View Full Version : A Question for Freemasons:Who or What is Jahbulon?

Hi guys.
I've got a thread going on solar eclipses here: http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1201677&posted=1#post1201677 and the name 'Jabulon' came up in connection to an underground 'Copper City' in Africa, which is ruled by a reptilian of that name.
This is what Credo Mutwa has to say:
Jabulon, sir, is a very strange god. He is supposed to be the leader of the Chitauli. He is a god, to my great surprise, which I find certain groups of White people, especially, worshipping. We have known about Jabulon for many, many centuries, we Black people. But I am surprised that there are White people who worship this god, and these people, amongst them are people whom many have blamed for all the things that have happened on this Earth, namely, the Freemason people. We believe that Jabulon is the leader of the Chitauli. He is the Old One. And one of his names, in the African language, sir, is Umbaba-Samahongo-“the lord king, the great father of the terrible eyes”-because we believe that Jabulon has got one eye which, if he opens it, you die if he looks at you.

According to Wikipedia, in a Masonic context:
Jahbulon (or Jabulon) is a word which was used historically in some rituals of Royal Arch Masonry. According to Francis X. King, it is also used in Ordo Templi Orientis rituals.
There has been much debate over the origin and meaning of this word. There is no consensus even among Masonic researchers as to its meaning or legitimacy: one Masonic scholar alleges that the word first appeared in an early 18th Century Royal Arch ritual as the name of an allegorical explorer searching for the ruins of King Solomon's Temple; another Masonic scholar believes it is a descriptive name for God in Hebrew; other, non-Masonic, authors have alleged that it is a Masonic name for God, and even the name of a unique "Masonic God", despite repeated statements by Freemasonry's officials that "There is no separate Masonic God", nor a separate proper name for a deity in any branch of Freemasonry.[1][2] It is this interpretation of a "Masonic God" that has led to debates about and condemnation of Freemasonry by several religious groups. In England, no ritual containing the name has been in official Masonic use since February 1989. [3]
Jahbulon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can I ask what you guys make of 'Jahbulon' from the perspective of your understanding of Freemasonry, and secondly, what do you think about Credo Mutwa connecting the word to the name of the ruler of this alleged underground city in Africa?
Thanks.

It was the "substitute" name for God invented by the Moderns form of freemasonry and included in the "Royal Arch" or completion of the Third Degree.
It is a composite word in an attempt to justify the term "A Supreme Being". It suggests that there are several names for the same God. Of course, this notion is what came under such heavy public attack in the 1990's, which is why it was dropped by the Moderns in favour of the single word "Jehovah".
This is supposedly the secret word of a (3rd degree) Master Mason, except that we all know it.
"Hiram Abiff was probably never heard of in a Lodge until after 1717 ... The legend of the Third Degree was introduced by the newcomers into Masonry ... - Albert Pike 1886 (SOURCE: Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Charles Sumner Lobingier, 1932)

I will leave Moderns to explain this one because I have an opinion that is contrary to theirs, but it is that, an opinion.
The important thing is what they believe it to be. You cannot trick people into saying something that they either do not know or do not believe in, and then later claim that because they repeated certain words that they must have believed it in the first place.
PS: (sorry, missed it) The current Moderns ritual, and the composite name, was invented by the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons according to the Old Institution, 1751 (The Antients). Acceptance of it as the completion of the third or Master Mason's degree was a pre-requisite for the agreed capitulation by The Grand Lodge of London in 1813, which allowed the formation of The United Grand Lodge of England. Prior to this The Grand Lodge of London stated that Craft freemasonry consists of three degrees and three degrees only, the Entered Apprentice, the fellow Craft, and the Master Mason.

No problem.
I'm not trying to trick you or anyone else and quote you out of context at a later date.
I don't expect anyone has all the answers, just looking for interpretations.
I'm currently musing on the phonetic similarity between Jahbulon or Jabulon, and 'Babylon'.

No, not at all. Wires in place. In England, ever since the union of 1813 which brought about the formation of The United Grand Lodge of England, the word JAH-BUL-ON has been the substitute secret word of a Master Mason until it was dropped in favour of the word Jehovah on its own.
This word was imparted to all newly made Companions of the Royal Arch in England since the formation of the Antients Grand Lodge in 1756. It is no longer used AT ALL in England within the Moderns Craft system.
As you know, although American Moderns lodges all claim regularity because of their original Charters or warrants issued by English, Scottish or Irish Moderns freemasonry, it has been reformed and restructured for American useage since the American Revolution. What we are debating here is the use of the word JAH-BUL-ON, and not where it is or is not used.
Perhaps you would like to explain what this word means to you, especially because you still use it. I do not wish to interfere with this because our Grand Lodge has never used this composite word for "God".

...Thankyou Grandsecretary for your informative answer.Ja-Bul-On,was just,to
me that is,whether it has bearing of the truth or not,was exactly as you said
a composite word for God.God,being the English translation of the word EL in
Hebrew.As many other languages,would have their own interpretation of the word.Freemasonary,has it's own language,so as to keep the secrets for those uninitiated,and for those,who eavedrop at the temple doors.Although,you once informed me,that the higher degrees are performed at private estates...
which makes alot of sense,especially today,with directional microphones and
other surveillance equipment available these days.Not saying that's the reason for the venue change,but it certainly worked well.
...But while you are here,just like to let you know,I thoroughly enjoy Manly P Hall books and find Questions and Answers,to be the most practical guide to
life and spiritual aspects.The Secret Destiny of America was great to,with it's comparisons of modern America as the twin sister to Atlantis.
...Don't want to side-track the thread here,but I was amazed to find the Negroes of Africa,once practiced Freemasonary as well,but excluded,from joining the lodge,until recently.Just look at the Sphinx's head,a female negroid
.There was a time,the world achieved greater technological success,than we have today.After the great cataclysm,you find many peoples returning to tribal roots and abandoning the Mystery school teachings,that went through a revival during the Babylonian times,which influenced the Hebrew Kabbalah.
...like the snake,eating it's tale,we seem to be caught in a cycle,of achievement,golden periods,followed by decadence and destruction,just to reform and rebuild,to play the cycle over again.But the torch just gets passed to a different group each time...can you see what I'm saying here...
...the knowledge is dangerous,without a spiritual view.Sounds ridiculous to
the mundane,but you understand,this.And thankyou Grand Secretary,for informing with the last post,I appreciate,regards sir.

No, what I asked you is to explain why JAH-BUL-ON is polytheistic, but God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost of Christianity is not. Free Masonry, and Christianity come from the same roots, and they were both polytheistic. Christianity had both Gods, and Godesses, for quite some time.

Opinion accepted. I always get on quite well with keystone until someone else throws the bone, and we end up chewing it.
I am not a Freemason, but according to what I know, Jahbulon is a representation of one and the same deity. The name is composed of 3 sources:
1) Yahweh -> "According to the Bible, Yahweh is the personal name of the one true God who delivered Israel from Egypt and gave the Ten Commandments"
2) Baal -> Canaanite deity
3) Aton -> "Aten (or Aton) was the disk of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and originally an aspect of Ra. He became the deity of the monotheistic — in fact, monistic — religion Atenism of Amenhotep IV, who took the name Akhenaten. The worship of Aten seemed to stop shortly after Akhenaten's death."
The missing connection between all three is provided by the Hyksos - the ancient Shepherd Kings of Egypt (shown on the left)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Ibscha.jpg
The Hyksos ruled Egypt from 13th to 17th dynasty and were expelled from the country at the end of the 17th dynasty. The pharaoh who introduced monotheism in Egypt for the first time was Amenhotep IV (aka Akhenaten). He forced the popolation to worship Aton as the only true god. Some people have argued (based on the available historical evidence) that Akhenaten was only a puppet of the Hyksos, who ruled behind his throne. They were kicked out of Egypt after his death. It has been argued also that the Hyksos were of semitic origin and their stay in Egypt is the source for the Exodus myth in the Bible. The Torah itself is largely a plagiarized account of earlier Egyptian, Babylonian and Sumerian legends.
The first time I stumbled upon the Hyksos connection was through the work of Michael Tsarion "The Irish Origins of Civilization". Do your own research.

The Prophet Elijah's challenge of the Hebrew priests of Baal is one of the most moving Bible accounts. (1 Kings 8:18-40) The Bible indicates that at one time the majority of Hebrew priests and people followed the rituals of Baal worship.
"Baal... has the precise meaning in Gaelic as in Phoenician - the lord of heaven." Many customs hearken back to Palestine, as well; "Even the cakes which the idolatrous Jews, in imitation of the Phoenicians, made in honour of the queen of heaven are still the most popular cake in Ireland under the old name of the barnbrack, or speckled cake."

It was the "substitute" name for God invented by the Moderns form of freemasonry and included in the "Royal Arch" or completion of the Third Degree.
This is incorrect. The Royal Arch degree does not claim that it is "substitute" name for God, or any name of God.
The only name of God used in the Royal Arch degree is the Tetragrammaton.
To the OP:
It has been theorized that "Jah", "Bel", and "On" were three ancient Semitic words, all of which mean "Lord", and that therefore they were "descriptive" of God.

"Jahbulon" is not found in the Scottish Rite of Masonry, which has 33 degrees. It is instead found in some versions of the Royal Arch degree, and seems to be much more important to conspiracy theorists than it is to Masons.

True, but "Baal" is used in different contexts in the scriptures. The actual word "Ba'al" simply means "Lord", and can apply to any deity as a generic title.

JAH-BUL-ON is a tetragrammaton, as is the alternative word JE-HO-VAH.
Many, if not most, of the Ancient Pagan Gods and Goddesses were made up of three entities in one. This tradition is carried right into modern Christianity with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, three in one, a triune God, the Holy Trinity.

That's like saying the hexagram found in Golden Dawn is not like a hexagram found in Scottish Rite. At some level, it's really all one and the same.

Many, if not most, of the Ancient Pagan Gods and Goddesses were made up of three entities in one. This tradition is carried right into modern Christianity with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, three in one, a triune God, the Holy Trinity.
Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triune_gods
I thought the tetragrammaton meant 4 lettered word. True, Jehovah is one but only when spelt YHVH.

