    THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES (LA CLEF DES GRANDS MYSTÈRES) BY ELIPHAS LEVI THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES ACCORDING TO ENOCH, ABRAHAM, HERMES TRISMEGISTUS AND SOLOMON BY ELIPHAS LEVI TRANSLATED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION, BY ALEISTER CROWLEY “Religion says: ‘Believe and you will un- derstand.’ Science comes to say to you: ‘Un- derstand and you will believe.’ “At that moment the whole of science will change front; the spirit, so long dethroned and forgotten, will take its ancient place; it will be demonstrated that the old traditions are all true, that the whole of paganism is only a system of corrupted and misplaced truths, that it is sufficient to cleanse them, so to say, and to put them back again in their place, to see them shine with all their rays. In a word, all ideas will change, and since on all sides a multitude of the elect cry in concert, ‘Come, Lord, come!’ why should you blame the men who throw themselves forward into that majestic future, and pride themselves on having foreseen it?” (J. De Maistre, Soirées de St. Petersbourg.) TRANSLATOR’S NOTE IN the biographical and critical essay which Mr. Waite prefixes to his Mysteries of Magic he says: ‘A word must be added of the method of this digest, which claims to be something more than translation and has been infinitely more laborious. I believe it to be in all respects faithful, and where it has been necessary or possible for it to be literal, there also it is invariably literal.’ We agree that it is either more or less than translation, and the following examples selected at haz- ard in the course of half-an-hour will enable the reader to judge whether Mr.

  • Southwestern Montana Music Assessment : a Comparison Between Rural Montana and the Extreme Rural National Assessment of Educatio
    Southwestern Montana Music Assessment : a comparison between rural Montana and the extreme rural national assessment of educational progress sample by Richard T Sietsema A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Education Montana State University © Copyright by Richard T Sietsema (1988) Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the music background and music achievement of 13-year-old rural students in Southwestern Montana. Data for the rural Montana students were established through utilization of selected music exercises found in the Second National Music Assessment component of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Responses to the assessment exercises of the Southwestern Montana students, expressed as percentages, were compared with responses of 13-year-old student's in the population sample drawn from the "Extreme Rural" type of community in the "Western Region" of the United States. The population for the author's study consisted of all 13-year-olds attending designated elementary schools in a six county area in Southwestern Montana. One, two, and three teacher K-8 schools were referred to as "Rural" while larger K-8 schools were referred to as "Town Schools." Music in the "Rural" schools was taught primarily by the classroom teacher while certified music specialists taught music in the "Town" schools. The NAEP music assessment was designed to gather data concerning demographics, home environment, in-school and outside of school activities, as well as cognitive and affective responses to selected music exercises. The Montana assessment booklet was developed by the author utilizing released exercises from the 1978-79 NAEP Music Assessment and was administered during the Fall of 1986.

  • I PASS BY, I WALK and DANCE GUIDED by HARMONIOUS COUNTING Mathematical Theory of the Universe Origin and the Order of the C
    I PASS BY, I WALK AND DANCE GUIDED BY HARMONIOUS COUNTING Mathematical theory of the Universe origin and the order of the corn account, within the Dance of the Anahuac Nation. Everardo Lara González FOREWORD This work continues the first research initiated in 1987 and published in 1993, under the name Mathematics and Symbolism in the Native dance of Mexico. I consider that, since that year, I was involved in the very first intuition of math within the traditional dance of the Anahuac. This mathematical intuition arose through the teachings generously transmitted by two persons, outstanding in their own specific areas of study: Engineer David Esparza Hidalgo, with regard to the mathematical knowledge of the Nepohualtzintzin, who devoted himself for more than thirty years of his life to the research of the Mesoamerican calculating system, as well as the contribution of the general captain of the Mesoamerican Dance, Ignacio Cortés, founder of the Tenoch group and one of the sponsors of the process for getting away from syncretism within this discipline and who, within his rehearsals of the traditional dance, suggested the presence of numbers within the rhythmic process. Afterwards, Master Cruz Hernández Ibarra, captain of the traditional dance belonging to the Mesa del Santo Niño de Atocha, kindly accepted to give information by means of interviews which were videotaped; in those interviews he teaches us about the symbolisms of certain steps within the different dances. Hernández Ibarra learned directly from Captains Gabriel Osorio and Carmelo Morales, from the zone of Guanajuato. Master Cruz’ trajectory in the traditional dance dates back to 1946 and he considers that nobody is the exclusive owner of knowledge; therefore, this must be spread towards childhood and youth as well.
