“And
the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and
Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth,and his angels
were cast out with him” [1]
Abstract
The
Illuminati – What is it? – Who is it? Just the sound of its name
evokes a sense of mystery and foreboding. Yet the word itself is derived
from lumen or light: that which casts off light.
Its
meaning is shrouded in a veil of mystery; even most members are unaware
of the inner source that emanates a hidden purpose across the ages of
time. The energy is subtle yet powerful; gentle yet brutal; inviting yet
deceitful.
Anomalies
and contradictions clothe its body like the multi-layered skin of an
onion; which when peeled back reveals that smell - the smell that hangs
around, festering with the passage of time.
No
other group in the New World Order Series has had the secrecy, intrigue,
misinformation, and misunderstanding of the Illuminati; a tangled web of
obfuscation and entrapment, rivaled only by Arachne herself.
The
Illuminati is, and has always been, deeply involved with the occult:
that which remains hidden from sight; a most fitting description of the
subject before us.
It is
said by many to be the mother of all secret societies, a secret society
within a secret society, which would be better said: a secret society
within secret societies in the plural, as its modus operandi is
stealth infiltration that seeps deep into unwary hosts, as a plague unto
the earth.
Origins
Illuminati
is a Greek word, and this alone speaks to its ancient heritage.
Throughout the ages the name has been used to refer to many different
groups or sects. Some are very secret – others not so secret. Some are
known – others not known.
From
the time of Christ, those that received baptism by fire, as opposed to
baptism by water, were said to be initiated into the inner way,
henceforth consciously treading upon the path towards enlightenment.
This is the true meaning, which accords and aligns itself, as the right
hand path. In Latin Illuminati means “enlightened ones”.
Very
few enter upon the inner way. As Christ said, “it is easier for a
camel to fit through the eye of a needle, then it is to enter the
Kingdom of Heaven.”
During
the 15th century in Spain there was a “mystic” group
called the Alumbrados or Iluminados. They were a Gnostic sect whose
origins can be traced back to Italy – to the Carbonari – the
charcoal-burners.
In
the 17th and 18th century a group referred to as
the Illumines was active in France, with connections to the Alumbrados
of Spain. Below is an extremely rare copy of their writings:

Founding
The
supposed founder of the Illuminati is Dr. Adam Weishaupt, which in
keeping with the shrouds of purposeful confusion that always surrounds
the subject, should be correctly referred to as the Bavarian
Illuminati.
Dr.
Weishaupt was a professor of Canon Law at Ingolstadt University during
the 1770’s. The University of
Ingolstadt was founded in 1472, by Louis the Rich, duke of
Bavaria.
Exteriorizations
or manifestations occur by the confluence of three factors: time, place,
and circumstance. None are by accident – all is by design. As such,
both the University, and Louis the Rich, are two of the many links in
the chain, providing clues to that which remains unseen.
Ingolstadt
is said to have been planned as a replica of the University of Vienna,
sharing the same self-claimed purpose: the dispursion of the Christian
faith.
Note
that there may be a difference between Christianity and Catholicism.
There is no doubt that Catholicism played a large role in what follows;
Christianity we will leave to the reader’s discretion.
Jesuits
During
the Counter-Reformation, and especially during the 1600’s, the
Universtiy came to be dominated by the Jesuits. As you can see, the
layers to be peeled back are legion – a veritable history of
histories.
The
Jesuits, or Society of Jesus, was founded by Ignatius of Loyola, in
1534, however, Ignatius named the organization the Company of Jesus. The
name Jesuits came later.
Loyola
was a soldier prior to his epiphany, which is thought to be why the
Jesuits have been referred to as soldiers of Christ, and foot soldiers
of the Pope. Perhaps – perhaps not.
Of
interest is that Pope Paul III confirmed the order through the bull Regimini
militantis ecclesiae on September 27, 1540, which
translates as: to the Government of the Church Militant. Loyola’s
title was Father General of the Church Militant.
Like
the Knights of the Temple before them – they were a military order
under the Pope’s direct rule. They were to “convert”
non-believers, and convert they did.
Loyola
was obsessed with abnegation and obedience to the Pope – what Ignatius
called: perinde ac cadaver, which translates as, well-disciplined
like a corpse.