The Moderns state that both words are interchangeable/alternate. They are never communicated at length, but by three suitably qualified Masons, each expressing one of the three parts of the words, thereby making up the whole.
"Jah", "Bul", "On".
"Je", "ho", "vah".

probably the most famous depiction of jahbulon, for example used in the illuminati documentary series directed by chris everard, is taken from stephen knight's book "the brotherhood" (1984), pp. 236-240:
"In the ritual of exaltation, the name of the Great Architect of the Universe is revealed as JAH-BUL-ON -not a general umbrella term open to any interpretation an individual Freemason might choose, but a precise designation that describes a specific supernatural being - a compound deity composed of three separate personalities fused in one. Each syllable of the 'ineffable name' represents one personality of this Trinity:
JAH = Jahweh, the God of the Hebrews.
BUL = Baal, the ancient Canaanite fertility god associated with 'licentious rites of imitative magic'.
ON = Osiris, the Ancient Egyptian god of the underworld.
Baal, of course, was the 'false god' with whom Jahweh competed for the allegiance of the Israelites in the Old Testament. But more recently, within a hundred years of the creation of the Freemason's God, the sixteenth-century demonologist John Weir identified Baal as a devil. This grotesque manifestation of evil had the body of a spider and three heads - those of a man, a toad and a cat. A description of Baal to be found in de Plancy's Dictionary of Witchcraft is particularly apposite when considered in the light of the secretive and deceptive nature of Freemasonry: his voice was raucous, and he taught his followers guile, cunning and the ability to become invisible.
In 1873, the renowned masonic author and historian General Albert Pike, later to become Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Supreme Council (of the 33rd Degree) at Charleston, USA, wrote of his reaction on learning of Jah-Bul-On. He was disquieted and disgusted by the name, and went on: 'No man or body of men can make me accept as a sacred word, as a symbol of the infinite and eternal Godhead, a mongrel word, in part composed of the name of an accursed and beastly heathen god, whose name has been for more than two thousand years an appellation of the Devil.'
I have spoken to no less than fifty-seven long-standing Royal Arch Freemasons who have been happy to talk to me, to help me in my ambition to give Freemasonry 'a fair crack of the whip'. Most of them spoke quite freely, explaining without hesitation their views, reactions and answers to the criticisms and queries I raised. However, all but four lost their self-assurance and composure when I said, 'What about Jah-Bul-On?' Some, although they had previously told me they had been exalted to the Royal Arch, and therefore must have not only received the lecture on the name but also studied the passages and enacted the ritual relating to Jah-Bul-On, said they had never heard of it. In most cases the interviewees very rapidly brought the meeting to a close when I asked the question. Others laughed unconvincingly and extricated themselves from having to reply by jauntily saying such words as, 'Oh, that old chestnut', and passing quickly on to some other subject, normally going on the offensive with something like, 'Why are you so interested in Freemasonry in particular? Why don't you look into Christianity or something? Why do people always pick on Freemasonry?' -thereby diverting the conversation from the course I had plotted. If I insisted on returning to Jah-Bul-On, almost invariably the interview would be unceremoniously terminated. Others said that although they had heard of the word, they did not know what it meant. To them it meant God, and previously erudite Freemasons, with a precise knowledge of every other aspect of Masonry we had discussed, suddenly became vague and claimed ignorance of this most central of all Freemasonic subjects. While professing an almost total lack of knowledge of Jah-Bul-On, several dismissed it as of no real importance.
Charles Stratton, one Royal Arch Freemason for whom I have the utmost admiration, told me this of Jah-Bul-On: 'No one ever has time to think about its meaning, you're too busy trying to remember your words. As far as I know it's just another name for Jehovah.'
Acute silences, chiefly of embarrassment, followed my question on many occasions, as happened when I spoke to a most co-operative officer both of Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter.
We had been discussing whether or not Freemasonry was a religion, and I had run through my customary list of religious terms used in Freemasonry. Then I added, 'One comes across the phrase, "the sacred tenets of Freemasonry". This seems to imply that Masonry thinks of itself as a religion.'
The Grand Officer replied, 'No, I haven't said that. .. the sacred tenets?'
'Yes.'
'Well, the word sacred means holy.'
'Yes. Then there's the "Holy" Royal Arch.'
He paused. When he began to speak again it was much more slowly.
'Yes. The Holy Royal Arch. They are all expressions of ... religion in its fullest sense, not in a masonic sense. I cannot stress too strongly the fact that there is no masonic religion, no masonic god, deity or someone or something to which a Freemason must swear loyalty. No.'
'What about Jah-Bul-On?'
He was obviously taken off-guard. He said nothing for nearly ten seconds and looked most discomfited. At length, proceeding with the extreme caution of a man feeling his way through a thicket of thorns, he said: 'These are ... Hebrew words which are ... murdered from their original. And Jah is the Hebrew word for God, so it's God again. You come back to God, the real God. But these - ha! [he chuckled] - these are ways in which we express our loyalty to God.'
'It's interesting you should choose only to define the first syllable, which is of course the most acceptable to those with religious convictions. But what about the other parts of that word which are, are they not, Baal and Osiris?'
Another long pause. 'I don't know them. That's the higher echelons of Freemasonry.'
'That's in the Royal Arch, isn't it?'
'I don't do Royal Arch. I do Chapter, but not Royal Arch.'
This was the first lie he had told me, and I could see it was unpleasant for him.
I continued: 'It is established that Jahbulon is a composite name for God, made up of Jah—'
'What's Bul-On?'
'Bul is Baal and On is Osiris, the Ancient Egyptian god of the dead.'
'Well...'
'Pike was outraged when he heard that name for the first time and saw it associated with Freemasonry, which of course was so dear to him. He said that nothing would induce him to accept as the name of God a word which is in part the name of a pagan god and for more than two thousand years an appellation of the devil.'
'I agree on that, but I... I... I don't know about it. It's not that I don't want to. I don't know about it so I really can't comment. You'll have to ask someone who knows.'
'Does it worry you?'
'In one of the higher degrees they use Jesus Christ.'
'Yes, there are several masonic orders which are exclusively Christian - the Knights Templar, the Ancient and Accepted Rite, the Societas Rosicruciana, the Knights of Malta, the Order of Eri. But does the name Jah-Bul-On worry you?'
'Many Masons wouldn't subscribe to those Christian degrees.'
The implication was clear: if Christ was an acceptable part of Freemasonry even to a non-Christian, why not the devil as well? Unacceptable though he might be to most initiates, he has his place."
make of it what you like ;)

He was not lying hyerophant, he had been lied to. There is a big difference.
This is the core bone of contention between the pure and original form of Anglo-Saxon Free Masonry which requires a belief in God and the immortality of souls, and the Moderns, which does not. On the contrary.
They say that they are happy with "A supreme being", which means anything and nothing, Dei Sive Natura. The invented Moderns rituals (including JAH-BUL-ON) are the rituals of the Invisible College of The Rosicrucian Brotherhood, not Free Masonry at all, which is deeply religious.
The rank and file of the Moderns form of freemasonry have not a clue what they are into, and when it is shown to them, they either stick their heads in the sand, or become aggressive or offensive. Not all of them, but a vociferous minority. Most couldn't care less, "Where is the bar?"

The reference to the Moon God "Arma" is used elsewhere in the Moderns Royal Arch ceremonies where one of the kings (known as Principals) takes his seat, repeating the words "Arma Ruami", so I don't believe that it would also be used in JAH-BUL-ON. Arma Ruami is also a reference to Mary Magdalen.

I can't quite figure this one out though. On to Osiris. Same reason. The Moon God is referred to elsewhere in the same ceremony.
What may help is that a similar word is used elsewhere in a higher degree ceremony of the Moderns system - "JAHABULON", with an extra "A" in the middle.
PS: The English Moderns rituals say that the word is a "compound name" for God in the Assyrian (or Syriac), Chaldean and Hebrew languages. In America they claim that it is Hebrew, Babylonian and Egyptian. Egyptian words for Osiris are Asar, Aser, Ausar, Ausir, Wesir, Usir, Usire, Ausare, no ON.

We must remember that these rituals did not exist prior to 1720/1730. The word JAHBULON was not used prior to this period. The Moderns form of freemasonry is strictly a product of the Enlightenment.
Even if we see a connection with words in rituals, there is no actual connection with these ancient civilisations. It was all invented by the Rosicrucians.

What is very clear is that the rituals were merely a vehicle. Masonic ritual is not freemasonry. These rituals were introduced in order to divert the attention of the rank and file away from getting involved in the political upheavals of the day by focusing attention towards esotericism, and in order to embed Germanic Protestantism into the English psyche.

dawnismygoddess. When a Rosicrucian, or a Free Mason poses for a portrait, he does not need to give hand signals, and there is no point in doing so.

Even in these cases it is not a message saying, "Look everyone I am a Free Mason". Portraits are meant to record or catch, in paint, the essential character of the subject, for future generations, not existing ones.

I don't think the artists would depict the fingers that way to capture the essence of each character over a long sitting, because they wouldn't naturally hold their fingers like that for more than a few fleeting seconds at a time, if at all.

Well that is the easiest question to answer to date. Because those hand poses are meaningless to a Free Mason because, awkward or not, they are simply NOT Masonic or Rosicrucian signs.
Take a look at the number of posed paintings and photographs where women have their hands in similar poses. Hundreds of them.
Honestly, this discussion is pointless. If you want to read things into things that are not there then nobody can stop you, but it really exasperates me.

Well that is the easiest question to answer to date. Because those hand poses are meaningless to a Free Mason because, awkward or not, they are simply NOT Masonic or Rosicrucian signs.
Take a look at the number of posed paintings and photographs where women have their hands in similar poses. Hundreds of them.
Honestly, this discussion is pointless. If you want to read things into things that are not there then nobody can stop you, but it really exasperates me. I try to help, with solid information, whenever I can, and this is solid information. Forget secret hand signs in paintings and photographs. Blind alley except where masonic tokens (handshakes) are photographed by accident. It happens, and I promise you that I will tell you if I think that it is such a case.
Why not start another thread. Put your photographs there, and I promise you I will let you know the likelihood of it being a photograph of an exchange of Masonic tokens (handshakes), or Masonic signs (using the hand/s).
JAH-BUL-ON
I'm not suggesting they're necessarily Masonic hand signals. I have no idea what they could mean. Perhaps they are, and it's something you're not aware of.
Regardless, it is a contrived pose, and is worthy of note if only in the context you mentioned of artists incorporating clues to the essence of subjects for future generations to come along and decode.
I have no agenda against Freemasonry and I'm not trying to attack or offend you by asking these questions. I appreciate your wealth of knowledge on esoteric subjects like this one and value your input into the thread.

