No More Sacrifice for Sins

On September 11, 2001, Richard Drew of the Associated Press, the photographer noted for his photos of the assassination of Robert Kennedy, happened to be in  Manhattan.  Subsequent to the World Trade Towers being hit by airplanes, he captured images of a man falling from one of these towers to his death.  The photo chosen for infamy shows the inverted figure of a man in the position of the Tarot Card known as The Hanging Man, representing Arcanum XII. Since there were other shots of this man tumbling through the air in various positions, this image was chosen for a reason, which the occult world picked up on immediately.  When I viewed several blogs writing on this famous photo, one of the comments posted under the article quoted our author, Mouni Sadhu.

Now it is interesting that Mouni Sadhu refuses to call this Arcanum The Hanging Man.  Of course, once upon a time, this trump was called The Traitor after the infamous Judas Iscariot, who hanged himself. Apparently over time, this bothered some followers of Hermetism,  and the card  received a new name. But as I began to review the features of this trump, specifically its association with the twelfth Hebrew Letter Lamed, and its number equivalent of 30 and  symbolism of a goad or a shepherd’s crook, I came to the same conclusion as the occultists of old.

Zechariah 11:10-13 says, “And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.  And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.  And I said unto them,  If ye think good give me my price; and if not, forbear.  So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.  And the LORD said unto me, cast it  unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them.  And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.”  This scripture was fulfilled in the New Testament and refers to the betrayal of  Jesus by Judas Iscariot for thirty pieces of silver.

Now what is strange about Mouni Sadhu’s book is that his illustrations do not match his words.  He says that on his card it is the left leg which is hanging to a tree in the shape of a Tau Cross.

Hanging by the left foot

But in fact his illustration shows the right leg, as do many other popular tarot cards.  Mouni Sadhu subtitles this Arcanum with a ternary beginning with the word Messiah and he gives commentary on the sacrifice of Jesus as the Son of Man. He does not acknowledge Jesus as The Son of God.

Hanging by the right leg

I John 4:1-3 says, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:  because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:  Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:  and this is the spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come;  and even now already is it in the world.” Further in chapter 5:5, John asks, “Who is he that over cometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? And in verse 10-12, “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in the Son.  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”

Deuteronomy 21:22-3 declares, “And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (For he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that the land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. Most commenters on the Hanging Man note that he has a halo and a blissful countenance. Mouni Sadhu notes that Jesus Christ suffered at the hands of those who crucified him, but he makes no mention of Jesus suffering for the sins of mankind as the Messiah. While as part of the ternary of this card he grants the use of the word Messiah, in no way does he link it to Jesus as The Son of God.  He does not mention the underlying reason for the necessity of blood sacrifice, but rather uses the word sacrifice as meaning some sort of charitable giving.  Given that he was a Roman Catholic and displays familiarity with the scriptures, what does this mean?

The Sulphur of the Abyss, one of the three elements important to Alchemy

It would appear that Mouni Sadhu was ashamed of Jesus Christ,  his words and of his gospel.  Hebrews 10:26-31 provides insight into the seriousness of Mouni Sadhu’s position on sacrifice, “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.  He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of Grace?  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.  And again, The Lord shall judge his people.  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

The Traitor with 30 silver pieces of filthy lucre

When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, he experienced the wrath of God  on him as the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.  Since he was without sin, rather than having a blissful countenance, Psalm 22:1 recorded in advance his words:  “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?”  But because He is the only begotten Son of God, the Word made flesh, he overcame Death for us.

Since Mouni Sadhu rejected the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for his sins, and thought that sinful man could overcome his own death through many incarnations of working Hermetic magic, he now sits in the bottomless pit with that Son of Perdition, who at one time called himself Judas Iscariot.  Revelation 9:11 says that this king of the Abyss, known as Apollyon or Abaddon,  will be let out for a short time to become the Antichrist.  But it is too late for Mouni Sadhu to be saved, for he was an imperfect sacrifice, and he will have no more incarnations.

The Mouths of Lions Stopped

E. W. Bullinger in his book, Number in Scripture, gives this interesting insight into the number eleven (page 251), “If ten is the number which marks the perfection of the Divine order, then eleven is an addition to it, subversive of and undoing that order.  If twelve is the number which marks the perfection of Divine government, then eleven falls short of it. So that whether we regard it as being 10+1 or 12 – 1, it is the number which marks disorder, disorganization, imperfection, and disintegration.”

We are now taking a look at Arcanum XI entitled Strength or Leo Domitatus, which pictures a woman with an infinity sign over her head, closing the mouth of a fierce lion. She conveys self-confidence and irresistible power, for this Arcanum has at its hieroglyph a palm grip, designating the Hebrew letter Caph.  Mouni Sadhu says that this card has an easy interpretation as the woman who conquered the lion has three qualities:  knowledge of the Astral, purity of intentions, and faith in herself.

