Dagobert's Revenge The Letter is the Spirit of the Law The Letter is the Spirit of the LawThe Letter is the Spirit of the Law “Word should express Will; hence the Mystic Name of the Probationer is the expression of his highest Will.” -Frater Perdurabo “A word is worth 1/1000 of a picture” -Anonymous “Word to your muthuh.” Vanilla Ice by, Tracy Twyman All literate people know about the aesthetics of words. Certain words just seem “right” next to one another, and the right words communicate the message more effectively than any other combination, even though they may be technically synonymous. Have you ever been in a high-pressure situation, such as a public speaking engagement or a family conflict, for which you prepared your words ahead of time so that you would come off just right, but when the moment came whatever flowed from your lips was much different and much more effective? Does it ever seem like your style of speech, or writing, or even the flow of words through your head as you ponder something, are products of a higher force working through you? Does it seem like the words you use are powerful weapons that you’re not sure how to operate? According to Moses in Genesis, which of course is based on various other texts dating all the way back to ancient Sumer, all the people of the Earth had one language, until the destruction of the Tower of Babel, at which point the people were scattered all over the place and their tongues scrambled so that people from different tribes couldn’t understand one another anymore. If we take this literally, it means that all of the different languages that we have today are pieces of a giant puzzle, the original language, probably decipherable by a code, and so-called “foreign” languages, which are gibberish to the uninitiated, still have a covert meaning that can be at least subliminally understood in the primeval code of the original language. All developing embryos known to man grow according to the same ratios, and these form a sequence of numbers (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21...) first noted by medieval mathematician Leonardo Fibbonaci and graphed as the Golden Mean spiral. According to the rather sketchy tale (short on details because, I think, he didn’t want to admit the role that drugs played in his discovery), recounted in the videotaped lecture “Geometric Metaphors of Life”, one day in 1977 Dr. Tenen just happened to have a three-dimensional representation of the Fibonacci sequence, a squiggly shape known as a tube torus, and he just suddenly got the urge to put it inside a crystal pyramid and shine a light through it so that a shadowed image was projected on the wall, which just happened to look like the Hebrew letter alef. Being a math major, he knew that there are 27 symmetrical positions inside a tetrahedron pyramid, so he changed the seating of the tube torus 26 times and got all 26 other letters, in order. He later placed the tube torus inside other shapes, such as squares and octehedrons, and came up with lots of other nifty stuff, including the Greek alphabet, in order, the Arabic alphabet, in order, and some squiggly lines that he thought looked like yoga postures. The experiment was successfully repeated numerous times and then put on video, and a few years later the MERU Foundation was formed to research the tube torus and to spread the news of a new-found hidden code shared by all major languages. So if letters represent the Fibbonacci spiral, and the Fibbonacci spiral represents the development of life, then what the Hebrew mystics say could be true, and language really does express a change from one mode of existence to another. Given the evidence, there are only three possible conclusions to draw: Either (A) the ancient people who invented the alphabets knew about the Fibbonacci spiral and purposefully encoded it into the letters, which requires that we credit them with a lot more sophistication than scholars generally do, including the use of computer models, or (B) the letters just developed that way, over time perhaps, by random chance, because that’s the nature of the universe, or (C) they really were given to us by the gods, just like the Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, and just about every ancient myth on the subject claimed, as documented by Zacharia Sitchin in his book The Wars of Gods and Men. Either way, it means something big. This really could be the key that cracks the code to the original language, the one destroyed with the Tower of Babel. Then we might finally understand the covert meaning and power behind our words, so that next time someone asks you to paraphrase something for them, you can tell them that there’s no proper way to do that because all technicalities count. Accidents Will Happen by, Archduke Hazardus Friday the 13th, October, 1307 - a dreadful day. Especially if you happened to be a Templar Knight. For on that dreadful day, just as the sun was rising, King Philip IV’s seneschals descended upon all of the order’s French holdings, arresting the members and seizing their property. He had owed them a lot of money and he had hoped to get his hands on the rumored Templar treasure that had made them fabulously rich. But they had been forewarned, and had moved the treasure, along, perhaps, with some mystical artifacts, to their preceptories in Scotland, where the atmosphere was much more pleasant. With the assistance of Pope Clement V, his so-called “puppet”, King Philip had the knights tortured and executed by the Inquisition. They were accused, among other things, of heresy, necromancy, homosexual practices, and conducting a bizarre ritual that involved spitting on, defecating on, or in some way desecrating the cross (which, if true, is perhaps evidence that they did not believe in the crucifixion.) Under extreme physical duress, most confessed. In fact, many of their confessions were remarkably similar in detail. By far the most popular theme, however, is the worship of an idol called “Baphomet.” Sometimes described as a cat or a goat that gets its anus ritually kissed, Baphomet was most often referred to