Lux lucet in tenebris, et tenebrae non comprehenderunt

(“Light shines into darkness, but the darkness comprehends not”)

~ Aurora Consurgens, Pseudo-AquinasN1

With the opening in theaters May 16 of the new sci-fi action flick, Star Trek Into Darkness (hereinafter “Into Darkness”), it won’t only be Trekkies paying rapt attention. Into Darkness has already drawn the attention of the synchro-mystic guru, Loren Coleman, who notes that the film contributes to the bombed-city cultural leitmotif that is au courant.N2

Even a cursory glance at the plot summary on Wikipedia indicates that the movie appears to bristle with occult references.N3 Besides the “Pike” surname, familiar to the Star Trek franchise generally, and evocative of the Freemasonic magus Albert Pike, this latest deep-space excursion includes notable mentions for such curious proper nouns as “Nibiru” (alias for the so-called earth-destroying “Planet X” a.k.a. “Marduk”) and

the time-obsessed “Kronos” (about which we will have more to say later). It is sure to keep name-analyzing onomatologists quite busy.

Students of numerology can scarcely feel left out, however, as the movie appears to have not a little of interest numerically as well. Hermetic researcher Jay Weidner N4 might take notice of the reference to a distance “237,000 km” from earth.N5 A numerically significant 300 year artificially-induced sleep apparently figures into the plot.N6 There are even honorable mentions for the perennial 23 and 11 (e.g., the coordinates 23.17.46.11).N7 The 46 is also of interest, since it is the atomic number for the chemical element of palladium – a word which will crop up further on.

Perhaps most importantly though, from the standpoint of the plot, is the recurring mention of the number 72. In the words of the Wikipedia summary, there are “72 long-range prototype photon torpedoes” that are really “cryogenic pods with Harrison'sN8 72 colleagues hidden inside”.

Now 72 is quite an interesting number to have numerological pride of place. In Kabbalah, the Hebrew Shemhamphorasch (or Shem ha-Mephorash, “the explicit name”) is variously described as “a 72-letter name for God...[God's] full and proper name” or as “72 names of God in the Hebrew tongue.”N9 Other sourcesN10 give the Shemhamphorasch as an enumeration of the names of 72 angels (or demons).N11

These Kabbalistic notions are close cousins with the Islamic notion of “72 Virgins (houri) in Paradise.” Additionally: “In Islam, 72 is the number of sects or denominations that are doomed to Hell, according to Hadith (Sayings of prophet Muhammad).”N12

72 is a heavily symbolically-implicated number, it seems.N13 Even a cursory glance at Wikipedia's article on “72,” will reveal many curious connexions.N14

For present purposes, however, we will concern ourselves with the primary earth-bound location named in the film.

The City of London “Square Mile”

Students of high finance, international wire-pulling organizations and even Freemasonry will be watching to see what develops from a terror attack scenario apparently based in the City of London. Known as “the Square Mile,” this small enclave is totally distinct from greater London and has been described as the richest tract of land on earth.N15

At the same time as heavy influence over world monetary affairs is wielded from the City, what is much less well-known is that control over the entire international structure of time and space is arguably based nearby under control of the same cryptic power organism.

The Tower of London (top), built on an ancient hill-fort, as Francis Dashwood would later so build his Hell Fire Club headquarters at Wycombe,N16 has been the subject of numerous cinematic productions. Rowland Lee's 1939 film starring Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, and Barbara O'Neil (bottom); Roger Corman's 1962 flick, with Vincent Price (not pictured).

For we can now disclose that the Prime Meridian of longitude at Greenwich was established by high adepts of alchemy and occult orders starting from the chief medieval monument in England, the legendary Tower of London. The meridian, of course, anchors not only longitude and latitude, which back up the legal description of every piece of property in the developed world. It also forms the basis point for what is now known as the Universal Time System (formerly Greenwich Mean Time).

Moreover, latest developments in time-measurement technologies based in the U.S. have carried the Greenwich-based operation forward into new orders of magnitude with the Global Positioning System (GPS) extending the secret domination to outer space. (We hope to demonstrate these latter flourishes in a further installment.)

For a general introduction to the heavily occultist-guided City of London, see HERE.

Alleged 7/7 attacker, Khan (top); Star Trek's villain, Khan (bottom).

The spectre of a successful terror attack against London is not merely the province of science fiction. Readers will recall the 7/7 Terror Attack of July 7, 2005 targeting three underground trains and one bus. One of the persons fingered for this bombing was Mohammad Sidique Khan.N17 It turns out that “Khan” is also the true identity of the antagonist in Into Darkness.

As we write this, the news media are preoccupied with a fresh terror attack – the “First...since 7/7...”.N18 Specifically occurring in the London district of Woolwich, this brings in Greenwich (since “Woolwich... is... located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich...”),N19 a locale that we will take up in detail in a subsequent post. Here we will simply note that not only did the attack occur in the mystically-significant Greenwich-area, but the victim, a twenty-five year old British soldier named Lee Rigby,N20 was, at the time of his murder, “...assist[ing] with duties at Regimental Headquarters in the Tower of London.”N21

London is a city that has numerous mystical places, some of which supposedly serve as talismanic protections. These attacks invite the question, Has one (or more) of the City's protective charms failed?

Brân in a tarot representation, as emperor (top);
Bran Stark (bottom), who calls himself “Bran the Broken,”
is a character from George R. R. Martin's fantasy novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire
(as well as the cable television series, Game of Thrones).

In primeval Britannia, even before the reign of the mythic King Arthur, ruled the Welsh giant known as Brân the Blessed.N22 In the legendary history of BritainN23 it was said that after (Roman Emperor) Diocletian's (numerologically-significant) thirty-three wicked daughters slaughtered their husbands, they were exiled.N24 Decamping at England – which they named “Albion,” ostensibly after the eldest daughter, AlbaN25 – they proceeded to interbreed with demons, spawning a race of giants,N26 in a Nephilim-type scenario (at least, under one interpretation of Genesis 6:4-5).N27

(Source)

The Elizabethan magus, John Dee, devised a key cipher - the “Monad” – that he published in his book, Monas Hieroglyphica (1564). (Incidentally, Gottfried Leibniz also gets into “monads” in his 1714 treatise, La Monadologie.) Dennis Hauck writes that “...the cipher...was considered so important...that it became known around the world as
the Greater Seal of London.”

In any event, the name “Brân” signifies “raven” or “crow.” These black birds have great importance in alchemy – particularly during the so-called nigredo (“blackening”) phase.N28

(Source)

Brân finds himself embroiled in a conflict concerning the marriage of his sister. Fighting ensues, during the course of which Brân is mortally wounded. He then instructs his remaining comrades:

“[T]ake you my head...and bear it even unto the White Mount, in London, and bury it there with the face towards France.”N29

In fact, there was an interim period between Brân's ritual beheading and the burial of the head under “the White Mount” – “...as the Tower is known in Welsh lore.” (Note: The “White Tower” is the keep of, and oldest structure in, the complex known as “The Tower of London.”) During this intermediate period, Brân's followers “...live for eighty years without perceiving the passing of time.” It can be truly said, however, that the “time-machine” Tower-site was a mystical place of power well before the Norman invader, William the conqueror, put Bishop Gundulf up to the task (in A.D. 1078) of constructing what it now called the “White Tower.”N30

(Source)

Somewhat parenthetically we note that the interval between decapitation and interment was “fourscore and seven years...” – the same length as that interval between the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 and Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address in 1863.N31

(Source)

“Palladium” (def.) “'safeguard,' ...'sacred image of Pallas Athene,' from Latin palladium, from Greek Palladion, ...'of Pallas.' It stood in the citadel of Troy and the safety of the city was believed to depend on it.”N32

The upshot is this: “The palladium of Britain,N33 associated with its chief city, is the head of Bran... . As long as the king's head is buried at a certain point, then the land cannot be conquered.”N34

The Green Knight plays a beheading game with Sir Gawain (top); Green Man,N35 in a tarot depiction (center); A character named “Bran” also appears in a Marvel “She-Hulk” comic (bottom), where the “She Hulk” is clearly a green woman;N36

A recent bit of news: “Police hunt woman dressed as the Incredible Hulk over alleged attack outside McDonald's” (top);N37 Shall we take this opportunity to insert a gratuitous plug for our follow-up post on Greenwich? (The Wicked Witch of the West, a “green witch,” – bottom).

Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh link Brân' to the “Green Man” and observe, in this regard, that the buried head “... performed functions strikingly similar to those performed by the Grail in the later romances.”N38

(Source)

Going further, the duo note that, amongst the allegations made against the Knights Templar in the 14th century, was that they “...worshipp[ed] a mysterious severed head sometimes known as 'Baphomet'.”N39

As an added wrinkle, it is said that “...King Arthur dug up the head...”. Whither the British palladium?N40

(Source)

As a hedge against a devalued dollar, we are urged to buy gold and silver...but palladium? Indeed.

“One strange aspect of this story is that the raven...can still be found around the White Mound. The story now is that destruction will come to London if the ravens ever leave...”. We note that this connexion implicates the Stuart monarch King Charles II (about whom, more later) who “...decree[d] that at least six ravens should be kept at the tower at all times.”N41

(Source)

London occultists are not putting all of their raven eggs in one basket, however. No, the magical protection of the City of London may also be apportioned to several looming dragon statues,N42 variously placed.N43 Variously guardians or emissaries of evil,N44 they are associated with riches and “...treasure, and as such are enemies which must be defeated if the treasure is to be won.”N45

(Source)

Given its financial clout, then, we should not be too surprised to learn that “...the city of London is a dragon city...”.N46 The city's emblem displays the motto Domine Dirige Nos (“Lord, direct Us”) on a banner underneath “[t]wo Tudor Dragons”.N47

(Source)

Here one is apt to encounter a bit of misdirection, as at least a few of the London dragons are sometimes called “Griffins.”N48 However, we are most definitely dealing with dragons – ensigns reflecting the “...Dragon statues that mark the boundary of the City itself.”N49

(Source)

“The [alchemical] prima materia as the dragon, being fertilized by the Holy Ghost (the avis Hermetis).
– “Hermes Bird,” Theatricum chemicum Britannicum (1652).”N50

Again, this hearkens back to the Arthurian Cycle wherein Arthur's father is reputed to have been Uther Pendragon. “Pen-dragon” signifies the dragon's head.N51

(Source)

Such a dragon guards the former entrance at Temple Bar. Wikipedia's caption reads “Horace Jones' Temple Bar marker topped by Charles Bell(*) Birch's heraldic Dragon.”N52

(Source)

Temple Bar, the 17th-century architectural creation of the one-time Freemasonic Grand Master, Christopher Wren, traditionally served as one of the main regulated gateways into the City of London. “Its name is derived from its vicinity to the Temple Church, the former English Headquarters of the Knights Templar, subsequently the place where the guilds of lawyers were organised into what would become the Inns of Court.”N53 Baigent and Leigh comment that “'Barram Novi Templi', or Temple bar, where Fleet Street meets the Strand, was the gate opening into the [Templar] Order's precincts.”N54

(Source)

Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) visits the Temple Church in the 2000 movie, The Da Vinci Code.

“Of all the sacred places in London, the Temple Church is probably the most psychically charged.”N55 It was consecrated in 1185 and expanded with a “rectangular chapel” from the original, entirely circular, apse.N56 Similar to the Rosslyn Chapel,N57 and incongruously with its ostensibly Christian purpose, the Temple Church contains representations of “grotesque heads” besides its famous knight effigies.N58

The City of London is presided over by the Lord Mayor. In bygone times, before entering the city, the English sovereign would stop at the Temple Bar gate and engage in a sort of ritual with the Lord Mayor. “The ceremony is still carried out today on major state occasions when the Queen halts at the Temple Bar to request permission to enter the City of London and if offered the Lord Mayor's Sword of State as a sign of loyalty.”N60

The London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

As one curious example of the far-flung influence of the City, the main attraction in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, is the London Bridge.N61 In 1968, businessman Robert Paxton McCullochN62 purchased the iconic bridge from the City of London and painstakingly disassembled, transported here and reassembled – all to the tune of nearly ten million dollars.

(Source)

The dedication of the London Bridge, October 1971.

“... Lake Havasu residents... watched in amazement as the historical pieces of granite piled up at a nearby Havasu worksite. Even more amazing, was watching the transformation of the peninsula into an island, as a mile-long bridge channel was dredged, giving purpose to the transplanted landmark. Included with the bridge purchase, were the unique lampposts, molded from French cannons captured during the 1815 battle of Waterloo.

“The London Bridge officially opened on October 10,N63 1971, with a gala celebration. Opening day included an elaborate fanfare; spectacular fireworks, a parade, entertainment, dramatic release of hundreds of balloons and white doves, colorful hot air balloon landings, and celebrities, such as Bonanza fame [Lorne] Greene, and dignitaries such as the Lord Mayor of London.”N64

“...Build it up with silver and gold, Silver and gold, silver and gold

Build it up with silver and gold, My fair lady

Silver and gold will be stolen away, Stolen away, stolen away,

Silver and gold will be stolen away, My fair lady...”

~ London Bridge Is Falling DownN67

In addition, at the east end of Havasu's rebuilt bridge, a sizable replica of a City of London guardian dragon was erected on a pedestal which was so labeled on its base. So it was not without reason that James Shelby Downard,N68 an investigator of American anomalous sites and a pioneer of what we now call synchro-mysticism, spent a good bit of time pondering this tangled skein of remote-controlled crypto-political symbolism here. Jim Brandon recalled his experiences with his friend Mr. Downard’s Lake Havasu research and how it led to his own speculations around the enigmatic Four Corners area to the northeast. See the end note.N69

We would also be remiss if we didn't mention the London Stone. The nondescript and misshapen block of limestone seems a curious candidate for a protective charm. Nevertheless, we read that “[b]y the early 19th century, a number of writers had suggested that London Stone was once regarded as London's 'Palladium'...”.N70

Reporter Nick Barlay writes:

“Invisible London is a city of witches, ghosts, spectres, superstitions, legends, ley lines and occult geometries. Anyone looking for its mystical centre could do no worse than to glimpse the London Stone, moved from its original location to a setting in the wall of the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation at 111 Cannon Street, EC4.

“The stone is said to have been laid, 1,000 years before the Roman invasion, by Brutus the Trojan, the mythical founder of London, who sailed up the Thames and fought the giants Gog and Magog. On the Stone is the inscription: 'So long as the stone of Brutus is safe, so long shall London flourish.' The stone could be the altar from a temple on Ludgate Hill, the site of St Paul's, or from a stone circle. Or it could be connected to a ley line in turn connected to the ancient London river, the Walbrook. Or it could be, as it states on its plaque, a fragment of the original limestone once in the ground in front of Cannon Street station, and connected to a former London mayor.”N71

Note: The broader London area has more oddities than can be rehearsed, presently. For just one example, we would have to mention the so-called “Cleopatra's Needle” Egyptian obelisk at Victoria Embankment on the Thames,N72 and many other strange objects and places – like “Hawksmoor's Pentagram.”N73 (Incidentally, the London obelisk is one of four – two pairs of twins.)

