-Caveat Lector-
(I flew over the Bohemian Grove last week. Most of the cabins are obsured by
the forrest. The helicopter to the north at the top of a hill and looks like
an owl. The area is spooky. A spooky elite-connected former associate claims
to have been there. Another calls it a faggot-place because they have a play
where the men dress as women and there are only men there execept for a few
in the kitchen. Typical. --SW)
Bohemian Grove: Hell-Fire in a Forest
"The Bohemian Club was established in 1872 in San
Francisco as an exclusive club of political and
intellectual figures who wished to spend a certain
amount of time each year relaxing and interacting in a
non-business environment. They began camping on
the site of the present Bohemian Grove, located 3
miles east of Monte Rio and 1 mile from the end of the
Northwest Pacific Railroad Company, in 1891 but
didn't officially acquire the land until 1901. The grove
itself is a total of 2437 acres of uncut redwoods,
including some that are 2000-3000 years old. The land
is occupied by approximately 1500 men -- most of them
political and business dignitaries -- for two weeks
around Midsummer. The encampment is marked by
rituals, talks and entertainment meant to revolve
around the relaxation and friendship of the members,
rather than their political and economic alliances.
On the first Saturday of the camp, an elaborate ritual
called the Cremation of Care is held just after dinner. It
begins with the procession of a group of men, dressed
in red pointed hoods and red robes, some of whom
play a funeral dirge while others carry torches. These
men also carry a rough, open coffin containing a body
made of a black muslin-covered wooden skeleton.
According to Domhoff [G. William Domhoff, author of
The Bohemian Grove and Other Retreats], 'this is the
body of Care, symbolizing the concerns and woes that
important men supposedly must bear in their daily
lives. It is Dull Care which must be cremated.'
" 'Begone, dull care. Midsummer sets us free!' (chant
from the Bohemian Grove)" [1]
[Bohemian Grove, the virtual-reality version]
"Pike [Albert Pike, 'patron saint' of the Scottish Rite]
was known in his adopted state of Arkansas as a
practitioner of Satanism. His reported sexual
proclivities included sitting astride a phallic throne in
the woods, accompanied by a gang of prostitutes. He
would bring to his revels one or more wagon-loads of
liquor, most of which he would consume over a period
of perhaps 48 hours, until he passed into a stupor." [2]
"John DeCamp's book, The Franklin Cover-Up,
includes Paul Bonacci's testimony about a snuff film of
a child being murdered on July 26, 1984 in California
in 'an area that had big trees.' At a meeting in Santa
Rosa, DeCamp told a group that he had edited out
Bonacci's references to an enormous, moss-covered
owl and men in hooded red robes because he not
know then about the owl at the Grove and thought it
'too far fetched for people to believe.' In the fall of
1992, Paul Bonacci was shown a black and white
photo of the moss-covered owl at the Grove and
quickly identified it as the site of the July 1984 snuff
film described in DeCamp's book. Although this
testimony has been available to law enforcement
officials since mid-October 1992, no official
investigation has been made." [3]
------------
This isn't the typical Bohemian Grove expose which
claims that the large summer gathering consists
entirely of Establishment bigwigs, and that the
Cremation of Care ceremony is an occult ritual. My
position is that it's the equivalent of the outermost
circle of a high-level satanic cult, intended to sift
through those invited to attend, and draw the most
potentially useful toward the center of the cult.
One of the more prominent aspects of the gathering
seems to be to puff up the egotism of the newcomers.
The supposed exclusivity of the event is mentioned in
almost every account I've read. Besides being in itself
an appeal to luciferic tendencies (egotism/selfishness),
it also tends to make them feel as if they're part of the
Establishment, and thus transfer their loyalty away
from mankind in general to the Establishment. The
participation of high-profile lackeys and the speeches
by others are apparently part of this strategy. Based
on what I've seen about the speeches, they're just
another variety of disinformation.
The religious trappings of the Cremation of Care
ritual have several purposes, although their main
purpose seems to be to create the authorization for the
participants to abandon themselves to their lower
nature.
The rest of the two weeks is then a matter of
experimenting with various sensual delights, and
progressively discarding one's inhibitions against
debauchery and even depravity. The only women
allowed are prostitutes, which tends to debase their
attitude toward sex and undermine their marriages. It's
classic Hell-Fire Club strategy.
