The Equinox (Volume I, Number IV)

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING May22nd. 24th, June 3rd. with sign of Enterer to draw force, This cycle repeat until Simu- lacrum is at least capable of audible speech. I tried this and started by invoking the forces of Chokmah and Thoth, but omitted stating purpose of Operation in so many words. Yet with three projections (each way) I obtained a shadowy grayness somewhat human in shape. But found difficulty where least expected —in transferring consciousness to Simulacrum. God-form Thoth, 16m. Result fair. Akasa-Ak4sa, During the meditation the following Vision was seen. All things around me were surrounded by silver flashes or streaks. But about the human corpse which I saw before me there were fewer, and they moved more slowly. Above me was a pyramid of flashing light, and around me purple hangings. Five silver candle- sticks were brought in, and then I saw a throne with pentagram in white brilliance above it. There was a rose of five by five petals within ; and above Qesheth the rainbow. Rising from the ground were formless demons—all faces! Even as X. A. R. P.* etc. are evil. Above were the Gods of E.H.N.B.; and above them svastika wheels whirling, and again above this the Light Ineffable. Green ankh. 7m, Poor. Worked at 5°=6° explanation. Cross in brilliance. 1om. Medium result. Thoth in front of me. § m. Poor. Astral Vision. Dressed in white and red Abramelin robes with crown, wand, ankh, and rose-cross, etc., etc., went on an Astral Journey to * The four letters of the Air line in the “ Little Tablet of Union” which unites the four great Watch Towers of the Elements (see Dr. Dee’s system, also Golden Dawn MS. entitled “ The Concourse of the Forces).” Thus the T of Nanta represents Earth of Earth —the Empress of Pantacles in the Taro, and that letter is used as an initial for the Earthy corner of the Earth tablet.