Ingatius’s
overiding belief was: Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam - "for the
greater glory of God", which he also expressed with his infamous
statement: "I will believe that the white that I see is black if
the hierarchical Church so defines it." [2]
Note
the words hierarchical Church, as opposed to Christ. Perhaps this goes
towards the difference between Catholicism and Christianity – perhaps
not.
Enough
of the Jesuits, we return to the founder of the Univerity at Ingolstadt
- Louis the Rich, duke of Bavaria.
Louis
the Rich
Duke
Louis IX of Bavaria was born in 1417, in Burghausen, and lived until
1479, in Landshut. Louis was Duke of Bavaria-Landshut from 1450-1479. He
was the son of Henry XVI the Rich and Margarete of Austria.
Louis
was famous for his expulsion from his Dukedom of all Jews who refused
baptism. Catholicism versus Christianity again?
His
father – Henry XVI, was the son of duke Frederick and his wife
Maddalena Visconti, a daughter of Bernabò Visconti. Frederick was the
second son of Stephen II and Elizabeth of Sicily.
Steven
was the second son of Emperor Louis IV and Beatrix of Silesia-Glogau,
and a member of the Wittelsbach dynasty. The plot thickens.
Lines
of Descent
When
his father died in 1347, Stephen succeeded him as Duke of Bavaria and
Count of Holland and Hainaut. Stephen II was the last son of
Emperor Louis IV who was absolved from the excommunication of
1362 – from the Church that is.
Louis
IV of Bavaria was of the House of Wittelsbach and duke of Bavaria from
1294-1301. He was also count of the Palatinate until 1329, and German
king from 1314.
Last
but not least, Louis was crowned Holy Roman Emperor, in
1328. Kings are kings, but Holy Roman Emperors are the King of
Kings, at least here on earth; and of course, according to the Church
and the Pope, who annoints them with his blessing.

Coats
of Arms of a Holy Roman Emperor
Margaret
II of Avesnes was Countess of Hainaut and Countess of Holland from 1345
to 1356. Margaret was the daughter of William III of Hainaut and
Holland, and his wife, Jeanne of Valois. On 26 February, 1324, in
Cologne she married Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria.
Louis
was a son of Louis II, Duke of Upper Bavaria and Count Palatine of the
Rhine and Mechthild (Matilda), a daughter of King Rudolph I.
Duke
Louis II of Bavaria was Duke of Bavaria and Count Palatine of the Rhine
from 1253. Born in Heidelberg, he was a son of duke Otto II and Agnes of
Palatinate. Her grandfathers were the dukes Henry XII the Lion and
Conrad of Hohenstaufen. Now the plot really is getting thick, and
on both sides.
Otto
II of Bavaria 1206 – 1253, was the Duke of Bavaria and Count Palatine
of the Rhine. He was a son of Louis I and Ludmila of Bohemia
and a member of the Wittelsbach dynasty.
At
the age of six, Otto was married with Agnes of Palatinate, a
granddaughter of Duke Henry the Lion and Conrad of Hohenstaufen.
By this marriage the Wittelsbach inherited Palatinate.
Now,
obviously the lines of descent can be traced back further and further,
which will be done in other articles in the series. For now we move on.
House
of Wittelsbach
All
In The FamilyThe
point is that in the short span of lineage covered above, one can see
that ruling families or “royalty”, kept things in the family by the
use of marriage – marriage between, and within, the same families.
This
keeping of things within the same families sounds very much like a
society within a society, does it not? And it is a very elite society at
that, one composed of a very few families. Cui Bono?
Follow
the money or wealth. Might there be a connection between secret
societies and the elite? Perhaps there is a connection between the lust
for power and the lust for wealth?
Yet,
as we will see, the Bavarian Illuminati were said to be for the
overthrow of nation states, of royalty or otherwise – another layer to
be peeled off.
Bavarian
Illuminati
Returning
to the Bavarian Illuminati and Adam Weishaupt, we find that on
May 1, 1776, Weishaupt organized the secret society, while still
teaching at Ingolstadt.
It is
fascinating how the date coincides with the founding of America, begging
the question: by design or accident?
Even
more fascinating is that the Great Seal of the United States has
inscribed on it: Novus Ordo Seclorum – New World Order
(literally – New Secular Order).
It
also contains the Latin phrase: Annuit Coeptis, which means “gives
the nod (assents) to the undertakings.” Both phrases appear in the
writings of Virgil.

