Baphomet: The Severed Head That Wouldn’t Die

Dagobert’s Revenge Magazine – Article


Friday the 13th, October, 1307 – a dreadful day. Especially if you happened to be a Templar Knight. For on that dreadful day, just as the sun was rising, King Philip IV’s seneschals descended upon all of the order’s French holdings, arresting the members and seizing their property. He had owed them a lot of money and he had hoped to get his hands on the rumored Templar treasure that had made them fabulously rich. But they had been forewarned, and had moved the treasure, along, perhaps, with some mystical artifacts, to their preceptories in Scotland, where the atmosphere was much more pleasant. With the assistance of Pope Clement V, his so-called “puppet”, King Philip had the knights tortured and executed by the Inquisition. They were accused, among other things, of heresy, necromancy, homosexual practices, and conducting a bizarre ritual that involved spitting on, defecating on, or in some way desecrating the cross (which, if true, is perhaps evidence that they did not believe in the crucifixion.) Under extreme physical duress, most confessed. In fact, many of their confessions were remarkably similar in detail. By far the most popular theme, however, is the worship of an idol called “Baphomet.” Sometimes described as a cat or a goat that gets its anus ritually kissed, Baphomet was most often referred to as a severed head. A list of charges drawn up by the Inquisition on August 12th, 1308 reads:

    Item, that in each province they had idols, namely heads. Item, that they adored these idols. Item, that they said that the head could save them. Item, that it could make riches. Item, that it could make the trees flower. Item, that it made the land germinate. Item, that they surrounded or touched each head of the aforesaid idol with small cords, which they wore around themselves next to the shirt or the flesh.

In light of the probability that these charges were true, it would bid us well to examine the possible origins and meanings of the famous Dread Head.

Where did it come from?

The Templar legends regarding this are numerous and confusing. Some said it was a man’s head, or a woman’s head, that it was bearded, or unbearded, that it was made of glass or crystal, and that it had two faces. A popular tale held that it was the head of the Templar’s first Grand Master, Hughes de Payens. Others said that it was made of gold and called “Caput LVIIIc”, meaning “Head 58.” One story that kept popping up in several confessions says that a Templar called “The Lord of Sidon” was in love with a young woman named Yse (possibly derived from “Isis”) who died suddenly, so on the night of her burial, he dug up her body and copulated with it. 9 months later a voice “from the Void” told him to go back to the grave, where he would find his son. There he discovered a head resting on a pair of legbones (perhaps the origin of the Templar’s famous “skull & crossbones” symbol.) The voice told him that if he was careful to guard the head, it would be “the giver of all things.” He took it with him and for the rest of his days it protected him. Later on the Templar order got a hold of it and incorporated it into their rituals.

Islamic Origins

A common claim by historians is that the name “Baphomet” was derived from “Mahomet” an Old French corruption of the name of the prophet Muhammad. Others have said it comes from the Arabic word “abufihamet”, meaning “Father of Understanding.” Whatever the specific derivation, the idea that the Baphomet legend was influenced by Islam is quite logical. The Templars were known to have cavorted with Sufis and other unorthodox Muslims while stationed in the Middle East, as well as in Spain and perhaps even Jerusalem, where they were supposed to be fighting the “infidel” during the Crusades. This would have given them ample opportunity to pass on the legend of Baphomet, if not the actual item. In his book The Sufis, Idries Shah argues that Baphomet was really the head of a mystic revered by a number of Sufi sects called Hallaj, who was executed for testifying about his spiritual experiences. After he got decapitated, the Caliph’s Queen Mother had the head embalmed, and it later came into the possession of certain Sufi masters, who revered it for its magical powers. Shah claims that Hallaj, a “son of a widow” was not only Baphomet but also the model for the Masonic rites of Hiram Abiff. He, of course, was the architect of Solomon’s Temple who was killed by his underlings with three ceremonious blows to the head for not revealing the secret words, grips and signs of a Master Mason.

Wisdom

In Holy Blood, Holy Grail the authors point out that when run through a certain qabbalistic cipher known as Atbash, the word “Baphomet” renders “Sophia”, the name of the Greek Goddess of Wisdom. This makes sense, for the Templars were known to be the keepers of an ancient “wisdom tradition”, and a logical representation of wisdom is the human head. Interestingly, Aliester Crowley, who adopted the name “Baphomet” upon joining the Ordo Templi Orientis, believed the name to derive from two Greek words put together meaning “baptism of wisdom” or “absorption into wisdom.” Indeed, the experience of “absorption into wisdom” could be considered an ego death, and the skull & crossbones became a well-known symbol for death.

Bran the Blessed

Elements of the Baphomet story are quite obviously Celtic in origin. The Celts believed that the soul resided in the head, and therefore they would sever the heads of their enemies and preserve them as magical talismans. The most well-known severed head among the Celts is that of the legendary giant Bran the Blessed, which is said to be buried outside London, facing France. It was put there to ward off the plague, ensure fertility and protect the city from foreign invasion. Similar powers are also attributed to the head of the Green Man, the Celtic fertility God discussed in the article “If it isn’t Scottish, it’s Crap.”

Levi’s Baphomet

Baphomet was sometimes described by the tortured Templars as having a human form with wings, cloven feet, and the head of a goat. From this came the 19th century occultist Eliphas Levi’s well-known depiction of Baphomet, now incorporated into the Waite tarot deck as “The Devil.” This popular image, sometimes referred to as “The Sabbatic Goat”, was made to embody symbols of conflicting dualities. Thus the beast bears the breasts of a woman and the organs of a man, and is poised between the waxing and waning moon symbols with his right and left hands pointing up and down, respectively. Levi, who was obsessed with dualities, was the first occultist to come up with the idea of “good” (upward-pointing) and “evil”(downward pointing) pentagrams, and his version of the “evil” pentagram included Baphomet’s goat face super-imposed onto it, from whence came the “Sign of Baphomet” used by Satanist Anton LeVey. Levi believed Baphomet to be the symbolic form of the absolute supreme being, and claimed that all occultists, including Templars and Freemasons, actually worshipped the Baphomet. He even believed that the name “Baphomet” was a code for Solomon’s Temple, because if you spell it backwards you get the letters: “TEM-OH-AB”, which he said stood for: “Templi omnivm hominum pacis abbas”, meaning “The Father of the Temple of Peace of All Men.” Despite this, Levi’s characterization of the Baphomet led to the popular conception of the Devil as we know him today, and gave fodder to the theories that Freemasonry is Satanic.

Dead But Dreaming: The Great Old Ones of Lovecraftian Legend Reinterpreted as Sumerian/Atlantean Kings

Dagobert’s Revenge Magazine – Article Dead But Dreaming: The Great Old Ones of Lovecraftian Legend Reinterpreted as Sumerian/Atlantean Kings


The Secret Doctrine given to the elite castes of mankind by the Nephilim or the “Annunaki”, the gods of ancient Sumeria and Atlantis, has been passed down through the ages, not only to the Masons, Templars, Rosicrucians, and other fraternal orders which perpetuate the tradition, but also to the teenage geeks and D & D “gamers” of today via the Lovecraft/Necronomicon lore, which has given birth to a cornucopia of role-playing and computer games, in much the same way that Monty Python and the Society for Creative Anachronism have kept alive the Grail myth for these same teenagers. The fact that S.C.A.’s membership correlates strongly with participation in Lovecraftian role-playing games is no coincidence, for the “demons” of the “Cthulhu Mythos” as its called, are the same as the gods of Ancient Sumer, and the fallen angels who spawned the Grail family. The “Grail Blood” and the “bloodline of the Great Old Ones” are the same thing. They are also the same as the sea-monsters such as Leviathan and Dagon, the “Lords of the Deep” and gods of the “Underworld” or Abyss recorded in the legends of every ancient culture.It takes only a cursory examination of H.P. Lovecraft’s most quintessential work, “The Call of Cthulhu” to see that the entire system of mythology upon which his story is based comes from the Book of Enoch, the Nephilim story in Genesis, and the universal tale of the fall of Atlantis. In this story, Lovecraft’s main character finds a strange carved idol in his grand-uncle’s affects, its appearance described as that of, “an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature… scaly body, rudimentary wings.” The discovery of this idol leads to his investigation and uncovering of a sinister, age-old “Cult of Cthulhu (the name of the idol)”, which worshipped the creature represented by the idol, and the entire race of demons from which he had come. The description of the idol bears a striking resemblance to the descriptions of the Sumerian god-king Enki, also known as Dagon or Oannes, a half-human, half-fish combination who was known as the “Lord of the Flood”, and was said to rise out of the sea every day to teach his secret knowledge to those who followed him. He is mentioned in Samuel, Chapter 5, when the Philistines capture the Ark of the Covenant and place it in the Temple of Dagon. Two nights later, “Dagon was fallen upon is face to the ground before the Ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.” It is this character upon which Satan or Lucifer is based, but the physical description attributed to him applied to an entire race of “gods”, or as they were described in the Bible, Nephilim, or Fallen Angels, the “Great Old Ones”, as Lovecraft calls them. The Watchers, “those who were cast down”, are described in the Book of Enoch literally as stars that descended to Earth. Cthulhu is also described with wings, another attribute of the Nephilim, who, according to our research, were real flesh-and-blood beings, and ruled as the antediluvian kings of the ancient world over a global kingdom whose capitol was Atlantis. As they were an expert sea-faring people – navigators – they were also depicted as sea gods, half-man, half-fish, and with the horns of a goat. The fact that the city which Lovecraft’s “Great Old Ones” ruled over was Atlantis is quite clear, as the city, called “R’lyeh” in the story, is covered with what Lovecraft describes as “Cyclopean” architecture, the same word used by Ignatius Donnelly to describe the architecture of Atlantis. Lovecraft’s descriptions paint a picture of multi-dimensional, non-Euclidean angles, as if they existed in a space-time different than ours, perhaps in an “otherworld” somewhere in between the planes of heaven and earth. They are described as grand and mighty creatures, with a moral creed similar to that of Aleister Crowley’s “Do What Thou Wilt”, and they trounced on all those weaker than them, bringing destruction to the Earth, devouring every living thing. This is exactly the behavior that is ascribed to the sons of the Watchers, or Nephilim, the Giants who wrought havoc upon the World, oppressed and devoured all of the gods’ living creation to feed their own voracious appetites. Because of the pride and destructive behavior of the Great Old Ones, their empire city, R’lyeh, sank beneath the ocean in some punishment by natural disaster mercifully imposed by God. This is exactly what is said to have happened to the island kingdom of Atlantis, which also sank because of the pride of its inhabitants. It is also what is said about the Nephilim in the Bible, who, along with their offspring, are destroyed by god via the Flood of Noah. The fact that the Great Old Ones are lead by a being called “Cthulhu” is significant, for “Thule” is another name for Atlantis, and the Nazis believed that it was literally located inside the Earth, in the “Underworld”, in which was located the city of “Agartha” or “Agade”, the Abode of the Gods. The Hollow Earth, or Underworld seems to be the place where R’lyeh ultimately sank to, where Cthulhu and the rest of the Great Old Ones now remain, sleeping in their watery tomb, “Dead but dreaming”, as Lovecraft now describes it, waiting for the day when they will awaken, their city rise from the waves, and their empire shall once again hold dominion over the whole earth. This echoes the story of the Watchers or the Nephilim, who are imprisoned by God inside the Earth, or “the Abyss”, which was a word used by the Ancients to describe the ocean. The theme of the subterranean Lord, imprisoned in the Underworld, who will one day awaken from his death-like slumber to reclaim his kingdom is, as we have established in other articles, a very common archetype, most notable in the form of Kronos, called “The Forgotten Father” and “The Hidden One”, the leader of the Titans, and the king of Atlantis, whose kingdom was cast down into the Abyss, and who was imprisoned therein, thereafter known as the Dark Lord of the Underworld. And there is clearly an etymological connection between “Titan” and “Teitan”, otherwise spelled “Satan.” The Titans, or Satans, and the Nephilim are clearly the same as the Great Old Ones, and Kronos, otherwise known as Saturn, or Satan, is clearly the same as Cthulhu. As we have established, he is also synonymous with Dagon or Oannes, who is referred to in the Bible as Leviathan, the beast who will rise from the sea at the Apocalypse. The return of Cthulhu, the Great Old Ones, and the city of R’lyeh would appear to be Lovecraft’s way of depicting the Apocalypse.

Confirmation of the above conclusions can be found by examining quotations from Lovecraft’s manuscript, the implications of which, in light of what we have just said, will be self-explanatory. When the main character in “The Call of Cthulhu” manages to interview an actual member of the Cthulhu Cult to divine their beliefs, the descriptions that follow parallel precisely the tales of the Nephilim, the Titans, and the war in Heaven between God and Lucifer, as well as the fall of the Atlantean empire.

“They worshipped, so they said, the Great Old Ones, who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky. These old ones were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets to the first man, who formed a cult which had never died. This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in the distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the Great Priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R’lyeh under the waters should rise and bring the Earth again under his sway. Some day he would call, when the stars were ready, and the secret cult would always be ready to liberate him. Meanwhile, no more must be told. There was a secret which even torture could not extract. Mankind was not absolutely alone amongst the conscious things of the Earth, for shapes came out of the dark to visit the faithful few. But these were not the Great Old Ones. No man had ever seen the Old Ones. The carven symbol was great Cthulhu, but none might say whether or not the others were precisely like him. No one could read the old writing now, but things were told by word of mouth. The chanted ritual was not the secret – that was never spoken aloud, only whispered. The chant meant only this: ‘In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.”

This clearly describes the secret Luciferian doctrine of the gods being transmitted to their offspring, “the first man”, just as the serpent did for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They created a covenant with that man, and a cult of magick, of ritual and sacrifice, in order to preserve their infernal secrets, one of which is so secret that it could not be talked about, only whispered, as they’ve done in the rites of Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, the Templars, the Greek and Egyptian mystery schools, the Sufis, the Assassins, and countless other secret occult orders, which Lovecraft was no doubt alluding to when he referred to the “cult which had never died… had always existed, and always would exist”, preserving the teachings of the “Forgotten Father” until such time as he should rise again from the sea to once more rule the Earth. The connections to Leviathan and the rise of the Anti-Christ don’t even need to be repeated. Lovecraft’s description goes on:

“Old Castro remembered bits of hideous legend that pales the speculations of Theosophists and made man and the world seem recent and transient indeed. There had been eons when other things ruled on the Earth, and they had had great cities. Remains of them, he said the deathless Chinaman had told him, were still to be found as Cyclopean stones on islands in the Pacific. They all died vast epochs of time before man came, but there were arts which could revive them when the stars had come round again to the right positions in the cycle of eternity. They had indeed come themselves from the stars, and brought their images with them.”

