The Cunning vs. Those of Lesser Wit 

The late Sovereign Grand Commander (Scottish Rite), 
Dr. Albert Mackey, 33°, in his classic encyclopedia 
reference book, says that the Fellow Craft degree 
implies "mutual trust" among the "brethren" of the 
Order. But he notes it is in a lower degree. The Masons, in the Middle Ages, he writes, 
were divided into two classes. Masters and Fellows: 

Those who were of greater skill held a higher position and were designated as 
Masters while the masses of the Fraternity, the commonality, as we might say, were 
called Fellows . 3 

Put another way, Mackey says that those possessing more "cunning" were 
graded as Masters, while the Fellows were of "lesser wit." 4 

But of course, today, most all Masons begin by being initiated into the First Degree 
(Entered Apprentice). Then, the new Member is said to be passed into the Second 
Degree (Fellow Craft), and next is raised in the Third Degree (Master Mason). These 
are the three degrees of what is called the Blue Fodge of Freemasonry. 

Why Is It Employed By High level Illuminists? 

In this chapter we will reveal a number of high-rank Illuminists giving the Sign of 
Fellow Craft (2°) Mason. Now since this degree is of lower status, this begs the 
question of why such famous, publicly acclaimed men as evangelists Billy Graham 
and Pat Robertson, as well as occult leader Annie Besant, Russian President Boris 
Yeltsin, and international financier Sir James Rothschild are all displaying the Fellow 
Craft sign. The answer is a fascinating one. 

Mackey writes that the degree — and thus its primary sign — denotes a "fellow 
workman," a commoner. In other words, it represents the masses of common people. 
It represents, adds Mackey, the "Stage of manhood" and the maturation of humanity 
by progression of man's "reasoning faculties and. ..intellectual powers." 5 In essence, 
the Fellow Craft degree represents man progressively brought to a high status of 
possessing the supreme wisdom of the serpent. Man as a whole becomes god 
through reason. Therefore, the promise of the serpent made to Adam and Eve is 
realized: "Ye shall be as gods."

Wisdom of the Serpent 

Those who display this sign, the Sign of the Fellow Craft, to their fellows in the Craft 
(the Illuminist, magical cult) are those chosen and ambitious of instructing the 
masses on the wisdom of the serpent. Since religious, or spiritual wisdom, is deemed 
essential and of a high order in Satan's kingdom, it is only natural that his human 
representatives on earth who are leaders in the religious field show this sign of 
recognition. Besant, a Theosophist, also displays the sign as her cult organization is 
based on serpentine occult wisdom, the perennial philosophy. Yeltsin was acclaimed 
by the press as popular leader of the Russian peoples' revolution, and Rothschild 
desires to rule on the throne over all humanity as head of the Illuminati's Inner 
Circle. 

Also pictured here, in the pages that follow, giving the sign: Jesse and Frank 
James, outlaws celebrated as "Robin Hoods" who, it is claimed, showered some of 
their stolen wealth on the poor; Anton LaVey, who founded the Church of Satan in 
1966 proclaiming it a Temple of Reason for those of wisdom and who sought mass 
membership as patronage; Socialist Eugene Debs, who claimed to represent the 
common man; and John Wilkes Booth, alleged assassin of President Abraham 
Lincoln. Booth was a Freemason and as such, was a fomenter of international 
revolutions of the people; Lincoln was not a Mason and sought to quell insurrection 
of the masses. 



The Sign of a Lellow Craft Mason is made by raising the right hand to the left breast, 
with the palm towards the breast and the fingers crooked. Then, draw the hand 
smartly across the breast from left to right and let it drop to the side. 

In performing the sign, the individual is taking his right hand, making a type of 
beastly devil's claw out of it and then raking it across the breast 
from left to right. C. L. McQuaig, in The Masonic Report, calls this 
the Penal sign. It is made to remind the person giving it of his oath 
taken, that if he discloses the secrets of the Order or gives aid and 
comfort to its enemies, he should have the right breast torn open 
and the heart torn out. In sum, this is a ghastly sign warning of 
death to he who dares betray the Order of the Illuminati. 



Sign of the Fellow Craft, or Second Degree. Notice the right hand position on 
the breast with the fingers crooked in somewhat of a loose "fist." After both 
arms are in the position shown the left hand is quickly dropped. Duncan 's 
Masonic Ritual and Monitor (id. Ed., p. 16) says: "In making the due guard and 
sign of the Fellow Craft, or Second Degree, care must be taken to drop the left 
arm suddenly and with spirit, as soon as the two motions are accomplished. "

Secret Societies (audiotape 1987) 



Many believe that Satanism and Luciferian worship are miles apart 
from the rituals, practices, and philosophies of the secret societies 
and the Order of the Illuminati. In fact, there is no real distinction 
between these groups. As Dr. Michael Aquino, hard-core satanist and founder of the 
Temple of Set once acknowledged, the satanists merely have a "more precise" 
understanding of occult reality. 

Aleister Crowley, the late British satanist, who relished calling himself, "the 
wickedest man on planet earth," no doubt would have agreed with Aquino. Crowley

was initiated into a number of different Masonic fraternities, satanic rites, and occult 
groups, including the Rite of Memphis, Mexican Scottish Rite 33°, Grand Orient 33°, 
and the Rite of Misraim. In 1912 he was honored by fellow Luciferians of the Ordo 
Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), being acknowledged for his superior Gnostic knowledge 
and giftedness and given the following exalted rank and title: 1 

Aleister St. Edward Crowley 33°, 90°, 95°, X°

"An Elephant Would Break Down..." 

Crowley claimed that from Bucharest, Hungary to Salt Lake City, Utah, he was 
showered with honors, titles, degrees and occult paraphernalia. So much was he 
recognized that a bemused Crowley wittily remarked, "an elephant would break 
down under the insignia I am entitled to wear." - It was Napoleon who once observed 
how easy it is to win men over through flattery simply by bequeathing a title to them 
or pinning a medal or token on their chest. 

Crowley's wicked philosophies and his ritual experimentation — such as the 
"Babalon Working" ritual designed to invoke the coming of Antichrist — greatly 
inspired copycats and imitators. Such include L. Ron Hubbard, who reportedly 
studied Crowley's works and went on to found the fake religion called Scientology; 
Anton LaVey, who founded the Church of Satan and authored The Satanic Bible; and 
Alfred Kinsey, notorious sex 
researcher whose Kinsey 
Institute pandered to kinky 
homosexuals and vicious 
pedophiles. 3 

Crowley often acted 
nutty and bizarre, but he 
was so trusted by the British 
government that it enthu- 
siastically used his services 
in an Intelligence unit 
during the World War II 
conflict against the Nazis. 

