orate research, yielded no meaning soever. at last i chanced on upsilon-pi-omicron-mu-omicron-nu-eta as 718; it means "persistence, the greek noun corresponding to "perdurabo, my first magical motto. of course the stele had persisted since the 26th dynasty, but that scarecely justified naming it "persistence; also, there was nothing about "the fall of because. now (an xvii, sol in gemini, moon in cancer) i was going through the law in order to repair any details of omission in the rituals ordained, and found these verses introduced among the instructions. they fascinated me; when i had finished the work in hand, i returned to them and worked for some hours with a lexicon, starting from the word apxh, cause, 709, to find some phrase equal to 718 which would deny cause. i found aza, 9, a wor

the curse and protect his wife and his covens prevented the rise of panic among his followers. eventually the curse was banished and no one ever doubted alex's mastery of witchcraft again. it was plain that he was innocent ofrevealing the innermost secretsof the brotherhood and had no intention of following huysmans. the witches of his covens.realized that their leader was not going to succumb to cancer. in the end alex was persuaded to be their king. he put on the new robes. in a ceremony made up partly of rites for the crowning of egyptian pharaohs, partly of witch rituals; the elders placed a crown ofcopper, brass with a little silver, and blue velvet upon his head. they anointed his bare feet with oil and sat him on the throne before the altar as representative of their homed god. afte

e standpoint of the pledged disciple and initiate who traverses again the path of the sun and finds that that which he has discovered himself to be in leo finds its crown in aquarius. the separative individual consciousness becomes the group consciousness in aquarius, and he begins to comprehend the significance of that basic combination of signs, that "triangle in the consciousness" of humanity: cancer leo aquarius. mass awareness individual awareness group awareness. instinctual consciousness intelligent consciousness intuitive consciousness. then, from the standpoint of achievement in capricorn, he works for several lives around the zodiacal path, descending into the sea of the mass consciousness to become what is called in the ancient books "the crab, who clears the ocean of matter whi

m here simply laying down the structure of fact upon which we can later base our conclusions. we shall, in this connection, only consider the average man. the problems of the disciple will be dealt with under part i.4. i pointed out earlier that the three major groups of diseases for the masses are 1. tuberculosis. 2. the social diseases, as they are called: the venereal diseases and syphilis. 3. cancer. to these we must add two other groups of disease which predominantly affect those who are a little above the average and whose general level of intelligence is higher than that of the mass; this includes also the aspirants of the world. 4. heart diseases, but not what is called heart failure. 5. the nervous diseases so prevalent at this time. these five groups of disease, and their various

pon all forms on earth by the basic condition, and by time. 3. it is conditioned by the forces emanating from that plane whereon a man's consciousness is primarily centred. to the above statements should be added a further fact, already mentioned, that: 4. there are five major groups of diseases, with their allied complaints and subsidiary diseases. a. tuberculosis. b. the syphilitic diseases. c. cancer. d. heart difficulties. e. nervous diseases. i am not dividing what i have to say into organic and functional troubles, nor do i here refer to- 34- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust illnesses induced by epidemics or by accidents. i refer to those basic taints or predispositions that are the dubious heritage of humanity as a whole, and to th

gan; this was, in a peculiar sense, the essential primeval evil, and concerning this fact, ancient legends and hints are found throughout the earliest records and writings. there is much misinterpreted testimony to this effect, and when men can read the records more correctly and with right interpretation, they will understand the way out, because they will see more clearly the underlying causes. cancer is a gift to modern man from the atlantean humanity, and the scourge of this disease was the major factor which devastated the inhabitants of old atlantis. the roots of this dire evil are deep-seated in the emotional or desire nature, and are grounded in the astral body. cancer is partially the result of a reaction to the diseases connected with the sex life which became so rampant in later

ays. the people of those times, seeing the fearful evils and the extent of the disease which grew up out of the fertile lemurian life, resulting from the promiscuous sex life on every hand, for the sake of self-preservation dammed back the natural flow of desire (the flow of life as it expresses itself through the centres of reproduction and procreation, and this in due time produced other evils. cancer is primarily a disease of inhibition, just as the syphilitic diseases are those of over-expression and overuse of one aspect of the mechanism of man. today, owing to the vast reaches of time involved and to the untold generations of those who have died upon the earth, the "germs (so-called by the unlearned thinker) of the dread complaint of cancer are to be found in the very soil on which w

hat they today share with men practically all his ailments in some form or another, sometimes recognisable and sometimes not. curiously enough, the cause of this great white scourge is to be found in the fact of the shift of the life emphasis away from the emotional nature into that of the mind nature, producing a temporary starvation of the emotional nature. it is largely a disease of depletion. cancer, in its turn, was based similarly on a previous shift of the life force from the physical body into that of the emotional nature, producing an overdevelopment of the cellular life, through overstimulation. i realise the difficulty of grasping these statements. i can only give you these unsubstantiated hints. later discoveries alone can prove the truth of my suggestions. let us here tabulate

