The sprinkling of blood on one's self and the congregation is a sign of one's commitment to a covenant of bloodshed, a covenant with demonic powers.  Bloodshed and animal sacrifices were initiated by the fallen angel and demon Azazel, according to the Ethiopic Book of Enoch.  All students of demonology know that bloodshed, usually of animals, but sometimes of humans,  is a perquisite of those wishing to appease whatever demon one is invoking.

    When the late Jewish prophets denounced the animal sacrifices of orthodox Judaism, they usually affirmed that the animal sacrifices were adopted because the Hebrews had adopted foreign gods.  Zechariah makes it plain that profit from selling animal flesh is the motive for the cattle raisers, who no doubt hired the "false scribes" or "false prophets" to rewrite the original Vegetarian Bible so that it now sanctioned animal sacrifices.  It is the ritual aspect of sprinkling blood that this section focuses on, though the few passages that simply describe the act of slaughter are there to highlight the brutality of the ritualized event.

    Those of you who have examined the other chapters of this work know of the abundant evidence for the vegetarianism of Moses, and for the fact that the original Vegetarian Torah was rewritten, and that, as Jesus, the Ebionites, and numerous late prophets affirmed, the scriptures written sanctioning the animal sacrifices are false scriptures written by false scribes.

    Grimoires are called books of black magic.  I prefer to call them books of evil magic, so as not to use the color black as a symbol for evil.  Parts of the Torah are definitely grimoires of evil magic, involving, like some Voodoo rites, and cults we read about in tabloids, the killing of a living creature, and the sprinkling of its blood on one's self and the congregation in order for the demonic powers to understand that all who are present are of the covenant of bloodshed.

    Remembering that the name of Moses below is being falsely used to promote what is evil--the taking of another creature's life--in the passages below, notice that a ritual of bloodshed, putting the blood of the lambs on the lintel and doorposts, is part of the passover.  We have seen above that the demon Mastema, whose name is regarded as a form of Satan, was regarded as the true originator of the passover slaughtering, not God, in "Jubilees" and "Fragments of a Zadokite Fragment."  And we know also from the abundant evidence in Genesis, Baruch, Job, and the late prophets, that the name of Enoch was, as Wise Abegg and Cook assert in their edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls, as famous to the ancients who lived in the times of the Torah as it is obscure to us, except for those of us who choose to search out the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, which remains part of the Old Testament tradition among the Jewish Ethiopians.  In that work all bloodshed whether of other creatures or humans is forbidden.  So, if we take the morality of the Book of Enoch, and juxtapose it with the vegetarian covenant of Genesis 1: 29-30, with which it is in harmony, as well as with the promise of a Restoration to the original covenant, the following demonic rituals in the Torah may be seen for what they actually are, rewritten sections of the original Vegetarian Bible.

"...the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs in the evening.  Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat them.  They shall eat the flesh that night."  "Exodus" 12: 6-8.

"Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them `Select lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the passover lamb.  Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood which is in the basin and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood which is in the basin.'"  Exodus 12: 21-22.

 "And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar...And Moses took the blood and threw it upon the people."

"Behold the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words."  Moses in "Exodus" 24: 68.

"All the firstlings of your cattle that are males shall be the Lord's.  Every firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it, you shall break its neck."  "Exodus" 13: 12-13.

  "Then you shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting, and shall take part of the blood of the bull and put it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, and the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar."  Exodus 29: 10-12.

"... you shall slaughter the ram, and shall take its blood and throw it against the altar round about.  Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs and put them with its pieces and its head, and burn the whole ram upon the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord; it is a pleasing odor..."  Exodus 29:15-18.

"...and you shall kill the ram, and take part of its blood and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and upon the tips of the right ears of his sons, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet, and throw the rest of the blood against the altar round about. Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron and his garments, and upon his sons and his sons' garments with him; and he and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and his sons' garments with him." Exodus  29: 19-21.