As
Manly P. Hall stated in The Secret Teachings of All Ages:
"Not
only were many of the founders of the United States government Masons,
but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe
which helped them to establish this country for A PECULIAR AND
PARTICULAR PURPOSE known only to the initiated few." [3]
The
pyramid is obviously taken from Egypt, and the eye as depicted was also
prevalent in Egypt, as the eye of Osiris – Osiris actually
means: “throne of the eye.” Thus we see a connection between
Illuminati symbolism that goes back to Egypt and forward to
America.
Symbols
The
symbol of the Illuminati is said to be a point within a circle,
expressive of the rays of the sun emanating out from a central source.
It probably is true that Weishaupt considered the point within a circle
to be expressive of such; however, there is much more to the symbol then
rays of light shining forth from the sun.
This
is nothing more than pagan Sun worship, which is about as far as
Weishaupt ever got. As we will see – Sun worship was one of many left
hand paths of the Illuminati gone astray.
The
point within the circle is the most basic visual expression that denotes
manifestation or creation. All exteriorizations or manifestations in the
physical world occur by points that become circles: constructing form by
point, line, angle, and degree. It is representative of the process by
which matter is precipitated forth from substance.
Pythagoras
was aware of this symbol and its process. Pythagoras was a true student
of the ancient way - the way of the right hand path. Weishaupt tread
upon the left hand path. He had no understanding of the true inner way
from the time of the ancients.
Such
is easily discernible from his writings, and professed goals – one
world rule according to a New World Order. There is nothing sacred or
spiritual about such an order, which is why it is referred to as secular
– not sacred.
Weishaupt
was mesmerized by ancient Zoroastrian-Manichaean fire cult worship,
which is nothing more then another form of pagan Sun worship. The
dominant cult of the ancient world was Sun worship. The Sun comprises
99% of all matter in our solar system.
Hesse-Kassel
In
1780, Baron von Knigge became a member of the Illuminati. He
was born in Bredenbeck, Hannover. Knigge was the Court Squire and
Assessor of the War and Domains Exchequer in Kassel. In 1777, he became
Chamberlain at the Weimar court.
Kassel
or Cassel is a city in northern Hessen,
Germany. During the American Revolutionary War, Karl, Landgraf
von Hesse-Kassel, Prince of the Hessen Royal Family,
hired out thousands of his mercenaries to Great Britain to fight against
the Americans in the Revolutionary War.
Hessen
Coat of Arms
Karl’s
mercinaries were his greatest source of income and wealth. He was a
merchant of death, who traded souls for gold and silver: the devil’s
work.
Rothschild
Connection
Of
significance is that Mayer Amschel Rothschild received his first major
business deal from the Langraf of Hesse-Kassel, hired to procure rare
gold coins for him. Soon he was acting as the Landraf’s personal
investment and financial advisor. Rothschild had planted the seed in
fertile ground, and it soon blossomed into a most fruitful banking
enterprise.
In
the many biographies of Mayer
Amschel Rothschild, the scion of
the House of Rothschild, and the great banking dynasty to come
thereafter, he is often reported to have been seen, and known to
frequent, the Landgraf’s castle for more than investment
purposes.
It
was common knowledge that Karl was deeply involved in the occult, and
that secret meetings involving rights, initiations, masses, and other
strange occurrences were constantly going on at his castle.
Kassel
first appears of importance in 913, as the place where two deeds were
signed by king Conrad I.
Conrad
I was duke of Franconia from 906, and king of Germany from 911 to
918.

Carolingian
Empire
Conrad
was appointed duke by the court of the last true Carolingian ruler of
East Francial, Louis the Child. He was the only legitimate son of the
Emperor Arnulf and his wife, Ota, a member of the Conradine Dinasty.
Arnulf
is descended from the line of Lothair I, king of Italy (818 – 855) and
Holy Roman Emperor (840 – 855). He was the eldest son of the
emperor Louis the Pious, and his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye.
In
815 Lothair became king of Bavaria. His grandfather was none other then Charlemagne,
thus Lothair was the heir to the entire Carolingian Empire. It’s a
small world after all, at least as far as royalty and nation states
go.
Masonic
Congress
Hesse-Cassel
was a focal point of many things, especially those of the occult. In
1782, the Masonic Congress of Wilhelmsbad was held near Hanau in
Hesse-Cassel. It was called by Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick. Baron von
Knigge was in attendance, representing the Illuminati.
