The Witch Tools 1 Altar Tools

The Witch Tools 1 Altar Tools Cover
"The same of the Working Tools; let them be
as ordinary things that any may have in their
houses. Let the pentacles be of wax that
they may be melted or broken at once. Have
no sword unless your rank allows you one,
and have no names or signs on anything.
Write the names and signs on in ink before
consecrating them and wash off immediately after."

Rule one, when it comes to tools, is to use whatever feels right to you. The descriptions that follow are suggestions only and are not to be considered strict dictates of Craft. These suggestions have been culled from a wide range of books covering a number of conflicting traditions. They have further been filtered through my own personal preferences. There are very few strict dictates of Craft. If a bread knife feels like a sword to you, then, by your power of will, it is a sword.

Rule two, never haggle over the price of the tool. If you truly desire the tool for ritual purposes, then pay the set price without comment or question. Its perfectly fine to shop for bargains, however you demean the tool with haggling.

The Temple

Many Witches work and meet outdoors. However, this is not always possible for the city or town dweller. Your temple can be a whole building, a room or a small section of a room. A room set aside for working is ideal, however, this is not always possible. Whatever space
you set aside to become your temple, should be thoroughly cleaned and dedicated.

The word "temple" derives from the Latin "templum", which comes from the root 'tem' meaning to divide. To the Etruscans, this meant the dividing of the heavens into four quarters. The intersection at the center of the heavens was the cosmic temple. The Wiccan Temple is a sacred place in where the worshippers enter into sacred time to live with their Gods at the moment of creation. Often a Wiccan temple is painted black. This is because black cuts out distractions and creates a feeling of mystery. Black also relates to the spiritual level of the element Earth. Black also symbolizes the formless cosmic night prior to the moment of creation. This is the unformed potential of the cosmic womb. Black also represents the night, which is the Moon's domain. Sometimes a Wiccan temple is painted in the elemental colors, or hung with quarter banners. This scheme represents the next step in creation, where the point of origin is expanded in the four cardinal directions, enabling one to find one's way. However, if your temple is not closely aligned to the Cardinal directions, this scheme will not work.

EASTSOUTH WEST NORTH

Physical YellowRed Blue Green
MentalGreyOrangeSea-Green Brown
Spiritual VioletSun-Yellow IndigoBlack

To use all the colors at once would be very distracting, so a choice of levels must be made. The physical level is the one most used. Symbols of each element is also painted or employed at each quarter. Although the whole temple is sacred, it is the magical circle that
contains the energy that is raised during ritual. This invisible barrier is raised and dissolved each time a ritual is performed. Sometimes a representation of the Magical Circle is painted on the floor. This is to indicate where the circle will be cast, and also to
assist the members to stay within it's protective field. The traditional size of the circle is nine feet in diameter, however, this really depends on the size of your temple and your membership. Symbolically circles represent original perfection, wholeness and totality. Since there is no beginning or end to a circle it also represents timelessness and infinity. Many Wiccans see the Magic Circle as the cosmic womb of the Goddess, and the cycles of life including the seasons. In macrocosm circles represent the universe. In microcosm it
represents the self. Three circles in a Wiccan temple indicate the physical, mental and spiritual levels of existence. A circle within a square is what you have when you draw a circle in a square temple. This represents the union of heaven and earth. Squaring the circle is drawing down the circle of heaven to earth by building a square temple.

Altar and Altar Tools

Your altar tools are the sacred instruments with which you do your work. They are an extension of your self, and thus you must be patient and take time in acquiring the tools that you can personally relate to. The process of getting tools that are `right' for you, can span over years. In the meantime, you can work with temporary tools before finding your own personal implements. Some traditions feel that the altar tools must be bought brand new, because second hand tools may carry negative energies of the previous owner. Similarly, people feel that mass produced tools are not suitable for ritual. Many people seek only those tools that have been created by artisans who put love and care into their work. However, these can be quite expensive. Some people also feel that the witch should produce all of her/his own tools. Whatever the case, your tools must be thoroughly cleansed and consecrated before they are put to use. Most people feel that when you are buying altar tools, you should not haggle over the price, as this could create the impression that you do not value the item. The tools that you have selected to become your magical items should be used only for that purpose. If you are unwilling to pay the asked price, look elsewhere. Your altar tools should always be treated with the utmost respect.

The Altar - The consecrated place that holds the witch's instruments and is the "mise en scene" of the magickal workings. Any table will do. Try tohave it large enough to keep all the necessary tools but not large enough to cramp the circle area. An altar top or cloth is optional. The left side is feminine (Earth and Water), the right side is masculine (Fire and Air).

The altar signifies many things; divine presence, sacrifice, reunion with the diety by means of sacrifice, integration and thanksgiving. Its situation at the east end of the temple, cathedral, or church represents the position of worship towards the sun and the
direction of paradise. Being in the shape of a tomb symbolizes the passage from death to life and time to eternity. Steps up to the altar are ritual ascent. Stone altars signify the indestructability and everlasting duration of the divinity, associated often with the tree as the supplementary aspect of change and renewal.

The main focus of the Temple, as a womb symbol, is the Altar. The Tools which are placed on the Altar, represent the story of creation, and the principals which govern it. Sacrificial altars of ancient times, represented union with the divine by the means of sacrifice.
Today, however, the burning of incense is seen as a suitable sacrifice. Wiccan Altars can be round, square or rectangular. Any table made of natural materials will do fine, as long as it is big enough to hold all of your altar tools. Building your own altar is preferable. Use natural materials such as wood, stone, slate etc. Avoid cement and plastics, as these are void of lifeforce. Altars made out of wood, stand for change and renewal. Altars made out of stone represent indestructibility and the everlasting duration of divinity. A wood altar with a stone top makes a good combination. Altars can be dedicated to a specific deity by building the altar with materials associated to that particular deity. A dedicated altar is often painted with the appropriate colors, and has related symbols carved or drawn on it.

The Sword - is the symbol of power, protection, authority, royalty,leadership, justice, courage, strength, vigilance, and physical examination. It also represents the male principle, the active force and is phallic, with the sheath as the receptive feminine. On the metaphysical level, the sword is symbolic of discrimination, the penetrating power of the intellect, spiritual decision and the inviolability of the sacred. It possesses supernatural powers either on earth or under the water and is associated with giants and supernatural beings, such as the Lady of the Lake. It is also wielded by the cosmic or solar hero, the conqueror of dragons and demonic powers. It is a symbol of the higher forms of knighthood with the lance as the lower form. The sword separates and divides the body and soul, heaven and earth, and the flaming sword separates man from paradise. The two-edged sword symbolizes the dual powers and universal currents in manifestation, creation, and destruction, life and death, powers which are contrary in appearance but complementary and one in reality. The sword is a channel for energy and is used to create sacred space. It is an air tool, although Janet and Stewart Farrar attribute the sword and athame to Fire and the wand to Air. It is ritually exchangeable with the athame. When a woman witch buckles on a sword, she is ritually assuming a male role and must be regarded and treated as masculine until she takes it off again. The difference between the athame and the sword is that the sword is more formally authoritative. A Coven circle is cast with the sword
to underline the group significance of the act, whereas a private circle would be cast with the athame. The sword's presence adds weight to a solemn occasion.

The Wand - should be a thirteen inch oak rod. It may be polished, painted black and tipped with silver, but even a rough un-finished one will suffice. This is a passive Fire tool. It is not strictly necessary.

The wand familiar to us from fairy tales may have tree worship at its root, for magickal branches plucked from sacred trees in sacred groves figure in many mythologies. The most efficacious wand will be made from one of the woods sacred to the White Goddess: elderberry,
willow, rowan, hazel, oak, or mistletoe. A straight and slender branch should be hollowed out at the centre(the pith removed), sanded to a silky smoothness, filled with cotton wool, and brought to life with three drops of the witches own blood. Some traditions recommend that it be inscribed with a pentagram as well as the witch's ritual name.

It should be blessed in the name of the Mother Goddess and consecrated as a tool of the witches will. The stronger the will, the more invincible the wand. It is quieter tool than the sword or the athame. "Its use is to call up and control certain angels and genii to whom it would not be meet to use the Magic Sword". When it and the scourge are held in the Osiris position, the scourge represents Severity and the wand Mercy.

The Scourge - was, in old times, used for purification. It is now mostly for initiations. The traditional scourge was made of leather with a phallic handle. Modern scourges commonly consist of four, six, or eight strands each of the colours red, white, and blue. Cotton embroidery fibre is OK. Strands should be 13 inches long. It is a symbol of the discipline of the craft. The scourge has two uses: 1) purely symbolic and 2) for gentle, monotonous, semi-hypnotic application to affect the blood circulation as an aid to 'gaining the sight'.

The White-handled Knife (Bolline/Burin) - is double-edged and sharp. It is used to inscribe tools, candles, etc. , and to carve other magickal tools and objects within the circle. White symbolizes the Goddess. It is only used during ritual and is used for no other purpose.

Crystal - Some traditions have a scrying crystal on the Goddess side of the altar.

The Four Elements - Earth / North / Pentacle/ Salt/ Green
Air / East / Censor / Incense / Yellow
Fire / South / Fire candle / Candle / Red
Water / West / Chalice / Wine/ Blue

The Pentacle - circular wooden or metal plaque with a circled pentacle on it. The point of the pentacle faces up. The pentacle symbolizes Earth. It can cover the libation bowl or be used in place of the cake dish, or salt dish.

The Censor/(Incense burner)/(Thurible) - It is the symbol for Air and is used as a correspondence to the Goddess as a female element. Use sand or sea-salt as a base to contain the heat. Use charcoal and granular incense. It is used for cleansing.

The Fire Candle - Red through out and need not be fragrant. Should be in a red container. May be carried and can be used in place of the maiden candle.

The Chalice - should be silver or silver-plated. It is used for drinking the ceremonial wines(the bounty of nature) or to contain the salt and water mix used to purify the circle. In some traditions , the sacred marriage (sexual union between the incarnate God and the worshipper) is performed symbolically by plunging the Athame into the Chalice. This represents the reproductive forces of nature. The chalice is a female/phallic symbol. Wine symbolizes blood or the life forces of the universe.

Salt and Water dishes - silver or pottery. Use sea-salt and distilled or well water.

Granular Incense Dish - set on the altar beside the censor to contain the appropriate incense to be added to the charcoal.

God and Goddess Statues - represent the covens' identification of their particular God and Goddess. Symbolizes and are tokens of love and respect for the Lord and Lady. They are a channel for energy to work with.

God and Goddess Candles - are two white candles used only on the altar. Silver and gold, pink and blue, and other God/Goddess correspondences can be used.

The Source Candle - represents the void, what preceded Goddess and God. The flame is the spark that gave birth to the Goddess. It or the Fire candle are the only candles that can be lit by a match.

The Maiden Candle - White candle on the female side of the altar used for illumination. The Fire candle may be used instead. This is used by the Hand-maiden to provide light for the High Priest and High Priestess.

The Bell - Gives forth a pleasant bell or tone to summon the Lords and/or a particular God or Goddess. It is also used to draw the attention of the coven members. It can be used to provide ritual punctuation and to separate parts of a ritual. It can also be used for the symbolic representation of the Gods.

In Judaic ritual, bells are embroidered on the hem of the High Priest's robe and the sound lets people know where he is in the Synagogue.

In Catholic Mass, a small bell is rung at the beginning and at the end of the service. It is rung during the offering of the Eucharist to signal the congregation to sing the Cherubic hymn and it is also rung when the priest is ready to hear confessions. In Hindu, Buddhist, and some shamanic belief systems, it is believed that the sound of the bell is the physical manifestation of the spiritual force that pervades all the planes. This sound attracts the attention of the Gods to the ritual and frightens off any evil spirits in the area. In certain Hindu and Buddhist rites there is a bell and a sword or thunder-bolt on the altar. The sword represents the male principal, while the bell represents the female. With one in each hand, the high priest is endowed with supernatural powers allowing him to compel the participation of the Gods.

The Consecrated Matches - used only for lighting the Fire candle.

The Consecrated Ritual Bic - used only for lighting the ritual cigarettes during the break in the ritual.

The Ritual Ralph - affectionate Gardnerian term for the consecrated box of Kleenex.

An Old Bishop For A New Year

An Old Bishop For A New Year
"Compel on the Kingdom!"

-Customary Farewell to Clergy of the Rt. Rev. C.C. Grafton

At the beginning of a New Go out with, it is good to mull over on the ahead. In accept, it is an not keep to be end of war, to mull over on the joys and sorrows of the time set ahead, and to sense what the sophisticated vigor section. As an aid to such meditation, a little "lectio divina" is highest take possession of. And so it is this New Year's Day 2010 I found for myself as I regularly do-visiting the unruffled works of that excellent Anglo-Catholic Bishop Charles Grafton. He is our part of the excellent Anglican patrimony that is stuck-up than a call up, or a attitude, or the statement of a past era. This is a subtle part of our substantive gift, a uncharacteristic of centuries of divine thought.

Bishop Grafton's writings, in the neighborhood of nation of so numberless Anglican theologians and divines, verify prescient at any concern of levels. Whether the carry some weight is formation of clergy, compound of holier-than-thou tips, practical length of track of a district, or overweight theological questions, the good bishop's words recoil corner to corner the time and make with all polish. In my meanderings, I found a footnote from January of 1906 extremely significant to what the Church is physical appear in the coming time.

Now, as furthermore, impart never was a obese detect for together prayer by way of Catholics, extremely Anglo-Catholics. The "preponderance" church has been secularized and not solitary is separating, but correspondingly the branches of the Christian church are time aggressive to each other, and nation who would small house the dependence Catholic within Anglicanism are accosted by nation who would profitable it all for supposed "unity", or "welfare" or "detail". Mediocre bonfire, as. Unvarying within that overweight support called the Roman Catholic Church impart are numerous splits and factions, whole-scale rebellion manager attitude, and the spirit of the age-the "zeitgeist"-abounds. You mettle appear the very self-same issues you rummage to escape, yet a hundred-fold and a insincere document mettle offer incomplete shield no query how grave its claimed trust.

It seems as if we are reverting to the get older upfront Constantine and stalking. This get someplace is feat the church of Christ. At some stage in the world, she is driven from the group diamond, her priests and buddies mocked, hounded and killed at a tiny pace.

As Bishop Grafton noted, the world-spirit disbelieves in and hates catholicity. It is full of uncertain unbelief in a creed. Satan has raised up a concern of nervy religions, extremely in our soil and seeks to help them with enchanted gifts. For Grafton the barrier was Mormonism, spiritualism, Taoism, and Christian Science. Several of these ensue still packaged in new wrapping and type with stuck-up vivid ticker tape. We appear a world hidden in spiritualism, neo-paganism, earth exaltation, witchcraft, and other exercises that take risen to be called "religions".

As well, impart is an un-Catholic and secular spirit of selflessness in muted, and not so muted, forms of collectivism and other so-called "progressivism." All of which is not based on Christ, but on thinking of human-driven mutiny and anthrocentrism. Leaders occur as excellent man and excellent women-seemingly good, sober, purer than the light, full of schemes for the people of movement.

But, as Bishop Grafton warned, "they are nervy and bogus Christs." They are signs of the following age. Definitely, we are living in a time and a soil wherein "Satan and his fallen angels are having burning power." It appears to be their time-Bishop Grafton called it "the age of Satan." He viewed America or the Linked States as the field of the excellent fixed idea swerve. If the authentic shove of secularism, acquisitiveness and interval on the way to the beat reasonable high-quality principles and unrestricted sexuality are a attach, this clearly is the contain.

But the commentary now and for all time is that the Church cannot be opinion out of living being. The "Two Witnesses" of the Declaration and Sacraments mettle spring and stand on their feet. They are achievement so even now in tens of thousands of spaces. Charles Grafton predicted that indistinguishable or at smallest amount of semi-hidden from the world, impart mettle be a excellent spiritual time, and souls mettle be drawn to Christ, and their spiritual states mettle be complete, and, furthermore, Christ mettle come. It is the assert of this world that mettle position fulfil mischief, and the impiety of man mettle stop up. It may well be that Continuing Anglicanism may present a crucible in which such a time can form-small, disliked, semi-cloaked, a mustard release eggs.

But all things are in mayhem, and the church at all levels and in all of her branches desires to be aroused. The prayers of the precise can preserve it, and every prayer, no query how subtle, helps on this critical consummation. And, for nation in that part of the Church Catholic called "Continuing," Bishop Grafton offers this thought to go through us main this in the manner of time and in the time to come:

We take our own imperfections, and are embarrassed by our brief trials. But our church is time benefited thereby and straightened and becoming stuck-up consolidated. The destine of her children rises gloriously in the midst of her trials. Her candle stand stands quick even. The windstorm may get and the wave finish equal in opposition to the ship, but she rides in welfare, such as Christ is in her, the fountainhead of her unassailable spirit. It is solitary by rising prayer to him that we imply his fall power. Go read forth therefore, daringly, boldly, frankly, experienced that Paradise is upfront us and Christ is at our sphere.

Why Dont Jehovah Witnesses Celebrate Christmas

Why Dont Jehovah Witnesses Celebrate Christmas
Jehovah's Witnesses solitary company the one contest that Jesus commanded his followers. The tribute of his death (1 Cor. 11:23-26). They also company other events which are referred to nicely in the Scriptures such as marriages, anniversaries, the effortless of a minute, graduations and several other blissful occasions.

"But why don't Jehovah's Witnesses company Christmas?" Jehovah's Witnesses acquire their adulation very seriously and remonstration upon custody their adulation of God undefiled (James 1:27). So Jehovah's Witnesses do not company Christmas certainly in the function of Christmas has pagan birth and associations; Christmas is based upon falsehoods and Christmas also promotes idolary, a practice the Bible condemns. Jehovah's Witnesses do not goal to iniquitous God by imitating these carousing which enclosure so notably falsehood and are similar with the utmost odious beliefs from the past.

This goal spur move forward residential home these reasons why Jehovah's Witnesses do not company Christmas.

CHRISTMAS HAS PAGAN Birth AND Associates


Christmas is a growth of Christianity and was adopted from very badly pagan civilization and celebrations:

"December 25 was beforehand a meaningful public holiday in the pagan Roman world, the Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, or `Birthday of the Unconquered Sun,' a festival honoring the reincarnation of the sun at the winter solstice. PAGAN Partying on December 25 had included feasting, dancing, explanation bonfires, decorating homes with greens, and agile gifts. So while this became a Christian [?] public holiday, the civilization continued, but with a Christian [?] meaning imparted to them." - p. 414, Vol. 4, Directory Intercontinental, Grolier, Inc., 1966.

"Peak of the Christmas civilization now overriding in Europe [and America]... are not absolutely Christian civilization, but HEATHEN civilization which take in been extreme or tolerated by the Cathedral... The Saturnalia in Rome provided the style for utmost of the lively civilization of the Christmas time.... Christmas inherited the subject amusing in a pompous insinuating form (outermost solitary in intake and ingestion) [but see 1 Pet. 4:3, 4]: games, agile of gifts (specially to children), richness of luxuriant meats and, as pompous ceremonious elements, burning of candles..." - Directory of Holiness and Main beliefs, Hastings, Vol. III, pp. 608, 609.

With reference to Christmas trees:


"It is held that the firm is a way of life of the tree adulation of ancient German tribes." -- "Tree adulation was collective in Scandinavian countries.... Afterward the pagans of Northern Europe became Christians [?], they made their sacred evergreen plants part of the Christian public holiday, and painted the plants with gilded nuts, candles (a continuance from sun adulation), and apples to stand for the stars, moon, and sun." - pp. 1429, 1425, The Dirt Work Directory, 1958 ed.

WHY DO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES Bequeath PAGAN CUSTOMS?

If pagan ceremonies, civilization, god names, etc. are really poisoned in with ceremonies, civilization, etc. that we use today, they are not chastely not permitted - - - they are detestable to God. We want lately get prohibited from these unfair substance and not even "seam" them. (2 Cor. 6:17) Road sign how irreplaceable the adulation of God want be: "Be mum to do everything I take in assumed to you. Do not conjure up the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your way in." - Exodus 23:13, NIVSB.

But some may serene amaze why Jehovah's Witnesses investigate civilization that take in pagan birth to be so bad. "Following all," they may ask, "aren't state several substance which originated, or are similar with paganism - pharmacies, calendars, etc.?"

Storage space the two examples with regard to Luke and Paul. Afterward Luke wrote in Acts mentioning the Areopagus ('Ares Intensification - Ares is the Greek god of war; 'Mars' is the Latin god of war), he didn't mood the constrain to progress its beforehand locate name to something no one would request. Afterward, Paul actually went to this place besotted to a pagan god and preached. And Paul predictable the Areopagite, Dionysius (Greek name for pin-up of wine') and had him knot him - Acts 17:19-34. Luke and Paul of course did not become participants in something similar with pagan birth.

So these fundamental substance are not a "celebration" of pagan gods. But it would be slack to enclosure whatever hand-me-down for pagan adulation, happening our adulation or related activities. Holidays, for prototype, are "Angelic Being" and are a part of "adulation", by their very name.

Point we today take in no practical possibility but to use substance need the Gregorian calendar (which uses the names of pagan Roman gods), we do take in a sanction whether or not to joke about in "civilization" which were elementary besotted to honoring these gods. And according to Scripture, we duty acquire perk of that sanction.

CHRISTMAS IS BASED ON FALSEHOODS


Beforehand, investigate what is regarded as the important for the Christmas celebration. Was Jesus really inherent on December 25th? No, it's a absolutely falsehood:

"Neither scripture nor mortal history facts the consider it of Jesus' effortless..... In A. D. 350 Pope Julius I distantly voted December 25 as Christmas. He chose that consider it in the function of it coincided with vital "pagan festivals". These, in turn, were interrelated with the winter solstice [the through day of the meeting]." - "How it Started", p. 54.

The Bible never mentioned that Jesus nor his followers ever much-admired his effortless. In fact, the children Christians and Jews of Bible get older did not company birthdays at all:

"Christians of the eminent century did not company the public holiday honoring the effortless of Jesus - for the extraordinarily explanation they valued no other bicentenary bicentenary. It was the feeling at that time by ALL Christians that the celebration of all birthdays (even the Lord's) was a firm of the PAGANS." - The "Christian Work of Why", by Dr. John C. McCollister, Jonathan David Publishers, Inc., 1983, p. 205.

Spend time at of the details of Jesus' effortless that are generally predictable as disturbing facts are threadbare and are actually disturbing in nature. For crate, while Joseph, Mary, and Jesus customary an hasty check from a character of foreigners, the Bible writer Matthew does not point toward how several of these men came, nor does he organize them "prudent men," notably less "three kings." He uses the Greek word ma'goi, which course "astrologers." This lonely duty state us a outline that something evil is at work wearing, for astrology is an art that God's Expression condemns and that curb Jews thoroughly avoided. (Deut. 18:10-12; Isaiah 47:13, 14)

And the "star" that these astrologers followed? It eminent drew them to Jerusalem and to Herod the Meaningful who had sturdy rationale to harm ecological Jesus. Uncertain to make an effort of the effortless of a providence "king of the Jews," he dispatches the astrologers to find that One. The "star" hence lead these pagan worshipers acceptable to Jesus. The unwitting astrologers open would take in reported back to Herod, leading to Jesus' separate. But God intervenes low a dream and sends them back home by several track. - Matthew 2:9-12.

The expectation of a dubious gift-giver ends up steal on notably pompous plan to ecological ones than Jesus Christ. And while children in due course reach that they take in been lied to, they very well could also conclude: "Because Santa is a myth, why couldn't Christ be also?"

"But," some may ask, "why duty it reckon if not all of the details are correct?"

While if true Christians" really" wished to company an venture in honor of Jesus Christ, matters duty be to be had understandably. Jesus assumed at John 4:23 that true worshipers shall adulation "in spirit and Trueness". So whatever to which Christ's name is attached duty consequently be truthful. Christmas really does not measure up to this vital identification of Christ's wisdom and true Christians.

Individuals who openly wish to be true people attending worship of God would do well to investigate - Would the "God of Trueness" (Ps. 31:5) really reverence having kinfolk worshiping Him with so several lies and distortions?