Yes, indeed we did. I promise you that I do have a certain amount of solid information available to me, and I will tell you if a painting or photograph has Masonic or indeed Rosicrucian content. You only have to ask, and of course there are other freemasons, and Rosicrucians on the forum who also know what they are talking about.
Just ask us, and we will tell you. Why shouldn't we?
Many Grand Lodge and other Masonic websites have long lists of "famous freemasons". Seemingly, we can't wait to tell you who is or who is not a freemason.

It occurs to me that the Masons are the inheritors of thousands of years of polarised thinking. If their belief system is the latest incarnation of the Mystery schools of the ancient world then they are labouring under a serious miss apprehension as to the nature of the universe surely?
The Kabala simply transforms an organic multi dimensional experience of spiritual development into a road map of do’s and don’t which is meant to avoid having to feel, lets be honest vulnerable.
The Sephiroth include imagery which is meant to unlock the unconscious latent "doorways" through which the consciousness must past to attain the next levels knowledge and being.
But all this is just pure theatre. The symbolism is the equivalent of the Psychic placebo becoming a vehicle for the ego to transcend its fear of loss of control and experience the ocean of which it is a part but thinks itself above.
The belief systems which employ such inflated anaesthesia to avoid feeling pain render their own so called system of development no more than a self fulfilling prophecy of repetition. Going around and around on the same wheel refusing to experience the very thing which will unite them and end their agony of empty searching for a power who demands surrender to yourself and not subjugation to anything, most of all not to the antithesis of visceral being.

Hi guys.
I've got a thread going on solar eclipses here: http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1201677&posted=1#post1201677 and the name 'Jabulon' came up in connection to an underground 'Copper City' in Africa, which is ruled by a reptilian of that name.
This is what Credo Mutwa has to say:
Jabulon, sir, is a very strange god. He is supposed to be the leader of the Chitauli. He is a god, to my great surprise, which I find certain groups of White people, especially, worshipping. We have known about Jabulon for many, many centuries, we Black people. But I am surprised that there are White people who worship this god, and these people, amongst them are people whom many have blamed for all the things that have happened on this Earth, namely, the Freemason people. We believe that Jabulon is the leader of the Chitauli. He is the Old One. And one of his names, in the African language, sir, is Umbaba-Samahongo-“the lord king, the great father of the terrible eyes”-because we believe that Jabulon has got one eye which, if he opens it, you die if he looks at you.
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97
According to Wikipedia, in a Masonic context:
Jahbulon (or Jabulon) is a word which was used historically in some rituals of Royal Arch Masonry. According to Francis X. King, it is also used in Ordo Templi Orientis rituals.
There has been much debate over the origin and meaning of this word. There is no consensus even among Masonic researchers as to its meaning or legitimacy: one Masonic scholar alleges that the word first appeared in an early 18th Century Royal Arch ritual as the name of an allegorical explorer searching for the ruins of King Solomon's Temple; another Masonic scholar believes it is a descriptive name for God in Hebrew; other, non-Masonic, authors have alleged that it is a Masonic name for God, and even the name of a unique "Masonic God", despite repeated statements by Freemasonry's officials that "There is no separate Masonic God", nor a separate proper name for a deity in any branch of Freemasonry.[1][2] It is this interpretation of a "Masonic God" that has led to debates about and condemnation of Freemasonry by several religious groups. In England, no ritual containing the name has been in official Masonic use since February 1989. [3]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahbulon
Can I ask what you guys make of 'Jahbulon' from the perspective of your understanding of Freemasonry, and secondly, what do you think about Credo Mutwa connecting the word to the name of the ruler of this alleged underground city in Africa?
Thanks.
If you consult Juri Lina ( The author of "architects of deception") you will see a depiction of this abominable creature on the cover of that book. He writes in detail about the freemasons and as far as I remember, Jahbulon is a "deity" they pledge their allegiance to. They only get to know who or what they actually are worshipping when they reach a certain high degree of "initiation"...

Not at all. The hexagram is a universal symbol, whereas "Jahbulon" is almost certainly a corruption of a word used in old French Masonic rituals. It is not an important aspect of Freemasonry.

Well rest easy. The Moderns form of freemasonry (the biggest now) was invented, from scratch from 1717 onwards, and for the reasons stated earlier. They may draw upon the Ancient Mystery schools, and elsewhere for their "playlets" but they are certainly not inheritors of anything other than the Rosicrucianism of the Enlightenment years.
The direct links lay elsewhere.

I can only answer the questions, and provide information so that all here (Mostly non-Masons and anti-Masons) may increase their knowledge and understanding of Free Masonry. If you see anything that you disagree with then please feel free to say so, but silencing those who do not agree with you is not an option.
The Society and Fraternity of Free Masons (La Grande Loge) was established in Paris (c.1719) by Charles Ratcliffe (the Earl of Derwentwater), a Free Mason and a Jacobite exile. He, together with Chevalier Maskelyne and M. d'Henquelty inaugurated the first French Masonic Lodge in Paris in the rue Boucheries-St Germain.
"... most impartial historians assert that from 1720 to 1725 Freemasonry was clandestinely introduced into France by some English Masons." (SOURCE: Report made to the Grand Orient of France, contained in the Journal, La Globe, tome I., p.324, 1838)
"... we are compelled to admit the naked fact, that there was an English lodge in Paris in 1725. There is no evidence that this lodge was at that date or very soon afterwards constituted by the Grand Lodge at London." (SOURCE: History of Freemasonry by Albert Gallatin Mackey, Chapter XXXVIII)

But it stimulates thought and conversation, and affords those who do know something useful to offer assistance and education to others, if they are so minded.
We must remember that the Moderns form of freemasonry was self started in 1717 by about three or four low level Free Masons who fell out with Sir Christopher Wren because he withdrew his considerable financial support, and non-Mason (profane) Rosicrucians.
These people did not have access to key Masonic rituals which at that time were not written down, for instance "The Master's Part". So they drew upon their esoteric knowledge and anti-Catholic prejudices, and made up what they did not know, or could not remember.
There is no connection as such between the Moderns system of freemasonry and the actual Ancient religions or mysteries.
Freemasonry at that time was fundamentally changed in order to place power in the hands of the Hanoverian Dynasty and to distract men of influence away from engaging in political intrigue.

Here's an excerpt from:
Christianity, Masonry not compatible. Definitions of God pose fundamental difference.
[03/13/93, The Press-Enterprise Riverside, CA]
Regarding the identity of God, in Scottish Rite Masonry, the 13th degree is that of the Royal Arch.
In it, the alleged true, previously hidden name of God is revealed as Jabulum.
"The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry," affirms this, under the entry for Jabulum; in the definition of Bel, it says, "Bel is the contracted form of Baal, worshipped by the Babylonians and was introduced, with Jah and Oh, into the Royal Arch system as a representative of the name of God. Jah represents the name Jehovah, Bel represents Baal, and Oh represents Osiris.
Jim Shaw, former 33 Degree Mason, says that Masonry is not based on the Bible referred to as "The Great Light", but on the Kabbalah
Cabala
a medieval book of mysticism and magic. Masonic authority Henry Wilson Coil admits that the Kabala's teachings can be seen in some of the mystical and philosophical degrees of Masonry.
Albert Pike, the man responsible for the re-estabilished Scottish Rite degrees into their actual form, said that the Masonic search-after-light leads directly back to the Kabala, the ultimate source of Masonic beliefs. See: Morals and Dogma .

I have had a quick search of African mythology and find no reference to Umbaba-Samahongo apart from being mentioned by Credo, which leads my to conclude that he is bull shitting. I think the real problem is that people want to believe Icke represents the truth and to be taken in by such a person as Credo is an attack on his credibility to recognise truth. This then causes a division in his fans minds which they overcome by accpeting his viewpoint.
By all means if people can produce links to pages on African mythology that actually back up what Credo says then please give me the links. I think people really need to investigate Credos claims and compare what he says with African mythology.

I don't personally get the feeling he's telling people what they want to hear: he's been speaking about this and presenting it to Westerners since he was a much, much younger man and long before David Icke came onto the scene.
That a search of 'African mythology' and 'Jahbulon' only brings up conspiracy/anti-masonic results could very likely be because they're all based on the information that came out of the interview with him I posted in the OP. How many other voices from Africa who hold this kind of esoteric knowledge have the opportunity to be heard and referenced by Google?

In the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FREEMASONRY, for your knowledge, it is stated that:
Gebal is a city in ancient Phonecia. Inhabitants were called Giblites or Giblimites and they were stone-squarers - 1st Kings 18.
The French spelling took Giblim and went to Jiblime, then to Jibulum to Jabulum (See RAM).
.
Let us follow this linguistic corruption
Ghiblim > Giblim > Gibalim > Chibbelum > Jiblime > Jibulum > Jabulum and then Jubellum
.
In "The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry," page 359, under the entry for Jabulum, we find a possible explanation .
Masons manufactured the titles Jabelum , Jabulum .
These are many distortions of the word Jubelom, one of the Three Ruffians ...
Allegories abound with these three who chose to agree, but, on the wrong side.
.
The three ruffians would be the three courts that put Jesus on trial:
- Sanhedrin Court (Jubela)
- Herod's Court (Jubelo) and
- Pilate's court (Jubelum).
.
The total could be rendered - Religious Court (Sanhedrin)
- Political Court (Herod's Court) and - Social Court, as in social disorder, Pilate's.
.
Their instruments could be rendered - Sanhedrin Court: Plumb
- Herod's Court: Square
- Pilate's Court: Level.
.
On Jesus' back we find a scarlet robe, color of shame (prostitution)
on Jesus' head a thorny crown (royalty)
and on Jesus' shoulders a cross (mitre).

