Hermetic Qaballa and the Book of the Law

There are secrets, and there are secrets. There are truths, and there are truths. There are realities, and there are realities. There are foundations, and there are foundations. What you see in the mirror is what lies behind you. When you turn to view what lies behind you, what is left is now right. Your eye sees, but the lens turns everything upside down.

Your brain is required to put everything into proper perspective.

We will do so now with "The Book of the Law".

The Control of Knowledge and Information

Knowledge is not free for the masses. It is controlled.

Scientists who are at the cutting edge of knowledge revelations who are not a part of the controlled system often find themselves dying in statistically impossible ways. Educators who dare to express to students ideas and knowledge outside the accepted norms of the system often find themselves censured or their careers derailed.

The current reality smiles ill on the truth tellers.

Even the masses, drunk as they are in a stupor of ignorance, are oft the tool used to bludgeon those who may see things for what they are and not as how others would wish them to appear. Thus for those who delve into and wish to acquire a foundational knowledge of reality (the Occult), the ability to access knowledge of the inner core is nearly impossible to acquire.

What you are allowed to read is controlled. What you are allowed to know is controlled.

Knowledge is cumulative. Each generation builds on the foundation laid from the previous. The role of academia, to catalogue and otherwise summarize knowledge such as to make the acquisition of knowledge faster and easier for subsequent generations, is often used to splinter and disintegrate esoteric information so as to make the acquisition of core esoteric knowledge impossible.

Knowledge is power.

If you wish to gain real esoteric knowledge, you often must go outside the established control mechanisms. The local bookstore will help, but ultimately, will reveal little. To gain further access, men and women of conscious oft immerse themselves in various controlled Initiatory Systems. Here, too, the information is controlled and secreted to but a rare and talented few.

Less than 2 percent, I would gather, truly comprehend the nature of the Construct, and this 2 percent is limited to a very select group of organizations. Knowledge is power, and these 2 percent, you can be assured, see no reason at all to "give it up". Or, as stated so eloquently in the Matrix Reloaded:

"Merovingian: Hmph... I am a trafficker of information, I know everything I can...The Keymaker is mine and I see no reason why I should give him up. No reason at all."

Thelema and Setian Metaphysics

The Construct is based on Pi. Said the Keymaker in the Matrix Reloaded,

Keymaker: Once the door is unprotected, the connection will be severed. But another connection must first be made.

Ghost: How long will that take?

Keymaker: Exactly 314 seconds.

Soren: Just over 5 minutes"


A little over 5 minutes. The Matrix Reloaded was released on 5.15.03, or "a little over 5 minutes." Did you get the play? Five minutes is exactly 300 seconds, yet the Keymaker said the time is 314 seconds, which is a little over 5 minutes. 5.15. Yet 15 seconds is 1/4 of a minute. Using numbers co-relationally, the release date of 5.15.03 is a code for 300.1/4.03. 314, a little over 5 minutes. 3.14 in reverse.

Pi, in coded palindrome.

Knowledge is power. Setianist systems are now in control of the Key. Why do you think they would voluntarily give it up? As knowledge is controlled and what you are allowed to know is too controlled, what makes anyone think that Thelema too is simply not a part of this larger control, designed as it is to control the minds of otherwise bright people to redirect their spiritual capital to create a reality based on a truth but in intent is a pure fraud?

One basic truth can be used as a foundation for a mountain of lies.

As Thelema is a self admitted Setianist tool and hence "Merovingian", why does anyone think that they would just "give it up" as such pertains to the nature and design of the Construct? They have no reason at all, and if Crowley could help advance information useful to the destruction of the Construct, so much the better! Do as thou wilt, shrivel, and die.

Like 5.15, the inherent meaning is before one's eyes but few have the capacity to understand the language.

Words as Constructed Truths

The late 1800's through the 1930's was a period where many competing esoteric systems were vying for public acceptance. The strongest was Continental Masonry, and many adherents from Higgins to Manley P. Hall worked tirelessly to lay down some of the more rational components of the Construct as designed and woven into the language.

However, by the 1870's, Continental Masonry was already in a state of decline internally, with various rituals rewritten by Pike to include a stronger reliance on Jewish Kaballah, a system largely ridiculed by earlier esoteric systems as Bacon. Even Agrippa called Jewish gematria systems as being designed to destroy "the Word", whereas Western esotericists put great emphasis on encoding the word with the intent to conceal without destroying.

Said Agrippa,

"...therefore this Cabala of the Jews is nothing else then a most pernicious superstition, by the which they gather at their pleasure, divide, transfer words, names and letters, scatteringly put in the holy Scriptures, and by making one thing out of another, they dissolve the connections of the truth, the speeches, inductions and parables, and here and there construing them by their own fictions, would bring the words of God to their follies,..."

