Spiral

In text dealing with development of incarnated entity (Malkuth to Netzah- unortodox view), we took journey from Earth, across Moon, to Venus. Anyone having some knowledge of Kabala, will notice great schism in this concerning traditional representation of Tree of Life, although I use in same text terms like sefira and evoke their symbolism. At this point I will say that physical universe will be taken as hypothetical model of ideal, in geocentric perception system, where Earth is our point of reference, which we determined as Malkuth. I was inspired by profound insight in nature of Substance that was given to me, and by thins I m trying to elaborate that insight, in light of new possibilities in representation of symbols. Psychological development of human was taken as example to bring us to new ways of thinking outside of rigid dogma. I will deal with this example just a bit longer, but I have no desire to go in detailed elaboration here, since, I believe, every intelligent reader can following trail I set completely determine attribution of psychological development in this manner.
Further, by following trail we set out journey on, and by taking in consideration arrangement of planets in Solar System, taking Earth as reference point, we come to Mercury (Hod). And now we can talk about possibilities of dealing with values that were formed in previous phase, so one of main attributions concerning this sphere is speech (Hebrew prayer), and it is system of symbols used to refer to or determine values. By complete integration of characteristics corresponding to this influence sphere, our incarnated entity is ready to take step further, and come to ego realization, attributed to Sun’s sphere of influence, Tiphateth.
Now let us look to two dimensional model of Universe, Tree of Life. We ll see that we made polarity shift in our model comparing to ToL. And that shift occurred in area of Paroketh. And if we were to take now image of Jacobs Ladder, that basically is image of ToL trough four worlds of manifestation, we will see that Yesod of upper world takes position of Daath in lower world, placing veil of Abyss (of lower world) on level of Yesod (of upper). This could have some significance in explanation of polarity shift that we noticed below Tiphareth, if we notice that same shift occurs also above Abyss in relation to very principles represented in Sefirot on Pillars, so on Pillar of Rigor we see Mercury- active energy of intellect, then Mars- active energy of creation and destruction, and on same pillar above them is sphere of Saturn- Binah, which represents passive principle of shape and constrictment. On Jacobs Ladder, Malkuth of upper world becomes Tiphareth of lower, and Jesod, as i already mentioned, becomes Daath of lower, Hod becomes Binah, Netzah- Hokmah. When this is laid out in two dimensional glyph, we find great amount of non consistency, but if we were to imagine this as three dimensional model, with spheres arranged on pillars in spatial form, and consider this shifts of polarity, we will see Middle Pillar as axis, veils as surfaces where on intersecting points our structure bends, to make polarity shifts we noticed earlier.

Anubis godform

Godforms are they only egregore of ancient or true archetypal symbols of causal reality? Nothing exists outside existence.
I would like to dedicate this text to Anubis, god of Ancient Egypt, whos worship rises again through revival of religion and ceremonies of ancient Egypt . To utilize influence and power of godforms we have to approach them trough religion-organized system of belief, or system composed of interconnected symbols arranged in specific order of representation.
Anubis is also known as Anpu/Yinepu/Ienpu - Royal Child , Am Ut - Dweller in the chamber of embalmment, Khent Amenti - Foremost of Westerners, there couple more names which describe his function and attributes. Here you see his names in Egyptian, use of foreign languages in magickal working will be elaborated in other article. Anubis is cynocephalus, jackal headed god. Sometimes he is completely theriomorph, then his animal form is jackal. One of his main attributes is psychopomp, then he is guardian of sacred places, finder of lost, protector of abandoned, we can draw out basic idea from this. In Anpu we see both guardian of known world and guide through unknown.
He usually calls his children himself, trough dreams or vision. At first his appearance might be terrifying, maybe not only at first. He is presence is truly great. He radiates peace and cold of depths. When you talk to him, you must overcome your fears, show respect without crawling. Maybe you already communicated with him, maybe its yet to happen. I must not forget to mention, ways to attract this influence into your own sphere. He is connected to West, place of afterlife, color white as it is color of West in Egyptian tradition, in worship black is also assigned to him and North for he is Opener of Roads of North (think about Sirius, sign of Cancer, summer solstice), other color connected to him is black, times of day: dawn, sunset and midnight, those are hours of transition, metal silver, stone onix. If you have statue of Anubis it should be placed to face West. Prayer is one of most common methods to invoke/evoke divine presence, pray facing West visualizing Anpu mask on your face, if you have one even better! I find that keeping bowl of fresh water with silver and onix inside it is really appropriate and functional.

ritual and dogma

Dogma and faith in magick should be tool for accessing and connecting to symbols and mechanisms that incorporate those. Through symbols we connect to currents of energy, which are substance of microcosm. Those coexist and relate to each other according to universal laws. We can see those laws at work trough influence of planets and stars in our life, and that is lowest level of manifestation of universal laws. Planets and their influence represent material manifestation of ideas and functions from subtle or ideal world (world of idea of archetypes). Faith or dogmatic approach is here to trigger our emotional response and establish connection on line subjective/individual-objective/archetypal. Then we are enabled to exploit those currents. It could be seen as law of likeness, as we take on some emotional model, or mind frame, we transform our self according to symbols representing that current, and so attract that energy. In same way energy that is now attracted can be manipulated. Laws that govern it can also be symbolically represented. And by using those symbols we fine tune energy. Its like learning words of song then melody and with practice we could learn to sing it perfectly as creator of that song meant it to be.
From this perspective we can observe and learn ways we interact with objective reality. First we have to understand that everything around of consists of two basic categories shape and substance (energy of different frequencies). Shape can be seen as law that constricts or organizes energy, or as Love under Will Crowley spoke about.