rest, the disease. it is an interesting item in the field of esoteric correspondence that just as the light of the soul, pouring into the mind, can be depended upon to solve any problem, so that light of the sun and its prophylactic rays can dispel the dread symptoms of tuberculosis. similarly, as the race develops right emotional control we shall see the gradual disappearance of the phenomena of cancer. i said right emotional control; inhibition and the suppression of the desire impulses by the force of the will is not right control. it is interesting also to note that though both men and women suffer from the disease of cancer, the general cause is not identical, though the basic cause (reaction from an over-expression of the sex life through the cultivation of the desire nature) remains

e emotional-desire-feeling expression. men do suffer from this latter inhibition and have a tradition or a marked tendency to greater emotional control in the handling of life than have women. men do not require or acquire so marked a sex control. the general field of their inhibited life tendency is therefore of greater extent, and consequently (if statistics can be trusted) more men suffer from cancer than do women, though it is a dread disease, feared by all. in the secret of right transmutation lies the cure of cancer, and this will eventually be realised. i am using this phrase not only symbolically but also technically and scientifically. this again will later be seen. in the secret of right rhythmic living and in a right proportional accent upon all phases of life will come (and it

of right understanding of times and cycles and of periodic reproductive creation, will come the emergence of the race from the evils of the social diseases. it will be apparent to you, therefore, that the syphilitic diseases will be the last to disappear, just as they were the first to devastate the race. tuberculosis is disappearing. the attention of the experts is now being given to the cure of cancer- 38- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust i would like to add one or two comments which will be of general or rather modern interest. i have said that these taints to which humanity is prone are found in the soil, and that their presence there is largely due to the burial, down the ages, of millions of corpses. by the increased use of the proc

of form life and which has initiated the creative work, there begins to be felt the urge to achieve freedom from the form, to roll away the stone from the door of the sepulchre of the soul, and to stand in the liberty of the sons of god. in aries is found the impulse which leads to the building of the form, which for ages will constitute the prison house of the soul. this reaches its mass form in cancer, and its human form in leo; the densest point of illusion in form is reached in scorpio, and in pisces the form dies, only to be rebuilt again in the wearying round of form experience. but in this sign the way of liberation is first sensed, and the building of the spiritual body is begun. this is the sign of germinal spiritual activity, which later leads to the birth of the christ child, in

it. in aries, he grips his mind and seeks to [82] bend it to his need, learning mental control. in taurus "the mother of illumination, he receives his first flash of that spiritual light which will grow increasingly more brilliant as he nears his goal. in gemini, he not only appreciates the two aspects of his nature, but the immortal aspect begins to increase at the expense of the mortal. now, in cancer, he gets his first touch of that more universal sense which is the- 49- the labours of hercules higher aspect of the mass consciousness. equipped, therefore, with a controlled mind, a capacity to register illumination, an ability to contact his immortal aspect and intuitively to recognize the kingdom of spirit, he is ready now for the greater work. in the next four signs, which we might reg

city to register illumination, an ability to contact his immortal aspect and intuitively to recognize the kingdom of spirit, he is ready now for the greater work. in the next four signs, which we might regard as the signs of physical plane struggle for achievement, we have portrayed for us the tremendous battle through the medium of which the self-conscious individual, emerging out of the mass in cancer, knows himself to be the individual in leo, the potential christ in virgo, the aspirant endeavoring to balance the pairs of opposites in libra, and the one who overcomes illusion, in scorpio. these are the four signs of crisis and of stupendous endeavor. in them all the illumination, intuition and soul power of which hercules, the aspirant, is capable, are utilized to the uttermost. these h

the greeks tell us that it was the crab that was sent by hera to bite the foot of hercules (again we meet this symbol in the vulnerable "heel of achilles) this is an interesting way of expressing the liabilities of the incarnation process and of illustrating the handicaps which beset the soul as it travels along the path of evolution. it symbolizes the limitations of all physical incarnation, for cancer is one of the two great gates of the zodiac. it is the gate into the world of forms, into physical incarnation, and the sign wherein the duality of form and of soul is unified in the physical body. the opposite sign to cancer is capricorn, and these two constitute the two gates, one being the gate into form life, and the other into spiritual life; one opening the door into the mass form of

