THE DOUBLE TRIANGLE OF SOLOMON

---

"The Square and compass of Freemasonry is an incomplete hexagram, symbolizing that the Freemason is an incomplete Jew, and the servant of kabbalistic rabbinic masters to whom they are ritually tied to obey", according to Craig Heimbichner, author of "Blood On The Altar". The hexagram goes by various names but is often refered to as the "Seal of Solomon" because its use in magic can be supposedly be traced back to Solomon of Biblical fame, who fell into pagan worship, according to the Bible. This is also accepted as true in the occult world, where magic books allegedly written by Solomon are highly revered.

[Pictured here, the Love Talisman of Solomon scaned from "The Dark Arts" by Richard Cavendish, page 126; "the number six is represented in the Qabalah by two trianges which form the seal of Solomon when they are brought together and given a common center." (Levi, "The Mysteries of the Qabalah")

"For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammorites.

And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father.

Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the ab- omination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Moloch, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods." -- I Kings 11:4-8 KJV

"Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye make to worship them; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon." Acts 7:43 KJV

"But ye have borne the tabernacleof your Moloch and Chiun your images,the star of your god..." -- Amos 5:26 KJV

As used today by black magicians, the Seal of Solomon is thought to be among the most powerful of occult talismans or symbols.

Whether in fact Solomon wrote the occult texts attributed to him or used the hexagram as his seal remains dubious, but it's beyond dispute that magicians do use the hexagram in black majick rituals and have done so for a very long time. For example, in 1564, John Dee, the court astrologist of Queen Elizabeth I, claimed that the hexagram is a "geometrical synthesis of the whole occult doctrine."

It's interesting to note that the number '666' only occurs several times in the Bible, and two times the number is in a passage associated with a man; namely, Solomon:

1 King 10:14 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents, (NIV)

2 Chr 9:13 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents, (NIV)

Ezra 2:13 of Adonikam 666 (NIV)

Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666. (NIV)
