Devil-Worship in France

CHAPTER XII
16/22

337, which purports to be a gnostic symbol of the dual divinity, is actually the frontispiece to Levi's _Dogme de la Haute Magie_.

The magical urn on p.
409 is the facsimile of a similar object in another of Levi's drawings; and if it were worth while to continue, the material for a further enumeration is not wanting.

But these matters, after all, are of inferior moment, and to complete the exposure of this witness, I pass to the final points of my criticism.
Dr Bataille publishes an alleged Table of High-grade Masonry as it existed on March 1, 1891, and this document, which is similar in many respects to another of a slightly anterior date, produced by Signor Margiotta, is said to have been prepared by Albert Pike himself; it includes a long list of the persons then in correspondence with the Supreme Dogmatic Directory as Inspectors General "in permanent mission." It is a bizarre medley which includes the Orders of the Druids, Mopses, Oddfellows, and Mormon Moabites in the same connection as the Ancient and Accepted Scotch Rite, the Rites of Memphis and Misraim, and the San-Ho-Hei.

As such, it would be, in any case, a large tax upon the gullibility of readers outside the back streets of Paris.

But I determined to make some inquiries among the English names mentioned.
