Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrate

This Masonic Bible also asked what an emblem was. The answer was: “An emblem is an OCCULT representation of an idea, principle, or truth which cannot be seen with the natural eye, but may be perceived by the mind and heart.” The 15° in Masonry is called Knight of the Eagle and the 30° is called the Knight of the White and Black Eagle. The white and black on the eagle symbolize the yin/yang. An ad for a belt buckle said this: “The eagle is also one of the most ancient symbols of the supernatural and the occult. In Egypt and Greece it was sacred to the Sun; it was also the venerated bird of Zeus. For the learned Druids it was transcendent, their foremost divinity. The Roman Legions adopted it as a consecrated mascot.” By the way, the word mascot comes from a French word meaning witch! The eagle was worshipped by the Greeks as the god of lightning. “They nailed eagles to the peaks of temples to serve as magic lightning rods; these were the precursors of today’s weathercocks seen atop many buildings.” In mysticism, the eagle represents initiation. Masonic author, Rex Hutchens, relates: “Since the eagle also represented the great Egyptian Sun god Amun Ra, it is a symbol of the infinite Supreme Reason of Intelligence.” Albert Pike reveals that the “Eagle was the living Symbol of Egyptian God Mendes. .. and the representative of the Sun....” Remember the Satanic God of Mendes? Well, the eagle is his emblem. Hall remarks: “The eagle was also the Hermetic symbol of sulphur, and signified the mysterious fire of Scorpio—the most profoundly significant sign of the zodiac and the Gate of the Great Mystery. Being one of the three symbols of Scorpio, the eagle, like the Goat of Mendes, was an emblem of the theurgic art [magic] and the secret processes by which the infernal fire of the scorpion was transmuted into the spiritual light-fire of the gods.” [Italics in the original; Boldface added]
