The brothers, in the light
INTRODUCTION
This work represents a remarkable effort by Gabriel López
de Rojas, Marta Riera, both
different professions. The first is a writer and founder of
Masonic orders-such as
Order Illuminati and Societas OTO (Ordo Templi Orientalis),
and possesses a high degree in several Masonic rites:
Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraim, Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite ... and of course, Rito
'Modern' of Iluminados of Bavaria, which is the creator.
Marta Riera is a journalist and music, with
extensive experience in various media, and also inclined
towards the opening. The difference
the trajectory of the two authors has led to both a mutual
enrichment.
Prior to reading the book, one should consider that this is
always a novel. And
This means that although the data are provided on the
Masons and other organizations are initiatory
in accordance with a ninety per cent of cases the truth,
throughout the pages is a small margin
improvisation to a small room for the imagination to its
wide ride. This needs
taken seriously, as always after the "wise men" of the day
trying to tear down the building that
well-grounded, high and adorned with the excuse of any tiny
crack.
A point to bear in mind is that the authors are their own
and a criterion that is why
position at the time of narrating situations and think
about real issues that are taboo,
mainly Masonic contexts. We refer here to issues such as
rough legend luciferina
Hiram Abiff, Masonic tendencies that are rejected from the
'regular', the rightist progressive
the Masons, the infiltration of undesirable elements of the
same ...
Before you start reading this book, the reader should also
bear in mind that the authors seek
express in it the greatness of the Masons, trying different
trends (traditional or Masonry
regular and irregular Freemasonry Freemasonry liberal or
hidden or marginal, according to some
authors) and its major branches. The Masonic obediences and
branches that are addressed by the work of the Grand Lodge
Eighteenth-century London, the Grand Orient of France, the
Bavarian íllunati, Golden Dawn, the OTO and the Rite of
Memphis-Misráim, among others. This does not prevent the
plot to encourage authors to take leave
include an 'conventiculo' Club seudosatánico the Fire of
Hell.
From the plot, it must be said that English is the hero
Richard Holbein, and that the argument is
search of the lost word, the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the
treasure of all treasures. Hero and
argument used to excuse to revisit the history of heterodox
form of the Masons, the aforementioned
trends and branches, their problems, secrets and mysteries
veiled more ... It should be read as
anecdotal data that are cited in the novel even retejo the
highest degrees of Scots, something never
published in Spain.
 Soon we left to add, except that the paths and beliefs of
the two authors have been
critical in determining the plot of the novel. The novel
flows from the depths of both, where
There is a wealth of knowledge, experiences, memories and
especially the presence of God's
Light, which illuminates any work.
We hope that within a phrase that honors the God of Light
closing this introduction, because
we believe that is true. We want the reader to meditate on
it before going on an adventure that
expected. The phrase is "Cum luce, salutem 'or, equally,'
with light, salvation.

THE BOOK
"A true initiation never ends,
a search can take a final. "
AUTHORS
June 1725. Yalding, Kent, England
Without doubt, the book was funny. Carefully written and
bound in parchment paper, offered a
very different from the others who filled to overflowing
the magnificent library which Richard
had inherited.
The book, barely an inch tall, it seemed old, though well
preserved, and was sliding ido
into the deep dense shelf where it was. No title on the
cover, only
showed a small golden triangle embedded on the skin. On the
first page, and writing a letter
rich and ornate, showing a name: "Count of Saint-Germain."

Richard won the light of the book and slowly found the room
where he was. Library ...
A mysterious place to which his father, the late John
Holbein, it had not allowed access to their children. A
despite his insistence, Richard was able to glimpse from
the door jambs of the great space is
stores hundreds of books, many of them handwritten, that he
had treasured year after year
his grandfather, Isaac Holbein. Richard did not know their
grandfather because he died long before he
reach the world. Anyway, old Isaac had no relationship with
his son John after he had cast
of the great house of Yalding, the family home. The bad
language Holbein Isaac said they never forgave
 that his son embraced the Anglican religion, but is also
rumored that what really caused his anger
was that his son deny his Jewish roots and embrace,
Christianity, marriage after his fifty-nine
years with a couple of barely thirty.
Holbein the mansion of the finished building to 1570, under
the austere gaze of Thomas Holbein,
son of the great painter Hans Holbein. Hans was court
painter of King Henry VIII, great friend of Erasmus and
protected from Thomas More. Everything a character. He died
of black plague epidemic that ravaged the great in London
1543.
Richard returned to focus on the library, which could
finally set foot in it ... His father
had died in the spring of 1705, when he, his only son, was
about to turn thirteen years.
After that, his mother, Sarah, Sydney, daughter of one of
the most illustrious families in the county of Kent, south
of England, sent him to study in the city of Canterbury. At
present, twenty years later, newly
completed the thirty-three and after the death of his
mother, finally took possession of his family heritage: the
large house in Yalding, in the heart of Kent. And the first
thing that Richard had done, of course,
had come into the library.
With the book firmly grasped, sat in the big chair in front
of the imposing fireplace. We opened
Again, went smoothly the first few pages and stopped to see
a mysterious header: 'History
hidden treasure of Hiram Abiff. "Hiram Abiff ... What it
sounded like that name? Sure! Of the Old Testament!
As I had learned as a child, King Solomon built the temple
that his father could not build the
legendary King David. To this end, with the invaluable help
of a great expert sent by King Hiram of Tire
I also sent all kinds of materials, including gold and
precious wood, which arrived in Jeru-Salem by the sea. If
Richard did not remember wrong, the story could be read in
the Old Testament, both in the books of Kings
as in the Chronicles ... But what was the treasure of the
Count Saint-Germain in his book?
At that moment, a servant interrupted his brooding upon
entering the residence to light several
spark plugs. Although the days slowly stealing some time at
night, darkness had already begun
to cover the corners of the library. Again alone, Richard
began to read.
 "The Tire King Solomon sent to an artist who lived in the
spirit of wisdom, Hiram Abiff. Hiram was
son of a woman from the tribe of Naphtali, and a worker of
brass called Tiri Ur. was a master mason
with great knowledge, intelligence and expertise to work
gold, silver, bronze, iron, marble, wood ... Hiram
Abiff had under his command to proselytize 153,300, among
whom were 70,000 apprentices, 80,000
officers or partners and 3,300 teachers. They recognized
each other by secret words,
signals and touches, different for each category.
"When the construction of the temple of Solomon came to an
end, three colleagues wanted to know
Secrets of the teachers and enjoy their grade, so they
decided to address Hiram Abiff. A first
official bet Noon at the gate of the temple, and Hiram
leave the compound, he made his demand. In the
Hiram refused to reveal the secret, the first partner is
dealt a blow to the neck with a ruler or
bar. So Hiram Abiff tried to flee through the door of the
West, but there it was awaiting the second
partner, after trying to get the secret and get a negative

in the chest with a squadron of iron. Finally, when Hiram
trying to escape through the door of the East,
was the third officer, who before the resistance of the
master architects of the secret he Disclosure
Tipping a great blow on the forehead with a hammer and
killed him.
"The murderers buried the body of Hiram Abiff and far from
Jerusalem's Mount Moriah, where they erected the
temple. "King Solomon, at least miss Hiram, ordered that
new teachers find it. When they arrive at
a place away from Jerusalem and had been taken to rest on a
small hill, they noticed that the earth
was removed. So they dug in that place there and discovered
the body of Hiram. Again
bury the master mason, and able to recognize the place,
planted over a branch of acacia. Later,
Solomon gave Hiram Abiff to move to Jerusalem. "
Richard adjourned the hearing of the book. This strange
story about the murder did not appear in the story of
Bible ... Forgetting the late hour, he continued with his
reading. "The house that King Solomon built a
Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.
Before the temple was erected a portico
twenty cubits long ... "The text continued to spread into
 the details of the building and
their ornamentation. Richard remembered well all of this,
read on some occasions during his years in
Canterbury. Anyone Releyó quickly fragment. His eyes
stopped when I read the following:
"Solomon had built in the deepest part of the temple a
sacred vault, which only
could be granted access twenty-four descending a ladder
rungs, split into sections of three, five, seven
and nine, whose location was known only by the king and by
teachers who had worked there. In this
vault, built at the great temple that was about it, King
Solomon took place a pedestal
triangular where he recorded the various signs of the
secret apprentice, peers and teachers
Freemasons. In this secret place, was finally buried Hiram
Abiff, and he was saved by the greatest treasure
that one man can imagine. A treasure most brilliant and
powerful than all the gold that Solomon used
to cover the walls of his temple. The treasure of
treasures. "
Richard felt a strange feeling to read those last words.
Although pleasant and polite, Richard Holbein never had
very close friends, and over the years
had become a lonely little man. You could say that he had
grown up under the layers of the clerics
Saint Augustin's Colle-ge of Canterbury and, despite the
religious atmosphere of the place, no one could say that
they have managed to become a man of faith. Doubts about
almost everything he had caused
more severe punishment for his years of study. Only knew he
was looking for answers, answers
to the divine and to the field, answers that silence their
hunger for knowledge, answers to fill
light of his solitary way.
Any story that could not be a mere legend, at least not for
Richard. He spent the pages of the book
until the end, and there, under the signature of the Count
Saint-Germain, seleía clearly: 'London, 1685. "
Perhaps, with luck, could still find the count or a
descendant of his in the capital, so
get more details about the treasure of Hiram Abiff. The
next day, which dawned clear, if somewhat cold,
Richard Holbein, on the back of his horse, went to London
via Maidstone and then up to the
north.
London could be a very tricky if you did not know well.
Once in the capital, Richard crossed the
Thames by London Bridge and headed resolutely towards the
Thames.
San Pablo is also a major place of worship, was also a
major center of information and
business. In the surroundings could be hired from servants
to make good deals with horses
o. .. find those persons who are looking for. So, without a
moment's hesitation, and despite the
Darkness reigns in the streets surrounding the church, the
couple walked with Holbein pitapat direction
a small tavern, El Manzano, run by a skinny cejijunto and
Dutch, who knew very well
their youth raids.
After a somewhat rapid march, Richard came to the tavern,
opened the door out of breath and spotted his old
Dutch friend in a corner.
- What you know, friend, the Count of Saint-Germain? He
asked, approaching the dark corner.
- Conde de Saint-Germain? ¿You mean the famous Count of
Saint-Germain, the Portuguese? -Asked the
Dutch surprise at the haste of the young.
French-or Portuguese or whatever. Yes, I speak of him, the
Count of Saint-Germain. Surely he will
dead, but maybe you know some of his son or a close
relative ...
The innkeeper looked at him surprised, his only eyebrow
raising to a height incredible.
"Lord, Count Saint-Germain comes regularly to my humble
tavern. In any case, if no
you hurry, the count tends to go to the tavern just beyond
the eight and meets with friends.
Oh, my God! That was it! Chance! How was this possible?
Richard had the feeling of being
living a dream but a dream run by a mysterious hand that
would put him in the way
pieces of a big chess game.
After dinner frugally and drink good beer, Richard was
ready to wait.
I looked slowly around him, where hardly distinguish the
faces of the other parishioners. The
bar smelled of wine, food and stale, but what was
inexplicable that turns a simple
a welcoming place. Lost in thought and with eyes fixed upon
the vacuum, Richard said no entry
a gentleman of tall, elegant habit, which was discovered
after a beautiful blonde hair. After
department in a low voice with the owner of the premises,
the newly arrived gentleman approached the table he held
Richard.
-Good evening, sir. I understand that you have reported,
wanted to see me ... Let me introduce myself: I am the
Count Saint-Germain. And it seems you want to know. What is
the reason?
The count seemed to radiate a strange light around him.
Richard quickly got up to greet him and noticed that the
mysterious aristocrat was the same height.
While Holbein was slightly darker hair and complexion and
wavy brown, both shared the blue
of the eyes.
After show, Richard explained the reason for his trip to
London, and while it was extracted from its
faltriquera found the little book in the library of
Yalding. With an enigmatic smile, Saint-Germain
took the copy in his hands. And gave a soft sigh, fixing
his gaze into the eyes of Richard,
syllabication slowly three words: "I have found."
After a few seconds of silence, the count decided to talk
in depth.
In all the years I have been waiting, I have not ever given
a moment to despair, I have not hesitated
ever that the mission that I was going to succeed. But I
admit that I was
difficult to endure the long wait. Relax, everything has an
explanation added to the silent count question
Richard, who was beginning to understand nothing. " Perhaps
you are one for which I expected. But in any
If I appeal to your patience to hear my story to end. Then
you will be free to choose the path
to follow.
Richard, who was believed ready to handle almost
everything, he realized that the last comments
descolocado him completely and decided to ask.

-Before you continue, Count, I would ask you to tell me if
someone told you about me ...
No, no, you do not. And do not bother because apeado
treatment, but I think you know
many years, but this is the first time I see you. Again I
appeal to your patience and your
understanding. I beg you to listen to me carefully and soul
open and free of prejudice.
"Knowledge has never been available to single men, but men
of God have always
could shed light into the darkness of ignorance. So I
decided to approach them to get some light.
In the land where I come from, the priests have always had
a lot of power and the kings in a sense
have followed their dictates. It was they, the priests, I
got to know the history of Hiram Abiff,
a story hidden behind a veil of discretion must know.
After a pause of several seconds, the Count Saint-Germain
continued speaking, slowly dropping
their words.
-I was born and raised on the river Nile, the Egyptian city
of Thebes. A city largely devoted to God
Amon and directed by its high priests. They were the ones
who educated me and I started in science and
hidden knowledge. Iuput, high priest of Amon, was the one
who told me what happened to Hiram Abiff, the
mason who built the great temple of Solomon.
Saint-Germain was paused, it took air and continued
lowering your voice.
-What I said was Iuput only a few years had happened. That
makes more than 1,500
years ...
Count Richard was taking his time. Inside the couple had
been engaged in a struggle between
its a strange natural rationality and intuition told him
that this could be true, for it was inconceivable
might seem. Is that the Count Saint-Germain was immortal?
But ... What have I to do with this, according to you?
"Asked Richard.
Let me continue with my story and get to that. According to
the priests of Egypt, Hiram Abiff, the
Masonic hero par excellence, was finally buried in the
temple of Jerusalem with a great treasure, the
treasure of treasures.
Masons believe was present in the most hidden temple in the
sancta sanctorum, but may
If not.
The key to search on the word is lost. That word leads to
the place where
actually the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure of
treasures that are there. Priests prepared me
thoroughly so that I could undertake the search, but most
can not and need someone
I happen.
"Now, Richard, just tell me if you want to undertake the
search for the missing word that leads
to the tomb and the treasure of Hiram Abiff. But keep in
mind something very important: If you log in,
have to abandon your loved ones, those who know you,
because your journey can take many
years and may not accompany them.
"I know the decision is difficult. So, dear friend, I ask
you to think and meditate at length. I
be waiting for your answer here.
The Count smiled, and added a sentence with categorical
tone. I know that I am not mistaken you. In a few
seconds, Richard thought he had heard anything that night
and knew without a doubt that what happens
had elected him. Who had no say, or miss any of it. His
mother was the last person
to which was attached. I had no friends or relatives with
whom they were not love those who yearn ... Of
Indeed, Richard was not in love before. Even, on occasion,
had heard some
maledicientes comments casting doubt on their manhood. The
truth is that Richard is attracted to women ...
and men, which increased even more, his introversion.
No, the truth is that Richard did not have anyone who
goodbye.
Conde, "replied Richard, you might not wait. I want to go
down this road. I just hope your
indications. Although I do not know if my life will be
sufficient to reach the end of the search.
-We do not need to worry, was quick to explain the count.
Life is just an illusion, and
such, may vary. Remember my age no longer have value for
many, many years. Once I
Iuput promised to get you, he gave me to drink the nectar
from the tree of knowledge, which
succeeded in slowing me over the years and I became a
trustee of the flask with sufficient nectar as
not to have to worry about the time lag. The man, in his
infinite pride and impatience,
put borders while believing they can dominate. And believe
me, that vision was narrow and material
that the time beat. You can live the years needed to
complete the search, Richard. In your
hands are.
With a gesture almost invisible, appeared in the Count's
hand a small bottle made of amber that
contained a thick, dark liquid. Approached his open hand
toward Richard, that rested on the
table. The couple took a tiny vial and noted that the
opening was sealed. - What should I do now?
-Above all, keep the container carefully you just give. As
for the nectar, you must

taking a fast food. Only
drink water. Rest a lot and walks through the countryside,
watching the beauty around you and thinking about
the greatness of creation. When the sun sets, go to your
room on your bed and stretch. Takes
then the nectar. Unknown sensations notice, but do not be
scared, with the passage of time your body

otherwise known to exist. The day you will see the
birthplace of the world in a different way, with a new
costume
will last many years, perhaps centuries.
Richard kept the vial carefully and slowly stood up. It
dismissed the Count of Saint -
Germain, agreeing to meet again once it had completed the
takeover of nectar.
When he left the tavern was closed completely at night. A
thick fog, which calls for a few
travelers to return home, began to creep through the
streets in London. Richard moved towards the
inn where he had to stay overnight, and decided to make the
most of your life. Thought that the
Book Saint-Germain had entered into the adventure more
exciting than ever could
imagine.
The day chosen to take the nectar coincided with the summer
solstice. Richard had read about old
traditions, which still kept many who spoke of the magic
that enveloped the hours that
Spring gave way to summer. Many were those who believed,
despite the efforts of the Christian priests,
in the power of nature and all that was: trees, rivers,
mountains, animals ...
He got up early and, following the signs for Saint-Germain,
failed to bite throughout the day, and took
water often. He left the house and headed down a path into
the quiet forest
began near the mansion. He walked for several hours,
stopped to rest and reflect on everything
I watched as he had indicated. The day passed off
peacefully and friendly, and gave way to a beautiful sunset
chaired by Venus, the bright star, the brighter star in the
sky after the Sun and the Moon.
Then Richard went to his bedroom and, after removing all
his clothes, stretched himself out on the bed. Took
small vial and, helped by a sharp letter opener, carefully
break the sealing. Approached the bottle
the nose and noticed a strong odor resinous marearle once.
Breathe deeply and smell to dismiss without
delay, it took until the last drop of the contents of the
vial.
After leaving the bottle on the floor, Richard himself out
on the bed. Closed his eyes and tried to relax. Little
recently began to feel as if your body to lose weight ...
He opened his eyes and hands looked surprised. A
Although the low light of candles, found no difference in
their appearance. But the sense of
weightlessness increased to the point that he felt as if
there were virtually no support in the bed. Little
Recently, a strange torpor had been invaded and took him to
a dark and deep sleep. And Richard dreamed. Dreamed of
strange worlds of cyclopean proportions, unknown landscape
bathed in red lights, with a dream
be wonderful attributes that showed women and men at once,
which invited questions and
discuss their most hidden desires ...
When I finally awoke, he had the impression that he had
received a sort of initiation and also felt
afraid that the nectar would have become excessive. He
opened his eyes with fear and almost immediately was
looked at his hands, arms and the rest of his body. Good!
Everything seemed in order. He stood up carefully,
because he hurt his head a little and noticed a slight
dizziness. He went to a polished mirror that had at its
dressing room. Take a relieved to be reflected in its
splendid nakedness. Perhaps he had no nectar
Indeed ... But a moment! Where was the scar that he had
since childhood in the thigh of the leg
right, the result of a fall of horse? Richard was quickly
next to a window and bent over for the brand. Do not be!
Then there was a comprehensive review
throughout the body, looking for differences, and realized
that he had disappeared a few
white hair started to appear in the head and other body
parts. I was
clear! The nectar had worked!

