8. CATHEDRALS A. Symbols I. the Horned 8. CATHEDRALS So here we are, once again, back at the concept of Cathedrals and...the radical environmental movement. Specifically let’s look, once again, at the Cathedral of Saint John’s the Divine right here in Mystery, Babylon USA or New York City. So as not to re-hash old information the reader is referred to Section 3r and Appendix A of “The THEorY of LIVEvolution” for an in depth discussion of Satan umm Saint John’s. It also reared its ugly head in the Cathedrals link on the related links page of the Mystery, Babylon USA page. Additionally, it creeped, no pun intended, into some of the links on this overall discussion of our new friend RC Christian, particularly Holy Grail. And I ask the reader, once again, to bear with me as it is essentially impossible to separate some of this stuff and avoiding ‘spillover’ between subjects. Also, I come across new information all the time like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle falling in to place. Nonetheless, I will try to strike the best balance between providing enough background information along with some new insight. This section is broken down in to two topics, symbols and numbers according to the following outline: A. Symbols i. The Horned god ii. The Cap less Pyramid B. Numbers i. 7 ii. 12 iii. 18 Without further adieu let’s get right to it. A. Symbols i. The Horned god Let’s start with a little background. I’ve personally toured this American Tower of Babel on multiple occasions. Not only is it rife with all kinds of non-Christian, pagan and outright Satanic symbolism, it serves as the home of the modern eco-wacko environmental movement. Here’s a picture of the “Horned god” that appears on the grounds of this Cathedral right on Amsterdam Avenue, Mystery, Babylon USA: As far as my original book, “The THEorY of LIVEvolution” I chose not to pursue this blatant example of paganism and Satanism right on Amsterdam Avenue, Mystery, Babylon USA because I was already in information overload (not to mention way over length in page count). But now it has direct relevance to this entire discussion on RC Christian. Now here is just the plain horned god: The title of this image is ‘Baphomet’. This should sound familiar if you’ve read this series of articles in order. The Baphomet showed up in the Holy Grail link where it was associated with the head of Osiris and its worship was one of the many accusations levied against the Knights Templar by their allies turned rivals, the Catholic Church. Of course this “head of Osiris” or “Baphomet” is at the center of the whole Satanic “conspiracy” overtaking “The Late Great Planet Earth” predicted by God, the real One. But just to be sure that yours truly isn’t the “conspiracy kook” here a simple ‘Google’ search of ‘horned god’ generates a plethora of information. Then one can see the direct tie in of “the horned god” with the two main gods of Ancient Egyptian paganism, Osiris and his sidekick / sister / wife, the whore goddess Isis. A simple review of the above image reveals some startling insight in to this Satanic “conspiracy”. Let’s start from the top. There we see the flame of ILLUMINATION started by the “spark of wisdom” latent in all mankind. Of course according to Madame Blavatsky not everyone is capable of recognizing this “divine spark” especially those “savages” in places like Australia and Africa. With an outlook like this it’s no wonder she served as an inspiration to the occult minded Adolf Hitler and his “race hygiene” programs as he applied the “Theory” of Evolution in an all too literal fashion. Of course Helena Blavatsky is also the veritable godmother of the “New” Age wackos and she spilled the beans on the number of the beast 18=6+6+6 (see 322, the Georgia Guidestones and the eco wackos link on the new age page). And of course our new friend RC Christian discussed a “violet flame” ILLUMINATING the Gnosticism (The Freemasons’ ‘G’) or knowledge that man can become God, the real One. Now of course this “ILLUMINATING flame” is also represented by a certain eye on the “Great” Seal as symbolic of the “Great” Architect of the Universe (see Great One link). Do you see how all this stuff ultimately conntects? We haven’t even gotten to the horns on the so-called horned god and already he ties directly to our new friend RC Christian not to mention Satan himself. And speaking of those horns.... Besides the obvious reference to the devil’s horns of “legend” notice the five pointed star or pentagram, another symbol of blatant Satanism. Now of course the Freemasons and “New” Agers will tell us in the “imbecile majority” that they don’t worship Satan but come on...we have the Angel of Light’s flame sitting right on top of the most popular symbol of Satanism, the pentagram. Another symbol of Satan is that of a man/goat mutant. We can see this here by coupling the goat head and horns with the hoofed feet. A little further down we have female like breasts on an otherwise manly figure depicting yet another concept of Freemasonry already discussed, the combination of the male/female. This is also symbolized by the ying/yang symbol of Eastern mysticism and the black and white checkerboard pattern depicted in many Masonic symbols. And notice he’s pointing up and down symbolizing ‘both’ worlds, the physical and metaphysical or spiritual. The unification of these two worlds was discussed in the Kabalah link here. Finally, notice the two serpents twisting around a form of the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil” which is right out the Book of Genesis; albeit from the “New” Age/Freemason/Rosicrucian/Illuminati viewpoint. In this viewpoint it was a tragedy that the serpent (i.e., the devil) was punished for manipulating Adam and Eve in to pursuing this “knowledge” or “gnosticism”. And Adam and Eve’s descendants gave us the first two “Great” Societies of world history, the pre-Flood world of “Legendary” Atlantis and the post flood world of Babel and its ‘Tower of Babel’. The horned god has also been called the son of Hermes, the Greek god of wisdom who ties directly in with Isis/Osiris if not one in the same (see Thoth/Hermes/Mercury link). He is also associated the god of nature or the “Green Man”; again the concept of a nature god ties directly into Osiris. And recall from the Holy Grail link “Green Man” symbols are found throughout the Knights Templar inspired Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. But don’t take my word for it, here are some excerpts directly off a “New” Age website, paganspath.com in regards to the “horned god”: The consort of the Goddess and symbol of male energy in the form of the divine, The Horned God reigns. He is the lord of the woodlands, the hunt and animals. He provides for the tribe through the hunt and is honored or rewarded for his deed by being permitted to copulate with the Goddess through the Great Rite. The Horned God is is the lord of life, death and the underworld. And is the Sun to the Goddess' Moon. He alternates with the Goddess in ruling over the fertility cycle of birth, death and rebirth. He is born at the winter solstice, unites with the Goddess in marriage at Bealtaine, and dies at the summer solstice to bring fertility to the land as the Sacred King. (1) This is a veritable description of Osiris, the ‘archetype’ god of Ancient Egypt who, once again, ties directly to our new friend RC Christian. Here’s a little bit more to establish the outright Satanic properties of the eco wackos and their criminal masters like the former JP Morgan as this horned god sits in plain view on the grounds of the JP Morgan financed church of Satan/religious home of the eco wackos known as Saint John’s the Divine: As Osiris the Egyptian god of the lower world, he is seen as the judge of the dead. Linking him to the concept of Cernunnos as the guardian of the gate to the Other World. He is the brother of Isis, but he is also her husband. Isis as the goddess of fertility her status as the Mother is propagated by the services provided her by Osiris. Once again linking his image with that of the Horned One. As the Green Man he is the God of the woodlands and vegetation. He is also known as 'Green Jack", "Jack in the Green" and "Green George". He represents the spirits of the trees, plants and foliage who has many powers over nature that promote growth. (2) Additionally, the ‘horned god’ of the Celtic people he is described as “...guardian of the portal leading to the netherworld” and “the god of Hell” making him essentially synonymous with Odin, another archetype tied directly to RC Christian (see Odin/Quetzalcoatl the Return of THEM link). So let’s sum up: Horned god = Osiris = Odin = Buddha = Quetzalcoatl = Green Man = god of the Knights Templar = RC Christian = Lucifer/Satan = contrary to Jesus Christ, the real One or “anti-Christ” ii. The Cap less Pyramid Also, Saint John’s the Divine’s cap less pyramid occupies the front cover of “The THEorY of LIVEvolution” reproduced here for convenience: It has been alluded to many times the concept of the cap less pyramid and the “All Seeing Eye” of Osiris having its roots in Ancient Egyptian paganism as well as serving as perhaps the most utilized symbol of Freemasonry.