Crowley's adoption of 
the hermaphroditic, horned 
goat-god Baphomet as his 
own magical name indicates 
how powerful is this idol to Illuminists. Crowley certainly knew who Baphomet 
represents. In his book. Magic in Theory and Practice, he states: 

This serpent, Satan, is not the enemy of man... He is 'The Devil' of the (Egyptian) 

Book of Thoth, and his emblem is 'Baphomet,' the Androgyne who is the 
hieroglyph of arcane perfection... But moreover his letter is Ayin, the Eye; he is

light and his zodiacal image is Capricomus, that leaping goat whose attribute is 
liberty . 4 



No doubt the Inner Circle of the 
Illuminati have specific objectives in mind 
that are being met by men like Crowley, 
LaVey, Hubbbard, and Kinsey. These men 
and their followers are used to degrade and 
debase humanity, vulgarize religion, and 
destroy sane and moral culture. In truth, the 
philosophies of these evil men are in accord 
with that of the Illuminati. At the core level of 
Weishaupt's philosophy was always the 
"elevation" of humanity to god-status. 

"Do As Thou Wilt... "

The pitch was to inspire men to reject God's 

laws and God's religion and strike out in liberty, doing one's own thing. In other 
words, live free beyond any bounds of morality or propriety. Lust, free sex, immoral 
conduct, rape, pillage, plunder — all are permitted the New Man of Reason. As 
Crowley's One Great Commandment put it, "Do As Thou Wilt Shall be the Whole of the 



Law. " 



Now Baphomet, the androgynous horned, half man-woman, half goat god of the 
medieval Knights Templars, inculcates this "Do your own thing" philosophy of 
Illuminism. He is the very image of the freethinker, the Mason and Illuminist who 
raises the "Torch of Liberty" — the fire of hell and light of Lucifer. The Knights 
Templar, predecessor to today's Freemasons, revered Baphomet as the deity of 
wisdom. Look closely at the reverse side of the U.S. dollar bill and you will find the 

horns of Baphomet meticulously designed and imbedded. 

In this chapter, you will discover more about Baphomet; about the Green Man; 
about Pan, the horned witch god; and about Crowley and his Ordo Templi Orientis 
(O.T.O.). Since the days of Alexander the Great, the horned god has been worshipped 
by a significant portion of mankind. The Holy Bible records, for example, the 
worship of Baal, the horned fire god. Michaelangelo and some other artists, 
strangely, created sculptures blasphemously showing Moses, the biblical prophet, 
with horns. All of these horned deities and images represent lust, because the horn is 
itself a phallic symbol in the occult world. 



Of Stars and Goatees 



In recent times, Communist revolutionaries adopted the Star, also symbol of 
Baphomet (see the star on the Baphomet goat's forehead in this chapter), and some — 
Karl Marx, Che Gueverra and others — adopted the huge and straggly beard in honor 
of the goatee of Baphomet, the deity whom they secretly worshipped. Revealingly, the 
late Anton LaVey, spouting his hellish philosophy in his final book, Satan Speaks, says

of Baphomet's beard: "The essence of Satanism is. ..the beard of wisdom on the goat 
within the inverted star." 5 

Many Hollywood celebrities have become involved in the depths of satanism. 
Beautiful actresses like Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe were used as sex tools 
by the elite, and men such as singer Sammy Davis, Jr., as well as dozens of rock 'n' 
roll entertainers, were used as Illuminist toys, providing fun, games, and 
entertainment for the elite. Davis was made an honorary 11° in Dr. Michael Aquino's 
Temple of Set cult. Blonde bombshell actress Jayne Mansfield was so enamored of

straggly, unkempt beard honored the beard of the 
Illuminati diety, Baphomet, and represented "Cosmic 
Intelligence and Will. " 



Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the 
Church of Satan, died on October 29, 1997. 
Oddly, Edmund de Rothschild, senior head 
of the Rothschild banking dynasty, died the 
same day. LaVey said that the beard of 
Baphomet was a sign of wisdom.

According to one respected source, U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush 
(Bush the Senior) once stunned congressional leaders when he made an entrance into 
the Oval Office wearing a goat's head mask! 6 

The He Goat of Prophecy 

Significant, indeed, is the biblical passage in Daniel 8:8-22, which symbolically 
pictures a great world leader in the last days as a "he goat." This he goat, say the 
scriptures, becomes very strong and his power is symbolized by a horn that arises 
from his forehead. This strange and evil creature makes war on the host of God and 
stamps upon them. Is this not an image of the Beast, Baphomet, worshipped in secret 
by the Illuminati?

The Baptism of a Satanic Witch 

In the ceremonies of pagan religions, baptisms — counterfeits of the Christian 
sacrament — were conducted as rites of initiation. Below is the modern-day account 
of one such dark baptism, exactly as it is recorded in the book, The Satanic Witch, by 
Anton LaVey, head of the Church of Satan. LaVey has declared that the goal of his 
unholy church is to usher in a "New Age." (The person being baptized is LaVey's 
daughter, Zeena, and the words are hers.) 

My baptism was indeed the reversal of a Christian baptism. Instead of being 
dunked into a cold bath by a strange, sexless man to be cleansed of "original sin," 
we celebrated man and nature as they really are. 

As I sat wearing the red robe my mother made that morning, I toyed with the 
Baphomet amulet dangling around my neck. Imperiously, I surveyed the sea of 
black-hooded celebrants. It took me a few years to realize that some of them may 
have been more fascinated with the naked woman sprawled on the altar than with 
me. The gothic strains of a Hammond organ echoed against the black and red 
walls...I delighted in being the focal point of all this activity. 

My father, the High Priest, raised his ceremonial sword in benediction. I felt a great 
sense of warmth and respect. How many people can honestly say they have this 
feeling at any point in their life? "I have something they don't," I thought proudly, 
in keeping with the indulgent philosophy of Satanism. Since that night I understood 
what it means to be a Satanic Witch, a woman who makes full use of her feminine 
wiles. Throughout my life I would replay the words intoned during my baptism: 

The many footed walkers give you the strength, the power of red fang and claw, cdl the 
madly dancing demons fill you with the lost knowledge of ancient ones. Small sorceress, the 
most natural and true magician, your tiny hands have the power to pull the living heavens 
down and from its shards build a monument to your own sweet indulgence... And with 
these others in the devil's fane, you will so cause the heads of men to reel and spin, you will 
fill them with desire. And so we dedicate your life to love, to passion, to indulgence, and to 
Satan and the way of darkness, fane. Hail Zeena! Heal Satan! 

