MASONIC CELESTIAL MYSTERIES .

LONDON , SATURDAY , MAY 15 , 1869 .

By HENKT MELVILLE . PAPER 7 . —OMNIA VINCIT VEEITAS . ( Continued from , page 366 ) . " It is not every one that is barely initiated into

Freemasonry that is entrusted with all its mysteries therewith belonging , they are not obtainable as things of course nor by every capacity . "— " The Use and Abuse of Masonry" by Captain George Smith , p . 2 S

It is now intended to give the Masonic Celestial reading of the Creation—it certainly will be found to differ from the universal exoteric interpretation . There are two Creations recorded in Genesis , the writer who describes them both , being Moses ,

whose name means " draivn up , " or as commonly understood " saved from the water . " The celestial personation of Moses is Neptune , more generally known among operative Masons or astronomers as aquarius . Neptune has charge

of the Hue or equator , aud equiuoxcally the sun is " drawn up " northward from the line when he rises with Friga or Easter . The Sun of Righteousness is unquestionably the saviour of the world , and Crtiden and other orthodox authorities infoi'm

us that Moses is one of the names of the Saviour . In Hebrew Moses is iT ^ D , and these letters are a triad of celestial points applying to Friga or Easter . Some may be surprised at the Saviour being symbolised as Neptune * but they called

Barnabas Jupiter and Paxil Mercurius . Neptune , Jupiter , and Mercurius , all belong to the Greek Pan and are regular members of the Pantheon . The planets are all Gods and Goddesses and the learned , Dr . Parkhurst has translated and shewn that the word DTPN Elohim or the Gods means

the seven planetary bodies as known to the ancients . This word DTT 7 & in the first chapter and the three first verses of the second chapter of Genesis is translated God , and being misunderstood , a host of "Ignorant Learned" have attempted

to correct Moses in his Hebrew , and some have endeavoured to shew that the Gods mean , or ought to mean , a triad or Trinity . In the beginning In the beginning the Gods created & c . & c . The ^ and " e : ^ : beginning as already explained Gen . i . is with Pan or Capricornus , and

the Gods commenced their work from the Pantheon—it was in simple words the astral commencement of the solar year * The word " created " is in the Hebrew text H 12 % a , ra and correctly means formed in order ov brought into order . Bara has

another , an esoteric meaning denoting a triad of points , each letter expressing the commencement or the first degree of the year of 360 days or degrees . It must be remembered that the tropics extend , say 23 ° 30 ' on each side of the equator ,

that each tropic occupies six signs commencing and terminating at the Hue—the tropic of Capricornus ending where the tropic of Cancer commences , and consequently Capricornus commencingwhere Cancer endeth . From the vernal equinox

Aries in Cancer begins the astronomical year with Friga or Easter—six signs or clays are passed and then is the autumnal equinox beginning with Tisri Libra in the tropic of Capricornus and there is the Idol of Saxons " Seaten , " Saturn , giving Saturn ' s

day or Saturday the Jews passover sabbath— -that is the sabbath of the sacred year commencing' in Nisau or Aries . The Jews had another sabbath

at the termination of their lunar year beginning' in Libra and ending in Nisan or Aries . Now when the sun is in Aries , the world is in Libra when one half of the earths surface is in light , the other half in darkness , so that at the same

moments when at the equinox the sun rises at six o'clock in the morning for sun worshippers , it sets at six o'clock in the evening for those who adore the heavenly host . The polyglot Bible says at the introduction of Genesis , that creation

dates from Tisri which is Libra , and from thence is the lunar time reckoned by the Jews and that would begin at equi nox ( equal night all over the

world ) at six iu the evening . Ihus the sun s solar circle from Aries , and the earth's astral or say lunar cycle from Tisri actually are at one and the same point of time in the heavens . The Jews astral account of the Creation is about to be given

—it should be observed that the heaven is specified as being with the Gods in the beginning , and not the heavens . The sun then in Aries theearth in Libra , aud sun having set as aforesaid at six o'clock to one half the world , that half would
