“Besides these, I have found five curiosities in Scotland, not much observed to be elsewhere: (i) the brownies, who in some families clean the houses as drudges clean the houses and dishes after all go to bed, taking with him his portion of food and removing before daybreak; (ii) the Mason Word which, though some make a mystery of it, I will not conceal a little of what I know - it’s like a rabbinical tradition in a way of comment on Jachin and Boaz, the two pillars erected in Solomon’s Temple, with an addition of some secret sign delivered by hand to hand by which they know and become familiar one with another; (iii) this second sight so largely treated of before; …”
From “The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies”, by Robert Kirk, 1690
“These siths (pronounced shee) or fairies they call the good people (it would seem, to prevent the dint of their ill attempts, for the Irish used to bless all they fear harm of), are said to be of a middle nature betwixt man and angel (as were daemons thought to be of old)…”
INTRODUCTION
“…Fairies exist alongside humans on the one hand, and God and his angels on the other, and that they inhabit a parallel universe which disconcertingly impinges and intermingles with men and women.”
“He goes on to discuss fairies’ eating habits, the services they perform for humans - mending shoes and sweeping house and other activities (which led to the naming of the younger branch of the Girl Guides, the "Brownies”…"
NOTES
47 Mason Word. A code word or other means by which one Freemason was held to recognize another. This phenomenon was often associated with Scottish Freemasonry and was thought to have orIginated in Scotland.
48 Jachin and Boaz, the two pillars erected in Solomon’s Temple. Freemasons claim the builders of King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem as members of a proto-Masonic society. Masonic symbolism often incorporates or refers to this origin. See also Kirk’s glossary.
62 Merlin-like. In some versions of the Arthurian Legend, Merlin was reported to have a mortal mother and a demonic father.

For my readers who have been bored to distraction by my research on fish records, and gambling, and such and such, today, we’re going on a field trip!
I’ve just read Robert Kirk’s “The Secret Commonwealth, of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies”, from 1690.
There’s so much to cover…
The first quote up at the top is key, about the “Mason Word”. It’s a some secret sign delivered by hand to hand by which they know and become familiar one with another;" It’s “A code word or other means by which one Freemason was held to recognize another.”
That includes secret handshakes, and “gestures of recognition”.

In the image immediately above, the Scottish Rite Freemason on the right is using a gesture of recognition that means that he wants to “rock on”, or “Hail, Satan!”, depending upon one’s perspective. I’m afraid that, given the historical context, we’re going to have to throw out “support for the Texas Lonhorns football team” or saying “I love you” in American Sign Language.
They’re using conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that go with complete honesty.
Now let’s move on to the “second sight" that Kirk refers to. It’s an old-school term for the psychic ability which generational Satanists have carefully husbanded down through the millenia, while studiously professing in public that it does not, in fact, exist.
They’re using conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty.
I don’t have time right now to dig into why the Girl Guides named their junior program “the Brownies”, after a lower order of drudge demon. But it does give you a flavor of the sort of people that we’re dealing with, here.
Of faeries, Kirk says “They remove to other lodgings at the beginning each quarter of the year, so traversing till doomsday, being impatient of staying in one place and finding some ease by sojourning and changing habitations. Their chameleon-like bodies swim in the air; near the Earth with bag and baggage. And at such revolution of time, seers or men of second sight (females being but seldom so qualified) have terrifying encounters with them, even on highways; who therefore usuall shun to travel abroad at these four seasons of the year and thereby have made it a custom to this day among the Scottish-Irish to keep church duly every first Sunday of the quarter, to sain or hallow themselves, their corns, and their cattle from the shots and stealth of these wandering tribes.”
He later says “With their weapons they also gon, or pierce cows or other animals, usually said to be elf-shot, whose purest substance (if they die) these suberraneans take to live on…”
(This is a photo from a story headlined “Cattle Mutilations Remain a Mystery”)
Same demonic Faerie shit, different century, I’m afraid.
We’ve now established the wholly-malevolent nature of the interdimensional creatures with whom the devious Scottish Rite Masons were and continue to be in cahoots.
