Let Us Create Nothing But God

Set Fucks Horus

2006-11-15T22:42:11Z

Taken from here

“Seth said to Horus: ‘Come let us spend a pleasant hour at my house.’ Horus answered, ‘With pleasure, with pleasure.’ When it was evening a bed was spread for them and they lay down. During the night Seth made his penis stiff and he placed it between the loins of Horus. Horus put his hands between his loins and caught the sperm of Seth. Then Horus went to his mother, Isis [and said]: ‘Help me…! Come, see what Seth has done to me.’ And he opened his hand and let her see Seth’s semen. With a scream she took her weapon and cut off his hand and threw it in the water, and conjured up for him a hand to make up for it.” Then Isis helped Horus ejaculate and smeared his sperm over some lettuce, which was Seth’s favorite vegetable and which she then gave to him to eat. Later, when Seth boasted to the Ennead (the nine gods judging the conflict) that he had done the “work of a male [warrior]” on Horus, the gods “screamed aloud, and belched and spat in Horus’ face.”

“The divine person of Seth said to the divine person of Horus: ‘How beautiful are your buttocks, how vital! Stretch out your legs …’ And the Person of Horus said: ‘Watch out; I shall tell [this]!’” Then he ran and told his mother Isis, that Seth desired to sodomize him. “And she said to him: ‘Beware! Do not approach him about it! When he mentions it to you another time, then you shall say to him: “It is too painful for me entirely, as you are heavier than me. My strength [backside] shall not support your strength [erection]…”’ Then when he gives you his strength, place your fingers between your buttocks. … Lo, he will enjoy it exceedingly. [Keep] this seed which has come forth … without letting the sun see it…” Later, Isis threw Seth’s semen into a nearby stream, then spread some of Horus’ semen on lettuce and gave it to Seth to eat. Later, when Seth boasted to the gods that he had sexually taken Horus, the youth denied it. To settle the argument, the gods called forth the seed of both. The seed of Seth answered from the water into which Isis had thrown it, while the seed of Horus came forth from Seth’s forehead in the form of a golden disk, which was grabbed by the moon god Thoth to become his symbol.

Enochian

Enochian magick has caught my interest.

I'm familiar with the history of it, of Dee and Kelly, The kinky wife swapping angels, and the running around Bohemia peddling Alchemetical promises and all that. I don't know the technical details or rituals however.

But what I don't understand and what I'd really like to know is: What the purpose or goal of Enochian magick is. I know it has something to do with talking gibberish and skrying the aythers - But why? Why would you want to skry the aythers? I sort of know that Crowley used the aythers when he was in the Algerian desert buggering with Neuberg to advance his degree and contact the secret chiefs - But that was just his use of it, not the intended use right? I mean, I don't think Dee and Kelly knew of the secret chiefs or cared much about degrees in an order that didn't exist till hundreds of years after their deaths and tailored a whole system for it.

Naturally my first turn was to Google! I typed in "What is the purpose of Enochian Magick?" and it came up with a dodgy llewellyn answer

I don't know if I should trust in that explanation. Most of all after poking around the website some more and finding a page about Enochian Yoga!

Other than pondering about Enochian magick I've been continuing my study of Liber E and O. I've also been studying the I Ching - It's miles better than Tarot cards, of which I've had very little success understanding in the past. Tarot cards give you more room to deceive yourself, to add bias to the reading. The I Ching is simpler to use, it has depth, and it even teaches me things about Magick and Thelema with the Yin and the Yang. It even has math! I'm desperate for a copy of the Red Flame Journal about the I Ching.

First Wand

2006-04-26T22:39:18Z

Sorry to turn this into a sort of Occultist-Baby-Book full of all the mementos a progressing student might collect such as pictures of his first invocation, his first goetic seal lovingly pasted in a scrap book, his first OTO-schism, etc... But I'm going to do it now anyway.

I am now the happy owner of my first proper, elemental tool. Sure I have the lesser things like divinational objects and books and all that cultish bling, but it's not the same.

So sure it's not your traditional style wand, and just so happens to be an old used Phurba used by Nepalese Bonpa Shamans.. But it's not a boring bit of willow either!

