Babylon — is from the Bible when the Babylonians tried to build a tower (Tower of Babel) to reach heaven. It's symbolic for worldly, wealthy, powerful, as it was a great and powerful metropolis for its era, and it considered itself above everyone and everything else, the richest and the best place to live. But the residents were selfish, arrogant, materialistic, and thought themselves above God. The city fell. God made the people speak in different tongues and not understand each other so that they would scatter and not complete the project. This is where the word "babble" (meaning incoherent) came from. Some people consider America the modern day Babylon. Today, the word connotes evil behavior, a sinful lifestyle or city. The Babylonian Gardens in Iraq were being re-built by Saddam Hussein; some say through the Illuminati. The creating of these gardens is a sign that the Lord is coming, so says Bible prophecy. The Babylonians, as is true with many other nations, worship the sun god. "This structure —maze or labyrinth— is probably a representation of the mythological labyrinth in Knossos, Crete, used to contain the Minotaurus monster, half human, half bull. Catholic missionaries found in the middle of the eighteenth century a stone with this structure carved in a town in Nepal, which the Nepalese told them represented the plan of an old city whose ruins these missionaries had seen on their journey." (Quoted at www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/13/136.html.) In many cultures, it represents Babylon. The eight-pointed star, and variations of it, are also representative of Babylon.

Tower of Babel — If you look up this image in any religious or history book, you'll see its composition is formed by concentric circles. The Babylonians were an arrogant (see "Babylon"), perverted, sadistic civilization. They thought they were so omnipotent that in a contemptuous and conceited union they began to build a tower that would reach the heavens. Disgusted with their attitude, God made each person speak in languages unknown to each other so that the completion of the tower could not be done, and their unity dissolved. Many interpret the tower as representative of Fascism.

Druids — This ancient cult is attributed to having in some manner created Stonehenge. The Druids are also thought to be connected to the Italian horn or unicorn horn, though most relate druids to Celtic or Irish ethnicity. "The Druid Sigil is most often rendered as a circle with two vertical lines passing through it (see below). Frequently this is drawn, painted, embroidered, etc. as a wreath of leaves with two staves (or spears for the warrior types) passing through." (Quote from "Symbols of Druid Identity"; Version 2.8); Copyright © 1985, 2005 c.e., Isaac Bonewits)

Witches — Their black cape and flying prowess makes them separate from humans and are believed to be in the league with Satan, and thus are considered evil, though some adamantly claim they are white (or good) witches. Scholars of Satanism and witchcraft say there are no white witches . . . only black, and that they are very real and influential through the use of dark symbols and sinister societies, and the worship of the devil.

Moon Goddess — called Goddess Diana. The crescent moon was adopted as a sign of Islam in the 1300s. Later, a star was added to depict sovereignty and divinity. The moon is largely perceived as feminine even though its topography looks like "the man in the moon." This dates back to the myth that a man was nailed to the moon to purge himself of sin. Eclipses of the moon are considered to be evil. Other negative facets include high tidal waves, especially at night (as water is central to mythology), werewolves, and wolves baying at the moon--the darker side of humanity--vampires desiring the moon over the sun. People associate madness, bizarre behavior, lunacy (notice the word "Luna" which means moon in Latin) to the full moon and its cycle (the unending cycle of life-- birth, date, and rebirth). Moonstruck people are said to be mad, or madly in love. The Ibis is an Egyptian deity representing the soul and the moon (the feminine side) while birds of prey (see below: hawks, eagles, etc) signify the sun and the masculine side. Thus, the crescent with a star indicates worshipers of prostitution, of the unknown world (Ouija, astrology, spiritualists, fortune tellers and clairvoyants, and other psychics and gazers).

Eagle — (see also "Birds" below.) This sky god represents royalty, power, kingliness, pride, strength, courage, and a ruler; fighter of the serpent, rising sun, and protector, but the slayer of unwitting prey as it espies with its keen eyesight. There are different types of eagles, and different categories: Bald Eagle, Napoleonic Eagle, hawks (all seen as representative of the sun). Eagles serve as symbols, emblems, and other markers. A Double-headed Eagle is representative of the dialectics (opposites) of nature, and is depicted as being pulled in opposite directions. The zodiac sign for Pisces, two fish swimming in opposite directions, is the same. This symbol often is used in occultism.

Birds — Crows, Black birds/ravens are credited with evil, being bad omens, forewarning of death. Shintoism sees the black bird as a messenger of god while the Chinese regard it --when coupled with a white heron--as representative of their yin and yang (black and white, dialectical opposites, male and female). Raven = stands as a messenger of the gods; overall, it's a harbinger of illness, darkness, war, and death; Swans = feminine, beauty, grace, and the goddess Venus/Aphrodite; Doves = love and peace, Christianity; seven doves in a circle symbolize the Holy Spirit's seven gifts (God-fearing, wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, and piety); It represents the Holy Spirit entering Jesus, and its opposite is often depicted as a raven or vulture. Falcons = similar to eagles, they represent free spirit, have healing powers, strength, a sacrifice for the sun god, Re (Egyptian), and because of their acute vision, falcons also represent the all-seeing eye of Horus. While these birds are reflections of the masculine side and the son, the vulture --another bird of prey-- is seen as feminine in spite of its carnivorous menus, and the consuming of the dead.

Satan's "S" — looks like a double bolt of lightening running vertically. This was the mythical Zeus' weapon, and was worn by the SS, and means "annihilator."

Conclusion

Certainly there are elements in society that hope to keep their goals and ideology hidden, and thus use cryptic messages via symbols and numerology. Most of these emblems and numbers are right in front of us, and even more of them are ones we see on a daily basis and think nothing of their hidden meanings. Of course, sometimes a rose is just a rose. The truth is that more of the public is coming to understand the significance of symbology and how it is clandestinely used to further selective agendas created by powerful people behind closed doors. Consider "The DaVinci Code" and ""National Treasure" as just two examples of how symbols can be used. This is not to say that these two examples are true; it only testifies as how more people are becoming aware of hidden communications. Keep your eyes focused, your mind open, and you'll begin to see the secret world silently, sneakily slithering right in front of you.
