or which the day is named. no one can deny the sheer elegance of this system, which may, indeed, be the explanation for the order of the days of the week. however, an adherence to plan- etary hours is an unnecessary restriction of the powers of the magus. all planetary forces are equally effective at all times. if one believes the position of a planet (the physical representative of the planetary god-form) regulates its powers, that belief causes the planet's magic to be more potent when the planet is in a particular heav- enly position. for example, those times when a planet is at the zenith of the heav- ens, or rising above the horizon, or in a particularly harmonious sign of the zodiac, are considered more powerful than other times. the belief that the planets are allotted certain days

he gleaming, sterile skyscrapers of every modern city. he is even more powerful and insidious because he has not yet been overtly recognized as a god. he is a god of oil and smoke and darkness who cares nothing for the sorrows of humanity. in magic, the common way of utilizing the power of the gods is by putting them on, like a cloak or mantle, over the perceived self. this is called assuming the god-form and is a kind of invocation. if the magus wished to become more attractive, through this method he or she might create a ritual to take on the god-form of apollo or aphrodite, and view the world through the eyes of that lesser deity for a time. if done correctly and repeat- edly, this would give the magus great personal charm and beauty of a combined physical and psychic character. the hi

the magus were crippled or deformed, the beauty would take on a predominantly mental and emotional character. the physical handicap might become lessened through surgery or other treatment. magic uses mundane means to reach its ends as readily as the more esoteric means. magic makes no dis- tinction between the physical and the psychic-these are human distinctions. another function of assuming a god-form is that it better enables the magus to issue commands to the spirits and forces that fall under the rule of that god. in becoming thor, the magus will command the storms; becoming pan, he or she will rule the woodlands; becoming neptune, the sea. it is quite possible to assume a god-form of the opposite sex. every human being has both masculine and feminine qualities, with one or the othe

commands to the spirits and forces that fall under the rule of that god. in becoming thor, the magus will command the storms; becoming pan, he or she will rule the woodlands; becoming neptune, the sea. it is quite possible to assume a god-form of the opposite sex. every human being has both masculine and feminine qualities, with one or the other in a dom- inant or active position. by assuming the god-form of the opposite sex, the magus may learn a great deal of useful information about the other side of his or her nature, which is probably suppressed during ordinary consciousness. before attempting to assume a god-form, the magus should have a thorough knowledge of the basics of ritual working, the ability to compose a personal rite of invocation that is viable, and a complete knowledge of

the ability to compose a personal rite of invocation that is viable, and a complete knowledge of the gods of mythology (their strengths and weaknesses, associated materials and colors, familiar animals, symbols, scents, and so on. it is best to practice by assuming the forms of the angels, as these are unlikely to prove harmful. then the more benevolent gods should be assumed &st. invocation of a god-form is a type of voluntary possession. for a period of time limited by the protective safeguards of the ritual, the magus allows his or her normal personality to be overshadowed and dominated by the character of a par- ticular god. depending on the nature of the invoked god, this can be a pleasant or unpleasant experience, but it is always dangerous. personality is at best a feeble flame that

dipped her infant son into the waters of the :infernal river styx, but neglected to coat his foot with this magical liquid. thereafier achilles was invincible in battle. no weapon could wound him, until the trojan paris shot him in the heel with an arrow and killed him. every god and demon has his or her achilles' heel, which the magus can discover and use as an instrument of control. to assume a god-form, the magus prepares him or herself by meditation, prayer and personal cleansing, then draws a magic circle in the presence of the attributes and associations of the god. he or she wears a symbol of the god next to the skin over the heart. an image of the god is placed upon the altar. the symbol and the image of the god should be formed in part from a common substance con- nected most clos