You can see why they wanted to keep their “secret society” on the down-low.
Of faeries, Kirk says “The tabhaisder or seer that corresponds with this kind of familairs can bring them with a spell to appear to himself or others when he pleases as readily as Endor Witch did of her own kind. He tells they are ever readiest to go on hurtful errands, but seldom will the messengers be of great good.”
Endor witch, wait, what? I thought Endor was the home of the cuddly Ewoks?
Wikipedia: “Endor (Star Wars) - Endor (designated: IX3244-A) is a fictional moon in the Star Wars universe, known for its endless forests. Population: Over 30,000,000 Ewoks”.
Wikipedia: “The Witch of Endor (Hebrew: בַּעֲלַת־אֹוב בְּעֵין דּוֹר baʿălaṯ-ʾōḇ bəʿĒyn Dōr, “she who owns the ʾōḇ of Endor”) is a woman who, according to the Hebrew Bible, was consulted by Saul to summon the spirit of the prophet Samuel. The word אֹ֖וב ’ōḇ has been suggested by Harry Hoffner to refer to a ritual pit for summoning the dead from the netherworld, based on parallels in other Near Eastern and Mediterranean cultures.”
Biblearcheology.org: “The word ob/ov is a foreign loanword borrowed by the Jews from the Indo-European Hittites of Asia Minor, probably through the Philistines, who had contact with both the Hittites and the Jews. The word ob/ov is found in ancient Hittite texts, and it is now known from these same Hittite texts that it should be translated as a “ghost pit.” As will be seen, such ghost pits were frequently used in necromancy for summoning up the ghosts of the dead. Ancient texts indicate that the spirits supposedly coming up out of these ghost pits had voices that sounded like chirping birds. It should be noted that the ancient Egyptians pictured human spirits as birds with human heads.”
We’ve now learned that Wikipdia redacted “ghost pit” back to “ritual pit”, and “Hittite” back to “Indo European”.
I’ve long ago proved the wholly-Neanderthal nature of the Hebrews (same red hair, same pot graves, same human sacrifice and cannibalism, ad nauseum). This is simply more grist for the mill. What is particularly interesting is that George Lucas named the cuddly Ewok’s world after the Neanderthal witch with the ghost pit.
Before we move on…
We learned just previously that “the spirits supposedly coming up out of these ghost pits had voices that sounded like chirping birds.” While, of faeries, Kirk said “they speak but little and that by way of whistling - clear, not rough”.
It’s why the rapidly-collapsing social network is called “Twitter”.
Kirk goes on to say “These siths (pronounced shee) or fairies they call the good people (it would seem, to prevent the dint of their ill attempts, for the Irish used to bless all they fear harm of), are said to be of a middle nature betwixt man and angel (as were daemons thought to be of old)…”
Thus, Scottish Rite Masons secretly interacted with demons.
In the Star Wars franchise, “The Sith are an order of Force-sensitive beings who use the dark side of the Force. The first Sith character introduced in the Star Wars films is Darth Vader, who, we later learn, was trained in the dark side by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. The title “Darth” is an honorific for Sith Lords, and it usually precedes a symbolic new name.”
While George Lucas took great pains to avoid using the word “demon”, he’s pretty straight up about the Sith.
Kirk says “There is a vestige in the damnable practice of evil angels, their sucking of blood and spirits out of the witches’ bodies, (till they drain them into a deformed and dry leanness) to feed their own vehicles withal, leaving what we call the witches’ mark behind (a spot that I have seen as a small mole, horny and brown colored, through which mark, when a large brass pin was thrust - both in buttock, nose and roof of mouth - till it bowed and became crooked, the witches, both men and women, neither felt a pain nor did bleed, nor knew the precise time when this was a doing to them (their eyes only being covered).”
Here’s Mike Meyers, kidding, kidding about the witches mark:

On January 19, 2012, vice.com’s Liz Armstrong said "When Aleister Crowley was living in New York, doing various magickal experiments in a place on West 9th, he did what’s called the Amalantrah Working. It’s theorized this process created a deliberate channel in ephemeral cosmic influences so that extra-dimensional entities could enter our universe. In short, he likely created a portal for what we know as gray aliens to come visit us.
