College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

The cover looks great, Jim. I love nice covers, but I'd buy this if it was covered in old newspaper.

93, All,

Jim, I just wanted to state in public how much easier 776 1/2 has made my work. The research is clear. The layout is well thought out and quite amenable to work with, if need be, on the fly in a ritual setting. And, you can actually read it under rather low light!

Thanks. It just saved my ass again a few moments ago!

93, Jim,

Reading it once as a consumer and not an editor, I liked it and think it will especially help those relatively new to the subject.

No criticisms here.

I'm fairly certain I've some hydrochloric acid sitting next to my jar of Eye of Newt.

93, All,

Jung: antisemitism, Freud: cocaine and adultery, Crowley: misogyny.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain this is all superficial. Plus, regardless of all attempts, politics is not religion.

'Ronin'. A good term. As long as, the 'Masterless Warrior' isn't confused with a 'Masterless Master'!

I finished the title a couple of weeks ago. I often wonder how such reading material appears to those unfamiliar with the subjects discussed.

Anyway, while I'm not prepared to critique the book, I did come away with the feeling that I'd like to take more interest in Fortune.

"Yes... but add the Aleph back and it puts the first word into the future tense also: Aberah h'adevara means, "I shall create as I shall speak.""

Now, it makes perfect sense!

"I notice that the Middle Pillar Ritual given in 776 1/2 replaces Regardie's version of YHVH ALOAH ve-DAATH with IAO at Tiphareth. What was the logic behind this substitution?

Actually, Regardie also suggests this variation. (no source materaial with me to quote from, though)

I also agree with Jim in that it is very powerful to vibrate. (cf. Liber XV; and, as FIAOF, in Liber V vel Reguli, etc.)

In other words:

Success is thy proof!

P.S.

I reserved the newest offering on Amazon with the seller to be shipped next Friday.

(I win! )

Yeah. It looks like the market bears around $600. All the volumes priced $800 plus just sit there waiting for the underinformed.

I think it's funny how several sources I know personally won't let them go for less than $1500. I'm wondering what planet they live on as it certainly isn't the same one on which I live and breathe.

The two volume set is fine if you like small print.

Thanks!

93, All,

I'm looking to purchase a decent (I don't really need bibliophile quality) copy of the Equinox Vol One set. I'd prefer the 10 vol set as opposed to the two book set.

Any possible leads? I missed a set for $500 on Amazon just days ago.

93, Jim and All,

I'm looking forward to this document and am also considering reserving both versions of 776 1/2.

I've often been puzzled by this (almost legendary) rewrite.

93s,

Br. C.

I know it became obvious for me once I started using it as a mantra.

It's also rather fruitful as a mantra...
