The Earth’s Axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees. This angle is found in a surprising amount of artwork, especially the Baroque paintings. The tilt of the Earth causes literal hell on Earth as Winter is a direct result. One of the major aspects of this tilt is that it causes us to observe different constellations when observing the same point in the sky as the Earth moves through a Great Year. A Great Year is called the Precession of the Equinoxes.

• 1 Great Year = ~25800 years
• 1 Great Year cycles through the 12 Ages
• An Age is a house of the Zodiac
• 1 Age = ~2150 years

The Great Year and The Holy Bible

Whoever wrote the Bible and for what reason is hidden knowledge. What is not hidden, is direct references to Ages. Whenever something is symbolically eaten, offered, stabbed, burned, killed, smashed or destroyed it signifies transitioning into the next Age after the current one was just “sacrificed.”

Taurus, the Bull

Exodus 32 (King James Version)

1. And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

2. And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

3. And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

4. And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

5. And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.

20. And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

Aries, the Ram

Leviticus 8 (King James Version)

18. And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

19. And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

20. And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

21. And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Genesis 22 (King James Version)

10. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

11. And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

12. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

13. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

Pisces, the Two Fish

Matthew 14 (King James Version)

17. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

18. He said, Bring them hither to me.

19. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

Aquarius, the Water Bearer

Luke 22 (King James Version)

8. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

9. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10. And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

Why is this Important?

The constellations are the 12 hours of a clock. Earth is the hour hand. The key concept emphasized in ancient knowledge is time cycles based on The Sun’s True Power.

The ancient civilizations did not have bright street lights, skyscrapers, or other large sources of light polluting the sky at night. The ancients could clearly see the sky, the stars, the Moon, the Sun, even Venus and other planets. When you are an ancient civilization whose life is owed directly to the Sun for its sunlight and warmth, you will tend to become fascinated with the large glowing orb of energy that rises each day. The Sun was a clock. By studying the movement of the Sun, the ancient civilizations knew when to perform such things as preparing for Winter.

As a form of respect and worship, the Sun was carefully studied on a daily basis. More particularly, the “constellations” were transformed into anthropomorphisms such as the Leo the Lion, or Cancer the Crab. The ancients did what anyone would and should do. They projected their imagination into the formation of heavenly lights to make them come alive. They developed a story, or myth, which stars (pun intended) the Sun as the main anthropomorphic character. Lets take a look at this story in both highly objective astrological terms, and then in mythological terms.

The Astrological Story of the Sun

The Sun’s position, when observed at a fix point in time (for example 8:00 AM) on a daily basis will change over time. This is why days seem shorter and longer during different seasons. Before the Sun begins to fall back downward from its highest position, the constellation Scorpio is seen in Autumn rising with the Sun. From Earth, the Sun appears to rise on the horizon closer to the south as the days progress. The days become shorter. Nights become longer. It becomes colder. The Winter Solstice, December 21st, is the day when the Sun stops moving its position on the horizon. For 3 (three) days, the Sun is observed on the horizon at the same point. This is the end of the season “Fall”, because the Sun stops “Falling.” After the three days, the Sun begins to move Northward again. And so the cycle continues. If you are observing this phenomenon above the 66.5 to 67 degree latitude line, there is no Sun in the sky during the three days. The Sun will remain below the horizon for three days.

On the morning of December 25th, when observing the rise of the Sun the following objects are seen rising from the Eastern horizon in chronological order:

1. The three stars of Orion’s Belt
2. Dog Star Sirius (Sirius being pointed to by the three stars of Orion’s Belt)
3. The constellation Virgo
4. The constellation Serpens (The head of Serpens close to the foot of Virgo)
5. The Sun in conjunction with the constellation Aquila (Aquila appears to be standing on the Sun)

Simultaneously on the Western horizon the constellation Hydra is seen rising. That is the basic observation regarding the Sun disappearing for three days.

The reason for this entire conundrum is because of The Tilt of the Earth

The Mythological Story of Jesus

According to the Bible:

1. Jesus Christ was born in a manger
2. Mother was the virgin mother named Mary (Mariam)
3. Father was God (Holy Spirit)
4. Three kings followed a bright star to find Jesus, and to give him gifts.
5. Jesus was crucified on the cross and died.
6. He was buried for three days.
7. On the third day he rose again and ascended into heaven.