"You shall observe this rite as an ordinance for you and your sons forever."  "Exodus" 12: 24

    Let us now go to the work of a more recent commentator on demonology, Roman Catholic Montague Summers, where we will see that Summers recognizes the blood of creatures as a crucial element in the evil forms of witchcraft that promotes bloodshed (as opposed to all the positive forms of witchcraft which promote positive rituals of unity and harmony among all creatures).
 
 

    Roman Catholic scholar Montague Summers was and still is an embarrassment to some members of the Catholic Church not only because he, like some other scholars and historians of the Roman Catholic Church, contrary to the views of most historians, believed that the Inquisition was a good institution that helped purge heretics from the Roman Catholic Church, but also because he brought some public attention to demonology.  Demonology is not something a carnivorous culture such as that of the Roman Catholic Church wants to be reminded of.  For the Roman Catholic church, like its Protestant comrades, is constantly teaching its children and adherents that animal sacrifices and carnivorism are sanctioned by an all loving deity, and not by demonic powers, in spite of their being condemned in "Epistle to the Hebrews,"and halted for a small period of time by Jesus when he cleansed the temple,.

    Once one examines the blood rituals of demonology even as Roman Montague Summers presents it to us, however, that is, the study of demons and how to invoke them through rituals of terror and bloodshed, and once one looks beyond the packaged flesh of carnivorism to the oppression and slaughter that preceded it, it is not hard to see the connection between the prescribed manner of sacrificing animals in demon rituals, and the Torah's ritual slaughtering of animals in a prescribed manner, which we have seen through the passages quoted above.   Voodoo rites of killing chickens and sprinkling their blood, and tabloid accounts of ritual killings of animals by so-called cults are only different in degree, not kind, from these prescribed rituals.

    And that is why the reporting of such incidents is sometimes done in a semi-embarrassed tone by reporters.  Some reporters are quite aware that they are talking about the terror and bloodshed that are a necessary prerequisite to their dinners of burgers, pork, chicken, fish, or other form of meat.

   Though Summers totally distorts the Inquisition into something quite good and acceptable, and the vegetarian Albigensian movement as bloody witchcraft, when that movement was in fact confronting the established witchcraft, i.e. carnivorism, of the Roman Catholic Church,  Summers nonetheless reports on how bloodshed and demonology are intimately connected, and in so doing unintentionally confirms that carnivorism is, in fact, a manifestation of that same demonology.
 

"'The life of the flesh is in the blood,' we are told in Leviticus vii, 11, and in blood is some psychic personality, some spiritual copula or link.  It is this truth which underlies the solemn sanctity of the blood covenant, most ancient and most inviolable of all human pledges between man and man....Evil spirits are powerfully attracted by the smell of freshly spilled blood.  It is popularly believed that, as so elaborately prescribed in the ritual laws of Exodus and the Levitical code, incense was burned by Aaron and his line to cleanse the air from the fetid stench of sacrificial blood." Witchcraft and Black Magic, Montague Summers, London; New York: Rider, 1946.

   Summers quotes another student of demonology:

"Henry Hallywell...in his Melampronea: or A Discourse of The Polity and Kingdom of Darkness: Together with a Solution of the Chiefest Objections brought against the Being of Witches, 1681, suggests that demons may enter into animals because they are eager for bodily warmth, and furthermore to acquire some species of corporeity, and since they are ever athirst for and delight in the smell of blood, they are the readier, in return for this kind of sensual gratification, to render service to the person who is willing to nourish them with blood."  Ibid.

    When we say eating corpses, instead of eating meat, the demonic aspect becomes more apparent.  And when we say that carnivorous people are corpse-eaters (the Gospel of Philip says "this world eats corpses), and let the implications of such terms sink in, then all the violence, frustration, despair, bloody atrocities, that are the attributes of carnivorous cultures, as William Harris in The Scientific Basis of Vegetarianism has implied, are merely the logical emanations of such a culture.  Harris' study, which says that statistically it is proven that carnivorous cultures commit a much higher number of violent crimes than carnivorous cultures,  is simply modern confirmation of conclusions reached by Hindu, Jain, Pythagorean and Buddhist writers millennia ago, that carnivorous cultures are far more violent that vegetarian ones.