September 1725. London, England
During the summer, Richard Holbein was gradually getting
used to its new status immortal.
Externally, the couple had not changed. The absence of
marks on the skin and white hair was not
enough for others to suspect anything unusual. Despite
that, Richard could not help feeling
aversion to a certain face to face with those who knew him.
Fortunately, only his loyal butler
I saw him frequently and, due to age and poor eyesight, not
noticing the changes that had occurred there.
Another thing was the change inside. Define your new status

summer, the Count Saint-Germain in large part to quell
doubts about his immortality, but could not
tell how he had come to be so comfortable being so
different.
-Actually, my young friend, is found to be immortal,

you can also enjoy the company of some people can even take
a liking to more than one ...
But Richard, you must always keep in mind that these people
may not accompany you in your search. Lo

Most important, never forget who you are, and what you're
looking for. The search for the missing word,
the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure of treasures that
are there can be long.
Through these and other phrases, Saint-Germain Richard
deposited in the mood enough to undertake the
search, although he warned of the problems it entailed.
-Immortality, believe me, it's only an anecdote of the
time. The gods have given you a gift and you must
exploit. Hiram Abiff's treasure is waiting and you can find
out.
September was rainy and desapacible. After one night of the
count dismissed in El Manzano, Richard
began his search in another London pub where he knew that
met some gentlemen who claimed to be
Freemasons, ie builders, and Hiram Abiff. In this case, the
name of the tavern was the Crown.
Saint-Germain had briefed Richard on certain meetings that
were taking place on Thursdays at dusk
La Corona. According to the Count was able to find out,
thanks to its good relations with certain noble
London, where it met with some members affiliated with the
Masons came from notable
families in England. With such limited data, Richard
entered the venue chosen.
After asking the innkeeper for the gentlemen who met here
on Thursday, just that day, he indicated that
was directed towards the bottom of the dark room filled
with tables and benches. Once there, a large distinction
leading to a curtain aside. Lifted the curtain and found
the sight of six men who
seated around a table, watched him with curiosity.
__Disculpen, Gentlemen. I would not want to interrupt your
conversation. My name is Richard Holbein and come
of Yalding in Kent.
__Decidnos, Sir, "replied the man who seemed older. Why
come to us?
__Mi Desire is to know how to contact the Masons or
Freemasonry. I understand it, by rumors that
in this tavern can tell how to contact them. What can you
tell me, gentlemen?
"Asked Richard.
- A couple interested in the Freemasons! Exclaimed one of
these while the rest were watching.
- Do you have a contact address, sir? "Asked another of the
meeting quickly.
Richard looked at his pocket and extracted a note with your
details and address, then it
delivered to the group. All ojearon note. They went to look
at each other and the individual who performed the first
asked again to speak.
I am the brother John, a member of the Grand Lodge of
London, and I must say that we are
Freemasons. If desired, we will contact you within a few
days. What do you think, sir?
Richard could only mumble an affirmative response, nodded
her head and was committed.
After outlining a shy smile and say once again, gave three
steps back and disappeared quietly
behind the curtain. For a moment, felt that he had taken
the first step in the right direction;
missed call, the tomb and the great treasure of Hiram Abiff
and not so far.
The days of waiting before the notice was unbearable for
the young Holbein. During the day, he read and reread
the mysterious book of the Count Saint-Germain, trying to
decipher new secrets. At night, could hardly
rest wrapped in strange dreams. Would the product of the
strange situation or nectar Count
was extracted from the tree of knowledge and had taken to
support the long quest? One night
dreamed that he was in a sort of tunnel that appeared on
its way to small beings indicated
one direction. In the end, walked an aisle and went to a
vaulted room empty, where a sign read: "The
search has no end, and insiders know it. "When you wake,
increased state of anxiety. Hope
was pleasant.
Four weeks after the meeting at the tavern, a letter from
Richard warned that it was now
a time to meet with Mason in London and the anxiety
gradually decreased. Was relaxed by walking

appointment. At noon on Monday following the announcement
mail, on the back of his horse, went to London.

built the Gothic cathedrals of the Templars and the Ancient

Egypt. We are moving in a field
speculations and everything is possible.
The younger Holbein recalled that moment in the explanation
of the Count Saint-Germain on Iuput, sumo
priest of Anion, and the Egyptian priests, and felt a chill
at night. All this
would have any relation? Is there a link between the
Egyptian priests of Iuput, the temple of Jerusalem,
Hiram Abiff, the Templars, the Freemasons, and when the
Grand Lodge of London? Brother John became
his seat and continued staring at his explanation to
Richard.
The truth is that part of the Masons cree that the Masonic
mysteries of Egypt were
transmitted to the masons who built the temple in
Jerusalem, the Architects of Dionysus, the College
Roman Architects, the masons who built medieval Gothic
cathedrals and the Masons
which we represent as Grand Lodge of London. Regarding
Hiram Abiff, should be considered
several issues. After the death of King David, his son
Solomon continued the construction of the temple
Jerusalem, and we chose Mount Moriah. For the work Solomon
had the assistance of Hiram, King Tire
I made a lot of material to construct the building. Tire
Hiram also sent to Solomon
many Masons, among them Hiram Abiff, the master teachers.
He was the son of a woman
of the tribe of Naphtali, and a worker of brass called Ur,
which means "fire, light, and was
mysteriously killed while he prayed in the temple and the
work was nearly completed. It is believed that the
principle
was buried on a nearby hill under an acacia in the temple
and then in the most hidden: the
sancta sanctorum.
Richard thought that the explanation roughly coincided with
that of the Count Saint-Germain, and was
a first hint, but decided to take another step forward and
try to learn something from the tomb of Hiram
Abiff and mysterious treasure.
-I read the book that the tomb of Hiram was in the temple.
I says you, sir, that
found in the hidden part of the temple: the sancta
sanctorum. I also read in a book containing
Treasure ...
Brother John looked so again while a pair of lovers are
going ahead.
Down a tone, approached him and whispered in the ear:
-The treasure can be no Masonic mysteries and secrets
revealed, especially to the layman or non -
initiated and the location of the royal tomb, not token, we
could also talk a lot, but it seems
that was in place that I have cited.
"Curious," thought Holbein. The Mason of the Grand Lodge of
London had given explanations very
specific clarification of the explanation of the Count
Saint-Germain. The Grand Lodge of Masons
Hiram considered a symbol of initiation, we also recognized
that the royal tomb had not been
found and says that this tomb contained mysteries and
secrets. Leaving aside the symbolism is
could be talking about the Grand Lodge Masonic know some
very important secrets. But
How to find the grave? Richard recalled the explanation of
the Count Saint-Germain, who drew the
Freemasonry and society that had lost the word and the key
leading to the tomb and the treasure.
Brother John, after a silence, then suddenly pointed a
finger at a pair of men looking
aristocratic walking down the street and told him that
Richard was aware of it, and found to be
with them. One, he claimed, had belonged to the Hell Fire
Club, a sort of secret society
to recreate the pre-worship and paganism. Acquaintances
approached and gave John a stranger
handshake, then Richard recalled his reading and thought it
was another two of the Freemasons
Grand Lodge of London.
- Oops evening! Gives the impression that the devil can
appear in person. I am the brother Smith,
Knight said the higher rate, which came and strengthened
the hand of the younger Holbein.
I am the brother Frank-added companion, who, incidentally,
was a very effeminate
but beautiful.
Following the presentations, the night was still dark and
there was a tense silence. All looked and
Richard ventured to ask nearly as whisper for his
initiation into the Masons, who was at the end of the
their way out, the way forward in the search for the word
that led to the lost tomb of Hiram
Abiff and the treasure that was in it.
Well, I think we are all together. Or missing someone? He
asked, as Holbein
introduction.
-We all need to be answered Smith's brother.
That is pointed brother John.
Ladies and gentlemen, because ..., I am interested in
joining the fraternity, and said so
Richard categorical. I do not know if rainfall or the time
is right, I only know that I want to be initiated as
Mason in the Grand Lodge of London that you represent.
The three looked freemasons and brother John broke the
silence.
-Dear Richard, who contacted us since we have been watching
and know what kind of
person is. Today has shown. You, sir, is a search engine
and in principle no problem for

the initiation, which most likely will occur next Friday,
November 13, will be helpful to
inside. No qualifying with profane readings.
Three masons continued the conversation with Richard for a
few minutes. Finally got up and
fired him. Meanwhile, Richard's imagination and what stood
in the Masonic Temple, investigating
missed word that reveals the location of the tomb of Hiram
Abiff and the treasure of treasures. The Mason
Holbein and dismissed the couple disappeared amid a growing
cloud. Three or four days later,
Richard was told that due to the Crown pub on Friday,
November 13, at nine
of the night. Until the day of initiation, and again the
anxiety dreams. In fact, the dream was repeated
which led to a vaulted room empty, but on the poster read
another sentence: "You've met almost three
years and the search has just begun. "
On November 13 of 1725, Richard Holbein was dressed
elegantly in front of the
The Crown pub, ready for launching at the Masonic Grand
Lodge of London. Brother John, with
extreme punctuality, went to meet him, greeted him with
some serious and led him inside the tavern, which
was now turned into a sort of Masonic lodge. After crossing
the gate,
Richard could hardly see anything because a brother gave
him blindfolded and deprived him of anything more light
across the hall. He noted that was lost in a strange series
of walks led by Mason that he had
tapado eyes, a strange and terrible coach brother, to paint
a rather gloomy
of black, the Chamber of Reflection, where he regained
vision. Then the brother coach, with the face
almost hidden, turned to him.
-Knight, will begin the ceremonies of your admission to the
Order of Freemasonry in
spontaneous response to your request. If at any time you
repent of the step you are going to give, services,
indicármelo ...
"Indicármelo, indicármelo, indicármelo," said Richard in
their thoughts. "Damn, I have pain
head thought. The brother continued the coach explained.
-... Fijaréis your attention on the inscriptions found in
the walls of this chamber and in the
objects that surround you, reflect on them and then
responded in writing to the questions contained in a
role that you leave on the table.
The brother was a coach on the triangular table and Richard
had to respond to the three
questions written on it: 1. What will be the man of God? 2.
What is self? 3. What would be a

the younger Holbein went to

which was above ...) and prepared
Conveniently, that is, in shirtsleeves, with his arm and
nipple and left uncovered with the knee
right into the air.
He noted his naked arm and leg, too did not understand what
was happening and felt a little ridiculous, while
that Brother expert tapaba venda a vision with him and
tried to listen to and understand phrases
was said in the lodge, next to the room. Managed to hear
the name of the lodge was the Crown and was
headed by a Venerable Master, nothing more and nothing less
than his brother John. At that moment, Richard
teacher heard a phrase in his mind: "Fear is the mother of
initiation."
Upon entering the lodge without seeing anything, a
multitude of questions and "initiatory journeys' through
the inside of it
finished sound to Richard too good for what I expected and
distracting thoughts
on Hiram's treasure. Suddenly, a few phrases of Venerable
Master directing initiation returned him
to the actual situation of that moment. Indices of which
part of your body that you want to remove
blood ', "said the Venerable Master John with great
sobriety. So said Richard shrunk his hand
left and noticed that the sweat began to run down his
chest. The Venerable Master ordered the brother
preparer do their duty and Richard squeezed teeth while
sweating even before the court that
coming. But he noticed how a sword he cut almost, but not
to consummate the request of the venerable.
Finally, a few other 'journey of initiation and other
evidence led Richard to a final part of the
launching no less disturbing.
Richard made an oath on the Bible that ended with a little
reassuring words: "... Follow
the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of London, its statutes
and general regulations, laws, decrees and
provisions, and that I preferred the neck before cutting to
miss my promises. "He thought at that time
that the oath should be as symbolic as the cut of the sword
and the first degree, which
practically already begun, could not have much to do with
the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure
contained, because the degree seemed a preparation for
learning rather than a source of secrets
and Masonic mysteries.
After the initiation, the brothers of the lodge Crown
affectionately hugged Richard three times
and together they marched to celebrate a meal next to
another tavern. In it, the brothers of the lodge
Crown brothers drank and ate, talked and explained the
initiation of disputes with other
Grand Lodges. Richard, as a guest star, pretty tense
initiation suffered by the evidence,
simply made act of presence and sought to be polite.
Richard discovered also that a portion of the hermaos were
very conservative and against
the latest activities of a famous aristocrat, the Duke of
Wharton, who was Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge, elected in 1722, and leader of the Hell Fire Club of
English at the same time. In late 1725, the
aristocrat was curious about to convert to Catholicism for
the love of a young Irish, Mary
10
Teresa O'Neill. He also set up in Madrid, Spain, the
Spanish first Masonic lodge, Las Tres Flores de Lis
or Matritense and reneged on part of the Grand Lodge.
Richard recalled, upon hearing the negative comments
towards the Duke of Wharton, the Venerable
Master John had explained that one of the two brothers who
questioned him before they start
was a member of the Club. Brothers Frank and Smith had
attended the launch and were in the meal. Why
do not continue the search in the Freemasons and the
mysterious English Club at a time? Why not try
contact a member of the brothers of the same? Richard noted
the brothers Frank and Smith, not
or separated from each other a moment, and the two appeared
to have a special relationship. Would the two
Club members of the Fire of Hell who had said the Venerable
Master John? What mysteries
Richard waited for him a suggestion? Perhaps it was early,
too early to know.
CLUB OF THE FIRE OF HELL
"Son of Cain, have your destination
take it with imperturbable face ...
When you're not on earth,
the militia of the workers will join under your name,
and the phalanx of workers, thinkers,
abatirá one day the blind power of kings,
such despotic ministers of Adonai.
Go, my son, meet your destiny. "
Gérard de Nerval, Journey to the East
July 1747. London, England
Between 1726 and 1747, Richard aged Holbein not thank
elixir of Count Saint-Germain and was able
continue the search for the missing word, which was leading
to the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the
coveted treasure. In that search, he went to the Masonic
lodge as Apprentice, Companion was launched in 1732,
attended meetings of the lodge as a companion a few years
and was affiliated to the Club del Fuego
Hell from 1731 until 1746, and then took a sabbatical. The
truth is that the move by the Masons
of the Grand Lodge and the Club's Fire of Hell is not
served to Richard to find the desired word
Lost in reality, only helped him figure out where I had to
go towards your search and to awaken
The first suspicions of those who did not understand why
still a young, almost twenty
years after his Masonic initiation.
The list of Masonic words and comments on them that Richard
developed as potential
candidates to speak while he lost the first two grades
(Apprentice and Fellow) of the Great
Lodge was the following:
Lodge
The lodge is a temple where Masons meet and hold their
ceremonies and assemblies. The word
logia meaning "house of wood or stone where the workers
work away from the weather."
The word logia relates loka with the Sanskrit word, meaning
'world', and derives from the root lok,
'See', alluding to the light. Symbolically, the lodge is
along the East and West, along
from the north at noon, and in depth from the surface to
the center of the Earth and reaches its height
to the stars. There seems to have a relationship with
place. Discarded.
Columns in the loggia
The columns are supported by the buildings at different
levels. In the Judeo-Christian tradition
are the symbol of connection between the high and low. The
columns of the temple of Solomon were of cedar and
bronze. The two columns of the Masonic lodge (Jakin and
Boaz), marked with the letters' J 'and' B 'represent
two principles: the masculine and feminine, positive and
negative, right and left ... The lodge
Masonic has four columns, labeled "columns of order ': the
Corinthian, the Doric and Ionian, is
say, the columns of wisdom, strength and beauty. The fourth
column remains invisible as it
deals with the supreme intelligence. At first, I thought of
the possibility that Boaz and Jakin might be
missing word, but then I realized that would never be so
easy to find. The word is missed
more hidden, it is less accessible.
Boaz or Booz
Name one of the columns of the temple of Jerusalem in the
days of Solomon. Was placed in
portico of the temple. Hiram Abiff was founded by order of
Solomon. In Hebrew, came to mean something
as "inner strength", although in the Masons was a sacred
word. As said before, it is discarded.
Jakin
Name one of the columns of the temple of Jerusalem in the
days of Solomon. Also
placed in the portico of the temple, through the
construction work of Hiram Abiff. It means strength,
stability and
strength, and can also mean "God is my strength." Out by
the reasoning more
up.
G
11
According to the English Masonic ritual, represents God
(God is' God 'in English). When it reverses the
word is derived dog god, ie 'dog'. Curiously, the first God
of mankind was a dog
Sirius called, "the Sun behind the Sun." It is possible
that this is a missing word, but not an
name indicates the area where you can be grave. Discarded.
East
Is the direction where the sun rises, and therefore where
the Light. According to tradition, there are two
currents: the East and West. In the East, metaphysics
dominates logic. In the West dominates the
logically separated from any metaphysical principle. In the
Masonic temple, the east welcomed the Venerable
Master or Grand Master, and it was the sancta sanctorum of
the temple of Solomon. The East eternal
is one that is home to the Freemasons who died on a
different level. Gives the impression that 'East' is not
defined
too much and lost is not the word that should lead to the
tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure.
For Richard, it was clear that those words were not lost to
the floor would lead to
tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure of treasures. In fact,
he was doing and test combinations
with all of them multiple, and the investment of the
lyrics, typical of Hebrew and Semitic languages, but was
not
able to find a single track.
Even at one point, also raised the possibility that the
missing word is the name
Hiram Abiff, but later thought that there was no time for
that name and address that possibility, and
commented that as he had some brothers of the Grand Lodge
of the mysteries of the character H. A.
belonged to the degree that he possessed, that of Master
Mason. However, a brother gave him
a curious story of Hiram Abiff legend who made him feel
that it could be the way of what
be found, not the word lost, but in principle a route to
get there. The text linked
Hiram Abiff nothing more and nothing less than an exciting
tradition luciferina full of names and phrases
strange, which might reveal the path leading to the floor
and lost the place where the
tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure of all treasures.
The text reads as follows:
"THE LEGEND OF Hiram ABIFF
"Hiram Abiff, somewhat desolate by the momentary failure in
the construction of the temple, left crying, and
then he dreamed the dream of his life, which forwarded the
purest tradition and luciferina
excelsa:
"From the red cast that shines in the darkness of night
stands a shade light. The Ghost
moving towards Hiram, which covers it with astonishment.
His bust is chaired by a gigantic dalmatic without
sleeves; iron rings adorn his arms bare, his tanned head,
embodied by a beard
square braid and fuzzy in several rows, is covered by a
gilded silver miter, holds in his hand a
blacksmith hammer. His eyes, large and bright, is posing in
Hiram and gently, with a voice that seems
plucked from the bowels of brass, he said:
, "Revives your soul, get up, my son. Come, follow me. I
have seen the evils that overwhelm my race and I
compassion on her ...
"Spirit-who are you? "Asked Hiram.
"-The shadow of your parents, the ancestor of those who
work and suffer. Come! When my hand
sliding on your face, breathe in the flame. Do not fear
anything. Never has shown weak ...
- Where am I? What is your name? Where are you taking me?
Hiram says
* At the center of the earth, the soul of the inhabited
world. There stands the underground palace of Enoch, our
father, who called Hermes Egypt and Arabia that honor with
the name of Edris ...
* 'Immortal Powers! Hiram exclaims. So true. Are you ...?
"Your ancestor-man, an artist ... I love you and your
employer. I was Tubalcaín.
"Take a dream and in the depths of the Earth, Tubalcaín

