A Brief Note On Thelemic Religion

A Brief Note On Thelemic Religion Image
In theory, Thelemic religion is neither the mundane veneration of, nor slavish obligation to, any idealized exterior god, but rather the unveiling Gnosis and hedonistic Worship of the Hidden Divinity inherent within Oneself; in practice, it serves to assist the gradual realization of the Transcendent Will, the Augoeides or Higher Genius, also called the Holy Supernal Will, that is at once within and all around Oneself. Thelema is Self-Gnosis without asceticism, instead finding virtue in sanctified Self-Indulgence.

It is about joyfully celebrating and culturally promoting the Holy Thelemic Atheology that holds the only Deity to be that which is in each and every Woman, Man and Beast, frowning upon any theological superstition that is hopelessly at odds with science. Such Holy Will, concerned with the earth and her creatures and not some otherworldly utopia, founded wholly upon Love, is every way perfect.

Witches Coven Wicc2 By Cate Tiernan

Witches Coven Wicc2 By Cate Tiernan Image

The Coven by Cate Tiernan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"The Coven" picks up where "Book of Shadows" left off. Morgan finding out that she is a blood witch. In order for a witch to be a blood witch both parents have to be a witch. She thinks that if she is a blood witch then that means so is her parents. Morgan confronts her parents about them being a witch too. They tell her that they are not witches and neither is her sister Mary k. So Morgan figures out that she was adopted and demands to know the whole story and why they never told her.

Morgan is very upset and sad and needs someone to talk to but the only person she ever told all her secrets to was her best friend Bree who is still mad at her over her relationship with Cal. Cal tells Morgan that he loves her and that they are destine to be together. Bree is so jealous of their relationship that she leaves their coven (Cirrus) and joins a new coven with Sky Eventide. Bree wants to get back at Morgan for taking Cal from her. Not that he was ever hers to take. She wants Sky to help her get revenge. Morgan follows Bree to the cemetery where she meets Sky and spies on them. That is how she comes to think that Bree really hates her and wants revenge.

Morgan later meets Sky and Hunter, Cal's half-brother at Cal's house. When meeting Sky she is strongly jealous of Sky and can't stand to be in the same room with her. Morgan leaves the room and as she is making her way back to her friends she hears Sky and Hunter in the hall talking. She leans against the wall and it clicks revealing a hidden room. Morgan enters the room hiding from Sky and Hunter. The room is filled with lots of bookshelves with books on "Wicca". She determines that the room must belong to Selene, Cal's mother's office. As she is exploring all the books she wonders if Selene will let her borrow any of the books. She finds her own mothers "Book of Shadows" among all the books. While she is reading her mother's "Book of Shadows" Selene and Cal walk in.

I love reading books about witches and "Wicca". I think most of them are great reads and "The Coven" did not disappoint me in the least. You learn about "Wicca" and how to cast spells. and about covens. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series. They are about 15 books in all. Check them out if you like reading about witches.

Marjorie Cameron Biography

Marjorie Cameron Biography Cover
Research is an important part of creating a character, especially if it is an historical figure. I was embarrassed to say that I had never heard of Marjorie Cameron, but then again, I was never a Thelemite. I had heard of Jack Parsons a long time ago, in some distant connection with the Manson murders, perhaps to do with the Hollywood location, and through this, I knew he was known for performing rites of black magic with L.Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology. I later found a reference to Parsons in a book by Kenneth Grant, a magician who seems to combine Crowely’s teachings with the Cuthulu mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. In discussing Crowley, and the atom bomb, Grant mentions the rocket scientist, Jack Parsons, as an early American devotee of the Great Beast.

Cameron was born in Belle Plaine, Iowa, the eldest of four children. Her father, Hill Leslie Cameron, was a Scot from Illinois who worked with the railroad. Her mother, Carrie V. Ridenour, of German and Dutch decent, was a native of Iowa. The night of Cameron’s birth was surrounded by chaos; there was a terrible thunderstorm and her father got drunk and attempted suicide because he thought his wife was dying. Her grandmother, a staunch churchwoman, believed Cameron to be a child of the devil because of her fiery red hair.

As a child, Cameron began to have strange and powerful visions that were so vivid, she could not be sure if they were real or imaginary. One night from her bedroom, she saw a ghostly procession of four white horses float by her window. Later she would recall these dreams in detail and was able to capture this in her artwork and poetry. In a letter to magician and Aleister Crowley associate Jane Wolfe, she mentions finding a “hole to hell” in her grandmother’s backyard:

“I remember always a tree on my grandmother’s property from which hung an old, old swing where my mother had played as a little girl. Near this spot I recall a well which I always believed was the hole to hell – also the blue Bachelor Button flower grew near this spot. Herein I find again a new concept of the 4 elements and the name of god – the tree, the well, the swing (water’s life) and the flower – which is seed.”

