The Nature of Freemasonry

Compiled by Fr. Matthew Raphael Johnson

Freemasons are expert propagandists, as well as direct follows of Lucifer at the higher levels. I have received a few questions recently why Orthodoxy condemns the Lodges of the Masons, and there are many who don’t know the basic “theology” these creeps hold to. Of course, many of the lower level Masons also are aware of the secrets of the upper chambers, but do little about it. I’ve complied these citations from numerous written and electronic sources.

Over the last several years, I have been searching out verifiable quotes relating to Freemasonry and its relationship to Luciferianism/Promethianism. Because forgeries abound in this field, I have only used sources deriving from the great founders of the Order, people like Hall or Pike, whose authority in Masonry is impeccable. My purpose is to debunk not only the myths of Masonry, but also th pseudo-Orthodox who are deep into the mysteries of the lodge. In this respect, no Orthodox man can hold that the New Orthodox have grace, or that they are even Christian, largely due to their Masonic connections. The Phanar has been avowedly masonic since the 1920s, if not sooner, as has the Patriarchate of Alexandria. The Serbian Orthodox Church in America is led by a public Mason, Christopher the Malevolent, and most of the Serbian and Greek diaspora is Masonic at one level or another. The reality is that quotes from the Phanar on ecumenism are nearly identical to 19th century quotes from the major writers on Masonry. Too close, in fact, to be coincidence. Hence, one must conclude the modern Orthodoxy is a fraud, and only the separatists, the Old Believers, the True Orthodox in Russia and Greece, alone are Orthodox, alone are Christian, and alone are presently struggling for salvation.

One is justified in saying that Masonry, broadly speaking, is the “religious” element of the New World Order, or the movement from elite sources to merge the nations and religious of the globe into a single economic and political space. It is the single more important movement in our times. It dictates one’s standing in the world, in that all those who accept its tenets are promoted and given mainline prestige, all who reject it are relegated to the “outer darkness,” as the Masons would say. Because of this, it became imperative that the leaders of all “religions” of the world become Masons to one extent or another. This has been accomplished in the Vatican, the Phanar, among the Protestants and even among the Tibetan Buddhists (though Buddhism is not a religion, strictly speaking).

Hence, an Orthodox source of these citations is absolutely necessary. Many Orthodox, even among the True Faith, refuse to deal with this issue, partially out of ignorance, but partially out of their own culpability, since the ethnic diaspora among the Orthodox peoples are so heavily infiltrated. Since the internet is such an easily accessible source of Masonic teachings, there is complete moral culpability for those low level Masons who refuse to condemn the order. They have lost their souls, and no excuses, in this day and age, can be used by them.

As a result, it is certainly not exaggeration to say that Lucifer controls the Phanar, and most of those in communion with it. Keep in mind as you read these things that many of the hierarchs in "world Orthodoxy" accept these techings, and have taken oaths that prove their acceptance of these.

Masonry is the descendent of, or is founded upon, a divinely imparted religion which long antedates the prime date of creation as given in our Bible. It is all that remains to us of the first world religion which flourished in an antiquity so old that it is impossible to affix a date. It was the first unified religion... To this, such symbols as the pyramids, both in Egypt and South America, bear witness... The ancient mysteries were temporary custodians of the ancient truth and closely allied to the Masonic work of today... the relation of the Mysteries to Masonry has oft been recognized, and the golden thread of living continuity can be traced through them to modern Masonry. The Mysteries...are all parts of that ancient thread which has its origin in that primeval religion which terminates today in masonry

Foster Bailey [33rd degree Mason], 'The Spirit of Freemasonry' 30-2

When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onwards and upwards he must prove his ability to properly apply (this) energy.

Triangle - An important symbol in Masonry. 1. The equilateral triangle was adopted by all ancient nations as a symbol of Deity, and was regarded as the most perfect of figures. It constantly recurred in Craft Masonry as well as in the Royal Arch. 2. The right angled triangle was also regarded as an important figure. Among the Egyptians the base represented Osiris, or the male principle; the perpendicular, Isis, or the female principle; and the hypoteneuse, Horus, their son.