What Agrippa was complaining about was a manner of writing that was intended to destroy the connections in words as designed such as to destroy the words and larger system such that truth would be lost.

The operative element here, again, is the use of words, and hence Letters, as the mechanism of encoding particular truths. Reorder, divide them, and otherwise set them into systems wholly foreign to the intent, and the truth of the Construct would be forever lost, even as the truth still remains right before one's eyes.

Divide, add, multiply, and understand...Thou shalt obtain the order & value of the English Alphabet; thou shalt find new symbols to attribute them unto.

Hermetic Qaballa and Hermetic Qaballa

Just as there are secrets, and there are secrets, that there are truths, and there are truths, that there are realities, and there are realities, and that there are foundations, and there are foundations, so too are there esoteric systems and esoteric systems.

Hermetic Qaballa is no different.

In the article Notaricon as a Key to English Qaballa, references are made to the nature of an esoteric design within English. That there is a "design" in English hints then at the idea known as "English Qaballa". This "English Qaballa" is then hinted at as being a "Hermetic Qaballa".

As various Continental Masonic systems sought to inject their "esoteric systems" into the collective public conscious, Setianist systems, having essentially "caught up" to Continental Masonry, were equally busy preparing their counter system of English Qaballa.

This would become the great search for the Crowley "English Qaballa", which some call now EQ-11, or English Qaballa 11, and simple skip cipher.

Yet as one peers into the Book of the Law, what we find is a massive layer of Continental Masonic knowledge being secreted and mystified. For example, ISIS has a value of 9+19+9+19 = 56, and in the Book of the Law, NUIT, which is French for the period after midnight, is given the phrase,

"24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty."

That the larger design as constructed by the Baconian Schools required additions, multiplications, and so forth, was also well established. In the word ENGLISH, we have the following formula:

E=5
N=14
G=7
L=12
ISH

(N-E=9=I)(G+L=19=S)IS(H), or English being a code for ISIS, H being an ending suffix. Or in the word THE, we have Isisian Code values of

T=4=10
H=8=36
E=5

(T*H)+E = 365 = SUN

The point as Agrippa commented is not to destroy the inherent connections to the truth for everything indeed is interconnected.

"Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen."

This is simply a reference to various cipher wheels in play. For instance, if you take a di and the facing number is a single dot, denoting 1, the opposite side of the di is a 6. The "Jews" system is Kabballah, or a worship of the Dreidle (dried el or Seth). Yet the larger system also knows that the very tip of an A is denoted as a number 1.

And since the Illuminatus System is all encompassing, the upper portion of the A can be added to the V to create an X, or in a numbering System, we can use the upper portion of the A to denote a "1" as in Arabic "8", and hence a 1 is a 6 and is an 8 equally for in music too, the Octave returns us to the original note

Do = 1
Re = 2
Mi = 3
Fa = 4
So = 5
La = 6
Ti = 7
Do = 1 or 8

Crowley is just making reference to the various cipher patterns and casting them into some mystical treatise. Why?

47. But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear.

This statement is mystical theft of an actual and basic Hermetic Qaballa principle, that there are two matrixes in play, the Jewish "kabballa" and a Hermetically sealed pattern known as "the Garden of Eden" which is protected by the "Cube and the Flaming Sword", aka, "flaming sword and cherubim". This matrix is known as the Philosopher's Stone.



















At the same time, though, the Star on Star mystical system of Crowley would become a best selling hit for the masses. The combined matrix would come to be known as "Super Man", or mankind elevated to a higher spiritual level that only Kryptonite, a code for "encryption", could destroy.

On the Nature of Fetches


I remember when I was first developing the Isisian Codes. I knew I had something, and I worked tirelessly in those early days of the Internet to find a way to communicate what was essentially an astrally driven insight: the challenge is to not appear as if one is too insane even to the point of keeping one's sanity. Many fail. Witness Dee, Crowley, to mention two of the more obviouss, each dying in on the fringes of madness and abandoned by all.

It is no secret that the Occult world has oft used the tools of the shaman. Meditation techniques, breathing techniques, focus techniques, and the use of hallucinogenics oft come into play. This was not much different for me. I grew up in a time when Christianity was still a strong and overt power play on the society. A former high school teacher slaked in darkness in her own residence to share "The Secret Teachings of All Ages".

Jung's work on archetypes provided an intellectual reason to escape from the Christian injected fear of the unknown. The "devil" was indeed, very sly and deceiving, and any delving into the then "Occult" was sure to bring a wrath. Evil was everywhere, except where it was obvious; the Christian mythos could never see itself has being the third little pig that devoured the wolf and hence had become likened unto it.

The Occult, if you are not familiar with some of its mechanisms, relies heavily on the astral. Hence the oft discussions of "ceremonial magic" and "protection spells", and "astral beings", and even the "elemental" or two. What some call "guardian angels", other view as dedicated guides on the souls path.

