More Gnostic Heresy...

from the Grady Project:

Eld

It is told in sagas and songs of old

That strange men dwelled on the world's high roof

And held strange commerce with gods aloof

When our Earth was young - and before the Cold.

And the stories tell of a fairey gold

That was bartered for garments of elvin woof,

For sequined jewels - but there is no proof -

So who is to know if the truth were told?

The dream worlds touch on those years of our eld

And hearty dreamers may voyage at will ---

Through lands the waking have never beheld

They storm with their thunder winged steeds uphill

Up valley and mountain and icy ledge

Spearheading the sky-winds - over the Edge.

From the Outbasket

This will be the last installment on symbolism of the Hebrew Alphabet for a bit. The following "code" attributes meaning to the Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet through correspondence to the story of Moses in the Old Testament. As was the case with the "Genesis Code" last month, the structure of the Hebrew alphabet is used for correspondence, not the traditional sequence of letters. The three Mother letters are used to represent primal things. The seven double letters are used to describe a period in the life of Moses which roughly corresponds to birth through Magister Templi. The twelve simple letters are taken to describe the work of the Master. The five finals describe the "One who came after". This strikes a parallel to Crowley's tradition, perhaps a bit more A

than O.T.O.

The Pentateuch Code.

(Developed from the Magical Diary of Frater

, 6/17/75 e.v.)
Copyright © by Bill Heidrick, 1988

This way of interpreting the Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet is drawn from the Pentateuch or first five books of the Torah/Bible. It is contrasted with the "Genesis Code", which expresses abstract concepts more than it stems from the Book of Genesis. The same structure of Hebrew letters is used in both the Genesis and Pentateuch codes.

The story of the birth and life of Moses forms the basis of this code. As we pass through the events of the Pentateuch, individual Hebrew letters are matched to the significan events. From this, a generalization leads us to meanings of the Letters themselves in terms of a human story. The story is made complete by applying the "final" letters in a sort of "Joshua" code to the epilogue of the Pentateuch.

We begin with the story and the letters:

---- Moses and Israel.

---- The Lands of Egypt and Canaan.

---- The gods of Egypt and of the Jews.

---- Moses upon the river.

---- Moses reaches manhood.

---- Moses is confused by the events of his life in Egypt & as an Exile.

---- Moses is a noble of Egypt, a wanderer, a shepherd and a husband.

---- Moses sees the burning bush and receives the command to lead Israel.

---- Moses acquires Aaron's aid and sets out for his people in Egypt.

---- Moses returns to Egypt and speaks to his people.

---- Israel hears Moses.

---- Moses is recognized as the leader of Israel by Pharaoh.

---- The Plagues, Passover, the beginning of the Wandering.

---- The people of Israel go forth.

---- The destruction of Pharaoh's armies and the Camp built.

---- The Reception of the Ten on Mt. Sinai, the Ark and Tabernacle.

---- The Laws given to the People.

---- The Death of the Sinful Generation.

---- The testing of faith in the Hardships of the Wilderness.

---- Conquest of the old tribes.

---- Moses blesses the people. He is shown the Promised Land.

---- Moses dies without entering the Promised Land.

---- Joshua receives the Command of Israel.

---- The Promised Land is taken.

---- Israel is established within the Land.

---- Joshua dies.

---- The people of Israel endure. Joshua is buried and the bones of Joseph

rest in the Land of Jacob.

Now, let's take those events and generalize them a bit --- not too much, just enough so that they may apply to any human story of similar wholeness and complexity:

For comparison, the Genesis code is given in short aphorisms.

Letters:	Genesis Code:	Pentateuch Code:
	Pure Being	A thing exists in itself (Entity).
	Pure Substance	The form and material aspect of a thing (Body).
	Pure Will	The spiritual essence of a thing (Spirit).
	Directed Flow	An Entity pursues its purpose.
	Mystery	Separate physical existence.
	Many Images	Experience without order.
	Cycles	Pursuit of order through trying of different roles.
	Revelation	Discovery of the direction of Life.
	Meaning Attaches to Things	Destiny is accepted and intelligently pursued.
	All Created Things & Events	The harmony of life sings through the acts and experiences of life.
	Order	Life becomes organized along the lines of destiny.
	Union	Action follows plan.
	Separation	That which opposes life is destroyed or avoided.
	Containment	The pattern of life establishes itself for all to see.
	Natural Power	The pattern of life manifests through its own power.
	Creation	The philosophy and rules of life become conscious.
	Balance	The limits of life and activity become established consciously.
	Transformation	The pattern of life is passed on to another by teaching or parenthood.
	Tempering	The pattern endures the test of time.
	Perception of Limitation	Flaws to the success of life are discovered and dealt with.
	Meditation	The pattern and its promise are praised.
	Evolution	The pattern is released to permit its growth into a greater.
Letters:	Genesis Code:	Joshua Code:
	Development of the Created	Life pattern passes on to another form, another destiny.
	Matter	The second destiny provides the final fruits of the first.
	Rational Thoughts	The second destiny establishes itself securely and naturally.
	Physical Life	The last direct link to older ways of being and doing vanishes.
	Living	Life establishes itself through further generations.

