"The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment, let it never appear, in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation."

Frater Annuit Coeptis

Imperator Excelsis, O.·.A.·.I.·.

 Ordo Antichristianus Illuminati^® O.·.A.·.I.·., a private religious fraternity, instructs men and women in theology opposed to Christian Protestantism & ecclesiastic organization. O.·.A.·.I.·. Initiates present academic theses to such collegiate organizations as American Academy of Religion and Society for the Scientific Study of Religion.  Initiates deconstruct Christian-oriented Initiatic heritage of the Western Mystery School.

O.·.A.·.I.·. is a Religious Order dedicated to prospect religious, sexual & psychological mysteries of the sacred feminine. O.·.A.·.I.·. is an exterior college & guild under the auspices of the "Western" and "Eastern" Mystery Schools.   O.·.A.·.I.·. is the thesis of the sacred feminine, the antithesis of Protestant Christianity as an ecclesia, not as a populace or spiritual practice, the synthesis of the former and the latter.  

 The Order derives from Initiatic inheritance of the "Golden Dawn," and its religious collegiate of Rosicruciana, Freemasonry, Tantra, Cabala, Tarot, Hermeticism, sabbatic witchcraft, Alchemy, and Sufism. O.·.A.·.I.·. is an Initiatic Inheritrix of the Golden Dawn defined in minute detail by the secret value of the letters, numbers, sounds, virtues, in Nature, and all other functions of inherited destiny.

Initiates prospect the boundaries of psychology, religion, and sexuality.  O.·.A.·.I.·. is not a social organization, the Order is a private religious fraternity of self-initiation ordained in silence. O.·.A.·.I.·. does not Charter official Temples, Lodges, Grottoes or Churches of Worship.  Antediluvian magic is latent within the heart of every woman and every man of the Order.  Matrons and Brethren of their own predilection ordain and prospect ceremonial rites & arts of the arcane and neoteric.

O.·.A.·.I.·. is a triad of three Grades of self-Initiation called the Hermit, the Lover, and the man of Earth.  The progressive Triad of initiation derives from the supernal emanations contained in the Sefirot of the Holy Qabalah.  Postulants seeking to Petition for membership, and initiate themselves into the O.·.A.·.I.·., must be eighteen years of age or older, and must be serious in efforts to ordain the Path and execute the Great Work.

The O.·.A.·.I.·.  as a learned society and professional collegiate liaison for religious fraternities and research scholars, has peers in colleges, universities, and religious societies in North America and abroad. The Order prospects the theoretical boundaries between religion, psychology, and sexuality: dedicated to furthering ordained knowledge of the triad's liaison with the history of Mankind. Whereas, there exists unknown to the great universities, a hidden history of religion that has counseled the perception of the greater heritage of Mankind, the Order studies the religion, psychology, sexuality triad's role in the paradigm shift. Religion has been a vital source for some of our greatest artistic and literary masterpieces. Studies of sex from psychological, eugenic, sociological, anthropological, and contemporary religious research have spawned epidemically. Religion and the primal eugenic imperative to breed is latent in the human genome.

 The Order does not endorse or condemn any religious tradition or set of religious beliefs or practices. Our commitment is, rather, to collegiate standards of ordained knowledge. Religion, religious fraternities, and the Information Technology revolution coexist where science and art marry, and where imagination and the eugenic imperative for Illuminism decode religious-sexual meme. Centuries ago, our forefathers gave us a design of religion and science called Illuminism, also referred to as the "Enlightenment." The Freemasons and Rosicrucians that parented the United States pronounced the notion that the "great experiment" was, and is, a prime agent of the divine in the human epoch The Masonic and Rosicrucian Epopts that parented the United States posited the notion that a free Republic was, and is, a prime agent of the divine in the human epoch.  The great American endeavour was well preserved via a noble and subsurface class of religious fraternities. Thomas Jefferson declared: "As revolutionary instruments {when nothing but revolution will cure the evils of the State}, secret societies are necessary and indispensable, and the right to use them is inalienable by the people." {Thomas Jefferson to William Duane, c. 1803}. Under the ægis of obscurity and secrecy, religious fraternities overall tend to be sectarian, regarding their native ordained knowledge far beyond the capacity of other sects. O.·.A.·.I.·. as a learned society works to secure the field of theology and the arcane Arte for the future as a liaison between researchers & religious fraternal orders.

