CHAPTER VII.
The Host, a Human Sacrifice
The Monstrance was a conventionalized Assyrian Grove, containing the Host, the male and female emblems, and corresponded with the Ark and was transparent, so that the devotees could look on the blessed symbols and live forever. It was called the Monstrance because it contained the hermaphrodite monster, now or formerly worshipped by the devotees of all religions. The directions of St. Cyril, of Jerusalem, were: “After kissing all the brothers and sisters, you touch the consecrated things to the eyes, nose, mouth and ears.” See Ency. Brit. 8:632.
Under the mediumship of Eugene Vintras in Paris, the Devil placed his signature on the Hosts of the Church in characters of blood. The Abbe Charvoz brought one of the miraculously marked Hosts, bearing the signature of Satan, to Elephas Levi. One of the signatures was the Caduceus of the Greeks, the emblem of the Godhead, two serpents entwined about a rod, but the rod was omitted. Levi calls it the Typhonian sign manual because by omitting the rod, it thus denies the existence of the Supreme God Jehovah. The Devil, in the stigmata, asserts that there are only two gods, the two powers of the astral light, attraction and repulsion, the creator and the destroyer. – Mysteries of Magic.
“In the case of Father Gerard in 1731, who was tried at Aix, in France, for resorting to sorcery in the seduction of his parishioner, Mlle. Catherine Cadiere, it was shown that he breathed upon her, and that she instantly conceived a violent love for him and had extatic visions and hysterical convulsions, and stigmata or blood marks of the Passion appeared upon her, that is, the bleeding marks of thorns on her brow, of nails in her hands and feet, and of a lance cut in her side. Of the twenty five judges, twelve voted to send the priest to the stake.” – Isis Unveiled, 2-633.
The doctrine of transubstantiation, or the myth that the bread and wine become the actual body and blood of God, originated among the Hindus, and we stole it from them. The god Brahma was the astral light or magnetism, and when the priests charged the hosts with magnetism, they were charged with god, and consequently were gods. It is said that each separate part of this blood sacrifice is a Christ, so thousands of Christs were served up at a feast to be eaten by the savage devotees, and each cannibal ate a whole Christ to save his dastard soul. It is called the Host because they knifed him or struck him down, and it is called the Eucharist because they rejoice over his death and make a joyful feast upon the carcass. The Eucharist is one of the oldest rites of antiquity, instituted many hundreds of years before the Lord’s Supper. It was a repetition of the drama in Eden in commemoration of the fall into generation. By the worship of the foul idols in the Monstrance, by the idolatry of the Eucharist the pagans euchred the Devil out of their souls.
The Eucharist was a human sacrifice. The devotees groveling in abject superstition, offered up their Christ on the reeking, blood-stained altar, and ate his flesh and drank his blood to wash their sins away. At the twelfth general council of the Church, the bread and wine was made the flesh and blood of Christ, and at the Council of Trent they added the soul. So at the orgies, the depraved devotee destroyed both the body and soul of his savior by casting him into his carrion carcass, into that charnel house, into that cavernous and loathsome inferno, from which there is no escape, there to rot and disintegrate and forever die. Thus they subjected their savior to the foulest method of annihilation to save their worthless souls from Hell.
At the Passover the Jews sacrificed over 250,000 lambs to propitiate some blood-loving god. The altars and courts of the Temple ran red with the life blood of these innocent creatures. And certain beasts still sing: “And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.” “Such a blood-sacrifice is unworthy of any people except the worshippers of some heathen devil-god in darkest Africa.” – Mystic Christianity, 65.
When Richard, Robert, Sarah and Isabella Bartlett, at Lincoln, England, in 1521, expressed their opinions too freely on religious matters, they were burned at the stake by Bishop John Longland, but they were a pestiferous and seditious lot. They even objected to eating the male emblems, or images of the male, on communion day, and these double-dyed heretics denied the real presence of either Christ or Priapus in the images.
