00:00:00True it is, without falsehood certain and most true, that that which is above is like
00:00:16to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above, to accomplish
00:00:25the miracles of one thing.
00:00:29And as all things were by the contemplation of one, so all things arose from this one
00:00:36thing by a single act of adaption.
00:00:40The father thereof is the sun, the mother the moon, the wind carried it in its womb,
00:00:48the earth is the nurse thereof.
00:00:51It is the father of all works of wonder throughout the whole world.
00:00:56The power thereof is perfect.
00:00:58If it be cast to earth, it will separate the element of earth from that of fire, the subtle
00:01:05from the gross.
00:01:07With great sagacity it doth descend to earth, and uniteth in itself the force from things
00:01:13superior and things inferior.
00:01:17Thus thou wilt possess the glory of the brightness of the whole world, and all obscurity will
00:01:24fly far from thee.
00:01:26This thing is the strong fortitude of all strength, for it overcometh every subtle thing,
00:01:33and doth penetrate every solid substance.
00:01:37Thus was this world created.
00:01:41Hence there will be marvellous adaptions achieved, of which the manner is this.
00:01:46And for this reason I am called Herbes Trismegistus, because I hold three parts of the wisdom of
00:01:54the whole world, and that which I had to say about the operation of Saul is completed.
00:02:11Hidden deep in a national forest, located in Southern California, is the secluded headquarters
00:02:41of the Church of the Hermetic Sciences.
00:02:44We named our rustic estate Rivendell, after the woodland home of the elves, described
00:02:49in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy classic, Lord of the Rings, and, as you can see, our Rivendell
00:02:56certainly evokes that image.
00:02:59What better place could we have found to research, teach, and practice the ancient rites of magic?
00:03:06Hermetic magic is our own English and European cultural tradition of shamanism and seership.
00:03:13It is the magic of King Solomon of Berlin, of Nostradamus and Count Coleostro.
00:03:20It has been called sorcery, necromancy, and black magic by those who do not understand
00:03:26it, and yet it is also known as the art of kings, and the secret science of the philosophers.
00:03:35Here at Rivendell, we have everything necessary to pursue the study and the practical application
00:03:41of this ultimate human adventure.
00:03:44We have an outdoor henge for seasonal ceremonies, an indoor temple for magical rites, an astronomical
00:03:51observatory to view the heavens, and a hermitage for retreats, lectures, and fellowship.
00:03:58Come inside with me now, and together we will lift the veil obscuring this ancient art of
00:04:04wizardry.
00:04:07Welcome to the Church of the Hermetic Sciences and the Order of the Temple of Astarte.
00:04:13In the outer world, I'm known as Polk Runyon, but here, in the inner world of the Rivendell
00:04:19Hermitage, I'm the Archimage Frater Fabian, your host and guide on a tour of the wonderful
00:04:28world of hermetic magic.
00:04:31Hermetic magic is an art, a philosophy, and a very ancient and powerful religion.
00:04:37Yes, a religion, but with an essential difference from other religions, where they depend upon
00:04:45faith for their salvation, we seek the wisdom and power of the Gnosis.
00:04:53Know yourself, for in your temple, you are one with the gods.
00:04:59In our two previous videos, The Magic of Solomon and The Dark Mirror of Magic, we emphasized
00:05:06the techniques of evocation and invocation. That's summoning spirits to visible appearance
00:05:14and calling down angels to converse with them. Now, in some ways, this is putting the cart
00:05:20before the horse, because there's a lot more to the philosophy and practice of magic
00:05:27than these two methods.
00:05:29In this production, we're going to give you a broader perspective. We'll cover hermetic
00:05:34magical yoga, path workings, seasonal ceremonies, the mystical Eucharist, and the Enochian Aether
00:05:43system.
00:05:51Let us begin by establishing the magical universe within ourselves through the process of hermetic
00:06:05magical yoga.
00:06:09When I first began my study of magic back in 1968, I was impressed with the Tibetan
00:06:15system of tantric yoga, as described in the series of books edited by W. Evans Wentz.
00:06:23I soon realized that the modern European magus, Franz Barden, and the British magician, Aleister
00:06:31Crowley, had both incorporated Eastern yoga techniques into Western magic, but they had
00:06:38both stopped short of adapting the most important Eastern yoga system to Western practice, that
00:06:45of the straight-line spinal chakra system.
00:06:49Neither Barden nor Crowley could overcome the differences between this Indian tantric
00:06:55configuration and the three-pillared Western tree of life, even though the ancient caduceus
00:07:02of Hermes was a major clue, along with the Renaissance hermetic mystic Johann Gitchell's
00:07:08drawing of a Western hermetic chakra arrangement back in 1696. And the lightning flash or flaming
00:07:16sword on the tree of life itself is also an obvious clue.
