Here's a question for you....
We all know who K.S was, but what was his REAL name? I've been asked this 2 or 3 times from people outside the Craft, who think in Esoterical terms way beyond us.
The only answer I can think of is Merlin or Mer-Lyne as it should be pro-nounced.
So who was K.S??
For I'm told that it is not his or her real name at all....
I'm told by these same people that theres a huge 'clue' in the F.C degree......

Thought of Jedidiah.... Been told that the name does not tie in with numerology. Although recently I've been thinking of a connection between Ra'Moses (Moses) and the Ark............ Make of that, what u will.

Whatever he was, Merlin wasn't Solomon. As far as anyone can tell, he was made up to explain why Carmarthen got its name. The placename in Welsh is Caer Fyrddin, "the town of Myrddin", whoever the hell he was (there's no trace of the name anywhere else), and so a backstory was glued together for him, mostly out of the story of a completely unrelated Scottish figure called Lailoken, who's a kind of wildman. Only much later was Myrddin accorded his well-known wizardly role in the Arthurian cycle.
Of course, when the name was Latinised, Myrddin became Merdinus, or "excrement-man", so that had to be changed into Merlinus for Geoffrey of Monmouth's Prophetiae.

As far as I know there is no evidence for Solomon's temple or kingdom.
But if Moses was an Egyptian then perhaps Solomon was as well. Thus Solomon may have been an egyptian pharaoh in which case may well have had a temple and a kingdom

We should bear-in-mind that Jerusalem was part of the Egyptian province of Retjenu.

Whistler This is a quotation from Petronius's Satyricon and means; "For indeed I myself with mine own eyes saw the Sibyl at Cumae hanging in a jar, and when those boys said 'Sibyl, what do you want?', she used to answer 'I want to die'" (The sibyl, a prophetess, was granted eternal life, but not eternal youth - and so she shrivelled more and more and only death would release her)

But that is the irony, because of course death would never release her: she was doomed to live on and on until the Earth itself perishes. Theoretically, she (like Enoch) still endures.

Russell, you do have an almost infinite capacity to spout bollocks, do you not? I was about to say, there is even less evidence of Solomon's Egyptian passport than there is of Moses' - but hang evidence!, there is not even the intellectual suspicion to justify the supposition!
We might as readily posit an Egyptian colony in Springfield with Homer Simpson as its Pharaoh and Apu Nahasapeemapetilon its grand vizier!

"Of course, when the name was Latinised, Myrddin became Merdinus, or "excrement-man", so that had to be changed into Merlinus for Geoffrey of Monmouth's Prophetiae."Merde ! is the french word for excrements, we also call it the Cambronne word as its the way General Cambronne replied to english call for surender : " merde !" I know that we are on the esoteric forum but the latest archeological research shows that Solomon, schlomoh Temple wasn't build when salomon was suppose to live, and more jerusalem at that time was just a small village. "(...) the Bible tells of the golden age of the united kingdom of Israel ruled over by a Judean monarch, first David and then his son Solomon. It describes a renowned empire spreading from the Red Sea to the border of Syria, the splendor of Jerusalem and the first Temple built by Solomon, as well as other magnificent building projects. This united kingdom then split into Israel in the north and Judah in the south. Does archeology confirm this picture? Despite legendary exaggerations and elaborations, the authors believe that David and Solomon did exist -- but as minor highland chieftains ruling a population of perhaps 5,000 people. No archeological evidence exits around 1005-970 BCE for David's conquest or his empire, nor in Solomon's time (ca. 970-931 BCE) is there any evidence of monumental architecture or of Jerusalem as more than a village(...)

The village of Jerusalem had been part of the Egyptian province of Retjenu. Even after kingdoms lose effective control of their territories, it is rare that they simply conceed that loss.

People tend to glorify individuals who once existed. Abraham Lincoln for example in the United States
" In not one single instance is there the slightest trace or track of an illusion to either a Hebrew nation prior to 925BC or kings named David or Solomon at all "
" according to the Hebrew record, these monarchs flourished about 1000-1100BC, which would render them contemporary with Kings Marduk-Nadin-Akhi, Marduk-Shapik-Zerim, and Ramman-apil-iddina of the first Babylonian empire and Tiglath-Pileser I, Shamshi-Ramman I, and Ashur-Bel-Kala of Assyria. As to Egypt the biblical Solomonic period lies parallel to that of the later Ramesside kings of Thebes, and precedes that of Shishank of Bubastis, whose inscription in the walls of the great Temple of Karnak, including the "King of Judah " among the list of his prisoners in an expedition, is the first secular reference to the latter people. This king is presumed to have been Rehoboam, whose father and grandfather were the individual monarchs immortalized under the names of "David " and "Solomon." Jehu, king of Israel jn the reign of King Shalmaneser II, of Assyria, was the first biblical monarch who name was actually recorded on a contemporary monument(800BC). It is a long forgotten fact that all the ancient Hebrew names, beginning with the ineffable Tetragrammaton, are cabalistic constructions, upon a system borrowed from the Chaldeans, who were an equally Semitic people and the rootstock of the Abramic tribes.
There is a king of Assyria from 1300BC named Shalmanesar, the construction of whose name, from S-L-M-N and the word " sar" meaning "king"
"The story of Solomon and his Temple is not a mere chronicle of historical events, but employing actual events and personages of far less contemporary historical importance than represented, as the basis of fact, the transcendent literary and spiritual genius of Israel wove a marvelous fabric of Oriental splendor, the object of which was to display the glory of Jehovah in His Universe in such a manner as indelibly to impress it upon the minds of men for all time "

The life and character of Solomon the Great is almost identical to that of Suleiman the Magnificent.
The temple of Suleiman the Magnificent is still standing. Suleiman had a concubine called The Cheerful Rose. She was the most powerful woman in the empire.
The Rose of Sharon first appears in the KJV - 50 years after her death.

Merlin is not an English name, but rather, a two word metaphorical sentence understood by the Spanish people who mock those that run with the story. "Mar Luna" or bad moon. As in the spell of kingu... It is a grim figure of speech inevitably leading to a darker version of the Camelot tales. Bad moon rising is a story about his three daughters. His wife, gwendolin is pronounced in Spanish as "Buen Luna". Good moon. These are just names that have been corrupted to veil the quest of "Mujeres". Mujeres is plural for women. The first half of the name means mug or cup. The last part means Rex or king. Hence cup of the king. Or King's cup. The tale is not of chivalry of valor or even honor. It is about rivalry. A place at the head of the state.
As for Solomon... We may indeed find it the F.C. degree. But it may be just another aspect of information. The name is senselessness in only that it leads you to find the path that leads from entered apprentice to fellow craft. You have been spooked by those people. Now... From the E.A. straight up to F.C. just like everyone else. The name the goetic demons call him may be more impressive that the name we call him. They don't call him Solomon.
From 1° Entered Apprentice to Fellow Craft 2°. Good luck...
