PART II
This article aims to support both the magician on his earlier steps and the experienced magician, using the symbols of the moon and the sun individually and interposed in equilibrium, some analogies and practical applications being given.
The Moon and Sun within for those who have Completed Initation Into Hermetics.
We shall proceed to give some more practical advice, now mostly to the advanced magician.
And for that we may as well start from what was given above when we exposed the divine marriage between the sun and the moon in three distinct levels.
1 – Desire and Intention
To have desire and intention merge Bardon has given us tools as the soul mirror and auto-suggestion techniques, with the magician taking away the concepts of time and space so that the conscious takes the place of the subconscious and becomes one with its powers and structures. The advanced magician can densify this power through sexual magic, having his body, filled with intention, become omnipresent as well, and turning passion to his favor. For it to work properly, the magician has to bring himself to the edge of orgasm as many times as necessary in order for the actual orgasm to be just the consummation of a continuous sensorial orgasm connected with the principles of the eucharist.
2 – Uniting individual and cosmic will -working under magical equilibrium
To have the individual will and the cosmic will become part of a single perceived structure, the magician can start by glimpsing at the nature of each by imagining the universe to be a limitless sea of white light filled up by endless creativity -he may use the yod hebraic letter as a sigil – so that at the end of his work with sex magic he dissolves himself in this sea and attains a vision of its intelligence – Divine Providence.
Alternatively, he may do the other way around, imagining a silver light instead and that his body is void and absorbing the light until the light falls back into itself inside him, becoming a portal for the vision of one’s deepest dreams, unveiling the magician’s true mission and source of inspiration in life. Independently of the magician having such maturity as to bring these methods into proper utilization, he can still apply the part of the technique of self knowledge that I have given at The Way of Abrahadabra, it can be adapted and it can be made to work together with the disciplines of the soul mirror.
The magician is to find a name that is suitable to him as a worker of the Great Work.
The original name should have a quintessence, translating both into a mantra and into a threefold intonation.
We give the example of a magical name, Panreva. It’s number is 887, and it may be read as “Psyche and Cupid” on the mental plane, “Mind Body Spirit” on the astral plane, and “Divine Circle” at the physical. It’s keyword is “The Abyss is Locked” and it’s mantra “Here divinity sees energy, breathes in and binds the magician”. So, at it’s original concept it stands for the overcoming of all steps between the union of life and desire. This is also present at the union of Eve and Pan under the Sun, Eve is the matrix for sublunar life and Pan it’s living expression, the instincts inherent to desire, while R stands for Resh, the radiation of the sun, that is, of consciousness. On an emotional level that concept turns into a feeling of oneness between thought, instinct and enthusiasm. On a physical level it translates as Divine Circle because once the union of these aspects is achieved the magician moves about the universe as a star in its proper rout, and because of it the abyss is locked, no manifestation can counter love connected to willpower for every event comes to feed the purpose of their marriage, which on and by itself may already describe the meaning of the mantra. The number for these expressions is 887, but the reader is not obliged to gematria.
After the study and definition of one’s own name is accomplished, the magician is to find a duty connected to it. He should find a verb to which all other verbs should connect easily, for the more isolated his verb stands the harder it will make the magician’s job. Nonetheless, he should not choose an helping verb like the verb to be, to do or to have. He should also find an adjective to describe how he will be doing the verb chosen. For instance: «To dream out loud», the magician’s duty, or his word as a Magus, would then be to dream out loud. Every other verb can be preceded by this verb. i.e. «To dream out loud of flying». Some words may be ambiguous, so the magician is to describe what he means by dreaming, making use of three other expressions. What is it that he personally means by dreaming: on a rational basis, on an emotional basis, and as a practical activity? He should apply this method also on the adjective, and he is to form three sentences, as a manifest, based on his results.
To the original sentence he should add his objective.
To dream out loud in order to inspire those around me.
