    An Introduction to the History of Khazaria

    "The Khazar people were an unusual phenomenon for Medieval times. Surrounded by savage and nomadic tribes, they had all the advantages of the developed countries: structured government, vast and prosperous trading, and a permanent army. At the time, when great fanatism and deep ignorance contested their dominion over Western Europe, the Khazar state was famous for its justice and tolerance. People persecuted for their faiths flocked into Khazaria from everywhere. As a glistening star it shone brightly on the gloomy horizon of Europe, and faded away without leaving any traces of existence." - Vasilii V. Grigoriev, in his essay "O dvoystvennosti verkhovnoy vlasti u khazarov" (1835), reprinted in his 1876 compilation book Rossiya i Aziya on page 66

    Moloch — LessWrong

    Moloch is the personification of the forces that coerce competing individuals to take actions which, although locally optimal, ultimately lead to situations where everyone is worse off. Moreover, no individual is able to unilaterally break out of the dynamic. The situation is a bad Nash equilibrium. A trap. It happens when "In some competition optimizing for X, the opportunity arises to throw some other value under the bus for improved X. Those who take it prosper. Those who don’t take it die out. Eventually, everyone’s relative status is about the same as before, but everyone’s absolute status is worse than before. The process continues until all other values that can be traded off have been – in other words, until human ingenuity cannot possibly figure out a way to make things any worse." - Scott Alexander One example of a Molochian dynamic is a Red Queen race between scientists who must continually spend more time writing grant applications just to keep up with their peers doing the same. Through unavoidable competition, they have all lost time while not ending up with any more grant money. And any scientist who unilaterally tried to not engage in the competition would soon be replaced by one who still does. If they all promised to cap their grant writing time, everyone would face an incentive to defect. The topic of Moloch receives a formal treatment in the sequence Inadequate Equilibria, particularly in the chapter Moloch's Toolbox. Origin Scott Alexander  linked the name to the concept in his eponymous post, Meditations on Moloch.  The post intersperses lines of Allan Ginsberg's poem, Howl, with multiples examples of the dynamic including: the Prisoner's Dilemma, dollar auctions, fish farming story, Malthusian trap, capitalism, two-income trap, agriculture, arms races, races to the bottom, education system, science, and government corruption and corporate welfare. From Allan Ginsberg's Howl: > What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls

    Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

    Lawrence of Arabia (1962) is the filmic retelling of Britishman T. E. Lawrence's heroic, autobiographical account of his own Arabian adventure, published in "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" (originally published with the title Revolt in the Desert). The cinematic "men's film" (with first-time screenwriter Robert Bolt's screenplay) is a superb character study of a compelling cult hero, who exhibits homo-erotic tendences in his relationship with Arab blood brother Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif), a dark personal nature, and an obsession with Arabia itself.

    What is the anti-gravity weapon 'Die Glocke' that is rumored to have been developed by the Nazis? - GIGAZINE

    Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler , had a high degree of scientific power, but that aspect was particularly emphasized in the fields of fiction, occultism, and conspiracy theory, ' there is a Nazi UFO base beneath Antarctica. ' There is even a theory such as. Mark Felton, a military historian and writer, about the rumor of the secret weapon 'Die Glocke ', which is said to have been developed by the Nazis and is said to be 'an aircraft incorporating alien technology' and 'a time machine that twists gravity and space-time.' Mr. summarizes. Die Glocke --Hitler's Anti-Gravity Machine? --YouTube Some occult enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists have whispered that 'the Nazi Guards (SS) developed anti-gravity weapons at the end of World War II.' There is also a theory that 'the Nazis were able to teleport between dimensions' and 'escaped to the moon when the crisis was imminent.' It is said that this weapon is called 'Die Glocke' (German for 'bell') in the media and the Internet. Felton, who made the video, does not believe this theory, but as a historian he decided to explore the background. Behind the spread of the super-weapon rumor called Die Glocke is the fact that 'Germany during World War II had excellent scientists and engineers who actually developed amazing machines and weapons.' there is. The world's first jet fighter, the Messerschmitt Me262 , which was deployed in combat ... Rocket interceptor Ba 349 V1 flying bomb with pulse jet engine The Nazis have developed a variety of weapons, including the V2 rocket , the world's first ballistic missile. V1 flying bombs and V2 rockets were manufactured at the factory ( Mittelwerk ) inside the Mittelbau-Dora Confinement Camp, which was built by excavating a hill. It is said that the weapon manufacturing factory wrapped in such a secret has become a good soil to spread the rumor that the Nazis were secretly developing super weapons. Die Glocke became widely known in the 2000 book ' Prawda o Wunderwaffe' (The Truth About The Wonder Weapon) and in 2001 ' The Hunt'. 'for Zero Point ' mentioned Die Glocke. In these books, an SS officer named Hans Kammler is said to have been involved in the development or management of Die Glocke. Kamler disappeared in May 1945, just before the end of the war, and has not been witnessed since then. Kamlar is said to have developed a bell-shaped anti-gravity weapon (Die Glocke), and it is said that an unknown substance 'Zeram 525' was used as fuel for the weapon. The Die Glocke is said to have been made of ceramic 12 to 14 feet high, 9 feet in diameter and 3 inches thick, with large sides. It is said that Haken Kreuz was engraved. However, since no documents have been found regarding Die Glocke, it is not clear what kind of weapon Die Glocke actually was. Felton points out that it is unusual for the Nazis, who had many documents in paper. Polish writer Igor Witkowski, author of 'Prawda o Wunderwaffe,' based on the testimony of 'a Polish intelligence officer who was able to interrogate the SS involved in the development of Die Glocke and see top secret material.' He is introducing Die Glocke. Among those allegedly involved in the development of Die Glocke is the German theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg . Heisenberg is known to have been a member of the German nuclear bomb development team during World War II. After the war, Heisenberg was cross-examined by the Allies, but did not talk about Die Glocke. From the end of World War II to the postwar period, the United States carried out Operation Paperclip, which brought excellent German scientists to the United States ... There is a theory that Die Glocke was brought to the United States along with this. Not only did the Nazis develop a variety of high-tech weapons during the war, but they were also portrayed as 'villains who developed superweapons' in various fictions after the war, making it easier for people to believe in weapons like Die Glocke. There is a possibility that it has become. Also, Die Glocke is whispered as an 'anti-gravity weapon', but there are rumors that some organizations are still studying anti-gravity even today. For example, there is a theory that NASA is studying antigravity, and in 1992, a Russian researcher named Eugene Podkletnov published a paper on 'gravity blocking device' using a superconducting disk. In addition, Boeing and BAE Systems, a British defense, information security and aerospace company, are also whispered to be working on antigravity research. However, it has not been reported that an anti-gravity device has been realized even at the time of writing an article in which science and technology have made remarkable progress since World War II. According to Dr. Felton, one of the 'evidences' that believers in Die Glocke's existence is the ' Kecksburg UFO Incident ' that occurred on December 9, 1965. In the evening of December 9, 1965, a large fireball fell in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania ... It is whispered that the crashed object was a bell-shaped UFO, and there are local objects that reproduce the crashed object. Believers in Die Glocke speculate that the Kecksburg UFO incident may have occurred during the Die Glocke test. It is said that the crash in the Kecksburg UFO incident was the artificial satellite Kosmos 96 , which was launched by the Soviet Union in 1965 but could not escape the orbit around the earth, but the truth is unknown. Dr. Felton, who has introduced various rumors and backgrounds about Die Glocke, does not believe this theory and says, 'If Adolf Hitler had anti-gravity weapons, why did they lose the war? Is it? ' He said that if there was a project to make a bell-shaped weapon like Die Glocke, it might have been involved in the development of an atomic bomb.

    CERN discovers 'satanic human sacrifice' taking place in Large Hadron Collider grounds

    A SATANIC human sacrifice has been staged in the grounds of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern), the home of the Large Hadron Collider.

    When caught, they simply said “oh it’s a silly little prank!” Much like how they explain away Bohemian grove, where they were literally burning effigies to Moloch. 


    Worth noting that April 23, 2022 they turned CERN back on, which was the first time in over 100 years Saturn, Mars, Venus and Jupiter form a straight line behind the moon....is the CERN Hadron collider a tool by the elites trying to open a portal?

    Genesis 21:8–34 - Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar | Christian Library

    The life of Abraham must have changed completely when Ishmael was born. Suddenly it became Abraham and Ishmael; Ishmael and Abraham; father and son; son and father. I am sure that on many afternoons Abraham could be heard saying, “Let the servants do the work; I’m going to spend time with my son. Sometimes the emphasis would be on the “my” and other times on the “son.” Abraham was truly happy in the birth of Isaac, but the love he had for Ishmael did not diminish in any way just because Sarah had given birth. Ishmael was still Abraham’s son. Any parent who has more than one child knows that there is love enough for all of them. While Isaac was being weaned, Abraham still spent his hours with Ishmael. After all, you cannot do a lot of hunting or fishing with an infant.

    Male Microchimerism in the Human Female Brain

    In humans, naturally acquired microchimerism has been observed in many tissues and organs. Fetal microchimerism, however, has not been investigated in the human brain. Microchimerism of fetal as well as maternal origin has recently been reported in the mouse brain. In this study, we quantified male DNA in the human female brain as a marker for microchimerism of fetal origin (i.e. acquisition of male DNA by a woman while bearing a male fetus). Targeting the Y-chromosome-specific DYS14 gene, we performed real-time quantitative PCR in autopsied brain from women without clinical or pathologic evidence of neurologic disease (n = 26), or women who had Alzheimer’s disease (n = 33). We report that 63% of the females (37 of 59) tested harbored male microchimerism in the brain. Male microchimerism was present in multiple brain regions. Results also suggested lower prevalence (p = 0.03) and concentration (p = 0.06) of male microchimerism in the brains of women with Alzheimer’s disease than the brains of women without neurologic disease. In conclusion, male microchimerism is frequent and widely distributed in the human female brain.

