Ascanius this observ’d, and smiling said: “See, we devour the plat ...

Necron - Necron Characteristics. Necrons are a robotic race, forged by the ancient Necrontyr (whose essence is now contained within Necrons) and their Star Gods.

A scar is a natural part of the healing process. Skin scars occur when the deep, thick layer of skin (the dermis) is damaged. To mend the damage, the body has to lay down new collagen fibres (a naturally occurring protein which is produced by the body). This process results in a fortuna scar. Because the body cannot re-build the tissue exactly as it was, the new scar tissue will have a different texture and quality than the surrounding normal tissue. An injury does not become a s ...

Baphomet (Ancient Greek). The androgyne goat of Mendes. (See Secret Doctrine, I. 253).

According to the Western, and especially the French Kabalists, the Templars were accused of worshipping Baphomet, and Jacques de Molay, the Grand Master of the Templars, with all his brother-Masons, suffered death in consequence.

But esoterically, and philologically, the word never meant "goat", nor even anything so objective as an idol. The term means according to Von Hammer, "baptism" or initiation into Wisdom, from the Greek words bafh and mhtiz and from the relation of Baphometus to Pan. Von Hammer must be right. It was a Hermetico Kabalistic symbol, but the whole story as invented by the Clergy was false.

(See "Pan ".)
