Pillars Of Enoch


Pillars Of Enoch Cover
The only link to Enoch in masonic tradition has to do with a legend concerning two pillars which Lamech’s children made to contain all the knowledge of mankind. These pillars are often confused in early masonic writings with the pillars at the entrance to King Solomon’s Temple.
Enoch, seventh in descent from Adam in the line of Seth, is noted in Genesis: "Enoch walked with God." His name, in the Hebrew, signifies to initiate and to instruct. Jewish tradition ascribes to him the invention of letters, arithmetic and astronomy. The Book of Enoch, written in Ethiopic in the first and second centuries BCE, influenced New Testament writers and entire parts are reproduced without acknowledgement. The Book of the Secrets of Enoch written by Hellenistic Jews in Egypt, also reflected its influence. Rejected by the Jews in the first century CE because it supported Christian claims, it was banned by Christian teachers by the third century because, among other reasons, it contradicted other apocalyptic writings. The Book of the Secrets of Enoch refers to Enoch’s authorship of 366 books which he entrusted to his sons. The Greek Christians supposed Enoch to be Hermes; Eupolemus makes him the same as Atlas; Bar Hebracus asserts that he invented books, writing, the building of cities and astronomy.

While Enoch refers to an allegory told of Hermes or Thoth, the Father of Wisdom in ancient Egypt, who it is said concealed his books of wisdom under a pillar, and then found that the wisdom had become transferred onto two pillars of stone, Josephus, in Antiquities of the Jews, Book I, chapter ii, Section 3, tells a similar story about Enoch, saying that the pillars of Enoch were still in existence in his day, and that they were built by the children of Seth. If these particular pillars existed, what they were and who built them are topics of some controversy. The number of pillars, one or two, varies in different legends, leading to some further controversy over their symbolism.

The Magickal Art Of Seduction


The Magickal Art Of Seduction Cover
A friend and I have been discussing magical techniques, one of the things we have come up with is that magic is often about relationships. He gave the example of calling rain.

He says calling rain is a seduction, you call the rain to you as you woulda lover. He speaks to the rain spirit, dances for and loves the spirit. And the rain comes. He will not run in the rain, and he will not usual an umbrella or put on any protection from the rain. He says to do so would be like spurning a lover. You have to love the rain when it comes.

Seduction or no, the elements with which I work best are the ones with which I have a personal relationship. A fire spirit I conjured some time ago has been a major help in many spells sense. I have sent him on protective missions and on information gathering missions. He has been my guide to the plane of fire, and helped me in writing invocations to fire.

I dedicated my room to the goddess Oshun. For her I bought green carpetand painted my walls green. I got a beautiful african print cloth inbeautiful yello and black and layed it on an altar for her. I got a ceramic tile on which there is a mermade, and placed in on the altar. I light candles for her, and bring her things, flowers, crystals, objects of beauty, incense and oils. This courting of Oshun was a courting of love in my life. I wanted to open myself to love, after a bad breakup with someone very special to me. Since the dedication I have been surrounded by love, discovered deeper friendships than I ever knew I had before, been more sexually active than I have been in years, and am engaged to be married. It hasn't all been easy, but I have learned a lot. Oshun is
wonderous and I love her greatly.

One powerful path to magic is to have a strong relationship with the spirits you use. Maybe the Christians are on the right track with the concept of a personal relationship with Jesus. (I am not sure they understand what they are saying, but the idea is solid.) If you speak with your spirits and honor them, the next time you call on them for aid in magic, for protection, advice, whatever, your magic will be much stronger.

Let the influences of Thy diving ones descend upon my head, and teach me the value of self-sacrifice so that I shrink not in the hour of trial, but that thus my name may be written on high and my genius stand in the presence of the holy ones."
