Maskim Hul Babylonian Magick
TO THE ILU LIMNU
This grimoire is dedicated to the
seven malevolent Phantoms of the flames, the Seven Mas kim
who are Ilu Limnu,
Gods
who embody rebellion and chaos. May the words within stir them continually from their abode in
the heavens and dark earth, by the sea and the realm of the dead. Arise
Seven Spirits of the Deep Earth,
whose voices resound in the heights. Thou who disturb order, begetting chaos
find rule again. Thou malevolent gods, phantoms of the vast heavens, come thou
forth to ignite our souls, our minds with the Black Flame.

Liber DCCCXI Energized Enthusiasm - A Note on Theurgy
I
I A O the supreme
One of the Gnostics, the true God, is the Lord of this work. Let us therefore
invoke Him by that name which the Companions of the Royal Arch blaspheme to
aid us in the essay to declare the means which He has bestowed upon us!
II
The divine
consciousness which is reflected and refracted in the works of Genius feeds
upon a certain secretion, as I believe. This secretion is analogous to semen,
but not identical with it. There are but few men and fewer women, those women
being inevitably androgyne, who possess it at any time in any quantity.
So closely is this
secretion connected with the sexual economy that it appears to me at times as
if it might be a by-product of that process which generates semen. That some
form of this doctrine has been generally accepted is shown in the prohibitions
of all religions. Sanctity has been assumed to depend on chastity, and chastity
has nearly always been interpreted as abstinence. But I doubt whether the
relation is so simple as this would imply; for example, I find in myself that
manifestations of mental creative force always concur with some abnormal
condition of the physical powers of generation. But it is not the case that
long periods of chastity, on the one hand, or excess of orgies, on the other,
are favourable to its manifestation, or even to its formation.

PREFATORY NOTE
The
following Essay is one of the most remarkable studies in the Hebrew Qabalah
known to me. Its venerable author was an adept familiar with many systems of
symbolism, and able to harmonise them for himself, even as now is accomplished
for all men in the Book "777". In the year 1899 he was graciously
pleased to receive me as his pupil, and, living in his house, I studied daily
under his guidance the Holy Qabalah. Upon his withdrawal --- whether to enjoy
his Earned Reward, or to perform the Work of the Brotherhood in other lands or
planets matters nothing here --- he bequeathed to me a beautiful Garden, the
like of which hath rarely been seen upon Earth. It has been my pious duty to
collate and comment upon this arcane knowledge, long treasured in my heart,
watered alike by my tears and my blood, and sunned by that all-glorious Ray
that multiplieth itself into an Orb ineffable. In this Garden no flower was
fairer than this exquisite discourse; I beg my readers to pluck it and lay it
in their hearts. It should be studied in connection with the Book
"777," and with the Sepher Sephiroth, a magical dictionary of pure
{165} number which was begun by the author of this essay, carried on by myself,
and now about to be published as soon as
the MS. can be prepared.

A TRUE HISTORY OF WITCHCRAFT
"The fact is that the instincts of ignorant people invariably

A Treatise on Initiations: or, Asclepios
Translation by Dr. Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland
THE UNWISDOM OF INDISCRIMINATE DISCLOSURE OF SPIRITUAL MYSTERIES:
Hermes (Trismegistus explains):
"It is a God who hath brought thee to us, Asclepios, that thou
mayst assist at a divine discourse, and one which will be the most truly
religious of all we have as yet held, or with which we have been inspired from
on high. In understanding it thou wilt be in possession of all blessings,--if
so be indeed there are several, and if it be not more correct to say there is
but one blessing which comprises all. For each one of them is bound to another;
all are derived from one and make but one, so that their mutual bonds make
separation impossible. This is what thou wilt understand by paying attention to
that which we are about to say. Bur first, Asclepios, go away for a little
while and look for another hearer for our discourse."

A Threefold Alchemical Journey Through the Book of Lambspring
 |
A clue to this is given in the title page
illustration which shows a threefold furnace, and this is hinted at further by the fact that Emblems 1-5, and 6-10
have short epigrams placed under each
emblem, while the sequence 11-15 does not have this feature. Once we look at
the emblems in this way distinct patterns can be seen. The first layer of five
emblems deal with the different facets of polarities in our inner world.

A Textbook of Theosophy
“There is a school of philosophy still in existence of
which modern culture has lost sight.” In these words Mr. A.P. Sinnett began his
book, The Occult World, the first popular exposition of Theosophy, published
thirty years ago. [Namely in 1881.] During the years that have passed since then,
many thousands have learned wisdom in that school, yet to the majority its
teachings are still unknown, and they can give only the vaguest of replies to
the query, “What is Theosophy?”