Here's a test of both codes to see how they fit some traditional words of power in the Qabalah. In this application, a word spelled with Hebrew letters is expanded into a loose phrase or statement by matching the letters to their meanings in these "codes". This is very like a Tarot reading in that no exact word-for-word substitution of the codes for the letters is attempted. It is the meaning of each letter that is used. We must always begin with the defined meaning of the word. After that the Genesis Code offers a spiritual or abstract interpretation when the meanings of the letters are joined and expanded into a sentence. Finally, the Pentateuch code is used in the same way to generate a more anthrocentric interpretation. The Joshua code for the final letters is an option in some cases. This can also be used in divination on the name of a person or on a word obtained in meditation. In studying these examples, remember that Hebrew reads from right to left, in the direction opposite to English.

Man	Gen:	Being passes through images into matter.
	Pent:	A self-existing one endures chaotic
		experiences to establish a body.
	P&J:	A self-existing one endures chaotic
		experiences to perfect earlier work.
Life	Gen:	Containing power unites to processes of order.
	Pent:	The pattern of life becomes evident as action
		follows the path of destiny.
Moses	Gen:	Substance and Will () submit to order.
	Pent:	Body and spirit become organized according
		to destiny.
	(Also, the name "Moses" translates "Saved from
	water" as a Hebrew proper name.)
God	Gen:	Existence is balanced.
	Pent:	An individual dwells within the proper
		limits of life and activity.
Eheieh	Gen:	Being is ordered in the creation of order.
	Pent:	An individual life becomes organized
		according to destiny. The philosophy and
		rule of life become consciously organized
		according to destiny.
Jehovah or Yahweh	Gen:	Creation of order unites to future order.
	Pent:	The philosophy and rule of life become
		consciously organized according to destiny.
		Action follows the plan of life to further
		establish the lines of destiny.

The Center for Enochian Studies, Volume I, number 9:

		Marty 15 Thursday. Hora 1 1/4 a meridie¹
		- After Edward Talbot his calling into the stone; appeared a
		tall man, with a sceptre (Very great) of gold glittering. His body
		all red: and out of his head, did shoot out beams of light, like
		the sun beams².
		- I being desirous, to know who he was, and his name; I
		requested him earnestly thereto, but he answered as followeth:
		---: Invocate nomen Domini agnoscetis eum.
		'Call in the name of the Lard, You will recognize him.'
		- Then I prayed the Psalm:³
		Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis: illuminet vultum,
		suum super nos, et misereatur nostri.
		Vulg. Ps:LXVI:1.
		'May God be gracious and bless us, may he show us a benign
		countenance.'
		Douay:LXVI:1.
		'God be merciful unto us; and cause his face to shine upon us:
		Selah⁴.
		A.V:LXVII:1.
		After that, he said:
		---: I am mighty.
		- Because he delayed to declare his name, Edward Talbot the
		skryer did require him: in the name of God the father, Jesus Christ
		his son⁵, and of the holy ghost, to express his name. And he
		answered in speech:
		---: So I will by and by.
		- Then he seemed to take from his head little bright
		sparks,like little candles' ends; and to stick them about the
		chair⁶, and he went round about the chair, and then he spake, as
		followeth:
i.		---: I am mighty and working wonders; I am SOLOMON⁷. I rule in
		the heavens, and bear sway upon earth; in his name, who be blessed
		forever. Thou doest doubt at me. I am the servant of God, in his
		light; I serve him. I say, I serve him; with fear and reverence.
		My name is SOLOMON⁸: Mighty in the Sun⁹, Worker of Worldly actions;
		as well internal, as external. Known unto God; whose name I know,
		and bless forever.
		- Then appeared a big flame of fire by him in the air.
		Solomon: Thou knowest not, or thou wilt not know, that
		Mammon¹⁰, with his servants, are present about thee. Whose presence
		doth hinder the presence of the virtues¹¹ Adonai overcoming.
		Blessed be God, in the highest. Amen.
		- He took the forsaid flame of fire, and flung it unto the
		heavenward.
ii.		Solomon: Mammon¹² is a king whom God hateth: whose sect
		continually tempt, provoke, and stir up wickedness against the
		Lord, and against his annointed. But he dies, blessed be God
		forever. Drive him away.
		: It is incomparably more easy for you to do. And as for my
		part I feel neither in body, nor soul; any token of his presence or
		working.
		Thereupon he caused the whole chamber (Which we were in) to
		appear very plainly in the stone¹³: and so there shewed a great
		company of Wicked Spirits¹⁴ to be in the chamber; and among them,
		One, most horrible and grisly, threatening, and approaching to our
		heads, and scorning and gnashing at us.
		Solomon: God determines his mysteries, by Art and Virtue.
		- Then he Willed Very eagerly to drive them away. And I
		prayed fervently. And there seemed one to come into the stone,
		which had very long arms; and he drove them away courageously. And
		so they were driven away.
		After that presently, came one into the stone, all white.
		Solomon reached this white one a Cup. The white man held up the
		cup; and said, as followeth:
iii.	---: Lo this is my name.
	God shall bless you. Fear not. Your faithfullness provoketh me
	to tell my name, and this it is: (putting forth the Cup again) for
	I am called
	Medicina Dei¹⁵.
	God his Healing.
	I will shew thee, and I will show you, the Angel of your Direction,
iv.	Which is called OCH¹⁶
	- This name he spake, he showed it also on the Table¹⁷
	(before him) written.
	Raphael: He is mighty in the Sun¹⁸ beams, he shall profit
	thee¹⁹ hereafter.
	- Then came in another, and sat down in the chair; and he
	said as followeth:
	---: The strength of God Liveth, and reigneth forever.
	I am
	Fortitudo Dei²⁰.
	God his Strength.
	: Why then, you are Gabriel; and I took you but hereto to be
	Michael. Michael; how shall I then amend my book, in respect of
	your name always before written Michael?
	Fortitudo Dei: What thou hast Written, That hast thou
	Written; and it is true.
	Write down this name POLIPOS.
	Doth thou understand it?
	: No, God knoweth.
	Fortitudo Dei: When that day cometh, I will speak with thee,
v.	if thou observe that which I have commanded thee.
	As truly as I was with SOLOMON²¹, so truly will I be with
	thee.
	- Then came in another; Whom we take to be Uriel, for he
	went also, as he was want, and leaned at the Table.
	Fortitudo Dei: Search for Wisdom and Learning, and the Lord
	Will deliver it unto you.
	: I would to god. I knew your name truly, or What peculiar
	Letter I might set for you, to Note your Words and Actions by.
	Fortitudo Dei:Name I have none, but by my Office.
	SOLOMON came not hither, but by me.
	He is a mighty Prince, governing the heavens, under my power.
	This is sufficient for thy Instruction.
	I was with Solomon, in all his Works and Wonders²²; and so was
	this, Whome God had appointed Unto him.
	The Divines know his name, and he is not hidden from the face
	of the earth. His name is written in the book which Lieth in the
	Window.
vi.	: Do you mean Agrippa his book? And it is there expressed by
	the name SOLOMON?²³
	Fortitudo Dei:I have said.
	: What order will you appoint unto us two, in respect of our
	two beings together My friend here may have other intents and
	purposes of his affairs, than will serve me for his aid having in
	these Actions.
	Fortitudo Dei: Join in prayers. For God hath blessed you.
	Doubt not. Consider these Mysteries.
	: Then they in the stone used talk together, but not well to
	be discerned by the ear of Edward Talbot.
	At length Fortitudo Dei talked very much, and speedily to
	Edward Talbot and disclosed unto him (Which he expressed not to me,
	at the stone, but disclosed afterward) all the manner of the
	practice, and circumstance about the Action intended, With the Gold
	Lamen, the ring, the seals etc²⁴. And after I had spoken somewhat;
	in requesting him to shew me the manner, How I should artificially
	prepare everything spoken of he said:
	Fortitudo Dei:²⁵ ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
	Dee's Marginalia:
	i. SOLOMON: Of Solomon you may read in the call,
	Diei Dominica in Elementis Magicis Petri de Abano,
	Of the lord's Day in the Elements of Magick of Peter of Abano
	their called Salamia²⁶.
	ii. Mammon²⁷

for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children

of light.

And I say unto you. Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unright-

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much. and he that

is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will

commit to your trust the true riches?

	It is told in sagas and songs of old
	That strange men dwelled on the world's high roof
	And held strange commerce with gods aloof
	When our Earth was young - and before the Cold.
	And the stories tell of a fairey gold
	That was bartered for garments of elvin woof,
	For sequined jewels - but there is no proof -
	So who is to know if the truth were told?
	The dream worlds touch on those years of our eld
	And hearty dreamers may voyage at will ---
	Through lands the waking have never beheld
	They storm with their thunder winged steeds uphill
	Up valley and mountain and icy ledge
	Spearheading the sky-winds - over the Edge.
	Grady L. McMurtry
