Freemasons Frenzy Groups Possess Possessed Prophecies Prophecy Prophet Societies Gnostic
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment from a Gnostic gathering in the 1890s, where Priscille, a revered prophetess, is seen falling into a possessed frenzy as she delivers her divine messages. Surrounded by an attentive audience, the onlookers listen intently with admiration and respect, as they absorb the prophecies that flow from her lips. The Gnostics were a diverse group of spiritual and philosophical societies that emerged in the late ancient world, characterized by their belief in the divine spark within each individual and the pursuit of gnosis, or spiritual knowledge. This particular gathering appears to be a part of a Freemason lodge, as evidenced by the Masonic symbols and regalia visible in the scene. The notion of prophecy played a significant role in the Gnostic tradition, with many of their texts containing prophetic messages and visions. Priscille, as a prophet, is believed to have been a vessel for divine inspiration, allowing her to deliver messages from the divine realm to her community. The photograph's composition and lighting create a sense of otherworldliness and mysticism, further emphasizing the spiritual nature of the scene. The use of soft focus and dramatic shadows adds to the overall atmosphere, transporting us back in time to this fascinating moment in history.