Ferdinand
was Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and a Prussian
Generalfeldmarschall, and Grand Master of the Freemasonry Order
of the Strict Observance. He was
married to Augusta, a sister of George III of Great Britain. His eldest
son, Karl George August, married Frederika, daughter of William V, Prince
of Orange and Wilhelmina of Prussia, in 1790.
The
Edicts
In
1784, von Knigge resigned from the Bavarian Illuminati, having repeated
disagreements with Weishaupt. That same year the
Elector of Bavaria, Duke Carl Theodore, issued the first edict against
secret societies not authorized by the law or the sovereign.
The
Bavarian Monarch issued a second edict against secret societies, in
1785, signaling out the Illuminati and Freemasonry as the most dangerous
and subversive groups.
Weishaupt
escaped across the border to Regensburg, to the court of Ernest Lewis,
Duke of Saxe-Gotha, a known
member of the Illuminati.
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
were the names of two German duchies of Saxe-Coburg and Saxe-Gotha in
Germany, located in Bavaria and Thuringi.
The
House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
The
name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha also refers to the family of the ruling House of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The blood lines here run deep.
The
House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was the Royal House of several European
monarchies, including Belgium and the United Kingdom, through the line
of descent from Prince Albert.
In
1917 King George V changed the Royal House of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the House of Windsor – the present ruling
House of Great Britian.
The
House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is a line of the Saxon House of Wettin,
which means the House of Windsor is a line of the House of Wettin.
In
1787, the
last edict against the Order of the Illuminati was issued by the Duke of
Bavaria.
The
House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
Any
individuals charged and found guilty of carrying on the
activities of the Bavarian Illuminati were to be put to death by the
sword. This order inspired Weishaupt to stay in Regensburg under the
protection of Ernest Lewis, Duke of Saxe-Gotha.
Summary
Let’s
review what we have uncovered so far:
- Adam
Weishaupt founded the Bavarian Illuminati on May 1, 1776
- The
Illuminati has roots going back to the ancient world BC
- Weishaupt
taught canon law at Ingolstadt University
- Lous
the Rich founded Ingolstadt University
- The
Jesuits came to dominate the University
- Weishaupt
was a Jesuit before starting the Illuminati
- Many
elite royal families were members of the Illuminati
- Hesse-Kassel
was a focal point of occult activity
- Karl,
Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, gave Rothschild his start in
business
- Strange
meetings took place at the Landgrave’s castle
- Royal
Houses intermarried with/in the same families to retain power
- The
U.S. was established by unseen hands for a specific purpose
- The
House of Windsor is from the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
- The
House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is from the House of Wettin
The
above is only a reiteration of some of the many points we have covered
thus far. They do on their own provide a fascinating exegesis.
Goals
of the Order
Henry
Martin explains Weishaupt’s goals for the Illuminati thusly:
“Weishaupt
. . . proposed as the end of Illuminism the abolition of property,
social authority, nationality, and the return of the human race to the
happy state in which it formed only a single family without artificial
needs, without useless sciences, every father being priest and
magistrate. Priest of we know not what religion, for in spite of their
frequent invocations of the God of Nature, many indications lead us to
conclude that Weishaupt had, like Diderot and d'Holbach, no other God
than Nature herself. From his doctrine would naturally follow German
ultra-Hegelianism and the system of anarchy recently developed in
France, of which the physiognomy suggests a foreign origin.” [4]
This quote provides a look
into the inner beliefs of the Illuminati: they are said to have had no
other God than nature herself. Martin comes very close to the heart of
the Bavarian Illuminati with this statement, as well as the beliefs of
many of the pagan mystery cults associated therewith.
It would be quite logical
for one to conclude that nature was the object of the Illuminati’s
worship, however, it is not nature that was idolized as God by the
Illuminati – it was the entity that ruled over nature which they
worshiped. By this mistaken and ungrounded belief, the Illuminati deny
the human race of its higher Spiritual origin and being.
This is one of the greatest
mistakes man has made in trying to understand his being. He constantly
considers himself to be of nature when he is not. The physical body is
of nature, but the consciousness within is not of nature, or the
physical world – it is beyond the bounds of nature. As Christ said:
“I am in the world, but not of it.”
Further insight into
Weishaupt’s deluded thinking can be seen in the following statement he
made:
“Do you realize
sufficiently what it means to rule - to rule in a secret society? Not
only over the lesser or more important of the populace, but over the
best of men, over men of all ranks, nations, and religions, to rule
without external force, to unite them indissolubly, to breathe one
spirit and soul into them, men distributed over all parts of the world?
