Pro Peh Psi.

93!
P=XV
     The destruction of the Temple, the House of God, echoing the prophecy Jesus made about his death. And here upon the day of his resurrection, we have the end of the Aeon of which he's the Key figure. The crown it once wore is cast down as a new ruler must take residence when it is to be rebuilt. The fiery destruction of Judgement marks this end (see entry for 'B').
     This is the trump of Mars who rules the now present House of Ares, even as it's exalted in the previous trump of Capricorn; The Devil, who is the Great Dragon and this marks his fiery red color and nature. It's also the Iron Rod of the new ruler to come. XV=S(1-5)

     This is also the earthquake, thunder and lightening that marks the Soul shooting as a Star into the heavens from the banks of the River Lethe. This is the time of reincarnation.

Potential Power Pressures Precarious Positions!



Saturday 30 March 2013

Open the Way.

93!
O=XIV
     The Easter theme was unexpected but fits well, as today is the trump of The Devil and is given to the day that Jesus descends into Hell to redeem the dead.
      In Aeonic terms, this trump is a depiction of Set, whose murdering of Asar opens the way for Oros (Horus) to take the throne, having subdued and bound Set. This recalls the HGA operation as the Light is brought to darkness; the Angel is used to bind the Demon.

     In terms of the theme of reincarnation that has been flowing through the trumps, this is the River of Lethe, whose name is Forgetfulness or Unmindfulness. Mind=Memory, and thus we may call it Ignorance, to 'Not Know' or the opposite of Gnosis which is Agnoia. The amount of these waters that we drink before we reincarnate determines how much of our past life/lives we can recall, and further, determines the type of person who seeks and questions such things and those who could care less about it all: Mystic and Materialist.
     The Devil, the Great Dragon, Satan the Adversary, are those who question and argue with the established ideas of the institution of organized religion and society. This is well summed in the tale of the Serpent in Eden. It is Lucifer, the bringer of Illumination and Gnosis, the Liberator of humanity, who fell that we might gain freedom from the Demiurgic tyrant who had created slaves and which is perpetuated in its continuing institutions: Religion and Commerce. The former to enslave the spirit of humanity and keep them repressed in Fear. The latter to enslave the mind and body in the bondage of wants and desires that keep us slave to the system. Forever the two chained to the Rock, worshipping the Great Lie, blanketed in Ignorance.

Only One Oath.

NIght NAture's NOught

93!
N=XIII
     Today begins the 2nd half of the letters and trumps. It is also Jesus' burial in the Tomb for Easter. The 3 days that he is dead for may be symbolic of the 3 beasts of Death/Scorpio: the Scorpion for the physical pain, the scourging and crucifixion. The Serpent for the transition of his death as he 'sheds his skin' to a new body. The Eagle is his resurrection, on Sun-day.
     Yesterday was M as the vibration of AOM and now N as in Amen or Amun, 'The Hidden One'. For that which is hidden in this time is the Transition from one life to the other, the visible to the invisible. Crowley has given us AUMGN, where MGN=93, and the G is unspoken even as it is unseen and Hidden from the passage of M to N in the alphabet and yesterday to today, as Silence before Speech.  
     I would refer back to March 22nd, for Day 'G' and the image that is there which is the spiral that is seen even in the Thoth trump of Death, and is one with the Wave of yesterday's entry.

Luna in Scorpio.

Mutter Wasser,

93!
M=XII
     Today is M, the ending of AOM, the drone of dissolution even as the Sun falls into the waters of the west, the land of Amenta. Reflecting upon the life we have lived, deeds done, and so on. But past the surface, we must go deeper into the waters of the soul and uncover those things which are Hidden and Concelaed, tokens of wisdom, each a Jewel that reflects the stars above. This requires a sacrifice, for there is no Take without a Give, as an Offering.
     Waves disturb the surface, losing the vision of depth, even as thoughts disturb consciousness and dreams disturb sleep, but such is Life.

Waters Of Mother's Birth.
Terminus Of My Being.

     It is also fitting that today is the Last Supper that leads to the Passion of the Dying God, Jesus.

