Unraveling The Council of Nine
This has been known for quite some time, but it seems to still puzzle many people dating back to the ancient days. According to mythology, there was the Council of Nine – the members were composed of gods and goddesses including: Aphrodite, Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hera, Hermes, Poseidon and Zeus.
As a collective group or council they created Pandora, later sending her as a gift to Epimetheus (the brother of Prometheus). Pandora is a deity representing many gifts, she was the first human woman created by the gods bestowing her with gifts. (Specifically by Hephaestus and Athena on the instructions of Zeus) In recent times, the phrase “to open Pandora’s box” may mean something rather insignificant however, the consequences may be far more severe.

After Pandora was instructed to never open the box, her curiosity got the better of her. One day she opened the box, thereby releasing all of the misfortunes of Mankind.
The myths of Pandora, have been lost, and are quite ancient. Even the surviving Hesiodic Pandora myth does appear in several Greek versions which are interpreted in different ways.
In the Church of Satan, they also call themselves The Council of Nine and have existed since 1966 led originally by Anton Szandor LaVey in San Francisco, California.
There are great influences from the devotees to the Council of Nine in modern times around the world. The staggering number of them reaches the hundreds of thousands which include scientists, multi-millionaire industrialists and leading politicians. This has shaped the world in different ways, more so negatively.
The Republic of Siena in Italy was ruled by the Council of Nine during early renaissance. Its members were changed every two months. These selected gods have sustained a sense of history from around the globe.

The story itself repeats it seems over the course of time. There are 9 different gods that represent 9 different things within Greek mythology. However, there were more than 9 different gods and a council of 9 as well. A hierarchy exists with these top 9 gods as well.
In Greek mythology, there is Zeus among another 8 deities which came together to form the council of nine. These gods included the following, Aphrodite, Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hera, Hermes, Poseidon and the ruler Zeus.

Has the Council of Nine somehow put its control upon the Earth and its inhabitants? It is believed that this specialized council, first created a woman known as Pandora, she would later release evil upon the entire world.
Some think that these 9 deities date back towards ancient Egypt. They began to channel specific verses. They were also believed to have been led by a group of clairvoyants, mediums and other mystics who worked for their government. This group was known as Lab number 9. The following quote is from one of their rituals:
“I am the beginning. I am the end. I am the emissary. But the original time I was on the Planet Earth was 34,000 of your years ago. I am the balance. And when I say “I” – I mean because I am an emissary for The Nine. It is not I , but it is the group. We are nine principles of the Universe, yet together we are one.
