“THE THEORY OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD IN THE UNIVERSE”
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
Part I: THE ASTRONOMICAL DISCOVERY
1. INTRODUCTION
During the past few Aeons, and 6O19 years, according to bishop Usher, the Prophets, Messiahs,
the adepts of the hidden sciences, Holy men, Priests of various religions, and even the writers of
science-fiction, have spoken about (the possibility of) the existence of GOD on Earth and in the
Universe. They have announced his presence, using various names for Him, depending on the
language of their particular nation, its location and the time of their specific incarnation,
whether it be Je-ho-vah, Adonai, Eheyeh, Agala, Osiris, Horus, Krishna, Buddha, Christ, Allah,
Baal, Zeus, Pan, Jupiter, Odin, Thor or simply God the Almighty.
2. THE PROBLEM
However, in spite of all, the so called miracles, and the great civilizations which these chosen Holy
Men have created, they had no “scientific” (technical) means for proving their statements
concerning the Lord's countenance in the Macro-cosmos. Until today. The Eagle has landed.
We shall tackle the problem thus from the Astronomical, Scientific as well as Theological and
Magickal standpoint.
1 The English Prophet Aleister Crowley wrote: “But that apart, the proof of any discarnate
intelligence, even of the lowest order, has never before been established. Any lack of that proof is
the flaw in all the religions of the past; man could not be certain of the existence of “God”, because
though he knew many powers independent of muscle, he knew of no consciousness independent of
nerve.”
Crowley: Did you ever consider the production of Godhead as a result of the development of the
human brain ?
3. METODOLOGY
For the first time in history (as we know it), these technical conditions are now at our disposal, and
before us stands this “Theory” which will attempt to prove this thesis in both a scientific and a
religious manner. I shall try to prove the correctness of the “Theory” by analysing various
scientific facts and combining them with the facts of religious and Magickal nature, so to elevate
the question of God's existence from the category of "Faith" to the level of scientific Knowledge.
Or, as Crowley says: The Method of Science – the Aim of Religion. And when I say 2
Science, this shall include Magick in that science. The definition is: “Magick is the art and science
of causing changes to occur in conformation with the Will.”
9
10. 3,1. THE ASTRONOMICAL DISCOVERY
3
The “Theory” will primarily concern itself with the astronomical discovery presented on the
infra-red photograph made by observatories, and by the Hubble Space satellite telescope, classified
as M 16 (NGC 6611), and also known as Messier 16, The Eagle Nebula, Serpens (Cauda), Star
Queen Nebula, The Spire or Pillars of Creation. 4
M 16 was discovered by the Swiss astronomer Phillippe Loys de Cheseaux in 1745-46, and first
categorized by Charles Messier in June 1764.
That the newly mentioned distance is 6000-7000 Light years, may be due to Earth's “wobble" in
Space, known as precession. M 16 or NGC 6611, is supposed to be 5,5 million years old.
In the seventies of the previous century, the former Yugoslavian Astronomical magazine "Galaxy"
published an infrared photograph of M 16 made by an observatory, stating only that it is
registered as the M-16 Nebula, and that it was discovered in the Serpent Star-System, 6OOO light
years away from Earth. It was indicated that M 16 is composed of "interstellar clouds" which
produce numerous new-born Stars, and was said to be a centre of intensive astronomical
research. It was only upon this photo and these few astronomical facts, that the author of this
“Theory” begun his research upon.
More than 20 years later, in March 1991, he begun intuitively suspecting that this “humanoid-like"
figure is, in fact, GOD the Almighty Himself, of whom all the previous historical and present
religions spoke about.
The first version of this Theory was sent to NASA in January 1995, and in November 1995 the
"Hubble" Space telescope made and sent back to Earth new photographs of M 16.
“Time” magazine placed a photograph of M 16 on the front page, and “Newsweek” also brought
article about the matter in their November issue. Of course, the articles were purely scientific in
nature, and not religious, but the data helped this author in building this Theory.
Evidence from the Spitzer telescope suggests that the pillars in M 16 may already have been
destroyed by a supernova explosion – but the light showing us the destruction will not reach the
Earth for another millennium. Even Planets, Stars and Nebulas, even Gods have a time-limit.
3,2. ESTABLISHMENT OF “THE THEORY”
It is my opinion, that simple "interstellar clouds" do not ordinarily form "humanoid like" figures
with distinct parts of the body. Hermes Trismegistus’ formula “As above, so below” should be
taken (almost) “in verbatum”. Thus, I started to believe and prove, not considering M 16 to be a
"chance" Space phenomenon, but one with a higher purpose in this Universe.
I believe that this Humanoid (or a “dinosaur”) - like shape of M 16 is somehow formed and kept
together (without dispersion) by an aggregation of a coherent interior energy (probably of the
Hydrogen type). My opinion is that this energy is possibly of a superior kind, both in the amount
of power it contains (M 16 is bearing Stars), as in some form of Super – human intelligence
which manifests not only in the Cosmos light-years away, but – upon Planet Earth itself, and in
Man also.
To confirm this statement from the point of a Mystic, I shall quote the greatest expert on 5
Yoga, the legendary Indian Master Patanjali: "Yoga": IV, 29: “A deep concentration (samadhi) in
the case of the one who does not even interest himself in analyzing the informations
(prasamkhyana), since he has reached the final truth (vivekakhyti) in all of its aspects, is called-
“The Cloud of true form”(dharmamegha).
M 16 is here “The Cloud of True Form” – DHARMAMEGHA.
10
11. IV,30. Only here do the “obstacles” and “retributions” of acts (karman) finally stop manifesting
themselves.
IV, 32: "At this point comes (also) the completion of the evolutionary development series
(parinamakrama) which characterizes the basic energetic constituents (gunas) which have thus
successfully fulfilled their role."
And: IV: 33: "The development (krama) taken (here) as a correlate of the instantaneousness of
the moment (kshana) should be understood as "that which has no more continuation"
(aparanta)." This means that the concentration of energies in the Yogi has evolved in this final
Samadhi in which forms (dharma) are only what they are in one moment (kshana), thus,
11
12. unconnected with the position which they have had in the past, or may have in the future."
The comment adds that there are two kinds of constancies or steadiness' (nityata): the
absolutely unchangeable constancy, and the one where the specific essence (substance, or
entity) is preserved through change. The sphere (dimension, region) which the Yogi achieves
at the moment of entering the "Cloud of forms as such" (dharmamegha), himself now being
"outside", or more precisely, after all series and all changes, is defined as the highest, absolute
constancy (kutasthanityata), in which the series of changes have achieved their final levels.
Time connected with the changes, whose substance is setting series (krama), does not pass or
elapse here at this point.
3,3. CONCERNING LOCATION & ASTROPHYSICS
"Every man and every woman is a star", states "The Book of the Law" and the legend of
modern science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke, in his introduction to Stanley Kubrick’s film
“2OO1: A Space Odyssey" also confirms this statement. In the forward to his science -
fiction masterpiece novel, the geo–stationary satellite scientist, Arthur C.Clarke 6
writes: "Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the
dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings
have walked the planet Earth. Now this is an interesting number, for by a curious coincidence
there are approximately a hundred billion stars in our local universe, the Milky Way. So for every
man who has ever lived in this universe, there shines a star. Almost certainly there is enough
land in the sky to give every member of the human species, back to the first ape-man, his own
private, world-sized heaven - or hell." His astronaut–hero - David Bowman (Keir Dullea),
concludes his human evolution by becoming a Star-Child who shines its own light (after the death
of his human body in the impressive last sequence of the film). It is then, that he begins a new
cycle, a new stage in “post-human” evolution, himself becoming a Star-Child. Somewhere eons
behind him, he has abandoned his human origin in the vast reaches of Space & Time...
SERPENS – The Serpent 7
An ancient constellation, representing a snake wound around the body of Ophiuchus. Serpens
Caput, the head, which is the larger and more prominent half, and Serpens Cauda, the tail. It is the
only constellation to be split in half, but both halves count as one constellation. 8
M 16 (NGC 6611) is a hazy-looking star cluster 7000 l.y. distant, the apparent size of full Moon,
embedded in the Eagle Nebula, almost 10 trillion km high. The cluster is a grouping of about 60
stars of 8th
mag. And fainter at the limit of resolution in binoculars, more condensed at the northern
edge. The surrounding Eagle Nebula adds a touch of haziness to the cluster when seen in
binoculars. The nebula is too faint to be seen well in amateur telescopes, but shows up beautifully
on long-exposure photographs.
Authors and editors of the T.A.Rector & B.A.Wolpa’s picture, Robert Nemiroff (MTU) &Jerry
Bonnell (USRA)’s photograph which combines three specific emitted colours and was taken with
the 0.9 – meter telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona, U.S.A., gives this explanation: “From afar the
whole thing looks like an Eagle. A closer look at the Eagle Nebula, however, shows the bright
region is actually a window into the centre of the dark shell of dust. Through this window, a
brightly lit workshop appears where a whole cluster of stars is being formed. In this cavity tall
pillars and round globules of dark dust and cold molecular gas remain where stars are still forming.
Already visible are several young bright blue stars whose light and winds are burning away and
pushing back the remaining filaments and walls of gas and dust. The Eagle nebula emission
nebula, tagged M 16, lies about 6500 light years away, spans about 20 light-years, and is visible
with binoculars toward the constellation of Serpens.”
12
14. That M 16 is mainly composed of Hydrogen, as a Creator of Stars indeed would be, is not very
surprising, if we take into account the fact that that the essential chemical process of Star-shining
is the fusion of H (Hydrogen) nuclei to form He (Helium) nuclei. This is the basic exothermic
reaction in our local Sun and in the Stars, and hence the prime energy source in the Universe.