. . . And finally, do you know what secret societies are? What a place
they occupy in the great kingdom of the world's events? Do you think
they are unimportant, transitory appearances?” [5]
Such
utterances are the ranting of an elitist madman unleashed. Man is to be
ruled by deception, illusion, and delusion, the end goal being a New
World Order of one world governance that rules over the entire earth.
There is nothing here of the sacred – only of the secular
and less.
Object
of Worship
It is
nothing more than the sickness brought on by the lust for power – evil
personified. The Illuminati do not worship nature – they worship that
which rules nature – Lucifer, the fallen star.
"Aurora,
watchful in the reddening dawn, threw wide her crimson doors and
rose-filled halls; the Stars took flight, in marshalled order set by
Lucifer, who left his station last." [6]
This
is the origin of the name Lucifer/Illuminati, as practiced by Weishaupt
and most of the other pagan orders. Lucifer was once a shining star,
prior to being cast out of heaven, down to the earth below, his new
kingdom to rule – for a time, a time that ends: “for when the
Perfect comes, the imperfect shall cease to be.” [7]
And
how did Weishaupt plan to accomplish his goal of a one world New World
Order?
"The object of the
first degrees of Illuminism is at once to train their young men, and to
be informed of every thing that is going forward by a system of
espionage. The Superiors aim at procuring from their inferiors
diplomatic acts, documents, and original writings. With pleasure they
see them commit any treasons or treacherous acts, because they not only
turn the secrets betrayed to their own advantage, but thereby have it in
their power to keep the traitors in a perpetual dread, lest, if they
every showed any signs of stubbornness, their malefactions should be
made known. Oderint dum metuant, let them hate, provided they fear, is
the principle of their government.” [7]
Does
this sound like the teachings of Christ? I think not. Any form of
government that is based on fear and hate is one that is solely intended
to rule over and dominate its “subjects”, relegating individual
freedom and liberty to subservience to the elite few who govern or pilot
(steer) the ship their way – which is not the Way.
Admiralty
Law of the Dictator
Admiralty
law is thus the law of the dictator – not of the people. Is the law of
the sea the same as the law of the land? This question will be seen to
be more and more important, as the year 2012 approaches.
Why
was the law of the sea of such importance in earlier times, man still
lived upon the ground? Yes, but man needed to trade goods he had for
those he didn’t have and needed. This required transportation of goods
to viable marketplaces.
Shipping
in large vessels was ideal for the increased trade and commerce
occasioned by the ease and speed of water travel. Rivers and seas
offered huge “roads” able to move more goods from point A to point B
and back again.
The
ancients indulged in worldwide trade with partners on the other sides of
the earth by using water routes. It has always been, and still is about
trade routes, and who controls them, and at what cost.
But
it appears we are straying from our subject: the Illuminati. We have
gone from criticizing non-Christian like behavior, to admiralty law of
the sea, to trade routes, and now international trade.
Money
& the Illuminati
Something
not often mentioned when the Illuminati is discussed is where do they
get their money from. Money for what one may ask. Money to write and
publish works on their beliefs, money to advertise, money to pay for
holding conferences and meetings, money to convert non-believers to
believers, money to pay for “spies” to infiltrate, money to buy off
officials of the state, etc. etc.
The
Illuminati desires to topple governments and religions, and other
established institutions, in order to establish their New World Order -
a one world government. This is no small undertaking, and requires large
sums of money to even begin to affect.
This
leads us to what all the above seemingly disparate topics have in
common: money, and the men that control the money – the moneychangers.
He who controls the money, controls all else. As Mayer Rothschild said:
“I care not who is King or Queen, as long as I control the money”.
Unfortunately the Baron knew from whence he spoke.
In
the first paper in this series, The
New World Order Age of Discontent
(click
link) we discussed the coming of the
Industrial Revolution, and questioned why it all started in Europe, and
predominantly in England. The following is a verbatim quote from that
first paper:
The
Industrial Revolution
There
can be no doubt that the industrial revolution was an earth-shattering
event that forever changed the landscape, as well as the lives of those
thereon. It began in the late seventeen hundreds in Europe, its
highpoint the middle to late 1800’s.
A
question of some substance is why did it start in Europe, predominantly
in England, before other nations strode upon the stage? Why did England
dominate the world from the mid 1700’s to the early 1900’s – until
the end of the war?
