the Brotherhood of the Snake

OF ALL THE animals revered in ancient human societies, none were as prominent or as important as
the snake. The snake was the logo of a group which had become very influential in early human
societies of both Hemispheres. That group was a disciplined Brotherhood dedicated to the
dissemination of spiritual knowledge and the attainment of spiritual freedom. This Brotherhood of the
Snake (also known as the Brotherhood of the Serpent, but which I will often refer to as simply the
Brotherhood) opposed the enslavement of spiritual beings and, according to Egyptian writings, it
sought to liberate the human race from Custodial bondage.*

* Because Brotherhood teachings included physical healing through spiritual means, the snake also came to symbolize
physical healing. Today the snake is featured on the logo of the American Medical Association.

The Brotherhood also imparted scientific knowledge and encouraged the high aesthetics that existed in
many ancient societies. For these and other reasons, the snake had become a venerated symbol to
humans and, according to Egyptian and biblical texts, an object of Custodial hatred. When we look to
discover who founded the Brotherhood, Mesopotamian texts point right back to that rebellious God,
Prince Ea. Ancient Mesopotamian tablets relate that Ea and his father, Anu, possessed profound
ethical and spiritual knowledge. This was the same knowledge that was later symbolized as trees in the
Biblical Adam and Eve story.

In fact, the Biblical tree symbol came from pre-Biblical Mesopotamian works, such as one showing a
snake wrapped around the trunk of a tree, identical to later portrayals of the snake in Eden. From the
tree in the Mesopotamian depiction hang two pieces of fruit. To the right of the tree is the half-moon
symbol of Ea; to the left is the planet symbol of Anu. The drawing indicates that Ea and Anu were
associated with the snake and its teachings. This connection is affirmed by other Mesopotamian texts
which describe Anus palace in the heavens as being guarded by a God of the Tree of Truth and a God
of the Tree of Life.

In one instance, Ea reportedly sent a human to be educated in that very knowledge:
Adapa [the name of an early man], thou art going
before Anu, the King;
The road to Heaven thou wilt take.
When to Heaven thou has ascended, and hast
approached the gate of Anu, the Bearer of Life and
the Grower of Truth at the gate of Anu will be
standing.1
We therefore find Ea designated as the reputed culprit who tried to teach early man (Adam) the way to
spiritual freedom. This suggests that Ea intended his creation, Homo sapiens, to be suited for Earth
labor, but at some point he changed his mind about using spiritual enslavement as a means. If Ea was a
true historical personality as the Sumerians claimed, then he was the probable leader of the Brotherhood
at its founding on Earth. The Brotherhood may have adopted the snake as its logo because Eas first
home on Earth was said to have been constructed by a serpent-infested swampland which Ea called
Snake Marsh. Another possible explanation for the snake logo is offered by Mr. Sitchin who says that
the biblical word for snake is nahash, which comes from the root word NHSH, meaning to decipher, to
find out.

Despite all of their reported good intentions, the legendary Ea and early Brotherhood clearly failed to
free the human race. Ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and biblical texts relate that the snake was
quickly defeated by other Custodial factions. The Bible informs us that the serpent in the Garden of Eden
was overcome before it was able to complete its mission and give Adam and Eve the fruit from the
second tree. Ea (who was also symbolized as a snake) was banished to Earth and was extensively
villainized by his opponents to ensure that he could never again secure a widespread following among
human beings.

Eas title was changed from Prince of Earth to Prince of Darkness. He was labeled other horrible
epithets: Satan, the Devil, Evil Incarnate, Monarch of Hell, Lord of Vermin, Prince of Liars, and more. He
was portrayed as the mortal enemy of a Supreme Being and as the keeper of Hell. People were taught
that his only intentions were to spiritually enslave everyone and that everything bad on Earth was
caused by him. Humans were encouraged to detect him in all of his future lives (incarnations) and to
destroy him and his creations whenever he was discovered.

All beliefs and practices named after his various appellations (Satanism, Devil Worship, etc.) were to
be made so horrific and degrading that no right-thinking person would (or should) have anything to do
with them. He and his followers were to be viewed by human beings with nothing but the utmost
loathing.