There is another name for these entities. They are called "fetches".

On the Nature of Fetches

What is the nature of a Fetch? Being one, I have always known, but how does one relate an inner knowledge to an external source? Why, in many ways, that is what a Fetch does, it seeks that which is required for a continued advancement of an esoteric nature to benefit any given series of Spiritual Essences. In this way, if you look, you can find Fetch's everywhere, for without them, the current world could not exist. Fetch's are servants to the individual, the clan (family), and the volk (community), and when you can see with the vision of a Fetch, there are Fetch's for Planets, Solar Systems, and even Galaxies.

Fetch's are not of this world, yet exist within it. Their tools are the symbols that make up the very nature of Archetypes, and can communicate through dreams or, for the more spiritually attuned, even in a waking state. Sit back and relax, and for the first time, The Fetch shall use information from the "world" to explain just what a "Fetch" is. It might come as a surprise to many of you.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Fetch's can be found sprinkled throughout Nordic Pagan, Celtic, and Wiccan philosophies, but it is in the Realm of Asatru that Fetch's find their highest degree of manifestation. Wicca, on the other hand, seems to relagate Fetch's to the most basic of tasks. According to "Grace Watchers Ministries"(1) which presents a Dictionary of Pagan and Wiccan Terms, a Fetch is defined as "A Male witch who acts as a messenger and general assistant to a Coven's High Priestess and High Priest." This position is also known as a "Summoner".

Gardnerian Wicca places a more etheric value to Fetch's, where "Summoners" are spoken of in "The Old Laws", a work released in 1961 (2): (...40)..."It be Ardane that each Coven shall not know where the next Coven bide, or who its members are , save the Priest and the High Priestess, that there should be no communication between them save by the Messenger of the Gods, or the Summoner."

Indeed, most of what we learn about "profane Fetch's" can be found in Wicca, for here is where a Fetch is at it's most humble of representations, and the term "Summoner" is most often used in this manifestation. However, not all traditions of Wicca make use of a Summoner, or a Fetch, but where these traditions exist, we find the purpose of Fetch's quite varied and central to the operation of the Coven.

In "Wicca 101", "Goddess Spirituality 101: Coven Structure, Section 4, A-D "(3) it is said that a Summoner is also known as "A Puck", is responsible for acting as the private messenger of the High Priestess, may be a Priest in training or simply someone capable of being seen without arousing suspicion. Equally, he is usually the only one who knows the whereabouts of all witches in a Coven with the exception of perhaps the High Priest, and is responsible for the mundane matters of the Coven such as contacting Coven members as to upcoming meetings, overseeing Coven finances, buying ritual supplies, coordinating gatherings, and providing light for the High Priestess and High Priest as needed during the circle."

It is said in the Celtic ways that to meet one's Fetch is a very bad thing indeed, for a Fetch is your dream double, and if you meet your Fetch, you are no longer of this world, but of the world beyond. In the end, you can never avoid your Fetch, for you can never avoid your fate."

If you have ever had rich pictured and sensation dreams where you are met with a member of the opposite sex or an animal, and in some cases, geometric charged shapes, then chances are, you have had a brush with your "fetch".

The fetch is an independent form that is attached to the person though not actually a part of the person, in a sense. It can some times easily be confused with the fylgja but it is actually a splintering of the fylgja that is done in order to accomplish some particular task. It comes generally in the form of an animal or of the opposite sex of the person it is attached to. It's purpose is to assist the person it is attached to in other realms. Most people never see or have need of their fetch until death, at which time it will generally guide them to the after-life. It can and often is passed along ancestral lines. - source

In Nordic Pagan shaman systems, the soul is seen to be divided into constituent components. Generally, these classifications fall into 5 primary forms: 1) The body, 2) Mind. 3) Soul, 4) Fetch, and 5) Orlaeg. Western esoteric traditions such as Masonry typically set forward a basic system 3 parts to the soul: 1)Mind, 2)Body, and 3) Spirit

Fetch's are equated to Woden or the Letter L in higher systems, and are primary dwellers in Asgard. Asgard as an esoteric construct, and the "Garden of Eden", are quite comparable in design and construction, hence to return to "Asgard" or to the "Garden of Eden" can be viewed as simple cultural transpositions of a shamanistic reality.

An anonymous author had this to say regarding Asgard and The Fetch:

Asgard. This is the highest realm of consciousness, this is almost pure consciousness and so Asgard is a realm of almost pure being. This has been described as a divine state of being. The central hall of Asgard is ruled by Odhinn the god of inspiration, the God whose very being is the Wode state. This realm relates to the those aspects of the soul known as the Wode and also that of the Fetch. The Wode is a state of divine inspiration which can be bestowed upon consciousness when the intellectual faculties are brought into harmony. In achieving the Wode state the intellectual powers open themselves to the most productive and fertile manifestation of the mind, the highest state of being - the state of frenzied inspiration - whilst the Wode is a principle which is connected with Asgard we must also recognise that its true home is Midgard or the self - one of the aims of rune work is to bring the Wode home - to reach that state of perfect integration that is truly Hailagaz and so while we have to discuss the Wode in relation to Asgard we must also acknowledge that its destination is Midhgard or the Self.

