Sun Worship ► The Mysteries Pt 16 ►William Cooper ► 03.30.1993



"And the sixth Masonic writer who confirmed that the North was a place of darkness was Carl Claudy, who wrote in his book entitled Introduction To Freemasonry: '...the place of darkness, the North.'

"And the reason the Masons do not include the North in their rites is found in the Bible...[in the Bible]...[repeats: The reason] the Masons do not include the North in their rites is found in the Bible in Isaiah, chapter 14, verse 13: 'I [meaning Lucifer] will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the North.'

"The God of the Bible sits in the North, and Lucifer hopes one day to acquire the throne of God for his throne. But, until then, the 'North is a place of darkness.' But, while the north is an excluded territory, the east is the 'place of light,' and is to be revered. Mr. Hutchens tells his readers why that is so: '...the East -- the source of light, and thus knowledge.'

"Albert Mackey quotes Etienne Francois Bazot, a French Masonic writer in his Encyclopedia: 'The veneration which the Masons have for the East...bears a relations to the primitive religion whose first degeneration was sun-worship.'

"Rex Hutchens then tells his readers that the masons deploy lights around the Lodge room during the initiation ceremony for the 25th degree called the Knight of the Sun. [And] he writes: 'The ceiling should be decorated to represent the heavens with the moon, the principle planets and the constellations Taurus and Orion. A single powerful light, a great globe of glass representing the sun, is in the South. In a typical sense the greater light comes from the sun and the transparencies provide lesser light...symbolically, the sun or great light is the Truth and the lesser lights are man's symbolic representation of Truth.'

"Mr. Mackey further discusses this Rite of Circumambulation, as he calls it, in his Encyclopedia. He says that the rite: 'exists in Freemasonry...the people always walked three times round the altar while singing a sacred hymn. In making this procession, great care was taken to move an imitation of the course of the sun.'
