Scrying the “Inner Aethyr” of TRATOMB

Enochian is an interesting practice because there are many suggestions that it’s intended to be expanded from the source material of John Dee’s diaries. First, it embodies the idea of continuous revelation, which is to say that the Divine continues to reveal itself to us, because Dee and Edward Kelley literally petitioned God for knowledge, understanding, wisdom, etc. Second, because it’s been reconstructed from lost material, we have to make do with the information that we have and fill in the gaps in the material. Third, there are times in the source material itself that the angels hint at additional material, such as the 30 additional Parts of Earth (for a total of 121, or 11 squared) or the hints that a different Holy Table may be ultimately used, which differs from the original one received.

So it was that I found myself looking at the notes on my phone that I took when creating the Book of Silvered Leaves: a 31st “inner” Aethyr that I just forgot about (LOL–remember to take notes, kids!) by the name of TRATOMB. Unlike the first 30 Aethyrs, this one’s name is seven letters long, which means that all the letters in these Aethyrs (so far) total 97. This is an interesting parallel to me between the Book of Silvered Leaves (96 leaves across 48 pages) and the Book Amzes Naghezes Hardeh (commonly known as Liber Loagaeth, which is 98 leaves across 49 pages–though there are 101 tables in all on it).

I recently scried this Aethyr and the pertinent parts from the vision are below:

I began by seeing four separate circles in a row, with the 3rd one offset downward, reminding me of the dip in a ladle. The four circles seemed like the Tetragrammaton to me. Then they arranged themselves as the base of a square pyramid (a symbol which appeared to me during my reconstructed gebofal ritual). They then told me to imagine these five points as a 5-cell rather than a square pyramid.

Next, I saw eight circles at the points of a cube. The circles then continued to increase according to the Fibonacci sequence. I reflected on how adding or subtracting 1 to elements of the Enochian system got you interesting results: 4 watchtowers plus one gets you 5, the fifth Fibonacci integer; the seven kings of the Heptarchia plus the one king over them (Carmara) gets you to 8, the sixth Fibonacci integer. 12 zodiacal kings plus one gets you 13, the seventh Fibonacci integer (Carmara has noted to me that, as Marmara, he also is the high king over the zodiacal kings); note that the dimensions of the watchtowers are 12 by 13. The 21 letters of the Enochian alphabet themselves are the eighth Fibonacci integer, and adding 1 comes to 22, the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet.

When it comes to reversals (the angels liked to reverse things, quoting Christ in Matthew, and numbers are no exception), 13 is the reverse of 31 (the Gematria value of one Hebrew name for God, El), 21 is the reverse of 12 (the number of apostles, tribes of Israel, signs of the zodiac, etc.).

At this point in the vision, I made an odd error–I added 21 to 8, not 13. I say that this is odd because I very rarely make arithmetic errors or mathematical errors in general (you’ll just have to take my word for it). At any rate, this led me to 29, which is an important Enochian number (see my summary of the number 29 as part of a larger analysis; a possibly easier to read summary, which follows from a more general introduction to Enochian, can be found in my Telicom article reprint). From here I added this to 21 and got 50, which is of course important in Gematria. This got me thinking about a potential alternatives to Fibonacci: 1,1,2,3,5,7 (5+2),12,19,31,50,81,112 (81+31–112 is the original number of letters in the vision given to Edward Kelley for Leaf 49)–every 6th number adds the previous number with the number two places back (rather than one).

Next, the angels pointed to the need to both add and subtract 1; subtracting from 4, you get 3, the number of points need to make a plane (note that Galvah mentioned “The Mystery of the Trinity”). 4 itself is the minimum number of points for the simplest 3D solid, a tetrahedron, while 5 is the minimum number for a hyperspace object, the aforementioned 5-cell. From 8, you can subtract to 7 (the septenary nature of Enochian), or up to 9, the trinity squared. From 13 (Christ and the apostles, Israel and his sons) you can go down to 12 or up to 14 (the number of kings and princes in the Heptarchy). From 21, you can go down to 20–half of 40 (cells in the outer ring of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, Christ’s days in the desert, Noah’s days on the ark), or up to 22 as mentioned above. From 29 you can go down to 28 (Enochian’s 7 times the 4 watchtowers) or up to 30 (the number of Aethyrs received by Dee, the number of degrees in each sign of the zodiac). Ultimately the angels told me to look up the geometry, which is mostly done here–leave a comment if you find more interesting geometrical parallels.

Next the angels show me a light and a fractal pattern, then a golden ratio, but the angels are specific that I ought to think of this more as a fractal pattern. The golden ratio is an irregular number which converges after a long series, whereas a fractal pattern is regular from the beginning; “As above, so below, and as below, so above.” The angels show me that the light is coming through in this vision, and shows me my “point” along this fractal pattern, and show me that within, the pattern continues in a shrinking fashion, and without, it continues in a growing fashion. It’s up to the heart to rectify itself to the fractal of divinity, to “get out of its stupor” (misalignment of consciousness from the Divine).

When we move ourselves into the clear-light consciousness, because the “outer” world is not yet rectified with the Divine, there is the “skew” that CodyP has talked about, which slightly misaligns us once more out of the fractal of the Divine. The nature of the “Great Work” is to do the difficult thing of compensating for the dynamic skew. I ask, “How do I do this for myself? What is it that keeps me here?” The Divine answers, “It’s partly karma”–in the sense of how every seeker must undo a lot in their ecosystem. Because of the karma, we overly identify with the karma. We need to release ourselves from this thinking, and allow the fact that it’s going to take time. The Divine does what he can, knocking out some obstacles in my head, heart, and in the rest of my system. The Divine repeats to “just be patient, just do the work, just keep doing the work: that’s all you ever need to do,” and laughs gently. The Divine shows me one part in particular with respect to a major recent event in my life, he knocks the obstacle in my heart out there, too–allowing a greater freedom within these circumstances.

I see a large sphere that is being held by a space taken up by a cone, or more precisely a line that is rotating about an axis to create a cone. The xy-axis is not quite able to spin at the appropriate rate for the sphere to stay in the same level; this is a metaphor for the heart not being able to stay in the clear light. How does the heart compensate for this? It needs to find the bias within that is reflected in the bias without and somehow compensate for it. Part of it is working through the “unreality” or misconception or “lower-level” thinking that happens when one tries to armor the heart against the outside world. One also needs to compensate for the fact that not everyone else has done that yet and to allow for that. In that allowing and in that constant work of compassion and wisdom–yet not identifying with or craving a particular end-result of that compassion and wisdom–just allowing one’s heart to be in that space. Wisdom essentially allows one to be as effective as possible at one’s compassion, but the highest wisdom is not getting caught up in the particular results.

The vision ends and I feel very uplifted.

On Galvah & Her Mathematical and Astrological Aspects

With my recent Enochian workings, I have usually taken to working with Marmara/Carmara, the angel who is something of a high king to the Heptarchy (closest to Baligon, king of Venus—“Love conquers all”!) but also, in my experience, also seems to be high king over (or at least working in concert with) the zodiacal angelic kings. In concert with Marmara, I usually work with Galvah (and also have worked with a form of her in practices outside of Enochian proper). Aaron Leitch did an excellent write-up of Galvah last year and relates her to the mother in heaven in Revelation 12, a theory I see no reason to oppose. There’s also reason to relate her to the Mother of Life in Manicheanism, part of the World of Light (note that 28 of the angels on the Sigillum Dei Aemeth are in four groups: the Sons, Daughters, Sons of Sons, and Daughters of Daughters of Light). I won’t repeat much of what Leitch has written, but wanted to draw out some of the astrological and mathematical information associated with this mother as presented in Revelations, using the KJV translation. This would have been available shortly after Dee’s death and likely reflects some of the theology of the time—though surely can’t be thought as highly representative, given the upheaval in late medieval/early Renaissance England.

First, the obvious: verse one described the mother in heaven as “clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of 12 stars.” This is clearly a reference to the ecliptic, the 12 signs of the zodiac, and either a south node lunar eclipse (the south node representing the tail/feet) or the general sense of the moon being the lesser of the two luminaries (giving less intense but also borrowed light).

Verses 2 and 5 suggest speak of her giving birth to a son “who was to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” This parallels Manichaeism, in which the Mother of Life giving birth to the Original Man who is sent to Earth (this makes sense, given Manichaeism was influenced by early Christianity).

Verses 3 and 4 describe a dragon with seven heads and 10 horns. Seven of course parallels the number of classical astrological planets: the aforementioned luminaries as well as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Note that we go from the fixed stars (zodiac) to the more volatile planets: this reminds me of SHWEP’s episode Silent Encounters (brought to us by the unmatchrd Earl Fontainelle), which includes a review of how the fixed stars were considered more divine. In The Ogdoad Reveals the Ennead (or Discourse on the Eighth & the Ninth); the eighth sphere is that of the fixed stars (and that there is a ninth sphere also a hint of a tenth sphere beyond it). Also included in that episode is a reference to ten divine powers in Corpus XIII, “hidden hymn,” which interestingly “purge [Tat] of zodiacal influence” according to Fontainellle. So we see a bit of an opposition between the number 10 and the zodiac across these various texts.

Returning to Revelations 12: Verse 6 has the mother flee into the wilderness for “a thousand two hundred and threescore days,” or 1260 days. 1260 is 35*36, a near square (note that each of the watchtower tablets is 12×13, another near square). 1260 is 2^2 * 3^2 * 5 * 7, the first four primes, with the first two squared, and all four—even the first two squares, 4 and 9–being less than 10. 4 and 9 together, of course, together are reminiscent of 49, the number of leaves of Amzes Naghezes Hardeh and the square of the number 7 which is repeated so often in Enochian. 1260 days is just under 3.5 years (half of 7, or 1/10 of 5*7). The other references to the mother are in verses 14, in which the mother is “given wings of a great eagle“ (like an angel!) and flies to a great wilderness, to be nourished away from the serpent (Satan) for (switching to the NIV here) “a time, times, and half a time,” which is a minimum of 3.5 (the same number we’ve seen before—indeed much of this verse repeats verse 6). Finally, in verse 16, the mother is aided by the Earth itself: “as above, so below.”

