INTRODUCTION
Small sticky café tables are not the best
places to sit reading the voluminous works of
Astro-Theologist Gerald Massey. It is difficult to open,
prop up, and read oversized tomes in such congested
areas, particularly when over-worked waitresses want to
plonk down your coffee and fries right on top of the
pages. It’s difficult to read a chapter of an
enlightened genius’ work when frowning staff, gregarious
drunks, or incessant noise compel you to finish, pay up,
and get about your business. Such are the difficulties
experienced while in the zealous pursuit of knowledge.
However, we readily admit that the savant
Gerald Massey experienced considerably greater hardships
during his remarkable life. Considering his years of
servitude, we wonder he wrote anything at all. However,
since he did write, and since our intellectual and
spiritual life has been dramatically improved due to his
efforts, we can only humbly pause to extend to our peer
sincere and solemn gratitude. We can only endeavor to
present selected excerpts from his masterworks so that
our own readers might be as inspired and illumined as we
ourselves have been.
An appreciative reader surmised it was
quite impossible to categorize Gerald Massey’s
extraordinary life under a single heading. And indeed,
what could one say of the man? What dare one say?
How should such a Servant of Truth be presented before
the world he worked so assiduously to improve? Should he
be accoladed as a poet, an adroit Shakespearean critic,
or as history’s greatest Egyptologist? All would be
proper and respectful honors for a man who, as an
illiterate child-laborer, slaved in the silk factories
of Victorian Hertfordshire.
The few vinegar and coffee stains upon
his books are not lamented. We regard them as an art
critic regards the cracks upon a Rembrandt canvas. They
remind me of the days when Hermes himself paid a visit
and when secret realms were opened. They remind me of
the unique “weight” that comes with insight and
knowledge. They remind me how much modern men owe the
few erudite geniuses of the past. They remind me to
never permit their graves to lie forgotten and
unattended.
Massey’s protégé, the American scholar
Alvin Boyd Kuhn, lamented mankind’s penchant for
historical amnesia. He lamented how men do so often
forget the contributions of the Servants of Truth who,
like Nietzsche’s supermen, labored to found, create, and
build, rather than simply copy, invent, and neglect.
Kuhn recorded his mentor’s fears not only for the future
of his works, but also for the future of mankind:
His fearsome apprehensions have been more
than fulfilled. For its own very life the entrenched
ecclesiastical system had to let his books relapse into
desuetude. Yet, as affairs stand in the world today, the
only chance for the survival of sane religion may be
contingent upon their renaissance.
Kuhn’s words could not be more true. The
future of Christianity and of mankind does indeed depend
upon the revelations of men such as Gerald Massey and,
for that matter, of Kuhn and the other master scholars
whose discoveries we present in this book. It is
self-evident to us that in the place where the words and
acts of the Servants of Truth live, sorcery
cannot thrive. In the house of Faberge the forger's
career is short. In the house of Rodin the faker is soon
jobless. In the house of Aristotle the mythmonger is
soon starved.
We first heard the name Gerald Massey,
and the term Astro-Theology, during the summer of 1980.
A mentor had written the savant's name down on a scrap
of paper that was carried back from San Francisco to
Belfast, Ireland. However, as a penniless fifteen year
old, we found it hard to procure anything by the author.
No one we spoke with had heard the name and snobbish
librarians proved distracted and dismissive. As for
Belfast’s illustrious bookshop owners, well that is a
story best left untold. In any case, that little scrap
of paper with a faded name was not discarded. We knew it
contained a name that must on no account be forgotten.
The ages of Punk, New Wave, and Glam Metal passed.
Twelve years after first hearing the name of Gerald
Massey we returned to California and finally got
our hands on Book of Beginnings. Mothers have not
embraced their infants as tightly or as fondly. As our
readers will see for themselves, the protracted wait
proved worthwhile.
This book is the outcome of over 20 years
of research. After reading the works of many
investigators past and present, we find our respect and
admiration for Gerald Massey growing all the greater.
Therefore, this book heavily features his superlative
contributions to the theological canon. It also features
many excerpts from the equally exemplary, if forgotten,
works of Massey's protégé Alvin Boyd Kuhn.
We sincerely hope our readers will
personally seek out and acquire the works of Massey and
Kuhn, and the other masters featured throughout this
book. We trust their writings will be read over and over
again, and that
their
superlative discoveries will be interpreted aright,
seriously contemplated, discussed, and publicized
throughout the world. We hope their exemplary books will
be donated to libraries both public and private
so that seekers of truth in every country of our world
can benefit from their wisdom.
THE ANCIENT CULTS OF POWER
...the very basis of mythology lies
in the idolatrous worship of the solar great father,
and the lunar great mother, who were the first
objects of worship that the history of the race
records
– William Tyler
Olcott (Sun
Lore of All Ages)
People
of the world go about their business, working and
sleeping, buying and selling, and worshipping in front
of altars, unaware that there were once at least four great
cults operating in the ancient world and that the
various traditions and customs of these ancient cults
were the basis for the Judeo-Christian religion. Indeed,
as several investigators have pointed out, Vatican-style
Latin Catholicism, and Christianity in general, is
replete with pagan motifs. Protestant churchmen have
labored to sanitize
their version of Christianity by expunging the more
obvious pagan elements. However, their efforts only
suffice up to a point. They have not succeeded in their
task and for good reason. To wholly erase
the pagan elements from Christianity is tantamount to
erasing the religion itself.
The dress and ornaments of the Romish
priest are borrowed from the heathens. The
Phoenician priests wore surplices. Lambskin was worn
by the Persian priests. The pelt, which the canons
wear with the fur outward, is a memorial of the
custom of the early heathens, who having killed the
beasts for sacrifice, flayed them and taking the
skins put them over their head with the fur
outwards. On the saccos, or episcopal garment of the
Russian bishops, are suspended small silver bells
which were also worn on the robes of the priests of
Persia...The crosier, or pastoral staff of the Pope,
was also used by the Druids, and answers to the lituus of the Roman augurs and the hieralpha of the
Hindoos
– W. Winwood Reade (The Veil of Isis: Or Mystery
of the Druids)
We are not being
irreverent or flippant when we say that there is not a
single element of Judeo-Christian doctrine or dogma that
did not originate in the pagan world. When Christians
bend their knees before their "Lord," for
example, they do so unaware they reproduce a ritual
once sacred to
Thoth, the ibis-headed god of the
moon. When Christians bury
their dead beneath the ground they do so unaware they emulate the rites of the Osirian
priesthood who solemnly believed a traversal
of the "Underworld" (known as Duat, Amenta or Nekya)
was necessary before a soul could transcend to higher
planes of existence. When they speak of being born again
in the "blood of the lamb," they do so unaware they are
referring to the astrological sign of Aries wherein the "reborn" sun
appears
each year. When families gather at Christmas
time, when they celebrate the festival of lights, roll
eggs at Easter, or dance jigs, they do so unaware of the
reasons. Astrology, Sabeanism, and Uranography mean nothing to them. The revelry
during familiar ceremonies provides
sufficient sensational distraction. Knowledge and understanding are
not invited. Their presence would only spoil the fun.
The
earliest books of our Bible are astrological, and are filled with
priceless ancient wisdom told in myth, fable, and allegory
-
E. Valentia Straiton (The Celestial Ship
of the North)
As late as the fifth and sixth centuries, the words
"Our Lord, the Sun," were used by the Christians in
their prayers. This same phrase was also used in the
Liturgy until altered later into "Our Lord, our God"
- Bozena Brydlova (Io Unveiled)
The name of the Christian god derives from
two words - Ja and Hovah. Ja (or
Yah) refers to the male or masculine archetype and hovah
refers to the female or feminine counterpart. So
Christians who perpetually regard the god of Israel, of
the prophets, and of Jesus, as male are quite in
error. Jehovah is androgynous. But so were Ptah, Atum
Ra, and Osiris. In fact a little research shows us that
Jehovah was a originally a Lunar rather than a
Solar or Saturnian deity. At least he was so in ancient
Egypt. And the pagan priests regarded the moon as
androgynous. The moon's waxing (which lasts approximately
14 days) was considered its masculine phase or
cycle. The waning (that also lasts 14 days) was the moon's feminine phase.
