Hargrave Jennings

Hargrave Jennings (1817-1890) was a British Freemason, Rosicrucian, author on occultism and esotericism, and amateur student of comparative religion.

Phallism and Phallicism

In several voluminous works, Jennings developed the theory that the origin of all religion is to be sought in phallic worship of the Sun and fire, which he properly called "phallism."

In addition to the works to which he affixed his own name, Jennings is thought by some resarchers to have written a number of anonymous volumes in the ptivately printed "Nature Worship and Mystical Series" series, and possibly also to have written under the pseudonym "Sha Rocco."

As Jennings made clear in several of his books, he used the word "phallic" in its non-gendered sense, meaning "having to do with the sexual organs"; thus he included worship of the female genitalia under the heading of "phallic." In later editions he reluctanly acceded to popular (although incorrect) usage and called his subject "phallicism."

ORMUS, Nano-Particle Gold & the Mysterious Society of Ormus

More importantly perhaps~ The posthumous recognition of his work "The ROSICRUCIANS," which contains some of the earliest modern references to ORMUS and nano-particle Gold (Superatoms and Quantumdot technology), can be found and read in it's entirety at http://www.sacred-texts.com/sro/rrm/index.htm as PUBLIC DOMAIN material.

The first two chapters mention early discoveries of a liquid (derived from the "oiliness of gold") that glows for hundreds and thousands of years and is used as a preservative of human remains (mummification in liquid suspension). This material is now known to modern scientists as "nano-particle gold" (also known as ORME and ORMUS and Fluorescing Quantum Dots) which does indeed emit a beautiful turquoise-blue glow without an external energy source. Research is underway to determine which of the other precious metals groups exhibit similar characteristics.

ABOVE: Fluorescence is shown from solutions of small gold nanoclusters dissolved in water. These nanoclusters behave like multi-electron artificial atoms, emitting at discrete wavelengths in the visible and infrared with the wavelength increasing with the size of the cluster. Shown from left to right are emissions from gold nanoclusters containing 5, 8 and 13 atoms. http://www.gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/newsrelease/quantumdot.htm

HARGRAVE JENNING's early reports and descriptions of ORMUS, a material which is now known to be a superconductive material that can be handled at room temperature, are astonishing! see below~ "The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries (1870)." Additional research is now underway concerning a human's ability to absorb ORMUS directly through the skin in ocean-marine environments at http://www.ormus-ocean-fast.com and especially http://homepage.mac.com/ormus.dna/ocean-fast.com/ocean-fast/data-fasting/index.html where previously mythological occult musings are becoming scientific realities. The term and practice of the Ormus Ocean Fast (TM) was inspired by the book "The Rosicrucians" by HARGRAVE JENNINGS.

JENNINGS' book,"The Rosicrucians," is well worth reading for any serious student interested in the mysterious Art of Alchemy and the Mysterious Society of Ormus and the emerging body of scientific evidence which supports JENNINGS' reports of alchemical phenomena
