rue from the standpoint of the modern astrologer. their existence has only been inferred or discovered within the last two or three centuries though it has always been known to the hierarchy. i have indicated to you the signs of which they are the rulers and the astrology of the future will accept my statement and work with these planets. much earlier in human history, they had to accept the fact of mars and mercury as rulers of zodiacal signs in a hypothetical manner, and then start to prove the accuracy of the hypothesis. ancient astrology was obviously incomplete but until man became patently responsive to the influences which come to him from uranus or pluto, for instance, which affect the soul life far more than they do the personality life, they remained undiscovered except by traine

d controls the physical vehicle. mars appears first of all as the orthodox ruler in aries, the sign in which the first move is made towards bringing about objective manifestation, or physical incarnation. in scorpio, the result of all the struggles carried forward during the seemingly endless pilgrimage around the zodiac or wheel of life is brought to a point of climax, again through the activity of mars which has not appeared actively in the intervening signs between aries and scorpio as far as the reversed wheel is concerned. the disciple has now to demonstrate the strength, character and quality which he has unfolded and developed within himself during his long pilgrimage. he started in aries with mars ruling, and the great war between the dualities which constitute the man began. the p

rough mars and the martian activity that the revelation comes about. secondly, mars is closely related to sex, which is an aspect of the pairs of opposites, and its effect is also definitely to vitalise the blood stream; it vitalises, purifies and stimulates all aspects and organisms in the body, via the blood stream. it will be obvious to you, therefore, how the tests in scorpio and the activity of mars are potent to arouse the entire lower nature and bring about its final rebellion and the last stand, so to speak, of the personality against the soul. it is mars who brings the world arjuna into the active fight. the whole man is then engaged and the "quarrel of the sexes" is resolved in its highest aspect through the battle between the highly developed personality or form nature and the s

into the active fight. the whole man is then engaged and the "quarrel of the sexes" is resolved in its highest aspect through the battle between the highly developed personality or form nature and the soul which seeks to be the ultimate controlling factor. the colour assigned to mars is, as you know, red and this is a correspondence to the colour of the blood stream and hence also the association of mars with passion, with anger and a sense of general opposition. the sense of duality is exceedingly powerful. hence also the necessity for the entire life of man (for the blood is the life in this sense) to be swung into the conflict, leaving no side of human nature uninvolved; hence again the need for the disciple to carry his physical nature, his emotional or desire nature and his mental pro

ir rights and natures are concerned; it has regarded the sex relation as one of the primary evils in the world and has laid the emphasis upon the inviolable nature of the marriage bond when endorsed by the church. this has all been the result of the beneficent or the malefic effect of the impact of sixth ray force upon the form nature. little emphasis has been laid nevertheless upon the influence of mars upon christianity, making it a definitely militant religion, oft cruel and sadistic (as witness the murders and tortures carried out in the name of christ, who was the outstanding representative of god's love. throughout the teaching of christian theology, the theme of blood runs ceaselessly and the source of salvation is laid upon the blood relationship and not upon the life aspect which

carry on after the originator of some work for the hierarchy passes over to the other side through death or relinquishes his task in order to take up other duties. the blood theme and the death theme, the suffering and the dire testing of the disciple, the value of the individual conflict and the consciousness of the misery of existence are basically due to the combined influences of scorpio and of mars which have ruled christianity for so long and which are only now beginning somewhat to lose their influence. a study of the processes of death as the sign scorpio conditions them and the processes of death as we see them working out in the sign pisces would be of very real value. death through the influences of pluto and death through the influences of mars are widely different. death in p

tism is waning and its day of power approaching. these subtler senses will supersede the physical senses over which mars has so long had a successful control, and hence again the growth in the world today of the psychic senses and the appearance on every hand of the subtler and more esoteric powers of clair-voyance and clair-audience. this development is inevitable as the influence of scorpio and of mars begins to lessen, as is the case today. the year 1945 saw- 129- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust this influence almost completely vanish, particularly from the astral plane. astrologers would do well to remember that the influence of the constellations, signs and planets, work out upon three levels of awareness three descending levels

r the intended result of the sex relation. father-spirit and mother-matter when brought together produce the son. the tests and difficulties and pains of this era are symptoms or indications of the "entering into manifestation" of the new civilisation and culture. they portend the birth of the new era for which the entire world waits. this will happen if speaking esoterically the sixth ray energy of mars is transmuted into the sixth ray energy of neptune, for the one is "objective and full of blood" and the other is "subjective and full of life" a great mystery is veiled and hidden in the above relationship, for cancer-neptune is expressive of the seventh ray which rules and controls the eighth creative hierarchy. this is one of the five hierarchies whose names are unknown to us and this p