When she was 17, the Great Depression was underway and Cameron moved with her family to Davenport, Iowa, a considerably larger town than Belle Plaine. Having trouble adjusting after the suicide of a close friend, Cameron tried to take her own life several times by overdosing on sleeping pills. She claims that these near brushes with death further enhanced her psychic abilities, reportedly giving her a glimpse into the realm of the dead.

In 1943, in the midst of World War II, the 21 year-old Cameron turned down several scholarships to join the Navy. She was sent along with 3000 other women to boot camp in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Soon she was selected for a high-level job in Washington, DC, where she applied her artistic skills by drawing maps for the war efforts. She was then sent to the Joint Chiefs of Staff where she once met Winston Churchill. She had a drafting table at the head of their conference room. Later, she felt that many men died in the South Pacific as a result of her drawings, Cameron considered all of her drawings to be magical talismans that had a very real effect on the world, she always felt a karmic connection to these men and believed that later tragic events in her life were the result of her participation in their deaths.

By the late 1950s, Cameron was living in Malibu and hanging out with a crowd of artists that included the likes of Dennis Hopper, Wallace Berman, Bruce Conner, and others. Wallace Berman’s show at the Ferus Gallery was closed in 1957 after displaying one of Cameron’s drawings which depicted a woman, possibly Cameron, being taken from behind by an alien creature.

Cameron also played the role of a ’sea witch’ in experimental avant-garde film directed by Curtis Harrington. This 1960 black and white supernatural thriller, Night Tide, starred actor Dennis Hopper and Linda Lawson. This film was shown at the Venice Film Festival in 1961, and released in the U.S. in 1963.

Thelemic Saints Joseph Campbell

Thelemic Saints Joseph Campbell Image
JOSEPH CAMPBELL, THELEMIC SAINT.

Joseph Campbell was a Child of Thelema if ever there was one. Born just days after the Advent of the Thelemic Age, and right before the revelation of the Law of Thelema, he was very much imbued with the Spirit of the New Aeon. Yet, like numerous others on our list of Saints, Campbell did not attain to the Gnosis and Communion of his Holy Bliss by clerical devices such as a routine of ceremonial invocation and formal meditation practices, but rather by an insatiable passion for, and incredibly focused analysis and understanding of, the underlying threads of all myths and religions across the globe.

He started out as a Roman Catholic but quickly became passionate about Native American mythology, Asian philosophy, and Hinduism. He was also an avid student of Jung -- yet another Thelemic Saint. But he found great enlightenment in the fantastic works of James Joyce, whom Crowley regarded very highly. Campbell was also greatly impacted with the genius of Friedrich Nietzsche, whom he often quoted.

Joseph Campbell went on to write such great works as "Hero with a Thousand Faces "and "The Masks of God", and was later featured in a video series by Bill Moyers called "The Power of Myth". His most accomplished disciple was George Lucas, who found inspiration in his studies on comparative myth for his monumental series of science fiction films, which at their core are the saga of a lost soul emerging from the Abyss through sheer love.

Campbell left us with many great quotes. Here are just a few of those highly Thelemic gems:

"Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble."

"Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain."

"Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy."

"God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that."

"I don't have to have faith, I have experience."

"It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure."

"Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging."

"Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again."

But perhaps his fondest saying was simply "Follow your Bliss". What a wonderful way of saying "Do what thou wilt"! He once said: "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls."

His profound genius is appreciated and will be remembered. Happy birthday to Joseph Campbell (Mar.26, 1904-Oct.30, 1987 E.V.).

Rituals And Spell Objectives Red Magic

Rituals And Spell Objectives Red Magic Cover
As soon as humanity developed the organization and weapons technology to defeat its main natural predators and competitors it seems to have applied a fierce selection mechanism to itself in the form of internecine warfare. Many of the qualities we regard as marks of our evolutionary success, such as our opposable thumbs and tool handling abilities, our capacity for communication by sound, our upright posture, and our capacity to give and receive commands and discipline, were almost certainly selected for during millennia of organized armed conflict between human bands. Our morality reflects our bloody history, for whilst it is taboo to attack members of one's own tribe, it remains one's duty to attack foreigners. The only debate is over who constitutes one's own tribe. When enthusiasm for war is limited, we devise sports and games in which to express our aggression. From the whole ethos and terminology of sport it is plain that sport is just war with extra rules.

