John Dee: Scholar, Astrologer, and Occult Practitioner that Captivated the Royal Court of 16th Century England

by Ryan Stone

Born into the era of intellectual and artistic reawakening, John Dee quickly rose through Elizabethan society as a scholar, philosopher, navigator, doctor, and astrologer of the Queen of England. Fascinated in so many fields, including a deep fascination with the occult, his vast interests resulted in his unintentional creation of the largest personal library in Elizabethan England at the time, visited by renowned scholars from all over the world. Luckily for modern historians, Dee was a prolific enough writer that his life is well documented, however the way in which he was tasked with so many important roles in the British court is still an incredible dilemma.

John Dee sets sights on the Royal Court

Though Dee wore many hats during his lifetime, he made astounding waves in each field. He was a skilled student at St. John's College, so much so that after obtaining both a bachelor's degree and a master's from the university, Dee set his sights on working directly in the Royal Court under Queen Mary I.

His relationship with the royal court, however, turned tumultuous as he became more interested in mathematics and astrology. Queen Mary I had him arrested in 1555 for "calculating", as mathematics and magic were considered close cousins in this time. The charges were of treason and he was imprisoned for a period, until finally exonerated by Bishop Edmund Bonner.

Astrological advisor of Queen Elizabeth I

Dee rose once again in the favor of the court when Elizabeth I became queen in 1558 — three years after Dee's arrest. She took him on as her astrological advisor, allowing him the prestigious task of choosing the exact date of her coronation. After, he was given numerous important court duties, such as aiding in Elizabeth's exploration ambitions.

Rarely discussed in references of the New World, Dee actually helped pioneer the Voyages of Exploration England took on in the sixteenth century, aiding the various ship captains in their mathematical techniques of navigation. It was he who provided the instruments used to navigate the waters, himself being somewhat of a professional in the art of navigation. Driven by a mutual desire to reestablish the great British Empire, Dee and Queen Elizabeth I worked tirelessly in the exploration of North America. By 1583, however, he had given up his work as a navigation specialist, and chose instead to focus on his research into the forces of nature and the supernatural forces of the universe.

The language of angels

What John Dee was most known for was his work in attempting to commune with the spiritual world, particularly heavenly angels. This work was preceded by endeavors at understanding the unifying factor of nature, which he believed could be discovered through a combination of magical and mathematical means.

Dee wrote his first astrological book called Monas Heiroglyphica in which he discusses the various facets of the symbol he created to represent the cosmos.

Collaboration with psychic medium

This text drew heavily on Christian Cabbalism, and was greatly coveted during his lifetime. However, Dee's struggle to find a prestigious patron was an uphill battle, and eventually he tired of this work on the cosmos. It is then that Dee began to focus his efforts more seriously on his angelic search, eventually joining forces with a medium called Edward Kelley, a man twenty-eight years younger than him, to conduct séances to interact with the angels. Through their continued meetings, Dee and Kelley claim to have been given the gift of a new alphabet, said to have been revealed to them by angels. They called the language ‘Angelic’ and later it became known as ‘Enochian’.

John Dee claims to have the gift of alchemy

Less than a decade after meeting, however, Kelley and Dee's interests began to drift once more. Kelley himself claimed that he was also gifted in alchemy and could turn ordinary metals into gold. As such, Kelley continued to work with Dee as his scryer, but focused much more of his time on an attempt to transform substances and find the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

John Dee: The final years

The seven years they spent together, leading nomadic lives and working endlessly on their newfound alphabet, came to an abrupt end in 1589, when Kelley returned to the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II and Dee went home to England. Dee outlived his former friend by many years, and continued their work, immortalizing them both with his Angelical/Enochian literature.

Over time, Dee's work in the occult became more heavily criticized and, after parting ways with Kelley in 1589, he became Warden of Christ's College in Manchester, England. He died a poor man's death in 1608, having fallen out of favor with Elizabeth I's successor James VI/I.

