of ours. They have acquired powers over themselves and over things that make them almost godlike. For the moment they are in hiding. They live in caves in the centre of the Earth. Soon they will emerge to reign over us (again, if the story sounds familiar it is as this is a variation of the story of Azazel who is imprisoned within the earth, and who is later to be released). This appears to be as much as Dr. Ley could tell us. He added with a smile that the disciples believed they had secret knowledge that would enable them to change their race and become the equals of the men (incarnate angels) hidden in the bowels of the Earth (a decidedly Theosophic belief evolutionarily speaking. This is the same promise the serpent Azazel made to Eve as related in Genesis 3:4, namely, that if she should follow his advice, they too would also be like gods, that she and Adam would become like the angels themselves!: “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent [Azazel] beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted…” - 2Corinthians 11:3)…This Berlin group called itself The Luminous Lodge, or The Vril Society. The vril [the notion of the 'vril' is mentioned for the first time in the works of the French writer Jacolliot, (Louis Jacolliot (October 31, 1837 – October 30, 1890 A.D.), author of Occult Science in India) French Consul in Calcutta under the Second Empire] (Theosophical Society founder Helena Blavatsky quotes from Jacolliot’s works in her book Isis Unveiled. Jacolliot held there was an “intimate connection that exists between the doctrines of the ancient Jewish Cabalists and those of the Hindu votaries of the Pitris—or spirits (with whom Hindu mediums communicated; the word ‘Pitris’ is an anagram of the word ‘spirit’)…” - Occult Science in India by Louis Jacolliot, 1919 A.D.) is the enormous energy of which we only use a minute proportion in our daily life, the nerve-centre of our potential divinity. Whoever becomes master of the vril will be the master of himself, of others round him and of the world (the vril force [the ELF wave] is known in The Bible as the “spirit of error”). This should be the only object of our desires, and all our efforts should be directed to that end. All the rest belongs to official psychology, morality, and religions and is worthless. The world will change: the Lords (Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels) will emerge from the centre of the Earth. Unless we have made an alliance with them and become Lords (the evolutionary equals of the angels) ourselves, we shall find ourselves among the slaves, on the dung-heap that will nourish the roots of the New Cities that will arise (the members of the Theosophical Society and its associated societies and offshoots had made such an alliance/magic pact with these angels, and considered 272

their group to be the nucleus of this so-called Coming Race). The Luminous Lodge had associations with the theosophical and Rosicrucian groups. According to Jack Fishman, author of a curious book entitled The Seven Men of Spandau, (Thule Society member and German General) Karl Haushofer (August 27, 1869 – March 10, 1946) (Haushofer was the teacher/mentor of Rudolph Hess, Adolf Hitler's Deputy in the Nazi Party. Haushofer was a student of the Russian magician and metaphysician Gregor Ivanovich Gurdyev [George Gurdjieff]) was a member of this (Freemasonic) lodge (of The Luminous Lodge) (also known as the Vril Society, by definition a Hermetic Order/Hermetic Society). We shall have more to say about him later, when it will be seen that his association with this Vril Society helps to explain certain things. The reader will recall that the writer, Arthur Machen, we discovered was connected with an English society of Initiates, the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn. This neo-pagan society, which had a distinguished membership, was an offshoot of the English Rosicrucian Society (he speaks of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA, a Rosicrucian society in England), founded by (Robert) Wentworth Little (1840 - April 11, 1878 A.D.) in 1867 ( “…derived from the 18th century German Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross…The society claims a link to the original Rosicrucian Brotherhood and bases its teachings on those found in the Fama and Confessio Fraternitas published in the early 17th century in Germany.” Wikipedia). (“The Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross (Orden des Gold- und Rosenkreutz, also known as the Fraternity of the Golden and Rosy Cross) was a German Rosicrucian organization founded in the 1750s by Freemason and alchemist Hermann Fichtuld. Candidates were expected to be Master Masons in good standing (the SRIA was its British counterpart). Alchemy was to be a central study for members. Much of the hierarchical structure for this order was used in S.R.I.A. and from there, the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn.” - Wikipedia) Little (and his group of British Master Masons) was in contact with the German Rosicrucians (Little was in contact with the German Master Masons who made up this group). He recruited his followers, to the number of 144, from the ranks of the higher-ranking Freemasons (the SRIA was a magic group composed of Master Masons). One of his (Robert Wentworth Little’s) disciples was Bulwer-Lytton. Bulwer-Lytton, a learned man of genius, celebrated throughout the world for his novel The Last Days of Pompeii, little thought that one of his books, in some ten years' time, would inspire a mystical pre-Nazi group in Germany (or did he, seeing he was a major player in a vast conspiracy?). Yet in works like The Coming Race or Zanoni (formally Zanoni: A Rosicrucian Tale [by Sir Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, 1842 A.D. The Guardian/Dweller of the Threshhold (compare to H.P. Lovecraft’s ‘fictional’ Lurker at the Threshhold Yog-Sothoth of the Cthulhu Mythos) of which he writes in his own words represents none other than “the Snake which tempted Eve,” who is the Genesis serpent Azazel. For more information concerning the Guardian of the Threshhold, also known as the Angel of Death, see pp. 77-86 of Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and its Attainment, 1944 A.D., by Rudolph Steiner. Steiner therein makes reference to Bulwer-Lytton’s Zanoni. As Steiner elaborates in A Road to Self-Knowledge: “Behind the outer world of ordinary life there is another. Before the threshold of this world a stern guardian is standing (by which being one is confronted and presumably must pass as well as propitiate as he attempts to cross over to the spiritual world, a being who Steiner identifies as “the guardian of the threshold,” an occult reference to the guardian angel Azazel), who prevents man 273

from knowing what the laws of the supersensible world (the “elemental,” spiritual world) are.”]), he set out to emphasize the realities of the spiritual world, and more especially, the infernal world (where Azazel lay imprisoned within the earth). He considered himself an Initiate (which immediately brings to mind Plato’s remark: “The wand-bearers are many, but the initiates are few,” although Bulwer-Lytton, as evidenced by his writings, was truly an Initiate). Through his romantic works of (fact masqueraded as) fiction he expressed the conviction that there are beings (speaks of the incarnate angels) endowed with superhuman powers. These beings will supplant us and bring about a formidable mutation in the elect of the human race. We must beware of this notion of a mutation. It crops up again with Hitler, and is not yet extinct today. Hitler’s aim was neither the founding of a race of supermen, nor the conquest of the world; these were only means towards the realization of the great work he dreamed of. His real aim was to perform an act of creation, a divine operation (a magical working), the goal of a biological (evolutionary) mutation which would result in an unprecedented exaltation of the human race and the “apparition of a new race of heroes and demigods and god-men.” (Dr. Achille Delmas) We must also beware of the notion of the “Unknown Supermen.” It is found in all the “black” mystical (black magic/goetic) writings both in the West and in the East. Whether they live under the Earth or came from other planets, whether in the form of giants like those which are said to lie encased in cloth of gold in the crypts of Thibetan monasteries, or of shapeless and terrifying beings such as (H.P.) Lovecraft describes, do these “Unknown Supermen,” evoked in pagan and Satanic rites, actually exist? When (Aurthur) Machen speaks of the World of Evil, “full of caverns and crepuscular beings dwelling therein,” he is referring, as an adept of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, to that other world in which man comes into contact with the “Unknown Supermen.” It seems certain that Hitler shared this belief, and even claimed to have been in touch with these “Supermen” (Hitler was in actual communication with the angel Azazel!). We have already mentioned the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn and the German Vril Society. We shall have something to say later about the Thule Group. We are not so foolish as to try to explain history in the light of secret societies. What we shall see, curiously enough, is that it all “ties up,” and that with the coming of Nazism it was the “other world” (synonymous with the underworld in reference to the place where Azazel is entrapped) which ruled over us for a number of years (the possibility exists, as the American radio talkshow host George Noory wryly alludes in one of The History Channel’s Ancient Aliens episodes, that aliens [read: incarnate fallen angels, Nordic Aryan in appearance] themselves donned Nazi uniforms. A rather interesting sidenote to this deduction is the curious case of Barney and Betty Hill who in 1961 A.D. allegedly encountered the humanoid occupants of a UFO who had dressed themselves in what was described as ‘Nazi’ uniforms). That world has been defeated, but it is not dead, either on the Rhine or elsewhere. And there is nothing alarming about it: only our ignorance is alarming. We pointed out that Samuel Mathers (S.L. MacGregor Mathers) was the founder of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn.

Mathers claimed to be in communication with these “Unknown Supermen” (read: Mathers claimed to be in communication with Azazel’s group of fallen angels!) and to have established contact with them in the company of his wife, the sister of Henri Bergson. Here follows a page of the manifesto addressed to “Members of the Second Order” in 1896: “As to the Secret Chiefs (Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels) 274

with whom I (Mathers) am in touch and from whom I have received the wisdom of the Second Order which I communicated to you, I can tell you nothing. I do not even know their Earthly names, and I have very seldom seen them in their physical bodies....They used to meet me physically at a time and place fixed in advance (while impossible to meet with Azazel and his group, who are physically imprisoned within the earth, it is quite possible he may have met other incarnate fallen angels from Satan’s group of rebel angels. Though the angels are able to project illusory phenomonom). For my part, I believe they are human beings (in fact they are incarnate angels) living on this Earth, but possessed of terrible and superhuman powers....My physical encounters with them have shown me how difficult it is for a mortal, however “advanced,” to support their presence....I do not mean that during my rare meetings with them I experienced the same feeling of intense physical depression that accompanies the loss of magnetism. On the contrary, I felt I was in contact with a force so terrible that I can only compare it to the shock one would receive from being near a flash of lightning during a great thunderstorm, experiencing at the same time great difficulty in breathing....The nervous prostration I spoke of was accompanied by cold sweats and bleeding from the nose, mouth and sometimes the ears.” Hitler was talking one day to Rauschning, the Governor of Danzig, about the problem of a mutation of the human race. Rauschning, not possessing the key to such strange preoccupations, interpreted Hitler’s remarks in terms of a stock-breeder interested in the amelioration of German blood. “But all you can do,” he replied, “is to assist Nature and shorten the road to be followed! It is Nature herself who must create for you a new species. Up till now the breeder has only rarely succeeded in developing mutations in animals—that is to say, creating himself new characteristics.” “The new man is living amongst us now! He is here!” exclaimed Hitler, triumphantly. “Isn't that enough for you? I will tell you a secret. I have seen the new man. He is intrepid and cruel. I was afraid of him.” “In uttering these words,” added Rauschning, “Hitler was trembling in a kind of ecstasy.” It was Rauschning, too, who related the following strange episode, about which Dr. Achille Delmas, a specialist in applied psychology, questioned him in vain: It is true that in a case like this psychology does not apply: “A person close to Hitler told me that he wakes up in the night screaming and in convulsions. He calls for help, and appears to be half paralysed. He is seized with a panic that makes him tremble until the bed shakes. He utters confused and unintelligible sounds, gasping, as if on the point of suffocation. The same person described to me one of these fits, with details that I would refuse to believe had I not complete confidence in my informant. Hitler was standing up in his room, swaying and looking all round him as if he were lost. ‘It's he, it's he,’ he groaned, ‘he’s come for me!’ His lips were white; he was sweating profusely. Suddenly he uttered a string of meaningless figures, then words and scraps of sentences. It was terrifying. He used strange expressions strung together in bizarre disorder. Then he relapsed again into silence, but his lips still continued to move. He was then given a friction and something to drink. Then suddenly he screamed: ‘There! there! Over in the corner! He is there!’—all the time stamping with his feet and shouting. To quieten him he was assured that nothing extraordinary had happened, and finally he gradually calmed down. After that he slept for a long time and became normal again...” [Hermann Rauschning: Hitler m'a dit. Ed. Cooperation, Paris, 1939. Dr. Achille Delmas: Hitler, essai de biographie psychopathologique. Lib. Marcel Rivimere, Paris, 1946]. We leave it to the reader to 275

compare the statement of Mathers, head of a small neo-pagan society (the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) at the end of the nineteenth century, and the utterances of a man (Hitler) who, at the time Rauschning recorded them, was preparing to launch the world into an adventure which caused the death of twenty million men.

We beg him not to ignore this comparison and the lesson to be drawn from it on the grounds that the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn and Nazism, in the eyes of a “reasonable” historian, have nothing in common (au contriere! the common denominator is fallen angels). The historian may be reasonable, but history is not.

These two men shared the same beliefs: their fundamental experiences were the same, and they were guided by the same force (the Vril/Odic force/the spirit of error/Overshadowing/mental manipulation). They (Mathers and Hitler) belong to the same trend of thought and to the same religion. This religion has never up to now been seriously studied. Neither the Church nor the Rationalists—that other Church— have ever allowed it. We are now entering an epoch in the history of knowledge when such studies will become possible because now that reality is revealing its fantastic side, ideas and techniques which seem abnormal, contemptible or repellent will be found useful in so far as they enable us to understand a “reality” that becomes more and more disquieting. We are not suggesting that the reader should study an affiliation Rosy Cross-Bulwer Lytton-Little-Mathers-Crowley-Hitler, or any similar association which would include also Mme Blavatsky and Gurdjieff. Looking for affiliations is a game, like looking for “influences” in literature; when the game is over, the problem is still there. In literature it’s a question of genius; in history, of power. The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn is not enough to explain the Thule Group, or the Luminous Lodge (also known as the Vril Society), the Ahnenherbe (an occult magic practicing Nazi think-tank). Naturally there are crosscurrents and secret or apparent links between the various groups, which we shall not fail to point out. Like all “little” history, that is an absorbing pastime. But our concern is with “big” history. We believe that these societies, great or small, related or unrelated, with or without ramifications, are manifestations, more or less apparent and more or less important, of a world other (a play on the term ‘other world’) than the one in which we live. Let us call it the world of Evil, in Machen's sense of the word. The truth is, we know just as little about the world of Good. We are living between two worlds, and pretending that this “no-man’s-land” is identical with our whole planet. The rise of Nazism was one of those rare moments in the history of our civilization, when a door was noisily and ostentatiously opened on to something “Other.” What is strange is that people pretend not to have seen or heard anything apart from the sights and sounds inseparable from war and political strife. All these movements: the modern Rosy-Cross, (the Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, the German Vril Society (which will bring us to the Thule Group where we shall find Haushofer, Hess and Hitler) were more or less closely associated with the powerful and well organized Theosophical Society. Theosophy added to neo-pagan magic an oriental setting and a Hindu terminology. Or, rather, it provided a link between a certain oriental Satanism and the West. Theosophy was the name finally given to the whole vast renaissance in the world of magic that affected many thinkers so profoundly at the beginning of the (20 th) century…might there not be, behind all these movements, something far more dangerous which their leaders perhaps know nothing about, being themselves in turn the unconscious tools of a higher power?” (the higher power is of course, the fallen angels) - Excerpted from: The Dawn of Magic 276

by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier 1st published in France under the title “Le Matin des Magiciens” 1960 by Editions Gallimard, Paris From: ‘www.mt.net/~ watcher/hitleraliengoldendawn.html (this last sentiment was lifted word for word from

Rene Guenon’s Theosophism, History of a Pseudo Religion (1921 A.D.) which likewise asks: “...might there not be, behind all these movements, something far more dangerous, which their leaders perhaps know nothing about, being themselves in turn the unconscious tools of a higher power?”). (It must be noted during the World War II German Blitz, as many cities in Britain were being bombed into oblivion, Oxford (where is located Oxford University, ground zero of the magic movement since its earliest beginnings) itself was miraculously spared, this being attributed interestingly enough to “the magical properties of the bells in the belfries of Oxford.” I must say that those who believed this must have had bats in their own belfries! Though the world of magic, no doubt, did play a part. At any rate, according to Nicolas Remy in Demonolatry (1595 A.D.), bells were said to thwart the machinations of the devil and were sometimes employed as a means for excorcism) (Many esoteric/occult roads lead to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO, established in 1945 A.D.], heir of the League of Nations’ International Commission on Intellectual Cooperation [ICIC, established in 1922 A.D.], which included as an august member Nobel prize-winner Henri Bergson (Bergson’s sister was married to S.L. Macgregor Mathers, who was Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Mathers, it must be rembered, had successfully contacted Azazel in the presence of Henri Bergson!).

The ICIC included such distinguished members as Royal Society Foreign Member Albert Einstein (who had connections with the Aleister Crowley-connected OTO in California, and who can also be connected to Carl Jung. Jung (who was associated with the Tavistock Institute) was the father of Allen Watts who was the friend of Aldous Huxley who was the brother of Julian Huxley), Thomas Mann (Nobel prize winning author of such books as The Magic Mountain (1922 A.D.) and Mario and the Magician (1929 A.D.) and Spanish diplomat Salvador de Madariaga, Professor of Spanish at Oxford University (he earned his Masters of Arts at Oxford University), later appointed ambassador to the United States of America and permanent delegate to the League of Nations. The first Director-General of UNESCO was Dr. Julian Huxley (who was, it is important to note, brother of Aldous Huxley). According to Wikipedia: “Huxley also presided over the founding Congress of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (the IHEU; included in the IHEU is the National Secular Society [founded 1866 A.D.] of ex-Christian atheist Charles Bradlaugh, an English Spiritist and member of the Committee of the London Dialectical Society appointed in 1869 to investigate Spiritualism, which society held séances with the reknowned medium Daniel D. Home. In 1874 A.D. Annie Besant became a vice president of Bradlaugh’s National Secular Society, a position she held prior to becoming President of the Theosophical Society in London (“In 1880 Bradlaugh was elected Member of Parliament for Northampton [in England]…Bradlaugh's funeral was attended by 3,000 mourners, including Mohandas Gandhi” – Wikipedia: Charles Bradlaugh)

and served with John Dewey, Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann on the founding advisory board of the First Humanist Society of New York. The First Humanist Society of New York was founded in 1929 A.D. by Charles Francis Potter whose advisory board included Julian Huxley (one of Julian Huxley’s associates of note was Frank Malina, who along with Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory-founder 277

Jack Parsons had founded a company named Aerojet General (Parsons was at the time running an Aleister Crowley-sanctioned O.T.O. temple out of his home in Pasadena, CA, while working at CalTech [where during this period Albert Einstein had been a visiting professor] even infamously chanting Crowley’s Hymn to Pan [Pan = Azazel] before each rocket launch! Parsons was corresponded regularly with Aleister Crowley, even supporting him monetarily). Frank Malina, later, after parting company with Jack Parsons, came to work at UNESCO with Julian Huxley in 1947 A.D.)), John Dewey, Albert Einstein (another scientist with a Pasadena/Caltech connection), and Thomas Mann. In 1930 he and his wife, Clara Cook Potter, published Humanism: A New Religion. By definition, a ‘humanist’ is a proponent or practitioner of humanism. Humanism is rooted in and wholly embraces the practice of magic. As previously noted, according to the Italian Renaissance philosopher Count Giovanni Pico della Mirandola writing in what is considered to be the Renaissance Manifesto and a key document of Humanism, in an essay entitled the Oration on the Dignity of Man, states: “…magic has two forms. One consists wholly in the operations and powers of demons, and consequently this appears to me, as God is my witness, an execrable and monstrous thing. The other proves, when thoroughly investigated, to be nothing else but the highest realization of natural philosophy. The Greeks noted both these forms. However, because they considered the first form wholly undeserving the name magic they called it goeteia, reserving the term mageia, to the second, and understanding by it the highest and most perfect wisdom…The first (goeteia) is the most deceitful of arts;; the second (mageia), a higher and holier philosophy. The former is vain and disappointing; the later, firm, solid and satisfying. The practitioner of the first always tries to conceal his addiction, because it always rebounds to shame and reproach, while the cultivation of the second, both in antiquity and at almost all periods, has been the source of the highest renown and glory in the field of learning. No philosopher of any worth, eager in pursuit of the good arts, was ever a student of the former, but to learn the latter, Pythagoras, Empedocles, Plato and Democritus crossed the seas.…That first form of magic cannot justify any claim to being either an art or a science while the latter, filled as it is with mysteries, embraces the most profound contemplation of the deepest secrets of things and finally the knowledge of the whole of nature.” (“Renaissance Humanism (14th -15th Centuries) saw a resurgence in hermeticism and other Neo-Platonic varieties of ceremonial magic...Alongside the ceremonial magic followed by the better educated were the everyday activities of folk practitioners of magic across Europe, typified by the cunning folk found in Great Britain.” themiddleages.net: History of Magic. Falling into this category are the writings of the German ceremonial magician and invoker of fallen angels, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa). Humanist activities are often anti-Christian in nature. It was the Cosimo de Medici’s (1389 – 1464 A.D.) translations of the esoteric teachings of Neoplatonic, Gnostic and Hermetic texts upon which Humanism was based and which defined the Italian Renaissance (beginning at the end of the 13th century and lasting to about 1600 A.D. One must remember that Hermetic texts teach of the existence of the angel Azazel and of his entrapment within the earth and of the fact that he may in fact be contacted, the basis of most magic practices. The writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (who was in fact an Egyptian god who represented Azazel) formed the foundation of the Renaissance Neoplatonistic revival when Cosimo de Medici refounded Plato’s Academy at Florence in Italy which was known as the 278

Platonic Academy. Amongst this group was Giovanni Pico della Mirandola) (“As an organized movement, Humanism itself is quite recent – born at the University of Chicago in the 1920s, and made public in 1933 with the publication of the first Humanist Manifesto. The American Humanist Association was incorporated as an Illinois non-profit organization in 1943. The International Humanist and Ethical Union was founded in 1952, when a gathering of world Humanists met under the leadership of Sir Julian Huxley.” – Wikipedia: Secular Humanism. A major Humanistic training institute called The Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies was founded in Aspen, Colorado in 1949 A.D. with its central office in New York City in order to carry out advanced seminars in global ideology and humanistic studies (likely the source of the Secora Seminar). The Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies trains “leading officials of the Trilateral commission, the White House, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation…the World Bank, the Council on Foreign Relations (the CFR)…etc” (See “Global Ideology, Humanistic Studies and the Aspen Institute,” Freeman Digest, Michael Loyd Chadwick, 1979 A.D.) (Notable Quote: “In his autobiographical account, written years later, (H.G.) Wells described the dilemma facing Britain at the time he was attending the monthly sessions of the elite Coefficients Club. The Coefficients was a cross between a diners club and a modern think-tank, which met monthly over dinners at London's St. Ermin’s Hotel from 1902 to 1908. Among the members of this unappetizing group was the powerful Lord Robert Cecil, elder statesman (thrice elected British Prime Minister) of Britain's most powerful family, and cousin to Arthur Balfour (author of the Balfour Declaration), then serving as Conservative Prime Minister. Lord Alfred Milner, the High Commissioner of South Africa, was a regular. A factional ally of Milner's in the serious debate that went on at these affairs was Halford Mackinder, the newly appointed head of the London School of Economics and originator of the doctrine of geopolitics, who Hitler’s ghostwriter for Mein Kampf, Maj.-Gen. Karl Haushofer, acknowledged as his source. Another Milner ally was Leo Amery, later intimate of Winston Churchill (“During the Great War [WWI] his [Leo Amery’s] language skills led to his employment as an Intelligence Officer in the Balkans.

Later as an under-secretary in Lloyd George’s national government he helped draft the Balfour Declaration (1917). He also encouraged [Zeev] Jabotinsky in the formation of the Jewish Legion of the British Army [members of the Jewish Legion included David Ben-Gurion, first Israeli Prime Minister, Israel’s third Prime Minister, Levi Eshkol, Yaakov Dori, Haganah leader and first Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces [IDF], and James Armand de Rothschild, D.C.M. [Distinguished Conduct Medal] Major, 39th Royal Fusiliers Battalion and Captain Royal Canadian Dragoons, a member of the Rothschild family. One member of the Rothschild family, namely Israeli Major General Danny Rothschild, coordinated IDF operations in the early 1990’s]. He [Leo Amery] was First Lord of the Admiralty (1922–1924) under Andrew Bonar Law and Stanley Baldwin then later a very active Colonial Secretary (1924–1929).” – Wikipedia: Leo Amery). The Earl Bertrand Russell was there, sometimes making up a faction of one (Bertrand Russell was a philosopher, mathematician, social activist and logician, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Nobel prize in Literature winner, 1950 A.D., a member of the House of Lords 1892 A.D., a member of the Fabian Society as well as a member of the Cambridge Apostles). The Viscount Edward Grey, a hereditary peer who was to play a crucial role in shaping the post World War I era, attended regularly. Sidney and 279

Beatrice Webb, Fabian (Society) socialists who would soon embrace Benito Mussolini (Italian dictator and key Hitler ally, numbered amongst the Axis forces in WWII), were regulars…The charge of Hess’s membership in Buchman’s cult is both credible and interesting. Long before he met Hitler, Hess was a member of satanist Aleister Crowley's Isis cult, known as the Ordo Templi Orientes (OTO), which crossed over into Crowley's satanic (Hermetic) Order of the Golden Dawn, popular among students at Cambridge (University) and Oxford (University).

Born in Egypt, Hess bought an Egyptian sarcophagus for his burial, but proved too tall to fit in it; when he died, his legs had to be amputated and buried separately.

After the Munich putsch of 1923, Hess shared a jail cell with Hitler for nine months at the same time Mein Kampf was being written, by aid of frequent visits from its real author, Bertrand Russell’s friend Karl Haushofer. Recall that Mein Kampf foresaw an alliance between Germany and England to fight the Russian peril. It is supposed that Hess helped Hitler, to a deeper understanding of the occult.” December 20, 2002 issue of Executive Intelligence Review by Larry Hecht) (Curiously enough [possibly in an effort to distance itself from its roots, or perhaps in an effort to eradicate the competition], the February 2011 issue of the International Humanist News magazine (p.10) speaks of the “resolve of the Humanists [propounders of ‘white magic’] to fight the scourge of black magic which inflicts society.” Appearently, to Humanists, white magic presents no such scourge, this quite probably representing an age-old clash between practitioners of black magic against the practitioners of white magic [comparable to that of a white-magic practicing cunning man’s creation of a witch-bottle in order to counteract the evil forces unleashed by the black magic attacks of a witch**]: “…to the secret council of adepts, humanity’s purpose has always been the creation of a race of perfected beings - the superman if you like. This thesis has lead to a widespread conspiracy and indeed struggle between adepts of the black and white brotherhoods, either to preserve the secret agenda of humanity or to mould it to their own ends. In the twentieth century things are said to have come to a head when the struggle between good and evil magi culminated in two brutal world wars.” – Mogg Morgan, 2008 A.D (http://mogg-morgan.blogspot.com), an Oxford University graduate and “former member of the OTO, a founder of the Oxford Golden Dawn Occult Society and a Zonule holder of east/west Tantrik order AMOOKOS. His daytime job is CEO of innovative ‘new age’ publisher Mandrake of Oxford”)) (** One prominent example is: “‘Operation Cone of Power,’ when the witches, as they claim, sent up a force against Hitler's mind [This entailed the creation of a magic circle: “This circle (“the witches’ traditional ninefoot circle”) is drawn with the idea of ‘containing’ the ‘power’ which is raised within it, of bringing it to a focus, so to speak, so that some end may be accomplished by raising it. This focusing of force is called ‘The Cone of Power.’” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D.]. This is documentarily an important enough part of the history of witchcraft to quote verbatim from Gardner's own mouth. He refers to it in both of his witchcraft books, and it has been repeatedly referred to by reviewers and columnists. The most complete details now available are thus: "We were taken at night to a place in the Forest, where the Great Circle was erected; and that was done which may not be done except in great emergency. And the great Cone of Power was raised and slowly directed in the general direction of Hitler. The command was given: 'You cannot cross the Sea. You cannot cross the Sea. You Cannot Come: You Cannot Come.’ Just as, we were told, was done to Napoleon, when he had his army ready to invade England and never came. And, as was done to the Spanish Armada, mighty forces were used, of which I may not speak. Now to do this means

using one's life-force; and many of us died a few days after we did this. My asthma, which I had never had since I first went out East, came back badly. We repeated the ritual four times; and the Elders said: 'We feel we have stopped him. We must not kill too many of our people.

Keep them until we need them…'" - by Idries Shah, 1960 A.D. Chapter 13. It is of this very same incident of which Francis King writes in Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism p.178-179 (1989 A.D): “On at least one occasion the (New Forest) Hampshire witches indulged in human sacrifice—but done in such a way that there could not possibly be any legal unpleasantnesses. This was done in May 1940, when Hitler’s invasion (of England) was felt to be imminent. The witches felt that it was essential that he should be deterred from invasion plans by a powerful ritual, the central point of which was to be the death of a (volunteer) sacrificial victim. The oldest and frailest member volunteered for sacrifice and left off his protective grease (which was employed to protect its user from the cold) so that he might die of the effects of exposure. Unfortunately enough, it was the coldest May night for many years, and not only the volunteer but two other members of the coven died from pneumonia within the next fortnight.” For this reason Theurgy [ceremonial magic] is known as the ‘Telestic Work’ due to the ‘telestic currents’ it was said were manipulated by the Will of the magician, such as exemplified by Operation Cone of Power, an attempt at the focused broadcast [as the root ‘tel’ would imply] of the ELF waves generated by the mind [the Will] of the magician. The following account is contained in a Q&A in Alex Sanders biography King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders: “Q: In all the time that witchcraft has been worked, have there been no major victories? A: Certainly. When the (Spanish) Armada was sighted in July 1588, witches all over Britain passed the word calling for a grand sabbath to combine their powers. While Drake was finishing his game of bowls, witches from far and wide were risking their lives to meet in small groups and conjure up the north-westerly gale that crippled the ships from the home of the Inquisitors (the Spanish Inquisiton). More recently, when it was thought that the Germans would invade England in the Second World War, another grand sabbat was called. In the New Forest over four hundred witches met to celebrate the grand mass. To increase the potency of their power, they accepted the offer from some of the members to be willing sacrifices, for although our god demands none, it accepts voluntary victims as proof of their faith, as, I suppose, Jesus Christ accepts Christian martyrs.

No witch was killed that night but many were scourged with real whips, and some sent out so much of their vital life-force into their familiars that they subsequently died. That week dense mists and fogs obscured the English Channel; the invasion was called off. We believe it was due to witchcraft.” – pp. 126-127 King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders by June Johns, 1969 A.D.) (The Modernist Movement in keeping with the Illuminati agenda

was also influenced by Theosophy: “Pablo Picasso, a robust atheist, spent many a turn-of-the-century evening reading tarot cards (smoking opium at the same time gave added piquancy). Amedeo Modigliani was partial to Ouija boards, and attended seances to see if there was anybody out there in the ‘great beyond’ … Kandinsky, Paul Gauguin, Constantin Brancusi, Theo van Doesburg, Johannes Itten, Walter Gropius (for a while), Robert Delauney, Aleksandr Scriabin, Arnold Schoenberg, Paul Klee, Franz Marc, Boris Pasternak, Aleksandr Blok, Katharine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot - all were great pioneers of Modernism, and all were involved in Theosophy and its unpronounceable spin-offs, such as Anthroposophy, Christosophy, Theozoology and Ariosophy. In fact, from fin de siecle (French for ‘end of the century,’ in this case, the 19th Century) Paris to 1950s New York (Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock were both one-time disciples of Eastern gurus), a fascination with magic, the occult and the supranatural were integral to the Modernist spirit.” - Art and Theosophy, 2003 A.D.) Hermann Rauschning (August 7, 1887 – February 8, 1982), Governor of 281

Danzig, called Hitler’s brand of government “magic socialism” and Hitler a “high priest of a secret religion.” Indeed, as we read in the pages of The Morning of the Magicians: “it was under the influence of (Bertrand Russell’s friend) Karl Haushofer that the (Thule) Group took on its true character of a society of Initiates in communion with the Invisible (read: in communication with the rebel fallen angels), and became the magic center of the Nazi movement (which hid beneath the cloak of National-Socialism). Hitler was born in Braunau-am-Inn…an Austro-Bavarian frontier town, where two great German states met…It enjoyed the singular reputation of being the birthplace of a number of (Spritist) mediums (Germanic author Joseph Ennemoser in his book The History of Magic circa. 1854 A.D. writes: “if…a man has the natural disposition, he may by the power of his soul communicate with the divine and angelic world…” – p.12 The History of Magic Volume I)…Jean de Pange wrote, in 1940:

“Braunau is a center for mediums. One of the best known is Mme. Stokhammes who, in 1920, married in Vienna Prince Joachim of Prussia. It was also from Braunau that the Munich spiritualist, Baron Schrenk-Notzing, recruited his subjects, one of whom was in fact a cousin of Hitler’s.” Occultism teaches that, after concluding a pact with hidden forces, the members of the Group cannot evoke these forces save through the intermediary of a (ceremonial) magician who, in turn, can do nothing without a medium. It would seem therefore that Hitler must have been the medium, and (Bertrand Russell’s friend) Haushofer the magician. Rauschning, in describing the Fuhrer (Hitler), wrote as follows: ‘One cannot help of thinking of him as a medium…beyond any doubt…Hitler was possessed (read: Overshadowed) by forces outside himself—almost demoniacal forces of which the individual named Hitler was only the temporary vehicle.’ … the medium who is possessed by outside forces is not necessarily conscious of their strength, nor in the direction they are leading him. He dances to a tune that is not his own” (Indeed, one of the main tenets of Allen Kardec’s Mediums and Evokers’ Handbook (1861 A.D.) is: “Most mediums are under the risk of being overwhelmed by evil spirits and made their puppets.”). It continues: “Rudolf Hess had been Haushofer’s assistant when the latter was a professor at the University of Munich. It was he who had brought Haushofer and Hitler together…Hess, the last survivor of the Thule Group, is said to have stated formally that Haushofer was the magician” [See The Seven Men of Spandau by Jack Fishman, 1954 A.D.]). It was said this represented: “a magical preparation for the coming of a Man-God, the New Man who the Powers (read: the rebel fallen angels) will establish on the Earth…” (Interestingly enough, C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity employs this very same term when he calls “Christ the ‘first instance’ of the new man…not merely a new man, one specimen of the species, but the new man. He is the origin and centre and life of all the new men.”)

“Ariosophy (as proffered by Guido von List and a sorcerer named Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels) is an ideological system (including ceremonial magic practices) based on Germanic paganism (based on the worship of the Germanic god Wotan/Wodan [compare to Odin], a god who represented the angel Azazel) influenced by Theosophy as well as the Theosophical Society which inspired numerous others as well as a number of organizations in Germany and Austria during the years of the occult revival in Austria and Germany of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Thule Society was considered to be such an ariosophic organzization: “The Thule Society (a Germanic (völkisch) study group/literary 282

group called the Thule Gesellschaft), from which the NSDAP (the National Socialist German Workers’ Party) originated, was one of the ariosophic groups of the 1920s (Ariosophic interests include studies and practices of Qabalah. Famous adherents of Ariosophy in Hitler’s hierarchy included Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels). Thule Gesellschaft had initially been the name of the Munich lodge of the Germanenorden (Germanenorden Walvater of the Holy Grail; the god Walvater is Wotan in triple form, Wotan representing of course, the angel Azazel. The Holy Grail represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth). It took its name from an alleged lost continent Thule, which was assumed to be the mythical homeland from which the Aryan race had originated.

Atlantis at least, and most likely also Hyperborea, were taken to be identical with Thule. The superiority of Aryans over all other races was a key concept and the members of various Germanenorden lodges (based on a Freemasonic order) saw themselves (as Teutons or Germanic peoples) as the ‘purest’ branch of the Aryan race.” – Wikipedia: Ariosophy (Such beliefs in the superiority of Aryans over all other races was used to defend the Continental European, British and American slave trades (The Atlantic Slave Trade, aka the Maafa. There was also an Arabian slave trade). Many white southerners and Negro slave holders such as exemplified by the likes of Freemasonic Confederate general Albert Pike adhered to a like Aryan philosophy. Negros were considered to be inferior to and less human than their wholly Aryan human counterparts (such slaves were considered to be a slave-holder’s property, an asset to be bought and sold). By the beginning of the 19th Century legal slavery had been abolished in America and Europe as well as in the countries composing the mighty British Empire (the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 A.D. abolished all slavery in the British Empire. Slavery was abolished in America in 1865 A.D. with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In 1886 A.D., Spain became the last country in Europe to abolish slavery. U.N. Article 4 of the Declaration of Human Rights banned slavery globally in 1948 A.D. There are however more illegally held slaves today than there have been legally held slaves in the entire history of the world). Also to be considered is the late 19th Century race to establish European colonies in Africa (as well as in Asia) which resulted in a repressive, exploitative colonial system which continued in some countries of the world as late as the mid 1990’s A.D. as South Africa at long last gained independence from England in 1994 A.D. European countries which carved out colonies in Africa include Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. In South Africa, this effort was led by the great University of Oxford Doctor of Civil Law slash English imperialist Cecil Rhodes, a 33° Freemason who had become a Freemason in the Apollo University Lodge while there in attendance at the University (Rhodes was a firm believer in the superiority of Aryans over all other races, a typical belief of the times held by Ariosophic societies and by the Theosophical Society itself. And as a 33° Freemason, Rhodes would certainly be familiar with ceremonial magic practices, as these were incorporated into Freemasonic rituals). For the financial backing and execution of Britain’s South African colonial business enterprise: “The Rothschild bank (of London; the Rothschilds are a European family of German Jewish origin) funded Cecil Rhodes (founder of the De Beers diamond company, founded 1888 A.D., and headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa) in the development of the British South Africa Company (it received its royal charter in 1889 A.D., sanctioning imperialistic ventures, colonization and economic exploitation of the territories it administered) and Leopold de Rothschild (1845-1917) administered Rhodes’s estate after his death in 1902 and helped to set up the Rhodes Scholarship scheme at Oxford University (such scheme being based on the famous Rhodes adage: "Wherever you turn your eye…an Oxford man is at the top of the tree." Recall the Illuminati goal of infiltrating organizations)…Rhodes included American students as eligible for the Rhodes scholarships (most notably, U.S. President Bill Clinton was such a Rhodes Scholar). He (Rhodes) said that he wanted to breed an American elite of philosopher-kings who would have the United States

283

rejoin the British Empire (also a common Illuminati tactic. See Proofs of a Conspiracy).” – Wikipedia: Rothschild banking family of England. Some areas in Africa still retain a strong European influence over affairs of state to this day, a holdover from the days of European colonization (one may successfully make the case some nations are today are subjects of Corporate Colonization). A number of countries also retain sizable (economically and politically influential) populations of European Aryan nationals, the existence of which is at times used to justify military excursions by European powers into said countries) (“Occult circles have long been known as covers for espionage and influence peddling. Hitler's spy apparatus under Canaris and Heydrich were well aware of these conduits, particularly from the direction of Britain which had within its MI5 intelligence agency a department known as the Occult Bureau. That these potential sources of trouble were purged from Nazi life should not be taken to mean that Hitler and the Nazi secret societies were not influenced by mystical and occult writers such as Madame Blavatsky, Houston Stewart Chamberlain (Chamberlain, an Englishman, was married to the daughter of Richard Wagner and was by his own admission demon-posessed. Notable quote: “It is probably no exaggeration to say, as I have heard more than one follower say, that Chamberlain was the spiritual founder of the Third Reich.” – Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth), Guido Von List, Lanz Von Liebenfels, Rudolf Steiner, George Gurdjieff, Karl Haushofer and Theodor Fritsch. Although Hitler later denounced and ridiculed many of them, he did dedicate his book Mein Kampf to his teacher Dietrich Eckart.

Both Gurdjeiff and Haushofer maintained that they had contacts with secret Tibetan Lodges that possessed the secret of the “Superman.” The lodge included Hitler, Alfred Rosenberg (a follower of H.P.Blavatsky. See Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi Involvement with the Occult by Peter Levenda, 1995 A.D.), Himmler, Goring, and Hitler's subsequent personal physician Dr. Morell. It is also known that Aleister Crowley and Gurdjieff sought contact with Hitler. Hitler's unusual powers of suggestion become more understandable if one keeps in mind that he had access to the “secret” psychological techniques of the esoteric lodges.

Haushofer taught him the techniques of Gurdjieff which, in turn, were based on the teachings of the Sufis and the Tibetan Lamas- and familiarized him with the Zen teaching of the Japanese Society of the Green Dragon. The Nazi-Tibet connection is fascinating. The Vril Society believed that after the fall of Thule its survivors settled in Tibet, living in caves under the mountains performing magic.” – The Unknown Hitler: Nazi Roots in the Occult) (Even the well known comic-book denizen Superman© owes his existence to that of the story of the rebellious fallen angels. The concept of the ‘Superman’ belongs to the realm of the Theosophical Society, Jewish mysticism, ancient mystery religions, ceremonial magic and of course, Adolf Hitler (the ‘formal term’ Superman (Übermensch) was at first introduced by 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche). It is in this Jewish mystical tradition wherein two Jews named: “(Jerry) Siegel and (Joseph) Shuster created a bald telepathic villain named “The Superman,” bent on dominating the entire world. He appeared in the short story “The Reign of the Super-Man” from Science Fiction #3, a science fiction fanzine that Siegel published in 1933. Siegel re-wrote the character in 1933 as a hero, bearing little or no resemblance to his villainous namesake…” (in this hero form Superman© makes his famous debut in Action Comics© #1 , June 1938 A.D.). – Wikipedia: Superman. Superman© appeared in American pop culture three months following Hitler’s annexation of Austria in March, 1938 A.D., an action which history identifies as an opening salvo of what was to become ‘the war to end all wars,’ World War II, a state of ‘total war’ resulting in the deadliest conflict in all of human history punctuated by the Jewish Holocaust and an introduction to the horrors of the world’s first use of atomic weaponry. Recall it was the German Nazi “underground supermen” (also known as the ‘Unknown Supermen’) said to live beneath the Earth’s surface of whom the Rosicrucian author Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote, upon which legend the Thule Society was based, and from whom, Hitler professed, he took his marching orders. It would seem the superhero Superman© was based upon the story of the angel Azazel. Recall also that the incarnate extraterrestrial Superman© (aka Clark Kent) was crazy in love with Lois Lane who would later become his human wife (in 1995 A.D.). As must also

284

be noted, the creators of Superman© Jerry Siegel and Joseph Shuster also created the magicusing superhero known as Doctor Occult© who battles the forces of a fallen angel named Asmodel (recall Asmodeus, king of demons who represents of course, Azazel. Magic was often employed in an effort to protect the people from these fallen angels) who, having been released from Hell threatens the Earth with demonic invasion! Doctor Occult© made his first appearance in New Fun Comics© #6 in 1935 A.D. Other comic book characters based upon the legend of the fallen angel Azazel include the Angel who first appeared in Marvel Comics #1 (October 1939), who was according to its selection in Wikipedia, “the primary force behind the murderous vigilante group Scourges of the Underworld,” as well as the superhuman superhero known as the Destroyer who made his debut in Mystic Comics #6 (Oct. 1941). The word ‘mystic’ is synonymous with the word ‘magic.’ The Marvel Comics© character Thor, who made an Aug. 1962 A.D. debut at the beginning of the 1960’s resurgence in all things occult in America, modeled on the Norse god of the same name, also represents the angel/god Azazel) (Author C.S. Lewis refers to the “Supermen” (who are Azazel and his angels) as the New Men, likening them to a group of humans transfigured/resurrected by Christ to eternal life (See Mere Christianity, pp.183-184), such as that special group mentioned in Hebrews 12:23, “the general assembly” of “just men made perfect” (this seems to have been a common misconception). Indeed, true to his Theosophical leanings, Lewis considered the incarnate fallen angels to be an evolutionary advanced group of beings well beyond us less evolutionary developed members of humanity, he even going as far as to declare: “The Devil was an archangel once, his natural gifts were as far above yours as yours are above a chimpanzee.” – Beyond Personality (C.S. Lewis, 1945 A.D., “Oxford don and Cambridge Professor,” author of such well-known magical children’s tales as The Chronicles of Narnia including The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as well as The Magician’s Nephew. C.S. Lewis was a close friend of J. R. R. Tolkien, author of the magic infused, fallen angels’ legend-based Lord of the Rings trilogy, both authors being leading figures in the English faculty at Oxford University as well as in the Oxford literary group infamously known as the “Inklings,” a group of literary men mostly associated with Oxford University faculty members incorporated into a literary salon of sorts. One Inkling of note was Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886-1945 A.D.), an editor of the Oxford University Press as well as a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. As illuminated by Arthur Machen in his Selected Letters, Williams “had been an active member of A.E. Waite's Fellowship of the Rosy Cross from 1917-28.” As an Inkling, Williams was associated with C.S. Lewis as well as well as American-born English poet, Nobel-prize winner, Oxford University attendee, and Theosophical Society member T.S. Eliot (also a neighbor of philosopher Bertrand Russell, who lived in the same flat). Eliot was a friend of Fabian Society member Leonard Woolf (both being of the Jewish persuasion), the husband of Virginia Woolf. Eliot was also friends with Theosophical Society/Bohemian Club/Scroll and Key member Mark Twain and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member W.B. Yeats. Famous Inklings include Lord David Cecil (a member of England’s most powerful family. His father was first cousin to Arthur Balfour), Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford from 1948 - 1970 A.D. Note the interconnectivity of these seemingly diverse groups, each and everyone of them associated with magic practices and the invocation of fallen angels. Doubtless the Freemasons were also included within this grouping. Its represents the early pulling together of diverse magic practicing groups into one cohesive grouping. The Fabian Society and its affiliates gave birth to the British Labour Party, so important to the cause which resulted in the successful repeal of the Witchcraft Acts in England, a marked sign of the waning supremecy of the papacy with which witchcraft has long been at war. Today, 60 years later, the goings-on at the Bohemian Grove represent the pinnacle of global power martialed by the world’s united magic practicing groups) (One curious pastime which some Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members such as Aleister Crowley, Algernon Blackwood and Nicholas Roerich shared was a penchant for mountain climbing in the Himalayas. Seems they were searching for Shamballah! (This realization I must admit made me quite literally laugh out loud ):

285

“During the 19th century, Theosophical Society founder HP Blavatsky alluded to the Shambhala myth, giving it currency for Western occult enthusiasts. Blavatsky, who claimed to be in contact with a Great White Lodge (Azazel’s group of fallen angels) of Himalayan Adepts, mentions Shambhala in several places without giving it especially great emphasis.

(The Mahatmas (read: fallen angels), we are told, are also active around Shigatse and Luxor) (at Shigatze is located a temple dedicated to the Buddhist Matreiya, who is Azazel) Blavatsky's Shambhala, like the headquarters of the Great White Lodge, is a physical location on our earth, albeit one which can only be penetrated by a worthy aspirant. Later esoteric writers further emphasized and elaborated on the concept of a hidden land inhabited by a hidden mystic brotherhood whose members labor for the good of humanity. (Theosophical Society President) Alice A. Bailey has Shamballa (her spelling) to be an extra-dimensional or spiritual reality on the etheric plane, a spiritual centre where the governing deity of Earth, Sanat Kumara (the Eternal Youth, Azazel), dwells as the highest Avatar of the Planetary Logos of Earth, and is said to be an expression of the Will of God. Nicholas and Helena Roerich led a 1924-1928 expedition aimed at Shambhala. Inspired by Theosophical lore and several visiting Mongol lamas (Shamans), Gleb Bokii, the chief Bolshevik cryptographer and one of the bosses of the Soviet secret police, along with his writer friend Alexander Barchenko, embarked on the quest for Shambhala in an attempt to merge Kalachakra-tantra and ideas of Communism in the 1920s. They contemplated a special expedition to Inner Asia to retrieve the wisdom of Shambhala - the project that fell through as a result of intrigues within the Soviet intelligence service and rival efforts of the Soviet Foreign Commissariat that sent its own expedition to Tibet in 1924. Among other things, in a secret laboratory affiliated with the secret police, Bokii and Barchenko also experimented with Buddhist spiritual techniques, trying to find a key to engineer perfect communist human beings. Similarly, Heinrich Himmler and Rudolf Hess sent a German expedition to Tibet in 1930, and then again in 1934-35, and in 1938-39. Some later occultists, noting the Nazi link, view Shambhala (or the closely related underground realm of Aghartha) as a source of negative manipulation by an evil (or amoral) conspiracy (a conspiracy hatched, of course, by the rebellious fallen angels).” – Wikipedia: Shambhala) (Another conspiracy hatched by the fallen angels, namely the creation of the Theosophical Society, in one sense exemplifies a tragic case of worldly compromise for those who wholly embrace it, a scheme hatched with the expressed intent to bring about the “reconciliation of Asia and Europe” (and with it America) as well as that of all faiths and creeds whereby Azazel might thereby emerge as the next of in a long line of spiritual Teachers: “We are beginning to understand that Jesus, at the very height of his consciousness, the transfigured Christ, is opening his loving arms to his brothers, the other Messiahs who preceded him, beams of the Living Word as he was, that he is opening them wide to Science in its entirety, Art in its divinity, and Life in its completeness. But his promise cannot be fulfilled without the help of all the living forces of humanity. Two main things are necessary nowadays for the continuation of the mighty (the great) work: on the one hand, the progressive unfolding of experimental science and intuitive philosophy to facts of psychic order, intellectual principles, and spiritual proofs (psychical research); on the other, the expansion of Christian dogma in the direction of tradition and esoteric science, and subsequently a reorganization of the Church according to a graduated initiation (as is the case with the Kabbalah Centre,and in Illuminati and Freemasonic lodges); this by a free and irresistible movement of all Christian churches, which are also equally daughters of the Christ.

Science must become religious and religion scientific. This double evolution, already in preparation, would finally and forcibly bring about a reconciliation of Science and Religion on esoteric grounds. The work will not progress without considerable difficulty at first, but the future of European Society depends on it. The transformation of Christianity, in its esoteric sense would bring with it that of Judaism and Islam, as well as a regeneration of Brahmanism and Buddhism in the same fashion, it would accordingly furnish a religious basis for the reconciliation of Asia and Europe.” - Jesus, the Last Great Initiate Chapter VII p.124-125 (Edouard Schuré, 1908 A.D.). Schuré, a proponent of Monism, in an attempt to effect such a

286

reconciliation, held that: “…six Messiahs who have already appeared on earth;; the seventh is himself (Jesus), and this Cup signifies the Sacrifice he must undergo, by incarnating himself on earth in his turn.” - Jesus, the Last Great Initiate (Edouard Schuré, 1908 A.D.) CHAPTER IV p.85-86. The next ‘great teacher’ of Monism, the False Prophet, will be Azazel, also known as Maitreya. As Theosophist Benjamin Crème, also expounding Monism, explains it: “Maitreya is the Christ to Christians, the Imam Mahdi to Muslims, Krishna to Hindus, the Messiah to Jews, and Maitreya Buddha to Buddhists.” According to the Share International website, Maitreya “has been expected for generations by all the major religions…Although the names differ, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher, whose personal name is Maitreya.” Edouard Schuré (1841-1929 A.D.) was a French author who influenced Rudolph Steiner, the German founder of Anthroposophy, a group composed of disenfranchised German ex-Theosophical Society members [personally I believe this is a common excuse to form a new goal-orientated franchise group]. And indeed, one of Steiner’s professed wishes was to unite all magic practicing groups and individuals into one great International Bund [not to create a division])

Another man whose influence was apparent on various members of the Thule Society was German author/poet/journalist/playright Guido von List: “Guido von List (October 5, 1848 – May 17, 1919) was strongly influenced by the Theosophical thought of (Theosophical Society founder) Madame (H.P.) Blavatsky, which he blended with his own racial religious beliefs, founded upon Germanic paganism…A look at the signatories of the first announcement concerning support for a Guido-von-List-Gesellschaft (Guido von List Society), circa 1905, reveals that List had a following of some very prestigious people and shows that List, his ideology and his influence had widespread and significant support, including that amongst public figures in Austria and Germany.” – Wikipedia: Guido von List (“In 1908 von List founded the Armanen Initiates, the inner order of the modestly-entitled Guido von List Society. His doctrines centered upon ideas of racial purity – von List believed the Germanic peoples, the Armenen, had originally been a race of supermen…Guido was its last pure-blooded survivor.” – p.34 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley, 1999 A.D. Von List spoke of a great ‘international Jewish conspiracy’ (Ibid p.34). This is the same sentiment expressed in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion first published in Russia in 1903 A.D., a mere two years before the ‘official’ inauguration of the Guido von List Society in 1905 A.D. Later: “…in 1912, several German occultists with radical anti-semitic inclinations decided to form a ‘magic’ lodge, which they named the Order of Teutons. The main founders were Theodor Fritsch, a publisher of an antiSemitic journal; Philipp Stauff, pupil of the racist Guido von List, and Hermann Pohl, the order's chancellor (Pohl would drop out three years later to found his own bizarre lodge, the Walvater Teutonic Order of the Holy Grail). The Order of Teutons was organized along the lines of the Freemasons or the Rosicrucians, having differing degrees of initiation, only persons who could fully document that they were of pure ‘Aryan’ ancestry were allowed to join.” - The Unknown Hitler: Nazi Roots in the Occult

“Living in Vienna, Guido (von) List (1848-1919) had been active as journalist and writer. After he turned to esotericism, he became the first popular author to combine völkisch ideology and occultism into 287

the type of esoteric doctrine that is now collectively labelled Ariosophy. In September 1903 the occult periodical Die Gnosis included an article by List, in which he, referring Sebaldt von Werth, started to articulate “a Germanic occult religion.” The Society (the Guido Von List Society) was founded officially on 2 March 1908 (variously 1905 A.D.). Its members included völkisch authors as well as occultists (for example Franz Hartmann and the complete membership of the Vienna Theosophical Society). Some inner members of the (Guido von) List Society participated in the activities of the Hoher Armanen-Orden (High Armanen-Order).” - Religion Wiki: Esotericism in Germany and Austria (Franz Hartmann was a 19th century Bavarian physician who would later emigrate to the United States. A Spiritist and member of the Theosophical Society, Hartmann lived and worked for a time in India with H.P. Blavatsky. It was Hartmann who first translated Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine into German)

“The Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) originated in the irregular masonic (Scottish Rite and Memphis-Misraim Freemasonry) activities of Theodor Reuss, Franz Hartmann (Reuss was linked through Hartmann to H.P. Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society) and Karl Kellner between 1895 and 1906. Theodor Reuss had been in contact with William (Wynn) Wescott, a founding member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1928 the Fraternitas Saturni split off from the OTO. Ernst Wachler was a völkisch author (he supported the Guido von List Society) who had founded an open-air Germanic theatre in the Harz mountains. This theatre (which was no doubt used as a front), called Green Stage (Grüne Bühne), was closed in 1937 (its objectives realized).” - Religion Wiki: Esotericism in Germany and Austria (“In 1902 John Yarker, the Manchester-based head of various masonic and pseudo-masonic rites, chartered three German occultists, named [Theodor] Reuss, [Franz] Hartmann, and Klein, to establish a German Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mizraim” – Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism p.119 by Francis King, 1989 A.D) (“Several famous occultists were chartered by Reuss to operate OTO lodges, including Rudolph Steiner (1861 – 1925), founder of Anthroposophy, who was chartered for a German lodge in 1906…Dr. Gerard Encausse (1865 – 1916), better known as Papus, was chartered in France in 1908. The absorption of the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica formed another link between the Papus lineage and the modern OTO.” - Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons p.39 by John Carter, 1999 A.D.). Azazel and his band of angels is the Synarchist world government of ascended masters said to rule through secret societies of which Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre (related by marriage to the French Illuminus Freemason and novelist/playwrite Honoré de Balzac) writes in Mission de l'Inde en Europeä, the group whom Saint-Yves said communicated with him telepathically. Saint-Yves’s main disciple was the French Theosophical Society-member Papus [Gerald Encausse] who established a number of secret societies based on Synarchist ideologies. Saint-Yves is also connected to the French Illuminus statesman Victor Hugo.

Concerning the German occult revival of 1880-1910 A.D.: “The modern German occult revival owes its inception to the popularity of theosophy in the Anglo-Saxon world during the 1880s. The first German Theosophical Society was established in July 1884, under the presidency of Wilhelm Hübbe-Schleiden, a conservative German nationalist turned spiritual seeker who sought to establish Theosophy on a ‘scientific’ basis. Between 1886 and 1895 Hübbe-Schleiden published the monthly periodical Die Sphinx. In Vienna, a Theosophical Society was founded in 1887, its president was Friedrich Eckstein (“Friedrich Eckstein… [1861 - November 10, 1939] was an Austrian polymath, man of letters, Theosophist and a friend and temporary co-worker of Sigmund Freud. He taught S. Freud theYoga.” – Wikipedia. Freud’s student was Theosophical Society member, Spiritist and psychiatrist Carl Jung). Among his circle at this time Franz Hartmann (Hartmann wrote a number of books on the subject of magic), a leader of theosophical work who emphasized personal spiritual experience (Notable Hartmann Quote: “Magic is the knowledge of how to employ spiritual powers…” – Franz Hartmann), and the young Rudolph Steiner were members (recall it was this Vienna Theosophical Society which joined the Guido von List Society en-masse). A German Theosophical Society, as a branch of the International Theosophical Brotherhood, then was established in 1896 (by Reuss, Engel and Hartmann) when the American theosophists (read: Thesophical Society members) around William Quan Judge, Katherine Tingley, E. T. Hargrove and C. F. Wright travelled through Europe. Its president was Franz Hartmann, who also founded a theosophical lay-monastery at Ascona in 1889. His periodical Lotusblüten (Lotus Blossoms) (1892-1900) was the first German publication to use the theosophical swastika on its cover. Hartmann's example provided the impetus for Paul Zillmann to found the Metaphysische Rundschau (Metaphysical Review) in 1896…” - Religion Wiki: Esotericism in Germany and Austria (Notable Quote: “…the Germans have been generally in the foremost ranks of the gross absurdities of magic, exorcism, witchcraft, fortune-telling, transmutation of metals [alchemy], and [the Rosicurcian] universal medicine [panacea]…” – p.52 Proofs of a Conspiracy by John Robinson, 1798 A.D.)

“According to [August] Kubizek [one of Hitler's few friends from the early years], Hitler spent a great deal of time studying oriental mysticism, astrology, hypnotism, Germanic mythology and other aspects of occultism. By 1909 he had made contact with Dr. Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels, a former Cistercian monk who, two years previously, had opened a temple of the ‘Order of the New Templars’ (Ordo Novi Templi, an Ariosophic secret society) at the tumble-down Werfenstein Castle on the banks of the Danube. Von Leibenfels had assumed his aristocratic sounding name: he was born plain Adolf Lanz and came of solid bourgeois stock. His following was small but wealthy. A disciple of Guido von List [who adopted the swastika as the emblem of the neo-pagan movement in Germany in the late 19th century] he flew a swastika flag from his battlements, performed ritual magic and ran a 289

magazine entitled Ostara, a propaganda journal of occultism and race mysticism, to which the young Hitler became an avid subscriber.” - The Occult Connection (Frank Smyth)

“While a broad definition of the term ‘Ariosophy’ is useful for some purposes, various of the later authors, including Ellegaard Ellerbek, Philipp Stauff and Günther Kirchoff, can more exactly be described as cultivating the Armanism of (Guido von) List (Goodrick-Clarke 1985: 155). In a less broad approach one could also treat rune occultism (rune magic) separately. Although the Armanen runes go back to List, Rudolf John Gorsleben distinguished himself from other völkisch writers by making the esoteric importance of the runes central to his world view. Goodrick-Clarke therefore refers to the doctrine of Gorsleben and his followers as rune occultism, a description which also fits the eclectic work of Karl Spiesberger. Highly practical systems of rune occultism, influenced mainly by (Guido von) List, were developed by Friedrich Bernhard Marby and Siegfried Adolf Kummer (Goodrick-Clarke 1985: 160-62). Also worthy of mention are Peryt Shou, the occult novelist; A. Frank Glahn, noted more for his pendulum dowsing; Rudolf von Sebottendorff and Walter Nauhaus, who built up the Thule Society; and Karl Maria Wiligut (who hailed from a family with a long military tradition; Wiligut himself was a decorated soldier who fought in the first world war), who was the most notable occultist working for the SS.” - Wikipedia: Ariosophy (Ariosophic organisations include: the Guido von List Society, the High Armanen Order, the Ordo Novi Templi, the Germanenorden (in which a schism occurred) and the Thule Society)

“In 1918 (Rudolf von) Sebottendorff made contact with Walter Nauhaus, a member of the Germanenorden who headed a “Germanic study group” called the Thule Gesellschaft (Thule Society). The name of Nauhaus’ original Thule Society was adopted as a cover-name for Sebottendorff’s Munich lodge of the Germanenorden Walvater (Walvater was the god Woden, who represented Azazel) when it was formally dedicated on August 18, 1918.” - Wikipedia: Ariosophy “…on April 6, 1919, in Bavaria, left wing socialists and anarchists proclaimed the Bavarian Soviet Republic. The brains of the revolution were a group of writers who had little idea of administration. Life in Munich grew chaotic. The counter-revolutionary forces, the whites, composed of various groups of decommissioned soldiers known as 290

‘frei corps,’ equipped and financed by the mysterious Thule Society, defeated the Bavarian Soviet within a matter of weeks.” - The Unknown Hitler: Nazi Roots in the Occult.

“The Bavarian Soviet Republic, also known as the Munich Soviet Republic…was, as part of the German Revolution of 1918–1919, the short-lived attempt to establish a socialist state in the form of a democratic workers' council republic in the Free State of Bavaria. It sought independence from the also recently proclaimed Weimar Republic. Its capital was Munich.” – Wikipedia: Bavarian Soviet Republic (“The German Revolution (German: Novemberrevolution) was the politically-driven civil conflict in Germany at the end of World War I, which resulted in the replacement of Germany's imperial government with a republic. The revolutionary period lasted from November 1918 until the formal establishment of the Weimar Republic in August 1919.” – Wikipedia: German Revolution of 1918–1919). The German Revolution of 1918–1919 A.D. bears the Illuminati stamp.

“Hitler’s stellar performance in Munich [identifying pro-Communist soldiers to be shot in 1919] (who had ‘allegedly’ sided with the insurgents in the aforementioned German Revolution of 1918–1919) earned him a promotion. He was assigned to the highly secret Political Department of the Army District Command. Hitler's new unit was an intelligence operation that engaged in acts of domestic terrorism. The unit refused to accept Germany’s defeat in World War I and so it assassinated some of the German leaders who had negotiated Germany's surrender. A prominent leader of the District Command was Captain Ernst Rohm. Rohm was a professional soldier who served as liaison between the District Command and the German industrialists who were directly funding the District Command to help it fight communism. Captain Rohm and many other members of the District Command were members of a mystical organization known as the ‘Thule Society’ [Thulegesellschaft]. The Thule believed in the Aryan super race and it preached the coming of a German ‘Messiah’ who would lead Germany to glory and a new Aryan civilization. In Spear of Destiny [by Trevor Ravenscroft] we learn from Dr. Stein that the Thule group was financed by some of the very same industrialists who supported the District Command. The Thule was also directly supported by the German (Army) High Command.” - The Gods of Eden (William Bramley) (When Reichsfuehrer SS Heinrich Himmler ordered Dr. Stein’s arrest in Stuttgart in 1933 A.D. in order to press him into service with the SS Occult Bureau, he escaped from Germany to Britain)

“Many assassinations perpetrated by the District Command may have been inspired by the Thule. According to Dr. Stein, the Thule was a 291

‘Society of Assassins.’ It held secret courts and condemned people to death. It is likely that many victims murdered by the District Command had been condemned earlier in the secret courts of the Thule. Many prominent Germans supported this violence and were documented members of the Thule. For example, the Police President of Munich, Franz Gurtner, was a reported member of the innermost circle of the Thule. He later became Minister of Justice of the Third Reich.” - The Gods of Eden (William Bramley) “Long before he met (Adolf) Hitler, (Rudolph) Hess was a member of satanist Aleister Crowley’s Isis cult, known as the Ordo Templi Orientes (OTO), which crossed over into Crowley's satanic (Hermetic) Order of the Golden Dawn, popular among students at Cambridge and Oxford (University).” - The `No-Soul' Gang Behind Reverend Moon's Gnostic Sex Cult (Larry Hecht)

“(Heinrich) Himmler, as well as (Adolf) Hitler, became deeply interested in Tibetan Lamaism. He set up an occult training college at the Berlin section and ordered members of the SS leadership to attend courses there, especially in magic.” - Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult by Richard Spence (In Tibeten Buddhism [Lamaism], Lamas associate with shaman magicians who function as mediums. For more information see With Mystics and Magicians in Tibet by Alexandra David-Neel, 1931 A.D At Shigatze in Tibet is located a temple dedicated to the Buddhist Matreiya, who is Azazel)

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was popular among members of the British aristocracy. Among its affiliates were the Duke of Bedford, the Duke of Hamilton, and Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick.

By some accounts, Aleister Crowley was a British double-agent skilled in counter-espionage during World War I (and possibly an asset of US intelligence as well): “(Heinrich) Himmler set up the Nazi Occult Bureau. This incorporated into one organization of the Thule group, the Vril Society and the German branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) - Aleister Crowley’s magical order…we…believe that Crowley belonged to the British Secret Service**.” - Secret Agent 666:Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult by Richard Spence (**it is important to note in this regard that Crowley’s righthand man in Crowley’s Astrum Argentum [Order of the Silver Star] was Major-General John Frederick Charles Fuller, arguably the preeminent British military strategist of his time) (According to Gavin Badley in Lucifer Rising (p.38), the German vӧlkisch equivalent of the

292

Vatican was called the Black Order located in a castle at Wewelsburg in northern Germany where “Himmler and his twelve closest disciples would meet” which is the traditional number of witches in a witch’s coven: “The Black Order was not just a military organization but a sect, a fraternity of warrior priests.”)

One of the most important stories in our bid to discover secretive associations between otherwise seemingly disassociated groups is that of Oscar R. Schlag: “Another fascinating and secretive figure on the OTO landscape is Oscar R. Schlag (1907 – 1991), an associate of the pioneering psychologist, Dr. Carl Gustav Jung. While not a member himself, Schlag nonetheless moved within several upper echelon OTO circles, visiting Jane Wolfe in 1955 (Wolfe was an American Hollywood actress [with whom Kenneth Anger would make his acquaintance] and Spiritist medium who lived with and studied abroad under the tutelage of Aleister Crowley for two years at his Abbey of Thelema [established 1920 A.D.] in Cefalu, Sicily; she later played a founding role in the creation of the OTO’s Agape Lodge of which Jack Parsons was a member, serving as lodge master) at the California Lodge led by Jet Propulsion Laboratory rocket scientist Jack Parsons. Schlag was an intimate associate of top OTO men such as Karl Germer (a Nazi concentration camp survivor), and belonged to the ‘Abramelin group’ which also contained Pinkus (Dr. Felix Lazerus Pinkus [1881 – 1947 A.D.], was a Jewish Freemasonic B’nai B’rith activist and influential Zionist, serving as president of the Zurich Union of Zionists. Pinkus was the ‘spiritual father’ of Hermann [Hermann or Herrmann is a German given name meaning "army man" or "warrior"] Joseph Metzger [‘Joseph Metzger’ was a pseudonym used by Freemasonic British intelligence agent Gerald Yorke], the Swiss born outer head of the OTO and Patriarch of the Gnostic Catholic Church; the Crowley associate Gerald Yorke is a friend of Kenneth Anger). Marcelo Motta, leader of the OTO in Brazil, learned through his own contacts in Brazillian intelligence that Schlag was in the employ of the psychological warfare section of the Israeli Shin Bet intelligence service, as well as the CIA. Motta became alarmed when the OTO allegedly staged a ‘courtroom coup’ and ousted Motta from ‘legal standing’ in the OTO in the eyes of the United States (he was replaced by the CIA-‘blessed’ Grady McMurty, who also had a military Intelligence background). Motta was convinced the CIA was controlling the OTO behind the scenes through Schlag.” – Blood on the 293

Altar by Craig Heimbichner, 2005 A.D. (Germer was appointed by Crowley as the Outer Head of the OTO. At Germer’s death, as the official story goes, for want of an appointed successor, the OTO fractured [or rather, franchised] into many splinter groups/cells. Now such groups are Legion. In 1977 A.D., McMurty himself founded the ‘Caliphate’ OTO)

“US military-intelligence has demonstrated a deep and ongoing interest in the occult and cult organizations, including the OTO (Ordo Templi Orientis, Aleister Crowley’s magical order). For instance, Alex Constantine writes that a “number of intelligence agents with occult interests already had their hooks into the OTO. One of them was (Thelemite) Gerald Yorke (1901 – 1983 A.D.; Yorke, alias Joseph Metzger, was a purported member of British intelligence. The CIAs coup was successful with the ascension of fellow Thelemite Grady McMurty to OTO leadership, a prime example of an intelligence undercover organizational takeover, though this time they utilized the power of the American judicial system), a veteran British intelligence agent working...‘with American intelligence in an attempt to absorb the OTO into the ideological warfare network of the political right’ (by definition the conservative movement). And it may be worth noting that Retired Colonel (a high-ranking officer in US military intelligence) and Satanist, Michael Aquino (Aquino was a Church of Satan member from 1969 – 1975 A.D., including serving as personal secretary to Anton LaVey himself)…writes that his Temple of Set “recognizes and enjoys cordial relations with the US OTO.”” - The Occult History of the National Security State, February 4, 2005 A.D. by Jeff Wells/Raiders News (“The Temple of Set was established in 1975 by Lt. Colonel of the US Army Michael A. Aquino and certain members of the priesthood of the (Anton La Vey’s) Church of Satan (and included upwards of 100 Church of Satan members)…The Temple of Set was incorporated in California that same year as a nonprofit church.” – Wikipedia: Temple of Set. The Temple of Set founding membership ranks also included a dozen or so other members who like Aquino also hailed from Army Intelligence. According to Brian J. Walls of the 1990s California industrial metal band G.G.F.H. who was a part of that whole underground occult scene: “My personal theory is that [Michael] Aquino is doing research for the military, and the Temple of Set is an experiment. There was a government experiment where the military wanted to investigate paraphsychology and mind control. They tried it in clinical conditions and it was a total failure. By recruiting people who are interested in it, under nonclinical conditions as it were, they’re hoping to learn something. It’s not for me. They all take it awfully seriously – I find it both a little amusing and a little scary.” – p.185 Lucifer Rising

by Gavin Baddeley, 1999 A.D. Of an interesting note, Anton LaVey’s daughter Zeena later broke ties with her father and his Church of Satan joining the Temple of Set, deriding “the sickening repetitive flattery” Anton LaVey “extends to Zionism, Bolshevism and the state of Israel…” [Ibid p.159]). From yet another author with a military history, namely, John A. Keel in his 1956 A.D. cult-underground mystical-magico classic, Jadoo (‘Jadoo’ is Hindu for ‘black magic’), we learn of: “…the following statement from Newsweek magazine, dated October 15, 1956: ‘Fantastic as it sounds, a serious psychological-research project being conducted for the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a study of the possible use of extra-sensory

294

perception (ESP). Those in on it are looking into the possibilities of using ESP not only to read the minds of Soviet leaders but to influence their thinking by long-range thought control.’”

No doubt this project was a sub-project of MKULTRA: “While parapsychology has long been ridiculed by the scientific establishment, the CIA seriously entertained the notion that such phenomena might be highly significant for the spy trade…In 1952 the CIA initiated an extensive program involving "the search for and development of exceptionally gifted individuals who can approximate perfect success in ESP performance." The Office of Security, which ran the ARTICHOKE project, was urged to follow "all leads on individuals reported to have true clairvoyant powers" so as to be able to subject their claims to "rigorous scientific investigation." Along this line the CIA began infiltrating séances and occult gatherings. A memo dated April 9, 1953, refers to a domestic—and therefore illegal— operation that required the "planting of a very specialized observer" at a séance in order to obtain "a broad surveillance of all individuals attending the meetings."…during the late 1960s the CIA experimented with mediums in an effort to contact (and debrief?) dead agents. These attempts, according to Victor Marchetti, a former high-ranking CIA official, were part of a larger effort to harness psychic powers for various intelligence-related missions that included utilizing clairvoyants to divine the intentions of the Kremlin leadership. Secret ESP research is still being conducted, although CIA spokesmen refuse to comment on the nature of these experiments.” – Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, The Sixties, and Beyond p.23,24. One of the experts on ESP and occult knowledge with whom the CIA likely interacted was Anton LaVey himself. Indeed, as we learn from Black Sun, Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity by Goodrick-Clarke, 2002 A.D.: “(Anton) Lavey and (OTO member Kenneth) Anger became fast friends and shared an interest in the more nefarious side of life. The two men intensely studied such matters as werewolves, vampires, tarot, ESP and just about every other occult and mystical teaching under the sun. By 1961 they began to hold meetings at Lavey’s house where they charged for public lectures on occultism which attracted fairly large crowds as esoteric subjects began to become more and more popular.” It is also alleged Anton LaVey was a pimp in the pre-Church of Satan days, and may have been the source of a number of prostitutes employed by George Hunter White in San Francisco under MKULTRA. LaVey had known Mafia connections, as did George Hunter White, these likely being one and the same. White once famously declared: “I don’t dislike criminals. I have a lot of friends who are murderers. When I used to hang around with gangster types, I had very good times in their company.” – George Hunter White, 1971 A.D. No doubt he was speaking of his MKULTRA days and his work with the Mafia with whom he had partnered under MKULTRA/CIA auspices. MKULTRA subprojects included the unwitting administration of LSD to clients by Mafia-supplied prostitutes while Hunter himself surreptitiously looked on.

Another such occultly famous retired American army colonel was Colonel H.S. Olcott, the first President of the Theosophical Society in America. Likely this was originally also an early creation of the U.S. intelligence community (the Temple of Set it must be noted was purposefully established in 1975 A.D. on the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of the Theosophical Society in America, established in 1875 A.D.). (According to E. Adams in The Masters of Wisdom pp.22-23 (1890 A.D.): “Since the suppression of the archaic mysteries, the Mahatmas (fallen angels) make, at stated periods, active efforts on the physical plane to aid the upward progress of mankind through appointed agents. These epochs occur now in the last quarter of each century, and in accordance with the cyclic laws…the "Masters of Wisdom" act…they look to the future, to the period that must soon come, when the now flowing tide will ebb, and their efforts cease until

295

1975 is sounded from the watch towers of time and a new mystic era commences again.” The Temple of Set was established to coincide with the onset of this “new mystic era.”)

If you learn anything from this chapter let it be these three things: 1. “Theosophy was the name finally given to the whole vast renaissance in the world of magic that affected many thinkers so profoundly at the beginning of the (20th) century” 2. “All these movements: the modern Rosy-Cross (the Rosicrucians), (the Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, the German Vril Society (which will bring us to the Thule Group where we shall find Haushofer, Hess and Hitler) were more or less closely associated with the powerful and well organized Theosophical Society.” (Thule is a Greek name which translates as ‘isle of the four Masters,’ in reference to the place where Azazel, along with his three angelic companions, lie entrapped within the earth, being located as it is between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Arabs call it ‘The Island.’ It is also known as the ‘White Island.’)

3. “…with the coming of Nazism it was the “other world” (read: Azazel and his group of rebel angels) which ruled over us for a number of years…” (And still do!). It even rules over the intelligence agencies of a number of nations, secretly spreading its subversive tentacles around a clueless world.

British and American spies, English Rosicrucian Freemasonic Master Mason ceremonial magicians. Irish, French, English playwrights and poets, Theosophical Society members. Newsmen. Adolph Hitler and the Nazi leadership. What was the common thread amongst such a peculiar ad-hoc group? The rebellious fallen angels of course! These humans were in contact with these angels. (Author’s Note: This association with practitioners of magic and secret services/Intelligence agencies hearkens back most famously to the days of the illustrious British ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee (purportedly the original 007), in the service of her royal majesty Queen Elizabeth I. Interestingly enough, the Witchcraft Act of 1562 was passed early during her reign which effectually softened pre-existing anti-witchcraft laws in England) The Theosophical Society as has been noted represented some 296

rich and powerful interests. The following is exemplary: “In 1891, Henry Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company, and was promoted to Chief Engineer in 1893.”

- Wikipedia: Edison Illuminating Company “While at the Edison Illuminating Company he (Henry Ford) met Thomas A. Edison (1847–1931 A.D., the Wizard (by definition a male witch) of Menlo Park, who eventually became one of his closest friends.” - www.notablebiographies.com As also noted previously, Thomas Edison was a member of the Theosophical Society, and though professedly acceptable of every creed, many members were decidedly anti-Semetic in truth and deed (indeed, the rebel angels have long ruthlessly persecuted the descendents of Adam, the image of God, Jesus being the most prominent example). Undoubtably such views would be shared amongst such learned friends, for as people were fond to say, birds of a feather so often flock together. One may also presume an agreement of principles amongst such kindrid sprits as they. Of the very most of important notes, Henry Ford was a member of the Bohemian Club, the owners of the Bohemian Grove! Ford was also a Freemason. Indeed, as regards the charge of anti-Semitism: “In 1918, Ford’s closest aide and private secretary, Ernest G. Liebold, purchased an obscure weekly newspaper, The Dearborn Independent for Ford. The Independent ran for eight years, from 1920 until 1927, during which Liebold was editor. The newspaper published “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” (a text describing a Jewish design to attain global domination. Notable quote: “Municipalisation and Nationalisation which also are part of the Fabian scheme for world perfection. This ideal is to be achieved by the gradual expropriation and pauperisation of all classes by systematic, economic pressure, each class to be separately ruined according to the best means available for ruining it [under this plan the American middle-class is currently being systematically destroyed]. Municipalisation and Nationalisation means control by government, or, in other words, domination by ONE GREAT TRUST. Is this Socialism? There is nothing new or extraordinary in this plan for World control by a centralized, SuperCapitalist power. It is the plan so minutely explained in The Protocols 297

of the Wise Men of Zion. It is the plan of modern Judeo-Masonic Russian Soviet Communism. It is the plan of Weishaupt's Illuminati and that of International Freemasonry.” - Occult Theocrasy), which was discredited by The Times of London as a forgery during the Independent's publishing run. The American Jewish Historical Society described the ideas presented in the magazine as “anti-immigrant, antilabor, anti-liquor, and anti-Semitic.” In February 1921, the New York World published an interview with Ford, in which he said “The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on.” During this period, Ford emerged as “a respected spokesman for right-wing extremism and religious prejudice,” reaching around 700,000 readers through his newspaper (See Glock, Charles Y. and Quinley, Harold E. (1983). Anti-Semitism in America.