However, it should not be supposed that war is completely without rules. Wars are fought to improve one's bargaining position; in war the enemy group is a resource that one wishes to gain some measure of control over. Wars are fought to intimidate one's adversaries, not to exterminate them. Genocide is not war.

The structure and conduct of war reflects the "fight or flight" program built into our sympathetic nervous system. In battle, the aim is to intimidate the enemy out of the fight mode and into flight mode. Thus, assuming there is sufficient parity of force to make a fight seem worthwhile to both parties, morale is the decisive factor in conflict. Indeed, it is the decisive factor in virtually any inter-human competitive, sporting or military encounter.

Red magic has two aspects, firstly the invocation of the vitality, aggression, and morale to sustain oneself in any conflict from life in general to outright war, and secondly the conduct of actual combat magic. A variety of god forms exist in which the War-self can be expressed, although hybrid or purely idiosyncratic forms work just as well. Ares, Ishtar, Ogoun, Thor, Mars, Mithras and Horus in particular are often used. Contemporary symbolism should not be neglected. Firearms and explosives are as welcoming to the red gnosis as swords and spears. Drums are virtually indispensable. Sigils drawn in flammable liquids, or indeed whole flaming circles in which to invoke should be considered.

Combat magic is usually practiced openly with the adversary being publicly threatened and cursed, or finding himself the recipient of an unpleasant looking talisman, spell or rune. The aim is intimidation and control of one's adversary who must therefore be made as paranoid as possible and informed of the origin of the attack. Otherwise combat magic takes the same general form as that used in Entropy Rites, with sigils and servitors carrying auto-destructive information to the target, although with sub-lethal intent.

However, the real skill of red magic is to be able to present such an overwhelming glamour of personal vitality, morale and potential for aggression that the exercise of combat magic is never required.

The Grimoire Speaks

The Grimoire Speaks Cover
When I got it home, I laid the Grimoire on the kitchen table thinking I would take a look at it during dinner. As I was cooking, I my attention was drawn by the sound of tinkling bells. The sound seemed to be coming from the book! I was a bit concerned because I wasn’t up for any more ‘Initiations’. I went into denial for a moment because I wanted to look through the book. It was so well written and beautifully put together. I felt P.and K. would be very pleased with it, but I hadn’t bargained for Magical contact with Demons. The bells continued to tinkle. When I opened the book the sound of soft , dark chanting, far away as if it was in the back of my mind, came through. Then the unmistakable scent of dirty laundry, that I have come to associate with the presence of unclean spirits, wafted up.

Later that night, I was visited by a dream so vivid, it woke me up. A huge, black serpent was in the living room growing larger and larger, unwinding and rewinding its coils, filling the space with breathing, groaning, and menace. Opening one eye, I lay very still. If you can see them, they can see you and I wasn’t sure I wanted Ophiel to know I could see him.

I stole a glance at the clock on the stand beside my bed. It was about 3 AM. I learned in my ordeal with the Horned God, that 3AM-6AM are the true witching hours. These are the hours when the cock crows, the hours when most people die.

As Ophiel breathed, expanded, and contracted in the living room, there were other sounds, voices murmuring. Much of the phenomena that I don’t remember, but it kept me awake in a state of hyper-vigilant fear until dawn. Suddenly I heard all these little chattering baby voices. It felt as if a cloud of tiny spirits had entered my ear and gone into my head! I sat up and decided I had to get the Grimoire out of the flat.

The book was still sitting on the kitchen table. This meant I had to creep quietly out of my room (as if it mattered!) and cross the dark living room where Ophiel still wound in and out, seething and breathing like a black cloud of pollution. The lights from the street lamps came in through the windows, casting shadows on the floor, but the mass of shadows in the center of the room still swirled and oozed. When I reached the kitchen table, I grabbed the Grimoire. I knew it had to go outside, but where?

Commentaries On The Holy Books And Other Papers The Equinox

Commentaries On The Holy Books And Other Papers The Equinox Cover

Book: Commentaries On The Holy Books And Other Papers The Equinox by Aleister Crowley

This Volume of the Equinox contains much more than mere Commentaries to the Holy Books, it contains the essence of Knowledge that Crowley was capable of, woven into the structure of the Commentaries, making this the companion to every man's life-style. The Commentary for Liber LXV encompasses the means to invoke one's Guardian Angel in the simplist method possible. The Voice of the Silence' Commentary manifests the inherent differences between the Brother of the Right and Left Hand Paths and every other matter of the Crossing of the Abyss, concentrated within the scope of comparatively nothing -- he has extracted the needed material to the smallest possible space. There is knowledge offered in this Volume nowhere else able to be found on the nature of Crowley's Philosophies.

