allas Athene (or Minerva to the Romans), the goddess of wisdom, honored the owl as her sacred bird. The owl was recognized as an emblem of penetrating sight and intelligence. It was considered to be a favorable omen if an owl was spotted on the battle field or at times of crisis. The Athenian silver tetradrachm bore the owl (Athene noctua); and owls were protected and thrived in great numbers at the Acropolis of Athens (a temple dedicated to Athena).

The Bavarian Order of the Illuminati

Illuminati Seals

 

Minerval Seals of the Illuminati: two of three known to still exist. P.M.C.V. stands for Per Me Caeci Vident (Through me the blind become sighted). An owl holding an opened book (signifying learning), surrounded by a Laurel wreath (a symbol of learning or graduation); Per Me Caeci Vident was a reminder to the Superiors of the class, whose responsibility it was to properly instruct the Minervals. These medallions were worn around the necks of Minerval initiates.

 

For a secret society called the Order of the Illuminati – emulating the ancient schools of wisdom, and having a “Minerval Academy” as a foundation – would there have been a more fitting symbol than the Owl of Minerva?

 

The class of Minerval was a relatively low rank in the scheme of things. However, it was the soul of the Order, and functioned as a sort of assembly line for recruits.

 

Candidates advanced from Novice to the Minerval degree, where they were properly vetted, scrutinized, and indoctrinated. The Quibus Licet notebooks were introduced, maintained and thoroughly kept (which eventually turned into a detailed history of yourself and those around you). You were admonished to gain wisdom from figures in ancient Greece and Rome; essays were required to pass the test; and the art of Scrutator (or Physiognomy) was elevated to a sacred science. The Minerval Superior – a Minor or Major Illuminatus – was given the code: Nosce te ipsum; Nosce alios [Know thyself; Know others].

 

Minerval Church SealA Minerval Academy was also known as a Church; its meetings marked on the Illuminati’s calendar as sacred. To the right is the seal of the Freising Minerval Church. Instead of the letters P.M.C.V., they are replaced with S.E.M.T.: Sigil Ecclesiastic Minerva Thebes; or, “Seal of the Freising Minerval Church” (i.e. Freising’s alias within the Order was Thebes).

 

Another layer of the owl symbolism, was to assure its initiates that the Illuminati does its bidding at night: nocturnal toil (see Perfectibilists: The 18th Century Bavarian Order of the Illuminati (Trine Day: 2009), pp. 220-2). It harkens back to the tradition of night being the “mother of counsels.” Desiderius Erasmus, for instance, recorded the Latin adage: In nocte consilium [Night is the mother of counsel]. Apparently, the lesson is to be cautious or prudent, not to undertake a thing impulsively (“sleep on it”). Indeed, for one of the maxims the Illuminati had given to the Minervals, was: Quidquid agis, age prudente et respice finem [Whatever you do, do cautiously, and be mindful of the end] (Perfectibilists, op. cit., p. 227 n. 33).

 

During each Minerval ceremony, the initiates recited, and received a lecture upon, a translated and slightly altered version of the Ode to Wisdom by Elizabeth Carter (1717-1806):

Here's a poet, Eliza, dressing up like Minerva.. Looks a bit male, to my eye?

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2008/mar/08/art

"The most rousing portrait is that of Carter as the goddess Minerva, by John Fayam. Carter is armoured, but holds Plato instead of a spear. She is wisdom and virtue personified. Peltz was delighted to rediscover this unusual painting: "It has no real precedent in British art and was part of a campaign to promote Carter as an intellectual sensation." Carter's later portrait by Katherine Read (c.1765), commissioned by Montagu, is dignity incarnate. She is in loose classical dress, crowned with the veil of the Roman matron, asserting that the unmarried linguist is a mature role model, remarkable for her "publick virtue".

 

They were called "bluestockings" a put down for woman who took part in public life; forbidden back then

"She" got the name "Carter" from her husband who was a notorious Plantation owner in Virginia. After he died "she" went back to England . Supposedly had one son. I wonder.

 

What a coincidence; another "Minerva" that looks like a man. Also husband said to have been brutal slave owner.

"Eliza" was how she was called

"Elizabeth Carter" wrote the poem that the Illumanati alleged had to recite in a slightly altered form

 

ODE to WISDOM,

By a Lady.

