Masonic Celestial Mysteries.

Frize is Friga the Saxon goddess the same as the Eoman Venus under another name Prig is Faster —Easter a goddess of the Saxons in honour of whom sacrifices were offered about that time of

the year . The cross and circle of Venus the goddess of love have been explained in paper 3—the same type will serve for Friga—Frize doez is Friday . The French vendredi is from dies veneris Latin and vendredi saint is Good Friday—venery

among other meanings is the art of hunting , and Die-anna , or Diana claims to be the identical star as that of Venus or Fris-a of Easter . The Easter

sacrifices of the passover cakes and lamb of the JBAVS , and the cross bun of the Christians , need no further explanation * Considering the fearful sacrifice which is recorded to have taken place on Frigas' day , the calling it Good Friday seems a

misnomer , but it is evidently meant to imply that the sacrifice was for the good of the world . Masons are not aAvare that in the heavens , countries and people are represented , consequently Friga must be identified with Saxon . " Saxons so called as

some say from their crooked SAVords , Baileys die . There is only one crooked or bent sword in the heavens , it is that of the Tyler , and the full blade of that sword , the Masonic laws place with Friga on Good Friday , or to be minutely correct it is

placed Avithin one degree of the Goddess . This requires explanation . The Jews Avere commanded by the laAv of Moses to calculate their year by lunar time , and as Masons Avere builders from Friga , they of course Avere governed from time , regulated

by fixed stars . The fixed stars require 365 solar days for the circle , Avhereas tlie lunar year is of 13 months , each month of-1 Aveeks of 28 days , in all 364 . Thus Friga Masons did not agree with

the solar circle of 360 ° AIOV with the lunar year ot 364 days—in fact Friga Masons had one day de irop . The Friga Masons to remedy this inconvenience were compelled to move Frigas ' ' day one day forward , that is they were obliged to place

Friga or Easter or Good Friday on the Saturday of the jews and the Christian Saturday on the Jews Sabbath ; and thus the Jews moon day became , or was made , Easter sun-day , Psalm 118 , 22 , but in reality still there remained on the

circle the day de trop . The correct termination of the year is at mid-night on the 31 st December , and in the heavens that ought to be the winter solstice . One fourth the circle or ninety degrees

or days from the 31 st Dec . would then be the Easter equinox and there would be the fixed star Friga , then his solar majesty appeared in Aprilis txaiveni , vidi , vici . The first day of the month

our learned brethren termed a dies non , it was a day not counted and was given to folly , and is even now called April fool ' s day , and as on the 1 st of April the sun is in Pisces the French call the daypoisson d ' avril . The one day struck out Friga's time corresponded Avith Herber time , and also that of Judah * But modern Masons will

perhaps say Avhat has all this to do with us Masons , who claim to be descendants from the builders of Solomon ' s Temple ? In reply it may be first asked whether Masons can shew their pedigree ? Certainly not ! for the utmost modern

Craft Masonry can claim of antiquity , does not exceed a couple of hundred years . That they are nevertheless the representatives of the builders of Solomon ' s Temple shall be proved beyond a possibility of doubt , and yet they are not

representatives of chippers of stone and spreaders of mortar . The Egyptian name of the sign Aries is Omon or Anion , and at the eastern equinox the sun Sol enters Onion and combined they give Solomon or the sun in Aries . The eternal kalendar recorded

by the Egyptian monuments gives the first degree of Aries to Friga , and Friga Masons or Freemasons were the builders of the temple of the year in heavenly precious stones . All ancient statuaries or Friga Masons Avorked with their

hands . Celestial or Friga Masons had no such mean employment as that of carrying stones and mixing mortar . Their temple the most glorious mental erection to the Grand Architect of the Universe , with its furniture and decorations , Avere

all " built of stones made ready before they Avere brought thither . " See Eev . 21 , 10 v . Moses Avas learned in all the Avisdom of the Egyptians , and he tells us that in the land of Shinar the children of men had bricks for stone

and slime for mortar , and that the children Avith these strange materials attempted to build a tower Avhose top might reach heaven . As might be expected it Avas a complete failure . Moses also tells that in Egypt they had to make bricks

Avithout straw , and this is celestially true to the very letter—the bricks apply to the winter solstice , Misriam . 1 So Miv ; ons or Masons Avere originally builders in brick , for of such material Avas the toAver of Babel , and that is the first building on