As I’ve come to discover, there’s a lot of astrology to be found if you revisit the Bible. However, I wasn’t expecting later Hermetic astrology and Manichaeism to parallel Revelations so strongly!

Zodiacal Table and Lamen: Effects

I wanted to briefly touch on the zodiacal tools (lamen and table) effects in the event that others have been inspired to use it. For this, I am drawing both from my first time calling the zodiacal kings forth in April, the first time that I scried LIL with both the Zodiacal Lamen and Zodiacal Holy Table, and finally some clarifying questions to the zodiacal kings today. I’ll note that for both times I called on the Zodiacal kings, it was the king associated with my rising sign (ascendant) who appeared first. I recommend calling forth all 12 kings and seeking reconciliation towards their energies. I have found all of their prophetic sayings to be accurate.

The main quote that I received during my scrying LIL to consider the zodiacal energies called forth to be like nuclear fusion: “Things are brought together and the energy therein is contained through the massiveness of the process.” I strongly encourage a general review of nuclear fusion in order for the rest of this post to be clear.

First and foremost, my preliminary view is that zodiacal workings are is both potent and subtle, so be prepared for unexpected effects. Beyond this, the zodiacal forces that have arisen have been contra-antiscia to those in my natal chart, an astrological aspect which I have previously noted on the Holy Table of Practice transmitted to Dee & Kelley. Contra-antiscia signifies energies which are balanced across the equinox line (or plane) of 0 degrees Aries to 0 degrees Libra. Equinoxes are literal moments of balance: both the northern and southern hemispheres have days and nights of equal length (Libra, of course, means “scales” in Latin). Therefore, bringing in energies contra-antiscia to one’s own suggests attempting to balance one’s own astrological energies with a complement, with the overall result being a greater alignment with the zodiacal influences when they are at their most balanced.

Note that nuclear fusion is also a balance of massive energies–the energy of plasma as well as the energy needed to contain such plasma (the latter coming in the form of massive gravity or, on Earth, very strong artificial magnetic fields). This is in line with the phrase “massiveness of the process” in that the 360 degrees of the zodiac (if thought of as spaces looking like wedges of an orange expanded out in all directions) represent the whole of the universe, or perhaps the Divine itself. My reflection on this is to prepare oneself for influences to which one has previously been blinded, but which have an underlying recognizability when they arise in one’s life.

Today, the angels in particular mentioned that there are also antiscia elements of the zodiacal energies which they rarely stir up, specifically, to quote my friend CodyP, they volatize the fixed and fix the volatile. At times they first do one and then the other, returning the individual to their original level of dynamism. Here, they used the analogy of a caterpillar, which becomes fixed in its chrysalis form, and then volatile (or more dynamic) as a butterfly. It is rare for someone to be the focus of only this antiscia energy, they said, and would be used for someone who is either fossilized or flailing. The effect of the antiscia would be like a slingshot. Here they gave a different analogy of an asteroid making a parabola around the sun, moving from kinetic energy to potential and then back to kinetic energy again. The effects of the antiscia energy would be to not necessarily change their energetic nature but to change the course of that energy for the best possible outcome.

I strongly suspect that the magician working with these zodiacal energies would do little but open the door to the Divine, and let His mysterious ways issue forth.

Gebofal, Day 46

Sunrise: Call/Key 4, (typically referred to as Call 3 by practitioners, for the true first call is “not to be spoken”). Call to King Carmara, Prince Hagonel, and Kings Bnaspol, Bnapsen, and Bobogel.

This feels quite a bit like a culmination. I feel a big rush of air into my subtle body. It’s like I can finally breathe or something, at a fundamental level. Elemental air is being imprinted on my, and I’m seeing the four elemental kings impart unto me this energy, an elemental imprinting. It’s very deep, and it’s reinforcing everything that I’ve done to this point.

King Carmara steps forward, and says, “Yes, this be the culmination of all of the elements with which you have worked before. Feel now them in their fullness.

“Let us speak briefly now on the powers of Natural Substances and Medicine [of air],” he transitions. “Of course, air be one of the highest things that somebody needs in order to survive. It must be constant, and cannot be cut off for more than a few moments. This be the main Medicine: the medicine which allows the quickest expulsion as well as the quickest intake of the most fundamental things needed to survive, for aerobic species. And so one can make a similar case for plants.”

Taking a brief look at how this would work, King Carmara continues. “Any medicine that would involve opening airways, any medicines [i.e., medical equipment] involving avoiding pathogens or allergens in the air, as well as any medicines involving or treating” the latter, and “any inhalable treatments: such would be related to [elemental air] medicine. And of course, all medicines related to the lungs, as well as the function of the heart insomuch as it can provide oxygen to the individual” would be the powers of Medicine as it relates to elemental Air.

Turning to Natural Substances with respect to elemental air: “The general understanding, developing, [and] tossing around ideas about natural substances: this be of [the power of Natural Substances of elemental] air. The understanding of fluid dynamics insofar as they pertain to air–to some extent this be of [elemental] water, but there is a slightly different sort of physics involved in that, and in engineering. Understanding the natural state of air, as it were, and how it actually operates: such be of the power of [Natural Substances of elemental] air.”

King Carmara advises, “Yes, we can explicate this [into powers by astrological sign], but it would be a waste of your time. You will ponder this and meditate and find more and more powers of Natural Substances [and Medicine] related to [elemental] air.” He appends, “By the way, all of the natural substances and the phase shifts from liquid to gas, or via sublimation: this would also be of the [power of] Natural Substances of air, and why and how that happens [would be included in that].” He remarks on the similar application of this to water.

Now King Carmara returns to his intent, which was to change the topic. “You have called upon me at five different points, and have called upon five kings”–actually five royals, for princes were included–“at five different points.” Note: in addition, I just noticed how this came to 36 calls to royals (technically 108 if you count the fact that calls were made three times per day). Again, we have a numerical link from the quaternary Watchtower calls back to the 360 degree circle, via the astrological decans. The quinary reference that King Carmara brings in reflects the five tables of Leaf 49.

King Carmara continues: “If one decouples the 7 [into integer addends about the median], one obtains the 4 and the 3. If one decouples the 5, one obtains 3 and 2. Let us look to the taking in of air as the completion of the four elements within you. Let us speak briefly about Adam Qadmon,” and with a grand gesture, he indicates that he is speaking on behalf of the four elemental kings as well. He briefly notes that the four elemental kings are assigned to the 12 signs of the zodiac, over which the 7 planets rule. King Carmara says that he brings in the power of the 3 to both multiply the 4 elements into the 12 signs (as cardinality, fixity, and mutability) and also via the mystery of his addition, there be 7 [classical astrological] planets in all.

I try to concentrate further. King Carmara says to me, “What you seek with respect to the mystery of this trinity will be revealed unto you tomorrow, and two days hence, and three days hence. So, rest easy, for yes, some of what you have already come to understand has been revealed unto you. The ‘two sides of the same coin’ and the ‘mediation,’ as the Lord God himself hath said unto thee.” He also has me consider the One and the Wholeness, the Unity and Multiplicity, “For the One can be added to Itself to obtain any given number, but all numbers which exist lie within Multiplicity.” So it is that process of Adding, he says, that can be considered the Third (with the One and Wholeness), the Mediation: the Manipulation of a number upon itself, or any given number upon another number.

So this is a very deep thing that he is saying. “Whatever you take and manipulate, that manipulation be that third element.” Now he relates it back to that vision of Heaven and Earth, with the four elements from the realm of Adam Qadmon reaching toward that transition point between them. “The supernals themselves are constantly in this manipulation, because they must be, but when it comes to the realm of Adam Qadmon, there is a greater, and a more magical, means of working with and integrating oneself into the process by which rules are changed, by which operations be done upon that which exists,” (including, it seems, to the rules themselves). “We learn so much mathematics in order to understand the ‘how to’ and the ‘why to’ do so, and to do so with precision, and it is that precision which is important. It must not be overlooked. By this, all things may be unfolded.

“Much more will the Lord God Himself reveal unto you, but this itself” will be imprinted upon me, he concludes, and abruptly the vision ends.

Noon: Similar procedure.

I’m feeling some tingling come up for the seals and tablet underneath my feet. I’m feeling my heart. Once again, I feel this beautiful breath, and it’s like I’m reconciled with elemental air. Once again, I’m feeling the four elemental kings impress and deepen this connection to the elements within my subtle body. They do not have anything to say.

King Carmara comes forward to speak: “O Son of Man, Son of God, Son of earth: something new and strange and wondrous is to come about you. Be thou perfectly balanced, now and hereafter, in the elements. So mote it be, so mote it be, so mote it be: amen, amen, amen!”

I’m being taken up into the sky, and getting the sense that I’m astrally in the atmosphere of Earth but also that of Heaven. The five heptarchical royals, as well as the four elemental kings are here about me. The four elemental kings form a cross formation about me, as do the four heptarchical kings in a separate formation (I presume Prince Hagonel was behind King Carmara): King Bnaspol to Earth, King Bobogel to Fire, King Bnapsen to Air, and King Carmara chooses his place at water, but notes that he speaks for all of them, and that no one element is above or below another.

King Carmara begins to speak, and all of the angels rotate about me as he does: “Blessed are you, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth: who now be balanced within fire, within air, within earth, and within water.” I see this aerial sphere about me, with the subquadrants within it, as yesterday, but now I’m seeing that it is the last of four elemental spheres. I’m within four concentric spheres, and I’m at the center, and indeed, my heart is at the very center.

King Carmara continues: “May thus these imprintings be upon you forever. May the Lord God grant His Wisdom unto you in using them. More hath the Lord God to speak on this to you tomorrow, on Friday, and on Saturday, when in His great Mercy, he allows you to read from Leaf 1.”

I’m feeling very gentle and relaxed and balanced. “More shall I have to say to you–the last of what I can say to you–this evening, but for now rejoice in the balance the Lord God has granted unto you.”

Thus ends the vision.

Sunset: Similar procedure.

I’m bidden once again to sit back and relax. Once again there’s this feeling that I can breathe, and in this knowing of the breath, I’m bidden once more to relax in this perfect balance (of the elements): “Given to you by the Most High,” says King Carmara.

Once again the elemental kings surround me in a cross formation. They place their hands upon me to imprint each of the elements upon me once again. King Carmara and Prince Hagonel and Kings Bnaspol, Bnapsen, and Bobogel are here as well. Now I see the remaining kings and their princes, and a vast host of all of the angels whom I have called.