A Generation Mesmerized 

Recently, countless youth have been brought into Satan's kingdom through movies, TV 
cartoons, video games, comic books, and other means. The Harry Potter witchcraft 
books have initiated many into the darkest elements of hellishness. Occult fantasy 
movies (Star Wars, Jedi, etc.) have erased any conception of absolutes and have 
increasingly brought youth into satanic philosophies. The end result is an entire 
generation mesmerized, all marching in formation through the haze trance-like into a 
21st century existence to be ruled over by Illuminati dignitaries. Never before in history 
have so many been trained and indoctrinated to the tenets of Satanic Illuminism. The 
hidden entity behind the idol Baphomet must be very proud of his newfound slaves.

is a symbolic, yet graphic representation

many other symbols represented as well, 
each packed with malevolent, occult 
content and meaning.

Pan, the horned god of the mountains, forest, streams, and valleys, is almost universally 
worshipped by witches, as the honor bestowed upon him by the title and cover art of this 
recent book indicate. The ivy and holly are his favored vegetation (thus, the ivy-covered 
buildings on the campuses of Harvard, Yale, and other elite establishment colleges and the 
name, Hollywood). Pan, whose father is Hermes, god of secrecy, is often pictured as the Green 
Man, a vegetation-covered deity. The tale of the jolly green giant is a myth begun by his 
admirers. Who, really, is Pan? Well, of course, Pan is simply the Devil in a new disguise.

what the star and longhorn stand for on his cap, nor the

perhaps it has something to do with a Texas state group or

However, from Australia come two reports that the senior

According to this news 
account from The 
Associated Press (April 1 , 
1995), the tomb of 
Alexander the Great was 
found at Siwa, in Egypt. 




Adorers of the Greek conqueror, 
Alexander the Great, attributed 
horns to him. This was thought to 
be emblematic of a person's divine 
power and spiritual acumen. 

Coins bearing Alexander's visage 
were struck picturing the Greek 
military leader as a bull with 
horns and the lit torch in his 
head.

Editors at the newsweekly meant 
to honor the president-elect by put-

it! 

His hair overlaps the high points 
of letters in the Time logo, making it 
appear as though the Democratic

*No, Bill Clinton is not the Anti-

Pondiacio. who has been forced to 



field phone and fax questions about 
whether Clinton is from down in Ar- 
kansas or from Down Under — and 
we don't mean Australia. 

One caller pointed out that Clin- 
ton was the 66th Man of the Year. 
That figure, reflecting a belief that 
666 is satanic, supposedly shows 
“Time is in league with the devil.* 
Pondiacio said he was told. 

For the record, he said, the cover

"El Diablo" Shows His Homs — The Devil 
Rides Out! 



People that are Christians now, but were Satanists, recognized President Clinton 's 
signal at his inauguration as a sign of Satan. That seems fairly cut and dried, and it 
is. Clinton communicated what he wanted to the people to whom he wanted to 
communicate. The whole affair with him flashing the Satanic handsignal took only a 
couple of seconds. 



Fritz Springmeier 
Bloodlines of the Illuminati 



It is being flashed everywhere — on TV, in newspapers and magazines, at 
sporting events, and even at presidential inaugurations. I'm referring, of 
course, to the sign of El Diablo, the horned devil, also known as the sign of 
II Cornuto and as Diabolicus. It began in the modern era with the followers of satanic 
cults, the members of the official Church of Satan, and heavy metal rock music bands 
and fans flourishing the sign of two separated fingers upward sign. The rock bands 
made it popular and trendy, and now it seems almost everyone is doing it. 






Three versions of the "El 
Diablo, " the sign of 
Satan, the homed god. 
The hand sign at right is 
also the deaf s gesture, or 
signing, for "I love you," a 
fact which has many 
people confused. 




120 



CODEX MAGICA 



I Love You, Devil? 

The sign often is confused with the deaf's signing of the phrase, "I love you." While 
at first this appears an odd resemblance, we register an "ahh, I get it!" emotion when 
we discover that the person who invented, or created, the hand sign system for the 
deaf, Helen Keller, was herself an occultist and Theosophist. Did Keller purposely 
design the deaf's "I love you" sign to be such a remarkable imitation of the classic 
sign of Satan? Was Keller saying, basically, "I love you, Devil?" 

Then, we have the confusion of the El Diablo hand sign with the University of 
Texas "hook 'em horns" sign. Texas' mascot is the longhorn cow and it is only natural 
that the horns sign be employed by the student body, alumnai, and fans of that great 
institution. 

When Jenna Bush, the daughter of President George W. Bush, gave the horns sign 
at the 2004 presidential inauguration, it shocked the world. Most viewers of 
international TV did not know that Jenna is a recent graduate of the University of 
Texas. However, at that same inaugural gala, the President also was photographed 
giving the sign, and so was the other Bush daughter. Not only that, but the Hist 
Lady, Laura, and even the President's mother, Barbara Bush, got into the mix. They, 
too, were seen giving the sign. Hmmm. 

Partying, Drinking, Rebellion, Or... ? 

With the rapid rise in popularity of the El Diablo sign among rock fans, many people 
seem to be blissfully unaware of the satanic background and dark history of this sign. 
To some, giving the sign more likely indicates their eagerness and gusto for fun, 
partying, drinking, and youthful rebellion. 

Thus it is that I leave it to you, the reader, to decide which of the persons shown 
here, in this chapter, in rendering the El Diablo sign, are paying homage to Satan and 
which are employing it for some other purpose. I have my own opinion, what's 
yours? For example, in the picture shown here you'll discover former President Bill 
Clinton, from Arkansas, and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi giving the sign. 
Are they telling us they are Texas Longhorns fans or that they love Satan? 

A final word: Even if you and I are willing to overlook the giving of this sign by 
many as not intentionally satanic, we cannot dismiss the evidence that many, if not 
most, who employ the sign are, in fact, thereby honoring Satan, the rebellious dark 
angel. The case here, later in this chapter, of the vampire satanists who stabbed a 
victim 66 times and drank his blood undeniably stamps the El Diablo hand sign 
given by the murderers as intensely satanic in nature. 

Neither can the picture here of the Hindu sect member, the witch, and of Anton 
LaVey, High Priest of Satan, giving the sign also be disputed or explained away. 

