VISIONS OF THE GREAT NORTHERN WATCHTOWER OF EARTH

FIRST ROUND

ACZINOR – Jupiter Senior of Earth

Sunday, March 28, 1999

Today’s workshop1 was a smashing success. My magical partner clearly perceived the torrents of energy flowing through the elemental tablets. My impressions were more muted, being so focused on accurate performance of the evocation ceremony. I failed to observe every detail of my ritual plan but practice will make perfect. The ceremony was a success overall.

My experience with the Aczinor was unusual in that there was little in the way of visual sensation. His voice was very deep, booming, and echoing throughout my psychic space. Usually, my magical experiences are primarily visual, with voices heard with some difficulty. This time, the only vision was of my field of inner space, tinged throughout with rose pink (the color of the Sephirah Tiphareth in the King scale2), but vibrating as one object to the boom of the voice. It was like a speaker woofer vibrating to a powerful bass beat.

Aczinor indicated that dispensing with the religious aspects of John Dee’s magical system was fine, as long as the entities involved were treated with the same respect as what Dee had. All technical questions of the system should be referred to the Mercury Senior of Air.

Something feels different now as a result of this angelic contact. My psyche has acted as a lens through which higher, superconscious forces focused to communicate ideas to me. I hope this fantastic transcendence of mind strengthens my being to do even greater intensities of magical expression.

In the future, the workshop will deal with the Mercury and Venus Seniors of Earth and after that, Seniors from the other tablets will be evoked. Eventually, the angels of the subelemental quadrants will be called according to John Dee’s system as presented in Geoffrey James’ book, “The Enochian Magick of Dr. John Dee.”

AHMLICV – Mercury Senior of Earth

ALHCTGA – Venus Senior of Earth

LZINOPO – Luna Senior of Earth

Sunday, April 11, 1999

I just completed a fantastic solo temple working. The Mercury, Venus, and Luna Seniors of Earth were evoked to great effect. I used the Greater Ritual of the Hexagram3 to invoke the Mercury Senior but, after banishing him, I tried the Lesser Ritual of the Hexagram for the other two. By using the Lesser Ritual, I didn’t have to banish and reinvoke for each new Senior4 – a worthwhile shortcut. It may actually not be necessary to use a hexagram ritual at all since the Senior names are coming from the tablet already activated.

The Seniors appeared to me as conventional angelic images, in white robes and with huge wings, in a black, empty space. The vision itself was not so inspiring but the conversation was revelatory.

The Mercury Senior, AHMLICV, told me that I needed to pass three tests before I could evoke the servient and Kerubic angels without belief in the religious paradigm of John Dee. The first test is to find the beauty within myself. The second test is to discover the joy within myself. The third test was to get rid of the trickster that lives around my feet, which works to defeat me at every turn.5

Essentially, a magician needs to route out all sources of self doubt and shame that continually warp the mind. In order to face the more primal elemental powers without beliefs in religious ideals and protections, it is necessary to have absolute self confidence and the most sublime self image. The God that the magician inherently is, is all that is needed to command any spirit.

The Venus Senior, ALHCTGA, told me to find my soul mate, my other self, and unite with this to achieve true wholeness. She told me a story about a man who was quite happy living alone, self absorbed, when one day he decided to search for a companion. He searched far and wide but couldn’t find anyone who was satisfactory. Finally, he searched within himself in places he never expected to look and found the object of his search (superconsciousness6). He became whole.

The Luna Senior, LZINOPO, showed me physical examples of unions of opposites to produce holistic synergy. Chemical reactions and quantum interactions are the inorganic correlates to a human’s search for fulfillment in a mate. The soul is one with matter, all deriving from one source and so interconnected. However, the nature of these connections is mysterious. Overall, the union of opposites emulates the interdimensional nature of consciousness and so expands this field to ever greater influence over its surroundings. All is one from a sufficiently transcendent perspective.

