Egyptian Mystery Schools


“The first of the Mysteries of which we have
any account, Warburton says, “were those of Isis  And Osiris in Egypt.” – The origin of Freemasonry and Knights templar by Bennett, John Richardson, (1907) pg.4



"Egypt was the cradle of all the Mysteries. At one time in possession of all the learning and religion that was to be found in the world, it extended into other nations the influence of its sacred rites and its Secret Doctrines. The importance, therefore, of the Egyptian Mysteries will entitle them to a more diffusive explanation than has been awarded to the examination of the other rites." - Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg.  129-130

"The principal seat of the Egyptian Mysteries was at Memphis, in the neighborhood of the great Pyramid.” – The origin of Freemasonry and Knights templar by Bennett, John Richardson, (1907) pg. 7

"Among all the Ancient people there was both
a Public and a Secret worship. The Secret worship - Ancientdid not originate in Egypt, but in Ancient Atlantis and from thence to Egypt. The Secret Worship has always been known as "The Mysteries" Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 132-133

The ancient peoples of Egypt are thought to be the most learned in the wisdom of the Secret Doctrine.  Some have even considered Egypt was the Mother of the Mysteries. It is said on the banks of the Nile that the Royal Art was born.

The great of philosophers from other nations visited Egypt to be initiated in the sacred Mysteries including Thales, Solon, Pythagoras and Plato. Once they returned to their own country these illumined men each declared the Egyptians to be the wisest of mortals, and the Egyptian temples to be the repositories of sublime doctrines concerning the history of the Gods and the regeneration of men.

"That “learning of the Egyptians,” in which Moses  is said to have been so skilled, was all imparted in those Mysteries.” – The origin of Freemasonry and Knights templar by Bennett, John Richardson, (1907) pg.4

"the Kabalah of the Ancient Hebrews, which Moses derived by initiation into the Mysteries of Egypt and Persia, and which Albert Pike and many others declare was identical among the Hebrews, the Egyptians, Hindoos and other nations of antiquity, was known as the secret doctrine. The reason for such a name is fully revealed in what has been shown hitherto." - Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 54

And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.-Acts 7:22 King James Version

“The Ancient Mysteries had a beginning, the first of which are those of Isis and Osiris in Egypt. The most important of these mysteries were the Osiric in Egypt.” Albert G Mackey 33°, “Encyclopedia of Freemasonry” [p.497]

"From Egypt the Mysteries went to Phonecia and were celebrated at Tyre. Osiris changed his name and became Adonai or Dionusus, still the representative of the Sun. In Greece and Sicily, Osiris took the name of Bacchus." Albert Pike 33°: "Morals and Dogma" [p. 363]

In this time, the Mysteries ruled the world. This often results in confusion of who is the evil and good gods. Some calling Osiris the Satan figure while others saying Typhon or Set.



Symbology

Isis, the Mother of Mysteries, she is the church.
Thus, Isis is the symbol of the Atlantean Mystery School and Freemasonry as an institution.

Horus represents the body of illumined Initiates who were born again out of the womb of Isis or the Mystery School.

Osiris represented the Secret Doctrine prior to that time when the omnific Word was lost.”  – Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians, by Manly Hall pg 147

The penis of Osiris represents Lost Word of Freemasonry, it represents the Luciferian philosophy. Thus the divine power of Osiris is restored through the regeneration of the man himself and the processes of initiation.



“When Atlantis ruled the word, that which is now America was connected with Egypt by what is now Mexico, and in Mexico, in the territory of Yucatan, there is a Pyramid in which the Fire Philosophers worshiped God as Divine Fire and Life in like manner as did the Initiates of Egypt, for the two were then one.”-Fundamental Laws: A Report of the 68th Convocation of the Rose Cross Order: pg. 24
