The REAL Passover event this year is April 27th, 14th day of Nissan. As written in the Torah

The REAL Passover event this year is April 27th, 14th day of Nissan. As written in the Torah. It starts on Tuesday evening until next day at sunset, when three stars appear. (The evening of Passover is Day 1 of Unleavened Bread),Then, on the Wednesday night (April 28th) the new day that Passover ends, the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD continues, lasting until Tuesday evening, May 4th.

• It is not called Easter, which is a satanic event from the days of Nimrod and that ilk.
• It is not Sunday, April 4th, as decreed by all the churches etc, that still follow these dark rituals, deceiving the faithful with lies.
• It is not about colored eggs, which is a satanic fertility rite from the era of Moloch and Semiramis.
• Nowhere does a bunny rabbit have anything to do with the Passion of our Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus).

The above are all varying, blended occult practices involving human sacrifice, and dark rituals, made as silly as Santa Claus, to hide these rites and rituals TRUE meanings and purpose.

The Occult Meaning of Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO” and the Symbolism of His “Satan Shoes”

These creatures are NOT human. They are of Satan.

 

Lil Nas X (LNX) rose to worldwide fame with the independently released Old Town Road. In a matter of weeks, the song went from being a viral sensation to the international hit that defined the year 2019.

The success of Old Town Road was due to several facts: It was fun, it was catchy and it bridged the gap between rap and country music. The result: Children were dancing to the song while chanting every word of its lyrics at birthday parties and summer camps.

Then Lil Nas X got signed to Columbia Records. Shortly after, LNX’s popularity was “weaponized” to become a vehicle for the elite’s agenda. Soon after Lil Nas X started displaying all of the signs and symbols associated with the occult elite.

Shortly after signing with Columbia, LNX did the one-eye sign on the cover of Teen Vogue. That sign proved that LNX was not “paving his own road”. The road is being paved for him.

While LNX’s first album was somewhat rushed to cash into the Old Town Road craze, the record company took its time for the second album. The rapper’s elite handlers wanted to make sure that his young fans were fully exposed to all of the facets of its toxic agenda: Hypersexualization, gender confusion, and, of course, all-out Satanism. The result: The first single, MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name) shamelessly proselytizes for Satanism while bombarding young viewers with explicit imagery.

If you read other articles on this site, you know that this agenda is nothing new. However, it used to be much more subtle. But not MONTERO: LNX is literally grinding on Satan for about 30% of the video.

And, when one looks deeper into the symbolism of the video, we understand the full depth of the elite’s depravity. We also understand how they prey on the minds of young people like vultures.

Here’s a look at the video.

Servicing Satan

If one reads mass media reviews, MONTERO is about LNX being his “real self” because Montero is his real first name. However, the video tells a whole other story. Through biblical references and overt symbolism, MONTERO becomes a celebration of Satanism disguised as a “queer song”.

The first scene shows a heavenly setting. However, the horns hint at evil lurking.

The video begins with a narrator saying:

“In life, we hide the parts of ourselves we don’t want the world to see. We lock them away. We tell them no. We banish them. But here…we don’t. Welcome to Montero.”

Some might think that this is about LNX wanting to be openly gay. However, the video makes it clear: It is about LNX being openly Satanic.

In the Garden of Eden, LNX plays the role of Adam … or Eve … or both combined. Who knows.

The biblical serpent – aka Lucifer – takes an alien/human form and gets rather lascivious with LNX.

As Lucifer performs an explicit act on LNX, the camera pans back to the tree.

On the Tree of Knowledge are inscribed enigmatic words and symbols.

There is nothing random happening in this scene. Everything here has a profound meaning to the occult elite. Here are some examples:

Leviathan’s cross, also known as the cross of Satan.

666 symbol.

This is a screenshot of an FBI file describing the symbol of the spiral used in pedo circles to identify “little boy lovers”.

The Greek words of the tree form a quote taken from Plato’s Symposium. It says:

 “After the division the two parts of man, each desiring his other half.”

To better understand this quote, we must look at the general context of the Symposium. In this philosophical text, several men attend a banquet (where wine is flowing freely) and participate in a contest of speeches to praise Eros, the god of love and desire.

Strangely enough, one of the speeches praises “boy love”.

Pausanias contrasts common desire with a “heavenly” love between an older man and a young man (before the age when his beard starts to grow), in which the two exchange sexual pleasure while the older man imparts wisdom to the younger one.
– Wikipedia, Symposium

After being possessed by Lucifer, LNX finds himself on Earth and he’s being judged with severity.

LNX is chained as people judge him.

Meanwhile, LNX sings some explicit lyrics:

I want that jet lag from f*ckin’ and flyin’
Shoot a child in your mouth while I’m ridin’

A crowd of dumb-looking people (who appear to be blind) yells at LNX. Do these people represent the “unenlightened masses”?

