ANSWER: There are about three main sources that are heavily used in the initiate circles of the secret (“occult”) doctrine. The word “occult” means “hidden” or “secret”.I answer the question by listing out the main sources of esoteric occultism and adding some heavy historical context. So hold on to your seatbelts!(To my Christian brethren reading this: the importance for understanding these is to identify what the enemy is doing within our own ranks. The main theme for all of these occult philosophies denies the deity of Christ and uplifts Man above God in our politics and our churches which are subtly infiltrating the front and back door of Christianity.)(To my non-Christian brethren reading this: take this as an interesting read. Thanks.)***ALL other forms of occultism are subject to these writings:***I. The writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891)About her: Madam Blavatsky was a prominent Russian occultist (spiritist), philosopher, and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She was one of the most influential occult thinkers of the 19th century.Theosophy is a pantheistic philosophical-religious system (“Helena Blavatsky”, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.) and you will notice this philosophy recurring with the other two prominent figures of this list.Blavatsky’s major book The Secret Doctrine contains much channeled (a “channel” is a person through which a New Age master speaks to humankind—aka modern word for “spirit medium”) material, and reiterates the twin lies of Eden which are: [1] The Doctrine of the Immortal Soul & [2] The Doctrine of Self-Awareness for Human Divinity.Her writings are HIGHLY esteemed in esoteric circles. It was probably Satan himself, the Old Serpent, who channeled messages for her writings. Blavatsky was a contemporary of Ellen G. White and her writings are to theosophists what the writings of Ellen G. White are to the Seventh-Day Adventists.Some of her Quotes:“Lucifer represents...life...thought...progress...civilization...liberty... independence...Lucifer is the Logos [Greek word for “word” or “reason”]...the Serpent...the Savior…It is Satan who is the God of our planet and the only God.”—Helena Blavatsky, Secret Doctrine, Volume 2: 171, 225, 255 & Volume 4: 215, 216, 220, 245, 255, 533.In theosophy, the New Age movement, many world religions, and now even in global politics, Jesus Christ is being presented as nothing but a good man, and Lucifer, the Universal Cosmic Christ, is attempting to steal His position and power on Earth."...The devil is not called Darkness by the Church, whereas, in the Bible he is called the "Son of God" (see Job), the bright star of the early morning, Lucifer (see Isaiah. There is a whole philosophy of dogmatic craft in the reason why the first Archangel, who sprang from the depths of Chaos, was called the Lux (Lucifer), the "Luminous Son of the Morning," or manvantaric Dawn. He was transformed by the Church into Lucifer or Satan, because he is higher and older than Jehovah, and had to be sacrificed to the new dogma.”—Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine: The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy—Cosmogenesis, Theosophical University Press, 1999 reprint of 1888 edition ed., volume I, p. 70–71“Once that the key to Genesis is in our hands, the scientific and symbolical Kabalah unveils the secret. The Great Serpent of the Garden of Eden and the "Lord God" are identical, and so are Jehovah and Cain ONE—that Cain who is referred to in theology as the "murderer" and the LIAR to God! Jehovah tempts the King of Israel to number the people, and Satan tempts him to do the same in another place. Jehovah turns into the Fiery Serpents to bite those he is displeased with; and Jehovah informs the Brazen Serpent that heals them. These short, and seemingly contradictory, statements in the Old Testament—contradictory because the two Powers are separated instead of being regarded as the two faces of one and the same thing—are the echoes, distorted out of recognition by exoterism and theology, of universal and philosophical dogmas in Nature (bold emphases added, capitalization in original).”—Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine: The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy volume I (1888): 415.Here Blavatsky tells us that Kabbalism is Gnostic teaching.The Kabbalah is a collection of Jewish mystical teachings. Some of these doctrines are based on an esoteric interpretation of the Old Testament. Kabbalism is no longer solely Jewish, but is the basis for doctrine in many mystical Orders and New Age groups.“The Celestial Virgin which thus becomes the Mother of Gods and Devils at one and the same time; for she is the ever-loving beneficent Deity...but in antiquity and reality Lucifer or Luciferius is the name. Lucifer is divine and terrestial Light, 'the Holy Ghost' and 'Satan' at one and the same time.”—Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine volume 4: 539Blavatsky tells us the esoteric significance of the Virgin Mary. You will notice from reading their writings that Catholicism plays a huge role in their affairs.“It is curious to note too that most of the bodies which work these, such as the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, the Rite of Avignon, the Order of the Temple, Fessler's Rite, the "Grand Council of the Emperors of the East and West—"Sovereign Prince Masons," etc., etc., are nearly all the offspring of the sons of Ignatius Loyola [the Jesuit Order]. The Baron Hundt, Chevalier Ramsay, Tschoudy, Zinnendorf, and numerous others who founded the grades in these rites, worked under instructions from the General of the Jesuits. The nest where these high degrees were hatched, and no Masonic rite is free from their baleful influence more or less, was the Jesuit College of Clermont at Paris (emphasis added).”—Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, “Isis Unveiled” (London, CA: The Theosophy Company, 1968): 390.Here Blavatsky directly states to esoterics that the secret societies are controlled by the Society of Loyola (the Jesuit Order) of the Papacy.It is interesting to note the main purpose of the Jesuits:“Throughout Christendom, Protestantism was menaced by formidable foes. The first triumphs of the Reformation past, Rome summoned new forces, hoping to accomplish its destruction. At this time the order of the Jesuits was created, the most cruel, unscrupulous, and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from earthly ties and human interests, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason and conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of their order, and no duty but to extend its power…The gospel of Christ had enabled its adherents to meet danger and endure suffering, undismayed by cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to uphold the banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and the stake. To combat these forces, Jesuitism inspired its followers with a fanaticism that enabled them to endure like dangers, and to oppose to the power of truth all the weapons of deception. There was no crime too great for them to commit, no deception too base for them to practice, no disguise too difficult for them to assume. Vowed to perpetual poverty and humility, it was their studied aim to secure wealth and power, to be devoted to the overthrow of Protestantism, and the re-establishment of the papal supremacy. [235]”—White, E.G. (2015). “The Great Controversy”. Originally published in 1858. [Note on Author: She is the most translated female author in History].An example of the Jesuit Order’s influence in history is documented here: Martin White's answer to Did the Jesuit order have anything to do with the Nazi Party?"The truth is, the Jesuits of Rome have perfected Freemasonry to be their most magnificent and effective tool, accomplishing their purposes among protestants'..."—John Daniel, “The Grand Design Exposed”, (Middleton, Idaho: CHJ Publishing, 1999), p. 302According to Blavatsky, the occult world recognizes the office of Pope to be equivalent to the title of the Pagan High priest,“No apostle Peter was ever at Rome; but the Pope, seizing the sceptre of the Pontifex Maximus [a title once used for each pagan roman emperor meaning that he was the supreme pagan high priest of all the Roman gods], the keys of Janus and Kubelé, and adorning his Christian head with the cap of the Magna Mater, copied from that of the tiara of Brahmâtma, the Supreme Pontiff of the Initiates of old India, became the successor of the Pagan high priest, the real Peter-Roma, or Petroma [the tiara of the Pope is also a perfect copy of that of the Dalai-Lama of Tibet].”—Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, “Isis Unveiled” (New York: J.w. Bouton, 706 Broadway. London: Bernard Quaritch 1877), Vol 2., p.30In the collective writings of H.P. Blavatsky we read the following enlightening interview with regards to the meaning and goals of the theosophical society:“ENQUIRER [Question]. What have you to show that this is not an impossible dream; and that all the world's religions are based on the one and the same truth?THEOSOPHIST [Response]. Their comparative study and analysis. The “Wisdom-religion” was one in antiquity; and the sameness of primitive religious philosophy is proven to us by the identical doctrines taught to the Initiates during the MYSTERIES, an institution once universally diffused. “All the old worships indicate the existence of a single Theosophy anterior to them. The key that is to open one must open all; otherwise it cannot be the right key." (Eclect. Philo.)—Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, “The Key to Theosophy”, Section 1: Theosophy and the Theosophical Society — The Meaning of The NameThe Associated Press wrote: “Karl Rahner [the Jesuit theologian who spearheaded the Second Vatican Council]: originated a new religious category, 'Anonymous Christianity,' saying it embraced Buddhists, various other non-Christians and even atheists who are conscientious, upright and caring.” "Some kind of faith in God is basically there, whether they know it or not," said Rahner. "They are a part of a "Christianity that does not call itself Christianity ... 'pagan? who have received grace, but who are not aware of it."