My comments on this Arcanum will center around Hebrews 11:33 which recalls those whose faith “stopped the mouths of lions”. It is to be remembered that the lion as archetype in the Bible can represent either Jesus Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, or as the adversary (Satan), the devil who as a roaring lion is seeking whom he may devour.  Mouni Sadhu presents some biblical history, reinterpreting it to fit his false views. In this regard he also presents the Hermetic interpretation of the Ten Commandments.  To fully comprehend this interpretation, it should be noted that the gematria of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:2-10,  can be translated as  Eleven, the ten Names of the Sephiroth, the Name of Jehovah God.  Another equivalent is Eleven, the City of the Chief Prince of Israel, Throne of Satan. Eleven as 1+10, represents the Magician having command of the ten commandments, the ten names of the Sephiroth, or Arcanum X as the wheel of fortune.

The Ten Commandments of the Hermetic Tradition compared with Exodus 20:2-10 are as follows:

I. Metaphysically profess the One Unique Life.   I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

II. Do not metaphysically divide that life, that is do not be entangled in the slavery of the multiple conceptions born in the mind.  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:  for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:  and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

III.  Do not astrally divide that Life, that is do not apply the mystery of the Dynamic Cycle (Tetragram) to deviation from the normal Hierarchy.  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

IV.  Do not obscure that Life by destroying, on the physical plane, remembrance about the Emanative Origin of every form of life.   Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:  But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God:  In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gate.  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

V.  Honour those who granted Life to you (even physical parents, provided they do not deviate from the evolutionary formula).  Honour thy father and thy mother:  that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

VI. (The list given by Mouni Sadhu reverses 6 and 7.  I have retained the Biblical order here.)  Do not attempt to rob anything of Life on the physical plane.  Thou shalt not kill.

VII.  Transmit life  wisely and consciously.  Thou shalt not commit adultery.

VIII.  Do not desire any property which belongs to others on the physical plane.  Thou shalt not steal.

IX.  Do not attempt to possess anything bound up with the life of your neighbor on the astral plane, neither PASSIVELY through lies…  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

X.  …nor ACTIVELY through jealousy.  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour’s.

Now what would motivate a teacher of Hermetism to present such a falsified view of the Ten Commandments given by Jehovah God?  If one’s whole foundation of philosophy is built upon the Name of Jehovah God, why is this God censured in the ten commandments of the Hermetic Tradition?  Simply because this Name as been reduced to numbers to usurp the throne of God by making this name mean the throne of Satan. 

Titus 1:10-11 says, “For there are many unruly  and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:  whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.”  Thus we discover that while the high priest  Mouni Sadhu says that the conqueror of the lion must have pure intentions, we can readily see that our author is teaching these falsehoods for filthy lucre’s sake.  “Stopping the mouth of lions” through faith in Jesus Christ is in fact stopping that Revelation of the  Pinnacle of the Temple of Guile.  Also what is required is faith in the true God, not in oneself.

Romans 3:19 says, “Now we know that what things so ever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”  Convicted of sin, yet refusing to repent, the Hermetist reinvents the ten commandments, and in so doing, condemns himself.  Romans 3:19 and Titus 1:11 are sufficient to condemn Mouni Sadhu; he is without Strength.

 

 

 

The Rise and Fall of Kings

Arcanum X is called the Wheel of Fortune, and is related to the Hebrew letter Yod, meaning hand or power.  Mouni Sadhu says the hieroglyph of this arcana is a man’s forefinger, stressing the active power of the Man-microcosm. The magicians of Egypt reached a point in their duel with Moses where they were unable to match his skills, and they told Pharaoh that it was “the finger of God”.  But here we see the finger of man portrayed.  There are multiple examples of this hieroglyph seen on the gravestones of Freemasons, and in the football stands where vain men wave huge foam fingers.

Wheel of Fortune

This chapter is lengthy, stressing its importance with  Mouni Sadhu.  Given that the gulf ever widens, with each Arcanum, between our author and me, I will concentrate on his main theme which is that of the ten emanations of the Sephiroth.    Mouni Sadhu also writes extensively on the Lord’s prayer, blaspheming it as he attempts to conform it to this tenth trump.  He gives this card three names besides the major titles of Rota Fortunae and the Sphinx.  This, as a  ternary he defines as Testamentum, Quabbalah, and Fortuna.

The goddess of Fortune is mentioned in the Old Testament as that  troop translated from the Hebrew word Gad.  Also in the same verse is mentioned that  number which refers to the goddess Meni, or Number.  Thus we read in Isaiah 65:11-12, “But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.  Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter:  because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.”

Ten emanations of Sephiroth

It is strange to me that most portrayals of the Sephiroth call it the tree of life. I have shown one image which displays the twenty-two paths of Tarot and has the serpent intertwined in this “tree”.  In Genesis 3 we see the serpent associated with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But after God cursed the serpent and Adam and Eve, he stationed cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life.  Thus the serpent is never to be found on the tree of life, for he is associated with Death.