However, enchanted thingamajigs are not the only entities worthy of our notice. London has also had its share of magically-charged persons.

(Source)

Although not widely known, arguably the most important of these personalities is Hayyim Samuel Jacob Falk (1708–1782), otherwise known as the Baal Shem (“Lord of the Name”) of London. The reader will recall our earlier mention of the Shem Hamphorasch (“the ineffable name”), in conjunction with the discussion of the number 72. Note that this is the selfsame "shem" of which Falk was a reputed master.

Falk was an Eastern European Kabbalist and alchemist who not only has allegedly served as a protection for London,N74 but also has as good a claim as any to having been one of the superiores incogniti (“unknown superiors”) that the Baron Karl Gotthelf von HundN75 highlights as constituting the upper echelon of his Rite of Strict Observance and, indeed, of Freemasonry more generally.N76

(Source)

Another “Dr. Falkon,” the character Stephen Falken, from the movie WarGames.N77 In the movie, Falken creates the supercomputer, “Joshua”N78 (a.k.a. the “WOPR”),N79 which nearly plunges the world into a nuclear World War III.N80

Suspected of having been explicitly masonically-connected himself, Falk – also sometimes known as “Dr. Falkon” – w as a known associate of the high-ranking General Charles Rainsford, who was “a prominent mason”. Recollecting London's immense financial clout, we also observe that "Falk's principal friends were the London bankers Aaron Goldsmid and his son."N81

(Source)

Earlier this year, NBC reported that: “For the first time, the hairstyle of the Roman vestal virgins
has been re-created on a modern head.”N82

Falk was regarded as a alchemist for such feats as being able to produce gold and create so-called “ever-burning lamps,”N83 which lamps Manly Hall associates with “the 'virgin lamps'...carried by the Vestal Virgins” (the moon-worshipping guardians of “the sacred fire of Vesta”).N84 The Vestal Virgins presided over lunar ceremonies and the manifestations of the triple-goddess (since the three-phased moon was believed to be the controller of menstruation).N85 Moon magicN86 variously involved human sacrifice or the sacrifice of “mannikin” proxies.N87

(Source)

Giuseppe Balsamo, a.k.a. “Cagliostro” (top).
Christopher Walken portraying Count Alessandro Cagliostro (bottom)
from the 2001 film, The Affair of the Necklace.

It is alleged that “[t]he Rabbi Jacob Falk taught sex magic to the notorious Cagliostro.”N88 This is unsurprising, really, both since the misleadingly named “Vestal Virgins” were, “[i]n many places”, none other than “sacred harlots” practicing magia sexualis,N89 and since streams of kabbalism, most obviously in Frankism (the system instituted by Jacob Frank), are infused both with sex magic and moon worship (e.g., in the “Kiddush Levanah” rite).N90 It seems that London is dracontic in multiple senses.N91

Falk's darker (perhaps black-magical) shenanigans are hinted at in accounts referring to his “kabbalistic devilry.”N92 The depth of this depravity is unclear, but besides the supposed sexual rituals, Falk has also been implicated in the mysterious death of the unnamed “...valet of the Comte de Westerloh [who] had his neck broken...when he [Falk] performed his famous sacrifice of the black calf in the garden of the Comte, in the presence of the Duc de Richelieu.”N93

(Source)

Residing in Wellclose Square,N94 just east of the Tower, Falk was neighbors with the Swedish mystic and possible spy, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 – 1772). “...Swedenborg sought out Jewish Kabbalists in the East End, and he soon came under the spell of Dr. Samuel Jacob Falk...”.N95

See Falk's grave, HERE. (Nearby, apparently, is the grave of a Cohen whose grave stone, as the photographer describes it, displays “...hands making the sign of the priestly blessing [live long and prosper as Mr Spock would say!].” See it HERE.)

(Source)

Finally, we must mention the satanist and occultist, Aleister Crowley. Fresh from Cambridge, and having just joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Crowley lived for a time at #67 Chancery Lane,N96 which today lies on the western edge of the Square Mile.N97 Crowley desired a more magickally-charged location, however (with “...a door facing north, the best direction in which to create a spell”N98), and soon abandoned his flat in the City of London and moved into his more famous residence, Boleskine House, on the shore of supposedly monster-inhabited Loch Ness in northern Scotland.

Rehearsing even highlights from Crowley's long career is well beyond our present scope. However, we invite the interested reader to (re-)visit the earlier post, HERE.

Also, stay tuned for our follow up post on Greenwich: In the meantime. We will not only dive deeper into the mystical toponomy (as James Shelby Downard would say) of England, but we will have an opportunity once again to mention “The Beast – 666,” Aleister Crowley.

These three stages occur numerous 'operations', which are sometimes listed as follows : calcination, dissolution, separation, conjunction, putrefaction, congelation, cibation, sublimation, fermentation, exaltation, multiplication, and projection. See Hauck, op. cit., for a good introduction.

N31 If we count back fourscore and seven years from the time of this writing, we land in 1926. That year, among other weirdness like the synthesizing of PCP/“angel dust” <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phencyclidine> and the Great Miami Hurricane, which formed on September 11 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Miami_Hurricane>, the U.S. Route 66 (“the Mother Road” see <http://copycateffect.blogspot.com/2012/08/weld.html>) was established November 11 and there was a “panic” in – of all places – London (!) due to a BBC radio production <http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/archive/permalink/the_bbc_radio_panic>.

N33 There is also supposed to have been an ultra-secret “Palladian” rite at the summit of Freemasonry. In fin de siecle Europe, Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès, writing under the name “Leo Taxil,” made explosive allegations regarding the existence of a Satanic, sex-obsessed group of high-level operators. This group included the Scottish Rite magus, Albert Pike, Adriano Lemmi (former Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy), as well as a shadowy female named “Diana Vaughan” – said to have been a “...descendant of the Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan”, “Taxil hoax,” Wikipedia, May 3, 2013, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxil_hoax>. Domenico Margiotta, allegedly an ex-grand master Mason-type who claimed such grandiose affiliations as those with the Lodge Savonarola in Florence and the Lodge Giordano Bruno in Palmi, to some extent defended (or seemed to) Taxil’s contentions. After several plot twists and turns, Taxil ostensibly recanted his early statements. However, there are several reasons why this supposed reversal constitutes a less-than-satisfactory resolution to the question of an upper-echelon, overtly sexual-Satanic cluster of “Masonic” initiates. For a summary of these reasons, and much else besides, see: Craig Heimbichner, Blood on the Altar, Couer d'Alene, Idaho: Independent History & Research, 2005, esp. pp. 63-76. One can also usefully consult Arthur Waite’s Devil Worship in France. For more, see: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