Who Goes There, Really?
The typical expose of the Bohemian group claims that
it consists entirely of high-rollers, but only a handful
out of the approximately 1500 attendees are ever
identified. In contrast, early sources indicate that it
was created by members of what would become the
media, for people with a potential to influence public
opinion:
FIRST EDITION. Signed and inscribed by artist
members of the California Bohemian Club to fellow
artist Peter Ilyin. This was the 39th play to be
presented in Sonoma County's Bohemian Grove by
members of the San Francisco-based club, which was
founded in 1872 as a male only, private society
"fostering good fellowship FOR JOURNALISTS AND
OTHER WRITERS." Gradually the group expanded to
include artistic "gentlemen" from all walks of life, who
began to perform al fresco plays in the redwood grove
estate purchased by the Club in then rural Sonoma
County. These Midsummer Encampments have seen
original plays performed nearly every year of this
century. [4]
So, there is conflicting information on the type of
person who attends. Because the Grove is isolated,
the participants can come and go without being seen
by many people. As far as we know, the reporters who
claim that the attendees are all bigwigs could have
been put up to it to hide the true nature of the
gathering. Note that Alex Jones, who has recently
been characterizing the Bohemian Grove event as
exclusive and occultic, has his own radio show and
spouts the standard populist rhetoric. If he were truly
anti-Establishment, he would not have his own radio
show.
Although actual Bohemian Club membership is
apparently exclusive, the members can invite guests to
the annual gathering. As I stated previously, this
indicates a process of drawing select outsiders into the
outermost circle of a cult, in order to determine
whether they would be suitable for the inner circles.
There might even be more guests than members at the
big gathering.
"Sacrificing Dull Care"
"The Cremation of Care ritual is over one hundred
years old and is always the first order of business
when these men of industry, government and military
[so they say] gather each July. At sundown on the first
Saturday of their encampment they enact a bizarre
short scripted play (it's always the same) in which they
burn an effigy of "Dull Care" at the bottom of a forty
foot stone owl. Their rationale is that they carry the
cares of the world around on their shoulders and they
need a symbolic ritual in order to put it down and enjoy
their holiday. Since 1980, activists in Sonoma County
have brought this to the attention of anyone who will
listen and we began a new tradition with a
Resurrection of Care event on the same day." [5]
The phrase "dull care" is derived from an old ditty
entitled Begone Dull Care:
Begone Dull Care (Traditional)
Begone, dull care!
I prithee begone from me;
Begone, dull care!
Thou and I can never agree.
Long while thou hast been tarrying here,
And fain thou wouldst me kill;
But i' [in] faith, dull care,
Thou never shalt have thy will.
Too much care
Will make a young man grey;
Too much care
Will turn an old man to clay.
My wife shall dance, and I shall sing,
So merrily pass the day;
For I hold it is the wisest thing,
To drive dull care away.
Hence, dull care,
I'll none of thy company;
Hence, dull care,
Thou art no pair for me.
We'll hunt the wild boar through the wold,
So merrily pass the day;
And then at night, o'er a cheerful bowl,
We'll drive dull care away.[5a]
In the same general time-frame, which corresponds to
what Steiner called the Fall of the Spirits of Darkness
(the beginning of an epic luciferic/satanic
disinformation campaign), strange groups were forming
in England as well:
"Tennyson was a founding member of the
Metaphysical Society, with Bulwer-Lytton's protege
John Ruskin, Lord John Russell's uncle Lord Arthur
Russell, future prime minister Arthur Balfour, and
Thomas Huxley. In 1880, the Metaphysical Society
was reorganized, and became the Aristotelian Society.
Lord John Russell's grandson Bertrand Russell
became the Aristotelian Society's president....
Tennyson's unambiguous endorsement of opium
abuse was expressed in his well-known poem, 'The
Lotus Eaters':
Let us swear an oath, and keep it with
an equal mind.
In the hollow Lotus-land to live
and lie reclined,
On the hills like Gods together,
careless of mankind." [6]
Molech Revealed
The Great Owl of the Bohemian Grove is typically
identified as Moloch, the chief god of the Ammorites
who lived in Ammon, an eastern section of Canaan.
