Cult of Aton - part 14: The Priory of Sion

As the readers of this blog know, this site is full of examples of esoteric hidden in plain sight symbolism. Most of the examples are of recent times, but that doesn't mean "the Elite" didn't know how to do it a long time ago.

Here is a picture from a book called Livre du Cœur d'Amour épris from 1457. See anything strange?

If you haven't studied hidden in plain sight symbolism, you might not see anything out of the ordinary. But if have, you might see something interesting going on with the man laying on the ground. See how the lance leans against the tree? See how the legs of the man are placed? Can you see the familiar pattern?

Yes, there is a hidden masonic logo on this picture.

And to underline this masonic theme, there is a winged helmet in the middle. The reference here is to the Greek god Hermes (or Mercury in Rome), which is a well known symbol of Freemasonry. (Read more: The Fazer Rooster)

"Mercury, as known to the Romans and as Thoth by the Egyptians, the god Hermes, is considered by Pike to represent the Master of the Lodge." (Russell R. Boedeker, 32nd degree Freemason)

Of course one could claim it's all just a coincidence. But if you look at the context of this picture, you'll see it's far from coincidence.

The book was written by Rene d'Anjou, a learned man of the hermetic traditions and the esoteric arts. He was the king of Naples, Jerusalem, Sicily, Aragon, Majorca and Corsica, and the Duke of Bar, Lorraine and Anjou.

Rene was a man of many titles, but the most important title he ever had was the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion. Yes, he was a leader of a powerful secret society.

As a name, the Priory of Sion became better known to the public after the Dan Brown novel Da Vinci Code. With this book "the Elite" tried to give ordinary people the impression, that the Priory of Sion is just some fancy fiction. And we must admit they succeeded in it quite well. There is huge amount of people who still consider the Priory of Sion as a fictional brotherhood from a fictional novel.

Publishing Da Vinci Code was a counter move for the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, in which the authors of the book were able to present many proofs for the existence of the Priory of Sion.

The brotherhood was presumably established at the late 1090's under the name of Order of Zion right before the creation of Knights Templar. According to the great researcher and author Michael Tsarion, the esoteric roots of the order go to 1070's and Egypt.

"The earliest reports on the Order of Zion concern its creation in Alexandria Egypt by an adept calling himself Ormesius (or Ormus), who concerned himself with "blending" Egyptian paganism and Christianity. In 1070, Ormesius took his new order to Italy and then, later, on to France. In France his order was headed by arch-crusader and knight, Godfroi de Bouillon. At this time the order was renamed "Ordre de Sion.""  - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

The close ties between the Knights Templar and the Order of Zion are obvious. Godfroi de Bouillon was the first Grand Master of both orders. One could say the Order of Zion gave birth to the Knight Templar, but that would miss the bigger picture. Both of these orders were established by the same royal Atonists families of Europe - the same people behind Culdean and Cistercian orders. (Read more: Culdean Order and The Birth of The Knights Templar)

"From the same womb that bore the Templars came the Order of Sion (or Zion). This order hailed from the same Templar cities of Burgundy and Champagne. Undoubtedly, its heads were the same coterie of secret Culdeans, Jews, and Kabalists who had accompanied Godfroi and Baldwin to Jerusalem and guided their hands there. The elite members of the Order of Sion are believed to own over 10,000 castles in France alone." - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

Godfroi de Bouillon

In 1188 the Knights Templar and the Order of Zion parted ways. The same year Order of Zion changed its name to the Priory of Sion.

"Until 1188 the Ordre de Sion and the Order of the Temple are said to have shared the same Grand Master. Hugues de Payen and Bertrand de Blanchefort, for example, would thus have presided over both institutions simultaneously. Commencing in 1188, however, after the 'cutting of the elm', the Ordre de Sion reportedly selected its own Grand Master, who had no connection with the Temple. The first such Grand Master, according to the "Prieure documents', was Jean de Gisors. 

In 1188 the Ordre de Sion is also said to have modified its name, adopting the one which has allegedly obtained to the present the Prieure de Sion." - Baigent, Leigh & Lincoln (Holy Blood, Holy Grail)

"The Order of Zion was the invisible head organization and the Knights Templar its military and administrative branch. Up to 1188, these two orders had the same grand master. The Knights Templar saluted each other with: "Hail, Zion!" or "Zion be praised!"" - Jüri Lina (Architects of Deception) 

The history of the Priory of Sion is long and colorful. Studying the details of its history is somewhat difficult, because it's so shrouded in mystery. Still, one could say the Priory of Sion has been very involved with many secret societies and brotherhoods, such as Templars, Rosicrucians, Freemasons and even the infamous Illuminati. According to the great Michael Tsarion, the founder of Illuminati, Adam Weishaupt, was secretly doing the bidding of Charles de Lorraine - the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion. According to Jüri Lina, the Priory of Sion was behind the Scottish Rite Freemasonry.

