Christianity -- Controversial literature; Free thought
Ch. 4, v 6. The four beasts referred to are the four hieroglyphic beasts
of the priests and magicians, which they placed on the playing cards of
Egypt, the lion, the bull, the man and the eagle. They are zodiacal gods
and sit in the North, the East, the South and the West respectively. The
churches declare truly that a pack of cards is the Devil’s book. Cards
were invented by the priests, and they are reeking with sacred, occult
and religious emblems. The pack is composed of four sets of ten. Ten is
a Kabalistic sacred number, for there are ten persons in the Hebrew
Godhead, and 10 or IO is the name of God. Then there are the four beasts
or aces, and the Trinity is represented by the king, queen, and jack.
The clubs, or the three sacred balls of the Jews, are the symbol of the
male god and the Trinity. Any deeper meaning can only be disclosed to
the initiated. The heart is the cup or chalice or Eye of Isis, the
symbol of love. The queen of hearts is clothed with the sun and moon,
and she is Mary, the Queen of Heaven. The Queen of spades holds in her
left hand the sacred candle, and she is adorned with another male
emblem, the fleur de lys, and in her right hand is the flower of Isis, a
female emblem, the same as the circles and rosaries with which she is
also decorated. The seven circles are the emblems of the seven joys that
Mary had. The twelve precious stones in the jewel on her breast
correspond with the twelve christs she bore and the twelve jewels in the
Ephod of the high priest.
The jack of hearts carries the male emblem in his hand and the three
links are on his belt to show that he is an Oddfellow in good standing.
The jack of spades holds up the three links, and the spade itself is a
patent, combination, hermaphrodite, religious emblem of sufficient magic
potency to save from the pains of Tophet all who gaze upon its sacred
and occult form. The king of hearts performs the occult and saving rite
of putting the sword or cross through the crown. This crown is adorned
with shamrocks, and on his coat he wears the seven hearts or chalices.
He belongs to the zodiacal sign of the Lion, and this is the heart sign,
and in it is found the constellation of the Chalice. And he holds his
hand on his breast like Buddha to show that he is a Mason in due form.
Rev. 7-4. The angel seals in their foreheads 144,000 Jews with the Signa
Tau or Word, the signet of the Living God. The devotees of Siva also
wear this Tree of Infamy on their foreheads. John says that it is the
Father’s name written in the forehead. Only those sealed with this Baum
Bosheth can sit with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the other beasts
around the Throne. All but the 144,000 Jews can go to Hell. The priests
draw the cross or Signa Tau in ashes on the foreheads of their devotees
every Ash Wednesday.
