aimon, ariton and amaymon,are usually allotted to the evil kings of the four quarters of the world. oriens, from latin, oriens= rising or eastern. this name is also written uriens, from latin, uro= to burn, or devour with flame. it is probably from uriens that a mediaeval title of the devil, viz, sir urien, is derived. the name is also sometimes written urieus, from latin, urios, a title given to jupiter as presiding over the wind. urieus is also derivable from the greek adj. eurus, eureia, euru, meaning vast or extensive. by the rabbins he is also called smal, samael, which is derived from the hebrew root sml, which means a figure, image, or idol. it is a name given in the qabalah to one of the chief evil spirits. paimon: is also frequently written paymon, and sometimes paimonia. probably

the same idea as the english words to shed; and signifies a female breast. ekdulon: probably from greek, ekduo= to despoil. mantiens: from latin, mantiens, and greek, manteia, prophesying, divining. obedama: from hebrew,obd= a servant. ama= mother. but amh= a maid-servant, whence obedama should signify a womanservant. sachiel: is a name frequently given in magical works to an angel of the planet jupiter. skk= to cover or protect, but schh= to trample down. moschel: from hebrew, mvsh= to move oneself about. pereuch: perhaps from greek, per and euche= concerning prayer, or given unto prayer. deccal: from hebrew, dchl= to fear. asperim: perhaps from latin, aspera= rude, rigorous, perilous, dangerous. katini: from hebrew, kthn= a tunic, whence the greek word chiton. torfora: from hebrew, thor

anets afford only temporary homes to these principles. others persist throughout the mahamanvantara. of these venus is one. three of the sacred planets, it should be remembered, are the home of the three major rays, of the embodied forms of the three logoic aspects or principles. other planets are embodiments of the four minor rays. we might consider from the standpoint of the present that venus, jupiter and saturn might be considered as the vehicles of the three super-principles at this time. mercury, the earth and mars are closely allied to these three, but a hidden mystery lies here. the evolution of the inner round has a close connection with this problem. perhaps some light may be thrown upon the obscurity of the matter by the realisation that just as the logos has (in the non-sacred

on with their order of development or importance, or their position in relation to the central planet, the sun, or to each other. only two are to be considered numerically accurate at this stage and in this round, i.e, our earth, the fourth scheme, and venus, the second. venus is either the second or the sixth scheme, according to whether the schemes are counted mystically or occultly. inversely, jupiter will be either the second or the sixth, and it must be remembered that: a. the planets venus and jupiter are exceedingly closely connected with the earth, and form eventually an esoteric triangle. b. saturn is the synthesising scheme for the four planets which embody manas purely and simply, or is the major resolution of the minor four, and eventually for all the seven. see figure c. mercu

with the earth, and form eventually an esoteric triangle. b. saturn is the synthesising scheme for the four planets which embody manas purely and simply, or is the major resolution of the minor four, and eventually for all the seven. see figure c. mercury, the star of the intuition, or of transmuted manas, is, at this stage, considered as the fifth scheme. therefore, the heavenly men of venus and jupiter are magnetically linked with the heavenly man of our scheme. the relationship of the logos of jupiter and his influence will not be realised nor felt until the sixth round is in full force, though during the sixth root-race his vibration will be acknowledged and sensed; in the middle of the fifth round the logos of mercury will, with the logos of the venus scheme, and of our earth, form a

t, name the different chains of the earth scheme. we must bear carefully in mind the fact that these are simply names, affixed to the chains and globes for the sake of clarity. as this subject is more widely studied it will inevitably be found advisable to call the chains by their numbers, and to drop the names as at present used: 1. neptune. 2. venus. 3. saturn. 4. earth. 5. mercury. 6. mars. 7. jupiter. it is necessary here to take the opportunity to sound a note of warning to students in connection with the charts which have been inserted in the treatise. they depict only one cycle in logoic evolution, and cover only the present greater period in the working out of which we are engaged. they might be roughly described as embracing that period in the system which began for us in the midd

nsmuted into love-wisdom. when three fifths of the units (deva and human) that go to the composition of the vehicles of any planetary logos are entering upon the path, then the process of transmutation is entered upon. the faculty of mind is then an instrument for creative use, and not the "slayer of the real" and a barrier to the free life of the spirit. again, it must be noted that earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, and vulcan are as yet developing manas, and the stage achieved in each varies, and is not for exoteric publication. the heavenly men of these schemes have not yet succeeded in bringing their bodies to the stage where transmutation on a large scale is possible. they are approaching it, and when the necessary three fifths is reached, then they will begin to transmute on a larger sca

at some of the planets are considered as "sacred planets" and some are not. i am here using the words "planetary influence" in the same sense as the astrologer uses them, for he is not dealing, either, with the basic planetary rays. it might be stated therefore that the planetary relations in this cycle are as follows: 1. the mineral kingdom. pluto and vulcan. 2. the vegetable kingdom .v enus and jupiter. 3. the animal kingdom. the moon and mars. 4. the human kingdom. mercury and saturn. 5. the kingdom of souls. neptune and uranus. 6. synthesising these five. the sun. there are other planetary influences to be felt, and hidden forces likewise play upon our planetary life, but these are the major influences bringing about the desired results in the kingdoms of nature under the plan. it must