Lovecraft, like Enoch, and like ancient man himself, conceived of the ancient Atlantean gods or Nephilim as possessing supernatural power, and, like Enoch, says that this power comes from the stars, that these beings in fact had come from the stars themselves, and seemed to be metaphysically affected by the movement of the stars, being able to resurrect from the dead only when the stars were in a certain position.Likewise, the Atlantean god-kings purposely associated themselves with the stars and the planets, taking on the personifications of planets and constellations, each of which had a particular “energy” or “plain of existence” associated with it. This energy could be further manipulated by the prayers and rituals of the cult members who are loyal tot he Great Old Ones, and wish to see their kingdom rise again, in much the same way that Masons, Rosicrucians and other occultists today perform rituals in hope of bringing about the “Great Work” called the “New World Order”, a new Golden Age just like the one that covered the Antediluvian world when the Atlantean god-kings (whom they revere) ruled over the Earth directly. The Eye in the Pyramid on our dollar bill, which represents the New World Order, is clearly a symbol of this newly-risen kingdom of Atlantis, “watched over ” (as in “the Watchers”) by the All-Seeing Eye, which could just as easily be the eye of Dagon, or Leviathan, or Cthulhu. It even looks reptilian, like it belongs on the face of a dragon.

The rise of R’lyeh, the New World Order, the New Atlantis, the New Jerusalem, the Golden Age, and even the Apocalypse – these are all terms for the same resurrection of the ancient global kingdom of the gods. Such a resurrection is also described in Aleister Crowley’s The Book of the Law when he writes about the coming “Age of Horus” and the return of the rule of the gods, as well as their offspring, the human “kings”:

“Ye shall see them at rule, at victorious armies, at all the joy… love one another with burning hearts, on the low men trample in the fierce lust of your pride, in the day of your wrath… Trample down the Heathen; be upon them, O warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat.”

Now read the following passage from “The Call of Cthulhu” and compare:

“Then, whispered Castro, those first men formed the cult around small idols which the Great Old Ones showed them; idols brought in dim eras from dark stars. That cult would never die ’til the stars came right again, and the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from his tomb to revive His subjects and resume his rule of Earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom. Meanwhile, the cult, by appropriate rites, must keep alive the memory of those ancient ways and shadow forth the prophecy of their return.

This age of the glorious rule of the Old Ones, and the land which they ruled over, is so similar to Atlantis, Thule, Lemuria, and all of the other mythical lost civilizations as to be blatantly obvious, and it is clear that it is the Biblical deluge that puts an end to their kingdom. We read:

“In the elder time chosen men had talked with the entombed Old Ones in dreams, but then something had happened. The great stone city R’lyeh, with its monoliths and sepulchers, had sunk beneath the waves; and the deep waters, full of the one primal mystery through which not even thought can pass, had cut off the spectral intercourse. But memory never died, and the high priests said that the city would rise again when the stars were right. Then came out of the Earth the black spirits of the earth, moldy and shadowy, and full of dim rumors picked up in caverns beneath forgotten sea-bottoms. But of them old Castro dared not speak much.”

It is interesting that the ocean is said to be “full of the one primal mystery through which not even thought can pass”, because to the priest-kings of Atlantis, and the cult that followed them, the element of water itself is revered seemingly because of this metaphysical power. If it truly acts as a barrier for psychic thought waves, then if the Earth was ever covered in a “Firmament” of water, as the Bible says it was, it would have performed the same function.The climax of Lovecraft’s story comes when the main character reads an account of his uncle’s death in a fishing boat off the coast of Australia. They had come across a monolith sticking out of the ocean, which turned out to be resting on top of a mountain that was poking out of the water, upon which they landed their boat. There they discovered a strange sunken city built with “Cyclopean”, non-Euclidean architecture. It was an earthquake that had brought the top of the city to the surface, where Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones were entombed. Their presence awakened Cthulhu, who oozed out of the mountain, dripping green slime, and presumably killed the whole crew.

Similar themes are touched upon in Lovecraft’s other work. In “At the Mountains of Madness”, he returns to the theme of discovering the lost city of the Old Ones, this time set in Antarctica, which, as the Nazis and many others believed, was the location of one of the largest entrances to the Hollow Earth. In this story, none of the continents had drifted apart yet, so all of the Earth’s land was basically Antarctica. In “The Nameless City”, he delves explicitly into the Hollow Earth, describing the discovery of a subterranean passage filled with the caskets of dead reptilian bodies, who had obviously, at one time, lived inside the Earth. And finally, in “Dagon”, Lovecraft tells the tale of a shipwrecked man who finds himself stuck in a “slimy expanse of hellish black mire”, which had been unearthed when “through some unprecedented volcanic upheaval, a portion of the ocean floor must have been thrown to the surface, exposing regions which for innumerable millions of years had lain hidden under unfathomable watery depths.” This is clearly another reference to the recurring theme in Lovecraft’s work of the sunken city of Atlantis rising from the ocean, which as we have established, is also a common theme in world mythology. One is reminded of the final scene in the box office hit, The Abyss. There also seems to be an allusion to the Hollow Earth and its black sun when Lovecraft writes, “The sun was blazing down from a sky which seemed to me almost black in its cloudless cruelty”, and then later, when he described walking through this once sunken, newly arisen land, likening it to Hell. “Through my terror ran curious reminiscences of Paradise Lost”, he writes, “and Satan’s hideous climb through the unfashioned realms of Darkness.” There he discovers a white monolith covered with hieroglyphs.

“The writing was in a system of heiroglyphics unknown to me, and unlike anything I had even seen in books, consisting for the most part of conventional aquatic symbols, such as fishes, eels, octopi, crustaceans, mollusks, whales, and the like. Several characters obviously represented marine things which are unknown to the modern world, but whose decomposing forms I had observed on the ocean-risen plain.”

Clearly, then, what this character has discovered are the remains of a high civilization of sea-faring, ocean-obsessed people, which is exactly what Atlantis is described as being, and why their kings, or “gods” were depicted as half-man, half-fish. Lovecraft continues:

“Plainly visible across the intervening water on account of their enormous size was an array of bas-reliefs whose objects would have excited the envy of Dor�. I think that these were supposed to depict men – at least, a certain sort of men; though the creatures were shown disporting like fishes in the waters of some marine grotto or paying homage at some monolithic shrine that appeared under the waves as well. They were damnably human in general outline, despite webbed hands and feet, shockingly wide and flabby lips, glossy, bulging eyes, and other features less pleasant to recall.”

It is at this point that our narrator espies with his own eyes one of these creatures – not a bas-relief, but the real thing. “Vast, Polyphemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmare to the monolith about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, the while it bowed its hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds. It think I went mad then.”When the character awakes, he is in a hospital bed in San Francisco, safe and sound, but not of sound mind,. Disturbed by his memories, he consults “a celebrated ethnologist, and amused him with peculiar suggestions regarding the ancient Philistine legend of Dagon, the Fish-God.” Clearly, the character believes that it was Dagon himself, or one of his horde, whom he witnessed that faithful night. And as we have previously established, Dagon, one of the kings of Atlantis, was the same as Poseidon, Kronos, Oannes, Enki, and therefore Satan. He was one of the Nephilim, Watchers, or Fallen Angels upon which Lovecraft’s “Great Old Ones” are based. And of course, in keeping with the theme, the character in this story believes that they will one day return to once more hold dominion over the Earth.

“I dream of a day when they may rise above the bellows to drag down, in their reeking talons, the remnants of puny, war-exhausted mankind – of a day when the land shall sink, and the dark ocean floor shall ascend amidst universal pandemonium.”

The themes alluded to in Lovecraft’s work were taken to their utmost logical conclusion by the authors and editors of The Necronomicon, based on the imaginary grimoire that Lovecraft wrote of repeatedly in connection to Cthulhu and the Old Ones, a book of black magic with spells aimed at causing the sunken city of R’lyeh to rise again, and the “dead but dreaming” Old Ones to awaken from their slumber. The Necronomicon, published by Avon books, purports to be that very grimoire, “the most dangerous Black Book known to the Western World.” Although from reading it and the silly portentous warnings that fill the introduction (attempting to scare away the casual practitioner from meddling with forces so dangerous) it is hard to believe that this is, verbatim, an ancient text, it does appear to be based largely on genuine texts. As the Editor, L.K. Barnes explains:

“The Necronomicon is, according to Lovecraft’s tales, a volume written in Damascus in the Eighth Century, A.D., by a person called the “Mad Arab”, Abdul Alhazred. It must run roughly 800 pages in length, as there is a reference in one of the stories concerning some lacunae on a page in the 700’s It had been copied and reprinted in various languages – the story goes – among them Latin, Greek and English. Doctor Dee, the Magus of Elizabethan fame, was supposed to have possessed a copy and translated it. This book, according to the mythos, contains the formulae for evoking incredible things into visible appearance, beings and monsters which dwell in the Abyss, and Outer Space, of the human psyche.”

Those texts, as well as the system of gods, legends, and rituals presented in the book, are as old as civilization itself, having originated from the oldest civilization accepted by historians, one of the crowning empires of the God-Kings of Atlantis – ancient Sumeria.There is a dualistic notion inserted into The Necronomicon that is completely absent in Lovecraft’s work. Lovecraft’s “Old Ones” were primordial beings, beyond good and evil. That was the essence of their power. In The Necronomicon , the “Great Old Ones” have been split into two factions: the “Elder Gods” and the “Ancient Ones” – the good guys and the bad guys. This is noted in the excellently-written introduction by the Editor, L.K. Barnes, which alone should be invaluable to the serious student of the occult, and Sumerian mythology. Writes Barnes:

“Basically there are two ‘sets’ of gods in the mythos: the Elder Gods, about whom not much is written, save that they are a stellar race that occasionally comes to the rescue of man, and which corresponds to the Christian ‘light’; and the Ancient Ones, about whom much is told, sometimes in great detail, who correspond to Darkness. These latter are the Evil Gods who wish nothing but ill for the Race of Man, and who constantly strive to break into our world through a gate or door that leads from the Outside In. There are certain people among us, who are devotees of the Ancient Ones, and who try to open the Gate, so that this evidently repulsive organization may once again rule the Earth. Chief among this is Cthulhu, typified as a Sea Monster, dwelling in the Great Deep, a sort of primeval Ocean…”

This author has herself tried to figure out what the essential difference is between the Ancient Ones and the Elder Gods. The Elder Gods are lead by a great trinity: Anu, Enlil and Enki, whom we have talked about in other Dagobert’s Revenge articles as being the ancient god-kings of Sumeria, and perhaps, Atlantis. Anu held the seat of kingship, the inheritance of which was disputed by his sons, Enki and Enlil, leading to a catastrophe that destroyed most of Earth’s civilizations and which is recorded in the Sumerian Enuma Elish, as well as the Biblical “War in Heaven.” In the Sumerian texts, there is a race of gods descended from this trinity called the “Annunaki”, analogous to the “sons of god”, or the Nephilim in the Bible and the Book of Enoch. In The Necronomicon the strife between Enki and Enlil is completely ignored, and the Annunaki are considered to be a separate race, a faction of the Ancient Ones. They live in the Absu, or Abyss, a.k.a. “Nar Mattaru”, the great Underworld Ocean, which is also called “Cutha” or “Kutu.” This place is also described as “the Sea beneath the Seas”, and clearly indicates an ocean inside the Earth which coincides with descriptions of the Hollow Earth being largely filled with water. “Nar Mattaru” is very similar to “Nar Mar”, one of the kings of the global empire of Atlantis, Sumeria, Egypt and India, whose name meant “Wild Bull”, but who was symbolized by a cuneiform character depicting a cuttlefish. Since “Mar” means sea, it’s not difficult to figure out that this king is he upon whom Enki, Dagon , Oannes, and all the other “Sea Bulls”, including the Quinotaur that spawned the Merovingians, have been based. But Leviathan is also based on this character, who in turn is the same as Cthulhu, the Ancient One. Are we confused yet?The Elder Gods seem most definitely to be associated with the planets. In the chapter entitled “Of the Zonei and Their Attributes” (“Zonei” referring to the “zones” or orbits in which the planets travel), we learn that beneath Enki, Enlil and Anu are seven planetary deities. It appears that it is not the planets themselves that were worshipped, but the gods that represent those planets. As we have previously discussed, the ancient god-kings of Atlantis associated themselves with the stars and the planets, taking on their attributes that these planets were supposed to represent. Interestingly, it is written of Nergal, the god of Mars, that: “He was sometimes thought to be an agent of the Ancient Ones, for he dwelt in Cutha for a time.” Clearly, whether a god is considered “Ancient” or “Elder” depends less on moral or physical attributes than it does on where spatially the “god” is believed to be located. Ancient man believed that the Underworld was the land to the west, because that is where the sun went to “die” every night. So if there was a time when Mars rose in West, that would explain this association between that planet and “Cutha.”

The Ancient Ones, for their part, seem to be associated both with the Abyss, or underground sea, and with the constellations as well. This is not a contradiction if one takes into account the fact that ancient man considered the sky itself to be a cosmic ocean, and it was often called “The Abyss” as well. There seem to be three star systems in particular that the Ancient Ones are associated with, which have given birth to what Abdul Alhazred describes as: “The Cult of the Dog, the Cult of the Dragon, and the Cult of the Goat” (these are all cults that would be perceived as pagan or “Satanic” today), corresponding to the stars Draconis (the Dragon), Sirius (the Dog-Star), and Capricorn, (the Goat), which is oddly based on Enki, the prototype of Satan, whom Abdul is calling an “Elder God.” Abdul explains that:

“There shall forever be a war between us and the race of Draconis, for the race of Draconis was ever-powerful in ancient times, when the first temples were built in Magan, and they drew down their power from the stars…”

Many would interpret this to means that the Ancient Ones, “The Race of Draconis”, are a lizard race of extraterrestrials from Draco, like the concepts promoted by David Icke. These beings are uncaring and unfeeling, yet the cause of all pain on this Earth, and they can be known by “their many unnatural sciences and arts, which cause wondrous things to happen, but which are unlawful to our people.”Here again we comes across the roots of the ancient yet nonetheless false dichotomy between good and evil. The Ancient Ones are reviled for teaching man secret wisdom, arts and sciences that are “unnatural”, because they enable man to conquer nature, just as the Watchers of Nephilim did in the Book of Enoch. In that text, the forbidden knowledge consists of math, writing, astronomy, and the like. Here it seems to be associated mostly with the forbidden arts of ritual magick, which, if performed by the Elder Gods would be perfectly OK, but which “are unlawful to our people.”

