binds the magician for ever. in part ii of book 4 something has already been said on this subject; but its importance deserves some further elaboration. thus, should one, loving a woman, make a spell to compel her embraces, and tiring of her a little later, evoke zazel to kill her; he will find that the implications of his former oath conflict with those proper to invoke the unity of the godhead of saturn. zazel will refuse to obey him in the case of the woman whom he has sworn that he loves. to this some may object that, since all acts are magical, every man who loves a woman implicitly takes an 124 oath of love, and therefore would never be able to murder her later, as we find to be the not uncommon case. the explanation is as follows. it is perfectly true that when bill sykes desires t

wing the climax there should always be an unrehearsed ceremony, an impromptu. the most satisfactory form of this is the dance. in such ceremonies appropriate libations may be freely used. the rite of luna (equinox i. vi) is a good example of this use. here the climax is the music of the goddess, the assistants remaining in silent ecstasy. in the rite of jupiter the impromptu is the dance, in that of saturn long periods of silence. it will be noticed that in these rites poetry and music were largely employed- mostly published pieces by well-known authors and composers. it would be better<"perhaps! one can think of certain awful consequences "but, after all, they wouldn't seem so to the authors "but- pity the poor gods "bother the gods> to write and compose specially for the ceremony<

the astral plane must be accurate, for angels, archangels, and gods are derived therefrom by analysis. one must have pure materials if one wishes to brew pure beer. if one have an incomplete and incorrect view of the universe, how can one find out its laws? thus, original omission or error tends to extend to the higher planes. suppose a magician, invoking sol, were persuaded by a plausible spirit of saturn that he was the solar intelligence required, and bade him eschew human love if he would attain to the knowledge and conversation of his holy guardian angel; and suppose that his will, and that angel's nature, were such that the crux of their formula was lyrical exaltation! apart from the regular tests- made at the time- of the integrity of any spirit, the magician must make a careful rec

cosmic order, the essence of algol or the adversary, as well as death and regeneration. the demiurge saturnus is related to the number 666, being that of sorath, or the sun. satanas is this aspect is one form of the adversary, being rebellion, death and chaos from stasis. the very fire force of the sun is in the eye of satanas/saturnus, misrule and self-liberation through antinomianian awakening of saturn. the higher octave of saturn is lucifer, being light, wisdom and illumination. lucifer/iblis is the imagination thus azazel, the fallen djinn of fire. lucifer represents also rebirth, inner strength, reason and solitude. in the unity of saturn are both the star of algol[9] hidden (without the averse pentagram) and the mark of demiurge saturnus. it is through satan/iblis (fire) that one e

difference in the nature of the divine emanations and their relations to each other; for when we look at the glyph of the tree we readily perceive the relations existing between the different sephiroth, and see how they group, reflect, and react upon 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 ma

e spirit-vision or projecting by them on the astral plane. consequently the initiate is able to move with accuracy and certainty into whatsoever sphere of the unseen he desires to penetrate, and to countercheck ah beings he meets and all visions he sees, for he knows what the colours of the paths are in all four scales, and he checks his vision by these. if he is working up the thirty-second path of saturn, whose colours are all in the scmbre hues of indigo, dark blue and black, he knows that something is amiss if a scarlet-robed figure presents itself. either that figure is illusive, or he himself has wandered off the path. 18. to project the astral body along the paths it is necessary for many reasons to hold the degrees of initiation to which they correspond; chief among which is that

ptacle of the emanations; and it is from yesod that malkuth receives the influx of the divine forces. 14. yesod also is of supreme importance to the practical occultist, because it is the first sphere with which he makes acquaintance when he commences to "rise on the planes" and lifts consciousness above malkuth. having trodden the terrible thirty-second path of the tau or cross of suffering, and of saturn, he enters yesod, the treasure house of images, the sphere of maya, illusion. yesod, considered by itself, is unquestionably the sphere of illusion, because the treasure house of images is none other than the reflecting aether of the earth-sphere, and corresponds in the microcosm to the unconscious of the psychologists, filled with ancient and forgotten things, repressed since the childh