The Mythological Story of Horus

According to the Egyptian historical record:

1. Horus was born in a cave
2. Mother was Isis (Isis being a virgin is still in debate)
3. Father was Osiris (The god of Death/Rebirth)
4. Horus’ birth was marked by the star Sirius
5. Horus was killed by the mark of a scorpion
6. Horus was buried in a tomb
7. Horus resurrected after 3 days

The Astromythological Story of The Sun

Jesus, Horus, Mithra, Buddha, Krishna, and a host of other mythological figures are the Sun. Their twelve disciples or helpers, or twelve accompanying figures are the signs of the Zodiac. The reason why Judas kisses Jesus before Jesus dies, is the scorpion sting leaves a sting mark that looks like lips. Jesus is crucified on the Solar cross of the Zodiac. Here are the direct corollations:

1. Jesus, Horus, etc are the Sun
2. Twelve disciples and the like are the Zodiac signs
3. The 3 Kings are the three stars of the Orion constellation
4. The bright star is Sirius
5. The death symbolizes the Sun not being seen moving or not being seen at all in the sky for 3 days
6. The resurrection is the Sun beginning its journey back Northward

The phrase, “As Above, so Below” comes from the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus. The picture shown above is not the actual tablet.

According to Wikipedia:

“Hermeticism is a set of philosophical and religious beliefs based primarily upon the Hellenistic Egyptian pseudepigraphical writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus who is the representation of the congruence of the Egyptian god Thoth and the Greek Hermes.” … “The Emerald Tablet, also known as Smaragdine Table, Tabula Smaragdina, or The Secret of Hermes, is a text purporting to reveal the secret of the primordial substance and its transmutations. It claims to be the work of Hermes Trismegistus (“Hermes the Thrice-Great”), a legendary Egyptian sage or god, variously identified with the Egyptian god Thoth and/or the Greek god Hermes. This short and cryptic text was highly regarded by European alchemists as the foundation of their art, in particular of its Hermetic tradition.”

Newton’s translation
A 17th century depiction of the Tablet by Heinrich Khunrath, 1606

One translation, by Isaac Newton, found among his alchemical papers as reported by B. J. Dobbs:

1. Tis true without lying, certain most true.
2. That wch is below is like that wch is above that wch is above is like yt wch is below to do ye miracles of one only thing.
3. And as all things have been arose from one by ye meditation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
4. The Sun is its father, the moon its mother,
5. the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth its nourse.
6. The father of all perfection in ye whole world is here.
7. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
7a. Separate thou ye earth from ye fire, ye subtile from the gross sweetly wth great indoustry.
8. It ascends from ye earth to ye heaven again it desends to ye earth and receives ye force of things superior inferior.
9. By this means ye shall have ye glory of ye whole world thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
10. Its force is above all force. ffor it vanquishes every subtile thing penetrates every solid thing.
11a. So was ye world created.
12. From this are do come admirable adaptations whereof ye means (Or process) is here in this.
13. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of ye philosophy of ye whole world.
14. That wch I have said of ye operation of ye Sun is accomplished ended.

This concept, is symbolized by one arm up and one arm down. The primary idea behind this is that the “above” refers to what is visible in the sky. The below, refers to Earth. This creates an equality as it explains how the Earth is a microcosm of the configuration of the planets in the solar system. It draws the connection that the Earth is affected by planetary orbits.

What is Freemasonry? According to Freemasonry.org:

“Freemasonry is the oldest and largest world wide fraternity dedicated to the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of a Supreme Being. Although of a religious nature, Freemasonry is not a religion. It urges its members, however, to be faithful and devoted to their own religious beliefs.”

“The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine illumination of his lodge that as a Mason his religion must be universal: Christ, Buddha, or Mohamed, the name means little, for he recognizes only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows before every altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizing with his truer understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth.” (“The Lost Keys of Freemasonry”, Manly P. Hall, 33o, p.65, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co., Richmond, VA., 1976.)

Freemasonry then, to an outside observer, appears to be an ambiguous umbrella religion. With the basics established, lets look at how the organization works.

You can click the above picture for a much larger size.

The Freemasons use a series of steps or “degrees” toward reaching the highest level, or title. The first three steps are:

1. Entered Apprentice
2. Fellow Craft
3. Master Mason

Most Freemasons choose to stay at the 3rd degree. However, if one wishes to progress further there are two options. A red lodge (pill) and blue lodge (pill). Yes, I am refering to the Matrix. The blue lodge is the Scottish Rite, and the Red Lodge is the York Rite. Both paths lead to the same point at the top of Freemasonry.

