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 Holy Table of Practice Finalized

I was not quite satisfied with the zodiacal HTOP, though the structure was excellent. I knew that somehow the names of God from the Watchtower tablets needed to be included and, indeed, remixed, but how? With 48 letters, the four names resembled the 48 letters of the archangels on the SDA (and the heptagram seemed to be indicated). But the arrangements of letters just weren’t right. Clearly, the main thing that was missing was the angels!

For various reasons I was delayed until today in making the call to King Carmara, yet when he arrived he was kind enough to make the corrections for me. I used a color scheme close to Liber 777’s for the letters (as this was advised) and got a very stable new vision of LIL when I made the call to it. I’m including the latest version of the Enochian tools below, and will update where it appears elsewhere on the blog. You may use it but please do not adapt it:

The general use here is to combine the planetary angels of the original holy table with the zodiacal angels. Obviously, knowledge of essential dignity is key, but with this you can do combinations related to your birth chart for MAJOR remediation. This is not something minor and should be seen as a massive opportunity.

Use it wisely, use it well, use it joyfully.

For Astrologers: Charts of my Gebofal Journey

So this gebofal post is mainly for astrology nerds. Other than beginning on the Sunday sunrise after Passover, this was not an astrologically elected beginning.

Note the culminating Libra full moon, conjunct the Part of Forthne, ruled and received by Venus in fall as the sun, in exaltation by sign, applies to a conjunction (yet both are received by sign by Mars), which, incidentally is at my Lot of Eros. Mars, chart ruler, is received by a separating square with Mercury, which like the moon is also in fall, but is also in exile; Mars is also in a separating trine to Saturn. Saturn is in its domicile and receives Jupiter.

All planets are in their own light. In general, the planets seem fairly well disposed. Mars is my final dispositor.

Now here is the chart for the end of gebofal:

This date follows the days of the Counting of the Omer; it’s after sunset because of the time it took me to read the Angel Ave’s recited Prayer of Enoch, plus Leaf 1 of Amzes Naghezes Hardeh (Liber Loagaeth) after sundown. Once again, we have all planets in their own light, and the Part of Fortune is in Libra again. I am timing the end of gebofal as the end of the reading of Leaf 1, which is 4802 Enochian words, after reading the call to prayer of Enoch. I’ll probably start the latter earlier than sunset to get the timing as close to this chart as possible:

Now, however, we have not one, but four planets in domicile: Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, and Mercury: one each from the four planetary types. We have even more robust reception: a tight applying conjunction of the moon to Mars in Cancer, lending its strength to the malefic in its fall. The peregrine sun is disposed by Venus, which is received by Mercury in Gemini (the latter trined Saturn on the last day I made a call to the Heptarchy, a Wednesday, Mercury’s day, when I called King Carmara for help in giving the power of that day from Mercurial King Bnaspol to Saturnian King Bnapsen (King Bobogel is also called to lend support, having taken Bnapsen’s place on Saturday the 8th).

The Ascendant is in an applying square to its chart ruler, while the benefic of sect is sextile the MC and loosely applying to a trine with Saturn. Both the moon and Mars are injunct Saturn.

The only odd duck here is the sun; other than being in the sign of my natal sun and moon, it seems out of place, except for a trine to Pluto.

At the start of gebofal, I would say the planets start off as an interdependent hodgepodge, with most gaining strength only by reception or exaltation. At the end, they continue to lend strength by reception (and stronger reception at that), but the majority are in their own domicile. The balanced Part of Fortune in Libra suggests that the entire process is bringing out in me a clear balance to my life’s path.

I’m a Leo rising with a Taurus new moon, so the activated houses here are my 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th are all being heavily activated, and also my natal Saturn and Jupiter are activated by transiting angles.

I’ll update this post if the timing shifts.

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 39

Sunrise: Call/Key 11; because this call is the 10th of the spoken calls, most practitioners refer to this as call 10. Call to King Bnaspol. Call to Governor Vixpalg

I made some changes to the pronunciation of angel and names of God in this ritual. Because Aaron Leitch, who painstakingly reconstructed the pronunciation of angelical (i.e., “Enochian”) from the primary source material, has the word “OL” pronounced “oh-el,” it occurred to me to make this change for any name with this, so the name of God, “GAIOL,” becomes “Gah-ih-oh-el,” etc.

I see a rush of air about me, as a sphere. I see a lot of faces, all speaking at once, within it (note that today, Mercury, the planet of communication, is within its domicile of the air sign of Gemini, and that Bnaspol, the king of Mercury (more properly, the sephirah that it rules in Kabbalah, Hod), is today associated with the air tablet and, apparently, Gemini. King Bnaspol appears, and is quite large, perhaps 40-50 feet in height, whitish and windy form.

He takes me to a town, and there he whispers the word “gold” or “diamonds,” and this causes this rush, this power, this rush of people approaching an alleged location filled with gold and diamonds. There’s this mania that takes over; he points particularly to the chatter among the people. There’s a lot of emotion at first, King Bnaspol notes, but this gives way to information (or misinformation, or even disinformation!) being exchanged, or people attempting to exchange it: location, size, amount (of gold or diamonds), that sort of thing.

Then, when the treasure returns from its source, when it’s actually in hand, then it goes to the people who know how to harness it, test it, make sure it’s authentic, identify (the gold as true gold, and the stone as either a diamond or some other precious stone): all sorts of information that we (i.e., people like me!) do not pay much attention to. King Bnaspol notes the care, especially when it comes to a diamond: how many facets to make, what sort of overall cuts to make and how to make them. He also notes the many ways in which gold is manipulated to continue to have that beautiful outward sheen, for example, or perhaps to make it less soft via alloying with silver or with copper, depending on the ultimate desired look of the gold by the person. There’s a lot of information that goes into each of these processes, a lot of discussion at each point along the way. The product at the end of all of this, King Bnaspol is saying, are two things that I’m wearing: the gold-plated lamen and the gold-plated ring, the latter of which is the more important of the two, for “Without this, I shall do nothing.”

“Note the transportation involved in all of this,” King Bnaspol comments. “Once the information is achieved, then the transportation is simple and easy, and people will work very hard to make it simpler and easier,” he adds wryly, “once the site is secure: roads, vehicles, and all the powers of transportation” are implemented. He points out, “Consider the immense amount of information that goes into something simple like a car, or even something simpler, or even something simpler, such as running or walking. There is a constant map that is being updated,” and here he notes the grid cells found in many mammals. “There is a constant map that is updated within an individual,” he remarks.

Here I pause, for a few moments, trying to concentrate past some intrusive thoughts. “There is a constant network of grid cells within an individual,” King Bnaspol repeats, “indicating location, location, location. There is also the occipital lobe, which is very good at trying to project forward and try to estimate location if it is unknown, and is constantly being updated” with information.

King Bnaspol bids me go deeper into trance, so I self-induce a deeper hypnotic state. “Know ye not, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth,” he asks, “that such will be imprinted upon you? More, yea, even more will be required of you. Take heart, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth, the Lord will not give thee more than thy householder responsibilities require. The Most High merely bids you rest, rest, rest.

“These [powers] will be indeed be borne out according to [astrological] sign once again. Take care after your health, and after your ability to rest. Nothing more have I to say to you.”

The vision ends.

Noon: Similar procedure.

Once again, King Bnaspol bids me remain calm. I do so, and once again see him rushing up towards me. He notes the particular leaf that my left hand is upon right now, Leaf 11A:

Leaf 11a, with a central 19×19 square of bold Enochian letters within the overall 49×49 grid of normal Enochian letters.

This half-leaf is one of the more unique ones, along with 10b (which is something of a counterpart with its 21×21 grid), Leaf 1 (both sides, the gargantuan leaf made of words inside the cells(!), the leaves with changing orientations of the letters from 25-28, then change to every other cell being empty around Leaf 29, and then of course the final leaf of 49, which is much easier to make (the most effort went into designing it!). So it was exciting! Note that Leaves 10 and 11 add up to 21, a number we see in Leaf 49 in the five 3×7 tables (also note that, although 105 letters are used, this is from a reduction–left to us magicians, for the angel Galvah did not indicate how they were to be reduced!–from 112. Sooo…tables of 21 made from 112, or 21,112…a palindrome across two numbers. The odd numbers in this, 5 (tables overall) and 7 (taken away from the 112 via the magician’s method), add to 12, and can extend the palindrome further: 21,12,112.

King Bnaspol notes the interesting inversion when one goes from usual order when operating the watchtower tablets, which is to say that this call usually is to earth (and indeed the text of the call references the earth and earthquakes). King Bnaspol is strong in elemental earth: “To whom the earth with her bowels, and secrets what so ever are delivered,” likely due his association with Mercury, which is both exalted and in Domicile in the astrological sign Virgo, an earth sign). King Bnaspol says that because this is Loagaeth/gebofal (as opposed to a specific calling) there’s this inversion in the energy. He notes that my feet are upon the Air/Southern tablet as opposed to what this call is usually associated with, the Earth/Northern tablet. Still, Mercury does receive planetary dignity (domicile) in Gemini, an air sign.

King Bnaspol bids me to note the translation to these four calls (spoken calls 7, 8, 9, and 10 (but actually the calls are 8-11)), as well as the next four calls, for they will shed some light on my understanding. He also bids me make a mental note of this day, May 5th, because this is what I will be referring to, the inversion of the orders when it comes to Loagaeth: this will be of an important interest to me later.

Regardless, he appears to me again in this whitish, windy form, or a whitish smoke. He uses the same example of whispering the word “gold” and notes the different powers of transportation and those of gold and precious stones associated with these (e.g., of demand).

King Bnaspol has us start with Gemini, and attributes the initial communication, the whispering of the word “gold,” to it, that information about that which is coveted or desired: that is Gemini, as is the communication about verify information related to it. Additional things to consider are the information related to the properties therein, as discussed above. Of interest is that the Prince of the Sun, Bornogo, is related to knowledge of metals, and so could be combined with these elemental angels with respect to gold.

There’s an energy coming up off the leaf, which is of interest, but King Bnaspol bids me wait on it. It is the power of seeking information about the most precious of metals, gold, or precious stones. Though not necessarily about knowing such information about these in advance, it is the seeking, coming to know, and communicating the information related to the topics from this morning’s vision (such as identification).

When it comes to the powers of transportation associated with Gemini, King Bnaspol notes the shorter-distance travel (as opposed to longer distance travel, such as would belong to Sagittarius). Again, this is more closely linked with such roads as would belong within a neighborhood, such as a city or neighborhood map, especially if it’s the route one travels daily, knowing that shortest or quickest route, and knowing when the established route is changed. All of that is integrated into most modern smartphones, he notes (this would suggest that the power of the transportation angels related to Gemini could be used on, or in conjunction with, smartphones).

King Bnaspol points me towards that fact there’s a bit of swiftness with respect to Gemini, especially with Mercury in that sign right now! There’s that swiftness of back-and-forth communications of ideas, which is like the chattering between friends: the hustle and bustle that also is associated with the city. Such is his power to increase or decrease that.

He bids me move on to Libra: it is the pleasantness of communication when Venus is there, its domicile. It’s a different flavor from the experience of Venus in Taurus: it’s about etiquette and, “OK, we have all this communication, but how are we going to communicate it to each other in a way that doesn’t cause problems down the line, and cause disagreements thereby.” The beauty, refinement, and elegance of Venus is very much in line with Gold and Precious Stones. These are (and here I get a sense to concentrate!): there’s a sense of opulence with Venus in Libra, whereas Venus in Taurus is much more about easy living, softness, and comfort: feeling good because the body is well taken-care of. Venus in Libra, on the other hand, is etiquette and people feeling comfort and ease with each other, so comfort physically in the case of Taurus and socially in the case of Taurus. So in the case of a diamond gold ring, it’s a centerpiece, it’s a thing for people to talk about, but it’s almost always used in the context of relationships, “Look what So-and-So got me,” which becomes the chatter and gossip that reaffirms the social standing between two people, and among a network of friends. For what it’s worth, it’s fair, for it is something of substance and value.

Next, King Bnaspol alights ol Libra, and on Venus in Libra, with respect to transportation. “Here, it’s about harmony. This was the obsession of many geniuses such as William James Sidis: finding a harmony of transportation: how to cause the least amount of delay, the best sort of social (good, due to the least loss of time), because of the reduced Saturnian influence (or the best kind of Saturnian influence, for Saturn is exalted in Libra!) on account of the discipline. Venus, here, because it’s seeking pleasantness and harmony among people, then reaching agreement and the discipline that requires that is why Saturn is exalted there. At any rate, with respect to transportation: harmonious city planning is clearly at the top of this list, so this is definitely a power that you would consider to wield in advance of whichever city you would move to, or perhaps even consider which cities(‘ powers of transportation) already align themselves with you and your desired goals, if (moving to such) is your endgame, so to speak.

“With respect Aquarius. Here, we have the fixed idea, fixed air. Now, how on earth can fixed air relate to transportation? Fixed air, at the very clearest example, would be the hot air balloon. It’s a very slow, leisurely trip, and is relatively safe”–(considering how little it’s changed from the 18th century!). “It’s definitely steadier than being on an airplane or helicopter. An airplane to some degree is closer to Aquarius than a helicopter, which is much more like Gemini.

“Consider the jeweler,” King Bnaspol moves on. “The air [to cool the metals] must be cool and convey the heat away in a fixed manner, and be ordered in the safety surrounding this cooling process. The entire ventilation must be properly managed, so that steady fixed directionality to air: such is Aquarius related to gold and precious stones and jewelry. Also, the fixing of gold, because in this one case it happens to work well, about information in computer chips: in this sense the Aquarian element is very much at hand.” Generally, he points to how we can use computers, use these air-tablet powers with respect to computers.

Finally, once again with respect to transportation, King Bnaspol adds, “Maintaining a schedule, following that schedule, [and] making sure things are done at the right time at the right place: timing is everything in comedy,” he jokes, intimating that even the delivery (transportation) of a joke could be helped with these angels using the Aquarian astrology energy.

He asks me if I have any questions. I thank him for his thoroughness and I ask about the phrase used to call upon King Bnaspol: “…and hast said to me, here to fore what thou art, there I may know,” and whether he thus knows anything about me that I’m unaware of and that would be helpful for me to know that he could say unto me, “If it please you, and if you be so inclined, you Right Noble King, Bnaspol.” He kindly offers me two notes on me that I accept.

I thank him and ask whether he has anything else. “This is enough. Some you have already suspected, others you need to hear in the moment, because though you know it, it’s important to know” (at that time). I ask if he has anything else, whether it be long-term or short-term. He says: “Much of what your mind is already grinding upon, there I know, and to tell you would be to change the outcome that is desirable unto the Most High. I reply , “Fair enough, I respect that, your Majesty.”

Now he shows me this feeling coming up off of the leaf, Leaf 11a, and that this leaf is the 39th that I have worked with, and opposite that is the 40th (which has a 21×21 grid of bold letters which is centered within the 49×49 grid). This marks the transition to the 40th leaf, he says, which is previewed here. (I’ll note also that in reaching this leaf, these two squares’ dimensions of 19 and 21 add to 40. Also, the difference between the number of cells of these two central grids is 441-361 = 80, which is two times 40. 21 is the number of Aethyrs below the Abyss, and subtracting that from the number of leaves, 49, leaves (heh) 28 left over, which is exactly how many leaves have all 2401 cells filled in. However, he also notes that there is the 3/4 split of the 49 leaves, which is something already worked to be reconciled within this system, as I have mentioned in previous posts. 19, of course is all of the Watchtower tablets, and 30 is the number of Aethyrs.

Thus ends the vision.

Sunset: Similar procedure.

King Bnaspol appears once more in this windy form. As he surrounds me with air as a sphere (similar to yesterday evening’s vision), he says, regarding Governor Vixpalg and Zurchol: they have been helpful, yet he says that I’m getting “a little too high up for them to reach.” This doesn’t seem right. Now he says that the difference between their number of servient angels and the number referenced in the call is even (and that this is a pattern that I would have noticed if I would have been able to take the time to find it). With even numbers, he says, I shouldn’t expect as much help. They’re present “in the sense that you’ve vibrated they’re names,” he says, “but they are less of a factor.”

Now he transports me around the world and says, “I’m transporting you around the world as the air travels.” He notes of the entire of atmosphere of earth: “Note how any given molecule of air, nearly all the air that exists, will eventually reach” all the destinations. “It will constantly move into and out of living creatures,” but for the most part, the atmosphere is circulated. “This air can cover the entire space,” (i.e., the globe), he says. Transportation is in air’s nature: “People used the power of sails to get to where they wished to go, and the only reason they couldn’t quite do so easily on land is that the land was not quite flat enough, whereas the water was easier to transport with.

“Regarding jewels and precious stones,” he reviews, “again this has to do with information as to proper location, identification: things like that, and the proper application and uses of gold and these precious stones.” He adds into this the proper use of stones as far as talismans are concerned, such as astrological magic. Gold has its special place, he says, and that if one were to use these elemental angels associated with gold, that one would have a much easier time entering into Tiphareth (i.e., via the sun): this is of interest to anyone doing Holy Guardian Angel work. He again advises me to note this date for future reference.