Lot of Life

93!
L=XI
     Today is L, Justice and Truth and this is the Goddess Aletheia, whose name is Remembering. This is also the Re-Membering of the body of Asar (Osiris) after is was cloven in pieces by Set.  This Re-Union was done by the magick of Iset (Isis), who gives him his new Member by which she then conceives of Orus (Horus). Asar then becomes the ruler of the Dead in the Hall of Ma'at, who is Truth and whose scales are Justice, where the Heart of the dead is weighed against the Feather of Truth. The deeds from their previous Life are all beheld from this new perspective, and so our new Lot is thus determined.

Karma's Lot.

93!
K=X
     The 11th letter is today, and the Wheel of Fortune, Chance and Luck spun by the Hand of Jove. With his other Hand he holds the Staff of the Winged Globe that is the axle of that Wheel, still and silent. This Staff is called Ananke-The Goddess of Necessity, the Spindle from which the Thread of our Life shall be woven.
     The Lot of Fortune (on our natal chart) is the Essence of who we are, our Path and Purpose, Way and Will in this Life. It is determined from 3 co-ordinates; Sol(Sulphur), Luna(Mercury) and Rising(Salt) signs of our chart.
     There are also 3 Goddesses; Lachesis, the Allotter who sets the planets of our birth chart, based on our Lot, and rules our Sun sign.  Klotho, the Spinner, who binds us to the thread and rules our Moon sign. Atropos, the Inevitable who cuts the thread and rules our Rising sign.

Journey Below Mater.


93!
J=IX
     It is the 9th day in and the letter is thus J, following 'I', which both of their Root in Yod. The hook of the J denotes the descent below the crust of the earth that the I of Virgo is (see The Book of Thoth on The Hermit). Thus we have the appearance of Hades' hound of Hell in The Hermit, and so here is the Throne of Hades in the Abyss, or Hell or Concealed Place, being the Treasureshouse of riches, each jewel of Knowledge ours for the taking, if we Dare.  
     It is the Cave in which the Hermit has secluded themselves, even the Hood of Invisibility that is the weapon of Hades.

Sunday 24 March 2013

I Am On.

93!
I=VIII
     The 24th of March is 'I', and most fitting as the 8th trump, for 8 is the number of Mercury which is both ruling and exalted in the sign of Virgo; The Hermit. The Staff the Seed the Sandal and the Silence in Seclusion, even in the Hermit's cave in the desert.

I Aye Eye.

Saturday 23 March 2013

Herald of Victory!

93!
VII=H
     On March 23rd 1904, Crowley records this; "The Secret of Wisdom." The day previous he records that this day is the "great day of Invocation." As to which one it it, and the aforementioned results, there is no record.
     The ritual done, the reception of Wisdom's secret, hidden and silent in success, victory veiled.

Hail the Holy House 418!

Friday 22 March 2013

Give me rest.

93!
G=VI
     It was on this day of March 22nd, 1904ev that Crowley records: "The day of rest, on which nothing whatever of magic is to be done at all. ☿ (Wednesday) is to be the great day of invocation." For this is the 7th day and thus the ending of the first week or sorts.
     The Temple is builded, the forces set in motion, the Aeon manifest.

Geometry: Temple, Circle, Cube, Centre. Golden: 6

   



Thursday 21 March 2013

Forthcoming of the Word.

93!
F=V
     On this day, March 21st 1904, Crowley only records that is is Sol in Ares and it's Spring Equinox.
     It is day F, derived from Vav, the letter of the Hierophant who is the revealer of the sacred, enthroned in the east as Prince and Priest. This is Horus taking the Throne as its Heir after the death of his father Asar (Osiris). For:
     "Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs. Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the Gods." Al 1:49.
     This is the day of the enthronement of Horus. The word 'Seat' is the very meaning of Iset his mother, whose glyph is the Throne itself. This also gives the image of Horus seated upon his mother, denoting his birth.
     Thus we have Horus as the God taking his rightful Throne as the Hierophant of the Aeon, and also as the Crowned and Conquering Child newly born, to continue the cycle that is summed in the Formula of VIAOV, the growth of the Child, and these are the 2 V's, which are One in the Sun/on.

S.N.A.S. Solar Return.

