A complete presentation of the Ritual of the Star and the Snake, a Thelemic sex magick rite of polarity and sacramental union rooted in the mysteries of Babalon and the Beast.
Implementation and integration form the supporting pillars of our inner temple, without which any serious spiritual progress remains futile. Even the Neophyte must carefully manage their personal work and, above all, their relationship with household members during louder invocations. Yet, for a Zelator, the question of integrating spiritual experiences into daily life becomes particularly crucial.
The principles examined within the practice of Asana naturally extend to Pranayama as well. The fundamental objective is to foster complete awareness in every action, including those that originate from the unconscious mind.
We are all Students here. Your current grade represents your present time zone, while mine reflects the time zone of my “currency.” Sometimes, when it is day for you, it is night for me. Yet the same sun that is now rising for me has already set for you. The same light, simply passing through a different time zone. The grades in our noble Order are just that: different time zones, nothing more.
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.
The body itself is an essential instrument in the orchestration of Will. Is not the entire Universe the body of God, its limbs woven from constellations, its stars as radiant suns, its cells as molecules and consciousnesses, its vast voids—both known and unknown—moving together as one harmonious whole?
Every act of sex magick is an experiment in play, not an anxious wait in a dark underground laboratory. All practice unfolds in the light of awareness, presence, and attention.
My ability for Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection has always been a gift I possessed since childhood. However, I must admit that even in this fantastic realm, as a child, I managed to maintain a scientific observation and approach.
Trance is an outpost toward stars. An aspirant must understand its nature, which is about all, natural, and easy for every soul. There is no mysticism in this occurrence, just a divine combination of biological and natural processes of the brain. Using methods that requires hours or years just shows that we do not understand the very mechanism of trance, as well as the mechanism of our mind.
Draw the Sign of the Beast above your head. First, a full circle (shout NUIT), then a dot (say HADIT), and finally, a cross (vibrate RA-HOOR-KHUIT).
Draw a heptagram (with mano in fica) starting from the second B (see the A∴A∴ sigil).
Masturbate, play not with your body but with you mind. Masturbate your mind, let the Universe arrouse you in his own way. You soul is the sexual object of the whole Universe, let the whole Universe arouse itself with your thinking about the same Universe. Your whole Ego is just an echo of the Universe's orgasm.
I do hereby resolve: in the Presence of Practicus of the A∴A∴: To prosecute the Great Work: which is, to obtain control of the vacillations of my own being.
Describe the Magical Dagger. (Drawing or picture). Describe your experiences working with Liber HHH. Attach your Magical Diary to demonstrate your practice of Asana and Pranayama.
Next assignment is somewhat more difficult: I want you to determine an aspect of Yesod contained in each of the given concepts. You must assume that Yesod is present in each of these concepts, somewhere more obviously presented, and somewhere hidden. You must train your mind to penetrate into the meaning of apparently insignificant terms.
Meditation found in Liber HHH, which is particularly refered to the Zelator.