Transaction Publishers. p. 168)…During the Weimar Republic in the early 1920s, the Protocols was reprinted and published in Germany, along with anti-Jewish articles first published by The Dearborn Independent and reprinted in translation in Germany as a set of four bound volumes, cumulatively titled The International Jew, the World's Foremost Problem. Ford is the only American mentioned in Mein Kampf. Steven Watts wrote that Hitler ‘revered’ Ford, proclaiming that “I shall do my best to put his theories into practice in Germany, and modeling the Volkswagen, the people’s car, on the model T.” (See Watts, The People's Tycoon (2005) p. xi)…” – Wikipedia: Henry Ford (the Model T was so designated in honor of the angel Azazel, one of whose symbols was the tau cross, which was rendered in Greek as a T ( See Appendix A at the end of this book). Ford also produced a Model A. As must be remembered, the symbol for anarchy, an upper case ‘A’ within a circle represented Asmodeus/Azazel the Destroyer. I hardly believe that this was merely coincidence)

(Enter Mrs. Webster): “Nesta Helen Webster, (Mrs. Arthur Webster), (24 August 1876 – 16 May 1960) was a controversial historian, occultist, and author who revived conspiracy theories about the Illuminati. She argued that the secret society’s members were occultists, plotting communist world domination, using the idea of a Jewish cabal, the Masons and Jesuits as a smokescreen. According to her, their international subversion included the French Revolution, 1848 Revolution, the First World War, and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. In 1920, Webster was one of the contributing authors who wrote The Jewish Peril, a series of articles in the London Morning Post, centered on the Protocols of the 298

Elders of Zion. These articles were subsequently compiled and published in the same year, in book form under the title of The Cause of World Unrest. She was cited respectfully by Winston Churchill, “This movement among the Jews ... as Mrs. Webster has so ably shown, [played] a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution.” Webster claimed that the authenticity of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion was an open question. Her position on that, in 1924, “Contrary to the assertions of certain writers, I never affirmed my belief in the authenticity of the Protocols, but have always treated it as an entirely open question.” (See Secret Societies and Subversive Movements (1924), p. 408). In “World Revolution,” Webster compares the Protocols to writings attributed to the Illuminati, asserting that they hold most similarity to the activities of Illuminized Freemasonry. (See World Revolution' p. 306)... Following the First World War she gave a lecture on the Origin and Progress of World Revolution to the officers of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich. By special request she repeated the lecture to the officers and noncommissioned officers of the Brigade of Guards in Whitehall, and then she was asked to repeat it a third time to the officers of the Secret Service. It was at their special request that she wrote the World Revolution: The Plot Against Civilisation, based on these lectures. Her charisma helped her to captivate some of the leading literary, political and military minds of her day. Lord Kitchener in India described her as the “foremost opponent of subversion.” In 1919 Webster published The French Revolution: a Study in Democracy where she claimed that a secret conspiracy had prepared and carried out the French Revolution. Winston Churchill was convinced by this theory and in 1920 wrote: “This conspiracy against civilization dates from the days of Weishaupt ... as a modern historian Mrs. Webster has so ably shown, it played a recognizable role on the French Revolution.” In her autobiography, Spacious Days, she argued that there was an “attempt to boycott my books in those quarters where the plan of world revolution was secretly entertained.” Webster also published Secret Societies and Subversive Movements, The Need for Fascism in Great Britain, the Menace of Communism (with Mrs. Katherine Atkinson) and The Origin and Progress of the World Revolution. In the latter book, published in 1921, she wrote: “What mysteries of iniquity would be revealed if the Jew, like the mole, did not make a point of working in the dark! Jews have never been more Jews than when we tried to make them men and citizens.” In her books, Webster argued that 299

Bolshevism was part of a much older and more secret, selfperpetuating conspiracy. She described three possible sources for this conspiracy: Zionism, Pan-Germanism, or “the occult power.” She stated that she leaned towards Zionism as the most likely culprit of the three (this author would say it was “the occult power” of the fallen angels). She also claimed that even if the Protocols were fake, they still describe how Jews behave.” Webster became involved in several right-wing groups including the British Fascists, The Link, and the British Union of Fascists. She was also the leading writer of the antiSemitic “The Patriot,” where she supported the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany. She later published Germany and England in which she suggested that Adolf Hitler had successfully halted the Jewish attempt to control the world.” – Wikipedia: Nesta Helen Webster In years prior: “He

(Henry Ford) opened Ford assembly plants in Britain and Canada in 1911, and soon became the biggest automotive producer in those countries. In 1912, Ford cooperated with Agnelli of Fiat to launch the first Italian automotive assembly plants. The first plants in Germany were built in the 1920s with the encouragement of (U.S. President) Herbert Hoover and the Commerce Department (additionally, Ford also built the Soviet Union’s first automobile plant in Gorki during the 1930’s, all World War II Axis combatant countries)...On February 1, 1924 Ford received Kurt Ludecke, a representative of Hitler, at his home. Ludecke was introduced to Ford by Siegfried Wagner (son of the famous composer Richard Wagner) and his wife Winifred, both Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semites (“Years later, in 1977, Winifred claimed that Ford had told her that he had helped finance Hitler”) (See Max Wallace’s The American Axis: Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and the Rise of the Third Reich, (Macmillan, 2004), pp.50-54)...In July 1938, prior to the outbreak of war,

the German consul at Cleveland gave Ford, on his 75th birthday, the award of the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest medal Nazi Germany could bestow on a foreigner...” – Wikipedia: Henry Ford (In the December 20, 1922 A.D. edition of the New York Times it was reported that Henry Ford was financing Adolf Hitler)

“In the United States The Protocols (of the Elders of Zion) are to be understood in the context of the Red scare, the First Red Scare (1917–1920). The text circulated in 1919 in American government circles, specifically diplomatic and military, in typescript form, a copy of which is archived by the Hoover Institute.” - Wikipedia: 300

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (Norman Cohn in Warrant for Genocide impugns the Protocols of the Elders of Zion for being the motivating factor behind the massive deportation and systematic execution of Jews during World War II)

The Red Scare followed the Communist Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 A.D. in Russia at the height of World War I. The idea of Jewish Bolshevism was based on the belief that Jews were responsible for the modern Communist movement, most specifically of the Russian Bolsheviks (#2 Bolshevik Leon Trotsky was Jewish). Could Hitler’s rise to power have been a covert U.S.-British attempt at thwarting an alleged Zionist plot? You make the call. It seems to bear all the marks of an American modus operandi, however, a modern example being the CIA’s support of Saddam Hussein in his early revolutionary endeavors, over whose person they later lose control, prompting war.

Indeed, as we learn from the November 20, 2010 A.D. Haaretz article entitled CIA created ‘safe haven’ for Nazis following WWII, report finds: New York Times obtains complete version of U.S. Justice Department report detailing the CIA’s use of Nazi émigrés for postwar intelligence purposes: “American intelligence officials created a ‘safe haven’ in the United States for Nazis and their collaborators following World War II, the New York Times reported over the weekend, citing a 600-page U.S. Justice Department report that it obtained. According to the Times report, the Central Intelligence Agency used Nazi émigrés for post-war intelligence purposes.” As well as in the field of rocketry and other scientific disciplines.

‘Coincidentally’ enough, in 1919 as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion circulated within American diplomatic and military circles, the anti-Semitic Adolf Hitler makes a rather timely appearance (Hitler it is said, was a British spy [See Hitler Was a British Agent by Greg Hallet, 2005 A.D.]): “On 5 January 1919, the locksmith Anton Drexler, and five other men, founded the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP — German Workers' Party), the predecessor of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP — National Socialist German Workers’ Party). In July 1919, the Reichswehr intelligence department dispatched Corporal Adolf Hitler, as a Verbindungsmann (police spy) to infiltrate and subvert the DAP. His oratory so impressed the DAP members, they asked him join the party, and, in September 1919, 301

the police spy Hitler became the party's propagandist. On 24 February 1920, the DAP (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei;; German Worker’s Party) was renamed the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, against Hitler’s preferred “Social Revolutionary Party” name.

Later, in consolidating his control of the NSDAP, Hitler ousted Drexler from the party and assumed leadership on 29 July 1921.” – Wikipedia: Nazism (Concerning the history of the influx of Jews to Palestine: “There were several waves of ‘aliya’ (literal translation, “ascension”), first in the eighties [1880s] and nineties [1890s] of the last century [the 19th Century], of Jews fleeing persecution in Rumania and Russia. Baron Edmund de Rothschild helped settle a swarm of Jews, mainly from Rumania. These also started colonies and sang around new Hebrew camp fires. At the opening of the [20th] century came the first large flocks of the original ‘Zionists,’ most of them from Russia. They brought with them intellectual ferment. Many of them were Tolstoyan socialists, and all of them were full of dreams of a new Zion. Out of these bands of settlers came the future ruling clique of Israel. In the thirties [1930s] came a great surge of Jews out of Poland. These were chiefly workmen and their families, more tools in their kits than dreams; house builders and plow hands. They came to Zion as its people, and remained its people. The advent of Hitler in 1933 brought a massive wave of immigrants from Germany. Hitler’s oratory had uprooted them from their long-beloved German cities and villages. They brought with them the German talent for music, philosophy, and truth-telling, the German pedantry and respect for the law— all the things that the new Third Reich had decided to jettison. There were also among them people of financial talent. The next wave was the ‘illegal’ immigration, beginning in 1937.

Defying the [British] quota and later the White Paper,** in ships of every size, tens of thousands from Central Europe and the Balkans came flocking to Palestine. Most of them were young Jews. The last wave was the million from everywhere, including the [German] concentration camps [of WWII], who hied them to Israel when it became an independent state [in 1948 A.D.]. The dam was broken. Israelis poured in.” - Perfidy by Ben Hecht) (** “In 1939, Great Britain issued the famous White Paper on the Palestine situation. This royal document contained two major points. One, Jews were almost\completely barred from buying any more land in Palestine. Two, the White Paper proclaimed a last limited immigration for Palestine and then ordered its ports closed as soon as this last handful passed the Customs. The ‘Protectorate Policy’ then warned any Jews who might try to evade extermination at Nazi hands by sneaking into the Holy Land that they would be treated as enemies of the Crown.” – p-.13 Perfidy by Ben Hecht)

(Enter the Golden Dawn): “In 1888 (alternatively, 1887), the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was born, beginning a renaissance of interest in the occult that has continued to the present day. It is impossible to overstate the importance of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn to modern occultists; not only through its rituals, but also through its personalities and, of course, the Order’s making available a large body of occult lore that would otherwise have remained unknown or hidden in obscurity…We cannot look at the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn in isolation from its own origins. It is descended from a myriad of esoteric traditions including Rosicrucianism, Theosophy and Freemasonry – the latter in its own right, 302

as well as via the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA), a scholarly and ceremonial (magic) association open to Master Masons only…Whether the German Lodge or its obliging representative Frau Sprengel actually existed is a matter still under debate but, either in fact or in spirit, these were the source for the Cipher Manuscripts which were used to found the Isis-Urania Lodge (of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) in 1888.

Isis-Urania was founded by Dr. William Wynn Westcott, Dr. William Woodman, and Samuel Liddell (“MacGregor”) Mathers. Not only were all three Master Masons, Westcott and Mathers were also members of the Theosophical Society. Most importantly though, the three were a ruling triumvirate that managed the affairs of the SRIA. This is significant, for the SRIA numbered among its members Hargrave Jennings, who is reputed to have been involved with a Pagan group at the end of the 19th century which drew its inspiration from Apuleius’ The Golden Ass. But back to the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn.

Whether the Cipher Manuscripts actually existed (the Cipher Manuscripts were “a collection of 60 folios containing the structural outline of a series of magical initiation rituals…used as the structure for the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn…The Cipher Manuscripts are the original source upon which the rituals and the knowledge lectures of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn were based. The basic structure of the rituals and the names of the Grades are similar to those of the Rosicrucian orders Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) and the German 'Orden der Gold- und Rosenkreuzer'.” - Wikipdeia), or Westcott manufactured them is now largely irrelevant (they are similar to that of high-degree Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism). Mathers was commissioned to edit the rituals into a workable shape, and thus the Golden Dawn was born. Members of the Isis-Urania Lodge at various times also included Allan Bennett (“Charles Henry Allan Bennett (1872 – 1923) was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He was a friend, mentor and associate of author and occultist Aleister Crowley. Bennett received the name Bhikkhu Ananda Metteyya at his ordination as a Buddhist monk and spent years studying and practicing Buddhism in the East. He was the second Englishman to be ordained as a Buddhist monk (Bhikkhu) of the Theravada tradition and was instrumental in introducing Buddhism in England. He established the first Buddhist Mission in the United Kingdom.” – Wikipedia), Moina Mathers (“…sister of French philosopher Henri Bergson, the first man of Jewish descent to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927. She is, however, more known for her marriage to the English occultist, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, one of the founders of the organization Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and, after his death in 1918, for being the head of a successor organization, called the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega.” - Wikipedia), Aleister Crowley, Florence Farr (“Florence Beatrice Emery (née) Farr (7 July 1860—29 April 1917) was a British West End leading actress, composer and director. She was also a women's rights activist, journalist, educator, singer, novelist, leader of a secret occult order (the London Lodge of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), and one time mistress of playwright George Bernard Shaw. She was a friend (a mistress) and collaborator with Nobel laureate William 303

She established the Abbey Theatre [with W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory] in Dublin and founded the first regional repertory theatre company in Britain at the Gaiety Theatre in Manchester.

She encouraged the work of new writers and playwrights, including W. B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw and members of what became known as the Manchester School of dramatists.” – Wikipedia), Arthur Machen (at the age of 39 Machen became a traveling actor, touring England with Sir Frank Benson’s Shakespearean company before joining the St. James Theatre), (Scottish writer and poet) William Sharp (aka novelist “Fiona Macleod”), Arthur (Edward) Waite (A.E. Waite) and (Irish poet) WB Yeats. Also associated were Lady Gregory (“Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory (15 March 1852 – 22 May 1932), born Isabella Augusta Persse, was an Irish dramatist and folklorist. With William Butler Yeats and (Irish political and cultural activist and playwright) Edward Martyn (January 30, 1859 – December 5, 1923), she co-founded the Irish Literary Theatre and the Abbey Theatre (26 Lower Abbey Street, Dublin, Ireland), and wrote numerous short works for both companies. Lady Gregory produced a number of books of retellings of stories taken from Irish mythology.” – Wikipedia), and GW Russell or “AE” (George William Russell, April 10, 1867 – July 17, 1935 A.D., a member of the Dublin lodge of theTheosophical Society and frequent visitor to its London lodge, proponent of Celtic paganism and lifelong friend of W.B. Yeats. Also a member of the Point Loma Universal Brotherhood) whose The Candle of Vision was included in the bibliography of The Meaning of Witchcraft. The literary and Celtic influences within the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn were immense. From the Isis-Urania Lodge sprang all the others, including the so-called Dissident Orders derived through (Aleister) Crowley.

It is this line that some commentators trace to modern Wicca (Wicca pays homage to the Horned God, who is Azazel, as well as to his human wife), so it is upon the one that we will now concentrate. Aleister Crowley was initiated into the Isis-Urania Lodge on November 18, 1898. He later quarrelled with Mathers, and in 1903 created his own Order, the Argenteum Astrum (Silver Star). In 1912, Crowley was initiated into the OTO, and in 1921, succeeded Theodor Reuss as its Chief…” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day (Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition)

The post-World War I period saw an uptick in Theosophical Society membership: “World War I…sparked a surge of interest in various spiritual and idealist societies, as well as in the possibility of contact with its millions of dead (the Spiritualist Movement was at this time in 304

its heyday). Steiner’s Anthroposophy, Gurdjieff’s and Ouspenski’s groups, even a fledgling Hitler Youth profited by the search for new values in a shattered Europe. If in the mystic sixties (1960s) and New Age nineties (1990s) gurus proliferated, the 1920s had an equal, if not greater, number.” – p.83 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman (“Before landing in California, (Aldous) Huxley had aquainted himself with developments on the esoteric scene at home. Along with T.S. Elliot, A.R. Orage and other inhabitants of the London intellectual circuit, Huxley attended P.D. Ouspensky’s celebrated lectures at St. John’s Wood, financed by the fabulous Lady Rothemere, wife of the newspaper baron.” – p.88 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman. Ouspensky himself was one of Gurdjieff’s disciples)

Indian guru J. Krishnamurti saw his popularity surge particulary in Depression Era America: “…in the 1930s quite a few celestial bodies of the Hollywood type (including stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo) found themselves orbiting stargazers and mystics (included amongst whose ranks was the philosopher Aldous Huxley, the eminent Humanist Thomas Mann and the militant Bavarian Marxist Bertold Brecht), and serious seekers of spiritual insight drank from the same well as bored celebrities, looking for a new thrill. One such focus was the holy man, ex-theosophist (he officially renounced his exalted role in theosophy in 1929 A.D.), sixties (1960s) campus guru and one-time avatar of the Lord Matraya (aka Azazel), Jiddhu Krishnamurti (1897-1986).” – p.81 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman (Ensconced in Ojai, California from 1931 A.D. until the early 1960s, Ojai became somewhat of a Western Mecca, a meeting place for Illuminated minds. Even Bertrand Russell himself made an appearance there. Aldous Huxley’s signature novel Brave New World [which was a later mainstay on ’60s college campuses] was published at this time in 1932 A.D., and Huxley’s After Many a Summer published in 1939 A.D. was written in its entirety during a stay at Krishnamurti’s house in Ojai)

Prior to the advent of television, computers and computer gaming, theatrical/operatic companies and productions as well as lectures, reading, literary clubs/circles and study groups were all the rage in Europe and America. Often these groups were organized as fronts for other organizations, including those of an Intelligence nature, with many groups containing smaller secret inner circles (recall the Illuminati’s preferred tool of subversion was the creation of such reading societies and book clubs). Many of these groups during the inter-war period between World Wars I and II were known to be infiltrated by various countries military spies as well as their civilian collaborators (many of these literary groups were magic-based. Such occult magic groups have long been known as espionage fronts. In 305

fact, Britain had a department known as the Occult Bureau within its MI5 intelligence agency, as did Hitler’s feared SS secret police agency, known as the Ahnenerbe. The Ahnerbe by one account incorporated into one organization the Thule group, the Vril Society and the German branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis, Aleister Crowley's own magical order). Such groups often provide the nucleus for subversive groups as well as political parties and social movements, etc. Such a theatrical group, housed at the California Theatre in San Francisco, California, gave rise to the the Bohemian Club, owners of the Bohemian Grove, where an annual meeting of the world’s most powerful men is held, where is included amongst the activities ceremonial magic rituals which invoke the angel Azazel.

Significantly enough, the story of magic and the rebellious fallen angels was a favorite theme of the aforementioned period, being widely ingrained within the popular culture: “Druids (who were practitioners of magic) began to figure widely in popular culture with the first advent of Romanticism (Notable quote: “Romanticism…was the artistic expression of the mysticism of (Louis) Claude de SaintMartin (Martinism was in effect a French brand of Freemasonry. It originated in a French Freemasonic lodge)…The romantics were driven by the spirit of magic.” - The Occult by Colin Wilson, 1971 A.D.).

Chateaubriand’s novel Les Martyrs (1809) narrated the doomed love of a druid priestess and a Roman soldier;; though Chateaubriand’s theme was the triumph of Christianity over Pagan druids, the setting was to continue to bear fruit. Opera provides a barometer of wellinformed popular European culture in the early 19th century: in 1817 Giovanni Pacini brought druids to the stage in Trieste with an opera to a libretto by Felice Romani about a druid priestess, La Sacerdotessa d'Irminsul ("The Priestess of Irminsul"). The most famous druidic opera, Vincenzo Bellini's Norma was a fiasco at La Scala, when it premiered the day after Christmas, 1831; but in 1833 it was a hit in London. For its libretto, Felice Romani reused some of the pseudodruidical background of La Sacerdotessa to provide colour to a standard theatrical conflict of love and duty. The story was similar to that of Medea, as it had recently been recast for a popular Parisian play

by Alexandre Soumet: the diva of Norma's hit aria, “Casta Diva,” is the moon goddess (who represents the human wife of the angel Azazel), being worshipped in the “grove of the Irmin statue.”” – Wikipedia: Druid (it is important to note a number of OTO members such as Leopold Engel and Theodor Reuss were themselves Romantic era opera singers. Operatic and theatrical

306

groups have been known to serve as income producing fronts for magic practicing inner circles. This tradition is also inherent in the entertainment industry in Hollywood as well as in the corporate music industry (stage magicians are also known to have been spies).

Intelligence practices it must me stressed are not a government monopoly, particularly in today’s corporate world). This theme concerning mythologies and magic

and the fallen angels in popular culture is also apparent in the works of German composer Richard Wagner (May 22, 1813 – February 13, 1883 A.D. Interestingly enough, his son worked with Henry Ford to aid Adolf Hitler) and in the works of other composers of his period.

And the works of the English bard Shakespeare, abounding with tales of magic, gods and goddesses, were famous on the European theatrical stage small and large. Wagner’s compositions are replete with tales of magic and of the fallen angels and the gods who represented them.

The fairy tales of Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen (April 2, 1805 – August 4, 1875 A.D.), the subject of which was likewise magic and the rebellious fallen angels and their offspring, also circulated at this time. These are but a few of many examples.

By their very nature, poets and authors (using Shakespeare as a prime example) are major players in the world of the occult. Culturally speaking, Europe was (and is still, as evidenced by the popularity of Harry Potter which instills an early interest of magic in children) immersed in traditions of magic and ‘myth.’ Many of the major players in this realm are associated with otherwise seemingly innocuous theatrical groups. As a major example, Gerald B. Gardner, creator of the system of magic known as Wicca, was associated with the Rosicrucian Theatre at Christchurch in England: “Gerald Gardner (who worked for the British government in the Civil Service as a Customs officer in the Far East, later serving as an archaeologist/anthropologist) became a Co Mason when (upon his retirement from the Civil Service) he returned to England in 1936. He joined Crotona (formally the "Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians"), a Co Masonic group (it was a Freemasonic Order established by Mrs. Besant Scott, daughter of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant!) that had formed “The First Rosicrucian Theater in England” (which presented plays with occult themes). It was within The First Rosicrucian Theater that Gerald found the coven (of witches) that initiated him” (See Gerald Gardner, Witch Chapter 13). – webspace.webring.com. (Concerning the establishment of the First Rosicrucian Theater in England: “When the famous Annie Besant died, there was a split on the issue of the future leadership of the Theosophists. Some members wanted her daughter - Mrs. Besant Scott others Bishop (C. W.) Leadbeater. The latter won. The unsuccessful candidate (Mrs. Besant Scott) then took up co-masonry (female freemasonry) which Annie (Besant) had started in

307

England (“In 1902 she (Annie Besant) established the International Order of Co-Freemasonry in England and over the next few years established lodges in many parts of the British Empire.” – Wikipedia: Annie Besant). The centre of this was Southampton (England). Things seemingly did not prosper, and the lady (Mrs. Besant Scott) went into partnership with a gentleman known as Aurelius, and they started the "Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians." Gerald Gardner, Witch, by Idries Shah, 1960 A.D.) (Crotona was the name of the Dorian colony where Pythagoras founded his Italian magic school. According to U.F.O. contactee George Hunt Williamson in his heavily Theosophical Society-influenced Secret Places of the Lion [1958 A.D.]: “Many strange legends have been preserved concerning the birth of Pythagoras…Ancients claimed he was no mortal man, but one of the gods who had taken a human body [read: an angel incarnate]…”)

This mystical theatrical tradition in Europe eventually wound its way into the culture of Hollywood, California. In fact, related to the Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians was a town in California named Krotona: “Krotona was one of three important Theosophical ‘colonies’ in the U.S. during the early part of the 20th century. Originally built in Hollywood during 1912, the colony was eventually relocated to Ojai, California in 1926, where it operates today as the Krotona Institute of Theosophy.” – Wikipedia: Krotona. Most notably, in this theatrical tradition was Republican President Ronald Reagan, a former player on the Hollywood scene in the land where Kabbalists are truly kings. In fact, Reagan was initiated as an Honorary Scottish Rite Mason. As must also be noted, in the finest Babylonian mystic tradition, according to a May 16, 1988 A.D. Time Magazine© article: “the most closely guarded domestic secret of the Reagan White House” was “First Lady Nancy Reagan's reliance on a San Francisco astrologer (named Joan Quigley) to determine the timing of the President's every public move.” God abhors such magic practices (See Deuteronomy 18:10-12), astrology included. Ronald Reagan is also known to have attended Bohemian Grove ceremonies where ceremonial magicians invoke the angel Azazel often in a theatrical setting. As must be additionally noted, Vice-President during the Reagan years was former President George H.W. Bush (father of former President George W. Bush), who was also a Bohemian Grove attendee. George H.W. Bush was former Director of Central Intelligence for the CIA (1976-1977 A.D.). He was also a 33° Freemason, with high-degree Freemasonry exhibiting a long tradition of invoking and establishing contact with rebellious fallen angels through millennials old magic rituals and invocations, as do intelligence agencies and agents (Yes, Azazel’s group of fallen angels control this country!). This association of practitioners of magic with secret services/intelligence agencies 308

cooperating with and being guided by the rebellious fallen angels hearkens back most famously to the days of the famous British magician Dr. John Dee (purportedly the original 007), in the service of her majesty Queen Elizabeth I. America’s Intelligence Agencies are modeled on and were established in co-operation with British Military Intelligence agencies. High-ranking American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Oxford University attendees include Stansfield Turner, Director of Central Intelligence 1977–81 A.D. and R. James Woolsey, director of Central Intelligence 1993–95 A.D. (“In Great Britain also, fantastic rumors are spreading. British scientists, some people claim, have been contacted by a mysterious source through radio and have become involved in undercover activities at the request of extraterrestrials. Some of these scientists have disappeared. Through such contacts, so the story goes, the extraterrestrials hope to control our history. For what purpose? I myself have received letters from individuals claiming to be members of secret organizations whose headquarters are, quite literally, “out of this world.” These correspondents informed me that the purpose of these groups is to prevent mankind from reaching other worlds in space. Of course, other ‘contactees’ make exactly opposite claims. The fact remains, however, that belief in nonhuman control of terrestrial destinies is as old as politics…To pursue this line further would involve reopening the entire problem of witchcraft, which is obviously beyond the purpose of this book. It is important, however, to note the continuum of beliefs, for the continuum leads directly from primitive magic, through mystical experience, the fairy-faith, and religion, to modern flying saucers. The study of witchcraft has shown these subjects to be closely interrelated…” - Passport to Magonia: From Folklore to Flying Saucers, authored by former NASA scientist Jacques Vallee, 1969 A.D.; re-released as Passport to Magonia: On UFOs, Folklore and Parallel Worlds in 1993 A.D. Vallee now resides in San Francisco, California). Angels, it must be

noted, fallen or otherwise, having come to our Earth from the New Earth are by definition aliens. In fact, the word alien is a cognate of the word angel (Author’s Note: One of the most influential books of the 1960’s appeared at the beginning of the decade, becoming a best seller in America, Britain, and Europe, this book being, namely, The Morning of the Magicians by the French alchemists Pauwels (Pauwels was an associate of ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff as well as of mystic philosopher Aldous Huxley) and Bergier (a Jewish Kabbalist, physicist, alchemist and by his own admission an Allied French Intelligence agent during World War II), thus sparking a newfound interest in all things magic and occult, its release having a major influence on the shapers of popular culture on both sides of the Atlantic.

Following the book’s release, Zen and tantric yoga make an appearance on the American cultural scene. The 1960’s and early 1970’s most famously saw an occult revival in the counterculture in San Francisco, California, most notably at HaightAshbury. Instrumental to the San Francisco counter-culture scene was astrologer Dane Rudhyar, a friend of influential Theosophical Society member and author Alice A. Bailey who receives credit for coining the term ‘New Age.’ As we learn from Wikipedia: “Rudhyar's astrological works were influential in the New Age movement of the 1960s and 1970s, especially among the hippies of San Francisco, 309

where he lived and gave frequent lectures. Rudhyar regarded the 'true early hippies' as potential harbingers of a New Age. In 1967 the scene reached its peak in the…Summer of Love in San Francisco.” At this time ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley’s face (as well as Carl Jung, Aldous Huxley and no less than three Hindu gurus including Paramahansa Yogananda, founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship in Hollywood!) appears on the cover of The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (issued in 1967 A.D.). The Beatles traveled to India to meet the Hindu spiritual teacher Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, leader of the TM (Transcendental Meditation) Movement. The Rolling Stones at this time introduced Sympathy for the Devil, a decidedly Sufi/Theosophical Society-style treatment of our age old adversary. Heavy Metal as a music genre also enters the music mainstream celebrating all things devil-ish. Occult-based New Age authors also become overnight best sellers.** At this time of occult resurgence familiar old names are reintroduced, amongst whom was Theosophical Society founder H.P. Blavatsky, Rudolph Steiner, H.P. Lovecraft and Russian ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff.

Blavatsky herself was a major 1960’s counterculture icon. In a most revealing way, a 1970 A.D. article by sci-fi author Kurt Vonnegut in McCall’s Magazine© hails Madame Blavatsky as the ‘Founding Mother of the Occult in America.’ The list of occult associations in American popular culture goes on and on and on including the pop-phenomenon J.R.R. Tolkien-inspired Dungeon’s and Dragons© fantasy roleplaying game replete with mystical worlds of magic, demons and occult themes. As OTO-member Gary Lachmann explains in Turn Off Your Mind (2001 A.D.): “…in 1960s France a literary time bomb exploded. It was called Morning of the Magicians by two French alchemists, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier. The publishers Gallimard had expected a modest success but by the end of the decade the mayflower English language paperback alone had sold 1 million copies…within weeks of its publication, The Morning of the Magicians had both banks of the Seine (in France) talking about alchemy, extraterrestrials, lost civilizations, esotericism, Charles Fort, secret societies, higher states (altered-states) of consciousness and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn…It was a magical revolution—a revival of the occult (“Few books that followed in the sixties occult revival weren’t indebted to it in some way”). Previously rejected and ridiculed beliefs took centre stage, reaching the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, saturating the hippies and flower power, hitting the big screen with Rosemarie’s Baby [a film that featured (the Church of Satan founder) Anton Le Vey in cameo role as Satan] (“LaVey has said Rosemary’s Baby ‘did for the Church of Satan what The Birth of a Nation did for the Ku Klux Klan, complete with recruiting posters in the lobby’ [of the theatres in which it was shown].” – The Church of Satan: A Brief History, Barton 2003) and the bookshelves with Lord of the Rings. The Tarot, I Ching (aka The Book of Changes), astrology, Kabbala, yogis, witchcraft, UFOs, Aleister Crowley, yin-yang and The Tibetan Book of the Dead became the common currency they are today.” - Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachmann, 2001 A.D. (Interestingly enough, the Oriental-philosophy influenced ‘psychiatrist cum mystic’ Carl Jung wrote the Forward to the Englishversion of the I Ching [which is itself a diviner’s tool] and professed that The Tibetan Book of the Dead was his “constant companion.”). Rosemarie’s Baby, based on a novel by sci-fi writer Ira Levin, and starring Mia Farrow, was a 1968 A.D. offering by the Jewish Hollywood director Roman Polanski (Polanski also wrote and directed a film entitled When Angels Fall [1959 A.D.]). The following year 310

Polanski's pregnant wife, a real life witch named Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Church of Scientology/OTO-associated mass-murderer Charles Manson and the infamous Manson Family. Curiously enough, Anton LaVey (who incidently lived in San Francisco, CA establishing his Church of Satan there in 1967 A.D. He also served for a time on the San Francisco police department) also played a character known as His Satanic Majesty (a common Freemasonic moniker for the devil) in the Aleister Crowley-infatuated underground-filmmaker Kenneth Anger’s horrific 11 minute film entitled Invocation of My Demon Brother (1969 A.D.) featuring music specially composed by Rolling Stones band member Mick Jagger (the Rolling Stones interestingly enough issued an album entitled Their Satanic Majesties Request in 1967 A.D.). Kenneth Anger, a member of Anton LaVey’s original ‘Magic Circle,’ had also begun production of another film called Lucifer Rising in 1966 A.D. (of which Osiris Risen would have been a much more allegorically apt title, complete with magic circle and the appearance of a disk/UFO/demon’s cherub at the end of invocation. Many of Anger’s films are basically real-time documentaries of the magic rituals he as an OTO member has performed) with music composed by a young musician named Bobby Beausoleil who resided with Kenneth Anger for a time in his home in San Francisco (See p.49 The Family), Beausoleil being more famously known for the murder of Gary Hinman under the orders of Charles Manson in 1970 A.D. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page makes a brief appearance in this film (Page owned Aleister Crowley’s home [Boleskine House on the shores of Loch Ness, in Scotland] in Great Britain and also owned the world’s largest collection of all things Crowley-ana). Kenneth Anger met The Rolling Stones band members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (attendees of Roman Polanski's and Sharon Tate's wedding) and their girlfriends Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg in London in 1967 A.D. (as Tony Sanchez, a close friend of the Rolling Stones’ band members, so elucidates in Up And Down With The Rolling Stones’, Pallenberg was “obsessed with black magic.”). Anger relates that Stones band members Keith Richards and Brian Jones were also witches along with Keith Richard’s girlfriend Anita Pallenberg. Mick Jagger was also heavily into the occult, even sporting a tattoo of Satan on his chest. Mick Jagger was also, significantly enough, a friend of LSD enthusiast Allen Ginsberg, as well as being a product of the London School of Economics.

The way in which the Shamanistic use of LSD opens one’s mind to demonic influence to metaphysical phenomenon such as automatic writing is highlighted by the following selection: “Brian (Jones) and Anita (Pallenberg)…took up astrology and magic. Eventually they were given some acid (LSD) by one of their sycophants…That moment marked the peak…On LSD, the door to the vault of his mind swung open (note The Doors of Perception imagery), he told me, and he was able to write songs and play guitar the way he had always dreamed…’It’s as though there are all sorts of amazing songs floating around in my head that I can’t get out,’ Brian told me once. ‘Acid lets it all out. I hardly even know I’m writing when I’m on a trip, yet the next day I find I’ve written pages of the most amazing numbers.’” – pp. 26-27 Up and Down with the Rolling Stones. Jones had channeled his magical Muse. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, both fellow practitioners of magic, had a similar experience with LSD: “Keith dropped acid with Mick, and the trip marked an alliance between them…Keith and Mick were writing with a brilliance and conifidence they had never felt before” (Ibid p.29). It is at this point that their 311

music takes on a sinister connotation.

Charles Manson (whose nickname was ‘The Wizard,’ he being heavily into black magic and witchcraft) was himself a friend of Dennis Wilson, founding member and drummer of The Beach Boys, with Wilson at one point even hosting the murderous Manson Family in his home (Tex Watson, Charles Manson’s ‘right hand man,’ in his biography, Will You Die for Me? explains the scene at the house of Dennis Wilson: “People came and went, a peculiar mix of young dropouts like me, drug dealers, and people in the entertainment business. It was a strange time in Hollywood. It had become chic to play the hippie game, and the children of the big stars partied with gurus like Dean (Moorehouse) and Charlie (Manson) and listened to them and bought drugs (such as LSD) from them and took hippie kids to bed and let them drive their expensive cars and crash in their Bel Air mansions (to this list of movie star’s children can be added the daughter of Rat Pack member Dean Martin [who himself was a resident of Laurel Canyon during the 1950s]. As we learn from Ed Sanders in The Process: “Manson…once gave Dean Martin's daughter a ring at Dennis Wilson's beachhouse.”). Everyone felt aware and free…life was one big party. Rock musicians and hopeful singers like Charlie (Manson), actors and hopeful actors, girls who didn’t do anything, producers like Terry Melcher (Doris Day’s son), talent people, managers like Gregg Jakobson (a friend of Charles Manson), and stars’ children would all come over to the house and it would be a drug circus. Charlie (Manson) always managed to show up for the parties.” - Will You Die for Me?)

Interestingly enough we learn: “It was while at high school that he (Kenneth Anger) began to get interested in the occult, which he had first indirectly encountered through reading Frank L. Baum's Oz books as a child, with their accompanying Rosicrucian philosophies. Kenneth was very interested in the works of the French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi, as well as Sir James Frazer's The Golden Bough, although his favorite was the writings of the English occultist Aleister Crowley. Crowley had founded a religion known as Thelema based upon a religious experience that he had in Egypt in 1904, in which he claimed a being known as Aiwass (whom Crowley identified as his “Guardian Angel”) had contacted him and recited to him (channeled) The Book of the Law. Kenneth subsequently became a great fan of Crowley's work and converted to Thelema.” – Wikipedia: Kenneth Anger; the Sir J. Paul Getty, it is interesting to note, was Kenneth Anger’s ‘patron.’ Anger was also involved with Dr. Alfred Kinsey of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction [also known as the Kinsey Institute], with whom he maintained a friendship and shared interest in Aleister Crowley.

According to Wikipedia: “Kinsey’s reports, which led to a storm of controversy, are regarded by many as an enabler of the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.”).

Jack Parsons’ widow, Marjorie Cameron Parsons starred in Kenneth Anger’s movie entitled Inaugeration of the Pleasure Dome (1954 A.D.) (basically a magic ceremony on film;; Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle of film shorts are filmed magic spells). She had played a major role in the Parsons/Hubbard 1946 A.D. Babalon Working sex-magic ritual. She became a friend of Anton LaVey after being introduced to him by Kenneth Anger (LaVey at one time had even personally ordered a number of Aleister Crowley’s books from Jack Parsons). In An Interview With Kenneth Anger by Kate Haug, Anger tersely states: “I had been exposed to his (Aleister Crowley’s) books from an early age; from adolescence I 312

knew Jack Parsons, who was a scientist that worked for Jet Propulsion Labs [Parsons through his magickal workings was in communication with an extra-terrestrial “Intelligence” which he claimed communicated with him directly, even directly providing him with workable “instructions” for which to follow. See The Magickal Revival p.167]. He had a collection of the books and was a serious student of Crowley’s. After he was killed in an explosion, I knew his widow, Marjorie Cameron (Parsons), who’s in my film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome. She remained a friend all her life. So I studied his books and found a great affinity to his philosophy, which, simplified, can be called pagan revival.” Another famous writer connected to the British Museum of note was a man named Charles Fort, born in Albany, N.Y. in 1874 A.D.: “(Charles) Fort and (and his wife) Anna lived in London from 1924 to 1926, having moved there so Charles could peruse the files of the British Museum (upon which he based his writings).” – Wikipedia: Charles Fort. His writings gave rise to the term ‘Fortean.’ Fort founded the Fortean Society in New York circa. 1931 A.D., which later grew to include a San Francisco chapter, several members of which would later become part of Anton LaVey’s Magic Circle (See The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey). It is a small world after all.

The Charles Fort-inspired U.S. Army vet/influential UFOlogist/International Fortean Society member (“father of the New York Fortean Society”)/journalist/magician (he penned a book in 1957 A.D. entitled Jadoo, a Hindu word meaning ‘black magic,’ highlighting his trip to India, the Orient and the Middle East including his encounters with (amongst others) Yezidi devil worshippers and Hindu witches/gurus/practitioners of magic (it was, it must be noted, the job of a number of agents involved in MKULTRA to travel overseas: “charged with the responsibility of trying to develop…information…on various cultures… anthropological type data”; and magical/shamanistic arts was their subject of study) and writer of screenplays for such hit (occult message) T.V. shows as Get Smart, The Monkeys (which parodied the Beatnik and Hippie life and for which show, it should noted, Charles Manson himself auditioned) and the sci-fi classic Lost in Space, John A. Keel (aka the ‘King of Greenwich Village’) chimes in on this phenomenom circa. 1971 A.D. when he writes of: “…the amazing revolution of the mind which has taken place—almost unnoticed—in the past decade. The secret cults of the past have been replaced by the eerie mysticism of the LSD cults and the Hippie movement. Young people everywhere are turning to witchcraft and Black Magic and engaging in a sophisticated form of occultism which attempts to link their minds with the Cosmic Conciousness (the divine unified consciousness)…Young people experimenting with LSD and other hallucinogens sometimes have experiences they believe are contacts with the Cosmic Consciousness (explains Theosophical Society member and Rosicrucian Fellowsip Society (in Oceanside, CA) founder Max Heindel in The Rosicrucian CosmoConnection (1909 A.D.), there exists: “one common consciousness among all human beings; one group-spirit for all mankind.” This idea is also manifested in the concept known as group-mind. According to the wisdom of the East as taught by the Theosophical Society itself: “All (which in the East is known as Brahman, a cognate of ‘Ahriman,’ who is Azazel) is God-consciousness…He (Brahman) is all and the Universe is in Him. Its manifestation is only a manifestation of Himself…It is not He and a universe, but He as a universe.”- The Wisdom of the Upanishats Lecture I, by 313

Annie Besant, 1907 A.D.). Hence, when one taps into the Cosmic Consciousness, one is said to be tapping into the mind of God Itself. This process is Gnostic-ally known as seeking the Godhead. Indeed: “…the basic fact in cosmic consciousness is implied in its name—that fact is consciousness of the cosmos…This consciousness shows the cosmos to consist not of dead matter governed by unconscious, rigid, and unintending law; it shows it on the contrary as entirely immaterial, entirely spiritual and entirely alive; it shows that death is an absurdity, that everyone and everything has eternal life;; it shows that the universe is God and that God is the universe…” Cosmic Consciousness by Richard Maurice Bucke, 1901 A.D. Bucke goes on to explain: “Cosmic Consciousness, then, is a higher form of consciousness than that possessed by the ordinary man…Along with the consciousness of the cosmos there occurs an intellectual enlightenment or illumination which alone would place the individual on a new plane of existence—would make him almost a member of a new species.”) but which ultimately prove to be destructive (in an attempt, to quote the Wiccan, to effect a “divine communion with the use of drugs.” [“Mescaline, hashish, dancing, concentration – whisky among the Scots - these are some of the elements which go towards the ‘opening of the inner eye’ which is supposed to bring about the union of the man and the power within and without.” – Gerald Gardner, Witch p. 94].

The use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD and mescaline were considered shortcuts to the successful achievement of this mystical state as compared to the long-term training involved in the honing of the magicians will in traditional magic/yogic processes, as “There is,” to quote the tired old saying, “more than one way to skin a cat.” The 1960s drug culture was spawned as one mass Buddhism-based Theosophical Society-influenced CIA-sponsored occult-inspired entheogenic psychological experiment). Charles Manson is a good example of this (“Manson established himself as a guru in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, which, during 1967’s “Summer of Love,” was emerging as the signature hippie locale. Expounding a philosophy that included some of the Scientology he had studied in prison, he soon had his first group of young followers, most of them female.” – Wikipedia: Charles Manson. It must be noted L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology, asserts that Dianetics is in fact “the spiritual heir of Buddhism in the Western world,” and to quote Hubbard’s son, L. Ron, Jr.: “Black magic is the inner core of Scientology.” Mass murderer Charles Manson was one of Scientology’s most infamous adherents)…Many people attracted to metaphysics spend years of their lives following the secret (Buddhist-based) teachings, meditating (think: Yoga.

Aleister Crowley once said: “The work of the Body of Light—with the technique of Yoga—is the foundation of Magick.” This belief, of course, is derived from teachings to be found in The Tibetan Book of the Dead), and disciplining their minds in an effort to gain godhead (another term for mystical illumination) (to plug into the Cosmic Consciousness, the very mind of God itself. Notable Quote: “…the wicked Satan…continued not in his first estate, nor kept his faith;; in whom was no good intent towards Me (God), and who though I had created him, yet set me at naught, and sought the Godhead, so that I hurled him down from heaven.” - The First Book of Adam and Eve VI.7. Additional Notable Quote: “Iblis (Iblis is the Muslim name for ‘devil.’ This devil is Satan) had laid claim to the Godhead…and God hurled him down from heaven…” – The Book of the Rolls. Seek the godhead at your own risk!). More often than not they only succeed in opening themselves up to (demonic) possessions (also known as Overshadowing) and hallucinations 314

similar to those incurred by the use of psychedelic drugs or the practice of Black Magic or witchcraft. Today’s young people are rapidly gaining firsthand knowledge of the phantom world of demons and ultraterrestrials (purported other-dimensional beings) as a result of such efforts. The Hippie underground newspapers and comic books are now filled with a new lore of demons and demi-gods as well as much inside information on the cosmology of the supermind (the All/Brahman/the Mind of God/the Cosmic Consciousness/Godhead).

Dr Timothy Leary (an American psychonautic psychiatrist with a West Point Military Academy background; involved in MKULTRA research; founder of the League for Spiritual Discovery; Illuminates of Thanateros member and Chaos Magic practitioner;; by his own account “an admirer of Aleister Crowley” who as he professed in his book Flashbacks to be “carrying on much of the work that he [Crowley] started over a hundred years ago…” That the Illuminates of Thanateros [from Thanatos, the Greek god of death who is Azazel] is associated with Crowley’s OTO is evidenced in the body of Ramsey Dukes, a known intitiate of both orders) started the stampede to illumination and the Cosmic Consciousness in the late 1950s with his LSD experiments (as Leary reveals concerning his psychotropic experimentations: “we were attempting to create a new paganism” [See p. 208 Storming Heaven: LSD and the American Dream by Jay Stevens 1998 A.D.]. This “new paganism” was, of course, molded in part on old Hindu mystical teachings and Shamanistic practices such as those teachings espoused by the Theosophical Society, including those specifically to be found in the Buddhist Bardol Thodol, also known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead. I believe the title of the following manual/guide to a successful psychedelic-induced religious experience sums up Leary’s message quite nicely: Using LSD to Imprint the TibetanBuddhist Experience: A Guide to Successful Psychedelic Experience by Dr. Timothy Leary, Ph.D. For which reason the Laurel Canyon musician Jimi Hendrix begged the question: “Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?” He speaks of course of the psychedelic experience. Hendrix unsuccessfully sought the godhead.

And he had met an untimely death). Today the drug scene is a very important part of the youth subculture, much to the alarm of the over-forty crowd. The notorious music festival at Woodstock (August 15-18, 1969 A.D.) in the closing days of the last decade was actually a mass illumination experience (involving the use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD). The seemingly schizophrenic and destructive philosophy being touted by today’s young people is in fact identical to the programme of the Illuminati three centuries ago” - Our Haunted World: Mysteries of Time and Space. No doubt Keel divulged inside information. Note the reference to the Illuminati. As Timothy Leary himself explained: “A psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness…the Transcendence…of spacetime dimensions…Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. Most recently they have become available to anyone through the ingestion of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin (fungi-derived), mescaline (mescaline-containing cacti such as peyote have been used in Native American Shamanistic practices for thousands of years), DMT (Dimethyltryptamine; a plant derivative.

DMT-containing plants are commonly employed in South American Shamanistic magic rituals), etc.” Introduction to The Psychedelic Experience: “A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the

315

Dead by Timothy Leary, Ph.D., Ralph Metzner, Ph.D., & Richard Alpert, Ph.D…dedicated, to Alduous Huxley” (published 1964 A.D.; Huxley had died the year prior). Early 1960s psychiatric’s blessed psychedelic experimentation included the Harvard Psilocybin Project (psilocybin was distributed by Sandoz Labs to researchers free of charge): “The Harvard Psilocybin Project was a series of loose experiments in psychology conducted by Dr. Timothy Leary and (Ken Kesey associate) Dr. Richard Alpert. The founding board of the project consisted of Leary, Aldous Huxley, John Spiegel (later president of the American Psychiatric Association), Leary’s superior at Harvard University David McClelland, Frank Barron (remember this name;; Leary worked with Barron at Harvard’s Personality Clinic), Ralph Metzner (Professor Emeritus of psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco; one Metzner associate of note is Terrence McKenna who reputedly frequently experienced contact with alien intelligences while under the influence of entheogens), and two graduate students (Murphy/Price?) who were working on a project with mescaline. The experiments began some time in 1960 and lasted until March 1962…” – Wikipedia: Harvard Psilocybin Project. One of the experiments carried out under the Harvard Psilocybin Project was the ‘Marsh Chapel Experiment’: “In the Marsh Chapel Experiment (carried out at Boston University’s Marsh Chapel), which was run by Walter Pahnke at the Harvard Divinity School under the supervision of Timothy Leary, almost all of the graduate degree divinity student volunteers who received psilocybin (such as found in Magic Mushrooms) reported profound religious experiences.” – Wikipedia: Psilocybin (See also the Journal of Psychopharmacology xxx(xx) (2008) 1–12) (In 2006 A.D., a similar version of the Marsh Chapel Experiment was conducted at Johns Hopkins University by Roland R. Griffiths, Ph.D., yielding ‘very similar’ results). (“While drawing up plans for a psilocybin experiment, Leary and Alpert consulted two essays by Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell. By coincidence Huxley was in the area as a visiting lecturer at MIT. The elderly scholar was brought into the project, first as an adviser and then as a participant in a psilocybin experiment.” – Acid Dreams p.66. Hardly by coincidence; no doubt this was planned. Leary himself had also been introduced to Dr. Osmond by Huxley) (Allen Ginsberg’s experience with psilocybin had been a transformative experience for him and even prompted him to embark on a “psychedelic crusade”: “In December 1960 Allen Ginsberg and (American poet) Peter Orlovsky arrived at (Timothy) Leary’s house in Newton. Although Ginsberg was a veteran of psychedelic trips, he had never tried psilocybin, so when the opportunity presented itself he and Orlovsky jumped at it…Ginsberg was inundated by a rush of messianic feelings. "We're going to teach people to stop hating …. Start a peace and love movement," he triumphantly proclaimed…As far as he was concerned, psilocybin had vast implications far beyond the world of medicine; psychedelic drugs held the promise of changing mankind and ushering in a new millennium…” – Acid Dreams p.68. Allen Ginsberg had many contacts in the literary, art and musical fields (including Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones) which he immediately started turning on to psilocybin on both American coasts including many well known Greenwich Villagers included amongst which group was the great Dizzie Gilespie) One of the more Notable participants in the Harvard Psilocybin Project was: “Huston Cummings Smith (“a religious studies scholar in the United States. His book The World's Religions (originally titled The Religions of Man) remains a popular introduction to comparative religion”)…professor and chair of the philosophy department at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) from 1958 to 1973. While there, he participated in experiments with entheogens that professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert conducted at Harvard University. He then moved to Syracuse University, where he was Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Philosophy until his retirement in 1983 and current emeritus status. At University of California, Berkeley he was visiting professor of religious studies…As a young man, he suddenly turned from traditional Methodist Christianity to mysticism by the influence of the writings of Gerald Heard and Aldous Huxley (“Reared in England, he [Gerald Heard] studied philosophy and philosophy of religion at Cambridge University. He was a friend of H. G. Wells, Julian and Aldous Huxley, and others of that left-wing humanist circle in the 1930s

316

and 1940s. He spent his early career writing, teaching extension courses, and commenting on current events and science on the BBC. In 1937 he was offered a position at Duke University but, after a brief stay in North Carolina, decided instead to move to California where he eventually opened his own school in Trabuco Canyon near Los Angeles. Although it was called Trabuco College, Heard's school was really more an ashram (a commune). Trabuco was not merely a place to teach the religious life [in this case Eastern mysticism]; it was a place to live it.” – Saving the Earth p.68) (Gerald Heard, amongst other works including those of a comparative religious nature, penned a book entitled Is Another World Watching? The Riddle of the Flying Saucers. The London-born Gerald Heard, with Oxford and Cambridge University affiliations [Universities where the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn recruited many of its members, from where in its own turn, British intelligence also recruited], was editor of The Realist, a journal of scientific humanism whose sponsors included H.G. Wells (Wells was author of the sci-fi classic War of the Worlds depicting an alien invasion of the Earth inspired by the great UFO flap of 1896-1897 A.D.), Julian Huxley, and Aldous Huxley.

In 1927 Heard began lecturing for South Place Ethical Society [the oldest surviving Freethought organisation in the world]. During this period he [Huston Cummings Smith] was ‘Science Commentator’ for the BBC for a number of years; council member of the Society for Psychical Research [SPR],1932 – 1942 A.D.). In 1947, before moving from Denver to St. Louis, Smith set out to meet with then-famous author Gerald Heard. Heard responded to Smith's letter, inviting him to his Trabuco College (later donated as the Ramakrishna Monastery) (Heard was a teacher at the Vedanta Society prior to his establishment of Trabuco College [described as a ‘club for mystics’] which overlooked the Pacific Ocean at Laguna Beach) in Southern California [Trabuco College was affiliated with the Vedanta Society with which Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard were associated, as well as the Esalen Institute where CIA-employee Frank Barron was employed, likely all being involved to some degree in MKULTRA research [Huxley was also known for hosting ‘psychic Tuesday’ gatherings at his home in Beachwood Canyon in the Hollywood Hills area frequented by hypnotists and Spiritual mediums and Hollywood stars including Burgess Meredith and Paulette Goddard.

Huxley himself practiced Vedantic Hinduism at the Hollywood ashram (a type of commune) of Swami Prabhavananda (then head of the Ramakrishna Order) the end result of which was his anthology of mystical writings entitled The Perrennial Philosophy published in 1945 A.D.]. Heard made arrangements to have Smith meet the legendary author Aldous Huxley [in America on a Harvard visiting professorship]. Smith was told to look up Swami Satprakashananda of the Vedanta Society once he settled in St. Louis. So began Smith’s experimentation with meditation and association with the Vedanta Society of the Ramakrishna Order [Important Note: The Vedanta Society receives its name from the fact that it is dedicated to the teachings of the The Vedas. The Vedas are a large body of Hindu religious texts made up of four main canonical Samhita known as the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda [these teachings are incorporated into the system known as Vedantic Buddhism]. The Atharvaveda is a compilation of magic spells, incantations, charms and hymns. Indeed: “…the philosophy which underlies magic is the philosophy which appears in the Indian ‘Vedanta’ [also known as the Upanishads] the philosophy of ‘Monism’ [Monism is the belief that there is one God who has many manifestations in the diverse religious traditions, i.e., that all of the great teachers of the past, Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus, et al, were all manifestations of the one and only God. In this Monistic tradition will appear Azazel as Matraiya, known in The Bible as the False Prophet]. In this philosophy God and His Universe are seen to be one and the same” [not God and the Universe, but that God is the Universe]). – The Magician, His Training and Work by W.E. Butler, 1959 A.D.). Smith developed an interest in the Traditionalist School formulated by René Guénon and Ananda Coomaraswamy. This interest has become a continuing thread in all his writings.

Thanks to his connection with (Gerald) Heard and (Aldous) Huxley, Smith went on to meet Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (who later changed his name to Ram Dass), and others at the Center for Personality Research, where Leary was Research Professor. The group began

317

experimenting with psychedelics and what Smith later called ‘empirical metaphysics.’ The experience and history of the group are described in Smith's book Cleansing the Doors of Perception (the ‘science’ of Metaphysics can in my estimation be succinctly summed up as “Perception is Reality and Reality is Illusion” [Maya]). During this period, Smith was also part of the Harvard [Psilocybin] Project, an attempt to raise spiritual awareness through entheogenic plants [by definition hallucinagenic plants used in a religious, shamanic, or spiritual context].” – Wikipedia: Huston Smith). This gathering together, this meeting of Overshadowed magic-practicing minds, was, I should “reasonably” assume, and we all know what happens when one assumes, part of the entheogenic fact-finding aspect of project MKULTRA, though many of these individuals had interconnecting associations prior to its institution. In any event, I include the following quote/timeline which returns 16 results in an internet search (now 17), which I believe to be garnered from Leary’s book Flashbacks, for amusement purposes only: “1954-59: Leary is director of clinical research and psychology at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Oakland. He devises a personality test, "The Leary," which is used by CIA to test prospective employees. He has also become a close friend to Frank Barron, a graduate school classmate who has been working for CIA since at least 1953. Barron works at the Berkeley Institute for Personality Assessment and Research, which Leary will later acknowledge is "funded and staffed by OSS-CIA psychologists." 1960-61: Barron founds the Harvard Pyschedelic Drug Research Center. Leary follows Barron to Harvard and becomes a lecturer in psychology. After Barron administers to him some CIA-supplied psilocybin and LSD, Leary begins tripping regularly. He also studies the effects of psycheledics on others in controlled experiments (including the Harvard Psilocybin Project).

He later admits to knowing, at the time, that "some powerful people in Washington have sponsored all this drug research." In addition to Barron, Leary's associates and assistants during this period include former OSS chief pyschologist Harry Murray…” who oversaw the OSS’s ‘truth serum’ experiments. As Timothy Leary later conceded: "The LSD movement was started by the CIA…I wouldn’t be here now without the foresight of the CIA scientists…It was no accident…It was all planned and scripted…" - Acid Dreams p. 7.

As we learn from Wikipedia: “In the 1950s, (Gerald) Heard tried LSD and felt that, used properly, it had strong potential to ‘enlarge Man’s mind’ by allowing a person to see beyond his ego (at this point he began to lecture as much at venues such as Sequoia Seminar).

In late August 1956, Alcoholics Anonymous founder Bill Wilson first took LSD — under Heard’s guidance and with the officiating presence of Dr. Sidney Cohen (typically MKULTRA in practice), a psychiatrist then with the California Veterans Administration Hospital. According to Wilson, the session allowed him to re-experience a spontaneous spiritual experience he had had years before, which had enabled him to overcome his own alcoholism.”** – Wikipedia: Gerald Heard (**Al Hubbard is credited with the development of psychedelic therapy involving LSD in the 1950s (See Acid Dreams). Indeed: “When LSD was first introduced to the United States in 1949, it was well received by the scientific community (as a point of reference, L. Ron Hubbards article on ‘Dianetics’ lauding the Shamanistic approach [including the use of entheogens] to psychiatric treatment was published in May, 1950 A.D.; more on this subject later). Within less than a decade the drug had risen to a position of high standing among psychiatrists. LSD therapy was by no means a fad or a fly-by-night venture. More than one thousand clinical papers were written on the subject, discussing some forty thousand patients.” – Acid Dreams p.76 (Colin Wilson in his book Alien Dawn [p.4] describes the experience of one such psychiatrist who was involved in LSD therapy named Stan Grof who had been treating a manic depressive with violent suicidal tendancies: “Her first two sessions with high doses of LSD were not unusual…Two hours into the third session, the facial cramps from which she normally suffered became stronger and more painful. Suddenly, her face froze into what Grof describes as ‘a mask of evil.’ She began to speak in a deep male voice, and she seemed to undergo a total change of personality.

The male voice introduced itself as the Devil. He ordered Grof to stay away from her, saying

318

she belonged to him…Grof says they could all feel the ‘tangible presence of something alien’ in the room.” LSD use does, in fact, open the mind up to demonic influences, hence its Shamanistic roots). At this time many individuals and anthropologists such as Gerald B. Gardner and Jaques Vallee [Vallee currently resides in San Francisco, CA] were traveling abroad, learning Shamanistic practices and importing these practices back into their countries of origin, and ultimately, to America [likely under MKULTRA auspices]).

Gerald Heards work with entheogenic drugs certainly proceeded this concerted endeavor. In 1942 A.D., Gerald Heard founded Trabuco College in Trabuco Canyo in the Santa Ana Mountains as a commune-type enterprise where comparative religious studies and Shamanistic practices could be pursued in a private setting (magic rituals including, no doubt the use of entheogenic drugs). In 1949 A.D. Heard transferred ownership of the college to the Vedanta Society of Southern California. It would seem Gerald Heard was quite the pioneer (it was said, it must be noted, MKULTRA experiments may have begun as early as the 1940s, and likely was the reason Trabuco College was established, and if not formally a part of MKULTRA itself, it was certainly a preliminary version of it). However, ritual use of hallucinogens was in all likelihood not an uncommon Theosophical Society practice, particularly amongst the magic practicing members of its ‘Esoteric Section.’

The story of magic and the fallen angels is incomplete without the story of psychedelic drugs and the Shamanistic practices with which they are associated: “In May 1957 Life magazine ran a story on the discovery of the "magic mushroom" as part of its Great Adventure series. Written by R. Gordon Wasson, the seventeenpage spread, complete with color photos, was laudatory in every way. Wasson, a vice-president of J. P. Morgan and Company, pursued a lifelong interest in mushrooms (ethnomycology) as a personal hobby. He and his wife, Valentina, journeyed all over the world, treading a unique path through the back roads of history in an effort to learn about the role of toadstools in primitive societies. Their travels took them to the remote highlands of Mexico, where they met a medicine woman who agreed to serve them teonanacati, or "God's flesh," as the divine mushrooms were called…Wasson's account constituted nothing less than a journalistic breakthrough. A mass audience was introduced to the mysterious world of chemical hallucinogens, and soon hundreds of people started flocking to Mexico to find their own curandero (a ‘curandero’ is a Latin American Shaman). At the same time Dr. Albert Hofmann conducted a chemical analysis of the divine mushroom at Sandoz Laboratories. He extracted the active ingredients and synthesized a new compound: psilocybin.” – Acid Dreams p.63-64. Such entheogenic travels of this nature are making a comeback today. I recently (circa 2011 A.D.) saw a documentary show on T.V. concerning a husband’s and wife’s trip to somewhere where they reported to the village’s chief who proceded to ‘welcome’ them with such an entheogenic brew!

Students, ask your aged Philosophy, Psychiatry, Anthropology and Comparative Religion professors about their experiences in the acid 319

soaked 60s. They might even be holding. As W.E. Butler (a Spiritualist medium whose formal training was within the Spiritualist Liberal Catholic Church and who later became a member of Theosophical Society-member Dion Fortune’s Society of the Inner Light [created with the intention of reinstating the Ancient Mysteries], all of which are active today [Fortune formed this society after leaving Moina Mathers’ (sister of Henri Bergson and wife of then deceased Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader S.L. MacGregor Mathers) Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega (as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was at that time called)], and who authored a number of books on the New Age subjects of magic and Kabbala) in his book The Magician, His Training and Work (1959 A.D.) illuminates: “In the accounts of the witchcraft trials of the Middle Ages and later, the use of ointments to produce supernormal results is mentioned. Such ointments (the recipes of several are known) usually contained drugs which have a strong effect on the heart and nervous system, as well as producing hallucinatory effects. The use of such drugs is as old as humanity.” Indeed: “The New Forest coven [of witches, of which Gerald B. Gardner was a member]…used a hallucinogen, but this was fly-agaric, a common British fungi, which they took orally in extremely small doses. Fly-agaric and similar fungi [collectively known as Magic Mushrooms] have been used all over the world from time immemorial. It was used by the Vikings when they wished to go berserk [known as Berserkers in Dungeons and Dragons© lore] and, at the other end of the Euro-Asian land mass, by Siberian shamans to achieve trance [it is akin to the Buddhist’s Soma].

Curiously enough, it seems to have escaped the attention of the hippies in their enthusiastic pursuit of psychedelic-experience probably fortunately for them, for the essential alkaloid is extremely toxic, samples of the fungus vary widely in their potency, and the unwary user can very easily wind up on a mortuary slab.” (In 1910 A.D. Aleister Crowley publicly performed the Rite of Eleusis magick ceremony at Craxton Hall in England serving hallucinogenic magic mushrooms to his assembled audience.

Many stage performances theatrical in nature are ritualistic in reality. A later public performance of these rites in London circa 1914 A.D. included Crowley’s administration to those assembled of an “Elixir of the Gods” in the form of a white wine mixed with the psychedelic drug mescaline.

It was in this tradition that Kenneth Anger had planned to perform a Crowley invocation ritual for the Autumnal Equinox at the Straight Theatre in the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco including a performance by Bobby Beausoleil’s band The Magick Powerhouse of Oz [See INTERVIEWS WITH BOBBY BEAUSOLEIL 1998-9 by Michael Moynihan for Seconds© Magazine) (In a related note: “Robert Cochrane (26 January 1931 - 3 July 1966), who was born as Roy Bowers, was an English Neopagan witch who founded the tradition known as Cochrane's Craft…In 1966, he committed ritual suicide [on Midsummer Day].” –

Wikipedia: Robert Cochrane. Cochrane’s coven of witches, called the ‘Cult of Tubal Cain,’ included Doreen Valiente, one-time Wicca high-priestess in Gerald B. Gardner’s very own Bricket Wood Coven [into which she had been initiated by Gardner in 1953 A.D.]. Cochrane was in the habit of consuming hallucinogenic drugs he called ‘witches potions.’ As previously noted, witch’s potions were often hallucinogenic in nature, and oft times they were deadly poisonous. In order to highlight the involvement of members of the military in witchcraft [as well as stage magic and psychology], one case in point is British Major Charles Cardell who has associations with Gerald B. Gardner’s aforementioned Bricket Wood Coven, and who is actually credited with coining the term ‘Wicca.’ One of the Major’s notable friends was Raymond Howard, founder of the Coven of Atho. After his stint in the army where Cardell served mainly in India, he would go on to become a stage conjurer/magician and also a psychologist who specialized during the 1950s and 1960s in treating patients who had experienced adverse effects during the course of their witchcraft practices.

Enter Psychedelic Ranger Michael Bowman. As we learn from Acid Dreams: “…(Michael) Bowen had fallen under the singular and charismatic influence of a mysterious guru-type figure named John Starr Cooke (Cooke had spent a number of years in Algiers with a Sufi magic-practicing sect before he came to the Haight in the early 1960s, his shaved head denoting his Sufi magic-practicing adeptship. Later he would move his operations to Mexico likely as part of a drug trafficking piperline; drug trafficking and magic practices often go hand in hand due to the Shamanistic nature of entheogens). A man of wealth and influential family connections, Cooke was no stranger to high-level CIA personnel. His sister, Alice, to whom he was very close, was married to Roger Kent, a prominent figure in the California state Democratic party;; Roger’s brother, Sherman Kent, was head of the CIA’s National Board of Estimates (an extremely powerful position) and served as CIA director Allen Dulles’s right-hand man during the Cold War. John Cooke hobnobbed with Sherman Kent at annual family reunions and is said to have made the acquaintance of a number of CIA operatives while traveling in Europe. Driven by an avid interest in the occult, Cooke journeyed around the world befriending an assortment of mystics and spiritual teachers. In the early 1950S he became a close confidant of L. Ron Hubbard, the ex-navy officer who founded the Scientology organization. Cooke rose high in the ranks of the newly formed religious cult (He was the first ‘clear’ in America, meaning he had attained the level of an advanced Scientology initiate)…While the Haight was in its heyday, Cooke was sequestered at a secluded outpost in Cuernavaca, Mexico (his home until he died in 1976), from whence he directed a small but dedicated band of acid evangelists known as the Psychedelic Rangers. Michael Bowen was a member of this group. At Cooke’s instruction a half-dozen (Psychedelic) Rangers were dispatched to various psychedelic hot spots in North America and Europe. Bowen went to Millbrook to try and influence the thinking of (Timothy) Leary’s clan and lure some of them back to Mexico where Cooke was leading séances while high on acid. Among those who are said to have visited the crippled psychic were Ralph Metzner, songwriter Leonard 321

Cohen, Andrija Puharich (author of The Sacred Mushroom: Key to the Door of Eternity [1959 A.D.]), who conducted parapsychology and drug experiments (including the use of LSD to enhance ones Extra Sensual Perception as an MKULTRA Subproject) for the US military in the late 1950s, and Seymour (‘The Head’) Lazare, a wealthy business associate of William Mellon Hitchcock.

Following Cooke’s ‘master plan’ (MKULTRA), the Psychedelic Rangers targeted selected individuals for high-dose LSD initiations. They employed 2,000 to 3,000 micrograms (100 to 250 micrograms is usually sufficient for a full-blown acid trip) during a single session in an effort to bring about a rapid and permanent transformation of psychological disposition. Bowen claims he furnished acid to a number of well-known public figures, including comedian Dick Gregory (an exmilitary man and U.S. government employee active in the civil rights movement) and Jerry Rubin, the future Yippie leader. He also turned on certain journalists (among them a reporter for Life magazine) with the hope that they might see the Clear Light (a concept originating in The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which banner as a result Leary would later take up. See also Ösel, the Yoga of the Clear Light of Tantric Buddhism), as it were, and present a more favorable picture of LSD in the press. Cooke and his Psychedelic Rangers believed that by spreading the LSD revelation they were helping to enlighten mankind. They fancied themselves cosmic Good Guys secretly battling the Forces of Darkness in an all-out struggle that would ultimately determine the destiny of the planet. Their world view was distinctly Manichaean: Eros versus Thanatos, the great mythic showdown, with history merely the echo of these titanic opposites locked in eternal conflict (note the white magic versus black magic connotations). In this respect their perceptions were akin to those of another group of psychedelic devotees who operated in secret while invoking a Manichaean demonology to justify their activities. Nourished by the dual specter of an all-powerful enemy (Communism) and a permanently threatened national security, the CIA assumed the role of America’s first line of defense. In its never-ending battle against the Red Menace the cult of intelligence utilized every weapon at its disposal, including covert LSD warfare. In 1966 Michael Bowen settled in Haight-Ashbury, at the specific request of John Cooke. The two men communicated on a regular basis, keeping each other abreast of new developments within the burgeoning youth culture. When the Oracle people convened at Bowen’s pad after the Love Pageant Rally, he dutifully called his spiritual adviser (Cooke) to tell him what had transpired. During their conversation, according to Bowen, the plan for an even bigger event was conceived: a ‘Gathering of the Tribes,’ a spiritual occasion of otherworldly dimensions that would raise the vibration of the entire planet. The Haight would host the Happening of happenings. It would be the first Human Be-In.” – pp.125-126 Acid Dreams “Dr. Timothy Leary (in a modern sense an LSD magician for whom LSD served as a sacrament, and who has confessed to have been at one time “engaged in a program 322

of experiments with LSD and other psychedelic drugs at Harvard University” where along with psychologist and Ken Kesey-associated Merry Prankster Dr. Richard Alpert he commenced to ‘french fry’ the brains of Harvard attendees with his LSD experiments and this with MKULTRA funding), was a 1960s counter-culture icon: “Leary was invited to attend the January 14, 1967 Human Be-In (a “gathering of all the [Hippie] tribes, all the communal groups,” advocates of the philosophies of Dr. Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey, sponsored by the Midpeninsula Free University, the president of which was a Merry Prankster named Robert Cullenbine, one of Barack Obama’s Deputy Field Organizers during his 2008 A.D. presidential campaign. This event included a magic mantra-chanting Allen Ginsberg as well as a musical performance by The Grateful Dead; it is said promoters distributed some 5,000 free doses of the psychedelic drug STP at this event) by Michael Bowen the primary organizer of the event (organized at the behest of the CIA’s MKULTRA man in the field, John Starr Cooke).

Leary spoke at the Human Be-In, a gathering of 30,000 hippies in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and uttered the famous phrase, "Turn on, tune in, drop out" (Notable Leary quote: “Turningon is a complex, demanding, frightening, confusing process [which of course involved an LSD lifestyle]. It requires diligent Yoga…Drop-out means exactly that: drop-out…Quit school. Quit your job. Don't vote. Avoid all politics…you must form your own cult [Leary defines this as a “family-clan-tribal cell”]…You must start your own religion…You must form that most ancient and sacred of human structures - the clan. A clan or cult is a small group of human beings organised around a religious goal…You are GOD…YOU ARE GOD: REMEMBER!” – Start Your Own Religion by Timothy Leary, 1967 A.D. No joke. That’s what it says. No doubt Charles Manson was an ardent supporter of the doctrines of Timothy Leary. At any rate, he was given to hang out with the Laurel Canyon cabal which included visits from Leary’s associate Dr. Richard Alpert. Replete as it is paradoxically enough with an anti-Hollywood/anti-T.V. message, this How-To guide really sheds a light on the phenomenom known as Charles Manson and the Manson Family (Manson and the Family was a microcosm of the macrocosm which was 1960s California, and they were front and center in the mystic middle of the action). Another such Learyinfluenced group was headed by Stephen Gaskin, college professor and HaightAshbury spiritual teacher who later became spiritual leader of a Tennessee hippie commune called ‘The Farm’ established in 1971 A.D. by Gaskin and a following of 320 San Francisco hippies (the introduction of Speed, Crank and heroine into Haight-Ashbury literally dealt a death blow to the 1960s youth movement (one important lesson the CIA learned in Haight-Ashbury is how drugs can be used to destroy a neighborhood); disillusionment inevitably set in along with the criminal element): “Gaskin and his circle were rethinking their daily lives, their tribal headman was also attracting a following. In March 1966 Gaskin began to offer informal courses in San Francisco State's new Experimental College. Listed under titles such as "North American White Witchcraft," "Magic, Einstein, and God," "Group Experiments in Unified Field Theory," and "Meta-PE," these courses blended literature on mysticism, magic, popular philosophy and psychology, and hallucinogenic experience.” – Manhood in the Age of Aquarius by Tim Hodgdon. These are but a small number of examples of a very large number of such communes located around the country [as well as in other countries, Jim Jones’ included] based upon Theodore Reuss’ concept of a social Utopia which were similarly patterned upon Aleister Crowley’s commune

at his Abbey of Thelema at Cefalú in Sicily)…On June 1, 1969, Leary joined John

Lennon and Yoko Ono at their Montreal Bed-In” (Bed-In is a play on words of the Hippie Be-In) (Timothy Leary was, to quote President Richard Nixon, “the most dangerous man in America,” he not counting, of course, himself; at any rate Leary was working with the CIA over which Nixon himself as the nation’s commander-inchief ultimately presided). – Wikipedia: Timothy Leary. Leary, it must be noted, was an associate of Aldous Huxley (sci-fi writer and friend of sci-fi/horror author Ray Bradbury;; “In October 1930, the English occultist Aleister Crowley dined with Huxley (at which time they became friends) in Berlin...In 1938 Huxley befriended J. Krishnamurti (of Theosophical Society-fame), whose teachings he greatly admired” – Wikipedia: Aldous Huxley. Teachings Huxley admired, and I must say, openly propounded. Huxley, in fact, became a life-long friend of J. Krishnamurti (as a matter of fact, J. Krishnamurti retained a residence in Ojai, CA at the Pepper Tree Retreat, which, as we learn from its website circa 2011 A.D.: “Pepper Tree Retreat (& Education Center) is the former guest house of noted philosopher J. Krishnamurti, who lived at nearby Pine Cottage (now the Krishnamurti Library) from 1922 to 1986. During his 64 years in Ojai, Krishnamurti welcomed thousands of visitors from around the world who were challenged by his penetrating inquiries into the fundamental questions of life. These included such 20th Century luminaries as Annie Besant, Aldous Huxley, John Barrymore, Greta Garbo, David Bohm, Dr. Jonas Salk, D.H. Lawrence, Jackson Pollack, Igor Stravinsky, The Beatles, and many others.”

‘Others’ included Bertrand Russell). The British born Oxford University educated

Aldous Huxley had known Fabian Society associations [Author’s Note: the Fabian Society included members of the Theosophical Society as well as known members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] including amongst which was Bertrand Russell (it was Russell who allegedly introduced what was to become the famous ‘peace sign’ of the hippies which in witchcraft is known as the ‘witch’s foot’ (See p.63 Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente) and alternately as the ‘witch’s mark’ [a ‘three-nailed claw’], which later prompted the hippie-hating Satanist Anton LaVey to once furociously proclaim: “Beware you psychedelic vermin!...We know your mark and recognize it well.”), Huxley also being a friend to D.H. Lawrence, T.S. Elliot and Virginia Woolf [they also all being part of the Lady Ottoline Morrell literary-salon circle], D.H. Lawrence himself being associated with Ezra Pound (Ezra Pound, a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats, was also the friend of a woman named Eva Fowler, the daughter of Bohemian Club president Paul Neumann. The Bohemian Club is headquartered in San Francisco, CA).

Huxley was also associated with the Vedanta Society. The rock group The Doors took their name from the title of one of Huxley’s novels entitled The Doors of Perception, a book which served to pique the public’s interest in such hallucinogenic substances (The Doors lead singer Jim Morrison unsurprising enough was the son of Admiral George Stephen Morrison of ‘Tonkin Gulf Incident’ fame, leader of the inanely staged non-event which would vault American forces into the very Vietnamese War the hippies so vehemently opposed, an incident which declassified U.S. documents reveal was itself entirely faked in order to ramp up the so-called ‘police-action’ war in Vietnam. That the U.S. government was certainly less than truthful and in fact was employing downright lies amidst a concerted major misinformation campaign in this respect is evidenced by the highly-inflammatory Pentagon Papers released by the New York Times© in 1971 A.D.). The book title itself was derived from the writings of the English Druid William Blake (“If the 324

doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.

For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.” – The Marriage of Heaven an Hell by William Blake), its story touched on a theory by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader S.L. Macgregor Mather’s brother-in-law philosopher Henri Bergson (in this novel Huxley describes a transformative religious experience of an “Otherworldly quality” while under the influence of the hallucinogen mescaline supplied to him in 1953 A.D. by a certain Dr. Humphry Osmond who had once poetically written Huxley: “To fathom hell or soar angelic,/Just take a pinch of psychedelic.” It was: “While writing Heaven and Hell (the sequel to The Doors of Perception) (a title derived from Blake’s poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell) in 1955, Huxley had his second mescaline experience, this time in the company of Captain Al Hubbard (an associate of Dr. Humphry Osmond). They were joined by philosopher Gerald Heard, a close friend of Huxley’s…Later that same year, with the Captain (Al Hubbard) again acting as a guide, Huxley took his first dose of LSD.” – Acid Dreams p.46. In this respect Huxley joins a list occultists who have written books about their drug experiences in the tradition of the Shamans of old. Aleister Crowley in a like way was known to have used mescaline during many of his magic rituals, typically Shamanistic in practice (in particular note Crowley’s book The Diary of a Drug Fiend; no doubt he and Huxley had discussed the subject). (Beatniks like many practitioners of magic before them were certainly into drugs, magic and poetry, and to this fact we owe the following ditty to the magic-practicing proto-Beatnik Jack Parsons circa 1943 A.D.: "I hight Don Quixote, I live on peyote, marijuana, morphine and cocaine,/I never know sadness, but only a madness that burns at the heart and the brain./I see each charwoman, ecstatic, inhuman, angelic, demonic, divine./Each wagon a dragon, each beer mug a flagon that brims with ambrosial wine.")

