Freemasonry (part 27)
Continuation of Masonic symbols inspired by animals
In the previous two sections, we examined those symbols that were designed and presented based on the characteristics and attributes of animals. Now, in continuation of the same discussion, we will evaluate and examine some of those symbols and indications.
The “Red Cow” slogan
Although the cow in ancient civilizations was a symbol of strength, ability, fertility, and usefulness, in Masonic thought it refers to the nearness of the time of the appearance of the “promised Jewish king.” For this reason, this symbol is used as the slogan of many major global Jewish companies, especially in the dairy industry and its products. [1]
The “Fish” slogan
This symbol was first used by early Christians as a secret sign through which they could recognize one another, especially among the apostles and their followers, without being exposed to persecution, harm, and torture by Roman pagans, before Christianity was accepted as the official religion of the Roman Empire.
But in Masonic thought, this slogan is a symbol of the use of absolute violence against non-Masons throughout the world. [2]
The “Beetle” (Scarabaeus) slogan
Although the beetle (or scarab) among the ancient Egyptians was considered a symbol of life and vitality, in Masonic ideology it is regarded as one of the symbols of Satan and is often used in the form of a ring worn on the right hand. [3]
The “Young, Playful, Deviant Rabbit” slogan
Although the wild rabbit in ancient civilizations symbolized reproduction, natural fertility of Mother Earth, rebirth, the return of youth, resurrection, increase of offspring, and sexual desire, this symbol in contemporary Masonry is considered one of the most dangerous lustful and permissive signs.
This slogan symbolizes complete and public sexual permissiveness in all its forms and behaviors, without any punishment or religious deterrent. To promote this, even special obscene magazines such as Playboy were dedicated to it, founded by Hugh Hefner, whose first issue was published in 1953 in the United States. [4]
Conclusion of this discussion
From the collection of the above material, the following conclusions can be drawn regarding animal symbols in Masonic thought:
The three-headed snake slogan: a symbol of declaring war against religious, civil, and military powers, with the aim of destroying them and leaving a world without any religion except the Jewish-Masonic religion.
The snake devouring its own tail slogan: a symbol of domination and control over the inhabitants of the earth.
The lion and eagle slogans: symbols of power, violence, dominance, courage, and readiness to crush any obstacle in their path, as well as the widespread influence of global Masonry in all human societies.
The yellow butterfly slogan: a symbol of control over human minds through global media.
The owl slogan: a symbolic description of the Masons themselves as the sole possessors of wisdom and knowledge on this planet.
The red cow slogan: a symbol of the nearness of the appearance of the Jewish king.
The fish slogan: a symbol of the use of absolute violence against non-Masons.
The beetle slogan: one of the symbols of Satan, often used in the form of a ring worn on the right hand.
The rabbit slogan: a symbol of sexual permissiveness and the public practice of its behaviors without any punishment. [5]