N42 The Book of Revelation refers to “the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan,” (20:2; cf. 12:9).
N43 Jay Weidner is prepared to put quite a lot of weight on a certain dragon, viz., draco. “The earth's axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees away from the ecliptic. This tilt causes the celestial pole above our planetary pole to describe a great circle in the sky over long periods of time. For example, in 4500 B.C.E., Thuban, a star in the tail of Draco, marked the North Celestial Pole, which has, over time, shifted to Polaris. The ecliptic pole, however, does not change, since the path of the sun through the sky never changes. Around this point, which has no star visible to the naked eye to mark it, is the constellation Draco, the Great Dragon, which spiral through all of the zodiacal signs. The stars appear to hang, talah, from it. Draco thereby becomes the Teli..., which the Sefer Yetzirah (6:3) tells us, is over the universe 'like a king on his throne.' ...This serpent is also the serpent of the Garden climbing its way up the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the brazen serpent used by Moses to heal the plagues in the wilderness, and even Hermes' caduceus staff. The gnostic Ophites, who worshiped the serpent in the Garden of Eden for giving us the gift og knowledge that provided an escape from the Demiurge, formulated the image of a snake spiraling around an egg.
“...The titles used in Genesis, 'God Most High, Lord of Heaven and creator of the earth,' are the same titles used for Baal. They are also the same as the ancient Canaanite name for the Pole Serpent [Job 26:13], the Teli... It is important to understand that all of these mythologies are essentially astronomical. The Teli in Draco is the Constellation that rules over all of the signs and therefore the ages and the worlds, the past and the future. The Islamic creator Allah is simply the Arabic version of [the] Canaanite El. The name Baal, or Ba-el, is literally translated as 'the Space-Filling God.' Allah is also called 'He who holds the stars in place.' This God Most High can only be the constellation of Draco. Not only does Draco fill all the signs of the zodiac, but it also sits atop the Cube of Space very much like a king on his throne.” Jay Weidner, Vincent Bridges, The Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye: Alchemy and the End of Time, Rochester, Vermont: Destiny Books, 2003, pp. 94-94 & 102-103.
N44 This ambiguity between the dragon's function as protector or as an agent of evil has an apparent point of contact with the French proverb, Honi soit qui mal y pense – literally, “Evil be to him who evil thinks”, <http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Evil+be+to+him+who+evil+thinks>. The gist of this “curse against those who wish you harm” is given as with the words “[m]ay bad things happen to anyone who thinks evil things”, ibid. In any case, this French phrase seems a curious thing to locate on British royal arms, not to mention to find serving as the motto for the ancient knighthood Order of the Garter! <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honi_soit_qui_mal_y_pense>.

N69 Jim Brandon reflects: “It was while I was living in Florida and finishing Weird America (published 1978) that Shelby Downard loaded up his Airstream and headed west. He had become increasingly enthralled by the Havasu oddities, ‘in the middle of nowhere,’ as he put it and decided that he would have to go to there for first-hand research.
“For my part, I was equally taken with his discovery that there is, of all things, a Temple Bar at a certain distance due north of London Bridge on the Colorado River leading into Lake Mead. This in turn started me investigating the Colorado channel and feeding into it the quite portentous San Juan River. This has been a ‘high-strangeness’ site of paranormal phenomena going back over a century, and perhaps longer in Amerindian lore.
“Western writer Louis L’Amour, an old hand in the area, wrote one of his most mystical novels, The Haunted Mesa, exploring the possibilities of inner-earth travel, shape shifting and inter-dimensional phenomena for which this unusual area might have a special propensity. For my part, I will next be exploring the possibility that the famed Four Corners where Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico come together, may have been an intentional crypto-symbolical construct, at the highest levels, a Grand Cross as sometimes used in ritual magic, intended to in effect hold down this otherwise too-lively area. Bizarro? Sure, but only a tad stranger than the number Uncle Sam originally assigned to the highway heading south out of here: 666.”

N93 Testimony of Count George Louis Albert de Rantzow, quoted by Patai, op. cit., p. 460. Of course, there also seem to be legitimate questions about Benjamin Franklin, who resided in Westminister, just west of the Square Mile, who very well might have been entangled in ritual murder (along with fellow Royal Society member William Hewson). For example, “...the remains of ten bodies hidden beneath the former London home of Benjamin Franklin...four adults and six children were discovered during the ...restoration of Franklin's home at 36 Craven Street, close to Trafalgar Square. ...Most of the bones show signs of having been dissected, sawn or cut. One skull has been drilled with several holes. Paul Knapman, the Westminster coroner, said yesterday: 'I cannot totally discount the possibility of a crime. …'... Evangeline Hunter-Jones, deputy chairman of the Friends of Benjamin Franklin House, the charity concerned with restoring the property and opening it to the public, said: 'The bones were quite deeply buried, probably to hide them because grave robbing was illegal. There could be more buried, and there probably are.' ...Regular visitors during Franklin's residency included Pitt the Elder (the Earl of Chatham), Edmund Burke, James Boswell, Adam Smith and Thomas Paine, the author of The Rights of Man.” Robin Young, “Remains of ten bodies at Ben Franklin's home,” The Times (London), February 11, 1998. Franklin even had allegations leveled against him in America. See, e.g., Michael A. Hoffman II, “Freemasonry in Early America and the Anti-Masonic Opposition,” audio recording, 1999. Finally, so as not to neglect our numerological angle, researcher Richard Deacon reports that: "...the Honorable Mr. Franklin was referred to in dispatches of the British Secret service during the Revolution as 'Number 72'," "Famous British Historian Claims Benjamin Franklin Was A British Spy," Argosy, July 1970, <http://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/fc/deacononfranklin.html>; cf.

Freemasonry, broadly construed, has a underlying motif of ritual murder.

(“Light shines into darkness , but the darkness comprehends not”) ( "Свет сияет во тьму, но тьма не объемлет")
~ Aurora Consurgens , Pseudo-Aquinas N1 ~ Aurora Consurgens, Псевдо-Аквинский N1

With the opening in theaters May 16 of the new sci-fi action flick, Star Trek Into Darkness (hereinafter “ Into Darkness ”), it won't only be Trekkies paying rapt attention. С открытием в кинотеатрах 16 мая нового научно-фантастического действия Флик, Звездный путь во тьму (далее "Into Darkness"), это будет не только Trekkies обращая пристальное внимание. Into Darkness has already drawn the attention of the synchro-mystic guru, Loren Coleman, who notes that the film contributes to the bombed-city cultural leitmotif that is au courant . N2 Возмездие уже привлек к себе внимание синхронизатора мистического гуру, Лорен Коулман, который отмечает , что фильм способствует бомбардировке города-культурной лейтмотив , который Au Courant. N2

Even a cursory glance at the plot summary on Wikipedia indicates that the movie appears to bristle with occult references. N3 Besides the “Pike” surname, familiar to the Star Trek franchise generally, and evocative of the Freemasonic magus Albert Pike, this latest deep-space excursion includes notable mentions for such curious proper nouns as “Nibiru” (alias for the so-called earth-destroying “Planet X” aka “Marduk”) and

the time-obsessed “Kronos” (about which we will have more to say later). Даже беглый взгляд на краткий сюжет в Википедии указывает на то, что фильм , как представляется , щетина с оккультными ссылок. N3 К тому же фамилия "Щука", знакомый франшизы Star Trek в целом, и вызывающий воспоминания франкмасонского маге Альберт Пайк, эта последняя глубоководного космическая экскурсия включает в себя примечателен упоминает для таких любопытных имен собственных, как "Нибиру" (псевдоним для так называемой земли, разрушающих "Планета X" также известный как "Мардук") и время-одержимы "Кронос" (о которой мы будем иметь больше сказать позже). It is sure to keep name-analyzing onomatologists quite busy. Это обязательно держать имя-анализирующие onomatologists очень занят.