00:07:22But we still should not fault Barden and Crowley over much for failing to realize and develop
00:07:28this vital secret, because in the latter half of the 20th century, after Barden and
00:07:35Crowley had both died, Tibetan exiles began to teach selected Western students the inner
00:07:43secrets of their magic. Now those of us who were fortunate enough to sit at the feet of
00:07:48Tibetan gurus and learn their tantras firsthand soon discovered that there were different
00:07:55chakra systems for each deity we invoked. The previous notion that all Eastern chakra
00:08:02arrangements were the same, and had been that way for thousands of years, was just simply
00:08:08not true. Along with this revelation, it is equally important to note that magical color
00:08:15is what we actively impose upon the inner planes, not what we passively observe when
00:08:23we scribe. Therefore, our chakras can conform to our own Kabbalistic color scales.
00:08:32In our case, my year of study and practice with the Sakya Order of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism,
00:08:38under the tutelage of the late Lüding Ken Rinpoche, confirmed for me the validity of
00:08:46this Western Kabbalistic chakra system we had first developed in 1975 and published
00:08:55back in 1977. We have since gone on to perfect a master ritual in which all our ancient pantheon
00:09:04of Phoenician gods indwell in the Kabbalistic spheres within the body of the magician. Within
00:09:12the Mystic Rose and Fire Opal Jewel of Hod, we enter the alchemical laboratory of Kothar,
00:09:23the ancient Phoenician predecessor of Tubal Cain. Within the Mystic Rose and Emerald Jewel
00:09:33of Netzach, we come into the presence of the Goddess Astarte, adorned with all the jewels
00:09:41of the Hermetic Cosmos. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this development. This Kabbalistic
00:09:49chakra arrangement is certainly a significant advance in Western magic. It goes far beyond
00:09:57the Golden Dawn's middle pillar exercise, providing inner wellsprings of power for every
00:10:03magical operation, for the creation of the body of light, and for the ultimate mystical
00:10:11experience of merger with the Godhead. At present, we are the only esoteric group in
00:10:18the Western world employing and teaching this system.
00:10:41There are other ways of entering this hidden magical universe. Following the Hermetic principle
00:11:00of as above, so below, as within, so without, we have again combined the best of Western
00:11:08and Eastern methods in our path-working system. Some people might call this technique astral
00:11:15travel. We prefer the term inner plane projection. In 1971, our late frater Apollonius, known
00:11:24in the outer world as John Brooks, a former student of Sikhsant Guru Kripal Singh, conducted
00:11:31us on a hypnotic journey into a magical realm of surpassing wonders and deep wisdom.
00:11:39The key element of this path-working system is its symbolic attention points, guideposts
00:11:46along the way from which the traveler receives special knowledge for himself or herself alone.
00:11:53Therefore, this transforms what might otherwise be only a deep trance reverie into a true
00:12:01initiation. We cabalized Kripal Singh's Eastern cosmos, and we added the Golden Dawn's own
00:12:10Eastern import, the elemental tatwa symbols, as doorways in the center of our great dark
00:12:18mirror.
00:12:22Come with us now as we venture along the 32nd path on our journey to the sphere of Yasod,
00:12:30the storehouse of memories, and the entrance to the astral plane. The mirror is suspended
00:12:37in space and time. From within our temple, it opens out upon the vast darkness of the
00:12:45universe. It is a portal between dimensions, the gateway to realms beyond.
00:12:53Temple path-workings are usually done inside the magic circle, with the participants lying
00:13:00in a ground star configuration on their backs, heads together, looking up into a suspended
00:13:07circular convex dark mirror. The appropriate tatwa symbol, in this case Parvati representing
00:13:16the earth element, is placed in the center of the great mirror. The mirror, suspended
00:13:21waist high, also serves as an altar top on which will be placed the symbols relating
00:13:28to the path and the sphere of the working. After a hypnotic induction which renders the
00:13:34physical body inert, the living spirit body is released from the dormant physical form
00:13:41and flies up through the tatwa which serves as an astral doorway leading to the inner
00:13:48realms of the Olam Yetzirah.
00:14:04On the highest point of the ridge line, silhouetted against the glow of the Milky Way, we see
00:14:14the great T-shaped stone dolmen. It stands stark black against the heavenly river of
00:14:21souls. We climb the trail along the ridge crest. It becomes steeper and more precarious
00:14:29as we make our way upward. Finally we reach the top and we stand at the base of the dolmen.
