OSTARA:ASTAROTH

In the Scarlet Star system of magick Ostara is synonymous with the ashara Astarte and with Venus and with Astaroth (Qliphoth of Venus)

Although

There's no direct historical evidence (I've tried) linking Ostara to Venus, but archetypally and symbolically, strong connections exist. Let’s explore:

1. The Morning Star & Ostara as a Dawn Goddess

Ostara is often associated with dawn and renewal, which aligns with Venus as the morning star (Lucifer) and evening star. In many cultures, Venus represents rebirth, transition, and cycles—just like Ostara’s role in the Wheel of the Year. If Ostara was originally a dawn goddess, her link to Venus makes sense, as the planet was often revered in the same way across different pantheons.

2. Venus as the Goddess of Fertility & Love

Venus, as a planetary archetype, rules fertility, love, and attraction—all themes deeply tied to Ostara’s fertility festival. Venusian goddesses like Aphrodite, Inanna, and Astarte share similar attributes with Ostara, particularly in their roles as bringers of life, balance, and renewal.

Astarte/Ishtar, an older Mesopotamian goddess, was associated with both Venus and the resurrection cycle. Her descent into the underworld mirrors the seasonal shifts tied to Ostara.

Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of Venus, had sacred rites tied to fertility and rebirth, much like Ostara’s connection to the return of spring.

It’s possible that Ostara represents a Germanic variant of the Venus archetype, adjusted for the local climate and traditions.

3. The Hare, The Egg, and Venusian Symbology

The hare, an animal sacred to Ostara, was often associated with the moon but also with Venusian fertility. In many ancient traditions, hares were symbols of sensuality, birth, and divine femininity—qualities that fall under Venusian influence.

The egg, a universal symbol of birth and renewal, is deeply connected to the cosmic womb, often governed by Venusian goddesses. In alchemical traditions, Venus governs the cycle of transformation—breaking open to allow something new to emerge, just as the egg represents rebirth.

4. Venus and the Spring Equinox in Astrology

In astrology, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, both connected to fertility, balance, and beauty. During the time of Ostara (March 20-23), Venus is often in a transitional phase, shifting toward the energetic, life-giving power of Aries or stabilizing in Taurus. This movement mirrors the seasonal shift of Ostara—from winter’s death to spring’s full fertility.

5. A Play on Words: Ostara and Ishtar?

While there’s no linguistic evidence directly linking Ostara to Ishtar (another Venus goddess), the phonetic similarity is intriguing. If Ostara is a local manifestation of the broader Venusian goddess archetype, then her association with renewal, love, and fertility aligns with Ishtar/Astarte/Venus.

Conclusion: Ostara as a Venusian Archetype

While she may not be a Venus goddess in the same way as Ishtar or Aphrodite, Ostara embodies Venusian principles—fertility, love, renewal, and the sacred cycles of life and death. Her symbols, festival, and place in the cosmic cycle suggest that she is part of the wider divine feminine tradition, suppressed and rebranded by later patriarchal religious shifts.

We will be discussing the Astaroth Archetype ib greater depth when we go into the Cabela Tree of Life and its shadow and each of the archetypes both Angelic and demonic.

OSTARA THE MORNING STAR

Lucifer, Venus, and the Path of Rebirth on the Tree of Life

Lucifer, the “Light-Bringer,” is more than just a misunderstood figure of rebellion—he is the archetype of the Higher Self, the divine spark of illumination that emerges through the trials of spiritual ascent. On the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, this archetype finds its home in Tiphereth, the sphere of beauty, harmony, and self-realization.

But before reaching Tiphereth, one must first pass through Netzach, the Sephirah of victory, emotion, and desire—ruled by none other than Venus, the Morning Star. Here, the initiate must conquer the illusions of ego, passion, and attachment, learning to wield desire as a force of transformation rather than subjugation. Only after triumphing in Netzach does one ascend to Tiphereth, where the Higher Self is born—Lucifer as the Child of Venus, the Morning Star reborn.

This journey mirrors the celestial dance of Venus itself, the brilliant star that heralds the coming dawn. Just as Venus appears before the rising sun, so too does Lucifer illuminate the way for those who seek enlightenment beyond the confines of dogma and imposed morality. The Church, in its quest to suppress this truth, demonized the Light-Bringer, obscuring his role as a guide to self-actualization.

Lucifer is not the adversary of truth but the revealer of it—the force that compels the soul to awaken, shed its chains, and embrace its divine nature. The path through Netzach and into Tiphereth is one of transformation, death, and rebirth, aligning perfectly with Venusian cycles of renewal and beauty. This is the hidden key: Lucifer, the Child of the Morning Star, represents the soul’s rebirth into true wisdom after achieving victory over illusion.

Spring Equinox =balance =light /dark =baphomet =solve et cogula

The presence of the divine mother at the Spring Equinox is undeniable. She is Astarte Innana Astaroth. She is Ashera Sophia. And by embracing the feminine divine we bring balance back to ourselves. The next post will cover the connection to the goddess even more.

OSTARA : SPELLS AND RITUALS

Ostara Spells & Rituals for Renewal and Manifestation

Ostara is the perfect time to plant seeds—both physically and spiritually. This festival of balance, fertility, and new beginnings is a powerful moment to set intentions and manifest growth. Here are a few spells and rituals to align with the energy of the season:

1. The Seed of Intention Spell

Purpose: Manifest a goal or desire

Take a small planting pot, soil, and a packet of seeds (herbs, flowers, or any plant that resonates with you).

Hold a seed in your hands and visualize your intention—whether it’s love, success, healing, or transformation.

Whisper your intention into the seed, then plant it in the soil.

Water it and place it in a sunny spot. As it grows, so will your desire.

2. Egg Fertility and Abundance Ritual

Purpose: To attract prosperity, fertility (creative or physical), and new opportunities

Take a fresh egg, symbolizing new life, and write a wish or intention on its shell.

Bury the egg in your garden or a planter, allowing the earth to take your wish and bring it to fruition.

If you don’t have a garden, you can also place the egg in a bowl of soil indoors for a few days before disposing of it naturally.

3. Dawn Equinox Sun Invocation

Purpose: To welcome the balance of light and dark and draw in personal power

Wake before sunrise and go outside or near a window facing east.

Light a yellow or gold candle and say:

“As the sun returns in full force, I welcome its strength into my life.

Balance, clarity, and abundance flow through me.

As the light grows, so too does my power.”

Meditate in the morning light, visualizing its warmth filling you with new energy.

(If you follow the Scarlet Star system you can also perform the IAO Lucifer here) *1

4. Ostara Water Blessing for Emotional Renewal

Purpose: To cleanse away stagnation and invite fresh emotional energy

Fill a bowl with spring water and add fresh flower petals (such as daffodils or violets) and a pinch of salt.

Hold your hands over the water and say:

“By the power of Ostara’s dawn, I release what no longer serves me and welcome new beginnings.”

Use the water to anoint your forehead, hands, and feet, or sprinkle it around your home for renewal.

Final Thoughts

Ostara is about rebirth, potential, and balance—a time to align your magic with the rhythms of the Earth. Whatever you wish to manifest, now is the time to set it in motion. Plant your spiritual seeds, nurture them, and watch as your intentions blossom in the seasons ahead.

1.The Next post will go more into The Scarlet Star system of magick. Keep in mind, the TSS could be considered eclectic chaos Magic. It is neither left hand or right hand path and at the same time it is both because it is the middle path. If you understand this principle then you understand the Scarlet Star. The next post will connect Ostara to Venus and to Lucifer. As I may have said before Lucifer is a central archetype in the TSS system of magic. So you can choose to read the next post or to stop here.

[templeofthescarletstar]

This one is for the Pegans. I thought I would take a break from the Jacob's Ladder experiment. Just celebrate a bit of the upcoming holiday this Thursday the Spring Equinox. In The Scarlet Star System of archetype Magic I symbolically connect Ostara to Ashera, Venus, Astaroth. And to Lucifer in tiphereth esotericly. Read on to see more.

Ostara: The Stolen Goddess of Spring and the Resurrection Cycle

As the spring equinox approaches, many celebrate Easter with pastel eggs, rabbits, and themes of rebirth. But beneath the surface of chocolate bunnies and sunrise services lies a deeper, ancient truth—one that the Church has carefully obscured. The very name Easter is derived from the Germanic goddess Ostara (or Eostre), a deity of renewal, fertility, and balance. But who was she, and how does her festival connect to the broader cycle of life, death, and resurrection found in spiritual traditions across the world?