The
people that flooded into Europe during the Dark and Medieval Ages came
up from the south and east; and down from the North and West. Once the
Roman Empire fell the next millennium witnessed a great Diaspora
spreading its wings across the land: the migration of man had begun.
The
fields of England were chosen as the center ground. The all-seeing owl
nodded his head in approval, as he cast a glance over his shoulder –
his shadow reflected upon the earth. [8]
The
New Seat of Power
So
there we have it. The wise old owl chose England as the new seat
of the money power – the same power centered in Rome for centuries had
moved North, bringing with it a great migration of the human race,
spreading forth across Europe.
When
all is said and done – the true goal of the elite is money and power,
in no certain order. Some prefer power, others prefer riches – many
desire and most have both. Weishaupt was driven by the lust for power.
We
have seen the connection between the Rothschilds and the Illuminati
through their middleman, the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassle; he who traded in
death - for pieces of gold and silver.
From
such a start of outer fortune, paid for by the surrender to obtain the
storage of inner treasures, the House of Rothschild rose to
control the purse strings of all the Kings and Queens of Europe. The
money power is far greater than the military power, for without money to
pay for the war machine – there is no war. The dogs of war must be fed
or they quickly turn on the hand that feeds them.
We
have also seen how all the so called “royal” or ruling Houses of
Europe were intertwined and entangled in a web of lies and deceit, whose
form could only be held together by the breeding of one elite family
with another, and in some instances, interbreeding within the same
family. The elite banking dynasties employed the same blueblood
breeding.

Oligarchy
An
oligarchy is a form of government where political power has been usurped
by an elite few from the remaining citizens of the state.
Oligarchy is from the Greek words: few and rule, and literally means
rule by the few. The elite establish themselves above the rest of the
people by a combination of inheritance, wealth, and military force or
power.
One
example of an oligarchy is the elite ruling class of wealthy
collectivists who governed Venice from 500-1700. A Prime Minister was
appointed called the Doge, who had no formal powers, but acted as
a figurehead.

Interior
Courtyard of the Doge’s Palace
The
Government was run by a Cabinet, consisting of the Prime Minister and
the six most powerful elite members of state. The Cabinet reported to
the Senate or Great Council, which included all the selected elite.
The
Venetian oligarchy made Venice into the most powerful city-state in all
of Europe. In the 16th Century the Venetians moved their financial
empire to London, which became the new financial center of the
world.
The
oligarchy’s tentacles were spreading out across the globe, spanning
the Atlantic to reach the United States – and Wall Street. A marriage
consecrated in hell.

CadOro,
Venice,
Italy
This
is the Illuminati of the left hand path – the elitist path to secure
money, power, and world domination – a New World Order – their order
of one world governance by the select few over the many: Weishaupt’s
life-long goal.
The
Ancient Mystery Cults
Weishaupt
had a fascination with the ancient mystery schools, the reason for
which, upon further discussion will be self-evident. There were many
ancient mystery schools, we will cover the following to provide a few
examples for the reader’s review to aid in discerning the subject
before us.
The
Eleusinian Mysteries
The
Eleusinian Mysteries celebrated or worshiped the cult of Demeter and
Persephone. Eleusis was an ancient city in Greece where the cult began
around 2000-1500 BC. The Mysteries incorporated both Sun Worship and
Fertility or Earth Worship, as did most ancient pagan systems.
The
Roman emperor Theodosius I closed the temples and retreats in AD 392.
When Alaric, King of the Goths, invaded Greece in 396, he destroyed the
temples and other remaining artifacts of the cult. We note the word
culture contains the root cult.
The
Cult of Mithras
Mithras
was the god of the Roman Empire from the 5th century BC to
the 5th century AD. The cult flourished in and around the
Eastern Mediterranean area. Mithras is the Greek masculine form of Mithra,
the god of the Persians.
The
Roman worship of Mithras can be traced back to similar cults in
Mesopotamia and Sumeria due to its focus on astrology that Babylon and
the Chaldeans were known for.
Below
is a picture worth a 1000 words, to which we have only added a few. This
relief holds a great deal of ancient knowledge – knowledge that time
has almost forgot. But that is time’s weakness, which will be
overcome.