The rest of the verse is extremely telling:

A sign of the times every time that I speak
A dime and a nine, it was mine every week
What a time, an incline, God was shinin’ on me
Now I can’t leave
And now I’m actin’ hella elite
Never want the niggas that’s in my league
I wanna fuck the ones I envy, I envy

The first line is a reference to LNX’s critics who say that his entire career is a sign of the biblical End Times where everything degenerates. In the rest of this verse, LNX sings about his success in the music industry. A “dime and a nine” is a reference to Old Town Road‘s sitting at #1 in Billboard charts for 19 weeks.

In another line, LNX says that “he can’t leave” the industry and that he’s now acting “hella elite”. In other words, he’s stuck and he’s under the control of the industry. The last line is about him lusting after those he envies which is a direct reference to two cardinal sins of Christianity (lust and envy). In other words, he now lives by the sinful ways of the elite.

After being stoned by the people, LNX ascends to heaven. However, a stripper pole emerges and LNX decides to descend into hell. As a stripper.

LNX is now in underwear and knee-high boots as slides down a stripper pole to hell.

LNX arrives at the throne of Satan.

This scene is replete with symbols that are used in actual black magic and satanic rituals. There is a reason why these exact symbols keep appearing in popular culture: This is not entertainment, this is religious indoctrination.

The symbol on the ground is inspired by the goat of Mendes pentagram as depicted by Stanislas de Gaita in Clef de la Magie Noire.

On the left, Adam and Eve are united in a magical union of the opposites. LNX embodied the same concept at the beginning of the video. On the right is the goat of Mendes inside an inverted pentagram. This symbol was used to form the Sigil of the Church of Satan.

Around the pentagram is the Latin saying “damnant quod non intellegunt” which means “they condemn what they don’t understand”. Dude, Lil Nas X (if that’s even your real name), I don’t think YOU fully understand what this is all about.

Then, LNX literally grinds on Satan for an uncomfortable amount of seconds.

This scene sums up the entire video. And it sums up the message the elite wants to communicate to young people. This is not about being “yourself”, it is about becoming a literal prostitute to the elite’s system and submitting to its satanic ways.

After seducing Satan, LNX grabs Satan’s horns and places them on his own head.

Then, he becomes a Lucifer-like fallen angel.

In the final scene, LNX achieves the ultimate goal of occultists: To become a god himself. His initiation into the satanic realm is complete.

Some mass media critics claim that the satanic context of the video is actually a metaphor about him being gay and condemn for his lifestyle. However, his “Satan shoes” prove that there is no metaphor happening here. Everything is quite literal.

Satan Shoes

Alongside his infernal video, LNX collaborated with the streetwear company MSCHF to release custom Nike sneakers. The number of pairs available: 666.

The imagery on the official website of the shoes is basically a shrine to Satan.

This is what we see while the website loads.

A screenshot of the Satan shoe website. Depictions of hell and the devil, the number 666, inverted crosses, inverted pentagrams … it’s all there.

On the shoe is also written “Luke 10:18”. This biblical verse says:

And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven”

These shoes are cursed.

LNX does the one-eye sign while holding a 666 shoe. What else does he need to do to make you understand that he’s a complete slave to the satanic elite?

The website also mentions that the sole of each shoe contains one drop of human blood.

The fact that this item contains actual blood is extremely meaningful. First, the elite loves to wear items that contain actual human organic matter. Furthermore, the drop of blood alludes to the elite’s favorite activities: Witchcraft and blood sacrifices.

In Conclusion

Lil Nas X’s first hit Old Time Road was a mega-hit that was particularly loved by children. As with nearly every celebrity that is popular with young people, LNX was recruited by the elite to propagate its toxic agenda. The video MONTERO manages to combine all of the toxicity the elite wants to indoctrinate the youth with: Hypersexualization, gender blurring, and the promotion of Satanism as a cool religion.

Contrary to what is being said in mass media about this song, nothing about it “empowering” or “liberating”. It is about slavery. In the video, LNX is a literal sex worker for Satan. The two other leading figures in rap right now are Cardi B and Meghan Stallion. They are also being praised for their playing the roles of prostitutes in a music video. Is Black culture truly being “empowered” right now? Or is it being pimped by the elite?

As LNX says himself, the video MONTERO is definitely a “sign of the times”. The scene where he grinds on the devil is as symbolic as it is visceral. It encapsulates everything that is wrong, toxic, and debased in popular culture today. It reflects the dark minds of those who control the music business and the sick messages it is looking to indoctrinate young people with.

And the fact that mass media is celebrating this thing is telling. On one hand, they are censoring speech, canceling people, and burning books that go slightly against its agenda. On the other hand, they talk about “free speech” when defending WAP (a video about Beta Kitten slaves), Cuties (a movie promoting the sexualization of 11-year-old children), and El Diablo (a Eurovision song about being in love with the devil).

In short, MONTERO is a blatant confirmation of everything that has been described on this site for years. If watching LNX grinding on Satan doesn’t convince you that there’s an agenda going on, then absolutely nothing will.

Paranormal Foolishness

 

Demon pretending to be a child. It cannot, however, hide what it is. Greenish grey skin, dead sunken eyes, long black hair. Ugly, malevolent grin. These creatures gain pleasure from your fear and suffering. Immense pleasure. Invoke Yeshua and declare your sovereignty.

