Enochian magic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly History[edit] Origins and manuscript sources[edit] The Enochian system of magic as practiced today is primarily the product of researches and workings by four men: John Dee, Edward Kelley, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley. The raw material for the Enochian magical system was "dictated" through a series of Angelic communications which lasted from 1582-1589. This account of the Angelic communications is taken at face value by most Enochian occultists.

Enochian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly The language found in Dee and Kelley's journals encompasses a limited textual corpus, only some of it with English translations. Several linguists, notably Donald Laycock, have studied Enochian, and argue against any extraordinary features in the language. Dee's Angelic language[edit] According to Tobias Churton in his text The Golden Builders,[1] the concept of an Angelic or antediluvian language was common during Dee's time. If one could speak with angels, it was believed one could directly interact with them. In 1581, Dee mentioned in his personal journals that God had sent "good angels" to communicate directly with prophets. According to Dee's journals,[3] Angelical was supposed to have been the language God used to create the world, and which was later used by Adam to speak with God and the angels, and to name all things in existence. The other set of Enochian texts was received through Kelley about a year later, in Kraków. Alphabet[edit] Skeptical and linguistic evaluations[edit]
Pagan Roots of the Trinity Doctrine - What does the Bible say? | BiblicalUnitarian.com (© Ed Torrence 2002) The Trinity doctrine is not unique to, nor original with, Christianity. It has deep Pagan roots, dating back to at least two centuries BC, and has been prominent in many Eastern religions ever since. The Roman Catholic and Orthodox Church Councils (Western and Eastern churches) brought the Trinity doctrine into Christianity. This occurred before there was a final split between the two over authority. The evolution of this doctrine within Christianity began with The Apostle’s Creed, progressed to the Nicene Creed, and finally culminated in the Athanasian Creed. The Apostle’s Creed which was not written by the Apostles at all, but by the RCC. The Nicene Creed established in 325 AD, was the next step. The Athanasian Creed espouses the Trinitarian concepts of Athanasius, a fourth century theologian. The Christian Church’s roots were originally from Judaism, which was, and still is, a monotheistic (One-God) religion. [Used with permission.
Siege of Zara - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly The Siege of Zara or Siege of Zadar (Croatian: Opsada Zadra) (November 10–24, 1202) was the first major action of the Fourth Crusade and the first attack against a Catholic city by Catholic crusaders. The Fourth Crusade sacked the Croatian town of Zadar, a rival of Venice, despite letters from Pope Innocent III forbidding such an action and threatening excommunication.[3][7] Background[edit] Shortly after his election as pope in 1198, Pope Innocent III (1161–1216) published several papal encyclicals calling for the invasion and recapture of the Holy Land from the Muslims. Innocent III negotiated an agreement with the Republic of Venice, Europe's dominant sea power at the time, involving the construction of a fleet of warships and transports. The agreement between the Venetians and the crusaders had set the date for the arrival of the host in Venice before the end of April 1202, in order to provide for a departure in time for a summer crossing at the end of June.

Immanentize the eschaton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly In political theory and theology, to immanentize the eschaton means trying to bring about the eschaton (the final, heaven-like stage of history) in the immanent world. It has been used by conservative critics as a pejorative reference to certain utopian projects, such as socialism, communism, and transhumanism.[1] In all these contexts it means "trying to make that which belongs to the afterlife happen here and now (on Earth)" or "trying to create heaven here on Earth." Theologically the belief is akin to Postmillennialism as reflected in the Social Gospel of the 1880-1930 era,[2] as well as Protestant reform movements during the Second Great Awakening in the 1830s and 1840s such as abolitionism.[3] Origin[edit] Modern usage of the phrase started with Eric Voegelin in The New Science of Politics in 1952. Voegelin identified a number of similarities between ancient Gnosticism and the beliefs held by a number of modernist political theories, particularly Communism and Nazism.
Lake Guatavita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly The Zipa used to cover his body in gold dust and, from his raft, he offered treasures to the Guatavita goddess in the middle of the sacred lake. This old Muisca tradition became the origin of El Dorado legend. This model is on display in the Gold Museum, Bogotá, Colombia Votive objects found at the bottom of Lake Guatavita in the British Museum The lake is circular and about a quarter mile in diameter, formed by what appears to be a crater. There are hot springs nearby giving the name of the nearby Municipality of Sesquilé, which means hot water. The name of the lake is derived from Spanish laguna: pool or pond, and Guatavita from Chibcha (language of the Muisca people) gwa: mountain or gwata, gwate: high elevation, or gwatibita: high mountain peak; hence, a pool at a high mountain peak. [2] The lake is now a focus of ecotourism, and its association with the legend of El Dorado is also a major attraction.

Green Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly Types[edit] Lady Raglan coined the term "Green Man" in her 1939 article "The Green Man in Church Architecture" in The Folklore Journal.[3] Some commentators conflate or associate the term with "Jack in the Green".[4] Usually referred to in works on architecture as foliate heads or foliate masks, carvings of the Green Man may take many forms, naturalistic or decorative. The simplest depict a man's face peering out of dense foliage. Some may have leaves for hair, perhaps with a leafy beard. Often leaves or leafy shoots are shown growing from his open mouth and sometimes even from the nose and eyes as well. The Green Man appears in many forms, with the three most common types categorized as: the Foliate Head: completely covered in green leavesthe Disgorging Head: spews vegetation from its mouththe Bloodsucker Head: sprouts vegetation from all facial orifices (e.g. tear ducts, nostrils and mouth)[5][6] In churches[edit] Later variations[edit] Modern images[edit] Related characters[edit]
Rosslyn Chapel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly Rosslyn Chapel, formally known as the Collegiate Chapel of St Matthew, was founded on a small hill above Roslin Glen as a Catholic collegiate church (with between four and six ordained canons and two boy choristers) in the mid-15th century. Rosslyn Chapel and the nearby Roslin Castle are located at the village of Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland. The chapel was founded by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness (also spelled "Sainteclaire/Saintclair/Sinclair/St. The purpose of the college was to celebrate the Divine Office throughout the day and night and also to celebrate Holy Mass for all the faithful departed, including the deceased members of the Sinclair family. After the Scottish Reformation (1560) Roman Catholic worship in the chapel was brought to an end, although the Sinclair family continued to be Roman Catholics until the early 18th century. In later years the chapel has featured in speculative theories regarding Freemasonry and the Knights Templar. Interior of the chapel.
Ariel (angel) Ariel (Hebrew: אריאל, Ari'el, Arael or Ariael) is an archangel found primarily in Jewish and Christian mysticism and Apocrypha. The name Ariel, "Lion of God" or "Hearth of God," occurs in the Hebrew Bible but as the name of an angel the earliest source is unclear. In the Hebrew Bible the prophet Isaiah uses Ariel as a personification of Jerusalem, saying: 1 Woe to you, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David settled! Harris Fletcher (1930) found the name Ariel in a copy of the Syncellus fragments of the Book of Enoch, and suggested that the text was known to John Milton and may be the source for Milton's use of the name for a minor angel in Paradise Lost.[1] However, the presence of the name in the Syncellus fragments has not been verified (1938),[2] and in any case since the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls', earlier versions of the Book of Enoch are now known to not contain the name Ariel. In the Coptic Pistis Sophia (MS. Gustav Davidson 1967.
