October 1996 e.v. at Thelema Lodge

Lodge Members and Officers
The eve of All (Christian) Hallows brings us into the dark of the year on
Thursday evening 31st October; trick or treat! Samhain will fall almost a
week later when Sol achieves fifteen degrees Scorpio, at a point shortly
before midnight on Wednesday evening 6th November.
Aleister Crowley wrote Liber XV, his pagan gnostic eucharist ritual, to
provide a framework for communal worship in the Aeon of Horus, realizing that
the energized enthusiasm of sacred ceremony, and the emotional bonding of
congregational gatherings, can function without the out-dated theological
baggage of the old established "faiths." Crowley recalled his intentions for
the Gnostic Mass in Confessions (page 714): "I resolved that my Ritual should celebrate the sublimity of the operation of universal forces without introducing disreputable metaphysical theories. I would neither make nor imply any statement about nature which would not be endorsed by the most materialistic man of science. On the surface this may sound difficult; but in practice I found it perfectly simple to combine the most rigidly rational conceptions of phenomena with the most exalted and enthusiastic celebration of their sublimity."
This month an experimental eucharistic working is planned for Hours Temple,
in addition to the established Sunday mass celebration. On Friday evening
11th October we will be exploring the role of gender in the communion ritual
and in our understanding of the mass. A sacred text can be interpreted in
various ways, symbolically, allegorically, literally, even numerically. None
of these methods may be in all instances either condemned or extolled; the
suitability of any understanding can only be evaluated by considering its
actual consequences, both immediate and indirect. Thus those who lack the
knowledge and/or imagination to see beyond the literal interpretation of
scripture are still well-served on those occasions when literalism is called
for. The key, of course, is in the determination of the appropriate time for
literalism. If you wish to bake a cake it makes sense to follow the recipe
literally. You may wish to worship Ra-Hoor-Khuit, yet it still makes no sense
to practice ritual killing. Similarly, is the mainfestation of Nuit somehow
restricted? Do all her priestesses have ovaries? And what of Hadit? Are
only men the receptacle of his mysteries, or shall she not "achieve Hadit"?
These are questions, not answers; at 8:30 on 11th October we will assemble to
see if perhaps a few answers can be found.
| Shall any gazer see with mortal eyes, Or any searcher know by mortal mind, Veil after veil will lift -- but there must be Veil upon veil behind.
Stars sweep and question not. This is enough
Which, ever-changing, runs, linked like a river
Into the seas. These, steaming to the Sun,
This is enough to know, the phantasms are; |
Grace guides the Thelema Lodge Astrology Study Group through a continuing
series on the houses in the horoscope, meeting this month to examine issues
relating to the fifth house. Personal creativity is often revealed by fifth
house symbols. Children as the creative offspring of the family can be
explored here. Fun and games, love affairs and speculation of all kinds are
indicated here. Join us at Grace's Astrological Palace in Berkeley, on Friday
evening 25th October, from 7:00 until 9:00. Please call ahead at (510) 843-
STAR for directions and to let our presenter know how many to expect.
The Thelema Lodge Tarot series with Bill Heidrick holds its seventh meeting
on Wednesday evening 23rd October at 7:30 in San Anselmo. Our special focus
this month will be Atus VI and VII, the Lovers and Chariot cards. Following
an exhaustive illustrated analysis of the images, associations, and variations
of these two major trumps, we will conclude the evening with the "Tree of
Life" divination technique with the Tarot. Reading as the layout proceeds,
and each time placing the eleventh card last, this method might typically
consist of two sequential trees, first from the crown downwards, establishing
the past and present situation in which the question has been put, and then
reading up from the foundation (over the previous spread) a second tree
suggesting future developments.
Each month, the scrying workshop presented by the Enochian Liturgy project
provides an opportunity for students to learn or sharpen their scrying skills
within the context of an Enochian eucharistic rite. On Saturday evening 26th
October at 8:00 we will be covering the fifth Angelic Key, rescheduled from
September. Wear comfortable clothes, bring a notebook and a cushion. Ca nils ob Darbs!