The objective is going to define the balance of his duty, and that balance should be defined by the four elements. Inspiration needs determination on the fire element, freedom on the element of air, a celebratory spirit on the water element and thoroughness on the element of earth. Whatever is the objective of the magician he is to find the proper elemental associations and practice their balance.
The magician is still to nominate by which means he is to do his duty and enumerate them on a document. He will be able to change that document to accommodate the needs of his evolutionary work concerning his duty.
Each of these enumerated paragraphs should also have a temporal paper assigning the initiatives the magician is to take forward in order to serve their purpose and the course of the magician’s actions towards his duty during a one year period.
A book is to be made with these materials and sealed with the magician’s own sigil, which is to be received while the magician is meditating on his magical name. Further validation is needed, and the sigil is to be recognized by the magician’s guide before the duty is consecrated.
The original sentence of the duty is to be inscribed on a belt which the magician should use during magical operations, and the sigil is to be inscribed at it’s lock. At his belt the magician is also to rest his wand. The belt signifies the region between micro and macrocosmos, above and below.
The wand is also to subject itself to renewed efforts from the magician, which is to choose a star from all the stars as his own and give it his magical name, to receive the star’s original name in return. This means that from the first hour of the night to it’s last the magician is to hold the wand in his hands and fix the star with his eyes. He should have his magical name in his mind, but, simultaneously, the mind must become the very empty space in which the star shines, and his consciousness becomes the star itself, and the star thinks of the magician’s magical name or radiates over it. At the end of each hour the magician is to envision a glyph coming from the star and to inscribe it on the wand. Body postures should be associated with each glyph, and meditations should be assigned to the postures.
3 – Finally, the nature of knowing and becoming the “I Am that I Am.”
It is developed by exercising truth as an active power and honesty as a passive virtue. It is the ultimate goal and may as well do the work of all the previous methods. Additionally, it can be empowered by practicing the vedic neti-neti. It resembles the vacancy of mind as taught by Franz Bardon but uses identification, in its negative aspect, the not-I, as a technique. For instance, one states I am not this, not that, neither this, nor that, nominating all kinds of things that come to mind, but why not start by everything that is attributed to the elements on one’s soul mirror? The Egyptian word neti means “being”, “existence” and “negative”, but the application being neti-neti, it is applied to itself.
Of this, in her title, The Way of Mystery – Magick, Mysticism and Self-Transcendence, Nema wrote:
In the classic Eastern self-hunt of neti-neti, you begin by discarding from your consideration any component that is obviously not yourself. Is your body yourself? When you consider the phenomena of blood transfusions and organ transplants, the answer seems to be “no.” The sense of self seems to be singular, losing nothing with blood and kidney donations, and gaining nothing with heart or liver transplants. If not the whole body, then what of the brain? I seem to live two inches behind my eyes and three inches or so from the top of my skull, but I don’t seem to be attached to a structure. I seem to be the movement and patterns of the electric flashes among the cells, rather than the cells themselves.
Are your memories, your quirks, and your characteristics yourself? Not likely, since you can say they are your possessions. The same applies to your actions, moods, instincts, tendencies, thoughts, relationships, conditions, habits, and experiences. All these things pertain to you, are possessed by you, even describe you, but, since you possess them, are not you. What a delightful, maddening mystery! When all your possessions and characteristics are discarded, the center of their constellation appears to be empty. If so, what is it that experiences, decides, quests, and questions? Who speaks and who listens to the inner counsel that advises about the best course of action, or nonaction? What suggests and what recognizes that there may, indeed, be entities who are more intelligent and more advanced than we are? What posits a “higher power” and names it “God”? Can the searching eye see itself?