So the moon had two faces or characteristics, and so did
lunar deities like Jehovah. Furthermore, the scriptures
make it quite clear that Jehovah's main attribute is
light. He creates the light but he also is light. He
appeared to Moses as a burning bush and to Paul, John,
and Constantine, as a penetrating light. Many have
described Jehovah as the light
that illuminates the darkness. And that at
least is accurate since the moon is
indeed the
veritable light shining in the darkness. The moon does
shine during the night when stars are out and
when astronomers prepare to watch their heavenly "flocks." The
symbol of the moon was the horned headdress that simply
emulated the shape of the lunar crescent. Moses was
depicted with horns upon his head by Michelangelo who
obviously knew what ordinary Jews and Christians are not supposed
to know about their god, prophets, and religious
traditions.
Yes, many a pagan element is still to be found within the man-made religions of the world.
And astrology is element number one, as several
competent if suppressed investigators have labored to
reveal. The very patriarchs put before us as paragons
were astrologers
par excellence. How is it we've not
been told this in church, synagogue, and mosque? Why was
this lesson omitted in Sunday School? Why do the men who
benefit most from occult knowledge rebuke
the layman for studying and practicing astrology? After all, if
the magical arts were good enough for Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and Daniel,
should they not be good enough for everyone else?
But Abraham was not merely
the founder of the Persians, but various authors
assert that he was a great Magician, at the head of
the Magi, that is he was at the head of the
priesthood…in short, the whole of the Jewish system
betrays judicial astrology, or, in other words,
magic, in every part…There can be no doubt that
judicial astrology…was received and practiced by all
the ancient Jews, Persians, and many of the
Christians, particularly the Gnostics and
Manicheans…Eusebius tells us…that Abraham was an
astrologer, and that he taught the science to the
priests of Heliopolis or On. This was a fact
universally asserted by the historians of the East
– Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis, Vol. 1)
Daniel is said to have lived at
the court of the king of Babylon, to have been at
the head of the Astrologers, Magi, and Chaldeans,
and to have flourished both before and after the
taking of that city by the Persians - ibid
To illustrate our main point concerning the astrological
roots of Judeo-Christianity, we present here a list of passages from the Bible's
Old and New Testaments containing
cryptic references to sidereal phenomena:
…the
heavens were opened and I saw visions of God –
(Ezekiel 1:1)
Surely
the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of
it. He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this
place! This is none other than the house of God;
this is the gate of heaven" – (Genesis 29:
16-17)
Where
is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have
seen his Star in the East, and are come to worship
him - (Matthew 2:2)
When the morning stars sang
together, all the sons of God shouted for joy –
(Job 38:7)
And they that be wise shall shine
as the brightness of the firmament; and they that
turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and
ever – (Daniel 12:3 3)
And God
said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
heaven to divide the day from the night; and let
them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days,
and years -
(Genesis
1:14)
Is not God in the height of
heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high
they are. And thou sayest, What does God know? Can
he judge through the dark cloud? Thick clouds are a
covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh
in the circuit of heaven - (Job 22:12-14)
Therefore the Lord himself
shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall
conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel - (Isaiah 7:14)
He
telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all
by their names – (Psalm 147:4)
Praise ye
the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens:
praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his
angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye
him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light
– (Psalm 148:1-3)
And as he sat upon the Mount
of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and
what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end
of the world? - (Matthew 24:3)
These things
saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right
hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden
candlesticks - (Revelation
2:1)
For as Jonah was three days
and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the
Son of Man be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth - (Matthew 12:40)
Thus it
is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer,
and to rise from the dead the third day - (Luke
24:46)
In my
Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,
I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you - (John 14:2)
Thou, even thou, art Lord…and
all the host of heaven worshippeth thee –
(Nehemiah 9:6)
And he had in his right hand
seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength - (Revelation 1:16)
And there
appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed
with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon
her head a crown of twelve stars – (Revelation
12:1)
And there
appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a
great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns,
and seven crowns upon his heads
– (Revelation 12:3)
And his
tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and
did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood
before the woman which was ready to be delivered,
for to devour her child as soon as it was born –
(Revelation 12:4)
And I
looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud
one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head
a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle –
(Revelation 14:14)
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and
ye that dwell in them - (Revelation 12:12)
When
Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great
company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence
shall we buy bread, that these may eat?...There is a
lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two
small fishes: but what are they among so many? And
Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was
much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in
number about five thousand. And Jesus took the
loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed
to the disciples, and the disciples to them that
were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as
they would. When they were filled, he said unto his
disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that
nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them
together, and filled twelve baskets with the
fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained
over and above unto them that had eaten – (John
6:5-13)
Canst thou bind the sweet
influences of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of
Orion? Canst thou bring for Mazzaroth in his season?
or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? -
(Job 38:31)
While the
lion was saying these words to the eagle, I looked
and saw that the remaining head had disappeared. The
two wings that had gone over to it rose up and set
themselves up to reign, and their reign was brief
and full of tumult. When I looked again, they were
already vanishing. The whole body of the eagle was
burned, and the earth was exceedingly terrified
- (2 Esdras 12:1-3)
And twelve
kings shall reign in it, one after another. But the
second that is to reign shall hold sway for a longer
time than any other one of the twelve. This is the
interpretation of the twelve wings that you saw
- (2 Esdras 12:14-16)
I, Esdras, saw upon the Mount Sion a
great people whom I could not number, and they all
praised the Lord with songs. And in the midst of
them there was a young man of high stature, taller
than all the rest, and upon every one of their
heads he set crowns...It is the Son of God –
(2 Esdras 2:42)
The heavens declare the
glory of God and the firmament does showeth his
handiwork...There is no speech there are no words,
neither is there voice heard. Their line is gone out
through all the earth and their works to the end of
the world. In them he set a tabernacle for the sun
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber
and rejoices as a strong man to run his course -
(Psalms 19:1-6)
And when he was twelve years
old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of
the feast. And it came to pass that after three days
they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of
the doctors, both hearing them and asking them
questions - (Luke 2:42 & 46)
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees
came, and tempting desired him that he would show
them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto
them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair
weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning: It
will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and
lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face
of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the
times – (Matthew 16:1-3)
Then Peter took him, and began to
rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this
shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto
Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an
offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things
that be of God, but those that be of
men –
(Matthew 16: 21-23)
My beloved had a vineyard on a very
fruitful hill. He fenced it, cleared it of stone,
and he planted it with grapevines. He built a
watchtower on it and carved out a press. He waited:
expecting grapes from it –
(Isaiah 5)
There were Twelve Tribes of Israel:
and Moses, coming down from Sinai, appointed twelve
young men…to sacrifice at the twelve phallic pillars
which he got up to celebrate the giving of the Law
– (Exodus 24:4-5)
Yahweh placed his Hand on me; then I
looked and saw a great Spirit from the north; a
great cloud surrounded by Light and flashing
Fire...I saw what looked like Fire - a radiant disc
of Light – (Ezekiel
1:3-28)
We emphasize that
these Biblical passages are but a small sample of those containing Astro-Theological and Astro-Mythological leitmotifs. Indeed, we can go so far as to
say the entire Book of Revelation is a treatise on
astrology to be understood by astrologers and no others. The author James Morgan Pryse, writing in the
early nineteenth century, had already demonstrated this
beyond all possible doubt. Indeed, the author Arthur
Dyott Thompson who, like Madame Blavatsky, Rev. Robert
Taylor and others,
knew the word Hebrew truly referred to Stellar Cult adepts
and their kabalistic learning and arcane language, exposed
in his monumental work Mankind: Their Origin and
Destiny how the entire Bible was a
concoction of garbled sidereal lore. And, we might add
that what goes for the Old and New Testaments also goes
for the Apocrypha and the many Gnostic and Essene texts. After all, it
is no surprise to us that the Essenes divided their
members and order into three classes, as the
ancient Irish Magi were wont to do, or that they had
twelve bishops in senior positions within their
order. It is not a surprise that their master was given the title "Star," or that their
scriptures were, like the Bible, based on the
Astro-Theologies of ruined bygone civilizations. It is no
surprise that recent excavations of early "Jewish"
synagogues in Judea have exposed architecture replete
with stars and zodiacs.