Eventually Crowley made contact with an entity known as Lam and drew its portrait, and damn if it doesn’t look like the pictures we see of Grays now. (Incidentally, “lam” is the mantra linked to the root chakra, which is associated with survival.) This was around 1917. While there are possibly ancient accounts of extra-terrestrial visitations in other parts of the world, this was one of the first-known Grays to have popped into Western consciousness, although Crowley didn’t explicitly say this."
Here’s the portrait:
(Lam)
Now here’s a picture of a “gray alien” using a purportedly-secret Masonic “gesture of recognition” from the 1977 movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” from :
(“gray alien” using a purportedly-secret Masonic “gesture of recognition” from the 1977 movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”:
Of faeries, Kirk says that they give “earnest ghastly staring looks”, and that they are “usually silent and sullen”.
issuu.com: "In 1918, the same year that Mathers died, Crowley conducted a sex magic ritual called the Almalantrah, with Roddie Minor, known as Soror Ahitha. The working created a portal in the spaces between stars, though which the entity Lam was able to enter the known physical universe. Since then, other entities are believed to enter through the widening portal, and to be the basis for numerous contact experience with UFO’s and extraterrestrials.
One of the revelations of the working was the symbol of the egg. Crowley and Soror Ahitha were told “it’s all in the egg”.
Crowley believed Lam to be the soul of a dead Tibetan Lama from Leng, between China and Tibet. Lam is Tibetan for “way” or “path”, which Crowley said had the numerical value of 71, or
“No Thing”, a gateway to the Void and a link between the star systems of Sirius and Andromeda."
We’ll get back to Sirus in a bit. For now, let’s chat about the oh-so-important egg.
In November 2021, Vanity Fair said “Lady Gaga Says She “Was in the Egg for Three Days” Before 2011 Grammys - The pop star explained that she didn’t want anything to throw off her performance.”
(Lady Gaga emerging from a Satanic green egg at the 2011 Grammy Awards)
It’s not like these people aren’t up-front about what they’re into.
At the back of Kirk’s “Secret Commonwealth”, the “further reading” section includes Hubert Butler, “The Eggman and the Fairies”, in The Sub-Prefect should have held his Tongue, and other essays, R.F. Foster, ed. (Penguin Press, 1990), pp. 102-112.
I’m sure that you’re way ahead of me, and have already thought of John Lennon’s purportedly-nonsensical “I am the eggman” lyric.
But lets get back to the “Gray Aliens”.What follows is an account of someone claiming to have interacted with a “gray alien”:
“You can’t really imagine what it’s going to be like. It’s an entirely different order of being than anything you’d normally encounter in your lifetime. It takes a while. Just the impact on your mind, if you’re not prepared**, can be very unsettling**. And the classic gray alien contact or experience is extreme terror. I can relate to that, in a way. It’s a very cold, mechanical kind of computer-like intelligence. It’s what we perceive as artificial because it’s not incarnated and it never was. So it doesn’t have empathy or doesn’t relate to that at all.”
Compare that with Kirk’s description: “He is not terrified with their sight when he calls them, but seeing them in surprise (as he often does) frights him extremely.”
Now we’re going to talk about Scotland’s Loch Ness!
"The Boleskine House (Scottish Gaelic: Taigh Both Fhleisginn) is a manor on the south-east side of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is notable for having been the home of author and occultist Aleister Crowley, and Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy Page.
(Page in front of the Boleskine house)
"Crowley, aged just 25, bought Boleskine in 1899 after looking for the right location to carry out a series of rituals from the Book of Abramelin. It was a text central to Crowley’s new religion Thelema, which he believed would help him make contact with his holy guardian angel.
He reportedly required “a house in a more or less secluded situation” with a door that opened to the north from where the oratory could be delivered. From there, Crowley planned to banish the demons once they had been summoned to a terrace, which would be covered in ‘fine river dust’.
