ophetic messenger. the first issue appeared in 1827 under his pen name and carried the ephemeris (chart of daily planetary positions) that was to become so identified with him. smith edited the prophetic messenger annually for the rest of his life. it was widely read and the ephemeris used by an increasing number of astrologers. following smith s death on february 26, 1832, in london, his work as raphael would be continued by a series of astrologers who successively inherited the title. eventually, raphael s ephemeris would be issued as a separate volume and become the standard text consulted by both british and american astrologers for the construction of their clients horoscopes. the ephemeris was unique in introducing in its table of houses the system of house division developed by the

revealed. the egyptians sculptured a sphinx on their temples to show that the mysteries of their religion must be guarded under a veil of silence.3 the cabala of the hebrews contains mysteries handed on under a seal of silence.4 sometimes he comes near to revealing a secret: and if it is permissible, under the veil of enigma, to mention in public something of the most secret mysteries. we invoke raphael, the celestial doctor that he may liberate us with ethics and dialectics, like a salutary physician. in us, now restored to good health, will dwell gabriel, the force of the lord, who leading us through the miracles of nature and showing us where dwell the virtue and power of god, will present us to michael, the high priest, who, after our service to philosophy, will crown us, as with a cr

ctics, like a salutary physician. in us, now restored to good health, will dwell gabriel, the force of the lord, who leading us through the miracles of nature and showing us where dwell the virtue and power of god, will present us to michael, the high priest, who, after our service to philosophy, will crown us, as with a crown of precious stones, with the priesthood of theology.5 how do we invoke raphael, gabriel, and michael, so that they dwell in us with all their powers and knowledge? do we perhaps know their secret names and numbers? is there a secret of practical cabala at the core of this lofty mystical aspiration? the praise of magic and of man as magus in the oration is couched in general rhetorical terms, and only hints at the secrets of magical procedures. but it is certainly in

nd cabalist magic the magic of a highly artistic nature, heightening the artistic perceptions with magical procedures. the same is probably true of pico's use of practical cabala, that it was mainly a subjective use of cabalist magic by a deeply religious and artistic nature. in what forms perhaps more sublimely beautiful in his imagination than even the angelic forms painted by a botticelli or a raphael did raphael, gabriel, and michael come to dwell with pico della mirandola? and perhaps it is also chiefly in this imaginative and artistic sense that we should understand the influence of the renaissance magic of the type inaugurated by ficino and pico. the operative magi of the renaissance were the artists, and it was a donatello or a michelangelo who knew how to infuse the divine life in

gnostic heresy that man was once, and can become again through his intellect, the reflection of the divine mens, a divine being. the final revaluation of the magician in the renaissance is that he becomes a divine man. once again one is reminded of a parallel with the creative artists for this was the epithet which their contemporaries awarded to the great, of whom they often speak as the divine raphael, or the divine leonardo, or the divine michelangelo. ficino, as we saw from his apology, encountered difficulties from theologians because of his magic. since pico had been much bolder than ficino, his difficulties were much more serious, and the pico case became a theological cause celebre which was long remembered. the main facts of the story can be very briefly resumed as follows.3 owin

do. the second tree bears the fruit of eternal youth, that is a cure for the very passage of time and he who eats of it would be ageless. when the elohim were but mewling babes they were brought to the garden by adonai yahweh to eat of both fruits that grew upon the trees. but five of that ancient brood were of such age, in times so young, to remember any of that time: satanael, michael, gabriel, raphael, auriel; this is how i know of such arcane secrets. when the spawn of gog and magog threatened also to gain the garden adonai yahweh gave instruction to his children to make war upon the race of giants 140 that they would not eat of those fruits and oppose and rival the power of his nation. thus the giants were destroyed before the prize was won. now for the same prize we must play and, if

agitated air made tumultuous by the racing form hurtling to the distant northern peaks where anxious shedim watched for some signal of triumph or of loss. in that dusty wake went ishtar with my witless form across her shoulders, making what speed she could with what strength she had to bear her and me from that perilous garden, well scrutinised by heaven's watch. now, on flaming wings, descended raphael resplendent in his shining arms: upon his brow, bedecked with tousles of gold hair, a princely crown of gold beset with jewels, ruby, purple amethyst and red amber, shaped into winding vines, ivy-leafed; 153 about his shoulders, a robe of silk, dyed with deepest purple, trimmed with gold and hemmed with a peacock's eyes; his limbs and body made glorious within gold-leafed steel, forged int