    Exactly Why Jesus Christ is NOT a Jew | Christogenea.org

    This recording has been appended to the Christogenea Saturdays program for January 27th, 2018. It merits this separate posting. What if Jesus were descended from the Israelite tribe of Judah, as the Scripture says that He is? Well, of course He is, because the Scriptures do not lie. But what if the people known as Jews today were NOT of the tribe of Judah? Nor even of Benjamin or Levi? Then how could Jesus possibly be a Jew? The answer is easy, Jesus is not a Jew because the people known as Jews today are not of Judah. The Bible itself tells us this. For this reason Jesus Himself told the church at Smyrna, in Revelation 2:9: "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." Just in case that is not understood, Jesus also said to the church at Philadelphia, in Revelation 3:9: "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee." So according to Jesus Himself, the people calling themselves Jews at this time are not "real" Jews, meaning that they are not actually of the tribe of Judah. But how can that be? First, we will see that Paul of Tarsus agrees with Jesus, and the events which Luke recorded in Acts chapter 26 had actually transpired about 35 years before John recorded the Revelation.

    The DNA Phantom Effect - Direct Measurement of A New Field in The Vacum Substructure

    by Dr. Vladimir Poponin after a discovery of Dr. Peter P. Gariaev from TWM and TWestwn Websites INTRODUCTION In this contribution I am going to describe some observations and interpretations of a recently discovered anomalous phenomenon which we are calling the DNA Phantom Effect in Vitro or the DNA Phantom for short. We believe this discovery has tremendous significance for the explanation and deeper understandings of the mechanisms underlying subtle energy phenomena including many of the observed alternative healing phenomena [1,2]. This data also supports the heart intelligence concept and model developed by Doc Lew Childre [3,4] (see also contributions by Rollin McCraty and Glen Rein in this volume). This new phenomenon - the DNA phantom effect - was first observed in Moscow at the Russian Academy of Sciences as a surprise effect during experiments measuring the vibrational modes of DNA in solution using a sophisticated and expensive "MALVERN" laser photon correlation spectrometer (LPCS) [5]. These effects were analyzed and interpreted by Gariaev and Poponin [6]. The new feature that makes this discovery distinctly different from many other previously undertaken attempts to measure and identify subtle energy fields [1] is that the field of the DNA phantom has the ability to be coupled to conventional electromagnetic fields of laser radiation and as a consequence, it can be reliably detected and positively identified using standard optical techniques. Furthermore, it seems very plausible that the DNA phantom effect is an example of subtle energy manifestation in which direct human influence is not involved. These experimental data provide us not only quantitative data concerning the coupling constant between the DNA phantom field and the electromagnetic field of the laser light but also provides qualitative and quantitative information about the nonlinear dynamics of the phantom DNA fields. Note that both types of data are crucial for the development of a new unified nonlinear quantum field theory which must include the physical theory of consciousness and should be based on a precise quantitative background.   RESULTS The background leading to the discovery of the DNA phantom and a description of the experimental set up and conditions will be helpful. A block diagram of the laser photon correlation spectrometer used in these experiments is presented in Figure 1 below. In each set of experimental measurements with DNA samples, several double control measurements are performed. These measurements are performed prior to the DNA being placed in the scattering chamber. When the scattering chamber of the LPCS is void of physical DNA, and neither are there are any phantom DNA fields present, the autocorrelation function of scattered light looks like the one shown in Figure 2a. This typical control plot represents only background random noise counts of the photomultiplier. Note that the intensity of the background noise counts is very small and the distribution of the number of counts per channel is close to random. Figure 2b demonstrates a typical time autocorrelation function when a physical DNA sample is placed in the scattering chamber, and typically has the shape of an oscillatory and slowly exponentially decaying function. When the DNA is removed from the scattering chamber, one anticipates that the autocorrelation function will be the same as before the DNA was placed in the scattering chamber. Surprisingly and counter-intuitively it turns out that the autocorrelation function measured just after the removal of the DNA from the scattering chamber looks distinctly different from the one obtained before the DNA was placed in the chamber. Two examples of the autocorrelation functions measured just after the removal of the physical DNA are shown in Figures 2c and d. After duplicating this many times and checking the equipment in every conceivable way, we were forced to accept the working hypothesis that some new field structure is being excited from the physical vacuum. We termed this the DNA phantom in order to emphasize that its origin is related with the physical DNA. We have not yet observed this effect with other substances in the chamber. After the discovery of this effect we began a more rigorous and continuous study of this phenomena. We have found that, as long as the space in the scattering chamber is not disturbed, we are able to measure this effect for long periods of time. In several cases we have observed it for up to a month. It is important to emphasize that two conditions are necessary in order to observe the DNA phantoms. The first is the presence of the DNA molecule and the second is the exposure of the DNA to weak coherent laser radiation. This last condition has been shown to work with two different frequencies of laser radiation. Perhaps the most important finding of these experiments is that they provide an opportunity to study the vacuum substructure on strictly scientific and quantitative grounds. This is possible due to the phantom field's intrinsic ability to couple with conventional electromagnetic fields. The value of the coupling constant between the DNA phantom field and the electromagnetic field of the laser radiation can be estimated from the intensity of scattered light. The first preliminary set of experiments carried out in Moscow and Stanford have allowed us to reliably detect the phantom effect However, more measurements of the light scattering from the DNA phantom fields are necessary for a more precise determination of the value of the EMF-DNA phantom field coupling constant.   THEORY It is fortunate that the experimental data provides us with qualitative and quantitative information about the nonlinear dynamical properties of the phantom DNA fields. Namely, these experimental data suggest that localized excitations of DNA phantom fields are long living and can exist in non-moving and slowly propagating states. This type of behavior is distinctly different from the behavior demonstrated by other well known nonlinear localized excitations such as solitons which are currently considered to be the best explanation of how vibrational energy propagates through the DNA. It is a remarkable and striking coincidence that a new class of localized solutions to anharmonic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice (FPU) - nonlinear localized excitations (NLE), which have been recently obtained [7], demonstrate very similar dynamical features to those of the DNA phantom. Nonlinear localized excitations predicted by the FPU model also have unusually long life-times. Furthermore, they can exist in both stationary or slowly propagating forms. In Figure 3, one example of a NLE is shown which illustrates three stationary localized excitations generated by numerical simulation using the FPU model [7]. It is worthy to note that this NLE has a surprisingly long life-time. Here, we present only one of the many possible examples of the patterns for stationary excitations which are theoretically predicted. Slowly propagating and long lived NLE are also predicted by this theory. Note that the FPU model can successfully explain the diversity and main features of the DNA phantom dynamical patterns. This model is suggested as the basis for a more general nonlinear quantum theory which may explain many of the observed subtle energy phenomena and eventually could provide a physical theory of consciousness. According to our current hypothesis, the DNA phantom effect may be interpreted as a manifestation of a new physical vacuum substructure which has been previously overlooked. It appears that this substructure can be excited from the physical vacuum in a range of energies close to zero energy provided certain specific conditions are fulfilled which are specified above. Furthermore, one can suggest that the DNA phantom effect is a specific example of a more general category of electromagnetic phantom effects [8]. This suggests that the electromagnetic phantom effect is a more fundamental phenomenon which can be used to explain other observed phantom effects including the phantom leaf effect and the phantom limb [9].

About the detection of the "DNA Phantom effect". Peter Gariaev has seen the effect for the first time in 1985, when he worked with correlation spectroscopy of DNA, ribosomes and collagen in the Institute of physics/techniques problems Acad. Sci. of the USSR. However, to publish it, was possible only in 1991 (Gariaev P.P., Chudin V.I., Komissarov G.G., Berezin A.A., Vasiliev A.A., 1991, Holographic Associative Memory of Biological Systems, Proceedings SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering. Optical Memory and Neural Networks. v.1621, p.280- 291. USA.), and then in 1994 (Gariaev P.P., "Wave based genome", Ed. Obsh. Pl’za, 279p. In Russian -1994), where the biggest chapter of the book is devoted to this effect. In 1995 Poponin has received an invitation in USA and has offered, as continuation of the joint work with Peter Gariaev in the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, again jointly to publish an article about the DNA phantom effect in USA. Peter Gariaev agreed and gave him the diagrams and the description of the method. Then an article "of Poponin" with the data of Peter Gariaev appeared in the internet 1995, but without his participation. In this article Poponin refers to the joint publication (Gariaev, K.V.

Because this is clear evidence of clandestine monopoly through 1% brotherhood. Because everything Bohemian Grove represents is in one microcosm all that is inherently wrong about these individuals we've collectively deemed “The 1%” Because when the orders for your son, daughter, brother, husband, spouse, cousin or uncle come to deploy to a foreign country with weapon in hand, it may very well have come from an undocumented “Lakeside Talk” at this place. Because while these people fly the flag of Christianity & exploit the Bible Belt for votes, while they deny gay rights in the name of social conservatism, why they actively try to ban pornography and censor music, they make this hideous exception for themselves. Because a major sector of the worldwide banking structure are secretively, annually & historically camping together as the “Lost Angels” encampment.