Yet regardless of the way his life ended, John Dee was considered somewhat of a wizard in Elizabethan circles. Even with so few followers of his angelic endeavors, his work evolved into a modern magical and religious practice that continues to be utilized by occult organizations around the world.

Enochian: The Mysterious Lost Language of Angels

by Bryan Hill

In the year 1581, occultists John Dee and Edward Kelley claimed to have received communications from angels, who provided them with the foundations of a language with which to communicate with ‘the other side’. This ‘angelic’ language contained its own alphabet, grammar and syntax, which they wrote down in journals. The new language was called "Enochian" and comes from John Dee's assertion that the Biblical Patriarch Enoch had been the last human to know the language.

Dr. John Dee, 1527-1609, was an occultist, mathematician, astronomer and astrologer who lived in Mort Lake, West London for most of his life. An educated man who studied at St. John’s College in Cambridge, was eventually accepted into influential circles of the ruling elite and acted as scientific advisor and confidant to Queen Elizabeth I. He is associated with coining the phrase ‘British Empire’. During the early part of his life, Dee had little interest in the supernatural. Later on, he became disillusioned with science and began experimenting with the occult. Dee was looking to discover lost spiritual knowledge and recover the wisdom he believed was hidden in books of antiquity. Among these books was the then-fabled Book of Enoch, which he conceived as being a book describing the magic system used by the Patriarch in the Bible.

The term Enochian comes from the Biblical figure Enoch, who was a source of hidden mystical knowledge and was taken up to heaven. According to Genesis 5:24, he “walked with God” and Hebrews 11:5 states that he “was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death.”

From 1581 to 1585, Dee began performing a long series of magical events. In 1581, at the age of 54, Dee wrote in his personal journal that God had sent “Good Angels” to communicate directly with mankind. By 1582, he was collaborating with fellow occultist and seer Edward Kelley (1555–1597) to communicate with these angels. Hundreds of spirit conversations were recorded, including what they claimed was an angelic language called Enochian, composed of non-English letters. The Enochian Alphabet was revealed to Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley during “scrying sessions”, when various texts and tables were received from angels. Scrying is a technique used by seers, psychics, and sorcerers to foretell the future and involves gazing into a reflective surface to receive messages.

It is documented that Dee and Kelley used certain objects such as a black obsidian mirror and a crystal ball to experience these visions. Dee acted as orator, directing prayers to God and the Archangels for 15 minutes to an hour. Then a scrying stone was placed on a table, and the angels were called to manifest themselves. Dee and Kelly would watch the stone and record everything they saw and heard. They were told by the angels that the magic would give superhuman powers to its practitioners, change the political structure of Europe, and herald the coming of the Apocalypse.

Dee believed that what he was doing would be of benefit to posterity and documented the information into a series of manuscripts and workbooks. He never described the language used during the sessions as “Enochian” but preferred to call it “Angelical,” the “Celestial Speech,” the “First Language of God-Christ,” and particularly “Adamical,” because he asserted it was used by Adam in the Garden of Eden to name all of God’s creatures.

There are two different versions of the Enochian Alphabet with one script slightly different from other. The first version is found in Dee’s Manuscript, the first five Books of the Mysteries, and the second, and generally more accepted version, is in Liber Loagaeth, the latter being Kelley’s original drawings.

The script is written from right to left, and may include accents. The Enochian letters have English letter equivalents with some of the letter names pronounced as they would be in English, but many are pronounced differently. The alphabet is used in the practice of Enochian Magic on Angelical or Enochian Keys. They were received through Edward Kelley in 1584, in Krakow, Poland. That year he wrote into his diaries a series of nineteen magical incantations. The Keys comprise 48 poetic verses and correspond to various functions within the Enochian Magic system. They are given in the original Enochian Language, and a Modern English Translation, based on John Dee’s Old English versions.