93!
     I would like announce the Secret Name and Splendour Clerk-House's 2nd birthday today. I would call it something akin to a Period of Speech and a Period of Silence the past 2 years. I have always likened it to being my Child and as such, it has it's own needs to be met and a Will of its own to be realized. It is, after all, the Path of The Sun as the link between Grades, and though the Sun may be visible and invisible as Dawn & Dusk; It's Altogether Omnipresent.
     We shall see what comes as it begins its 3rd year.
 
     To celebrate its 2nd Birthday, I have rehung it in a new place, from over the Temple to over my working desk, where my library is. Here it serves to shine as a constant presence in my outer work and life.

Eonic Star of Ecstacy

93!
E=IV
     It was on this day, March 20th 1904ev that Crowley does the second performance of the Invocation of Horus, and records; "Equinox of the Gods [...] Hoori now Hierophant." Also; "Revealed [...] that the Equinox of the Gods is come, Horus taking the Throne of the East and all rituals, etc., being abrogated."
    
     In ancient Egypt the new year was marked by the flooding of the Nile as the Star of ISIS rose and this is shown in the trump of The Star. The connection of Tzaddi and Heh is the Ares as the Equinox of the Gods, the Aeon of Horus, and also the Age of Aquarius and our New Year.

     Thus marks year One in the Thelemic calendar making today the 109th year, or Anno IVxxi via the Trumps method of timekeeping. So Happy New Year to All, may it be filled with Liberty Love Light and Life!

E lation! Ea O!

Door of Delight Opened.

93!
D=III
     It was on this day, March 19th, 1904ev that Crowley first performed the Invocation of Horus, with little success. The skeleton of the ritual was revealed by Ouarda, (which means Rose), on the 18th, which was also a Friday, sacred to Venus as is the Rose, her magickal title for the operation.  
     It is this Path of divine Love (Agape) that joins the Supernal dyad, and in their Unity is the Crowned and Conquering Child realized and thus born and is the Son behind the Sun.
   
D Light therein!

Monday 18 March 2013

C the Priestess.

93!
C=II
     On March 18th, 1904, Ouarda the Seer did see Horus in the Boulak Museum in the Victorious City, proclaiming; "There, there he is!." Though her eyes could not make out the object in particular, upon approaching the cabinet, Crowley saw an Egyptian funerary Stele on which Horus was indeed painted. The catalog number was his own; 666.
     Ouarda, the Priestess and Chioa Khan (Crowley's name at the time) the Beast, even as these Paths join upon the Tree to form the Mark of the Beast.
     They had been marked as the talisman of the Aeon was found, and so the next step taken in the coming of the Equinox of the Gods, and leading to the reception of the Law of Thelema.

Behold, and C.


Sunday 17 March 2013

B=Blowing the Horn

93!
B=I
     It was on this date of March 17th, 1904 that Ouarda delivers the continuing message "its all about the child"  and "all Osiris." Crowley invokes Tehuti to clarify the events. He wrote a ritual called Liber Israfel and this refers to the Path of Judgement which he retitled, The Aeon. And this is the Path of Fire that leaves Hod, the sphere of the messenger or herald, and links to Malkuth, the Earth. Israfel is the archangel in the Koran that sounds their trumpet to signal the end of the world, or the apocalypse. And it is this that was shown on the Rider-Waite trump.
     It marks the end of the Aeon of Osiris and the Age of Pisces, and The Aeon marks the initiation of the Aeon of Horus and the Age of Aquarius. The Magus proclaims his Word or Logos and brings down Fire from Heaven. Let us not forget that in The Equinox of the Gods, chapter 6 is titled The Great Revelation. The Arising of the Beast 666. 9=2. The Grade of Magus. The Beast that rose up from the Great Sea of Binah to take his Grade (Revelation 13:1).

Be!

Saturday 16 March 2013

A, the first Breath.

93!
A=0
     This day, March 16th, in 1904, Crowley sought to show Rose the Sylphs, being the spirits of Air, through the ritual of The Bornless One. She didn't see them, but did receive inspiration in the message she gave to him; "They're waiting for you." 
     This is the first entry in The Equinox of the Gods under 'The Book of Results', and the first step that leads both the the advent of the Aeon of Horus, and the reception of The Book of the Law. A span of 26 days.
     Take a moment this day to draw deep this Breath that gives Life to the Law, and the first step in receiving the Law of Liberty.
     And release;
Ahh!
