Occultism The Occult, Magick & Ritualism Weird Tales 2005 11 24 The Necronomicon isn't supposed to exist, but - like so many things that shouldn't - it does. And how it's come to exist makes an interesting, and troubling story. But first, let's talk about HP Lovecraft, who imagined the book into fiction. Figures such as Michael Aquino, who composed a "Call to Cthulhu" ritual before he left the Church of Satan to found his Temple of Set, have adopted aspects of Lovecraft's mythos and imagery of hungry, tentacled gods in order to stimulate their own magick. Abramelin the Mage 2005 12 17 Abramelin the Mage is one of the many "house-hold names" in occultism, though in reality very little is actually known about the man himself. What we know of him comes to us through a medieval manuscript preserved in the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal in Paris. This text was a French copy from the 17th or 18th century of the original Hebrew manuscript. Freemasonic Order of the Golden Centurium 2005 12 06 A purely magical-mystical loge was founded in 1840 in Munich by some German rich industrialists and well situated citizens. This lodge existed until 1933. At all times only 99 persons of the male gender could belong to this esoteric working-group or secret lodge. This lodge basically never appeared in the open. Grave Mysteries (Part One & Two) 2006 03 04 In 1904 Crowley and his first wife, Rose, traveled to Egypt for their honeymoon. While visiting the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid, Crowley recited the "preliminary invocation" of the Goetia: the occult ritual of "low magic" to bind demons to a sorcerer's will. When the two returned to their hotel room in Cairo, Rose entered a trance state and began murmuring "They are waiting for you," along with "similar urgent but unintelligible phrases" according to Robert Anton Wilson in Cosmic Triggers vol. I. Wilson continues: Crowley did not like this at all, since it is typical of the uncontrolled, quasi-hysterical trances of spiritualist mediums. Ordo Templi Orientis, The Book of the Law, Crowley, Pike & The Bloody Sacrifice (WWI - III) 2005 07 09 O.T.O. is an international fraternal and religious organization. For its teachings and principles of organization, it has accepted the Law of Thelema, which is expressed as “Do what thou wilt.” Thelemites believe that this Law was established with the writing of the Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley 666: What's in a Number? 2005 10 18 Are you afraid of the number 666? If you were issued an automobile license plate or a telephone number that included a string of three sixes would you ask for a different number? Do you think the number 666 is inherently evil? Do you believe any number can in and of itself be evil? The 666th word in this article is "dead." Does this make you just a little bit nervous? Kenneth Grant and the Merovingian Mythos 2005 12 06 What is this Typhonian Tradition and how is it linked to the Merovingian/Grail Bloodline and the Priory of Sion? According to Kenneth Grant, a leading exponent of this Typhonian Tradition,and head of the Ordo Templi Orientis (a magical organization that was once headed by the one and only Aleister Crowley) this tradition is part of a current of magical force and occult lore dating back to Sumeria and pre-Dynastic Egypt. Jack Parsons, an Occult Rocket Scientist 2005 10 01 Parsons was a bit of a wunderkind in two key areas — the occult and rocket science. He was by all accounts a brilliant chemist. Parsons had always been interested in occultism, but his path to notoriety really started in 1941, when he joined the California-based Agape lodge of Aleister Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis. John Whiteside Parsons: Anti-Christ Superstar 2005 12 08 When the history of the American space program is finally written, no figure will stand out quite like John Whiteside Parsons. Remarkably handsome, dashing and brilliant, Jack Parsons was one of the founders of the experimental rocket research group at Cal Tech and the groups seven acre Arroyo Seco testing facility would eventually become Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA's rocket design center. Babalon Bunch - Jack Parsons, The Magickal Scientist and His Circle 2006 01 04 I shall tell of the tragic life of her [Babalons] most devoted disciple and beloved son, Jack Parsons. In doing so, I will correct previous misconceptions while correlating the known facts and wild legends that lie in several far-flung sources. "Imbued with the idea of the Kingly Man, as that expression is understood in the Cult of Thelema, Parsons bent his not inconsiderable energies, physical and intellectual, to the discovery of his True Will." Plan Nine From Outer Space 2007 03 06 One New Age channelling cult, above all the rest, has had a huge - very disturbing influence on hundreds of thousands of devotees worldwide. Known as 'The Nine', its disciples include cutting edge scientists, multi-millionaire industrialists and leading politicians. This exclusive extract based on The Startgate Conspiracy by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince looks at the sinister origins of The ... The Colour out of Space 2007 03 02 I dreamed that I was in the grasp of a great and horrible paw; a yellow, hairy, five-clawed paw which had reached out of the earth to crush and engulf me. And when I stopped to reflect what the paw was, it seemed to me that it was Egypt. - HP LovecraftThis is only a test At 5:05 on November 22, ... Occult Warfare 2006 10 13 When Nazi Germany entered World War Two in September of 1939 the government gathered together all of the best psychics, mediums, dowsers, and occultist into an organization to assist the war efforts against the West. They called this unit The Institute for Occult Warfare (IOW) and it was placed under the dreaded SS and its infamous leader Heinrich Himmler. Hitler had long believed in the supernatural after a dream saved his life in the First World War -- reinforcing his beliefs an event happened early in his rise to power. JFC Fuller's Army 2006 02 07 Since I was fourteen or so I've had on my bookshelf a copy of JFC Fuller's Decisive Battles of the Western World. I knew he was a Major General, an early advocate of air power and mechanized assault, and a popular military historian. I'd known his philosophy of armoured warfare won more favour in Germany than in Britain, and that it became the blitzkrieg of commanders such as Heinz Guderian. And that was about it. What I didn't know was Fuller was both a fascist and an occultist, and no slouch at either. Attempted manipulation of UFO manifestations 2005 10 26 In the past decade or so, the bizarre nexus of UFOs and the paranorma has emerged from the dustbin of Ufology, thanks to pioneers like Vallee, John Keel, and a rapidly growing group of researchers. In some ways, the UFO/Occult nexus has become a cottage industry, and has occasionally broken through into the mainstream. Down the Scole Hole 2005 12 27 The phenomena recorded in the Scole sittings was unusually rich and obtained under protocols anticipating the objections of skeptics. There was channelling of course, as well as spirit voices, noises, dancing lights, levitations and physical manifestations of alleged spirits. Also "apports" - the inexplicable materialization of dozens objects onto the session table, including an original pristine copy of the Daily Mail from January 4, 1944 and a tiny gold disc with hieroglyphics, "the source of which has not yet been identified." And remarkable captures on audio tape, photographic film and video. The Gnostic Theory of Alien Intrusion 2005 02 04 Since the explosion of the ET/UFO phenomena in 1947, speculation about alien intrusion on planet Earth has been rampant. Half a dozen theories dominate the debate, but there is one theory that has yet to be examined. It did not emerge after 1947, but approximately 1600 years earlier. To be precise, the evidence of this theory came to light through a discovery in Egypt in December, 1945, although the significance of the find was not realized until — guess when? 1947. The Secret of Eurasia - The Key to Hidden History 2005 11 28 Have secret societies and occult brotherhoods been active behind the scenes of world events for thousands of years? Do these guardians of secret wisdom shape the growth of human consciousness and influence the destiny of nations? Are hidden masters of occult knowledge empowering and infiltrating certain political, cultural, spiritual and economic movements, in fulfillment of an ancient plan? Antient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mizraim 2005 08 26 (First posted in March) Most Freemasons never proceed beyond the first three degrees of the Blue Lodge. This Rite is of great interest because of the colorful history and extraordinary number of degrees associated with it. Latter 20th Century Masonic authorities have often accused this Rites founders and promulgators of running fee snatching Masonic diploma mills. They criticize its historical inaccuracies and overtones of mysticism. And yet good and sincere Masons have associated with it. Satanic Connections To The U.S. Military 2005 09 16 Mr. Aquino performed black magic ceremonies (protected by the US constitution first amendment) at Wewelsburg castle (more) in Germany where Heinrich Himmler held rituals for his cult. Aquino later, was under investigation in Nebraska over a government related group that was kidnapping children. He was never convicted of anything. John Dee - Scientist, Magician and Alchemist 2005 09 07 John Dee was an eminent Elizabethan mathematician and astrologer. His studies into the Occult took him abroad on many occasions, and this has added weight to the suspicion that he was also a secret government agent (code name 007). He was employed teaching navigation to Naval Captains for 30 years, but is most well known for his active involvement in occult thought and practice. Johannes Bureus, the Renaissance rune magician 2006 12 23 The National Library of Sweden has scans of Johannes Bureus Runa ABC boken Ed comment: Everyone who is interested in people like John Dee and Francis Bacon should read more about Johannes Bureus, he is like a mix between the two.