Faith must not lead Mankind to a "dictatorship of relativism." Religion, on the other hand must not lead the faithful to a schizophrenia of philosophy. Religion must not become to Mankind an anesthesia. O.·.A.·.I.·. works to impregnate in the efforts of its researchers and liaisons to religious fraternal orders a catharsis of sacred study. The principal means of the O.·.A.·.I.·. program are direct engagement with religious fraternal orders, fellowship in academic & religious societies such as the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, the Philosophical Research Society, Theta Alpha Kappa, Hermetic Academy, Gnostic Society, and various other organizations. Leilah Publications, LLC is the principal instrument for disseminating the fruits of the O.·.A.·.I.·. In addition to published literature, CDs, and DVDs of the Inheritance; Leilah Publications, LLC also publishes a bi-annual journal of scholarly articles, workshops, seminars, and collegiate activities. Illuminati Coast to Coast is an Internet radio program broadcasting unique shows on esoteric religion, the occult, secret societies, sacred scriptures, and much more.

O.·.A.·.I.·. operates in association with Leilah Publications, LLC.

 Postulants seeking to Petition into the O.·.A.·.I.·., and Initiates of the Order, must actively pursue a degree from an accredited college, technical, or trade school.

Heritage of the Illuminati & bloodlines of the Alma Mâter

Those who ascended from the nether-world were of the solar race who came into existence with the sun as it is represented in the legendary lore, that is, when the solar mythos was established. The tradition of the dog-star people found in various countries is that they were born when no sun or moon as yet had come into existence. That is, they were pre-solar and pre-lunar in their reckoning of time. These are they, as was said by the Egyptians, who issued from the eye of Sut, or Darkness, the earliest type of which we reckon to have been Sothis, whether as the pole-star in the southern or the northern heaven. These were the Blackheads, Medsu’Bedset of the dim beginnings in the stellar mythology. Following them, come the people born from the eye of Horus, which was a symbol of the moon. These were held to be the lunar race. Lastly came the children of the sun. Thus, the eye as symbol of a repeating period was stellar as the eye of Sut; it was lunar as the eye of Horus; it was solar as the eye of Ra.

The Elder Gods and Goddesses of the first races developed their praeter-human powers from the Chthonian magic that originated with and from the earth, not from hybrid ancestral human “spirits” and totemic animal magic. The Alma Māter indeed was the only primeval source worshipped first by the ancient river-societies who transformed their river-based societies into imperial religions and city-states. Various manifestations of the Great Earth-Mother in myth and personified in nature tell us that before the Sun and solar religion, the earth-Mother was the birthplace and abode of all stellar and terrestrial life. In Ægypt she was depicted as a zootypical pregnant beast, the Hippopotamus, the Crocodile bringing forth inundation, or the Sacred Cow of Hathor who gave birth to the imperial bloodlines of Ægypt and blessed them with all the forms of Art.

Hathor was also known as the Mistress of Life, the Great Wild Cow, the Golden One, the Mistress of Turquoise, Lady of Dendera {Dendera, city-capital of her cult centre}, Lady to the Limit {of the Duat}, Lady of Punt {an ancient Nubian city to which - see Hatshepsut led an expedition}, the Powerful One, the Mistress of the Desert, Lady of the Southern Sycamore {Hathor dispatched water to the deceased from a sycamore tree, hence a goddess of water and of caring for the dead, both relating to the sycamore tree), and Lady of Malachite {eye cosmetics from Sinai was made from green malachite stone}. In the beginning of Ægyptian creation theology, the Word, the Logos, was not the god, but the Alma Māter.

The Alma Māter is the source and sustenance of life with her own blood, which led to the myth of salvation through consecration of blood, through the blood of Isis, the Holy Virgin. Therefore, before the advent of the first Christianities, racial purification and salvation came via maternal blood, not by filial blood. When Isis conceived the Logos, the Conquering Child Horus, she adorned a red tet-amulet that represented her saving blood. Hebrews IX:22 states “All things are cleansed with blood, and apart from the shedding of blood there is no remission,” thus the ideal of purification by matrilineal blood was human, and did not originate from the sacrificial blood of an animal such as the bull or other beast of burden.

The origin of blood consecrated by the Alma Māter was the earliest forms of esoteric knowledge imparted by pseudo-legendary teachers of secret wisdom. The earliest form of the purifying blood was matrilineal. It was the flowing blood of Isis, the Alma Māter, through which Horus manifested, the blood in which rites of purification were founded as a form of elemental and bodily cleansing. This is the sole origin in which all rituals relate allegorically to blood, within a doctrine of cleansing by blood {the Mithraic sacrifice, also the Christian Eucharist, or early Rite of Agapæ} in later theology that placed a male sacrificial victim in Rituals to shed the atoning, cleansing blood upon an animal. There was no other way for the soul to be purified and prepared for entry into the afterlife other than the blood effected through the Alma Māter.

