Qabalah And Planetary Magic

Qabalah And Planetary Magic
Alchemical Qabalistic Air of secrecy.BY Fair-haired Switch on IMPERATORDAVID GRIFFINEqually I published my in mint condition certificate on Qabalah and the Fair-haired Switch on (At home), scholars in the Fair-haired Switch on community gorge requested I keep references to support inaccuracies in the Fair-haired Dawn's Qabalistic ranking for Lunar Air of secrecy.I leader vacant this sign in 1999, on pages 142-144 of the Exercise Air of secrecy Guide. I reproduce it clothed in for the value of scholars of the Fair-haired Switch on tradition:"Regarding the Lunar Hierarchy of Foretell and Angelical Names, new study has revealed the traditional enormity amid Sephirothic and Lunar Hierarchies to be secret. The conventional enormity lies fairly amid Sephirothic and Kameothic Heirarchies. In the "Lunar" Hierarchy, the Foretell Names are introduce somebody to an area of the Sephirothic Heirarchy, despite the fact that the names of the Lunar Inteligences and Self-confidence escort from a engine of Air of secrecy Squares called the Kameoth. All that filtrate of the "Lunar" Hierarchy are the supposed Archangels of the Planets, spelled in record modern sources as: Cassiel, Sachiel, Zamael, Michael, Anael, Raphael, and Gabriel. Fascinatingly, of all the Hierarchies, these "Archangels" are the only this minute entities whose Names Regardie does not grant in Hebrew. Moreover, the Hebrew spellings liable by Aleister Crowley for these Names in 777 "(Aleister Crowley, 777 and A long way Qabalistic Writings, ed. Israel Regardie (York Beach: Weiser, 1973), p. 35)" are unreservedly erroneous, on the cards mobile a retransliteration indoors Hebrew of the English transliteration liable by Regardie. "Various versions of Sepher Ratziel, an crucial Jewish magical facsimile, suitably demonstrate the origin of these Names in the Sephirothic Hierarchy. (See Aryeh Kaplan, Sefer Yetzirah, The Discover of Organization, in Conjecture and Polish, 1st File ed. (Yorke Beach: Weiser, 1990), p. 168) for examples of singular versions of this Hierarchy from Sepher Ratziel.)" Fascinatingly, the names of the Archangels Michael and Raphael are not still transposed in the singular versions of the Sepher Raziel manuscripts as they are in the "Lunar" Hierarchy. Moreover, rear manuscripts indicate that the outlook itself of a "Lunar" Hierarchy on the cards originates as a Qabalistic getting used to of an rear engine of Lunar Air of secrecy, apparently Chaldean in origin. "(See The Discern of the Chaldeans in Three Machinery of Ancient Jewish Air of secrecy, ed. and trans. Moses Gaster and Samuel Daiches (Hastings: Cthonios, 1986) for the resume of an primary verify vivid the destiny of a Chaldean origin and Qablistic getting used to of this everyday.) Behind restored to conventional Hebrew spellings, it becomes expert that the names of this Hierarchy are certainly not "Archangelic" in conception at all. (See, ibid, for the conventional spellings of the names of this Hierarchy.)" For warning, to the same extent acceptably spelled in Hebrew, the name of the "Seraph" of Mars is in legitimacy the arch-demon "Samael". By means of one unlimited exclusion, record of the other names of this Hierarchy are reach exchangeable with the Archangels of the Sephirothic Hierarchy. Fascinatingly, the name "Sachiel" liable by Regardie as the "Seraph of Jupiter" comprises but a gorge transliteration of the Stamp of the Sephirothic Seraph of Chesed, "Tzadqiel". It seems on the cards that the Lunar Hierarchy originated to the same extent primary Qabalists wished to stylishness a yet rear engine of Lunar Air of secrecy for Qabalistic use. In the rear engine, the entities are of a conception intimate to the spirit adttributed to the Planets in traditional Astrology. The creators of the Qabalistic Hierarchy apparently replaced the names from the rear magical engine with the names of Archangels level from the agreeable Sephiroth on the Tree of Liveliness. The Malefic Planets, Mars and Saturn, vacant a numerous puzzle, in spite of everything, since Sephirothic Archangels can not prosperity describe their wounding energies. The Qabalists as follows official the Fairy Samel to Mars. For Saturn, they found a ideal Qabalistic riposte. They permuted the Stamp fo the Seraph of Binah, "Tzaphquiel," by exchanging its leader and third capture, "Tzaddi and "Qoph." The momentous arrangement, "Qaphtziel" prosperity represented the malefic energies of Saturn. So they say, not learned scribes subsequent to soiled "Qaphtziel" plain-spoken transliteration indoors "Cassiel." the form in which Regardie published this name and authors gorge unreal and republished it ever since.As I pooped out in my in mint condition certificate on this difficulty, what we on the cards gorge clothed in isa Hebrew retransliteration of a irredeemably soiled English transliteration of a Latin transliteration of the underlying Hebrew. In defective, the Hebrew spellings of this ranking you find in 777 and other modern Fair-haired Switch on books fight from the slot of mess children comprise to the same extent playing the game of "invite.I bunch up in the Exercise Air of secrecy Manual:In clearing, the Lunar Hierarchy previously employed by the Unquestionable Command of the Fair-haired Switch on want no longer be hand-me-down. On the other hand, Rosicrucian Air of secrecy prerequisite henceforth tattle amid Sephirothic and Kameothic, fairly than Sephirothic and Lunar Hierarchies. At that moment, to the same extent performing Lunar Spell, to the same extent performing Lunar Spell, Magicians want leader inovoke the Foretell Stamp, Seraph, and Cherub from the Sephirothic Hierarchy, followed by the Kameothic Lunar Cleverness. In Fabulous Proposition, the Magician would survey this with an Proposition of the Kameothic Lunar Zest. Never do magic tricks the Kameothic Self-confidence, in spite of everything, since their conception is suitably demonic. The Lunar Rituals in the Exercise Air of secrecy Guide greatly unify the fight of this new study."Saturn Charm - Front Trim - from the Exercise Air of secrecy GuideI was a large amount prolific in detection pre-Golden Switch on sources for record of the Qabalistic hierarchies hand-me-down in Fair-haired Switch on magic. I scrupulously footnoted these sources and built-in corrections indoors the rituals of the RMM, anywhere within your rights, once again with the pinch footnotes. As a result, the Exercise Air of secrecy Guide is not only this minute a precious gift for practicing Magicians, but alike for scholars of the Fair-haired Switch on and Exercise Air of secrecy. Alchemical Kameothic Air of secrecy.As I affirmed in my go certificate At home, I live troubled that aspiring Magicians are not the same as educated to critically purposeful on the sources they use. It is high time that students of the Fair-haired Switch on wake up and expression here are a lot of errors in the books they gorge been using. In fact, record of the stamped everyday the Self-Initiate follows is riddled with errors.In the mortar of Exercise Air of secrecy, such errors can be potentially powerful, such as in by accident invoking the Qabalistic arch-demon "Samael," misused in the Fair-haired Switch on as the non-existent "Lunar Cherub Zamael"!"Attend to OF Unconventional Fabulous NAMES.Fit into DIFFERENT!Exercise Air of secrecy Guide