Approaching the mystery of self-hood has two phases: the active discarding of all possessions—material, non-material, and abstract— and the still, silent awareness of the nothing or something that remains. When you’ve reached the state of silent awareness, there’s nothing to do except wait without striving. Since each individual experiences inner truths in unique ways, I can’t predict what will come to you in that silence, or whether you’ll recognize it for what it is. In my own experiences with visionary trance (or entranced vision), the fact shown, spoken, or otherwise inserted in my awareness was stunning. At the instant of comprehension I was unable to move, frozen in place, and often breathless. The ability to move physically returned before the ability to think or respond emotionally. In some fashion, the visionary trance bypassed any instinctual reactions of fear or flight and overwhelmed me with the power and clarity of its content. The first feeling that returns, for me, is a sense of limitless exaltation, a destruction and subtler rebirth of the seeker and seer, followed by an awe and wonder that I can feel sinking in and spreading through all the layers of my being.
Rapture is a sense of being seized and swiftly carried upward, like a fish or a rabbit in the talons of an eagle or a hawk. Solid footing is gone, and struggle might result in a fatal plunge. There is often a sensation of being surrounded by and merged with light. In my own experience I’ve encountered a warm golden haze, a brightness of pure light, a silver-blue radiance as well as occasions of vivid, living darkness, a light beyond sight. In each case, the radiance is inhabited by an intelligence that stays at the edge of awareness, scarcely glanced, almost seen, haunting, familiar, and strange. The light and darkness pierce and penetrate every part of you, charging your vibratory rates with new energy while bearing its information into you.
I’ve never encountered a more immediate, intimate, intense, and all-inclusive experience than the realization of a hidden/obvious truth. Presentations to your inner senses are more convincing than the physical world around you; most of us believe that there’s a small chance of our physical senses malfunctioning, while we assume that our non-material perceptions are infallible.
Rapture invites total surrender. This is its function. By overwhelming instinct and experience, rapture peels you open to expose levels of yourself that conscious mind is barely aware of, if at all. It shows you a “you” that is tender, virginal, and impressionable. In surrender lies ecstasy. With surrender, you dissolve into the light and scatter on tides of bliss. No physical pleasure can even approximate that of realization’s ecstasy. Ecstasy can produce “miracles,” often outside the awareness of the ecstatic, yet witnessed by observers. The reported effects include instant cures, stigmata, levitation, bi-location, and the appearance of solid objects out of thin air. Suffusion with the visionary light sometimes produces glowing countenances and bodies, and the image of a halo is an artistic convention that echoes the strength of an ecstatic visible aura. Ecstasy can also produce a perfume known as “the odor of sanctity.” Many saints in the canon of the Roman Catholic Church are ecstatics, safely dead.
Now, at the physical level the magician is acting in accordance with divine providence, at an emotional level his desire and his intention are no longer discordant, and at a mental level he is neti neti, empty and fully present, and the moon and the sun lived happily ever after.
The Moon and Sun Within for those Training PME and KTQ
Finally, for the magician experienced with both the PME and the KTQ, I will leave some information possibly useful concerning the Sun and the Moon, belonging, once more, to my latest book, The Way of Abrahadabra.
Because the element of plasma, as presented in this book, will be mentioned, we start by almost explaining it. First, the elements must be concentrated and transmuted into one another by willpower and making use of the keys I am about to explain, only to later be reconstructed as the plasma on the Akasha.
The magician will come to the conclusion that he has mastered his ascension through the elements when from earth he is able to build water, when from water he is able to get into the air, when from the air element he is able to ignite a fire. On the physical this might seem simple, water is easily made out of salt, and this water can easily be made into a vapor. With a little electricity, it is easy to make fire out of gas. But philosophically other questions are raised that must be answered gradually by the elementals themselves with all their hierarchies. When dealing with the fire the magician’s final quest is to, by way of fire, find the means to proceed into the spiritual realm, that zone outside the circles of time, the triangles of space and the squares of matter, everywhere infinite and every time eternal, to which we will be giving the name of Akasha and the shape of a black egg. Here, just as a man has on earth legs, arms, trunk and head, every being is omnipotent, omnipresent, immortal and omniscient.