The initiated,
who had passed through all the inferior grades, and
attained the highest rank of Autops, or
eye-witnesses, were called by the whole pagan world,
Israelites or Hebrews. The name of Israelites, Jews,
or Hebrews, did never designate a political or
national body, but were the name, which, from an
infinitely remote antiquity, designated...the
highest order of the initiated in those holy
mysteries; and to whom, and to whom alone, were
committed the oracles of God - Rev. Robert
Taylor (The Devil's Pulpit)
The ordinary
language of Egypt was called CBT, QBT, or GBT...The
sacred language took its name from the word OBR or
ABR which meant ancient times, the passage from one
place to another - any transition...It meant also
the explanation, the interpretation, the allegorical
meaning of things. Of this word OBR, generally
pronounced ABR, the word AMBR has been made. AMBRES
is the name of the holy book of the holy language,
and of the holy doctrine reserved for those who were
initiated in the mysteries of Egypt. Now OBR or ABR
is the word which...we are accustomed to pronounce
AEBR. This points out the AMBRIC, HEBRIC, HEBRAIC
language - Hebrew, in short the language which
enables men to pass from one meaning to another,
which explains, interprets, gives the allegorical
meaning - Arthur Dyott Thompson
By
Hebrews...Moses does not mean the Israelites in
general...but men, Israelites or Egyptians, who were
learned in the Hebrew language, in the knowledge of
AMBRES, the initiated - ibid
The so-called
Hebrew is but an artificial sacerdotal dialect of
the ancient Irish priesthood, constructed from the
Irish language for their own secret or ritualistic
use and purpose - Conor MacDari (The Bible:
An Irish Book)
So we ask again why
our "teachers" have not told us the truth
about Judaism and Christianity and about the true
identities of the patriarchs and prophets they
habitually lionize?
Why have we not been openly informed about their occult expertise
and about the existence of an esoteric corpus
reserved for initiates? Is it
because humble churchgoers are not supposed to have a
lot of choice in the matter of their own spiritual
salvation? Is it because they have been gradually goaded
into placing the welfare of their souls into the hands of
exceptionally cunning and immoral charlatans?
Is
it because a power-mad, vice-ridden priesthood has
habitually misused the esoteric knowledge it inherited
and covets? Have the keepers of ancient arcane arts and sciences
established their hierarchies of control because they
wish to live and act as demigods upon the Earth? We are
bound to think so, given the evidence.
It is also represented in the
Rabbinical writings that the souls of the Israelites
had a higher origin than the souls of the Gentiles
- Gerald Massey
Clement (of Alexandria) argued that the leaders
of the Church had been delegated by God as “rulers
on earth” and that people should submit to the
authority of bishops and priests, who were, so to
speak, authorized to keep the keys of the kingdom,
with the power of discipline and judgment over what
he called “the laity” – Ahmed Osman (Christianity:
An Egyptian Religion)
As we have shown in our Irish
Origins of Civilization, Judaism and Christianity
alike are merely branches of the "tree" of Druidism. And
the men who composed the Jewish and Christian "holy
books" knew this only too well. They knew their
religions were merely rescriptings of Irish and Egyptian
Sidereal Gnosis. As time passes, we know that this fact
will become common knowledge. The truth of the matter
is, gradually, being exposed.
If you accept the Orthodox
proposition that God wrote the Torah, then it
follows that all the Torah's commands and
prohibitions are the direct and true word of God,
that they accurately reflect his divine will, and
that, therefore, they must be scrupulously obeyed.
The problem is that there is a large and growing
body of credible evidence - textual, archeological,
and historical evidence - that points sharply in the
other direction...
Richard Elliot Friedman is
one of the country's most highly regarded
biblical scholars. In 1987 Friedman published
'Who Wrote the Bible?', a landmark book, that
methodically lays out why all nonfundamentalist
biblical scholars today agree that the Torah has
multiple, human authors. Friedman explains who
they were, when and where they wrote the Torah,
and why they wrote it.
Israel Finkelstein is one
of the world's leading biblical archeologists.
In 2001 Finkelstein and the historian Neil Asher
Silberman published 'The Bible Unearthed,' a
fact-filled book that zeros in on the widening
chasm between the Bible's stories and the
findings of modern archeology over the past
thirty years.
William W. Hallo, a
professor emeritus at Yale University, is a
widely recognized expert on the ancient Near East. His
studies place the texts of the Torah in the
context of the contemporary Near East, and he
offers abundant, documented evidence that the
texts are not unique, but rather reflected the
general customs and practices of the region and
the times.
Approaching the Torah from
different angles, all three eminent scholars arrive
at the same two basic conclusions. First, that man,
not God, wrote the Torah. And second, that the
stories in the Torah are not an accurate account -
not even close - of the real history of the ancient
Jewish people - R. D. Gold (Bondage of the
Mind: How Old Testament Fundamentalism Shackles the
Mind and Enslaves the Spirit)
Eventually we will
understand that the early "Judaic"
patriarchs and prelates merely followed in the footsteps of
their more illustrious predecessors, the Druids and
Amenists of old. Their temples and shrines would be
erected over the ancestral holy places of those masters
who had gone before. The new religion would likewise be
overlaid upon the millennia-old stellar gnosis. The
early priests knew the importance of the zodiac and for
a while they followed the arcane traditions as they had
been laid down by the ancient Magi. To high mountains they retired to commune
with their god. To open wildernesses and remote plateaus they went. From
the high places of the world they closely
watched the
heavens. The very telescopes they claimed
did not exist, and which they forbade men of
science to produce and use, they raised toward
man's first temple. With coveted and sequestered instruments
they observed the rising and setting of the stars and
constellations. They watched the sun pass over the great
arch of heaven and sink each night into the depths of
the underworld. From the academy of
heaven they took tuition and as the heavens were
divided so were their own societies partitioned. As
their ancestors had been named so were they, and their
institutions, renamed:
POPE
CARDINAL
MINISTER
MASTER
PASTOR
DEACON
SEXTON
BISHOP
NUN
MONK
NOVICE
MAGISTRATE
MONASTERY
Yes, the solar
priesthood did not abandon age old practices. The Solar
Cult's senior
members merely transmogrified the archaic rites and
customs. The sidereal
tabernacle (the true holy of holies) remained holy
in their eyes. Their new temples and shrines were also aligned with distant stars.
They also featured stellar motifs in their architecture. The
evidence showing what they were into has been kept as
secret as possible and has not been advertised. It is, however, there for
objective and symbolically literate men to
discover:
And Moses rose up early in the morning, and
builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars,
according to the twelve tribes of Israel –
(Exodus 24:4)
There are
to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of
the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with
the name of one of the twelve tribes – (Exodus
28:21)
And Joshua set up twelve stones in
the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of
the priests which bare the ark of the covenant
stood: and they are there unto this day –
(Joshua 4:9)
Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of
whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings
thereon unto the LORD thy God
– (Deuteronomy 27:6)
And the
house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the
length thereof was threescore cubits, and the
breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height
thereof thirty cubits…And the house, when it was in
building, was built of stone made ready before it
was brought thither: so that there was neither
hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the
house, while it was in building. The door for the
middle chamber was in the right side of the house:
and they went up with winding stairs into the middle
chamber, and out of the middle into the third –
(1 Kings 6:2-8)
As far as
Christianity goes, little has
changed since the days of old. The
new sun chiefs (the cardinals, bishops, prelates, and
clergymen) ensconced at their headquarters in Vatican
City endeavor to keep their interest in the stars as
secret as can be. Their worst fear is that their
fraud of two millennia will finally be exposed. They
fear Christians and non-believers alike will dispense
with fanaticism and cynicism and discover the true roots of religion. They fear their
Machiavellian despotism and insidious industry will
finally be exposed and challenged by evolved men and women who choose to
return to the sane and pristine traditions of their
ancestors.
Although the Roman Catholic Church once waged a long
and bitter war on science and astronomy
(particularly condemning Galileo), in general, they
were quite involved in astronomy. The church gave
more financial and social support to the study of
astronomy for over six centuries, from the recovery
of ancient learning during the late Middle Ages into
the Enlightenment, than any other, and probably, all
other, institutions -

The Jewish temple represented the order and
harmony of the universe. Clemens Alexandrius (Strom
1.V) tells us that it contained several emblems of
time, of the sun, moon, and planets, of the two
Bears, of the zodiac, of the elements, and of other
portions of the world -

The Christian Church has left a
legacy, a world view, that permeates every aspect of
Western society, both secular and religious. It is a
legacy that fosters sexism, racism, the intolerance
of difference, and the desecration of the natural
environment…Christianity has helped to create a
society in which people are alienated not only
from each other but also from the divine –
Helen Ellerbe (The
Dark Side of Christian History)
The objective student of Christianity's origins
understands what Christians, for the most part, do not
understand and do not wish to understand about their
religion. He understands that the senior priests and prelates
of the Roman and Protestant Churches have been, at all times, closely
affiliated with esoteric societies. Indeed, we can go so
far as to say that Judeo-Christianity is an exoteric branch of the
esoteric orders. And like Freemasonry, Judeo-Christianity has
an inner as well as an outer court. It has an
official face shown to the masses and also a veiled
face revealed only to carefully selected initiates. It is our devout
wish that, in present times, the connections between the Church and the
occult orders continue to be exposed and that
the veil of secrecy continues to be torn from Christianity's
morbid faces.