As with other hallucinogens, during the use of mescaline synesthesia may be experienced, especially with the help of musical stimulation (for this reason many Shamanistic rituals involve drums and drum circles, often in evidence at rock concerts and music festivals), which explains the whole 1960s rock and roll music scene, which itself traces its early popularity to Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley (Bobby Beausoleil cite’s Presley’s "Hound Dog" as the catalyst which launched him on his musical career [See INTERVIEWS WITH BOBBY BEAUSOLEIL 19989 by Michael Moynihan for Seconds Magazine]). American culture has long been highly-influenced by the Theosophical Society and the fallen angels who drive its Overshadowed members on). The LSD guru Timothy Leary associated with Allen Ginsberg (Ginsburg himself was an associate of Ken Kesey) as well as with the “King of the Beats” Jack Kerouac (all of whom resided in San Francisco, all leading figures of the Beat Generation (‘Beat,’ from ‘beatific,’ “blessed,” wandering magicpracticing wise men like the Neoplatonic troubadours and the Gaelic and English Druidic bards of a medaeval age’s yesteryear, magic-practicing misfits, drop outs from the established Christian society). The British Beatnik authors set in motion on America’s shores the classic Illuminist subversive plan, a strategy straight out of the Illuminati playbook: “Many romances, novels, journeys through Germany and other countries, are written on purpose to attach praise or reproach to certain sentiments, characters, and pieces of conduct.” – Proofs of a Conspiracy (1798 A.D.).

Borrowing a page out of the Illuminati play book, in the case of the Beatniks, they praised magic, drugs, Buddhism and likewise, a defiant revolutionary itinerant 325

lifestyle.

The Beat Generation expounded the Buddhist principles (dubbed Beat Zen) as promulgated by the Theosophical Society. That the word ‘beatnik’ was coined [April 2, 1958 A.D.] by a San Francisco Chronicle Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist [Herb Caen, who had an outsized influence on the American pop-culture of his day], whose writings did much to popularize the lifestyle, says a lot in itself, I should think). This was all in conjunction with the CIA’s Project MKULTRA (which sought to clinically study the use of hallucinogens as pertains to mind control applications; as must be noted, one of the German scientists brought to the U.S. during ‘Project Paperclip’ included one Dr. Hubertus Strughold who carried out extensive wartime experiments with various hallucinogenic drugs at the Dachau concentration camp in Bavaria, Germany during WWII), including Ken Kesey’s San Francisco Bay Area Acid Test parties and Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters, included amongst whose ranks was the members of The Grateful Dead rock band (a central figure in the Acid Tests was Kesey’s Beatnik friend Allen Ginsberg. ‘Acid’ is slang for LSD. One of the Acid Test’s more modern incarnations in America is the Rave, which in reality dates back to the Acid House Parties of the Soho beatnik set in 1950s London, no doubt imported to North Beach and San Francisco by the 1950s British Beatniks Alan Watts and Aldous Huxley. Those individuals attracted to the Beatnik lifestyle as glorified in the novels of Allen Ginsberg, his friends William S. Burroughs (Burroughs, versed in the writings of Eliphas Levi and the Golden Dawn, joined the Church of Scientology in the 1960s) and Jack Kerouac streamed onto the western coast of the United States becoming the hippies of the ’60s as LSD was soon thrown into the mix (Beatniks, like Plato and the Platonists before them, traveled the world over searching out witch doctors and medicine men alike (as an example, in 1953 A.D. Bourroughs spent time in Columbia on such an entheogenic magic quest), studying magic, and were partakers of sacramental psychedelic entheogens while actively participating in many Shamanistic magic rituals). As we learn from Acid Dreams: “Ginsberg…and the other poets and artists associated with the beat generation sampled a veritable pharmacopoeia of different drugs in various dosages and combinations, and publicly extolled their virtues…Intoxicated states were the keystone of beat literature, and they chronicled their insights in poetry and prose.”

One of these so-called ‘other poets,’ one who was accustomed to giving poetry readings alongside Allen Ginsberg, was a friend of Kenneth Anger named Michael McClure, an associate of Hell’s Angels member Freewheelin’ Frank (Ken Kesey was also associated with the Hell’s Angels group, members of which attended a number of his many hallucinogenic parties). Michael McClure was an associate of artist/film maker/occultist Andy Warhol and was a ‘close friend’ of Jim Morrison from The Doors (Morrison like Kenneth Anger also has ties to the Church of Satan and was a known ‘Crowleyite.’ Morrison died at an early age in 1971 A.D. from a suspected heroin overdose). Warhol designed the cover art for the Rolling Stones albums ‘Sticky Fingers’ (1971 A.D.) and ‘Love You Live’ (1977 A.D.). Andy Warhol is connected to Ron and Nancy Reagan through a close friend of the Reagans, Warhol’s business partner Bob Colacello. A photographer for the Warhol Factory with whom Andy Warhol had a brief romantic affair was a self-described “black magician” and Buddhist astrology-enthusiast called Billy Name. One of Warhol’s 326

friends, a man named Chuck Wein, nicknamed The Wizard, lived in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles the import of which fact will only later become apparent). In fact, it was one of Ken Kesey’s** LSD suppliers, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, who in his spare time from LSD manufacturing started The Grateful Dead musical group, and hence was born ‘Acid Rock’ (See The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test p.339, 340 (Notable Quote Concerning Owsley: “Owsley cultivated an image as a wizard-alchemist whose intentions with LSD were priestly and magical.” – Acid Dreams. Owsley it is important to note had been employed at one point by Jet Propulsion Laboratories). In fact: “Garcia had first named his group The Warlocks, meaning sorcerers or wizards…” - Ibid p.380. The Grateful Dead reportedly derived its present name from the Egyptian Book of the Dead where this term is used in association with the Egyptian god Osiris who is Azazel/Behemoth).

Indubitably, in full circle, “the acid scene spread to England in late 1966 and 1967,” where The Beatles became enamored with the psychedelic experience, signaling their entrance into the ‘acid rock’ genre, giving birth to their Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band©, Yellow Submarine© and Magical Mystery Tour© albums (a decided departure from the nature of their previous output), and at which time The Beatles entered their infamous Buddhism phase, a veritable Transcendental transformation (in fact: “…fundamental Christians…maintained that the LennonMcCartney sound was a magical beat stolen from the ancient Druids. According to them, in ancient times these pagan priests would beat out the demonic rhythm on drums made of human skin to summon evil spirits.” – p. 44 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley). Magic and mysticism, once again, ruled the day. The same scene being played out in America during the ’60s was simultaneously taking place in England thanks to the newly minted Pan Am ‘jet set’: “The Underground was a countercultural movement in the United Kingdom linked to the underground culture in the United States and associated with the hippie phenomenon. Its primary focus was around Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill in London. It generated its own magazines and newspapers, bands, clubs and alternative lifestyle, associated with cannabis and LSD use and a strong socio-political revolutionary agenda to create an alternative society.” – Wikipedia: the Underground). (**One notable individual associated with The Grateful Dead was lyricist Robert Hunter: “Robert C. Hunter (born June 23, 1941) is an American lyricist, singer-songwriter, translator, and poet, best known for his association with Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead...Around 1962 [as a point of reference, The Grateful Dead officially formed in 1965 A.D.], Hunter was an early volunteer test subject (along with Ken Kesey) for psychedelic chemicals at Stanford University’s research [facility] covertly sponsored by the CIA in their MKULTRA program. [McNally 42] He was paid to take LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline and report on his experiences...” – Wikipedia: Robert Hunter (lyricist). Notable Grateful Dead/Robert Hunter Lyrical Quote: “A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.” – Friend of the Devil, from The Grateful Dead’s ‘American Beauty’ album, 1970 A.D.)

East Village in New York was in many aspects an East Coast version of Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco: “Abbie Hoffman was an East Village hippie who'd been a civil rights organizer before he 327

turned on to acid in 1965 courtesy of his roommate, an army psychologist who supplied the LSD. Hoffman got into drugs and grew his curly hair long, but he remained an activist at heart. He was involved in staging the New York be-in during the spring of 1967—an event modeled after the first Human Be-In in San Francisco…” – Acid Dreams. Magic has long played an uncelebrated underground role in much of the history of this world. The 1960s was no exception.

Consider the event known as the March on the Pentagon: “(Jerry) Rubin had picked up a bit of occult folklore from Michael Bowen, the Psychedelic Ranger from Haight-Ashbury who had organized the San Francisco be-in and turned Rubin on to LSD earlier that year. A fivesided figure, Bowen explained, is a symbol of power, and when the figure is pointed north like the Pentagon building in Washington, it represents the forces of evil. As America’s unpopular war in Vietnam raged on, it was conspired to raise an army of mystics to descend on the Pentagon there to perform an ‘exorcism’ of evil (Author’s note: one of the duties of Shamans the world over is the performance of excorcisms): ‘Seventy-five thousand protesters assembled at the Lincoln Memorial, including a sizable number of hippie types dressed in colorful costumes. The motley army of witches, warlocks, sorcerers, and long-haired bards who had come to celebrate the mystic revolution lent a carnival atmosphere to the demonstration.’” – Acid Dreams (Jerry Rubin notably enough would go on to become a successful businessman and early investor in Apple Computer©. Apple Computer© founder Steve Jobs was also part of the HaightAshbury countercultural scene, even admitting to using LSD. Steve Jobs took Timothy Leary’s advice; tuning in and dropping out of college he travelled to India where he achieved a Buddhistic spiritual enlightenment, later returning to the States and thereafter forming the highly successful and world transforming Apple Computer© computer company. A classic case of Overshadowing? You be the judge. Jerry Rubin was a cofounder of the revolutionary anarchist Youth International Party known as the Yippies along with Allen Ginsberg, Abbie "Kill Your Parents!" Hoffman and Paul Krassner. Ed Sanders was also associated with this group).

Interestingly enough, Kenneth Anger was one of the practitioners of magic present at the March on the Pentagon:

“…in late October, 1967…Kenneth Anger, during the famed Excorcism and March on the Pentagon, was in Washington, D.C. conducting a notable magic ritual beneath a flat-bed truck parked in front of the Pentagon. While various Diggers (the Diggers were a Haight-Ashbury anarchist group formed in 1966 A.D. which took its name from a group of radical nonconforming commune-ists from the 328

English Civil War [circa the 17th Cntury A.D.], a group with whom they themselves related) and excorcists were standing atop the flat-bed truck screeching “Out Demons Out,” Anger, tattoo of Lucifer upon his chest, burned a picture of the devil within a consecrated pentagram, shouting oaths and hissing as he flashed a magic ring at inquiring reporters thrusting microphones at him hunched down in the gravel.” – p.50 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D. Sanders himself was a participant in this protest (The perpetual mental out-patients known as the Diggers are connected to what is called ‘guerrilla theatre.’ The term ‘geurilla theatre’ was coined by director Peter Berg [alias Peter Coyote] in 1965 A.D. for the San Francisco Mime Troupe, an anarchist improv theatre group [“Not street-theater, the street is theater.” – Trip Without a Ticket by the Diggers] active in 1960s Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco consisting of magic practcing poets, writers, actors and artists advocating "revolutionary sociopolitical change." As per Wikipedia: “In autumn 1966 around 20 members of the San Francisco Mime Troupe broke off and started their own collective called the Diggers, who took their name from a group of 17th century radicals in England.” The following quote is exemplary of such staged ‘guerilla theatre’ antics: “A Digger event. Flowers, mirrors, penny-whistles, girls in costumes of themselves, Hell's Angels, street people, Mime Troupe. (Hell’s) Angels ride up Haight with girls holding Now! signs. Flowers and penny-whistles passed out to everyone (a penny whistle is a six-holed woodwind instrument which the English Diggers of the 17th century used to provide musical accompaniment to their ballads). A chorus on both sides of the street chanting Uhh!—Ahh!— Shh be cool! Mirrors held up to reflect faces of passersby.” [See Trip Without a Ticket by the Diggers]. Needless to say there was some heavy duty trippin’ goin’ on in the Haight—no ticket needed! The influence projected upon the Diggers by The Process Church of the Final Judgment cannot be understated. The Process often said it was a mirror in which people saw themselves. The Diggers definitely had associations with The Process Church: “The Process, or members of it, visited Los Angeles late in 1967 around the same time as the DeGrimstons sent Process members to San Francisco [to Haight-Ashbury]. In Los Angeles they spent several weeks at a house operated by the Diggers on North Highland just south of Sunset Boulevard…” – The Process by Ed Sanders. At any rate, the Digger concept of the “Now!” from the phrase ‘Stand up now’ as related in The Digger Song is a call to revolution [See A Ballad History of England, Palmer, 1630 A.D.]. Jim Morrison also mimicked the Digger call to revolution in a song: “We want the world and we want it…Now!” [See ‘When the Music’s Over’ (1967 A.D.) by The Doors]. This concept of the “Now” was also parroted by Charles Manson [Manson’s concept of living in the “Now” seems to derive from Ralph Waldo Emerson poem entitled Oversoul as set forth in Bucke’s Cosmic Consciousness: “…the soul that ascendeth to worship the great God is plain and true…dwells in the hour that now is.”]: “To Charlie, fear was the same thing as awareness. The more fear you had, the more awareness you had. The more awareness, the more love. You know what it's like? Its like when you're really all scared out. You know, and you come to Now. Well, when you're at Now, you're totally conscious.” – Helter Skelter. Why Peter Coyote? Cause Charlie used to say the coyote was the most aware creature there was. Manson Familiy-member Bobby Beausoleil’s band The Orkustra was known as “the Diggers’ band”; at one point they even shared the stage with The Grateful Dead at one of the Diggers’ free concerts. Bobby Beausoleil was a friend of Diggers founding member Emmet Grogan. In fact, Beausoleil first met Kenneth Anger at a Diggers’ Bacchanalian concert event sponsored by the Berkeleybased Sexual Freedom League at the Glide Memorial Church in the Haight. It was at this fateful meeting where Bobby Beausoleil received the offer to star as Lucifer in Kenneth Anger’s film Lucifer Rising [See ‘INTERVIEWS WITH BOBBY BEAUSOLEIL 1998-9’ by Michael Moynihan for Seconds Magazine])

There was in these halcyon days of yore an attempt on the part of practitioners of magic to have hallucinogenic drugs, previously outlawed (with the exception of psychiatric experimentation in a sterile clinical setting), legalized as part of religious ritual by employing a Freedom-of-Religion-angle, particularly through the League for Spiritual Discovery (previously defunct, it was re-founded in 2006 A.D. to continue and expand upon its original work. Alan Watts was a notable proponent of the original movement at one point argueing: “To the extent that mystical experience conforms with the tradition of genuine religious involvement, and to the extent that psychedelics induce that experience, users are entitled to some constitutional protection.”

The British expat and Zen Buddhist philosopher Alan Watts (1915 – 1973 A.D.), who was a friend of Aldous Huxley (Watts hosted a weekly radio program [1953 – 1973 A.D.] in Berkeley which allowed him to gain a large following in the San Francisco Bay Area), in a paper entitled Psychedelics and Religious Experience originally appearing in the California Law Review, Vol. 56, No. 1, January 1968, pp.

74-85; at time of publication in 1968 A.D. Watts had in his own estimation been experimenting with phsychedlic drugs for “more than thirty years;” its illegalization put an end to his ‘legal’ experimentation) defended the practice by putting its study into a psychological context, since the whole freedom of religion angle wasn’t reaping the expected results: “The experiences resulting from the use of psychedelic drugs are often described in religious terms. They are therefore of interest to those like myself who, in the tradition of William James, are concerned with the psychology of religion.” And no small number of those individuals who in the words of Alan Watts were ‘concerned with the psychology of religion’ were CIA-commissioned psychiatrists and psychologists operating under MKULTRA auspices headed by a Doctor who was as we shall soon discover was a black magick sorcerer. As we learn from Wikipedia concerning the ‘Swedenborgian theologion’ Spiritist William James (1842 – 1910 A.D.) of whom Alan Watts references, who was in fact the founder of the American Society for Psychical Research (the ASPR is the British-associated American counterpart of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) in London): “During his Harvard years, James joined in philosophical discussions with Charles Peirce, Oliver Wendell Holmes (Holmes, Sr. was a Bohemian Club member), and Chauncey Wright that evolved into a lively group informally known as The Metaphysical Club in 1872 (a shortlived American version of the Metaphysical Society in Britain which included as members William Gladstone, Thomas Huxley [a relative of Alduous Huxley and Julian Huxley], Alfred Lord Tennyson and Arthur Balfour)…Among James’s students at Harvard University were such luminaries as Boris Sidis (a Jewish psychologist, he founded the New York State Psychopathic Institute and the Journal of Abnormal Psychology), Theodore Roosevelt (26th President of the United States, Royal Society inductee and Honorary member of the Bohemian Club!), George Santayana (Santayana was T.S. Elliot’s philosophy teacher at Harvard University!), W. E. B. Du Bois (as a member of the Princeton chapter of the NAACP, Albert Einstein was in correspondence with Du Bois), G. Stanley Hall (first president of the American Psychological Association (APA) and first president of Clark University. The APA’s ‘Division 32’ was tasked with the study of such phenomenom as altered states of consciousness, hypnosis, Shamanism, dissociation, and various other parapsychological subjects led by American psychologist Stanley Krippner, 330

[See Krippner, S., Honorton, C., & Ullman, M. (1973). An experiment in dream telepathy with “The Grateful Dead.” Journal of the American Society of Psychosomatic Dentistry and Medicine, 20, 9 - 17]. Krippner has co-authored a new book

just released entitled Demystifying Shamans and Their World: An Interdisciplinary Study (2011 A.D.) also serving as editor of Mysterious Minds: The Neurobiology of Psychics, Mediums and Extraordinary People (2010 A.D.). The Spiritist Movement and its associated magic practices is alive and well even today!), Ralph Barton Perry, Gertrude Stein (whose associates included Ezra Pound and Thornton Wilder), Horace Kallen (member of the American Philosophical Society [originally founded by Benjamin Franklin], the Society for Psychical Research [SPR], the Zionist Organization of America, and the Palestine Development Council), Morris Raphael Cohen, Walter Lippmann (as must be noted at this point, the Director of Central Intelligence, Allen Dulles, former director of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), authorized the CIA’s MKULTRA project. The CFR itself stemmed from a consortium of scholars assembled after World War I dubbed “The Inquiry” [this group was superseded by the American Commision to Negotiate Peace which included Skull and Bones members Clive Day and Charles Seymour.

Seymour was Yale University president, 1937 – 1951 A.D.]. “The Inquiry” group itself included Walter Lippmann and President Woodrow Wilson’s presidential advisor, Edward M. House. House, served on the League of Nations Commission on Mandates (think: British Mandate for Palestine) with Coefficients Club members [which club was one of the precursors of the Fabian Society] Lord Milner and Lord Robert Cecil), Alain Locke, C. I. Lewis (a prominent American Kantian philosopher), and Mary Calkins…(William) James interacted with a wide array of writers and scholars throughout his life, including his godfather Ralph Waldo Emerson (William James’ father was the American Swedenborgian theologian and Spiritist Henry James, Sr., a friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Emerson was also an associate of Freemason, Spiritist and Theosophical Society member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who has peppered occult themes throughout his Sherlock Holmes detective series), his godson William James Sidis, as well as Charles Sanders Peirce, Bertrand Russell (a Fabian Society member), Josiah Royce, Ernst Mach, John Dewey (Dewey served with Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann on the founding advisory board of the First Humanist Society of New York.

The First Humanist Society of New York was founded in 1929 A.D. by Charles Francis Potter whose advisory board also included Julian Huxley, the brother of Aldous Huxley), Walter Lippmann (see above), Mark Twain (Twain was a Thesophical Society/Bohemian Club member), Horatio Alger, Jr., Henri Bergson (Bergson’s sister was married to S.L. Macgregor Mathers, who was Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO member Aleister Crowley links to William James and Co. most notably through the German-Jewish Harvard University professor [and friend to Theodore Roosevelt] Hugo Muensterberg [variously Munsterberg]: “Muensterberg…is best known…as one of the fathers of modern psychology. William James helped entice him to Harvard in 1892 where, except for frequent visits to his beloved Germany, Muenster remained for the rest of his life…His writings include a pioneering work [The Photoplay (1916 A.D.)] on the influence of motion pictures on mass psychology [as 331

we learn from The Photoplay, this works on the premise of hypnotism: “The spellbound audience in a theater or in a picture house is certainly in a state of heightened suggestibility and is ready to receive suggestions” which are then of course subsequently introduced as the movie progresses: “…it is evident that such a penetrating influence must be fraught with dangers. The more vividly the impressions force themselves on the mind, the more easily must they become starting points for imitation and other motor responses. The sight of crime and of vice may force itself on the consciousness with disastrous results. The normal resistance breaks down and the moral balance, which would have been kept under the habitual stimuli of the narrow routine life, may be lost under the pressure of the realistic suggestions…(to a varying degree) the general spirit of righteousness, of honesty, of sexual cleanliness and modesty, may be weakened by the unbridled influence of plays of low moral standard.” This potential to influence the thinking of whole societies through the process of filmmaking is great as “millions are daily under the spell of the performances on the screen.” As Muensterberg therein concedes, “moral devastation” may occur when “scenes of vice or crime are shown with all their lure and glamour” and the repeated exposure to cinematic violence serves only to desensitize the mind to such depravities. Muensterberg’s theories in part explains Hollywood’s and various actor’s and screenwriter’s, director’s and producer’s [and even theatrical companies, plays and playwrite’s] connections to our Illuminati story; such professions also provide excellent cover stories for spies and smugglers of every stripe, assassins etc. involved in any of these vocations to be at any place at any given time and often provides them with access to high-placed individuals who are normally inaccessible to the masses and provides them as well with an all essential source of income and/or funding]…Muensterberg took a deep interest in paranormal phenomena…” – p.75 Secret Agent 666) and Sigmund Freud (whose student was Theosophical Society member, Spiritist and psychiatrist Carl Jung)…The investigation of mystical experience (Spiritism/Spiritualsim, Shamanism and the associated entheogens in particular) was constant throughout the life of James, leading him to experiment with chloral hydrate (1870) (also known as ‘knockout drops.’ A solution of the sedative chloral hydrate in alcohol was the essential ingredient of a Mickey Finn. Marilyn Monroe had chloral hydrate in her system at the time of her death. It was also one of the ingredients of the poisoned cool-aid concoction employed at the infamous Jonestown Massacre), amyl nitrite (1875) (a psychotropic entheogen. Psychotropic drugs such as amyl nitrite are commonly administered to psychiatric patients; this practice would later extend to include LSD as such a therapeutic drug), nitrous oxide (1882) (commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide was used as a recreational drug at ‘laughing gas parties’ beginning in 1799 A.D. particularly amongst the British upper class), and even peyote (1896)” (a common well known psychotropic entheogen). William James is a mutual link between all of these seemingly diverse magic practicing/Spiritist/Spiritualist groups. No doubt MKULTRA can trace its genesis through a direct link with William James and Company. (The following is included as it is essential in drawing associations, providing common links between seemingly unrelated individuals, groups and secret societies. Another notable link in our chain was Lady Ottoline: “The Lady Ottoline Violet Anne Morrell (16 June 1873 – 21 April 1938) was an English aristocrat and society hostess. Her patronage was influential in artistic and intellectual circles…Lady Ottoline remained a regular host to the adherents of the Bloomsbury Group, in

332

particular Virginia Woolf, and to many other artists and authors, who included (Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) WB Yeats, LP Hartley (friend of Aldous Huxley and Lord David Cecil), (and) T.S. Eliot (included in the Bloomsbury Group was economist John Maynard Keynes and philosopher Bertrand Russell. It was located noteably enough at Gordon Square, Bloomsbury, in central London, close to the British Museum, ground zero of Illuminati intrigues)…She was the inspiration for Mrs Bidlake in Aldous Huxley's Point Counter Point, for Hermione Roddice in D. H. Lawrence's Women in Love (deemed in its day to be indecent, licentious, and lewd, this book became the motivating factor for Justice Ford’s introduction of the Clean Books bill in the New York legislature [See Fifty Years Of Freethought, pp.243-4]), for Lady Caroline Bury in Graham Greene's It's a Battlefield, and for Lady Sybilline Quarrell in Alan Bennett's Forty Years On.” – Wikipedia: Lady Ottoline Morrell. No doubt Lady Ottoline played no small role in our saga. One notable group associated with the Fabian Society was The Fellowship of the New Life (for which assembly the Fabian Society was constituted as a political arm) founded in 1883 A.D. by the ScottishAmerican philosopher Thomas Davidson, to which was associated Edward Carpenter and George Bernard Shaw (Davidson was best known for his work with The Educational Alliance whose main purpose was to serve as a settlement house for Eastern European Jews immigrating to New York City). Edward Carpenter (29 August 1844 – 28 June 1929) (founding member of The Fellowship of the New Life) was instrumental in the foundation of the Fabian Society as well as the associated British Labour Party. Carpenter was a close friend of Humanist poet Walt Whitman [Whitman was a member of the anarchistic (read: Youth Movement) Locofocos group involved in the Flour Riot of 1837] and the Humanist Bengalese Hindu Brahmin Rabindranath Tagore, and carried out correspondences (an early form of what we know as ‘networking’) with many famous figures including (Theosophical Society president) Annie Besant, (the San Francisco-born dancer) Isadora Duncan, Havelock Ellis (Ellis applied scientific principles to the then groundbreaking study of human sexuality), Roger Fry (Fry was a Bloomsbury Group/Cambridge Apostles member. The Bloomsbury Group included Bertrand Russell, Leonard and Virginia Wolfe [in 1917 A.D. the Wolfes founded Hogarth Press, the publishing house of the Bloomsbury Group authors including T.S. Elliot and D.H. Lawrence, as well as the publisher of many works on psychiatry and psychology of the International Psycho-Analytical Institute such as the works of Freud (Freudian psychology holds religious belief to be a neurotic disorder), Reich, Jung [Freud and Jung were associated with the Tavistock Institute], as well as English translations of foreign literary works] and Bank of England director/Cambridge Apostle member/high-ranking government official John Meynard Keynes, the basis of whose teaching underlies Keynsian economics; in 1906 A.D. Fry was appointed Curator of Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York), Mahatma Gandhi (Indian independence leader), James Keir Hardie (Scottish Labour Party MP), J. K. Kinney, Jack London (Theosophical Society/Bohemian Club member), George Merrill (lifetime ‘companion’ of English poet and gay activist Edward Carpenter), (British Labour politician/activist) E. D. Morel, William Morris (an Oxford University attendee), E. R. Pease (founding member of the Fabian Society), John Ruskin (first Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford; founder of the Guild of St. George charitable trust), Olive Schreiner (South African pro-Boer writer), and Ramsey MacDonald, who would later become the first Labour Prime Minister in Britain). (Author’s Note: There also exists a Swedenborg Society (still in existence today) dedicated to the publishing and interpretations of the writings of Spiritist Emanuel Swedenborg, two of the founding members of which were a man named John Flaxman (1755–1826) and the other his friend, John Augustus Tulk (1756–1845). Of the Swedenborg Society we learn: “Two remarkable brothers (James John Garth Wilkinson and William Martin Wilkinson, original members of the later Theosophical Society. Note this association) began to take an important part in the (Swedenborg) Society’s affairs from the early 1840s. James John Garth Wilkinson (1812– 1899) was another physician, being noted for his later devotion to homoeopathy (“…inspired

by Emanuel Swedenborg…The vigour of his (Wilkinson’s) thought won admiration from

333

Henry James, Sr. and from Ralph Waldo Emerson, through whom he met (Emerson’s lifelong friend, the ‘Sage of Chelsea’) Thomas Carlyle (Carlyle authored On Heroes, HeroWorship, and the Heroic in History (1841 A.D.) and was a member of a literary circle which included Leigh Hunt and John Stuart Mill) and James Anthony Froude (Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford University); and his speculation further attracted Alfred, Lord Tennyson (a Cambridge Apostle), the Oliphants and Edward Maitland.” – Wikipedia. British MP/author Laurence Oliphant (member of the East India intelligence services and confidante of the Illuminati Freemason Lord Palmerston, his uncle James Oliphant was·chairman of the British East India Company. See pp.429-430 Treason in America), along with his wife and mother, was associated with the English immigrant and Swedenborgian Spiritualist/Universalist preacher and demon obsessed poet Thomas Lake Harris who in 1861 organized a Utopian Theosocialist commune called the Brotherhood of the New Life (a precursor of the later hippie communes; not to be confused with the Fellowship of the New Life even though ‘brotherhood’ and ‘fellowship’ are virtually synonymous) in New York, later moving part of the community to Santa Rosa in California in 1875 A.D. One of the members of Harris’ New York Universalist Church congregation was Horace “Go west, young man” Greely (See p.109 The Life and Work of Thomas Lake Harris by Arthur A. Cuthbert), owner of the New York Tribune newspaper [the central outlet for views espoused by the so-called and decidedly Freemasonic Young America Youth Movement. Today it has been reincarnated and is owned by the New World Communications (think: New World Order) corporation which is owned by the Unification Church] which featured Karl Marx and Friederick Engels [who co-authored The Communist Manifesto in 1848 A.D.] as foreign correspondents [Engels himself was a member of the radical Prussian left-wing revolutionary Young Hegelians Youth Movement group. Both Marx and Engels attended the mutinous Die Freien/Berlin meetings of the Young Hegelians. The New York Tribune it would seem was a hotbed of Carboneri/Freemasonic Youth Movement activities; they typically work both sides of the aisle. Greeley was a presidential candidate but was defeated by Ulysses S. Grant for the presidency of the United States in 1872 A.D.]. Thomas Lake Harris propounded the FairyFaith preaching of Fay Angels, Fairie magic and Fairyland bejewelled in a quasi-Christian setting and he himself claimed to be in actual communication with these angels (Ibid pp.3233,92; to which I reply with a Notable Quote for to register disdain in the self-same words of Thomas Lake Harris himself: “Jesus Christ! Crackey…”!); much of Harris’ books and poetry are said to have been the product of automatic-writing whose source were the Fay Angels he so devoutly professed. Fairies and Fay angels are folk-loric representations of fallen angels [like Azazel and his band of fallen comrades, fairies are said to dwell within the earth]. During the mid-1840s Harris worked for a while with Andrew Jackson Davis, a pioneering Spiritualist mesmeristic medium of the American Spiritualism Movement known as "The Poughkeepsie Seer." After his encounter with Davis, Harris: “…started forth as a missionary to preach far and wide this proven reality: that the spirits of those who had lived on Earth did communicate from above, and were actually communicating, with men still living in the flesh” (Ibid p.97; in actual fact, they are the deceptive fallen angels pretending to be the spirits of the dead). As outlined in Wikipedia, Harris was an early science-fiction writer/Ancient Astronaut Theory proponent whose writings were said to have influenced Theosophical Society-founder H. P. Blavatsky. Edward Maitland himself was a close associate of the President of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society in England, Anna Kingsford (they even co-authorered at least one book and this of an occult nature). Kingsford herself was an associate of French ceremonial magician and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Eliphas Levi, leading member of a lodge of the Theosophical Society in France. Kingsford later left the Theosophical Society to form the Hermetic Society. This society was known for giving lectures, featuring as lecturers the likes of the occultist S. L. MacGregor Mathers and the ceremonial magician William Westcott. Wescott, a student of Kabala, who in addition to being a Master Mason, was Supreme Magus of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (the SRIA; the Rosicrucian Society of England). S. L. MacGregor Mathers (related by marriage to

334

Henri Bergson; Henri Bergson was an associate of William James, brother to novelist Henry James both of whom were the sons of Henry James Sr.), likewise a Master Mason, gained admittance to the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, eventually being appointed Junior Substitute Magus. William Wescott, with S. L. MacGregor Mathers, would go on to found the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the most celebrated member of which was the English ceremonial magician and British spy Aleister Crowley). He (Wilkinson) translated a number of Swedenborg’s scientific works and wrote many books of his own on medical, social and theological topics and a ‘biographical sketch’ of Swedenborg, first published in 1849. He is best known for his close friendship with Henry James senior, also a devotee of Swedenborg and father of William James the philosopher and Henry James the novelist. But he was acquainted with many other writers on both sides of the Atlantic, including Thomas Carlyle, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Robert Browning, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Coventry Patmore, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and George MacDonald. One of his early books (1839) was the first letter-press edition of (William) Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience (Blake, an artist as well as mystical poet, provided illustrations for authors and their works including John Milton’s Paradise Lost, John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress, and Dante’s The Divine Comedy).” Indeed: “In 1910 the (Swedenborgian) Society celebrated its centenary. The chief event commemorating this was an International Swedenborg Congress held in the King’s Hall, Holborn in July that year under the patronage of King Gustav V of Sweden. Learned papers on Swedenborg’s achievements as a scientist, philosopher and theologian were delivered to an audience of four hundred over four days by leading scholars from different fields. An impressive list of forty-six Vice-Presidents included the names of Henry James, long a resident in England but not yet a British citizen, his fellow American novelist William Dean Howells (“In 1860 he [Howells] visited Boston and met with American writers James Thomas Fields, James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. [Honorary Bohemian Grove member], Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Through these contacts, he also became a personal friend to many other writers, including Henry Adams, William James, Henry James and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.” – Wikipedia: William Dean Howells), and the Zen Buddhist scholar D. T. Suzuki, who had begun to translate some of Swedenborg’s works into Japanese (Suzuki married Radcliffe grad Beatrice Erskine Lane who had multiple contacts with the Bahá'í Faith both in America and in Japan. Suzuki later joined the Theosophical Society Adyar. In 1951 A.D., Suzuki began teaching seminars on Japanese culture, aesthetics, and Zen Buddhism at Columbia University in New York. Among the students are many influential artists and intellectuals, including Allen Ginsberg. Alan Watts had also been introduced to D.T. Suzuki by Christmas Humphrey’s of the London Buddhist Lodge).” – The Swedenborg Society: A Very Short History by Richard Lines). And hence was born Beat Zen, along with the associated intermingling with the psychedelic entheogenic experience [Alan Watts defines Zen as “Chinese Humanism” and describes ‘Beat Zen’ as being “a revolt from the culture and social order.” Watts describes the ‘beat’ mentality as being “a younger generation’s nonparticipation in ‘the American Way of Life,’ a revolt which does not seek to change the existing order but simply turns away from it to find the significance of life in subjective experience rather then objective achievement,” by living a “life of undisciplined whimsy” (See Beat Zen, Square Zen, and Zen by Alan Watts, Chicago Review, 1958 A.D. (Alan Watts’ Zen Buddhism was also the basis for former-Scientologist Werner Erhard’s [real name John Rosenberg] mysterious EST [Erhard Seminars Training] self-improvement system founded in 1971 A.D. which had close links to the CIA-associated Esalen Institute and SRI’s CIA-sponsored remote-viewing project.

EST was the fruit of Erhard’s extensive studies with Alan Watts during the mid 1960s). In other words, do as thy wilt shall be the whole of the law, or as Leary would say, “Tune in, Turn on, Drop out.” One Suzuki associate of note is the Jewish Zen Budhhist-enthusiast (and later proponent of the teachings of the guru Paramahansa Yogananda, founder of the SelfRealization Fellowship in Hollywood) J.D. Salinger, a member of an American Intelligence unit during WWII, American author of The Catcher in the Rye, a highly controversial book at

335

its release often subject to censure (like Suzuki, Salinger married a Radcliffe student named Claire Douglas). Salinger is also known to have associations with Navy Intelligence agent L. Ron Hubbard. (Notable amongst the usually exclusive outsider-adverse Boston Brahmin group were the high-degree Freemason and U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), T.S. Eliot, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. and Jr. and McGeorge Bundy, National Security Advisor to John F. Kennedy. Considering these associations, it is no wonder they shy away from outsiders, though Kennedy’s father Joseph managed to ingraciate himself to members of this group)

Alan Watts at the age of 16 was the secretary of Christmas Humphries’ London Buddhist Lodge (later renamed the Buddhist Society), founded through Humphries’ connections with Nicholas Roerich (Roerich connects to President Franklin D. Roosevelt through his association with Roosevelt’s Vice-President Henry A. Wallace whom Wallace addresses as his Guru: “During the 1940 presidential election, a series of letters that Wallace had written in the 1930s to Nicholas Roerich was uncovered by the Republicans. Wallace addressed Roerich as "Dear Guru" and signed all of the letters as "G" for Galahad, the name Roerich had assigned him. Wallace assured Roerich that he awaited "the breaking of the New Day" when the people of "Northern Shambhalla" (read: Azazel and his angels)…would create an era of peace and plenty.” – Wikipedia: Henry A. Wallace).** (reputedly a Russian intelligence [double?] agent, though definitely a member of the Theosophical Society), Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and Theosophical Society author Alice Bailey, Theosophists with which Watts likewise also associated. Watts, it must be noted, is also connected to Joseph Campbell. By Watts’ own account, he had “experimented with five of the principal psychedelics: LSD-25, mescaline, psilocybin, dimethyl-tryptamine (DMT), and cannabis” (how cannabis makes the list I do not profess to know), and “in 1959, I tried LSD-25 again with Drs. Sterling Bunnell and Michael Agron, who were then associated with the Langley-Porter Clinic” (the Langley Porter Psychiatric Clinic at the University of California, at Berkley, in San Francisco, the same University with which Ken Kesey, an MKULTRA test subject, was associated. This was a hotbed for MKULTRA experimentation). Alan Watts reported that with Sandoz LSD-25 he could “move with ease into the state of ‘cosmic consciousness,’” which included the feeling of an “awareness of relativity,” a “link in an infinite hierarchy of processes and beings, ranging from molecules through bacteria and insects to human beings, and, maybe, to angels and gods…From this it is but a short step to the realization that all forms of life and being are simply variations on a single theme: we are all in fact one being doing the same thing in as many different ways as possible…At root, you are the Godhead, for God is all that there is.” Nevertheless, Watt surmises, LSD induced “mystical experiences…can very easily be an experience in which you have to test your soul against all the devils in hell.” (** as is germain to our discussion, Nicholas Roerich on p.196 of Altai-Himalaya: A Travel Diary describes an encounter with a UFO as his group traveled in the Himalaya Mountains) As we learn from Wikipedia: Counterculture of the 1960s: “Beginning in 1959, (Ken) Kesey had volunteered as a research subject for medical trials (involving the use of hallucinogens) financed by the CIA’s MKULTRA project” (they were attempting, to quote the Wiccan, to “induce a clairvoyant state” through the use of psychedelic drugs as part of many millenniums old Shamanistic traditions. The New 336

Forest coven of witches, of which Gerald B. Gardner was a member, used as its hallucinogenic drug of choice a common British entheogenic fungi known as the Magic Mushroom for reasons I should not need to explain. For more information concerning the use of drugs to heighten the mystical experience, see Chapter 10 of Gerald Gardner, Witch, by Idries Shah, 1960 A.D.). Ken Kesey also associated with Sonny Barger and the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club (they were present at a number of his Acid Test parties, if not in fact all), the group which provided security for The Grateful Dead at its ill-fated 1969 A.D. Altamont Free Concert (dubbed “Woodstock West.” Singer Don McLean alludes to the fact that the murder of a black man named Meredith Hunter at the Altamont Free Concert by a member of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club as the Rolling Stone’s wailed out Sympathy for the Devil (which song incorporates a Santerian voodoo magic beat [See p. 46 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley]) was part of some contrived Satanic “sacrificial rite” in his song American Pie circa 1971 A.D. (with the performance corresponding to the time of the Winter Solstice, Mick Jagger even donned what has been described as a psychedelic sorcerer’s robe for this performance [Ibid p.50,51]). The date chosen for this magic concert ritual (December 6, 1969 A.D.) was set to coincide with the date Aleister Crowley and Victor Neuberg first established contact with the abysmal demon Choronzon (who is the fallen angel Azazel) during a homoerotic magic ritual in an arid North African desert. And what with music and dancing being the staples they are of arcane magic rituals, and seeing as so many rock bands exhibit such a magical background, one cannot help but to believe that perhaps such concerts are specifically designed as 20th Century versions of arcane magic rituals. As Lyndon LaRouche once wrote: “Rock [music] is essentially a revival of the ancient Dionysic, Bacchic rituals” to which might be added the words of Canadian psychologist Dr. Walter Wright: “Rock has an incessant throbbing beat, the same beat that people in primitive cultures use in their demonic rites and ceremonies.” As Anton LaVey himself concedes: “Music can inspire people to murder or violence.”). Ken Kesey himself was the author best known for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962 A.D.), a novel turned Hollywood movie based on his experiences during the time of his employment at the Veteran’s Hospital at Menlo Park in the San Francisco Bay area of California, the very place where he (as well as Alan Watts) had participated in neuropharmaceutical research studies into the effects of psychedelic drugs upon the psyche being carried out at the time under MKULTRA auspices. This project was introduced by high-ranking magic-practicing members of the Central Intelligence Agency. Notably enough: “The idea [of getting “spaced out on LSD”] was to try to hit that beam and that mode that would enable you to communicate with beings on other planets, other galaxies…” – p. 312 The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe). Manson Family-man Tex Watson it is interesting to note during his murder trial reported on several occasions during LSD use of “talking to space people who would come down out of the sky and you could see their space ships.”

The CIA’s MKULTRA project was overseen by a CalTech Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) named Sidney Gottlieb (a chemist in the ancient alchemistic tradition who specialized in poisons), also known as the “Black Sorcerer,” no doubt in deference to the black magick practices with which he was familiar. As related by Admiral Stansfield Turner (Director of Central Intelligence) during the 1977 A.D. 337

Senate Hearing on MKULTRA, MKULTRA experimentation projects included the study of and I quote, “Aspects of magicians’ art useful in covert operations” (aka Ars Magica, Latin for ‘the art of magic’; apparently ‘MKULTRA: Subproject 19’ concentrated on the creation of what they termed to be a ‘Magic Manual.’ The OSS/CIA in fact has a history of employing occultists such as Aleister Crowley and stage magicians as spies) and also included, in violation of the Nuremberg Code for medical ethics, the “covert testing on unwitting U.S. citizens” involving the use of LSD in places including San Francisco, CA, which, I should think, would explain the whole Haight-Ashbury scene where LSD flowed so freely, and so often, free (As a matter of fact: “LSD was one of the materials tested in the MKULTRA program. The final phase of LSD testing involved surreptitious administration to unwitting nonvolunteer subjects in normal life settings by undercover officers of the Bureau of Narcotics acting for the CIA.” - I.G. Report on MKULTRA, 1963. Haight-Ashbury was one of these ‘normal life settings.’ One of the foremost of the aforementioned undercover officers from the Bureau of Narcotics acting for the CIA was George Hunter White, alias Morgan Hall. White worked with Captain Al Hubbard, a highranking OSS officer and the Black Sorcerer Dr. Sidney Gotlieb in this respect under MKULTRA. Al Hubbard was himself a friend of Aldous Huxley; it was Al Hubbard and Hubbard’s associate Dr. Humphry Osmond, a British psychiatrist who was working with LSD and mescaline at Weyburn Hospital in Saskatchewan, Canada who had first introduced Huxley to LSD in 1953 A.D. And interestingly enough, Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard often tripped together during joint LSD experiences). According to Turner, institutions involved in MKULTRA sanctioned activities included “44 colleges or universities, 15 research foundations or chemical or pharmaceutical companies and the like, 12 hospitals or clinics (in addition to those associated with universities), and 3 penal institutions…We also know now that some unwitting testing took place on criminal sexual psychopaths confined at a State hospital (as and I quote: “Certain of the anticipated effects involved mental functions which precluded the use of mental defectives”)…Most of the people and institutions involved are not aware of (Central Intelligence) Agency (CIA) sponsorship (“The annual grants of funds to these specialists were made under ostensible research foundation auspices, thereby concealing the CIA’s interest from the specialist’s institution.”). These studies also included the administration of and I quote “Mickey Finns” and “knockout drops.” MKULTRA documents it was revealed during Congressional hearings were later ordered destroyed on the premise that: “Public disclosure of some aspects of MKULTRA activity could induce serious adverse reaction in U.S. public opinion” (as well as invite persecution under the Nuremberg Code!). Indubitably, let’s just say that wins the award for ‘Understatement of the Year.’

In the story of psychedelics as a tool to achieve Cosmic Consciousness in a bid to unlock the latent potential of the enigmatic human mind, interesting characters emerge such as CIA-associated U.S. Army Captain turned psychiatrist: “Alfred Matthew Hubbard (Al Hubbard)…an early proponent for the drug LSD during the 1950s. He is reputed to have been the "Johnny Appleseed of LSD" (also known as the original Captain Trips and from whom Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead revealingly enough derives his name) and the first person to emphasize LSD’s 338

potential as a visionary or transcendental drug. According to Todd Brendan Fahey, Hubbard introduced more than 6,000 people to LSD, including scientists, politicians, intelligence officials, diplomats, and church figures (“Those said to have participated in the LSD sessions include a prime minister, assistants to heads of state, UN representatives, and members of the British parliament…Hubbard promoted his cause with indefatigable zeal, crisscrossing North America and Europe, giving LSD to anyone who would stand still. ‘People heard about it, and they wanted to try it,’ he explained. During the 1950s and early 1960s he turned on thousands of people from all walks of life—policemen, statesmen, captains of industry, church figures, scientists. ‘They all thought it was the most marvelous thing,’ he stated.” – Acid Dreams. “Hubbard's secret connections allowed him to expose over 6,000 people to LSD before it was effectively banned in '66. He shared the sacrament with a prominent Monsignor of the Catholic Church in North America, explored the roots of alcoholism with AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) founder Bill Wilson, and stormed the pearly gates with Aldous Huxley (in a session that resulted in the psychedelic tome Heaven and Hell), as well as supplying most of the Beverly Hills psychiatrists, who, in turn, turned on actors Cary Grant, James Coburn, Jack Nicholson (Nicholson notably enough starred in the film-adaptation of Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Coocoo’s Nest which Kesey penned while high on LSD), novelist Anais Nin (Nin was author Henry Miller’s lover during the early 1930s and would later appear in Kenneth Anger’s 1954 A.D. film Inaugeration of the Pleasure Dome), and filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (which begs the question, was the mysterious HAL named as a tribute to AL H.? Most likely yes). Al Hubbard had been conducting LSD sessions at the University of Vancouver in Canada).” - Who Was "Captain" Al Hubbard? Fahey, 2002 A.D.)…According to some accounts, Hubbard worked at various times for the Canadian Special Services, the United States Justice Department, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Office of Strategic Services (the forerunner to the CIA).” – Wikipedia: Alfred Matthew Hubbard. Such is the way with the shadowy Intelligence world: “Do as thy wilt shall be the whole of the law.” Hubbard associated with many pioneering psychiatrists involved in psychedelic experimentation in the 1950s and ’60s included amongst whom was one Dr. Oscar Janiger: “Dr. Janiger was part of a small circle of scientists and literary figures in the Los Angeles area who began to use psychedelics at social gatherings in the mid-1950s. In addition to (Aldous) Huxley and Gerald Heard, those who participated in these drug inspired intellectual discussions included philosopher Alan Watts…This informal group was the first to use LSD socially rather than clinically. Captain Al Hubbard, the wandering shaman (Hubbard was called a “witch doctor.” See p.49 of Acid Dreams) who visited southern California on a regular basis, supplied the group with various chemicals.” – Acid Dreams p.48 (Another clinician of note involved with LSD was Dr. Timothy Leary. Likely another was the Jewish London-born Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn ceremonial magician Dr. Israel Regardie, a Radio City resident, who after a stint in the army during WWII taught psychiatry at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. Psychiatry, psychology and magic are inextricably entwined [in fact, parts of magic fall into the realm of behavioral psychology]; the same is true with the Intelligence world.

In An Interview With Israel Regardie p.33, Regardie recommends aspiring magicians undergo at least 100 hours of “psychotherapy in order to prepare them for the great stresses and strains that the Great Work [a 339

“magical procedure” as Regardie defines it] imposes…”

Even Carl Jung institutionalized pantheism with his introduction of ‘archetypes’ of the ‘collective unconscious.’ In fact, Jung’s brand of psychiatry represents the institutionalization of the prevalent magic practices of his day, particularly as represented by the teachings of the Theosophical Society in which he was a member, and, by extension, its inner circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in which Aleister Crowley and Crowley’s secretary Israel Regardie played a part (Jung’s particular psychiatric system was, as we learn from The Red Book, a product of automatic-writing revealed to Jung psychically in part by the wise spirit guide Philemon in the form of an elderly winged man [essentially a winged Chronos/Azazel]). The Illuminative introduction from Switzerland at this time of the entheogenic drug LSD provided Jungian psychiatry a completely Shamanistic tinge). “By the early 1960s…a large number of people had already heard about LSD. Some were eager to try the drug…A certain momentum had been generated—thanks in no small part to the CIA—and it quickly reached a point where the government could no longer contain it. Black market acid began to turn up on the street to meet the growing demand.” – Acid Dreams p.80. And the black market supply of LSD was being illicitly fed largely in part by the same member of the CIA who spawned its widespread use at the first. As illuminated by Tom Wolfe in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test: “Timothy Leary (who admittedly had CIA associations), (the CIAs MKULTRA guinea pig Ken Kesey’s associate Richard) Alpert (who was Timothy Leary’s partner in crime), and a few chemists like (the CIA/MKULTRA-associated) Al Hubbard (both Leary and Alpert were known Hubbard associates) and the incognito "Dr. Spaulding" (there was a psychiatrist named Spaulding mentioned in MKULTRA Senate hearings) had been pumping LSD out into the hip circuit (to the hippies) with a truly messianic conviction. LSD, peyote, mescaline, morning-glory seeds (all known entheogenic substances which induce a psychedelic experience) were becoming the secret new thing in the hip life.” In fact, during the 1960s: “Thousands of kids were moving into San Francisco for a life based on LSD and the psychedelic thing” (fueled largely in part by yet another Life© magazine article) as word began to spread. Concerning Ken Kesey’s Acid Test Parties: “The first Acid Test featured (Jerry) Garcia’s fledgling band (The Greatful Dead), generous distribution of LSD to people taking it knowingly or unknowingly...there were always magical things happening. Voices coming out of things that weren’t plugged in...The second Acid Test included Richard Alpert (a.k.a. Baba Ram Dass) and people from ‘the Berkeley psychedelic scene, which was pretty well developed by that time because of the Cabale coffeehouse (a folk music coffeehouse in Berkeley, CA; the word Cabale is derived from the word Cabal/Cabbala) in the old days, the mescaline scene and all that.’” – New World Encyclopedia: Garcia, Jerry (Author’s Note: it was said MKULTRA included three distinct phases: “The research and development of materials to be used for altering human behavior consisted of three phases: first, the search for materials suitable for study [including the identification of entheogens used in various Shamanistic practices]; second, laboratory testing on voluntary human subjects in various types of institutions [as exemplified

by Ken Kesey’s participation in voluntary LSD clinical studies, as well as LSD experimentation carried out by Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert]; third, the application of MKULTRA materials in normal life settings [as ememplified by the actions of CIA alchemist Al Hubbard and associates Leary and Alpert who had been pumping LSD out into the hip circuit in San Francisco, CA].” - I.G. Report on MKULTRA, 1963, pp. 1-2). While the once surreptitious private administration by the CIA of LSD to unwitting human subjects may have

340

been as testified officially ‘halted’ in 1963 A.D., it was generally administered to the witting public thereafter. (Al Hubbard, who had claimed as a child to have been “visited by a pair of angels,” purportedly being perennially “guided by other-worldly forces” (See The Original Captain Trips, Fahey, 1991 A.D.), would later work at the MKULTRA-connected Stanford Research Institute under the Church-of-Scientology-founder-L.-Ron-Hubbard-connected toplevel Church of Scientology-member and Stanford University Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Harold E. Puthoff, who in the 70s and 80s directed a CIA-funded program at the Stanford Univeristy-allied SRI/SRI International (which has always had close links to the U.S. Department of Defense as well as the U.S. Intelligence community) to investigate paranormal abilities (he also worked under the auspices of NASA and Jet Propulsion Laboratories, which was associated with CalTech). It was noted: “Though the most prominently discussed aspect of MKULTRA is the CIA’s LSD work, the program included many other unusual investigations relating to the science of mind control. CIA researchers probed the potential of numerous parapsychological phenomena, including hypnosis, telepathy, precognition, photokinesis and ‘remote viewing’ (which will later bring us to The Monroe Institute) (the CIA was interested in the possibilities of ‘psychic spying’).” Basically they were studying the technological capabilities of the alien rebel angels! It must also be noted MKULTRA documents uncovered by the Church Committee describe the use of a for-profit research facility, no doubt a facility the likes of Stanford Research Institute, set and setting). A CalTech/Ginsberg/Leary/Alpert link exists in the likes of the psychonautic psychoanalyst Dr. John C. Lilly who combined dolphin communication with isolation tanks (he is cited as developing the first isolation tank) and hallucinogens such as the NMDA receptor antagonist Ketamine in a bid to attain the holy grail of cosmic consciousness which is godhead. Lilly was associated with SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and was among the group of scientists who formulated the Drake Equation used to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations present in our Milky Way galaxy.

In any case, LSD was ‘officially’ first: “Introduced by Sandoz Laboratories (located in the Illuminati bastion of Switzerland), with trade-name Delysid, as a drug with various psychiatric uses in 1947. LSD quickly became a therapeutic agent that appeared to show great promise. In the 1950s the CIA thought it might be applicable to mind control and chemical warfare;; the agency’s MKULTRA research program propagated the drug among young servicemen and students (students the likes of Robert P. Smith). The subsequent recreational use of the drug by youth culture in the Western world during the 1960s led to a political firestorm that resulted in its prohibition. Currently, a number of organizations— including the Beckley Foundation (a charitable foundation one of whose professors included Dr. Albert Hofmann, the Sandoz Labs alchemist who first discovered LSD), MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies; a non-profit which reportedly participates in community events like music festivals such as Burning Man. The MAPS Bulletin has featured articles submitted by Richard Alpert, Ralph Metzner and Abbie Hoffman), Heffter Research Institute and the Albert Hofmann Foundation (CIA employee Frank Barron, founding board member of the Harvard Psilocybin Project involving Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner and Richard Alpert, is an Advisory Board Member of the AHF; he was a onetime employee of the Esalen Institute** [with which Ken Kesey was also associated], and involved in experiments associated with the CIA/MKULTRA)—exist to fund, encourage and coordinate research into the medicinal and spiritual uses of LSD and related psychedelics.” – Wikipedia: Lysergic acid diethylamide). Now who doesn’t believe in reincarnation? Certainly MKULTRA had been reincarnated. (** “Esalen Institute was founded by Michael Murphy and Dick Price in 1962 with the goal of exploring work in the humanities and sciences that furthers the full realization of what Aldous Huxley called "human potential"… Murphy and Price were classmates at Stanford University [on which grounds Ken Kesey once lived, and where often came to visit him Leary’s friend Richard Alpert] in the late 1940s and early 1950s, although they did not meet until later at the

341

suggestion of Frederic Spiegelberg [Spiegelberg was a friend of Carl Jung as well as Alan Watts], a Stanford professor of comparative religion and Indic studies, with whom they had both studied. In the time since leaving Stanford, Price had attended Harvard University to continue studying psychology, and [at one point in time] lived in San Francisco with Alan Watts…” – Wikipedia: Esalen Institute). As per an insightful travel website: “Founded by Michael Murphy and Dick Price in 1962, the Esalen Institute is a center for humanistic alternative education. It is well-known for its blend of Eastern and Western philosophies (read: magic practices) as well as its experimental workshops. The institute attracts philosophers (often code for practitioners of magic), psychologists, artists, and religious thinkers.” It is still in existence today. Early Esalen Institute workshop leaders of note included B.F. Skinner (Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology at Harvard University from 1958 – 1974 A.D.; worked on the U.S. Navy secretive Project Pidgeon), Timothy Leary (with CIA associations) and his associate Richard Alpert (Richard Alpert’s father, George Alpert, was one of the founders of Brandeis Univeristy, which founding included Albert Einstein and prominent Zionist rabbi Dr. Israel Goldstein), Arnold Toynbee (Toynbee worked for the Political Intelligence Department of the British Foreign Office during World War I; a forerunner of SIS/MI6), Joseph Banks Rhyne (parapsycholgist; ESP researcher), U.S. (al)chemist Linus Pauling (someone has to whip up the LSD) and Foundation for Shamanic Studies founder Michael Harner (anthropologist Michael Harner, widely acknowledged as the world's foremost authority on Shamanism, famously enough studied the Shamanistic practices of the Conibo Indians in the Peruvian Amazon during the 1960s). Process Church members were also known to head such workshops at Esalen, and MKULTRA-volunteer Ken Kesey likewise associated with the Esalen Institute. The Esalen Institute. MKULTRA? Check, Check, and Check! Nothing, it must be noted, ever happens in a vacuum.

Another (al)chemist early involved in government-sanctioned LSD research (which as he will later explain was directly coordinated with the research being carried out by the Society for Psychical Research, the American version of which likewise conducted research as we have learned through the efforts of William James and his entheogenic experimentations!) was a Al Hubbard-disciple named Willis Harman: “Willis Harman (August 16, 1918 – January 30, 1997) was an American engineer, social scientist, academic, futurist, writer, and visionary (read: New World Order theorist). He is best remembered for his work with (the CIA-funded) SRI International (at Stanford University), for being president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in (Palo Alto,) California, and for his work in raising consciousness within the international business community (code for turning the international businesss community on to LSD)…Harman taught for several years at the University of Florida before joining the Stanford faculty in 1952. He eventually left Stanford to become a senior social scientist at SRI International where he initiated a futures research program, exploring the national and global future. In this capacity he worked on long-term strategic planning and policy analysis for an assortment of corporations, government agencies, and international organizations (no doubt all CIA/NSA related). He then served as president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences from 1975 until his death in 1997. During the 1970s, he was appointed a regent of the University of California by then governor Jerry Brown.” – Wikipedia: Willis Harman. “The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) was co-founded in 1973 by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell and investor Paul N. Temple to encourage and conduct research on human potentials. Institute programs include ‘extended human capacities," "integral health and healing," and "emerging worldviews.’ … This research includes topics such as spontaneous remission, meditation, consciousness, 342

alternative healing practices (code for Shamanic healing practices), consciousnessbased healthcare, spirituality, human potential, psychic abilities and survival of consciousness after bodily death.” - Wikipedia: The Institute of Noetic Sciences. This simply represented a continuation/institutionalization of the well established Spiritualist Movement (particularly such aspects as had been studied in MKULTRA subprojects) and its associated studies and magic practices and was directly related to the ongoing efforts of the Society for Psychical Research. As Willis Harman himself once explained in an interview: “I made one trip to Europe and got aquainted with The Society for Psychical Research (the SPR, the visit to which proved to be a lifechanging experience for him, just as it had also been for Gerald B. Gardner), that was back in the days of Sir George Joy and Rosalyn Heywood. Celia Green was just a youngster coming in at that time. So in the next half dozen years or so I got somewhat involved in psychical research and somewhat involved in the psychedelic research (MKULTRA). That sort of blew up in a way in the 1960's! So I shifted over to doing research on the future.” (Author’s Note: Intelligence Agencies, just as one may expect of spirits, may know everything about you, are privy to information you would think nobody else knows. Sometimes they may represent one and the same entity, which may have something to do with the fact spies are sometimes called ‘spooks.’ Do not be fooled thereby).

Indeed, as we learn from Acid Dreams: “(Willis) Harman was turned on to LSD in the late 1950S by Captain Al Hubbard, the legendary superspy, who took a special interest in his new convert (they were actually working together under MKULTRA). Shortly thereafter Harmon became vice-president of the International Federation for Advanced Studies (IFAS), an organization devoted to exploring the therapeutic and problem solving potential of LSD. IFAS was the brainchild of Hubbard…Adverse publicity forced IFAS to disband in 1965, whereupon Harmon, who considered himself a disciple of the Captain, became director of the Educational Policy Research Center at SRI. In October 1968 he invited Hubbard, then living in semiretirement in British Columbia, to join SRI as a part-time ‘special investigative agent.’” SRI was testing LSD as a possible agent for behavioral management, a study with which Charles Manson may have been involved. The Haight-Ashbury scene itself had at this time become a field test study for LSD as a tool for social control and behavioral modification.

What started Willis Harman along his illicit LSD pathway was a 1954 A.D. seminar he attended in Palo Alto called the Sequoia Seminar on LSD featuring Gearald Heard as lecturer. Another man who attended a number of Gerald Heard’s seminars was a psychonaut named Myron Stolaroff: ““…in 1954 Gerald Heard gave a lecture in Palo Alto to an organization called the Sequoia Seminar. Sitting in the audience was an engineer named Myron Stolaroff. Stolaroff was in charge of longrange planning at Ampex, which was one of the first of the high-technology companies to emerge in the valleys south of San Francisco (later known as Silicon Valley). Stolaroff had heard Gerald (Heard) speak several times before and considered him one of the world's outstanding mystics (“Heard…placed great stress on extrasensory perception and other aspects of parapsychology, frequently citing parapsychological studies as evidence for his belief that consciousness, or the mind, had a reality of its own outside the body…Heard believed that people were still evolving, that the next stage of evolution lay in the development of human consciousness…” – pp.70,71 Saving the Earth by Gelber and Cook, 1990 A.D.). So when 343

Heard began rhapsodizing about the effects of certain mind-altering drugs, Stolaroff was predictably upset. "I thought you went to all these places anyway," he asked.

"Why do you take this?" And Heard had replied, "Oh, but it just opens the doors in so many ways to so many vast dimensions." Whether he admitted it to himself or not, Myron Stolaroff was hooked, and a few months later, in Los Angeles on business, he visited Heard and had another long discussion about these new mind drugs. At one point (Al) Hubbard's name had come up, and Heard had implied that if Stolaroff wished to try any of these substances, Al (Hubbard) was the man to guide him through the experience. So Stolaroff had written Hubbard and one day Al had turned up on the doorstep, bounding into Myron's office with a tank of carbogen, a "fun-loving guy" who "radiated an enormous energy field." After the formal introductions were over, Hubbard had suggested that Stolaroff take a few lungfuls of the carbogen, and twenty or thirty breaths later the director of long-range planning was abreacting all over his office. Stolaroff, who had been skeptical of a lot of Gerald's claims, was convinced. He arranged to visit Vancouver at the earliest opportunity for one of Hubbard's patented LSD sessions—by 1959 Hubbard was claiming he had conducted seventeen hundred LSD sessions. It was a terrible experience. During those hours in Hubbard's apartment, Stolaroff relived his birth, the actual physical birth, gasping and writhing for what felt like days, until he broke through to the world, which actually smelled of ether. Although it was a torturous few hours, Myron emerged from the LSD womb convinced that many of his personal eccentricities and neuroses could be traced back to the trauma of his birth (This theory traces back to L. Ron Hubbard. According to L. Ron Hubbard’s sentinel psychiatric work ‘Dianetics’ [‘the modern science of mental health’] the trauma of birth produces a psychotic ‘norn,’ the earliest of a number of aberrations to be cured on the road to good mental health which explains the importance placed on reliving one’s child birth during LSD thereapeutic sessions [See p.81 ‘Dianetics’ by L.Ron Hubbard in Astounding Science Fiction, Vol. 45, No. 3, May, 1950]). This was not a radical possibility as far as psychoanalysis was concerned; Otto Rank, one of Freud's last disciples, had explored the effects of birth on the emerging psyche in numerous articles. But it would have taken psychoanalysis years to attain the level that LSD had reached in one climactic rush. Stolaroff returned to Ampex convinced that LSD "was the greatest discovery that man had ever made." Myron Stolaroff was a good example. Stolaroff had been in charge of long-range planning at Ampex, one of the first of the big electronics firms to settle south of the Bay Area, when he had been bitten by the psychedelic bug. Together with Hubbard he had tried to interest Ampex's management in a program that would use LSD to solve all kinds of corporate problems, interpersonal problems, design problems, long-range planning problems. But the plan had foundered on Al’s penchant for Christian mysticism.

Stolaroff didn't let go, though: he started holding weekly LSD sessions for some of Ampex's more adventurous engineers; Hubbard came down from Canada one weekend and took them all to a remote cabin in the Sierras where he guided them (during an LSD session) through the kind of ontological earthquake only Al could manufacture. The senior management of Ampex had been horrified. Having gotten to know Hubbard through rather extraordinary circumstances, it didn't seem at all irrational for them to be worrying, "What if this nutball drives our best men crazy?"

So there had been sighs of relief when Stolaroff decided to leave Ampex and set up his own nonprofit psychedelic research center in Menlo Park (coincidentally enough, 344

or more likely incidentally enough, Ken Kesey was involved with MKULTRA LSD experimentations in Menlo Park), California—the International Foundation for Advanced Study (the IFAS of which Al Hubbard’s friend Willis Harman was vicepresident).” Not to be confused with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, the academic home of Albert Einstein (as well as other prominent Jewish scholars who had likewise fled Nazi Germany) with which T.S. Elliot and J. Robert Oppenheimer (Director, 1947-1966 A.D.) were also associated.

Concerning the Palo Alto-based Sequoia Seminar: “Sequoia Seminar (a cult-like ‘proto-sect’ with a decidedly apocalyptic bent) was one of a stream of sources for what would become the "human potential" movement of the 1960s.

Their stress of religious values kept them from total involvement, but for several years in the late 1950s they were the place where some of the California activists in the human potential movement got their start. One was Del Carlson. Carlson was a Marine Corps veteran who had been attracted to a Records study group at San Jose State College in 1947 (AMORC is headquartered in San Jose) and who had participated actively in Students Concerned (a ten-week seminar hosted by the Rathbuns in the late 1940s). He stayed with the movement after the demise of Students Concerned and was, for a dozen years, one of the mainstays of the group. A high school art teacher, he had his summers free and devoted them to Sequoia Seminar. He was the group's registrar, business manager, and leader of art therapy sessions until 1962, co-leader of the first formal seminar ever held at Esalen (at what was to later become the Esalen Institute) in 1962, when it was still called Slate's Hot Springs. Even more important, both to Sequoia Seminar and the human potential movement, was Willis Harman. An engineering professor at Stanford, Harman had attended a study group led by Harry (Rathbun) and then had gone to a Sequoia Seminar in 1954 (at which time Harman attended a lecture given by Gerald Heard) (Rathbun and his wife Emilia had as early as 1942 A.D. attended seminars on Eastern mysticism at Heard’s Trabuco College; previously: “The Rathbuns had read some of Heard's work and attended a lecture in San Francisco where they met him in 1937, the first year he was in this country.” Emilia had been a member of the Oxford Group Movement/later called Moral Re-Armament, one of the most famous members of which was the black magic adept Nazi SS General Heinrick Himmler; the leader of this Group, Frank N. Buchman, was one of Himmler’s invited guests to Adolf Hitler’s Nuremberg Rally). He had not expected the heavy emphasis on meditation, introspection, and self-exposure, but he found that his engineer’s rational world view was ‘permanently destroyed’ as a result of his experience there. He embarked on an extended period of self-education in mysticism and psychic phenomena and moved into the inner circle of Sequoia Seminar. Harman had been very impressed by Gerald Heard's lectures on his experience with mescaline; he also made contact with Myron Stolaroff, one of the original American experimenters with LSD, who was also briefly involved with Sequoia Seminar. On November 16, 1956, eight of the Sequoia Seminar leadership group (the inner circle of Sequoia Seminar) accompanied Harman to the home of a physician member of the movement, where Harman took LSD for the first time. In subsequent years almost every member of the Sequoia Seminar inner leadership group experimented with LSD on a number of occasions. Many of the drug sessions were led by Betty Eisner who was very interested in the psychotherapeutic possibilities of low doses of the then legal hallucinogen. She and Harman disagreed strongly, however, on how the drug should 345

be used since he preferred larger doses that would provide the user with mystical experiences, rather than the milder effects that Eisner sought. Even though LSD was still a non-controlled substance and, therefore, legal to use, Sequoia Seminar employed it very cautiously. It was never distributed to anyone other than group leaders, and their sessions were carefully planned and supervised, usually with the presence of one of the planning group members who was a medical doctor. There appear to have been few if any "bad trips," and the drug-induced mystical experiences and psychotherapeutic sessions are usually remembered positively by those who partook of them. Experimentation with LSD stopped after 1959 because most of those involved felt there was nothing more to be gained from continued use and perhaps also because of a difficult confrontation between Emilia and Betty Eisner that may have involved the use of the drug. Those, like Harman, who wished to pursue further interests in the drug left Sequoia Seminar and became active in other groups such as Esalen (the Esalen Institute founded by Timothy Leary associates Murphy and Price) and the International Foundation for Internal Freedom (Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert founded the International Foundation for Internal Freedom in 1962 A.D. in Cambridge, Massachusetts).” – pp.83-85 Saving the Earth by Gelber and Cook, 1990 A.D. The Human Potential Movement is based on the magical premise that the individual will is all powerful. In the late 1950s Gerald Heard began to deliver bi-weekly lectures at 33° Freemason Manly P. Hall’s Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, CA. As is true with so many other fads, from California LSD went nationwide.

The 1960s was an age of wide-spread social dishevelment. Cracks appeared.

Established American norms (in particular the traditional family-unit and the Christian religious establishment) began to disassociate and crumble. Change was in the air, flowers in the hair. And the CIA was out of control: “The Watts (Acid) Test in L.A. (February 12, 1966 A.D., sponsored by the Merry Pranksters), coming on top of the Trips Festival (January 21—23, 1966 A.D.) in San Francisco (a mass acid experience/Acid Test party sponsored by author Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters;; ‘trip’/’tripping’ refers to LSD/an LSD experience), had caused the fastrising psychedelic thing to explode right out of the underground (where it had long been a part of the underground boho/Hippie lifestyle) in a way nobody (with the possible exception of the CIA) had dreamed of. (Timothy) Leary and (Richard) Alpert and their experiments had had plenty of publicity, but that seemed (with an emphasis on ‘seemed’) like a fairly isolated thing with a couple of Harvard docs at the helm and being pretty solemn-faced and esoteric about it, all in all. This new San Francisco-L.A. LSD thing, with wacked-out kids and delirious rock 'n' roll, made it seem like the dread LSD had caught on like an infection among the youth—which, in fact, it had. Very few realized that it had all emanated from one electric source: Kesey and the Merry Pranksters (under, I might add, MKULTRA auspices with LSD obtained from a CIA Intelligence agent).” – The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test p.455-6.

At any rate, in the day of the Merry Prankster: “It was during this public prankish period (specifically in the period after the founding of the Church of Satan in San Francisco, CA [Kenneth Anger was present at this inaugurating ceremony.

When Anton LaVey shaved his head at this point it was in keeping with ancient Yezidi devil-worshipping traditions signifying his magc adept-ship] which has been 346

described as “the ‘religion du jour’ of the celebrity set in the ’60s”, and the first Satanic wedding ceremony performed by Anton LaVey in 1966 A.D.) that Anton held his Topless Witches’ Review (a show he organized called the ‘Witches’ Sabbat’ featuring dancers provided by the Gerard Theatrical Agency, a talent agency located at 8949 Sunset Boulevard [as a point of reference the Whisky a Go-Go night club where Manson Family-member Tex Watson was a regualar patron was located on the very same side of the very same street at 8901 Sunset Boulevard] which specialized in supplying topless

go-go dancers to and I quote “seedy clubs” and with which Mansonite Bobby Beausoleil** at one time held a songwriting contract;; it was Beausoleil’s job to drive the girls to the clubs [a full-fledged pimping operation if I ever did see one]; Beausoleil was a friend of Church of Satan member Kenneth Anger [at one time the two of them even lived together in San Francisco] who was a friend of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey [even LaVey and Anger lived with each other for a time]. No doubt LaVey and Beausoleil also knew each other. A number of Manson Family members, including Susan Atkins, were employed by the Gerald Theatrical Agency as topless dancers [and, might I add, prostitutes, and likely some of the MKULTRA variety. A number of them also appeared in pornographic movies]. Of an interesting note, Susan Atkins lived for a time in an artist’s community in Mendocino, CA, being part of a Manson-affiliated group identified in court records as ‘The Witches of Mendocino.’ Mendocino is a popular weekend getaway spot for San Francisco Bay Area residents) at a San Francisco nightspot in North Beach (North Beach was a low-rent Beatnik/Hippie haven. When rents began to rise, many, like The Grateful Dead band-members themselves relocated to HaightAshbury at a time when white flight to the suburbs became the order of the day.

Among those at Haight-Ashbury was Mr. LSD himself, the Senator’s son and fortunate one Augustus Owsley Stanley III). One of the girls he (Anton LaVey) hired to emerge menacingly from her coffin as a vampire was Susan Atkins (Manson Family-member Susan Atkins had more than just a passing association with Anton LaVey. She had been to his house [the so-called Black House] which served as the Church of Satan no small number of times. Jack Gerard, owner of the Gerard Theatrical Agency and his employee Bobby Beausoleil, it must be noted, both starred in the mondo horrible 1967 A.D. movie-release entitled Mondo Hollywood [described by Vanity© Magazine as a “flippy, trippy psychedelic guide to Hollywood”] along with Jay Sebring [who was also an associate of if not a fullfledged member of LaVey’s Church of Satan; Sammy Davis Jr., a client of Jay Sebring, describes a ritualistic Satanic orgy he attended led by Jay Sebring in a Vice© Magazine interview/article entitled: Sammy Devil, Jr.: The Candy Man Was A Satanist by Jake Austen)] who was later murdered by the Manson Family of which Bobby Beausoleil and Susan Atkins were prominent members (as Anton LaVey himself explains it during an interview, his: “open seminars facilitated the meeting of Bobby [Beausoleil] and Susan Atkins.” [See p.66 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley]). This movie also featured an appearance by Dr. Richard Alpert directing one of his infamous psychedelic LSD ‘group therapy’ sessions). Atkins was not yet involved with Charles Manson and it would be two years until she committed the murders in Sharon Tate’s Benedict Canyon home (in 1969 A.D.), licking the blood from her fingers after the deed. But in her post-conversion expose, Child of Satan, Child of God, Atkins indicts LaVey as the catalyst for her downfall.

Anton remembers her as just another Haight Street burnout, perhaps a bit 347

more drug-befuddled than some. ‘She’d beg off rehearsals, saying she had a fever of 108°. But in the end she made a fine vampire.’” (LaVey refers of course not to Susan’s topless vampiric dancing performance in one of his publicly staged witches sabbatts with which she had been involved (See Child of Satan, Child of God p.66; Atkins met LaVey in 1967 A.D.), but to Susan Atkin’s confession of tasting Sharon Tate’s blood at the time of Sharon Tate’s murder. In black magic, it is believed that by drinking the blood of one’s victims, one thereby receives one’s victims’ vitality; if said victim is a fellow practitioner of magic, one was in such a way able to steal their magic powers. Sharon Tate, like Susan Atkins, was one such witch, a fellow practitioner of magic. No doubt this she learned this from the lectures of Anton LaVey who often lectured on the subject of vampires) – The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey (Anton LaVey’s family, like that of artist Andy Warhol’s, hailed in fact from the very vampiric and gypsie populated region called Transylvania. As the old proverbial staff-rhyme reveals: “Wherever gypsies go, there the witches are, we know.” – p.2 Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling by Charles G. Leland. In both cases this was in fact a truism) (**Pertinent Quote: “One Crowley devotee…was [Thelemite] Robert K. ‘Bobby’ Beausoleil, lead guitar and sitar player for the San Francisco rock band ‘Magic Powerhouse of Oz’…assembled by avant-garde filmmaker and fellow Crowleyite Kenneth Anger, to provide the soundtrack for Anger’s film project, ‘Lucifer Rising’ which involved Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.” – Blood on the Altar by Craig Heimbichner. In all probability, Charles Manson was such a Thelemite in his group as well).

Susan Atkins had found herself unfortunately enough right smack dab in the middle of the North Beach/Haight-Ashbury hippie commune LSD magic scene. This scene included not only Anton LaVey but also Charlie Manson himself. According to Susan Atkins, Manson was the leader of “an ordinary hippie commune (a “‘brotherhood’ as he used to put it,” typical Theosophical Society lingo), preaching love and music and drugs (drugs including peyote and LSD, shades of Leary, Kesey, Alpert, Crowley and MKULTRA)…In 1967, Charles Manson could talk new-age religion (code for the teachings of the Theosophical Society). Charles Manson could talk old religion (code for magic and witchcraft). Charles Manson knew eastern religious thought (code for Buddhism). Charles Manson had the vision and intensity necessary to hold the attention of young minds. He understood psychology. He understood nihilism (the revolutionary philosophy of the Youth Movements/Anarchists). He gave the appearance of having forsaken his worldly possessions and dropped out of the rat-race…playing the part of the pacifist hippie guru…” - The Myth of ‘Helter Skelter’. As Atkins herself elucidates: “Charles Manson had everything. At one time he had almost thirty young girls taking care of him. He hob-nobbed with the Beach Boys and attended Hollywood parties with musicians and movie stars (including the Anton LaVey-associated OTO member Kenneth Anger [Anger was the Aleister Crowley-initiate Jack Parsons’ ex-neighbor], as well as members of The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young and many, many others, including a group of youthful Hollywood actors who called themselves Young Turks [the Young Turks were Youth Movement members] including Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper [Hopper’s father was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge], particulary at the Log Cabin located in Laurel Canyon situated next to Benedict Canyon where Roman Polanski’s wife Sharon Tate was murdered). He lived for free off the generosity of soft-hearted people who believed 348

in him—like Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys—and off the hard work of the young girls who took him in. He never once had a job in the three years he was out of jail.

Free drugs. Free sex. Famous people around him. He lived a dream life. He was offered everything America could offer a single man in the late 1960’s. And he had it in the most hedonistic city in the country – Los Angeles.” And the world gets smaller and smaller. (Author’ Note: There are those who believe that the Manson murders in California and the David Berkowitz “Son of Sam” murders in New York were ultimately related as part of a nationwide network in the United States of Satanic magic-practicing cults and that it reaches even into the upper echelons of society (though I would very much say it is in truth world-wide in scope). Indeed: “Maury Terry is an award-winning investigative journalist whose years of research resulted in The Ultimate Evil: An Investigation of American’s Most Dangerous Satanic Cult, which linked Manson and ‘Son of Sam’ killer Berkowitz to a satanic networking (of the Process Church of the Final Judment, also known as The Process, a group with which he was associated, members of which came to visit Charles Manson in prison; in Haight-Ashbury, Manson’s crash pad at 636 Cole was a mere two blocks away from the original San Francisco home of The Process Church of the Final Judgment which was located at 407 Cole and boasted Rolling Stones band members as initiates. The Process (founded by ex-Scientologists) derives its name no doubt from the Church of Scientology’s system of auditing which L. Ron Hubbard he called ‘the process,’ which likely derived from the mystical paralyzing psychosomatic out-of-body experiences of J. Krishnamurti which he similarly dubbed ‘The Process,’ a state of mind which he took to be “a sign of his advancement on the occult path” [See p.85 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman]).

