All roads lead to Rome.
That said, I guess it’s better to say: all roads lead to ancient Egypt, or even better: Ancient Babylon. To see why this is true, I’ll show a couple of secret signs hidden from the people. Firstly, the Marlboro brand. They used some very interesting signs and symbols in their logo. One of them is the pyramid, and the two masonic pillars in the word MARLBORO, the l & b seems to stand for the two pillars of masonry, and paganism. The two pillars also stand for the number 11, which is the favorite number of Aleister Crowley, and many masons, because of it’s synchronicity in for example: 2×11=22, 3×11=33, and with the number 11 you can create a numerical pyramid. Coincidence? that might be if you believe in coincidence.
The pyramid in the Marlboro logo is very obvious, and as you can see, only the left “horse” has a crown. The left side, is the sun entering the Pyramid, but it’s also the gateway to the constellation Orion. Below, you can see the two masonic pillars, which stand for The Pillars of Hercules.
Here i’ve drawn the pyramid’s internals over the Marlboro package, as you can see, the Kings Chamber is near the first horse, the crowned King symbolized as the number 1:
Here is an image of the two pillars, which is a very old Pagan symbol for strength:
 
The two pillars is also used in Satanic communication, the most obvious one is the use of the Corna. This is the “horned hand”. This symbols is very old indeed, contrary to what many believe, it’s meant for casting a spell to whom the fingers are pointed to. So by using the symbol, you are casting a spell unto someone. below you can see that two fingers are pointed upwards, also symbolizing the two pillars of masonry.
While that is such a striking coincidence, there is another very interesting symbol hidden inside the “Nazi greet”. This signs also used in Roman and Greek times, was meant to say loosely translated: “those who make this sign are ready to die for the King”. I found that when Adolf Hitler was walking in the middle of two groups who make the nazi greet, he used to hold his hand back, this way he could recieve the greet instead of casting the greet.
The angle of the arm in a nazi greet, resembles again a pyramid. Where the person who is walking in the center, is the capstone of the pyramid. The two persons on both sides, again create the two pillars in an angle, creating the pyramid and the sign: “11″ which is as we know a very important number:
Here I’ve drawn the Pyramid, as you can see, the Nazi greetings on both sides create the pyramid, and the person in it’s center is the capstone and the all seeing eye:

Parte II - Los Símbolos.
El uso de figuras geométricas en símbolos tiene un trasfondo muy amplio del cual solo voy a tomar lo que considero más importante. Para iniciar con esto voy a retomar uno de los principios universales mencionados por Hermes Trismegisto: El Principio de Vibración.
El Principio de Vibración dice: "Nada está inmóvil, nada reposa; todo se mueve, todo vibra". Con esto quiero explicar la influencia vibratoria que tienen los símbolos, las formas, las figuras y los colores. Para esto quiero contar una pequeña anécdota.
En una clase de idioma hebreo al cual asistí para hablar sobre los temas de los que trato en esta página, salió a flote el tema que corresponde al problema por el cual está pasando actualmente la zona arqueológica de "La Tierra donde los hombres se convierten en dioses", mejor conocida como Teotihuacan. La problemática allí tiene que ver con que el gobierno a traves de algunas instituciones tratan de instalar iluminación artificial en las intalaciones de las pirámides. Este tipo de instalaciones pueden llegar a provocar daños severos en la estructura de la zona arqueológica hasta el grado de que en este caso, la pirámide del sol, se pueda venir abajo.
Una de mis guías espirituales, nos comentó una vez que si la pirámide del Sol de Teotihuacan se venía abajo, prácticamente todo estaría perdido y era mejor que nos pusiéramos a "orar" por ayuda externa, el motivo de esto tiene que ver con que Las Pirámides del Sol y la Luna en Teotihuacan están ubicadas en un vórtice de energía muy poderoso que está conectado directamente con Giza, Machupichu, Puno y el Tibet. Si alguna de esas estructuras perdieran esa conexión "energética-astral", habría la posibilidad de un desvalance energético en la Tierra tremendo causando estragos inimaginables.
Al escuchar esto, la "maestra" que estaba dirigiendo la clase a la cual fuí invitado hizo el comentario siguiente: "Bueno pues no importa que las pirámides se vengan abajo por que si nosotros mantenemos en nuestramente la estructura de esa pirámide la energía no se perdería. Las pirámides tienen una carga energética por que nosotros le damos ese poder con nuestra mente". Mi respuesta fue explicar que eso no puede ser del todo así. Primeramente para que nosotros como seres podamos sostener la energía de esa forma tendríamos que tener un dominio pleno y de un grado muy elevado al respecto, cosa que aún no conseguimos a nivel planetario. Por otro lado, hice énfasis de que las pirámides no estaban allí nada más por que a alguien se le ocurrió de la nada ó por que dijo "voy a poner unas pirámides aquí para que se vean bien chidas", entonces dí la explicación de los vórtices de energía y además hice referencia al principio de vibración.
Cualquier cosa que está manifestada en este plano físico tiene un nivel de vibración de acuerdo a su color, forma y trazo. Un símbolo, un objeto, un monumento o cualquier cosa en si, por si solo podría no tener una carga energética, sin embargo, no es así. El símbolo por sí sólo tiene una carga vibracional y energética, pero está en un estado pasivo, la energía comenzará a fluir en el momento en el que ese símbolo, objeto, monumento o instrumento sea magnetizado con el pensamiento y la inteción de la persona que está haciendo uso de él.
Es como un "conjuro", un decreto, una oración, una invocación; pueden estar escritos allí por milenios, pero no van a tener un efecto hasta que alguien los lea, los entienda y los pronuncie. Es como si escribieras una carta para tu pareja o para una chica que te gusta, pero si nunca se la das y nunca la lee, por consiguiente no va a surtir efecto y ella nunca sabrá lo que sientes por ella. Lo mismo sucede con los símbolos.
Es por eso que los logotipos de las grandes corporaciones "Illuminati" o de otros grupos elitistas están repletos de simbología y colores. Sobretodo de simbología sagrada, que al hacer un uso subversivo de ellos, tienen repectuciones verdaderamente severas en la psique, el estado de ánimo e inclusive en la salud.
Voy a comenzar por los símbolos más "famosos" y de los más usados dentro de los logotipos en las corporaciones.
El Compás y la Escuadra "Masones".
Uno de los nombres que originalmente recibía este símbolo es "El Sello de Salomón" de acuerdo con Eliphas Levi. Está compuesto por un compás y una escuadra, originalmente no poseía la letra "G" al centro y el círculo solar de color azul al fondo.