—George Cornell, “God’s Twentieth Century Giants,” Associated Press, December 22, 1988.II. The writings of Alice A. Bailey (1880–1949)About her: Like Blavatsky, Bailey was a Theosophist and another key leader in the modern New Age movement who received messages from the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul (commonly known as D. K.). D. K. was also a pupil of Koot Hoomi (one of the “Mahatmas”).She and her husband Foster Bailey, a 32-degree Freemason, started the “World Goodwill” organization—an official non-governmental organization within the United Nations.Bailey is the founder of the Lucis Trust organization. The Bailey sisters originally named it the “Lucifer Publishing Company” prior to the name change in 1925 (“The Esoteric Meaning of Lucifer”, Lucistrust.org).Bailey's famous writings include Problems of Humanity and The Reappearance of Christ which writings were intended to prepare the world for a universal government, one-world religion (especially with ecumenism), and universal acceptance of a false-Christ figure that would enable such world unity ("Purpose and Objectives," LucisTrust.org).Her mentor D.K. (Djwhal Khul) also said that secret societies such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati would infiltrate the economies of the world, and prepare the great religious movements for unification, with acceptance of the bishop of Rome as the supreme religious ruler of the 20th century. Information as to how this should be achieved would be channeled by the Ascended Masters through selected individuals who would keep governments informed and allow for the planning of strategies.Pertaining to the Baileys' initiative, “World Goodwill”, Dwhjal Khul speaks of the necessity of goodwill, as do Christian and Catholic leaders of today. In fact, the Pope repeatedly calls on "all people of good will" to follow his commands—in his encyclical.Some of her Quotes:“Evidence of the growth of the human intellect along the needed receptive lines [for the preparation of the New Age] can be seen in the "planning" of various nations and in the efforts of the United Nations to formulate a world plan...From the very start of this unfoldment, three occult factors have governed the development of all these plans.”—Alice Bailey, Discipleship in the New Age volume 2 (Lucis Press, 1955): 35.“There will not be any dissociation between the Universal [“Catholic” means “Universal”] Church, the Sacred Lodge of all true Masons and the inner circles of the esoteric societies...In this way, the goals and work of the United Nations shall be solidified and a new Church of God, led by all the religions and by all of the spiritual groups, shall put an end to the great heresy of separateness.”—Alice A. Bailey, The Externalization of the Hierarchy (New York: Lucis Trust):476.“The New World Religion must be based upon those truths [Right human relations, peace] which have stood the test of the ages...they are steadily taking shape in human thinking, and for them the United Nations fights.”—Ibid: 404.“The Tibetan has asked me to make clear that when he is speaking of the Christ he is referring to His official name as head of the Hierarchy. The Christ works for all men irrespective of their faith; He does not belong to the Christian world any more than to the Buddhist or Mohammedan or any other faith. There is no need for any man to join the Christian church in order to be affiliated with Christ. The requirements are to love your fellowmen, lead a disciplined life, recognise the divinity in all faiths and all beings and rule your daily life with Love.”—Alice Bailey, The Reappearance of the Christ: 558."For the Son of God became man so that we might become God." "The Only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man might make men gods [129]…Marvel and rejoice: we have become Christ [228]."—Catechism of the Catholic Church (New York: Image Books, 1995), p. 129, 228“Within the United Nations is the germ and seed of a great international and meditating, reflective group—a group of thinking and informed men and women in whose hands lies the destiny of humanity. This is largely under the control of many fourth ray disciples, if you could but realise it, and their point of meditative focus is the intuitional or buddhic plane—the plane upon which all hierarchical activity is today to be found.”—Alice Bailey, Discipleship in the New Age volume 2 (Lucis Press, 1955): 220In this context, a “disciple” is an aspirant who has been accepted by an “Ascendant Master” who are also called, “New Age Masters”.“The major required preparation [for the coming of the false Christ] is a world at peace; however, that peace must be based on an educated goodwill, which will lead inevitably to right human relations, and therefore to the establishment of lines of light between nation and nation, religion and religion, group and group and man and man.”—Alice Bailey, The Reappearance of the Christ: 641.Remember that the "right human relations" she discusses here are not based on love but on conformity. Again, Bailey advocates for a one-world religion where all religions are equal which means that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is equal to all other pagan gods/goddesses. It is a unity of faith through compromise.III. The writings of Albert Pike (1809–1891)About him: Albert Pike was the 33rd Degree Grandmason of Scottish Rite Freemasonry who wrote the Masonic book, “Morals and Dogma”, another channeled book.Some of his Quotes:“The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is Yahweh (GOD) reversed; for Satan is not a black god, but a negation of God...the Kabala imagined Him to be a "most occult light."—Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Prepared for the Supreme Council of the Thirty-Third Degree, for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, and Published by Its Authority (Richmond, Virginia: L.H. Jenkins, 1871, Reprinted 1944): 102, 704.“Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion: and its teachings are instruction in religion...This is the true religion revealed to the ancient patriarchs; which Masonry has taught for many centuries, and which it will continue to teach as long as time endures (emphasis added).”—Ibid: 213-214.