    Who Are the Rigdens? - Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia

     Notes from a talk given, Thursday night, March 17, by Acharya David Schneider: The Rigden This word is being used more in our literature, liturgies and iconography. Cannot understand, not accessible to divided, conceptual mind – “Rigden don’t live there.” To talk about it, it is necessary to relax your mind. Loosen your grip on your version of reality…will come closer to actual reality…this is more like poetry than anthropology. “rig” means ‘clan’ or ‘lineage.’ “den” means ‘having,’ ‘holding,’ ‘possessing.’ Together it means: “the holders of the family lineage or clan.” David begins telling a story: The Kings of Shambhala: The first King of Shambhala – Suchandra (Tibetan = Dazampa, “good moon.”) The historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, taught the king of Shambhala, Suchandra, and initiated him – “monks out!” the Buddha said. This was a teaching for lay-people. This teaching was the Kalachakra Tantra – the pinnacle of the Vajrayana – there is no higher tantra. Suchandra took the tantra teaching back with him to his kingdom (Shambhala) and made it the state religion there. This is responsible for why we cannot see Shambhala anymore. Some say it ascended entirely, some say it’s still there. [The synchronicity between the term Sanskrit term Rigden and the Mormon name Rigden, the parallel ideas of Shambhala, Zion, and the City of Enoch, and the similarities between termas, tertons, Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon are phenomenal and serendipitous, to say the least.] This is not the only religion in Shambhala [Again a very familiar Mormon idea in terms of the future Zion utopia and freedom of religion, conscience, and expression.] Seven kings later there was strife. Some didn’t want to do it anymore and bailed. It wasn’t easy to leave. The seventh King was Manjushri Yashas. He used magical persuasion and brought them back. He was called the first Rigden because he held the clan through commitment and dedication? devotion? to teachings. Before this kings were referred to as “Dharma Raja”. After that, “Rigdens.” There were 7 Dharma Rajas and 25 Rigdens. We are under the reign of the 21st or 22nd Rigden. There is a prophecy that during the reign of the 25th, things get so bad that they come out of Shambhala and “clean things up”! They pay close attention to the human realm and are very affected by it and care very deeply. The Rigden during WWII died of a broken heart! Trungpa Rinpoche talks about the Rigden fathers. There’s another meaning before that level (the kings above). The before level is the basis of Shambhala, together the whole lineage An absolute or ultimate level. A chant – the homage He who is neither beginning or end. Possesses confidence beyond words. I pay homage to the Rigden King…. [[[Wikipedia:sounds|sounds]] like Melchizedek] Part of the standard liturgy now…. “May the goodness of the Rigden King be present.” This Rigden king is not one exactly, it’s a “Rigden principle,” or absolute or primordial Rigden. An absolute level of being indivisible from the relative way of being. We’re so busy with relative that we forget – can’t feel the absolute way of being – the basis of Shambhala, where we came from. What is it that has no beginning or ending in Tibetan [no he?] referring to a level of being/mind before thought/concept. It’s happening all the time – in between thoughts “gap out.” The Rigdens are the inhabitants of the Cosmic Mirror. Before concept, primordial mind, what’s there when you let go of thoughts. It’s not possible to stop thinking – it is possible to notice thoughts and gaps between thoughts. It’s a source of character development to let go of thoughts – that’s relaxing. You can let go of any thoughts. There’s a space like an “ah” or other seed syllables. There’s an unbounded, limitless space out of which things spring all the time. This is the abode of the Rigden. This space is rich and pregnant and fertile, possessing the glory of the tiger, lion, garuda, dragon, “the five dignities.” It’s glorious with specific colors, qualitites, and power. Applicable in daily life. There is no shortcut to glory. Rigden is in charge. You have to go through him to get the glory. Spacious Open Unbounded Glorious Colored Powerful And confidence beyond words – doesn’t need anything – it’s basic goodness – it’s before any reason to be good. David tells a wonderful story about his 2 ½ year-old daughter. She asks “why” about everything. So he decided to turn the tables on her and asks her “why” about everything. Her answer to “why” (she’s German) is “just so.” Letting it in: it’s right there outside the door - glorious power, wisdom, fireworks, ice cubes, everything – whatever you want. We can’t lose it but we can ignore it. Rigden is about opening up to that – relaxing. That’s the absolute, somewhat un-manifest level. Q: Why would you address it, give it a name or rank it like a king? A: In ‘relative’ you could say ‘Queen,” in absolute you’d say ‘ruler.’ It’s this space that’s giving rise to everything in our life. It’s your ruler principle, it allows you to rule. Who’s the boss? In sitting meditation you are the boss. Manifest – kings or rulers of Shambhala. A tip or insight into visualization Q: Does the Rigden exist? A: The Rigden principle is like a strong emotion that exists in you, like hate. It has color and is so strong could be made into sculpture. You could kick it or worship it, sometimes our emotions are that tangible. You might see Rigden as a person that emanates for your own conviction. On the one hand they don’t exist, on the other hand they do. Rulership – ruling your own life. Sakyong = “earth protector,” like Rigden, but an earthly manifestation. One who has trained in these techniques of relaxing and opening. It comes down to embodying that, becoming Rigdens. The primary way of our training, meditation. Not the only way but extremely helpful. Slowed down. Sit. Can begin to notice gaps and power of the mind even when nothing is happening. Other techniques, opening to your sense perceptions and regarding them as sacred. Entrance into the Rigden principle. Not just a glass of water but being “stunned by your perceptions.” The act of perceiving without blending your perceptions together and naming it – a chair. Let that open you up instead of just closing that down. The moon and the weather and the elements are good for this. We are sensual beings. In monk training you put a clamp on your senses. Whereas on the path of Shambhala warriorship and rulership we use the senses in a different way. No need to fear, can be used for enlightenment, not to be stupid or indulgent, but really living there/senses in a sacred world. There’s a profound meaning…our Shambhala Buddhist path. Our asst. is that we should not separate religion and secular life. Our aim is that they’re completely integrated. Your spiritual life is meant to deepen your secular, your secular life is meant to deepen your spiritual – no gap. The way you do the things you do counts in Shambhala. The Arhat is the hero of Hinayana. The Bodhisattva of the Mahayana, or tantric yoga. Here it is the Rigden King or Queen [Another Mormon parallel]. Open to infinity or depth of sense perceptions. Different emphasis. Points to social engagement, community, culture. Q: Why do we close the blinds? A: Fear of the unknown. It’s a bad habit. We get comfortable in our routines and silly limiting routines. We’re afraid if we let go of those, something uncomfortable could happen. Fear of loss of reference point (normally our reference points drive us nuts.) When we let go we get glory back and it’s not personal and we don’t have to organize it. Whatever phenomena are taking place you know how to ride them. The power, not your personal power. It’s already there. Let go of self and it’s accessible. Bodhisattva acquires siddhis powers but only for the benefit of others. Before beginning or ending. Not the same as eternal. Something before the concept even of beginning or ending. Something before the concept of the teaching. Q: Is the Rigden place a place where questioning is not necessary? A: An important topic, an important talk. Q: Tell us the why and the how of our new thangka? A: The Sakyong’s job is to shape and guide Shambhala on earth. What he’s doing is to point out the things that bind Shambhala Buddhist teachings. Shaping and binding and holding the family…IS this Ridgen principle. He’s going back to the things that his father had begun. In all contemplative or religious traditions absolute_______by word or concept, always some teachings of absolute state, ways to describe it, draw it out (infiltrate?) concretely manifest reality. Your life is a spectrum. Q: What if a little Rigden principle comes in? A: Relax more. Q: Senses – the role of art and beauty. A: The artist is integrated into the Shambhala vision. Humans are dignified, worthy, deserve to celebrate their lives. Beauty, elegance, dignity are not outside us, they are our potential. An artist can call that forth for themselves and others. Trungpa Rinpoche – “we don’t have any art, we do everything the best we can.” It’s not special, just an extension of our daily lives. The wind and the water – it’s natural, you’d write a poem about it, but it’s no different than the way you’d put away the forks.

    Rosa Bonheur - 32 artworks - Art Renewal Center

    BONHEUR, ROSA (1822-1899), French painter, was born at Bordeaux on the 22nd of March 1822. She was of Jewish origin. Jacques Wiener, the Belgian medallist, a native of Venloo, says that he and Raymond Bonheur, Rosas father, used to attend synagogue in that town; while another authority asserts that Rosa used to be known in common parlance by the name of Rosa Mazeltov (a Hebrew term for good luck, Gallic: Bonheur). She was the eldest of four children, all of whom were artists: Auguste (1824-1884) painted animals and landscape; Juliette (1830-1891) was honorably mentioned at the exhibition of 1855; Isidore, born in 1827, was a sculptor of animals. Rosa at an early age was taught to draw by her father (who died in 1849), and he, perceiving her very remarkable talent, permitted her to abandon the business of dressmaking, to which, much against her will, she had been put, in order to devote herself wholly to art. From 1840 to 1845 she exhibited at the salon, and five times received a prize; in 1848 a medal was awarded to her. Her fame dates more especially from the exhibition of 1855; from that time Rosa Bonheur's works were much sought after in England, where collectors and public galleries competed eagerly for them. What is chiefly remarkable and admirable in her work is that, like her contemporary, Jacques Raymond Brascassat (1804-1867), she represents animals as they really are, as she saw them in the country. Her gift of accurate observation was, however, allied to a certain dryness of style in painting; she often failed to give a perfect sense of atmosphere. On the other hand, the anatomy of her animals is always faultlessly true. There is nothing feminine in her handling; her treatment is always manly and firm. Of her many works we may note the following: Ploughing in the Nivernais (1848), in the Luxembourg gallery; The Horse Fair (1853), one of the two replicas of which is in the National Gallery, London, the original being in the United States; and Hay Harvest in Auvergne (1855). She was decorated with the Legion of Honor by the empress Eugenie, and was subsequently promoted to the rank of officer of the order. After 1867 Rosa Bonheur exhibited but once in the salon, in 1899, a few weeks before her death. She lived quietly at her country house at By, near Fontainebleau, where for some years she had held gratuitous classes for drawing. She left at her death a considerable number of pictures, studies, drawings and etchings, which were sold by auction in Paris in the spring of 1900. (H. FR.)Source: Entry on the artist in the 1911 Edition Encyclopedia.

