Contents : Albert Pike And Lucifer - S. Brent Morris Albert Pike And Lucifer The Lie That Will Not Die S. Brent Morris PM. Brent Morris is a member and a Past Master of Patmos Lodge #70. Ellicott city Maryland. He is the author of "Masonic Philanthropies" published jointly by the Northern and Southern Jurisdictions. Scottish Rite. An extract from this book was the May 1991 STB "And the Greatest of These is Charity". Dr. and Bro. Morris is a well known and respected Masonic Author Editor Have you heard the sad story about the dog that someone tried to dry off in a microwave oven What about the one where a jealous husband poured concrete into a new convertible not realizing it was a surprise anniversary gift from his wife Or maybe you've read about Albert Pike's so-called "Luciferian Doctrine " which teaches Masons that Lucifer is God These stories have one thing in common: they're all false. The first two are harmless "urban myths " innocently retold as cautionary tales. The story about Albert Pike and Lucifer however is a lie that will not die. Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pages (writing as Leo Taxil) conceived the hoax and designed it to slander Freemasonry and to embarrass the Catholic Church. It has been repeated for a century by anti-Masons who accept with child like eagerness any slur against our gentle craft. No other lie has captured the imagination of anti-Masons quite like this Leo Taxil hoax (just one of many he Perpetrated against Free masonry and the Catholic Church). Once our critics have twisted logic to convince them selves that Freemasonry is the work of Satan they are ready to accept this perversion. It usually comes in the form of a quotation that starts "On July 14 1889 Albert Pike Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry addressed to the 23rd supreme Confederated councils of the world the following instructions..." That is all you need to read to know the author has fallen prey to this infamous hoax. It is not entirely certain when the quote was fabricated nor where it was first published. We can however trace its modern appearances to Edith Starr Miller who wrote Occult Theocrasy (sic) in 1933 under the pen name "Lady Queensborough." Her work is excerpted and treated as the gospel truth usually without attribution. Such practices are known as plagiarism in other Page 1 of 4 Albert Pike And Lucifer - S. Brent Morris disciplines but neither serious research nor intellectual integrity stand in the way of the headlong rush to slander Free Masonry. Ms. Miller found her quote in the 1894 book by Abbe Clarin de la Rive La Femme et L'Enfant dans la Franc-ma onnerie Universelle (Woman and Child in Universal Free masonry). Abbe de la Rive like Ms. Miller was duped by the hoax they are guilty only of incompetent research and an eager willingness to believe the worst about Freemasonry. The ultimate source was the pornographer anti-Mason and anti-Catholic Leo Taxil (Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pages). Taxil publicly confessed his deccption in 1897 his story is widely available for anyone willing to look for the truth. Just a few of the many references are listed below. R. Limouzin-Lamothe. The New Catholic Encyclopedia s.v. Taxil Leo. Henry W. Coil et al. Coil's Mosonic Encyclopedia (Richmond Va.: Macoy Publishing & Masonic Supply Co. 1961) s.v. Taxil Leo.

The entire passage from Ms. Miller is not worth quoting though we will give the portion most repeated. The Bogus "Luciferian Doctrine" of Albert Pike from Edith Starr Miller (Lady Queensborough) Occult Theocrasy 2 vols 1933. Reprint. Hawthome Calif.: the Christian Book Club of America 1980. "(P-233) In La Femme et L'enfant dans la Franc-ma onnerie Universelle page 578 A.C. De La Rive states that on July 14 l889 AIbert Pike Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry addressed to the 23 Supreme Confederated Councils of the world the following instructions which we quote herewith in part. (p-220) That which we must say to the crowd is: - We worship a God but it is the God that one adores without superstition. To you Sovereign Grand Inspectors General we say this that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd 31st and 30th degrees the Masonic religion should be by all of its initiates of the higher degrees maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine. if Lucifer were not God would Adonay (the God of the Christians) whose deeds prove his cruelty perfidy and hatred of man Barbarism and repulsion for science would Adonay and his priests calumniate him ****** Page 2 of 4 Alber