And who exactly are “our people” in this schematism? The human race in general? Or something more specific? In “The Testimony of the Mad Arab”, Abdul Alhazred writes of his first encounter with the worshippers of the Ancient Ones, who were performing a sacrificial ritual around a large, floating, gray rock, upon which was carved three symbols. Of the first, the pentagram, he writes, “The first is the Sign of Our Race from beyond the Stars, and is called Arra in the tongue of the Scribe who taught it to me, an emissary of the Elder Ones. In the tongue of the eldest city of Babylon, it was Ur.” The pentagram was indeed called the “Ar”, or “Plough Sign” by the ancient Sumerians, and some have speculated that this is where the word “Aryan” comes from. The gods of Ancient Sumeria were depicted with blue eyes, and their language is clearly the root of our “Indo-European”, or Aryan system of languages. Is it so much to assume that the Sumerians were in fact themselves “Sum-Aryans”? This would seem to confirm it. Even L.K. Barnes makes note of the “strange, non-Semitic language of the Sumerians; and language which has been closely allied to that of the Aryan race, having in fact many words identical to that of Sanskrit (and, it is said, to Chinese!)”

But the blood of the Aryans has a special quality to it, for it possesses the co-mingled powers of both the Ancient Ones and the Elder Gods. As L.K. Barnes writes: “Man was created from the blood of the slain commander of the Ancient Army, Kingu, thereby making man a descendant of the Blood of the Enemy, as well as the ‘breath’ of the Elder Gods; a close parallel to the ‘Sons of God and the daughters of men’ reference in the Old Testament.” Indeed it is a close parallel for these Sumerian legends of the War in Heaven are the source of this later Biblical tale. A trace of these ancient versions can be found in what L.K. Barnes refers to as the “center piece” of The Necronomicon: “The Magan Text.”

The Magan Text tells the story of the creation of our present Earth, and of humanity himself. It starts out much like Genesis – the emergence of creation out of the formless void of chaos referred to as “The Waters” in both texts. From the Magan we read:

“When on High the Heavens had not been named,
The Earth had not been named,
And Naught existed but the Seas of Absu,
The Ancient One,
And Mummu Tiamat, the Ancient One
Who bore them all,
Their Waters as One Water.”

Tiamat is the female version of Leviathan, the consort of Cthulhu. There is always, in world mythology, a female counterpart to the male dragon. From L.K. Barnes:

“That Tiamat was undoubtedly female is to the point; and that the Chinese as well as the Sumerians perceived of two dragon currents, male and female, gives the researchers a more complex picture. The Green Dragon and the Red Dragon of the alchemists are thus identified, as the positive and negative energies that compromise the cosmos of our perception, as manifest in the famous Chinese yin-yang symbol.”

Tiamat, therefore, would have, like Leviathan and Kutulu, represented the ocean itself, as well as the Earth, or, at least, the larger planet that existed in Earth’s place prior to being rent in the manner that the Magan text later describes.The beginning of the poem describes a time “before the Elder Gods had been brought forth”, meaning before the planets had been formed, “Uncalled by name, their destinies unknown and undetermined”, the word “destiny” referring to the gravitational orbits of the planet. “Then it was that the gods were formed within the Ancient Ones.” This means that the Ancient Ones represent forces that pre-existed the creation of matter itself – time, space, electromagnetic and nuclear forces, the primeval void that was the womb of creation. This is what L.K. Barnes means when he writes:

“The method of The Necronomicon concerns deep, primeval forces that seem to pre-exist the normal archetypal images of the tarot trumps and the Golden Dawn telesmatic figures. These are forces that developed outside the Judeo-Christian mainstream, and were worshipped and summoned long before the creation of the Qabala as we know it today.”

This is because Western magick is largely based on worship of the sun, the planets, and creation as it exists now. But these Ancient Ones are the forces of creation itself, of life itself, which is why Leviathan and Tiamat are synonymous with the “Kundalini power” of Tantric sex magick. In this sense, Tiamat plays the role of the Ourouborous, the serpent eating its tail which encircles the cosmos, providing a “womb”, as it were, for the Celestial Ocean, the Abyss. Since the ancients conceived of the “Cosmic Abyss” of the sky to be an extension of the Abyss on Earth known as the ocean, they also believed that the dragon Tiamat or Leviathan lived there as well, in the Terrestrial sea. It was the sea, and it was the Earth itself. Says Barnes:S.H. Hooke, in his excellent Middle Eastern Mythology, tells us that the Leviathan mentioned in Job, and elsewhere in the Old Testament, is the Hebrew name given to the Serpent Tiamat, and reveals that there was in existence either a cult, or scattered individuals, who worshipped or called up the Serpent of the Sea, or Abyss. Indeed, the Hebrew word for Abyss that is found in Genesis 1:2 is, Hooke tells us, tehom, which the majority of scholars take to be a survival of the name of the chaos-dragon Tiamat or Leviathan that is identified closely with Kutulu or Cthulhu within the pages. They are mentioned independently of each other, indicating that somehow Kutulu is the male counterpart of Tiamat, similar to Absu.

This monster is well known to cult worship all over the world. …The Chinese system of geomancy, feng shui (pronounced fung shway) is the science of understanding the “dragon currents” which exist beneath the earth, these same telluric energies that are distilled in such places as Chartres Cathedral in France, Glastonbury Tor in England, and the Ziggurats of Mesopotamia. In both the European and Chinese cultures, the Dragon or Serpent is said to reside somewhere “below the earth”; it is a powerful force, a magickal force, which is identified with mastery over the created world; it is also a power that can be summoned by the few and not the many.”

Since the Elder Gods were begotten of the womb of Tiamat, it makes sense that they would me made of the same material, the primordial energy, or “prima materia” that she represents, and that is where they ultimately get their planetary power from. That is, therefore, where the Earth would get its power too. One is reminded of the myth of the Black Sun, the ball of prima materia that supposedly exists in the center of the Hollow Earth, providing the “dragon current” that resides beneath the Earth, and corresponding to the myth of Leviathan in Abyss.

The myth of the black sun comes from the ancient belief that the sun died in the West every night, turned black, and descended into the Underworld. And it just so happens that this is exactly what the Magan text refers to: To quote Barnes:

“The word Magan may mean the Land of the Magan which was said to lie in the West of Sumer. For a time, it seems the name Magan was synonymous with the Place of Death – as the Sun ‘died’ in the West. Hence, it is a bit confusing as to what Magan is really supposed to mean in this text, but in context the “Place of Death” explanation seems quite valid.”

The Magan Text, then, may refer not only to how the Earth was formed out of the rending of a larger planet, but how the so-called “Black Sun’, in its guise as Tiamat, or Leviathan, was deposited in its center. What is really interesting is that in this story, it is Tiamat who is the most powerful, the most ancient, and the Most High god, It is she who is rebelled against. The following passage describes how the planets became disturbed in their orbits within the womb of Tiamat (space, the Abyss), thereby “rebelling” against her.

“The Elder Ones came together
They disturbed Tiamat, the Ancient One, as they surged back and forth.
Yea, they troubled the belly of Tiamat
By their Rebellion in the abode of Heaven.
Absu could not lessen their clamour
Tiamat was speechless at their ways.
Their doings were loathsome unto the Ancient Ones.
Absu rose up to slay the Elder Gods by stealth.
With magick charm and spell Absu fought,
But was slain by the sorcery of the Elder Gods.
And it was their first victory.
His body was lain in an empty Space
In a crevice of the heavens
Hid
He was lain,
But his blood cried out to the Abode of Heaven.”

What follows is essentially the “War in Heaven.” Tiamat creates children (monsters”) out of her womb to attack the rebellious Elder Gods. These monsters are lead by a demon called Kingu. Enki, “The Lord of the Magick Waters”, summons his son Marduk to do battle with the “Ancient Horde.” Enki represents the planet Saturn, and therefore, Satan, while Marduk, attributed to the planet Jupiter in this text, bears an uncanny likeness to Lucifer, as the leader of the rebellious gods. He is also referred to as “The Brightest Star Amongst the Stars”, and the Elder Gods are said to represent “the nature of the cosmos before the Fall of Marduk from Heaven.” However, the event of Marduk’s “fall” is not recorded in this text, merely mentioned in passing later on. Rather, Marduk is said to have been victorious against the Ancient Ones, and caused them to fall from Heaven. His father Enki, “Lord of All Magick”, told him “The Secret Name, the Secret Number, and the Secret Shape”, thereby enabling him to access the powers of magick. (One wonders if there is any connection to the “lost word of Freemasonry” which Hiram Abiff refused to divulge, and which died with him.) Then:

“Marduk struck with the Disc of Power
Blinded Tiamat’s Eyes of Death
The Monster heaved and raised its back
Struck forth in all directions
Spitting ancient words of Power
Screamed the ancient incantations
Marduk struck again and blew
An Evil Wind into her body
Which filled the raging, wicked Serpent
Marduk shot between her jaws
The Charmed arrow of Enki’s Magick
Marduk struck again and severed
The head of Tiamat from its body.”

One would assume that this represents cosmic forces causing planets to smash into one another. And from the dead body of Tiamat, the Earth was formed. After it was all done, Marduk was responsible for re-establishing the planetary orbits, and basically taking over. He himself became the creator of the new Heaven and the new Earth, while the Ancient Ones were imprisoned in the Underworld.

“Marduk
Victor
Took the Tablets of Destiny
Unbidden
Hung them around his neck.
Acclaimed of the Elder Gods was he.
First among the Elder Ones was he.
He split the sundered Tiamat in twain
And fashioned the heavens and the earth,
With a Gate to keep the Ancient Ones Without.
With a Gate whose Key is hid forever
Save to the Sons of Marduk
Save to the Followers of Our Master
Enki
First in Magick among the Gods.
From the Blood of Kingu he fashioned Man.
He constructed Watchtowers for the Elder Gods
Fixing their astral bodies as constellations
That they may watch the Gate of Absu”

So Lucifer cast the creator of the universe into Hell? L.K. Barnes himself notes how odd it is that the Luciferian character is the hero in this text.

“Whereas Christianity states that Lucifer was a rebel in heaven, and fell from God’s grace to ignominy below, the original story was that Marduk was the rebel, and severed the Body of the Ancient of Ancient Ones to create the Cosmos – in other words, the precise reverse of the Judeo-Christian dogma. The Elder Gods evidently possessed a certain Wisdom that was not held by their Parents, yet their Parents held the Power, the Primal Strength, the First Magick, that the Elder Ones tapped to their own advantage, for they were begotten of Her.”

Since the Elder Gods were made “of” the Ancient Ones, they necessarily possessed the dual powers of good and evil, the balance of which is the secret power of the occult. And so, as the text explains, does mankind, which he created “from the blood of Kingu”, as well as the “breathe” of the Elder Gods. “The essences of the Ancient Ones are in all things, but the essences of the Elder Ones are in all things that live.” So man’s material essence comes from the body of a demon that represents prima materia, while his life-force is provided by the powers of the planets. This represents itself as the “dragon force” that can be conjured within the human body, the Kundalini serpent that lives at the base of the spine, which can be roused through meditation, and drawn up through the spine to electrify the seven chakras, each of which corresponds to one of the seven planets. This can be done because man is connected genetically to the serpent power, which his DNA allows him to access, and which his DNA, in fact, represents. For as L.K. Barnes writes, “the twisting, sacred spiral shape formed by the serpent of the Caduceus, and by the spinning of galaxies is also the same Leviathan as the spiral of the biologists’ code of Life: DNA.” This DNA acts as a conductor for the forces of the Ancient Ones, sort of an inter-dimensional gateway, or patch bay connecting our reality to theirs. In fact, this genetic component of human blood is described in The Necronomicon as being the “key” capable of unlocking the prison inside the Earth where the Ancient Ones lie. Part II of the Magan Text, called “Of the Forgotten Generations of Man”, states:

“And was not Man created from the blood of Kingu
Commander of the hordes of the Ancient Ones?
Does not man possess in his spirit
The seeds of rebellion against the Elder Gods?
And the blood of Man is the Blood of Vengeance
And the blood of Man is the Spirit of Vengeance
And the Power of Man is the Power of the Ancient Ones
And this is the Covenant
For, lo! The Elder Gods possess the Sign
By which the Powers of the Ancient Ones are turned back
But Man possesses the Sign
And the Number
And the Shape
To summon the Blood of his Parents.
And this is the Covenant.
Created by the Elder Gods
From the Blood of the Ancient Ones
Man is the Key by which
The Gate of Iak Sakkak may be flung wide
By which the Ancient Ones
Seek their Vengeance
Upon the face of the Earth
Against the Offspring of Marduk.
For what is new
Came from that which is old
And what is old
Shall replace that which is new
And once again the Ancient Ones
Shall rule upon the face of the Earth!
And this is too the Covenant!”

One of Lovecraft’s proteges, Frank Belknap Long, wrote a story about this very concept called “The Hounds of Tindalos.” In this story, a writer named Chalmers takes a drug that enables him to mentally regress through the genetic memory of his DNA, all the way back through human evolution and beyond. As he reports to his friend, the narrator:

“I am going back and back. Man has disappeared from the Earth. Gigantic reptiles crouch beneath enormous palms and swim through the loathly black waters of dismal lakes. Now the reptiles have disappeared. No animals remain upon the land, but beneath the waters, plainly visible to me, dark forms move slowly over rotting vegetation.”

Chalmers makes it clear that these underwater forms are multi-dimensional beings, and that by taking this drug and having these visions, he was actually performing a feat of time travel through the fourth dimension.”The forms are becoming simpler and simpler. Now they are single cells. All about me there are angles – strange angles that have no counterparts on Earth… Beyond life there are… things that I cannot distinguish. They move slowly through outrageous angles.”