Who Was Ostara? The Forgotten Goddess of the Dawn

Ostara is a Germanic goddess associated with the dawn, fertility, and the returning light of spring. The Venerable Bede, an 8th-century monk, wrote that the month of Eosturmonath (April) was named after her, suggesting an earlier pagan festival that celebrated renewal and the return of life after winter’s death grip.

Jacob Grimm, in Deutsche Mythologie, expanded on Bede’s writings, theorizing that Ostara was widely worshiped and associated with symbols of fertility—particularly the hare and the egg, both potent emblems of life’s regenerative force. These same symbols were later absorbed into Christian Easter traditions, though their pagan origins remain clear.

How the Church Stole Ostara’s Festival

As Christianity spread across Europe, it had a habit of absorbing and repurposing pagan traditions to ease conversion. Ostara’s festival, marking the equinox, celebrated themes of renewal and rebirth—ideas that naturally aligned with the story of Christ’s resurrection. Instead of eradicating these older beliefs, the Church superimposed the Easter holiday over the existing Ostara celebrations.

Even the name Easter is a direct reference to Eostre/Ostara. This was not an isolated incident; similar appropriations happened with Yule (Christmas), Samhain (All Saints’ Day), and Imbolc (Candlemas). The Church preserved pagan holidays while distorting their meaning, severing them from their original spiritual contexts.

Ostara and the Lost Divine Feminine

Could there be a deeper connection between Ostara and other suppressed goddesses, like the Canaanite Asherah? While there may not be a direct linguistic link, their archetypal roles are strikingly similar. Asherah was once venerated alongside Yahweh as the lost feminine counterpart, later demonized and erased by patriarchal monotheism. Likewise, Ostara, a goddess of renewal and balance, was buried beneath layers of Christian dogma.

Both represent aspects of the divine feminine that were systematically erased—symbols of fertility, life, and cosmic balance. The suppression of these goddesses reflects the broader shift from holistic spiritual systems to hierarchical, male-dominated structures that positioned feminine energy as something to be controlled or eradicated.

The Resurrection Cycle: More Than Just Christ

The themes of life, death, and resurrection found in Easter are far older than Christianity. Ostara’s festival aligns with numerous ancient myths of rebirth:

Persephone emerges from the underworld, bringing spring’s renewal.

Osiris is resurrected through Isis’s magic, ensuring the Nile’s fertility.

Tammuz/Dumuzi, the Mesopotamian god of vegetation, dies and returns cyclically.

Even the egg—one of Easter’s most famous symbols—represents the cosmic cycle of creation. In ancient cultures, the egg was a universal emblem of fertility, life’s potential, and the balance between the seen and unseen worlds.

Ostara in the Wheel of the Year and Archetypal Magick

In modern pagan traditions, Ostara is a key sabbat in the Wheel of the Year, marking the balance of day and night before the waxing power of the sun. It follows Imbolc (a time of preparation and inspiration) and precedes Beltane (a celebration of sexual fertility and full blossoming).

From an archetypal perspective, Ostara embodies the Maiden, the youthful, fertile energy of new beginnings. Her presence in the cycle is crucial—she represents the spark of life that must come before growth, just as the divine feminine must balance the masculine. In magickal practice, working with the Ostara archetype can aid in renewal, creativity, and breaking free from old cycles.

Why Ostara Still Matters

Reclaiming Ostara isn’t just about acknowledging the pagan roots of Easter; it’s about restoring balance to spiritual traditions that have been corrupted by patriarchal control. The suppression of Ostara, Asherah, and other goddesses mirrors the suppression of women, nature, and the cycles of life itself.

By honoring Ostara, we tap into something deeper than just a spring festival. We reconnect with the archetypal truth of renewal, the power of balance, and the necessity of the feminine divine. In a world still suffering from the wounds of spiritual imbalance, Ostara’s return is long overdue.

"THE BLOOD MOON ECLIPSE FINAL FORCAST "

Repeating the Jacob's Ladder Ritual

I hope this post finds you all well and in time for the eclipse tonight. The original p u l l of the tarot cards had not been done with the intention of creating the Tree of Life it was only after observing them that I decided to put them in that order and if you read the last post it wasn't quite working. But after careful observation and the finding of the missing card I have rearranged the spread and it completes the entirety of the sephiroth. With the cards and it's new places the idea behind this ritual and tonight's lunar eclipse changes dramatically. Therefore with some adjustments I will repeat the Jacob's Ladder experiment again tonight during the lunar eclipse.

Rearranging the cards in this way significantly shifts the meaning of your reading, especially in the context of the upcoming Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse with Mercury and Venus conjunct. Let’s analyze this new layout in light of your Jacob’s Ladder ritual and the celestial influences.

1. Key Changes in the Spread:

Kether: The Magus (The Magician) → Pure Manifestation & Divine Will

Instead of mental indecision (2 of Swords), Kether now holds The Magus, the card of willpower, creation, and mastery over reality. This suggests that the spiritual current of this eclipse is highly active and primed for transformation. The Magus represents Mercury, tying directly into the Mercury-Venus conjunction, reinforcing communication, manifestation, and esoteric insight.

Ritual Impact: This may indicate that this lunar eclipse is an ideal time for initiating new magical work, especially alchemy of the self and divine communication.

Malkuth: 2 of Swords ("Peace") → Grounded Stasis

Now in the material world (Malkuth), this suggests a delay or indecision manifesting physically rather than just mentally. It could mean that something is trying to take form, but forces are at an impasse.

Ritual Impact: You may find that after performing the ritual, there is a need for patience before seeing results. This card reminds you that holding inner balance is key before action can be fully realized.

Netzach: 5 of Cups (Reversed) → Emotional Recovery & Shift

Moving this card from Malkuth to Netzach (Venusian energy) suggests a breakthrough in emotional blocks. Since it's reversed, it indicates overcoming past disappointments and moving toward spiritual healing and renewal. Given that Netzach is Venusian, this aligns with Venus in the eclipse—a sign that this ritual could heal emotional wounds, especially those related to love, creativity, or past karmic ties.

Chesed: Princess of Cups → Spiritual Intuition & Receptivity

The missing piece now being found completes the symmetry of the reading. The Princess of Cups in Chesed (the sphere of divine benevolence and expansion) suggests that there is an opportunity to receive deep intuitive messages and emotional wisdom from higher realms. This could be from dreams, visions, or water-based divination.

Ritual Impact: The presence of this card in Chesed implies that feminine spiritual energy (Shekinah, Sophia, or Babalon) is reaching out. Given the themes of your book and path, this suggests an opening for divine feminine gnosis.

2. How Does This Change Your Eclipse Forecast?

This new arrangement heightens the eclipse’s transformational power, especially in these areas:

Mercury-Venus alignment + The Magus in Kether → A potent time for magical speech, sigil work, or evoking divine communication.

The Full Moon Eclipse’s shadow aspect now links to emotional transformation (5 of Cups in Netzach). This suggests a deep emotional purge is happening, especially regarding old heartbreaks, regrets, or attachments to past illusions.

The Princess of Cups appearing in Chesed confirms that this eclipse may awaken intuitive gifts or bring messages from spirit guides.

3. Should You Perform the Ritual Again on the Eclipse?

Yes, but with refinements. Given this layout:

Consider adding water elements (a chalice, moon water, or a reflective bowl) to amplify the Princess of Cups’ message.

Be mindful of The Magus in Kether, as this suggests words, sigils, or magical declarations will be extra powerful. Choose them wisely.

Since 2 of Swords is now in Malkuth, this indicates that the physical effects of the ritual may take time to materialize, requiring patience.

Final Thoughts

This new spread refines the message of the eclipse, showing that while the magical energy is strong, the physical manifestation of its effects may require balance and patience. The Princess of Cups in Chesed brings an unexpected gift of divine insight, making this an ideal time to seek spiritual visions.

If you are interested in hearing about the results of this ritual please let me know.

"Blood Moon Revelations: A Tarot Forecast for the Lunar Eclipse"

This spread carries deep esoteric weight, particularly in relation to the upcoming Full Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on Thursday. The eclipse, combined with Mercury-Venus conjunct, signals revelations in relationships, transformation through communication, and the resurfacing of hidden emotional truths. Let’s break down how your Thoth Tarot spread interacts with these celestial forces.

