As far as the abbreviation, between EGC and and EGCH i took this to mean connected groups shown below:- https://www.allacronyms.com/ecclesia_gnostica_catholica_hermetica/abbreviated If wrong i'm sorry, however, it seems that because of the controvesy the EGCH doesn't exist any more. It is only the ECG that mention Baphomet in Gnostic Creed.

Hi Cobie, Xeper was used by Michael Aquino, there may be other meanings, however he has gone to a much warmer climate LOL! https://xeper.org/maquino/

Hi Nungali, I never said these were the same group, i said there was a special bond between the two, you have failed to read the initial report from the Johannes church under alleged cover up of of pedophilia, I feel the Patriarch Shaun McCann of the Johannes Church acted in the right manner in distancing himself from Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, however there was a "special bond" that James Foster set up between the two called Ecclesia Johannes III in 2002.. Unfortunately The present Patriarch of the Johannite Church was consecrated by the convicted bishop Reginald Freeman. What Shaun McCann has failed to do, is Reconstitute a New Johannes Church bringing in a new founder, and striking off James Foster, whose old boss was heavily suspected of child crimes in numerous circumstances. There were numerous times where at summer mystery schools the two groups mixed that included families, so Shaun McCann acted quickly.. Until the Johannes church pick a new founder they will get controversy. https://www.johannite.org/response-to-attacks-on-the-apostolic-johannite-church/

Hi Nungali. I was citing the common bond With the Catholic Ecclesia Gnostica and the GnosticJohannite Church that both signed, nothing more or less. Signatories Bishop +Anthony Angelo Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica Hermetica Bishop Dr. +William Behun Apostolic Johannite Church I'm far more interested in the most reverent James Foster who founded the Johannite church, and was a high up adept of the Temple of Set, which is hardly a recommendation for the Johannite Church, considering the history of his boss in the Temple of Set, Michael Aquino, who i had kept tabs on for years before his death. I'm sure there are better "Churches" to join for grades of initiation, my comments are to be careful of joining the wrong groups.

Michael Aquino was the founder of the Temple of Set, who i don't like, his name is linked to many paedophilia groups, however he was slippery and never was convicted:- https://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/aquino-michael-1946 He was involved in MkUtra, so deals with disinformation, however he made a mistake with trying to sue the US army to get his name off a Paedophilia case where the children caught VD, the Army wouldn't take his name off the report as they strongly suspected him, although couldn't convict him. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/957/139/2044/ The Johannite Church does have a Retreat called the Friary, all i'm saying is be careful where you go for enlightenment. https://ordosacraeflammae.org/faq/

Hi Nungali, I have only written so far, about The Johannite Church, James Foster, Temple of Set and the Catholic Gnostic creed as mentioned below, with esoteric groups so i haven't confused anything:- https://hermetic.com/egc/creed James foster used to run the Temple of Set forum, so must have been a fairly high up adept, pictures below:-

Hi Nungali, James Foster Was the founder of the modern Johannite Church:- https://sites.google.com/site/gnostickos/bishopsfoster Also there are links regarding The Apostolic Johannite church by the All Saints Accord with the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, please read link under "Signatories" on link below:- https://www.johannite.org/all-saints-accord/ The closeness of the two branches of churches can be found when reading below regarding Pedophilia and convicted prisoner Bishop Reginald freeman:- https://johannite.org/response.pdf It may help the forum debate if we look at core beliefs of the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica. We need to scroll down to The Gnostic Creed on link below:- Gnostic Creed The creed of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica—also known as the Gnostic Creed—is recited in the Gnostic Mass, during the Ceremony of the Introit. The text of the Creed is as follows: I believe in one secret and ineffable LORD; and in one Star in the Company of Stars of whose fire we are created, and to which we shall return; and in one Father of Life, Mystery of Mystery, in His name CHAOS, the sole vicegerent of the Sun upon the Earth; and in one Air the nourisher of all that breathes. And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name BABALON. And I believe in the Serpent and the Lion, Mystery of Mystery, in His name BAPHOMET. And I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA. And I believe in the communion of Saints. And, forasmuch as meat and drink are transmuted in us daily into spiritual substance, I believe in the Miracle of the Mass. And I confess one Baptism of Wisdom whereby we accomplish the Miracle of Incarnation. And I confess my life one, individual, and eternal that was, and is, and is to come. AUMGN. AUMGN. AUMGN.[This quote needs a citation] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesia_Gnostica_Catholica I can't remember the amount of threads on other forums, where known Knights Templars have denied worshipping Baphomet, and they were accused of worshipping Baphomet centuries ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet I have no problem with seeking grades of initiation, but you have to be careful what you join.