DAVID ICKE CHILDREN OF THE MATRIX

he says that a group of boeing physicists got together to launch a private study aimed at explaining the many anomalies of the earth and other planets of the solar system that could not be explained by normal physics. what they concluded was to present staggering support for velikovsky, although they differed on time scale by about 3,000 years. they said that around 5000bc a huge body, now called jupiter, careered through the solar system. this threw the outer planets into disarray, so explaining their present anomalies of spin direction and speed. jupiter crashed into a planet that once orbited between where mars and jupiter are today and the debris from this planet, they said, can be seen as the otherwise unexplained asteroid belt that occupies the space between..mars and jupiter. i saw

("the righteous ones of the blazing rockets. they are best known as the anunnaki and so i shall use that designer history 25 term in the book. the anunnaki, as we shall see, were a reptilian race from the stars. the sumerian tablets describe, according to the author and translator, zechariah sitchin, a collision between the moons of a planet they called nibiru and one orbiting between the present jupiter and mars.54 the debris from this stupendous collision, sitchin's translations say, created what the sumerians called "the great band bracelet- the asteroid belt. the sumerian accounts differ in detail, but again the theme is the same. in their version of these events, the boeing physicists suggested that part of jupiter broke away on impact with another planet. this is the body we now call

and sumerian legends and accounts, describe indra as tall, fair, invincible, and armed with a bolt. this is how eindri or thor is described in the edda and waddell concluded from considerable research that the european god, thor, and the hindu god, indra, were the same person, and that this guy was also the first "aryan" king of sumer. the vedas connect indra to the greek god zeus, also known as jupiter. some sanskrit scholars regarded indra as the same as jupiter and suggested that he was a heroic human king who had led the early aryans or "nordics" to victory against the "serpent cult. waddell produces a stream of evidence to show that the hindu god, indra, and the european, thor, after whom we get thursday or "thors-day, are the same person or deity. he also says that the legend of tho

the sun. the planets also create less powerful wave circles aroundthemselves and these can attract lighter bodies which orbit them. the moon orbiting theearth is an example of this. so anything that would disturb this harmony of vibrationalinteraction would affect these concentric circles of energy and, if this was powerfulenough, change the orbit of planets. what the physicists say happened with jupiter andv enus would certainly be powerful enough to do this. these circles of standing wavesexist around the sun in relation to the vibrational pressures involved and they do notneed a planet to exist. they exist anyway and a planetary body merely locks into them.therefore there are many more of these vibrational roadways in the solar system thanthere are planets, and if a planet or body is ej

getting hold of the qabalistic system, so intricate, abstract, and voluminous, and yet so comprehensive and satisfactory when once it is mastered. 22. before we can consider the second triangle of the tree as a unit, we must know the meaning of its component sephiroth. chesed means mercy or love; it is also called gedulah, greatness or magnificence, and to it is assigned the sphere of the planet jupiter. geburah means strength; it is ako called pachad, fear; to it is assigned the sphere of th planet mars. tiphareth means beauty, and to it is assigned the sphere of the sun. when the gods of the various pagan pantheons are being correlated with the spheres on the tree, it will be found that the sacrificed gods invariably come on to tiphareth, and for this reason it has been called the chris

and to it is assigned the sphere of the sun. when the gods of the various pagan pantheons are being correlated with the spheres on the tree, it will be found that the sacrificed gods invariably come on to tiphareth, and for this reason it has been called the christcentre in the christian qahalah. mystical qabala page 34 23. we now have sufficient material to make a survey of the second triangle. jupiter, the beneficent ruler and lawgiver, is balanced by mars the warrior, the fiery and destructive force, and the two are equilibrated in tiphareth, the redeemer. in the supernal triangle we see the primary sephirah emanating a pair of opposites which express the two sides of its nature, chokmah, force, and binab, form, masculine and feminine sephiroth respectively. in the second triangle we h