This is an incredible book, and not only because it begins a new volume (IV) in the Equinox journal of scinetific illuminism. It makes available for the first time, on a large scale, several important commentaries on the Holy Books, as well as the founding documents of the Ordo A.'.A.'., by whom this book is edited. In more ways than one this book may prove to be to the Ordo A.'.A.'., what the Equinox III 10 was to the O.T.O. It is definitely one of the books every self respecting Thelemite must have on his book shelf. I would highly recommend this book as the second most important book by Aleister Crowley, the first being "Magick Without Tears". A MUST READ!!!!!

The Rights Of Man

The Rights Of Man Cover What does marriage really mean today? Ask the people who claim the label. It’s different for every family.

Man has the right to live by his own law.

Individual people make marriage contracts with each other. The purpose of the agreement might be toward the end of raising children, or of domestic economics, or romantic love, or religious sacrament, or meeting naturalization requirements, or hospital visitation rights, or formalizing the bonds of kinship, or many other things, or some combination of these, or none of them. The state oversees and enforces these contracts, but it has no business dictating how these contracts should be written, defined, or what classes of people may engage in them, except to prevent enslavement. There shall be no property in human flesh.

At the same time, while marriage should only be a matter between those who are married, this means that other organizations would not be required to observe or respect the terms of your marriage. Other communities of people, churches, and so on, would be equally free to have their own traditions respecting marriage; to live by their own law. Your right to live by your own law extends also to those who would not recognize your marriage in living by theirs. The Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica may recognize and celebrate same-sex marriages, but the Roman Catholic Church would not be required to confer benefits to the same-sex spouses of its employees. In his “Considerations of an Open Letter to Labour,” he explains further that religious freedom shall also be absolute so long as they do not unduly influence people:

“Religious propaganda, social movements, political agitations, shall be only permitted on proof that their principles are not repugnant to individual liberty as provided by the Law of Thelema.

“The practice of all religions shall be permitted, but the use of Supernatural threats or promises to influence the will of another person unduly shall be held fraud and duress in the one, punishable with imprisonment, and in the other self-disrespect, demanding a course of treatment in a State Asylum for training the Will and developing the sense of self-hood.”

The redefinition of marriage will naturally raise a lot of questions about benefits. All this must be reevaluated in the light of the sovereignty of the individual. No longer would marriage confer tax benefits designed to encourage procreation. The overhaul of existing laws would have to be extensive, far beyond the scope of this one blog post, as Crowley indicates in various places throughout his “Considerations of an Open Letter to Labour.” For a couple of examples:

“Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle. State insurance, pauper laws, registrations, conscription.”

“All laws which assist men to obtain undue influence upon others must be repealed, e.g. the bankruptcy laws, the libel laws, and the divorce laws.”

Now that we have raised all kinds of huge questions about Aleister Crowley’s political vision for the future of our country and our children, we will change the subject to something funnier.

How To Use Magick With A Straight Face 8 New Science

How To Use Magick With A Straight Face 8 New Science Cover
Those that cannot extricate themselves from old mechanistic views need an excuse to allow the placebo effect to bring them success. Ironically, the same discipline which made magick so difficult can now provide this excuse. Scientists are exploring some new ideas which depart from the founding mechanistic paradigm. Ideas consonant with the magickal paradigm show up in Jung's synchronicity, quantum physics, the Gaia hypothesis and the morphogenetic field hypothesis (see Rupert Sheldrake's "A New Science of Life"). When these views obviously challenge the traditional mechanistic paradigm, they are a source of hostility or amusement. When the challenge is more subtle, people ignore it. Never the less, the West is gradually turning toward a view more in tune with magick. With greater frequency, people are willing to consider the idea that we affect our universe on more than just a physical level.

Scientific evidence now supports the idea of non-physically affecting your environment. Quantum physics suggests that an experimenter's goals seem to create whatever particle he's looking for. The morphogenetic field hypothesis suggests that actions affect all other actions to the degree that the circumstances are similar. This explains why it becomes easier to grow a certain type of crystal over time and how new animal behaviors "jump" from one isolated population to another. Science is continually finding support for things that metaphysicians have said for millennia.

If your respect for science is such that you cannot take magick seriously, do some research into these areas. If you can find an acceptable explanation, then you can respect magick. This respect is essential for success. But don't look for "proofs." The concept of magick is nebulous. It's designed to explain the way things are. "Contrary evidence" only shows that you misunderstand. Change your definition to include the new evidence.