Thus, for the incarnation of Horus, there was never any other incarnation from the blood of Isis, save for Horus the ever-coming Sun, no saviour by racial blood {be it Semitic or Nubian} was expected save through the blood of Isis in the entire realm of unperverted Nature. Nature unaided is triumphant. No messianic transaction could occur in history, nor could the saviour be personal, nor every tree upon the earth cut into a cross with effigies of bleeding bodies hanging, without the purification of blood through Alma Māter. This cleansing originated, as we have already stated, through the blood of Isis {or other local Goddesses such as Hathor}, who birthed Horus as a red calf, or lamb, personifying the Son of Man whose virgin blood redeems us again and again in doctrines of eschatology.

Effectively, to substitute the blood of a Jew shed upon a tree cut down to form a cross by means of ritual atonement for sins and cleansing the spirit through the “blood of the lamb” for the natural cleansing of the Alma Māter’s blood was the obscenest form of profanity to initiates who knew the secrets of the doctrine in human phenomena transmitted as a ritual cleansing by baptism, sprinkling with blood, drinking blood, or pasting the female menses during ritual coitus. Natural blood sacrifice transcended human physiology and was a celebration of nourishing life and sustenance, never a symbol of death or messianic atonement. Blood in Ægyptian theology was one of seven elements from which a soul of life was birthed. Blood followed air, water, heat, vegetation, breath, light, or other æthereal elements derived from the vital fluid. Not any blood, not menstrual blood, only the blood of the pubescent virgin who was personalized in the divine virgin Neith, Isis, or Mary birthed the necessary conditions for a soul of life.

Semitic myth has man, Adam or Ish, created from a soul of blood, breathed into life by the Lord of the Elements. Blood and the Semitic Adam are synonymous with racial purity in myth, as the previous races derived their souls from totemic animals not by ancestral blood. The forms of the Ægyptian “worldly” spirit {the Ren, the Ba, the Khaibt, the Sekhem, the Ab, Akhu, Kha, and Sheut} derived from elements of air, earth, and water combined, as the human soul was differentiated from these with blood. Blood in ancient Ægypt consecrated pharaohs and the priesthood via the line of the virgin mother, the pubescent virgin ready for connubium – the right to contract a Roman betrothal.
The virgin goddess Neith, associated with hunting, was represented by the vulture, the winged beast of blood who gave suck to her young with her own blood. Isis was symbolized by the red heifer while she nursed the red-pigmented calf Horus as her child. Thus the first renderings of pre-anthropomorphic figures in ancient Ægypt bore matriarchic traits as primal humans adopted to their desert societies, the holiness of blood and virginal pubescence is seen in zootypes, ritual sacrifices, and ceremonial hunts.

The female menstruation cycle was understood in the ancient fertile river valleys of Jordan, Tigris, Euphrates, and the Nile as linked to the moon. The meeting of the Sun and Moon in Amenta occurred under lunar auspices; once every twenty-nine days, thus these mystical seasons made up the first Ægyptian calendrical measurements. The menses, or mensis, was the sacred female blood driven by the moon. In Semitic hygiene laws the wife was not to be looked upon, like the new moon she reached her “retirement” once a month. Semitic hygiene and marital laws degraded women:

 “And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever

toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every

thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself

 in water, and be unclean until the even. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his

 clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth,

 when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall

be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days

out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be

 as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of

 her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. And whosoever toucheth those

things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. But if she be cleansed of

her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her

two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest

shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD

for the issue of her uncleanness.” { Leviticus XV:19-30}

Other passages declared it taboo and disgraceful to be near a woman during menstruation: “And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.” {Leviticus XX:18}

On the sixth day of the New Moon, Osiris re-entered the orb and paid his first visit to the Lady of Light in the new lunar month. When that allegory was first made Amenta was not known as the monthly meeting place for Moon and Sun by night. It had only been observed that they did not meet by day. Isis, veiled in black, goes down to the netherworld in search of slain Osiris. It was only there they ever met, He as the Bull of Eternity, She as the Red Heifer, a later type than the Frog-Hag of Hekat. The mystical Bride who was not to be seen naked was personated by the Wife who wore the bridal veil, or the Wife whose face was never to be seen by her husband until she had born him a child: or who is only to be visited under cover of night. For, like the Sun and the Moon, they dwelt in separate huts and only rendezvoused by stealth.