Not unlike this, the various Spiritual sciences have long been stating that a person's immortal Soul
is composed of an atom of Hydrogen, the most basic element, and thus, the "Father", Creator of
the other elements.
The ancient Egyptian religion, manifested (“reincarnated”) in the Thelemic "The Book of the Law"
names this Energetic centre HADIT. Now, that the type of Hydrogen within M 16 is H-Alpha,
is also not so surprising, from the point of the theory of Magick, because "A", or Alpha, the
Hebrew Aleph, is the first of the manifested letters and the first (11th
) of the 32 paths upon "The
Tree of Life", being the first emanation from Sephirot Kether.
3,4. IDENTIFICATION OF GOD & THE GODDESS OF THE UNIVERSE
We shall now set about to attempt to identify and characterize this Macrocosmic entity which we
may, for practical purposes, call “God”. To understand Him in a relatively full perspective, we
must primarily consider the element of Time in which He manifests His presence and the elements
which characterise Him. With each passing Aeon, the message, telepathically communicated to
His chosen Scribes, Prophets, Messiahs and other Holy Men, has brought certain new essential
information to the human race, although these information often seem to create a historical
paradox, and were often abused as an excuse for “religious wars” (the true purpose being in fact
barbaric conquests), and other unworthy purposes which had nothing to do with the essential
message of the original Prophet(s).
Thus, to orient ourselves, it seems best to accept the ancient Egyptian Pantheon terminology 9
for aggregates of experience, which may also be described as “Gods”. Aleister Crowley: “One of
these is in charge of the destinies of this planet for periods of about 2OOO years. In the history
of the world, as far as we know accurately, are three such "phases" or Gods: Isis, the “Mother”,
when the Universe was conceived as simple nourishment drawn directly from her; this period
is marked by matriarchal government. Next, beginning 5OO b.c., Osiris, the father, when the
Universe was imagined as catastrophic, death and resurrection being methods by which
experience was built up; this corresponds to patriarchal systems. The fact that God was slain, or
crucified, also derives from the Egyptian "legend". It states that Osiris was murdered by his
brother Set, the Lord of Death. However, it also speaks of God Horus, the Child God, son of
Osiris and Isis, who avenges his father and retrieves the supreme throne.
The moment of change from one Aeon to another is technically called “The Equinox of the
Gods. God Horus rules the present period, beginning in April 19O4, when the Equinox of the
Aeons took place, when “The Book of the Law” was dictated to the Prophet Aleister Crowley in
Cairo.
14
16. 4. RESULTS
We shall first consider the Results of this Theory according to The Book of the Law, and
afterwards the result of the author’s discovery of The Axis of the Universe, and the picture of
Daredevil.
4,1. RESULTS ACCORDING TO “THE BOOK OF THE LAW”
Thus, I shall base my identification of God and proof primarily upon the Holy Book which
characterizes the current time-the Aeon in which we live. This is "The Book of the Law" or "Liber
Al vel Legis", dictated to the prophet Aleister Crowley in Cairo on April 8-th, 9-th and 1O-th in
the year 19O4. The Author, or Force, who communicated the Book, presented himself as
Aiwass, the messenger of the Universe and the presently ruling God Horus.
He proved that he was in fact a being of a kind superior to any of the human race by showing
knowledge and power such as no man has ever been known to posses. He set forth recondite
facts, including some events which had yet to take place, such as no human being could possibly
be aware of them. Thus, the proof of his claim exists in the manuscript itself, and history fully
supports the given information.
The theogony of this Law is entirely scientific, combining the knowledge of all areas of thought
into a synthetic system. This Book explains the Universe. The elements are Nuit-Space, that is,
the total of possibilities of every kind - and Hadit, any point which has experience of these
possibilities. This idea is symbolized by the Egyptian Goddess Nuit, a woman bending over
like the Arch of the Night Sky. Hadit is symbolized as a Winged Globe at the heart of
Nuit. Nuit is matter, Hadit is motion, in their sense. The proton and electron, in a metaphysical
sense, suggest analogies. The combination of these two is their "child" - God Horus.
This Book lays down a simple code of conduct: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law",
and "Love is the law, love under will". Also, "Every man and every woman is a Star”, - which
means that each of us stars is to move on our true orbit, not obstructing the Free Will (orbit) of
another. This Law and it's Religion are called THELEMA (Greek for Will).
When the author of this Theory first set out to prove the Existence of God in the Universe
(in 1994), he had no astro-physical-chemical data yet, nor the newest close-ups from the Hubble
Space telescope, and based his proof almost entirely upon the contents of “The Book of the Law",
intuitively and logically combining the Visual fact of the existence of M 16 with the “audible”
(textual) dictation of the manuscript which Crowley had heard.
16
17. Aleister Crowley, the Great Mysterioso in Cairo 1904
Modern technological advancement has only further confirmed the facts stated in the Book about
the Universe, the so-called Spiritual centre, the God of this Era, Einstein and Nostradamus’s
Theories of the relativity of Time, etc. Thus, this chapter will demonstrate how the Spiritual
science was capable of achieving this by identifying the Dinosaur-like “Figure” on the infrared
photograph with the very Cosmic Intelligence who communicated the message of the Book of the
Law to the Scribe Crowley. The following passages contain certain Magickal keys and formulas
whose analysis will offer us the necessary facts which prove the correctness of this "Theory...".
Chapter I,1. Had ! The manifestation of Nuit.
2. The unveiling of the company of heaven.
17
18. 3. Every man and every woman is a star.
Nuit, the Universe speaks as an intelligent being. Is it at all curious that M 16 should not be an
aggregate of “intelligent Stars” ? This is also called Cosmic consciousness.
Chapter1,8. "Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent!"
Here, for the first time in this Holy Book, the speaking Goddess Nuit (the Universe) mentions the
“Serpent”. This is, astronomically speaking, quite appropriate, since the location of M 16
Nebula is Serpens Cauda – the Serpent's Tail. This “Serpent” has, of course, nothing to do with
the symbolical “serpent” from the Holy Scripture, where a “serpent” appears in the
symbolical story about Adam Kadmon and Eve.
In an attempt of combining the traditional Science and Religion of Ancient Egypt - which was
Magick, and the "modern" technical science, I shall mention Crowley’s comment to the "Yi Jing"
Hexagrams 23 & 24, where he confirms that, in the tradition of the so-called "horseshoe", the
Dragon's Tail (Serpens Cauda) brings good Fortune (Hexagram 24-The Return), while the
Dragon’s Head (Hexagram 23) takes it away, so we can and may consider God's position in the
Cosmos a fortunate one.
Chapter I, 24.: " I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty."
As explained before, Nuit is the Egyptian name for the Night Sky. Thus, it is the Absolute Macro-
cosmos, the Universe, or Infinite Space and the Stars, thereof, are communicating a secret
numerical formula to her Prophet. Now, let us see what results can be derived from this number:
Using the Hebrew Gematry calculation for the Goddess "Nu" we indeed get the number 56: Nun +
Vahv = 5O + 6 = 56. Does this number tell us anything in connection with her "Child", the
Cosmic Figure of which this “Theory...” speaks ? The original distance of the Creator of Stars, the
M 16 was estimated at about 6OOO light years from Earth. The speed of Light being 3OO OOO
km/sec, it is (somewhat more then) 9,4 billion km in one year. 6OOO x 9,4 (billion km) = (is
somewhat more then) 56 OOO billion km of distance.
Now, if we look approximately 6OOO years into the history of mankind, we find the first
developed religious civilization in Sumeria. Crowley himself expressed his belief on a couple of
occasions, especially in "The Equinox of Gods", by saying that Aiwass was (is) a Sumer God
who wished Aleister to accept & follow his cult. Also, the legend in the Bible claims the "creation"
of the first (God created) Man, Adam Kadmon, at 4OOO B.C., which is again (!)
approximately 6OOO years ago...
One more comparison between a scientific and a magickal fact can be made here, to confirm
the bridge connecting them: The speed of light - 3OO OOO km/sec, (being also the speed of
electro-magnetic radio-waves), can be identified with the (thousand-fold) number of the letter
Shin, 3OO, which corresponds with the Holy Spirit, and the Lord of this Aeon - Horus, or
Aiwass. Also, multiplying 5O x 6 = 3OO, we reach the mathematical same result...
Chapter I,55 . “The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them.”
Nikola Vrbavac, Therion Aries-Libra, author of this Theory.
18
20. Chapter I, 56. Expect him not from the East, nor from the West; for
from no expected house cometh that child. Aum ! All the words are
sacred and all the prophets true; save only that they understand a
little; solve the first half of the equation, leave the second
unattacked. But thou hast all in the clear light, and some, though
not all, in the dark.
This verse determines the location of the expected “Child” of the Prophet’s “bowels”: All the
prophets are true, but “Son” of Aleister Crowley was expected “not from the East, nor from the
West”. Yugoslavia was a non-aligned country, geographically not in the East, nor in the West,
where the number of O.T.O. Lodges, Oasis and Camps was second only to U.S.A., but considering
the number of citizens, the density of O.T.O. members was the greatest in the World.
Chapter I, 57. “… All these letters of my Book are all right: but
Tzadee is not the Star. This also is secret: my prophet shall reveal it
to the wise.