A Taste of Freedom
“…That
which “looks over” the various factors which
arise in
meditation is ‘sati’, mindfulness. Sati is life.
Whenever we
don’t have sati, when we are heedless, it’s
as if we
are dead…. This sati is simply presence of mind.
It’s cause
for the arising of self-awareness and
wisdom….
Even when we are no longer in samàdhi, sati
should be present
throughout….”

A TAROT HISTORY TIMELINE
By Dame Gabby
The modern tarot is a deck of 78 cards consisting of 2
types of cards: the 22 cards of the "Major Arcana" or "Trumps
which are named (such as the Lovers, Death and Judgement), and the "Minor
Arcana" or "suit cards" (four suits of fourteen cards, each comprised
of cards numbered from one to ten, and four 'court' cards) which roughly
correspond to a modern deck of playing cards. This structure is a
derivation of the Venetian or Piedmontese Tarot, but early decks were of
several types with varying numbers of cards. Examples of early European decks related to the
Tarot include:

A Short Course in Scrying
This paper was written in response to
requests by participants of the
“enochian-l” and “Praxis” internet
discussion groups; it first appeared as a series of posts on those groups in
early 1997. The current version has been slightly rewritten to enhance the
clarity of the presentation, and to include a small amount of additional
material.
The techniques described herein are
adaptations of techniques I learned from two sources. The first of these is Mr. Brian D.,
who taught me the basic method
many years ago. The second is Mr. Paul
Solomon and his group, the Fellowship of the Inner Light, who had transformed
that method into the foundation of their system of spiritual work.
Special thanks also to the “secret
chiefs” of the Fellowship, for their direct
and effective contribution to my work
at a critical point. Some debts can never be repaid; the best that can be done
is to pass on what was given.

EIRA A satanic Guide to Future Magick
This present volume has been compiled fromom the most recent writings of a member of the Order of Nine Angles. It serves as a pointer towards the future -of
Magick, and of Western evolution.
The author is well aware that written works such as this are merely shadows
of what cannot, at present, be adequately expressed. And yet, via these
writings the real motives of Satanists in the world may begin to be discerned.
Perhaps then another nameless
insight will be presenced, and one more nexion shall
start its slow opening.

A Road to Self-knowledge
It is the
endeavour of this treatise to convey spiritual-scientific knowledge concerning
the being of man. The method of representation is arranged in such a way that the
reader may grow into what is depicted, so that, in the course of reading, it
becomes for him a kind of self-conference. If this soliloquy takes
on such a form that there by hither to concealed forces, which can be awakened in
every soul, reveal themselves, then the reading leads to a real inner work of
the soul; and the latter can see itself gradually urged on to that
soul-journeying, which truly advances towards the beholding of the spiritual
world. What has to be imparted, therefore, has been given in the form of eight Meditations,
which can be actually practised. If this is done, they can be adapted for
imparting to the soul, through
its own inner deepening, that about which they speak.
It has been my
aim on the one hand, to give something to those readers who have already made themselves
conversant with the literature dealing with the domain of the supersensible, as
it is here understood. Thus through the style of the description, through the
communication directly connecting with the soul's
experience, perhaps those who have knowledge of supersensible life will here
find something that may appear of importance to them. On the other hand, many a
one can find that just through this method of representation profit may be
gained by those who yet stand far distant from the achievements of Spiritual
Science.
Although this
work is intended as an amplification of my other writings in the domain of
Spiritual Science, it should nevertheless be possible to read it independently.
It has been my
endeavour in my books, Theosophy and Occult Science, to represent the things as
they show themselves to observation, when it ascends to the Spiritual. In these
works the method of representation
is descriptive and its direction prescribed by conformity to the law
manifesting out of the things themselves. In this, A Road to Self-Knowledge,
the method of representation is different.
Herein is stated
that which can be experienced by a soul which sets out on the path to the
Spirit in a certain manner. The treatise may therefore be regarded as an
account of experiences of the soul; only it must be taken into
consideration that the experiences which can be gained in such a way as is here
described, must assume an individual form in each soul according to its own
peculiarity. It has been my endeavour to do justice to this fact, so that one
can also imagine that what is depicted here has been actually lived through by an
individual soul, exactly as represented. The title of this treatise is,
therefore, A Road to Self-knowledge. On that account it may serve the purpose
of assisting other souls to live into this portrayal and attain to
corresponding goals, and is an amplification of my book, Knowledge of the Higher
Worlds and its Attainment.
Only isolated
fundamental experiences of a spiritual scientific nature are represented. The
giving of information in this manner of the further spheres of "Spiritual
Science" is suspended for the present.