As for the photos of the top-ranked Christian evangelists shown in the pages that 
follow, what do you have to say, dear reader? Are these men servants of the One, 
True God as revealed in the Holy Bible, or do they cryptically serve His Adversary, 
Lucifer? Judging from their hand gestures, what do you say?

This photograph of President George W. Bush in Time magazine (June 4, 2001) is curious. It shows 
Bush presenting the horned devil sign. Also, the simultaneous joint use of the circle is evident. 
Nowhere in the article does the author explain why Bush is making this sign or even explain why he 
is dressed in what appears to be college robes. Just as curious, the article, including the caption, 
mentions the word charm, charmed, or charming a grand total of exactly six times. A charm, of 
course, is a magical talisman. The text also includes the eyebrow-raising phrases: "There's something 
funny there" and "something funny..." Yes, indeed, there is something funny and strange at work

raised their right hands in the tradi-

among University of Texas Long- 
horns — as the school's band 
marched in front of the presidential 
reviewing stand Thursday 

But tn Norway and some other

is a cuckold, the victim of an unfaith- 
ful wife In parts of Africa, it is used as

is used to ward off *the evil eye.*

‘Shock greeting from Bush daughter” 
above a photo of Bush's daughter.

according to The Associated Press 

The originator of the *Hook 'em.

all the fuss as about 

"I think 'silly' would be a very kind 
word for it,* said H IC Pitts, 73, who 
was a University of Texas student In I 
1955 when he came up with the hand 
signal "It's much to do about noth-

history at Texas AAM University- 
Kingsville

Yet another article, this one in Fort Worth's Star-Telegram newspaper. The editors insisted that 
the Bushes were only displaying the "Hook 'em Homs" sign common to University of Texas 
Longhorns fans. The article points out that in Africa and Europe, the sign is clearly the devil's 
own. Doesn't it seem odd to you that even Mother Barbara Bush is giving the sign? And, after all, 
neither George nor Laura were ever students at the University of Texas! George was a bonesman 
at New England's preppie school, Yale.

Those who claim that if the thumb is 
diplayed, it is not the "El Diablo" Satan 
hand sign may just want to take a gander at 
the cover of a recently published (2005) 
book by Sondra London entitled True 
Vampires — Blood-Sucking Killers Past and 
Present. Published by Feral House, a book 
company originally founded by Anton 
LaVey, High Priest of the Church of Satan, 
the cover clearly demonstrates that, for 
hard-core Satanists, there is no real 
difference in meaning whether the sign 
includes the thumb or does not. 



Manuela Ruda, 2 i, (shown at left in sun glasses 
giving the "El Diablo" hand sign), and her 
husband, Daniel, 26, a pair of self-proclaimed 
vampire satanists from Germany, sacrificed a 
victim to Satan. The pair ceremoniously stabbed 
the man exactly 66 times with a dagger. Then they 
drank his blood. Some might say that Manueia's 
hand sign is merely the deaf's "/ love you," but the 
couples' grim conduct indicated otherwise. Also 
shown: Manueia's head, shaved to reveal an 
inverted Christian cross. Manuela also had a 
rough-edged, blood red circle tatooed on her scalp. 
The two were trained to be Satan worshippers 
while visiting Scotland. (From news report and 
article in Strange Times magazine, Great Britian)

High priest of the Church of 
Satan, Anton LaVey, was honored 
upon his death in this article in 
the San Francisco Chronicle. In 
the picture, LaVey is giving the "El

wall, is the "Baphomet" version 
of the Satanic pentagram star. 
Was it mere coincidence that on 
the very day that this wicked 
satanist died in California, across

also passed away?

This book , authored

the cover seems to show one person giving the horned 
devil sign and a couple more displaying the F...k You! 
sign (finger in middle of hand upraised) — all at a 
Christian rock concert! Also, lights displayed in three 
triangles are in the background. The triangle has three 
sides. Three plus three equals nine. The number nine 
in occult numerology conceals the number 666, the 
number of the beast, since adding the digits 
6+6+6=18=9. Whether the cover artist and the author 
were aware of these oddities is unknown.

Helen Keller (1880-1968), shown 
here at her desk, creator of the deaf 
signing system. The brilliant Keller 
was a pitiful character in some ways. 
Stricken blind and deaf at an early 
age, she nevertheless went on to 
considerable achievements in life. 
But Helen Keller also got involved in 
occultic sects like Swedenborgianism 
and Theosophy. Did her membership 
in these groups inspire Keller to 
choose a hand sign for the deaf, 
translated as "I love you", which is 
today often used interchangeably 
with the universal "I love (and/or 
worship) Satan" hand sign? 



Helen Keller with Alexander Graham Bell. 

Keller wrote a book, My Religion, in which 
she explained her occult religious views 
and her enthusiasm for the teachings of 
mystic Emmanuel Swedenborg. Was the 
architecture of the deaf signs based on 
Keller's aberrant religious views? 




These UJS. postal stamps depicting the 
deaf's "I love you" sign are shocking, to say 
the least. The inventor of the deaf signing 
system was herself an occultist and devotee 
of Theosophy, the Hindu/occult group 
founded by Russian mystic Helena 
Blavatsky, author of The Secret Doctrine.

Secret Handshakes of the Illuminati 



The secret hand signs of Illuminists are thought to work magic, to evoke 
supernatural beings, and, of course, to communicate messages. For 
example, the higher degree Mason, Rosicrucian, or other Illuminist can 
discern at what ritual level a brother in the Craft is 'at by testing his handshake, or 
grip. It is, therefore, an important mode of recognition. The commonly used phrase, 
"Get a grip," has Masonic origins. 

The handshake, or grip, is a sign of unity, oneness of purpose and allegiance or 
devotion to joint cause. It is considered a bond, or seal, of acknowledgment between 
Illuminist brethren. The Masonic authorities speak of a "mystic tie" or spiritual union. 
Certainly, demon powers do congregate together and enjoy one another's foul 
company. 



The God of Fidelity 

The Illuminist handshake, the clasping or 
joining of hands, can have many meanings. 
Its simplest is as a symbol of fidelity. 
Interestingly, Dr. Cathy Burns, in her 
informative expose, Hidden Secrets of the 
Eastern Star, notes that even at this basic level, 



The instructions issued the candidate of the Entered 
Apprentice, or First Degree, of Freemasonry include 
these given here. Notice that the candidate is asked, 
"How shall I know you to be a Mason?" His answer: 
"By certain signs, a token, a word, and the perfect 
points of my entrance. " Then, when he is asked, 
"What are tokens?, " he replies, "Certain friendly or 
brotherly grips, by which one Mason may know 
another in the dark as well as in the light. " 
(Duncan's Masonic Ritual and Monitor, p. 42)

CODEX MAGICA 



the Illuminist is signifying allegiance to a deity other than the Christian God. Ft 
example, Dr. Burns quotes Albert Mackey, 33°, former Sovereign Grand Commander 
of the Scottish Rite, who admits: 

The right hand has in all ages been deemed an emblem of fidelity, and our ancient 
brethren worshipped Deity under the name of Fides or Fidelity, which was 
sometimes represented by two right hands joined... 