I don't personally get the feeling he's telling people what they want to hear: he's been speaking about this and presenting it to Westerners since he was a much, much younger man and long before David Icke came onto the scene.
That a search of 'African mythology' and 'Jahbulon' only brings up conspiracy/anti-masonic results could very likely be because they're all based on the information that came out of the interview with him I posted in the OP. How many other voices from Africa who hold this kind of esoteric knowledge have the opportunity to be heard and referenced by Google?
That would be much appreciated.
Will have a look at this. Thanks.
I dont think being polite and dignified actually makes a difference. You will find many politicians who can come across like this, etc.
So do you have any older sources of information by Credo that dates back to his youth?

I doubt it. Aum is not written as you wish it to be, in convenient Roman lettering. Yah is also and Egyptian moon god.
Christian religion is taken from pagan myths and Jesus himself is nothing but an amalgamation of pagan gods.

Quote from a page you linked which backs up my post:
"Constantine, Early Ecumenist"
Before you read the following, please try to understand, Christianity has always been pagan, and Christians worship a non-existent savior with a Greek name called Jesus (IHSOUS). The Greek Jesus never existed, but the Jewish Messiah, Yahshua, did exist. The anti-Hebrew Greek gentiles invented a Sun god named Jesus based on the writings and true life of Messiah Yahshua. Messiah Yahshua was only a human, but was "Set Apart" by Yahweh as the prophesied Messiah. Therefore, Christianity is nothing more than a (anti-Messiah anti-Hebrew, anti-Semitic) pagan religion and another term for "Universalism" (catholicism)!

‘Jah-Bul-On,’ the so-called secret name of God, is probably Jabulum, incorrectly copied
which, as I have shown, meant ‘the product of, that which proceeded, issued or emanated from Om.’
It is compounded of Yu or Yah-u, Baal or Bal or Bel, and Om, thus combining the names of the Hebrew, Phoenician and Hindu Deities.”
I doubt it.

I think he has an indefinable quality of deep spiritual character and integrity that is in stark contrast to the transparent masquerades of public decency that politicians engage in.
So do you have any older sources of information by Credo that dates back to his youth?
This is a link to an online preview of a David Hatcher Childress book on the mysteries of Africa:
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=...20zaire&f=true
Credo appears in the photo section of one chapter as a young man, holding a chart of esoteric African symbols.
Because of the Google coding, I couldn't copy and save the photo, and I didn't take a screenshot of it at the time, but I'll try to dig it out at a later date and post it here. I don't expect you to go searching for it yourself, so you'll have to take my word for it right now that it's there.

JEHOVAH. Of the varieties of this sacred name in use among the different nations of the earth, three particularly merit the attention of Royal Arch Masons:
1. JAH. This name of God is found in the 68th Psalm, v. 4.
2. BAAL OR BEL. This word signifies a lord, master, or possessor, and hence it was applied by many of the nations of the East to denote the Lord of all things, and the Master of the world.
3. ON. This was the name by which JEHOVAH was worshipped among the Egyptians.
I have made these remarks on the three names of God in Chaldaic, Syriac and Egyptian, Baal, Jah, and On, in the expectation that my Royal Arch Companions will readily recognize them in a corrupted form.--Lexicon.

Yes you are a massive one,
If Jahbulon is really a symbol of a Man's head on a spider's body, with the head of a cat and a toad, and if this is the symbol of the great architect of the universe, then we should understand this secret.
All such Gods are only composed of symbols that represent sects, cults and legions of spirits that rule and control the invisible and physical world. Jahbulon's symbol is in fact a merger of companies. Jahbulon is composed of symbols used in the highest Mystery schools, systems in today's world we would call witchcraft.

I don't need to,you confuse things enough as it is with your side tracking tactics,
"the order worships another being, the Great Architect of the Universe, Jahbulon, whose nature bears a strong resemblance to that of Lucifer. The freemasons are compelled to believe in TGATU (the Great Architect of the Universe). According to the freemasons, Jahbulon is the Creative Being. The Thrice Grand Master Builder, the Nameless Spirit with a Hundred Names."
"Above the altar is seen the Star of David, sometimes the red fivepointed star with a G in the centre. The G stands for the God of the freemasons, Jahbulon. This is a compound of the names of three gods: Yahweh of Israel, Baal of Canaan (or Bel of Babylon) and the Egyptian On (another name for the god of death Osiris). The last two are also called upon at black magic and Satanist ceremonies. The G officially stands for Geometry. Only upon attaining a high degree is the freemason informed that the Great Architect of the Universe is called Jahbulon. In the degree called the Holy Royal Arch (13th), the appearance of the masonic god Jahbulon is revealed. He has a spider's body and three heads - that of a cat, a toad, and a human head. In this way the father god, the god of the heavens and the god of death were united.
-"G means also GENERATIVITY. Compass and square mean male and female. I translate the square also as V, the mark of Lucifer. (SoF note)
"As is well remembered the masonic deity Jahbulon has the body of a spider. Spiders tend to spin their nets." So internet is the web of spider Jahbulon. We use in our e-mail the sing '@' that it is a serpent spire. WWW means VV VV VV = 6 x V. (SoF note)

Here's an excerpt from:
Christianity, Masonry not compatible. Definitions of God pose fundamental difference.
[03/13/93, The Press-Enterprise Riverside, CA]
Regarding the identity of God, in Scottish Rite Masonry, the 13th degree is that of the Royal Arch.
In it, the alleged true, previously hidden name of God is revealed as Jabulum.
"The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry," affirms this, under the entry for Jabulum; in the definition of Bel, it says, "Bel is the contracted form of Baal, worshipped by the Babylonians and was introduced, with Jah and Oh, into the Royal Arch system as a representative of the name of God. Jah represents the name Jehovah, Bel represents Baal, and Oh represents Osiris.
Jim Shaw, former 33 Degree Mason, says that Masonry is not based on the Bible referred to as "The Great Light", but on the Kabbalah
Cabala
a medieval book of mysticism and magic. Masonic authority Henry Wilson Coil admits that the Kabala's teachings can be seen in some of the mystical and philosophical degrees of Masonry.
Albert Pike, the man responsible for the re-estabilished Scottish Rite degrees into their actual form, said that the Masonic search-after-light leads directly back to the Kabala, the ultimate source of Masonic beliefs. See: Morals and Dogma .
.
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth (2 Corinthians 13:8)
And this is ABSOLUTELY true. It is undeniable.

In the ritual of exaltation, the name of the Great Architect of the Universe [The Freemason's god] is revealed as JAH-BUL-ON - not a general umbrella term but a precise designation that describes a specific supernatural being - a compound deity composed of three separate personalities fused in one. Each syllable of the 'ineffable name' represents one personality of this Trinity:
JAH
Jahweh, The God of the Hebrews.
BUL
Baal, the ancient Canaanite fertility god associated with 'licentious rites of imitative magic'.
ON
Osiris, the Ancient Egyptian god of the underworld.
Baal, of course, was the 'false god' with whom Jahweh competed for the allegiance of the Isrealites in the Old Testament. But more recently, within a hundred years of the creation of the Freemason's god, the sixteenth century demonologist John Weir identified Baal as a devil. This grotesque manifestation of evil had the body of a spider and three heads - those of a man, a toad, and a cat. A description of Baal to be found in de Plancy's Dictionary of Witchcraft is particularly apposite when considered in the light of the secretive and deceptive nature of Freemasonry: his voice was raucous, and he taught his followers guile, cunning and the ability to become invisible.

The RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by British shipping company White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, United Kingdom. For her time, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world.
On the night of 14 April 1912, during the ship's maiden voyage, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank two hours and forty minutes later, early on 15 April 1912. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship did not carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard. The ship had a total lifeboat capacity of 1,178 people, although her capacity was 3,547.
Kind of reminds me of something else which is out of date and draconian.

Regarding the identity of God, in Scottish Rite Masonry, the 13th degree is that of the Royal Arch.
In it, the alleged true, previously hidden name of God is revealed as Jabulum.
"The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry," affirms this, under the entry for Jabulum; in the definition of Bel, it says, "Bel is the contracted form of Baal, worshipped by the Babylonians and was introduced, with Jah and Oh, into the Royal Arch system as a representative of the name of God. Jah represents the name Jehovah, Bel represents Baal, and Oh represents Osiris.
Jim Shaw, former 33 Degree Mason, says that Masonry is not based on the Bible referred to as "The Great Light", but on the Kabbalah
Cabala
a medieval book of mysticism and magic. Masonic authority Henry Wilson Coil admits that the Kabala's teachings can be seen in some of the mystical and philosophical degrees of Masonry.
Albert Pike, the man responsible for the re-estabilished Scottish Rite degrees into their actual form, said that the Masonic search-after-light leads directly back to the Kabala, the ultimate source of Masonic beliefs. See: Morals and Dogma .

The ancient Heliopolis, called ON (Greek: Ἡλίου πόλις or Ἡλιούπολις) meaning sun-city, was one of the most ancient cities of Egypt. It was the principal seat of sun-worship, thus its name, which means city of the sun in Greek.
Osiris is regarded as the dead king that watches over the nether world and is rejuvenated in his son Horus.
He developed from the primitive fertility god, Nepri, to become one of the most important of all the Egyptian deities. As such he was associated with the inundation of the Nile. From this his association with resurrection, regrowth and new life its importance has to be found in the fact that the fertile strip of land by the Nile turned occasionally into desert, which for Egyptians equaled to a mere place of death. Their world disappeared and they were never really sure that the flood would come back and in sufficient amount to develop crops again.
His authority as a king and a divine judge of the underworld probably came from his role as a source of fertility and his ability to regenerate life.

That is not correct. Jahbulon is a description of god rather than a name. Osiris has nothing to do with it. I just found a nice big lecture in one of my books on the subject and I would have to say there is nothing negative about it. It is more of an exultation to the most high god of love and unity.
Also, to prevent you being lied to, the image that people keep posting of jahbulon is false. The three headed spider is a spirit called Bael from the lesser key of solomon. If you look online you will find this to be true. I cant understand why some people seem to have a problem checking this out. Maybe it does not fit in with what they want to believe.