    .:SonicBomb: Operation Nougat 1961

    In its closing days, the Eisenhower administration initiated negotiations on a nuclear test ban with the Soviet Union (this intention was announced by Eisenhower on 22 August 1958). As an important confidence building measure, Eisenhower also announced that a one-year voluntary moratorium on nuclear testing (if the Soviets made a reciprocal commitment) would go into effect on 31 October 1958. This ban was later extended to 13 months (31 December 1959), but on 29 December 1959 the U.S. announced an end to the voluntary moratorium although it also promised not to renew testing without advance public notice. This decision not to extend the formal moratorium commitment may have been due to the status of the negotiations, which were faring very poorly. On 3 January 1960, Khrushchev pledged that the Soviet Union would not conduct nuclear testing unless the Western nations resumed it. The US, the UK and France made no move to resume testing, and so the matter rested for nearly three years. On 31 August 1961, Khrushchev announced that the Soviet Union was abruptly abandoning the nuclear testing moratorium, which they (and the United States) had observed for 34 months. The next day, on 1 September 1961, the Soviet Union began an atmospheric test series of unprecedented magnitude with a 16 Kt atmospheric nuclear shot. Two weeks later, the U.S. responded by initiating Operation Nougat. This series was conducted at the Nevada Test Site, which permitted rapid initiation of tests, but restricted them to low yields (and mostly underground test shots) due to fallout concerns. Although this was still the "era of atmospheric testing", Nougat was actually the first underground test series. Higher yield atmospheric tests followed seven months later with Operation Dominic in the Pacific. The assignment of tests to individual 'operations' between this time and the end of atmospheric testing is confused and complicated by several overlapping operations - Nougat, Dominic I, Fishbowl, Sunbeam (AKA Dominic II), Storax, and Roller Coaster. The available documentation on these operations is somewhat unclear unclear or confusing, and it may be that in some cases a shot may be officially included in more than one operation. Definitely and unambiguously assigning shots to operations for this period is thus hard or impossible. Some disagreement about which shots should be properly included with a particular operation may occur. According to this account Operation Nougat included a total of 44 shots, exceeding the previous record holder, Operation Hardtack II, with 37 tests. Nougat generally resembles Hardtack II in nature, with extensive testing of low yield tactical devices. Thermonuclear primaries and radiation implosion mockups were also tested. Much attention was paid to simultaneously achieving desired performance and one-point safety in "sealed pit" fission devices, some designs required numerous shots. All the tests were fired underground, and only a few of them produced true blast craters (i.e. not subsidence craters caused by blast cavity collapse). The most publicized event of Nougat was the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory shot Gnome, which was fired in an underground salt dome formation. A permanent stable cavity 52 meters in diameter, and 24 meters high, was formed. This is one of the very few nuclear test cavities (perhaps the only one) to avoid collapse. Some radiation accidentally released as a result of subsequent drilling. The Gnome test was also included in Project Plowshare. - Video of the Gnome shot Test Shots Name Date Yield Antler September 15, 1961 2.6 kilotons Shrew September 16, 1961 < 20 kilotons Boomer October 1, 1961 < 20 kilotons Chena October 10, 1961 < 20 kilotons Mink October 29, 1961 < 20 kilotons Fisher December 3, 1962 13.4 kilotons Gnome December 10, 1962 3 kilotons Mad December 13, 1962 0.5 kilotons Ringtail December 17, 1962 < 20 kilotons Feather December 22, 1962 0.15 kilotons Stoat January 9, 1962 5.1 kilotons Agouti January 18, 1962 6.4 kt Doormouse January 30, 1962 < 20 kilotons Stillwater February 8, 1962 3.07 kilotons Armadillo February 9, 1962 7.1 kilotons Hard Hat February 15, 1962 5.7 kilotons Chinchilla I February 19, 1962 1.9 kilotons Codsaw February 19, 1962 < 20 kilotons Cimarron February 23, 1962 11.9 kilotons Platypus February 24, 1962 < 20 kilotons Pampas March 1, 1962 9.5 kilotons Danny Boy March 5, 1962 0.43 kilotons Ermine March 6, 1962 < 20 kilotons Brazos March 8, 1962 8.4 kilotons Hognose March 15, 1962 < 20 kilotons Hoosic March 28, 1962 3.4 kilotons Chinchilla II March 31, 1962 < 20 kilotons Dormouse Prime April 5, 1962 10.6 kilotons Passaic April 6, 1962 < 20 kilotons Hudson April 12, 1962 < 20 kilotons Platte April 14, 1962 1.85 kilotons Dead April 21, 1962 < 20 kilotons Black April 27, 1962 < 20 kilotons Paca May 7, 1962 < 20 kilotons Arikaree May 10, 1962 < 20 kilotons Aadvark May 12, 1962 40 kilotons Eel May 19, 1962 4.5 kilotons White May 25, 1962 < 20 kilotons Racoon June 1, 1962 < 20 kilotons Packrat June 6, 1962 < 20 kilotons Des Moines June 13, 1962 2.9 kilotons Daman I June 21, 1962 < 20 kilotons Haymaker June 27, 1962 67 kilotons Marshmallow June 28, 1962 < 20 kilotons Sacramento June 30, 1962 < 20 kilotons Last modified: 05/06/2026 17:27:54

    Mystery of the Alaskan Dark Pyramid | Podcast | Boomplay

    Something lurks beneath the surface of central Alaska. Up on land, reports of heightened electromagnetic activity and odd-acting animals are the norm, but is it because something deeply strange is causing these disturbances? In this episode, hear discussions on the mystery of the Alaskan Dark Pyramid, nuclear weaponry, an account from a United States Army counterintelligence officer, remote viewing data on what’s happening underground in Alaska, the pyramids of Giza, the strangest Alaskan wildlife behavior you’ve never heard of, and more. In Fairbanks, Alaska in June of 2015, strange, eel-like, blood-sucking fish called lampreys fell from the sky and littered the city. It’s important to note that they are seldomly caught and rarely even seen. A few months later, thousands of dead seabirds washed up in Whittier, Alaska. Around the same time in Afognak, just above Kodiak Island, about 10 whales washed up dead on the shore. In 2019, 60 seals washed up dead. Bizarrely, some were found to have lost all their hair. What caused it? 35,000 walruses gathered on a beach in western Alaska around the same time. That’s seven times more than had ever been seen in one place before. What brought them to Alaska? Does that mean something is wrong? Some people think the strange behavior is from strange electromagnetics within the “Alaska Triangle,” and others just don’t know what to think at all!

    54 Years Since Falcon Lake’s Famous UFO Incident

    Something strange happened in the Falcon Lake wilderness 54-years ago, when Canada’s most-well documented Unidentified Flying Object incident was reported. On the afternoon of May 20, 1967, mechanic and former military policeman Stephen Michalak was searching for a quartz vein as an amateur prospector in the Whiteshell Provincial Park near Falcon lake, MB, when he was startled by agitated geese nearby. Michalak then allegedly saw two unidentified flying objects in the sky – one of which he said touched down about 45 metres away. After spending a half-hour sketching the saucer-shaped object, he began to approach it. Suddenly, Michalak says the object took off in the air, expelling heat, which set his shirt and cap on fire. He was then transported to a Winnipeg hospital where he was examined and treated for severe burns on his upper abdomen. googletag.cmd.push(function() { if($(document).width()<900) { s = googletag.defineSlot('/50748803/stol-all-bigbox', [300, 250], 'div-gpt-1648064325258-bbm1'); s.setTargeting('URL', [window.location.pathname]); s.setTargeting('position', [1648064325258]) s.setTargeting('story_id', '54-years-since-falcon-lake-s-famous-ufo-incident'); s.addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().refresh([s], {changeCorrelator: false}); } }); The story spread quickly, with investigations being conducted by the RCMP, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the United States Air Force, the Federal Department of Health, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization and the Department of National Defence. The area’s soil and Michalak’s clothes were determined to be highly radioactive, various other symptoms similar to radiation poisoning were documented over the following weeks and years, and no agency could ever determine what caused Michalak’s burns.

The landing site was also found to be devoid of moss and vegetation when compared to nearby areas. “Both the DND and RCMP investigation teams were unable to provide evidence which would dispute Michalak’s story,” wrote the Department of National Defence, in an undated letter to Michalak. The Royal Canadian Mint commemorated the story in 2018 with a special glow-in-the-dark coin depicting the alleged events. A yearly gathering is usually held in the Whiteshell for UFO enthusiasts to gather and discuss their research. It was not held due to COVID-19. Chris Rutkowski, a Winnipeg-based UFO researcher who co-wrote a book with Michalak’s son on the incident in 2017, is also an organizer of UFOlogy Research Manitoba, who has been collecting and analyzing reports of UFO’s in Canada since 1989. googletag.cmd.push(function() { if($(document).width()<900) { s = googletag.defineSlot('/50748803/stol-all-bigbox', [300, 250], 'div-gpt-1648064325258-bbm3'); s.setTargeting('URL', [window.location.pathname]); s.setTargeting('position', [1648064325258]) s.setTargeting('story_id', '54-years-since-falcon-lake-s-famous-ufo-incident'); s.addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().refresh([s], {changeCorrelator: false}); } }); In 2020, UFOlogy researchers say there were 1,243 sightings of possible UFO’s in Canada, which averages out to about three per day. Rutkowski has said UFO reports filed in Canada have increased by 46 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic as more residents spend more time outdoors. On average, UFOlogy says there’s an average of two witnesses per UFO sighting, which typically last about 15 minutes each. After their 2017 study, researchers said about 13 percent of UFO sightings in Canada each year are considered unexplained, as many are traced back to aircraft or satellites.