The Scottish Rite Degrees:

• 4° – Secret Master
• 5° – Perfect Master
• 6° – Intimate Secretary
• 7° – Provost and Judge
• 8° – Intendant of the Building
• 9° – Master Elect of Nine (Elu of the Nine)
• 10° – Elect of Fifteen (Elu of the Fifteen)
• 11° – Sublime Master Architect (Elu of the Twelve)
• 12° – Grand Master Architect (Master Architect)
• 13° – Master of the Ninth Arch (Royal Arch of Solomon)
• 14° – Grand Elect Mason (Perfect Elu)
• 15° – Knight of the East or Sword (Knight of the East)
• 16° – Prince of Jerusalem
• 17° – Knight of the East and West
• 18° – Knight of the Rose Croix of H.R.D.M. (Knight Rose Croix) – It is unknown what HRDM means
• 19° – Grand Pontiff (Pontiff)
• 20° – Master Ad Vitam (Master of the Symbolic Lodge)
• 21° – Patriarch Noachite (Noachite or Prussian Knight)
• 22° – Prince of Libanus (Knight of the Royal Axe)
• 23° – Chief of the Tabernacle
• 24° – Prince of the Tabernacle
• 25° – Knight of the Brazen Serpent
• 26° – Prince of Mercy
• 27° – Commander of the Temple (Knight Commander of the Temple)
• 28° – Knight of the Sun (Knight of the Sun or Prince Adept)
• 29° – Knight of St. Andrew (Scottish Knight of St. Andrew)
• 30° – Grand Elect Knight K H (Knight Karlosh)
• 31° – Grand Inspector Inquisitor (Commander Inspector Inquisitor)
• 32° – Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret (Master of the Royal Secret)
• 33° – Sovereign Grand Inspector General – It is said that this degree is strictly an honorary degree

The York Rite Levels:

• Mark Master
• Past Master (Virtual)
• Most Excellent Master
• Royal Arch Mason
• Royal Master / Select Master / Super Excellent Master
• Order of the Red Cross
• Order of Knights of Malta
• Order of Knights Templar

So what is a lodge? It is a facility that Freemasons use:

Notice the Illuminated Triangle in both pictures similar to the seal on the reverse side of the U.S. Dollar Bill:

Also take notice to the checkerboarded floor. You will find the checker-boarded floor (commonly called Masonic Floor) throughout movies and entertainment.

According to Bibliotecapleyades,

“Hanging over the fireplace in the famous Green Room at the White House in Washington, D.C. is an acclaimed oil portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of our country’s most celebrated “founding fathers.” It depicts the famed statesman sitting studiously, poring over an ancient document which he is holding with his right hand. His left hand, meanwhile, is at his throat, set with the finger in a V-design, the thumb pushing upward to his chin. Franklin’s neck is a prominent focus of the painting. Obviously, this is a sign Franklin is communicating.”

Freemasonry is an institution in which an initiate is climbing a ladder or stairs to reach the Light symbolized by an illuminated eye sometimes shown inside an equidistant triangle. The ultimate understanding is of the alchemical and cyclical nature of the solar system. The rituals for advancement involve taking blood oaths of silence or things such as being threatened with a dagger or sword.

Freemasonry and Witchcraft

Freemasonry is strikingly similar to Witchcraft. It can be assumed that Witchcraft was one of the cults of alchemical knowledge. Here is a list of the common similarities:

• They both have a foundational system of three degrees, with some forms of Wicca offering higher degrees after achieving the third degree.
• Both are secret societies because they both keep their membership rolls secret, and secrets are kept from the general public by both “religions.”
• Both usually meet in secret, with the exceptions for the purpose of rare openly public events.
• Both have ceremonial initiations to pass a candidate from one degree to another, of which include sworn oaths.
• Both have ceremonial form of purgings & purifications of the ritual area before commencing any ritual work.
• They both have the candidates remove all secular clothing, remove all metal (i.e. jewelry, etc.), and hoodwinked (i.e. blindfolded, etc.) with ropes ceremonially tied around them (the form of the tying varies).
• Both groups have the candidate stand in the Northeast corner of the “temple” in the first degree.
• Both groups challenge the candidate by piercing their naked chest with a sharp impliment (witches utilize the sword, while Masons use the point of a compass).
• They both challenge the candidate by asking for secret passwords.
• Both have the candidate lead in a circular walk (or “walking around”) of the temple while hoodwinked.
• Both have the candidate(while hoodwinked) endure being picked up, carried around, spun around, being pushed or struck from one person to another. It is supposed to create an “altered state of consciousness in the candidate.”
• Both have the ceremonial un-hoodwinking of the candidate, after he/she has taken the oath, before lighted candles which are supposed to bring “illumination.”
• Both explain to the new initiate the “working tools” pertaining to that degree & each tool’s use is taught to the initiate.
• Both groups, in the higher degrees, bring the candidate through a “from-death-to-rebirth” ritual in which he/she acts the part of a hero/heroine of the craft.
