NEW SEASON
We have changed the appearance, for Version 6. The Second-hand Book-stall is going to be a blog. Also, we are promoting the Mad Prophet. Stay tuned.
Also, we shall be giving everybody the privilege of buying our work. Stay tuned.
NEW CONTENT
As to new content, outside of the cosmetic enhancements, we offer the following:
"Second-hand Book-stall" Blog, coming soon. Because we find plenty of interesting material as we go about our day to day tasks that should be included as Second-hand Book-stall material, we shall be putting it all into a blog format. This season we are picking up the Antinomian thread, and introducing more material from the "Rennes le Chateau" "story". We have some rather interesting material that we do not see discussed elsewhere.
New Art pieces:
Did the Templars just give us Games and Banking?
This one came out in August, but is still new. We will be following this up with a series of related ads, based on the themes in the Rennes-le-Chateau and related stories, discussed all over the web.
This was produced by Antiquities of the Illuminati staffer, Captain Cook. See the ad, it is priceless. It says it all. We would only muddy it up with more words.
There is no antidote for thee Mad Prophet!
Introducing the Mad Prophet. Who is the Mad Prophet? Who knows? He shows up all over the place, not just in our own work, in our "own" words, but in the writings and words of others. Some free ebooks have been published already. A blog is on the way, in order that all Mad Prophets that exist today can get their stuff blogged. Got Reptilians?©
GREY LODGE OCCULT REVIEW ISSUE 13 IS READY!

The
Brethren of the GIFT: Introduction.

whole. This is broken down into several component parts. The most important
being the story as to how The Brethren of the GIFT and Antiquities
of the Illuminati came together. Also, the separate component entitled
'The Political Applications
of Religious Belief" is a must-read. Download it right now.