Beings from this non-zone can also be materialized on the triangle if the magician is able to distill, separate and extract the magnetic components of earth and water, and the electric components of air and fire, having them united on a single composite and charging himself and the room with that component….
…We will proceed to leave some hints from the beings we have mentioned that will help the magician get started on his initiatic ascension through the elements:
Ponual points out that it is a virtue of earth to be one with itself. In this way, it’s silence is the incarnation of truth. To separate earth from itself is to lie and to sin against truth, but from every new lie comes a new truth and from every new sin an ancient virtue. The earth is to be divided or corrupted and made to fear itself, for from it the earth will seek a deeper peace in surrender and it will become as water. The formula here is that of 4=2, meaning daleth = beth, or that the door and the house are rendered two and the same. It is also the formula for completion in harmony with division.
Wualwin points out that while generally the beings of one element can not easily contact the beings from another element, light is in reach of each elemental no matter what his element may be and it is part of the elemental feeding or breathing system. He points out that water, dark and receptive, is able to reflect light especially well and it can also receive it. Just as by repeatedly hitting a rock, water can turn it into sand, so can the constant use of magical light remove any sense of weight from the water. At this point a first bridge is built between water and air. The formula here is of 2=3, meaning that electromagnetism is equal in all three planes of matter, energy and thought, and it consequently means beth = guimel, or that the house becomes as a means of transportation.
Rasura refers that wind can be turned into fire by blowing it against itself, creating some sort of weight by pressure and then magnetizing the pressure. The magnetizing power of the air comes from the high regions of the sky where humidity generates. Then the magician is yet to ignite it with the hot winds that are generated through the friction of matter, such as the gulfs that come from volcanoes or the sparks that jump when rock hits rock. In the strange ways of the elementals this can be translated as absolute freedom meeting the most exuberant lust. The abyss between air and fire is vaster than between earth and water or between water and air, and vaster will be the distance between the fire and the spirit. The formula presented by Rasura can be translated as 5=6, the equilibrium between movement and light, also meaning hooked wind.
Gorgonon’s words are somehow enigmatic. He tells us that to get from fire to spirit one needs to burn his soul, for the soul, being invisible, its ash is visible. One is to leave the mind and the body unmolested and to burn one’s astral body, gathering the ash and making a fetish. That fetish is as a ziggurat that will allow consciousness to rise unto the cosmos and to the realms of spirit. One has but to transfer his consciousness to it and meditate, reaching out to the spirit who will then rebuild the soul. One may not forget that the elementals talk to us as if we are one of them, and some of the teachings can only make complete sense in their realm. An elemental has to sacrifice his soul to get to akasha and to be able to reach all the elements, becoming a human, for where we have an astral body the elementals have only a condensation of the astral element to which they are confined. Whatever the case is, the human magician, being in possession of all the elements on the pentagram, is still able to use Gorgonon’s advice. To the human the ash of a salamander’s soul can be physically found as that lichen that grows on the oak after it has been struck by lightning and has continued to thrive, and that was once so sacred to the druids. But applied directly to a human soul, the initiation described by Gorgonon corresponds to the crossing of the abyss or to the so called night of the soul…….but it’s formula is that of 2=9, where duality first becomes a matrix for the multiplicity of forms. The individuality of the magician is ever consumed by his will and the macrocosmos abides, for he is living in the way of the serpent and her belly is his house.