Numa was the first who erected an altar to Fides under which name the Goddess of 
Oaths and Honesty was worshipped. 1 

Burns points out that this reference to the worship of the Roman pagan goddess 
is literally repeated by the initiate in the very first degree of the Masonic ritual. Yet 
the Holy Bible commands: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." (Exodus 20:3) 
and goes on to emphatically state: "Make no mention of the names of other gods, 
neither let it be heard out of thy mouth." (Exodus 23:23) 

In volume 1 of Albert Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, a large section is 
devoted to a discussion of the hand and hand signs. Mackey states: "In Freemasonry, 
the hand as a symbol holds a high place... The same symbol is found in the most 
ancient religions and some of their analogies to Masonic symbolism are peculiar." 

Mackey revealingly says that the hand is deemed important "as that symbol of 
mystical intelligence by which one Mason knows another in the dark as well as in the 
light." 

He goes on to discuss the use of the hand in such ancient Mystery Religions as 
Mithraism and in worship of the Sumerian, Assyrian, and Babylonian gods. He notes 
that the tradition of the red seal attached to important documents is a throwback to 
the ancient use of the bloody hand as a way of authenticating documents. 

Examples of Grips and Handshakes 

I have included in this section of Codex Magica drawings of a number of Masonic 
handshakes taken from official Masonic publications and from other objective 
sources. In addition to Freemasonry, there are scores of Illuminati secret societies and 
many have their own unique handgrips and signs. Moreover, the Mormon Church, 
the Sufi Muslim Brotherhood, and even the notorious Mafia have their own 
identifying handgrips and signs. In the pages that follow in this chapter, you'll see a 
large number of well-known persons sharing handgrips and handshakes that clearly 
are Masonic and Illuminist. 

Subject to Interpretation 

It is true that a handshake can be a questionable thing in its interpretation. All of us 
have attempted handshakes when greeting old friends and meeting new 
acquaintances. Sometimes your hand and theirs do not quite meet and clasp as you 
and they intended. It might be the fit of the hands due to the relative difference in 
size of each person's hands; or perhaps the distance between the two persons' bodies, 




SECRET HANDSHAKES OF THE ILLUMINATI

causing a longer or shorter reach; or some other factor (Maybe the individual is short 
or tall, is just not good at shaking hands, etc.) 

I have done my best to take all these uncontrollable factors into consideration 
heie and I include only what I believe to be indisputable Masonic and Illuminist 
handshakes, tokens, and grips. Naturally, one must especially consider who is 
shaking whose hand — and whether the person is known to be an Illuminist, a Mason, 
a Rosicmcian, an O.T.O. adept, or so forth. With these caveats in mind, let us take a 
look at the secret handshakes of the Illuminati. But first this brief article by 
Christopher Story. 



(NOTE: The following article by Englishman Christopher Story was originally 
published in the Economic Intelligence Review, (Westminster, England) and was 
reprinted in Des Griffin's Midnight Messenger (May/June 2004). It is reprinted here 
lor the reader's interest.) 

Handshake Diplomacy: An Outbreak of the "Grips" 

"They are out of the gate, and nothing will stop them." This description, by one of 
the sharpest of our informants, with the hectic pace associated with the imposition of 
the New Underworld Order, sums up the way the world is being turned upside 
down "as we speak." That's why the press is publishing all these "grips." And the 
newspaper editors have shown themselves to be only too willing to oblige. A huge 
photograph showed Tony Blair, our Fabian revolutionary Prime Minister, shaking 
hands with Adrian Nastase, the son of Illie, a leading Communist who "survived" 
the fall of Ceausescu. The Romanian Prime Minister is shown doing a five-knuckle 
grip (five-point degree), indicating to those whom Lenin called "the interested" that 
he's "a member of the club." Masons call their handshakes "grips" — hence the 
saying, "Get a grip." 

Let's "get a grip" with what's going on here. All of a sudden, newspapers on both 
sides of the Atlantic have taken to publishing large photos of our "chosen ones" 
indulging in various manifestations of Masonic "grips." There was that Kerry- 
Clinton handshake published in The Washington Times in March. 

In that instance, Clinton was demonstrating, for those "in the know," just who 
was boss, and how high up in the geomasonic stratosphere he is (right at the top). 
The "grip" in question was a Ma-Ha-Bone Lion's Paw Grip, which leaves the junior 
party in no doubt who's in charge (and in pain as a consequence). 

On 26th March, British newspapers carried an enormous picture of Tony Blair's 
"grip moment" with Libyan dictator, Muammar Qadhaffi. Before proceeding, it 
needs to be said that these close-ups of Qadhaffi's face reveal this man to be 
burdened with the most evil physiognomies on record — far nastier than those of 
Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein combined: in fact Saddam looks quite benevolent

For his part, Blair looked extremely uneasy, his eyes watery, and his faced tensed 
up after what may have been some unspeakable encounter or other about which the 
record is silent (worse case scenario). Beneath the main picture, The Times had taken 
the trouble to provide us with three smaller close-ups of the "grip moment"-the 
newspaper's management being clearly signed up, in advance, to the significance of 
these New Underworld Order handshakes. 

Our expert geomasonic handshake analyst writes that "the Blair-Qadhaffi 
handshake is a Shibboleth Grip which denotes fellowship and total agreement. The 
purpose of these photographs is to tell fellow Masons that these two are 'one.'" 
Beneath the photograph was a caption containing the following odd language: 

"Clearly he (Blair) has not read Emily Post, the doyenne of 20th Century etiquette. 
"The proper handshake,' she wrote, 'is made briefly. ..and one should look into the 
countenance of the person whose hand one takes' (Blair was looking at the camera 
instead of course). But more to the point, this gratuitous reference to Emily Post was 
intended, our U.S. based expert writes, 'to show compatibility with the USA Scottish 
Rite. The palmetto in the background (there was a garish green wallpaper behind the 
pair — Ed.) reminds me of the State Flag of South Carolina (Charleston, on the 33rd 
parallel is the headquarters of the US Scottish Rite masonry — Ed.), and also relates to 
the prominence of the Middle East in all things occult." 

