The Testament of Solomon is about demons summoned by King Solomon, and how they can be countered by invoking angels and other magical techniques.

He even obtained all the four colour- scales of Venus with absolute correctness. The idea recurs again and again. It is not otherwise with the art of government. But it is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature; and the conditions are covered by the above postulate. In this way the projection of the "astral" or Body of Light may be made absolutely tangible and practical. Of course, Magic is Magic wherever. The letter M exhibits the termination of this process.

High Magick: Theory and Practice Writer The Universe is unanimous in rebuttal. This shows the impossibility of disentangling one's self from one's environment.

Themes in the text recur, focusing on different aspects of core topics but taking the reader further along each time, using the format proven effective in High Magic. It is therefore not quite certain in what the efficacy of conjurations really lies. He was also anxious to use the letter G, another triune formula expressive of the aspects of the moon, which further declares the nature of human existence in the following manner. Become the Quantum Sorcerer! Can we suppose that any cause can be baulked of effect? From that knowledge it must divine its destiny. A similar order may be assumed to extend throughout nature. Published by Castle Books. Pp Moreover, it is extremely difficult thus to expatriate another magical being; for though, unless it is a complete microcosm like a human being, it cannot be called a star, it is a little bit of a star, and part of the body of Nuit. Each part gets a focus in this book. As our record extends into the past, the evidence of its truth is cumulative. Let us open the Book ; we shall find in line 6 of each column the various parts of our required apparatus. The interdisciplinarity he ultimately advances, however, is as highly focused as is his conception of magic. There are many extant invocations throughout his works, in many kinds of metre, of many kinds of being, and for many kinds of purposes. Quantum mechanics shapes the world around you. Modern instruments have enabled us to detect some of these suprasensibles by indirect methods, and even to use their peculiar qualities in the service of man, as in the case of the rays of Hertz and Rontgen. Paul says, "Without shedding of blood there is no remission"; and who are we to argue with St. Some of the techniques have never before appeared in an English-language book. He can find no reason for correlating them with anything in the present. It would be accepted as a convention, and no one would incur the grave danger of building a philosophical system upon it. Lehrich at points argues that non-European "primitive" peoples also combined historical and typological structural thinking in their magical systems. It is a ''technology'' and must be mastered like any technology through understanding and practice. Quart, 26,1 cm Frontispiece, lxxxiv, , [2] pp. High Magick: Theory and Practice Reviews In this there is nothing peculiar. Similarly, when I do Magick, it is in vain to inquire why I so act, or why the desired result does or does not follow. One naturally wonders whether a point requiring so much stretching should be made at all. Every spirit, up to God himself, is ready to deceive you if possible, to make himself out more important than he is; in short to lay in wait for your soul in separate ways. Tens of thousands of individuals and groups have used this course as their primary instruction manual. It has become the standard textbook of practical magickal knowledge for magicians all over the world. It was not sufficient merely to buy a new knife; he felt that he had to make it himself.

Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Dec 14, Jordan Fitzgerald rated it it was amazing. In presenting this book to the world, I must then explain and justify my position by formulating a definition of MAGICK and setting forth its main principles in such a way that ALL may understand instantly that their souls, their lives, in every relation with every other human being and every circumstance, depend upon MAGICK and the right comprehension and right application thereof. We may therefore say that any magical recollection is genuine if it gives the explanation of our external or internal conditions. While on the subject of barbarous names of evocation we should not omit the utterance of certain supreme words which enshrine alpha the complete formula of the God invoked, or beta the whole ceremony. He discovered long after that Levi had lived in the neighbourhood for many years. The formula of this invocation of Thoth may also be classed under Tetragrammaton. Every magician, therefore, should study the Holy Qabalah. Fingers straight and together.

As Tyndall said, man might at any moment learn to perceive and utilise vibrations of all conceivable and inconceivable kinds. The mind is the great enemy; so, by invoking enthusiastically a person whom we know not to exist, we are rebuking that mind. Qoph in the Tarot is "the Moon", a card suggesting illusion, yet shewing counterpartal forces operating in darkness, and the Winged Beetle or Midnight Sun in his Bark travelling through the Nadir.

    Vernal Equinox go-live / stream The Invocation of Horus From The Libri of Aleister Crowley – The Equinox of the Gods – Chapter 6 The Arising of THE BEAST 666. 9○=2□ It has been judged best to reprint as it stands the account of these matters originally compiled for “The Temple of Solomon the King.” (Equinox Vol. I, No. VII, pp 357-386.) (The notes for this article were worked out in collaboration with Captain (now Major-General) J.F.C. Fuller. Every means of cross-examination was pressed to the utmost.) THE PRIEST In opening this the most important section of Frater P.'s career, we may be met by the unthinking with the criticism that since it deals rather with his relation to others than with his personal attainment, it has no place in this volume. (Projected by Fuller as no more than a record of the personal attainment of Aleister Crowley.) Such criticism is indeed shallow. True, the incidents which we are about to record took place on planes material or contiguous thereto; true, so obscure is the light by which we walk that much must be left in doubt; true, we have not as yet the supreme mystical attainment to record; but on the other hand it is our view that the Seal set upon Attainment may be itself fittingly recorded in the story of that Attainment, and that no step in progress is more important than that when it is said to the aspirant: “Now that you are able to walk alone, let it be your first care to use that strength to help others!” And so this great event which we are about to describe, an event which will lead, as time will show, to the establishment of a New Heaven and New Earth for all men, wore the simplest and humblest guise.