of the fire.
"In the bowels of the Earth, Hiram Tubalcaín shows his wide
range of parents Iblis, Cain, Enoch, Irada,
Mejuyael, Matusael, Lamech, Tubalcaín ... And the tradition
passed on to Hiram luciferina:
"At the beginning of time, there were two gods who shared
the Universe, Adonai, who was the master of the
field and the element Earth, and Iblis (Samael, Lucifer,
Prometheus, Baphomet), the master of the spirit and fire.

Elohim (gods side), they do not want
Man is created slave Adonai, awaken your spirit and brings
intelligence and ability to
understanding. While Lilith became a lover of Adam (first
man) and taught him the art of
thought, Iblis seduced Eve and fertility and, together with
the seed of Cain, glided within it a
divine spark (according to Talmudic tradition, Cain was
born of love for Eva and Iblis, Abel and the binding of
Adam and Eve).
"Later, Adam does not feel that contempt and hatred for
Cain, who is not his true son. Cain spends
inventive intelligence that comes from the Elohim to
improve the lives of his family, expelled from
Eden and wandering across the land.
"One day Cain, tired of the prevailing injustice and
ingratitude, rebelled and killed his brother Abel.
"Cain appears to Hiram Abiff unfair and explains his
situation, adding that over the centuries and
millennia, their children, sons of the Elohim and Iblis,
they will work tirelessly to improve the lot of men, and
that

Adonai, jealous after trying to annihilate the human race,
after the flood plan will fail thanks to Noah,
to be "informed by the children of fire."
"By returning to the limits of Hiram world tangible,
Tubalcaín reveals that it is the last descendant of
Cain, last prince of the blood "of the Angel of Light and
Iblis and Balkis also belong to the lineage of Cain,
it is the wife who is destined for eternity. "
The text of the tradition luciferina Richard impressed, and
showed that phrases and words, rather than
include the word lost, gave clues that it was the address
to be printed to
search. Richard was thinking with emphasis on "the center
of the Earth", "the underground palace
Enoch, Tubalcaín, Iblis ... and it was clear that the
Masonic master had closer to the desired word
lost. But what Obediencia Order or the Master approached
the word lost, following the real
luciferina tradition of Hiram Abiff? To find it, you should
still spend quite tiempo.Desde then, the order
was not necessary to continue the Club's Fire of Hell, his
other affiliations during the past years. The
Hell Fire Club, which had at one time led the late Duke of
Wharton, hardly
Club was an English libertine aristocrats. In fact, the
English high society continually grumbled
on the activities of it and saying that organized orgies,
attended dressed as prostitutes
nuns bacchanals authentic, although the club is not going
to be a group of aristocrats that off
its most hidden passions as much once a month.
In the club, coincided with the brothers Richard and Frank
Smith, and they strengthened their relationship with both.
In his
newspaper noted: "Meeting at the Club. We have come to a
thick forest in the middle of a very beautiful place. The
naughty Smith delighted us all this time and is the third,
with their feminine charms. Has no
remedy. "
In recent years, however, the Club had made the impossible
possible and to improve its image and
it managed to capture people in a social position more
established, less craving for nighttime revelry.
One of the new recruits was a young man named Francis
Dashwood, who would become his
leader shortly thereafter. Dashwood was not one either.
He remained forty years in the Houses of Lords and Commons,
and held the position of chancellor
Finance. Mason, initiated in a lodge in Florence in 1751,
bought the Abbey Club Medmenhan,
located in Marlow, near the River Thames, and joined it to
Venus, Priapus, and other deities
old, with the aim of leaving the most libertine and
recovered within the cult of the Club
Bone Dea or Great Mother Goddess. Dashwood then got to the
club to attract people like John
Stuart, Earl of Bute, who was appointed State Secretary in
the great Northern Department, the
Archbishop of Canterbury himself, or the Benjamin Franklin
-
Apparent before the reform undertaken by the Club dashwod,
the truth is that the only time in
Richard had thought of the Club as a place to find the word
was lost in a
encounter occurred in a tavern during his sabbatical year:
1747. The Reverend Peter, an acquaintance of theirs
Club and the Grand Lodge, which had left them just go by
you do not agree with their practices
and beliefs, he hailed from one end of the room.
__ Richard, brother! Cried the Reverend Peter very happy
and jovial, while his right hand raised
with a pitcher of beer.
- Peter, brother! What are you doing here? Richard replied
to approach the table and the Reverend
sat at his side after giving a Masonic handshake.
- You are as young as ever! What the hell must eat or
drink? Good to see you, young man --
said the Reverend.
The two men observed a brief silence, and looked out
'feats' of other esoteric
time.
-I was looking at the symbols that are foreign-bar and said
to Peter by a pointing
a finger coat of arms.
That shield is connected with the Order of San Jorge. Was
given to an ancestor of the owner of the
Tavern for their services rendered to the Crown. The Order
of the Garter which is its present name was
called Order of St George in the Middle Ages and the Crown
was represented by Richard explained with a
gesture of unconcern.
There is a curious story about the Order and one of its
symbols, which are in the shield: twenty-six
Garter hung a gold necklace on the phrase "Evil to him who
evil thinks is" related
Countess of Salisbury.
She lost a ball in a league and the king picked it up. When
someone laughed at her because she had a reputation for
Women
burning and to be the queen of witches, the king is placed
in the leg and said the sentence is at the crest
( "Evil be to him who evil thinks") in defense signal of
the queen of witches and witchcraft. I think the
Order of St. George was then related to witchcraft, "said
Peter whispering.
Both contertulios again become silent, perhaps meditating
on the explanation.
- How strange! Pensativo Holbein said. I once read a book
claiming that the league was the Blue
insignia of the queen of witches in the Middle Ages, but I
thought since it relates to the league that
appears in Masonic initiations.
Peter and Richard looked at the coat of arms, and became
thoughtful for a third time until the first
resumed the conversation.
13