Here is what Taine says as to this affair: “The Bishops had received the right of imprisoning without trial laymen suspected of heresy, and the jurisdiction of all crimes, offenses and sins was given to the ecclesiastical tribunals. They burned Lord Cobham alive. With what shamelessness this power was transformed into a vehicle for extortions. A man begins to think when he is thus downtrodden. He asks himself if it is really by divine dispensation that mitred thieves thus practice tyranny and pillage. He wants to know if they themselves practice the regularity that they impose on others, and he learns strange things. Cardinal Wolsey writes to the Pope that both the secular and regular priests were in the habit of committing atrocious crimes, for which, if not in orders, they would have been promptly executed. A priest convicted of incest with the prioress of Kilbourn was condemned to carry a cross in a procession and pay a fine of 3s and 4p. In the reign of Henry VII the gentlemen and farmers of Carnarvonshire laid a complaint accusing the clergy of systematically seducing their wives and daughters. The Holy Father Prior of Maiden Bradley hath but six children, and but one daughter married yet of the goods of the monastery, trusting shortly to marry the rest. The royal visitors found concubines in the secret apartments of the Abbots. At the nunnery of Sion the confessors seduced the nuns and absolved them at the same time. There were convents, Burnett tells us, where all the recluses were found pregnant.” – Taine’s English Literature, 2-18.
“Bishop Longland, of Lincoln, about 1521, summons the relatives of the accused, brothers, women and children, and administers the oath. As they have already been prosecuted and have abjured, they must make oath, or they are relapsed, and the fagots await them. Then they denounce their kinsmen and themselves. Three of the accused were charged with passing the night together in reading the scriptures. Several of them at church, at the moment of the Elevation would not say their prayers and remained seated dumb as beasts. A brazier denied the real presence. Six were burnt alive. The children of John Scrivener were themselves obliged to set fire to their father’s funeral pyre. They saw him, bound by an iron chain, with clasped hands, praying amidst the smoke, whilst the flame blackened his skin and destroyed his flesh. Such sights are not forgotten.” – Idem.
“At the peril of his life the Englishman obtains some portion of the Bible, which Tyndale had just translated, and hides it and learns it by heart. Tyndale, the translator, was condemned, hunted, in concealment, his mind full of the idea of a speedy death and of the Great God, for whom at last he mounted the funeral pyre.” – Idem, 2-21.
If you do not believe that Priapus is christ, see Ency. Brit. 19-170, where he is represented as the shepherd god with a shepherd’s crook, and as the god of the vineyards and of fishermen, giving them abundant harvests. And sailors, in their sore distress, called upon him as Peter did.
“The Masons, in the darkness, hunt for Hiram Abiff, as the worshippers in the Eleusinian Mysteries hunted for their lost Cora.” In the grand finale the Mystics say: “I have taken the emblems from the kiste, and after kissing and tasting them, I have deposited in the bag, and from the bag back into the kiste.”
In the first illustrated English Bible, the Devil will be seen, wearing a pair of wings and a Hebrew nose, tempting Eve. He says: “Take this fruit, bite it and taste it.” You will see that the thing presented to her is not an apple at all, but the emblem of Ashtoreth. See Sun. Am. Mag. Dec. 20, 1914. You will also find in another illustration there the angel Gabriel, with the Word strapped on his back, descending into Hell to deliver the souls in torment.
Yesterday in passing a great church, when I raised my eyes to the cross, I there beheld on each arm of the cross, the circle, the same revered article that the Devil offered to Eve. This blessed and holy symbol is found engraven over the portals of the eternal rock temples of the ruined city of Petra, Arabia, that flourished in the time of Esau and his son Edom, as well as over the doors of the ancient churches of Ireland, and on the modern cathedrals. In fact this aesthetic Eye worship extends around the world, starting in the slums of India, it has circled the globe.
The Christian religion was copied largely from the Eleusinian Mysteries, which were founded at the city of Eleusis, near Athens. These mysterious rites were employed in the worship of Demeter or Mater, the mother god, or Mary. In these Mysteries the worshippers indulged in the foul orgies of the Agape. The men carried male emblems or Signa Taus, and the females carried the kiste or box. Placing the Signa Tau in the kiste caused them to be born again and saved their souls from Tophet.
CHAPTER VIII.
Jesus Christ
If the clergymen tell you that there is only one christ, politely present them with the seal of Belial. Each of the principal religions had twelve christs. Christ was never crucified, but the human race was crucified by religion from its very inception, and the Christian world wallowed in the Egyptian darkness of ignorance and superstition till in the middle ages, the golden age, no king in Europe could read and write.
