re cancer, scorpio and pisces. the four quarters of the circle every magical circle is divided into four quarters that are in ceremonial magick called the watchtowers. the higher essences who protect the quarters are invoked as the guardians, who control and direct the elemental powers. sometimes they are called kings, sometimes devas, or they may be pictured as the four main archangels, michael, gabriel, raphael and uriel. how you perceive your guardians in the ritual circle is up to you. as with all magick, there are disagreements about which archangel represents each element. this is because angels are found in a number of different traditions and religions and so may serve different functions under similar names. previously, i have associated raphael with the north and uriel with the e

DONALDTYSON CORONZON

s transmitted through kelley, in a set of diaries. a large portion of this transcript has survived. much of the most important material was reprinted in meric casaubon's a true and faithful relation, published in london in 1659. the primary reference to coronzon (so the name is spelled in casaubon's book) occurs on page 92 of a true and faithful relation. it is spoken to john dee by the archangel gabriel, or at least by an enochian spirit that identifies itself as the archangel gabriel. since this passage is essential to any understanding of the nature of coronzon, i will quote it: man in his creation, being made an innocent, was also authorised and made partaker of the power and spirit of god: whereby he not onely did know all things under his creation and spoke of them properly, naming t

the intent that the proportions may agree in themselves; for it is written, wisdom sitteth an hill, and beholdeth the four winds, and girdeth her self together as the brightnesse of the morning, which is visited with a few, and dwelleth alone as though she were a widow. this enormously important quotation deserves a brief examination in general, before referring to its significance for coronzon. gabriel declares that the early biblical description of man and his expulsion from the garden in the land of eden is essentially correct. in the beginning man was free of sin- innocent- and by virtue of this innocence was able to converse not only with the angels of god, but with god directly. he knew all creatures and things in the garden and was able to name them accurately because he spoke in t

ins no error. coronzon envied man's happiness and perceived that man's "lesser part" was weak and imperfect- by this, humanity's tendency to sexual desire is intended by the angel. however, man's pure essence was perfect, and continues to be perfect. the garden of eden is described in metaphorical terms, as a "garden of felicity" having been induced to sin by coronzon in a manner not described by gabriel, man is driven into the "earth which was covered with brambles" part of the curse of this expulsion, not explicitly mentioned in the corresponding section of the book of genesis, is the loss of the holy language of the angels. the revelation of gabriel that man spoke this angelic language in the garden explains how, as described in genesis, adam was able to accurately name all the beasts a

greatest consequence of the deceit of coronzon that resulted in man's expulsion was the loss of the angelic language. man was rendered "as dumb, and not able to speak" and of necessity began to learn a new less perfect language in order to express his thoughts and needs. this new language was not hebrew, since it did not have the same sounds or shapes of the written letters of hebrew. however, as gabriel reveals, the first language of man after the fall from grace shared the same division of letters that occurs in modern hebrew: three mother letters, seven single letters, and twelve double letters. this division has great significance in magic. gabriel declares that the enochian angels will restore to mankind through dee and kelley the angelic language "which adam verily spake in innocency

these mysteries and truths can be conveyed. just as a higher mathematical concept, such as the theory of relativity, cannot be conveyed in ordinary language, so is it impossible to convey the higher wisdom of god in ordinary language. it simply cannot be done. ordinary language is unsuited to embody higher truth. this is the enormous importance of the enochian language intimated by the archangel gabriel. and this is the precious "work and gift of god" stolen from man by coronzon- at least, in the version of the tale transmitted to dee and kelley by gabriel. wisdom is used by gabriel as another title for chokmah, the second sephirah on the tree of life. notice that when man is cast out, he is said by gabriel to have "lost the garden of felicity, the judgement of his understanding" understa