    The Eye of Horus Symbolism & Meaning

    What is the meaning behind the Eye of Horus? The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol that represents protection, sacrifice, healing, regeneration, and royal power. It is also used to protect both the living and the dead from evil forces. The story of the Eye of Horus In ancient Egyptian myth, Osiris, the king of Egypt, was given all of the fertile land, while his brother, Set, received the barren deserts. Out of jealousy, Set murdered Osiris, claimed the throne, and brought chaos and disorder to Egypt. Not only did Set kill Osiris, but because he wanted to keep him from entering the underworld, he cut his body up into 14 pieces and scattered them across the land. Ancient Egyptians believed that in order to enter the underworld, your body had to be intact, embalmed, and entombed. Osiris' wife, Isis, and his son, Horus, along with other family members, went on a quest to find all the pieces of his body. Isis then used her magic to resurrect him and he was then able to enter the underworld and become the god of the dead, of resurrection into eternal life, and the judge of the deceased.  Isis continued to raise Horus on her own and upon reaching adulthood, Horus went on a mission to avenge his father. In a series of fierce battles, Horus eventually defeated Set, but not without each of them sustaining heavy injuries. Set lost a testicle, and Horus lost one of his eyes. In one version of the myth, Set tore out Horus' eye, cut it into six pieces, and threw it away. In another version, it was Horus himself who gouged out his own eye as a sacrifice in hopes of bringing his father back to life. It is from this version of the myth that the Eye of Horus has become a symbol of sacrifice.  In any case, Horus' eye was magically restored, either by Hathor, the goddess of the sky, women, fertility, and love, or by Thoth, the god of writing, magic, wisdom, and the moon. Because Horus' eye was restored by magic, ancient Egyptians believed it had healing properties. How was the Eye of Horus used? Ancient Egyptians didn't think of the eye as just a passive organ that we used for seeing the world; it was thought of as having special powers related to protection, taking actions, and anger. Eyes were thought to have powerful energy and could cast evil spells with just a glance. It was also believed that evil eyes could be counteracted with "good eyes", which led to beliefs around the protective power of the Eye of Horus. In hieroglyphics, the Eye of Horus is represented by seven different symbols, with the meaning of "take action" or "one who does". Sailors harnessed its power by painting it on ships to protect them on dangerous voyages and to ward off evil forces. In this way, it is similar to the evil eye symbol. It was also used in funeral monuments and amulets to offer the dead safety and protection on their journey to the underworld and to ensure a good and safe afterlife.  How is it used today? Today, the Eye of Horus is still used for protection against evil forces and is also believed to bring good health, rejuvenation, energy, and vitality to its wearer. It is placed in homes to improve safety and security from both physical and emotional dangers. It is also used in magic spells, to keep negative energy away and to attract positive energy. Relationship of the Eye of Horus to the human brain Another name for the Eye of Horus is the "Eye of the Mind". Incredibly, when the Eye of Horus is superimposed over a cross-section of the human brain, each of the six sections of the Eye seem to correspond to the major sensory centers of our five senses and to the corpus callosum, the largest collection of white matter fibers in the brain that facilitates communication between the two halves of the brain. What is amazing about this correspondence is that the ancient Egyptians, who were leaders in medicine and anatomy, seemed to understand the intricate functions of the central nervous system without the benefits of modern technology. The following is a list of each part of the Eye of Horus to sections of the brain: Smell: The triangular-shaped section on right side of eye is located in the olfactory trigone. Vision: The center of eye corresponds to the interthalamic adhesion. Wisdom: The eyebrow corresponds to the shape and location of the corpus callosum. Hearing: The triangular left side of the eye corresponds to the location of the Brodman areas 41 and 42, which are the center of hearing in humans. Taste: The coiled, tail-shaped object corresponds to the taste pathway in the brain. Touch: The teardrop-shaped object corresponds to the shape and location of the somatosensory pathway, the carrier of many sensations from the body. The Eye of Horus and mathematics There is yet another fascinating element of symbolism in the Eye of Horus as it relates to mathematics. The Eye can be divided into six individual elements (the six pieces of the eye that were ripped apart by Set, and that also correspond to the different parts of the brain), each of which is assigned a fraction, as follows:  ½ corresponds to the outer triangle of the eye¼ corresponds to the pupil1/8 corresponds to the eyebrow1/16 corresponds to the inner triangle of the eye1/32 corresponds to the the curled "tail"1/64 corresponds to the teardrop shape If you then add up the fractions, they do not equal 100%, as expected, but instead only add up to 63/64, or 98.43%. It is said that the missing fraction was either withheld by Thoth's magic when he restored the eye, or that the magic itself is the missing piece. Another interpretation is to say that nothing is perfect. The Eye of Horus as a symbol of the moon Ancients believed that Horus' right eye represented the sun, and his left eye, the moon, meaning that he ruled all of the heavens. Because it is believed that it was Horus' left eye which was gouged out, the Eye of Horus also represents the waxing and waning moon. The nights when there is no moon in the sky represents the time when Horus' eye was ripped out, and the full moon represents the eye that has been restored by magic. The Eye of Horus and divine royalty Horus' name means "the falcon who soars above all the other inhabitants of the land". Horus is the god of the sky and is often shown with the head of a falcon or as a falcon itself. The Eye of Horus is shaped to resemble a falcon's eye, along with the distinctive teardrop on the bottom. The Eye of Horus has also been seen in royal courts and royal garments. This is because ancient Egyptians believed that pharoahs were the living embodiment of Horus and that when one pharoah died, his spirit was passed down to the next one.  The Eye of Horus and the Pineal Gland The pineal gland is a tiny, pinecone-shaped gland located near the center of the brain, at the same level as the eyes. The famous philosopher Descartes called it the "principal seat of the soul". It is also known as the "third eye" and is thought to be a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. Many cultures throughout the world have some belief in the idea of the third eye. In ancient Indian texts, the chakra located between the eyebrows is believed to be the connection to divine consciousness. In China, "third eye training" involves closing the eyes and focusing one's attention on the spot between the eyebrows, while posed in various qigong positions. This focus allows the student to tune into the correct "vibration" in the universe so that they can achieve an advanced meditative state. In Egypt, the third eye was the Eye of Horus. The pineal gland is also thought to be a doorway to lucid dreaming, mental telepathy, extra-sensory perception, and spiritual visions. The Eye of Horus vs. the Eye of Ra Originally, both the right and left eyes were associated with Horus, but over time, the right eye became associated with Ra, the god of the sun, order, kings, and the sky. The story of the Eye of Ra begins when Ra was the actual pharoah of Egypt. Feeling that his people had lost respect for him, he sent his eye, in the form of a lion, to punish humanity. The Eye of Ra rampaged through the land, destroying everything in its path. It killed so many people that the gods feared it would kill all of humanity. To calm down the Eye, Ra poured beer stained with pomegranate juice over the land to fool the Eye into thinking it was human blood. After drinking all the beer, the Eye of Ra calmed down, passed out, and later returned to Ra, restoring peace to humanity. The Eye of Ra has been associated with the use of violence to control one's enemies and with the destructive power of the sun. It is also a symbol of authority, with its power used for protection of the pharoah, holy places, and ordinary people.  Both the Eye of Horus and the Eye of Ra are believed to be protective, but it is their origin stories that define the nature of their powers. The Eye of Horus offers safety and protection for the living and the dead on dangerous journeys and wards off malevolent forces, while the Eye of Ra's protective powers originate in the use of violence to subdue one's enemies. The main difference seems to be that the Eye of Horus offers protection in a peaceful, defensive way, deflecting evil forces, while the Eye of Ra offers protection by inciting in enemies the fear of  destruction. Furthermore, the Eye of Horus is a symbol of the moon and the Eye of Ra is a symbol of the sun. Even so, in today's world, you'll find that the right and left eyes are often used interchangeably as the Eye of Horus, as it is the more popular symbol. Fun Fact about the Eye of Horus The supermodel Naomi Campbell owns a large house in the shape of the Eye of Horus on a small island near Turkey called Cleopatra's Island. She received it as a gift for her 41st birthday from her Russian billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin. It was designed to be completely energy, water and food self-sufficient and has 25 bedrooms and 5 lounges. Conclusion I hope you enjoyed this short exploration into the meaning behind the Eye of Horus and that when you now wear this powerful symbol, you understand a little more about its ancient origins and why it is thought to have positive, protective powers.

