ALEISTER CROWLEY MAGICK IN THEORY AND PRACTICE

it must be understood that we are here speaking of the whole ceremony considered as a unity, not merely of that formula in which "yod" is the god invoked "he" the archangel, and so on. in order to understand the ceremony under this formula, we must take a more extended view of the functions of the four weapons than we have hitherto done. the formation of the "yod" is the formulation of the first creative force, of that father who is called "self-begotten, and unto whom it is said "thou has formulated thy father, and made fertile thy mother. the adding of the "he" to the "yod" is the marriage of that father to the great co-equal mother, who is a reflection of nuit as he is of hadit. their union brings forth the son "vau" who is the heir. finally the daughter "he" is produced. she is both t

or as it was first created, and then by his will the physical atoms were marshaled into this matrix of thought, thus gradually bringing the universe into manifestation as designed by its creator. nor is this process complete, but will continue until the whole has become perfect as originally designed. the divine hierarchies who have carried out the plan of the great creator also use the same dual creative force when fashioning the crystal in the mineral, the leaf of the plant, or the shape of the animal. their powerful imagination pictures in the archetypal region of the earth that which they desire to create, and their concentrated will moulds the coarser matter into this matrix until it assumes a definite physical form as desired. man, the spirit, has a like creative power, and has throu

ideas as is observed among the various peoples of the earth being attributable to variations in temperament caused by changed conditions of life. in other words, the divergence in the course of religious development has doubtless been due to environment. in an attempt to understand the history of the growth of the god-idea, the fact should be borne in mind that, from the earliest conception of a creative force in the animal and vegetable world to the latest development in theological speculation, there has never been what might consistently be termed a new religion. on the contrary, religion like everything else is subject to the law of growth; therefore the faiths of to-day are the legitimate result, or outcome, of the primary idea of a deity developed in accordance with the laws governi

in attempting to gain a knowledge of this subject simply by studying the later developments in its history. if we are really desirous of obtaining information regarding present religious phenomena, it is plain that we should adopt the scientific method and turn our attention to the remote past, where, by careful and systematic investigation, we are enabled to perceive the earliest conception of a creative force and the fundamental basis of all religious systems, from which may be traced the gradual development of the god-idea. chapter i. sex the foundation of the god-idea. in the study of primitive religion, the analogy existing between the growth of the god-idea and the development of the human race, and especially of the two sex-principles, is everywhere clearly apparent "religion is to

bly correct account of the growth of the god-idea. we shall perceive that during an earlier age of human existence, not only were the reproductive powers throughout nature, and especially in human beings and in animals, venerated as the creator, but we shall find also that the prevailing ideas relative to the importance of either sex in the office of reproduction decided the sex of this universal creative force. we shall observe also that the ideas of a god have always corresponded with the current opinions regarding the importance of either sex in human society. in other words, so long as female power and influence were in the ascendency, the creative force was regarded as embodying the principles of the female nature; later, however, when woman's power waned, and the supremacy of man was

pe fruit thou drop into thy mother's lap"[4 [4] primitive culture, vol. i, p. 295. in the old religion the sky was the husband of the earth and the earth was mother of all the gods.[5] in the traditions of past ages the fact is clearly perceived that there was a time when the mother was not only the one recognized parent on earth, but that the female principle was worshipped as the more important creative force throughout nature [5] max muller, origin and growth of religion, p. 279. doubtless the worship of the female energy prevailed under the matriarchal system, and was practised at a time when women were the recognized heads of families and when they were regarded as the more important factors in human society. the fact has been shown in a previous work that after women began to leave t

ch during numberless ages were made to dethrone the female principle in the god-idea, the great mother, under some one of her various appellations, continued, down to a late period in the history of the human race, to claim the homage and adoration of a large portion of the inhabitants of the globe. and so difficult was it, even after the male element had declared itself supreme, to conceive of a creative force independently of the female principle, that oftentimes, during the earlier ages of their attempted separation, great confusion and obscurity are observed in determining the positions of male deities. zeus who in later times came to be worshipped as male was formerly represented as "the great dyke, the terrible virgin who breathes out on crime, anger, and death" grote refers to numer

lligence; then follows zeus, demarius, and adorus. without doubt this triad represents a monad deity similar in character to the one observed in egypt and other countries. in the minds of all well-informed persons, there is no longer any doubt that in abraham's time the canaanites worshipped the same gods as did the persians and all the other nations about them- namely, elohim, the dual or triune creative force in nature. as the sun was the source whence proceeded all light and life as well as reproductive or generative power, it had become the object of adoration, and as the emblem of the deity, it was worshipped by all the nations of the earth in its three capacities as creator, preserver, and destroyer or regenerator each female and male. melchizedek, who was a priest of the most high g