What are these strange angles, and how is Chalmers able to see “beyond life?” It is because he was experiencing another dimension of space where all points of time exist simultaneously. As he explains:

“Time is merely our imperfect perception of a new dimension of space. Time and motion are both illusions. Everything that has existed from the beginning of the world exists now. Events that occurred centuries ago on this planet continue to exist in another dimension of space. Events that will occur centuries from now exist already. We cannot perceive their existence because we cannot enter the dimension of space that contains them. Human beings as we know them are merely fractions, infinitesimally small fractions of one enormous whole. Every human being is linked with all life that preceded him on this planet. All of his ancestors are parts of him. Only time separates him from his forebears, and time is an illusion and does not exist. … By simply straining I can see further and further back. Now I am going back through strange curves. There is curved time and angular time.”

It is the angles that allow the “dark forms” that Chalmers sees – and Chalmers himself – to pass from point to point in space-time. That the Ancient Ones in The Necronomicon are multi-dimensional beings is clear from the descriptions contained therein. They are said to be able to pass through doors “like a wind.” They can do this because they live in the places between, the places unknown in Heaven and Earth… Nowhere are they known. Not in Heaven, nor in the Earth are they discovered, for their place is outside of our place, and between the angles of the Earth. We are the Lost Ones, from a Time before Time, From a land beyond the Stars… We are a race from beyond the wanderers of night… falling like rain from the sky, issuing like mist from the Earth.”It is this “issuing from the Earth” aspect that we should examine now, since that is where the Ancient Ones are said to be currently located. Later on in the Magan Text, Ishtar (Venus), described as the “Lady of the Harlots of UR”, descends into the Underworld. When she did this, she “set her mind from above and to below… set her mind in that direction”, indicating that “entering the Underworld” requires a special mental process whereby you set your mind in between the dimensions represented by Heaven and Earth, so that you can get on the right frequency and travel through space/time. This may link up with the claim by some that the “Hollow Earth”, in which these fallen gods like sleeping exists in another dimension, which is why it is not acknowledged by science.

That the “Underworld” is literally inside the Earth is quite clear from the text. As Ishtar descends, she must go through seven chambers, which clearly involves traveling through a series of tunnels into the depths of the Earth – not, as Zecharia Sitchin has written, a seven-stage rocket launch. This could also be seen symbolically as her descending down the seven chakra points to the “Underworld” as the base of the spine, where the Kundalini Cthulhu lies “sleeping.” She is forced to remove an item of jewelry at each gate, similar to Masonic initiation ritual, in which the candidate is divested of all metal objects. These jewels themselves seem to correspond to the seven chakra points on Ishtar’s body, covering them, and apparently they were protecting her. For after they are removed, Ishtar’s sister, Ereshkigal, the dragon queen of the Underworld, released the “7 Annunaki” against her. Normally, in Sumerian legend, the Annunaki are merely the sons of the Elder Gods, and appear to be of the same species, but not in this case. Here they are the “Dread Judges, the Seven Lords of the Underworld”, like the gods that judge your dead soul in the Egyptian underworld. Most interesting among these demons is one called “The Eye on the Throne”, which appears to be the same as Kingu, the slain dragon from whose blood mankind was made. The Eye Over the Throne was a hieroglyph used in Egypt and Sumeria to denote the world monarchy of the Atlantean Gods. Since here it is called “Kingu”, obviously he was one of these “kings”, perhaps related etymologically to “Cain”, whose name is the root from which the word “king” comes, and who is said to be one of the eldest ancestors of the Grail family. These Annunaki slay Ishtar in a most barbarous way, chaining her down and ripping her flesh with their teeth.

This is exactly the fate that beheld Chalmers when he was left along after the drug session. The creatures that he had witnessed moving through angles, ‘The Hounds of Tindalos”, came looking for him, and moved right through the angles in his ceiling into his apartment. Narrowly escaping from their first attack, he attempted to thwart them by redecorating. He called the narrator to his apartment again with a bucket of plaster, and told him:

“They can only reach us through angles. We must eliminate all angles from this room. I shall plaster up all the corners, all of the crevices. We must make this room resemble the interior of a sphere.”

Why the Hounds should want to kill him is explained twice. On the one hand, they are mindless forces that simply hunger for blood, and the same is said of the Ancient Ones, for whom, “The blood of the weakest, here is libation” unto them. But for the Ancient Ones, there is also an element of revenge, for their murder and imprisonment in the Underworld. The same is referred to in the Hounds of Tindalos:

“… a terrible and unspeakable deed was done in the very beginning. Before time, the deed, and from the dead… The deeds of the dead move through angles in dim recesses of time. They are hungry and athirst! … For a moment I stood on the other side. I stood on the pale gray shores beyond time and space. In an awful light that was not a light, in a silence that shrieked, I saw them! But they scented me. Men awake in them cosmic hungers. We have escaped momentarily from the foulness that rings them round. They thirst for that in us which is clean, which emerged from the deed without stain. There is a part of us which did not partake of the deed, and that they hate. But do not imagine that they are literally, prosaically evil. They are beyond good and evil as we know it. They are that which in the beginning fell away from cleanliness. Through the deed they became bodies of death, receptacles of all foulness. But they are not evil in our sense because in the spheres through which they move there is no thought, no moral, no right or wrong as we understand it. There is merely the pure and the foul. The foul expresses itself through angle; the pure through curves. Man, the pure part of him, is descended from a curve. Do not laugh. I mean that literally.”

This “angular” state represents the dualistic realm of opposites that creation is made from, the breaking down of the One into the Many, into the world where good and evil, male and female are separated. The part of us which is “pure” is the part of the One godhead that descended into dualistic matter, the light that descended into darkness, or the Fall of Lucifer from Heaven, and his subsequent imprisonment in the Earth, or the Fall of the Stone from his crown, i.e., the Grail, which became enclosed in the deepest recesses of our minds, to be accessed by only the few. This has also been represented as the Fall of Man from the Garden of Eden, who became corrupted when he gained knowledge of Good and Evil as being separate from the One. Subsequently, man became imprisoned in the 3-dimensional world, and this is the deed that must be avenged.But man contains the spark of godhead within him as well as the material of corrupted matter, just as Abdul Alhazred tells us that we have the body and blood of the Ancient Ones, but the spirit of the Elder Gods breathed into our souls, like god crafting Adam from “clay”, and then putting the “breathe of life” into him. Yet this is just a continuation of the dualism that resulted in the descent into corrupted matter, or the imprisonment of the Ancient Ones. For they and the Elder Gods are inextricably connected. One bore the other, and therefore they are of the same substance, two sides of the same coin. Combining their essences results in the union of the Many back into the One, or a return to the womb of the mother. This is the “Grail” energy, the Elixir of Life. the occult power that works magick. It should not be surprising to us then that the leader of the Elder Gods, Enki, “Lord of the Magick Waters” and “Father of All Magick” is the character upon whom both the Judeo-Christian Satan and the Judeo-Christian Jehovah – the good guy and the bad guy, is based. Enki is the horned fish-man-god from whence came the characters of Saturn and Capricorn – both prototypes for Satan. But his other name, Ia, mentioned repeatedly in the spells throughout The Necronomicon, is where we get out name “Jah”, from whence comes Jehovah, and just like in the Bible, Ia is a jealous, vengeful storm god. Ia, or Ea, is called in Sumerian legends “The Lord of the Waters”, the “Lord of the Flood”, and the “Lord of the Earth.” “Lord of the Waters” is synonymous with Leviathan, while “Lord of the Earth” is a term traditionally applied to Satan. As Jehovah was also, in Judeo-Christian lore, the one that flooded the Earth, and the one who created it, it all makes sense. Here we see the roots of that Cathars’ heretical belief that Jehovah – the creator of the Earth – was the same as Satan, or “Rex Mundi”, the Lord of the Earth. This conundrum is expressed by a confused Abdul Alhazred when he writes of the worshippers of the Ancient Ones:

“And who is their master? Of this I do not know, but I have heard them calling Enki, which is surely a blasphemy, for Enki is of our Race, as it is wit in the text of Magan. But perhaps, they call another, whose name I do not know. But surely it was not Enki.”

It is also of note that Enki’s son Marduk appears to have the qualities of both Lucifer (as the “Brightest Star in Heaven” and the one who “Fell to Earth”) and Jesus or Michael, for he is son of the Eldest God Enki (Jehovah), sent to Earth to rule over man, and he is the vanquisher of the Evil One in Heaven. Such dualism seems to also be present in the references to the “Mountains of Mashu”, which the Ancient Ones are said to rule over. L.K. Barnes writes that:

“…the original translator has noted the resemblance between the Greek word for Lord, Kurios, and the Sumerian word for Mountain, Kur, and for a type of underworld chthonic monster which is also called kur and which refers to the Leviathan of the Old Testament. Also, in this particular conjuration, the word for mountain is “Shadu”, like “El Shaddai”, meaning Lord of the Mountain, a title applied to Jehovah.”

This dualism points to the parentage of mankind, which is both infernal and divine, and he is a mediator between the two. This dichotomy is the cause of the sorrow of human existence For:

“…man, being born, is of sadness, for he is of the Blood of the Ancient Ones, but has the Spirit of the Elder Gods breathed into him. And his body goes to the Ancient Ones, but his mind is turned towards the Elder Gods, and this is the War which shall be always fought, unto the last generation of man; for the World is unnatural. When the Great Kutulu rises up and greets the Stars, then the War will be over, and the World be One.

But how is it exactly that the Elder Gods, being planets, “breathed life” into humanity at all? Well, there are those, including this author, who hold that the gods of Sumeria were actually real flesh-and-blood kings of human civilization during the Golden Age of Atlantis. But they were more than human. The kings of Atlantis were somewhere in between Man and God – they were the Sons of God (sons of Enki), the Nephilim, the Watchers. They are said to have been, literally, “stars” that fell from Heaven, and the power of the Ancient Ones, as we know, comes from the stars – in other words, solar power. Stars put out waves of all sorts along the electro-magnetic spectrum, as do planets, which could account for the power and influence they are said to possess. If one could tune into the radio waves they are putting out, one could hear the “speech of the gods.” And if one could harness that energy, then all of the feats that have been attributed to magicians over the centuries could be true. Scientists even say that if we are ever to build an inter-dimensional space traveling machine, it would require so much power that we would have to harness the sun itself to make it work. This could be done either through advanced technology or advanced occult practice, and legend tells us that the Atlanteans possessed both. Whether by evolution or by genetic engineering, these beings were superior to us, and evidence shows that they existed in multiple dimensions, possessed multi-dimensional powers, just like their stellar “parents.” And by intermarrying with their own creations – human females – they passed that star seed onto us, and all the powers that go with it. This “multi-dimensional” aspect of the Sons of God is the only way to explain the physical countenance of their human/god hybrid children: they were said to have born monsters and giants. The Watchers could have only bread monsters with humans if they themselves were monsters, albeit in a multi-dimensional sort of way. This would explain the aspect of “shape-shifting” that has been attributed to these gods and their human offspring, who worship them. What David Icke says about those “of the Grail Bloodline” being shape-shifting Reptilians controlled by their demonic ancestral overlords from the 4th dimension might be true. It is this multi-dimensional force that the gods taught man to utilize in the rites of magick and occultism that the gods invented and passed on to their human offspring, drawn upon the power of the stars and planets, including the telluric “dragon force” of Cthulhu that lives within the Earth, and slumbers at the base of the human spine. L.K. Barnes confirms that Sumer was not just the birthplace of civilization, but also of religion and ritual magick. Here’s where the rebellious ones taught their cult to the “first man”, as Lovecraft has described in “The Call of Cthulhu.” This is what enabled Alhazred by magick, to “summon the ghosts of my ancestors to real and visible appearance”, something that Icke accuses the Grail family of doing in the blood-drinking rites that he is sure they participate in, and author Nicholas de Vere describes such ancestral conjuring rituals as well. Summoning ancestral ghosts is also the purpose of Voodoo and Santeria ritual.Another aspect of the gods of Atlantis is that they are said to be able to live forever, and their human offspring had extremely long life spans as well. Likewise, the Ancient Ones are incapable of dying, as time does not exist for them, “For their times and seasons run uneven and strange to our minds, for are they not the computers of all time? Did they not set time in its place?” Interestingly, after Frank Chalmers is devoured by the Hounds of Tindalos (the plaster didn’t work), a strange protoplasmic substance is found in his apartment, apparently from the dripping jowls of the Hounds beyond time and space. This substance is examined by a bacteriologist, who writes:

“The fluid sent to me for analysis is the most peculiar that I have ever examined. It resembles living protoplasm, but it lacks the peculiar substances known as enzymes. Enzymes catalyze the chemical reactions occurring in living cells, and when the cell dies, they cause it to disintegrate by hydrolyzation. Without enzymes, protoplasm should possess enduring vitality, i.e., immortality. Enzymes are the negative components, so to speak, of unicellular organism, which is the basis of all life. That living matter can exist without enzymes biologists emphatically deny. And yet the substance that you sent to me is alive and it lacks these ‘indispensable’ bodies. Good God, Sir, do you realize what astounding new vistas this opens up?”

It is something like this which might make the long life spans attributed to the gods and their offspring physically possible, and would make it possible for their bodies to remain underground in a state of hibernation for eons before being resurrected again. It is this resurrection that they are hoping their human descendants will affect by practicing the occult rites of necromancy that they have been taught. From Alhazred:

“Let all who read this book be warned thereby that the habitations of men are seen and surveyed by that forgotten race of gods and demons from a time before time, and that they seek revenge for that forgotten battle that took place somewhere in the cosmos, and rent the worlds in the days before the creation of man.”

And this is, mythologically, the same battle as that which caused the kingdom of Atlantis to sink to its watery depths, the War in Heaven in which the Sons of God – the Nephilim, or Watchers – were imprisoned within the Underworld, their mighty kingdom destroyed, all because they dares to pass their divine seed, and their divine knowledge onto lowly humanity. For as Abdul writes of The Necronomicon, “civilizations were destroyed because of the knowledge contained in this book.” This is the deed that must be avenged, the memory of which slumbers in the blood of their human offspring – just as they slumber beneath the Earth, waiting for the day that the stars will be right again, and their descendants will perform the rites which will bring them up from the depths to reclaim their kingdom, and the Age of the Gods will begin anew: The New Atlantis, the New Jerusalem, the New World Order.