On the same day (i.e., the photo research had been done well in advance), The 
Independent newspaper carried a double spread entitled: "PLEASED TO MEET YOU: 
THE HISTORIC HANDSHAKES THAT SHOOK THE WORLD." It showed the 
following geomasonic grips: Gerry Adams and Clinton, 12th December 1995: 
Shibboleth; Kim Jong-11 and Kim Dae-Jung (of the two Koreas), 12th December 2000 
(Ma-Ha-Bone Grip (master masons); Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin, with top 
Mason Clinton looking on, 13th September 1993: Ma-Ha-Bone Grip (Lion's Paw, 
master mason; Pervez Musharraf and Atal Vajpayee, 6th January 2002: Shibboleth 
Grip ("friendship"); and most revealing of all Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, 
meeting for the first time in Versoix, Switzerland, 9th November 1985. In this picture, 
Reagan is shown gripping with the Supreme Master Grip with a pronounced Ma-Ha- 
Bone Lion's Paw. Gorbachev attempts the same but Reagan won't allow the same 
grip. This shows that Reagan demanded (and kept) the "upper hand."

A Show of Hands — Illuminists Employ 
the Grand Hailing Sign and the Sign of 
Admiration or Astonishment 



It all depends on what is is. 

— President Bill Clinton, in answer to a 
question by the Special Prosecutor 



A rose by any other name is still a rose. 

-Old Proverb 



In Richardson's Monitor of Freemasonry, an authoritative reference 
sourcebook, we are told that in the ritual for the Masonic degree of Most 
Excellent Master of the Royal Arch Mason, all present are required to give 
a "Sign of Admiration or Astonishment. " It is explained that this sign is similar to that 
gesture expressed by the illustrious Queen of Sheba on her first viewing the fabulous 
edifice of Solomon's Temple . 1 

In Duncan's Masonic Monitor and Guide the group present for that same degree 
ceremony is further told that this sign alludes to "the wonder and admiration of our 
ancient brethren who were present to view the interior of that magnificent edifice 
(Solomon's Temple) which King Solomon had erected, and was about to dedicate to 
the service of the Supreme Being ." 2 

The arms raised with the palms of the hands facing forward is a supplicatory 
gesture, meaning passive acceptance, surrender, or an appeal for mercy. Caesar, in 




178 



CODEX MAGICA 



his Gaelic Wars, noted the use of this sign by Gaelic women, who apparently were 
signaling subjection to, or acceptance of, their Roman conquerors. 

A single hand raised with palm outward represents a hand to heaven 
acknowledging the gifts or help received from extraterrestrial sources. It can also 
mean invocation, the calling down of powers or energy from the heavens or firm 
ethereal sources (hell). Yet another meaning is that the hand with all five fingers 
showing, palm outward, indicates that one is giving honor and admiration to the 
Underworld Deity. Its essential meaning: "Thank you O Subterranean Lord for your 
deceptive wisdom and for your cunning aid in our struggle to overcome our enemies 
and to effect the Great Work." 




Pharaoh Ramses paying homage to 
the god Horns, son of Osiris, the sun 
god deity symbolized as the all- 
seeing eye in the capstone on the 
U.SA.'s dollar bill. Quite possibly, 
the Masons' Sign of Admiration and 
Astonishment came from practices of 
adherents to the old Mystery 
Religions of Babylon and Egypt 
(From book. Other Worlds, Hilary 
Evans, Readers Digest Books, 1998) 



On all occasions when the Egyptian high priest was called to 
officiate, he wore his robe of office, the spotted leopard's skin. 
The priest then led the rituals in worship of the "Hidden One," 
the concealed mystery divinity, known esoterically as Saturn, 
the sixth planet from the sun. Here we see the priest, attired in 
leopard's skin, hands upraised, palms outward, exactly as is 
done in various Masonic, Rosicrucian, witchcraft, Thelemic, and 
O.T.O. rituals to this day. (Hislop's, The Two Babylons, p. 45) 







A SHOW OF HANDS 



179 



As we shall see in this chapter of Codex Magica, this sign has been displayed in 
public media by Presidents, presidential candidates, Prime Ministers, and many 
other VIPs throughout history including the Emperor of France, the Freemason 
Napoleon Bonaparte. 

Clinton the Devil, President of the U.S.A. 

President Bill Clinton was named Time magazine "Man of the Year" in 1993. On the 
Time cover making the announcement, President Clinton's head was pictured with 
the "M" in the Time masthead of the magazine stretched and appearing to be two 
horns on Clinton's head. Were the magazine's editors telling us that Clinton is the 
devils' man, or was it some strange coincidence? 

Even more weird and dramatic, inside that same issue was a photo of Clinton in 
his Oval Office holding his hands and arms in the Masonic display of the sign of 
admiration. Now, get this: carved on the President's desk in the Oval Offices directly 
in front of Clinton is the eagle, in the presidential seal or logo, with its face turned to 
the left. But on the carpet just in front of the desk one finds the presidential seal facing 
toward the right: Two eagles, each facing in the opposite direction. 

This is clearly the double-headed eagle of Freemasonry, a symbol representing 
the Serpent, honored as the Sun God in the Mystery Religions with its eagle-like, all- 
seeing eye. In other words: Lucifer! Solar God of Bill Clinton and the Illuminati. 

Meanwhile, in Clinton's left hand (see page 183 of Codex Magica) is a rose — sign 
of the Illuminati's blood covenant and the Rosicrucian Order. You will also find here 
a photo of former Yugoslav Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic, likewise holding a rose 
in his hand, the right hand. In Satanism the left-handed path is the most magical and 
powerful, but more evil. Clinton (left-hand) is still today recognized by the world as 
a great leader. Milosevic (right-hand) is in disgrace, in a prison cell, after being felled 
by Clinton and his Illuminati cohorts, proving that it's not nice to attempt to 
doublecross your Illuminati overlords, Mr. Milosevic! 

In this chapter you will find not only Bill Clinton, Slobodan Milosevic, lohn 
Kerry, and others giving enigmatic ritual messages, but, also, we will examine other 
signs in which the Illuminati signal with the arms and either or both hands. 