This is not to say that Ea was actually portrayed by ancient Sumerians as a saint. He was not. He was
described in Mesopotamian texts with distinct character flaws. If Ea was a real person, then he appears
to have been a genius who could get things done, but who was often careless about anticipating the
consequences of how he went about accomplishing his goals. By engineering a work race (Homo
sapiens), Ea wound up giving his enemies a powerful tool of spiritual repression. Ea then appears to
have compounded the blunder by founding and/or empowering the early Snake Brotherhood which, after
its reported defeat, continued to remain a powerful force in human affairs, but under the domination of
the very Custodial factions that Ea and the original Brotherhood were said to have opposed.

History indicates that the Brotherhood was turned under its new Custodial Gods into a chilling weapon
of spiritual repression and betrayal, despite the efforts of many sincere humanitarians to bring about true
spiritual reform through Brotherhood channels all the way up until today. By reportedly creating a work
race and the Brotherhood of the Snake, the God Ea had helped build a trap for billions of spiritual
beings on Earth.

As we shall now begin to carefully document, the Brotherhood of the Snake has been the worlds most
effective tool for preserving mankinds status as a spiritually ignorant creature of toil throughout all of
history. During all of that time, and continuing today, the Brotherhood and its network of organizations
have remained intimately tied to the UFO phenomenon. This corruption of the Brotherhood, and the
overwhelming effect it would have on human society, was already apparent by the year 2000 B.C. in
ancient Egypt the next stop on our journey.

The pyramids served many purposes. One purpose was that of initiation and ceremonial rites, both for
humans and for the magickal workings of the Gods. Many hieroglyphics depict the Gods tuning their
chakras with a rod-like instrument. Satan gave these energy centers to humanity, they are known as the
breath of life, breathed into us by God (Father Satan). There are seven primary chakras and many minor
ones. The hook and the flail were tuning tools for the primary chakras along the spine. A mural on a wall
at Abu Simbel depicts Horus holding a rod to the back of Osiris' head, at the point that is the primary
doorway to the eighth chakra (above the crown of the head).

The hook is moved up and down the rod to tune the chakra. Osiris is standing with an erection. Sexual
energy is a paramount component in the rite of resurrection and immortality. Kundalini is sexual; the life
force. Sexual energy is that of the life force, as it has the power to create life through another human
being. The sexual energy runs up and down the spine during the tuning process.

The Egyptian Ankh symbolizes eternal life and eternal life is linked to the breath. The Ankh is also linked
to sexual energy.

One of the key teachings was the overcoming of fear. Only when one surpasses all personal fears, can
higher levels be accessed. Fear i s the main emotion that prevents one from advancing spirituall y.
Fears must first be overcome here on Earth. To reach this goal, the Egyptians built special temples
along the Nile. There are 12, along with the great pyramid making 13. 1+3=4. All of the verses in the
xian bible referring to Satan and his Demons given certain mathematical applications, come out as 13.
Four was Satan's original number.

The Temple at Kom Ombo represents the second chakra and is dedicated to polarity/duality; the basis
of sexuality and two Gods are associated with it- Sobek, the Crocodile God and Horus. The Ancient
Egyptians would create experiences in these temples that would push initiates past their fears to
become strong and competent in experiencing the unknown.

There was a water hole full of crocodiles. The initiate, taking only one breath would dive under water not
knowing what to expect and the test was to emerge from the water in a different location from where
he/she went in. Initiates were unaware that the crocodiles were fully fed. They had to remain calm and in
control to navigate the water.

The sarcophagus in the King's chamber was used for the adepts as one of their final tests. The pyramids
were built precisely along powerful earth energy lines known as ley l ines and used by the Gods in their
ritual workings. Beneath the great pyramid are the Halls of Amenti, the womb of the Earth. The adept
would lie in the sarcophagus in the correct position so a powerful beam would hit the third eye chakra.
The adept would then begin a specific type of meditation and the experience would be so blissful, some
never returned. Part of the initiation was the conditioning of the student to remember to return to their
bodies after the experience.

The final initiation also was held in the King's chamber. This 4-5 minute ceremony took place in the
center of the room. An Ankh was drawn on the third eye of the initiate.

Satan created the Brotherhood of the Snake for humans to be able to advance to higher levels of
spirituality. The Gods were the teachers. Most are now the ones we know as the Demons. Some of the
Gods, such as Thoth and Isis escaped being labeled as Demons. Isis is really Astaroth, but not too
many know this. They helped and taught humanity.
