777 and the Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley's book 777 has to be one of the best works of it's kind and is actually a compilation of three of his other books on the Qabalah. Crowley starts off with with an essay on Gematria that is the art of rendering words into numbers for the desired result. However in Crowley's true style 777 is full of wit and intentional errors, Crowley being an avid reader of mystery novels appears to write his own works in the same style, all the information is there to piece the jigsaw together it's just up to you the reader to figure the plot out so it seems!
The second chapter in the book was originally published by itself as Liber 777 and contains pages of Qabalistic associations and attributions and this is the only known resource to have survived the the collapse of the The Golden Dawn and is an invaluable resource in this respect.
The final chapter is Sepher Sephiroth and is a Qabalistic encyclopaedia that was originally started by Allan Benett and expanded upon by Crowley himself and others throughout the course, All the entries are in numerological order and not alphabetical, making this a very quick reference guide for anyone interested in Gematria, It is quite an easy task to render the Gematria value of any Greek or Hebrew word and then consult the Sepher Sepiroth for matching phrases and words containing the same value, however it does contain different dialects of Hebrew mixed throughout the book and the entries at times do appear to be contradictory at times.
Overall 777 is an excellent reference guide on Qabalistic attributions and is really essential on any occultist's bookshelf.

Occultists And Secret Societies

Who is or are occultists? This is a person or a group of people brought together by a strong will of control in a certain belief of power whether tradition, religious or scientific. Occultists have existed since ancient times with various missions or objectives. Incidentally, when you hear of the word occultists, what will run into your mind would rather be the term secret societies. This is because just like occultists, secret societies are made up of people within one inner circle and the activities they undertake are indefinitely concealed from the public. What differentiates secrete societies that may be connected with the term occultists is in the fact that there are ceremonies that have to be undertaken before one becomes a member. This ceremonies or tests could be undertaken dependence on an individual's survival interest in the group. For example, in secret societies one of the tests to a person whose duty is probably to kill or execute certain groups of people would be to make a random killing of any person he may think of. Besides these tests, there is also oath taking which is another significance of an occult secret society.
Madam Blavatsky was a famous traveler and writer who is said to have contributed heavily in several western subcultures. Back in the year 1873, she collaborated Henry Steel to bring about the Theosophical society which was established in the city of New York despite Madam Blavatsky going to the extents of establishing this secret organization in the United States, it is said that the headquarters were set in India around 1882. Madam Blavatsky is one of the many occultists that had various motives for starting these secret organizations. Did you know that Madam Blavatsky was so influential in this society that after her death her ashes had to be divided amongst the three divisions of the occult? These were the New York City, Adjar in India and London! Her death is usually celebrated by this group as the day of the white lotus.
Another influential occult leader was Aleister Crowley who also went by the name the great beast. Aleister Crowley started out as a ceremonial magician before going ahead to founding Thelema a religious occult group. He took the initiative of making himself a prophet who would later inform people on the coming of natural calamities and other disasters that were a threat to mankind back in the early 20th century. Adam Weishaupt the Jesuit who founded the Illuminati movement has been recorded as one of the most influential occult leaders and founders of all time. Although Aleister Crowley achievements subside with Adam's, it can be realized they all had different objectives towards their enlightenment's. What follows is a list of the top ten secret societies or occults of all time which were started by occultists who had secret agendas.
  • The order of skull and bone where one of the members was George Bush senior that was also known as the brotherhood of death founded back in the year 1947.
  • The freemasons who were religious protectors and are well known for using signs, handshakes and corded messages while communicating.

  • Rosicrucian order which was primarily a group of German believers during the publishing of three famous documents.

  • Aleister Crowley greatly influenced the former Masonic group order of the temple of the east to exercise the Thelema law of love.

  • The hermetic order which can also be referenced as the golden dawn created by William Goodman also broke from the Masonic group. It is also said that the group may or may not have been influenced by the temple of the east laws.

  • We can never forget about the order of the Knights Templar, this is a group or club that borrows the ideals from the medieval Knights Templar, this group was formed back in the 12th century. The differentiating factor is that you cannot become a member of you are not a Christian mason.

