Choose one of the rooms of your home or a place in your bedroom on which you will
place a small desk or table so that it will serve you as an altar where at the light of two
wax or paraffin candles from now on you will devotedly study the chapters of this book.
Being alone, and after praying, you will invoke the Cosmic Masters and ask them for
help and inspiration.
Sit down; while in a meditative attitude, see and feel that the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit
continues rising from the laryngeal chakra up to the portentous chakra of your pituitary
gland (the eye of the Prophet situated between your eyebrows) and that the fire lights and
is in motion from left to right (clockwise); this is your bicolor lotus with two very fine
petals which look like arrows and whose lotus center has a very tiny little navel.
The chakras are points of connection through which the divine energy circulates from one
to another vehicle of the human being. These shine deadly in the human being who is not
spiritually developed; yet, in the Initiate, they shine effulgently like small suns that spin

upon themselves. From now on, concentrate in the Chakra Ajna during your moments of
meditation.

Chapter 16
The Bat God
The town of Tzinacatlan from Chiapas (Mexico) is inhabited by the Tzoctziles (people of
the bat) from the Mayan family and the town of Tzinacantepec in the valley of Toluca. In
the Popol Vuh (Mayan Bible) the bat is a great angel who descended from heaven in
order to behead the first Mayan people who were made of wood. He is the same
Heavenly Bat who in the Popol Vuh advised Ixbalanque and Hunab Ku what they should
do in order to become victorious in the ordeal within the cavern of the Bat God.
We find the Tzinacan (bat) sketched upon steles, codices and Mayan vessels holding the
livened of the God of the air. He is shown with a nasal appendage and triangular teeth
that protrude downwardly from the commissures of his lips. He was always sketched on
Aztec hearths, goblets and basins, like the vampires from the hot lands of the South of
Mexico.
His mouth is characteristic because of its canine and inferior incisive teeth covered by his
tongue that always appears protruded in the Zapotec urns. He has big and well formed
ears, and protruding from them in the shape of leaves appears the tragus made of jade. He
has short fingers in his paws which point towards the heights in order to utilize the
suckers from the palm of his hands (the suckers that serve the bat when it hung itself
from smooth surfaces) and his nasal appendage in the form of a mounted chair or leaf.
The Nahua temples in the form of a horseshoe were dedicated to the cult of the Bat God.
His altars were of pure gold and oriented towards the East.
The Bat God has the power to heal any type of sickness; yet, he also has the power of
cutting the silver cord of life that unites the physical body to the soul. The Nahua Masters
invoked the Bat God to ask him for the healing of their disciples or for healing of their
profane friends. Only Initiates assisted in that invocation, who without touching their
hands or bodies, and alternating men with women, formed a human chain in the interior
of the temple. The extremes of the chain were starting at both sides of the altar and all of
them were seated in squatting position with their back towards the wall. Freshly cut
flowers were placed upon the altar and towards its sides; upon two small columns carved
in basalt were full- size clay hearths painted in red, the symbol of life and death. Logs of
cypress (symbol of immortality) were burning within the clay hearths, whose aroma was
mixed with the smoke of copalli (copal), odorous resins and the powder of white
seashells. The Master wore the livened of the God of the Air and Maxtlatl around his
waist. Then, in the front, and raising the extended palms of his hands, he vocalized three
times the mantra ISIS, dividing it in two syllables, as follows:
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS

Afterwards, with an obsidian knife whose hilt was made with jade and gold, he blessed
the assistants and in silence he performed the ritualistic invocation: Lord of life and
death, I invoke thee so that thou can descend to heal all of our aches.
An impotent silence interrupted only by the crackling of the hearths; then suddenly, the
sound of flapping wings together with an aroma of roses and spikenards was expanding
all over the temple. A flame that elongated itself as if it wanted to touch the heavens was
coming from the hearths; and the Master with the assistants were prostrating until placing
their forehead on the ground.
The Nahua deity of Death (the Bat God) descended wearing the livened of the God of the
air or in the shape of an owl to the funerary ordeals of the Thirteenth Arcanum. The front
stoop entrance to the temples of Nahua Mysteries had thirteen steps, and Huehueteoti, the
Old God, has thirteen locks on his head of hair.
A circular temple dedicated to the Sun existed inside the precinct where the Major
Temple of Tenochtitlan was erected; this circular temple was orientated towards the East,
and its ceiling allowed the sunlight to penetrate unto the altar. A gigantic Sun of pure
gold was placed upon the interior background wall of that temple; this gigantic Sun was
the visible representation of the great Invisible Deity Ipalnemoani. Its door-entrance was
the opened jaws of a serpent whose curved and menacing fangs protruded from its
commissures and in bas-relief upon the floor a great and bifid tongue protruded from the
door of the temple. In the frontispiece of the temple in bas-relief there were the opened
jaws of another serpent with very sharp fangs that symbolized the monster against which
the Adepts of the august Order of the Knight Commanders of the Sun had to fight.
The Tzinacalli (house of the bat) existed within the secret chambers of that temple of
mysteries; it was a broad chamber with the interior aspect of a somber cavern where the
rituals of initiation to attain the higher degrees of Ocelotl (tiger) Knight and Cuauhtli
(eagle) Knight took place. Upon the lintel of the small door that was concealed within the
interior background wall of the cavern, a door that which gave access to the temple, hung
a great obsidian mirror; and in front of that small door a bonfire with pinewood burned on
the floor.
The candidate for the initiation was taken to the Tzinacalli where he was left alone during
the very late hours of the night. Previously, he was indicated to walk in the obscurity
towards the light of a bonfire and once in front of it, to talk to the Guardian of the