Saturn, the son of Cœlus and Terra, (heavens and earth) and the father of Jupiter. He answers to Chronus or Time. In Chaldea pronounced 'Satur', but spelt 'stur' .
Note how close the Chaldean pronunciation 'Satur' is to the 'Satyrs' of the Greece:
SA'TYR, satyrus , σατυρος, a sylvan deity, represented as half man and half goat, having horns on his head, a hairy body, with the feet and tail of a goat.
The Babylonian fire-god, who is the 'deliverer' is the Latin and Roman 'god of the mysteries' . I won't recall easy changing of phonemes anymore .
SAT-URN-A'LIAN, saturnalia, feasts of Saturn, The festivals celebrated in honor of Saturn, Dec. 16, 17 or 18, in which men indulged in riot without restraint. Hence, a connection with excitement, pungency. Immoderate venereal appetite.

I can't see any references to Jabulon at a glance. I wonder if any parallels can be drawn between some of the legends he recounts in this book and Freemason rituals. Unfortunately, lacking any real in-depth knowledge of Masonry myself, I'm not up to the task of trying to draw them.
Re: On = Osiris...
Briefly, what's your explanation for why they don't relate?
I've taken a look at a few things online today that suggest there is a connection.
This, according to one source, comes from Macoy's Dictionary of Freemasonry, which seems to be a fairly authoritative sourcebook (at least to some), and I wondered what your thoughts on it are:
JAH. The inspired writings inform us that the deity was known in idolatrous nations, under his own proper and significant appelation of Jehovah. St. Paul says, that they knew God, though they glorified him not as God, neither were they thankful; but worshipped the creature rather than the Creator. And God himself tells us that they possessed the Tetragrammaton, Tetractys, or sacred name, which amongst the Jews was Jah; for he says, "from the rising of the sun, even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be (or is, according to the translation of Cudworth,) great among the Gentiles. And they superstitiously believed that the Name was of such sovereign efficacy, as to enable the possessor to cure diseases, work miracles, and fortel future events."
BUL. The compounds of this divine name Bel, are of great variety. Bel-us was used by the Chaldeans; and the deity was known amongst the ancient Celtae by the name of Bel or Belenus, which title, by modern authors, is identified with Apollo. The primitive name of Britain was Vel-ynys, the island of Bel; and the fires lighted up on May-day were in honour of this deity, and called Bel's fire. The inhabitants made use of a word, known only to themselves, to express the unutterable name of the Deity, of which the letters O. I. W. were a sacred symbol. In this they resembled the Jews, who always said Adonai, when the name of Jehovah occurred. Baal was the most ancient god of the Canaanites, and was referred to the sun. Manasseh raised altars to this deity, and worshipped him in all the pomp of heathen superstition; and when these altars were destroyed by Josiah, the worship of Baal was identified with that of the sun.
ON. Under this appellation the Deity was worshipped by the Egyptians, and they professed to believe that he was eternal, and the foundation of light and life, but, according to their gross conceptions, being necessarily visible, the sun was adored as his representative, and was most probably the same as Osiris. If they believed On to be the living and eternal God, they allowed the same attributes to the sun, which they undoubtably worshipped as the Lord of the creation. Oannes was the God of the Chaldeans, and Dag-On of the Philistines; both of which are derivations of the same name. On was evidently the same deity as the Hebrew Jehovah, and was introduced amongst the Greeks by Plato, who acknowledges his eternity and incomprehensibility in these remarkable words: "Tell me of the God On; which is and never knew beginning." And the same name was used by the early Christians for the true God; for St. John in the Apocalypse, has this expression -- ο ων και ο ην και ο ερχομενος which is translated by our authorised version of the Scriptures, by "Him, which is, and which was, and which is to come."

Something else of interest:
JAH-BUL-ON
by Stephen Knight
(The Brotherhood by Stephen Knight p. 236-240)
In the ritual of exaltation, the name of the Great Architect of the Universe is revealed as JAH-BUL-ON -not a general umbrella term open to any interpretation an individual Freemason might choose, but a precise designation that describes a specific supernatural being - a compound deity composed of three separate personalities fused in one. Each syllable of the 'ineffable name' represents one personality of this Trinity:
JAH = Jahweh, the God of the Hebrews.
BUL = Baal, the ancient Canaanite fertility god associated with 'licentious rites of imitative magic'.
ON = Osiris, the Ancient Egyptian god of the underworld.
Baal, of course, was the 'false god' with whom Jahweh competed for the allegiance of the Israelites in the Old Testament. But more recently, within a hundred years of the creation of the Freemason's God, the sixteenth-century demonologist John Weir identified Baal as a devil. This grotesque manifestation of evil had the body of a spider and three heads - those of a man, a toad and a cat. A description of Baal to be found in de Plancy's Dictionary of Witchcraft is particularly apposite when considered in the light of the secretive and deceptive nature of Freemasonry: his voice was raucous, and he taught his followers guile, cunning and the ability to become invisible.
In 1873, the renowned masonic author and historian General Albert Pike, later to become Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Supreme Council (of the 33rd Degree) at Charleston, USA, wrote of his reaction on learning of Jah-Bul-On. He was disquieted and disgusted by the name, and went on: 'No man or body of men can make me accept as a sacred word, as a symbol of the infinite and eternal Godhead, a mongrel word, in part composed of the name of an accursed and beastly heathen god, whose name has been for more than two thousand years an appellation of the Devil.'
I have spoken to no less than fifty-seven long-standing Royal Arch Freemasons who have been happy to talk to me, to help me in my ambition to give Freemasonry 'a fair crack of the whip'. Most of them spoke quite freely, explaining without hesitation their views, reactions and answers to the criticisms and queries I raised. However, all but four lost their self-assurance and composure when I said, 'What about Jah-Bul-On?' Some, although they had previously told me they had been exalted to the Royal Arch, and therefore must have not only received the lecture on the name but also studied the passages and enacted the ritual relating to Jah-Bul-On, said they had never heard of it. In most cases the interviewees very rapidly brought the meeting to a close when I asked the question. Others laughed unconvincingly and extricated themselves from having to reply by jauntily saying such words as, 'Oh, that old chestnut', and passing quickly on to some other subject, normally going on the offensive with something like, 'Why are you so interested in Freemasonry in particular? Why don't you look into Christianity or something? Why do people always pick on Freemasonry?' -thereby diverting the conversation from the course I had plotted. If I insisted on returning to Jah-Bul-On, almost invariably the interview would be unceremoniously terminated. Others said that although they had heard of the word, they did not know what it meant. To them it meant God, and previously erudite Freemasons, with a precise knowledge of every other aspect of Masonry we had discussed, suddenly became vague and claimed ignorance of this most central of all Freemasonic subjects. While professing an almost total lack of knowledge of Jah-Bul-On, several dismissed it as of no real importance.
Charles Stratton, one Royal Arch Freemason for whom I have the utmost admiration, told me this of Jah-Bul-On: 'No one ever has time to think about its meaning, you're too busy trying to remember your words. As far as I know it's just another name for Jehovah.'
Acute silences, chiefly of embarrassment, followed my question on many occasions, as happened when I spoke to a most co-operative officer both of Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter.
We had been discussing whether or not Freemasonry was a religion, and I had run through my customary list of religious terms used in Freemasonry. Then I added, 'One comes across the phrase, "the sacred tenets of Freemasonry". This seems to imply that Masonry thinks of itself as a religion.'
The Grand Officer replied, 'No, I haven't said that. .. the sacred tenets?'
'Yes.'
'Well, the word sacred means holy.'
'Yes. Then there's the "Holy" Royal Arch.'
He paused. When he began to speak again it was much more slowly.
'Yes. The Holy Royal Arch. They are all expressions of ... religion in its fullest sense, not in a masonic sense. I cannot stress too strongly the fact that there is no masonic religion, no masonic god, deity or someone or something to which a Freemason must swear loyalty. No.'
'What about Jah-Bul-On?'
He was obviously taken off-guard. He said nothing for nearly ten seconds and looked most discomfited. At length, proceeding with the extreme caution of a man feeling his way through a thicket of thorns, he said: 'These are ... Hebrew words which are ... murdered from their original. And Jah is the Hebrew word for God, so it's God again. You come back to God, the real God. But these - ha! [he chuckled] - these are ways in which we express our loyalty to God.'
'It's interesting you should choose only to define the first syllable, which is of course the most acceptable to those with religious convictions. But what about the other parts of that word which are, are they not, Baal and Osiris?'
Another long pause. 'I don't know them. That's the higher echelons of Freemasonry.'
'That's in the Royal Arch, isn't it?'
'I don't do Royal Arch. I do Chapter, but not Royal Arch.'
This was the first lie he had told me, and I could see it was unpleasant for him.
I continued: 'It is established that Jahbulon is a composite name for God, made up of Jah—'
'What's Bul-On?'
'Bul is Baal and On is Osiris, the Ancient Egyptian god of the dead.'
'Well...'
'Pike was outraged when he heard that name for the first time and saw it associated with Freemasonry, which of course was so dear to him. He said that nothing would induce him to accept as the name of God a word which is in part the name of a pagan god and for more than two thousand years an appellation of the devil.'
'I agree on that, but I... I... I don't know about it. It's not that I don't want to. I don't know about it so I really can't comment. You'll have to ask someone who knows.'
'Does it worry you?'
'In one of the higher degrees they use Jesus Christ.'
'Yes, there are several masonic orders which are exclusively Christian - the Knights Templar, the Ancient and Accepted Rite, the Societas Rosicruciana, the Knights of Malta, the Order of Eri. But does the name Jah-Bul-On worry you?'
'Many Masons wouldn't subscribe to those Christian degrees.'
The implication was clear: if Christ was an acceptable part of Freemasonry even to a non-Christian, why not the devil as well? Unacceptable though he might be to most initiates, he has his place.

Saturn, the son of Cœlus and Terra, (heavens and earth) and the father of Jupiter. He answers to Chronus or Time. In Chaldea pronounced 'Satur', but spelt 'stur' .
Note how close the Chaldean pronunciation 'Satur' is to the 'Satyrs' of the Greece:
SA'TYR, satyrus , σατυρος, a sylvan deity, represented as half man and half goat, having horns on his head, a hairy body, with the feet and tail of a goat.
The Babylonian fire-god, who is the 'deliverer' is the Latin and Roman 'god of the mysteries' . I won't recall easy changing of phonemes anymore .
SAT-URN-A'LIAN, saturnalia, feasts of Saturn, The festivals celebrated in honor of Saturn, Dec. 16, 17 or 18, in which men indulged in riot without restraint. Hence, a connection with excitement, pungency. Immoderate venereal appetite.
SAT'UR-DAY, Saturn's day, the day next preceding the sabbath.
You forgot to mention that the saturnalia was a time when slaves were freed and allowed to say as they pleased. Funny how you focus on certain aspects while forgetting other positive ones. Are you by any chance a christian?