Most of the paranormal stuff in the last few years is by coven acolytes. They do this for the obvious reasons, pretending to pretend, it's something else. Many of the main ghost investigation teams are coven members, go to created events, that they themselves create, by their interaction with the demonic realm. Mostly.

A few are residual hauntings at known places and asylums, prisons, etc,  and more often than not, are anchors for demons because they know new prey is always looking for a jump scare. The demons themselves pretend to be little children or women, crying out HELP ME HELP ME.

This is to get what they want. Permission to attach and they count on the gullibility of people who then make the mistake of inviting them to

"Use my energy to get to the light"

"How can I help you?"

All these and many other suck declarations are PERMISSION TO ATTACH to the giver. And now they have a problem that follows them for the rest of their days, slowly ruining their life, leading them deeper into self destructive influences. 

This is why all these ghost hunter teams with popular channels do these "investigations."

It's what they want. The whole point is to get people into situations whereby they can be fooled into giving permission on some level. All these ghost hunter teams always follow the same script, relaying to the demons permission giving declarations, which others emulate.

Their job is not to provide a scare, but to invoke curiosity among the naive. Which then happens. Then their lives turn to shit, as every single one of them reports. But no one reads those or hears those.

I've spent the last 20 years clearing out demonic locales, hundreds of them. To stop this. But I cannot stop the individual from doing something, through ignorance, leads to their own downfall other than to warn. It's a matter of education, of which little exists to protect the unwise.

So share this knowledge, to those who want to get to these places and "see for themselves."

IF you must go, pray before, during, and after. and SAY NOTHING. Ever. While in such a place. Your words have power, meaning, and AFFECT FREE WILL OUTCOMES. And that's on you, not the demons.

That's on you.

Also, bless a bottle of water in Yeshua's name and scatter it in the corners and doorways. Any mirrors found should be destroyed at once. Never take one home. Also, never ever take any item-regardless of what it is or its assumed value-from any place that is haunted or has been used for dark rituals. You bring and give permission to any entity if you do so.

 

This is a nephilim witch. Notice the hitchhiker just to her left. These are demons. This is a witch. Ignore the beauty, the soul is black.

 

 

THE DEATH OF TUTANKHAMUN and THE EXODUS- "Battle for the Firstborn"

A Natsarim (Christian) who works with crystals, mixing art with science. Bad thing?

 Well, crystals are a part of life. Until digital anything, computers, radios, TVs, telephones, and electricity all have as their basis, crystals. Window pane glass, is melted quartz crystals. Any glass. From anywhere.

Also, The Way as given over by YHVH has on the High Priest's chest, a square board with 12 different semi precious crystals and stones. And it's more than symbolic, as in everything in reality. 

The Ark of the Covenant lies in Jeremiah's grotto, and the entire inner wall of that escarpment is one gigantic quartz crystal that extends deep in the earth, as sub surface radar scanning has revealed. When Ron Wyatt was in that chamber, he was amazed as the scintillating rainbow light the HUGE crystal was vibrating with, with the Ark sitting adjacent to that crystal.

So, are crystals and orgone bad? Not at all. Orgone is working with unseen magnetic energy. We cannot see magnetism nor radio waves, but we know they exist. And we work with that to our creative advantage in our modern times. Orgone is just a knowledge that is known and demonstrated, but generally, like most awesome things, kept from the general public. The other bad rap orgone has is all the witches who use crystals for dark purposes.

A car can be used to transport gunmen to banks or move a family about during the day. It's intent and how it is used, that makes a thing GOOD OR BAD.

I always include The blessings of The Most High Elohim, YHVH in all my work. And these creations have proven their worth to countless thousands since those early days in 2001, when Don Croft and I were just starting out. We came out of that period with some fine inventions, some very dangerous, mostly beneficial to the environment in which they are found.

Sky Trumpets in America 2021

Sky Trumpets in America 2021

by Don Bradley

Amazing times we live in. The darkest of times coupled with the revelation of the intentions with the Most High Elohim, YHVH. Among the many events emerging upon the world stage is Sky Trumpets. These are those Shofar blasts people all over the world have been hearing.

Of course, we possess the audio and technical prowess to fake such things and make them appear to be the genuine article. This is not outside the realm of possibility. And in some instances, these are mechanical artificial sounds, the dark side is using to replicate Our Heavenly Father's own angelic acts in accordance with the Book of Revelations.

The KEY difference is, having experienced these myself, is that when it is from Dad, or on High, you feel it within yourself as well as hear it as it does indeed come from the sky. Angelic trumpet blasts have an energetic quality regular sounds cannot imitate. You feel it as well as hear it. It is unique in that respect and unlike the mechanical, fake stuff the chicoms pull off on their people, as do other countries, in their efforts to hijack and mimic Yeshua's Holy Work. As it is written.

So, that's the tell. If you feel it inside, on an inner level, then you have a sky trumpet. 

