forehead. See “Freemason,” and you find that Washington wears the same symbol on his stomach. Look at Brahma, who carries the rosary in his hand, a symbol of identical significance. Refer to “Glory,” and you see Christ standing in the Mark of the Beast. Turn to Vesica Piscis, where the Virgin stands in her symbol, the symbol of the hideous faith of the Witches’ Sabbath, a faith coeval with the dawn of time, spawned in the slums of chaos. Astarte or Ashtoreth was the moon goddess and Queen of Heaven and patron of immorality.—Ency. Brit. 2:735. Mary is the same as Venus and Diana, the moon goddess.—Elephas Levi, the priest.
The Hindu Litany of Our Lady Nari, the Virgin, says: “Holy Nari. Mariama, Mother of an Incarnate God, Mother of Christna, Virgin Most Chaste, Queen of Heaven.” The Egyptian Litany of Our Lady Isis says: “Holy Isis, Mother of Gods, Mother of Horus, Virgin Sacred Earth, Isis, Queen of Heaven.” The Christian Litany says: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, Mother of Christ, Virgin Most Chaste, Queen of Heaven.”—Isis Unveiled, 209.
Why does St. Peter (Petra, the Rock God) as shown by his statue in Rome, hold up three fingers and make the circle or Eye with the other two fingers? Why is the Christian Benedictional, like the Totem Pole of the Indians, covered with the so-called All-Seeing Eye? Why is the Eye on the stomach of the Bishop, where he does not need it? This is a very occult matter that can be disclosed only to the initiates of the foul religions.—See Book of All Religions, 467.
“Religion is a monstrous fraud and delusion that has desolated the earth and filled the spirit world with demons.”—Antiquity Unveiled, 58.
The Gnostics claimed that it was Ilda Baoth, the Devil, that overshadowed Mary, instead of Gabriel. “The female Serpent of the Sky, the Mother, is imaged in Buddhism by the lotus, the water, the female fish. Her mansion is in Virgo. By Manu she is called the Spirit of God (the Holy Ghost) but she represents matter as well as spirit.”—Buddha & Early Buddhism, 20. Mare and Mary mean the sea, and the fish god Jesus, of course, came out of the sea.
“The bells used by the Christians came to them directly from the Buddhists, Thibetans and Chinese, who used them to attract the gods. The beads and rosary have the same origin, and have been used by Buddhist monks for over 2300 years.”—Isis Unveiled, 95. The Jews used bells to warn their god that some dupe was about to adore him, so that he would have a chance to change his character and not appear as the ass-headed god.—Epiphanius, Gospel of Mary. In China and India they ring the church bell to call god and the other ghosts to dinner, and after the spirits have eaten, the remnants of the sacrifices are thrown by the priests to the dogs of worshippers, the scum of the earth, who furnished the offerings. The church bell in Japan is called “Call God,” and we, having copied our religion from the Buddhist, ring our church bells to call God to listen to our fool prayers, and every Sunday he walks a leg off hustling around to the millions of places of superstition.
A statue of the cow Hathor, with the moon between her horns, was unearthed in a temple of Egypt. This is the mother of Horus, also called Ies and Iesu and Jesu in Egypt. And to further fix her catholicity beyond question she is covered with Christian crosses. If you refer to “Isis,” Stand. Dic., you will see that the Egyptian Madonna wears horns and the full moon on her head. The moon goddess of Peru was called Mamma Quilka, or Mother Moon, the mother of all the Incas, and the real pious devotees got soused on corn whiskey in her holy worship.
The Christians sacrificed cakes with holes in them to Mary, Queen of Heaven.—Ency. Brit. 15:391. This is the very idolatry for which Jehovah drove the Jewish nation out of Palestine. In Jeremiah, 44:19, the Jews say: “We burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings unto her and made cakes to worship her.” And Jeremiah says in verse 22: “Because of these abominations which you have committed, therefore is your land a desolation and a curse, without an inhabitant as at this day.”
The Buddhists say: “Upon a lotus of precious stones sustaining a moon crescent sits Buddha Matra” (the Mother of God). The Chinese invocation says: “Hail Matra”, and they call her “Our Lady, the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of Buddha.”—Buddha & Early Buddhism, 22. The fact that the Queen of Heaven existed as a goddess in the time of Jeremiah, before Christianity was spawned, shows that the Buddhists did not steal their Queen of Heaven from the Christians as charged.
In Josephus, Book 8, ch. 11, it is seen that Shishac subdued Israel and erected some charming pillars on which were carved captivating female symbols, which they worshipped. Jereboam erected two aesthetic heifers, images of Hathor for the worship and spiritual edification of the Jews. In Judges, 3:7, it is asserted that Israel served Baalim and the Grove. Baalim are images of Baal, male emblems, corresponding to the candles and manikins (sons of man) of the Witches’ Sabbath, called images of men in Ezek. 16:17. I think that the christ of the Hebrews was the candle, and that they sacrificed him every Friday, the same as the Christians do their fish god. The candle is the appropriate offering to a goddess, and it may have been Ashtoreth.
The Mezuzah, which is nailed on the door post, corresponds with the pillars erected by Shishac, for it is a miniature pillar with an oval hole on the side, which hole it is necessary to kiss, as we kiss the male and female emblems on the Pax to secure eternal life. In the hole is one of the names of god, Shaday, one of the female Sephiroth or persons of the godhead. If you refer to “Altar,” Stand. Dic., you will see the people worshipping the hole in the Mezuzah, or the Virgin standing in her symbol above the altar, which is all the same.
The phylactery, worn on the forehead and on the left arm, contains passages of Scripture, which must be printed on the skin of the cow, the mother of christ, and the phylactery itself, must be made of the skin of christ, the calf. God himself wore phylacteries according to the Talmud.
Dianus, or the sun, or god, had twelve wives, capturing a new one whenever he entered a new sign of the zodiac. It was Rhea in the sign of the Twins, and Hathor in the sign of Taurus, and Mary in the sign of Pisces. One of his wives was Diana of the Ephesians, the object of a foul worship in Asia Minor. She wears upon her head the crescent moon, and she is Mary, the Queen of Heaven. She bears six lions in her arms, because she is the mother of all the gods. Six christs have been born since she ruled the heavens in the sign of Virgo. The christ who came in the sign immediately following Virgo was Leo. It is one and the same god, the sun, that comes in every sign, consequently they are all lions.

Religious Symbolism.
This is the Egyptian Tau Cross, the symbol of Apis, the bull, and other male gods:
And this is the cross ansata of Egypt,
You place the three balls of the pawnbroker or the shamrock of Ireland on top of the shaft, and you have the most archaic form of the cross, before which the devils tremble and fall in a fit. Christian crosses, wreaths, bells, squares, eyes, Asherim and Baalim have been discovered in the ruins of Gaza, in the fourth
