Truth about the TE-TRA-GRAM-MA-TON

MORE MORMON MAGICK
by Larry Hall
"For all that do these things are an
abomination unto the LORD:..."
(Deuteronomy 18:12)
Idolatry within Mormonism must be just as grievous to the

as it

was in ancient Judah. Mormons worship a limited god of flesh

and

bones. Their god is a created being living on a distant

near

the star Kolob. He was once a man and had a father who was a

created

being who also became a god, ad infinitum.

The Mormon god is limited in knowledge and is still

to

perfection. He is not omnipresent and can be in only one

at any

given time. He is a god with many wives; one of them gave

to a

spirit child named Mary. He placed Mary in an "earthly

tabernacle of

flesh" and then visited her years later for the purpose of

having

physical sexual relations with her. The resulting Mormon

is the

spirit brother of Lucifer, the devil.

As in the days of Jeremiah, foreign gods have taken up

residence in

the Mormon Temple. Hermetic and satanic symbols play a vital

role in

both architecture and ceremony. These characters and symbols

are

clearly an abomination to the God of the Bible. I am certain

that

Jeremiah would echo my sentiments with boldness: the Mormon

Church is

defying the Lord, disobeying God's laws, and is destined for

judgment!

"But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret

places for

your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with

tears,

because the LORD's flock is carried away captive." (Jeremiah

13:17)

Hyrum Smith's Magick Paraphernalia

The magick talisman of Joseph Smith, founder of the Church

Jesus

Christ of Latter-day Saints, was examined for its occultic

meanings in

an APOLOGETICS article entitled, "Joseph's Magick Talisman."

The

metallic object was discovered on Smith's body after his

assassination

in Carthage, Illinois, in 1844. It was positively identified

a

Jupiterian charm used by practitioners of the black arts to

conjure up

supernatural powers in an effort to control the forces of

nature.

The use of such objects for conjuration and divination is

strictly

prohibited by the Biblical God: "There shall not be found

you

any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through

fire,

or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an

enchanter, or

a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits,

a

wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are

abomination unto the LORD:..." 1

If you think that Joseph's magick talisman was an isolated

insignificant incident in Mormon history, it is imperative

we

examine the death scene more closely. We have already looked

his

parents' involvement in magick and divination. We will now

our

attention to Joseph's older brother Hyrum.

Hyrum Smith was one of the eight witnesses to the Book of

Mormon. He

was very close to Joseph and was incarcerated with him in

Carthage

jail. He was killed by the mob in the same blazing gunfight

that ended

the life of the first Mormon prophet.

Several very significant magick artifacts were in Hyrum's

possession

at the time of his death. They were listed by Mormon

Pearson

H. Corbett as, "Dagger, Masonic ten inch, stainless

steel--wooden

handle--Masonic symbols on blade. Emblematic
parchments--Masonic--three, original hand painted on heavy

bodied

paper--on border appears initials 'I.H.S.'...Pouch,

Masonic--cotton

fabric 4" x 4" with draw string attached." 2

These magick materials are now in the possession of Eldred

Smith,

great-great-grandson of Hyrum Smith, who used to make them

available

for public inspection. He apparently does not do so now

he

does not wish them to cause embarrassment to the Mormon

He

does, however, admit that they may be "cabalistic" in origin

(i.e.,

linked to occult or mystic writings). 3

Pictures of the Hyrum Smith relics can be found in Jerald

Sandra

Tanner's masterful book entitled, Mormonism, Magic and

I

spoke with Sandra Tanner about obtaining higher-quality

photographs,

but she informed me that her copies were second generation

also.

Apparently the first-generation photographs were used by

Historian D. Michael Quinn in an out-of-print book he

prior

to being excommunicated from the church for being so

in his

research!

The photographs above and to the right depict two of the

parchments

belonging to Hyrum Smith. I will give a brief explanation of

the most

significant symbols and their connection with the magickal

arts.

The circular objects found in both photographs are known in

witchcraft

as pentacles. They are used by magicians to gain power over

spirit

world. They must be made in accordance with specific rules

consecration rites.

While they are usually made out of metal that corresponds to

the

nature of the suitable planet, according to The Greater Key

Solomon, "They may also be made with Virgin Parchment paper,

writing

thereon with the colors adopted for each planet,...and

according to

the Planet with which the Pentacle is in sympathy." 4

You will notice that the Hyrum Smith pentacles are identical

the

ones shown in photograph #3. These appeared in a 1584 book

entitled

The Discovery of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot and are the

pentacles

depicted for the purpose of "conjuring for a dead spirit."