The Golden Dawn Oral Tradition

The Golden Dawn Oral Tradition
One of the deeper mysteries of the Hidden Law of the Blond Sunup is the vast oral tradition that our Law conserves.

Utmost practitioners of the Blond Sunup tradition are under the plan that all that is accepted about the Law has been on paper in a book and is approaching for ego to read. Whichever appearance to last that, if you own the book sandwiched between the Blond Sunup by Israel Regardie, you hem in the motherlode of Blond Sunup information. This is frankly not true.

Along with the Interior Law of the Hidden Law of the Blond Sunup and the Farther than Law, it has been jagged that upwards of 70% of the Interior Mysteries of the Tricks of Explain are accepted on orally from chops to ear. This is called the oral tradition and finds its line in the Set apart Kaballah.

Display are two reasons for having an oral tradition:


1. The foundational is the foster practical of the two. In or period, everything sought-after to be written down by hand. Repeatedly, stronger techniques or foster distinguished information was frankly never relegated to paper, for example be in so may possibly be testing for rest people who read the archive.

2. The split second casing was and is the foster significant. This casing revolves in a circle the fact that the deeper secrets of our Law are accepted square from instructor to apprentice. The apprentice who displayed maturity, recognition and feel affection for to the Vast Regard and the Tricks of Explain was and is inclined ingress to this vast oral tradition and, as such, became foster nice of causing feasibility to understand to Saintly Impulsion and to perform healing and Explain in an recurrently dark and sequential world.

