CHAPTER I. The Divine Moloch.
CHAPTER I. The Divine Moloch.
The genial gentleman with horns, shown on the cover hereof, is christ. [1] The hybrid Christian-Egyptian religion was stolen from the sun-worship of Egypt and India and other religious impositions. When the sun, called Ra and Osiris in Egypt, identical with Jehovah, at the end of each cycle of about 2155 years, entered a new sign of the zodiac, it was said to be reborn, or the son of god came in a character to correspond with the astronomical sign.—Gerald Massey. 1 .

CHAPTER II. The Queen of Heaven.
CHAPTER II. The Queen of Heaven.
The Hebrews in the wilderness indulged in this pagan idolatry and sacrificed bullocks and lambs on the altar for the remission of their sins, and erected a golden calf. The golden calf was christ, and his mother was the sacred cow Hathor or Mary. This Meri or Mary was an astral goddess, the moon goddess, the Queen of Heaven, represented as standing in the crescent moon. She is identical with the foul goddesses Astarte, Venus, Ishtar, Asherah and Ashtoreth, the abomination of the Sidonians. Ishta

CHAPTER III. Religious Symbolism.
This is the Egyptian Tau Cross, the symbol of Apis, the bull, and other male gods: 𝝩 . Here is the male emblem shown as the Masonic square, as found in the ruins of Gaza: 𝝘 . This is the Egyptian K. Ka is the Egyptian name of the male emblem. See “Hieroglyphics”, Ency. Brit. This holy god, in the form of a stone, is stuck in the wall of the Kaaba, the shrine at Mecca, which shrine was built by Abraham, who was fond of chasing after gods with tarnished reputations. This god in Mecca is a meteorit

CHAPTER IV. The Sabbatic Goat or God of the Sabbath.
When the sun entered the sign of Capricorn, it was reborn as, or christ came as the goat, that individual on whom the Jews used to load all their sins and then drive him forth into the wilderness. They sacrificed goats on the altar because the goat was one of the ancient redeemers. Caesar says of Egyptian sacrifices: “Imprecations were uttered over the head of the expiatory victim, around whose horns a piece of byblus was rolled. The animal was generally led to some barren region sacred to Typho

CHAPTER V. The Great God Baal.
CHAPTER V. The Great God Baal.
The palm tree, the candle and the Asherim are symbols and images of Baal, and the two last are offered up as sacrifices, corresponding to the pillars and candles in the worship of Jehovah. Around the temple of Jehovah as well as the temple of Baal, in the Holy Land, were the ancient nunneries. The Kadishim or Holy Ladies lived in tents arranged in a circle about the temple, and on each side of each tent or Fornix stood a Knight of Kadish. The pious people who desired to worship god gave up to th

CHAPTER VI. Jehovah, alias Adonai.
CHAPTER VI. Jehovah, alias Adonai.
According to the Hebrew lexicon יה (Yh or Ih) is one of the names of God. Y, I and J. are interchangeable, and Jehovah is identical with the god Yah of the Philistines and Iach or Iachus or Bacchus and Iao or Io and Jove. Bel of the Babylonians is the Chaldaic form of Baal, and according to Herodotus is identical with Zeus, who is the same as Deus or Jehovah. Ja or Jagannatha, the idol of the Hindus, is said to smile when a human blood sacrifice is thrown before his car. Jehovah Binah seemed to

CHAPTER VII. The Host, a Human Sacrifice.
The Monstrance was a conventionalized Assyrian Grove, containing the Host, the male and female emblems, and corresponded with the Ark and was transparent, so that the devotees could look on the blessed symbols and live forever. It was called the Monstrance because it contained the hermaphrodite monster, now or formerly worshipped by the devotees of all religions. The directions of St. Cyril, of Jerusalem, were: “After kissing all the brothers and sisters, you touch the consecrated things to the

CHAPTER VIII. Jesus Christ.
If the clergymen tell you that there is only one christ, politely present them with the seal of Belial. Each of the principal religions had twelve christs. Christ was never crucified, but the human race was crucified by religion from its very inception, and the Christian world wallowed in the Egyptian darkness of ignorance and superstition till in the middle ages, the golden age, no king in Europe could read and write. Christ is the same as Agni, the sun god of the Aryans, who was called the Son

CHAPTER IX Hell-fire and Brimstone.
We are in Hell now. Rabbi Eleasher says that “the demons who were cast out of Heaven and the descendants of the witless progeny of matter and spirit became in the course of time the men of our planet, after having passed through every form of every one of the elements.” Where did the Church dig up Hell? The Scandinavian Hell is not a place of punishment, but simply the abode of the dead. The dictionary says that Hades, the Hell of the Bible, is the abode of all the departed, the unseen spirit wo

Christ overcame the Great Serpent, the Devil, and the Irish Bacchus, St. Patrick, drove all the snakes out of Ireland. The drunken Bacchus, whose Saturnalia was held on the 17th of March, when they poured out libations to him, was canonized and is now St. Bacchus, and his coffin and relics, endowed with magical and miraculous powers, were exhibited at Rome according to Isis Unveiled, 1:160. Deus was Dyaus of the old Aryan or earlier Persian religion. Dyaus means to shine, and was a name of the s

CHAPTER XI Life Cells.
I Am the I Am, the Hebrew God, is supposed by Christians to be the First Cause, but the assumption of a first cause is quite unnecessary, and further, if you postulate a creative god, some impertinent person might ask you who made God. It is just as well to start with matter, in which mind and energy are inherent, which is eternal, infinite, immortal, self-existent and sustaining, requiring no supreme power as a basis or background, as set forth in the Sankhya System of the Hindus.