-For me, the Order is related to two things: Freemasonry

and witchcraft exclaimed emphatically
Peter.
Brother, I respect your status as reverend, but should be
less radical, because no one league
means that three institutions related arguments of Richard
to the left ear in the form of Peter
whisper.
Well, well ... But ... Look, Richard, that there twenty-six
Garter golden shield hanging from the collar,
something that may be related to a mason word and a word of
Jewish Kabbalah, the name
known of the Great Architect of the Universe, the Masonic
God, Yahweh. Count the value of the consonants
as in the Cabala: Yod is 10, I, 5; Vau, 6 He, 5 ... Total:
twenty-six. Son of the twenty-six Garter
gold collar of the Order of the Garter Order of St. George,
or what you see on the shield. And the Masons
the Order of the Garter and St George are joined. There is
also a strange and intriguing relationship between the
Order of St. George and witchcraft by the monarchy.
Remember, brother, I do not like
pathways are unclear, as both the club know.
Richard blushed a bit while thinking about the bacchanals
Club Fire of Hell and that
perhaps it had received an inspiration from the Order of
the Garter and St. George, as the sisters
leagues used on their bare thighs and said "Garter" at
times as word of
recognition. Is it the word lost? Thought that the word
'Garter' could not be more than one
name as so many others.
Richard then explained to Peter that the conversation about
the Garter reminded him of an investigation
lost on the floor that he had led to the strange story of
Hiram Abiff. The allusion was not very
well understood by Peter, who, like all the "men of God"
had a certain tendency of evil
think and see the devil behind every corner. The Reverend
Peter reminded him at that time the dangers
posed to either move down slippery slope 'away from the
Lord, and Richard, for his part,
thought back on the word "Garter" and recalled a famous
American song which read:
To find the truth
one must move forward alone.
To find the truth
one must be himself.
No one can move forward by one.
No one can be oneself.
The two men fired at the door of the tavern a few minutes
later and never again
find, with the sad result for the word that Richard was not
the missing word 'Garter' that
pronounced sisters lewd Club Fire of Hell.
With the experiences in the Masons and the Hell Fire Club,
Richard Holbein, after the reunion
referred to the waiver and that the term 'Garter' was the
word he was looking lost, took the
determination to pursue the search of that lost word, and
the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the
greatest of all treasures, in order to work a master Mason
in the direction
had discovered the manuscript of Hiram Abiff. In principle,
analyzing the different possibilities
exist, this strategy seemed the most sensible.
Although attempts to find the missing word, the tomb and
the treasure had failed in the Grand Lodge
and the Club, he had opened a whole world of possibilities
and should take the best. It would be a matter of
do not rush and wait for the right time and place.
The Count of Saint-Germain during the meetings, he had
never guaranteed that the search was easy,
but be prepared for a long and winding road, as was
starting to really happen.
The last day of 1747, Richard Holbein was a very strange
dream. He dreamed that, after traveling a tunnel
dark it was leading to a vaulted room, was a tall and
bearded man who claimed to be the
ancestor of Hiram Abiff: Tubalcaín. Master T. gave a very
small chest, she said it was the
key path to be taken wrapped in mist and disappeared. At
the opening, Richard met a
shiny brass plate containing a date, 1774, and a few
phrases: "You are about to meet seven
years. You must move and go to Germany, because there you
will find an order that contains the secrets of Hiram
The order-Abiff you glow. "
When I woke the next morning, the young Holbein noted by
one of the crystals
rooms in his mansion the slight rain that fell on the grass
nearby and had the impression
marked that the dream of the future clearly, the path, the
path I was looking for to arrive at the
desired word lost. I thought I should wait until 1774 to
march to Germany and that it would seek
order to illuminate the mysterious. Recalled, immersed in
thought, that a mysterious association
Esotericism of Christian calling itself the Rosicrucian was
originally from Germany, but yours could
yet another organization to be known or publicized.
After the meditations, Holbein went to breakfast, that is,
to eat breakfast every day I was preparing
his butler. Just sit down, you came to mind the name of
Bavaria, a region of southern Germany
so romantic and beautiful. Then lifted the seat, looked a
map and located the region without problems
while finishing breakfast. In conclusion, the knight
Richard Holbein was very clear that in 1774 was
14
to leave Germany, and more specifically to Bavaria, seeking
an order that you may be delivered by the
famous words that were lost access to the tomb of Hiram
Abiff and the treasure of all treasures. What
new adventures and misadventures he awaited the good and
eternal Richard Holbein? What paths would
to travel on the long adventure that had begun two decades
earlier?
THE TRIP TO BAVARIA
"Man is born free, yet everywhere
is chained. Cree as it is the master of others,
when in fact it's really like them as a slave. "
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract
April 1774. Dover, England
Richard arrived in the town of Dover in the spring of 1774,
after leaving the affairs of their wealth in the hands
of a major law firm in London. Thus, it was free to make a
trip
which provided long and exciting, and which also may help
you find the lost word, the first
step towards the tomb and the treasure of Hiram Abiff.
The port city of Dover showed a frantic business. Large
ships with
impressive sails moored in port waiting to be downloaded
and re-loaded with all kinds of
goods, although the bales of cloth filled more abundant
than any other product.
Following information from a shipping agent, Richard
Liberty Holbein chose to travel to Calais, the
French city where he first put his feet on the European
continent.
With a lightweight luggage, which included the book of the
Count Saint-Germain, and without service
might hamper their movements, Richard embarked on May 1 in
France bound for Liberty. As
the vessel departed from the English coast, and while
looking at the cliffs that decreased in size
slowly, had the impression it would take a long time to
return to his beloved land.
During the trip, which was calm and quiet because there was
a calm sea, Richard took
to practice some French sailors of the ship. Anticipating
the future, Holbein had been studying
over the past two years French and German languages at key
moments to travel by
continent. Although his French was very academic, noted
with relief that could be understood
perfectly, and discussions with marine served to add words
to its already extensive
vocabulary.
With an optimistic mood and excited by the novelty of
knowing new countries, came to Richard
Calais ready to continue your search.
Once on land, stayed at an inn near the port, intending to
rest a few days and
decide which path to take. During the first night at the
inn, and took a while abundant
dinner, he was not able to hear the less lively
conversation that kept two gentlemen were enjoying having
dinner at
a table nearby.
Without any doubt, the king did not have much time left
-Reports coming out of the court are clear. Louis XV soon
leave this world and finally we
free from sin and misery that has spread throughout France,
said in a loud voice of
gentlemen.
- Keep your voice down! Are you crazy? The king has spies
everywhere, and dead or not, its power is very large --
exclaimed almost in a whisper her table.
__ So we will! Fear has impoverished and France have not
been able to combat poverty and
injustices. Would take many men as Voltaire read aloud what
happens in reality. The
people have lived oppressed by the most powerful, who also
encouraged to enhance superstitions
its influence on him.
Richard listened to that dialogue between the French
knights recalled that, years ago, had heard
speak of Voltaire in London. This well-known French writer,
was reputed to be terribly excited and
his writings, which often had done at the stake, had earned
the enmity of
nobles and ecclesiastics. Voltaire came to live in England
between 1726 and 1729, where he was performing
exile who was condemned because of one of its many
problems, in this case with
important Rohan in Paris. Richard was aware of Voltaire by
his brothers
Freemasons of the Grand Lodge of London, who explained that
the writer had belonged for French
his teens to a mysterious society of the Temple, known for
their licenses (possibly
close to the Hell Fire Club) and his skeptical attitudes
towards religion.
Those thoughts led to consider various possibilities to
Richard on his journey by France;
one of them was a journey to the heart of France to pass
through the land of Voltaire and perhaps meet
personally. Meditate on the different options and finally,
on a somewhat intuitive, chose the route chosen
Voltaire, guessing that could be of great help.
15
After a few days to gather information on transportation
and the route to follow, Richard began his
trip to France by mid-May. Precisely for that time came the
news of the death of King
Louis XV and the ascent to the French throne of his
grandson Louis XVI. It was a convulsive period in which
few had confidence in their leaders and in which the
religion offered little to its followers, it also locked
political intrigue.
So, Richard, because of the prevailing unrest, denied
depart to Paris and went first to Reims
in Champagne, the city of Joan of Arc, where all French
kings were crowned.
Having come to Reims and find accommodation, Richard spent
a long season in the French region,
ready to dive into their customs and culture. Reims, with
its magnificent cathedral dedicated to Our
Lady, Richard connected with the old building, with the
Freemasons. In fact, the first visit to that
great temple left him almost breathless, given the grandeur
of its construction. Worthy example of the time,
Reims Cathedral showing the best features of churches built
five years ago:
robust columns, arches that rose into the sky, beautiful
stained glass windows showing
alchemical knowledge of its builders ... that environment
and that indescribable feeling toward Richard
part of the creation of the Great Architect of the
Universe. Interestingly, contrary to usual, the Freemasons
who had built the magnificent cathedral left their names
written in stone, even though they no longer
could read.
In one of his long stay in the cathedral of Reims. Richard
brought an interesting conversation with
a chaplains of the church. Just a clear morning, when the
light came pouring through the
beautiful stained glass, Holbein found with disgust when
crossing the nave pavement that had been
Revamped, showing obvious signs of being very new. Bent
over with curiosity to see better
the ground a few steps when he heard they approached from
behind. It irguió and met with a front
elderly chaplain who spoke to him in the shadow of concern
on his face.
__ Can I help you, gentleman? Seems to have lost something
...
__ Oh, no, I have not lost anything! Also answered
Richard with a smile. Just watching the pavement as it
seems to have been retouched.
Then you right, sir. And it was a pity because the original
pavement was formed by a curious
maze in which they could read the names of the architects
who built our cathedral. If you are
Interested in the topic, can I explain what I know, there
is not much ...
-Please forward with curiosity, "replied Richard.
-Well, in the drawing of the floor were four names: Jean
d'Orbais, Jean le Loup
Gaucher de Reims and Bernard de Soissons. And the maze was
also specified that each of them.
D'Orbais was the architect of the magnificent look at that
plant, he ended the chorus Loup and built the foundations
the main body of the cathedral and its towers, Gaucher de
Reims was the one who gave him three doors that open the
church outside, and finally, Ber-de Soissons and vaults
built five large rosette presiding
bottom of the cathedral. They were great architects, masons
who applied their important
knowledge and that left prints in rocks that form the
Cathedral of Reims. Does
too many years for me, the shame of our city, someone far
above me, no doubt,
decided that the labyrinth that adorned the pavement was
the work of the devil and should disappear. All
remains of it are the drawings that reproduce and reflect
the echoes of their beauty.
Richard elevated view of the ground and walked slowly
across the cathedral. "The devil, the devil, the devil ..."
was repeated mentally recalling their adventures in the
Club's Fire of Hell, his conversation with
Reverend Peter or history teacher's teacher, Hiram Abiff.
For a few seconds thought to Hiram
Abiff and all Masons who had worked alongside him to build
the temple of Solomon. How many
those walls conceal secrets needed! And how much remained
to be discovered! Lowering the light again,
the chaplain was gone. Richard turned, looking to all
corners where the light is allowed
see, in search of the mysterious old man who had so kindly
explained the details of the construction of
the cathedral, but not seen again.
* *
The months went fast for Richard. After a quiet summer,
which enjoyed long walks under the
Sun, which devoted hours to remember everything I had
learned along with his brothers Masons
of England, the autumn came, and with it the cold. It was
time to move further south.
Again, Holbein began this journey through time filled with
vineyards and fields, across the
Champagne, Burgundy entered.
The passenger was then arrested in Dijon, a city located
along rivers and Suzon Ouche, which in its
towards the south end in the great Rhone. In Dijon, as in
many other French cities,
abundant traces of former Masons. After chambers in the
city, Richard spent some time
know.
That way, he could visit the famous Palace of the Dukes of
Burgundy, some of which were
best high buildings in the city. But undoubtedly the most
profitable tour in Dijon was the
Cathedral of San Benigno a new sample of the French art of
the medieval masons. On this occasion,
was not the most magnificent building which he called the
attention, but the tombs housing. Among all
them, was to Margaret of Bavaria, who was the wife of the
famous Duke John of Burgundy, known
John as the intrepid or John without Fear. The son, Philip
III the Good, created the Order of the known
16
Richard Golden Fleece had read enough about this Order on
the occasion of his intense search. During a
time, believed that the word lost its lead to the tomb of
Hiram Abiff and the treasure of treasures could
found in any order or brotherhood, such as the Order of St.
George or the Order of the Garter.
Now he was faced with a new order of these characteristics:
the famous Order of the Golden Fleece
As you may remember, this order had a logo inspired by the
mythological legend of Jason and the Fleece
gold. The Order was created in the church of San Beltrán de
Bruges, Flemish lands under the vocation of
St Andrew's, which took up his cross and whose blades
became part of the emblem of the dynasty
Burgundy. The Golden Fleece, established as a principle or
order and fraternity-friendly company, was
as was normal for his time, made over two hundred years to
serve the Church and faith Ia
Christian. His motto was clear: "Ante Ferit Quam micet
flamme ',' It hurts before they see the flame."
The Order of the Golden Fleece had gone into decline, but
for Richard's tomb found
Margaret of Bavaria was a clear signal that the path we had
chosen was correct. Bavaria was the
destination of their journey, but first try to achieve one
of its possible objectives: to visit the famous writer
Voltaire. Therefore, in the last days of the year 1774,
half of the cold winter, Richard Holbein continued his
journey through France and arrived after a long voyage to
the region of Gex, where the weather was the loss
more than one day.
There was the manor of Ferney, Voltaire undisputed
stronghold near the border of Switzerland. What
was a simple village had been growing into a great city,
thanks to
contributions by Voltaire, who came to give Ferney with
large and beautiful buildings, schools and even
with a hospital. And the palace where the writer lived from
1760 French left no doubt about the great fortune
its owner.
Richard was fascinated by the beauty and serenity that
emanated from the place. After finding lodging in a
quiet inn set in an ancient and solid building and ask for
the palace of Voltaire, decided to send
a note asking the writer audience.
The day after his arrival, when Richard was out for a walk
after breakfast, one
messenger arrived with a note addressed to him. Deployed on
paper and read with great joy that he invited Voltaire
lunch at his palace and was delighted to welcome an English
gentleman.
-A car would pick up to move it to the mansion
Richard re-think the old man and wondered: What could
bring? What surprises could obtain
of those visits? With great enthusiasm, decided to await
the moment of reunion. The wait was not heavy, and
Indeed, it went quickly and ended at the time that the car
sent by Voltaire, is collected and led to
his mansion.
After a pleasant walk, which went through lush forests,
beautiful meadows, Richard arrived at the palace
Voltaire. Just get out of the car, noted that an old man
down the stairs carefully
entrance and headed resolutely toward him.
-Welcome to Ferney, "said the elder gentleman extended his
hand towards the young.
Richard, almost a reflex action, took the hand that gave it
to tighten and noticed a special delicacy.
-Thank you, sir. Are you ...?
-Voltaire, of course, "replied the old man smiling. And I
am delighted to welcome a young English
in my house. Please pass pass.
While Richard continued the writer into the house, thinking
he had heard the criticism against
Voltaire occasionally. One referred to his strange
relationship with Madame de Chatelet,
married to the Marquis de Chatelet, a good friend of
Voltaire. This interesting woman, with whom he maintained a
long relationship, had a great culture, a vast
philosophical and spirit, as they said, a huge manly spirit
... Of
Indeed, Richard recalled that a sibling of the Grand Lodge
of London had explained all sorts of
related to the sexual perversions of the Temple Society,
which had belonged Voltaire. Now,
frail elderly noting that preceded it, and did not know
whether or not to give credence to those explanations.
After a pleasant conversation in which Voltaire presented
as asked by Mason and old
English, gave a good account of delicious lunch, with no
shortage of great wines
land. A cup of coffee, to which Voltaire was great
enthusiast, ended the meal. I am a great admirer of his
country, began to tell young writers. Much of the French
should learn their way of
govern. Fair enforcement of laws benefits provided to a
country where justice, of course, is well
substantiated. France, unfortunately, is rotting from the
victim succumbing to his agents,
starting and ending the monarchy by the judges. I do not
know if you know, brother, that his Majesty Louis XV no
has allowed me to return to Paris, while he has lived ...
but now we can do if my health permits.
Between that and the infamous King fanatic leaders of the
Catholic Church, the people who have settled in
superstition, France have slumped.
Richard was able to replicate only one word, as Voltaire
continued his monologue.
And do not think that I do not believe in God. If God did
not exist to invent! The nature we all scream
that God exists. Another thing is the insane superstition
that invented those who hide under undesirable
the basements. I am glad that you are here, young Holbein
added Voltaire suddenly placing his hand
on Richard. It is comforting to have an intelligent
conversation once in a while.
Elder Richard smiled, thinking that almost was not able to
open your mouth.
17
-Do not know what I have been honored to have agreed to
receive "replied the boy. And I fully
agreement with regard to the Catholic Church. Thanks to my
affiliation with the Grand Lodge of London discovered the
major atrocities committed against our brothers.
* *
After that initial meeting was followed a few. Almost
without realizing it, Richard was
delaying his trip to Bavaria. It seemed that the clock had
stopped at Ferney, showing that the time
was infinite and could dispose of it to gain some
experience and knowledge, with
security, help you find the desired word and the lost tomb
of Hiram Abiff to treasure
all the treasures.
Almost at the beginning of summer 1775, during one of his
frequent visits to the patriarch of Ferney, as
liked to called himself Voltaire, the elderly writer
surprised Richard with a gift.
Take-young said the elder brother while him a book. Never
say to anyone who
he has given this volume. Sure you do not believe!
The book tended to Voltaire was a copy of The Social
Contract, written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
"But Master, I was understood, for your comments, which
sees a Rousseau
enemy ...
Certainly not you make mistakes. Jean-Jacques dared, some
years ago, to defend ministers
Protestants from Geneva, where they were so unpresentable
as the French. And I took the opposite! To
Me, I came to correct his first works! Ingratitude can be a
bad advisor, no doubt. But,
Richard, where are my age can take some leave. Read the
book. Meditate on it. I
sure that you will be very useful. For your information
that you intend to travel to Bavaria. If
admitís a board of this old man and brother concedeos a
year, reflect and then towards the north.
Richard Holbein then again experience the same feeling that
was in the cathedral of San Benigno
Dijon and knew he was still the right way: had to go to
Bavaria for the order that you may give
know the missing word, which will lead to the tomb of Hiram
Abiff and his treasure.
Let pass the summer months, which is still visited on
several occasions to great
Voltaire, and upon reaching land left for Switzerland in
September, after which he was so often cited the
Bavaria, perhaps a kind of 'promised land'.
The first city to enter lands reached Swiss Geneva was a
city strongly linked to water, which
it seemed a good place to spend the autumn and winter. The
Alpine country was also difficult years
guessed that in a future full of changes, as their
inhabitants were tired of suffering the
fluctuations caused by the indecision of the leaders. The
French yoke was too heavy for
Swiss pragmatists, who wanted to regain the freedom they
had always enjoyed.
Beyond strolling through the beautiful streets and observe
its major monuments, Richard used his
stay in Geneva, the city that spawned Rousseau, who then
lived in Paris, to read
The social contract carefully. The day he read his first
line was deeply impressed:
"Man is born free, yet everywhere is in chains. Such is the
cree
love of others, when in fact it's really like them as a
slave. "
With these blunt statements, Rousseau began his book.
Freedom, without doubt, the goal was to
reach at the time of submission, the same freedom with
which Richard had chosen to start
search.
"Christianity does not preach but subservience and
dependence. His spirit is very favorable to tyranny that
it is not always taken advantage of. True Christians are
made to be slaves, you know, not
are moved too: this short life is of little value in their
eyes. "
Rousseau, it was clear, like Voltaire and many other
freemasons, not at all agree with
direction following the company. Their struggle to win
freedom and against the religion that transformed into
the faithful to their slaves became a threat to established
power. For Richard, the men
marking patterns were perhaps in the not too distant
future, could be a reality:
"To renounce liberty is to renounce the quality of men, the
rights of humanity and even the
homework. There is no possible compensation for those who
renounced everything. Such a renunciation is incompatible
with the
nature of man, and implies wrest morality to the actions to
take away the freedom of the will. "
His stay in Geneva, during the winter of 1775, it also
served to acclimatize to an environment very
different than the one he had known in France. In addition,
the Genevan atmosphere influenced by the ideas of
Calvin noted that Richard did everything that was known
with more critical eyes. The
brothers of the Grand Lodge of London, under the new
doctrines of the French freemasons famous philosophers
Swiss and started to look very conservative, although the
relationship between some of them with the Club
Fire of Hell. Even began to suspect the legitimacy to learn
that the two architects
main foundation of the Grand Lodge of London and the new
constitutions of Anderson, James
Anderson and Jean-Théophile Désaguliers, were not authentic
freemasons. Anderson was chaplain lodge
in Scotland in 1709 and in London in 1710 and never
received the Masonic initiation, because the doctors and
chaplains of the Masons of that period were not required to
go through ceremonies
initiation. Were only allowed to attend. Désaguliers was
also chaplain lodge and
found in the same situation.
18
The couple traveled by Holbein Alpine country, where time
is allowed, and came to Berne to Lucerne, and
finally, to Zurich. The Swiss Confederation, consisting of
independent territories even talked
different languages, was a worthy example of freedom that
is not observed in other European countries. Despite
of this, Switzerland is not going through good times. The
weight of French influence had led to power
aristocrats who did not hesitate to charge the people with
own oppressions of feudalism.
Zurich, Limmat on the lake, with its serene and beautiful
beech forest meadows, the offered
peace necessary to manage their ideas and reflect on his
adventures in the Grand Lodge of London, in the
Hell Fire Club and the Freemasons and Swiss francs.
He recalled the encounter with the Count of Saint-Germain,
his search in the Grand Lodge of London and the Club
Fire of Hell, and their subsequent journey through France,
that he had illustrated. Long
some time had a clue about the word that led to lost
Bavaria. But do little to missing
find it? Would you be very close to it, with his upcoming
trip to Bavaria?
Finally, in the last days of March 1776 Richard began what
would be the last leg
journey that was to lead to Bavaria.
So he went from Zurich to the city of Constance, which
takes its name from the lake constance,
formed by the flowing waters of the Rhine From there, he
crossed the lake on board a craft
linking the area with the German and Switzerland, bordering
the lake, went to Lindau in Bavaria.
With spring and warm weather, Richard Holbein arrived in
the Bavarian capital, Munich. After finding
accommodation in an establishment located in the vicinity
of the beautiful Gothic cathedral in the city, spent
several days to walk through this great German city. He was
in Bavaria, the goal of his trip, and knew that
needed to find something I did not know what, you make
contact with the Order sought. During one of
these walks through the streets Munich, Richard faced a
large building, whose entrance was
flanked by statues of two lions. Surprised by the decor,
which showed the building, jumped
Slowly the staircase leading to the door. When nearly
finished their ascent, saw the letter
'J' engraved on one of the columns that stood at the side
of the door. He thought of the column to the lodge
Masonic, Jakin, and looked quickly to the column on the
opposite side, looking for a 'B', in reference to the other
column of the Masonic Temple, Boaz, and could see clearly.
Masonic building that was, no doubt. Without
think twice, beat Richard knocker of the door with a
beating that showed his condition
Mason. An old man opened the door and, after sending an
affable smile, he shared with three siblings
hugs and a kiss on the cheek and told him it was the lodge
of Good Counsel Theodore. Several months
After the elder Mason, along with other siblings, would
contact Richard with a new Order
intended to hide great secrets and the mysterious word
missing: the Illuminati. The final journey
was close ...
The Illuminati
"There is no denying that it was
a spiritual person [Adam Weishaupt]
although spirituality horrified clerics,
those who opposed him. "
Michael Howard, The occult conspiracy
May, 1776. Munich, Bavaria
Richard divided his time in Munich, the capital of Bavaria
since 1503, including visits to
historic monuments, readings and attendance at meetings of
the Lodge Theodore of Good Counsel. In fact,
was taken to attend to the famous lodge from May 1776 until
summer 1777.
The 1776-1777 season gave Richard a unique experience, and
enjoyed it so beautiful places
as the historic Marienplatz of Munich and an exquisite
treatment from his lodge brothers to
while progressing in leaps and bounds in its Masonic,
Freemasonry and the German is
provide new knowledge.
In autumn 1776, a brother told her that one of the orders
of greatest interest to its mysterious
'Search' was that of the Bavarian Illuminati, an
organization founded on May 1, 1776 by
German professor Adam Weishaupt. According to the brother
said, the first reunion of the Order had barely
five people attended, although a few months after it
launched a remarkable growth. Interestingly,
after a few months, in February 1777, Adam Weishaupt,
founder of the Illuminati, was initiated as
Apprentice Mason in the Lodge Theodore of Good Counsel for
Richard, and it could contact him and initiate a
interesting conversation, just a few hours after its
initiation.
After the initiation of Adam, he was greeted as brothers
Richard and exchanged a few whispers and,
Finally, wrapped in mystery, marched toward the Marienplatz
in Munich. Although Weishaupt appeared
a discrete type, Richard had the impression that might
clarify some doubts in conversation with him.
Once arrived at the famous square, the two brothers sat in
a wooden seats and began
an interesting conversation.
19
Brother Adam, you can begin your explanation about the
Order of the Illuminati. We listen
very carefully "said Richard broke the silence of the
night.
-To do this, I go back in time. My father was a professor
of criminal law in Ingolstadt and I
studied at the Jesuits of that city when he was small. My
family is of Jewish origin and had no more
choice but to turn to avoid the nuisance of anti-Weishaupt
began to relate, looking
the beauty around him.
I also have Jewish blood. The Holbein in England we are
known for having too much blood
Jewish Richard interrupted him putting face of
circumstances.
Weishaupt turned in his seat and continued his explanation.
-Study in the Faculty of Law, and the twenty-seven years I
was appointed dean of the
same option. At that time I contacted Kolmar ...
- Kolmar? Richard asked, puzzled.
Yes. When we were in the lodge, you, brother, told me he
wanted to know the Illuminati, and I
I want to tell where we come from and who we are. Kolmar is
critical to understand our organization --
Weishaupt pointed.
Richard and Adam looked and smiled. The second continued
his explanation.
Kolmar-became my spiritual director to 1774. Danish was one
who had lived a long time
Egypt, and that once a group founded in the mystical island
of Malta, he toured Europe to communicate to his disciples
more faithful the mysteries and secrets that had sent the
wise men of Memphis. Kolmar was the instructor
Dom Pernetti, the manager of another Order of the
Illuminati, and famous Count Cagliostro explained
Weishaupt.
And ... What he conveyed to you? "Asked an increasingly
anxious Richard Holbein.
Well, then ... many mysteries and secrets, even the
greatest of mysteries, which is about
Baphomet, the idol of the Templars. Kolmar sent me the
techniques used to contact the
entity and get messages very helpful.
"Messages, messages, e ', heard in his mind after a
surprised Richard
Weishaupt assertion, then felt a sort of dizziness and a
huge desire to
Learn more.
I think the Lodge Theodore of Good Counsel has a
relationship with Karl Templar Strict Observance
Gottheld von Hund. Not too familiar with the history of the
Templars, still less the figure of Baphomet --
said Richard Face circumstances.
Well ... should know. You should know ... Not to extend,
only would say that the Templars
was founded by Hugues de Payens in 1118 and St. Bernard
drafted rules on the model
Cistercian. After participating in the Crusades and bring
security to the pilgrims who flocked to the Holy Land, the
Templars were bankers, had great economic power and enemies
who are wary of this power,
it ended up being persecuted. His last Grand Master,
Jacques de Molay, was burned in a
pyre erected on an island in the Seine as it passes through
Paris. One of the "crimes" more serious, as
inquisitors who prosecuted the Temple was to have the idol
Baphomet. It is true that the Strict Observance
Templars and the Lodge Theodore of Good Counsel in Munich
in part the Templar tradition. That is the
why I decided to start at the lodge and not in another.
"Baphomet, Baphomet, Baphomet ', Richard heard in his mind.
He thought in silence in
Templars and Baphomet, in the dream in which he warned that
England had to go to Bavaria and the
desired floor leading to the lost tomb of Hiram Abiff and
the treasure of all treasures. Do not be
be the Order of the Illuminati of Adam Weishaupt custody of
such a secret? Do not give this could
order at least one path that leads up to them? And what
mysteries behind Baphomet?
-You say, brother, who was the idol of Baphomet Templar
massacred in the Middle Ages.
Also you say, brother, Kolmar transmitted secrets and
mysteries and a great mystery-related
Baphomet, that is, techniques that serve to contact the
institution and receive help. In fact,
I have been given to understand that has begun in the Lodge
Theodore of Good Counsel in connection with the
Strict Observance Templars and Baphomet. But do you have
checked the validity of such techniques
Kolmar used to contact and get wise Baphomet messages?
Richard asked again
insistently.
Once I learned the techniques Kolmar, I contacted Baphomet,
which is nothing but a
"Talking head" and an entity that carries the light, even
with a huge initiatory symbolism. Contacted
with him in a cave in Bavaria, and soon the Illuminati was
founded in Bavaria, Weishaupt said.
- The 'talking heads' are ordered! Exclaimed Richard in the
middle of having to believe the cold night
discovered a great mystery.
That is answered by looking fixedly Weishaupt.
- And the illuminati members practice such techniques?
"Asked Richard to show clear signs
their state of anxiety.
Yes, but you have to move slowly through the grades of
initiation "replied looking Weishaupt
New fixedly Richard.
At that time, Richard thought he had enough.
20
Thought that the degrees of Weishaupt who spoke were
similar to the Masonic degrees of Apprentice and
Companion. And we also believe that contact with Baphomet
who taught in certain grades of
illuminati might be closer to the floor and looking lost
for over half a century.
He got up from his seat slowly.
Brother, I think the Illuminati and their secrets and
mysteries, I am interested in looking at Richard-babble
Weishaupt.
I wish to accept your Order of the Illuminati
As ...
...-Novice, Novice. But, brother, what you thought as it
should? Weishaupt asked after
conversation, a little puzzled by the haste.
Yes, brother, "replied Richard.
-Well, I will accept. We agree. Are accepted
Weishaupt added.
At that moment, heard the bells of a nearby cathedral, and
both were without contertulios
know what to say. The sky was clear and allowed to observe
the growing darkness in the midst of the Stars
night. They looked to Adam and Richard. The latter felt
that was nearly lost and the desired word
the Light, Holy Light, began to be in the midst of
darkness.
* *
Richard Holbein, for almost a year, was devoted in body and
soul to the Novitiate of the Order of the Illuminati
Adam Weishaupt, and without moving from Munich to attend
the Lodge Theodore of Good Counsel. His
contact with the Order was insinuating a mysterious
brother, with whom he met in some forest
near Munich every two or three months. The work to be done
was a kind of awakening of
consciousness, some meditation, some boards of study and
observation of the people close to him. The
Order of the Illuminati, as could find out during the
novitiate, also defended some of the widely
revolutionary beyond esotericism that treasured. A text of
its founder Adam Weishaupt, has noted:
"Salvation is strong where the thrones are defended by the
sword, where smoke from
censers rises to heaven or where thousands of strong men
with measured steps the rich fields of
harvest. The revolution that will occur will be sterile if
it is not complete. "
At the end of the Novitiate, Richard, apart from work, had
to answer several questions
committed him to remember the oath of initiation into the
Masonic degree of The Apprentice
Grand Lodge of London and other experiences within the club
of the Fire of Hell:
"Yet you still intend to be received into the Order of the
Illuminati?
'Have you weighed enough to take an important and risky
decision to enter
unknown commitments?
"If you discover something wrong in order to do what
tomaréis party?
»Cachimelian our society the right to life and death?
"Are you blind obedience to a comprometéis without
reservation?
"What security we give unto these promises and what a shame
you someteréis if faltáis to someone?"
The responses of Richard Holbein was sent to the archives
of the Order and the superiors of the
illuminati put a date and time to initiation, after
considering the responses of the young Holbein
were appropriate for the Order: eleven p.m. on 18 April
1778.
The days before the start, Richard went something nervous
and carefully prepared his trip to Ingolstadt,
as ordered and had come there to perform. Richard thought
the grades of initiation of
Illuminati and Baphomet that could be related to the
desired word lost. In the event that
accesses to the instructions of the illuminati that teach
you to contact the institution, could convey the
missing word? When to speculate on these assumptions, the
state of Richard's anxiety increased.
One night, Richard had a strange dream in which there was
in the middle of a forest with people
tiny that told him, "You have to go forward, toward the
chapel and the dangerous path of initiation."
Then the smile disappeared and loved flying, running in a
sort of flying car. After a
while, a woman appeared in the luxuriant forest of
provocatively dressed and told him: "Honey, do not
There is nothing like putting your head in the middle of
the buttocks of a great mother. "Missing Women, a being
hermaphroditic, with both sexes, also appeared in the
forest and sang: 'There is nothing better than having
However, Baphomet has it all: rod and hole. "
On April 18th of 1778, after another night of strange
dreams, Holbein finally went to Ingolstadt
early morning to be started, and arrived with his horse at
full gallop, at noon. Accommodates
in an inn that had a reservation for him, ate and waited in
his room to see the brother
insinuating, who had to drive to the place of initiation.
At the time agreed to in point, the brother
insinuating was presented at the inn, greeted Richard and
moved with his horse to a forest near
Ingolstadt.
The suggestive and brother Richard arrived at the place in
the first half hour and asked to be naked
completely quickly. Richard recalled other and noticed it
was beginning to sweat. For a moment,
was afraid, but nevertheless obeyed and took his clothes.
Insinuating brother placed him in a venda
eyes and tied his genitals with a smooth, exclaiming:
-Novice, wait here until I return.
21

