".... at least five survivors from allegedly three separate groups have indicated that male ritual abusers whom they remember were also Masons"
(S.M.A.R.T. note: other studies have shown incidences of Masons allegedly ritually abusing children as high as 33 percent of the total number of reported cases of ritual abuse, see S.M.A.R.T. Issue #1)."One person specifically recalls a satanic catechism session that seemingly took place in a Masonic lodge." (Page 355)
The article goes on to discuss the word "Jahbulon," which is used in the 13th and 17th degrees of the Scottish rite. Masons agree this word is compounded of the names of three deities, the middle word Ba'al, and the original Masons that devised the word in the 1830's knew the word Ba'al 'was the devil'. "...with this mythological interpretation now in place, one easily could see how deviant Freemasons could either sanctify practices involving child-sacrifice to Ba'al or Molech or perhaps could be inspired to engage in them." (Page 356)
Freemasonry believes that King Solomon directed the Masons in the construction of their temple. In the Biblical passage 1 Kings 11: 4-8, King Solomon "turned to the worship of Ashtoreth and Molech when he reached old age." (Page 356) In the Bible, these gods are seen as evil."If, however, Masonic deviants wanted to find an allusion to Satan in their rituals, then they would be able to do so in the reference made in the third degree ritual to 'that bright morning star' which, biblically, was "Lucifer, son of the morning.' (Isaiah 14:12) (page 356)"...Masons frequently are willing to rent their lodges to appropriate individuals or organizations, and few if any questions would he asked about a fellow 'brother' who used the facilities (along with a few ëassociates') from time to tine. Satanic rituals could occur in Masonic lodges (as at least some survivors suggest in their stories) without respectable members knowing anything about them." (Page 357)
S.M.A.R.T. editor's note: I remember several (at least three or four rooms and one very large room, with hundreds of people) rooms in the basement of the Masonic lodge allegedly used for torture, terrifying, raping, brainwashing and murder. Most of these rooms could not be used for anything else."The Masonic critic, Martin Short, observed that "(t)he works of Albert Pike... and Aleister Crowley show that men preoccupied with paganism, the devil, and the occult are attracted to Masonry, if only (as in Crowley's case) on the way to somewhere else." (Page 357)
Kent's article provides support for charges that Crowley was a Satanist, including his misogyny, his belief in sexual magick, his use of vaginal fluids, "...he provided instructions about worshipping a god of War and Vengeance, Ra-Hoor-Khuit ... (King, 1977, p.135). He indicated that (t)he best blood (for use in worship) is of the noon, monthly; then the fresh blood of a child.... Crowley recorded that devotees were to "(s)acrifice cattle big and little; after a child' (Crowley, 1972 p. 311)" (page 357). An evil spirit named Mercury informed Crowley and his magickal partner, Victor Neuberg, "'that the supreme act of sexual magic involved the rape, ritual murder, and dissection into nine pieces of the body of a young girl. The resulting chunks of flesh were to be offered as sacrifices to the immortal gods'" (King, 1977, p. 85) (page 358)Louise (a pseudonym), whose father was a Mason, remembers at age 3, "being sexually assaulted by a man in a crimson robe that her father brought to her. She also recalls an incident where she was placed on top of a white set of three steps . . . and sexually assaulted by numerous men. She also recalls seeing a young girl sacrificed and dismembered next to her on a table. Furthermore, she spoke about another incident in which thirteen men each placed an object into her vagina and caught the resultant blood and additional discharges in a container (Louise, 1992)" (page 357)
Kent claims that Crowley's rituals may provide an explanation for this.Kent's article also shows possible connections between deviant Mormonism and Satanism. (S.M.A.R.T. note: Several Mormon rituals were "borrowed" from Masonic rituals.) "The strongest (but not definitive) evidence that satanic rituals are being conducted in the context of deviant Mormonism appears in an internal memo about 'ritualistic child abuse' written by a Mormon bishop.... Bishop Glenn L. Pace .... indicated that he had "met with sixty victims. That number could be twice or three times as many if I did not discipline myself to only one meeting per week... All sixty individuals are members of the church. Forty-five victims allege witnessing and/or participating in human sacrifice. The majority were abused by relatives, often their parents." (Pace, 1990 p. 1, reprinted in Utah Lighthouse Ministry, 1991 p.3) . . . The alleged perpetrators were Mormons, often ones in prominent church positions." (Page 358) These included Young Women and Young Men leaders and members of the Tabernacle Choir."

THIS IS A LETTER FROM PROFESSOR STEPHEN KENT Ph.D., SOCIOLOGY DEPT, AT UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY. HE HAS DONE RESEARCH INTO POSSIBLE MASONIC INVOLVEMENT AND INFLUENCES IN CULT RITUAL ABUSE, AND HAS PUBLISHED IN ACADEMIC JOURNALS.
I am a sociologist of religion who has presented research findings about ritual abuse allegations at a conferences about ritual abuse. I will be pleased to snail-mail you three published articles that I have written about ritual abuse allegations, two of which contain sections on the deviant Masonic accounts that I have heard. In essence, no other philanthropic group shows up in so many accounts as does Freemasonry. Specifically in one of the articles, I discuss why this may be so--what is it about Freemasonry that could harbor paedophiles and abusers.
Please know that I maintain appropriate academic detachment in my analysis, so that the lack of definitive proof for these allegations forces me to stop short of saying that they represent accurate memories. Nonetheless, I sure do hear lots of tales about very bad abuse in deviant Masonic settings, and I take them VERY seriously.
