Religious Symbolism.

This is the Egyptian Tau Cross, the symbol of Apis, the bull, and other male gods: . Here is the male emblem shown as the Masonic square, as found in the ruins of Gaza: . This is the Egyptian K. Ka is the Egyptian name of the male emblem. See “Hieroglyphics”, Ency. Brit. This holy god, in the form of a stone, is stuck in the wall of the Kaaba, the shrine at Mecca, which shrine was built by Abraham, who was fond of chasing after gods with tarnished reputations. This god in Mecca is a meteorite seven inches long, brought down from Heaven by Gabriel, and about 300,000 pilgrims annually kiss this foul, germ-laden god to save their tarnal souls.

And this is the cross ansata of Egypt, , or cross of anx (life), a combination of the cross of the bull and the sacred symbol of Isis. The High Priest of Egypt wore three cross ansatas and three links on his breast-plate, symbols of the trinity. Many of the pagan religions, from which ours descended, used only the main portion of the cross, the shaft or upright, the symbol of Siva, Baal Poer and Jehovah. It is called phalatz in Hebrew, meaning broken. See the broken column of the Masons—A. P. & M. C. Symbolism.

You place the three balls of the pawnbroker or the shamrock of Ireland on top of the shaft, and you have the most archaic form of the cross, before which the devils tremble and fall in a fit. Christian crosses, wreaths, bells, squares, eyes, Asherim and Baalim have been discovered in the ruins of Gaza, in the fourth city that was destroyed about 1600 B. C. The original text of Ezek. 9:4 shows that the sign of Jehovah was the Signa Tau, or the cross of Taurus, the bull, with which the elect were sealed in their foreheads. In the Enchiridion, a prayer book and book of magic credited to Pope Leo III, he says: “By this sign Lord Tau, deliver me.”

The male emblem, or triangle, placed in the circle of Asherah makes the Three in One, the profound and esoteric mystery forever hidden from the profane and vulgar. That is the sacred quartet, those are the idols we worship.

Turn to Siva, Stand. Dic., and you will see that he has stolen all the pious Christian symbols, although he existed for ages before the Christians. In one hand is the circle and in another hand a trident or fleur de lys, a male emblem. Around his neck is a large rosary or stole. Thrusting his male head through this female emblem is a symbol of life and a saving rite. Putting his hand through a rosary is just as effective. We can trace the spotless lineage of our beloved religion back through the dim vistas of time to a very archaic and rotten ancestry.

In both the Christian and pagan symbolism the oval in which the saints and gods do stand is often represented as composed of roses and constitutes a rosary. The horseshoe brings good luck because it is identical with the cave, the arch and the grove and is the sacred emblem of the goddess Mary or Astarte. Both Buddha and Christ are represented as standing in the horseshoe or Royal Arch. I conclude that the Masonic Holy Royal Arch and the oval above the church altar, in which the Virgin stands, represent the Grove that Manasseh set up in the House of the Lord, 2 Kings, 21, and that Josiah burnt at the brook Kidron, 2 Kings, 23:6. The stole, worn by the priests, is equivalent to, and has all the mystic powers of, the cross ansata. It is well named “stole”, as the early Christians stole it from the pagan worship.

Serapis, the Egyptian god, is bedecked and bedizened with all the Christian emblems. He holds the crook of the Good Shepherd in one hand and the cross ansata in the other. He has the head and horns of a bull, showing that he is the son of the cow Hathor or Mary. And over his head are the Masons’ marks, the square and the eye, showing that he is in good standing in his lodge in Hell, for he, like christ, is Lord of the Underworld.

Refer to Vishnu, Stand. Dic., and you will see that pagan god wearing all the above emblems. He is christ and came as Rama in the sign of the Ram and as Krishna in the sign of Pisces. Turn to Krishna, and you will see the Hindu Madonna and christ that we kidnapped.

In the Sun. Am. Magazine, Aug. 29, 1910, we see a picture of Isis mourning at the bier of Osiris. At Egyptian funerals they assured the dead of eternal life by raising the symbol of Isis, the circle or rosary above the body. You will see that the head of the deceased at the wake is surrounded by male emblems, which gross symbols are now replaced in the present civilization by candles. You will see that Isis is bowing down before the Tree of Life, and that she has at hand a basket of perforated cakes, which she is about to offer to the Tree of Life, which tree is called Osiris or Baal or Moloch or Buddha or Yahveh or Iao or Siva or Jove according to the country in which the religion is perpetrated. If you place a wreath on a dead man’s stomach and seven candles around his head, he is no longer a meet candidate for Hell, but an heir of eternal glory. If you stick a cross through the wreath, it is a through ticket to the seventh heaven, and you may be assured that he will go through purgatory a-humping.