"As early as 1614, the mystic Robert Fludd (grand master of the Order of Zion) started the secret Rosicrucian movement in England. After him came Thomas Vaughan and Elias Ashmole. The Rosicrucians intended to take over the lodges of the freemasons. The Prieure de Sion was the secret organization that created the Scottish Rite within freemasonry in the 1700s." - Jüri Lina (Architects of Deception)

The symbol of the Priory of Sion is the fleur-de-lis. This is a very common symbol in heraldry used by many royal families across Europe. It can still be seen in many places. Many people think that fleur-de-lis represents France, but think again. The symbol has been used for a long time all over Europe.

The symbol itself represents the Nile Delta, the country of the Hyksos and the birth place of the Cult of Aton. The name Sion, or Zion, is a reference to the Hyksos capital Avarice. The city was also known by the name Zoan, which became later Zion.

"Scholars surmise that the Templar-Freemasonic order takes its name, Sion (pronounced sheeon), from the first letters of the holy family of Egypt - Set, Isis, Osiris and Nephthys. These four deities were sacred to the ancient Egyptians as well as to those with ancestral ties to the land of Egypt. And this, together with the implications of the term "Zion," gives us our connection to the Egyptian Cult of Aton. The Atonist Levites had occupied the Hyksos city of Zoan, or Zion, also known as Avaris - the real City of David. The word Zion comes from the Irish Zon that denoted the sun, as well as sun-worshippers. This proves that the Levites were dyed-in-the-flesh sun-worshippers." - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

Cult of Aton - part 13: Culdean Order and The Birth of The Knights Templar

Recommended to read first: The Milesians.

When the Milesians invaded Ireland, it was basically a clash of two Sun cults - the Druids and the invading Atonists. The former were the original Sun order, the latter a corrupted Egyptian version of it.

According to Irish legends, a war broke out between the two factions immediately after the arrival of the invading Milesians. Since the Irish Druids were allies and a religious counterpart to the Amenists of Egypt, this war was inevitable sequel to the civil war of Egypt.

The Milesians managed to invade Ireland - and later on the British Isles - but destroying Druidism turned out to be much more difficult. For hundreds of years they did their best trying to kill the Druids, with some success, but they just couldn't finish the job. Destroying Druidism wasn't achieved until the Milesians found a powerful ally with a great military machine - the Romans.

After the Roman invasion of Britain, the Romans did the bidding of the Milesians by starting a systematic slaughter and mass killings of the Druids of the British Isles. Later on this ruthless cleansing was finished by the Christian Church and the so called "Saint" Patrick.

"Saint" Patrick: "Behold, I have cast out the serpents from the land!"
There were no snakes in Ireland. The reference is to the Druidic priestly class - "the serpent priests"

There is a hint of irony in what happened to the Cult of Aton in Ireland and the British Isles before the final destruction of the Druids. During the hundreds of years of coexistence, Atonism slowly adopted many Druidic elements.

The Atonist-Milesians established a religious organization called the Culdean Order, which was a strange combination of Atonism and Druidism. What the history books won't tell you, is that this Culdean Order was the main institution in the birth of Christianity. They established many churches, monasteries and schools which became important academic centers.

"The Culdees, who later on established schools and colleges in this country for the teachings of arts, sciences and handicrafts, are said to have derived from the Druids." - Nesta Webster (Secret Societies And Subversive Movements)

"The name by which the British Church was first known in these lands was the Culdee Church, the natural result of Christianity having been introduced by the Culdich or - "refugees". -- The Culdees established Christian churches, monasteries and colleges, chiefly in remote places. -- Eurgain, daughter of Caradoc and wife of Salog, Prince of old Sarum, found a college of twelve Christian Druids (Culdee Initiates) at Caer Urgan, or Llantwit Major. This college must therefore have been established in the first century" – Isabel Hill Elder (Celt, Druid and Culdee)

"The Atonists realized that their materialistic objectives could be achieved if they manufactured a religion that appeared to be a follow on from ancient Druidism. [...] In the early days, this religion was actually known as Culdeanism, or as Jessaeanism. Early Christians were known as Culdeans, Therapeuts, or suggestively as Galileans. Although they would be found spread throughout Europe and the Middle East, their origin was Britain." - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

Did you know that the second pope of Rome, Linus, was the son of a British royal Claudia Rufina, who was living in Rome?

