The term comes from the Ecclesiastical Latin: peccatum Sodomiticum, or "sin of Sodom" and derives from the Greek word Σόδομα Sódoma.The Book of Genesis (chapters 18-20) tells how God wished to destroy the sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Two angels (literally "messengers") are invited by Lot to take refuge with his family for the night. The men of Sodom surrounded Lot's house and demanded that he bring the messengers out, so that they can "know" them. Lot protests that the "messengers" are his guests, and offers them his virgin daughters instead, but the Sodomites threaten to "do worse" with Lot than with his guests; whereupon the angels strike the Sodomites blind, "so that they wearied themselves to find the door." (Genesis 19:4-11, KJV) ![]() There was a saying in Germany when raw recruits arrive at the barrracks, the name they are given Isis Red Arse Nig...

Barracks are specialised buildings for permanent military accommodation; the word may apply to separate housing blocks or to complete complexes. Their main object is to separate soldiers from the civilian population and reinforce discipline, training and esprit de corps. They were sometimes called discipline factories for soldiers. Like industrial factories, they are sometimes synonymous with shoddy or dull buildings although there are examples of magnificent architecture such as the Collins barracks and others in Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Vienna or London
A Barr body is the inactive X chromosome in a female somatic cell, rendered inactive in a process called lyonization, in those species (including humans) in which sex is determined by the presence of the Y or W chromosome rather than the diploidy of the X or Z. The Lyon hypothesis states that in cells with multiple X chromosomes, all but one are inactivated during mammalian embryogenesis. This happens early in embryonic development at random in mammals, except in marsupials and in some extra-embryonic tissues of some placental mammals, in which the father's X chromosome is always deactivated...Bar Mitzvah (Hebrew: בר מצוה) and Bat Mitzvah (Hebrew: בת מצוה) are Jewish coming of age rituals. Bar "בר" is a Jewish Babylonian Aramaic word meaning son, in Hebrew it's Ben "בן". Bat "בת" is Hebrew for girl, and Mitzvah "מצוה" is a commandment and a law. How aplomb So to gesture everyone Words dissemble Words be quick Words resemble walking sticks... Plant them they will grow Watch them waver so I'll always be a word man Better then a bird man... The Rack is a torture device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground, with a roller at one or both ends. The victim's ankles are fastened to one roller and the wrists are chained to the other. As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet attached to the top roller are used to very gradually stepwise increase the tension on the chains, inducing excruciating pain. By means of pulleys and levers this roller could be rotated on its own axis, thus straining the ropes until the sufferer's joints were dislocated and eventually separated. Additionally, if muscle fibers are stretched excessively, they lose their ability to contract, rendering them ineffective. http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...9&postcount=72 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=148 Last edited by lightgiver; 10-06-2012 at 11:20 PM. |

The Quran mentions Sirius in Surah 53, An-Najm ("The Star"), of the Qur'an, where it is given the name (al-shi'raa.) The verse is "That He is the Lord of Sirius (the Mighty Star)." (53:49) It is We Who have created you. Why, then, do you not accept the truth? Have you ever considered that which you emit? Is it you who create it? Or are We the Creator? Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing. And that He creates the two mates - the male and female -From a sperm-drop when it is emitted. http://www.crystalinks.com/sirius.html http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...2&postcount=95 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=137 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180168 Last edited by lightgiver; 15-06-2012 at 02:42 AM. |

![]() Some historical linguists presume that all languages go back to a single common ancestor. Therefore, a pair of words whose earlier forms are distinct, yet similar, as far back as they have been traced, could in theory have come from a common root in an even earlier language, making them real cognates. The Gion/ Festival (祇園祭 Gion Matsuri?) takes place annually in Kyoto and is one of the most famous festivals in Japan. It spans the entire month of July and is crowned by a parade, the Yamaboko Junkō (山鉾巡行?) on July 17. It takes its name from Kyoto's Gion district... ![]() This festival also serves as an important setting in Yasunari Kawabata's novel, The Old Capital which he describes it along with the Festival of the Ages and the Aoi Festival as "the 'three great festivals' of the old capital. This festival originated as part of a purification ritual (goryo-e) to appease the gods thought to cause fire, floods and earthquakes... ![]() A mikoshi (神輿 or 御輿?) is a divine palanquin (often improperly translated as portable Shinto shrine). Shinto followers believe that it serves as the vehicle to transport a deity in Japan while moving between main shrine and temporary shrine during a festival or when moving to a new shrine. Often, the mikoshi resembles a miniature building, with pillars, walls, a roof, a veranda and a railing... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showt...162415&page=72 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=395 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=946 Last edited by lightgiver; 16-06-2012 at 11:51 PM. |

