CABALISTIC AMULET?
Is Gail Riplinger doing witchcraft (casting spells) with the myriad of occult symbols in her Rosicrucian masterpiece?
The title page of Gail’s “KJV’s ABCs” consists of a double triangle configuration composed of the letters of the alphabet. This design bears an uneasy resemblance to ancient alchemy symbols consisting of letters arranged in triangular formations and used as Cabalistic charms.

Abracadabra: “This is a Cabalistic charm with origins from Hebrew initials of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is an ancient alchemy symbol used for an antidote for illness and used to augment healing. This phrase was written on parchment and suspended from then neck by a thread in the triangular form seen here.”
Avada Kedavra (uh-VAH-duh kuh-DAH-vruh) “Killing Curse”
Aramaic: “adhadda
kedhabhra”
- “let
the thing be destroyed”.
“Avada Kedavra, also known as the Killing Curse, kills a person instantaneously and without injury. There is no countercurse for it, and only two people, Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, have ever survived it.” |

The page to the right is from Johanna Drucker’s book, The Alphabetic Labyrinth: The Letters in History and Imagination. Note the triangular amulet which is used to cast spells. The author explains that the amulet consists of two pyramids, one of which is inverted in a magical arrangement, like the title page of Gail Riplinger’s KJV’s ABCs. “This spell is the double figure of two pyramids of vowels, side by side. the first is structured with a single ‘A’ at the top, followed by two ‘E's’ and so forth until the final row of seven long ‘O’s.’ The second pyramid inverts this order, placing the ‘O’s’ at the top and diminishing to the point of the ‘A.’ This sequence would in turn be incorporated into the actual prayer to invoke the aid of the demon helpmate.” To read the full page, click on this thumbnail.

PYRAMIDS, SQUARE & COMPASS...
What’s this??? Mount Hermon/Sion or the Giza Pyramids? A Compass and a Square, or rather a Cube, next to an Obelisk.

Gail writes that man achieves great art, literature, poetry, music, art, and architecture when his soul is in harmony with God. In the next paragraph (click on photocopy to enlarge) she says in so many words that, unlike the artists, architects, musicians and literary minds of the 1600s, the modern artists are Luciferian followers of Blavatsky.
“Compare a building designed by Inigo Jones (A.D. 1573-1652), the architect of King James I of England with today’s ‘award winning’ architecture. Compare a painting done in the 1600s with a product of the Modern Art movement. (HPB: The Extraordinary Life and Influence of Helena Blavatsky documents that the artists of the modern movement were Luciferians and followers of occultist H. P. Blavatsky.)
As if the New Age Movement started with Madame Blavatsky and the famous artists and architects in the 1600s were not occultists! In fact, many of the great minds of the English Renaissance were Luciferians who used Cabala, alchemy, and “sacred geometry” to harmonize with the “Great Architect of the Universe.” In her expose of the Occult Theocrasy, Lady Queensborough wrote of Inigo Jones’ Rosicrucian affiliations:
“Nick Stone was one of the Seven of the Convention of Magdebourg. As an architect, belonging to the guild of the Freemasons, he had helped Inigo Jones, the grand-master of the English Lodges which, at this period, were nonsectarian. On the other hand, as a Rosicrucian he had grasped, in the Luciferian sense, the idea given by Faustus Socinius, and he had composed, for the nine grades of the fraternity, rituals which the chiefs declared remarkable. His ritual of the eighth degree (Magister Templi) was really Satanic.” (Occult Theocrasy, p. 155)
The 17th century Rosicrucian Enlightenment also produced literary works by many Rosicrucians who endeavored to mainstream knowledge gained by occult methods (gnosis) as legitimate arts and sciences. Among these were the Rosicrucian Manifestos and Sir Francis Bacon’s The Proficience and Advancement of Learning:
“The Advancement of Learning, published in 1605, is a sober survey of the present state of knowledge, drawing attention to those areas of learning which are deficient, where more might be known if men would give their minds to research and experiment, particularly in natural philosophy, which Bacon finds deplorably deficient...
“‘Surely as nature createth brotherhood in families, and arts mechanical contract brotherhoods in communities, and the anointment of God superintendeth a brotherhood in kings and bishops, so in learning there cannot but be a fraternity in learning, relating to that paternity which is attributed to God, who is called the father of illumination or lights.’
“In reading this passage, after our exploration of this book, one is struck by the fact that Bacon here thinks of learning as ‘illumination’, light descending from the Father of Lights, and that the brotherhood of learning which he desires would be a ‘fraternity in learning and illumination’. These expressions should not be passed over as pious rhetoric; they are significant in the context of the times.
“Nine years later, in Germany, the Rosicrucian Fama was to present the Brothers R.C. as a fraternity of illuminati, as a band of learned men joined together in brotherly love; it was to urge that learned magicians and Cabalists should communicate their knowledge to one another; and it was to proclaim that the time was at hand of a great advance in knowledge of nature...
“Recent scholarship has made it abundantly clear that the old view of Bacon as a modern scientific observer and experimentalist emerging out a superstitious past is no longer valid. In his book on Bacon, Paolo Rossi has shown that it was out of the Hermetic tradition that Bacon emerged, out of the Magia and Cabala of the Renaissance as it had reached him via the natural magicians. Bacon’s view of the future of science was not that of progress in a straight line. His ‘great instauration’ of science was directed towards a return to the state of Adam before the Fall, as state of pure and sinless contact with nature and knowledge of her powers. This was the view of scientific progress...held by Cornelius Agrippa, the author of the influential Renaissance textbook on occult philosophy. And Bacon's science is still, in part, occult science. Amongest the subjecst he reviews in his survey of learning are natural magic, astrology, of which he seeks a reformed version, alchemy, by which he was profoundly influenced, fascination, the tool of the magician, and other themes which those interested in drawing out the modern side of Bacon have set aside as unimportant.” (Frances Yates, The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, pp. 119-120)