The Masons were the first priests...and as they were
the persons employed to provide every thing
requisite for honoring the Gods, the building of
temples naturally fell into their hands, and thus
priests and masons were identified...Thus the Masons
were an order of priests, that is, of the initiated.
Every initiated person was a priest, though he might
not exercise the functions of a priest. Thus they
became identified with the most powerful and
influential body of society...they provided good
houses for themselves...from superiority of
intellect, the consequence of the constant use of
their faculties, they acquired the sovereign power -
Godfrey Higgins
The sinister
countenance of the Church has been the subject of many
works. But few researchers have summed up the truth of
the matter with greater accuracy and perceptiveness than Madame
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky who wrote:
...there exists…another class of
adepts belonging to a brotherhood also and mightier
than any other they have to be ranked with the
adepts of the Black Art.
These are our Roman
Catholic “Fathers” and clergy…A
hundred times more learned
in secret symbology and the old religion than our
Orientalists will ever be...There are more
profoundly learned Kabalists in Rome and throughout
Europe and America than is generally
suspected...Thus are the “Brotherhoods” of “Black”
adepts more powerful and dangerous…than any host of
Eastern Occultists
– (The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 3)
The great
researcher into the occult
history of Ireland, Conor MacDari, also commented upon
the noxious facts concerning the advent of the crime
syndicate known as the Christian Church:
The story of the Roman Church is
quite different and not a pleasant one to dwell
upon. She made her advance through the medium of
intrigue, war, fire and sword, persecution, torture,
confiscations, and death, the exemplification of
force and intolerance. By such means she gained
control and increase in power and the Irish Church
missionaries were gradually forced to withdraw from
the continent. It was only by such forcible means
that she could make gains against the Irish Church
whose representatives surpassed hers in
every field of peaceful
endeavor...in learning, the sciences, philosophy and
spiritual culture – (The Bible: An Irish Book)
The
indoctrination process instigated by those responsible
for birthing Christianity
works well to ensure that the ideal Christian
or Jew continues to exist in a perpetual state of spiritual fear
and guilt.
As a result of his divorce from center, such a man is impotent, subservient, faithful, and tame. He is suspicious
of his own reason and prefers to accept rather than to
proactively doubt and question. He believes he is
empowered and upon the road to salvation. He is
confident his overlords know what is right for him and he
compliantly waits for these
authorities to bestow whatever spiritual rewards they
deem to be his
due. As long as he remains obedient and faithful he can
be assured the good favor of his god. Of course, should
he show signs of rebellion, and should he fail to conform to
the commandments set before him, he can expect wrath
and punishment from god. Should he doubt or question, or should he
abandon the path he is expected to walk, he can expect god to damn
his very soul to eternal torment in hell. He has been
told that men are born sinners and that the only hope
for salvation is their complete devotion to the Church
that serves
god. Without the Church as his "mother" he cannot have
God as his "father." So has it been decreed. The pitiful
creature infected with lies of this magnitude and
perfidy crawls toward his grave unaware that it was
not god who molested his reason and twisted
his heart in such a despicable manner, but men of
a very sinister type and intent.
What harm would it do, if a man told
a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for
the Christian church…a lie out of necessity, a
useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be
against God, he would accept them
- Martin Luther (as cited by his secretary in a
letter. Source: Briefwechsel Landgraf Phillips
des Grossmüthigen von Hessen mit Bucer, vol. I,
by Max Lenz)
The multitude of books is a great
evil. There is no measure or limit to this fever for
writing; every one must be an author; some out of
vanity, to acquire celebrity and raise up by name;
others for the sake of lucre and gain. The Bible is
now buried under so many commentaries, that the text
is nothing regarded....The aggregation of large
libraries tends to divert men's thoughts from the
one great book, the Bible, which ought, day and
night, to be in every one's hand....Never will the
writings of mortal man in any respect equal the
sentences inspired by God. We must yield the place
of honour to the prophets and the apostles, keeping
ourselves prostrate at their feet as we listen to
their teaching
– Martin Luther (Source: The Table Talk of
Martin Luther)
Martin Luther, like
so many liars and power-hungry despots of his type,
belonged to a powerful occult order. The ordinary Bible
reader, however, is never meant to guess that. He is
merely to continue believing his Jesus to be utterly
unique and that the tyrants responsible for establishing
his religion were paragons. He is never meant to
discover, for example, that Emperor Constantine also
belonged to a powerful world wide solar order, that he
was guilty of murdering at least three members of his
own family, and that he remained a sun-worshipping pagan
until the very end of his days. Knowing such things
poses a threat to the credibility of the Church and
clergy. It would expose
priestly duplicity and make once ardent devotees
question every other aspect of doctrine and dogma. It
might compel good men to wonder whether their beliefs
and allegiances have tuned them into subservient and compliant
slaves to tyrants of truly demonic breed.
Contrary to tradition, Constantine
did not make Christianity the official state
religion of Rome. The state religion of Rome under
Constantine was, in fact, pagan sun worship; and
Constantine, all his life, acted as its chief
priest. Indeed, his reign was called a "sun
emperorship…" and Sol Invictus figured everywhere -
including on the imperial banners and the coinage of
the realm. The image of Constantine as a fervent
convert to Christianity is clearly wrong. He himself
was not even baptized until 33 - when he lay on his
deathbed and was apparently too weakened or too
apathetic to protest. Nor can he be credited with
the Chi Rho monogram…An inscription bearing this
monogram was found on a tomb at Pompeii dating from
two and a half centuries before…The cult of Sol
Invictus was Syrian in origin and imposed by Roman
emperors on their subjects a century before
Constantine. Although it contained elements of Baal
and Astarte worship, it was essentially
monotheistic. In effect, it posited the sun god as
the sum of all attributes of all other gods and thus
peacefully subsumed its potential rivals. Moreover,
it conveniently harmonized with the cult of
Mithras--which was also prevalent in Rome and the
empire at the time and which also involved solar
worship
- Gaston H. Halsberghe (The Cult of Sol Invictus)
If it can be shown, by clear and
indisputable evidence, that the history of Jesus
Christ (as commonly received among Christians) is a
forgery and a fiction—that he was not the son of a
virgin called Mary, the wife of Joseph the
carpenter, who conceived through the power of the
holy ghost, and ceased not to be a virgin even after
she had become a mother—that he did not converse
with the Jewish doctors in the temple—nor preach to
the populace in Jerusalem and elsewhere—nor perform
miraculous cures—nor hold communion with the
devil—nor, in point of fact, do any one act that
pious enthusiasts and ignorant devotees have
ascribed to him; and further, that neither a god nor
a man called Christ was crucified by Pontius Pilate,
the Procurator, and therefore could not by
possibility have arisen from the dead three days
after an event which did not happen, and ascend into
heaven, as is vulgarly supposed,—if, we repeat, it
can be clearly proved that the foregoing assertions
about the birth, life, death, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ, are idle tales, having no foundation
whatever in truth—mere fictions stolen from the
mythological fables of ancient nations,—the very
root of the Christian system will be as nought!
- J. C. Blumenfeld (The Existence of Christ
Disproved)
…the books of the New Testament were
derived from various sources, stitched together as
best the editors could manage, and that the editors
had been much affected by considerations of bias and
propaganda in their work, suppressing or altering
what did not suit their religious standpoint in the
controversies of the early Church
- Martin A. Larson (The Story of Christian
Origins)
The
ancestors of our present day ecclesiastical degenerates
were well known to the ancient adepts. They also came
from a long lineage of deceivers and destroyers. The
ancestors of the present day sorcerers were disciples of
power rather than lovers of knowledge. The power of
their spiritual office went to their heads and dominion
over the minds of men became their
obsession. They were students of the heavens and they knew
when eclipses were going to occur and when enormously
long cycles were opening and closing. They knew when
constellations and special stars arose and set and
when significant conjunctions were about to happen.