  • The Illuminati, the group that should never be forgotten when talking about occultism. This is because even up to date they have been tied with managing certain governments.

  • Other groups that have been inducted into the hall of fame of hoax are the opus dei, priory of scion and the bilderberg meeting.

Basilicata - the Esoteric Triangle

The destiny of the human race has been in the hands of secret societies for ages, who dominate us and continue to foretell and plan our futures.
Understand that their goals are not the ones we see manifest, rather excuses to obtain the others, the goals they keep hidden.
Acerenza, an unknown land proven to be one of the most important centers for secret society conspiracies in southern Italy. This town and several other towns in the region of Basilicata known as Lucania until 1300, were inhabited by many significant historical figures that played vital roles in these conspiracies.
As we've discovered the main headquarters was in Acerenza. Sooner or later, connections will be plain to see, along the towns in the province of Potenza which were influenced by Masonic activities and practices. These connections were never written in books; never realized by any human being.
Recent discoveries prove that the birth of the secretive organization of the Templar Knights began in Acerenza by a Norman-Italian and not a Frenchmen notably; Hugues de Payen.
In this Italian region of Lucania you'll witness clues left behind by some of the very first secret societies in history. This may open your eyes to the coming of the third pre-meditated World War.
During the Magna Grecian period of 500 B.C. Pythagoras was opening his esoteric school in Metapontum located by the sea 37miles from Acerenza where members had to be sworn in. Pythagoras aspired to create superior humans, demy-gods or half manhalf god. Spiritual rituals were performed in hopes of arriving at this relevant spirit. Pythagoras also realized that knowledge was not enough and that one needed the adapted spirit of serenity to achieve this therefore; purification of the spirit. Only then would one receive the knowledge needed to become god-like.
Pythagorean days consisted of; chanting, meditation, planning, studying, exercise, and nourishment. The 'Pythagorean brotherhood' was one of the world's earliest unpriestly cooperative scientific societies.
There was a revolt against the cult. Pythagoras and Masonic cult members were brutally slaughtered in Metaponto. Pythagoras was viewed by the people as the God Apollo, a god of prophecy, music and healing and his corpse had mystically disappeared. One like this is usually given a proper burial or plaque Maybe his body was confiscated and hidden in a sacred place, as many saint's bodies were could that place be Lucania?
It's no secret that the Normans had been conquesting Italy since the beginning of the 11th century. They battled for power, for territories, with the Papacy, the Byzantines, Arabs, the Longobardi and other tribes who occupied lands in Italy.
The Romans had conquered Acerenza in 318 B.C. and built a temple dedicated to the Roman God; Hercules. It was build upon an antique temple once dedicated to "Heracles" (Son of Zeus) which existed in the time of Pythagoras.
In 799, Bishop Leo built a cathedral in that same location and dedicated it to the mysterious Saint Canione-a Gaelic-Irish Druid who died in 395. This name "Canione" is derived from "Canion" which means "Superb Watcher," a ritual name with precise position of a "watcher;" and an important relic.
Then in 1061, Robert Guiscard confiscated the cathedral, and gave it to the Normans. From here, much is to be told.
During that same year, Guiscard swore his fidelity to the church of Rome and Godano, a Benedictine Norman (French) Monk, friend of Guiscard, who writes up this agreement and happens to be the Bishop of Acerenza and a monk from Cluny, France.
A year later Arnould de Chiny, a Benedictine Norman-Irish Monk and Cathedral constructor, becomes Archbishop of Acerenza and envisions the church as a "symbol of strength" reconstructing it according to the "Traditional Rules," "The Secret Knowledge," learnt at the Benedictine School in Ireland. This was to conserve an antique knowledge that was passed on and saved by Benedictine monks.
In 1080 the church was finished, but strange unusual symbols remained replacing genuine Catholic ones. In the 1930's, a statue of Emperor Guiliano L'Apposta replaced a cross on the steeple of the cathedral; he was an enemy to Christianity and fought to restore Paganism! He opposed the Catholic Church, tendencies we may expect in modern-day secret societies.