hence the intense activity of saturn as we enter into the first decan of aquarius and hence the same activity because humanity itself now stands upon the probationary path. this, libra governs and controls, therefore the path of choices, of deliberately applied purificatory measures and the turning point before scorpio, which governs the path of discipleship, can properly play its part. the power of mars is lessened in libra; this is the sign of interlude and mars is temporarily quiescent, prior to gathering his forces for a renewed effort in scorpio or for the "quickening" of the spiritual life in virgo, according to which way the wheel is turning for the man. the sun "falls" in this sign because again neither the personality nor the soul dominates in the man who is a pure libran; a balan

for the lower form reactions. it is interesting to note that in scorpio, uranus is exalted which gives indication of the success of the task which the uranian forces undertook. achievement is attained. mars is in detriment in this sign. its activity adds constantly to the naturally warlike nature of taurus but the potency of the taurian struggle is so great, esoterically speaking, that the effect of mars is lost in the larger whole. it "adds to the glamour and confusion and yet holds within itself hope for the struggling man" constantly in this sign comes the emphasis upon struggle. it is a cosmic, planetary and individual struggle, for desire-will underlies the manifested activities of the logos, the planetary life and of man and also of all forms in nature. it is the struggle of that whi

y the third. you can note here, therefore, how the transmitting ray of our planetary logos is the first; and hence the place which the will plays in our human evolutionary process; his transforming ray is the second and that eventually brings transfiguration through the medium of the third and in this combination you have the reason why, in the evolution of the will aspect, you have the influence of mars and mercury the one bringing conflict and the death of the form and the other bringing illumination and the development of the intuition as a result of that conflict and death. new cycles of being and of consciousness are initiated by conflict. such seems as yet to be the law of life and the governing factor in evolution. if, however, the result of this initiating, energising will is to pr

the lower mind, but constructing and saving when coming from the soul. the exoteric ruler of this sign is mars, the god of war, and so hercules, acting under the right direction of thought and beginning his work on the mental plane, takes his stand as the warrior. his outstanding characteristic in this sign is the pioneering, militant spirit. the mares were in the possession of diomedes, the son of mars (but the esoteric ruler is mercury, which "illumines the mind and mediates between the soul and the personality) constellations in aries as is usual, there are three constellations connected with aries. first, there is cassiopeia, the enthroned queen, the symbol always of matter. it is most interesting to note how in the circle of the zodiac we come across three women. in connection with a

DAVID ICKE CHILDREN OF THE MATRIX

here is increasing acceptance that the earth has suffered some colossal geological upheavals. the debate (and often hostility) comes with the question of when and why. these upheavals have obviously involved the solar system as a whole because every planet shows evidence of some cataclysmic events, which have affected its surface, atmosphere, speed, and angle of orbit or rotation. the destruction of mars and its relationship with this devastation on earth is a subject occupying the minds of many researchers. there has been a much greater focus on mars since the various space probes have been directed there and, of course, their rather unfortunate record of being lost or suffering "technical problems, which prevent them sending pictures back to us. mmmm. these "failures" are the responsibil

is liable to come uppermost and swamp the [page 298] operation. there is a point in every magical operation when the negative aspect of the force comes up to be dealt with, and unless dealt with will lure the experimenter into the pit which he has digged. it is a sound magical maxim not to invoke any force unless you are equipped to deal with its averse aspect. 5. dare you invoke the fiery energy of mars (geburah) into your nature unless you have sufficiently purified and disciplined yourself to be sure that you can prevent the martian force from going to extremes and leading to cruelty and destructiveness? if you have any insight into human nature at all, you must be aware that everyone has the faults of his qualities-that is to say, if he is vigorous and energetic he is liable to fall in

turned towards the earth at the moment of the discovery of this planet. flammarion pointed out in mysterious psychic forces (1907) that the reasoning of the spirit is false. there is abundant evidence that it was really the north pole which was at that moment turned toward the sun and the earth. regarding another claim of drayson that a medium in 1859 disclosed the facts about the two satellites of mars 18 years before their discovery, flammarion stated that the claim must remain doubtful as it was not published at the time. furthermore, after kepler pointed out the probability of their existence, this subject was discussed several times, notably by dean swift and voltaire. of drayson s book thirty thousand years of the earth s past history, read by aid of the discovery of the second rota