Arthur Lyons states in The Second Coming: Satanism in America: ‘Satanic cults are presently flourishing in possibly every major city in the United States and Europe...The United States probably harbors the fastest growing and most highlyorganized body of Satanists in the world.’” - Satanism and Witchcraft by Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John Weldon. Many are offshoots of Anton LaVey’s original Church of Satan. Temple of Set-founder Michael A. Aquino in his book The Church of Satan cites the example of Tom Creech, a regular attendee of Church of Satan Black Masses presided over by high-priest Anton LaVey. Creech, a convicted murderer, claims he was ordered to kill as part of a Satanic sacrifice. This seems to have been the order of the day, and was likely also the partly the case with Charlie Manson and Family. For more information see also Jerry Johnson’s The Edge of Evil: The Rise of Satanism in North America (1989); Mark I. Bubeck, The Satanic Revival (1991); Ted Schwarz and Duane Empey, Satanism (Zondervan, 1989); Arthur Lyons, Satan Wants You: The Cult of Devil Worship in America (1988); and Bob Larson’s Satanism (1989) (Notable Quote: “I’m convinced that our own nation is rapidly undergoing demonization.” — The Satanic Revival by Mark I. Bubeck, 1991 A.D. I’d say he’s probably right, and that it’s being perpetrated by the international Intelligence community. And that was twenty years ago back in the pre-Harry Potter© day).

Anton LaVey, whose parents had relocated to California from the gangster plagued streets of Chicago, himself has led an event-filled colorful life (one of LaVey’s uncle’s Las Vegas ‘business’ associates was Mafia mobster Bugsy Siegel) (Author’s Note: These were the days when the United States government had formed a secret partnership with a secret society known as the Mafia [founded of course in 349

the 1800s by that denizen of the British Museum Reading Room Giuseppe Mazzini] in order to carry out the CIA’s Executive Action program designed to root out unfriendly foreign [and quite possibly domestic] governmental leaders such as Communist dictator Fidel Castro [See ‘Operation Mongoose’] during the frigid days of the Cold War). As we learn from LaVey’s biography: “Through friends, he (Anton LaVey) became involved with militant Israeli groups, some of which were running guns to the newly emerged nation (of Israel) – organizations with names like Betar (the Betar Movement was a Youth Movement established in Latvia by Ze’ev Jabotinski in the finest Freemasonic tradition of Giuseppe Mazzini), Hashomer Hatzair (an Austro-Hungary Zionist Youth Movement also established

by Ze’ev Jabotinski. Ze’ev, also known as Vladimir Jabotinski, was a Jewish Russian Bolshevik who moved to Turkey in 1908 A.D. where he edited a newspaper named Young Turk, the propaganda mouthpiece of the Young Turks Youth Movement. It was a member of the Young Turks Youth Movement who assassinated the heir to the Austrian throne, the Archduke Ferdinand, this being the cataclyst cited as sparking World War I which would lead to the carefully orchestrated defeat of the declining Ottoman Empire, to the British Mandate of Palestine, the issuance of the Balfour Declaration, the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine and eventually to Israel’s independence. As a result of the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia pulled out of World War I which event played a contributing role in the defeat of Germany and its allies, a plan brilliantly Machiavellian in its scope), Poale Zion (the Jewish Social Democratic Labour Party), the Stern Gang (led by Yitzhak Shamir who became Prime Minister of Israel in 1983 A.D.), and Irgun” (this organization would eventually morph into Likud, the political party of current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Irgun members were incorporated into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at the start of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War which led to Israeli independence and statehood),** at one point meeting presumably during the course of the gun-running activities of which LaVey himself describes “Assaf Dayan, (Hollywood) actor son of Israel’s legendary Defense Minister Moshe Dayan” who “extended an invitation for me (Anton LaVey) to stay at his family home in Tel Aviv whenever I wished.” (**Author’s note: Gun-running activities involving elements of quasi-terrorist independence organizations and movements opposed to British colonial rule [including the Irish Republican Army and the Israeli Irgun] with the express intent of arming said elements were commonly run out of the state of California particularly from ports located on the American West Coast in the San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles areas. For a feel of the shadowy world in which many of these groups operated see Wikipedia: Christmas Day plot, the Annie Larsen affair and the Hindu-German conspiracy; groups which sought independence from England as a matter of course supported Germany during the war (Additionally, besides being an LSD guru, gun-running activities was a specialty of Al Hubbard: “As a high-level OSS officer, the Captain [Al Hubbard] directed an extremely sensitive covert operation that involved smuggling weapons and war material to Great Britain prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.” – Acid Dreams. Pearl Harbor was the catalyst for America’s entrance into World War II. Prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, America retained a neutral status and such gun-running activities violated America’s neautrality status codified by the Congressional Neutrality Acts of the 1930s). It would seem Anton LaVey and Co. (and members of such groups associated with the Indian Independence Movement, of which, it must be noted, the Theosophical Society was front and center) was allegedly more than probably less associated with such illicit activities which also incuded direct participation by known ‘mob’ elements (who already had had an established pipeline in

350

place from its illicit alcohol distribution network developed during the entire judicial and political corrupting Prohibition Era years (In fact, Al Hubbard himself had: “worked for the Treasury Department as a young man during the Capone days, busting moonshiners and gangsters who were smuggling liquor into the US from Canada. Apparently he was able to ingratiate himself with both sides during Prohibition, as he subsequently became deputy chief of security for the (mob-owned) Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas.” – Acid Dreams. He probably helped to stifle Capone’s competition. The Tropicana was most notably associated with mobsters Frank Costello, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel!). In fact W.B. Yeats, Theosophical Society member and Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was romantically involved with an Irish revolutionary and one-time Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member named Maude Gonne (1866-1953 A.D.) (Maude Gonne’s daughter, Iseault, had had a brief affair with Ezra Pound! Maude Gonne later married a man named John MacBride, an army vet who had led the Irish Transvaal Brigade against British troops during the Second Boer War. MacBride was a friend of Arthur Griffith, founder of Sinn Fein, political arm of the Irish Republican Army. Their son, the Nobel Peace Prize winner Seán MacBride, was Director of Intelligence for the Irish Republican Army, founder of Amnesty International, and eventually served as President of the General Assembly and AssistantSecretary General at the United Nations). In fact, W.B. Yeats was connected to the ‘Colmcille Branch of the Gaelic League,’ members of which more often than not were also members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (the Irish Republican Brotherhood was a successor organization of the Illuminati/Freemasonic Young Ireland movement of the 1840s which staged the so-called unsuccessful Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848, as part of a greater Youth Movement organized by Sicillian-Mafia founder and Freemasonic Chief of Political Action Giuseppe Mazzini in conjunction with Illuminati/Freemasonic British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston expressly formulated to destabilize unfriendly foreign governments, its modern day equivalent being the CIAs Executive Action), the Irish Republican Brotherhood being of course the precursor organization to the modern-day Irish Republican Army (IRA).

Crazy as it sounds, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Theosophical Society itself were used (amongst other organizations) as fronts for various revolutionary groups run by individuals Overshadowed by the rebel alien angels with whom they were through magic and Spiritualist activities in direct contact. It is quite the tangled web they weave and quite the tangled tale) (Helping to make sense of the seemingly bizarre Israel-Ireland partnership is The Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland: “The Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland, also known as the British Zionist Federation or simply the Zionist Federation (ZF), was established in 1899 to campaign for a permanent homeland for the Jewish people. The Zionist Federation is an umbrella organisation for the Zionist movement in the United Kingdom, representing more than 120 organisations, and over 50,000 affiliated members. In 1917, the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour communicated the Balfour Declaration to the leader of United Kingdom's Jewish community Lord Rothschild for transmission to the Zionist Federation…Among its aims and objectives…Support, co-ordinate and facilitate the work of all its affiliates nationwide, and to continue its commitment to the Zionist youth movements.” – Wikipedia: The Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland) (It is an interesting note to insert at this point as we learn from Craig Heimbichner in Blood on the Altar: “From October, 1948 until June, 1950, (Jack) Parsons transferred secret documents relating to US rocket and defense technology to the Israelis. He was caught by personnel from the Propulsion and Research Development Laboratory of Hughes Aircraft, but the US Attorney declined to prosecute Parsons for treason or espionage after the intervention of Freemason J. Edgar Hoover.”) (Notable Quote: “The occult underpinnings of the spy business should not be glossed over if we are attempting to understand historical world manipulation by secret societies, much less the real nature of UFO abductions. It may be interesting to note that many occultists channeling "alien" entities have had one foot in the occult camp, the other foot among spy agency contacts. Aleister Crowley was a "magickal" adept who functioned as a spy for the British, and—opinions differ—perhaps simultaneously for the Germans. During

351

his career as the world's foremost occultist of the time, Crowley claimed to be in contact with any number of alien beings, including gods of ancient Egypt, and to channel written material such as The Book of the Law, which he attributed to an extraterrestrial entity named Aiwass…A 1923 U.S. military intelligence report reveals that Aleister Crowley, as well as another famous occultist, Rudolph Steiner, the founder of the Blavatsky-esque Anthroposophy, were being investigated as the leaders of a New York occult group allegedly involved in "subversive Bolshevik activities." The report, written by a Norman Armond, goes so far as to suggest that the Russian Revolution may have been controlled by occult networks.

Armond states that Steiner and Crowley, through a holding company Steiner controlled, had been involved in an alliance with Lenin that had begun in 1909. Aleister Crowley is reported—whether reliably or not, I do not know—to have initiated "psychedelic guru" Aldous Huxley into drugs. While this connection may lie somewhat afield of what we are discussing, Huxley was the grandson of Thomas Huxley, a founder of the Rhodes Round Table, which was the base from which later well-known elitist control mechanisms such as the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Bilderbergers were launched. Aldous Huxley was raised in the "Children of the Sun" (note the Sun orientation), a school for children of Round Tablers, and was tutored at Oxford by H.G. Wells who, during World War I, was the director of British foreign intelligence, and as the author of books like The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution, the most influential mouthpiece of the Rhodes/Illuminist New World Order. During 1952 and 1953 secret meetings are reported to have taken place between CIA Director Allen Dulles, Ford Foundation Director Robert Hutchins, and Dr. Humphry Osmond, Huxley's friend and personal physician (another famous psychiatrical patient of Dr. Osmond was A.A.’s Bill Wilson). These meetings involved the funding by the Ford Foundation for a number of experimental research projects using LSD and mescaline (MKULTRA). Also of interest is the statement of Captain Al Hubbard that LSD had been discovered, years prior to the date of its reported discovery, by a group led by the aforementioned Rudolph Steiner, seeking to discover a metaphysical "Peace Pill." Huxley started a number of groups that, by furnishing LSD, mescaline, and settings for controlled trips, launched virtually all of the acid-occult missionaries of the 1960s, including Tim Leary, Ken Kesey, Richard Alpert (Baba Ram Dass), Gregory Bateson, and Alan Watts.” – Saucers of the Illuminati by Jim Keith, 2004 A.D.)

Anton LaVey at different points in time dated Hollywood bombshells Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield (Jayne Mansfield being as we learn from LaVey’s book entitled The Secret Life of a Satanist: “a full-fledged member of the Church of Satan” as well as “a consummate witch…adept at performing her own little Satanic rituals…To honor Jayne’s natural abilities as a Satanist, LaVey made her a Priestess of the Church of Satan, and presented her with a certificate declaring her position which she proudly displayed on her wall…”). LaVey once even performed a Satanic ritual on the 7th Anniversary nationally-acclaimed Johnny Carson Show. Could a conspiracy be more open? LaVey was even an associate of NASA-associated astronomer and ufoologist Jacques Vallee (Vallee was an astrophysicist/astronomer; he worked as a scientific adviser for the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Vallee also assisted Prof. J. Allen Hynek, the academic consultant on the Air Force’s Project Bluebook, and no doubt possessed a ‘top secret’ clearance). As LaVey himself opines: “Without us there would have been no counterculture.” And indeed, certainly without the Freemasons, the Theosophical Society and the CIA there would have been no 1960s counter-culture revolution in America! No doubt this magical tradition itself lives on at the great Bohemian Grove located in the San Fransico Bay Area, which, it would seem, is the modern fruition of Rudolph Steiner’s life-long dream of uniting all individual magic 352

practicing groups (represented by the Theosophical Society, the Rosicrucians, the Freemasons and Hermetic Orders as well as the many loosely organized independent groups and other individual practitioners of magic) into one vast occult international league, an International Bund (See Chapter 11 p.101 of Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D.). What we are witnessing today is the rise to positions of power as well as the economic-induced cohesion of these various secret occult groups and the enterprises their members control, political, economic, social and military (and most importanly quasi-military Intelligence organizations which work outside and contrary to the law). Witness the birth of the New World Order! Though it shall fall like a house of cards upon Jesus Christ’s return (Concerning the Bohemian Grove: “On August 18, 1904, [San Francisco born American author and Theosophical Society member] Jack London went with his close friend, the [American] poet George Sterling, to "Summer High Jinks" at the Bohemian Grove [San Francisco-born American historian and Bohemian Club member “Kevin Starr once wrote of London’s friend Sterling: ‘The uncrowned King of Bohemia (so his friends called him), Sterling had been at the center of every artistic circle in the San Francisco Bay area.’ Sterling joined the Bohemian Club and acted in their theatrical productions each summer at the Bohemian Grove. For the main Grove play in 1907, the club presented The Triumph of Bohemia, Sterling's verse drama depicting the battle between the "Spirit of Bohemia" and Mammon for the souls of the grove's woodsmen [as both represent Azazel, Azazel inevitably wins!]. Sterling also supplied lyric for the musical numbers at the 1918 Grove play…George Sterling once posed for an illustration by Adelaide Hanscom Leeson which appeared in a printing of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam…” – Wikipedia. Translated by Edward FitzGerald from manuscripts he found in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a national sensation when it was published in America, was published in collaboration with Ralph Waldo Emerson, an associate of emminent environmentalist/Bohemian Club member John Muir. Emerson can be traced back to the Theosophical Society and Annie Besant and Edward Maitland and through joint associations to known members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]. London was elected to honorary membership in the Bohemian Club and took part in many activities. Other noted members of the Bohemian Club during this time included [newsman] Ambrose Bierce [1842 – 1913 A.D.; he served in the Union army during the Civil War as well as during the post-war years. Bierce, who was George Sterling’s ‘mentor,’ lived in England from 1872 -1875, returning to the United States revealingly enough in the very same year H.P. Blavatsky made her appearance and began taking the East Coast by storm with the Theosophical Society in New York City [1875 A.D. was a momentous year in the history of the Great Work movement of the fallen angels, for: “This same year (1875 A.D.) that saw me (Annie Besant) launched on the world as a public advocate of Freethought (working with Charles Bradlaugh under the auspices of the Palladian Thomas Scott), saw also the founding of the Theosophical Society to which my Freethought was to lead me (and to which she would later attain to the presidency). I have often since thought with pleasure that at the very time I began lecturing in England, H.P. Blavatsky was at work in the United States, preparing the foundation on which in November, 1875, the Theosophical Society was to be raised.” - Annie Besant: An Autobiography]. Ambrose Bierce later became one of the columnists/editorialists featured in fellow Bohemian Club member/Bohemian Grove attendee William Randolph Hearst's newspaper [thereby employed from 1887-1906 A.D.], the San Francisco Examiner, one of the most prominent and influential among the writers and journalists of the West Coast [Bierce was an early horror fiction writer, and authored many books and short stories included in which was entitled The Devil’s Dictionary]. Bierce disappeared under mysterious circumstances in Mexico in association with the revolution therein, never to be heard from again [See Wikipedia: Ambrose Bierce]), John Muir [cofounder of the Sierra Club; Bohemian Grove attendee], Gelett Burgess [Bohemian Grove attendee “Frank Gelett Burgess (January 30, 1866 – September 18, 1951) was an artist, art

353

critic, poet, author, and humorist. An important figure in the San Francisco Bay Area literary renaissance of the 1890s, particularly through his iconoclastic little magazine, The Lark.”], and Frank Norris [Bohemian Grove attendee “Benjamin Franklin Norris, Jr., born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 5, 1870 – died October 25, 1902, in San Francisco, California, was an American novelist, during the Progressive Era”].” – Wikipedia. George Sterling himself was a close friend of Clark Ashton Smith who was “a member of the Lovecraft circle, (Smith's literary friendship with H. P. Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937), Smith remains second only to Lovecraft in general esteem and importance amongst contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales” – Wikipedia: Clark Ashton Smith. George Sterling, who was befriended and ‘mentored’ by Bohemian Club member Ambrose Bierce, was in turn a friend and ‘mentor’ to poet/environmentalist Robinson Jeffers [1887 – 1962 A.D.; yes, even the modern-day environmental movement was derived thereby—many socalled West Coast ‘tree-huggers’ are pagan practioners of magic. Jeffers himself was a friend of D.H. Lawrence [Lawrence was a friend of T.S. Elliot as well as Ezra Pound. Ezra Pound was friend of a woman named Eva Fowler, the daughter of Bohemian Club president Paul Neumann], D.H. Lawrence in turn was a friend of Aldous Huxley [Huxley was a friend of Timothy Leary; and Huxley can be traced to Bertrand Russell and company]; Huxley can in turn be traced to Aleister Crowley, who can be traced to the Church of Scientology-founder-L. Ron Hubbard-associated Jack Parsons [whose one-time business associate Frank Molina can be traced to J. Krishnamurti’s friend, Aldous Huxley’s bother Dr. Julian Huxley, DirectorGeneral of UNESCO], Parsons being the neighbor of Kenneth Anger, a close friend of Anton LaVey! So this is what LaVey means when he brags the counterculture would not have existed without ‘us’]; Jeffers of course as it turns out like many before and after once made the acquaintance of and was wholly inspired by J. Krishnamurti of Theosophical Society fame [interestingly enough, Jeffer’s poem ‘The Beaks of Eagles’ was made into a song by The Beach Boys, members of which practiced Transcendental Meditation. One notable member of The Beach Boys was Mike Love: “Love was one of the first pop musicians to become involved in the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, through his meeting with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. As a result he accompanied The Beatles, Donovan, Prudence Farrow (remember The Beatles song ‘Dear Prudence’? It was written about her), and (Rosemary’s Baby star) Mia Farrow (Mia Farrow was the former wife of Frank Sinatra and future UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador) on their famous trip to the guru's ashram at Rishikesh in India in early 1968.” – Wikipedia: Mike Love. I mention this only because The Beach Boys group keeps cropping up in the very thick of things. They also notably enough covered a song written by Charles Manson).

All San Francisco roads including that of the Bohemian Grove lead through the OTO, the Theosophical Society, and J. Krishnamurti himself! And many are the sideroads.

And if one cares to delve even deeper it extends to British military intelligence, American military intelligence, the CIA (which since setting into action the old Hegel ploy of “thesis, antithesis, synthesis” in the form of the Salvador Option has morphed into the unfettered behemoth known as the Department of Homeland Security), into the hallowed halls of the Pentagon, even extending into the vestibules of those denizens of democracy in Washington D.C. State secrets? Surreptitious presidential signing orders? Oh sunny day! Such is the realm of emperors and despots, not freedom-loving democracies, save those in the throes of their waning days.

Oddly enough, our story weaves its way from Conspiracy Theories through the pages of drug store dime novels and sci-fi pulp magazines, as well as across the Hollywood big-screen: “Flying saucer mythology took hold in a big way in the 1950s, wrapped in gaudy pulp covers and flashed on movie screens. Jack Parsons, the CalTech rocket pioneer and high priest of the OTO’s Agape Lodge in Pasadena (Pasadena was a haven for retired Eastern millionaires; the OTO also existed in New York City, where Crowley first settled upon his arrival in the U.S., as well as in Chicago, Illinois)—and one of the first Americans to report a UFO sighting—was addicted to science fiction (many science

354

fiction writers were members of Anton LaVey’s Order of the Trapezoid (established 1955 A.D.). Members of the Order of the Trapezoid** (also known as The Magic Circle) would later serve as the governing body of LaVey’s later creation, the Church of Satan (See The Church of Satan: A Brief History by Blanche Barton, 2003 A.D.). He (Parsons) regularly attended meetings of the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society (established 1934 A.D.; sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury joined in 1937 A.D. Aldous Huxley, who also wrote science fiction, was a friend of Ray Bradbury), where in 1945 the black (magick) adept (he took "the Oath of the Anti-Christ" in 1949) met Lt. Commander L. Ron Hubbard, who made "alien" visitations an integral part of a religious doctrine he called Scientology.” - The OTO and the CIA: Ordis Templis Intelligentis by Alex Constantine. Of an interesting note, Edward Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming Race (1871 A.D.) is cited as an early prototypical science fiction work, and it is noted Aldous Huxley bridged the gap between the formal literary establishment and the science-fiction scene with his novel entitled Brave New World (1932 A.D.). In fact, in the history of science-fiction Theosophical Society-members Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jack London are hailed as distinguished science-fiction writers. It is with these facts in mind that we discover that one of the most interesting recurring guests at Anton LaVey’s holiday parties (one such holiday party being his Halloween-themed Topless Witches Revue witches sabbat for example) was Forrest J. Ackerman (Ackerman was a good friend of Anton LaVey; it was Ackerman himself who first coined the term ‘sci-fi’), an early member of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (also known as the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society; Sci-fi fan and OTO high-priest/rocket scientist Jack Parsons was in regular attendance at these meetings. According to JPL archivist John Bluth, many science fiction people were frequent visitors to Parsons’ house [See p. 57 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.] where Parsons was known to hold OTO magic ceremonies in his attic. In fact, LaVey publicly notes his associations with known “Berkely Thelemites,” which are by definition OTO members, even having become familiarized with their beliefs. One of the “Berkely Thelemites” of which he speaks was former Hollywood child actor Kenneth Anger. LaVey had been attending meetings at the Berkeley lodge of the OTO since 1951 A.D. (the first man to graduate from Berkeley with a degree in magic was Isaac Bonewits who was briefly a member of the Church of Satan.

Archdruid Bonewits was the founder of ADF: “Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship, Inc. (otherwise known simply as ADF) is a non-profit religious organization dedicated to the study and further development of modern, Neo-druidism practice.” The associated annual Starwood Festival, a magic gathering/occult workshops/music fest which featured as speakers [amongst a wealth of Neopagan/Wiccan PhD. holders] the likes of which include(d) Dr. Timothy Leary, Dr. Ralph Metzner, Metzner-associate Terrence McKenna, Stanley Krippner, Wiccan Spiritist Raymond Buckland, Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters/Youth International Party (Yippies) member Paul Krassner, Nicki Scully [ex-wife of Rock Scully, former manager of The Grateful Dead], Aldous Huxley’s wife Laura Huxley, the duly recognized ‘Saint of Discordianism’ Robert Anton Wilson and Church of All Worlds co-founder Oberon Zell-Ravenheart [creator of the Harry Potter/Hogwarts-inspired online magic school called the Grey Scool of Wizardry].

The Church of All Worlds was created based on Robert A. Heinland’s occult sci-fi classic Stranger in a Strange Land) (**“In the 1960s Anton LaVey formed a group called the

Order of the Trapezoid, which later became the governing body of the Church of Satan. The group included: "The Baroness" Carin de Plessen, (Anton LaVey’s ‘mentor’) Dr. Cecil Nixon, (OTO member and former Jack Parson’s neighbor) Kenneth Anger, City Assessor Russell Wolden, Donald Werby, and Michael Harner.

According to the Church of Satan historiography, other LaVey associates from this time include noted Science Fiction and Horror writers Anthony Boucher, August Derleth, Robert Barbour Johnson, Reginald Bretnor, Emil Petaja, Stuart Palmer, Clark Ashton Smith, Forrest J. Ackerman, and Fritz Leiber Jr. The Church of Satan was established at the Black House in San Francisco, California, on Walpurgisnacht, 355

April 30, 1966, by Anton Szandor LaVey, who was the Church's High Priest until his death in 1997.” – Wikipedia: Church of Satan. As we learn from Church of Satan High-Priest Gavin Baddeley in his book entitled Lucifer Rising p.70: “The core of LaVey’s Magic Circle were an interesting diverse bunch. Policemen, lawyers and doctors mingled with European aristrocrats and property magnates (Church of Satan members included Hollywood entertainers; meanwhile across the pond: in the swinging 60s aristocrats hobnobbed with entertainers, politicians and Gangsters in London, one big happy family)…Prominent among members of LaVey’s Magic Circle was Kenneth Anger, who became a close friend, and horror and science fiction authors identified with the the pulp magazine Weird Tales…LaVey had been a long-time fan of Weird Tales.” As LaVey himself explains: “Many members of Lovecraft’s Weird Tales circle became friends or attended my seminars and meets [it was at one of these seminars at which Manson Family members Susan Atkins and Bobby Beausoleil met]. I saw Clark Ashton Smith on a regular basis…Then there was Fritz Leiber [son of Hollywood actor Fritz Leiber, Sr.] and [German-Jewish author] Robert Bloch [author of Psycho], and August Derleth, of course, who became Lovecraft’s champion after he died. He was involved with my magical meetings in the early days, back in ’65-’66…” – Ibid pp.76-7). Forrest J. Ackerman was one such attendee of LaVey’s Magic Circle meetings in San Francisco.

One famous Fortean Club founding member of note (several members of the Fortean Club’s San Francisco chapter became part of the Church of Satan’s inner circle) was a Jewish Academy Award-winning Hollywood screenwriter (whose credits included Gone with the Wind) named Ben Hecht: “From 1918 to 1919 Hecht served as war correspondent in Berlin for the Chicago Daily News. According to Siegel, "Besides being a war reporter, he was noted for being a tough crime reporter while also becoming known in Chicago literary circles."… In Chicago, he also met and befriended Maxwell Bodenheim, an American poet and novelist, known as the King of Greenwich Village Bohemians, and with whom he became a lifelong friend (“Bodenheim and Ben Hecht met in Chicago and became literary friends about 1912…Together they founded The Chicago Literary Times (1923–1924). The Chicago literary group also included Carl Sandburg, Theodore Dreiser, Edgar Lee Masters, Witter Bynner, Arthur Davison Ficke, Floyd Dell, Vachel Lindsay and Sherwood Anderson.” – Wikipedia: Maxwell Bodenheim)…Ben Hecht's activism began when he met Peter Bergson. Hecht

wrote in his book Perfidy that he used to be a scriptwriter until his meeting with Bergson, when he accidentally bumped into history - i.e. the burning need to do anything possible to save the doomed Jews of Europe (paraphrase from Perfidy).

After meeting Bergson, Hecht dedicated himself to working with his rescue group, and after the war ended he continued work for the establishment of the State of Israel. He wrote the screenplay for the Bergson Group’s production of A Flag is Born, which opened on September 5, 1946 at the Alvin Playhouse in New York City.

The play starred Marlon Brando and Paul Muni during its various productions. The proceeds from the play were used to purchase a ship that was renamed the S.S. Ben Hecht, which carried 900 refugees to Palestine in March, 1947. The British Navy captured the ship after it docked and sent 600 of its passengers to detention camps in Cyprus. The S.S. Ben Hecht later became the flagship of the Israeli Navy. Six months after the establishment of Israel by the United Nations, Bergson and Hecht officially dissolved the organization which produced the fund-raising play, followed 356

by a dinner in New York City where Menachem Begin appeared, saying, "I believe that my people, liberated and re-assembled in its country, will contribute its full share toward the progress of all mankind ... [and predicted] that all of Palestine eventually would be free and that peace and brotherhood would prevail among Arabs and Jews alike.” Thanks to his fund-raising, speeches, and jawboning, Sternlicht writes, "Ben Hecht did more to help Jewish refugees from the Holocaust and to ensure the survival of the nascent State of Israel than any other American Jew in the twentieth century." As much as anything, it was the abiding love of his Jewish parent and Rose Hecht that motivated the writer to become arguably "the most effective propagandist” … Underworld (Hecht’s 1927 A.D. screenplay) was the story of a petty hoodlum with political pull; it was based on a real Chicago gangster Hecht knew. "The film began the gangster film genre that became popular in the early 1930s.” – Wikipedia: Ben Hecht. Concerning Ben Hecht’s associate Peter Bergson: “Hillel Kook (Hebrew: ‫ קוק‬ ‫ הלל‬ , 24 July 1915 – 18 August 2001), also known as Peter Bergson (Hebrew: ‫)ברגסון פיטר‬, was a Revisionist Zionist activist, politician, and prominent member of the Irgun…Hillel Kook was born in Lithuania in 1915, the son of Rabbi Dov Kook, the younger brother of Abraham Isaac Kook, the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of the British Mandate in Palestine. In 1924, his family immigrated to Palestine, where his father became the first Chief Rabbi of Afula. Hillel Kook received a religious education in Afula and at the Religious Zionist Yeshiva Merkaz HaRav in Jerusalem and was an unregistered student of Jewish Studies at the Hebrew University. While there, he became a member of Sohba, or "Comradeship", a group of students who would later become prominent in the Revisionist movement, including (Commander in Chief of the Irgun) David Raziel and Avraham Stern (Stern was a leader of the militant Zionist group Lehi, also known as the Stern Gang.

Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey was associated with both of these groups.

Another Lehi leader named Yitzhak Shamir would later become Prime Minister of Israel in 1983 A.D.). Kook joined the pre-state Haganah militia in 1930 following widespread Arab riots. In 1931, Kook helped found the Irgun, a group of militant Haganah dissidents, and fought with them in Palestine through most of the 1930s. He served as a post commander in 1936, and eventually became a member of the Irgun General Headquarters. In 1937 Kook began his career as an international spokesperson for the Irgun and Revisionist Zionism. He first went to Poland, where he was involved in fundraising and establishing Irgun cells in Eastern Europe. It was there that he met the founder of the Revisionist movement, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, and became friends with his son Ari. At the founders' request, Kook traveled to the United States with Jabotinsky in 1940, where he soon served as the head of the Irgun and revisionist mission in America, following the elder's death in August. This assignment was clandestine, and Kook publicly denied he was affiliated with the Irgun many times while in America. While in America, Kook led a group of Irgun activists under the pseudonym "Peter Bergson", supposedly to avoid embarrassing his family (particularly his famous uncle Abraham Isaac) (the reknowned Torah scholar and Kabbalist Abraham Isaac Kook) with his political activities. The name "Bergson Group" or "Bergsonites" eventually became used to refer to all the members of Kook's immediate circle. The Bergson Group was composed of a hardcore cadre of ten Irgun activists from Europe, America and Palestine, including Aryeh Ben-Eliezer, Yitzhak Ben-Ami, Alexander Rafaeli, Shmuel Merlin, and Ari Jabotinsky (the son of Ze'ev Jabotinsky). The Bergson Group was closely involved 357

with various Jewish and Zionist advocacy groups, such as the American Friends for a Jewish Palestine (the son of the founder of this group, J Street executive director Jeremy Ben-Ami, served as U.S. President Bill Clinton’s Deputy Domestic Policy Adviser) and the Organizing Committee of Illegal Immigration. The group also founded some separate initiatives of its own, specifically the Committee for a Jewish Army of Stateless and Palestinian Jews, whose goal was the formation of an Allied fighting force of stateless and Palestinian Jews. Some credit the later formation of the Jewish Brigade, a British unit of Palestinian Jews, with Kook's activism. Two American members of the Bergson Group were author and screenwriter Ben Hecht and cartoonist Arthur Szyk. There were many others who actively supported the "Bergson Group", for example a number of the best known people on Broadway and Hollywood, probably due to Ben Hecht's contacts… In 1947, the Bergson Group had purchased a ship originally intended to carry new immigrants to Palestine, but, perhaps partially due to (Menachem) Begin's influence, was eventually used to ship arms.” – Wikipedia: Hillel Kook. The efforts of the Bergson Group did much to save countless numbers of Jews from suffering horrid deaths at the hands of the Nazis in German concentration camps.

Anton LaVey, a fan of horror and science fiction stories, had been in correspondence with Jack Parsons since the late 1940s (See Black Sun, Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity by Goodrick-Clark), and as previously noted, Kenneth Anger lived next door to Jack Parsons as a child. As we learn from Wikipedia, at one point: “(Forest J.) Ackerman invited (sci-fi writer Aldous Huxley’s friend) Ray Bradbury to attend the Los Angeles Chapter of the Science Fiction League, then meeting weekly at Clifton's Cafeteria** in downtown Los Angeles. The club changed its name to the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society during the period it was meeting at the restaurant…Among the writers frequenting the club were (Laurel Canyon resident) Robert A. Heinlein (a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, a friend of Jack Parsons, Heinlein, wrote a book entitled Waldo about a society in which all the magick arts have gained scientific acceptance having become a part of everybody’s daily lives, and his book Stranger in a Strange Land was the first sci-fi novel to reach the New York Times best-seller list and is considered to be a countercultural classic. Heinlein was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge and one of the preeminent sci-fi writers of his time and a lifelong member of the International Fortean Organization (IFO); the Anton LaVeyassociated John A. Keel was also a member of the IFO. Tellingly enough: “Ed Sanders has written, in The Family, that the book ‘helped provide a theoretical basis for Manson’s family.’ Charlie frequently used (Stranger in a) Strange Land terminology when addressing his flock and he named his first Family-born son Valentine Michael Manson, in honor of the book’s lead character” (See pp.32-33 The Family by Ed Sanders). – Inside the LC), Emil Petaja (a friend of H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury;; “As chairman of the Golden Gate Futurians – an informal club for writers and fans – Petaja hosted meetings for friends and colleagues at his home in the Castro neighborhood [neighboring on the Haight-Ashbury disctrict] of San Francisco. Among the regular attendees were local noted authors like Fritz Leiber (considered to be one of the fathers of the Sword and Sorcery fantasy genre), Avram Davidson (member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America) and 358

E. Hoffmann Price (a Buddhist who collaborated with H. P. Lovecraft [Lovecraft’s writings abound with Theosophical elements] on Through the Gates of the Silver Key; Price was a friend of Clark Ashton Smith, a member of the “Lovecraft Circle” and friend of Theosophical Society/Bohemian Grove-member Jack London’s friend, George Sterling, the Bohemian Club member known as the Uncrowned King of Bohemia!) [And, as it turns out, Anton LaVey was also a personal friend of Clark Ashton Smith! See Anton Szandor LaVey: A Biographical Sketch by Magus Peter H. Gilmore, © 2003)]. Writers and editors who might be visiting from out of town – such as (Futurians co-founder) Donald Wollheim (editor of Avon Books, which published works of authors such as H.P. Lovecraft and C.S. Lewis [it was the Avon Books publishing house which published Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible in 1969 A.D.]. Later served as publisher for Ace Books, who published J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy), or Harlan Ellison – would also attend and there, have a chance to meet local figures like the Satanist Anton LaVey or the film maker Kenneth Anger. Petaja enjoyed the company of other writers and artists, and was acquainted with a number of individuals who lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, such as Warren Hinkle (his upstairs neighbor), Anthony Boucher (one-time San Francisco Chronicle employee), Frank M. Robinson, Poul Anderson (member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America), Philip K. Dick and Robert A. Heinlein.” - Wikipedia), Fredric Brown, Henry Kuttner (Kuttner was known for his literary prose and worked in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. They met through their association with the "Lovecraft Circle", a group of writers and fans who corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft. Kuttner was also the friend of Clark Ashton Smith, a friend of Theosophical Society/Bohemian Grove-member Jack London’s friend George Sterling, the Bohemian Club member known as the Uncrowned King of Bohemia!), Leigh Brackett (Bracket worked on the screenplay for George Lucas’ The Empire Strikes Back), and Jack Williamson (Williamson was one of the people who “…went to Parsons’ house for one of the afternoon meetings of fans and writers that Parsons sponsored every week.” - Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.).

Bradbury often attended meetings with his friend Ray Harryhausen; the two Rays had been introduced to each other by Ackerman. With $90 from Ackerman, Bradbury launched a fanzine, Futuria Fantasia, in 1939…He (Ackerman) knew most of the writers of science fiction in the first half of the twentieth-century. As a literary agent, he represented some 200 writers, and he served as agent of record for many long lost authors, thereby allowing their work to be reprinted in anthologies…Ackerman was credited with nurturing and even inspiring the careers of several early contemporaries like (Aldous Huxley’s friend) Ray Bradbury, (Ray Bradbury’s lifelong friend) Ray Harryhausen, Charles Beaumont (“Beaumont wrote many scripts for the Twilight Zone, including an adaptation of his own short story, "The Howling Man" [which included a character who it turns out in the story was the devil himself], starring (the Greenwich Village born) John Carradine (a member of the Hollywood Hellfire Club consisting of the Bundy Drive Boys including W.C. Fields, Gene Fowler, John Barrymore, John Carradine, Jack LaRue and John Decker).” –Wikipedia; it was in Greenwich Village itself where Aleister Crowley: “...appeared in New York announcing himself to be the “Beast of the Apocalypse” and as such adopted as his signature, “Beast 666″. He made his headquarters in Greenwich Village, and started 359

what was called a cult of evil. This was known as the Order of the O. T. O. ...” – Miskatonic Books). John Carradine, it must be noted at this point, was a member of sci-fi fan Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge No. 2 established 1935 A.D., at which inauguration Carradine himself was present), (professed neopagan) Marion Zimmer Bradley (a member of the Society for Creative Anachronisms. According to occultist Alan Cabal: “There has always been a very heavy crossover factor between the Renaissance Fair/Society for Creative Anachronisms crowd, the science-fiction fan circuit and the occult/Wicca scenes.”) and (Jack Parson-associate/Church of Scientology-founder) L. Ron Hubbard.” (Many of the aforementioned people central to our story, it should be noted, have high-level military, naval and State Department/Intelligence backgrounds and associations. Parsons war-time work at Aerojet was classified and brought him into contact with many army, navy and air force brass/Intelligence types, the most notable of which was L. Ron Hubbard with whom he performed his infamous ‘Babylon Working.’ L. Ron Hubbard lived with Parsons in Parsons’ California home (which also doubled as an OTO Lodge/sciencefiction club meeting place and where many of his scientific associates [including many nuclear physicists] as well as doctors, lawyers, Hollywood actors and even a Pasadena bank president were also regulars), and it is interesting to note some important associations there-involved: “The (Jack) Parsons’ circle included not only a circuit connecting (L. Ron) Hubbard and (Aleister) Crowley but also linking Crowley to (H.P.) Lovecraft, whom (L. Ron) Hubbard had met through Lovecraft biographer Frank Belknap Long…In addition, Hubbard and Parsons associated with people in Pasadena who had met Clark Ashton Smith, one of Lovecraft’s regular correspondents, as well as of Crowley’s ‘inner circle’ … A reporter named Nieson Himmel also lived in the house (in Jack Parsons’ commune-like palatial residence which he sub-divided into 19 different apartments and dubbed the Parsonage), sharing a room with (L. Ron) Hubbard…Himmel went on to a long career in crime writing and personally knew several mob bosses, including Bugsy Siegel and Mickey Cohen.” – pp. 102,103,104 Sex and Rockets) (As we learn from Craig Heimbichner in Blood on the Altar p.121,122: “His [Jack Parsons’] Agape Lodge was affiliated with many Hollywood writers and actors, including John Carradine, father of David Carradine (David Carradine’s wife Annie Bierman is a member of L. Ron Hubbard’s Church of Scientology with close ties to its leaders), drugged-out star of ‘Kung Fu’ and the cinematic blood-geyser ‘Kill Bill.’ The elder Carradine read one of Crowley’s poems at the inauguration of [OTO] Agape Lodge No. 2 in 1935.

Dennis Hopper, later to splatter the screen in ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,’ acted with Parsons’ Scarlet Woman [by definition a woman with whom he worked his Sex Magick ceremonies], [Marjorie] Cameron, who also knew Dean Stockwell [Stockwell, a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge, played in the Hollywood musical Anchors Aweigh alongside Frank Sinatra! (Another actor of note who appeared in Anchors Aweigh was Gene Kelley. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Kelly was a major financial supporter of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), and he left thousands of pounds to NORAID in his will.”) Apparently, Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell and Marjorie Cameron were even roommates for a time. Cameron appeared with Dennis Hopper in the 1961 A.D. horror film Night Tide]. Filmmaker [and Anton LaVey associate/Church of Satan member] Kenneth Anger, author and producer of the Hollywood Babylon books, was a devoted Thelemite [by definition an OTO member] (The Kenneth Anger and Marjorie Cameron-associated Renate 360

Druks studied magic under Crowley-initiate Jane Wolfe. See pp. p173, 184,185 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D. As Kenneth Anger himself relates in Lucifer Rising [p.52], he met Jane Wolfe himself when: “…she was an old lady living in retirement in Hollywood.”)…Parsons, who frequented a Communist cell [his business partner Frank Molina was a communist, as well as another member of his team, Tsien Hsue-shen, who during the Red Scare of the 1950s was effectively forced back to China after a lengthly house arrest there to become the ‘Father of Chinese Rocketry’], attempted to produce a ‘moonchild’ or demonic homunculus in the womb of his Scarlet Woman [in the realm of magic, the ideal Scarlet Woman is a red head], Marjorie Cameron [whose brother, sister and father were, like Parsons, employed by JPL; Cameron at one point was in the Navy and worked for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and had associations with Winston Churchhill]…This Babylon Working also included the cooperation of science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who worked for US Naval Intelligence and founded the Church of Scientology, an institutionalized and bureaucratic form of Crowleyanity.”

Interestingly enough: “One other person Parsons met at the LASFS [Los Angeles Science Fiction Society] was Grady McMurty, who later became Frater Hymenaeus Alpha [Parsons’ superior in the OTO] and was Karl Germer’s successor as Outer Head of the OTO, running the Order until his death in 1985.” – p.60 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D. Parsons also supported OTO activities regularly by sending money to Aleister Crowley via Karl Germer [Ibid p.86] with whom he was in regular contact) (**Clifton’s Cafetaria, as we learn from CliftonsCafetaria.com, has a very storied history: “Built a full twenty years before Disneyland, Clifton's legendary Cafeteria [in Los Angeles, CA] served as the inspiration [or rather, was a common denominator] for many visionaries. From Walt Disney himself to Ray Bradbury, Jack Kerouac, Robert A. Heinlein, Ray Harryhousen and Jerry Leiber (who worked as a dishwasher in the basement where he had the inspiration to write such classics as Stand By Me, Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock) [Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock were covered by Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley], and so many more—Clifton's has left an indelible and unsurpassed mark on Popular Culture. Serving artists, families and a vast community of guests since the depths of the Great Depression, Clifton's has weathered good times and bad. It is our honor to prepare Clifton's for another 75 years.” Very interesting common denominator indeed. The Los Angeles Science Fiction Society met for years at this very restaurant).

The Beat generation, the mafia, the OTO, the 60s counter-culture movement and the L.A. artistic scene all meet together in the form of Michael Bowman and Co.: “Michael Bowen was born December 8, 1937, in Beverly Hills to Grace and Sterling Bowen, a Hollywood dentist. His mother’s lover, Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, affectionately known as Uncle Benjie to Michael, would often take the youthful Bowen to not only the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas that he created, but also to the Sir Francis Drake Hotel near Union Square in downtown San Francisco. Bowen’s early romance with San Francisco established this city as his home base from which he would frequently travel to other places in the world. He started his art career at age 17, when he joined the American installation artist Ed Kienholz in his Los 361

Angeles studio. There he met and joined with other influential Beat Generation artists including Wallace Berman (“Berman sought influence in not only those of his Beat circle, but in Surrealism and Dada as well as the Kabbalah.The influence of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism is seen in his collages…His involvement with the jazz scene allowed him opportunities to work with jazz musicians, creating bebop album covers for Charlie Parker. His mail art publication, Semina (a variant of the word ‘semen’), was a series of folio packages that were limited edition and sent or given to his friends. Semina consisted of collages mixed with poetry by writers Michael McClure, Philip Lamantia, David Meltzer, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Jean Cocteau, and by Berman himself, which he published under the pseudonym Pantale Xantos… His likeness appears in the second row of the Beatles’ 1967 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover. The portrait is from a photograph taken by (OTO member) Dean Stockwell.” Wikipedia), John Altoon, and (OTO member) Dennis Hopper.” – Wikipedia: The Royal Maze: Michael Bowen

In occult LA, all roads also lead through the Hollywood mansion of ‘celebrity warlock’ Arthur Jasmine, alias Sam(p)son De Brier: “Arthur Jasmine (April 4, 1899 – April 1, 1995), also known as Samson De Brier or Sampson De Brier, was an American film actor. He was born on 4 April 1899 in the U.S.A. at St. Paul, Minnesota. Beginning his career as a juvenile actor at Essanay Studios in Niles, California, Jasmine appeared in 22 films between years 1915 and 1925 most notably in Alla Nazimova's Salomé (1923) (a film adaptation of homosexual Irish author/poet/Theosophical Society-member Oscar Wilde’s play of the same name, Salome, filmed with an all gay cast as a homage to Wilde). After keeping out of the limelight for several years Jasmine took on the pseudonym Samson De Brier (sometimes cited as Sampson de Brier), and opened up an artist’s salon in Los Angeles, California, in the early 1940s, attracting the likes of Jack Parsons, Anton LaVey, Ray Bradbury, L. Ron Hubbard, Forrest J. Ackerman, and a teenaged Kenneth Anger (other attendees over the years included actors/actresses Jack Nicholson, James Dean, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen, Sally Kellerman, Richard Burton, Anaïs Nin, San Franciscan Human Be-In organizer Michael Bowen [he was known to have attended many De Brier magic gatherings as a teen], and T.V.s Vampira). In 1954 Jasmine took part in Anger's ground-breaking independent film, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome. It is alleged that Jasmine helped Kenneth Anger compile his notorious books Hollywood Babylon and Hollywood Babylon 2.” – Wikipedia: Arthur Jasmine. What attracted everyone to De Brier’s studio was the fact that De Brier was a real life male witch. All of these people were practitioners of magic to some degree and De Brier’s place likely contained an OTO temple or at the very least played host for many magic rituals, particularly after the death of Jack Parsons. Kenneth Anger (who at this time was a canvas painter whose paintings hung at De Brier’s studio) lived with De Brier in De Brier’s Hollywood mansion— Anger’s film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954 A.D.), co-starring De Brier himself, Crowley-initiate Jack Parson’s widow and fellow witch Marjorie Cameron (Cameron was an artist—to a witch, paintings are often magic talismans on canvas), occultist Anaïs Nin and her best friend painter/filmmaker Renate Druks (Druks studied magic under Crowley-initiate Jane Wolfe) and Horror film director Curtis Harrington (Marjorie Cameron and Dennis Hopper would later co-star in 362

Harrington’s horror film Night Tide in 1961 A.D.; Harrington and Druks remained good friends for many decades), was filmed there at De Brier’s house in L.A. Note all the people with OTO connections/affiliations (Notable Internet Quote: “Several undergrounds intersected at the point where De Brier held court – not only the shadowy world of occult Hollywood, but the gay network, the drug scene, and who knows what else.” What else? The shadowy Illuminati-connected Intelligence world).

(Another important name we must at this time introduce into the science fiction scene is sci-fi author Millen Cooke [nee Wilma Dorothy Vermilyea], one-time wife of 60s counter-culture personality John Star Cooke who himself hails from a family with a long-line of Theosophist Society members with connections to Madame Blavatsky and Annie Besant. Millen Cooke had a poem published in 1936 A.D. in Weird Tales magazine. From 1946 – 1950 A.D. her stories and essays appeared in Amazing Stories, Fantastic Fiction and Other Worlds Science Stories magazines. She was also associated with L. Ron Hubbards whose ‘Dianetics’ first made an appearance in Astounding Science Fiction magazine in May 1950 A.D. and whose techniques she herself had mastered. One may in fact trace the genesis of LSD psychotherapy and the CIAs MKULTRA project itself to L. Ron Hubbard’s article entitled ‘Dianetics’ published in Astounding Science Fiction, Vol. 45, No. 3 [May, 1950 A.D.] with its discussion of the use of entheogens for “drug hypnosis,” “narco-synthesis” and “post-hypnotic suggestion” as a way to rewire a psychopathic brain [akin to the process of programming a computer as he likens the human brain to such] as well as the de-mythification of multicultural Shamanistic magic practices [as some manias were credited to demon possession cured only by the performance of an exorcism] through systematic deconstruction according to the “scientific method” within the existing psychiatric field as a credible alternative to the existing “mediaeval” horror show manner of curing insanity by surgically performing prefrontal lobotomies resulting in “zombiism” and by turning patients into living vegetables by performing transorbital leukotomies which involved “electro-shocking” a patient into unconsciousness and “running an ice-pick like instrument into the brain by thrusting it through the eye-socket back of the eyeball, and slashing the brain with it.” Anything, I should say, would be better than that. L. Ron Hubbard who herein describes a number of Shamanistic practices he has personally witnessed in a number of cultural settings around the world [pre1950 A.D.] as evidenced by this article had been involved in clinical psychiatric tests of an occult nature [clairvoyance, automatic-writing, etc.] involving numerous test subjects in a “series of experiments” for quite a number of years dating back to at least 1938 A.D. And not just him, but “we,” presumably Naval Intelligence and their psychiatric patsys. At the time of writing Hubbard claimed hundreds of patients had been “cured” by the techniques outlined in his ‘Dianetics.’ I believe it would not be remiss to say L.Ron Hubbard was MKULTRA and his dealings with Jack Parsons was indeed part and parcel. Out of such would evolve the Church of Scientology. The article also lays out all the tenets of mind control, that a person may be conditioned to illicit a specific response to a specific situation and that such a response can triggered at any time at any future moment. I believe one of the most poignant of Hubbard’s findings is that fear-paralysis leads to total submission of the individual and that one may be conditioned to always respond to fear in such a submissive manner. Such is the premise of the ‘politics of fear.’ ‘Dianetics’ is truly an Illuminating article which I recommend to any who would seek more information on the subject. In a related note, it seems that the British spy [who was known to have engaged in counter-intelligence opearations in this respect in conjunction with American Intelligence agencies including Naval Intelligence during WWI as well as the with the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Investigations, the precursor organization to the FBI] and OTO member Aleister Crowley [who was in constant contact with OTO member Jack Parsons, Naval Intelligence officer L. Ron Hubbard’s OTO magic partner who lived with Parson’s in Jack Parsons’ home] conducted some early pioneering work in this field along MKULTRA lines: “…Nazi doctors at the Dachau concentration camp gave massive mescaline doses to prisoners in hope of

363

achieving “chemical hypnosis.”** British interrogators dabbled with the same drug during WWII. The net result of these and like experiments was that the drug would amplify the effectiveness of interrogation techniques if properly administered. After WWII, the U.S. Navy’s “Operation Chatter” (aka Project CHATTER) continued to experiment with mescaline as a “speech-inducing agent.” The same and related psychedelics featured prominently in the CIA’s MKULTRA mind control projects, which flourished throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Crowley…was a pioneer in this bizarre field, and his groundbreaking work may have informed some of those later experiments. He once boasted, “I have myself made extensive and elaborate studies of the effects of indulgence in stimulants and narcotics,” and produced “a vast quantity of unpublished data” on the subject. Throughout his American stay, the Beast (Crowley) routinely administered mescaline or other drugs to willing and unsuspecting subjects (spicy curies were his favorite means), methodically cataloging the results. These observations ended up in another of his journals, Liber CMXXXIV, The Cactus, which he described as an “elaborate study of the psychological effects produced by Anhalonium Lewinii (peyote cactus)… compiled from the actual records of some hundreds of experiments.” The Cactus vanished after the war.” The Cactus remains a lost book—no doubt it was classified by British and U.S. Intelligence agencies including the OSS: “After the war (WWII), the CIA (the successor organization to the OSS) and the military picked up where the OSS had left off in the secret search for a truth serum. The navy took the lead when it initiated Project CHATTER in 1947, the same year the CIA was formed. Described as an ‘offensive’ program, CHATTER was supposed to devise means of obtaining information from people independent of their volition but without physical duress. Toward this end Dr. Charles Savage conducted experiments with mescaline (a semi-synthetic extract of the peyote cactus that produces hallucinations similar to those caused by LSD) at the Naval Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland…CHATTER was terminated in 1953.” – Acid Dreams p.15.

Hubbard, it would seem, was in someway involved with the Navy’s Project Chatter (** “MKULTRA built upon Nazi experimentations as revealed by Nazi scientists who had come America during Operation Paperclip which included as you remember Von Braun: “The mescaline experiments at Dachau (a Nazi concentration camp in Germany) were described in a lengthy report by the US Naval Technical Mission, which swept across Europe in search of every scrap of industrial material and scientific data that could be garnered from the fallen Reich. This mission set the stage for the wholesale importation of more than six hundred top Nazi scientists under the auspices of Project Paperclip, which the CIA supervised during the early years of the Cold War. Among those who emigrated to the US in such a fashion was Dr. Hubertus Strughold, the German scientist whose chief subordinates (Dr. Sigmund Ruff and Dr. Sigmund Rascher) were directly involved in ‘aviation medicine’ experiments at Dachau, which included the mescaline studies. Despite recurring allegations that he sanctioned medical atrocities during the war, Strughold settled in Texas and became an important figure in America’s space program. After Wernher von Braun, he was the top Nazi scientist employed by the American government, and he was subsequently hailed by NASA as the ‘father of space medicine.’” – Acid Dreams p.15). These topics were of considerable interest to Intelligence connected psychiatrists, no doubt with whom Hubbard associated: “Obtaining information was only one aspect of the interrogation process. Even when CIA officers were able to loosen a subject's tongue, other problems remained, such as how to insure that he would not remember the events that transpired during his stint in the twilight zone. "If by some means we could create a perfect and thoroughly controlled amnesia," a CIA agent declared, "the matter would be simplified, but amnesia is not certain and cannot be guaranteed." Certain drugs were known to produce amnesia for a matter of hours or days, but this was not sufficient. The CIA also had access to chemicals capable of causing permanent brain damage, but long-term amnesia drugs that would be completely reversible over a twelveto-eighteen-month period were not available. This was quite an inconvenience as far as the national security experts were concerned. The question of what to do with subjects of special interrogation sessions—the "disposal problem"—provoked a heated debate inside the

364

Company. The immediate objective was to find a way of holding them "in maximum custody until either operations have progressed to the point where their knowledge is no longer highly sensitive, or the knowledge they possess in general will be of no use to the enemy." One possibility suggested in CIA documents was to render a person incoherent through psychological and/or pharmacological attack and then have him placed in a mental institution.

An unspecified number of subjects were committed involuntarily to insane asylums, including some who were described in CIA memoranda as mentally sound. (This practice, which began in the early 1950S and continued at least until the mid-1960s, invites obvious comparisons to the incarceration of Russian dissidents in psychiatric hospitals because of their political views.) Another option involved "termination with extreme prejudice" (CIA lingo for assassination), but this was hardly an ideal solution in all situations. In one CIA document the question of disposal was discussed under the heading "LOBOTOMY and Related Operations."

A number of individuals who were fully cognizant of the disposal problem suggested that lobotomy "might be the answer or at least a partial solution." They argued that "lobotomy would create a person 'who no longer cared,' who had lost all initiative and drive, whose allegiance to ideal or motivating factors no longer existed, and who would probably have, if not complete amnesia, at least a fuzzy or spotty memory for recent and past events." They also pointed out "that certain lobotomy types of operations were simple, quickly performed and not too dangerous." Along this line a group of CIA scientists entertained the possibility of using an "icepick" lobotomy to render an individual harmless "from a security point of view." A memo dated February 7, 1952, notes that on numerous occasions after using electroshock to produce anesthesia, an unidentified surgeon in the Washington, DC, area performed an operation that involved destroying brain tissue by piercing the skull just above the eye with a fine surgical icepick. This type of psychosurgery had certain advantages, in that it resulted in "nervous confusional and amnesia effects" without leaving a "tell-tale scar." The CIA also experimented with brain surgery via UHF sound waves and at one point during the early 1950S attempted to create a microwave "amnesia beam" that would destroy memory neurons.

Not all CIA officials, however, favored using lobotomy as a disposal technique. Potential drawbacks were cited: surgical risk was great, brain damage could be extensive, and such an operation, if faulty, could produce a "vegetable." Moreover, if the enemy discovered that the CIA was mutilating people's brains for the sake of national security, this information could be exploited as a propaganda weapon. Other CIA officials opposed lobotomy because it was blatantly inhumane and violated "all concepts of 'fairplay' and the American way of life and [thus] it could never be officially [emphasis added] sanctioned or supported.'” – Footnotes pp.16-17 Acid Dreams. It could, however, be sanctioned unofficially).

Chicago was home to the super-secretive Manhattan Project which gave birth to the atomic bomb which should serve to underscore the Chicagoland area’s major government Intelligence agency association. One of the scientists working there with J. Robert Oppenheimer (Oppenheimer was a Pasadena, CA resident with CalTech associations) was a University of Chicago graduate physicist named Luis Alvarez (Alvarez was a member of Ernest

Lawrence's team of scientists; Lawrence as you recall was a Bohemian Club member). During World War II Alvarez worked on classified projects in Europe where he came to know sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke, at the time an RAF airman.

After the war, Alvarez was employed at U of C Berkeley. Alvarez’s work brought him into contact with physicists from CalTech, and no doubt he was an associate of a number of Jack Parsons’ associates, many of them being CalTech physicists involved in Parsons’ OTO magic rituals. Physicists at the time were a pretty closeknit bunch. In the early 1950s Alvarez (a Fellow of the American Philosophical Society, 1953) took part in a CIA-backed CalTech study (along with J. Allen Hynek; 365

Hynek served as a scientific adviser to the U.S. Air Force’s UFO investigatory projects Project Sign, Project Grudge and Project Blue Book) of Unidentified Flying Objects which panel reported a true threat did in fact exist but recommended downplaying any threat publicly including the institution of a general debunking program (See Durant, F. C.: Report on Meetings of Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects. Washington, D.C.: CIA, 1953). Indeed: “The experience of the Orson Welles (War of the Worlds) broadcast years before (which caused widespread panic among many listeners who believed an actual alien invasion was in progress) was constantly in the minds of many officials and there was good reason to believe that public panic might follow statements such as an admission that U.F.O.s might come from outer space.” - U.F.O.s and their Mission Impossible by Dr. Clifford Wilson, 1974 A.D. Oppenheimer (who had lost his security clearance during the 1950s Red Scare in America due to prior Communist party affiliations) along with Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, and UNESCO co-founder Joseph Needham (among others) went on to found the World Academy of Art and Science in 1960 A.D. Another occult Chicago Connection was writer Otis Kline: “Otis Adelbert Kline (1891–1946) born in Chicago, Illinois, USA, was an adventure novelist and literary agent during the pulp era. Much of his work first appeared in the (Chicago-based) magazine Weird Tales…In the mid-1930s Kline largely abandoned writing to concentrate on his career as a literary agent (most famously for fellow Weird Tales author Robert E. Howard, pioneer sword and sorcery writer and creator of Conan the Barbarian).” – Wikipedia: Otis Adelbert Kline.

A major theme which runs through all of the Conan stories is of course black magic and sorcery all of which saw reprints during the mystic 1960s. Howard’s writings were greatly influenced by British writer and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Talbot Mundy.

After Parsons and Hubbard parted company, one of Hubbard’s science-fiction writer friends in New York introduced Hubbard to a man named Sam Merwin (See p.115 Bare Faced Messiah), an associate of Oscar Friend: “Upon the death of his friend and literary agent, Otis Kline, Oscar Friend acquired ownership of his company, Otis Kline Associates. Friend, with the partnership of his wife Irene Ozment Friend, became one of the foremost international science fiction and fantasy agents of the 1950s and 1960s. Oscar Friend's clients included many talented ground-breaking authors, among them: Isaac Asimov, Robert (A.) Heinlein, Ray Bradbury, Robert E. Howard, Theodore Sturgeon, Murray Leinster, and Frank Herbert.” – Wikipedia: Oscar J. Friend (A link between the sci-fi/fantasy literary genre and Confederate magic-practicing Freemasonic generals such as Albert Pike can be found in the form of Robert E. Howard: “Howard was born January 22, 1906 in Peaster, Texas, the only son of a traveling country physician, Dr. Isaac Mordecai Howard, and his wife, Hester Jane Ervin Howard. Both sides of the family had roots throughout the American South, with various ancestors owning plantations and fighting for the Confederacy in the Civil War.” – Wikipedia: Robert E.Howard. Howard, in the end, was also ‘suicided,’ shot in the head with a pistol)

Consider also the story of another Chicago-born Jewish member of the H.P. Lovecraft circle: “Robert Albert Bloch (April 5, 1917 – September 23, 1994) was a prolific American writer (as well as a writer of Hollywood screenplays), primarily of crime, horror and science fiction (it was August Derleth’s Arkham House, H.P. Lovecraft’s publisher, who published Bloch’s first collection of short stories; 366

Arkham House also published works of fiction authored by many of H.P. Lovecraft’s contemporaries, including Ray Bradbury, Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long, Clark Ashton Smith, as well as the works of August Derleth himself). He is best known as the writer of Psycho, the basis for the film of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock. He many times remarked that he had “the heart of a little boy,” quipping “I keep it in a jar on my desk.” Bloch wrote hundreds of short stories and over 20 novels, usually crime fiction, science fiction and, perhaps most influentially, horror fiction (Psycho). He was one of the youngest members of the Lovecraft Circle. H. P. Lovecraft was Bloch’s mentor and one of the first to seriously encourage his talent.

However, while Bloch started his career by emulating Lovecraft and his brand of cosmic horror, he later specialised in crime and horror stories dealing with the inner workings of the human mind…During the 1930s, Bloch was an avid reader of the pulp magazine Weird Tales. H. P. Lovecraft, a frequent contributor to that magazine, became one of his favorite writers. As a teenager, Bloch wrote a fan letter to Lovecraft (1933), who gave him advice on his own fiction-writing efforts. Bloch’s first publication was with the short story “Lilies” in the semi-professional magazine Marvel Tales (Winter 1934). Bloch began correspondence with August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith and others of the 'Lovecraft Circle'. Bloch's first professional sales, at the age of 17 (July 1934), were to Weird Tales with the short stories “The Feast in the Abbey” and “The Secret in the Tomb.” “Feast...” appeared first, in the January 1935 issues which actually went on sale November 1, 1934…He notably penned three original scripts for the original series of Star Trek (1966–67)” – Wikipedia: Robert Albert Bloch (Bloch was a member of the Count Dracula Society at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA which revers all things Dracula, particularly doting upon the novel Dracula written by Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member [the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was the inner circle of the Theosophical Society] Bram Stoker (if an investigative reporter such as Maury Terry were looking for a ‘blood drinking cult’ as he was in the ’80s this would be a good place to start). That Parson’s L.A. Science Fantasy Society was associated with the Count Dracula Society [the Count Dracula Society is closely associated with the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films] is particularly evident in the person of Harl Vincent: “Harl Vincent (October 19, 1893 – May 5, 1968) was the publication name of Harold Vincent Schoepflin, an American mechanical engineer and science fiction author. He was published regularly in science fiction "pulp" magazines…Although he ceased publishing during the early 1940s, Vincent remained involved with science fiction. After relocating to Los Angeles, Vincent joined the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society and the Count Dracula Society, as well as attending local science fiction conventions. Vincent resumed writing late in life, publishing the novel The Doomsday Planet in 1966 and the story “Invader” in the September 1967 issue of If.” – Wikipedia: Harl Vincent. Forrest J. Ackerman was also associated with the Count Dracula Society as well as with the World Science Fiction Society founded in 1939 A.D.)

Consider also the Chicago connection in the form Leslie S. Klinger of the Baker Street Irregulars (of which H.P. Lovecraft circle authors August Derleth, Anthony Boucher and Isaac Asimov were notable members; Presidents FDR and Harry S. Truman were also Honorary members): “Leslie S. Klinger (born May 2, 1946, Chicago, Illinois) is an American attorney and writer. He is a noted literary editor and annotator of classic mystery fiction, including the Sherlock 367

Holmes stories and the novel Dracula (both novels penned by Theosophical Society members)…Klinger is a member of the Sherlock Holmes literary club called The Baker Street Irregulars,** as well as numerous other Sherlockian societies. He served three terms as chapter president of the Southern California chapter of the Mystery Writers of America. He is a member of Sisters in Crime, the Horror Writers Association (and currently serves on the Board of HWA), the Dracula Society (which is associated with the Count Dracula Society), and the Transylvanian Society of Dracula.” – Wikipedia: Leslie L. Klinger. Chicago was home to the super-secretive Manhattan Project which gave birth to the atomic bomb which should underscore the Chicagoland area’s government Intelligence agency background

(**The Baker Street Irregulars recieves its name from: “The Special Operations Executive (SOE), tasked by Winston Churchill to "set Europe ablaze" during World War II, had their headquarters at 64 Baker Street and were often called “the Baker Street Irregulars” after Sherlock Holmes’s fictional group of boys employed ‘to go everywhere, see everything and overhear everyone,’ as they spied about London.” – Wikipedia. Another Notable member of the Special Operations Executive was British actor Christopher Lee, a man who bears all the stamps of the Illuminati (as does the aforementioned societies as well as all of the following associations): “Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee, CBE, CStJ (born 27 May 1922) is an English actor and musician. Lee initially portrayed villains and became famous for his role as Count Dracula in a string of Hammer Horror films (“…a film production company based in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1934, the company is best known for a series of Gothic "Hammer Horror" films made from the mid1950s until the 1970s…” The first of its horror films was Dracula starring Christopher Lee in 1958 A.D.)…Lee was born in Belgravia, Westminster (in England), as the son of LieutenantColonel Geoffrey Trollope Lee, of the 60th King's Royal Rifle Corps, and his wife, Contessa Estelle Marie (née Carandini di Sarzano)…Lee's maternal great-grandfather was an Italian political refugee, and his great-grandmother was English-born Australian singer Marie Carandini…His parents separated when he was very young, and his mother took him and his sister to Switzerland (recall Switzerland was where the Illuminati revolution of 1848 A.D. had been successful). After enrolling in Miss Fisher's Academy in Wengen, he played his first villainous role as Rumpelstiltskin. The family returned to London, where Lee attended Wagner's private school (recall Wagner fled to Switzerland when the Illuminati plot with which he was involved was uncovered). His mother then married Harcourt "Ingle" Rose, a banker and stepcousin of (British spy) Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels. Lee spent some time at Summer Fields School, a preparatory school in Oxford (notable for sending many alumni to Eton). …Lee volunteered to fight for the Finnish forces during the Winter War against the Soviet Union in 1939…He went on to serve in the Royal Air Force and intelligence services during World War II, including serving as an Intelligence officer with the Long Range Desert Group. He trained in South Africa as a pilot, but eyesight problems forced him to drop out. He eventually ended up in North Africa as Cipher Officer for No. 260 Squadron RAF and was with it through Sicily and Italy. Additionally, he has mentioned (including in his audio commentary on the Lord of the Rings DVD) serving in Special Operations Executive. Lee retired from the RAF after the end of the war with the

368

rank of Flight Lieutenant.” – Wikipedia: Christopher Lee) (Amazingly enough, the Illuminati have long used the Dracula franchise as cover for subversive activities [into which catagory must be placed Hamilton Deane: “Hamilton Deane (1880–1958) was an Irish actor, playwright and director. He played a key role in popularising Bram Stoker's Dracula as a stage play and, later, a film.” – Wikipedia: Hamilton Deane. “Dracula is a 1924 stage play adapted by Hamilton Deane from the novel of the same name by Bram Stoker…It was the first adaptation of the novel authorised by Stoker's widow…The American production starred Bela Lugosi in his first major English-speaking role…” – Wikipedia: Dracula (1924 play). Hamilton Deane’s family owned an estate adjacent to that of Bram Stoker’s father and Deane himself was a member of the Shakespearean actor Sir Henry Irving’s Vacation Company [formed after the Lyceum Theatre’s demise in 1899 A.D., it spent six months each year touring America.

Deane himself was an actor who acted with the company from 1899 A.D. until the death of Irving in 1905 A.D. Deane formed his own company in the early 1920s]. Hamilton Deane must surely have known Bram Stroker [who served as business manager of the Lyceum Theatre for upwards of 20 years; his mother had known Stoker since their childhood years.

Stoker was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the inner circle of the Theosophical Society]. The 1950s to 1970s Illuminati trail runs through British actor Christopher Lee and the 1958 film Dracula (released in the US under the name The Horror of Dracula), Hammer Film Productions (Illuminus Bela Lugosi [star of Dracula in Hamilton Deane’s Broadway plays and in its later Hollywood film adaptation] starred in Hammer Film Productions’ The Mystery of the Marie Celeste [US: The Phantom Ship] [1936 A.D.]), the Rank Organisation (UK)/Rank Group PLC, Cornel Lucas and the Pinewood Studios/Pinewood Studios Group near London England (Cornel worked with the OSS-associated actress Marlene Dietrich as well as with British Intelligence agent turned actor David Niven). Side roads include the GHQ Liaison Regiment, a World War II special reconnaissance unit, GHQ Liaison Regiment commander and actor David Niven (Niven was a good friend of Errol Flynn, an associate of Ronald Reagan [they acted in a 1940 A.D. western titled Santa Fe Trail], James Bond author and British spy Ian Fleming, a colleague of David Niven (Niven is mentioned by name in two of Fleming’s novels), Camp X (the MKULTRA-associated George Hunter White was indoctrinated at Camp X) founder Sir William Stephenson (codename: Intrepid), a Canadian master spy for British intelligence (David Niven once starred in the television miniseries A Man Called INTREPID based on the memoirs of Sir William Stephenson), William J. Donovan and the British Security Coordination (BSC): “a covert organization set up in New York City by the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in May 1940 upon the authorization of Winston Churchill…The British novelist William Boyd, in a 2006 article for The Guardian, stated that although the total number of BSC agents operating in the USA is unknown, he estimated the number to be at least ‘many hundreds’ and had seen ‘the figure of up to 3,000 mentioned.’” – Wikipedia: British Security Coordination. No doubt it included no small number of operatives associated with the Illuminati if it was not in fact entirely an Illuminati operation) (Consider also the story of another British intelligence agent turned actor who also starred in film roles based on stories written by Theosophical Society authors [in this case the Sherlock Holmes books of Thesophical Society-member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]: “Sir Basil Rathbone, KBE, MC, Kt (13 June 1892 – 21 July 1967) was an English actor. He rose to prominence in England as a Shakespearean stage actor (note the Shakespearean actor theme which is also a common thread throughout our story)…His most famous role, however, was heroic—that of Sherlock Holmes in fourteen Hollywood films made between 1939 and 1946 and in a radio series. His later career included Broadway and television work…He was born Philip St. John Basil Rathbone in Johannesburg, South African Republic, to English parents Edgar Philip Rathbone, a mining engineer and scion of the Liverpool Rathbone family, and Anna Barbara née George, a violinist…The Rathbones fled to England when Basil was three years old after his father was accused by the Boers of being a British spy near the onset of the Second Boer War at the end of the 1890s… In 1916, he (Basil Rathbone) enlisted for the remaining duration of World War I, joining the London Scottish Regiment as a private,

369

serving alongside his future successful acting contemporaries Claude Rains, Herbert Marshall and Ronald Colman. He later transferred with a commission as a lieutenant to the Liverpool Scottish, 2nd Battalion, where he served as an intelligence officer and eventually attained the rank of captain.” – Wikipedia: Basil Rathbone. No doubt all of these actors were British Intelligence operatives)

Other connections do in fact abound between the Spiritualist Movement and 1950s sci-fi pulp novels. Curious books were created through purported cases of automatic-writing through and I quote as in the following case “communications with the other world” by use of the planchette and Ouija “transmission board,” none more peculiar than Jap Herron: A Novel Written from the Ouija Board (1917 A.D.), in its own words the “post-mortem work of Samuel L. Clemens, known to the world as Mark Twain.” In the Introduction to this work, a Ms. Emily Grant Hutchings describes the process by which Jap Herron was trasnsmitted to her psychical research group by the spirit of a deceased Mark Twain, who by his own admission was a resident of the “other world,” and speaks of another short story dictated in the same way by Twain on the Ouija Board called A Daughter of Mars, the sci-fi synopses of the story being: “Vallon Leithe (which contains an anagram of a variant spelling of the word ‘Leviathan,’ namely, Leviathon), an enthusiastic aeronaut, was resting after a long flight, when a strange air-craft fell out of the sky, lodging in the top of a great tree. The occupant of the marvelously constructed flying machine proved to be a girl from the planet Mars. Her name was Ulethe…” (‘Ulethe’ is basically a form of ‘Pig Latin’ for ‘Thule’). The publisher of this work, Mitchell Kennerly of New York, was also the American publisher of the Fantasy genre works of the Irish author Edward Plunkett (Lord Dunsany), 18th Baron of Dunsany, considered a major influence on writers including H. P. Lovecraft and J.R.R. Tolkien (Plunkett worked with Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, co-founders of the Irish Literary Theatre/Abbey Theatre, which included revolutionary Maude Gonne amongst its actresses. Edward Plunkett’s mother was the cousin of the British spy, diplomat and army Captain Sir Richard Burton, who was also well aquainted with W.B. Yeats, Burton being known for his English publication of the Kama Sutra as well as the One Thousand and One Nights).

Plunkett’s Fifty-One Tales collection of stories was published simultaneously in America by Kennerly and in London by a man named Charles Mathews (with simultaneous publications one must assume a collaboration). Of Matthews we learn in Wikipedia: “Charles Elkin Mathews (1851 – 10 November 1921) was a British publisher and bookseller who played an important role in the literary life of late 19th and early 20th century London…Mathews (after previous partnerships) set up on his own, publishing works by his neighbour W. B. Yeats, Lionel Johnson, James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Robert Bridges, amongst others.”

Which brings us to the story of Laurel Canyon (canyon home to Jack Parsons’ friend [and government spy!?!] Robert A. Heinlein) and the Intelligence contrived countercultural music scene (possibly created in part to infiltrate the London music scene and the underworld in which it operated). But first a little early history of the area. Stage Magician and Spiritist Harry Houdini (a long time friend of the Society of Psychical Research-associated Theosophical Societymember/Sherlock Holmes-creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) was an early owner of property in Laurel Canyon, which was the site, most importantly enough to our story, 370

of a super-clandestine film production facility operated by certain U.S. intelligence services for a number of eventful decades called Lookout Mountain Laboratory overlooking the Los Angeles area and under the command of the Air Force’s 1352nd Motion Picture Squadron whose mission was to provide in-service production of classified motion picture and still photographs for the Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission (now the Department of Energy) between 1947 A.D. and 1969 A.D. including those of some 200 atomic bomb field tests (involving of course many of the aforementioned physicists). In fact, Harry Houdini, it turns out was himself an American spy. The entire Laurel Canyon area seems to have been Intelligence related. But more important to the story is the fact Anton LaVey’s blonde bombshell girlfriend Marilyn Monroe (a known mob associate) had secret clearance to work at this studio (as did numerous other famous Hollywood actors and producers including Walt Disney and Ronald Reagan. Such goings on must also be considered in light of the history of the Cold War, the execution in 1953 A.D. of Communist spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg for passing atomic secrets to the Soviets, Truman’s Executive Order 9835, McCarthyism and the anti-communist activities of J. Edgar Hoover, the Second Red Scare [1947 – 1957 A.D.] in the United States and the institution of the Black List in Hollywood on November 25, 1947 A.D. [included on which was Burgess Meredith (an associate of Eton attendee Aldous Huxley who would later play the Penguin on the comic book-inspired T.V. series Batman) who had been supporting the pro-Israeli efforts of Hollywood producer Ben Hecht] as well as the House Un-American Activities [HUAC] proceedings [1938–1975 A.D.] which included Walt Disney and Hollywood actor Ronald Reagan in a pre-presidential role [during which time he was serving at the aforementioned super-secretive Lookout Mountain Laboratory tasked in providing in-service production of classified motion pictures and still photographs for the Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission involving atomic bomb field tests] providing testimony overseen by a panel which at one time included Richard Nixon. Such ‘un-American activities’ included the efforts of those involved in the civil rights movement as well as the anti-nuclear weapons and anti-nuclear testing movements(!!!), which movements resulted in the scrapping of plans to build a nuclear power plant at Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco as well as one in Malibu, CA. No doubt some powerful people including politicians, contractors and mafia-associated union men were more than less than happy).

Also important to our story is LaVey’s uncle’s business associate, the Jewish mobster Bugsy Siegel (Siegel, a Hollywood powerbroker in his own right, like Anton LaVey had himself carried on a sexual affair with Marilyn Monroe [See Norma Jean: My Secret Life with Marilyn Monroe, p.84, 87]). Bugsy Siegel was a business associate of Bill (William) Wilkerson, business owner of a trendy club located there in West Hollywood named Ciro’s (established 1940 A.D.; Wilkerson also owned Café Trocadero and was part owner with Bugsy Siegal and associates [including presumably Anton LaVey’s Mafia/Bugsy Siegalassociated uncle] of Flamingo Casino in Las Vegas. The Jewish 371

convert/Rat Pack singer Sammy Davis Jr. it is important to note was a member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, and fellow Rat Pack-er and mobster crooner Frank Sinatra along with his wife Nancy were openly associated with the Mafia [Nancy Sinatra was the daughter of Francis Albert Sinatra, whose known mob associates included Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Sam Giancana, Carlo Gambino, Goetano Luchese and Joseph Fishetti who was a cousin of Chicago’s Al Capone mafia boss]. It is also interesting to note President John F. Kennedy’s brother-in-law was none other than Peter Lawford, also a member of the infamous Mafia-associated Rat Pack which included Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis Jr [Notable Quote: “LaVey talked with admiration about gangsters like Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, referring to them as seminal influences on his own philosophy.” – p.144 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley]. In fact, many Hollywood and Broadway stars as well as musicians such as the Army vet/Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley and Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe performed at Mafia-run casinos lining the glittery Las Vegas Strip [Presley starred in a number of Hollywood movies including Speedway with Frank Sinatra’s daughter Nancy Sinatra, and was known to hang out with another member of the Rat Pack, Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis, Jr.; Presley also hung out regulary with actor Dennis Hopper whose ex-roomate, fellow actor and Presley friend Nick Adams, was a member of the Presley retinue affectionately dubbed the Memphis Mafia. Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie and ex-wife Priscilla would later become prominent members of L. Ron Hubbard’s Church of Scientology]). Ciro’s was a favorite haunt of made-man Anton LaVey’s girl Marilyn Monroe (as it also was for the aforementioned numerous other Hollywood actors and producers, including future California governor/American president and Bohemian Club-member Ronald ‘Bedtime For Bonzo’ Reagan.