ning of human experience on the physical plane, the other marks its climax. one signifies potentiality, and the other consummation. we are told that christ gave to saint peter the keys of heaven and earth; he gave to him, therefore, the keys of these two gates. we read "jesus gives to peter. the keys to the two principal gates of the zodiac, which are the two solsticial points, the zodiacal signs cancer and capricorn, called the gates of the sun. through cancer, or the 'gate of man, the soul descends upon earth (to unite with the body, which is its spiritual death. through capricorn, the 'gate [86] of the gods, it reascends to heaven (e. valentia straiton, the celestial ship of the north vol. ii, p. 206. in the zodiac of denderah, the sign cancer is represented by a beetle, called in egypt

magnetic energy fields. these react with other magnetic energy fields and this is why people who live under electricity power lines are more prone to certain illnesses. the electromagnetic field thrown out by the power lines imbalances the magnetic mind-spirit of the people living nearby. this imbalance is passed through the multiple levels of our being to the physical body where it manifests as cancer or some other dis-ease. it can also directly affect cellular psychological fascism 369 functioning to create physical illness. therefore, if the manipulators can broadcast waves at certain frequencies, they can imbalance our cellular and non-physical magnetic levels and cause physical, mental, and emotional illness. former fbi agent, ted gunderson, has said that magnetic radioactive discs h

sounds really doubtful to me. i get seriously negative "vibes" whenever i hear the name. still, as with sai baba, each to their own. chapter 18 the freedom called love e can only be truly free when we respect ourselves and love ourselves, but humanity, collectively and individually, finds this so hard to do. as a result, we project into the world this self-dislike, even self-hatred, the spiritual cancer within us. the inner turmoil becomes the outer turmoil reported on the news bulletins. some of the most aggressive people i have met have been those who hate themselves and have no love or respect for themselves. if our thoughts and attitudes change, so must life on this planet. if we heal ourselves, we heal the world. the prison warder consciousness knows all this. to maintain the outer ch

s flow is powerful and harmonious we are operating at our full intuitive potential, but this can only be achieved when we are at peace with ourselves. like everything, emotions such as fear, guilt, and resentment, are an energy. these deep-seated and often long-held emotions act like dark knots of energy which eat us away and are, if not dealt with and released, a major cause of dis-eases such as cancer and heart problems. they block or diminish the natural, powerful, flow of intuitive energies, as they pass through our levels of being. you might see these knots of energy symbolically like dams or big rocks in a fast flowing river, slowing down the flow and causing disharmony as eddies and whirlpools are created. in a way, the vibratory prison is like a vast knot of negative energy which i

gative energy dispersal. it is a very positive contribution. but people who are doing this without knowing it often feel guilty at some of the emotions they are feeling. so much is happening that we don't understand and only when we stop judging ourselves from the viewpoint of the programmed status quo will we be able to release our feelings of guilt and fear. resentment this is another emotional cancer which manifests in so much individual and global self-destruction. if we create our own reality, whatever we experience is of our creation. we attract to us an energy field- person and experience- which can reflect our inner self as a physical reality before our eyes. or, as in the case of the robot radicals, they unknowingly help to highlight information by attacking it, so 436 .and the tr

dicine. the body-as-machine approach of darwin and others is still the one taught in medical schools and hospitals. it has become so farcical, that a hospital doctor i once met treats the nurses with homeopathy, but cannot treat his patients in that way, except secretly, because the wrath of the official drug-company-controlled medical establishment would be brought down upon him. millions die of cancer while many cures are suppressed. if you can't sell it at a vast profit under contract to a drug company, every effort is made to destroy methods of healing that would remove the so called "incurable" diseases of today. there are no incurable diseases. every one is caused by an energy imbalance- an imbalance that can be returned to harmony and, in doing so, the body returned to health. this

ontrol of the body to doctors and pharmacists. it is an expression, yet again, of the way humans look outside themselves for answers. we look outside for confirmation that we are ok; for someone else to blame when something goes wrong; and for the answers to our discomfort when our body is ill. the answers for all three are inside us, in our view of ourselves. self-hatred and frustration leads to cancer and heart disease, and every other ill can be linked to a mental, emotional, or spiritual imbalance, all of which can be corrected. i can thoroughly recommend a book called you can heal your life by louise hay1 for more detail about this. as we begin to love ourselves and let go of the fears, guilts, and resentments accumulated over the years and the aeons of time, disease in the world will

