REVERIES OF THE AERIAL ALCHEMIST

FIRST WALK: The Great Work and Thelemic Mysticism

I will come home again, but not until The sun and the moon meet on yon hill... I'll send your love to Zeus Oh, by the time you read this...

Amen is the Egyptian equivalent of Zeus

Amen (Amon, Amun, Ammon, Amoun)

Amen's name means "The Hidden One." Amen was the patron deity of the city of Thebes, and was viewed (along with his consort Amenet) as a primordial creation-deity by the priests of Hermopolis. When the Thebans had established their sovereignty in Egypt, Amen became a prominent deity, and by Dynasty XVIII was termed the King of the Gods. His famous temple, Karnak, is the largest religious structure ever built by man. Amen, by Dynasty XIX-XX, was thought of as an invisible creative power which was the source of all life in heaven, and on the earth, and in the great deep, and in the Underworld, and which made itself manifest under the form of Ra.

During the New Kingdom, Amen's consort was Mut, "Mother," who seems to have been the Egyptian equivalent of the "Great Mother" archetype. The two thus formed a pair reminiscent of the God and Goddess of other traditions such as Wicca. Their child was the moon god Khons.

Mut (Golden Dawn, Auramooth) The wife of Amen in Theban tradition; the word mut in Egyptian means "mother", and she was the mother of Khons, the moon god.

Khons (Chons) The third member (with his parents Amen and Mut) of the great triad of Thebes. Khons was the god of the moon. The best-known story about him tells of him playing the ancient game senet ("passage") against Thoth, and wagering a portion of his light. Thoth won, and because of losing some of his light, Khons cannot show his whole glory for the entire month, but must wax and wane. The main temple in the enclosure at Karnak is dedicated to him.

My Pussy Queen Knows all my secrets. I'll never fall in love again...

The cover to THE RED SHOES is predominately black and red (as is the video and TLTC&TC film). The colors BLACK and RED date back to Ancient Egypt. Egypt was known as the "Black and Red Land" - a "Black Land" because of the rich black soil; a "Red land" because of the desert that protected Egypt on both sides from enemies.

Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust...

Egypt was also the center of Alchemy. Lucifereans regard alchemy as the transformation of the human soul into the godhead, a transformation which completes Satan's unfinished work!

I'm busy chasing up my demon...

The true meaning of the "Temple of Solomon" is the TEMPLE OF THE SUN. "Sol" "Om" and "On" are all words for the Sun. "Sol" is the Latin word for the Sun and is close to the English word "soul." "Om" is a name given by the Hindus to the Spiritual Sun, and "On" is an Egyptian word for Sun. During dynastic Egypt Ra's cult center was Annu (Hebrew "On", Greek "Heliopolis", modern-day "Cairo").

And this curve, is your smile And this cross, is your heart And this line, is your path...

The Chi Rho (the line, the cross and the curve) originates from the skull and crossed bones. The Skull and Bones is symbolic of the Nigredo stage of the Magnum Opus (the transformation of the soul into the godhead). This is the death stage in the work, before the soul is purified into the godhead. The dross is separated from the pure.