It is said Crowley had to leave Boleskine on business before the full operation - which could take up to six months- was concluded, with the so-called demons left gathered at the loch-side home.
Of his experiments in the Highlands, Crowley - who styled himself Laird of Boleskine and Abertarf - wrote: “The demons and evil forces had congregated round me so thickly that they were shutting off the light. It was a comforting situation. There could be no more doubt of the efficiency of the operation,”
It is said those living in the area around Boleskine long avoided the estate where Crowley made his home and were terrified of the work of “the wickedest man in the world”, as he was often referred to by the press of the day.
With plenty of myth and superstition surrounding the property, it is said the consequences of Crowley’s time at Boleskine were long felt, with several personal tragedies associated with the house.
One employee of the estate attempted to kill his wife and children, it was claimed in Crowley’s diary. His lodge keeper, Hugh Gillie, suddenly lost his two children in sudden, unexplained circumstances."
That’s Mil-speak for “In Gillie’s case, Gillie and Crowley killed and ate Gillie’s children.”
"A housemaid is said to have gone mad with a local butcher cutting off his hand while dealing with Crowley’s order.
In 1960 the new owner of the property, Major Edward Grant, killed himself with a shotgun in the bedroom that had been used by Crowley for many of his satanic rituals."
Say what you will about hem, those Scottish Rite Masons certainly do know how to party.

The reason that the great Orm of Loch Ness is a forbidden subject is that the creature is interdimensional in nature.
In November 2020, someone wrote “Big Feet and the Interdimensional Hypothesis”.
It reads "Jon-Erik Beckjord was a San Francisco-based paranormal investigator and photographer known for his far-reaching ideas regarding such phenomena as UFOs, crop circles, the Loch Ness Monster, and his specialty, Bigfoot, which he believed to be an extradimensional ghost-like entity that lives in mountains, forests, and even farmers’ fields. Beckjord characterized his theories as being “no more bizarre than those of Einstein, Dr. Michio Kaku or Dr. Fred Alan Wolf,” and considered many of his ideas to be continuations or expansions upon Einstein’s work.
‘Beckjord believed that Bigfoot and similar cryptids may be “inter-dimensional” beings that can occasionally take physical form for brief periods of time, but that, like the famed Cheshire cat, can “fade out” and pass through “wormholes”, possibly to other dimensions or parallel universes. He reported having had one of the creatures speak to him using telepathy, communicating the words “We’re here, but we’re not real, like what you think is real”. Beckjord claimed that such entities may be able to actually disappear into thin air, or even shapeshift."
And, now, at last, we’re going to get back to Sirius.
Grahamhancock.com says "Few people know that during the Stone Age, dozens of temples were erected in the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo, all in the same style and largely according to the same unique ground plan.
(Megalithic Neanderthal temple, Malta)
“The Maltese temples present another question. Despite the fact that they were all built according to the same typical clover-leaf ground plan, and that their natural decorations and figurative art appear to derive from a single, homogenous culture, why are no two of them oriented towards the same direction?”

(Some Neanderthal sites. Note concentration in the Basque area. From [12] )
The Basques are well-known to have distinctive body characteristics. Kurlansky says “Ample evidence exists that the Basques are a physically distinct group. There is a Basque type with a long straight nose, thick eyebrows, strong chin, and long earlobes” [1].
Basque skulls tend to be built on a different pattern. In the early 1880s, a researcher reported “Someone gave me a Basque body and I dissected it, and I assert that the head was not built like that of other men” [1].
These qualitative differences are indicative, but quantitative evidence, with presence or absence of features, or items being present in different numbers, has greater weight in deciding whether specimens belong to the same or different species. Powerful quantitative evidence comes from a consideration of blood factors.
Human blood is classified according to various parameters, the most important of which are ABO and Rhesus characteristics. In ABO, blood may contain the ‘A’ factor (giving A-group blood), the ‘B’ factor (B-group), both ‘A’ and ‘B’ (AB blood), or neither (O blood). The A and B factors act as antigens, and if blood containing one or both of them is transferred to a person whose blood does not already contain them, and therefore has the corresponding antibody, adverse reactions occur. Group O blood contains neither antigen but has both antibodies, and can typically be transferred without reaction to any recipient.
