The Egyptian-Masonic-Satanic Connection
The Egyptian-Masonic-Satanic Connection is a thesis connecting Freemasonry, Satanism, and the ancient Egyptian Mystery Religions.
The Lineage of the Mystery Religions
The origins of modern Satanic practices and Satanic Ritual Abuse are traced back to the Ancient Mystery Religions. These Pagan mysteries are prophesied to be used by Satan in the end of time to form the backbone of the apostate church. The history of these Mystery Religions begins in ancient Babylon.
The figure Nimrod is credited as the progenitor of this lineage, having been responsible for the building of the Tower of Babel. This endeavour represented the first recorded attempt by man to establish a One World Government and a Universal Religion in opposition to God.
Nimrod is honoured in Masonic history as a great Mason and is given the distinction of being called the first Grand Master.
The teachings and practices of these ancient Mystery Religions are maintained today by various occult organisations, including Modern Witchcraft, Rosicrucianism, The Theosophical Society, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and the Ordo Templar Orientis (O.T.O.).
In the Mystery Religions, a system was established that brought people into direct demonic contact and schooled them in the occult arts. The powers revered in the Mysteries were, in reality, Nature-Gods.
Freemasonry as a Successor to Paganism
Freemasonry is unequivocally a descendant or reincarnation of the Mysteries, being entirely in harmony with the profound teaching of the Mysteries. Freemasonry is modelled on the plan of the Ancient Mysteries, maintaining its legacy as a lineal successor of the ancient Mysteries and Wisdom-teaching. The universality of Freemasonry's symbols and tenets is directly linked to the ancient mysteries of Egypt.
Masonic literature documents the history of Freemasonry and the identity of many Pagan Masonic gods. The pagan origins of Freemasonry are readily apparent through the comparison of the Satanic Ritual Calendar with days held sacred for the celebration of the Mystery Religions.
The relationship between Freemasonry and the Mystery Religions is confirmed by Masonic authorities who state that Masonry is the spiritual descendant of the Mysteries. The secrets possessed by operative Masons were received from the Chaldean Magicians. The OATH OF NIMROD is one of the Masonic oaths taken in the Apprentice Degree, linking the Lodge directly to the origins of the Mystery Religions.
Specific Masonic symbols confirm this pagan descent and connection to human sacrifice:
- The Masonic symbol of the double-headed eagle stems from the pagan rites of human sacrifice.
- The symbolism of the bee in Freemasonry is used because the fact that the male bee is a sacrifice victim.
- The god Moloch, known in Scripture as the pagan god who was worshipped with the sacrifice of human children, is closely associated with the Masonic hero Hiram Abiff.
The Egyptian-Satanic Connection and the Hiram Mythos
The connection between the Masonic Lodge and the Egyptian Mystery Religion: The Egyptians were considered the most learned of all ancient peoples in the Occult sciences of Nature. Freemasonry's symbols are based fundamentally on the outline of the ancient mysteries of Egypt.
The legend of Hiram Abiff, central to the Master Mason degree, is derived directly from the Egyptian Mystery Religions, specifically the myth of Osiris. The legend of Hiram Abiff and the Osiris myth are one and the same. The story of the Egyptian god Osiris involves murder, mutilation, and necrophilia (sex with corpses). Osiris was annually slain, dismembered, and buried in parts by his worshippers.
Masonic authorities claim the All-Seeing Eye is a symbol of the Deity, which, anciently in Egypt, was a hieroglyphic of Osiris and the Sun. Furthermore, the Egyptian god Min (Menu), worshipped as the lord of Thebes, was the prototype of natural energy, symbolising the phallic deity Pan. The Egyptian god Osiris is, according to Masonic documentation, the symbolism behind the third degree of the Blue Lodge, the Master Mason degree.
The Egyptian-Satanic nature of the rituals is clearly apparent through examination of _The Egyptian Book of the Dead_, a collection of Egyptian papyri. These passages are deemed gory and blatantly Satanic. The documented practices of the Ancient Egyptian Religion, when compared with the disclosures of survivors of Satanic ritual abuse, show striking similarities.
