College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

Thank you SO much!!!!

Thank you Jim, do you know where I can read it? I would really like to know more about it. I also can't seem to find an angelic correspondence for da'at....

Has Da'at its equivalent in the qlipoth tree?

If i understand correctly, the god you mention is the head-god of the specific sphere, not god intended as the Godhead as such?
This principle would work also with the Qlipoth...

Thank you Jim... do you believe that planetary angels have their corresponding planetary elementals, like a planetary fairy for example? I read this concept in a book, but I have never come across it before. It would make sense that above mirrors below, but maybe not with this one

This gives me food for thought........ Jim, when you mentioned angel of mars and the distortion of mercury ideas, I suddenly thought: would working with the corresponding planetary angel helps someone with an afflicted mercury or mars, someone who displays the destructive influences of Samael? Would this help or is it best left alone?

I must get the book, it's on my wishlist.
The book by Dragon Rouge describes Samael as the one who tempts with knowledge. This is quite different from "false accusers" which one is correct?

Thank you Jim So for example, Hod corresponds to Archangel Michael, in the Q'lippoth to Samael and false accusers. Would this be correct?

So how would a Thelemite refer to the averse reflection of the Tree of life? What is the correct term? would tree of the Qlipoth be correct or tree of evil as I saw written in a book? (can't remember which one)

quick question: is the method descrbed in "portae lucis" a valid one, as it is heavily reliant on astrology?

For example:

Second Method: Zodiacal Configurations

Following the same method of passive charging, the products can also be loaded during astrologically favorable times of the year. This method has the advantage that it charges more quickly, but the disadvantage that it takes an entire year to do it, and if a cycle is missed, so is the opportunity for charging for that year.

Saturn product are charged after the winter solstice, around January 10th.

Solar products are charged thirty minutes after sunrise, with the moon under the horizon, forty days before or after the Winter Solstice. Solar products should not be loaded during the above mentioned time frame as the Air and Fire Elements are weak.

Lunar products are charged when the moon is above the horizon and within three day before or after the day between the head and the tail of the dragon. The sun must be under the horizon however.

Times to Avoid

The period of two weeks prior to an following the Winter Solstice is to be avoided for all Alchemical, Qabalistic work, or the charging of these products. Thus, we stock energies via astrology or planetary genius’ when the energies are strong and easily available.

Thank you Jim for clarifying that. Yes, it's confusing and there is a lot of misinformation on the web, so thank you for the explanation

Does Thelema follow the left-hand path?

They claim to follow the left hand path if I have read correctly. Not a system I want to follow....

ok thank you (i saw it written on the picture kindly posted by frater INRI). Has the Qlipoth tree a specific name?

Why is the Tree of the Qlipoth called the Tree of Knowledge? I have seen elsewhere that it's called the Tree of Evil. Do any of you know?

It contains the Qlipoth lessons by Mathers, so it looks like it can very well be the one. Thank you so much Jim. I have liber 777 but I find it hard to navigate on my own.

Returning to Malkuth the bride vs Lilith the whore, isn't Lilith more an "anti mother"? Maybe this applies more to the reverse of Malkuth?

Thank you Jim, I am very interested to know more from reliable sources. Where can I find Zalewski's books?

Thank you Jim, that makes a lot of sense. Regarding the Tree and its averse reflection, are there any Angel - Demons correspondences? i.e. seraphim, cherubim and their averse correspondences to the spheres?

I am trying to use the tree as a cosmic filing cabinet

@Jim said

" For example, the 11-headed serpent symbolizes many things, including shadow elements that ascend the Tree with us (our shadow content increasing with us as we increase in light, at least below the Abyss)."

Jim, I was thinking about your words and asked myself how is this possible? Is it because the more we know the more potential we have to do serious harm? By ascending the Tree do you mean walking the paths and spheres?

Thank you Jim, I have just read it. Do you think the moon phase is worth recording?