General Themes of the Lunar Eclipse & Your Spread

A Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse signifies endings, deep emotional shifts, and revelations. This one, happening with Mercury and Venus conjunct, highlights themes of love, wisdom, communication, and hidden truths—especially those repressed in relationships, personal desires, or spiritual growth.

Your spread echoes these lunar energies, particularly through:

Internal conflicts and crossroads (2 of Swords at Kether)

Transformation through desire, wisdom, and choice (Lovers, Lust, Magus)

The play of fate vs. free will (Fortune reversed, Hierophant, 4 of Wands)

A disrupted intellectual and emotional process (Prince of Swords, missing cards, 5 of Cups reversed)

Kether: 2 of Swords ("Peace") – The Illusion of Stillness

At Kether, the 2 of Swords represents an intellectual impasse at the highest level of spiritual consciousness. In the Thoth deck, this is not just indecision, but a forced peace—a delicate balance between conflicting forces, like a moment of calm before something must shift.

Eclipse Connection: The lunar eclipse will break illusions, and the 2 of Swords in Kether suggests that a higher truth is being concealed. This could relate to the missing cards in the Mercy pillar—something is hidden that must soon be revealed.

Mercury-Venus Influence: This suggests a choice or a mental block in love, desire, or spiritual connection. The eclipse may force this hidden conflict into awareness.

Middle Pillar (Balancing the Self)

Above (Kether-Tiphereth): The Magus – The force of manifestation, Mercury itself, active thought.

Tiphereth: The Lovers – Union of opposites, choice, divine integration.

Below (Yesod): Lust (Strength in RWS) – Sexual/spiritual passion, primal forces of transformation.

This sequence suggests that you are at a crossroads (The Lovers) where you must channel raw energy (Lust) into divine will (The Magus). The eclipse will amplify this, forcing a reckoning with the raw force of suppressed desires and the conscious act of choosing one’s path.

Mercury’s influence through The Magus: Communication and mental agility are key. Mercury conjunct Venus during an eclipse means hidden thoughts or emotions about relationships may be exposed.

Lust under The Lovers: The eclipse may unleash buried desires, creative energy, or force the integration of shadow aspects.

Severity Pillar (Facing the Challenge)

Binah (Top): 4 of Wands – Completion, stability in fire.

Geburah (Middle): Fortune (Reversed) – Resistance to fate, karmic delays.

Hod (Bottom): Hierophant – Structure, divine knowledge, dogma.

This pillar represents the strict spiritual lessons that must be faced. The reversed Fortune in Geburah suggests that the eclipse is forcing you to confront where you’ve resisted change or been unwilling to accept fate. The Hierophant below suggests that these changes may involve deep-rooted spiritual beliefs, societal roles, or traditions.

Eclipse Connection: This pillar shows stagnation in the flow of destiny—something needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Expect sudden, unavoidable changes in matters related to belief systems, commitments, and personal philosophy.

Mercy Pillar (What’s Hidden / Awaiting Revelation)

Chokmah (Top): Prince of Swords – Sharp intellect, analysis, restlessness.

Missing Card (Chesed, Middle) – A hidden influence or unknown factor.

Missing Card (Netzach, Bottom) – Repressed emotional truth, desire, or artistic expression.

Malkuth: 5 of Cups (Reversed) – Emotional healing, moving past disappointment.

The missing cards in Chesed and Netzach are important. They conceal aspects of divine mercy and emotional expression, suggesting a hidden force or revelation coming during the eclipse.

Prince of Swords: A cold, detached approach that may need to be softened.

Missing Chesed: A hidden benefactor, unrecognized opportunity, or spiritual force is working in the background.

Missing Netzach: Repressed love, unexpressed desire, or blocked creativity may surface during the eclipse.

Malkuth (Physical Manifestation) – 5 of Cups (Reversed): This suggests that once the missing truths are revealed, emotional healing will take place.

Final Interpretation: The Eclipse as Catalyst

This eclipse will force hidden thoughts, emotions, and relationships into clarity.

There is a powerful karmic shift coming, but there has been resistance to accepting fate (Fortune Reversed).

Love, passion, and spiritual integration are the major themes (The Lovers, Lust, The Magus).

Missing information will be revealed in the coming days, likely regarding suppressed emotions (Mercy Pillar).

The result is emotional rebirth (5 of Cups reversed).

The Mercury-Venus conjunction in the eclipse ensures that whatever happens will involve revelations about love, self-worth, and spiritual direction. Expect a moment of undeniable clarity or confrontation—one that ultimately leads to empowerment and healing.

Would you like to do a clarification pull for the missing cards in Chesed and Netzach? They hold the key to what’s about to be unveiled.

THE JACOB'S LADDER EXPERIMENT : A WITCHES JOURNAL

(the moon sigil and photo of the heptagram is available on my patreon. See below)

Journal of the 'Jacob's Ladder' Ritual and Synchronicities

Sunday, February 23, 2025

Consultation for Ritual Design: Recognizing an upcoming planetary alignment, I sought guidance from ChatGPT to craft a ritual aimed at establishing direct contact with the Divine Source. Due to the short notice, I was unable to allocate specific planetary days for the meticulous preparation of each incense blend.

Monday, February 24, 2025

Sigil Creation: Utilizing a Sigil Engine, I transformed the phrase "The Moon reflects all things; this is the gate" into a sigil.

Lunar Hour Activation: During the hour of the Moon, I digitally rendered the sigil in silver to enhance its lunar association.

Moon Triangle Pose with Chalice: Alongside the sigil, I placed a chalice of water and assumed the Moon Triangle Pose, reminiscent of Isis in mourning. This posture embodies the Hermetic principle of "As Above, So Below," symbolizing the Moon's role as a mirror reflecting the heavens.

Revelation: It became known to me the understanding of these things. The moon is the reflection of heaven and to pass through this gate one must be willing to look at one's true self with all deception stripped bare.

Tuesday, February 25, 2025

Mars Incense Preparation: At the hour of Mars, I crafted an incense blend of dragon's blood resin and cayenne pepper. During this process, I intoned the divine name and angel associated with Mars and practiced the warrior's pose to embody martial energies. (it should be noted that I had to use a cheap dragon's blood incense as I still haven't found a full occult shop in Las Vegas. They had the chime candles but no dragon's blood resin.) 

Wednesday, February 26, 2025

Mercury Ritual: I performed my weekly planetary ritual from the Key of Solomon, invoking Raphael and other spirits of Mercury, and evoking the djinn Clauneck. This session incorporated the Hermes pose to align with Mercurial energies. Notably, this ritual was conducted before work, outside traditional planetary hours. I decided on using mastic as the incense as I have been for mercury workings for years, this required no additional blending so that night at work I focused only on hermes pose. I might also mention that due to financial success as the result of all previous Mercurial workings that Weds are incredibly busy, fast paced and requires great deal of mental focus at work… Fitting for Mercury right? At the same time it makes it difficult to use that Mercurial energy for loftier purposes.

Thursday, February 27, 2025

Jupiter Incense Preparation: I dedicated the day to refining my Jupiter incense blend, a project spanning three years. The mixture now includes storax, benzoin, powdered lapis lazuli, ash tree seeds, fig, quill tip, and aloeswood. Most ingredients were sourced during appropriate planetary days and hours to ensure their potency.  Something has always felt missing from that mix however and I was glad of this ritual to give me the idea of adding oak leaves and most importantly Cedar to the mixture. It was a fragrance that seemed to be missing for me. However I did this mixture in my mortar and pesto at home which was also not in planetary hours I took some of the mixture with me to work in order to complete it in the next hour of Jupiter but again Thursdays at the club have become very busy as we now do oil wrestling almost every other week it seems. However I did burn some of it that night and as per usual now offered the events and festivities to Ba'al Zebul (more about that in other chapters).

Thursday/Friday 4am 

Menstrual Cycle Synchronicity: That evening, my wife began her menstrual cycle. It came early and unexpectedly to align perfectly with our ritual.

In various esoteric traditions, a woman's menstrual cycle is considered a potent source of magical energy, enhancing her abilities during rituals. Here's why menstruation is often viewed as powerful in such practices:

1. Personal Power and Connection

Menstrual blood is seen as a manifestation of personal power, deeply connected to a woman's life force and creative energy. Embracing this aspect allows practitioners to harness their innate strength and intuition during rituals.