22 paths of the Tarot Major Arcana on the Sephiroth with Serpent

When Jesus was tempted by the Devil, we remember that “the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.  And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will give it.  If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall me thine.” (Luke 4:5-7) He was rebuked by Jesus who said, “Get thee behind me Satan:  for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

Thus in Arcanum X we see Satan as the Sphinx guarding the way of the Devil, the knowledge of the tree of good and evil and overseeing a wheel of fortune.  Now we only need to take a quick visit to Las Vegas to see that a large Sphinx has been set up, and also many wheels of fortune, luring gamblers near and far to place their bets on this crooked system.

Sphinx in Las Vegas

Ten in the Bible has many applications such as the number of rebellions of Israel in the wilderness, and fire coming down from heaven.  I am going to focus in on the concept of the ten horns of the beast which are ten kings. Daniel 7:24 says, “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:  and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.”  We have already first seen Arcanum X as Satan in his seat allowing the rise or fall of lesser kings in so far as they worship him.  But this arcana, as Mouni Sadhu, reminds us, also displays the finger of Man.  There is a king who will sit in the seat of Satan and below him will be three kings on the wheel of fortune. If we examine the illustration on this tarot card, we see three personages rising and falling on the wheel of this trump.

Also, we find in Revelation 17:10-11 that “there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”  Thus if someone is so inclined, it might be worth while to look at the divisions of the wheel itself, for there are eight spokes: four with symbols, and four without.

Revelation 17:12 says, “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”  Perhaps their one mind is the Sephiroth, their power is Yod, the hand/power, and their strength is Arcanum XI. The numerology associated with this verse ties it in with Daniel 7:24, the Sephiroth, and the downfall of America on an altar.

Verse 16 then tell us, “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” The numerology of this verse reveals the Return Blow of vengeance against the queen of the number of the Sephiroth.  If one takes the time to examine the tenth Arcanum, there is some very dark history plus prophecies revealed in the Bible found in this trump.

Meanwhile, those foolish enough to play roulette with the wheel of Satan, do so at their own risk.  As one gambler told me, it is not a sin to gamble if you win. However, as the odds are in favor of the House of Satan winning over the long term; the house of Meni of that gambler will someday fold.

As Isaiah 66:3b-4 declares, “Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.  I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear:  but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.”

As A Light That Shineth In A Dark Place

We read in 2 Peter 1:19-21, “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day star arise in your hearts:  knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scriptures is of any private interpretation.  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

The Hermit Lucifer bearing Occult Light

Arcanum IX is called The Hermit, and has the hieroglyph of a roof, as protection or defence, and is represented by the Hebrew letter TETH.  Mouni Sadhu notes that this card has to do with Lux Occulta and the ternary Protectores-Iniatiato–Prudentia.  He tells his students that the illustration is not to be read as in a mirror; in other words, the Hermit is some being which you are not. So if this card is not to be read as “a mirror”, then who is this mysterious Hermit? Let us ignore the comments of Mouni Sadhu at this point, for he wanders far afield almost in a way which diverts our attention from the illustration before us. Except that he warns us of attacks from sex devils at night, so here I offer the underlying reason for that problem.

TESH as Nachash-The Serpent

We see an Ancient of Days sort of individual, solitary, bearing light. Ah yes, Lucifer himself, for that is the meaning of his name.  Occult light is that light which gives a private interpretation of the words of God.  Remember that scene in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:1, ” Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.  And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” In verse 4 he reassures Eve, “Ye shall not surely die:  for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil”.

Now this Arcanum has three main ideas, that of Protection, Initiation, and Prudence or Carefulness.  I think I remember that the Freemasons have a title for someone called The Protector and Conservator of the Order.  So it is here that we will find that notable order which is the defender of Lucifer.  Known by many names such as Ancient Bear, the Constellation of The Great Bear, the Order of the Leopard, the Knights Templar Crusaders, the Ninth Arcanum represents the Captain of these Defenders of Occult Light in the form of TETH.  We see TETH pictured as a Serpent ready to strike, and strike he does with the death curse known as the Whip of Fire.

Now 9=1+8,  The Master of Justice. Or 9=1+2+6, The Master of the Gnosis of the Law of Reaction, or the Return Blow.  How about 9=1+4+4? He is also Master of The Double Cross.  We remember that Mouni Sadhu means Silent Wandering Holy Man, so our author must be a Master of Cursing in the form of a beguiling, subtil serpent high priest.  Now Mouni Sadhu Unmasked has a sanctuary, a holy place; and if we add up the sums of his number we discover he is also a high priest Bear with the special ability to give the death curse of Pulsa d’Noura.  Since he regarded himself as having the purest of motives, of course, he never felt any return blow, right? Is it possible that that Cherub known as the Perfection of Wickedness perfectly balances the scales of Justice at all times?

FEAR THE RETURN BLOW

Mouni Sadhu explains that the hermetic equation of 8=2+6  represents Gnosis + the Law of Reaction in the Universe.  What this means for the operator in the realm of  static and dynamic binaries is that there can be a Return Blow to him based on several scenarios.  The most probable cause of a curse returning to the magician is when he creates “an astral vortex of a definite type against another person”.  Here he explains that this operator “creates the current  (vortex) in a perfectly finished form…and directs it to his aim…he realizes his action, and creates it as a physical fact, the clichés of which are joined to the karma of the operator in a positive or negative sense.”  He adds, “But it can also happen that the fact is not realized despite the existence of the tourbillon”. Why?  Well it depends on the actions of the victim!