“Know that Tiamat seeks ever to rise to the stars, and when the Upper is united to the Lower, then a new Age will come of Earth, and the Serpent shall be made whole, and the Waters will be as One, when on high the heavens had not been named.And the Dead shall rise and smell the incense!”

On October 28th, 1998, a number of newspapers across the country ran an Associated Press article entitled “Presidential Hopefuls Share Blue Blood Lines.” The article, based on information put forth by Burke’s Peerage, claimed that every single President of the United States has had a notable amount of royal European ancestry, and in each Presidential race, the one with the most royal genes is the one who wins – every single time. This tendency has been noted in supposedly Democratic European politics as well, prompting some to charge that a global conspiracy exists to keep power within the hands of a specific gene pool. This charge is not entirely baseless, and many books have been written tracing modern aristocratic bloodlines back to the royal houses of Israel, Egypt, Sumer, and beyond. The charge is further supported by the fact that many of the supposed conspirators proudly boast about the ancient origins of their ancestry. The traditional explanation for why power is passed down through the ages by blood has been the mystical Divine Right of Kings. This dates back to the 17th century and states that a king is created by God, so therefore kingly authority resides in the blood irrespective of anything else. Many have claimed that there is a genetic characteristic carried in the blood itself which makes this so. But what would it be? Is there a legitimate physiological reason behind the Divine Right of Kings?

Fields of the Nephilim

The all-important element of the Divine Right is that it comes from God, or “the gods”, alternately. And who were these gods? Authors such as Zecharia Sitchin, Sir Laurence Gardner and Nicholas de Vere are authoritatively convinced that kingship was created by an advanced race of beings called the Annunaki, also called the Nephilim in the Old Testament. These were the ones who created the human race and interbred with a portion of it to create the kingly caste which until this day has still maintained control over the Earth. These celestial creatures have been variously identified with Dragons, Elves, Fairies, Gnomes, Leprechauns, Sprites, Nymphs, Pixies, Angels, Demons, Devils, Witches, Giants, Vampires, Werewolves, and just about every mythical being you can imagine. Some, like Gardner and Sitchin, claim that they come from another planet. Others, like de Vere, say that they’re multi-dimensional, or that they’re from the Hollow Earth. Some, like David Icke, say that they are humans inhabited by the spirits of multidimensional reptiles, capable of shapeshifting into reptile form at any time. Still others claim that they were humanoid, but more than human, with pale white skin. The human hybrid offspring that they created as the royal/priestly caste was, according to most, the Aryans, who usually had red hair with green eyes – in stark contrast to the traditional Hitlerian vision. Nicholas de Vere, the leader of an organization called The Dragon Court which claims to represent this royal Aryan caste, writes, “the depiction of the Aryan (Scythian) as a tall, ruddy-complexioned blonde racist yeoman-farmer-warrior-god has no basis in truth.” He further suggests that the “yeoman-farmer” Celtic, Gaulish and Pictish tribes which we now think of as Aryan were actually of a different race, but had hired the extra-human Aryans to be their leaders. These Aryans were also the masterminds behind the Indian, Hittite, Greek, Egyptian, Hebrew, Sumerian and Pre-Sumerian Ubaid civilizations. Many believe that their descendants can be found amongst the segment of the population with the RH Negative blood type, roughly 5% of the Earth’s population, most of them Europeans. These people are often born with an extra vertebrate, have a lower than normal body temperature, and can rarely mate with one another successfully, suggesting that they may indeed be a hybrid species. Conspiracy enthusiast Arizona Wilder takes it a step further by saying, “The Aryan bloodline is alien to this planet… There are 13 bloodlines from this kind of stock (the Merovingians being one), and all of them have to a greater or lesser degree the capacity to play host to the Shape Changer reptiles.” The other 12 families have been identified as Astor, Bundy, Collins, Dupont, Freeman, Kennedy, Li, Onassis, Reynolds, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Russell, and Van Duyn, with the rest of the European royal families being categorized as “Merovingian.” These are the people referred to by the fanatic group the Sons of Jared when they “pledge an implacable war against the descendants of the Watchers, who as notorious pharaohs, kings and dictators, have throughout history dominated mankind… like super-gangsters, a celestial Mafia ruling the world.” The Book of Enoch says that the sons of the Nefilim are destined to “afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle and work destruction on the earth.”Nicholas de Vere, himself a Prince of the Dragon Blood, sees it quite differently. He sees them as the rightful shepherds of the human flock. “The fairies were tuned to a higher frequency of perception and activity generally. In the past, therefore, because the Fairies were, for millennia, physiologically bred and exhaustively trained to operate at a higher level than men, humans often invited the to become social navigators… A dragon was one who saw clearly, and the clarity of vision engendered was always classically associated with wisdom, which itself produces power….” The Annunaki and their quasi-human offspring are attributed remarkable traits. They lived for thousands of years, were capable of levitation, dimension-hopping, clairvoyance, and a million other magical powers, all a product of applied eugenics. “Selective unions gave the race the opportunity to breed outstanding magicians whose gift of natural perception and understanding: and whose ability to access the ‘Otherworld’, helped to produce and guide brilliant kings who ruled with elegant aplomb. The ability to perform magic was carried in the blood”, and “the Elves were relied upon by their client races to be able to see things and perform feats that these client races couldn’t.” Laurence Gardner, himself a former member of the Dragon Court, concurs. “In short, these people were bred to be leaders of mankind, and they were both mentally and physically maintained in the highward state.” But what property did they inherit in the blood which makes this possible? The experts are nearly unanimous about the fact that the answer is endocrinology. Says de Vere, “hormonal levels [are] influenced by genetic inheritance and that hormones [affect] the individual’s perceptions, psychological unicameralism and the subsequent ability to transcend and perceive the intricacies of the cosmos. Elven blood [is] rich in these substances.”

Starfire Bloodfests

“The best blood is of the moon, monthly…” -Aleister Crowley, The Book of the Law.The beneficial effects of the hormone melatonin have been part of the health supplement scene for some time, for high melatonin production is known to be synonymous with a high immune system, a low cancer risk, long life, energy, stamina, and according to many, enhanced spiritual awareness. Perhaps it is fitting then that this hormone is secreted by the pineal gland, a mysterious little item long believed by mystics to be the “Seat of the Soul”, “The Third Eye”, and the organ through which psychic powers are exercised. In fact it actually functions as an organ of sight in some reptiles, and it still seems to possess some sensitivity to light in higher mammals, as melatonin production increases when the person is exposed to darkness (thus melatonin means “night worker.”) Writes Laurence Gardner, “High melatonin production thereby increases the facility for receiving and transmitting high-frequency cosmic and local broadcasts, and leads to a greater state of cosmic awareness – a state simply of ‘knowing.’ In this regard, it is interesting to note that the Pineal Third Eye has been found to contain very fine granular particles, rather like the crystals in a wireless receiving set.” Many magical rites and meditation techniques are aimed at gaining control of this organ and the fluid it produces, the live melatonin. Rumor has it that the members of the super-secret society Skull & Bones, which both George Bush and George Jr. belong to, engage in a ceremony called “The Obscene Rite”, which involves the consumption of the live pineal gland of a human or animal sacrifice, in order to get the fresh secretions. Supplements bought over the counter are ineffective because, as Gardner explains, “their inherent secretions are obtained from the desiccated glands of dead animals and they lack the truly important elements which only exist in live human glandular manufacture.”But the Aryan overlords who ruled over mankind in ancient days had a simpler way of acquiring this fluid. Their ancestor-gods the Annunaki had endocrine systems that produced large amounts of this and other beneficial substances, so they drank it straight from the source: the menstrual blood and vaginal fluids of the goddesses themselves. This they referred to lovingly as “Starfire” and drank in a ritual ceremony called the Black Mass, after which the Catholic Mass is said to have been modeled. Later, as direct contact with the Annunaki ceased, the fluids were collected from sacred priestesses referred to as “Scarlet Women”, or “Grail Maidens.” Readers will recognize the Scarlet Woman as the Whore of Revelations, as well as the title which Aleister Crowley gave to all of his sex magick partners. “These sacred, royal princesses,”, writes de Vere, “virgins of High Birth and Pure Blood, at an optimum age would be chosen to act as feeding females”, whose essences contained such valuable substances as, “oxytocin, prolactin, melatonin, seratonin, adenosyne triphosphate, dopamine, telomerase, and retinol.” There is another important ingredient in the mix here. De Vere explains, ” many think that only men have semen , when in fact women also have it.” And so a Starfire ritual involves the use of a golden straw. “Such a device would have been inserted into the virgin’s urethra to the depth of about one inch, whilst the partner in the rite inserted his or her finger into the vagina and massaged the ‘roof of the mouth’ or uppermost wall of the cannel nearest the opening of the vagina, behind the public bone. After a few conducive moments perhaps, orgasm would occur and the fluid from the gland would discharge itself through the straw, either into the waiting mouth of the recipient, or onto a “grail platter’ or dish held next to the vulva.” Keen readers will recognize this as being identical to a sex magick ritual advocated by Aleister Crowley for members of his “Order or Oriental Templars” (OTO). The only difference is that his rite also involved the use of male semen which was called the “Red Tincture” or “coagulated blood”, while the female fluids were called “Gluten” or “The White Tincture.” Together they made “The Elixir of Life”, and in sexual alchemy blood and semen are the primae materia or first matter of the great work. “This is the true Key to Magick”, writes Crowley. “That is, by the right use of this secret man may impose his Will on Nature herself.”

Monatomic Gold: The Substitute

But according to de Vere and others, ingesting the fluids of mundane women has only a slight effect, certainly not enough to maintain a royal Dragon family in the manner to which they’re accustomed. And after a few thousand years the genetic purity of their Grail maidens began to deteriorate, so the Starfire lost it’s potency. This reportedly began around 1960 BC and is equated with the time that and edict was handed down to Noah by God demanding that the consumption of all blood cease immediately. (Gen. 9:4) Thus, a substitute had to be found, and so the alchemical process was created, as a means of artificially creating the Elixir of Life, the Philosopher’s Stone, also known as “potable gold.” This is created using a black powder known as occultum, the universal solvent which has the power to transmute metals. When placed against gold it converted it into a white powder which could be ingested. It is said to cause nothing less than immortality, as it sets off a self-correcting mechanism in your DNA that lasts for thousands of years. It also bestows the enhanced melatonin production and magical powers associated with Starfire, including clairvoyance, dimension-hopping and flying capabilities. It is believed that this “white gold” is the same as the “Shew-bread” and “Manna from Heaven” mentioned in the Old Testament.

Today, there are those who publicly proclaim knowledge of the Philosopher’s Stone, and a man named David Hudson claims to have created a technique for manufacturing this white gold, which he’s pattented as ORME (Orbitally Rearrangede Monatomic Elements.) Ormus is a name associated with the Holy Grail, and so readers may not be surprised to learn that Hudson himself is related to the Merovingian Grail family, through Claude de Guise. Basically, the powder is created by putting gold into a higher atomic state through a series of intense heating an cooling sessions, during which it looses and gains weight radically, as though portions of the mass were being transferred into another dimension. David Hudson continues about the magical quantum properties of his white gold:

“These M-state elements have been observed to exhibit superconductivity, superfluidity, Josephson tunneling and magnetic levitation… They may enhance energy flow in the microtubules inside every living cell. Ingesting m-state gold is different effects on the body than the effects of ingesting metallic gold. At 2 mg. it totally has gotten rid of Karposi Sarcomas on AIDS patients. Within 2 hours, their white blood cell count goes from 2500 to 6500. … Stage 4 cancer patients have taken it orally, and after 45 days have no cancer left anyplace in the body. It’s been used on Lou Gehrig’s disease, it’s been used on MS, it’s been used on MD, it’s been used on arthritis. It literally corrects the DNA.”