virgo and characters of virgo and mercury; and the decan image for the first face of virgo may be added "if this is to be used. this talisman would thus consist of the image of mercury, some signs and characters, and perhaps the virgo image with the child. note that the talisman is not a medical talisman, but to obtain intellectual "gifts" from mercury. to obtain long life, you may make the image of saturn on a sapphire in this form "an old man sitting on a high throne or on a dragon, with a hood of dark linen on his head, raising his hand above his head, holding a sickle or a fish, clothed in a dark robe" homo senex in altiore cathedra sedens uel dracone, caput tectus panno quodam lineo fusco, manus supra caput erigens, falcem manutenens aut pisces,fusca indutus ueste.2) this image is clo

nism of which della volpaia's clock is an example. 2 ficino, loc. cit. 75 ficino's natural magic influences on the inhabitants in such a way as to keep them healthy and virtuous, so ficino's "figures of the world" would be calculated to regulate the influences in the direction indicated in the libri de vita, towards a predominance of solar, jovial, and venereal influences and towards an avoidance of saturn and mars. the point in the description of the "figures of the world" to which i want to draw particular attention in view of later developments in this book is that these figures are not only to be looked at but reflected or remembered within. the man who stares at the figure of the world on his bedroom ceiling, imprinting it and its dominating colours of the planets on memory, when he c

, mechanics he can do marvellous things. we see to-day remains of ancient works, columns, pyramids, huge artificial mounds. such things were done by mathematical magic. as one acquires natural virtue by natural things, so by abstract things mathematical and celestial things one acquires celestial virtue, and images can be made which foretell the future, as that head of brass, formed at the rising of saturn.1 pythagoras said that numbers have more reality than natural things, hence the superiority of mathematical magic to natural magic.2 there follow chapters on the virtues of numbers and number groupings, beginning with one which is the principle and end of all things, which belongs to the supreme god. there is one sun. mankind arose from one adam and is redeemed in one christ.3 then come

sion of images in celestial magic,3 with long fists of such images, images for the planets, images for the signs, nor does agrippa fear actually to print the images of the thirty-six decan demons. first of all he explains the general principles of the making of talismans imprinted with celestial images. we need not go into this again and a few examples from his image-lists will suffice. one image of saturn is "a man with a stag's head, camel's feet, on a throne or on a dragon, with a sickle in the right hand, an arrow in the left."4 an image of sol is "a crowned king on a throne, a crow at his bosom, a globe under his feet, robed in yellow".5 an image of venus is "a girl with loose hair wearing long white robes, holding in the right hand a branch of laurel or an apple or a bunch of flowers

a white garment' the fearless bruno does not hesitate to inscribe on his memory the images of the egyptian decan demons. as e. garin has pointed out,2 bruno has taken the list, ascribed to teucer the babylonian, of the thirty-six decan images almost entirely from cornelius agrippa's de occulta philosophic then come forty-nine images of the planets, seven for each planet. for example: first image of saturn. a man with a stag's head, on a dragon, with an owl which is eating a snake in his right hand.4 bruno's planet images are close to those given by agrippa,5 though with some variations. next come twenty-eight images for the mansions of the moon, and one image of the draco lunae6; all these correspond very closely indeed to those given by agrippa.7 finally, bruno gives thirty-six images wh

ides; one harmony or consonance, one symphony of many voices, denoted by the lyre of apollo which is called the spirit of the universe.3 this sounds like a fairly normal statue of apollo, but its magical or talismanic nature is indicated by some of the ingredients, for instance the "one crow" which flies before his face, suggesting the talisman with a crow in it which ficino had used.4 the statue of saturn, or the beginning, is constructed on similar principles; he is the usual old man with a sickle; has a chariot drawn by stags as in the magic image of saturn used by bruno in the de umbris.5' ibid, pp. 53-4, 60. 2 see above, pp. 7 ff, 23 ff. 3 op. lat, i l l, pp. 63-8* see above, p. 71. 5 op. lat, i l l, pp. 68-73; s e e above, p. 196. 310 giordano bruno in germany among other statues are

