The Owl is not a symbol of any known variation of Molech, pre-Christianity. They were only ever associated following the post-gnostic realignment of Greek culture. This because Athena became co-mingled with the consort of Molech, known under various names. Its possible the two (females) have similar origins in pre-semitic myth. <br><br>Molech is associated with carrion birds in general, however, and with the night watchman. So owls aren't TOO much of a stretch, just no documentation dating back to Molech as Molech. However, Molech is also, BAAL, Beelzebub, and the Christian Devil "Satan", Prince of the Aeire. Via Merqdat he is associated with Lucifer, via the Christian misunderstanding of Isaiah, and with the "black sun" of various cults via Merqdat as well (which, unlike the christian view of him, is mostly accurate). The nazis knew him in this form, as do offshoots of the Yezidi (Merqdat as peacock), and some corrupted Sufi/Ishmali sects (Al Queda). <br><br>Find it personally fascinating, the anti-Jesuit polemic coming from ex-Jesuits. Probably this is a result of the "lodge" style teaching of the Jesuits which purported culminates in a StarCult/Assassin style nihilist unveiling at the highest levels. Some people would likely overreact to a loss of faith, especially the formerly devout.<br><br>(IUSTUM NECAR REGES IMPIOUS)<br><br>Illuminati indeed. Who needs darkness? <p></p><i></i>