Aleister Crowley: Commentary on THE BOOK OF THE LAW: I see no harm in revealing the
mystery of Tzadee to “the wise”; others will hardly understand my explanations. Tzaddi is the letter
of the Emperor, the Trump IV, and Heh is the Star, the Trump XVII. Aquarius and Aries are
therefore counter-changed…
Patanjali: “Yoga”: The reality of this newly-conquered Universe is in no
way inferior to that which the "usual" states of mind possess. Thus,
the Yogi lives in a new and definitely wider concept of reality, as he
discovers his own Transcendental subjectivity making himself the true
subject of Cosmic manifestation."
What could we say Crowley’s true purpose was ? To fulfil the ambition of generations of
Magicians, "to create a man who is more than a man", a “higher" and more developed (human)
race upon this planet (but, of course, not in the insanely criminal manner Hitler 10
or Stalin wanted to achieve it). In Crowley’s biography "The Great Beast" (by John Symonds),
Crowley states, more or less, clearly: "I must find a material with which to works with,
which is immune from the forces of change". This may be called "return to paradise", which I
could also call the consistency of immortality".
Chapter I, 61.:"But to love me is better than all things: if under
the night-stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense
before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame
therein, thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom... Put on the
wings, and arouse the coiled splendour within you: come unto me !"
Once again the Serpent is mentioned in “The Book of the Law”. It appears so many times in the
Book, that it surely cannot be “accidental”, considering the location of M 16 in Serpens (Cauda).
Since the ancient Chinese system of “Yi Jing”, confirmed by C.G. Jung's "Theory of
Synchronicity" denies the possibilities of the so-called "chance accidents", but sees a higher reason,
or purpose in all events, I can only conclude that this is one of the keys which support “The Theory
of God's Existence in the Universe”.
20
21. As I mentioned before, this “Serpent” should not be identified or compared to the “evil serpent” of
the Holy Scripture’s "Genesis", the bringer of “sin” and “mortality, but rather the Kundalini
Serpent as the Buddhists and the Hindu understand it. Thus, he symbolizes the condensed
("coiled") electro-magnetic bio-energy which has the ability to rise upwards along and inside
through one's back-bone, the spine, above the head of the Mystic, in the high trances of Yoga,
bringing the Adept into the ecstatic “Samadhi” trance, or “Nirvana” as some call it...
Chapter II, 21.:" ...Nuit ! Hadit ! Ra-Hoor-Khuit ! The Sun, Strength &
Sight, Light; these are for the servants of the Star & the Snake."
What can be more obvious than the fact that “The Serpent” can also be called the "Snake" ?
Chapter II, 22.: " I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge &
Delight and bright glory, and stir the hearts of men with
drunkenness. To worship me take wine and strange drugs
whereof I will tell my prophet, & be drunk thereof ! They shall
not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The
exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man ! lust, enjoy all
things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny
thee for this."
Important: This verse should not be taken as an invitation to take
“Strange drugs” without the control of “True Will” !
During his expedition to the Himalayan mountain K2, Aleister Crowley got asthma, while
waiting for weeks in a tent surrounded by a terrifying snow - storm. At the beginning of the 20-
th Century, heroin was the only known medicine against asthma, was legal and could be acquired
in a pharmacy with a doctor’s prescription and in a civilised manner. In a decade or two, the
world’s medical community, decided to illegalise all the, so called, “drugs” at an international
medical congress held in Switzerland. For that occasion Aleister Crowley wrote to the members of
the congress a letter explaining that illegalising these substances would only create an organised
underground community, which would be supplying the customers in this criminal way instead.
The members of the medical congress ignored Crowley’s warning, and, without truly scientifically
analysing the effects of the substances which they have illegalised, they forced a great number of
people into supplying themselves in the criminal underground community, often being stigmatised
as criminals themselves. By the second part of the 20-th century, the matters had already gotten out
of control, and the younger generation (of the 60-ties) refused to accept the hypocritical policy
of their whiskey and vodka - drinking “parent -generation”, and chose the less dangerous and
less destructive drugs, such as marijuana and hashish.
Magic mushrooms” and other “controlled substances” have been traditionally used by Indian
tribes who used to live in a much cleaner and healthier surroundings, helping them to achieve
transcendental meditation, or the Higher state of mind in which the Magickal force (Kundalini
Serpent) is uplifted into a religious ecstasy, and the unification with God achieved. There is no
doubt that this high trance (Samadhi, Nirvana, Ecstatic Trance, Union with God, etc,.) can be
achieved by the use of certain natural (or even recently, chemically produced) substances, the, so
called “controlled substances”. However, and surely, this verse of the Law does not imply, nor
is it an invitation for an uncontrolled use of these substances without the supervision of one’s
“True Will”, nor does it allow an excessive misuse of these “strange Drugs” without the self-
control of one’s True Will. The problem of this civilization is that most of us individuals, are not
even aware what our True Will is. Once, and if this is discovered, all other problems, including
“strange drugs”, soon become minimal and controllable.
21
22. The true problem is, thus, the Free Will of each individual in the community we call the human
society. The “modern” society, obsessed with gathering material wealth to the point of it
becoming an obsession , has forgotten the Spirit exists also. Their children, desperately seeking
some sort of a Spiritual guidance, experience, or compensation, fall into the terrible hell of
overusing heavy drugs, the use of syringes, etc. To try to battle the result of it's own impotence, the
modern state executes the prohibition of practically completely harmless Holy Grass. Also, by
doing this, the “modern state” practically pushes many young (homeless, jobless and penniless)
people into the consummation of alcohol and drugs.
The "medical experts" of the "modern" state, usually have no real knowledge of the true effects of
various drugs upon the human mentality, not care to pay attention to the facts that the people who
smoke Holy Grass are mostly non violent, very often produce top artistic and intellectual results,
and to the fact that no one has ever died from it, for that is virtually impossible, Thus, results
of controlling the substances are best in countries where marijuana and hashish are not forbidden,
and may be purchased and consumed in a civilized manner. There, where these products of nature
are liberated and under the control of the state, best results are achieved. The advantages of
medical marijuana as a cure for cancer and other maladies are only now being considered by
serious scientist.
Chapter II, 23.:" I am alone: there is no God where I am".

Aleister Crowley: Liber Oz
22
23. OZ_ Liber LXXVII.html
“Libe Oz” presents the Human Rights in a clear and simple way. “The Book of the Law” will be
presented later in this "Theory", but already here we can conclude that this verse led to a
misunderstanding which the atheist heathens took with open hands, to try to “prove” their
materialistic “theory” which declares that there is no God in the Universe or anywhere else for that
matter. However, with the “No-God” “theory” they fall into their own trap, for it is no one else but
God who speaks these words to his Scribe. And, he truly is alone, for there is no (other) God
where he is.
Nature has, however, thus created itself so that each element, possibly even the evilest one has
some sort of a function in this game we call Life and Death. If the consequences of this verse were
to bring about the ending of the monopoly of the religions of the previous Aeon, and atheism as a
sort of an “interlude” before the coming of the New Age – the Aeon of Thelema, then there could
have been no mistake here. On the other hand, the “materialistic” - atheists, and the “idealistic”
religious philosophies have been at “war” from the time of Aristoteles and Plato. How these
conflicts ended, we know from history books, and this verse only determines the uniqueness of
the One lonely M 16 Figure in the Sky. It is probably not a coincidence that Crowley declared
himself to be “The Spirit of Solitude”.
Chapter II, 26.:" I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring; in
my coiling there is joy."...
Once again, God Horus presents himself as the Serpent of which so many ancient religions speak
of as the creator of the Universe. Also, he claims to be secret, which he is, the “Hidden God”.
Even the Prophets of God themselves often chose to remain anonymous, thus avoiding danger and
the ego-trap of “ego-trip”.
Now, as for “the coiled Serpent”: is it not the sign of infinity in mathematics, or the magickal
Ureus Serpent "biting its tail” of Eternity ? More about the "nature of the species": "Liber Al vel
Legis" was dictated to the scribe of Gods in 19O4 – in the Chinese year of the Dragon, and the
“Dragon”, just like the standing “Dinosaur” (M 16) is also a sort of a “reptile” species. In the
philosophy of the Chinese, (in the “Yi Jing”) the Dragon is a very often used symbol - Hexagram
1-“Creativity” or (“The Sky”) strictly uses the "Dragon(s)" as a symbol...
Chapter II, 32.: "Also reason is a lie; for there is a factor infinite &
unknown; & all their words are skrew-wise.”
The revolution in the religious system which “The Book of the Law” had brought forth is, in fact,
the continuation of the philosophical statement made by the German Classical 12
philosopher Immanuel Kant: “THE UNIVERSE IS COMPOSED SOLELY,
STRICTLY, OF IDEAS”. In other words, the essential function and purpose in all factors
of life are, in their essence, IRRATIONAL.
As “THE BOOK OF THE LAW” states “ all is ever as it was”, and so the war
between the Ancient Egyptian Gods continues from millennium to millennium, from incarnation
to incarnation. Set, the God of death and evil, not unlike his opponent Horus, is incarnated in a
23
24. human body. The author of this “Theory” survived the powerful electric blast in February of 1995
& turned out to be a miracle, comparable to any of the miracles mentioned in The Holy Bible. His
life was on the brink of existence for 3 days and nights - (as the “legend” repeats itself from time
to time) victory won for at least a while, but the battle has to be fought again and again from the
attacks of the "dark organization". This somehow proves that the Bible (and other Holy Books
of that type) are sorts of ancient “computers”, whose formulas repeat themselves throughout
the history in similar patterns...