ere so foreign to his sight yet awakened such fear in his soul, his keen eyes perceived within the shadows of the trees, dark shapes moving here and there, wolves and tigresses fierce, savage guardians that stood watch over the forms that slept beneath the leafy roof of the forest, bound to such duty by shedim spell, woven by baalzebub and ishtar before they made flight. 154 now to the river went raphael and at its bank, before the water, sat and cast certain sorceries upon the waves that in the waters of the brook were seen the night's testament to the deeds that shedim wrought within the valley's confines and all was known to raphael and he was afraid. now, on flaming wings, ascending he made his own speed to high heaven's gates and, there passing its towers that watched the approach thi

e eyes of that fierce image, before which the hosts at his command fell down in supplication to his majesty. now with resounding, thunderous voice he dictated his commandment and his will, instructing his elohim knights in that course upon which his mind had been resolved by which to best thwart my own device. now he spoke these words unto heaven's assembled hosts, commanding with majestic voice "raphael, fond son, most sadly have i heard your testament and that sore doom that it does threaten. most bitterly do my ears receive such knowledge, such baneful tidings, to know that once more my rebel son, though son no more is he to me, moves against his rightful king. also have i listened to your counsel, rash, war-like raphael, and considered its many merits. yet, even in considering what you

from the clerical universities to secular courts and academies. the medieval-era emphasis on logic and metaphysics gave way to revived classical learning in areas such as language, literature, history, and ethics. the renaissance began in italy due to its strong ties with classical knowledge, and due to the comparative wealth of the major italian cities. the popes also patronized artists such as raphael and michelangelo. among the other masters of the italian renaissance were botticelli and da vinci. from 1450 to 1600 a neoplatonic movement backed by one of the florentine medicis gained considerable influence. plato's works were translated into latin by 1469. classification: v2- 102- 9 author: michael a. aquino vi date: october 1, xix revision: january 1, xxiv html revision: oct 13, 1997

e great race had become decimate in number. legions of the creatures of heaven had perished in battle, and half the remainder had turned from heaven to answer the call of lucifer. and all heaven was hushed with grief, for the force of the disaster was all the greater for that reign of peace which it had shattered. finally did masleh convoke the faithful archangels, and they were michael, gabriel, raphael, and uriel. and to them he said, we have vanquished lucifer, and heaven is again purified. we ourselves are fewer in number to tragic degree, but the majesty of god is undiminished for that. behold, i who have triumphed over the great enemy am now become messiah, the chosen of god. and he was answered by them, verily art thou the very son of god, for in thee hath the will of god become per

the power of the church extended its control of the arts, as the governments do with the media in modern times, painters such as leornado da vinci explored philosophies of heresy and mysticism, sciences liberal and otherwise. to keen and unconditioned eyes there are numerous signs of profound magical humour in their works, hidden in plain view. the archangels named in the bible (gabriel, michael, raphael) were mentioned in the seventh century onwards in the litany of the saints, although it was only as late as the last century that benedict xv made the feast of the last two obligatory. the names of the other angels were deemed apocryphal. the book of enoch adds uriel, raguel, saraqael and haniel to the list of archangels. in the mid-eighth century a frankish priest named adalbert was conde

SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTON ZANONI A ROSICRUCIAN TALE

colouring was hard and shallow, as was that generally of the french school at the time, his drawings were admirable for symmetry, simple elegance, and classic vigour; at the same time they unquestionably wanted ideal grace. he was fond of selecting subjects from roman history, rather than from the copious world of grecian beauty, or those still more sublime stories of scriptural record from which raphael and michael angelo borrowed their inspirations. his grandeur was that not of gods and saints, but mortals. his delineation of beauty was that which the eye cannot blame and the soul does not acknowledge. in a word, as it was said of dionysius, he was an anthropographos, or painter of men. it was also a notable contradiction in this person, who was addicted to the most extravagant excesses

st thou soar heavenward on its joyous wing? cast off the earthly burden of the real; high from this cramped and dungeoned being, spring into the realm of the ideal. as some injudicious master lowers and vitiates the taste of the student by fixing his attention to what he falsely calls the natural, but which, in reality, is the commonplace, and understands not that beauty in art is created by what raphael so well describes, namely, the idea of beauty in the painter's own mind; and that in every art, whether its plastic expression be found in words or marble, colours or sounds, the servile imitation of nature is the work of journeymen and tyros, so in conduct the man of the world vitiates and lowers the bold enthusiasm of loftier natures by the perpetual reduction of whatever is generous and

