Re: Sacred Magic and the Post-Modern Dilemma

Just another aborted attempt to write about this kind of stuff.

The infernally long quote of my original post was from the Empress chapter of Meditations on the Tarot. Funny, I just this evening read this from the Zohar:
Quote:
Moreover, we may regard the words, "Let us make man" as to convey this: to the lower beings who derived from the side of the upper world God disclosed the secret of how to form the divine name Adam, in which is encompassed the upper and the lower, in the force of it's three letters aleph, dalet, and mem final.
We already talked about Aleph being the Fool, and Mem the Hanged Man, so that leaves Dalet the Empress. We're ready to make man! Everybody sing...

It's rainin' men, hallelujah...

Chris