A friend of mine acquired a shofar horn (2 of them) and we spent a bit of time (our prayer and study group) blowing it and getting a good idea of what it should sound like. And, when you search out sky trumpets, you find both kinds. The real deal, that sounds like a shofar horn and the fake, grinding mechanical kind, which is their lousy attempts at hijacking.

Because of course, the satanists are doing what they can to hijack this thing for their own immoral purposes of deceiving the people. Be not deceived, friends.

Pope Francis Calls for ‘New World Order’

The mouthpiece of the Beast speaks.

In a book-length interview with journalist Domenico Agasso titled God and the World to Come, scheduled for release in Italian on Tuesday, the pontiff reiterates his case for the Great Reset with a shift away from financial speculation, fossil fuels, and military build-up toward a green economy based on inclusiveness.

After the coronavirus pandemic, “no one today can afford to rest easy,” the pope declares in a lengthy extract from the book published by Vatican News. “The world will never be the same again. But it is precisely within this calamity that we must grasp those signs which may prove to be the cornerstones of reconstruction.”

“Let us all keep in mind that there is something worse than this crisis: the drama of wasting it,” he states. “We cannot emerge from a crisis the same as before: we either come out better or we come out worse.”

Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. 7But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. 8Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. 9As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 10Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. 11And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith Yahua our Elohim; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

 

California’s proposed ethnic studies curriculum demands that students to chant to the Aztec deity of human sacrifice

 

Don Bradley

the California Department of Education has adopted a statewide ethnic studies curriculum that advocates for the “decolonization” of American society and elevates Aztec religious symbolism—all in the service of a left-wing satanic ideology.

Precisely, it's a slave based religious system based on ancient Moloch worship and human sacrifice combined with modern satanism and MKULTRA satanic ritual abuse. 

As bad as the above is, everyone seems on board with making this the new foundation for education in our schools AS PART OF THE GREAT RESET. Sniffy and Blo are down, and teachers, parents, mostly everyone in the satanic network that is beholden to the coven system is pushing this through and nothing is standing in the way of it. Not the churches, certainly not most parents who are too afraid to rock the boat and not appear like a knee kneeling sycophant to the blue haired tattoo gangsters with slave rings to their freak lovers.

Out goes Christianity and ONE ELOHIM. In comes Lucifer and his 200 captains who are freed from Sheol as their 70x70 generations in darkness has EXPIRED. And all must bend the knee and chant their creed of death, slaughter, and infant sacrifice. The Aztecs were masters of wiping out people in human sacrifice. 

Cortes was a blessing to the other cultures that were constantly under attack by the Aztecs for their virgin women and children. In point of fact, at every Aztec and Mayan city, they've uncovered burial pits with hundreds of thousands of skeletal remains; mostly children and infants. All revealing signs of beheading and a knife plunge into the chest. As satanists do, in our time. They want that blood...that soured, filled with terror blood the demonics demand as payment for services rendered. It's the bridge that spans their dimension with ours.

This is the new program, called the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, seeks to extend the satanist’s cultural dominance of California’s public university system, 50 years in the making, to the state’s entire primary and secondary education system, which consists of 10,000 public schools serving a total of 6 million students. 

So, six million mostly Hispanic children get to reanimate by chanting, the ancient devils that were the abominations that resulted in a worldwide flood. These satanic priests know exactly what they are doing. By chanting a fallen's creed while staring at their sigil (the kids are getting both from these witches with clipboards and nose rings) they give THEIR ENERGY to that entity. Which empowers it. It's like filling an empty, though evil, vessel with its own spiritual nuclear reactor.

This is open satanism in public schools. Period. Expect countless cases of possession, madness, and cruelty to emerge at once from this singular act of evil.

California Public Schools To Adopt Ethnic Studies Curriculum ‘Displacing’ Christianity In Favor Of Aztec Chants

California’s Department of Education is set to vote on a new ethnic studies curriculum that seeks to “displace White, Christian culture” and encourages chants to Aztec deities.

Human sacrifice replaces the King of Peace.

The proposed changes would affect a curriculum used by the state’s entire primary and secondary education system, which serves 6 million students.

“Next week, the California Department of Education will vote on a new statewide ethnic studies curriculum that advocates for the “decolonization” of American society and elevates Aztec religious symbolism—all in the service of a left-wing political ideology,” City Journal summarizes.

The model curriculum instructs teachers to “challenge racist, bigoted, discriminatory, imperialist/colonial beliefs” and critique “white supremacy, racism and other forms of power and oppression” in the classroom. These satanic baby killers HATE YHVH and Yahusha. They are in love with the beast that demands dead children. The Aztecs were nephilim in South America. Cortez was sent to clear out the ritual murderers of families and their young.

“The ultimate goal is to “decolonize” American society and establish a new regime of “countergenocide” and “counterhegemony,” which will displace white Christian culture and lead to the “regeneration of indigenous epistemic and cultural futurity,” City Journal’s Christopher Rufo notes.

