DIABOLUS

the middle eastern origins of satan25 provides a powerful study of the foundation and survival of perhaps the original idea of the opposer. wilson describes adi ibn musafir who is also known as shaykh adi, who was originally from lebanon. the shaykh traveled to baghdad and studied along other well known sufis. later on after 1100 a.d. adi traveled to lalish (iraq) and founded a religion based on melek tauus, or malek ta us, the peacock angel. the yezidis as they were called were the descendants of adi, and were considered heretics and disbelievers by other fundamentalists in their area. the deity of worship, known as iblis of hallaj is the peacock angel, known as azazyl or shaitan, the adversary. in the black book, a doctrine considered written by shaykh adi, describes the foundation of a

sidered written by shaykh adi, describes the foundation of azazel as the black light or hidden way of the path against all others- in the beginning god created the white pearl out of his most precious essence; and he created a bird named anfar. and he placed the pearl upon its back, and dwelt thereon forty thousand years. on the first day, sunday, he created an angel named 'azazil, which is ta'us melek("the peacock angel, the chief of all. the black book it is presented here that ta us melek is the foundation of independent energy, motion and progression. in no mentioning of the black book is satan considered to be a negative force, rather a misunderstood power which can reside in each human being who can recognize what azazel is. 25 iblis, the the black light satanism in islam, published

m, published in gnosis magazine 23 then the lord descended to the holy land and commanded gabriel to take earth from the four corners of the world: earth, air, fire and water. he made it man, and endowed it with a soul by his power. then he commanded gabriel to place adam in paradise, where he might eat of the fruit of every green herb, only of wheat should he not eat. after a hundred years ta'us melek said to god "how shall adam increase and multiply, and where is his offspring" god said to him "into thy hand have i surrendered authority and administration. then he came and said to adam "hast thou eaten of the wheat" he answered "no, for god hath forbidden me so to do, and hath said 'thou shalt not eat of it. melek ta'us said to him "if you eat of it, all shall go better with thee. but, a

iply, and where is his offspring" god said to him "into thy hand have i surrendered authority and administration. then he came and said to adam "hast thou eaten of the wheat" he answered "no, for god hath forbidden me so to do, and hath said 'thou shalt not eat of it. melek ta'us said to him "if you eat of it, all shall go better with thee. but, after he had eaten, his belly swelled up, and ta'us melek drove him forth from paradise, and left him, and ascended into heaven. then adam suffered from the distention of his belly, because it had no outlet. but god sent a bird, which came and helped him, and made an outlet for it, and he was relieved. the black book this section provides a powerful symbolism which stretches beyond the predicament of constipation. while god created mankind, he only

paradise, and left him, and ascended into heaven. then adam suffered from the distention of his belly, because it had no outlet. but god sent a bird, which came and helped him, and made an outlet for it, and he was relieved. the black book this section provides a powerful symbolism which stretches beyond the predicament of constipation. while god created mankind, he only held limited facilities. melek ta us came unto adam and suggested that he eat of the sacred fruit. this wisdom as he offered would open adam s eyes to his own black light, the gift of iblis. it was azazel who by offering knowledge to adam and eve was by all accounts the opposer, the adversary who by aversion and a different point of view opened the mind and soul to the black flame of shaitan, that which is self-knowledge

hem without supports, and enclosed the earth. then he took the pen in his hands, and began to write down the names of all his creatures. from his essence and light he created six gods, whose creation was as one lighteth a lamp from another lamp. the black book while the foundations of iblis differ from culture to culture, there is a specific correlation of the essence of azazel, being fire. while melek ta us is the chief angel over all he is considered to be created of a higher intellect than the other angels. that by the essence of flame, of which motion is always present, the peacock angel does not remain the same. it is by this principle that he changes through us as we become something else. the key to this is the imagination itself. peter lamborn wilson made reference to a text by azi

re a secondary creation for it was his father who created him, which no other he may submit to. it is within the kitab el-jelwa that ta us malek or shaitan makes a statement concerning the nature of his path and being. this is by far one of the more hidden aspects which offer a clue as to the nature of the consistency of satan. 26 the perfect man, see the black light by wilson, gnosis magazine 24 melek ta'us existed before all creatures. he sent his servant into this world to warn and separate his chosen people from error: first by oral tradition, secondly by this by this book jilwa, which is not permitted to strangers to read or to look upon -the book of divine effulgence also known as kitab el-jelwa while this text refers to specifically his people as yezidi, in a modern context one coul