He gives three reasons in detail and adds a fourth called the odic cloak which is not explained in detail.  Upon being made aware that an evil vortex has been directed against him, the victim can put on the armor of Concentration, and actively repel the aggression.  Secondly, there is the situation “when the victim of the attack, at the moment of active contact with the tourbillon’s energy, separates from its action by conscious and powerful concentration on another object of realization belonging to a cycle of astral projects much more perfect, and powerfully planned than was the scheme of the attacker.”

Thirdly, “when, in the moment of contact with the attacking vortex, the most active part of the pentagram of the man who is being attacked, lives in the sub-planes considered higher than those of the most active parts of the tourbillon.”  The example given is that of a victim who prays for his enemies.  This results in ” a larva of hatred (a very destructive thing, if it finds a suitable and ‘undefended’ target)”  returning as a blow to the sender.  Therefore the black magician typically directs the fury of  his vortex against two victims, and if the stronger repels it,  the vortex is  then directed at the weaker target.

An example of this Perfection of Wickedness would be the use of Exodus 21:17 which says, “And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.”  This scripture placed in the balances is the curse against the parents equalizing the death judgment on the child.  The Egregor of the black magicians using this method of trickery is none other than that of the  angel of the Knights Templar who  resents the implications of the Judges 5:23 bitter curse against the 33d degree high priest  Meroz.   After all, do they not mock those who plead the blood of Jesus Christ by claiming that these Christians are actually pleading Meroz the 33d high priest?  Proudly referring to himself as the Angel of the Priesthood of The Son of God who hath his eyes as a flame of fire, here we see the operations of that spirit of Death and Destruction.

But what saith the Scriptures?  Jeremiah 23:17-19 says this:  “They say unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.  For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word?  who hath marked his word, and heard it?  Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind:  it shall fall grieviously upon the head of the wicked.”

Perhaps these magicians,  who are treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath and judgment of the righteous God, should remind themselves of whose name and authority they have usurped.  We read in Revelation 19:11-16 this:  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.  His eyes are as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God.  And his armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.  And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

It is Strong Delusion to believe that this is  a description of the Captain of the host of the mighty Order of the Knights Templar Crusaders.  Woe unto the world because of offences!  for it must needs be that offenses shall come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! (Matthew 18:7)

Job 40:1-5 displays the repentance of Job for using the balances of the Master Builder as the means of instructing and reproving God.  But verses 6-14 further reprove him for being as a Double Headed Eagle Crowned Knights Templar  displaying the judgment of the throne of iniquity.  Job also repented and said that he had “uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.”  Wherefore he abhorred himself and repented in dust and ashes, unlike those Knights Templars of today which have taken upon themselves the mantle of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.  FEAR THE RETURN BLOW.

 

 

The Law of Reprobation

Arcanum VIII is  Justice,  the Hebrew letter Heth, and the hieroglyph the FIELD. It is passive and it is here that the Conqueror turns his activity. This hieroglyph, I should mention, is referred to in Judges 5:18-20,which says in part,  “Zebulon and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.  The kings came and fought…they fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.”  It was after this mighty battle that Judges 5:23 records, “Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.”  The meaning of the eighth Arcanum is deeper than meets the eye.

Mouni Sadhu says that behind the seated lady Themis are two columns with a canopy in between.  Her head is crowned and wears a golden band and her eyes are covered by a band, which indicates impartiality.  Her seated position denotes passivity, “something made and accomplished, and no longer acting.”  This statement is interesting, for when we view photos of the statues of Justicia we always see her standing and active.  Perhaps this passivity reflects the Deist view that God has set the world in motion with its laws, and he is no longer present acting upon this universe.

Mouni Sadhu says that this card is to be viewed as looking into a mirror.  Therefore what we would normally say is the left hand, is in fact the right hand holding the balances.  If we are looking into this card as a mirror, then the reflection is of us. Mouni Sadhu says, “There are three binaries in this card, all neutralized by third elements.  The first binary consists of the two columns, neutralized by Themis in the ‘middle space’.  The explanation here differs somewhat from previous ones: ‘If you see Jakin (right column) with Themis in the middle, then on the other side there must be Boaz’.”  That is, “If you see that there is a force on one side, and recognize the existence of the astral vortex (tourbillon) to which the force seen also belongs, then you should anticipate the existence of a second force, balancing the whole construction, and directed to the opposite side…If there is JUSTICE (-minus) and the possibility of spiritual harmony (neutral), then there must also be the third element-GRACE or CHARITY(+active).”  This leads to the idea of balance and law, and the law of cause and effect. The scales held in the hand of Themis forms another binary.