Some 55% of Basques have Group O blood, one of the highest percentages in the world [3].
Even stronger evidence comes from the Rhesus factor, discovered only in 1940. The blood of most humans (and, apparently, all other primates [6]) contains this factor, and is called Rhesus-positive or Rh+ blood. Blood lacking this factor is called Rhesus-negative.
The Basques are well-known to have the highest percentage (around 33%) of Rhesus-negative blood of any human population [2], and so are regarded as the original source of this factor. In the United States, some 15% of the ‘European’ population are Rh-negative, while the percentage in the ‘Asian’ and ‘Black’ population is much less than this.
Possession of Rh-negative blood can be a major disadvantage for a human population. A Rh-negative woman who conceives a Rh-positive child with a Rh-positive man will typically bear her first child without special problems. However, because of intermingling of fluids between mother and foetus, the first pregnancy builds up antibodies to Rh+ blood in the woman which typically attack the blood of her subsequent Rh+ children, causing them to miscarry, be stillborn, or die shortly after birth (infant haemolytic disease [6]). This phenomenon is unknown elsewhere in nature, although it can occur with artificial crosses between species, as in mule production [6].
The scenario so far then is this. Around 600,000 years ago, in southern Europe, a species of man separated off from the ancestral line, and we call this species Homo neanderthalensis, the ‘N-people’. The blood of this species contained none of the factors A, B, or Rh.”
Note how the author won’t clearly state "Homo neanderthalensis was Rh negative”.
The article continues: “Much later, possibly around 200,000 years ago in Africa, the main human line had picked up the A, B, and Rh factors (possibly from other primates, the Rhesus factor is named after the Rhesus monkey or macaque), and by then could be classed as Homo sapiens, the ‘S-people’.
In competition between related species or races, antibodies in their blood are a powerful genetic advantage for those who possess them when competing against those who don’t. History has many examples of European settlers who quite unintentionally won out against native populations because the latter had no antibodies against diseases such as measles which the Europeans brought with them.
In the present scenario, a woman of the N-people (Basque, Rh-) who partnered with a man of the S-people (non-Basque, Rh+) would be likely to bear no more than a single child of the partnership. ‘Mixed marriages’ in humans are not usually genetically disadvantageous, but in this case they would be. The effect would be a continuing reduction in the N-people population as ‘mixed’ couples produced only a single child, half the nominal population-maintenance rate.”
This is a canard. Homo Sapiens men were never allowed to procreate with Neanderthal women. Rather, the Neanderthal used its superior strength and intelligence to conquer ever last nation on Earth, killing (and eating) all the men, and taking all the women.
The article continues: “There are other physical characteristics of humans which are typically associated with Rh-negative blood, but which in the present scenario would be regarded as belonging to the N-people. These include early maturity, large head and eyes, high IQ [6], or an extra vertebra (a ‘tail bone’ – called a ‘cauda’), lower than normal body temperature, lower than normal blood pressure, and higher mental analytical abilities [5].”
What’s cunningly omitted here is "psychic ability”.
The article continues: “Another highly distinguishing feature of the Basques is their language, which is related to no other on earth. According to [3], its ancestor was “spoken in western Europe before (possibly long before) the ancestors of all other modern western European languages”. This source states that the most strenuous efforts at finding other relatives for Basque have been complete failures.
People have unsuccessfully tried to connect Basque with Berber, Egyptian and other African languages, with Iberian, Pictish, Etruscan, Minoan, Sumerian, the Finno-Ugric languages, the Caucasian languages, the Semitic languages, with almost all the languages of Africa and Asia, living and dead, and even with languages of the Pacific and of North America. Basque absolutely cannot be shown to be related to any other language at all [3].
The structure of the Basque language is also very distinctive, it is said to contain only nouns, verbs, and suffixes. The language strongly defines the Basque people [8]. In the Basque Language, called Euskera, there is no word for Basque. The only word defining a member of the group is Euskaldun, or Euskera speaker. The land is called Euskal Herria – the land of Euskera speakers.
