Ammishaddai, Captain of the children of Dan, who placed the serpent
killer, the phoenix, on the crest of Dan. 729
In Chapter 16 we shall see the importance of Ahiezer son of
Ammishaddai’s initials AA in secret Rosicrucian symbolism. Another
important AA archetype existed in the tribe of Dan at the time of Exodus.
As we have seen, this was Bezaleel’s fellow artisan, Aholiab son of
Ahisamach. 730
In the context of the enigmatic Rosicrucian thirty third degree, it
is interesting to note that the city of Dan and the nearby sacred Mount
Hermon both lie at approximately 33° longitude and 33° latitude
according to the French Zero Meridian in Paris. In 1884, by convention
the Greenwich Zero Meridian replaced the traditional French Zero
Meridian, which moved the longitude of Mount Hermon to 35.5°.
The existence in Rosicrucianism of the Danite philosophy, the
interpretation of ancient prophecies about the Second coming of Jesus,
and the radical philosophy of man establishing God’s kingdom on earth
before the Messiah returns, suggest an interesting conclusion. This is that
John Dee’s Elizabethan Rosicrucianism carries forward the ideals of
Monarchial British Israelism into a plan to fulfill prophecies of assisting a
Danite Messiah judge Judah from his seat at Mount Hermon. Fortunately,
the modern organization does not seem to carry this into the pitfalls and
racial bigotry of Radical British Israelism.
We now turn to examine the philosophical building blocks of
hermetic thought through the history of the great Corpus Hermeticum.