with its natural weakness. most gods have an affinity with one of the four elements, and the opposite element will affect them unpleasantly. for example, mercury, god of airy motion, can be compelled by the threat to imprison his image in clay; however, mercury is a most tractable deity and will never betray the magus. if it happens that the magus has been very foolish or careless and the invoked god-form has gained the upper hand, remember that all manifest beings are sub- servient to the light. earnest prayer is the one ritual action no demonic force can directly prevent the magus from performing. the magus should open his or her personal self without reservation to the divine spirit, which will wash through the body of the magus like a cool stream and carry away any obsession. the god-f

se northern gods are often used for mali- cious purposes. although not evil themselves, they care nothing about human suf- fering-just the opposite, they delight in seeing the human will struggle against adversity, and view human disputes and wars as sport. these are three of the main pantheons used in modern magic. the gods of voudoun and the celtic gods are also frequently invoked. however, any god-form from any culture, once thoroughly understood, can be invoked and assumed by any magus. it is usually safer and more effective to rely on those gods from civilized soci- eties with which the magus has a personal affinity. for a white european to assume an african tribal god would be foolish, unless he or she were completely in harmony with the culture and beliefs of that african tribe. for

however, the native tongue of the magus is given to him or her by god, and should be used in the majority of ritual workings. the magical, or secret, name of a spirit should be thought of as its true name, or even as its very soul, and will be different for each adept who derives it. the common name of a spirit, such as baal or michael, is the name of a collective rul- ing being-a poorly defined god-form-while the many different secret names apply to the numberless spirits under its rule. these are the armies said to be under the princes and dukes of hell; these are the numerous servants of the archangels, not lesser individual spirits, but particular aspects of the one collective spirit that bears the exoteric name. when the magus calls forth one of the traditional spirits, he or she wil

rm of each god or goddess and its distinguishing characteristics define its magic circle. all of the deities of mythology are god-forms created by human will through the mechanism of ritual. this applies to the manifest forms of the supreme gods of the major religions no less than to the pagan idols of primitive tribes. every god that bears a name, or indeed any other distinguishing feature, is a god-form created by human beings. however, the spiritual virtue inhabiting and animating god-forms is not created by human beings, but is induced to dwell within those forms by human prayer, sacrifice, and worship. invocation: the summoning of spirits or blind forces into the ritual circle, often into the physical body of the magus, for the purpose of experiencing or manip- ulating those beings or

ly aware of the value of this technique, i can only assume that they regarded it as too powerful to explicitly set forth in detail in the general writings that circulated among the lower ranks of the golden dawn. certainly aleister crowley recognized full well its central role in western occultism and made extensive use of it in his own magical experiments. the rationale for the assumption of the god-form is very simple. to change ourselves in a fundamental way, it is necessary that we become 148 tetragrammaton someone else. to change for the better, we must become one who is better. to become wiser, we must take on the identity and persona of a spirit of wisdom such as the egyptian god thoth. to become more beautiful, we must assume the form and persona of a god of beauty such as apollo o

ian god thoth. to become more beautiful, we must assume the form and persona of a god of beauty such as apollo or aphrodite. to become more courageous and warlike, we must take on the nature of a war god such as mars or the northern god tew. when properly done, the assumed god or spirit actually displaces the thoughts, feelings, and even the physical appearance of the ritualist. while wearing the god-form, the ritualist retains only a detached self-awareness. his or her emotional responses, cogitations, sensations, impulses and motivations are all those of the god or goddess assumed. ideally, when the ritualist looks into a mirror during the invocation, he or she sees, not his or her own features, but the face of the god. by repeatedly assuming a god-form, the soul of the ritualist is tune

g in salt, it is salt" by repeatedly experiencing the thoughts, emotions, attitudes, impulses, beliefs, sensations, and urges of a god as our own, we can gradually evoke these same thoughts and feelings within ourselves even when not ritually assuming the form of that god. this makes available to us the occult virtues of the god whenever we have need for them. the long-term function of assuming a god-form is to change ourselves into stronger, wiser, and better human beings. this is done by repeatedly assuming the same god-form daily over a period of months, or even years. however, the technique has a more immediate application in magic. by assuming the form of a god during a ritual, we magically become that god and are then able to use the authority of that god to command lesser spirits. i

