King Solomon's Goat

by George Willard Bartlett

David says: “Who shall ascend into the high place of the Lord (Iach, in the original)? who shall stand in the place of his Kadishu (holy ladies)?”—Psalms, 24:3. “Solomon went to the high place of Gibeon, for there was the Tabernacle of God.”—2 Chron. 1:3. You will see that the high places were the temples of a foul worship by reference to 1 Kings, 3:3.

Yahevah is the ineffable name for which the Hebrews substituted Adonai. The Bacchantes, in their orgies or feasts of Iachus, pronounced the mystic word “Io Evohe.” Ei Eh Ei is I Am the I Am, and Ei was found inscribed on the temple of Apollo.—Plutarch, 1:14. Eidol is a doll or image of the god Ei, or Kether.

Jehovah is identical with the god Brahma. Every 4,320,000,000 years all the planets in our solar system are in conjunction. This is one day of Brahma, 365 times that is one year, and one hundred of these years is the lifetime of Brahma, then god dies, and thereafter we have to worry along without him.

The Trinity, instead of being a new revelation of the Christian religion, was taken from the trinities of the older pagan religions. The Chinese, the Hindus, the Babylonians, the Persians and the Egyptians each had a triune or hydra-headed god, a nightmare of their imagination, without foundation in nature or reason. If we have the only true religion, how is it that the Mexicans, before this country was discovered by the savages of Europe, had the trinity, the rite of baptism, the sign of the cross and purgatory. They had the tradition of the flood and the escape of Noah, and they offered as an oblation little, dough, male images of their savior as we do at the communion service.

Some claimed that the astral light or ether was the supreme god, that one portion of it was male (spirit), and the other part was female (matter), and that the living forms of matter produced by the union of these two gods, are the third person of the trinity, the son of man. Others claim that the incomprehensible god back of the ether, of which the latter is an emanation, is the supreme god, and that the spiritual portion of the ether is the Word or Son, and the material portion of the ether is the mother, and the union of the son and the mother produces the phenomenal world. This a charming family relationship eminently appropriate to our pot-pourri of superstitions, called religion.

Manu, the Hindu lawgiver, says: “The Sovereign Master, who exists through himself, divides his body into two halves, male and female, and from the union of these two principles is born Viradj, the son, or material forms.” The first name of this hermaphrodite god in the picture writing was IO.

Haeckel says that the Christian God is a gaseous vertebrate. Socrates was put to death because he did not believe in the gods and introduced new demoniacal beings (spirits).

In the Sunday American Magazine was also a picture of the Rock of Ages, in fact two pillars or Asherim or images of Asher are shown, together with two circles or groves. They were found in the ruins of Gaza. These are the idols that Abraham, David and Solomon worshipped when they hit the high places. And we still revere them and have the shafts erected over our graves and the wreaths placed upon the shafts so that we may be born again. If you do not think that Moses worshipped this rock god read Deut. 32:8. “Of the rock that begat thee thou art unmindful.” There were only seven thousand in all Israel that had not kissed the pillar.—1 Kings, 19:18.

There was also found in the ruins of Gaza an oval medallion in which stood “Horus, the strong bull, resplendent in strength.” Why is the Infant Jesus of Prague placed in an oval medallion? Why is the oval, with the Lamb in the centre thereof, placed on the front of the Infant Jesus, as it is on the front of the Virgin Mary? This picture of the Infant Jesus is a mine of esoteric symbolism. He has his name embroidered on his rich, elaborate dress, to wit, I E S. He holds up three fingers as he was taught to do when he was the infant Buddha, and on his head is the seven-rayed headdress of Buddha, the god of the seven-rayed sun.

If you have catarrh, place a medallion of the Infant Jesus on your nose, and the catarrh will disappear.—Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague, 30. A medal of the Divine Infant has been known to cure a sore thumb, if fastened in faith to the diseased member and accompanied by nine days prayer.—Idem 36. A man in financial difficulties made a novena (nine days prayer) to the Holy Child, and at the end of the devotions somebody gave him $35. Then he commenced another novena and was helped to win a prize in a lottery. Then he commenced the third novena, and Jehovah compelled a grasping mortgagee to discharge his mortgage on the devotee’s house, and another party gave him $10.—Idem 52.
