SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PATHS OF THE PENTAGRAM OF THE SPIRIT AND WHERE THEY LEAD.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
ahih and agla balance actives and passives,
each moving up along the lower lines of the pentagram.Thus, they balance spirit. These lead to the paths of SAMEKH– RESH -TZADDI.
Why? Obviously – it is because Spirit leads to Samekh – it is the path that leads directly to the Holy One.
At one moment I received the Sword and the Pen. From then on I knew that to attain to the knowledge and conversation of the Holy One, I had to experience true Death. Only true death can balance true life.In my experience, it is hard to attain to RESH without first experiencing death. – there can be no Source of Light without first the path of Darkness and Death. The Path of Death. I have myself learned this from my retreat in 1999 e.v., when I was at the Devils Nest in the U.S. and later travelled to the East..
At last there is the question of Tzaddi. Tzaddi is the Emperor – but also the Star. Obviously, the Star and the Emperor – to me, signify the Beauty and the Beast. They are one in the new aeon.
Therefore, to attain to the mystery of Spirit, one must experience initiation into the mysteries of love, as the Fidele d'Amore did, only by the alchymical marriage can the Poet reach his Batrice! Obviously, here is the sign of the Portal, because the Priest can only attain to Nuit, the kisses of her mouth and the milk of the stars from her paps, by unveiling his Goddess Isis. It is a reference to the work of the Spirit, which I believe that I have personal experience with.
I did that and had strong experience.The sign of the Spirit – is the Sun. This Pentagram of the Spirit is actually the inner cult of the Sun.
it is the first step on the path of The σκάφους αστέρι, the star-vessel, which leads in this instance to the Inner Sun - or Tiphareth.
To balance passives, we learn of AGLA from the Hermetical Tradition of the G.D.
AGLA means
«Atah Gibor Le-olam Adonai»
,"You, O Lord, are mighty forever."Another meaning is:
«Athah gabor leolah, adonai»,
(אתה גבור לעולם אדני) -«Thou art powerful and eternal, Lord».
The interpretation of this word of Power in the G.D. Is:
AGLA (אגלא)
"A the one first, A the one last,
G, the trinity in unity, L, the completion of the Great Work." (Mathers).Ieolah is similar to Elia. This is the hidden name of Leilah, in my experience – and also the scarlet woman.
Because Leilah – is also Lily – the blossom of the æra novæ. She is also Lilith and a Star-vessel Babalon the Great.These were my thoughts of today. No more.
Hope for some enlightening thoughts from those of you who have experience with the Invocations of the Pentagram.Love is the law, love under will.

"The second meaning is the same as the first. "Leolah" is just a corrupted (incorrect) transliteration of the Hebrew word below it. The actual word shown below is Le-Olam ("le" meaning "to" and "olam" meaning eternity/the world/existence/the universe) and bears no relationship with Eliah or Leilah apart from the letter Lamed.

"[It matters that the 'intent' is correct behind his understanding of the word. Not that the words are said exactly as the ancient hebrews used to say them... in which case we would all suffer badly from our lack, Av.
"Well, sure, a person's personal set of symbols is important to them. But not really very useful to the rest of us, unless there is some sort of "objective" basis for it.
If I say that as a kid "off" and "fall" were opposite words in my mind (since as a kid, I dropped the "ll" sound), and that it led me to be especially vigilant when turning "off" a light, so as to not "fall" down, then the best take away I can imagine is that we are reminded of a naive consciousness that we all possessed as little children. It's still not correct, or useful to others, to say that "off" and "fall" are related in the way I described.

Then it should be fairly easy for you to quote a few paragraphs... (in context mind you) - that demonstrate my 'man hating' fervour that speaks for itself!
Roll em out!
[Added]
Although I hope you don't expect me to love all men or anything christian. Some men are assholes sometimes. Some women are assholes sometimes. I'm an {***hole} sometimes... and btw -you're being an {***hole} right now.
Still love ya, Takamba.
""In the same way... that a man says that a woman cannot understand the torment he goes through, when dealing with the betrayal of a best friend... because it is something that is a betrayal to his own sex and their shared experiences of masculinity, then the betrayal of a female friend cuts just as deep to a woman."
Here we see, in context, an out of context statement in a thread where you introduce the division of the genders.

Keep in mind that on several occasions, including within your poetry, you've equated "hierarchy" with "male chauvinism" in ways. I'm not going to bother to search more out unless you really insist on not looking within.
Added: I almost forgot to mention a certain thread with several poems you placed that got deleted. The thread itself got deleted not for cause of you or I, but allegedly for reasons I won't state and I don't relate.
My main point is that you seem to present issues with the male sex in your writings and though I understand how these attitudes applied 20 years ago, I don't relate in the least.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
In response to 'some thoughts about the pentagram of the Spirit':
Hopefully, when personality patterns become recognized, we can come in right relation to our elements by adjusting our psychosoma. In the Magick paradigm, this is the coordinating job of the Spirit through ritual, both ceremonially and in life in general.
Sometimes, personality patterns are so ingrained with ego-identity, we fail to recognize them, citing them as part of "me" or "I". Frequent use of these identification words are interesting, as one begins to question what "I" is. As the more fluid "I" becomes, there is an identification of greatness AND smallness simultaneously.
How many things want to cling to the "I"! And how ardent the defense of it at times! And how proud the masculine components of the elements can become when threatened by equilibrium!
This is where the Spirit comes in.
**SOLVE **et Coagula. Hopefully, we can recognize dis-ease and adjust.
Love is the law, love under will.

With that I agree so much, and then the problem dissolves when the problem is recognized as the so-called "I" you speak of.
There is no other solution. -

"It's all about the child." - Rose Edith Kelly. Judging from pop culture today, and the cusp of my High School graduation generation (1986) - your androgyny notion is indeed exactly what is transforming itself now. Look at the younger to see what's going on.