This host of angels is quite vast, and I’m told to just relax. The tempo suddenly snaps into urgent rapidity, and they all fly into me right now (and I’m told to just relax again), and they’re all just coming in. It’s like they’re all birds flying through an intangible, transparent mountain at rapid speeds: a vast, vast number, whirring so quickly through it, diving like peregrine falcons toward their prey, into the deep! It is all just too fast to keep up with, and the angels themselves are creating interlocking patterns of Möbius strips, and now Klein bottles, in this constant rotation.

They say to relax, and I do, and I feel them embedding themselves in my system now, forever embedded, forever a part of me, and I’m feeling the Most High say unto me, “Behold, this be but the beginning of the Marvels that I will show unto you: marvelously will I work Wonders in you and through you.” I feel my heart lifted up, and I feel it held by the Most High in His hands, and it is like He is admiring a stone, and He places it within His Heart, and it is like a perfect fit, and His Heart be transparent, and His Heart be capable of having millions of hearts within it.

And He says, “Behold!” and he shows me millions of hearts which have been embedded within It: millions upon millions of beautiful hearts, each one of them like unto mine, yet unique in their own way, just like mine be unique unto Him! He wraps His Arms around Himself and gives Himself: it’s as if it makes His day to feel my heart within His own Self.

He says unto me, “Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth: behold! Lo, such wonderful energy which flows through you: now, prepare you to be completely transformed as a most loyal servant unto Me, the Most High, thy God. I love thee, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth! Feel now, forever, the permanent influence of PRONOA throughout thee, and, lo: much will I have to show unto you tomorrow. Be prepared, o Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth, for not all will be ready for this: such glory hath the lord to await for thee.”

And I feel myself writhing around in this glorious ecstasy, and He places His Hand upon me and gives me such peace, and says, “No more have I to say unto you now, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth, but, lo: the next three days shalt thou arise.”

Thus ends the vision.

Gebofal, Day 44

Sunrise: Call/Key (spoken) 6 (most practitioners refer to this as call 5). Call to, in order, King Carmara, Prince Hagonel, King Blumaza, Prince Bralges, and King Bynepor. Vibrated God names “OIP,” “TEAA,” and “PDOCE.” Vibrated names of Governors Occodon, Pascomb, Valgars (Aethyr of LIL); Oddiorg, Cralpir, Doanin (ZIP); Torzoxi, Abriond, Omagrap (POP); Vastrim, Odraxti, and Gomziam (RII). Vibrated names of Zodiacal Kings Zarzilg, Zinggen, Alpudus (LIL); Hononol, Lavavoth, Zarzilg (ZIP); Arfaolg, Cadaamp, Zinggen (POP); Hononol, Zarnaah, and Arfaolg (RII).

I see quite the large host, for each king/prince dyad has with them 42 ministers, and of course I called on the massive number of servient angels to each of the zodiacal king/governor dyads in their respective Aethyrs. King Carmara steps forward in a grand sweeping gesture in their direction, as if to acknowledge the distinct honor that he has to speak for all of them to me today.

He says, “Once more will you call me, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth, but let us now attend to the matter at hand.” He notes that the reason why 69636, the largest of all of the numbers referenced in the Watchtower calls, is associated with this particular tablet (i.e., the water tablet) on this particular day with me is to reinforce the preferential treatment that water has received among the Zodiacal King assignments across all of the Aethyrs (27 out of 91).

Speaking to Natural Substances and Medicine with respect to elemental water, first King Carmara notes the obvious: medicine dissolves in water. It is the medicine which moves into all different forms of aqueous solutions, including within cells. He notes that if Medicine be food (i.e., a change in diet to treat a condition), then one can liken this unto Cancer. If medicine be the actual injection, that can be likened unto Scorpio. If medicine be likened unto the vast ocean whereby many a wondrous thing can be discovered, in the sense that the human body is like unto a self-contained miniature ocean, then one can associate that with Pisces.

King Carmara says that he is saying all of this as a preview to the noon scrying, but that this pretty much covers it, and that at the solar noon scrying we may not need to get into it. With respect to Natural Substances with respect to water: first of all, water can dissolve away, and can be used as a solvent whereby one can, for example sift, dissolve another precipitate into it if it be an aqueous solution, thereby causing the reaction to find out exactly what was dissolved into the water in the first place. Water brings with it the means of transporting, but generally, without as an intermediary, such would not be possible, or if possible then not as easy.

When it comes to the delving aspect of Natural Substances, of delving into what there is to be found with Natural Substances: clearly Scorpio is good at this. They also say that the sheer burst of water, that targeted water that can blast away is like unto Scorpio. Here they compare this with an archaeological dig, whereby a gentle water could be used to gently wash away a finding, but if it’s something solid, such as an ore, that is being unearthed, then the means of uncovering the natural substance by washing away with a heavy stream would fall under Scorpio. Finally, when it comes Cancer, here, again one can consider armor, and all of the armoring aspects. Here I must concentrate to hear him readily. He bids me consider the lunary realm, whereby all of the elements receive their final disposition before being made manifest in the sublunary. Any interest in what the classical elements are would fall under Cancer. There’s also that emotional sense of how Natural Substances can tie us all together. For example, food can bring nourishment to all sorts of persons, and the distributing of it can bring that emotional connection within groups, for example.

I continue to try hard to concentrate. The abundance–and now I feel King Bynepor’s influence increased (recall that Jupiter is exalted in Cancer)–the tendency of substances to arrange themselves in ways that have a deep, core emotional meaning, which is somewhat mysterious, of this lunar nature: such would be Cancer. So it is not merely the substances themselves, but also how they fit into a grander scope of Nature–and here we’re getting a bit Taurean–but the ebbs and flows, the cycle of a substance, such as water into snow and back, or boiling for cooking purposes: it’s that same sense of the different properties of a substance and how they fit into a larger cycle. So the substances of things biological, that would be an excellent example of this, and having that emotional connection with Nature Itself. This needn’t be perceived as emotional: one could sense this with bodily awareness, but this is the strongest sense of Natural Substances that I’m getting. King Carmara says he may have more for me on this at the solar noon hour.

Once again King Carmara says, “Yes, you will be crowned by King Blumaza,” rather than King Carmara himself (nonetheless it was good that I called on him, King Carmara, in addition to the other kings, he says). That ritual will happen tonight, he says, but there will be further exploration of this at the two other scryings today, as well as additional information from King Carmara about the final three days.

He has nothing further: thus ends the vision.

Noon: Similar procedure.

I’m seeing once again, a slit in the heavens, and there’s this water coming down and about me. I’m in the sky and King Carmara and the host at first seemed to ascend from earth, but now they seem to come from the sky/heaven (note: the water cycle). He approaches me and says, “Just remember to always meditate upon these different powers, and all of these powers will be opened unto you.” He speaks of the ingress of Jupiter into Pisces, saying that the Lord will grant me a boon of an 8th house nature as well as future blessings, and instructs me to be generous with them.

“Forget not the PRONOA that the Lord God Almighty has entrusted within you: a vast and cosmic thing. Be not tempted by the ways of evil, but try in thy best means possible to remain with unfailing devotion to the Most High, for, as you have seen, if you love Him with all your heart, and mind, and soul, and speech, then anyone or anything in your focus will be the recipient of such Love. It will come pouring forth from your heart, perhaps like a creek or a river given water once again, water without flooding, or a gentle rain falling upon a field.”

I express my extraordinary gratitude to King Carmara and all of the angelic host. He bows, and thus ends the vision.

Sunset: Similar procedure. At several points I recited a prayer on account of being distracted.

The angels say that I have the right attitude regarding a recent insight. First they mention that mistakes or errors can first of all create Divine timing in one’s life, delaying certain things in order for correct timing to appear. At this point, I feel the governors of the aethyrs of LIL, ZIP, POP, and RII at the nape of my neck, as well as a lot of energy coming up off of the leaf.

Yet also, the angels affirm the insight, that, while yes, it is a mistake in the lowest sense, of wrong thinking, but the mistake itself is as divine as the recognition of it and the rectification thereof. The mistake arises from the same parts of ourselves that the rectification does (note: in different degrees and dynamics, it seems to me). “So great be His Mercy,” they conclude.

Once again, King Carmara approaches, and reminds me that I will see him again on Wednesday. He says that I may or may not choose to call Prince Blisdon on that day: it is my decision, but it is not necessary. Still, I would like to call him, just tie in the connection to Jupiter (for he is usually called during the hour of Jupiter on a Wednesday).

King Carmara bids me sit astrally. Once again I have the sphere about me, except it is a sphere of water on the outside, but once again I see four colors representing the elements within water on the inside of it (e.g., water of water, fire of water, etc.). I express gratitude to the Divine for the additional insights that He has given me recently (which have especially helped with improving this ritual), and I express my gratitude to all of the angels, especially those appearing today (lest they feel diminished for having come).

I am told to imagine myself to the depths of the sea, about halfway down into the deepest parts of the oceans. Here, instead of four doors, I see four circular hatches with handwheels open up. Once again, some combination of the four elements, seeming to glowing a bit brighter, comes about me and suffuses me, impressing itself upon me and integrating within my entire nervous system.

Now my location is inverted; I’m still in water, but now in the heavenly realm, and I feel King Blumaza place a crown of water upon me (again, it appears like a gold crown as does yesterday’s, but it is the “water crown), and it fuses into one crown with that of fire. I’m feeling such gratitude, and so much of me wants to pour out into the world, and to give and give and give, and show lovingkindness in everything that I do, and to not fall into bad habits, and to ensure that I can stay with the heart center and the heart of the Divine as I can. The angels remind me of the lesson (that mistakes are as Divine as their recognition and rectification), and I do (for it is a profound one).

I express my gratitude again and am feeling a little emotional. The angels say that that’s okay, “For now, the water is unlocked within you.” I thank them. Now King Carmara reminds me that there are two more days of this, and then the triad [working] begins. I express my gratitude again.

Thus ends the vision.

