Master Mahan

A term from the Latter Day Saint movement's religious texts, "Master Mahan" is a title first claimed by Cain and later by his descendant Lamech, marking them as leaders of a "great secret" pact with Satan to kill for personal gain. Rooted in Joseph Smith’s translation of Genesis 5 (published by the Community of Christ) and the Pearl of Great Price’s Book of Moses (Chapter 5), it symbolizes a perversion of sacred priesthood knowledge into a "secret combination" driven by fear, pride, and ego. Critics suggest ties to "Master Mason" from Freemasonry or "Mahoun" (a medieval slur for Muhammad linked to witchcraft), while apologists argue it reflects restored Middle Eastern terms like "mind," "destroyer," or "keeper of a great secret." It’s a cautionary tale of corrupted power, echoing through history via groups like the Freemasons.