Dentro de la misma masonería existen varias explicaciones para cada uno de los elementos: mientras que para unos la escuadra representa básicamente disciplina para llegar a la "perfección" para otros representa el mundo físico. Por otro lado, mientras que para unos el compás representa la eternidad y lo exácto, para otros representa al mundo espiritual. La letra "G", se dice que significa gamma para algunos y para otros significa: Genio, Geometría, Generación, Gnosis, Gran Arquitécto y God - Dios. El círculo solar azul de 32 puntas, representa a la estrella de oriente (Venus, no Sirio) y el color hace mención a la Masonería Azul, el número 32 tiene que ver en gran medida con los grados de la masonería, el 32 es un número muy especial por que es la edad en la que murio Jesús y representa los 32 caminos al Kether o al mejor conocido dentro de la Kabbalah como Metatrón, el grado más alto de consciencia espiritual de un ser humano. En la punta del compás, el cual asemeja una pirámide está situado "el ojo que todo lo ve".
Por otro lado el Compás y la Escuadra, es una simplificación de "La Estrella de David" o también conocida como "La Estrella de Salomón", la cual tiene muchos otras explicaciones y relaciones por sí sola ya que está relacionada directamente con "La Flor de la ida" y el "Fruto de la Vida". También viendolo desde otro extremo totalmente diferente, representa el telar del Tzolkin Maya que a su vez representa al Ollín y que este a su vez representa a la dualidad o el Ying-Yang.
Veamos algunos ejemplos:
 Símbolo "Masón" dentro de la Flor de la Vida Telar Maya Ollin Anahuaca Ollin Maya Logo de OXXO Logo de Chanel Logo de Renault
La Pirámide y el Ojo que todo lo vee.
 
No hace mucho ya había dado una explicación más profunda del sello así que no lo repetiré nuevamente, pero si hablaré un poco al respecto.
El símbolo de la pirámide es uno de los más usados dentro de los logotipos de las corporaciones ya que tiene un misticismo muy complejo el cual voy a tratar de sintetizar lo más que se pueda. La pirámide conlleva una serie de significados muy profundos y tiene muchos usos por su perfección geométrica, matemática y estructural.
La forma piramidal consituye uno de los símbolos más poderosos dentro del esoterismo, esto debido a que representa en su forma más simple, el triángulo, la trinidad. Dicha trinidad son las tres fuerzas creadoras y sostenedoras del universo, estas están mencionadas en todas las culturas antiguas y con mayor mención en el cristianismo, el judaismo y el islam.
Dichas fuerzas son: El Padre, El Hijo y el Espíritu Santo. Estos aspectos de Dios son estados de consciencia y fuerzas por si mismas que rigen ciertos movimientos. En la Kabbalah esta trinidad está representada por Kether, Binah y Geburah; los cuales componen los tres primeros de estados de consciencia espiritual: Corona o Iluminación/Ascención, Sabiduria y Entendimiento (Conocimiento).
También el triángulo, representa los tres estados del ser: Cuerpo, Mente y Espíritu. El número 3 es un número muy importante por la representación de la trinidad y los 3 estados. Dentro del esoterismo existe algo que se conoce como "el poder del 3 veces 3" lo que da fuerza a todo decreto para ser manifestado.
Un triángulo con la punta hacia arriba formado con las manos uniendo las llemas de cada dedo, forman el "Ka", la fuerza vital del ser humano. Atravez de ese mudra, se puede proyectar energía. Con la punta hacia abajo, la energía se canaliza hacia las esferas energéticas más bajas y se conectan a la tierra, también es símbolo de absorción de energía.
Dos triángulos intercalados, uno de cabeza y uno al derecho, representan el Principio de ]Correspondencia: "Como es arriba es abajo, como es abajo es arriba". De la misma forma que representan el Ollin, la interacción entre lo material y lo espiritual, entre lo positivo y lo negativo. La interacción de dos fuerzas opuestas que se atraen para generar movimiento y producir acción.
La pirámide, fue usada por muchas culturas antiguas, las más emblemáticas son: La egipcia, las culturas mesoamericanas (Mayas, Mexicas, Toltecas, etc.) y las sudamericanas (Incas y Tiahuanacos). Esto es por que la forma piramidal tiene consigo la capaidad de concentrar gran cantidad de energía etérica, solar, astral, cósmica y luz.
El hecho de que sociedades como los Illuminati hayan escogido la pirámida, y nada tontos al respecto, nada tiene que ver con que la pirámide y el triángulo sean símbolos del Nuevo Orden Mundial y toda esas patrañas que muchos mencionan. Los Illuminati, nada idiotas, escogieron esa figura geométrica precisamente por la gran capacidad de concentración y liberación de energía.
Así que el echo de llamarle a la Pirámide con el Ojo, "Símbolo Illuminati", es meramente una estupidez, ya que por que se haya identificado como tal, no quiere decir que les pertenezca. Ese símbolo pertenece a culturas muy antiguas y pertenece a un símbolo sagrado. Los demás elementros dentro de ese sello son añadiduras que lo convirtieron en un símbolo subversivo siendo usado para fines políticos-esotéricos que tienen que ver con el control, el poder y la manipulación.
Y a esto siempre me he referido cuando sociedades secretas como los Illuminati han echo un uso subersivo de simbolos sagrados y antiguos.
Ahora veamos unos ejemplos del uso de este símbolo:
Notese que hay logos donde se representan a las pirámides de Giza, lo que está relacionado directamente con Orión.
De estos dos últimos dos logotigos de Sanborns, ya hablaré más tarde al respecto.
Y hablando sobre la Pirámide, hace algunos días dentro de un post referente a los Chemtrails en México, coloqué la imagen del edificio de la Delagación Venustiano Carranza del D.F. recibí algunos comentarios al respecto de no haber entendido, ahora espero que esa duda se haya aclarado.

Algunos símbolos ocultistas.
 Citibank. Otra rueda de cruz. Cruz proporcional dentro de un circulo.
El segundo y más reciente logo es un sol saliente, o la estrella de la mañana, Venus. Citi es el mas grande grupo financiero mundial. El New York Times confirmó que Citigroup mantenía los fondos del terrorista mas famoso del siglo 20 Yassir Arafat.
 Sun Trust Bank. Otro sol naciente... por supuesto el nombre lo dice todo.
 Swiss Life. La cruz dentro de la rueda. Haciendo titulares durante el 2002 por perdidas masivas y corrupcion general. Nadie con un logo en el cual aparezca un sol puede ser de confianza.
 Oroboros / Lucent Technologies.
Un sitio web de zen budista japones esta enojado con Lucen porque tomó su "enso" o "circulosumi."
De hecho Japon es la "tierra del sol naciente" .  La adoracion del sol parece estar en sus genes...
Los ocultistostas saben que este símbolo representa a su bienamado Satan, la “serpiente solar”. Una serpiente enredada en un círculo mordiendose la cola un “oroboros,” representa al dragón, de acuaerdo al “The Illustrated Book of Signs and Symbols” de Miranda Bruce-Mitford. Y como se menciono mas arriba con CityBank, el circulo es un simbolo del dios sol, y Lucifer, y los ocultistas usan este circulo para atraer poderes demoniacos. ¿ No es extraño que se haya utilizado este símbolo en la película de terror "El Aro"?
 Para quienes alguna vez visitaron las torres gemelas antes que "cayeran", saben que existía un enorme círculo ocultista a su lado.
