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.