This form of worship spread to a few other cities in the
region, including Tyre and Carthage, where, for
example during a siege of the city in 307 B.C., two
hundred boys of the best families were burned to
death in sacrifice to Moloch. Some sources claim that
"passing through the fire" meant being quickly passed
through flames, which would not harm the child, as a
means of dedicating the child to the god. However,
there is archeological evidence of actual child sacrifice
in areas corresponding to Moloch-worship. [7] This
location, known as Gehenna, among other names,
became the basis for the popular notion of Hell, which
actually doesn't exist, although a person who commits
evil deeds on Earth will suffer in the afterlife because
of them, and in future lives on Earth. This is not
intended as retribution, but as an evolutionary lesson,
as well as compensation.
My research into the nature of this idol indicates that
it resembled a seated human with a bull's head, with its
arms extended forward. Sitchin indicates that the
significance of the bull is that it represents the
astrological sign of Taurus, and the "New World Order"
which was established at the beginning of the last age
of Taurus in about 2000 B.C. Specifically, at that time,
Marduk was appointed as "Bel," which means "great
god" - i.e. leader of the pantheon of Anunnaki
"ET-gods." Previously, according to Sitchin, Enlil was
"the Bel," as in "Brotherhood of the Bell."
When Marduk became Bel, there was a trend toward
monotheism, and all of the gods in the pantheon
became aspects of Marduk. Thus, the term
Bel-Moloch referred to Moloch, but as an aspect of
Marduk. I assume this was intended to reflect the
spiritual hierarchy, the beings of which are aspects of
God.
The pattern of evidence indicates that the mode of
worship adopted for this god was based on his
association with fire and the Sun:
"Worshiped as a sun god, Moloch embodied the
savage and devastating aspects of the sun's heat." [8]
I was having difficulty in determining whether there
was a real god underlying the worship of Moloch until I
ran across a reference to a passage in Blavatsky's
Secret Doctrine, which as I have stated elsewhere, has
been generally heavily influenced by occult orders with
a selfish agenda. Still, the pieces fell into place when I
looked up this passage:
During that period which is absent from the Mosaic
books -- from the exile of Eden to the allegorical Flood
-- the Jews worshipped with the rest of the Semites
Dayanisi [Dionysus] "the Ruler of Men," the "Judge," or
the SUN. Though the Jewish canon and Christianism
have made the sun become the "Lord God" and
Jehovah in the Bible, yet the latter is full of indiscreet
traces of the androgyne [androgynous] Deity, which
was Jehovah the sun, and Astoreth the moon in its
female aspect, and quite free from the present
metaphorical element given to it. God is a "consuming
fire," appears in, and is encompassed by fire." It was
not only in vision that Ezekiel (viii., 16) saw the Jews
"worshipping the sun." The Baal of the Israelites (the
Shemesh of the Moabites and the Moloch of the
Ammonites) was the identical "Sun-Jehovah," and he is
till now "the King of the Host of Heaven," the Sun....[9]
The key was "Baal of the Israelites (the Shemesh of
the Moabites and the Moloch of the Ammonites) was
the identical 'Sun-Jehovah,' and he is till now 'the King
of the Host of Heaven,' the Sun...."
A passage beginning on page 117 of the
world-shaking 12th Planet by Zecharia Sitchin
provided the clues I required to solve the mystery.
There, he mentions that one of the Anunnaki, named
Utu/Shamash, was known by several epithets
associated with bright light and the Sun. One example
is "Utu ... [the one who] lights up Heaven and Earth."
But the clincher was that "Shamash ... in Semitic
languages, means Sun."
Sitchin also discovered that Shamash was in charge
of all space-related activities, including a spaceport in
the Sinai. This would explain the references to him
lighting up the heavens and Earth, a description with
which anyone who has witnessed a night-time space
shuttle launch would agree. Sitchin also discovered
that the spaceport was nuked in about 2000 B.C.,
leaving nothing but a vast scorched area which can be
seen from space.
The connection between Jehovah and Shamash
appears to be that Shamash was working with
Jehovah, a God of Form connected with the Moon.
(Some of the Anunakki, such as Ea/Enki, had to have
been initiates.) The famous Code of Hammurabi was
given to him by Shamash, and the Biblical account of
Moses obtaining the Ten Commandments indicates
that they were delivered to him by Shamash or some of
his underlings. Perhaps they were delivered by
rocket-ship to impress their importance upon the
Israelites.