the female is the more important, worshipped the female energy throughout nature under one or another of its symbols, sometimes as a woman with her child and sometimes as a dove, but oftener as an ark, box, or chest. it is evident from the sacred writings of the hindoos that in india, during a period of several thousand years, there existed various sects, those who worshipped the male as the only creative force, others who adored the female as the origin of life, and those who paid homage to both, as alike important in the office of reproduction. it would seem that the fierce wars which had devastated the land had ceased prior to the beginning of the tower of babel. according to the testimony of moses, the lord himself declared "behold the people is one" this unanimity of belief, as is pla

amusing as it is suggestive, and forcibly recalls to mind la couvade, in which, among certain tribes, the father, assuming all the duties of procreation, goes to bed when a child is born.[59 [59] the evolution of woman, p. 127. all mythologies prove conclusively that ages elapsed before human beings were rash enough, or sufficiently blinded by falsehood and superstition, to attempt to construct a creative force unaided by the female principle. just here it may not be out of place to refer to the fact that in the attempt to divorce god from nature have arisen all the superstitions and senseless religious theories with which, since the earliest ages of metaphysical speculation, the human mind has been crowded. to this separation of the two original elements in the deity, and the consequent e

s the maternal principle constituted the most important as well as the most obvious of the facts which entered into the conception of a creator, and as it was the only natural bond capable of binding human society together, so long as reason was not wholly clouded by superstition and warped by sensuality, it could not be eliminated. in other words, a creator in which the more essential element of creative force was wanting, was contrary to all human experience and observation. indeed nothing could be plainer than that the deified male principle could of itself create nothing, and that it was dependent for its very existence on the female element. by this attempt to construct a masculine deity, absurdities were presented to the human judgment and understanding which for ages could not be ov

e priests of later times to invest the "chosen people" with the insignia of enlightenment. regarding the character of the god which they worshipped, we have ample proof in the old testament. it is plain that at the time of their bondage in egypt the jews had become the grossest phallic worshippers, adoring the emblems of generation, with no thought of their earlier significance as pure symbols of creative force in mortals. the fact will doubtless be remembered that, among the jews, to be barren was the greatest curse, and that the principal reward promised to the faithful was fruitfulness of body. the essence of this deity was heat or passion, and his emblem was the serpent or an upright stone. it has been observed that when this "lord" was invested with personality he was subject to all t

eth. the name of one of the oldest deities of which we have any record is set (phoenician) or seth (hebrew. traces of this god are found in all oriental countries; and in the most primitive religions, whose traditions are still extant, he (or she) appears as the supreme god. after the subjection of egypt by the stranger kings and the consequent introduction into the country of sabianism, the dual creative force residing in the sun is represented by seth. we are told that seth signifies "appointed or put in the place of the murdered abel" that there is some deep mystery connected with this subject none who has studied it carefully can help observing. according to the story of creation as set forth in the jehovistic account, on saturday night, after god had finished his work, and immediately

were formerly worshippers of a female deity. jehovah, iav, was originally female. although the secret meaning of all the allegories contained in the old testament is not fully understood, still the belief that cain, abel, and seth represented the self-triplicated deity at a time when the idea of man as a creator had been accepted, or when his power to reproduce was becoming the highest idea of a creative force, is consistent with what is known of the cabala of the jews, or of the esoteric meaning of the jewish scriptures formerly known only to the priests. in other words, the ancient doctrines, the true meaning of which was no longer understood by them, were patched together as a basis for the later developments in jewish religious experience. we have seen that six hundred years after ada

gether as a basis for the later developments in jewish religious experience. we have seen that six hundred years after adam appears noah, another self-triplicated saviour or preserver of man, with his ark or seed vessel, beneath which is veiled the female element. afterward abraham becomes the great father or saviour, and later moses. that, in the time of the latter, the more ancient worship of a creative force in nature represented by the aleim, had, by the masses of the people, been wholly lost, is evident from the old testament writings. the worship of the father, the male power, in opposition to that of the mother, or the female power, constituted the religion of moses. in the religion of the jews, jehovah came to be regarded as wholly male and as spirit, while edam (translated "downwa

f "one god" who was the regenerator or destroyer, a deity which, as we have seen, originally comprehended the powers of nature--namely the sun's heat and the cold of winter. that at this time, however, they had lost the higher truths involved in the conception of this deity, is evident. they had become worshippers of fire, or of that subtle igneous fluid residing in fire which they believed to be creative force. although the persiaus like all the other nations of the globe had lost or forgotten the higher truths enunciated by an older race, there is no evidence going to show that they ever became gross phallic worshippers like the jews; that they were not such is shown in the fact that down to the time of alexander the women of persia still held a high and honorable position, and that the

late as the 16th century, prove that the devotees of the christian system were not at this time a whit behind their pagan predecessors in their zeal for "heathen abominations" the only difference being that the druids, a people who still retained a faint conception of ancient nature worship, had not become entirely divested of the purer ideas which in an earlier age of the race had constituted a creative force. that the war of the sexes was revived, and that for many centuries much strife was engendered over the exact importance which should be ascribed to the female element in the deity may not be doubted. an ancient homily on trinity sunday has the following "at the deth of a manne, three bells should be ronge as his kuyl in worship of the trinitie, and for a woman, who was the second p