Dee's 007, Tubal-Cain and the Rune of the "Original Language" 2006 12 28 I recently posted a very interesting article entitled “Johannes Bureus, the Renaissance rune magician." Among other things, the article goes into the connection between ancient Hebrew and Nordic runes. It also elaborates on the connection with the Kabbalah and John Dee. So this sparked my interesting in returning to John Dee and reading about him and his Enochian Magic. Those who ... The Skull and Crossbones 2007 01 06 The Untold Tale of the Templar Shining Ones Article received from Light Eye The enigmatic image of the skull and crossbones is deeply entrenched in the minds of millions around the world as the symbol of piracy, death and even poison.

The Hell-Fire Club 2007 01 12 Sex, Politics, and Religion in Eighteenth-Century England "Give me a grain of truth and I will mix it up with a great mass of falsehood, so that no chemist shall ever be able to separate them." - John Wilkes On moonlit nights during the reign of England's King George III, immensely powerful members of His Majesty's Government, important intellectuals, and influential ... Rabelais The First Thelemite 2007 01 21 Very little is available, to those of us who have embraced the Law of Thelema, pertaining to proper conduct, behavior, or etiquette. Aleister Crowley gave us some material, most of it consisting of Liber AL, Duty, Liber Oz, etc. This material, however, is open to interpretation, and in some instances, there are details that cannot be openly discussed ... Winston Churchill & The Ancient Order of Druids 2005 09 19 It is a relatively little know fact that one of Britain’s most celebrated, though far from uncontroversial, statesmen, Winston Churchill, was a Druid. In the first decade of the twentieth century the still relatively obscure Churchill dabbled with a number of esoteric organisations most notably the Freemasons and his initiation into Druidic rites appears to have been an outgrowth of this. Bush Victory Could Foil Occult Plot 2004 09 19 They are planning to rebuild Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem and sacrifice millions of Israelis and Moslems to their evil deity in a world war scheduled for about 2012. This human sacrifice is extremely important in occult terms because the souls of the dead somehow will consecrate the temple. The "Crown" wants Kerry to be elected because Bush's plan to attack Iran next year would derail this master plan. Chateau des Amerois - Mother of Darkness Castle 2007 01 17 In his writings ("Bloodlines of the Illuminati", p. 205) and speeches, Fritz Springmeier mentions a secret castle located near the village of Muno in Belgium. This castle would, according to him, be a center of the occult and have a cathedral inside with a dome with 1,000 lights. This castle is referred to as the Mothers-of-Darkness castle. Monarch programming would ... Swedenborg's Secret by Lars Bergquist 2005 11 03 An inventor, anatomist, mineralogist, philosopher and ethicist, Swedenborg applied himself to more intellectual tasks than most university faculties ever get around to. He discovered a lunar method of establishing longitude at sea (just missing the prize that went to John Harrison), devised new ways of constructing docks, and designed a submarine, an aeroplane and a machine gun. Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy: Spiritual Science? 2005 10 22 Steiner, who lived from 1861 until 1925, believed in the existence of a spiritual world that is accessible to pure thought only through the highest faculties of mental knowledge. Long ago, he held, humans possessed the ability to fully take part in the spirit world, but they had lost the ability due to an undue attachment to the material world. Witchcraft and nail clippings: the weird world of Cherie Blair? 2005 09 21 Even by the standards of the alternative therapies said to be used by Cherie Blair, submitting her husband's toenail clippings to a health guru's pendulum is taking her alleged New Age obsession to a higher level. Mrs Blair, a human rights lawyer, has long been the subject of claims about her fondness for weird and wonderful treatments, ranging from a Mayan rebirthing ceremony to eating strawberry leaves to cure swollen ankles. Michael Roll, William Crookes & Oliver Lodge - Life After Death 2005 10 05 There is a very good reason why the religionists and their powerful materialistic allies are fighting like tigers to destroy the secular scientific case for survival after death. This is because whenever we speak to people who once lived on Earth and are now living in the normally invisible part of the universe, the message is always the same via mediums, it never varies. "We all survive the death of our physical bodies."