Shamash's connection to rockets would also explain
his connection to fire, and references to him as a
"consuming fire," of as appearing in, or being
encompassed by fire. The association between fire
and "ascending to the god" might have been the
argument used for incinerating children by the priestly
progenitors of "free trade economists."
Although it appears that Shamash's association with
the fire and the Sun were the inspirations for the way
Moloch was worshipped, I assume that he was still
considered to be an aspect of Bel, and that the
sacrifices were intended for Bel.
Early Child Sacrifice: Evil or Just Plain Stupid?
It is obvious from Ezekiel that Shamash, or his
underlings which interfaced with Ezekiel, acting as
Jehovah's emissaries, strongly discouraged the
veneration of pagan idols, including those which
represented themselves, and especially through such
means as the atrocious Molochian rites. So, the
sacrifice of children was probably the invention of a
priesthood which was at the very least grossly
misguided, and at worst demonically possessed (a
phenomenon which as reported in the Bible did occur
in ancient times).
Obviously, the parents would rather not have burned
their children to death as a means of "improving
society," but were convinced by the priesthood that it
was necessary. Today, a similar priesthood continues
to recommend ever-greater degrees of "free trade"
despite the accumulating evidence that it is
DESTROYING society, and parents everywhere
mindlessly accede to sacrificing their children to the
market-Molech, largely on the "authority" of its wicked
priests Adam Smith and Friedrich von Hayek, both of
whom had very close ties to the feudal oligarchy.
I will not presume to know the ulterior motive of the
Molochian priests which Daemonalatria [8] describes
as dancing around an altar in a frenzy, as if
possessed, during sacrifices to Moloch. Perhaps they
truly regarded it as the best possible means of
obtaining blessings from their god for their society.
However, I suspect that the rites, which included the
beating of drums were at least partly a
Dionysian/Bacchic means of attempting to stimulate
the atavistic clairvoyant mode of consciousness which
was fading at that time, in order to regress, as Lucifer
would have us do, to what Steiner called our "cosmic
childhood." As the intermediaries between the god
and the masses, the priesthood would be interested in
reviving this atavistic clairvoyance as a source of
authority, and their dances around the idol seem to
reflect the ancient awareness of the Sun as the home
of the highest gods, and the planets as the realms of
the lower gods.
The Luciferic antics conducted in Ascona,
Switzerland, which also include wild dances, are
echoes of this Luciferic drive to regress
consciousness. (See The Lucis Trust by Scott
Thompson.) Note that LSD, which Ascona acolyte
Allen Dulles pushed on America in enormous
quantities, is a favorite means of the Aquarian
Conspiracy for SIMulating this atavistic clairvoyance,
which they call "visitation of the gods." But their
actual, hideous goal is to facilitate Lucifer's theft of our
free will by stimulating visionary clairvoyance:
"[M]an is perpetually exposed to the danger of having
his free will wrested from him and dragged by Lucifer
and Ahriman into the Eighth Sphere [the spiritual plane
where they are trying to make their own kingdom].
This happens if the element of free will is
transformed, for example, into visionary clairvoyance
[hallucinations]. When this is the case, a man is
already in the Eighth Sphere. This is a matter of which
occultists are reluctant to speak, because it is an
awful, terrible truth." [10]
Luciferians John Ruskin and his Pre-Raphaelite
Society, Emerson, and William James (with his "Variety
of Religious Experiences" and nitrous oxide) are
examples of people working to regress consciousness
in more recent times.
The Grove's Babylonian/Druidic Connection
There is no shortage of evidence that the rituals
conducted at Bohemian Grove (the worst of which
probably occur during the off-season, when the outer
circle is gone) are derived from the rituals of ancient
Babylon, Canaan, Phoenicia, and Carthage. Alex
Jones (infowars.com) videotaped the Cremation of
Care ritual, and his website contains transcripts, which
include specific references to Babylon and "Goodly
Tyre."
In fact, the Grove in and of itself is an indication of a
Druid heritage. Although information on Druidism is
sketchy because of the eradication of the Sun
Mysteries from civilization beginning in the fourth
century A.D., there are some sources which trace them
back to Phoenicia and the Babylonian pantheon. The
following source indicated that it was "handed down,"
implying by means of oral tradition.
