    The System of Enochian Magick. Part III http://www.hermetic.com/enochia/system_enochian_magick_3.html The System of Enochian Magick, Part III: The Heirarchy of the Watchtowers By Frater David R. Jones Reprinted from Voume 6, Number 5 of Lion and Serpent, the Official Journal of Sekhet-Maat Lodge, O.T.O. Reprinted here with Permission. The Golden Talisman from A True & Faithful Relation. The Structure of the Watchtower Hierarchies On Wednesday June 20, 1584, Edward Kelly had a vision that would significantly effect the angelic magikal system that he and John Dee were receiving. In the days that followed it would be analyzed and explained, and ultimately it would produce the Terrestrial system of Watchtower magic that was to profoundly influence not only their own work but eventually the whole course of the Western Hermetic Tradition. The student of Enochian magic would do well to make themselves familiar with the pages (168-189) in A True & Faithful Relation1 (henceforth T&FR). The Angel Ave summarized the material as follows: Four sumptuous and belligerant Castles, out which sounded trumpets thrice2. The Sign of Majesty, the Cloth of passage, was cast forth. In the East, the cloth red; after new smitten blood. In the South, the cloth white, Lilly coloured. In the West a cloth, the skins of many Dragons, green: garlick-bladed. In the North, the cloth, Hair-coloured, Bilbery juyce. The trumpets sound once3. The gates open. The four Castles are moved. There issueth 4 Trumpeters, whose Trumpets a Pyramis, six cones wreathed4.

  • Handbook of Religious Beliefs and Practices
    STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES 1987 FIRST REVISION 1995 SECOND REVISION 2004 THIRD REVISION 2011 FOURTH REVISION 2012 FIFTH REVISION 2013 HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES INTRODUCTION The Department of Corrections acknowledges the inherent and constitutionally protected rights of incarcerated offenders to believe, express and exercise the religion of their choice. It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

  • 1. Introduction
    1. INTRODUCTION Honeywell Intemational Inc. (fonnerly AlliedSignal, Inc.; referred to herein as Honeywell), is conducting aremedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) for Onondaga Lake, which is located near S)'Tacuse, New York (site definition is discussed in Section 1.2 of this RI). The RIfFS is being conducted under the direction of the State ofN ew York and pursuant to the terms of a Consent Decree (Index #89-CV -815) entered into with the State of New York dated January 9, 1992, and associated stipulations (Consent Decree). Onondaga Lake was placed on the USEP A National Priorities List (NFL) (CERCLIS ill number NYD986913580) on December 16, 1994. This NPL listing means that the lake is among the nation's highest priorities for remedial evaluation and responseunder the federal Superfillld law for ~iteswhere there has been a release ofhazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. Honeywell submitted a draft RI report in May 1998. Upon review and comment by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), the NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Law (NYSDOL) disapproved this draft document and provided comments to Ho~eywell in August 1999. After completing additional sampling in 1999 and 2000, Honeywell submitted a revised RI report in April 2001 (Exponent, 2001 c). This revised report was similarly disapproved by NYSDEC and NYSDOL in July 2001. Thereafter, pursuant to the Consent Decree, NYSDEC/T AMS Consultants, Inc. (TAMS) prepared this reMite of Honeywell' s revised RI report, with the assistance ofNYSDOH and USEP A.

Rebecca Short 24 September 2012 Professor Greta Austin The Methodology of Resistance in Contemporary NeoPagan Culture The number of adherents of NeoPaganism is one of the fastest growing, doubling in numbers about every eighteen months. 1 NeoPaganism is a set of several religious traditions and spiritualities that seek to either (1) painstakingly reconstruct the indigenous religions of the Christianized world, especially those of Europe, or (2) reinterpret these religions in the contemporary era to formulate new religious traditions. Reconstructionist NeoPagan traditions include Asatru , a Norse Reconstructionist path, and Hellenismos , a Greek Reconstructionist religion. More contemporary, eclectic, new religious movements include Wicca, a tradition of religious witchcraft born out of the ancient Hermetic school of spirituality and magic practice. Wicca is by far the most popular tradition (or, now, set of traditions) in all of NeoPaganism. This religious tradition was started by a man named Gerald Gardner in 1950s England.

Without guidance, this is usually impossible. Therefore, lowe my biggest thanks to Peter and Laura Yorke of Ra Horakhty Temple, who provided my first exposure to self-initiation techniques in the Golden Dawn. Their years of expe­ rience with the Golden Dawn material yielded a structure of carefully selected ex­ ercises, which their students still use today to bring about a gradual transformation. WIthout such well-prescribed use of the Golden Dawn's techniques, it would have been difficult to make progress in its grade system. The basic structure of the course in this book is built on a foundation of the Golden Dawn's elemental grade system as my teachers passed it on. In particular, it develops further their choice to use the color correspondences of the Four Worlds, a piece of the original Golden Dawn system that very few occultists have recognized as an ini­ tiatory tool.