00:14:36A cool sea breeze touches our faces. We look down to a desolate shore and out over a vast
00:14:45knighted seascape. This is the Gulf of Nepesh, that ever dark sea of forgotten dreams and
00:14:53ancient remembrance. The moon is hiding behind a veil of cloud, shrouding the sea of mystery
00:15:00and darkness. We examine the ancient stone dolmen. It is 12 feet high and roughly chiseled
00:15:07from coarse black stone. The six foot long cross member on the top forms the T. There
00:15:14are forged bronze rings set near the ends of the cross. On the upright member there
00:15:20are hand and toe holds and a ledge to stand on. We realize that this dolmen must have
00:15:27been used by shamans of old in a vision quest rite of self-crucifixion, and that we are
00:15:35now here for that purpose ourselves. Each of us in turn will climb up upon this great
00:15:42Tao cross. Now it's your turn, and you climb up to stand on the ledge. Carefully,
00:15:51you move around to face outward. You stretch out your arms in the sign of Osiris, and you
00:15:58grasp the bronze rings. The moon emerges from behind the clouds and bathes the vast seascape
00:16:08beyond in a pale silver light. You have a panoramic view of the shoreline and the gulf.
00:16:15A thousand yards out beyond the surf, a great statue rises out of the dark waters. This
00:16:24is the Colossus of Yesod. Far out on the dark horizon to your left, an orange light flashes
00:16:33from the distant sphere of Hod, and far off to the right, a green spark glimmers from
00:16:41the sphere of Netzach. These distant beacons focus their rays on the crystal atop the Colossus.
00:16:50The crystal shimmers with an electric aura, and suddenly a deep blue ray is projected
00:16:58directly towards you. It engulfs you in a violet-blue field of magnetic energy. Your
00:17:06Yesod chakra is awakened. A rose of nine yellow petals has opened to reveal a glittering violet
00:17:16amethyst. You have thus received the second of the jewels with which you will build your
00:17:23body of light. Remember it always and treasure it well. After we have received our mystical
00:17:31empowerment, we will journey out over the dark gulf to climb the spiral ramp circling
00:17:38the Colossus. We will enter the crystal globe of memory and relive one of our past lives.
00:17:45Following this experience, we will return along our path to the astral doorway that
00:17:51leads us back through the dark mirror and into the temple, where we will awaken from
00:17:57our hypnotic trance, recalling our adventure and the knowledge we have gained.
00:18:15For the magician, his religion is the source of his power. He calls upon God, or the gods,
00:18:22to aid him in his quest for wisdom, inner strength, and enlightenment. But what is the
00:18:30best religion for a magician? Most of us have been raised in one or another of the biblically
00:18:36based faiths, none of which are supportive of the practice of magic. And yet, old King
00:18:44Solomon was deemed to have been the greatest magician of the ages. What was his religion?
00:18:53Judaism? Well, officially perhaps. But I believe that King Solomon's secret religion was the
00:19:03same as Melchizedek's a thousand years earlier. The ancient religion behind the Bible, the
00:19:12oldest religion, the religion of ancient Canaan and Phoenicia, the religion of King Solomon's
00:19:20friend, King Hiram of Tyre, who helped him to build the great temple in Jerusalem, the
00:19:27temple to God. But how did they spell God's name? With such a vision shining out of the
00:19:36mists of time, there came a compulsion to resurrect this ancient magical religion.
00:19:44Before the 1930s discovery of an ancient Canaanite royal library unearthed at Rashomra, dating
00:19:55back to the time of Melchizedek, we had no clear idea of the original magical religion
00:20:02that lay behind our Bible. The Bible relates that the legendary Canaanite priest-king Melchizedek
00:20:09had given the holy sacraments and priestly dispensation to Father Abraham. And in the
00:20:15New Testament, Jesus is said to have been a priest after the order of Melchizedek. Beyond
00:20:22that, we had only the biased accounts of later Hebrew zealots in the Old Testament and equally
00:20:29critical Christian reports from classical times concerning the oldest religion. Before
00:20:34the translations of the recently discovered Rashomra tablets became available in the 1950s,
00:20:42our limited knowledge of the ancient Phoenician mysteries was summed up in such works as James
00:20:48George Frazer's The Golden Bough and Jesse Weston's From Ritual to Romance. Back in
00:20:551969, through the magical medium of the dark mirror, I had contacted the ancient Phoenician
00:21:02goddess Astarte and her consort Prince Baal. I knew that Astarte was the muse of old King
00:21:10Solomon and the inspiration behind his reputation as the greatest magician of the ages. She
00:21:17had inspired him to build a temple for her, and she had inspired us to recreate her religion.