"Finally, we come to the last of the characters mentioned in the verse from Saul's Epistle to Timothy, and his name is Linus. It is this final name that links up all the others and demonstrates that Saul-Josephus was indeed speaking about this influential Romo-British family and not some other individuals of the same name. This Linus was most definitely Linus, the second bishop of Rome (pope), and he is said to have been the son of Claudia Rufina, the wife of Pudens Pudentius who we have just mentioned." - Ralph Ellis (King Jesus: From Egypt (Kam) to Camelot)

Of course, the motives for this new religion were more materialistic than spiritual. For psychopaths, religion is means to an end - nothing more.

"Indeed, a close study of history reveals that, despite appearances to the contrary, religion is less of a concern to despotic men or regimes than politics and economics. Religion is often instrumental to those secretly attempting to attain material power. This is especially true in the case of the Milesian-Atonists. The chieftains of the Sun Cult did not conceive of Christianity for its own sake or because they were intent on saving the world. They wanted to conquer the world not save it. In short, Atonist Christianity was devised so the Milesian nobility could have unrestricted access to the many rich mines of minerals and ore existing throughout the British Isles. It is no accident the great seats of early British Christianity - the many famous churches, chapels, cathedrals and monasteries, as well as forts, castles and private estates - happen to be situated in close proximity to rich underground mines. Of course the Milesian nobility were not going to have access to these precious territories as a matter of course. After all, these sites were often located beside groves and earthworks considered sacred by natives not as irreverent or apathetic as their unfortunate descendants. The Atonists realized that their materialist objectives could be achieved if they manufactured a religion that appeared to be a satisfactory carry on of Druidism. If they could devise a theology which assimilated enough Druidic elements, then perhaps the people would permit the erection of new religious sites over those which stood in ruins. And so the Order of the Culdees was born. So, Christianity was born."  - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

"The truth concerning the birth of Christianity, which has been guarded by the Vatican and the various secret societies, is that it was a religion devised by British nobles, those descended from the Gaels and Scythians, who sought dominion over valuable mining territories in Britain, France, Europe, and the East. After its invention, Christianity was transplanted to the Middle East. The reason for this has partly to do with the similarity of Christianity's main protagonist, Jesus, and the ancient god Iesa." - ibid

Esus or Iesa - the carpenter Sun god of Ireland

Rome became the administrative center of Christianity, but the theological center was on the British Isles.

"The Atonist nobility knew it was impossible to organize and control a worldwide empire from Britain. The British Isles were geographically too far West for effective management. In order to be closer to the “markets,” the Atonist corporate executives coveted Rome."

"Once we understand that Atonist Britain was the first and true incubator of Christianity, a lot of historical mysteries are solved. When we understand how the story of Jesus was transplanted to the East from the West, we have complete insight into all that has transpired throughout the ages since Christianity took birth. Uncovering the occult history of Christianity helps us expose modern tyranny. It enables us to understand what is being planned for the future by those at the top of insidious Christian institutions.”  - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

At the early medieval period, all the ancient mystery schools of the Druids were destroyed. The era was truly dark medieval times. The only places that could offer at least some kind of higher education and knowledge were the schools of the Culdean Order.

During that time Ireland was the academic center of all of Christendom. Monks who had studied in Ireland were considered as great learned teachers. These monks were in high demand in all over Europe. Among many, the Emperor Charlemagne invited Irish monks to his court.

"The state of learning on the continent of Europe at that time, wherever the influence of the Roman Church was dominant, was at a very low state or non-existent. It was only in the monastic establishments maintained at different points on the continent by the monks of the Irish Church that learned men were to be found. There were practically no learned men in the Roman Church at that time. Even a century later when the Emperor Charlemagne espoused the cause of the Roman Church, he had to get Irish schoolmen for instructors to teach in the palace school which he established." - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

Because of this high demand for educated Irish monks all over Europe, another order was established. The Cistercian Order became the Continental European version of the Culdean Order. Behind it were the same royal Atonist families as with the Culdees.

Over time the Cistercian Order came to be in control of the vast network of monasteries and academic centers all over Europe. This allowed the order to become a very influential and rich organization, that owned huge amount of lands and estates.