King Bnaspol tells me to bear with him for a moment, and he tries to find all of the appropriate reflections of these powers, and is trying to find the proper alignment of them all, and now they are all being beamed into my subtle body. It feels like an even stronger imprinting from last time; it’s both pleasurable and energizing. “Just bear with me, Son of Man, Son of God, Son of Earth,” he commands, “for you are in a delicate place.” Overall, it seems to last at least a full minute.

Observations on the Order of the Watchtower Gebofal Calls (Part 2): Updated!

Update 1: See text.

Update 2: I have added King Carmara & Prince Hagonel to those days in which multiple kings & at least one prince must be called, for they are the high king and prince, respectively. See my write-up of Day 36, coming shortly. This also leaves (heh) both King Carmara & Prince Hagonel called times each.

I think I have something of a scheme (subject to change) which explains the different order that I’ve observed with respect to these leaves. Today (Day 35/Leaf 15), the tablet activated was the Air tablet, and because it’s Saturday, it was King Bnapsen who I called. He said that there will be a reversing, several times, of the tablet order.

Yet I have also noted the following: most of the time, the Enochian calls (which, among other things, are associated with the leaves of Amzes Naghezes Hardeh (Liber Loagaeth) of gebofal) sometimes have large numbers (i.e., in the thousands) in them, and these are relatively close to the number of servient angels associated with zodiacal kings in the Aethyrs. Yet there are some calls which do not have them.

Thinking through both of these discrepancies, I had a tentative order to the remaining days’ workings; it was beautiful, it was, in King Bnapsen’s words, “clever,” but “wrong.” Rather than show the original, here’s what he hacked with me during today’s solar noon scrying. I’ll link to this after the fact.

The only thing I’ll note is that tomorrow, Sunday, I will actually call on Prince Bornogo (in addition to King Bobogel). Other days I’m either calling on only the king or a king and prince jointly. Saturn and the sun invert their associations for exaltation and fall, so there are two days when their influences are combined (“the last shall be first, and the first, last.“)

The second of these, the last elemental day (yet n.b. that two watchtower calls remain on Thursday & Friday, and Leaf 1 I will read on Saturday), falls on Wednesday, yet King Bnapsen associated it with the Sun and Saturn. When I call on Prince Brorges the Saturday prior, it is nonetheless during Mercury’s hour). Mercury is mercurial! By then, astrological Mercury will be in exact trine to Saturn, and the sun the sun is transiting will be ruled by Venus, who will be in Mercury’s sign of Gemini. Finally, the sephirothic & planetary switch between Raphael and Michael for Tiphareth, Hod, Mercury, and the sun seem somehow reconciled with Saturn in this plan.

In general, he says, this is tailored to me and my natal chart (King Bnapsen notes that my Mercury is in Aries, the sign of the sun’s exaltation), so your results may vary.

Finally, note that the tablet order changes from:

• Water-Earth-Fire-Air (West-North-East-South, which suggests the night, a reversal of the day), to
• Air/South-Water/West-Earth/North-Fire/East (shifting the order by a single tablet), then
• Air/South-Water/West-Earth/North-Fire/East (again), and finally:
• Fire-Water-Earth-Air, which, interestingly, has the “first and last” from the previous two rounds reversed.

Here’s the table:

Gebofal, Day 34

Sunrise: Vibrated the title of leaf 16b. Call to Heptarchical King Baligon. Call/Key 16, (because it’s the 15th spoken call, most practitioners refer to this as call 15). Call to Left foot placed on the seal of King Baligon (over the fire & earth tablets) as a final test of the scheme. Vibrated, in turn, Governor Abriond, Zodiacal King Cadaamp, and King Baligon (seven times each–this is how many times I do so for the preceding calls, sorry for noting this stuff after the fact). After these, the energy from the air tablet was obvious, so I moved the other tablets out of the way and placed the seal atop the air tablet and then both feet upon the seal and tablet. I then vibrated the God-names of MOR, DIAL, and HCTGA, seven times each–update this should be MPH ARSL GAIOL based on the Tabula Recensa. I changed my original approach based on incomplete information from an otherwise reliable source–or I just read them wrong lol).

King Baligon just has me breathe easily. He says he knows it’s been a lot, and kind of confusing, because I’ve been getting these lessons piecemeal, whereas in the Aethyrs it’s more of a stepwise process. Here, it’s been more like, “Here’s this chunk, here’s this other chunk,” etc. These are all roots, he reminds me: roots to the issues of the heart.

He takes me into the clouds, into the air, and he has me observe for just a moment the sphere about the earth, the aerial sphere (i.e., the atmosphere). He notes that something like this same sphere is what I will see when all of these powers are steadied within me. “Just note,” he encourages: “there’s something so beautiful about just having fresh air,” and I reply, “Oh yes! This is something that I took for granted for far too long!”

King Baligon muses, “The nice thing about air is that it conducts sound. People can hear, and they can hear music, and nothing else compares to music. It’s beautiful, it lifts up the soul, and it’s wonderful. The issue with music is that it’s this grand communication, and even when you make these calls,” he says, “you are reading. You are looking, so that’s the fiery part, but you are also speaking, you’re converting that. The energy of conversion is itself fire, but the sound itself, and the way it hits the ears: all of that is conducted through air.

“Let’s ponder what air does,” he suggests. “Air[, like water,] also dissolves, but only to a degree. The main thing that air does is convey, usually not particles so much, but waves. So we have this wave-particle duality, and much of the energy transmitted by fire is of a wave-like nature,” so he notes that I was pondering the discussion of electromagnetism, and how I was concerned about weak force vs. strong force. “Weak force,” he reminds me, “is associated with air, electromagnetism with fire.” Electromagnetism, he says, really is the big one when it comes to this wave-like issue, and air(/weak force) is also like this (note this is unclear to me).

“When you think about a transfer of air, there is a great cycle here on Terra” King Baligon mentions (note: I’m substituting “Terra” for “Earth” throughout this post to avoid confusion with elemental earth), “but it’s very subtle. The plants do their thing, the animals and fungi do their thing, humans and animals do their thing, and so on, but of interest here is the fact that it all comes into one thing. This is not unlike water.”

I interject politely to ask how this relates to points [in geometry]. “Here we have the concept of a–it’s a bit more harmonious, so hence why Venus is here. But it’s more of a harmonious occupation of a space filled with points. So Saturn is happy here because agreement can be reached, like it or not, across the various points.” I interject again: “I’m really hoping for a profound insight, as best I can.”

King Baligon takes my request well, and says, “Let’s get to it.” He goes through a few visual examples, but we settle on first, the picture of wind blowing a wind turbine. He notes that on Terra, most of the winds are caused by the uneven heating of Terra. “And you’ll see that: first of all, air requires an open space to do its magic. However, it can be compressed and studied, and can turn fetid and putrid in the event of air being locked in a closed system, so it prefers openness. So, openness, when you think of a [mathematical] field,” and I’m shown a mathematical grid upon a black background for simplicity, “and you think of openness, you think of this air upon it in an open field.” He takes me to a view of the grid. “What air can do is go anywhere, and how fast it goes depends largely upon the amount of energy [elemental fire], but it wants to go everywhere. It wants to go into water and can dissolve into it. It can go into fire as a flame, feeding it that way. It can go faster or slower, depending upon the amount of energy.

“Most specifically,” he emphasizes, “what air does is it can clear out, but it can also bring in. So, usually, on this planet, it can clear out pollution and smoke from, say, a campfire, and it can also bring in fresh air from trees and such. But both the ancient and medieval thinkers were concerned with fetid air, and the need for fresh air: and all of this was true! The quality of the air matters. And so, that’s why pollution is such a big deal, because air [on this planet] has limits in its ability to carry the bad things away, because it’s not, strictly speaking, completely open [over a short length of time], and it cannot, on its own, completely undo the nature of that which has been entered into it. Same thing for water,” he remarks.

I ask, “What else about air?” King Baligon replies, “Note that the transfer of air tends to happen not with earth, but within water,” hence why Venus is exalted in the water sign of Pisces, because Venus (ruler of Libra) can dissolve into it very well. Nonetheless, Venus also rules Taurus. It’s happy there for a different reason. In Libran air, Venus is happy because of the free flowing of points, the balance of points: the fact that air will naturally undo vacua, and each point will flow to wherever it is already going to flow, absent outside interference. “It’s just going to go where it’s going to go. This is a simple lesson!” he cries, kiddingly.

“Okay!” I cry back. Is there anything else he has to show me? “No, this will be a much shorter series of visions.” I thank him and thus ends the vision.

Noon: Similar procedure.

I feel energy come up off the tablet, now the seal, and now off of the leaf of Amzes Naghezes Hardeh (Liber Loagaeth), and to some degree the table. The angels are bidding me to chill out. Now King Baligon bids me take his hand, extended from a cloud, and we’re in the air again.

