Paganism and the Illuminati :.

WTF?!

This will be the "Reader's Digest Condensed Version of this theory. When I first began investigating the Illuminati and the 13 Families therein, I was a bit put off by the blatant and outrageous claims of Satanic Egyptian Paganistic rites and rituals. Satanism, as you may know, in My book, does not have a place in the annals of Paganism. Furthermore, anyone who has read even the most mundane writings concerning ancient Egyptian spirituality will tell you forthright and with conviction that A) Egyptians at the time of Osiris were not yet xtian converts, and B) Satanism is the flip side of xtianity; a religion which had not yet been born. The theories and diatribes concerning the Illuminati vary widely on some points, but on two points, they seem to be the same. A) They throw together ALL Pagan religions, beliefs, theologies, rites, and paths into one collective pit of detritus, top it off with Lucifer and label the menagerie as "Satanism." Now, this practice is common yet annoying to Pagans on a couple of serious levels. 1) Pagan religions in general do not believe in any form of Satan, daemons, or the "devil." 2) The paths and the traditions follow a different set of Dieties, known as Pantheons. Nine Deities; one Goddess and eight Gods. While each culture added and/or changed the attendant demi gods to suit their own societal needs, I can assure you that in most Pagan paths (including the hundreds of Wiccan traditions) none of the Gods, Goddesses, or demi gods were the xtian devil, nor anything like him/her. All that having been said, if My understanding of the Illuminati theories is correct, all paths non xtian (Taoism, Buddaism, Paganism as a whole, etc.) lead to the same place in that they all lead away from the xtian god. The Illuminati is said to be the dark cloak of the 13 families of Power, the Freemasons, the Shriners, the Order of the golden Dawn, the Temples of Isis & Osiris, all covens and Covensteads, and a plethera of other "alternative" secret societies. Funny, but as a High Priestess with a small RT following and a somewhat larger internet following, I am not basking in ANY of the wealth that is said to control all the world banks, all national governments, and well over 50% of the world's wealth. (It is said that one family alone holds approximately 50% of the world wealth, and there are 13 families.) Now, I'm not in any way, shape, or form disputing the existence of the secretive group, the Illuminati. I do not dispute their power, wealth, or status. I will also refrain from disputing their intention: world domination complete with a new world order implemented through the pawns that would establish a one world government; the United Nations. I believe this is a definite possibility, as all signs do point to, "Yes!" What I DO dispute is the blatant dogmatic tendency of the xtians of the world to wrap up all Magick users into the black gift wrap of guilt and top it off with the ebony bow of "Satanism." For cryin out loud, I've heard enough of this sh*t. I grew up during the era of the Cold War, the "Big Brother" era. None of this surprises Me in the least. Dreams of world domination, unethical and immoral tactics, and ruthless brutality do not surprise Me. Blatant disrespect for fellow man, reverence of royal bloodlines, and vicious financial domination do not surprise Me. What DOES surprise Me is that some of the most educated men of our time have so little regard for others' cultural theological belies and differences as to stamp all things non xtian with the same label as their own heresy. To be a heretic of xtianity, one must first be OF xtianity. While most Pagans will acknowledge the existence of Jehova, there are two factors which separates that acknowledgement from our inclusion under the "heretic" label. 1) Pagans acknowledge Jehova's existence, but not his supremacy, and 2)most do not acknowledge the existence of the devil known as "Satan." Are the governing upper echelon of these 13 families really Satanists? Luciferians? Do they call a dark lord for financial domination? Or are they merely very powerful Pagans who use known stereotypes to keep others at bay? Do these men strive to bring into power a One World Government, or do they seek nothing more than the security of amassing undeniable material wealth? Are Pagans the unwitting puppets in a world wide conspiracy of traitors and heretics to the world's people? Are Pagans helping to implement the goal of the world-dominating Illuminati? If their goal is to detract believers from the throngs of xtian sheep, then perhaps we are. Are the Freemasons really Satanists hiding behind the xtian cross or innocent, poorly led, misinformed xtians trying to do a good deed? If the latter is the case, then the lower ranks up into the middle ranks have no idea what they are a part of. Just as, before this study, neither did I. Judge for yourself. And yet, after making love with My one for a few hours, all this just hooplah just doesn't seem to matter very much anymore. Perceptions of priorities rear their thickly-maned heads and deliver the bittersweet kiss on the nose I so needed. Walk in the Light, Ppoppets and be true to yourself along the way. *snuggles down with My man and drifts off to other whens; other wheres...*
