The first image Represents the horned god of witchcraft, Pan or Cernunnos. Note the thumb under the fingers and given by the right hand. The next image is a sign of recognition between those in the Occult. When pointed at someone it is meant to place a curse. Note the thumb over the fingers and given by the left hand.
Here's worshippers of Satan at a Satanic Mass. Notice the hands (AND NO, THIS ISN'T A UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN GAME WHERE THE FANS GO "HOOK 'EM HORNS"):
Here's Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan. His female followers are fun dates, but have hearts of stone and are "high-maintenance." Notice the left hand:
Here's Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue. Again, notice the left hand:
And here's our "Christian" U.S. President with the same left hand gesture:
And another shot of our three-pointer shooter president:
And Bill Clinton:
And Dick Cheney (AND THIS WAS IN WASHINGTON D.C. AT THE PRESIDENT'S INAUGURATION, AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AND THE "HOOK 'EM HORNS" BIT DONE BY THE FANS (as explained in the picture below). UT AUSTIN WAS NOT A FACTOR WHATSOEVER WITH THE INAUGURATION!!):
And George W. Bush (AND NOTE THAT HE DEFINITLY ISN'T AT A UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN GAME GOING "HOOK 'EM HORNS," WHICH WAS A REPORTED EXPLANATION FROM HIM WHEN USING THIS HAND GESTURE. WHAT DOES THE QUEEN HAVE TO DO WITH UT AUSTIN ANYWAY?)

Yes Cassandra... & make no mistake about it: Sarcasm is a form of violence.
& as Mark Twain said: "Denial ain't just a river in Egypt" ;-)
There are shadows within the Hue-man experience that are easier to ignore... but they make up a very 'real' part of our story. At the same time, the keys to our Spiritual Freedom are also available to those willing to wrestle with the agendas that set up the 'Five Sense Prison' in the first place.

A great deal of what 'evil' groups believe is stolen wisdom twisted by it's thieves. Like the Emerald Tablets of Thoth. These tablets contain Divine Wisdom meant to be read by those who've reached a pinnacle of enlightenment- enough to understand what's inscribed in the tablets. But certain secret societies(like the Free Masons) have taken this wisdom as their own and contorted it into ego-maniacal teachings. They hold this information hostage, and use it for control, power, greed, and lust. This is why these societies always fall--it is your destiny when Divine knowledge is abused.
What's so important to note: it's abusive Governments, Secret societies, politics and bureaucrats that fall...the people of their countries always survive, unless they are just as corrupt. This is what the prophecy is about. Whoever has not allowed themselves to be corrupted by the corrupt, will find heaven.
Namaste
I have to disagree. None of the major societies are secret. Just ask for admittance and do the work, it's that easy.
Being A.'.A.'. and a masonic associate I've seen the difference between the understanding by the profane and the understanding by the initiate. 180* apart. The information has never been perverted, updated to fit the times... yes, though the rituals are designed to weed out and hide the path from the weak and closed minded. Free will comes with the wielding of spiritual power. One can do selfless works or selfish works. The "enlightenment" is the same either way. It's freedom of choice pure and simple.
Did Thoth not threaten to use his power to thoroughly destroy Khem if they told his secrets to the savage nations while he was in The Halls Of Amenti?
The truth of "enlightenment" stands as is. It is the free will of the adept to use this power for "positive or negative" outcomes. One can choose the white, black, or yellow brotherhood. None are wrong except to the judge, jury and executioner.
Any good magician knows not to "swim against the [cosmic] current." There is a time and a place for everything. One does not have to practice in the reverse flow. Personally I chose the Great White Brotherhood and try to live by the Hippocratic oath in all my practices.
Some things with positive influence from Kether look very strange while performed in Malkuth or Yesod. Why classify anything as "good" or "evil"? Either it "is for me" or "is not for me" By judging, anything is all in the "eye of the beholder." This mindset does not suit enlightenment well.
Remember, this is how I understand it. Either it "is for you" or "is not for you." Either way the true evil is to condemn another's spiritual path out of ignorance of their spiritual needs. All is as it should be. The universe is perfect whether our puny brains can be wrapped around this concept or not...it is our own understanding of the singularity of I AM THAT, I AM who needs the tune-up.
Get the facts straight before creating fear agendas please.