I can't get it to load at the moment but page 357 of the David Hatcher Childress book "Lost Cities and Ancient Mysteries of Africa and Arabia" shows the photo I mentioned earlier.
Credo Mutwa's 1964 book "Indaba, My Children" seems to be his main early work on African Mythology, extended excerpts of which can be found here:
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=prq6ykijSyQC&pg=PA357&lpg=PA357&dq=%22credo+mutwa%22+%22david+hatcher+childress%27&source=bl&ots=dReVmkXW-_&sig=gsSRT7QCD73rGDsYiMsZVCtM2d8&hl=en&ei=8ciPSrOpBZT6kAWojt27Cg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#v=onepage&q=&f=true
I can't see any references to Jabulon at a glance. I wonder if any parallels can be drawn between some of the legends he recounts in this book and Freemason rituals. Unfortunately, lacking any real in-depth knowledge of Masonry myself, I'm not up to the task of trying to draw them.
Re: On = Osiris...
Briefly, what's your explanation for why they don't relate?
I've taken a look at a few things online today that suggest there is a connection.
This, according to one source, comes from Macoy's Dictionary of Freemasonry, which seems to be a fairly authoritative sourcebook (at least to some), and I wondered what your thoughts on it are:
JAH. The inspired writings inform us that the deity was known in idolatrous nations, under his own proper and significant appelation of Jehovah. St. Paul says, that they knew God, though they glorified him not as God, neither were they thankful; but worshipped the creature rather than the Creator. And God himself tells us that they possessed the Tetragrammaton, Tetractys, or sacred name, which amongst the Jews was Jah; for he says, "from the rising of the sun, even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be (or is, according to the translation of Cudworth,) great among the Gentiles. And they superstitiously believed that the Name was of such sovereign efficacy, as to enable the possessor to cure diseases, work miracles, and fortel future events."
BUL. The compounds of this divine name Bel, are of great variety. Bel-us was used by the Chaldeans; and the deity was known amongst the ancient Celtae by the name of Bel or Belenus, which title, by modern authors, is identified with Apollo. The primitive name of Britain was Vel-ynys, the island of Bel; and the fires lighted up on May-day were in honour of this deity, and called Bel's fire. The inhabitants made use of a word, known only to themselves, to express the unutterable name of the Deity, of which the letters O. I. W. were a sacred symbol. In this they resembled the Jews, who always said Adonai, when the name of Jehovah occurred. Baal was the most ancient god of the Canaanites, and was referred to the sun. Manasseh raised altars to this deity, and worshipped him in all the pomp of heathen superstition; and when these altars were destroyed by Josiah, the worship of Baal was identified with that of the sun.
ON. Under this appellation the Deity was worshipped by the Egyptians, and they professed to believe that he was eternal, and the foundation of light and life, but, according to their gross conceptions, being necessarily visible, the sun was adored as his representative, and was most probably the same as Osiris. If they believed On to be the living and eternal God, they allowed the same attributes to the sun, which they undoubtably worshipped as the Lord of the creation. Oannes was the God of the Chaldeans, and Dag-On of the Philistines; both of which are derivations of the same name. On was evidently the same deity as the Hebrew Jehovah, and was introduced amongst the Greeks by Plato, who acknowledges his eternity and incomprehensibility in these remarkable words: "Tell me of the God On; which is and never knew beginning." And the same name was used by the early Christians for the true God; for St. John in the Apocalypse, has this expression -- ο ων και ο ην και ο ερχομενος which is translated by our authorised version of the Scriptures, by "Him, which is, and which was, and which is to come."
So what you have is no references to jahbulon in Credo work until Icke comes along with his anti-mason stance. Osiris was a moon god, which is why he rules the underworld, so On cant be Osiris.
Also, I have mentioned many times in this thread that there is an ancient Egyptian moon god called yah but nobody seems to actually notice this.

The only place I've personally heard Credo mention 'Jabulon' is in the interview posted in the OP, which was with Rick Martin from Spectrum magazine in 1999.
True, this was after he'd been in contact with Icke, but it's jumping the gun to suggest that because of this he's making the story up to appeal to a Western audience. Much more background info is needed, and I don't have it.

A poem by Credo that mentions Jabulon. I don't think he's a fan:
credo mutwa poem
"When kings are slain, and a pope is sent to hell, when on a marble slab..a murdered princess lies, a pale sacrifice to the beasts that rule the stars, When out of the sky a stricken warplane falls, trailing behind it long bridal veils of flame, as missiles rage and red hot cannon roar... When the battle tank briefly rules the blood drenched plains, an iron tyrant on another's stolen throne... and it's long cannon shatters the trembling skies with sound, When nameless soldiers die friendless and unknown, in Africa's valleys or Kosovo's snow-bound plains, and whole tribes perish of hunger, disease and war... When money is built into a jail to hold humankind and love has died and compassion is unknown... and lies become truth... and truth becomes a lie in a nameless city When, in streets who have no love, numberless children know hunger and abuse... In countless homes where brute force rules supreme, women have become blood-spattered slaves, strangers to love, healing and respect, strangers to the gentle and comforting word... Whose guilty shoulders must bear the heavy beam of crucifixion, all the ill we see? Whose quivering back must bear the barbed scourge? For all the evil and all the pain we have known Weavers of lies, brewers of lies, who can strike at people with weapons of the night against which no armour and no shield can prevail. The written word is their poison-coated sword, the tinkeling coin their cull and crop of maize... Murderers of nations, Africa's deadliest foes, I curse your footsteps wherever you may go, In whichever cave or dungheap you may hide, I curse you all...may Heaven blast your eyes. Tell Jabulon, the demon you call God, Nomabhunu's son defies him to his face, I swear by the stones on my mother's sacred grave, that as from this moment, I will fight you to the end. Against your kind, against your Masters too, I will not cease to raise the Sword of Light. For all you have done and all you have yet to do, I will fight you to the ending of my days....." - Credo Mutwa

Yes but you cant say something represents love and unity if its nature is the opposite of that can you otherwise people would notice this. If you are told that a word means love and unity, the most high god, etc. then that is what that word will mean and the emotions evoked will be of that kind.
It likes when people say the OTO is a mind control cult. How can it be when its purpose is to help people to discover their own true will. It certainly does not dictate moral behaviour but expects people to find out what is truly moral to themselves. If the inner aspect of something opposes its outer aspects then you have a division, and a house divided against itself cannot stand.

Maybe he should start looking at his own tribal trdaitions. The zulu use a lot of blood sacrifice, which Icke claims was instituted to feed the reptilians, so really Credo and his tribe are part of the mechanism that keeps the reptilians well stocked with blood. I have looked into zulu blood sacrifice and it is quite common. I notice in one of Ickes books he claims to have seen really evil freemason ritual but I was wondering exactly where he saw such things.
Perhaps he forgets the excessivle violent African genocides that seem to occur often. I think he is just trying to cash in on his fame, knowing full well that Ickes fans will buy his material if he sticks to a similar theme.

Credo Mutwa: Throughout South Africa, amongst many tribes, you’ll find stories of these amazing creatures who are capable of changing from reptile to human being, and from reptile to any other animal of their choice. And these creatures, sir, do really exist. No matter where you go throughout Southern, Eastern, Western, and Central Africa, you’ll find that the description of these creatures is the same. Even amongst tribes which never, throughout their long history, had contact with each other at all.
So, there ARE such creatures. Where they come from, I will never claim to know, sir. But they are associated with certain stars in the sky, and one of these stars is a large group of stars which is part of the Milky Way, which our people call Ingiyab, which means “The Great Serpent”. And there is a red star, a redish star, near the tip of this huge rim of stars which our people call IsoneNkanyamba.
Now, this star called IsoneNkanyamba, I managed to find its English name. It is the star called Alpha Centauri, in English. Now, this, sir, is something that is worth investigating. Why is it that well over 500 tribes in parts of Africa which I’ve visited in the last 40 or 50 years or so, all of them describe similar creatures?
It is said that these creatures feed on us human beings; that they, at one time, challenged God Himself to war, because they wanted full control of the universe. And God fought a terrible battle against them and He defeated them, injured them, and forced them to hide in cities underground.
They hide in deep cavities underground, because they are always feeling cold. In these cavities, we are told, there are huge fires which are kept going by slaves, human, zombie-like slaves. And, it is further said that these Zuswazi, these Imbulu, or whatever you choose to call them, are not capable of eating solid food. They either eat human blood, or they eat that power, the energy that is generated when human beings, on the surface of the Earth, are fighting and killing each other in large numbers.
I met people who have fled from the early Masaki in Rwanda, from years ago, and these people were horrified by what was happening in their country. They said that the slaughter of the Hutus by the Watusi, and the Watusi by the Hutus, is actually feeding the Imanujela, monsters. Because the Imanujela like to inhale the energy that is generated by masses of people being terrified or being killed by other people.

