Chnoubis is the the Gnostic Agathodaimon (good demon) who is often portrayed in medical amulets and coins as a lion-
headed and or man-headed serpent, with two legs, a crown of seven or twelve rays and the tail of a serpent. This demon had always been considered as good and is known to be the driver away of bad demons, and the destroyer of demons.
As I had mentioned in many of my previous articles on demons, the ancient Phoenicians, Greeks and Greco-Egyptians did not consider demons to be all evil and or bad. They had led the belief that there were both good and bad demons who were considered wise and all knowing. Demons who had the power to do good or bad dependent on their free will.
You will also find this demon’s name spelled in various different ways throughout history such as Ξνούβις Khnoubis, Khnoumis Kanobis, Knoubis, Ammon-Chnubis and Ammon-Chnoumis to name a few.
Let me also add that Chnoubis is not really a serpent, but a worm. (more…)

In the Hebrew bible of the Old Testament and in the New Testament, the Holy of Holies (Kodesh Hakodashim) sits behind
the two pillars and refers to the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle where God was believed to be present. It is further described as an inner shrine housing the Ark of the Covenant guarded by two-winged golden cherubim, and an outer chamber (Holy Place) with a golden lampstand, table for showbread, and altar of incense.
The meaning of tabernacle(Hebrew: מִשְׁכַּן, mishkan), is “a dwelling place or to take up temporary residence; especially: to inhabit a physical body.” This allegorical description above of the Holy of Holies as an inner shrine and a temporary residence to inhabit a physical body, tells us esoterically where this tabernacle is located.
It is not only a man-made building or structure, but also part of the human body, and that in science we can simply call the tabernacle our skull which holds the chalice for our brains, with the winged golden cherubim guarding our thoughts being our hippocampus or ammon’s horn; a subject I have written about many times.
This is the beginning explanation of the hidden esoteric meanings behind some of these gnostic biblical stories that were meant to teach initiates to know thyself and to reach a state of true gnosis. This wonderful gnostic story is further explained by Manly P. Hall who had written about this in the Initiates of the Flame: (more…)

From the Hebrews, who used it mystically at the Temple, it passed over to the Freemasons, who adopted it as the symbol of
plenty, for which it is well adapted by its swelling and seed-abounding fruit. – Albert Mackey
In the history of our world’s religions, and buried deep within the lights of the Brotherhood are the Gnostic mysteries of the sacred pomegranate. It is said by some to be one of the most holy secrets known to all Abrahamic religions, and secret societies which are based on the oldest of holy sciences known as Gnosis.
This is why we can find the red pomegranate as a symbol of fertility, abundance and the seeds of the holy blood line for the Jews, and both Greek Orthodox, and Roman Catholic Christianity. According to Christian tradition, the pomegranate is a symbol of Mary as Mother of the Church. In Spain, the pomegranate flourished and came to be regarded as the symbol of the Golden Age in Granada.
The pomegranate held by Jesus, (pictured to the right in Granada, Spain) symbolizes the victory of the Catholic Monarchy. When the Spanish Monarchy had conquered the Americas and Mexico in 1521, the Jesuit Brotherhood began their missionary work among the Indians, and with them they brought the fruit of the pomegranate.
The Ancient Egyptians regarded the pomegranate as a symbol of prosperity and ambition. According to the Ebers Papyrus, one of the oldest medical writings from around 1500 BC, Egyptians used the pomegranate for treatment of tapeworm and other infections.
In Ancient Greek mythology, the pomegranate was mentioned many times in early Grecian history before the founding of Rome. It was was known as the “fruit of the dead”, and believed to have sprung from the blood of Adonis, and were offered to the Goddess Demeter.
Homer mentions the pomegranate twice in the Odyssey as a fruit common to the gardens of Phoenicia (Crete) and Phrygia. Herodotus, the Greek historian, states that when the Persians under Xerxes invaded Greece there was a regiment or battalion known as the “Pomegranate Brigade.” These soldiers constituted Xerxes’ own bodyguard, and carried spears with golden pomegranates at the lower end instead of spikes.(The Pomegranate by Robert Willard Hodgson) (more…)

(By Albert Pike – foundation for the 27 degree Scottish Rite Freemasonry) – Truth, in act, profession, and opinion, is rarer now
than in the days of chivalry.
Falsehood has become a current coin, and circulates with a certain degree of respectability; because it has an actual value.
It is indeed the great Vice of the Age—it, and its twin-sister, Dishonesty.
Men, for political preferment, profess whatever principles are expedient and profitable.
At the bar, in the pulpit, and in the halls of legislation, men argue against their own convictions, and, with what they term logic, prove to the satisfaction of others that which they do not themselves believe. (more…)