Specifically, the curriculum advises teachers to lead students in various indigenous songs, chants, and affirmations, including the “In Lak Ech Affirmation,” which appeals directly to the Aztec gods. Chanting to Moloch is a dangerous and stupid thing to program children to do. These satanic teachers know that by doing so, these kids are inviting the worst kind of demons into their lives to stay and cause death and ruin.

“Students first clap and chant to the god Tezkatlipoka—whom the Aztecs traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice and cannibalism—asking him for the power to be “warriors” for “social justice.” Next, the students chant to the gods Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli, and Xipe Totek, seeking “healing epistemologies” and “a revolutionary spirit.” Huitzilopochtli, in particular, is the Aztec deity of war and inspired hundreds of thousands of human sacrifices during Aztec rule. Finally, the chant comes to a climax with a request for “liberation, transformation, [and] decolonization,” after which students shout “Panche beh! Panche beh!” in pursuit of ultimate “critical consciousness,” the curriculum stipulates.

TRANS-Figuration: A Word on the Equality Act

Crazy "shaking head prophetess" of the mainstream mega church deception is demon possessed

Here is Stacey Campbell doing her crazy making blatherings about the "future." All the big mainstream (network satanists, giving over false doctrine and blaspheming Yeshua and YHVH) are pushing this woman as a prophet sent from God.

Really?

So, I caught this from a video of her and present what was visible for a single frame of footage.

But first, the Holy Word says that NO WOMEN are to be Preachers nor are any of woman to be or ever were PROPHETS. It's just the way it is. Women have a role in the Church, yes. But not as Preachers, Priests, or Ministers. 

And never was there an instance in the true history of the world that Our Heavenly Father used a woman's body for his message and guidance via the prophet system He established.

So, at the outset, she's a fraud. A fake. She is a false prophet and is, as it happens, quite evil. See the following

As can be seen, her controlling demon makes an appearance while she is onstage doing her thing. Misleading, lying, and blaspheming the Most High Yahua with her phony messages from On High. It's the face of the damned. She speaks evil blasphemies. And the churches that push her on the world stage big time, completely compromised and satanic.

The Sansevero Chapel

Local legends about the Sansevero Chapel of Naples claim that the astonishing works of art it contains are the result of sorcery and black magic. The sculptures appear impossible to create by hand, while a macabre display featuring two actual human bodies is said to be the result of ritual killings. Also, adding to the occult aura surrounding the chapel, it is filled with Masonic symbolism.

 At first glance, Capella Sansevero is your typical Italian chapel from the 17th century, tastefully filled with paintings and sculptures of a religious nature. However, a closer look at the various items in the chapel reveals that something is “off” about this place. Some sculptures are so “organic-looking” that they lead many to believe they were the result of a supernatural process. Furthermore, the enigmatic symbolism found around the chapel heavily hints to an allegorical esoteric message.

And, when visitors climb down a few stairs, they see this:

The chapel has on display two actual human remains with their entire nervous system on display. Creepily dubbed “Adam and Eve” – and even more creepily referred to as “anatomical machines” – this bizarre display has been the subject of all kinds of rumors.

To fully understand what is going on with the chapel, one must understand its creator: Raimondo di Sangro, the Prince of Sansevero. While he was considered a brilliant inventor and philosopher by many, others believed that he was a cruel black magician who killed people to conduct bizarre experiments.

A visit to his Sansevero Chapel gives credence to both points of view as it puts on display all of di Sangro’s alchemical genius … and madness. Before looking at the bizarre works of art on display at the chapel, let’s first look at the man behind it all.

Raimondo di Sangro, the “Sorcerer Prince”

From the age of 10, di Sangro was educated at the Jesuit College of Rome. In 1730, at age 20, he came back to Naples using the title “Prince of Sansevero”. He soon joined the ranks of occult secret societies.

“In spite of the religious training that he had received with the Jesuits, the young man soon joined the secret brotherhood of the Rosicrucians, where he was initiated into ancient alchemic rituals, the so called “sacred art” or “king’s art” which had been handed down through the centuries from Egyptian priest to their disciples. Don Raimondo had found his life calling. While maintaining the outmost silence about “his brothers” and the teachings he was receiving (he left no documents whatsoever on the activities of the mysterious sect) the Prince radically changed his life and devoted all his time to alchemy. Vials, ovens and alembics filled the cellar of his palace and at nighttime it was not rare to see strange, colored vapors and disgusting smells coming out of the barred windows of his cellar. It was at that time that Neapolitans started labeling him a sorcerer.”
– Rino Di Stefano, Raimondo de Sangro, the “Sorcerer” Prince

Di Sangro introduced Freemasonry to his city as he became the head of the Neapolitan Masonic Lodge. This fact, combined with his knack for presenting peculiar inventions, such as an “eternal flame” made from a chemical compound of his creation and human skull bones, only grew the legend surrounding Di Sangro.