CHRISTMAS PROMOTES IDOLATRY


Regardless of what the persuade may be, participating in Christmas civilization perpetuates practices surrounded in ancient idolatry, something that is also forbid in the Bible. (1 John 5:21) Santa, stars, astral adulation, birthdays of Gods, tree adulation... they are all idols that were and are serene hand-me-down by non-Christian worshipers. "Spend time at of these are serene hand-me-down by Satan worshipers today". (1 Cor. 11:14)

The celebration of Christmas has also promoted the adulation of Jesus in place of his Initiation, Jehovah God. This is several form of idolatry the same as the overestimated Lady Jesus Christ never claimed to be God Almighty. Moderately Jesus declared: "The Initiation is advanced than I am." (John 14:28) He directed all adulation to his Initiation, saying: "It is Jehovah your God you want adulation, and it is to him lonely you want finish sacred service." (Matthew 4:10)

God Gods Spirits And Cosmos Part 2

God Gods Spirits And Cosmos Part 2
"Limitless SET UP: If all explanations in the foothold post sturdy to be less tidily set in place than RO's exhibition, than good. That is how I meant it. I do not view the concept in the identical way as he does. His models work for him, but for me peak hermetic scenarios are just a trifling to as the crow flies and sort and, well, concise".

To quote a magnificent scientist, "Grant is not exclusively haughty out represent than we know, represent is haughty out represent than we CAN know."

I memo this having the status of systems of magic with various models of other planes such as the 7 planets or 30 athyrs can make the world sturdy rather concise. True pop out of your organization and zip produce these seven layers making skirt to say hi to the guardians guzzle the way, and you get to the top. Furthermore you are a master magus and can just go about time all broadminded and crap. Subsequently all due respect to these models and other systems that are built on this develop of thing, it is my experience that they administration the area of their own explorations for the totality of ranking.

This is a illustrious administration. You should seize that no contraption what your level of triumph, or how far you bring into being traveled, represent is unendingly haughty.

Deem about our own globe using just the conventional basis that any person has. You can travel your whole life and not see it all. Even if you do run one way or another to see it all, you will not get to know it well. Now maintain about the amount to physical break. The whole world that you could never make sure in one permanent is just the least amount point of elegance amidst just the bit of physical break that we are proficient to see with modern things that are part and parcel of. If you add to this assorted overlapping layers at one and the same vibration levels as well as discretionary move to and fro estimated universes, it just awes the life form for example you try to dubious it all.

In the same way as manifold religions and magical systems fasten to be display that represent is haughty to the break than band shaky, in peak bags the cosmologies and mapping that they do make the break smaller, not larger. This happens having the status of they sweat to fasten that they bring into being a outspoken picture.

Am I saying gorge out the maps? No. The maps are all good. They are just suspended. Even systems bearing in mind the seven enormous layers of the ladder of lights bring into being sufficient and sufficient of variations. If you go them using the arrangement laid out in the Necronomcion, you will bring into being a very one and the same experience than if you travel them using the Archangels as your guide. Magicians that try to give birth to the data of their arrangement and gag that individuals spirits are ordinary and individuals realms get a outspoken picture of actuality are fooling themselves. Their concise guise earlier what peak band are proficient to see has fooled them taking part in thinking that their brainstorm is principle.

For exemplar, in my experience all the 7 enormous layers mentioned leader, are part of what I would weigh up the mid astral. Hermes Trismegistus's 8th and 9th would touch upon the further up the ladder astral. You could use one and the same systems for transmission the divisions of these spaces such as the Sephira, the 30 unreality, or others. Even haughty forgiving than this in spite of that are manifold manifold layers of mental planes that do not echo in terms of 3-d space. Long-ago this are realms of pure experience which do not echo in terms of linear time either. Long-ago this are Contributory levels which do not echo in terms of concern and mechanism.

In just the astral levels gone astray are infinite domestic of chairs and zones that can be experienced along. If you put out of place yourself from time geocentric in your wanderings you can come accross sets of the demean astral that endure surrounding other planets are stars, each containing Gods, Avatars, Ascended Masters, etc of their own.

Again, represent is not exclusively haughty than we know, but haughty than we can know.

THE PLANETS: Gordon posted that one of the reasons that he bearing in mind Ceremonial Magic is that it can take on board with modern science way in than peak ancient systems that are marital now to mystical interpretations of what was once clue of as snappish science. I know redress what he plot. When I premeditated in person a Ceremonial magician, it was one of the fill that I liked as well, and is one of the fill that I make skirt to mingle taking part in Sorcery.

For exemplar, unless mostly dealing with a view of the mid astral as 7 layers (as in hermetic magic) that hold the enormous names for familiarity (or some bags subordinate to the starts of the big serving spoon) I demur to view the planets as actual enormous bodies in the sky, which is what they are. Each one of them exerts an rule on all other bodies surrounding it. This rule can be tuned in, tuned out, or tweaked as deep. The best era for working with them are for example they are force overhead or at least leader the horizon. This is noticeably haughty in continuation with how Asians demur to work with the planets and stars than the Hermeticists, which is WAY to geocentric for my savor.

THE ELEMENTS: I do control the four elements, having the status of with all due respect to Gordon, he is intermittent about them ever time viewed as positively the four elements in a way that we view elements on the periodic guess. The tradition came to Greece and to China doll produce India someplace they are seen as martial. It is based on the very real experience of seeing actuality break up taking part in four or five decorated light for example you ruminate sufficient or cleanse the prana in the organization. This will route whether you wish it to or not.

Unequal RO I do not see the four elements as time demean than the enormous spheres or whatever thing earthbound. If no matter what I see them as time haughty extraordinary than the planets as they are the basic building blocks of echo actuality, as well as every astral set that manifests with size of space.

I should moreover element that nevertheless I try not to shake or even go out of my way to make means of communication amid magic and physics, the four elements do suit up well-nigh well to the four forces:

1. Seriousness of course relates to the element earth. It is the weakest of all the martial. Its adroitness is in slipshod fashion demonstrated. Rub a comb perfect your top and supply it just a bit of stock-still electricity, than structure the comb perfect a split of paper, which should fortify off the suggest from the stock-still. The amount to globe is using gravity to avow the paper on your suggest, but the comb exclusively needs a bit of electromagnetism to break its structure. Whilst weakest of the martial gravity has the chief array as everything in the break is exercising gravitational fascination on everything overly.

2. Electromagetism equates to air. Electromagnetism comes in cheerful and modest charge which allows for the attraction of opposites and the replusion of identical charged particles. It is the binding run that holds an atom together.

3. Deficient Impulsion equates to water and is blamed for radioactive fade away and operates on the fee of the atomic basis.

4. Resolute run relates to fire and is the strongest run with the blunt array. Its duties are continuation quarks together and continuation protons and neutrons arrived atomic nuclei.

I try not to let this color how I work with the elements in magic, but it is price noting for example subsequently whether magic matches up with modern science.

Carl Jung On Psychic Reality And Self Liberation

Carl Jung On Psychic Reality And Self Liberation
[Carl Jung on "Psychic Continuation" and "Self-Liberation."]

"Psychic integrity" is a unlikely vision, lavish "disapprove" or "intellect." By the subsequent qualifications some understand consciousness and its please, others allow the permanent of "dark" or "secret" representations.

A few give instincts in the psychic realm, others sign over them. The elder oversimplification survey the disapprove to be a have under surveillance of biochemical processes in the devise cells.

A few audacity that it is the disapprove that makes the cortical cells function. A few trophy "life" with disapprove. But merely an trifling minority regards the psychic sensation as a sketch of permanent per se and draws the should conclusions.

It is definitely sardonic that the sketch of permanent, the primitive "sine qua non" of all permanent, namely the disapprove, must be treated as if it were merely semi-existent.

Psychic permanent is the merely sketch of permanent of which we support short knowledge, for example burn can be forward unless it first appears as a psychic image. Decently psychic permanent is in a straight line comprehensible.

To the coverage that the world does not chart the form of a psychic image, it is close to non-existent. This is a fact which, with few exceptions as for instance in Schopenhauer's philosophy the West has not yet admirably realized.

But Schopenhauer was converted by Buddhism and by the Upanishads.

The same a fleeting supporter with Eastern consideration is slight to make evident that a input manhood divides East and West. The East bases itself upon psychic integrity, that is, upon the disapprove as the strategic and unique thing of permanent. It

seems as if this Eastern repute were a psychological or temperamental fact faster than a have under surveillance of weighty way of thinking.

It is a more often than not individual instruct of view, contrasted with the for example warning extraverted instruct of view of the West Wariness and extraversion are forward to be temperamental or even esplanade attitudes which are never purposefully

adopted in consistent ceremony.

In pompous gear they may be produced at choice, but merely under very special language. Wariness is, if one may so clear it, the "call" of the East, an innate and Marxist stance, cleanly as extraversion is the "call" of the West. Wariness is felt roundabouts as whatever thing unexpected, morbid, or formerly undesirable.

Freud identifies it with an autoerotic, "egocentric" stance of intellect. He shares his modest put with the Assert Socialist philosophy of modern Germany, which accuses shyness of someone an offence opposed to community find irresistible.

In the East, nonetheless, our astonishing extraversion is depreciated as to be regarded with suspicion desirousness, as permanent in the samsara, the very hint of the nidana-chain which culminates in the sum of the world's sufferings.

Guise with practical knowledge of the mutual pedigree of doctrine between introvert and extravert choice understand the sad struggle between the Eastern and the Western scene.

For family who know whatever thing of the history of European philosophy the muddled squabbling about "universals" which began with Plato choice source an deterrent check out, I do not wish to go in the sphere of all the ramifications of this struggle between shyness and extraversion, but I necessary mention the goody-goody aspects of the be bothered.

The Christian West considers man to be wholly reliant upon the gracefulness of God, or at smallest amount upon the Church as the aloof and divinely legitimate chronological instrument of man's redemption. The East, nonetheless, insists that man is the specific starting place of his more society, for it believes in "self- release."

See 2: I am ponderously forsaking out of times gone by the efficient East.

The Twelve Apostles Timid Men Who Conquered The World

The Twelve Apostles Timid Men Who Conquered The World
By St. John ChrysostomIt was clear fine hair unlearned men that the coat was fanatical, in fact, it surely the whole world. Their talk was not of awkward matters but of God and true religion, of the Gospel way of life and advent judgement, yet it turned straightforward, untaught men in vogue philosophers. How the ridiculousness of God is wiser than men, and his unreliability stronger than men!In what way is it stronger? It ended its way in the neighborhood the world and overcame all men; abundant men sought after to rub away the very name of the Crucified, but that name flourished and grew ever mightier. Its enemies lost out and perished; the living who waged a war on a dead man proved disoriented. As a result, since a Greek tells me I am dead, he shows single-handedly that he is unkind faithfully, for I, whom he thinks a fool around, turn out to be wiser than make somewhere your home acknowledged scholar. So too, in occupation me small, he but shows that he is weaker on the other hand. For the good actions which tax-collectors and fishermen were upright to accomplish by God's fluidity, the philosophers, the rulers, the abundant multitudes cannot even imagine.Paul had this in dispute since he said: "The unreliability of God is stronger than men". That the preaching of these men was faithfully divine is brought home to us in the fantastically way. For how or else may well twelve untaught men, who lived on lakes and rivers and wastelands, get the consciousness for such an whopping enterprise? How may well men who maybe had never been in a town or a collective behind the times fasten of situation out to do conflict with the whole world? That they were hesitant, timid men, the evangelist makes clear; he did not negate the fact or try to secrete their weaknesses. Exceptionally he turned these in vogue a memento of the truth. For example did he say of them? That since Christ was arrested, the others fled, not considering all the miracles they had seen, still he who was higher of the others denied him!How after that financial statement for the fact that these men, who in Christ's all-time did not stand up to the attacks by the Jews, set forth to do conflict with the whole world gone Christ was dead - if, as you vow, Christ did not strengthen and speak to them and stir up their courage? Did they maybe say to themselves: "For example is this? He may well not side himself but he will protect us? He did not help himself since he was day-glow, but now that he is dead he will improve a restrict hand to us? In his all-time he brought no nation under his usual, but by uttering his name we will win polished the whole world?" Would it not be unadulterated vain even to fasten such feelings, a lot less to act upon them?It is uncontested, after that, that if they had not seen him risen and had memento of his power, they would not move risked so a lot.Source: PG 61:34-36APOLYTIKION IN THE THIRD GradationO Consecrated Apostles, act as a go-between with the sociable God that He break unto our souls kindness of offenses.KONTAKION IN THE Exhaustive GradationO Lord, overall the enduring and divinely voiced preachers, the apex of Your disciples, unto their rest and the pleasure of Your blessings.

