The birth of Dionysus

June 8, 2025September 16, 2025 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

The Zelator, in this narrative, will encounter many signs that can help clarify his program, serving as both a source of motivation and a guiding beacon. A very important element is the indication of Dionysus’ dual birth—from his mother, as much as from Zeus.

Free pdf – “777 and other Qabalistic writings” by Aleister Crowley

April 14, 2024April 14, 2024 ~ Frater 273 ~ 1 Comment

For those interested, I've meticulously crafted tables from 777 along with all accompanying text in a completely revamped format. You can download the PDF entirely free of charge:

The legend of Augeas

January 6, 2021January 6, 2021 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

At the stage metaphorically implied by this story, the Aspirant is the antagonist; he does not stand for the light or have a path to redemption. Yet, he still possesses the thread that Ariadne cunningly left to Theseus – a mechanism that helps to undo his knot.

Magical Retreat

December 21, 2020December 21, 2020 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

Every magical retreat is a true reflection of the Aspirant’s inventiveness and courage. Yet, it is not whether he will have the courage to implement it or not – it is something completely different, the courage to construct the whole work for himself.

The Holy Guardian Angel

December 8, 2020August 30, 2022 ~ Frater 273 ~ 2 Comments

The Angel is not in you, above you, or inside you. He is precisely in this transmission, in that state between, he arises a moment after the perception of each of these letters, coming out as formed and embodied knowledge.

The appearance of a Shadow inside a Lucid dream

November 29, 2020January 14, 2024 ~ Frater 273 ~ 1 Comment

Both shadow and fear in a lucid dream are always and only routes to the Angel who tells us where to go – if we dare and if we find courage and Will.

Treatise on Enochian magick

September 18, 2020November 17, 2020 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

We really have an objection; the Enochian realms are high for one simple reason, for we are utterly incapable of peering into our own depths.

On Tarot

June 10, 2020November 21, 2020 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

The author of Tarot is not the one who drew it but the one who holds it.

Divine embodyness

May 26, 2020January 14, 2024 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

The body itself is an orgasm of the Sphinx, every sensation hides the phenomenon which the entire cosmos originated from, each and every moment we receive the same information about the Knowledge and Conversation, but our perception refuses to process that information.

Liber Resh. Some notes on practices. Also, on Māyā or Illusion.

June 5, 2019November 8, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ 5 Comments

The essence of Liber Resh is not in a single execution, like it may be in Samekh, but in constant, daily repetition, even when you are not aware of progress, to remind you what awaits you at the end of the Path. It reminds you of golden Tiphareth, gently and continuously.

About the A∴A∴ Grades

June 1, 2019August 29, 2020 ~ Frater 273 ~ 2 Comments

Grades are meridians of the soul and like earthly meridians, they are just a matter of agreement, and as it does not mean that there are clearly visible lines on the planet, it can be said that from the standpoint of  LVX, the Grades do not exists.

On Magick and Mysticism, and their alliance toward Thelema

March 15, 2019September 1, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

You can climb into the house of God, but you can also make your house divine if you settle the Lord inside. It is one of the roughest divisions of our Art; on the path of Mysticism and the path of Magick.

Some notes on Probationers and Neophytes

February 20, 2019September 1, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

“I believed then, and believe now, that the Probationer of A∴A∴ is nearly always offered the opportunity to betray the Order, just as the Neophyte is nearly always tempted by a woman”.

On Yoga, and Buddhism, and Enlightenment, and the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel

January 3, 2019September 5, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ 1 Comment

This is the paradox of Yoga. You cannot practice Yoga. You cannot practice Achievement – it would mean that you have already achieved it. What moves you away from the Yoga is your practice of Yoga, as exercise is the essence of every failure.

Notes on the Ritual of Pentagram

January 1, 2019January 31, 2020 ~ Frater 273 ~ 4 Comments

If we limit ritual of Pentagram for banishing, we will remain limited. In fact, the ritual of Pentagram is the crossroad between the Paths of “Art” and the “Tower”. It is like a miniature Tiphareth operation.

About Grades denotement

December 6, 2018October 24, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

Every movement of Genius is accompanied by authenticity, from the way of his speech, walking, and even so corrupt things such as tics; it seems that the authenticity of Genius is magnificent in things that an ordinary man would suffer in the eyes of critics.

Practicus and Philosophus. On Jñāna and Bhakti Yoga. Also, on IAO formula.

December 3, 2018September 1, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

The way of brilliant Mind and Mercury and the fiery path of Love and Venus. Those two directions are clearly contained in these two instructions: invoke often and inflame thyself in prayer.

Astral projection. Fundament of dreams. Also, on trance techniques.

November 29, 2018September 1, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ 3 Comments

A change in consciousness that is experienced during the trance and astral projection is more valuable than all the seminars and workshops on which you have ever been. Without experience of astral projection, the whole system of Western and Eastern teachings is just another fairy tale.

Astral projection and rising on the plane

November 27, 2018September 2, 2020 ~ Frater 273 ~ 1 Comment

Economy of time is crucial in the Astral. Contrary to that, the economy of movement is crucial for breaking and collapsing the whole of that experience. You have to move around constantly, touching all the things as much as you can.

About the body of light, and a specific scent that follows its course

November 25, 2018September 1, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

In order to observe with your astral eyes, you have to start looking with altered consciousness. You have to acquire a conditioned reflex to change the state of consciousness at the moment when you step into the new body and look upon things from a new perspective.

About Trigrams

October 25, 2018October 9, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ 2 Comments

The best definition for me is that it includes the representation of the Reality beyond the decimal system that the traditional human mind is cultivating, it is simply Morse's alphabet for the Cosmos.

Book release! Anatomy of the Abyss – the Probationer’s compendium

October 11, 2018September 1, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ Leave a comment

I am so glad to announce that my book has come out. Both paperback and ebook are now available on Amazon.

Gematria values

October 7, 2018September 25, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ 2 Comments

Gematria values of letters.

22 Paths of the Tree of Life

September 29, 2018February 23, 2021 ~ Frater 273 ~ 1 Comment

22 Paths of the Tree of Life.

Tattwas and the Tree of Life

September 27, 2018September 1, 2019 ~ Frater 273 ~ 4 Comments

Relationship between Tattwas and the Tree of Life.
