The devil asked Noah's wife how he could get into the ark which was now ready. 
She could not think of a plan. But he told her that she must refuse to enter the 
ark until the water had come up, and must wait until Noah uttered the devil's 
name. She obeyed, and however much Noah called, she would not come, until at 
last he said, "Come in, you devil."

The best opinion that is current so far about the prophecy of Ham is that of 
Eisler (Weltenmantel, etc., 1910), who connects it with the literature that went 
under the name of Hermes Trismegistus. The writers of that school and the 
alchemists who came after them (we have a good many Greek alchemical writings) 
professed to see a connexion between the name of Ham (Cham) and their science of 
Chemeia: and Chem figured as an interlocutor in some of the written dialogues, 
and is mentioned under the name of "the prophet Chymes," or "Chemes." The 
symbolism employed in such circles is likely to have been strange and obscure: 
it probably conveyed in esoteric fashion their views on cosmogony.

While sleepily reading it, I got down to the part where the Egyptian magicians
told Pharoah to sleep, and they would kill Moses by morning. And I heard this
word: "This is life and death, her military on its face."

Of course, this recalls the monotheistic versus matricentric-dualistic battle,
whereof I'd heard "Jupiter respected me." And Jupiter is Ammon, the monotheist.

I am not disparaging all females therein, only those who have seen fit to
create an Isis/Baal, Venus/Cupid Mother/Child pair by suckling her infant
male upon her clitoris. That is Satan in Revelation's letter to Thyatira.

Distinguished from that is Jesus' mother Mary, whose narration run through
my hermeneutic clearly proved autocunnilingus: The Holy Spirit (Shekeinah,
which being interpreted, is the female genital) descended up her. Therefore
shall that thing born of her (I.e., her herself in the AC metamorphosis) be
called the Son of God, which by misapplication also labels Jesus who got
his Son of God name fair and square by completing the manifold parts of
the hermetic transformation formulae described in the Emerald Tablet.