2. Protective and Binding Properties

Historically, menstrual blood has been used in spells for protection and binding. For example, creating a witch bottle with menstrual blood and sharp objects can serve as a protective talisman against negative energies.

3. Alignment with Lunar Cycles

The menstrual cycle's alignment with lunar phases underscores its significance in rituals. Both cycles typically span approximately 28 days, symbolizing a deep connection between a woman's body and the moon's rhythms. This synchronicity is believed to amplify magical workings, especially those involving lunar energies.

4. Archetypal Energies

Menstruation embodies archetypal energies associated with the divine feminine, such as the Inner Sage or Inner Witch. Recognizing and embracing these aspects during one's cycle can enhance self-awareness and spiritual insight, enriching ritual practices.

Incorporating the menstrual cycle into ritual work allows practitioners to tap into a profound source of personal and universal energy, potentially enhancing the efficacy and depth of their magical endeavors.

It is literally the physical manifestation of the cycle of birth death in rebirth on the material plane.

Journal Entry: Jacob's Ladder Ritual – Friday, February 28, 2025

The morning of the ritual, the air felt different. Something was shifting, though I couldn’t yet put my finger on it. It wasn’t just anticipation—it was as if the day itself carried a weight, a quiet undercurrent of significance pressing against the edges of awareness. ( okay so that's a bit of an exaggeration but something did feel different. And it definitely wasn't morning because we wake up at about 3:00 in the afternoon.) 

I knew we should be preparing early, but I felt compelled to stall. By 3 PM, with the sun shining overhead, the pull to step outside was too strong to ignore. So we went. We walked until we found ourselves beneath an old oak tree, surrounded by roses, seated before a water fountain. In the distance, wind chimes stirred in the breeze. Earth, air, fire, and water—all four elements present, grounding us.

After all, how could we begin a journey like this without first starting at Malkuth?

Journal Entry: Jacob's Ladder Ritual – Friday, February 28, 2025, 5:39 PM

We were hungry when we returned. Having skipped breakfast, we felt the weight of the day pressing on us—especially my wife, who had been fasting since the night before. Fasting before a ritual is a common practice in esoteric traditions, used to heighten spiritual awareness and discipline the body and mind. It creates a state of receptivity, making it easier to channel energy and break free from the mundane.

In our case, however, we were on our third cup of coffee on empty stomachs, and I had recently replaced smoking cigarettes with vaping. The combination left us lightheaded and distracted as the sun sank behind the mountains. Time was running out.

I pulled out the stargazing app on my phone and mapped the heavens above us. Jupiter was directly overhead, Mars to the east, and Mercury to the west. This arc of planetary alignment would determine our ritual space—we would stand in the east and face the west.

My wife set to work crafting makeshift candle holders from tin foil to secure the chime candles we had purchased specifically for this ritual. Traditionally, planetary candles are acquired individually on their respective days and hours, but given the short deadline we were working under, we had bought them together in a single pack on a Tuesday. Tuesday, the day of Mars. Another thread in the pattern—perhaps an explanation for the strong Mars energy we would soon encounter.

While she worked, I gathered what we had in the house to finalize our incense blends: mastic for Mercury, frankincense and cinnamon for the Sun, and cypress with patchouli for Saturn. As I measured the patchouli, an unexpected spill spread it across the kitchen counter. Almost immediately, my wife began to feel ill, the scent making her nauseous and lightheaded.

Despite this, we pressed on. I moved to cleanse the ritual space, anointing the area with thyme oil and hyssop oil. My wife approved of the thyme, but the hyssop triggered another wave of sickness. The energy in the room was shifting, and I couldn’t ignore the rising tension. Time was slipping away, and by now, we had to be at least an hour past sunset. Anxiety gnawed at me—were we missing our window?

Journal Entry: Jacob's Ladder Ritual – Friday, February 28, 2025, 7:00 PM

My wife abandoned her original plan of drawing the heptagram on the mirror. Instead, she felt an undeniable pull—compelled to create the heptagram directly on the floor. There was no questioning it; the energy guided her hands. This would be the foundation of our ritual space.

The candles would serve as the Sephirotic Tree itself, each placed with purpose to mirror the celestial alignments overhead. She began constructing the heptagram using red electric tape, methodically tracing its shape across the floor. But midway through, the roll ran out. Without hesitation, she reached for the only alternative we had—blue-green duct tape.

As the last lines connected, the unexpected contrast between the red and blue-green tape gave the star a strange dimensionality. A 2D shape had transformed into something else—something more. The heptagram seemed to shift before our eyes, as if vibrating between two realities. It was like looking at an old 3D movie without the glasses. The effect was unintentional, but it felt significant.

This was no longer just a diagram. It was alive.

JACOB'S LADDER RITUAL : USING THE FULL PLANETARY ALIGNMENT TO REACH DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE DEVINE.

Carefully constructed ritual, drawing from Kabbalistic, Hermetic, and Theurgical principles to harness the alignment as a direct gateway up the Tree of Life. We’ll ensure it aligns with planetary energies, intonations, sigils, sacred geometry, and invocation techniques to maximize the connection to Kether. (divine source) 

1. Purpose of the Ritual

This ritual is designed to use the rare seven-planet alignment as a "direct ladder" on the Tree of Life, opening an energetic pathway from Malkuth (Earthly reality) to Kether (Divine Consciousness). If performed correctly, it should thin the veil, facilitate divine communion, and potentially allow for a higher state of awareness or revelation.

2. Core Structure: The Middle Pillar as the Ladder

Since the planets correspond to the Sephiroth, we will use them as a ladder up the Middle Pillar, symbolizing ascension toward Kether.

Yesod (Moon) → Hod (Mercury) → Netzach (Venus) → Tiphareth (Sun) → Geburah (Mars) → Chesed (Jupiter) → Binah (Saturn) → Kether (Crown)

The ritual will move sequentially up this path, calling upon each planetary force in alignment, using intonations and vibrational sound frequencies that resonate with their energies.

3. Preparation: Tools & Symbols

A. Sacred Geometry: The Sigil of Alignment

A seven-pointed Heptagram (symbolizing planetary unity) should be used.

Inside it, place the Tree of Life diagram, aligning the planets in their respective Sephiroth.

B. Key Vibrations & Invocations

We will chant specific divine names associated with each Sephirah while moving up the Tree.

Planetary frequencies (Hz tones) will be incorporated to align with celestial vibrations.

Mantras, Enochian calls, or Hebrew Divine Names will be layered to amplify resonance.

C. Items Needed

Seven planetary candles (white for Kether, indigo or black for Saturn, blue for Jupiter, red for Mars, gold for the Sun, green for Venus, orange or purple for Mercury, silver for the Moon).

A chalice of water and a quartz crystal to represent the reflective gateway of Yesod.

Incense corresponding to each planetary force (these tend to vary from system to system. I will provide two classical lists and also mine) 

A mirror or black scrying bowl to act as a "reflection of the heavens".

4. The Ritual: The Ascent to Kether

Step 1: Opening the Gate

Begin in darkness. Light only the Moon candle (Yesod).

Chant the Name of God associated with Yesod: "Shaddai El Chai"

(Feel the connection to the subconscious and astral realms. The Moon reflects all things—this is the gateway.)

Gaze into the mirror/scrying bowl, visualizing the alignment of planets forming a glowing pathway above you.

Step 2: Planetary Ascension Up the Tree

For each step up the Tree, light the corresponding candle, chant the Divine Name, and intone the planetary vibration. (i will add a YouTube playlist link with all the planetary frequency so we can actually play the sound) 

Visualize ascending through the planetary spheres toward Kether.

(all tables and charts shown below) 

Each chant should be extended, vibrating through your whole body, allowing resonance to activate your consciousness.

Step 3: The Crown – Opening the Gate to Kether

When reaching Binah (Saturn), the final threshold before divine transcendence, pause and contemplate the abyssal void.

When ready, extinguish all candles except for Kether (white candle).

Speak the words “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh” (I Am That I Am)—the highest divine vibration.

Allow absolute silence. Let Kether reveal itself.

Step 4: Descent and Closing

Slowly reverse the process, grounding yourself by retracing back through the Sephiroth.

Extinguish candles in reverse order.

Close with the phrase: "So it is written, so it shall be."