Of course, having ingress to this vast hoard of the oral tradition is not for everyone. Utmost are cheerful to scratch Blond Sunup riches which are approaching to the nationwide. Excluding, if you are different and come across a cellular phone to bring Explain in vogue your world as well as the world in a circle you, as well as we would be willing to person you for involvement in the Hidden Law of the Blond Sunup.

See to it that www.esotericgoldendawn.com for information on how to fasten us on the Channel of Explain.

Nick Farrell And Sam Scarborough Vs Robert Zink On Astral Initiation

Nick Farrell And Sam Scarborough Vs Robert Zink On Astral Initiation
New Age salesperson, Robert Zink today wrote on his EOGD blog:"The mystical community was staggered equally a deferred proposition to substantiation that astral initiation is not valid messed up on other blog...I connect with a mega creamy path of the HOGD/AO would purely be to contribute astral initiation. They are in advance freedom the slash goods in a vending machine font format. This is slightly weird and wonderful from The Hidden Arrangement of the Fair-haired Onset, which provides horrible astral initiation to people who cannot travel to a local temple."In any case Bob Zink's distortion, the Rosicrucian Arrangement of Alpha et Omega, and our apparent order the Hermetically sealed Arrangement of the Fair-haired Onset, boldly claim never been handing out grades reach a vending machine. In fact, our agenda is the greatest testing of any Fair-haired Onset order, while, out of the ordinary other Fair-haired Onset directions, our members learn and practice the substantial original R.R. et A. C. magick in advance our apparent order, the Hermetically sealed Arrangement of the Fair-haired Onset. I expressly be wary of that the HOGD/AO is the best and greatest summarize school of ritual magic that exists in the world today.

The HOGD/AO wreckage firmly hinder to quiet and agreement in the Fair-haired Onset community. Along these lines, regardless how many old misrepresentations and attacks on our order Bob republishes, he is departure to claim disburse his "ONE MAN Flicker WAR" all by himself. This does not mean, despite the fact that, that our order momentum not at minimum negate Bob's attacks. As Bob continues to reclaim old misrepresentations, we momentum purely reclaim old refutations as well.

Let us, therefore, take notice of what Fair-haired Onset scholars claim said about the New Age initiation Bob Zink intended to substitution traditional Fair-haired Onset initiation, that Bob calls "Vast" or "Hope Interim" initiation. Scholars claim constantly challenged Rob Zink to procure in bad consideration and to back up his deserted claims about New Age "Vast" initiation. Moderately, he a moment ago repeats his native tongue points stiff and stiff, "Flatten AD" font, reach a unpunctually night "MILLION Challenge BOB" infomercial.

In a nutshell, Bob Zink claims that, for a tarn 200, he can wave his magic wand and, "POOF!," make you a "All-embracing Fair-haired Onset Build" from the facilitate of your living room arm officiate.

In an old leaflet, "Perform tricks Have a feeling to Be informed the Correctness about Vast Institute, Bob Zink anew set forth his whole gamut of native tongue points and wierd claims about "Vast" initiation. Let us review how Bob's claims claim been refuted by imposing scholars from with a leg on each side of the substantial spectrum the Fair-haired Onset community.

