Alternate Holy Season attributions
-
I wasn't going to share this at first because it's just for my own use, but hey, maybe someone will find it interesting. When I first saw Eshelman's idea for the Thelemic Holy Season I found it pretty cool, but soon realized I was unhappy with certain readings attributed to the 22 days. The main issue I had was that I wanted to have a class A-only season (so no Liber Librae, as inspiring as that text is). Also, I didn't like the two Ararita chapters since that leaves the book incomplete. So I made a slightly altered version a year ago. Below are my changes and explanations. Overall they are only a few.
On Tav, I did away with having two readings on the same day, leaving only the Saturn chapter and saving the Earth chapter for later.
On Samekh, I substituted the Spirit chapter of LXV for Ararita.
On Lamed, I substituted the Air chapter for Librae. (Because Libra is an "Air sign.")
On Yod, I substituted Liber Magi for the Mercury chapter. (Because the Magus relates both to Mercury and Chokmah. Virgo is ruled by and exalted in Mercury; Chokmah is also Yod.)
On Zayin, I substituted the Mercury chapter for the Air chapter. (Because Gemini is ruled by Mercury.)
On Vav, I substituted the Earth chapter for the Spirit chapter. (Since Taurus is an "Earth sign.")
On Heh, I substituted Liber Porta Lucis for Ararita. (Because Heh-final is Malkuth and the book relates to that sephirah. Also, the theme of the book fits the Trump.)