The main entrance of the Acerenza cathedral is guarded by two gargoyles instead of angels. But the most phenomenal part about it is the church's strange blueprint dimensions. This cathedral is proven to have used a Sacred Geometry. A perfect replica of the geometry was used in the construction of the Temple of Solomon. Hiram, another secret society member, founded the sacred geometry (referred to as the "Golden Section") and used it in his works to build the Temple of Solomon; he believed that ...all science is but measurement and by that measurement the secrets of nature are unveiled.
By ways of the "Golden Section" and magical measurements of 20 x 60, in Egyptian cubits which God gave to Solomon to use in constructing the temple. This was meant to house the Arch of Alliance a container for the tabloids of the Ten Commandments. When this Norman church was finished; Arnould's vision had come to pass at last.
The Cathedral of Acerenza is located in Glinni Square, another Irish-Gaelic name which pops up in this faraway place in southern Italy. It's the only one of its kind in the world; this is what this discovery proves. With its ingenious dimensions, its every aspect refers to this sacred geometry, the one Pythagoras believed in. The most important factor is that the entire cathedral in Acerenza was built in perfect coalition to this sacred geometry of God. This information has been forever sought after. This sacred geometry was hidden for more than 900 years, and had just recently been discovered in Acerenza. But one thing is for sure; this method of construction was not made for the average client who wanted a simple church built!
Who told the builder about these sacred dimensions when the Temple of Solomon was built way before Christ? Why did they use these dimensions for this cathedral? What was so special about it?
Why did this particular church have the high honours of being built using such an ancient geometry?
Another peculiarity; the cathedral contains one window that is higher than all the rest. Odd. An extreme peculiarity that the window across from it allows its rays to join forces right in the heart of the church only on the 25th of May. This is when Acerenza celebrates the death of Saint Canione. This is another new discovery and there are others.
There's more. Inside the cathedral, in the subterranean crypt, a black window leads to nowhere, but to pitch blackness. What was on the other side that was all walled up? Why does the metal detector go wild in this zone of the cathedral?
The cathedral's construction was organized by Arnould de Chiny many centuries following Pythagoras and his colleges. Arnould was the leader of the oldest and most powerful secret society; the Priory of Sion.
Maybe to the residents of Acerenza nothing had seemed to look out of sorts, but behind the scenes powerful orders were developing indeed.
It's a question of power and control. The Papacy had power and control, and so did the Normans.
So, what could be better than for them to join forces?
Pope Urban II was rescued from the Emperor of Germany; Enrich IV. He was transported to Banzi, a Benedictine Norman Monastery 20 km from Acerenza by Boamudus Hauteville and Arnould de Chiny from Acerenza.
Pope Urban II was a Catholic Pope. Together with Guiscard's son Boamudus Hauteville; they had brilliantly strategized the entire battle of the Holy War during the six years they lived together in Banzi. It was a brutal unnecessary war that lasted almost two hundred years. Meanwhile, Banzi witnessed another incredible happening; the little rendezvous developed one of the oldest and most powerful secret societies in the world. The evidence is in the symbol of Acerenza; it's the symbol of the confraternity of the Priory of Sion. Could they have been the beginnings of the Priory?
Their goals are not the ones we see manifest, rather excuses to obtain the others, the goals they keep in secret.
The Holy War was an excuse. The Holy War was conspired between 1088 and 1095-though their true target was not the Muslims, but the conquesting of the Roman Ruled Empire Constanopoli in Asia. Their claim was the protecting of innocent civilians, and to deal with the Muslim faith, which was the wrong faith according to them. They wanted to convert the second half of the empire into the Roman Catholic Religion; to be the only true religion in the world-it couldn't appear to be nobler.
Arnould's second objective was to find the Arch of Alliance and bring it back to Acerenza. In this way, the Norman church would have become the most influential church in the world.