“The Kabalah, the Gnostics, and the Schools, are the religion and Philosophy of Masonry...All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the Kabalah and return to it. Everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of all the illuminati, Jacob Boehme, Swedenborg, Saint Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah, all the Masonic associations owe to it their Secrets and their Symbols (emphases added).”—Ibid: 27, 744.“The Occult Science of the Ancient Magi was concealed under the shadows of the Ancient Mysteries: it was imperfectly revealed or rather disfigured by the Gnostics: it was guessed at under the obscurities that cover the pretended crimes of the Templars; and it is found enveloped in enigmas that seem impenetrable, in the Rites of the Highest Masonry.”—Ibid: 839.“The Holy Kabalah, or tradition of the children of Seth, was carried from Chaldea by Abraham, taught to the Egyptian priesthood by Joseph, recovered and purified by Moses, concealed under symbols in the Bible, revealed by the Saviour to Saint John, and contained, entire, under hieratic figures analogous to those of all antiquity, in the Apocalypse of that Apostle...Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you can see, to the Kabalah. In that ancient and little understood medley of absurdity and philosophy, the Initiate will find the source of many doctrines.”—Ibid: 97, 741.“The end of the drama is well known, and how Jacques de Molai and his fellows perished in the flames. But before his execution, the Chief of the doomed Order organized and instituted what afterward came to be called the Occult, Hermetic, or Scottish Masonry. In the gloom of his prison, the Grand Master created four Metropolitan Lodges, at Naples for the East, at Edinburg for the West, at Stockholm for the North, and at Paris for the South [The initials of his name, JBM found in the same order in the first three Degrees, are but one of the many internal and cogent proofs that such was the origin of modern Free-Masonry].”—Ibid: 820.“The Templars, like all other Secret Orders and Associations, had TWO DOCTRINES, one concealed and reserved for the Masters, which was [1] Johannism; the other public, which was the [2] Roman Catholic. Thus they deceived the adversaries whom they sought…The Templars were unintelligent and therefore unsuccessful Jesuits.”—IBid: 817, 819.Pike here states that secret societies have a double-doctrine structure. The true doctrine is revealed to the initiates while the false doctrine is revealed to the “goy” or the “uninitiated”.“The Blue Degrees are but the outer court of portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry. The whole body of the Royal and Sacerdotal Art [pertaining to a priesthood] was hidden so carefully, centuries since, in the High Degrees (emphasis added) as that it is even yet impossible to solve many of the enigmas which they contain. It is well enough for the mass of those called Masons, to imagine that all is contained in the Blue Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive them will labor in vain, and without any true reward violate his obligations as an Adept. Masonry is the veritable Sphinx, buried to the head in the sands heaped round it by the ages.”—Ibid: 819."Masonry, like all the religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them and to draw them away from it. Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it. So masonry jealously conceals its secrets, and intentionally leads conceited interpreters astray.”—Ibid: 104–105“The devil is the personification of Atheism or Idolatry. For the Initiates, this is not a Person, but a Force, created for good, but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of Liberty or Free Will. They represent this Force, which presides over the physical generation, under the mythological and horned form of the God Pan; thence came the he-goat of the Sabbat, brother of the Ancient Serpent, and the Light-bearer or Phosphor, of which the poets have made the false Lucifer of the legend.”—Ibid: 102.“It has often been charged… that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation and even to make it her boast…The Great God Pan is not really dead, he is baptized”.—”The Story of Catholicism” p.37.“We must create a super rite, which will remain unknown, to which we will call those Masons of high degree (30th and above), whom we shall select. With regards to our brothers in Masonry, these men must be pledged to the strictest secrecy. Through this supreme rite, we will govern all Freemasonry which will become the one international center, the more powerful, because its direction will be unknown.”—Albert Pike, Letter to the Head of the Order of the Illuminati, Guiseppe Mazzini (January 22, 1870).M.P. Hall, a member of the Scottish Rite and an occult mystic, wrote:“The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine illumination of his lodge that as a Mason his religion must be universal: Christ, Buddha or Mohammed, the name means little, for he recognizes only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows before every altar, whether in temple. mosque or cathedral, realizing with his truer understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth.”—Manly Palmer Hall, The Lost keys of Freemasonry (Richmond, Virginia: Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, Inc., 1976): 65.This is the same sentiment that is being used in the ecumenical movement and the push towards one-world religion. Notice that Blavatsky, Bailey, and Pike all adhere to this agenda.Palmer also wrote,“The serpent is the symbol and prototype of the Universal Savior, who redeems the worlds by giving creation of the knowledge of itself and the realization of good and evil.” (The Secret Teachings of All Ages (Philosophical Research Press): lxxxviii:)Furthermore, in The Lost keys of Freemasonry, Palmer wrote,"Man is a God in the Making..." (p.92).Another Masonic writer wrote,"Be still — and know — that I am God... 