previous verse may say more about the defensive insecurity of crowley the man than the verses of liber al. in chapter i comment, remember that all this is a male mind trying to contemplate the revelations of a goddess. square peg and round hole problems may arise. i feel a certain necessity to explain that an 'avatar' implies rather a release from the limits of personality than anything else. the scarlet woman and i are peculiarly representative of nuit and hadit by virtue of our attainments in making our consciousness omniform as they re. it must not be supposed that our original individualities can claim any special prerogatives as such. al i,18 "burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent" the old comment 18. the serpent is the symbol of divinity and royalty. it is also a symbol of hadi

the uraeus, with the powers of life and death, wise, ecstatic, immortal; winged and hooded, that he may go as a god swiftly and silently. it refers in this place especially to hadit. al i,19 "o azure-lidded woman, bend upon them" the old comment 19. nuit herself will overshadow them. the new comment these two verses 18, 19, seem to be interpolated by aiwaz, invoking the gods to the beast and the scarlet woman, perhaps as a formal consecration. al i,20: the key of the rituals is in the secret word which i have given unto him. the old comment 20. this word is perhaps abrahadabra, the sacred word of 11 letters. the new comment for this word see appendix weh note: the appendix has not yet been recovered. kenneth grant, in his "magical and philosophical commentaries" pp. 105-108 has a lengthy

laughter is the vibration of all that exists, and the earthquakes of the soul. one is conscious of the whirring of the wheel thrilling one, like an electric discharge passing through one. 42 now i see the figures on the wheel, which have been interpreted as the sworded sphinx, hermanubis and typhon. and that is wrong. the rim of the wheel is a vivid emerald snake; in the centre of the wheel is a scarlet heart; and, impossible to explain as it is, the scarlet of the heart and the green of the snake are yet more vivid than the blinding white brilliance of the wheel. the figures on the wheel are darker than the wheel itself; in fact, they are stains upon the purity of the wheel, and for that reason, and because of the whirling of the wheel, i cannot see them. but at the top seems to be the l

rder by m. cancellarius may wear a lamen like that of hierophant, but of yellow on a purple field, and depending from a purple collar; and he may bear a sceptre surmounted by a hexagram of amber and gold. the sceptres of the chiefs should be of the same color as their mantles, with a gold band to represent trapt, being the first grade of the inner order. the sword of imperator should have a plain scarlet hilt with gold or brass mountings, while the sceptre of praemonstrator should be blue with a gold band. the proper seat of the chiefs is beside the hierophant. if desired, the imperator and cancellarius may be seated to the right and the praemonstrator and immediate past hierophant to his left; the cancellarius and immediate past hierophant being nearest to the hierophant on their respecti

xn and the black pillar in dwh. they represent the two pillars of mercy and severity. the bases are cubical and black to represent the l element in twklm. the columns are respectively black and white to represent the manifestation of the eternal balance of the scales of justice. upon them should be represented in counterchanged color any appropriate egyptian designs, emblematic of the soul. 5 the scarlet tetrahedronal capitals represent the o of test and trial, and between the pillars is the porchway of the region immeasurable. the twin lights which burn on their summits are "the declarers of the eternal truth" the bases of the tetrahedra, being triangular, points east on the white pillar, while that on the black pillar points west. thus, they complete the hexagram of trapt, though separat

placed in the east of the temple on the outer side of the veil of paroketh, to rule the temple under the presidency of the chiefs. there, he fills the place of a lord of the paths of the portal of the vault of the adepts, acting as as inductor to the sacred mysteries. the insignia and symbols of hierophant are: the throne of the east on the path of s, outside the veil. the mantle of bright, flame scarlet, bearing a white cross on the left breast. the lamen suspended from a white collar. the crown-headed sceptre. the banner of the east. the position of the throne on the path s is fitting for the "inductor to the mysteries" as there is placed in that balanced and central position that knowledge of the light in trapt. being placed before paroketh at the point of its rending marks the shining