Students of numerology can scarcely feel left out, however, as the movie appears to have not a little of interest numerically as well. Студенты нумерологии едва чувствуют себя лишенными, однако, как фильм, похоже, не мало интереса численно, а также. Hermetic researcher Jay Weidner N4 might take notice of the reference to a distance “237,000 km” from earth. N5 A numerically significant 300 year artificially-induced sleep apparently figures into the plot. N6 There are even honorable mentions for the perennial 23 and 11 (eg, the coordinates 23.17.46.11). N7 The 46 is also of interest, since it is the atomic number for the chemical element of palladium – a word which will crop up further on. Герметичный исследователь Джей Вайднер N4 может обратить внимание на ссылки на расстоянии "237,000 км" от земли. N5 с числовым значимым 300 году искусственно индуцированный сон , по- видимому фигурирует в сюжет. N6 Есть даже поощрительные для многолетних 23 и 11 ( . например, координаты 23.17.46.11) N7 46 также представляет интерес, так как атомный номер для химического элемента палладия - слово , которое будет возникать в дальнейшем.

Perhaps most importantly though, from the standpoint of the plot, is the recurring mention of the number 72. In the words of the Wikipedia summary, there are “72 long-range prototype photon torpedoes” that are really “cryogenic pods with Harrison's N8 72 colleagues hidden inside”. Может быть , самое главное , хотя, с точки зрения сюжета, является повторяющееся упоминание числа 72. В словах резюме Википедии, "Есть 72 дальнобойные прототип фотонные торпеды", которые на самом деле "криогенные стручки с Харрисона N8 72 коллеги скрыты внутри ".

Now 72 is quite an interesting number to have numerological pride of place. Сейчас 72 довольно интересное число, чтобы иметь нумерологическую почетное место. In Kabbalah, the Hebrew Shemhamphorasch (or Shem ha-Mephorash , “the explicit name”) is variously described as “a 72-letter name for God...[God's] full and proper name” or as “72 names of God in the Hebrew tongue.” N9 Other sources N10 give the Shemhamphorasch as an enumeration of the names of 72 angels (or demons). N11 В Каббале, еврейском шемхамфораш (или Сима ха-Mephorash, "явное имя") описывается по- разному , как "имя 72 букв для Бога ... полное и правильное имя [Бога]" или "72 имен Бога в язык иврит. " N9 Другие источники N10 дают шемхамфораш как перечисление имен 72 ангелов (или демонов). N11

These Kabbalistic notions are close cousins with the Islamic notion of “72 Virgins ( houri ) in Paradise.” Additionally: “In Islam, 72 is the number of sects or denominations that are doomed to Hell, according to Hadith (Sayings of prophet Muhammad).” N12 Эти каббалистические понятия близкие родственники с исламским понятием Дополнительно "72 дев (Ури) в Раю.": "В исламе, 72 число сект или деноминаций, которые обречены на ад, согласно хадисам (Изречения пророка Мухаммада) . " N12

72 is a heavily symbolically-implicated number, it seems. N13 Even a cursory glance at Wikipedia's article on “72,” will reveal many curious connexions. N14 72 является в значительной степени символически замешан число, то оно кажется. N13 Даже беглый взгляд на статью Википедии о "72," покажет много любопытных Connexions. N14

The City of London “Square Mile” Лондонский Сити "Square Mile"

Students of high finance, international wire-pulling organizations and even Freemasonry will be watching to see what develops from a terror attack scenario apparently based in the City of London. Студенты высоких финансов, международных организаций, проволочных-вытягивать и даже масонства будет наблюдать за тем, что развивается из сценария атаки террора, по-видимому, базирующейся в лондонском Сити. Known as “the Square Mile,” this small enclave is totally distinct from greater London and has been described as the richest tract of land on earth. N15 Известный как "Квадратная миля" , этот небольшой анклав полностью отличается от большей Лондона и был описан как самый богатый участок земли на земле. N15

At the same time as heavy influence over world monetary affairs is wielded from the City, what is much less well-known is that control over the entire international structure of time and space is arguably based nearby under control of the same cryptic power organism. В то же время, как тяжелое влияние на мировых денежных делах орудовал от города, что значительно меньше, хорошо известно, что контроль над всей международной структуры пространства и времени, возможно, базируется поблизости под контролем того же загадочного питания организма.

The Tower of London (top), built on an ancient hill-fort, as Francis Dashwood would later so build his Hell Fire Club headquarters at Wycombe, N16 has been the subject of numerous cinematic productions.

For we can now disclose that the Prime Meridian of longitude at Greenwich was established by high adepts of alchemy and occult orders starting from the chief medieval monument in England, the legendary Tower of London. Для теперь мы можем раскрыть , что премьер - меридиан в Гринвиче была создана высокими адептов алхимии и оккультным заказов , начиная от главного средневекового памятника в Англии, легендарный Лондонский Тауэр. The meridian, of course, anchors not only longitude and latitude, which back up the legal description of every piece of property in the developed world. Меридиан, конечно же , не только якоря долготы и широты, что резервное копирование юридическое описание каждой части собственности в развитых странах мира. It also forms the basis point for what is now known as the Universal Time System (formerly Greenwich Mean Time ). Он также формирует основу точку для того , что теперь известно как система всемирного времени (ранее время по Гринвичу).

Moreover, latest developments in time-measurement technologies based in the US have carried the Greenwich-based operation forward into new orders of magnitude with the Global Positioning System (GPS) extending the secret domination to outer space. Более того, последние разработки в области временных измерений технологий , базирующихся в США провели операцию по Гринвичу на основе вперед на новые порядки с системой глобального позиционирования (GPS) , простирающейся секретное господство в космическом пространстве. (We hope to demonstrate these latter flourishes in a further installment.) (Мы надеемся , чтобы продемонстрировать эти последние завитушки в дальнейшем партии.)

Alleged 7/7 attacker, Khan (top); Предполагаемая 7/7 взломщик, Хан (вверху); Star Trek's villain, Khan (bottom). Злодей Звездный путь, Хан (внизу).

The spectre of a successful terror attack against London is not merely the province of science fiction. Призрак успешного теракта против Лондона это не просто область научной фантастики. Readers will recall the 7/7 Terror Attack of July 7, 2005 targeting three underground trains and one bus. Читатели помнят о 7/7 теракте от 7 июля 2005 года таргетирования три поезда метро и один автобус. One of the persons fingered for this bombing was Mohammad Sidique Khan. N17 It turns out that “Khan” is also the true identity of the antagonist in Into Darkness . Один из людей , потрогал за этой бомбардировки был Мохаммад Сидик Хан. N17 Оказывается, что "Хан" также истинная идентичность антагониста в Into Darkness.

As we write this, the news media are preoccupied with a fresh terror attack – the “First...since 7/7...”. N18 Specifically occurring in the London district of Woolwich, this brings in Greenwich (since “Woolwich... is... located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich...”), N19 a locale that we will take up in detail in a subsequent post. Как мы пишем это, средства массовой информации заняты свежим теракте -. «Первый ... так как 7/7 ..." N18 В частности , происходящие в лондонском районе Вулвиче, это приносит в Гринвиче (так как "Вулвиче. .. есть ... находится в королевском районе Гринвич ... "), N19 языковой стандарт , который мы будем принимать в деталях в последующем сообщении. Here we will simply note that not only did the attack occur in the mystically-significant Greenwich-area, but the victim, a twenty-five year old British soldier named Lee Rigby, N20 was, at the time of his murder, “...assist[ing] with duties at Regimental Headquarters in the Tower of London .” N21 Здесь мы просто отметим , что не только нападение происходит в мистически-значительном Гринвич-области, но жертва, двадцать пять - летний британский солдат по имени Ли Ригби, N20 был, в то время его убийства, ".. .assist [ я ] с обязанностями в штаб - квартире Полковых в лондонском Тауэре. " N21

London is a city that has numerous mystical places, some of which supposedly serve as talismanic protections. Лондон это город , который имеет многочисленные мистические места, некоторые из которых якобы служат в качестве талисманов защиты. These attacks invite the question, Has one (or more) of the City's protective charms failed? Эти атаки приглашают на вопрос, имеет один (или более) оберегов города не удалось?