Many powerful events took place or were conjured up in Lucania, and never stated in History books; either because no one knew about them, or because they were never intended to be documented.
A NEW WORLD ORDER WAS IN THE MAKING!
In 1117, a Norman-Italian Knight born in Forenza, near Acerenza, became the founder and leader of the Order of the Templar Knights; a powerful secret society that followed the Priory of Sion. History states that Hugo di Pagano was from France, but the information gathered through the years are no longer holding water. Documents and clues recently found in Lucania are indicators that he was truly the Grand Maestro of the Templars and he was; Italian. The real shock will eventually hit. The original founder of the Order Ugo de Pagani was not from Champagne, France. Ugo signed his name in various of documents found with the Italian spelling.
The history of the Templar Knights as we knew it started out as few as nine people, but grew into thousands in a very short time. The story made history, but this historical story had been miscalculated. Today, secret societies are no different than that first powerful force born in Acerenza, in the year of 1117. Docments prove this.
Clues of the Templar's presence in Lucania range from numerous bas relief's portraying pagan figures to detailed frescoes that wallpaper churches, caves and crypts all located in the province of Potenza. They consist of red Templar crosses, signs and symbols of the Holy Grail. The artist who painted them was a masterful artist of the Templar Knights. The Templars began to plan for their serge into power by offering protection to noble families afterwards they multiplied.
Protection can be another word for control
Why bring up the Templars? Because they were the beginning of a series of secret societies, that still continue today. Their original goal was to find the Arch of Alliance, the container holding the tabloids of the Ten Commandments and bring it back to Acerenza. It was to be used in creating the New World Order.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT HISTORY COULD BE CHANGED?
This entire Italian region of Lucania is marked with clues leading directly back to the Templar Knights, but that's not all. We find more of a peculiar nature in Lucania.
Secret societies snowballed into different groups, but the Templars eventually disappeared out of sight; a massacre took place ordered by the Pope. The remaining members became the Antoniani's and eventually the Masons, whose mission sent them to Ethiopia in search to find the "Arch of Alliance." Italy formed the Antoniani, Scotland transformed into the Masons, and Portugal into Knights of Christ.
Times have changed, but secret societies have not.
They continue in their thirst for power.
General Pike, a member of the secret society "Illuminati," and a 33° Freemason later on, wrote letters reporting to Giuseppe Mazzini, a revolutionist in Italy, with exact details of the last two World Wars and surprisingly of a third. This one was planned to be fought against the Muslims. This has already begun.
These antique letters were written in 1871, and were not predictions, but arranged plans. Today they are conserved in the British Museum in London. The Illuminati was formed in Bavaria in 1776, by Adam Weishaupt. He planned to transform this organization into Freemasonry, using the secrecy of the Masonic lodges to recruit members from the Illuminati. His plan was to create a secret organization that would control the world behind the scenes, in benefits for humanity. This required the forming of a communist one-world government. In order to do this, he would have to create wars, abolish religion, and many people would have to die in the process.
NOT A SINGLE WAR HAS BEEN COINCIDENTAL
The New World Order shall be carried out, thus the continuance in Iraq and Iran?
In 1784, a German linguist named Munter went to Acerenza Italy. He belonged to the "Illuminati" of Baviera and was on a secret mission to reorganize the Masonic lodge of the Orient in Naples. This lodge was founded by the last grand maestro of the Templars-Jacque de Molais, the first to die in Paris 1312. Jacque established four lodges: Edinburgh, Stockholm, Paris and the one in Naples. Their goal was to destroy the King and the Pope. Munter met with Joseph Glinni known as Ottoman Glinni from Acerenza and Mario Pagano, a friend and follower of Joseph Glinni. He died mysteriously in that same year after having burnt several important documents. Mario Pagano died in 1799 a martyr in the Neapolitan Revolution. He was betrayed by Horatio Nelson and Lady Hamilton.