    Occult Holidays And Sabbats

    from CuttingEdge Website   As we have repeatedly stated, the Satanist believes that numbers contain inherent power. Thus, they literally order their lives by occult numerology - such numerology also is a key component in astrology, another system of divining that Satanists observe very closely. The occult calendar is divided into four (4) segments of 13 weeks each. The number, "13" is considered divine by the occultist for a couple of reasons: The Bible assigns '13' the meaning of "rebellion against constituted authority", plus the depravity that caused Satan to rebel against God.  The occultist assigns '6' to represent the number of man, and the number '7' to represent the number of divine perfection. Thus, as a person climbs that "Jacob's Ladder" toward self-perfection in the realm of the occult, the number '13' represents the state of divine perfection, self-achieved perfection, and Illumination (6+7 = 13). Thus, the occult calendar is comprised of four periods of 13 weeks each. We list these periods for you, below. Then, after listing them, we shall come back to talk about each of them in detail. 1. Winter Solstice - 13 weeks - Minor sabbath a. December 21 - Yuleb. December 21-22 - Winter Solstice/Yule. One of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights c. February 1 and 2 - Candlemas and Imbolg, a.k.a. Groundhog's Day. One of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights d. February 14 - Valentine's Day 2. Spring Equinox - 13 weeks - Minor sabbath but does require human sacrifice a. March 21-22 - Goddess Ostara - Note: Easter is the first Sunday after the first new moon after Ostara. March 21 is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights b. April 1 - All Fool's Day, precisely 13 weeks since New Year's Day!c. April 19 - May 1 - Blood Sacrifice To The Beast. Fire sacrifice is required on April 19.d. April 30 - May 1 - Beltaine Festival, also called Walpurgis Night. This is the highest day on the Druidic Witch's Calendar. May 1 is the Illuminati's second most sacred holiday. Human sacrifice is required 3. Summer Solstice - 13 weeks - When the sun reaches its northernmost point in its journey across the sky a. June 21 - 22 - Summer Solsticeb. June 21 - Litha is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights c. July 4, America's Independence Day, is 13 days after Day of Litha and 66 days from April 30d. July 19 - 13 days before Lughnasae. July 31 - August 1 - Lughnasa, Great Sabbat Festival. August - One of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights 4. Autumnal Equinox - 13 weeks - Minor Sabbath but does require human sacrifice a. September 21 - Mabon - one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights b. September 21 -22 - Autumnal Equinox c. October 31 - Samhain, also known as Halloween, or All Hallows Eve. This date is the Illuminati's highest day of human sacrifice Isn't it interesting how the "profane" - you and me - are led like a flock of sheep to observe the important festival days of the Mysteries' Religion? You may not understand that you are ordering your year after pagan holidays, but you are! The annual calendar for the entire Western world is ordered by these Satanic festival times and days. Now that we have seen the entire occult calendar, let us go back to the significant holidays to see how the Western world has slipped into a worship of the same pagan holidays and are using many of the same pagan symbols that are so important to the pagan worshipper. The human sacrifice required during many of these occult dates needs to contain the following elements, each one of which is exaggerated to the highest possible degree: 1. Trauma, stress, and mental anguish, sheer terror 2. The final act in the drama should be destruction by a fire; preferably a conflagration. 3. People must die as human sacrifices, especially children, since Lord Satan looks upon a younger human sacrifice as his most desirable SPECIFIC DATES WITHIN... THE OCCULT CALENDAR 1. Winter Solstice - 13 weeks a. December 21- 22 Yule - When the sun begins its northward trek in the sky, and days began to grow longer again, pagans celebrated the Winter Solstice by burning the Yule log. Since the sun had reversed itself and was now rising in the sky, pagans believed this was a sign that the human sacrifices carried out in Samhain (Halloween) had been accepted by the gods. We continue to sing: "Deck the halls with boughs of holly ... troll the ancient Yuletide carol ... See the blazing Yule before us. Fa la la la la la la la." ["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays", David Ingraham, p. 71] The Roman Catholic Church later changed the day of celebration to December 25, calling it Christmas. Consider the pagan roots of our popular symbols of Christmas: (1) Christmas Tree - The sacred tree of the winter-god; Druids believed the spirit of their gods resided in the tree. Most ancient pagans knew the tree represented Nimrod reincarnated into Tammuz! Pagans also looked upon the tree as a phallic symbol. (2) Star - Pentalpha, the five-pointed star. The pentalpha is a powerful symbol of Satan, second only to the hexagram. The star is the sacred symbol of Nimrod, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity. (3) Candles represent the sun-gods' newly-born fire. Pagans the world over love and use candles in their rituals and ceremonies. Certain colors are also thought to represent specific powers. The extensive use of candles is usually a very good indication that the service is pagan, no matter what the outward trappings might be. (4) Mistletoe is the sacred plant of the Druids, symbolizing pagan blessings of fertility; thus, kissing under the mistletoe is the first step in the reproductive cycle! Witches also use the white berries in potions. (5) Wreaths are circular, and so they represent the female sexual organs. Wreaths are associated with fertility and the "circle of life". (6) Santa Claus - Former Satanists have told me that "Santa" is an anagram for "Satan". In the New Age, the god, "Sanat Kamura", is most definitely an anagram for "Satan". The mythical attributes and powers ascribed to Santa are eerily close to those possessed by Jesus Christ. (7) Reindeer are horned animals representing the "horned-god" or the "stag-god" of pagan religion! Santa's traditional number of reindeer in his team is eight (8); in Satanic gematria, eight is the number of "new beginnings", or the cycle of reincarnation. The Illuminati views the number "eight" as a symbol of their New World Order. (8) Elves are imp-like creatures who are Santa's (Satan's) little helpers. They are also demons. (9) Green and Red are the traditional colors of the season, as they are the traditional pagan colors of winter. Green is Satan's favorite color, so it is appropriate it should be one of the traditional colors for Christmas; red is the color of human blood, Satan's highest form of sacrifice - for this reason, Communism adopted red as it main color! (10) December 25 is known as the "nativity" of the sun. This date is the birthday of Tammuz, the son, the reincarnation of the sun god. Traditionally, December 21 is known as Yule. The Roman Catholic Church moved the celebration of Yule to December 25. (11) December 25 is also known to the Romans as "Saturnalia", a time of deliberate debauchery. Drinking through repeated toasting - known as 'wassail' - was a key to the debauchery of this celebration. Fornication was symbolized by the mistletoe, and the entire event was finished with a Great Feast, the Christmas Dinner. (12) Even the name, "Christmas" is pagan! "Christi" meant "Christ", while "Mas" meant Mass. Since all pagan Masses are commemorating "death", the name, "Christmas" literally means the "death of Christ". A deeper meaning lies in the mention of "Christ" without specifying Jesus. Thus, Antichrist is in view here; the pagans celebrate "Christmas" as a celebration of their coming Antichrist, who will deal a death blow to the Jesus Christ of Christianity. Early American Christian Pilgrims refused to celebrate this day.   b. February 1 and 2 Candlemas and Imbolg, popularly called Groundhog's Day. The popular "Punxsutawney Phil" groundhog comes out of his burrow to divine the next few weeks of weather. If he sees his shadow, we will have 6 more weeks of bad weather until Spring finally arrives; if he does not see his shadow, the next 7 weeks before Spring will be good weather. Notice this pagan tradition features both the number '6' and '7', which when added, equals '13'. What most people do not realize is that the pagan view of Groundhog's Day (Imbolg) represents the Earth Mother. Consider these uncanny parallels between the Groundhog and the Earth Mother: 1. As the Earth goddess sleeps inside the earth during the winter season, so does the Groundhog 2. Both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog bridge the two time periods: Winter and Spring 3. Both the goddess and the Groundhog are "earth" creatures 4. Both the goddess and the Groundhog "awaken" in Springtime 5. Both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog complete the "cycle of reincarnation" 6. Annually, both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog represent the cycle of "rebirth" and "renewal" The name, "Groundhog" was substituted for the Satanic name of the holiday, Imbolg, a night requiring human sacrifice.   c. February 14 Valentine's Day - is a pagan festival that encourages love and physical lust. It is celebrated precisely 13 days after Imbolg, thus imprinting upon it the number '13', Satan's number of extreme rebellion. While most people view this day as the day to honor your wife or your lover, this celebration is steeped in paganism Consider the camouflaged occult gods in Valentine's Day: 1. Cupid, the son of Venus, is really Tammuz, son of Semiramis 2. Venus, daughter of Jupiter, is really Semiramis herself. Jupiter is the head deity, a sun god - Nimrod, Semiramis' husband, is considered a sun god in the Babylonian Mysteries. Listen to a pagan author describe February, the month in which Valentine's Day falls. "The name of this month comes from the Roman goddess Februa and St. Febronia (from Febris, the fever of love). She is the patroness of the passion of love ... Her orgiastic rites are celebrated on 14 February - still observed as St. Valentine's Day - when, in Roman times, young men would draw billets naming their female partners... This is a time of clear vision into other worlds, expressed by festivals of purification. On 1 February is the celebration of the cross-quarter day, or fire festival (Imbolc) a purificatory festival. It is followed on the 2nd by its Christian counterpart, Candlemas, the purification of the Virgin Mary." ["The Pagan Book of Days", Nigel Pennick] Valentine's Day is a day of "orgiastic rites" in which the pagans encouraged the flow of lustful passion. 2. Spring Equinox - 13 weeks Minor Sabbath but does require human sacrifice a. March 21-22 Goddess Ostara (Ishtar, also spelled, "Eostre"), for whom "Easter" is named - March 21 is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights Easter is a shifting date using the common practice of Astrology; it is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first new moon after Ostara. This date also has nothing to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! Rather, this day in the pagan tradition celebrates the return of Semiramis into her reincarnated form of the Spring Goddess. The pagans even have an equivalent to our Good Friday! It is "Easter Friday", and has historically been timed to be the third full moon from the start of the year. Since the marrying of pagan Easter to Jesus' resurrection, Good Friday is permanently fixed on the Friday prior to Easter. Easter is steeped in the Babylonian Mysteries, the single most evil idolatrous system ever invented by Satan! All throughout the prophetic Scriptures, we see God declaring His final judgment upon wicked Babylon! Yet, every year, Christian pastors intone "Easter" as though it were Christian. Many Independent Baptist preachers have begun referring to this day celebrating Jesus' resurrection as "Resurrection Sunday", in order to separate the day from the pagan celebration. The Babylonian goddess, Ishtar, is the one for whom Easter is named; ["Pagan Traditions of Holidays", p. 9] in reality, she was Semiramis, wife of Nimrod, and the real founder of the Satanic Babylonian Mysteries. After Nimrod died, Semiramis created the legend that he was really her Divine Son born to her in a Virgin Birth. She is considered to be the co-founder of all occult religions, along with Nimrod. Easter - the day of Ishtar - is celebrated widely among various cultures and religions on earth.   