Furthermore, their ability to read the stars enabled
them to read men. They knew a man's fate and worked as
oracles predicting future events. Kings and princes
harkened to their instruction and their apparent
clairvoyance was awed. In turn for their services they
were richly rewarded. The priestly oracles, however,
eventually forgot a vital fact. They forgot that
esoteric knowledge comes with a price. It is never free.
A mind that presumes to understand great mysteries
is a mind which must be morally
incorruptible. Ironically, the impure mind will
eventually be damaged and corrupted by the very
proximity of the truth it covets. This fact is
never forgotten by a
Servant of Truth. It is forgotten by a sorcerer.
Priestly corruption
has a date of birth. It can be traced back to Egyptian Atonism and Irish
Culdaism.
The Atonist (or Judeo-Christian) syllabus is a distortion of that once taught
by the Servants of Truth, the Arya. It is this
mutilated and disfigured version of sacred
Mystery School teachings that has subverted human
reason, undermined man's spiritual evolution, and caused
the state of decay so prevalent throughout the world.
The tragedy of present times was, however, foreseen by those
Servants of Truth who understood the nature and intent
of their sworn rivals, the Sorcerers or Luciferians -
the worshippers of the dark side of the sun.
In their weariness the people of
that time will find the world nothing to wonder at
or worship…People will find it oppressive and scorn
it...They will prefer shadow to light, and they will
find death more expedient than life. No one will
look up to heaven. The reverent will be thought mad,
the irreverent wise; the lunatic will be thought
brave, and the scoundrel will be taken for a decent
person. Soul and teachings about soul…will be considered not simply laughable
but even illusory. But – believe me – whoever
dedicates himself to reverence of mind will find
himself facing a capital penalty. They will
establish new laws, new justice. Nothing holy,
nothing reverent nor worthy of heaven or heavenly
things will be heard or believed in the mind. How
mournful when the gods withdraw from mankind! Only
the baleful angels remain to mingle with humans,
seizing wretches and driving them to carry
outrageous crime – war, looting, trickery and all
that is contrary to the soul -
Asclepius
(The
Corpus Hermeticum)
The
cunning priests and mythmongers have always sought to
ensure that their unfortunate followers remain morally infected
and spiritually befuddled. To this end they have plagiarized and rescripted the sacred Hermetic and
Astrological canon. Although
their manifesto, the Testaments, are
scurrilously garbled and illogical, few are bothered.
As long as the desired effects are elicited the
mythmongering is zealously endorsed. The compilation, instead of
being flung into consuming fires, has been sanctified
and lauded as the
veritable word of god. Those who once decided to refute
the matter were brutally tortured and
murdered. Today, they are ridiculed, branded, condemned
as sinners, and ostracized.
The compilers of the Old
Testament…knew well that the language of the
Initiates in the days of Moses was identical with
that of the Egyptian Hierophants – Madame Helena
Blavatsky
There is nothing holy about the
Bible, nor is it “the word of God.” It was not
written by God-inspired saints, but by power-seeking
priests. Who but priests consider sin the paramount
issue? Who but priests write volumes of religious
rites and rituals? No one, but for these priestly
scribes sin and rituals were imperatives. Their
purpose was to found an awe-inspiring religion. By
this intellectual tyranny they sought to gain
control, and they achieved it. By 400 BC, they were
the masters of ancient Israel. For such a great
project they needed a theme, a framework, and this
they found in the Creation lore of more
knowledgeable races. This they commandeered and
perverted – the natural to the supernatural, and the
truth to error. The Bible is, we assert, but
priest-perverted cosmology –
Lloyd Graham (Myths and Deceptions
of the Bible)
The
prelates of old knew their forged canon would pay
dividends. They knew that once their baseless doctrines
were accepted men would hopelessly flounder in a miasma
of self-imposed guilt and fear. The man in such a
state is bound to be needy, obedient, and desperate for
approval. He can be relied upon to recruit (or infect)
others of his own ilk, and he can be sent forth to
attack and even destroy those who resist the barrage of
propaganda. By engendering fear of the devil, the
priests secured their positions and acquired their
coveted dominion over the psychology of
human beings. The fear that arose within a
Christian, as he contemplated what his poor soul was
bound to endure if it were condemned to the
infernal fires, was sufficient to send him running into the
camps
of his direst enemies. It was enough to turn him into the
thoughtless, subservient, and obedient minion of truly
nefarious men. To this very day large numbers of
supposedly rational and evolved people the world over
fall prey to this priestcraft. Vast numbers of modern human
beings, each believing themselves to be progressive and
civilized, harbor emotions of fear and guilt implanted by
self-serving sanctimonious demagogues in high places. But how convenient
it is for the duplicitous and hypocritical of the world
to excuse their own recalcitrance and perversity through
rhetoric about devils and moral temptation. How conveniently
can the fallen angel of the mythmongers be used and
abused by those who would not
have passed beyond the first grade of an authentic Mystery
School.
Bad as he is, the Devil may be abus’d,
Be falsely charged, and causelessly accus’d, When
Men, unwilling to be blamed alone, Shift off those
crimes on Him that are their Own
- Daniel Dafoe
The Christian "faith" is the
paramount demonstration in all the world's life that
to try to dominate humankind by a religion divorced
from philosophy is to take the path leading straight
to wreckage. History records that fearful wreckage
- Alvin Boyd Kuhn
The terrible craze that was caused by this
perversion of the ancient wisdom has sown the germs
of insanity broadcast, and half-filled the world
with pious lunatics for whom it offers no cure
– Gerald Massey
It should never be forgotten that the power of the
priest rests solely on the credence of the people.
The people cry out for a savior, for certainty of
heaven, for an exemption from the terrors of
hell. Hence Priestcraft can neither do without hell
nor purgatory. Take away both, or either, and its
power is gone -
M. F. Cusack (The Black Pope: A History of the
Jesuits)
A religion which sedulously opposes
its own improvement can do nothing essential toward
improving anything else...On the contrary, it must
check the growth of everything it touches with its
palsied hands
– Kersey Graves (The Bible of Bibles)
When the complete record of
Christianity's misdeeds is finally and accurately
written, this will stand out as its greatest crime
against civilization. Its greatest crime has been,
not the burning of men at the stake or the
imprisonment of others in a Christian dungeon, but
in the lower type of mind and character that it has
encouraged, in the hypocrisy that it has made almost
a second character. In Pagan Rome it was said that
one priest could not meet another without a smile.
If Christian can meet Christian today with a grave
face, it is only because the selective influence of
Christianity has developed a type that lacks the wit
to perceive the absurdity of its own religious
beliefs
– Chapman Cohen (Essays in Freethinking)
Sadly, the
over-worked, sense-infatuated, and chronically
narcissistic man of today's world has little inclination
to study the lessons of history. In most ways his
existence differs greatly from that of his predecessors.
In matters of religion and superstition, however, little has
changed over the centuries. In matters of religion man's
intellect freezes. He regressively clings to absurdities
as zealously as his illiterate Medieval predecessors. And yet, for all his recalcitrance, he cannot be
wholly blamed. His beliefs about metaphysical matters have been
expertly insinuated and embedded by influential men he
has never seen or heard of. These hidden overlords have
their underlings well trained. They have taught men to
suspend their critical abilities and to be faithful and obedient. And the mannequins they
control remain, for the most part, content to place
their spiritual welfare in their perfidious hands. The
apathetic and fearful mannequin reads about history from
books and programs prepared by his duplicitous masters. He covets his
assigned place in the hierarchy and feels no need to
unsettle himself by asking vexatious questions about
history or the meaning of life. Even apparently
intelligent and inquisitive men it seems can live out
their entire lives unaware that the tropes of religion
are, like the myths, largely
expressions of astrological metascience.
All mythologies find their
explanation in this starry language, and every
religion is founded upon the movements of our solar
system. The rise and fall of empires and races of
men are written in its pages - Thomas H.
Burgoyne (The Light of Egypt: or The Science of
the Soul and The Stars, Vol. II)
The religious focus of the
earliest known civilizations was on the sky, which
was universally known to be the home of the “gods.”
The sky covered the Earth, and so was called
“heaven,” which means a “covering”...The myths were
intimately tied to the stars through the
constellations, for many myths ended with the hero
being placed among the stars in the sky, a process
called catasterization. Thus a constellation was
said to be the image of the hero, or heroine, who
had been taken to live among the gods, and be
immortal – Harry Dale
Huffman (End of the Mystery)
Amenists and Druids
Whether the origin of the zodiac is
Aryan or Egyptian, it is still of immense antiquity.
