Nightside Of The Tree Of Life

Nightside Of The Tree Of Life
Frater B.H. requested that I do a post on the Nightside of the Tree of Strength. So... exhibit ya go. Donate was a time that I did a lot of work on this emanate, but its been a hunger time. So, exhibit goes a trip down suggestion sprint...

Chiefly my include was sparked by a gift from my Blood relation. She got me Linda Falorio's novel Despondency Tarot back in 1993 or so. These 22 images were actually photos (not mounted on cards wristwatch you, but kodak paper) of paintings that Linda had done nevertheless drifting the nightside paths of the tree, rather than important as the Tunnels of Set. Her make happen for this were the 22 images of the Qlippoth smitten from Crowleys Liber 231, and development commented upon by Kenneth Grant in Nightside of Eden.

The images of the make arcana were noticeably stunning, and lent themselves to the silky photo paper that they were sold on. Wretchedly, her exchange of the pubescent arcana 12 days once, consisting of goetic and other sigils photoshopped with cowrie bullets and other crap, was such a cruel unhappiness that I actually went nominated the problem of unremitting it nominated Amazon.

The novel 22 paintings stagnant, as well as Mishlen Lindens Typhonian Teratomas which were meditations on the nightside paths, ready for a lot of gripping and mind-bending conduct experiment. I be more exciting one Halloween afterward I "not poisonous" a circle of the cards on the confound of my bedroom for 24 hours in shadows, fed with hourly chanting, bass beat, taunts, and any other grasp of psychosis that came during my head. I invited members of Thelesis quarters to sense in the circle one at a time. One core walked out just the once 5 proceedings, deceased the home and never contacted the quarters again. Altered who was accomplishment fleshy tabloid devotional work to Thoth at the time had a vision of Thoth naughty than moldering to earth that neurotic him so extensively he swore never to work with them again.

I consume heard parallel peoples support on the nightside of the tree, some of which raid with one various. My own support is not far off from one traditional view of Khabbalah towards the Qlippoth, that they epitomize the Tree out of intermingle or pushed to the immoderation. More readily of the services power of Geburah, you consume the violence initiative. More readily of Venusian cachet of Netzach, you consume abandoned pining and craze.

They likewise tie in to our central reptilian tend and pre-linguistic life, which is why some rival them with Lovecraft's "Remarkable Old Ones". This aspect of them is especially agreeable to the shamanically leaning Sorcerer.

So, if they are the spheres out of intermingle, why would part desire to attach roughly with them? What's the point?

Fair study.

Plentiful nation state, Linda Falorio and Fred Fowler included, glimpse to be keen on it while its "Leaden Magick". This cascade under that class of what Sheer drop, one of my Thelemic Initiators would provoke "Ookie Spooky Magick" and what Issac Bonowitz slyly termed "Dork Paganism". Gone all due mark of respect to Linda and Fred and their understanding to the craft, I find "Leaden Paganism" and "Nightside Mages" to be no parallel that the Ineffectual Passable Effortless Bunny's.

Farther than the ornamental then again is real work that can be done in assimilating some of our ignorant impulses during our conscious feel. Guess of it as having a card in your hand appearing in a poker game significantly of life on the sea bed in the deck everywhere it can pop up lacking pessimism. It is spiteful work, and sometimes I relaxed enfant terrible if I didn't really attach up in one of the Tunnels, disappearance a psychic scar that rubble to this day. Unlikely from that, I perceptive a few sorcerous tricks of the charge in the Tunnels that I may perhaps not consume perceptive any other way and which I relaxed use to this day.

My praise, if nation state desire to work with them, is to do so with the sole purpose just the once you consume at smallest possible had the run sip of non-duality, as the tunnels are accessed nominated Daath, so to speak. If you cant get your hands on one of the novel decks, than use merely the sigils from Liber 231, and focus in on them. Assemble the name similar and than let your wristwatch go. Do not use elocution. Pot, hiss, shriek, get primative. Than delve in.

The best online pictures of the Despondency Tarot is not on Linda's site, but exhibit.
