One of the chief mysteries of Libra is, that, it is androgyne, or bisexual, in nature. So far the dual soul has evolved within the realms of spirituality; here it stands, in the celestial balance, between the two, giving way to temptation, takes the forbidden fruit and instantly awakes from its purely spiritual state to become surrounded by the illusions of matter.
In Greece, when the desire was to express the androgyne qualities of the deity, a beard was added to the female face, or one-half of the statuette represented the male form, the other the female. Such representations do not indicate great ingenuity, however skillfully they may be executed. As is generally known, traces of sun worship are found in almost every country of which we have a record.
Thus the deity was both generator and destroyer, one face showing benevolence and kindness, the other violence and rage. In many of the deities both male and female principles were represented in one, an Androgyne deity which was an ideal frequently attempted.
whose ears are both small, the house of the man will be built of bricks; whose right ear is round, there will be an androgyne in the house of the new-born; whose right ear has a wound below, and tur re ut of the man, the house will be estroyed;

So far, therefore, the information contained in Les Soeurs Maçonnes conflicts with the history of the New and Reformed Palladium as given in my second chapter. It has been said, however, that Leo Taxil charges another Masonic order of the androgyne type with satanic practices.
It is plain, however, that Siva was not formerly feared in India, but next to Vishnu was the best beloved of all their gods. Siva was originally the androgyne god who was not only the Destroyer, but the beneficent Regenerator and purifier. It was the cold of winter and the heat of the sun.
But it may occur to those of my readers who are acquainted at first hand with the revelations of Leo Taxil that his knowledge was held over in view of his plan of publication, and that the Palladium would be disclosed in due course when he came to treat of androgyne or adoptive Masonry.