Simplicius (sixth century AD) writes that he had
always heard that the Egyptians had kept
astronomical observations and records for at least
630,000 years...Diogenes Laertius carried back the
astronomical calculations of the Egyptians to 48,863
years before Alexander the Great. Maritanus Capella
corroborates the same by telling posterity that the
Egyptians had secretly studied astronomy for over
40,000 years before they imparted their knowledge to
the world -
J. Lewis (Astronomy of the
Ancients)
Throughout our work we emphasize the spread of the
elements of civilization from the Western to the Eastern
hemisphere. European Celts known as the Scythians were,
as ancient Irish annals clearly show,
connected to noble families of Egypt during the
fourteenth century BC. But even before
the time of the Scythians (or more properly the Saca or
Sages) the ancient Megalithic Arya of Britain and
Scandinavia had emigrated to the lands of the
South-West taking their expertise and traditions with
them. This fact needs to be borne in mind when we
read ancient scriptures, particularly those penned by
Judeo-Christian mythmongers. This devious coterie not
only plagiarized Astrological and Astro-Theological
leitmotifs from Nile Valley mystery schools, they also
plagiarized the Druidic corpus of Ireland. This is
made evident from reading passages such as the
following loaded with Druidic imagery:
After that thou shalt come to the
hill of God, where is the garrison of the
Philistines; and it shall come to pass, when thou
art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a
band of prophets coming down from the high place
with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a
harp, before them; and they will be prophesying
– (1 Samuel 10:5-6)
Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by
their fruits ye shall know them – (Matthew 7:15-20)
The
facts
concerning the West to East migration need to be
particularly borne in mind when we read of or consider the
genius of the Egyptians:
Col. Vallencey has proved, as clear as the sun at
noon, that the ancient gods of the Greeks and Romans
came from the Hyperboreans - Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis)
Every nation in antiquity had its traditions
based on those of the Aryan Secret Doctrine -
Madame Helena Blavatsky
...the Curetes (high priests) came to Ida in
Crete from the land of the Hyperboreans -
Pausanias (ancient Greek historian)
The opinion of Aristotle, that philosophy came to
the Greeks from the Gauls and not from the Greeks to
the Gauls, is very striking - Godfrey Higgins (Celtic
Druids)
The history and the mythology of Ireland go
farther back in time than that of England,
Scandinavia, France, or Germany. The treasures of
the Museum of Dublin show the proof...The relation
of Ireland to Greece grows more evident as the study
of their myths increases - Henry Binkley Stein (Thirty
Thousand Gods Before Jehovah)
We strongly believe that as
time passes our theory concerning the intimate
connections between the Amenists of Egypt and the Druids
of Ireland will be vindicated by archaeological
discoveries. Every month new evidence arises confirming
the West to East transition of the major elements of civilization.
We go so far as to say that solar cultism of the
unadulterated kind was not
indigenous to Egypt but was transported and seeded there
by visiting Westerners,
namely the so-called
Shemsu Hor or "Disciples of Horus," properly
known as the Ari or Arya. It was their colleges that
spread throughout the globe before all others. It was their philosophy that inspired the minds of early
European savants. And it was their sidereal knowledge
that eventually became, after absorption and adaptation, the mystery traditions of Sumerians, Chaldeans, and
Egyptians:
The religion of the ancient peoples seems to have
been one throughout the entire world; a great
brotherhood, a universal faith. Strange has been the
impulse of priests and theologians to deviate from
the ancient holiness which was so solemn and
majestic in primeval days, and to instruct the
masses in false doctrines -
E. Valentia
Straiton (The Celestial Ship of the North)
The Egyptians were sublime
philosophers who had dictated theology to the world.
And in Chaldea arose the first astrologers who
watched the heavenly bodies with curiosity as well
as with awe, and who made divine discoveries, and
who called themselves The Interpreters of God
– W. Winwood Reade (Veil of Isis: Or Mysteries of
the Druids)
Long before Moses led the Children of
Israel out of Egypt or Agamemnon sailed with his
troops to Troy, great literary civilizations in
Mesopotamia and Egypt had laid the foundations of
our arts, sciences, humanities, religion, ethics,
law, and economy
- Cyrus H. Gordon (Hammurabi’s Code)
...Egypt
is highly unusual, in that the early craftsmanship
and construction from the Old Kingdom are the finest
and the quality and dimensions of each monument
reduce from then on throughout the following
millennia – Ralph Ellis (Eden in Egypt)
The
predynastic Egyptians, that is to say, that stratum
of them which was indigenous to North Africa,
belonged to a white or light-skinned race with fair
hair, who in many particulars resembled the Libyans,
who in later historical times lived very near the
western bank of the Nile – E. A. W. Budge (Egypt
in the Neolithic and Archaic Periods)
Among the
ancient crania from the Thebaid in the collection in
the Department of Human Anatomy at Oxford, there are
specimens which must unhesitatingly be considered to
be those of Nordic type – L. H. Dudley Buxton (The
Peoples of Asia)
...the
famous Egyptologist (Prof. Walter B. Emery), author
of “Archaic Egypt”...discovered the remains of
individuals who lived in the predynastic epoch.
These presented a dolichocephalous skull, larger
than that of the local ethnic group, fair hair and a
taller, heavier build. Emery declared that this
stock wasn’t indigenous to Egypt but had performed
an important sacerdotal and governmental role in
this country. This race kept its distance from the
common people, blending only with the aristocratic
classes and the scholar associated them with the
Shemsu Hor, the “disciples of Horus”...The Shemsu
Hor are recognized as the dominant sacerdotal caste
in pre-dynastic Egypt (until approximately 3000
B.C.), being mentioned in the Turin papyrus and the
list of the kings of Abydos - Vittorio Di Cesare
and Adriano Forgione (Malta: Skulls of the Mother
Goddess)
It is
singular to find a white race spoken of in the
ancient monuments. Dr. Brugsch, the learned German,
notices the word Tam-hou or white men. As it occurs
on tablets dated 2,500 years before Christ, it is
puzzling to indicate the people. Brugsch traces them
to Libya. Champollion recognized in the Tamh’ou a type
of European ancestry. M. Deveria remarks upon
hieroglyphics recording the fact that Horus, the
god, leading and guiding a white race. As there are
still many Celtic monuments in the north of Africa,
over many hundreds of miles, he contends for the
existence of an original Celtic people in Egypt, or,
in modern language, that the Welsh and Irish were
once in Egypt – James Bonwick (Egyptian
Belief and Modern Thought, 1878)
Nobody
knows just who these blue-eyed, fair-skinned people
were, or even where they came
from...Anthropologically, they were termed
Caucasians…These people, Elliot Smith concluded,
were more than intelligent enough to accomplish the
amazing building feats that the modern world marvels
at on the banks of the Nile – Gerald O’Farrell (The
Tutankhamen Deception)
When
modern academics composed reference books about
early Egyptian history, they scrupulously avoided
mention of the impressive body of ancient evidence
attesting to the celestial rulers of predynastic
Egypt – Tony Bushby (The Secret in the Bible)
Classical
archaeologists are in agreement that ancient
migrations did take place in prehistoric times,
although they often tend to be rather hazy about the
dates and the countries involved – Ralph Ellis (Jesus:
Last of the Pharaohs)

A few historians have
accepted that North-Westerners brought the
worship of Marduk (or more correctly Merodach,
from the Irish Murdoch) to Babylon. They are
apparently reluctant, however, to accept that
North-Westerners brought the worship of Osiris, Horus,
and Ra (and even earlier deities) to Egypt.
Nevertheless, this was certainly the
case. The North-Westerners were the Goths or "Goat Men"
who gave Egypt its name. The word Egypt
derives from
Aegyptus or
Aegis, meaning "goat." The term
Aegean also means the same thing, as does God, Giza,
Gaza, Gotland, Golgotha, and Cadiz,
etc.

It is stated on a parchment
found in a brick wall in the foundations of Denderah
at the time of King Pepi: “The Great Pyramid was
built by the followers of Horus;” the Stellar Cult
people were the followers of Horus in the same sense
as the Christians are the followers of Christ...The
Architect who drew the plans was Nu-er-nub-ari, “the
Keeper of the Secrets” – Albert Churchward (The
Origins and Evolution of Religion)
The god Horus was often represented with the
horns of both a ram and a goat - Frank Higgins (Ancient
Freemasonry)
In
light of our theories concerning the West to East flow
(expounded upon in greater detail in The Irish
Origins of Civilization)
we deem it logical and also necessary to co-extend and
co-apply all
references concerning the genius and expertise of Egypt's
Amenists to the Irish Arya. The difference
between these two groups is, to our mind, negligible.
