Kehancuran Wonosobo Tahun 1925 : Lebih Dari 1000 Orang Meninggal

WONOSOBOZONE - Sangat sedikit masyarakat Wonosobo dan peminat sejarah yang mengetahui kejadian yang sangat memilukan dan menjadi Top News di era Hindia Belanda Tahun 1924 – 1925. Alam Wonosobo yang selama ini dikenal ramah dengan penduduknya, luluh lantak akibat gempa di Tahun 1924.

Dalam sebuah terbitan Majalah Lama Berbahasa Belanda “Indie” yang terbit pada Tanggal 7 Januari Tahun 1925, disebutkan secara dramatis kejadian bencana gempa di Wonosobo kurang lebih sebagai berikut : “Wilayah Wonosobo di Hindia Belanda dikejutkan oleh teriakan melengking kesakitan dari masyarakat yang semula hidup bahagia berubah menjadi kemalangan , kesusahan dan kemiskinan . Dalam beberapa hari dan beberapa malam semua yang mereka miliki dan sayangi , hilang, sehingga kesedihan dan keputusasaan telah mencengkeram hati mereka ,Di daerah padat penduduk , cengkeraman bencana alam tanpa henti. Rumah hancur , ternak mati dan melarikan diri , hingga celah-celah akibat bencana menelan manusia, hewan, dan desa. Kampung atau jurang runtuh secara ajaib dikepung oleh gempa bumi dalam hitungan detik , sementara banjir melanda. Pemandangan daerah yang padat bangunan rusak. Ya , saat kita menulis ini , itu sudah dihitung lebih dari seribu orang mati. “

Dramatisasi kejadian gempa di Wonosobo ini sebenarnya tidaklah berlebihan, salah seorang politisi Hindia Belanda Mr Wijnkoops dalam rapat interpelasi Pemerintah Hindia Belanda pertemuan ke 39 Tanggal 17 Desember 1924, menyatakan dalam sela orasi politiknya : “Saya ingin berbicara tentang bencana yang terjadi di Wonosobo yang saat ini menjadi bahan pembicaraan , dengan gempa bumi yang mengerikan kawasan yang indah di bagian dari Jawa Tengah ini telah hancur . Saya mengucapkan bela sungkawa dan berusaha memberikan suatu yang lebih untuk daerah yang indah tersebut. Saya tidak bisa membayangkan apa yang terjadi disana.”

Gempa terjadi dimulai pada hari Minggu 9 November 1924. Terdapat 5 guncangan dimana 3 guncangan terasa begitu keras sehingga penduduk yang mempunyai rumah yang terbuat dari batu meninggalkan tempat. Rabu, 12 November 1924 terasa dua guncangan kuat di sore hari yang menyebabkan kerusakan sangat serius. Gempa berlangsung 10 menit dengan guncangan yang keras dan bergelombang dari arah utara disertai suara yang bergemuruh . Minggu, 16 November 1924 gempa kembali mengguncang cukup kuat . Pusat gempa , 4 KM BL dari pusat Kota Wonosobo , telah menyebabkan fragmentasi dan pergeseran lapisan tanah.

Beberapa daerah yang disebut terkena dampak terparah adalah kampung Kali Tiloe, Pagetan, Salam, dan Larang yang terseret runtuhnya tanah. Sedangkan dampaknya mencapai daerah Wonoroto dari utara ke selatan dari pusat gempa. Banyak kampung mengalami kerusakan yang sangat parah (Indie, hlm 331). Lalu apakah yang menyebabkan gempa mengerikan ini? Pada waktu itu tidak ada aktifitas vulkanik yang terekam. Getaran gempa ini murni gempa tektonik. Banyaknya tanah yang bergerak dalam gempa ini adalah hasil dari situasi geologi yang aneh . Kondisi ini diperparah dengan adanya lumpur yang masuk ke Sungai Serajou (Serayu) dan Sungai Prengae (?) akibat gempa dan hujan lebat yang turun sedemikian besar pada waktu itu, membuat air menaik dan menimbulkan banjir besar yang menghancurkan banyak jembatan sehingga Wonosobo terputus jalur komunikasi dan transportasi. Begitu dasyatnya penderitaan penduduk Wonosobo pada saat itu yang sebelumnya telah didera kemiskinan akibat kolonialisme ditambah dengan deraan gempa dan banjir besar yang mengikutinya.