“Prince Raimondo di Sangro was known as an eccentric, enigmatic, and mystical man. He was the head of the Neapolitan Masonic lodge, the symbols of which are interspersed throughout the chapel, and was a student of numerous areas of the sciences, as well as alchemy and other mystical disciplines. He also spoke several exotic languages such as Hebrew and Arabic and was an inventor, some of his inventions of which were rather bizarre, such as a mechanized carriage with wooden horses that was said to be able to travel over both land and water. These eccentricities led to the Prince garnering a reputation as a practitioner of wizardry and black magic, and rumors abounded that he performed sinister magical rituals, human sacrifices, and curses. It was also said that he could perform great feats of alchemy, such as creating blood out of water or even thin air, and that he used the various body parts of his sacrificed victims in his odious spells and potions. The Prince was said to lock himself away for days on end and perform demented experiments on human beings, such as reanimating the dead. These dark rumors and legends that swirled around the Prince made him into a man to be feared and avoided; a larger than life black sorcerer who could bend magical and natural forces to his will. The Prince did little to deny these rumors and it is thought that he even encouraged them.”

One of di Sangro’s many “hobbies” was Bel Canto, which means “beautiful singing”. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Who doesn’t appreciate beautiful singing?

However, for di Sangro, “Bel Canto” means buying little boys from impoverished parents, castrating them and forcing them to sing.

“In spite of his being acquainted with the pleasures of family life and having children (…), the Prince enjoyed going around his many estates looking for young boys with beautiful voices. Usually he would find them in the church choir. Then he would “buy” them from their parents (usually poor, illiterate peasants who had many children) and had his personal physician, don Giuseppe Salerno, castrate them. He would then lock them up in the Conservatory of Jesus Christ’s Poor in Naples, where these young castrated boys started their careers as “sopranist”.
(…)

He saw in the castrati a search for perfection, which according to the Rosicrucians resulted from “annulling the dualism that comes from separation, a return to the primordial androgynous being”.
– Ibid.

As di Sangro’s reputation grew, and his writings gained publicity, he made powerful friends and powerful enemies. His involvement with Freemasonry lead to his writings being banned and for him to be excommunicated by the Catholic Church.

He spent the latter days of his life decorating the Sansevero Chapel, turning this small place into a grandiose representation of the “alchemical and Masonic path to illumination”.

A Mysterious Occult Temple

Before it was transformed by Raimondo di Sangro, the Sansevero Chapel was already the subject of bizarre rumors. It was said to have been constructed on an old temple of Isis and, to prove this fact, locals point to a massive statue of the God of the Nile, located just around the corner from his home.

The Statue of the God of the Nile in Naples.

Adding to the sinister factor, the Palazzo Sansevero was the scene of a brutal murder at the end of the 16th century, when the composer Carlo Gesualdo caught his wife and her lover together and hacked them to death in their bed. Up until 1888, a passageway connected Palazzo Sansevero to the Sansevero Chapel.

However, it is when Raimondo di Sangro turned this chapel into an alchemical project that the site became an attraction, especially in occult circles. Other than the enigmatic “hidden message” of the chapel, it is the works of art that mystify visitors. They appear to daringly declare: “I was an occultist and this is what I could do”.

The works of art in the Sansevero Chapel are indeed unique, powerful and unsettling, forcing visitors to ask: “How did he do that”? And, when one knows the esoteric and alchemical background of the Prince, observing them leads to the question: “Was this done through an occult process?”

The most compelling example of this is The Veiled Christ. Set in the middle of the chapel, this sculpture of Christ covered by a thin veiled has an unnerving quality: How was this marble sculpture made using a block of stone and a chisel? The veil is too … real.

“Veiled Christ”

“Completed in 1753 by Giuseppe Sanmartino and commissioned by Raimondo di Sangro, it portrays Christ deposed after crucifixion, covered by a transparent veil. This veil is rendered with such subtlety as to be almost deceiving to the eye, and the effect seen in person is really striking: one gets the impression that the “real” sculpture is lying underneath, and that the shroud could be easily grabbed and lifted.

It’s precisely because of Sanmartino’s extraordinary virtuosity in sculpting the veil that a legend surrounding this Christ dies hard – fooling from time to time even specialized magazines and otherwise irreproachable art websites.

Legend has it that prince Raimondo di Sangro, who commissioned the work, actually fabricated the veil himself, laying it down over Sanmartino’s sculpture and petrifying it with an alchemic method of his own invention; hence the phenomenal liquidness of the drapery, and the “transparence” of the tissue.”
– Bizarrobazar, The Mystery of Chapel Sansevero

For centuries, a “black legend” surrounded this sculpture and others in the chapel that held that the Prince used a mysterious alchemical process to “marbelize” a fine cloth placed over the sculpture.

Some observers noticed a troubling detail about that sculpture: Christ appears to still be breathing.

“There may be another small “anomaly” in this Veiled Christ, as there is a slight indentation over the nostril, as if the shroud is being sucked in by breath – is this “dead Jesus” alive? Did di Sangro believe that Jesus had not died on the Cross? If so, perhaps he was not only a Mason, but a member of another, even more mysterious, order?