the tree was cut off by god- an act that took the form of rendering man dumb, unable to speak or comprehend the angelic language- the wellspring that fed understanding (binah) ceased to flow, and as a result, man lost the power of true and considered judgement (geburah. his judgement became unbalanced and reckless, and he fell prey to his lower emotions and impulses. the "four winds" mentioned by gabriel that surround wisdom are the four archangels of the elements, michael (fire, gabriel (water, raphael (air) and uriel (earth. they are winds because the speak with the angelic language, and its power and authority, and of course because they are winged. they are mentioned as a group in the book of enoch in connection with the fallen watchers who sin with the daughters of man, where these fo

m thinks that this was how abulafia used it.3 or it can be developed into an operative magic,4 using the power of the hebrew language, or the powers of the angels invoked by it, to perform magical works (i am speaking, of course, from the point of view of a mystical believer in magic, like pico della mirandola) the cabalists evolved many angelic names unknown to the scriptures (which mention only gabriel, raphael, and michael) by adding to a root term describing the angel's specific function a suffix, such as "el" or "iah, representing the name of god, and such angelic names invoked or inscribed on talismans had power. abbreviations of hebrew words, by the method of notarikon, or transpositions or anagrams of words by the method of temurah, were also potent. one of the most complicated of

ance that angels, who are voiceless, are better communicated with by signacula memorativa (hebraic mnemonic signs) than by speaking their names.4 reuchlin treats at length of the letter-number calculations, gives many names of angels, including those of the seventy-two who form the name of god (vehuiah, ieliel, sitael, elemiah, and so on)5 and instructions how to summon the more familiar raphael, gabriel, and michael.6 through reuchlin, pico's cabalist magic leads straight on to the angel magic of trithemius or of cornelius agrippa, though these magicians were to work it in a more crudely operative spirit than the pious and contemplative pico. pico's oration on the dignity of man echoes throughout with the words magia and cabala; these are the basic themes of his 1 pico, p. 112. 2 johannes

magic of a highly artistic nature, heightening the artistic perceptions with magical procedures. the same is probably true of pico's use of practical cabala, that it was mainly a subjective use of cabalist magic by a deeply religious and artistic nature. in what forms perhaps more sublimely beautiful in his imagination than even the angelic forms painted by a botticelli or a raphael did raphael, gabriel, and michael come to dwell with pico della mirandola? and perhaps it is also chiefly in this imaginative and artistic sense that we should understand the influence of the renaissance magic of the type inaugurated by ficino and pico. the operative magi of the renaissance were the artists, and it was a donatello or a michelangelo who knew how to infuse the divine life into statues through th

great leader will be made plain in the following articles; for the present, suffice it to say, that in the earth period, when various planets were differentiated to provide proper evolutionary environment for each class of spirits, the angels under jehovah were set to work with the inhabitants of all planets having moons; while the lucifer spirits have their abode upon the planet mars. the angel gabriel is representative on earth, of the lunar hierarchy, presided over by jehovah; the angel samael is ambassador of the martial forces of lucifer. gabriel (who announced the coming birth of jesus to mary) and his lunar angels are therefore the givers of physical life, while samael and the hosts of mars are the angels of death. thus originated the feud in the dim dawn of this cosmic day, and th

tood the four arch-angels, my false brothers: michael, the eldest, adorned with jewels and a flowing robe of airy white, an air of dignity and sagacity about him, bought with the silver of his hair and beard and the solemn, steel-gray eyes, full of wrong, half sneering as he looked upon me, his lip twisted with contempt for one a thousand times more worthy than he, for all his savant countenance; gabriel was the second amongst them, arrayed in plate of the finest gold, engraved with many fantastical depictions of the butchery of his foes, and in his right hand was held the instrument of that atrocity, the quadruple scythe that reaps the lives of men, and again did i see disdain, in his sapphire eyes; then raphael, arrayed in robes of purple, princely and haughty, youthful and handsome, lik

