Vulcan was a sun deity who was associated with fire, thunderbolts, and light.
The
festival in honour of him was called the Vulcania in which human
sacrifices were offered. “Vulcania, he bears a family relationship to
the Christian devil.” It is fascinating to know that he married Venus,
another name for Lucifer or the devil.
What
is even more interesting is that Vulcan is adored in Freemasonry under
the name of Tubal Cain. In the Masonic Quiz Book the question is asked:
“Who was Tubal Cain?” The answer is:
“He is the Vulcan of the pagans.”
In Masonry, Tubal Cain is the name of the password for the Master Mason (or third) degree.
Listen to what occultist and Mason, Manly Palmer Hall, has to say:
“When
the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper
application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mastery
of his craft.
The
seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step
onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy.
He must follow in the footsteps of his forefather, Tubal-Cain, who with
the mighty strength of the war god hammered his sword into a
ploughshare.”
There is also a sexual connotation associated with Vulcan and Tubal Cain.