Gebofal, Day 42

Sunrise: Call/Key 8, (as the seventh spoken call–the first “not to be spoken”–most practitioners refer to this as call 7). Vibrated title of Leaf 8b. Vibrated God names “ORO,” “IBAH,” and “AOZPI.” Calls to, in order, King Carmara, Prince Hagonel, King Bnapsen, Prince Brorges, and King Bobogel.

King Carmara appears, with King Bnapsen to my left and King Bobogel to my right, which reflects the order of the three seals on the fire tablet, which my feet rest upon. He says, “Today, a holy miracle is occurring. These two planets,” (i.e., Saturn and the sun), “set opposite each other within the zodiac,” (i.e., as their respective signs of domicile of Aquarius and Leo as well as their respective signs of exaltation, Libra and Aries), “are now reconciled. Today,” King Carmara continues, he will indeed give me the powers of fire related to transportation and of gold/precious stones. “This will be of the sun in Aries,” I’m told. King Carmara says that he will postpone the movings of King Bnapsen (i.e., his assignment to today, a Saturday) until Wednesday (due to the shift in order which King Bnapsen previously worked through with me). Today, King Bobogel is given power, for the purposes of this scrying, of King Bnapsen, for this allotment of time, and then King Bnapsen will take it back on Wednesday, due to the power of King Carmara. Prince Hagonel is doing the same thing for Prince Brorges, who will also take all this power back on Wednesday, which is fitting for he is partly of the Mercurial influence.

With all of that out of the way, King Carmara once again speaks, as his right as High King (and having worked this change-up in rules), for this scrying regarding the gold/precious stones and transportation in fire. “Let us begin with the most obvious: transportation. Without fuel, so very little travel would ever be possible.” Humans have learned a great deal about how to be less dependent on fuel (for we cannot burn our way through all of our problems), but that being said: “Planes, trains, and automobiles”: all of these largely still run on fuel (and the burning thereof). It is from this fuel and this intense burning, this explosion–or in the case of older trains, the conversion of water into steam via the burning of coal in the engine–all of this is due to the power of fire, which separates the points, which can then cause motion directly by the sheer force of the energy.

Then he moves on to the power of fire with respect to gold and precious stones, beginning with the latter. “Note that yesterday one of the topics that came up was magma cooling as a means of creating precious stones; this indeed is the power of fire to create something like this: that very heat.” He says regarding diamonds, “Pressure creates heat, does it not?” He reminds me of Boyle’s law (actually Charles’ law, but it and Boyle’s law are related–the error is mine because it’s been a while since I had high school chemistry), and says that this pressure can create the heat necessary to restructure the carbon atoms into a diamond. “Yea, it is caused by the weight of earth,” but it is that weight combined with the transfer of heat that caused the diamonds to take on the form.”

Now I feel some energy come up off all of the points of contact: Leaf 8b, the seals of Kings Carmara, Bnapsen, and Bobogel; the fire tablet, and the Holy Table of Practice. King Carmara says, “Behold, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth: look thee to this power of gold. This power of gold, this reflection of the true self (if one can get at it truly, undisturbed by the elements)–this power of gold in fire: why be it exalted in fire [(i.e., as is the sun in Aries)]? And why, indeed, as a preview to tomorrow, why be it so powerful in Leo, the royal sign? It reflecteth something true, does it not? It reflects that heart of the sun. It[, the sun,] is so bright that it cannot be looked at directly. For this reason, people must close their eyes, must bow their heads. For royalty, [which is often bedecked in gold,] this is a nice treat. For this causeth people to look down and merely see the indirect benefit of the monarch.”

However, he says, “consider also the fact that today be a Saturday,” so we are switching things up as far as the order [of the kings] is concerned, he notes. “But if the light be not in agreement [with the kingdom,] and causeth not beneficence, then people take aim at the monarch, and seek to kill, because the arrangement is blinding and cruel, like someone who is not allowed to close their eyes when forced to look at the sun, so they will do anything to stop it, for it is out of control. It is not doing what it is supposed to do. It is creating harm rather than help.” (Note: Saturn be equally blinding by simply being a generally darkening influence). “Consider also the crops which fail on account of too much sun and[, due to its heating influence, or the exclusion of clouds on too many sunny days,] thus not enough water. In that case, the sun means only death [by means of the failure of crops]. So there is this link [between Saturn and the sun].”

King Bnapsen’s seal is especially energizing in agreement. King Carmara continues: “There is this link between the sheer force of life on account of the sun, and yet that can tend to call forth the force of death, unless the force of Saturn be appropriately applied in other ways.

“Returning to the concept of gold: gold, as you saw yesterday, reflects so much. It reflects an inner truth, and yet, at the same time, there is this inner truth of evil, of that which must be appropriately contextualized. So here we come to the problem of alchemy, and of turning lead into gold. The truth is,” and here he speaks in very high metaphor, “that there needs to be diamond within the lead, about which be a gold box, as you have seen it [as a transparent sphere within a black sphere, which is within a white cube–which I have seen in previous visions]–or, put another way, gold reflected that truth of the heart of an individual, and so it is almost as if it needs to be closest–the true heart needs to turn the gold more into a diamond, does it not?” I agree. “Because that gold of the inner core needs to then work up on the nature of evil, contextualize it, understand it, come to see it for what it is, facing one’s fear, one’s true fear, one’s root of fear, and then…and then the…” I struggle to concentrate, and vibrate King Carmara’s name seven times.

“One, with this gold in its exaltation [e.g., of Aries,] knowing one’s True Will, begins that process, then can face the fear, then one begins to see those two things as part of the same coin. So they become reconciled in this way. The True Will sees that it must contend with the nature of fear and evil in order to have even emerged, and yet at the same time, the nature of evil comes more and more linked, in the person’s mind, to how the True Will itself becomes defined. So evil must be contextualized, yet at the same time, evil in its way tends to define, so these are reconciled with the transparent sphere, which we can liken unto a diamond.”

I ask whether King Carmara, speaking on behalf of the other kings, or if Prince Hagonel, speaking on behalf of Prince Brorges, or even King Carmara speaking on behalf of Prince Hagonel, on behalf of Prince Brorges–if they have anything further. They say no. “Continue thou this work.” Now I see the sign of Sagittarius, and I ask if this has anything to do with what they have said. They reply, “Yes, but we will follow the format once more at solar noon, and then tomorrow we will begin the lessons of the angels of medicine and of natural substances. For this, indeed, is a preview of that, is it not?” I reply yes (for we have seen the balance about desirable and undesirable qualities, which are contextualized by the heart, which itself is contextualized by its environs).

With that, King Carmara bids me farewell, and thus ends the vision.

Noon: Similar procedure.

King Carmara comes up to me straight away and says, “Look. Next week is going to be a big deal. When you reach this day [next week], give yourself grace, and really try to block out absolutely everything else, so you can just focus on this [gebofal] in the time you need to focus on it, because it will take a long time, and it will be a serious matter.”

I ask regarding the final three calls if I should be calling on the Heptarchy, and he says, “No. Do not call on that Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Do not call upon us. You will be given visions on those three days, but it will be three [times per day] within three [days], so it will be the nine once again.”

King Carmara says that he will just very briefly go over the powers of gold and precious stones, and also of transportation, within elemental fire [according to zodiacal sign]. With respect to Sagittarius, the liftoff [of a plane,] the grand story that tends to get pulled along [with transportation] or that is implied with that: “That’s with respect to transportation, and also, with respect to gold and precious stones: the tendency to give away and be generous,” he continues. As I type this up, I hear, “almost as if the gold and precious stones either be too hot energetically to hold for too long, or that Sagittarius gains warmth in the heart from the giving thereof.” During the actual session, he finishes up with Sagittarius: “[to give away, and be generous with,] what one has learned, with the spoils of the quest: the hero returns and gives away the gold to the villagers, and the same thing with jewels.” (Note: Sagittarius is closely linked with going out and returning with new knowledge.)

“With respect to Aries,” King Carmara transitions, “you have already seen it, but it is a bit of the the effort that it takes to go into it! So it is that energy that it takes to gain the gold and precious stones, and also, with respect to transport, it is even that desire to go, because of that impulse to go,” and as I type this up, I hear, “the urgency because of the desired goal, not for the sake of going.”

During the session, King Carmara rounds out the third fire sign, Leo: “Once again, we have the royalty, the adornment of jewels, the proper sense of their meaning, the appropriate grandeur,” and this is the big word, I’m being told, “all of that. With respect to travel,” and here King Carmara advises that this will be important to me, for Jupiter is in my first house in Leo, and of course my ninth house is full, “and transportation in particular, we have that constant,” (i.e., fixed), “burning, the constant fuel use that we already saw in the previous vision, and also we have the…the…” and here I must redouble my effort to concentrate, and vibrate his name seven times, “we have a little bit of that pioneering spirit, that exploratory spirit. Someone literally leaves home to seek his fortune. It is that person finding themselves along the way with the journey.” A lot of that is also within Sagittarius, but this is that solar sense. The desire for fortune might be Sagittarius, but the desire to find oneself along the way would be more Leo.

“All of these [signs and powers therein] have been covered, have they not?” “Yes,” I reply. King Carmara returns to the matter of the 7699, and says, “Don’t expect a solution. Continue to do the due diligence with respect to the other numbers. [Solutions for] one or two of them will occur, but also allow this one [the program seeking a solution for this number] to run its course. The Lord High, in His Mercy, has granted unto thee a small opening with respect to the 69636,” (which I did receive a solution for, involving all of the servient angels of the Aethyrs of LIL, ZIP, POP, and RII). “So it was, and you gained a great deal of insight from that, but don’t expect them for all of these.

King Carmara wishes to speak more about next week. “When you reach the end–and of course you are on the second half of Leaf 8, which actually be the first half, but the ‘first shall be last,’ and ‘the last, first.’ Expect that with each element that occurs [i.e., as I complete the powers of an element as each of the first four days of the last week are finished], that you will get the sense that you have all–at least, within Enochian–all that is capable of being had there will seem to unlock. It will seem to unlock at least–it will unlock the path ahead to each of those [elements], which is to say that you go through a series of [four double] doors, and then there is the fixed stars of the elements themselves,” he says. “Trying to bring all of these into focus at once, you will, of course–it is very difficult,” he says, “But a bit of the triad–and you’re getting a sense of this in your heart now, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” I admit, for my heart is glowing with a wonderfully good feeling. “The application of each of the crosses [within the Watchtower tablet] [to] the xy- axis, the yz- axis, and the xz- axis is coming about. It is coming within you, and so you will apply this same principle over and over and over again. You will find that you can rotate each of these [tablets into] combinations,” (actually, permutations, but I was deep in vision here!), “and you will find that factorial which is six of each of the directions that can be occupied [within a plane], with any given orientation, so 24 in all.”