Due to the loss of parts of John Dee’s original manuscripts, interpretations have arisen regarding the meaning, validity, and authenticity behind the Enochian language. Some magicians have asserted it is the oldest language in the world, predating all other human languages. In some circles it is considered among the most powerful strains of magic and is a method of contacting intelligences from other dimensions. Detractors have pointed out that the syntax of Enochian bears a strong resemblance to English, Dee and Kelley’s natural language. Such similarities include the word luciftias, a term meaning “brightness,” which bears a connection to Lucifer, whose name means Light Bringer.” Londoh, the Enochian word for kingdom, might just represent Dee’s connection to his royal patron, the Queen of England. Computer analysis have also shown Enochian to have a grammatical relationship to English. Texts in the Liber Loagaeth demonstrate phonetic features that do not appear in natural languages. The phonetic features are associated more with glossolalia, or speaking in tongues.

Modern day occultists have found it difficult to reconstruct the Enochian system, although progress has been made by studying the original manuscripts found in Sir Hans Sloane collection. From these studies, various groups and authors have created a functional system of magic.

The Enochian language was picked up and popularized by occultists, such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, Israel Regardie and Anton LaVey, founder of the church of Satan. Many Satanists have even included Enochian Keys in their rituals, some adopting the entire language for use. The Enochian language was also studied by U.S. rocket scientist Jack Parson of the O.T.O.

In 1994 the Enochian letters were used as glyphs to operate the arc angle in the film 'Stargate', one year before the US remote viewing program, 'Stargate', was made public. Another aspect of modern Enochian magic is Enochian chess. It is both a game and a divination tool, derived from the original tablets of John Dee. It is a complex system that requires a strong foundation in the study of the Qabalah, Geomancy, Tarot, Alchemy, and Astrology. Many of the original items used by Dee and Kelley can be found in the British Museum in London, England.

The Book of Abramelin the Mage, Esoteric Grimoire of Kabbalistic Knowledge

Western esoteric thought has its roots in the Late Antique period in the Eastern Mediterranean. This was an area of the world where east met west. Consequently, this was also an area where the religions and intellectual traditions of Babylon, Persia, Egypt, the Levant and Greece were able to intermingle with each other. Through the mingling of these various traditions, schools of esoteric thought distinct from mainstream Christianity, such as Hermeticism, Gnosticism and Neoplatonism, were born. Texts expounding esoteric teaching were written, and these schools of thoughts spread westwards into Europe. In the 14^th and 15^th centuries, an esoteric grimoire, known as The Book of Abramelin the Mage was written.

The Book of Abramelin the Mage was written as an epistolary novel or autobiography of a person known as Abraham of Worms. Abraham was a German Jew believed to have lived between the 14^th and 15^th centuries. The Book of Abramelin the Mage involves the passing of Abraham’s magical and Kabbalistic knowledge to his son, Lamech, and relates the story of how he first acquired such knowledge.

Abraham begins his narration with the death of his father, who gave him ‘signs and instructions concerning the way in which it is necessary to acquire the Holy Qabalah’ shortly before his death. Desiring to acquire this wisdom, Abraham said he travelled to Mayence (Mainz) to study under a Rabbi, called Moses, who was well-versed in such studies. Abraham studied under this Rabbi for four years. Abraham commented in retrospect that the teachings of his previous Rabbi were filled with errors, as they contained the ‘arts and superstitions of infidel and idolatrous nations’. Feeling that he was wasting his time with the Rabbi, Abraham travelled for the next six years of his life, eventually reaching Egypt.

It was in Egypt that Abraham met Abramelin the Mage, an Egyptian mage who was living in the desert outside an Egyptian town called Arachi or Araki. His house was reported to be situated on top of a hill which was surrounded by trees. Abramelin is described as a ‘venerable aged man’, who was courteous and kind. During Abraham’s stay with Abramelin, the mage spoke of nothing other than the “Fear of God”, urged Abraham to lead a “well-regulated life”, warned about “certain errors which man commits through human frailty”, and made Abraham understand that he detested “the acquisition of riches and goods ...through so severe usury exacted from, and harm wrought to, our neighbor”.