Most of the bands of the 1960s and 70s have ties to Laurel Canyon and to Charles Manson, and are themselves composed of the children of military Intelligence connected parents, and many members themselves also have such a military background, located in the canyon home of a major intelligence operation, and all were deeply immersed in the LSD scene. As should be noted, a prodigious dispersion of LSD within the ranks of a newly-minted fan-base coincided with the creation of these newly-founded bands. And all were tied to basically this one California canyon and mostly around one mysterious house (a commune-type setup called the Log Cabin) 372

and street and its immediate environs. Richard Alpert was there. And so were Charlie Manson Family members (Manson reputedly was a member of the Solar Lodge OTO in San Bernandino), as well as a group of youthful Hollywood actors who called themselves Young Turks (typical Freemasonic ‘Youth Movement’ nomenclature), including of course, day trippers Jack Nicholson and actor Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider [starring Dennis Hopper with Jack Nickolson] was directed by Solar Lodge OTO member Jerry Kay, who additionally directed other lesser known motorcycle-themed movies such as Angels from Hell, Hells Angels on Wheels [also with Jack Nicholson], and Scorpio Rising [Scorpio Rising was Kenneth Anger’s occult-filled homage to gay biker members of some sort of satanic James Dean sex cult {it is alleged James Dean was himself homosexual} (The Wild One film [1953 A.D.] starring Marlon Brando based on the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club did much to popularize the gang amongst young Californians and James Dean reportedly modeled himself upon Brando’s ‘Johnny Strabler’ character complete with homage haircut and longish sideburns). Dennis Hopper appeared in James Dean’s final two films, namely, Rebel Without a Cause (1955 A.D.), and Giant (1956 A.D.), a later posthumous release]. Dennis Hopper’s father, Jay Hopper was a member along with Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard of the OTOs Agape Lodge in Pasadena, CA (See Blood On the Altar by Craig Heimbichner, The Unknown God by a Thelemite (by definition a member of the OTO) named Martin P. Starr and also Sex and Rockets by another OTO member named Dean Stockwell). Even more revealingly, Dennis Hopper has stated his father Jay Hopper was an intelligence officer with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor organization to the CIA (See Hollywood Iconoclast Dennis Hopper Dies at 74, May 30, 2010, Stephen M. Silverman, People.com). In fact, the Laurel Canyon group had all the markings of an

OTO commune-type Lodge [organized as a Freemasonic Youth Movement revolutionary group] entirely similar to Jack Parsons’ Parsonage commune/OTO temple, and there is no doubt in my mind that this is what it was. It was the so-called Solar Lodge OTO (an ‘unofficial’ lodge as it was said to have possessed no ‘official’ charter) in which Charles Manson was a member. And the likely possibility exists that Manson’s Family commune may have been affiliated with the Solar Lodge OTO which owned a number of small mansions in Los Angeles, a bookstore called ‘The Eye of Horus’ located across the street from the USC campus, a desert property known as the Solar 373

Ranch and even leased and operated a gas station in Los Angeles where various cult members worked. (One man who particulary pops up on the Illuminati radar screen is Terry Southern: “In 1953 Southern…returned to the US and settled in Greenwich Village in New York City. As he had in Paris, Southern quickly became a prominent figure in the artistic scene that flourished in the village in the late 1950s. He met visual artists including Robert Frank, Annie Truxell, and Larry Rivers, and through Mason Hoffenberg, who made occasional visits from Paris, he was introduced to leading writers including Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Gregory Corso settling in Geneva, Switzerland (a hotbed of Illuminati activity), where they (he and his wife) lived until 1959. (Southern’s wife) Carol took a job with UNESCO…The couple made trips to Paris, where they visited Mason Hoffenberg, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs…a companion to Beat writers in Greenwich Village, Southern was also at the center of Swinging London in the sixties…” – Wikipedia: Terry Southern. Southern was involved with a number of key Hollywood figures, being also involved in the creation of the film Easy Rider: “Easy Rider is a 1969 American road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda and directed by Hopper.” – Wikipedia: Easy Rider)

Concerning the Pasadena, California lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis: “The Riverside Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO): Also known as The Solar Lodge of the OTO, which followed the teachings of cult messiah Aleister Crowley…high priest of the OTO and a British intelligence agent, gave Winifred T. Smith a charter to open an OTO lodge in Pasadena (California). The high priest of the lodge was Jack Parsons, a rocket expert and founder of the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). The OTO’s Solar Lodge in San Bernardino was presided over by Georgina “Jean” Brayton, the daughter of a ranking Air Force officer in the 1960’s.” - Psychic Dictatorship in the U.S.A. by Alex Constantine, 1995 A.D. As previously noted, Jerry Kay, the art director for the movie Easy Rider, was a known member of Brayton’s Solar Lodge. Indeed, it is known that Brayton’s Solar Lodge group included such a Hollywood cult. The Solar Lodge was in effect a reincarnation of Jack Parsons’ Agape Lodge which sprang into being when a Ninth Degree member of Parsons’ OTO lodge named Ray Burlingame initiated Brayton into the order. He died shortly thereafter. Brayton’s husband was a teacher in the philosophy department at the University of Southern California. It was Brayton who preached the concept of an apocalyptic race war between the black and white races which Charles Manson would later mimick as ‘Helter Skelter’ (Manson was known to be a frequent visitor to a house at 1251 West Thirtieth Street in Los Angeles owned by Brayton and rented my members of her Solar Lodge OTO [See The Solar Lodge OTO by Ed Sanders]. Such houses often include a Temple area for magic rituals). Brayton and her OTO Solar Lodge prophecied the onset of an imminant race war between blacks and whites and in 1969 A.D. had instructed her followers to flee the Los Angeles area by the 21st of June, the time of the summer solstice when she expected the race war to begin (this date incidentally enough coincided with the Semitic ritual practice of weeping for Tammuz [Azazel] which persisted for an entire lunar month encompassing 28 days commencing at the time of the summer solstice on June 21st which continued until July 19th, commemorating the day of the angel Azazel’s expected future return). Solar Lodge members began scouting and preparing desert locales (including Blythe, CA where they were constructing their ‘Ark’) where they could escape the expected conflagration (Manson was likewise 374

preparing for his and his Family’s exodus to the desert). At approximately the same time the Solar Lodge leaders were being rounded up and arrested for felony child abuse, Manson was out commiting his most infamous murders. In fact, when this June 21st date came and went without the anticipated flare-up, Manson in his own words determined he was going to have to “show blackie how to do it,” which is to say, he would show the African-Americans how to start Brayton’s prophecied though non-occuring race war of which he like Brayton had so fervently preached.

The Manson murders all took place within months after this June 21st date and provided in part the impetus for the notorious Tate/LaBianca murders, the Family smearing ‘Helter Skelter’ in blood upon their wall.

Georgina Brayton like many occultists before her also openly propounded a variation of the Hollow Earth theory. Manson himself professed the belief in a secret city beneath Death Valley [which in itself was based on Hopi Indian lore] that he could reach through a hole in the ground. It was there he had determined to wait out the expected race war and to survive the coming apocalypse (Manson was associated with Brayton’s OTO group as well as with The Process Church of the Final Judgment. According to Ed Sanders who had a front row seat for the whole 1960s scene: “The Process Church of the Final Judgment is an English occult society dedicated to observing and aiding the end of the world by stirring up murder, violence and chaos, and dedicated to the proposition that they, the Process, shall survive the gore as the chosen people.” Manson even took to wearing a black cape parroting the cape-wearing deGrimston who was the leader of The Process Church).

To better understand these events, some background information is required. The year of the Manson murders in 1969 A.D. was the year of peak membership in the Black Panthers revolutionary group (founded in Oakland in 1966 A.D. on the heels of the Watts Riots in Los Angeles circa. 1965 A.D.) which grew to include Black Panthers chapters in many major U.S. cities. This was during the days of the African-American Civil Rights Movement in America and the year following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968 A.D. One of the co-founders of the Black Panther Party was Huey P. Newton who had connections with the Nation of Islam (by definition a group of the U.F.O. religion sort) and who propounded what he termed “revolutionary humanism.” Oddly enough [and perhaps revealingly enough] it was three members of the Nation of Islam who assassinated AfricanAmerican Civil Rights revolutionary Malcolm X in 1965 A.D. Perhaps this explains the reasons for its creation.

One interesting African-American Civil Rights Movement activist of note was the actor and Laurel Canyon resident Marlon Brando (which renders him suspect as being an Intelligence operative), The Wild One himself was a good friend of Donald Seaton Cammell: “Donald Seaton Cammell (17 January 1934 – 24 April 1996) was a Scottish film director who enjoys a cult reputation thanks to his debut film Performance, which he co-directed with Nicolas Roeg (“Performance is a 1968 British crime drama film; the film was produced in 1968 but not released until 1970.

Directed by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, Performance stars James Fox and Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones in his film acting debut.”)…Cammell was born in the Camera Obscura (then known as Outlook Tower) on Castlehill, near the castle in Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of the poet and writer Charles Richard Cammell. The older Cammell wrote a biography of Aleister Crowley focusing principally on the occultist's poetry. Crowley, who lived near the Cammells for a time, knew the 375

young Donald (he was even said to have sat on Aleister Crowley’s knee! As Cammell himself would later recall: “My father filled the house with magicians, spiritualists and demons.”). A prodigy, he was a society portrait painter and thanks to family connections, a prominent fixture of the ‘swinging London’ social scene (for the most part centered on King’s Road which runs the length of Chelsea) of the 1960s, specifically of what became known as the ‘Chelsea Set’ (Chelsea was the wealthy district of London. Chelsea during the 1960s/1970s Swinging London period was home to both the Beatles and Rolling Stones members Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards making them a part of the afforementioned ‘Chelsea Set’ with which Donald Cammell associated and with which OTO-member Kenneth Anger was connected).” – Wikipedia: Donald Seaton Cammell. Basically, Performance was the film adaptation of what amounted to the lifestyle with which Cammell was involved, his life portrayed on film. According to Cammell’s biography: “In writing the screenplay he drew on his familiarity with the London underworld of the 1960s and association with the pop musicians of the day.” One of the characters in the movie was based on the East End gangster/murderer Jimmy Evans whom Cammell knew personally and to whom it would seem he was evidently beholden. In fact, The Rolling Stones band-members’ very good friend Tony Sanchez was a very highplaced member of the aforementioned Swinging London scene and associate to London gangsters who had associations with all of the London-area gangsters, many of them drug-related involved in international drug dealing operations (Notable Tony Sanchez Quote: “…as a boy I worked in Soho, first as a nightclub bouncer, then as a croupier (by definition a casino worker; Sanchez admits these games were both illegal and rigged in the house’s favor), so I knew exactly where to go for anything from a lid of grass (marijuana) to a Thompson submachine gun (including obtaining supplies of heroine and cocaine for users including Rolling Stones bandmembers).

Consequently people in the rock world had come to use me as a reluctant go-between in their flirtations with the London underworld.” - pp. 9-10 Up and Down with the Rolling Stones. Sanchez even: “…had a cousin who had gone way, way off the rails and who had become deeply immersed in organized crime…He told me stories about being chased by police cars about the twins who were ruling the East End of London with a panache Capone himself would have envied” (Ibid p. 37). It was this cousin who arranged for him to become a croupier “at a little Mayfair club he had an interest in called Le Chat Noire. The work was interesting, but by far the most exciting part of it, for me, was the extraordinary opportunity it afforded to meet the corpse d’ elite of London’s criminal fraternity. Albert Dimes, the steely-eyed Italian Godfather whose territory covered all of the West End had a nightclub in Soho, and he became a firm friend. I have heard that he was once one of the most feared man in England…Albert Dimes…ruled Soho with a rod of iron” (Ibid p.39).

One little known influence on the hippie movement (in both the U.S. and the U.K.) is the UFO phenomenon: “Social historians invariably associate the hippie movement with Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, sources of both inspiration and imagery, and the hippies’ interest in these belief systems has been well documented. But there was another alternative to the blinkered Western worldview of the 1960s already deeply embedded in the British cultural psyche, and already present in the lives of those who would form the movement known as the Underground – the flying saucer culture…Barry Miles (Miles was a major player in the 1960s underground as well as an English author who has written Paul 376

McCartney’s official biography as well as the biographies of John Lennon, Frank Zappa, William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac and Allan Ginsberg) was also aware of the attraction Glastonbury (steeped as it is in King Arthur lore) held for those in the counterculture: ‘The King’s Road (through Chelsea) led straight to Glastonbury in those days…The people we knew led double lives, experimenting with acid, spending entire evenings discussing flying saucers, ley lines and the court of King Arthur. Other people waited patiently at Arthur’s Tor for flying saucers to land.’ And as word got around that Glastonbury was the new ‘window area’ for UFO sightings, more and more hippies made it a place of pilgrimage. According to Michell, ‘UFOs were constantly being sighted over St Michael’s Tower on Glastonbury Tor’ (the reputed site of King Arthur’s Avalon of the Grail legends; England is also home to the archaic Uffington White Horse whose full Leucippotomic magnificence may only be appreciated from a UFO vantage-point) … Craig Sams, who set up England’s first macrobiotic restaurant, was also a Glastonbury enthusiast: ‘I didn’t see a flying saucer till October 1967 (1967 A.D. was a major UFO ‘flap’ year in England and America) when I went to Glastonbury. One day I got a ’phone call from Mark Palmer saying that it would be a good idea to come down, that there was a lot of UFO activity, that John Michell, who had just written The Flying Saucer Vision, was camping down there, and Michael Rainey (owner of the upscale Hung On You Chelsea boutique). So here we are in the field and up come the UFOs. We weren’t tripping, I’d given up acid. I was completely normal, maybe I’d had a cup of tea about half an hour before…Mark Palmer (of the Palmer Baronets) saw them – they were definitely there. They were in the classic cigar-shaped mother-ship form. Little lights emanating from them. Then at one point you saw these other lights coming up towards them and the smaller lights just shot into the cigar-shaped mother-ship, which then just disappeared at high speed. The other lights had been RAF jets. It was obvious that the RAF had scrambled some jets.’ It would be easy to dismiss the Underground’s fascination with saucers if it weren’t for the fact that 1967 was a huge ‘flap’ year for UFO sightings in the UK. This wasn’t just a ‘hippie thing’ – it was even happening to policemen, who chased them for hours in their patrol cars.

The MOD (Ministry of Defense) was so inundated by UFO reports it radically changed its UFO policy and set up a team of investigators to interview civilian UFO witnesses, the first time this had been done…As flying saucers became further embedded in popular culture, rock musicians were becoming interested in them as a means of expressing the psychedelic experience…Even the Rolling Stones…took an interest in saucers. John Michell (author of The Flyng Saucer Vision) accompanied them (the Rolling Stones band-members) on a saucer-spotting mission to Stonehenge, while singer Marianne Faithfull recalls the (Rolling) Stones’ ill-starred rhythm guitarist Brian Jones taking a great interest in Michell’s ideas on the subject: ‘Like a lot of people at the time, myself included, he was convinced there was a mystic link between druidic monuments and flying saucers’…Similarly, the (Rolling) Stones’ Keith Richards was more than curious about saucers: ‘I’ve seen a few, but nothing any of the ministries would believe,’ he told a Melody Maker journalist. ‘I believe they exist – plenty of people have seen them. They are tied up with a lot of things, like the dawn of man, for example...’ But were it not for the hippies’ interest in flying saucers, nurtured by John Michell, it’s doubtful that the continuing interest in such subjects would be part of our cultural landscape in the 21st century.” – Fortean Times© Oct. 2007: A Saucer Full of Secrets by Andy Roberts. One 377

can certainly perceive Eton grad John Michell’s influence on the belief system of the Rolling Stones as well as Michell’s own theosophical bent when he writes circa 1967 A.D. in the Introduction to his book The Flying Saucer Vision: “It is now more than twenty years ago since people first began to notice the strange objects in the sky. By night bright lights were appearing overhead, moving rapidly like comets or the great fiery dragons so often seen in the past; by day they were seen as flying discs or globes. Newspapers call them flying saucers.

There was something about these objects and the stories connected with them that caused immediate excitement, and a rumour quickly spread that they were the spacecraft of intelligent beings from outside the earth. The claim by George Adamski, that he had seen one at close quarters in the California desert and spoken with its occupants, was followed by the publication of numerous books and articles by people with similar experiences…and their (the UFO occupants’) message to men on earth…Since the first appearance of flying saucers an enormous amount of folklore has grown up around them. New ideas and old beliefs have been given a definite expression in the legend of the flying discs…At the same time it has become evident that flying saucers themselves are by no means new. A great many reports from the 19th century and earlier appear to refer to flying objects of the same sort as are seen today. In fact it appears from the works of the Romans, Greek and Egyptian writers that the phenomenon was known in times of the greatest antiquity. Even the popular interpretation of flying saucers, that they are the spacecraft of an extra-terrestrial race, is nothing new, for in the earliest legends of mythology the flying vehicles of the gods are described in the same way, as wheels or winged discs. It may therefore be possible, by finding out how the strange flying objects were interpreted in the past, to achieve some understanding of their significance today.

In doing this we shall have to reconsider some of the commonly accepted assumptions about the meaning behind the themes of mythology … when men first achieved the expanded way of thought necessary for progress towards a civilization, we have some record in mythology (“the tradition of the gods from the sky and of the sacred mandala, the winged disc bringing both gifts and destruction”), and from this source we learn that the momentous step forward was taken through the appearance on earth of a superior race, the gods. The lessons learned from that time have survived, sometimes embedded in the culture of the great civilizations of the past, sometimes guarded by a more or less secret dynasty of priests and scholars in, for instance, the Druid colleges and certain remote monasteries of the East. In this way we have reached the present critical moment in the history of our civilization, when no further significant progress seems possible within the existing system, when to many people our only hope of development and even survival seems to lie in the achievement of a new, higher vision, whatever form this may take. It may be the flying saucers today, as at the time of our last vision, when they were revealed as the vehicles of the gods, are a portent of a further evolutionary step to be brought about through the working of some influence from outside the earth.” – pp. 8-9,10 Introduction to The Flying Saucer Vision by John Michell, 1967 A.D. It was the Theosophical Society’s belief at the time that this forward ‘evolutionary step’ was in fact eminently imminent. The Flying Saucer Vision reveals Mitchell to be quite the adept magus in a strictly modern sense. He correctly equates the ‘mythologies’ of the past to the modern UFO sightings of the day including links to the British Arthurian Grail legends. His is certainly the most readable and eye-opening book on UFOs I have encountered to date.

Andy Robert’s Fortean Times© article goes on to describe how as a result of this incident at Glastonbury in 1967 A.D. Desmond Leslie, the son of a cousin of alleged Druid and British prime minister Winston Churchhill, and a writer/musician with whom UFO contactee George Adamski had co-authored one of the very first books on UFOs entitled Flying Saucers Have Landed in 1953 A.D., hosted the U.K.’s first UFO convention during the following summer of 1968 A.D. Leslie’s family home of Castle Leslie in County Monaghan, Ireland is known to have been graced with the presence of Sirs Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney (Flying Saucers 378

Have Landed was a best-seller which has been translated into 50 different languages and has been described as “a key text of the New Age movement.” In 1954 A.D., Leslie reported several UFO sightings in the presence of George Adamski while on a visit to the Adamski home in California. As we learn from Leslie’s Obituary in The Telegraph©: “Back in London, Leslie joined forces with another Anglo-Irish aristocrat, Brinsley le Poer Trench, who as the 8th Earl of Clancarty later promoted a debate on UFOs in the House of Lords. Together they founded Flying Saucer Review. Contributors included C. G. Jung, who published his own book on flying saucers in 1959. Thereafter, Leslie continued to preach the message of the space people…In 1963, he moved back to Castle Leslie, where in a bid to restore its finances he opened a night club, Annabel's on the Bog, and entertained such house guests as Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger.” By all accounts Leslie was a talented musician. Leslie also had a brief television and film screenwriter/directing career). Concerning Castle Leslie: “Throughout the years many a famous face has frequented the house including Irish poet [and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader] WB Yeats, Irish statesman General Michael Collins (an Irish revolutionary leader, president of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, successor organization to the Illuminati/Freemasonic Young Ireland movement of the 1840s which staged the socalled unsuccessful Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848 and precursor organization to the modern-day Irish Republican Army), Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, British astronomer Sir Patrick Moore (again, astronomy goes hand in hand with astrology and magic even at this late date) and the Duc de Valentinois, not to mention various members of the Churchill family (to whom the Leslies are related).”

– Wikipedia: Castle Leslie. No doubt Castle Leslie should be on the list of Illuminati places of interest on any Illuminati travel tour. Of a less than interesting note, in 2002 A.D. McCartney’s marriage to Heather Mills took place on this estate.

Concerning Leslie’s 1968 A.D. UFO convention: “…some influential individuals from the orthodoxy saw that the hippies were receptive to new ideas, and that mercurial aristocrat of flying saucer culture, Desmond Leslie, decided to organise the UK’s first flying saucer convention for them (See FT225:40–47). The conference, held during the summer of 1968 on Lusty Beg Island on Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, was jointly organised by Leslie and Camilla, Countess of Erne (the wife of Eton educated Henry Crichton, 6th Earl Erne, LordLieutenant of Fermanagh since 1986 A.D.; made Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 2012 A.D.). Camilla was a wealthy socialite with an interest in flying saucers who frequented the edges of the Underground. The Lusty Beg event was small, with attendance estimated at about 80 people, but many of those who attended were influential movers and shakers from the Underground, including Nicholas Saunders, editor of Alternative London and founder of the Neal’s Yard shopping complex in Covent Garden. Saunders recalled: “I was fascinated by what John Michell was saying about UFOs and leylines and so on, but felt pretty guarded about it too. I did go to a Flying Saucer conference on an island in the middle of a lake in the northwest of Ireland. There were all these people plodding about in the rain and the mud and there were very serious talks by people who either said that flying saucers had visited, that they’d been on flights themselves or that they’d seen them.” Another key member of the Underground, Neil Oram (See FT217:44–49), was also there (Oram was associated with the London Free School which gave birth to the pagan-inspired Notting Hill Carnival (held annually on the streets of the Royal 379

Borough of Kensington and of Chelsea), the UFO Club (a music venue founded in an Irish dancehall called the Blarney Club) and the International Times underground newspaper for which Barry Miles served as an editor). Oram had morphed from beatnik wanderer to hippie philosopher…Johan Quanjer (a New Age mystic philosopher), another attendee, recalled: ‘[D]ozens of people had descended on the island for fun, jollity and invocation of higher energies’ (read: they gathered to invoke the fallen angels).” - Fortean Times© Oct. 2007: A Saucer Full of Secrets by Andy Roberts. They likely performed a rehash of Crowley’s Amalantrah Working which resulted in Crowley’s signal work The Book of the Law or Parsons’ and Hubbard’s own Babalon Working. As it is written in The Book of the Law, practitioners of magic were instructed to: “Choose…an island” where they were to be given: “a warengine. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you,” the ‘war-engine’ being understood to be a ‘flying saucer.’ This is the reason an island location was chosen for their ritual. It would be interesting to know the identities of the ritualists. It was amongst this circle that Kenneth Anger and the Rolling Stones band-members associated. Perhaps it also included Donald Cammell.

Enter Millen Cooke: “…Millen Cooke's entire body of published science fiction appeared in four short years, between May 1946 and May 1950. Her first marriage (in 1943 A.D.), to a man deeply interested in the occult (1960s counter-culture personality John Starr Cooke), was inclusive of those years. Also during that period, two new real-world beliefs, (L. Ron Hubbard’s) Dianetics and flying saucers, began to evolve out of the work of science fiction writers. Millen Cooke would be involved in both. Millen Cooke’s first husband, John Starr Cooke, was born into a wealthy and prominent family in Honolulu, Hawaii, on March 9, 1920. He became interested in the occult early in life and used a Ouija board to make important decisions, including the decision to marry.

(John Starr) Cooke and Wilma Dorothy Vermilyea (thenceforth known as Millen Cooke) married in 1943 and divorced in 1951…She also wrote science fiction, which remains as a large part of her legacy today. An actor and dancer, (John Starr) Cooke appeared on stage and in movies (as an extra) during the early 1940s and was involved in theosophy, Scientology, and the Bahai faith. He also claimed to own Aleister Crowley's own crystal ball. (John Starr) Cooke lived in North Africa (in spy-saturated Tangier in northern Africa) for many years before returning to the United States in the late 1950s…Cooke became involved in the counter-culture movement in the San Francisco area during the tumultuous '60s. After many years living in Mexico, John Starr Cooke died of cancer on August 21, 1976. Millen's second husband was William Burke Belknap, Jr., a friend and associate of her first.

Like Cooke, Belknap was the scion of a prominent family. Born on December 30, 1923, in Goshen, Kentucky, he graduated from Yale University and worked as a chemical engineer. He became interested in L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics and served as president of the Freudian Foundation of America, Inc., a Scientological organization dating from the early 1950s. He and Millen were married for a brief period during which she was also involved in Scientology. Their marriage ended in divorce, after which he remarried, in 1960. Burke Belknap lived and worked in Oceanside, California, and passed away on November 26, 2010. On June 16, 1961, 380

Millen topped off her marriages to fringe figures when she walked down the aisle with (take a deep breath) The Right Honourable William Francis Brinsley Le Poer Trench, 8th Earl of Clancarty, 7th Marquess of Heusden. Le Poer Trench (19111995) was an Irish peer, a member of Dutch nobility, and a member of the House of Lords. He was also a believer in ancient astronauts, a hollow earth, and flying saucers. Editor of the Flying Saucer Review from 1956 to 1959, Le Poer Trench wrote several books on the subject, including The Sky People (1960),** The Flying Saucer Story (1966), Operation Earth (1969), and Secret of the Ages (1974). Millen, who had been investigating aliens and UFOs for a quarter century, provided some of the concepts and content for Le Poer Trench's first book. Unfortunately, he did not give her credit when The Sky People was published. According to an anonymous source, part of his second book, Men Among Mankind (1962), was hers as well.” – Tellers of Weird Tales: Wilma Dorothy Vermilyea (** The 1960s was a major UFO flap decade: “The great UFO wave of the 1960’s had a visible effect on the youth subculture. The use of hallucinatory drugs often produced visions remarkably similar to the visions of the (UFO) contactees…During the peak years UFO lecturers were in great demand on college campuses, often extracting large fees to spread the gospel of the space people.” - The Flying Saucer Subculture by John A. Keel. By 1967 A.D. no less than thirty books on the subject of UFOs were in print/reprint. One of these books was The Sky People. The Sky People [1960 A.D.] by ufologist Brinsley Le Poer Trench was created in the basic Ancient Astronaut mold [more on this subject later] as he writes: “Stories of the Space People coming to Earth in their golden sky chariots in past ages emanate not only from Greece and the Biblical Lands, but from everywhere on the planet” [See p.104], amongst which group was the “Serpent People” who “came down from earth and walked with men” where they “reigned as kings” and “gave much wisdom to mortals” the “one most worshipped” of whom was “Osiris” (who is the Genesis serpent Azazel) [See p.53]. Le Poer Trench goes on to explain how: “All through the ages…Sky People have been visiting Planet Earth…Today, these extra-terrestrial visitors are to be seen in our skies in their traditional space ships. Some of them are here among us mingling with you in your offices and in your homes. Yes, the occupants of these craft have always been with you. They are with you now, although you pass by them in the street without noticing them” [See pp.172-173]. Le Poer Trench even professes the prophesied coming of the “Buddha Maitraya” (who is in all actuality the false prophet Azazel) to represent “Christ in his Second Appearance” [See The Sky People p.96], thereby revealing a heavy Theosophical Society bent in his writings, and instructs his readers of the fact: “the Sky People are the vanguard of the One [presumably Maitraya] who comes to rule over his kingdom on Earth.” [Ibid p.163])

It was Donald Cammell (Cammell it was believed was Aleister Crowley’s ‘magickal child’), significantly enough, who played the god Osiris in Kenneth Anger’s Egyptian magic-ritual-on-film entitled Lucifer Rising (at the conclusion of this movie a ‘flying saucer’ is seen to slowly fly overhead, the end result of their magic invocation). Kenneth Anger personally knew Donald Cammell, the Rolling Stones band-members as well as Anita Pallenberg, the girlfriend at various times of band members Brian Jones and Keith Richards: “In (Kenneth) Anger, the Rolling Stones saw a short-cut to the spiritually-rebellious chic (Satanism) that was de rigeur in the late 1960s. ‘Kenneth Anger told me I was his right hand man,’ Keith Richards boasted to an interviewer. In the (Rolling) Stones, Anger saw attractively provocative heralds of his new aeon (the Aeon of Horus, who is Azazel). Speaking of Richards, founder member Brian Jones and Anita Pallenberg (a member of the Stone’s entourage who had been a lover of both Jones and Richards) (Pallenberg is 381

herself surrounded by mystery. Of Anita Palleberg Tony Sanchez cryptically notes: “…no one ever seemed to know quite where she came from or who she was” but soon after her timely appearance on the scene “she became the darling of aristrocratic London…invited to society events by people like Lord Harlech and Guiness heir Tara Browne” [with whom they had repeatedly shared LSD experiences].), Anger said, ‘I believe that Anita is, for want of a better word, a witch … The Occult unit within the (Rolling) Stone’s was Keith (Jones) and Anita (Pallenberg) … and Brian (Jones). You see, Brian was a witch too, I’m convinced.

He showed me his witch’s tit (his ‘Devil’s Mark,’ the means by which, Inquisitors maintained, a witch’s familiar, often in the form of a cat, was nourished). He had a supernumerary tit in a very sexy place, on his inner thigh. He said, ‘In another time, they would have burned me (for being a witch).’” – Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley.

In the Underground witchcraft was popular amongst the politically influential London aristrocratic scene. Their connections go much deeper than this. Anger has been a

long-time friend of the Rolling Stones’ band members. Mick Jagger’s girlfriend, Marianne Faithful, a member of The Process Church of the Final Judgment, appeared in the second version of Kenneth Anger’s film Lucifer Rising. Cast members also included: (British-spy-Aleister-Crowley’s-disciple Jack Parson’s neighbor) Kenneth Anger (a member of the OTO in which both Crowley and Parsons were members and who was also a member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan), Donald Cammell (Cammell was one of Aleister Crowley’s old neighbors), Marianne Faithfull (the daughter of a British spy), Myriam Gibril (presumably also a witch), (Charlie Manson Family-member and Anton LaVey-associate) Bobby Beausoleil (Beausoleil and Anger often used to UFO-watch together), Chris Jagger (Rolling Stones’ bandmember Mick Jagger’s younger brother) and (Led Zeppelin’s) Jimmy Page (the owner of Crowley’s old house [Boleskine House] in Scotland and a close acquaintance of Kenneth Anger; Anger once lived with Page for a time). As an extra added bonus, the British Intelligence agent, Crowley-associate and OTO-member Gerald Yorke, a friend of Kenneth Anger, is credited as ‘Thelemic consultant’ for this film. A reasonable person might reasonably deduce that all involved had British Intelligence associations, shades of the Illuminati. As Ed Sanders, author of the Manson Family exposѐ entitled The Family, explained to Maury Terry, author of The Ultimate Evil (p.599): “There were so many investigations going on out there after the (Tate-LaBianca) murders that I began to wonder if the Process (The Process Church of the Final Judgment) was a front for some intelligence operation.” Most indubitably it was. As Terry relates: “Sanders said that the FBI, Israeli intelligence, the California Beverage Control Board, the Los Angeles DA’s office, as well as the LAPD and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, all mounted probes of the Tate murders, with the Treasury Department involved peripherally. And those were the ones he knew about.” Donald Cammell would eventually be suicided with a bullet to the head, the calling card of the cult.

As our story gets weirder and weirder, a note must be made at this time concerning the International City of Tangier: “Tangier has been reputed as a safe house for international spying activities. Its position during the Cold War and other spying periods of the 19th and 20th centuries is legendary. Tangier acquired the reputation of a spying and smuggling centre and attracted foreign capital due to political 382

neutrality and commercial liberty at that time…The multicultural placement of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities and the foreign immigrants attracted writers like Paul Bowles, William S. Burroughs (Burroughs resided in Tangier for four years), Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Tennessee Williams, Brion Gysin (author of The Process) and the music group the Rolling Stones (as well as 60s counterculture stalwarts Michael Bowen and John Star Cooke. Cooke’s forebears were “ardent Theosophists, followers of Madame Blavatsky and Annie Besant, in close contact with Swami Vivekananda and [Jiddu] Krishnamurti”), who all lived in or visited Tangier during different periods of the 20th century…In the 1940s and until 1956 when the city was an International Zone, the city served as a playground for eccentric millionaires, a meeting place for secret agents (as you can see, some things never change as all of the aforementioned individuals are Intelligence spies or Intelligence assets with an Illuminati bent) and all kinds of crooks, and a mecca for speculators and gamblers, an Eldorado for the fun-loving "Haute Volée." During World War II the Office of Strategic Services (the forerunner of the CIA) operated out of Tangier for various operations in North Africa.” – Wikipedia: Tangier Concerning Marlon Brando, star of the critically acclaimed celebration of all things Mafia called The Godfather: “Marlon Brando was born in Omaha, Nebraska, to Marlon Brando, Sr., a pesticide and chemical feed manufacturer, and his wife, Dorothy Julia (née Pennebaker). His parents moved to Evanston, Illinois, but separated when he was eleven years old. His mother took her three children: Jocelyn (1919–2005), Frances (1922–1994) and Marlon, to live with her mother in Santa Ana, California. In 1937, Brando's parents reconciled and moved together to Libertyville, Illinois, north of Chicago. Brando's ancestry included German, Dutch, English, and Irish. His patrilineal ancestor, Johann Wilhelm Brandau, was a German immigrant to New York in the early 1700s. Brando was raised a Christian Scientist…Marlon Brando, Sr., was a talented amateur photographer. His wife, known as Dodie, was unconventional but talented, having been an actress. She smoked, wore trousers, and drove cars, unusual for women at the time (crazy enough, some witches adhered to a quirky habit of wearing men’s clothes). However, she was an alcoholic and often had to be brought home from Chicago bars by her husband; she finally joined Alcoholics Anonymous (where we find the Spiritist Bill Wilson). Dodie Brando (a friend of Henry Fonda’s mother, Elma Fonda) acted and was a theater administrator. She helped Henry Fonda to begin his acting career, and fueled her son Marlon's interest in stage acting. However, Brando was closer to his maternal grandmother, Bessie Gahan Pennebaker Meyers, than to his mother.

Widowed while young, Meyers worked as a secretary and later as a Christian Science practitioner. Her father, Myles Gahan, was a doctor from Ireland; her mother, Julia Watts, was from England…In Songs My Mother Taught Me, Brando claimed he met Marilyn Monroe at a party where she played piano, unnoticed by anybody else there, and they had an affair and maintained an intermittent relationship for many years, receiving a telephone call from her several days before she died…In 1946, Brando showed his dedication to the Jewish desire for a homeland by performing in Ben Hecht's Zionist play "A Flag is Born" (the same Ben Hecht as you’ll remember of which it was said: “Ben Hecht did more to help Jewish refugees from the Holocaust and to ensure the survival of the nascent State of Israel than any 383

other American Jew in the twentieth century,” who was an associate of the Youth Movement leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky’s friend Hillell Kook). Brando's involvement had an impact on three of the most contentious issues of the early postwar period: the fight to establish a Jewish state, the smuggling of Holocaust survivors to Israel, and the battle against racial segregation in the United States…Brando attended some fundraisers for John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election. In August 1963, Brando participated in the March on Washington along with fellow celebrities Harry Belafonte, James Garner, Charlton Heston, Burt Lancaster, and Sidney Poitier.

Brando also, along with Paul Newman, participated in the freedom rides (“Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who rode interstate buses into the segregated southern United States to test the United States Supreme Court [segregationist] decisions Boynton v. Virginia (1960) and Morgan v. Virginia.” - Wikipedia).” – Wikipedia: Marlon Brando (“Ever since World War II, California has been strangely plagued by wild men on motorcycles. They usually travel in groups of ten to thirty, booming along the highways and stopping here are there to get drunk and raise hell.

In 1947, hundreds of them ran amok in the town of Hollister, an hour's fast drive south of San Francisco, and got enough press to inspire a film called The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando. The film had a massive effect on thousands of young California motorcycle buffs; in many ways, it was their version of The Sun Also Rises.” – The Nation: The Motorcycle Club by Hunter S. Thompson (Thompson lived at 318 Parnassus in Haight-Ashbury))

As we learn from Wikipedia concerning the Civil Rights Movement: “Many in the Jewish community supported the Civil Rights Movement. In fact, statistically Jews were one of the most actively involved non-black groups in the Movement… Jews made up roughly half of the white northern volunteers involved in the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer project and approximately half of the civil rights attorneys active in the South during the 1960s. Jewish leaders were arrested while heeding a call from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in St. Augustine, Florida, in June 1964, where the largest mass arrest of rabbis in American history took place at the Monson Motor Lodge…Abraham Joshua Heschel, a writer, rabbi and professor of theology at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York was outspoken on the subject of civil rights. He marched arm-in-arm with Dr. King in the 1965 March on Selma. In the Mississippi Burning murders of 1964, the two white activists killed, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, were both Jewish…The American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, and Anti-Defamation League actively promoted civil rights.” – Wikipedia: African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968). Indeed: “From the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, Blacks and Jews marched arm-in-arm. In 1909, W.E.B. Dubois, Julius Rosenthal, Lillian Wald, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, Stephen Wise and Henry Malkewitz formed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). One year later other prominent Jewish and Black leaders created the Urban League. Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington worked together in 1912 to improve the educational system for Blacks in the South…About 50 percent of the civil rights attorneys in the South during the 1960s were Jews…” - PBS Documentary: From Swastika to Jim Crow. Even the Jewish physicist Albert Einstein was himself a member of the Princeton chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of 384

Colored People (NAACP) and as such communicated with NAACP co-founder W. E. B. Du Bois, who had been one of William James’s students at Harvard University.

Du Bois had been a member of the three-person delegation from the NAACP that attended the 1945 A.D. conference in San Francisco in California at which time the reknowned United Nations was intially established.** However, the creation of the Black Pathers revolutionary group (possibly by design?) served to drive a wedge between the historically close Jewish and African-American relationship as they began to target even the Jews. In fact: “With black militancy on the rise, ghetto residents directed acts of anger at the police. Black residents growing tired of police brutality continued to riot. Some young people joined groups such as the Black Panthers, whose popularity was based in part on their reputation for confronting police officers. Riots (including L.A.s Watts Riots) among blacks occurred in 1966 and 1967 in cities such as Atlanta, San Francisco, Oakland, Baltimore, Seattle, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Newark, Chicago, New York City (specifically in Brooklyn, Harlem and the Bronx), and worst of all in Detroit.” – Wikipedia: AfricanAmerican Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968). Such racial violence gave rise to ‘white flight’ from the cities as whites saught the safety of the suburbs. One case in point is the ‘white flight’ from the city of San Francisco to neighboring North Beach resulting in the Beatnik/Hippie odyssey into the Haight-Ashbury area. (**Another participant in the 1945 A.D. San Francisco conference which drafted the United Nations charter was Claiborne Pell (1918 –2009 A.D.) who would later become a United States Senator from Rhode Island (1961 – 1997 A.D.): “Perhaps the most avid, some would say fanatical, New Agers in Congress (circa 1991 A.D.), Pell, a Democrat from Rhode Island, is chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He is a vocal advocate of psychic research and according to U.S. News & World Report, his bookcase in his private capitol office is crammed with occult books such as The Astral Body, which examines out-ofbody experiences. Pell, who admits he frequents spirit mediums, has befriended such New Age notables as psychic magician Uri Geller and the late Theosophy/Hindu philosopher Krishnamurti, who once was thought to be the New Age ‘christ.’” – UFO End-Time Delusion

by Lewis/Shreckhise, 1991 A.D. The number of occultists involved in the creation of the United Nations is nothing short of amazing)

From various Wikipedia selections we learn of: “The Revolutionary Youth Movement…section of Students for a Democratic Society…Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was a student activist movement in the United States that was one of the main iconic representations of the country's New Left. The organization developed and expanded rapidly in the mid-1960s before dissolving at its last convention in 1969. A faction of SDS formed the Weather Underground, identified by the FBI as a "domestic terrorist group." …Following Timothy Leary's Weather Underground assisted prison escape, Leary stayed with (African-American Civil Rights leader Eldridge) Cleaver in Algeria...Cleaver was a prominent member of the Black Panthers, having the titles Minister of Information, and Head of the International Section of the Panthers while in exile in Cuba and Algeria.” Needless to say there was something amiss in the realms of La La Land: “In September 1970, the (Weather Underground) group took a $20,000 payment from a psychedelics distribution organization called The Brotherhood of Eternal Love to break LSD advocate Timothy Leary out of prison (concerning this episode Gary Lachman writes: “The money for the escape had been put up by the psychedelic mafia, the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, with whom Leary had often dropped acid on their 385

Idylwild Ranch near Palm Springs, scanning the skies for UFOs.” – p.191 Turn Off Your Mind). Leary joined Eldridge Cleaver in Algeria (in North Africa near Tangier)” (according to the authors of Raven: The Untold Story of Reverend Jim Jones and His People, Jim Jones visited Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton in Havana, Cuba during the late 1970s. It is said Jones was a CIA asset, and presumably, Newton was also) – Wikipedia: Weather Underground. Concerning the Brotherhood of Eternal Love: “The Brotherhood of Eternal Love were a spiritual, drug-based group whose foundations were established on the belief over the mindaltering benefits of the drug LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide). The group was composed of local surfers, drug users and affluent people from Orange County, Los Angeles and the Pasadena area, Saratoga and San Francisco. Most were vegetarians (such as were Charles Manson and the members of the Manson Family).

Many of them continued to practice their own version of Christianity (case in point: the beliefs of Charles Manson and the Manson Family which espoused an amalgamation of beliefs including magic, witchcraft, yoga, Christianity, Buddhism and Scientology) while opening research into Self Realization Paramahansa Yogananda Hinduism (which is to say, Yoga, including the teachings of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali/Azazel), Vajrayana Buddhism (they were involved with what was known as the Self-Realization Fellowship [founded 1942 A.D.] which Temple is located at 4860 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA. The Altadena-born inner-circle Manson Family-member Leslie Van Houten had previously been involved with this group [See p.100 The Family by Ed Sanders] [as had Mark Prophet].

In September of 1968 A.D., Van Houten moved with her boyfriend Bobby Beausoleil to Spahn Movie Ranch to commune with Charles Manson. She was later convicted of having participated in the LaBianca murders), and other indigenous (Native American) or Eastern religions. After the French Quarter Apartments and Majestic Canyon church burnt down the group (The Brotherhood of Eternal Love) was headquartered in the Mystic Arts World bookstore (where Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert and Hell’s Angels members were known to regularly hang out. See Orange Sunshine by Nicholas Schou) on Pacific Coast Highway (in Laguna Beach) and The Aquarian Temple BEL on Waller St. in the Haight Ashbury San Francisco (“The Aquarian Temple BEL [a branch of the Brotherhood Of Eternal Love] in the Haight Ashbury funded the Diggers food fests, the renovation of the Straight Theater, funded the Free Clinic [the Haight-Ashbury Medical Clinic], Gay Press, was on police community relations in the Haight Ashbury and distributed LSD for Owsley and the Orange Sunshine (brand of LSD) for BEL, free at most concerts and love ins.” – Wikipedia. According to a press release published by Counterpoint for founding Digger member Peter Coyote’s (ne Cohon, aka Peter Berg, an army veteran; later an actor friend of Dennis Hopper no less!) book entitled Sleeping Where I Fall we learn: “Out of the Sixties counterculture explosion came a radical street group called the Diggers who became the heart and soul of the Haight-Ashbury experience…They began to distribute free food, provide free medical care and sponsor free rock concerts in Golden Gate Park featuring musicians like the Grateful Dead.” To fill the ranks of the radical Youth Movement of the day kids were enticed with a clarion call to come to San Francisco wearing flowers in their hair by the rock group The Mommas and the Pappas (with a little help from their friends with a Life© Magazine article). Charles Manson was known to have associated with members of the Diggers group, and as we learn Maury Terry in The Ultimate Evil p.606, with members of The Process Church of the Final Judgment as well. I believe we would not be remiss to say he was also a part of The Eternal Brotherhood of Love umbrella group). At that time,

386

Laguna Beach (the Southern California version of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury where was located the Mystic Arts World bookstore) was a common stopping point for those traveling south from Haight-Ashbury (in San Francisco) to Mexico.

Timothy Leary, the excommunicated Harvard psychology lecturer and devotee of free love (and noted for the phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out"), became the godfather of the group. For several years, their psychedelic activities were underwritten by selling high-quality marijuana. As business expanded, they decided to see if they could build a national distribution network. Farmer John and Chuck Scott bought a new station wagon, loaded it up with kilo bricks of marijuana and drove from Laguna Beach to the Holland Tunnel (in the New York area). They took almost six weeks to move the load because New York's hippie market for marijuana at the time of their arrival was small and informal. Eddy Martistich, Chuck Mundal and George Dumes brought 500 Lbs of Mexican pot to San Francisco to the Aquarian Temple BEL in a Pink Cadillac Distribution of the Brotherhood's first wholesale loads began the creation of an entirely new market and sales pyramid (which included Charles Manson and the drug peddling/drug running inner circle of the Manson Family). After sales prospered, the Brotherhood began to send researchers around the world to look into purchasing opportunities. Red Lebanese and black Afghan hashish were favored because of their strength, perfumes, and popularity among buyers in the USA. Other varieties of hashish were also purchased and imported in volume. At a certain point, the cash flow was more than sufficient for them to set up their own laboratory in which to manufacture LSD. Bobby Ackerly and Charles Morgan BEL Members owned the Euphoria Art Gallery with Bob Thomas and the Bear (nickname of Augustus Owsley Stanley III) when he had his lab in Pasadena 1965-66. The elder chemist was the bright and quirky (Augustus) Owsley Stanley (III), nicknamed "Bear" (from whence is derived, I might add, the Grateful Dead’s psychedelic trails ‘Dancing Bear’ logo)…With funds from their hashish smuggling, the organization produced and distributed large amounts of the legendary "Orange Sunshine" LSD… A 1972 Rolling Stone article dubbed them the ‘Hippie Mafia.’” – Wikipedia: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love. And despite bombings targeting the United States Capitol Building (1971 A.D.) and the Pentagon (1972 A.D.), as well as the bombing of a police station resulting in the death of a New York City police seargent (1970 A.D.), charges were later dropped against the Weather Underground Leaders in 1973 A.D., one of the reasons cited was the government was ‘remiss to reveal the foreign intelligence secrets such a trial would require.’ Were CIA links to members of these groups to be found amongst the MKULTRA documents destroyed by the CIA, the public disclosure of which “could induce serious adverse reaction in U.S. public opinion”? One may only speculate.

Charles Manson’s Family was known to have been involved in LSD and other drug sales at this time. In all probability he was one of the drug dealers for this group.

Manson made it a habit to surround himself with famous people and children of the rich (case in point: Folgers coffee fortune heiress Abigail Folger, a lesser known Manson Family murder victim whom he met in San Francisco). Manson also had something of an occult following; people would hear about him and search him out.

People were always coming and going on his commune (as would be expected with a well known drug dealer! Manson also pimped out his girls; he once spent time in jail for this offense). And as the evidence itself would suggest, he often made home deliveries to a lot of big names in show business. Indeed, the Spahn Movie Ranch 387

where Manson’s group resided for a time was: “…located in heavy dope traffic country. The communes of the northwest San Fernando Valley at that time were warehouses for the L.A. dope trade.” - p.92 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D. Consider also the following little nugget of investigative journalism: “In the summer of 1964, Beat novelist Ken Kesey (the author of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and who had been an MK-ULTRA test subject at Stanford along with Allen Ginsberg and Grateful Dead musician Bob Hunter) launched a yearlong cross-country trip in a Day-Glo painted school bus filled with friends called "Merry Pranksters." The Merry Pranksters distributed thousands of doses of LSD along the way (a phenomenon colorfully described in author Tom Wolfe’s 1969 novel, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test) supplied by one Ronald Hadley Stark. Stark (who died in 1984) was a CIA operative fluent in five languages with access to unlimited public funds and numerous high-level contacts in business and government throughout the world. For instance, when the underground manufacture and distribution of LSD was suddenly derailed in 1969 due to the scarcity of its key ingredient, ergotamine tartrate, and increasing federal law enforcement pressure, Stark, via the Laguna Beach, Calif.-based Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a small group of local surfers led by chemist Nicholas Sand, got it quickly back on track. For five years, Stark, aided by the Castle Bank of the Bahamas (which pioneered the art of money laundering for the Mob) and his contacts in a French pharmaceutical firm, facilitated the mass production and distribution (via the Brotherhood and other groups) an even more powerful strain of LSD nicknamed "orange sunshine." This firm also manufactured BZ (10,000 times more powerful than LSD). Stark (who operated LSD labs in Brussels and Paris as well) claimed he was going to supply orange sunshine as an offensive weapon to CIA-backed Tibetan rebels fighting the Chinese occupation. Stark also was a close friend of the Los Angeles founders of a small breakaway Scientology sect called "The Process Church of the Final Judgement," English expatriates Robert DeGrimston Moore and Mary Ann McClean.

Regular attendees of the Process Church included members of the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones and other prominent pop performers as well as an ex-convict and wannabe rock musician named Charles Manson. Manson and his followers became heavy users of orange sunshine – the trademark "bad acid" of the day – which they were all on when, on Manson’s orders, they carried out the brutal August 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders. When Stark (who is believed to have distributed an estimated 50 million doses of LSD during his Agency career) was arrested for drug trafficking in Bologna in 1975, Italian magistrate Giorgio Floridia ordered his release on the grounds that he had been a CIA agent since 1960. Judge Floridia documented and justified this using a list of Stark’s numerous intelligence contacts.” - How the US Government Created the "Drug Problem" in the USA by Michael E. Kreca, April 19, 2001 A.D.: “Michael E. Kreca lives in San Diego and has been a financial reporter for KnightRidder, Business Week and the Financial Times of London”) (“Manson is known to have dabbled with Scientology…Vincent Bugliosi claims also that his teachings had some surprising similarities to those of The Process Church of the Final Judgment, the notorious occult sect of Robert de Grimston. In 1963, Grimston, then known as Robert Moore and Mary Ann Lean had met at the Hubbard Institute of Scientology, on Fitzroy Street, London. Both were training to be "auditors." They married soon after, and in 1964 left Scientology to set up their own system, Compulsions Analysis. They also adopted the name de Grimston. In 1966 (the same year LaVey also inaugurated his Church of Satan in San Francisco), the cult decamped to Xtul, Mexico, on the north coast of Yucatan. There they apparently discovered Satan. Returning to London in 1967 and funded by a member’s inheritance, they turned their Mayfair mansion into a Satanic palace, with all-night coffee bar, movie house and book store, where they sold issues of their magazine, The Process, devoted to Hitler, Satan and gore.

Processeans went around in black capes, turtlenecks and silver crosses. They held telepathy classes and preached the coming apocalypse. They approached pop musicians as possible converts. Mick Jagger’s then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull posed in the infamous 'Fear' issue of The Process magazine in 1967 (“[Marianne] Faithfull was born in Hampstead, London. Her

388

father, Major Robert Glynn Faithfull [an Allied spy recurrently dropped behind enemy lines during World War II], was a British military officer and college professor in psychology.” – Wikipedia: Maryanne Faithful). The legendary bandleader Graham Bond got also involved with The Process and died in mysterious circumstances under a tube (train) at Finsbury Park station. Late ’67 The Process hit the States, in LA sidling up to members of the West Coast rock establishment—and Charlie Manson.” - rosemary - the connection between mia farrow, sharon tate, charlie manson and the beatles. The moral of the story: The Process = British intelligence). The CIA-associated Timothy Leary, upon taking leave of Algiers [where he had performed some homosexual OTO sex-magic rituals with a British occultist named Brian Barritt] and the Weather Underground, Leary ended up of course in the Illuminati bastion of Switzerland at the residence of an international arms dealer and drug/occult enthusiast named Michel Hauchard where he was joined by partners in crime and fellow practitioners of magic Richard Alpert (at that time known as Baba Ram Dass), Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones and Anita Pallenberg (See pp.195, 196 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman). You don’t say.

The Hell’s Angels is a group notoriously known for their involvement in drug sales. This probably explains the Hell’s Angels association with Ken Kesey and company and the reason for the Hell’s Angels presence at so many Acid Test parties and other such music concerts where drugs are always prevalent. Bikers did in fact control the Haight-Ashbury LSD market (a brief history of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club is in order. The Hell’s Angels motorcycle club [founded 1948 A.D., today it boasts of more than one hundred chapters spread over 29 countries including London, England] received its name from a suggestion by Arvid Olson who was an associate of Hell’s Angels motorcycle club founders, Olson having served in the Flying Tigers "Hells Angels" squadron in China during World War II [they derived this name from the Howard Hughes’ film entitled Hell’s Angels (1930 A.D.)].

Another member of the Flying Tigers "Hells Angels" squadron of note was an ‘Ace’ pilot named Charles Older who after World War II earned himself a law degree, became a California judge and was appointed to the bench of the Los Angeles Superior Court by then California Governor Ronald Reagan in 1967 A.D. and later was chosen to preside over the murder trial of Charles Manson. Speaking of small worlds… “It never hurts,” as the old saying goes, “to have a man on the inside”).

It is also important to note the Weather Underground operated their bomb making factory out of a safehouse in Greenwich Village the previous owner of which was Merrill Lynch brokerage firm founder Charles Merrill and his son, the poet James Merrill? Merrill who was, as we learn from Wikipedia: “author of The Changing Light at Sandover (1982), (which) documents two decades of messages dictated from otherworldly spirits during Ouija séances (which would have begun in the early 1960s) hosted by Merrill and his (life) partner David Noyes Jackson.” Of course the elephant in the room is the fact that so many players in our drama were gay and were gay rights activists as well as being spiritists/practitioners of magic.

Greenwich Village in New York was where a lot of gays congregated (as was also the case with San Francisco). It should be remembered Greenwich Village was the headquarters of Aleister Crowley’s Order of the OTO which he established there when he alighted on America’s shores. Crowley OTO magic rituals included sex magic rituals involving homosexual sex practices, providing yet another motive for the Illuminati’s avowed intention to destroy Christianity. The Catholic Church was 389

along with most other Christian creeds, vehemently anti-gay/anti-gay marriage, and remain so even today. Prior to the ’60s one was even liable to be arrested for being involved in such homosexual relations.

It would seem the the Laurel Canyon Log Cabin was one of the properties owned by the Solar Lodge OTO (or perhaps even the CIA, which in all probability represented the same individuals). The Log Cabin itself was a stately mansion with guest house situated like a sentinel located in the heart of Laurel Canyon at the strategic crossroads of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Lookout Mountain Avenue along which path one had travel to arrive at the super-secretive Lookout Mountain Laboratory. Hollywood’s Young Turks OTO members no doubt named it after Horace Greeley’s abolitionist newspaper called the Log Cabin. Greeley in fact was also the publisher of the Youth Movement’s Young America group newspaper, the New York Tribune whose foreign correspondents included Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, both members of the radical Prussian left-wing revolutionary Young Hegelians Youth Movement group. Given the Youth Movement’s historical penchant for assassinations, it is not outside the realm of possibilities that this Young Turks Laurel Canyon group was in some way involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy. Robert Kennedy was murdered by a Pasadena resident named Sirhan Sirhan, a known AMORC member.

AMORC is essentially a sister organization to the OTO which did in fact operate a lodge in Pasadena. Non-coincidentally enough: “In May ’68 Roman Pulaski attended the Cannes Film Festival. At the same time the students of France (an anarchist youth movement) revolted and nearly toppled the government. Polanski, in solidarity, resigned from the festival jury. Less than a month later, on June 5, 1968, Roman (Polanski) and Sharon Tate (whose father was a high-ranking army Intelligence officer) and friends dined with Robert Kennedy at a beach house in Malibu (CA). After dinner, Senator Kennedy was driven to the Ambassador Hotel where he was shot (read: where he was assassinated by AMORC member Sirhan Sirhan).” - p.86 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D. I say ‘non-coincidentally’ as there is no such thing as coincidence. Apparently Kennedy was a victim of inside information. Polanski-wife Sharon Tate and Co. were later murdered by the Manson Family, ordered to do so by Charles Manson. Who ordered Charlie to do so is anybody’s conjecture. Perhaps Overshadowing angels. At any rate, Sharon Tate was expected to be away visiting with friends on the night of the Manson Family murders. At the last moment she decided to stay home. Another Manson victim, Jay Sebring, was the man whose girlfriend, namely Sharon Tate, Roman Polanski had reportedly stolen, impregnated and married (See p.84 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D.). These were the Swinging Sixties. Jay Sebring, a Navy vet and hairstylist to the stars as it turns out is quite the interesting character: “Frank Sinatra (who was bald and wore a toupѐ) used to fly (Jay) Sebring to Las Vegas to cut his hair” (See p.234 The Family by Ed Sanders) and “Actors and singers and business men used to play chess in Sebring’s shop (in Hollywood).” – Ibid p.234 (Clients of Sebring included Laurel Canyon resident Jim Morrison of The Doors). Either $50 haircuts were all the rage in the 1960s or perhaps Sebring was a drug mule/dealer for the mob. Sebring also owned a shop in San Francisco (as well as New York and London), and kept a houseboat in San Francisco Bay where the career US Army intelligence officer Lt. Col. Paul Tate father of Sharon Tate stayed whenever he 390

came to San Francisco (See p.234 The Family by Ed Sanders). Jay Sebring (a member of the Church of Satan) was a friend of Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski and was a staple of the Polanski circle of friends which frequented the Polanski manor, as was a man named Voityck Frykowski, a resident of the Polanski home who along with Sebring and Sharon Tate would be violently slaughtered by members of the Manson Family. To quote Ed Sanders: “…several friends from Canada promised him (Frykowki) samples of a new drug called Methlenedioxylamphetamine or MDA, a euphoric stimulant with overtones of aphrodisia that was coming into vogue. According to police reports, Frykowski was being set up to serve as a wholesaler of quantities of MDA manufactured in Toronto. Both Mr. Frykowski and Miss (Abigail) Folger (another Manson murder victim) were enjoying MDA on the night they died (MDA: “…is mainly used as a recreational drug, an entheogen [used in Shamanistic magic rituals], and a tool in use to supplement various types of practices for transcendence, including in meditation, psychonautics, and as an agent in psychedelic psychotherapy.” – Wikipedia: MDA). In mid-July (of 1969 A.D.) Frykowki’s friends from Canada went to Ocho Rios, Jamaica allegedly to create some sort of movie project was a front for a large marijuana import operation involving private planes secretly winging the dope to the United States via Florida and Mexico (possibly as part of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization). Investigations into the operation after the (Tate) murders resulted in one of the biggest dope busts in Jamaican history (circa. 1971 A.D.).” – pp.232-3 The Family by Ed Sanders. Something was amiss, for within the month members of the American connection would be lying dead in the enchanted home of Hollywood director Roman Polanski. And it was all designed to look as if black revolutionaries were perpetrators of the crime (As Maury Terry relates in The Ultimate Evil p.599: “Frykowski was the motive. He had stung his own suppliers for a fair amount of money and that didn’t go down well at all with the people at the top of the drug scene here (one of these ‘people at the top of the drug scene’ was an “Israeli who had strong links to the international intelligence community,” a U.S./Israeli Intellgence asset “suspected by some of being an operative for the Soviet Union,” a real life double-agent). And to make it worse, he was upsetting the structure of the LSD marketplace by dealing independently. He was a renegade.”).

The shooting of Bernard Crowe by Charles Manson was also drug related, and Manson has also said that the Gary Hinman murder was likewise drug related, that Hinman was killed because he knew too much. As we learn from Ed Sanders: “Hinman had a small setup at his house where he made quantities of synthetic mescaline. A young married couple who lived with Gary (Hinman) right up to several days before his death were partners with him in the manufacture of the mescaline…Gary had a degree in chemistry.” It would seem Charlie Manson was one of the “middlemen” who picked up drugs from secret laboratories engaged in narcotics production who would then convey the drugs to biker gang members such as the Hell’s Angels and the Straight Satans “who controlled most of the street-level distribution of chemical narcotics in the L.A. area at the time” (See p.598 The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry; one of the leaders of the Straight Satans even lived with Manson at his commune). It would also seem this was the set-up in many other towns and cities along the California coast such as San Francisco as well, particularly in the Haight-Ashbury area itself.

Inner-circle Manson Family-member Bruce Davis (Davis was convicted as 391

an accomplice in the Gary Hinman murder) was associated with the Church of Scientology’s Hubbard Institute of Scientology commune in London, England (the same place where the founding members of The Process Church of the Final Judgment originated) who traveled to London on Manson’s orders to meet with members of The Process Church only to return shortly thereafter. Davis, Manson’s second in command, was suspected in the London murder of a disenchanted Scientologist which may shed a light on the reason for his trip. Manson during his fourteen years involved with the Underworld seems to have been somewhat of a mob enforcer, a hitman for hire (he is suspected of being involved in upwards of some 35 murders; prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi thought this to be a low estimate). At any rate, as a result of police investigations in the murder at the Tate’s: “U.S. Treasury agents investigated aspects of drug traffic to see if there was any pattern of interstate trafficking. In the days following the murders there were large-scale cocaine arrests around the country which have been linked to the reverberations resulting from the murder investigation. Police traveled around the country administering polygraph examinations. They even went to England to interrogate suspects.” – The Family pp.328-9. “A private investigator who worked on the case for the family of one of the decedents for months after the murders told this writer (Ed Sanders) that the motive for the crimes was that ‘they knew too much about what was going on.’” – Ibid pp.334-5. And as everybody knows, dead men tell no tales.

One major figure in the Charles Manson-associated Laurel Canyon music saga of the day was singer/songwriter Frank Zappa of the music group Mothers of Invention, whose father Francis Zappa was a chemical warfare specialist at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland, home of America’s chemical warfare program.

Edgewood Arsenal is a facility which is frequently cited as being a hotbed of MKULTRA operations.

In the 1950s during the days of MKULTRA experimentation the Zappas moved west to California where his father became engaged in classified work at Edwards Airforce Base (allegedly also a center of Satanic worship). Frank Zappa’s wife’s father was involved with classified nuclear weapons research for the U.S. Navy. No doubt he had dealings with the Lookout Mountain Laboratory. Bobby Beausoliel was one of Frank Zappa’s friends, even providing voiceovers on Zappa’s first album (See INTERVIEWS WITH BOBBY BEAUSOLEIL 1998-9 by Michael Moynihan for Seconds Magazine).

Laurel Canyon resident and Hollywood actress Doris Day [Day, who associated with Gerald Heard’s friend Christopher Isherwood, was known to frequent Swami Prabhavananda’s ashram in Hollywood, CA] starred in Young at Heart (1954 A.D.) with Frank Sinatra and would later replace Marilyn Monroe in Something's Got to Give (1962 A.D.) featuring Sinatra’s Rat Pack friend Dean Martin when Marilyn Monroe died mid-film. Day was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom [the highest honor which can be bestowed upon a civilian] by President George W. Bush, no doubt for the clandestine activities with which she was involved and not for her work with dogs as is usually stated. Doris Day’s son, music producer Terry Melcher was a majordomo in Hollywood’s Laurel Canyon scene as he had associations with Roman Polanski, all of the Laurel Canyon musicians, the Manson Family, the Vito Paulekas dance troupe as well as with the group of young Hollywood actors known as ‘The Young Turks.’

There also existed an organization called the Order of the Solar Temple which was in fact a murder/suicide cult (it was said mass murderer Charlie Manson was a member of the Solar Temple OTO). Murders and suicides were the order of the day on the Laurel Canyon scene, deaths which like those associated with the Order of the Solar Temple ‘occurred around the dates of the equinoxes and solstices.’ Such murder/suicides would represent sacrifices in occult magic rituals (Concerning the Order of the Solar Temple: “In October 1994 Tony Dutoit's infant son (Emmanuel Dutoit), aged three months, was killed at the group's (Order of the Solar Temple) centre in Morin Heights, Quebec. The baby had been stabbed repeatedly with a wooden stake. It is believed that Di Mambro ordered the murder, because he identified the baby as the Anti-Christ described in the Bible. He believed that the Anti-Christ was born into the order to prevent Di Mambro from succeeding in his spiritual aim. A few days later, Di Mambro and twelve followers performed a ritual Last Supper. A few days after that, apparent mass suicides and murders were conducted at Cheiry and Salvan, two villages in Western Switzerland, and at Morin Heights — 15 inner circle members committed suicide with poison, 30 were killed by bullets or smothering, and 8 others were killed by other causes. In Switzerland, many of the victims were found in a secret underground chapel lined with mirrors and other items of Templar symbolism. The bodies were dressed in the order's ceremonial robes and were in a circle, feet together, heads outward, most with plastic bags tied over their heads; they had each been shot in the head. It is believed that the plastic bags were a symbol of the ecological disaster that would befall the human race after the OTS members moved on to Sirius. It is also believed that these bags were used as part of the OTS rituals, and that members would have voluntarily worn them without being placed under duress. There was also evidence that many of the victims in Switzerland were drugged before they were shot. Other victims were found in three ski chalets; several dead children were lying together … All the suicide/murders and attempts occurred around the dates of the equinoxes and solstices in some relation to the beliefs of the group. Another massacre related to the OTS took place during the night between the 15 and 16 December 1995. 16 people were shot in a field, in Vercors, France, and their corpses burned down. It was found later that 2 of them shot the others and then committed suicide by firearm and immolation. On the morning of March 23, 1997, five members of the OTS took their own lives in Saint-Casimir, Quebec. A small house exploded into flames, leaving behind five charred bodies for the police to pull from the rubble. Three teenagers aged 13, 14 and 16, the children of one of the couples that died in the fire, were discovered in a shed behind the house, alive but heavily drugged. Michael Tabachnik, an internationally renowned Swiss musician and conductor, was arrested as a leader of the Solar Temple in the late 1990s.” - Wikipedia: Order of the Solar Temple. According to Dr. Massimo Introvigne: “…the Sovereign Order of the Solar Temple (OSTS). OSTS' origins date back to the so called "Arginy Renaissance", a mystical experience of June 12, 1952, when French esoteric author Jacques Breyer (19221996) and two companions were contacted by secret "Masters of the Temple" and asked to establish a "Templar Renaissance." The "Renaissance" eventually materialized—after many years of esoteric activity by Breyer and his friends—into the OSTS, established on June 24, 1966 (the same year as the Church of Satan was incorporated in America) and incorporated under Monaco law in 1967. Monaco was selected because the Grand Master hand-picked by Breyer for the OSTS was Jean-Louis Marsan (1923-1982), a Monaco socialite and a friend of Prince Ranier III. While Ranier and Grace (American actress Grace Kelly) did know Marsan, there is no evidence that they were members of the OSTS or ever set foot in the OSTS center of Villié-Morgon. Even if they did visit Villié-Morgon, this does not make Grace a member of the OTS. OSTS and OTS were two different organizations. It is true that Marsan and Di Mambro knew each other and that on March 21, 1981 they met in Geneva in order to discuss a merger between the OSTS and still another neo-Templar order, the Renewed Order of the Temple (ORT). The latter had been originally incorporated in 1970 by (the Jewish French film

393

maker) Raymond Bernard (b. 1923), at that time a prominent leader of the Rosicrucian order AMORC. Since 1972 the leader of the ORT was Julien Origas (1920-1983). OSTS and ORT both recognized the "Arginy Renaissance" as genuine and kept in touch with Breyer.

Eventually after the death of Origas (1983) the ORT experienced a schism. The faction who recognized Luc Jouret (1947-1994) as Grand Master did not have the legal right to use the name ORT and eventually re-incorporated under a succession of names leading to "Order of the Solar Temple". Since 1982 (Luc) Jouret, a Belgian homeopathic doctor, was a close associate of Di Mambro. It is easy to confuse the different neo-Templar orders.” - ©Dr. Massimo Introvigne and CESNUR (Center for Studies on New Religions), January 1998 A.D.)

Chicago Mafiosa including Al Capone-Enforcer Frank Nitty and others racketeers including Lucky Luciano attained a great deal of power in Hollywood through control of America’s trade unions including that of the nation’s projectionists union (whereby they could shut down nearly every movie theatre in the country) and through other such criminal extortion rackets. Concerning magicpracticing Italian Mafioso, there is a long-tradition of Italian witchcraft called Stegheria, centered upon the Roman ‘Lares’ who represent the fallen angels from whom its practitioners believed to be descended, and also, a Roman Catholic Church-influenced form of witchcraft called Stregoneria. And let us not forget the Dianic Cult of Herodias and the witch-cult Aradia. Alessandro Cagliostro was a famous Italian/Sicilian magic-practicing high-degree Freemason, as was most significantly the Youth Movement creator/Mafia-founder Giuseppe Mazzini. Recall it was the Spiritualist medium H.P. Blavatsky who was initiated into the conspiratorial organization known as the Carboneri by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1856 A.D. prior to her founding the magic-practicing group known as the Theosophical Society. Founded in early 19th-century Italy, the Freemasonic Carboneri consisted of groups of revolution spawning secret societies, all united under the auspices of the Great Work instituted by the greater Theosophical Movement (of which thev Illuminati was a part). All of these activities seem simply a continuation of this long-term Illuminati plan. It is said the Carboneri were (and no doubt, like many practitioners of magic, still are) in communication with the “devil and his angels.”

And Rome of course, was the center for the worship of many pagan gods serviced by priests and priestesses who were practitioners of magic.

Yet another denizen of Hollywood which starred in a movie with a Hell’s Angelstheme was the Platinum Bombshell Jean Harlow, star of the movie entitled of course Hell's Angels (a Howard Hughes film. Hughes took aeronautical engineering courses at CalTech. In fact, Jack Parsons was employed at one point in time at Howard Hughes’ Hughes Aircraft Company. Hughes’ Culver City, CA company was a major World War II aerospace defense contractor whose company recieved many U.S. Airforce contracts of a highly-classified nature. Hundreds of movies such as The Wizard of Oz and E.T. the Extra Terrestrial have been filmed in Culver City’s Los Angeles County film studios). Jean Harlow, an early occupant of the Laurel Canyon area (which area was entirely government Intelligence-based), was Godmother to Bugsy Siegel’s daughter, Millicent (as related by Kenneth Anger in Hollywood Babylon, upon Bugsy Siegel’s arrival into Hollywood: “Through his pal George Raft [“Siegel grew up in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, side by side with George Raft;; this boyhood friendship developed into a lifelong association.”], Siegel 394

was introduced to the crème of Hollywood society, and was soon hobnobbing with Richard Barthelmess, Jean Harlow [with whom John F. Kennedy’s father Joe Kenned carried on a three year romantic affair], Clark Gable. Gary Cooper and Cary Grant.”). Her husband, successful MGM director/producer Paul Bern, died some two-months after their wedding with a bullet to the head, and Harlow herself also met with a mysterious early demise. No doubt much information is to be gleaned by following Hollywood/Laurel Canyon insurance/inheritance-money trails (And now for a story to set the magic stage. According to former Governor of California/U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan in his book entitled For the Record, Regan writes: “…the most closely guarded domestic secret of the Reagan White House” was that “Virtually every major move and decision the Reagans made during my time as White House Chief of Staff was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco [a Vassar-educated astrologer named Joan Quigley, daughter of a wealthy hotelier] who drew up horoscopes to make certain that the planets were in a favorable alignment for the enterprise.”

In her book entitled What Does Joan Say?, Quigley writes, “Not since the days of the Roman emperors—and never in the history of the United States Presidency—has an astrologer played such a significant role in the nation's affairs of State.” Other astrologists with which they consulted were psychic astrologer Jeane Dixon and Los Angeles Times astrologer Carroll Righter, known as the “astrologer to the stars.” Did I mention magic and astrology go hand in hand? This cannot be stressed enough. To provide a little flavor of the times, I quote the following People’s Magazine article entitled ‘The President’s Astrologers’: “It's not clear when or how Nancy [Reagan, nee] Davis—who arrived in Hollywood in the late '40s and signed her first contract with MGM in 1949—first came under the seer's care. By November 1950, however, she ranked high enough on [Carroll] Righter's roster to merit a mention in his celebrity column for Horoscope magazine. "With her progressed moon passing through her 10th house...Nancy [Reagan, nee] Davis' movie career moves steadily forward," wrote Righter between items on Judy Garland, Alan Ladd and Ingrid Bergman. [Actor] Ronald Reagan, whom Nancy married in 1952, was also getting career advice from Righter in this period (it is said both Ronald and Nancy lunched every Wednesday with Carroll Righter, the top Hollywood astrologer of his day, from the late 1940’s and 1950’s) [“By the '60s, Reagan's interest had turned to politics, and his stable of [astrological] advisers had widened to include Jeane Dixon”]…A dapper, lifelong bachelor, Righter was, in a way, the society "walker" of his day, confidante of the rich and famous, who saw him less as a backdoor soothsayer than as social equal. He attended Tyrone Power's wedding in Rome. He lunched at the Brown Derby.

His "zodiac parties" in the '50s were the highlights of every season. "All the stars were there—Rhonda Fleming, Marlene Dietrich, Lana Turner, Hedy Lamarr, Betty Grable," says former Righter pal Arlene Dahl. "Fish were swimming around in his pool for the Pisces party, and he rented a live lion for my Leo party." No matter that Leo was once so doped he fell into the pool and had to be hauled out by guests: The parties were adored and so was Righter…Righter himself took calls at all hours, keeping the charts of most-favored clients in a file by his bed for late-night consultations. "They need me here," he said. "Just like they need a doctor." …Nancy [Reagan] was a regular customer at the seer's sprawling Hollywood Hills mansion. Making her appointments under the name Nancy Davis, she would arrive in sunglasses with a bandanna over her head, in a red Datsun driven by a liveried chauffeur…Writer Sally Quinn, who once investigated the capital's astrology habits for the Washington Post, says, "I was amazed at the kinds of people who actually made political decisions based on astrological charts." But though many of the power elite consult astrologists, she says, "nobody admits it."” Sounds like their Family Values were Manson Family values to me! Of an interesting note, Righter died the day after Donald Regan’s book hit the stands before he could offer any previously unknown insights)

Laurel Canyon residents (including small children) have long had a nasty bad habit 395

of turning up dead (50% chance at one point for our select control group), victims of violent murder, ‘tragic accidents’ and more often than not police-ruled drug-induced ‘suicides.’ As many deaths occurred on important occult dates, even perhaps falling into the ritual murder category, I believe at least one moral to this story is in order: Never make a deal with the devil—you can check out any time you like but you can never leave, except in a box of course (though there’s plenty of room at the Hotel Chelsea in New York; it’s such a lovely place with which all our major players are likewise associated). For anyone interested in more information on the subject of Laurel Canyon and its mysterious deaths and its residents ties to the Intelligence community, I would like to direct them to Dave McGowan’s most excellent expose: Inside the LC at ‘The Center for An Informed America’ (davesweb.cnchost.com).

Laurel Canyon itself is very near Studio City (Laurel Canyon Boulevard runs through the heart of Studio City) where ex-Aleister Crowley-secretary Israel Regardie opened shop as a Reichian Therapist (Regardie was a member of Stella Matutina, a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn).

Many Hollywood employees lived there in Radio City.

Another Oscar-worthy supporting actor in our entertaining Tinsel Town drama is an enterprising Boston banker named Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. According to ex-child actor and avante-guarde filmaker Kenneth Anger in Hollywood Babylon II p.35,39: “Joseph P. Kennedy (Sr.), bootlegger to the film colony…was, during the Twenties (the 1920s), Hollywood’s top-drawer booze connection” illicitly importing during the Prohibition Era the finest contraband Scotch, whiskey and champagne Europe could supply. Kennedy poured the proceeds from his ill-gotten gains into the nowdefunct RKO film studio in a joint venture with the British. Tellingly enough the British Lord Inverforth with whom Joseph Kennedy was financially involved in his above-board legal liquor dealings “later showed up during World War II working closely with British Secret Intelligence Services chief William Stephenson” (See Dope, Inc. p.292). “Joe” was no small bit player in our seedy ongoing saga: “Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Sr. (September 6, 1888 – November 18, 1969) was a prominent American businessman, investor, and government official. Kennedy, an Irish American, was the father of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, United States Attorney General and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, United States Senator Edward M. Kennedy, naval officer Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., Special Olympics co-founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith; and the grandfather of U.S. Representatives Joseph P. Kennedy II and Patrick J. Kennedy. He was a leading member of the Democratic Party and of the Irish Catholic community. He was the inaugural Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), and later directed the Maritime Commission (Kennedy, Sr. was head of the entire Merchant Marine operation!). Kennedy served as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1938 until late 1940, including the early part of World War II. Born to a political family in Boston, Massachusetts, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. was educated at Boston Latin School and Harvard University, and embarked on a career in finance, making a large fortune as a stock market and commodity investor and by investing in real estate and a wide range of industries. At the repeal of Prohibition, Kennedy and FDR's son James Roosevelt traveled to Scotland to buy 396

distribution rights for Scotch whiskey. In addition, Kennedy had purchased spiritsimportation rights from Schenley Industries, a firm in Canada. During World War I, he was an assistant general manager of Bethlehem Steel and developed a friendship with Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Kennedy made huge profits from reorganizing and refinancing several Hollywood studios, ultimately merging several acquisitions into Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO) studios.