This magick is so wonderful. This is how I’ll achieve higher initiation, just like Crowley did. At last, I can truly take my destiny into my own hands. Self reliance is the way to go in the Aeon of Horus.

Wednesday, April 14, 1999

I’ve been carefully contemplating the parable the Venus Senior of Earth told me. The concept of other self, as opposed to not self, is profound and useful in any mystical endeavor. Indeed, there is nothing that is not of Self, merely that which is currently not recognized as such. The key, then, is to continually look in new places for self, to do things different than according to habit, and think in unusual ways.

The most obvious place where consciousness is ignored and affirmed as not self is the physical world. Consciousness is apparently confined to the central nervous system but my experiences with expansion of self awareness have revealed this to be in error. All that is, is consciousness. The nervous system is just a focuser of the omnipresent life principle.

It seems I’ve already learned this vital lesson to a profound degree, indicating that my best states of awareness I’ve attained so far correspond in the Enochian system to the Seniors. Putting my mystical threshold into an organized context is of great value. My hypothesis, that magical systems like Dee’s open up avenues of superconsciousness rather than calling upon supernatural beings whose existence is entirely independent to that of the magician, has proven to be correct. It makes sense that the planetary natures inherent in material consciousness correspond to my best vision work and mystical realizations. My results have primarily been in Malkuth, the Bride7, everything being comprehensible to the intellect. According to the Qabalah, the next step beyond this involves the celestial world, Microprosopus, the realm of the planets and stars, unsullied by material reflection. To realize consciousness in these superlunary vibrations would exalt me to a significantly higher state of self realization than what I currently experience.

LIIANSA – Saturn Senior of Earth

LAIDROM - Mars Senior of Earth

Sunday, April 25, 1999

Today’s workshop was superb. As it turns out, the hexagram ritual isn’t necessary to evoke the Seniors but it does serve as a useful amplifier of the stellar energies inherent in material nature. It’s worth doing.

The Saturn Senior of Earth lent a feeling of purity and sanctity. I was reminded of how the nature of Babalon8 was a fusion of Saturn, Mars, and Venus. When properly understood, the power of Saturn ceases to be dark and foreboding and can be experienced as a pure but impersonal holy presence. As manifested on the plane of earth, Saturn is the process of focusing the vast potential of the universe to create a personalized, ego-centered reality. A great abyss separates the personal self from the impersonal source and so that which is beyond that self often appears as dark and overwhelming to the beginner in magick. A lot of initiation and transformation enables the more seasoned magician to penetrate that veil and look upon the sanctified inner mystery without fear.

The Mars Senior of Earth claimed to be that force of evolution which drives people to form new societies when existing groups become too old fashioned for the new-oriented citizens. Normally, evolution occurs very slowly over long periods of time. However, as with both physical and psychic evolution, there are short intervals wherein very rapid change occurs. An example is the advent of the Aeon of Horus, which inaugurated the remarkable transformations of society in the 20th century and continue to this day. If humanity can survive the backlash to this extreme evolution, it can become something far beyond anything yet imagined. This intense but unknown potential seems as cataclysmic Saturnian darkness to many. Enochian magick can help us make sense of what is going on and what is to come. In this spirit, LAIDROM quoted an inspirational passage out of “Liber Al vel Legis,” Ch. 1, v. 12, “Come forth, oh children, under the stars, & take your fill of love!”9 I wonder what amazing evolutionary transformations will be brought about as a result of contacting all six Earth Seniors.

The workshop is now ready to evoke the great King of Earth, the solar being on the Watchtower of the North. After that, we’ll evoke the angels of the Air tablet, the great Eastern Quadrangle. Great adventures await!

ICZHIHAL – King of Earth

Sunday, May 9, 1999

I have evoked the elemental King of Earth and the North, ICZHIHAL. The vision of this great King was awesome! His force filled the entire temple space in a palpable way, stretching to the beyond region, the borderland between mind and matter, and pervading every dimension from one extreme to the other. Through his all encompassing presence, I felt myself expand beyond the confines of space and time. There is much more to physical existence than length, width, depth, and time. He was inside and outside of this reality, truly an interdimensional being. He projected himself smoothly into my mind as easily as someone walking into a room, appearing as an old, bearded man in black robes. His image, however, looked like a carefully detailed pencil drawing. The scene before my mind’s eye seemed at once unreal and more real than any experience I ever had to this point. A higher being had extended itself into my psychic domain.