The characteristic of Atheism is the denial of the Karmic, that is, Natural Laws. As Aleister
Crowley mentions in the Introduction to “The Book of the Law”: Democracy dodders, Ferocious
Fascism, cackling Communism, equally frauds, cavort crazily all over the globe. They are
hemming us in. They are the abortive births of the Child, the New Aeon of Horus. Therion himself
cannot go back from his long-lasting mission, for he is sworn to "Wage eternal War against the
forces of evil" (Citation of the Magickal Oath of Aleister Crowley). There can be no "simply
rational" criticism of the things beyond.
The Holy Law itself states clearly that “death”, as such, can indeed be defeated on the Spiritual
level:
LIBER AL:III, 37...
"Unity uttermost showed !
I adore the might of Thy breath,
Supreme and terrible God,
Who makest the gods and death
To tremble before Thee:-
I, I adore Thee !
Almost each of the Messiahs of the past had the task of presenting mankind with a new Holy
Law, depending on the circumstances and adapted to them, regarding on their time and the
civilization in which they lived. Crowley’s "The Book of the Law" from April 19O4 has fulfilled its
mission and created a modern, liberated society, establishing the new religion of Thelema.
It was the function of "Liber Al vel Legis” to "overthrow" the approximately 2000 years of the
domination of the patriarchal religions, in spite of all the positive principles which they had
established during this period. In other words, as the ancient Egyptian legend goes, the Son –Horus
had avenged his Father’s death by slaying Osiris’ murderer, his brother Set, and taking
the throne of Gods.
Crowley himself had objections to the third chapter of “The Book of the Law”, tried opposing it
and even forgot and misplaced the original manuscript. But the power of “The Book” was greater.
While looking for a pair of skis in the basement of his house, he found the manuscript, and was
forced to return to it.
At this present stage, we find the World still in a state of danger, being maladjusted to the natural
circumstances, torn by civil, and what is even more ridiculous religious wars, in spite of the
almost identical messages of the Holy Books. The civilization is crumbling between the
materialistic moral anarchy of the "West", and the still oppressive “East". The scary, but
promising thing is that GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES.
Chapter III, 37:" ... I am the Lord of Thebes, and I The inspired forth
–speaker of Mentu; For me unveils the veiled sky...".
24
25. One may notice on the older, “original” photograph of M 16 that there is a delicate veil around the
Humanoid Figure in the Sky, and the possibility is that, in the meantime, it has “unveiled”, as can
be seen on the newer photographs. The Heavens-and they truly look like “Heavens” out of the
Holy Scriptures. Thus, God (or at least His image) is not so far from Man as the majority of
mankind might think. His extra-terrestrial photograph could be in each and every house for a
symbolical sum of money, practically free and available even to a vagabond – if there only was
the CONSCIOUSNESS of this fact.
Chapter III, 38.: " So that thy light is in me & its red flame is as a
sword in my hand to push thy order... Bid me within thy House to
dwell, O winged snake of light, Hadit !...".
The original photograph of M 16 is infrared. Red is also the colour of Planet Mars, the
presiding Planet in the year 19O4. However, Mars, the Warrior Lord, traditionally the God of
War, should not be understood as being an “evil” Planet as such, in the manner of the good, but
naïve “flower-power” pacifist generation. In principle, of course, Peace is better than War, but
one must sometimes battle evil, and wars often bring about a great and swift advancement in 13
technology. Then, how do wars come about ? In his comment to Lao Tze's "The Tao Teh King",
Crowley explains: "To excite cupidity leads to theft at home, and war abroad. It is only too
evident today how neglect of this rule has destroyed civilization; I need not insist on examples of
how A's gold, B's iron, C's coal and D's trade routes have caused E to set the world ablaze. The
present troubles are due to the absurd cult of material complexities miscalled prosperity."
Thus, I would say that the true purpose of Mars is to create order, the Magick Sword being a
symbol of the element AIR which stands for Reason, Ratio. So, one should not fear of Mars, for his
true goal is the creation of a more perfected society, “Utopia”.
From the Astronautic point of view, an example was achieved in Astronautics, when "Viking 2"
landed safely on Mars, on UTOPIA Planitia in 1976...
Chapter III, 42.:"The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only
the blind ones. Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the
traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit ; and I am powerful to protect my
servant. Success is thy proof ; argue not ; convert not ; talk not
overmuch ! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them
attack without pity or quarter ; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a
trodden serpent turn and strike ! Be thou yet deadlier than he !
Drag down their souls to awful torment ; laugh at their fear ; spit
upon them !"
Life is a battle for survival, if we accept Darvin’s truthful statement or not. In nature, there are no
pathetic exclamations in the style of “Live and let live”. Let the enemy live, and he will kill you
and your offspring, to make room for his own. Nature is not sentimental, it is cruel, and so are the
people, and the sooner one realises this truth, and adjusts to it, the better for him. This is the Law
of Nature, and nothing can ever change it. The war between the forces of good (and I mean
forces of democracy, Human Rights, noble progression and positive change), and the forces of
evil, (the forces of tyranny, oppression, stagnation and prevention of positive, creative change) has
lasted for ever, and will possibly last until the end of this planet’s time. I will not even say that
the forces of “evil” are any less important than the forces of “good”, because it is these negative
forces which are the only ones capable of motivating the “good”, that is helping the “good” to
become what they are, that is to recognise themselves for what they are and what their mission
is. No Power, no matter how big and strong, cannot avoid THE LAWS OF KARMA. Since we are
25
26. all Stars, a person has the right to fight for one’s own personal “orbit”, but only so far and so
long as his orbit does not obstruct or interfere with another Star’s orbit or path. One has the right to
follow his own True Will, but no right to oppose the True Will of the others. All conflicts in the
World arise from someone's interfering with the orbit of another, causing disturbances in
universal harmony. This is the reason why the Law of Thelema:"Do what thou wilt shalt be the
whole of the Law” is the major Law in this Aeon, and why “Liber Oz”- the Rights of Man is
written to avoid all possible misunderstandings. These Laws were established to protect the rights
of the people for they are Universal Laws, whilst the laws of tyrants, dictators and self-proclaimed
leaders are worthless, and men have the right, by God’s Law to overthrow them. For this
reason, “Liber Al”” advises us, Thelemites: II,60: “Strike hard and low, and to hell
with them, Master”.
Chapter III, 46.: " I am the warrior Lord of the Forties: the Eighties
cower before me, and are abased. I will bring you to victory and joy..."
This paragraph proves beyond all possible doubt that “THE BOOK OF THE LAW “
- AIWASS (or M 16) is in fact Horus, the God- Creator (and Destroyer), for he gives recondite but
accurate historical facts (in the year 1904) about the events which are yet to take place in the
future. Not many people know that the Second World War was, in fact prophesied here, in the
Forties, as well as the appearance of the Second Beast of Apocalypse in the Eighties of the 20-th
Century. Most of the people also do not know that the second World War was, in fact, the battle
between the White and the Black magic Lodge, between Crowley's Order of the Silver Star
(Argentum Astrum), and the black magician Hitler's organization Thule.
26
27. Even less people know the truth that, due to the treason of an old Nazi hag within the ranks of the
O.T.O., Hitler had come into possession of “The Book of the Law”, and that he abused it to
wage W.W. II. Also, not many people are aware of the fact that it was The Master Therion who
worked for the British Secret Service, and that Aleister Crowley recommended the use of the
“Thumbs up” & "V" (Victory) signs to Winston Churchill, and that it was his Magick which
defended England in its hardest hour (when the rest of Europe was under Hitler’s control), and
then led the Allied forces to the final victory starting on “D-Day”, the 6-th of the 6-th at 6 am
(1944).
As for the second part of this verse which concerns the “Eighties” (of the 20-th Century), the
present and future events will prove that this period, in which the Second Beast of Apocalypse
666 (Therion Al) had become acquainted with the works of Aleister Crowley (The Great Beast of
Apocalypse), and for this he faced extreme opposition and oppression of the Yugoslav and later
Slovenian atheist-communist regime. Motion-picture screenplay “Moonchild” was written in the
Eighties, and it is also being proven on Peter Rafelson’s artistic Los Angeles portal “Digiramp”
where Nikola Vrbavac’s Academy films from the Eighties are being shown now with considerable
success. Log in and see them on:https://digiramp.com/user/users/nikola-vrbavac/cms_pages/81/edit

28. Chapter III, 71.: " Hail ! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the
world ! for your time is nigh at hand."
In history there have been cases of “twin warriors”: Sir Edward Kelly & dr. John Dee, Aleister
Crowley & Victor Neuburg, Winston Churchill and President Teddy Roosevelt, etc.)
This verse was further explained thanks to NASA's Ed Weiler, the Hubble telescope chief
scientist, and the Arizona State University astronomer Jeff Hester, who published the new close-
ups of M 16, in November 20th
1995 issue of "Time" (and November 13th
"Newsweek")
magazines, under the title "Pillars of Creation". The Creator’s head and arms have been thus
called.
Another historical date was the 3. XI 1995, when the new “Hubble” satellite photographs of M
16 (NGC 6611) were shown on “Euronews" and other television programs around the World.
“Now” is relative according to Albert Einstein’s “General Theory of Relativity”, and the author
of this “Theory...” has registered it previously at Authorship Agency of Slovenia in 1996 & in the
year 2000.
Chapter III, 72.: "I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power;
the Wand of the Force of Coph Nia – but my left hand is empty,
for I have crushed an Universe; & nought remains."
This verse is important primarily because of the fact that it informs the reader that, like an
ordinary person, the True Author of this Book (of the Law) – God HORUS, has the same parts
of the body as any other person, thus the left hand also. And so does the M 16, as can be seen upon
the photographs I have presented. The meaning of the (slightly mysterious sounding) phrase "the
Double Wand of Power" will be explained later on and theoretically concerns the Tarot Card
“Ace of Wands”. Before this mystery is revealed, I can already say that this prophesy also
concerns Therion A.L., and thus the future (from Crowley’s point of view).
Upon the (infrared) Hubble Space-telescope photographs one may, if he but look closely, notice
that the Lord's left hand is indeed slightly different from His right hand, that it is "empty", (or
“compressed”, as if He was grasping something). The “Universe” mentioned here is, I consider,
a metaphor not for a real “Universe” but an abstraction for something which is large, but whose
time has expired (like in the Hindy mythology where Shiva, the Creator of the Universe in also
the Destroyer of the universe. M 16 has, thus, two slightly different hands, one “creative”(right),
and one “destructive” (left), establishing a Yin-Yang – like balance of contradictories.
So, which “Universe” has he crushed ? Most of the messages of the Book should not be taken
verbatim, because many of the facts are veiled in symbols and formulas. Thus, I state that the
“crushed Universe” hereupon mentioned, is a metaphor.
Chapter II, 73. : " Ah ! Ah ! Death ! Thou shalt long for
death. Death is forbidden, o man, unto thee."
This may have something to do with Siddarta Gautama Buddha’s attitude that “Life is Sorrow”. 14
Aleister Crowley says in his Autohagiography “The Spirit of Solitude” (“Confessions”):
“And I am still in doubt, as I write these words, as to how far it is
right to employ strategy and diplomacy in order to gain one’s point.
Adaptation to one’s environment makes for a sort of survival; but
after all, the supreme victory is only won by those who prove
28
29. themselves of so much harder stuff than the rest that no power on
earth is able to destroy them.
The people who have really made history are the Martyrs.”
(I am, of course, not speaking about Islamic and other terrorists here.) Yes, it is those who adjust to the
circumstances that survive, but the evolution of the human race, its Light, is moved forward by the ones
who refuse to adjust to the immoralities of the society”. But the old Aeon of Oziris, the murdered God
is over, and in his "Comment D" I,49., Crowley explains-supports this: "The new Aeon: The
New Initiation - Ritual indicated. He needs no more to die and rise again; His Great Work is now
to come to know Himself as the "Child" ever-living, sinless, perfect, the all-shining Sun."
The problem of dealing with physical death is hidden in the number 5O, both in Magick and in
Biology, that is in Medicine and in the Genetic research, which proves that there is essentially no
difference between the ancient and the modern science which developed from this root. The fact
that the value of the Hebrew letter "Nun", meaning "Fish", which stands for the Tarot Trump
XIII– “Death”, is 5O, is confirmed by the fact that the (present) maximum possible number of
human cell divisions is the same - 5O. On "The Tree of Life", Death stands, occupies, the 24-th
Path, which is ruled by Scorpio (constellation). The problem should be solved by making certain
theoretical and practical changes in the science of genetic research. It is up to the genetic
engineers to show whether this problem can be solved on the microcosmic level of cells, genes
and DNA. Since the Soul, composed of electro-magnetic (bio)energy is essentially
indestructible(immortal), but the human body is not, it is forced to reincarnate all over into new
foetuses (as Aleister Crowley so well explained and visualised in his novel “Moonchild”).
Gautama Buddha rightfully complains when he says that constantly repeating reincarnations are
a nuisance (probably because of being forced to repeatedly correct the Karmic mistakes from
previous lives). The Roman Catholic Church denies the theory of reincarnation, and sends
people to eternal heaven, purgatory or hell. The fact is, however, that no psychological book of
the past 5500 years has even come closer to the analysis which Patanjali’s “Yoga” has given
mankind.
As I have mentioned, certain information indicate that the developing researches of the genetic
scientists inform us that the time is not so far away when we might be able to retrieve the original
“inherent” immortality of Adam and Eve, the immortality of the Temple of the Holy Spirit - the
human body itself, by finding and excluding the flaw in the structure of the cell which limits its
life period, and the possible number of its permutations. Also, from the ancient experience of
the Yoga Master Patanjali, we learn that by reaching higher states of mind, the biological
structure of the physical body changes too, as can be seen in numerous cases especially in India,
where the experienced Yoga-masters show feats unimaginable to our common “Western” mind.
As for “Death” itself, Crowley objects to the prevention and denial of the Natural Law of Change,
and considers “Death” as necessary and useful as Life itself. Once man rids himself of the fear of
“Death” the great “enemy” becomes the great friend and ally. To conclude this chapter: The
map of "The Tree of Life" shows how Man became physically mortal: through the 24-th Path
which is ruled by Scorpio. Thus, 51+, is the task of the genetic scientists. I will use this
opportunity to also remind the reader that the number 51 also has a special meaning in
Astronautics, and that the “famous” Area 51 is also known to be not only a “location”, but a “State
of mind”.
If this perfected state of mind is a Balance of the Mind , then the Scales should be regarded as this
symbol, the symbol of Justice, (constellation) of Libra, held aloft by the Goddess of Justice,
Astraeia, the Egyptian Goddess Maat, represented by the figure of the Virgin, also known as
29
30. Artemis or Mitromartis, Tarot Trump VIII “Adjustment” in Crowley-Harris’ Thoth Tarot pack..
The well known citation from the Bible places this, in fact, psychological, Magick operation 15
in a wonderful verse: "Although I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil.
The rhinoceros finds no place in him into which to thrust its horn, nor a tiger a place in which to
fix its claws, nor the weapon a place to admit its point. And for what reason ? Because there is in
him no place of death."
This is how the mighty Patanjali puts it in his "Yoga": I, 43: "Delivered from the (disturbing)
presence of the association of (death), as in the case of one who (no more) possesses his own
"personality" (svarupa), around which the association would be manifesting, and about whom
now only the essence itself (artha) shines (with meaning), this case is called the un-discursive
unity (nirvitarkasamapatti)."
4,2. THE AXIS OF THE UNIVERSE
In the known theory of Magick (Astrology) there has never been any mention of an “Axis of the
Universe” until this present Theory which is now before you. It so happens that this “Axis” was
discovered quite “accidentally” and by chance (if we accept the invalid philosophical theory that
something like “chance” or “accident” can exist at all). In any case, Carl Gustav Jung’s theory of
synchronicity would disapprove that such a matter as a “chance” or “accident” can exist, and the
Authors of the Ancient Chinese “Book of Changes” (“The Yi Jing”) were quite well aware of
that fact some 3000 years ago. So, like I said, the “Axis of the Universe” was found to exist quite
by “chance” by the author of this “Theory”, on the 5-th of November l994, while working on the
Magical Astrology Zodiac Circle (which is also called the “Shemhaphorash” map, it being a
cabalistic representation of the Universe of the 12 Astrological-Astronomical signs which we use,
and all the Elemental, Tarot, and Planetary symbols, added by the Chinese (Yi Jing) symbols of
the few (of the 64) Hexagrams which the 72 year old Aleister Crowley still had time and energy to
incorporate into this “complete Universal” map.
But in the final realisation, it truly came as no big surprise that this Space Axis runs EXACTLY
from the 8th
of April (the 18th
degree of Aries) - the first day of the writing of “The Book of the
Law” in 1904, directly through the centre of the Zodiac Wheel, to 12th
of October (the 19-th
degree of Libra) - which is Crowley's birth-date in 1875 !!!
It makes also perfect logical sense that the “The Book of the Law” of the Axis (which manifested
itself in the sign of Aries) comes directly from the constellation of Libra, (the Zodiac sign of Law
and Justice). The reason for “The Book of the Law” manifesting in the sign of Aries may be in the
fact that this first Spring sign is the most energetic sign of them all, while Libra assures him that
this energy is well balanced by her Scales. Thus, and clearly, God's influence was, and is, at its
optimum upon this Axis. Perhaps another conclusion could be drawn out of this analysis, and that
is that God is a great mathematician, or, to be more precise geometrician. There are no “mistakes”
in the Universe which he hath created, as can be vividly seen upon William Blake’s famous
painting where “God measures the Space” with a compasses.
30
31. 16
And how is the Axis of the Universe presented in Yi Jing or “The Book of Changes” ?
It is mentioned in an directly symbolical manner which we can accept as a sort of a general
philosophical view, in Hexagram 34 – “The Great Force” (of Ram, Aries), (as Crowley confirmed
31
32. in his table of correspondences “Liber 777”), line 4, clearly states that there is “great power present
in the "Axis of the Wheel".
Also the verse (II, 3) from "Liber Al" confirms this some 3 thousand years later: "In the
sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found."
Upon the Axis of the Universe, we will notice that (the position of) M-16 is protected by the
following constellations: Ophiuchus (from the "front"), Scutum (The Shield) and being “within”
Aquila (The Eagle) makes him even more distinct. From the "back" M 16 is protected by
Sagittarius (on the "left"), and Serpens Cauda on the "right". According to Crowley, Serpens
Cauda, the tail of the Serpent, (or Cauda Draconis - The Dragon's Tail), should be good 17
for completing things. In “Yi Jing”, (Hexagram 24 is entitled “The return”, and brings good
Fortune and thus turns the(bad) Fate (Nemesis) into a positive Destiny.
VISUAL PRESENTATION OF THE TAROT TRUMPS OF TO MEGA THERION AND
THERION ARIES-LIBRA
32
34. 4,4. DAREDEVIL
It is the tradition of the Maguses that each of us creates (or introduces) his own picture Tarot
Card of "The Devil". I shall only mention Eliphas Levi's "Baphomet" and Crowley-Harris's "The
Devil", then I am glad to present the new Devil image, created by the "Marvel" writer Stan Lee
and artist Bill Everett in 1964 - Daredevil. This card has a special tradition in the Occult history,
especially since the Templar Knights introduced it to Europe, upon returning from the Crusades.