Mouni Sadhu asks, “Where does the magician use the fruits of his mental victory?”  He answers that it is in the astral plane, by his astral operations, and here is where he needs to consider the Law of Balance. It is necessary that the magician must counterbalance his astral desire with one of non-desire which will be of equal magnitude. He adds that for this reason prayer for others in charity is more effective than prayer for ourselves.

Mouni Sadhu, in speaking about justice, says that “whether and in which way an occultist can allow himself to defeat or to overcome his neighbor” becomes an important question. If you are primarily concerned about the transgression committed by the neighbor, this astral cliché will create itself through the eighth Arcanum and the mental judgment will create the axis of the astral vortex.  Therefore “the enlightened occultist has the right to judge the acts of others only in so far as he participates in the work of the Emanation of the Primary Cause. Briefly, only a true theurgist has the right to defeat another man.  Theurgy itself presupposes a very great clarity of contemplation and purity of feelings, so that in accordance with the Law, we can very seldom defeat someone else.”

He adds, “The magic punishments which Christian Illuminism allows its adepts have a collective name-‘Reprobatio’ which literally means a kind of condemnation.”  He list three types: a  lack of recognition of a man’s actions, sorrow for his actions, and condemnation of them. Referring to the Bible he uses the illustration of Christ telling us to ‘shake off the dust from your feet’, declaring that it is’ better  this man were not born’, and thirdly of Moses inflicting fiery death on his rebellious people.  Mouni Sadhu also gives the example of the Master of the Knights Templar who was burned on the stake as  cursing the Pope and the king to death.  The historical record declares that his death curse was indeed effective.

Mouni  Sadhu advises his students that they will have to “meditate deeply in order to fathom the secret that lies hidden in lawful reprobation.  He gives the example of a father cursing his son when he has the support of only one arcana, the fourth, representing his authority.  But the Law of Reprobation belongs to the eighth arcana which means it has to pass through the Sixth and the Seventh Arcanum.  In this regard let us read through Romans 1:18 through 2:11, regarding the Law of Reprobation of persons who disregard not only the laws of God, and the person of God, but also the “power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth…for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17)

Arcanum I:  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shown it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:  because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Arcanum II:  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.

Arcanum III:  Wherefore God also gave  them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:  who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.  Amen.

Arcanum IV:  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Arcanum V:  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:  who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Arcanum VI:  Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.  But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.  And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Arcanum VII:  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

 Arcanum VIII:  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God:  who will render to every man according to his deeds:  to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:  but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; but glory and honor and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:  for there is no respect of persons with God.

Nicolaitans

Arcanum VII is called  The Chariot, or Curriculum Hermetis, meaning  the Chariot of Hermes;   Mouni Sadhu calls this trump The Conqueror.  Prior to explaining this card, our author presents us with “the scheme of the first six arcana, which gives us the basis for the seventh, as the final link in the FIRST SEPTENARY of the Tarot.”  This he summarizes as “Husband (1) fecundates the wife (2) resulting in the birth of the child (3) which, being fed and nursed physically and astrally (4) attains sufficient authority (4) to manifest itself on the astral plane (5) in the name of the whole family; but there meets with the dilemma of good and evil (6) chooses the GOOD and gains the victory (7).  For the Seventh Arcanum means just that VICTORY.”

Mouni Sadhu presents us with an illustration of the Septenaries of the Tarot, showing three hexagrams with a center point.  These Septenaries represent God, Man, and The Universe.  On the first one, which we are concerned, the upper triangle has Spirit, Matter, Creation.  And the Inverse triangle shows Will, Intelligence, and Beauty.  The point is untitled, so I assume it is Victory.

In the Introduction of this book, our author displayed seven triangles representing the twenty-two arcana.  This I proposed as “Swearing an oath in the name of Jehovah God”, the Tetragrammaton.  Instead of forming groupings by 3, we have now formed three Hexagons.  Since the hexagram equals six, the point representing seven is the Conqueror of the Hexagram.  My thought is that this could, for example, represent the Chief Prince of Israel, which nation is represented by a hexagram on their flag.  Of course, in the occult world, this chief prince is not Michael, who serves God.  Michael has been assigned to the sixth arcana; not the seventh. A name is proposed in a later chart showing Anael, or Uriel, as the Conqueror of the Hexagram (Michael).  But of course in the book of Revelation we see Michael and his angels casting Satan down from heaven to earth at some point in the future.

Mouni Sadhu further describes Arcanum VII as displaying a blue canopy, strewn with golden pentagrams.  He says that these are the dwellers on the higher sub-planes of the astral world.  “These pentagrams surpass the man by their powers, but also assist him, by giving their protection.  The canopy is supported by four columns,” the Hermetic virtues of TO DARE, TO BE SILENT, TO KNOW, AND TO TRY.

Our Conqueror has armor which protects him from attack: three right angles. His armour is (1) correctness of his logic, (2) the arranging of his thoughts in a right form and (3) keenness and infallibility in physical realization.  The chariot has aspects described by Ezekiel which involve the visions he saw of a moveable throne of God and the cherubims.  Occult practitioners often interpret his vision as being the witness of the visit of a Mother Ship of alien gods.