'THAT I AM GOD' — the final recognition of All in All, the unity of the Self with the Cosmos — the cognition of the DIVINITY OF THE SELF!"—George H. Steinmetz, "The Lost Word: Its Hidden Meaning (New York: Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, 1953) p. 241-242[If you can remember the “Twin Lies of the Eden”, Steinmetz is reiterating #2]“That which we must say to a crowd is—We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition. To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees—The Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay whose deeds prove his cruelty, perdify and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also god. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods: darkness being necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay [the Hebrew God of the Bible], the God of Darkness and Evil.”—Albert Pike, "Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World" (July 14, 1889), as recorded by Abel Clarin de La Rive, La Femme et l'Enfant dans la Franc-maçonnerie Universelle (1894): 588.Notice what the prominent occultist, Eliphas Levi, has to say:"What is more absurd and more impious than to attribute the name of Lucifer to the devil, that is, to personified evil. The intellectual Lucifer is the spirit of intelligence and love; it is the paraclete [an advocate]; it is the Holy Spirit, where the physical Lucifer is the great angel of universal magnetism."—Eliphas Levi, The Mysteries of Magic, a Digest of the Writings of Eliphas Levi, p. 428 [Fun Fact: Eliphas Levi was initiated into the Freemasonry at the Lodge Rose du Parfait Silence of the Grand Orient of France on 14 March 1861 in Paris]Arthur Edward Waite, another 33-degree Freemason, wrote:“First Conjuration Addressed to Emperor Lucifer. Emperor Lucifer, Master and Prince of Rebellious Spirits, I adjure thee to leave thine abode, in whatsoever quarter of the world it may be situated and come hither to communicate with me...I command and adjure thee, Emperor Lucifer, as the representative of the mighty living God, and by the power of Emanuel, His only Son...”—Arthur Edward Waite, The Book Of Black Magic (Weiser Books, 2004): 244-245.FINAL THOUGHTS:The secret occult doctrine of all the ages can be summarized by the Stone Mason’s ultimate goal to reconstruct the symbolic Tower of Babel in the form of the New Age in defiance to the Judgement of God in Genesis where God had sought to destroy the efforts of Satan to easily rule the world, by dividing the world into nations, after Adam had given up his dominion of Earth to the Serpent of Old during the Fall.George Steiner (a literary critic, essayist, philosopher, novelist, and educator) in his book “After Babel: Aspects of Language and Translation” [published by the Oxford University Press in 1975] puts it this way:“The Kabbalah, in which the problem of Babel and the nature of language is so insistently examined, knows of a day of redemption on which translation will no longer be necessary. All human tongues will have re-entered the translucent immediacy of that primal, lost speech shared by God and Adam. We have seen the continuation of this vision in theories of linguistic monogenesis and universal grammar. But the Kabbalah also knows of a more esoteric possibility. It records conjecture, no doubt heretical, that there shall come a day when translation is not only unnecessary but inconceivable. Words will rebel against man. They will shake off the servitude of meaning. They will ‘become only themselves, and as dead stones in our mouths’. In either case, men and women will have been freed forever from the burden and the splendour of the ruin at Babel. But which, one wonders, will be the greater silence?”//Image: This is the South African version of the “Celestial Virgin” Mary, who stands on a tower resembling many the artistic depictions of the Tower of Babel (spiral shaped), the Queen of the 'New Babylon'.Vatican Insider, Jesuit Priest Dr. Malachi Martin said that, based on a message of Mary in a personal visitation, John Paul believes,“There will come a day, when the heart of Islam – already attuned to the figures of Christ and of Christ’s mother Mary – will receive the illumination it needs… a second Fatima… in which they will recognize him as God’s vicar on Earth … Then with fellow travelers like the Church of England, the Episcopal Church, and others of like mind, the pope could be worshipped as the infallible holy father by over one-half of the world’s population.”—“The Prophetic Observer” August 1995, p. 1According to the Author of “A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and of Cognate Instituted Mysteries: Their Rites, Literature and History” (New York: Weathervane Books. 1970). Vol. 1, p. 61-62“As regards Masonry, Babel of Course represented a Masonic Enterprise and early expositors reaped full benefit form the fact. They remembered that the people who were of ‘one language and one speech’ journeyed from the East to the West, like those who have tried and proved as Master Masons. When they reached an abiding-place in the land of Shinar, it is affirmed that they dwelt therein as Noachidae, being the fist characteristic name of Masons.