Tao,called The Brave, ruled over the last of the local kingdoms of the Theban region of Egypt in the Seventeenth Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period. He probably was the son and successor to Senakhtenre Ahmose and Queen Tetisheri. The dates of his reign are uncertain, but he may have risen to power in the decade ending in 1560 BC or in 1558 BC (based on the probable accession date of Ahmose I, the first ruler of the eighteenth dynasty)... With his queen, Ahhotep I, Seqenenre Tao fathered two pharaohs, Kamose, his immediate successor who was the last pharaoh of the seventeenth dynasty and Ahmose I who, following a regency by his mother, was the first pharaoh of the eighteenth...
Mummified head of Seqenenre depicting his battlewounds... ![]() Seqenenre's mummy was discovered in the Deir el-Bahri cache, revealed in 1881. He was interred along with those of later, eighteenth and nineteenth dynasty leaders, Ahmose I (his second son to be pharaoh), Amenhotep I, Thutmose I, Thutmose II, Thutmose III, Ramesses I, Seti I, Ramesses II, and Ramesses IX, as well as the twenty-first dynasty pharaohs Psusennes I, Psusennes II, and Siamun. Seqenenre Tao participated in active diplomatic posturing, which consisted of more than simply exchanging insults with the Asiatic ruler in the North. He seems to have led military skirmishes against the Hyksos and, judging from the vicious head wound on his mummy in the Cairo Museum, may have died during one of them...The wound on his forehead was probably caused by a Hyksos axe and his neck wound was probably caused by a dagger while he was prone. There are no wounds on his arms or hands, which suggests he was not able to defend himself...Until 2009 the main hypotheses have been that he died either in a battle against the Hyksos or was killed while sleeping; A reconstruction of his death by Egyptologist Garry Shaw and a weapons expert suggested a third, which they saw as the likeliest, that Seqenenre was executed by the Hyksos kin...According to Masonic authors Robert Lomas and Christopher Knight, Hiram Abiff would have been Egyptian king Seqenenre Tao II, who met an extremely similar death...his mummy is the worst preserved of all the royal mummies held at the Egyptian Museum...

Grave robbery, grave robbing, or tomb raiding is the act of uncovering a tomb or crypt to steal artifacts or personal effects. Someone who engages in this act is a grave robber or tomb raider. A related act is body snatching, disinterring a grave for the purpose of stealing a corpse rather than for stealing other objects...In modern times, grave robbers are often lower-income individuals. Grave robbers sell their goods on the black market. Though some artifacts may make their way to museums or scholars, many end up in private collections instead...Ancient Egyptian tombs are one of the most common examples of tomb or crypt robbery...Grave robbers often sold stolen Aztec or Mayan goods on the black market for an extremely high price... Laws have been enacted in these regions, but due to extreme poverty, these grave robbings continue to grow each year...

Psusennes I was the third king of the Twenty-first dynasty of Egypt who ruled from Tanis (Greek name for Dzann, Biblical Zoan) between 1047 – 1001 BC. Psusennes is the Greek version of his original name Pasebakhaenniut which means "The Star Appearing in the City"
![]() The Star of David is a generally recognized symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism. Titkheperure or Tyetkheperre Psusennes II , was the last king of the Twenty-first dynasty of Egypt. His royal name means "Image of the transformation of Re" in Egyptian.. Psusennes III was the High Priest of Amun at Thebes (976 BC – 943 BC) at the end of the 21st Dynasty. Little is known of this individual; he is thought by some to be the same person as (King) Psusennes II... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showt...=125366&page=7 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...8&postcount=47 |

The Book of the Dead is the modern name of an ancient Egyptian funerary text, used from the beginning of the New Kingdom (around 1550 BC) to around 50 BC. The original Egyptian name for the text, transliterated rw nw prt m hrw is translated as "Book of Coming Forth by Day". Another translation would be "Book of emerging forth into the Light". The text consists of a number of magic spells intended to assist a dead person's journey through the Duat, or underworld, and into the afterlife...Similar practices were followed by followers of the cult of Orpheus, who lived in southern Italy and Crete in the 6th–1st century BC...
A mantra commonly associated with Mañjuśrī is ...OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI...In Tibetan Buddhism Manjushri is sometimes depicted in a trinity with Avalokiteśvara (Tib. Chenrazig) and Vajrapāṇi (Tib. Channa Dorje)...This man tra is believed to enhance wisdom and improve one's skills in debating, memory, writing, and other literary abilities. "Dhīḥ" is the seed syllable of the mantra and is chanted with greater emphasis and also repeated a number of times as a Decrescendo...The "Book of emerging forth into the Light". is made up of a number of individual texts and their accompanying illustrations. Most sub-texts begin with the word ro, which can mean mouth, speech, a chapter of a book, spell, utterance, or incantation...At present, some 192 spells are known, though no single man uscript contains them all...Such mantras as 26-30, and sometimes mantras 6 and 126 relate to the heart, and were inscribed on scarabs... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=287 |

