King Solomon's Goat

by George Willard Bartlett

Ch. 2, v 7 says: “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life,” which being interpreted means that the successful candidate or worthy brother will be permitted to eat the male emblem. Verse 17 says: “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,” which is a small round cake or wafer in the Mithraic Mysteries, representing the female emblem. In these Mysteries they killed a lamb or bull christ and sprinkled the candidate with its blood, as we drink the blood of Christ and eat his flesh in the depths of our beastial ignorance, superstition and depravity.

“And will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, the Word, which no man knoweth save him that receiveth it.” This stone is the symbol of Siva, and the new name is Ling, the secret, the Sanscrit name of the Word. St. Clemens says: “It is difficult to exhibit the pure and transparent Word to swinish hearers. (All are swine except the priests and ministers.) For nothing they could hear would be more ludicrous to the multitude. The truly sacred Word is deposited in the shrine (Monstrance). It is improper that these emblems should be exposed to those who have never been purified in soul. The Mysteries were established because it was wise that the holy and blessed contemplation of realities be concealed.”

In Ch. 4, v 3, the four beasts and the four and twenty elders, the angels and saints and all the other vermin in Heaven fall down and knock their foreheads on the ground, groveling in abject baseness, servility and degradation before the sardine stone or pillar that sits on the throne in the royal arch of the rainbow, and before the beast, (the bull). This lovely pillar is worshipped throughout India. You will find the above scene and this foul worship depicted in Inman’s A. P. & M. C. Symbolism, Plate XIX. John has set a foul pagan idol on the throne of Heaven.

Ch. 12, v 1. The woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, with a crown of twelve stars, is Mary, the moon goddess, the wife of the sun-god, and the crown of twelve stars are the twelve christs that she bore, or that crowned her labors in the twelve signs of the zodiac. The dragon that waited to devour the child is called Herod in the other story of Mary and Jesus. In the Hindu myth, from which this is copied, the woman fled to the wilderness, as Mary fled to Egypt. According to another astronomical legend, when the sun-god is born on the 25th of December, old King Sagittarius, the Archer or Herod, who lives in the next house (November), tries to kill the Son of God with the arrow of death.

If you refer to an astronomical chart, you will see depicted there all the gods that ever existed. In the first sign, Leo, is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the christ that came in the Golden Age, 12,934 years ago, a Jew god, that would not do a thing to you but rend you and steal your shirt.

In the sign of Gemini you see the Twins, or Castor and Pollux, or Cain and Abel, or Romulus and Remus, or Solomon and Adonijah, or Jacob and Esau. Cain has a club in his hand, with which he kills his brother god, as Romulus killed Remus and Solomon killed Adonijah. In the sign of Taurus, you will see Auriga, a Mystic of high degree kissing the goat, and Orion, the Lord of Darkness, killing the bull christ. And there is the triangle of seven stars that Christ held in his hand. This is the solar system of the Pleiades, of which the great star Alcyone is the sun, and around which the whole universe revolves. It is the Kingdom of Heaven and the home of god and his sons Jesus and the Devil.

In the sign of Aries, you see the Lamb of God and the christ Perseus, who has just amputated the Medusa’s head and destroyed the serpents of which the hair was composed. In the next sign of Pisces is the beautiful Andromeda (mother of men), or Mary, bearing the fish-god, the Son of Man, under her arm, as Isis bears it on her head. In the sign of Scorpio, you will see Christ or Orpheus overcoming the Great Serpent. And another christ, Hercules by name, holds a club in one hand and two serpents in the other, to whom, as representing the Devil or the infernal god Cerberus, he is about to administer, in the classic language of modern ministers, a good wallop.

“When the sun shall have passed through the sign of Virgo, the Great Cycle of 25,868 years will be ended. The sun then enters the sign of Leo, and this junction of Virgo and Leo, this secret of the Great Cycle, is expressed in the Sphinx of Egypt, the woman and the lion conjoined. This is the mystery of the ages, the pillar on the border of Egypt, which shall be for a sign and a testimony.”—Daughter of the Druids, 276. It is said that in that great Day Draconis will again be the pole star, and the great pyramid is so constructed that at the end of the Great Year the light from Draconis will again shine through the passage in the pyramid that leads to the Bottomless Pit, or the dragon will be cast into the Bottomless Pit.

In the sign of Virgo is the Virgin Mary, the mother of all the gods, and the Great Serpent will be seen waiting there for her to deliver another god for his consumption. Ch. 5, v 1, says that the book was sealed with seven seals, corresponding with the seven comings or avatars of Christ, when the book was opened or the word was preached. When the first seal was opened, Christ appeared as Sagittarius, the Archer. “And behold a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow.” When he had opened the third seal, behold a black horse, and he that sat thereon had a pair of balances in his hand. This is the Christ that came in the sign of Libra or the Scales, who weighed them in the balance and found them wanting.

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.