" the rites of mithras were performed in caves. porphyry, in his cave of the nymphs, states that zarathustra (zoroaster) was the first to consecrate a cave to the worship of god, because a cavern was symbolic of the earth, or the lower world of darkness. john p. lundy, in his monumental christianity, describes the cave of mithras as follows "but this cave was adorned with the signs of the zodiac, cancer and capricorn. the summer and winter solstices were chiefly conspicuous, as the gates of souls descending into this life, or passing out of it in their ascent to the gods; cancer being the gate of descent, and capricorn of ascent. these are the two avenues of the immortals passing up and down from earth to heaven, and from heaven to earth" the so-called chair of st. peter, in rome, was beli

tly to mishal "you mustn't think that way. god will save you. this is a test of faith" mrs. qureishi told mirza saeed the bad news with many shrieks and howls, and for the confused zamindar it was the last straw. he flew into a temper and started yelling loudly and trembling as if he might at any moment start smashing up the furniture in the room and its occupants as well "to hell with your spook cancer" he screamed at ayesha in his exasperation "you have come into my house with your craziness and angels and dripped poison into my family's ears. get out of here with your visions and your invisible spouse. this is the modern world, and it is medical doctors and not ghosts in potato fields who tell us when we are ill. you have created this bloody hullabaloo for nothing. get out and never com

"if you want to indulge in superstition, go, but don't expect me to come along. it's eight hours' drive each way; so, to hell with it" mishal left that afternoon with her mother and the driver, and as a result mirza saeed was not where he should have been, that is, at his wife's side, when the results of the tests were communicated to her: positive, inoperable, too far advanced, the claws of the cancer dug in deeply throughout her chest. a few months, six if she was lucky, and before that, coming soon, the pain. mishal returned to peristan and went straight to her rooms in the zenana, where she wrote her husband a formal note on lavender stationery, telling him of the doctor's diagnosis. when he read her death sentence, written in her own hand, he wanted very badly to burst into tears, bu

at in the event that the love or emotional life of an individual has been frustrated or repressed to such a point where the psyche finally refused to continue living wlrulst hampered by such a neurosis, some expression of that frustration could be transferred to the neighborhood of the kidneys. were the frustration complete and devastating to the psyche, it is not impossible that we should find a cancer-the symptom par excellence of the death-wish, the so-called suicide complex indicative of a division in the psyche's integrity. moreover, we could proceed a step further. we might enquire as to whether the affliction were on the right or left, remembering the qabalistic definition of the left pillar as the side of mercy, and that on the right as the pillar of severity.23 "unbalanced mercy i

WICCA EIGHT SABBATS OF WITCHCRAFT

folklore, these are referred to as the four 'quarter-days' of the year, and modern witches call them the four 'lesser sabbats, or the four 'low holidays. the summer solstice is one of them. technically, a solstice is an astronomical point and, due to the procession to the equinox, the date may vary by a few days depending on the year. the summer solstice occurs when the sun reaches the tropic of cancer, and we experience the longest day and the shortest night of the year. astrologers know this as the date on which the sun enters the sign of cancer. this year (1988) it will occur at 10:57 pm cdt on june 20th. however, since most european peasants were not accomplished at eight sabbats of witchcraft get any book for free on: www.abika.com 21 reading an ephemeris or did not live close enough

by his twin and alter-ego, the god of darkness. it is the time of the year when night conquers day. and as i have recently shown in my seasonal reconstruction of the welsh myth of blodeuwedd, the autumnal equinox is the only day of the whole year when llew (light) is vulnerable and it is possible to defeat him. llew now stands on the balance (libra/autumnal equinox, with one foot on the cauldron (cancer/summer solstice) and his other foot on the goat (capricorn/winter solstice. thus he is betrayed by blodeuwedd, the virgin (virgo) and transformed into an eagle (scorpio. two things are now likely to occur mythically, in rapid succession. having defeated llew, goronwy (darkness) now takes over llew's functions, both as lover to blodeuwedd, the goddess, and as king of our own world. although

w, betrayed by the virgin (blodeuwedd, poised on the balance, is transformed into an eagle? my readers who are astrologers are probably already gasping in recognition. the sequence is astrological and in proper order: leo (lion, virgo (virgin, libra (balance, and scorpio (for which the eagle is a well-known alternative symbol. also, the remaining icons, cauldron and goat, could arguably symbolize cancer and capricorn (representing summer and winter, the signs beginning with the two solstice points. so llew is balanced between cauldron and goat, between summer and winter, on the balance (libra) point of the autumnal equinox, with one foot on the summer solstice and one foot on the winter solstice. this, of course, is the answer to a related bardic riddle. repeatedly, the 'mabinogion' tells

th at the hands of his rival. however, at the very moment of his greatest strength, his dark twin, the seed of his destruction, is born- just as the days begin to shorten. the spear and the cauldron have often been used as symbols for this holiday and it should now be easy to see why. sun gods are virtually always associated with spears (even jesus is pierced by one, and the midsummer cauldron of cancer is a symbol of the goddess in her fullness. if we have learned anything from this story from the fourth branch of the 'mabinogion, it is about the power of myth- how it may still instruct and guide us, many centuries after it has passed from oral to written tradition. and in studying it, we have barely scratched the surfacean the html, text and pdb versions are bundled together in one zip f