To bestow his blessing, he placed a portion of his being, a great spiral force that flowed through this plane and many others, over my head. I felt immense power flow through my mind and body, one dimensional state to another, and back to its source beyond physical reality. My entire being had been included in a great superdimensional circuit that was everywhere, yet focused in a current I was now a part of. The influences of the Seniors were mere drops in this ocean of cosmic expansion. The great King bestowed on me the ability to command the Powers of Earth.

ICZHIHAL taught me that movement through space and time is an illusion. All that is changing is the way in which the wholeness of reality focuses itself through the domain of the expanding physical universe. That potential from which it expands has many other dimensions and domains of realization. To understand how magical energy cycles through this space-time arena, the entire circuit must be perceived at once. Complete receptivity is needed to appreciate the holistic process of moment-by-moment realization of possibility. The key to influencing this course of creation is to receive it fully and then change the state of self in such a way as to impress a desired change onto the circuit, altering the way it unfolds through space over time. Much magical training is needed to integrate the magician’s psyche and nervous system to the point where such a holistic signal can be transmitted.

I closed the temple, giving license to depart to any and all spirits that may have been attracted by my rite of evocation. The forces of the King of Earth were effectively banished and my living room returned to normal. The Enochian system of magick works, not only in summoning but also in banishing tremendous cosmic and psychic energies. In this way, psychedelic experiences can be enjoyed at will, without the use of illegal drugs. The legacy of John Dee and Edward Kelly is a fantastic Path of evolutionary and initiatory acceleration.

LZINOPO – Luna Senior of Earth

ICZHIHAL – King of Earth

Sunday, May 23, 1999

Today’s workshop was fantastic. My partner and I have finished evoking the major angels of the Earth tablet, and are ready to move on to the Air tablet next workshop. My partner mentioned during a discussion before the ceremony that her consciousness has been changing in ways similar to my own. Our visionary experiences, had by magick done outside the workshop, were producing similar breakthroughs. We’re reaching many of the same philosophical and metaphysical conclusions. Our work together is producing a remarkable synergy.

My vision of the Earth King was purely metaphysical, without voice or person. I inwardly saw a great ring of pure psychic energy expand outward from my head at the level of my eyes. This became a series of concentric rings that clarified into tori. A torus is like a bagel in shape, a circle rotated around a center outside of it, forming a greater circle, a circle of circles.10 I could feel my expanded psychic energy flowing through each ring and out from my brain to each ring. From the edge of the outermost ring, the current instantly reappeared in my brain as if it moved through some higher dimension. This experience reminded me of the planet Saturn with its concentric rings. This is an important cosmic geometry that directly relates the innermost mind with celestial objects.

The Luna Senior showed me another such geometry, one involving a spherical formation with energy accruing to it like the formation of a planet or a star. This was like a simple gravitational attraction. This was a female formula in comparison to the King’s male formula of cosmic geometry. Consciousness is a cosmic force that is focused on and channels through the human mind and nervous system. Every scale of the universe works by the same basic energy structures.

Chapter VIII

VISIONS OF THE GREAT NORTHERN WATCHTOWER OF EARTH

SECOND ROUND

Explanatory Note:

A short time after completing my whirlwind tour of the Enochian elemental tablet angels, I suffered what can only be described as a short circuit of my aura and nervous system. The occasional bouts of anxiety I’ve had since childhood suddenly became much worse, especially at night. Over the next several months, insomnia became a real problem. Also, I suffered from muscle spasms, particularly around the eyes. All of these symptoms derived from an overplus of subconscious psychic energy pouring into my personal awareness and through to my peripheral nervous system. Psychologists would call this an uncontrolled rise of unconscious contents. It became clear to me that the magical circuit I’d just completed was too much for me to handle. I pushed through the Enochian magical system, heedless of the warnings given me by those angels/projections which I charged to instruct and initiate me. I’d come too far, too fast.