acts 19:15. we can only imagine the expression on the faces of the exorcists as they stared at one another, an instant before the demon tore their clothes off and beat them to within an inch of their lives, but it surely ranks as one of the most amusing scenes of the bible. assuming the christ-form 1 49 these exorcists made the mistake of trying to use the name of jesus without having assumed the god-form of jesus. this is a lesson to later magicians. to effectively use the name of a god, we must at the same time take on the identity of that god by assuming its god-form. if we fail to do this, the name of the god will lack authority. it will remain merely a word. the spirits we seek to command will laugh at us for our audacity and credulity, and will either ignore us if they are higher spi

would be to command the wings by the authority of the archangels of the four beasts, ruling each wing by the name of the beast to which it belongs. the angels associated with the four beasts are michael (lion, gabriel (eagle, raphael (man, and uriel (bull. for example, the angel of severity vabashiah, who is the forward wing on the left side of the back of the bull, would be ruled by assuming the god-form of uriel. there is an easier way that eliminates the necessity of assuming a variety of god-forms, each of which rules a specific wing, or set of wings. it is to assume the god-form of the messiah, who rules all the wings, and all the lesser angels as well. when we successfully take on the identity of the heavenly christ, we are able to command even the highest angel, metatron, who is the

prominent breasts. throughout religious history, messiah figures (incarnations of god in human form) have been given hermaphroditic qualities. they belong to the middle pillar of the tree of the sephiroth. the seated christ is the tendency of this middle pillar emanation toward the right side; the mounted christ is the opposite tendency toward the left side. in order to completely unite with the god-form of heavenly christ, it is necessary to take onto ourselves his magical name. his true magical name is beyond human comprehension, but we can use a symbolic name to represent this true name. for the christian kabbalists of the renaissance, the secret name of christ was ihshvh, or its variant form ihvshh. for ritual purposes, we will assume the god-form of the messiah under the name ihvshh

wings of severity on the left side. we do this because ihvshh initiates a clockwise rotation around the points of the pentagram, whereas ihshvh initiates a counterclockwise rotation around the points of the pentagram. the counterclockwise inward spiral invokes the angels of severity on the left, and the clockwise inward swirl invokes the angels of mercy on the right. the technique of assuming the god-form was common in the religious rites of the ancient world. all types of divine possession by prophets relied upon the prophet becoming, for a time, the god in whose authority he prophesied. the ultimate goal of all worshippers is to become one with god. catholic priests seek as much as possible to embody jesus upon the earth. good moslems strive to pattern themselves upon the prophet mohamme

od. even more fascinating, from a magical standpoint, is the last part of the verse, where the author says "i will write upon him my new name" the name of god has become the magical name of st. john, who is possessed with the holy spirit, even as i t becomes the new name of the worthy "names" of sardis. by this literary device, the author shows that he has put off his old identity and assumed the god-form of the heavenly christ by ritually taking onto himself the secret magical name of christ, which he does not reveal. the name of heavenly jerusalem mentioned in the verse refers to the permutations of tetragrammaton. jerusalem is another version of the breastplate of aaron. jerusalem is said to have twelve gates, which are like the twelve stones of the ephod, each gate inscribed with the n

nd enemies. once erected, with will, sweat and blood it is very difficult for another to trespass these walls. the vampiric strength of astral shape shifting is through dream manipulation and awakening. the vampire who is able to alter his/her form in the dream is an awakened avatar of the great vampiric spiral force. for if opened one is able to take on the personal and psychic attributes of the god form they most assume. the wolf offers speed, the bat offers flight, excellent night vision (in bat assumed forms on the dream plane, from personal experience and others testimony, you are usually able to see perfectly compared to the bats' own lack of eyesight) and a heightened predatory instinct involving the smell for blood and the speed of quick attack. the beast-wolf form is excellent for