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.
  • Babalon Rising: Jack Parsons’ Witchcraft Prophecy

    Babalon Rising: Jack Parsons’ Witchcraft Prophecy

    Babalon Rising: JaCk parsons’ WitChCraFt propheCy Erik Davis In the forty yearS or so following the death of John Whiteside Parsons in 1952, his name—Jack Parsons from here on out—circulated principally among magic folk, critics of Scientology, and historians of modern rock- etry. In the new century, however, the tale of the SoCal rocket scientist- cum-sex magician has proven a hot commodity, told and retold in a series of articles, biographies, graphic novels, movie scripts, and reality tv shows that have transformed Parsons into one of the most storied figures in the history of American occulture. The superficial reasons are easy to see: with its charismatic blend of sex, sorcery, technology and death, Parsons’ story haunts a dark crossroads of the Southern California mindscape, scrawling a prophetic glyph in the wet pavement of postwar America. Indeed, his tale is so outrageous that if it did not exist, it would need—as they say—to be invented. But if it were invented—that is, if his life were presented as the fiction it in so many ways resembles—it would be hard to believe, even as a fiction. The narrative would seem overly contrived, at once too pulp and too poetic, too rich with allegorical synchronicity to stage the necessary suspension of disbelief. In this essay, I want to explore an unremarked aspect of Jack Parsons’ life and thought, what I will call his magickal feminism. In his 1946 text Free- 165 166 Erik Davis dom is a Two-Edged Sword, Parsons issued a call for women to take up the spiritual, sexual, and political sword—a cry for female autonomy that also eerily anticipated the militant witchcraft that would find historical expres- sion in California over twenty years later.

    Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’S Magick Lantern Cycle

    Doyle White, E 2016 Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle. Present Pasts, 7(1): 2, pp. 1–10, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/pp.73 RESEARCH PAPER Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle Ethan Doyle White* One of the great figureheads of American experimental cinema, Kenneth Anger (b.1927), is internationally renowned for his pioneering work, recognisable for its blend of homoerotica, popular and classical music, and dark, symbolist imagery. A follower of Thelema, the religion of infamous British occultist Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), Anger’s work is imbued with occult themes and undercurrents rarely comprehen- sible to the non-initiated viewer. In exploring these esoteric ideas, Anger makes use of archaeology and heritage in his short filmsEaux d’Artifice (1953) and Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954–66), as well as in the lost films The Love That Whirls (1949) and Thelema Abbey (1955), which utilize such disparate elements as Aztec human sacrifice and putative Renaissance Satanism. However, this theme only reaches its apex in Lucifer Rising (1980), an exploration of Thelemic theology filmed at such sites as Avebury, Luxor, and Karnak, which reflects and propagates the Thelemic view of the past—an ‘alternative archaeology’ rooted in Crowley’s own fascination with Egyptomania. This paper seeks to explore Anger’s use of the past and place it in its proper context of twentieth-century Western esotericism. Kenneth Anger (b.1927) is one of the foremost figures of through the transformation of individual consciousness American experimental cinema, an artist who produced via artistic mediums (Hughes 2011: 12).

    Magick and Physics by Dave Lee (from Chaotopia: Magick and Ecstasy in the PandaemonAeon , Attractor 1997) CONTENTS • The Science-Magick Interface • The Physics of Consciousness • Consciousness as a Bose-Einstein Condensate • Consequences of the theory • Conclusion: Sorcery, Metaphysics and Science Chaos Magick emerged at the end of an era whose Grand Narrative was Science and Progress. However, the ‘weird science’ narrative of Quantum Mechanics has opened the door to phenomena that would previously have been rejected. Chaos Magick has, from its inception, been coloured by this micro-Aeon of postmodernist science. How much use to the sorcerer is this science? THE SCIENCE-MAGICK INTERFACE In the past twenty years, mystics and magicians with a theoretical bent have drawn increasingly on the physical sciences for models of their experience. Fritjof Capra’s ‘The Tao of Physics’ and Gary Zukav’s ‘The Dancing Wu Li Masters’ started the ball rolling by developing the mystical implications of the observer-dependent universe; Robert Anton Wilson suggested how quantum physics is compatible with magick in ‘Illuminati Papers’. More recently, Peter J. Carroll has constructed a full-blown quantum-based theory of magick, Chaos Magick Theory (in Liber Kaos ). The peculiar features of quantum theory are:- 1. The wave property of matter and energy : Any object which obeys quantum theory (e.g. a particle such as an electron) can be in more than one place at once. Its position is ‘smeared out’ into a probability function , which tells us the probability of finding it an any given place when we measure its position; 2. The particle property of energy and matter : when we measure the position of a quantum object, we pin it down, as it were, to a particle-like state - i.e.
