english translation edited by donald tyson (st. paul, minnesota: llewellyn, 1993) has an appendix explaining how these characters are derived. 6 the reason for using the egyptian forms is simply that they have the bestdefined magical images. there are also techniques for deriving magical images from names in hebrew or greek, which can be applied to this practice as well as in the construction of telesmatic images. you should also find out about forms from any other pantheons which particularly appeal to you. 7 see for example budge.s gods of the egyptians. 8 this represents the g.d. practice, derived from levi; there are variations around this point. 9 some practitioners prefer to vibrate ihvh .spelt out. i.e. as yod heh vau heh. similarly, since agla is a notariqon (acronym) of a hebrew

it were, for all subsequent order teaching. in effect it reveals the essential fact involved in all practical magical work. most of the later instructions merely elaborate the necessity for the correct vibration of the highest divine names, and the building up in the imagination of pictures of one kind or another. in all of the major rituals, and in all such instructions as those on talismans and telesmatic images, the basic factors are those mentioned in the very simple phrase given above. never let it be forgotten, when apparently submerged in a mass of complicated attributions and technical details, that the essence of magic is simple. so simple in fact, that a vast'amount of self-discipline and training is required to make it effective. the counsel given in the portal document (p. 175

lated into english the sacred magic of abramelin the mage, where this phrase was first used. as the tiphareth clause of the obligation, it is the most important one of all the ten clauses. and in one way or another, its fulfillment is pointed to in nearly every important phase of the order work. regardless of which phase you may think ofskrying in the spirit-vision, ceremonial magic, formation of telesmatic images, etc- this one goal is in the background, giving meaning and substance to all else. no matter, then, what aspect of the work the student devotes himself to, he should never lose sight of this one clause, and the goal to which it refers. one particular passage in 2-2 found immediately after its opening confirms this notion in a specially powerful way. describing the temple in refe

lts are salutary- and quite apart from the spiritual and psychic effect, which is that to be aimed at, its reaction incidentally on the physical health and vitality is so marked as almost to be miraculous. the two important adjuncts to success in ceremonial magic <156> are briefly the god-form and the vibration of the divine name. the assumption of the appropriate form of the egyptian god- or the telesmatic image especially built up by the imagination based upon the signification of the letters of the name- and the powerful vibration of the name itself by the vibratory formula of the middle pillar are bound, if all other conditions are complied with, to yield salutary results. the symbolic god-form held firmly in the imagination, the name vibrated with great force- then the subsequent invo

tant, you must be in perfect magnetic and nervous condition, or else you will do evil instead of good. when you are using a name and drawing a sigil from the rose, you must remember that the sephirah to which the rose and cross are referred, is tiphareth, whose position answers to the position of the heart, as if the rose were therein. it is not always necessary to formulate before youinspace the telesmatic angelic figure of the name. as a general rule, pronounce the name as many times as there are letters in it <64> further on telesmatic figures as before taught the names of all angels and angelic forces terminate, with few exceptions, in either al or yah. the divine name al belongs to chesed and it represents a good, powerful, and mighty force, but of somewhat milder operation than the n

of the divine energies, therefore frequently to the names of evil spirits, is al added. the name yah is added to the name of an angel or spirit who exercises only a good and somewhat beneficent office. this being understood, these two terminations being rather in the nature of incidental attributions than of essential distinction, they need not be taken too much notice of in the construction of a telesmatic image. in building up such an image, you can either imagine it astrally before you, or paint the actual resemblance. care should however be taken to pro488 the golden dawn: volume n book seven nounce the divine names belonging to the world under which the telesmatic image under course of construction would fall. thus to atziluth are allotted deific names. to briah, archangelic and so on

riah is creative and originative, and to it certain great gods called archangels are allotted. yetzirah is formative and angelic orders are allotted thereunto. assiah which is the material world consists of the great kingdoms of the elementals, human beings, and <65> in some cases of the qlippoth- though these latter really occupy the planes below assiah. from these remarks it will be seen that a telesmatic image can hardly apply to atziluth; that to briah it can only do so in a restricted sense. thus a telesmatic image belonging to that world would have to be represented with a kind of concealed head, possessing a form shadowy and barely indicated. telesmatic images, then, really belong to yetzirah. therefore it would be impossible to employ the telesmatic image of a divine name in atzilu