each other. 7. at the head of the pillar of severity, the negative, feminine pillar, is binah, the great mother. now to binah is assigned the sphere of saturn, and saturn is the giver of form. at the head of the pillar of mercy is chokmah, the supernal father, a male potency. thus we see that we have here the apposition of form and force. 8. in the second trinity we have the apposition of chesed (jupiter) and geburah (mars. again we have the pairs of opposites of construction in jupiter, the lawgiver and beneficent ruler, and destruction in mars, the warrior and destroyer of evil. it may be asked why such a male potency as geburah should be placed in the feminine pillar. it must be remembered that mars is a destructive potency, one of the infortunes in astrology. the positive builds up, th

d. 21. the two flanking pillars of severity and mercy can be seen as representing the positive and negative principles- and their respective sephiroth as representing the modes of functioning of these forces upon the different levels. 22. the pillar of severity contains binah, geburah, and hod, or saturn, mars, and mercury. the pillar of mercy contains chokmah, chesed, and netzach, or the zodiac, jupiter, and venus. chokmah and binab, in the symbolism of the qabalah, are represented by male and female figures and are the supernal father and mother, or in mystical qabala page 56 more philosophical language, the positive and negative principles of the universe, the yin and the yang, of which maleness and femaleness are but specialised aspects. 23. chesed (jupiter) and geburah (mars) are both

he throne of binah-matter has its root in binah-saturn death; form is the destroyer of force. with this passive destroyer goes also the active destroyer, and we find marsgeburah immediately below it on the pillar of severity; thus is the force locked up in form set free by the destructive influence of mars, the siva aspect of the godhead. chokmah, the zodiac, represents kinetic force; and chesed, jupiter, the benign king, represents organised force; and the two are synthesised in tiphareth, the christ-centre, the redeemer and equilibrator. 24. the next trinity, of netzach, hod, and yesod, represents the magical and astral side of things. netzach (venus [page 84] represents the higher aspects of the elemental forces, the green ray; and hod (mercury) represents the mind side of magic. the on

s body was the "bread of life" and his blood was the "wine from the tree of life" of which to partake was life eternal. the cross, as in earlier religions, represented completeness of life. the jambu tree, the buddhist god-tree, is in the shape of a cross.[14 [13] essays on symbolism, p. 74 [14] wilford, asiatic researches. among the kelti a tall oak was not only a symbol of the deity, but it was jupiter himself, while the earth from which it sprang was the great mother. throughout europe, in all ages, the oak has received divine honors. the fact that under its branches jew, pagan, and christian alike swore their most solemn oaths, shows that its veneration was not confined to any particular nation or locality. the sacredness of the oak among the druids is well attested by all writers who

JESSUP MK THE CASE FOR THE UFO

s. lights have been seen in space, some of them near mercury, venus, mars, and the moon, and some between us and those orbs, so that they might be on their surfaces. in the case of the moon, lights have been seen on the surface. there have been shadows on the moon and on the earth which could have been cast only by manipulated space contrivances. the advent of the great comets and the red spot on jupiter in the late 1870's was coincident with the mysterious appearance of a new crater on the moon precisely the size of the ufo's seen by astronomers between the earth and the moon. the astronomers have seen two distinct classes of objects: the spherical, definitely outlined ones, and the hazy, nebulous ones. both have appeared to undergo intelligent manipulation and exhibit erratic motions. in

re the domiciles of the small-fry discs, spheres, 37 balls of light, etc, which are so frequently seen in proximity to the earth's surface and to our planes, rockets, air fields and cities. it is my belief that these constructions are few in number, not many (there is some possibility, in fact, that there may be only two of them) and that they do not come from distant planets such as venus, mars, jupiter or the vastly more distant stars. it is my belief that they are usually globular, sometime spindlelike, and that they are an indigenous part of earth-moon binary-planet system. i make this statement on the basis of hundreds of astronomical observations in which the rough determinations of parallax can be made. parallax shows these objects to be somewhere between a few hundred miles away an

odicity could be firmly established for these phenomena, that fact alone would be proof of their reality and integration with the organic world about us. the rush of oddities and unusual events in the decade 1877 to 1887 is very much in evidence. perhaps it does seem to be drawing the long bow a bit if one tries to make out that the presence of the great comets, or the activity of the red spot on jupiter, were influential in causing such events, but that all of these were concomitant is undeniable. if space life is limited to the earth-moon system, there is probably no common cause, but it must, however, be borne in mind. of greater pertinence is the observed and authenticated activity on the lunar surface during those and the immediately preceding years. not only were there appearances an

druidism. according to artemidorus, ceres and persephone were worshiped on an island close to britain with rites and ceremonies similar to those of samothrace. there is no doubt that the druidic pantheon includes a large number of greek and roman deities. this greatly amazed c sar during his conquest of britain and gaul, and caused him to affirm that these tribes adored mercury, apollo, mars, and jupiter, in a manner similar to that of the latin countries. it is almost certain that the druidic mysteries were not indigenous to britain or gaul, but migrated from one of the more ancient civilizations. the school of the druids was divided into three distinct parts, and the secret teachings embodied therein are practically the same as the mysteries concealed under the allegories of blue lodge m

