"S.I. stands for "Superieur Inconnu", "Souverain Juge" (title of the Elus Cohen), Société des Initiés", "Sociéte Inconnu", "Sage Inconnu", and some even claimed these initials stood for the "Sociéte de Jésus"

Dear Craig

Well spotted. I have come across that page many times in my researches, but never read the whole thing, as it is practically book length, very dense & easy to lose one's place if reading over several sessions. One that I had put on the backburner. Leo had mentioned the Martinist links to the Jesuits in some of his interviews between October 2006 & April 2008. Possibly even the first one with Greg Szymanski. We would probably all be wise to read that whole thing & then do a search for "Leo Zagami Martinists Jesuits".

I have included the original URL for the article that you link to below & copied out the whole section ("1948 Ordre Martiniste Recifie") that it was excerpted from. Took me quite a while just to find it. Without context & the original source quoted - this being the article "Du Martinisme et des ordres Martinistes" (published in 1950 in the review "Le Symbolisme"), Jules Boucher, Grand Secretary of the OTM/OMT/TMO (Traditional Martinist Order) - it's authority is more nebulous. However with this information we are on firmer ground.

I have skimmed through the section below entitled "1931 Ordre Martiniste Traditionelle" & it is well worth reading this section also (not copied below, but available at the same linked URL, as it gives the links between the European Martinists & the American AMORC Rosicrucians. Zagami always maintained that the Martinists & the Rosicrucians were considered to be the "Illuminati of the Illuminati". In fact it had crossed my mind over the past couple of years that if Zagami was nothing more than a delusional fraud (the "lone nutter" theory, which I don't buy at all) that he might have studied such pieces, as well as a number of others of a similar nature, as well as key esoteric texts & studied the P2, etc, & then gone public with a story that wrote him into the picture. The more plausible scenario is that he was correct in stating the specific links between the Illuminati Masons & the Jesuits (which I believe were accurate) & he was selected to discredit the whole thing (i.e. all of his info from the first year & a half of his going public, his "Illuminati Confessions" period) all along. This latter possibility I am still not convinced of, although he may have been under mind control, a situation which would explain his abrupt changes since (the first being in April 2008 when he announced his return to the Illuminati, albeit ostensibly as a "reformer" & then his more recent & more spectacular, apparently stage-managed, self-sabotaged, self-discrediting campaign).

I have also included below my comparison of three very significant events of 1754 that highlights some of the origins & synchronicities of Martinism with its Catholic & Jesuit connections.

