Stonehenge Spiritualism And Masonry.

STONEHENGE SPIRITUALISM AND MASONRY .

THE following letter , which appeared in a recent number of " Light" will no doubt interest many of our readers : — SIB , —In your issue of 24 th October last , under the heading of ' Important Archaeological Discoveries , ' I stated the different discoveries that I had made in connection with the celestomundane construction of ' England ' s greatest archseologieal gem , ' viz ., Stonehenge Druidic Temple , in

which I made the startling statement that it was ( when pointed out to the occult student ) a veritable prototype of a Masonic ( Scottish constitution ) Royal Arch Jewel , which shows , hieroglyphically , the seven northern signs of the Zodiac , and the solar orb at ' high noon' on 21 st June , throwing its life-giving rays upon the ' Volume of the Sacred Law' ( Old Testament ) .

Since the publication of my letter I have been , in a desultory way , constantly trying to obtain more scientific data , and on 10 th November I made another special journey there . Before doing so I purchased a good and reliable compass for scientific purposes , with the object of substantiating , or disproving , certain statements in regard to the positions of prominent stones , forming a component part of the Temple . I had the assistance of a man and a boy in taking accurate measurements with my tape line , & c , which I also took .

The result of my labour has been profoundly prolific , and , owing to the data and . critical observations that I made during the two hours I was there , viz ., from 11 . 50 a . m . to 1 . 45 p . m ., two days after my return , that is , on 12 th November , when arranging ( or trying to ) the positions of the two outer circles , and two inner ovals , including what is known as the five pair of trilothoi ( three stones strangely grouped together , emblematical oi the ancient trinity , besides their corresponding to signs of the northern Zodiac , as stated in my

last letter ) ; in brief , what has puzzled all our antiquaries , archseologists , and other savants , for ages past , your humble servant and ' psychical researcher' professes to be able to scientifically and practically explain and objectively illustrate . As I first said , it was on 12 th November , two days after my last special visit to the ' Ancient Royal Arch Temple , ' that I discovered the mathematical solution of this unique and antiquated British Druidic ruin .

I can ( in fact I have already designed it , and illuminated the plan ) now draw out the foundation of the original Temple ( a solar clock , or timepiece , hence Temple— tempus , Time ) , and mathematically fix the exact position of every one of the 117 stones of the celestial-mundane clock . This is easily comprehended when I tell you—and all other occult students interested in my researches—that the ancient Druidic priests and architects were fully

acquainted with the thirty-two points of the compass ; the true circle of 360 degrees ; an angle of ninety degrees ( 90 deg . ) , or a fourth parfc of a circle ; the Apsis , Masonio ' High Noon , ' i . e ., the line of meridan at mid-day , due south ; the Solstices and equinoxes ; and in fact knew absolutely every astronomical fact worth knowing in connection with celestial and mundane Free Masonry and geometery—or the analysis and dissection of the heavens , our earth , & c .

What has this to do with Spiritualism ? You and many more of your readers will by this time probably think . This much , that , but for my persistent researches ' into the hidden mysteries of nature and science ' ( including the science of spirit intercourse—for it is to mo based on fixed , though subtle laws ) I should never have discovered the profound truth of post-mortem existence , as well as the mathematical solution of Stonehenge and St # Paul ' s Cathedral , & c .

From working out my plans—bearing on what I am pleased to term Ancient Free or Celestial ( i . e ., unrestricted—the heavens are limitless ) Masonry , I have discovered ( a ) the true or celestial origin of the single and double triangle ; ( i ) the pentagon ; ( c ) the Archimedean screw ; ( d ) the Gothic , Norman , and Moorish or Sarasenic ecclesiastical Arch ; ( e ) a simple way of working plane or solid geometery ; (/) a reasonable proof that the Great Architect of the Universe works or operates by fixed and immutable principles , geometry being the basis of His mighty works ; and many other interesting occult facts in geometry , astronomy , & c .

Surely , these several subjects are of sufficient importance to induce your readers to ask : ' How is it possible you could find out these things ? ' I answer , ' by exercising the knowledge and cerebral or intellectual faculties " the Great Architect" has blessed me with . ' On 22 nd November I made a special visit to London , and metaphorically killed several birds ( business matters , mundane and spiritual ) with one stone .

Stonehenge Spiritualism And Masonry.

Whilst there I called on Mr . Z ., the ' shadow' photographer ( where I got the spirit forms of my father-in-law and his daughter , fully reported in ' Light , ' 14 th December 1895 , and 22 nd February 1896 ) , and during my stay , whilst in a desultory conversation , he seemed to get under control . I importuned him to try and find out if there were any spirits who wished to send me a message , because I felt impressed that I had been drawn or influenced to go to Mr . Z . In brief , he described a very ancient patriarchal

form of a spirit , who stated that it was he that had been influencing ( impressing ) me with facts , & c , relating to Stonehenge ; that he was an ancient Druid , and lived on earth 1 , 020 years ago ; that I was one out of seven mundane human instruments who were psychologically and spiritually prepared to receive and impart certain hitherto obscured scientific and religious subjects , which had got buried owing to Christian priests persecuting

rival hierarchies 1 On 23 rd November I paid a special visit to St . Paul ' s Cathedral ( another celestial Temple ) , and whilst there , seeking for ' more light , ' I discovered that this Temple , or ' House of God , ' is absolutely laid out on the same mathematical lines as Stonehenge Temple , and both are Exoteric Royal Arch—or celestial Temples 1 In due time I hope to appear before an audience in camera , and then , as an hierophant , illustrate and explain many of the ancient scientific mysteries .

BERKS T . HUTCHINSON , D . D . S ., L . D . S . Langholm , 28 The Avenue , Southampton . P . S . —Since the above was written I have made a number of other important discoveries in connection with astro-Masonic geometrical signs and symbols , embracing Graft , Royal Arch , and Trinitarian Freemasonry , of profound import . For fear of being misunderstood by those who are " in the Dark Corner , " I will at present say no more . —B . T . H .

The oft-repeated question , How should a mason wear his apron ? and others of like character , count for nought in our estimation , says the " Masonic Record , " when compared with the questions : " Has the surviving family of our deceased Brother a sufficiency of food in the house ? " " Are they

supplied with coal enough to keep them comfortable ? " " Are their clothes warm enough to keep off the cold ? " " Has Bro . a situation whereby he can earn enough to support his family ? " & c . Make it practical , Brethren , in each act of your every day life . Should you chance to learn of the surviving relatives of a Brother Mason requiring assistance , do not wait

until the family make request to the Lodge for aid , but hustle yourself aud see to it that their immediate wants are supplied . Do not permit a Brother Mason to be . out of employment a single day if through your endeavours he can be put to work . Do not practice saying what you will do , but do it—do it quickly and effectually . —" Masonry . "