Jesus disappeared from his tomb – but he is not alone. The Prince’s tombstone can still be seen in the chapel. He died on March 22, 1771, “from a sudden illness caused by his mechanic experiments”. During the long nights he spent in his laboratory he had probably inhaled or ingested some toxic substance, which this time had indeed become lethal. His sarcophagus, however, does not contain his body; someone stole it. When or why is not known.

Raimondo had a plaque placed in the chapel, stating that the person who commissioned those works (i.e. himself) was moved by a desire “to astonish, discover and teach”.
– Phillip Coppens, The Alchemical Chapel

On the left of Veiled Christ is The Chastity, a sculpture modeled after di Sangro’s mother Cecilia Caetani d’Aragona. The naked woman is covered from head to toe by a thin veil which reveals her forms in every detail. This work of art is, once again, another “supernatural” feat of sculpture. How can this effect be achieved using marble?

“The Chastity (La Pudicizia) by Corradini, with its drapery veiling the female character as if it was transparent, is another “mystery” of sculpting technique, where the stone seems to have lost its weight, becoming ethereal and almost floating. Imagine how the artist started his work from a squared block of marble, how his mind’s eye “saw” this figure inside of it, how he patiently removed all which didn’t belong, freeing the figure from the stone little by little, smoothing the surface, refining, chiselling every wrinkle of her veil.”
– Op. Cit, Bizarrobazar.

Although the statue was modeled after di Sangro’s mother, it is clearly a tribute to the most important figure in Freemasonry: Veiled Isis.

“The veiled woman can be interpreted as an allegory of Wisdom, and the reference to the veiled Isis, special divinity of the science of initiation.”
– Made in South Italy, The Alchemist Chapel

Indeed, in occult symbolism, Veiled Isis is the ultimate representation of occult mysteries where the truth is veiled to the profane until true esoteric initiation.

“The mysteries of Hermeticism, the great spiritual truths hidden from the world by the ignorance of the world, and the keys of the secret doctrines of the ancient philosophers, are all symbolized by the Virgin Isis. Veiled from head to foot, she reveals her wisdom only to the tried and initiated few who have earned the right to enter her sacred presence, tear from the veiled of Nature its shroud of obscurity, and stand face to face with the Divine Reality. (…)

To the modern seeker she is the epitome of the Great Unknown, and only those who unveil her will be able to solve the mysteries of life, death, generation, and regeneration.”
– Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages

Locals claim that The Chastity is placed exactly where a statue of Isis stood, back when the chapel was a temple of Isis.

On the opposite side of The Chastity is Disillusionment, another perplexing sculpture infused with profound symbolism. Modeled after the Prince’s father Antonio di Sangro, it depicts a man struggling to free himself from a net as he is being helped by a winged youth.

A close-up shot.

Once again, a mystery surrounds this sculpture: How can a net be sculpted over a body that appears to have been already sculpted underneath? Was an alchemical process used to achieve this astonishing result?

Not unlike The Chasity, this sculpture is an allegory for a fundamental Masonic concept: The freeing of Man using the intellect.

“Its allegorical meaning is that man is intent on freeing himself from false beliefs (the net) with the aid of the intellect (the young man).”
– Rino Di Stefano, “San Severo”

Although there are several other sculptures in the chapel, the three above clearly stand out and are connected with their mysterious organic qualities. Furthermore, these three sculptures constitute an “esoteric triangle”. With The Chastity on the left (representing the female principle), Disillusionment on the right (representing the male principle) and Veiled Christ in the middle (representing the “perfected man”), the sculptures esoterically represent the most fundamental hermetic principle: Duality merging to create a perfected being.

In occult circles, this concept is personified by Isis and Osiris uniting to create Horus – the perfect being. (It is a declaration of the Satan merging with Lilith/Semiramis/Diana/Jezebel to create Nimrod, the anti Christ. DB)

In my article about Sirius, I explain:

“To achieve perfection, the initiate must successfully understand and internalize the dual nature of the world (good and evil; masculine and feminine; black and white, etc.) through alchemical metamorphosis. This concept is symbolically represented by the union of Osiris and Isis (the male and female principles) to give birth to Horus, the star-child, the Christ-like figure, the perfected man of Freemasonry – who is equated with the Blazing Star.”

The original floor of the chapel also heavily plays on the concept of duality and esoteric initiation.

The original floor of the chapel before it was changed in 1909.

The original floor was in black and white – meant to represent duality and the unification of opposing forces – not unlike the checkerboard floor found in all Masonic lodges. The intricate, tri-dimensional design depicts a labyrinth – a masonic symbol for initiation.

“Labyrinths and mazes were favored places of initiation among many ancient cults. Remains of these mystic mazes have been found among the American Indians, Hindus, Persians, Egyptians, and Greeks. (…) The famous labyrinth of Crete, in which roamed the bull-headed Minotaur, was unquestionably a place of initiation into the Cretan Mysteries.

Labyrinths were symbolic of the involvements and illusions of the lower world through which wanders the soul of man in its search for truth.”
– Hall, op. cit.