Ancient Celtic Culture

The ancient Celtic warriors engaged their enemy as if they would defeat them simply by overrunning them, trusting their brute force more than elaborate tactics and clever strategies. War and warfare definitely played an important role in their ancient society. The end of ancient Celtic culture came when Ireland was Christianized in the 5th century BC, followed by Scotland soon after.
The word Druid, referring to the learned class in ancient Celtic society, may itself have come from the word for "knowing or finding the oak tree" and their early gatherings took place in clearings in the forest. Although there is no direct connection between the Tree of Life motif used to symbolize Christ in the illustrated manuscripts and the importance of the tree to ancient Celtic Druids, it is interesting to speculate that the image, if not the concept, has resonated for centuries in Celtic thought and design. There symbols are usually visual representations of many of their ancient customs and beliefs that date back to as early as 3000 BC. The Druids have a startling kinship with the Brahmans of the Hindu religion and were, indeed, a parallel development from their common Introduction European cultural root which began to branch out probably five thousand years ago.
Ancient Celtic art has two distinctive styles. It has been only in recent decades that scholars have begun to reveal the full extent of the parallels and cognates between ancient Celtic society and Vedic culture. They were the intellectual caste of this society, incorporating all the professions, judges, lawyers, medical doctors, ambassadors, historians and so forth, just as does the Brahman caste.
There were 7 Celtic Sea nations, or places where the ancient peoples lived on the shores of this ancient sea. Brittany, by the sea in Southern France, is one of those ancient Celtic Sea nations. Their philosophy indicates that existence arose from the inter play between darkness and light, night and day, cold and warmth, death and life, and that the passage of years was the alternation of dark periods winter, beginning November 1 and light periods summer, starting May 1.
In Mythology, while differing from area to area, centers on the concepts of nature, growth, and reproduction. Sinann was a goddess in ancient Celtic mythology associated with the river Shannon which is named after her. The search for wisdom was usually made by a woman who found it in a river or well. The magic cauldron of ancient Celtic mythology becomes the Holy Grail. Three was a sacred number in ancient Celtic mythology and religion. The connection between elves and the hill on which Kortirion is built recalls the importance of green hills in ancient Celtic mythology where they were regarded as the entrance to the shee, the Otherworld where the immortals dwell.
The beautiful, rare and unusual authentic ancient coins, jewelry and artifacts. Solid silver Celtic coin with a horse on one side, symbols on the other. Many Roman and Egyptian coins. http://www.worldwidestore.com/35494c.htm

Nostradamus Prophecies Linked to the Nazca Lines

Michel Nostradamus, history's most famous prophet, died in southern France in the late sixteenth century. The lines of Nazca are one of archaeology's greatest mysteries and were created nearly a thousand years earlier on a faraway continent. A direct connection between the two is surely impossible, no? "To the contrary, it's highly possible," says Morten St. George, author of a Nostradamus decoding book called Incantation of the Law Against Inept Critics: A Guide to Cryptic Thinking.
St. George's sensational decoding breakthrough was discovering that more than a half dozen of the Nostradamus prophecies cover, with extreme accuracy and detail, major historical events of an Andean people known as the Incas. "The prophecies in question stand among the easiest to decode. No one ever did so because no one ever imagined that Nostradamus could be prophesying about such things." Moreover, in a couple of those prophecies, the author displays signs of emotion over the future dire plight of the Andean people, implying that there was direct contact if not a bond of friendship.
A reaffirmation comes in the first line of prophecy VI-2, which reads "In the year 580 more or less." Interpreters normally assume poetic license to add a thousand years. "Not necessary," says St. George. "580 are correct as it stands. Prophecy VIII-76, internally claiming to signal the time of authorship, recounts in detail known historical events occurring in England around 580 A.D." Meanwhile, it seems the people of Nazca used wooden stakes to mark out their lines, and archaeologists, using radiocarbon dating techniques, have determined that they began their grandiose project in the Peruvian desert around 580 A.D.
Does this mean that the Nazca runways were landing strips for ancient astronauts? "No again," says St. George. "There is no archaeological record of any spacecraft; the alien used only a spacesuit and two hand-held devices, which evidently provided it with navigational and propulsion powers, to fly around, freestyle, like Superman." Then, says St. George, the flying alien went away, and the people of Nazca made those lines to attract its attention, to entertain it, to entice it to return, and to guide it on its return to Nazca. But the alien never came back. Instead, on the other side of the world, it left humankind another type of legacy.
More information on this theme can be found on Morten St. George's Cryptic Thinking Official Site. This website backs up the claim of ancient astronauts with archaeological depictions of the alleged author of the Inca prophecies, Incan archaeoastronomy and cosmology Sun Disk, and extensive illustrations of St. George's decoding techniques including data potentially useful for SETI astronomers.