Brother insinuating reappeared, finally, after a twenty

minutes and took him to the place of ritual with
the blinkers. After kneeling, Richard had to answer plenty
of questions to
know what were the reasons why they wanted to start in the
Order of Iluminati.
When sworn in, one of the hooded men underwent more
questions:
- You want to swear allegiance to the Order of the
Illuminati?
Yes I replied Richard.
- Want to be a member of the Illuminati?
Yes, I would respond again Richard.
- Will all of my order?
"Yes," said Richard.
- How's life?
Until the life-sentence without hesitation Holbein.
-Well, swears that after I do it:
"In the presence of Almighty God and to you, at this point
acknowledge my natural weakness.
I confess that, despite the privileges of rank, the titles
of the riches that could be coated,
am only a man like others, that other mortals can make me
lose all that, the
Just as they got through, I have an absolute need to esteem
and to do
As I can to deserve it ... Promise fervently seize every
opportunity to serve the
humanity, to improve my spirit, to use my knowledge in the
common good, to the extent that
blen the statutes and my society require.
I promise an everlasting silence, an inviolable fidelity
and obedience to all superiors and the statutes
of the order ... God help me. "
The oath, for a moment, he remembered a Richard somewhat
revolutionary nature of the illuminati
Weishaupt and the earlier initiatives.
The silence was broken when one of the masked men gave
three blows on the altar and exclaimed:
Light, Light, Light ... You see the light of Bavaria.
Insinuating brother gave it up and removed the blindfold
from the eyes. Richard, then, could provide
two swords that he and two masked men pointed a black altar
and a pair of candles or colored candles
red, a little related to a Masonic lodge. Where were the
black and white tile, the
two columns of the entrance, Jakin and Boaz, the triangle
and the eye, the symbol of the Great Architect of the
Universe?
One of the masked proclaimed him lit, and the rest of the
brothers present him a triple
fraternal embrace, and then completed the initiation.
Since that night, the young Richard Holbein could move into
the mysteries of the illuminati more
depth and find the desired word or lost how to get there.
And the truth is that the famous
word was close, too close.
* *
Thus, Holbein spent almost four years living in Ingolstadt
to meet and find out about Weishaupt
Masonic mysteries large and illuminated. Scale degrees of
initiation of the Illuminati, he met
members of the illuminati as illustrious as Cagliostro,
Herder and Goethe, and was faced with the initiation in
Master Mason in the summer of 1782. The Rite of the
Illuminated, written by Adam Weishaupt and Adolph von
Knigge, had 13 degrees of initiation and Richard was
convinced that the degree of Master Mason
the mystery that he was seeking.
The truth is that Richard, at that time, it has no strength
to continue the search in
high levels of the Illuminati, because time had elapsed and
the city of Ingolstadt no more
attractive than those of a ducal castle, a Gothic
cathedral, some nearby woods and a beautiful
girls as attractive as demure.
His initiation into the Masonic master, therefore, a
December 13 and it was more bearable
The first initiation ritual of the Illuminati, because then
I knew very well to their siblings. Only
the act of lying down in the symbolic tomb of Hiram Abiff
and march around her little long intrigued him and
they sweat. He encouraged himself thinking that there could
be no problem between brothers as
known. And so it was, all spent in the most natural way.
As he imagined, taps, signs, words and teachings that gave
discovered new clues about its
search. The lessons cover the luciferina tradition that
transmitted Tubalcaín Hiram Abiff, the
hero of the master masons, with clear and understandable
information. That tradition was almost identical to that
have discovered for the first time with the brothers of the
Grand Lodge of London. The truth is that this
a tradition as exciting as initiatory, hidden in part by
fears of the Catholic Church and
Conservatives talk about Satanism in the heart of
Freemasonry.
The new documents explaining the illuminati nearly Hiram
Abiff or even on the document that
received by the Grand Lodge of London, but added an
important tree on Hiram
Abiff:
"The pedigree of Hiram Abiff, according to tradition
luciferina is:
1.The supreme God and unknown
2.Iblis (Samael, Lucifer Baphomet ...) and Eva
22
3.Caín and Lebuda
4.Enoc and NAEM
5.Irad and NAEM
6.Mejuyael and NAEM
7.Matusael and NAEM
8.Lamec and Tsillas (Sela)
9.Tubalcaín and NAEM
10.Ur and a widow
11.Hiram Abiff and Balkis
And, no doubt, therefore, the genealogy of Hiram Abiff as
tradition can luciferina
fully consider "luciferina or linked to the God of Light
for several reasons:
• "Hiram, the founder of Tire was the son of a widow from
the tribe of Naphtali (I Kings, 7-13) or Dan.
These two Hebrew tribes that were returned to the golden
calf and gave to that developed by Moses.
A significant fact.
• "Hiram's father was a Tiri, also founder, called Ur. In
Hebrew, the word means" light. "
Recall the importance of light in capital letters across
the road luciferina.
• According to the legend of Hiram, he was educated during
a descent to the center of the Earth by Tubalcaín,
its founder ancestor. Tubalcaín And by the way the password
on the master masons, is quoted in the
Genesis 4-22 as follows: birth to Sela Tubalcaín, creator
of cutting tools made of bronze and
iron. The sister was Tubalcaín NAEM ... "
"It Baphomet attention because it is the initiation of this
expression of God and the Light
illuminati use that expression in our work. "
After several readings, all became clear to Richard. Hiram
Abiff appeared associated with your ancestor
ancestral Iblis, who was considered a god of light very
similar to Baphomet. Hiram Abiff was the door
access to Iblis and Baphomet. In the mastery of the masonic
illuminati, the legend gave rise to no doubts.
But what explains Baphomet in the same documents of the
Master Mason of the illuminati?
The documents in that grade, in addition, also showed the
precise nature and actual
Baphomet, the idol of the Templars associated Iblis.
Richard was amazed to see the documents
Baphomet considered the true God and in him all the
mysteries. Could be little doubt
those heights find about where the word lost.
Baphomet was the key, ie, who led the missing word to the
tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure.
The degree of Master Mason offered more means to contact
and provided a Baphomet
useful introduction to the Cabala to learn how to contact
other planes of reality, and found that Richard
practice was to prepare properly for the big event that was
coming. Practiced during
months and finally managed to watch a talking head,
Baphomet, which he said: 'I Am ... I am and three times
me. I am the inspirer of dreams, the magician of the
shadows of the soul. Enlightens everyone, but do not know
it or not
want to know. Wait ... Wait ... "
* *
As a Master Mason of the Illuminati of Bavaria, Richard
Holbein also found that the comparison
between the Illuminati and the Freemasons Englishmen, whom
Weishaupt called "uninitiated" and "clergy."
In fact, in 1782, the convent of Masonic Wilhelmsbad, the
Illuminati have tried to unite
Continental Freemasonry, without success, largely due to
the radical position of English freemasonry against him.
In spring 1784, Richard was about to graduate and move up,
to calm the anxiety
by waiting, decided to embark on a journey through France.
Thought that a trip a couple of months it would not
only to relax but also to clarify the ideas and data he had
obtained the Order of
Illuminati. Another attraction of the trip was to learn
about the environment of the Masonic lodges and illuminated
French
where new trends emerging as the Masonic Martinism created
by Martine de Pascually after
found that the Rite of Elected Cohens. As had been able to
ascertain, in the last decade, various rites
Masonic newly win the French and Continental Freemasonry,
and Richard wanted to contact,
as a Master Mason of the Illuminati, with the lodges of the
Grand Orient of France, created in 1773, and the Great
French National Lodge, who worked with such rituals, to
verify that fact. But just across the
border, a brother Richard told an alarming story that
altered its present and future:
on June 22 the elector of Bavaria banned the Illuminati,
after an envoy of the Order
dead with documents that showed the plans of a great
revolution.
Richard was afraid and thought that such a situation would
damage their search in the illuminati, apart from
compromise their integrity and their own brothers. He
believed that his trip guess France, moreover, no
would only be associated with new Masonic that flourished
at speed, but with
problems. Took the decision to spend a few months hiding in
a town near the border
Strasbourg, and in February 1785, when I thought everything
would calm the news that Weishaupt
was removed from his chair and going into exile, condemned
to death, he smashed.
Richard thought that from the Masonic Convent of
Wilhelmsbad in 1782, Weishaupt had
priority to the revolution, and had joined the military as
Baron von Bode and Busche Amelio or section of the
23
Masons organization of the stature of Adolf von Knigge, who
had written The Rite of Iluminados and
structured the order with him, and now came the dramatic
consequences.
Knigge, whom he knew well, was far less revolutionary and
Weishaupt, 1782, after the convent,
where the Illuminati had intended to unite all the
Freemasons under its authority, without success, was
separated from the
Order, which created a revolutionary situation within the
Order seemed to have led to
current drama. "Now what can I do?" Asked Richard a little
confusing.
After much meditation, he thought that with the illuminati
prohibited the possibility of ascending degree of
further contacts with the talking heads, Baphomet, and
finally achieve the desired word
loss leading to the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure of
all treasures departed from Bavaria.
In late December 1785, two days before his return trip to
Paris, Richard experienced a
strange feeling. Despite the cold outside, the room of his
inn was a brutal heat. Suddenly, he looked
toward the red cathedral of Strasbourg and a musical voice
that told him emphatically, later or more
earlier, he would complete his search word I missed that
would lead to the tomb of Hiram Abiff and
the great treasure, and that someone would take the torch
for justice illuminati, Richard was at that time
intuition that the latter was imminent, while the word lost
would not be found until
a long time.
After hearing the voice, sat stunned on the bed, he
recalled his first encounter with the hero and Adam
Weishaupt
returned to the Cathedral, its symbols, its messages have
been recorded in stone ...
The mysterious voice that she had spoken no mistake ...
THE BIG EAST OF FRANCE AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION
"De Molay is avenged.".
(Mexican revolutionary masses.)
December 1785. Paris, France
In December 1785, before what happened in Bavaria, Richard
Holbein abandoned and left for Strasbourg
Paris. By the way, he noticed a pre-Revolutionary. The
people were tired of injustices and wanted a
Instead, as he had suggested some years was the illustrious
Voltaire. The bad atmosphere was so great
Richard feared being assaulted by the road on several
occasions.
Upon arrival in Paris in the early spring of 1786, Richard
stayed at an inn near the
Notre Dame and the Ile de la Cité, where they had been
burned alive in a pyre the last major
Master of the Templars, Jacques de Molay. Was spent
strolling around the medieval area of Paris, to appraise
its
beauty and remember to Bavaria. Paris loved the Notre Dame
Cathedral, its interior dark and its
gargoyles, similar to Baphomet.
Richard immediately contacted with the French lodges of the
Grand Orient of France and the Grand Lodge of
France and resumed their Masonic work. In the lodges of the
Grand Lodge of France, was able to discover what
was the famous Martinism. He had been created by Martín de
Pascually (1710?. 1774). Jewish origin
Sephardic (Spanish), no Weishaupt as a descendant of
European Jews, Martinez toured France and was
start in several Masonic rites of the eighteenth century,
to finally create his own rite, the Chosen of the Cohens.
The ritual, full of magic, Cabala and the occult, was
recognized by the Grand Lodge of France in 1765, and this
marked the start of Martinique. Martin was prolonged by
Claude de Saint-Martin
(1743-1803), the 'unknown philosopher "because Willermoz
Jean Baptiste (1730-1824), founder of
Knights of the Black Eagle and the Order of the Knights of
the Holy City Benefactor. Within the
Grand Orient of France, he found, by contrast, that lived
in the Masonic obedience from a minority
aristocrats with a majority of revolutionaries, along with
other brothers who came from the runaway illuminati
of Bavaria. Richard learned that these brothers Bavarian
lodges and the Order of Documents
the Illuminati had been looted, that was terrible
persecution and torture and imposing
inquisitorial sentences, such as the death sentence
received by the Grand Master Adam Weishaupt. Richard
Holbein is thought to guess that he saved from burning by a
kind of "miracle".
Between 1787 and 1788, Richard settled in Paris before
returning to the impossibility of Bavaria, had a
romance with a young woman named Marie very hot, was kept
away from any speculation about
Baphomet or lost and the desired word prosigió active in
Masonic lodges of the Grand Orient of
France, waiting for better times. Within the lodges, noted
somewhat surprised how
aristocrats began to leave the Masonic activity, ie to
enter into "dreams", as it were
disagreement with the Freemasons and the illuminati who
worked in the same lodges to undermine the monarchy and
tyranny against the people. The situation provoked
complaints from regular lodges and profound differences
between
obediences of different ways. Encouraged by the ambience of
the lodges of the Grand Orient, one night after
the sexual act and felt relaxed, Richard confessed to Marie
that something big was going to happen in France.
Already in June 1789, the king of France, Louis XVI,
through the infiltration of the police learned of the work
conspiratorial enough illuminati freemasons and the Grand
Orient of France and the discontent of the people, and made
in a vain attempt to try to remedy what seemed hopeless at
that point: a revolution. Attempted
to silence the revolutionaries of the Grand Orient of
France and of the people by adopting a series of
social measures. But the measures were rejected by the
lodges of the Grand Orient and the people, and 14
24
July 1789 revolution broke out of the atmosphere with the
final form of the Bastille. Richard, along with
other siblings, many illuminati, was in fact the crazy race
to the Bastille, climbing
the masses and screaming: 'For them, I came to De Molay and
Weishaupt!
Following the taking of the Bastille, the revolution is
channeled, the days were more violent and spacing
revolutionary goals (the republic, social equality, the
elimination of the royal family, religious freedom and
sex ...) triumphed in the end.
Several of the main heroes of the French Revolution as the
Count of Mirabeau or famous Babeuf,
were freemasons and illuminati. And several of these
revolutionary heroes led much of the creed of
illuminati in those social reforms. Moreover, although some
members of the aristocracy and
the monarchy were linked to the Freemasons, his end was
tragic.
In the midst of the victory of the Revolution, Richard not
only noted with pride how the beliefs of the Illuminati
is embodied in those social reforms which were carried out,
but took time to remember
together with other brothers of the good Adam Weishaupt. In
many cases, indeed, all commented
together the terrible suffering he had to spend a great
person like him having to go into exile away
of Bavaria and his brothers, because of religious
intolerance.
Richard, in the solitude of his inn, accompanied by Marie,
often reminded that their
Interior impressions were confirmed.
Among all the documents born of the Revolution, there was
one that broke the soul because it seemed
removed from the pen of Adam Weishaupt. Babeuf was one of
the revolutionary leaders, freemason, illuminati
and responsible for the post of the same conspiracy (1796-
1797), acaudillada by the Babeuf, Darche
and Buonarrotti. Babeuf Richard read it personally, but he
argued that the public would only be years
later, because it was not yet the time to finish
translating the social reforms of the illuminati.
The paper said:
"People of France, for fifteen centuries has lived thus
unhappy slave [...]. From
time immemorial been hypocritically says: "Men are equal,
and since time immemorial the most
monstrous inequality affects the human race ... Equality
has never been more beautiful than a fiction

