Genii of the 22 scales + telesmatic digression
-
has anyone here had any experience in working with the genii as listed in liber xxii domarum mercurii cum suis geniis (liber 231)? i can find virtually nothing on workings involving these mysterious spirits, but plenty on their qliphothic counterparts. it seems in fact that the mercurii beings have been almost completely ignored by contemporary practitioners in favour of the qliphoth. maybe people really are more enamoured with the "dark", but i personally have as much interest in mucking around with the qliphoth as i have in taking a swim in sewage. i'm much more intrigued by the genii of the 22 scales of the serpent.
liber arcanorum gives us the sigils and the names of these genii, so i presume evocation is a possible route of exploration. the names are especially unusual, combining roman, greek and hebrew letters, and also sometimes incorporating magical formulae, e.g. "Chiva-abrahadabra-cadaxviii" (in fact the end of that one almost looks like a roman numeral) and "Vuaretza—[a secret name follows]" (a guess only, but could the secret name be the "m....." word from pyramidos?).
so lets say one were to attempt evoking the spirit of the beth path, Beצθaoooabitom ("bitom" at the end? enochian?) from the top of the hierarchy down it would be Elohim Tzabaoth, Mikael, Raphael, Tiriel, and Beצθaoooabitom.
now for the telesmatic digression. i'll be honest and state that all my knowledge regarding the construction of telesmatic images comes from this forum, this thread - <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.heruraha.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4726">viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4726</a><!-- l --> - in particular, and from checking out the tables of correspondence in 776 1/2. i would love to see the second order temple of thelema document on all this available on here, but that's mr. eshelman's call, and i respect his decisions regarding discretion.
so here is what i get in attempt to construct a telesmatic image of Beצθaoooabitom:
B - Mercury - a high energy vibration around the head
e - Aquarius - radiance of silver starlight
צ (pronounced as a glottal stop?) - Capricorn - goat like face
θ - Saturn - indigo dress on the upper body
a - Air - pale yellow girdle or wings?
ooo - Capricorn x 3 - inverted petagram? goat like body? erect phallus?
a - Air - pale yellow once again
b - Mercury - cadecus
i - Virgo - pale grey robe or hairs
t - Leo - strong yellow legs
o - Capricorn - hooves
m - Water - standing on waterso far, so baphomet-esque...
anyhow, really intrigued to hear any and all thoughts, comments or experiences on this.