1. Babylon - Ishtar (Easter) also called the Moon Goddess  2. Catholics - Virgin Mary (Queen of Heaven)  3. Chinese - Shingmoo  4. Druids - Virgo Paritura  5. Egypt - Isis  6. The Pagan Ephesians - Dianna  7. Etruscans - Nutria  8. Germans (Ancient) - Hertha  9. Greeks - Aphrodite/Ceres10. India - Isi/Indrani11. Ancient Jews - Ashtaroth (Queen of Heaven)12. Krishna - Devaki13. Rome - Venus/Fortuna14. Scandinavians - Disa15. Sumerians - Nana ["America's Occult Holidays", Doc Marquis and Sam Pollard] The Babylonians celebrated the day as the return of Ishtar (Easter), the goddess of Spring. This day celebrated the rebirth, or reincarnation, of Nature and the goddess of Nature. According to Babylonian legend, a huge egg fell from heaven, landing in the Euphrates River. The goddess, Ishtar (Easter) broke out of this egg. Later, the feature of an egg nesting was introduced, a nest where the egg could incubate until hatched. A "wicker" or reed basket was conceived in which to place the Ishtar egg. The Easter Egg Hunt was conceived because, if anyone found her egg while she was being "reborn", she would bestow a blessing upon that lucky person! Because this was a joyous Spring festival, eggs were colored with bright Spring colors. [Ibid.] The Easter Bunny "The Goddess' totem, the Moon-hare, would lay eggs for good children to eat... Eostre's hare was the shape that Celts imagined on the surface of the full moon..." ["Pagan Traditions of Holidays", p. 10.] Do not bother to tell me that bunnies do not lay eggs, for I know that; we are dealing with a legend here, and an occult legend at that. These types of legends traditionally play loose and fast with facts. Thus, "Easter" - Eostre, or Ishtar - was a goddess of fertility. Since the bunny is a creature that procreates quickly, it symbolized the sexual act; the egg symbolized "birth" and "renewal". Together, the Easter Bunny and Easter Egg symbolizes the sex act and its offspring, Semiramis and Tammuz. Thus, it is a very serious spiritual matter, indeed, when christian churches incorporate "Resurrection Eggs" as part of their Easter celebration. At the very least, these churches are confusing the minds of their precious young children, by blurring the dividing line between pagan symbols and their meanings and Christian meanings of Resurrection Day. Young children who participated in "Resurrection Eggs" in church will be conditioned later in their life to accept the fullness of the pagan tradition revolving around the same symbols. At worst, a church participating in the pagan Easter tradition by promoting "Resurrection Eggs" and perhaps an Easter Egg Hunt, is guilty of combining Christianity with paganism, the very lethal cocktail the Lord Jesus will always reject! Remember our key verse: "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing" If your church has "Resurrection Eggs", that is a church you should consider leaving immediately; if the Senior Pastor is Liberal enough to use "Resurrection Eggs" in his Resurrection Day celebrations, he is probably Liberal in Doctrine and Theology, but may not be far enough along for you to see it yet.   Other Pagan Ingredients Easter Offerings are derived from the tradition where the priests and priestesses would bring offerings to the pagan temples for Easter. They brought freshly-cut Spring flowers and candies to place on the altar of the idol they worshipped. They would also bake Hot Cross Buns, decorating them with crosses symbolizing the cross of Wotan, or some other pagan god; these crosses were not originally the cross of Jesus Christ. This is another instance where Satan counterfeited a pagan tradition that could later be passed off as "Christian" in a church seriously compromised by Syncretization. In fact, the first instance of Hot Cross Buns can be traced back to about 1,500 BC, to Cecrops, the Founder of Athens [Marquis, p. 18] Later pagans used not just the shape of a Pentalpha star, but also the Hot Cross Bun. Another popular Easter offering were freshly made or purchased clothes! The priests would wear their best clothes, while the Vestal Virgins would wear newly-made white dresses. They would also wear headgear, like bonnets, while many would adorn themselves in garlands of Spring flowers. They would carry wicker baskets filled with foods and candies to offer to the pagan gods and goddesses. Easter Sunrise Services were originated by the priest serving the Babylonian Ishtar to symbolically hasten the reincarnation of Ishtar/Easter. Once again, we see how Satan knew that Jesus' rising from the grave would be discovered in the early sunrise hours, and that the Christian Church would want to hold Sunrise Services to celebrate. Satan and his demons know and believe God's Word and its prophecies literally, and they are allowed a certain amount of foreknowledge. Just as Satan counterfeited the Divine birth of a male child to a Virgin Mother fully 1,000 years before Jesus was actually born, so he counterfeited this Sunrise Service.Lent is purely pagan, and yet has been accepted by the Roman Catholic Church and apostate christian churches as "christian". If the church you are attending celebrates Lent, you need to inform the Senior Pastor of the pagan roots of this tradition; if he will not listen you should leave that church, for if they will accept Lent as "Christian", you can bet they are very Liberal in critical Biblical areas as well. Lent is a commemoration of Tammuz' death; the legend of his death says that he was killed by a wild boar when he was 40 years old. Therefore, Lent celebrates 1 day for each year of Tammuz' life. [Marquis, "America's Occult Holidays"] Participants are to express their sorrow over Tammuz' untimely death by weeping, fasting, and self-chastisement. Lent was commemorated for exactly 40 days prior to the celebration of Ishtar/Esotre and other goddesses by the following cultures: Babylonians, Roman Catholics, Koordistan, Mexicans, Ancient Israel, and today, Liberal, apostate Protestant churches. We can see God's anger over this commemoration of Lent in Ezekiel 8:14-18; God's judgment for this commemoration is described in Ezekiel 9, a chapter we suggest you read carefully, for God has stated that He will similarly punish any nation who does not "hear and obey" His commands (Jeremiah 12:17). b. April 1 - All Fool's Day, precisely 13 weeks since New Year's Day!   c. April 19 - May 1 - Blood Sacrifice To The Beast, a most critical 13-day period. Fire sacrifice is required on April 19. April 19 is the first day of the 13-day Satanic ritual day relating to fire - the fire god, Baal, or Molech/Nimrod (the Sun God), also known as the Roman god, Saturn (Satan/Devil). This day is a major human sacrifice day, demanding fire sacrifice with an emphasis on children. This day is one of the most important human sacrifice days, and as such, has had some very important historic events occur on this day. Remember, the Illuminati considers war to be a most propitious way to sacrifice, for it kills both children and adults. Some of the very important historic dates that were staged according to this blood sacrifice day are: (1). April 19, 1775 - Battle of Lexington & Concord, which made the Masonic-led Revolutionary War inevitable (2). April 19, 1943 - After trapping the last Jewish Resistance Fighters in a storm drain in Warsaw, and holding them for several days, Nazi Storm Troopers began to pour fire into each end of the storm drain, using flame-throwers. They continued pouring the fire into the drain until all fighters were dead. Blood sacrifice brought about by a fiery conflagration. (3) April 19, 1993 - 50 years later, to the day, government troops, tanks, and other military equipment stormed the compound of David Koresh and his followers at Waco, Texas. Certainly, this operation fulfilled the basic requirements for a human sacrifice: trauma, fire, and young sacrificial victims. (4) April 19, 1995 - Oklahoma City bombing - Once again, many young children were killed this day April 19 of any year in the 20th Century is a day of fearful contemplation, for it seems that, as we head into the final stretch of time, Satan is becoming more and more bold, and is using April 19 more often. d. April 30 - May 1 - Beltaine Festival, also called "Walpurgis Night". This is the highest day on the Druidic Witch's Calendar, while May 1 is the Illuminati's second most sacred holiday. Human sacrifice is required. Since the celebration officially began the night before Beltaine, the tradition has developed among occultists to celebrate Beltaine as a 2-day ceremony. This tradition was strong enough that Adolf Hitler decided to kill himself on April 30 at 3:30pm, thus creating a "333" and placing his suicide sacrifice within the Beltaine time frame. Great bonfires are lit on the Eve of Beltaine, April 30, in order to welcome the Earth Goddess. Participants hope to gain favor with this goddess so she will bless their families with procreative fertility. We find it interesting that the Royal House of Windsor lights a Beltaine "Balefire" every year ["America's Occult Holidays", Doc Marquis, p. 30] The "Maypole" originated from the celebration of Beltaine. Since fertility is being asked of the Earth Goddess, the Maypole is the phallic symbol and the circular dance around the pole forms the circle that is symbolic of the female sex organ. Four six-foot alternating red and white ribbons were connected to the pole; the men would dance counterclockwise, while the ladies danced clockwise. The union of the intertwining red and white ribbons symbolized the act of copulation - remember, this is a "fertility" celebration day! To demonstrate their occult, Illuminist ties, Communists have always celebrated "May Day". If you have not been taught how the Illuminati created Communism, and for which purpose, you need to hear our Seminar 2, "America Determines The Flow of History". 3. Summer Solstice - 13 weeks When the sun reaches its northernmost point in its journey across the sky a. June 21 - 22 - Summer Solsticeb. June 21 - Litha is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights c. July 4, America's Independence Day, is 13 days after Day of Litha and 66 days from April 30d. July 19 - 13 days before Lughnasa e. July 31 - August 1 - Lughnasa, Great Sabbat Festival. August - One of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights 4. Autumnal Equinox - 13 weeks Minor Sabbath but does require human sacrifice a. September 21 Mabon - one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights   b. September 21 -22 - Autumnal Equinox From this date through Halloween, occultists believe the veil separating the earthly dimension from the demonic realm gets progressively thinner, with the thinnest night being October 31; this thinning of the separating veil makes it easier for the demonic realm to enter the earthly dimension. Thus, on Halloween, evil spirits, ghosts, witches, hobgoblins, black cats, fairies, and demons of all sorts were believed to be running amok across the land. They had to be back in their spiritual dimension before midnight, Halloween, for the separating veil would then get thicker. Once again, I reiterate, this is occult belief, not mine! October is a most propitious month to the Illuminati. c. October 31 - Samhain Also known as Halloween, or All Hallows Eve as designated by the Catholic Church. This date is the Illuminati's highest day of human sacrifice Halloween has been changed over the past 30 years in two important ways. First, children have been encouraged to participate by donning such inoffensive costumes as Barbie, Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman. Secondly, adult costuming and parties have reached a tremendous apex and has become a most macabre day of celebration. Historically, Halloween is the deadliest holiday ever celebrated in human