9-11 fue solamente el más grande "sacrificio" de norteamerica. Lamentablemente, Bush y la sociedad neoyorkina creó otro gran círculo en el primer aniversario y fue transmitido por televisión a todo el mundo, el más grande ritual de magia del mundo ... la vista de todos y oculto a todos ...
El masón y escritor J.S.M. Ward dijo que ese "simbolo" representaba "a dios". Y está en lo correcto, pero al dios de la masoneria “in god we trust” versa la leyenda del dólar.
 Éstos simbolos son señales de adoración; si los portas, das a los angeles caídos autoridad sobre ti
Usar un símbolo o colgarlo alrededor de tu cuello o colgarlo en la pared es darle cierto honor -- lo que es adoracion -- y pueden bloquear y bloquearan tu alma abriendo tu espiritu a la falsedad, algo en lo cual Lucifer y sus ángeles caídos son especialistas.
Fíjate que estos símbolos, se encuentran en la mayoría de los grupos mal llamados “cristianos”. La idolatria no es sólo arrodillarse frente a una cruz, o una imagen de alguna de las tantas "virgenes", o "santos", muchas veces es llevar puesto un inocente anillo, un talismán, o colgar en tu pared objetos o imagenes relacionadas con estos simbolos. Incluso un gesto hecho con las manos. Bien sabido es el lenguage corporal utilizado por los masones para reconocerse entre ellos. También muchos gestos o "muecas" que revelan a qué grupo pertenecen ciertas "tribus urbanas"
Si tienes dudas no preguntes a un sacerdote o a un ignorante que se haga llamar vidente o brujo, o a un medium o a un maestro masón - pues los verdaderos brujos o mediums son precisamente aquellos quienes menos lo parecen. Gracias a que a los angeles caídos les queda muy poco tiempo, estas cosas ya no son "secretos" de algunos y pueden ser verificadas por cualquiera. Debido a que a estos demonios les queda poco tiempo y saben que para ellos no hay perdón sinó condenación eterna intentan hacer caer a la obra de Dios, el ser humano.
 Adobe Software. Eye of Horus. Desde la edicion de 2001 de “Image Ready” de este software de imagenes. Esta es una representación del antiguo Ojo de Horus de los ejipcios (dios sol). Es increible que el paganismo antiguo se ha extendido en los Estados Unidos desde el año 2000. Desde el “9-11” de Septiembre de 2001, muchísimas corporaciones han adoptado simbolos antiguos de demonios y magia.
 Tomb Raider, Lara Croft / Pepsi promotion. El ojo del dios sol Horus, dentro de un circulo, dentro de un triangulo, dentro de un circulo.... oops!
 Otro simbolo interesante es el de Pepsi Cola: Como el culto al sol son encontrados en muchos de los juegos de video y anime japonés... Obviamente no es un mero accidente que asi sea ...
 El gran sello de los Illuminati “Great Seal” de los Estados Unidos, 1776 (Illuminati fundado en mayo de 1776); la pirámide o triangulo sagrado y el "Ojo que todo lo ve" del mal espiritual quien posa como Horus. Todo en una sola imagen.
Tambien es el sello de los Illuminati, creado por el ocultista Adam Weisshaupt en 1776 en una esquina oscura de Alemania conocida como Bayern en la ciudad de Ingolstadt dos meses antes de la declaración de la indepedencia. Esta es toda la prueba que se necesita para saber que Thomas Jefferson pertenecía a la orden de los Illuminatis porque era la persona de más relevancia en el comité que eligió este símbolo (junto a Benjamin Franklin, un Rosacruz y y figura fundamental en la creacion de la Gran Logia de Pennsylvania). Este es el más famoso símbolo del dios sol (Lucifer)
- especialmente visto:Masoneria, Rosacruces (significa“rosy cross”), Caballeros de todas las ordenes, pinturas Católicas y decor, y por supuesto, demonologia Egipcia, (la cual es de origen antiguo, pero no del más antiguo), significando Horus, el dios sol Egipcio (un tipo de Lucifer). Estos espíritus dejan su marca durante toda la historia de la humanidad como si se tratara de huellas digitales. Es una prueba absoluta, porque es espiritual
Otros logotipos comúnes en los que aparece el dios sol, la piramide, la serpiente, la estrella de Salomon, etc.

Pyramid Symbolism
Let us mention pyramids first in reference to the Egyptian bondage of the Jews (Ex 1:1-22), the slavery the Jews were put under and the use of the Jews to build pyramids. Thus, making the pyramid a symbol of slavery to Jews and Christians. The pyramid has been used heavily in marketing as well. But that is not the only place we see it, we see it in the occult and in cults.
This in-your-face example of illuminati symbolism is the logo for a new Orwellian DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) division, "Total Information Awareness." The logo depicts the all-seeing eye at the top of a pyramid beaming down on the globe.
The writing below reads "Scientia Est Potentia" which translates to "Knowledge (Science) Is Power".
The logo of Fidelity Investments which is a major financial company just happens to be a pyramid with an uplifted capstone surrounded by a glory.
-
Ameritrade is a large brokerage company. The "A" shows an abstract version of the all seeing eye on the pyramid.
-
More pyramids...
See this unfinished pyramid with the capstone removed and a five pointed star inside...
Founded by illuminati Rupert Murdoch, AOL's logo is a stylized eye inside a pyramid.
Volkswagen
Turned upside down, there are 3 pyramids in the logo forming one big pyramid without capstone.
Mercedes Benz
Two pyramids, one mirror-inverted below the other

VESCICA PISCIS Y LAS SEÑALES VIALES
The Vesica Pisces Construction
in the raised Jesus (8880)
The Latin term Vesica Pisces, meaning "Vessel of the Fish" is the most basic and important construction in Sacred Geometry. A Vesica is formed when the circumference of two identical circles each pass through the center of the other. When a Vesica Piscis is viewed horizontally, it looks like a vagina or a womb which is why the Christ child was often pictured inside of one. When the Vesica Pisces is viewed vertically it looks like the shape of a fish. Amazingly, the above two Vesica Pisces each have a horizontal axis equal in length to the gematria value of the Greek word for "fishes" (1224) while the top and bottom circles that form the two fish have a combined circumference equal to the raised Jesus (8880)!
Astrological Symbolism of Jesus and the Fish
The zodiac and astrology were very important to people in antiquity. Early in the first century AD, the Age of Aries (the Lamb) had just ended which was symbolic of the death of the new God named Jesus. The Sun now rose in the New Age of the star constellation of Pisces the Fish at the Spring Equinox (Easter) which was symbolic of the Virgin-birth of the new Christian God named Jesus. Stories of a "Star of Bethlehem" and of "a blood-red Moon" were even composed to herald his birth and death. The story of his resurrection inspired Christians to compare Jesus to the Phoenix, a legendary bird that dies in flames each evening and emerges anew each morning, which was a metaphor for the Sun in both Egyptian and Greek mythology. The two-fold symbolism of Sacred Geometry and Astrology seems to be the main reason why the Fish and the Rising Sun became the two most important cosmic signs of Jesus Christ.