Coat of arms of the Cistercian Order

It was during the first crusade, when another order was established as a military wing for the Cistercian Order. And so the Knights Templar was born. Their official name The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon is laughable. The Templars were anything but poor.

In the emblem of the Templars one can see two soldiers on one horse. Obviously two solders on one horse could not be the way to fight in a battle, so one must understand it is symbolic. The two riders represent the union of Mile and Scota - the alliance of the Scythians and the Hyksos.

Emblem of the Knights Templar

Another emblem of the Templars is the crown and cross with the text "In Hoc Signo Vinces". It represents "the Elite's" autocratic (Knights Templar) and theocratic (Cistercian Order) modes of control. The same idea is in the symbol of the Princes of Masonry, the double-headed eagle.

"In Hoc Signo Vinces" = "In this sign you will conquer"

The double-headed eagle of the Princes of Masonry

"As we show here, the Templars were the military wing of British and European Atonists. It was their job to conquer lands, slaughter rivals and rebuild the so-called “Temple of Solomon” or, more correctly, Akhenaton’s New World Order. After its creation, the story of Jesus was transplanted from Britain, where it was invented, to Galilee and Judea. This was done so Christianity would not appear to be conspicuously Druidic in complexion. To conceive Christianity in Britain was one thing; to birth it there was another. The Atonists knew their warped religion was based on ancient Amenism and Druidism. They knew their Jesus, Iesus or Yeshua, was based on Druidic Iesa or Iusa, and that a good many educated people throughout the world knew it also. Their difficulty concerned how to come up with a believable king of light sufficiently appealing to the world’s many pagan nations. Their employees, such as St. Paul (Josephus Piso), were allowed to plunder the archive of the pagans. They were instructed to draw from the canon of stellar gnosis and ancient solar theologies of Egypt, Chaldea and Ireland. The archetypal elements would, like ingredients, simply be tossed about and rearranged and, most importantly, the territory of the new godman would be resituated to suit the meta plan." - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

Cult of Aton - part 12: The Milesians

The end of Akhenaton's reign in Egypt was in no way the end of the Cult of Aton. After the expulsion of Akhenaton and his Atonist supporters, the Cult of Aton fragmented to different branches. One of the most important chapter in this history of fragmentation is the movement of some powerful Atonists from Egypt to Western Europe. This is the story of Mile and Scota.

Hyksos kings - the creators of the Cult of Aton in Lower Egypt - had many allies around the Mediterranean. One group of their allies was called the Scythians. These people lived on the shores of the Black Sea, but they were Celts who were originally from the British Isles. The great scholar Michael Tsarion believes the Hyksos were ethnically related to the Scythians.

"The Atonist coterie, who were expelled along with Akhenaton were, like the pharaoh himself, members of this Hyksos dynasty of wealthy and powerful kings and priests. The Hyksos, we believe, were connected to, and possibly identical with, the Scythians of Northern Europe. These Scythians were Celts (or more correctly Gaels) displaced to Europe after the Age of Catastrophe. They were, we believe, originally from the British Isles. If, therefore, it is true that the Hyksos and the Israelites were one and the same people, as serveral investigators now allege, it means that the Israelites were in fact, in their earliest incarnation, Gaels from the North-West. We believe the legends and the etymology prove this to be very likely." - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

Alliances are made by marriages. One Scythian royal prince called Mile was married to Meritaten, the daughter of Akhenaton, also known as Scota. Mile and Scota lived in Egypt in Akhenaton's court, and were among the expelled Atonists after the civil war between Atonists and Amenists.

Scota / Meritaten

Instead of seeking refuge in some Mediterranean royal court, Mile and Scota decided to go back to the lands of their forefathers - Ireland - with a large coterie of supporters. In Irish mythology this group of invaders was called Milesians.

"After the fall of Akhenaton (1400 BC), Scythian-Hyksos-Atonists made their way Westward to later invade Spain and Ireland. These conquerors - known in Irish mythology as the Milesians - were responsible for the destruction of the Druids. One of their elite members was Atonist Princess Meritaten, daughter of Akhenaton and Nefertiti. She was also known as Scota, a name derived from Scuti or Scut, by which Scythians were originally known. After the Milesian-Atonist invasion, Ireland was given the name Scota. Later, the Irish took their princess's name to Scotland ("Land of Scota" or "Land of the Scots or Scythians"). The Scythian-Hyksos-Atonists were none other than the "Israelites" and "Judites" of the Old Testament. A study of their symbolism leaves us in no doubt of this." - ibid

Scottish rite of Freemasonry - the name refers to Scota

But why on earth would some royals living in Egypt move to Ireland? Did they even know about such a place?