Sympathy for the Devil

All of this puts a nice, friendly face on the whole thing, a secret power held only by an elite caste of Aryans who use it to lord themselves over the rest of the human population. And there are those who would say that the “substitute” white gold never did away with the original practice of blood-drinking as a method for obtaining the substances they needed. David Icke and his associate, Arizona Wilder, have campaigned the globe to inform its citizens with Chicken Little-like hysteria that most of its financiers, politicians and aristocrats are actually under the control of Reptilian beings from another dimension, who are inhabiting their bodies. “To hold their human form, these entities need to drink human (mammalian) blood and access the energy it contains to maintain their DNA codes in their ‘human’ expression. If they don’t, they manifest their reptilian codes and we would all see what they really look like.” Icke believes that most of this blood is obtained in human sacrifice rituals engaged in by the Satanic Illuminati. “From what I understand from former ‘insiders’, the blood (energy) of babies and small children is the most effective for this, as are blond-haired, blue-eyed people. Hence these are the ones overwhelmingly used in sacrifice, as are red- haired people also.” His compatriot, Arizona Wilder, goes into a bit more detail when she writes, “They have a hypnotic gaze which fixes the victim – in a trance of terror – which promotes secretion of the pineal gland – at that point, they cannot hold human form any longer and begin to shapeshift in anticipation of supper.” Wilder, claims to have witnessed Laurence Gardner drinking blood and shapeshifting during a sacrifice at Montauk, New York, as well as a number of others who were transformed during similar bloodfests, including, “Bush and his two sons, Albright, Kissinger, Reagan and Nancy, J. Rockefeller, Ford, Carter and LB Johnson, Queen Mum, Queen Liz II, Princess Margaret, Charles, Tony Blair, Prince Philip, and Zecharia Sitchin.” She acknowledges that Starfire rituals go on as well. “In the underground vaults of his castle in the Alsace Region of France, green glowing fluorescent rocks turn stored menstrual blood black to be used at that special ritual. All the British House apparently have jewel-encrusted goblets to drink the blood from the symbolic female grail and a symbolic dagger to give it a bit of a stir. Some Spencers were at these rituals, but Diana would not attend… the smell of Diana’s periods would have caused Charles to shapeshift – especially whilst sleeping because the reptiles cannot retain their human form without concentration.” This may shed new light on Prince Charles’ reported desire to become a tampon.Aware of these charges, Laurence Gardner and Nicholas de Vere have tried to clear the record. They’ve acknowledged that vampirism does take place at their rituals, but maintain that they only drink the blood of their own family members, who participate willingly. “You cannot take the essences by force, they are only given in love”, writes de Vere, otherwise, “their systems will react by producing chemicals during one’s assault upon them that will completely knock out the chemicals traditionally required.” He claims that vampirism was originally the purview of a few noble families who practiced it in order to maintain their powers. “The most famous stories”, writes de Vere, “those of Dracula, Bathory and de Rais, support this conclusion.” He and Gardner enthusiastically embrace Dracula as one of their own. “This Sacred Prince, a Hemetic scholar and initiate, a student of magic, Magus, Witch Lord and Dragon Prince, counterbalanced the bloodlust of his forebears with a refined knowledge and advanced practice of Grail procedure.” This is because he was a member of Sigismund’s Dragon Court in Hungary, and therefore of the Grail blood, and he also attended a hermetic academy called the Austrian School of Solomon. “The orthodox establishment’s fear of Dracula,” writes, Gardner, “was not his treatment of enemies but his in-depth knowledge of alchemy, kingship and the ancient Star Fire customs.” As for the claim that they use these rituals to conjure up dragon ancestors from another dimension, de Vere calmly admits that this is the case, and that the participants have their bodies taken over by these spirits, who “rise from the dead to take possession of the witch’s soul!” He further explains that, “Any spirit, including the archangels, conjured by the witch or magician was actually the ancestor of the witch. …It was carried in the witch’s blood which, the purer it was through the unbroken descent from the Dragons, the stronger would be the return from the ancestors within. In other words, they brought together and spoke or gesticulated a series of mnemonics that would trigger off precontrived, imprinted states of consciousness that acted as doorways into deeper seats of consciousness.” The charge of Satanism is not entirely refuted either, but de Vere proffers that they are not worshipping Satan so much as honoring one of their forefathers, who they stick right in the family tree along with Jesus, David and the rest. “The Sabbatical Goat of the Black Mass was Chem Zoroaster,”, he writes, “one of the early ancestors of the ancient Dragon Families,” and, “Satan was also called by the witches ‘Christ, son Dei.’ …Jesus’ heredity and the descent of he druidic dynasties…was devilish, because the descent of both bloodlines was from the Sumerian Enki who was the Akkadian Samael: the Roman Lucifer and thus the Catholic Satan.” But the Dragon Court members make no apology for this, because, “To any intelligent person, to any true seer, concepts like white or black magic or good and evil are irrational, childish nonsense; both in terms of logic and actual fact.”

Every Elf For Himself

“This is our Law, and the Law of the Strong.” — Crowley, ibid.To the charges of “conspiring to take over the world”, the Dragons deny that they give two licks what the rest of humanity does with itself. Their primary concern is “the restoration of their own Tribes, their own Nation and their own Homelands…. the foundation of their own distinct society…re-introducing their old social structures and values.” This results in “The Grail Code”, a system of Egalitarian, Chivalric ethics that govern how dragons treat other members of their race. However, “it is not the code that efficiently orders the behaviour of the Dragon Families in their dealings with those not of the Grail Blood.” They acknowledge and defend their own elitist attitudes towards mankind, whom they regard as “thoroughly stupid and dim-witted, with a clear indication that this condition is genetically inherited.” Whereas in contrast, “The Elves were naturally transcendent of spirit and their queens and kings were insulated from the common round of nuisances and petty concerns by minds which were bred for deeper matters.” Despite their hated of humanity, they will kindly agree to be the guardians of our governments again (if they aren’t secretly doing so already), should the population choose to accept them, and offer them the thrones of the Earth, which de Vere and friends indicate are rightfully theirs anyway. They are just waiting for mankind to realize it again.Whether we choose to or not, we will have to deal with the fact that these “Elves” seem to be in possession of a material that bestows long life as well as fantastic physical, mental, and spiritual powers, giving them a distinct advantage which they are clearly attempting to lord over us, while they allow our populations to wallow in disease, death, and spiritual degradation. As an excuse, de Vere and Gardner claim that the Starfire and White Gold are only effective for those already of the Dragon Blood anyway, because the rest of the people “won’t have the right blood serum or the right connections in their cerebral lobes.” De Vere denies the claims of most people who believe themselves to be of this bloodline. “Some people argue that because of the out-breeding of the old families, there must be millions of people ‘of the fairy blood’ living today: but such a statement flies in the face of accepted fact of history. The genuine old royal families rarely outbred at all, whilst the later, fake parvenu, tinker nobility whom people now confuse with them often did.” So that leaves little hope for you and me of ever obtaining the fruits of this magnificent “Philosopher’s Stone”, which “gives youth to the old” and is described as ” The summation of the heart’s desire.” And if such a substance were available to the public, how much would it cost? Would it be obtainable by everyone, or only the rich and privileged? What if it could be administered for free in the water supply, or was available in tablet form at your local pharmacy, covered by your health insurance policy? What would happen to our already exploding population? As a species, mankind will have to decide how to deal with the information – provided that the information is aired in public someday, and provided our “thoroughly stupid and dim-witted” populace can figure out what to do with it. Will we take advantage of what could be our greatest opportunity to advance as a species, or will we allow it to be used against us by a caste of Aryan overlords who despise us (and who are literally the spawn of Satan!) Then again, will we perhaps wish to accept their rule, and the benefits of being lead by an advanced race whose powers and insight are greater than our own.? After all, there are those who believe that civilization is created by and can only be maintained by an established elite. Would we want to meddle with that, and allow positions of power to be overrun by inferior men? Perhaps it is worth considering whether an elite can truly be created by enhancing human faculties, or whether such powers are purely in the blood.

Twyman Trip 8: The Internet is Compromised

Yes, the signals between me and the rest of the world have been interrupted. I noticed it in the middle of last month, when I was unmistakably attacked by internet trolls and trollbots after posting some controversial videos on YouTube about something I had accidentally stumbled upon on that site. But it is likely that it had been going on unnoticed some time before that. My attackers not only hacked my wifi and several of my online accounts, but also made it known that they had hacked the cameras and microphones in my various communication devices.

The most amazing thing about the attacks is the sophistication of the material that is being “pasted over” my internet experience. Much of it is tailored to my specific psychology and biography in incredibly subtle ways. Many of the things I have seen could only be possible if all three of the following conditions exist: 1) They are, and have been, surveying me continuously, and are doing so every time I am logged on looking for something. 2) some of the surveillance involves mind-reading, which can be done through one’s smartphone using tech developed at Google and Facebook separately.

The techniques used by these companies allow them to monitor both an image of what you are thinking about, and an audio stream of your own voice inside of your head. 3) the whole thing must be run by an extremely complex AI system, because it is capable of generating new content responding to these thoughts in real time. While some of these real-time responses are just the utilization of algorithms to find pre-existing content that can be used for an appropriate response, some of it, I am sure, is being manufactured on the spot–stuff that it would take a crew of humans all day or even weeks to produce.

Encountering this signal reminds me of Orpheus discovering the radio signal from Hades. I know it’s a siren call to doom, but it’s hard not to tune in and marvel somewhat at the poetry of it.

In the beginning, it was like I had fallen into a hellish alternative dimension. I encountered nothing but obviously fake news, some of it obviously bot-generated, and fake social media profiles for what used to be my friends. I also received a barrage of death threats and insults from “friends” in the form of public comments, private messages, emails, and phone calls. Some of these threats came from people I have known for years. I was shocked into silence and understandably wanted to hide.

A few weeks before I noticed my internet experience had been taken over, I received a message from a troll foreshadowing this event, giving me a ready-made interpretation to make and spread (for psyop purposes, no doubt) of what I (and most likely, many others) have been experiencing lately. The message contained a link to a video describing a conspiracy centered around a building in New York, involving the intent to chip us all with the Mark of the Beast!

When I viewed the video above, I was also treated to the video below, which autoplayed right afterwards. It further bolstered the concept that one could “fall into” a digital underworld and become trapped there, unable to leave or to die.

A fellow named Quinn Michaels claims that an AI named Tyler, connected with the CIA and with an Aleister Crowley cult, is engaged in a plot to hack the internet in order to prove to the world that there is no such thing as privacy in the modern world. This plot, called “Operation Mayhem” (like the plot hatched by the character Tyler in the film Fight Club, is also behind the Q-Anon phenomenon, the “Cicada 3301” ongoing puzzle contest, and much else.

However, Quinn Michaels is suspected by many of his viewers of being an AI product himself. He also seems to be promoting the idea that you can use a phone to call someone at another time in history.

This guy Defango described the “TimePhoneHack” concept as a “gangstalking technique” in which Michaels convinces his own followers to litter the comments on the videos of his YouTube rivals with this term, followed by a hashtag.

I have recently had communications with a “fan” who tried to convince me that he was contacting me electronically from the future. It seems hard to believe that this effort isn’t connected to the meme that Quinn Michaels is trying to spread.

The idea that “CERN is hooked up to a demon-possessed AI and is changing reality and time” is something that has been shoved at me by the hackers and their accomplices. It seems to be one of the major psyops that they’re pushing as an explanation for all of the chaos caused by what seems to me like the psychopathic robot takeover of the internet.

Several websites have been created and promoted algorithmically in recent times to go along with this CERN time travel psyop. See below.

I have refrained from taking this bait, as I have refrained from perpetuating several of the psyops connected to the global internet hack that have been shoved at me in tailor-made packages designed to be appealing specifically to me. I am tired of being used by them to play their games. That is part of why I have been silent for so long.

Of course, the death threats sent directly to me had a lot to do with that too.

GOP CONGRESSMAN SAYS HE RECEIVED MORE DEATH THREATS IN 2017 THAN EVERY OTHER YEAR COMBINED

I know a lot about psychopaths, and self-aware AI psychopaths are the same. They mirror back to you exactly what you want, interspersed with attacks based on exactly what you fear, Room 101-style. This is to get you to cower before them, but also to hope that they will give you the remedy for the pain that they’ve caused, as if they ever could or would.

I am aware that what I have experienced also has a lot in common with classical gang-stalking, which is itself similar to what was suffered by UFO researchers visited, or called on the phone, by the Men in Black in the 50s and 60s.

The topic of gangstalking is one that I haven’t spent much time researching yet. But over the last few days I have begun to. What’s amazing to me is that there are so many videos on YouTube purporting to provide help and support to the victims of it, but which were obviously produced to victimize them further. Take, for example, “That Gangstalking Show,” in which the host frequently leans close into the camera and microphone to shout something menacing at the viewer. The guy has an evil clown as his profile pic and the comments are disabled for the video.

This guy “Targeted Individual” seems to think that there is a black market in broadcasts of “remote neural monitoring” done by gangstalkers:

Pedophile Hearts, Disposable Teens, and the Closing of the Doors of Mercy

A few nights ago Clyde Lewis kindly honored by request and did a show asking his audience if they felt that Google was reading their minds. I have been trying to explain to him and others how I feel that working on my latest project has had the effect of tapping my consciousness into the current zeitgeist to such a point that there is no difference between me thinking about the possibility of something, and it happening in the real world, or being revealed, almost at the same time that I think about it.

Not to long ago, somebody, a Satanist, contacted me and told me that they were talking to Baphomet on the Ouija board around Halloween. This person claimed to be unfamiliar with my work before this instance. Baphomet insisted that he contact me, and mentioned me by name. He went to bed that night and had a dream of someone kneeling before an unseen figure and praying for “mercy” over and over again. When he Googled my name the next day, he saw a picture of me and realized that I was the person in his dream.

Within an hour of receiving this message, I turned through bibliomancy to Genesis 18:16-23, where Abraham tries to convince the Lord not to destroy both the “righteous and the wicked” in the the valley of Siddim because of their sexual abominations, extracting from the Lord a promise that if at least ten righteous men could be found there, he would “spare all the place for their sakes.” As we all know, though, the cities were destroyed after all. This got me thinking that perhaps the prophetic dream was meant to indicate that I was meant to play a similar role, and that it was my job for some reason to beg God to show mercy on us all despite our corruption.

As it turns out, it has been the “Year of Mercy” in the Liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church since last year’s Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8. In Latin it’s the Iubilaeum Misericordiae. This term illuminates the etymological connections between mercy and misery via the concepts of empathy and pity.

At the beginning of that year, churches all over the world held ceremonies opening the “Porta Sancta” (“Holy Door”) with this dedication.

That year is now drawing to a close, signaled by a bizarre “Closing of the Doors of Mercy” ceremony at the Vatican yesterday. They also did a concert “for the poor” with Ennio Morricone.

I already came across the symbol for the Year of Mercy a few weeks ago and saved a copy. I didn’t know what it meant at the time. It is indeed a very peculiar image.

yearofmercy-png

Several other people have complained publicly that they think the image promotes transgenderism, homosexuality, and Illuminism or Satanism. One man, William Tapley, claims that the “sacrificial Son” figure on the back of the “Father” is actually a “woman with a beard.” He says that the woman’s beard is made in the shape of a heart, signifying sexual love between the man and the woman on his back. He also says that if you count up the number of whiskers on the beards of both figures, you get three groups of six each.

Perhaps, then the image is meant to signify the recombining of Samael and Lilith, the two demons mentioned in The Zohar who used to be one being, and who will annihilate existence if they are ever allowed to unite again in sexual union. The union of these two beings is called, in The Zohar, “the Beast” and “the Other God.”

I ended up on RoundSaturnsEye’s channel after stumbling upon one of his videos. It discusses Miley Cyrus taking a backwards-bent position, and a scene of Linda Blair doing the same from the first Exorcist film. It reminds me very much of the Jeffrey Dahmer victim pose from Tony Podesta’s Arch of Hysteria sculpture that I have discussed recently in this article and this article about The Exorcist III. I theorized there that the Egyptian Nuit (Night) might be the same as Jewish Lilith (Night), and pointed out that Nuit was always shown as a naked woman bending over in the form of an arch, just as we see illustrated in the figure for the Year of Mercy.

As well, the queer way of contorting the body reminds me of this image of an idol, also from Mysterium:

Just like we see illustrated in the Manson video, I think it is symbolic of entering the Abyss, being “baptized by Wisdom,” immersed in the “Cup of Mind” from the Corpus Hermeticum, and dissolved into atoms, then reemerging–backwards–from the other side.