I interrupt the quotation to leave a note. Fear not, bold reader, for Gorgonon’s advice can be understood through the Phoenix and the Oroboros. At the earth element we apply fragmentation by willpower, at the water element we apply the principle of light, the wind consumes itself into fire and the fire consumes itself until only the emptiness of akasha remains. I resume the citation with a description of a being from the akasha:
Fauldan appears robed in dark blue and with his back turned to the magician, his head being covered by his hood. He is a great master of demonology and can bind any demon to his will. Inside his robes he is an androgynous hermaphrodite and his eyes, when shown, can transport the magician directly to heaven or crush down the profane. He brings psychokinesis to the mind, the silence of death to the soul and fear or bliss to the body………his hint for the reader about discovering the plasma invites him to do some research on the substance of tears. The mucous layer keeps the tear attached to its source, the watery layer hydrates the eye and protects it, the oily layer preserves the other layers and prevents them from evaporating all the while smoothing the tear’s substance so that the eye can see through it. The element of earth is to become as the mucous layer, the element of water remains, the element of air is to become as the oily layer and the element of fire as the iris. Akasha is the mass of the eye in this formula.
On another note we add now some additional information that the reader of this article, the Bardonist, may understand. Consciousness attaches to the source, the Akasha, and is allowed to breathe and subside outside time and space through boundless love. An all-knowing wisdom smooths love and keeps it clear and intact, so that directed clairvoyance may remain unobstructed. The plasma having been introduced, we now may follow to the Sun and the Moon without further delays.
The Sun – mirror, triangle, charging the room, charging oneself, example of a being:
As a warming up exercise the magician should practice transferring his consciousness to the spider, to the pelican and to the lion….an oval mirror of a frame of gold with silver paper installed behind transparent glass. The glass should be anointed by the following infusion:
- 2 teaspoons of chamomile buds
- 1 teaspoon of lavender buds
- 1 teaspoon of valerian root
- a pinch of cinnamon
- Add seminal fluid, then
- 2 teaspoons of mugwort
- a dash of honey
- 10 minutes boiling
At this time the magician is to charge his mirror with the element of Light, whose threefold meaning is Time, Force, and Samekh, Samekh being the ever ascending spiral of divine glory.
On top of the element of light he should impose the blackness of akasha and the vibration of gold as a metal, the resulting substance going into the mirror but this time also into himself….
As a preparation, he could, even, transfer his consciousness to the center of his body, between the chest and the abdomen, and concentrate on that dot until it becomes smaller and smaller and the body itself infinitely large, eventually creating an infinite without and an infinite within. Inside it, only love can move the magician, and it should direct him to the sun on the macrocosm interposed with the mirror on the microcosmos.
Fluid condensers to help charging the triangle where the mirror stands are:
A bowl of black oil containing algae, magnetites, quartz, uraninites and a monazite. The black oil should be sprinkled with water from a mineral spring and some sea water….There are many other materials more or less capable of giving some scarce sort of familiarity to the beings from the sunsphere, but they are largely radioactive and dangerous to work with.
The incense to burn should be prepared out of an oak tree.
The symbol for the sphere of the sun is a circle with a dot at the middle and it should be represented on the magical circle also. The fluid of the sun was described already. It should be hot, incorruptible and aware, and of a golden color so intense that it becomes white at the center.
The magician should add to the charging of the place and of himself the sovereign name at the archetypal world of the sunsphere:
YHVH Eloah Ve-Daath, meaning “manifestation of the divine in knowledge and balance.”In a threefold sense it means “Has revealed God’s Will” on the mental plane, “Love is universal”on the astral plane and “I am ready to fulfill my destiny” on the physical plane.
Raphael, meaning “the healing of God”. In a threefold sense it is formulated as “At peace” on the mental, “Golden chalice” on the astral, and “Angelic healing” on the physical.
At Yetzirah, or in the formative world, the name is Malachim and means Kings, this is the order of angels that the magician will be contacting. In a threefold sense, the word should be magically pronounced as “I am a God” on thought, “Be one” on feeling, and “Icon” on the five senses.
At Assiah or the material plane, he is to evoke the sun as the actual star it is, he has learned right at the fourth step how to transfer his consciousness directly to the sun and how to feel it’s vibration, but it’s threefold intonation is “The Logos” on the mental, “I am Christ” on the astral, and “saints” on the physical or etheric world. The Logos is the very soul of reason, Christ in the neoplatonic sense is the ascension of the senses through the heart, saints are those who burn in the holy fire by having transmuted their senses through the heart, therefore ascending to the Logos.