The Greek word Ichthys (ICQUS) is an anagram, containing the initials of the words "Jesus Christ, Son of God, and Savior."

Vesica piscis
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
La vesica piscis (vejiga de pez en latín) es un símbolo hecho con dos círculos del mismo radio que se intersecan de manera que el centro de cada círculo está en la circunferencia del otro. Esta forma se denomina también mandorla (que significa "almendra" en italiano).
Era un símbolo conocido en las antiguas civilizaciones de Mesopotamia, África y Asia.
Significado místico y religioso
Tapa del Pozo del Cáliz con un trabajo artístico de la vesica piscis.
 En diversos periodos de la historia ha sido tema de especulaciones místicas; probablemente los primeros fueron los Pitagóricos, que la consideraban una figura sagrada. La razón matemática de su anchura (medida por los puntos extremos del "cuerpo", sin incluir la "cola") por su altura fue aproximada por el cociente 265:153. Esta razón, que da 1,73203, se consideró un número sagrado llamado la medida del pez. Exactamente, la razón geométrica de estas dimensiones es la raíz cuadrada de 3, o 1,73205... (ya que si se traza la línea recta que une los centros de ambos círculos, junto con los dos puntos donde los círculos se intersecan, se obtienen dos triángulos equiláteros unidos por un lado). El cociente 265:153 es una aproximación a la raíz cuadrada de 3, y tiene la propiedad de que no se puede obtener ninguna aproximación mejor con números más pequeños. El número 153 aparece en el Evangelio de Juan (21:11) como el número de peces que Jesús hizo que se capturaran en la milagrosa captura de los peces, lo que algunos consideran como una referencia cifrada de las creencias pitagóricas. Coventry Patmore escribió un poema titulado Vessica Piscis, en la parte XXIV del Libro I de su ciclo The Unknown Eros (El Eros desconocido, 1877).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Occultic Symbolism
by Daniel T. Lewis
|
The word occult comes from the Latin word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to "knowledge of the hidden". Thus by definition occult symbolism is that which we see in everyday life, but are unaware of its meaning. Occultism is the study of occult or hidden wisdom. Christian Theism holds that God has reveled himself in three distinct ways, through his creation, through his written word (the Bible, and through his Son Jesus Christ. From the traditional Christian Theistic worldview the occult involves anything supernatural or paranormal which is not achieved by or through God, and is therefore the work of an opposing and malevolent entity, Satan. Because of the malevolent nature of the occult it is important for all of us, especially Christians, to be aware of the meaning of Occultic symbolism.
The Fall of Satan:
The obvious place to begin a discussion of Occultic symbols is with a discussion of the symbols for Satan. An obvious way to understand the symbols for Satan is to understand what the Bible tells us about Satan. Generally, Christian teaching holds that Satan was Lucifer, who rebelled against God.
Job 38:4-7 tells us that angels were created before mankind:
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Two important phrases in verse seven are “morning stars” and “sons of God”. The phrase “morning stars” comes from the Hebrew word for “morning” (boqer) and the Hebrew word for “stars” (kowkab). The word is sometimes, as in this verse used as an idiom to refer to rulership of angles. The phrase “sons of God” comes from the Hebrew for “son” (ben) and the Hebrew word used to describe God throughout the Old Testament, (elohiym). The earth and perhaps its foundation were created on day one of the creation week (seen Genesis 1:1-5). The foundation of the earth would have at latest been created on day three when dry land appeared (see Genesis 1:9 – 13). The stars were not created until day four (see Genesis 1:14 through 19), so the morning stars mentioned in Job 38 cannot refer to the actual physical stars, but must be an illusion to angles. Genesis 1:31 tells us that at the end of the creation week God saw everything that he had made, including all angles, and that it all was very good.
Ezekiel 28 relays prophecy against the wicked king of Tyrus, but it goes beyond the mere human king to the wicked power behind the throne. The attributes described in these verses only can fit Satan.
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Another passage about the fall of Satan is given in Isaiah 14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
The Morning Stars Mercury and Venus:
From these verses one may conclude that Satan is identified with the morning stars. Both Mercury and Venus are both evening and morning stars. That is because they are nearer to the sun than the earth is, so they can never appear very far from the sun in the sky. In other words, when the sun sets in the evening they might be in the west, near the sun as an evening star. Or they could be in the morning sky before sunrise, again, near the sun. But neither Mercury nor Venus can be opposite the sun in the sky, such as rising at sunset. Hence, they are called the evening and morning stars. Actually, "evening star" or "morning star" nearly always refers to Venus, which is by far the brightest celestial object in the sky after the sun and moon. Mercury is much dimmer and only visible for a few weeks of the year. This then means that Satan is identified with Venus.
Artistic depictions of Venus
The Romans called the goddess principally associated with love, beauty and fertility Venus. Venus’s attributes largely arose from the Greek goddess Aphrodite. In Roman mythology Venus acts as consort to Vulcan. Vulcan presided as the Roman god of beneficial and hindering fire. Romans considered Venus the ancestor of the legendary founders of Rome. Venus and Aphrodite acted as the goddess of love, lust, and beauty. In Roman mythology Venus became associated with myrtle, the dove, the sparrow, and the swan. Venus was known as Inanna among the Sumerian people, Astarte among the Phoenicians, and Turan among the Etruscan. Venus parallels the Indo-European dawn goddesses such as Ushas or Aurora. The planet Venus is named for the goddess.
When Venus passes behind the sun a superior conjunction occurs. When Venus passes between the earth and the sun an inferior conjunction occurs. In both instances the view of Venus from the earth becomes obstructed. Plotting the Venus' westward elongation from the Sun, over five consecutive synodic periods creates the points of a pentagram (five pointed star). This period is 584 days long. Each period produces a different point of the pentagram. It takes about eight years, five days to completely trace the entire pentagram. The pentagram figure slowly revolves within an oval in a clockwise direction, alternating either one or two points ascendant roughly every 160 years. No observation point on Earth yields a regular pentagram. Moving further north elongates the figure while on the equator the figure is an irregular pentagon.
The Serpent, Snake, and Dragon:
The Biblical account about the fall of mankind recorded in Genesis 3 introduces a creature called "the serpent". The Hebrew word rendered "serpent" in Gen. 3:1 is nachash (Strong’s Number 5175), and means a serpent or a snake (see The Complete Word Study Dictionary by Warren Baker and Eugene Carpenter pg 1798). With different vowel points the word would be (Strong’s number 5172) the Hebrew verb which means to practice divination or sorcery. Yet another set of vowel pints yields the Hebrew word for brass or copper (Strong’s Number 5174). During the ninth and tenth centuries AD, the Masoretes, Jewish scholars in Tiberias, Galilee, perfected a system of points or nikkud for vowel notation and added it to the received consonantal text. The vowel points were added to ensure proper interpretation and reading of Hebrew Scripture, and are known as the Masoretic or Tiberian vowel points. This point system was added without altering the spacing of the text. Thus historically and grammatically nachash means serpent or snake.