you would get elemental forms. the sex of the figure depends upon the predominance of the masculine or the feminine in the whole of the letters together, but a jumble of the sexes should be avoided in the same form. the image built up should be divided into as many parts as there are letters, commencing at the upper part and so on in order. in addition to this method of determining the sex of the telesmatic image of a name, certain names are inherently masculine, others feminine, and some epicene, irrespective of the mere testimony of the letters. sandalphon, for instance is thus analysed: samekh male peh female nun male vau male daleth female nun male lamed female therefore masculine predominates, and if it were an ordinary name you would make a masculine form out of it. but as this name

pecially applied to the feminine kerub, it is an exception to the rule; it is an archangelic name, belonging to the briatic world and not merely an angelic name relating to yetzirah. sandalphon is also called yeher, meaning "left" and its letters are: female, female and male, so that, in this case, it may be any of these <66> the seven letters composing the name sandalphon are thus adapted to the telesmatic image. samekh head. would represent a beautiful and active face rather thin than fat. nun neck, would be admirably full. talismans and sigils daleth shoulders of a beautiful woman. lamed heart and chest, the latter perfectly proportioned. peh hips strong and full. vau legs massive. nun feet sinewy and perhaps winged. if it be desired to build up an elemental form out of this name a very

o symbols on a <67> tattwic plane, we get the following: samekh comes under fire nun comes under water daleth comes under water of earth lamed comes under air peh comes under fire nun comes under water. these would be synthesized thus: a silver crescent on a red tiangle placed over a yellow square. all three would be charged and enclosed within a large silver crescent. now, taking an example, the telesmatic image appertaining to the letter aleph. this on the briatic plane, would be rather masculine than feminine and would be resumed by a spiritual figure hardly visible at all, the head-dress winged, the body cloud-veiled and wrapped in mist, as if clouds were rolling over and obscuring the outline, and scarcely permitting the legs and feet to be seen. it represents the spirit of ether. in

tlessness and movement, that of the masculine. therefore, let this be clearly understood in ascribing gender to angelic forms and images. our tradition classes all forces under the heads of vehement and rushing force, and firm and steady force. therefore a figure representing the former would be a masculine and that representing the latter, a feminine form. but for convenience in the formation of telesmatic images of ordinary occult names and words, the letters are arranged in masculine and feminine classification. this classification is not intended to affirm that the let <69> ters have not in themselves both natures (seeing that in each letter as in each sephirah is hidden the dual nature of masculine and feminine) but shows more their tendency as regards the distinction of force beforem

d. those, then, are rather masculine than feminine to which are allotted forces more rapid in action. and those, again, are rather feminine than masculine which represent a force more firm and steady whence all letters whose sound is prolonged as if moving forward are rather masculine than feminine. certain others are epicene, yet incline rather to one nature than to another. talismans and sigils telesmatic attributions of the letters of the hebrew alphabet aleph. spiritual. wings generally, epicene, rather male than female, rather thin type. beth. active and slight. male. gimel grey, beautiful yet changeful. feminine, rather full face and body. daleth. very beautiful and attractive. feminine. rather full face and body. heh. fierce, strong. rather fiery; feminine. vau. steady and strong. r

rmulae of practical magic derived from the z documents, dealing with the symbolism of the candidate, the temple, and the ceremony of the neophyte grade, will require to be not only memorised and known, but understood. the student will need to be perfectly acquainted with the pentagram and hexagram rituals, the formulae of the consecration ceremonies, the general art of invocation, and formulating telesmatic images, and drawing sigils. the tablets are excellent instances of talismans and flashing tablets. d. d. c. f. says in his notanda to the book of the concourse of the forces, that "the tablets of enoch require in truth many years of study, and will repay such an expenditure of time and energy. the knowledge embodied in this manuscript is very superficial and elementary, and entirely fai

e part, gather meaning from them. since the light cannot exist unconfined in the manifest universe without destroying all creation, it needs many servants (at least, they are perceived as many by the analytical, categorizing human mind. the role of the guardian angel is that of protector, teacher and guide on the level of the individual human being. in the same way that the magus molds his or her telesmatic images from the natural forces outside the perceived self, he or she shapes the guardian from the directing power of the light within. by personalizing the energy that is the guardian, the magus gains some measure of control over it: can speak to it and expect an answer; can call it forth and hope to see it. usually the guardian is visualized in a human form of the opposite sex that has

d audible, some- times tactile, but they seldom leave material evidence of their presence. an homunculus, on the other hand, usually has a physical body of human shape, although not necessarily of human size. the formation of a spirit may be completely unconscious as in the case of lar- vae, or deliberate in various degrees. the most highly conscious method is the golden dawn technique of forming telesmatic images, where spirits are built up from simples into complexes through a rational process of correspondence. the creation of a telesmatic image can be compared to the process of life. it begins with an initial impulse, goes on to the gathering of useful raw materials, and then an involved pattern is constructed from these basic building blocks. telesmatic images are alloys of forces, de