I love the symbolism on it too. The upper parts being Dharma as represented by the three faces of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Then the Dorje in the middle, ending in the three-sided blade that is meant to depict the underworld but could symbolize any number of things - The three Gunas, the supernal triad on the tree of life, birth-life-death, IAO, whatever. There are entwined serpents across the blades, the face of some creature makes up two sides on the blade, the third side depicts the sun.

Right, that's it, I'm off to go play with my new toy now!

Small Thing That Bugs Me

One of the symbolism of the pentagram is spirit reigning over the material, and when inverted it symbolizes the material reigning over the spiritual.

So taking this in mind what annoys me is that the bottom two points of the pentagram (upright) are symbolic of Earth and Fire. To me it makes more sense if the bottom two points were attributed to Earth and Water.

That way to me the above symbolism of the upright and inverted pentagrams fit better. The earth and water elements being symbolic of flesh and blood.

I'm sure someone will tell me the elements are arranged on the pentagram due to their passive and aggressive natures, but meh, that's my thoughts on the pentagram..

"Now from your wide
Raw cunt, the abyss,
Spend spouting the tide
Of your sizzling piss"

http://www.faerywolf.com/queer.htm

And lo it did spout forth.

But on to my own spouting..

I am very pleased to tell you that I can now hold asana for around fifteen minuets, despite my lack of attention paid to practicing it daily, and at times cheating and watching television whilst I do it (I've stopped that habit now though).

And it's only taken me three months.. I'm a bit disappointed, really. Three months of trying to apply myself to something and the result is I can now sit on my legs for a quarter of an hour. If I had forced myself to do it every day then I would have made much more progress, I'm sure.

The slow progress of the remedial student, eh.

Oooh I think I just learned something all on my own, and if so then I'm well chuffed :D

I was confused as to what the formula LAShTAL was and what it meant.

Then today whilst idly flicking through books I came across Liber V Vel Reguli and got to the part where they go:

"On my right hand the powers of LA!
On my left hand the powers of AL!
Above me the powers of Sht!"

LA being nothingness.
AL being God.
ShT being the child of the two, joining them together.

LA-ShT-AL!

But then is that also connected to the three greater sepheria on the tree of life - Kether, Chokma, Binah, of which after the veil of the abyss the other sepheria are just reflexions? Maybe I'm confusing them for Ain, Ain Soph, etc making Kether thing, because of the La being nothing, and the AL being God (Kether).

Please correct me if I've got it all wrong.

Interesting Weekend

2005-11-14T13:40:54Z

My weekend was… Unusual…

On Saturday I went to South London with maeghanne, who kindly let me be her guest to a Gnostic Mass held by the OTO’s AMeTH Lodge. We had been told to get there for twelve, but didn’t actually mass until like three or four in the evening.

Everyone there was normal and friendly. No one came across as “Behold I am the super Thelemite, Neo Mega Therion. Behold how I wear nothing but black and invent new aeons each week. Aha we are now in the aeon of Bast, now you are all tragically old and must follow my formula, bwahaha” like you tend to get in Pagan circles (or at least the forums!). A lot of people there were massing for the first time and had varying degrees of understanding of Thelema, so I didn’t feel overwhelmed or anything like that.

Later on in the day the mass began, the Deacon came into the waiting room and talked. She explained the signs and movements we should do during the mass, and explained about the cakes of light. Okay, for those who don’t know, a cake of light is the communion host for the mass. It does contain the menstrual blood of the priestess, but it’s a tiny drop into one cake, which then gets burnt to ashes and added to the rest of the cake mixture. The other ingredients are olive oil, abramelin oil, wine leavings and abramelin oil.

We went upstairs to the Temple room. At one end of the room was the super altar, the other end was the tomb where the priest awaited inside, in-between them were two altars one containing a large bowl for water, the other was were the deacon stood and the incense went on it too I think, so that must have been the fire altar. We all sat to the sides of the temple room on large cushions.

The deacon and the people said the Thelemic creed followed by three vibrated Aumgns. After that the priestess flanked by two children entered the temple. The priestess goes to the tomb and lets out the priest, who is dead. She then makes him live again and commands him to give a benediction to the congregation, to his complaint of “I am but a man, how can I?” she makes him a priest. The priest then puts her on the altar, and she becomes Nuit, the goddess. Then by calling upon the gnostic saints and all manner of things he comes on par with her as a god. Together they then infuse this godliness into the cakes of light and wine. At some point during this part of the mass they both scream “Hail” or something like that into the cup and it blew me away. So yeah, then the congregation takes communion and takes of this godliness (Such is the Gnostic element of the mass). We did this by walking to the super altar, taking a cake from one of the children and crossing it over the paten, then we consumed it and took a small cup of wine, which we crossed over the priestess and drank. We then turned to face the tomb standing in the form of osirus slain and said “There is no part of me that is not of the gods”.

