The latest Hollywood blockbuster Sherlock Holmes revolves around
occult murders and world conspiracies. The movie is riddled with occult
symbols and allusions to a “New Order”. We’ll look at the history of
Sherlock Holmes, the origins of the symbols found within the movie and
its meaning in today’s context.
Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories, the movie Sherlock Holmes
brings back to life the famous detective of the nineteen century. The
plot revolves around murders that are apparently connected with occult
rituals. This leads Sherlock into the mysterious world of secret
societies and political conspiracies. Doyle’s works contained some
vague references to occultism or Freemasonry; the movie, however,
focuses solely around those themes and incorporates elements that are
very relevant in today’s context: a New World Order lead by secret
societies.
Although no real life secret society are actually mentioned,
numerous symbols and references are peppered throughout the movie taken
directly from Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism or the Illuminati. Cleverly
embedded into the scenes and never really explained, those symbols can
almost be considered hints to insiders concerning the real inspirations
of the movie. Let’s look at the Masonic background of the original
author of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, and how this influence has been taken to the “next level” in the movie.
Arthur Conan Doyle “Spiritualist and Freemason”
Doyle was born into an Irish Catholic family in Edinburgh, Scotland
in 1859. At age eleven, he was sent to a Jesuit school, Stonyhurst
College, in which he was said to have spent “five unhappy and lonely
years”. After obtaining his Bachelor of Medicine and Master of Surgery
from Edinburgh University, Doyle developed a great interest for
spiritualism . In an article appeared in MQ (the official
Journal of the United Grand Lodge of England), Freemason Yasha
Beresiner explains Conan Doyle’s interest for spiritualism and Masonry: read more>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