that the loftiest order of art, selecting only the loftiest combinations, is the perpetual struggle of humanity to approach the gods. the great painter, as the great author, embodies what is possible to man, it is true, but what is not common to mankind. there is truth in hamlet; in macbeth, and his witches; in desdemona; in othello; in prospero, and in caliban; there is truth in the cartoons of raphael; there is truth in the apollo, the antinous, and the laocoon. but you do not meet the originals of the words, the cartoons, or the marble, in oxford street or st. james's. all these, to return to raphael, are the creatures of the idea in the artist's mind. this idea is not inborn, it has come from an intense study. but that study has been of the ideal that can be raised from the positive a

to the heaven, but through all that is most wild and fantastic upon earth; a sorcery, not of the starry magian, but of the gloomy wizard, a man of romance whose heart beat strongly, griping art with a hand of iron, and forcing it to idealise the scenes of his actual life. before this powerful will, glyndon drew back more awed and admiring than before the calmer beauty which rose from the soul of raphael, like venus from the deep. and now, as awaking from his reverie, he stood opposite to that wild and magnificent gloom of nature which frowned on him from the canvas, the very leaves on those gnome-like, distorted trees seemed to rustle sibylline secrets in his ear. those rugged and sombre apennines, the cataract that dashed between, suited, more than the actual scenes would have done, the

atchtowers may be placed upon the table, the upper left quadrant belongs to the east, the upper right quadrant to the south, the lower right quadrant to the west, and the lower left quadrant to the north. it is vital to understand that the orientation of the great table to the compass points does not change, however the watchtowers may be shifted around upon it. therefore, on the revised table of raphael, the watchtower of or0 ibah aozpi is of the east, the watchtower of mph arsl gaiol is of the south, the watchtower of oip teaa pdoce is of the west, and the watchtower of mor dial hctga is of the north. once this is established, it is up to the magician to determine which elements will be linked with which directions of space. remember, the watchtowers were linked by dee primarily with the

elements, contrary to the golden dawn practice. for weeks i debated with myself which of the two versions of the great table given by dee is correct. i was not really happy with either version, but could not decide between them. in the course of writing the introduction to enochian mandalas by gerald and betty schueler, it suddenly struck me that both the original table and the reformed table of raphael place the watchtowers in the wrong quadrants. with utter clarity i realized what the true structure of the great table must be. the basis for this insight is the way in which the enochian angels communicated information about the watchtowers to dee and kelley. invariably the symbols of the watchtowers are transmitted in a circle around the earth, beginning in the east, then proceeding to t

pattern of the original great table is adhered to by dee. for a more detailed analysis of how the great table was revealed through a series of progressive stages to dee and kelley, i urge the reader to consult my introduction to enochian mandalas. here i will give what i consider to be the definitive form of the restored great table. i have preferred the spelling variations found in the table of raphael, but the placement of the watchtowers is original. some of the letters on the great table are capitals. a few are even inverted left to right. on the diagrams, these inverted letters are indicated by asterisks. the capitals begin the names of ninety-two geographical spirits which rule over various regions of the earth (see casaubon, pages 141-52 and james, pages 103-16. for some reason the

end of each sigil show the direction in which the corresponding letters on the table are to be read. the sigils are numbered from one to ninety- two. it is an easy matter to discover the spelling of each name by tracing the letters on the restored table which its sigil touches. both the original spelling of these spirit names and the reformed spelling that is extracted from the reformed table of raphael are given below, along with the geographical regions ruled by the spirits, and the aethers under which the spirits fall. tetragrammaton sigils of the geographical spirits on the great table the placement of these sigils corresponds with the restored great table, but they may be related to either the original table or the reformed table of raphael merely by shifting the watchtowers upon the

reat table found in dee's diaries (no less than five variations. the golden dawn simply collected all the different letters for each square of the table and wrote them into that square. this is a very poor solution to the problem, because many of these alternate letters were later crossed out by john dee. it seems only common sense to use the lettering of the corrected table supplied by the angel raphael, making what changes are necessary to harmonize the revised lettering with the names of the spirits. but can we trust raphael, or believe that the revised table is any more accurate than the original table? this is a problem that has no easy solution and must be wrestled with by each serious student of enochian magic. the name "watchtower" comes from a vision kelley experienced while lying

session. trying to give an original version of these tablets is something of an impossibility due to the ongoing debate among occultists. some versions do not allow the formation of the names of the governors of the aethyrs and their sigils. dee even had a numbex of different versions which were also corrected. the final version does not fit well either, although it was corrected by the archangel raphael. making changes using the raphael revised version to the various subsystems would be a monumental undertaking, an article written by christian wilby in adam mclean's prestigious hermetic journal (volume 30) discusses the four angelic tablets. in the article, mathers is attacked for putting all the letters on the tablets. i assume the author was talking about the regardie version, as mather