00:21:25Ours was not the first recreation of an ancient pagan seasonal ritual cycle. We were fortunate
00:21:31to have the example of Frederick Adams and Lady Svetlana's Ferraferia to guide us. Their
00:21:37poetic and mystical modern recension of the ancient Greek-Hellucinian mystery festivals
00:21:43marked the beginning of the neo-pagan movement in modern America.
00:21:48We began our yearly seasonal rites performed on the solstices and equinoxes back in 1974.
00:21:56We have performed them four times yearly ever since. Let us return now to 1974, at Montsovat
00:22:04Hermitage in Pasadena, California, when we enacted our first autumn equinox pageant,
00:22:11the Festival of Seven Gates, in which the goddess Astarte descends through seven celestial
00:22:18portals to vanquish Mot, the lord of darkness and death, and resurrect the dead Prince Baal.
00:22:25The actual ceremony was performed at night. What you are watching was a reenactment for
00:22:30the camera filmed in daylight. And though it lacks the drama and mystery of a torchlight
00:22:36performance, we are fortunate to have captured the late pagan elder Joseph Wilson, our Frederick
00:22:42de Jute, and our honored guests, Frederick Adams and Lady Svetlana of Ferraferia.
00:22:49There is more to the symbolism of this ancient seasonal cycle than mere modernization of
00:22:56a Bronze Age agricultural mythology. We are actually dramatizing the primal operations
00:23:02of Hermetic alchemy. In autumn, the goddess bears the life-giving grail down from the
00:23:08holy mountain through the seven gates of the underworld to resurrect the dormant fertility
00:23:13god Baal. This is the origin of the legend of Salovey's Dance of the Seven Veils.
00:23:20Baal's thirst is quenched and he is revived in the western quadrant of water under the
00:23:25sign of Mercury, representing the alchemical process of solution. In winter, the world
00:23:33is threatened by storms and floods brought on by the Dragon of Chaos. Alone, Prince Baal
00:23:39cannot defeat the dragon. He shares his victory with the moon goddess Tenet at winter solstice
00:23:46in the northern quadrant of earth under the sign of salt, representing the alchemical
00:23:51process of separation. In spring, Baal and Astarte are united in the joyous rite of Hieros
00:23:58Gamos, or sacred marriage, at the equinox, which culminates in our communion of the elements
00:24:05ceremony in the eastern quadrant of air under the sign of spirit, representing the alchemical
00:24:11process of conjunction. In summer, Prince Baal, the green man, is killed by the Dark
00:24:17Lord when the sun reaches its height at summer solstice. Then the crops wither and die on
00:24:24the southern quadrant of fire under the sign of sulfur, representing the alchemical process
00:24:31of calcination. And now, it is the eve of the summer solstice, and you have been invited
00:24:38to Rivendell to participate in a magical adventure, the ancient rite of Edonia, the death of the
00:24:45year king.
00:24:47Welcome, friends. Follow me across the bridge and into the world of magic.
00:25:01Come and dance the circle round, the sun is high again. Hail the green man's yearly gift,
00:25:18ripening the grain.
00:25:20Baal's the one, Baal the Dark.
00:25:28Lead us to the sacred ground, the summer has begun.
00:25:32Call the year king with his grail, to serve us everyone.
00:25:37Baal's the one, Baal the Dark.
00:25:45Wind the circle round the hinge, in the solstice rite.
00:25:49Sing the hymn of olden time, praise the lord of light.
00:25:54Baal's the one, Baal the Dark.
00:26:02Come and dance the circle round, the sun is high again.
00:26:06Hail the green man's yearly gift, ripening the grain.
00:26:10Baal's the one, Baal the Dark.
00:26:18Lead us to the sacred ground, the summer has begun.
00:26:22Call the year king with his grail, to serve us everyone.
00:26:26Baal's the one, Baal the Dark.
00:26:34Wind the circle round the hinge, in the solstice rite.
00:26:38Sing the hymn of olden time, praise the lord of light.
00:26:42Baal's the one, Baal the Dark.
00:26:50Come and dance the circle round, the sun is high again.
00:26:54Hail the green man's yearly gift, ripening the grain.
00:26:58Baal's the one, Baal the Dark.
00:27:06Lead us to the sacred ground, the summer has begun.
00:27:10Call the year king with his grail, to serve us everyone.
00:27:14Edonia, the festival of the summer solstice.
00:27:24The drama depicts the death of the year king, at the hand of the dark lord.
00:27:30Opening the season of heat and dryness, in the southern quadrant of the magical circle.
00:27:39Which is ruled by the principle of fire, and the philosophical element of sulfur.
00:27:45Symbolizing calcination, the first of the four primal operations of alchemy.
00:27:51And accomplishing the purification of the spirit, through sacrifice.
00:27:57Harken now unto the myth of the sacred year, with the coming of the summer solstice.