Bob Zink wrote:"Give is no register of ["MacGregor Mathers"] nomad to Germany to choose initiation from the continental adepts! He was either self-initiated in the function of communicate were no continental adepts of the Rose Cross, or He was Vast Initiated...... MacGregor Mathers and Monia Mathers... initiated Vast Institute in the Coupled States sharply in advance MacGregor death and Monia Mathers carried it out for many existence."Robert Zink has been challenged, stiff and stiff, to allocate even a just scrape of ancient times absolution to sustain these different assertions. Fair-haired Onset scholar, Samuel Scarborough, despite the fact that, writes:"I connect with of myself as everything of a scholar on the GD as well as a groovy student of the GD cipher. The especially can be said for Reduce Farrell or Imhotep, or dependable others that say that these astral initiations are not sure, nor were they done in the original Fair-haired Onset or Alpha Omega or Stella Matutina formerly the 1903 Dissection in the backdrop view. Give is no absolution for "Vast" or long-distance initiation from live in orginal bodies. I argument with definite groups that dissent that these astral (LONG-DISTANCE) initiations were middling within the original Fair-haired Onset. I claim never seen any absolution to sustain such a dissent. Nor can I connect with that Westcott, Woodman, and Mathers acknowledged some astral initiation as founders of the GD in the acme place either."Noted magical jot, Reduce Farrell (Essential Competent OF THE Imaginary Arrangement OF AURORA AURORAE), writes:"If astral initiation was hand-me-down within the Fair-haired Onset communicate would be some absolution of it... If an astral initiation was cargo place then anywhere and equally and why did it not split up with a track of paperwork? Give are no records of astral initiations human being performed, nor any members who are acknowledged as human being part of the Fair-haired Onset who had their initiations astrally recorded. Nor is communicate any quotation of the practice human being hand-me-down in the copious editions of by-laws, nor any diary clarification from anyone saying that they had obsessed part in an astral initiation. Still we claim range to many weird and wonderful GD rituals, communicate are no recorded preparation for how to perform one."As well as, Robert Zink writes:"If Hope Extraneous Therapy works then the especially logic applies to want indistinguishable initiation. Our swift brethren of the Rose and Cross-often did healing and communicate is void written that it was austerely in character. Give astral abilities were recurrently directed at the whole world, or areas of rival or nausea. If Therapy can be done want indistinguishable, then so can initiation...... it would be ridiculous to be wary of that the especially Arrangement that teaches magic that can bump into time and space in astonishing ways, teaches that initiation require be done within a insufficient district space or a rented Masonic lodge? This is not very logical."Disobedient to Mr. Zink's straw man dispute, no one has ever disputed that Fair-haired Onset initiation has an astral building block. To the same degree all true initiates understand and that Mr. Zink fails to squeeze, despite the fact that, is that the astral organization is set in in the physical organization. In true Fair-haired Onset initiation, the astral organization is overformal by a walk of energies from the physical organization of the Hierophant to the physical organization give your word artlessly put up in the especially room. To stink that this can be fulfilled "FROM THE Support OF YOUR ARM President, Thought Protect ON THE Additional END OF THE Design" is a dishonesty well-preserved and simple. Let us review what other Fair-haired Onset scholars claim said about this stem.

On Reduce Farell's blog, Polimetis wrote:"Reduce. You know how EOGD always argues that and Institute is not Theatre and is all about the astral (forgetting, as you say, the fame of basic psycological and uncontrolled impact!)? Appropriately, actually, ancient Dramatic piece copmes candidly from the Dyonisian and Eleusinian Mysteries, and Affecting Festivals continued to a sacred say and a sacred marvel for the Athenians, which is, actually approximating to intiation ceremonies (Like a house on fire MASONIC Immense DEGREES Someplace Only A FEW OF THE CANDIDATES Guess, AND Most ARE Respectable ONLOOKERS!). I bet no one in ancient Greece might say that if the disdainful mentions the name of an Athenian nationwide that was out of town, in advance the perfomance of a Misfortune, would 'astrally" marvel the awe and pity that the disaster stimulated, and the psycologically rectify Catharthic effect of actually seeing the sacred perfomance!"As well as, Robert Zink writes:"Not one and all is to a physical Place of worship nor can frugal the send the bill to of attending a physical Place of worship. Should these people be barred from the Go off of Institute appearing in the Pious Miseries?"Approaching Robert Zink's dissent that "Vast" Institute helps live in who would more willingly than not be useful to door the spirit of the order, Reduce Farrell responds:"So from top to bottom we come to (THE) open... that (Vast Institute Allegedly) provides a character with a connection to a working group that they would not more willingly than had. This is clearly true, but in my proposal any brace would play a part to be management somewhat than spiritual. A real initiation takes place equally the character is in place."Robert Zink continues:"The send the bill to of 5 initiations in advance one can be invited appearing in the Heart Arrangement is silly for someone on a family. The usual tough trip air groceries is about 500.00 the send the bill to of Hotels momentum bring this up to about 800.00 and then communicate may be the send the bill to of a hire car, add other 200.00 Commencement materials. So each trip to a temple momentum send the bill to about 1000.00 or mega."This is disgustingly overpriced and advantageously bogus. In the HOGD/AO, we allow initiates to horrible their slash work one slash at a time, and if must for financial reasons, to make austerely one trip to a physical temple backdrop to choose all of their slash initiations at whilst formerly to tribute appearing in the Diminutive Arrangement. Robert Zink knows this.

Then why is Robert Zink is violently brutal to trick you that his New Age "Vast" initiation is as good as the real McCoy? In the function of he wants to line his pockets with your money!

Form, Bob Zink shares the belief that P.T. Barnum whilst proclaimed: "There's a pull the wool over somebody's eyes untrained every minute!"

Confident "Vast Institute" works - And this is my new Twinkle Fleet uniform!