In ancient Egypt dwelt the great
Adepts and Masters who have never been surpassed -
(The Kybalion)
…in Egypt
all the operations of the powers which work in
heaven have been transferred to Earth below…it
should be said that the whole cosmos dwells in Egypt
-
Asleptus (Hermetic Texts)
…the
Egyptians were the first to discover the solar year,
and to portion out its course into twelve parts both
the space of time and the seasons which they
delimit. It was observation of the course of the
stars which led them to adopt this division…It is
also the Egyptians who first bought into use the
names of the twelve gods, which the Greeks adopted
from them -Herodotus
The Egyptians were not known as a
particularly licentious people, but were remarkable
for their spirituality. The consequences of the
Church's attitude to sex and sexual love for our
culture...been terrible repression on such a scale
has been responsible, not only for personal torment
and unnecessary soul-searching, but also for
countless crimes against women and children
- Picket and Prince (Templar
Revelation)
The Egyptians are said to have been
the first who brought the "rules of government" with
the art of making "life easy" and "a people happy" -
the true end of worldly politics - to a regular
system. But much as they excelled other nations in
scientific lore, in nothing was their superiority so
conspicuous as in that magic art
- Henry O'Brien (Atlantis in
Ireland, 1834)
Among the Egyptian festivals was one
called the Feast of Lamps, when upon a night in
winter the houses and temples were lighted up with
numerous lights. This was more particularly
celebrated at Sais, in honour of the goddess Neith;
but those who could not come up to that city to keep
the festival burnt their own lamps at home…The Jews
seem to have borrowed this festival...The Christians
would seem to have taken the custom from the
Egyptians as much as from the Jews, as the purpose
of our Candlemass day, which is to commemorate the
purification of the Virgin Mary, more resembles the
worship of the goddess Neith than the purification
of the Temple by Judas Maccabaeus
- Samuel Sharpe (Egyptian
Mythology and Egyptian Christianity)
From what was written thousands of
years ago, it is shown that the modern-day portrait
of pre-Pharaonic Egypt is distorted by overwhelming
emphasis on the study of existing crumbling ruins
and exotic carvings
- Alvin Boyd Kuhn
Caesar and other Roman
writers, as well as the Greeks, knew nothing of the
esoteric wisdom of Ancient Egypt, and therefore of
the Druids. They perverted all that had been told
them - Albert Churchward (The Origins and
Evolution of Religion)
The Druidic Order
was divided into three classifications. There were Druids,
Bards, and Ovates. Significantly, the
Egyptian Amenists employed a similar tripartite system:
The three highest ranks in Egypt were the divine,
the royal, and the noble, and the three were
distinguished from each other by their peculiar type
of beard. Thus the loftiest rank was spiritual, and
this primacy originated not in men becoming bishops,
but in their possessing those spiritual powers and
faculties which have been repudiated and expurgated
by the Churches of orthodox Christianity, but which
were looked upon of old as verily divine –
Gerald Massey (Ancient Egypt: The Light of the
World)
The Egyptian priesthood was hereditary, and
formed one of the three classes into which the
nation was divided--namely, the priests, the
soldiers, and the cultivators of the soil. They held
their estates free from the land tax or rent of
one-fifth of the crop, as mentioned in Gen. xlvii.
26. They were the only learned or educated people in
the kingdom, and consequently they filled every post
and office which needed any education. Not only
every clergyman, sexton, and undertaker, but every
physician and druggist; every lawyer, writing-clerk,
schoolmaster, and author; every sculptor, painter,
and land-measurer; every conjuror, ventriloquist,
and fortune-teller, belonged to the priestly order.
Even those posts in the army which required an
education, such as secretaryships and clerkships,
were held by priests. Much of the skilled labour of
the country was under their control. The linen
manufactories in the Delta, and the stone quarries
between the first and second cataracts, were both
managed by the priests – Samuel Sharpe (Egyptian
Mythology and Egyptian Christianity)
From the word Ovate
(from the Gaelic Faidh) come such
roots and words as Faith, Fate
and Vatican.
So when Christians pontificate about having "faith," they
do so without realizing the word and idea come from
the Druids, the true "Men of Faith." The Ovates were
judges. The word judge comes from the same roots
as Judah (from Yahud) and Jew. In
all cases these titles come from Irish roots. They refer to the
"Men of the Yews," the Arya, or Servants of Truth who
appeared in pre-dynastic Egypt as the blue-eyed,
fair-skinned Shemsu Hor.
The Brehon
(Judges) laws of Eire were, without a doubt, the
most ancient code of laws on earth. It was under the
guidance and instruction of those first great
teachers that there developed in the Island of Eire
that cult of wise men who are know to us by
tradition, and in cryptic lore, as the Ancient Magi
or Magicians of Eire. This was the great Adept order
of priesthood whose history has been suppressed like
that of the island itself, but the memory of which
is secretly preserved in mythic form in secular or
profane history, and in our Irish sacred book, the
Bible - Conor MacDari (The Bible: An Irish
Book)
The Pope of Rome exactly resembles
the Secular High-Priest of
ancient Rome, and in Latin his title is the same -
Pontifex Maximus.
The office was probably an imitation of that of the
Arch-Druid, who,
as I have described, had supreme power over secular
as well as
ecclesiastical affairs, and who was surrounded by a
Senate of the
Chief Druids, as the Pontifex Maximus was by
Flamines, and the Pope by Cardinals
- W. Winwood Reade (Veil of Isis: Or the
Mysteries of the Druids)
As we can see from
these examples, etymological
evidence reveals plenty of interesting connections between the
Western and Eastern schools.
In ancient Wales the priesthood was
known as Syw (which can be pronounced Suv, Shuva,
Shuwa, etc). In Egypt the priests referred to
themselves as Shaau (as in sowa or show). The word cow
comes from this root. The cow goddess was revered in both
Britain and Egypt. The reference to the cow connotes the
Age of Taurus when the Druidic schools were very active
and prominent.
The Druids
worshipped deity under the form of the Equinoctial
Bull, as did the early Hebrews and Egyptians, and
under the form of an erect monolithic stone, the
Hermetic pillar or "gilgal," of which so many are
found in Palestine to this day - Frank Higgins (Ancient
Freemasonry)
Moreover, the name
druid comes from the same root as the word
door. The Druids were, spiritually speaking, the
"door-keepers" or "gate-keepers." Indeed, doors were
commonly made from the wood of oak trees sacred to the
Druids to symbolically commemorate this connection. The
idea and image of a portal between realms or to the
place of the "mysteries" was picked up and employed by
Freemasons and, significantly, a title for Egyptian
pharaohs, ruti, also meant "door keeper" or "gate
keeper." Additionally, as Comyns Beaumont's writings
reveal, the Egyptians were
affiliated with the Phoenicians. The
magnificent site at Baalbek in the Lebanon (named after
the god Bel) was of Phoenician construction.
Some of the stones lying at the location are so massive that no
modern crane can move or lift them into place.
Originally, the Phoenicians
were referred to by the historians as the "Kabiri." This
word is correctly rendered Kab Ari, with the
syllable
Ari referring to the Arya of Ireland. As we
showed in our book The Irish Origins of
Civilization, the name Ireland was originally
Ariland, the "Land of the Arya" or "Aryans."
Under the title "Phoenician" (from Fin, meaning
"fair," "white," "pleasant," as in fine or
finesse) the Arya, after the Age of Catastrophe,
traveled abroad and established sacred colleges in
numerous
lands. They were the original disseminators of the
elements of civilization.
...many of the gods worshipped at Memphis were
considered by Herodotus to be Phoenician deities
- Samuel Sharpe (Egyptian
Mythology and Egyptian Christianity)
Furthermore,
one of the earliest titles or names for the
sky goddess of the Irish Druids was "An." This name
can also be rendered Ana, Anu, Dana, Danu, or Diana.
Significantly, this goddess name turns up as the
original names of the temples at Dendera and
Heliopolis.