In preparation for the tenth annual Liber 418 readings, scheduled for 14th
November through 20th December, a planning group will convene at 8:00 on
Friday evening 25th October at Oz House. Those wishing to take part in the
readings are welcome to attend this meeting, or otherwise to contact Caitlin
at (510) 654-3580.
Our library continues to grow, with generous donations of books, pamphlets,
periodicals, photocopies, video and sound recordings, photographs, archival
materials, works of art, and games. We usually schedule two "library nights"
each month, which are sometimes organized for upkeep and organization of the
collections, and otherwise used as a convenient time for library users to
arrange ahead of time to visit the lodge. Please speak with one of the lodge
officers to have the library open for your use.
Calendar and newsletter business may be handled with the lodgemaster
whenever convenient, with members also invited to bring their ideas and
concerns to the monthly luncheon meeting for discussion. On Sunday afternoon
13th October from 12:30 till 2:30 we will have lunch and an open forum for
lodge planning and development. Please make advance arranements or call ahead
to attend, giving our kitchen crew an idea of whom to expect.
As the Dog Days expire, you might consider getting Sirius about things this
autumn. North Berkeley has just about the best Oasis you're likely to find,
on a dark autumn night out under the trees, and they meet on the final Monday
evening of each month to plan the festivities, initiations, rituals, and
feasts of the months ahead. To be included, call the Oasis Master for
directions at (510) 527-2855, and come by on Monday evening 28th October at
8:00.
The John Dee reading group will be taking this month off; Clay will be at
work on John Dee's Liber Mysteriorum Quartus, which we hope to see before too
long. This extensive, complicated, and troublesomely fragmentary text records
a very productive series of workings in mid-November of 1582 when Dee once
more engaged the services of Edward Kelly (no longer called Talbot) after a
seperation during the preceeding summer. Clay has been at work on Quartus for
some time, and is taking the trouble to maintain his high standard of textual
scholarship with this especially challenging text. Consequently it may be a
month or two before the reading group resumes.
A) Alfred Noyes (1880-1958) enjoyed success as a poet by appealing to the more backward-looking readership of the early twentieth century, and most of his verse now seems hopelessly shallow and ordinary. He became a fervent Roman Catholic convert and also produced essays as an "anti-modernist" literary critic. Noyes is still remembered for a few ballads such as "The Highwayman" -- staples of the vulgar tradition of Great English Poems -- or for his book-length "verse" biographies of British explorers and scientists, such as Drake (1906-8). Crowley, although often criticised for the competitive spirit with which he referes to fellow practitioners of the poetic craft, was nevertheless able to clearly assess the lesser talents of many of his own "crapulous contemporaries."
"So six days passed, and on the seventh returned The courier, with a message of the Queen Summoning Drake to court, bidding him bring Also such curious trifles of his voyage As might amuse her, also rest well content his life In Gloriana's hands were safe: so Drake Laughingly landed with his war-bronzed crew Amid the wide-eyed throng on Plymouth beach."

"He stretched out his dead cold face, And he sailed in the grand old way! The fishes had taken an eye and his arm, But he swept Trafalgar's Bay.
|
Francis Thompson starts religious poems, introducing little bits of Latin
hymns. Noyes does not lose a minute, he goes and does the same:
|
"Here, not set in a realm apart, East and West are one Nowell! Holy Land is in our Heart! North and South one Gloria! Death is a birth, birth is a death, Love is all, O sing Nowell! And London one with Nazareth -- And all the world a Gloria!" |
But there is not too much of the Latin hymn. Mr Noyes is a very orthodox
Protestant. He knows well enough that the Archbishop of Canterbury must be
consulted when Robert Bridges dies. To him Catholics are scarcely human:
|
"'Now, provost-marshal, Begin with you two friars, in whose faces Chined like singed swine, and eyed with the spent coals Of filthy living, sweats the glory of Spain. Strip off their leprous rags And twist their ropes around their throats and hang them High over the Spanish camp for all to see. At dawn I'll choose two more.'" |
To Mr Noyes Queen Elizabeth is a maiden saint, and Rome the one great
enemy:
|
"This letter, stolen by a trusty spy, Out of the inmost chamber of the Pope Sixtus himself, here is your murder planned: Blame not your Ministers who with such haste Plucked out this viper, Mary, from your breast!" "'Rome, Rome, and Rome again, And always Rome,' she muttered; 'even here In England hath she thousands yet. She hath struck Her curse out with pontific fingers at me, Cursed me down and away to the bottomless pit.'" |
Every prejudice of middle-class England, every snobbery, every basness, is
seized upon by Mr Noyes as the basis of his unique art. In bold, wooden
phraseology, tricked out with every tinsel appanage of the poetaster,
England's latest Alfred belches forth the banality of an utterly mediocre mind
from that coarse, brutal, mouth, which makes it so difficult to support the
contemplation of his photographs. It is superfluous to say that there is not
an idea in the whole of his voluminous writings. Even from the brief passages
quoted above it will be evident that commonplace has reached its climax.
I am asked why I should notice Mr Noyes at all. It is because I am
concerned for the fair fame of England. I remember the writings of one
William Shakespeare. There is one thing in Shakespeare which no man can
forgive: it is his foul attack upon the memory of Joan of Arc, the culmination
of his shame as a political toady. Shakespeare's greatness is altogether
marred by his willingness to blacken people like Richard III, who was
unpopular with the dynasty in power -- to praise tyrants like Henry VIII and
Queen Elizabeth, because he was paid for it, or thought it the best way to
popularity. Now I am glad enough to compare Alfred Noyes to Shakespeare, but
only on this ground. As previously observed, Noyes has always been a toady of
the English bourgeoisie. He has set the seal upon himself by his abominable
asperations upon the memories of those saints and martyrs of my own holy isle,
whose tragic figures -- may one venture to say! -- have added a new lustre to
the greatest of the festivals of the Christian church.

Consider the Tree of Life diagram for a moment, to gain perspective. All
the regular paths are ways one learns and develops the Sephirot; but all admit
travel in two directions. 
You can go up the path of Taw into Yesod and back
down that path into Malkut again. You can do this deliberately, and whatever
benefit it has for you can be attained. If you do it unknowingly you will
occasionally daydream when you should be working, perhaps loose a comfortable
dream, wake up in the middle of the night or in other ways loose track of
something pleasant. Knowledge of the Tree, after first encounter, is a matter
of learning when to take a path. For those who have to work for a living,
it's not wise to linger on the path of Taw, since that will draw attention
away from physically producing things in the material world. It's good to
develop some smaller trees from time to time, but the actual tree of the whole
of life should not overemphasize a long journey into the fantasy realm. There
are times when fantasies, dreams and astral travelings are necessary, and it
may not be desirable then to go up Tzaddi, Qoph, Samekh or any of the others.
After acquiring an understanding of the tree, the next thing is to get a grip
on it, and choose when to follow a path. Attain to Hod and form a practical
way of dealing with things. Later, occasionally run down Resh and check with
the fantasy of Yesod, if you want it. Don't go down there for very long.