a pregnant cow was sacrificed and the ashes of the unborn young were considered to be of special magical efficacy. even human sacrifice existed within historical times. after the battle of cann, the romans sought to divert misfortune by burying two greeks alive in the cattle-market, while in the time of julius c sar, two men were put to death with sacrificial solemnities by the pontiff and flamen of mars. again, in the time of cicero and horace, boys were killed for magical purposes. fire possessed great virtue and was held sacred in the worship of vesta, in early belief vesta being the fire itself; it presided over the family hearth; it restored purity and conferred protection. blood had the same quality and, smeared on the face of the god, symbolized and brought about the oneness of the

ll 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 that which we see as free masonry today is an attempt by the hierarchs of fire, the lucifer spirits, to bring us the imprisoned spirit 'light' that by it we may see and know. catholicism is an activity of the hierarchs of water, and places 'holy water' at the temple door to quench the spirits seeking

fast adherence to lofty purposes these people have raised themselves above the red ray and are now entirely imbued with the golden christ ray and its vibration. this spiritual fact has been embodied by mediaeval artists gifted with spiritual sight, in their pictures of saints whom they represent as surrounded by a golden aureole, indicating their emancipation from the power of the lucifer spirits of mars who are the fallen angels, as well as from jehovah and his angels, who belong to an earlier stage of evolution and are warders of national and race religions. the lucifer spirits find expression in the iron in our blood. iron is a mars metal, difficult to start into high vibration, so difficult that it takes many lives of great effort to change the product of its combustion to the golden c

d earth crustal displacements are thought to have taken place on other planets. in the december 1985 issue of scientific american, peter h. schultz drew attention to meteorite impact craters visible on the martian surface. craters in polar areas have a distinctive signature because the meteorites land amid the thick deposits of dust and ice that accumulate there. outside the present polar circles of mars, schultz found two other such areas: these zones are antipodal; they are on opposite faces of the planet. the deposits show many of the processes and characteristics of today s poles, but they lie near the present-day equator. what could have caused this effect? judging from the evidence, shultz put forward the theory that the mechanism appeared to have been the movement of the entire lith

weekdays were named after planets, the germanic peoples who undertook the translation seem to have relied on the roman gods whose names the planets bore and to have tried to equate those gods with their own. in the cases of the sun and the moon, the translation was obvious: sunday and monday. the other cases, however, were more difficult. dies martis, the day following gmoon-day, h bore the name of mars, god of war and battle. the germanic peoples equated him with *tiwaz, who was to become ty lr in scandinavia and tiw in england, whence tuesday. thus, although about all ty lr does in the extant mythology is lose his hand to the wolf fenrir (and provide the gods with a laugh when he does so, we can surmise that he derives from a warrior god of considerable importance. dies mercurii bore th

we can make guesses about the forms of the myths that might have attended the germanic gods, but the enterprise is difficult. still, when we bring into the picture the interpretatio germanica, which presumably occurred a few centuries after tacitus wrote, the presumed correspondences become fairly clear. in the interpretatio germanica odin is the equivalent of mercury, and ty lr is the equivalent of mars. hercules is not used in the interpretatio, but we must believe that thor was one of the principal deities of the germanic peoples, and, like thor, hercules was a renowned slayer of monsters. thus, tacitus tells us about just three gods, the same three who were pressed into service when the days of the week were translated. tacitus also tells us about one goddess, whom he calls isis, and i

MORALS AND DOGMA

nciple of good. typhon, like ahriman, was the principle and source of all that is evil in the moral and physical order. like the satan of gnosticism, he was confounded with matter. from egypt or persia the new platonists borrowed the idea, and the gnostics received it from them, that man, in his terrestrial career, is successively under the influence of the moon, of mercury, of venus, of the sun, of mars, of jupiter, and of saturn, until he finally reaches the elysian fields; an idea again symbolized in the seven seals. the jews of syria and judea were the direct precursors of gnosticism; and in their doctrines were ample oriental elements. these jews had had with the orient, at two different periods, intimate relations, familiarizing them with the doctrines of asia, and especially of chal

s, was that of saturn, and of lead, by the heavy nature whereof his dull slow progress was symbolized. the second, of tin, was that of venus, symbolizing her soft splendor and easy flexibility. the third, of brass, was that of jupiter, emblem of his solidity and dry nature. the fourth, of iron, was that of mercury, expressing his indefatigable activity and sagacity. the fifth, of copper, was that of mars, expressive of his inequalities and variable nature. the sixth, of silver, was that of the moon: and the seventh, of gold, that of the sun. this order is not the real order of these planets; but a mysterious one, like that of the days of the week consecrated to them, commencing with saturday, and _retrograding_ to sunday. it was dictated, celsus says, by certain harmonic relations, those o

