Crossroads, by the author.
The author of this his
book combined his research and personal practice, developing a new method of
work with the Shem Ha Mephorash Angels. He has constructed a Qliphoth of
Baphomet which collects, corrects and updates commonly circulating data to
streamline its function as a graphical transmitter of energy from a larger system
of witchcraft which will be treated more extensively in a future publication.
The Shem ha Mephorash or
Explicit Name is a 216 character secret name of the creation consisting of list
of 72 angels, whose names are derived from the from the Hebrew letters in
Exodus 14:19-21 (Chapter 14, verses 19 to 21), The Book of Exodus is part of
the Hebrew Tanakh (Christian Old Testament). The verses 19 to 21 in the
original Hebrew have 72 letters each.
Each Shem Ha Mephorash
angel has a three Hebrew letter name, which is ending with the suffix El or
IAH.
Each Shem Ha Mephorash
angel has a Sephirotic form with connection with the Tree of Life and also has
a shell/ Qliphothic forms with links it to the Tree of Death.
The author also proposes
a change concerning some Qliphoths denominations, his thesis is that the
“Qliphoth are imbalanced bastardised shadow emanations from the Sephitoth” and
that they are not what they seem, as per their constant distorted movement.
The author provides
three methods of accessing these Angels, one example case, and the description
of the Tools that are useful, which the reader might want to use during the
Rituals. On the appendices there are many tables of correspondences resultant
from his research of various calendars from the mystical schools of cultures
around the world, the information presented was decrypted and mined from dozens
of ancient Grimoires and books of astrology in the Western occult tradition.
To facilitate the
understanding of the ideas conveyed in his book, the author provides
definitions for most of the words and terms he uses throughout this volume,
inclusive for the Shem Ha Mephorash Angel pages.
This should be an
interesting book, in a way of promoting more thirst for Knowledge,
inciting people who study or practice
Goetic magick, Vampiric Sorcery, Necromancy,
Black Magick, Conjuration, Traditional witchcraft, Luciferianism and
Satanism, to go deeper in their research for the understanding of the energy
currents and how they relate to each other. For more information, see his
upcoming Grimoire Liber Sethur.