book provides a central idea as to the nature of the path itself it is separate, antinomian and isolate. that the path of iblis is one of inversion from the natural order of the objective world around us, it actually is a step away from the concepts of blending in with the spiritual normality of the herd. it is also to be noted that the opposer or adversary is the imagination of the illuminated, melek ta us and his chosen are but those who recognize the black light within. that by affirming this path, of antinomianism through the image of shaitan or satan, the individual via imagination becomes a child of melek ta us. i was, and am now, and will continue unto eternity, ruling over all creatures and ordering the affairs and deeds of those who are under my sway. i am presently at hand to su

f the hidden27 that you begin to ascend into the psychological state of lucifer, the adversary. the essence of shaitan is flame, and continual motion. to understand this beyond any coherent or sinister symbolism is the result of passing the test of appearance. the student of magick must be willing to trespass the laws of nature to discover the identity of the soul, the very gift of magick itself. melek ta us thus represents a metamorphic process of self-deification and self-overcoming. it is not an endless ego posturing, rather a means of recognizing the idea of self, the imagination to mutate it into something new and crystallize the very core essence of lucifer, that which is black light and fire. 27 called hell by some. 25 i guide without a scripture; i point the way by unseen means unt

arl accompanied by angels. he gave a great shout before the pearl, after which it split into four pieces. he made water flow from its inside, and that water became the sea. the world was round without clefts. then he created gabriel in the form of a bird, and committed to his hands the deposition of the four corners. after that he created a ship in which he rode thirty thousand years, after which melek taus came and lived among men in the city of l lish, where his temple remains to this day. he cried out in the world, and the sea coagulated, and the world became earth and they continued quivering. then he commanded gabriel to take two of the pieces of the white pearl, one of which he placed under the earth, while the other rested in the gate of heaven. then he placed in them the sun and th

ruit-bearing trees and plants in the earth, and likewise the mountains, to embellish the earth. he created the throne over the carpet. then said the mighty lord "o angels, i will create adam and eve, and will make them human beings, and from them two shall arise, out of the loins of adam, shehr ibn jebr; and from him shall arise a single people on the earth, the people of 'azazel, to wit of ta'us melek, which is the yezidi people. then i shall send sheikh 'adi b.musafir from the land of syria, and he shall come and dwell in lalesh. then the lord descended to the holy land and commanded gabriel to take earth from the four corners of the world: earth, air, fire and water. he made it man, and endowed it with a soul by his power. then he commanded gabriel to place adam in paradise, where he mi

RELIGIOUS TENANTS OF THE YEZIDI

al head of the yezeedees, who had come hither to join in the festivities. from what passed on this occasion we learned that much jealousy existed between him and sheikh n sir, on account of the greater influence which the latter seems to possess among the yezeedees. husein beg is but a stripling, and has three wives already; his father, it is said, had a new wife every week "having heard that the melek taoos [literally king peacock] was to be exhibited in the village, we made every effort to learn all particulars respecting it, and were informed by sheikh n sir, who, together with husein beg and many of the principal yezeedees dined with us this evening, that it would be brought in procession from ba-haz ni to ba-sheaka on the following day. accordingly we sallied forth hoping to get a sig

lt out to be drunk as a charm by the sick and afflicted. a fak r was in the room relating all the benefits that had been conferred on christians and mohammedans, as well as on yezeedees, by the contributions to the senjak, and calling upon all present to give liberally to the same object. the following is a sketch of the famous symbol which i committed to paper on my return home" thumb 12400 "the melek taoos of the yezeedees" p. 125 according to the theology of the yezeedees, melek taoos, of which the senjak is a type, is the principle or power from whom all evil proceeds, and their religious services seem to partake much more of a propitiatory than of an eucharistic character. in this respect, their system is in accordance with the natural feelings of man in his fallen state, which lead h

ention of satan, and the use of any word implying execration. thus, they will never pronounce the word "sheitan" the arabic for devil, nor "shat" a river, because of its resemblance to the former. neither will they use any part of the verb "laan" to curse, nor "naal, naalbend" a horse-shoe, a farrier, because the two latter have nearly the same sound, and all express the much dreaded attribute of melek taoos. their use of the scarlet anemone as a propitiatory charm or offering, has already been mentioned, and if this flower is chosen for its colour, we may see in it, as well as in the ochre with which the heathen in india daub their idols, a symbol of blood and sacrifice. what the particular rites are wherewith the yezeedees testify their veneration for the evil principle in their secret a

with a white cloth, underneath which is a plate to receive the subscriptions. at a given signal all rise up, each approaches the senjak, bows before it, and throws his contribution into the plate. on returning to his place, each worships the image several times, and strikes his breast, as if to propitiate the favour of the much dreaded principle. it will appear from the above, that the worship of melek taoos is much more common among the yezeedees than that of sheikh adi. i have frequently inquired the cause of this, and the answer has been, that the latter is so good that he needs not to be invoked, whereas the former is so bad, that he requires to be constantly propitiated. as these two principles seem to form the substance of their religious creed, there can be no doubt as to its origin