is, rising and setting at the same time with it, was naturally used in its stead. hence the four famous figures in the sacred pictures of the jews and christians, and in royal arch masonry, of the lion, the ox, the man, and the eagle, the four creatures of the apocalypse, copied there from ezekiel, in whose reveries and rhapsodies they are seen revolving around blazing circles. the ram, domicile of mars, chief of the celestial soldiery and of the twelve signs, is the device of _gad, whom jacob characterizes as a warrior, chief of his army. cancer, in which are the stars termed _aselli, or little assess, is the device of the flag of _issachar, whom jacob compares to an ass. capricorn, of old represented with the tail of a fish, and called by astronomers the son of neptune, is the device of

he priests, and essentially religious, though in reality limiting the sacerdotal power, by teaching the intelligent laity the folly and absurdity of the creeds of the populace. they were therefore necessarily changed by the religious systems of the countries into which they were transplanted. in greece, they were the mysteries of ceres; in rome, of _bona dea, the good goddess; in gaul, the school of mars; in sicily, the academy of the sciences; among the hebrews, they partook of the rites and ceremonies of a religion which placed all the powers of government, and all the knowledge, in the hands of the priests and levites. the pagodas of india, the retreats of the magi of persia and chaldea, and the pyramids of egypt, were no longer the sources at which men drank in knowledge. each people

n modern usage the cross has been changed to an arrow -symbol of will that suggests the fiery aspect of the planet. it is the mixed essence of the malleable yet substantial earth and the blazing sun. mars represents recklessness and force and is the symbol of con- quest. because it is an inversion of the natural order, the earth over the sun, it is generally malefic. venus is the natural opposite of mars and is made up of the circle q over the cross. the elements are the same but here the life-giving energies predominate, and sun and earth are in their right order. the earth is the passive receiver of the rays of the solar orb that cause life to flourish. venus is love in its numerous forms. jupiter is the crescent over the cross-again, a natural order and 4 therefore a positive symbol. bu

o the moon and along its path are found the planets that contain the symbol of the sun, the circle. the reflected ascending bolt flies from the moon back to the sun, and on it are ordered the planets containing the lunar symbol of the crescent. mars, a masculine and fiery planet, will be located on the descending sigel on the right side of the hexagram because the right is active. venus, opposite of mars, feminine and receptive in nature, will also be located on the sun's descending sigel, but on the left (feminine) side of the hexagram. jupiter belongs to the moon's ascending sigel because it contains the symbol of the crescent. however, it is masculine in nature and belongs on the right side of the hexagram. saturn is feminine and is placed on the left side of the hexagram along the asce

are the higher emanations of the all. therefore, take care to use the hexagram only for noble and unselfish purposes. planetary forces are invoked by drawing a line of psychic fire from the planet's position on the hexagram in a clockwise direction. this line is to be repeated coun- terclockwise in the reflected triangle, beginning at the point directly opposite. for example, to invoke the powers of mars the upward-pointing triangle is drawn with the wand or index finger of the right hand in a fiery line in the air, beginning at the mars-point and proceeding clockwise, when the first triangle has been closed, the second downward-pointing triangle is drawn, beginning with the venus-point and proceeding counterclockwise back to its start. the triangles are drawn in opposite directions becaus

he right hand in a fiery line in the air, beginning at the mars-point and proceeding clockwise, when the first triangle has been closed, the second downward-pointing triangle is drawn, beginning with the venus-point and proceeding counterclockwise back to its start. the triangles are drawn in opposite directions because one is the mirror image of the other. when it is desired to summon the powers of mars, the clockwise motion draws them forth from beyond the veil. the following counterclockwise motion in the reflected triangle suppresses the powers of venus, which would oth- erwise have a damping effect on the action of mars. when it is desired to banish or neutralize a planetary force, the inverse motions are used. the counterclockwise motion on the triangle of the planet in question supp

un- terclockwise, also beginning and ending at the planet. the heptagram is more use- ful for physical magic than the hexagram because the heptagram is dynamic and active, whereas the hexagram is balanced and to some extent static. traditionally the magic under a particular planet was done in the hour and day of that planet-works of destruction were undertaken, if possible, on tuesday in the hour of mars; works of love on friday in the hour of venus. magical hours were cal- culated by dividing the period between sunrise and sunset on any given day into twelve parts, each with the same number of minutes. these divisions formed the magic hours of the day. the magic hours of the night were derived in the same way by dividing into twelve equal parts the period between sunset and sunrise. the f