00:28:04When the blazing torch of the gods reaches highest in the heavens.
00:28:09And the fruits ripen on the vine.
00:28:12Lo, prince Baal is at the zenith of his power.
00:28:18Like the gentle rains and the warming sun, that cover the hills with green.
00:28:24The prince of earth brings the blessing of heaven.
00:28:28The golden seminal sacrament of life, unto the celebrants of his ancient rites.
00:28:34And such is the mystery of the holy grail.
00:28:40But that star born crater, was not filled with the wine of blood or death.
00:28:45But rather with the nectar of life.
00:28:48Like unto the straw of the solar lingam.
00:28:52Symbolized by golden honeymead.
00:28:58In the great chalice of the solstices.
00:29:02So it was.
00:29:08So it is.
00:29:12And so shall it be.
00:29:15O youth of many names, receive our praise.
00:29:31To you, O best beloved, we sing our lays.
00:29:38With beauteous temporal orb, restore to sight.
00:29:45And with first fruits and summer flames, delight.
00:30:08Om Namah Shivaya.
00:30:39Om Bhogidula.
00:30:46Om Liyolam.
00:30:53Om Nam.
00:31:09Om Namah Shivaya.
00:31:22Before us.
00:31:26Om Rampayel.
00:31:40Behind us.
00:31:43Om God Rayel.
00:31:58At our right hand.
00:32:01Om Mikael.
00:32:17At our left hand.
00:32:20Om Narayel.
00:32:36For about us flame the blessed pentagrams.
00:32:39And in our column shines the six-rayed star.
00:32:49By the alchemy of calcination, darkness, fear, and woe be gone.
00:33:00We light this fire of purification.
00:33:04In the mystic name of Sal Om Om.
00:33:19Holy Henge of Cycling Seasons.
00:33:35Mighty Millstone of the Year.
00:33:49Marks the longest day of summer.
00:34:12And the golden sun we now revere.
00:34:20And the golden sun we now revere.
00:34:27And the golden sun we now revere.
00:34:43Tree-born Lord in leafy raiment.
00:34:46Sired by golden solar ray.
00:34:49Thee we invoke with scent of myrrh.
00:34:54It holds Suneera's sacred way.
00:35:00Come to us from far Afaka.
00:35:04Spring and shrine and sacred tree.
00:35:08Where roses bloom by lofty cedars.
00:35:12And a crimson river seeks the sea.
00:35:15Come to us Lord Baal Cloud Rider.
00:35:19Rain Cloud Rider Prince of Earth.
00:35:21Pour for us the dew of heaven.
00:35:24Holy Zra of life and birth.
00:35:51Al Mualim! Al Mualim!
00:36:06Behold!
00:36:08The golden dew of heaven.
00:36:11Born of thunder clouds on high.
00:36:20Drink with me this life elixir.
00:36:25Dance ye round till the cup be dry.
00:36:32And round the circle goes.
00:36:37Where the sacred river flows.
00:36:40Round and round the tree we hail.
00:36:42As we praise the holy grail.
00:36:46And round the circle goes.
00:36:48Where the sacred river flows.
00:36:50Around the tree we hail.
00:36:52We interacted told you shall finall.
00:36:55Who drinks with me?
00:36:57Who drinks with me?
00:36:59Who drinks with me? We drink with thee.
00:37:06Then drink!
00:37:08All the God-family!
00:37:19Sing with me!
00:37:21Who drinks with me? We drink with thee.
00:37:28Who drinks with me? We drink with thee.
00:37:31Then drink!
00:37:32All the God-family!
00:37:41Round and round the king we hail,
00:37:43To the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail.
00:37:45Who has not yet drunk with me?
00:37:47Drink!
00:37:49All the God-family!
00:37:59Well done, brother!
00:38:02Well done!
00:38:05And, it is done.
00:38:17Who dares to roll the drum of battle?
00:38:21Who comes upon me from the north?
00:38:24Who marches on me from the darkness?
00:38:28I, Prince Baal, do call thee forth.
00:38:48I am not thy royal brother,
00:38:52Prince of ruin, death and gloom.
00:38:56Thou hast had thy fruitful season.
00:39:00Now, it is time to seek the tomb.
00:39:10Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:39:21Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:39:31Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:39:34Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:39:36Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:39:48Now the crops will parch and wither.
00:39:54Rivers, streams, and wells be dried.
00:40:03I have laid my curse upon thee.
00:40:07Drought and famine evermore.
00:40:10Death and rot and disillusion is all thou hast in store.
00:40:19Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:40:30Alas, alas!
00:40:33Prince Baal has fallen.
00:40:35The curse of Moat is on the land.
00:40:38Call we now on Theristarte.