Credo Mutwa: Now, let me point out an interesting thing, sir. If you study the languages of all African nations, you find within the languages of our people words which are similar to Oriental, Middle-Eastern, and even Native American words. And the word Imanujela means “the Lord who came”. A word that anyone can discover in Rwanda, amongst the Rwandan Hutu and Watusi people, is very similar to the Herbrew word Immanuel, which means “the Lord is with us”. Imanujela, “the ones who came, the Lords who are here”.
Our people believe, sir, that we, the people of this Earth, are not masters of our own lives, really, although we are made to think that we are. Our people say, that is, Black people of all tribes, all of the initiated ones, all of the shamans everywhere in Africa, when they get to trust you and share their deepest secrets with you, they say that [with] the Imanujela, there is Imbulu. And there is another name by which these creatures are known. This name is Chitauli. Now, the word Chitauli means “the dictators, the ones who tell us the law”. In other words, “they who tell us, secretly, what we are to do”. Now, it is said that these Chitauli did a number of things to us when they came to this planet.
Please forgive me, but I must share this story with you. It is one of the strangest stories that you find everywhere in Africa in shamanic secret societies and other places where the remnant of our ancient knowledge and wisdom are still preserved. It is that, originally, the Earth was covered by a very thick blanket of fog or mist. That people could not actually see the Sun in the sky, except as a nimble of light. And they also saw the Moon at night as a gentle claw of light in the sky, because there was this heavy mist. And the rain was always falling in a steady drizzle. There was no thunder, however. There were no storms.
The world was thickly covered with great forests, great jungles, and people lived in peace on Earth at that time. People were happy and it is said, at that time, we human beings did not have the power of speech. We only made funny sounds like happy monkeys and baboons, but we did not have speech as we now have it. And in those centuries, people spoke to each other through their mind.
A man could call his wife thinking about her, thinking about the shape of her face, the smell of her body, and the feel of hair as a woman. That a hunter would go out into the bush and call out for animals to come, and the animals would select one of their number which was old and tired, and this animal would offer itself to the hunter so that he may kill it quickly and take it as meat to his cave.
There was no violence against animals. There was no violence against Nature by human beings at that time. Man used to ask for food from Nature. He used to come to a tree and think about fruit, and the tree would allow some of its fruit to fall to the ground, and man would take it.
And then it is said, however, that when the Chitauli came to Earth, they arrived in terrible vessels which flew through the air, vessels which were shaped like great bowls and which made a terrible noise and a terrible fire in the sky. And the Chitauli told human beings, whom they gathered together by force with whips of lightning, that they were great gods from the sky and that from now on they would receive a number of great gifts from the god. These so-called gods, who were like human beings, but very tall, with a long tail, and with terrible burning eyes, some of them had two eyes-yellow, bright eyes-some had three eyes, the red, round eye being in the center of their forehead. These creatures then took away the great powers that human beings had: the power of speaking through the mind only, the power of moving objects with their mind only, the power of seeing into the future and into their past, and the power to travel, spiritually, to different worlds.
All of these great powers the Chitauli took away from human beings and they gave human beings a new power, now, the power of speech. But, human beings found, to their horror, that the power of speech divided human beings, instead of uniting them, because the Chitauli cunningly created different languages, and they caused a great quarrel between people. Also, the Chitauli did something which has never been done before: they gave human beings people to rule over them, and they said, “These are your kings, these are your chiefs. They have our blood in them. They are our children, and you must listen to these people because they will speak on our behalf. If you don’t, we are going punish you very terribly.”
Before the coming of the Chitauli, before the coming of the Imbulu creatures, human beings were spiritually one. But when the Chitauli came, human beings became divided, both spiritually as well as by language.
And then, human beings were given strange new feelings by the Chitauli. Human beings started to feel unsafe, and so they started making villages with very strong fences of wood around them. Human beings started becoming country makers. In other words, they started creating tribes and tribe lands, which had borders, which they defended against any possible enemy. Human beings became ambitious and greedy and they wanted to acquire wealth in the form of cattle, and sea shells.
And, another thing the Chitauli forced human beings to do, they forced human beings to mine into the Earth. The Chitauli activated human women and made them to discover minerals and metals of certain types. Women discovered copper; women discovered gold; women discovered silver. And, eventually, they were guided by the Chitauli to alloy these metals and to create new metals which had never existed in Nature before, metals such as bronze and brass and others.
Now, the Chitauli, further, removed the sacred rain-bringing mist from the sky and for the first time since creation, human beings looked up and saw stars, and the Chitauli told human beings that they have been wrong in believing that God dwelt under the Earth. “From now on,” the Chitauli told people of this Earth, “the people of Earth must believe that God is in Heaven and they must do things here on Earth which would please this God who is in Heaven.”
You see, originally, human beings had believed that God was underground, that she was a very great mother who dwelt under the Earth because they saw all the green things growing from under the Earth-the grass came from below ground, the trees grew from below ground, and the people had believed, therefore, that the dead people who died go underground. But when the Chitauli turned humans’ eyes towards the sky, people started believing, now, that God is in the sky and that those who die from this Earth don’t go underground, but go up into the sky.
And to this day, sir, throughout Africa wherever you go as an investigator, you will find this amazing-these two amazing ideas which conflict with each other.
Many African tribes believe in what is called Midzimu or Badimo. Now, the word Midzimu or Badimo means “them who are in the sky”. But, in Zulu-land, amongst my people, you find this amazing schism going hand-in-hand. There are Zulus who believe that the dead ones are the Abapansi, which means “the ones who are below, who are under the Earth”. Then there is another idea which says Abapezulu. The word Abapezulu means “those who are above”, and the word Abapansi, which is the oldest name for the spirits of the dead, means “they who are under the Earth”.
So, even today, sir, all over Africa amongst hundreds of tribes, you find this strange double-belief that the dead go into the sky, and side-by-side with the belief that the dead die and go under the Earth. This belief that the dead die and go under the Earth is said to date to the days when our people believed that God was a woman, the great Cosmic Mother. And, it is contrasted by the Abapezulu belief that God is a man who dwells in the sky.
Now, sir, another thing that the Chitauli told our people, it is said, is that we human beings are here on Earth to change the Earth and to make it suitable for “God” to come down one day and dwell in it. And it is said that they who work to change this Earth and make it safe for the serpent god, the Chitauli, to come and dwell in it, will be rewarded with great power and with great wealth.
Sir, as I have watched over many years of study, over many years of initiation of the mysteries of African shamanism, wisdom, and knowledge, I have found myself wondering why we human beings are actually destroying the Earth on which we live. We are doing something which is only done by one other species of animal, namely, the African elephant, which utterly destroys every tree in the place in which it dwells.
We human beings are doing exactly this. And wherever you go in Africa, where once there were great ancient civilizations, you find desert. For example, there is the Kalahari desert in South Africa, and under the sands of that desert, I have found the ruins of ancient cities, which means that human beings turned this stretch of land, which was once green and fertile, into a desert. And, in days when I was with explorers and safari people in the Sahara regions of Africa, I also found evidence of unbelievably ancient human habitation in places where there is nothing now but angry rock and whispering sand.
In other words, the Sahara Desert was once a fertile country and was turned into a desert by human beings. Why? I must ask myself, again and again, why are human beings being driven by insecurity, greed, and lust of power to turn the Earth into a desert in which, ultimately, no human being would ever be able to live? Why?
Although we are all aware of the terrible dangers that this will bring about, why are we cutting huge areas of jungle in Africa? Why are we on Earth carrying out the instructions which the Chitauli programmed into us? Although my mind refuses to accept this, the answer is a terrible yes, yes, yes.
Amongst the many people of wisdom who honor me with their friendship, is a man of great knowledge who lives in Israel, Dr. Sitchin. [Editor’s note: This reference is to Dr. Zecharia Sitchin, author of many provocative books about the interaction of extraterrestrial peoples with Earth humans in very ancient times.] According to the ancient books which were written by the people of Sumeria, out of clay, gods came out of the sky and forced human beings to work for them, to mine gold for them. This story is confirmed by African legends throughout Africa, that gods came out of the sky and made us into their slaves, and they made us into slaves in such a way that we would never realize that we are slaves.
One other thing that our people say is that the Chitauli prey upon us like vultures. They raise some of us, they fill some of us with great anger and great ambition, and they make these people they’ve raised into great warriors who make terrible war. But, in the end, the Chitauli do not allow these great leaders, these great war chiefs and kings, to die peacefully. The warrior chief is used to make as much war as possible, to kill as many of his people, and those he calls enemies, as possible, and then, in the end, the warrior chief dies a terrible death, with his blood being spilled by others.
And this phenomenon I have seen in my people’s history, again and again and again. Our great King Shaka Zulu, he fought over 200 great wars during the reign of some 30-something years. And then, he was slaughtered and he died a violent death. He died a broken man who, because of the death of his mother, had no longer the power to win any more battles.
And, before Shaka Zulu, there was another king who trained Shaka to become the great king that he was. That king’s name was Dingiswayo. Dingiswayo had fought great wars trying to unite the Zulu people into one great tribe. He had seen the White people of the Cape and he thought that, by uniting his people into one huge nation, he would be able to repel the threat to his people which the White people posed. But, what happened was, after winning many battles of uniting many tribes, King Dingiswayo suddenly became striken by an eye disease which made him almost blind. And he hid this secret that he could no longer see. But, that terrible secret was discovered by a woman, a queen of another tribe, called Ntombazi. Ntombazi took a battle ax and beheaded Dingiswayo with one blow, after she had lured him into her hut and given him food and beer to drink.
There is also a similar phenomenon with great White leaders: Napoleon, in Europe, who died a miserable death on his lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean; Hitler, also in Europe, who died a terrible death by putting the gun in the mouth and killing himself, we are told; Attila the Hun, who was killed by a woman, and many other great leaders who came to a sticky end after giving as much death and misery to as many people as they could.
King Shaka was stabbed to death by his half-brother, who used on him the same type of spear that he had designed to kill people as quickly as possible. And, Julius Caesar also met a similar fate after he, like our Shaka Zulu, had conquered many nations.
Always the warrior hero dies a death that he, really, should not die. King Arthur, in England, was killed by his own son, Mordred after a long and courageous reign. I could go on and on and on.
Now, all these things, if you bring them together, they show that whether people laugh at this or not, whether people scoff at this or not, there is a certain power that is guiding we human beings toward the dark river of self-destruction. And the sooner many of us become aware of this, the better, perhaps, we might be able to deal with it.

Yes but you cant say something represents love and unity if its nature is the opposite of that can you otherwise people would notice this. If you are told that a word means love and unity, the most high god, etc. then that is what that word will mean and the emotions evoked will be of that kind.
It likes when people say the OTO is a mind control cult. How can it be when its purpose is to help people to discover their own true will. It certainly does not dictate moral behaviour but expects people to find out what is truly moral to themselves. If the inner aspect of something opposes its outer aspects then you have a division, and a house divided against itself cannot stand.
I'm not particularly casting any aspersions on OTO since I don't know enough about it, but as a general point, just because a text uses words like 'love', 'unity' and 'most high god' doesn't mean it's off the hook and must be 'good'.
Love for what? Unity with what? Most high god, according to whom?
On the surface of the page it could all read as wonderful, well-intentioned and holy, but there are secret levels of understanding to many texts, so frankly, I think it's a dead end using the content of this book to argue the nature of the J-man.