Christ is the same as Agni, the sun god of the Aryans, who was called the Son of God and the Son of Man. The god Agni is represented by us by the idol, the Agnus Dei, the Ram God, that holds in his hoof a cross and some banner, perhaps the blood-stained banner of the Inquisition. Adam Kadmon, Enoch, Horus, Krishna, Ormazd, and Hermes, the patron of thieves and flocks, the son of Deus and Maia, these and many other gods are all identical with christ. Noah was the christ that came in the sign of the Waterman 25,868 years ago. In the Babylonian legend the deluge continued seven days, and the ship landed on Mt. Niser. This is a resurrection of the great god Dionysius or Bacchus, and the first thing he did when he got ashore was to get drunk. He is also Jehovah Nissi or the Egyptian god Osiris who was born on Mt. Nissa or Sinai in the month of Nisan or Easter.
Sephir Toldos Jeshu, a Kabalist, says: “A virgin named Mariam, betrothed to one Johannan was outraged by another man named Joseph Panther. Her betrothed left her. The child born was Jesus, named Joshua, adopted by his uncle Rabbi Jehosuah. He was initiated into the secret doctrines by Rabbi Elhanan, a Kabalist, and then by the Egyptian priests, who consecrated him High Pontiff of the Universal Secret Doctrine. Upon his returning to Judea his learning and powers excited the jealousy of the rabbis, and they publicly reproached him with his origin and insulted his mother.”
According to the Pretevangelium Jacobi, “From her third to her twelfth year Mary was in the Temple. When she became of nubile age, lest she should defile the Sanctuary of the Lord, she was committed to the guardianship of Joseph, an elderly man and a widower with a family. When the Virgin’s pregnancy was discovered, Joseph and she were brought before the high priest, and though asserting their innocence in all sincerity, were acquitted only after they had been tried with the water of the ordeal of the Lord.” – Ency. Brit. 15:590. Mary was then a virgin and ever after remained so, although she had other children.
The author does not believe that either of the above passages refers to the Christian Jesus. He is an Egyptian or Hindu deity, not a Jew.
The christs were all illegitimate. Their parents, the sun and moon, would have complied with the idiotic human laws if there had been any magistrate in Heaven to marry them. There was Asphalius of Greece, born of the Virgin Ethra out of wedlock. Then there are Romulus and Remus, alias Castor and Pollux or Gemini, the Twins of the zodiac. They were sons of a Vestal Virgin named Rhea. King Amulius, corresponding with Herod, commanded his servant to destroy the two children, but the servant put them in a trough or ark, and they floated on the river as Moses, who was also a christ, did in his ark, and as the males and females did in Noah’s Ark. Their mother claimed that their father was the god Mars. Unmarried ladies, in those halcyon days, always put their children up to the gods. – See Plutarch, 1:33.
Christ is a mythical sun-god, a rebirth of the sun in a new sign of the zodiac. The Church Fathers, in localizing the Christ in the Holy Land, could claim that any Jesus of that region was the Son of God, either Jesus, the bandit of Galilee, or the one described above, as long as his name corresponded with the I E S of Egypt, and as long as he was dead and could not defend himself. According to Josephus, the Jesus that lived in the reign of King Agrippa and Herod the Tetrarch was Jesus of Galilee, the captain of a band of robbers, a wicked man, a seditious person and an innovator, the leader of a tumult of mariners and poor people. He sacked the temple at Samaria. See Life of Josephus, 5.
Renan says that Philo, who died about 50 A. D., and who was born before Jesus, and who lived in Palestine during the alleged preaching of Christ, had never heard of him. Josephus does not mention a Christian sect at all. The Emperor Adrian called the Christians worshippers of Serapis, and that was probably the truth. Serapis is the Devil, with horns, Lord of the Underworld.
Christna, Apollo, Zeus and others, like Christ, were good shepherds. The Hindus represent Christna as crucified on the cross between two thieves, with the nail marks in his hands, and with a crown of seven points to show that he is the seventh avatar. His father was a carpenter, and he slew the great serpent Caliva and was worshipped in India ages before the Christian Era.