Hathor (ḥwt-ḥr, Egyptian for Horus's enclosure), was an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of love, beauty, music, motherhood and joy. She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as “Mistress of the West” welcoming the dead into the next life.. In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth, as well as the patron goddess of miners...Sculpture of Hathor as a cow, with all of her symbols, the sun disk, the cobra, as well as her necklace and crown...
![]() The cult of Hathor pre-dates the historical period and the roots of devotion to her are, therefore, difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults who venerated the fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows...She also was described sometimes as mistress of the necropolis... The assimilation of Bat, who was associated with the sistrum, a musical instrument, brought with it an association with music... In this later form, Hathor's cult became centred in Dendera in Upper Egypt and it was led by priestesses and priests who also were dancers, singers, and other entertainers...Hathor also became associated with the menat, the turquoise musical necklace often worn by women. A hymn to Hathor says...Thou art the Mistress of Jubilation, the Queen of the Dance, the Mistress of Music, the Queen of the Harp Playing, the Lady of the Choral Dance, the Queen of Wreath Weaving, the Mistress of Inebriety Without End... According to the Hebrew Bible, the golden calf (עֵגֶּל הַזָהָב ‘ēggel hazâhâḇ) was an idol (a cult image) made by Aaron to satisfy the Israelites during Moses' absence, when he went up to Mount Sinai.In Hebrew, the incident is known as ḥēṭ’ ha‘ēggel (חֵטְא הַעֵגֶּל) or "The Sin of the Calf". It is first mentioned in Exodus 32:4. Bull worship was common in many cultures. In Egypt, whence according to the Exodus narrative the Hebrews had recently come, the Apis Bull and the bull-headed Khnum were comparable objects of worship, which some believe the Hebrews were reviving in the wilderness; alternatively, some believe the God of Israel was associated with or pictured as a calf/bull deity through the process of religious assimilation and syncretism. Among the Egyptians' and Hebrews' neighbors in the Ancient Near East and in the Aegean, the Aurochs, the wild bull, was widely worshipped, often as the Lunar Bull and as the creature of El. Its Minoan manifestation survived as the Cretan Bull of Greek myth. In India Nandi (a bull) is said to be the vehicle of Lord Shiva and is therefore prayed to by many Hindus...Hathor had a complex relationship with Ra. At times she is the eye of Ra and considered his daughter, but she is also considered Ra's mother. She absorbed this role from another cow goddess 'Mht wrt' ("Great flood") who was the mother of Ra in a creation myth and carried him between her horns. As a mother she gave birth to Ra each morning on the eastern horizon and as wife she conceives through union with him each day...In the back of the principal structure at the Dendera temple complex in Qena Egypt there is found the goddess Hathor Horns crown although the face is now destroyed but the crown still on place with all its information in relatively good conditions... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=121 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=131 |

The parable begins with a young man, the younger of two sons, who asks his father to give him his share of the estate. The parable continues by describing how the younger son travels to a distant country and wastes all his money in wild living. When a famine strikes, he becomes desperately poor and is forced to take work as a swineherd. When he reaches the point of envying the pigs he is looking after, he finally comes to his senses...
The parable is referenced in the last verse of the traditional Irish folk tune "The Wild Rover" ("I'll go home to me parents, confess what I've done / and I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son")... http://www.comparativereligion.com/prodigal.html http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=304 Last edited by lightgiver; 14-09-2012 at 10:22 PM. |

I think it is important to clarify that there is no ‘Bible’ of Freemasonry.
I accept that orders in the U.S. might, by tradition, choose to view this differently. However, in Europe (and I speak for the U.K. more specifically) there is only the VSL. The Volume of Sacred Law is not a ‘Masonic’ text but instead represents the core teachings of whichever religion or philosophical device the candidate holds most dear. There are certainly Fms that swear on the Holy Bible of the Christians (a number of versions) as the VSL and there are many that do not. To ‘Lightgiver’; you might find the following link useful as you seemed unsure about the origin of the term ‘Sodom’ or ‘Sod’. The Theosophical Glossary by Mme::H.P.Blavatsky http://theosophy.org/Blavatsky/Theos...Thegloss.htm#s Hope you found this useful. Regards, Jachin |

The ancient Egyptian word Wedjat signifies blue and green. It is also the name for the well known Eye of the Moon, which later became the Eye of Horus and the Eye of Ra as additional sun deities arose. Indeed, in later times, she was often depicted simply as a woman with a snake's head, or as a woman wearing the uraeus. The uraeus originally had been her body alone, which wrapped around or was coiled upon the head of the pharaoh or another deity...

Den, also known as Hor-Den, Dewen and Udimu, is the Horus name of an early Egyptian king who ruled during the 1st dynasty. He was the first to use the title King of Lower- and Upper Egypt, and the first depicted as wearing the double crown (red and white). The floor of his tomb at Umm el-Qa'ab near Abydos is made of red and black granite, the first time in Egypt this hard stone was used as a building material. During his long reign he established many of the patterns of court ritual and royalty used by later rulers and he was held in high regard by his immediate successors...

![]() Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egypt specialists. These various forms may possibly be different perceptions of the same multi-layered deity in which certain attributes or syncretic relationships are emphasized, not necessarily in opposition but complementary to one another, consistent with how the Ancient Egyptians viewed the multiple facets of reality. He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine, or as a man with a falcon head.Horus served many functions in the Egyptian pantheon, most notably being the god of the sun, war and protection.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rci5H3D48Rg Quote:
