Taliesin: TOPY Sigils

{{MTP}}

[[Image:Sigil_of_ameth.gif|right|frame|[[Johannes Dee|Dee's]] [[Sigil of Ameth]] from his [[Enochian magick|Enochian]] workings]]A '''sigil''' (lat. ''sigillum'', diminutive of ''signum'', "sign") is a symbol designed for a specific magical purpose. They are designed to represent a glyph, composed of a variety of symbols or concepts with the intent and inherent iconic meaning. Essentially, sigils are symbolic icons that are condensed representations of more complex ideas or information.

A sigil may have an abstract, pictorial or semi-abstract form. It may appear in any medium, physical or virtual, or only in the mind. Visual symbols are the most popular form, but the use of audial and tactile symbols in magick is not unknown.

[[Austin Osman Spare]], in his [[Zos Kia Cultus]], refined the use of sigils by themselves, i.e. outside of [[ritual]]. His technique, now known as "sigilization", became a core element of [[Chaos magick]] and from there, has developed into a popular element of western [[magick]].

Sigils have many potential uses. Spiritual protection is a common one, especially when used during [[Goetia|goetic]] work. It can also be used to accomplish a desired end, such as writing down a result in symbolic form, and then burning it. A sigil can even be created as a personal glyph for an individual magician.

In a post-modern context, businesses may use logos as their sigils and invest them with a comparable degree of prestige or power. The idea that these symbols are consciously used as magical tools is a popular idea among some occultists.

==Common use of Sigils in the [[POP Culture]]==
The [[Thelema|Thelemic]] Pop-culture [[TOPY]] (a/k/a [[Temple ov Psychick Youth]]) utilize Sigils. A proper method many students use is forming symbols from words or phrases. For instance one would take the phrase "I desire more power" and cancel out every letter which shows up more than once resulting in the letters (''d m p s w''). The next step would be to form a picture using the shapes of the letters left over. example:

It is then empowered with semen or vaginal fluids and utterly forgotten about.

Gematria

2005-03-10T19:32:02Z

Taliesin: A.C. and Gematria

{{MTP}}

{{partial}}

'''Gematria''' is [[numerology]] of the [[Hebrew language]] and [[Hebrew alphabet]] originally. Modern magicians commonly practice it using other alphabets, including Greek, Latin, and English.

==Judaic Gematria==
===Revealed Gematria===
The commonest form of '''gematria''' is used occasionally in the [[Talmud]] and [[Midrash]] and elaborately by many post-Talmudic [[rabbinic literature|commentators]]. It involves converting words and sentences into numbers, usually by assigning numbers to each letter of the [[Hebrew alphabet]]. When converted to a number, they can be compared to other words and similarities drawn. A commentary almost completely dedicated to ''gematria'' is [[Baal ha-Turim]] by [[Rabbi]] [[Jacob ben Asher]].

===Mystical Gematria===
A system of recognizing a correspondence between the ten [[sefira]] on the [[Tree of Life]] and the twenty two letters in the [[Hebrew alphabet]]. This system is elaborated in many mystical [[Judaism|Jewish]] writings such as the [[Zohar]].

One example of Gematria is that there are twenty-two solid figures that are composed of [[polygon|regular polygons]]. There are five [[Platonic solid]]s, four [[Kepler-Poinsot solid]]s, and thirteen [[Archimedean solid]]s. Since there are twenty-two [[letter|letters]] in the [[Hebrew alphabet]] (aleph-beth), a correspondence is possible between these two facts. The art of Gematria is knowing which solid is associated with which letter.

Another example is that of [[Hebrew numerals]]. Although there are twenty-two letters, there are twenty-seven numerals necessary to sum each number up to one thousand. (one through nine, ten through ninety, one hundred through nine hundred) The Hebrew numeric system notes that the missing final five letters of the numeral system match exactly with the five 'sofeet' forms of the Hebrew letters, which are alternate forms of particular letters only used when that letter is the last consonant in a hebrew word.

Another use is that words which have the same numerical value, share the same qualities, and reveal still other aspects of the Divine.

==Hermetic Gematria==
...please write this...

===Gematria and Crowley===
{{thelema}}
From Sepher Sephiroth sub figurâ D
 
http://www.abrahadabra.org/img/heb_num.png
 
When written large, the value of a Hebrew letter is increased by a factor of one thousand. A large Aleph is counted 1000, a large Beth 2000, etc.
 
Note that there are no vowels in Hebrew, only semi-vowels (A, H, V, I). Diacritical marks are sometimes used to indicate vowels, but generally the correct pronunciation of a word therefore relies on memory. In any case, this has no importance in Gematria, except that it must be noted that any given word may have many different meanings, according as it is pronounced.
 
M, D and S before the names of the letters shows their division into Mothers, Double and Single letters; referred respectively
to active Elements (Air, Water, Fire), Planets and Zodiacal Signs. But Shin and Tau also serve to signify the Elements of Spirit
and of Earth (see Liber 777).

Qabalah

2005-03-10T19:00:33Z

Taliesin: linking Gematria for future use

{{MTP}}

'''Qabalah''' (alt. ''kabbalah'') is an aspect of Jewish mysticism. It consists of a large body of speculation on the nature of divinity, the creation, the origin and fate of the soul, and the role of human beings. It consists also of meditative, devotional, mystical and magical practices which were taught only to a select few and for this reason Kabbalah is regarded as an esoteric offshoot of Judaism. In general usage, the spelling ''qabalah'' is used to distinguish the variation of kabbalah used by western or hermetic magicians from Jewish mystical kabbalah.

'''See also''': [[Tree of Life]]

==The History of Qabalah/Kabbalah==

===The Kabbalah in Jewish Mystical Tradition===

The word "Kabbalah" is derived from the Hebrew root "to receive, to accept", and in many cases is used synonymously with "tradition". According to Jewish tradition, the Torah (Torah - "Law" - the first five books of the Old Testament) was created prior to the world and she advised God on such weighty matters as the creation of human kind. When [[Mosheh|Moses]] received the written law from God, tradition has it that he also received the oral law, which was not written down, but passed from generation to generation. At times the oral law has been referred to as "Kabbalah" - the oral tradition.

The earliest documents which are generally acknowledged as being Kabbalistic come from the 1st. Century C.E., but there is a suspicion that the Biblical phenomenon of prophecy may have been grounded in a much older oral tradition which was a precursor to the earliest recognisable forms of Kabbalah. Some believe the tradition goes back as far as Melchizedek. There are moderately plausible arguments that Pythagoras received his learning from Hebrew sources. There is a substantial literature of Jewish mysticism dating from the period 100AD - 1000AD which is not strictly Kabbalistic in the modern sense, but which was available as source material to medieval Kabbalists.

On the basis of a detailed examination of texts, and a study of the development of a specialist vocabulary and a distinct body of ideas, Scholem has concluded that the origins of Kabbalah can be traced to 12th. century Provence. The origin of the word "Kabbalah" as a label for a tradition which is definitely recognisable as Kabbalah is attributed to Isaac the Blind (c. 1160-1236 C.E.), who is also credited with being the originator of the idea of sephirothic emanation.

By the early middle ages further, more theosophical developments had taken place, chiefly a description of "processes" within God, and a highly esoteric view of creation as a process in which God manifests in a series of emanations. This doctrine of the "sephiroth" can be found in a rudimentary form in the "Yetzirah", but by the time of the publication of the book "Bahir" (12th. century) it had reached a form not too different from the form it takes today. One of most interesting characters from this period was Abraham Abulafia, who believed that God cannot be described or conceptualised using everyday symbols, and used the Hebrew alphabet in intense meditations lasting many hours to reach ecstatic states. Because his abstract letter combinations were used as keys or entry points to altered states of consciousness, failure to carry through the manipulations correctly could have a drastic effect on the Kabbalist. In "Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism" Scholem includes a long extract of one such experiment made by one of Abulafia's students—it has a deep ring of truth about it.

Probably the most influential Kabbalistic document, the "Sepher ha Zohar", was published by Moses de Leon, a Spanish Jew, in the latter half of the thirteenth century. The "Zohar" is a series of separate documents covering a wide range of subjects, from a verse-by-verse esoteric commentary on the Pentateuch, to highly theosophical descriptions of processes within God. The "Zohar" has been widely read and was highly influential within mainstream Judaism as well as Hermetic Qabalah.

===Historical Hermetic Qabalah===

About the 16th century, Western European scholars began taking interest in the Jewish Kabbalah. In this century we first see documents refering to [[Hermes Trismegistus]], the "father" of Hermetic Magic.

At the time it was believed that the Corpus really was the religion of the ancient Egyptians, and that Hermes was a kind of Egyptian Moses. The fact that they were written much later, and heavily influenced by Neoplatonism, had the effect of convincing readers at that time that Greek philosophy was founded on much older, Egyptian religious philosophy - this had a huge influence on liberal religious and philosophical thinking at the time. Into this environment came the Kabbalah, brought in part by fleeing Spanish Jews, and it was seized upon as another lost tradition, the inner, initiated key to the Bible.

Two figures stand out. One was Giovanni Pico, Count of Mirandola, who commissioned several translations of Kabbalistic works, and did much to publicise Kabbalah among the intellectuals of the day. The other was Johannes Reuchlin, who learned to read Hebrew and became deeply immersed in Kabbalistic literature. It must be said that Jews were suspicious of this activity, finding that Christian scholars were using the Kabbalah as a bludgeon to persuade them to convert to Christianity.

It was out of this eclectic mixture of Christianity, Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, Kabbalah and Renaissance humanism that Hermetic Kabbalah was born. Over the centuries it has developed in many directions, with strong influences from Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, but continued input from Jewish Kabbalah has meant that many variants are not so different in spirit from the original. Its greatest strength continues to be a strong element of religious humanism - it does not attempt to define God and does not define what an individual should believe, but it does assume that some level of direct experience of God is possible and there are practical methods for achieving this. In a modern world of compartmentalised knowledge, scientific materialism, and widespread cultural and historical illiteracy, it provides a bridge between the spirit of enquiry of the Renaissance (the homo universalis or - in Hebrew - hakham kolel) and the emergence of a similar spirit of enquiry in our own time.

===Qabalah in Recent Ceremonial Magick===

Qabalah was a subject of study for most Ceremonialists between the time of [[John Dee]] and the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]]. But [[Eliphas Levi]], whose influence on the Order of the Golden Dawn and on Thelema was great, rooted his Transcendental Magic (''Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie'') in a Qabalistic tradition. His ''Elements of the Kabbalah'' remains a fundamental text for the student of ceremonial magick.

It would not be an overstatement to say that the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]] was a Qabalistic organization. Its initiatory structure was based on the Tree of Life. Indeed, its entire magical system depended on the Qabalah.

===Qabalah and Thelema===

Put simply, Qabalah is a ''sine qua non'' in the practice of Thelemic magick. Aleister Crowley summarized the importance of Qabalah in "The Temple of Solomon", Liber LVII:

:''Fortunately, there is one science that can aid us, a science that, properly understood by the initiated mind, is as absolute as mathematics, more self-supporting than philosophy, a science of the spirit itself, whose teacher is God, whose method is simple as the divine Light, and subtle as the divine Fire, whose results are limpid as the divine Water, all-embracing as the divine Air, and solid as the divine Earth. Truth is the source, and Economy the course, of that marvellous stream that pours its living waters into the Ocean of apodeictic certainty, the Truth that is infinite in its infinity as the primal Truth which which it is identical is infinite in its Unity.''

:''Need we say that we speak of the holy Qabalah? O science secret, subtle, and sublime, who shall name thee without veneration, without prostration of soul, spirit, and body before thy divine Author, without exaltation of soul, spirit, and body as by His favour they bathe in His lustral and illimitable Light?''

==Principles of Qabalah==

To summarize the principles of Qabalah within this space is similar to attempting to define "love" in three words. There are, however, a few concepts that are fundamental to the Qabalah. The student '''must''' do more research beyond this article. A beginning list of sources follows.

===The Sephiroth and the Tree of Life===

[[image:treeoflife0.gif|right]]
In the original Jewish tradition, the [[sephiroth]] (singular ''sephira'') are the ten aspects or manifestations of God. They begin with the highest aspect, [[Kether]], and as the energy or concepts of God pass through creation, reaches the created world, the world humanity dwells in, [[Malkuth]].

As Kabbalistic tradition grew, kabalists conceived of an interconnected pathway between the ten Sephiroth by which the energy of the Sephiroth traveled and by which adepts could travel to gain the benefits of each Sephira. This network of pathways became known as the [[Tree of Life]].