ght in trapt. being placed before paroketh at the point of its rending marks the shining forth of the light through the veil, and the translation of the three supernals to the outer order, which is represented by the red calvary cross and the white triangle upon the altar. thus, the station of hierophant's throne fitly represents the rising of the sun of life and light upon our order. the robe of scarlet represents the flaming energy of the divine light, shining forth into infinite worlds. upon the left breast is a white cross to represent purification unto the light, and this cross may be one of the following forms: in which case it alludes either to the cross of six squares of trapt or to the cross of the rivers. the cross of the elements, to represent the descent of the divine and angel

he four lettered name hwhy in trapt. the cross of four arrowheads, representing the keen and swift impact of the light, coming from behind the veil through the elements symbolised by the arrow of i in the path s. it is indifferent which of the crosses be employed, seeing that each represents the operation of the light through the veil. the sceptre represents the forces of the middle pillar. it is scarlet with gold bands to represent the places of the sephiroth tud, trapt and dwsy, the pommel being twklm. the shaft represents the paths g, s and t. the grip by which it is wielded, by the path t, represents the universe governed by and attracting the forces of the light. the names of the sephiroth and paths are not marked thereon, but the hierophant initiate of the second order should remembe

vely in the russet and olive quarters of twklm. therefore, is he placed there as almighty and avenging guardian to the sacred mysteries. the symbols and insignia of hiereus are: the throne of the west in the black of twklm, where it borders on the kingdom of shells. the black robe of darkness, bearing a white cross on the left breast. the sword of strength and severity. the lamen suspended from a scarlet collar. the banner of the west. the position of the throne of the west at the limits of twklm is fitting for the avenger of the gods, for he is placed there in eternal affirmation against the evil ones "hitherto shall ye come and no further" the throne is also placed there as a seat of witness and of punishment decreed against evil. the robe or mantle is of darkness, threatening and terrib

outer, as concealing an avenging force ever ready to break forth against the evil ones. on the left breast is a white cross to represent the purification of matter unto the light. the sword represents the forces of the pillar of severity as a whole, but the places of the sephiroth are not necessarily indicated thereon. the guard is dwh and may be of brass, the grip is the path of c and may be of scarlet. the pommel, twklm, and may be black. the grip by which it is wielded, being the path c, represents the universe governed by the flaming force of severity and represents the hiereus as wielding the forces of divine severity "the sword of vengeance" is its name. the lamen is partially explained in the portal thus "the outer circle includes the four sephiroth, trapt, jxn, dwh, and dwsy, of w

second orders, while the white triangle established in the surrounding darkness is circumscribed in its turn by the circle of light" in addition to this explanation, the lamen represents "the light that shineth in the darkness though the darkness comprehendeth it not" it affirms the possibility of the redemption from evil and even that of evil itself through self sacrifice. it is suspended from a scarlet collar which represents its dependence on the force of divine severity for overpowering the evil. it is a symbol of tremendous strength and fortitude and is a synthesis of the office of the hiereus as in regards to the temple, as opposed to his office as in regards to the outer world. for these reasons, it should always be worn by the hiereus. the banner of the west completes the symbols o

le is again the light which shineth in the darkness but which is not comprehended thereby. therefore is the banner of the west the symbol of twilight, as it were, the equation of light and darkness. the pole and the base are black to represent that even in the depths of evil can that symbol stand. the cord is black, but the transverse bar and the lance point may be golden or brass and the tassels scarlet as in the case of the banner of the east, and for the same reasons. the banner of the west, when it changes its position in the temple, represents that which bars and threatens, and demands fresh sacrifice before the path leading to the higher be attained "avenger of the gods" is the name of the hiereus, and he is "horus in the abode of blindness unto, and ignorance of the higher" hoor is

the divine. upon the left breast is a cross, usually the calvary form, red to represent the energy of the lower will, purified and subjected to that which is the higher, and thus, is the office of hegemon especially that of the reconciler. the mitre-headed sceptre is the distinctive ensign of office of hegemon. on the tree of life, it represents the forces of the pillar of mercy. it should be of scarlet with gold bands and pommel. the bands represent the places of the sephiroth dsj and jxn, the shaft being formed by the paths w and k, the grip by which it is wielded being the path q, while the pommel is twklm. the mitre is gold with red mountings, and each point 11 terminates in a ball. the mitre is charged with a red calvary cross of six squares. this mitre represents the wisdom of hmkj