“Let’s take each of these [air astrological signs] in turn,” he cuts right to it. “So what does Gemini do? Gemini, the twins: it is communication, it is the circulation of air and sound. This is how it is best thought of.” He makes an aside, “We may even go in reverse [zodiacal] order.”

King Baligon continues: “But it is the circulation air: it goes from one source and goes to another, and then returns back, and then back, and forth. This could be a bigger cycle, from A to B to C and ultimately to Z, and then back to A again: or A to Z and then reversing that pattern. This is the returning of the air, the spreading out of the air: the point which, again, is in an open field, but here we have the tendency of air, it can go anywhere! and so it may return to the same spot. This is air: this is how these points manifest.

“Looking at Aquarius,” King Baligon transitions, “the easiest way to think about this, obviously, is what we have right now: fixed air (i.e., air fixed by mask and PPE use), fixed ideas, and, oftentimes the reality or actualization of that idea, that which needs to be communicated, does not match the ideal, and so it is very depressing to the individual. Hence, they often just want to walk away from people,” he chuckles. I’ll note that I saw a meme of this earlier this year on AstroTwitter, which essentially was someone saying to an Aquarius, “Hey, you’re my best friend.” The friend approaches the Aquarius, who reciprocates the expression of friendship. Then, inexplicably, the Aquarius walks away. It’s like, “What?” So the closeness is one of ideas, and the air of Aquarius tends to want to just stay in one spot. So it’s not necessarily fetid air, but it could be like that, but the sign is ruled by Saturn, so you could have these stuck ideas which do not want to change. On the lighter side, it could be like a sealed capsule (like a space capsule or a submarine) of fixed air which goes into outer space or into the depths of the ocean. The air is sealed within, and the submariner or astronaut has enough time to live in that capsule–similar to the “castles in the sky” idea put forward, again, by Austin Coppock–for some time, and then come back down and report whatever there is to communicate. Such a person would do that because the goal of that (in the case of scientific submarines! and space missions) was science, which was to see what could be communicated via such means.

Finally, we have Libra. Libra is a difficult one for me, King Baligon tells me: it’s my third house, hence the house of Goddess, but Venus, the ruler of the 3rd house, is in the 9th house, the house of God. What I’m told is that at its ideal, it balances, and you see that even with someone like Stephanie Miller, whom I have listened to. She is a Libra sun in a day chart; she did have more of a team-like energy about her, circulating communication about her team, a Venusian balance of harmony (yet she maintains pointed political critiques). Generally speaking, the tone of her show is pleasant, and even if it can’t be pleasant, well, at least let’s make some jokes about it, and the angels remind me that cynical Saturn tends to have a cold and dry wit in response to the things going wrong, and is exalted in Libra.

I try to concentrate into this, and King Baligon says, “Let’s take a deeper look at Libra, which means ‘scales.’ We see this in relationships, right? This is the creative use of air: wind blowing one way here, and another way here in order for harmony. Harmony is a key signification of Libra, and what do you think of when you think of with music. It is the harmony–the collection of sounds, in such a way that the air moves. It communicates sounds that way, via sound waves. So we have communication (Gemini), the fixity of what is communicated (hence, “castles in the sky”), and, finally, we have the creative impulse of Libra, to either create harmony of the thoughts and communications of people (groups of friends, for example), or we have music itself.”

The angels ask me to concentrate on this, and actually the sense I’m getting–King Baligon, who I now see in classic medieval angelic form (with wings), he’s saying that the thing I’m seeing now is that I have completed this first round about the elements, so it will be completely finished tonight. However, because I’m more than halfway done with this round so he wants to let me know: “Yes, so the issue with getting at the square root of the circle:” (see yesterday’s post) “the problem is similar to getting at the square of the circle” (squaring the circle).

King Baligon illuminates me: “The square root of the number of degrees of the circumference [plus one for the center]”–361–“is 19; in order to square the circle, however, you need to take the square root of π (the side length of the square). You see how you need to get at the root of the circle (or the irrational transformative constant of the circle), in order to square the circle. But in order to get at the square root of that circle, you need to get at the squaring of the square (a square of side length 1 has a perimeter of 4, and squaring that length leads to a perimeter (and area) of 16, the number of elemental watchtower calls). Add this to the “mystery of the trinity” spoken of by the angel Galvah: this can be derived by multiplying a diameter of 19 times π = 59.7 ≈ 60 by rounding, the number of degrees of an equilateral triangle. Furthermore, going on to inscribe an equilateral triangle within this circle gives the triangle a side length of 9.5 * √3 = 16.45 ≈ 16 by rounding, to each of three sides (16,3,361: “the last shall be first; and the first, last“); again the same number of watchtower calls, with three remaining.

Everything I said yesterday, he’s giving me a huge clap, because I was saying everything, but now it’s clear the way that everything is lining up. He says, “You need to get that exaltation in Libra [symbolized by the squaring of the circle] in order to do so, so that all of the ideas can come together in harmony.”

I’m very pleased with all of this. I thank the angels and the Divine. The angels add: “Tonight, it’s going to be a little different, but you’re going to get the sense of the air about an individual and their aura, but you’ll also start to see into and get a preview into the actual thoughts and communications that are going on, and several things will become clear to you at once. The correspondence of the classical elements to each of the universal forces: that will be one. The correspondence of the classical elements to the usual suspects (astrology, etc.), and finally this will happen not only with an individual whom you’re encountering but also within a group dynamic. It will be a massive change.”

King Baligon is just giving me a lot of love and warm feeling right now, just so that my heart will be ready for this, so I’m expressing gratitude, but I notice a little bit of a lamprey like monster, and King Baligon says, “This is it: you’re getting into the thorns. They are not about you as opposed to you holding the thorns.” I say, “OK,” and express further gratitude.

“This is the beginning of digestion, so do not worry: you’re just being digested now for the rest of this process. The end is imminent.”

Thus ends the vision.

Sunset: Similar procedure.

I feel a whole-body buzz at the arrival of King Baligon. He notes the breath of fresh air. He says to consider “someone who has music in their soul or their heart.” Describing someone this way is to say that they have found their harmony with themselves and with the universe that they did not have before. “And so, with this: consider what it means to receive air from another, and what it means to take air from another. When we say that ‘air has been taken out of the lungs’: a freedom has been lost, an openness has been lost.” (Note: or even that one has lost one’s spirit!). “Being ‘free to fly the friendly skies’ means there is no limit to where one can go.

“Very simple expressions,” King Baligon remarks, “but they serve a point here. So, ideally, because of this competition for the same air,” (i.e., freedom within a given, otherwise-open area), “agreements must be reached. One person wants the freedom to take money from another person, but that other person says, ‘Well, I will, if…’. It has to go beyond mere ‘Let’s talk about this,’ because you begin talking about the idea of it, with Gemini, and you develop a sense of harmony that could be reached if you work together,” (as with Venus in Libra), “and then that harmony must be enforced by agreements such as with Saturn” (in Libra), “but also, these agreements are informed by what an ideal actualization of an idea may be,” (Aquarius), “and then it’s never going to live up to that, with a very strong Saturn. Or, one learns to accept [something] close enough to one’s ideal.

“So that’s what it means. So when one is providing air, one is perhaps giving the idea, or the ability, the freedom of communication to speak about things that perhaps they did not dare speak, and in speaking about something, one is allowing for the elaboration of these points. In other words, when air is compressed, or not allowed the freedom to move about,” and here King Baligon cautions that this is slightly different from Aquarian fixed air, but we will return to this idea. “This is an uncirculated air that just sits and doesn’t circulate. Consider this in relation to the heart: if the air is sitting, if this tendency of the heart to want to move about openly, in ways that speak to it, but is not able to: then suddenly it becomes constricted, and it seeks smaller and smaller avenues with which to move. It seeks to find the openness, and finding little or none, its dreams tend to die out. Its view of what is possible tends to die out. The geometry collapses, or even if it doesn’t collapse, it becomes rather dull,” (like a balloon which only expands on a fourth of its surface, unable to measure correctly to the center from the circumference).

“It doesn’t make connections among other points,” King Baligon adds, sadly, “because, though it moves, the limitation of a point that cannot reach out and make a connection with another point is problematic. So, the problem is that the relationships or connections between other points (such as those with another person or from one idea to another) are lost, or are not made [to begin with]. That’s ultimately the issue there. Similarly, with restricted air when it comes to Libra, connections are lost: this time not between ideas, necessarily but points and systems between people, or as someone’s ideas about whether they are allowed to relate and their own behavior.

“And finally,” King Baligon wraps up the air trio, “when it comes to Aquarius, when air is restricted or limited or lacking, then a person’s ability to create an idea about how things ought to be, how rules ought to be, become restricted. Those become thoughtcrime,” King Baligon concludes.