Within the western magical tradition, the Tree was used as a kind of conceptual filing cabinet. Each sephera and path was assigned various ideas, such as gods, cards of the Tarot, astrological planets and signs, elements, etc. Within Thelema, the seminal book which defines all these correspondances is ''777'' by Aleister Crowley. To view the various correspondances from ''777'', you can start at the [[Tree of Life]] or the [[Key Scale]].

===Gematria, Notarikon, and Temura===

====Gematria====
[[Gematria]] is a method of exegesis (critical explanation or analysis of a text) used since the time of the Second Temple to derive insights into the sacred writings, to obtain interpretations of the text, or to illustrate a secular matter. The Hebrew language uses its letters to represent numbers. The first nine letters represent the numbers I to 9 respectively; the next 10 letters represent the numbers 10, 20... to 90; and the next four represent 100 to 400.

The cipher alphabet makes possible the method known in Hebrew as gematria. The term gematria is based on the Greek geometria. In talmudic times the rabbis began to mean by it "calculation" in general. In this sense, they used the numerical value of the letters of one word or verse to construct a different word or verse, the numerical value of whose letters equals that of the original passage, in order to give the original verse an added or a different meaning.

Thelemites make use of Gematria to link words and concepts and to validate revelations given to them in magical operations. Perhaps the most useful Thelemic book on Gematria is Liber D, the Sepher Sephiroth. This book is a listing of Gematric numbers and some of the words associated with their gematric values.

====Notarikon====

====Temurah====

===The "72 Names of God"===
There are three verses in the Old Testament which, in Hebrew, are made up of exactly the same number of letters. These are Exodus 14: 19-21.

14:19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

14:20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to them], but it gave light by night [to these]: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided. 

Kabbalists believe that by lining up each verse, one atop the other, and then selecting the three letters that are aligned from top to bottom (starting from the left, as Hebrew is written from left to right), one derives 72 "names of God". The nature of these verses are such that they represent great power: the power of God to part waters and call forth his angels.

The "72 names" primarily appear in Jewish Kabbalah and are particularly prevalent in the current manifestation of Kabbalah taught through the "Kabbalah Centre" in Jerusalem. (www.kabbalah.com)

"He must be absolutely at ease in his Body of Light, and have made it invulnerable. He must be adept in assuming all God-forms, in using all weapons, sigils, gestures, words, and signs. He must be familiar with the names and numbers pertinent to the work in hand. He must be alert, sensitive, and ready to exert his authority; yet courteous, gracious, patient, and sympathetic."

Rising on the Planes

Taliesin: Quoted from Liber O

==Rising on the Planes==
 Quoted in full from Liber O parts V & VI
:::::V
# Let the student be at rest in one of his prescribed [[asana|positions]], having bathed and robed with the proper decorum. Let the place of working be free from all disturbance, and let the preliminary [[purify|purifications]], [[banish|banishings]] and [[invocation|invocations]] be duly accomplished, and, lastly, let the [[incense]] be kindled.
# Let him imagine his own figure (preferably robed in the proper magical garments and armed with the proper [[magical weapons]]) as enveloping his physical body, or standing near to and in front of him.
# Let him then transfer the seat of his consciousness to that imagined figure; so that it may seem to him that he is seeing with its eyes, and hearing with its ears.
:This will usually be the great difficulty of the operation.
# Let him then cause that imagined figure to rise in the air to a great height above the earth.
# Let him then stop and look about him. (It is sometimes difficult to open the eyes.)
# Probably he will see figures approaching him, or become conscious of a landscape.
:Let him speak to such figures, and insist upon being answered, using the proper pentagrams and signs, as previously taught.
# Let him travel about at will, either with or without guidance from such figure or figures.
# Let him further employ such special invocations as will cause to appear the particular places he may wish to visit.
# Let him beware of the thousand subtle attacks and deceptions that he will experience, carefully testing the truth of all with whom he speaks.
:Thus a hostile being may appear clothed with glory; the appropriate [[pentagram]] will in such a case cause him to shrivel or decay.
# Practice will make the student infinitely wary in these matters.
# It is usually quite easy to return to the body, but should any difficulty arise, practice (again) will make the imagination fertile. For example, one may create in thought a [[chariot]] of fire with white horses, and command the [[charioteer]] to drive [[earth|earthwards]].
:It might be dangerous to go too far, or to stay too long; for fatigue must be avoided.
:The danger spoken of is that of fainting, or of obsession, or of loss of memory or other mental faculty.
# Finally, let the student cause his imagined body in which he supposes himself to have been travelling to coincide with the physical, tightening his muscles, drawing in his breath, and putting his [[sign of silence|forefinger to his lips]]. Then let him "awake" by a well-defined act of will, and soberly and accurately [[journal|record]] his experiences.