Hi helpfuldemon. Yes people start religions that they were opposed to before, i did have a very interesting conversation with a Knights Templar some time back, Obviously they only aspire to be one, as it is only the Pope who could bring them back. Thee are several pages below, who i was talking to was KSigMason and my avatar was Astronomer62, and involves the Johannite Christian which is an esoteric and Gnostic Christian church. that did have connections to The Temple of Set, you can read about it below if you wish:- https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1224110/pg4

Some think the Mayan Calendar is aligned to the Galactic Center, however on the Winter Solstice 21st December 2012, i have found the Calendar aligned to Egyptian Stars being Isis/Sirius and Alnilam/Osiris at the Location of Izapa, Mexico :- https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/point-of-view Ancient Greek day marker is sunset , but as the Sun set at location, Alnilam, Belt of Orion and Osiris star was rising:- What is interesting is the Calendar was aligned twice for at sunrise at location, Sirius/Isis star was setting, i wonder about the connection to Egypt, graph below:- Chichen Itza was built between 9th and 12th Century, they left us with the shadow of the plumed serpent running down the Northern Balustrade of steps on the Pyramid during the Spring Vernal Equinox and the Autumn Equinox, we must investigate what else happened on these days at approx. time of building. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TspMx-bCAYY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Castillo,_Chichen_Itza https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox The First Council of Nicaea was important regarding Julian Calendar, it gave Christians ability to calcalate Easter, BUT the Spring Equinox was needed to do this regarding a full moon, but even then they knew that the calendar was too long, thus the real Equinox was moving backwards in the Julian Calendar, by 1582, this was happening on 11th March. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea All my astronomy programmes show Gregorian Calendar back to 1582, before then it uses Julian Calendar, to get back to around 0950 with Chichen Itza, i have to take off 5 days regarding Julian calendar regarding Autumn Equinox, so i'm showing 17th September 0950, being accurate, strangely with both Equinox's it seems aligned to Sirius and the Sun although, i'm only showing Autumn Equinox below:- As Sun rose at location, Sirius was culminating....

The Bangladeshi Calendar was put in place by Emperor Akbar on the 10/11th March 1584, links below:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladeshi_calendar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbar His Capital city in 1584 was Fatehpur Sikri, which he would align the calendar from:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatehpur_Sikri This Calendar was marked twice, at midnight with Alnilam setting, shown below:- It was also aligned to sunset on 10th March 1584 being the Islamic day start, with Alnilam culminating, as shown below:-

Another example would be the Indian National Calendar adopted on 22 March 1957 which is the Vernal Equinox, with Alnilam setting, link and graph below:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_national_calendar#Adoption

In 1925 Iran wasn't using time zones, the alignment that i now show isn't there because now time zones are used instead of local time. As you can see on previous thread's link, the start of new year corresponded to approx. Vernal Equinox, this is pasted below:- "Persian Month Latin Month Farvardin 21 March to 20 April" Although Islam favours sunset as the start of the day, hermetic mystics that use parans would always look at Sunrise, Sunset, and Midnight. They couldn't fail to see using midnight day marker for Tehran on 21st March 1925, that Sirius was setting thus used these dates for location, graph below:-

The Iranian Solar Hijri Calendar is aligned to Sirius by approx. Vernal Equinox. i will deal with this on next thread section. However it was adopted in Iran on 31st March 1925, which i have aligned to Tehran, the Islamic day start is previous sunset, so i will use this. https://en.key2persia.com/Iran-calendar#:~:text=Modern%20calendar%3A%20Solar%20Hijri%20Shamsi%20%28connected%20to%20the,solar%20year%E2%80%99%2C%20as%20it%20was%20like%20this%20before. As sun set, Sirius was culminating, graph below:-

Henry Pelham was Prime Minister at the time, link and quote below:- "Government Through strong family influence, and the recommendation of Robert Walpole, he was chosen in 1721 as Lord of the Treasury. At the 1722 general election he was returned as MP for Sussex county.[4] In 1724 he entered the ministry as Secretary at War, but this office he exchanged in 1730 for the more lucrative one of Paymaster of the Forces. He made himself conspicuous by his support of Walpole on the question of the excise. He, Newcastle, and the Prime Minister would often meet at Houghton Hall in Norfolk, where they would draw up much of the country's policy. These meetings became known as the Norfolk Congress. With Walpole, he served as a founding governor of the popular charity the Foundling Hospital when it opened its doors in 1739. Like his brother, the Duke of Newcastle, Pelham was an active FREEMASON of the Premier Grand Lodge of England, active alongside John Theophilus Desaguliers.[5] In 1742 a union of parties resulted in the formation of an administration in which Pelham became Prime Minister the following year, succeeding the Earl of Wilmington after his death. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Pelham#Government " Thomas Pelham Holles wasn't Prime Minister in 1752, he was in charge of the Southern Department, which isn't used any more, as it become The Foreign Office, It was his Brother who was Prime Minister, it was later when Thomas Pelham Holles become Prime Minister, link below will show he was a Freemason:- "Other notables have included the Prime Ministers, Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle". https://gilavalleylodge9.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/freemasons-and-the-royal-society/

Shirburn Castle does look spooky doesn't it:- https://handedon.wordpress.com/2011/05/30/shirburn-castle-oxfordshire/ Obvious England took out 11 days so after 2nd September 1752 it become 14 September 1752, so we can look to the horizon at midnight on 14 September 1752 being the first minute of the new calendar, where we find Alnilam, Belt of Orion and Osiris star rising in the East. The Gregorian Calendar reform bill in Parliament was passed on 13th May 1751, and on this day the Sun rose with Jupiter. https://www.historytoday.com/archive/gregorian-calendar-adopted-england Astronomy graphs below:-