Magick can never be proven wrong because it can't be pinned down. Since it explains a subjective reality, it can never be proven right, either. The magickal paradigm will confirm any preconceptions, so the mechanistic paradigm will look "true" if that is what you expect. Since it also postulates so many unknowns in the mind, this paradigm states that what you get is what you expected. As with so many things, you will believe if you want to and you won't if you don't want to. But when you're on the fence, the right explanation can help you accept the possibility. Only then you can honestly try magick. If you experiment with a negative attitude, it is the nature of magick to confirm this. Magick works best for those practical enough to be skeptical, but open minded enough to give it an honest try. If a part of you is genuinely interested in magick, work to become comfortable with it. Start with simple and harmless work. Leave the embarrassing stuff for later, after you've seen it work and you don't care so much if your friends find out.

Avoid getting too involved in the "explanations." If you need one, pick whichever you like. It doesn't have to be any of those here. Each has to build his own models. In any case, reality transcends the understanding of waking-consciousness, so any expressible explanation is "wrong" in the traditional sense, anyway. For a good illustration, try to "understand" wave-particle duality in any but a mathematical sense. It's as impossible to picture as a four dimensional cube.

However the universe "actually is," always act in a manner that is responsible in an obj-ective universe. If this were not essential, people would have abandoned the objective universe long ago. Objective or subjective, there are many empirical rules of behavior that we all know. Magick doesn't change these rules. Don't drive crazily because you've done a protection spell. Don't spend unwisely because you've done a prosperity spell. Don't jump off a building because you've done a flight spell. Remain within these rules and you loose nothing by acting as though the universe is subjective. You should not be doing anything you don't want to do in the first place, because such acts are pointless in either universe. If the universe is objective, then you have had some harmless fun. If the universe is subjective, then you have the chance to get anything you want. If you approach it properly, you can't lose.

Goddess Isis

Goddess Isis Image
"ISIS" IS THE ANCIENT GODDESS OF MAGIC AND HEALING; SHE IS KNOWN AS THE QUEEN OF THE THRONE. SHE IS PROBABLY THE BEST KNOWN DEITY OF THE EGYPTIAN PANTHEON. SHE HAS GONE BY MANY NAMES AND PLAYED MANY ROLES IN HISTORY AND MYTHOLOGY. SHE IS THE FEMININE ARCHETYPE OF CREATION, AND SHE RULED OVER ALL MATTERS CONCERNING MOTHERING, LIFE, AND SORCERY. SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF GET AND NUT AND THE SISTER/WIFE OF OSIRIS.

ISIS IS DEPICTED IN HUMAN FORM CROWNED EITHER WITH A THRONE OR BY COW HORNS ENCLOSING A SUN DISK. OCCASIONALLY, A VULTURE IS ENCASED IN HER CROWN. SHE HAS ALSO BEEN DEPICTED AS A KITE ABOVE THE MUMMIFIED BODY OF OSIRIS. SHE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIVER NILE. SHE JOURNEYS IN THE MOON BOAT WITH RA, THE SUN GOD, AS HE TRAVELS FROM THE WEST TO RISE AGAIN IN THE EAST.

ISIS IS THE ULTIMATE WIFE AND MOTHER. SHE LIVED WITH OSIRIS UNTIL HE WAS KILLED BY HIS JEALOUS BROTHER, SET. AND ACCORDING TO MYTH, ISIS FOUND HIS BODY IN PHOENICIA IN A TAMARISK TREE AND RETURNED IT TO EGYPT FOR A PROPER BURIAL. AFTER SET'S SECOND ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF THE BODY, ISIS BROUGHT OSIRIS BACK TO LIFE AND LATER CONCEIVED A CHILD WITH HIM, HORUS.

ISIS REMAINED POPULAR IN MYTHOLOGY EVEN IN THE DAYS OF THE ROMANS AND THE GREEKS. TODAY SHE IS WORSHIPPED MANY CIRCLES AND THE TEMPLE OF ISIS REMAINS A POPULAR ICON TO THIS ANCIENT EGYPTIAN GODDESS.

"I ISIS, AM ALL THAT HAS BEEN, THAT IS OR SHALL BE; NO MORTAL MAN HATH EVER ME UNVEILED." - INSCRIBED IN THE TEMPLE OF ISIS

ISIS CAN COMFORT US WHEN LIFE SEEMS DARK. WE CAN GAIN INSPIRATION FROM HER ENERGY AND DETERMINATION TO FIND OSIRIS. WE CAN UNDERSTAND HER TEARS AT THE LOSS OF HER BELOVED AND WE CAN FLY WITH HER AND CELEBRATE IN THE FINDING OF THE TAMARISK TREE. WE CAN SEE HER AS ONE WHO GENERATES THE LIFE-GIVING BREATH IN HER WINGS.