The doctrine of Christ and the atonement originated in heathendom. It came from the pagan sacrificers of human beings and the eaters of human flesh in human gore imbued. They took the doctrine from the Chaldean Kabala. It is a pagan myth. Bacchus or Dionysius was the god of the vine, and his worshippers drank his blood to wash their sins away. He was the son of Deus or Zeus and an earthly mother. He was slain or sacrificed at the winter solstice and went down into Hell. Hera, who corresponds with Herod, sought Bacchus to slay him. He was honored by festivals at Christmas, when the sun died, and at Easter when it was resurrected. His emblems were the bull, the ass and the goat. The Christians of Rome were ridiculed for worshipping an ass-headed god. The symbol of the Bacchic orgies is named Eva or Heva, identical with the serpent raised by the Hebrews in the wilderness. Heva means a female serpent and constitutes a part of god, the second part of the name Yaheva. The first part of that hermaphrodite god is Ya, the male, and the last part is Heva, the female, or serpent, or Devil.
Christ not only never rose from the dead, but he never existed. The doctrine of vicarious atonement is a lie and a farce. The Christian’s hope of escaping Hell by cowardly allowing another to suffer for his sins, has taken wings and flown away.
The Gnostics, one of the earliest Christian sects, formerly called Essenes, claimed that Christ was a phantom, that he was neither born nor suffered on the cross. See Book of All Religions, 213. Origen believed the same. He tells of the popular irrational Christianity based on the fictitious gospel history devised to assist the masses, who could not comprehend a spiritual christ. – Mystic Christianity, 211.
Madam Blavatsky says that this abominable doctrine of the forgiveness of sins is the cause of three fourths of the crimes of so-called Christians. The murdered victim goes to Hell in the midst of his sins, but the murderer receives absolution and goes to Heaven and sits with Christ beside the Golden Throne. The Parsis say: “If any of you commit sin under the belief that he shall be saved by somebody, both the deceiver as well as the deceived shall be damned to the day of Rasla Khaz. There is no savior. In the other world you shall receive the return according to your actions. Your savior is your good deeds.” Plato says in 2-187: “Even if there are gods, they can be bribed by prayers and offerings, so it is better to be unjust and offer of the fruits of injustice to the gods. By our sinning and praying and praying and sinning, the gods will be propitiated, and we shall be forgiven.”
The Jews offered seven lambs at the new moon because the Lamb came seven times. It is to be noted that they gave none of the offering to God except the refuse, the extremities and the fat and the lobe of the liver, but the priests had the breast and the right shoulder. The Lord and the mob were welcome to the offal.
We are saved by the blood of christ or Priapus, but the Jews were saved by the blood of the circumcision of Abraham, who was also a christ. “Abraham was circumcised on the day of the atonement, and God looks that day annually on the blood of the covenant of our father Abraham’s circumcision as atoning for all our iniquities.” – Talmud Yalcut Chadish, fol. 121, sec. 3.
When the young and beautiful philosopher, Hypatia, disclosed these sacred religious secrets in Egypt about 412 A. D., she was torn from her chariot by a Christian mob, dragged to a Christian church, stripped naked and ravished at the very feet of the idol of Christ, and then beaten to death by Peter, the Reader. Her body was cut into pieces, the flesh scraped from the bones with oyster shells, and the remnants cast into the fire by the order of the canonized saint, Bishop Cyril of Alexandria. – Ency. Brit. 12:596.
A Nazar or Nazarene, according to Hosea, was one who had consecrated himself to Bosheth, (a shameful thing, a foul idol.) It was in Nazareth that the Nazarenes anciently held their Witches’ Sabbath. Bosher is the Hebrew name of the Tree of Infamy. The “Sod of the Kadishim,” Psalms, 89:7, is rendered by the translators “Assembly of the Saints,” when it was in truth an orgy of the ladies devoted to the service of the Temple. Sod was the name given to the vile assemblies in the ancient Mysteries in Sodom, and the nature of the sacred ceremonies may be gathered from the name. They were the same as those of the ancient Christian Agape or Love Feast.