00:40:41Only she can stay his hand.
00:40:47Queen of heaven, Theristarte,
00:40:50mistress of the evening star,
00:40:53wave-born goddess, dove of morning,
00:40:57hear us in thy land afar.
00:41:00Come to us on white wings gliding.
00:41:03Come to us on crested foam.
00:41:07Bring to us your love supernal
00:41:10from your emerald-palaced home.
00:41:13Hear our call, O Theristarte,
00:41:17consort of our dead Prince Baal.
00:41:21Lift the curse of Moat upon us.
00:41:24Shield us from the fires of Saul.
00:41:28Grace the land with milk and honey.
00:41:31Save the seedlings in the earth.
00:41:34Grant us hope for all the future.
00:41:38Give us life and love and birth.
00:41:43Aima al Malka.
00:42:14I have heard thy call, my children,
00:42:17that at last you cried too late.
00:42:20Here I weep in mourning with you
00:42:23that my lover's yearly fate.
00:42:25With him goes the bloom of springtime,
00:42:28with him pass the gentle rains.
00:42:30He alone could fruit the hillside,
00:42:32he alone could prune the meadow,
00:42:34he alone could plant the tree,
00:42:36he alone could plant the tree,
00:42:38he alone could plant the tree.
00:42:41He alone could fruit the hillside,
00:42:43he alone could green the plains.
00:42:45Yet am I still queen eternal,
00:42:47star-born daughter of the great El?
00:42:50Seedlings slumber, yearlings prosper
00:42:52under my protecting spell.
00:42:54In the autumn I do pledge ye
00:42:56war to make the dark lord yield.
00:42:59Armed with stock and stone to grind him,
00:43:01I shall cast Moat to the field.
00:43:03Bearing with me heaven's nectar,
00:43:05I shall raise the dead Prince Baal
00:43:07to regain again in winter season
00:43:09with the waxing rays of soul.
00:43:12Come ye now, mourn him with me,
00:43:15burn away the blood-borne rose,
00:43:18purify the soul in sadness,
00:43:21shed the tears of she who knows.
00:43:25Each rose is the blood of the year, king.
00:43:45Burn it and thy sorrows be forgot.
00:43:50These waters are the tears of the goddess.
00:43:52Shed them and thy sadness will pass.
00:44:04Each rose is the blood of the year, king.
00:44:06Burn it and thy sorrows be forgot.

00:45:59Burn it and thy sorrows be forgot.
00:46:30Who drinks with me?
00:46:37When I researched the ancient Canaanite tablets discovered at Ugarit,
00:46:42and not translated until after World War II,
00:46:46I made an amazing discovery.
00:46:49Prince Baal was said to have filled a great holy goblet
00:46:54with 10,000 pitchers of wine.
00:46:58This supported anthropologist Jesse Weston's
00:47:01earlier 1920 Phoenician origin theory for the Holy Grail
00:47:07in her book From Ritual to Romance.
00:47:10The Holy Grail and the other grail hallows
00:47:14are far older than Christianity.
00:47:18Older even than Moses.
00:47:20They go back to the days of Melchizedek.
00:47:24These sacred objects, which are the four elemental weapons,
00:47:28the suits of the tarot, and the implements of the magus,
00:47:32are the living heart of our magical religion.
00:47:35They are the instruments of our art,
00:47:37the holy implements of our transformation,
00:47:40and they are central to our most solemn
00:47:43and sacred Eucharistic rite of seven sacraments,
00:47:47the ancient communion of the elements.
00:47:54It is well known that the four grail hallows,
00:47:58being the sword, the lance, the chalice, and the shield or platter,
00:48:03are symbolic of the four philosophical elements
00:48:06of air, fire, water, and earth,
00:48:09which in turn represent the four suits of the tarot.
00:48:13What is not so well known
00:48:15is that these symbolic weapons and implements,
00:48:18and their use in sacred ritual,
00:48:21predate the Judeo-Christian tradition.
00:48:24Recall that the Canaanite priest-king Melchizedek
00:48:28gave the sacraments to Abraham a thousand years before Moses
00:48:32and two thousand years before the beginning of Christianity.
00:48:36Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
00:48:40I shall fear no evil.
00:48:42Thou art with me.
00:48:44Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
00:48:47Thou preparest a table before me
00:48:50in the presence of mine enemies.
00:48:53Thou anointest my head with oil.
00:48:56My cup runneth over.
00:48:58Surely, goodness and mercy
00:49:01shall follow me all the days of my life,
00:49:04and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
00:49:08You are watching a communion service
00:49:11filmed in our Montsovat Temple back in 1974.