I ask whether there be anything else, and he says no, because the introduction of air is merely the reverse of all of these. Someone who has too much of this maybe gets a little too focused on the ideas of freedom, or where one can go or what one can do, and it just becomes a lot of ideas: a lot of ideas about doing something, and then never doing it, and that’s a problem, and this is where the introduction of [elemental] earth could be helpful.

King Baligon says that’s it. “Good job! No hints as far as tomorrow” (when King Bnapsen of Saturn does not line up well with the sign of Water, which means either he will have poorer dignity or the associated tablets of the next four days will follow a different pattern), but to indeed call King Bnapsen.

Once again, I’m so grateful to the angels for this, and thus ends the vision.

Observations on the Order of the Watchtower Gebofal Calls (Part 1)

I’ve noted experientially in other posts from Days 29-34 the apparent order of the watchtower tablets, which seem to match neither the order of the Tabula Recensa nor or the original table. Rather, and what I’ve been able to gather from experiencing the energy of the tablets under my feet (feel free to confirm, if you yourself undertake gebofal), the tablets themselves seem to follow the pattern of Water-Earth-Fire-Air. This follows a shifted pattern of the Tabula Recensa, where instead of starting at Fire/East, one would begin in the West and proceed clockwise until Air/South is reached. In the northern hemisphere (where Dee and Kelley received the tablets), this would indicate the elemental revelations beginning at sunset, or a night chart with the sun angular in the 7H. Thus, the magician is relating and interacting with another, (i.e., with God and the angels).

Because I started on a Sunday, the final Aethyr came on a Monday, meaning that Tuesday through Friday (today), I’ve had the kings of these days–Babalel (Mars), Bnaspol (Mercury), Bynepor (Jupiter), and Baligon (Venus). The first elemental calling (usually called “call 18” but, if you shift these Watchtower calls by one to account for the unspoken call 1, then it’s technically call 19) was therefore to Water on Tuesday, the day of Mars, with King Babalel, who is “Mighty and Wonderful in Waters.” Of the water signs, Mars’ greatest essential dignity is in Scorpio, which is the Night house of that planet. The following Heptarchical kings, and their planets, signs, elements (as I have received them this week), and house of the planet (i.e., day or night) are listed below:

• Bnaspol (“To whom the Earth with her bowels, and secrets what so ever are delivered”)-Mercury-Virgo (in which Mercury is both exalted and in Domicile), Earth sign (and tablet), night house.
• Bynepor-Jupiter-Sagittarius-Fire sign (and tablet), Day house
• Baligon-Venus-Libra-Air sign (and tablet), Day house

Note that all four of these signs cover a continuous order. Additionally, the signs have triplicity of each planet exactly once, and the two projective (sometimes called “masculine,” a term I don’t like) signs’ planets are all those signs which appear flipped via a sect-based contra-antiscia to their degrees of exaltation in the Ensign layout.

Note that because this order is for gebofal, there’s something of the “last shall be first, and the first, last” reversibility that the angels like to do. But the West-first order is also suggestive of a night chart, just as the contra-antiscia exaltation format.

Gebofal, Day 32

Sunrise: Call/Key 18 (most practitioners refer to this as Call 17, since it is the 17th spoken call). Call to King Bnaspol. Call to Zodiacal King Zingen & Governor Zaxanin of the Aethyr of TOR, since the former, in that Aethyr, is associated with 7333 servient angels, which is close to the “7336” referenced in this call.

Note: For this scrying, I placed the seal of King Bnaspol on the water/air tablets. Although I certainly felt energy from his seal, as far as the tablets go, I definitely felt the energy come up from the heel of my left foot, the Earth tablet. So, it seems as though either the strength of the king overrides the tablet (King Bnaspol/Mercury being strong in earth, i.e., Virgo, an earth sign, is where Mercury is both in domicile and exaltation), or, more likely, the order is shifted from the Tabula Recensa. Here is my proposal for the order of energy based on gebofal (recalling that I started on a Sunday and have followed the days of the week throughout, such that today’s Leaf, 18, falls on a Wednesday), based on my perceived activation of the energy of the tablets (recall that yesterday, I perceived that not only King Babalel, but also the water tablet were activated), as follows:

1. Original Table order of the Watchtower tablets: Fire/East-Earth/South-Air/West-Water/North
2. Tabula Recensa order: Fire/East-Air/South-Water/West-Earth/North
3. “Last shall be first” Tabula Recensa order (sunset is first, midday is last): Water/West-Earth/North-Fire/East-Air/South

This will need to confirmed based on the following four tablets, but is my working hypothesis for now.

To the vision: I see a sphere; it is Earth, but I’m only seeing land; it is elemental earth. King Bnaspol approaches and has me just put my feet on dry land. He tells me that this will be a slower vision because it is earth. I’m seeing gnomes, and I note the energy as described above. I begin talking during the vision about the scheme of the planets, and King Bnaspol says wryly and playfully, “We’ll see.”

He asks me to consider earth for a moment. Earth is solid, and is an anchor. It can be considered to be the points of geometry themselves. Yet at the same time, as Earth alone, they’re in an arrangement that can slowly move over time. King Bnaspol really wants me to get my hands into this astral dirt that I’m in, so I do. “Feel it,” he bids me, “think about what worms do. They slowly push their way around and through, and get whatever they can. Think about the sign of Capricorn, the goat.” That goat just goes through the land, he says. The sea-goat, he says, is just the goat at its “goatiest” (here I pause to reflect on a sea-goat ruler of time, Pricus), trying to have a somewhat better means of traveling through, but once it finds itself on land, it’s a little bit tougher (in the myth of Pricus, his children come to land and over time lose their tails and must make do with the slower land life of having to get by on four legs).

“If you think of the bull, the goat, or even the maiden in the field,” he says, “there’s this recognition that earth should be changed, and then there’s this change, and then it’s like, ‘OK: let’s stop. Let’s keep things how they are here.'” It’s dried out, if need be: there’s this acknowledgment of this need for moisture, but there’s this big tension between the two. On the one hand, in the case of a ceramic pot, it needs to be able to contain water, so it needs to be dried (one of the qualities of earth is dryness) so much so that it can be a seal against the dissolution of water.

King Bnaspol shows me the [elemental] earth sphere again. He says to consider the next layer down, the molten core. All of these points together are so close, so packed together (as an aside, he notes the density of the sun, which, though largely made of hydrogen, is nonetheless a thousandfold more dense than the Earth’s atmosphere; and upon typing this up I looked up the density of the earth’s core, which is more than twice as dense as the Earth as a whole). The heat is a result of the compactness creates tension among the points themselves; the structure is unsustainable and (here I get a note from King Bnaspol as I type this up that the energy is partly from multiple point unable to “become a single point” or for one point to “impose itself on another” without tension and energy being generated in the system as they approach such a state).

Now King Bnaspol turns to the topic of density. “That’s the big thing about [elemental] earth, there’s much more compactness.” He takes me to a neutron star. He says, “Let’s review what happens to a neutron star: the density is high, things collapse in, there’s no more fuel (any remaining fuel that could have been is gassed out by the supernova stage). Everything else is so heavy and so dense, that everything else is essentially compact neutrons, which are arranged in the tightest possible formation. There’s plenty of energy to be had for a neutron star–and here he has me concentrate deeply (he know it’s tough: “It’s tough to think about dirt,” he kids)–“If you consider how compact that is: analogies have been made to a diamond.” He’s trying now to show me the spirit of a neutron star. He’s saying the density is as tightly packed as points can be, and it’s kind of a drag on account of that, but nonetheless, it does have this beautiful formation to it. It represents something of an absolute limit–perhaps not perfectly so: there are exceptions to every rule, he adds–but the points are very tightly packed. He has me concentrate on this geometry, and the tightness of the points together.

Now King Bnaspol is saying to consider “the bummer around that,” someone who is too earthy, too stuck. “Such a person will not be able to change, will not be able to alter their formation. If a person is like this, obviously the biological systems will do what they’re going to do” (i.e., age and die), “but they themselves will be stuck. Their patterns will be stuck about them. They will see no need to change. They will see the structure that they have as being the ideal structure. Note how your heart leaped,” he continues to me, “when you thought about a sphere of points all dense together: it has this beautiful geometry to it, “but it’s not a true geometry. It’s not a true spherical consciousness in the sense of a center and a surface of a sphere, or a center by which the circumference is known, and vice versa, because everything is filled in.” (Note: here I consider points in the sense of not being conscious of themselves to be part of a sphere, and with no sense of relationship to other points). Ultimately, it’s just a very round hunk of gunk: very dense gunk!