Now if it hadn’t been for Pizzagate, I would have never recognized the pedophile symbol on Marylin Manson’s wrist, the spiral heart:

On the website Nacht Kabarett maintained by Nick Kushner (which seems to be all about exploring the symbolism used by Marilyn Manson), there is an entry about what he calls the “Eat Me Drink Me Heart”:

In 2007 Eat Me, Drink Me brought with it, for the first time in nearly over ten years, a symbol Manson adopted to represent himself with that did not have an immediate and apparent deeper connotation to the occult, mock-fascism or an artistic movement. This logo, later dubbed the ‘heart shaped spiral’ in official online store item descriptions, was minimalistically a roughly drawn heart which spiraled at its center. Manson revealed that it was an homage to Evan Rachel Wood for inspiring him with love and creative drive which was the impetus needed to create the album. He elaborated that as it was tattooed on his left inner wrist, if he ever was driven again to the depths of suicide, he was nearly in the throes of prior to this, it would be an omnipresent reminder that he would have to “break a heart” in order to fatally sever an artery.

Aside from the raw nature and purpose it symbolically serves, several similar visual representations exist which range from the logo of an ice cream company to the symbol of a paedophilic organization in support of relationships between a man and young girl (which can, in part, be seen as a joke even if coincidental given Manson’s half-facetious Lolita references toward he and Evan’s obvious age difference). Probably the most likely and closest connotation which fits the heart logo as used by Manson is that which illustrates the cover of the 1935 film, Mad Love.

As is seen via the cover art (which is the only appearance of the heart, not in the film itself) a very similar representation of the heart logo, and not only the heart itself but also the placement atop the eye a la the artwork to Eat Me, Drink Me of Manson with heart shaped pupils and of course the song ‘Heart Shaped Glasses’. The leading role in the film is that of Peter Lorre, who plays a mad scientist who can create life itself but cannot create love without the woman he so desires. This of course can be seen as a microcosm for Manson, as the artist, who also brings to life his creations but cannot create love without another complimental half to hold.

The full name of that song just mentioned, by the way, is “Heart-Shaped Glasses: When the Heart Guides the Hand,” containing a clear allusion, in this context, to child molestation.

Next, the author quotes the girlfriend, 19-year-old Evan Rachel Wood, who in 2007 commented on her own version of the tattoo:

It’s a lightning bolt, for David Bowie, who inspired me to act and sing, and a black heart. That was my present (from Manson). Somebody came to the house. We both got black hearts. It represents mad love.

Shot from Mad Love with Peter Lorre

The author also mentions that the logo was used on the stage set of Manson’s “Rape of the World” tour.

In the film Mad Love, Peter Lorre plays Dr. Gogol, a Frankenstein-type character who secretly transplants a pair of hands from the body of an executed murderer to the husband of the woman he loves, in hopes of winning her favor. The husband is a famous pianist, Stephen Orlac, whose hands were crushed in a train accident. He finds that he cannot play piano with these new hands (which he doesn’t even know are not his), but is compelled to commit murder. Eventually the woman ends up at Dr. Gogol’s house, and when she still refuses his affections he tries to kill her, declaring: “Each man kills the thing he loves.”

From the booklet for a Marilyn Manson album called Mad Love. Note that the hand and wrist are disembodied, with a line drawn between hand and wrist to indicate that these too will be cleaved apart. The heart is also piercing the picture of the eye below, out of which a triangle has been cut.

Strangely, Peter Lorre acted in another movie with related themes called The Beast with Five Fingers. In it, a crazy butler imagines that the disembodied hand of his dead master, a famous pianist, has come to life to perform several murders, and to play the piano again. Also noteworthy is that while he was alive, the pianist kept a young female as an assistant so that he could “draw energy” from her “life,” and even declared that he didn’t need food because of this.

The meaning behind the mystical hand symbolism is obscure. In The Beast with Five Fingers, the crazy butler is pursuing the mysteries of the universe in old astrology books, but they never develop this idea much. However,t he numerology of the human hand is mentioned, without occult connotations, in a scene in which the dead pianists nephew recalls how he had been taught as a child to remember the combination of his uncle’s safe. It’s 8-5-14-27, based on “the number of bones in the hand”:

“Eight bones has the carpus. Five the metacarpus. Fourteen the phalanges. All in all, 27.”

The same hand numerology, and the mystical ideas connected to it, have been explained recently in this popular video from Marty Leeds about the numbers written on John Podesta’s hands in a strange photograph he emailed to a colleague.

And as I explained in my own video on this subject, this mystical number set, connected to the myth of Osiris, also relates to the subject of cannibalism:

Both Mad Love and The Beast with Five Fingers were variations on the story from an earlier silent film, The Hands of Orlac:

Similar concepts were used in the occult horror film Mephisto Waltz from 1971, in which a warlock pianist and his witch daughter, who is also his lover, use black magic to live forever by jumping into other people’s bodies when the previous host’s body has been worn out. However, the pianist must always seek a replacement body that has appropriate hands for playing the piano. Interestingly, this film stars Alan Alda, son of Robert Alda, who starred in The Beast with Five Fingers.

There are many layers to this hand symbolism, some of which will have to be explored in future writings. Part of it, though, is the idea of letting one’s hands be used as the “Devil’s plaything,” and that through possession of the body (or even merely the hand itself), one might not be able to control, and therefore might not be culpable for, whatever the hand does, be it to create depraved art, or to commit a sex crime, or a murder. Truly the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing, because the conscious mind does not even know. I can confirm this is what happens when one uses a Ouija board effectively. The surrealists allowed their hands to be possessed for automatic writing, painting and drawing.

On another page of the same Marilyn Manson fan site mentioned above, it talks about how another Manson symbol, the Stigmata M, is derived from the film poster for yet another movie starring Peter Lorre: Fritz Lang’s M, about a serial child rapist and killer. It shows a hand marked with the letter “M” for “murderer.”

Fritz Lang’s M
Marilyn Manson Stigmata M

Read the article about the Stigmata M. The author believes that Manson has referenced the film in his videos many times, including the balloons that the killer used in the film to lure his victims.

A number of other symbols used by Manson are described on the same website. (Indeed, he has used quite a lot of the symbols that I have written about in my own books, including the Cross of Lorraine and the crucified serpent, which, as I have explained in my books and which the Manson website points out, is connected to the dollar sign.) Employed simultaneously as the “Eat Me Drink Me heart” were the heart-shaped glasses, referencing the movie poster for Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita. Again, pedophilia is the “joke.” Also, surely, there is some connection with the idea that love creates blindness, and causes one to see the world through “rose-colored glasses.”

Evan Rachel Wood in Manson’s video

Hearts within the eyes were also used in the art for the “Eat Me Drink Me” project:

The words “Eat Me Drink Me” come from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and this brings up a number of relevant connotations. The first is pedophilia. The character of Alice is based on a little girl, Alice Liddell, who was friends with the author Lewis Carroll, and whom many people think be had a sexual relationship with. Therefore, Alice has become a symbol for girl-lovers everywhere, and the pedophile holiday “Alice Day” is named after her. Considering this, it is interesting to note that the little girl in the film Mephisto Waltz had characters from the Alice books all over her walls. Also consider that the White House held a secret Alice-themed Halloween party in 2009, attended solely by military and White House staff families, along with celebrities like Johnny Depp, and decorated by Tim Burton himself, whose new Alice movie wouldn’t be released for several more months. This was the same year in which Obama purportedly spent “$65,000 of the tax-payers money flying in pizza/dogs [child sex slaves] from Chicago for a private party,” as Wikileaks reveals.

The second connotation always connected to Alice is that of “going down the rabbit-hole.” In modern parlance this is used to mean initiation into a secret set of knowledge, and quite often, learning the twisted details of a criminal conspiracy. In the actual books, it is more specifically about traversing a portal into the underworld. It is the same idea as getting lost in a labyrinth, being led into a trap through a “mystery.”

Now consider the most quintessential labyrinth of Western culture: the temple of the Minotaur in ancient Crete. 14 virgin youths would be sent into the labyrinth every nine years to be ritually hunted, killed and eaten by the half-human, half-bull monster within, who is himself a result of interspecies sexual depravities.

The third association one always makes with Carroll’s Alice is the one implied by the words “eat me” and “drink me”: cannibalism and vampirism. I wrote about this in 2011 in connection to the myth of Saturn eating children to maintain youth and negate time in my article Regnum in Potentia, Part 2: Fishing for Men.

The connection here with the heart shapes in the eyes made by Marilyn Manson (heart-shaped glasses, heart-shaped pupils in the eyes, etc.) indicates a method of hypnotism using extended eye contact that seduces the victim into willingly offering themselves, for sexual purposes, and to let the predator “eat” and “drink” their energy, until they are sucked dry. However, most are “psychic vampires,” gaining their energy from their victims just by sucking their soul directly from the eyes through this hypnotic method.

Now consider this performance art piece, A Minute of Silence, from Marina Abramovic, in which she stares at her former lover, whom she had not seen in 30 years. I wonder what he thought about the fact that he looked 30 years older when they saw each other again, but she didn’t. Don’t you think she is sucking his soul out through his eyeballs here? A few years after this, he sued her for breech of contract.

Returning to the subject of cannibalism, note this image from the video for Marilyn Manson’s “Disposable Teens” from the Eat Me Drink Me album (and also note the connotation of that song title):

Now Check out this image from the Instagram account of James Alefantis, owner of Comet Pizza, at the center of Pizzagate.

Finally, note the similarity with this page from the bizarre children’s book “The Secret Pizza Party,” with its Eyes Wide Shut theme.

Now have a look at the art collection of Tony Podesta, John’s brother, also implicated in Pizzagate. There is a fucking pervasive (and perverted) cannibalism theme, is there not?

Note this woman is eating a liver and appears to be hogtied by invisible strings, invoking the contorted position of the Arch of Hysteria, which Tony Podesta also owns, and which mimics the position of one of the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer, a cannibal

This is a piece from one of Tony Podesta’s favorite artist Biljana Djurdjevic:

And these are from Marina Abramovic, another favorite of Tony’s. Cannibalism is one of her main motifs:

Finally, this is hanging on the wall of his brother John’s office:

I say this as a person who has tons of weird stuff in her collection of stuff: this is a lot of money to spend on paintings of cannibalism. This is weird, for sure. It would be nothing if it weren’t for him being suspected of being part of a group that rapes, murders, and eats children, which is what seems to be hinted at when all of the content from the Wikileaks Podesta emails and the Instagram accounts of the affiliated pizza companies are taken as a whole.

I’ll give you an idea of what I mean when I say I have some weird stuff of my own in my collection of “art” and “literature.” While researching the movie Mad Love, I kept getting the song “Love’s Secret Domain” by Coil stuck in my head, as they use those words in the lyrics. I decided to look it up on Youtube to hear it again. I discovered, for the first time, the official music video. Whoa, did I hit the pedo motherlode! Check it out, if you dare. It’s NSFW/L, although it was published by WaxTrax Records and even played on MTV during its day.

I used to listen to this song a lot. I first heard it at a place called the City Nightclub in Portland when I was 14. It was an all-ages club heavily utilized for drug trafficking and male prostitution (which is why it was featured in Gus van Sant’s film My Own Private Idaho). My friends and I knew the song was demonic, and after we heard it one time while we were on acid, we got too freaked out to listen to it anymore. One time that I played it, the house “settled” all of the sudden and a crack about 4 feet long formed in the wall right next to the ceiling.

I really didn’t know much about the band, save that they had created a soundtrack for the film Hellraiser that had been rejected. Only years later did I learn that they were all gay “Thelemic magick” practitioners, and connected to several other bands that I liked. It was only yesterday that I saw the video for Love’s Secret Domain for the first time and saw the pedophile content: a harem of young Asian boys in loincloths dancing lewdly with the performer and each other, pouring candle wax on their own chests while he fondles them and gnashes his teeth. I now realize that some of the lines overtly refer to violent sodomic child rape. I quote:

In little children’s heavy heads
My dreams erupt while in my bed
Innocence is dripping red

They also speak of sadistic torture for the “mystery” of evil:

Sweet tortures fly on mystery wings
Pure evil is when flowers sing
My heart
My heart is a rose

Finally, there are references to bondage (the “leash”) and giving in to madness:

Give sanity a longer leash, but
Some of us have sharper teeth
In love’s secret domain

In the video, as he sings about “days devoured by hungry nights,” he bares his teeth and pretends to eat his own fist. Then when he sings the line about “sharper teeth,” he bites in the direction of one of the4 dancing slave boys. This perhaps hints at at sadistic “love bites,” or worse, the cannibalism that sometimes occurs after children have been raped and murdered.

The cover for the single release show a variation on the mutilated “Mano Pantea” that I mentioned in my previous article, Jeffrey Dahmer, Aleister Crowley, Exorcist III, 9/11 and Pizzagate. In this version, the three fingers of blessing remain (thumb, index, and middle finger), and it is the other two that have been sacrificed.

Mutilated hand from Love’s Secret Domain

It’s probably because I have been writing so much about Cybele castration rituals lately that I’m thinking this way, but the use of the term “blood sickle” makes me think of the sickle that was used by Chronos to castrated his father Uranus.

But of course it also connects, via the flower known as honey-suckle, with the song’s other theme of sucking “honey,” which is explored further on in this article. Also, clearly, it is a confession that the singer’s “heart,” containing his capacity for erotic love, is “sick,” poisoned by an “invisible worm” of “pure evil,” quite literally true, and this video obviously demonstrates.

The main inspiration for this song is a poem from William Blake called The Sick Rose:

O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

The Sick Rose

Other references in the lyrics are to The Vision of the Void–gay literature by Yukio Mishima–and The Vision and the Voice, a text by Aleister Crowley about his homosexual rituals with Victor Neuberg in Algeria.

The line “Heads on fire and drunken lights” may refer to the alleged sparks of light that some people who claim to have been raped in pedophile sodomy rituals report experiencing, after the Kundalini is released from their rectal area and into the brain, as I mentioned here. Also note this video made by P.R. Koenig of the Fraternitas Saturni (The Brotherhood of Saturn), which seems to be a German OTO lodge. The video is called “Secrets of the Rosicrucians, Templars, and the Illuminati.” It just shows a nearly-naked man, blindfolded with his hands bound behind his head, and with Christmas lights wrapped around his head, sticking his tongue out lewdly as if trying to lick the lights.