Rebecca Short 24 September 2012 Professor Greta Austin The Methodology of Resistance in Contemporary NeoPagan Culture The number of adherents of NeoPaganism is one of the fastest growing, doubling in numbers about every eighteen months. 1 NeoPaganism is a set of several religious traditions and spiritualities that seek to either (1) painstakingly reconstruct the indigenous religions of the Christianized world, especially those of Europe, or (2) reinterpret these religions in the contemporary era to formulate new religious traditions. Reconstructionist NeoPagan traditions include Asatru , a Norse Reconstructionist path, and Hellenismos , a Greek Reconstructionist religion. More contemporary, eclectic, new religious movements include Wicca, a tradition of religious witchcraft born out of the ancient Hermetic school of spirituality and magic practice. Wicca is by far the most popular tradition (or, now, set of traditions) in all of NeoPaganism. This religious tradition was started by a man named Gerald Gardner in 1950s England.

  • An Elusive Roebuck Luciferianism and Paganism in Robert Cochrane’S Witchcraft
    Correspondences 1.1 (2013) 75–101 ISSN 2053-7158 (Online) correspondencesjournal.com An Elusive Roebuck Luciferianism and Paganism in Robert Cochrane’s Witchcraft Ethan Doyle White E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://ethandoylewhite.blogspot.com Abstract The English occultist Robert Cochrane (1931–1966) has remained an enigmatic figure ever since his death under mysterious circumstances almost fifty years ago. The Magister of a coven known as the Clan of Tubal Cain, Cochrane was a co-founder of Cochranian Witchcraft and a vocal critic of Gerald Gardner (1884–1964) and mainstream elements of the Wiccan movement. Cochrane’s legacy is today evident in a variety of contemporary magico-religious groups, including the rejuvenated Clan, the 1734 tradition and the wider “Traditional Witchcraft” current of Western esotericism. Recent academic thought has maintained that Cochrane’s tradition was a form of contemporary Paganism akin to that of Gardner, although this has not gone unchallenged; in recent years, Cochrane’s successor Shani Oates (1959–) has argued that Cochranianism is not a tradition of the Pagan Craft, but should instead be understood as a Luciferian and Gnostic spiritual path quite distinct from contemporary Paganism. In this article, the author endeavours to explore this complicated issue, using both historical textual sources and information obtained from oral histories. Keywords Traditional Witchcraft; Robert Cochrane; Luciferianism; Contemporary Paganism; Contemporary Witchcraft Introduction © 2013 Ethan Doyle

There is a great deal of debate concerning this matter, which does not look to be reconciled any time soon, and many, scholars included, are wont to use these terms interchangeably. It does not help that in many cases there is no single specific definition accepted by both groups, as in the case of Wicca; or that the official dictionary definition is outdated and reflects a quite clearly Christian bias. For example, the Oxford English Dictionary defines a ‘pagan’ as “heathen; unenlightened or irreligious”. One can see immediately how offensive, not to mention inaccurate, such a description would seem to pagans, who are neither unenlightened nor irreligious. In general, one must look at the context in which the word is used to determine its meaning.