Yes they did. And this is the part the official history books do not want to discuss. Ancient Egypt had a very special connection to ancient Ireland. It was the Druids of Ireland who came to Egypt as Wise ones and Elders, and brought with them the wisdom and knowledge of the ancients. It was the Druids who planted the seeds of the great civilization of Egypt.

"Those who became known as "Jews" were, however, originally neither Israelites nor Hebrews, and were not racially Semitic. The term Hebrew (and possibly also Jew) comes from the Old Irish Iur, and the Irish Gaelic Ibur or Iburu meaning "Yew Tree," or "Men of the Yew." The yew tree was considered very sacred to the Druids and Egyptian Magi. The Ibaru (or Ibri, Abri, or Abari) turn up in Egypt as the "Wise Ones" or "Elders." The letter "H," added as a prefix, simply meant "the," and so the word Hebrew meant "the Ebru" or "the Ibaru." This is the origin of the word Iberia which signified Spain and Hibernia which signified Ireland. The word rabbi is a rendition or variant of this ancient name Abari or Ibaru. The Ibaru were Druidic Elders who had traveled to Egypt in remote periods and who had brought solar worship there. They were probably akin to the predynastic Shemsu Hor or "Disciples of Horus," the tall, fair-complexioned, technically proficient race whose remains were found in tombs in Nubia by the eminent archaeologist Professor Walter B. Emery." - ibid

For example, did you know the first pharaoh of the first dynasty traveled to Ireland, and was in fact buried in there?

"The first pharaoh of the first dynasty of Egypt, and founder of the great city of Memphis, King Menes is buried in Northern Ireland. [...] It is not surprising, therefore, that he should have wished to travel to Ireland, the original homeland of his ancestors." -ibid

Pharaoh Menes

The special meaning of the West for Egyptians can be seen in the titles of the Egyptian god Osiris:

"The mightiest of the gods, king of Lower Egypt, He who is seated upon his throne, Bull of the West, Conqueror of Eternity, Representative of the Stars, First of the Westerners, Lord of the West." - Adolf Erman (A Handbook of Egyptian Religion)

Osiris -  First of the Westerners, Lord of the West

It is also very likely that Nefertiti (the mother of Scota and first wife of Akhenaton) was from a family of Western origins.

"The Caucasian features described by Sir Elliot Smith are to be seen on the face of Queen Nefertiti, her sister Mutnodjmet (wife of Pharaoh Heremheb), and her daughter Meritaten (Scota). Indeed, there is little doubt in our minds that Nefertiti and her family were of Western ancestry. This explains why Scota, her eldest daughter, traveled to Ireland by way of Spain after the fall of Akhenaton's corrupt dynasty and why her grave was found, not in Egypt, but in Ireland's County Kerry." - Michael Tsarion (The Irish Origins of Civilization)

Nefertiti

So it was not at all strange for Mile and Scota to move to Ireland. But there is more to it.

The civil war during the reign of Akhenaton was between two solar cults - the Amenists and the Atonists. The former were close allies to the Irish Druids. Obviously the Atonist party of Mile and Scota had a grudge against the Druids of Ireland. So they came to Ireland as invaders with a revenge in their mind.

"More importantly, these legends [early myths] show us that it was indeed Akhenaton's Atonists who made the journey West after their expulsion. The story of Mile and Scota is the story of Akhenaton and his descendants. It is the story of the true Israelites. In short, the Milesian conquest of Ireland, was the Atonist conquest." - ibid

"What interests us is that these Milesians, the descendants of Celts from Scythia, have been linked with the Israelites whose exodus from Egypt occurred after the fall of Akhenaton around 1300 BC. Historians date the Milesian invasion of Ireland to approximately 1000 BC, but we believe it to have occurred at a few hundred years earlier. This is because a daughter of Akhenaton, named Scota, is believed to have accompanied the Milesians on their journey to Ireland. Her real name was Meritaten and she (or a namesake daughter) is buried in Country Kerry." - ibid

So the Atonists invaded Ireland thousands of years ago - so what?

There is a reason why it's important to know the story of the Milesians and the movement of the Cult of Aton to Western Europe. It's the Milesians that connect the dots between Akhenaton and the modern day "Elite".

But that's another story.