Abramelin is said to have then taught Abraham his Kabbalistic magic. Before that, however, Abraham was required to promise to change his manner of life, give up his false dogmas, and live in the Way and Law of the Lord. Having obtained this promise from Abraham, Abramelin then gave him two manuscripts to copy from. Abramelin also asked Abraham for ten gold florins, so that he could distribute them to 72 poor persons in the town. Leaving Abraham to copy the two manuscripts, Abramelin left to distribute the money, returning only 15 days later. The next morning, it is written that Abramelin instructed Abraham to make a ‘confession of his life onto the lord’, and to promise to ‘serve and fear the lord’, as well as to ‘live and die in his most holy law’.

It is through the two manuscripts that Abramelin passed his Kabbalistic knowledge to Abraham, and forms a large section of The Book of Abramelin the Mage. One of the highlights of this grimoire is an elaborate ritual known as the ‘Abramelin Operation’. The proper performance of this ritual is said to enable a mage to gain the ‘knowledge and conversation’ of his/her ‘guardian angel’. Furthermore, the ritual is said to also allow the mage to blind demons. Another section of the grimoire is about ‘magic word squares’, in which each square would contain words or names relating to the magical goal of the square.

The legacy of the writing is far reaching. Due to the English translation of The Book of Abramelin the Mage by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, this system of Kabbalistic magic became quite popular during the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Its popularity can be seen in its use in occult organizations such as Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley’s mystical system of Thelema.

The Language of Light

by Sonya van Gelder

With many ancient sites and artifacts being uncovered around the globe and the assistance of our modern day computer era and internet, it has become increasingly apparent, how many similarities arise, when researching ancient texts and symbols, raising the question of its origins and original meanings?

Throughout the world ancient texts and symbols in the form of rock carvings, hieroglyphs, petroglyphs and the alike are gradually being discovered. Many identical symbols have been found in different countries situated at vast distances from each other. Although not all of the symbols found across the globe are an exact copy of each other, the strikingly similarities leaves one with the assumption that all languages trace back to a single common source… The Parent Civilization, the bringers of the Language of Light.

In many parts of the world, archeologists and researchers are uncovering this archaic form of Sanskrit now recognized as a precursor to all known languages in every region where they are found. Translations and grammar suggest a global human culture thrived in antiquity.

In the Sinai the language has been given the name "old Negev," For centuries in Australia it has be known by the name "Panaramitee," It has been misrepresented as Native American Indian sign language in the America. The language and grammar are now understood to be proto-Canaanite and appear to have roots in common with Egyptian and Hebrew. The petroglyphs successfully translate to English using an old Hebrew dialect in all three locations.

Evidence of the antiquity of this script in both America and Australia suggest that this root language may pre-date that of the Hebrews. The team who made the discovery suggest using an unbiased name, such as "the First Tongue," to avoid any presumptive association with a specific people or era. The content of the translations, although not complete, suggests a common culture and spiritual belief system.

The records of the 'Koori People' (Australian Aborigines) are inscribed upon the rocks of this land, and one of the patriarchs of our race, 'Kingajanik' goes back 50,000 years ago, and as a race the 'Koori' people go back to a time even before this. The 'Koori' people are the oldest race upon this planet, undisturbed by wars of conquest by outsiders, or the mixing of blood, we were until the whiteman came, the purest racial line on earth.

The beginnings of the 'Koori' race was 'Baiame' and yet inscribed upon the rocks of 'Innaminka' in South Australia, is the record of another race of people that once inhabited this island continent before it became part of the frozen south, before 'Baiame' and before the 'Koori' peoples. We simply refer to these people as the 'Old Ones'. - The Book of Yahi 'Boomba Djunebun'

Australia

California

Sinai

In Australia, this alphabet has been found in many locations and adheres to the grammar and structure of the other known petroglyphs on the other two continents. Ironically, instead of considering the similarity to other archaeological sites around the globe as evidence of a global culture, the scientific community in Australia has denied the possibility that this is any type of "system" at all, either writing or storyboard.

The concept that these odd shapes somehow formed a system of communication was first put forth by Lesley Maynard. Maynard received overwhelming resistance to his assertion and he finally discontinued his efforts. By the late 1980s, there was virtually no interest in these petroglyphs. In 1995, Bednarik reported the results of his experiment to see how readily the Panaramitee Tradition could be recognized. He sent drawings and pictures of several examples of petroglyphs to various rock art scholars around the globe. Ninety-eight (98%) percent wrongly identified petroglyphs from the United States, Africa and Europe as being Panaramitee Tradition. Bednarik summarized as follows,

"It is either not possible to identify the Panaramitee style, or... this is a world-wide style."

- Josephine Flood - Rock Art of the Dreamtime

Giving the very ancient history of the Australian Aboriginals, and the words of Boomba Djunebun, we can assume that the dating given of three to four thousand year old, needs to be revised. If the petroglyphs found here in Australia, are of an extreme similar pattern found in other areas of the globe, and the elders tell us they belong to the race which preceded them, surely we are looking closer to at least 50,000 years. An ancient race, which we are told, migrated north, when the earth tilted on its axis and moved this southern continent closer to the South Pole.

The following quote I found quite profound, as it in my opinion, is very true to form.

And the whole land was of one language and of one speech. . . . And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven. . . . And the Lord said, behold, the people is one, and they have all one language. . . . Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth.

- Genesis XI. 1-9

Although there is still more spread sheeting to be done, this is a small example of similar symbols found globally.

The lost Enochian knowledge reveals the mother tongue as a "Language of Light". Known to the ancients as HIBURU, it is the primal seed language, introduced at the beginning of this time cycle. The alphabetic forms emerge from luminous flare patterns of the brain. It is a true language of light, coursing through our very nervous system.

- The Lost Art of Enochian Magic – Dr. John Dee

The introduction of the Keys of Enoch (JJ Hurtak) explains that the Enoch Keys were given through a holy scroll of burning Light, where geometries pulsated out of the scroll, giving wisdom to the receiver. According to Enoch the ancient Egyptian-Hebrew-Tibetan-Sanskrit-Chinese tongues are to be used, because they still connect with the Masters of Wisdom.

Hiburu is a harmonic language, mimicking the waveform properties of light. The "keys" Enoch speaks of, turn out to be sound keys, keys to be vibratory matrix of reality itself. The Enochian knowledge describes sonic equations, encoded within the ancient mantras and god names, capable of directly affecting the nervous system and creating a profound effect of healing and higher states of consciousness.

A personal experience obtained whilst in Egypt on tour with brothers Robert & Jean-Paul Bauval and Graham Hancock in April of 2011, visiting the Karnak Temple in Luxor. I put my forehead to one of the enormous stone block walls (a short ceremony shown to me by one of the Temple guards a few days earlier, which entailed touching hand to forehead, hand to heart, repeated three times, then forehead to stone). What I received, I will never forget. In my third eye, I was being downloaded hundreds of geometric patterns in a matter of minutes. I could not even recall what they looked like as they were coming in so fast, I returned from that journey with some remarkable new insights.

Aunty Beverly Spears’, was one of the last remaining fully initiated Tribal people of the aboriginal Darkinjung Tribe in the Gosford area. She once mentioned that it was common practice for an initiate to learn a new symbol at each stage of the initiation. It was always known what stage of initiation a student had achieved by how many symbols the initiate had attained.

With all this in mind, I have to wonder if the areas of petroglyphs, which are known to be sacred sites all over the world, are areas of initiation ceremonies?

According to legend, the science of spiritual liberation also known as alchemy, illumination, enlightenment, transfiguration or ascension, was a gift to humanity from the previous civilizations 'The Old Ones', with the purpose of embodied liberation of the human soul, whereby ones evolutionary soul consciousness is accelerated to completion. The science of transformation was the highest valued knowledge and the ultimate test of the human experience to the ancients. Suppression by orthodox religion has fragmented the truth and forced the knowledge underground into mystery schools and secret societies. It has been referred to as the Perennial Philosophy or the Underground Stream of knowledge due to its hidden nature encoded in symbols, myth, and scripture.

The Language of the Birds, known as the Green Language or the Language of the Gods, embraces Kabbalah, Astrology, Alchemy and Tarot. Its grammar is symbolism, holographic symbolism, when properly understood. The language of the birds was considered a secret and perfect language and the key to perfect knowledge. It assists with the ascension of human consciousness in the alchemy of time Thoth, the Egyptian Bird Headed God, scripted the languages of our reality, to be viewed as symbolic messages through the ages, and finally brought to light at the end of the cycles of time.

Fulcanelli, a Twentieth century alchemist and philosopher, in his masterpiece ‘The Mystery of the Cathedrals’, published in Paris in 1926, was a master of the Green Language itself, and a master of the subjects usually hidden within it. Fulcanelli tells us, the key to unraveling the greater mystery of alchemy lies in an understanding of what he calls the "phonetic law" of the "spoken cabala," or the "Language of the Birds.” "What unsuspected marvels we should find, if we knew how to dissect words, to strip them of their barks and liberate the spirit, the divine light, which is within” - The Mystery of the Cathedrals – Fulcanelli

It was also the language of the Freemasons ("All the Initiates expressed themselves in cant," Fulcanelli reminds us). The language/art of light, is derived from the Language of the Birds, which seems to be a sort of Ur-language taught by both Jesus and the ancients.

Fulcanelli tells us that "Language, is the instrument of the spirit, has a life of its own - even though it is only a reflection of the universal Idea." This Gnostic meta-linguistic mysticism is the core it seems of illumination itself."

Birds played an important role in Indo-European religion, from the Renaissance, it was the inspiration for some magical priori languages, in particular musical languages. The Whistled Language is based on natural languages used in some cultures, which are sometimes also referred to ‘The language of the birds’. The language of birds in Greek mythology may be attained by magical means. Democritus, Anaximander, Apollonius of Tyana, Tiresias, Melampus and Aesopus were all said to have understood the birds.

In Celtic mythology, birds usually represent prophetic knowledge or bloodshed (especially crows). Aboriginal Tribes of Australia had Bunjil the eagle and Waa the crow alternating throughout the tribes as their tribal symbol. The symbolic meaning of the Raven in Native American Indian lore describes the raven as a creature of metamorphosis, and symbolizes change/transformation. The Raven is the Native American bearer of magic, and a harbinger of messages from the cosmos. Messages that are beyond space and time are nestled in the midnight wings of the Raven and come to only those within the tribe who are worthy of the knowledge.

The concept is also known from many folk tales (including Welsh, Russian, German, Estonian, Greek), where usually the protagonist is granted the gift of understanding the language of the birds either by some magical transformation, or as a reward for some good deed by the king of birds.

In Sufism, the language of birds is a mystical language of angels. In the Talmud (Louis Ginzberg, Legends of the Bible, 1909), Solomon's proverbial wisdom was due to his being granted understanding of the language of birds by God.

In Egyptian Arabic, hieroglyphic writing is called "the alphabet of the birds".

In Ancient Egyptian itself, the hieroglyphic form of writing was given the name medu-netjer ("words of the gods" or "divine language").

Geometric Patterns and DNA

Both the writings of Thoth and Enoch suggest this “Language of Light", the harmonic science of the ancients, could actually affect DNA.

Thanks to the work of modern molecular biologists Fritz-Albert Popp and Mae-Wan Ho, we now know that DNA emits a weak form of coherent light that works like a communication system between cells and even between larger organisms. In this regard, the art of light is indeed the instrument of the spirit. It is nothing less than the mechanical framework so to speak, allowing the ‘Mind’ to exist in the universe. The Language of Light emitted and received by the DNA may be the original of all languages, the ultimate language of initiation.

- Bioelectrodynamics & Biocommunication

– Mae-Wan Ho,& Fritz Albert Popp

The work of anthropologist Jeremy Narby, states the Ur-language of light is a "forest television" of images in which "DNA is a snaked shaped master of transformation that lives in water and is both extremely long and small, single and double. Just like the cosmic serpent, the one who has the skin of the dragon, or has become one with the cosmic serpent of DNA, can understand this symbolic language of light.

- The Cosmic Serpent – DNA & The Origins of Knowledge

The use of cymatics proves to us that every different vibration/frequency has its own geometric pattern. The word Cymatics derives from the Greek 'kuma' meaning 'billow' or 'wave,' to describe the periodic effects that sound and vibration have on matter.

Herbert Fröhlich was a theoretical physicist in the field of solid state physics and the father of superconductivity theory. Here he describes how the coherent vibrations would actually work.

- Fröhlich, H., Coherent electric vibrations in biological systems and the cancer problem. IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques MTT 26:613-617

“An assembly of cells, as in a tissue or organ, will have certain collective frequencies that regulate important processes, such as cell division. Normally these control frequencies will be very stable. If, for some reason, a cell shifts its frequency, entraining signals from neighboring cells will tend to reinstall the correct frequency. However, if a sufficient number of cells get out-of-step, the strength of the system's collective vibrations can decrease to the point where stability is lost. Loss of coherence can lead to disease or disorder.”

The DNA coil itself is representive of a spiraling snake. Quite possibly the reason the serpent was highly venerated in most parts of the ancient world? All through history the serpent and the bird has been held with high regard and connected to wisdom and medicine. . The high initiates of Egypt would adorn the cobra and bird on their headdress over the third eye area symbolizing their high initiate status.

Similarities are also found with the symbolic Caduceus (Rod of Hermes / Thoth) depicting the two intertwined snakes ascending in union to the open feathered wings as does the representation of the Mesoamerican Deity Quetzalcoatl as the Feathered Serpent.

The Rainbow Serpent or Sky Serpent has been used in sacred ceremonies and Dreamtime Stories by the Australian Aborigines for thousands of years. The Elders claimed that ceremonial rites associated with its use were taught to them by the sky gods, the Ancient Ancestors. The Rainbow Serpent represented the sacred spirit energy called the Serpentine Life Force (Kundalini) which was directly associated with the ‘Spirit Bird’, representing the flight of the soul. The physical form used in rituals and ceremonies, entailed a multicoloured wooden sculpture of two snakes entwined from the base to the top, very similar to the Caduceus.

- The Secret in the Bible – Tony Bushby

The ancient Caduceus symbolizes on an esoteric level the alchemical process. The staff represents the spinal column, the spiral of the two serpents represents the kundalini life force. The sphere at the top of the staff represents the energy center of the brain or the seventh chakra. The Wings at the top of the staff represents freedom or liberation of the soul from the cycle of birth and death. One transcends the bonds of ego and bodily identification, releasing the spirit from the confines of matter.

In India, kundalini is personified as the Divine Mother: Shakti Ma, Kali Ma, or other goddesses. She is the feminine power at the base of the spine, which travels up the spine to unite with the masculine power, her consort, Lord Shiva (Shakta), in the seventh chakra, sahasrara. This union of opposites is a powerful symbol depicted in all cultures.

As kundalini ascends through the chakras, mental limitations are gradually removed so consciousness can shine in its pristine glory. Mental fluctuations settle down and the mind becomes serene.

As sahasrara chakra kundalini merges with Shiva, who is identified with her. In her formless state she is consciousness. In her creative form she is Shakti, the power of manifestation.

Kundalini’s descent creates increasing ignorance, bondage, and delusion. The same kundalini energy, as it ascends, causes spiritual awakening, freedom, and wisdom.

This process is also mirrored in the Jewish mystical tradition of the Kabbalah when ascending the Tree of Life which esoterically is the seven energy centers or chakras that run up the spinal column to the brain.