Let me jump in with the math. The factorial number is used for combinations where order matters, which it does in this case. The usual order of the tablets is Fire-Air-Earth-Water, but here are the possible permutations with Fire first:

  1. Fire-Air-Earth-Water
  2. Fire-Air-Water-Earth
  3. Fire-Water-Air-Earth
  4. Fire-Water-Earth-Air
  5. Fire-Earth-Air-Water (the original Watchtower transmission)
  6. Fire-Earth-Water-Air

Continuing with the rest of the elements, you would eventually find 24 unique permutations, and this number is known as 4!, which you find by multiplying 4*3*2*1 = 24. The “directions” he’s referring to are, for example, East. If fire is in the east, then we have six of these permutations. If it is in the North, we have another six, and so on until we have all 24 of these possible permutations.

Yet note that he speaks with respect to a plane, and we have three of these, for a total of 72, and this is only with respect to the permutations of the elements within the tablet, not the number of angels. Recall that there are 4 types of so-called “lesser” angels per direction (16), 4 types of kerubs (16), each of which is controlled by two names of God (8), for a total of 40 names per tablet. In addition, there is the king who has two forms, one wrathful and one peaceful, as well as his full name (3 names total), as well as the 6 elders over which he rules: 49 names in all. Multiplied by four elements, we have 196 angels, each of which may be grouped differently about each of the “controlling crosses” of the subquadrant, if these permutations do indeed flow down to those quadrants. The exercise of finding the total number of angelic permutations of this across all three dimensions…is left to the reader.

After resetting my concentration, King Carmara continues: “This much has been given unto you, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth! Rejoice! Revel! Give thanks unto the Most High most of all.”

Sunset: Similar procedure.

I’m told to relax right away (I need to work on relaxing!). I can already feel the energy coming up off of the seals and off of the fire tablet. Again, the angels remind me to measure my heart. All five of the angels are present in this vision and remain as figures (rather than fading into the background).

King Carmara comes forward to speak. I try to concentrate. I ask for help with my heart, and he says he will do his best. He reaches both hands inside of my heart chakra, and it’s warming up. He bids me ease into the changes he is making, and I feel this reactive personality. He says, “Don’t be so attached to what you think you are.” That helps.

“Relax now, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth,” King Carmara says, so I try to relax even more, but he instead instructs me to just go straight into trance, so we induce me into hypnosis. Having reached the trance, he comes forward to speak, and shows me the same split in the sky as yesterday. This time, the light that is coming about me is a clear light. It is partly of the solar aspect, but I think, because there’s this Saturnian aspect mixed in, it’s this clear, transparent light. It’s coming about me and meeting about me with all three axis lines of Cartesian space, with perhaps a fourth dimension of time, through which I’m slowly moving.

Yet there are seven lines about my heart as well. I’m bidden to wobble about the origin point slightly (and then return). It’s like when I do, it’s just the tiniest of wobbles, and I’m seeing all of these different possibilities move into place. The angels say, “Look behind you,” and so I try to rotate, but the angels instruct me to use my 360-degree astral vision instead. So I try to open it up, and it’s like there are these monsters behind me. The angels say, “This is what your 12th house is like. You need to open it [the vision] up to be able to see it.” So I open this astral eye even more, and it’s because it’s the part that I avoid that this has taken on this energy, I’m told. Instead, what I need to do is see it as a part of me and welcome it into me, so I do. Suddenly the monsters transform into a pastoral scene.

Now I’m told to wobble about this origin point in 10D space, and I do. It’s this very subtle energy. “This is the subtle energy of the exaltation of the sun in Aries: everything feels right to the individual, unless one creates massive challenges for oneself. It’s that feeling of being right and not having a care in the world. That’s this sun in Aries energy: for this reason, I’m told, the natural substances come more easily, the medicines come more easily to this [exaltation] degree: all of the different [Watchtower] powers: the powers of gold[, for example]. It is important to see that, and be reminded of the carefree attitude, but such is the nature of this final [element of the powers of gold/precious stones and transportation, fire, associated in gebofal with] the [exalted] sun in Aries, this final trip to an element “before we get into the subtlest of powers, which is to say, that of natural substances and of medicines.”

I feel myself taken in by this energy of the sphere, which approaches me directly from the surface of the sphere, not as indirectly as with other spheres to this point. I’m told by King Bobogel directly that tomorrow [the arrangement of tablets reflects the sun in Leo], that it will be different. Tomorrow will be the beginning of the final seven days. He bids me avoid the shadow side of the temptation of these powers. I ask for help with this and he says that he will give such help as he can, as will the Most High. He advises me to avoid becoming overly grandiose [for tomorrow the Leonine solar energy may bid my personality to do so]. “But we will once again go through all of the powers [by sign], as before.” Then he will bid me adieu, with the exception of Wednesday, when he will be there to support King Bnapsen.

King Bnapsen himself says that he will do similarly for me with the powers of air [by sign], on Wednesday, taking with him [with the aid of King Carmara] the powers of Saturn. King Carmara says he will see me again through three of the days this week (which I do not understand, for he has bidden me not to call him on Thursday and Friday, and so I’m only due to call him Monday and Wednesday. Oh well).

Thus ends the vision.

Gebofal, Day 41

Sunrise: Call/Key 9, (because the true first key “was not to be spoken,” most practitioners refer to this as call 8). Call to King Baligon. Call to Godnames “MOR,” “DIAL,” “HCTGA.”

King Baligon appears in an earthen form, but now appears as a forest or field king within nature. He notes the obvious: Venus is now in Taurus, which is in alignment with today as Venus’ of the week, as well as with the Earth tablet under my feet (of course, King Baligon’s seal rests upon that, and he is associated with Venus). He says he will speak briefly, but I reply that he of course may speak at whatever length he chooses.

King Baligon indicates via placing an thin earthen sphere about me, that I have some of these powers already within me. He is going to magnify it and bring it into its fullness, he says. He shows me the obvious act of digging into earth. Yesterday, he says, I was given the image of water washing off the dirt. This time he points downward that humans have come to learn that precious stones come from the power of Earth, whether that be compression (in the case of diamonds) or magma cooling. He also points to gold and says that it’s a rarity, left here by stars many years ago. Everything that was said yesterday about that golden diamond reflecting something inward, to the human mind, is true. There’s beauty therein.

Now he points to gnomes, and we think of them as related to elemental earth, and he bids me watch what they do. Now I see an image of a proper mine, and I see one, among many, who is swinging a pickaxe into a wall of a mine. The idea here is that eventually if you go through with the pickaxe and make your way through all of this dirt, eventually you will reach what you’re looking for.

Then King Baligon points to several things about a proper mine. First, care is taken such that the earth above does not crush the miners: supports and such. This is a power associated with mining and gold and precious stones. Then, the ability to recognize a glint of ore, or to feel it by indirect contact, or even to have a sixth sense as to where it is: this would also be a power associated with gold and precious stones.

Obviously, we want the thing to be beautiful, so the hammering of the gold into shape, the planning of the shape, the measuring of a finger for, say, a gold diamond ring to fit about it: all of these things are related to the actual shape of the final object itself, and belong to the powers of Gold and Precious Stones as they relate to elemental earth. As an aside, he adds that the knowledge of metals, which come from Prince Bornogo, can be combined in this manner. Continuing, he says that having a beautiful shape of the golden jewelry in mind, this also belongs to this earth aspect of the power of Gold and Precious Stones. Any time that there needs to be a certain arrangement that the stones would need to be fixed upon, that is pleasing to the eye: that sense of pleasantness and elegance, of things looking right. To some degree a conceptual degree of elegance could come with Venus in Gemini or Venus in Aries (for the latter has a good sense of conceptual elegance: what would make a perfectly beautiful extent of where one element ends and where another begins–which is why they make very good fighters!). He says that in particular, the pleasant arrangement that earthiness brings here is like a beautiful arrangement for a feast, which looks good before anyone sits down (whereas if considering where and how people sat mattered, such would belong more to Venus in Libra).

As far as transportation is concerned, earth brings consideration of weight and lading: understanding just how much can be gotten away with in terms of weight when it comes to travel, or what a reasonable or practical amount that one could or should be laden with in order to travel from one point to another. Understanding this very well in terms of precision would be related to Virgo: what ought to be shed and kept and the meticulous planning thereby. Having a general sense of whether the trip would even be worth it: such would be Taurus–but he says that we’ll get into each sign at the noon scrying: “It seems to work very well for you.”

King Baligon says to continue to try to find the correct combination of servient angels to match the numbers in the remaining calls. “It’s worthwhile and it’s pleasing unto the Lord that this work is done.”

I ask whether King Baligon has anything further in his generosity and mercy; “No,” he replies, “this is it. Thanks be unto God.”

Thus ends the vision.

Noon: Similar procedure. This is the famous “Pagesgem” half-leaf, 9a:

Picture of Leaf 9A of Amzes Naghezes Hardeh. King Bornogo notes that this is the only leaf with a circle in the middle, and with numbers upon it; it also has the name “Bornogo” central and in appearing in four directions (other kings or princes may appear within Liber Loagaeth, but not to my knowledge, and certainly none central to it).

The vision starts with a subtle flash of light appearing in the upper-right of my field of vision. Nothing further happens, so I relax, and King Baligon bids me do so further. I note aloud that I would seem to indirectly be calling upon Prince Bornogo by having my left hand upon this leaf. “Here be Michael,” says King Baligon, a clear reference to Michael as the archangel of the sun, “but if you had the entire one, of course, Raphael.” This confirms Raphael as the archangel of Tiphareth, and Michael as the archangel of its planetary ruler. Yet as to what “the entire one” refers, I do not know.

I continue to relax into the vision. King Baligon says that we will just briefly touch on the powers that we haven’t touched on already. Getting back to the vision of the mine: the structure of what it takes to have a mining operation in place, or to discover gold or precious stones (time, safety, discipline, things like that)–the proper structure of building of that up: such, I’m told, belongs to Capricorn.

