To: usenet Date: Thu, 11 Apr 1996 20:34:37 -0700 Subject: Khephera: Sigillvm Dei Amaeth (Enochia) From: (ny'rl'toth'p) kaliyuga 49960411 11th moonday; day of magick in email, Khephera%363-263-777@satlink.oau.org (Khephera): [in a beautiful exposition on the derivation of the various spiritnames!] |...the Seven Names of God that even the Angels hardly know. |>...Lots of crosses and what seem to be Latin and/or Greek words, |>likely names of Horrid Energies. :> |Oh, not at all. :) I'll give you the secret to unlocking those names, |you will be pleasently surprised (especially if you know any Qabalah). A little qabalah, so I recognize some of these names (very clever!) |[ArchAngels of the Plenets and Sephiroth:] "The Seven who Stand Before God" |[Angels of the Planets:] "Seven Names of God that even the Angels hardly know" | ...the Hebrew Names of the Planets with "el" added on the end. Also notice | that these are the same Names to be found around the Pentagram in the | center of the Seal. Thus it appears to be a kind of mandalesque Seal, this Sigilvm Dei Aemeth, a group of Guardians around the outside, Archangels and Angels forming the major structure of the geometric figures, progeny of these scattered in geometric design throughout the graphic in regular radial symmetry. When I look into the center of the Sigilvm I notice that there is an awkward placement of a 'Z' alongside the left of the pentacle's upward point. As there is no indication of an 'S' for Sabathiel's name, are we to presume this a glitch in the works or is there some method to it? Could such character features (flaws?) influence the value of the working? |...I feel [your attributions] to be more "correct" [for your Seal] than the |Dee (and Golden Dawn) association. How favored is Dee's work within the Golden Dawn community? <<<<<<<<<<< I'm attempting a rational analysis of the Sigillvm below (see how you like it): ::circle begins:: __________________________________________________ 1:7 Guardians of the Seal [7 Names of God?] |...some of the letters are Capitol. The first capitol letter (on the top, |slightly to the right) is a G with a 9 over it. With these, you start at |a capitol- count to the right if the number is over the letter, and then |left if the number is under the letter (of course, you count as many |spaces as the number)- and finally stop when you hit a letter without a |number over or under it. Khephera%363-263-777@satlink.oau.org (Khephera) __________________________________________________ 2:G A L E T H OG; counter-clockwise, starting at G of top point, outside the heptagon. ///heptagon begins\\\\ 3:7 ArchAngels (of the Planets and Sephiroth; 3-9) "The Seven who Stand Before God"; first on list: Zaphkiel; encyphered, first letters clock-wise, starting with the Z in ZllRHia, the a in aZCaacb, etc. __________________________________________________ 4:7 Angels of the Planets - "7 Names of God that even the Angels hardly know"; (L89 in Gems has "7 Names of God which not even the Angels are ableto pronounce); these be in the following formation: 1 S A A IEL E M EL 2 B T Z K A S EL 3 H E I D E N E 4 D E I M O L A 5 L M E G C B E 6 I L A O IEL V N 7 I H R L A A IEL ##heptagram begins## 5: 7 Daughters [heptagram point-internals; in 4 above beginning top right (E/EL); (E, Me, Ese, Iana, Akele, Azdobn, Stimcul)] __________________________________________________ 6: 7 Sons of Light [heptagram cross-beams; in 4 above beginning lower left (I/IEL); (I, Heeoa, Ih, Beigia, Ilr, Stimcul, Dmul) NOTE: *Regardie*'s Chanokh (Gems) and Khephera: |I |Ih |Ilr |Dmal |Heeoa |Beigia |Stimcvl WHY?] __________________________________________________ 7: 7 Daughters of the Daughters [first interior heptagon; in 4 beginning upper left (S); (S, Ab, Ath, Ized, Ekiei, Madimi, Esemeli)] __________________________________________________ 8: 7 Sons of the Sons [second interior heptagon; in 4 beginning lower left (L/IEL); (El, An*, Aue, Liba, Iocle, Hagonel, Ilemese)] (NOTE: * Regardie has 'Aw' and 'Ave' here, strangely.)] __________________________________________________ 9: 7 Great Angels of the 7 Circles of Heaven [constructed using 4, beginning upper left (S); Sabathiel, Zedekiel, Madimiel, etc., which are resident within the center pentagram as ZABATHIEL, ZEDEKIEL, MADIMIEL, SEMELIEL, NOGANIEL and CORABIEL, each first letter the major letter of the pentagram; the last, LEVANAEL, constructing a cross at the center, LE at left, VA at top, NA on right and EL on bottom.] ++++CENTER CROSS+++++ __________________________________________________ My main interest is in examining the cosmology out of which this sigil proceeds. Are these Angels and Archangels seen as protectors of the Enochian magician? When you speak of 'Daughters' and 'Sons', are you referring to a cosmology which includes renegade angels propagating their seed unto the human hordes like cattle or pets, teaching them the ways of the occult and making possible the return to God's plane? |...Seven Seats of Power .... |[re: Seven Seats of Power] (again, planetary). To what do these Seats relate? Who sits in them? [re: name of God with 7 letters] |...G A L E T H OG or Galethog. |We don't know which letters are which planets. Why aren't the letters directly associated with the Angels of the Planets as rendered within the Sigillvm? Is there any relation to this and other popular names of God/Satan like 'shemhamphorasch'? Or should Enochian be considered entirely removed from other systems of divination/communication/ summoning? Where does the term 'Galethog' come from? What language has 'og' as one letter? Enochian? [re: circumference letters] |...one Name is Galethog. As far as I know, this Name (though spelled |the same) is not otherwise related to the Name of God with Seven Seats of |Power. What does this title mean: God with Seven Seats of Power? |...mistake of assigning each of the seven letters of Galethog (each letter |with a Cross added) to the Guardians as Their Sigils. How can you be sure it is an error? |This is incorrect, however. Those Seven Letters with Crosses stand on their |own and are not related to the Seven Guardians. Is this derived from your own experience, reference to Dee or other authors, consultations with other authorities, or guesswork on your part? |Blessed Be, may Yahweh and His Asherah guide and keep thee, Wonderful. Are you a devotee of both of these gods? What did you think of the book _Snow Crash_? Was its Babylonian and pre-Christian conjecture consistent with modern historical exegesis and heuristics? tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com ny'rl'toth'p ------------ cc'd to Usenet