The Apocryphal Gospel of the Ægyptians reads: “When ye have trampled on the garment of shame, and when the two become one and the male with the female is neither male nor female.” The gnosis of the metaphysical matrimony, heiros gamos {Greek}, fulfills the human soul as the bride whom receives the primordial seed of light, lost to us by the folly of our makers. Praxis of the ancient rite of mysterium coniunctionis, divine betrothal, in the mystery traditions of Seraphis and Eleusis, inseminated in the human soul a new breed of spiritual being in flesh and psyche. Concerning the nature of sexual renunciation in the mystical marriage, we have several Gnostic references, the first from the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas: “Jesus says: ‘many stand outside at the door, but it is only the solitaries who will enter into the bridal chamber.’” {Thomas v.75} Secondly, according to the ‘Acts of Phillip,’ the ordained redemption of Mankind rests in executing the sacrament of the bridal chamber: the Baptism is the holy vestibule, the Atonement is the holy of the holiness, the holy of the holinesses is the Bridal-Chamber. Baptism has the resurrection with the Atonement entering into the Bridal-Chamber. Yet the Bridal-Chamber is more exalted than those are. “Thou will find nothing that compares with it.” {Phillip v.82}

In the bridal chamber, this ordained gnosis occurs through sexual praxis wherein the seeds of light guarantee the eternal fertility of Mankind. The rites of the bridal chamber metaphorically reciprocated matrimony in the seven planetary powers of the Valentinian system, hence the Hermetic axim, "as above, so it is below.” All things disseminate from the mysteries of sexuality; redemption, baptism, the black Eucharist all goes forth from the primeval bridal chamber. The concluding passage of the Gospel of Phillip thusly states the gnostic Eucharist of the bridal chamber:

“If someone becomes a Son of the Bridal-Chamber, he shall receive the Light. If one does not receive it in these places, he will not be able to obtain it in the other place. He who has received that Light shall not be seen, nor shall they be able to seize him; nor shall anyone be able to disturb this one of this nature, even if he socializes in the world. And furthermore, when he leaves the world he has already received the truth via the imagery. The world has become eternity, because the fullness is for him the eternal. And it is thus revealed to him individually, not hidden in the darkness or the night, but rather hidden in a Perfect Day and a Holy Light.”

Alma Māter through the authentic bloodlines of the Sons of the Snake and their Watchers {the Nephilim} engineers the genotypes of Man. Through her genealogical inheritance the custodians of esoteric knowledge possessed in Her lineages all the seeds of religions, prophecies, and arts. Alma Māter, the Virgin Isis, She the Black Madonna is all that has been, that is, or shall be; no mortal man has ever come nigh to Her mystery save those who pass through the most dire trials and sacrifices. Godfrey Higgins, in his Anacalypsis, derives the name of Isis from the Hebrew ישע, Iso, and the Greek ζωω, “to save.”

Apuleius in Book XI of The Golden Ass ascribes to the goddess the following statement concerning her powers and attributes: “Behold,___, I, moved by thy prayers, am present with thee; I, who am Nature, the parent of things, the queen of all the elements, the primordial progeny of ages, the supreme of Divinities, the sovereign of the spirits of the dead, the first of the celestials, and the uniform resemblance of Gods and Goddesses. I, who rule by my nod the luminous summits of the heavens, the salubrious breezes of the sea, and the deplorable silences of the realms beneath, and whose one divinity the whole orb of the earth venerates under a manifold form, by different rites and a variety of appellations. Hence the primogenial Phrygians call me Pessinuntica, the mother of the Gods, the Attic Aborigines, Cecropian Minerva; the floating Cyprians, Paphian Venus; the arrow-bearing Cretans, Diana Dictynna; the three-tongued Sicilians, Stygian Proserpine; and the Eleusinians, the ancient Goddess Ceres. Some also call me Juno, others Bellona, others Hecate, and others Rhamnusia. And those who are illuminated by the incipient rays of that divinity the Sun, when he rises, viz. the Ethiopians, the Arii, and the Egyptians skilled in ancient learning, worshipping me by ceremonies perfectly appropriate, call me by my true name, Queen Isis.”