 

I.

 

The solitary Bird of Night

Thro’ the thick Shades now wings his Flight,

And quits his Time-shook Tow’r;

Where, shelter’d from the Blaze of Day,

In Philosophic Gloom he lay,

Beneath his Ivy Bow’r.

 

II.

 

With Joy I hear the solemn Sound,

Which midnight Echoes waft around,

And sighing Gales repeat.

Fav’rite of Pallas! I attend,

And, faithful to thy Summons, bend

At Wisdom’s awful Seat.

 

III.

 

She loves the cool, the silent Eve,

Where no false Shews of Life deceive,

Beneath the Lunar Ray.

Here Folly drops each vain Disguise,

Nor sport her gaily-colour’d Dyes,

As in the Beam of Day.

 

IV.

 

O Pallas! Queen of ev’ry Art,

That glads the Sense, and mends the Heart,

Blest Source of purer Joys!

In ev’ry Form of Beauty bright,

That captivates the mental Sight

With Pleasure and Surprize;

 

V.

 

To thy unspotted Shrine I bow:

Attend thy modest Suppliant’s Vow,

That breathes no wild Desires;

But taught by thy unerring Rules,

To shun the fruitless Wish of Fools,

To nobler Views aspires.

 

VI.

 

Not Fortune’s Gem, Ambition’s Plume,

Nor Cytherea’s fading Bloom,

Be Objects of my Pray’r:

Let Av’rice, Vanity, and Pride,

Those envy’d glitt’ring Toys divide,

The dull Rewards of Care.

 

VII.

 

To me thy better Gifts impart,

Each moral Beauty of the Heart,

By studious Thought refin’d;

For Wealth, the Smiles of glad Content,

For Pow’r, its amplest, best Extent,

An Empire o’er my Mind.

 

VIII.

 

When Fortune drops her gay Parade,

When Pleasure’s transient Roses fade,

And wither in the Tomb,

Unchang’d is thy immortal Prize;

Thy ever-verdant Laurels rise

In undecaying Bloom.

 

IX.

 

By Thee protected, I defy

The Coxcomb’s Sneer, the stupid Lye

Of Ignorance and Spite:

Alike contemn the leaden Fool,

And all the pointed Ridicule

Of undiscerning Wit.

 

X.

 

From Envy, Hurry, Noise, and Strife,

The dull Impertinence of Life,

In thy Retreat I rest:

Pursue thee to the peaceful Groves,

Where Plato’s sacred Spirit roves,

In all thy Beauties drest.

 

XI.

 

He bad Ilyssus’ tuneful Stream

Convey thy Philosophic Theme

Of Perfect, Fair, and Good:

Attentive Athens caught the Sound,

And all her list’ning Sons around

In awful Silence stood:

 

XII.

 

Reclaim’d her wild, licentious Youth,

Confess’d the potent Voice of Truth,

And felt its just Controul.

The Passions ceas’d their loud Alarms,

And Virtue’s soft persuasive Charms

O’er all their Senses stole.

 

XIII.

 

Thy Breath inspires the Poet’s Song,

The Patriot’s free, unbiass’d Tongue,

The Hero’s gen’rous Strife;

Thine are Retirement’s silent Joys,

And all the sweet engaging Ties

Of still, domestic Life.

 

XIV

 

No more to fabled Names confin’d,

To the Supreme all-perfect Mind,

My Thoughts direct their Flight.

Wisdom’s thy Gift & all her force

From thee deriv’d Eternal Source

Of Intellectual Light.

 

XV

 

O send her sure, her steady Ray,

To regulate my doubtful Way,

Thro’ Life’s perplexing Road:

The Mists of Error to controul,

And thro’ its Gloom direct my Soul

To Happiness and Good.

 

XVI

 

Beneath Her clear discerning Eye

The visionary Shadows fly

Of Folly’s painted Show.

She sees thro’ ev’ry fair Disguise,

 

That All but Virtue’s solid Joys,

Are Vanity and Woe."

Still looking for the older links n this board to Owl.

More on "Jones" history

If I posted this already, sorry about that.

"Jones" earned his chops by entry into Bohemian Grove.

If you look at that closely you'll see that it was staged.

Everything is connected.