He says that someone like this can, on the one hand, be very good at imposing a structure. “This is your forte,” he tells me: “imposing structure, imposing order if you sense it, or have an indescribable desire to do so, but on the other hand, there’s not as much call for development. In your case, you needed fire”–(my chart is heavy in fire)–to ultimately bring that about. Yet you nonetheless have still surrounded yourself with a highly structured environment in which to do so,” he points out, clearly referring to the entirety of both Enochian and the full-time job and householder responsibilities that I hold in order to make it possible.

“That’s okay!” he adds. “If you think about children: children need structure. Children need routine, because they need some of that in order to grow, but on the other hand,” (note, reader, the Mercurial expressions King Bnaspol uses: I’m here for it!), “that can also be a double-edged sword, where they think that all they need to be is structure, and that was the problem that you had as you transitioned into adulthood, is learning, ‘OK, where does this structure end, and where do who I am, as an identity, begin?’

“And that’s the problem: the real problem is this lack of freedom that this order brings to the mind, to the routines, to the path of the individual.” So he points out particularly that a couple of months from now, “Some stuff is going to happen to you that will offer you such freedom as you have not known. It will, on the one hand, be somewhat scary, but on the other hand: ‘Hey! A chance to do something different! A breath of fresh air!’ That’s another element that’s not included in this,” he says. “But I rule it,” he grins slyly and playfully.

He says he’s going to, once again, leave the lessons about the individual earth signs, but they will be relatively straightforward for me. He continues: “We’ve talked about someone who has this”–the earth element–“so let’s get down to, much as we”–the angels–“had with water, let’s get down to the purpose of earth. The purpose is structure. The purpose is that arrangement which does not change for a given period of time, so that other things about it can change according to an elegant unfolding. So it is this structure about which other things may unfold or enfold. It is a state of continuing to have been unfolded or enfolded.

“It is the present state which does not change in the future state for a given length of time.” He repeats: “It is a present state which does not change in the future state over a given length of time, which is not to say that it will never change, but it is that state-to-state consistency of the period of time which is of interest to the individual. Hence,” he continues, “you think about things associated with earth signs: stability, structure, order.”

I ask if he or any of the other angels upon whom I have called have anything else to say. “No,” he says. He says other things which he says are not relevant to the write-up, and then the vision ends.

Noon: Similar procedure. This time, having confirmed to my satisfaction the active Watchtower tablet of this call, I also vibrate seven times the northern godnames of “OIP,” “TEAA,” and “PDOCE” (Update: although I vibrated these godnames on this day, I will be using the Tabula Recensa names going forward, and Earth is associated with “MOR,” “DIAL,” “HCTGA”). As with yesterday, I dispense with the remaining tablets and rest both of my feet on the seal of King Bnaspol, and on the Earth tablet underneath it.

King Bnaspol appears and is leading me. Upon my mentioning it, the angels confirm, “Yes, we are the first [part of the Enochian system], so we are here to lead.

“Let’s resume where we left off, which is to say, the actual signs [of the zodiac].” I see an earthen sphere [elemental earth]. He says very simply, “Virgo: let’s talk about it in terms of giving Virgo, and receiving Virgo.” He alludes to my natal chart, and continues, “Giving Virgo is giving the [geometric] points [of consciousness], the emphasis of the points, in terms of: the earth is given, so as to give the desired arrangement. So, this could mean changing things around; it’s as if the points are fine, but there needs to be just a tweak so that they are properly laid out. The energy of Virgo is to be clear, to clearly see the points, to identify with the points such that the desired arrangement of the points is achieved.

“Next, let us go to Capricorn, since that is what you are least familiar with. Capricorn–” and here he bids me be quiet so that I can clearly hear the transmission. I do a 7-7-14 breath. He shows me a point, and he shows me another point. “The issue with Capricorn is that they can see the arrangement of points over time. So this is partly why they are so desirous of ancient things of value, things which have kept their value over time, not so much that there’s this by-gone feeling: the value of the thing over time is that it’s this way that the past can speak to the present, or possibly even the future.

Here, I’m substituting “terrestrial” for where King Bnaspol references “Earthly” in order to reduce confusion between Planet Earth and elemental earth. “Consider the [terrestrial] sphere,” (here King Bnaspol is is referencing the vision from Day 30), “as it meets the Heavenly sphere. What Capricorn wishes to do is take from the elemental energy of Adam Qadmon, and it wishes to combine that with the present [terrestrial] sphere as a way to meet up with that heavenly sphere. If the heavenly sphere is the future state” (as I’ve previously suggested a way to consider heaven: a goal or future state), “and the [terrestrial] sphere is the present state, Capricorn is seeking to take those points of value from this present terrestrial state, and to take those points, those earthy points–remember that the points are identified with earth and with matter–what Capricorn is seeking to do is to take those points and arrange them in such a manner such as they will be perpetuated into the future.

“In order to do that, it needs to understand cycles of history. It needs to understand time. So it is creating something,” (Capricorn is a cardinal sign), “but it has this vast time scale at hand. It’s almost as if it understands this radius or circumference of both earth and heaven, in that sense.

“And finally, Taurus, which is notorious for liking things as they are, but also enthusiastic about a given change when the arrangement obviously is not there. Why? Because the desire here is for the arrangement of points that–”

Here, he cautions me: “Your impulse is to say, ‘Reduce suffering’: that is not it. The arrangement of points…” And here I pause to listen carefully. “Your heart is speaking very loudly, and I’m trying to have you listen to what I have to say.”

I pause for another 7-7-14 breath. This seems to clear the transmission enough for him to continue. He shows me a bunch of seeds, and a farmer working in a field. What he’s saying is that the goal of Taurus is to arrange the seeds, and to arrange the circumstances about them, to try to ensure that a certain seed grows. Extrapolating, Taurus seeks to arrange the circumstances that the [desired] unfolding [or enfolding] takes place. So, in that sense, it is the fixed earth, the earthiest of earths. But he cautions me: “Ensuring the overall circumstances such that the overall unfolding takes place means that a desired change to how things unfold can be problematic for Taurus. Conversely, when a desired change is seen as needed by Taurus, but it cannot or will not happen, that is equally problematic.”

I ask King Bnaspol if he has anything else. He says, “No,” this was it. I double-check, since I have garbled the transmission twice this scrying, but he confirms that the answer is “No.” I thank him, and the vision ends.

Sunset: Similar procedure as noon.

King Bnaspol appears, and is appeared by the Zodiacal King Zinggen, and Governor Zaxanin is here to bless King Zinggen’s presence. They’re saying that the reason King Zinggen (associated with Aquarius zodiacally) is that they want to draw my attention to the servient angels, and they’re saying that there’s going to be a pattern that I will recognize in perhaps a week’s time as I go through these Watchtower calls. Specifically, this pattern will relate to the days in which, rather than a large number in the thousands appearing as part of the call (fairly close to at least one of the number of servient angels that a zodiacal king has within a given Aethyr), instead a smaller number (less than 100) is part of the call, and thus no good near Zodiacal-King-by-Aethyr number is available. (For now, my plan is to simply not call on a zodiacal king for such days). Yet tonight the angels foretell that these days will become important to me.

King Zinggen is here as some moral support, I’m told (with more detail expressed at the end of the call).

Once again I’m shown this [elemental] earthly sphere. King Bnaspol takes the lead and says, “Consider the exchange now,” but I’m distracted by King Zinggen, who mentions, “I will be of interest to you on Saturday: you will see why. But I still want to be here, I still want to observe this.”

King Bnaspol shows me the sphere again. Once again I’m shown that it can be cut in half, or cut deeply, such that you could reach a point deep in this earth that all of this matter is concentrated. He says to consider how the person who who goes from feeling “understuck” to appropriately stuck or anchored. For example, consider someone with their head always in the clouds, or always emotional, generally anyone who needs that cool and dry feeling that comes from having something else to turn to: something for their emotions and ideas and passions to wrap around! With elemental earth, it feels real.

With these points of geometry, they’re saying, it’s important that they take on this sense of reality. This is what King Bnaspol is saying is the great benefit of bringing elemental earth in. It’s a link; it’s not so much that any other action in this world is unreal; it’s that it can feel unreal. There’s this sense of authenticity: a point is a point is a point! “It is this point, here; or consider when someone ‘makes a point’ in conversation. Then that point is made, and from that we hang all of this other stuff. We understand that point in relation to other points. It’s not a murk, or a fog, where nothing is clear, and things spookily appear out of it. No: if there’s a system to how the points are arranged, you can understand what’s going on. And having that density of that point on which other things can be hung and understood in relationship to each other is very important.

“So, somebody who has that density of their points could potentially give that to somebody else who doesn’t. But somebody who gives more of that to someone who already has that, it can A) start being confusing (because more points are introduced which must be accounted for), and B) somebody can start feeling bogged down in terms of responsibilities piling up, or just, ‘Can I just not have so much reality right now?'” Now Zinggen chimes in: “This is the sense of Sorrow [associated with Saturn], especially of that [elemental] earthy sorrow: dealing with that dryness, that ‘These points are here. This is where they are. This is all there is to it. Nothing else to be done about it. That’s it.'”