Credo Mutwa: Sir, I believe that these creatures are everywhere on Earth, and with respect, sir, although I hate talking about myself so much, I am a person who has traveled to many parts of the world. I have been to your country, the United States, sir. I have been to Australia. I have been to Japan, amongst other countries.
And no matter where I have gone, sir, I have found people telling me about creatures like this. For example, in 1997, I visited Australia, sir, and I traveled a lot to try and find the Black people of Australia, the Aborigine. And when I did find them, they told me a number of things that astonished me very, very much. The same things that I’d found in Japan, I found in Taiwan. Everywhere where there are still shaman and traditional healers, you find these amazing stories.
Now, let me tell you, sir, what I found in Australia alone. This, that the Australian Aborigine people, who call themselves Coorie, which means “our people”: The Coorie people of Australia believe in a great creating god called Byamie, sir. A Coorie shaman, in fact, several of them, drew me pictures of this Byamie, and one of them showed me a rock painting representing this strange creator god who came out of the stars. And when they placed their drawing in front of me, what they showed was a Chitauli. I recognized it from my African initiation. It had a large head. It had large eyes, which were stressed by the artist. It had no mouth, and it had long arms and incredibly long legs. Sir, this was a typical depiction of a Chitauli which I knew from my own people in Africa.
I asked myself “Why?” Here I am in a country many thousands of miles away from Africa, and here I am seeing a being known as the Biamai or Bimi, who is a creature with which I, the African, am familiar.
Amongst the Native American people, sir, I found, for example, amongst certain tribes in America, tribes such as the Hopi people, and those people who stay in those buildings called a pueblo, I found that these people-they have got what are called Katchina creatures, where people wear masks and disguise themselves as certain creatures. And some of these Katchinas are very, very tall, with a huge round head.
Exactly as we have in Africa, I found similar creatures in America. In Africa we call these creatures Egwugwu, or, we call them by another name, called Chinyawu. The Katchina of the Native American people, and the Chinyawu of our people, are identical beings. Now, why should this be? When were American Native people and Africans in contact? When? This is one of the greatest mysteries of all time, sir. It is one of many things that I found throughout the world which left me utterly amazed.
There ARE such creatures, and the sooner skeptics amongst us face up to this fact, the better it shall be. Why is human-kind not progressing? Why are we running around in a great circle of self-destruction and mutual-destruction?
People are basically good; I believe this. People don’t want to start wars. People don’t want to destroy the world in which they stay, but there are creatures, or there is power that is driving we human beings toward self-annihilation. And the sooner we recognize this, the better.
Just now, I live in Africa. Here are my people. Here is my home. But I see Africa being destroyed in wars that make no sense whatsoever to me as an African. I look at India which, like Africa, suffered the scourge of colonialism by the French, the English, and other European powers. But India, through her independence as a country, has achieved the things which we, Africa, have failed to achieve. Why?
India has exploded the atomic bomb and is today one of the feared nations of this world. India has launched satellites into orbit. India, although she has the same problems as Africa has-a burgeoning population, religion as well as tribal strife-although India has got an incredibly poor section of her population, as well as an incredibly rich one, she has achieved things that Africa has failed to achieve.
Now, I ask myself “Why? Why?” Because India was established by people from Africa, and I don’t think, sir, as the Black races about this. This is a fact that, thousands of years ago, people from Africa laid the foundation of the greatest civilization of India, as well as other countries in Southeast Asia. There is overwhelming archeological evidence of this. But, why is Africa drowning in war, in disease, and in hunger? Why?
Many times, sir, I sit in my hut and I cry when I see diseases like AIDS destroying us; when I see senseless wars destroying those countries in Africa which had thrived for thousands of years.
Say, Ethiopia is a country that has been free for thousands of years. Ethiopia was once the school of all of Africa. Nigeria was once a great country with a long tradition of self-government-long, long before the White man came to Africa. But today, all of these countries and many others are being destroyed.
Today, sir, there are parts of Africa which have been totally depopulated by war and by the disease called AIDS, a disease which shows every sign of being a man-made disease. I ask myself, “Who or what is destroying Africa, and why?”

Does love need an object? that is the thinking of a limited mind.
The definition of what the most high god means will depend entirely on who you talk to or the context in which it is written. It is generally meant to indicate the timeless spirit that gives life to everything, Kether, etc. Is it wrong to aspire to such a god?
In thelema the idea is unite to Nuit, the eternal goddess, the result being continuity of consciousness and bliss.

Maybe he should start looking at his own tribal trdaitions. The zulu use a lot of blood sacrifice, which Icke claims was instituted to feed the reptilians, so really Credo and his tribe are part of the mechanism that keeps the reptilians well stocked with blood. I have looked into zulu blood sacrifice and it is quite common. I notice in one of Ickes books he claims to have seen really evil freemason ritual but I was wondering exactly where he saw such things.
Perhaps he forgets the excessivle violent African genocides that seem to occur often.
I don't think Credo would argue with you. He's said a lot about African people turning against one another and engaging in all these acts, and claimed it started back in the mists of time when the visitors from the stars first arrived on earth and divided the African people with language then installed their kings to rule over them etc.
I think he is just trying to cash in on his fame, knowing full well that Ickes fans will buy his material if he sticks to a similar theme.
Maybe. I doubt it personally, but that doesn't count for very much.

SATURN AS ARCHETYPE OF SATAN ??
In Greece the first race of Gods were the Titans: Gaia and Uranus, and one of their children was Kronos - Saturn, that had then some stunning similarities with the posterior satan . Both were rebellious, and both were sent in exile .
When Kronos was about to slay his own father Uranus, it was prophesied that his son would in turn someday depose him. To keep this from being fulfilled, Kronos swallowed his children as they were born. At the end of the Age of Heroes, Zeus released the Titans, making Kronos the king of the Elysian Isles to rule over the shades of the Heroes.
The Romans compared Kronos with their corn-god, Saturn. Kronos was depicted carrying a sickle, used both to gather the harvest and to castrate his father.
Satan, the Devil, represent the Left Hand Path, the Capricorn Path, the Goat.
Evil is just an excess of materialism which ignores human values.
- The Master Therion Magick Without Tears, Quotes:
Atu XV connects Hod with Tiphareth on the Tree-of-Life and has attributed to it, Capricorn and the Hebrew letter Ayin which translates as 'Eye'. The central symbol is Pan and his manifestations as Baphomet, the Goat, Shaitan, Saturn, Satan, and Shabbathai. The horns of the Goat being spiral, they represent the movement of the all-pervading energy that is the manifested universe in its true nature. This is expounded on and corroborated from the scientific viewpoint in post-Einstein, modern physics.
- My weirdest Quotes insofar .
The Devil ~ The XV Tarot is identified as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, Author of lies and promoter of evil . In Astrology is associated with Capricornus - latin word for “horned male goat” or “goat horn”, the mountain goat or even the mer(sea)-goat.
Lets see the planet which rules Capricornus: Saturn/Satan/Saturnus/Satanus
The lessons of Saturn teach man to harmonize his imagination with the immediate circumstances of his life. When Satan’s vibrations combine with the egocentric personality, people will trade their souls for temporal power.

That's what I was saying -- surface texts are open to different interpretations.
OTO rituals could be 100% pure and positive for all I know, but in the context of a discussion about the real nature of Jahbulon, the literal statements made in this book don't really shed new light on the subject.

Most of them spoke quite freely, explaining without hesitation their views, reactions and answers to the criticisms and queries I raised. However, all but four lost their self-assurance and composure when I said, 'What about Jah-Bul-On?' Some, although they had previously told me they had been exalted to the Royal Arch, and therefore must have not only received the lecture on the name but also studied the passages and enacted the ritual relating to Jah-Bul-On, said they had never heard of it. In most cases the interviewees very rapidly brought the meeting to a close when I asked the question. Others laughed unconvincingly and extricated themselves from having to reply by jauntily saying such words as, 'Oh, that old chestnut', and passing quickly on to some other subject, normally going on the offensive with something like, 'Why are you so interested in Freemasonry in particular? Why don't you look into Christianity or something? Why do people always pick on Freemasonry?' -thereby diverting the conversation from the course I had plotted. If I insisted on returning to Jah-Bul-On, almost invariably the interview would be unceremoniously terminated. Others said that although they had heard of the word, they did not know what it meant. To them it meant God, and previously erudite Freemasons, with a precise knowledge of every other aspect of Masonry we had discussed, suddenly became vague and claimed ignorance of this most central of all Freemasonic subjects. While professing an almost total lack of knowledge of Jah-Bul-On, several dismissed it as of no real importance.
interesting read
I take it you did not get to read the OTO description of jahbulon? There is more to it than a word for when it is placed onto a hexagram in a certain way it reveals many other positive ideas.
I'm sorry if this has been explained before, what does OTO stand for? Also I am interested to know more about the hexagram thing if you have more info on that.
A poem by Credo that mentions Jabulon. I don't think he's a fan:
credo mutwa poem
...Tell Jabulon, the demon you call God, Nomabhunu's son defies him to his face, I swear by the stones on my mother's sacred grave, that as from this moment, I will fight you to the end. Against your kind, against your Masters too, I will not cease to raise the Sword of Light. For all you have done and all you have yet to do, I will fight you to the ending of my days....." - Credo Mutwa
is this indicating that even jabulon has masters?
Perhaps he forgets the excessivle violent African genocides that seem to occur often. I think he is just trying to cash in on his fame, knowing full well that Ickes fans will buy his material if he sticks to a similar theme.
except i think he lives in a shack in the middle of nowhere with no phone
I don't think Credo would argue with you. He's said a lot about African people turning against one another and engaging in all these acts, and claimed it started back in the mists of time when the visitors from the stars first arrived on earth and divided the African people with language then installed their kings to rule over them etc.
from my understanding, the same concept exists here in native american history:the people of this continent were peaceful and had no concept of war or violence until the star people (or in some cases white man) got involved

I don't take this voice that a thing with three heads is somewhere hidden in central africa . But this lore of a king that hides into the depths of the earth goes way back than the Masons . A great author as René Guénon states that this is an ancestral Tradition . Even the Pueblos in Arizona have a similar lore .
