=========> Very true. As a matter of factly,

Only when a person knows the hidden knowledge (gnosis) of the symbols, can
they understand the depths of the secrets of the mysteries and thereby claim
special privilege with Lucifer, the light bearer of darkness. Today, the
Illuminati, Rosicrucians, and Masons practice this art masterfully. This
system of making darkness into light is found in all secret orders. Jesus
identified this mystery religion that cloaks darkness as religious light in
Matthew 6:23, when He said, "... If therefore the light that is in thee be
darkness, how great is that darkness!".
The Pharisees (known as 'Kenites' or 'Sons of Cain' - 1 Chronicles 2:55)
by Jesus' time had stolen the seat of Moses, and to this day, are not
bashful or ashamed of their great mystical religious beliefs contained in
the Babylonian Kabbalah. They even boast that the --> TAROT <-- and
witchcraft along with magic are not evil. What is now called "orthodox
Judaism" is fully a Kabbalah religion that has incorporated magic within it.
Their own books boast of these mystical connections (See the Kabbalah by
Charles Ponce; Kabbalah by Gershom Scholem; and Messianic Idea In Judaism by
Gershom Scholem). These alleged orthodox worshippers are of pure Babylon
descent. In order for the reader to understand this depths of Satan and the
mystery of iniquity, he or she will have to study the Kabbalah and the
Talmud on his or her own to see their inherent and congenital ties to black
witchcraft and Mystery Babylon. In fact, no witch of any repute can achieve
the high-priesthood of any cult without a through knowledge and practice of
Kabbalah.

and

> LaViolette goes on to say that Alliette, a French Hermeticist, claiming to

> legendary Book of Thoth that conveyed the ancient science of Thoth. Then