There, in the Middle East, where civilization begun, they, the defenders of Jerusalem had come
upon an ancient mystery - the secret of Baphomet, the Devil.
As God symbolizes the Will to Live, and know all things, so Satan symbolizes the Man's Will to be
Free (see William Blake's painting "Lucifer raising the Angels into rebellion"). Perhaps they had
discovered one of the secrets of this symbol, the one in which an adept realizes that Christ himself
was born in the zodiac sign of Capricorn, the Devil, and that he was in fact a serious revolutionary
against tyranny of the Roman regime, and not some mild lamb, as the Roman Catholic Church
sometimes tries to present him. He was the “Devil” for the tyranny of his time.
18
The new Trump further breaks with the superstition of the symbol, "Daredevil" being Stan Lee’s
Marvel super-hero, known as the "man without fear". In the artistic sense this new card is not in
discord with the Crowley-Harris paintings, but the truth is rather that the whole of aesthetics of the
super-heroes is a continuation of the basis set in the Crowley-Harris pack, especially if we but look
at Atu 0. "The Fool" & VIII "Adjustment", showing that the Thoth Tarot pack (1938-1943) was
way ahead of its time. Like most of the super-heroes, Daredevil has a double identity. In public,
34
35. civilian life, he is a "blind" lawyer Matt Murdock, and in his secret, action life, he is de facto 666.

36. 5. DISCUSSION
5,1. ABOUT THE SCRIBE OF THE GODS - ALEISTER CROWLEY
Aleister Crowley (Oct. 12th
1875 - Dec. 1st
1947), was the most famous English magician of the
20-th Century, a distinguished writer, adventurer, Prophet of the New Age, the first Western
alpinist to tackle the World’s most dangerous mountain - K2 in the Himalayas, a brilliant chess
player, a chemist educated at Cambridge, a man of too many talents to be numbered here...
Crowley was born in 1875, and soon rejected the hypocritical moral of Victorian life, and the
fanatical Christian piety of his parents. His mother called him "The Beast of Apocalypse”, a title
he later accepted, and proclaimed himself a saint of the Gnostic Church, becoming a God in his
own temple on Sicily in 1921, at the age of forty-five. His preoccupation with the theme of
producing a magical child, or heir, derives from "The Book of the Law" (or “Liber Al vel Legis”)
which he received from an extra-terrestrial Intelligence on April 8-th, 9-th & 10-th in 19O4, in a
hotel room in Cairo, where he and his wife Rose Kelly were on their honey-moon. This being,
which called itself Aiwass, (in fact a mysterious Man in black), remained - so far as Crowley was
concerned - a subtle presence manifesting often in the flesh at times when occasion demanded.
36
37. It was Crowley's dream that a ray, a spark even, of this vast Intelligence, should manifest in a child
engendered by himself on the "Scarlet Woman" duly appointed as his mate in "The Book of
the Law", where it is prophesied and described as “a child mightier than all the kings of the
earth”. Crowley will certainly be used by future artists as a vehicle for revolutionary ideas.
His 1917 novel "Moonchild" was in advance of its time; its central idea - the magical creation
of different orders of being - is only now being seriously considered as a scientific possibility.

5,2. AIWASS: THE AUTHOR OF “THE BOOK OF THE LAW”
A word or two should be said about the mysterious author, the one who dictated the "Book
of The Law" to the scribe Aleister Crowley. Although Crowley’s writings in most areas of
Magick and Mystycism are usually extensive and loquacious, the mystery about AIWASS
remains meagre, as any true mystery should be. Aiwass - the Man in Black is described on
a few rare and precious occasions. The initial contact, of course, derives from that very events
in April 19O4.
In his "Comments to Liber Al", Crowley wrote: (III, 19): "There is a being called Aiwaz (another
spelling for Aiwass), an intelligence discarnate, who wrote this "Book of the Law", using my ears
and hand. His mind is certainly superior to my own in knowledge and in power, for he has
dominated me and taught me ever since."
19
The prophet describes this in his book "The Equinox of the Gods": "The voice of Aiwass came
apparently from over my left shoulder, from the furthest corner of the room. I had a strong
impression that the speaker was actually in the corner where he seemed to be, in a body of "fine
matter", transparent as a veil of gauze, or a cloud of incense-smoke. He seemed to be a dark man
in his thirties, well-knit, active and strong, with a face of a savage king, and eyes veiled lest their
gaze should destroy what they saw. I am now inclined to believe that Aiwass is not only the God
or Demon or Devil once held holy in Sumeria, and mine own Guardian Angel, but also a man as I
37
38. am, insofar as he uses a human body to make his magical link with Mankind, whom he loves, and
that he is thus an Ipsissimus, the Head of the A.A. I do not necessarily mean that he is a member
of human society in quite a normal way. He might rather be able to form for himself a human
body as circumstances indicate, from the appropriate Elements, and dissolve it when the occasion
for its use is past. I have been permitted to see Him in recent years in a variety of physical
appearances, all equally "material" in the sense in which my own body is so..."
Surprisingly or not, this description of Aiwass - the Man, was confirmed by the Scarlet
Woman Alostrael (Leah Hirsig) during the Magickal astral visions, at the abbey of Thelema on
Cefaly, Sicily, in 192O:
"Aiwass is a mysterious human – like figure. He is a small
black figure hiding among rocks.”
I told her to accept this, as there is None beside Him. "Ask Aiwass !
Manifest, be content with none other," instructed the Beast.
"He stands on a cliff... She goes to him... He's in a black robe,
short, and wears a round black hat..."
"Go to Him ! " cried the Beast. The Scarlet Woman continues: "He's stripped”.
Fine, strong body, long, oval face, close-shaven. He takes the Beast's form.
Alostrael rides upon the phantom, interprets Crowley.
The Scarlet Woman sees a doorway, goes through, turns to the
right, climbs a flight of stairs, enters a wide room with an archway
at the far end.
"Is Aiwass there ?" "Yes," replies Alostrael. "He is sitting on the
floor, dressed in black."
Somnolently she tells him what she sees: "Outlines...birds, flowers,...,stars, lamps, et cetera."
"Invoke Aiwass," he urges, "reject everything but Aiwass," instructed the Beast. Then the
mighty arm of Aiwass sweeps across the vision, hurling everything away till nothing
remained but this enormous swinging arm.
“The Book of the Law" ends with a solemn Amen named ABRAHADABRA, but every new
reading of it proves over and over again its wisdom and prophetic cunning, the knowledge and
power of its author as of a being of a degree beyond all human degrees and intelligence &
knowledge possessed beyond any man. He therefore propounds a riddle about the word
Abrahadabra, suggesting a secret way of pronouncing it which, when found, will give new life, a
new circle of life of a higher order, to the Soul of the word (& world). I expound this riddle
elsewhere." As for the word Omen, which spelled backwards is Nemo, the title of the Master of
the Temple.
Thus, it is most probable that Aiwass, the Man in black, will remain a mystery, or, perhaps,
become a legend.

40. 5,3. THE SPHINX, THE AEON
The SPHINX represents one of the three (Indian) "Gunas", or basic elements:
- the "Guna" called Sattvas, symbolized by the Alchemical element Sulphur, which stands for the
basic elements The Holy Spirit and Fire (Atu XX - "The Aeon", on the 31-st Path). As the great
Indian Master Patanjali explains, the name Sattvas derives from the root "AS" - "To Be", implying
the state of mind which symbolizes Life, calmness, intelligence, lucidity and balance. Its function is
to prevent the Wheel of Fortune from turning, a stable state of mind which the Yogi achieves in the
trance called Samadhi, thus himself becoming a "Bodysattvas", or living God.
Here, then, is the final answer to the ultimate Shakespearean dilemma: "To be, or not to be ?"
The answer given by Patanjali a few thousand years ago is "To be", by the way of becoming the
Sphinx. The fourfold nature of the Sphinx may be further studied in Crowley's comment to the
Trump X. Fortune in "The Book of Thoth".
When Crowley speaks about the Magick Cup in his "Book 4", he says "that this Magickal
"weapon" represents the three principles of the Moon, the Sun, and Fire, the three principles which,
according to the Hindus, have Course in the body. These "principles" are seen by the adept when he
succeeds in stilling his mind. This is so marvellous an experience, even for one who has pushed
astral visions to a very high point, that he may mistake them for the End.
“The Aeon” is the most important of all the Cards in the Crowley-Harris Thoth Tarot pack, for it
represents the double God of this Aeon Horus (Ra-Hoor Khuit in his extraverted form and Hoor-pa-
kraat in his passive or introverted form). It is the Trump of the element of fire, but also the Hebrew
letter Shin stands for the Holy Spirit. 20
The card is a prophesy of a definite decision regarding the past, a new beginning, taking a definite
step, new start, new way in the New Aeon.

41. 5,4. THE EXTRA - TERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCES IN RELATION TO
“AREA 51”
We are not alone. Of course, we are not alone, no one ever is alone. The reader is warned on
The fact that the Universe is too vast not to be filled with life in this form, or another: For decades,
or even centuries, the UFO contacts, the so-called "close encounters", have been reported and
registered by sober people - pilots, scientists, astronauts or just common people from all around the
globe. It is better if we face reality that we are not the only planet with life and intelligent
beings in this gigantic Cosmos. How can anyone even think that our Sun is the only star
among the 5OO billion Stars in our Milky Way Galaxy, that has a planet with living beings upon
its surface. Is such an opinion the result of man's vanity, which even a few centuries ago thought
that the Sun circles the Earth. Perhaps we are too egoistical to admit that these beings are
different from us, that some of them they have learned to live in peace with their equals, and
are centuries ahead of us in civilization development...