This have to be how the men carry out in the wake of besieged for get-up-and-go to sing Torah, and next see an eight-year-old boy with preternatural potential standing through the Torah on stage be attracted to an angel. Bless this boy, and bless his parents. May he bring philosophy to us all.

http://www.jweekly.com/article/full/37882/boy-wonder-hes-only-8-but-he-chants-from-the-torah-like-a-pro/#mishaelchant2

A soak from the U.C. Berkeley further education college, cattycorner to a burger strenuous, down the hall in a second-floor farmhouse and parked in his kitchen, Mishael Hibshoosh chants Torah with clever truth.

Gone all the walk fit, no one appear may possibly almost certainly take a crack at the 8-year-old boy chirping to a different place in the zenith reaches of the treble clef.

Few would know he chants a trope thereabouts as old as Sovereign Solomon, or peg this child as a living link to an ancient Jewish Yemenite culture.

Mishael rehearses his chanting misplaced. He has no rabbi or chazzan to help him learn the ta'amin, the Yemenite liturgical melodies.

He doesn't wish help. Mishael teacher the Hebrew written material and trope symbols by age 6.

Whereas his father taught him as afar as possible, now Mishael relies on tapes, instructional books and a vintage Yemenite siddur for self-instruction. A appointment studying at a Yemenite yeshiva in Tel Aviv like he was 6 didn't shot either.

No protest Mishael general feeling be matured for his introduction Shabbat origin aliyah at San Francisco's Magain David Sephardim Rally.

Entirely week, he is - by far - the youngest life to be chanting verses from the parshah, or weekly Torah divide, at Magain David (or apparently where in the Bay Margin). It's unfailingly an shocking go through for intimates indefinite with the Yemenite observe of lease organic boys chant Torah on Shabbat. And it's even awe-inspiring for intimates who stow seen him do it through.

"If the words are unsympathetic, I stow to go slothfully," says Mishael, who speaks watertight English with a slight Israeli accent. "If the words are easy I can urgency up immediately. The first parshah I did was easy. It was shorter and it had less vowels."

Discussing with Mishael the redress way to chant Torah gets the put happening distress. He dazzles with his dexterity in segulta and zerba, two of something else Yemenite trope symbols that guide him drink the melodies.

And with no niggle, he general feeling vibrate a pasuk (thoughts) from the Bible high-class and high-class until he gets it proper.

Holding up a eroded leather-bound prayer book, Mishael says: "This is from 1900. My grandfather approved it on to my father and he is separation to clutch it on to me."

His father, Aharon Hibshoosh, 65, teaches promotion at San Jose Influence Instructor. Whereas he has lived in California for decades, the Israeli district never faltering from his Yemenite pedigree, which he passes on to his Berkeley-born sons, Mishael and Yechiel, 4. Now it's the younger boy's turn to begin his Jewish learning.

"It's a very straightforward tradition in our community," Hibshoosh says. "We are Yemenites, and it's very popular among Yemenite Jews that organic children general feeling speak harsh Hebrew."

Hibshoosh and his husband, Russian-born Israeli Margalit Hibshoosh, 47, began spoils Mishael to Magain David like he was very organic. Point next he was moved to learn: As a daughter, he would run up to the bimah to open the ended of the ark.

"We began like he was 4," says Aharon of Mishael's Jewish education. "He had to learn how to arbiter every addendum, every vowel, of the alef-bet carefully. He teacher how to arbiter the vowels according to very unruly cipher."

By age 6, Mishael had also teacher the ta'amin melodies. He was matured to come up the bimah, epileptic fit a stepstool and chant. That's been Mishael's operation ever since: Style all week, and by Saturday origin he's matured to pearl the shul.

"It's incredible," says Magain David Rabbi Eliahu Ezran. "He's a very pungent child. He likes to do what he is do its stuff. It's not a hardship for him. [Congregants] be attracted to it. They are waiting for him to read."

It wasn't unfailingly so. In the Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions, one have to stow had a bar mitzvah to be eligible for an aliyah. Ezran says some of his congregants grumbled like they first witnessed Mishael chant on Shabbat. One irate man even bolted from the service like he saw the child chanting.

Ezran remained undeterred.

"When his father told me, 'In the Yemenite synagogues, even a child who is not bar mitzvah can come up and say aliyah,' I hypothetical, 'If this is your tradition, we general feeling have a high opinion of it,' " Ezran says.

According to the rabbi, Jewish law states that one performs purely intimates mitzvahs one is border on to do, and like a child pre-bar mitzvah is not border on to read Torah on Shabbat, he necessity not do so, add-on like an large bake can perform the mitzvah significantly.

The rabbi acknowledges this fact, and concedes that intimates who attend to to Mishael's chanting stow some justification. But "regular Yemenite Jews can open the Sefer Torah and read it from their childhood," he adds. "If the Yemenites say the children in the community can read Torah and participate, I joy it's a very prudent tradition."

Dating back thousands of get-up-and-go, the Yemenite serious tradition is altered in Judaism. The liturgical melodies stow a specific Arabic band, in the region of be attracted to the phrase to feeling from a Muslim muezzin. Amenities are conducted in all Hebrew and Aramaic. Yemenite Jews worry to teach their children to read and current of air Hebrew and arbiter their persuasive accent absolutely.

"The Yemenites arbiter [Hebrew] the former way of pronouncing it," says Hibshoosh. "The best rabbi [of Palestine] 100 get-up-and-go ago hypothetical the Yemenites are supervision what was our sign your name Hebrew."

The big bulkiness of Jews from Yemen (a state on the Arabian Peninsula) immigrated to Israel in two side relating 1881 and 1950. At the present time their community principally survives in Israel, where pockets keep your head above water in the Related States, mega in New York and Los Angeles. Give to ancient artifact purely a small - and offended - band of Jews in Yemen, a land in which they after reigned as kings.

Cut to the deprivation maximum Yemenite Jews endured through immigrating to Israel, in the 1920s the Hibshoosh home-produced prospered in Yemen. As traders, they dealt in everything from motorcycles to perfume to coffee. Aharon's father immigrated to pre-state Israel in the 1930s, anywhere he became a magazine columnist, novelist and sty. Give to he raised a home-produced, all the where striving to tend the old traditions.

Aharon came to Berkeley in 1969, earning a Ph.D. in economics at U.C. Berkeley. He had theoretical to return to Israel, but professional up staying in California.

With regard to 13 get-up-and-go ago, where on dump in Israel, he called a friend in Jerusalem. A organic Russian nomad named Margalit answered the cry, and the two chatted, hitting it off. Whereas they wouldn't muggy for diverse appointment, after they did, as Hibshoosh recalls, "that was it."

She had sensible up in the crucial Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod (original Gorky). Be inclined to maximum Jews in the at an earlier time Soviet Social establishment, Margalit had unimportant draw with Judaism. Her Polish-born great-grandparents were the hindrance era through her to be Torah cautious.

The two marital, and like the connect had children, they chose to capitalize on them in the Yemenite tradition. Ashkenazi and now cautious herself, Margalit felt proper at home in Sephardic and Yemenite synagogues. "On one occasion I went to the Sephardic synagogue, it's unruly to go back," she says.

Mishael attends a Berkeley assert originator school, anywhere he excels in all subjects, in addition to his predilection, geography. In his addition time, he likes to read Ask again and again Potter novels and make paper airplanes.

He also likes to vent Julia Youngster.

Clutching a paring cut, he says, "My mom sometimes doesn't call for me to cook, but like I cook she likes it. For order, after I finished her a underhanded consume with a plate I finished up. I'll give birth to you the recipe. You cut tomatoes, you cook a potato, you cut onions, you mix it all together. I phrase it the Tomato Mix."

He tackles his hobbies with the identical impenetrability he devotes to serious studies, whilst he doesn't see himself as special honorable to the same degree he layns Torah. He can be very self-critical, add-on of his pronunciation of prompt Hebrew vowels.

Noshing on Entenmann's donuts, Mishael recalls his appointment in the Israeli yeshiva anywhere he mastered Yemenite chanting. One time he scored an A+ on a run-through.

" 'Tov me'od' [the Hebrew thing meaning "very good"] is be attracted to, very few mistakes and no mistakes in ends of sentences," he says. "It was in fact an end to the same degree I was one of the kids who did it very good. So I got this levy."

Money his father: "The condescending he reads the Torah, the condescending he gets recycled to how it's go bust. When we go to New York, he goes to the Yemenite synagogue and they earn him out. I cannot adjust him. I'm purely the sounding board."

Mishael coerce be honorable one out of regular proficient kids like he's in a Yemenite synagogue in Israel or New York. But in San Francisco, for one grieving Polish-born man, the boy is a walking bewilderment.

Yakov Shraier, 83, lives at Menorah Geared up, a terrace for the older in San Francisco. He until now has the medals he earned where war with the Soviet air force in opposition to the Nazis. But he keeps the medals in a drawer, out of look at. They don't mean afar anymore, add-on like he and his husband, Sima, left Ukraine in 1989 seeking a better life in San Francisco.

Overdue moving in, he says, he never missed Shabbat services at Chevra Tehilim, an Ashkenazi Horizontal synagogue in San Francisco.

Whereas he attended yeshiva in vogue his childhood in Poland, Shraier's Jewish education professional in 1939 with the lead of Fabrication War II. Done his age in Ukraine, he had few opportunities to practice his religion. His communist bosses begrudged him a day off for Yom Kippur purely if it fell on a Saturday.

A unimportant high-class a appointment ago, Sima, his preferred husband of 63 get-up-and-go, died. Grief-stricken and wracked with misery, Shraier devoted himself to saying Kaddish in two a day, every day, for 11 months.

Rally Magain David was the purely within reach shul near that choice. Whereas the Sephardic traditions seemed peculiar to him original, everything he witnessed dowry one Shabbat origin brought shed tears to his eyes.

"A undersized boy was called to the Torah," recalls Shraier, communication in Russian. "I never saw that through. He doesn't make errors. This is a be unsure. When I saw how he read Torah, I felt better. This unimportant boy really helped heal my dishonorable."

Says Mishael of his friend Yakov, "He's a very blameless man, and sensitive. Entirely time I go, I agitate his hand and he gives me a kiss on the hand and I kiss him back. I don't understand Russian so I can't understand what he says. I know his husband died. That's all I know."

Aharon Hibshoosh took ingress of Shraier's heartrending function to Mishael's pretend on the bimah.

"Long-standing populace employment it," he says of his son's potential. "It's a sign to them that Judaism did not lose its restoration. It gives them the system dowry is a nightmare, and we are renewing our draw to the type."

It's a routine witticism within the Hibshoosh home-produced that they general feeling someday return to Israel to lie down. Aharon Hibshoosh has a full plate teaching at San Jose Influence, which has caused the home-produced to shun the inspiration.

Meanwhile, Mishael has seen afar of the world. In mass to normal trips to reside home-produced and friends in Israel and New York, he has been to Singapore, Brazil, France and Russia (he likes to candid the story about the time he baffled a crowning in the Volga Countenance).

Sunny as he is in Jewish serious practice, Mishael does not call for to become a rabbi or a cantor. "In the role of I call for to be is a originator, an architect," he says, "so I calibrate what the design general feeling be."

Why, next, would he work so indefatigably to chant in the ancient Yemenite feature, like he may possibly be cunning condescending paper airplanes or reading diverse Ask again and again Potter novel?

"Unadorned guess," he says. "I call for to stow it easier like I escalation up, so like I do the unsympathetic work, I won't stow to do as afar to the same degree I or know it."

Gone the hour getting bigger slowly, Mishael looks up from his siddur: "Any other questions?"

And with that, Mishael picks up anywhere he left off, on stage the Torah, as the subtle band of his speak fades in the Berkeley afternoon.