Gempa yang terjadi tidak hanya menghancurkan wilayah pedesaan saja namun juga meluluh lantakan bangunan-bangunan kokoh di pusat kota. Beberapa bangunan kolonial ambruk bahkan Hotel Dieng (Hotel Kresna sekarang) hancur. Beberapa bangunan lain yang masih berdiri mengalami kerusakan yang sangat parah.

Bantuan dari berbagai pihak mengalir ke Wonosobo setidaknya ini dibuktikan dengan adanya salah satu pagelaran tinju di Surabaya pada Tanggal 4 Januari 1925 yang disponsori oleh warga keturunan Tionghoa dimana hasil penjualan tiket disumbangkan untuk korban gempa bumi di Wonosobo (A.S. Marcus,2002). Kejadian gempa yang menghancurkan memang telah lama berlalu. Seiring dengan lajunya jaman, cerita dan sejarah tentang kejadian ini seperti hilang tidak berbekas. Namun dengan terangkat kembali cerita sejarah yang hilang ini diharapkan masyarakat Wonosobo yang hidup di era modern ini untuk kembali berintrospeksi mengukur bagaiman kita bersyukur dan lebih bersahabat dengan alam. Semoga tidak terjadi bencana yang mematikan seperti Tahun 1925 di jaman modern ini. (Penelitian literatur oleh Bimo Sasongko - Staf Perpustakaan Kab. Wonosobo)

The Legend Of Eye | Part 5

(Featuring an all seeing eye in its imagery ,this is the occultist and magician Eliphas Levi’s pentagram, which he considered to be a symbol of the microcosm, or human.)

The All Seeing Eye becomes a hijacked symbol by groups with agendas that we don’t really understand. Trying to put together a story on the legend of the eye that matters becomes very challenging. Everyone’s view or theory on what the eye represents becomes blurred. With this final instalment we will briefly look into the world of the occult, more specifically Satanism and how it has hijacked an Egyptian God as its symbol or centre piece for worship. Furthermore, we will also look at how the symbolic interpretation of the upside-down pentagram and the pyramid that surrounds the eye is used as a repeating theme among occultists. Finally, we will fix our attention on some examples of the all seeing eye in today’s society, particularly through the media and organisations.

Satanism, is usually associated with a group of western religions consisting of varying ideological and philosophical beliefs. Their shared characteristics include symbolic association with or veneration of Satan. Those who are engaged in Satanism (and in relation to this series) also make use of the all seeing eye in their religious symbolism. As previously stated in part 1 of this series, we have come to associate the all seeing eye with Egyptian gods Horus, Ra and Sekhmet. But Satanists or black magicians, as they are sometimes referred to, associate the all seeing eye as the Eye of Set. This is despite the fact that Egyptian mythology has never associated the all seeing eye with Set.

Set or Seth is the Egyptian god of storm, the desert and chaos. The Egyptian god Set in the eyes of Satanism is the very same entity as Satan from the bible. They claim that Set is simply another name for the dark lord of the underworld that Christians referred to as the devil or Satan. One of the most famous satanic churches is called The Temple of Set.

(Has the Egyptian god Set, in the image above, been hijacked as a symbol for The Temple of Set ?)

Predictably, the all seeing eye is featured in countless images relating to Satanism and black magic, particularly the averse upside-down pentagram, which is called the Eye of Set or the Eye of Satan. But quite possibly people are more aware of the Satanic symbols of the Illuminati. They are famously portrayed as a shadowy group often trying to “conspire to control world affairs by masterminding events and planting agents in government and corporations to establish a New World Order….”. Symbols such as the Eye of Providenceand/or the eye in the pyramid have been hijacked as their own.

(The Pentadollar ? The all seeing eye, typically in the shape of the unfinished pyramid is the hijacked symbol most associated with the Illuminati and the occult.)

(The sigil of Baphomet, the official insignia of the Church of Satan.)