After Prohibition ended in 1933, Kennedy consolidated an even larger fortune when his company, Somerset Importers, became the exclusive American agent for Gordon's Gin and Dewar's Scotch. He owned the largest office building in the country, Chicago's Merchandise Mart, giving his family an important base in that city and an alliance with the Irish-American political leadership there…After his death, various gangsters including Frank Costello claimed to have associated with Kennedy.” – Wikipedia: Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. Indeed, as Dope, Inc. concludes: “The Kennedy machine is organized crime in government.” Also interesting to note is Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.’s three year affair with Hollywood actress Gloria Swanson whom Kenneth Anger identifies as being a “real, bona fide, black-magical witch” in his book Hollywood Babylon II p.13.

Our trail of Mafia-associated fallen angel-inspired drugs and gun-running hippies of course leads straight to the doors of the Los Angeles night club called the Whisky a Go-Go (where else could one go where so many OTO-affiliated Laurel Canyon bands with U.S. Intelligence backgrounds such as John Philips’ [a friend of OTO-member Charlie ‘The Wizard’ Manson, Philips later started his own record label and named it not surprisingly Warlock Records—his 3rd wife was a selfprofessed avid fan of Aleister Crowley. In The Process, Ed Sanders associates Philips with The Process Church of the Final Judgment] The Mamas and the Papas [briefly called The Magic Cyrcle] held contractual agreements to perform and play to Whisky a Go-Go-regular/Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan high-priestess Jayne Mansfield amidst the LSD-induced dancing of the LaVey-associated hippie Paulekas Brothers in a business run by an associate of LaVey’s Bugsy Siegal/Mafia associated-uncle!), which at that time was owned in title by an ex-Chicago vice-cop whose night job while in Chicago was by his own admission “running nightclubs for the outfit (Mafia) – for gangsters.” You don’t say. Which is probably where originates the saying that everyone in Hollywood is either a producer or a hitman.

The Whisky a Go-Go (established 1964 A.D.) is a legendary place (and allegedly a major drug trafficking site in the late 1960s) located on the equally legendary Sunset Strip of Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA. Today, you’ll be happy to learn, the Whisky a Go-Go has been franchised. As we learn from Wikipedia: “In 1958, the first Whisky a Go-Go in North America opened in Chicago, Illinois (where Anton LaVey’s family lived before moving to California), on the corner of Rush Street and Chestnut Street (an area of strip-clubs and X-rated film theatres where drugs, prostitutes and gangstas ran freely)…A franchise was opened in 1966 on M Street in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., by restaurateur Jacques Vivien. A relatively new Whisky a Go-Go has been opened at (you guessed it) the Old Port of Tel Aviv (in Israel).” The original Whisky a Go-Go was located in the Soho entertainment district in London, England. Soho was a major Jazz music scene during the 1950s and home to a large number of night clubs which later hosted such mod bands as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. It is also near the heart of the London theatre area, and Soho has been the heart of London’s ‘sex scene’ for the 397

past 200 years. Soho was a major area for prostitution and organized crime in the 1950s and 1960s, abounding with mob corrupted police officers. And though formerly there had been an open air sex industry, with the introduction of the Street Offences Act in 1959 A.D. many of these clubs began operating as fronts for prostitution. It is in this atmosphere: “…in 1960, London's first sex cinema theatre, the Compton Cinema Club (a membership only club to get around the [the Street Offenses Act] law) opened at 56 Old Compton Street. It was owned by Michael Klinger and Tony Tenser who produced many of the early Roman Polanski films such as [the gangster-themed] Cul-de-sac (1966).” – Wikipedia: Soho. Note the organized crime/prostitution/drugs/nightclub/music scene associations. It is as if Soho were looking at itself in a mirror only to find Los Angeles and San Francisco staring right back at it. According to the beatnik hippie Ed Sanders, The Process Church of the Final Judgment co-founder Mary Anne DeGrimston was, before her stints with the Scientologists and The Process, one of these prostitutes from Soho (See The Process by Ed Sanders). Such status precludes an organized crime association. “The black-caped, black-garbed, death-worshiping Process Church of the Final Judgment (an English occult society) arrived on the Los Angeles scene in early 1968. They stayed in public view till a few days after Robert Kennedy's assassination in June of '68, after which they dropped from sight in Los Angeles...And now it was the spring of the (Chinese calendar) Year of the Pig 1968 and they were swarming the streets of Sunset Strip, trying to convert psychedelic merchants, seeking out movie stars and especially they doted on the hell-oriented bikers and bike gangs that frequented Hollywood (such as the Hell’s Angels and the Straight Satans, the former leader of which was a Manson Family member named Danny De Carlo who provided Manson’s group with weapons including the gun used in the Tate-LaBianca murders).” - The Process by Ed Sanders. In fact: “A lot of Straight Satans spent passing time at the various houses at which the Mansonists lived.” – p.148 The Family by Ed Sanders. Another Manson Family member recruited from the Sunset Strip itself was a man named Charles Pierce, also known as Sunshine for the brand of acid (Orange Sunshine) he used to peddle on Hollywood streetcorners. In the words of Pierce himself: “We was running dope down from San Francisco and Los Angeles, selling it on street corners…” – p.178 The Family by Ed Sanders.

Another famous Soho prostitute of the day was a woman named Christine Keeler: “Christine Margaret Keeler (born 22 February 1942) is an English former model and showgirl. Her involvement with a British government minister discredited the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan in 1963, in what is known as the Profumo Affair. In July 1961, Ward introduced her to John Profumo, the British Secretary of State for War, at a pool party at Cliveden, the Buckinghamshire mansion owned by Lord Astor. Profumo entered into an affair with Keeler, not realising that she was also sleeping with drug dealer Johnny Edgecombe—as well as Yevgeni Ivanov, a naval attaché at the embassy of the Soviet Union (Author’s Note: so of course she was a Russian spy). The affair was terminated by the government's Cabinet Secretary, Sir Norman Brook, who spoke to Profumo on the advice of Sir Roger Hollis, the head of MI5. On 9 August 1961, Profumo wrote to Keeler advising her he could no longer see her. However, when Johnny Edgecombe was arrested for shooting a gun at the door of Keeler's home, news of the affair became public, creating a scandal resulting in the resignation of Profumo. Keeler became a 398

celebrity.” – Wikipedia: Christine Margaret Keeler (compare to John F. Kennedy’s similar situation). Which begs the question, could a former prostitute in an occult society, which societies are known to harbor spies as does a harbor harbor ships, herself be a spy. The short answer is yes. When dealing with Illuminati, each and every one of them’s a spy. A favorite haunt of the aforementioned Johnny Edgecombe was The Flamingo Club: “The Flamingo Club was a nightclub that operated in Soho, London, between 1952 and the late 1960s. It was located at 33-37 Wardour Street from 1957 onwards, and played an important role in the development of British rhythm and blues and jazz…By 1963 the Flamingo had become known as a centre of the Mod subculture, where fans and musicians of both jazz and R&B music would meet together…The club became recognised as a meeting place for famous musicians, with members of The Beatles (members of which often stayed at the Roman Polanski residence when in America on tour), The Rolling Stones, (Laurel Canyon resident/Mama Cass’s husband) Jimi Hendrix and many others all being regular customers.” – Wikipedia: The Flamingo Club. (One Chicago connection to this scene was Giorgio Gomelski who moved from Chicago to London opening the Crawdaddy club at the Station Hotel on Kew Road in Richmond which would later launch The Rolling Stones into the limelight. Of this time Tony Sanchez in Up and Down with the Rolling Stones p.19 writes: “…one afternoon George Harrison (of The Beatles) came to see them after a gig (at the Crawdaddy club) to tell them they were the best new group he had ever seen. They took him back to the apartment…where they met up with the other three Beatles and talked heady into the night about music and revolution and Chuck Berry and how they were all going to change the world.” They were friends ever since)

When MKULTRA was “officially” shut down in 1963 A.D. it would seem it was simply unofficially recontituted in a slightly different venue, shifting from the sterility of clinics to coffee houses and ubiquitous night clubs which at this time coincidentally of course exploded into existence virtually overnight, spilling into neighboring Laurel Canyon which of course in 1963 A.D. coincidentally enough corresponded with the “official” canning of Dr. Richard Alpert (MKULTRAassociated psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s partner in crime) and his subsequent reappearance on said Laurel Canyon drug scene (Charles Manson was part of the drug infested Laurel Canyon cabal and had associations with all of the major players so involved). And many had a penchant for guns, drugs and (gun/drug running?) yachts (As the song goes: ‘They go together like gun/drug-smuggling, ex-generals’manned fishing-charter-boats, Anton LaVey-associated gypsy ex-Lend-Leasehippie-merchant-marinemen-named-Vito-and-Carl-Paulekas and shoobeedoowop doowop’). Captain Al Hubbard was an intricate player in the American Intelligencerun illicit Lend-Lease enterprise [begun in 1940 A.D. under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt] for the benefit of England it would also be helpful to note at this time. Suspiciously enough, Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard started a business in early 1946 A.D. in which they were to “buy” boats such as yachts on the East coast in Miami, Florida and sail them via South America to the West coast for “resale,” and not of course (?) Israel-bound contraband/gun/drug related, though it was revealed that one of Parsons source of extra income (besides the passing on of classified documents to the Israelis) was obtained by “bootlegging nitroglycerine,” a well known explosive with many useful military applications [See pp.155,158 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.]. At any rate, by 399

1950 A.D. Parsons had according to his FBI file been negotiating with the Israelis to “relocate to the newly formed Israel…with no less than the head of the American Technion Society” [a society with which Albert Einstein, at one time a ‘visiting’ CalTech professor, was associated, even touring the United States in a Technion Society fund-raising capacity. Einstein was himself Chairman of the German Technion Society. In Israel the Technion is also known as the Israeli Institute of Technology. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Technion was an active center for the Jewish underground—notably the Haganah—and a source of technological defense solutions crucial to the struggle for (Israeli) independence”] (Ibid p.170) there to head up no doubt an Israeli missile project, likely as part of the newly constituted Department of Aeronautical Engineering, the foundation of Israel’s aerospace and Air Force industries. Apparently Parsons had been under FBI investigation for espionage as he was discovered in an attempt to pass on ‘classified’ Hughes Aircraft Company documents, at which company he was then employed, to the Israelis [CalTech’s Von Karmen was also implicated at the time]. So it would seem Parsons was engaged as, such as it were, an Israeli spy likely recruited by Von Karmen himself. In 1952 A.D. Parsons died in a mysterious explosion as he was about to leave the country with a cache of explosives, headed to Israel via Mexico, his last ‘secret rites’ being administered on July 19th (the date of Azazel’s future release) prior to his burial. Parsons had been at the time of his death in the employ of the U.S. Naval Ordinance Department working on a classified research project (Ibid p.182) (Parsons’ death must be also be viewed in respect to America’s involvement in the Korean War [1950 A.D. to the present; we are technically still at war with North Korea; major hostilities, however, ended in 1953 A.D.]. America under a United Nations flag was embroiled in the Korean War against elements of North Korean and allied Chinese armies as well as peripherally troops of the Soviet Union engaged as ‘advisors.’ Parsons was known to have frequented a Communist cell and a number of his rocketry team-members were also known Communists. These were the days of the second Red Scare in Cold War America engaged in a hot war against Communist forces in Korea. Parsons, it would seem, was a casualty of these wars).

Was Laurel Canyon and its environs the center of one of those: “…contraband networks controlled by mobsters who moonlighted as CIA hitmen” mentioned in the very elucidating MKULTRA expose entitled Acid Dreams? (See also The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia by Alfred McCoy). You make the call. In those days the music industry was relatively in its quite contrived infancy peopled largely by drugdealing individuals from families with a military intelligence background. Today it is a flourishing global corporate combine. Oh, the magic of Hollywood, where capitalist Kabbalists play cherubic corpulent kings. It is truly the magick kingdom.

Consider the findings of Dave McGowan: “As important as the Freaks (the LaVeyassociated hippie Paulekas Brothers, Vito and Carl and company;; LaVey’s friend Kenneth Anger’s friend Bobby Beausoleil was known to hang out at Ciro’s nightclub frequented by the Freaks and was well familiar with them) were to building an audience for the new Laurel Canyon bands, there was another group that played a key role as well: Hollywood’s so-called ‘Young Turks.’ Like the Freaks, the Turks became an immediate and constant presence on the newly emerging Sunset Strip scene. And as with the Freaks, their presence on the Strip was heavily promoted by 400

the media. Locals and tourists alike knew where to go to gawk at the Freaks and, as an added bonus, quite possibly rub shoulders with the likes of Peter Fonda (the son of Henry Fonda, a U.S. Naval Intelligence officer who served in World War II), Jack Nicholson (whose father is mysteriously unknown), Bruce Dern (whose godmother was First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt; his paternal grandfather was George Dern, Secretary of War under President Franklin Roosevelt. Per Inside the LC: “George (Dern) had also served as Governor of Utah and Chairman of the National Governors’ Association. Bruce’s mother was born Jean MacLeish, and she happened to be the sister of Archibald MacLeish, who also served under Franklin Roosevelt, as the Director of the War Department’s Office of Facts and Figures and as the Assistant Director of the Office of War Information. In other words, Archibald MacLeish was essentially America’s Minister of War Propaganda. He also served at various times as an Assistant Secretary of State and as the Librarian of Congress. By far the most impressive item on his résumé, however, was his membership in everyone’s favorite secret society, Skull and Bones (class of 1915, one year before Prescott Bush [related to Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush] was tapped in 1916).”), Dennis Hopper and Warren Beatty, along with their female counterparts like Jane Fonda (also known as ‘Hanoi Jane’), Nancy Sinatra and Sharon Tate (Nancy Sinatra, Warren Beatty [a close associate of Jay Sebring] and Jane Fonda were known to have frequented parties at Roman Polanski’s and Sharon Tate’s home at 10050 Cielo Drive, the scene of Manson’s most infamous murders [See p.166 The Family by Ed Sanders]) (Nancy Sinatra appeared with Bruce Dern and Peter Fonda in the film The Wild Angels: “The Wild Angels is a 1966 Roger Corman film [a WWII navy vet, Corman studied English Literature at Oxford University], made on location in Southern California. The Wild Angels was made three years before Easy Rider and was the first film to associate actor Peter Fonda with Harley-Davidson motorcycles and 1960s counterculture. It was also the film that inspired the outlaw biker film genre that continued into the early 1970s. “The Wild Angels, released by American International Pictures (AIP), stars (Peter) Fonda as the fictitious Hells Angels San Pedro, California chapter president "Heavenly Blues" (or "Blues"), Nancy Sinatra as his girlfriend "Mike", Bruce Dern as doomed fellow outlaw "the Loser", and Dern's real-life wife Diane Ladd as the Loser's onscreen wife, "Gaysh." Small supporting roles are played by Michael J. Pollard and Gayle Hunnicutt, and according to literature promoting the film, members of the Hells Angels from Venice, California. Members of the Coffin Cheaters motorcycle club also appeared. In 1967 AIP followed this film with Devil's Angels, The Glory Stompers with Dennis Hopper, and The Born Losers (the first of the Billy Jack movies).” – Wikipdia: The Wild Angels. No doubt these movies were to the biker gangs what Rosemary’s Baby was to the Church of Satan. At any rate: “Actors who obtained their career breaks working for Corman include Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, Michael McDonald, Dennis Hopper, Talia Shire, and Robert De Niro. David Carradine, who received one of his first starring film roles in the Corman-produced Boxcar Bertha (1972) and went on to star in Death Race 2000, later noted: ‘It’s almost as though you can’t have a career in this business without having passed through Roger’s hands for at least a moment.’” – Wikipedia: Roger Corman. Roger Corman is best remembered for his contributions to the science-fiction and horror film genres as well as the so-called ‘Sword and Sorcery’ genre with which California governor and Conan the Barbarian (1982) star Arnold Schwarzenegger was associated; Schwarzenegger ties into the Kennendy clan through his marriage to Maria Shriver, niece of President John F. Kennedy.

Roger Corman ties in with Jack Parson’s Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society and company through one of Anton LaVey’s closest friends, Forrest J. Ackerman. As recent as the latter half of the 1990s Roger Corman and Forrest J. Ackerman collaborated on the film adaptation

401

based upon a successful comic book series about a beautiful vampire from outer space entitled Vampirella (1996). Forrest J. Ackerman was a Notable friend of (Laurel Canyon resident) Bela Lugosi, star of the movie Dracula (1931). Dracula, based on the novel Dracula (1897 A.D.) by Irish novelist, Theosophical Society-member Bram Stoker, who was as well a member of its inner circle, namely, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, was a successful Broadway play starring Bela Lugosi before its later Hollywood film adaptation. Lugosi, a Shakespearean actor who became a captain in the Austro-Hungarian Army during WWII: “Due to his activism in the actors union in Hungary during the time of the Hungarian Revolution of 1919, he was forced to flee his homeland.” – Wikipedia: Bela Lugosi. The Hungarian Revolution of 1919 A.D. in which Lugosi was an active participant was related to the Russian Bolshevik Revolution and resulted in the short-lived communist Hungarian Soviet Republic. Revolution and the Illuminati go together like peanut butter and jelly; they’re just not as delicious.

(Per Inside the LC: “Sharon Tate was the daughter of Lt. Col. Paul Tate, a career US Army intelligence officer, and Nancy Sinatra is, of course, the daughter of Francis Albert Sinatra [Frank Sinatra], whose known associates included Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Sam Giancana, Carlo Gambino, Goetano Luchese and Joseph Fishetti [a cousin of Al Capone]). Many of these young and glamorous Hollywood stars forged very close bonds with the Laurel Canyon musicians. Some of them, including Peter Fonda, found homes in the canyon so that they could live, work and party among the rock stars (and, in their free time, pass around John Phillips’ wife to just about every swinging dick [they were, by definition, ‘swingers’] in the canyon, including Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty, Roman Polanski, and Gene Clark of The Byrds). Some of them never left; Jack Nicholson to this day lives in a spacious estate just off the portion of Mulholland Drive that lies between Laurel Canyon and Coldwater Canyon. Not far west of Nicholson’s property (which now includes the neighboring estate formerly owned by Marlon Brando) sits the longtime home of Warren Beatty (whose father was a psychologist named Ira Beatty, and who was possibly, as McGowan conjectures, a psychologist of the MKULTRA type).

From the symbiotic relationship between Laurel Canyon actors and Laurel Canyon musicians arose a series of feature films that are now considered counter-cultural classics. One such film was 1967’s The Trip, an unintentionally hilarious attempt to create a cinematic facsimile of an LSD trip. Written by, of all people, Jack Nicholson, the movie starred fellow (Young) Turks Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Bruce Dern. Seated in the director’s chair was Roger Corman, who, throughout his career, worked side-by-side with (musician) David Crosby’s dad on no less than twenty-three feature films…The house where most of the film was shot, at the top of Kirkwood Drive in Laurel Canyon, was the home of Love’s Arthur Lee (Kenneth Anger’s live-in-boyfriend/Manson Family murderer Bobby Beausoleil was a guitarist in an early line-up of Arthur Lee’s band Love, named in honor of Beausoleil whose nickname was Cupid. Love was in the beginning a Rolling Stones cover band.

When he lost his spot in this band he moved to the San Francisco Bay area. Arthur Lee lived in Bela Lugosi’s old house). Another ‘psychedelic’ cult film of the late 1960s with deep roots in Laurel Canyon was the Monkee’s 1968 big-screen offering, Head. Also scripted by Nicholson (with assistance from Bob Rafelson), the movie included cameo appearances by canyon dwellers Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson and Frank Zappa (Zappa was a friend of Bobby Beausoleil). The music – performed, of course, by The Monkees – was a mix of songs written by the band and contributions 402

from Canyon songwriters like Carol King and Harry Nilsson…The homes of both Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork were popular canyon hangouts in the late ’60s for a number of ‘real’ musicians. Also regularly dropping by Dolenz’ party house were Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson.” – Inside the LC by Dave McGowan That the players in our drama were involved in Israeli gun-running activities there is no doubt. From a JTA© article entitled ‘Sinatra reportedly helped run guns to Israel’ (February 14, 2008): “Frank Sinatra reportedly played a role in smuggling guns to Israel in 1948. Brian Greenspun, a son of Hank Greenspun, the Las Vegas media and real estate magnate who helped lead the gun smuggling effort, related the account Wednesday night to a Washington fund-raising dinner for Israel’s Rabin Center, an institute that promotes democracy and pluralism.” In fact, Hank Greenspun: “During World War II, while stationed in Northern Ireland, Greenspun met his wife, Barbara, at a dinner party hosted by Maureen Black (née Peres) daughter of (the legendary music producer and record distributor) Harold Peres of Solomon and Peres (a UK and Ireland-based company which was later was acquired

by Decca Records) and wife of British Businessman, Roy Keith Black. As a young man, Greenspun became closely involved with Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and the work he was doing to reopen his Flamingo casino. Greenspun worked as the Flamingos's publicity agent. Following the murder of Siegel in Los Angeles in 1947, Greenspun renewed his interest in his Jewish heritage and became a prominent figure in supporting the struggle to establish the State of Israel. In 1947, when the Haganah was already in armed conflict with Arab forces, Greenspun shipped machine guns and airplane parts to that organization (which later became the core of the Israel Defense Forces). This was a violation of the U.S. Neutrality Acts, a crime for which Greenspun was arrested and ultimately convicted on July 10, 1950. He was fined $10,000 but received no prison time. On October 18, 1961, President John F. Kennedy granted Greenspun a pardon. Upon Greenspun's death in 1989, former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres called Greenspun ‘a hero of our country and a fighter for freedom.’” – Wikipedia: Hank Greenspun.

Note the Israeli/Northern Ireland/Bugsy Siegel/Mafia/music industry associations. Add to the mix Intelligence agencies (no doubt there existed an underlying CIA connection, rogue or otherwise), Anton LaVey, Kenneth Anger, the OTO and other such practitioners of magic. Now shake: “Zap! You're pregnant. That's witchcraft.” As the JTA© article goes on to explain: “Greenspun, who said he heard the story from his father, later confirmed it with Teddy Kollek, the late Jerusalem mayor. According to the account, which Greenspun said he was making public for the first time, Kollek—who was in 1948 Israel’s point man heading the arms smuggling effort in New York—got to know the singer while staying in Hotel 14, atop the old Copacabana nightclub where Sinatra (with known Mafia connections) headlined” (“The [Copacabana] club opened November 10, 1940 at 10 East 60th Street in New York City. Although Monte Proser’s name was on the lease, he had a powerful partner: mob boss Frank Costello.” – Wikipedia: Copacabana (nightclub)). Teddy Kollek was a British MI5 asset assigned to the British Mandate’s Jewish Agency for Palestine (which Chairman was David Ben-Gurion) and a member of Haganah alongside Moshe Dayan, whose son was a friend of Anton LaVey. War makes strange bedfellows; the Theosophical Movement makes them stranger. It would appear L. Ron Hubbard, a 403

member of Naval Intelligence, acting in an official capacity, [likely along with Marjorie Cameron] was sent in to find out what the heck exactly was happening inside Jack Parson’s Parsonage. According to a 1969 A.D. London Sunday Times article: “Dr. (Jack) Parsons was head of the American branch (of the OTO) located at 100 Orange Grove Avenue, Pasadena, California. This was a huge old house which had paying guests who were the U.S. nuclear physicists working at Cal. Tech.

Certain agencies objected to nuclear physicists being housed under the same roof. L. Ron Hubbard was still an officer of the U.S. Navy [and] because he was well known as a (sci-fi) writer and philosopher and had friends among the physicists, he was sent in to handle the situation. He went to live at the house and investigated the black magic rites and the general situation and found them very bad. Parsons (who was spying for the Jews who were working towards the creation of modern day Israel) wrote to (British spy Aleister) Crowley in England about Hubbard. Crowley ‘the beast 666’ evidently detected an enemy and warned Parsons. This was all well proven by the correspondence uncovered by the [London] Sunday Times. Hubbard’s mission was successful far beyond anyone’s expectations. The house was torn down. Hubbard rescued a girl they were using. The black magic group was dispersed and never recovered. The (nuclear) physicists included many of the sixtyfour top U.S. scientists who were later declared insecure and dismissed from government service with so much publicity…” (See p.191-192 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.). This represents the ‘official’ Church of Scientology version of the events which transpired, the Times printing it in its entirety.

The CIA tested LSD under MKULTRA primarily for use as an instrument in clandestine warfare. One of the CIA’s schemes suggested under ‘Operation Executive Action’ was to slip Cuban communist leader Fidel Castro an LSD ‘mickey’ thus instantaneously gaining him babbling idiot status: “…the CIA had developed a "stable of drugs," including LSD, that were used in covert operations…A favorite plan involved slipping "P-1" (the code name for LSD when used operationally) to socialist or left-leaning politicians in foreign countries so that they would babble incoherently and discredit themselves in public.” – Acid Dreams. Perhaps they had also hoped to “French fry” his brain, a drug-induced lobotomy of sorts.

During the 1960s, the CIA and the FBI had formed an alliance with the Mafia (again, this relationship dated back to World War II if not in fact prior; the Mafia was well ensconced in Florida, which itself at the time had a sizable dissident Cuban population, as well as in Havana, Cuba; previously, Castro had closed down the Mafia’s casinos in Cuba after the Communist takeover) with the expressed intent to assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro under ‘Operation Mongoose.’ After many bungled assassination attempts Kennedy at last opted with the failed Bay of Pigs CIA amateur-hour: “According to FBI files, the autobiography of Antoinette Giancana and the testimony of Johnny Roselli to the U.S. Senate Church Commission in 1975, it was Giancana, 404

along with a few other mobsters, who conspired with the CIA to assassinate Fidel Castro in the early 1960s. Giancana also had the distinction of sharing a mistress, Judith Campbell (Exner), with President John F. Kennedy. (Frank) Sinatra introduced her to both men. Giancana is often named as a suspect by people who believe the Mafia assassinated President Kennedy. Giancana was murdered in 1975 after his role in the Castro plot came to light, but before he could testify at congressional hearings investigating the CIA.” – Frank Sinatra and the Mob by J.D. Chandler. Another Kennedy mistress, Anton Lavey’s-ex squeeze Marilyn Monroe, with whom Kennedy also had the unheralded distinction of sharing sloppy-seconds with the mobster Bugsy Siegel, also ended up mysteriously incapacitated and unable to testify, the victim of what was ruled of course a tragic apparent ‘suicide’ (in CIA parlance, she was ‘suicided’). It is also said Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan highpriestess Jayne Mansfield also had sexual affairs with John and Bobby Kennedy before she attained her ‘prestigious’ Church of Satan position. Indeed: “John F. Kennedy had many ‘one-night-stands’ as the world calls them. These were merely women hustled up by his aides or the secret service or his friends like Frank Sinatra.

But Kennedy also had long term relationships with some of the women he was sexually active with. It is those relationships which reveal so much about the hidden Satanic side of the Kennedys. John F. Kennedy had three long term girlfriends, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Mansfield, and Zsa Zsa Gabor which were also girlfriends of Anton LaVey, who has headed the Church of Satan. Jayne Mansfield was a high priestess of the Church of Satan. Marilyn Monroe was a participant in LaVey’s satanic rituals before LaVey founded his Church of Satan. Both JFK and his brother Robert Kennedy had affairs going with Marilyn Monroe, and both visited her just prior to her mysterious death. Zsa Zsa has been interested for years in the occult.” – The Kennedy Bloodline. What with so many Kennedy men carrying on long-term affairs with well known female Satanists one would not be amiss if one’s mind began to wonder…

Enter Judith Campbell Exner: “Judith Campbell Exner…was Sinatra’s girlfriend who he passed on (to JFK) as a favor. Judith worked for the Mafia, in particular she worked for Sam Giancana and John Roselli (Roselli was an associate of the former World War II counter-intelligence officer turned lawyer Robert Maheu who worked at various times for the FBI, the CIA and as top aide to billionaire Howard Hughes. Maheu was a close friend of both John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy)…It is also known that JFK was in direct contact with Meyer Lansky and Joe Fishetti, two other Mafia chiefs...This is no surprise because Jack’s (JFKs) father had worked with the Mafia Jack’s entire life.” – The Kennedy Bloodline.

“According to (Judith Campbell) Exner, for 18 months in 1960 and 1961, she served as the President's link with the Mob. At Kennedy's request, says Exner, she regularly carried envelopes back and forth between the President and Sam Giancana, the head of the Chicago Mafia, as well as Johnny Roselli, Giancana's Los Angeles lieutenant.

Furthermore, Exner says she arranged about 10 meetings between Kennedy and Giancana, one of which, she believes, took place inside the White House. Exner says she was never told what transpired between the President and the Chicago Godfather.

But she has good cause to speculate that one of the meetings involved attempts to influence the crucial West Virginia Democratic primary before the 1960 election— and that others involved a more sinister subject: the CIA's collaboration with the 405

Mafia to assassinate Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. These assassination plots ("Operation Mongoose") were investigated by the Senate in 1975 and were documented in a 347-page Senate Select Intelligence Committee report…The name Judith Campbell Exner first made headlines on Dec. 17, 1975. She had been mentioned in the Senate report as a "close friend" of JFK, Giancana and Roselli…Exner was born Judith Eileen Katherine Immoor and grew up in Pacific Palisades, Calif…At 16, attending a Hollywood party with Robert Wagner, Judith met actor William Campbell. They wed two years later, and after an unhappy marriage, were divorced in 1958. During this period she was friendly with a Hollywood set that included Charlton Heston, Lloyd Bridges and Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. Supported by funds from her parents and from an inheritance, Exner lived in Beverly Hills, where she did some painting. She also dined out often at glitzy restaurants…One night in 1959 Exner ran into Frank Sinatra (whom she had met before in Hollywood) at Puccini's, a restaurant in Beverly Hills. Several days later Sinatra invited Exner to join him in Hawaii with his friend Peter Lawford (Sinatra and Lawford were both members of Hollywood’s Rat Pack) and the actor's wife, Pat Kennedy Lawford…Sinatra later…invited Judith to see his show in Las Vegas. It was there, on Feb. 7, 1960, at the Sands hotel, that Sinatra introduced Exner to John (F.) Kennedy. Then campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination…The next day, Jack Kennedy invited Exner to lunch on Sinatra's patio…For the next month, says Exner, Kennedy called her almost every day…They arranged to meet at the Plaza in New York on March 7, the night before the New Hampshire primary. "It was a wonderful night of lovemaking," says Exner…A week later Sinatra invited Judith to join him in Miami Beach at the Fontainebleau hotel, where he was appearing. There Frank introduced her to his mobster friends, Joe Fischetti and Sam Giancana, whom Sinatra called "Sam Flood." "I didn't know then that Sam was the Chicago Godfather," says Exner, "but I did know he was important to Frank because of the way Sinatra acted around him, bowing and scraping and being so deferential." Once she knew Giancana and was intimate with Kennedy, Exner was in a perfect position to act as a liaison. "I feel like I was set up to be the courier," she says now…"I never told anyone else, because I thought I'd be killed.

Look what happened to Jack (JFK), and to Sam (Giancana), who was murdered in his house while under police surveillance," she says. Exner's first assignment as courier, she says, was suggested by JFK at dinner in his Georgetown town-house on April 6, 1960…Jack (JFK) turned to me and said, 'Could you quietly arrange a meeting with Sam (Giancana) for me?'…Pleased to be of help, Exner called Giancana the next morning and said she'd like to talk to him in Chicago…"I told Sam that Jack (JFK) wanted to meet with him because he needed his help in the campaign (Frank Sinatra’s song High Hopes was employed in the Kennedy election campaign). Sam agreed to the meeting, and we set the date for four days later at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. I called Jack (JFK) to tell him, then I flew to Miami because Kennedy wanted me to be there." Kennedy (JFK) met with Giancana at the Fontainebleau on April 12…That first meeting between Kennedy and Giancana seems to have been about the West Virginia primary. FBI wiretaps show large Mafia donations to the state campaign that were apparently disbursed by Frank Sinatra.

This under-the-table money was used to make payoffs to key election officials.

Giancana dispatched Paul "Skinny" D'Amato, who owned the famed 500 Club in Atlantic City, to the state to use his influence with the sheriffs who gambled in the 406

illegal gaming rooms of Greenbrier County. These men controlled the state's political machine, and many of them had been customers at Skinny's club. Some still owed Skinny money, and others were more than happy to do him a favor, which was rewarded from a cash supply of more than $50,000. Their job was to get the vote out for Kennedy—any way they could. Kennedy won the May 10 primary easily, with 61 percent of the vote. After Kennedy received the nomination in July, he asked Exner to arrange several more meetings with Giancana. She assumes that at least one of them, at the Navarro Hotel in New York in early August, had to do with the general election. "After Jack was elected," says Exner, "Sam kept saying he would never have been President if it hadn't been for his efforts on Kennedy's behalf in Cook County, Illinois." An overwhelming turnout for Kennedy in Cook County (where Chicago is located) enabled him to carry Illinois by a slim 8,858 votes. In the early months of his Administration, Kennedy had little time for Exner. During this period, the presence of a Communist regime in nearby Cuba was becoming a major political issue. On April 17, 1961, the CIA backed an attempt by Cuban nationalists to oust Castro. The failure of the infamous Bay of Pigs invasion was a major embarrassment for the Kennedy Administration. The President told the nation he accepted sole blame for the Cuban fiasco. A few days after the bungled invasion, Kennedy called Exner in California and asked her to fly to Las Vegas to pick up an envelope from Roselli, which she was to deliver to Giancana in Chicago. Once there, she arranged a meeting between the President and the Mafia boss. It took place in her suite at the Ambassador East on April 28…"Sam arrived first and then Jack…He then went over and shook Sam's hand. Sam said hello; he called him Jack, not Mr. President…On April 29, at Kennedy's request, Exner flew to Florida, where she had drinks with Giancana and Roselli, who were there for a meeting. She picked up another envelope from them and returned to Washington on May 4th…For days and sometimes weeks at a time that spring and summer, Exner crisscrossed the country by train and plane at her own expense carrying plain 9" by 12" manila envelopes from Kennedy to Giancana and Roselli and back again…Blindly accepting her role as the President's personal messenger, Exner never questioned what she was asked to do. "I thought I was in love with Jack. He trusted me and I was doing something important for him," she says. "I was 26 years old, and I didn't have any great purpose in my life. That's probably why I became so involved in doing this, and did it with such gusto. I guess I felt I was doing something important." Not until 1975, when the Senate committee report came out, did Exner guess at what might have been in the envelopes. "It finally dawned on me that I was probably helping Jack orchestrate the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro with the help of the Mafia," she says. Exner speculates that, in addition to communicating via courier, Kennedy and Giancana talked privately on the phone. "The White House logs show at least one call from Sam's home outside Chicago to the White House," she says. "That was not a call I ever made." Moreover, Exner suspects that Kennedy and Giancana met at the White House…By early 1962, their relationship had begun to sour…"He called less and I called less." …By that time, Exner realized she was being followed. In his drive against organized crime, Attorney General Robert Kennedy had targeted Sam Giancana for top-priority investigation. (It is not known whether RFK knew of his brother's dealings with the Mafia) (it would seem they felt they had been doublecrossed). The federal agents following Sam naturally saw Exner in his company.

They began watching her apartment, she says, and followed her when she went 407

shopping. "They hounded me about Sam, and I was terrified," says Exner. "I called Jack (JFK) immediately to tell him that the FBI had been to see me, asking all sorts of questions about Sam. I told him I had said I knew nothing about Sam's business affairs. Jack reassured me. He said, 'Don't worry. They won't do anything to you.

And don't worry about Sam (Giancana). You know he works for us.' He told me that over and over: 'Don't worry. Sam works for us.' As the FBI surveillance increased, Exner pressured Kennedy to intervene. "He'd say, 'Ignore them. It's just part of Hoover's vendetta against me.' He hated J. Edgar Hoover…On March 22, 1962, Hoover had a luncheon meeting with Kennedy at the White House to tell him that the FBI's investigation of the Mafia had revealed Exner's ties to Johnny Roselli and Sam Giancana. In addition, Hoover said, Exner had made calls to the White House and seemed to have a telephone relationship with the President's secretary. Not knowing that she had been seeing Giancana and Roselli at the President's request, Hoover warned Kennedy of the potential damage to his image if word got out (Hoover was known to blackmail political opponents, keeping extensive records for this purpose)…By the summer of 1962, the relationship was over…During her affair with Kennedy, when Exner had felt lonely or frustrated, she had often turned to Giancana for friendship and sympathy. "Sam was one of the nicest, kindest people I knew," she says. "I didn't know he was a murderer. I wouldn't have believed it."

Only when she was no longer sleeping with Kennedy, she says, did she allow herself to drift into an affair with Giancana, who was a widower. The affair lasted just a few months, during the fall of 1962. "I was never in love with Sam. Our affair was over when he proposed and I said I didn't want to marry him." Trying to put the past behind her, Exner settled down in Beverly Hills. On November 22, 1963, she was at a local hotel waiting to move into a new house when she learned that Kennedy had been assassinated…the Senate committee subpoenaed Exner. Of her testimony then, she says, "I lied before to protect myself. If I'd told the truth, I'd have been killed. I kept my secret out of fear." Exner's fears were not unfounded. Senate investigators were ready to call Giancana to testify before the committee when, on the night of June 19,1975, he was shot seven times in the head in his Oak Park, Ill., kitchen. The killer was never found. Days later, Roselli testified before the Senate committee about the CIA attempts on Castro, including Giancana's role. A year later, Roselli's body was found in a 55-gallon oil drum weighted with heavy chains floating in Dumfoundling Bay near Miami.” - People Magazine© "The Dark Side of Camelot", Feb. 29, 1988 A.D. You can always tell the ‘blessed’ people;; they’re the only ones standing at the end of the day. Like Exner, Sinatra himself lived to croon on. (Following the Bay of Pigs fiasco [April 17-19, 1961 A.D.], John and Bobby Kennedy drew up an investigative committee to prove the reason for the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion operation [the investigations findings were critical of the leadership of Allan Dulles] and began the process of reigning in the power of the CIA [as well as of their Mafia allies] when the two of them were assassinated [See The Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World Chapter 4: President Kennedy Attempts to Put the CIA Under Control by retired U.S. Air Force Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty]. Since the 50s and 60s the CIA has been in the process [which process itself began in England] of inextricably intertwining itself with the Department of Defense and has even set itself to do the same within the international corporate world (as evidenced by their activities in Hollywood and the music industry). The CIA has long been entrenched within the collegiate world. With former CIA director George H. W. Bush’s ascension to the presidency they were thereby ensconced within the Executive department and through his son George W. Bush have morphed the power of the CIA into the

408

behemoth known as Department of Homeland Security. The very nature of CIA clandestine operations [ie., lies, murder and mayhem, which clandestine operations Kennedy sought for which ever reason to end with his issuance of NSAM 55 and 57] opens up these people to such a mindset where they are in fact able to be Overshadowed by the alien fallen angels, this made possible through the application of highly advanced technologies. And there are those in fact in actual communication with the angels from whom they derive their ‘marching’ orders. And let us not forget it is virtually impossible to distinguish an alien angel from a Caucasian male [See Hebrews 13:2], and this holds true today for angels donning CIA suits as well as military and police uniforms. As John A. Keel, “1966-67 Ufologist of the Year” writes: “…the ‘flying saucers’ are occupied by terrestrial-type beings who can be easily mistaken for known racial groups…Out of the 2,500 cases in which witnesses have reported seeing the UFO pilots themselves, roughly 90 per cent of these ‘pilots’ have been described as humanoid beings…In about 30 per cent of these cases, the ‘pilots’ were said to look exactly like us with only minor differences in facial features…” – Top-Secret: Evidence of Strategic Alien Bases. Pertinent Quote: “…the existence in the universe of beings much more powerful than ourselves is being taken as a serious possibility. It is being quantitatively envisaged by eminent scientists. We need not add to these speculations. We should simply note that the human form perhaps ought not to be rejected. It is possible that it is one of the major stable forms of intelligence in the universe.” - p.6 Extraterrestrial Visitations from Prehistoric Times to the Present by Jacques Bergier, English Version 1973 A.D. The fact is we have been created in the image of the Elohim, and the cherubim of the angels are the flying saucers of today—we share this Earth with rebel angels which makes the following statement by a man in the center of the action most intriguing: “The influence of the recent flying saucer legend has revived our consciousness of the possibility that alien infiltrators may now be living amongst us.” – p.60 The Flying Saucer Vision by John Michell, 1967 A.D. Concerning this I would say they most certainly do, and that they are fallen angels. The word ‘alien’ is of course a cognate of the word ‘angel’)

To this author, it would seem, the CIAs partnership with the Mafia during Operation Mongoose extended earlier even into other MKULTRA Subprojects, particulary as concerning the CIAs use of prostitutes supplied to them by Mafia elements including, I might add, those prostitutes supplied to them by clubs acting as prostitution fronts and seedy hotels/motels in the furtherance of administering LSD to a clueless unwitting public (as well as the aforementioned gun-running activities).

The man in charge of this operation as you remember was George Hunter White, who in days prior attended a British-run OSS training site dubbed ‘Camp X’ (‘X’ being an esoteric sign for Azazel; see Appendix A) for schooling spies (which camp Hunter revealingly enough dubbed the ‘school of mayhem and murder’) in Canada during World War II. For an explanation we must first provide some background information: “In 1955 (George Hunter) White was transferred to San Francisco, where two more safehouses were established (under CIA/MKULTR auspices). During this period he initiated Operation Midnight Climax, in which drug addicted prostitutes were hired to pick up men from local bars and bring them back to a CIA-financed bordello.

Unknowing customers were treated to drinks laced with LSD while White sat on a portable toilet behind two-way mirrors, sipping martinis and watching every stoned and kinky moment. As payment for their services the hookers received $100 a night, plus a guarantee from White that he’d intercede on their behalf should they be arrested while plying their trade. In addition to providing data about LSD, Midnight 409

Climax enabled the CIA to learn about the sexual proclivities of those who passed through the safe-houses. White’s harem of prostitutes became the focal point of an extensive CIA study of how to exploit the art of lovemaking for espionage purposes.” – Acid Dreams. Perhaps this tactic was later employed by the mob/CIA against John F. Kennedy perpetrated by a plethora of mobbed-up women including Marilyn Monroe who despite her mob-associations had as you recall security clearance at an Air Force intelligence operation (the mob itself is also historically well known for its extortion activities;; perhaps the Kennedy’s also became victims).

President Kennedy’s brother and Marilyn Monroe confidante, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who made no secret of his intention of cracking down on mob activities, was later after JFK’s murder himself consequently assassinated. Go figure. I blame Overshadowing fallen alien angels. And such an event is not without precedence. The Bible tells us King Herod was assassinated by an angel as related in Acts 12:21-23 as Herod was being Overshadowed by the fallen angel Satan who had been Overshadowing Herod in his search for the baby Jesus in order to assassinate Jesus. Herod’s death paved the way for Jesus’ return to the Promised Land. In Kennedy’s case it paved the way for a Republican return to the White House. Bugsy Siegel himself, it should be noted, was also subsequently assassinated. Dead men tell no tales.

Interestingly enough, J. Edgar Hoover, the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from its inception in 1935 A.D. until his death in 1972 A.D., and under whose watch occurred the assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy (prior to his death, in a speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, Kennedy warned of a vast world-wide conspiracy by secret societies who were working within the United States to take control thereof (and they have.

September 11 was a major coup for the secret societies about which he had warned).

Google: JFK Secret Society Speech. Video may be found at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZYfeYhQ9eU&feature=player_embedded#at=1 04. In his speech Kennedy warns of a “ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means…a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.” He asked the newspapers to help him inform and warn the American public of this threat to the existence of our American Democracy. How did that play out historically?

Journalists, not surprisingly considering the traditional role they have played in the greater Theosophical Movement, have buried the truth concerning these secret societies, which truth was buried along with the President who was subsequently assassinated), the investigation of which Hoover personally supervised, said investigation being criticized by the United States House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) which held Hoover’s FBI “failed to investigate adequately the possibility of a conspiracy to assassinate the President,” one theory being Kennedy was assassinated by elements of the Mafia itself, (the Mafia being a Freemasonic creation within the greater Theosophical Movement) members of which Hoover had alleged associations, with high-degree Masonry long being associated with magic practices including the invocation of fallen angels, as well as being an organization which historically speaking long indulged in political 410

assassinations. As we learn in Wikipedia: John Edgar Hoover: “Hoover was a devoted Freemason, being raised a Master Mason (Blue Lodge 3°; this was, as you’ll recall, one of the prerequisites to becoming a member of the Illuminati) on November 9, 1920, in Federal Lodge No. 1, Washington, DC, just two months before his 26th birthday. During his 52 years with the Masons, he received many medals, awards and decorations. Eventually in 1955, he was coroneted a Thirty-Third Degree Inspector General Honorary in the Southern Scottish Rite Jurisdiction. He was also awarded the Scottish Rite's highest recognition, the Grand Cross of Honour, in 1965 (less than two years after the Kennedy assassination!). Today a J. Edgar Hoover room exists within the (Freemasonic) House of the Temple (in Washington, D.C.).

The room contains many of Hoover's personal papers and records” (See J. Edgar Hoover, 33, Grand Cross-Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity Cartha DeLoach, Chairman, Hoover Foundation at Scottish Rite Journal of Freemasonry Magazine). Hoover long denied the existence of the Mafia and organized crime in America [funny though they were working with the Mafia during ‘Operation Mongoose’ and likely during MKULTRA]. Seems the fox was in charge of the henhouse!) (**The relationship between the OSS, the precursor of the CIA, and the Mafia apparently originated during World War II when contact was established to assist the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943 A.D. [See p.50 The Agency: The Rise and Decline of the CIA by John Ranelagh 1986 A.D.], though no doubt a Masonic confraternity existed amongst some associated individuals prior to this date (**one case in point is August Del Grazio, a New York City gangster and key participant in the heroin smuggling franchise famously known as the “French Connection” who was helping to smuggle spies and Mafiosi into German-occupied Italy. He was later known to have been interrogated by OSS officer George Hunter White which process included the administration of a ‘truth drug’) (Notable quote: “…not only are secret societies dangerous, but all societies [with a special emphasis to be applied concerning Intelligence agencies] whose object is mysterious. The whole history of man is a proof of this position. In no age or country has there ever appeared a mysterious association which did not in time become a public nuisance.” – p.343 Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D. MKULTRA is a definite case in point)

I believe one internet blogger also sums up the interrelationship of many of the 1960s’ most seminal events quite nicely in one lone sentence when he writes: “Without further ado, we begin this journey - for no particular reason - with the aforementioned Phil Hartman (murder victim and ex-Jimi Hendrix roadie), who was a high school friend of Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme, who later became a disciple of Charlie Manson, a jailhouse correspondent of John Hinckley, and the attempted assassin of President Gerald Ford, who was once a roommate of modeling entrepreneur Harry Conover, whose wife was the infamous Candy Jones (who claimed to be a victim of the CIAs MKULTRA mind-control program), who was ‘treated’ by CIA-linked hypnotist William Jennings Bryan, who also ‘treated’ the purported Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, whose name was written repetitively throughout the diaries of Sirhan Sirhan, who was also ‘treated’ by Bryan, who served as the technical director on The Manchurian Candidate, which was directed by John Frankenheimer, at whose beach house a dinner was held on June 5, 1968 whose attendees included ‘Mama’ Cass Elliot, Roman Polanski, and Sharon Tate, who was killed just over a year later by followers of Charlie Manson, whose music was 411

recorded by Doris Day’s son, music producer Terry Melcher, who lived with girlfriend Candace Bergen at 10050 Cielo Drive the year before it became a slaughterhouse after being rented by Polanski, who initially was slated to pen the screenplay for Day of the Dolphin, which purported to tell the story of Dr. John Lilly, who was a friend of Timothy Leary, whose Mellon family-owned Millbrook estate was frequently visited by Dr. Max ‘Feelgood’ Jacobson, who once ‘treated’ Judy Garland and who served as the personal physician of John Kennedy, whose assassination prompted the shelving of the film The Manchurian Candidate by its star, Frank Sinatra, who was a frequent companion of fellow ‘Rat Packer’ Sammy Davis, Jr., who was an acknowledged member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, from where Manson recruited killers Bobby ‘Cupid’ Beausoleil and Susan ‘Sexy Sadie’ Atkins, who confessed to her cellmates that she had stabbed to death actress Sharon Tate, who was inducted into witchcraft on the set of the Polanski-directed film The Fearless Vampire Killers by Alexander ‘King of the Witches’ Sanders, who received ‘training’ as a child from Aleister Crowley, whose followers included Anton LaVey and fellow Church of Satan member Kenneth Anger, who was the roommate (and probable lover) of (Manson) Family member Bobby Beausoleil, who once appeared in an underground film titled Mondo Hollywood, which also featured hairdresser and Manson victim Jay Sebring, who was a former lover of Sharon Tate, who was a friend of a wealthy widow named Charlene Caffritz, who played host to—and filmed the exploits of—Charlie and some of his girls, who also lived for a time with Beach Boy Dennis Wilson, who recorded a song penned by Charlie (Manson), who was an occasional member of the entourage of Mama Cass, who was listed as a defense witness for Charlie’s trial (but never called), as was her Mamas and the Papas band-mate John Phillips, who was close to Polanski, Tate, Melcher, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Cass Elliot, and film producer Robert Evans, who was working with—and very likely contracted the execution killing of—Roy Radin (a coinvestor of the 1984 A.D. movie The Cotton Club along with Las Vegas casino owners Edward and Fred Doumani, Arab arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and vaudeville promoter Roy Radin, who was eventually murdered), whose assistant was Michael DeVinko aka Mickie DeVinko aka Mickie Deans (Deans and Radin were associated with The Police Conference of New York, a police fund raising organization), who married—just a few months before her untimely death—Wizard of Oz star Judy Garland (suicided by an overdose of barbiturates), who as a teen was flooded with phone messages and telegrams by admirer Oscar Levant, whose dead body was found by Candace Bergen, who—as a photojournalist for Life magazine— covered the preempted presidential campaign of Robert Kennedy, who was romantically linked to Marilyn Monroe, who was also linked to Anton LaVey, who appeared in Kenneth Anger's Invocation of My Demon Brother (released in August of 1969) along with (Manson Family inner circle member) Bobby Beausoleil, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who was a guest at the 1968 London wedding of Sharon Tate to Roman Polanski, who—during a nude photo shoot—molested a thirteenyear-old girl at the home of Jack Nicholson, who was a friend of Cass Elliot, as were (Rosemary’s Baby producer) Robert Evans and Manson victims Jay Sebring, Voytek Frykowski and (Folger’s Coffee heiress) Abigail Folger, who provided funding for the Himalayan Academy, which Kenneth Anger helped form with Timothy Leary, who was at the side of the stage at the 1969 Altamont concert where—while The Rolling Stones played the Process Church-inspired Sympathy for the Devil—a fan 412

was killed on film by the Hell’s Angels (which was incorporated into the Rolling Stones’ film Gimme Shelter), who had been romanticized and transformed into antiestablishment heroes in the film Scorpio Rising by Kenneth Anger and the book Hell’s Angels by Hunter S. Thompson (Thompson it is interesting to note worked as a security guard/caretaker at Slate’s Hot Springs for Sequoia Seminar in Big Sur just prior to its becoming the Esalen Institute;; Thompson himself was ‘suicided’ in 2005 A.D.), both of whom have been accused of making snuff films for private collectors, which was also a favorite pastime of Charlie Manson, one of whose underage recruits was Didi Lansbury, who had written permission to travel with Charlie from her mother, Angela Lansbury, who starred as the control agent in The Manchurian Candidate, which was based on the novel of the same name by Richard Condon, who once served as a publicist for Walt Disney, who once owned the home where the Manson Family slaughtered Leno LaBianca and wife Rosemary, who was involved in the trafficking of drugs, as were many of those in this twisted saga, including Charles Manson, victims Voytek Frykowski and Abigail Folger, John Phillips and Kenneth Anger, who was a huge fan of the dark and violent imagery of the Rosicrucian-inspired, L. Frank Baum-penned Oz books, which inspired the band The Magick Powerhouse of Oz, which was led by Bobby Beausoleil, who was also at one time in the band Love with Arthur Lee, four of whose members later turned up dead or missing and presumed dead, as did Charlene Caffritz, Cass Elliot (who allegedly choked on a sandwich in 1974), Dennis Wilson (who allegedly drowned on December 28, 1983), and Gram Parsons (who lived in France for a time with Kieth Richards from the Rolling Stones), whose corpse was stolen and burned at Joshua Tree (National Park) on the autumnal equinox of 1973 by his band’s road manager, Phil Kaufman (according to vampire lore: “Vampirism has always been associated with black magic. Those who practiced black magic during their lifetime were particularly likely to become vampires after their death.” – An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by Doreen Valiente, 1973 A.D. One of the only remedies to this problem, it was said, was to burn the body of the practitioner of magic, to reduce the body to ashes [ibid pp.381,382]), who was a good friend from prison of Charlie Manson, who met (at Cass Elliot's house) and received money from victim Abigail Folger, who also funded Kenneth Anger, who at various times lived with both Jimmy Page (who purchased Crowley's home and many of his artifacts) and Keith Richards & Anita Pallenberg, whose home—in 1979—yielded the body of a teenager who had been shot to death, as was John Lennon the next year by Mark David Chapman, who shortly before doing so met with—and offered a gift of live bullets to—Kenneth Anger, whose films were cited as a major influence by photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who was implicated by witnesses in the Halloween 1981 execution killing of New York photographer Ronald Sisman (a close associate of Roy Radin), who was reportedly in possession of a snuff film of one of the Son of Sam murders, which were allegedly committed by David Berkowitz, who from prison accurately described the Sisman killing before it happened and who took the fall for the Son of Sam murders to cover up the involvement of others, including possibly Roy Radin and wealthy art dealer Andrew Crispo, who admitted being present at the site of a ritual murder which was committed by a man named Bernard LeGeros, who was the son of a State Department official, as was Pic Dawson, who was a regular member of the entourage of Cass Elliot (“Cass’ beau at the time of her fatal heart attack [variously ‘choking’] was Pic Dawson, then under investigation by Scotland Yard 413

for international drug smuggling, and the son of a State Department official under Henry Kissinger.” – The Covert War Against Rock by Alex Constantine), as was a onetime bodyguard of publisher Larry Flynt named Bill Mentzer, who was convicted of killing Radin and who was suspected of involvement in numerous other contract murders, including some of those attributed to (‘Son of Sam’ murderer) David Berkowitz, who was ‘examined’ by psychiatrist/hypnotist Daniel Schwartz, as was Mark David Chapman, who was obsessed with the film The Wizard of Oz and the book The Catcher in the Rye, which was written by reclusive author J.D. Salinger, who served in the OSS with Henry Kissinger, who was a close adviser to Gerald Ford, who once met and shook hands with Mark David Chapman, who was ‘examined’ by psychiatrist/hypnotist Bernard Diamond, who also ‘examined’ Sirhan Sirhan,who had connections to the Process Church, as did many of those ensnared in this sordid web, including Kenneth Anger, John Phillips, Roy Radin, David Berkowitz and Charlie Manson, who attended a New Year's Eve party at the home of John Phillips, who wrote the siren song of the ‘Summer of Love,’ bringing thousands of hippies and flower children streaming into San Francisco and into the hands of such figures as Louis ‘Dr. Jolly’ West (an American psychiatrist involved in LSD experimentation), Anton LaVey, Charlie Manson, Bobby Beausoleil, Timothy Leary and Kenneth Anger, who—just three days after the suspicious death of Rolling Stone Brian Jones—filmed the Hell’s Angels stomping the crowd at a 1969 (Rolling) Stones concert in London, just five months before they did the very same thing to the crowd at Altamont, which was organized by San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli, who consulted with F. Lee Bailey whilst the latter was busily railroading Albert DeSalvo and later consulted with Richard ‘The Night Stalker’ Ramirez, who was offered an honorary membership in the Church of Satan by Anton LaVey’s daughter Zeena, who along with boyfriend Nickolas Schreck staged an event on 8-8-88 celebrating the slaughter of the victims of the Manson Family, who some researchers believe were involved in the murders attributed to the ‘Zodiac,’ who called and sent correspondence to Melvin Belli, whose clients included the widow of Hermann Goering and Jack Ruby, who assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald, the purported assassin of John Kennedy, whose brother Robert was romantically linked to Jayne Mansfield, as was Anton LaVey, who served as Roman Polanski’s technical director on the1968 film Rosemary’s Baby (Polanski’s mother died in a German concentration camp), which was set in New York’s Dakota Apartments, where John Lennon was gunned down by Mark David Chapman, who shared a fixation on The Catcher in the Rye with failed assassin John Hinckley, Jr., who stalked actress Jodie Foster, who is working on a film biography of Leni Riefenstahl, who was met by— and admired by—fellow filmmaker Kenneth Anger, who laced his film Scorpio Rising with Nazi imagery, including the prominent use of swastikas, not unlike the one carved into the forehead of Charlie Manson (“Next to George Spahn’s property [the Spahn Movie Ranch where was located the main Manson Family commune] stretched the Krupp Ranch, owned by one of the wealthiest families in Nazi Germany, a ranking sponsor of Hitler’s aggression and its accompanying atrocities.”

– The War Against Rock by Alex Constantine), who—at the Cielo Drive home of Polanski and Tate—had a chance meeting with Nancy Sinatra, the daughter of Frank Sinatra, who was married to actress Mia Farrow, who starred in the Polanski-directed Rosemary’s Baby (for which movie Anton LaVey served as occult advisor), which was produced by Robert Evans, a friend of Henry Kissinger, who was the right hand 414

man of President Richard Nixon, whose election was insured by the assassination of Robert Kennedy by Sirhan Sirhan, who was yet another client of Melvin Belli, as were the Hell’s Angels and Nazi-collaborator Errol Flynn, who made two films with Ronald Reagan, who was an occasional visitor to the childhood home of Candace Bergen, who—as a photojournalist—chronicled the short-lived administration of Gerald Ford, who married one of his friend Harry Conover’s ‘Covergirls,’ who later opened the Betty Ford Center, where various celebrities in and out of this web routinely check in for tune-ups.” – The Falling Republic (Tuesday, April 10, 2007 A.D.).

A sordid web it is indeed.

Added to the list of individuals influenced by the Thesophical Society is David Spangler, prominent architect and theoretician of the modern New Age movement. The following is one of his notable quotes: “No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation.” – Reflections on the Christ by David Spangler (whose name by one account is “an anagram for ‘Grandpas Devil’”; go ahead, check it out, it is! ‘Grandpa’ was H.P. Lovecraft’s nickname for himself), one-time co-director of the Findhorn Foundation, a Scottish charitable trust registered in 1972 A.D. by the spiritualist community (read: commune) at the Findhorn Ecovillage in Great Britain; Spangler was the featured speaker at the Fellowship of Universal Guidance in the Los Angeles area, California; according to his page at the Lorian Association website, “since 1974 he has been a Fellow of the Lindisfarne Association (located in Crestone, Colorado)—an association of scientists, artists, philosophers, economists, and spiritual leaders (whose membership ranks included John Michell, author of The Flying Saucer Vision, who taught at its School of Sacred Architecture during the 1980s) working at the cutting edge of scientific and cultural transformation…His current work involves developing and teaching a spiritual practice called Incarnational Spirituality.” In the words of David Spangler himself: “Incarnational Spirituality recognizes the non-physical or spiritual realms as part of the larger wholeness and coherency of the world and teaches methods of forming alliances with spiritual forces” (See David’s Page at the Lorian Association website). The ‘spiritual forces’ of which he speaks and with whom they would form an alliance, are, of course, the rebellious fallen angels! It must be noted The Oprah Winfrey Show guest motivational-speaker and New Age-author Marianne Williamson, whose Spiritualist book A Course in Miracles was brought to prominence as an Oprah's Book Club offering, cites David Spangler as a friend and mentor. Oprah Winfrey is one of the latest influential persons of note to take up the New Age Spiritualist mantle. (Anger/LaVey-associated Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is currently connected with Madonna’s Kabbalah Centre [a proponent of Jewish mysticism] in the City of Fallen Angels, Los Angeles, California [as is Ashton Kutcher and Gwyneth Paltrow, amongst a host of other celebs]. Closely associated with the Kabbalah Centre [headquartered in Los Angeles, CA] is the United Nations children’s charity UNICEF. There exists 40 such affiliated Kabbalah Centres worldwide, including one in London, England. No longer sole property of Jewish elites, the Kabbalah Centre serves Kabballah to the mystical masses: “In 1971, with virtually no money, Karen Berg and her husband, Philip Berg—the spiritual leader known to followers as the Rav—opened their first Kabbalah Centre, turning traditional Jewish wisdom upside down by offering Kabbalah study to women and non-Jews. The Bergs had a

– Goldberg/Thomson 2005 A.D.) (Anton LaVey circa 1971 A.D. writes: “We are living in

the only period in history in which it is considered fashionable to be a witch. Given this complete public acceptance, an understandable tendency towards fadism develops. The once-stigmatizing label of ‘witch’ has become a title of positive intrigue and has attained a status never before realized. But this marks a considerable transition in the image of the witch. The biblical warnings against witches were such that it meant torture and death for anyone accused of the heresy of witchcraft. The Middle Ages was the worst period in history for a person to be accused of sorcery.

However, the only similarity to today's witch is the glamorous appearance that some of the condemned women of the witch trials possessed. It is quite obvious from the charges leveled against many innocent girls that their only crime was in being sexually appealing.” - The Satanic Witch (published 1989 A.D.) by Anton LaVey, first published in 1971 A.D. under the title: The Compleat Witch. Magic-themed T.V. shows featuring such sexually appealing practitioners of magic hit the1960’s networks with I Dream of Jeannie (“I Dream of Jeannie is a 1960s American sitcom with a fantasy premise. The show starred Barbara Eden as a 2000-year-old genie (jinni/fallen angel), and Larry Hagman as an astronaut who becomes her master, with whom she falls in love and eventually marries. Produced by Screen Gems, the show originally aired from September 1965 to…September 1970…” – Wikipedia: I Dream of Jeannie. Note the tie in with angels (and the co-mingling of human and jinni/angel), rocketry, and the N.A.S.A. space program) which provided its very own interesting spin on the story of the jinn (fallen angels) as well as Bewitched with its lovable blundering family of witches (“Bewitched is an American situation comedy (also by Screen Gems) originally broadcast for eight seasons on ABC from 1964 to 1972, starring Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York (1964–69) and Dick Sargent (1969–72), Agnes Moorehead, and David White. The show is about a witch who marries a mortal and tries to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife. Bewitched continues to be seen throughout the world in syndication and on DVD and was the longest-running supernatural-themed sitcom of the 1960s–1970s era.” - Wikipedia: Bewitched). Grandpa from The Munsters (1964 A.D. – 1966 A.D.) was also an avid if at times ineffectual practitioner of magic as is another family of teenage wizards on the Disney-sanctioned t.v. program Wizards of Wavely Place (“Wizards of Waverly Place is a Disney Channel Original television series that premiered on October 12, 2007. It won “Outstanding Children's Program” at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards in 2009. A film adaptation of the series, Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, premiered as a Disney Channel Original Movie on August 28, 2009; In 2010, the film adaptation won “Outstanding Children's Program” at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards. The series was created by Todd J. Greenwald, and stars Selena Gomez, David Henrie and Jake T. Austin as three wizard siblings with magical abilities competing to win sole custody of the family powers.” - Wikipedia: Wizards of Waverly Place) and Sabrina the Teenage Witch (“Sabrina the Teenage Witch (titled Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies during its first season) is an American animated series produced by Filmation that aired on CBS from 1970 to 1974…” Wikipedia: Sabrina the Teenage Witch). Other later popular magic-themed shows include a live version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed (“Charmed is an American television series that originally aired from 416

October 7, 1998, until May 21, 2006…” - Wikipedia: Charmed. Charmed featured the antics of a group of four “sexually appealing” witches) and Supernatural (“Supernatural is an American drama and horror television series created by Eric Kripke, which debuted on September 13, 2005 on The WB, and is now part of The CW's lineup. Starring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, the series follows the brothers as they hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal.” - Wikipedia: Supernatural. There is also a new show called The Secret Circle© about a magic circle of youngish witches. American public interest in UFOs and space travel also was at a peak during the 1960’s ushering in such popular television programs as The Jetsons (1962 – 1963 A.D., again, by Screen Gems), My Favorite Martian (1963 – 1966 A.D.), Lost in Space (1965 – 1968 A.D.) and Star Trek (1966 – 1969 A.D., created by professed Humanist Gene Roddenberry. The professed mission of Star Trek’s Star Ship Enterprise was, of course, to “Seek out and contact alien life forms”) (As we learn from Louis MacNeice in his book Astrology (1964 A.D.), in the early 60’s there numbered over 5,000 working astrologers catering to some 10,000,000 customers in the U.S.A. The most popular astrological magazine, Horoscope, had a monthly circulation of 170,000 and that worldwide “innumerable periodicals” included “a regular horoscope feature,” amongst which was Elle © Magazine read by over “half of the French adult population.” Theosophical Society teachings, it must be noted, are flavored with tenets encountered in Indian astrology. At one point in the 20th Century the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical Society was holding weekly lectures. In fact, the era which oversaw the creation of the Theosophical Society in 1875 A.D. amidst a 19th Century Anglican explosion of interest in all things occult was similar in nature to the occult resurgence of the 1960’s. That period witnessed the publication of Zadkiel’s Handbook of Astrolgy (1861 A.D.) written by ex-Royal Navy Englishman Richard James Morrison, who also had published an annual astrological almanac which sold 60,000 copies annually; Raphiel’s Witch also circulated at this time, such astrological almanacs/publications considered to be haute-coultre in 19th Century Victorian England. Carrying on the example of the sorcerer astrologers of the Rennaissance, the 1880’s witnessed astrologers (including Alan Leo, a soldier in a Scottish regiment) assuming such exotic angelic pseudonyms as Aphorel, Charubel, Casael and Sephariel. This resurgence in occult astrological interest continued well into the 20th Century and in its current watered down state enjoys a certain degree of popularity even today. Predicting the future has always been a popular pastime. In fact, by World War I, an astrological publication entitled Zadkiel’s Almanac was selling more than 200,000 copies per year. Some early 20 th Century astrologers of the period geared their predictions towards the handicapping of horse races as well as towards cherry-picking stock market winners. Today there exists an American Federation of Astrologers geared towards the publication of astrological books. It must be noted the author of the book entitled Astrology (1964 A.D.), namely, Louis MacNiece, a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, was an attendee of England’s Marlborough College (founded in 1843 A.D. for the education of the sons of Church of England clergy) and a member of its quasiMasonic Honorable Fraternity of the Amici (founded in 1851 A.D.). The Honorable Fraternity of the Amici is a secret society based in Marlborough College, England and named after the Italian astronomer/astrologer/ceremonial magician Giovanni Battista Amici (1786 – 1863 A.D.). The Fraternity has lodges in most of the larger 417

private schools, the most significant lodges being in Wellington, Eton and Radley.

Based upon Masonic rituals and ceremonies, the symbols of the Fraternity include the ‘All Seeing Eye’ of Horus/Azazel, the Masonic Supreme Being. MacNeice also has ties to Oxford University, bastion of the infamous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Louis MacNeice, it turns out, was an acquaintance of W.B. Yeats (as well as T.S. Elliot), who was, like MacNeice, an Irish magic-practicing poet. W.B. Yeats (like Aleister Crowley) was a leading member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as well as a prominent member of the Theosophical Society (as was MacNeice). MacNeice was also a playwrite/producer of a number of British Broadcasting Center (BBC) radio plays) (It was the British Labour Party itself, the political party of so many self-professed Spiritists, Spiritualists, Theosophical Society members, Rosicrucians, Freemasons, ceremonial magicians, New Agers and SPR men, as we learn, which succeeded in pulling the teeth from existing British Witchcraft Acts allowing for the resurgence in interest in all things occult, and thusly paving the way for the 1960s countercultural revolution in both England and America: “In 1736 James I’s Witchcraft Act of 1604 was repealed, and replaced by an Act which said in effect that there was no such thing as witchcraft, and that anyone who pretended to occult powers was ipso facto a fraud, and should be prosecuted as such. It was under this Act, coupled with the Vagrancy Act, that spiritualist mediums were prosecuted up to 1951. In 1951, as we have seen, it was repealed in its turn and replaced by the Fraudulent Mediums Act. This again reflected the change in intellectual climate, from the rather materialistic rationalism of the 18th and early 19th Centuries to the present-day investigations into parapsychology, psychic research and study generally as pioneered by such bodies as the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) and such philosophers as Carl Gustav Jung, together with the rise of such movements as Spiritualism and Theosophy. Once again the spirit of the age has changed, and the change is reflected in its laws...In 1953, two more articles about Black Magic in Britain appeared in the October and November issues of a psychic periodical, now defunct. Among all the usual sensationalism, tales of “pacts with the Devil,” “blood sacrifices,” “black rites,” “orgies,” etc., etc., appeared this significant passage: “Spiritualists recently rejoiced that they had at last been granted their “freedom charter.” One of the last things the Labour Government did was to place upon the Statute Book the Fraudulent Mediums Act which replaced the centuries-old Witchcraft Act and Vagrancy Act, under which mediums were open to prosecution every time they held a seance or conducted a service in a Spiritualist church. For many years Spiritualists in and out of the House of Commons had been campaigning for the withdrawal of these two Acts, but some people who had a little more vision warned that abolition would open the door for all sorts of occult practices, some of which were undesirable to say the least. That is exactly what has happened.” Some of the stories retailed in these articles were identical with those which had been told in 1951. Further, we were informed that “A journalist who was carrying out an investigation of certain Occult practices was forced to drop his story as being ‘too hot to handle’ when he found the identity of some of the people involved.” “High officials of political parties,” we were told, “consulted occultists.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D.). Et tu, Brutus? Et tu?

In the true spirit of the Theosophical Society amidst the resurgence of interest in occultism also comes the venerable Monroe Institute. In the bookstore on the Monroe Institute’s website (www.monroeinstitute.org, March 6, 2011 A.D.) one may find the following books for sale: Listening to Extraterrestrials by Lisette Larkins: “UFO Phenomena have been examined by experts from every angle, and there is no shortage of theories about what the ETs are up to and why. Instead of guessing and theorizing, why not learn how to communicate with the extraterrestrials yourself? As evolved and enlightened beings, many ETs are available to help and mentor you as a spiritual coach once your telepathic connection has been established. This book is the first of its kind, teaching simple techniques that enable real communication with extraterrestrials.”

Talking to Extraterrestrials by Lisette Larkins: “You might be surprised to know that millions of otherwise ordinary people around the world are currently having some sort of contact with extraterrestrials, but have never told anyone for fear of ridicule – and worse. Lisette Larkins is such an ‘experiencer’ and embodies a brave new voice, poised to spearhead a movement in which others like her finally step forward in greater numbers and share with us what they have learned from these fascinating beings.”

“The Monroe Institute (TMI) (named after its founder Robert Monroe) is a nonprofit education and research organization devoted to the exploration of human consciousness, based in Faber, Virginia, United States. Upwards of 20,000 people are estimated to have attended TMI’s residential Gateway program during its first thirty years…TMI claims a policy of no dogma or bias with respect to belief system, religion, political or social stance (a typical Theosophical Society-style approach)…It comprises several buildings on 300 acres (1.2 km2) of land south of Charlottesville (which is kinda near the CIA headquarters in Langley), Virginia, USA. One of its activities includes teaching various techniques…to expand consciousness and explore areas of consciousness not normally available in the waking state (in an effort to achieve ‘altered states of consciousness’). In 1978, the U.S. military evaluated TMI and arranged to send officers there for OBE (out of body experience, also known as ‘remote viewing’) 419

training. In 1983, it sent further officers…In 1994 a front page article in the Wall Street Journal reported confirmation from the former director of the Intelligence and Security Command of the U.S. Army sending personnel to the institute. It also stated the opinion of the head of the Zen Buddhist temple in Vancouver British Columbia that “Gateway (TMI) students can reach meditation states in a week that took [me] years of sitting.” A reporter for The Hook, weekly newspaper for Charlottesville, Virginia, who visited The Monroe Institute said, “...with a few exceptions, the only ‘normal’ people with whom I could fully identify were the trainers, who seemed remarkably well-grounded for people whose day-to-day experiences include astral projection and disembodied spirits.” The reporter also concluded that “there is something significant being developed at the Institute. Whether it's just a brilliant guided meditation (complete with trance-inducing stereoscopic sound) or a doorway to a world of spirit entities, I cannot say.” – Wikipedia: The Monroe Institute (Army intelligence also carried out behavioral modificational experimentation such as those conducted under MKULTRA. No doubt this represented a continuation of this program. But again, to quote the Wiccan, they were intending to scientifically study occult phenomonom while proceeding “to cut out the theology, and study the mechanism of the practical mystic” experience, a process most often including the use of psychedelic drugs. Fast forward to the 1990’s: “Dr. Rick Strassman’s experiments are also worthy of our attention. He presented them in his popular book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule. He was probably the first physician that the American government (legally and not covertly, this author feels the need to add) allowed to perform experiments with the DMT drug on volunteers [DMT-containing plants are commonly employed in South American Shamanistic magic rituals]. They were performed from 1990 to 1995 at New Mexico’s School of Medicine in Albuquerque. Strassman expected the volunteers to have mystical and near-death experiences. Yet many unexpectedly reported seeing ‘beings’ who resembled extraterrestrials…” - The Invisible Influences by Živorad Mihajlović-Slavinski, 2008) California has long had an occult association, most notably exhibited by Bohemian Grove magick ceremonies. Another such example of a California-based magick society is the O.T.A. whose roots belong to this 1960’s resurgence in all things occult: “The Order of the Temple of Astarte (the OTA; Astarte is the name of a goddess who represented the angel Azazel’s human wife) in Pasadena, California is a ‘hermetic’ occult organization that practices ‘Magick in the Western Tradition.’ The cult is led by Fraters Khenemel, a police officer, and Aleyin, a veteran Green Beret (a member of the U.S. Army’s elite Special Forces group). The cult’s everyday language is unusual for a mystical order—one group schedule is laden with words (common in military parlance) like ‘operation,’ ‘sixteen-thirty hours,’ and ‘travel orders’ (no doubt still under government employ). Demonology (the study of demons which are fallen angels) is among the OTA’s primary occult interests. The police connection recalls the statement of Louis Tackwood, the former LAPD provocateur whose revelations of secret police subterfuge set off a political tempest in Los Angeles in 1973. “You don’t know,” he told journalist Donald Freed, “but there’s a devil worship cult in Pasadena. Actually in Altadena (an unincorporated area directly north of Pasadena).” Tackwood alleged that the cultists were ‘on the LAPD payroll.’” This reference to the “devil worship cult in Pasadena”

is probably at least in part in reference to and possibly in association with the California lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis: “The Riverside Lodge of the Ordo Templis Orientis (OTO): Also known as The Solar Lodge of the OTO, which followed the teachings of cult messiah Aleister Crowley…high priest of the OTO and a British intelligence agent, gave Winifred T. Smith a charter to open an OTO lodge in Pasadena (California). The high priest of the lodge was Jack Parsons (who like Crowley claimed to be in communication with his ‘Holy Guardian Angel,’ in both cases the fallen angel Azazel), a rocket expert and founder of the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). The OTO’s Solar Lodge in San Bernardino was presided over by Georgina “Jean” Brayton, the daughter of a ranking Air Force officer in the 1960’s.” - Psychic Dictatorship in the U.S.A. (Alex Constantine, 1995 A.D.). It must also be noted 33° Scottish rite Freemason Manly P. Hall’s Philosophical Research Society specializing in all things occult is headquarted there in L.A. in Hollywood Hills (Hollywood Hills is an exclusive affluenrt area bound by Laurel Canyon Boulevard to the west, Vermont Avenue to the east, Mulholland Drive [Griffith Park] to the north, and Sunset Boulevard to the south.). Now back to the OTA. I went to its Yahoo Groups© posting where I was greeted with a hearty: “Welcome to the Church of the Hermetic Sciences and Ordo Templi Astarte E-Group! We are probably the oldest continually operating magickal lodge in America. We got started back in 1969, got ourselves incorporated in 1971, and began performing (pagan) Canaanite Seasonal Ceremonies on the Solstices and Equinoxes back in 1974. Our specialty is Solomonic Ritual Magick (a reference to the grimoire known as The Greater Key of Solomon)—we are the folks who summon spirits to visible appearance in the dark mirror (a reference to the mirror Maja of the Magi, also known as the Eternal Mirror of Wonders and the Hindu Magic Mirror; it is believed a genii/demon/spirit can be ritually entrapped within such a devise. Such a magic mirror is showcased in California-based Walt Disney's 1937 A.D. animated classic entitled Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs where it is therein employed by the magic-practicing evil witch Queen. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who’s most gullible amongst us all?). We also have a journal, The Seventh Ray (named in deference to C. W. Leadbeater in Glimpses of Masonic History (circa 1926 A.D.) in which he writes: “the seventh ray is beginning to dominate the world - the ray of ceremonial magic which brings the especial cooperation of the Angelic hosts,” no doubt those of the fallen variety), which was something of an ‘underground classic’ back in the 70’s. Check it out! Our Headquarters (O.T.A. #3) for the Church and the Order is here in Silverado, California. The Church sponsors the Ordo Templi Astartes (O.T.A.) which is an initiatory order working three degrees of the ancient ‘Crata Repoa’ Tradition in our fully equipped Hermetic Temples (a reference to the Crata Repoa, subtitled ‘Initiations to the Ancient Mysteries of the Priests of Egypt.’ Initiates into the Egyptian Mysteries were subjected to tests designed to mimic the experience of Azazel and his fallen angels at the time of their descent to our Earth). We are compatible with the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn and the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) Traditions. Good Magick!” - Frater ELMO, 9th Degree Elven Magic User (Hal Von Hofe) (typical Dungeons and Dragons© terminology.