“We’ve already gone over Taurus a little bit, mainly [in the power] to distinguish what is beauty, and what actually has value, sometimes both of those together, sometimes one and not the other,” King Baligon says, “such is Taurus.” Being able to make a plan as to how to arrange the points and shapes–the overall sense of beauty is Taurus, but the overall plan to make the shapes and to distinguish one part from another, and to purify generally the gold and precious stones–melting points in the case of gold, for example–these are Virgo.

Now I’m getting the sense that Prince Bornogo wishes to arrive and assist with King Baligon, and I’m happy with that. King Baligon says this is possible only by the natural correspondence between Venus (during the hour of which he is to be called), as well as the sympathy between King Baligon and King Carmara (and their similar seals), the latter of whom with his prince, Hagonel, can switch the rules of Heptarchical manifestation around slightly.

I’m getting this sense of the sense of self, which is reflected in gold; Prince Bornogo says that the particular power of gold to reflect the individual is quite important. There is something about that inner empty mind that is seen, and that being able to distinguish one (possibly meaning true empty mind) from the next (a false sense of empty mind)–here we’re speaking metaphorically, in the sense of gold being able to reflect something that silver and other metals, in some ways, seems to corrupt slightly. The property that gold has is that it is such a rare element (relative to, say, iron), which comes from supernovae of eons past, (though perhaps not as rare as other metals), and which doesn’t tend toward radioactive decay. There’s something about how it reflects the heart of the sun, which is to be taken into account (when considering the Powers of Gold), and so the seeking of pure gold from alchemical (metaphorical) point of view, vs. the physical point of view, is not something to be discounted, because there is something very true and unique to an individual. There is the True Will, which one can begin to get a sense of by entering into Tiphareth, which one could potentially get at by a true sense of self, but it’s a very delicate process, Prince Bornogo says: that’s why it’s at the very heart of the sun.

“As far as precious stones,” King Baligon asks, “why are diamonds the best? It is the most valuable of all of the precious stones on account of the density and fixity of the points in relation to each other, the sheer packing of carbon atoms so closely and strongly together. There’s something poetic about that substance [carbon] which makes life possible, when it is given to itself, creates something that life itself seems attracted to.” Combined that with the heart of oneself, and the true focus of oneself (i.e., metaphorical gold), this is all very important. I ask if there’s anything additional as far as the astrological assignments go. I’m told quickly that Taurus understand the value, Capricorn the importance of focusing oneself over the long haul, so gold retains its value, and Capricorn is very much aware of that. Virgo energy, Prince Bornogo tells me, is especially good at distinguishing one thing from another, one stone from another: it has that power, and will seek the means to do so. Virgo also seems to have within it, especially if Mercury be there, this capacity to get at the heart of the sun, especially now that Regulus is there, he hastens to add. It has within it this means, merely by reflecting on the self, to begin to draw up the true sense of oneself.

Now I get some energy coming up off of the leaf. The royal angels say that this leaf is special, and represents the beginning of the final nine days, “in which the forty and the nine will be made clear unto you, much of which you have already expressed and discovered, but much more awaits.” I get the sense, and perhaps this is coming early–perhaps Prince Bornogo will have more to say in the evening, but I feel like all of the remaining (elemental earth) powers of gold and precious stones are being granted unto me early. Prince Bornogo nods, and once again I feel–a bit weighty, but not too bad–as all of these powers are being embedded within my subtle body system. Both Prince Bornogo and King Baligon are saying yes, this is a building process: “You have indeed lain out an excellent model, and the clarity of the trinity will be made clear unto you. Suffice it to say, it’s a bit of ‘the thing, its opposite, and the mediator. Much as God the Father, and Jesus Christ (who is of the earthly realm, and yet still Divine), so, too, is the Holy Spirit a mediator between the Two, and is mediator between the Father and anyone who has attained Christ Consciousness.”

I feel this elaborate and ornate Christian cross, but now it seems to be equal-armed cross, made of gold. At the ends I’m seeing all of these discs upon discs, making their way out from the ends of the cross. It’s gorgeous. They show it wrap about me, now, becoming two rings of a sphere or orb along the xy– and yz– planes, and now a third comes about me along the xz– plane. It is like unto a monarch’s orb, and it is rotating with jewels encrusted within it. It is like unto the Ophanim, except that the jewels are as unto eyes, or the eyes are as unto jewels, or somewhere in between. With all of this, much can be seen, and much can also be reflected back. It’s beautiful, whirling around now, taking on this energy. It is flaming a bit, but it is embedding itself within the throne of the Most High, which I see rolling around (note the power of transportation implicit in this image!). At first I see a figure on the throne who looks like me, but now it is empty, save for a point hovering in the very center. It is is a large throne, at first seeming 20 feet high, but now more like 200 feet high. The dimensionality is changing rapidly.

I ask, “What is there for me to hear, if you all, in your mercies, have something further to say, or to show?” At this, the throne splits vertically in two, and it’s like I come into the split, but then it unites into one again, and I become embedded within the throne. “This is the process now,” I’m told. “Tomorrow you will have the fullness of the powers of gold and precious stones, but the true meaning of them will be revealed unto you, and it is a meaning which shall stand this test of time: the reconciliation of Tiphareth, of Binah, and, yea, of Kether, in its fullness, and of Chokmah, naturally.” (Note: this could be a pulling in or reconciliation of Adam Qadmon with the Tree of Life, or it could be additional work done on the Tree of Life before I can proceed further into the realm of Adam Qadmon.)

I feel my subtle body system being tuned up again: it’s like I’m being lifted up. My crown chakra is sort of opening up, and I see it opening up like unto a leaf, or a blossom, but it’s like the angels are telling me, “Reach the tip of the leaf, reach the tip of the leaf!”

Thus ends the vision: thanks be to God.

Sunset: Similar procedure, but neglected to call on the god names of “MOR,” “DIAL,” and “HCTGA” until after the vision, during the vision, a great deal of distracting noise.

I feel a great deal of energy coming up off the leaf. King Baligon appears, and there is a great deal of energy coming up off of the leaf. Prince Bornogo is present, but does not come to the fore. King Baligon bids me relax, and speaks to the Excel solver which I have running, and suggests adding the duplicate numbers of servient angels back in (for so far, no solution has emerged).

He bids me relax again, and a third time. I try to do so. Now I see lightning come down about me, and there’s this earthen sphere about me (or several rings about a common polarity), which is also part lightning. It’s like this energized earth, or Uranian earth. It is all about me, and it is taking me throughout time, and I’m getting the sense from Prince Bornogo that this sphere is metals which are of an earthen nature, “For, yea, they tend to be found in the earth, are they not?”

“Yes,” I agree. It’s like I’m seeing the heavens themselves rip open once again, and I see an eye look through the tear at me (for the sky itself is its eyelid), and the pupil of this eye is the source of this lightning descending all about me in a nearly straight line. It’s like I’m hovering within some kind of electrical spherical cage, and the energy about me now seems to close in, and it’s permeating about my entire system, and, yes! It feels like my entire subtle body system is changing, and my hands are being magnetized. It feels like this is merely the first step, and the angels say, “Yes, for such energy shall come down upon thee in the full might of the Lord, or nearest so much as you can handle.”

I’m totally confused (“and that’s okay,” I remark). So I’m looking about me for any sort of clue right now, but it’s just this energetic, energetic, energetic, energetic…and I’m trying my best to maintain this lovingkindness all about me, and this causes the cage of rings about the pole to open before me, and I am allowed to rest in a bed. Yet this bed seems to have a life of its own! It seems to be taking me to and fro, and it seems like there’s no end to where I’m going, and there is a lot of light about me. Eventually I hear the word “Stop.”

The angels say, “Examine your heart, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth: continue to examine it, day in and day out. Allow the lovingkindness within you to pour out, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten-thousandfold from where you have it now, and, yea, even more, so it will be pleasing unto the Most High.”

Thus ends the vision!

Gebofal, Day 37

Sunrise: Call/Key 13, (because this is the practitioners refer to this as call 12). Call to Kings Carmara, Blumaza, and Bnapsen, and to Princes Hagonel and Bralges. Vibrated name of Governor Virooli of ZOM and Zodiacal King Alpudus based on the number of servient angels in this Aethyr being close to the number mentioned in the call. Vibrated the names of god of the elemental earth tablet: MOR, DIAL, HCTGA.

They begin by telling me to expect this to go a little slower than I would like. Again King Carmara chooses to speak on behalf of Kings Blumaza and Bnapsen because he had to work to ensure that the alignment of the planetary king Bnapsen would be available at the time called. He says to consider the mechanics (i.e., mechanical arts) of the earth itself. “Mining: this will ultimately have a role to play in terms of the angels of Secret Discovery” (when such angels come forth during the associated call). The Mechanical Arts related to mining [are] specifically [related to] underground [mining], and not drilling, say, on a drilling platform [at sea]. To some extent it’s true (that mechanical arts of elemental earth are involved), but the distinctions (between the Mechanical Arts of Earth vs. Water) tend to get muddled. So the Mechanical Arts (of elemental earth) are related to mining, digging–even a simple shovel! or a backhoe, or a tractor, things related to construction–all of the mechanical arts related to that: crane, welding: anything related to construction of buildings (and I’m feeling especially King Bnapsen here).

King Carmara continues: “The powers of Transformation of earth: this is a bit trickier, isn’t it?” he asks. “Things related to terraforming, creating terraces, related to the transformation of the earth so that it may grow crops” are powers he includes. “Specifically related to letting fields go fallow, or fertilizer, or composting,” he continues. He anticipates that my composting (which I do in my backyard) will get even better, just because of the Mechanical Art which is unconsciously being embedded within me. “All of these things are related to [elemental] earth,” he summarizes.

When it comes to powers of Transformation, he speaks to the gradual progression of the body as it ages, or preventing that: the structure and functions of the body. The everyday, ins-and-outs, take-it-for-granted things that the body can do.