The Grand Hailing Sign of Distress 

One classic Masonic pose, duplicated by or similar to that employed in many other 
Orders, is the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress. Theoretically, this is used in extreme 
circumstances in which a Mason or other elitist finds himself in a crisis or in a bind. 
In such an emergency he gives the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress, sometimes called 
the "High Sign." At that point, brethren who recognize the secret sign of alarm are 
expected to come to his rescue. Comically, mass murderer Charles Manson was 
observed giving this sign and a number of others during his trial for conspiracy to 
commit murder. Reportedly, Manson believed the judge in his case was a 33° Mason 
and would rescue him. It was all to no avail. 

Likewise, Mormon Church founder loseph Smith gave this sign while under 
siege of a lynch mob at the Nauvoo, Illinois jail where he had been incarcerated. 




180 



CODEX MAGICA 



Smith knew that the angry mob was comprised mainly of Freemasons because he, 
too, had been one of them until he was excommunicated. The Masons didn't take too 
kindly to Masonic Brother Smith's stealing their symbols and ceremonies and 
incorporating them into his Mormon (LDS) Church rituals. 4 

As Joseph Smith lay dying on the jailhouse floor, he cried out, "Is there no help 
for the Widow's Son?" This is the enigmatic saying taught Masons, stamping Smith 
as a follower of the Great Goddess, patroness of the Masonic fraternity. The Bible in 
Revelation 27 refers to her as "Mystery, Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots." 

John J. Robinson, author of a celebrated book, Born in Blood defending 
Freemasonry and blasting its critics, also referenced the Grand Hailing Sign of 
Distress sign taught in the 3° ritual: 

After brief ceremonies, the blindfold is removed, and the newly sworn Master 
Mason is taught several secrets of that degree. He learns the penal sign, the hand 
signal based on the penalty of the Master Mason's oath, which is to pass the hand in 
a slashing motion, palm downward and thumb toward the body, across his 
stomach. The due-guard of the Master Mason repeats the position of his hands on 
the Holy Bible and the compass and square as he takes the oath: with his upper 
arms along his sides, forearms out straight, with palms down. 

To this point, the ceremony is much like that of the first two degrees, but now is 
added a third sign, the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress of the Master Mason, given 
with the upper arms parallel to the ground, forearms vertical with hands above the 
head, palms forward. For those times when the Master Mason is out of sight of 
possible help, or in the dark, he is taught to summon assistance with the word, "O 
Lord, my God, is there no help for a Son of the Widow?" a reference to Hiram, 
legendary master craftsman at the building of the Temple of Solomon, about whom 
the initiate has yet been told nothing, and whom Masons identify with the 
metalworker that scripture describes as "a son of a widow of Naphtali." 5 

Note that Robinson makes mention of the "penal sign, the hand signal based on 
the penalty of the Master Mason's oath." In Codex Magica, you will see several 
examples of this signal, including a photo of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and one of 
former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. 

In his book Freemasonry, Jack Harris, a former Master Mason who renounced the 
Order after converting to Christianity, quotes at length the ritual according to the 
State of Maryland's Masonic Manual. 6 That manual assures the Mason that at his 
death, if his good works are sufficient, "a kind messenger from the Supreme Grand 
Master will be sent to translate us to that all perfect, glorious and celestial lodge 
above, where the Supreme Architect of the Universe presides." 

According to Harris the ritual continues as follows: 

All officers and members bow toward the East. The Master raps the lodge down ( 1 
rap). Also explained to the brother in the third degree lecture is what he is to do in 
times of peril or danger. He is instructed (if he can be seen) to throw up both arms 
over his head and let them fall by three distinct motions. This is the great hailing 




A SHOW OF HANDS

sign or sign of distress, and never should be given except in a lodge for instruction, 
or if his life is in danger. If a Mason sees this sign, he is to flee to his rescue if there 
is more probability of saving the brother's life than of losing his own. 



At times when this sign could not be seen, such as in the dark, a spoken signal is 
substituted: "O Lord, My God, is there no help for the widow's son?" A Mason hearing 
these words would be equally bound to flee to the brother's rescue if there were 
more probability of saving his life than losing his own life . 7

Newly elected President Bill Clinton holds out his arms in the Masonic gesture of

In this celebrated painting, The Battle of the Pyramids, by Baron Antoine Jean Gros, Napoleon is 
shown presenting the Masonic and Rosicrucian sign of astonishment or admiration at the sight of 
the marvelous sight of the pyramids of Giza. From written historical accounts, we know that the 
French Emperor did, indeed, experience feelings of amazement and admiration upon viewing the

"I Gruesomely Swear That I'm On the 
Square" — More Revealing Signs of 
Illuminati Cultists 



A number of hand signs are used by Illuminist to indicate their 
allegiance to their Order and to demonstrate their knowledge that to 
divulge its secrets shall bring gruesome and swift, perhaps fatal 

retribution. 

When President Richard M. Nixon resigned the office of the presidency on 
August 9,1974, he signaled the Dueguard and Sign of a Royal Arch Mason. As the Nixon 
audiotapes since released by the Nixon presidential library clearly show, Nixon and 
his "Prussian Guard," White House Chief of Staff Robert Haldemann and top aide 
John Erlichman, plotted to thwart the power of the Jewish Illuminati media that 
poisons the mind of America. They also conspired to overthrow the elaborate FBI and 
intelligence network historically run behind the scenes by the Jewish-led Illuminati 
chieftains. 

Nixon knew what he was risking. He well knew that John F. Kennedy's murder 
was orchestrated by the Jewish Illuminati with the backing of Zionist Vice President 
Lyndon B. Johnson and with the connivance of J. Edgar Hoover's Mafia-infiltrated 
FBI and the Skull & Bones-run CIA. Nixon had been a close associate of David 
Rockefeller and had met privately with the Rothschilds a number of times. Nixon 
also had attended the notorious homoerotic occultic rituals of the Bohemian Club 
outside San Francisco. Still, as President, he had hoped to mount an offensive against 
the elite and dislodge them from their position of awesome power in the United 
States. 

Instead, it was Nixon and his entourage who were dislodged, falling from grace 
and being ousted, even though Nixon's so-called crimes ("Watergate," etc.) were 
paltry compared to the colossal criminal treachery of predecessors like Wilson and 
Roosevelt, and successors like Clinton and both Bushes. 

Captain William Morgan, in the nineteenth century, suffered a worse fate, being

by this outrage, John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States, in his 
classic exposure of the Masonic murderers ( Letters on Freemasonry), minced no bones 
in declaring the Freemasons as "Luciferian" and as a grave threat to America. 

