This question, with which you ended, is another way of asking the following:

"Why should I act in a way that makes me effective in my life and takes me down paths I choose to follow, instead of choosing behaviors that will sabotage me?"

For most people, this is a practical question - effective life management - not a human rights question, IMHO.

OTOH, if you want to frame it as a human rights question specifically, then you are adopting the role of other civil rights warriors over the years: You have to be willing to pay the price, whatever it is. The victory in these matters is not necessarily for you, but is especially for those who come after you."

Either way, the connection you're making is understanding the Nuit-side of context.

The idealist, or the less mature, or the ego-attached side of us wants to act as if the reality of context doesn't exist. And that side feels deprived of comforting illusions when faced with the task of letting those go to be replaced with "the needs of the situation".

IMHO the joy and luxury described in TBOTL is about the stuff we get to experience and share in (not possess!) once we let go of attachment to the idea of possessing joy and luxury on our individual terms.

Well, this watering hole seems a bit dry.

All I can say that this Tradition will carry on. As I have died and come back, and IAO is also forever. Thelema must sustain so I will give.

If you looked at a Tree in the river, what would it say?

My head hurts 😞

"Thank you Jim. That's reaching way back to antiquity, I didn't even know such a book existed. Its going to take me some time to learn how to use it, but knowing what it is helps. Have you found the book useful?"

It's my primary reference on Biblical Hebrew, and has been useful especially in studying Hebrew etymology (tracking specific words through their trilateral roots).

Although we have nearly 200 years of scholarly progress post-Gesenius, a majority of what has been learned has been built directly atop Gesenius' work."

I needed a little while to comprehend your response. Thank you for sharing your insights.

"I have confirmed with the Greek Qabalah the correct word is NOMOS and not NOMOC as would appear..."

If you're taking an interest in Greek words, you should be aware that what looks like a "C" is an alternate way of writing a Greek "Sigma".

So I find a Keyword in AL (YAHUSHU) and a poster named JOSHUA shows up on the thread 😆 . Thats the way it works. If you ever need a Magickal name, this might be a good one that gives you a 93!

Thank you for the link. I have not studied those verses in depth yet, but the string adds up to 351 based on the system hidden on page 61 of the manuscript (page 16 chapter 3). Check out 351 in Sepher Sephiroth (it is not a Key per se like the others, but a very important number along the lines of a checksum). In this thread, I will keep focus on the verse at hand. I am well beyond any debates on this cipher or that Qabalah. I use them all, and other techniques, and I produce valid and verifiable (both mathematical and literary and other) results with Keys with methods and Formulas based on the Thelemic Keys. But thanks for the link, I look forward to reading more of it in detail.

"The Ciceros provide the Hermetic Talismanic Image for every angel associated with the Tarot."

Are not the Atus themselves Talismanic images? Why create a different one for their Angels? I suppose if one wanted to create a corresponding talisman for an Atu a simplified mandala of the energy frequency might be useful."

For the MAJOR ARCANA, yes, that is true.

"Wholly but sects."

Very punny.

For some reason I can't edit my post, but I forgot to thank you specifically for taking the time to reference the private instruction and share it. Most appreciated and humbling.

Very, very powerful stuff!!! Not somehting to be triffled with for sure. As vOrtex666 said "One can get a sun burn in the dark!!!". 😆 I agree w/Jim in that East is definately the anchor as all luminaries/reflectories rise in the East and of course set in the West. My only problem I still deal w/w these types of workings is going from West back to East. It is as if I feel forced to b/whirled back round by Polarization and of course this is what happens in my own field I suppose and is what the discussion b/4 splitting into two subjects starts dealing with if I am recalling most of this forum correctly?

L.V.X. x Love x Will = Magnitude.

"Ok...what exactly are the lines for these "Sigils" being made from? Like, where does one begin and end and why? Not trying to be a dick or anything but that looks useless."

Likewise, my first expression was "?!"

Not that you're on the wrong track altogether, but scrying and scribbling are two different things.

It is wise to avoid self deception, and such is the use of proceeding by means of Qabalah, i.e.: how does this information fit in to the Tree of Life? In other terms, how does this knowledge impact your Will?

Also, I would avoid drawing the sigils of demons on pages from Liber Legis.

Thank You Jim, that lines up with my intuition, for what its worth. And thanks for clarifying the correct pronounciation for ARARITA. I got the initial interpretation from Levi. I look forward to using the 'upgrade' you have provided. Is there ever an instance where I would want to banish a specific planet? All the banishing I have done is with LBRP, and all the planetary work has been invoking. I can't think of when I might need to banish a planet, aside from my initial assertion which was incorrect.

RifRaf, the godform, is hard to put a timebox on, for me anway. I swear I could do the Work and godforms full time and be happy as can be in this spacesuit. I did not predetermine a time, but let the results run their course. I find that these godforms are 'sticky', meaning I find myself morphing into them long after the ritual, either in astral form and a few times a personality shift associated with it, all quite random.

frankly, it sounds like the one dude just isn't sealing his house and/or himself. i don't count it as a point of honor myself when there's all kinds of qliphotic garbage floating around in my aura.

Love is the law, love under will

Very interesting observations Escarabajo.

"the Hanged Man's feet look to me like they are swapped, left foot for right foot"

Thats a great observation. Also he seems to be wearing a helmet or there is a bubble around his head.

I had similiar thoughts around the C but have not worked out the figures yet. On the Magus card, I also noticed the switch of the symbols while making my own cards, just out of the blank side of index cards with the key correspondences. They are used as flash cards to identify each astrological, Hebrew letter, value, etc, I find it is easier to learn these fundamentals without the distraction of the art. Very soon I plan to trim my deck, so those things on the border wont matter anyway. I can vibrate the cards better without the border (if anyone has done this or has any advice about how to trim the deck without butchering it would be good to hear it). I'm not sure if the switch in position means anything.

Another thing about the Magician I recently noticed is the 11 in his crown, with lightning going down each one vertically.

(yes this is the part where I refer you to the first post disclaimer, batsh*t crazy, etc)

Another of interest is 3 of disks, Works. It seems as if many of these cards are blueprints for energy patterns, patterns of force, or blueprints for creating an energy system or configuration. This one has the triangle, fundamental shape of force as explained in A Note on Genesis and elsewhere. The alchemical attributions appear to be mercury, sulpher, silver. There is a small arrow pointing downward (or is it pointing up...hmmm) from the top sphere (mercury). This is in other cards too such as 6 of Swords, Science. The arrows point to intersecting lines which contain symbols and sigils when pulled out and connected.

And because 3 of Disks is in Mars, or maybe for ne reason at all,

Ah it is a fine symbol. maybe something to look for in a Dream. Another interpretation is the emergence of the 4 Worlds, with Assiah the fourth as the arrows, representing the return to Nothing in the infinite cycle of emergence, renewal, change, and return to the Source, and void of duality.