So I’m now shown the terrestrial sphere, not to be confused with the elemental earth sphere. “For the person giving [elemental earth],” King Bnaspol is saying, “they just can offer that to somebody who may not have that, and it’s like they understand this sense of truth about the points of geometry” (i.e., of geometric consciousness). He continues: “They’re lending something about themselves or their own consciousness, or own awareness, or own perspective, what-have-you, to the person who lacks it. So, getting back to this terrestrial sphere: what happens when people do this? Well, they have a potential to be close to this point–as we saw with Capricorn especially, but also Taurus and Virgo to a lesser degree–they have the potential to excite people about the reality of the situation. ‘Real change!’ But they also have a potential to arrange things in a way that isn’t quite the way that it’s being sold. It can be a long process, because sometimes the details aren’t apparent about exactly how things need to be arranged. Sometimes the other things need to come up, and so on,” King Bnaspol finishes.

“But that’s okay,” the angels tell me. King Bnaspol addresses me, “The point is that, when you get to this point, it may behoove you to consider: does the reality of the situation need to be made apparent?” Here he considers truths about oneself that loved ones may not understand, for example religious differences. “Does that reality need to become apparent? And how would it be, and what would the nature of that be? Perhaps bringing up a little bit less of that matter [is wise], which is why you hold back so much to those loved ones, and you have to. You have to,” he repeats, “because you know that the introduction of the reality of who you are would ultimately lead to conflagration. [It’s] not anybody’s fault, it’s just sort of the way that everything is arranged right now: and it can be disarranged! You know the exact points to think about which would lead the disarrangement which would allow you to bring the change in that you want.” I laugh because he reads me like a book.

King Bnaspol now receives some assistance from King Babalel, and King Zinggen is here to help mediate the two. (Note: Mercury is in a sign-based square with Saturn, which is both in the sign of Aquarius and is in its domicile there; Mars (for Babalel) is in Cancer, which is sextile to Mercury by sign but not closely, but Cancer is ruled by the moon, which is in Sagittarius, whose ruler, Jupiter, is in Aquarius with Saturn). The discussion is about the dynamic between water and earth, and how I have done my best to bring forward my water side when it comes to matters related to these loved ones, to not come at is as a targeted hose, but instead to be a nurturing force via the Cancerian energy that I can muster and to transport what I can via the force of my Piscean energy. “At any rate,” he finishes, “consider this! Consider what you’re bringing!” He adds, finally, that yes, just as with yesterday’s insight that I will be more aware of the amount of water available to someone, I’ll also get that respect to elemental earth. Tomorrow I’ll get fire, and Friday I’ll get air. The angels are still kind of keeping Saturday a coy secret from me.

Regardless, I express my gratitude to all of the angels. I ask one more thing about how all of this relates to compassion. The angels say that this is the how-to of compassion. This is understanding the root of the heart. He says that I will get a sense of when it may be good to pick a fight when it comes to fire, or be good to be soluble in order to bring transportation of nutrients to someone, or to produce a hose to clean something off. I express my gratitude to them, and thus ends the vision.

Gebofal, Day 31: Starting Watchtower Calls

Sunrise: Call/Key (spoken) 19 (typically associated with the Earth Watchtower Tablet; note that most practitioners refer to this as Call 18): because I rarely make this call, I made it three times. Call to King Babalel (once again using the call in Scott Stenwick’s Mastering the Mystical Heptarchy). I prepared for angels of secret discovery and angels of living creatures, and, given the content of the scryings, I was, in a sense, given this. Because the former call references the number 6332, I recalled that other large numbers were associated with the zodiacal kings with respect to the Aethyrs. So, I vibrated the name of Zodiacal King Ziracah (associated with Taurus), who, in the Aethyr of UTI, is associated with 6333 servient angels (it’s only one away, so I presumed some correspondence, and even were I wrong, it doesn’t hurt to have another angel helping). I also vibrated (for good measure) the name of Governor Obvaors, who appears in the same row as the Ziracah/UTI row in Aaron Leitch’s The Essential Enochian Grimoire. I was a little annoyed at myself for being underprepared, but to be fair to me, I feel like I’m in a little bit of uncharted territory.

As I mentioned on Day 29, I was unsure about the association between the days and the leaves; today I placed my hand on Leaf 19b, but it was Leaf 18 in which Kelley was attacked by gnomes for accidentally invoking them. So Leaf 18 should be the one associated with with Earth, rather than today’s. Yet this call is typically associated with Earth. To split the difference, I placed my right foot on the seal of King Babalel (recall that this king is of a Martial/Mars nature, and thus strong in waters (Scorpio)). I placed the four Tabula Recensa watchtower tablets with their usual configuration on the floor in front of me, with Fire tablet roughly to the East and facing that way, Air to the South and facing that direction, similarly Water to the West, and Earth to the North. I placed my feet on all four of them, so I could clearly tell which element was associated with which by energetic feel (a certain tingling is obvious to me when I work with the tablets like this).

The angels indicated that calling on the correct angels associated with this tablet wasn’t really the concern, but nonetheless I prepared a list of the earth-related angel names: those of Secret Discovery, and those of Living Creatures. Unfortunately, as I prepared, I noticed a discrepancy between the Enochian Watchtower angels listed in Stenwick’s Mastering the Great Table and Leitch’s Essential Enochian Grimoire. This was a little unsettling and, well, I didn’t have time to settle it this morning, nor will I this afternoon or evening! So I decided to forego calling on the Watchtower angels. At any rate, on to the vision:

I feel energy at the Water tablet, from the heel of my right foot. I’m told to be silent for a moment. I feel myself drawn into this realm of Adam Qadmon, and it is definitely watery.

• Note: the original Great Table had water as the last element in order (Fire-Earth-Air-Water); nonetheless, I’m not sure as to whether this feeling reflects the influence of King Babalel, or rather a reversal of the original Great Table order (Water-Air-Earth-Fire). Tomorrow, Wednesday, has King Bnaspol, who is specifically indicated to be strong in Earth (Virgo) from his call. So, if I notice that the Earth tablet is activated, I could use this as evidence that the Heptarchical kings override the tablet order, but if the Air tablet is activated I could assume that the order of these leaves reflects the original Great Table order (though Mercury/King Bnaspol should be relatively strong in air, the main power indicated is over earth due to both exaltation and domicile, and most importantly the call to King Bnaspol). Things would be even stranger if Fire were activated, and I would probably throw up my hands if water were activated tomorrow as well!

Returning to the vision: this wateriness isn’t what I was expecting, and that’s okay! King Babalel is trying to guide me right now, and he says to make the call to governor Ziracah (note that this King is associated with Taurus, an Earth sign, which opposes the water sign of Scorpio, where Mars is strongest, and from which King Babalel presumably has his power over waters), which I do. I feel energy come up off the leaf and the water tablet. There’s a bit of shifting around of the energy now. The angels say that it’s not like one element is existing completely separately from another. Nonetheless, water is dominant; part of this, I’m told by King Babalel, is his own influence, but, yes, this leaf–and this call (presumably when used for gebofal)–is of a watery nature.

I ask, in all humility, the angels that if I indeed be in the realm of Adam Qadmon, to please show me what is to be shown. I’m told to make the call to the God of the West. Thus, the God of the West/Water is MPH ARSL GAIOL (OIP TEAA PDOKE), which is what I vibrated. [Despite my the godname from the original tablet,] I feel this water come up from the tablet and up my right leg, whooshing up and all about me from the water tablet. The angels note that yesterday, the full moon was in Scorpio (and, I would just add, aided by mutual reception from Mars in Cancer).

It’s a subtle point, but the angels are saying, “Water flows, and water dissolves. Water can move about in a rush, and if it hits you thus is most solid-like, like earth. For that reason it can behave like a solid when it is moving quickly or, of course, when it is frozen. Or, it can, just by a soluble being in contact with it, it can dissolve that soluble, and flow and transport the solution. So, its nature,” the angels tell me, “is to break down, and to transport, whether that be temperature, whether that be through dissolution, through flowing, or through the force of its pushing, like unto a solid. It breaks down, and it transports.”

So when I ask how this relates to the geometry in the Aethyrs, the angels are saying, “What this can do is break down the current association between points, and it can, as a result, move two points together or further apart. It can also act as an intermediary between the two.” I express my gratitude to the angels and to God for this, and I ask if there be anything else. They say, “No. Continue to treat this a bit as an experiment,” because this is kind of new to me, so I take it to heart, in heart. They’re adding, “More will be revealed to you: this was going to be a bit clunky, anyway, but now you know the best way to approach this.” I thank them and they give me as homework to flesh out the remaining days, so I thank them and I will.