energy play

We are all aware of presence of certain power points in our body. Those are described and explained in various traditions. There is slight difference in various sources, but we can outline basic scheme. In kundalini yoga we find concept of ida, pingala and sushma, while in kabala and Western esoteric practice we have pillars of Tree of Life co responding to that. Positive and negative current with third, middle, which represents result of those and their balance. In theory there is difference in definition of chakra and sefirot, but we will observe some those power points now strictly on microcosmic plane. I will presume that you are already fairly familiar with subject.
For most healthy and sexually active individuals, energy center located around reproductive organs(glands) is one with most potency. It is very generator of life. Many spoke of this before me so no need for repeating. How to exploit and put to use this. For better mastery and awareness of this center one should try to locate it was sphere of energy, feel it nature and force, meditate on this. Play with it in your imagination, learn to manipulate this energy using your thought and consceus will. Feel it as fire, passion, desire, then remove that feeling, and feel it empty, cold, see it locked in ice. Try to move that fire up to heart level, how you feel it there, does it change in quality or intensity, what sensations in brings then? Concentrate on energy center that is located on your plexus solaris. See it as Sun, let it shine trough your body, feel light shining trough every pore on your skin. With breathing in you draw those ray of light in. then exhale and shine out again. See your room bathing in light you create, feel space around you breathing with you. When you feel ready to finish this meditation breathe in deeply, feel that contraction like you sucked in every atom of light keep it in for moment feel it potency and power, then exhale like nuclear explosion light bursting from within you try to see how far you casted that circle of light, and keep for couple of seconds in your mind image of sphere you created.

sigil creation

Write your magickal intention on piece of paper. Extract all letters that are repeating, so that you are left only with one of each letter from your sentence. I read and heard that most people practice with removing vowels, I leave them. It works for me. My guess is that vowels are left out for simplicity of design, and maybe under influence of languages that do not contain them in written form. I seen in my experience, and in experience of others that ‘mismanifestations’ of sigils are not that uncommon. Sigils do work problem is to make them work according to your will. And that is main reason why I leave vowels, I believe that by doing so sigil becomes more precise in manifestation. Formulation is first and most important part in this work. So we come to next step, composition of sigil, its basically creation of simplest possible geometric form using letters we extracted from sentence. And there is one thing you should consider, your sentence should be always affirmative. Don’t use negations in sentence you create sigil from.
Charging sigil is next what we do… I think there is numerous methods. Most preferable is by eroto-gnosis. Now that too one should know how, its essential to keep your mind clear and empty, for beginner it could be demanding task, but some meditation, and reading on basics tantra, kundalini yoga and sex magick will surely help. For me it is most effective method. Most effective would be to keep your mind empty and then in moment of orgasm strongly visualize sigil. Alternative methods employ same mechanism, but using different things to trigger energy. Other method I like is spinning until I lose ground under my feet. Spin until you are on edge of losing consciousness, then in that moment when you feel your stomach is certainly going up, and you cant control your feet or legs anymore, visualize your sigil. This method is good in situation when you for some reason cant keep focus. Fast spinning really helps keep head empty of thoughts and creates that shift of consciousness we need for charging sigil.
There is also one thing that should be mention when we speak of sigil creation. I have to say again they do work, problem is always how they will manifest. English is not my native language as you may have noticed. So I may not give you right examples. Lets say that you are in woods miles away from civilization, and you create sigil that should manifest by bringing chocolate cake in your possession. What are odds for this to happen, it is magick, but it also depends on laws of chance. If there is no travelers campers or similar wanderers who may have chocolate cake with them. Its most certain that your sigil will not manifest chocolate cake. From my experience in such situations it manifests as something similar or close to what was your original magickal intention, but then I heard of cases where manifestations were co responding to altering combinations of letters from intention sentence.

malkuth to netzah (unortodox view)

First, body of human is formed, material in its nature, and in this body we can recognize four alchemical elements or four primary elements that compose existence, if we would study structure of body, we could find functional and relations in form with ten Sefirot of Tree of Life. It is often used to describe and explain metaphysical allegories of Adam Kademon. Body which is formed during pregnancy comes to light of day to become vehicle of incarnated entity. In relation to entity and entities connection to macrocosmos, physical body we can attribute to sphere of Malkuth. After formation and gaining certain fixed shape, that will last more or less unchanged during whole life, entity will come to next phase of development, forming of primary personality, when entity relating to its environment , tasks that are put before him, problems and expectations, forms its first relations to that environment. These are primary complexes of causal behavior, these create certain character of personality, most influence over this has family and is immediate surrounding in childhood. Forming of this aspect in appearance of incarnated entity, we can connect to sphere of Yesod, influence of astrological Moon, that can be connected to lowest, false ego, ego complexes and it insecurities that it brings. This aspect of ego is reflection of immediate sounding that reflects its self in mirror of entities mind, and that is nature of Moons influence in this lowest plane of existence. Only when this influence is transcended, and this influence is also connected to influence of mother figure in life, home, family and feeling secured. Only when entity finds strength to cross that boundary of lunar influence, it starts perceiving qualities from Necah (planet Venus) influence sphere. There are formed first conscious values of quality that are not home originated . Sense of beauty, attractive, desirable. In moment when this is perceived, entity starts to build relations with other incarnated souls. This is time when sexuality is discovered. Sexuality as material manifestation of idea of Love, which is concerned with uniting of divided, and to unite divided force of attraction is needed. When those values are perceived inside entities mind, now something new is needed, something that will enable analysis and categorization of values, so they can be arranged in system trough which our entity can operate.