1754: RITE OF PERFECTION (JESUITS’ CLERMONT COLLEGE, PARIS), SCOTTISH JUDGES (MARTINEZ AT MONTPELLIER) & STRICT OBSERVANCE RITE (BARON HUND, GERMANY) – JUST A COINCIDENCE! http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/mackeys_encyclopedia/p.htm "PERFECTION, RITE OF In 1754, the Chevalier de Bonneville established a Chapter of the advanced Degrees at Paris, in the College of Jesuits of Clermont, hence called the Chapter of Clermont. The system of Freemasonry he there practiced received the name of the Rite of Perfection, or Rite of Heredom. The College of Clermont was, says Rebold (History of Three Grand Lodges, page 46) the asylum of the adherents of the House of Stuart, and hence the Rite is to some extent tinctured with Stuart Freemasonry It consisted of twenty-five Degrees as follows: 1. Apprentice 2. Fellow Craft 3. Master 4. Secret Master 5. Perfect Master 6. Intimate Secretary 7. Intendant of the Building 8. Provost and Judge 9. Elect of Nine 10. Elect of Fifteen 11. Illustrious Elect, Chief of the Twelve Tribes 12. Grand Master Architect 13- Royal Arch 14. Grand, Elect, Ancient, Perfect Master 15. Knight of the Sword 16. Prince of Jerusalem 17. Knight of the East and West 18. Rose Croix Knight 19. Grand Pontiff 20. Grand Patriarch 21. Grand Master of the Key of Freemasonry 22. Prince of Libanus 23. Sovereign Prince Adept Chief of the Grand Consistory 24. Illustrious Knight Commander of the Black and White Eagle 25. Most Illustrious Sovereign Prince of Freemasonry, Grand Knight, Sublime Commander of the Royal Secret. It will be seen that the Degrees of this Rite are the same as those of the Council of Emperors of the East and West, which was established four years later, and to which the Chapter of Clermont gave way. Of course, they are the same, so far as they go, as those of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite which succeeded the Council of Emperors. The distinguishing principle of this Rite is, that Freemasonry was derived from Templarism, and that consequently every Freemason was a Knight Templar. It was there that the Baron von Hund was initiated, and from it, through him, proceeded the Rite of Strict Observance; although he discarded the Degrees and retained only the Templar theory." http://www.freemasonrytoday.net/14/p22b.php "In 1754, Martines de Pasqually, a man said to have travelled the east in search of wisdom (the Rosenkreuz archetype) set up an order called the Scottish Judges in Montpellier. Six years later, in Bordeaux, he established the Cabala-influenced Order of Elect Cohens, of which Order Pasqually was Grand Sovereign. The Elect Cohens practised a form of ceremonial magic: a combination of the Catholic Mass with the works of Renaissance occultists such as Henry Cornelius Agrippa. Pasqually claimed to be in contact with unearthly beings. He held an animist conception of the universe, a universe pulsating with life on many planes or in ulterior dimensions to those experienced by human beings ordinarily. His ceremonies were regulated by astrological considerations. According to Pasqually, “The bodies of the universe are all vital organs of eternal life.” The Moon and the Sun figured prominently in his system. Equinoxes were chosen as propitious times for important rituals, to encourage good spirits. Daily Invocation There was a daily invocation wherein the Elect Cohen would trace a circle on the floor, at the centre of which was inscribed the letter ‘W’ below a candle. The Cohen then stood in the circle and, holding a light to read the invocation, would begin: “O Kadoz, O Kadoz, who will enable one to become as I was originally when a spark of divine creation? Who will enable me to return in virtue and eternal spiritual power?” The purpose of the invocations and evocations was ultimately to open communication with what Pasqually described as the “Active and Intelligent Cause”. In 1772, Pasqually sailed to Santo Domingo in the Caribbean, leaving the Assemblée in the hands of his followers Bacon and Jean-Baptiste Willermoz. Pasqually never returned, dying in Port-au-Prince in 1774. Bacon then joined the Grand Orient, a mainstream French masonic order (founded in 1772), while Willermoz (1730-1824) not only joined the Strict Observance Rite (founded in 1754 by Baron Hund) but also founded several influential orders of his own: the high-degree masonic order of Chevaliers Bienfaisants de la Cité Sainte, also known as the Rite Écossais Rectifié and also the Chevaliers de l’Aîgle Noir et Rose-Croix, a rite containing strong alchemical and neo-Rosicrucian themes. According to Jackson, it was possibly in the year 1765 that Willermoz completed a Rose-Croix ritual which apparently forms the basis of that practised today as the 18th degree of the Ancient & Accepted Rite. It would have been helpful if a copy of Willermoz’s ritual appeared in the book next to that currently practised (though there are international variations), but that would be too much to expect from a member of an order sworn to secrecy. And here lies one of the problems of the book. …" For more research on the ties between outright Occultism & the covertly occultic Roman Catholic Church (e.g. the Spanish Catholic – not Portuguese Jew as has been alleged – Martinez de Pasqually’s Masonic Elect Cohens & Augustinian Friars in Paris, 1765 – also note Pasqually’s Charles Stuart Masonic patent, inherited from his father), see: http://www.gnostique.net/initiation/pasqually.htm (Note: Martinez de Pasqually was the teacher of Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, founder of what became known as Martinism) For more on the Rite of Strict Observance’s establishment in Germany in 1754 see: http://books.google.com/books?id=DuxL69MOe...TA0bUC4Is&hl=en (P. 246 of Raffaella Faggionato’s “A Rosicrucian Utopia in Eighteenth-century Russia”)

