Hello
We, Da Wife and I, have been working on the condo and it looks like I am getting the second bedroom as a man cave. We are discussing ideas. Funny story, when she was much younger, she stayed at her mom's house, in her brother's bedroom. When she woke up, it was to Farrah, in the red swimsuit poster looking down at her. When I mentioned that, she suggested Crowley.
Anyroad, what would be good on a Babalon Altar. I have some ideas myself and I am looking for other ideas. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

So I was doing a meditation on the lust card, and all of these questions started to come to me. One of them basically had me researching the beast as sort of a side-track that leads back to the main path. That same day, in an unrelated paper I was reading, Diabolus (an official grade paper for the Order of Phosporus), when suddenly I came across this:
Quote:
The spiritual or mind cannot be viable to any certainty in
the physical realm beyond its Will to shape its world around it, therefore the Mind
contains both elements of Darkness and Light. Ahriman himself was born of Light but
yet chose darkness.
In the Zurvanite myth Ahriman first perceived his own being and chose to exit the womb
before his brother, who was born of light. Ahriman was called dark and stinking by his
father Zurvan, who by casting aside his first born, allowed Ahriman to go forth from the
heavenly realm to choose his own devices within the physical and spiritual world.
Ahriman has free Will to choose his own path, to become in both planes of existence
based on that desire.

Ahriman created or had fell with Seven Archdemons who served his will. They were in a
prototypical way, the Dragon of Seven Heads. These Daevas [demons] were listed as the following, Aeshma, Akoman, Nanghaithya, Tawrich, Savar, Andar and Zarich.
The Daevas were authored or created by Ahriman as in suggestion of the Zurvan myth.
These are so-called evil spirits who chose the intellect and individual Will as opposed to
servitude and conformity. [nytek: And through the many, the individual is thus ever pulled toward the vacuum-like potential of the Great Divine Feminine, as Babalon, which is above. More literally and less mystically the whole card on a higher level is a card of magick; coiled serpentine teth being considered here especially.]
Aeshma is the original form of Asmodeus, a Daeva of
Ahriman. This demon is known as the One of the “Wounding Spear” and was a patron of
war and strife.
Aeshma along with Savar, who is called the “Leader of Devs”, both are
the controllers under Ahriman of the Dryvants, who are known as ‘storm fiends’. Here
we once again find reference to the Adversary through sorcerous will controlling storms
and the more unfriendly aspects of nature.
Andar according to Luciferian lore is a demon
of the Black Flame, or isolate consciousness.
Zairich is a poisoning or testing demon, all
of which are featured with invocations in the Paitisha and Yatuk Dinoih.
The Daeva known as Akoman or Aka Manah is the “Evil Mind”, a personified demon of
intellect which conspires against the Vohu Manah or “Good Mind”. Herein presents a
cipher to the reader; that they very essence of the so-called Satanic or Luciferian path
known also as the Left Hand Path is brought to the forefront – to the simple description
of what one would advance themselves on this path for.

Nanghaithya is the personification of discontentment.

Hi Everyone,
this is my first time in the forums and I would like to say what a brilliant site and hello to everyone.
I have recently begun to actually practise the rituals of Thelema rather that just read about them.
I would like anyones advice about this as you can imagine I am a bit confused lol
What rituals would you recommend I begin with, obviously i thought the star ruby and the star sapphire. After this what ones should I move on to.
How often should you do the star ruby and the star saphire, is it everday or is it like a banishing before other rituals.
I have seen different versions of these rituals with slight differences, is it possible to personalise them in some way to make them mor powerful.
I hope you can help
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law

Hello All
Anyone have any thoughts about Liber V vel Reguli. I have been tasked to learn it and wondering if anyone has an useful insights or experience. Written explanations and videos on YouTube are nice, but I trust experience from people who know what they are talking about.
And I can say that on this board, we have a very good signal to noise ratio.
So now I go forth and sharpen up my pen and start my research...