Another popular symbol used regularly as an interpretation of the all seeing eye is that of the pentagram. The centre of the averse upside-down pentagram is called the eye of set or the eye of satan. The pentagram was originally used with good intentions, such as a protection charm against demons, but over time it was reversed to have its own distinct interpretation as a sign of evil. The illuminati, who are often painted as villains behind everything from freemasonry to Satanism, use this symbol with an All Seeing Eye or with Baphomet’s head at the centre. The Baphomet, first appeared as a pagan idol in the trial of the inquisition of the knights Templar. The knights were accused of worshipping the Baphomet as an idol or deity.

(The Baphomet is also a hijacked symbol of the Illuminati.)

(Since the 19th century, this image above of the Baphomet (1856), has been associated with a “Sabbatic Goat” created by French occultist Eliphas Lévi, which contains elements representing the “sum total of the universe”. However, the Baphomet has also been connected with Satanism , primarily due to the adoption of its symbol by the Church of Satan)

Until quite recently the All Seeing Eye on the US dollar bill, and various elements associated with freemasonry and black magic were the only avenue the all seeing eye had. But with the advent and growth of film and television including print media and the internet, the all seeing eye has had an explosion in interest and use. Most of the time it’s symbol is used without explanation or understanding of its origins

(The Dark Lord Sauron is portryayed in the film ‘The Lord of the Rings’ as the Eye of Sauron. He is ultimately seen as a symbol of terror, darkness and something to fear.)

(Music artist, Jessie J, using the symbol of the eye to promote herself ?)

(Pearl Jam have previously used the all seeing eye on their album cover ‘No Code’. Here again they use the symbol of the eye on their current release ‘Lightning Bolt’. Is it a bit of fun, or a symbol made to promote, provoke or shock ?)

(MI5. British Intelligence and the all seeing eye ?)

In modern society the All Seeing Eye is usually equated with authority and protection. (surveillance). This interpretation can be seen in the logos of organizations such on the Great Seal of the United States and MI5 (British intelligence).Both of these organizations could be considered the all-seeing eye of their respective governments ? We also have examples of the modern use of the eye as a symbol of protection in local government. Below are two images, one from London’s ‘Big Brother-like’ transport campaign (2002) to protect public transport users from crime. The second, is a sign which was erected by a local Melbourne council in Australia.

(Big Brother-like transport poster for Londoners, 2002)

(Local councils watching out for its residence)

Next time you see a symbol of the eye on TV, on a t-shirt or in the street, ask yourself is it a symbol of knowledge or protection, or a form of clairvoyance or chaos and darkness ? Seek out the nature of its design or just simply have some fun with it ! In the end, the eye is sometimes just simply a symbol, nothing more and nothing less.

The Legend Of Eye | Part 4

(The Hamsa hand. An Amulet against the ‘evil eye’)

There are a many number of versions of the all seeing eye that we have not covered yet. Though firstly it is important to remind the reader that previously we have mention that as people and as cultures we make symbols in order to communicate ideas. We also make symbols to help communicate and understand things such ashigher truths that are not seen or hidden to ordinary consciousness. Some of these truths come from Buddhist and Hindu ideas which we have covered and related to the all seeing eye.With this instalment, we will very briefly also look at the ‘hidden truths’ behind the Aztec ‘death eye’ and the Mexican ‘eye of God’ before focusing on the all seeing eye as a protective symbol or amulet against the ‘evil eye’.

In ancient times when life expectancy was short, death was a constant companion to most people. Death and the all seeing eye sometimes intermingle. The ‘death eye’ as illustrated below is shown as a straight line that dissects through circles. This symbol is a common Aztec one that is found on numerous depictions of their gods. The Aztec had a very strong belief in the afterlife and death was something that they generally didn’t fear. To die as a warrior or in a sacrificial rite was an honour. The death eye helped symbolize that belief.

(The Aztec Death Eye)

(The Mexican Ojo de Dios)

In Mexico you will find a fascinating amulet that is weaved usually made of coloured yarn and wound around two crossed sticks at right angles. This is commonly known as the Mexican Ojo de Dios, or the ‘eye of God’. The amulet is a magical object symbolic of the power to see and understand things unknown to the physical eye. Traditionally it was also created for celebration and blessing. Furthermore, It is interesting to note that it’s diamond shape creates four points that represent the elements of earth, wind, fire and water.

