Many are running to and fro seeking a firm founda- tion on which to erect their Temple of Truth. These are the days foretold by the prophet Amos: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord."1It takes but little insight to see in present day conditions the literal fulfillment of the prophecy: "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall de- ceive many. * ** Then if any man shallsay unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it t.' But that we may not be deceived there, must be some firm foundation on which we can rest assured and build. Where shall this be found? This is the ques- tion which this volume seeks to answer through the interpretation of the spiritual meanins of the un- changing symbols banded down to mankind in the only exact science, numbers.It does not profess to be the 1 and only Book of Wisdom, the only true and satisfy- ing solution of the world's problems, but it does strive to set forth an exposition of the framework on which the cosmic philosophy of the ancient Wisdom Religion was based (subject to the human limitations of the transmitting personalities), together with such inspi- rational Light as has been vouchsafed to the authors, who make no claim to aught save the office of trans.. initters and distributors of the spiritual food especially stored and preserved in the storehouse of the King, in readiness for this time of famine. Today many are striving to appease this Soul-bun'. ger. Many well-intentioned teachers who have had a 'Amos. viii. 11. 'SS. Uattkmo zziy, 5-23. x Foreword realization of a phase of Truth strive to fill the need, but because they have not a cosmic and all-inclusive philosophy, they can give but a few crumbs to an hun- gry 1 here and there, while the great massthose who are not content to take any single phase of Truth still seek, hungering, starving or feeding on the husks of materialistic conceptions.Others, in an effort to be less personal, are telling the hungry ones to cease seeking for help from teachers and look only to the Within. In fact, we have in our hands a little circular which voices, in the following words, the note of almost universal despair and disappointment with teachers: "To you, who thought you had found in some great teacher, who was perhaps the acknowledged head of some Society, Fraternity or Religion, and who ap- peared to you to be a 'Master,' so marvelous was the wisdom he taught and the works he performed; only to awaken later to the realization that that 'Master' was but a human personality, with faults and weak- nesses, and secret sins, the same as you, even tho' that personality may have been a channel thru which was voiced many beautiful teachings, which seemed to you the highest 'Truth.'*** To you, I AM come. *** For I AM your real Teacher, *** and the only MASTER." This idea that all wisdom, comfort and help can be found within iS but a further fulfillment of the proph- ecy as given in St. Matthew (xxiv, 26): "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert [of mere intellectual learning]; go not forth: behold, be is in the secret chambers [the Within]; believe it not."Here we find the 2 opposite poles of teaching, as common in the days of the Apostles as today, antici- pated and provided for. Where then shall we find rest, peace and spiritual food? Foreword xi Dear Reader, long ere the famine was sent into the land the preparation for it was made. Joseph was sent into the darkness of Egypt to prepare for the 7 years of famine by gathering up the over-plus of corn and wine during the 7 years of plenty, and preserving them in the King's granaries and storehouses, so that when the lean years came there should be food a-plenty for all who asked it of the King. So the Spiritual Teachers of the Race, the Masters of Wisdom and Elder Broth- ers of humanity, have for our sakes dwelt in Egypt that They might store up in the granaries of the King of Kings the spiritual philosophy which alone can bring satisfaction when the days of famine of the Word are upon us. They it is who have marked out the Way which leads direct to the storehouse of the King of Kings. Think you in the days of famine in Egypt, those who came seeking the food so lavishly furnished them by Joseph caviled at his personality? Did they say, "This man is a Canaanite. He has served time in prison. He has been sold as a slave. He is but human like ourselves, with faults and weaknesses and secret sins, even as we ourselves. He cannot feed us. We will have none of him. The same God who gave him the forethought to store up the corn and wine is our God. We will find Him within, and He shall feed us, for all things are ours?"It is obvious that such an 1 would have gone hungry and been forced to prove the fallacy of his doctrine. And so must it ever be.For while the I AM is The Christ within every Soul, there is no greater sinif by sin we mean mistakethan the great "heresy of separateness."It takes all humanity to complete the expression of the Divine, hence, since the wisdom of no 1 man has ever evolved a completc science or formulated a philosophy without the aid of his predecessors, so no 1 Soul can unaided find the xii Foreword whole Truth within himself.All a Soul can find within is its own Truth, the Truth that shall make it free. The voice of The Christ within giveth testimony unto Truth, i. e., the I AM tells us unmistakably what is Truth and what is not.Also it should be remem- bered that all Truth comes to man through an human intellect, either through your own or that of another, while the I AM .itn ply knows and recognizes Truth, witnesses to and affirms it.Therefore, as long as we listen to this Voice within no personality, teacher or teaching can deceive or disappoint us; for we will "take, eat" only from The Christ the bread that He has broken and given to His disciples to be distjibuted to the multitude; we will drink only from the Cup that He has blessed and filled with His own spiritual life-force.This is the basis on which we ask you to consider the teachings of this volume.If you hear the assenting Voice within or feel the thrill of Truth confirmed, then partake of it to the upbuilding of your spiritual life.If not, then pass it by until a riper understanding reveals it to you.

Composed at Metron Publications. Published by METRON PUBLICATIONS, P.O.BOX 1213, PRINCETON, N.]. 08542, U.S.A. 3 for Shirley, ".....the sweetest flower of all the field," and for Susan Q-CD vol 12: KA, Introduction 4 INTRODUCTION SOME years ago, at my suggestion, Hugh Crosthwaite commenced this major work. Its first pages appeared in the mails as parts of personal letters. He called them notes. They were notes, yes, but like the "toying at the piano keys" of a maestro, they possessed authenticity, reflected a great repertoire, and hit upon original meanings in every direction a tone was struck. The notes began to modulate into cultures and tongues other than the classic Greek as the research continued. I should be remembered, perhaps, for not having said to him, "Please cease to send me your notes and compose instead a proper monograph: thesis, proof, basta." Rather, as the messages kept coming, I redefined for myself, and I hope for hundreds of readers to come, the relation of form to value. The author carries, among other traits characteristic of English scholarship at its best, the famed stubborn empiricism that has so often been the despair of theorists and philosophers such as myself.