The Bible makes clear the identity of who or what used the body of this 'beast of the field', not only to speak to Eve, but also to persuade her to disobey almighty God? Jesus once told the Pharisees, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning . . . he is a liar, and the father of it " (John 8:44). The best event to fit this description is the fall, which occurred right after mankind was created. The serpent lied to Eve when he said, "Ye shall not surely die", and as this is the first lie recorded in Scripture, the title 'father of it' [it = lies or lying] would seem to be a very apt description of the person doing the lying on this occasion.
Since the serpent's efforts resulted in the penalty of death falling not only on Adam and Eve, but on the whole human race. Jesus' term of 'murderer' therefore certainly applies to whoever tempted Eve. The work of the serpent is thus the enactment of everything that Jesus ascribed to 'the devil' in John 8:44. Furthermore, there is no other event in recorded history that better fulfils this description of the devil than does the account of the temptation by the serpent in Genesis 3. A further tie-up between the serpent of Genesis 3 and Satan, or the devil, is given in Revelation 12:9 and 20:2: "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world.” The Hebrew word from which we get Satan "adversary" — primarily to God, secondarily to men; the term "devil" signifies "slanderer" of God to men, and of men to God'.
In the Genesis account the real serpent or snake was the agent in Satan's hand. This is evident from the description of the reptile in Genesis 3:1 and the curse pronounced upon it in Genesis 3:14, ". . . upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy Life." John 13:26–27 recalls that before Judas left the Upper Room to go and betray Jesus that Satan entered into him. In the same manner demons can indwell either human bodies or animal bodies — for example, Mark 5:1–13 tells of the time Jesus cast out a legion of devils from a man, and they then entered a herd of pigs which ran down a steep place into the sea. We may safely conclude that Satan appropriated and used the body of a specific serpent on this occasion to carry out his subtle purpose of tempting Eve to sin.
It is also clear that the use of euphemisms about the serpent, such as calling him 'the personification of evil', or calling the whole incident "myth" or "theological poetry", will not do. The Bible presents this episode as a historical encounter between Eve and Satan, as real as that between Christ and Satan in the wilderness.
 Serpent Symbols
It is clear that the Bible identifies Satan with the serpent or snake. Matriarch of the New Age Movement H.P. Blavatsky explained her view of the serpent in Genesis 3 in her infamous book The Secret Doctrine:
Once that the key to Genesis is in our hands, the scientific and symbolical Kabalah unveils the secret. The Great Serpent of the Garden of Eden and the Lord God are identical, ….
"Thus Satan, once he ceases to be viewed in the superstitious, dogmatic, un-philosophical spirit of the Churches, grows into the grandiose image of one who makes of a terrestrial, a divine Man, … "
Blavatsky continues Satan’s lie that mankind should be as gods. Among the Egyptians, the serpent represented of divine wisdom. As a magical symbol among Satanists the serpent also stands for a symbol of wisdom. All the pagans in every era have used the serpent to worship and to consider as symbolic of wisdom. The Egyptians used a Sun supported by two asps as the emblem of Horhat the good genius; the serpent with the winged globe was placed over the doors and windows of the Temples as a guardian god. The entrances of the Egyptian Temples are decorated with the circle and the serpent. The Phrygians know Osiris as Sabazius and honor him as a solar deity who was represented by horns and whose emblem was a Serpent The god Dionysos, as well as Isis, were often depicted as snakes, sometimes they were intertwined. Isis was also independently depicted as a snake. In India and Tyre Python the Serpent Deity was shown coiled around the trunk of a tree. The Phoenicians represented the god Nomu (Kneph or Amun-Kneph) by a serpent. Serpents are depicted in the the Temple of Naki-Rustan in Persia, on the triumphal arch at Pechin, in China, over the gates of the great Temple of Chaundi Teeva, in Java; upon the walls of Athens. In India the serpent was sometimes associated with Shiva. Shiva wears a snake coiled around his upper arms and neck symbolizing the power he has over the most deadly of creatures. Snakes are also used to symbolize the Hindu dogma of reincarnation. Their natural process of molting or shedding their skin is symbolic of the human soul's transmigration of bodies from one life to another. The Druids had a high veneration for the Serpent. Their great god, Hu, was typified by that reptile; and he is represented by the Bards as the wonderful chief dragon, the sovereign of heaven.

In Mexico stone cravings show the intersecting of two great serpents, which produce a circle with their bodies, and each a human head in its mouth. In the Occult a snake swallowing a human being symbolizes the process of initiation. A true initiate is one who has been given, or who has earned, such wisdom as permits him to look on such a brilliant influx of spiritual light and thus can be consumed by or become one with the serpent, the universal symbol of wisdom.
The Caduceus of Mercury (Roman) and the Karykeion of Hermes (Greek) is a short rod entwined by two snakes and topped by a pair of wings used by many medical organizations. The meaning, purpose, and esoteric meaning of the caduceus can often be interpreted from the sum of its parts. The staff (particularly the herald's staff) was a symbol of authority carried in the hands of messengers. The winged quality of the wand of Hermes is in keeping with the alchemical or astrological importance of Mercury (whether taken to mean the planet, god, and element), quite often denoting fluidity, transformation, information, and new beginnings[citation needed] (as the elemental quarter of air is often likened to).[who?] The snake is often depicted in non Judeo-Christian traditions as a source or deliverer of wisdom.[citation needed] In Gnosticism the serpent represents Sophia or the manifestation of principles of the feminine divine (or Shekinah in the Judaism or Kabbalah).[citation needed] Note that the snakes are bound to each other in a double helix - a shape of stability, creation, and life; coincidentally this follows the arrangement that the King Cobras snake takes: fighting upright and face to face, trying to force the other to submit for sexual rights. In this it can be seen that the caduceus represents the authority to quickly deliver vital information or wisdom to aid, assist and enlighten. It is no surprise then that the caduceus is used by a variety of professions who have a connection with Hermes or Mercury in his traditional roles as the god of commerce, eloquence, invention, travel and thievery. In the Hermetic tradition, the caduceus is a symbol of spiritual awakening, and has been likened to the Kundalini serpents of Hindu mysticism. Kundalini Sakti, coiled and dormant 'feminine' energy, is the vast potential of psychic energy contained within us all. It is normally symbolized as a serpent coiled into three and a half circles, with its tail in its mouth, and spiralling around the central axis (sacrum or sacred bone) at the base of the spine. The awakening of this serpent and the manifestation of its powers is a primary aim of the practice of Kundalini Yoga.
The link between the caduceus of Hermes (Mercury) and medicine seems to have arisen by the seventh century A.D., when Hermes had come to be linked with alchemy. Alchemists were referred to as the sons of Hermes, as Hermetists or Hermeticists and as "practitioners of the hermetic arts". As the medical arts arose from alchemy, the symbolism remained.