The Fetch, is the element of the soul which is truly at home in Asgard. The Fetch is that being who holds within its consciousness every thought, every act and every moment of your own conscious life and more besides. The Fetch is also the collective repository of all that has ever been in the mind of all your previous incarnations - hence it also carries with it the totality of your ancestral consciousness. One of the aspects of this is that the Fetch has knowledge of the realm of Hel, this is a transcendent knowledge as whilst the fetch's home is in Asgard its nature is to follow the soul through all of its incarnations - this leads one to posit an intimate connection between the Fetch and the seed of the entire soul structure known as the shade or Sal - this intimate connection implies that the Fetch even understands that state of being which occurs between one life and the next - a from of being which is not a being.

The Fetch is the most complete form of personal consciousness. Through exploring this level of the cosmos one can gain a better understanding of the nature of the Wode and its inspiration as well as gaining insights into the nature of the Fetch for this is the realm in which consciousness opens up to embrace more than mundane consciousness - in this realm we can gain access to ancestral consciousness a form of consciousness which links us directly with our mythical ancestor Odhinn. Alternately through exploring the Wode and trying to attain communication with the Fetch one can begin to understand the nature of Asgard. Either way the result of this exploration will be an intimate understanding of the highest states of being and the highest states of consciousness. The vowel sound which corresponds to Asgard is A the rune of divine inspiration. Through intoning this sound we activate Asgard in our personal sphere and hence give power to the Wode and to the Fetch.



The Letter A as an intonation carries with it a harmonic (as expected) and this harmonic has been identified through a new science called Cymatics.

Cymatics appears to be linked into knowledge of Pythagorean metanumerics and the concept known as "frozen sound". But all of this is for another post. For now, let's return back to the nature of Fetch's, and Sir Francis Bacon, regarded as the single most influential personages in the development of what we now call "English".

The idea of astral project carries with it an archetype known as "the Abyss". This is what could be considered a dark area of nothingness as one makes ones way to any given realm in an astral sense. This region is spoken of in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and plays a prominent role in esoteric work, both modern and traditional.

It is not my point to make this mystical, but rather to simply point out the nature of what is being said. Regarding Sir Francis Bacon, this interesting piece appears regarding the potential use of Cannabis.

Cannabis, appetite and "compounds"
In Sonnet 118 there is a potential cryptic link between "compounds and Cannabis which is known to be an appetite-stimulant (Conrad, 1997, Thackeray, 2003) :
" Like as to make our appetites more keen
With eager compounds we our palate urge "
In this poem, "compounds" would relate more directly to chemical compounds. This is supported by the fact that the word "drugs" occurs at the end of the sonnet in the context of homeopathic principles. Cannabis is known to have been used in homeopathic medicine, and the line "a healthful state, which rank of goodness, would by ill be cured" brings in use of the word "rank", itself closely related to "weed".

Cannabis, "weed" and writing
The fact that Cannabis was accessible in England in Shakespeare’s time is certain. It was used for clothing (as indicated by Shakespeare’s "what hempen homespuns have we swaggering here?", in A Midsummer’s Night Dream), as well as for canvas, rope and paper. Furthermore, chemical analysis 17th century clay pipes from Stratford-upon-Avon indicates that Cannabis was smoked, and may have been associated with creative writing (Thackeray et al, 2001".
An association between "weed" and writing, particularly sonnets of the kind associated with Petrarch and Phillip Sidney, is reflected not only in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 76 ("invention in a noted weed)", but also in a satirical poem by Joseph Hall, criticising a poet’s "filching" from the work of others :

"He can implore the heathen deities
to guide his bold and busy enterprise;
or filch whole pages at a clap for need
From honest Petrarch, clad in English weed".
Perhaps this satirical poem was directed at Shakespeare who "lifted" ideas from elsewhere, and who may have used Cannabis as a "source of inspiration" (Thackeray, 2003).
- source
The point here is that the word "Cannabis" may be itself a classic case of an imbedded code.

CAN
ABYSS

An "elixir" to help aid the soul into the realms of Asgard and hence to an understanding of how the Construct was crafted. Perhaps this, more than any other reason, is a primary cause of the Illuminatus as an elite to vilify the "plant" lest people come to understand the manner in which the Construct was grown, and through which things can be perceived and understood relative to how it was all crafted.

No matter how you find your way to "your fetch", and no, this was not my channel or direction, understand that there comes a time when practical work needs to be effected in the astral.

This is the realm of "the Fetch".