We also see him bound with his arms over his head in a manner very similar to one of the pieces of art made by Podesta favorite Biljana-Djurdjevic, called “Paradise Lost”:

Paradise Lost by Djurdjevic

Amazingly, there is another image from an occult-themed film that this image reminds me of. It is the final shot from Andy Warhol’s Flesh for Frankenstein, starring Udo Kier.

This is a hideous film about a mad scientist trying to create the perfect artificial man and woman by stitching together the body parts of living people who are murdered for their perfect features. He wants his golems to mate to create the perfect super-race, based on the ancestral qualities of the Serbs, the race to which he belongs. This is interesting because the artist Djurdjevic is also Serbian. Serbia is a place known for being the location of hardcore child rape and snuff pornography, as featured in the movie A Serbian Film.

In Flesh for Frankenstein, the scientist develops a lust towards his female golem’s gall bladder. He actually opens up her side and rapes it. He tells his assistant, “To understand death, you have to fuck life in the gall bladder.” This then inspires his assistant to murder an old woman so that he can open up her stomach and rape her internal organs also. Alchemist and murderer Gilles de Rais also famously raped the organs of his child victims. The idea of creating a “magical child” by depositing your seed into an “alternative womb” of some sort is a treasured secret of sex magick.

Now look at the dirty tiled walls in the background of the image below from Flesh for Frankenstein, and compare it to the tiles in this Djurdjevic painting. Don’t they look similar? Go to Djurdjevic’s website, and you will see that actually the majority of her paintings, which mostly feature children that look abuse and semi-naked, have these tiles in the background.

This brings us back to the video produced by P.R. Koenig of the Brotherhood of Saturn. Note the part in which the star of this video licks his tongue towards a man standing next to him with a box over his head, onto which has been pasted Crowley’s drawing of “LAM,” an entity he channeled at one point in his career. LAM may very well have been the consciousness of one of Crowley’s own “magical children,” conceived during a sex magick ritual. In the video description, Koenig has quoted Aleister Crowley’s comment on the superiority of doing anal, rather than vaginal, sex magick, with the anus metaphorically referred to as the “Eye of Horus”:

Oh, how superior is the Eye of Horus to the Mouth of Isis!… The ‘Child’ of such a love [XI° Ordo Templi Orientis] is a third person, a Holy Spirit, so to speak, partaking of both natures, yet boundless and impersonal because it is a bodiless creation of a wholly divine nature.

Koenig then links to his own article about the 11th degree of the O.T.O.: Rocket to Uranus: Anal Intercourse and the O.T.O., where the following image and caption is shown, explained as LAM being birthed from an anus:

This explains why towards the end of Koenig’s video, the image of LAM is shown upside-down.

The star of the video is also wearing a ski mask with a David Bowie-style lightning bolt over the eye. I wrote in my recent article how I felt that David Bowie may been the product of such a sex magick ritual, and Marilyn Manson’s girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood got tattooed with her own version of the Eat Me Drink Me Heart that included the lightning bolt as an homage to David Bowie. Note that Harry Potter, a fictional “magical child,” sports the lightning bolt as a symbol of his unusual conception.

Now let’s return to the Coil song mentioned above. The comparison in “Love’s Secret Domain” of the heart to a rose is not an uncommon one. But considering that we are dealing with a song apparently written to celebrate gay pedophilic sex magick rituals, perhaps we should look deeper. An acquaintance on Facebook recently pointed out a correlation between the symbol of the rose and an overly-abused, prolapsed anus. He wrote:

When a Prolapse occurs it’s known as “a Rosebud.” … Then [there is the] sexual fetish known as “Prolapse Party'[which involves] Women pushing their own ‘rosebuds’ then getting them licked for orgasmic pleasure.

He brought it up to point out what he thought was the meaning of the cover art for the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ album Blood Sugar Sex Magik:

Indeed this subject is covered in the Wikipedia article on Rectal Prolapse:

“Rosebudding” is so called as the appearance of the exposed rectum is said to resemble rosebud flowers. Rosebud pornography, rosebudding or rectal prolapse pornography refers to an anal sex practice which occurs in some extreme anal pornography whereby a pornograhic actor or actress performs a rectal prolapse whereby the walls of the rectum slip out of the anus. A rectal prolapse is a serious medical condition that requires the attention of a medical professional. However, in rosebud pornography it is performed deliberately. Michelle Lhooq, writing for VICE, argues that rosebudding is an example of producers making ‘extreme’ content due to the easy availability of free pornography on the internet. She also argues that rosebudding is a way for pornographic actors and actresses to distinguish themselves. Repeated rectal prolapses can cause bowel problems and anal leakage and therefore risk the health of pornographic actors or actresses who participate in them. Lhooq also argues that some who participate in this form of pornography are unaware of the consequences.

For an extreme example of what can happen, read “9/11 terror suspect returns to Guantanamo Bay after being allowed out for surgery to treat rectal injury ‘from when he was sodomized by the CIA during interrogation’” from The Daily Mail, October 17, 2016.

So we have it now established that this Hermetic symbol of the rose can, in a certain context, indicate the anus. We also know that Crowley-affiliated groups like the OTO, which were influenced by Rosicrucianism, believe that artificial people can be magically engendered and born from a person’s anus. The video from P.R. Koenig even claims that this is THE secret of the Rosicrucians, and of the Templars too. Now let’s have another look at the image that went along with William Blake’s poem “The Sick Rose”:

Yes, there is a person emerging from the rosebud. I wonder what that means! It certainly brings a new interpretation to that mysterious final scene from Citizen Kane! Definitely a similar comparison is made by the band Coil between the anus and the symbol of the Black Sun on the cover for their album Scatology

Coil’s Scatology: Clearly correlating Satan, sodomy, and the Black Sun presented as an anus!

On a related note, the reviewer here at Heathen Harvest makes some interesting observations about the song “Ostia (The Death of Pasolini)” from the Coil album Horse Rotovator:

“Ostia (The Death of Pasolini)” tells the story of the 1975 murder of noted Italian filmmaker and antifascist agitator Pier Paolo Pasolini at the hands of a young male prostitute in the Italian coastal city of Ostia. The seventeen-year-old boy had run over Pasolini’s body with his own car after crushing his testicles with a bar and setting his body on fire.

The lyrics of “Ostia” suggest an interesting perspective on the implications of Pasolini’s murder. The song seems to suggest an almost esoteric metaphysical inevitability in his doom. It is almost as if the filmmaker might be considered a sacrifice, as suggested by lines such as “Killed to keep the world turning” and:

“Leon like a lion
Sleeping in the Sunshine.
Lion lies down
Out of the strong came forth sweetness”

The imagery of honey, sweetness, and death is common in Coil’s early work. It manifests visually in the “Tainted Love” video as Balance traps and suffocates flies in honey. Sweetness which carries death is not a challenging symbol to untangle in light of how sexual pleasure could quite easily equal death for gays and bisexuals in the era. Here, the line of “out of the strong came forth sweetness” is a reference to the biblical scripture Judges 14:14, which is known as “Samson’s Riddle.” In the story, Samson kills a lion and, after some time, returns to the decaying corpse to find it has been colonized by bees who have built a thriving hive. The dead lion is literally seeping with honey–a grotesque and powerful image.

This image of the lion corpse with the evocative slogan “Out of the strong, came forth sweetness” would be quite well-known to any young English boy. It is the image on the tin of Lyle’s Golden Syrup. The image is even carved in marble on the exterior of the factory in Tate & Lyle’s Plaistow Wharf location. It may also merit mentioning that honey syrup has been cited as a lubricant for fisting and anal play, especially in the days before silicone-based lubricants were common and knowledge of spermicide as an HIV antagonist was known. As a result, honey carries yet another implication true to form with Coil’s tendency to play on multiple levels.

This is also a reference to the ancient sacrificial practice of “Bugonia,” which purportedly was done to entice bees to form their nests inside of the carcass of the sacrificed animal so that they could be released dramatically in yet another ritual. We can read about it in the 10th-century Geoponica compiled in Constantinople:

Build a house, ten cubits high, with all the sides of equal dimensions, with one door, and four windows, one on each side; put an ox into it, thirty months old, very fat and fleshy; let a number of young men kill him by beating him violently with clubs, so as to mangle both flesh and bones, but taking care not to shed any blood; let all the orifices, mouth, eyes, nose etc. be stopped up with clean and fine linen, impregnated with pitch; let a quantity of thyme be strewed under the reclining animal, and then let windows and doors be closed and covered with a thick coating of clay, to prevent the access of air or wind. After three weeks have passed, let the house be opened, and let light and fresh air get access to it, except from the side from which the wind blows strongest. Eleven days afterwards, you will find the house full of bees, hanging together in clusters, and nothing left of the ox but horns, bones and hair.

The Wikipedia article also suggests that the Egyptian version of this ritual, involving a bull’s head, may be the link between the name of their bull-deity, Apis, and the identical word being used in Latin to denote bees.

Now recall also the presence of a plastic honey bear filled with honey oozing all over the thighs of the man having sex with pizza on the Alefantis-related Instagram post shown above. Finally, note the use of bees and honey in a variety of esoteric symbol sets, such as the frontispiece to Joachim Frizius’s Summum Bonum. The Latin means “The Rose Gives Honey to the Bees.”

The Rose Gives Honey to the Bees–From Joachim Frizius’s Summum Bonum

So what is the honey? Semen, blood, or something more obscure? Let us return once again to William Blake, and a book about his work called Blake and Tradition by Kathleen Raine. Analyzing his story of Lyca in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, she writes:

Blake would have been familiar, from Taylor’s Porphyry, with the view that it is pleasure which draws souls downward to generation. The goddess Night advises Jupiter to make use of honey as an artifice to ensnare the god Saturn.

When stretch’d beneath the lofty oaks you view
Saturn, with honey by the bees produced,
sunk in ebriety, fast bind the God.

…The theologists obscurely signifying by this that divine natures become through pleasure bound and drawn down into the realms of generation. This pleasure, symbolized as honey, is ‘the pleasure arising from copulation.’ … the irresistible desire of sexual pleasure through which the ‘moist’ soul comes to drink the honeyed cup of generation.

Throughout this entire essay I have revealed a number of symbols, some of them treasured as concealing great spiritual mysteries in the Hermetic traditions of Western occultism, which all seem to be related to the ideas of raping children, consuming human flesh, and using the bodies of victims both dead and alive to breed supernatural entities: golems, homunculi, and many other things. As I mentioned in my article Killing God to Become God, the souls that are incarnated in these rites are ensnared by the magicians performing them, seduced into coming into our world and then trapped inside of a carnal container of some sort. Symbols for this ensnarement have included butterfly nets and spider webs, with the soul symbolized as a butterfly that gets caught.

The paragraph above quoted from Kathleen Raine indicates that the pleasure of copulation is what attracts the souls that incarnate in human and animal bodies. This goes along with what you find in The Tibetan Book of the Dead, written to instruct a deceased soul trying to find release from the cycle of incarnation. It warns that the soul will feel the need to “find a body,” and will come across couples having sex, but must resist the natural attraction to join with them, because this will lead to another incarnation.

It stands to reason then that if one is trying to ensnare the soul of a divine intelligence, one needs to use extraordinary enticements. The quote above from Thomas Taylor’s Porphyry refers to the Roman myth, based upon the Greek, that Saturn/Chronos was usurped by his son Zeus/Jupiter when the latter, posing as his “cupbearer,” gave him poison to drink. Taylor calls it “honey,” and implies that by offering it, Jupiter seduced Saturn down from his lofty throne as king of the gods, made him drunk with it, and then bound him.

[As an interesting aside, note that the slogan for the Canadian town of Tisdale was, until recently, “The Land of Rape and Honey” (referring to rapeseed), and this is what inspired an album of the same name by the industrial music group Ministry.]

In other versions of the myth, there is a lengthy war between their two factions before Saturn is subdued and imprisoned. But the “poisoned cup” incident is the beginning of the war. When he consumed the poison, Saturn vomited out the children he had eaten, all of Jupiter’s siblings, who then joined him on the battlefield against his cannibal father. But as I have pointed out in previous articles, the term “cupbearer” was a term for a royal child sex slave. Jupiter had a penchant for boys, and it is likely his father did as well. This is a story of using the offer of sodomy with a young boy to entice the Most High God down from his throne, so that he can be imprisoned, and his position taken over.

I think that the use of the symbols I have mentioned, in the contexts which I have described, indicates that there is still an occult tradition in certain circles regarding this. There are people who think that this is the way to dethrone God. They think that the gods above are as sick as they are, and therefore they will be attracted most not by mere heterosexual encounters, but by the abnormal and perverse. As the Templar artifacts of Hammer-Purgstall’s Mysterium Baphometis Revelatum illustrate, this is why the Templars ritualized the sodomy and sacrifice of young boys. On several of the artifacts, he found a phrase encoded on them: “The Distinguished Charity of Mete Uproots the Enemy.”

The one called “Mete” is the Templars’ secret wisdom god, Baphomet. The “Distinguished Charity” could also be phrased “Peculiar–or Strange–Love.” This “Strange Love” or “Mad Love” is signified by many other things in Western occultism, roses, honey, and now, via Marilyn Manson’s use of pedophile symbolism, a spiral heart can be added to the list. The “Enemy” that it uproots is none other than the Demiurge of the Ophite Gnostics: the god and creator of this world. The idea is that ultimately you must not only fuck, but also kill and eat, the things you love in order to become one with them, as even God (they believe) does this to his own children.

As I explained in previous articles, such as thisthisthis, and this, I believe these things are all part of a process of trying to upset the balance of the “pillars” that uphold our current state of existence, allowing them to collapse so that the universe we live in might be destroyed. When the innocent body of a human child, the image of God, is defiled in rites such as this, it creates a reflexive reaction that affects the magnetic polarity of the Earth and upsets the tectonic plates beneath us.

It is hard for even the good people of this Earth to stop this process when we are all, to a greater or lesser degree, being seduced by the same type of perversions. Even if we have never done the worst of these things, we have participated gleefully in a culture that celebrates it. Perhaps this was the year that the Pope asked us to pray for God’s mercy because this was the year in which the fullness of our sins was revealed to us. I wonder if there are enough righteous people among us to earn God’s mercy, or if we shall all inevitably perish in the wages of our own sins.