Keep doing your work. Similarly, if you have only enough strength to dream
about a thing it is not a time to start designing that thing, not time to
begin in Hod. If you have a finished product and all the work is done, then
it's time to enjoy it in Netzach. Feel these things as through they were
turned on by a flow of electricity -- with enough electricity, you are alive a
little more, your Yesod may light up more than Hod, but if you try to turn on
the rest of the "lights" of the Tree before your strength builds they'll all
be so dim they might as well not be there at all. Always gage strength after
beginning something and determine if there is enough to take the effort to its
next higher place. If you find that you have gone higher than you can
properly maintain, then come down to the next lower level of consciousness for
a time. Whatever is attempted, there must be enough of a ground work to
support the next step. Other ways of working on the Tree don't require such
caution, but those are only temporary in effect. In a middle pillar exercise,
only Malkut, Yesod, Tipharet and Keter are used. This will a give quick rush
of energy, and once it's over it's over.
A problem that can be encountered in Chesed is the sense of being too open
-- especially if Chesed has been reached by one of the routes that pass through
only four Sephirot. Consider the sculpture made by Rodin of Balzac. Balzac
was a little shocking in his day because he wrote things that scandalized
people about sex, religion and all manner of things. Rodin got in trouble
when he designed this bronze statue. People looked at it and thought it
immoral, but it is said to be one of the precursors of modern sculpture and a
masterful work. The artist was a bit too open -- a conception of transcendence
is difficult to communicate; and, although it conquers in time, it doesn't
bring recognition to the person that thought it in his own lifetime. This is
often the case. An artist will sell a work for a little money and a few years
after his death it will go for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is the
case of someone who has got a fairly lasting grip on Chesed. The products
that trickle down the Tree from that activity in Chesed are noble and
permanent, yet contemporaries don't quite think so. With Chesed the shell is
more a shell to others than it is a shell to yourself. Once you are there you
are alright, but others may not be able to understand you. You are too
distant from them -- your world is somewhat "Other". A person who resides in
that state must realize that, although they may be in bliss, others are
probably not. It is necessary to be a little careful, since other people will
turn away out of inability to understand. This applies to anyone who has
attained a sense of bliss. If that bliss is a lasting quality like that of
Chesed, caution must be exercised in showing it to others, lest others see
only weirdness the unfamiliar rather than a blessing and guidance. Some might
even be harmed, through the vision of a life so much happier and a light that
cannot be endured by those still laboring in darkness. Whenever somebody asks
me what I do, I respond with a sense of humor. If they can't directly share
what makes me happy, I give them a lighter alternative.
With the remaining three Sephirot above the Abyss, there are flaws that
we'll have to examine in our next installment; but those are not even as much
as the flaw of Chesed. They are more a matter of confused ways these things
are apprehended below. The Abyss itself is an exception, dangerous in itself.
This is the great division or break between the upper worlds and the lower.
At the Abyss the difficulty is in effort and release. There is really no
problem with it as long as the lower Sephirot are working well. It will
simply fade out as if it were not there; but if you intend to force yourself
from one of these seven lower states into a perfect union with the highest
mental states ... That's quite another matter!
Crowley the Village Artist:
Here's a New York newspaper column from The Evening World, Wednesday, February 26, 1919 e.v. The original was illustrated with Crowley's "Dead Souls" paintings and a photo of the artist. Some damage on the margin of the clippings makes a few words unreadable.
Painting Dead Souls With Eyes Shut Easy for Subconscious Impressionist, Greenwich Village's Latest Sensation
Aleister Crowley, Englishman, Does Weird Things With a Brush, but Objects to
Being Classed With Futurists or Cubists as Anything Queer.
MR CROWLEY is an Englishman who at the outbreak of the great war was in the
confidential service of the British Government. In this service he was shot
in the leg, he says. He then came to this country, late in 1915, on a special
mission for the British, and later became editor of the International, a
radical magazine published in Greenwich Village.
"I had been engaged in various literary pursuits all my life," said Mr.
Crowley as he held a small glass of cognac up to the Light.
"I have written forty books of poetry, among other things. There are some
of my works on those shelves." He pointed to several rows of books over the
fireplace.
"I had never studied art and had never drawn or painted a picture in my
life. When I tried to draw those covers I became so interested in the work
that I gave up the editorship of the magazine and went in for art. What you
see around you is the result. What sort of an artist am I? Oh, I don't know
just what to call myself. I'd say, off hand, that I was an old master,
because I'm a painter mainly of dead souls.