Statues of Isis were decorated with the sun, moon, and stars, and many emblems pertaining to the earth, over which She nourished and ruled as Nature personified. Several icons of Black Isis have been found upon which marks of her dignity and dominion remain. Alma Māter was represented as partly nude, often pregnant, sometimes loosely covered with a garment either of green or black color, or of four different pigments intermingled of black, white, yellow, and red. Apuleius describes her imperial majesty:

“In the first place, then, her most copious and long hairs, being gradually intorted, and promiscuously scattered on her divine neck, were softly defluous. A multiform crown, consisting of various flowers, bound the sublime summit of her head. And in the middle of the crown, just on her forehead, there was a smooth orb resembling a mirror, or rather a white refulgent light, which indicated that she was the moon. Vipers rising up after the manner of furrows, environed the crown on the right hand and on the left, and Cerealian ears of corn were also extended from above. Her garment was of many colours, and woven from the finest flax, and was at one time lucid with a white splendour, at another yellow from the flower of crocus, and at another flaming with a rosy redness. But that which most excessively dazzled my sight, was a very black robe, fulgid with a dark splendour, and which, spreading round and

passing under her right side, and ascending to her left shoulder, there rose protuberant like the center of a shield, the dependent part of the robe falling in many folds, and having small knots of fringe, gracefully flowing in its extremities. Glittering stars were dispersed through the embroidered border of the robe, and through the whole of its surface: and the full moon, shining in the middle of the stars, breathed forth flaming fires. Nevertheless, a crown, wholly consisting of flowers and fruits of every kind, adhered with indivisible connexion to the border of that conspicuous robe, in all its undulating motions. What she carried in her hands also consisted of things of a very different nature. For her right hand, indeed, bore a brazen rattle {sistrum} through the narrow lamina of which bent like a belt, certain rods passing, produced a sharp triple sound, through the vibrating motion of her arm. An oblong vessel, in the shape of a boat, depended from her left hand, on the handle of which, in that part in which it was conspicuous, an asp raised its erect head and largely swelling neck. And shoes woven from the leaves of the victorious palm tree covered her immortal feet.”

Nature contains Nature,
Nature rejoices in her own nature,
Nature surmounts Nature;
Nature cannot be amended but in her own nature.

In the ancient Song of Songs, popularly credited to King Solomon, containing elements of goddess worship and allegedly dedicated to the Queen of Sheba, spikenard is mentioned as a fragrance used at royal banquets. This is a reference to the ‘hieros gamos,’ the sacred marriage, between the divine priest-king and his bride/priestess representing God and Goddess. In the 12th century A.D. St Bernard identified the bride in this erotic poem with Mary of Bethany. Bernard was the patron of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon {Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici} and a supporter of the medieval cultus of the Black Madonna who some have identified as Alma Māter, the Virgin Isis/Mary.

The Virgin Mother ordained her Holy Guardian Angel to the fiat she uttered, giving consent for the redemption of Man to again birth the rites of Meithras and Osiris and to hide them. Evocatory reproductions of the mystical matrimony beyond the finitude of time and space are paralleled by the Garden texts of the Holy Bible, the Judaic Covenant with the God of Israel, the Serapis mysteries of Isis wed to Osiris, the Christ Bridegroom metaphysically wed with the Magdalene, and the Congregation married to the Virgin Mary. Women in cultures such as Akkad, Sumer, and Mesopotamia were the recipients of incantations, and love sonnets that engendered male fertility. Even in patriarchal cultures, much incantation and prayer were committed to woman in hopes of fertility, at least in the latter cultures; the goddess had a place other than ‘consort’ to solar-phallic deities. In ancient Israel, this was not the case, as the Song of Solomon reflects eroticism shared between lovers: a rare text in a society that marginalized women and sex.

The Song of Solomon reflects the theme of Woman as fertile garden to ‘tame’ and ‘reap’ in ancient cultures. The psalm affirms eroticism often ignored and even objectified. Eroticism in the Song of Solomon is elusive, allegorical, yet blatant in display of sexual love, likely misunderstood by our contemporary hedonistic society. Solomon as seen by his lover in the Psalm is essentially ‘pure,’ anointed with oils and spices; Solomon to his lover is the idealized man and vice versa. The gardens of love often are tainted in Biblical lore, only renewed by eroticism of the mystic, leading to the pain of division as if a metaphysical war between the sexes. The sexual references throughout the canticle refer to the yearning of the mystic, of Yahweh for Israel’s spiritual love and vice versa, with the latter divided for love’s sake and for the chance of union. The reference to each other by Solomon and his concubine lover in the text as "brother" and "sister" propose an incestuous longing. Incest was a common practice to secure the bloodline in ancient cultures that included Egypt, Mesopotamia, Sumer, and Akkad.

