It's Sunday and time for another weekly Thoth reading for the followers of Sagans Sorcery: The Empress and Adjustment:

𝗔𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

This week our attention is being brought to the tides of nature and how our actions, or inactions, create ripples in time. When we are hit with the reaction of an action, or create these reactions ourselves, we are being asked to cancel them out with their opposites to remain in a state of harmony. This is an incredibly venusian reading, as such, cause and effect should be balanced with love and seen for the very truth of what life really is; nature simply taking its course. When we are able to approach life without any interpersonal prejudice but also approach it with great love, truth and poise, we gain the greatest satisfaction of all.

Happy Birthday Mr. Crowley

[mondoweirdojunkie]

[thesorcererpoet]

While I don't want too give too many details, I have been really "going through it" lately. When I face times like these, I often turn to my spirituality. It is the one tool I have that helps me above all else, when facing difficulties in life. I can't begin to express how much it has helped me over the years, how it has spurred me on to overcome seemingly impossible situations.

Anyway, lately my mental health has been taking a big turn for the worse. I am going through a great deal of change and some of what has happened as a result has left me pretty shattered. I have become very negative and it's having an impact on both my job and on the spiritual work that I do for others.

My spiritual work is really important to me. I have always striven to help people where I can. I make a point of giving generously of my time, giving explanations of techniques, showing people to good and useful books they might not have heard of, spending time talking about what other people are experiencing spiritually, particularly spiritual emergencies, such as what I feel like I am facing now.

A spiritual emergency is usually something that leads to a big break through, even sometimes big enlightenment experiences. This stuff is not easy and a lot of the time, it comes up for some people, spiritually inclined or not, after life throws some difficult circumstances at them. (Such as the death of a loved one, the shattering of an illusion, sudden sickness, job loss, loss of purpose, heartbreak etc).

Now, usually I am capable of helping myself but I'm going to be honest, lately I have been in very deep. Thankfully, I live with a fellow spiritual practitioner, which is actually how we initially met. My partner @saganssorcery has been my absolute rock these last few days in particular.

Yesterday, I was almost at the peak of my utter despair in many ways. I have made some serious mistakes at work, and I am struggling a lot with getting along with others. I am also dealing with a great deal of financial and personal difficulties in the world. I have lost a lot of friends and have found myself outcasted by people I really loved. I want to give the reason but I don't feel that's necessarily appropriate, I guess all I can say is that I was languishing in a very bad situation for many years in a relationship with someone I desperately wanted to escape. I finally did it and a lot of people have been less than supportive, others outright cruel. Sagan is literally the only person who has ever helped me with this, it was through her that I finally managed to get out.

So yesterday and last night, Sagan sat with me teaching me things, something I have done for many others over the years and for the first time, something someone did for me. She went through a self empowerment mantra that works by going up the tree of life saying seven good things about yourself, 10 times per sphere, then once for each chakra and then once to the universe or heaven. This was literally designed to reprogram the negative pathways in my brain to change how I feel so I can continue to be capable of supporting us, and of doing my important spiritual work.

The other thing she did, was sit me down and do the most in depth tarot reading I have ever had. First of all, 11 cards, one for each sephirot on the tree of life, explaining in depth the combination of the card and its effect on the sphere. Then she followed through with placing all of the cards down for each of the 22 paths and read through each, including the two connected sephirot, and the path itself. It worked like a mirror of my soul, at this very moment I am in now. It took her a good couple of hours to go through it all in detail. I suppose it helps that I know tarot very well so we can communicate a lot quicker about this stuff, but yeah, I have never felt so seen in all of my life. It was almost like she was a doctor, diagnosing the spiritual sickness in me and prescribing the cure, or more to the point, showing me where to look. The answers were not simple but this definitely served to reveal to me things I had never had the chance of expressing. I cannot tell you all how profoundly grateful I am. Anyway, I have urged her to offer this work to others because, even though it is a hell of a lot of work, I do really strongly feel she can help others with it.

And on her forehead a name was written, MYSTERY…

[alephskoteinos]

Crowley clearly perceived the donkey-headed Seth Typhon figure as being a kind of Satan parallel, or in his terms a form of what we call Satan. I'm convinced he had some idea about Seth Typhon that allows him to perceive a link. Funny, in this respect him and Kenneth Grant aren't so far removed from each other.