history. This Satanic night is dedicated to the Celtic Lord of the Dead, also symbolized by the Horned-god and the Stag-god. The Druids celebrated Samhain as a 3-day fire festival, building huge bonfires, thought to ward off demons that roamed around; additionally, the fires provided the means by which the required human sacrifice would be presented to the sun god. In enormous wicker baskets, the priests caged both human and animal sacrifices, which they then lowered into the flames. The priests would carefully watch the manner in which the victim died in order to predict whether the future held good or evil. ["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays", p. 71] Origin of Popular Halloween Traditions Sweets and Trick or Treat This pagan practice is over 2,000 years old. For the sake of their safety and well-being, people put outside their home sweets, the best mutton legs, vegetables, eggs, and poultry, honey and even wine, so the wandering evil spirits would consume them on their way back to the netherworld. Failure to "treat" these evil spirits might result in a curse being put on the home! The people literally believed that, when these spirits came to your door, they would trick you if you did not treat them. "The American version of Halloween came from Ireland ... The potato famine in 1840 brought thousands of immigrants from the Emerald Isle. With them came goblins, jack-0-lanterns, bonfires, apples, nuts, and pranks ... The Irish are also responsible for bringing trick or treating to great popularity in America. In Ireland on October 31, peasants went from house to house to receive offerings to their Druid god, Muck Olla. This procession stopped at each house to tell the farmer his prosperity was due to the benevolence of Muck Olla ... or else misfortune might befall the farmer and his crops. Few farmers risked any such displeasure of the pagan deity, so the procession returned home with eggs, butter, potatoes, and in some cases, coins ... To the Irish farmers this was no joke; they greatly feared the Celtic god might destroy their homes and barns ... Trick or treat is part of this pagan heritage." ["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays". p. 78-79]. Horrifying Costumes People would also take burning wisps from the bonfire and wave them around to frighten the many evil spirits roaming the earth; in case the burning wisp alone would not work, revelers clothed themselves in the most hideous and terrifying costumes. These people believed that, if you dressed in a terrifying costume and went trooping around with the spirits all night, they would think you were one of them and would leave you alone. ["Halloween and Satanism", Phil Philips, p. 26-27]   Huge Bonfires Satan's obsession with fire has produced human obsession with building huge bonfires. As we stated earlier, these bonfires were practical, in that they provided the means by which the priests sacrificed the human and animal sacrifices so crucial to Halloween. When the last fires died out, people would race each other down the hills shouting, "The Devil gets the last one down". [Philips, p. 27-28] Divinations Samhain (Halloween) was also the time to engage the Devil's assistance in divining the future. Questions concerning marriage, luck, health, and the time of one's death were most popular subjects of divination. In Scotland, young people assembled for games and pulled shoots out of the ground to ascertain which of them would marry during the coming year, and in what order the marriages should occur.   Snap Apple Night Apples have long been a token of love and fertility. At Halloween parties, people bobbed for apples in tubs of water. If a boy came up with an apple between his teeth, he was assured of the love of his girl. The Snap Apple game was one in which the boys delighted. Each boy, in his turn, would spring up to attempt to bite an apple that was being twirled on the end of a stick; the first boy to succeed would be the first to marry. Apple seeds were also used to tell fortunes. Peeling an apple in one long piece was supposed to tell a young girl about her future. The girl would swing the apple peal three times around her head, then throw it over her left shoulder. If the peeling fell unbroken, the girl would examine the shape into which it fell to see if she could ascertain the initials of her future husband!   Witch's Familiar Spirits Owls, bats, cats and toads are an essential part of Halloween, and for a very good reason: they are known as "the witch's familiars". A divining familiar was the species of animal whose shape Satan would assume to aid the witch in divining the future. A witch would closely watch the animal's movements - whether slow or fast - and she would see the direction in which the animal moved and the kinds of sounds it made, in order to foretell the length of life and/or an impending illness. Other "familiar spirit" shapes include hens, geese, small dogs, rats, butterflies, wasps crickets, and snails. Witches considered these creatures to be demon-possessed and controlled. If you look closely at most Halloween decorations, you will see these animals, but now you know they represent demon possessed creatures! ["Pagan Traditions of Holidays", p. 75-76]   Jack-O-Lantern and Trick-or-Treat Various names for Jack-O-Lantern were 'Lantern Men', 'Hob-O-Langer', and "Will-O-The-Wisp". The 'Lantern Men' got their name from pale eerie lights that appeared over bogs and marshes in England. These ghostly lights, which bobbed along like a lantern in someone's hand, were called 'Corpse Candles'. Candles were said to be signals from the souls of men lost at sea. ["Halloween and Satanism", Philips, p. 33-34] Celts often hollowed out a turnip and carved a grotesque face on it to fool demons. They carried such lanterns to light their way in the dark and to ward off evil spirits ... While the turnip continues to be popular in Europe today, the pumpkin has replaced it in America. 'Jack' is a nickname for 'John', which is a common slang word meaning 'man'. Jack-O-Lanterns literally means 'man with a lantern'. [Pagan Traditions of the Holidays", p. 79-80]   Druid Trick-or-Treat The Druids originated the practice of hollowing out the Jack-O-Lanterns and filling them with human fat. Whenever a raiding party came to a home to demand of the husband that someone inside be surrendered as a human sacrifice, they would light a Jack-O-Lantern filled with human fat; if the husband relented and provided one of his loved ones as a sacrifice, the Druid party would leave Jack-O-Lantern on the porch. This lantern would be tell the other raiding parties and the demonic host that this party had surrendered a human for sacrifice and that the remaining people inside were to be left alone. Guaranteeing that no one else in the house would be killed that night was the "Treat". If the husband refused to surrender one of his loved ones, a "Trick" would be placed upon the house. The members of the raiding party would draw a large hexagram using human blood on the front door; they got the blood for the hexagram from a dead body they dragged around with them using a cabletow. The demonic host would be attracted to this hexagram and would invade the house, causing one or more of the inhabitants to either go insane or die from fright. ["America's Occult Holidays", p. 20] This is the true origin of "Trick-or-Treat" and the Jack-O-Lantern. Do you really want to take your kids "Trick-or-Treating"?   Forbidden Practices Specially Associated With Halloween God lists Satanic practices that He absolutely forbids, on the pain of death! Every one of them is uniquely associated with Halloween! 1. Enchantment - Act of influencing by charms and incantation using the practice of magical arts. 2. Witchcraft - Dealing with demonic spirits, using their prescribed methods, commonly called rituals and the "magick arts". The Bible forbids it, as in Galatians 5:19-20. Today, thanks to "Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, witchcraft is skyrocketing in popularity. TV shows that depict witches are "Bewitched" and "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", to just mention a couple. Go to a video store sometime and walk down the "Horror" aisle, where you will see the popularity of Witchcraft in America today. 3. Sorcery - Use of power gained from the prescribed rituals demanded by the demonic host. Once the witch or wizard performs the particular ritual correctly, the demonic host is required to provide the power to accomplish that action desired by the witch. 4. Divination - Fortune telling and seeing into the future. God wants us to trust in Him and His power, and not worry about tomorrow. Satan, on the other hand, loves to get people consumed by the idea that they can know what lies ahead of them. 5. Wizardry - The art or practices of a wizard, sorcery. A wizard or witch is one skilled in the magick arts, a sorcerer. 6. Necromancy - Communication with the dead. Specifically, conjuring up the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events. 7. Charm - The practice of putting a spell on someone in order to change or control their mind and/or behavior. Wizards love to get their enemies "one-on-one" because they can "charm" them through the use of ritual done before the meeting, and by the demonic host residing within him. Adolf Hitler followed this practice closely as he dealt with the leaders of Europe, Britain, and Russia. British Prime Minister Chamberlain was totally charmed by Hitler as he sought to appease the German dictator in Munich in 1938; Chamberlain was so totally "charmed" by Hitler, he enthusiastically proclaimed after returning from Munich that he had achieved "peace in our time". When dealing with a powerful member of the Illuminati, do not attempt to meet with him, nor place any confidence in the testimony of people who have met with him. A "charm" ritual is easily performed and results in the leader exuding confidence, character, and sincerity they most assuredly do not possess. 8. Stargazing or Astrology - Divination of the supposed influence of the stars and other heavenly bodies upon human lives and the affairs of nations. Occultists literally order their lives according to Astrology and numerics. 9. Soothsaying - foretelling events and prophesying through a spirit other than the Holy Spirit. 10. Prognostication - To foretell from signs and symptoms, also prophesying without the Holy Spirit. 11. Magic - Tapping into the power of the demonic realm through the use of prescribed ritual so that the action carried out is accomplished through demonic power. All these activities are uniquely associated with the activities and traditions of Halloween! Christians have no business participating in Halloween. To do so is to act against a great number of Scriptures in which God uses the strongest possible language to forbid it. In fact, in most instances, God decreed that people practicing these activities be put to death! Yet, we see many churches having Halloween parties in which many of these pagan practices are followed! The Apostle Paul gave us strong warning that should stop us dead in our tracks. Listen: "Let no one delude and deceive you with empty excuses and groundless arguments for these sins, for through these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of rebellion and disobedience." Ephesians 5:6 Stop listening to people giving you "empty excuses and groundless arguments for these sins", for if you go ahead and participate in this most evil holiday, God shall surely not look away. One final note on Halloween: if you have been paying attention, you will know that these practices form the heart and soul of the Harry Potter novels and movies. Harry Potter is a wizard, and he comes from a family of witches and wizards [Generational Witchcraft]. His entire existence within these novels revolves around the Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, where Harry and his friends learn all of these 11 forbidden practices.

    from CuttingEdge Website As we have repeatedly stated, the Satanist believes that numbers contain inherent power. Thus, they literally order their lives by occult numerology - such numerology also is a key component in astrology, another system of divining that Satanists observe very closely.