as a severed head. A list of charges drawn up by the Inquisition on August 12th, 1308 reads: Item, that in each province they had idols, namely heads. Item, that they adored these idols. Item, that they said that the head could save them. Item, that it could make riches. Item, that it could make the trees flower. Item, that it made the land germinate. Item, that they surrounded or touched each head of the aforesaid idol with small cords, which they wore around themselves next to the shirt or the flesh. In light of the probability that these charges were true, it would bid us well to examine the possible origins and meanings of the famous Dread Head. Where did it come from? The Templar legends regarding this are numerous and confusing. Some said it was a man’s head, or a woman’s head, that it was bearded, or unbearded, that it was made of glass or crystal, and that it had two faces. A popular tale held that it was the head of the Templar’s first Grand Master, Hughes de Payens. Others said that it was made of gold and called "Caput LVIIIc", meaning "Head 58." One story that kept popping up in several confessions says that a Templar called “The Lord of Sidon” was in love with a young woman named Yse (possibly derived from “Isis”) who died suddenly, so on the night of her burial, he dug up her body and copulated with it. 9 months later a voice “from the Void” told him to go back to the grave, where he would find his son. There he discovered a head resting on a pair of legbones (perhaps the origin of the Templar’s famous “skull & crossbones” symbol.) The voice told him that if he was careful to guard the head, it would be “the giver of all things.” He took it with him and for the rest of his days it protected him. Later on the Templar order got a hold of it and incorporated it into their rituals. Islamic Origins A common claim by historians is that the name “Baphomet” was derived from “Mahomet” an Old French corruption of the name of the prophet Muhammad. Others have said it comes from the Arabic word “abufihamet”, meaning “Father of Understanding.” Whatever the specific derivation, the idea that the Baphomet legend was influenced by Islam is quite logical. The Templars were known to have cavorted with Sufis and other unorthodox Muslims while stationed in the Middle East, as well as in Spain and perhaps even Jerusalem, where they were supposed to be fighting the “infidel” during the Crusades. This would have given them ample opportunity to pass on the legend of Baphomet, if not the actual item. In his book The Sufis, Idries Shah argues that Baphomet was really the head of a mystic revered by a number of Sufi sects called Hallaj, who was executed for testifying about his spiritual experiences. After he got decapitated, the Caliph’s Queen Mother had the head embalmed, and it later came into the possession of certain Sufi masters, who revered it for its magical powers. Shah claims that Hallaj, a “son of a widow” was not only Baphomet but also the model for the Masonic rites of Hiram Abiff. He, of course, was the architect of Solomon’s Temple who was killed by his underlings with three ceremonious blows to the head for not revealing the secret words, grips and signs of a Master Mason. Wisdom In Holy Blood, Holy Grail the authors point out that when run through a certain qabbalistic cipher known as Atbash, the word “Baphomet” renders “Sophia”, the name of the Greek Goddess of Wisdom. This makes sense, for the Templars were known to be the keepers of an ancient “wisdom tradition”, and a logical representation of wisdom is the human head. Interestingly, Aliester Crowley, who adopted the name “Baphomet” upon joining the Ordo Templi Orientis, believed the name to derive from two Greek words put together meaning “baptism of wisdom” or “absorption into wisdom.” Indeed, the experience of “absorption into wisdom” could be considered an ego death, and the skull & crossbones became a well-known symbol for death. Bran the Blessed Elements of the Baphomet story are quite obviously Celtic in origin. The Celts believed that the soul resided in the head, and therefore they would sever the heads of their enemies and preserve them as magical talismans. The most well-known severed head among the Celts is that of the legendary giant Bran the Blessed, which is said to be buried outside London, facing France. It was put there to ward off the plague, ensure fertility and protect the city from foreign invasion. Similar powers are also attributed to the head of the Green Man, the Celtic fertility God discussed in the article “If it isn’t Scottish, it’s Crap.” Levi’s Baphomet Baphomet was sometimes described by the tortured Templars as having a human form with wings, cloven feet, and the head of a goat. From this came the 19th century occultist Eliphas Levi’s well-known depiction of Baphomet, now incorporated into the Waite tarot deck as “The Devil.” This popular image, sometimes referred to as “The Sabbatic Goat”, was made to embody symbols of conflicting dualities. Thus the beast bears the breasts of a woman and the organs of a man, and is poised between the waxing and waning moon symbols with his right and left hands pointing up and down, respectively. Levi, who was obsessed with dualities, was the first occultist to come up with the idea of “good” (upward-pointing) and “evil”(downward pointing) pentagrams, and his version of the “evil” pentagram included Baphomet’s goat face super-imposed onto it, from whence came the “Sign of Baphomet” used by Satanist Anton LeVey. Levi believed Baphomet to be the symbolic form of the absolute supreme being, and claimed that all occultists, including Templars and Freemasons, actually worshipped the Baphomet. He even believed that the name “Baphomet” was a code for Solomon’s Temple, because if you spell it backwards you get the letters: “TEM-OH-AB”, which he said stood for: “Templi omnivm hominum pacis abbas”, meaning “The Father of the Temple of Peace of All Men.” Despite this, Levi’s characterization of the Baphomet led to the popular conception of the Devil as we know him today, and gave fodder to the theories that Freemasonry is Satanic