The Elizabethan magus, John Dee, devised a key cipher - the “Monad” – that he published in his book, Monas Hieroglyphica (1564). Елизаветинская магус, Джон Ди, разработал ключ шифра - "Монада" - что он опубликовал в своей книге, Monas Hieroglyphica (1564).

Brân finds himself embroiled in a conflict concerning the marriage of his sister. Бран оказывается втянутым в конфликт по поводу брака его сестры. Fighting ensues, during the course of which Brân is mortally wounded. Борьба вытекает, во время которого отруби смертельно ранен. He then instructs his remaining comrades: Затем он инструктирует своих оставшихся товарищей:

“[T]ake you my head...and bear it even unto the White Mount, in London, and bury it there with the face towards France.” N29 "[T] Аке вам мою голову ... и нести его даже до Белой горы, в Лондоне, и похоронить его там с лицом к Франции." N29

In fact, there was an interim period between Brân's ritual beheading and the burial of the head under “the White Mount” – “...as the Tower is known in Welsh lore.” (Note: The “White Tower” is the keep of, and oldest structure in, the complex known as “The Tower of London.”) During this intermediate period, Brân's followers “...live for eighty years without perceiving the passing of time.” It can be truly said, however, that the “time-machine” Tower-site was a mystical place of power well before the Norman invader, William the conqueror, put Bishop Gundulf up to the task (in AD 1078) of constructing what it now called the “White Tower.” N30 На самом деле, был промежуточный период между ритуального обезглавливания отрубей и захоронении головы под "Белой горы" - (Обратите внимание , "... как башня известна в валлийском знания.": The "Белая башня" является сторожевая из, и самая старая структура, комплекс , известный как "Лондонский Тауэр" . ) в течение этого промежуточного периода, последователи Брана "... жить в течение восьмидесяти лет , не воспринимая течение времени." Это может быть по- настоящему сказать, однако, что "машина времени" Башня-сайт был мистическое место силы задолго до захватчика Норман, Вильгельм завоеватель, положил епископ Gundulf до задачи (в AD 1078) построения того, что теперь называется "Белая башня" .

Somewhat parenthetically we note that the interval between decapitation and interment was “fourscore and seven years...” – the same length as that interval between the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 and Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address in 1863. N31 Несколько скобках отметим , что интервал между обезглавливание и погребение было "восемьдесят семь лет ..." - такой же длины , как этот интервал между американской Декларации независимости в 1776 году и известного Геттисберге адрес Авраама Линкольна в 1863.

Temple Bar , the 17th-century architectural creation of the one-time Freemasonic Grand Master, Christopher Wren, traditionally served as one of the main regulated gateways into the City of London. Temple Bar, 17-го века архитектурное творение единовременного масонского Великого Мастера, Кристофера Рена, традиционно служил в качестве одного из основных регулируемых шлюзов в лондонском Сити. “Its name is derived from its vicinity to the Temple Church, the former English Headquarters of the Knights Templar, subsequently the place where the guilds of lawyers were organised into what would become the Inns of Court.” N53 Baigent and Leigh comment that “' Barram Novi Templi ', or Temple bar, where Fleet Street meets the Strand, was the gate opening into the [Templar] Order's precincts.” N54 "Его название происходит от его близости к Храмовой церкви, бывших английских штаб - квартире тамплиеров, впоследствии место , где гильдий юристов были организованы в то , что стало бы Инны суда."

The City of London is presided over by the Lord Mayor. Лондонский Сити председательствует лорд - мэр. In bygone times, before entering the city, the English sovereign would stop at the Temple Bar gate and engage in a sort of ritual with the Lord Mayor. В былые времена, перед входом в город, английский государь остановится в Temple Bar ворот и участвовать в своего рода ритуал с лорд - мэром. “The ceremony is still carried out today on major state occasions when the Queen halts at the Temple Bar to request permission to enter the City of London and if offered the Lord Mayor's Sword of State as a sign of loyalty.” N60 "Церемония по - прежнему осуществляется сегодня на крупных государственных случаях , когда королева останавливается в Temple Bar , чтобы запросить разрешение на въезд в город Лондон , и если предложил Меч лорда - мэра государства в знак верности."

Каждый ищет его мистический центр не мог сделать не хуже , чем заглянуть Лондонский камень, переехал из своего первоначального местоположения до установки в стене заграничного-китайской Banking Corporation на 111 Cannon Street, ЕС4.

“The stone is said to have been laid, 1,000 years before the Roman invasion, by Brutus the Trojan, the mythical founder of London, who sailed up the Thames and fought the giants Gog and Magog. "Камень , как говорят, был заложен, 1000 лет до вторжения римлян, Брут Троянской, мифического основателя Лондона, который плавал вверх по Темзе и боролись гиганты Гог и Магог. On the Stone is the inscription: 'So long as the stone of Brutus is safe, so long shall London flourish.' На камне надпись: «До тех пор , как камень Брута является безопасным, так долго будет процветать Лондон. The stone could be the altar from a temple on Ludgate Hill, the site of St Paul's, or from a stone circle. Камень может быть алтарь из храма на Ладгейт холме, на месте Святого Павла, или из каменного круга. Or it could be connected to a ley line in turn connected to the ancient London river, the Walbrook. Или это может быть подключен к линии в лея свою очередь соединен с древней реки Лондон, Уолбрук. Or it could be, as it states on its plaque, a fragment of the original limestone once in the ground in front of Cannon Street station, and connected to a former London mayor.” N71 Или это может быть, как говорится на его бляшки, фрагмент исходного известняка однажды в земле перед станцией Кэннон - стрит, и связан с бывшим мэром Лондона.

Note: The broader London area has more oddities than can be rehearsed, presently. Примечание: Более широкая область London имеет больше странностей, чем может быть репетировали, на данный момент. For just one example, we would have to mention the so-called “Cleopatra's Needle” Egyptian obelisk at Victoria Embankment on the Thames, N72 and many other strange objects and places – like “Hawksmoor's Pentagram.” N73 (Incidentally, the London obelisk is one of four – two pairs of twins.) Для всего лишь одного примера, мы должны упомянуть так называемую "Игла Клеопатры" египетский обелиск на набережной Виктории на Темзе, N72 и многих других странных объектов и мест - ". Пентаграмме Хоксмур" Like N73 (кстати, Лондон обелиск один из четырех - две пары близнецов).

However, enchanted thingamajigs are not the only entities worthy of our notice. Тем не менее, заколдованные thingamajigs не являются единственными лицами , достойными нашего уведомления. London has also had its share of magically-charged persons. Лондон также имел свою долю магически заряженных лиц.

Although not widely known, arguably the most important of these personalities is Hayyim Samuel Jacob Falk (1708–1782), otherwise known as the Baal Shem (“Lord of the Name”) of London. Хотя это и не широко известна, пожалуй, самый важный из этих личностей Хаим Самуил Иакова Фальк (1708-1782), иначе известный как Баал Шема ( "Властелин Имени") в Лондоне. The reader will recall our earlier mention of the Shem Hamphorasch (“the ineffable name”), in conjunction with the discussion of the number 72. Note that this is the selfsame "shem" of which Falk was a reputed master. Читатель помнит наше более раннее упоминание о Шем Hamphorasch ( "невыразимое имя"), в связи с обсуждением номер 72. Обратите внимание , что это тот же самый "шем" , о котором Фальк был известный мастер.