Moreover, it was customary for the image of the goddess (the
vulture or serpent, etc) to be etched or painted above
the portals of most temples. The pharaoh and priests
always entered beneath the sign and image of the
goddess. Men entered into the temple as they entered the
world, via the portal of the female. A study of the shape and symbolism of church
doorways and windows confirms the tradition has been
well and truly carried on. As patristic as they are,
latter day churchmen know how the female symbolism
affects the racial memory of their unthinking
congregations who erroneously imagine the Christian
religion to be something divinely transmitted and
utterly unique.
As said,
the Druidic Order was divided into three schools. Threeness
was a most important archetype for the ancient Arya. It
can be considered their hallmark. Significantly, it
appears that from the earliest times three schools existed
within the astronomical cults of Egypt. Sir Norman Lockyer
discerned this from his meticulous examination of temple
alignments. He wrote:
To all three
schools sun-worship was common, but we may clearly
separate them by the associated star-worship. We
have found worshippers of northern stars, east and
west stars, and southern stars -
(Dawn of
Astronomy)
A study of the
rites of Osiris reveals the truth of what we advocate
concerning the intimate ties between Druids and
Amenists. We go so far, in our writings, to say the
rites of Osiris (Ausares or Aus Ari) were probably transported to
Egypt by the Western Arya. Either his worship came with
the Megalithic Druids, or it came later with the Celtic
Scythians. We favor the former conjecture. Osiris is a
form of Herne and also of Iesa, the dying god whose
sacrifice and journey into the Underworld allegedly brought new
life to the land. Herne was referred to as the "Green
Man" and Osiris (although his title was "Lord of the
Perfect Black") was often depicted as being green of color.
To the west,
to the mansions of Osiris, To the west thou are
going. Thou who were best among men, Who did hate
the untrue - (Egyptian hymn to Osiris)
Osiris came
from the west according to myth. He was born from
the sea. He appeared as a local god in the city of
Ded in the Nile Delta. Isis was sometimes called the
goddess of the west - Henry Binkley Stein
(Thirty Thousand Gods Before Jehovah)
Furthermore, there
are similarities between the myths of Osiris and the Akkadian Tammuz and also the Irish Miach, an early
deity
connected to herbalism and nature. The connections
between the myths of Osiris and Dionysus have also been
investigated by many scholars. Additionally, there are
numerous parallels between the accounts of Osiris' life
and that of the Biblical Jesus. These have been explored
at length by several researchers and historians. The comparisons have
shown that the New Testament's resurrection story, for example, clearly originates with the Osirian saga
that can be dated to well over 2,500 years BC.
Make the King mighty in your womb. He shall not die
– (Pyramid Texts, Hymn 431)
There is no death in the Osirian religion,
only decay and change, and periodic renewal; only
evolution and transformation in the domain of matter
and the transubstantiation into spirit. In the
so-called death of Osiris it is rebirth, not death,
exactly the same as in the changes of external
nature - Gerald Massey (Ancient Egypt: The
Light of the World)
We find that the doctrine of eternal life and of the
resurrection of a glorified or transformed body,
based upon the ancient story of the resurrection of
Osiris after a cruel death and horrible mutilation,
inflicted by the powers of evil, was the same in all
periods, and that the legends of the most ancient
times were accepted without material alteration or
addition in the texts of the later dynasties. The
story of Osiris is nowhere found in a connected form
in Egyptian literature, but everywhere, and in texts
of all periods, the life, sufferings, death and
resurrection of Osiris are accepted as facts
universally admitted
– E. A. Wallis Budge (The Legend of Osiris)
Osiris was the god through whose sufferings and
death the Egyptian hoped that his body might rise
again in some transformed or glorified shape, and to
him who had conquered death and had become the king
of the other world the Egyptian appealed in prayer
for eternal life through his victory and power. In
every funeral inscription known to us, from the
pyramid texts down to the roughly written prayers
upon coffins of the Roman period, what is done for
Osiris is done also for the deceased, the state and
condition of Osiris are the state and condition of
the deceased; in a word, the deceased is identified
with Osiris. If Osiris lives forever, the deceased
will live for ever; if Osiris dies, then will the
deceased perish
- ibid
Both sagas, the Osirian and the Christian, make mention
of the heavenly abode and the heavenly being. However,
it is the
Egyptian accounts alone that make the Astro-Theological
aspects of the “story” abundantly clear to readers. The
version compiled by the Biblicists conceals and skews these
aspects. The "heaven" of Christian mythmongers is not
the night sky per se, but the angelic realm beyond human
perception. It is an unseen fanciful abode of god. However,
this adaptation does not make Christianity any less pagan in
complexion. Not in the least. Any talk of "heavens" is
Astro-Theological, regardless of the sanctimonious
propaganda that would have us believe otherwise.
You shall set me to be a magistrate among the
spirits, the Imperishable Stars in the north of the
sky
– (Pyramid Texts, Hymn 519)
You shall lay hold of the hand of the Imperishable
Stars, your bones shall not perish, your flesh shall
not sicken, O King!, your members shall not be far
from you, because you are one of the gods
– (Pyramid Texts, Hymn 412)
The king is the son of Atum and is a star. The
King's mother was pregnant with him, (even he) who
was in the Lower Sky, the King was fashioned by his
father Atum before the sky existed, before earth
existed, before men existed, before the gods were
born, before death existed
– (Pyramid Texts, Hymn 571)
Gerald Massey highlighted a key motif
within the rites of Osiris later adapted by
Christian mythmongers for their story of a
supposedly mortal Jesus. He shows that the origins of
the very word Christ can be traced to Egypt:
…in making the mummy the Egyptians were also making
the typical Christ, which is the anointed. The word
karas, kares, or karis in Egyptian signifies
embalmment, to embalm, to anoint, to make the mummy.
Kreas, creas, or chros, in Greek denotes the human
body, a person or carcase, more expressly the flesh
of it; cras, Gaelic and Irish, the body; Latin,
corpus, for a dead body; these are all preceded by
the word karas or karast, in Egyptian…Each body that
had been embalmed was KARAST, so to say, and made
into a type of immortality in the likeness of
Osiris…or Horus, the prototypal Christ
- Gerald Massey (Ancient Egypt: The Light of the
World)
...it is entirely false to represent the Egyptians
as making the mummy and preserving it for the return
of the soul into the old earthly body. That is but a
shadow of the true idea cast backwards by
Christianity
- ibid
In the same book, Massey goes further
and emphasizes that Osiris was the Christ before the
Christ. He was undisputedly one of the main models for
the New Testament's savior who died, was enclosed
in a cave, and rose again to eternal life. Again,
the solar (or Astro-Theological) symbolism of the
rite is conspicuous:
The word krs denotes the embalmment of the mummy,
and the krst, as the mummy, was made in the process
of preparation by purifying, anointing, and
embalming. To karas the dead body was to embalm it,
to bandage it, to make the mummy. The mummy was the
Osirian Corpus Christi, prepared for burial as the
laid-out dead, the karast by name. When raised to
its feet, it was the risen mummy, or sahu…Hence the
name of the Christ, Christos in Greek, Chrestus in
Latin, for the anointed, was derived…from the
Egyptian word krst…Not only is the risen mummy or
sahu called the karast, Osiris as lord of the bier
is the Neb-karast equivalent to the later Christ the
Lord…Thus the Egyptian karast was the pre-Christian
Christ, and the pictures in the Roman Catacombs
preserve the proof. The passing of the karast into
the Christ is depicted in the gnostic iconography.
It is in the form of a child bound up in the
swathings of a diminutive Egyptian mummy, with the
halo and cross of the four quarters round its head,
which show its solar origin
…that Christ the anointed is none other than the
Osiris-karast, and that the karast mummy risen to
its feet as Osiris-sahu was the prototypical Christ
The dogma of the incarnation was an Egyptian
mystery. Baptismal regeneration, transfiguration,
transubstantiation, the resurrection and ascension,
were all Egyptian mysteries
In
her book The Celestial Ship of the
North,
Mrs.
E. Valentia Straiton explained that key sections
of the New Testament were undoubtedly plagiarizations of
content from the Amenist Book of the Dead.
The Egyptian "Book of the
Dead," which is traced back to 4260 BC, years before
the writing of the New Testament, has its foundations
in the lore of the heavens and in the poetical
imagery which follows the sun through the different
signs of the zodiac. Many phrases, many headings of
the chapters of the New Testament are similar to
those in the "Book of the Dead"
Factually, the common title - Book
of the Dead - should be rendered differently. In
Egyptian the title is
Peri-em-heru that correctl |