    Christian church father Origen in the third century continues on with the implications of animal sacrifices, telling us that cultures that practice animal sacrifices are karmically promoting natural disasters.  The contemporary reader is able to confirm the conclusions of Origen.  For example we are faced with the huge pollution of the ground and water caused by slaughterhouse industries, and the immense pollution caused by  restaurants cooking and serving flesh and sending smoke toxins rising into the atmosphere creating heat zones that meet cold zones, causing violent storms--all these confirm--we can even say scientifically confirm--the conclusions of Origen.
 

   Before the Pauline insensitivity to bloodshed was formalized by Constantine's acceptance of the New Testament in 325, a body of work created by bishops favorable to Rome, however, the church father Origen not only recognized the relationship between evil demonic spirits and the evil act of animal sacrifice, but recommended that the act of animal sacrifice be regarded as a crime by the king.

    "Some do not consider the truth concerning daemons, namely that if they are to remain in this gross air near the earth they need food from sacrifices and so keep where there is always smoke and blood and incense.  Accordingly, they hold it a light and indifferent matter to offer sacrifice.  To this we would say that if those who provide food for thieves and murderers and barbarian enemies of the great king are punished as offenders against society, how much more would they be most justly punished who by sacrificing to the ministers of evil give them food which maintains them in the region near the earth..." Exhortation to Martyrdom.

   India has been the the world's acknowledged spiritual center, and a center for vegetarianism throughout the ages, even when its brahmin class abandoned its vegetarian values and resumed the sacrifice of animals, causing Buddha to arise in opposition, for the Jains remained steadfastly vegetarian during the lapse of the brahmins.  Today, however, having succumbed somewhat to technology and to the varied diets of its population, there is a greater degree of carnivorism in India, even though it is among the minority of its inhabitants.  Thus the issue of cow-slaughter is being brought up in the parliament of India, for it indeed is contradictory for the majority of people in the nation to affirm that the cow is sacred, at the same time allowing for the slaughter of the sacred creature.

    A truly sane culture, one which would be in harmony with the condemnation of all bloodshed that exists in the vegetarian covenant of Genesis 1: 29-30 as well as in the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, as well as with the scientific data confirmed in medical research laboratories throughout the world, that the animal fat, i.e. the cholesterol of sacrificed animals, is the main cause of  heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and a legion of other diseases, a truly sane culture, would of course condemn the killing of animals on the basis of compassion, and the ingesting of animals on the basis of health.
 

     Perhaps it is close to impossible, or at least very improbable, to expect a committed carnivore to monitor what occurs to an animal before it becomes available for human consumption. When we decide to  monitor more closely all the violence and brutality that is necessary to make a flesh and blood living creature into a bunch of hamburgers, pork and chicken or fish sandwiches that we will eat, it can be the beginning of a period of honesty, of reevaluating our conceptions of what is truly good and what is truly evil. To refuse to look at the violence is to engage in a classic manifestation of suppression.
 

   Though the slaughtering of animals in the slaughterhouse is now devoid of the prescribed rituals of the Torah and in particular "Leviticus" and "Exodus" and is simply done in a utilitarian manner in order to accomplish the killing, dismembering, packaging and selling of the flesh, it is the slaughtering itself which is the essence of the rite, and in that manner, the slaughtering in the slaughterhouse has the same brutality and violence that is involved in Grimoire rituals and in the rituals of the Torah.  Formal rituals are an overt way of creating a bond with those participating in the ritual.  And the sprinkling of blood on members is a bond between those who agree.  But whether or not a formal ritual exists signifying one's connection with demonic entities, the act of slaughter is itself a demonic act, and the blood splattered white jackets of those slaughtering the animals in the slaughterhouse is no different an act that the acts of slaughter sanctioned in the scriptures of "Exodus" and "Leviticus" seen above.