5. Potential Outcomes

Heightened spiritual awareness or visions.

Astral projection experiences beyond normal limitations.

Deep personal revelations—possibly even direct communion with higher consciousness.

A temporary thinning of the veil, allowing access to the hidden knowledge of Kether.

This is a highly experimental ritual—but if the alignment acts as a direct ladder to the divine, then this structure should theoretically utilize it as a celestial gateway.

(the more advanced students may wish to incorporate sacred geometry yoga poses and Enochian calls or perhaps simplify the entire ritual down to the poses alone. So here is an additional part of this ritual below) 

 integrating sacred body postures corresponding to each Sephirah’s geometry and an Enochian Call would greatly enhance the ritual. The body becomes the living conduit of the Tree of Life, aligning physically with the celestial structure, while the Enochian vibrations further amplify the resonance.

Refining the Ritual: The Ascent to Kether

Enhancements:

1. Body Postures Aligned with the Sephiroth

Each step up the Tree will use a specific stance, forming a sacred geometric structure.

These poses should correspond to the sacred geometry of each planetary force. ( all poses and a description of how to form them are listed in full at the bottom along with the phonetic pronunciations of both Enochian calls and Devine names) 

2. Enochian Call for the Celestial Gate

We will integrate an Enochian invocation upon reaching Tiphareth (Solar Gateway) and Kether (Crown).

This call will be customized for opening the Celestial Ladder.

1. Sacred Geometry & Postures for Each Sephirah

Each body pose will activate the Sephiroth within, creating a resonance between the macrocosm (celestial alignment) and the microcosm (the magician’s body).

Each stance should be held for the duration of the Sephirah’s vibrational chant, ensuring full energetic embodiment.

2. The Enochian Call of the Celestial Ladder

We will integrate an Enochian Key upon reaching Tiphareth (the Solar Gateway) and another upon Kether (the Crown).

Tiphareth’s Enochian Call:

ZODACARE OD ZODAMERANU! O you shining ones of the Sun, open the Gate of Light, bring forth the Crown upon the Ladder of Heaven!"

Calls upon the Solar Gate, the Light of Divine Truth.

Activates the central axis of ascension.

Kether’s Enochian Call:

"LONSHI ZIRDO NOCO MAD, EHYEH ASHER EHYEH! Open the highest Gate, remove the veil of the One Light, as it was, as it is, as it shall be!"

Calls upon the First Aethyr, seeking direct divine contact.

Uses the Name of God in its most sacred utterance.

3. The Final Structure

1. Align with the Planets → Enter Postures → Vibrate Names → Activate Celestial Ladder

2. Enochian Call at Tiphareth → Solar Gate Opens

3. Sacred Gesture at Kether → Speak the Name → Enter Silence

Final Thoughts

By combining sacred geometry through the body, planetary alignment, vibrational resonance, and Enochian invocations, this ritual will function as a complete spiritual ascent system—a ladder from the material world into the Divine.

The Qliphothtic Church. 1

The fall of Kether

The Corruption of the Sephiroth into the Qliphoth:

This systematic erasure of the feminine divine didn’t just strip humanity of spiritual balance—it actively twisted sacred principles. Each Sephirah on the Tree of Life, representing divine attributes, was distorted into its Qliphothic shadow, reflecting spiritual decay. The Church, in its pursuit of power, embodies these corruptions.

Introduction to Kabbalah

Kabbalah is an ancient mystical tradition that seeks to understand the nature of the divine, the universe, and human consciousness. Rooted in Jewish esoteric thought, it presents a structured yet deeply symbolic view of reality, offering a map for spiritual ascent and self-realization.

At the core of Kabbalah is the Tree of Life (Etz Chaim), a diagram consisting of ten Sephirot (emanations) connected by twenty-two paths. These Sephirot represent different aspects of divine consciousness, from pure unity (Keter) to material existence (Malkuth). The Tree serves as a model of creation, the human soul, and the interconnected nature of all things.

However, Kabbalah also acknowledges the Qliphothic Tree, the shadow side of the Sephirot. Where the Tree of Life represents divine order and harmony, the Qliphoth embodies imbalance, fragmentation, and corruption—states of being where divine light is either absent or distorted. Mystically, the Qliphoth is not merely “evil” but rather a realm of spiritual challenges, representing forces that, if left unchecked, can lead to destruction rather than enlightenment.

Over time, various religious authorities, particularly the Church, have distorted or suppressed aspects of Kabbalistic knowledge, altering spiritual truths to maintain power. This chapter explores how one of the most profound concepts in Kabbalah—Keter, the crown of divine unity—was corrupted into Thaumiel, the realm of false duality.

With this foundational understanding, we now turn to the first and greatest corruption:

The Fall of Keter into Thaumiel.

1. Keter (Crown) → Thaumiel (Duality of God):

Keter represents unity with the divine, but the Church corrupted this into Thaumiel, the false duality—claiming to be the sole gatekeeper to God while condemning all other spiritual paths as heresy.

The transformation of Keter into Thaumiel represents the most fundamental corruption: the distortion of divine unity into an artificial duality. In its purest form, Keter symbolizes absolute oneness with the divine—an undivided, all-encompassing consciousness. However, the Church introduced a false dichotomy by inventing an adversary: Satan.

This invention was not merely the identification of an opposing force but the deliberate creation of a binary system in which God and Satan are framed as equal yet opposite powers. In doing so, the Church positioned itself as the sole mediator of divine will, claiming exclusive access to salvation while branding all alternative spiritual paths as demonic.

Originally, the concept of Satan in Hebrew tradition was not a singular, malevolent entity but a role—ha-Satan, meaning “the accuser” or “adversary,” often acting as a tester of faith rather than an independent cosmic evil. It was only later, through the influence of Zoroastrian dualism and the Church’s consolidation of power, that Satan was transformed into the ultimate enemy, a being of nearly equal stature to God but entirely opposed in nature.

This manufactured duality served multiple purposes: it created fear-based control, justified inquisitions and persecution, and ensured that spiritual authority remained centralized. By corrupting the unity of Keter into the warring factions of Thaumiel, the Church replaced divine enlightenment with submission, replacing direct communion with God with a rigid hierarchy where it alone dictated the boundaries of good and evil.

It's not surprising then to find that Satan is the associated demonic archetype of Thaumiel.

Just as Metatron is the archetype of Keter, representing divine unity and the bridge between humanity and the infinite, Satan—or rather, the Church’s fabricated version of Satan—becomes the archetype of Thaumiel, embodying the false duality that divides rather than unites.

Metatron, often called the "Lesser YHVH," serves as the divine voice and intermediary, guiding souls toward enlightenment and unity with the Source. In Kabbalah, he is the highest angel, embodying a pure, unbroken connection to the divine. Keter, as the crown of the Tree of Life, represents the state of absolute oneness—beyond duality, beyond division.

However, when the Church corrupted this concept, they needed an opposing force, a counterbalance to their own claim of divine authority. By twisting the nature of spiritual opposition, they personified Thaumiel—the Qliphothic shell of Keter—as Satan, no longer a tester or adversary in the sense of refinement but a wholly independent being of evil. This artificial dualism turned spiritual enlightenment into a battlefield, where the only “right” path was submission to the Church.

Thaumiel means "Twins of God," which itself is an irony—it suggests a fragmented divinity, a divided power. The Church’s invention of Satan as an eternal, nearly equal rival to God reflects this split. Rather than allowing seekers to experience divine unity, they forced them into a binary choice: obedience or damnation, heaven or hell, God or Satan. This ideological split is the very essence of Thaumiel—the illusion that divinity is not one but two warring forces, a lie designed to keep power in the hands of religious institutions.

By corrupting Keter into Thaumiel, the Church replaced enlightenment with fear, turning what should have been an open path to unity into a rigid, controlled structure where they alone dictated who could reach the divine.

But one of the deepest ironies of the Church’s constructed duality is that the very God they claim to worship—the authoritarian, wrathful ruler who demands obedience and punishes rebellion—aligns far more with their own version of Satan than with the true, ineffable divine unity of Keter.

Biblical Passages That Reveal This Truth

1. Isaiah 45:7 – “I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

This passage explicitly states that Yahweh is responsible for both good and evil. This contradicts the Church’s dualistic narrative, where God is purely good and Satan is purely evil. Instead, it aligns with the idea that the same being they worship is also the source of what they fear.