In the present scenario, Basque is the descendant of a spoken language originated by the N-people, independently of (and possibly at a much earlier time than) the languages of the S-people.
In an interesting study, Philip Lieberman [7] has looked at the mouth cavities and other presumed speech production features of Neanderthal fossils. According to his evaluation, Neanderthal people would have had difficulty in pronouncing the vowel ‘ee’. This vowel is missing from normal Basque pronunciation [9].
If the present scenario is valid, then the Basques, mostly stemming from the N-people, would of course be somewhat distinct genetically. In [3] the question is asked, “Are the Basques genetically different from other Europeans?” , with the answer, “Apparently, yes. Recently the geneticist Luiga Luca Cavalli-Sforza has completed a gene map of the peoples of Europe, and he finds the Basques to be strikingly different from their neighbours. The genetic boundary between Basques and non-Basques is very sharp on the Spanish side. On the French side, the boundary is more diffuse: it shades off gradually toward the Garonne in the north. These findings are entirely in agreement with what we know of the history of the Basque language”.
The social relationships of the Basques with the rest of the world have been quite unusual for a distinctive human group. While always protecting their unique and separate identity, they have also always striven to interact, cooperate with, and sometimes lead the rest of the world.
Kurlansky points out the remarkable contributions the Basques have made to world history [1]. They were the explorers who connected Europe to the other continents in the Age of Exploration, in trade they were among the first capitalists, experimenting with tariff-free international trade and monopoly breaking, and in the industrial revolution they became leading shipbuilders, steelmakers, and manufacturers.
At the same time, the Basques have always been regarded as ‘different’, and so inevitably subjected to discriminatory treatment and (sometimes savage) persecution, as in the Franco years [3]. In my book ‘Matrix Thinking’ [4] I have examined the underlying forces driving interactions between human groups, using the term SIOS, and the way groups recognize and act on differences between those inside and outside their own group.
Genetic differences are one of the most powerful recognition signals in this process, and so it cannot be unexpected that the Basques have suffered in this way. Nowadays such events are regarded in a very negative light, as pointlessly discriminatory. In the Basque case there is some rare justification for this – a non-Basque man pairing with a Basque women might have expected to have only one child of the marriage, before recent medical procedures got round the Rhesus-negative problem.
Language differences are also very powerful SIOS recognition signals, and it is interesting to look at the Basque case. The Basque language, while retaining its own distinct structure, has heavily borrowed words from other languages. Other languages have borrowed very few words from Basque, regarded as an ‘inferior’ language, and those that have come over often have had an uncomplimentary sense. As an example, Spanish has borrowed ‘izquierdo’ (meaning left, as in left-handed) from Basque, and words meaning ‘left’ often have a negative connotation (in English, ‘gauche’ and ‘sinister’ are from the French and Latin for ‘left’).
It has been suggested [5] that the Basques were the original inhabitants of Europe, and the architects of Stonehenge and similar megalithic structures. These constructions apparently used a unique system of measurement based on the number 7 (instead of 10, 12, or 60), representing a separate origin of a mathematical system.
To round out the present scenario, it is suggested that the present world population is a complex hybrid mixture of at least two human species, one classed as Homo neanderthalensis, the other (or others – if the A and B blood factors originated from separate species) as Homo sapiens. The genes from these species are now so intermixed (as in cultivated roses) as to make the species name indeterminate.
Further genetic analysis, concentrating on the Basques, may reveal more on this. Research should cover both nuclear DNA, controlling sexually-inherited traits such as blood groups, and mitochondrial DNA, passed on unchanged from mother to child. For reasons given above, the N-people mitochondrial DNA may have now been bred out completely from modern world populations.
Perhaps the Human Genome project needs extension to cover the possible mix of origins. It would also be of interest to check whether any known Neanderthal skeletons had an extra vertebra.
There is an extensive website covering recorded Neanderthal fossils [10], and the information there generally supports the suggestion that the species have merged, with later N-people more similar to the S-people than older specimens.”