Much of the commentary on Arcanum VII involves instruction in ceremonial magical rituals.  We see that each Arcanum leads the magician further down into the depths of Satan. I would like to consider the Conqueror sitting in his chariot.   Sisera, the Captain of the host of Jabin, was notable for his 900 chariots of iron.  The LORD sold Israel into the hand of Jabin, king of Canaan, because of the evil they had done in the sight of the LORD.  Judges 4 and 5 detail this history. Sisera, a military commander who has numerical associations with the number 666, and the priesthood of Lucifer, was not victorious in the end.  Then we have that wicked King Ahab who was wounded and bled to death in his chariot.

In the Book of Revelation,  notable for its repeat use of the number Seven, we find reference in chapter two to some group which has infiltrated both of the churches in Ephesus and Pergamos.  This is the Nicolaitans, whose deeds and doctrine God says he hates.  Nicolaitans means Conqueror of the People.  In the case of Pergamos, we find a great temple described as “where Satan’s seat is”.  While there are those in this church who honor God, Revelation 2:14-15 says this: “But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.  So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. ”

The seat of Satan at Pergamos

Revelation 2:16 warns, Repent, or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.”  Who is giving this warning?  It is Jesus Christ who is the Victory, the Conqueror, who sits at the right hand of God.

The Star of your god Remphan

Arcanum VI is represented by the Hebrew letter Vau, the number 6, and the hieroglyph of the eye and the ear. Although not pointed out by Mouni Sadhu, I would like to note that Vau is also The Nail, a symbol often used to denote Satan.  This tarot card shows a young man with two women;  the one on his right is trying to show him the right way, and the one on the left represents temptation to do the wrong thing.  Mouni Sadhu explains that the three figures on the right side of the man form an evolutionary triangle reflecting the virtue in the young man.  The three figures on the left therefore form an involutionary triangle.  A mirror image has been created with the man standing at a crossroads of decision making.  Indirectly we can also see the form of the stauros. Mouni Sadhu has named this tarot card Temptation rather than The Lovers, as others have done.  One of the names also given Arcanum VI is The Enamoured One, which seems to capture both ideas.

“Analogy and reflection are the principles on which is built the pentacle of this Arcanum, the Great Hexagram, or Solomon’s Star, or the Seal of Solomon, the personal side of the Great Pentacle of Solomon, Sign of the Macrocosm, and so on.  This pentacle is a combination of two triangles, one of which is the reflection of the other.  In the center of the hexagram we see a stauros symbolizing the process of fecundation: the vertical arm is active and male, the horizontal one is passive and female.”  Mouni Sadhu then adds that this pentacle contains within it almost the whole content of Arcanum VI.

Tau in center of Hexagram

After looking at several concepts and applying the hexagram idea of ascending and descending triangles, our author asks, “But where will we find the necessary instruction for the true choice between the two triangles?  Tradition tells us that it comes from  the SPIRITUAL HARMONY in us.”  He then turns to the Hermetic conception of harmony; “the neutralization of the binaries of  ‘Adam-Eve”, ‘Activity-susceptibility’ inside of the astral man himself”.

 Temptation, as a persuasive power affecting our eyes and ears,  creates a crossway in the heart and mind of fallen mankind. We should remind ourselves that when Jesus Christ died on the Cross and accomplished our redemption, his life and death also condemned sin in the flesh.  Arcanum VI undervalues the end result of the decisions men make in their lifetime.

Whereas this tarot card shows an innocent  looking cherub shooting an arrow which is punitive, according to Mouni Sadhu, into the evil woman on the left side, most of us have seen Valentine’s Day  cards where the arrow was the cause of infatuation.  When I view this archer in the card, and the idea of temptation as originating from the Devil, I think of Obadiah 1:14. It says, “Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.”  Solomon in the book of Proverbs contrasts Wisdom with the Strange Woman, and gives warning against that persuasive harlot whose path leads to hell.  James 1:14-15 says, ” But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

It is interesting to note that modern Israel displays the hexagram of this Arcanum on its flag.  Amos 5:25-26 asks, “Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?  But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.” In the book of Acts, Stephan addressed the council of the Jews, referencing this Old Testament passage, but he called their image, “the star of your god Remphan”.  The Hexagram does not so much seem to be a sign of temptation in its first stages, so much as a sign of the finality of judgment upon the tempted who as 2 Timothy 4:4 notes, “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 

 

Satan Transformed into an Angel of Black Light

The Great Hierophant or Pope wearing triple crown rather than horns of Isis

Arcanum V is the Great Hierophant, the High Priest Initiator into the Mysteries, seated between two pillars as the Master of Magic.  This man, says Mouni Sadhu, displays “the enlightened will-power, of the active authority, the human PENTAGRAM.” The tarot card illustration by our author shows this high priest, or Pope, as having the two horns and moon of Isis, whereas other tarot cards display a triple crown.  Holding the triple cross of the hierophant, which rises higher than the binary horns, indicates that this is the upright pentagram of White Magic.  Mouni Sadhu, in contrast to others, says that one of the two men kneeling at the feet of the Great hierophant is black, while the other is white. The Hierophant as a PENTAGRAM is “triumphant, together with all the powers of light, even over the forces of Darkness, compelling them to serve his GOOD aims”.