2. 2 Samuel 24:1 vs. 1 Chronicles 21:1

In 2 Samuel 24:1, it says: “And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them to say, ‘Go, number Israel and Judah.’”

However, in 1 Chronicles 21:1, the same event is described differently: “And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.”

This passage suggests an interchangeability between Yahweh and Satan, implying that what later became “Satan” was originally an aspect of Yahweh himself.

3. John 8:44 – “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Jesus here condemns the religious authorities of his time, essentially accusing them of following a false god—a god of lies and murder. This could be interpreted as a veiled acknowledgment that the oppressive, authoritarian deity they serve is not the true divine unity but a corrupted, demiurgic force.

4. Hosea 13:4,9,11 – “Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me... O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help... I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.”

Yahweh admits that he gave kingship out of anger, implying that his rule is one of wrath and destruction rather than enlightenment and peace. This aligns with the traits the Church attributes to Satan—anger, destruction, control.

The Demiurge as the True Satan

What we see here is a clear case of theological inversion. The controlling, vengeful, jealous deity of the Old Testament—who demands blood sacrifice, establishes rigid laws, and punishes disobedience—bears all the hallmarks of what the Church claims to be the Devil. Meanwhile, the true divine unity, which encourages enlightenment, self-discovery, and balance, is buried under layers of dogma.

This aligns with the Gnostic idea that Yahweh is actually Yaldabaoth, the blind and arrogant Demiurge who falsely believes himself to be the supreme God. The Church, by enforcing the worship of this being while projecting its worst aspects onto a fabricated Satan, ensures that people unknowingly bow to the very force they fear.

The corruption of Keter into Thaumiel is complete: instead of seeing the divine as one, the Church split it into a tyrannical god and a rebel adversary—yet their god is the very adversary they preach against. This ultimate deception keeps humanity in bondage, forever fearing the very deity they serve.

"The Forgotten Mother: How Erasing the Divine Feminine Corrupted Spiritual Truths and Empowered Patriarchy"

The Suppression of the Divine Feminine:

I remember when they tore down her image. The Asherah pole stood tall beside Yahweh’s altar, a symbol of the divine mother’s nurturing presence. But Josiah’s men came with fire and iron, hacking it to splinters. They said she was an abomination, that Yahweh alone should be worshipped. But we knew better. The mothers whispered her name in secret, praying for fertility and protection. They could burn her symbols, but they couldn’t erase her from our hearts.

— A witness to King Josiah's reforms, 2 Kings 23:6

I was a priestess of Astarte. We danced under the moon, honoring the goddess of love and war. But then the men came, calling her a harlot, twisting her name into a curse. They said her temples were dens of sin, that our rites were wicked. They turned the goddess into a demon, erasing her from the heavens and casting her into hell. Our power was stolen, our voices silenced. But the goddess still lives in the blood of every woman who remembers.

— A priestess reflecting on the demonization of Astarte. 

Sophia’s wisdom flowed through us, guiding us toward the light. But when the Church fathers gathered their councils, they cast her aside. They called heretical the Gospels that spoke of her—Pistis Sophia, The Sophia of Jesus Christ. They said wisdom belonged to men alone, that divine truth must come through their hands. They feared the light she offered because it made their authority fragile. So they buried her words beneath the weight of their dogma.

— A Gnostic teacher witnessing the suppression of Sophia in early Christianity

I was given to him like a goat or a piece of land. My father struck the deal, and I was his prize. “Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you,” they said. I had no voice, no choice. The scriptures made it law: Exodus 20 lists me as property in the same breath as oxen and donkeys. They cloaked my chains in holy words.

— A woman reflecting on her role under the laws of Exodus 20:17 and Genesis 3:16

I heard the words from the pulpit: “Let your women keep silent in the churches, for it is not permitted unto them to speak.” My heart burned, but my lips stayed shut. They said I was born from man’s rib, destined to serve and obey. Paul’s letters—Corinthians, Timothy—became my shackles. The men claimed divine order, but I knew it was fear. Fear of the power they couldn’t control.

— A Christian woman silenced by Pauline doctrine, referencing 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12

When he took me as his fourth wife, I knew my fate. The Qur'an allowed it, as long as he treated us “fairly,” but fairness meant nothing. My worth was measured in obedience, my defiance punished by law. “Men are in charge of women,” they said, and Surah An-Nisa sealed my fate. I was his possession, veiled and hidden, my voice lost beneath layers of scripture.

— A woman reflecting on her subjugation under Islamic law, referencing Surah An-Nisa 4:34

While the narratives above are a work of fiction,  the events and doctrines mentioned are historically documented. 

Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. Asherah Suppression:

Historical Fact: The Bible records King Josiah’s reforms in 2 Kings 23:6, where Asherah poles were destroyed to consolidate monotheistic worship of Yahweh. Archaeological finds, like inscriptions from Kuntillet Ajrud, mention “Yahweh and his Asherah.”

2. Demonization of Astarte:

Historical Fact: Archaeological evidence includes the discovery of nude female figurines in ancient Israelite sites. These figurines, often associated with goddesses like Astarte. 

Additionally, in the biblical narrative, king Solomon introduced the worship of the Phoenician goddess Astarte, referred to as "Ashtoreth" (Ashera) in the Masoretic text. 

3. Suppression of Sophia in Gnosticism:

Historical Fact: Sophia is central in Gnostic texts like Pistis Sophia and The Sophia of Jesus Christ, which were removed and banned as heretical after the Council of Nicaea (325 CE) and other early Church councils that defined orthodoxy.

4. Women as Property in the Bible:

 Exodus 20:17 lists a neighbor’s wife among possessions like a house, servants, and livestock. Genesis 3:16 establishes the hierarchical relationship post-Eden.

5. Pauline Suppression of Women:

 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12 explicitly instruct women to remain silent and subordinate in church, influencing Christian gender roles for centuries.

6. Islamic Suppression of Women:

 Surah An-Nisa 4:34 outlines male authority over women, permitting men to discipline their wives. The Qur'an allows up to four wives if treated justly, though interpretations and implementations vary widely across cultures and history.

The removal of goddesses like Asherah, Sophia, and Shekinah from spiritual traditions wasn’t accidental—it was systematic. Archaeological evidence, such as inscriptions from Kuntillet Ajrud in ancient Israel, shows early Hebrews worshipped Yahweh and his Asherah. Yet, over time, Asherah was erased from sacred texts, her presence scrubbed from worship as monotheism took root. The Deuteronomistic reforms under King Josiah (2 Kings 23) describe the destruction of Asherah poles and temples, further evidence of the active removal of the goddess from public worship.

Similarly, Sophia, the embodiment of divine wisdom, is central in Gnostic texts like The Sophia of Jesus Christ and Pistis Sophia, but these were labeled heretical by the early Church and excluded from the canonical Bible. In mainstream Christianity, the divine feminine became fragmented or wholly absent, replaced by male-centric doctrines. Even the Shekinah, a feminine presence representing divine immanence in the world, was relegated to the fringes of mystical Kabbalistic thought rather than mainstream theology.

Despite this suppression, echoes of the divine feminine persist, particularly in Kabbalah. The Shekinah is still recognized as the feminine aspect of God’s presence, dwelling within Malkuth, the Sephirah representing the material world. But this divine connection was corrupted by the Church’s focus on material domination, wealth accumulation, and earthly power rather than spiritual enlightenment.

In part two of this chapter we will discuss how the corruption of this Devine connection is apparent within the church and manifest itself on each one of the Qliphoth.

THE ORIGIN OF AN ARCHETYPE 

Yahweh’s Origins in the Canaanite Pantheon

The earliest roots of Yahweh suggest that he was originally part of a broader Canaanite pantheon, where he was associated as a son of El, the chief god, and possibly identified with or influenced by Ba'al Hadad, the storm and fertility god. Far from being the sole deity of ancient Israel, Yahweh appears to have risen to prominence through a gradual process of religious evolution and consolidation.

1. Yahweh as a Son of El

In the ancient Canaanite religious structure, El was the supreme deity, referred to as the "Father of the Gods." Evidence suggests that Yahweh was initially seen as one of El’s divine offspring, a regional or tribal deity who later became the central focus of Israelite worship.

Evidence:

Deuteronomy 32:8-9: The Masoretic text states, "When the Most High [El Elyon] apportioned the nations, He divided humankind... Yahweh's portion is his people." This passage implies that Yahweh inherited Israel as part of a divine council presided over by El.