The staff or rod of Asclepius symbolizes the healing arts by combining the sacred serpent with the staff or rod. The serpent is shedding its skin as a symbol of reincarnation and fertility. The single serpent staff also appears on a Sumerian vase of c. 2000 B.C. representing the healing god Ningishita, the prototype of the Greek Asclepius. The staff is a phallic symbol of authority. At the Shrine to Asclepius in Pergamos, called Asclepieum, one finds the Greek god of medicine depicted holding his staff with the single sacred serpent wraped around it. Serpents were sacred to Asclepius because of their power to renew themselves. That is why there was a relief of serpents at the entrance to the sacred area of the medical center symbolizing health. The serpent of Asclepius was also a coat of arms for Pergamos. As early as the reign of Emperor Domitian, the image of Asclepius began to appear on the coins of the city. This is about the same time John wrote the book of Revelation. In Revelation 2:12- 13 John wrote:
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
The serpent displayed at Asclepieum represented Satan. In India and Tyre Python the Serpent Deity was shown coiled around the trunk of a tree. Traditional depictions of Satan in the Garden of Eden show him as a serpent wrapped around a tree. The staff or rod of Asclepius actually symbolizes Satan in the Garden of Eden. Hebrews and Christians already knew that the snake, the symbol of Asclepius, symbolized evil in the Garden of Eden and represented everything sinful and Satanic.
Satan is often also described as a dragon. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him" (Revelation 12:9). In the Christian theology the dragon represents evil, Satan, and the Devil. The dragon is foe of God and humanity. Known to scholarship as a mythical monster, a huge lizard, winged, scaly, fire-breathing, doubtless originating in the memory of an actual prehistoric animal. Dragon is often synonymous with serpent. Among the Hebrews the dragon became known as Bel (and later Merodach). The Babylonians called him Tiamat. In Norse mythology and folk tales the dragon was Fafnir. The Gnostics refered to the dragon as Chozzar—The pig god of Atlantis and Peratae. The Greeks represented the dragon as Python conquered by Apollo and the two serpents killed by Hercules at his birth.
In the dualistic philosophy of Theosophy the dragon is neither good nor bad, but its differentiated aspects in nature make it assume one or the other character. Any conflict created by the duality of the dragon or serpent are essential to cosmic stability. The dragon itself is often dual, and it may be paired with the serpent, as with Agathodaimon and Kakodaimon, the good and evil serpents, seen in the caduceus. Again the dragon or serpent is two-poled as having a head and a tail. The mythical conflict between the sun god and the dragon represents the descent of spirit into matter and the eventual sublimation of matter by spirit in the ascending arc of evolution.
Furthermore, in Theosophy the dragon symbol may stand for powers of nature, which first overcome man, but which he must eventually overcome, as well as the spark of universal spirit atma-buddhi, which through the manasic principle seeks embodiment, but needs the help of the still lower principles in order to effect a union with the principles of earth. Like the serpent the dragon means among other things divine wisdom, especially where the serpent is used for terrestrial wisdom; and adepts or initiates were frequently called dragons. The dragon may be the symbol of a cycle; and the sevenfold dragon may mean the seven minor cycles in a great cycle.
The Ouroboros also spelled Ourorboros, Oroborus, Uroboros or Uroborus is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. The name Ouroboros derives from the Greek work uroborus which means "tail-devourer." Most often the Ouroboros symbolizes cyclicality, unity, or infinity. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations. More recently, it has been interpreted by psychologists, such as Carl Jung, as having an archetypical significance to the human psyche.
 Panara Bread Chip Bag with Ouroboros
Alchemy is most commonly known as the attempt to turn metals into gold. Alchemy also has the lesser known spiritual objective of achieving eternal life. In alchemy the Ouroboros represents the alchemist’s quest for eternal life. The is also a symbol of time, from which alone wisdom is obtained. In alchemy the Ouroboros may be show surrounding the symbols for the extremes of life the child and skull are intended to symbolize the 'beginning and then end'. The symbol means the beginning is and is in the end and the end is and is in the beginning. In this way the symbol of the Ouroboros also stands for the doctrine of reincarnation.
The Ouroboros has been featured on Masonic apron as well. We now draw your attention to the Masonic Apron depicted above. Notice the All-Seeing Eye on the left upper , the Sun worship symbol in the right upper , and the beehive with bees toward the bottom, all very typical Masonic and Satanic symbols. But, note the centerpiece symbol, with the Satanic Death's Head in the middle of the Masonic Emblem of the Compass and Square. Notice that this symbol is surrounded by an Ouroboros, the snake eating its own tail. Further, notice that two sprigs of evergreen bough are below the Compass and Square; the Satanist uses the evergreen to depict eternal life.
Manly P. Hall in The Secret Teachings of All Ages (pg lxxxviii.) explains, "The serpent is the symbol and prototype of the Universal Savior, who redeems the worlds by giving creation the knowledge of itself and the realization of good and evil." This echoes the dualistic teachings of Theosophy, for Theosophy arose from Freemasonry. In Morals and Dogma (pg 734), Albert Pike further explains, "It is the body of the Holy Spirit, the Universal Agent, the Serpent devouring its own tail." With these meanings, the Ouroboros was used as a symbol of theosophy.
A double ouroboros (two creatures swallowing one another, or an ouroboros forming a figure 8) in alchemy signifies volatility. Spiritually, it signifies the balance of the upper and lower natures. The sideways ouroboros, known as a lemniscate and is used in mathematics as symbol and as concept of infinity.
Although both the lemniscate as symbol (based upon the double ouroboros) and as concept of infinity come to us from the start of human civilisation, its introduction into modern scientific usage only dates back to medieval times. The term lemniscate refers to the shape itself, and the Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli (1654-1705) first called the shape a lemniscus (Latin for ribbon) in an article in Acta Eruditorum in 1694. The English mathematician John Wallis (1616-1703) used the infinity symbol to represent mathematical infinity in his book Arithmetica Infinitorum (first published in 1655).
The lemniscate enjoys widespread usage in the esoteric world. In the esoteric world the lemniscate became symbolic of the future and futurist thought, depicting eternal life, harmonious interaction between conscious and subconscious, serenity, harmony and dominion over the physical plane. The lemniscate is often used to illustrate abstract concepts, such as the concept of reincarnation. However, the symbol does not seem to appear in traditional Buddhist writings. In Zen Buddhism, a single circle represents infinity. The lemniscate occurs frequently in New Age writings and philosophies.
