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.