"My art? Well I don't know just what you'd call it. But please, whatever
you do, don't call me a cubist or a futurist or anything like that. I guess
you might call me a subconscious impressionist, or something on that order.
My art really is subconscious and automatic.
"I'll tell you why. When I found I couldn't paint a portrait I didn't
decide to go abroad and study for thirty or forty years.
"Instead I walked up to a blank canvas one day and, standing very close to
it, I placed the wet brush upon it and closed my eyes. I had no preconceived
idea of what I was going to paint. My hand simply moved automatically over
the canvas.
"I don't know how long I worked in that subconscious way, but you can
imagine my astonishment when I found that I had painted a likeness of a friend
Whom I had not seen in many years. It was that person's dead soul I had
painted. I have it about the studio somewhere.
"All my work is done that way. I never know or have a preconceived idea of
what is to appear on the canvas. My hand wanders into the realm of dead souls
and very frequently the result is the likeness of some living person.
"Now take that picture hanging over there, for instance. It is done in
water color. It is entitled 'the Burmese Lady.' If you will look at it
closely you will discover that it is none other than our old friend Arnold
Bennett."
The painting indicated by Mr. Crowley did resemble Arnold Bennett as he
might have looked if he blackened his face and donned a Hottentot's wig.
"Now over there you see a weird lady with something resembling a pig. The
title of that one is 'Ellis Wheeler Wilcox and the Swami.' One of my best
works, that.
"Of course my impressions are not always those of well known people. That
one over there on the east wall isn't a bad thing. That girl's head. It is
entitled 'Young Bolshevik Girl With Wart Looking at Trotsky.'
"That one with all the little figures? Oh, the name of that is 'A Day
Dream of Dead Hats.' You see, it shows a lady asleep on a veranda, while the
spirits of bygone bonnets pass across a mystic bridge on the heads of a dozen
or so undressed ladies. You'll probably admit that most women when they take
a nap dream of dead bonnets.
"THAT fluffy one dancing on one toe is supposed to be the dead spirit of Eva
Tanguay."
One of his pictures that Mr. Crowley likes best is that of Madame Yorska,
the French actress. It shows the face of a woman, thrown backward in death, a
bejeweled dagger through her throat.
"That large three panelled screen is called the 'Screen of the Dead Souls.'
All those figures you see on it are dead souls in various stages of
decomposition. That central figure in the middle panel is the queen of the
dead souls. Of course you recognize the head looking over her shoulder.
That's Hearst. Over her other shoulder is Oscar Wilde. I don't know how he
got in there, because I really hate him. The parrot sitting on the head of
the dead lady's soul in the third panel is Bob Cha..ler.
"Study art? Never have and never intend to."
M from the UK expressed doubts about belief in reincarnation.
Belief is the rhythm beat out on the instrument of the body to underscore
the melody of the mind. It can change, speed up, slow down, go fortissimo to
pianissimo. Reincarnation is just one syncopation. Everything that was, is.
We will continue in the next life -- just two extremes from base to treble on
the beat. Nice middle octave: every breath out is death and in is rebirth.
BW from the USA raised a number of points and questions:
What's the purpose of initiation?
Done properly, initiation is always a start or beginning of a new
development in mind, sometimes in body as well. It's commonly a set of tools,
an orientation, a task, a new concept and a formal "now proceed". OTO
initiations also confer membership, if done under charter. Some initiations
do not confer membership.
Why silence and secrecy?
This is a compound matter.
A. Creation of a non-consanguineous gens requires outer signs of membership.
If too many of them are public, membership must depend on central records.
B. The drama of initiation requires moments of novelty or the unexpected.
Initiation ceremonies are less likely to be effective if too well known in
advance.