  • The Pythias Excerpted from Secret History of the Witches © 2009 Max Dashu
    The Pythias excerpted from Secret History of the Witches © 2009 Max Dashu I count the grains of sand on the beach and measure the sea I understand the speech of the mute and hear the voiceless —Delphic Oracle [Herodotus, I, 47] In the center of the world, a fissure opened from the black depths of Earth, and waters flowed from a spring. The place was called Delphoi (“Womb”). In its cave sanctuary lived a shamanic priestess called the Pythia—Serpent Woman. Her prophetic power came from a she-dragon in the Castalian spring, whose waters had inspirational qualities. She sat on a tripod, breathing vapors that emerged from a deep cleft in the Earth, until she entered trance and prophesied by chanting in verse. The shrine was sacred to the indigenous Aegean earth goddess. The Greeks called her Ge, and later Gaia. Earth was said to have been the first Delphic priestess. [Pindar, fr. 55; Euripides, Iphigenia in Taurus, 1234-83. This idea of Earth as the original oracle and source of prophecy was widespread. The Eumenides play begins with a Pythia intoning, “First in my prayer I call on Earth, primeval prophetess...” [Harrison, 385] Ancient Greek tradition held that there had once been an oracle of Earth at the Gaeion in Olympia, but it had disappeared by the 2nd century. [Pausanias, 10.5.5; Frazer on Apollodorus, note, 10] The oracular cave of Aegira, with its very old wooden image of Broad-bosomed Ge, belonged to Earth too. [Pliny, Natural History 28. 147; Pausanias 7, 25] Entranced priestess dancing with wand, circa 1500 BCE.

Au début des études que nous consacrons à l'histoire de la femme, nous avions annoncé le dessein de retracer le rôle que remplit notre sexe dans l'antiquité orientale tout entière. En travaillant à l'exécution de ce plan, nous avons cru devoir le modifier, et nous avons jugé plus utile de suivre la femme chez ceux des peuples anciens qui ont exercé une action directe sur la civilisation moderne. La Femme dans l'Inde antique nous montrant aux temps védiques ce que fut notre sexe chez les Aryâs nos ancêtres, se rattachait à nos origines de race ; La Femme biblique rappelait nos origines religieuses. Quittant alors l'Orient, nous avons résolu d'écrire sur La Femme grecque et sur La Femme romaine , deux ouvrages qui se rapporteraient ainsi à nos origines sociales. Tous ces volumes formeront le préambule d'un livre où, s'il plaît à Dieu, nous étudierons l'histoire de notre sexe en France, depuis l'époque gauloise jusqu'à nos jours.

  • Delphi and Beyond: an Examination Into the Role of Oracular Centres Within Mainland Gr Ee Ce
    Delphi and Beyond: An Examination into the Role of Oracular Centres Within Mainland Gr ee ce by Jamie Andrew Potte r A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand August 2010 ii Abstract The Delphic Oracle stands as one of the most prestigious sanctuaries in the Greek landscape and certainly as the most reputable oracular centre in the region. In contrast, few other oracular centres made even a slight mark on Greece’s long and illustrious history. This study considers not only the possible reasons behind Delphi’s spectacular rise to power, but also what the factors may have been that prevented other oracular sites from successfully challenging Delphi’s supremacy. The sites considered in this study are restricted to those found in mainland Greece: five oracles in Boiotia; four in Achaia; three each in Phokis and Laconia; two in Thessaly, Epirus and the Argolid and one each in Elis, Corinthia and Thrace. Based on archaeological and epigraphic evidence, supported through reference to literary sources, this study finds that there were four key factors in determining whether an oracular site’s reputation would spread beyond its local community: the oracle’s age, location, oracular deity and its method of consultation. As this study shows, in all these factors, Delphi had (or was promoted as having) a clear advantage. iii Preface The task of writing a thesis is both challenging and rewarding, and something that should not be attempted without the support of friends and colleagues. I would thus like to thank all those who have provided welcome assistance throughout this process.

    RAYMOND V. SCHODER, S.J. (1916-1987) Classical Studies Department "Ancient Greece from the Air" Slides 931 slides Ace. No. 89-15 Computer Name: SCHODER.GRE 7 Meta I Slide Boxes Location: I8C In August 1962, August 1967, and June of 1968 Fr. Raymond V. Schader, S.J., photographed ancient Greek archeological sites from the air. Most of these photographs were taken through the open door of a DC3 plane piloted by and belonging to the Hellenic Air Force. Of these photographs 140 were published in Wings over Hcllas: Ancient Greece from the Air by Raymond V. Schader, S.J. (New York: Oxford University Press, 1974). 1 In the introduction to his work Fr. Schader explains the procedures employed in taking these photographs and the aim which motivated him: to present all important excavated sites of ancient Greece, both mainland and islands and from Minoan to Roman times, from this advantageous point of view as a new aid to archeology and to historical studies as well as to visitors to the sites .... Only ancient sites are included, though many medieval centres are also meaningful from the air and I have photographed them also. The photographic slides taken by Fr. Schoder during this project make up the bulk of the collection of slides listed below. Although ancient ruins arc the predominant subject of the slides, there are several slides depicting contemporary cities from above. Interesting to note arc the first three slides showing the technique which Fr. Schader used to photograph from the air. The slides arc maintained numerically in the order in which they were transferred to the Archives.
