“I had discovered, early in my researches, that their doctrine was no mere chemical fantasy, but a philosophy they applied to the world, to the elements, and to man himself.” – William Butler Yeats
“Medicine rests upon four pillars – philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics.” – Paracelsus
The average individual does not realize that life, consciousness, and intelligence are separate and apart from physical substance, merely functioning through chemical bodies during the temporary span which we call life in the chemical world. One of the great occult laws is that to function in any sphere or plane of substance in nature you must have a body sensitive to and capable of adjustment with that plane of substance. — Manly P Hall; Magic: A Treatise on Esoteric Ethics
“The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.” ― William H. Gass
“All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous.” ― Paracelsus (more…)

There was a time in ancient history when the priesthood in various cultures were required to sever their penis’, or what is more commonly known as castration. These priests were first known as eunuchs (/ˈjuːnək/; Greek: εὐνοῦχος) and the Galli, who according to Herodian were named after a river called Gallus in Phrygia which is another name for the Mediterranean island of Crete.
The Cretan Galli celebrated the rites of the Goddess near the River Gallus, and it was reported that if you drank the water it would drive you mad. During the celebrations they would dance wildly in circles, beat drums, howl like wolves, and slash at their skin until it bled to which relates that of Ovid;
“Gallus, with his distracting Waters Glides, On Green Cybele and Cylene’s Sides.”
The meaning of the word eunuch is an emasculated person, and which we may also connect with the biblical Enoch that is derived from the Hebrew name חֲנוֹך (Chanokh) meaning “devoted or dedicated”. It was said that castration was most often carried out on the soon-to-be eunuch without his consent in order that he might perform a specific social function.
Eunuchs were often employed as priests and royal court officers, who many of them had great power and influence. They were also in charge of the priestesses of the Goddess as chamberlains; i. e. those who have charge of the bedchamber. In ancient Egypt it came to be applied to any court officer, whether they were castrated or not.
We learn from Clemens of Alexandria, that Pythagoras the philosopher and first true mathemagician was made an eunuch. Herodotus had said that in Persia they were far from being objects of contempt, but were frequently promoted to the highest offices. They had worn woolen good and were said to dress like the woman of that time. One of the great generals in the service of the Byzantine Emperor, Justinian I Narses was an eunuch, and also Hermias, governor of Atarnea in Mysia was also an eunuch. (more…)

Let it be said that not every Freemason is a true Mason of the heart, or an immortal member of the Great Brotherhood of the divine elect of philosophers. Many Bros are simply Masons of the material world who are what Manly P. Hall called in The Secret Teaching of All Ages, “who are brethren in name only.”
This fact explains the reality that most Masons who join the craft are what Hall says are “unresponsive to the teachings and purpose of Freemasonry.” (more…)