being torn to pieces by the titans. these giants accomplished the destruction of bacchus by causing him to become fascinated by his own image in a mirror. after dismembering him, the titans first boiled the pieces in water and afterwards roasted them. pallas rescued the heart of the murdered god, and by this precaution bacchus (dionysos) was enabled to spring forth again in all his former glory. jupiter, the demiurgus, beholding the crime of the titans, hurled his thunderbolts and slew them, burning their bodies to ashes with heavenly fire. our of the ashes of the titans--which also contained a portion of the flesh of bacchus, whose body they had partly devoured--the human race was created. thus the mundane life of every man was said to contain a portion of the bacchic life. for this reas

s when the rays of the heavens make people aggressive, this is the time when the magician seeks to cause strife; when the rays from he stars suggests a time of peace, the magician seeks to induce favors and garner friendships. mostly, magicians concern themselves with the celestial effects brought on by the 7 magical--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 52 planets (the moon, the sun, mars, venus, jupiter, saturn, and mercury. each of these planets produce certain effects that rise and fall as the days and months go by. the magician always flows with the trends, but these trends are no mere machinations of popular culture, but celestial trends. astrology, as it is popularly known today, is the use of heavenly bodies to track current and future trends. astrology is based on the principle tha

mistake of thinking about the results of a magical act in sharply contrasted terms like succeed and failure. in truth, magic exists in a constant shade of grey, where it is not a matter of whether the spell worked, but simply a matter of to what degree did it succeed. for instance, if someone desired to have a bit more extra cash in their pocket, they may create a magical talisman for the planet jupiter, because jupiter rules over luck and growth. a talisman is an object that has been energized by a certain type of energy or spirit, and these energies have been charged with a particular duty. in this case, the talisman has been energized with the force of jupiter and has been charged with the duty of bringing extra money to the magician. then the talisman is consecrated, and it is during

invisible, yet so strong that it could not be broken. this he fastened to the bedposts and rafters in the bedroom. when aphrodite and ares next went to bed, the net was released and bound them so tightly that they were unable to escape. hephaestus then invited all the gods to come and laugh at the trapped lovers. poseidon (neptune, hermes (mercury, and helios came. hephaestus demanded that zeus (jupiter) should repay him all the gifts he had made in order to win aphrodite s hand, but in the end settled for a fine to be paid by ares. amid much laughter, poseidon offered to stand surety for the debt, and so the lovers were freed. golden goddess aphrodite is called golden by the poet hesiod. she is also called laughter-loving, although here the joke is on her. imp of desire some sources say

this permission, not as from a covetous man, but easily, as from a god, prometheus himself sacrifices two bulls. when he had first placed their entrails on the altar, he put the remaining flesh of the two bulls in one heap, covering it with an oxhide. whatever bones there were he covered with the other skin and put it down between them, offering jove [zeus] the choice of either part for himself. jupiter, although he didn t act with divine forethought, nor as a god who ought to foresee everything, was deceived by prometheus sine we have started to believe the tale! and thinking each part was a bull, shoe the bones fo r his half. and so after this, in solemn rites and sacrifices, when the flesh of victims has been consumed, they burn with fire the remaining parts which are the gods. but, to

in a fennel-stalk he came joyfully, seeming to fly, not to run, tossing the stalk so that the air shut in with its vapours should not put out the flame in so narrow a space. up to this time, then, men who bring good news usually come with speed. in the rivalry of the games they also make it a practice for the runners to run, shaking torches after the manner of prometheus. in return for this deed, jupiter, to confer a like favour on men, gave a woman to them, fashioned by vulcanus [hephaistos, and endowed with all kinds of gifts by the will of the gods. for this reason she was called pandora. but prometheus he bound with an iron chain to a mountain in scythia named caucasus for thirty thousand years, as aeschylus, writer of tragedies, says. then, too, he sent an eagle to him to eat out his

les of this seven-fold division of talismans may be found in the greater key of solomon, from which i quote as follows: in the days and hours of saturn, thou canst perform experiments to cause good or ill success to business, possessions, goods, seeds, fruits and similar things, in order to acquire learning; to bring destruction and give death, and to sow hatred and discord. the days and hours of jupiter are proper for obtaining honours, acquiring riches; contracting friendships, preserving health; and arriving at all that thou canst desire. in the days and hours of mars thou canst make experiments regarding war; to arrive at military honour; to acquire courage; to overthrow enemies; and further to cause ruin, slaughter, cruelty, discord; to wound and to give death. the days and hours of t