It is claimed that Apollonius of Tyana was the original of Christ, for the former was worshipped in Rome in the third century as the savior of man, and that no such person as Jesus Christ was then known. There was a sect that worshipped the Hindu Christos. Their religion was a mixture of Buddhism and Platonism, and their chief symbol was the phallic cross within the circle. The Christian religion takes its name and symbols from this Hindu religion. See Antiquity Unveiled, 98. Lucian says that the Christians spoke of Apollonius, called in Romans Apollos, as a god and took him for a lawgiver, and honored him with the title of Master.
Prior to the sixth Ecumenical Council, 680 A. D., the Christians worshipped an animal idol, the lamb on a cross, but it was found from ancient monuments that the pagans had worshipped the same idol. So the Council decreed that the figure of a man should be placed on the cross, Christ was not nailed to the cross until 680 A. D. and then by the Ecumenical Council. – Idem 161.
The pagan priests, at a very early date in the present era, finding that they were losing their hold on the people, concocted from pagan originals a new religion called the Christian. As a sop to the depraved and besotted worshippers of virgin-born gods, they alleged that their god was born of the Virgin Mary, and they seized upon and falsified the Hindu gospels, containing the life of Buddha, till they were made to appear to apply to the life of Christ. In order to bolster up this foul imposition and conceal the origin of Christianity, they destroyed the records of Grecian, Egyptian and Roman civilization and sank the world in darkness for a thousand years, filling it with woe and bloodshed. The success of this crime against their fellowmen set back the hands of time two thousand years. See Doubts of Infidels.
The doctrine of blood atonement came from Phoenicia, where they continually indulged in human sacrifice. In the event of an eclipse of the sun, the priests burned a man on a cross at the altar of the sun-god to avert the threatened calamity. “From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.” And on these altars, 2600 B. C., was I H S or I E S. As the E or H in Egyptian hieroglyphics is a circle, this sign was originally I O S. I represents the father god, and O the mother god, and S represents the son or serpent. The serpent was crucified on the cross by the Egyptians and Jews as a saving rite.
At the church festival of Tezcatlipoca in Mexico, they chose a prisoner as the incarnate representative of god and placed a garland and an embroidered mantle upon him, as the Jews did on Christ. Then they led him to the temple, where the priest cut his heart out and held the sacred bleeding heart up to the sun, and his body was eaten by the church members, as we eat the body of our Savior.
Rev. Robert Taylor says in his Diegesis: “Not a single passage written in the first century can be produced from any independent authority to show the existence of such a person as Jesus Christ or his disciples.” The silence of all contemporary writers respecting Jesus Christ is a notorious fact. Philo, Seneca, Plutarch, Juvenal, Virgil, Horace, Ovid and Lucian, who lived in that period, make no allusion to his works, nor even mention his name. – Doubts of Infidels, 66.
The christ Prometheus died for the salvation of the world and was nailed on the cross many hundreds of years before the Christian Era. And the christ Esculapius, the Great Physician, healed the sick and raised the dead and died in the West and rose again in the East.
Jonah was a christ or sun-god. The sign of the Goat in the Buddhist zodiac is represented by a leviathan or whale vomiting out the sacred Elephant, or sun, or Son of God. When the sun entered the sign of the Leviathan in December it was swallowed by the whale, but was vomited out again three days later on the 25th of December, when the sun commenced to return. Hence the story of Jonah and the whale, which has been so hard to swallow, and which has taxed our piety to the limit.
Ies is the Phoenician name of the god Bacchus. Ies, or Iesu, or Jesus was stolen from the Phoenicians and Egyptians, and the god Christos was taken from the Hindus and thrown together into the melting pot of Potoman of Alexandria, and out came Jesus Christ. Potoman compiled the Christian religion from Hindu, Greek and Egyptian originals.
If God made man in his own image, why does he have to be redeemed? It is true that man stubbed his toe and fell, but it was because he obeyed the command of God to increase and multiply. The Yogis claim that Christ was not virgin born, but was a virgin spirit split off of God and came to redeem the world. If he redeemed the world, how is it that the people are worse now than they ever were, that the history of his religion has been a history of depravity, vice, crime, murder and carnage, which has now culminated in a world-orgy of savagery, pillage and slaughter, of which the fiends in Hell would be incapable? How is it that the beasts, which have never been redeemed, the doves, the rabbits, the lambs, the deer, are far superior to us who were bought by the blood?