Under one

of the pentacles is the inscription, "Whoso beareth this

about

him, all spirits shall do him homage."

In the encyclopedia of occultism, The Golden Dawn, Israel

Regardie

explains the pentacle as one of the Elemental weapons which

"...are

symbolic representations of the forces employed for the

manifestation

of the inner self, the elements required for the incarnation

the

divine." 5

It is certain that the Smith brothers knew very little about

the power

of God. The Holy Spirit does not play with tarot cards! The

Prince of

Darkness, however, has the deck memorized.

On the Hyrum Smith parchment (below right), a strange

pentagram appears in the top center portion. Inside the

the

word TE-TRA-GRAM-MA-TON is inscribed according to its

starting at the top and extending clockwise.

The Tanners have located the identical object in the book,

Ancients Book of Magic, by Lewis de Claremont (photograph

Tetragrammaton is the name of God frequently used in magic

according to Regardie's Golden Dawn System of Magic,

"Qabalistically,

each letter of the Tetragrammaton was attributed to one of

four

major primitive elements of the ancients....represents the

basic

elements of life." 6

Another strange shape (below left) is found in Francis

Barrett's 1801

book of occult philosophy The Magus. You will find the

identical shape in the center portion of Hyrum Smith's

parchment (top

left), including the word RAPHAEL inscribed in the middle.

According

to Regardie, "Raphael is the Archangel of air. The Archangel

Tiphareth is also Raphael. The angel of Mercury is also

Raphael." 7

The Tanners have located another identification in The

of

Armadel, "RAPHAEL is a Spirit of Science who did teach

Knowledge and Wisdom. He is to be invoked on a Sunday before

Sunrise."

8 Regardless of the meaning intended by Hyrum Smith, the

is

positively occultic and has nothing to do with Christianity!

You will remember that Pearson Corbett listed among the

Smith

artifacts a "Dagger" with "Masonic symbols on blade."

Photographs of

the dagger (not reproduced in this article) show the Hebrew

characters

forming the word ADONAI (Lord) on one side, and the seal of

Mars on

the other. The seal and characters are both found on a

shown

by Barrett in his book The Magus.

Notwithstanding the importance of the dagger in ceremonial

magic, the

seal of Mars was a very suitable occultic symbol for Hyrum

Smith to

carry. Mars is associated with war and destruction!

to The

Greater Key of Solomon, "In the days and hours of Mars thou

canst make

experiments regarding Wars; to arrive at military honour; to

acquire

courage; to overthrow enemies; and further to cause ruin,

slaughter,

cruelty, discord; to wound and to give death." 9

In The Magus, we read, "The third table belongs to Mars,

there

are over it divine names with an intelligence to good, and a

spirit to

evil, and out of it is drawn the characters of Mars and of

spirits. These, with Mars fortunate, being engraven on an

plate,

or sword, makes a man potent in war and judgment, and

petitions, and

terrible to his enemies; and victorious over them;..." 10

Much more could be said about the Smith brothers and their

magick

history. The evidence supporting their occultic background

involvement with witchcraft is simply overwhelming. Pray

me that

the beautiful Mormon people will come to this realization

leave

their Temple of Doom!

Nothing here older than 1584, and upon the note, nothing here
about the "truth" 'about' the Tetragrammaton. More of 'a'

about the misuse and handling of the Tetragrammaton. God gave

freewill, and many have misused things pertaining to God all
through the Centuries (we note that in the Tanach / OT), so it

not a new thing that others misuse the Tetragrammaton (that
happens right here in the NGs!) or the Alpha Star, (which I

read was one of the Talismans of King Solomon), or as you term
it, the Pentagram, (also noted as the U.S. Army Amity, and

GAS), and it was NOT noted here that the Pentagram in satanism
(or opposing forces of the Holy Heavens) is inverted upside

like they do the crucifix! Correctly, it represents a man

out his arms (the ARROW points UP), and in the opposition, the
inverted to upside down Alpha Star has it's ARROW pointed

in manner of speaking, flipping the man upside down, or a

head). It is unfortunate that people may uses of the
Tetragrammaton, Crucifix, Alpha Star, and BIBLE! But once

God gave freewill. And RESPECTFULLY, this subject is geared
toward the Sacred Name, not Mormon[whatever]. And "Magick" is

word used by Aliester Crowley.