on the dais as hierophant, he is clothed in the god-form of osiris. he wears the tall white crown of the south flanked by feathers striped white and blue. his face is green, the eyes blue. from his chin hangs the royal beard of authority and judgment, blue in color and gold-tipped. he wears a collar in bands of red, blue, yellow, and black, and on his back is a bundle strapped across his chest by scarlet bands, he is in mummy wrappings to the feet, but his hands are free to hold a golden phoenix wand, a blue crook and red scourge. the hands are green. his feet rest on a pavement of black and white. the god-form of osiris never moves from the dais. when the hierophant has to move from the dais, he is covered by the form of osiris in action--aroueris, which is built up by the past hierophant

never the rays from arty two wheels met, there would be a blinding flash of light. an interesting feature was that although the wheel was seen in such minute detail, the overall impression was of a single, simple object. crowley saw the jovial god, jupiter, spinning the wheel as though it were a toy. another way of viewing this wheel is as if the rim were a huge emerald snake and in the center, a scarlet heart. this symbolism is the "heart girt with a serpent" found in many occult teachings including crowley's liber lxv. it is a form of the snake encircling the world with its tail locked in its mouth. yet another possible way of seeing this wheel is in the form of the wheel of fortune of atu x of the tarot. this path leads down from chesed through the veil of the temple unti l i t connects

MICHAEL WYNN THE SOUL TRAVELERS

canaanite god moloch, is in fact symbolic of lilith, who is babylon the great and the bride of lucifer. tiamat may also be symbolized by a red dragon, and is known as a devouring goddess. in the bible, lilith goes by the titles whore of babylon, mother of harlots, and babylon the great. this woman is depicted holding a golden cup and wearing many precious stones and robed in the colors purple and scarlet. scarlet is plain red with a slight hint of orange. the imagery commonly relates her as riding a scarlet beast. this woman is described--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 78 as drunk (intoxicated) from the blood of the saints. lilith being the mother of vampires, this is fitting. the whore of babylon is also related to a city or location. this city has had relations with all the rich men

n egyptian goddess who was among the most ancient of the gods, is also associated with both lilith and isis. sekhmet, is spoke of as just as much a weapon as a goddess. at the behest of the god ra, sekhmet almost destroyed all of humanity; she was unable to halt her bloodlust, and had to be tricked into desisting. she is symbolized by a lion headed woman, wearing red; she even has titles like the scarlet lady. in rome, lilith was known as diana. diana is a goddess of the hunt, the moon, and childbirth. she was also known as the virgin goddess. artemis, the greek equivalent of diana, is also a goddess of the hunt, childbirth, the moon and also known as the virgin goddess. artemis is also closely related to selene, yet another moon goddess. in hinduism, lilith goes by the name kali. kali is

r. it is obvious that it is a temptation for an aspirant's vanity to fancy himself as "the next beast' or herself as "the scarlet woman. there has been, in the last 65 years, a painful abundance of self- deluded disciples who fancied themselves as such. it must be stated here that either office is neither easy nor pleasing to anyone's ego, and that those who seriously aspire to become "beast" or "scarlet woman" are more to be laughed at than envied. robert heinlein has an amusing story about how the devil finally managed to dethrone god, and then, upon perceiving the responsibilities of ruler of the universe, cried in panic "but i don't want your job "so sorry, old boy, now you're stuck with it" god replied gleefully, and presumably went vacationing on the riviera. 17. but ye are not so ch

le is again the light which shineth in the darkness but which is not comprehended thereby. therefore, is the banner of the west the symbol of twilight- as it were the equation of light and darkness. the pole and the base are black to represent that even in the depths of evil can that symbol stand. the cord is black, but the transverse bar and the lance-point may be golden or brass and the tassels scarlet as in the case of the banner of the east, and for the same reasons. the banner of the west, when it changes its position in the temple, represents that which bars and threatens, and demands fresh sacrifice ere the path leading to the higher be attained. building the banners of the east and west the banners are a difficult craft project because of the sharp corners required on some pieces