Noon: Call 19 (18 as labeled by most practitioners). Call to King Babalel. As usual (I haven’t included it because I mentioned it earlier), I vibrate the title of Leaf 19a. Taking the lessons from this morning’s Aethyr, I vibrate the name of God MPH ARSL GAIOL. I vibrate the names of King Ziracah and Governor Obvaors. Feet are placed as mentioned earlier.

The angels have me relax. Once again, I feel energy arise from the Water Quadrant/Tablet; I even moved the seal of King Babalel to under my left foot, and though I felt energy come up from that seal when making the call to him, I instead found the energy coming up from my right heel again when making this call.

Now they move on to reviewing the morning’s lesson & vision with me: water transports, water dissolves, thus it can dissolve the relationship between two times, and can also transport between them. Now they ask me to review this with respect to geometry; once again, this is a reviewing of the lessons of the higher Aethyrs, as I was promised, yet the angels note that this relates to the lower Aethyrs as well: all of reality. The effect of water is its rearranging of conditions. These elements can rearrange the conditions in which Heaven and Earth meet (see yesterday’s scrying) so that the flow that one is in is being met properly and appropriately. The angels assure me that a lot of these lessons will be learned by my unconscious mind more than anything else.

They move on to asking me to consider two points, or even a system of points of geometric consciousness of an individual. It’s natural that, in interacting with someone else, there would be a certain amount of elemental water involved in the realm of consciousness. If one increases the amount of water in the individual, then there’s a bit of dissolution of the structures that one has in place, which could cause two points to separate, or perhaps come closer together, but regardless it changes the arrangement of no less than two points to each other. Also, the angels have me consider the transportation of certain new solutes into the system by dint of the introduction of water.

Now the angels turn to the knock-on effects. Introducing more water forces that system to react by bringing in more earth in order to remain in its current arrangement, or perhaps to decide how it wishes to flow or rearrange itself given this introduction of water. Also, the transportation of a flow between two different and currently set points–assuming no dissolution is involved–the individual would need to decide whether they want a flow between these points. For example, would the individual want their set point of “compassion” to flow to and/or from an individual who has done heinous crimes? Do they want that compassion to be linked up to someone whom they, to that point, have viewed as “evil”? So the individual may need to rearrange the way that certain ideas flow, so this is a bit of a secondary dissolution (i.e., a rearrangement of a relationship between established points of consciousness), rather than a primary one.

Now the angels take me back and have me consider the person who is giving or introducing the water. Someone with a more Scorpionic take may want to introduce water in order to investigate or understand something better; this is not unheard of for people with planets in Scorpio, with an intensity, which sort of shoots water out like a pipe or a hose, such as to hose down a dirty car or to aim directly at a fire. A Scorpionic sense of this, the angels tell me, is much more–and this, again, is opposed to the sign of Taurus, ruled by King Ziracah, yet in line with King Babalel (whose link to Scorpio I’ve already mentioned), so there’s this interesting dynamic between these two angels. At any rate, the angels are saying that someone who is introducing water could be coming at it with this Scorpionic intensity and focused kind of water, that fixed water which is aimed precisely at a fixed point.

Now the angels turn to the introduction of water from someone with planets in Cancer. Here, the transporting quality of water is paramount, as with nutrients. Or, in the cardinal sense of the sign, water may be used to change the dynamic about someone. For example, in a protective manner, someone with, say, a Mars in Cancer (as we have now), the water is used to dissolve points about someone in a dangerous situation so that they can leave the old dynamic and move into a newer, safer one. How water would act from Cancer is thus very dependent on the needs of the situation (recall that Cancer is ruled by the moon, the fastest-moving of the planets and associated largely with the final formation of circumstances just before they emerge into this world, i.e., Yesod), and those things or circumstances that it senses or intuits should be begun.

Finally, we have mutable water: Pisces. So here we have the sign of fish, whose entire reality is water. Here, the person themselves is being transported along with the water that they reside in. Whereas a crab may or may not reside in water–a fish must live in water. Fish must therefore be highly adaptable to water in all of its measureless (“infinite”) variety: “TON MAOFFAS DAMPLOZ,” the angels use the Enochian phrase. The consciousness is thus in this water, and this sign chooses to live with somewhat fewer “fixed points.” Granted, a fish still has somewhat fixed points relative to its own body, but it sees the world with much more fluid points about it. Nonetheless, if water is going certain direction, the fish must account for the flow of the water, the changes of points caused by the water, what’s transported in the water: that whole concept is very much to be considered (clearly, I have no planets in Pisces or Cancer, so the angels take their time explaining these!).

“This is a lot,” the angels acknowledge. I ask whether they have anything in their generosity, if they be so inclined, to offer, and they say, “No,” but bid me to write this up. They acknowledge that these are complicated lessons, but important to consider, because now we’re going to get at some of the “roots” of the 360 degree circle/ecliptic (note the play on root and “square root”–19 being the rounded square root of 360), and all of that which is within it. The 30 degrees of the Aethyrs is the repeated cycle within any given sign, but these are the root principles of the entire Zodiac: “What is at the root of the Zodiac,” they clarify.

Thus ends the vision.

Sunset: Similar procedure: Vibrating the titles of Leaf 19a&b. Call to King Babalel. Vibrated the God names “MPH, ARSL, GAIOL.” (Note: I have decided to revert to the Tabula Recensa, so such vibrations will be associated with their usual locations. In the case of Water/West, the association is OIP, TEAA, PDOKE). Because I’m confident in this being a thoroughly watery vision, I place both feet upon the water Watchtower tablet, which has the seal of King Babalel above it.

I see this wave part in front of me, and it’s like a vision of Moses parting the Red Sea, and the angels are just pointing out the staff–associated with fire symbolically–which parts water, and how the action of water is undone. I’m approached by King Babalel, speaks to me for the rest of the vision. He walks with me and has me take note of all of the different geometric points in the two sides of the walls of water held in stasis. He notes the fish therein, and he notes the crabs (some in the water, some on the land on which we walk), and the scorpions. He notes the pinpoint accuracy of the stinger of a scorpion, and the crab’s circular crabwalk (like unto the moon!), and he notes how the fish seem to be everywhere in the water and seem to defy a lot of logic in their way.

“But each of them has their strong points,” he remarks. Now I’m feeling more energy come up off of the leaf. “Just to get very specific about how this relates to the realm of Adam Qadmon,” King Babalel transitions, and how I need to consider this as I do this: he notes that today was a somewhat difficult day for me to maintain the compassionate heart, but I did sort of rally at the end of the day. “This is a good thing,” he continues, “and now have compassion for all of this. Have compassion for the fact that water dissolves! and have compassion for the different ways in which it acts! and begins things anew! and can be concentrated, and focused!” Basically, he finishes the point: “have compassion for these various areas of your own chart, relatively empty though they may be!”

I agree, and as I do so, I see a watery sphere about me (here’s an alternative reference), and King Babalel says to take a good look around, and to really note this. When I’m encountering others in the future, he says, “You will get a sense of what’s going on with them, and what seems to be lacking based on a sense of their aura. ‘This is not watery enough,’ or, ‘This is too watery.’ This can be combined with the general sense of chakras,” which, he adds, do not completely overlay with planetary influences, yet it’s its own septenary nature which tends to combine at times. Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter (whose rulership in the zodiac opposes each other) are more or less like unto the elements. Yet the three remaining have been of interest to me in their higher forms: the sun overlays with the heart, the moon with the third eye (as broad intuition), and Saturn with the crown chakra (as Binah). The king advises me to be aware that I will have a greater sense of other people. This will be a transformation of me and my perception, because I’ve been given such a vast and wonderful teaching (and, as I write this up, I wonder whether a deeper, more fundamental teaching has been given to my energetic system), which I heartily agree with.

King Babalel kindly says that the angels are grateful for the work that I’m doing to teach this stuff and giving as much as I can in return, and says many other kind things, and gives me a subtle bow. I make sure to give a deep bow in return and give my thanks to him and all of the angels. He notes the holiness of this day, the 31st day of the ritual (31 is associated in Gematria with the name El or ‘God’), and that I will only see him two more times in this ritual.

I ask if there’s anything I need to concern myself with as far as calling the kerubs or so-called “lesser” angels of the Watchtowers, and King Babalel tells me that they are not appearing the same way here in this ritual. This is but the first lesson about water, he says, and I will rev up into the next lesson–except it won’t be him next time. I extrapolate that perhaps the next time will be Saturday, but I’m fine discovering this as the days unfold.

I express my gratitude again, and ask whether he has other things to show to me. “No,” he says, but notes that he is very pleased and to continue especially with the compassion. This will make everything make much more sense, and that ultimately we’re getting into some root forces of the heart here.