R.H.MacKenzie, 'The Royal Masonic Encylopedia: Rites, Symbolism and Biograghy. 743

Men have to decide whether they want a God like the ancient Hebrew Yahweh, a partisan tribal god, with whom they can talk and argue and from whom they can hide if necessary, or a boundless, eternal, universal, undenominational, and international Divine Spirit so vastly removed from the speck called man, that he cannot be known, named or approached. So soon as man begins to laud his God and endow him with the most perfect human attributes such as justice, mercy, beneficence, etc. the Divine Essence is depreciated and despoiled... The Masonic test is a Supreme Being, and any qualification added is an innovation and distortion...Monotheism. violates Masonic principles, for it requires belief in a specific kind of Supreme Deity

Coil’s Masonic Encyclopaedia (95: 516-17)

To you, Sovereign Instructors of Grade 33, we tell you: you have to repeat to the brothers of inferior grades that we worship only one God to whom we pray without superstition. It is we, Initiated in the Supreme Grade, that are to keep the real Masonic religion preserving pure the Lucifer doctrine

Albert Pike, Directed to the 23 Supreme Councils of the Illuminati 4 June 1889

You must conceal all crimes of your brother Masons...and should you be summoned as a witness against a brother Mason be always sure to shield him...It may be perjury to do this, it is true, but you're keeping your obligations.

Handbook of Masonry, page 183

The same prohibition, plus another in the first of the Old Charges, prohibits discussion of sectarian religion.

Sectarian religion does not refer to Christian denominations; it refers to Christianity the same as any other of the world’s several religions. That means that Christian sermons should not be delivered at Lodge gatherings, nor should Christian prayers be offered, nor Christian symbols displayed.

The prohibition on discussion of religious subjects in Masonic meetings applies to Masons even if every member of the Lodge is of the same religious belief.

Mentor’s Manual, Lodge of Indiana, p. 16

Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!

Pike, Morals and Dogma, 321

I hereby promise the Great Spirit Lucifuge, Prince of Demons, that each year I will bring unto him a human soul to do with as as it may please him, and in return Lucifuge promises to bestow upon me the treasures of the earth and fulfil my every desire for the length of my natural life. If I fail to bring him each year the offering specified above, then my own soul shall be forfeit to him.

The Secret Teaching Of All Ages by Manly Palmer Hall 33° p. 104.

We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effects of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will be from that moment without compass, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.

Albert Pike 33°, Letter 15 August 1871 Addressed to Grand Master Guiseppie Mazzini 33° Archives British Museum

It was during that period that I became interested in freemasonry. ... In the eighteenth century freemasonry became expressive of a militant policy of enlightenment, as in the case of the Illuminati, who were the forerunners of the revolution; on its left it culminated in the Carbonari. Freemasons counted among their members both Louis XVI and the Dr. Guillotin who invented the guillotine. In southern Germany freemasonry assumed an openly revolutionary character, whereas at the court of Catherine the Great it was a masquerade reflecting the aristocratic and bureaucratic hierarchy. A freemason Novikov was exiled to Siberia by a freemason Empress.

I discontinued my work on freemasonry to take up the study of Marxian economics. ... The work on freemasonry acted as a sort of test for these hypotheses. ... I think this influenced the whole course of my intellectual development

Leon Trotsky

. . .the Gnostics, the Manicheans and the Templars have admitted, as the only logical metaphysical conception, the system of the two divine principles fighting eternally, and one cannot believe the one inferior in power to the other. Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay (code for the God of the Christians); but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.

- "Instructions", issued on July 14, 1889 by Freemason General Albert Pike

I will aid and assist a companion Royal Arch Mason when engaged in any difficulty, and espouse his cause so far as to extricate him from the same, if within my power, whether he be right or wrong.

Excerpt from Freemasonry's "Royal Arch Degree" Oath

All antiquity believed ...in a Mediator or Redeemer, by means of whom the Evil Principle was to be overcome and the Supreme Deity reconciled to His creatures. The belief was general that he was to be born of a virgin and suffer a painful death. The Hindus called him Krishna; the Chinese, Kioun-tse; the Persians, Sosiosch; the Scandinavins, Balder; the Christians, Jesus; the Masons, Hiram.

Pirtle, The [Masonic] Kentucky Monitor 14,15

Freemasonry has taught each man can, by himself work out his own conception of God and thereby achieve salvation

J. S. M. Ward 'Freemasonry: Its Aims and Ideals (p 187)

Masonry is regarded as the direct descendant, or as a survival of the mysteries...of Isis and Osiris in Egypt

Robert Freke Gould, History of Freemasonry 1:13

In Crete, Jupiter Ammon, or the Sun in Aries, painted with the attributes of that equinoctial sign, the Ram or Lamb; - that Ammon who, Martianus Copella says, is the same as Osiris, Adoni, Adonis, Atys and the other Sun-Gods - had also a tomb, and a religious initiation; one of the principal ceremonies of which consisted in clothing the Initiate with the skin of a white lamb. And in this case we see the origin of the apron of white sheepskin, used in Freemasonry