Thiebes, I want a place to discuss Thelema outside the context of religion completely. Why can't you understand that? What precisely is wrong with that?

:"We have a very different idea of what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy." --Arthur Weasley in ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets''.

[[User:Aleph|Aleph]]

:I've already changed the name to [[Non-religious Views of Thelema]]. I didn't like "Alternative" either. Feel free to write all your want on [[Thelema & Religion]]. However, as the ''author'' of the material on non-relgious views of Thelema, I think it is for ''me'' to decide what does and what does not ''ghettoize'' my writing. That was my point in quoting H.P. [[User:Aleph|Aleph]]

Copied from my talk page:

::I see the name change now. Fine.

::As for the content of your article, I'd point out that it's more than a little curious you've chosen to edit out all the other quotations of Crowley which do not go to support your case. Selective to be sure. Quite the opposite of what an encyclopedia is for, I think.

:::I didn't edit anything out. That was never in the [[Alternative Views of Thelema]] in the first place. ''You'' put that into [[Thelema & Religion]]. That's the right place for it.

::As for your authorial whatever, look, get over your writing. This is open source. You don't own your writing here. We all get to discuss and decide together, and I think that excluding the "non-religious view" from the very article which discusses what is and is not religious could be used as a textbook example of ghettoizing an idea.

:::I disagree with you. It is not just me, Ash also supported separate articles.

::As for Wiki etiquette and blanking -- as you had explicitly said that you would wait for me to implement my solution, which included eliminating the separate article. You clearly had some reservations, but you didn't let me finish what I was doing, or open it up for discussion before simply reverting my edit. THAT is definitely not wiki etiquette. My blanking of the other page, you had plenty of warning on, and you consented to wait and see. Now you're saying that I broke the rules? I think you'd like the rules to suit your fancy every time, but they don't this time.

:::I did not agree to wait for ''you'' to implement P.A.'s solution. I agreed to wait for P.A. to implement P.A.'s solution. I believe that ''he'' would have done [[Thelema & Religion]] very different. I also believe that ''you'' agree to wait for P.A. to implement his solution. So why are you the one doing it?

Thiebes, you are the MAN! You've added a ton of articles...thanks for doing such great work! —[[User:Ash|Fr. Ash]]

Hey, I see you are tackling the Zodiac articles. Thanks for helping! I've made an astrology template that should go on all the astro pages:
<nowiki>{{astrology}}</nowiki>
If you can see any improvements to be made to the [[Template:Astrology|astro template]], by all means do so.
[[User:Ash|Fr. Ash]] 22:13, 1 Mar 2005 (CST)

:I noticed - excellent! :)

hi Thiebes
do you know if we need any icons for anything, i just finished the planets and figured we could use more visual aide, if you can think of anything let me know.

Consecration

{{thelema}}
[[Purify]] with [[Water]] 
[[Banishing|Banish]] with [[Air]] 
[[Consecration|Consecrate]] with [[Fire]] 
----
In [[magick|ceremonial magick]], the concept of Consecration usually encompasses the idea of purifying the local reality with the element of Fire. This also entails the establishment of the space as holy, segregating it from the [[material plane]], and the dedication of the arena to a particular working or goal.
----
Example: 
With [[Oil]] of [[Abramelin]] draw the [[circle]] squared (x) on the area to be consecrated.

{{thelema}}
A journal or other source of documentation containing [[magick|magical]] events, experiences, ideas, and any other information that the Magician may see fit to add, to such an end that the data may propogate beyond the lifetime of the Mage. Benefits of this process vary, but usually include future analysis and further education by the individual and/or associates with whom the Magician feels comfortable in revealing such intrinsically private information.

With each entry the magical journal should include the Time, Date where the [[Sun]] [[Moon]] and any [[planet|planetary]] activity which may affect the [[magick|magical]] act. Ones actions during ritual may be influenced by what happens during one's day, if there is any emotional turmoil or a very exciting instance occurs one should make note of it.