times accompanied him in his weary vigil, and with womanly intuition sensed the travail of his soul. at last one night in his fortieth year as he lay upon the floor of the cavern, enveloped in his cloak, a great light burst upon him. overcome with a sense of perfect peace and understanding in the blessedness of the celestial presence, he lost consciousness. when he came to himself again the angel gabriel stood before him, exhibiting a silken shawl with mysterious characters traced upon it. from these characters mohammed gained the basic doctrines later embodied in the koran. then gabriel spoke in a clear and wonderful voice, declaring mohammed to be the prophet of the living god. in awe and trembling, mohammed hastened to khadijah, fearing the vision to have been inspired by the same evil

n that upon a certain night mohammed was transported from the temple at mecca to that of jerusalem, but no details are given of the strange journey. in the mishk teu l- masabih, mohammed is made to describe his ascent through the seven heavens into the icy presence of the mayveiled god and his subsequent return to his own bed, all in a single night. mohammed was awakened in the night by the angel gabriel, who, after removing the prophet's heart, washed the cavity with zamzam water, and filled the heart itself with faith and science. a strange creature, called alborak, or the lightning bolt, was brought for the conveyance of the prophet. alborak is described as white animal of the shape and size of a mule, with the head of a woman and the tail of a peacock. according to some versions, moham

borak, or the lightning bolt, was brought for the conveyance of the prophet. alborak is described as white animal of the shape and size of a mule, with the head of a woman and the tail of a peacock. according to some versions, mohammed merely rode alborak to jerusalem, where, dismounting upon mount moriah, he caught hold of the lower rung of a golden ladder lowered from heaven and, accompanied by gabriel, ascended through the seven spheres separating he earth from the inner surface of the empyrean. at the gate of each sphere stood me of the patriarchs, whom mohammed saluted as he entered the various planes. at the gate of the first heaven stood adam; at the gate of the second, john and jesus (sisters' sons; at the third, joseph; at the fourth, enoch; at the fifth, aaron; at the sixth, mose

th, abraham. another order of the patriarchs and prophets is given which places jesus at the gate of the seventh heaven, and upon reaching this point mohammed is said to have requested jesus to intercede for him before the throne of god. p. 190 assured him that his own virtuous life would be his protection and that he need fear no evil. thus reassured, the prophet awaited further visitations from gabriel. when these did not come, however, such a despair filled his soul that he attempted self-destruction, only to be stopped in the very act of casting himself over a cliff by the sudden reappearance of gabriel, who again assured the prophet that the revelations needed by his people would be given to him as necessity arose. possibly as a result of his lonely periods of meditation, mohammed see

her aged husband was suffering intense pain, a isha--then but a girl of twenty--lifting the gray head of the man she had known from infancy and who must have seemed more like a father than a husband, supported him in her arms until the end. feeling that death was upon him, mohammed prayed "o lord, i beseech thee, assist me in the agonies of death" then almost in a whisper he repeated three times "gabriel, come close unto me (for details consult the life of mohammad by sir william muir) in the hero as prophet, thomas carlyle writes thus of the death of mohammed "his last words were a prayer, broken ejaculations of a heart struggling-up in trembling hope towards its maker" mohammed was buried under the floor of the apartment in which he died. the present condition of the grave is thus descri

hermore, if we take the alef of aron to equal 1000, the numerical value of aron is the same as the combined numerical values of akatriel,2 metatron, and sandalfon. aron: alef= 1000, reish= 200, vav= 6, nun= 50; 1000+ 200+ 6+ 50= 1256. 1 exodus 37:1. 2 these three names are names of angels. it is customary not to pronounce names of angels (unless these names are also used for people, e.g, michael, gabriel, raphael, etc. the arizal on parashat vayakhel (2) 400 akatriel= 662, metatron= 314, sandalfon= 280; 662+ 314+ 280= 1256. as mentioned previously, these three angels are the personifications of the consciousnesses of the worlds of atizlut, beriah, and yetzirah, respectively. the tablets inside the three arks were [a manifestation of] the name havayah of the world of atzilut. i.e, the open