There is speculation that Mary the Magdalene came from the tribe of Benjamin and was a princess of the royal blood. In the 8th century A.D. the Archbishop of Mayence wrote a biography of Mary in which he claims her mother was related to the Hasmonean royal house of Israel. Although the Church, for its own evil ends denounced her as a prostitute, only a wealthy and high-ranking lady could have obtained supplies of spikenard to make an anointing unguent. It is absolutely logical that if Jesus, a prince of the royal house of David, was to marry he would seek out as a bride someone like himself who was of royal blood. A union between the House of Bethany and the House of David would have provided a double claim to Israel. Theologians believe Micah’s prophecy does not refer to Jerusalem at all. Instead it may allude to the enforced exile of a princess of the royal blood, ‘the daughter of Sion,’ after the execution of her husband, the rightfully anointed king of Israel.

The proto-orthodox communities and scriptures of early Christianity depicted sexuality as an anti-spiritual force. Such attitudes certainly were not innate to proto-Christian orthodoxy, but imitate early Greek Pythagorean philosophy that encouraged disassociation from sex, Jewish hygiene, and marital laws in the Book of Leviticus, and the Stoic movement with its cultivation of apatheia, disassociate emotion. Theologian David Carr illustrates the parallels of metaphysical marriage between the Church and God’s people by uncovering the context of the “Song of Solomon” as indicative, reflective of the holy matrimony between Christ and the Magdalene. Origen of Alexandria {A.D. c.185-254} equated Mary Magdalene figuratively with the royal bride and object of King Solomon’s fancy in the Song of Solomon.

Writing in the 13th century A.D., the Archbishop of Genoa, James de Voragine, claimed quite openly, and heretically, that Mary of Magdalene had been a wealthy woman with a royal background. Far from being the ‘fallen harlot’ and social outcast falsely depicted by the Church, the archbishop claimed she had been the daughter of a Syrian noble and a woman called Euchania one of the titles given to the Greek goddess of love Aphrodite. In the Middle East this goddess was known as Astarte and it has been claimed that Solomon originally dedicated his temple in Jerusalem to her orgiastic worship. Some writers have linked the Church’s slander that Mary was a prostitute with the so-called ‘temple prostitutes’ who served Aphrodite and Astarte. They were probably the women described as sitting outside the gates of Solomon’s temple ‘weeping for Tammuz’. Mary, her sister Martha and brother Lazarus allegedly owned seven castles or fortified houses, the village of Bethany and other land within the precincts of Jerusalem itself.

Icons of the Madonna are said by the orthodox to represent the Blessed Virgin Mary and Child, yet as we have already discussed, the Black Madonna images also are of Mary Magdalene and Sara. St Bernard wrote the rule of the Templars, which was based on obedience to ‘Bethany, the castle of Mary and Martha.’ He also as we learned earlier, compared Mary to the ‘black and comely bride’ invoked in Song of Songs. Bernard in a revealing letter to the king of Jerusalem the saint compares Jesus to Solomon and he also mentions the Queen of Sheba. Jesus himself, curiously, told the Pharisees that the ‘Queen of the South’ would return from the dead to judge them! ‘Queen of the South’ is title for Sheba.

St Bernard uncovers some revealing iconography of Mary Magdalene as an central figure in the cult of the Black Virgin.
The Templars were “guardians” of the Holy Grail; their heretical beliefs were said to have been inspired by the Egyptian Mysteries and the gnostic-hermetic views of Alexandria. Images of the Black Madonna were allegedly brought back from the crusades by the Templars; and there are strong links between the troubadour and Cathari movement in southern France, with its idealized courtly love of the sacred feminine, and the Templars and the Grail mythos. The Templars worshipped the Egyptian goddesses Isis and Ba’ast –goddesses who are depicted with black pigment and skin color.

The Black Madonna represents all the icons of the Alma Māter; Black Isis, Ishtar, Astarte and Lilith. Alma Māter in her guise as the Black Madonna adopts numerous roles on the exoteric in the secret tradition the Black Virgin. She represents Sophia the gnosis of ‘Divine Wisdom’ to lost Christianities, in the Qabalah she is the Shechinah or ‘Bride of God’ who is also said to be Lilith despite the fact that orthodox Rabbinic Jews represents this originally Sumerian owl goddess of the dark moon as a vampyric night-hag and baby murderer. The Black Madonna embodies the undercurrent of occult knowledge preserved from ancient pagan teachings the Illuminati harvested in 12th century Europe, in the Renaissance, and in our age as the erotic cults adore her across blood and history.