Magic practices were introduced to the fertile minds of many adolescents through this magicbased fantasy role playing game) (See www.groups.yahoo.com/group/OTA-L). Another such occultist associated with the military/aerospace fields is Edward Fitch: “Edward “Ed” Fitch (born April 29, 1937 in Roxboro, North Carolina) is an occult author and a High Priest of the Gardnerian Wicca tradition, and was a leading figure in the rise of contemporary Wicca and Neo-Paganism in America. He presently lives in Orange County, California. Fitch was a graduate of Virginia Military Institute, and a United States Air Force commissioned officer, eventually retiring with the rank of Captain…he returned to the US as a civilian, and took employment as a technical writer and electronics engineer in Washington D.C. Fitch, who has also gone under the name “Ea” (a Sumerian name for Azazel) was initiated by (“The Father of American Wicca,” who introduced his brand of Wicca in America in 1963 A.D.) Raymond Buckland (who is, as per his website, “full-blooded Rom (Gypsy),” and who is by definition an English ‘cunning man,’ a self-styled “witch” who would “like to see witchcraft established…as a recognized religion.” He is the author of Buckland’s Book of Spirit

421

Communication (as well as many other books on witchcraft and the occult) and creator of the Buckland Spirit Board (also known as ‘talking boards’), which brands him, by definition, a ‘Spiritualist’) in 1967, while stationed in Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. He is one of the creators (along with Joseph Bearwalker Wilson and Thomas Giles) of “The Pagan Way,” an outer court neo-Pagan tradition. He was one of the editors of The Waxing Moon, a magazine founded by Joseph B. Wilson in 1964, and the first magazine devoted to Witchcraft in America (later re-named The Crystal Well). In the mid 1970s, Fitch also helped to organize and chaired two Pagan Ecumenical Councils to establish the Covenant of the Goddess (COG) as an international umbrella organization representing Pagans. Through the 1980s Fitch continued to perform as a Gardnerian (Wicca) High Priest, but his researches also led him to initiation in a number of other traditions and orders, including: Faerie faith, Mosian, the Order of Osiris (the Egyptian god Osiris represented Behemoth/Azazel), the Order of the Temple of Astarte (the OTA—devoted to the goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife) and Norse, and Ceremonial magick (code for black magic).” - Wikipedia: Ed Fitch, “the author of several books on magic and Neo-Pagan topics.” Are such occult groups fronts for military intelligence operations? And are they run by those in communication with these fallen angels, working under their auspices? You make the call. But first, consider the following notable quote: “The importance of espionage in military affairs has been recognized since the beginning of recorded history. The Egyptians had a well-developed secret service, and spying and subversion are mentioned in the ‘Iliad’ and in the ‘Bible.’ The ancient Chinese treatise (c.500 B.C.) on the Art of War (see Sun Tzu) devotes much attention to deception and intelligence gathering, arguing that all war is based on deception. Whilst Sun Tzu was unknown to Niccolo Machiavelli many of his concepts found new vigour within Machiavelli’s writings (hence the term Machiavellian Plot). In the Middle Ages, political espionage became important. Joan of Arc (the Witch of Domremy) was betrayed by Bishop Pierre Cauchon of Beauvais, a spy in the pay of the English, and Sir Francis Walsingham developed an efficient political spy system for Elizabeth I (See also Francis Walsingham’s acolytes Christopher Marlowe and Francis Bacon [both known practitioners of magic]). With the growth of the modern national state, systematized espionage became a fundamental part of government in most countries. Joseph Fouché is credited with developing the first modern political espionage system, and Frederick II of Prussia [a major supporter of the magic arts] is regarded as the founder of modern military espionage. During the American Revolution, Nathan Hale and Benedict Arnold [both high-degree Freemasons of the magic-practicing degrees] achieved fame as spies, and there was considerable use of spies on both sides during the U.S. Civil War; though it was not until the Second World War that the USA convincingly took to espionage.”

– Scratch a Magus, Find a Spy by Iona Miller) Pasadena, it must be importantly mentioned, was the location of Jet Propulsion Laboratory with its famous occult connections: “Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a federally funded research and development center and NASA field center located in the San Gabriel Valley area of Los Angeles County, California, United States. The facility is headquartered in the city of Pasadena on the border of La Cañada Flintridge and Pasadena. JPL is managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).” – Wikipedia: Jet Propulsion Laboratory. JPL employees, including the magic practicing Jack Parsons who was working with the Von Braun group of Nazi rocket scientists, would be expected to populate this area: “Flying saucer mythology took hold in a big way in the 1950s, wrapped in gaudy pulp covers and flashed on movie screens. Jack Parsons, the CalTech rocket pioneer and high priest of the OTO’s Agape Lodge in Pasadena— and one of the first Americans to report a UFO sighting (he claims to have had a face to face encounter with an alien being in 1946 A.D.!)—was addicted to science fiction (interestingly enough, many science fiction stories contain elements of magic and witchcraft, and incidentally enough, many science fiction writers were members of Anton LaVey’s Order of the Trapezoid (established 1955 A.D.) during the 1950s. Members of the Order of the

422

Trapezoid (also known as The Magic Circle) would later serve as the governing body of LaVey’s later creation, the Church of Satan (See The Church of Satan: A Brief History by Blanche Barton, 2003 A.D.). Parsons regularly attended meetings of the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society (established 1934 A.D.; sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury joined in 1937 A.D. Aldous Huxley, who also wrote science fiction, was a friend of Ray Bradbury), where in 1945 the black (magick) adept (he took "the Oath of the Anti-Christ" in 1949) met Lt. Commander L. Ron Hubbard (who took part in a number of magic rituals with Jack Parsons himself; Hubbard, a member of Naval Intelligence, claims he was working in an official Intelligance capacity), who made "alien" visitations an integral part of a religious doctrine he called Scientology. The OTO was founded between 1895 and 1900 by a pair of powerful Freemasons, Karl Kellner and Theodor Reuss. Politically, the order was right-wing in the extreme, proposing the creation of a pan-German world based on pagan spiritual beliefs.

Kellner died in 1905, and Reuss, a former spy for the Prussian Secret Service, assumed the office of high caliph. While living in London, Reuss spied on German socialist expatriates. In 1912 he made the acquaintance of Aleister Crowley (a British spy), and appointed him head of the OTO’s British chapter… The OTO was typical of the proto-Nazi occult movement that captivated the young Adolph Hitler, Rudolph Hess and other leaders of the emerging National Socialist Workers Party, itself a spin-off of Germany’s Thule Gesellcheft, an Aryan occult society…In 1938, Crowley boasted proudly to novelist Aldous Huxley that his OTO had contributed to Hitler’s political fortunes.” – The OTO and the CIA: Ordis Templis Intelligentis (Alex Constantine). (“Parsons’ Jet Propulsion Laboratories [established 1944 A.D.] grew out of the Harry Guggenheim-funded, Guggenheim Aronautical Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology (GALCIT). According to Michael A. Hoffmann II: GALCIT had been run by the ‘Hungarian-Jewish scientist Professor Theodore von Karman [Karman along with Jack Parsons and Julian Huxley-associate Frank Malina founded a company called Aerojet General in 1936 A.D. Aerojet was more famously known for producing solid-fuel rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle projects], who claimed to be a direct descendant of Rabbi Judah Loew’ ben Bezazel of Prague (ca. 1520-1609). Von Karman himself was a close associate of US Army General H. H. ‘Hap’ Arnold [Arnold procurred grant money for Parsons, Malina and von Karman in support of their work in the field of rocketry at CalTech; Arnold worked with von Karmen for many years after WWII] and an advisor to [Oddfellow-member and U.S. President] Franklin Roosevelt. Rabbi Loew (a Jewish Kabbalist) was in turn the tutor of Dr. John Dee, producer of the Enochian (magic) system. Rabbi Loew is most famous, however, for the legend he succeeded in creating artificial life, the Kabbalistic entity known as the Golem…” – Blood on the Altar by Craig Heimbichner, 2005 A.D. Von Karman himself was also well versed in Kabbalah) (The story of Jack Parsons’ Agape Lodge No. 2 runs through the very streets of Captain Al Hubbard’s old haunt in Vancouver, Canada. It was in Vancouver where Charles Stansfeld: “...Jones sought from Crowley the authority to begin O.T.O. initiatory work in Canada. The result was the first operation of the Mysteria Mystica Maxima degrees in North America, and the founding of British Columbia Lodge #1, where the original founders of Agape Lodge (including Jack Parsons) were first initiated...Jones became Grand Treasurer General after Crowley removed (Sir) George MacNie Cowie (VIII) from the post in 1918...Jones was eventually made Grand Master (X°) for North America by Theodor Reuss.” – Wikipedia: Charles Stansfeld Jones. It was this Canadian Lodge of the O.T.O. which gave birth to Jack Parsons’ O.T.O. Agape Lodge in Pasadena, CA. It is also where we encounter Wilfred T. Smith who: “...began his magical career in Vancouver under Frater Achad (Charles Stansfeld Jones), who was at the time head of the O.T.O for Canada and North America. (Aleister) Crowley first met Smith in Vancouver in 1915. As a result of the meeting Smith was given permission to establish a Lodge of the Order at Winona Boulevard. This he did, together with a Sister of the Order (a High-Priestess) named Regina Kahl. Some time later he moved to 1003 South Orange Grove Avenue—Pasadena, California—the place which eventually became the headquarters of the O.T.O. in America. It was there that Smith seduced Helen Parsons, the wife of a promising young scientist named John W. (Jack) Parsons who

423

was known in the Order as Frater 210. Smith had a child by Helen...because of this Parsons directed his affection to Helen’s younger sister, Betty, who became his mistress and maical partner in the ceremonies of Agape Lodge.” – The Magickal Revival by Kenneth Grant.

Recall that American Captain Al Hubbard had been illicitly involved in the transfer of arms to British military forces prior to America’s entry into World War II and that the Outer Head of the O.T.O. Aleister Crowley’s right-hand man was none other than the premier British military strategist of his time, Major-General John Frederick Charles Fuller. No doubt a connection exists here.

Another such Pasadena, California magic connection is the Theosophical Society (Pasadena): “The Theosophical Society (Pasadena) is a successor organization to the original Theosophical Society founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and others in 1875. This successor organization, which after several name changes once again now titles itself simply the Theosophical Society, though often with the clarifying statement, "International Headquarters, Pasadena, California," traces its beginnings to 1895 when William Quan Judge was expelled by Annie Besant after Blavatsky's death because he was faithful to the teachings of the Mahatmas (who are fallen angels). The faction led by Henry Steel Olcott and Annie Besant, whose organization, based in India, is today known as the Theosophical Society Adyar. Judge led the American group for about a year until his death in 1898, when (Katherine) Tingley became manager. A group of roughly 200 members led by Ernest Temple Hargrove disputed Tingley's leadership, seceded, and formed a rival faction. Tingley (founder of the Point Loma Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society Homestead) later moved her Society's headquarters from New York City to Point Loma, California (Point Loma.

Remember this name. It crops up again and again in our tale. Interesting enough, there was a connection between the Point Loma Theosophical Society group and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the person of British writer Talbot Mundy. Mundy, who for more tha ten years served the Britsh government in India and who had also spent time in Tibet, had lived for a time at the theosophical Nicholas Roerich Institute in New York (with which Alan Watts is connected). A photo exists portraying theosophist Nicholas Roerich, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi together on Roerich’s estate in Kullu, once known as Kulanthpitha - `the end of the habitable world` beyond which rose the monumental heights of the Greater Himalayas.

Nicholas Roerich’s estate there in India served as a sort of weigh-station/jumping-off point for those in search of the legendary Shamballa, the place they believed to be the true location of Azazel’s subterranean imprisonment. Another member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, George William Russell, was a former member of Tingley’s Point Loma Universal Brotherhood). Max Heindel was vice president during 1904 and 1905 (“Max Heindel - born Carl Louis von Grasshoff in Aarhus, Denmark on July 23, 1865 - was a Christian occultist, astrologer, and mystic. He died on January 6, 1919 at Oceanside, California, United States.”

Heindel was the founder of the Rosicrucian Fellowship in San Francisco, California). Later managers include Gottfried de Purucker, 1929-42 (“Gottfried de Purucker (January 15, 1874, Suffern, New York – September 27, 1942) was an author and Theosophist who joined the Theosophical Society on August 16, 1893”);; Grace Knoche and currently Randell Grubb.” Wikipedia: Theosophical Society Pasadena. Which brings us to James A. Long: “James A. Long was leader of the Theosophical Society (Pasadena) from 1951 until his death in 1971.

Born in 1898 to a poor family in York, Pennsylvania, he contracted polio as a boy and always walked with a cane. Following a career in private business, he worked during World War II as management consultant in the Office of the Quartermaster General in Washington, DC, and was later transferred to the Department of State where he assisted in the changeover to peacetime responsibilities. While there, Mr. Long was sent as an Advisor to the US Delegation to the United Nations at the opening of its Second Session in 1946. After a long and extensive search for a satisfying philosophy of life, in 1935 he joined the Theosophical Society, then headquartered at Point Loma, California, and led by Gottfried de Purucker. He worked closely with Colonel Arthur L. Conger, who lived near Washington, DC. Colonel Conger was

424

reelected president of the American Section in 1939, and shortly thereafter he appointed Mr. Long its business manager. Mr. Long also helped Colonel Conger with the section magazine and himself edited a pocket-sized monthly, Theosophical Nuggets (1940-1944). Colonel Conger became leader of the TS (the Theosophical Society) in October 1945. That year Mr. Long was appointed a Cabinet member and, upon retirement from government service in 1947, he joined the staff of the international headquarters, which had relocated to Covina (near Point Loma), California, in 1942. In December 1950, Colonel Conger sent him on a world tour in order to contact officials and members with regard to the future work of the Society. He returned just ten days before Colonel Conger's death on February 21, 1951.” - Publisher's Foreword 1951 Tour Reports by James A. Long. Note the high-placed military as well as U.N. and international connections. Long writes circa 1965 A.D.: “Whatever name or outer form this archaic tradition took in eras preceding the Christian (it took the form of Spirit communication/the magical invocation and worship of fallen angels, who by definition are extraterrestrials), in lands to the north or south, east or west, from the third century AD it became known as theosophia – “wisdom of things divine,” as taught in Alexandria by Ammonius Saccas (one of the founders of Neoplatonism, circa 3rd Century A.D.). Concealed from public knowledge because of the already closing minds of the early Church Fathers (1 st – 8th Centuries A.D.) whose theological bickerings are of record, this wisdom continued as a steady stream of guidance not alone for the Kabbalists—who studied secretly their ‘theosophy of the angels’ during the dark periods of the Middle Ages (“The Middle Ages was a period of European history from the 5th century to the 15th century. The period followed the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476.” - Wikipedia: The Middle Ages)—but acted as stimulus to the leading lights of the Renaissance (14th to the 17th century): to Paracelsus, Pico della Mirandola, Leonardo da Vinci, (Giordanao) Bruno (1548-1600 A.D. Notable Bruno Quote: “Innumerable suns exist; innumerable Earths revolve around these—living beings inhabit these worlds.” – Giordano Bruno), Kepler (Johannes Kepler, famed astrologer/astronomer/sorcerer. As we learn from science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke on p.5 of The Promise of Space, 1968 A.D.: “Kepler lived in an age that still believed in magic, and indeed his own mother had been charged with witchcraft.” Considering the evidence, traditional and historical, one might conclude Kepler was also a sorcerer, a conjurer of fallen angels, as early astronomers/astrologers were known to be such) and a host of other scientists, philosophers, poets and artists. Was it an accident that the writings of Jakob Boehme (15751624 A.D.), the “Teutonic theosopher” (‘Thoth,’ also known as Hermes, the name of an Egyptian god who represented Azazel, in German is rendered ‘Teut,’ from whence comes the word ‘Teutonic.’ A ‘Teutonic theosopher’ is the equivalent of a Hermetic philosopher) of the sixteenth century, inspired (Louis Claude de) Saint-Martin in the 1790s to carry on a “theosophic correspondence” with a Swiss philosopher-friend (speaks of The Theosophic corresp. between Saint-Martin (The “Unknown Philosopher”) and Kirchberger, Baron de Liebistorf, Member of the Grand Council of Berne); and that these letters were reprinted in England in 1863 in the hope of reawakening interest in “the theosophic and pure Gospel science involved in these ideas?” (according to Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin’s selection in Wikipedia: “Admirers of his (Saint-Martin’s) works formed groups of Friends of St Martin which later became known as Martinists (Notable Quote: “The Martinists were Mystics and Theosophists who claimed to have the secret of communicating with (Elemental and Planetary) spirits” - The Right Angle by Geoffrey Farthing). They were influential on the formation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.” In fact Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member A.E. Waite translated a number of works by Saint-Martin) And again, that (Ralph Waldo) Emerson and others, stimulated by the cosmic insights of the Bhagavad-Gita (“The Bhagavad Gītā (Song of God) [translated by Sir Edwin Arnold under the title The Song Celestial]…is a Sanatana Dharma or Hindu scripture…highly praised by not only prominent Indians such as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi but also (33° Freemason) Aldous Huxley (Huxley was an aquaintence of professed Spiritist Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Robert Oppenheimer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Carl Jung (Jung based his brand of psychiatry on Hindu writings such as the Bhagavad Gītā and The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Timothy Leary’s favorite book) and Hermann Hesse (whose novels were bestsellers on American college campuses in the mid 1960s thanks to Timothy Leary’s description of Hesse as a psychedelic Shaman in an 1963 A.D. essay in Psychedelic Review). It is considered among the most important texts in the history of literature and philosophy.” - Wikipedia: Bhagavad Gītā), spearheaded the Transcendentalist movement in America in the 1830’s? (“Transcendentalism was rooted in the transcendental philosophy of Spiritist Immanuel Kant (Notable quote: “(Immanuel) Kant admitted not only the possibility of the existence of a spiritual conscious world, but also the possibility of communion with it.” - Chapter XVI Tertium Organum, by P.D. Ouspensky, (1922 A.D.))…Another major influence was the mystical spiritualism of Emanuel Swedenborg (the influential Christian theologian seer/military engineer Emanuel Swedenborg exclaimed: “There are two worlds; a spiritual world where spirits and angels are;; and a natural world where men are.” See Canons Chapter IV.2 (Swedenborg, 1769 A.D). Swedenborg wrote in Spiritual Diary circa. the 18th century A.D.: “THAT THE PRIVILEGE OF CONVERSING WITH SPIRITS AND ANGELS MIGHT BE COMMON AND APPROPRIATE TO MAN. Man was so created that he might hold interaction with spirits and angels.”).” – Wikipedia: Transcendentalism)…Toward the end of the eighteenth century, coincident with the American and French Revolutions (revolutions instigated by militant Freemasons of course), the first major crack in the religious isolationism (instituted by the consummate foe of practioners of magic, namely, the Roman Catholic Church which had been in the habit of executing witches and other such spiritists) which had dominated Europe occurred with the breakthrough into Western intellectual circles of the rich philosophic content of Oriental literature (a reference to the goings on in the Age of Enlightenment: “The Age of Enlightenment (or simply the Enlightenment) is the era in Western philosophy, intellectual, scientific and cultural life, centered upon the 18th century, in which reason was advocated as the primary source for legitimacy and authority (as opposed to the supreme authority of the popes and of the Roman Catholic Church). It is also known as the Age of Reason…Developing simultaneously in France, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the American colonies, the movement culminated in the Atlantic Revolutions, especially the success of the American Revolution, which resulted in independence from the British Empire. The authors of the American Declaration of Independence, the United States Bill of Rights, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and the Polish–Lithuanian Constitution of May 3, 1791, were motivated by Enlightenment principles.” – Wikipedia: Age of Enlightenment). But it was not until the closing decades (at the height of the Spiritualist Movement, where séances were held in an effort to converse with the spirit/angel world) of the nineteenth century that the vivifying force (which force being the Theosophical Society), reaching every corner of the thinking world (international in scope), gained sufficient momentum to carry over into our present century.

This impetus was climaxed by the publication of The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky in 1888, her comprehensive examination of the world's (not only Christian) sacred literatures revealing that the key thoughts in all of them were as jewels strung on one golden thread: man’s divine origin and destiny.” - Introduction to Expanding Horizons (James A. Long, 1965 A.D.). Notable residents of Pasadena, California include Nobel prize physicist and Caltech (visiting) Professor Albert Einstein, Jack Parsons, the rocket scientist and occultist, and student of Rosicucianism/member of AMORC Sirhan Sirhan, resident of Pasadena at the time of his assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

Classic occurances of occult Overshadowing? You make the call. Another California occult connection is the Dutch I.S.I.S. Foundation (International Study centre for Independent Search for truth) which is connected to the Theosophical Society Point Loma - Covina, in California. Isis is of course the name of an Egyptian goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife. To an interested individual looking “For information about the activities of The Theosophical Society and I.S.I.S. Foundation,” one is directed to the “Blavatsky House, De Ruyterstraat 74, 2518 AV,

426

The Hague, The Netherlands.” According to their website, “the I.S.I.S. foundation” is “the external holding of the Theosophical Society.” The website explains: “The Theosophical Society is part of a universal (universal in that the rebellion it represents includes members of our earth as well as those of other planets!), ethical and intellectual Movement (the Theosophical Movement), which has been active throughout the ages. This Movement brought forth, in accordance with the cyclic laws of Nature, spiritual impulses (code for the technical use of Overshadowing and mind manipulation techniques), which gave the initial impetus to the great religious and philosophical systems, produced by humanity. Sages such as Lao Tze, Krishna, (Gautama) Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, Plato and many others who brought forth these impulses. They tried to divulge, time and again, age-old Theosophy to the people and they did this always in a form most suitable for that time and place in which they lived,” with one stated goal of the organization being: “To study ancient and modern religion, science, and philosophy...” It would seem Behemoth itself represents their mysterious “International Headquarters of the Leader” Azazel. The Theosophical Society magazine "Lucifer - the Messenger of Light" (Lucifer means “light bringer” in reference to the fact that he is a “shining one”/angel) is a publication of the I.S.I.S. Foundation of the Dutch division of The Theosophical Society (Point Loma/The Hague) which today appears bi-monthly. Lectures are to this day given on subjects associated with Theosophy at The Hague, the judicial capital of the United Nations (with the establishment of the League of Nations, The Hague became the seat of the Permanent Court of International Justice, which was replaced by the U.N.’s International Court of Justice after World War II). The Hague is the world’s second U.N. city after New York City, New York, U.S.A., a great Kabbalistic city in itself. The U.N. was founded interestingly enough in 1945 A.D., 70 years after the establishment of the Theosophical Society in America in 1875 A.D. there in New York City by Spiritist’s Helen Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott and the ceremonial magician William Quan Judge. The U.N. logo employs an eight-point compass rose (in the form of “the disk”), which esoterically represents Azazel (See Appendix A). (For Biblical prophecies concerning the United Nations, see Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles)

Concerning the 1960’s resurgence in all things occult, author Hal Lindsey in the Introduction to his 1972 A.D. book entitled Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth, explains: “A few years ago I came face to face with a complete reversal in the academic community. An unusual change came over many who had denied any belief in the power of a supernatural God. The indifferent, the scoffers, the proud agnostics in the Age of Rationalism, began to turn to another form of the supernatural.

They became involved in psychic research, parapsychology, ESP (Extra Sensory Perception), mystic philosophies, and Eastern religions. Recently there has been a resurgence in all forms of the occult! Witchcraft and Satan worship spread throughout campuses and cities. In America, a so-called civilized country, people are involved in weird (ancient magic/religious) rites and rituals.”

Concerning the subject of parapsychology, as Lindsey imparts: “the occult realm has been made scientifically respectable under the academic guise of ‘parapsychology.’”

Of a most revealing note, The Society for Psychical Research (SPR; founded in London in 1882 A.D.) tasked in such studies of parapsychology included amongst its early membership many prominent philosophers, scientists, educators and politicians whose eminent ranks included none other than the most honorable Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour, best known for his issuance of the Balfour Declaration providing for a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

The SPR and its American affiliate (the New York City-based American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) founded in 1885 A.D.) are active even today (Notable quote: “Many prominent people in the nineteenth century participated in spiritualistic séances and discussions about the authenticity of spiritualistic phenomena. Among them were writer Bulwer Lytton, Alfred Russell Wallace (who simultaneously with Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution), famous psychologists Frederick Myers and William James, and politicians Arthur Balfour and William Gladstone (The Father of Modern Zionism, an Ashkenazi Jew named Theodor Herzl, was an ally of Prime Minister Gladstone from whom Herzl had received his blessings for the creation of a Jewish homeland [See p.8 Perfidy by Peter Bergson (alias of Ben Hecht)]. It was Arthur Balfour who issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917 A.D.). Gladstone, who became prime minister of Great Britain four times (it was Gladstone who presided over Britain at the very height of its empire upon which, it was said, the sun never set), showed significant interest in occult phenomena. He was also a member of The British Society for Psychical Research (SPR). He was present at many spiritualistic séances…” – The Invisible Influences (Živorad Mihajlović Slavinski, 2008 A.D.) (The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett implicate powerful British statesmen as parties complicit in the Theosophical Society Adyar venture [bending with the winds of change they recognized the undercurrents of the Indian independence movement and moved to install their own pre-groomed puppet government by subverting the Indian independence movement unto its own self, a textbook example of an intelligence undercover organizational takeover] including William Gladstone, four-time prime minister of Great Britain (See Letter No. 134, by H.P. Blavatsky), as well as Lord Ripon (the Marquess of Ripon), George Robinson, 2nd Earl of Ripon, of Her Majesty's (Queen Victoria’s) Most Honourable Privy Council (a privy councilor is the highest rank one may attain in the Civil Service), Viceroy in India (1880–1884 A.D.), he being preceded in office by the notorious ceremonial magician Lord Lytton himself (to whom Edward Bulwer-Lytton was related). Lord Ripon had been the Freemasonic Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England from 1870 – 1874 A.D. (“The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) is the main governing body of freemasonry within England and Wales…It is the oldest Grand Lodge in the world.” – Wikipedia: United Grand Lodge of England). Also implicated in this plot is James Lindsay, 26th Earl of Crawford. This conspiracy went all the way to the top. As we learn from Wikipedia: “The Theosophy Society - Adyar is the name of a section of the Theosophical Society founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and others in 1875. Its

428

headquarters moved with Blavatsky and president Henry Steel Olcott to Adyar, an area of Chennai (in India) in 1883. The designation 'Adyar' is added to clarify that this is the Theosophical Society with headquarters there, after William Quan Judge were separated by Besant and formed his own organization, known as the ‘Theosophical Society – Pasadena’ with its International Headquarters in Pasadena, California. The presidents of the Theosophical Society - Adyar have included Annie Besant, George Arundale, C. Jinarajadasa, Nilakanta Sri Ram, John Coats and Radha Burnier. US National Section of this organization is called the Theosophical Society in America located in Wheaton, Illinois.” - Wikipedia: Theosophy Society – Adyar. Spies, spies, spies! Ingenius! One massive Illuminati intelligence network! All controlled by the fallen angels! And Blavatsky was a leading figure. Score one for the anti-Catholic coalition!)

This brings us (circa 2011 A.D.) to Lily Dale and the Lily Dale Assembly, Inc., in Lily Dale, (upstate) New York, where one may find “the world’s oldest and largest spirit community” (with no less than 40 registered mediums) which according to the LDA website: “Since it was established in 1879, Lily Dale has been the world’s largest center for spiritual development and the practice of the Spiritualist religion.”

Lily Dale itself is home to “the Lily Dale Spiritualist Church,” one of a “growing network of Spiritualist churches, schools and camps throughout the United States and Canada.” As we learn from Wikipedia: “Lily Dale is a spiritualist community of the Modern Spiritualist movement located in Chautauqua County, New York, USA…Lily Dale became the center of the Spiritualist movement when the childhood home of Kate and Margaret Fox (the infamous Fox Sisters) was moved from Hydesville, New York to Lily Dale in 1916.

This established Lily Dale as the home of Spiritualism in the United States, although other communities, such as Summerville, California (now an uninhabited ‘ghost town’), were founded on the same principles…Today Lily Dale remains a place of pilgrimage for many Spiritualists and others interested in the paranormal.” – Wikipedia: Lily Dale, New York.

The magic practicing Freemasonic Spiritist and Theosophical Society member Arthur Conan Doyle was a prominent guest at Lily Dale (as was Doyle’s friend, the Stage Magician Harry Houdini. Guest lecturers at Lily Dale have included the Wiccan author and spiritualist Raymond Buckland). In the words of Arthur Conan Doyle himself, the Spiritualist Movement itself was “the most important in the history of the world since the Christ episode” (See his Introduction to The History of Spiritualism Vol.I, 1926 A.D.).

Spiritists teach that many planets in our universe are inhabited.

Lectures one may attend at Lily Dale include those with a UFO/extraterrestrial subject line.

Tens of thousands of 429

visitors/attendees pass through Lily Dale on a yearly basis. It must also be noted that the magic practicing Freemasonic Spiritist and Theosophical Society member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was also at one time president of The College of Psychic Studies.** As we learn from Wikipedia: “The College of Psychic Studies (founded in 1884 as the London Spiritualist Alliance) is a non-profit organization based in South Kensington, London. They are dedicated to the study of spiritual phenomenon (such as séances involving communication with spirits). Gerald Balfour, the second Earl of Balfour, founded the college in 1884. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a former president of the college through the 1920s (also President D'Honneur de la Federation Spirite Internationale). In the 1960’s, after a revival in spiritualism, the College associated itself with the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), collecting thousands of case files.” The College is still in existence today. In, fact, in Chapter 9 of Gerald B. Gardner’s biography entitled Gerald Gardner, Witch, we learn of an early experience which he had had with a group of spiritualist mediums at this very same London Spiritualist Alliance, a watershed moment in his life which cemented his beliefs in the phenomenon known as Spiritualism, an experience which propelled him gloriously onward to the creation of the magical witchcraft tradition known to us today as Gardnerian Wicca, that at that very moment of his life he became a dedicated Spiritualist (Gardner also became, as we learn from his book entitled The Meaning of Witchcraft, a member of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). The SPR has long been a hive for British Intelligence operatives with Illuminati allegiances). (**Arthur Conan Doyle was well versed in occult phenomenom and its history, he being an early occult investigator, a ghost hunter of sorts, hence the title of his book, The History of Spiritualism (Vol.I, 1926 A.D.) in which he writes concerning Emanuel Swedenborg: “From the day of his (Emanuel Swedenborg’s) first vision he continued until his death, twenty-seven years later, to be in constant touch with the other world. ‘The same night the world of spirits, hell and heaven, were convincingly opened to me, where I found many persons of my acquaintance of all conditions. Thereafter the lord daily opened the eyes of my spirit to see in perfect wakefulness what was going on in the other world, and to converse, broad awake, with angels and spirits.’”

As Swedenborg confides in his book Heaven and Hell: “…angels speak spiritually with me from heaven, they speak just as intelligently as the man by my side.” Swedenborg even professed an ability “…to talk with angels and spirits;; and this I have now been doing for many years without a break.” - True Christian Religion. And again in Spiritual Diary: “It is to be held in general, that all things, which I have written in this book, are written, wholly from living experience from conversation with spirits and angels, from thought [by telepathy], like tacit speech, communicated [to me], also, I wrote when of the things insinuated by them who were then together, they experienced them to the fullest extent; and under their direction as to thoughts, writings, hand, so that everything which in these three books, and elsewhere is written, though occasionally incoherent, still pertains to experience, and everything in its

430

manner [proceed] from spirits or angels (this is known as ‘automatic writing’); this is likewise directed by spirits next my head, for I have as often perceived their presence. - 1748, August 23.” - Spiritual Diary. Swedenborg was a military engineer and a great authority in his time on astronomy and physics. Astronomy went hand and hand with astrology and ceremonial magic including the invocation of angels, an activity into which the Christian mystic Swedenborg no doubt delved)

The founder of the institution which Theosophical Societymember Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would later head, namely, the London Spiritual Alliance, was Gerald Balfour, who was none other than the younger brother of British Prime Minister Arthur James Balfour, issuer of the Balfour Declaration! Gerald Balfour was married to Lady Elizabeth Edith Balfour, daughter of Robert BulwerLytton, whose sister was Lady Emily Bulwer-Lytton (1874–1964 A.D.), an associate of J. Krishnamurti of Theosophical Society fame!

J. Krishnamurti was associated with leading Theosophical Society members C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant. Lady Emily BulwerLytton was related to Edgar Bulwer-Lytton, a friend of the French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi, who was a member of a French chapter of the Theosophical Society. Edgar Bulwer-Lytton was Grand Patron (1871-73 A.D.) of the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA), a magic practicing group composed of Master Masons, members of which gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Famous Golden Dawn member (and British Intelligence agent) Aleister Crowley was a long-time associate of Gardnerian Wicca founder Gerald B. Gardner. Both Aleister Crowley and Gerald B. Gardner were known Freemasons as well as comembers in the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) (and, as we shall learn, the Crowley-associated Jack Parsons would later head a Pasadena order of the OTO, where he associated in magical workings with Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard who was himself a member of U.S. Naval Intelligence). It must be also noted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s daughter, Dame Jean Conan Doyle, served as honorary Aide-de-Camp to Queen Elizabeth II. Elementary my dear Watson.

Elementary. So yes, birds of a feather do flock together, most definitely sir.

To quote in part Mr. Hal Lindsey, I must say, the study of Witchcraft in a like way “has been made scientifically respectable under the academic guise of” Anthropology as well as Philosophy (many prominent anthropologists are practitioners of magic). Now 431

back to Gerald B. Gardner (who was himself an anthropologist/archaeologist (as well as an official of the British Empire); Gardner famously assisted James Leslie Starkey in the Lachish excavations, including the excavation of temples devoted to Baal (Azazel) and Astaroth (Azazel’s human wife), names familiar to readers of The Bible. He was also an associate of Margaret Alice Murray who wrote a number of texts on the subject of witch cults, she even writing the Introduction for one of Gardener’s books on magic) and the British “occult revival” which one might successfully argue was equally the continuation of a long underground and secretive magic tradition passed down from generation to generation amongst the highest ranking members of the majestic English nobility.

“Having looked at the development of the magical orders which resulted from the British occult revival of the 19th and 20th Centuries, we can see where this ties in with Wicca and (Gerald B.) Gardner’s claim of traditional initiation (into an English coven of magic practicing witches.

A coven is a circle of 13 witches [from Latin conventus, a cult-group of 13 people], male and/or female: “The ‘fixed number’ among the witches of Great Britain seems to have been thirteen: twelve witches and their officer.” - The Witch Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray, University College, London, 1921 A.D.).” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition: “Julia Phillips is a Wiccan High Priestess whose experience includes running both Covens and magical lodges in London (England), Sydney, and Melbourne (Australia). Her formal study of the occult began in 1971, when she began to attend lectures at the Society of Psychical Research in London.” And she is not the only highplaced Wiccan to have an association with the Society of Psychical Research, as Gardner himself, the father of Wicca, was also associated with it) (Pertinent Quote: “The word coven is a derivative of ‘convene,’ and is variously spelt coven, coeven, covine, cuwing, and even covey [of which Covina is also a cognate. Covina is, as we must remember, the name given to the place where was relocated the international headquarters of the Theosophical Society near Point Loma in California]. The special meaning of the word among the witches is a ‘band’ or ‘company,’ who were set apart for the practice of the rites of the religion and for the performance of magical ceremonies [such was also the case with Covina]; in short, a kind of priesthood. The Coven [of witches] was composed of men and women, belonging to one district, though not necessarily all from one village, and was ruled by an officer under the command of the Grand Master. The members of the Coven were apparently bound to attend the weekly Esbat [“The Esbat differed from the Sabbat by being primarily for business...very often the Esbat was for sheer enjoyment only”]; and it was they who were instructed in and practiced magical arts, and who performed all the rites and ceremonies of the cult. The rest of the villagers attended the Esbats when they could or when they felt so inclined, but did not necessarily work magic, and they attended the Sabbats as a matter of course.” - The Witch Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray, University College, London, 1921 A.D. So Covina was likely where was located the magic practicing ‘priesthood’ of the Theosophical Society at its inception) (The Junto Club established by Benjamin Franklin and which consisted of Franklin and twelve of his friends, bringing the total number to 13, is,

432

coincidentally enough, the exact number of witches in a traditional witch’s coven. As history reveals, Franklin established the American Philosophical Society; philosophical studies of the day included the study and practice of magic and witchcraft. Franklin was also a Freemason of the very highest degree, attaining the executive position of Grand Master (read: HighPriest). High-degree Freemasonic ritualistic practices include magic/witchcraft, which practice involves the invocation of fallen angels. That the Junto Club was in all probability such a ‘witches’ coven’ is not outside the realm of possibilities, this also being true of those Juntos modeled upon it, and implies complicity with those individuals closely associated with its members)

Magic, which involves the invocation of fallen angels, is practiced in high-degree Freemasonry: “The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn was not the only influence upon (Gerald) Gardner (Gardner was a friend of Aleister Crowley. Indeed: “Gardner has a charter issued by Crowley, authorizing him to perform the Rites of the O.T.O.” - Gerald Gardner, Witch, by Idries Shah, 1960 A.D.).

Freemasonry has also had a tremendous impact upon the Wicca. Not only were the three founders of Isis-Urania Temple (of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) Masons, so too were (Aleister) Crowley (a 33° Freemason) and Arthur Waite (A.E. Waite). Gardner and at least one member of the first (witches) Coven, Edith WoodfordGrimes, were both Co-Masons.” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition

“It is vital to understand that this past interchange between Masonry and these various occult groups did not stop in the 18th century. If anything, it has grown more prominent in the past century. There is something about the Lodge that has always attracted sorcerers. The historical list of occultists and Witches in the last century who were Freemasons reads like a Who’s Who of 20th century occultism: Arthur Edward Waite—occult writer and Masonic historian; Dr. Wynn Westcott—member of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia and founding member of the occult (Hermetic) Order of the Golden Dawn—the most influential magical society of the 19th - early 20th century (but not, as must be noted, the only one); S. L. MacGregor Mathers—co-founder of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn; Aleister Crowley—master Satanist of this century and founder of the anti-christ religion of Thelema—claimed to be “The Great Beast 666;;” Dr. Gerard Encaussé—(Papus) masterful author, teacher of the Tarot and leader of the occult Martiniste society (“Gerard Encausse (July 13, 1865 - 25 October 1916), whose esoteric pseudonym was Papus, was the Spanish-born French physician, hypnotist, and popularizer of occultism, who founded the modern Martinist Order [French Illuminist Freemasonry] (Illuminiati)…As a young man, Encausse spent a great deal of time at the Bibliothèque Nationale (the National Library in Paris, France) studying the Kabbalah, occult tarot, the sciences of magic and alchemy, and the writings of (French ceremonial magician) Eliphas Lévi. He joined the French Theosophical Society shortly after it was founded by Madame Blavatsky in 1884 – 1885…In 1888, 433

he co-founded his own group, the Kabbalistic Order of the Rose-Croix (a Rosicrucian group)…Encausse was also a member of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light (also known as Luxor, and which included Madame Blavatsky amongst its ranks) and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn temple (the Ahathoor Temple) in Paris, as well as Memphis-Misraim (a major militant Freemasonic group) and probably other esoteric or paramasonic organizations, as well as being an author of several occult books.” – Wikipedia: Gérard Encausse) (One of the secrets passed down during the high-degree rituals of the Masonic Rite of Memphis is the existence of the “genii” which “dwell under the earth” [See The Secret High Degree Rituals of the Masonic Rite of Memphis p.26 by John Yarker, 1911 A.D]: “John Yarker (17 April 1833 - 20 March 1913) was an English Freemason, author, and occultist…In 1872 Yarker established the Sovereign Sanctuary of the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Masonry for England and Ireland under the authority of a Patent issued by the American Grand Master of that organization, Harry Seymour. According to Gnostic Bishop Stephan A. Hoeller, Yarker also got involved with the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) and is attributed as the link between this organization and regular Freemasonry. According to Hoeller, Yarker was bestowed with the authority to confer degrees of the Scottish Rite as well as the Rite of Memphis-Misraim (the Scottish Rite of Memphis-Misraim).” – Wikipedia: John Yarker); Dr.

Theodore Reuss (a druggist/apothecary/German spy)—head of the O.T.O., a German occult/satanic society which made (Aleister) Crowley its head for the British Isles; George Pickingill (1816-1909 A.D.) —the Grand Master Witch of 19th century England, leader of the “Pickingill covens” (Pickingill is what is known as a cunning man. “The cunning folk [men and women] in Britain were professional or semiprofessional practitioners of magic...” - Wikipedia: Cunning folk in Britain. The magician Aleister Crowley was said to have been a Pickingill initiate. It must be noted the pop-icon magic-man Harry Potter© is a British invention the result of a long tradition of magic practices in the English Isles designed to instill an early interest in magic and not just a harmless whimsical creation); Annie Besant—leader of the occult Theosophical Society and Co-Masonic hierarch (Yes, there are female Masons!); Alice Bailey (whose second husband, Foster Bailey, was a 32° Freemason)—founder of the proto-New Age organization, Lucis (formerly Lucifer) Trust; Bishop Charles (C.) W. Leadbetter—Theosophist (and Theosophical Society member), mentor to the failed New Age (false) “Christ,” Krishnamurti, and prelate in the occult Liberal Catholic Church; Manly P. Hall—Rosicrucian adept, author, founder of the Philosophical Research Society; Gerald B. Gardner—founder of the modern Wiccan (white Witchcraft) revival and Alex Sanders —self-styled ‘King of the Witches’ in London (“Alex Sanders (June 6, 1926 - April 30, 1988), born Orrell Alexander Carter, was an English occultist and High Priest in the Neopagan religion of Wicca, responsible for founding the tradition of Alexandrian Wicca during the 1960s.” – Wikipedia: Alex Sanders (Wiccan)) and one of the most influential leaders of Wicca after Gardner.” - Freemasonry: The Witchcraft Connection by William J. Schnoebelen, exemplary of your typical high-degree magic practicing Freemason: “William Schnoebelen was deeply involved in both Witchcraft as a Wiccan high priest and the Masonic order for many years. He was a Mason for nine years and a Witch for sixteen years. In the Lodge, he held offices of Junior Warden in the Blue Lodge [with which the Illuminati are associated], Prelate in the Commandery of the York Rite, Master of the Veil in the Royal Arch degree, and Associate Patron in the Order of the Eastern Star. Additionally, he was a 32° Mason and a Shriner” (“The Sanders [Alex and Maxine Sanders, co-founders of Alexandrian Wicca] became household names [in England] during the late sixties and early seventies. The

434

Sanders ran their coven and taught classes on Witchcraft. A record of the initiation of Janet Owen, ‘A Witch is Born,’ was released in 1970. The Sanders’ coven also appeared in ‘Legend of the Witches’ (1970), ‘Witchcraft ’70’ (1970) and ‘Secret Rites’ (1971). A biography of Alex appeared in 1969 (King of the Witches, by June Johns); biographies of Maxine appeared in 1976 (Maxine: The Witch Queen) and 1977 (The Ecstatic Mother, by Richard Deutch).” – Wikipedia: Maxine Sanders. As may be ascertained from the Alexandrian Book of Shadows, Alex and Maxine Sanders invoked the fallen angel Azazel under his guise of Cernunnos, the Horned God of the witches. Alex Sanders claims to have initiated American actress Sharon Tate into Witchcraft when Tate appeared in the Eye of the Devil, a British film filmed in London in 1966 A.D. for which Alex Sanders served as technical advisor [See p.81 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D.]. Sharon Tate was a witch in the arcane sense of the word.

As Maury Terry relates in The Ultimate Evil, the ‘British warlock’: “(Alex) Sanders, who said he studied under master black magician Aleister Crowley himself, was connected to OTO and other cult activity in Britain.” Likely Sharon Tate herself was an OTO witch. “Alexander

Sanders himself is descended from a long line of Welsh witches and was initiated as a child by his grandmother [in 1933 A.D.]. In 1965 he was elected ‘King of the Witches’ of the 1,623 witches then attached to his coven, a title last held in the fifteenth century by Owain Glyndwr, the last independent Prince of Wales, from whom Sanders believes he is descended.” – p.8 King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders by June Johns, 1969 A.D. Sanders was the rich man’s witch, the darling of the ‘jet set’ including extravagantly rich British homosexuals involved in the occult; Sanders hobnobbed in an occult circle inhabited by viscounts, magistrates, doctors and lawyers, mafiosa, with actors and actresses, directors and producers and all sorts of entertainers as well [including the Rolling Stones], the highlight of whose parties was masochistic sex and assorted magic-fuelled orgies. Sharon Tate and Co. would continue this tradition in occult L.A. with her British director husband)

“The true Occult Order (sometimes called the Great White Brotherhood and by Crowley the A.’.A.’.) manifested in the West in 1866 as the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn. Before this specific manifestation the Brotherhood (consisting of the fallen angels) numbered among its openly unavowed representatives such authorities as Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Eliphas Levi,** Fred Hockley (a friend of William Wynn Wescott), Kenneth Mackenzie (1st Baron MuirMackenzie, British Labour politician), Gerald Massey, Fabre d’Olivet (d’Olivet’s interest in Pythagoreanism sparked a revival which later influenced many occultists such as Eliphas Levi and New Age Spirtitualists such as Gerald Encausse [Papus]), and others (including Dr. Karl Kellner; Kellner was also an initiate in the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light). Bulwer-Lytton links up historically with the continental Adepts (in Europe), Eliphas Levi, Gerard Encausse (Papus) (a member of the Theosophical Society in France), Rudolph Steiner (a member of the Theosophical Society in Germany) and Franz Hartmann (it was Hartmann it is said who initiated Rudolph Steiner into the OTO) – celebrated names in Western Occultism. These collateral continental elements constituted what was once known as 435

the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light (a direct descendent of the OTO).”

– The Magickal Revival by Kenneth Grant, 1972 A.D. (** “Eliphas Levi was born in France in 1810. Roman Catholic priest and magician, Levi was not ashamed to announce that he was a witch and could conjure up spirits. Later he revealed his methods to an English occult group led by (Edward) Bulwer Lytton, the novelist. Soon half a dozen similar societies had sprung up. The members dabbled in magic and witchcraft, black and white, the former for revenge and even murder, the latter for healing, divination and self-preferment. By the time Levi died in 1875, he had paved the way for a renaissance in witchcraft.” - King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders by June Johns, 1969 A.D.)

Concerning books on the subject of magic which may have influenced practitioners of Wicca magic we learn: “There were numerous sources other than (Margaret Alice) Murray (academic author of such illustrious books on the anthropological history of witchcraft as The Witch Cult in Western Europe (1921 A.D.) and The God of the Witches (1933 A.D.)), however. In 1899, Charles

Godfrey Leland’s Aradia: Gospel of the Witches was published (Leland it is interesting to note played a military part in the Revolution of 1848 A.D. in France serving on the side of the rebels as a captain in the revolution.

He was also as we learn from Charles G. Leland: A Biography p.13, a friend of Lord Edgar Bulwer-Lytton). Most of (Aleister) Crowley’s work was available in published form during the pre- and post-war years (she speaks of WWII), as were the texts written and translated by (S.L.) MacGregor Mathers and (A.E.) Waite. Also readily available were works such as The Magus by Francis Barrett (London, 1801 A.D.) and, of course, the many classics from which (the Father of Wicca Gerald B.) Gardner drew much inspiration.” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition (Such works by Murray which may have influenced Wicca included The Witch Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray, University College, London, 1921 A.D., and The God of the Witches also by Margaret Alice Murray, D.Lit., “Fellow of University College, London,” 1933 A.D.: “Margaret Alice Murray (13 July 1863 13 November 1963) was a prominent British Egyptologist and anthropologist. Primarily known for her work in Egyptology, which was “the core of her academic career,” she is also known for her propagation of the Witch-cult hypothesis, the theory that the witch trials in the Early Modern period of Christianized Europe and North America were an attempt to extinguish a surviving pre-Christian, pagan religion devoted to a Horned God [the Horned God represents Azazel]…it has had a significant effect in the origins of Neopagan religions, primarily Wicca, a faith she supported (as “She was also a believer and a practitioner of magic”). Her work in Egyptology took place largely alongside her mentor and friend, the archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie (an English Egyptologist and Fellow of the Royal Society), whom she worked alongside at University College London…In The Divine King in England, 1954 she expanded on her earlier claims there was a secret conspiracy of pagans amongst the English nobility, the same English nobility who provided the leading members of the Church.”

– Wikipedia: Margaret Alice Murray. Hello? Is this bloody thing on? Indeed, ceremonial magic was the realm of the learned, literate British upper classes: “The ceremonial magician had to be literate; he had to have some working knowledge of the languages in which all learned men of Europe in times past were versed, namely, Latin, Hebrew and Greek, because these were the languages of his magical books.” – Witchcraft for Today (1978 A.D.) by Doreen Valiente. Other extant books on witchcraft from which Gardner may have drawn included: “The Formicarius, written 1435-1437 by Johannes Nider during the Council of

436

Basel and first printed in 1475” (as a point of reference, the Roman Catholic Saint, Joan of Arc, [also known as the Witch of Domremy] was burnt as a witch by the English in 1431 A.D.) as well as the The Malleus Maleficarum: “The Malleus Maleficarum (Latin for “Hammer of the Wicked”) is a famous treatise on witches, written in 1486 by Heinrich Kramer, an Inquisitor of the Catholic Church, and was first published in Germany in 1487” (See Wikipedia: Formicarius/Malleus Maleficarum).

“The Malleus in hand, the Pope’s encouragement guaranteed, inquisitors began springing up all over Europe.” Immersion as a test for identifying a witch hearkens back to the days of the Babylonian king Hammurabi (if not in fact, prior): “The belief in sorcery and its practice seem to have been widespread in the past. Both in ancient Egypt and in Babylonia it played a conspicuous part, as existing records plainly show. It will be sufficient to quote a short section from the Code of Hammurabi (about 2000 B.C.). It is there prescribed, “If a man has put a spell upon another man and it is not justified, he upon whom the spell is laid shall go to the holy river; into the holy river shall he plunge. If the holy river overcome him and he is drowned, the man who put the spell upon him shall take possession of his house. If the holy river declares him innocent and he remains unharmed the man who laid the spell shall be put to death. He that plunged into the river shall take possession of the house of him who laid the spell upon him.” – Wikipedia: Witchcraft. I believe this harkens back to at least the days of the Egyptian black-magic priesthood whose legends of the god Osiris, who was Behemoth/Azazel, also known as Tahuti the sorcerer god of magic, who had been successfully ‘killed,’ according to legend, by being “drowned.”

Guilty as charged! This legend was an outgrowth of the story of Azazel’s entombment within the earth at the time of the Biblical Flood) (Another individual who had had a profound effect on Wicca was the famous British witch Sybil Leek (née Falk): “Sybil Leek (February 22, 1917 - October 26, 1982) was an English witch, astrologer, psychic, and occult author. She wrote more than sixty books on occult and esoteric subjects. She was dubbed "Britain’s most famous witch" by the BBC. Because she rose to media fame in the 1950s, after the repeal of the 1735 Witchcraft Act in 1951, she had an effect upon the formation of neopagan witchcraft, mainly the religion of Wicca…Sybil’s family played host to some very scholarly characters.

H. G. Wells, Sybil and her father used to take long walks discussing all things metaphysical.

Sybil Leek claimed she knew Aleister Crowley, stating he was a family friend and even told her family Leek would be his successor (Leek’s entire family was involved in astrology and some of the guests who visited her home included H.G. Wells as well as the famous British spies Lawrence of Arabia and Aleister Crowley). Sybil soon met a prominent concert pianist who became her music teacher, and she married him when she was 16. He died two years later, and stricken with grief Sybil returned home to her grandmother’s house (in the New Forest area of Staffordshire in England). Shortly after, she was sent by her grandmother to a French coven based at Gorge du Loup (Wolf Canyon) in the hills above Nice, to replace a distant relative of hers as High Priestess. Eventually she returned to England. For a short while she stayed with an acquaintance in Lyndhurst, in the New Forest (the area where Gerald B. Gardener was said to have been initiated into a witch’s coven), but soon found the lifestyle there tiresome and decided to run away. She became friends with the Romany Gypsies in the forest. Sybil learnt much from the Gypsies about the forest, ancient folklore, and even more about the practical use of herbs than she had learnt from her grandmother. She lived with the Gypsies for a year, and attended rituals with the Horsa coven in the New Forest, of which for a short time she was High Priestess, and therefore a member of the Nine Covens council (the nine witch’s covens founded by the Illuminus George Pickingill which identifies Leek as a high-placed member in the Illuminati camp)…In April, 1964, an American publishing house wanted Sybil to speak about her new antique book ‘A Shop in the High Street’ and she was invited to appear on "To Tell the Truth" a TV programme in the (United) States. She took the opportunity to go, and flew to New York where she was mobbed by reporters and gave many interviews. While in New York, she was contacted by Hans Holzer, a parapsychologist, who invited her to join him investigating hauntings and psychic phenomena. They went on to do numerous TV and radio programmes on the subject. She then moved to Los Angeles where

437

she met (Aleister Crowley’s former secretary) Dr. Israel Regardie, an authority on Kabbalah and ritual magic, and they spent much of their time together discussing and practicing the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn rituals together…She was also one of the first of the modern day witches to take up environmental causes.” As we learn from the BBC website, during the 1960s, the White Witch Sybil Leek: “…flew to America to promote one of her books and fell in love with the country. Radio presenter Annie England was one of the first people to interview her in 1964. They became lifelong friends. Annie says: ‘Everyone wanted her on their show. She rubbed shoulders with all the celebrities of her time…Gypsy Rose Lee...Neil Diamond (etc.).’ Sybil has many more tricks up her sleeve than some of the witches above. One of the most incredible claims about her is that she was recruited by the British Government during the Second World War. According to the Second World War author Michael Salazar, her role was to provide phony horoscopes for the Germans who believed in Astrology. She apparently wrote a chart which convinced the Nazi Rudolf Hess to fly to England, where he was captured. Michael says; "World War II was a battle between good and evil (practitioners of magic) and Sybil (Leek) was in the middle of it."- BBC: Inside Out - South: Monday 28th October, 2002. Note the use of a witch as British spy as well as the white magic verses black magic warfare connotations. World War II was considered to be a war against practitioners of white magic [Churchhill was reportedly a magic-prascticing Druid] against practitioners of black magic [as emplified by Hitler’s group]. Whatever the case, The Bible makes no such distinction—both are considered to be the same unholy group.

In the words of Leek herself: “I was born practically in the classic place for witches at a crossroads where three rivers meet, a wild, desolate, witch-ridden part of Staffordshire…I can perhaps claim the longest lineage in witch history. On my distaff side, which stems from Southern Ireland, I can trace my ancestors back to A.D. 1134. On my father’s side we go back to a staunch family of occultists who were constantly around the court of Russia…I was exposed to witchcraft, astrology, occultism in general, and the mysteries of the Kabbala…My father was a gentle scholarly type…he would talk to me about such things as Yoga and Eastern philosophies. He had been a Shakespearean actor in his youth with the well-known company of Sir Frank Benson (Benson was an Oxford educated dramatist who would later become a Shakespearean actor at Sir Henry Irving’s Lyceum Theatre for which pursuit he was later knighted [no doubt for the covert operations in which he was involved and not for his extraordinarily flamboyant theatrical flair])…We had many visitors to our household. H.G. Wells, whom my father always called a scientist but who is better known as a writer, was a frequent visitor. He and my father enjoyed long talks and walks (“walks where we collected herbs” with which they concocted witch’s potions), and I was always allowed to go along with them.

They would talk about such things as other dimensions, the artificiality of time, and how it could be possible to be in two dimensions…Among the many visitors to our household was one whom I shall always remember…The man was Aleister Crowley…I owe to Crowley much…He would come and go as he pleased, never announcing his arrival and disappearing without so much as saying farewell to any of us…When I was a teenager in Paris I met him again and attended a Black Mass…” – pp.10,7,12,13 Diary of a Witch by Sybil Leek, 1968 A.D.)

“Another book that has had a profound influence on many Wiccans, and would undoubtedly have been well known by (Gerald) Gardner is The Golden Bough by Sir JG Frazer (according to Wikipedia: “The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (1890 A.D./1906–15 A.D.) is a 438

wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion, written by Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer (1854–1941).”).

Although the entire book was written based upon purely secondary research, it is an extensive examination of many Pagan practices from the Ancient World, and the emphasis of the Sacrificed God could certainly have been taken from here equally as well as from (Margaret Alice) Murray. It is likely that some of the Gardnerian ritual practices (Wicca ceremonial magic rituals) were derived from The Golden Bough, or from Frazer’s own sources listed in its bibliography (which list is very substantial, numbering in the thousands).” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition

The fallen angels, hailing from another planet known as the New Earth are by definition aliens and extraterrestrials which would explain why:

“Apparently one evening in 1949, Kenneth Grant (“Kenneth Grant [born May 23, 1924] is a British occultist and head of the magical order previously known as the Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) but which is now referred to as the Typhonian Order… He met and began personal tutelage in magick under Aleister Crowley in 1944, at the age of twenty. Crowley was sixty-nine…Grant was a great admirer and close friend of Austin Osman Spare (Spare himself had been an initiate of Aleister Crowley’s Argentinum Astrum circa 1910 A.D. Spare also had associations with the Society of Psychical Research). Together they (Grant and Spare) founded the Zos Kia Cultus in 1952.” – Wikipedia: Kenneth Grant) and his wife, (Gerald B.) Gardner (English Wiccan and Father of Garderian Wicca, Gerald Brousseau Gardner [June 13, 1884 - February 12, 1964]. He, like Kenneth Grant, had also been initiated into the Typhonian O.T.O. by Aleister Crowley), Dolores North (Madeline Montalban) (North was an “English ceremonial magician known for founding the occult organisation known as the Order of the Morning Star, through which she taught her own form of Luciferian magic.” - Wikipedia), and an unnamed Witch (probably Olive Green)(Olive Green was a witch in Gerald B. Gardner’s New Forest witches coven) met to perform a (magic) ritual together, supposedly to contact an extraterrestrial being (no doubt the extraterrestrials with whom they sought contact were the rebellious fallen angels who hailed from the New Earth). The material basis for the rite was a drawing by AO Spare (London-born 439

artist and World War I British army conscript Austin Osman Spare [1886 – 1956 A.D.] was a practicing ceremonial magician, authoring such books as A Book of Satyrs [1907 A.D.] and Anathema of Zos [1927 A.D.; Zos was Spare’s magical name. One of Spare’s favorite spells invoked ‘Rehctaw’ which is simply the word ‘Watcher,’ a name by which the angels are known, spelled backwards]. To magicpracticing artists, their artworks are magic charms/talismans/sigils).” History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition (The afformentioned magical working of which Julia Philips writes is detailed in Kenneth Grant’s Nightside of Eden pp. 122-124. Grant says they were attempting to contact “certain extraterrestrial intelligences” with which he was at that time “in almost constant rapport.” He relates that Austin Osmand Spare was also in contact with extraterrestrial intelligences at that time as well. Of an interesting note, on p. 48 of Nightside of Eden (1977 A.D.), Kenneth Grant identifies the non-human entities with whom Ceremonial Magician Dr. John Dee along with his medium Edward Kelly were in fact in contact as being “extraterrestrial entities.” At least Grant recognizes the angels for what they truly are, alien beings from another planet; they are no mere figments of superstitious imaginations)

Indeed, as pointed out by the head of the Typhonian O.T.O. magic order/Crowley-disciple Kenneth Grant himself: “(Arthur) Machen, (Algernon) Blackwood, (Aleister) Crowley, (H.P.) Lovecraft, (Dion) Fortune, and others, frequently used as a theme for their writings the influx of extra-terrestrial powers which have been moulding the history of our planet since time began; that is, since time began for us, for we are only too prone to suppose that we were here first and that we alone are here now, whereas the most ancient occult traditions affirm that we were neither the first nor are we the only ones to people the earth; the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods find echoes in the myths and legends of all peoples (the rebellious fallen angels were/are worshipped as gods by many members of the human population of the Earth; the expected return of the ‘Elder Gods’ from the ‘Abyss’ is known in the H.P. Lovecraft circle as ‘Cthulu Rising’ and takes its genesis from the legends of Azazel’s entrapment and his later prophecied release). Austin Spare claimed to have had direct experience of the existence of extra-terrestrial intelligences…As explained in Images and Oracles of Austin Osman Spare, Spare was initiated into the vital current of ancient and creative sorcery by an aged woman named Paterson, who claimed decent from a line of Salem witches. The formation of Spare’s Cult of the Zos and the Kia owes much to his contact with Witch Paterson who provides the model for many of his ‘sabbatic’ drawings and paintings.” - The Sorceries of Zos 440

(Austin O. Spare) taken from Cults of the Shadow (published 1995 A.D.) by Kenneth Grant) (As Kenneth Grant himself explained in Nightside of Eden, p.88, circa 1977 A.D.: “…extraterrestrial demons…have swarmed in myth and legend in the guise of…giants, gnomes, elves and fairies etc., of the elemental kingdoms…amenable to [magic] invocation and—though more rarely—evocation. Austin Osman Spare, for instance, evolved a system of magical sigils for controlling these monstrous atavisms…All initiated systems of ritual [magic] are methods of establishing contact with beings of the ‘other side’ [the ‘other side’ is also known in the Zohar as ‘sitra abra,’ the Abyss, wherein is entrapped Azazel and his angels]. Whether these are considered to be extra-terrestrials from outer space, or subjective denizens of inner space, makes little difference to the practical occultist.” He speaks of course of the ongoing debate between various ufologists concerning whether UFOs originated from an other-dimensional inner space or from outer space) (I feel a pressing need to put forth this question at this time: “Is there any yet amongst you in the inner inner sanctums naïve enough to believe the angels may be controlled, and this by words and ancient ceremony involving cinematic props?”

Know that they serve you at their whim, that when they tire of you and you serve no useful purpose you shall be abandoned or in fact destroyed)

In the words of one occult survivor: “I think the twentieth century marked a change in the modus operandi of the secret societies as science began to have greater power. The cult goal, social control, began incorporating ‘scientific methods’ into its doctrines…They began a movement from demons to space aliens.” - Mauri, anonymous Satanic cult survivor (Mauri, the daughter of Satanic cult members, claims to have been an MKULTRA test subject), 2004 A.D. Demons and aliens are one and the same.

Indeed, according to the OTO’s journal Khabs circa the 20th century A.D.: “…the central concern of magic is communion with…extraterrestrial intelligences.” The so-called “extraterrestrial intelligences” with whom they seek to communicate are the alien rebel angels (also known by the archaic designation ‘demons’) who are at this time in open rebellion against God. Magic systems invoke the fallen angels and seek to communicate with them. And do. Adherents even work in conjunction with them and often profit handsomely thereby. The magic tradition lives on today, most notably at the Bohemian Grove in northern California U.S.A., as well as in the United Nations (in UNESCO, the U.N.’s cultural/religious arm) which is headquarted in New York City, New York, USA. Any organization, political or otherwise, based upon, demonstrating or participating in such a magic tradition, must be held suspect at best.

Magic practices and UFOs are inextricably entwined: “It was not long after my own encounter with strange aerial phenomenon that I began to see a link between UFOs to such seemingly disparate topics as psychedelics, psychotronics, and ritual 441

magick…To me the term "UFO" simply suggests something unexplainable hovering in outer or inner space, whether it is machinelike elves encountered under the influence of DMT, or nuts and bolt craft performing inexplicable aerial maneuvers over Area 51.” – Ritual Magic, Mind Control and the UFO Phenomonom by Adam Golightly

It is important to note this extraterrestrial connection with magic as one of the most interesting offshoots of traditional magic practices are the so-called UFO cults and UFO religions of 20th Century America. The most famous (infamous) amongst modern UFO cults/UFO religions is The Nation of Islam (founded by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930 A.D. [he disappeared mysteriously in 1934 A.D.], now headed by a Freemason named Louis Farrakhan), Heaven’s Gate (also known as Human Individual Metamorphosis [H.I.M.], a San Francisco-based UFO contacteee group founded by Marshall Applewhite, in the 1970’s; on March 26, 1997 A.D., 39 of its members committed ritual mass suicide) and The Church of Scientology (founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1952 A.D.). Another interesting offshoot of Ariosophy is the Esoteric Nazism of the Tempelhofgesellschaft predicated on the belief Aryans were sired by an extraterrestrial race. All secret magic societies and groups such as the OTO, Freemasonry and Theosophy (as is evidenced in the teachings of the Theosophical Society) need also be considered UFO religions: “UFO religions are commonly groups which deal with communication between humans and extra-terrestrial beings. Forms of communication include telepathy and astral projection.” – Wikipedia: List of UFO religions.

(To such a list of UFO religions we may also add The Process Church of the Final Judgment, founded by a pair of ex-Scientologists)

Such organizations adhere to is what is known as the Ancient Astronaut Theory: “According to certain authors, intelligent extraterrestrial beings called ancient astronauts or ancient aliens have visited Earth, and this contact (known as ‘paleocontact’) is connected with the origins or development of human cultures, technologies, and religions (some authors cite verses of The Bible such as Genesis 6:1-4 as proof). A common variant of the idea includes proposals that 442

deities from most, if not all, religions are actually extraterrestrials, and their technologies were taken as evidence of their divine status…Proponents of ancient astronaut theories often maintain that humans are either descendants or creations of beings who landed on Earth thousands of years ago. An associated idea is that much of human knowledge, religion, and culture came from extraterrestrial visitors in ancient times.” – Wikipedia: Ancient Astronauts (One prime example is the story of the Varacochas [a word which translates as ‘white masters’], the so-called Sons of the Sun, the group of white men [a group of incarnate fallen angels] from outer space who at one time had reigned over the native population at Tiahuanaco in Bolivia)

One of the most famous books which falls into the Ancient Astronaut Theory category is a book entitled Chariots of the Gods? authored by a Davos, Switzerland hotel manager named Erich von Däniken: “Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past…is a book written in 1968 by Erich von Däniken. It involves the hypothesis that the technologies and religions of many ancient civilizations were given to them by ancient astronauts who were welcomed as gods.” – Wikipedia: Chariots of the Gods?

Indeed, in the Forward to the British (1973 A.D.) edition of The Bible and Flying Saucers by Presbyterian Pastor Barry H. Downing (originally published in America, 1968 A.D.), Downing writes: “I am more convinced than ever that the Biblical faith was strongly influenced by, if not deliberately caused by, beings from another world, wherever and whatever that world may be.” - The Bible and Flying Saucers (The word ‘alien,’ it must be noted, is a cognate of the word ‘angel’)

And Downing is not alone by a longshot: “In his book A Guest from the Universe, Alexander Kazentsev theorized that the angels mentioned in the Bible might actually have been extraterrestrials. British ufologist Brinsley Le Poer Trench, author of The Sky People, supports this notion, as does Paul Misraki in Les Extraterrestres.” – p.

64 Why UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D. (See also NASA scientist Josef F. Blumrich’s The Spaceships of Ezekiel (1974 A.D.). Another book cut from this very same cloth is ‘professional astronomer’ John W. Macvey’s Intersteller Travel: Past, Present, and Future [1977 A.D.] which appeared around the time of the Star Wars© release which was itself by his own admission George Lucas’ modern retelling of Greek ‘mythological’ tales [See Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed by 443

Prometheus Entertainment© in association with The History Channel© and Lucas Films Ltd.© which includes pro-input interviews by Star Wars-morals influenced Congressional leaders Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi [includes interviews with Tom Brokaw and Steven Colbert. The Hero’s Journey (based in no small part on Thomas Carlyle’s On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History) is not what you make of it. You are the cream of the crop. It is not too late to turn and be healed. Why should you suffer eternal pain for the sake of fallen angels? Eternity is forever…]. The Rebellion’s character Luke Skywalker we are told represents the Greek god Apollo in the finest ‘sympathy for the devil’/Theosophical Society tradition. Apollo of course represents the rebellious fallen angel Azazel. George Lucas was a big sci-fi pulp novel fan (circa. 40’-50’s) who based the stories of the Star Wars franchise professedly on his studies of the teachings of the writings of the Sigmund Freud/Carl Jung-influenced comparative religion/comparative mythology writer/lecturer/college professor Joseph Campbell. As we learn from Wikipedia concerning Joseph Campbell: “Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion” who in 1924 A.D.: “traveled to Europe with his family. On the ship back, he encountered Jiddu Krishnamurti; they discussed Asian philosophy, sparking in Campbell a life-long interest in Hindu and Indian thought. Following this trip, Campbell ceased to be a practicing Catholic.”

(See The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work p. 29 by Joseph Campbell, 2003 A.D. Concerning Joseph Campbell and his fateful ‘chance’ meeting, we learn that Jiddu Krishnamurti was: “Born into a Telugu family in what was then colonial India, Krishnamurti lived next to the Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar in Madras in his early adolescence. At Adyar, he encountered prominent occultist and Theosophist Charles Webster (C.W.) Leadbeater (Leadbeater was not even willing to walk to the end of the block to find someone to be his false prophet!). He was subsequently raised under the tutelage of Leadbeater and Annie Besant, leaders of the Theosophical Society at the time. Leadbeater and Besant believed (or, might I suggest, simply portrayed) Krishnamurti to be the likely vehicle for a messianic entity, the so-called World Teacher. As a young man, he disavowed this idea (he ‘officailly’ renounced his role in Theosophy in 1929 A.D.) and dissolved the worldwide organization (the Order of the Star) established to support it.” – Wikipedia: Jiddu Krishnamurti. It must be noted Professor Joseph Campbell taught mythology classes at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, a private college associated with Oxford University. One Notable graduate of Sarah Lawrence College is current Chicago mayor Rahm Immanuel. Another New Age Spiritualist writer of note promoted by Chicago talk-show hostess Oprah Winfrey is Eckhart Tolle. In the words of Eckhart Tolle himself: "I feel actually that the work I do is a coming together of the teaching 'stream,' if you want to call it that, of (Jiddu) Krishnamurti (of Theosophical Society-fame) and (the Hindu spiritual master) Ramana Maharshi" (See Dialogues With Emerging Spiritual Teachers by John W. Parker, 2000 A.D.).

The Theosophical Society itself fits the definition of a ‘UFO Cult.’ The following selection from Theosophical Society President Annie Besant (circa 1911 A.D.) offered the following spin on an age 444

old story: “If you could look backwards beyond historical periods; backwards still across the mist of legend and of myth; backwards into the darkness of the past where even legend and myth have ceased to be; backwards ever, into the far night of time, into the beginnings of humanity, as humanity, on our globe; then would you see a brilliant golden cloud (an alien spacecraft, more commonly known by its Biblical name, ‘cherub’) flashing down to earth from a far-off planet — the planet which you know as Shukra, and which we call Venus in the West (in actuality the angels hail from the New Earth). From that planet far away in space a radiant cloud (a brightly lit cherub/spacecraft) is coming, a cloud (cherub/spacecraft) of fire and of light; and as it descends through the ambient air, as the clouds of heaven roll away dispersing at its coming, the fire-cloud (cherub/spacecraft) sinks gently to earth like some huge Bird of Heaven, and settles down upon an island — the White Island, it is called in the Purãnas (in Eastern religious texts) — the island on which later was built the sacred City of Shamballa. There the fiery cloud (cherub/spacecraft) comes to rest; there the glorious Beings (angels) who were borne in it, as in a chariot of fire, descend. They are the Sons of the Fire, the Lords of the Flame: They come to this planet as the Messengers (the word ‘messenger’ is often used synonymously with the word ‘angel’) of the Logos, of Îshvara (a deva/god) Himself; They (the angels) come as the Helpers of our infant humanity, to guide its tottering steps along the path of evolution.” - The White Lodge and it's Messengers Adyar Pamphlets No. 149 by Annie Besant, 1911 A.D. (Besant’s use of the phrase “chariot of fire” to denote a cherub-type spacecraft is not without precedence. 2Kings 2:11 describes the presence of such a “chariot of fire” when Elijah was said to have been taken up to heaven. No doubt The Bible is the source of the term which she herein employs. Besant it must be remembered was a disavowed Christian) (As we learn from Wikipedia: “Christopher Patridge wrote that the works of (Alice A.) Bailey, Rudolf Steiner, and Theosophy in general all influenced what he called the "UFO religions." He explained that "...Theosophy has several prominent branches, and, strictly speaking, the branch which has had the most important influence on the UFO religion is that developed by Alice Bailey." Professor Robert S. Ellwood of the University of Southern California investigated a wide range of religious and spiritual groups in the United States during the 1970s, including a nationwide group of UFO believers called Understanding, Inc., which had been founded by a contactee named Daniel Fry (an Aerojet employee [of Jack Parsons’ company!] who reportedly had his first UFO encounter in 1950 A.D.). He reported that, "…the New Age Prayer derived from the Alice Bailey writings is used as an invocation."

George D. Chryssides of the University of Wolverhampton, cited Bailey's influence on the ideas of the Order of the Solar Temple and related UFO organisations. Benjamin Crème (who resides as must be noted in London, England), formerly a member of the UFO religion the Aetherius Society (founded by a taxi-driver named George King on the instructions of ‘Master Aetherius’), became a follower of Alice A. Bailey and then proclaimed in 1975 that he had been contacted by Maitreya (who is Azazel) to prepare for the return of Maitreya to Earth that had been prophesied by Alice A. Bailey in 1946. Alice A. Bailey prophesied in January 1946 that…Christ (…The World Teacher…) (read: Maitreya/Azazel) would return himself by manifesting a physical body of his own on the physical plane" … and that this would be the New Age equivalent of the Christian concept of the Second Coming of Christ.” – Wikipedia: Alice A. Bailey. For this reason The Bible calls Azazel the False Prophet) (Notable Benjamin Creme Quote: “The first thing to understand is that UFOs, Unidentified Flying Objects, may be unidentified by the government agencies, but they [the UFOs which Benjamin Creme identifies as “the ‘ships’ of the Space Brothers” (‘Space Brothers’ as defined as ‘Nordic

445

aliens,’ also known as ‘Pleiadians,’ humanoid extraterrestrials said to resemble European Nordic-Scandinavians)] are real, they exist…They are all part of the plan of the emerging Hierarchy of our world.” – Benjamin Crème, Share International Magazine, July/August 2009 A.D. The ‘Hierarchy’ of which he speaks will be headed of course by the fallen angels Azazel and Satan!) (Notable Quote: “Many followers of the New Age aspire for contact with extraterrestrial Entities. The most common way of making such a contact is channeling.

Channelers [acting as mediums, in effect] are persons gifted as psychics, who transmit messages to humanity from higher levels of consciousness.” – The Invisible Influences by Živorad Mihajlović-Slavinski, 2008) (Additional Notable Quote by Živorad MihajlovićSlavinski: “Psychiatrists and certified therapists study extraterrestrial Entities as well [the word psychiatry is in fact derived from the word psyche, meaning, ‘spirit’]. Among them, a special place is reserved for Dr. Edith Fiore, author of several books in this field, and Dr.William Baldwin, author of probably the best manual on this topic, entitled Spirit Releasement Therapy (1992). When the term ‘extraterrestrial entities’ is used, it is implied that the Entities come to earth from other planets, galaxies and parallel universes (a term that is widely used in recent times is “Autonomous Appearing Intelligent Structures”).” - The Invisible Influences. And one may add Theosophical Society member, Spiritualist/Spiritist psychiatrist Carl Jung, the student of august psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, to the list of people who sought contact with such Otherworldly entities. Psychiatry as it exists today is an outgrowth of the Spiritist/Spiritualist Movements, and of course, magic. Jung, in addition to collecting data on spiritual séances, also collected data on UFOs, a subjectmatter into which he busily immersed hisself following the UFO flap of 1947 A.D.; Jung even contacted Donald Keyhoe and joined his civilian UFO study group N.I.C.A.P. (National Investigative Committee on Aerial Phenomena). Concerning UFOs Jung himself once wrote: “the ‘disks’ … show signs of intelligent guidance…Our present day observations of Saucers coincide mutatis mutandis - with the many reports going back into antiquity…” - Dr. Carl Jung Himself on Unidentified Flying Objects [Reprint from Flying Saucer Review Vol.1, No. 2 (May/June 1955)])

Another such UFO religion is the British-based Aetherius Society with which Benjamin Crème, an avid follower of Alice A. Bailey of the Theosophical Society, is associated. The Hollywood offering Close Encounters of the Third Kind directed by Steven Spielberg was to the Atherius Society what Rosemary’s Baby was to the Church of Satan, a propaganda extravaganza: “(The Christian UFO Research Association) CHRUFORA saw the imminent release of the Steven Spielberg film Close Encounters of the Third Kind as the most obvious focus for their campaign launch.

(Reverend Paul) Inglesby described the massive popularity of the film as ‘slow poison, more deadly even than The Exorcist.’ The use by Spielberg of the Devil’s Tower monument in Wyoming as the focal point of the film’s final close encounter was clear evidence to CHRUFORA of the movie’s demonic inspiration. Members also identified a number of other evil elements in the plot. For example, those contacted by the aliens are subject to a form of ‘mind control’ (demonic possession) that gives them an overwhelming desire to make 446

their way to the Devil’s Tower. At the climax of the movie, the UFO entities are portrayed as benevolent and angelic, and—as all wellinformed demonologists know—Satan’s demons are able to disguise themselves as ‘angels of light’ to deceive world leaders. Rev. Millican’s reaction to the opening of the film in his native Bristol was to set up a stall in the foyer of the Odeon Film Centre. By June 1978, over 150,000 people had passed through; there were plenty of souls to save. During his campaign, he handed out 4,000 leaflets warning cinemagoers that UFOs were not ETs (extra-terrestrials) but ‘the devil’s messengers.’ Millican’s display was in direct opposition to the message of the local UFO club and the Aetherius Society – which had 20 stalls of its own at cinemas up and down the country – but his demonic message seems to have been the most newsworthy.” - Flying Saucers From Hell by Dr David Clarke (2006 A.D.)