In this section, we examine a few of penal (penalty) signs and also signs given to 
communicate the message, "on the square, " a phrase made common in the American 
lexicon by its frequent usage by Masons. Along the way, we shall note the Illuminist 
involvement of such infamous fo lk s as the Russian mystic and master seducer, 
Grigore Rasputin, former U.S.A. President Jimmy "Peanut" Carter, Cuban 
strongman Fidel "Odd Fellow" Castro, and Master Mason and Illuminist thug 
extraordinaire, Joseph Stalin, the half-Jew who massacred some 50-60 mil li on 
innocents while heading up the Illuminati's experimental Bolshevik regime. And 
we'll also take a brief look at a hand sign of Illuminist A1 Gore, some Confederate 
officers into Masonic skullduggery, Timothy McVeigh's rancid "F...you" signal, and 
a few other choice hand poses of elite servants. 



"Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong — essentially 
wrong — a seed of evil, which can never produce any good. " 

— John Quincy Adams 




John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United 
States, was a determined opponent of the secret 
society and fraternity of Freemasonry, the Masonic 
Lodge. The question of Freemasonry and the 
controversy over its character has long been 
debated. But for John Qunicy Adams, writer, poet, 
faithful husband, patriot, former Ambassador and 
Secretary of State, and President, there was no 
question. The teachings and practices of the Lodge, 
Adams asserted, are detrimental, noxious, and 
unfortunate. John Quincy Adams was persuaded 
that the Masonic Lodges were a bane to society, 
evil, and Luciferian. 

This unusual book, Letters on Freemasonry, first 
published in 1833, is finally back in print. Until 
now, it was virtually impossible for the general 
public to obtain a copy. It is now available for $22

THE LIGHT OF 

KRISHNAMURTI 

By Gabriele Blackburn 



The Light of Krishnamurti relates 
the many-faceted mystical and 
spiritual occurrences of J. Krish- 
namurti as experienced by Gabriele 
Blackburn, a spiritual healer and 
clairvoyant. This is the story of the 
author's life in relationship to these 
events, their extraordinaiy meaning, 
and the profound effect they had on 
her. In a simple, direct, factual 
manner, she tells how his friendship, 
personal interviews, and the under- 
standing of his teachings, helped her to 
resolve a life crisis, and discover an 
insightful way of living. This book 
voices the quality of the clear Light of 
truth which casts no shadow. It is a 
personal testimony to the sacred life 
and teachings of Krishnamurti, that 
Gold Light of eternity. 



An advertisement for a biography of 
India's Theosophy guru, Krishnamurti. 
Occultist Annie Besant, who took over 
as leader of Theosophy after the death 
of its founder, once touted 
Krishnamurti as the "Christ of the 
New Age." The guru's pose here shows 
he's "on the square" and honors the 
trifold deity of Illuminist sects. 




This man, in 1994, participated in the brutal, 
genocidal massacre of 3,000 Tutsi tribes people 
who sought refuge in a church in Rwanda, Africa. 
In this news article (Austin American-Statesman, 
April 11, 2004), he says he is repentant and is 
rehabilitated. The cultic positioning of his arms 
and clenched fist say otherwise.

A somber Richard Nixon, having just resigned the high office of President, 
waves goodbye from his helicopter. August 9. 1974. Few people, 
understood that the defeated ex President was actually signaling the 
Dueguard and Sign of a Royal Arch Mason (7th degree). The film of this 
historic event shows Nixon stiffly raising his right hand to his forehead, the 
hand and arm horizontal, the thumb toward the forehead. He then dropped 
it perpendicularly by his side, turned and entered the aircraft. This exactly 
fits the description given of the Royal An ti Dueganl anil Sign in Human s 
Masonic Ritual and Monitor, trd Edition. Crown Publishers, p. 2SI (see 
figure 16). According to Masonic teachings, the brother who descends into 
the "vault” and discovers deep secrets and then reveals them to the profane 
(that is. to outsiders) or who turns against the Order and/or his Masonic 
superiors, must be duly punished for his transgressions. He must receive 
the penalty due him. Richard M. Nixon was favored by the Illuminati, 
gained access to their innermost secrets, and then threatened to expose 
them. Swift punishment followed.

that a predominantly 
Jewish group of doctors 
was arrested for conspir-

touched off a wave ol antisemitic attacks, including dismissals from 
key economic, cultural, and academic posts. It remains unclear 
where that anti-Jewish effort would have led had Stalin not died six 
weeks after its publication. Some scholan contend the Soviet dictator 
was serious about deporting some two million Jews from the western 
USSR to Siberia. On April 4, 19S3, one month after Stalin’s death,

Former Vice President A1 Gore, who 
ran for the presidency on the 
Democrat Party ticket in 2000, 
appears to be in the process of 
making the Master’s Grip of the 
3rd degree of Freemasonry, 
indicating he is, as a minimum, a 
Master Mason. (Photo: from 
Exodus HI, Volume 2, Number 1) 
Note: A sign similar to that of the 
Master’s Grip is that of the Most 
Excellent Master as illustrated on 
p. 61 of Richardson’s Monitor of 
Freemasonry.

Mormon (LDS) woman gives a sign in a LDS Church ritual 
ceremony. It is exactly the same as that of Freemasonry, as 
proven by this excerpt from page 17 of Duncan's Masonic Ritual 
and Monitor, illustrating the sign of an Entered Apprentice. 
Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church, borrowed many 
of his church's signs, grips, symbols, and rituals from the 
Masonic Lodge. In fact, Smith was excommunicated by the 
Masons for having done so. (Photo of Mormon woman is from 
Mormonism, Masonry and Godhood, by Dr. Cathy Burns, 
Sharing Publishing, Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania)

The Confederate officer on the left is First Lt. John Oden, of the Tenth Alabama 
Volunteer Infantry who fought at First Manassas, Chanceilorsville and Antietam. 
where he was seriously wounded. Lying bleeding. Oden used a stick and his own 
blood to draw masonic symbols on a paper. Then he called out to the Union 
troops on picket duty to take the paper to any Yankee who was a Freemason. 

It was carried to a Union Colonel who was a mason, but not of a high enough 
degree to comprehend Oden's symbolic message. Another mason, Union Capt. 
Perry was summoned and he recognized the drawings and announced that a fellow 
mason was in distress. Four Northern masons crept out to the field, placed the 
wounded Southerner on a cot and carried him to the field hospital of the 5th New 
Hampshire Volunteer Infantry where he was treated. When the Union Army moved 
on, Oden was sent to the private home of a physician to recuperate, rather than to 
a prisoner of war camp. Lt. Oden survived the War Between the States.
