escue myths shows their difficulty in completely breaking away from
their Semitic agricultural background.
The importance of castration is a sign that covenants were cut, not
made. 303 The contracting parties severed an animal in two and walked
between the pieces that this may happen to me when I break this
covenant. 304 This is why circumcision is reserved for a special promise.
The separation of the foreskin cuts the covenant that appeases the Mother
Goddess’ demand for the sacred marriage with its ritual castration, death
and rebirth. The Goddess demands every man’s phallus. 305 Jewish
women offered the foreskin as a substitute for their husband’s phallus.
For example, the substitute sacrifice of circumcision even saved Moses: 306
And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him
[Moses], and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and
cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, surely a
bloody husband art thou to me. So he let him go: then she said, a bloody
husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
It is a custom observed by the British Royal Family who called
upon the Rabbi Jacob Snowman, the respected Mohel of the London
Jewish community, to perform the religious rite of Brit Milah with Prince
Charles at Buckingham Palace. This is also the Covenant of
Circumcision.
Israelite priests would sprinkle the blood of the covenant on oathtakers
to make a promise binding. 307 This blood came from an animal
sacrificed on the altar. The Male and Baka tribes of southwestern
Ethiopia still slaughter a beast to mark a contract. Blood from the
sacrificial animal smears the man who cuts the covenant. In emulation of
the combined importance of cutting a promise and involving the male
genitals, an Arab promise becomes a serious contract of honour by the
oath-taker placing his hand on the bare inner thigh of the person to whom
he is making the pledge. Some older Masonic rituals mirrored this form
of oath with the initiate placing his hand between the hands of person
receiving the obligation.
The Bible provides other grand stories of the sacrifice myth.
Moses died before Joshua received the fertile land of Israel. King David
similarly died before Solomon brought prosperity to the land with the
building of the Temple. In the same way, the wounded and impotent
Fisher King of the Holy Grail finally passes to his rest before prosperity
returns to his wasting land.