"We now intend to live and die equal, as we were born, we
we want real equality or death. [...] We do not just want
equal rights written into the
man we want with us, under the roof of our houses. We are
willing to do anything to
obtain, for it we are ready to make a clean sweep [...].
"We do ask something more sublime and more equitable, and
common good of the community property. Enough

"No other differences between male age and sex, we all have

all and the same food.
There is only one Sun and one for all air [...].
"People of France opens eyes and hearts to the fullness of
happiness: to recognize and
us a republic of equals. "
In late 1790, the revolutionary atmosphere appeared calm
throughout France, and Richard thought that
should resume their search for the missing word after the
excitement Bavarian and French. Was
impression that it was time to leave the continent and
return to England for
resume the march and continue the search for lost magic
word that would lead to grave
Hiram Abiff and the treasure of all treasures. In Bavaria,
had been left at the gates of the word lost
because of a series of historical events, but should
continue beyond what could be attractive
be staying in the French Revolution.
In the winter of 1790, Richard prepared his luggage, and
finally said goodbye to the brothers and Marie, who
explained, with tears in her eyes, which could not carry it
because they needed to continue a mission so
important as the revolution itself: the search for a
mysterious lost word. In the decision
Richard also weighed the advice of the Count Saint-Germain
on the need to maintain
emotional too long.
After leaving the revolutionary France and a very quick
trip back to England, where
spent struggling with the assailants of roads, Richard
Holbein arrived at his mansion in less than two Yalding
months and was able, through correspondence behind that his
butler had died, as did
Some brothers of the Grand Lodge of London. In utter
loneliness, he toured the halls and
rooms of his mansion in silence, and was somewhat puzzled
by what that was still well maintained, to
despite its fifteen years of absence in France and Bavaria.
Longing Bavaria, France, Marie ... and affected by news of
the deaths, in the solitude of his
mansion thought that his status not only gave him immortal
joys.
That first night in England, Richard had a strange dream
related to his immortality,
lost word, the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure he
sought. He dreamed that, after a very dark tunnel
This led a vaulted room, was there with Adam Weishaup and
Babeuf. A. Master W. delivered
Babeuf to a shiny box and disappeared. When opened, it was
a brass plate containing a
25
Name: The Book of Fame Fraternitatis. "Babeuf Richard
watched in amazement, somewhat stunned, and said to him:
"Revolution is over, return to the search in Arabia and
Egypt, but in 1845."
When I woke the next day, Richard said the Sun shining
crystals by and reminded his mansion
their noble brothers German and French, and to Marie, his
mistress. Still half wrapped in their dreams
developers, thought that was identified with the brothers
on the continent and to deny the Freemasons