00:49:15In this version of the rite,
00:49:18the magic circle is raised up to be a serving table,
00:49:22and the priestess and the priest officiate from within,
00:49:26while the celebrants circle to receive the sacraments.
00:49:31In this most ancient version of the Eucharist,
00:49:34the chalice is filled with the life-giving essence of fermented honey
00:49:39rather than the blood and death surrogate of wine.
00:49:43In the Hermetic tradition, we also sanctify and share
00:49:47the aerial incense, the fire,
00:49:50and the bread and salt of the earth.
00:49:53And finally, we anoint the celebrant with holy oil
00:49:56and bestow the kiss of Agape,
00:49:59representing the infusion of spirit,
00:50:02the fifth element, which quickens and enlivens the other four.
00:50:07Thus, seven sacraments are blessed and administered.
00:50:12There are two great mysteries and magics attendant to this rite.
00:50:16The first is the personal transubstantiation of the Eucharist itself,
00:50:21an internal alchemy made more meaningful
00:50:24with the ingestion of a seminal sacrament
00:50:27which relates to the second great mystery of the Holy Shrine itself,
00:50:31within which the true configuration of the cherubim
00:50:35in the Holy of Holies is revealed.
00:50:38For was it not written in the Sefer HaZohar that
00:50:41in the temple hidden and concealed is the secret of the Holy of Holies,
00:50:46which are the two cherubs of Zahir-an-Pin and Malkuth.
00:50:50The Holy of Holies above is the secret of the Supernal Chokmah and Binah,
00:50:55similarly the groom and the bride.
00:51:01In recent years, our High Communion has been presented in total silence,
00:51:29with spiritual music in the background.
00:51:31The symbolic gestures of our acolytes, our deacon, and our priest and priestess
00:51:36are more eloquent and evocative than words.
00:51:39The deacon gives the charge and opens the temple with a pentagram ritual.
00:51:44The acolytes then enter in procession carrying with them the grail hallows
00:51:49and they venerate the elements.
00:51:51The priestess and priest open the shrine to reveal the ultimate mystery
00:51:56and then administer the sacraments to the celebrants.
00:51:59Now, let us observe the rite as it was recently performed
00:52:05for our Southern California Magical Community.

01:04:16The Sacraments of the Southern California Magical Community
01:04:18One of the most remarkable events in the history of western magic
01:04:22occurred during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
01:04:26The most brilliant scholar of Renaissance England
01:04:30was Dr. John Dee.
01:04:32But Dr. John Dee was also
01:04:36a secret agent for the crown,
01:04:39the Queen's royal astrologer,
01:04:41and a ceremonial magician.
01:04:44For five years,
01:04:46Dee and his scryer Edward Kelly
01:04:50invoked a number of mysterious angels
01:04:53who gave them a secret magical language
01:04:57and a complex system of invocation.
01:05:00This angelic language was called Enochian
01:05:04after the biblical prophet Enoch.
01:05:07And it was cryptically displayed on tablets
01:05:11said to be the watchtowers of the universe.
01:05:15This Enochian system of magic
01:05:18was partially published in 1659
01:05:21in a remarkable book called
01:05:24A True and Faithful Relation
01:05:27of What Passed for Many Years
01:05:29Between Dr. John Dee and Some Spirits
01:05:32Tending, had it succeeded,
01:05:35to a general alteration of most states and kingdoms in the world.
01:05:39Now in today's New Age terminology,
01:05:42the magical process detailed in this book
01:05:45would be called channeling.
01:05:47But this 16th century Enochian revelation
01:05:50is far more phenomenal and profound
01:05:53than the later 19th century accounts of Summerland
01:05:58given by spiritualist mediums
01:06:01and the more recent extraterrestrial teachings
01:06:05of the New Age channelers.
01:06:07Neither can Enochian speech be likened to
01:06:10the glossolalia of hysterical fundamentalists
01:06:13speaking in tongues.
01:06:15This Enochian language actually has a syntax and a grammar.
01:06:19It can be spoken, translated, and understood
01:06:23by both disembodied spirits
01:06:26and by the magicians who summon them.
01:06:29These Enochian calls were so powerful
01:06:32that they were originally delivered backwards
01:06:35and in reverse order.
01:06:37Only then, after they had been transcribed,
01:06:40could they actually be understood.
01:06:43Dr. Dee and Edward Kelly
01:06:46spent thousands of hours over several years
01:06:49gathering and meticulously recording this information
01:06:53from the spiritual entities they had contacted.
01:06:57Although the Enochian spirits claimed to be angels,
01:07:01they were often wrathful, capricious, and even amoral.
01:07:06But they were certainly biblical.
01:07:09They rumbled and thundered in the apocalyptic style
01:07:13of the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation.