“We all know that UFOs are real. All we need to ask is where do they come from, and what they
want” – Apollo 14 Astronaut Capt. Edgar Mitchell.
The famous Space scientist Carl Sagan says: "Perhaps on numerous planets civilizations evolve
which are not firm enough to survive their technology and are destroyed by greed, ignorance,
nature pollution and numerous wars. This is the doom which awaits us also, if we do not
consider ourselves to be otherwise. If Spacemen pick up our radio and TV waves, they
are reached by news of wars, crime, poverty, hostages, religious disputes, conflicts, and
advertisements for pills against headache. In short – the state of the spiritual level of our
planet. They might just stop here, and think about us, but seeing that the state of the
“humanity” is, or fly onwards because we are not far advanced from the cavemen or even
interesting for them. Or, perhaps, they observe us with interest, as we would observe bacteria
in a nourishing solution, to see if we will avoid self-destruction this year. Perhaps some of
them are so far ahead of us as we are from the stone-age man."
Of course, our hospitality should only apply to the friendly visitors, those who respect the Law
of the Freedom, and come in peace. The race or races which come here to conquer, abduct
people to make experiments on them, or to attempt to exterminate humanity, are not welcome,
and will be repelled with utmost determination with all available methods and means, hopefully
with the help of the good extra-terrestrial, the members of the Space Federation. The
Invaders, the "Grey Articulants" and others with similar expectations will face a United
Globular defence, and will have to begin respecting the Law of The Universe “Liber Al vel
Legis”. Even if they are "technically" advanced compared to us, the same Natural Laws apply
to them, and this is the key of our victory. To secure this victory, we must also first make
our own planet safe, virtuous and united.
6. CONCLUSION
The discovery of the Cosmic God in the Universe offers us a historical opportunity to build a new,
higher civilization, in which the World will be a united, peaceful, organized, and harmonious
entity, based on the principles of the correct Law, the principles of Liberty, Love, Light and
Life. Once the foolish and ridiculous misunderstandings between various religions are cleared,
there will be an ending of the wars. When the genetic scientists achieve their task, Mankind
will be able to advance on the path of evolution, from Homo sapiens to a higher level of
existence.
It is for these purposes that this “Theory” has been written, and it is my sincere hope that it
will be used in the best manner possible, for the benefit of all who become worthy to partake in
41
42. this sacrament. By adjusting to the standards of the Holy Law, we will accept the highly civilized
level of relations in the Interstellar Federation , and at last, become ready to join the great
Brotherhood of the Galaxy...
Love is the law, love under Will

43. Part II: THE TABLE OF CORRESPONDENCES
A, I. INTRODUCTION:
Crowley's "Book 777" brought us the elaborate table of Magickal and Divine
correspondences, including Gods of various pantheons, Tarot Cards, planets, elements etc.
This Book presented the Crown of Crowley’s Occult knowledge in the period of the
Equinox of the Gods. The New Aeon, now well upon its way, presents "Liber Universal", the
New table of correspondences in its basic elements, a result of further knowledge of
Cabbala & the Chinese philosophy (Yi Jing) in Horus's Era.
Aleister Crowley - To Mega Therion: “Little Essays Toward Truth”: “It follows that
all phenomena, internal and external, may be classified for the purpose of discussing their
observed relations, in any manner which experience may show to be the most convenient.
(Elaborate classifications of science, chemical, physical, etc., etc.,). Therefore, despite the
danger of vagueness involved in the use of a system whose terms are largely symbolic, I
have, for many reasons, preferred to present to the world as an international basis for
classification, the classico-mathematical system which is vulgarly and erroneously (though
conveniently) called the Quabalah.”
This, finalised table of correspondences actually completes Crowley's mission, which was
to unite the Western Magical tradition (Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek, Roman) with the exalted
systems of the East (Chinese, Buddhist, Hindu), into one united and superior functioning
system.
21
The TAROT is a Pictorial representation of the Forces of Nature as conceived by the Ancients
according to a conventional symbolism.
“YI JING” or “The Book of Changes” is a more than 3000 years old Chinese method of
divination and prophesy of past, present and future events, based on the observation on nature
and man’s life, the interactions of general laws and individual behaviour, free will and destiny,
where Time is an essential factor.
Crowley ran out of time in his previous incarnation, to finish placing all of the 78 Tarot Cards
attributions upon all of the 64 Hexagrams, and vice-versa. He managed only to determine
where the 16 Court Cards and a few of the Small Cards should stand in the "Yi Jing" system
and upon the map of the Astrological map of the Universe (Zodiac) - the Shemhamphorash.
This work has been completed now, and all of the remaining Hexagrams are now placed upon
the 12 Zodiac constellation Trumps, and the 36 outer circle Small Cards. Thus, 16 Court cards +
12 Major arcanas + 36 small cards= 64 Hexagrams.
Also, 8 of the Trigrammes have been placed upon the 8 planetary Trump positions, while the 4
“double” symbols remained in the inner circle. The four double-line combinations are thus
placed upon the four Aces of the inner circle which is Kether, the realm of Pluto.
22
Crowley’s definition of MAN from “Little Essays Toward Truth: “Man is a microcosm: that is,
an image (concentrated around the point of consciousness) of the macrocosm or Universe.
This Theorem is guaranteed by the hypo-idealistic demonstration that the perceptible
43
44. Universe is an extension, or phantasm of the nervous system.”
In this way the coordination between the "Yi Jing" and the Tarot, has been harmonized into a
united, synchronous system of all possible situations and events. The basically identical
Hexagrams and Tarot Cards were merged without much problem. There are a few easier cases
in the coordination, sometimes even bearing the same name, but there were some difficulties
with some of the Small Cards, until finally the "zipper like" pattern fitted to its maximum
possible accuracy. The very process of atonement was, of course, bilateral.
The problems which arose with some of the Small cards, were due to the fact that sometimes
the basic texts of the Hexagrams was in relative contradiction with some of the changeable
lines. Thus, in a few cases, the Small card had to be placed on the Hexagram according to
some changeable line, or a few lines, if the contradiction with the basic Hexagram was not too
large.
Anyhow, my opinion is that the united system works, revealing newly discovered similarities
between the two various geographical" Magick systems, the “Euro-Egyptian” and “Chinese”,
composing a single united one for the first time in human history...

50. A,3. COMMENTARY TO EACH “TAROT”- “YI JING” ATTRIBUTION
1. O. THE FOOL has no Chinese Attribution. Element: Air, Hebrew letter Aleph.
50
51. 2. I. THE MAGUS has no Chinese Attribution. Planet Mercury, Hebrew letter Beth.
3. II. THE PRIESTESS has no Chinese Attribution. Planet: The Moon, letter Gimel.
4. III. THE EMPRESS has no Chinese Attribution. Planet Venus, letter Dalet, the Gate.
5. IV. THE EMPEROR has the Chinese Attribution of Hexagram 34. ALLMIGHTY POWER
or the Power of Great One. ”The Book of Thoth”: This card refers to the sign of Aries in the
Zodiac. This figure is the alchemical symbol of Sulphur. Sulphur is the male fiery energy of
the Universe, or Rajas of Hindu philosophy. This is the swift creative energy, the initiative of
all Being. I have attributed this card to Hexagram 34, GREAT POWER (of the)ALLMIGHTY
which speaks of the use of the Ram, both in positive and negative aspects, although the card
has a mostly positive side to it.
6. V. THE HIEROPHANT. I have united this card, which has the general meaning of a “strong
and balanced form” of Taurus (“The Book of Thoth”), with Hexagram 16 which is called
CALMNESS or Tranquillity. “Yi Jing”: ”Calmness brings benefit to those builders of Earth
and the commanders of the Army”. Thus, the card and the hexagram are practically identical
in meaning and naturally attributed to each other.
7. VI. THE LOVERS. Another “bull’s eye”. I have attributed this Trump to the Hexagram of an
identical name and meaning: Hex.13. THE LOVERS, Friends, Worldly Brotherhood,
Identification with People. “The Book of Thoth”: “Atu VI refers to Gemini, ruled by
Mercury. It means the Twins (or Brothers).
8. VII. THE CHARIOT: “The only function of the Charioteer is to bear the Holy Grail., which
is the central and most important feature of the card-its centre. It is of pure amethyst, of the
colour of Jupiter, but its shape suggests the full moon and the Great Sea of Binah. This is
why I have attributed this Cancer card to Hexagram 50 – the SACRIFICIAL CAULDRON
which, according to “JI YING”: ”Symbolizes great fortune and success.”
9. VIII: ADJUSTMENT: “The Book of Thoth”: ”This card in the old pack was called Justice.
The Trump represents the sign of Libra, ruled by Venus. The equilibrium of all things is
symbolized herby. Thus I have attributed this card to its adequate Hexagram 21.
JUDGEMENTS (Biting through):”Biting through successfully is useful in exercising
justice”.
10. IX: THE HERMIT. ”The Book of Thoth”: The highest symbolism of this card is Fertility in
its most exalted sense, and this is reflected in the attribution of the card of Virgo, which
is another aspect of the same quality. In this Trump is shown the entire mystery of Life in its
most secret workings. Yod=Phallus=Spermatozoon=Hand=Logos=Virgin. There is perfect
Identity, not merely Equivalence of the Extremes, the Manifestation, and the Method.
Thus I have attributed this Atu card to Hexagram 44. SEXUAL ENCOUNTER (Abstinence),
CARNAL MEETING: ”If a woman is strong in a meeting, do not try to marry her. Women
posess power.” To me the equivalence of both the card and the Hexagram seems clear
51
52. enough to identify them from the point of the idea of sexual abstinence.