and also learned, for a printing

in their next adventure

Fama Fraternitatis
March 1845. Dover, England
How much could change in a city seventy-one years! Richard
watched the bustle that had its
while about to board was heading back to the mainland. It
seemed it was yesterday when
decided to undertake a journey that led him to travel a
good part of France and Germany, and to
provided so much knowledge, so many friends ... and so many
avenues to continue their search for the desired
floor leading to the lost tomb of Hiram Abiff and the great
wealth that it contained, once on board the
sailboat that would lead him back to France, Richard is
accommodated in a comfortable seat cover and left
his thoughts wander to a memory exercise.
In recent years - more than fifty! - Had to reorganize
their finances and manage their
economic future for not having any problems regarding their
livelihood. The house was increasingly Yalding
expensive to maintain, but without any doubt was very clear
that it should remain open and willing to
receive each time I was in England. What also was clear was
that in his long life still
expected to make many trips during the first year after his
return, and after having the dream that you
The book showed Fraternitatis of Fame Richard returned to
frequent dealings with the brothers of the Freemasons
Grand Lodge, but not return to the lodges. With practice
pretending to be a descendant of the Holbein
Yalding, Richard came back into contact with society in
London. Thus, after consulting on
the existence of the mysterious book that appeared in his
dream, he found he could easily achieve
any library to have a good background. And it was. News of
the fraternity or Fraternitatis Fame was
title, which opened the famous book, a book, incidentally,
dates from 1614 and a few pages, which did not appear
sign of its author. The book, addressed to "the regents, to
the orders and the scientists of Europe '
by the "brothers of the fraternity of Rosacruz" chronicles
the adventures and journeys made by the
sibling or fraternal Rosenkreutz Christian, the founder of
the brotherhood of Rosacruz. Through the
explanations given by a brother, Richard knew that the
fraternity seemed to lose its origins
at the time enjoyed a high reputation among the Masons,
which had led many Masons to
belong to it.
The book began boasting of the great advances of science,
which had managed to start the
secrets of nature, and the emergence of great sages who had
attained extensive knowledge.
"But all and considered by the frivolity of the world as of
little value. The ridicule and slander not
cease to grow. The men of science are imbued with an
arrogance and pride that such
refuse to meet to make a calculation of the many
revelations with which God has pleased the
times we live through the book of nature or rule of all
arts. Each group fights the
others based on the old dogmas, and instead of clear and
manifest the Light, he preferred to the Pope, Aristotle, to
Galen and anything that looks like a collection of laws and
instructions, where no doubt these
authors would be glad to review their knowledge if they
lived. "Oops! The Rosicrucian also
proved to be very aggressive against the status quo and
against the obstacles put by the policy, science and
religion.
Then the book continues to chronicle the lives of fraternal
Christian Rosenkreutz. "Our late father, Fr C. R.,
religious spirit, high, highly illuminated, German,
Chairman and founder of our fraternity, devoted
intense and prolonged efforts to draft reform universal.
Extreme poverty forced his parents, although
nobles, to put it in the convent at the age of four years.
There he acquired a knowledge of two convenient
languages: Latin and Greek. We also saw filled their
incessant prayers and supplications in the prime of his
youth: he was
entrusted to a brother, P. A. L., which had voted to go on
pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulcher. Although this
Brother saw not Jerusalem, as he died in Cyprus, our Fr. C.
R. not decreased, by contrast,
Damcar embarked with the intention to visit Jerusalem on
this city. "
26
The fact that the theme of the book resulting in a trip,
which Richard did try to find out more about
The central character in the book, such Rosenkreutz
Christian. Through a few brief explanations received
by Mason belonging to a brother fraternity Rosacruz,
Richard knew he was born in the year Rosenkreutz
1378 and died in 1484, ie he lived until six hundred years.
So assuming that he would have
exist, an issue that more than one doubted. Also picked up
the interesting fact that a scholar
Lutheran, Juan Valentin Andreae, who died in 1684, was
author of the book. In any case, they write
who wrote them, and there Rosenkreutz Christian or not, the
book contained some indications as
sufficiently mysterious as to Richard's decision to
continue the journey that
mysterious German, a trip that could, if not help solve the
riddle of the lost word
leading to the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the treasure of
treasures, they show the right path to follow.
The dream that was returning from his first voyage he made
it clear that should begin your new journey
1845. So, with the patience that gave her immortality, made
over the years, a few years in which
was alternated with the Freemasons with their brothers long
periods of extreme loneliness,
not to raise suspicions in either London or Yalding of
their immortality.
* *
Once the year 1845, Richard was back on track, following
the trail left by Christian
Rosenkreutz. Therefore, the first thing we decided was to
travel to the distant island of Cyprus where, as in all
lands of southern Mediterranean, were lords and masters the
Ottomans.
From England he went to France, a land where Richard had
run and where he had many adventures
made friends and loves ... Just stepping on French soil, he
learned that the flame of the Revolution had
become almost extinct after a large footprint left by
Napoleon, but the spirit of freedom and equality
fraternity, which had so valiantly defended illuminati and
freemasons, had been heavily
rooted in the land galas. During the long time it took to
cross the country to the south, he knew that
French had risen to power the Duke of Orleans, Louis
Philippe. Despite this the atmosphere in the cities
French people and was not too quiet. Richard was not
surprised to detect such disorder, as
when he left England, where the young Queen Victoria
reigned, political and economic problems of Ireland
English constantly undermined peace.
With the mood not too high, Richard arrived at the end of
your trip continental Marseilles. His
stay in the old French city, so often plagued by pirate
attacks, was very
brief, because in a few days to find passage on a ship,
with a stopover in Sicily, will lead
to the island of Cyprus.
The journey through the Mediterranean was very pleasant.
During the trip, had time to become familiar with this
Latin spirit so peculiar is that only in the south of
Europe. And what more
Richard was surprised and not very pleasant, was the high
tone of voice that the whole world used to
speak. What a scandal that organized the sailors! In fact,
this feature was noisy at higher
as Richard focused on the heart of the Mediterranean and
the Ottoman influx was
more palpable.
With a more roasted skin, increasing the attractiveness of
his blue eyes, Richard landed on the
Cypriot coast, particularly in the port of Kirenia, where
after getting a good mount
If any one could be called stubborn mule and crowned,
headed for the city of Nicosia.
Since I put the first foot on Cyprus, the couple noticed
that their presence was not very well received. Cyprus,
with its white houses reflecting a Sun of justice, was in
Ottoman hands. E England, had been
long time, trying to occupy the strategic island without
success, which made its arrival any lift
another suspicion between Cypriot leaders. So, just to get
to Nicosia, he knew how difficult it could
to become an English accommodation, which could finally get
after paying a large
amount of money. Once housed, and adopting a less
suspicious clothing, consisting of a
sort of tunic that included a hood, Richard was able to see
how the Turks had converted to
Nicosia, a capital worthy of its state, and transformed
into a mosque at the time which was a beautiful
Gothic church. What I kept the city were its walls, built
under Venetian domination, and their
steep narrow streets, dark and winding, where one could
easily lose.
As indicated, therefore, was to engage in further
indications of Fame Fraternitatis and travel
Christian Rosenkreutz, something that Richard did for the
comfortable housing. So
resumed reading and was set in the following paragraph:
"During the time he was forced to prolong their
stay in Cyprus bound by fatigue, won the favor of the Turks
from the experience not
negligible in the art of healing. Or by chance heard of the
wise Damcar in Arabia, of the wonders that
were able to make and the revelations they had made on
whether the whole of nature. "That was
complicated at times. Above, there was talk that the master
died in Rosenkreutz
Cyprus. And, therefore, appeared to his disciples went to
the German island, but his real target was a
city called Damcar. "Damcar, Damcar ..." The word is
repeated again and again in the mind of Richard. The
I knew only city with a similar name was the legendary
Damascus, but does have something to do with it
Damcar name? The text explains that Christian Rosenkreutz
had heard of "the wise men of
Damcar "in Arabia, but did not indicate where or who had
transmitted that information. What a mess! After
meditate a lot, Richard decided to travel to Damascus. Once
there, and decide the next step.
27
The journey from Cyprus to Asia was not easy. First, he had
to go to the most
East of the island, where he arrived on the back of a mule
truculent, which could never get along. There,
Richard once again have trouble finding a boat that I would
bring up some coastal town. A
Although it began to defend with the Arabic language, their
communication problems worsen
situation. Paying back a huge amount of money, Richard
managed to travel to the city
Tartus. Once there, he received an interesting
recommendation for a nice Greek wine merchant, which
met at the inn where he stayed quiet.
Look you, young English. The infidel Turks are very proud
and did not consent to put anyone in doubt
its authority. So the best thing to do is to go unnoticed
as possible, especially
mind that you are English. Anyway, if he manages to
dominate a little more Arabic than I dominated the
English, which is not much that you will not have any
problem, said the Greek. After a brief
pause in which it noted fixedly Richard concluded with a
clear-statement:
Interestingly you do not look to be English, but rather
from my experience I would say that you have
Jewish descent, I am wrong? "asked the Greek mysterious air
while holding a full glass of tea.
That is, it is. I have Jewish blood in my veins, and,
frankly, I would say that since I stepped on these
land I feel like I am in my house. Is not it strange?
No, you may not believe it, "answered the Greek. In the
many years that causes me to engage in commerce,
I could deal with many traders and Jews, believe me, is not
the first time I heard a statement
like yours. In any case, it is best to learn the Arabic
language and are not seeking trouble.
Taking into account the very wise and practical advice
offered by the Greek merchant, Richard
launched towards the city of Damascus, taking advantage of
the departure of a caravan that was heading towards
there.
* *
The trip served to Richard, almost without realizing it,
was getting used to the idiosyncrasies of Turkey. The
truth is that he felt very happy when, upon arriving the
night, their traveling companions lit major
fires for heating and drank tea while explaining an
excellent and a thousand anecdotes of his travels.
Richard also had to get used to their prayers, all still
very devoutly, while
crouch in the direction of the holy city of Mecca. Richard
did everything that, in many moments,
almost forgot the reason for your trip and feel the great
weight of their roots, which probably were not very
away from those lands. It felt very comfortable in that
spot that one hundred years ago, had been the
cradle of civilization and the great religions.
With sincere regret, had to say goodbye to their fellow
travelers upon arrival in Damascus. But,
rapidly Dimischk esch Schama, as the Turks called the city,
she captivated with her charms and
mysteries.
Damascus, as throughout its history, proved to be a great
commercial and cultural capital. The city,
regarded by the prophet Mohammed as one of the four earthly
paradises, was one of the oldest
the world, including Richard remembered having read in the
Bible. Damascus, bisected by the Barada River, was a
next to the desert oasis, where one could get lost in a
thousand and its beautiful spots. Without hesitation,
Richard
decided to stay there a good season.
Initiated contact with the Jewish community in the city,
very rich indeed, and with Christianity, which
remained for the most part Orthodox. Unlike what was
believed in Europe, the Turks were
much more open and respectful concerned that Christian
belief. In Damascus, together with
mixed, that is, followers of the three major religions that
also were born in the same land. And
there was any problem.
Therefore, Richard was able, on many occasions to visit the
beautiful and sacred places such as the Great Mosque,
It was built in 708 years and had previously been a
Christian church, and even before, a Roman temple.
Damascus, in the end, united in its midst the best of all
traditions. Although, unfortunately, this included the
ancient hatred felt by some others.
Richard was living in the capital of ancient Syria for a
few years. While you are here,
among other things, to master the Arabic language, but the
Hebrew he could learn from a friendly
rabbi, who also elaborated on Jewish beliefs and traditions
and, of course, in the Cabala.
She had come so far in adapting to the country not noticed
that the shouting was formed in
markets or the perennial smell of urine and spices floating
around the city. Richard lived in a small
house near the Jewish quarter of Damascus, which had leased
to a businessman with knives and alfanjes
that many times, sat for a long time to talk about
religion, and relished
a good strong tea and smoke flavored snuff own those lands.
But where was the word
Lost? From the outset, there was no trace of her.
This period of peace ended in a distressing and unpleasant.
It was during a night
August 1851, where Richard was heading towards his home
after having shared the table with Rabbi Daniel and
family, when alleged gang members cornered the young
English in a small square. Despite the
cries of the attackers and those trying to defend Richard
PROFERI, no window is opened or
no neighbor came to help. Richard was only the brilliance
of a great alfanje head towards his neck. Two of
The assailants kept fixed, while a third held a dangerous
weapon.
28
-Infiel, listen well, "whispered alfanje of the owner. We
come here for years and observándote
Curious to know your questions. This is just a warning.
Richard, who dared not move a muscle nor fear to get hurt,
closing his eyes nodded.
-Looking for a treasure, which we know as Richard said the
robber opened his eyes excessively
without understanding anything. Remember, infidel, you
should not remove the stones. The word should remain lost.
If
reveal the great secret, the world will change
irretrievably. Stop searching! Can you hear me okay? You
a day to pick up your things and leave town. If you do not,
all your friends die.
After this terrible threat, the bandits, who Richard could
not even see them face disappeared
in the darkness of an alley. For a few minutes, the couple
did not dare to break away from the wall. The
legs shaking him to the point that was not clear whether
they could hold. ¡That was crazy! How
energúmenos where they had left and those who had explained
the reason for your trip? As you
was reassuring, Richard tried to bring order to run their
ideas. "We'll see. With whom I have spoken
I missed the word? Only with Daniel. And he has not told
anyone, for granted. "The only
that happened was some mysterious group, with some
religious radicals, had guarded the rabbi,
quite possible, and that following his visits had been
aware of his search for the word loss. In
no circumstance would be to find out.
With all the pain of his heart, Richard picked up quickly
as strictly necessary and made the
luggage including, yes, the book of the Count Saint-Germain
and Fraternitatis of Fame. After packing
the last bits, Richard sat on cushions around the room and
meditated quietly next to
give. Over the years spent in Damascus, he was able to
realize that, as explained in Fama
Fraternitatis, the city was not the mythical Damcar.
Moreover, it concluded that there Damcar.
However, his studies of Hebrew led to an interesting
conclusion. Found that
Damcar floor was composed of two Hebrew words: DM, 'dam',
meaning 'blood', and KR,
'Car', which means "lamb." So Damcar could translate as
"the blood of the lamb" clear
reference to Christianity. Richard had seriously discussed
the possibility that this was the word missing,
but ultimately rejected by not having any relationship with
place.
Taking again the book that narrates the journey of
Christian Rosenkreutz, decided to continue its journey.
Rosenkreutz traveled, as I had read up somewhere in Arabia.
"After a stay of three years, took
way back, and fitted with good safe, clears the Arabian
Gulf were arrested in Egypt over time
just perfect for his observations of plants and creatures.
He then crossed the Mediterranean
in all directions and finally reached where he had
indicated the Arabs: a Fez. "
After spending the night in sailing, the first rays of the
Sun, Richard went to one of the gates of the
city in search of a caravan that was heading south. Luck
accompanied him, and he could join some
merchants who were traveling to the city of Haifa, where
would embark towards Alexandria and Fez.
With great sadness, Richard left Damascus, where he was
undoubtedly a part of your heart.
* *
A beautiful sailboat Latin led him to the port of
Alexandria. The great Egyptian metropolis not
aroused no interest in Richard, very sorry for having to
leave precipitously Damascus
and without word loss. With a relatively low mood, he
contacted a Greek ship captain who
directed more toward the western Mediterranean. After
consulting with him, decided to embark on his sailboat,
which, incidentally, was carrying large quantities of wine
from Syria, so as to afford to travel south
which so aptly called it Mare Nostrum the Roman Fez and
reach in a few dates.
The route took him through northern Africa after making
several stops in small ports and
even stopped several days on the small island of Malta,
Captain Richard recommended that land
Ghazaouet in town. Once there, and after purchasing a mule
and the necessary food, turned
Interior of the Kingdom of Morocco, towards the city of
Oudjda, which came after several days of travel. In
Outside the city, erected a tent, like nomads of the
merchants, along with the other
travelers to take extra security. A weak light of a lamp,
Richard re-opened the book to him
taken there. "The Arabs and Africans meet every year to
review the various arts, to
whether discoveries have been made better and to find out
whether the assumptions have been scorned by the
experience. The fruits produced each year are used to
progress these discussions of mathematics, the
Physical and magic, that are the specialties of the people
of Fez. "How different it sounded from the
endless discussions he had heard in England for more
trivial matters! Europe had forgotten
clear, a very important part of their cultural heritage to
go into the arms of superstition,
as he had so often insisted on the great Voltaire. You may
find in Fez, finally, a
clear indication of where to find the missing word that
would lead him to the tomb of Hiram Abiff and treasure ...
The next sentence read even more intimate intuition
confirmed: "In Fez contacted those
often called the elementary population, who entrusted him
with many secrets. "
The next day, Richard joined a group of traders who went to
Fez, which came after
several days of travel. If something Fez was characterized
by its great mix of visitors. Fez, a crossroads of
roads, sacred city of Islam, was the great cultural center
of Morocco. Richard came into the city by
Guissa Bab, one of the doors facing the wall to go below in
a maze
streets full of men and animals. As it could be diverted to
a road less traveled that
also was nicely covered by a lattice decreased the strong
effects of the Sun with a
29
pleasant feeling in it, Richard is distracted wandering
aimlessly through the city until they came to
An imposing building that was more to know, hosting the
largest mosque in the world. His name was
Qaraouyine and could contain up to 20,000 people. That was
a big temple! But what most excited
Richard was next to the mosque which had a large library
with a large number of book manuscripts in
mostly from Spain,
With such an encouraging and exciting scene, Richard was
ready to take up residence for a
time in the city of Fez. Without too much trouble this time
was able to rent rooms in a
building not far from the great mosque at the entrance of
the Bab Muley Idris, a street full of shops
of all kinds.
The life of Richard then entered into a smooth routine
consists of endless hours in the library,
consultation and reading interesting books and long walks
through the various neighborhoods of the city. In line
cities like Damascus, Fez had entire neighborhoods where
different cultures and religions lived together without
problem. So were many synagogues which shared the north of
the town, and even
Richard arrived in stable contact with a teacher of
rabbinical school in Fez. The Melaj, district
Jew, came to have no secrets from Richard. Something
similar happened with the Al Andalus Aduat, the
neighborhood of
Andalusia, which, in successive stages, thousands of
families from the mainland kingdom were
established after the exile. Some of the descendants of the
Andalusian retained in part its
language, like the Jews who fled from there too. Indeed, by
establishing contact
some of them, Richard has learned the language of Cervantes
... and never better. With some twists
archaic and continually surprised to learn new words of
course Arabic and Hebrew origin,
Richard came to master a new language.
Beyond these issues, Richard began to be a little tired of
staying in that area,
observed as a humiliating treatment towards women and
religious dogma out of their own beliefs.
The time passed and word search seemed completely lost
stagnant. In fact, the book
which narrates the journey of Christian Rosenkreutz did not
offer too many interpretations. So, after
four years living in Fez, Richard decided to continue the
journey reflected in the Fama Fraternitatis: `Fr C. R.
departed
Spain has for many precious objects in your luggage. Since
his trip had been so
profitable, fueling the hope that the scientists of Europe
would welcome him with a deep
joy, and from that moment, all his studies on cimentarían
as secure bases. "As in
past, Richard has not gone beyond this paragraph. Somehow I
knew that should continue
forward without jump into the events.
In late 1855, in a time not too suitable for touring,
Richard directed his steps towards
Spain, another conservative in religious matters, where the
Catholic Church and the Inquisition were a real
cancer. In his luggage he had added a third book, a
manuscript copy of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote
de la Mancha, by Miguel de Cervantes. More than one
fragment, such as the fight against the gentleman
windmills that Richard did not feel so lonely.
On his trip north again to pass through the city to Oudjda
from there go to Melilla
city under Spanish flag in Moroccan territory.
Just enter Melilla, Richard knew that something had
changed. The city was born as a prison
and, despite the large turnover that was seen in the
streets, showed a large military presence.
Moreover, despite living then on a time of peace, the
constant clashes with the
Moroccans had not favored the development of the site. As
quickly as he could, Richard won a place
in a small boat that was heading to the Spanish coast and,
after crossing the Strait of Gibraltar with a
Tue something moved, set foot in the city of Malaga.
* *
After spending a few days in Malaga, lodged in a simple
hotel in the neighborhood of fishermen, period
you spent to buy clothes and rebuild European appearance,
Richard, finally decided to address the
capital of Spain, Madrid, which would, if the attackers
were allowed to proceedings after a long e -
uncomfortable journey. On his way he left behind cities
like Cordova, where, despite the valiant attempts
Christianized, the track was still very much Muslim;
Andújar, Valdepeñas, Manzanares .. all cities
with a long history of strife between Muslims and
Christians, and where the Jewish footprint, although weak,
also left out. Finally, in spring 1856, Richard came to
Madrid.
Richard has just never found at home in Madrid. Waiting
outside the great European capital, it
people seemed disproportionately large, with one big
difference between them and other districts, despite
that some areas were beautiful. The people, however, were
very religious and intolerant, by action of the
Catholic Church and the Inquisition.
Stayed in the city center, right on the famous and
beautiful street and, without knowing too truce
decided to resume contacts with his brother Mason.
According to remember clearly, on their way through the
Hell Fire Club had spoken of the lodge
Matritense, created by the founder of the Club, the Duke of
Wharton, the capital of Spain. This had happened
in 1726, shortly after Richard was initiated in
Freemasonry. After a few visits to the
British Embassy, who helped him also to resume contact with
the London law firm
care of their properties, got the information I needed to
visit a lodge, which deliberately does not
was too far from your hotel.
30
Richard did not cost him to get used again to Masonic
rituals, or the exquisite treatment that
dispensed his brothers, but ... missed unless the
revolutionary spirit that he had known in
Iiluminati of Bavaria and the brothers who traveled with
him the streets of Paris during the Revolution.
Richard Holbein discovered, after years of Asian and
African lands, that the Freemasons
Anglo did not seem too evolve in response to the times they
lived and which remained
conservative, logical thing, since it was founded by two
Protestant pastors.
The trip, moreover, seemed to have ended.
One winter night, as early as 1857, Richard opened the book
again Fraternitatis of Fame,
something that was not several months ago. In the light of
a gas lamp, which is beginning to
installed in Madrid read: "We taught them [the scholars of
Spain] and fruit plants and animals new new
ancient philosophy determines. Made available a new axioms
that can solve all
problems. But all they found it ridiculous. As it was
feared that his business largely unknown
reputation would be compromised and forced to return to
confess and to begin their studies
their inveterate errors, which were used and the benefits
that got enough, that
reforming the concerns of others to be successful. "
And then it became clear, very clear. At the last fragment,
summarizing what he had found Richard
in Madrid: a dead end where there was no place for your
search. The brothers are not Spanish
had shown at all receptive to his explanations, so they had
chosen not to make
why members of your trip or the ultimate end of it.
With great disappointment inside Richard spacing was
gradually his attendance at the lodge. Again
refuge in the reading, which was learned by the great
authors of Spanish literature.
Precisely through the literature, could understand some of
the more idiosyncratic Spanish, in which the
Catholic Church and the cruel Inquisition had ceased to
print its profound impact fire.
After a few years during which Richard was devoted to the
study of Spanish culture, language and history,
something away when he left the search of the word lost,
the tomb of Hiram Abiff and his treasure, the situation
politics of the country did decide to return to England.
Spain, which had not been marked or not
territorial cohesion and for its political stability,
continued to be involved in republican insurrections
against the monarchy and senseless wars in its African
colonies.
With suitcases full of books and the book of the Count
Saint-Germain always safe,
Richard Holbein returned to England after a long journey in
the early 1860s. In his mansion
Yalding, took time to meditate on the long journey that led
him to Cyprus, Damascus, Fez ... and felt
longing.
In his first night in England, was also a word associated
with sleep loss, the tomb of
Hiram Abiff and the treasure of all treasures. Dreamed that
was going through a tunnel and in the end he was with
Christian Rosenkreutz. Master C. R. him a box containing a
gold plate with the following
motto: "After thirty years, sought to Rosacruz Order."
At the wake, Richard observed the sky through the windows
of his bedroom and recalled his last
long journey. He thought that once again he played wait and
search, in this case the Order Rosacruz. But
Where was the word lost?
THE GOLDEN DAWN, the Ordo Templi Orientis
AND THE RITE OF MEMPHIS-MISRAÏM
"The influence of the Golden Dawn
modern occultism is continuous ... "
James Wasserman, and murderers Templarios
Fall 1890. Outskirts of London
A curious duo was sharing a car of horses traveling at high
speed towards London
the night of November 28, 1890. One was Richard Holbein the
eternal and the other a middle-aged man
and strange-looking aristocrat.
Mathers-My name. And I think we should talk about any topic
of interest, non-boring suggested
Holbein the companion, breaking a silence that lasted an
hour.
I do not know what you want to talk, sir. Politics is not
of interest, except for early
universal. The economy also fascinates me ... Richard
replied with some disdain.
Politics and economics are a charade. And all the
masquerades have some claim. There is talk of
franc-masons, of conspiracies ... -Mathers said.
I do not think it is for both. I know the Masons and I have
never thought that there might be a plot
International latter. While it is true that had anything to
do with revolutions in the past pointed
Richard.
Mathers looked at the stranger with some surprise to
Richard Holbein.
- Where do you come from? He asked.
31
West-Del said Richard.
- Where do I go? Mathers-asked again.
East-Al said Richard.
- What will you find the East?
-Master of a Lodge said Richard.
- Brother, enough! Mathers said the fact that Richard knew
the first words of retejo
degree of Master Mason. I've been a member of the Grand
Lodge and I believe you.
Both brothers smiled and exchanged hugs fraternal, but
Mathers was encouraged and at times
continued testing the level of initiation of Holbein, who
did not understand very well how it was developing
the situation.
- Are you Rosacruz Knight ... Where we were given ... Who
was he? ... What do you seek? ... --
Mathers asked again with a slight smile and leaving an
impasse between questions.
Richard thought it was guessed that the degree of retejo 18
°, Sovereign Prince of Rosacruz, Rite
Scots Ancient and Accepted 33 degrees, and apologized
saying that he had not met or the degree to
any Masonic obedience.
No need to apologize, brother-Mathers replied a smile. In
fact, I'm not in favor of
Masonic degrees, although the highest ever in several
rituals, and that my line is freemasonry rosicruciana.
Richard Holbein noticed that the heart gave a roll. To be
reminded to seek and find the Order
Rosacruz in 1890 and believed to be facing one of its
representatives, a brother rosacruz, perhaps
mysterious Invisible College that led from the first three
were published in early manifest
xvii century. O was a coincidence or by fate he was driving
on the right track.
Brother, freemasonry rosicruciana of that talk is related
to the Order Rosacruz? --
Richard babble.
Yes, Mathers said with a shrug authoritarian.
And ... Where can I contact that freemasonry rosicruciana?
Richard asked, noticing a
some anxiety.
Brother, give me your details and you get an information of
said Mathers again.
Richard will provide its data, just as the horse car
stopped at the first stop in London
and the trip was coming to an end. Holbein Mathers told him
to be down and the two brothers were fired
hurry with a triple and a hug you soon. The way the word
had been lost
recovered.
**
Fifteen days after the meeting, Richard Holbein received in
a package sent from mansion
London. Inside you found the history lesson of the Hermetic
Order of the Golden Dawn. This
explained roughly as follows: `During the decade of the
eighties of the nineteenth century, the Reverend
Alphonsus Woodford, masonic writer of topics, discovered a
manuscript encryption. Unable to decrypt it is
gave it in 1887 to Dr. William Wynn Westcott, a prominent
member of the SRIA (Societas in Rosicruciana
Anglia). Westcott found more or less the content of the
manuscript and direction of such a Fraulein Anna
Sprengel. She wrote and she said, appearing as a prominent
temple adept rosacruz Lichte
Liebe Leben in Nuremberg. As a result of correspondence, he
gave a title foundational Westcott
for the establishment of a similar order in the United
Kingdom. And thus, was founded in autumn
1887 the Isis-Urania Temple of the Scholars of the Golden
Dawn Hermetics led by Westcott,
Mathers and Woodman. "
Inside the package of the Golden Dawn, were also a few
exercises and reflections
very basic, as well as a starter.
Richard, after several months of study and practice, took
the decision that I wanted to be initiated at the Golden
Dawn and agreed to its inception on 15 April 1891, always
with the hope of finding
floor leading to the lost tomb of Hiram Abiff and the
treasure of all treasures.
And so, on the agreed date, perfectly dressed, went to Mark
Mason's Hall in Great Queen
Street, WC2 district of London, ready to be initiated in
the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He
knew the building, but once again, upon arriving at their
doors, stopped to observe its austere beauty.
After greeting a brother and suitably prepared, waited in
the courtyard under the watchful eye of
a sentinel, while the Hierophant, who was none other than
the strange Mathers, spoke to those assembled. Since the
Neophytos the room, a voice was heard: "Son of Earth! Get
up into the path of darkness! "
A second voice cried: 'It having been established, you can
not enter our sacred
temple!
Richard was purified with water and fire.
The Hierophant cried again: "Son of Earth!, What are the
reasons that move you to seek
admission to our Order? "
By Richard A voice replied: "My soul wanders from darkness,
seeking the light of hidden knowledge, and
I firmly believe that this Order is possible to obtain
knowledge of the Light. "
Richard was not noticed nervous. Continued the ritual until
the end and made the appropriate oaths, seeing
Light as the first novice of the Golden Dawn.
32
The Golden Dawn had in his breast the Order of the Red Rose
and the Cross of Gold, as the successor to the
Rosacruz Golden eighteenth century. Through grade 5, the
followers were in the Golden Dawn outsourcing. Grade
5th to 8th, the followers were in the Order Rosacruz
internally. And the last three degrees were from the
Astrum Argentum more hidden. The first degrees were engaged
in astral travel, the Cabala. Degrees
Rosicrucian were more focused on magic. And the upper
grades were used to contact the heads
secret or top unknown, known as the Great White
Brotherhood.
Richard Holbein had no problem climbing them well. Was
progressively neophyte Zelator,
Theoricus, Practicus, philosophus ... and to get to the
first internal order in 1897, the Order of the Red Rose and
Cross of Gold also climbed three other degrees and
completed the ascent in 1900. The upper grades will
Richard served to learn the art of magic and contact with
the Holy Guardian Angel, which was associated
with Baphomet, but nevertheless missed the real word is
resisted, beyond those contacts and
the "lost words" that gave him the Golden Dawn.
The "missing word" most famous INRI the Golden Dawn was
supposedly the initials of "Jesus of
Nazareth, King of the Jews "brought by the Romans in Latin
at the top of the cross. The word INRI, in
Golden Dawn had several readings: "Natura Ignea Renovatur
Integra" or "all of nature is renewed by the
fire ',' I = = Water Yam, Nour N = = Fire R = Ruach = Air,
I = = Yebeshas Earth ...
In this last case, the initial four were even used as the
original Hebrew name of
four old items.
Another meaning of INRI era:
I = Yod = Virgo
N = Nun = Scorpio
R = Resh = Sol
I = Yod = Virgo
Virgo is the sign of the virgin nature. Scorpio is the sign
of death and transformation. And
Sun is the source of light and life. All the gods who are
connected with the rise solar symbolism.
Nature itself is involved in the aforementioned cycle of
birth, death and resurrection. Jesus, by
therefore would only be a reproduction of myths of death
and resurrection as Osiris, Adonis ...
Thanks to Mathers, and in late 1903, Richard was also
discovered that the word INRI sacred
18th degree of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, the
Sovereign Prince of Rosacruz. The documents of this
explained almost the same degree on the initials INRI.
These letters, according to the documents could
understood as' Natura Ignea Renovatur Integra "," all of
nature is renewed by fire. "
This stated that all of nature is born, dies and is
regenerated or renewed always via
power which has renewed the fire, and Jesus is a myth that
remains linked to renewed chain
Birth, death and rebirth, as Osiris or Hiram Abiff.
Other meanings were INRI "Isis Naturae Regina Ineffabilis",
"Isis, queen of the ineffable nature and
Above all, "Ingenio Numen Resplendor Iacchis', 'God is the
true Iacchus, Dionysus, Baphomet ...». INRI
was also "Iustus NECAR REGESA wrong-doers," the right to
kill the wicked kings.
Richard, to read and reread the documents of the Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite in the winter of 1905, drew
the conclusion that, again, Baphomet was the key to
discover the lost word and should
renew their march to the Freemasons or any similar order,
if it still wants to find her. The
Golden Dawn had not lost since the word, but an opening of
interest and "lost words" not
led to the goal of the long quest: to find the location of
the tomb of Hiram, and his great
treasure.
Richard walked crestfallen by their apparent failure and
ended in his mansion Yalding. In the years
after its passage by the Golden Dawn, barely had time to
learn what was happening in the external world,
as it was ravaged by its apparent failure. Already in the
years 1908 and 1909, Richard resumed his activity
Masonic and traveled to London more often, although they
still felt that there was a failed state
the height of what I wanted from the Count Saint-Germain.
One day in autumn 1911, however, the visit by
a mysterious surprise changed the course of their
investigations. You could say that a visit
saved him from the unexpected failure in the long search
for the word missing from the tomb of Hiram Abiff and the
great treasure. And that is the miracle, the miracle with
only capital letters, saved well by Richard Holbein.
* *
A kind of explosion was about to throw to the ground the
main door of the mansion of a Holbein
cold night of autumn 1911. Richard was quick to look for
one of the big windows to see what
occurred at the main entrance. A young man was banging on
the door and his face pale skin desencajado
revealed some horror. Richard Holbein, somewhat alarmed,
ran to the door of the mansion and opened it,
thinking that perhaps a surprise awaited him. Not just give
him time to speak, the young stranger, dressed
English with the best clothes, came running into the
mansion and screams: 'Close the door, quickly! "Richard
obeyed and went to rescue him from the terrible terror
stalking.
-I am running in London ... "Said the young man without air
in the lungs. Is he ... And it comes after me.
- Him? Who is he? Richard asked, noting that there was no
one.
The boy began to tremble.
The devil-as Templar, Baphomet.