In New Age books Thoth’s celestial City of 8 and is symbolized by the lemniscate. The intertwined serpents on the Rod of Hermes are also said to form a lemniscate. Some New Agers consider the lemniscate as a symbol of the sexual union and sense of perfection – two becoming one (two uniting circles, one representing man and the other woman). In this context the lemniscate also shows male, the right, connected with female the left, this demonstrates equality because one is not above the other. A purification supposedly (but doubtful) Asian origin, used in Feng Shui, incorporates the use of the lemniscate. British mystic and occult writer Alistair Crowley describes the lemniscate as representing "heaven on earth or lower sephiroth plus Daath (or 7 planets plus Sothis); Mercury; Hod, Ogoad, the Buddhist & other 8 path. Perfection. Strength, fortitude, everlastingness. It is the first cubic number, hence it stands for the cube itself, or earth. Splendour of endurance." Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard used the lemniscate to explain how to attain infinity and increase the individuals personal universe to infinity, so that the "individual would become a god." Some allege that Hubbard borrowed his ideas from Crowley. A text entitled Building the Sky Ladder: The 13th Tribe of Levi-Levitron (associated with the Bartonian Metaphysical Society), identifies the lemniscate as the "universal constant", analogous to gravity in physics. The text continues:
FORCE (like countless billions of goldfish tails) has propelled the planetary mind over evolutionary DISTANCE at a growing VELOCITY carrying the MASS by means of WORK and hi-tec ACCELERATION into conjunction with the UNIVERSAL CONSTANT (-1) (infinity symbol 8) = Home again in INFINITY.
The Heaven’s Gate cult, whose members committed mass suicide in the late 1990s, used the lemniscate symbol to illustrate infinity, and the concept of infinity and eternal life features prominently in their scientific belief system. The International Raelian Movement states that life is a deliberate creation, using DNA, by a scientifically advanced people who made human beings literally in their image. The movement claims that these scientists used the lemniscate as their symbol, and that references to this symbol can be found in the ancient texts of many cultures.
Use of the lemniscate and its family of related symbols can be traced back to ancient esotericism. Plato described the lemniscate in The Timaeus. Thomas Aquinas and John Dee both used the lemniscate. The lemniscate bears a structural resemblance to the symbol used for marriage in geologies and the astrological sign Taurus. The Chinese express the totality of the universe with the figure 8. In spiritual terms, the lemniscate represents eternity, the numinous and the higher spiritual powers.
The use of a figure eight to represent infinity is an interesting choice, as eight is linked to the pre-creational infinity through the Ogdoad, the primeval forces of chaos in Egyptian mythology, represented as eight deities which existed before the creation of the sun god (the gods and their corresponding goddesses being Heh and Hauket, Amun and Amaunet, Nun and Naunet, Kek and Kauket). In neopaganism and the occult the number eight is significant as well. In the occult the octagram, eight-pointed star, is symbolic of fullness and regeneration. The Ordo Argentum Astrum, or Great White Brotherhood uses the octagram as their seal. The use of the figure eight can also be linked to a cyclical sense of infinity through the eight pagan festivals of the year. The Eight pagan festivals are:
Samhain which is also called Last/Blood Harvest, Ancestor Night, Feast of the Dead, or Noson Calan Gaeaf is celebrated October 31 through November 2. The main celbration are on October 31. The Festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. The name comes from the Gaelic word for November.
Yule which is also called Cuidle, Alban Arthan, Midwinter, or the Winter Rite is celebrated during the winter solstice December 19 – 23. Yule is a winter festival historically celebrated primarily in northern Europe but now celebrated in many other countries in various forms.
Imbolc which is also called Brigit, Brigid's Day, Candlemas, Bride's Day, or Brigantia is celebrated February 1 and 2 (alternative celebrations are on February 2 – 7). Imbolc is one of the four principal festivals of the Irish calendar, celebrated among Gaelic peoples and some other Celtic cultures either at the beginning of February or at the first local signs of Spring. Most commonly it is celebrated on February 2, since this is the cross-quarter day on the solar calendar, halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Originally dedicated to the goddess Brigid.
Ostara which is also called Earrach, Alban Eilir, Lady Day, Festival of Trees is celebrated during the spring equinox March 20-23. Ostara is a modern Neopagan festival. It is loosely based on several holidays which were celebrated around the spring equinox. The festival Ostara is characterized by the rejoining of the Mother Goddess and her lover-consort-son, who spent the winter months in death. Other variations include the young god regaining strength in his youth after being born at Yule, and the goddess returning to her maiden aspect.
Beltane, Beltaine, or May Day is celebrated on May 1. Alternative celebrations are sometimes held on May 4 – 10. The name is derived from the Gaelic and Irish names for the month of May. As an ancient Gaelic festival, Bealtaine was celebrated in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. There were similar festivals held at the same time in the other Celtic countries of Wales, Brittany and Cornwall. Bealtaine and Samhain were the leading terminal dates of the civil year in Ireland though the latter festival was the most important. The festival survives in folkloric practices in the Celtic Nations and the diaspora, and has experienced a degree of revival in recent decades.
Midsummer, Litha, Samradh, Alban Hefin, Aerra Litha, or Mother Night is celebrated during the summer solstice June 19 to 23. European midsummer-related holidays, traditions, and celebrations are pre-Christian in origin and have been superficially Christianized. Some celebrate in a manner as close as possible to how they believe the Ancient Germanic pagans observed the tradition, while others observe the holiday with rituals culled from numerous other unrelated sources, Germanic culture being only one of the sources used.
Lughnasadh Lammas, 1st Harvest, Bread Harvest, or the Festival of First Fruits is celebrated August 1 and 2 or alternatively between August 3 and 10. Lughnasadh was one of the four main festivals of the medieval Irish calendar. The early Celtic calendar was based on the lunar, solar, and vegetative cycles, so the actual calendar date in ancient times may have varied. Lughnasadh marked the beginning of the harvest season, the ripening of first fruits, and was traditionally a time of community gatherings, market festivals, horse races and reunions with distant family and friends. In Celtic mythology, the Lughnasadh festival is said to have been begun by the god Lugh, as a funeral feast and games commemorating his foster-mother, Tailtiu, who died of exhaustion after clearing the plains of Ireland for agriculture. On mainland Europe and in Ireland many people continue to celebrate the holiday with bonfires and dancing.
Mabon, Foghar, Alban Elfed, Harvest Home, 2nd Harvest, Fruit Harvest, or Wine Harvest is celebrated during the autumn equinox September 19 through 23. Mabon was not an authentic ancient festival either in name or date. There is little evidence that the autumnal equinox was celebrated in Celtic countries, while all that is known about Anglo-Saxon customs of that time was that September was known as haleg-monath or 'holy month'. The name Mabon has only been applied to the Neopagan festival of the autumn equinox very recently; the term was invented by Aidan Kelly in the 1970s as part of a religious studies project.

The snake/dragon symbol carries with it a strong occult meaning. Med Trust uses the occult staff of Asclepius in their corporate logo. The Python programming language uses two snakes to form a phallic cross for their corporate logo. Alfa Romeo also uses a man being eaten by the snake in their corporate logo symbolizing occult initiation. The logo for Subway sandwich shops is a stylized snake. Trusted Choice’s logo shows a snake rising to become a bird. Seeking to update the look of the network for the late 1950's, NBC introduced a new logo with a speeded up version of the familiar chimes. This logo appeared at the end of every NBC network program for most of the 1960's. NBC employees called this logo "the snake." Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) uses a striking cobra as their logo. Dodge has a car called a viper, which features a snake logo. The Consortium on Breast Cancer Pharmacogenomics uses two intertwined cobras for its logo. A computer hardware company named Adder has a logo featuring a snake and triangle. BAM Drums also incorporates a snake in their logo. A triangle and snake are featured in the logo for Adder Consulting. Nexa U.S.A. uses a snake coiled into a cross as their corporate logo. The Canadian Bank of Commerce uses the caduceus of Hermes in their logo.