It was my initial intension to repeat some of the Water, Fire, and Spirit angel evocations which had given me trouble the first time around and then move on to some self initiatory ceremonies. However, after my symptoms worsened, I knew this course of action was impossible. A prolonged break from any magick was needed to properly integrate the overplus of new energies flooding into my personal being. My state of mental and physical health would indicate how to proceed after that.

Eventually, my nerve shock symptoms subsided to normal and I felt ready to return to magical operation. The best course of action at this point was clearly to repeat the entire round from the beginning. To return to evocation of such powerful entities/thought forms as the Water, Fire, and Spirit angels without the gradual buildup provided by the more personal elements of consciousness would only lead me back to more auric and nervous overload. Repeating what I’d already mastered would serve to reinforce the more stable aspects of my psyche and so better enable me to withstand the tidal wave of more intense, impersonal forces. This round, however, I would strictly adhere to every warning given me and call only one angel at a time. Every aspect of the Enochian reality had to be fully understood before moving on, no matter how many times a particular angel needed to be called to be mastered. Lust of result, finishing the Watchtower course, would have to be put aside. As my subsequent results show, this was a wise policy to follow.

Looking back on my ordeals, I regret none of it and am even grateful for the extreme tests of Will and perseverance afforded by the backlash of too much magick. One of the greatest values of the magical path is the testing of personal mettle. Smashing into them head on may reveal personal limitations. The system of magical contacts pioneered by John Dee and Edward Kelly over four centuries ago remains the most powerful course of occult practice in the western world. Only the intrepid and devoted practitioner can succeed on this journey to the farthest reaches of the mind and soul. Here is what happened next.

ACZINOR – Jupiter Senior of Earth

ICZHIHAL – King of Earth

Sunday, January 21, 2001

I’ve decided to collect the results of my Enochian evocations for this round in a journal separate from my main magical record in order to facilitate perusal of past ceremonial results. It’s difficult to search through months and years of copious diary just to find the records of particular events and operations. Everything will be ready to hand this time around.

It’s been a long time since I last performed a formal temple working. I made several dumb mistakes, such as using the banishing forms of the spirit pentagrams during the Opening of the Temple by Watchtower and forgetting some of the customary speeches. I also forgot a word in the elemental call. Nonetheless, my result was successful and clear in meaning. Form is less important than effectiveness of contact and efficient usage of the essential powers of the psyche.

I first evoked ACZINOR, Jupiter Senior of Earth. As little vision was revealed this time as in my previous Earth Senior evocations. The angel appeared to my inner sense only, as a white outline against a black background. He told me that I’d fulfilled this stage of work and that I was ready to take the next step. He actually seemed annoyed that I’d gone back to Earth in the first place. I banished him in due form.

Delighted at my progress, I decided to call ICZHIHAL, the Earth King and ultimate angel of the Northern Watchtower, to confirm my fulfillment of his element. He appeared in my mind and in my aura in vastness and majesty. The very solidity of the floor of my apartment seemed to ripple with the awesome force of him. He took shape in my imagination and told me that my previous work with the Earth tablet was enough to fulfill what I could accomplish here and that I was ready to move on to the Air tablet. He went on to say that Earth is the foundation of all action, the unchanging basis that supports all changes in form and motion. It is stability in the midst of change.

My plan for next time is to evoke the Jupiter Senior of Air in order to see if I need to spend more time with that element. The Air King will be next if all is achieved there, like with Earth. Water will be next after that and if all goes well, I’ll return to the powers of Fire in no time. If this round turns out to be very quick, I’ll be ready to dare performance of an Enochian style “Liber Samekh” working. This will fully prepare me for work with the Kerubic and servient angels of the Watchtowers.
