The 'Taxil Hoax' is a ruse invented by modern American Freemasonry which is cited when outsiders ask questions about Masonic writings or teachings about Freemasonry and Satanism.

'Leo Taxil' is the pen name of Gabriel Jogand, born 23 March 1853 in Marseilles France. Mr. Jogand (Taxil) was a Freemason in the Grand Orient of France who was a member of the Paris Lodge 'The Temple of Friends of French Honor'. Jogand earned his living as a prolific and notorious anti-clerical propagandist and pornographer.

Freemason Jogand's writings included titles such as; 'The Sacred Cannibals', 'The Priest's Testicles', 'Letter from the Devil to the Pope concerning the Suppression of Menstruation in Girl's Communities', 'Extraordinary Correspondence of the Ecclesiastical Fuckers', 'The Whores of the Third Estate', and 'The Solicitors of the Fourth', 'It's We Who whip those dirty Scamps', 'Shooting the Crows', 'The Sacred Blunders', 'Critical Review of Superstition', 'The Scoffer', 'His Holiness the Police', 'The Crimes of the Inquisition', 'Down with the Clergy', and 'The Amusing Bible'

Jogand founded the magazine 'The Anti-Clerical' and in 1881 'The Anti-Clerical League'.

Nowhere in any of Jogands writings does there appear any quotations about Albert Pike, the Supreme Commander of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction U.S.A.'s, letter to the Supreme Councils of the world. In fact this quotation comes from a book written by a respected Occult Researcher and Author - Edith Starr Miller.

The following quotation is taken from Edith Starr Miller's ('Lady Queensborough') Occult Theocracy (Published originally in 1933 e.v., later published by the Christian Book Club of America.), pp. 220 - 221.

The theological dogma of Albert Pike is explained in the 'Instructions' issued by him, on July 14, 1889, to the 23 Supreme Councils of the world and have been recorded by A. C. De La Rive in La Femme et l'Enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle (page 588).

'That which we must say to the 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 initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the of purity of the Luciferian doctrine.

'If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy, 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 light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive.

'In analogical and universal dynamics one can only lean on that which will resist. Thus the universe is balanced by two forces which maintain its equilibrium: the force of attraction and that of repulsion. These two forces exist in physics, philosophy and religion. And the scientific reality of the divine dualism is demonstrated by the phenomena of polarity and by the universal law of sympathies and antipathies. That is why the intelligent disciples of Zoroaster, as well as, after them, the Gnostics, the Manicheans and the Templars have admitted, as the only logical metaphysical conception, the system of the two divine principles fighting eternally, and one cannot believe the one inferior in power to the other.

'Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic 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 God of Darkness and Evil.'"