[machtwehr]

the order of nigel and alex’s parents reminds me of the order of the eastern templars of aleister crowley, who were not doing at all what nigel was interested in and what he was trying to convey to alex. perhaps that's why he talked about the loss of greatness. everything is very far from its origins.

24/06/2023:

Behind the androgynous figure (The Lovers combined) in ART, is a Golden Sun with the Latin inscription inviting us to "visit the interior parts of the Earth: by rectification you shall find the Hidden Stone." This bringing together of opposites sees opposing forces transforming into a new state of Being - the Emperor and Empress (of The Lovers) reaches fulfillment, the Highest Transformation.

The Sun (in Art) is also held aloft by Khephra, the Holy Beetle in THE MOON, signifying an emergence from the source of Life (Binah, the Waters of the Subconsciousness), climbing towards external goals: "it is this beetle that bears the Sun in his Silence through the darkness of Night and the bitterness of Winter" (A.C/B.o.T.)

The same Disk is featured on the Ace as a golden coin, here however it depicts Body and Soul have finally met in harmonic union, relating to the MOON's emerging scarab, we now realise that the deeper our roots reach into the Earth, the higher we will be able to soar (the many wings surrounding the Disk).

(Phyllis Seckler/THE MOON) - "The trump describes the inner growth which takes place in the unconscious and which can surface in remembered dreams. This is also a path with a good deal of danger, for if the signs from the unconscious are poorly understood, or the student is lost in the astral life, he forgets his spiritual nature and his higher aim towards his true self, his H.G.A., he can become confused and lost."

"It is not out of dust that sorrow comes, nor out of the Earth that trouble grows; but Man is born of suffering, like sparks, to rush upwards." (Job 5: 6-7)

The image of the Knight bears this out - he brings forth the harvest of the Earth but only through toil, even his steed is flagging. The shining Sun of ART, held aloft by the beetle in the MOON and central to the Ace - is his shield, which he holds up reflecting the nourishing rays of sunlight across his domain, producing life.

"Let there be no difference made among you, between any one thing and any other thing; for thereby cometh hurt." (A.C./B.o.T.)

The Knight's flail is the central fiery Wand of 7/Wands - "the army has been thrown into disorder; if a Victory is to be won, it will be by dint of individual valour - a Soldier's Battle." (A.C./B.o.T.)

The Knight's ultimate goal is to reach Happiness (9/Cups) but he sees the journey ahead will be long and arduous - in his stiff armour holding his shining Disk he is THE MOON's holy scarab Khephra emerging from the Sea of Binah:

"Let the illusion of the World pass over thee unheeded, as thou goest from Midnight to the Morning." (A.C./B.o.T.)

2024

Every January I pick a Thoth Trump as my phone lock screen, to give me something to meditate on throughout the year. 2024 gives me Death.

The Universe is Change; every Change is the effect of an Act of Love; all Acts of Love contain Pure Joy. Die daily. Death is the apex of one curve of the snake Life: behold all Opposites as necessary complements, and rejoice.

It's Sunday and time for another weekly Thoth reading for the followers of Sagans Sorcery:

Adjustment and Princess of Swords

𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗹

This week's focus revolves around balancing how we have been wronged with its opposite to remain in a state of harmony. While it is likely that we have been harmed, we need to remember that what has been done to us isn't always our fault. We could very well be completely innocent and still have people who wish to persecute us for things beyond our control. This is a warning to not lose yourself in what seems like rightful revenge and hatred for the acts of defilement against our character, instead we need to bring these experiences back into balance with what our true character is. If you were never cruel before, don't lose yourself by becoming cruel. It's important we understand who we are so we can balance these feelings healthily and not allow ourselves to fall into their traps.

New Tracing Boards by Lady Frieda Harris Discovered!

LONDON. Occultists and art-lovers have been celebrating today at the discovery of a new set of Masonic Tracing Boards, which are alleged to have been painted by Lady Frieda Harris, better known as the illustrator of the Crowley Thoth Tarot Deck. Harris was previously known to have created a set of tracing boards circa 1938 for the three degrees of Craft Masonry, which manage to combine Masonic…