CHAPTER XII. Magic and Devil Worship.
Elephas Levi claimed that the attraction and repulsion of the atoms is caused by the astral light. “There exists an agent which is material and spiritual, a universal plastic medium, a common receptacle of the vibrations of motions and the images of forms, a fluid and a force. By means of this force all nervous apparatuses secretly communicate with each other, thence come sympathy and antipathy, thence dreams and second sight. The existence and use of this force is the great secret of practical

CHAPTER XIII. Ghosts and Hobgoblins.
The Hindus of the Malibar coast said they had ghosts, but they knew them to be bad spirits, for good ones can hardly ever appear at all. Apuleius says the human soul is a demon or genius, an immortal god. According to Philo Judaeus, the air is filled with an invisible host of spirits, the bad ones are mortal, and the good ones are immortal. The soul, upon the death of the body, transforms into a lemure (phantom). If it is wicked, it is called a larvae. The ghosts who, through vice, fearful crime

“Burn everybody,” the Inquisition seemed to say, “God can easily sort out his own.” Poor fools, hysterical women and idiots were roasted alive for the crime of magic. Catherine de Medicis, the author of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, had in her service an apostate Jacobin priest who was proficient in the black art. King Charles lay dangerously ill, and Catherine, the queen mother, had everything to lose by the death of the King. In her anxiety she commanded the priest to inquire of the Devil w

King Solomon’s Signal of Distress.
One day King Solomon, being bored about to death, and finding that all was vanity and vexation of spirit, wrote to his friend Manus, high priest of Baal, something as follows: To His Eminence the High Priest of Baal, beloved of the Lord and the Devil, Grand High Potentate of the Knights of Kadish, Beloved Minister of the Holy of Holies, the sacred Grove of Asherah.

Opening a Lodge of Entered Apprentices.
Sen. War.: “Brother, the lambskin in all ages has been considered an emblem of purity.” This lambskin is the skin of the Lamb of God. It is worn on the stomach for occult reasons. The female emblem, the Eye, is stamped upon it for the same occult reasons. The mystic societies, sun-worshippers and Jews were anciently devotees of the lamb as well as the cow. They sacrificed him and adorned themselves with his skin as a saving rite. The Ram is identical with the god Priapus. You remember that Saul

If you do not believe that all the beasts of the zodiac bear rule in Heaven, read Revelations with your eyes open. The Ram is the Grand Vizier. The Bull is also there, with eyes before and behind, and the Lion and the Man, the Waterman, in fact the four beasts of the four cardinal points of the zodiac. Ch. 1, v 7, says: “Behold he cometh with clouds.” It is evident from Revelations that Christ is one of the seven Buddhas who came at the end of each cycle, and the seven were one, and that one was

CHAPTER XVIII. The Clergy.
The Presbyterian clergy or sorcerers of Scotland, of old times, claimed that they could consign their deluded victims to Heaven or Hell by a word, and could by their magic power strike with death any enemy of God, that is, the clergy. They would not allow anyone to remain in town who failed to go and hear their sermons. Buckle says the clergy kept the people in a worse than Egyptian bondage, inasmuch as they enslaved mind as well as body. “John Knox sanctioned the murder of the Roman Archbishop

As the Old Testament was originally written without vowels, the Lord only knows what it meant. The best the copyists could do was to make a good guess at the meaning, or supply whatever vowels suited their purposes.—See Ency. Brit. 3-64. Moses was a magician, a thief and a murderer according to the Bible, a fakir who foisted upon the Hebrews a magnificent system of priestly plunder. In pursuance of Moses pretence that the world was created in six days, and that their god El or Bel or Baal rested

There are forty nine heavens to which we ordinary mortals may attain, so you needn’t worry. Besides, there are certain aristocratic heavens reserved for the great and good men of high spirituality, such as Moses, the fakir, thief and murderer, and David, the bandit, outlaw and assassin, and Solomon, the fratricide, Mormon and pillar of Ashtoreth, and all the popes, bishops, priests and ministers.

THE DEVIL’S HALF ACRE.By Willard Bartlett.From the Beacon.
In rummaging through the attic of an old wraith-haunted, country house, I discovered a course of lessons in Yogi Philosophy. These lessons I devoured with avidity, and practiced with assiduity the occult rites, until I could readily pass into the silence and project my astral body or ghost to any desired place. In fact the unruly ghost would sometimes quit the body without my consent and leave me stranded high and dry without any soul. One night while I lay sleeping, my astral body left the phys

THE BIOGRAPHY OF THE SOUL ATOM.By Willard Bartlett.From The Nautilus.
I will preface my story with the simple statement that I am now 500,000,000 years old, more or less, that the atom in which my soul is located, or which constitutes my soul, first found a home in what is called a living being, a cytod or cell, in the primordial or earliest epoch of earth’s history. A cell is a minute mass of living protoplasm, or jelly-like substance, not as large as the head of a pin, a combination of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, ammonia, sulphur, etc. While it is true t