o lippi. although the power of the church extended its control of the arts, as the governments do with the media in modern times, painters such as leornado da vinci explored philosophies of heresy and mysticism, sciences liberal and otherwise. to keen and unconditioned eyes there are numerous signs of profound magical humour in their works, hidden in plain view. the archangels named in the bible (gabriel, michael, raphael) were mentioned in the seventh century onwards in the litany of the saints, although it was only as late as the last century that benedict xv made the feast of the last two obligatory. the names of the other angels were deemed apocryphal. the book of enoch adds uriel, raguel, saraqael and haniel to the list of archangels. in the mid-eighth century a frankish priest named

h according to the zohar the creation of the world was the work of the shekinah, who is the female aspect of the metatron. the shekinah was exiled after the fall of adam and eve, and according to rabbinical lore the entire purpose of the torah is to lead the shekinah back to god and unite her with him. micha-el originally a chaldean deity, the name micha-el translates as who is as god. along with gabriel he is one of the only two angels actually named in the old testament. it was he who vanquished satan from heaven in single combat. it is also he who will descend from heaven with the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand and will bind the beast for 1000 years (revelations: 20:1. according to jewish lore it is micha-el who appeared to moses in the midst of the burning bush. he appe

bly complaining soul from paradise to its reincarnation in the womb of an earthly mother. she/he appears to zacharias to announce the coming of john the baptist, and again in daniel to tell him of the coming of a messiah, a message she repeats to mary in the annunciation. gabri-el lead the second war in heaven and was thus expelled like lucifer, but later forgiven and reinstated. during this time gabriel was replaced by the angel dobiel. rapha-el originally known in chaldea as labbi-el, the name rapha-el means the shining one who heals. in the zohar it is said that he is charged to heal the earth. the earth which furnishes a place for man, whom he also heals of his illnesses. in enoch i he is declared to be one of the four presences set over all the diseases and all the wounds in the child

primarily only an attribution humans attach to angelic entities in order to make our visualization more relatable. next, learn its sigil and use it on all your talismans. the sigil is your special seal of protection. the way of doing this, and the traditional way of creating many sacred and angelic sigils or signatures in the golden dawn tradition, is to take the letters of the name, for instance gabriel (gbrial, and trace them in order onto the golden dawn rose glyph (see figure 2-c) through a thin sheet of paper. it is best to use a ruler. the usual way of making a sigil is to indicate its opening with a circle and close with a small line. in our lodge we usually close with an arrow, so gabriel looks like figure 2-d. what have you just done? you have made a glyph or visual image of an an

WICCA EIGHT SABBATS OF WITCHCRAFT

ll prove. in the roman catholic church, there are two holidays which get mixed up with the vernal equinox. the first, occurring on the fixed calendar day of march 25th in the old liturgical calendar, is called the feast of the annunciation of the blessed virgin mary (or b.v.m, as she was typically abbreviated in catholic missals 'annunciation' means an announcement. this is the day that the angel gabriel announced to mary that she was 'in the family way. naturally, this had to be announced since mary, being still a virgin, would have no other means of knowing it (quit scoffing, o ye of little faith) why did the church pick the vernal equinox for the commemoration of this event? because it was necessary to have mary conceive the child jesus a full nine months before his birth at the winter

st of the archangel michael (one wonders if, at some point, the r.c. church contemplated assigning the four quarter days of the year to the four archangels, just as they assigned the four cross-quarter days to the four gospel-writers. further evidence for this may be seen in the fact that there was a brief flirtation with calling the vernal equinox 'gabrielmas, ostensibly to commemorate the angel gabriel's announcement to mary on lady day) again, it must be remembered that the celts reckoned their days from sundown to sundown, so the september 25th festivities actually begin on the previous sundown (our eight sabbats of witchcraft get any book for free on: www.abika.com 28 september 24th. although our pagan ancestors probably celebrated harvest home on september 25th, modern witches and pa