The term El Shaddai (often translated as "God Almighty") may also reflect a transitional phase where Yahweh was merged with the attributes of El.

2. Possible Synonymity with Ba'al Hadad

Ba'al Hadad, the Canaanite storm god, shares striking similarities with Yahweh in early depictions, including associations with storms, thunder, and fertility.

Evidence:

Both Yahweh and Ba'al are described as riding on clouds (e.g., Psalm 68:4, which calls Yahweh the "Rider on the Clouds," a title also given to Ba'al in Ugaritic texts).

Archaeological findings, such as inscriptions from Kuntillet Ajrud, mention Yahweh alongside "his Asherah," suggesting a connection to the goddess Asherah, who was also linked to Ba'al worship.

3. Polytheism in Early Hebrew Scriptures

The earliest Hebrew texts reflect a polytheistic worldview, with references to other gods and the divine council. Over time, these texts were edited to align with a monotheistic theology, but traces of polytheism remain.

Evidence:

Psalm 82: This psalm depicts a divine council where God (El or Yahweh) presides among other deities, judging them. "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment."

The commandment "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3) implicitly acknowledges the existence of other gods, suggesting that Yahweh was to be worshipped exclusively, not alone.

Names like Elohim (a plural term for "gods") were later interpreted as singular in a monotheistic context but originally reflected a pantheon.

4. Consolidation into Monotheism

The transition from polytheism to monotheism appears to have been driven by political and social factors, particularly during and after the Babylonian exile.

The Deuteronomistic reforms under King Josiah (7th century BCE) sought to centralize worship in Jerusalem and erase competing religious practices. This included the destruction of high places and Asherah poles.

The exile provided a theological crisis that led to the codification of Yahweh as the singular, omnipotent God.

Conclusion

The evidence points to a complex evolution of Yahweh’s role, from a regional deity within a polytheistic framework to the monotheistic God of Israel. This shift was not just theological but also political, aligning religious identity with national unity. Recognizing these origins challenges traditional narratives and opens the door to a deeper understanding of how religious truths were shaped—and sometimes suppressed—to serve institutional power.

From Horned Gods to Sky Fathers: The Evolution of Divine Archetypes

Long before the rise of Bronze Age deities like Yahweh, Ba'al, Zeus, and Odin—the archetypal "sky fathers" associated with storms and authority—Neolithic mythologies centered around a very different divine figure: the horned fertility god. This archetype, representing virility, nature, and the cyclical rhythms of life, was deeply intertwined with the earth goddess, symbolizing the balance of masculine and feminine energies. Over time, this primordial fertility god evolved into the storm-wielding patriarchs of the Bronze Age, reflecting a shift from earth-centered spirituality to a more hierarchical, sky-dominant religious structure.

Ba'al and the Horned God Archetype

Ba'al Hadad, the Canaanite storm and fertility god, embodies this transitional archetype. While known primarily for his dominion over storms and rain, Ba'al was also symbolically tied to fertility and often depicted with bull imagery—a clear link to the ancient horned god. Bulls, with their strength and virility, were revered as symbols of power and fertility in Neolithic cultures, and this symbolism carried over into Ba'al’s representation.

Evidence of Fertility Symbolism: Ugaritic texts describe Ba'al’s battles with the sea god Yam and the death god Mot, symbolizing the cycles of nature—fertility, drought, death, and rebirth. His victory over these forces ensures the fertility of the land, much like the earlier horned gods who presided over agricultural cycles.

The Tree of Life and the Balance of Archetypes

The evolution of these archetypes is mirrored in the structure of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Chokhmah, the first masculine expression of consciousness, represents not just wisdom but also the raw, creative force of fertility—the seed from which all life emerges. Binah, the cosmic mother, embodies the womb that receives and nurtures this creative force, shaping it into form. Together, they reflect the primordial balance of masculine and feminine energies that is foundational to existence.

Chessed and Geburah: This balance continues in the next set of Sephiroth—Chessed (mercy and expansion) and Geburah (severity and restraint). The merciful "All-Father," often depicted as a benevolent ruler or lawgiver, reflects Chessed, while Geburah embodies the divine force of discipline and justice. These archetypes are not inherently good or evil; they represent the necessary dualities that govern the universe.

The Removal of the Divine Feminine and the Corruption of the Archetype

However, as patriarchal religions solidified their power—particularly through the influence of institutions like the Church—the divine feminine was systematically erased from spiritual narratives. The goddess, once a co-equal counterpart to the god, was either diminished, demonized, or entirely removed. This unbalanced the archetypal framework, distorting the original harmony reflected in the Tree of Life.

The Beginning of Corruption: The removal of the divine feminine didn’t just suppress goddess worship; it fundamentally altered the nature of the masculine archetype itself. Without its balancing counterpart, the merciful All-Father became the authoritarian Demiurge, enforcing rigid laws without compassion. This corruption is mirrored in the transformation of the Sephiroth into the Qliphoth—the shadow side of the Tree of Life. The very forces that once guided humanity toward balance and enlightenment were twisted into tools of oppression and control.

A Preview of What’s to Come

In the next chapter, we will explore how this removal of the divine feminine set the stage for the widespread spiritual corruption seen throughout history. The Church's deliberate suppression of the goddess archetype not only severed humanity from a vital aspect of its collective consciousness but also paved the way for the distortion of spiritual truths. We will examine how this imbalance manifests within the Qliphoth, turning divine principles into their corrupted counterparts, and how reclaiming these suppressed archetypes is essential for restoring spiritual harmony.

The Corruption of the All-Father Archetype: From Creator to Demiurge

Across cultures and mythologies, the image of the All-Father emerges as a dominant archetype—a powerful sky god who rules from above, often associated with storms, thunder, and divine authority. Zeus, Odin, Yahweh, Ba’al, and other deities share strikingly similar characteristics, embodying creation, kingship, and law. However, over time, this archetype has been twisted, shifting from a benevolent father figure into an oppressive force of control. In its most extreme form, this authoritarian version of the divine becomes the Demiurge—the false god of Gnostic tradition, a being more aligned with Satan than with the true source of divinity.

1. The Storm God Archetype

The All-Father is typically depicted as a sky god who wields power over storms and the forces of nature. His role as a ruler over both gods and humanity reflects his position as the lawgiver and judge.

Zeus reigns over Olympus, wielding thunderbolts as symbols of divine justice.

Odin is the all-seeing patriarch of the Norse pantheon, associated with wisdom but also with war and control.

Ba’al Hadad was the Canaanite storm god, honored as both a fertility and warrior deity.

Yahweh, in early biblical texts, mirrors Ba’al as a storm-wielding deity who commands obedience and punishes defiance.

Despite their differences, these gods share a common foundation: they represent order, power, and the intermediary between humanity and the ultimate divine source.(1)

 However, as religious structures centralized power, this archetype was altered to serve an authoritarian agenda.

2. The Transformation into the Demiurge

In Gnostic thought, the creator god of the material world is not the true, benevolent source of divinity but rather a corrupt and jealous entity known as Yaldabaoth (or Ialdabaoth). This false god, believing itself to be supreme, traps human souls in the physical realm, enforcing blind obedience and ignorance.

Yaldabaoth’s defining traits—pride, wrath, and an obsession with dominance—mirror the characteristics of the jealous, punishing Yahweh of the Old Testament.

The Gnostic Apocryphon of John describes Yaldabaoth as a "lion-faced serpent" who declares, “I am a jealous god, and there is none besides me,” not realizing he is only a fragment of a greater reality.

This echoes Exodus 20:5, where Yahweh proclaims, “I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God.”

Rather than being the ultimate divine force, this figure represents the imprisonment of humanity within a false reality—a corrupted version of the All-Father archetype, designed to maintain control rather than grant enlightenment.

3. The True Satan: A Deception of Authority

If the Demiurge is a god who demands blind obedience, punishes knowledge, and seeks to keep humanity subjugated, then the very figure many worship as the ultimate deity may, in truth, be the adversary of spiritual awakening. This would mean that what mainstream religion calls “God” may actually be the true Satan—not in the sense of the Christian devil, but as the great deceiver who keeps humanity in spiritual bondage.

The biblical serpent in Eden, often demonized as Satan, is the one who offers knowledge (gnosis), while Yahweh is the one who forbids it, reflecting a reversal of roles.