Arcanum V is represented by the Hebrew letter He’, the number five, and the hieroglyph “Breathing,” a symbol of life.  Here we see that Five represents the Tetragrammaton with the letter Shin added.  Shin is viewed as three cloven tongues of fire, the Divine Spirit, or the desire for knowledge and enlightenment, the Logos.  Mouni Sadhu tells us that “the Fifth Arcanum of the Tarot teaches us about the potential power or ability which exists in every one of us, and which creates our individual force, our active life.”  He poses the question, “How is it possible to create in us this human pentagram, this astral power?” To answer this he provides us with a systematic approach to developing the astral, mental and physical aspects of the individual man.  The primary key to unlock this enlightened will-power is the power of Concentration.

The use of occult numerology begins to get more interesting in Arcanum V, as five can be viewed as 1+4, 4+1, 2+3, or 3+2. A pentagram viewed in either an upright or an inverted position can mean the differences between the motives of a white or a black magician.

Upright Pentagram of White Magic

Inverted Pentagram of Black Magic or Incarnation from Logos or spirit to flesh

Mouni Sadhu notes that in an inverted pentagram, the 5=2+3 “symbolizes the obscuring of the absolute essence of the triple law by means of mirage-like, deceptive astral clichés.  This happens  because of the presence and activity of involutionary (that is, tending to a deeper  merging into matter) tourbillons (vortexes), and to them correspond  the dark beings, like:  black magicians occupied with work on the astral plane,” elementars who in between incarnations are looking for a physical body for their lusts, egregors , and astral scum such as larvas.

The pentagram with the formula 5=3+2 composed of the highest and middle principles of the Great Arcanum of Magic represents the white magician, spirit guides and egregors and elementars of the positive type.  The Great Hierophant is an upright pentagram of the highest sort, “the fully evolved pentagram…the man who has attained power over the elements and astral currents, that is, he is endowed with super-physical abilities, which make him a magician.”

Mouni Sadhu explains that the astral plane reacts to symbols.  Since beings on the astral plane do not have a body, unless they have access to a medium or other body, they do not see as we do. They most likely see energy patterns, thus when a magician aims to make himself into the Pentagram, he is then able to dominate the astral world by the power of the image he has created.

Fluorescent Minerals under a black light

The Bible notes that Satan is able to transform himself into an angel of light. My thought is that perhaps he appears as a black light on the astral plane.  For Matthew 6:22-23 says, “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.  But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.  If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”

The woes spoken against the scribes, and Pharisees, hypocrites in Matthew 23 appear also to be spoken against Arcanum V, for we see in verse 2 that Jesus is referring to the scribes and the Pharisees which sit in Moses’ seat as expositors.  The Greek word here for seat is cathedra, which reminds us of the Pope, to whom in verse 9, Jesus says to “call no man your Father on earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.”

I note that the seat of Moses was also a judgment seat.  Mouni Sadhu does not mention that there is an outline of a pentagram traced out in our solar system by the relationship of the orbits of Venus and Earth.   In 2922 days,  Venus orbits the sun  five times and the earth  eight times. Venus is also a symbol of Lucifer, who seems to hold the mastery and the power of Moses’ Seat, now that this righteous prophet is no longer here.  

Mention is made by our author of the warring of pentagrams and the sorcery involved in controlling other human pentagrams. It appears to me that the upright and inverted pentagrams, when in rotation, become indistinguishable, and create a vortex of black light.  Those persons who wish to kneel at the feet of the Great Hierophant will discover upon their death that they were unable to transform their fallen natures into what Adam was previously, before he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  If Lucifer cannot overcome his fall, how can man do so by following his  rebellious counsel?  The Bible refutes the karmic, reincarnation theology of redemption put forth by Mouni Sadhu, who in his book, is our Great Hierophant.

Jesus spoke to the Jews who considered themselves Upright Pentagrams, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.  He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there was no truth in him.  When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”(John 8:44)

I will mention one more comparison to be made with the Great Hierophant, having to do with the Melchizedek Order.  Many persons have speculated that Shem was this high priest which Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils to.  Genesis 9:26 says in part, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem.  We are to note that the name of Noah’s son Shem means Name.  So here we see the combination of Jehovah, God, and Name. The high priesthood of Lucifer displays no conscience in stealing names and titles from God, whether it be to base their works on the Tetragrammaton, or to add Shin as the Holy Spirit, and steal the Melchizedek priesthood from Jesus Christ.