Mithras
Killing a Sacred Bull
The
Telling
A
serpent and dog are drinking blood from the bull's open wound ,
and a scorpion attacks the bull's testicles. In the upper corners are
Helios (Sol/Sun) with a raven, and Luna (Moon). Many believe this
depicts the sacrifice of a “sacred” bull as an “offering” to the
Gods. There is much more revealed here then meets the eye.
Notice
the animals dipicted: a bull, a dog, a serpent, a scorpion, a raven, and
the two symbols of the Sun and Moon. The bull is Taurus, the snake
Hydra, the dog Canis Major or Minor, the raven Corvus. The torch-bearers
are the two equinoxes. Mithras is Perseus, whose constellation is above
that of Taurus the bull.
This
relief is a depiction of the Progression of the Equinox’s, when the
age of Taurus ended, hence the death of the bull. The Age of Taurus ran
from about 4700 BC to 2500 BC with the age of Aries then beginning.
Taurus is an earth sign.
The
Age of Aries ran from 2500 BC to 300 BC. Aries is the sign of the ram
and is a fire sign. During this period there was a great deal of sun or
fire worship prevalent on earth.
From
300 BC to 1900 AD the earth entered the sign of Pisces. Pisces is a
water sign. From 1900 to 4100 we have entered the sign of
Aquarius.
One
last astrological bit of esoterica: the word Sphinx is almost always
associated with Egypt. There is, however, another myth of the Sphinx
from Thebes. The Sphinx terrorized Thebes until Oedipus passes by and
solves the riddle.
The
Theban Sphinx is a hybrid creature with the head of a woman, the body of
a lion, the wings of an eagle, and the tail of a serpent. She punishes
all who fail to answer her riddle by strangulation. The Greek verb sphingein
means to strangle. Hence
most associate the Greek verb to be the complete etymology of the word.
Perhaps – perhaps not.
What
is the meaning of the 4 multi-bodied creature that asks a riddle, the
answer to which, is man; and is solved by the son who suffers the fate
of the Oedipus complex. Is this all happenchance? Is anything
happenchance?
Mithra
Mithra
was a deity in both early Zoroastrianism and in later Persia, especially
in what came to be known as Iran and Iraq. He is one of the ahuric
triads that protects the order of the universe that was created by Ahura
Mazda. He is also said to be the source of cosmic light.

Mithra,
Ardashir I, Ahura Mazda
The
Vedas
In
the Indian tradition Mitra is a deity mentioned in the Riveda as being
one of the Adityas along with Varuna, both of which are solar gods. They
are known as the “keepers of the covenant”. We note the similarity
with the stories of the “ark of the covenant”; and the search for it
and the Holy Grail.
Conclusion
The
Bavarian Luminati is not the sacred Way of the right hand path. It walks
only upon the left hand path – the way of illusion and delusion. Its
goal is to seek to establish a New World Order of a one world governance
ruled over by the select elite few.
Weishaupt
was not as learned as many are led to believe. He had studied arcane
subjects that most are not aware of – let alone understand. However,
Weishaupt is an example of the adage that a little knowledge can be a
dangerous thing. The occult is a boggy path mired with quicksand that
will easily trap the unwary traveler.
The
Bavarian Illuminati had many powerful leaders in high places, which gave
them the power to influence society in general. The cult was structured
in a triangular
hierarchy, with Weishaupt at the
top. From him trickled down the delusional plan for world domination,
slowly filtering its way through society by many different paths.
But
was Weishaupt really at the top, or were there others that were merely
using him to affect their plan? Recall Rothschild’s statement that he
who controls the money – controls all. The giver of a gift is greater
then the gift he gives. Cui Bono?
We
have seen that going back all through history that there have been the
same elite few that have desired to dominate and rule the world. The
same families keep showing up in the bloodlines of the “royal”
Houses of Europe and elsewhere; they who have used interbreeding to
carry on their blueblood lines of descent, and thus claims to power.
But
such interbreeding leads to genetic mutations susceptible to
self-illusion and delusion that leads on to faulty thinking, psychosis,
and the opening up to outside forces. Perhaps the Illuminati should
remember that “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness
knows it not.” [9]
This
ends the article on the Illuminati of the New World Order Series.
Perhaps
the wise old owl is not so wise as we have been led to believe.

"When
philosophy paints its gray on gray, then has a form of life grown old
and with gray on gray it cannot be rejuvenated, but only known; the
Owl of Minerva first takes flight with twilight closing in." [10]