C. Symbolic code is linked to sequential learning. If "initiated
explanations" are provided out of sequence, the learning process may
develop "potholes" and "detours" to the point that it ceases to produce a
convergence to the more complex or difficult ideas of the group.
D. Public ridicule and slander is common when terms and ideas are presented
out of context, particularly the accidents of the regalia and symbolism.
E. Some ideas require experience to be appreciated. One must be "led" to
discover them, just as reading a book of notes on great literature will
never replace the impact of reading the great literature itself. An
explanation out of context may lead to an intellectual definition of some
concept, but may not yield a working appreciation of that concept. E.g.,
Calculus is easy after Algebra. To read a book about Calculus without
first acquiring facility in Algebra will usually not result in facility
with Calculus. Some ideas in these groups require a similar preparation,
particularly in terminology.
F. Privacy of individual members is also essential, since public prejudice
against such a group may lead to discrimination in the work-place &c.
How are the oaths enforced?
No physical or material enforcement is ever undertaken, even though there
are symbolic physical "penalties" phrased in conjunction with the oaths.
Mostly, it is the individual who takes the oath who is responsible for
adherence to the oath. The exception occurs when an oath is broken in such a
way as to injure others or the group -- in that case suspension or expulsion
from membership is the most extreme sanction, save in instances of publication
of private matters and secrets or in instances of libel or slander -- in those
latter instances, civil litigation may be undertaken.
Is the Goetia "low magick"?
Some categorize the Goetia as "low", but it is more common to categorize it
as dangerous or even "evil". The Goetia deals with entities or the like that
are harmful to man; anciently it was often associated with disease or madness.
This is from an old idea of sickness, not necessarily wrong, that did not take
the germ theory of modern medicine into account. These Goetia are the same as
the "evil jinn" of the Arabian Nights, like them said to have been placed in
captivity by Solomon the son of David. -- Incidentally, enclosure in a "brass
bottle" would tend to prevent spoilage of food stuff, so that may be a relic
of ancient hygienic practices. They are partly composed of the mis-remembered
names of old deities, held by the Christians to be devils. Another Christian
influence is attribution of these "fallen" spirits to the Dionysian Hierarchy
of choirs of angels. It is an old part of these traditions that one must
first confront the evil or the defective, before purifying and ascending.
Hell, then Heaven.
Can adepts be atheists?
All high adepts are atheists in one or both of two categories:
1. Their understanding cannot be explained without contradiction of commonly
held religious beliefs.
2. They ultimately reach a point where human personification of ultimate deity
is not enough.
How can Magick be worked without a fixed belief in a higher power?
In these things, belief is the primary tool. There are boundaries of
belief, perhaps never quite dispensed with except during the extreme states of
the experience. Those boundaries shift and change for different workers and
at different times. During ceremonial workings particularly, belief is used
to focus the mind to a vivid participation in the hyperbole of the ritual.
The act of banishment or dismissal of a spirit is in fact an action of
recession from a state of heightened and directed belief, which was designed
for a particular focus of the mind. One constructs these sets of beliefs as
the art of the thing, designing them to bring the attention of the mind,
limited by human faculties, to a particular play with a particular result. It
is no different from a game or passive enjoyment of a movie, except that it is
far more deliberate.
The goal is not to formulate a faith, but to use belief, the building
matter of faith, to bootstrap to a state of knowing -- direct experience.
M of Lithuania asked why an established church calls all magic(k) evil:
Churches frequently don't like competition. Most religions practice magic,
if not "Magick", calling it something else because it is theirs. Sometimes
this can be quite silly. Churches and Synagogues denounce "divination" as
evil, but they approve certain methods for asking God about the future in
prayer -- same thing, but one brand is ok and all others are not ok. In many
ways, Magick is personal religion. Churches frequently don't like that,
preferring to be the ones who say what religion should be. Some churches
insist that you can only go to God through them. Magick is a way of going
directly to God.