"Political and religious suppression forced the Druids
to go underground. Many thought that the religion had
disappeared, but it survived, handed down within
families and villages to resurface again in the early
eighteenth century." [11]
Here's yet another indication of a connection between
Bohemian Grove and Druidism:
"For decades, there have been vague rumors of weird
goings on in Bohemian Grove in more remote parts of
its 2200 acres. Reliable reports claim Druidic like
rituals, druids in red hooded robes marching in
procession and chanting to the Great Owl (Moloch.)"
[11a]
Alex Jones of infowars.com, who videotaped the
proceedings, has proven that such vestments are
worn, and the transcripts of the ritual prayers indicate
a Druid-like veneration of trees. But the Owl is not
Moloch.
This should suffice as evidence that the rituals
performed at the Bohemian Grove are ultimately
derived from Babylon and its offspring - Canaan,
Phoenicia, and Carthage, and as a clue to the identity
of the Great Owl.
Giant Owls and Transvestites?
Although I have ruled out the Great Owl as a statue of
Moloch, the evidence of a connection between the
Bohemian Grove and Babylon is a clue to its true
identity. In addition, one of the prayers used during a
ritual at the Grove provides another key piece of
evidence:
"O thou, great symbol of all mortal wisdom, Owl of
Bohemia, we do beseech thee, grant us thy counsel,"
[12]
However, according to the video recording which Alex
Jones of infowars.com made of the ceremony, this
sentence begins as "O Owl, Prince of." Wherther
there is some variation in the actual words used, or
whether the first souce quoted above is in error, the
main difference in meaning is that the first is
gender-neutral, whereas the second reflects a male
deity and thus provides a further clue to the identitiy of
the owl.
A simple web-search using the terms "owl" and
"symbol" turned up many references to owl as a
symbol of Athena, a.k.a. Ishtar, a prominent member of
the Babylonian and related pantheons, known among
other things as the goddess of wisdom. (Although the
owl is referred to above as a male deity, it's useful to
understand its connection to Ishtar as well, as a means
of demonstrating the multiple allegiances of the Cult of
Isis.) For example,
"Considered the mascot of Athens, the owl was even
named for the goddess Athena, Goddess of Wisdom -
scientific name: Athene noctua.
These birds were abundant in ancient Greece.
Athenian coins bore the likeness of Athena on one side
and an owl on the other. Indeed, these coins were
called "owls." King Arthur's Merlin was always depicted
with an owl on his shoulder. The owl is the unrivaled
symbol of intelligence." [13]
An additional indication that the owl represents Ishtar
is the reported cross-dressing at the Grove. Since this
allegation is so bizarre, I wanted some corroboration.
It didn't take me long to realize that the webpage
quotation near the top of this page provides this
corroboration, by linking the Bohemian Club to the
network exposed by The Franklin Cover-Up. This
network includes The Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, a group
of high-rollers who practically run the state of
Nebraska. The Franklin Cover-Up, at the bottom of
page 132 (2nd ed.) states that "Past Ak-Sar-Ben
festivity themes included: ... 'Hi-Jinx in Hades.' ["High
Jinx" is also part of a name of an activity at the
Bohemian Grove.] Sometimes the men and boys of
Ak-Sar-Ben PARADED IN WOMEN'S CLOTHING, OR
DRESSED AS EGYPTIAN GODDESSES." [emphasis
added] (Note that Ak-Sar-Ben is "Nebraska"
backwards; The Ultimate Evil indicates that creating
words by spelling real words backward is a common
practice of satanic cults.)
Even better, there is photographic evidence of
DeCamp's statement. In the illustration-section which
follows page 128 of his book, there is a photograph
captioned in part as follows: "1923 Ak-Sar-Ben
festivity, showing male Ak-Sar-Ben members dressed
up as EGYPTIAN DANCING GIRLS." [emphasis
added]
The following announcement puts this weird activity
into perspective:
----------------------
Gender ambiguity in the ancient Mediterranean world
where the goddess Ishtar was honored by a cult
festival characterized by cross-dressing will be the
subject of an upcoming lecture.
