Wednesday, Thursday: Moon in Aries

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 20
The Day of Mercury in the kabbalistic World of Water, Briah. Mercury's function is to communicate. To think. To know. To reason. Language is his playground. The Akasic Library is his home. And oh yes, Hermes is a Love god. He likes the sound of his own voice. Write a poem, a sonnet, or some erotica today and them transmit that information to at least one other person. I write these darn things every Wednesday. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of Eidolons, the magick indwelling of icons by Spirit. Ya know, today is the Day that is dedicated to Mercury and what does Mercury do? Moves his ass on into to Scorpio, that’s what! Minds become more subtle in Scorpio’s deep waters. Words grow heavy with meaning as we dive below the surface of what’s obvious to sense deeper emotions. This transit is excellent for psychological self-examination and greater awareness of others’ motives and desires. Speaking with greater care is helpful when communication is capable of exposing our most intimate concerns.And, but, also the Moon, that enterprising Orb, has bolted into Aries as of 8:23 a.m. all full of pisss and vinegar, burning of the mists of Piscean illusion, with a “Hurry up and get it done” attitude. But with Mercury’s move to Scorpio, every word, hell every letter of every word, has deep meaningful segnifigance. A trine between Jupiter and Mars at 6:42 p.m. is more interested in addition than subtraction, and that’s the way Wednesdsay night is gonna be. Uh, huh..

THURSDAY OCTOBER 21
There is a whole division of the Angelic Hierarchy assigned to the sephiroth Chesed (Jupiter) whose purpose is divine inspiration through laughter. And there is no vision more critical in the career of the adept than the Metaversal Joke. Did you here the one about the twin child, the male-female Holy Spirit of the Gnostic Mass, the living fruit of two sexual partners. The Book of Lies teaches that seed and child and parent are mystically one, and that the seed represents the innermost and highest expression of the parent. In the Star Sapphire, a ritual form of the IX, the invocation brings father, mother, son, and daughter (YHVH, above) into one point of mystic union, referred to as Ararita. This daughter-son, the living elixir, is made a sacrifice to the magical goal of the working. Note that it is not metaphorically alive, but literally alive, containing a great quantity of living cells. Thus, for the male magician, it is the sacrifice of "all that he is and all that he has" into the "Cup of Babalon", which is held by the Scarlet Woman of Babylon and in which the blood of the saints is said to be mingled. The inner incubation time is important and knowing when to intuitively act is a part of the process. Even projects already in motion may benefit from releasing attachments to specific pictures or outcomes and allowing for the possibility of even greater expression to unfold.