Qadosh: the Johannite Tradition Part Five: La Voie Lactée (The Milky Way)::::The Way of the Stars.
This is the final Part of Qadosh. This takes the Johannite Legend of the Templars and narrates how the Ancient Gnosis was communicated to the Templars, to the Rose+Croix, to others. This was originally planned as a smaller segment in Part Four, but grew until it became book-length. This work is about the Johannites, and who they are. It is also about the Nusairi, about the Isma'ili. About Syrian Religious traditions, going back at least to Phoenicia. This is the Authentic Tradition par excellence. Read it today. Prefatory material and Introduction available now.
Also, we have a new internet Introduction to Qadosh. Get it HERE.
That's it for new material for 22 September. Enjoy it.
FIVE YEARS AGO...
On the 22nd of December of this year, Antiquities of the Illuminati will have been online for five (count 'em, 5) years. In that time, much has happened. Personally and in the world at large. Now we are about to finish Book Two, and embark on other projects related to Antiquities of the Illuminati.
Five years ago, though, it was just a simple XOOM site, and just a few articles. Now, it is a massive website, with thousands of pages worth of material to absorb. Also, The Grey Lodge Occult Review has put us on the map. Its creator is very gifted, and serves up very choice content every time. This is no exception. Where else are you going to find "Un Chien Andalou"? I figured as much.
We've weathered various internet storms, financially and personally, and in the wars of wits among the no good shits... Not so long ago, yet it seems like forever, we were blocking Rovelli from posting his junk on our list... Similar with others, like Small Pith (spelled this way so as to avoid spam..... just exchange the P with the Sm)....... various Thelemic chest-beat sessions over the years, accidents, poverty, hard times.... it all works together though.
Now we can be glad to say that we are working with some really gifted people, and (partially responsible for) building a large-scale network of fellow-travellers and inmates on this terrestrial penal colony.
TOXICK MAGICK
You see, there is a practical side to Antiquities of the Illuminati. There always has been. Hasn't everybody caught that, yet? Is it not interesting that events transpire in real time that seem to be related to the kind of ideas being discussed in updates..... ? The Toxick Magick of Dr. Hyatt and his Black Books is excellent. It's the kind of work we've been doing for years and years. I know, comparisons comparisons... The work we do here is like a DJ. We mix texts. Ideas. These are our mixes. Get the groove and enjoy it!
Also more promotion for the Black Book Series and The Mad Prophet are in order, and will be featured throughout the Version Six season.
FROM THE PAST
From The Magical Record, Volume Five, Division Three.
Mon 26 Apr. 93 c.e. 10:30 am.
It is clearly reasonable to posit the assumption that the group of persons categorized as "Essenes" are identical to certain other sects in the Secret Tradition.
The book, "The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception" offers, on p. 174, the orthography of the elusive word "Essene" which is Greek and not Hebrew.
A Hebrew rendering of the word or its equivalent is Nozrei ha-Brit. See the Habakkuk commentaries.
This, by association of letters in the Semitic languages bears a relation to the Name Nosairi: the name of a sect located from the Lebanon to the Turkish border.
Now, this is interesting. For this, we must research the matter in the work in our possession which refers to them: The Treasure of Montsegur: The Secret of the Cathars, by Walter Birks and R. A. Gilbert. Chapters 13, 14, and Epilog.
But first, the note on the QBL at the head of this section that NOZRI = 273 = ABN MASU HBUNYS = The Stone Which the Builders Rejected figures heavily in Masonic and Grail legends and this is reflected (at least in the case of the Grail or Chalice of Light) in the Epilogue to Birks and Gilbert.
On page 152 in the Epilogue, we find that Pliny and Jerome speak of Nazarenes in the area and that there is some evidence that these people were called Galileans. The core of the religion is described as Pagan.... etc. NOTE: The Arabic for "Christians" is Nasrani.
It is also offered that this sect's core is a tradition that predates the Greeks, Christians and Moslems.
This indicates to me that these same Nosairis which exist to this day in large numbers are one of the remnants of the True Secret Tradition, whose other brances include the Yezidis, the Sufis, the Cathars, the Knights Templars and original Brothers of the R+C.
The Yezidis exist, the Gnostics sects, etc. We must develop this in a diagram to show the historical succession of the Secret Tradition over the past 2,000 years.
If we are to look at the Yezidis as a part of this Tradition, we then must recognize the truth concerning the use of certain names whose meanings and whose worship constitutes infamy in the hearts of the majority of scholars, and for this reason is it never to be spoken of in the Yezidi sect. That name is Shaitan.
It is said, further, that the Yezidis speak in a language that, though somewhat related to the Semitic dialects, is more akin to Enochian.
Now in the Hebrew usage of the name Satan, it must be stressed N times to the centillionth power that this use was as a title or as an appellation, such as is the case in modern day Islam. A Satan is an adversary or enemy in much the same way that an Osiris is a dead man in Egyptian Ritual and a Horus is a living man, etc.
In the case of the Dead Sea Scrolls it is evident that the people who wrote these texts used the names Satan, Belial, Kittim, et al in the same way.
The Roman Empire, nay: the EMPIRE, no matter what time or place or age, was always referred to as SATAN but SATAN was not referred to as a corporeal being in the way that the Christians mistakenly have rendered it.
This is important in dealing with the history of Gods, Religions, Nations, Races, Languages, Cultures, Tribes, and Peoples.
Yezidis (YTzIDI=124) (124 = ChUSA = an oak or hardness, which can be associated also by association, to DRUID = Oak, also note DRUSE (which we must research) because the Druses were related to the Nosairis and the Yezidis.
All Glory BE to Melek-Taus the Peacock Angel!
See A History of Secret Societies, Chapter 15, pp. 141-155. See also LaVey, The Satanic Rituals, pp. 151-172 (Pilgrims of the Age of Fire: The Statement of Shaitan).
Nesta Webster's SECRET SOCIETIES and SUBVERSIVE MOVEMENTS, pp. 43-44, and E S Miller's Occult Theocracy, pp. 131-2, and 138-9.
By now it will be clear that an association is beginning to be drawn linking these sects to that most formidable: The Assassins. And the Assassins are the contemporaries and allies with the K. T., and if we take the writings of Godfrey Higgins to the letter in Anacalypsis, Volume I, Book X, and Appendix, we have a connection going all the way to Kashmir, which has also been echoed by E. v. Daniken in Pathways to the Gods......
***
It all relates, because we, like A. E. Waite, who saw but a fraction of the true truth, are seeking to produce an unbroken tradition -- Secret Tradition -- and Legitimate at that, in our Quest for the Undermining and Undoing of the Falsehood and Stain that is known to the world as the Religions of the Book.
CURRENT EVENTS?
France for President.
Since the Republicans don't like the French, or France, or at least since Rudy Giuliani doesn't, we had to offer an alternate candidate for the 2004 Election: France for President! See the bumper sticker? Feel free to rip it and put it every where.
This has got to be the lowest yet, this election gig. A lot of us thought we were being conned 4 years ago, and this makes Hymie the Robot seem superior now. Hell, makes Nixon look superior too. And Harding. Taft? Hmm... You get the picture.
Stay tuned for our TV Dinner editorial, coming before the Election event.
THE STORY...
Last year, we surveyed various traditions that brought us to a very Antinomian theme, and these influences were embodied into the various High Grade traditions in European Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and the Illuminati. Particularly in the Illuminati.
This year we are writing about the various groups that are named Nusairi - Nosairi - Ansyreh - Nozrei - and so forth. These are Johannites, and connected to the Gnosis that Fabre Palaprat claimed as the ancestry for his French Templars in the Johannite Legend of the Templars.
Perhaps we should write more here, to get people interested, but we recommend people read the material we offer.
CONCLUDING
To conclude, then, we hope that you enjoy the present season of Antiquities of the Illuminati. There's plenty for all interested in the particular Story we are telling.