Although I didn’t do this… No, I went to the super altar, took a cake, crossed it. Put it in my mouth and tried to eat it but it wouldn’t go down, so I took the wine and crossed it over the priestess and tried to swallow it down with the wine, which kinda worked. Then I turned around, crossed my arms and… Choked! “Ack ack ack… There is no part of me that is not of the gods” Hahahahaha!

It was an amazing experience though. Afterwards we went to the café downstairs and had dinner, it was fun.

I really want to go to the next mass, if I still have a great time and don’t choke to death, I may even ask for Minerval!

On Sunday I didn’t go to Temple because I had plans in the evening, so I just did a small arati at midday for Nirshrimhadeva and sang some Bhajans.

At four I was in Covent Garden, at the London Discussion Group at treadwells bookshop. randomkev21 was running it and sparkx and casparian were there too. We just discussed what topics the future meetings would be about and agreed that we’d do an hour of discussion and an hour of practical work. The first one we chose was Colour symbolism, which I have to admit I’m not so keen on, but we have some good ones coming up – Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, Twirling Mantra and Deity Worship (I said I’d show everyone how to do Arati for that one, gulp). So yeah, fun times ahead.

Asana, Dharana - Not Very Pleasant.

2005-11-05T20:18:29Z

This evening at 19.28 I decided to attempt Asana and Dharana.

I sat in the dragon asana and tried my hardest to picture a red triangle. It was quite impossible.

At 19.33, five minuets after I had begun, I had finished. I had intended to try to do it until 19.40 but there was no chance of it. I could have maybe done Asana for ten minuets if I had just done Asana alone. But the dharana part was so wearing, I couldn't concentrate or picture the triangle at all and the effort to do it whilst in the asana was horrible. It's probably going to take a year before I can do ten minuets perfect practice in this.

I think I will just forget Dharana for a bit till I'm down with Asana. Tomorrow I'll do five minuets of asana and in the evening another five and build up. Once I can do half an hour I will try Dharana.

Maybe in the meantime I'll create the five tatwas out of coloured paper, then I can use them as aids.

... Also maybe it'd help if it wasn't Fireworks Night and I hadn't just eaten a meal and spent the day drinking caffeine forever more... *Ahem*

I Really Haven't A Clue, Do I?

2005-11-03T17:32:44Z

I am a total idiot and novice where it comes to Ceremonial Magick. I've studied the theory of Wiccan and Neo-pagan rituals since I was in my early teens and started the practice them this year with good results. But as for the Ceremonial stuff, I am without a clue or a hope of finding one. This doesn't stop me trying however, so every once in a while expect me to come out with utterly stupid questions like the ones I'm about to pose here...

I am very eager to form some sort of daily practice. What I have in mind is to do the meditation spoken of in the beginning of Liber ABA. The first stumble I've come across and I'm sure there will be many more is the Asanas. I don't like the look of the ones given in Liber ABA, apart from The God asana, but that looks just too simple. So can I use any yoga asana that I wish, or must it be the ones given in Liber ABA? Why?

I want to also perform the LBRP daily. I'm down with it, I know the words and actions and what to visualize and such. But no where does it give a closing ritual, or tell you what to do afterwords. Maybe I am getting mixed up with the Wiccan ritual of casting the circle, but surely once you're done you don't just walk away, you don't just banish the elements then do the "before me blah blah blah" part and then walk off leaving the angels you just called standing about like ninnys?

I think I read something that explains this in a book and I have this idea of what I should do in my head, but I'm unsure if it's correct.

First you do the qabbalistic cross, invoke the earth pentagrams clockwise, calls the angels clockwise and do the cross once more and that's the sacred space done and created. Then when you're finished with what you're doing you do the cross once more, banish the earth pentagrams anti-clockwise, forget the angel part because you just banished them with the anti-clock movement, then do the cross one last time and go off to watch Eastenders?

I really hate not understanding this stuff.

Happy Halloween