These should be added to the charging of one’s self and of the place. The magician may repeat the words until saturation is achieved in the air and there is a feeling of omnipresence on the body.
Electromagnetism, instead of the elements, should come into play. All air and warmness in the room or at least inside the triangle should become so dry that it stinks of electricity, and all the solid bodies and all humidity should be so magnetized that there is no perceived difference between them and magnetism itself.
We still have to indicate that the triangle should catch the light of the sun and the remaining room should be in the shadow.
The black and white candle, the hat, and everything else that has not found a proper substitute in here, is to be kept,»…«Finally, the elements are to be replaced. An additional note should be given that may come up as a revelation to the magician, for it is hardly mentioned on any other system of magic, and if the magician wants to have any luck contacting these intelligence’s without it ending up in yet one more allegory of the cave, he is to consider the scale. The sun is made up of gas, heat, light and plasma. This means its most solid element is gas, which, in turn, means the element earth to the sun, such as the Greeks considered it, is air; The element water, to the Sun, is fire; The element air, to the Sun, is the light, and the element fire is the plasma. Therefore, to work with the sunsphere, the magician would fair better rebuilding his training anew while having this into consideration, and changing the scale accordingly. For instance, if the magician wants to stand as something scarcely similar to a sun being before having him on the triangle he should charge his limbs with the air element, his belly with the element of fire, his chest with light and his head with plasma. The concept of the elementals should also be taken into account in the scale of the sun, because even the gas elementals at the sunsphere are very different from our air elementals, and the sun’s heat elementals know realities that are fairly far from the ones known by our fire elementals.
Again, I will interrupt to lend further insight into this subject of altering the scale of the elements. It is true that the magicians’ devices of perception may envision the being of the sphere of the sun under different forms according to his own reading of the world. But, at its natural state, the closer such a being has to a conscience of a body is the ideas, and he resembles a sun himself, with his emotions being made of a great concentration of willpower and his limbs its materialization under the form of original ideas, like sunbeams. These ideas, irradiated by willpower, in turn, originate from a place of absolute victory, a place of the light of all lights, which is as close as the sun-being has to an intellect as we know it.
Another aspect may have not escaped unnoticed to the learned hermeticist. While I have mentioned elementals from the physical sun, one of the opinions there is about the planetary spheres is that they are not connected with the physical planets at all, but different layers of, say, the akasha or, on a gross metaphor, the upper floors of the zone girdling the earth. While with the advance of science the platonic or neoplatonic philosopher and magician had to distance himself from science in order to keep his means of validation inside his own philosophical system, what happened by then is that the science of the scholars was advanced but not so advanced as to bring insight into the matter at hand. In fact, science, today, is perfectly aware of the magnetosphere. We have to make some things clear, in light of scientific magic. One of them is that which we may call spheres in relation with the planets. First we have to understand that electricity is the force that any two things exert over one another. Magnetism is the force weaved by the movement of these two things in relation to one another. Electromagnetism is a conjunction of both. Now the magnetic poles of a planet move every year, the inner core spins faster than the outer core and there are field reversals, which have some connection with the Aeons or spiritual ages. These movements form an enormous magnetic field that extends into space, called the magnetosphere, whose dynamics come up with the rays and the planes. This is the magnetic reach of a celestial body. The solar wind or cosmic fire compresses the magnetosphere on one side and stretches it on the other. In earth’s case it extends about ten times the radii of the earth towards the sun and a thousand away from it. This means that it is somehow possible for the spirit of earthly conscious beings to truly understand the eye of the sun, and possible for the mind to be impregnated by that very eye of the sun. Although the soul can mimic this force through the science of analogy, it is more or less out of reach. The spirit can actively understand the void, and mind, soul and body can be touched by it if the mind is empty, the soul quiet and the body still. The whole of the Earth’s magnetosphere is touched by the density, speed and temperature of the solar winds. The earth sphere, which is the earth, inner and outer crust, and also its magnetosphere, receives the sun through its etheric body, mental body and astral body, and then envelopes the sun with her own magnetic fluctuations. As these fluctuations manifest inside the Earth’s magnetosphere they make the space weather. Just as the weather inside the atmosphere has generated life on our planet, the space weather generates the life of the entities used at evocational magic, and yet this as a spatial and temporal reflection of a timeless and spaceless dimension.