I try to concentrate and be respectful. I feel my crown chakra being raised up, and I feel my entire subtle body being changed. All three of the kings are pleased, because [my natal chart] (with both luminaries, Saturn, and north node in elemental earth astrological signs) allows for full-body work, so the degree of the exaltation of the moon, which my natal sun is quite close to–they kings are pleased to be able to work directly with these powers of Mechanical Arts and Transformation as they relate to me astrologically; now my natal moon (I was born under a new moon) will no longer be hidden as much by the sun.

The kings ask if I wish to trance out, and I agree. As I’m induced via breathing awareness, I feel more energy coming up off of the leaf. The kings encourage me to let my mind stay blank until this message is complete: “The Transformation of points such as they are: part of this includes Transformation of points flowing about them. So, not only stay in the place where one is, but to use that point as a pivot for all other points: a pivot causing other things to move as they do, to change their general flow, and also to be prepared as fuel for the fire which may arise. [Of this last:] such is the power of Transformation and Mechanical Arts fused in one. All three [elemental earth astrological] signs are capable of this to varying degrees and in various respects, but right now, we are pleased to commune with you, right where you are sitting now.

“We return unto you compassion, as we continue to provide compassion to all of humanity, and to all living things, and to all non-living things, and to all that is. So we ask that you rest, that you not overexert yourself, for twelve days can seem like a short time, but it can be quite long: an eternity may crop up within it. This is the perfect time to rest, to restore yourself…nonetheless, continue, continue, continue, continue to rest. Do not overexert yourself. Maintain the long view, for twelve days is quite a long time.”

I ask, hesitatingly, if they have anything further to say. “No,” they reply. “More will be shown to you: we will follow the same format of each of these signs with respect to Mechanical Arts and Transformational powers.”

Thus ends the vision.

Noon: Similar procedure.

King Carmara once again instructs, and the other two kings defer: “Let us speak now of the Mechanical Arts and Transformation according to sign.

“We will begin with Taurus. When it comes to Taurus [and] the [powers of] Mechanical Arts and powers of Transformation: an excellent example would be the compression of carbon into a diamond. This is perhaps the best example there could ever possibly. The reason why is that the power is to not move, and yet it creates the most beautiful of gemstones.

He bids me pause and relax, which I do. Note: as I type this up, another power of Taurus which occurs to me, and King Carmara agrees, is the power of emotional transformation by not being emotionally moved by the drama of a group dynamic. When done consciously, this can be excellent for improving the quality of the emotional functioning of a group. I thank and ask what other examples there may be. To this, he begins with Transformation: “The power of any seed to transform into a plant is one of these, obviously. The steadiness of a mountain, that is too large to be breached, and thus transforms entire landscapes about it, and transforms where humans and animals inhabit. The relative paucity of people living in the Himalayan mountains is a good example, as well as the difficulty of travel there. Such is the power of transformation, saying ‘Not this.’ This is also [true], to a degree, of Capricorn.

“As far as the Mechanical Arts of Taurus: planting, so any machine that can do that, would be a good example. Another good example would be the tire, which is relatively hard, and makes contact with the ground–to some degree, this is the power of Transportation as well–but that technology of the tire, which remains relative to the car, stationary. Again, it’s a Mechanical Art, and slowly does itself transform over time.

I ask whether he has any more Mechanical Art or Transformation examples in Taurus. I get the sense of digging, but this does not seem quite right (likely King Carmara was referencing this morning’s example). “Consider also things related to money. The power of metals–even though there be powers of precious stones and metals [such as gold]–the power of gold, for example.” It transforms the entire landscape on account of–and here he paraphrases The Treasure of the Sierra Madre–the power it has to entice human labor into the finding and the getting of it.

Note: Here I finally see a complementary pattern across the powers of the Watchtower tablets. The presence of gold and precious stones causes it to transform a landscape, yet transformation turns gold and precious stones into the very jewelry that still remains the main purpose of finding them. A mechanical art can be used in order to discover secrets (via the scientific method), yet knowing a secret can be used in mechanical arts (i.e., engineering). Living creatures can be cured by medicine, yet living creatures and elements also create it, either via natural production or synthesis (for we are indeed animals). So it seems to me that the slow progression towards the center via this squaring of the circle is bringing me closer to understanding the unity across the Watchtower multiplicity.

After a long pause: “Nothing further do I have to say about Taurus,” King Carmara concludes. “Let us move on to Virgo. Any Mechanical Art which has to do with correction, perfection, and purifying [would be of Virgo], so for example the appropriate equipment for a chemical reaction. The appropriate cleaning equipment, anything like that, cleansers of all kinds–to some degree water is involved with this, but the ability to make something pure belongs to Virgo. Sterilization, hand sanitizer, UV light–it purifies via elemental fire [i.e., electromagnetism], but the tool used to make it is of the Virgo nature. With respect to Transformation, anything that causes a revitalization as a result of this purification: so, if for example, a neighborhood is not doing well on account of neglect or people not caring, that can be transformed by these [elemental earth] angels of Transformation [using the power of Virgo]. Nothing further do I have to say about Virgo,” he concludes.

“Now, with respect to Capricorn: you have already touched on it in your mind. So, the Mechanical Arts of Composting would be an excellent example: the death and dying thereof, allowing something new to take place. The long view of Capricorn is that it senses when a process is going to die, or that it may die over a long period of time, so it adjusts. It does a complete–it prepares for that death, for the sowing, for the harvesting: always focused ahead to the harvest. Composting is a good example, things returning–though dead, allowing life to exist. So in this way, Capricorn and Taurus are very much in sync. Once again, structures: the building up of structures over time, the slow and deliberate process–any transformation that requires deliberation would fall under Capricorn, and as far as Mechanical Arts, all of [those] which have previously been said [relating to construction].”

I ask if he has anything else. He says, “No,” and thus ends the vision (quite the Saturnian answer!).

Sunset: Similar procedure.

King Carmara alone addresses me: “Everything that needed to be imprinted already has been for today. Instead–we can speak briefly about what it means for [these powers] to happen [when passed between people], but you already know what this means[, for them] to happen. Everything that I have said can flow logically.

“But let us speak now about what is happening with gebofal. Twelve days: you now have twelve days left. Twelve be the important number: the number of the signs of the zodiac [equals the number of days] remaining, but you know that, of course, you are already in the 19 [days after the Aethyrs,] which includes this [number, 12]. You are in so many numbers, spinning about you right now. It’s easy to get lost, but the main thing here, is that twelve days represents for you a time, since you have already begun doing this, before this final call[, Leaf 1]. You have cultivated good friends.

“There will be an unwinding about you. There will be…an ‘integration’ is too simple of a word. There will be a fusion and a fission, happening at once. A fission happening of who you thought you were, even after having scried the Aethyrs: you are truly entering now the inner core of Adam Qadmon. You are now to focus with the utmost compassion on continuing to delve into the relationship between these [Watchtower] powers, the rules governing them, and why the rules are there. When you read Leaf 1 aloud, there will be so much undoing: it will be difficult for your mind to take. You must continue, you must press forward. The Most High has commanded it. Continue to speak with the rules, in lovingkindness and compassion. Continue to ask that question, about how God containeth reality, yet reality containeth God; and what that truly means for you as a person; why, in particular, it caused these particular shifts, why each of these rules are spread out as they are? It may seem that they could be continue to be subdivided forever and ever, but such is not the case! There are other [magical and mystical] systems which incorporate variations on this, and you have compassion for all of it. Yet why did this system, leading you to the realm of Adam Qadmon: Why did it split out the rules according to this method? You’ve already touched on this in some ways, and [your friends have helped you out, each in their unique way], but this will be something for your soul and spirit to face.

“I have nothing more to say.”

Thus ends the vision.

Gebofal, Day 36

Sunrise: Call/Key 14, (most practitioners refer to this as call 13, because it is the 13th spoken call, where as the true first call was “not to be spoken”). In order, calls to: King Bobogel, Prince Bornogo, King Baligon, King Carmara, and Prince Hagonel (the last two I decided to add at the last minute, since multiple royals were involved). A lot of energy was present. Note: Whenever it seems that King Carmara is speaking as his King Baligon form, I indicate so in brackets within the quote. Note that I am working with the Water Tablet, so this is a

The vision begins with King Carmara adjusting the method I will use for these final days of gebofal for days in which multiple kings should be called. He directs that instead of calling on King Bornogo first (the rationale being that it be his day and hour, i.e., those of the sun), instead I should call King Carmara (AKA Marmara–the first “M” is silent), then Prince Hagonel, then the king of the day, then the prince of the day and finally any other remaining kings). The timing matters less at noon and at sundown, since the timing must of necessity be different, but calling according to the normal timing of the king and prince of the day couldn’t hurt, but, King Carmara acknowledges, is difficult. In other words, there isn’t a need to follow this strict timing, because King Carmara is high king and can be called at any day and time, and, he says, he can bring about the inclusion king or prince to be involved.

There’s a lot of energy coming up off of the leaf now. King Carmara uses his right as high king to speak for Kings Baligon and Bobogel (the latter two bow, as do the two princes). “Let us speak about the Mechanical Arts with respect to water. You have already had in your mind the idea of a rudder or of a propeller. These are indeed Mechanical Arts of Water. Any seafaring enterprise: I [as Baligon] am included in the Mechanical Arts thereof. This would include Navigation.” Once again, we’re seeing a crossover between the elemental forces of electromagnetism (fire) in water (seafaring): “It depends on the purposes thereof,” he clarifies. “The confusion you had yesterday was, ‘What is the purpose of the Mechanical Art of Air, and how does is that involving electromagnetism[, which is of the nature of fire]?’ Well, it was the balancing” –(Libra)–“or binary”–(Gemini)–“nature of the circuits. To some degree you’re going to have that, upon any ship. Note: as humanity has advanced, many of these different kinds of Mechanical Arts become as one. So, any Mechanical Art involving a ship, I am involved with.

“Also consider the Mechanical Art of the chemicals which go into biology, for example. Any kind of chemical reaction which must needs be done in a water solution: there I[, as Baligon,] be,” King Carmara elaborates.

“Finally,” he concludes, “consider also now the powers of Transformation associated with Water. O, so much Water can transform! It can dissolve, as we have already noted, and it can also cause great floodings, great hurricanes: things of this nature. So that is how it is found in nature: how might it be found in humanity?

