It is quite natural, therefore, to find a French writer, D’Anselme, applying the same terms of ἀξιόχερσος and ἀξιόχερσα to Jehovah and his word, and they are correctly so applied. For if the “circle dance” prescribed by the Amazons for the Mysteries—being the “circle dance” of the planets, and characterised as “the motion of the divine Spirit carried on the waves of the great Deep”—can now be called “infernal” and “lascivious” when performed by the Pagans, then the same epithets ought to be applied to David’s dance;(585) and to the dance of the daughters of Shiloh,(586) and to the leaping of the prophets of Baal;(587) they were all identical and all belonged to Sabæan worship. King David’s dance, during which he uncovered himself before his maid‐servants in a public thoroughfare, saying: I will _play_ (act wantonly) before יהוה (Jehovah), and I will yet be more vile than this, was certainly more reprehensible than any “circle dance” during the Mysteries, or even than the modern Râsa Mandala in India,(588) which is the same thing. It was David who introduced Jehovistic worship into Judea, after sojourning so long among the Tyrians and Philistines, where these rites were common. David knew nothing of Moses; and if he introduced the Jehovah‐ worship, it was not in its monotheistic character, but simply as that of one of the many (_Kabirean_) gods of the neighbouring nations, a tutelary deity of his own, יהוה to whom he had given the preference—whom he had chosen among “all other (Kabeiri) gods,”(589) and who was one of the “associates,” Chabir, of the Sun. The Shakers dance the “circle dance” to this day when turning round for the Holy Ghost to move them. In India it is Nârâ‐yana who is “the mover on the waters;” and Nârâyana is Vishnu in his secondary form, and Vishnu has Krishna for an Avatâra, in whose honour the “circle dance” is still enacted by the Nautch‐girls of the temples, he being the Sun‐God and they the planets as symbolised by the gopis. Let the reader turn to the works of De Mirville, a Roman Catholic writer, or to _Monumental Christianity_, by Dr. Lundy, a Protestant divine, if he wants to appreciate to any degree the subtlety and casuistry of their reasonings. No one ignorant of the occult versions can fail to be impressed with the proofs brought forward to show how cleverly and perseveringly “Satan has worked for long millenniums to tempt a humanity” unblessed with an infallible Church, in order to have himself recognised as the “One living God,” and his fiends as holy Angels. The reader must be patient, and study with attention what the author says on behalf of his Church. To compare it the better with the version of the Occultists, a few points may be quoted here verbatim.