01:07:16If the later 18th century mystic poet and artist,
01:07:20William Blake, had lived and died
01:07:22before Dee and Kelly began their work,
01:07:25one might even have suspected
01:07:27it was the ghost of Blake they had raised
01:07:30because both expressions of mysticism
01:07:33are similar in content and implication.
01:07:37There are several systems of Enochian magic.
01:07:40The one we employ is the ascension of the 30 aethers.
01:07:44This derives from an early Gnostic cosmology of 30 aeons,
01:07:49which are spiritually explored
01:07:52in an ascending soul quest toward enlightenment,
01:07:55an earthly presage of the soul's ascent after death.
01:08:00The aether system uses the four elemental tablets
01:08:04called watchtowers of the universe
01:08:06and a smaller fifth tablet suspended above the altar.
01:08:11This spiritual tablet of union
01:08:14unifies the four tablets at the quarters of the magical circle.
01:08:19In our configuration,
01:08:21a 150-millimeter amethystine scrying orb
01:08:25is mounted above the Enochian sigil of emeth,
01:08:29or seal of God, upon the altar.
01:08:32The first stage of an Enochian ritual
01:08:35is the opening and charging of the tablets.
01:08:39This is called a watchtower opening.
01:08:42It is actually a variation
01:08:44of the golden dawn's greater pentagram ritual.

01:22:18In our two previous productions,
01:22:20we explored Solomon's art of angelic invocation
01:22:24and the evocation of spirits in the dark mirror.
01:22:27In this production, we've introduced you to
01:22:30Hermetic Yoga, Pathworkings, Seasonal Ceremonies,
01:22:34the Magical Eucharist, Enochian Watchtowers,
01:22:37and the Perils of Alchemical Experimentation.
01:22:42Beyond this lies the vision quest
01:22:45for the Holy Guardian Angel
01:22:47and the profound mysteries of celestial magic.
01:22:51At this point, you might be wondering
01:22:54what magical tradition do we follow?
01:22:56Do we derive from the Golden Dawn,
01:22:59the Ordo Templi Orientis,
01:23:01or some other Hermetic Resurrection Order?
01:23:04No.
01:23:06The tradition we follow is a hundred years older
01:23:09than the Golden Dawn and the OTO.
01:23:12Our initiations are based on the 18th century
01:23:15European rite of Kraterepoa,
01:23:18which was a faithful reconstruction
01:23:20of the classical pagan initiatory rites
01:23:23conducted in ancient Alexandria
01:23:25in the first century of the Common Era.
01:23:28We are of the ancient Hermetic tradition.
01:23:32Now, if you will give just a moment's attention
01:23:36to Frater Namus, our director, Greg Jednak,
01:23:40who played Prince Baal
01:23:42in our Seasonal Ceremony you just witnessed.
01:23:45Greg will introduce you
01:23:47to our other videos and publications.
01:23:53Originally, we released the instructional documentary
01:23:57The Magic of Solomon in VHS format.
01:24:01It is now available in an updated,
01:24:04extended DVD second edition.
01:24:07This production dramatically demonstrates
01:24:10Solomon's magical arts of angelic invocation
01:24:15and the evocation of spirits in the dark mirror.
01:24:19At the same time, we released the companion volume,
01:24:23The Book of Solomon's Magic,
01:24:25for students who wish to actually master
01:24:28and practice Solomon's ancient art of magic.
01:24:32We followed our first video
01:24:34with The Dark Mirror of Magic in VHS,
01:24:38which recorded an actual magical operation
01:24:42evoking a remarkable prophecy
01:24:45of world events that afterwards came to pass.
01:24:49This video has also been updated and extended
01:24:54in a second edition DVD version.
01:24:59We published Secrets of the Golden Dawn Cipher Manuscript
01:25:03for students who want to learn
01:25:05the essentials of the Golden Dawn system,
01:25:08and Seasonal Rites of Baal and Astarte,
01:25:12which contains the complete scripts,
01:25:14staging directions, and commentary
01:25:17for all four of our Seasonal Ceremonies,
01:25:20including the Summer Solstice Rite
01:25:23you saw performed in this production.
01:25:25And we have also published two volumes
01:25:28of our occasional journal, The Seventh Ray.
01:25:31The first issue contains the Golden Dawn's
01:25:34hitherto secret document, Book H,
01:25:37from which their Enochian magic was derived.
01:25:40The second issue features our Eleventh Sphere Tree of Life
01:25:44with three new tarot cards in full color.
01:25:47These materials are all available from us
01:25:51through our website or through major online distributors.
01:25:56In parting, let me remind you
01:26:00that in your temple you are one with the gods.
01:26:05Farewell, and good magic.