Anne Draffkorn Kilmer's lecture and slide presentation
on "Gender Ambiguity in the Cult of the Goddess
Inanna/Ishtar" will begin at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, March
25, in the Kyle Morrow Room of Fondren Library.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is
sponsored by the Center for the Study of Cultures, the
Workshop in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations and
the Religious Studies Department of Rice University.
Kilmer, a professor of Assyriology and ancient Near
Eastern languages and literature at the University of
California-Berkeley, will discuss the ancient
Mesopotamian pantheon and the role of the goddess
Inanna/Ishtar, said Scott Noegel, a Rice visiting
assistant professor of religious studies.
The topic of the lecture speaks to concerns of women
and gender studies, Noegel said. Since the divinity is
ambiguous in terms of portrayal, this might be of
interest in gay and lesbian studies.
During at least one religious festival dedicated to Ishtar
the participants would cross dress. Kilmer's lecture
also speaks in general to what happened to female
deities, such as Ishtar, who was the most important
female deity in the Middle East before the rise of
monotheistic religions. [14]
-----------------------------
The implications should be obvious by now: the
Ak-Sar-Ben club and the Bohemian Grove are
contemporary manifestations of the ancient Cult of Isis!
Light, Outer and Inner
Recall the following supplication before the Great Owl:
"Oh Owl, Prince of ALL MORTAL WISDOM, Owl of
Bohemia, we do beseech thee, grant us thy counsel."
I have placed a stress on "all mortal wisdom," in order
to bring attention to the fact that Ishtar, the "Lady of the
MEs" (data banks), might have been able to provide
information to mankind, but that without the capacity to
understand, mankind would not be able to absorb it.
So, there is an inner, God-given aspect to wisdom,
which is one meaning of owl symbology.
The Genesis account of Lucifer tempting Adam and
Eve with knowledge is a hint of how "our eyes were
opened," in two senses of the phrase: God used
Lucifer to give us our intelligence, and it is only
because of Lucifer's influence that light became visible.
The following quotations from Steiner's works provide
some detail on these processes, starting with outer
light.
----------------
Whenever we direct our occult vision to a fixed star,
we first of all encounter the normal Spirits of Wisdom.
The whole heavens would be invisible to physical sight
and only visible to clairvoyant consciousness if none
but these normal Spirits of Wisdom were active; but
everywhere Luciferic spirits are mingled with the
normal Spirits of Wisdom, and bring physical light of its
own into the world of the fixed star. When at night the
starry heaven is illuminated, Phosphorus actually
works down upon us from countless points ["a
thousand points of light"]: and everywhere in the
universe we find the possibility of formation only
through the cooperation of the opposing forces;
through the combined working of the normal spirits of
the hierarchies with those who are rebels that is,
those who have remained behind. Unillumined to
physical eyes but visible to spiritual sight, is the starry
world through the normal Spirits of Wisdom; it became
luminous to physical eyes, it is revealed in Maya [the
illusion we consider to be the real world] through
Lucifer or the Luciferic spirits who are, and must be,
active everywhere. [15]
Now, on to the somewhat more complex subject of
"inner light":
The superhuman entities previously mentioned, the
leaders in the field of love ["moon gods"], had already
been so perfect on the preceding planet that they did
not have to [incarnate].
[A]t the beginning of the formation of the earth, [the
luciferic beings] were further advanced than men, but
still were at the stage where knowledge must be
acquired through inner organs. These beings were in a
special position. They were too far advanced to pass
through the physical human body [i.e. they could not
incarnate], male or female, but on the other hand, were
not [sufficiently advanced to] act through full
clairvoyance like the leaders of love. They could not
yet be beings of love, [but] they could no longer be
"men." Thus they could only continue their own
development as half superhuman beings, in which they
were aided by men. They could speak to creatures
with a brain in a language which the latter could
understand. [Translation might be a good analogy, as
implied below.] Thereby the human soul energy which
was turned inward was stimulated, and could connect
itself with knowledge and wisdom [like a translator
connects people who speak different languages]. It
was thus that wisdom of a human kind first appeared
on earth.
The "half superhuman beings" mentioned above
could use this human wisdom in order to achieve for
themselves that of perfection which they still lacked. In
this manner THEY BECAME THE STIMULATORS OF
HUMAN WISDOM. One therefore calls them bringers
of light (Lucifer).