This process is happening at almost every celestial body. The magnetosphere of the sun exists. And the magnetosphere of the galaxy exists, so that the spheres often contain and intercept each other, and from magnetosphere into magnetosphere the wild and perfectly trained magician might travel. The immediate order by which these fields meet scientifically, is the same as composed by Bardon concerning magic and mysticism.
I shall now resume quoting from The Way of Abrahadabra:
Elementals apart, we should proceed to give an example of a cosmic being from the sphere of the Sun:
Omnar-in appears like an endless surface of nuclear fusion, with five concentric dots functioning as lungs: an horizontal line of three dots preceded by a vertical line of two. From one of the horizontal dots came, for instance, the design of the trees here on earth. From another, the breathing process of mammals. From the third horizontal dot came the intelligence of men. From one of the vertical dots came the writing of angels, and from the other the original idea of the process of sight as it is possible with our known scientific dimensions. The being itself is very hard to describe and he turns the mind directly into its vibratory state. The astral body is expanded immediately when it gets in contact with Omnar-In, it expands so much that it becomes the starry space itself with a concentric bolt of energy where a higher awareness on the magician is installed. At the physical level Omnar-In places angels at the service of the magician, capable of carrying out many tasks and performing miracles.
His sigil is a shadowy blood red circle with an empty spot inside the circumference at the northeast. Inside it there are two stars of eight rays, one on the top left and one on the top right, having under them the head of a lion with the tongue of a serpent leaning upwards. This head finds as a body the trunk of a scorpion of six vertebrae, no legs, no claws and a glowing sphere of blood instead of a tail.
The Moon – mirror, triangle, charging the room, charging oneself, example of a being:
As a warming up exercise he should now practice transferring his consciousness to the turtle and to the elephant……..On the other hand the penis could be warmed by fiery oils and the testicles refreshed by a cooling oil, or the woman should refresh around the womb and warm her sex up by the use of different oils, as long as they are safe.
There is another mirror for the moonsphere, it’s frame being silver made, with golden paper installed behind the glass, which should be anointed by the same infusion as with the golden framed mirror except for the bodily fluid. For the Moon that fluid should be pre-ejaculative to men and of menstrual nature to women.
The magician is to charge the mirror in the same way, with the element of Light. But this time, on top of it, he should impose upon the blackness of akasha the vibration of a different metal, silver, and again send the resulting substance into the mirror, also absorbing it himself……
…Inside an iron cauldron covered with aluminium paper there should be congealed water containing volcanic rocks and crystals inside. The ice is to be sprinkled with liquid magnesium. The incense to burn should be jasmine and orchid root.
The scale of the four elements on the Moon changes in that the element earth’s grossest form is glass or crystal, which is it’s finest form on our planet. It’s feeling is no longer dark but luminous with transparency, it is not introspective but it catches the life of everything around it and gives it back, and it is no longer heavy, only solid. Also, the element of water at the Moon is as that of fire on planet earth but congealed. It is stagnant, introverted and cold. The element of air in the Moonsphere is non-existent, replaced by the process of Comminution, which is the breaking of every particle into smaller particles. It is still expanding, extroverted and light, but instead of working as a mediator as our air element works here on earth, it’s aggressive component forces all dense matter to become lighter and lighter. The fire element at the moonsphere is the solar wind and therefore, again, the Plasma.