The wind caused the gates at the main entrance to the
mansion a heavy blow and the Richard
I notice a chill.
Young, should subside. There is no reason to fear. Nobody
is going to hurt. Even Baphomet
Richard reuse.
The boy was lifted from the ground and looked at Richard.
You are Mr. Holbein. Only you can help ...
Young-babble.
Richard smiled and invited the couple to move to a
residence of the mansion, trying to calmly and in a spirit
of
find out what happened. In their decades-long search, the
eternal Holbein had not seen anything like it.
It was difficult to draw more young veiled secrets, but in
the end they not only appeared, but even a
clue about the missing word.
My name is Charles and I am of Irish origin. As a young man
I became interested in occult themes, thanks
that my brother was' sensitive ', and then worked on a
thematic bulletin occultists. One day, the director
of publication, the sorceress Yoni, I made contact with a
group of very low magic entity dedicated to
sexuality and magic, thanks to one of its members, met the
Order of Argentum Astrum Aleister Crowley,
a character who comes, from what I could ascertain, the
Golden Dawn ... Charles-the mysterious
is twisted in his seat and shrugged his face white and
sickly, while delivering these very names
nervous.
-How interesting ... Richard commented upon hearing the
name Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley.
I know the Golden Dawn and I have talked far above such
that Crowley. I think it was the origin of
problems that led to the lamentable state of the Golden
Dawn today, faced with several divisions.
Crowley was an impressive young man. It started in the
Golden Dawn in 1898 and reached its first
degrees away, then there was a fight in the order and
distanced from it. In the twenty-three years, was a
excellent climber and poet. He earned a degree in chemistry
at Cambridge and had an uncanny ability
for magic, but it passes through the Golden Dawn ended
badly ... In 1902, Crowley, near the German engineer
Oscar Eckenstein, triumphantly climbed the highest Chogo Ri
in the Himalayas and reached the twenty-three thousand
feet. In
1904, Crowley had a kind of disclosure of an entity, Aiwass
in Cairo. In 1907, he headed the
Astrum Argentum new in 1909 and staged a show that caused a
scandal esoteric, The Rites
Eleusis, a theater in London ... In those years, a movement
called Thelema, which in Greek
means "will" ... "Said Charles, with the face of
circumstances and a slight smile.
"I remember, also remember a couple of times we agree the
Golden Dawn, because I
I was affiliated. I spoke of him as an authentic
pornócrata, inclined to the most brazen bisexuality.
I think what equated to Osear Richard Wilde, said with a
smile.
Yes, so he endorsed Charles. " Well, as I said, 1909 was
the year of The Rites of Eleusis, and was
Crowley then when I met through a friend who gave me his
address. I settled in and around London
Crowley went well until I insisted on using drugs to
practice magic in the A. A. After my
no, he insisted that he could join in on the secret Ordo
Templi Orientis, one of the seven or eight
organizations that are related. I received a strange letter
from the organization and decided to depart,
and I began to notice from that moment that I followed the
steps Baphomet. I want your help. I want him away
Me. I know that you are a high level of the Golden Dawn and
I want to help me overcome persecution
Baphomet of which I am a victim.
"Baphomet, Baphomet, Baphomet ', Holbein heard inside his
mind before proceeding with the
conversation.
-Well, anything else? "Asked Richard.
Yes, something more, "said Charles. The Ordo Orientis or
OTO of Crowley was founded by German freemason
Karl Kellner and his head is now another German high-grade
Mason, Theodor Reuss, the head of the Rite of
Memphis-Misraim, who in 1902 established his sovereign
sanctuary in Germany. The creator of the Egyptian Rite was
the famous Cagliostro, which were derived Rite Misraim,
original developed in France and Naples by
Bedarride the three brothers, and the Eastern Rite of
Memphis, founded by Étienne Marconis in Paris ...
"Paris, Paris, Paris, Richard heard in his mind. Stopped
with an explanation of Charles
and was thoughtful gesture. For a moment, reminded
Cagliostro, in his thought and believed that Egyptian
Freemasonry
the Ordo Templi Orientis, a Memphis-associated Misraim,
could preserve the mystery of Baphomet, and the word
loss that had not been reached with the Illuminati of
Weishaupt, or the Golden Dawn. But how to contact
with Crowley? wondered silently to himself at the same time
noting that Charles would not stop squirming
in his seat.
-Dear Charles, his explanations are of great interest. I
appreciate your sincerity. I promise you
I will work magic in line with the high levels of the
Golden Dawn to prevent re-Baphomet
bothering you, and be assured that it will be cash-pointed
Richard seriously. But I only want to change
ask a favor: a form of contact with Crowley and the Ordo
Templi Orientis of London.
Charles was very thoughtful in silence. He knew that peace
and triumph over their nightmares well worth
a contact. Eventually, after some ramblings, babble 'agree'
and was mired back in their
thoughts. After spending the night in the mansion of
Richard, unable to sleep more than an hour
Then Charles came to London the next day. Was better, while
he had solved
a great problem to Holbein.

In spring 1913, the magical work of Richard Holbein in line
with the high degree of
Golden Dawn ended up with nightmares of Charles on
Baphomet, and the young Irish could rest
throughout the summer. In appreciation, by the end of 1913,
Charles kept his promise and sent him to
Richard Crowley, and the leadership of the Ordo Templi
Orientis of London. The eternal Holbein attempted contact
in the following months, but the followers of Crowley told
then that the curious Frater
Baphomet, Aleister Crowley, was in Europe doing some "very
important work magic
for the future of humanity "and that would need to wait for
his return. At that time, the fame of
Crowley had risen, after being elected Patriarch Grand
Administrator General grade 33, grade 90 and grade
96 ° of the Rite of Memphis-Misráim, in his study of Fulham
Road, and head of the Ordo Templi Orientis
for United Kingdom, as the Supreme and Holy King of
Ireland, canvas and all who are in Brittany
Sanctuary of the Gnosis. This significantly increased the
devout followers in the ranks of his movement, the
already started to cover several organizations: the
Argentum Astrum the Ordo Templi Orientis ...
When in 1914 Richard was at last close to establish a
personal contact with Crowley
the multifaceted Frater Baphomet disappeared from the
public scene, to reappear suddenly in United States
and surprise, which forced him to follow his wake.
Aleister Crowley THE MEETING WITH THE 'BIG BEAST'
"Crowley and Reuss merged its mysteries.
Brother Merlin (Reuss) explained to the brother
Baphomet (Crowley) the theory behind
one school of alchemy using fluids
sex as "elixir of life."
John Symonds, The Great Beast
December 1915. New York, United States
Richard Holbein for a very short time could not get to sail
along with Aleister Crowley to States
America. On October 24 of that year, the famous English
magician had left to
New World aboard the Lusitania, and Richard, meanwhile,
could find passage on the Star
East, a major transatlantic that allowed American lands
only to arrive two weeks after
Crowley.
Without doubt, New York was the host port for many
immigrants who came to the 'land
pledged "to achieve the illusion of a bright future.
Richard hoped to find something, even if
If their goal was to discover the lost word and the tomb of
Hiram Abiff with its great treasure. Confident
that Frater Baphomet, Crowley took that magic name in
assuming the leadership of the OTO in the United Kingdom,
will finally lead to the desired word lost. Interestingly,
the best track he had obtained to
then surely the word Baphomet.
Crowley appeared in the adventures of Richard United States
by the most simple and
unexpected. The morning of December 13, Richard hojeaba
distractedly newspaper, The World Magazine,
while taking a cup of coffee. A company press release
immediately caught his attention: "Aleister
Crowley, who has recently arrived in New York, is the
strangest man I have every
known, "explained the journalist. "It is a man who raises
the discussion in the other. With an intense
magnetism, like repels attracts, but with the same
violence. "As we had anticipated in
London, Crowley did not leave anyone indifferent, it was
clear. This will spur even more to Richard, who
out to find the "Beast" as some called him, without further
delay, which could get
easily without even intending it. A few days before
Christmas, Richard, who had contacted
with some brothers from New York Masons, received an
invitation to attend the Christmas dinner
organized the well-known attorney John Quinn. The lawyer, a
personal friend of the writer William Butler Yeats,
member in turn of the extinct Golden Dawn, had spoken to
the latter's father, John Butler Yeats,
who reported the presence of Richard Holbein in New York.
Quinn, without hesitation, Richard invited to spend
date as indicated in your home.
So the night of December 24, 1914, Richard was at the home
of John Quinn, 40 of
West 36th Street, knowing that I was a guest of then-
attorney: Aleister Crowley.
Certainly it was in the right direction.
Describing Crowley was very difficult. His face reflected a
once great serenity and wisdom as
showed a soft and effeminate. Note worthy and elegant,
wearing ensortijados fingers and wearing a
haircut something peculiar to erect a prominent tuft in the
shape of a horn. To be submitted, Richard
noticed that his hand was soft, while appreciated the
strong magnetism of his gaze.
I am delighted to meet you, Mr. Crowley said while Holbein-
pressed his hand.
-I would say the same, sir, "replied Richard politely. I
must say also that the reason for my
Travel to United States has been the desire to meet him
personally ...
- Wow! Do not know how much I am glad to hear you say that.
Do you know my books and my work? Inquired with -
Frater Baphomet quickly.