[T]he creation of the understanding is related to the
activity of the sun. The dawn of the understanding in
human nature is the lighting up of an inner sun. This is
said not only in a metaphorical, but also in a quite real
sense. When the epoch of the fire mist had ebbed from
the earth, these spirits found within man an opportunity
to resume their activity connected with the sun.
It now becomes clear whence the name Lucifer, that
is, "the bearer of light," originates, and why these
beings are designated as "sun gods" in mystery
science. [16]
One must be quite clear about the fact that only later
did man assume the dense substantiality which he has
today, and that he did this very gradually. If one wants
to form an idea of his corporeality on the level of
development which is being discussed, one can best
do this by imagining it as similar to water vapor or to a
cloud suspended in the air. But of course this idea
approaches reality in a completely external way. For
the fire cloud "man" is internally alive and organized. In
comparison to what man became later, however, one
must imagine him at this stage as in a state of soul
slumber, and as only very dimly conscious. Everything
which can be called intelligence, understanding,
reason is lacking in this being.
[Eons pass between the preceding and the following]
[Luciferic] beings now acquire power over this upper
half ["head"]. In earlier stages of their development,
these beings advanced further than men, but not as far
as the moon gods. They could not exercise their power
in the fire mist [as could the moon gods]. But now that
something they themselves had lacked previously [the
capacity to understand] has been formed in the human
organs of understanding through [the influence of the
higher beings on] the fire mist, their time has come.
At an earlier time [before the fire mist came into
being], the moon gods had attained an understanding
capable of acting externally [on, for example, the fire
mist].... They could act externally on the things of
earth. [But] the lower beings we have just mentioned
had not attained such an understanding which acts
outwardly. Therefore, the time of the fire mist found
them unprepared [to influence it].
Now, however, [a capability to understand] is present.
It exists in men. These beings seize upon this human
understanding in order to act on the things of earth by
means of it. [Elsewhere, Steiner indicates that our
urge to create is a luciferic tendency, whereas the urge
to destroy is satanic.]
Thus man comes under a double leadership [Love
and Wisdom]. In his lower part he is under the power
of the moon gods; in his developed personality,
however, he comes under the leadership of those
entities which are summed up under the name
"Lucifer," the name of their regent.
The Luciferic gods thus complete their own
development by making use of the awakened human
powers of understanding.... At the same time they give
man the predisposition to freedom, to the
discrimination between "good" and "evil."
While it is true that the human organ of understanding
has been formed entirely under the leadership of the
moon gods, these gods would have left it to slumber;
they were not interested in making use of it [because]
they possessed their own powers of understanding. In
their own interest, the Luciferic beings were concerned
with developing the human understanding and
directing it toward the things of earth [which opened us
up to Ahriman's/Satan's influence]. Thereby for men
THEY BECAME THE TEACHERS OF ALL THAT CAN
BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE HUMAN
UNDERSTANDING. But they could not be anything
more than stimulators.... With their guidance man had
to learn to find the laws of his being. Under Lucifer's
leadership he himself had to become as "one of the
gods." [17]
We are able to understand each other as easily as we
do only because the Luciferic powers gave us this
common intelligence. Intelligence - this Luciferic
spirituality - came into being because Michael [acting
on behalf of God] imbued humanity with Luciferic
influences.... [L]uciferic spirituality, which we think of
as our intelligence, is widely consdered today as the
most distinctive characteristic." [18]
The following quotations are from Evil, a collection of
lectures by Steiner [available through various on-line
bookstores]:
----------
"Ever since the Lemurian epoch ... [luciferic] forces
made our inner life the focal point of their attack, by
infiltrating our desires, impulses, and passions. There
were two consequences of this: we were able to
become free ... [from] the sway of divine, spiritual
beings.... But ... we also had to accept our potential
for evil arising through our passions, emotions and
desires." p 100
Lucifer's influence was primarily one towards freedom,
enabling [mankind] to overcome a passive submission
to random external powers, allowing them ... a capacity
for acting independently. p 103
But ... [Lucifer's] influence ... dragged them down ...