Fulcanelli insists this Ur-language is the common language of initiation and illumination behind cultural expressions as different as the Christian, the Inca, the medieval troubadours and the ancient Greeks.

The Mayans of Meso-America referred to the Pleiades (The Seven Sisters) as ‘The Cranary’ as it was the seedbed of their civilization and the cosmic star mother whom from they received the codes of light.

Published spokesman of the Mayan culture, Don Alejandro Wandering Wolf of Guatemala Santa Fe, New Mexico 1999 states…

"The Wingmakers are actually the star people. Mayan actually means "my people." They first came to Atlantis. Our first pyramids are there, underwater. In the Bermuda area. Tulan was the name of the city of Atlantis. Their great prophets, (star people), came and gave an oral transmission. It has been passed down for thousands of years. In the beginning there were four of them. The first teachers from the Pleiades taught the astronomy and the beginning of creation, the Great Mysteries. They have the power of the sixth and seventh senses and the third eye. They came to teach us these things. The way of working together, etc. There have been many visitations from the Pleiades, then they return there, then they come back here again and come down to Asia, Tibet, Kaimaya, and in India also.

"Nagamaya" they were called. There are glyphs that speak of these visitations, like the Wingmakers. More will be discovered when it is time. There are some now incarnated in bodies, we do not know who they are and it is a secret until the time comes. This is the return of the ancestors spoken about in the prophecies. They will all arise, not just Mayan, all of us "

Naga is a type of aquatic serpentine semi-divine creature mentioned in Buddhist canonical literature and depicted in artwork on temples in South and Central Asia. Nagas figure in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. In India Naga is also known as a Hindu who travels from place to place living a very simple life without any possessions, very similar to the ways of the Gnostic and Cathars of Europe. In the Bible Jesus was referred to as a naggar (a serpent of wisdom). Naggar: Noun = the Learned Man; before the bible was canonized.

Throughout the planet, within traditional native communities there are often higher spiritual orders (elders) men/women of high degree were known to the western world as Shaman, Witch Doctors, Medicine Men, Clever Fellas and the alike, who are initiated in the most sacred knowledge held by their people, knowledge unknown to the general community. From my own experiences, the knowledge comes from a multidimensional level, once we are able to shake off the bonds of matter, we are then able travel the spiritual realms, and connect with multidimensional beings.

According to Enoch, man will not appreciate the Scriptures of Light as they will only understand scripture in terms of mythology taught from a historical standpoint rather than learning the higher spiritual truths. However the time will come when it will become clear to man that organized religions, proclaiming themselves as the authority of Christ will be seen as the ‘Abomination of Desolation’.

Was this higher truth, the Ancient Language of Light, the foundation on which religions were formed? Did the priesthood transform the truth into a puzzling mythological nightmare in order to control the masses and keep the people disconnected from their higher spiritual truths and each other?

Furthermore, were the indigenous races the last to feel the effects of modern religion retaining some of the ancient knowledge they are imparting with us today? If so, this would certainly give reason for the mass genocide of native tribes and stolen generations globally since the Spanish Conquest and sadly still ongoing today.

Oahspe is a book written in 1880 by an American dentist named John Ballou Newbrough [1828-1891]. He claimed that it was the result of automatic writing, dictated to him by spirits in a trance.

Oahspe, The Lord's Fourth Bk, 17/1.2-6.

God said: Behold, with my sacred people I have established myself in written words. Now it has come to pass that all the races of man on earth shall be made to know me.

God commanded man to make stone and wooden images, and engravings also, of everything upon the earth. And so man made them; according to his own knowledge he made them.

God said: As every living creature has a name, so shall its image and its engraving have the same name. And so shall it be with all things on the earth, in its waters, and in the air above the earth, the image and the engravings shall have the same names as the real things themselves.

And God sent his angels down to man, to inspire him in the workmanship of images and engravings, and man thus accomplished the commandments of God.

‘And these were the first writings since the flood, other than those that were kept secret among the initiates.’