e parts, each with the same number of minutes. these divisions formed the magic hours of the day. the magic hours of the night were derived in the same way by dividing into twelve equal parts the period between sunset and sunrise. the first hour of each daily cycle is the hour of the planet that belongs to that particular day of the week. for example, the first magical hour of tuesday is the hour of mars, which begins at sunrise. it is important to note that the magical day does not begin at midnight, but at sunrise, and continues until the following sunrise. the planets are assigned to the hours, as the great renaissance magus cor- nelius agrippa put it "according to the order of their successions,"ll which is the same order they are written in a circle clockwise around the points of the

s prepared for such an eventuality. in evocation the spirit is kept outside the circle, at arm's length, where it cannot do harm. during invocation there is always the danger that the personality of the magus will be transformed by the invoked spirit in dangerous or destructive ways without the magus ever becoming aware of the change. early in his development the author tried to invoke the powers of mars through geburah. seemingly the working was a failure. he abolished the circle and left the ritual chamber in disappointment. later that day he found himself in a constant state of suppressed fury. several times he almost flew into violent, uncon- trollable rages over insignificant incidents, and it was only with the greatest diffi- culty that he restrained himself. all at once he realized

o extract from it the name of the spirit. a short phrase descriptive of the qualities of the spirit is composed. the example might yield something like "great roaring angel with flaming wings" each of the main words in the description must name one of the primary charac- teristics of the spirit. the number of words should be significant. great-roaring- angel-flaming-wings is five words-the number of mars and geburah. the magus takes the first letter from each word and combines them to make a name. this process is kabbalistic and is called notariqon. the name agla, which is a name of god, is assembled by notariqon from the hebrew phrase "thou art mighty forever, 0 lord" however, it is totally unnecessary to involve a foreign lan- guage. a letter is a letter. the powers of the english alphab

y seals and squares engraved in the talisman dedicated to the mythic figure represented by the planet, e. g, mercury (number eight) or mars (number five. the mars square has twenty-five cells (5x5, and the sum of any row equals sixtyfive. the "theosophic extension" of the square is the addition of all the numbers from one through sixty-five, which in this case is 325. these are the sacred numbers of mars. according to john michell, who has done perhaps the most comprehensive modern analysis of ancient sacred sites in his many excellent works, magical squares were regarded as "numerical illustrations of cosmic laws. every (ancient) structure was laid out according to one of the patterns which magic squares reveal (1969, p. 110. we will look briefly at some illustrations of this idea in late

on, and draw boundaries around the other elements that it may attract. we refine this by adding more layers of symbolic meaning to the talisman to help clarify our intent and purpose. for example, the symbol of a triangle may mean fire or it may mean a trinity. if we add the name michael in hebrew we clarify our purpose by calling on the fiery energy of michael; or if we include a planetary sigil of mars, it will be a different kind of fiery energy. but if we add other images and god-names which identify it as trinity, or as representing binah on the tree of life, then the image of the triangle changes in psychic structure because we design it in accordance with specific conscious intention. it can't be emphasized enough that it is important to develop a working language with the subconsci

correct versions are given here (in some cases two versions, if the kamea is radically different) in the separate sections dealing with each kamea. the unorthodox kameas are what i call anomalies. they are rearrangements of the numbers which are not the same as those given by cornelius agrippa1, but which are nonetheless correct numerically. some of these anomalies are found in paul case's kameas of mars and the sun, and in others that i, along with some of my colleagues, have developed. there are numerous ways to set up kameas, which are still perfectly correct because the numerical pattern explained above is consistent. the original mistakes found in barrett were probably not blinds; they in no way affect the drawing of the sigil. rather, they probably resulted from barrett's somewhat li

rs in any two cells that are equidistant from the center always add up to twenty-six, which is the number of ihvh, tetragrammaton. there are twelve sets of these pairs and they represent the positive and negative aspects of the signs of the zodiac, balanced by the unifying point at the center. this is reflected in the phrase "together in unity" which equals sixty-five, the magic sum of the square of mars. the first principle number relating to mars is five, which is geburah on the tree of life. this is the special seat of will power on the tree and its principle divine name elohim gibor, means god of strength. to mars is attributed the letter peh and also heh (5, to which is assigned aries, and the emperor. this path is called the "constituting intelligence" five is also the numeration of