1948 Ordre Martiniste Rectifié Due to the new developments within the ‘Ordre Martiniste Traditionnel’ after the Second World War, many members left the O.T.M. One of these members who left the OTM was the Grand Secretary of the order, Jules Boucher ( Phalgus, 1902-1955). Boucher was initiated by Robert Ambelain on April 4, 1942. Boucher apparently also received an initiation by Augustin Chaboseau (date unknown). In 1922 Boucher started his occult carreer with Jean-Julien Champagne, who took Boucher and Eugène Canseliet on as students (Alchemy). This group of students would become known as ‘Les Frères d'Héliopolis’, the Brotherhood of Heliopolis. This brotherhood studied the works of the great Alchemists and was allegedly led by the legendary "Fulcanelli". This group, however, was limited to Champagne, Canseliet, Sauvage, Jules Boucher, and a couple of others. Champagne and Canseliet were both directly connected with Fulcanelli's book "Le Mystere des Cathedrals". Another group Boucher was involved with, was a group called Le Grand Lunaire. The Sigil of the Grand Lunaire was the Baphometis. According to Robert Ambelain the group was also involved in Black Magic. Besides Boucher, men like Champagne and René Schwaller de Lubicz were members at one time. Just for the record, when Jules Boucher left the Grand Lunaire the Gnostic Bishop of Lyon seems to have performed an exorcism on Boucher (Jean Rosselot, O.V. de L.Milosz , Paris 1955 ). In the beginning of the 40's Boucher published the "Manuel de Magie Practique" (Niclaus, 1941- Dervy 1953 new edition). Boucher also founded an association which promoted the restoration of traditionnal Occultism : L’ A.R.O.T. In 1945 the "Les Amis de Saint-Martin" was founded, a group which Boucher highly respected and of which Boucher himself is said to have been probably a member. This claim is of special value to our research. As stated before, the ‘Association Les Amis de Saint-Martin’ was founded by Robert Amadou, Paul Laugénie and Edouard Gesta in September 1945 as a possible alternative to the resurrected O.M.T. of Augustin Chaboseau. It is claimed that Boucher decide to leave the Traditional Martinist Order because he did not agree on a possible Grandmastership of Jean Chaboseau. Besides, as stated in the chapter on the O.M.T., Boucher suspected that Jeanne Canudo, a member of i.a. 'La Fraternité des Polaires', belonged to the secretive and controversial ‘Mouvement Synarchique d’Empire’, M.S.E.: It is claimed that Jean Chaboseau wanted to appoint Canudo as a member of the Supreme Council. Jean Chaboseau’s Grandmastership and Canudo’s possible membership of the Martinist Supreme Council were the reasons for Jules Boucher’s decision to leave the O.M.T. But could it be that Boucher already doubted the O.M.T in 1945, in view of his possible membership within the "Les Amis de Saint-Martin"? (of course, this is a mere speculation) In 1948 Jules Boucher founded ‘L’Ordre Martiniste Rectifié’. The O.M.R* consisted, to a large extend, of former members of the O.M.T.Boucher's Martinist rite consisted of one, single Degree ; the degree of SAGE INITIÉ (Originally, the Martinist initiation only consists of one degree, instead of the usual three or four degrees). The ' curriculum' of the O.M.R was based on the works and doctrine of L.C. de Saint-Martin. It was expected from members (and demanded from S:::I::: ) that they had a thorough knowledge of the works of Saint-Martin. According to Boucher, the meaning of Sage Initié, "the Wise Adept", corresponded on a profound level with the traditional teachings of Saint-Martin. "S.I. stands for "Superieur Inconnu", "Souverain Juge" (title of the Elus Cohen), Société des Initiés", "Sociéte Inconnu", "Sage Inconnu", and some even claimed these initials stood for the "Sociéte de Jésus" ! "The "Ordre Martiniste Rectificié" calls the S.I. the "Wise Adept" ("Sage Initié"), or better : "One who walks the Path of Wisdom". "The "Ordre Martiniste Rectificié" is a spiritual fraternal order linking all those who freely admit the need for an individual and collective Redemption based on the lessons of Louis Claude de Saint-Martin. In accordance with the teachings of Saint-Martin the O.M.R acknowledges the truth of the Fall of mankind and affirms the need for Reconciliation of Man with his Principle (the Adept on the Path of Wisdom). The O.M.R respects all forms of the Tradition which are basically fragments of the One, primeordial Tradition" ( freely translated from Boucher's "Du Martinisme et des ordres Martinistes", 1950 ). In 1950 Boucher published an article in the review "Le Symbolisme" called "Du Martinisme et des Ordres Martinistes". The article is a general survey on the 