John A. Keel in an article appearing in Flying Saucer Review likewise lamented: “Those of us who have been concerned about the true nature and intent of UFOs must regard this popularization and exploitation of the UFO lore with some alarm. Hollywood has chosen only a small part of the whole problem for the glamour treatment and Close Encounters assures its audiences that the Ufonauts are really friendly, superintelligent creatures sympathetic to the human condition. We know this has seldom been the case in real-life UFO encounters. The film is a propaganda masterpiece, not only in getting the public to accept UFOs, but leading them to accept the benevolence of the Ufonauts…The abject horror of those who have experienced close encounters and their agonizing suffering afterwords, are whitewashed by this film. People leaving the theatre find themselves gazing at the sky wistfully, hoping it will happen to them, convinced that the advent of the flying saucers is somehow a religious event … mankind meeting the gods.” - FSR: Close Encounters of a Religious Kind by John A. Keel As must be noted at this time, angels are called Watchers of men, the word ‘watch’ being synonymous with the word ‘surveillance.’ As Dr. James McDonald testified before the United States Congress in 1968 A.D.: “My own present opinion, based on two years of careful study, is that 447

UFOs are probably extraterrestrial devices engaged in something that might very tentatively be termed 'surveillance.'” - Dr. James McDonald before Congress, 1968 (Notable Pertinent Quote “…the scientist and former Air Force UFO consultant, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, has written a book, The UFO Experience, which concludes that we are now being watched by beings from another world. I cannot prove it, but I think we are still being watched by those 'ancient astronauts,' the ones who started the Biblical religion.” - The Bible and Flying Saucers by Barry H. Downing)

The Jewish Kabbalist Jaques Bergier expressed the following sentiment in his book entitled Extraterrestrial Visitations from Prehistoric Times to the Present: “Charles Fort** said: ‘We are the property of someone.’ I go further than he does, in declaring that we are the creation of someone; and less far, in postulating that we are under surveillance and perhaps ‘they’ intervene in our activities and in our history. Why hasn’t there been, and isn’t there, direct, open contact between ‘them’ and us? This question is frequently debated. For my part, I believe that these contacts do exist, but that they are hidden from man as a whole and have taken place, at well-defined periods, only with very advanced individuals, who have been above the average of their fellows.” – Prologue to Extraterrestrial Visitations from Prehistoric Times to the Present by Jacques Bergier, English Version 1973 A.D./Original publication date: 1970 A.D. Bergier was coauthor of The Morning of the Magicians (**Charles Fort, who wrote upon the subject of flying saucers in his books entitled The Book of the Damned [1919 A.D.], New Lands [1923 A.D.], Lo! [1931 A.D.] and Wild Talents [1933 A.D.] is considered to be the founder of modern ufology)

“In their 1966 book Intelligent Life in the Universe astrophysicists I.S. Shklovski and (Pulitzer Prize-winning author) Carl Sagan devote a chapter to arguments that scientists and historians should seriously consider the possibility that extraterrestrial contact occurred during recorded history.” – Wikipedia: Ancient Astronauts (As explained in UFO researcher John A. Keel’s most illuminating book entitled Why UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse p. 62 (1970 A.D.): “In a paper presented before the American Rocket Society on November 15, 1962, Dr. Carl Sagan, a young Harvard astronomer…urged that ancient myths and legends be reexamined for possible clues to an early visit by an extraterrestrial civilization.” On p.26 he writes: “Like most UFO researchers, I have read the Bible carefully several times. In view of what we now know—or suspect—about flying saucers, many of the Biblical accounts of things in the sky take on a new meaning and even corroborate some of the things happening today.” Keel was also, as evidenced by his novel Jadoo, quite the magic adept. The UFO phenomoenom is also represented in the myths and legends associated with magic and witchcraft. British witch/author Nigel Jackson writes circa 1996 A.D. in Masks of Misrule (p.42) that certain aspects of known historical encounters associated with the Horned God of the witches (the horned ‘god’ of the witches, Cernunnos, who is the alien angel Azazel) “exhibit certain features in common with so-called ‘alien abductions’ in our own day…”)

Indeed: “Throughout most of history, the manifestations of demonology (the study of demons) and demonopathy (demonic possession) have been viewed from a religious perspective and explained as the work of the Devil. The bizarre manipulations and ill effects described in the demonological literature are usually regarded as the result of a great unseen conflict between God and the Devil. In UFO lore, the same conflict has been observed…The quasi-angels of Biblical times have become magnificent spacemen…A major, but little-explored, aspect of the UFO phenomenon is therefore theological and philosophical rather than purely scientific. The UFO problem can never be untangled by physicists and scientists unless they are men who have also been schooled in liberal arts, theology, and philosophy (such as he himself was, I might add).” - UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse (John A. Keel, 1970 A.D.) (Notable quote: “Angelology is a fascinating offshoot of demonology. The appearances of angels have been chronicled down through the ages, and several new angel reports still turn up each year. Once again we find that these reports contain all the basic ingredients of the UFO reports.” - UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D.)

“What we are witnessing is a reenactment of some very ancient myths and legends common to many of the world’s religious traditions. The most obvious is the ongoing battle for the souls of mankind between the opposing forces of light and dark, good and evil, God and the Devil, played out in a technological setting where spaceships replace traditional religious imagery.” - Flying Saucers From Hell by Dr David Clarke (2006 A.D.)

Even the politically influential American evangelical Southern Baptist minister Billy Graham (who has met with no less than twelve U.S. Presidents and who is, most interestingly enough, a 33° Freemason, a testament to their ability to infiltrate well established organizations) in his book entitled Angels: God’s Secret Agents in a round-about way acknowledges: “…UFOs are astonishingly ‘angel-like’ in some of their reported appearances…”

Indeed: “It seems likely that Satan and his fallen angels may be somehow involved in UFO sightings and alien encounters and are involved in deceiving the spiritually naive. A growing number of evangelicals 449

now seem to agree.” -

Flying Saucers and Alien Abductions: What’s a Christian to Think? by Louis D. Whitworth, Crossroads Evangelical Ministries (The “internationally known scholar”/ufologist Dr. Clifford Wilson astutely poses the following question in his book U.F.O.s and their Mission Impossible to which query I would answer with a resounding yes: “Is there a desperate preparation for a last-ditch stand by the forces of evil, a final attempt to thwart the plans of the Holy God against Whom they have rebelled?” Yes. This is exactly what is taking place. But God has defeated them before and will inevitably defeat them again.

And He is coming soon)

As Whitworth therein explains: “The personal reactions of victims after alien abduction or extensive alien contact point out the demonic nature of these extraterrestrial visitors…Abductee surveys have revealed that the overwhelming majority of abductees have shown an interest in paranormal activities, Eastern religions, and [the] New Age world-view…The fact that very few born-again Christians show up among abductees is instructive.”

Concerning The Alien Message to Humanity Whitworth writes: “Routine communication by aliens to humans is largely accomplished telepathically. Another common element in these encounters is the presentation to the abductee of long detailed messages on large screens inside the craft. These communications usually warn of cataclysmic events and destruction coming upon the earth. Sometimes the information is blatantly religious, claiming (1) that we humans were created by the aliens, (2) that the aliens are trying to promote us along the road of evolution by their hybrid breeding program, and (3) that mankind must unite, through alien supervision, into a one-world government and a one-world religion in order to survive.” As Whitworth concludes: “The ultimate goal of the aliens is to deceive and mislead as many people as possible in order to keep people from coming to saving faith in Jesus Christ…Satan and his fallen angels…are using a different approach and some new disguises, but its the same age-old deception.” This is exemplary of the Demonic Theory of UFOs. (Notable Quote: “There is not a single UFO incident on record that cannot be explained as a demonic deception or apparition…What does seem clear, from a spiritual perspective, is that the ultimate purpose of the UFO phenomenon is to help prepare the collective consciousness of the human race for the coming of the Antichrist as foretold in the Bible.” – FSR: UFOs: A Demonic Conspiracy by Fr. Thomas Kulp. Concerning modern UFO sightings Reverend Paul Inglesby (6/27/01) notes: “…my unshakeable belief is that there is no such thing as a good UFO. They are all what the Church calls deceptions of the devil.”

Satan is, as must be noted: “…the prince of the power of the air” [See Ephesians 2:2]) (Another related theory is the Jinn Theory of UFOs, that UFOs can be attributed to the beings known as the Jinn as set forth in the Islamic holy book known as the Quran/Koran and as illustrated in the One Thousand and One Nights/Arabian Nights [Alf Layla wa-Layla] tales.

450

For an interesting take on this theory see A Brief Account of the True Nature of the “UFO Entities” by Gordon Creighton, Flying Saucer Review Vol. 29, No. 5. As regards the fact the jinni represent fallen angels, this theory also has merit. I do not believe, however, that there is any such a thing as benevolent jinni)

Most legitimate UFO sightings today may indeed be attributed to the activities of the saucer-shaped/“wheel”-shaped cherubim of the rebellious fallen angels. The angels were particularly notably active in the mid 20th Century A.D.: “The beginning of the modern UFO era is often traced back to June 24, 1947, when businessman Kenneth Arnold sighted “a formation of very bright objects” while flying over the Cascade mountains of Washington State…Arnold described the objects as moving “like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water.” Bill Bequette, a reporter with the East Oregonian newspaper, recalled Arnold's description when he later placed his story on the AP wire. His use of the phrase “saucer-like” gave the phenomenon a name: “flying saucers” … Kenneth Arnold's sighting was one of the first of over 850 UFO reports to appear in the US media by the end of July, 1947. Approximately 150 reports made their way into the files of Technical Intelligence, T-2, at Wright Field. Today these files are part of the USAF Project Blue Book files located at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland…Perhaps even better known than Kenneth Arnold's sighting is the so-called Roswell Incident, the alleged retrieval and cover-up of a crashed flying disc somewhere near Roswell, New Mexico, in June/July, 1947.” - PROJECT 1947: UFO REPORTS - 1947

Some four months following this incident at Roswell: “The newly created United Nations approved the Partition Plan for Palestine (United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181) on November 29, 1947, which sought to divide the country into two states—one Arab and one Jewish. Jerusalem was to be designated an international city—a corpus separatum—administered by the UN.” Wikipedia

Soon after came the declaration of the state of Israel by David Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv on May 14, 1948 A.D. (May Day on the Julian Calendar) successfully bringing to an end the British Mandate for 451

Palestine which provided for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish” people the commission of which was established by the League of Nations after World War I with the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire under the terms of the Treaty of Sèvres signed on the 10th of August, 1920 A.D. in accordance with formal British government policy as set forth in the The Balfour Declaration: “The Balfour Declaration of 1917 (dated 2 November 1917; All-Souls Day, established for those who reside in Purgatory) was a formal statement of policy by the British government stating that His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”

The declaration was made in a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Baron Rothschild (Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild), a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland.

The letter reflected the position of the British Cabinet, as agreed upon in a meeting on 31 October 1917 (on Samhain/Halloween). It further stated that the declaration is a sign of ‘sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations.’” – Wikipedia: Balfour Declaration of 1917 (“In the early 20th century, the Western powers controlled Asia and Africa and identified a wealth of assets in the Middle East. In 1916, Sir Mark Sykes and Francois Georges-Picot - a British official and a French diplomat, respectively - drew up an agreement on behalf of their governments describing a tentative division of the Ottoman Empire, which was fighting alongside Germany against the Allies…In essence, Sykes’ and Picot’s governments coveted Syria and most of Palestine for France, and what was later to become Iraq for Britain. In his fascinating book “A Peace to End All Peace” (1989), American historian David Fromkin describes how the great powers shaped the map of the Middle East in World War I and thereafter. According to Fromkin, the antiSemitic view that the Jews had the ability to influence those powers and foment conspiracies underlay the diplomacy of the Western countries, which hoped to harness Jewish might on their behalf. After reaching the agreement with Picot, Sykes was about to set out for Saint Petersburg, the capital of the czarist empire, to present the details to the Russians - who had always wanted to gain control of Istanbul and have access to the Mediterranean Sea. En route, Sykes met Capt. William Reginald Hall, head of Royal Naval Intelligence, in London and showed him his map. Hall told him Britain should send its forces to Palestine and only then would the Arabs switch to its side in the war. “Force is the best Arab propaganda” to use when dealing with the Arabs, the intelligence officer explained to the diplomat. (Or translated into our present-day Israeli lingo: “The only thing the Arabs understand is force.”) Sykes was convinced the agreement he had concocted with the French would satisfy Sharif Hussein of the Hejaz, the progenitor of the Hashemite dynasty, who sought independence for his people from the Ottoman Empire in exchange for support of the British. And then Hall surprised his British interlocutor by introducing a new factor into the power equation: The Jews, he said,

452

had “a strong material, and a very strong political, interest in the future of the country.” Sykes was dumbstruck. He had never heard of Zionism before then. He rushed to a meeting with the Jewish minister in the British war cabinet, Herbert Samuel, for an explanation. This was the start of the process that would lead later to the Balfour Declaration, the conquest of Palestine, the establishment of the British Mandate, and the appointment of Samuel as its first high commissioner. At this point were sown the seeds of Arab anger at the Western powers, which had dismantled and then reassembled nations and states in the Middle East and promised Palestine to the Zionists. The final borders in the Middle East were set by then-Colonial Secretary (and later British Prime Minister) Winston Churchill at the Cairo Conference in 1922, which separated Transjordan (modern Jordan, which included the ‘West Bank’ of the Jordan River, which Israel later captured from Jordan during the 1967 A.D. Arab-Israeli War. It is this land which Palestinians claim as their own) from the boundaries of the Palestine Mandate. The Israeli right mourns that “tearing apart” to this very day.” - Caution: Middle East under construction by Aluf Benn, Haaretz Daily Newspaper 3/25/11)

The Treaty of Versailles which was signed on June 28, 1919 A.D. formally brought Germany’s participation in World War I to an ignominious end and contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the onset of World War II. The Second World War brought reports of mysterious round, lighted UFO’s known as Foo Fighters capable of moving at incredible speeds, the reported sightings of which occur in both the European and Pacific Theaters of Operation.

The rash of UFO sightings in America following World War II produced a number of government intelligence investigatory projects, these often being highly secretive in nature: “Project Sign was an official U.S. Government study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) undertaken by the United States Air Force in late 1947 (following the incident at Roswell amidst the 1947 UFO flap) and dissolved in late 1948… Some of Sign's personnel including director Robert Sneider, favored the extraterrestrial hypothesis (abbreviated as ETH) (that credible UFO reports can be credited to UFOs which are extrarerrestial in nature) as the best explanation for UFO reports. They prepared the Estimate of the Situation arguing their case. This theory was ultimately rejected by high-ranking officers, and Project Sign was dissolved and replaced by Project Grudge.” – Wikipedia: Project Sign (One of the men involved with Project Sign which sought to sweep mounting public inquiries concerning UFO reports under the proverbial rug was a man named Alfred Loedding, present at a number of classified early rocketry tests conducted by Jack Parsons and company in conjuction with the United States Air Force [See p.75 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.]. Another interesting character in the Jack Parsons saga is a man named Andrew G. Haley, who coined the term Metalaw [a concept of space law based on a set of ‘universal’ laws as set forth by spiritist Immanuel Kant] in relation to the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) governing

any human-alien contact with extraterrestrial intelligences which mankind may in the future expect to encounter [and as Dr. Ernst Fasan elaborately proposed concerning Relations with Alien Intelligences and “the entire sum of legal rules regulating relationships between different races in the universe,” in express advocation of an Alien Equal Rights amendment of sorts, with perhaps Crowley’s maxim “Do as thou wilt” and the infamous alleged alien autopsy reports being a wholly unacceptable state of affairs in their enlightened eyes. Now if we could just get those pesky fallen angels to sign on…])

Occultist Kenneth Grant credits Jack Parsons’ Babalon Working magic ritual for the aforementioned 1947 A.D. UFO flap: "The [Babalon] Working began in 1945-46, a few months before Crowley's death in 1947, and just prior to the wave of unexplained aerial phenomena now recalled as the 'Great Flying Saucer Flap' (of June/July, 1947 A.D.)...Parsons opened a door and something flew in (it must be remembered as has been noted both Crowley and Parsons claimed to be in contact with the fallen alien angels). A Gateway for the Great Old Ones has already been established—and opened—by members of the O.T.O. who are in rapport with this entity [Lam, an extra-terrestrial being whom Crowley supposedly contacted while in America in 1919]." - Kenneth Grant, O.T.O. Parsons’ partner in the Babalon Working, Marjorie Cameron, was also a firm believer in UFOs and even spoke of encountering such a flying saucer (which likely made an appearance in response to Parson’s Babalon Working magic ritual). Concerning this incident Tristan Eldrich writes: “Did Jack Parsons' fool-hardy magick really open some kind of door, a door that would haunt the skies of the twentieth century with the peripheral spectre of the UFO? (Kenneth) Grant’s theory is undoubtedly among the stranger and more fanciful we have heard for the origin of the (flying) saucers. Nevertheless, it is interesting to note that in March of 1946, Marjorie Cameron witnessed a flying saucer hovering over the Parsonage (Parsons and other OTO members had long been involved in magic rituals invoking the fallen angels); had she reported it, this would have made her the first eyewitness of the Great Flap of 47. Writing about the incident to (Crowley-disciple) Jane Wolfe in 1953, Cameron associated the craft with the ‘war engines’ promised in Crowley's Book of the Law: ‘The flying saucers - the miracle! - our war engine! I saw the first one in the spring of 1946...’”

- American History Hex Conclusion; the selection to which Ms. Cameron refers reads: “I am a 454

god of War and of Vengeance…I will give you a war-engine. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you.” – The Book of the Law 3.3,7-8 (As we learn in Sex and Rockets: “Another Aerojet employee [recall Parsons’ involvement with Aerojet], Daniel Fry, saw a saucer in 1950 and went on to become an active figure in the 1950s contacteeism…Still another occult-oriented employee in the aerospace engineering industry, the Californian Orfeo Angelucci, claimed to be a contactee in the 1950s.” One 1950s ‘UFO contactee’ of note was a Theosophist author and friend of UFO contactee George Adamski named George Hunt Williamson who reportedly channeled extraterrestrial UFO saucer crews with the use of a homemade spirit board.** Another contactee, Truman Bethurman, was a fortune teller/spiritual advisor. Yet another 1950s ‘UFO contactee’ was a Hughes’ Aircraft Company [where Jack Parsons was also at one time employed] and Lockheed employee named George Van Tassels [1950s ‘UFO contactee’ Orfeo Angelucci worked at the same Lockheed plant in Burbank, CA as George Van Tassels]. I believe a pattern also exists here somewhere, quite possibly a concerted effort meant to discredit real UFO contactees; in fact, it is said the CIA often infiltrates UFO groups. Many UFO contactees with unbelievably inane stories [such as the aliens encountered hail from the planet Venus and Mars] are associated with and have government Intelligence/CalTech/Aerojet/Hughes’ Aircraft/Theosophical Society backgrounds and/or incorporate Theosophical Society themes within their writings. It may be they were all majorly naïve Overshadowed occultists fed all the typical fallen angel lies. It may be a combination of the two. It may be neither. At any rate: “Since 1947, there has been a small but vocal group of crackpots and publicity seekers who claim to be in almost constant touch with the ‘Brothers from Outer Space.’ These people have founded mystical cults…The odious reputation of these groups makes many an apparently sincere ‘contactee’ reluctant to step forward with his story and thus inadvertently join their ranks.” - True© Magazine: Never Mind the Saucer! by John A. Keel) (** “Although most of the contactees claim an initial physical contact with a space being, the operable mechanics of the experience seem reminiscent of what can be seen in Spiritualism as the medium works with a spirit guide or a control from the "other side." In Spiritualistic or mediumistic channeling, the sensitive individual enters the trance state and relays information through the guide, who contacts various spirits…The mechanism in the Flying Saucer Movement is often that of the contactee going into some state of trance and channeling information from space beings. George King, George Van Tassel, Gloria Lee, George Hunt Williamson, and several other contactees have been members of psychic development groups.” - UFO Contactees and Abductees, Gale Encyclopedia of the Unusual and Unexplained [2003 A.D.])

The “yes” men brought in, the age of cover-up began in earnest: “Project Grudge was a short-lived project by the U.S. Air Force to investigate unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Grudge succeeded Project Sign in February, 1949…The project formally ended in December 1949, but actually continued on in a very minimal capacity until late 1951…and was then followed by Project Blue Book. Project Blue Book was one of a series of systematic studies of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) conducted by the United States Air Force (U.S.A.F.) started in 1952…” – Wikipedia: Project Grudge (Is their any wonder why America’s Intelligence agencies, with a long history of secret communication during magic rituals with UFO occupants who in actuality are rebel angels and under whose control they had fallen, would seek to undertake such a cover-up and misinformation campaign? I

should think not. The possibility also exists that incarnate angels in human-like bodies have infiltrated the highest reaches of the government and armed forces themselves: “The belief that alien parahumans are living among us is not confined to ufology circles. Numerous religious and occult groups have claimed for hundreds of years that angels and devils who look and act exactly like us have been in our mist since the dawn of man….The late Dr. James McDonald, a meteorologist from the University of Arizona who became embroiled in the UFO controversy, privately discussed, in his last years, the possibility that alien beings were not only present on this planet but were systematically taking over top posts in the government and military.” - SAGA: The Flying Saucer Evidence Everyone Ignores by John A. Keel)

The era of coverup and secrecy continued. incident occurring in 1952 A.D. included:

One notable

“The 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident, also known as the Washington flap or the Washington National Airport Sightings, was a series of unidentified flying object reports from July 12 to July 29, 1952, over Washington D.C. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19–20 and July 26–27. Longtime ufologist Richard H. Hall, who served as the assistant director of NICAP and as the director of the Fund for UFO Research, writes “The summer 1952 UFO sighting wave was one of the largest of all time, and arguably the most significant of all time in terms of the credible reports and hardcore scientific data obtained.” … The sightings of July 19–20, 1952, made front-page headlines in newspapers around the nation (note this date. It is one with which we are quite familiar).”

– Wikipedia: 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident (The first of these incidents took place, as must be noted, on the day the last ‘secret rites’ were administered for Jack Parsons on July 19.

1952 A.D. subsequent to his death, and it is possible the rebel angels staged a show for this event) (“Recently [in 1969 A.D.] the U.S. Government Printing Office issued a publication compiled by the Library of Congress for the Air Force Office of Scientific Research: UFOs and Related Subjects: An Annotated Bibliography. In preparing this work, the senior bibliographer, Miss Lynn E. Catoe, actually read thousands of UFO articles, books, and publications. In her preface to this 400-page book she states: A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing, and invisible entities, as well as phenomena like poltergeist manifestations and possession....Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demoniac possession and psychic phenomena which has long been known to theologians and parapsychologists.” – p.38 Why UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D.)

On July 19/20, 1952 A.D. (coincidentally enough the very same date of Azazel’s expected future release, this date also coinciding with annual Bohemian Grove magic festivities which include the conjuring of/communication with the rebellious alien fallen angels), seven unidentified flying objects (recall the Maskims, Satan’s group of 456

seven cherubim) appeared over the White House (Presidents Carter and Reagan have also both reported UFO sightings), the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States of America (who at this time was 33° Freemason U.S. President Harry S. Truman), also appearing over the United States Capitol building, which is the meeting place of the United States Congress, located purposely on a high-place, on the new Capitoline Hill (Capitol Hill was in fact named after the Capitoline Hill in Rome). The House of the Temple, headquarters of the (33°) Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in the Southern Jurisdiction, is also located in Washington, D.C., 13 blocks away from the White House. While many work in association with and/or under the influence of these alien ‘fallen angels,’ the truth itself may never be told.

Appendix A The Rose Cross of Azazel According to an esoteric reading of the Tarot, a Red Rose represents Venus (Azazel’s human wife), while a Red Cross represents the angel Azazel. The combined Rose-Cross in one respect represents the sexual union of Azazel and his human wife. The word ‘Rosicrucian’ is German for ‘Rose Cross,’ a term synonymous with Red Cross. In addition to this, the word ‘rose’ is an anagram for Eros, the name of the Greek god of Love, who was the first-born son of the angel Azazel and of his human wife. The 18th Degree in Freemasonry is commonly known as the Rose-Croix (Rose Cross), a fact showing the relation to and establishing a link between these two seemingly diverse organizations. In fact, the ascension of Freemasonry (not to be confused with the more archaic Masonry) as we know it today correspondingly relates to the decline of the Rosicrucian order in Europe, most markedly in Germany, the birthplace of Rosicrucianism (Dr Sigismund Bacstrom, an important Rosicrucian scholar of the alchemical sciences, wrote in Bacstrom’s Rosicrucian Society (circa late 18th to early 19th Centuries A.D.) of “the August most ancient and most learned (Rosicrucian) Society, the Investigators of Divine, Spiritual and Natural Truth (which Society, more than two centuries and a half ago (during the 15th Century), did separate themselves from the Freemasons…).” These movements being inter-related and dynamic by their their very natures, Freemasonry later re-absorbed many Rosicrucians back within its ranks (See pp.55-56 Proofs of a Conspiracy: Chapter I by John Robinson, 1798 A.D.). There are many Rosicrucian Societies yet in existence today, most notably AMORC. In addition, and of a most interesting note, the Order of Maat Supreme Grand Lodge owns a web site called Links Central of Maat (M.A.A.T. = Master of the Temple A.’A.’ [A.’A.’ = Aleister Crowley’s Argenteum Astrum/Silver Star].

See p. 241 Nightside of Eden by Kenneth Grant, 1977 A.D.), by their own profession

“a web ring for Rosicrucians,” which employs a rose-cross ankh symbol (a rosetau). This is derived from the name of the Egyptian god Seker, who represented the angel Azazel, who was called ‘He of the rosetau,’ which is to say, he of the rose (red) cross. In Scene 2 of the 3rd Tableau of the Initiation of Plato, it is revealed that Azazel’s symbol, “the red cross,” was “traced upon the banner of Egypt,” on 458

what amounted to being the national flag of Egypt. And according to Flying Roll No. 10 (in Roman numerals, 10 = X, named in honor of Azazel) of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, ‘X’ (a cross variant) is the occult sign of Osiris risen (Osiris represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. It is for this reason A. E. Waite, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, lists the Wheel of Fortune, representative of Azazel’s cherub, as the 10th [Roman numeral X] Major Arcana of the Tarot. There exist those who hold the crossedarm symbolism represents ‘Osiris slain’). It must also be noted The Church of Scientology employs a similar logo, called the Cross Saltire.** Compare the Cross Saltire to Aleister Crowley’s OTO Rose Cross Lamen (a lamen is a magical charm-like pendent worn around the neck by the leader of a witch’s coven). This signifies Azazel’s (represented by the ‘X’) future appearance as the false Christ (represented by the cross). When the symbol for Azazel (x) is superimposed upon the cross (+), it forms what is known as an eightpoint compass rose. For this reason a classical wooden ship’s wheel, which resembles an eight point compass rose, is at times used as a symbol of Azazel (as are wheels of similar composition). A ship’s anchor (often found wound round with a chain) is also used as a symbol for the union of Azazel and his human wife, as it represents the union of the tau cross, representative of Azazel, with the crescent moon, the crescent moon being a symbol of Azazel’s human wife). (**Author’s Note: The Process Church of the Final Judgment founded by two ex-Scientologists employed a decidedly related symbol depicting a serpent upon a cross [in the place of Christ crucified], what one might venture to identify as being a Chritianizedversion of the palladium (the palladium is related to the alchemical device known as the ‘Crucified Serpent.’ Most of the writings of the Rosicrucians are alchemical in nature). They even had rings made with this cross depicted in red on a white background [within the ‘disk’] the sigil of Azazel [See below]):

In Egyptian hieroglyphics the god Ptah (a god who represented 459

Azazel) is always associated with an ‘x’ within a circle, also known as the quartered circle (for this reason an ox has become an esoteric symbol of Azazel (Oxford University derives its name from it). A male ox is called a bull, a common angel symbol (by extension, Azazel’s human wife may be symbolized as a cow. The Egyptian cow goddess represents Azazel’s human wife). Compare the ‘x’ within a circle symbol of Ptah to the Cross of Wodan, also a cross within a circle. The Germanic god Wodan is yet another god who represented the angel Azazel/Behemoth. The Celtic cross of the Druids also incorporates the ‘cross within a circle’ motif. In some circles the ‘cross within a circle’ motif is known as the Mark of Cain (this is due to the fact that in the Phoenician alphabet the letter ‘T’ is rendered as an ‘X’ and is pronounced ‘tau,’ meaning ‘mark’). Cain of course was the son of Azazel by Eve. The quartered circle was the badge (talisman/magic charm) of the Grand Master of the Knights Templars. No doubt it was worn in part to protect the user in battle as God was said in Genesis 4:15 to have placed such a “mark” upon Cain to keep him from being slain). The so-called Freemasonic Scottish Rite 18th Degree Rose Croix quartered circle (also a symbol of the Gnostics/Gnosticism) is a variant of the ‘cross within a circle’ motif. The NATO military alliance also employees a variant of the ‘quartered circle’ logo which is representive of the god of war Azazel. As we learn from the Wicca witch priestess Doreen Valiente in Witchcraft for Tomorrow pp.67-68, the cross within the circle motif, the sign of Azazel, was one of the designs of the ‘magic circles’ of the witches; the construction of such a ‘magic circle’ was standard practice when witch’s invoked their Horned God, who was Azazel! In fact, the device known as ‘the witches’ mark’ which was employed by the witches (often signed during witches’ initiation ceremonies) is “an X-shaped cross” (Ibid p.179), the sign of Azazel.

The red cross (in appearance a red X), was emblazoned upon Azazel’s cherub Behemoth: “Lamia is the ‘snake’ among the Ophidian; Lama is the hand: lamh, hand (for this reason a hand may also be used to represent Azazel; two examples are the god Sabazios, who represents Azazel, and whose symbol is a hand and also the witch’s Hand of Glory which likewise represented Azazel), is a divine name in the Scythian tongue. It also means the number 10, and the Roman numeral X, which is a cross…which, according to Eastern allegory, is placed…upon the Rebellious Spirits (read: a red X was 460

emblazoned upon the cherub of the angels) in their ‘abyss’ or ‘prison’ (within the earth).” - The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries by SRIA member Hargrave Jennings, 1870 A.D.. The SRIA is an English Rosicrucian Society. SRIA members, it must be remembered, gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, oweing its “mysteries” in part to this book by Jennings). The Knights Templar god

Baphomet also represented Azazel.

As we learn from The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries (Hargrave Jennings) p.215, the Coptic root –met encountered in the word Bapho-met means “ten.”

The Roman numeral signifying 10, rendered as an X, a cross variation, is the sign of Azazel (Ba [ab/father]-pho [oph/serpent] – met [X]).

In her book Witchcraft for Tomorrow p.117 the Wicca witchpriestess Doreen Valiente reveals: “Ogham was a sacred Druid alphabet and would certainly have contained magic secrets…” I would say one of the biggest secrets it reveals is the mystery surrounding the identity of the mysterious Theosophical Society deva known as Master KH with whom many high-ranking members of this society claimed to be in contact. In the sacred Ogham alphabet of the magic practicing Druids, KH was rendered as an X. Master KH, which is the Druid way to say, Master X, was the Hidden Master Azazel himself! This is also the idea behind the word ‘Ur-Khaos,’ the god of the underworld: KH (X) + A (horned ox head sign of the horned god) + O (the disk, a cherub) + S (the serpent), the serpent horned god of the X-marked disk of the Chaldean city of Ur (UrKhaos was later translated as Orcus, the Gaelic Druidic god of the underworld/abyss).

According to the Ritual Magic of the Golden Dawn (p.208, King 1987), the rising of Adonai, of Mithra the Lord of Wide Pastures was by the ancient mysteries symbolized under the form of a rose (also known as the ‘Rose of Dawn’). In a like way, the gods Adonai and Mithra represented Azazel/Behemoth (“Adonai has…come to mean, through the Rosicrucian tradition, the Holy Guardian Angel [with whom, it must be noted, magicians sought to communicate].” - Eight Lectures on Yoga by Aleister Crowley, 1939 A.D.). Azazel will in the future arise within his cherub being loosed from his earthly imprisonment. In respect to the angel Azazel, the rose cross also symbolizes the future rising of Azazel/Behemoth, Azazel being accepted as the coming Messiah. So the rose is also used as a symbol of Azazel.

The red cross as a symbol of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth also hearkens back to the Egyptian mysteries of Osiris. The god Osiris 461

represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, and by extension, Azazel. In the Egyptian Hymn to Osiris, the “disk” of Osiris (Osiris = Behemoth) is identified as the “rosetau,” the rose (red) cross (“Divine oblation to Osiris [Behemoth] Khent-Amenti, lord of Abydos…the disk…the rostau” - Hymn to Osiris). Cherubim are disk-shaped. It must also be noted the tau cross (rendered in Greek as a T) is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. Azazel’s prophesied release takes place on the 19th day of July 2016 A.D. In Freemasony, the symbol for Azazel, a tau cross, is represented by the T-square. The Rosicrucians, whose name means “rose cross” in German, names their secret organization after the rostau/disk/Osiris/Behemoth. The Germanic name Christian Rosenkreuz, which in English translates as ‘Christian Rose Cross,’ represents no other persona than the rebellious angel Azazel himself.

The name is a play on words which may be interpreted as the christ of the red cross, representing Azazel, whose sign is the red cross, in reference to his future appearance as the false-christ/false prophet/messiah (See Revelations 16:13; according to the Rosicrucian Hargrave Jennings in The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries, p.142, the color red is male and represents the Salvator, a Latin word meaning ‘Savior’). Theosophist Freethinker Ida C. Craddock provides another piece of our puzzle: “Why did these mystics call themselves Rosicrucian? Some writers have attempted to derive the name from two words meaning "dew" and "cross": but the usual interpretation is "followers of the Rosy Cross" (read: followers of Azazel) a cross with a rose (used analogously of Azazel) being used as the society's symbol.” - Heavenly Bridegrooms. (It must also be mentioned when one adds the disk (O) [Azazel’s cherub is disk-shaped], to the word Sirius, it becomes Osirius, and when one drops the ‘u’ it becomes Osiris. The heliacal rising of the star Sirius in 2016 A.D. takes place on the 19th day of July, the day Azazel in his disk-shaped red-cross emblazoned cherub is to emerge from his earthen imprisonment, claiming to be Christ. In this same way, the Babylonian god Ea, alternatively spelled Ia (another such god which represented Azazel/Behemoth), becomes the name of the Gnostic god Iao with the inclusion of the disk [O]).

The words ‘Sirius’ and ‘Osiris’ are related to the Semetic word ‘Siru’: “Scholars ordinarily refer to the serpent god (who is Azazel) by the name Siru, being the Semitic word for serpent…” - p.120, Tammuz and Ishtar (S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D. It would also seem the name Isis is also derived from the word Osiris). As an additional added bonus

note, in the ancient Babylonian system of Gematria, where letters are 462

used to represent numbers, the number 10 is represented by the letters IA (which Roman numeral is represented by an X). ‘Ia’ of course is an alternative spelling of the name of the god ‘Ea.’ Compare the modern spelling of our number ‘ten’ to the name of the Egyptian sun disk ‘Aten’ (in Roman, A-X) (AX = IAO = OX). No doubt there exists a connection here. In the pictographic alphabet of the Egyptians, a horned ‘ox head’ (representative of the horned-god Azazel) was the equivalent of the Roman letter ‘A’ (and hence was also derived the anarchist symbol for Azazel, an A within a circle/disk [O]). All of these are designations for Azazel’s cherub Behemoth and by extension, Azazel. Additionally, Ax/Abrasax were synonymous terms: “You are Ax, you are Abrasax (Ab [father] + Ra [the disk] + S [the serpent] + A [horned oxhead/horned god] + X [ten] (A-ten)), the angel who sits upon the tree of Paradise...” (A-X is the Archaic Latin alphabetic version of the classical Greek Alpha-Omega, the title of the resurrected Christ (See Revelations 22:13). Both are the first and last letters of their respective alphabets.

Perhaps it signifies a Creator/Destroyer, an angel and the cherub [the word ‘destroyer’ in The Bible is used synonymously with that of the word ‘cherub’] to which he was assigned). As such an ax is often used as a symbol for Abrasax/Azazel (compare ‘ax’ to the Greek word ‘aix’ which means ‘goat’ (note the addition of the phallic ‘pillar,’ I). The Hebrew word for a male goat is also used to denote a demon. The demons are the rebellious fallen angels. For this reason Satyrs/demons, representative of fallen angels, are symbolically represented as being goat-like in appearance, such as the god Pan, the king of satyrs, who represented Azazel). The letter ‘O’ was derived from the Semitic `Ayin (eye), and hence, the ‘eye (disk) of Horus,’ also known as Azazel’s cherub Behemoth.

Constantine’s ‘IX monogram’ (also employed by the Merovingians) often encircled with the disk in its various forms is likewise esoterically connected with the false christ Azazel.

Constantine never actually abandoned his pagan beliefs, he simply applied a Christian veneer. A phallis also is a symbol used to represent Azazel, often represented as an ‘I,’ it being representative of Osiris’ phallis which according to one version of the Osiris legend was the single dismembered member of Osiris’ dissected corpse retrieved by the goddess Isis. One may conclude this to be the origin of the artificial stone phalli and priapic statues employed in Egyptian magic rituals, it representing Osiris’ amputated phallis. I believe such priapic idols were actually used to perform hiero gamos magic rituals 463

involving the ritual rending of a virgin’s hymen.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn also esoterically derives its name from Azazel. Hermes was another Egyptian name for Azazel, he of a thousand names. The Golden Dawn is analogous of the solar disk, the sun, which like Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, is diskshaped and rises at dawn, which is the expected time of Azazel’s future release (“the holy one (read: the angel Azazel in his cherub) appeared…;; as a golden dawn did he appear…” - Aleister Crowley’s LIBER ARCANORUM τών ATU τού TAHUTI QUAS VIDIT ASAR IN AMENNTI SUB FIGURÂ CCXXXI LIBER CARCERORUM τών QLIPHOTH CUM SUIS GENIIS. ADDUNTUR SIGILLA ET NOMINA EORUM) (in the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate

XXI B.D. Chap. XV it was said the Egyptian god Ra, who represented the angel Azazel, “risest at dawn” in allusion to the time of Azazel’s release). Israeli Regardie, a Rosicrucian who later joined the Stella Matutina, a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Regardie served as personal secretary to Aleister Crowley), writes in his book entitled The Golden Dawn: “‘The RoseCross’… is a glyph…of the higher Genius (read: angel) to whose knowledge and conversation the student is eternally aspiring” (in reference to Aleister Crowley’s “attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel”). The ‘Genius’ of which Regardie speaks with whom such individuals sought to converse is a so-called ‘guardian angel,’ the angel Azazel. His glyph/symbol is the rose cross/red cross.

Indeed, Azazel is known as Sirius, the Hidden God of the Illuminati (the Illuminati/angels are also known as the ‘Grand Masters of the Templars’), so named as his return is associated with the Dog Star Sirius. This fact is important enough to repeat. Azazel is known as the “Hidden God Sirius”: “In his book ‘Magickal Revival’ Grant writes that Phoenix was (Aleister) Crowley’s most secret name. It represented the ancient Constellation in which Sothis (Seth) or Sirius was the highest star. He writes that Crowley associated the very heart of his teachings and ‘Magick’ with a certain star, namely the ‘Sun behind the Sun,’ the ‘Hidden God Sirius.’ The secret of the Illuminati, or the Enlightened Ones is the blazing star Sirius, Grant writes.” – The Sirius Mysteries (Notable quote: “To the Egyptians, the Sun behind the Sun was known as Osiris (a god who represents Behemoth/Azazel) and also as Amun-RA, the Hidden Sun.” - The Book of the Master by Marshall Adams. Indeed, the Egyptian Hymn to Osiris-Soka is a summons/call addressing the angel Azazel in greeting: “Hail, thou 464

hidden God, Osiris (Behemoth/Azazel; Sirius is a cognate of Osiris) in the underworld!”) (The Great Hymn of Aten, Aten being representative of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, is called therein the “hidden…god…in the underworld…”). Crowley was merely carrying on a long established magic tradition, most noteably of the magic practiced by high-degree Freemasons (often gleened from ongoing archaeological discoveries): “The Ancient Astronomers (astronomers were as a rule astrologers/sorcerers) saw all the great Symbols of Masonry in the Stars. Sirius glitters in our (Freemasonic) lodges as the Blazing Star (which is a symbol of Azazel. ‘Blazing’ is synonymous with ‘shining’**).” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Scottish Freemasonry by Albert Pike. Indeed, as we learn from C. W. Leadbeater (a prominent member of the Theosophical Society) in Glimpses of Masonic History the Blazing Star Sirius (representative of Azazel), the so-called glyph of the higher genius with whom all practitioners of magic sought to contact, was symbolized by “the Rose which ever blossoms at the heart of the Cross,” the very symbol of the Rosicrucians themselves. Compare to the Dogon tribe in Africa which also portrays the helical rising of Sirius as a cross with a flower-like sun at its center. (The fallen angel Azazel is associated with the star Sirius. The FivePointed Star, the pentagram/pentagon, is the icon of Sirius, and as such, the icon of Azazel, as well as the esoteric importance of the five-pointed Blazing Star of the Masons. The symbol of the star Sirius as a symbol of Azazel hearkens back to Biblical days: “Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch [their King Azazel], and the star [called a Chiun] of your god Remphan [Azazel], figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” - Acts 7:43; and again: “But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch [their King Azazel] and Chiun your images, the star of your god [Remphan/Azazel], which ye made to yourselves.” - Amos 5:26) (** “According to Sufi expert Idries Shah the “true rulers of the world are the ‘Enlightened Ones’” (Illuminati) [read: the fallen angels] and the Sufi have discovered their secret in the Quran in the following verse: “Allah [who is Azazel] is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. His Light is resembled by a lamp within a niche. The lamp within a crystal, like a shining (blazing) star.” He claims the allusion to a ‘shining star’ is a reference to ‘Sirius’ (See The Sirius Mysteries). The angels are known as the Shining Ones and a star is often used as the symbol for an angel, hence Shining Star/Blazing Star) (A Notso-notable Quote: “Such surely is the destiny that awaits our beloved Order in the future;; such the splendour that will transfigure the Craft [Freemasonry] in the years that are to come, until within its temple walls once more is raised - not only in symbol but in actual fact (upon Azazel’s release from his earthen imprisonment) - the ladder which stretches between earth and heaven, between men and the Grand Lodge above, to lead them from the darkness of the world to the fullness of light in God (he speaks not, to be sure, of the God of Christians and Jews, but of the god of the Craft, who is Azazel), to the Rose which ever blossoms at the heart of the Cross, to the Blazing Star whose shining brings peace and strength and blessing to all the worlds.” - Glimpses of Masonic History by C. W. Leadbeater)

According to a footnote to The Dionysian Artificers: “Thamuz 465

(a variant spelling of Tammuz) signifies the name of a month, and likewise the name of an idol or divinity, which even in the opinion of St. Jerome is the same as (the god) Adonis (both are gods who represent the angel Azazel). Plutarch says that the Egyptians called Osiris Ammuz, and from thence was corruptly derived the name of Jupiter Ammon (‘Ammon,’ a varient spelling of ‘Ammoum,’ means ‘the Hidden One.’ See p.29 Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente, 1978 A.D.). Robertson (Thesaurus Linguae Sanctae) says that the word Ammuz (read Ammoum) used by Herodotus and Plutarch, were corruptions from the Hebrew Thamuz (Hebrew ‫תםוז‬ {Hebrew TMWZ}). I would rather say that the word was originally Egyptian, and made Hebrew by the addition of the formative ‫ת‬ {Hebrew T})…” And so was an Egyptian name for Azazel, namely Ammuz, transformed into Tammuz by the addition of the symbol for Azazel, namely, the tau cross (rendered in Greek as a T; in the Phoenician alphabet, the Greek ‘T’ takes the form of another enigmatic symbol of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, the quartered circle/‘x’ within a circle, pronounced ‘tet’ and meaning ‘wheel,’ a Biblical name for a cherub). It must be noted The Dionysian Articifers (circa. 1820 A.D.) is an essay written by an eminent Brazilian Freemason. The Greek Dionysiacs as they were also called was an association of architects and engineers, followers of the god Dionysius (also known as Bacchus) and builders of temples, theatres and stadia, an early society of Freemasons. As earlier noted, in Freemasonry the tau cross, the symbol of Azazel, is represented by the T-square. (Notable quote: “The TAU [the sign of Azazel] is the central figure of the Theosophical Seal [employed by the Theosophical Society] and the heart of its message.” - The Theosophical Seal by Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.) (The Thames River in England is named after Thamuz/Azazel: “The Thames through Oxford is often given the name the River Isis, although historically, and especially in Victorian times, gazetteers and cartographers insisted that the entire river was correctly named the River Isis from its source until Dorchester-on-Thames. Only at this point, where the river meets the River Thame and becomes the “Thame-isis” (subsequently abbreviated to Thames) should it be so-called; Ordnance Survey maps still label the Thames as “River Thames or Isis” until Dorchester.” – Wikipedia: River Thames. Isis, it must be remembered, is an Egyptian name for Azazel’s human wife) (The Hammer of the god Thor, who represented Azazel, in form resembles and represents a tau cross (T), the sign of Azazel)

The Rose Window (the rosette window) on the façade of the Rosslyn Chapel (aka the Collegiate Chapel of St Matthew) located at the village of Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland, employs such rose cross symbolism in its architechural design. This is a symbol of the future release of the angel Azazel. Other architectural features of Rosslyn 466

Chapel include over 110 ‘Green Man’ carvings. The Green Man represents the angel Azazel (the Egyptian god Osiris, a god who represented Azazel/Behemoth, was depicted with green skin). Ancient Sumerian depictions of Azazel show him wearing rosette bracelets (which would account for the rose being used as a symbol of Azazel).

It must be noted the Rosslyn Chapel was erected by 15th Century Masons acting under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church.

Ceremonial magician A.E. Waite and one-time Chief of the Druid Order in England Godfrey Higgins believed that the secret to forming the Philosopher’s Stone with the aid of dew was the secret concealed in the Rosicrucian name. One interpretation of the Rose Cross is that the rose represents the dew in an alchemical process, as Rosi Crucis translates as ‘dew cup.’ The following scripture esoterically refer to regeneration as it refers to the Resurrection. Note the use of the rose motif to symbolize regeneration (Franz Hartmann has stated “the greatest of all magical feats” is “the spiritual regeneration of man.” See the Preface to Third Edition of Magic, White and Black). Flowers are often used as symbols to represent the human body: “…your body is the garden of flowers.” - The Songs of Kabir “Listen to me, you holy sons, and bud like a rose which grows by a watercourse; exhale fragrance like a frankincense tree, and blossom like a lily. Give forth an odor and sing a song, bless the Lord (God) for all His works.” - The Wisdom of Sirach 39:13-14 “How glorious he was…Like roses in the days of first fruits, like lilies by a spring of water, like a sprig of frankincense, on summer days, like fire and incense in the censer…” - The Wisdom of Sirach 50:8,9 “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.” -

Song of Songs 2:1

(KJV) (Lilys of the valley are hexagonal in shape)

The rose and the cross of the Rosicrucians also symbolize regeneration. To Rosicrucians, the rosy cross can represent the formula for the Universal Medicine, the panacea for all forms of disease. In addition to the Rosicrucians, the Rose/Cross motif is shared by the Masons (as evidenced by The Scottish Rite ‘18th degree 467

Knight of the Rose Cross’). To the Masons the rose/cross was in one respect the symbol of regeneration: “The rose is the ancient emblem of spring. Upon the cross it signifies…man regenerated” (Ancient Masonry C.C. Zain 1994 p. 249). It must be noted a five-petaled rose is used to represent a pentagram, while a six-petaled rose represented a hexagram. The cross is an esoteric symbol for a transverse electromagnetic wave; a hexagram represents a standing wave (See The Knowledge of Wisdom by John of the Gentiles).

The Rose/Cross motif is also a symbol of (as evidenced by the Rosy Cross lamen of) the magic group known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. These organizations are all associated and the use of shared motifs, vis a vis, evidence these organization’s shared beliefs, as well as their shared associations. Members of one such order are often members of similar orders. These organizations are cell-like and dynamic, and like the hydra of old, they have many heads working towards the same final goal, so the loss of one does not result in the destruction of all, while others will spring up in its stead. The beast lives on to fight another day.

The ancient Roman practice of adorning with roses the door of a room in which confidential matters were discussed gave birth to the phrase “sub rosa,” which translates as “under the rose,” meaning, “to keep a secret” (Notable quote: “…brought from ancient Egypt, is the Cross upon the Rose — Cross, symbol of life, Rose, symbol of matter and symbol of secrecy as well.” – The Brotherhood of Religions by Annie Besant Adyar Pamphlets No.24). These were secret meetings of secret societies discussing secret matters. The Romans called the rose the ‘Flower of Venus.’ The goddess Venus represented the angel Azazel’s human wife.

King Arthur and his Round Table used Rosicrucian motifs, or, rather, vice versa. The rose/cross symbol was said to be drawn upon the Round Table used by Arthur and his Knights (the Tree of Life is also a common symbol amongst Medieval knightly themes).

Arthur’s/Azazel’s Round Table represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. The red cross was also associated with the Holy Grail which in the Arthurian legends was the Christianized symbolic version of the long sought after cherub of Azazel (Behemoth). A rose is also the central motif for the links of the chain upon which the “Great George” is suspended amongst the jewels of the Order of the Garter.

468

The symbol of the Knights of the Garter is a red cross on a white shield. Both were/are Masonic organizations. One symbol of the Knights Templar was the red cross on a white background, also by design symbolic of Azazel’s cherub (the rose/cross combination was also the badge [talisman/magic charm] of the Knights Templar group).

The tradition continues today with the Red Cross organization. It must be mentioned many of the gods which represented Azazel were gods associated with healing. The Sumerians worshipped Azazel as Ninazu (nin means ‘lord’), the god of healing and of the underworld.

The Romans knew him as Aesculapius, the god of medicine, and he was known to be as well the Greek and Phoenician god of healing.

The red cross which represents the god-angel of healing Azazel is for this reason used as a symbol of the medical organization known as the International Federation of the Red Cross, most commonly known as the Red Cross. (Notable quote: “Many of the magical charms and spells were for the healing of the sick or for the prevention of disease...Many charms and spells surviving to the present day contain the names of pre-Christian gods (all representing the angel Azazel).

These spells are usually connected with cures for diseases in human beings and animals” - p.75 The God of the Witches by Margaret Alice Murray, D.Lit., “Fellow of University College, London,” 1933 A.D. ) Aesculapius (Azazel) was the Roman god of medicine as well as the Greek and Phoenician god of healing. He was often depicted wielding what is known as the Staff of Aesculapius. Various medical organizations adopted the Staff of Aesculapius as its medical insignia, the staff itself consisting of an axial rod with a single winged serpent entwined about it. The U.S. Army Medical Corp has the Staff of Aesculapius as its insignia. The winged staff/serpent symbolism was also employed in the symbol of the Caduceus of Hermes. Enki’s emblem (Enki who also represented Azazel) was two entwined serpents and was the symbol of his ‘cult center’ at Eridu, same as that of the medical profession. This symbolism is also reminiscent of the Sumerian underworld god of healing, Ningishzida (Nin- means ‘divinity’/lord), whose symbol was two snakes entwined around a central axial rod (the Rod of Ningishzida is the symbol of the great guild of physicians in England) (It must be noted one of the many Egyptian titles for Azazel was “the two-headed serpent” (See the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXXI)). The satyrs themselves carried a similar instrument known as a thyrsus, also known as the rod of Dionysus, a stick wound round with ivy and tipped with a pine 469

cone. The Sidonian god of healing, Eshmun, was also depicted holding a serpent entwined staff in his right hand. All of these healing ‘gods’ represented the angel Azazel who holds the title of Chief Physician. In fact, Azazel was what was known as a ‘rapha,’ a surgeon, a member of the medical profession (compare ‘rapha’ to the cognate ‘pharma,’ thre root of the words ‘pharmacy’ and ‘pharmaceutical’). The Book of Enoch lists medical practices (including abortion; an abortion is considered to be a sacrifice to the god Molech [who is Azazel]. See p.23 Blood on the Altar) as being amongst the secrets which were revealed to mankind by Azazel and his group of fallen angels. Many early doctors were students of the occult, as many folk cures can be found amongst the folklore of many diverse civilizations. Magic practicing cunning folk often employed herbal medications, as did the Shamanistic medicine men. Many drugs today are herbal based.

The fact that the cross (X) is linked with Azazel, who is oft confused by some as being the devil Satan himself, is the reason the horned devil, who in reality represents the ‘horned god’ Azazel, is associated with crossroads. In fact many Egyptian mummies are laid to rest with arms crossed in the sign of ‘Osiris Risen,’ the crossed arm symbol of Azazel being depicted on numerous Egyptian statues and reliefs (most notably depictions of the god Osiris/Azazel himself) (a man sitting cross-legged may also be thusly interpreted. For example: “The Indian figures of the Horned God (who is Azazel), found at Mohenjo-Daro, are of the earliest Bronzeage…The most remarkable is that of a man with bull’s horns on his head, sitting cross-legged…This representation was regarded in historic times as a form of Shiva (who represents Azazel) and is called Pasupati, ‘Lord of animals’ (a shepherd of sorts. Azazel is often depicted as a shepherd god).” – p.11 The God of the Witches by Margaret Alice Murray, 1933 A.D.). As we learn from British witch/author Nigel Jackson in Chapter VI Masks of Misrule pp.93 & 99, the Horned One, the Horned God of the Witches (Azazel), was represented by a “skull resting on crossed thighbones.” Two crossed swords in the form of an ‘X’ is a symbol of the Roman god of war Mars who likewise represented the angel Azazel, as is the ‘skull and crossbones’ insignia said to have been originally flown on Knights Templars ships, though being more famously flown on English privateer pirate ships of British persuasion (these being known collectively as ‘Jolly Roger’ flags). Interestingly enough, this symbol for Azazel, namely the ‘skull and crossbone,’ is a design used in the logo of Yale University’s Skull and Bones secret society, of which exRepublican-presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush were prominent members (the Skull and Bones secret society mimics the experience of the angels who are entrapped within the earth when they bury new initiates in a coffin and later unearth them). The eminent British knight/astronomer/astrologer/sorcerer Sir Isaac Newton esoterically pledges his allegiance to the fallen angel Azazel through his employment of a crossed-bones (X) motif sans skull in his personal coat-of-arms.

470

The swastika is also a variant form of the sign representing the angel Azazel.

The swastika employed by German Nazis, Neo-Nazi Aryan groups and the Theosophical Society itself is but the Indian/Hindu form of the sign representing Azazel (X). It must be noted the swastika, the Hindu sigil of Azazel, is the letter ‘G’ in the Ancient Northern European/Anglo-Saxon Runic script known as ‘Futhorc’/’Futhark’ (the Armanen ‘Futharkh’ of Guido Von List, also known as the Norse rune ‘gifu,’ which is rendered as a simple ‘X,’). This is the esoteric reason for the inclusion of the ‘G’ within the Freemasonic ‘Square and Compass’ standard. The swastika, it must also be noted, is called the ‘Hammer of Creation,’ and in Teutonic legends, the swastika is known as ‘Thor’s Hammer,’ as Arthur M. Coon is nice enough to point out in explanation of the significance of the swastika’s inclusion in the seal of the most reverent Theosophical Society (See The Theosophical Seal by Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.), Thor of course representing the fallen angel Azazel. The hammer then is likewise a symbol of the blacksmithing god Azazel, who taught mankind the art of metalworking. He has placed his mark upon it)

The Roman emperor Constantine the Great (c. 285-337 A.D.), who made Christianity the official religion of Rome, of “In this sign, conquer” fame, conquered under the sign of Azazel (as did the ancients Egyptians, the Spanish Conquistadores, England and later Hitler also similarly conquer under the sign of Azazel) when he emblazoned the red cross on white background insignia on the shields of his conquering legions (See also the Labarum [Chi-Rho symbol] of Constantine which incorporates the sign of “Osiris risen,” namely, the ‘X’ within its construction. The significance of the ‘P’ in the Chi-Rho [X-P] symbol is that ‘P’ is the 16th letter of the alphabet signifying Azazel’s release/“Osiris Risen” in 2016 A.D. The Chi-Rho symbol was also employed by the Merovingians. The Greek Chi (X) symbol is often used to abbreviate the word ‘christ,’ as when ‘X-mas’ is employed as an abbreviation of ‘Christmas,’ thereby literally taking Christ out of Christmas. Somehow wishing someone a “Merry Osiris Risen” on December 25th just doesn’t pack the same jolly holiday punch). The Knights Templars (c. 12th - 13th Centuries) likewise employed a red cross on white field motif, as did their Crusading contemporaries the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem who ran a hospital there in Jerusalem in what is now modern day Israel (Notable quote: “From the descendants of the Magi, the Sufis, the mystics amongst the Mahometans derived their knowledge of astrology, medicine, and of esoteric doctrines. In 1118 the order of the Temple (the Knights Templars) was founded, nominally for the protection of pilgrims, but really for the restoration of the primitive 471

mysteries.” – The Masters of Wisdom by E. Adams, 1890 A.D.) (The Germanic Teutonic Knights also employed the Red Cross of Azazel as its sigil).

Today the Hospitallers are headquartered in Rome, as is the Vatican, and the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitallers group is considered the world’s highest-ranking Catholic lay person.

The modern contemporary of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem is the medical organization known as the International Organization of the Red Cross which likewise employs a red cross on white background insignia, this being the sign of Azazel. The British Red Cross Society works closely with a group called the St. John Ambulance Association, named after the leader of the Knights Hospitallers, St. John of Jerusalem. The red cross, also known as St. George’s Cross, is the English national emblem, with the British national flag incorporating a red cross on a white background motif within its design, as well as the esoteric ‘X’ sign of Azazel (however, the Flag of England is simply a red cross on white background!): “The Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom) is a combination of the military ensigns of St. George's Cross for England, St. Andrew's Cross for Scotland, and St. Patrick's Cross for Ireland.” – p. 36 Manners, Customs, and Observances: Their Origin and Significance by Leopold Wagner (1894 A.D.). All of these sigils are representative of Azazel (as are the ‘saints’ with whom these crosses are associated). Consider also the May-pole, one of the central motifs of May Day celebrations in England: “In olden times nearly every village had its May-pole, around which, decorated with wreaths of flowers, ribbons, and flags, our merry ancestors danced from morning till night. The earliest representation of an English Maypole is that published in the Variorum “Shakespeare”…The pole is planted in a mound of earth (planted in the earth, representing Azazel’s encapsulation within the earth), and has affixed to it St. George’s redcross banner (also known as the “Colours of Saint George,” the red cross being the sign of Azazel)…” - Folk-lore of Shakespeare Chapter XI (T.F. Thiselton Dyer, 1883 A.D.).

All of these motifs represent and honor the angel Azazel whose sign was the redcross on white background.

(Of an interesting added note, the American Eagle such as that depicted on the back of the dollar bill [a decidedly Masonic emblem] is often pictured with its wings unfurled and its legs outstretched forming an esoteric ‘X’ the sign of Azazel [its left claw, signifying the 472

sinister ‘left-hand path’ of black magic, clutches divining arrows!].

The eagle is the bird of Jove/Jupiter, who is Azazel, and Azazel (the Genesis serpent), it must be remembered, habitually dressed in bird costumes and was often symbolized by a bird. Indeed: “In Elamitic religious art the eagle is brought into connexion with the serpent…” Tammuz and Ishtar by S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D.

Both are symbols of Azazel) “The Knights of Pythias is a fraternal organization and secret-society founded at Washington, D.C., on 19 February 1864.” – Wikipedia: The Knights of Pythias. Famous Pythian Knights include former U.S. Presidents Warren G. Harding (Oddfellow), William McKinley (Oddfellow) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (Oddfellow), ex-U.S. Vice-Presidents Hubert Horatio Humphrey and Nelson A. Rockefeller, as well as U.S. Senators William Jennings Bryan (Oddfellow), Robert Byrd (Oddfellow) and Charles “Chuck” Schumer, including U.S. Supreme Court Justices Hugo Black (Oddfellow), Benjamin Cardozo, as well as Bob Jones, Sr., prominent Evangelist leader and founder of Bob Jones University. The Knights of Pythias logo employs a crossed axe (double axe in the form of an X) logo which includes arms and armor (it was Azazel who introduced the armorial arts to humans), as well as a lion (another sign of Azazel). All of these emblems are esoteric symbols of the false prophet Azazel. The Knights of Pythias (read: the Knights of Azazel, Pythias being a cognate of Python/Typhon) are still in existence today. Charles Schumer is the senior United States Senator from New York State, born in Brooklyn, N.Y. to a Jewish immigrant family. (Interesting Note: “…Horus [Azazel] was also called Horus-Behutet, or ‘the Great Blacksmith,’ and was symbolized by the axe or the hammer.” – The Origin and Evolution of Freemasonry by Albert Churchward, 1920 A.D.. It was Azazel, it must be noted, who taught manking the blacksmith’s art. In Egyptian hieroglyphs a ‘neter’ [a god] was symbolized by an axe) Another symbol of Azazel is the Watchtower, as it is from such an exalted edifice the Greek god Bacchus (who represented Azazel) was said to watch over the grape vines from which he made his wine. See also the Greek Magical Papyrus [PDM xiv.554-62] which states: “…the Temple of Osiris (Behemoth/Azazel), my Watch-Tower.” As we learn from the early church father Athenagoras: “‘Osiris is named Dionysos by the Greeks.’ And Bacchus is but another name for Dionysos. I will do for you according to the Voice of Isis, the Magician, the Lady of Magic, who Bewitches everything, who is Never Bewitched in her Name of Isis, the Magician.” Azazel is also associated with the Tower of Babel beneath which he lays entrapped (See Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles). Azazel (as Horus) is also represented as a ‘point within a circle.’

The death of St. George, the patron saint of England, is depicted on St. George’s Collegiate Church in Tübingen (erected no doubt by Freemasons). Note the eightpoint compass rose (x superimposed upon +), a symbol of Azazel (as well as the point within the circle). The rose is also a symbol of Azazel, hence the association of the “rose” with that of the eight-points of the compass. It is likely St. George represented Azazel. Many pagan gods were made into saints to ease their worshiper’s conversion to Christianity (the following selection is exemplary of this notion: “The Roman Church adopted the Angels and Archangels of the Celestial Allegory as its Saints, including Saint Bacchus (Bacchus represented the angel Azazel) and Saint Satan in place of Guardian Spirits that were once human beings (read: angels incarnate).” - Gnostic and Historic Christianity (Gerald Massey)). Note Azazel’s sign (x) in the form of an

equilateral cross in the decorative motif to the north of ‘St. George.’

Concedes C.F. Oldham (Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society in London), in a book devoted to the history of serpent worship as universally encountered in nearly every ancient religion, entitled The Sun and the Serpent: “The legend of St. George and the Dragon, although it assumed its present shape in Christian times, was probably founded upon an older story.” The story concerns, of course, the fallen angel Azazel. Indeed, one astrological symbol of the stately planet named in honor of the Horned-God Saturn who represented Azazel was such a mounted horseman with lance (See Astrology, p.61, Louis MacNeice, 1964 A.D.); no doubt this symbol was also a symbol of Azazel. As we learn from Wikipedia: “The Most Noble Order of the Garter is the highest order of chivalry, or knighthood, existing in England, founded in 1348. The Order is dedicated to the image and arms of St. George (who represented Azazel) as England's patron saint.” Gerald B. Gardner explains the establishment of the Order of the Garter was in this way: “It is said that King Edward III saved one witch from certain torture at that famous incident to which the origin of the Order of the Garter was

474

ascribed. He was dancing with the Countess of Salisbury (she was a high priestess in a witches coven) when she dropped the ritual Garter (as Gardner explains: “the garter is a badge of rank among witches”) which proclaimed her high rank in the cult. With Bishops about this was dangerous, so the King, knowing what it was (it being the witches symbol denoting ones rank as high-priestess in a witches coven), picked it up and put it on his own leg, saying: 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' (which translates as: "shame upon him who thinks evil upon it")…The King's quickness saved the situation (as the Bishops would have tortured her and burnt her at the stake, the penalty for being a witch) and placed him almost in the position of their incarnate god in the eyes of his more pagan subjects. This was followed by the foundation of an Order of twelve Knights for the King and twelve for the Prince of Wales, i.e. twenty-six members in all, or two (witches) covens” - Witchcraft Today, 1954 A.D. Gardner therein poses the following question: “In this connection, can anyone tell me exactly what is the meaning of the double SS on the collar of the Garter?” SRIA member Hargrave Jennings provides the answer in The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries (p. 119): “the British golden collar of “S.S.” (worn on the collar of a Knight of the Order of the Garter) which is worn as a relic of the oldest day (in perpetuation of a mythos long ago buried (a nod to the fact that Azazel is currently interred within the earth)…and forgotten in the dust of ages) by some of our (British) officials, courtly and otherwise…belongs to no known order of knighthood, but only to the very highest order of knighthood, the Magian, or to Magic.” It is the sign of Azazel, the god of magic, the horned-god of the witches, the original Mage himself. (One such example of an Order of the Garter ceremonial magician is the Wizard Earl Henry Percy (1564 – 1632 A.D.).

Percy prospered under Elizabeth I but was relegated to the Tower of London by the pious James I) The following red-cross on white background is the symbol of the Order of the Garter (note also the quartered-circle design):

Azazel has left his mark the world over!

Appendix B All high-degree Freemasonic magic groups invoke the rebellious fallen angels, including the angels Satan and Azazel. No wonder membership in the fraternal organizations of Freemasonry is condemned by the Roman Catholic Church with membership in such an organization being considered a “grave” and mortal sin. As a matter of fact, the Catholic Church considers Freemasonry to be a conspiratorial organization hostile to the Church and its doctrines.

Pope Leo, in his Encyclical Letter dated April 20, 1884 A.D., Humanus Genus (On Freemasonry), describes Freemasonry and Freemasonic Organizations as being a “foul plague,” and that people should “tear the mask from Freemasonry…to let it be seen as it really is,” and “as our predecessors have many times repeated, let no man think that he may for any reason whatsoever join the Masonic sect…as the whole principle and object of the sect lies in what is vicious and criminal, to join with these men or in any way to help them cannot be lawful,” and that ones association in such a group is regarded by the Church as being a “grave sin,” in that “these evil sects, in which is revived the contumacious (rebellious) spirit of the demon…Satan…together with his unsubdued perfidy (deliberate treachery) and deceit.” The letter states that “at this period, the partisans of evil (the divided magic-practicing groups of the different nations of the world) seem to be combining together (into a magic confederacy of sorts), and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons…that this Apostolic See denounced the sect of the Freemasons, and publicly declared its constitution, as contrary to law and right, to be pernicious no less to Christendom than to the State,” and “that it is against the Church that the rage and the attack of the enemies are principally directed.” It also states that “its (Freemasonry’s) ultimate purpose…(is) the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced (read: the Old World Order), and the substitution of a new state of things (read: a New World Order) in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism,” and that “the fundamental doctrine of the naturalists…is that the human nature and human reason ought in all things to be mistress and guide,” that “they 476

(Freemason’s) deny that anything has been taught by God.” It is the Church’s belief “their ultimate purpose” is “the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things (a New World Order) in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.” The Church says “they (Freemasons)…teach the great error of this age— that a regard for religion should be held as an indifferent matter, and that all religions are alike.” He speaks of course of the teachings of the Theosophical Society.

As an affirmation to past denunciations of Freemasonry by the Roman Catholic Church, including condemnations by at least nine different popes in seventeen different pronouncements, and at no less than six Church councils, in the “Declaration on Masonic Associations,” signed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (who is now the current pope) with the approval of Pope John Paul II and dated November 26, 1983 A.D., states that “the Church’s negative judgment in regard to Masonic organizations remains unchanged, since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church, and, therefore, membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful, who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin…” Indeed, speaking out against the supposed infallibility of the popes as set forth by the Doctrine of Papal Infallibility, eminent Freemason Albert Pike states: “No man (or body of men can be infallible, and authorized to decide what other men shall believe, as to any tenet of faith.” (See Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.)). (On June 30, 1990 A.D. at Catholic University, in Washington, D.C., Father Robert J. Bradley stated: “Masonry is Secular Humanism incarnate. Masonry is also Satanism incarnate.”)

The Roman Catholic Church’s condemnation of Freemasonry is not unique in the annals of Christian history. Several Protestant churches, organizations and Christian ministries such as the Church of England and the Southern Baptist convention also reject various Freemasonic teachings as incompatible to the doctrines of Christianity.

The Roman Catholic Church has warred against those Masonic organizations at odds with itself from the beginning, the most notable group being the Knights Templars of the 13th Century A.D. We must 477

not forget, America was founded by a group of persecuted pilgrims, victimized by a Roman Catholic Church which allowed no variance from their stated beliefs. America was from the beginning peopled by enemies of the Roman Catholic Church. America became a Mecca for those persecuted for religious reasons, the vast majority victims of the Roman Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Inquisition established to combat the growth of Protestantism and magic practices.

Amongst this population were many Freemasons (indeed, 50 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were known Freemasons).

Freemasons became affluent and influential, thriving in early America and throughout its generations up until today, at such time as their authority has reached its peak, a power unsurpassed in all the annals of the world, while during this same period the Roman Catholic Church has seen its supremacy increasingly wane. Is it any surprise their Freemasonic descendants should be bent on the Church’s destruction?

Many current Freemasons unknowingly (and some knowingly) do the bidding of Satan and Azazel. The Skull and Bones (which derives its name from the flag flown by ships of the Knights Templar group which sought the overthrow of the power of the Roman Catholic Church, an organization which the champions of the Church itself later destroyed), an organization of which many prominent American politicians of today enjoy membership, including ex-American President George W. Bush, is a Masonic organization, a secret-society in the grand old tradition. Many prominent American politicians throughout the history of the United States (including crucial members of our Founding Fathers, George Washington included; many of America’s Founding Fathers were in effect transplanted English Freemasons of the very highest-order) are or have been Freemasons, including ex-President George H. W. Bush (George H. W. Bush has received an honorary knighthood by the British Government as Knight Commander Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath which was awarded to him in 1993 A.D.), who once proudly announced the establishment of the Freemasonic New World Order, the ultimate goal mentioned in the quasi-Masonic Rosicrucian Fama Fraternitis (as opposed to the Old Word Order headed by the Roman Catholic Church). The number of Freemasons in the United States today numbers in the millions; many are oblivious to their complicity with fallen angels. Others have willingly joined them in their rebellion against God. 478

Appendix C Ancient Descriptions of the Cherubim In the sacred text of the Babylonians, The Seven Evil Spirits (the Maskim), we find descriptions of the cherubim of the angels. They are called: “Raging storm, evil gods are they, ruthless demons, who in heaven’s vault (in the Majestic Glory) were created, are they (the cherubim). Workers of evil are they, they lift up the head to evil, every day to evil destruction to work.”

The seven cherubim of which they speak are identified as being “messengers,” the very definition of the word ‘angels.’ The cherubim are also in this work analogized by the Babylonians as “horses,” a common symbol for the cherubim in The Bible. The cherubim in The Seven Evil Spirits are described as “A hurricane (which spins), which mightily hunts in the heavens, are they, thick clouds, that bring darkness in heaven…gusts of wind rising, which cast gloom over the bright day, with the Imkhullu the evil wind, forcing their way…mighty destroyers, are they…In the height of heaven, like lightning flashing…to wreak destruction forward go they, in the broad heaven…evilly do they arise, and none to oppose…From the heaven (from the Majestic Glory), like a wind, over the land they (the cherubim) rush…The seven evil gods, death-dealing, fearless are they, the seven evil gods, like a flood, rush on, the land they fall upon, do they, against the land, like a storm, they rise…Neither male nor female are they. Destructive whirlwinds are they (the seven cherubim).”

These Babylonian descriptions have Biblical parallels because they all describe the same objects, the cherubim. The seven evil spirits are the seven cherubim of the seven angels who stand in the presence of God (the seven spirits of God). Or at least they did before Satan’s rebellion.

The cherubim, who wrought destructive judgments from God upon them, were considered evil gods by the erring Babylonians who in rituals involving fornication worshipped the rebellious fallen angel Azazel, known to Babylonians as the god Tammuz, and Azazel’s human wife, known as the goddess Ishtar, worshipping the angels and their human wives as gods and goddesses. Satan also continuously contested the Babylonian’s worthiness as members of mankind to supplant the angels as heirs to God’s promised kingdom in the angels’ stead. As related in the Biblical Book of Job, Job was from Babylon and he suffered from the very same treatment (See Job 1:6-22 through Job 2:1-8), being in a like way detrimentally and destructively tested by Satan as related in the Book of Job (the following is exemplary: “The fire of God is fallen from heaven (originating from Satan’s cherub), and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them…” - Job 1:16 (KJV)). It must also be noted that both the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel experienced their cherubic visitations as residents of Babylon, though these were of the angels who were loyal to God. In the Mithraic literary work (Mithraism was popular amongst the legioners of the Roman army) known as “The Great Magical Papyrus of Paris” a cherub is described as a “Heavenly Wheel” which would “hurl thunder and thunderbolts, earthquakes and lightning against the race of the impious.” From the judgmental destruction these cherubim meted out comes the Roman conception of the Wheel of 479

Fortune. The Wheel of Fortune (Rota Fortunae), or more specifically, the Wheel of the Roman goddess Fortuna (her Greek counterpart is Tyche. They are both one and the same. Fortuna is mentioned in Isaiah 65:11), esoterically represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, within which Azazel and his human wife are entrapped within the earth. Fortuna was one of the many names by which the human wife of the incarnate angel Azazel was known. That the Wheel of Fortune represents a cherub is evidenced by the esoteric teachings of the Tenth Major Arcana of the Egyptian Tarot (The Tarot is alternatively known as The Book of Thoth. Thoth is an Egyptian name for Azazel) where the Wheel of Fortune is therein associated with the four faces of a cherub, namely, the man, the lion, the eagle and the ox. The “living creatures,” which is to say, the cherubim described in Ezekiel 1:10-11 are also similarly adorned, each having upon them four divisions of “four faces.” The Wheel of Fortune of the Tarot is similarly depicted with four such divisions. Both examples represent a cherub.

The Mithraic literary work known as “The Great Magical Papyrus of Paris” invokes Azazel/Behemoth as “the great Sun God Mithras” and his human wife under the name ‘Fortune’ (Fortune being the translation from the Greek of pronoia kai tyche, ‘pronoia’ being a known epithet of the goddess Athena who represented the human wife of the angel Azazel, and Tyche being the name of the goddess whose Roman equivalent was Fortuna, both goddesses likewise representing the angel Azazel’s human wife. The Wheel of Fortune represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. This magical work speaks of Behemoth when it speaks of the “Heavenly Wheel” (which like Ezekiel’s description of the cherubim as being “whirling wheels” (See Ezekiel 10:6,13), it being disk-shaped, and that this “Heavenly Wheel” was said to “turn” (spin) on its “Axis”).

Descriptions of the Wheel of Fortune, memorialized in Shakespeare’s Henry V as “Fortune’s wildly spinning wheel,” and described in the Burana Codex in a poem called “Fortune, the Empress of the World” as being a “malevolent” “whirling wheel” echo the Book of Ezekiel in its description of the cherubim as being “whirling wheels” (See Ezekiel 10:13). The word ‘Fortuna’ is derived from the Latin word ‘vortumna,’ meaning ‘turner,’ or that which ‘turns/revolves.’ It was believed by the Romans that the fickle Fortuna decided one’s fate (the secret Yale society of the Skull and Bones employs a similar concept when it spins a wheel of fortune when deciding a participants’ fate—whether one is to become a Senator, a President, etc. Members, hailing from rich influential families then work to make it so. George W. Bush was such an initiate before he was the Decider, which in itself explains so very much). The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXIX equates fate/fortune with Osiris/Behemoth: “I am fate and Osiris.”

Indeed, as we learn from Wikipedia, the word: “sorcery was taken in ca. 1300 from Old French sorcerie, which is from Vulgar Latin *sortiarius, from sors "fate", apparently meaning "one who influences fate."” In Egypt, Azazel was alternately known as Tahuti, who was also known as Thoth (cognate with Tahuti), the god of magic. A sorcerer is a practitioner of magic. Azazel was a determiner of fates, a sorcerer, a god of magic (compare the prefix Du- of the words Dudael/Duidain (where the god of magic Azazel was said to be entrapped within the earth) to Du’a, an Islamic word which means ‘to call/to summon.’ In magic parlance this denotes an invocation. Practitioners of magic invoke the fallen angels. Related to this is the word Druid (compare to Duidain), well known practitioners of magic who summoned the fallen angels during their magic

480

invocations, sometimes in groves, other times at henges).

In the Babylonian work, Lugalbanda in the Mountain Cave, we also are provided with eyewitness accounts of a description of a cherub. It describes “a storm” (a cherub) whose “good bright metal, stepped down from heaven to the great earth (it descended and landed on the ground). His head (the top of the cherub) shines with brilliance, the barbed arrows flash past him like lightning…” It also goes on to describe a sight witnessed by a group of “young men,” who saw what they described as a “shield (a dome-shaped cherub) standing on the ground,” “resting among the cypresses,” in a grove, or forest, which began “rising up from the horizon” and which “extended his holy, shining rays down from heaven.” It goes on to describe the cherub’s illuminating “brilliance,” and how it “hovered” in the sky nearby. Concealing itself amongst the cypress trees by definition marks its pilot as an angel of the forest. A shield is sometimes used to symbolize a cherub.

For greater in-depth details, as well as a study of Biblical descriptions of the cherubim of the angels, see Evildoer Added to Evildoer: The Story of Satan, Azazel and the Rebellious Angels by John of the Gentiles.

Appendix F The following is exemplary of a typical Illuminati operation: “…a formal and systematic conspiracy against Religion was formed and zealously prosecuted

by Voltaire, d'Alembert, and Diderot, assisted by Frederic II King of Prussia; and I see that their principles and their manner of procedure have been the same with those of the German atheists and anarchists (Illumiati sponsored groups). Like them they hired an Army of Writers; they industriously pushed their writings into every house and every cottage. Those writings were equally calculated for inflaming the sensual appetites of men, and for perverting their judgments. They endeavoured to get the command of the Schools, particularly those for the lower classes; and they erected and managed a prodigious number of Circulating Libraries and Reading Societies. M. Barruel says, that this gang of public corruptors have held their meetings for many years in the Hotel de Holbach at Paris, and that Voltaire was their honorary President. The most eminent members were d'Alemherty Diderot, Condorcet, La Harpe, Turgot, Lamoignon. (For a front) They took the name of Economists, and affected to be continually occupied with plans for improving Commerce, Manufactures, Agriculture, Finance, &c. (pretending to be a benevolent society) and published from time to time respectable performances on those subjects—but their darling project was to destroy Christianity and all Religion, and to bring about a total change of Government. They employed writers to compose corrupting and impious books—these were revised by the Society, and corrected till they suited their purpose. A number were printed in a handsome manner, to defray the expense, and then a much greater number were printed in the cheapest form possible, and given for nothing, or at very low prices, to hawkers and peddlers (booksellers), with injunctions to distribute them secretly through the cities and villages. They even hired persons to read them to conventicles of those who had not learned to read (in the later Beatnik’s case they read there books at poetry readings).” – Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D p.382, 383