Falk was an Eastern European Kabbalist and alchemist who not only has allegedly served as a protection for London, N74 but also has as good a claim as any to having been one of the superiores incogniti (“unknown superiors”) that the Baron Karl Gotthelf von Hund N75 highlights as constituting the upper echelon of his Rite of Strict Observance and, indeed, of Freemasonry more generally. N76 Фальк был европейский каббалистом и алхимик Восточной , который не только якобы служил в качестве защиты для Лондона, N74 , но и имеет такой же хороший претензии как любые будучи одним из Superiores incogniti ( "Высших Неизвестных") , что барон Карл Gotthelf фон Пёс N75 выдвигает на первый план как составляющие верхний эшелон его обряд строгого и, по сути, масонства в более общем плане .

Recollecting London's immense financial clout, we also observe that "Falk's principal friends were the London bankers Aaron Goldsmid and his son." N81 Вспомнив огромного финансового влияния Лондона, мы также видим , что «главные друзья Фалька были лондонские банкиры Аарон Голдсмид и его сын." N81

Earlier this year, NBC reported that: “For the first time, the hairstyle of the Roman vestal virgins Ранее в этом году, сообщает NBC , что: "В первый раз, прическа римских весталок
has been re-created on a modern head.” N82 был воссоздан на современной голове. " N82

Falk was regarded as a alchemist for such feats as being able to produce gold and create so-called “ever-burning lamps,” N83 which lamps Manly Hall associates with “the 'virgin lamps'...carried by the Vestal Virgins” (the moon-worshipping guardians of “the sacred fire of Vesta”). N84 The Vestal Virgins presided over lunar ceremonies and the manifestations of the triple-goddess (since the three-phased moon was believed to be the controller of menstruation). N85 Moon magic N86 variously involved human sacrifice or the sacrifice of “mannikin” proxies. N87 Фальк был расценен как алхимик для таких подвигов , как возможность производить золото и создавать так называемые "Неостывающий лампы," N83 , которые лампы окружающих Мэнли Холла с " 'целинных ламп' ... перевезенных весталок" ( Луна-поклонение хранители "священного огня Весты»).

Giuseppe Balsamo, aka “Cagliostro” (top). Джузеппе Бальзамо, известный как "Калиостро" (вверху).
Christopher Walken portraying Count Alessandro Cagliostro (bottom) Кристофер Уокен изображая граф Алессандро Калиостро (внизу)
from the 2001 film, The Affair of the Necklace . из фильма 2001 года, дело в ожерелье.

It is alleged that “[t]he Rabbi Jacob Falk taught sex magic to the notorious Cagliostro.” N88 This is unsurprising, really, both since the misleadingly named “Vestal Virgins” were, “[i]n many places”, none other than “sacred harlots” practicing magia sexualis, N89 and since streams of kabbalism, most obviously in Frankism (the system instituted by Jacob Frank), are infused both with sex magic and moon worship (eg, in the “Kiddush Levanah” rite). N90 It seems that London is dracontic in multiple senses. N91 Утверждается , что "[т] Раввин Яков Фальк учил сексуальной магии печально известной Калиостро." N88 Это не удивительно, на самом деле, как так как обманчиво названные "девственных весталок" были "[ в ] много мест", никто другой чем «священных блудниц» , исповедующих MAGIA Sexualis, N89 и так как потоки каббализма, наиболее очевидно в Frankism (система , возбужденному Якоба Франка), пронизаны как с сексуальной магии и поклонения луне (например, в обряде "благословение луны"). N90 кажется , что Лондон драконический в нескольких смыслах. N91

Falk's darker (perhaps black-magical) shenanigans are hinted at in accounts referring to his “kabbalistic devilry.” N92 The depth of this depravity is unclear, but besides the supposed sexual rituals, Falk has also been implicated in the mysterious death of the unnamed “...valet of the Comte de Westerloh [who] had his neck broken...when he [Falk] performed his famous sacrifice of the black calf in the garden of the Comte, in the presence of the Duc de Richelieu.” N93 Темнее Фалька (возможно черно-магические) махинации намекают на на счетах , относящихся к его "каббалистической чертовщины." N92 Глубина этой испорченности неясно, но , кроме предполагаемых сексуальных ритуалов, Фальк также был замешан в загадочной смерти неназванного "... камердинер графа де Westerloh [который] был его шея сломана ... когда он [Фальк] выполнил свою знаменитую жертву черного теленка в саду Конт, в присутствии герцога де Ришелье."

Residing in Wellclose Square, N94 just east of the Tower, Falk was neighbors with the Swedish mystic and possible spy, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 – 1772). Проживающий в Wellclose площади, N94 только к востоку от башни, Фальк был соседствует с Шведским мистика и возможного шпиона, Эмануэль Сведенборг (1688 - 1772). “...Swedenborg sought out Jewish Kabbalists in the East End, and he soon came under the spell of Dr. Samuel Jacob Falk...”. N95 "... Сведенборг искал еврейские каббалисты в Ист - Энде, и вскоре он попал под чары доктора Самуэля Jacob Фалька ...". N95

(Nearby, apparently, is the grave of a Cohen whose grave stone, as the photographer describes it, displays “...hands making the sign of the priestly blessing [live long and prosper as Mr Spock would say!].” See it HERE .) (Рядом, по-видимому, является могила Коэна, чей могильный камень, так как фотограф описывает его, отображает "... руки осеняя священнического благословения [жить долго и процветать, как сказал бы мистер Спок!]." Посмотри ЗДЕСЬ .)

Finally, we must mention the satanist and occultist, Aleister Crowley. Наконец, мы должны упомянуть сатанистом и оккультист Алистер Кроули. Fresh from Cambridge, and having just joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Crowley lived for a time at #67 Chancery Lane, N96 which today lies on the western edge of the Square Mile. N97 Crowley desired a more magickally-charged location, however (with “...a door facing north, the best direction in which to create a spell” N98 ), and soon abandoned his flat in the City of London and moved into his more famous residence, Boleskine House, on the shore of supposedly monster-inhabited Loch Ness in northern Scotland. Свежий из Кембриджа, и только что присоединился Герметический Орден Золотой Зари, Кроули жил некоторое время на # 67 Chancery Lane, N96 , который сегодня находится на западном краю квадратную милю. N97 Кроули желаемому более магически заряженную местоположение, однако (с "... дверь с видом на север, лучшее направление , в котором нужно создать заклинание" N98 ), и вскоре отказался от своей квартиры в лондонском Сити и переехала в его более известного места жительства, Болескина Дом, на берегу якобы монстра заселена Лох - Несс в северной Шотландии.

Rehearsing even highlights from Crowley's long career is well beyond our present scope. Репетиция даже основные моменты из долгой карьеры Кроули находится далеко за пределами нашего нынешнего объема. However, we invite the interested reader to (re-)visit the earlier post, HERE. Тем не менее, мы приглашаем заинтересованного читателя к (ре) посещают более раннюю почту, ЗДЕСЬ.

Also, stay tuned for our follow up post on Greenwich: In the meantime. Кроме того , следите за нашей последующей деятельности сообщению Гринвич: В то же время. We will not only dive deeper into the mystical toponomy (as James Shelby Downard would say) of England, but we will have an opportunity once again to mention “The Beast – 666,” Aleister Crowley. Мы не только погружение глубже в мистическом топонимики (как Джеймс Шелби Downard бы сказал) Англии, но у нас будет возможность еще раз упомянуть "The Beast - 666," Алистера Кроули.