“It depends on the nature,” King Carmara explains, “and we won’t divert you to discussion of this with respect to the astrological signs just yet: this we will do this afternoon.” Here I must pause to allow the transmission to come through clearly. “Water can transform crops that humanity works upon, so irrigation: that is the [transformative] power of water. Water as it relates to food, to crops, to [avoiding undesirable] flooding” are related to the Transformative power water, he continues. “But the main thing is ecosystems, biology. ‘Water is life,’ is the phrase. We do not say, ‘Fire is life.'”

King Carmara continues: “Drinks and transformations thereof, and IV fluids.” He bids me note much medical transformation related to water. That which is related to medicine and to the blood: “Blood has its own unique significance to Spirit, but regardless, most of it is water, and lymph [is also]. So all of these things can be transformed best by calling upon the tablets. Frankly,” he advises, “it’s probably best that you call upon all of the angels [of all four elements, which are associated with a given power,] as you have done in the past, and just request help.”

“Let’s talk about Venus in exaltation,” King Carmara transitions. “It is good that you called upon me so that I could bring forth this power. Venus in exaltation in Pisces: we have the fish, the transporting of the fish, the ability of the water to go any which-way: the grand freedom of this. It is pleasant enough to not do that much! It can be quite lazy, can’t it? Or it feels liberating to be in that flow state. It feels very pleasant to be in that state. Hence why so much has been written about it, and it can also be empowering, so one can begin to bring in that Jupiterian influence.

“So both of these things happen at once: water, flow, knowing where to go, and to do it all much more quickly [and easily] than you would realize,” he concludes. “This is Venus in its exaltation. So,” he remarks, “it was a little difficult for you to get here, but it is good that you did, because now you yourself are even feeling the pleasantness of this in your body”–he’s correct, and it feels good to even type this up–“and your mind is now at ease. It is good that you continue to work at [perfecting the method]: this is the nature of Jupiter at the final degrees of Aquarius, so do not feel too bad. You may even look up the term and decan if you wish.” I do so: it is the term of Saturn and the Decan of the moon, which is near the end of Capricorn. “All in all, good job,” he encourages me. “Continue to work with this same format: again, do not worry so much about the timing now that I have invoked. You see that there will be no need to be concerned with it, although you may if you wish. Very good, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth.”

Thus ends the vision.

Noon: Similar procedure: I neglected to do this in the morning, so this time I added seven calls to the godnames of OIP, TEAA, and PDOCE.

King Carmara once again chooses to speak for the remaining princes and kings. “Let us now consider water as a mechanical art, when it comes to Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio.

“It’s going to be easiest with Scorpio, so let’s begin there. In addition to all of the other matters at hand, mechanical arts would be all manners of plumbing, pumps: anything having to do with the pumping of water, but to some degree this also applies to other liquids, which are the same category, in terms of melting and boiling point and similar qualia of water. Also, [as with a previous vision], diagnosis without seeing the matter: this is something of a fixed sign ability, but for Scorpio the difference is the diagnosis of something especially hidden, that is dangerous to be apprehended without special equipment (or perhaps even impossible).” He specifically references exploring a site like the Fukushima nuclear power plant, going into the water of the wrecked plant, but even without the water, the dangerous task of doing so. The Mechanical Art would going in or indirectly observing long enough such that information can be gleaned and worked upon: such information would be impossible to directly apprehend. Yet Scorpio is very good at understanding pressure and many hidden things. “Delving,” he adds, and “many underwater things would be Scorpionic. Irrigation, which was previously mentioned, because it involves plumbing-like action, is more Scorpionic, but has some Piscean aspects as well. Those would be the Mechanical Arts related to Scorpio in particular.”

He wishes to move on to Pisces. I concentrate to improve the quality of King Carmara’s transmission. “Consider the Mechanical Arts related to Pisces: this would be like the Mechanical Art of understanding the tides [and currents], and all oceanic ecosystems fall under Pisces,” he explains. “All of the water signs to some degree, but specifically Pisces.” I ask if he has anything else, and he says, “Yes: medical equipment–if it’s a puncture, such relates to Scorpio, so an IV drip into would belong to that sign. But if it’s trying to figure out what’s already happening to the flow of somebody, even heart surgery “–and here I see an open heart undergoing such–“the heart itself would be more like unto the Pisces. Again we’re getting away from some of these typical associations: heart center is Leo. Heart in terms of an organ acting to pump the water-like substance of blood, and the Mechanical Arts related to that: that is Pisces. If it were more of a surgery related to perhaps a valve (or the veins and arteries), such would be more Scorpionic. But other kinds of surgeries to remove some kind of blockage–there’s a bit of overlap.” I pause as I wait for the transmission to continue clearly. He continues, “You already have a large one with the ecosystem, but the problem is that your view isn’t as big.” Now I see a dolphin: “Yes,” he says, “sonar would be a good example of a Piscean technology, despite the dolphin being an aquatic mammal and not a fish.

“When it comes to Cancer,” King Carmara transitions, “here we have all sorts of Mechanical Arts related to shells, which are designed, indeed, to protect what’s inside. So airbags, despite their also having an Aquarian element due to the compressed air, you also have Cancer in them. More generally, the metal cage of an automobile, helmets, or any kind of armoring: that is the mechanical art related to Cancer. Again, it seems bizarre [for these to not be of elemental earth,] but these are not structure designed to hold something up. Instead, this is a shell designed to protect the watery lifeform inside.

“Getting to the powers of Transformation: you’re tempted to start with Cancer,” he notes, “but let’s start with Scorpio. Is there any power of Transformation that is not related to Scorpio?” he jokes. Speaking seriously now, he says that Scorpionic powers of Transformation are “Generally being more and more able to take in information and to find deeper and deeper layers: becoming interested in a mystery, all of these sorts of things, and seeing it through [to resolution] after layer and layer is unpeeled to its end to its final conclusion. Such is Scorpio, the transformative power of Scorpio.

“When it comes to the Transformative power of Pisces, here we have an ability to grow: once again, to see all sides of an issue. The circling: circumambulation is a perfect example of this: knowing the circumference as well as the center. This was a lot of work within you,” King Carmara observes, “and yet you did it. So the circumnavigation of the globe would be a similar great of this sort of power. The transformative power of knowing the map of the sea, so that one could actually reach the shore desired. This was massively transformative.” I sense a stronger power and he asks whether I would like to skip it. I ask that he tell me. “You see this circle about the globe; this is going to seem odd, but the transformative power of Pisces relates to tides in the sense that one who has truly mastered this could master the…” and I don’t quite understand it, though it’s related to tides. Finally: I see things hitting the oceans, and ask, “Is this about tsunamis?” “Yes,” he says. “So one could predict a tsunami?” I ask. “Yes,” he repeats.

“Wow, that’s deep.” “I told you it would be,” he smiles. “These are clear-cut examples which we hope you will find useful. Finally, of Cancer, the Transformational power is any time an egg opens up. We speak of Cancer as providing nourishment, by the archetypal mother: so any time a shell is cracked, allowing something new to emerge. Or perhaps what was inside was ugly and what is given birth to is unpleasant. But the power to do that is like Pandora’s box.”

King Carmara says, “Let’s close this for now. Tonight we will have one more vision.” He thanks me and I do my best to thank him more (though I’m unsure if this is presumptuous!).

Thus ends the vision.

Sunset: Similar procedure. It was easier to do after some practice.

I relax and note that King Carmara begins by working with my crown chakra; I note much more energy coming off of leaf 14. I see the kings as a triangle with Carmara atop the other two, who are being lifted up into this formation by the princes at bottom. In unison, the kings wish to speak: “Truly the greatest power of Transformation of all of these is that of Love, that of PRONOA. The Divine compassion in you, which you have sought to give to all beings and to all possibilities and unto universe after universe after universe: such is a reflection of the Most High, yet not attaining in as many degrees. Continue thou this work: for much could be said about the effects of the transfer of water from one to another in this love, but indeed, all that needs to nourish one being cometh only in the form of another, for all hath been provided by the Most High.

“Seek you to accept all that cometh across your attention, and seek you to attend to means to be more accepting and compassionate. The Most High hath given you such a great boon. Cherish it! Honor it! Honor Him most of all! Do not worry, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth: for all of these things and more hath already been preordained.”

I feel this change to my subtle body, and it’s something grand opening up. Again, it is this actual Transformation, and this actual change of Mechanical Arts, and again, I feel as if I will be granted the power of this tablet, and of the astrological forces therein. At some level, I am understanding the root, although how to articulate it, I know not yet. The kings encourage me to continue the remainder of the planning (of the final days of gebofal), which is so little now left, mainly the phonetic pronunciation of Leaf 1.

Thus ends the vision.

Letters of the PELE ring: The Seven Planetary Kings (Heptarchy)

(Cross-posted from a Facebook Group)

I’ve been thinking about the letters of this ring and how they relate to the kings of the Heptarchy. (Note: Here, a member correctly reiterated something I’d already read in DuQuette’s Enochian Vision Magick, which is that this name derives from the name Peh-Lamed-Aleph of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy).

Nonetheless, this was intended to supplement what was already known or observed about the ring. I suggested a correspondence to the names of the kings and their relative location on the ring astrologically; I’ve uncapitalized the first letters of the kings’ names and capitalized the letters of interest to make it easier to follow:

  • blVmaza (top center V on the ring)-moon
  • bObogel (central O)-sun
  • bnaspoL (bottom center L)-Mercury…note that we have the central three figures of the Monas Hieroglyphica.
  • bynePor (P in PELE)-Jupiter
  • bnapsEn (first E in PELE)-Saturn
  • baLigon (L)-Venus
  • babalEl (E)-Mars

The only issue with this is that it leaves the pairs of Jupiter and Saturn inverted with respect to the Monas Hieroglyphica (they were at bottom, not at top). Still, they are the slowest planets Dee would’ve known about, and are the greater benefic and malefic, respectively, so it makes sense that they’d be afforded some dignity by being placed at top. And it doesn’t much matter anyway, since the ring’s design in its entirety doesn’t quite lend itself to being perfectly ordered combination of the planets as in the MH.

At present, this is a proposal; note that several letters of the ring appear in multiple points of the kings’ names, and that multiple assignments could be made. Still, having tried multiple possibilities, this one seems to match the overall sun-moon-Mercury portion of the MH very well, and Saturn and Jupiter are well-paired, as are Mars and Venus.