Practices detailed in _The Egyptian Book of the Dead_ include:
Drinking Blood:
The text references the Devourer of Blood. Victims of ritual abuse relate accounts of cult members draining and saving blood for consumption, introducing children to the taste of blood in mixtures with milk and fruit beverages.
[[Cannibalism]]:
The text mentions the eating of intestines. King Unas is described as a cannibal fond of scalping people and bondage, who devours men and lives upon the gods. The body parts and throats of victims are cut and boiled in a cauldron at night-time.
Ritual Torture and Perversion:
The Egyptian text refers to a Torture Chamber and the Crusher of Bones. It also describes sexual perversion and self-mutilation, linking drops of blood to the phallus of Ra. The use of snakes is described, including a chamber of snakes designed to fill victims with reptiles to teach them to withstand bodily terror.
The Boat Ritual:
The Egyptian boat ritual involves a boat with a mummy, a phallus erect, and serpents coils. Victims of ritual abuse have frequently reported being put in a boat with snakes.
Aleister Crowley and the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.)
The connection between the Egyptian, Masonic, and Satanic spheres is exemplified by Aleister Crowley, a 33° Mason and Grand Inspector General of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. Crowley was a profoundly spiritual figure who had a deep Egyptian flavour to his occult practice, including his honeymoon in Egypt and an invocation in Cairo which led to the writing of his most important book, _The Book of The Law_.
Crowley’s doctrine, which is carried over into his secret societies, asserts that human sacrifice is the most satisfactory and suitable method for the highest spiritual working. The preferred victim is specified as a male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence.
Crowley was deeply involved with the O.T.O., a secret order dedicated to advancing the Universal Brotherhood. The O.T.O. taught sexual magic, which they felt unlocked all occult mysteries. There is a definite connection between the O.T.O. and Freemasonry, as the candidates for the O.T.O. are frequently Masons.
The O.T.O. adopted the principles of _The Book of the Law_, which includes the direct sacrifice of children. The O.T.O. rules state that one must sacrifice cattle, large and small, _after_ a child, and that the best blood is the fresh blood of a child. The O.T.O. established Profess-Houses for the care of women and children, where children were sometimes adopted by members of the Order.
Black Masonry and the Knowledge of Evil
Black Masonry refers to the degrees 19 through 30 in the Scottish Rite, known as the Council of Kadosh. Black Masonry is explicitly DEVOTED TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL. The degrees of Black Masonry are said to interweave with the Egyptian tradition. The K.H. or Black Masonry is dedicated to continuing the knowledge of evil.
The doctrine of Black Masonry states that the teaching and progress comprised in these degrees are merely a prototype to explain divine justice, with the aspirant learning that the evil and horror associated with the working out of karma were based on a perfect balance of divine justice. The highest stage of Black Masonry is devoted to the knowledge of evil.
Freemasonry and Ritual Abuse
Freemasonry is an organisation that deceives good men. Testimony shows that there is a connection between Freemasonry and Satanism that leads to demon possession. Personal testimonies from survivors of Satanic ritual abuse (SRA) confirm that this type of abuse is being perpetrated by Freemasons.
Statistics suggest that high percentages of victims have a connection with Freemasonry. Approximately thirty-three percent of SRA victims were abused by Masons. Fifty percent of the actual abuse claims are reported to have taken place on Masonic properties.
The links between Freemasonry and ritual abuse are based on several factors:
- Overlapping Membership: Leading occultists who are Satanists or witches are known to have been Freemasons.
- Appeal of Secrecy: The Masonic death oath obligates every Mason to conceal Lodge secrets and conversations. The penalty for breaking this oath is the physical destruction of the body. This structure of secrecy provides a cloak for evil deeds.
- Recruitment Possibilities: The Masonic Lodge offers opportunities for recruitment into other occult orders without the knowledge or disapproval of the Lodge.
- Cover-Up Theory: Masonic oaths mandate that Masons must help fellow Masons cover up crimes, regardless of whether the fellow Mason is right or wrong, and keep all secrets. This co-ordination enablse SRA crimes to happen.
- The Generational Link: Many Freemasons have a tremendous compulsion for their children to continue in the Lodge. Transgenerational cults are often perpetuated through family generations, blending traditions with power and programming to keep the cult flourishing.