11. X. THE FORTUNE: This Trump is in the fourth circle of Shemhamphorash where there are
no Chinese Attributions.
12. XI.LUST: ”The Book of Thoth”: ”This Trump was formerly called Strength. But it implies far
more than strength in the ordinary sense of the word. Lust implies not only strength, but the
joy of strength exercised. It is vigour, and the rapture of vigour. This Trump is assigned to the
sign of Leo in the Zodiac. It is the most powerful of the twelve Zodiac cards, and it represents
the most critical of all the operations of magick and alchemy.”
This is the reason why I have attributed it to Hexagram 10. BEHAVIOUR(Tiger, Treading,
Satisfied, Joyfull). “The Book of Thoth”: ”It represents the act of the original marriage as it
occurs in nature, as opposed to the most artificial form portrayed in Atu VI.” “Yi Jing”: To
tread on a tiger’s tail without getting bitten by the tiger, to get through successfully it is
advantageous to be steady. Treading means flexibility treading on hardness. It is joyful
response to the creativity of heaven, so one can tread on a tiger’s tail without the tiger biting,
getting through successfully.” Also: Treading on air-an orgasm.
13.XII. THE HANGED MAN has no Chinese Attribution. It is Christ’s symbol of crucifiction.
14.XIII DEATH. “The Book of Thoth”: This card is attributed to the letter Nun, which means
“fish”; the symbol of life beneath the waters, life travelling through the waters. It refers to the
Zodiacal sign of Scorpio, which is ruled by Mars, the planet of fiery energy in its lowest form,
which is therefore necessary to provide the impulse. Thus, I have attributed this card to
Hexagram 29. THE ABYSS (Pitfalls), which also pertains to the Abyss, the non-existant
“Sephirot” Daath and the 10-th Aethyr of Enochian Magick. “Yi Jing”: “When there is an abyss
over an abyss, if it has sincerity the thinking mind gets through successfully, and the activity
has value”. In this card are represented “the essential types of putrefaction” putrefaction being
the process of being “bound with rope and put in a brier patch” as in the lines of this dangerous
Hexagram.
15.XIV. ART. “The Book of Thoth”: This card pertains to Sagittarius and represents the
Consummation of the Royal Marriage which took place in Atu VI(The Lovers). The black
and white persona are now united in a single androgyne figure. The equilibrium and
counter-change are carried out completely in the figure itself; the white woman has now a
black head; the black king, a white one.” Since there is on this Trump visualized the alchemical
process of uniting opposites in a cauldron where “the fire burns up the water, and the water
extinguishes the fire”, I have attributed this Trump to Hexagram 38 of an appropriate name and
meaning-OPPOSITES (Opposition). Yi Jing: ”In opposition, fire moves upward and water
moves downward. Sky and Earth are opposites, yet their work is the same; males and females
are opposite, yet their wills commune. But when joy and beauty unite - what brilliance “
16. XV.THE DEVIL: ”The Book of Thoth”: This card is attributed to the letter Ayin, which
Means “an Eye”, and it refers to the sign of Capricornus in the Zodiac. This Trump especially
52
53. represents the masculine energy at its most masculine.” (See that upon the Atu, there is a
phallus and a “gathering” of souls in the testacies. This is why I have attributed this Trump to
Hexagram.45 GATHERING. Yi Jing: ”Gathering leads to success; the king goes to his shrine.
It is worthwhile seeing great people to attain success.” It is gathering of energy and matter
inwardly and outwards.
17. XVI.THE TOWER has no Chinese attribution. The Tarot Trump pertains to planet Mars and
symbolizes the collapse of every society which is based on oppression.
18. XVII:THE STAR. ”The Book of Thoth: ”This Trump is attributed to the letter He, as has
been explained elsewhere (Tzadee is not a Star). It refers to the Zodiacal sign of Aquarius, the
water-bearer. The picture represents Nuit, our Lady of the Stars. For this see the first chapter
of “The Book of the Law”. Thus it is the picture of the feminine in its most physical form,
and I have attributed this card to Hexagram 30. THE COW. Yi Jing: ”Flaming beauty. It is
good luck to raise cows, the gentle creatures. This is used as a symbol of good fortune.”
19. XVIII:THE MOON: ”The Book of Thoth”: This Trump is attributed to the letter Qoph,
which represents Piesces in the Zodiac. This is the threshold of life; this is the threshold of
death. This is the waning moon, the moon of witchcraft and abominable deeds. She is the
poisoned darkness which is the condition of the rebirth of light.” This card shows the “dark
night of the soul”, the crisis of accomplishing anything, and that is why I have attributed it to
Hexagram 64, UNFINISHED. “Yi Jing”: The unfinished being carried out is a small fox
which has almost finished making a crossing; if it gets its head wet, nothing is profited.”
This Hexagram is mostly unfortunate, except if a changeable line slightly alters the result.
20. XIX.THE SUN has no Chinese attribution. Planet: The Sun, Hebrew letter Resh.
21. XX. THE AEON has no Chinese attribution. Element of Fire and Holy spirit, letter Shin.
22. XXI: THE UNIVERSE has no Chinese attribution. Planet Saturn, letter Tau, the Cross.

39. ACE OF WANDS. Since there is no appropriate Hexagram, I have attributed this small
Fire-Fire (Sky-Sky) card to the symbol of the GREAT YANG.
40. 2 OF WANDS-DOMINION. I have attributed this small card to Hexagram 1.
CREATIVITY. “The Book of Thoth”: This card, pertaining to Sephirot Chokmah in the
suit of Fire, represents the Will in its most exalted form. It is an ideal Will, independent
of any given object. The background of this card shows the power of the planet Mars in
his own sign Aries, the first of the Zodiac signs. It therefore represents Energy initiating a
current of Force. Six flames issue from the centre. This indicates the influence of the Sun,
who is exalted in Aries. This is the creative Will. Thus, Hexagram 1. CREATIVE. “Yi
Jing”: Vast indeed is the scope of the greatness of the creative basis. All things and all
beings originate from it, so it sums up the totality of Nature. The evolutionary
developments of the Way of the Creative each straighten out essential life and preserve
overall harmony intact. This is what benefits the upright and true. When it emerges to lead
the people, all countries are peaceful.”
54
55. 41. 3 OF WANDS- VIRTUE. “The Book of Thoth”: ”In the YI Jing, Sol in Aries is
represented by the 11-th Hexagram, Thai-PEACE; its meaning is harmonious, for this is
the beginning of Spring”. Commentary: This is one of the few attributions which
Crowley made to the small cards of the Tarot. Thus, Hexagram 11. PEACE (Tranquility).
The importance of this card is omnipotent, for the Axis of the Universe runs through it,
Exactly on the first day of the writing of “The Book of the Law”(8-th of April=18-th
Degree of Aries; & 9th
& 10th
April 1904 )!
42. 4 OF WANDS-COMPLETITION. “The Book of Thoth”: “The original Will of the Two
has been transmitted through the Three, and is now built up into a solid system:-Order,
Law, Government. It is also referred to Venus in Aries, which indicates that one cannot
establish one’s work without tact and gentleness. For this reasons, I have attributed this
card to Hexagram 26. THE GREAT DEFENDER (Great Buildup). “Yi Jing”: “The
Great Defender inspires firm strength and earnest genuineness, with shining light daily
renewed. It is worthwhile crossing great rivers, in response to Nature.” The Great
Defender is of course the Order, Law and Government.
43. 5 OF WANDS-STRIFE. “The Book of Thoth”: “This card is referred to Geburah of the
suit of Fire. Geburah itself being fiery, it is a purely active force. It is ruled also by
Saturn and Leo. Leo shows the element of Fire at its strongest and most balanced. The
Symbol represents the Wand of the Chief Adept, showing that the authority is derived
from the superiors; were it not so, this card would be thoroughly disastrous.” For
These reasons I have attributed this card to Hexagram 7. THE ARMY:”Yi Jing”: “If an
55
56. army is to be upright, it is auspicious to have mature people, then there is no blame.
Those who are able to employ groups correctly can thereby become leaders when
Strength is centred it is responsive; action in dangerous straits is obedient.”
44. 6 OF WANDS-VICTORY: ”The Book of Thoth”: This card represents Tiphereth of the
suit of Fire. This shows Energy in completely balanced manifestation. The reference
is also to Jupiter and Leo, which seems to imply a benediction on the harmony and
beauty of this arrangement. This shows the stabilization of the Energy, and its
reception and reflection by the Feminine. “ For this reason I have attributed this card
to Hexagram 35. ADVANCE (ASCEND). YI Jing: ”Advancing, a secure lord uses
gift horses in abundance, and holds meetings three times a day. Advance means
progress, symbolized by light emerging over the earth, docilely cleaving to great
illumination. Through flexibility there is progress and upward movement.”
45. 7 OF WANDS-VALOUR:”The Book of Thoth”: The pictorial representation shows
the fixed and balanced wands of the last card relegated to the background,
diminished, and become commonplace”. I have attributed this card to Hexagram 46.
RISING, as Valour is appropriate to it. “Yi Jing”: “Rising is a great success, thereby
you will see great people, so do not worry. An expedition south bodies well.”
46. 8 OF WANDS-SWIFTNESS: ”The Book of Thoth”: ”The card belongs to Sagittarius
which represents the subtilizing of the Fiery energy and also refers to Hod,
splendour, in the suit of Fire, whence it refers to the phenomena of speech, light,
electricity. This card, therefore, represents energy of high velocity, such as furnishes