When Jesus Christ came from heaven as the WORD made flesh, according to Arcanum V principles, this represented an involutionary process of the Inverted Pentagram of Black Magic. Since the Great Hierophant arose to his high place by an evolutionary process and is represented by the upright Pentagram of White Magic, I suppose this is to signify that Satanic redemption is higher than God’s redemption of mankind. However the Bible declares in Hebrews 1:8-9 declares “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.  Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

 

Centre Point of the Death of the Cross

Under Arcanum IV,  Mouni Sadhu discusses the four Virtues of Hermetism which are to Dare, to Know, to Keep Silent, and to Will.  These four virtues he assigns to the pattern of a Greek Cross, which has equal length arms.  He explains that the cross  is an example of man’s active and passive manifestations on the astral plane. On such a cross, to Dare would be represented by a black horizontal bar, with the vertical colored white.  To Know is a black cross. To Keep Silent is represented by a cross with a black vertical bar, with the horizontal white.  To Will is a white cross.

Greek Cross representing “To Know” the light within which is Darkness

The vertical arm of the cross has Yod at the top and Vau at the bottom; the upper,as more active, is assigned the sphere of Good.  The lower is assigned the realm of Evil.  The horizontal arm of the cross has the first, or passive, He’ at the left, as the receiver of Evil influences; the second He’, as active, is at the right and the receiver of good influences.  Mouni Sadhu says, “An Initiate must, in every moment of his life discriminate well between both realms, and always to hold himself in the middle, in the neutral point of the centre of the cross.”  He adds that this is knowledge of good and evil in deeds.

“Man, who has reached the wisdom of the arcanum of authority (that is the Fourth of the Tarot) should not only understand  how to discriminate between good and evil, in his own deeds, but also to realize how to use good and evil influences alike.” That is how Mouni Sadhu explains the meaning of the cross.

He overlooks the biblical references to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the fact that a man judged worthy of death and  hung on a tree is accursed of God.  He ignores the historical narrative of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, who as a sinless man, and unworthy of death, was hung on a cross and overcame the wrath of God against mankind’s sin which began in the garden of Eden and ended with us receiving  Death as the wages of our sin.

Mouni Sadhu continues, “The mystical authority of Man is based on the fact, that he should stand in the centre of the Hermetic Cross, then being present in all its elements, and so become the master of them, as is the case with the central point which belongs to all of the cross.”  Now at this point he assigns various elements of the metaphysical, physical and astral planes to his Hermetic Cross, and creates some common arrangements such as the circle of Ezekiel.

I think that Job must have felt that he was caught in the rotating circle of the Hermetic Cross.  For Job 23:8-9 says, “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him; on the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him:  he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.  But he knoweth the way that I take:  when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job came forth as gold in part because he understood the importance of the blood sacrifice and his need for a redeemer. In addition he learned that man cannot at will enter into the hidden realm of God’s will.

It is apparent from the lesson that Mouni Sadhu has given on the centre point of the cross, and the idea of rotation, that vortices of power can be created.  I can see that a simple cross can be developed into a more complicated form such as the sixteen pointed cross or star of the Central Intelligence Agency.

16 pointed cross shown as a star

While he does not go beyond the basic cross in Arcanum Four, I can see that the centre point of a swastika is similar to the Polaris star around which Ursa Major and Ursa Minor revolves.  The Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear or the Plough, symbolizes the high priesthood of Lucifer.  To this Proverbs 21:4 says, “An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.”  I can see no way that Mouni Sadhu can escape his own iniquity when he desires to neutralize all binaries that cannot be neutralized.

In his final lesson on Arcanum IV, we learn of The Great Arcanum, which is not to be confused with the Arcanum of the Tarot.  Mouni Sadhu says, “In magic, this unitary connection between the metaphysical axiom, astral tourbillon, and physical method is called the Great Arcanum”.  He notes that this final mystery of the maximum of human power is never communicated by a Master to his pupil directly.  If the student is in fact ready for this understanding, he will reach it on his own.  The driving aim behind these magical operations is “the perennial search by Man for his eternal HOME, that forgotten and lost spiritual fatherland to which leads the Great Arcanum of the Hermetic Tradition.”

The Great Arcanum is the realization of Man’s true being or ultimate SELF.  I understand this to mean that it is a search for the powers given to Adam before he disobeyed God and was cast out of the Garden of Eden.  It is also seen as a means of overcoming  the Cherubims and the flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.  These magicians initiated into each Arcanum of the Tarot display an increasing pride of heart.

Three symbols are shown by Mouni Sadhu to represent The Great Arcanum of Magic.  The top and first is a triangle (a ternary) with Yod and He’.  The middle is a hexagram with Vau , and the third lower symbol is a quaternary, a square with He’ enclosed in a circle with a cross.  I am not going to go into the details of such magic, except to note that INRI and IGNE NATURA RENOVATUR INTEGRA are brought into this lesson.  INRI, Mouni Sadhu notes, was the symbol of the Rosicrucians.  And we see this symbol on the 33d degree of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. Thus in addition to misusing the name of God, Jehovah as the Tetragrammaton, we also see the blasphemous use of the name of Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.  And these magicians really think that they can live on a neutral point on the Cross and escape the executioner of Death?