ntity from the magus who shaped them. they are not creatures of the ego of the magus alone, however; they take some of their nature from his or her godhead or higher self, and are thus independent beings. these spirits may become so concrete over time that they are clearly perceived by other people who know nothing of their existence. in tibet, before the coming of the communists, the creation of telesmatic images was a part of the training of magicians. it was said to be not uncommon to encounter these manufactured spir- its while walking along the empty mountain trails at t ilight' indeed, the yeti is very likely a telesmatic spirit that has been unconsciously created by the tibetan people over many generations. the traditional method of forming a telesmatic image used by the hermetic or

must try to fit his or her ritual needs into the existing catalog of psychic beings. this is like buying a suit off the rack-usually it fits well enough to serve, but it is never ideal. but the greatest fault with this method is that it starts with the name and goes on to work backwards to extract the qualities of the spirit. here is a more rational system that will serve for the creation of all telesmatic images. begin with the purpose you wish the spirit to serve. using its eventual function as a guide, list all those qualities you will require in your creation. these should include the physical, emotional, and mental features of the spirit. narrow these down to the most essential. for example, suppose you wanted to create a protective spirit to watch over a friend. some of the features

it into being. by destroying the name-by reading it backwards for instance, or by ritually burning it-the magus can destroy the manifest form of the spirit. the name can be used as a focus for physically containing the spirit when it is not being employed; when the name is written on a pentacle or figurine, the spirit can be made to reside within the object until called upon. from the name of the telesmatic spirit is derived, by various means, its sigil. also called the character or seal, the sigil is a geometric design that represents the spirit and acts as a visual avenue of communication and command. because it is visual, the sigil can be more easily held in the mind than the letters of the name during the exaltation of ritual. the sigil is another form of the name, or identity, of the

. the sigil is another form of the name, or identity, of the spirit. its making is described in the next chapter (chapter 32. there is no essential difference between summoning a spirit and creating a teles- matic image. in the first case, the magus uses elements derived from tradition, and in the second case, he or she chooses all the elements, guided by the ritual purpose. the method of forming telesmatic images can easily be applied to existing spirits, who are usually so poorly described in the literature that calling them forth necessitates creating their images in the mind. starting with what is known about the nature of a given spirit, a shape can be built up and a magical esoteric name extracted from that form. then a sigil can be constructed that is based on the esoteric name. aft

en a sigil can be constructed that is based on the esoteric name. after the form of a spirit has been conceived, it must still be brought to life. until its birth it is like the conception of a work of art: it has no tangible reality. spirits are made real through the rituals of invocation and evocation, already given. as a separate act, the magus may wish to symbolically infuse vitality into the telesmatic image, but this is not required. the vitality of a spirit comes from the same place as the vitality of the magus-the light. by simply drawing the spirit forth until it can be experienced, the magus has caused its birth. a telesmatic spirit can be prevented from running amuck if it is given a finite life span that ends with its usefulness. its death can be automatically preset or con- sc

t be symbolically imprisoned in a small ball of wax to ensure its instant obedience. the magus would take care to guard this ball with signs and words of power to keep it safe from the spirit. the moment the spirit outlived its usefulness, the magus would cast the wax ball into a fire, speaking an incantation for the complete destruction of the spirit. a competent magus will suffer no threat from telesmatic images. the danger lies in becoming fond of such beings, or even growing to love them. if this happens the magus may lack the will to kill them, and then his or her danger becomes great. at first subservient and fawning, the spirits will draw on the hidden powers of the higher self of the magus and grow stronger day by day, until at last they are too powerful to command; for spirits gro

and grow stronger day by day, until at last they are too powerful to command; for spirits grow stronger at the expense of the magus, who correspondingly weakens. the liberated spirits will work all manner of mischief, from malice or exuberance, and will torment the magus unmercifully unto death. the jewish folk tale of the golem should be taken as a warning. the golem was a type of homunculus, a telesmatic image that had been infused into a life-sized figure of clay to give it power over the material world" in one version of the story, its cre- ator, rabbi loew of prague, allowed it to keep its form longer than necessary because it was obedient and subservient to him. but all the while, the golem grew in power, until at last it was destroyed only with the greatest risk and difficulty. a s