Just like duality opposes black and white, the sublime works of art described above are opposed to a morbid and sinister display: The Anatomical Machines.

Adam and Eve

The two “anatomical machines” on display at Capella Sansevero.

What the heck are those things might you ask? Well, they’re exactly what you’re hoping they are not. And maybe worse. This exhibit consists of two actual skeletons of a mature male and a pregnant woman. Their entire nervous system is exposed, where the arteries are colored red and the veins are colored blue. The fetus of the pregnant woman was on also originally on display but the specimen mysteriously disappeared.

The macabre display.

How did Raimondo di Sangro preserve the nervous system of these human remains? Well, that’s a mystery that keeps on being mysterious. And, once again, a “dark legend” surrounds these “anatomical machines”.

It was indeed rumored that “Adam and Eve” were two servants of di Sangro who were injected with a substance that crystallized their nervous system – killing them in the process. Here’s a dramatic account of the legend:

“The Prince, just like a sorcerer, is stirring the preparation in a big cauldron. Eventually, the long-awaited reaction takes place: a mysterious liquid is ready. On the other side of the room, the two bound and gagged servants can’t even scream anymore. The man is sobbing, while the woman, even immobilized, stays vigilant and alert — perhaps the new life she carries in her womb prevents her from giving in to fear, commanding an already impossible defense. The Prince hasn’t got much time, he has to act quickly. He pours the liquid down a strange pump, then he gets close to his victims: in their eyes he sees an unnameable terror. He starts with the man, puncturing the jugular vein and injecting the liquid right into his bloodstream with a syringe. The heart will pump the preparation throughout the body, and the Prince watches the agonizing man’s face as the dense poison begins to circulate. There, it’s all done: the servant is dead. It will take two to three hours for the mixture to solidify, and surely more than a month for the putrified flesh to fall off the skeleton and the network of veins, arteries and capillaries the process turned into marble. Now it’s the woman’s turn.”
– bizzarrobazar, The mysteries of Sansevero Chapel

Recent studies claim that di Sangro artificially recreated the nervous systems of these bodies using wire and beeswax. However, manually recreating such a complex system of wires is a near-impossible task.

“These two skeletons are overlaid with a complex, twisting network of metal tendrils and hardened arteries and veins which represent the arterial system, viscera and musculature of human beings with amazing, meticulous accuracy. The skulls of the two figures are hinged, and can be opened to reveal an incredibly detailed spiderweb of blood vessels within. Upon their unveiling, the disturbing models were so mystifying and grotesque that it was believed that the dark Prince had actually used his black magic and alchemy on some of his unwilling servants to morph them into these abominations.

Regardless of whether they are the result of black magic or not, Adam and Eve present a number of very real mysteries, not the least of which is how they were made in the first place. For years the method of construction was the source of bafflement among scientists and doctors. Were the intricate hardened circulatory systems real, and if so how did they remain so remarkably well preserved for over 200 years? Were they artificial? If so, how could they be reproduced so faithfully? Since there was little to no documentation as to the original creation of the anatomical machines, these were questions for which the answers long remained elusive. The main theory was that the two anatomical machines were created through a process known as plasticization, or “human metallization,” which involves injecting substances directly into the circulatory systems of subjects while they were still living, after which these materials would travel along the veins and harden, painfully killing the unfortunate victim in the process. However, no one really knew for sure.”
– Op Cit. Swancer

No matter what the case may be, these anatomical machines aren’t simply there to freak out visitors. They are also said to serve a symbolic purpose in the alchemical “great work” that is the chapel.

Through various clues, it is believed that the anatomical machines represent the last stage of the alchemical process called Rubedo – the reddening – symbolized by a red phoenix rising from its ashes. Interesting fact: The “machines” were originally on display in a room called The Phoenix.

“the originary placement of the “anatomical machines”, inside the Phoenix Apartment on a revolving platform, looks like a symbolic choice: maybe Raimondo di Sangro thought of them as a depiction of the rubedo, a stage in the search for the philosopher’s stone in which matter recomposes itself, granting immortality.”
– Op. Cit., bizzarrobazar

The least one can say is that the chapel is surrounded by mystery. This is only amplified by the fact that di Sangro destroyed his own scientific archive before he died. Then, after his death, under threat of excommunication by the Church due to di Sangro’s involvement with Freemasonry and alchemy, his descendants destroyed what was left of his writings, formulae, laboratory equipment and results of experiments. All that is left is thinly veiled symbolism.

In Conclusion

In the image of its creator, the Chapel of Sansevero is brash and unapologetic. It is a satanic celebration of the esoteric path and a showcase of the alchemical know-how of a possessed occultist. While “occult” literally means “hidden from the public”, Raimondo di Sangro spent his life publicizing his interests and discoveries, barely “placing a veil” on the true nature of his experiments.

(The Chapel is, therefore, one of those rare instances where “magic” can be seen in plain sight. It is the evil kind of magic that reveals the elements of creation and salvation juxtaposed with the inevitable rise of the anti-Christ to come. DB)
