Liber 231 Working - Frater Orpheus

The Howling of  Liber CCXXXI A Grimoire of the Paths of the A.'.A.'. Frater Zephyros  !" AoAo This evocatory grimoire functions as the Thelemic version of the lesser key of Solomon; known also as the Goetia or 'Howling'. Research into both what the Master  Therion exoun!s an! the uni"uely rofoun! work of #enneth Grant which has its own $abalistic significance; may she! light on the exeriences of the %r!eals of the Gra!es of our or!er. Such synchronicities seem to correlate with my own exeriences an! exosure to the current of the &.'.&.'.. &.'.&.'.. iber (()))* is the most singular an! certainly uni"ue of all +(las s &' !ocuments reveale! by the Secret (hiefs thus far. The Master Therion resents it as a maing of the cosmic rocess in congruity congruity with the twenty,two &tus of The -ook of Thoth. &n! it is shown to function function as a technical technical treatise !elineating !elineating a formula for  initiation. #enneth Grant exten!s this i!ea from the ersective of both si!es of the Tree,of,ife in such a way as to seemingly !estroy any i!ea of a Manichean battle  between forces forces of ight an! arkness. arkness. Rather/ Rather/ the so,calle! so,calle! ark Si!e 0whose 0whose contents are commonly commonly referre! referre! to as $lihotic1 $lihotic1 is urorte! urorte! by his exerience exerience to be very ancient +&tavisms2 that belong to a more rimal an! owerful consciousness from our racial ast. &ustin %sman Sare an! (arlos (astene!a also investigate these bestial energies.

*t seems that mo!ern humanity has forgotten such ower that was very much a art of human consciousness in a time before the ancient 3gytians; as mo!ern man has move! more an! more to a !een!ence on left,braine! consciousness through the succee!ing ages. The 4ecronomicon also seaks to this time an! acts as a comlimentary Grimoire as well as the 5ou!oun grimoires. Most certainly/ this time in ancient Mesootamia; secifically (hal!ea/ is the fountain from which the 3gytian an! hence/ the 6ewish an! Hin!u religions woul! evolve into both 3astern an! 7estern !irections with 6u!aism branching into *slam an! (hristianity an! Hin!uism branching into Taoism an! -u!!hism. %f course/ many aboriginal societies may be sai! to have never left this mo!e of consciousness as we are in this new aeon/ learning more an! more about ancient aboriginal cultures that have survive! relatively unaffecte! or unaltere! by time into the resent age. 5ou!oun may be the one excetion as it is clearly the merging or mo!erni8ation of this ancient Shamanism with (hristianity. iber (()))* consists of three searate sections9 The first is comose! of two sets of twenty,two sigils each belonging to two searate houses; the secon! is a set of  twenty,two verses correson!ing to both the correson!ing sigils from the two houses; an! the thir! section is a list of names for each of the &ngels from both houses/ arrange! in two columns an! aire! of with the correson!ing angel from each house. -oth of the two sets of sigils in the first section are title! iber ))**. The first set is sub,title! 'omarum Mercurii (um Suis Geniis' which * am arahrasing as 'The House of the &ngels of Thoth'. The whole book is an exosition on the Holy Tarot or -ook of Thoth. The other set of sigils is sub,title! '(arcerorum $ lihoth (um Suis Geniis' an! * am arahrasing as 'The :rison of the &ngels of (horon8on. *n both sets/ the sigils are lai! out either in the natural !irection of Hebrew writing for the first set/ or its oosite or!er for the secon!. This woul! seem to a!! some vali!ity for &cha!'s reversal of the lesser aths on the Tree,of,ife. &n! in between both sets of sigils are instructions for comaring the sigils. They are arrange! in two columns of which if the sigil !elineate! in the left column rece!es the one of the right then the comarison is to be ma!e in the sigils of the &ngels of Thoth. &n! if the one on the right rece!es that of the left then the attention is !irecte! to the sigils of the &ngels of (horon8on. The comarisons reveal similarity in style/ theme/ an! symbolism between certain sigils.  4ow lease note that * have use! the wor! +:rison2 for the &ngels of (horon8on. -ut * woul! refer to see this as something that is locke! in a re,historic level of  consciousness !ee in the collective conscious of our race. 6. 3!war! (ornelius !escribes this with the i!ea that these beings are imrisone! in the &stral 7aters about the 3arth. These energies maintain a balance with the forces that are now at the fore of our consciousness an! seem to be connecte! with each other through the *nvisible Sehira known as a2ath on the Tree,of,ife. #enneth Grant seems to maintain that only the &!et has the wherewithal to han!le the raw ower of these &tavisms. *n such a light he aligns both si!es of every ath of the Tree with each other as secific +#alas2 from which Magick :ower can be evocatorially gaine! emloying seciali8e! Tantric techni"ues. There is no cross,comarison between the two charts until you get to the thir! section of this book. Here the names associate! with eac h &tu are liste! in two columns an! their natural contrast is marke!. The ronunciation of the names for the &ngels of Thoth are more creative than the tra!itional Hebrew names for !emons !eloye!  by the &ngels of (horon8on. *n!ee! the &ngels of Thoth refer to several alhabets for comosition of their names of which belong to no known language. et/ #enneth Grant !evelos strong Gematric evi!ence to suort the nature of an! vali!ate the results of his work. These he !raws from an! exan!s uon one >angbeto; sacre! olice or 'eole of the night who com from the other si!eof the sea'. -lack is the color of sex an! an in!ication fo the nature of this rimal magick. -u=e; fetish of erfection of  beauty an! sexual attractiveness.