The other stages are usually enumerated as Albedo ('whitening') and Rubedo ('reddening'), although the third stage may be subdivided into Citrinitas (or Xanthosis ) and Iosis . These three stages occur numerous 'operations', which are sometimes listed as follows : calcination, dissolution, separation, conjunction, putrefaction, congelation, cibation, sublimation, fermentation, exaltation, multiplication, and projection.

N33 There is also supposed to have been an ultra-secret “Palladian” rite at the summit of Freemasonry. In fin de siecle Europe, Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès, writing under the name “Leo Taxil,” made explosive allegations regarding the existence of a Satanic, sex-obsessed group of high-level operators. This group included the Scottish Rite magus, Albert Pike, Adriano Lemmi (former Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy), as well as a shadowy female named “Diana Vaughan” – said to have been a “...descendant of the Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan”, “Taxil hoax,” Wikipedia , May 3, 2013, < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxil_hoax >. Domenico Margiotta, allegedly an ex-grand master Mason-type who claimed such grandiose affiliations as those with the Lodge Savonarola in Florence and the Lodge Giordano Bruno in Palmi, to some extent defended (or seemed to) Taxil's contentions. After several plot twists and turns, Taxil ostensibly recanted his early statements. However, there are several reasons why this supposed reversal constitutes a less-than-satisfactory resolution to the question of an upper-echelon, overtly sexual-Satanic cluster of “Masonic” initiates. For a summary of these reasons, and much else besides, see: Craig Heimbichner, Blood on the Altar , Couer d'Alene, Idaho: Independent History & Research, 2005, esp. pp. 63-76.

N42 The Book of Revelation refers to “the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan,” (20:2; cf. 12:9).
N43 Jay Weidner is prepared to put quite a lot of weight on a certain dragon, viz., draco . “The earth's axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees away from the ecliptic. This tilt causes the celestial pole above our planetary pole to describe a great circle in the sky over long periods of time. For example, in 4500 BCE, Thuban, a star in the tail of Draco, marked the North Celestial Pole, which has, over time, shifted to Polaris. The ecliptic pole, however, does not change, since the path of the sun through the sky never changes. Around this point, which has no star visible to the naked eye to mark it, is the constellation Draco, the Great Dragon, which spiral through all of the zodiacal signs. The stars appear to hang, talah , from it. Draco thereby becomes the Teli ..., which the Sefer Yetzirah (6:3) tells us, is over the universe 'like a king on his throne.' ...This serpent is also the serpent of the Garden climbing its way up the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the brazen serpent used by Moses to heal the plagues in the wilderness, and even Hermes' caduceus staff. The gnostic Ophites, who worshiped the serpent in the Garden of Eden for giving us the gift og knowledge that provided an escape from the Demiurge , formulated the image of a snake spiraling around an egg.
“...The titles used in Genesis, 'God Most High, Lord of Heaven and creator of the earth,' are the same titles used for Baal. They are also the same as the ancient Canaanite name for the Pole Serpent [Job 26:13], the Teli ... It is important to understand that all of these mythologies are essentially astronomical. The Teli in Draco is the Constellation that rules over all of the signs and therefore the ages and the worlds, the past and the future. The Islamic creator Allah is simply the Arabic version of [the] Canaanite El . The name Baal , or Ba-el , is literally translated as 'the Space-Filling God.' Allah is also called 'He who holds the stars in place.' This God Most High can only be the constellation of Draco. Not only does Draco fill all the signs of the zodiac, but it also sits atop the Cube of Space very much like a king on his throne.” Jay Weidner, Vincent Bridges, The Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye: Alchemy and the End of Time , Rochester, Vermont: Destiny Books, 2003, pp. 94-94 & 102-103.
N44 This ambiguity between the dragon's function as protector or as an agent of evil has an apparent point of contact with the French proverb, Honi soit qui mal y pense – literally, “Evil be to him who evil thinks”, < http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Evil+be+to+him+who+evil+thinks >. The gist of this “curse against those who wish you harm” is given as with the words “[m]ay bad things happen to anyone who thinks evil things”, ibid . In any case, this French phrase seems a curious thing to locate on British royal arms, not to mention to find serving as the motto for the ancient knighthood Order of the Garter! < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honi_soit_qui_mal_y_pense >.

N69 Jim Brandon reflects: “It was while I was living in Florida and finishing Weird America (published 1978) that Shelby Downard loaded up his Airstream and headed west. He had become increasingly enthralled by the Havasu oddities, 'in the middle of nowhere,' as he put it and decided that he would have to go to there for first-hand research.
“For my part, I was equally taken with his discovery that there is, of all things, a Temple Bar at a certain distance due north of London Bridge on the Colorado River leading into Lake Mead. This in turn started me investigating the Colorado channel and feeding into it the quite portentous San Juan River. This has been a 'high-strangeness' site of paranormal phenomena going back over a century, and perhaps longer in Amerindian lore.
“Western writer Louis L'Amour, an old hand in the area, wrote one of his most mystical novels, The Haunted Mesa , exploring the possibilities of inner-earth travel, shape shifting and inter-dimensional phenomena for which this unusual area might have a special propensity. For my part, I will next be exploring the possibility that the famed Four Corners where Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico come together, may have been an intentional crypto-symbolical construct, at the highest levels, a Grand Cross as sometimes used in ritual magic, intended to in effect hold down this otherwise too-lively area. Bizarro? Sure, but only a tad stranger than the number Uncle Sam originally assigned to the highway heading south out of here: 666.”

N93 Testimony of Count George Louis Albert de Rantzow, quoted by Patai, op. cit. , p. 460. Of course, there also seem to be legitimate questions about Benjamin Franklin, who resided in Westminister, just west of the Square Mile, who very well might have been entangled in ritual murder (along with fellow Royal Society member William Hewson). For example, “...the remains of ten bodies hidden beneath the former London home of Benjamin Franklin...four adults and six children were discovered during the ...restoration of Franklin's home at 36 Craven Street, close to Trafalgar Square. ...Most of the bones show signs of having been dissected, sawn or cut. One skull has been drilled with several holes. Paul Knapman, the Westminster coroner, said yesterday: 'I cannot totally discount the possibility of a crime. …'... Evangeline Hunter-Jones, deputy chairman of the Friends of Benjamin Franklin House, the charity concerned with restoring the property and opening it to the public, said: 'The bones were quite deeply buried, probably to hide them because grave robbing was illegal. There could be more buried, and there probably are.' ...Regular visitors during Franklin's residency included Pitt the Elder (the Earl of Chatham), Edmund Burke, James Boswell, Adam Smith and Thomas Paine, the author of The Rights of Man.” Robin Young, “Remains of ten bodies at Ben Franklin's home,” The Times (London) , February 11, 1998. Franklin even had allegations leveled against him in America. See, eg, Michael A. Hoffman II, “Freemasonry in Early America and the Anti-Masonic Opposition,” audio recording, 1999. Finally, so as not to neglect our numerological angle, researcher Richard Deacon reports that: "...the Honorable Mr. Franklin was referred to in dispatches of the British Secret service during the Revolution as 'Number 72'," "Famous British Historian Claims Benjamin Franklin Was A British Spy," Argosy , July 1970, < http://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/fc/deacononfranklin.html >; cf.

Freemasonry, broadly construed, has a underlying motif of ritual murder.
