S - The nineteenth letter; numerically, sixty. In Hebrew it is the fifteenth letter, Samech, held as holy because "the sacred name of god is Samech". Its symbol is a prop, or a pillar, and a phallic egg. In occult geometry it is represented as a circle quadrated by a cross, . In the Kabbalah the "divisions of Gan-Eden or paradise" are similarly divided.

Holy Water
Holy Water. This is one of the oldest rites practised in Egypt, and thence in Pagan Rome. It accompanied the rite of bread and wine. "Holy water was sprinkled by the Egyptian priest alike upon his gods’ images and the faithful. It was both poured and sprinkled.
A brush has been found, supposed to have been used for that purpose, as at this day." (Bonwick’s Egyptian Belief.) As to the bread, "the cakes of Isis were placed upon the altar. Gliddon writes that they were ‘identical in shape with the consecrated cake of the Roman and Eastern Churches’. Melville assures us ‘the Egyptians marked this holy bread with St. Andrew’s cross’.
The Presence bread was broken before being distributed by the priests to the people, and was supposed to become the flesh and blood of the Deity. The miracle was wrought by the hand of the officiating priest, who blessed the food. . . . Rouge tells us ‘the bread offerings bear the imprint of the fingers, the mark of consecration ‘."
(Ibid, page 458.) (See also " Bread and Wine".)

Anu
Anu (Chald.). One of the highest of Babylonian deities, "King of Angels and Spirits, Lord of the city of Erech". He is the Ruler and God of Heaven and Earth.
His symbol is a star and a kind of Maltese cross - emblems of divinity and sovereignty. He is an abstract divinity supposed to inform the whole expense of ethereal space or heaven, while his "wife" informs the more material planes. Both are the types of the Ouranos and Gaia of Hesiod.
They sprang from the original Chaos. All his titles and attributes are grapfiic and indicate health, purity physical and moral, antiquity and holiness.
Anu was the earliest god of the city of Erech. One of his sons was Bil orVil-Kan, the god of fire, of various metals, and of weapons. George Smith very pertinently sees in this deity a close connection with a kind of cross breed between "the biblical Tubal Cain and the classical Vulcan" . .who is considered to be moreover "the most potent deity in relation to witchcraft and spells generally".

A Study of the Elements of Holy CommunionHoly Communion is not about re-sacrificing Christ, though we must remember what happen and the high price that was paid; Holy Communion is about looking forward, seeing an empty cross, knowing that the devil & death have been conquered for all time, and seeking relationship with the resurrected Christ, our Lord. THE PERSONALITY AND MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: A REGENERATED MIND’S APPROACHThe questions here are: Is the Holy Spirit a person, one that possesses "personality&- quot;? Or is the Holy Spirit simply an "influence&qu- ot;, or "impersonal force “that emanates from God? Many have advanced a lot of postulations to prove that the Holy Spirit is not a person but an ordinary influence. Some people especially the anti-Trinitarian groups use some biblical passages to deceive people saying that the Holy Spirit is not a person. Hence, the issue under discussion.