[and] made their desires and actions, their whole being
in fact of a lower nature than it would have been
[otherwise]." p103
"How, then, does the luciferic influence act? It
penetrates into the astral body and is thus able to work
upon all three 'bodies' of the human being - astral,
etheric and physical.... In the etheric it brings about
IMPULSES OF FALSEHOOD AND LYING." P103,
emphasis added
"[T]hrough Lucifer there arises selfishness [egotism] in
the astral body, lying and FALSEHOOD in the etheric
body, and SICKNESS AND DEATH in the physical
body." p 104
"The ahrimanic influence is therefore a result of the
luciferic: Lucifer takes possession of [i.e. penetrates
and influences] us from within, and we are as a result
susceptible to attack from without [by beings from
Ahriman's subphysical realm]. p 100
------------------------------
This will hopefully provide some idea of how we
obtained what we call intelligence. There is much
more to it, but the upshot for purposes of this section is
that Lucifer is associated with wisdom, knowledge,
freedom, egotism, falsehood, sickness, and death.
Keep these traits in mind for later.
Lucifer incarnated in approximately 3000 B.C. into a
Chinese nobleman, who then became a teacher. [19]
So, not only was he involved in giving us our reason
and free will, but he also provided mankind with what
Steiner calls, on the same page, "the pre-Christian,
pagan culture which still survived in the gnosis of the
earliest Christian centuries." Interestingly, Blavatsky
indicates that the Oriental Cabala is the original:
[According to HPB, these branches were all sourced in
"the great Oriental mother-root" and its "primitive
Oriental Cabala" -- Cabala meaning (esoteric)
"tradition." Then she briefly traces some of its
branchings, alluding to the Egyptian, Pythagorean, and
Greek mysteries, primitive Christianity, its early
Gnostic divisions, and their relation to the origin of the
Rosicrucian brotherhood in the 13th century.]
As alchemists and conjurers they [the Rosicrucians]
became proverbial. Later . . . they gave birth to the
more modern Theosophists, at whose head was
Paracelsus, and to the Alchemists. . . .
The Rosicrucian Cabala is but an epitome of the
Jewish and the Oriental ones combined, the latter
being the most secret of all. The Oriental Cabala, the
practical, full, and only existing copy, is carefully
preserved at the headquarters of this Brotherhood in
the East, and, I may safely vouch, will never come out
of its possession. . . .[20]
The Cult of Isis Adopts Lucifer
There are a few more direct indications linking Lucifer
and Ishtar. Among many other titles, Ishtar was known
as "The Lightbringer," "Light of the World," "Exalted
Light of Heaven," and "Torch of Heaven and Earth."
Ishtar is also known as Venus, and according to
Steiner, Lucifer is the planetary being of Venus. [21]
The statue of her in New York Harbor, which is
known as the Statue of Liberty (designed by a French
Freemason), carries a torch and a book, symbolizing
intelligence and information, two components of
wisdom. The torch is also a symbol of a future role of
Lucifer. Note the statue's similarity to the Colossus of
Rhodes, which was dedicated to Ishtar's brother,
Shamash/Helios, the Sun God (which is also a
designation for luciferic beings).
While searching the web for information on the
significance of owl symbology, I found, along with
indications that it represents Athena/Ishtar, indications
that it represents various qualities besides wisdom
which Steiner connects with Lucifer. One web page
mentions several cultures that regard the owl as an
omen of death, or as evil. [22]
This common symbology almost certainly indicates
that Ishtar's priesthood, which became known as the
Cult of Isis, adopted Lucifer's agenda when the
Anunnaki had completed their task of establishing
mankind on the physical plane, and withdrew into the
background to allow mankind to exercise his free will
and reason while preventing us from destroying the
planet.
The sacrifices to Moloch are a good example of this
luciferic influence, since as I noted above they were
probably intended as an attempt to regress the
consciousness of the participants to the atavistic
(outmoded) unthinking clairvoyance which was fading
at that time. They saw this as begging the gods to
"speak" to them.
The Great Owl: Symbol of The Cult of Isis
In the final analysis, the Great Owl symbolizes the Cult
of Isis, by symbolizing all four of its gods: Ishtar,
Lucifer, and by virtue of the associated flames
representing abandonment to Lucifer-stimulated
desires, Dionysus and the "greater Moloch," Satan.
The main difference between the original form of
sacrifice and the Establishment's current mode of
sacrificing its minions to Satan is that their bodies
aren't cremated, but hijacked.
So, if you're ever invited to attend the annual
Bohemian bacchanalia [23], you might want to
consider politely declining.
