"The significance of this 'coincidence' is amplified by the the natural geometry of the Number 13, which is fundamentally hexagonal -- sixfold -- since is is the first non-trivial Star Number. There are many deep ramifications of the relation between the numbers six and thirteen." -- The Bible Wheel

It's interesting to note that the number '13', which in the occult is said to be the number of rebellion and death, and therefore, of the Devil, also seems to be tied in with the hexagram, as the image to the here attests. Thirteen is the traditional number of people in a witch coven, and it's also the number of the Death card in the Tarot Deck designed by A.E. Waite, an infamous Freemason, in 1910. Superstitiosly known as an unlucky number, 13's ill-repute goes back to the Papal crackdown on the Knight's Templar on October 13th, thus giving the number a Masonic association as well, since the Templars were the precursors or intellectual ancestors of Freemasonry. According to Madonna, year 13 is the year when the human soul is formed into an adult, according to the Kabbalah, and so the Jewish ritual of bar mitzvah is celebrated at 13-years of age. This form of the hexagram, as a cluster of 13, also appears on the U.S. one dollar bill.

Kabbalists say 13 is man's ability to go beyond the Zodiac, to ascend above the stars of heaven, which may help expalain why, in the Library of Congress, it's inscribed: "Too low they build who build beneath the stars" and "The True Shekinah Is Man."

In card 13 of the Waite Tarot deck, which was designed by Freemason and Qabbalist A.E. Waite, the death rider bears the banner of the "mystic rose", according to Waite, which is not only associated with Kabbalistic Rosicruciansim but also with the Bohemian Protestant rebellion against the Catholic Church, since Martin Luther, leader of the revolt, used the rosy-cross sigal on his signet ring, and Lutheranism still uses the logo to this day. Here portrayed is the occult view that from death comes life. The Pope begs for his life; this is indicative of the intended demise of Catholicism and the death of the old order to bring about the New World Order. The same principle is expressed in the Skull and Bones Masonic-Kabbalistic ideograph of flowers blooming from the skull's cranium.

Note how, in the background, the sun rises from the middle of twin pillars. In Kabbalistic numerology, the number of the sun is 666, which Christians take to be the number of the Beast, or anti-Christ, as depicted in the Revelation of Saint John, but in the Qabalistic or Masonic meaning, it arguably signifies the Talmudic messiah of Israel, the long-awaited Moshiach, who will rule the world with a rod of iron, which would be the obvious Rabbinic interpretation of Psalm 2. "The Messiah will give to the Hebrews rulership over the world, and to them all peoples will be subject". (Talmud Bab. Shabb folio 120 & Sanhedrin folio 88 & 89, according to secondary source Robert K. Dahl, "Conspiracy Theory? Behind the Scenes of the New World Order", The Remnant newspaper, March 15, 2010.)

This tarot XIII card was recently brought to the awareness of the mass mind during the sniper shooting spree in the D.C. Betlway, when the killers left it as a calling card at one of the murder sites. Some argue, e.g., David Bayof Cutting Edge Ministry, that it was the calling card of the Illuminati.

In any case, whoever or whatever might have been behind the DC sniper spree, it did seem odd how the message that the killers left for the police expressed the philosophy of the Kabbalah, which holds that the true Shekinah is man, and we will leave it to another time to debate what the Talmudic Kabbalists mean when they use the word 'man'. Let it suffice to say here that, according to Theodore Winston Pike, Kabbalists consider Gentiles to be subhuman demonic shells. Whether that is so can be contested elsewhere.

"The official motto of the OTO was — and still is — Deus est Homo — 'God is Man.'", according to Craig Heimbichner, (The O.T.O., says Heimbichner, represents the highest, and therefore the lowest, form of Freemasonry -- a grad school of Solomonic magic and mystagogy.)

"Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred and sixty-six." Apocalypse, 13:18, DRV Catholic Bible
