The Orator Of Thoth

Welcome to my blog! In this I discuss anything religious, spiritual, and the occult. I consider myself a practitioner of the occult and am still learning. From Thelema to Hermeticism, and Gnosticism. Also Theosophy as well. I also study Alchemical concepts and a more metaphorical side to it in an individual's spiritual path. I am also interested in Ariosophy, Theodism, and the Thule Society. Any LHP ideology welcome. From the Aghora and Vamachara of Eastern Faiths. I will also post music, politics, and anything miscellaneous. So welcome all and let us reach enlightenment together!

"Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus It is true, without falsehood, and most certain. What is below is like that which is above; and what is above is like that which is below; to accomplish the miracle of one thing. As all things were formed from one, by the thought of one, so all things are born from this one thing, by choice. Its father is the Sun, its mother the Moon, the Wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the Earth. It is the author of all perfection throughout the World. The power is strong when changed into Earth. Separate the Earth from the Fire, the subtle from the gross, gently and with care. Ascend from Earth to Heaven, and descend again to Earth, to unite the power of higher and lower things; thus you will obtain the glory of the whole World, and the shadows will leave you. This has more strength than strength itself, for it overcomes all subtle things and penetrates every solid. Thus the world was framed. Hence proceed wonders, which means are here. Therefore I am Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of world philosophy. That which I had to say of the operation of the Sun is perfected."

The Demiurge or Yaldaboath, Saklas (The Foolish God) and Samael (The Blind God). Is the Gnostic representation of the creating force/deity of the material universe. It is the God that many mainstream faiths worship namely the Abrahamic Religions. It assumed that it was the one true God because it had no conceptualization of what was beyond his seven spheres. He was wholly ignorant of the mother Aeon which spawned him. Holy Sophia the Aeon of Wisdom. The Pleroma was in chaos after Sophia’s fall from grace and the subsequent birthing of the Demiurge. She sought redemption from it by freeing us from our prisons. She is the one which imparted the divine spark within. The means of which to reconnect with the Aeonic/Ideal Forms of existence, beyond the imperfect material. To reconnect with the Monad/Bythos, the original God that emanated many Aeons that trickled down towards us. For this, my friends, is an imperfect reflection of the ideal world (i.e “Plato’s Cave). Where we are the shadows which represent the ideal. However the Demiurge seeks to keep us in this vortex of rebirth with his Hebdomad of seven Archons. Where he is the Greatest Archon. For he is the animal of an animalistic and imperfect existence.

Hear me out here while I type this. In Hinduism, especially the Kashmir Shaivism sect, that each and everyone is but an emanation of the one true Shiva. That through Shakti (the creation/feminine/mother earth aspect of Shiva) is his potency made apparent. Thus all of existence is but a manifestation of an aspect of him. Thus one can conclude that each individual, organic and inorganic matter is but a mere reflection if his Will. His feminine Shakti manifestation onto us. If this is the case then all time matters not as it is an ultimate illusion since Shiva acting through us as avatars experineced all history and all time in a singular instant. Much like Philip K Dick's notion of time happneing all at once and is non-linear. Also a being which also exist outside the material and yet within it all at once have no conception of time whatsoever. Like in Gnosticism with the Monad/Bythos existing simultaneously in the material and immaterial planes and emanates from the highest Aeon to the lowest organism that can house divine light.

Individuation is a Jungian concept analogous to an Alchemist's Magnum-Opus. It is basically the process of Unearthing your true-self and to shed away your outward persona. In alchemy the nigredo process is essentially soul death, or the death of the persona. In this the material/ego is broken down and putrefaction sets in. Thus what remains is the person's shadow. However the shadow reflects the sexual archetypes (anima is the feminine to a male, animus is a masculine to a female) in the albedo stages as a grand purifier. It shows the spiritual alchemist an aspect well hidden. Then the citrinitas stage is the coming of the sun, or dawn. It is the illumination of the coming "self" which the persona or the lunar light doesn't need to shine again. In Jungian psychology it is represented as a wise old man or woman and will show you to the self. Then the rubedo (reddening) stage is when the person fuses the ego with the true-self and becomes what they truly are, thus they found their inner philosophers stone. Thus a magnum-opus from within is attainable.

Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem. Visit the Interior of the Earth (the self) and Rectify (Purify) Yourself to Find the Hidden Stone. Basically Vitriol is an ancient term meaning for a variety of sulfates in alchemical processes. Namely Iron Sulfate was used due to its inherent properties to dissolve all impure metals except for pure Gold. In this the Green Lion dissolves the Sun into a more purest black in the Magnum Opus. The Black Sun is the end product of dissolving materials in hopes of attaining the philosophers stone. The Iron Sulfate appeared green and therefore it was symbolically represented as a Green Lion consuming a Sun. So in effect to purify yourself of the impurities from your soul is to attain the philosophers stone within. To find inner strength and spiritual dominance.

The Seal of Solomon. When Solomon did his conjuring for the 72 Goetia Demons he used this to seal them in and protect himself from their malicious actions. A summoner would evoke/invoke these demons to gain personal and spiritual strength. Like Asmodeus provides sexual strength and energy. Solomon was said to own a ring with this seal on it.