At this point we will stop and shift direction and take our story of the eye down another path. We unfortunately cannot afford to get caught up in every single story that there is about the all seeing eye. My intent is to try to stay relevant and give you a general understanding of the legend of the eye without too much baggage. Therefore, we will now focus our attention on the legend of the ‘evil eye’ and three of the most celebrated amulets of protection against the evil eye.

In many cultures around the world it is believed that good fortune sometimes attracts the jealousy of others. If you find yourself at the end of this jealously, you will inevitable receive a malicious gaze which will bestow upon you a curse. This ungrateful envious or ill wishing look is called the ‘evil eye’. Some people will deliberately go out of there way to bestow a curse on someone believing that their evil eye has magical properties that will do harm. Some cultures around the world report afflictions caused by the evil eye to be disease, wasting or even death. However, an envious person casting an evil eye, more commonly only means to bring its sufferer bad luck.

With such fear and unease, it is no wonder that in many cultures around the world, from the Mediterranean to Central America, amulets of protection are used. (Amulets are also sometimes called or known as charms or talisman.) Amulets are objects that people believe have ‘magical’ powers of protection. People can wear amulets such as pendants, rings or bracelets, but they are also objects like stones, small figures, coins, animal teeth or anything else really that protects by magical properties rather than physical means.

During antiquity, Greeks and Romans strongly believed that there were certain people among them that had the ability to cast a curse upon any unfortunate person who was gazed upon. The evil eye was not feared equally, for example, in every corner of the Roman Empire but it was definitely felt the strongest in the East. (It is assumed that the belief in the evil eye was spread by thinkers and philosophers during Alexander the Great’s reign ? ) To combat against the ‘evil eye’, people of antiquity used all sorts of implements and animals as symbols of protection against the evil eye. We are fortunate enough to have an example of this in the below Roman era mosaic from Antiochia. The evil eye depicted in the mosaic is being attacked by a multitude of implements and amulets that were relevant in the Greco-Roman world. Firstly the evil eye is being pierced by a trident and sword, then pecked by a raven and barked at by a dog. It is also being attacked by a centipede, scorpion, a cat and a snake and If that isn’t enough, a horned dwarf with an enormous phallus crossing two sticks together is also attacking the evil eye !

(Roman mosaic from Antiochia, House of the Evil Eye. Hatay Arkeoloji Müzesi, Antakya, Inv.-Nr. 1024)

Staying in the Mediterranean but shifting our attention a little further east, you will sometimes come across a strange blue eye. This is a Nazaar (Middle Eastern blue eye) or evil eye stone which dates back to times of ancient mythology. It is thought that the nazaar amulet originally derives from the Egyptian Eye of Horus amulet. (Below)

The use of the blue eye stone is widespread throughout countries like Greece, Turkey, Albania, Syria, Lebanon and as far as Afghanistan.

(Image above of the Middle Eastern blue eye)

Travel across the Mediterranean Sea to the Middle East and you will find ‘The Hamsa Hand’. It is a hand or palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle Eastern region and North Africa, and very commonly used in both Jewish and Middle Eastern jewelry and wall hangings to protect against the evil eye. In Israel, hamsas are simply used as a symbol of good luck. They are commonly decorated with fish or Hebrew prayers. In Islam, this symbol is known as the hand of Fatima, in reference to Muhammad’s daughter Fatima Zahra. Similar in appearance as the Hamsa, it too is a symbol of power, strength and protection. Many historians believe that the hamsa symbol predates both Judaism and Islam, though no one is sure of its origin.

The Legend Of Eye | Part 3

(The Masonic eye of Providence has a semi circular glory below the eye. Sometimes the eye is enclosed in a triangle.)

Regardless of what one might think of Freemasonry and its secret society, it is an organization that has historically been ‘put through the ringer’ by some governments, churches and groups whose motives for or against the freemasons are not clear. Conspiracy theories are plentiful, in regards to freemason activities, including those that call it a cover for evil. In contrast to Catholic grievances of rationalism and naturalism, the Protestants are one such group that have on occasion accused freemasonry of mysticism, occultism, even Satanism. Part 3 of the legend of the eye will try to stay clear of this ‘muck throwing’, however we will need to cover some of it and then relate it to what we know of freemasonry with the all seeing eye.