In Gnostic tradition, Sophia, the divine wisdom,(2). seeks to free humanity from the Demiurge’s control, much like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods to grant humanity knowledge.

Figures like Lucifer, originally a bearer of light, may represent the impulse toward self-awareness and liberation rather than evil.(3)

This inversion of divine roles exposes how institutional religion has used the corrupted All-Father archetype to justify control, suppress mystical truth, and prevent individuals from realizing their own divine potential.

Conclusion: Reclaiming the True Divine

The All-Father, in his original form,(4) represents wisdom, creation, and the flow of divine energy into the world. But through manipulation, this figure was twisted into the Demiurge—a being who demands servitude rather than enlightenment. The true divine force is not an external ruler but exists within every individual. The suppressed mystical traditions, from Kabbalah to Hermeticism, provide the keys to breaking free from the Demiurge’s illusion and reclaiming our role as co-creators of reality.

The weapons we need. Because the church is using archetype magick too.

2.The feminine or better said Creative principle of manifestation. The Sepheroth of Binah 

3.The Lucifer Archtype serves as a primary Archetype in the TSS system of magick. The Sepheroth of Tiphereth. 

4.By refusing the wisdom of Sophia and denying the feminine principle the chance of creation the vital first energy of thought is wasted and stagnates. No longer linked to the higher mind it becomes Ego instead. This begins the corruption process that creates the shadows of each Sepheroth  known as the Qliphoth. We will discuss this in further detail during chapter five.

The Church’s Hidden Knowledge of Mystical Truths

From its earliest days, the institutional Church has positioned itself as the gatekeeper of divine knowledge. While the public face of Christianity emphasized strict doctrines and obedience, the esoteric traditions reveal a different story—a hidden layer of mystical truths that were preserved by select initiates but kept from the masses.

Evidence of this duality is found in the Gnostic texts, early Christian mystical traditions, and the writings of Church Fathers, some of whom were deeply influenced by Hellenistic philosophy, Hermeticism, and Jewish mysticism. Yet, as the Church consolidated power, these esoteric teachings were condemned as heretical, their practitioners persecuted, and their wisdom hidden from public view.

1. The Gnostic Connection

The Gnostics, an early Christian sect, taught that salvation came through direct knowledge (gnosis) of the divine within. They emphasized personal spiritual enlightenment over external rituals, a teaching strikingly similar to Kabbalistic principles.

Evidence:

The Nag Hammadi texts, discovered in 1945, reveal a profound mystical understanding of creation and the human soul's journey back to unity with the divine.

The Gnostic concept of the pleroma (fullness) parallels Kabbalah's Ein Sof, the infinite source.

The Church denounced the Gnostics as heretics, banning their texts and systematically erasing their influence. This suppression served to centralize spiritual authority within the Church hierarchy.

2. Hermetic and Kabbalistic Influences

During the early centuries, Christian theology absorbed elements of Platonic and Hermetic thought, both of which align with Kabbalistic ideas.

Evidence:

The writings of figures like Origen and Augustine contain echoes of these mystical philosophies. For example, Augustine's idea of the "divine spark" in every soul resonates with Kabbalistic teachings about the soul's connection to the divine.

The Renaissance saw a revival of Hermetic and Kabbalistic studies among Christian mystics like Pico della Mirandola, who believed these traditions complemented Christian theology.

However, these traditions were marginalized or hidden, their truths reserved for an elite few while the masses were taught simpler, dogmatic versions of faith.

3. The Role of Ritual and Symbolism

Church rituals, sacraments, and architecture often reflect deeper mystical truths that align with Kabbalistic principles.

Evidence:

The use of sacred geometry in cathedrals mirrors the Sephirot’s structure, symbolizing the flow of divine energy into the material world.

The concept of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) can be viewed as a simplified version of the upper triad of the Sephirot (Kether, Chokmah, Binah).

The Eucharist ritual symbolizes the unification of the divine and the material, a concept central to Hermetic and Kabbalistic practices.

4. Suppression as a Means of Control

By limiting access to mystical teachings and framing them as dangerous or heretical, the Church maintained its authority over the spiritual lives of its followers.

The Council of Nicaea (325 CE) established a rigid orthodoxy, excluding alternative interpretations of Christianity.

The Inquisition actively targeted mystics, alchemists, and Kabbalists, ensuring that esoteric knowledge remained hidden.

Conclusion

The Church’s efforts to suppress mystical truths were not merely about theology but about power—controlling the narrative and ensuring that spiritual authority remained centralized. Yet, despite these efforts, the wisdom of traditions like Kabbalah and Hermeticism has persisted, waiting to be rediscovered by those ready to embrace their divine potential.

Point Zero: The Infinite Source of All Creation

In the vastness of the cosmos, there exists a place where all things are one—a state beyond time, space, and form. This is "Point Zero," the infinite potential from which all creation arises. It is the spark of divinity within us and the boundless void that holds the essence of all that was, is, and will be.

The mystical tradition of Kabbalah provides a roadmap for understanding this divine source and the process of manifestation. Through the Tree of Life and the ten Sephirot, we can trace the journey of consciousness as it flows from Point Zero, represented by the infinite Ein Sof, into the material world. But this is not merely a cosmological process; it is deeply personal.

Each Sephirah corresponds to an aspect of the human psyche and reflects archetypes—divine patterns embodied by gods, angels, and even demons. Together, they form a blueprint for both the cosmos and the soul, showing us how we, as creators, participate in the unfolding of reality.

The Sephirot: Bridges Between the Divine and the Human

The Sephirot are more than abstract emanations of the divine; they are mirrors of our innermost being. Each represents a dimension of consciousness and a tool for creation:

1. Kether (Crown): The divine spark of pure consciousness, representing unity and limitless potential. Within us, it is the unmanifested will—the seed of all ideas and the gateway to inspiration.

2. Chokmah (Wisdom): The active force of creation, the archetypal "father." It symbolizes divine impulse and is reflected in the human psyche as intuition and primal energy.

3. Binah (Understanding): The archetypal "mother," providing structure and form. It governs reason, discipline, and the ability to manifest ideas.

4. Chesed (Mercy): The expansive force of love, kindness, and generosity. Chesed represents abundance and the unrestrained flow of divine energy. In the human psyche, it is the urge to give, nurture, and create harmony.

5. Geburah (Severity): The counterbalance to Chesed, representing discipline, judgment, and boundaries. It teaches us the power of restraint and the importance of strength and courage in overcoming challenges.

6. Tiphereth (Beauty): The harmonious union of Chesed and Geburah, embodying balance, compassion, and the pursuit of truth. Tiphereth reflects the higher self and the ability to see beauty in the interconnectedness of all things.

7. Netzach (Victory): The force of passion, desire, and emotional drive. Netzach governs creativity, perseverance, and the ability to overcome obstacles through willpower and dedication.

8. Hod (Glory): The realm of intellect, communication, and order. Hod represents logic, analysis, and the capacity to organize and articulate ideas. It balances Netzach's emotional drive with mental clarity.

9. Yesod (Foundation): The bridge between the spiritual and the physical realms, Yesod governs imagination, dreams, and the subconscious. It is the foundation upon which the material world (Malkuth) is built and the gateway for manifesting intentions.

10. Malkuth (Kingdom): The final Sephirah, representing the material world and physical reality. Malkuth is the culmination of the divine process, where spiritual energy is grounded and made tangible. It reminds us of our role as creators, capable of manifesting divine will in the world.

Archetypes and Rituals: Unlocking Our Divine Potential

The gods, angels, and demons described in mystical traditions are not separate beings but archetypal forces within the collective unconscious. These energies reside in the Sephirot, each embodying specific traits and powers. For example:

Archangels represent divine aspects, guiding us to align with higher frequencies.

Demons, often misunderstood, symbolize shadow aspects of the psyche, challenges to overcome, or untapped potential.

Rituals such as those practiced by the Golden Dawn or Hermetic traditions work by invoking these archetypes, aligning the practitioner’s psyche with cosmic energies. Through visualization, symbols, and intention, we engage in a sacred dialogue between the conscious and subconscious mind, transforming internal and external realities alike.

By understanding these principles, we realize a profound truth: we are not separate from the divine but are co-creators of existence itself. The rituals are tools to awaken this understanding, allowing us to harness the creative power that flows through the Sephirot and within ourselves.