SATANIC RITUALS

omb, scissors, and mirror. the lion represented strength and dominion; the snake, procreation; the axe, potential for good or harm; the man, the god; and the comb, scissors and mirror represented pride. but greater as a symbol of pride, however, was the form taken by satan in the yezidi liturgy-the peacock. because they could not utter the name of satan (shaitan) for fear of persecution, the name melek taus (peacock king) was used. so great was the risk of outside persecution, that even words that sounded vaguely like the name satan were forbidden. the vestiges of yezidi culture that remain today have, as might be expected, met with not only maudlin "understanding" but, worse yet, attempts to whitewash the religion and deny that it was devil worship. after eight centuries of harming no one

t brotherhood since the knights templar, and in countless literary works. now, after the often tragic epic of the yezidis has become history, it is safe to pronounce the dread name. the statement of shaitan and wordless rite of dedication the rite begins one hour after sunset. the congregants enter the chamber and seat themselves on pillows placed on the floor in a semicircle facing the shrine of melek taus. the water runs over the rocks surrounding the sanjak and into a pool at their base. incense burns in braziers at each side of the shrine. the kawwals (musicians) stand against the rear wall of the temple, playing a prelude on flutes, drums, and tambourines (note: as emotional response is essential during certain segments of the rite, europeans and americans may require music of a modif

WOLFSON ELLIOT ALEF MEM TAU KABBALISTIC MUSINGS ON TIME TRUTH AND DEATH

n-difference i conclude this chapter with a brief excursus of a rather lengthy discourse on the kabbalistic meaning of time and eternity penned by dov baer schneersohn, the second master of the habad dynasty, as his explication pulls together many of 107 the themes examined here. the critical comment is in dov baer s interpretation of the rabbinic motto, king david shall live everlastingly (dawid melekh yisra el hai we-qayyam):267 this is the elevation of malkhut to the essence of the light of ein sof, malkhut of ein sof prior to the contraction [simsum. 268 the messianic proclamation of david s everlasting existence is interpreted theosophically as the ascent of malkhut to ein sof, a return to the state of affairs prior to the inceptual act of withdrawal that eventuated in the male androg

e eternal without cessation [nishi beli yufsaq, and this is [the intent of the expression at the end of the liturgical formula barukh shem kevod malkhuto] forever [le olam wa ed, in the eternality [nishiyyut] of ein sof, for it is itself verily the aspect and gradation above time, but it is garbed in time. and this is [the meaning of the rabbinic slogan] king david shall live everlastingly [dawid melekh yisra el hai we-qayyam, 108 chapter two eternally [le olam. and this is specifically in the future to come, as is known, as it is written in daniel, the ancient of days [atiq yomin] was sitting (dan 7:9) and then his kingdom will be an eternal kingdom [malkhuteih malkhut olam (ibid, 27. and this [is the intent of the claim that] barukh shem kevod malkhuto le olam wa ed is above the yhwh of

cealment (he elem) that reveals the light that cannot be revealed but through concealment.286 menahem mendel, the successor to dov baer, deftly delineated this feature of habad acosmism, reiterating almost verbatim the language of shneur zalman: the root of time comes to be only in the aspect of malkhut, for the aspect of malkhut has the aspect of he reigned, he reigns, and he shall reign [malakh melekh yimlokh. but above the aspect of malkhut time does not apply at all [lema alah mi-behinat malkhut ein shayyakh zeman kelal. in the midrash it says that this teaches that there was an order of time [seder zemannim] before this. 287 the intent is that [the locution] before this applies to this world, prior to this world s generation, but prior to the emanation of the supernal worlds even the

standpoint of the infinite. attaining this state of annihilation, turning yesh back to ayin, is the eschatological consciousness through which and in which time as the primordial pulse of creation is covertly revealed, openly concealed. according to the passage from dov baer cited above, the messianic moment, rhetorically expressed in the rabbinic slogan king david shall live everlastingly (dawid melekh yisra el hai we-qayyam) and in the liturgical formula blessed be the name of the glory of his kingdom forever (barukh shem kevod malkhuto le olam wa ed, is characterized as the elevation of malkhut to ein sof, but also as the illumination of malkhut by ein sof, two figurative ways of describing her restoration to the position she occupied within the boundless prior to the primal act of divi