go in england. and further, the application of the magical reform to the presentday situation is also perfectly apparent in the way the epithets are used in the de imaginum compositione, just as it is in the spaccio where the "pedants" of intolerance are overcome by the jovial, solar, and venereal reform. in the de imaginum compositione, the incantations of orpheus and arion overcome the miseries of saturn, which here have obvious reference to bad forms of religion, lamentation and wailing, torn out hair, dust and ashes sprinkled on the head, horrible squalor, mad tenacity.2 the evil mars' has reference to religious wars and persecution. and the "grammarian pedants" are represented by the bad side of mercury, whose splendid good sides are eloquence, refining culture, perverted by grammaria

s have only four each. the personality which has captured powers through these images will thus be mainly solar, jovial, and venereal, with only a little of martial or saturnian qualities. extraordinary and strange though this may seem, it is not really more strange than the methods taught by ficino in his de vita coelitus comparanda. ficino's object was to avoid melancholy and the bad influences of saturn and mars, by cultivating the good planets, sol, jupiter and venus. he did this by his mild little astral cults which involved the use of talismans, and he intended it as a medical therapy, to cure melancholy in students. nevertheless it was really more than this; it was, even with ficino, a kind of religion with a cult which he managed somehow or other to reconcile with his christian con

the sensuous element was to a certain extent already assuming dominion over the higher nature, and that priests were regarded as being incapable of self-control, is observed in the fact that in the later ages of female worship one of the principal requirements of a priest of cybele was castration. it is the opinion of grote that the story which appears in the hesiodic theogony, of the castration of saturn and uranus by their sons with sickles forged by the mother, was borrowed from the phrygians, or from the worship of the great mother. in india, the strictest chastity was prescribed to the priests of siva, a god which was worshipped as the destroyer or regenerator, and which in its earlier conception was the same as the great mother cybele. these priests were frequently obliged to offici

with correct passwords and codes can it pass each obstacle. when it confronts saturn the soul is truly tested, only if it is of the light kingdom will it be allowed to pass. if it fails, the soul plummets back through the planets and returns again to earth. since in many traditions saturn is also the demiurge, we can see a dual nature. saturn as guardian (in the static kingdom) and the dark half of saturn, existing below the abyss as the demiurge. the abyss is both a doorway and a seal, it tests and also destroys. the twenty two paths each of the ten sephira is connected to the others by a sequence of paths. while there are many different forms these paths take, the most accepted system is that shown in fig 24. each of these paths is attributed to a hebrew letter according to the kabbalis

n the earthly sabbat, even humans. there are generally 2 types of gatherings that are called sabbats; the celestial sabbat, and the infernal sabbat. even though sorcerers are always congregating in their astral bodies, there are 4 major meetings a year, and these meeting are called the sabbats. the celestial sabbat is a gathering of astral beings in a place called, and associated with, the sphere of saturn. it s also worth noting that shabbathai is saturn in hebrew; it is likely that the words sabbat and sabbath derive from the hebrew word shabbathai. further, jews and seventh-day adventists consider saturday, the day associated with saturn, to be the true day of sabbath, as opposed to most christians who worship on sunday. in truth, it is sunday, and the sun in general, which is more clos

all things were so divided. so stated the chaldean oracles. then there is the cardinal tenet of the golden dawn: there are always two contending forces, and a third which eternally reconciles them. thus, logically, a saturn talisman would be a superb characterological corrective to an over-balanced natal chart which stresses airy signs too much. the first step would be to collect all the symbols of saturn that would be available. the astrological symbol, the geomantic and geometric symbols, the hebrew letter, the appropriate divine names from the appropriate sephirah on the tree of life, etc. having collected them, think of some phrase, scriptural or otherwise, which correctly summates the idea involved stability. gradually experiment with one design after another, until you arrive at one

colors of the moon are white and black; the metal of the moon is silver, and silver is white when polished, but black when tarnished. the color of mercury is dark orange; the metal of mercury is metallic mercury, which oxidizes to a red powder called mercuric oxide. the reasoning behind the colors of the rest of the astrological planets is not so clear. if the same logic were followed, the color of saturn should be gray, since lead is the metal of saturn, and lead tarnishes to a gray color. however, the traditional color of saturn is said to be black because saturn rules over putrefaction. the tra- ditional color of jupiter, blue, has some thread of logic behind it. the metal of jupiter is tin, and since tin does not tarnish (tinfoil was used in ancient times as a backing for mirrors, and