'Martinezism' of de Pasqually and the 'Martinism' of Saint-Martin. The intention of this publication was to draw attention to the O:::M:::R::: Boucher's order was closely related to ‘L’Eglise Gnostique Universelle’ (Universal Gnostic Church). The O.M.R also intended to "reconnect" Martinism with Masonry. In his survey "Du Martinisme et des Ordres Martinistes" Boucher emphasizes that an order without a structure is not viable. According to Boucher in the same article, it is its structure what Masonry gives its vitality and permanence. Therefore, thus Boucher, the Rectified Martinist Order should be build on "a Masonic structure" in which the individual is respected, an aspect which characterizes "true Martinism". At the same time, without losing sight of its flexibility, this structure should also possess a kind of rigidity to "protect" the order's "cohesion". Boucher emphasizes on the structure of Masonic organizations which he intended to use as a blue-print for his own organization. He clearly stated in his survey ""Du Martinisme et des Ordres Martinistes" (1950) that the O.M.R should avoid to make the mistake Papus and Tedér had made, by transforming their Martinist rituals into copies of Masonic ones. In spite of Boucher's intentions and "enthusiasm" Masonry did not respond. French Masonry, being in majority "hostile" towards Christianity, did not support Boucher's efforts. Jules Boucher had not appointed a successor. When he died in 1955 the order declined. Jules Boucher was also a Mason, initiated during the occupation, who published an excellent title on the symbolism of Freemasonry in 1948, "La Symbolique Maçonnique" L' A.R.O.T. "Association pour la Rénovation de l’Occultisme Traditionnel" ‘L’ A.R.O.T.’, "Association for the Restoration of Traditional Occultism" was established in the 1930's, its goal being the study and implementation of 'Initiatic Sciences'. L’ A.R.O.T. was a non-religious organization professing the "broadest tolerance and respected all forms of belief". Jules Boucher (alias Leo Ruber, alias Julius Bellifer, alias J.B. 1902 - 1955) co-founded the group in 1935 with i.a. Mrs.Maryse Choisy . Madame Choisy directed the succesful occult magazine ‘Votre Bonheur’. Within the bosom of this magazine the association was led by three members – Robert Ambelain, Jules Boucher, and Georges Clouzet. ‘L A.R.O.T.’ was accomodated at 15, rue Lord Byron in Paris. The members first went to a probationary period in which a "general education" was given. After the probationary-training 'serious members" were selected to specialize on a deeper study of a certain branch of the teachings. The group had a low membership with an emphasis on quality and diversity. In 1941 the group had to stop its activities due to prohibation of all Order activities by the pro German Vichy regime. After the War the group continued its activities under the leadership of the above mentioned men (except for Clouzet who was replaced by Robert Caborgne. The subjects of the teachings of ‘L’ A.R.O.T. were ; Esotericsm, Religion Hindu Doctrines, Yoga Alchemy, Spagyrie, Hermeticism Astrology (general, Cabalistic) Methods of Psychic Development Dowsing, Clairvoyance Magic, Hypnotism, Magnetism THE SEAL OF ‘L’ A.R.O.T.’ Three circles is the symbol of traditional magic protection. The letters ‘A.R.O.T.’ are placed in a circle, representing various occult ideas / symbolic words such as : T.A.R.O. , the Tarot. "Les Arcanes Initiatiques" ("Mysteries of Initiation"), the Sword and the Wand, in the center, The Cup and the Pentacle, symbolized by the Circle. The Sword corresponds to Fire, the Wand corresponds to Air, the Cup to Water, the Pentacle to Earth. R.O.T.A., in Latin, the wheel of becoming. A and O, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end At the Center, Dagger and Wand, the attributes of the Magus. They correspond to the two poles, "Active" and "Passive", "Attraction" and "Repulsion", COAGULA-SOLVE. The Wand concentrades and condenses the "fluids" and the Dagger disperses and dissolves. T.O.R.A., in Hebrew the Torah represents the Law. It's the Law of Evolution. In the Center the "Croix de Saint-André" (St.Andrew's Cross), "X" is the Greek letter Khi, initial letter of the words Koné, Krusos and Kronos, the Crucible, Gold and Time, the unknown triad of the "Grand Oeuvre". The Cross is the Hieroglyph, reduced to a simple expression, of the emanated luminous radiations of a single hearth. A.R.O.T., the synthesis of the three protective Magic Circles. The two "Roses+Croix" placed in the circle are reversed, one black the other white, they are the symbol of Involution and Evolution, just like the "Seal of Solomon", which appears in the second circle.