 Serpent Logos
The ouroboros appears in the logos of Lucent Technologies and VLM New Arts Management. The Allen Parson Project, a British progressive rock band, featured the ouroboros on their album Vulture Culture. Anarcho punk band Crass (and their label Crass Records) used a double headed Ouroboros in their logo. It appeared in all their artwork, sleeves, record releases and posters. Neil Peart's (of Rush) drum kit for the Snakes & Arrows Tour features the ouroboros on the drum shells and heads. Intel and Burger King uses a stylized ouroboros in their logos.
Modern usage of the lemniscate is very diverse. The Humanist Party (Partido Humanista) of Argentina uses the lemniscate as a symbol in their official flag. In mainstream Western religion, the infinity symbol can be found on the cross of St. Boniface. The 2002 FIFA Word Cup Korea Japan combined the two zeros in 2002 to form a lemniscate for their logo. Always feminine products incorporate the lemniscate in their logo. The Amanasu Group uses the lemniscate interlaced with a circle for their logo. The lemniscate also appears on several Tarot cards.
The Chakra:
Energy is a very important concept within the Occult. Chakra is a Sanskrit term meaning circle or wheel. Theories on chakras fit within systems that link the human body and mind into a single unit, sometimes called the 'bodymind' (Sanskrit: namarupa). The philosophical theories and models of chakras as centers of energy were first codified in Ancient India. A chakra is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. The word chakra literally translates as wheel or disk and refers to a spinning sphere of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. There are six of these wheels stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead. The seventh Chakra lies beyond the physical region. The following primary chakras are commonly described: 1. Muladhara - lower body, 2. Swadhisthana - reproductive parts, 3. Manipura - navel, 4. Anahata – heart, 5. Vishuddha – throat, 6. Ajna eyebrow or forehead, and 7. Sahasrara - top of head.
 The Chakra:
The swastika (from Sanskrit svastika) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing form or its mirrored left-facing form. The swastika can also be drawn as a traditional swastika, but with a second 90° bend in each arm. An ancient symbol, it occurs mainly in the cultures that are in modern day India and the surrounding area, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol. It was long widely used in major world religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The symbol, like the cross, shows the awakening of the energies of the spine and the opening of the Heart. However it also means something more. The swastika shows movement in a circle. Depending upon which way around the limbs are, it shows movement in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. This refers to Circulation of energy around the body. This is one of the most profound teachings of Yoga Kriya, Reiki and Taoism. The swastika symbol gives the secret of force, and the direction of movement of spiritual energy.
According to false New Age teachings the human organism, its functioning, and the condition of its subtle bodies depends on the chakras' work, or spinning. When the chakras are spinning effectively, they bring balanced functioning to the organism, a free-flowing of energies, and harmony between consciousness and sub-consciousness and between inner and outer worlds as well. For those who follow Eastern and New Age teaching the idea or symbol of a spinning or moving Chakra is very important or powerful. The logs for General Electric, Bell, Whirlpool, and Wing Zone all show a spinning Chakra.
The Lightning Bolt:
In ancient mythologies from many cultures (Norse, Roman, Greek, Native American, etc.) the lighting bolt would be hurled by male sky gods to punish, water, or fertilize the earth or its creatures. Navajo myths linked it to the Thunderbird, the symbol of salvation and divine gifts. On children's toys, it represents supernatural power. Double bolts, popular with contemporary skinheads, symbolize Nazi power.
 The Lightning Bolt:
The Ford Motor Company produces the Thunderbird car. The Schutzstaffel (German for "Protective Squadron"), abbreviated SS- or using Runic double lightning bolts- was a major Nazi military organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. The rock band KISS uses lightning bolts as a substitution for the letter S in spelling their name. NBC used to have a logo with lightning bolts coming out of a microphone. Gatorade, Opel, the Power Rangers, and the now defunct Chicago Blitz all used the lightning bolt as a part of their logos.
Hollywood:
When Spanish explorers first entered the area at the foothills and the Cahuenga Pass, Native Americans were living in the canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains. Before long, the Indians had been moved to missions and the land which Hollywood now occupies was divided in two by the Spanish Government. Acreage to the west became part of Rancho La Brea and settlements to the East became Rancho Los Feliz. By the 1870s an agricultural community flourished in the area and crops ranging from hay and grain to subtropical bananas and pineapples were thriving. During the 1880s, the Ranchos were sub-divided.
Harvey Henderson Wilcox and his wife Daeida moved to Los Angeles from Topeka Kansans. In 1886, Wilcox bought 160 acres of land in the countryside to the west of the city at the foothills and the Cahuenga Pass. The Wilcox ranch now became "Hollywood Ranch." Daeida Wilcox chose the name "Hollywood" because she heard a stranger on a train talk lovingly of a hollywood in Illinois. Holly doesn't actually grow in Hollywood; it's too hot here. The city of Hollywood was incorporated in 1903. In 1910, the city of Hollywood was incorporated into the city of Los Angeles because the former was in need of a water supply. Hollywood became a suburb of Los Angeles at that time.
Beginning in 1903, the same year Hollywood was incorporated as a town, Freemasons in Hollywood met in a structure in the approximate location of today's Kodak Theater. The first master, Gilbert F. Stevenson, lived nearby on a five-acre lemon ranch, which he later sold to a lodge brother Charles E. Toberman. Toberman has been dubbed the "father of Hollywood." Toberman was responsible for Sid Grauman moving his operations to Hollywood. When Hollywood Boulevard was still a quiet mix of homes and agricultural businesses, real estate developer Charles Toberman envisioned a thriving theatre district there. During his lifetime, he erected 36 stylish buildings in the heart of Hollywood, including the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and three themed theatres, which he developed with Sid Grauman -- the Egyptian, the Chinese, and the El Capitan. Before any of these developments stood along the boulevard, however, Toberman built the new lodge headquarters there, in 1922. At the time, the temple was one of the most substantial structures in Hollywood's sparse mix of buildings and citrus groves.
The Nestor Motion Picture Company of Bayonne, New Jersey was owned by David and William Horsley. The Horsley brothers along with other movie independents, succeeded in defeating the monopolistic hold on the industry of Thomas Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company. However, weather conditions on the east coast made filming an uncertain proposition because camera technology at the time relied on sunshine. Frustrated, and realizing that California afforded the opportunity to make films year round, David Horsley moved his operations to the west coast. In the fall of 1911, the Nestor Motion Picture Company opened the first motion picture studio in Hollywood in the Blondeau Tavern building at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street. With Horsley was Al Christie who served as General Manager and in charge of Christie Comedies plus Charles Rosher who lent his expertise as the studio's full-time cameraman. Other east coast films companies recognized Horsley's advantage and quickly followed his lead.