The all seeing eye is one of the emblems very commonly associated in the public’s imagination with Freemasonry. The eye first became visible as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in the late eighteenth century. It is believed that the symbol was borrowed from the Christian use of the eye in religious art during the renaissance. Typically, the masonic eye of providence represents the all seeing eye of God and is a reminder to many masons that their thoughts and deeds are always observed by God, who is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe.

(Is the great architect God ? Science and in particularly geometry and astronomy was associated directly to the divine for most medieval scholars.)

(The Masonic square and compasses.)

The symbol or letter ‘G’ in the Masonic Square and Compass stands for geometry, which is the basis of Freemasonry origins. It is also often interpreted as the initial of God or the Grand Architect of the Universe. The letter G is used to avoid any specific depiction of a deity so that all masons, regardless of their own religious leanings, may show reverence to the ‘Great Architect’. Therefore, within the lodge, the G is used to unify, not divide. In those countries where the language doesn’t begin the word God with the letter G, the all seeing eye is often substituted in place of the G and often with a triangle or pyramid.

(The All Seeing Eye appears on the top of this Masonic tracing board, which depicts the various emblems and symbols of Freemasonry. Tracing boards are often used as a teaching aid during lectures to explain to new members the masonic degrees or levels.)

The all seeing eye or eye in the pyramid is often mentioned as ‘evidence’ and proof of the sinister nature of groups that use it as a symbol of world domination or as a “New World Order”. Many conspiracists, some of these found on pages of the internet, say that the masons are planning a hostile takeover themselves or are being led by the illuminati.

The original illumanati founded in 1776 in Germany by a law professor called Adam Weisahaupt, functioned both as a network of spies and a mystic occult order. Its expressed purpose was to deeply shock and uproot religion and many of Europe’s monarchies. The public face of the Bavarian illuminati, preached good will and brotherhood for all men and submitted to the world that religion and nation borders were obstacles to world peace and the brotherhood of humanity. Some rejected invitations to join the illuminati who saw the organization in a much more sinister light. Details of this are found in some accounts written in the late 18th century that highlight how the illuminati had begun to infiltrate and recruit from masonic lodges throughout mainland Europe. Many of these so called new recruits were rarely masons by profession, some individuals joined to simply gain knowledge of an occult nature. With the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, the group was permanently disbanded in 1785. Some claim that the group some years later reformed and are presently amongst us whoever they are ?

Sadly, Freemasons are sometimes counted amongst the gullible who repeat the tale of the eye in the pyramid as a symbol of conspiracy or “New World Order”. Some stupidly boast these untruths. One of the most famous conspiracy theories about the all seeing eye is that the Great Seal of the United States of America (which is also found on the $1 bill) is a Masonic emblem and hidden symbol of the occult. Well, in truth there is no evidence of this, the reverse of the ‘Great Seal’ does bear an unfinished pyramid with an eye in a triangle surrounded by a glory, but that’s where the conspiracy should stops.

(The reverse of The Great Seal of the United States which bears an unfinished pyramid and the all seeing eye. Adopted in 1782.)

It is important to note that contrary to popular belief, the Great Seal was not created by the Freemasons. While Benjamin Franklin was a Freemason, he was the only Freemason in the company of men who sat on the various committees that helped design the Great Seal. His ideas were not adopted, but of the four men whose ideas were adopted, neither of them were Masons. It was at the committee stages that the ideas of the all seeing eye and unfinished pyramid gained acceptance. The eye within the triangle was adopted, as previous mentioned, from the Christians use of the eye to represent God throughout the Renaissance, long before the Freemasons. Futhermore, no records connecting Freemasonry with the symbol exists until 1797 nor is the symbol in any way linked to the Bavarian illuminati (as mentioned above).

Finally, conjecture about the motto on the reverse of the Great Seal has also been misunderstood forever it seems too. Above the floating eye is the words in latin Annuit Coeptis, which translates to “He (God) has approved or favoured our undertaking.” Beneath it are the words Novus Ordo Seclorum, which translates as “a new order of the ages.” It does not refer to “a new world order”, as many would like us to believe !

Efforts will continue to be made to convince the public that the Great Seal or the all seeing eye are Mason inventions, there is no doubt about that. We will leave it to the reader to make up his or her own mind. Please join us next time as we continue our series on The Legend of the Eye.