The symbol for the sphere of the moon is a silver circumference and it should be represented on the circle as well as on the triangle. Let the magician not forget to practice tracing these symbols on a three dimensional visual, imagining also the temperature emitted, the smell, the taste in the air it leaves, and the sound of its vibration. The silver circumference should be drawn with the moon’s astral fluid. The moon’s astral fluid is silver in color, cool, sensual and dreamy in substance.
The magician is to add to the charging of the place the recipe contained on the sovereign name at the archetypal world of the moonsphere:
Shaddai El Chai means “Almighty God of Life”. In a threefold sense it stands for “O Gate” on the mental plane, “The O” on the astral plane and “King of All” on the physical plane. O is the circle, the magnetic field on which things occur and come to be.
It’s archangel, which is also as it’s divine name at Briah – or creative world, should also come to mind:
Gabriel means “Divinity is my strength”. In a threefold sense it is fomulated as “Faith” on the mental, “Dharma” on the astral and “An Idol” on the physical or etheric planes. Dharma is that which sustains: following life’s purpose.
At Yetzirah, or in the formative world, the name is “Kerubim” and means “The Mighty Ones”, this is the order of angels that the magician will be contacting. In a threefold sense, the word should be magically pronounced as “Realm of light” on thought, “Goodness” on feeling, and “Pneuma” on the five senses. Pneuma is the prana or the Great Agent, the living astral light.
At Assiah or the material plane, he is to evoke the moon as an actual body in the sky, he has already learned at the Grade of the Hexagram how to transfer his consciousness directly to the moon and how to feel it’s vibration, but it’s threefold intonation is “Semen” on the mental, “Lamb of God” at the astral, and “Hand of God” on the physical or etheric world.
These should be added to the charging of one’s self and of the holy place. He may repeat the words until saturation is achieved in the air and there is a feeling of omnipresence on the body, similar to that of an orgasm.
Electromagnetism, instead of the elements, should come into play….Once this is done, this electricity and this magnetism can be refilled by the elements at the scale of the moon.
At this occasion the triangle should catch the light of the moon and the remaining room should be in the shadow except for the candles.
Example of a cosmic being from the sphere of the Moon:
Uhliven appears first as a floating indigo banner with a sign of a silver panther drawn into it. If the magician stares long enough it changes its shape into something similar to a one eyed badger but crowned with a solid-steel silver spider. The spider seems frozen but it lives and its legs are inserted on the badger’s brain. If the magician keeps focusing on this figure it finally changes into a mouth of many suckers, it’s tongue being as a silver disk with a smaller white disc inside, this smaller white disc is Uhliven’s essence. Her presence in this final shape is very stunning and the magician may feel dizziness. She is responsible for the human notion of the void, she brings numbness to the mind, allowing it to freshen up, offering good sleep and aiding in techniques of meditation. She allows the soul to dream and the emotions to find their own places without the interference of the mind, in this way becoming a therapeutic facilitator. On the physical, she is able to silence one’s enemies.
Her sigil is of two silver dots at the top right plus two at the top left, a silver dot in the middle and two horizontal lines of three silver dots below.
Her keyword is “Womb” and her mantra “I hold the Life of God and my actions give breath to His children.”
Signs that the magician is mastering his ascension through the moonsphere are given when, among other prodigies, he is able to find that ancient alphabet available only through rhythm and not through words and is capable of animating all things with it and to influence life’s events. Light will appear to him as a dimension of space itself and an unfoldment of time. And he will learn to materialize the invisible through silence.
The elementals of our own sphere will always rush to protect and serve the magician that has become respected on the moonsphere.
The deeper the magician explores into this sphere the better he will understand the lore hidden in silence itself. When silence itself renders him unable to advance any further on that context, he is to command his psychic abilities further.
In the hope of having been useful in any way possible, I leave you to progress. May success bless you.