We must remember the Christians claim Jesus is the Son of G-d, Jesus is the light, and Lucifer is the Light bringer. All one has to do is connect the dots.This whole religious paradigm is an Ouroboros. NOW is the time for BEing not believing another's story as our truth. The key to spiritual liberation is, it is all symbolic of our inner nature not a biography written in stone. The Christ is an allegorical representation of an energy NOT a man. I wish nothing but the purest love light for all stuck in this loop of spiritual confusion.
They dont keep me busy worrying what they are doing... and I dont spend time concerned with "conspiracy theories"... that is for children. Evil will do what evil does and a pure AWARENESS of evil is enough to remain guarded to it... nevertheless much of what Mr Ed, Drekx and myself discuss is FACT, not "theory". You should perhaps read between the lines as well as take in the surface stuff and get that just a few folks perhaps understand some stuff based on EXPERIENCE and not just the heresays of the stupid masses who will believe anything they are programmed to believe... I can garantee you that the three of us choose NOT to comment more than we actually do put words in these spaces... that's how it is for me... otherwise you have to deal with what poor Mr Collier has had to deal with... two times assassinated and two times enduring benevolent alien reserections/cloning re-placements just to keep his mission going... this 'third' Alex privately answers to the name 'Jasper' not Alex which should give you some food for thought... believe me when I say it's NOT theory... and "conspiracy theories" often lead to TRUTH or an investigation into TRUTH which does NOT 'bring down anyones vibes or slow anyones "ascension" as you state, quite the opposite actually. It serves to destroy FANTASY and airy-fairy belief systems which serve no-one well. A wise man once said "the TRUTH will set you free!" I put my cash on that man being right... and I'm no church-goer.
But Feather! El Diablo might hear us! Because you know he's so not-busy that he answers everyone's beck and call!
Actually that's sexist. El Diablo is a female who's cleverly gotten away with people expecting her to be a male. Oh wait, gotta keep up with the times, El Diablo is androgynous.
I'm kidding of course. There's no such thing. It's as real as the tooth fairy and santa claus.

To be scientifically accurate with the "rock on" gesture, I suggest being in a crowd with awesome music playing. Otherwise you just look silly doing it alone in front of the computer with no one to see it... ;) just kidding. We all know spirits and ghosts watch our every move because we're all so special.
Thank you brother... back at ya... like you said 'birds of a feather'... :)
The Church of Satan/Satanists do not worship or even believe in Satan. They think anyone who believes in such things are insane.
So if members of the illuminati are also followers of the Church of Satan, they do not believe in Satan. In fact if they believe in existence in the afterlife at all, they are not of "Church of Satan" material. At least that's how I understand it. I haven't really dug into this religion.
Kids and teenagers use this hand signal to mean "rock and roll". It's harmless. Go to a rock concert or festival and it's everywhere.
What you should watch out for are gang signs. Those are more dangerous. Only because if you see people throwing around gang signs (real ones, not posers) then that means nearby there is potential criminal activity and you might get shot in the line of fire. I mean that's an extreme scenario, but I'm just trying to express that gang signs have the potential to hurt you more than "rock on" or "I love you" hand signs.
Plus.. even if it was "the horned devil" hand signal.. bulls are horned... does that make them evil? Taurus has horns... does that make that zodiac sign evil? Rams have horns... I could go on.
This is an interesting thread, thank you everyone for your perspective. I don't doubt that there is a dark lodge that manipulates the greedy and corrupt... but I wonder why they allow themselves to be photographed going back years giving such gestures openly, isn't their image important to them? They know about these kinds of blogs and articles, they know that WE KNOW what the sign means... so then... what is the purpose?
Ooooh... do you think the gesture allows them to energetically feed?
