The  F O G C  Lodge
The Freemasonic Order of the Golden Centurium

By Dr. Adolf  Hemberger

A purely magical-mystical loge was founded in 1840 in Munich by some
German rich industrialists and well situated citizens. This lodge
existed until 1933. At all times only 99 persons of the male gender
could belong to this esoteric working-group or secret lodge. This
lodge basically never appeared in the open.

This lodge had nothing to do with regular Freemasonry. They didn't
have any actual degrees, ranks and levels of realisation. The
advancement to apprentice, journeyman and master was only of symbolic
character. All secrets were given during the initiation. The other
"grades" were not ranks, but only temple-stones which were provided
with a number and name. Their intention was demonological oriented
i.e. they tried, in alliance with allegedly existing negative
spiritual forces to obtain personal advantages, influence, power and
money for their members. For this reason they placed themselves under
mars-daimon "Barzabel", the old bull-god Astaroth, Belial and Asmodi
as lodge-daimon who took place number 100 in the lodge.

Similar to the Russian Roulette (also practised by the order of
assassins which also existed at the turn of the century (19th to the
20th century) in Central Europe), every five years (if at that point
of time no other lodge member had died) a balloting for "death
candidate" took place on the evening (June 23rd) before John's day.
This death candidate served as "lodge-sacrifice" for the services of
the transcendental powers in which the lodge believed. The
dead-candidate was determined by the draw of a lot or a ballot. In the
later case there were 98 white balls and 1 black ball in the ballot
box. Whoever drew the dead-lot became, according to the constitution
of the order, property of the supposed lodge daimon, i.e. he had to
consume deadly poison during the lodge meeting.

The Grandmaster of this organisation that was part of a truly
"macabre" and supersaturated society had the authority to order the
balloting three times if "fate" demanded him draw the black ball. The
fortune and capital of the "sacrificed" member came into the treasury
of the lodge. The lodge-seat, lodge-number and the serving
imagospurius  were assigned to the new member who was to be initiated
on the same day. Allegedly the lodge mastered in theory and practice
almost all black-magical techniques. Every member was bound to the
lodge-daimon by oaths, blood-rituals and mental-pacts. The most
important rituals were taken from the works of ceremonial magic (see
"Heptameron", Waite: Ceremonial Magic, Stroessner-Bachhausen:
"Freimaurerei und Magie" etc.).  Also combat-telepathy and the
ray-apparatus Tepaphone were used. (See Fraternitas Saturni and the
Order of the Mentalic Builders).
